The Taoist seems to be moving slowly, but in fact the speed is quite fast, and many people have disappeared in front of them before they have time to see their backs.

Out of the courtyard where Chu Yi lived, Li Renxiao's face became very ugly, if he still had a glimmer of hope before, then being rejected by Chu Yi this time made Li Renxiao see Chu Yi's determination to conquer Western Xia.

Although Li Renxiao regretted very much why he was not able to persuade his father in the first place, Li Renxiao also knew in his heart that no matter how much he regretted and complained now, it was useless, and Li Renxiao knew very well that even if they did not help Dajin this time, the grievances between Xixia and the Great Song Dynasty, once the Great Song Dynasty was full-fledged, sooner or later they would use troops against the Western Xia, it was nothing more than a matter of time.

Looking at Zhu Danchen and his party on the side, Li Renxiao took a deep breath and said to his subordinates: "Let's go back." ”

As he was talking, he saw a figure on the long street in front of him, and it was the Taoist who was just now.

The figure of the Taoist figure was fluttering, like an immortal family on the verge of dust, and at this moment, his figure stopped in front of a group of people. It can be said that everyone who saw this famous Taoist was slightly stunned, and his face showed a look of consternation.

Cao Xiyun seemed to have not noticed the gaze of the crowd, and his clear eyes looked at the courtyard behind them through the crowd.

Hearing Cao Xiyun step out slowly, the people who stopped in front of Cao Xiyun subconsciously retreated to both sides to make way for a road.

Yang Zaixing's eyes narrowed, staring at the person who came, and he stepped forward with a little vigilance: "Who is coming?" ”

Cao Xiyun glanced at Yang Zaixing, and said with a slight salute: "Please Tongbing, just say that Wenyi Daoist wants to see Chu Yi Daoyou." ”

A look of surprise flashed in Yang Zaixing's eyes, as if he knew something about this person, he looked at it carefully, and then took a deep breath and said: "It turned out to be Cao Xiangu, even so, Xiangu will go to Tongbing for Xiangu later." ”

Li Renxiao, Zhu Danchen and others, who had not gone far at this time, clearly heard Yang Zaixing's words, and they all showed their expressions when they heard them.

"It turned out to be her, and it was really as rumored that she was like an immortal, unstained with mortal dust!"

"Why did Cao Xiangu come to find King Song?"

Whether it was Li Renxiao and the others, or those who secretly recognized Cao Xiyun's identity, they all showed surprise, obviously they didn't expect that this famous Cao Xiangu would take the initiative to find Chu Yi.

However, when I thought that Cao Xiangu was dedicated to cultivating the Dao, she only had the pursuit of the Great Dao in her heart, and considering that Chu Yi was a rare powerhouse in the world, then Cao Xiangu could understand that she came to find Chu Yi.

Soon Yang Zaixing's figure appeared at the door, and he saluted Cao Xiyun and said, "My Royal Highness has invited the fairy aunt." ”

Cao Xiyun bowed slightly, stepped out and walked into the courtyard, and soon Cao Xiyun saw a figure standing under the big tree in the courtyard.

The big tree that was at least a hundred years old sprinkled a piece of shade, and Chu Yi was standing there with his hands behind his back at the moment, as if sensing Cao Xiyun's breath, Chu Yi slowly turned around and looked at Cao Xiyun.

When he saw Cao Xiyun, Chu Yi was not surprised, for Cao Xiyun, Chu Yi was actually not the first time he had seen him.

I think that Cao Xiyun once helped the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, and it was at that time that Chu Yi had seen Cao Xiyun, female celestials in this world are rare, such as Mu Guiying and Cao Xiyun are all women of the same era, which are forgettable and unforgettable at first sight.

Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Immortal Gu is coming, please forgive me for missing the distance." ”

Cao Xiyun stared at Chu Yi directly, his eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see Chu Yi through, if he didn't know the inside story, I am afraid that Cao Xiyun would still think that Cao Xiyun had taken a fancy to Chu Yi.

However, whether it is Chu Yi or Cao Xiyun, the two of them know in their hearts that their hearts are very strong, and there are very few different surnames in this world that can make them feel tempted.

Cao Xiyun saluted Chu Yi and said very directly: "Xiyun is reckless, if there is rudeness, I want to ask His Highness for forgiveness." ”

Chu Yi stretched out his hand slightly and motioned for Cao Xiyun to sit down.

Cao Xiyun sat opposite Chu Yi generously, his eyes were still staring at Chu Yi, and he heard Cao Xiyun say: "Xiyun came this time to ask His Highness." ”

For Cao Xiyun, Chu Yi naturally knows a lot, this strange woman is rare in the world, intoxicated with cultivation, as for that kind of cultivation, it is simply the result of her cultivation.

