General Wei looked a little tired, as if he had aged a lot in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Xiao and Luo Xixian glanced at each other, they both knew that General Wei had a very heavy duty to suppress bandits this time, and if he made a mistake, I am afraid it would not be as simple as dismissal and dismissal. Now that the bandits have not been suppressed, Liang Shuo was killed by the demon first, and Liang Tao, the first seat of the Chongxuan Pavilion, will definitely not sit idly by.

"The first priority now is to get the army back where the territory is available." General Wei was not depressed: "The thief leader Yang Liujun is unusual, his person is not only profound, but also quite strategic. Now they also have the Excalibur to help, and it is difficult for mortal soldiers to contend with it. ”

"I don't understand." Zhao Huang asked: "How could Chongxuan Pavilion be easily defeated in the face of the Divine Sword?" They also have the protection of immortal magic weapons such as the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace, so could the demon directly kill it? ”

General Wei said: "I also asked the guards in the city, and it is said that another demon turned into a fire dragon and temporarily restrained the immortal general to buy time for the swordsman. The Nine Heavens Cloud Platform was defeated by the edge of the divine sword, and the demon broke into the inside. In addition to Liang Gongzi, the rest of the Liang family disciples were also killed and injured, and the entire Nine Heavens Cloud Platform fell to the head of the city, and now they don't know what to do. ”

"Fire dragon?" Luo Xixian pouted and said, "Isn't it the Dongzhang Sanren at the beginning?" ”

Zhao Xiao asked: "The bare-chested man in Sanniukeng?" ”

"That's him."

Zhao Xiao was puzzled when he heard this: "This person's cultivation is acceptable, but it is far from being able to contain the Fa Gong Immortal General." ”

Luo Xixian shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's some side sect evil art that I have cultivated." ”

Zhao Xiao did not answer, according to Ling Xiao, the inheritance of Chiyun Mountain is an authentic immortal magic method, which pays attention to restraining the soul, collecting the essence of fire, burning the form and the yin, refining into the true spirit, and finally reaching the point where the form and spirit are wonderful and the changes are clear.

Dongzhang Sanren changed the fire dragon, according to the inheritance of the Chiyun Mountain Immortal Law, but it was not a side door, but this kind of realm was at least the earth immortal position industry where the form and bones were refined, and the fetal immortal traveled out.

However, judging from the battle between Sanniu Pit, Dongzhang Sanren is still far away from the earth immortal position, and is more like a martial artist who relies on fire control techniques.

"Zhao Fu, I heard that in order to deal with the divine sword, you have set up mandalas all over Xingluo County. I wonder if I can use it? General Wei asked.

"This ......" Zhao Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "I originally thought about it, I planned to ask Liang Gongzi to use the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform as the center of the ritual, and let the Chenghuang Hengbi Gong adjust the number of heaven and earth qi in Xingluo County, and I can't mobilize the mandalas in various places by myself." ”

Luo Xixian asked: "Could it be that without Liang Shuo, it can't be done?" ”

"The Nine Heavens Cloud Platform is the most important, if you don't have this help, unless there is a person with advanced cultivation who presides over the ritual." Zhao Xiao pondered, he remembered that when he was in the mountain behind the pavilion, he saw the teacher Zhang Duanjing exhaling and refining qi, and the five-colored clouds formed a pedestal and arched to protect the fetal immortals, which was vaguely similar to the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace, and couldn't help but say: "If it's a teacher...... That is, the first seat of the Huaiying Pavilion, maybe it can be done. ”

General Wei said with emotion: "I have already gone to the imperial court and asked the heads of each pavilion to come to Xingluo County, but I still don't know how the imperial court will arrange it. ”

Luo Xixian clenched his fists and said: "General rest assured, Zhang Shouzuo already attaches great importance to the situation of Xingluo County to suppress bandits, and if he has the permission of the lord of the country, he will definitely come as soon as possible." ”

General Wei only nodded, signaling Zhao Xiao and the two to retreat and clean up, and the imperial army was obviously going to abandon Yuyang County.

