After Yun Tianjia finished pranayama, he noticed that the appetizers had entered dormancy and no longer had chills, Luo Erniang was breathing steadily, and she should have passed the dangerous period, so she barely put her mind at ease.

Gong Luoluo was still meditating, so he shouldn't be disturbed, so he got up and pushed the door and went downstairs.

The Ge brothers, Sheng Jiong, and Ding Shuo rushed up and asked, "Is Luo Erniang awake?"

"She's still unconscious, but it shouldn't be too much. Yun Tianjia said: "Are you all okay?"

Everyone said that they were all traumatized, and they just needed to recuperate, and they didn't have to worry.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang said: "Just now, Ji Wenyuan sent someone over twice, please go to the Zhongbao Hall to meet." ”

Yun Tianjia nodded and said, "Ge Zheng, Ge Yi, Sheng Jiong, and Ding Shuo are guarding Luo Erniang here, and everyone else will come with me." But we'll have to wait for Gong Luoluo first. ”

Xiong Zhuang said: "The Soul Sect besieged the city, and it was not easy for us to rush into the earthen fort. Zhong Dinghe, Wang Yuting, and Zen Master Withered Leaves should also arrive in a day or two. With their strength, they can't break in no matter what. If they can't think of it, they also come to the battle, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”

Yun Tianjia said with a smile: "Wang Yuting is shrewd, the withered leaf Zen master is old, Zhong Ding is kind and good, they will not be so reckless." ”

Soon Gong Luoluo also finished meditating.

Everyone came to the hall on the first floor of Zhongbao with Ma Zhenyang to meet with the only three remaining senior officials in Hanyuan County, namely Ji Wenyuan, the head of the soldiers, Sun Mengxuan, the head of the judiciary, and Rang Yongzhi, the head of the household, and there was also a Fu Huo Dao Chief, commonly known as Li Siyun.

After the two sides were introduced, they discussed the siege of Hanyuan County by the Spiritualist Sect.

It turned out that the Spiritualist Sect had been entrenched in two remote counties in the southwest of Hanyuan County in the upper reaches of the Xiang River, controlling all the military and political taxes in the county, and successively killed several county commanders sent by the county to establish themselves.

This matter was reported to the previous newspaper, and the Huazhou government was naturally furious, and repeatedly mobilized the county soldiers to clear up, but there were high mountains and dense forests, steep roads and deep pits, and there was no way to use the troops, and each time there were heavy casualties and returned in vain.

Can't fight it, can't suppress it, Hanyuan County has no choice but to open one eye and close one eye, and the right to these two counties does not exist. Anyway, it wasn't very rich there, and the taxes that they were supposed to bear were just spread among the other counties.

And the Spiritualist Sect is also relatively restrained, except for the two counties that have been occupied, it does not invade other places, although there are occasional unscrupulous disciples who go out to do evil, and the overall is not too out of line.

Therefore, for a long time, the two sides were unexpectedly peaceful.

In recent years, an evil wind has suddenly blown up across the country, traitors are rampant, bandits are rampant, and the Spiritualist Sect can't bear to be lonely, frequently harassing neighboring counties, ** captivity, and doing all kinds of evil.

Zhao Liewen, the previous county guard of Hanyuan County, did not believe in evil, and after taking office, he recruited a large number of village warriors, and united with the superior government army and a part of the Zhaoyao army, and launched two large-scale offensives against the Spiritualist Sect within a year, which effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Spiritualist Sect and suppressed it in a small range.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and two months ago, several bandits rose up at the same time in the neighboring states of Ning, Tong, and Huazhou, attacking the city and seizing land, and the momentum was in full swing.

The Great Victory Pass was lost, the Xianghe defense line was in an emergency, and all the swagger troops were transferred to the front line to defend against the enemy, and the Huazhou army also retreated back to Fucheng. The 8,000 soldiers of Hanyuan County went deep alone, and were attacked by the Spiritualist Sect to break the camp, and in one day, they lost 5,000 soldiers and soldiers, so they had to retreat to the city of Hanyuan County.

