The first time Qiu Yizhi walked this tunnel, because he climbed from the bottom up, it was very hard. Although this second time is from top to bottom, I am afraid that my words will be exposed, and if I can, I will not speak, and I will not speak if I can, and it will be very dull along the way. In addition, the backbone of the Tianzun Sect behind him had a large bag and a small bag, and he didn't know how much luggage he was carrying, and he didn't walk fast. Therefore, he felt that he had walked a lot more hours than when he had gone up the mountain.

When such a group of people drilled out of the secret passage hole under the mountain, it was already full of stars, and the time had passed to see the sky, and it was time to go. When he was about to leave the tunnel, Yizhi specially instructed everyone to extinguish the torch Songming in their hands in case they were discovered by the officials and soldiers, so it was pitch black outside the entrance of the cave, and only a lantern in Qiu Yizhi's hand emitted a faint light, and he couldn't see the surrounding situation at all.

This Deacon Shi has never been at ease with "Xu Jia", lest this unknown kid make some conspiracy. This way, Mrs. Taiping Ping left the Yuhuangding General Altar from the tunnel and returned to the ground, then she settled down, followed the lantern, walked to Yizhi, and said: "It's all up to Senior Brother Xu today, otherwise my Tianzun Holy Sect will definitely fight together with the officials and soldiers to break the net!" It's not that the senior brother is afraid of death, but he is afraid that the elite of this war sect will be lost, and he doesn't know when the holy sect will be revived. ”

Although Yizhi heard what he said in his mouth, although it was dignified and very painful, there was joy in his tone that could not be concealed after all, and he knew that most of this plan had been successful, so he flattered: "Deacon Shi is really far-sighted, and it is impossible for me to be a child!" I wonder if the backbone of the sect has arrived? I'll discuss it later, and then I'll think about it in the long run......"

When Deacon Shi heard this, he nodded slightly, went back to take inventory, and said, "All fifty-eight, one is not much, and one is not many!" ”

"Good! I ......" Before Yizhi's words fell, as soon as he let go of his hand, a lantern fell to the ground, and the wick oil inside knocked over to the ground, and suddenly burned a large piece of grass.

Before Deacon Shi could ask what was going on, he saw flames all around, and countless officers and soldiers holding torches surrounded him. The officer at the head was a tall man, with a sword in his hand, and shouted: "You have been surrounded, and you should not surrender quickly!" When the Heavenly Venerable Sect heard this, they immediately became confused.

Seeing this, Yi Zhi shouted: "Scheme! Medium! Before the words fell, he ran away. Before he could take a few steps, he fell to the ground with an arrow stuck in his back.

The officer at the head shouted again: "If you don't surrender, you're like this!" The officers and soldiers around him all shouted in unison: "If you don't surrender, you will be like this!" If you don't surrender, that's it! "The Tianzun Sect shouted to the heart.

This sudden change in the situation, everyone was so frightened that they lost their souls, and they didn't dare to resist in the slightest, so they were arrested one by one by the officials and soldiers. The officers and soldiers did not speak to them, and one by one they blindfolded them with black cloths, gagged their mouths with hemp pits, tied them like rice dumplings, and threw them on horseback and sent them to the barracks to be imprisoned.

Qiu Yizhi, who had been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead for a long time, stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and smiled at the officers and officers who led the army: "The backbone of the Tianzun Sect has been captured, and the eldest brother is done this time!" ”

It turned out that the leading officer was none other than Zheng Xin, the eldest prince of Youyan King. In accordance with Qiu Yizhi's arrangement, he sent people to follow Yu Mei and "Xu Jia" who had pretended to escape from the barracks from afar, found the exit of the secret passage, ambushed the elite soldiers around him, and attacked with lanterns in one fell swoop, killing the backbone of the cult in one fell swoop.

