In this world, there are countless stories of loyalty and betrayal happening every day.

It's just that sometimes, it is people who choose fate, and sometimes, it is fate that chooses people.

On the top of a hill not far from the Praruo Corridor, Xu Zhenyan stood in the sunset, looking at the Praruo Corridor not far away, and looking at the side face of his father in front of him.

All Yunqin people know that Jingtian Lake is the most dangerous and beautiful place in the entire Biluo Tomb, and they all know that the Panruo Corridor is the natural boundary between the Yunqin Empire and the ancient Tang and Tibetan Kingdoms, and they all know from many stories and books that the Panruo Corridor at sunset and the endless yellow sand desert behind it are golden and spectacular.

However, in the middle of summer last year, when Xu Zhenyan came to Biluo Mausoleum for the first time, he didn't even have a chance to see Jingtian Lake and the Prajna Corridor.

Because at that time, he was too weak to be qualified to participate in many things.

"Who would have thought that Wenren Cangyue actually didn't hide his ordnance close to his army, but hid it in the Prajna corridor. ”

Xu Tianwang said such a sentence to himself.

Xu Zhenyan saw that the expression on his father's face was still resolute, confident, cold and powerful, but he, who was already very familiar with his father's temperament, knew that his father was already a little worried and had begun to be suspicious.

......

Xu Zhenyan and Xu Tianwang looked at the mountain forest leading to the Prajna Corridor at the foot of the mountain in front of them and the waist-deep barren grass, and the smell of blood and water was everywhere, which was more fishy than the taste of the fish market. Looking down from the high place where they were at the moment, you could see that the mountains and forests were full of dead bodies, some of them were lying on the ground, some of them were hanging from trees, and some of them were torn apart despite their heavy armor, and the scene was very miserable.

More than half of the corpses were Yunqin soldiers wearing Yunqin standard black armor.

The other half were dressed in the most ordinary burlap clothes.

At the moment, the battle continues.

Hundreds of Yunqin soldiers were still fighting in the mountains and wastelands at the foot of the mountain, fighting the enemy who were scattered and hiding, sometimes with the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air, sometimes with the sound of shouts and blood spraying.

The Jiang family is bound to obtain a large number of powerful ordnance and heavy armor hidden in the Biluo Tomb by Wenren Cangyue, so the strength invested by the Jiang family this time is also unprecedented.

Not only a large number of doormen, dead soldiers, and even Xu Tianwang, a figure who played a pivotal role in the Criminal Division, were mobilized to Biluoling, but also used the Jiang family's strength in the military.

Tracking down the henchmen and private hidings of the Wenren Cangyue is itself something that the Criminal Division has to do.

The things that were searched would naturally be transported by the Biluoling military.

Therefore, the Jiang family does not need to prepare a heavy vehicle to Biluoling in advance, but only needs their own people to Biluoling.

Under the arrangement of the Jiang family, from the very beginning, the confessions of those old subordinates who heard the people of Cangyue will be confidential, and in the next military excavation and process, some of the things that the Jiang family really needs will definitely not appear on the books.

The Criminal Division, the military, and some supervisory officials, these three parties, according to reason, can naturally make a matter very transparent, but the existence of the Jiang family can naturally ensure that the results of the three parties' determination are the same.

However, at the moment, although these assassins who intercepted the Jiang family's forces were wearing the most ordinary coarse linen clothes, judging from the fighting methods of these people, everyone could be sure that these people were definitely Yun Qin soldiers, and they were all Yun Qin elite soldiers who were very good at fighting.

This shows that another powerful force has intervened in this matter.

Xu Zhenyan and Xu Tianwang have a total of more than 30 people, and half of these Jiang family members are wearing official uniforms like Xu Tianwang and Xu Zhenyan, and there are figures in their respective positions in the court, and half of them are dead soldiers and cultivators of the Jiang family.

All of them didn't make a move, just watched as calmly as Xu Tianwang as the army fought with the people who intercepted them.

Of course, they knew that with their joining, this kind of battle would end faster, but they also knew that since there was a big force enough to challenge the Jiang family, the real battle was still to come.

......

The sound of arrows in the mountains and in the barren grass, the sound of blades intersecting became more and more rare.

Corpses on the ground, sticky blood everywhere.

The Yun Qin army, dressed in black armor, completely defeated the opponent, from the beginning of the strangulation to the beginning of the orderly search to see if there were any living enemies.

A bloodied cloth-clad assassin stood up from the pile of corpses, and before he could make any more movements, more than a dozen black feather arrows had landed on his body accurately, and the man's body spurted out streams of blood again, and then fell heavily.

After this round of arrows was heard, there was no more sound of arrows and blades clashing, only the sound of footsteps trampling in the bloody water.

Xu Tianwang and all the rest of the Jiang family who had come with a mission began to descend the mountain, through the mountains and forests covered with corpses and blood.

