In the General Soldier's Mansion, Liu Yi sat leisurely on his chair, squinted at Liu Xiao who was standing on the side, and said, "Brother Xiao, what are you looking for me?"

Liu Xiao smiled: "Congratulations to Brother Yi." ”

Liu Yi said indifferently: "Hey, the kid actually came with me to do this, do you want me to congratulate you too?"

Liu Xiao said with a hippie smile: "That's not necessary." Brother Yi, can you let the younger brother see the knowledge?"

Liu Yi said: "It's not a big thing, it's just a string of South China Sea shark beads." Then put a string of pearls as clear as a pigeon's egg on the table.

Liu Xiao's eyes flashed with greed: "It seems that my brother-in-law's batch of goods is very expensive, otherwise the Mao family would not have invested so much." ”

Liu Yi glared at him and said, "How many times have I told you, don't call that guy my brother-in-law in front of me." Don't think he has any good intentions with you, huh!"

Liu Xiao hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Yi." ”

Liu Yi glanced at him and said, "What about yours?"

Liu Xiao showed a smug face, took out a pearl the size of a walnut, and couldn't help but be modest in his mouth: "The size is okay, but it's a little less." ”

Liu Yi sneered: "The East China Sea mussel bead is so big, it's not bad." ”

Liu Xiao heard the disdain in Liu Yi's tone: "Brother Yi, this bead is not good." ”

Liu Yi sneered: "Okay, of course it's good." But I'm used to the cheesiness that you haven't seen in the world. When you see that your beads are bigger than mine, you think that my shark beads are more precious than your mussel beads in strings? Let me teach you ,......" Suddenly his face changed: "What's the matter?"

At this time, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the door, and a voice came: "Lord Commander, the spies in the west of the city are burning smoke to warn, and the enemy has been found ten miles away." ”

Liu Yi jumped up, grabbed a pair of iron halberds leaning behind the chair with his right hand, took the string of South China Sea shark beads with his left hand, and walked out. Liu Xiao hurriedly took the pearl back into his arms and followed.

Liu Yi led Liu Xiao, Jiao Ze and more than a dozen relatives to ride out of the city like a gallop.

Looking at their backs disappearing outside the city gate, Yang Fangying said to Peng Dafeng with a melancholy face: "Brother Peng, it seems that this place is not suitable for a long time. ”

Peng Dafeng nodded and said: "Yes, looking at Liu Yi's urgency, most of them are people from the court or other righteous people who rebelled against Yuan Chengyi." If it is the former, there is a risk that our identity will be revealed, and if it is the latter, when Liu Yi returns to the city, I am afraid that we will strengthen our guards and will not let people leave at will. If you want to go, go now. With that, he turned around and walked towards the east gate of Huxiang Pass.

Yang Fangying followed: "Brother Peng, if Liu Yi goes to hunt down the righteous people who rebelled against Yuan Chengyi, how can we stand idly by. ”

Peng Dafeng sighed: "We ourselves are already mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and there are so many things that can be managed. Mr. Xia is as kind to the old man as a mountain, everything the old man has done, all of which is concerned about the safety of the second lady,—— green @ color # small ¥ said & net ——, this real person can't help you?" After a while, the ground began to shake, and the sound of galloping hooves of thousands of horses could be heard in the distance, and at the same time, the ghost sound in the air became even more terrible, and many ghost nets with red suckers floated in.

Yi Tianxing said: "Everyone be careful, these Red Star Ghost Networks contain corpse poison, and the speed is faster than ordinary ghost networks. ”

At this time, Mu Yuelian said happily: "I found it, the mist array, the left path of the small technique, with the evil spell to force out the underground filthy qi to form a thick fog, supplemented by illusion, so that people can't distinguish the real scene and virtual realm, lose their way, and can't get out." It can be broken by the true fire of the sun. ”

Xia Yuying sighed: "We don't know how to use spells, where do we go to find what sun true fire?

Yi Tianxing and Yi Fenghan looked at each other and smiled, Yi Tianxing said: "Damn, let's talk about it earlier." ”

Yi Fenghan patted Gu Mengya's shoulder and said, "Third child, it's up to you." ”

Gu Mengya was lucky and said in a deep voice: "Come on." ”

With a bang, Yi Tianxing and Yi Fenghan coincidentally slammed into the Gu Mengya Lingtai acupoint. Gu Mengya's eyes were red, he roared wildly, pointed his left hand on his right arm, and then raised it outward, and a flash of fire came out with his finger, turning into a fire dragon and flying away. The fire dragon rushed into the thick fog, and the mist melted in an instant like snow falling into boiling water, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became clear, revealing more than a dozen Taoist people with frightened faces.

