Sang Huazi looked embarrassed, his hair crown was scattered, and the talisman fan in his hand was missing, when he was in Gaoling County before, in the face of Luo Xixian's forced killing, he was difficult to parry, and the talisman fan that he had been practicing for many years was also crushed by the sword qi, relying on a group of brave soldiers to cover desperately, and finally escaped from Gaoling County.

Walking in the rudder of Yunyan, there are remnants of defeated soldiers everywhere, or lying on the ground wrapped in wounded cloths, or sleeping at the base of the wall with a blade, some people are tossing and moaning because of injuries, and some people can't stop wiping their tears and crying, but more people are just dusty and numb.

Sang Huazi was sad in his heart, but he still held on to the injured body, first checked whether the ban was good, and then found the white palm flag, the other party was sitting cross-legged on the high stone altar, and there was a huge flag in the altar, black and shiny, and the wisps of wind were connected.

"Is there any news from Lonely Yuanzi?" Sang Huazi asked.

The white palm flag shook his head slightly: "No." ”

"Is there any news from anyone else?"

Bai Zhangqi's voice was low: "No." ”

Sang Huazi couldn't help but take half a step back, his mind swollen and his eyes dizzy. Bai Zhangqi looked at the banner in front of him and said: "Yang Liujun has been tricked, Liang Tao has repeatedly attacked and killed our soldiers before, just to lure Yang Liujun into the army, he thinks that with the help of Shan Yuanzi and Shenjian, he can kill Liang Tao...... Mr. Jingming said that Yang Liujun indulged in past hatred, and there will eventually be a day when he makes a mistake. ”

"In other words, we're left with Yun Yan Chief Helm?" Sang Huazi asked.

Bai Zhangqi nodded: "Maybe some loose cultivators took advantage of the chaos to escape, but I didn't respond to my several summons." In short, you can't count on it. ”

"What are you going to do?" Sang Huazi asked.

"If there is no army to drag us down, we can hide in Panlong Mountain, spend some time climbing the mountains and deep valleys, and then make a detour from the northern frontier, through the Xuanming Kingdom and the Youxiong Country, and return to Cangwuling." White Palm Flag said.

Sang Huazi's smile was ugly: "What do you say...... I'm not going to give up on everyone. ”

"The official army of the imperial court is already not far away, and the scouts are approaching outside the fence more than a dozen times a day, disturbing everyone who can't rest." White Palm Flag said.

Sang Huazi looked at the fluttering flag in the distance, and took a deep breath: "I am one of the twenty-four generals of Chiyun, how can I retreat?" Live and die with all the soldiers here! ”

……

With the help of paper cranes, Zhao Xiao saw the Yunyan rudder in the valley, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and was completely a closed dead place. A fence was built outside, which was neither high nor short, and a ditch was dug outside, and antlers were placed to repel horses.

The crane approached the rudder of Yunyan slightly, and suddenly fell as if it had hit a stone. Zhao Xiao opened his eyes and found that the entire Yunyan rudder was protected by a forbidden formation that was invisible to the naked eye, somewhat similar to the original barrier of the Iron Gong Ancestral Hall, which could isolate the invasion and attack from the outside world.

"What do you think of Zhao Fu?" General Wei asked.

"It's hard to attack." Zhao Xiao frowned and shook his head: "I see that this place was not originally a bandit village, but an abandoned sect dojo, and Chiyun only used the forbidden formation left by his predecessors to protect the remnants of the defeated generals.

This forbidden formation is activated with the help of the operation of the leylines, and ordinary crossbows are difficult to break, unless they can bring in flying stone carts and ballistas, and bombard them in turn at any cost, they may be able to make a flaw. As for breaking the formation with spells......"

Zhao Xiao glanced at Luo Xixian, and the other party asked, "Why don't I try it?" ”

"Forget it, don't take the risk." Zhao Xiao said.

