At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the seat of governance in Jizhou was in Xindu, and later after several changes, Yecheng became more and more prosperous, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set Yecheng as the seat of Jizhou in his later years, and the real dragon staff was also placed in Yecheng.

Beihai is not close to Julu, and if a seventh-rank vein master like Shi Xin hurries at full speed, he can only reach it in two days. Fortunately, Zhang Jiao used a delaying tactic against Yuan Shao, and did not agree to surrender or refuse completely, saying that it would take time to think about it, so that Shi Xin's rescue would be possible.

Zhang Ning took the elixir given by Yu Ji, and his cultivation was actually upgraded to four levels in a row, breaking through to the seventh rank and two levels, and the new attributes were as follows.

Zhang Ning:

Pulse Master Level: Seventh-rank double

Exclusive talent: Yellow Turban Holy Maiden, Five Elements Enchantment

Normal Talent: Five Elements Proficiency

Internal strength: Compendium of Taiping Mental Method

Qualification: 94

Base Attribute: Intelligence 115

Professional attributes: Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth 110, Gold 95, Taoism 105, and Charm 98

Ordinary talent "Five Elements Proficiency": The essence of the Taiping Heart Method was written by Zhang Jiao for Zhang Ning with all his heart, which is very in line with the cultivation of the pulse master with the nine-section scepter. After cultivating to the seventh rank, they will comprehend this ordinary talent, which will greatly improve the cultivator's understanding of the five elements and accelerate the growth rate of professional attributes.

Don't look at Zhang Ning's only two exclusive talents and one ordinary talent, you must know that her nine-section staff can mobilize the five element elements, and with the increase of her cultivation, different five-element enchantments can be superimposed, strengthen each other, can be attacked and defended and controlled, and she is a very comprehensive pulse master.

Shi Xin and a group of eight people hurried day and night, and when they arrived at the outskirts of Julu, it was already early morning on the third day. There are people from the Eagle Department communicating along the way, and Gao Shun and the others should arrive in the middle of the night tonight.

Shi Xin first sent Jia Xu to inquire about the news, and the rest of the people found a quiet place to rest, preparing to wait for Jia Xu to come back before discussing countermeasures.

Shi Xin remembered that he had met Cai Yan in Julu City, and with tenderness in his heart, he reached out to hold her little hand.

Cai Yan didn't shake him off for the first time, his face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I remembered the days when I spent time with you in the Lingbao Sect in the past, and it has been almost five years in the blink of an eye!"

"Yes, I remember that Yan'er incarnated as Chen Bing and deceived me for two years. ”

Cai Yan pursed his lips and smiled, "I also want to thank Senior Brother, if I hadn't copied your answer, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Lingbao Sect." ”

"Yes, who would have thought that the first talented woman of the Han Dynasty would copy my answer? Now think about it, you owe me too much, and you should compensate for it. ”

"Bad guy, what are you thinking! Go away, there are so many people!"

Cai Yan felt that Shi Xin was thinking about leaning on himself, so he let out a low snort, his face turned red, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Shi Xin smiled, and didn't dare to go too far, so he had to concentrate and calm down and recover his strength.

Jia Xu soon came back, saying that the outside of the Heavenly Master's Mansion was tightly surrounded, and the major generals were monitored separately, and the people inside could not fly. However, the more this is the case, the more it proves that the Heavenly Master Sect is not in danger for the time being. But from the outside, it can be seen that Yuan's army is constantly mobilizing troops and horses, and maybe there will be a big move at night.

Everyone was recuperating, Jia Xu took Shi Xin aside and asked in a low voice, "Lord, do you really plan to save Zhang Jiao?"

As soon as Shi Xin heard Jia Xu's tone, he knew that he had an idea again, so he couldn't help asking, "What does Wenhe mean?"

"I'm worried that if I rescue them to Qingzhou, I won't join our army wholeheartedly. In my opinion, it's better to ......" Jia Xu's face was cold, but he didn't continue, this is his style.

"What does Wen He mean is that they are left to fend for themselves, and we only take their armies?"

"The lord is wise!"

Jia Xu tucked his face into the collar and deeply appreciated Shi Xin's point.

"Well......" Shi Xin didn't think about this problem, but since Jia Xu proposed it, he had to explain his true thoughts to Jia Xu.

There are three reasons why he decided to save the Heavenly Master.

First, I promised Zhang Ning. To tell the truth, Zhang Ning is like his sister, the two have fought side by side a lot, and they have long cultivated a deep relationship, coupled with her relationship with Zhou Tai, Shi Xin had to help her.

Second, in order to fully accept the Heavenly Master Teaching Army. If Zhang Jiao died, Zhang Ning would be the supreme leader of the Heavenly Master Sect Army, but Zhang Ning would not give up on the Jizhou Army and would always take revenge. The final result is very likely that Zhang Ning and the Heavenly Master Sect Army were wiped out by the Jizhou Army, and he returned empty-handed.