Leaving the big tent, Luo Xixian asked Zhao Xiao: "You ...... These days are all for Liang Shuo? ”

"Are you angry?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Luo Xixian let out a breath of turbidity: "It's a little, but he's dead, and I don't need to keep dwelling on it." ”

Zhao Xiao explained: "You and I were almost the first to hear the news of Chiyundu's casting of the Divine Sword, and not many people cared about the matter of the Divine Sword at the beginning. Later, it was said that the red clouds were cast into divine swords, and no one could see its edge and might.

At that time, I felt that if I didn't prepare a response, I might cause a catastrophe in the future. The matter of the mandala ritual was discussed with Liang Shuo in private, so that with his strength, at least more battlefield casualties could be spared. ”

Luo Xixian sighed: "In the final analysis, because the Chongxuan Pavilion is more powerful, they should have done more to prevent the situation from turning bad." It's a pity that the first time they came to the battlefield, they lost completely. ”

Zhao Xiao shook his head: "In fact, before the birth of the Divine Sword, you followed General Wei and them all the way forward, and almost never encountered decent resistance. I have seen Liang Shuo a few times, far from any grand ambitions, the so-called immortal blood Yin, the children of the family, but used to decorate the façade identity, if there is no support of the magic general, there are no many magic weapons and charms in the Chongxuan Pavilion, he is just a person who has no responsibility and is afraid of death. ”

Luo Xixian smiled: "I don't care so much, I just can't get used to seeing him smell of fat powder." ”

Zhao Xiao came to the north of the city and saw the broken and collapsed Nine Heavens Cloud Platform, the clouds below disappeared, and the palace itself was almost turned into ruins, no longer extraordinary. Dozens of soldiers were nearby to clean up and remove the bodies from under the rubble.

"Childe! Childe, where are you? ”

Hearing Jiang Ru's exclamation, she ignored her internal injuries, stepped out of the carriage and ran towards the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform, her flower face was discolored, her hairpin was scattered, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul and was at a loss.

Seeing her like this, Luo Xixian stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him, and his voice was low: "Liang Shuo is dead, General Wei has ordered the body to be collected, don't you ......"

"Let go of me!" Jiang Ru shook off Luo Xixian, pointed at him, and then pointed at Zhao Xiao, with a grim expression: "You...... Zhao Xiao! That's the great idea you came up with! You killed my son-in-law! ”

Zhao Xiao closed his eyes: "I can't be able to calculate everything, Chiyundu is obviously planning a killing game this time, and he made a special trip to deal with Liang Shuo, I didn't expect Liang Shuo to be defeated by the edge of the divine sword." ”

"That's your fault!" Jiang Ru grabbed her hair like crazy and shouted: "I understand, you Huaiying Pavilion are scheming and colluding with the rebel party to kill my son-in-law!" ”

Jiang Ru's words attracted the peeps of the nearby soldiers, Luo Xixian waved his hand to signal them to retreat, and then said to Jiang Ru with a gloomy face: "I advise you to be careful when you speak, who was planning to divide us before?" Zhao Huang helped you Chongxuan Pavilion, also out of the suppression of bandits, benevolence and righteousness, and there is no debt! ”

"You, you ......" Jiang Ru gritted her teeth, her body trembling.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Huang stepped forward and said, "As soon as Liang Shuo died, the Chiyun Chaos Party became more arrogant, do you think this will be a good thing for Huaiying Pavilion?" It's just that we can still make our own decisions about advancing and retreating, and your Jiang family is looking up to others, causing today's results, no wonder others. ”

Jiang Ru lost her strength and fell to the ground, due to the number of Qi connected by the Dengxian Qi, Liang Shuo's death hit her cultivation hard, and she was so excited by Zhao Huang that she almost fainted.