General Wei said steadily: "There is really no need to be impatient now. This place is in the mountains and forests, and it is inconvenient to move stone carts and ballistas, but I see that there are many remnants of soldiers gathered inside, and there is no food and rice to hoard, and people can starve to death in a few days. Set up camp here and fight them out! If Zhao Fuyi is free......"

Before the words fell, the sound of wind and thunder was heard from a very high altitude, and everyone looked up, and saw a figure with a deep-clothed crane crested through the thick clouds and flew down quickly.

"It's Liang Guoshi!" Zhao Xiao's eyesight is excellent, and as soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a commotion among the officials and soldiers.

However, Zhao Huang was also a little surprised, why did Liang Guoshi change back to the appearance of this high-ranking official in the court with a deep coat and a crown? Could it be that the main body is still chasing and killing the swordsman, so he sent a clone to help?

The soldiers in the Yunyan rudder were also aware of it, and for a while they were in turmoil, some people shot bows and arrows into the sky in despair, and Sang Huazi led the remaining monks to immediately go to strengthen the forbidden formation.

I saw Liang Tao raise his hand and sacrifice a small jade seal, the finger changed, the jade seal became larger in an instant, and the breath was like the size of a mountain peak, and it was blatantly crushed!

The jade seal collided head-on with the forbidden formation, and the strong impact spread out in all directions, stirring up sand and dust.

With just one blow, Sang Huazi and the others felt that their souls were violently shaken, and they still couldn't help pushing their true qi and maintaining the ban without collapse.

And Liang Tao was not in a hurry, his sleeves were raised, and the purple qi clouds on the left and right accumulated into the sky, and dozens of thunderbolts shot down in an instant, each of which was like a sharp cone nailed into the ban. Some of the Chiyun Monks below were really angry, either vomiting blood, or fainting, and the forbidden formation quickly weakened.

"All demons turn into dust, town!"

Liang Tao said loudly, the jade seal was like Yue, ruthlessly detained, and the forbidden enchantment was broken!

It was as if a huge colorless glazed cover was cracked and shattered, the inner qi and spirit were chaotic and agitated, the wind and thunder were soaring, and the generals of Yunyan Helm below fell down one after another, Sang Huazi and others were also impacted, and the arrow tower outside also collapsed nearly half.

"Attack!"

Seeing this, General Wei did not hesitate to order an attack, Luo Xixian drew his sword and mounted his horse, and personally led the elite infantry cavalry to rush into the Yunyan rudder, and slaughtered in a big way.

Sang Huazi was bleeding from his seven orifices, and he still had to resist to the end, but before he could cast a spell, he was beheaded by the oncoming Luo Xixian with a sword aura.

With a last moment of unwilling gaze, his head rolled to the ground, and then he was kicked away by the horseshoe man.

……

By the time Zhao Xiao entered the Yunyan Helm, the battle was over, and all he could see was the bloodstained ground. In the distance, the soldiers were picking up the corpses, pushing the remaining surviving thieves one by one to the edge of the trench and beheading them, and then lifting their heads to form a capital view.

General Wei was standing in front of Liang Tao at this time, and was whispering, Liang Tao seemed impatient, brushed his sleeves and scolded two sentences, and then flew away.

"What's going on?" Zhao Xiao looked at Liang Tao and flew away.

General Wei looked around at the devastation everywhere, and the scorching smell of burning corpses could be heard from afar, and he frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Liang Guoshi has lost that faceless swordsman." ”

Luo Xixian remembered the situation just now, and said in surprise: "With Liang Guoshi's cultivation power, can't he deal with that demon?" ”

General Wei shook his head: "I didn't ask specifically, Liang Guoshi is angry." Zhao Fu, what do you think? ”

Zhao Xiao replied, "The prayer ritual I originally envisioned was to use the power of the mountains and rivers of Xingluo County to suppress the qi of calamity. Out of Starfall County, I'm afraid the effect will be greatly reduced. At the beginning, Liang Guoshi fought with the demon, and this faceless swordsman seemed to have used the method of shrinking the land to escape. If you escape from Starfall County, it's hard to say. ”