Third, Shi Xin wants to find Zhang Jiao and ask what the "curse of Yu Ji" is all about. If this problem is not solved for a day, it is like a thorn in the heart forever, and there will never be peace of mind.

Shi Xin only told Jia Xu the second reason, because he knew that the first reason was simply naïve in Jia Xu's eyes. As for the third reason, Shi Xin couldn't say it clearly, only said that some things had to be asked by Zhang Jiao in person. After asking, what to do with it, I will talk about it later.

After Jia Xu heard this, he reminded Shi Xin again: "Lord, when you finish asking Zhang Jiao, you still can't keep him." If you think about it, he privately raised an army of 20,000 in the east of Julu City, which proves that he is ambitious, and it has always been a scourge to keep such a person in Qingzhou. If the lord feels embarrassed, or if it's not the right time, when I return to Qingzhou, I can think of a way to use poison, and God will solve him without knowing it, and there will be absolutely no trace left. ”

Shi Xin smiled dumbly, Jia Xu really thought thoughtfully for himself.

"Wen He's plan is very good, let's make it so preliminarily!" If you save Zhang Jiao, Jia Xu may be the best way.

When they arrived in the dark, the Eagle brothers came with news that the trapped camp and the 5,000-strong army had reached five miles away from the Heavenly Master Sect military camp, and because they were scattered and marched, the Yuan army did not send scouts, so they were not discovered.

Under the arrangement of Chen Gong, the army will assemble two miles away from the barracks, rest for a while, and give Yuan Jun a thunderous blow at that time, and will withdraw immediately after receiving the Heavenly Master's army.

Shi Xin deeply agreed with Chen Gong's arrangement, and at the same time told them to be careful in everything.

Eight people began to touch the deer. Maybe Yuan Shao was too confident in himself, Julu's city defense was not reinforced, the city gate was wide open, and everyone could enter and exit normally.

Shi Xin and the others were very familiar with the terrain of the Heavenly Master Sect, as the so-called hundred secrets were sparse, they found a hidden place, flew in, and no one found out.

As soon as they entered the Heavenly Master Sect, everyone could see one or several corpses lying outside at intervals, with traces of fighting everywhere and blood spilled on the ground. After a cursory look, the death toll of Yuan Jun and the Heavenly Master Sect was basically the same.

Jia Xu analyzed that the Heavenly Master Sect relied on his familiarity with the terrain to fight like this with the overwhelming advantage of Yuan Jun, which was already very good. It seems that he has fought for his life and has the will to die.

Shi Xin couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart: "Is it too late?"

Looking sideways at Zhang Ning, I saw her biting her lips tightly, tears in her eyes, and from time to time she opened the corpses of the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect to see if there was any life, but she was sad to find that they were all dead.

Shi Xin asked everyone to speed up, and after a while, they touched the outside of the Heavenly Master Sect's main hall.

Although Yuan Shao transferred over were all elites, there were only a few masters, and they were all now gathered in the Heavenly Master Sect Hall at the inner gate, and Shi Xin and the others easily avoided the guards and hid in the dark to look at the door.

The lights in the main hall of the Heavenly Master Sect were brightly lit, and the expressions of everyone in the hall were clearly visible.

On the side of the Heavenly Master Sect, there are acquaintances such as Zhang Jiao's three brothers, Zhang Meiniang, Guan Hai, and Ma Yuanyi, as well as Liao Hua and Zhang Yan, who have met a few times. The rest of the characters like Cheng Zhiyuan, Zhang Mancheng, and Zhang Niujiao are not more than the fifth rank, and they may have been a master when Shi Xin was a child, but now he is out of the law.

Yuan Shao is also a majority of acquaintances here, Tong Yuan Li Yan, Yan Liangwen Chou, Tian Feng Yuan Xi, although Zhang He and Gao Ran have not seen each other, they can be guessed by looking at their bearing.

Although the number of people is superior to the Heavenly Master Sect, in terms of quality, Yuan Shao is too strong, and he is not at the same level at all.

At this time, the Heavenly Master Sect was surrounded in the middle, except for Zhang Jiao, who was still calm, everyone else had a deep sadness on their faces.

There was a trace of blood hanging from his mouth, his face was snow-white, and his clothes were disheveled, obviously after a fierce battle, everyone else had injuries of varying degrees.

And Zhang Meiniang looked at Yuan Xi with an angry face and asked, "Yuan Xi, let me persuade my father to submit to your Yuan army, why did you send a large team of men and horses to besiege you?"

I haven't seen her for almost two years, Zhang Meiniang is even more graceful, although she is angrily questioning Yuan Xi, she has a different flavor.

Yuan Xi was sandwiched between the two groups, his face turned from red to white, "Mei Niang, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I didn't think it would be like this. Father ......" said that he looked at Yuan Shao with a pleading face, and wanted to persuade again.
