Chapter Ninety-Five: Soldiers in Troubled Times (1)

At this time, the two brothers of the Golden Dragon and the Golden Tiger were still fighting against Ling Xingnan, and they didn't feel so stunned after listening to Fairy Yin'e's words.

After all, the two of them didn't have the confidence to defeat Ling Xingnan, and after seeing Ling Xingnan's amazing slash just now, they had already left an indelible trace in their hearts, more just shock and admiration!

After the golden dragon and golden tiger glanced at Ling Xingnan deeply, they followed behind Fairy Yin'e. The direction in which the three of them left was a mountain peak on the edge of the Fengluan Basin, and Ling Xingnan also felt puzzled: why didn't they go down to the peak, but went to the peak?

At this time, Shangguan Qiufeng also saw the doubts in Ling Xingnan's heart, so he explained: "Yin'e was originally my senior sister, and she entered the division a few years earlier than me. She is very familiar with the terrain in the valley, the mountain they left is called 'Ascending Heaven Peak', Ascending Heaven Peak is nearly 1,000 zhang high, it is difficult to climb with manpower, but Yin'e must have heterogeneous instruments and ropes that can launch hundreds of zhang away, and the light body skills of the three of them are also excellent, it is not difficult to leave here!"

After listening to Shangguan Qiufeng's explanation, Ling Xingnan's doubts finally dispelled, and he continued: "Old man Shangguan, why did you let them go so easily today? I believe that with the strength of the two of us, we will definitely be able to keep them! Moreover, if the tiger returns to the mountain, it will bring people back with Riyin'e, how should you deal with it?"

Shangguan Qiufeng listened to Ling Xingnan's question, and said with a smile: "Hmph, if they hadn't taken advantage of the absence of my two junior brothers this time, they wouldn't have dared to break in so rashly! Of course, with this accident, I will also let Gu Zhong strengthen his vigilance, and I will also add a few more protective measures to the Ascending Peak, as long as they dare to come again next time, I will definitely not show mercy! Let them go this time, it can be regarded as for the sake of the previous master's affection...... They have made a big comeback from the Evil Blood Palace, and this power is really not so easy to deal with! Forget it, I don't have the competitive and aggressive energy of my youth, but you are now young, and you can take advantage of the chaos in the world to break into the hall of fame! The last time I treated your injuries, I already knew that you were injured by the Demon Sect's 'Burning Heaven and Earth' Wuji True Qi, but fortunately, the true power of the Buddha Sect in your body is thick, and you can temporarily resist the erosion of the true power of the Demon Skill! But it doesn't matter, I only need to cast the Nine Golden Needles Crossing Acupoint Method on you at the last time to straighten out the meridians that have been infiltrated by demonic power, and you can be healed!"

After Ling Xingnan thanked Shangguan Qiufeng, the rest of the Poison God Peerless Stream also arrived one after another.

Subsequently, Shangguan Qiufeng asked people to deal with the two dead bodies lying on the ground, and arranged some aftermath affairs.

Soon, Shangguan Qiufeng led Ling Xingnan to his residence and began to heal.

One day half a month later, the wind was bleak, the rain was sorrowful, and the world was gloomy.

There was a light rain drifting in the air, and the drizzle shot down to the earth like silk, like thousands of beads falling to the ground, and the earth had already been washed into mud.

The sky is cloudy, the ground is muddy, and the heavens and the earth have lost their true colors.

"What the damn weather! It's been raining for more than ten days in a row, and if it doesn't clear up like this, people will get moldy!" said a soldier standing in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, looking at the drizzling sky.

After the soldier said this, several lightning bolts appeared in the dark clouds in mid-air, and soon a rumbling thunder was heard in the air.

"Redbeard, don't curse the heavens and the earth, it's going to rain, the mother is going to get married, it's not for us little minions to manage! If it hadn't rained for ten days or so, those southern barbarians would have already called......," another soldier standing at the door echoed.

"Yes, I heard that those Nanban people have gathered 300,000 troops on the front line of the border, and I heard that this time it is still the Nanban King who plans to personally lead the troops here? It looks like a big battle is really going to be fought...... Hey......" The soldier known as Redbeard sighed deeply.

"Alas, our entire Xichuan Mansion is less than 100,000 troops, I really don't know how to fight this battle? This time, Nanzhao sent another 300,000 troops, and I also heard that the Nanban army is strong and strong, among which there are many capable people, and there is no lack of capable people who can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and the masters of the beans into soldiers...... another soldier sighed.

"Ming Sanwa, forget it, if there are really so many capable people in the Nanban army, and they will fly to the sky and scatter beans into soldiers, why don't they just fall from the sky and rush over? Isn't this just a few days of rain? Why are they stationed on the front line of the border and don't dare to act rashly? I said you, don't spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army, be careful that the commander knows about it, escort you to the law enforcement department in the army, and beat you with a hundred shawei sticks!" Redbeard said.

"What, I'm not disturbing the morale of the army! I also listened to some people in the army...... By the way, I also heard that Princess Pinglan of our Tang Dynasty court also came to our Xichuan Mansion to sit down, and the princess also invited many heroes and knights who are famous in the world to come to defend the city, and her master 'Shendao Feiyan' and his wife also came......" The soldier who was called Ming Sanwa by Redbeard looked around, deliberately lowered his voice and sighed softly.