In other words, Cao Xiyun is dedicated to cultivating, as for that martial arts attainment, it is not his deliberate cultivation at all, but only his own incidental cultivation in the process of cultivation.

I don't know what it would be like if I let those who have been practicing hard know about this. But from this point, it can also be seen how amazing Cao Xiyun's talent is, even much stronger than that of the king Yu Yanlai.

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "I can talk to the fairy girl, but I can't ask for it." ”

Cao Xiyun was able to write the power of "Lingyuan Avenue Song" to pass on the Taoist classics to future generations, just like Chu Yi discussed the Tao with the sages of the Taoist Sect before, and gained a lot.

Chu Yi believed that Cao Xiyun's Taoist attainments were only afraid that he was no worse than those great sages in the world, and it would be helpful to discuss Taoism with him.

When Chu Yi was discussing with Cao Xiyun here, the news that Li Qinglu and Wang Yuyan, two peerless beauties, recommended themselves for pillow seats and were rejected by Chu Yi spread at a very fast speed.

The Western Xia mission itself did not hide in the slightest, it can be said to be extremely high-profile, and the purpose was precisely to create influence, trying to use public opinion to force Chu Yi to give up the conquest of Western Xia after accepting Li Qinglu.

Originally, Xixia's consideration was no problem, but the premise was that Chu Yi accepted Li Qinglu, but now it is good, Chu Yi has no intention of accepting Li Qinglu at all, but this time it made Xixia lose face, and for a while, it became a joke.

In the palace, Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Yu and said: "I thought that Chu Yi would accept Li Qinglu's second daughter, after all, the second daughter is the best among women in the world in terms of appearance, temperament, and identity, but there are few people who can compare with it, but I never thought that Chu Yi would really refuse." ”

Zhao Yu stroked his beard, his eyes flashed with a bright light and said with a smile: "This is just an expected thing, in this way, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Hearing Zhao Yu say this, Zhao Gou showed a little smile on his face and nodded slightly: "People in the world are all running for fame and fortune, and if Chu Yi acts like this, he is not taken to heart whether it is power or beauty, it seems that he is really a person who is bent on seeking the Tao, and I don't have to worry about him taking the throne of me anymore." ”

Zhao Yu chuckled: "But there is one thing Your Majesty remembers, for what Chu Yi wants, no matter what, you must cooperate, if what I expect is not bad, Chu Yi will have something to ask for when he conquers Western Xia." ”

Zhao Gouman was puzzled and said: "He doesn't seek power, gold and silver, and even more beauty, I really can't think of what else he wants." ”

Saying that, Zhao Gou nodded to Zhao Yu and reassured: "Uncle Wang, although rest assured, I know in my heart that one day Chu Yi wants me to take the throne, I will not hesitate at all." ”

patted Zhao Gou's shoulder, Zhao Yu laughed heartily and said, "Your Majesty can have such an understanding, and you can rest assured that you are old." ”

On the second day, Li Renxiao paid homage to Zhao Gou, and even if he resigned to the imperial court, it can be said that he came with hope and returned in embarrassment.

Dali is more confident than the Western Xia, even so, Zhu Danchen and his party followed the Western Xia delegation and left Bianliang, after all, they had to send the news back as soon as possible.

Fools know that Chu Yi's attitude determines whether the two countries of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia will be at war or peace, and now the situation is already obvious, Chu Yi has made it clear that he wants to use troops against the Western Xia, so that other countries need to think about how to deal with themselves next.

In the summer of the second year of Shaoxing in the Great Song Dynasty, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Chu Yi, the king of the Song Dynasty, wrote to the Son of Heaven, stating the ten major crimes of the Western Xia, and imploring the conquest of the Western Xia and the pacification of the northwest.

Zhao Gou, the Son of Heaven, worshiped Chu Yi as the commander of the three armies above the court, responsible for the conquest of Western Xia, and gave Shang Fang the sword.

The 100,000-strong army had already been requisitioned from the north in half a month, and this time the army was marching out, and the momentum was extremely huge, and the banner was like a forest, and it was very noisy.

The people of Beijing even watched the army oath meeting from a distance of more than ten miles out of the city on the day of the army's opening, and when they saw the dense and black cavalry team that could not see the edge, I don't know how many people let out a cry of amazement.

Because of the loss of the land for raising horses, the Great Song Dynasty lacked suitable war horses, so it was said that there was an extreme lack of cavalry since the beginning of the founding of the country, and even for hundreds of years, the whole country did not prepare a strong cavalry team.

