On the ninth day after the battle of Wumatang, news suddenly came from the intelligence network of the beggar gang, that is, the remaining Maotu Hall, Si Snake Hall, Weiyang Hall, and Shen Monkey Hall of Huoyun Palace, all the people and horses of the four branches gave up their halls and withdrew to the Secret Demon Island of the Fire Cloud Palace.

This news is great news for everyone, because it means that the Fire Cloud Palace can no longer withstand the pressure and can only return to the Fire Cloud Palace.

But from another point of view, this is not good news, because if the four halls are outside, everyone can break them individually, and now that they are gathered together, everyone must adjust the battle plan and concentrate on attacking the Secret Demon Island.

However, Li Yi always bowed his head and remained silent, he thought: "There are a total of twelve halls in the Huoyun Palace, and now although we have broken the eight halls of the Huoyun Palace, only one of the eight Huoyun Divine Generals, the main force of the Huoyun Palace, has died, and seven have not shown up, and Cai Tingye, the palace master of the Huoyun Palace, is known as the number one master of martial arts today, and he has not yet come out of the mountain, not to mention that they still have Taifu Yuwenhong secretly supporting them in the imperial court, so according to common sense, the Huoyun Palace has not yet reached the step of returning to the secret demon island." There must be another reason for their retreat. "It's really incomprehensible.

On this day, in the helm of the beggar gang, everyone gathered together to study the next action plan.

Suddenly, someone outside the door came to report, "Report! reported to the heroes, two people came from outside the door, asking to see Li Yi and Lian Yunfeng. ”

The red-haired camel beggar Mu Wanniang asked, "Who is it?" ”

The disciple replied: "Helper, there is an old man and a young man, the old man has gray hair and looks quite rich. The young ones are clear-eyed and very chic. ”

When Li Yi and Lian Yunfeng next to them heard this, they didn't care about everyone's questions, and hurriedly ran out.

The two ran to the door and took a closer look, and sure enough, the two people who came were Xiao Pingzhong, the capital of the imperial court, and Kong Xuan, the Marquis of Wuchang. Li Yi saw that there was no one following behind the two, and hurriedly let the two into the helm of the beggar gang.

Li Yi and Lian Yunfeng let Xiao Pingzhong and Kong Xuan to the back room and closed the door. Hurriedly asked: "Teacher, Master Hou, why are you here, why don't you even bring bodyguards?" ”

Xiao Pingzhong took Li Yi's hand and said, "Li Yi, if we bring bodyguards, we won't be able to come here alive." ”

Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Xiao Pingzhong and Kong Xuan recounted what happened.

It turned out that since the last time Emperor Wenchang met with Li Yi, he returned to the imperial court with Xiao Pingzhong, Mu Hua, and Kong Xuan, and secretly arranged for the loyal ministers in the court to gather their rights and quietly weaken the rights of Taifu Yu Wenhong. At first, Yu Wenhong was not aware of it, so he withdrew the masters of the garrison who came to help the Huoyun Palace to the capital.

But after a long time, Yu Wenhong became aware of it.

Emperor Wenchang was in a hurry, so he wanted to order Mu Hua, the commander of the Guards, to secretly capture Yu Wenhong. However, there was a personal eunuch next to Emperor Wenchang, who was a spy placed by Emperor Wenchang by Taifu Yu Wenhong, and this eunuch told Yu Wenhong about this matter.

So Yu Wenhong decided to make a desperate gamble and forcibly forced the palace. Yu Wenhong had already invited two masters from Fanwai Exotic Realm, Nine Yin Twin Honorable Zhuang Daoqin, and Desperate Mortal Ye Qiusheng to come and help, leading the 50,000 horses of the garrison to attack the palace.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Emperor Wenchang did not expect Yu Wenhong to rebel so blatantly, so he was not prepared. Now only Mu Hua led 20,000 guards in the palace, relying on the strong walls of the palace to defend desperately. It's okay if it's short, but if it's long, I'm afraid the palace will be broken.

The capital's lords, Xiao Pingzhong and Kong Xuan, were ordered to leave the palace with the secret of the secret saint, crawl out of the dog hole, and escaped from the palace.

