Chapter Thirty-Six: Luring the Enemy with Your Body
"It is our monk's business to resist foreign enemies, and it is not your turn to intervene, and even if you adopt your methods, it will not be you who will sit in the chariot. Qi Qingru's tone was very tough, but he vaguely agreed with Yi Jiuxiao's strategy.
Yi Jiuxiao waved his hand and said more resolutely: "You must think that I am a useless reader, or because of my status as a deputy envoy, I am not allowed to take risks, but this idea was conceived, and the risk must be borne by me." This is my principle of being a person and doing things, and I hope you two will not fight with me, and you will not embarrass me. ”
At this moment, Yi Jiuxiao was actually a little unangry and powerful, so that Qi Bin and Qi Qingru didn't have the courage to argue with him anymore, and unanimously acquiesced to this idea.
Qi Qingru went to find the princess and invited the seventh princess to his carriage. The princess's eight maids were divided into two carriages, which were placed at the end of the procession and mixed with the spare carriages.
Yi Jiuxiao quietly entered Feng Yuan. This phoenix chariot turned out to be a magic weapon, one zhang five feet long, six feet wide, and the interior was very comfortable.
There are many formations engraved around the phoenix, and a lot of spirit stones are inlaid on it, which is extremely strong and durable, which can resist external attacks, and is very lightweight.
Sure enough, not long after the team set off, the tall monk appeared in mid-air, and the shield soldier immediately sacrificed his shield to protect the phoenix chariot tightly, so that the tall monk could not attack.
Instantly, the tall monk fled ahead and disappeared without a trace.
Two hours later, the tall monk appeared like a ghost over the crowd, looking at them with a playful look.
To his disappointment, the shield didn't move this time, and the whole team seemed to ignore his presence and continued to move forward.
This made the tall monk feel very unnatural, unaccustomed, and hesitant.
After hesitating for about half an hour, the tall monk did not move, and then flew in the air and disappeared in front of him.
Qi Bin immediately communicated with Qi Qingru with his divine thoughts, and Qi Qingru's reply was to let him go, but he had to strengthen his vigilance and brake quietly.
Qi Qingru himself is extremely intelligent and very calm, although he has not joined the army, he is better than Qi Bin in many aspects.
In the middle of the night, the tall monk once again stood above the camp, overlooking the chariots and horses below.
Whether in the tent or in the carriage, it was quiet. Only the horses were munching on the hay and making a sound that made the whole camp seem quieter, a little tempting, and a little frightened.
The tall monk's stick-shaped magic weapon was already in his hand, but he didn't dare to do it. This time he went on this mission with his brother, and his brother was already devastated, which made him very frightened.
His two brothers are cultivators of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, and the short monk is named Zhou Shikun, who is a five-layer cultivator in the middle of the Jindan period, and is enshrined by the Zhou royal family. The tall monk's name is Zhou Shizhong, a third-level cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, and he served in the Zhou army.
Before the Qi country's affiliation team left the capital, the spies arranged by the Zhou State in the Qi State had already received the news, and even the composition of the team was clearly inquired.
Among them: the main personnel are the royal forbidden army, the sergeants are all above the sixth level of qi refining, a few are in the early stage of foundation building, and the two commanders are in the late stage of foundation building. The leader of the team, King An Yuan, is the sixth layer in the middle stage of Jindan, and his daughter Qi Qingru is the ninth layer in the late stage of foundation building, as for Yi Jiuxiao, the only person who is not a monk, they also know it.
Qi refining is the introduction to cultivation, and there are many such monks in the Qi and Zhou countries, and ordinary soldiers are the most common. On top of Qi refining is to build a foundation, and the number of foundation building monks is much less, and many Qi refining monks cannot build a foundation in their lifetime. After the foundation is built, there is the golden pill, and the monks who can condense the golden pill are almost rare.
Whether it is the Qi State or the Zhou State, they are all billions of people, but the Jindan monks will never exceed a hundred.
After Jindan is the realm of Yuanying, there are even fewer of them. And after arriving at Yuanying, almost all of them concentrated on cultivation, trying to transform into gods and ascend, and they didn't have the heart to ask about the worldly things at all, unless they destroyed the country, it would be difficult for even the emperor to invite them.
After receiving the news of the spies, Zhou immediately reported to the emperor of Zhou, this matter is not trivial, if the two countries of Qi and Wei are allowed to marry hand in hand, it will be very unfavorable to Zhou.
The emperor of Zhou was very ambitious, bent on annexing the surrounding countries, and his strength was stronger than that of the surrounding countries. However, if Qi and Wei joined forces, their strength would not be inferior to that of Zhou.
Therefore, it is necessary to destroy, to kill or capture the princess, and to strangle the harmony operation on the way.
But King Anyuan, a sixth-layer monk of Jindan, gave Emperor Zhou a little headache, and he could easily handle this matter by finding two masters of the late stage of Jindan, but there were not many monks in the late stage of Jindan of Zhou State, and they were all in important positions, so it was not suitable for them to leave.
In desperation, the emperor of Zhou sent Zhou Shikun and Zhou Shizhong brothers, both of whom were masters of Jindan and were also famous in Zhou.