Rao is Zheng Xin has a vague opinion of Yizhi, but he has to admire his clever plan, and personally help this righteous brother pull out the arrow "inserted" behind his back, pat his shoulder and say: "Thanks to Yizhi's resourcefulness, the eldest brother will naturally not forget this credit!" ”

Qiu Yizhi was also extremely happy to hear it, and did not forget to be modest: "My brother, they are all loyal to the country and filial piety to their father, what credit do you care?" ”

These words touched Zheng Xin's heart, and he didn't want to answer anymore, instead: "Now that the cult members on the top of Yuhuang have no leader, we will send troops to kill them from the secret path up the mountain, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the big thing can be decided!" ”

Qiu Yizhi heard it but said: "I hope that the eldest brother can open the net, especially the one named Yu Mei, you must let the tiger return to the mountain." This Heavenly Venerable Sect Master is still at large, and we have found out his identity, I am afraid that it is on this person. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Xin thought that Yizhi had some plan, and hurriedly asked, "How can this plan be fulfilled?" The foolish brother should ask for advice. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to the eldest brother's question very modestly and politely, but he was embarrassed, scratched his scalp and said: "This plan has not yet been figured out by the junior brother, I just feel that he will be useful in the future if he leaves a foreshadowing in the cult." After that, he grinned and said, "Anyway, this Yu Mei is not a smart person, let him escape, it is just to let the cat return to the mountain, are you still afraid that he will bite?" ”

Zheng Xin really couldn't figure out whether his scheming brother was really as he said, he didn't have a plan, he just felt that he was really cunning, and he wouldn't have any answer if he asked further, so he had to agree: "Yizhi's strategy, I finally accepted it today." The foolish brother will consult with your second brother, and if he doesn't teach you, this plan will fail. With that, the two walked side by side and went back to the barracks.

This Zheng Xin is twenty-five years old this year, and he is in the prime of life. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the son of a vassal king could be made a prince after he reached the age of twenty to inherit the throne. But he waited for five years since the weak crown, but there was still no sign of being canonized as the prince, and even half of the title was crowned by the imperial court. On the other hand, the adult sons of his two uncles Zheng Hua and Zheng Gui, although they are far superior to these cousins in terms of talent, political achievements, and reputation, they are far behind in the title of knighthood. Thinking that the third brother Zheng Miao is eighteen years old this year, it is inevitable that he will not suspect that his father is ready to abolish the elder and establish the young, and as soon as Zheng Miao becomes an adult, he will ask the court to canonize him as the son. This thought—he never revealed it, even to his second brother Zheng Sen, who had a very good relationship—but it was always like a big stone pressed on his chest, and he couldn't let go of it all the time.

Therefore, Zheng Xin often tosses and turns in the middle of the night, boasting that he has never made any mistakes in government affairs and military affairs, although his bow and horse martial arts and literary style are not as good as his wise and martial father, but they are not inferior to several brothers, and they are far better than them in terms of maturity and sophistication. Now is the world of chaos and chaos, the situation is full of crises, except for himself, who can carry forward the career of the famous Youyan King?

Who knew that his father inexplicably recognized Qiu Yizhi as his own son of the moth. I thought it was just a cronie that my father casually raised by his side to be a waiter for pen and ink, but I didn't expect him to be so resourceful, and he has been close to Zheng Miao like a brother since he was a child. It's just that this Qiu Yi is extremely doted on by his father, he can't be wooed, he can't be offended, and he can't let go of his eldest brother's frame to please, he really feels like he is in his throat.

Early the next morning, Youyan's army launched an attack on the Yuhuangding Tianzun Sect's main altar. Since Yizhi's pretended "Xu Jia" has been shot dead by the official army, it is naturally difficult to show his head again, so he can only wait for good news in his own tent.

Just after noon, the battle report had already come -- since the backbone of the Tianzun Sect was captured last night, nearly 200 cult followers had been captured one after another at the entrance of the secret tunnel cave overnight. Early the next morning, Zheng Xin arranged for more than 300 elite soldiers, led by the two personal soldiers who followed Yi Xia Mountain yesterday, from the tunnel into the plagiarism of Yu Huang Ding, along the way he kept encountering Tianzun disciples who tried to escape from the dark passage, and Yu Huang Ding had killed more than 100 people. This secret path is black and long, and the head and tail can't care about each other, when the Youyan elite soldiers entered the main altar from the secret path, the Tianzun disciples didn't know anything, and no one was responsible for organizing resistance, although the will to fight was still strong, but they fought for themselves, and they were killed and defeated in less than half an hour. The Youyan soldiers took this opportunity to open the city gate, and the army swarmed up, finally breaking through the main altar of the Yuhuangding Tianzun Sect, which had been besieged for nearly twenty days.