Qiang Yu aimed at the edict in the hand of the middle-aged Taoist, and with a wave of his hand, four emerald green rays of light shot out. There was a crackling sound, and the four edicts in the man's hand were shattered. The ghost net and the Red Star ghost net surrounding Yi Tianxing and the others immediately drifted around as if they were out of control, attacking the nearest person. Seeing this, the Daoists let out a frightened scream and began to flee in all directions.

Xia Yuying watched those Taoists being chased by the evil beasts she raised, her heart was happy, she turned her head and was about to praise Gu Mengya, but she saw Gu Mengya and Yi Fenghan leaning against the trees next to them and sitting on the ground, although Yi Tianxing was riding on a horse, his face was pale, and he looked like he was about to fall down at any time, and he was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"

At this time, the sound of hooves is getting closer and closer, and the shaking of the ground is becoming more and more violent. Yi Tianxing reluctantly replied: "Hurry up, there are two more powerful things coming this way." ”

Bai Jiugao interjected: "Qiang Sanbo has already smashed the magic weapon of the Demon Dao, don't worry." ”

Bai Qing angrily reprimanded: "Fool, now that those evil beasts are out of control, they will pounce on people when they see them, and they are even more threatening to us." You're so old that you don't think more than a child!"

Bai Jiugao blushed and didn't dare to say more.

Gu Xinjian hugged Yi Tianxing and said, "But you are like Feng Han and Mengya, how do you go?"

Yi Tianxing said with difficulty: "Just now, in order to perform... The old three can't reach it... Fire Dragon Jue, the two of them... True Element Consumption... It's too big, only troublesome four cousins... And the Nine Heavenly Brothers... They broke through on their backs. I... I can still hold on, everyone... Come on. It's too late... Not as well. ”

Gu Xin gritted his teeth, pulled Yi Fenghan onto the horse, and shot his gaze towards Yan Jiutian. Yan Jiutian smiled bitterly, pulled Gu Mengya behind him, and tore his clothes to tie him to his back. Yi Tianxing clamped his legs, and the horse under his crotch galloped up and rushed towards the outside of the forest. Gu Xinjian was afraid that he would lose, so he followed. The rest of the people followed.

didn't run far, and many small mounds suddenly arched on the ground, and the mounts of Yi Tianxing and the others stood up one after another, hissing. Yan Jiutian slapped his waist, and the finger-circling red sword turned into a red practice and hit the mound in front of him, a terrible scream sounded, and a scorpion shaped like a pipa, as big as a pu fan, and with a dark green body was strung on the finger-circling red sword, and his body was already pierced, as if he was dancing with his teeth and claws, and it was extremely hideous.

Yi Tianxing said: "Everyone... Be careful!" Mu Yuelian stretched out her hand to put it on his shoulder, Yi Tianxing felt a feminine and long true qi flowing into his meridians, his whole body was like a clear spring, indescribably comfortable, his spirit was greatly lifted, and he continued: "It is a ground piercing scorpion, the carapace is very hard, and unusual weapons can pierce it, and it is good at penetrating the ground and drilling mountains, and it suddenly bursts out from the ground and hurts people, which is extremely poisonous." Disperse, everyone, don't gather together!"

When the crowd heard this, they immediately dispersed.

The mounds cracked one after another, and countless ground-piercing scorpions bounced up and attacked everyone. There were a few screams behind everyone, thinking that those demons were injured by poison. Then there were two descendants of the Eight Heavenly Kings of Red Thunder, whose precautions were slightly exposed, one was stung by a scorpion piercing the ground, and without snorting, he fell off his horse, and the other was pounced on the door by the Red Star Ghost Net, screaming and hiding his face and falling to the ground. Xia Yuying was waiting to be rescued, but saw the floating red star ghost nets and ghost nets surging up like a swarm of flies, drowning the two of them along with their mounts, and in the blink of an eye, they flew up again, and the two of them and the horses had been sucked into dry corpses. Xia Yuying's eyes were cracked, and in the angry shouts, two thunderbolts flew out and hit the place where the mound in front of them was concentrated, two serial loud sounds, countless fragmented ground-piercing scorpions, red star ghost nets and ghost nets flew everywhere, and the surviving red star ghost nets and ghost nets felt threatened, and they scattered one after another, opening a way for a while, Yi Tianxing and others hurriedly rode their horses and galloped rapidly, but the ground-piercing scorpion was not afraid of death, although the casualties were heavy, they still came from all directions, and soon everyone fell into a state of entanglement. At this time, a group of monsters shaped like bison, with red eyes and black hooves, purple bodies and blue horns, appeared in the eyes of Yi Tianxing and the others, holding up the double horns flashing with blue electric fire, and rushed over violently.