"The method of shrinking the land?" Luo Xixian was puzzled: "With Liang Guoshi's ability, can't he cast a spell to lock the leylines and prevent them from escaping?" ”

Zhao Xiao asked rhetorically: "If the leylines are blocked, how will the ritual still work?" In fact, the prayer ritual was almost destroyed by Yang Liujun at the beginning, and Liang Guoshi had to support the operation of the ritual for a short time, and it was difficult to complete the work. It was to take advantage of this gap to let the faceless swordsman escape. ”

General Wei sighed: "There is no end to the trouble now. Even Liang Guoshi can't hold it, I'm afraid that this divine sword will become a hidden worry for the future of my Huaxu Kingdom. If you let other countries get the help of the sword...... I can't imagine it. ”

……

Liang Tao, whose face was like a crown of jade and a purple robe and jade crown, flicked his fingers lightly, and the doppelganger of the deep-clothed crane crown in front of him turned into a paper figure, which was included in his sleeve.

Raising his eyes to look at the inner wall of the mountain's belly full of confused sword marks, the surrounding caves collapsed and collapsed, and the sword-casting platform was covered with cobweb-like fine cracks, and the Kunlun jade as large as the pedestal was completely invalid, and a layer of glowing stone slag with exhausted gas was laid nearby, no longer red and scorching, a bleak scene of cold and cold furnace.

"In order to forge the divine sword, I did not hesitate to exhaust the pure qi that I had cultivated for many years, and destroyed a good blessed land immortal mansion like this, did I not want others to find out the clues?" Liang Tao sneered: "Legend has it that Yunyan Peak has been inherited since a hundred years ago, and now it seems inevitable. ”

Liang Tao flicked his fingers and emitted a little flying light, which immediately illuminated the mountainside, and a vague figure appeared in the light, which seemed to be far away and near, and it was difficult to distinguish.

Just as Liang Tao was about to urge the spell again and get a glimpse of the past, the sword marks on the inner wall around him suddenly gave birth to wisps of sword qi, and in an instant, thousands of sword qi rolled angrily, breaking the spell, intending to kill Liang Tao in one fell swoop!

Liang Guoshi was not in a hurry, a jade seal was sacrificed high, and the four walls were like copper walls and iron walls, allowing the sword qi to fall like rain.

"Forming a formation, is it expected that I will find Yunyan Peak?" Liang Tao raised his sleeves lightly, the purple qi cloud accumulated into the sky, and countless thunderbolts shot out, breaking the formation hidden in the sword marks completely, and the peak of Yunyan Peak also trembled, and the gravel rolled down.

When silence returned to the inside of the mountain, Liang Tao stood with his hands in his hands, not angry but laughing: "If you are really an enemy, even if you are a master of other countries, why bother with me finding evidence?" Such a method shows that the person who planned to forge the sword was in Huaxu, and he might still be in a high position. ”

Liang Tao walked out of the mountainside slowly, facing the cold wind and blowing up his clothes. The Gangfeng ban around Yunyan Peak has long been gone, and looking at the vast sea of clouds, this national teacher also feels that everything in the world is in full view, and he swept away a lot of anger in his heart.

At this time, the Sigui mirror flew out of the sleeve, and the appearance of Liang Leopard's helmet appeared on the mirror: "Big brother...... Hey? How did you change back to your original form? ”

"That doppelganger was beheaded by Yang Liujun, and this fang's cultivation is not bad." Liang Tao said: "It's a pity, this time I didn't get the divine sword, the swordsman fled into the Xuan Netherworld to hide, I chased for many days, but was stopped by the heroine of the Nine Shadows." ”

"Those mothers-in-law in Nine Hidden Snow Valley?" Liang Leopard said angrily: "Could it be that they also colluded with Chiyundu?" ”

"Not really." Liang Tao shook his head: "The Nine Hidden Snow Valley has always been far away from the hustle and bustle, even if the cultivators come to worship the mountain, the female cultivators in the inner middle school do not have a good face. I have no grudges against them, and the fierce and monstrous Xuan Ju back then was just forcing the Nine Shadows Snow Valley to close the valley to protect itself.