"You are not that kind of country woman, even if your cultivation is greatly damaged, you have experience and knowledge far beyond the mundane." Zhao Xiao said to Jiang Ru: "Untying the rope bridle today, it is like getting out of the cage, the sky is high and the sea is wide for you to soar, why bow your head and flatter others?" ”

Jiang Ru pressed her hand to her heart, bit her lip tightly, and didn't say a word. Zhao Xiao said: "I know that you want to cling to the Liang family and ascend to the cave in the future, but Liang Shuo enjoys the wealth of the immortal family, occupies the fortune, and finally achieves high and low levels, you should look at it in your eyes." If Yongjia Liang really has a long-term plan, why not indulge his children? ”

After saying this, Zhao Xiao turned around and left, Luo Xixian looked at Jiang Ru twice, shook his head and followed Zhao Xiao.

"Your eloquence is as great as ever." Luo Xixian said with a smile.

Zhao Xiao smiled, in fact, what he said just now was mainly to imply that Jiang Ru couldn't directly say about the collapse of Qingya Fairyland, then remind her that the Yongjia Liang clan was not reliable.

And Zhao Huang is not all about the benefits of his tongue, since he learned about the collapse of the Qingya Wonderland, Zhao Xiao's opinion of the Yongjia Liang clan has completely changed, especially the national teacher Liang Tao.

The cave heaven collapsed, the true monarch fell, and it was almost hopeless for the disciples of the later generations to ascend, unless Liang Guoshi planned to inherit the Dharma lineage by himself and rebuild the cave sky. But in this way, the behavior of the Liang clan to drive the generals like slaves is too unreasonable. So much so that Hengbi would rather give up the Fa Gong Immortal Book than work with it.

If Liang Guoshi really thinks about the long-term family inheritance, he should teach the younger generations strictly, not to raise a group of incompetent fools who only know how to enjoy pomp and circumstance.

All of this made Zhao Xiao feel that Liang Tao, the national teacher, was incomprehensible.

"I heard that you still have a dewy fate with this Jiang Ru?" Zhao Xiao suddenly asked.

Luo Xixian's face froze: "How do you know?" ”

Zhao Xiao glared at Luo Xixian: "Jiang Ru found Senior Sister Xin, probably to show off and provoke, and told the matter herself." ”

Luo Xixian didn't know how to respond, Zhao Xiao said: "But every woman who takes the initiative to dedicate herself must have something to seek, with your cultivation and will, you may not be confused by flattery, should you just be happy for a while?" ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Luo Xixian coughed a few times to cover up the past: "This woman took the initiative to send it to the door, don't you have any idea?" ”

"I don't have that in mind right now." Zhao Xiao looked at the mourning everywhere, full of sorrow.

……

The imperial court army was defeated in Yuyang County, and General Wei led his troops to retreat again, encountering several attacks from Chiyundu on the way.

Fortunately, General Wei made proper arrangements and did not cause serious losses, and after throwing down a large amount of baggage, the officers and troops retreated all the way to the periphery of Yanze City, and the situation of suppressing bandits almost regressed to the original state.

However, when General Wei returned to Yanze City, he learned that Liang Tao, the first seat of Chongxuan Pavilion, had also just arrived.

"At the end, I will meet with the national teacher." General Wei rushed to the outside of the county government office and bowed to Liang Tao.

Liang Guoshi was darkly clothed, stood with his hands in his hands, and turned around, with a gray-haired, eagle-eyed falcon face with a gloomy expression.

"Where is Liang Shuo?"

Liang Tao swept away the group of pavilion monks behind General Wei, his tone was flat, and the momentum emanating from him was like substance, so that the juniors couldn't raise their heads.