Yi Tianxing's face changed greatly: "Purple Electric Demon Cow!"

Gu Jie galloped all the way to Huxiang Pass. When he arrived at Huxiang Pass, he used his full eyesight to look at the gate of Huxiang Pass, and found that Qiu Tianjian and his party were slowly entering the city, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Generals, slow down!"

When Qiu Tianjian and the others heard the call, they all reined in and watched, and found that it was Gu Jie's arrival, and they knew that there was something important, so Wu Yunniang rushed out of the city first and greeted Gu Jie. The others then galloped out of the city.

Wu Yunniang stopped Gu Jie and said, "Didn't you return to Beijing with Pan Qiao, why did you come so quickly?"

Gu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a hoarse voice: "I and Brother Pan escorted the bodies of my brother and the four strong men of Lu, Jiao, Zheng, and Mi back to Rong, and met the herald of the Criminal Department on the way, and ordered the former Western Praetorian Guard to arrest the generals Huo Zhongxing, Yang Fangying, and Shou Qianxun. These three traitors were known for their bravery in Ba County, and I feared that they would intercept the herald, so I consulted with Brother Pan that he would escort the corpse back to Rong alone, while I would protect the herald and inform the generals. ”

At this time, the team rushed to Gu Jie, and Du Wenqi threw him a bag of water and said, "Take a breath and talk about it." ”

Gu Jie took the water bladder and drank it heartily, and then Du Wenqi asked, "What about the herald?"

Gu Jie wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I thought he was running slowly, so I came to inform everyone first, and he arrived with the paperwork." ”

Du Wenqi frowned and said, "Then what should I do if he is intercepted?"

Gu Jie smiled: "I have already passed the news here, and it doesn't matter if he lives or dies." ”

Liu Xiao sneered: "Then what kind of decree does the imperial court want to promulgate? Just find someone to pass the word on." ”

Jiao Ze tugged at the corner of Helian Shayi: "Helian Zhuguo, is this person reliable?"

Heliansha said: "I don't know. ”

Kakuzawa and Heliansha were both born with loud voices, although they lowered their voices, the others could still hear them clearly, and their actions were more like deliberate tricks, which embarrassed Gu Jie, and everyone couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.

Gu Jie's lungs were about to explode, and he said loudly: "If Gu Jie has half a lie, I will be in a different place!"

Qiu Tianjian said coldly: "I believe in him, the Bashan Gu family has a great cause, and he will not dare to rebel." After that, his eyes shot at Liu Yi, whose face was uncertain: "General Liu, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Yi was in a hurry, knowing that Qiu Tianjian saw that he had something on his mind, so he had to say in a hurry: "Two days ago, Huo, Yang, and Shou, together with seven of the Eight Heavenly Kings of Red Thunder, arrived at Benguan with a small team of men and horses, saying that they had come to help us arrest the traitors. ”

Liu Xin said angrily: "Bastard, what do they say, how do you believe it?"

Liu Yi pleaded: "In addition to the wanted documents of the Criminal Department, they also showed me the appointment letter of the acting commander of the Western Praetorian Guard, which has the seal of the acting commander of the Western Praetorian Guard, which is absolutely not wrong." ”

Gu Jie said: "It may be that Chao Chang'an stole the inkless seal to help them escape." ”

Liu Yi said loudly: "It's nonsense, General Chao Xiao is the emperor's confidant, how can he do such a thing." ”

Gu Jie said: "I don't know, it was the herald who said it." By the way, he also said that the Eight Heavenly Kings of Red Thunder led the soldiers to rebel. ”

Liu Yi said angrily: "It's even more nonsense, I was with Peng Dafeng in the Eight Heavenly Kings of Red Thunder just now." ”

Qiu Tianjian said coldly: "In this case, let's go to the city and take down Peng Dafeng and the others first." The others did not disagree, so everyone rode their horses and galloped into Huxiang Pass.

When he arrived at Huxiang Pass, Liu Yi immediately shouted: "Quickly call Peng Dafeng and Yang Fangying out!"

Li Wan stepped forward and replied, "General Yang Xiao and Peng Jinwei have already left the city. ”

Liu Yi's vest was cold, he scolded secretly, and said hurriedly: "How long have you been escaping? Why didn't you stop them?"

Li Wan said slowly: "The two of them said that the ghost hit the wall and there was an abnormal movement, so they went to see what was going on." How do you want to run away?"

Liu Yi said angrily: "The ghost hit the wall?! I see you just hit the ghost!"