After listening to the battle report, Qiu Yizhi was very happy, and after dressing it up, he called the general Cui Nan and rushed to the mountain.

The tunnel dug by the Tianzun Sect a hundred years ago was really cramped and dim, and Yizhi didn't want to go through it a third time. Although Cui Nan didn't say it, he was very interested in exploring the reality in the cave. So the two soldiers divided into two roads and went up the mountain surrounded by everyone.

Speaking of which, this is also the second time that the autumn ceremony has climbed Funiu Mountain from the serious mountain road within a few days, but today's major event has been decided, and the mood is different from the day before yesterday, and there is leisure to enjoy the mountain scenery. Along the way, sometimes there are strange rocks, sometimes see strange pines towering, close up to see strange flowers and plants, and look at the waterfall from afar, it really makes people have a kind of refreshing pleasure. Shuttling in this beautiful scenery, Yizhi walked naturally and briskly, and when he climbed to the top of Yuhuang, the sun was still high. Filtered by a thin cloud of mist, the light emitted by the sun is no longer scorching, and gently spreads on the body, making people feel extremely refreshing.

The group swaggered into the main altar of the Tianzun Sect from the main entrance, and saw that the battlefield had been cleaned quite cleanly, there was not a single arrow or sword on the ground, only a pool of blackened blood. The captured Tianzun disciples had already been blindfolded, gagged, and placed under centralized custody. The injured soldiers, whether they were Youyan soldiers or Tianzun disciples, although the treatment was very different, they all had military doctors by their side. There were also eight or nine Youyan soldiers who died in battle, and they had already been carefully decorated and placed in one place to be buried with the army back to their hometowns. The corpses of the slain Tianzun disciples were also neatly stacked together, sprinkled with lime all around, and they were waiting to be burned.

Qiu Yizhi entered the main altar last night because he went deep into the tiger's den, and he only wanted to retreat with his whole body, and only then did he have the heart to visit the main altar that the cult had painstakingly managed. I saw that this general altar covers an area of about five acres, in the middle is a rather large square, the ground is paved with stone bricks, the brick joints seem to be filled with glutinous rice, presumably when the construction is very attentive. In the center of the square is a giant tripod, several times larger than the one in Guangyang City that day, presumably lit a raging fire, which is the object of worship of the believers. The square is surrounded by a circle of houses, each three stories high, and the walls are also made of stone to fill in the gaps, so that they are not afraid of slashing and fire, and there is no grip to climb.

Before Qiu Yizhi could afford to take a closer look, a sergeant came forward to report, saying that Zheng Xin and Zheng Sen were already discussing in the main hall, and asked Yi to speak before.

The columns of the main hall of the main altar of this Tianzun Sect are no different from ordinary large households, that is, the four hanging flags of "anger", "foolishness", "resentment" and "benevolence" hanging on the wall are quite eye-catching.

Yi Zhi entered the hall, and before he could speak, Zheng Sen greeted him, and reprimanded with a smile on his face: "Brother Xian has a bad idea, and wants me to deliberately let a few cultists go down the mountain." You see, on this mountain, there are only two intestinal paths from the mountain road and the secret road, how do you tell me to release people? I had to pretend to be negligent in guarding the captives and let a few go. But this surnamed Yu was too timid, and he shrank in the grass alone and didn't dare to come out, so he didn't let me order all the soldiers in the vicinity to be transferred, so he probed his head and left. Hahaha, I'm afraid he's still hiding in the mountains at this time! ”

Yizhi was relieved when he heard this, and he greeted the two brothers, hurriedly exchanged a few words, and then left the hall, and took his entourage to check the situation of the Tianzun Sect's main altar one by one.
