Jiang Erlang looked at Li Qingbai's appearance and said seriously: "I already said just now, Great Qin needs General Li!" ”

But in fact, he actually wanted to say something...... I don't want to believe you, it's just that I have more important things to do now, and I want to see Ji Ruxue.

If he continued to stay in Xijing City, he would have to settle the war on the "shallow rocky beach" first, and in that case, the delay would be too much.

Li Qingbai obviously didn't know what Jiang Erlang really thought, he actually thought about more issues: "But, Jiang Jinqi, don't forget, this is a great merit!" Now that 100,000 soldiers of Daqin are surrounded, and Your Majesty has sent 80,000 reinforcements, if Jiang Jinqi can now take the Xijing garrison to the shallow rocky beach,

No matter whether the final result is victory or defeat, no one will question your loyalty to Daqin, and you will definitely become the pillar of Daqin's country in the future, but once you believe in the wrong person and return Xijing City to me, in case my judgment is wrong, you will also be unable to escape joint responsibility. ”

"Hehe, so what?" Jiang Erlang smiled.

"So what?"

"I will say again one last time, the Xijing garrison can only be led by General Li, and as for how to rescue the 100,000 soldiers in the shallow rocky beach, General Li can make his own decisions."

After Jiang Erlang finished speaking, he added: "From beginning to end, I have only one question to consider, that is, who is more suitable, and as for the credit...... I, Jiang Erlang, never cared! ”

In the last sentence, Jiang Erlang said it sincerely, after all, he really didn't care, he only had one idea in his heart.

However, when these words were heard in Li Qingbai's ears, in the eyes of the surrounding night watchmen and Xijing soldiers, there was a shocking momentum.

Li Qingbai's eyes were fixed on Jiang Erlang's face, he wanted to see Jiang Erlang's true thoughts, but he could only see the words "true feelings".

"I don't care about the credit, as long as I care about who is more suitable...... Li Qingbai silently recalled Jiang Erlang's words, and a kind of admiration finally rose in his heart.

He didn't say anything else, but immediately bowed down: "Li Qingbai will never live up to Daqin, let alone Jiang Jinqi's words today!" ”

"Very good, I believe you!" Jiang Erlang nodded, and when he walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he glanced back at Li Qingbai again: "I guess the Great Qin Sergeant of the shallow rocky beach can't hold out for too long, at most half a month." ”

Li Qingbai didn't speak, just nodded solemnly.

Jiang Erlang left the house.

Take advantage of the night.

According to Yan Yu's memory, he headed towards the Ghost Valley.

……

Ghost Valley.

During the Warring States period, it was the most famous talent training base.

There have been countless important figures in history, such as: Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, Zhang Yi......

And among them, the most mysterious character is Guiguzi!

In the historical records of the Warring States period, this Guiguzi existed for a long period of several months, and was known as a fairy-like figure.

If it is in previous history......

Jiang Erlang may not have too many feelings, but in this era, he can be sure that Guiguzi must be an immortal cultivator. …

"Is this the Valley of Ghosts?"

Looking at the valley in front of him, which was filled with a faint white mist.

Jiang Erlang felt a sense of 'aura' that he had never felt before, as if this was the legendary Immortal Cave Mansion.

He walked into the valley.

As soon as I entered the valley, I smelled the fragrance of the flowers in the valley.

The current time is actually late autumn, and in another month, it will be winter.

But the temperature in the valley seemed to be still in spring, and he even saw a bouquet of spring flowers.

"Immortal means?" Jiang Erlang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something: "Oh...... It turned out that there was just a hot spring in the valley. ”

This damn scientific knowledge breaks the artistic conception that should be.

He didn't think much about it, and walked straight towards the valley.

However, after only walking for a while, he stopped, because, according to Yan Yu's memory, this is where the 'prohibition' of Guigu is.

He reached out and touched the 'air' in front of him, and sure enough, he touched a kind of glass-like barrier.

In the land of Ghost Valley, outsiders are forbidden to enter!

Not far from his feet, he saw a stone monument.

Jiang Erlang naturally has a way to crack it, after all, he has the memory of Yan Yu, but he still decided to 'knock on the door'.

So, he stood where he was and said to the valley: "Miss Ji, Erlang asks to see." ”

After saying that, he waited where he was.

However, there was no sound in the valley.

"Doesn't Ji Ruxue want to see me?" Jiang Erlang thought for a moment and understood: "Ji Ruxue didn't know that Xijing City had been taken back by me, and she thought that Xijing City was under Yan Yu's control. ”

Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Miss Ji, Erlang came over from Xijing City just now, and now Xijing City has been led by Xijing Baiyi again. ”

Still no response.