A scene like this one, with tens of thousands of cavalry, is at least the first time it has been seen since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is no wonder that the people who saw this scene from afar were amazed.

Looking at the majestic cavalry team, even Zhao Gou, who was standing on the high platform, couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and looked at the tens of thousands of cavalry below with surprise.

On the high platform, Chu Yi, who had completed the oath, bowed to Zhao Gou, and then turned to leave.

The army was pulled out, and it took half a day for the mighty soldiers and horses to leave the barracks and go away in the hustle and bustle.

At the same time as the army was marching out, several teams of fast horses galloped away, which were the spies buried by Tubo, Western Xia, Dali and other countries in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the middle of the army, in Chu Yi's incomparably wide carriage, a figure was sitting opposite Chu Yi, looking at Chu Yi with a solemn face, who was it not Cao Xiangu.

If you don't know, you still think that the two of them are doing in the carriage, but Chu Yi and Cao Xiyun don't care about other people's opinions at all.

I have to say that Cao Xiyun is really talented, after discussing the Tao that day, both Chu Yi and Cao Xiyun have gained, and Cao Xiyun even stayed directly in the other courtyard and borrowed Chu Yi's ashram retreat to practice.

When the army was opened, Cao Xiyun went out of the pass, and his cultivation actually took a small step, and he reached the peak of heaven and man.

To be honest, when it comes to cultivation, Chu Yi's cultivation is equivalent to Cao Xiyun's, as for talent, Chu Yi thinks that he is much worse than Cao Xiyun, but fortunately, Chu Yi has such a powerful cheat as the Altar of Luck.

Once you burn your luck with the help of the Qi Luck Altar, you are in a state close to an epiphany, even if you are the pride of the sky, you can't compare to Chu Yi.

Cao Xiyun, who made great progress in Taoism, did not leave, but was attracted by many Taoist scriptures and teachings from later generations thrown out by Chu Yi, and stayed directly by Chu Yi's side.

Great Song Western Army

As the person in charge of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, Tong Guan can be said to be powerful, of course, this is without the existence of Chu Yi, if there is no Chu Yi, Tong Guan is in charge of the 200,000 Western Army, which can definitely be regarded as powerful, and few people can reach it.

However, as soon as Chu Yi came out, it made Tong Guan bleak, and people in the world only knew Chu Yi but not Tong Guan, although this was quite good for Tong Guan, but Tong Guan didn't feel a little aggrieved in his heart.

As soon as he introduced the eunuch, what he wanted was power and the name behind him, but the result was good, no matter how well he did in the northwest, he was compared with Chu Yi at once.

This time the imperial court decided to conquer Western Xia, to be honest, what Tong Guan was looking forward to most was to be able to lead the army by him, but unfortunately he knew that it was just a dream, and he was much worse than Chu Yi.

Therefore, when Tong Guan received the order of the Son of Heaven to assist Chu Yi in his expedition to Western Xia and do a good job of logistics for Chu Yi, although he said that he was very unhappy in his heart, he had to respond honestly.

On this day, Tong Guan beat the drum and gathered the generals, and among the Western Army, a group of generals gathered in the tent, looking at Tong Guan in armor with burning eyes.

I have to say that Tong Guan is burly and straight, with a murderous aura, at first glance, he is simply an Angzang man, in the market, many people rumored that Tong Guan, as a strong man of heaven and man, must have recovered the body of a man, otherwise, how could he be so brave.

It's just that rumors are rumors, and as for whether Tong Guan has recovered his male body, no one dares to ask.

At this moment, Tong Guan's eyes swept over the generals, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty has ordered us to assist His Royal Highness the King of Song in the expedition to Western Xia. ”

Tong Guan has also controlled the Western Army for so many years, it can be said that at least most of the generals present are Tong Guan's henchmen, these people know Tong Guan's mind very well, and when they heard Tong Guan say this, everyone subconsciously looked at Tong Guan.

Tong Guan's face was gloomy and solemn, and he waved his hand and said, "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and prepare." ”

When everyone left, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi stayed, only to hear Zhang Jun say in a low voice: "Enxiang, the destruction of Western Xia can be described as a monstrous achievement, if the King of Song is defeated this time, and Enxiang turns the tide, it will not be a problem to worship the king and even surpass Chu Yi......"

Tong Guan's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Zhang Jun lightly and snorted coldly: "Enough, you are not afraid of death, there are no outsiders here today, if you are heard, I am afraid that you and I will be killed......"

Zhang Jun hurriedly lowered his head and said with a panicked look: "The subordinates are panicked, and the subordinates just feel unworthy for Enxiang......"
