Zhang Ming soon arrived in Ningcheng.

"The rebirth of broken bones is not so much a medical technique as a Taoist technique." As soon as he heard Liu Xiu's doubts, Zhang Ming immediately answered: "Because this has a lot to do with the injured person, it is far more important than the person who performs the spell." ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Zhang Ming nodded affirmatively: "I heard the great sage and good master say that a person who is truly successful in Taoism, as long as his heart does not die, even a stump can be regenerated, let alone a broken leg." However, most of the cultivators who have reached this realm have no quarrel with the world, and no one can hurt them with their Dao skills. Wait a minute, it's natural for people with Dao skills to recover faster than others, and those who are strong are faster than those who are thin, right? ”

"I can accept this, but it can be recovered in a month after three months of injury, isn't that outrageous?" Liu Xiu still couldn't believe it, "I fought with Huai Zong, and his martial arts skills are higher than mine, but there is not such a big gap." ”

"Maybe he's barely able to walk for just a month, and he's not fully recovered." Zhang Ming didn't believe it either, and there was a bit of disdain in his tone: "I haven't heard of any clever Taoist priests on the grassland, a Hu Dog, it is possible to be physically stronger, when it comes to Taoism, I am afraid that they don't even know the fur with their sorcerers." ”

"Are you familiar with the wizards of the Hu people?" Liu Xiu asked very casually.

"I've been exposed to some." Zhang Ming pursed his lips disapprerovingly: "Most of them are deceitful goods, and few of them have real skills." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Then can you come with me to Baishan and deter those dogs with your Dao skills?" ”

Zhang Ming looked at Liu Xiu in amazement, and after a while, he laughed, and his smile was a little weird: "Do you know who I am?" ”

"I know, the earthquake envoy among the eight disciples under the seat of the great sage and good master of the Taiping Dao." Liu Xiu laughed twice: "If you don't dare to go, I won't force it." ”

"You don't come to this set." Zhang Ming was so angry with him that he couldn't hold back his reserve, and said angrily: "You still know that I am one of the eight great disciples, and you actually let me be your minion." Since the beginning of my Taoism, no one has dared to be so bold except for serving the great sages and good teachers. Do you think I'm being too kind to you? ”

"Don't." Liu Xiu hurriedly said: "I really hope to get your help, and by the way, I will actually verify the question of the authenticity of the Dao technique." Besides, since you are an envoy and are in charge of the religious affairs of the Northeast, and this Youzhou is within the scope of your mission, how can you tolerate those witches pretending to be gods and ghosts and bewitching sentient beings? ”

"And!" Zhang Ming was disdainful and got up to leave.

"I can tell you, if we can't convince the Wuhuan people, not only do we have no reinforcements, but we also have to divide our troops to guard against them, Ningcheng may be fine, but Shanggu will definitely suffer, and those displaced people who can't enter the city will also suffer heavy casualties......"

"You threaten me?" Zhang Ming turned his head violently, glared at Liu Xiu angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "When did you care so much about the surname of Douji Xiaomin?" ”

"I don't know about others, but I've always cared." Liu Xiu met Zhang Ming's gaze and said calmly: "I saw so many displaced people in Ningcheng, and I realized how many deaths and injuries it would bring if I couldn't keep Ningcheng. Zhang Envoy, I'm not threatening you, I'm begging you, asking you to help me, no matter what means I use, I must force the Wuhuan people to bow their heads, even if they refuse to send troops, at least promise neutrality, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Xianbei people. ”

Zhang Ming took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and slowly spit it out, twisting his brows and thinking for a long time, before nodding: "Okay, then I'll help you once." However, if you make me think that you lied to me this time, I will definitely not let you go. ”

"You can rest assured of that." Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He wants to go to Baishan to persuade Nanlou, but it is definitely not possible to be reasonable, since Li Ding has not been able to persuade Nanlou with reason, he has to change his method. It's useless to bring too many people, no matter how many people there are, it is impossible to level Baishan, he needs to be a master, a very high master, and Zhang Ming is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow." Liu Xiudao: "I also want to ask the captain to cooperate and make some arrangements." ”