Jiang Erlang knew that Ji Ruxue didn't believe it, so he said again: "Yan Yu put Li Qingbai under house arrest, but I have already broken his game, and the fact that he colluded with the demon clan in public, coupled with the help of the Divine Arrow Battalion, now that Xijing City is really back in the hands of Daqin, Miss Ji should believe me." ”

This time, there was finally a response in the valley.

Ji Ruxue's voice sounded: "Where is Yan Yu now?" ”

"Dead." Jiang Erlang replied.

"It can't be." Ji Ruxue obviously didn't believe it.

Jiang Erlang could only explain: "According to common sense, it is really impossible, after all, Yan Yu has the Heavenly Star Lantern in his hand, if he absorbs the National Fortune of the Six Kingdoms in the Heavenly Star Lantern, he can reach the cultivation close to the Seven Realms in a short time, but unfortunately, his Heavenly Star Lantern was taken away by me." ”

“……”

Silent.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Ji Ruxue spoke again: "Is he really dead?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Erlang affirmed.

"Okay, come in." Ji Ruxue.

The voice fell.

Jiang Erlang clearly felt that the space in front of him fluctuated.

The ban is lifted.

"It's really delicate." Jiang Erlang smiled and strode into the valley.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Erlang came to a stone bridge.

Under the stone bridge is the hot spring of the Ghost Valley, and there is a stone pavilion built next to the stone bridge. …

Ji Ruxue, who was dressed in a white dress, was sitting in the stone pavilion at the moment, and on either side of her, there were also Heizi and Baizi, and a guqin was placed in front of her.

Not playing chess, but playing the piano?

Jiang Erlang realized something and walked to the stone pavilion: "Miss Ji is really beautiful today, plus this valley is like a fairyland, Miss Ji really looks like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal dust." ”

"Tell me, how Yan Yu died, and who killed him." Ji Ruxue raised her head, and the corners of her slightly raised eyes revealed a solemnity that she had never seen before.

"I'll kill him." Jiang Erlang replied casually.

"You?!"

"Yes, it's me."

"I see." Ji Ruxue nodded: "He fell into your ambush and was robbed of the Star Lantern by you, and then, you used the Divine Arrow Camp to kill him?" ”

"Miss Ji is still smart, and she guessed the truth at once." Jiang Erlang smiled and complimented.

"Alas......" Ji Ruxue sighed.

Jiang Erlang took advantage of this opportunity to approach Ji Ruxue's side, sat down, and glanced at Bai Zi again: "Don't you want to give tea to the Benjin Banner?" ”

"Cut ......" Bai Zi glanced at Jiang Erlang, but he still obediently poured a cup of tea.

Jiang Erlang took a sip and praised the good tea again, and then said again: "Does Miss Ji think that Yan Yu died well, or did she die badly?" ”

Ji Ruxue didn't reply, just quietly looked at the flowing water under the stone bridge.

Jiang Erlang said again: "Miss Ji is the only heir of the Great Zhou royal family, and Yan Yu is the last bloodline of the Yan Kingdom, from the standpoint of the Great Zhou, Miss Ji is obviously more willing to see the fall of Great Qin, and the current Great Qin is already different from back then, and the national strength has dried up,

Coupled with the dictatorship of the Queen Mother, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people suffer...... If Yan Yu can really push the rule of Great Qin, it may not be a bad thing.

It's just that what Yan Yu wants to do is not just to change the dynasty, what he wants to do is to let the world 'tear the earth and seal the king' again and return to the pattern of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But this approach will only make the world return to war, even if Miss Ji is a descendant of Da Zhou, in fact, she also understands the disadvantages of Da Zhou's policy.

Only when the world is unified can the people be saved from war, but Miss Ji is a member of the Great Zhou royal family, and you can't deny the policy of the Great Zhou, am I right? ”

"Erlang...... It is worthy of Erlang. Ji Ruxue withdrew her gaze from looking at Shiqiao Liushui, and when she looked at Jiang Erlang, her eyes were full of surprise and surprise.

"So, Miss Ji decided to go back to the Ghost Valley, just as she didn't know anything, and she didn't come forward to stop or help, I'm right?"

"Well, you're right." Ji Ruxue nodded.

"And now?" Jiang Erlang looked at Ji Ruxue: "Yan Yu is dead, and the power of the Xijing Army is returned to Li Qingbai, what choice will Miss Ji make?" Jiang Erlang asked again.