Half of the 5,000 soldiers were killed in battle, and the other half surrendered as captives of the Spiritualist Cult.

Zhao Liewen was preparing to reorganize this army, but was assassinated by Lu Zhongyuan, a disciple sent by Wu Yunqing, the master of the Soul Sect.

Hanyuan County was leaderless, and immediately flew to Huazhou Mansion to ask for support from the imperial court.

The affairs of Hanyuan County were very tricky, and the officials pushed back and forth, and finally they were simply divided into three: one was to appoint a new county guard to clean up the people's hearts and manage civil affairs; the second was to appoint new generals, reorganize and surrender the army, defend the city, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack; and the third was to send reinforcements from the Zhaoyao Army in order to attack from inside and outside and annihilate the Soul Conjuring Sect.

The first two, due to He Xiaoduo's active intervention, were all implemented without discount, and the third point, due to the fierce battle at Fengzui Pass, the front line of the Xianghe River, the swagger army did not dare to divide the troops for a while, and was forcibly pressed.

The Spiritualist Sect learned of the information that Huazhou had appointed a new county guard to take up his post, and set up a plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements. Unexpectedly, Wang Yuting and Yun Tianjia came in batches, and Wang Yuting was also a stoic person, so he dragged Yun Tianjia and others to arrive and escaped with his life when there was such a huge disparity in strength.

The ambush failed, the Spiritualist Sect waited left and right, there was no news, so they simply gathered heavy troops and forcibly attacked the city.

The spiritualist priests entered the city and slaughtered and looted without restraint, leaving Yongzhi with a chance to breathe for Ji Wenyuan, the head of the soldiers, Sun Mengxuan, the head of the judiciary, and the head of the household.

On the one hand, they organized men to fight street battles with the Spiritualist Sect, delaying the attack, and on the other hand, they arranged for the soldiers and civilians to retreat into the earthen fort to hold on.

After all, three days before Yun Tianjia arrived at Hanyuan County, Hanyuan County had actually been lost.

Those who participated in the siege of the city were the men and horses of the Three Murderous Sects of the Spiritualist Sect; the ambush reinforcements were the Five Evil Houses and the Dead Gate Disciples Army led by Ouyang Wangqing, the master of the gate; and Monk Jiujie himself sent messages back and forth between the two places.

The disciple of the master of the Xiumen, Wu Yunqing, is specifically responsible for assassinating the enemy chieftain.

The ghost face life Hades that Yun Tianjia and the others encountered when they rushed into battle was the main talisman of the Death Gate, the exorcist blood tumor was the snake Xuanlan, and the red-eyed scorpion with red eyes and ears was the Wounded Door Master Dugu You.

It is rumored that under the hands of the Death Door Rune Human Bone, there are four forces, including the necromancer battalion, the summoner battalion, the beast tamer battalion, and the disciple army, among which the disciple army is the weakest.

Under the Shocking Snake Xuanscale, there are also four forces, namely the exorcist battalion, the crossbow team, the bow and arrow team, and the engineer battalion.

There are seven punishment halls under the Wounded Gate, namely: Soul Hook Hall, Law Whip Hall, Fire Fork Hall, Gun and Knife Hall, Flying Hammer Hall, Iron Staff Hall, and Binding Rope Hall, and their status in the door is quite high.

The Three Fierce Gates joined forces to attack the city, and it was undoubtedly a miracle that Ji Wenyuan, Sun Mengxuan, and Yongzhi were able to hold on to the present with just one earthen fort.

Not to mention anything else, just those powerful ghosts and ghosts under the hands of the living Hades Fu human bones, ordinary people can't deal with them, and the poisonous corpses under the hands of the blood tumor snake Xuanlu are difficult to hurt with knives and guns, and it is extremely difficult to resist.

When Xiong Zhuangzhuang raised this question, Ji Wenyuan, Sun Mengxuan, Rang Yongzhi, and Ma Zhenyang all looked at a Taoist priest with a long beard and a tall crown and a thin face.