Xiao Pingzhong took Li Yi's hand and said: "Li Yi, now that the palace is tight, and the people of the sixteen countries of Fanbang have taken the opportunity to attack, Jin Jiushang urgently reported and urgently asked for help." ”

"I hope you can take a few masters to the palace to rescue the emperor, I will go to various places to transfer troops, and then I will arrive."

When Li Yi heard this, his head immediately sweated, and he hurriedly said: "This matter is urgent, I'm afraid I can't solve it with my own strength, I will take you to meet the heroes immediately." ”

Li Yi and Lian Yunfeng led Xiao Pingzhong and Kong Xuan to the front hall in a panic.

Everyone was waiting for Li Yi and them to come back at this time, and guessed who the old and young people who came to find Li Yi were.

Li Yi came to Mu Wanniang and Master Wuxiang and other old-timers and gave a deep salute.

A few people were stunned, they didn't know what Li Yi's intentions were, how could he do such a big gift, guessing that there must be something here, they all swept the old and young behind Li Yi with their eyes, and asked: "Li Shaoxia, what's wrong with you, we are all our own people, if there is something, just say it, don't be polite." ”

Li Yi said, "A few old-timers," and then turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, everyone be quiet, I have something to say." ”

The hall immediately fell silent, staring at Li Yi and listening to what Li Yi said.

Li Yi continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to two guests. After speaking, he pointed at Xiao Pingzhong and Kong Xuan with his hand, "This is Lord Xiao Pingzhong, the capital of the dynasty, and this young man is Marquis Kong Xuan, Marquis of Wuchang." ”

This sentence was like a big stone suddenly dropped in a calm pond, and everyone immediately talked about it.

"What, this old man is Lord Xiao."

"Lord Xiao is a rare clean official."

"What, they are people from the imperial court, why did the people from the imperial court suddenly come to us, we never deal with the imperial court."

In short, there is a lot of talk about everything.

Li Yi continued: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me. Do you remember that before we attacked Zixialing, I didn't agree at first, and then I received a letter and agreed again? Because that is the letter written by my teacher, Xiao Pingzhong, and Master Xiao. ”

Li Yi snapped a sigh of relief, and told the cause and effect of the matter again, talked about the current situation in the imperial court, and finally said: "According to the information we have, Huoyun Palace and Taifu Yuwenhong have been secretly colluding, and Huoyun Palace's withdrawal to the Secret Demon Island for no reason this time must be related to Yuwenhong's attack on the palace. ”

"So I suggest that this time we split into two groups and rush all the way to the capital to solve the siege of the palace. The other rushed all the way to the Secret Demon Island to destroy the Fire Cloud Palace. ”

After listening to Li Yi's words, everyone was very shocked. Although he had long known that Huoyun Palace had colluded with the imperial court, and attacking Huoyun Palace would inevitably cause friction with some people in the imperial court, he did not expect to be involved in the dispute of the imperial court in such a direct way, so no one dared to express his position casually, and they all stared at Mu Wanniang, Wuxiang Mage, Chu Tianyang and other old-timers.

These old-timers were silent for a while, and Li Yi was sweating anxiously.

In the end, the red-haired camel beggar Mu Wanniang spoke first: "Everyone, what we in the martial arts pay attention to is chivalrous and righteous, helping the needy, if there is a war, then the first to suffer is the people, we save the court, it is equivalent to saving the people." So I decided that the beggars would go all out to participate in the battle of the imperial court. ”

Master Wuxiang also said, "Amitabha! My Buddha is compassionate, and I can't see the misery of life, and my Shaolin Temple also participated in the war. ”

The Venerable Master Qinglian and Our Lady of Qingxiu also expressed their participation in the war.

Chu Tianyang, the head of the Kongtong faction, said: "My Kongtong faction has never dealt with the imperial court, so we don't directly participate in the battle of the imperial court, but we can be responsible for attacking the Huoyun Palace. ”

Everyone saw that several old-timers expressed their attitudes, and they also expressed their willingness to participate in the war.