Liu Xin shouted angrily: "If you don't make a mistake, don't take your anger out on others, you should reflect on yourself." Even if there is a seal without ink, the Eight Heavenly Kings of Red Thunder are subordinate to the Eastern Praetorian Guard, how can the acting commander of the Western Praetorian Guard mobilize them, are you not suspicious?"

Liu Xiao suddenly interjected: "They are on official business, and they are still carrying children, in fact, I have long suspected them." ”

Liu Yi was furious, and his backhand was a slap: "Damn, you didn't say it earlier!

Wu Yunniang said: "The two of them shouldn't have gone far, we have time to catch up now." ”

Liu Xin said angrily: "Liu Yi! Didn't you say that there were a lot of people in their group? What about the others? If you still have something to explain, hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, if I know, don't blame me for not missing brotherhood!"

Liu Yi was so frightened that he couldn't help sweating, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Among their group, only Peng Dafeng and Yang Fangying stayed in the city, and the rest said that they had a secret decree to bring to the clan master, and they passed the customs on the same day." In addition, I let a few merchants go through the customs this morning. His voice paused, then he raised his head and said, "But they are real businessmen, not only do they have a solid voice, but they also have a lot of treasures. ”

Liu Xin clenched his fists and rattled: "How do you know that people are carrying heavy treasures? In such an extraordinary period, you still don't change your stubborn nature!"

Liu Yi's body trembled, took out the string of South China Sea shark beads from his arms, and said pitifully: "Brother Xin, save me." ”

Liu Xin glanced at it and sneered: "It's just a series of defective products, are you worth it for it?"

Liu Yi was puzzled: "I've seen it, it's indeed a South China Sea shark pearl, not a defective product." ”

Liu Xin was furious: "There are seventeen kinds of mermaids in the world, their tears will turn into pearls when they land, but their functions are different, the most common in the South China Sea is the weeping pearl merman, this kind of merman has no other strength, it is the shortest lifespan, the lowest intelligence, and the weakest race among the mermen, and the other mermaids have more or less special functions, but the shark beads turned into tears of the weeping beads do not, that is, the kind in your hands." This thing is good for nothing but to sell for some money. Are you very short of money?! Not to mention that no matter how precious the treasure is, is your life precious? I don't know what to do!"

Liu Yi stood there, not daring to come out.

Wan Gui didn't think he could do anything, and ran up to play a round: "Liu Zhuguo, Liu Zongbing is actually just a moment of confusion, why should you be angry." ”

Liu Xin snorted coldly: "I teach my clan brother a lesson, but it's not your turn to intervene." ”

Liu Yi was also angry, glaring at him viciously, and seeing that his heart was furious.

At this time, Tong Wuxian rushed over, Liu Yi seemed to see a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Vice General Tong is coming, I will introduce you to the generals." ”

Tong Wuxian arched his hand and said: "Please forgive me for being rude, something strange happened in the east of the city." ”

Liu Yi's heart tightened: "Say it quickly!"

Tong Wuxian said: "Now that the time is approaching, the ghost hitting the wall is still thick fog, and there was a fire just now, so I asked for an investigation." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Jiao Ze said: "Could it be that Yang and Peng really went to check the situation of the ghost hitting the wall?"

Gu Jie sneered: "It's just a coincidence, Peng Dafeng and Yang Fangying, the two rebels, must have escaped at the opportunity." ”

Kakuzawa said angrily: "Why do you believe the words of this pariah. ”

Gu Jie's face turned white, his hand held the hilt of the sword, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Du Wenqi smiled leisurely: "Don't fight, let's go and see what's going on, the traitor party can't escape our palms." ”

Liu Yi hurriedly ordered Jiao Ze and Tong Wuxian to mobilize the men and horses of the left and right battalions in the city, and said: "The generals have worked hard from afar, so let's take a rest, and the investigation of the ghost hitting the wall will be handed over to the humble post." I will bring Yang and Peng to you and make things clear. ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "No, let's go together." This time the pursuit of the rebel party, everything did not go well. In the Fallen Horse Mountain, not only did we fail to get the reincarnation gun and present it to the emperor, but we also lost five masters recruited by the emperor, and it was difficult for us to explain to the emperor. Along the way, he repeatedly missed the opportunity, except for Chang Zhuguo, who killed the child Gongsun Yunxuan, the others did not capture any enemy until they arrived at Huxiang Pass. Today, I finally found the two brothers Yuan Shiying and Yuan Shixiong, but I ran into the demon monk of the Beginningless Venerable again, and actually rescued the two in front of us. Although Chang Zhuguo chased after him, no one came to his aid, and with his own strength, it was not easy to deal with the Beginningless Venerable. What's more, the Venerable Beginningless will definitely flee to his lair, and at that time, there will be many powerful others, and I am afraid that Chang Zhuguo will not only not be able to please him, but will suffer a loss. If we don't do anything, how can we go back to Beijing and face the saint, do you want to tell the emperor that we can't even catch a few rebels? Not to mention that there are so many children in the rebel party!"