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you outside the city tomorrow morning." Zhang Ming said very simply: "Since you are so concerned about the life and death of the homeless, then please tell that Lord Xia by the way, our food is too small, I hope he can be generous." ”

"It will be done." Liu Xiu said without thinking. Zhang Ming glanced at him, turned around and strode out the door, disappearing into the crowd in a blink of an eye. Although Liu Xiu's eyesight is excellent, he still didn't see how he left after looking at it for a while.

……

"What do you want me to do?" Xia Yumo held the knife ring and looked at Liu Xiu who was sitting opposite him quietly.

"I want to ask your lord to prepare for the expedition against Wuhuan."

"Conquering Wuhuan?" Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes became cold: "You...... Not sure? ”

"My lord is a famous general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has fought with the Qiang people for many years, so he must know the surnames of these Qiang Hu." Liu Xiu said calmly: "Of course it's a good thing to be able to convince, but if you don't have enough strength and determination to use force, I don't think they will be so obedient, otherwise there is no need for me to go, I believe that Li Cheng's eloquence will definitely be above me." ”

Xia Yu's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his beard, looking at Liu Xiu with a smile, as if he felt that he was too stupid to say this: "You really want to use force Nanlou to bow your head, aren't you afraid that Nanlou will kill you because of this?" ”

Liu Xiu was still unflustered: "Only if adults have the determination to use force, I will be safer." I want to use the tiger power of the adults to shock their hearts, and let them know that although my great Han established the world with virtue, he not only had the scriptures in the mouth of Confucianism, but also the sharp swords in the hands of the adults. Not only can you conquer the four seas, but you can also cross the desert and kill all directions. ”

Although Xia Yu listened to these words comfortably, he was still a little suspicious, he kept clamoring to attack Nanlou, that was just to force Liu Yu, if he really wanted to start a war, he could not defeat Nanlou with only the two thousand cavalry in the city, even if Nanlou did not use other nomadic tribes outside, just the standing guards in Baishan were enough to fight with him.

"You know, I only have two thousand men under me." Xia Yu reminded, his tone softened a lot.

"I know." Liu Xiu nodded: "However, now in Ningcheng, in addition to the warriors under the captain, there are also Youzhou elites from Zhuo County, and Hebei Jinbing from Jizhou, I think this is enough to make Nanlou hold his temper and listen to me finish speaking." ”

Xia Yu's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, the corners of his mouth provoked a smile, he nodded slightly: "Yes, yes, I was negligent in this." Since this is the case, then do as you say, and let the old dog in Nanlou be a little more peaceful. However, I want to warn you that although I don't have a good impression of the Wuhuan people, the most important enemy now is the Xianbei people, and you can't let me suffer from the enemy. ”

"Don't worry, sir." Liu Xiu bowed: "I will do my best to try not to embarrass adults." ”

Xia Yu stroked the short beard on his lips and smiled: "Deran, I know that your senior brother is a little dissatisfied with my invitation to invite you into the mansion, and I don't know how many times I have scolded me behind my back. But let me tell you, no matter how hard you scolded me, I don't regret this decision, but I feel more and more that this decision is very wise, and ...... I hope you won't regret it in the end. ”

"Thank you, sir." Liu Xiu bowed again. Anyway, Lu Zhi's side can't be counted on, whether Lu Min is fooled or willing, he has already been labeled as a martial artist, and they have no other way to retreat, but to move forward bravely and fight their way out. What's more, the troubled times are coming, having military power in hand is much more useful than knowing a few words of sage classics, Cao Sun Liu can divide the world into three parts, relying not on scripture, but on the bloody war knife in his hand, but on those Confucians who are full of economy, including the Yuan family and the Yang family of the fourth and third princes, including his great Confucian teacher Lu Zhi, and finally became lambs to be slaughtered.