At this point, Li Yi and Xiao Pingzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to the urgency of the situation, everyone immediately divided their troops and sent generals. In the end, it was decided to divide into three groups.

The first group of people was protected by Lian Yunfeng, Yu Debiao, and Xiao Tingyu, Xiao Pingzhong and Kong Xuan, and rushed to various places to move the rescue soldier King Qin.

The second group of people led by Li Yi led more than 1,000 people, including Xiuchen, Wuxiang Mage, Our Lady of Qing Xiu, and red-haired camel beggars, to the capital.

The third group of people led by Chu Tianyang led more than 2,000 people, including Master Qinglian, Ye Feng, and Kongtong Erxia, to attack the Secret Demon Island.

Press the other two ways not to mention, single table of the second way.

Li Yi led everyone all the way and rushed to the capital in a few days. Everyone found an inn to rest in a hidden place.

In the evening, Li Yi and Xiuchen asked everyone to wait at the inn, and the two sneaked into the capital to check the situation. The two of them performed light exercises, jumping high and low, and walked in dark places.

Li Yi found that the entire palace had been surrounded by the garrison. The walls of the palace were covered with guards, with bows and arrows in hand, ready for battle. Although there were many men and horses in the garrison, the walls of the palace were tall and difficult to break for a while, so the men and horses of the two sides were in a stalemate.

The two returned to the inn and explained the situation to everyone, and after discussion, they finally decided that it was impossible to break the garrison's more than 50,000 horses with these 1,000 men alone.

Therefore, according to the actual situation, a battle plan was formulated, that is, to reduce the thousand people to zero, and then surrender and interfere with the men and horses of the garrison from the periphery, so that they could not concentrate on attacking the palace, that is, to take a 'drag' word, and drag it until Xiao Pingzhong, the lord of the capital, moved King Qin's rescue troops.

Before that, it is necessary to send someone to secretly enter the palace to report to Emperor Wenchang, so that they can prepare inside.

So, at night, more than 1,000 people acted at the same time, and more than 1,000 people led by Master Wuxiang, Our Lady of Qingxiu, and the red-haired camel beggar, took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into the garrison camp in several directions.

Besides, the 50,000 horses of the garrison camp were divided into two groups by Yu Wenhong and took turns to attack the palace. After attacking for more than half a month, it has not been able to take it down, and there are heavy casualties.

On this day, Yuwen Hong lost his temper and was ordering the garrison to attack desperately. Suddenly, I heard a big chaos in the northwest direction, and the sound of slashing and slashing was loud.

Yu Wenhong said angrily: "What's going on in the northwest direction? Check it out. ”

"Yes!" The sentry was ordered to fly off.

At this moment, shouts rang out again in the southeast, and fires burst out. Then, in all directions of the camp to the east, south, west, and north, chaos began to rise in all directions.

Yuwen Hong was shocked and thought: "It's bad, could it be that King Qin's rescue can't arrive, can't it be so fast." ”

When he was in a hurry, a sentry came to report: "Report, more than 200 people of unknown origin broke into the barracks, killed people when they saw them, and set fires everywhere. ”

Then another sentry came to report: "Report, more than 100 unknown enemies have been killed in the east." ”

"Report, there are enemies in the West who are coming."

The more Yu Wenhong thought about it, the more he wondered, not knowing who the enemy was who was sacred. Then he ordered: "Come, suspend the attack on the palace, and send people to surround and suppress the invading enemy." ”

He turned his head to the two old lamas sitting on the chair behind him and said, "Two Venerables, it seems that the enemies who have come this time are not idle people, and I would like to invite the two Venerables to take a look." ”

The two old lamas are the exotic double statues of the Xixia Temple outside Fanwai, the Nine Yin Zhuang Daoqin, and the desperate Ye Qiusheng. The Exotic Twin Venerables stood up proudly, snorted with their noses and said, "Don't worry, Lord Taifu, no matter who the people are, with the two of us here, let them become dead people, go!" After speaking, he saw the figures of the Exotic Twin Figures flicker, and then disappeared.

This led to an unprecedented battle, and it was necessary to fight two ways.