I think it was the swordsman who launched the sword qi, which caused the vigilance of the heroine of the Nine Shadows, and met me as soon as she went out, and she started to expel me without saying a word. As a result, I lost the whereabouts of the swordsman. ”

"A bunch of crazy babes!" Liang Bao scolded.

"You took the initiative to find me, could it be that there is a war in the flood rejection pass?" Liang Tao asked.

"On the contrary, everyone who has a bear country has retreated!" Liang Bao said: "The spies I arranged in Youxiong Country sent news that the emperor seems to have broken out in the palace change, and the court and China want all troops to return to the cantonment area, and they are not allowed to provoke the border without permission." ”

……

There was a lot of thunder in the sky, and the rain was abundant in midsummer, making the roads in Xingluo County muddy and difficult to walk.

From the time I came to Xingluo County to now, it has only been about half a year. Although there were ups and downs in the situation of suppressing bandits, in the end the situation was successfully stabilized.

However, at this time, there are still some hidden dangers that have not yet been resolved, perhaps because Yang Liujun was killed, resulting in the leaders of the Chiyun Capital, so that when the official army captured the city, a considerable number of thieves chose to disarm and surrender in a panic and confusion.

In addition, many people in Gaoling and Changxia counties and townships were also very wary of the officials and soldiers, after all, they were all regarded as "thieves and people." Even when the officials and soldiers came to requisition grain, rice, cloth, and silk, they were killed, causing trouble in the city.

"Kill!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liang Tao, who was darkly clothed, sat on the main seat and stared at the many thieves in the open space outside the tent: "These thieves and the people who are thieves are not left, and they are all killed!" ”

"Master Kuni." General Wei bowed his head: "In order to stabilize the city as soon as possible, the last general promised not to kill those who disarmed, but now he hastily breaks the promise, I'm afraid it will ......."

Zhao Xiao followed Luo Xixian to stand in the tent, he looked at the many thieves outside kneeling in the rain, stripped of their clothes, revealing their skinny bodies, most of them hung their heads in despair and despair, and a few unruly held their heads high, as if waiting to be added by knives and axes at any time.

In the distance, there were many ordinary villagers who looked like ordinary villagers, who were also pushed to the execution ground, the old and the young hugged each other tightly, tears and rain fell together, and the sound of babies crying was disturbing.

"The Red Cloud Chaos Party has always bewitched the people with evil words, and the poison is very deep, if you don't use thunderous means to cut off the root cause, if it becomes chaotic again, what should you do General Wei?" Liang Tao's tone was cold.

General Wei didn't dare to answer, there was a dead silence in the big tent, and just as Liang Tao was about to order the execution, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but step out.

"Master Guoshi, the juniors think this move is inappropriate!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the monks in the tent and the Cao officials in the army were focused on Zhao Xiao, and even Luo Xixian was shocked, wanting to raise his hand to pull him back, but he didn't dare to move.

"Zhao Xiao, what are you going to say?" Liang Tao asked.

"Please forgive the younger generation for bluntly saying that the bandits in Xingluo County are not only bewitched by the chaotic party, but also because the former county guard did not care for the people's power and expropriated violently, which caused the people's hearts to be stupid, so that the chaotic party had a chance to take advantage of it." Zhao Xiao lowered his head and arched his hand, and his words popped out of his mouth almost without thinking: "Xingluo County has been plagued by bandits for a long time and all industries are depressed, and it is time to rest with the people. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Xiao secretly had thoughts of regret, his heart was beating violently under his chest, and his ears were thumping, bowing his head and not daring to face Liang Tao, the other party's gaze could almost penetrate him.