"What choice does Jiro want me to make?" Ji Ruxue looked at Jiang Erlang seriously.

"Although the military power of Xijing is back to Li Qingbai, however, Daqin is still in danger, the demon clan soldiers are under Xijing, and there is still no solution to the siege of the shallow rocky beach, coupled with the emptiness of the treasury of Daqin, it is really difficult to hold on for another winter.

If the plight of the shallow rocky beach cannot be solved, Great Qin will lose 100,000 soldiers...... At that time, Great Qin could only seek peace with the Western Regions and the Demon Clan, so it was still unknown whether Great Qin would win or lose in this war. ”…

Jiang Erlang said this, and then asked, "Does Miss Ji want to continue waiting?" ”

"Why don't you wait?" Ji Ruxue: "You have already said that victory or defeat is still unknown, and there is no solution to the dilemma of shallow rocky beaches." ”

"Actually, it's not completely impossible." Jiang Erlang took another sip of tea.

"Oh? What can you do? Ji Ruxue tilted her head.

"Before I came, Xijing Baiyi also asked me if there was a way, and my answer was no, let him figure it out for himself."

"So what?"

"But I actually have a way."

"......" Ji Ruxue obviously didn't understand too much.

Jiang Erlang didn't sell Guanzi anymore, but said directly: "As long as the Buddhism Gate is willing to go down and drag the demon clan outside Xijing City, then the garrison of Xijing can go south to rescue the shallow rocky beach, and at that time, the Xijing garrison plus His Majesty's 80,000 reinforcements will attack back and forth, even if there are reinforcements in the southern region, I am afraid it will not be able to resist." ”

"That's true, but the current position of Buddhism is 'wait and see', and it is impossible to end up now." Ji Ruxue continued after listening.

"It wasn't possible before, but now it's possible."

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple, Buddhism did not occupy an advantage in the dialectics of the Jixia School Palace, in other words, Buddhism could not get the benefits he wanted because of the failure of the dialectics, so he could only wait for the times to change."

Jiang Erlang continued to add: "But now the situation is different, Daqin needs Buddhism to end, and now that the matter of Xijing's treason in white clothes has been ascertained, as long as Buddhism is willing to take action, the crisis of Daqin will be resolved immediately, and at this time, Buddhism will have the confidence to negotiate with Daqin, why don't they make a move?" ”

"Why are you telling me these things?" Ji Ruxue looked at Jiang Erlang: "Since you already have a solution, you should directly fly the pigeon and pass the book to Di Gong, in this way, you will become the first hero in this battle, even Jiang Yu'er is not as good as your credit." ”

After Ji Ruxue finished speaking, she thought of something again: "Also, if my guess is right, the military power in Xijing City was given to Li Qingbai by you, right?" Why are you doing this? With the plan you just proposed...... Even if the Xijing garrison can't exert its real combat power, as long as the garrison reaches the shallow rocky beach, it can still solve the crisis, am I right? ”

"Hehe, yes......" Jiang Erlang did not deny: "I can indeed immediately fly a pigeon and send a message to Di Gong, let him preside over the negotiations with Buddhism, and I can also take the Xijing garrison to the shallow rocky beach and save the 100,000 soldiers of Daqin, but I don't want to do this." ”

"Why?" Ji Ruxue didn't understand.

"The reason is very simple, I want Miss Ji to do it."

"Let me do it?" Ji Ruxue seemed to think of something: "Are you repaying the favor?" Hehe, Erlang...... Although I recommended you, you also helped me a lot, and there is no need to repay the favor between you and me......"

"Yes, the reason why Miss Ji recommended me is just because I am a vulgar martial artist, and of course, another reason is that I am handsome."

"......" Ji Ruxue.

"So, I don't have any thoughts of repaying the favor, the reason why I did this is actually to find Miss Ji to exchange something." Jiang Erlang continued.

"Changing things? What is it? ”

"A picture scroll!" Jiang Erlang said: "More than 300 years ago, Ying Banzi left a picture scroll in the Ghost Valley. ”

"How do you know that Win Banzi left a picture scroll in the Ghost Valley?" Ji Ruxue was even more surprised: "Only the people of the Guigu Sect will know about this matter!" ”

Jiang Erlang had no way to tell Ji Ruxue directly that he had read Yan Yu's memory, so he could only say, "I guess." ”

Of course, how to guess the reason......

He's already figured it out.