"It was the incompetence of the last general that caused Liang Gongzi to die unfortunately." General Wei said with great courage: "The bodies of Liang Gongzi and the cultivators of Chongxuan Pavilion have been collected, and they are returning to Yanze City with the following army. ”

Liang Tao, who heard this, was silent for a long time, and the breath outside the county government office was almost condensed, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

"If you are called incompetent, what face do you have to live in the world?" Liang Tao stared at General Wei and said: "At the beginning, you were ordered to go out on an expedition and promised to quell the bandits within a year, but now that the middle of the year is approaching, the army will be defeated and retreat to Yanze City, and the bandits will become more and more prosperous, how should you deal with it?" ”

General Wei ignored the restraint of the armor on his body, and immediately knelt down and bowed his head: "The demon is strong, and there is a divine sword to help, all the soldiers are fighting to the death, but no one can resist the edge, and I ask the national teacher to forgive one or two!" ”

"Write down your guilt." Liang Tao's face was gloomy, and he turned around and entered the county government office, and General Wei slowly stood up, cold sweat had already soaked his underwear.

Liang Guoshi came in person, and this time everyone knew that the situation was not as good as before, and the various pavilions sent representatives to follow General Wei into the county government, and Zhao Xiao and Luo Xixian were among them.

What made Zhao Huang feel helpless was that the first seat of the hall that came this time was not the teacher Zhang Duanjing.

"The lord of the country has a will, let the old man preside over the affairs of Xingluo County to suppress bandits." Liang Tao sat on it and said directly: "Now the Chiyun Rebellion Party entrenched in Cangwuling is also about to move, Jiuli and Youxiong are on the border of Chen Bing, and the bandits in Xingluo County will not be eliminated for a day, and Huaxu Kingdom will never have peace, can you understand?" ”

The people below saluted and said yes, and Liang Tao then said: "Now that the chaotic party is holding a divine sword, it is difficult to deal with ordinary spells, and I have previously learned that Liang Shuo is preparing to pray for the magic ceremony, so as to dissolve the calamity and curb the edge of the divine sword...... Where is Zhao Xiao? ”

Zhao Xiao was stunned when he heard this, he was reluctant to face this domineering Liang Guoshi, if the other party really explored, Liang Shuo's death might really involve Zhao Xiao.

But since the other party spoke, Zhao Xiao had no way to avoid it, so he could only answer with his head open: "The junior Zhao Huang is here." ”

"You are Zhao Xiao?" Liang Tao's eyes were sharp, he looked at Zhao Xiao, and was noncommittal: "Liang Shuo has arranged for you to do something?" ”

Zhao Xiao replied: "The mandalas in all parts of Xingluo County have been properly placed, and the atlas is here, please take a look at the national teacher." ”

Liang Tao took over a map depicting the trend of mountains and rivers, and the place where the yin and yang qi and qi converged were all shown with cinnabar, and the mandalas were scattered all over the place, as if a huge formation was lined up, faintly enveloping the entire Xingluo County.

Liang Tao didn't see joy and sorrow on his face, but there was a little suspicion in his heart. Liang Shuo's ability is still clear to him, and matching the mandala ritual with a mountain and river heaven and earth is far from what Liang Shuo can imagine.

Thinking of this, Liang Tao understood why Liang Shuo mentioned Zhao Huang to himself more than once.

"It's up to you to preside over this prayer ceremony." Liang Tao immediately gave the order.

Zhao Xiao was shocked, and secretly felt bad, and hurriedly said: "It's not for the juniors to shirk, this ritual is very vast, and it is difficult to launch it with the cultivation of the juniors. ”

Liang Tao didn't speak, but raised his hand to take a false shot, and after a while, two streamers flew into the county mansion, falling into his hands and turning into two cloud-patterned jade pendants: "You don't have to worry about the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform, this is the order to summon the Chenghuang Hengbi Gong, and you will preside over the ritual and let him adjust the qi of heaven and earth." ”

Zhao Xiao didn't dare to take the order, lowered his head and said, "Please forgive the juniors for being blunt, how difficult is it to control the calamity of the scattered heaven and earth? The hasty opening of the altar can only be achieved for a short time. If the younger generation practices the Fa at this moment, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the edge of the divine sword for a long time. ”

"So you go to the battlefield with the old man." Liang Tao stared at Zhao Xiao: "The old man wants to kill the demon of the chaotic party with his own hands!" ”
