Xiao Shangyuan was still a little hesitant: "What if the rebel saint launches a surprise attack when the national teacher breaks the formation?" ”

"Your Highness, you should remember that before we set out on the expedition, Your Majesty told us to attack the city with all our might, and spare no effort to eliminate as many living forces under Gu Yi's command as possible.

"Your Majesty said that he will keep a close eye on the battle situation in the northwest in the capital.

"I think that if an accident happens, Your Majesty may come to the battlefield in the form of a projection, as he did many years ago."

Fan Cheng pondered for a moment and replied.

Xiao Shangyuan knew that the "many years ago" in Fan Cheng's mouth meant that after the first assistant Lu Huan committed treason and fled to the Lu family's old mansion in Qingzhou, he was captured by Emperor Tianxing and returned to the capital and sentenced to death.

At that time, Emperor Tianxing appeared in the sky above Qingzhou in the form of a projection, easily disintegrating all the means of resistance prepared by Lu Huan.

As the descendants of the Flying Immortals, the ancient family was completely vulnerable in front of the Tianxing Emperor.

Perhaps it was because during the many years of retreat, I had a new understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

After Emperor Tianxing came out of the deep palace this time, Xiao Shangyuan clearly felt that his father was more majestic and oppressive than in the past - he no longer looked like a mortal with flesh and blood, but seemed to have become a god who looked down on all beings and regarded all things as dogs.

It seems that the distance between the emperor and the way of heaven is closer, and the distance between him and his children is even farther away.

A few months ago, Emperor Tianxing was able to use a golden thunderbolt to severely injure Zhao Changying, who was the True Monarch of the Eighth Realm, and almost wiped out his soul.

So now, he wants to take control of this group of rebels in the Northwest Frontier, it should be no problem, right?

"Then Mr. Fan, just do as you say," Xiao Shangyuan thought as he instructed Fan Cheng, "Please go and inform the national teacher for me, this matter must be solved by him." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Fan Cheng bowed and retired.

Maybe it's because he almost died on the top of Yishan Mountain and became a sacrifice for the promotion of the Ghost King of the Kongxuansan people; Or maybe it was in Qingyao Mountain, letting Gu Xu escape from the palm of his hand.

Now Fan Cheng can feel that Xiao Shangyuan is no longer the reckless young man who dared to go up to Yishan Mountain to find trouble with the Snow Girl with an entourage. The successive setbacks made him less motivated and made him more stable and cautious.

…………

Xiao Shangyuan was nervous about the battle situation, and Zhao Yan was also nervous.

When the "Golden Dragon Battle Array" of the Great Qi Army hit the protective array of the six cities in the northwest again and again, her mood couldn't help but rise to her throat.

This great array of city protection was undoubtedly completed by Gu Xu's hand with the assistance of Luo Chuan, Xu Man and Zhao Changying.

When Gu Xu designed this large array, on the basis of the conventional defensive formation, he borrowed from the famous Luojing City Tianlong Great Array.

The Heavenly Dragon Great Array is located on the Great Wilderness Dragon Vein, which can gather the fortune of the whole country and be used by one person.

There is no dragon vein in Liangzhou City, and Gu Xu can't borrow the national fortune like Emperor Tianxing, so he can only choose the wool of the Heavenly Dao.

"As long as the Great Qi National Master and Emperor Tianxing don't make a move, this formation can stop the Qi army outside for at least six days and six nights." When Gu Xu finished arranging the formation, he once said confidently.

At that time, as soon as Gu Xu's words fell, Luo Chuan immediately complimented him without thinking: "The emperor's talisman attainments are the best in the world. Compared with the emperor's exquisite design, the Taishang Haotian Heavenly Dragon Array was simply step-by-step, without spirituality, and it was not worth mentioning at all. ”

Since Gu Xu walked down Kunlun Mountain, Luochuan's sycophants have become more and more exaggerated day by day, and there are more and more tricks day by day.

At first, Gu Xu felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, but in order to play the role of Emperor Ziwei, he had to pretend to be indifferent; However, as time went by, he seemed to gradually get used to Luo Chuan's praise, and even had some enjoyment in his heart. This made Gu Xu sincerely sigh that power will indeed change a person imperceptibly.

And at this moment, just as Gu Xu expected, the city protection array formed an impregnable line of defense, blocking the enemy who was several times his own.

With the extremely strong observation power of the Sixth Realm cultivator, Zhao Yan saw from a distance that the commander on the high platform in the center of the army opposite had a helpless expression on his face.

Immediately afterward, she saw the small and dark-skinned Great Qi National Teacher walking to the high platform—the National Teacher frowned, holding paper and charcoal in his hand, and kept writing and drawing, looking like he was doing complex deductions.

The national teacher made a move to break the formation, which was obviously also expected by Gu Xu.

"I used the mysteries of the Great Dao to arrange a lot of complex illusions in the formation," Gu Xu also showed a sly smile when arranging the formation, and said, "Ordinary array mages may not be easily fooled, but the sage powerhouses who have a preliminary insight into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will quickly be attracted by the illusions of the Universal Star Dou, the Line of Cause and Effect, the Long River of Fate, and the Ruins of the East China Sea."

"The higher the realm, the more difficult it is for a monk to resist the temptation of high-level Dao knowledge.

"If nothing else, it will take at least three days and three nights for the national teacher to crack this formation."

…………

The national teacher has indeed been immersed in the world of Taoism.

When his divine consciousness flew out of his body and tried to explore this defensive array, he saw a vast black canopy, and countless stars shone in it, like eternal candles and unquenchable lights, witnessing the vicissitudes of the world.

In this vast universe, there seem to be countless invisible threads, one end connected to the stars in the sky, and the other connected to the mortals on the earth. The stars in the sky seem to be vaguely related to the blessings and misfortunes in the world.

The national teacher could see it for a while, and couldn't help but plunge headlong into the boundless sea of stars.

The surrounding scenery instantly distorted as if disillusioned.

The space itself seems to melt into a vortex of nothingness, distorting all normal geometric forms; The stars were no exception, their original brilliant light flickering in the distorted space, but it was not a steady flicker, but a rapid trembling, like ripples on the surface of the lake, as if they were also trying to break free from this twisted void.

A strong sense of dizziness swept through the national teacher's sea of knowledge.

His senses were distorted, and so was his mind.

In his perception, the entire universe seemed to be a spinning top.

He exclaimed, and his consciousness returned to the real world.

"National teacher, are you okay?" Xiao Shangyuan, who was next to him, saw the strange expression on the face of the national teacher, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

As the commander of the vanguard of the Qi army, he was more afraid than anyone that the national division would have an accident in the process of cracking the formation.

Not because he had a good relationship with the national teacher, nor because he respected his elders, but because he was worried that it would affect his competition for the throne.

Like many princes and daughters of the Great Qi Dynasty, Xiao Shangyuan has been working hard to inherit his father's chair since he was born.

Leading the army against the rebels was both a great opportunity and a key challenge for him.

If he wins, then he will return with great success, crushing all his competitors in terms of record and prestige.

However, if he let the elite troops be lost in the northwest, or let the national teachers be seriously injured or killed here, then Xiao Shangheng and Xiao Shangli bastards will be happy in their hearts.

I have to say that these princes who only have the throne in their minds have never considered the possibility of "the Great Qi will die here".

In their perception, the emperor who wields the "Tai'a Sword" is a symbol of invincibility.

The father is immortal, and the Great Qi is immortal. (End of chapter)