Gu Jie was stunned for a moment, of course he didn't expect this to be the case, he was not surprised in his heart, and said in his heart: "Count you unlucky." Since you have not achieved an inch, and now that the enemy is on the trail, as long as I can kill one or two traitors, it will be a great achievement, hey, it is really timely. Then he said, "Then let's go." ”

Liu Yi said: "Brother Xin, let's wait for the army to gather together." You know the area around the ghost hitting the wall, so be careful. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he was silent.

Wu Tai smiled: "What's wrong with the ghost hitting the wall?"

Liu Xin frowned and said: "The ghost hitting the wall is just a forest, but because a demon died there a hundred years ago, and then some fools and fools thought that there were demons in the forest, so the murder is famous." But whether the rumors are true or not, no one can tell. ”

Hu Jing clasped his hands and said: "Poor Dao is willing to clear the general's doubts. After that, he closed his eyes, pinched the trick with his left hand, pointed to the direction of the ghost hitting the wall with his right hand, and said something in his mouth, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said: "There are indeed demons in the forest, and the spell is not weak, and the magic actually cut off my connection with the ghost envoy, so that I can't find out the truth." ”

Lu Huaichen sneered and sneered: "Pretend to be a ghost." ”

Hu Jing glared angrily and remained silent.

Liu Xiao stepped forward and said: "Brother Xin, if there are children in the rebel party, then they will definitely not pass the test, we just need to strictly guard our posts, we are not afraid that they will escape, and then we can go to find their hiding place in a good time." Peng, Yang and those merchants have just left, and they will never be able to escape the pursuit of our Huxiangguan Iron Cavalry, so there is no need to worry. Peng and Yang's henchmen have gone far away, and we can't reach them, but we only need to inform the clan lord that unless they can fly away, no one can evade our Liu family's arrest in Yao County. ”

Wu Taidao: "How does Vice General Liu know that there are no children among the people who go out?"

Liu Xiao said with a smile: "Although there are children among the people who have passed the customs, they are the children of Peng Dafeng and others, and it is still inconclusive whether they have betrayed the party." As for those businessmen, even if they are traitors to the party, the children's figure will definitely not be so tall. ”

Wu Sheng said in a gloomy tone: "I have seen Gu Yan's son, although he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, his figure is already similar to that of an adult, and he can pretend to be an adult if he is a little more disguised." If the other children are the same, the adjutant general's inference may not be appropriate. ”

Liu Xiao was about to argue, and Li Wan continued: "And as far as I know, the superior disguise technique can change a person's figure. ”

Liu Xiao pointed at Li Wan and said angrily: "You fucking checked those businessmen, why didn't you say it at the time!"

Li Wan showed an innocent expression: "I said at the time that I only heard about some disguise techniques, but I couldn't see through them, and I wasn't sure whether they were disguised or not." At that time, since I didn't find any traces of their disguise, I naturally had to tell the chief soldier the truth and couldn't just talk nonsense and wronged them. ”

Liu Xiao's face turned red and he couldn't speak.

Liu Xin glanced at Li Wan coldly, and then said slowly: "Liu Xiao, you are too angry. As the deputy general of Huxiangguan, regardless of whether those people have betrayed the party or not, you should stop them and prevent them from passing the pass. And such a big person, you have to think twice in the future, don't talk about it, and make people laugh in vain. Don't hurry up and notify the clan leader and intercept Peng and Yang's accomplices. ”

Liu Xiao heard Liu Xin call him by his name, and Liu Xin was already very dissatisfied with himself in his heart, unwilling to be commensurate with his brother, so he was so shocked that he didn't dare to reply, and immediately turned around to find a pen and paper pigeon and wrote a letter to Liu Zong.

At this time, Tong Wuxian rushed to the city, hugged his fists and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers of the left and right battalions have been assembled in the east of the city, and they can set off at any time. ”

Liu Yi secretly glanced at Liu Xin, and saw that he had a gloomy face and said nothing, so he had to give an order with the courage to speak: "Deputy General Li, you lead the front and rear two battalions of soldiers to defend the city." Vice General Liu, Vice General Tong, and Deputy General Jiao, you lead the soldiers of the left and right battalions to march with me and hit the wall!