Hundreds of black-armored sergeants and these men who had been covered in blood after a battle had not yet set, entered the Prajna Corridor.

It's a miraculous moat, a huge canyon.

Empty winds blew from the cliffs on either side overhead and on the other side of the canyon as far as the eye could see.

At this end of Biluo Mausoleum, the cliff is covered with green trees and wild grass, and there are many green grasses hanging down on the mountain wall like waterfalls, and there are many small clear springs, seeping out from the cliff, or spraying, or flowing down.

At this end of the Yellow Sand Wasteland, under the blowing of the wind, there is constantly yellow sand, like a real waterfall, sloping down from the cliff.

It's a visually striking contrast.

And in the middle of an empty canyon with no end in sight, anyone will only think that this canyon is a huge road that leads to endless distances, and does not know what kind of place it leads to.

On the cliffs on both sides, there are some extremely weathered grottoes, and some broken stone Buddha statues are located in them, which is even more mysterious.

The sunset was not dark, but in the corridor, it had become obscure, and a low warning voice sounded in the Jiang family's array.

A rider calmly appeared behind them, in the mysterious dim light of the Prajna corridor.

There was blood on the horse's hooves, and the horses paced slowly, moving towards the Jiang family and the army that stopped in the canyon.

Xu Tianwang saw this person's face clearly, saw this person's white hair and white beard clearly, and a look of shock appeared in his cold eyes.

This person with an ethereal figure and a fairy like Ling Ran is Zhang Qiuxuan.

Among these people, Xu Tianwang was not the first person to see clearly who the person who came, nor was he the person with the highest status and status among the people from the Jiang family.

"Zhang Qiuxuan, are you crazy, or is the saint completely crazy?"

An old man in purple clothes with a rickety figure looked at Zhang Qiuxuan, who was no stranger to him, with a cold background, silver hair flying in the wind, and then slowly straightened up.

It seemed that the rickety body that could no longer stand up straight suddenly straightened, just such a simple change, and an indescribable momentum emanated from his body, and it was extremely majestic towards the sky.

This breath is extremely domineering.

It completely exceeds the limits that ordinary practitioners can imagine.

So this can only be a holy teacher.

Zhang Qiuxuan looked at this domineering old man, and said calmly: "Li Zhenshi, you and I have practiced with classmates, and we have read sage books, you should understand that as a minister of Yun Qin, it is a great rebellion to criticize the saint so much. ”

"Looks like you're all crazy. ”

Li Zhenshi looked at Zhang Qiuxuan, his voice was unusually loud, "Don't you know that everything has a limit?"

"The bottom limit?" Zhang Qiuxuan shook his head and said sadly: "I only know that the king's mandate is heaven, and anyone in Yunqin is a saint's courtier and a saint's servant. When did the minions begin to oppose the Son of Heaven and rebuke the Son of Heaven?"

Li Zhenshi was silent for a moment, looked at Zhang Qiuxuan, and said seriously: "You should understand, when did it start." ”

Zhang Qiuxuan's eyes darkened slightly, and said, "So we must change and let this all get back on the right path." ”

Li Zhenshi sneered sarcastically: "No matter what you think, now Yun Qin is already like this, if you want to change, you must pay the price... Su Youji's convoy was robbed by you, and the saint wants to establish his own strength and establish a private army that the outside world does not know, which is understandable, but this kind of method, if you want to uproot a family, whether you admit it or not, it has exceeded the bottom limit. ”

Zhang Qiuxuan looked at Li Zhenshi, was silent for a long time, and said with emotion: "I couldn't argue with you before, and I have always been different from you, and I don't agree with you, so I often accompany you, but you have become a big staff member of the Jiang family, so I just have a few more words with the old people, not to argue with you." ”

"Is it to see me off? The robbery and killing of that Su Youji convoy was to disguise itself as someone who heard the moon and killed us, so it can be said that the person who heard the moon did it. I don't want to argue with you about anything, but I don't understand, why the older you get, the older you are, the same as me that you are about to die, but the more you act?" Li Zhenshi sneered, "The emperor wants to kill his courtiers, but he uses this kind of conspiracy to assassinate, which is indeed too pitiful and ridiculous." ”

"There are only a few people like me and you in Zhongzhou City, and the rest of them will be noticed when they move. If the emperor wants to use such shady means, he can't use those people. Li Zhenshi restrained his sneer, stretched out his finger and pointed at Xu Tianwang: "Now we have two such people, and you only have one, I'm curious, how much foundation has the emperor secretly accumulated over the years, so confident that he can kill us all here?"

There was silence.

All the people on the Jiang family's side have extremely complex emotions in their hearts, or fear, or despair, or sadness, or agitation... Today, one of the nine pillars of Yun Qin was forced to completely stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Zhang Qiuxuan didn't speak again, but in this empty corridor, he looked up at the sky with some inexplicable sadness. (To be continued)