Especially his younger brother Zhou Shizhong, who has been in the army for a long time, not only has a high level of cultivation, but also is good at various schemes.
Brother Jindan can fly against the wind, one or two thousand miles a day, and it is easy to catch up with the escort team.
However, they did not choose to start in Gyeonggi and the surrounding prefectures and counties, which had little chance of victory, but followed the march route, and finally chose to do it at the junction of Ganju and Shazhou, which is a zone where both sides do not care.
The bridge over the river Gan was not washed away by the flood, but was deliberately vandalized two days before the party arrived. One was to delay the march, and the other was to take advantage of the sudden attack when the sergeants crossed the river.
Who knew that King Anyuan actually used the magic weapon of the flying boat to cross the river, which made the brothers very happy, thinking that it was a godsend. So I waited until King Anyuan's mana was exhausted before making a move.
Who knew that it was still a miscalculation, but he didn't expect King An Yuan to use a secret method to restore his mana, and he killed Zhou Shikun with a thunderbolt.
Even in the face of the forbidden army formation, Zhou Shizhong did not take advantage, and if he hadn't escaped in time, he might have died.
Although Zhou Shizhong has always been in the army, he has never led the forbidden army, and he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.
Under normal circumstances, a single Qi refining cultivator, Zhou Shizhong could pinch to death with his hand, but the mana of hundreds or hundreds of people was superimposed, and a group of ants could also bite an elephant to death.
After the failure of the ambush, Zhou Shizhong immediately transmitted the news back to the state of Zhou, but he did not return himself. He was not willing to fail, and he was not willing to let his brother die like this.
He was almost certain that King An Yuan must have used the secret method, and after using the secret method, he would definitely be injured and would not be able to participate in the battle for a few months.
If King Anyuan loses his combat power, he has a way to torture them in the face of this group of ants below the foundation.
Therefore, he took the trouble to harass the escort team, one is to determine whether King An Yuan is really seriously injured, and the other is to exhaust the army. As long as the ants are tired, he will see the opportunity to eat them one by one.
However, today's group of ants actually ignored themselves, which made Zhou Shizhong quite suspicious, but everyone who is good at scheming likes to treat others with themselves, and they are suspicious by nature, so they dare not start.
The tall monk fled again, and he didn't appear again for two days in a row, which made Yi Jiuxiao suspicious.
The danger has definitely not been lifted, this tall monk will definitely not give up, is it any more tactics, after all, the enemy is in the dark, and his own people are in the light, Yi Jiuxiao would rather the tall monk stand on top of his head all day long, so that he still has the strength to fight.
That night, there were Yi Jiuxiao, Qi Qingru and Qi Bin sitting in the tent, looking at Yi Jiuxiao's silence and thinking hard, Qi Qingru couldn't help but want to taunt him.
"Don't you have a lot of plans? Now why don't you say a word, we will all listen to you. ”
Yi Jiuxiao glared at her and said, "What can I do, I'm waiting to die, but this guy just doesn't dare to do it, he can't let me run out to lure the enemy, right?"
To lure the enemy is to lure the enemy, Yi Jiuxiao suddenly had an idea, and a bold idea appeared in his mind. He thought of leaving the group alone, luring the tall monk to intercept him, and then waiting for an opportunity to kill him.
The fish did not take the bait because there was no bait, and this tall monk was a cunning fish, and the fact that he had not appeared in the past two days did not mean that he had left, but must have been following him from the side.
When he said this idea, it attracted Qi Qingru's scolding: "Yi Jiuxiao, I know that you don't want to live anymore, is there no hope for the future to find a way to find death, you go to be the bait, what do you rely on? ”
Yes, this idea is very risky, very risky! Even Yi Jiuxiao himself thinks so.
The other party is a Jindan monk, and he only has the realm of Martial Sect. The combat power of the Martial Sect Realm is equivalent to the foundation building realm of cultivation, and it still has a good chance of winning against a foundation building monk.
But the Jindan Realm, even in the early stage of Jindan, is much stronger than the late stage of foundation building, what can you do to compete with it?
"County Lord, I have made up my mind, I don't need your care, and I don't need your participation, I will implement my plan tomorrow. ”
Yi Jiuxiao's tone was very resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all, but he only said that he left the team to tempt the enemy to make a move, and did not say how the enemy would protect himself, which made others believe and rest assured.
"Hmph, I want to restrict your freedom, and from tomorrow onwards, I will confine you to the phoenix and not come out, lest you cause trouble. ”
Qi Qingru is a monk in the late stage of foundation building, restricting a mortal is the easiest thing, just a spell, a talisman, a formation can make a mortal lose his freedom.
"Is it that King Anyuan is injured, and you want to rebel? Do you still take me as a deputy envoy in your eyes? If your father tells me this, I will naturally obey, but you can't, I hope you don't willfully delay the military plane. ”
Yi Jiuxiao looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and he really stunned the two foundation building monks.
"Then I don't care about you, you can do it yourself. Qi Qingru flicked his sleeves and disappeared in the tent.