Redbeard listened to Ming Sanwa's deliberately low-pitched voice, and secretly said in surprise: "Ah, there is a princess who has come to sit in town? Even her master 'Divine Sword Feiyan' has come?

Ming Sanwa said with a smile: "Yes, who doesn't know that Gong Feiyan, the master of Princess Lu Dao, and Lai Jingjiu of the Divine Sword Lai family are the two masters of today's righteous path, 'light and small'...... Hehe, according to my estimate, this time with them in our Xichuan Mansion, they can at least defeat the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Nanban battalion!"

Just as Redbeard and Ming Sanwa were talking to each other, they saw several flying horses galloping in the rain curtain in the distance, and the galloping sound of the horses was rapid and powerful, far more imposing than ordinary horses.

In just a dozen breaths, the distance of hundreds of zhang was almost close in an instant.

A tall horse, a spear general.

Horses are war horses, and people are soldiers.

When they got closer, Redbeard and Ming Sanwa finally saw who were sitting on the five tall horses, wearing hats, armor, spears, and swords hanging from their waists.

"General Long, General Ma, General Wang, General Wu, General Lu......"

Unexpectedly, the five generals of the Nishikawa shogunate came at once, and the two guards of the marshal's mansion, Redbeard and Ming Sanwa, couldn't help but panic when they saw the five generals arrive at the same time.

By the time the five generals rode their horses and galloped near, they were so respectful that they knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Quickly pass the big hand, and say that I will wait for the five people to arrive!" General Long, who rushed first, waved his hand and said in a majestic voice.

When Redbeard heard this, he really agreed, and then pushed open the vermilion lacquer gate of the Shuai Mansion and ran towards the inside.

Soon, five soldiers from the Marshal's Mansion came out to lead the horses of the five generals, took over the weapons, and welcomed the five generals into the Marshal's Mansion......

Xichuan Marshal Mansion, Inspector Hall.

It has always been the place where the marshal of the Marshal Xichuan officially met with the lieutenant generals of the army, and the generals and commanders here are mostly together to discuss important military affairs and draw up operational plans in the army. Therefore, the Shuaifu General Hall is often heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, and it is surrounded everywhere like an iron wall.

Now the five generals have just arrived outside the inspection hall, and they have sensed a kind of majestic and solemn meaning, three steps in front of the hall and one pawn in the back of the hall, five steps and one post, swords and soldiers are lined up, and they are waiting for them strictly.

"Five generals, get to ......" As soon as the five generals arrived outside the inspection hall, a chief of guard in front of the inspection hall shouted loudly.

At this point, the five generals did not stop at all, and all walked quickly towards the hall of the inspectors.

As soon as they entered the inspection hall, the five generals found that there were more than a dozen people standing or sitting in the hall, among them was Princess Pinglan, who was dressed in white, and on the right was Gao Yu, the envoy of Xichuan Mansion (that is, the generalissimo of Xichuan Mansion), the general Gao Dabai, and Master Liu of the Shuaifu...... And the people sitting on the left side of Princess Pinglan were Lai Jingjiu, Gong Feiyan, and Feng Shuai.

"The last general will wait to see the princess, the marshal, and all the lords!" the five generals entered the hall and saluted together.

"The five generals have worked tirelessly, and they were summoned by Gao in the rain to the Shuaifu, which is really hard! Everyone, please take a seat......" Jie Du made Gao Biao see the arrival of the five generals, although his face was gloomy, he still squeezed out a smile and said.

At this time, Princess Pinglan also waved her hand and motioned for the generals to take their seats.

"Master Gao, time is running out right now. I would like to ask you to tell us about the current military situation and the current situation. At that time, we will also come up with a foolproof plan!" said Princess Pinglan very dryly.

At this time, two tall and sturdy men came out of the hall, revealing a map of Xichuan's military coordination on the wall of the hall that was hidden by a curtain.

Hearing this, Gao Biao really stood up and said in a loud voice: "I believe that you are already more clear about the current grim situation in Xichuan, this time the king of Nanzhao, Long Shun, actually personally ordered 300,000 troops to rush towards the land of Xichuan on the border of my Tang Dynasty. It is now the rainy season, and if it were not for the heavy rain that lasted for more than ten days, I am afraid that the two countries would have already started a war; the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao Kingdom have now gathered on the border line, and it is hoped that as soon as the rain stops, the southern barbarian soldiers will immediately attack. Ladies and gentlemen, all the soldiers and horses of our Xichuan Prefecture together are only 100,000 people, and the strength of the enemy and us is quite different, and although many heroes and heroes and ordinary people have spontaneously come to help, it is really unpredictable whether the two armies will win or lose! For the sake of today's plan, this commander believes that the only way to defend the city with strong troops and to retreat from the enemy with strategy is the best policy! Next, I hope that you will speak widely, pool your wisdom and efforts, and we will jointly discuss a good way. ”

After listening to what Gao Yu said, everyone in the prosecutor's hall fell silent for a while.
