Zhao Xiao held a sharp axe, silently recited the mantra, and then sprayed a mouthful of magic water on the blade of the axe, found the right position and slashed down, easily cutting off the leg and shin.

Looking at the gradually coagulated blood lipids, Zhao Xiao's face did not change color, took a delicate silver spoon, dug out the bone marrow, put it in a colorless glass cup, and then poured in the pre-prepared runic water, watching the water gradually turn from ochre red to yellow and green, colorful, revealing a little weird.

"Sure enough, the demon has changed deeply." Zhao Xiao frowned, poured the liquid into the brazier, and then looked at the wolf-headed monster on the board who had been dismantled and dissected.

"Do the math...... It must be the third time I've encountered these wolf-headed monsters, right? Zhao Xiao thought back and said: "First the young master of the Dai family in Chengyang County, and then the assassination of the Dongsheng Capital Treasure Pavilion, there is also the participation of this kind of wolf-headed monster. ”

"You seem to have forgotten that one more time, you just didn't see it with your own eyes." Lingxiao reminded.

Zhao Xiao immediately understood, turned around and rummaged in the bamboo basket, then scratched his head and said, "I seem to have landed in the Huaiying Pavilion with that wolf-headed human body. ”

At the beginning of Xingluo County, Zhao Huang was also ordered by General Wei to search for demons and evil in the countryside. Among them, there are demons who can manipulate walking corpses, and even evoke the corpses of Ichimoku who have been dead for many years, which were broken by Zhao Xiao.

According to Tie Gong's relay, the demonic description and behavior are similar to those of these wolf-headed monsters at the moment, but the magic ability is much more sophisticated, and in the end, he couldn't catch and kill them.

"The assassins in the Jackpot should have been from the same clan as these wolf-headed monsters now." Zhao Xiao pulled out the steel needle nailed to the back of the corpse, put it on the candle flame and burned it for a while, watching the color change on the surface of the steel needle, frowning and shaking his head: "Qi enters the spinal cord and changes the shape of the bones, this is the effect of the Lu Zhuang Bone Pill is so violent." ”

"It is extremely difficult to refine the Wai Dan that has changed the shape of the corpse, and it is impossible for the entire tribe to consume." Ling Xiao said: "And let people change into the appearance of beasts and monsters, this kind of elixir may not be refined by ordinary people." ”

Zhao Xiao looked at the table next to him and looked at the ribs of the other wolf-headed monsters: "There are faint traces of rapid growth of flesh and bones here. In this way, it seems that the pill has taken effect and changed its appearance almost within a few days. It must be painful to tear the original muscles, bones, skin and flesh like this. ”

"Abandoning one's body and becoming a beast is not a pity for the death of this generation." Ling Xiao said.

Zhao Xiao sighed: "If you don't suffer great setbacks and suffering, why do you want to become like this?" ”

Removing the pile of wolf-headed monsters, Zhao Xiao carried the heavy headless corpse of Sherroxiao to the table, washed his hands with clean water, and then began to cut and axe again.

"Deacon Zhao, the elders in the city have come to pay a visit." He Dangguan confessed outside the house.

"Well, can't you give me a little free?" Zhao Huang was making a lot of fun, but he had to put down the utensils in his hand, change his clothes and freshen up before going out to meet the guests.

Zhao Huang led his troops to recapture Dantu County, and only after inquiring did he know that the Jiuli Kingdom was plundering in the city, and in order to perform spells, he even took pregnant women and babies to perform blood sacrifices.

The people of Dantu County hated the Jiuli barbarians so much that the corpses of the defeated soldiers that Zhao Xiao had previously let people bury were dug up by the local people overnight, and the bones were broken and ashes scattered, and some children even kicked their heads for fun.

And because Cao Zuo, the original official of Dantu County, was almost killed, Zhao Xiao had to temporarily stay as an acting government minister and wait for the county government to transfer personnel. Recuperate the wounded and rest the soldiers in the county seat, and by the way, rectify the logistics and military transfer.

Zhao Huang did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and the local people were naturally very grateful, and after a few days of rest, there were fathers and villagers who came to comfort him.

After dealing with these entertainments, refusing the slave maid sent by the other party, Zhao Huang was about to continue fiddling with the corpse, trying to find out how the muscles and bones of the person who had been given by the divine power had changed.

As a result, before he could be idle, a soldier hurriedly reported: "Most of the soldiers and horses are approaching in the east of the city!" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi frowned and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"Look at the flag, it should be the Gaoping Public Office."

"Gao Pinggong? What has he done here? Zhao Huang was disgusted and ordered each battalion to go to the city.

Captain Chen couldn't help asking: "Since it's Gao Pinggong who is here, you don't have to let everyone prepare for battle, right?" ”

"What if it's an enemy impersonation? Do you dare to open the city to greet you? Zhao Xiao refuted, and the other party didn't even dare to say it.

However, when Zhao Huang came to the top of the city, he saw the soldiers and horses that came slowly outside the city, and he knew that the person who came was not an enemy army, a young general with a bright hood and a bright red cloak, jumped forward and pointed at Zhao Huang with a horse whip in his hand:

"Who is in the city? Seeing the banner of Gaopinggong, why don't you go out of the city to greet you? ”

Zhao Huang sneered: "I am Zhao Huang, the Marquis of Zhenming, I don't know why Gao Ping Gong sent His Excellency here?" ”

"Oh? You are the Marquis of Zhenming? The young general replied, "When Gao Pinggong heard that the Jiuli barbarians had attacked Dantu County, he was worried that General Wei would not have time to deal with it, so he sent me to recapture the city. I never thought that you, a jackal, would be the first to get there. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiao just smiled faintly. But at this moment, there are still a number of captains and military officials and monks on the tower of the city, who have experienced the killing with Zhao Xiao, and they know how hard Zhao Huang has been recently. Even if he was seriously injured and bedridden, he had to listen to the scout's military reports every day, arrange for the transfer of grain and grass, and personally read the documents sent from Pujia Pass.

How can these people tolerate other people's insults to Zhao Xiao, if it weren't for Zhao Xiao's effective control, I am afraid that someone on the spot would open their mouths and scold back.

"I haven't asked for your identity yet." Zhao Xiao asked, leaning against the battlements.

"I am the son of Gao Pinggong, Yang Tai'an!" The young general shouted, "Since Dantu County has been recaptured, why can't you stay?" ”

"Most of the big and small officials in Dantu County Cao died, and as a long history, I naturally have the right to lead one party on my behalf." Zhao Xiao said.

"Then you can get out." Yang Tai'an said loudly: "I am the new governor of Dantu County, why don't you open the city gate quickly?" ”

"Is there a letter seal?" Zhao Xiao asked unhurriedly.

Yang Tai'an was extremely impatient: "What do you know? My father has written to the lord of the country, and he will soon be able to appoint me as the commander of Dantu County, but I came to take up the post a few days earlier. ”

"If there is no imperial court seal and appointment documents, I will not be able to hand over the county seat." Zhao Xiao waved his hand and said: "Now that the war is not over, Yang Gongzi leads his troops and horses, which is easy for people to misjudge the military situation. Please turn around quickly, I can act as if nothing happened. ”

"Get out of here, don't talk so much nonsense!" Yang Tai'an shouted violently: "Relying on a little merit, you are so disrespectful and disrespectful to the monarch, you Zhao Huang really owe a lesson!" ”

"Enough!" saw Ding Muqiu jump out, raised his hand and shook the purple silk, turned into a long rope to tie Yang Tai'an, and directly tied him away.

Yang Tai'an was also guarded by monks behind him, and when he saw this situation, he was about to make a move, and many monks in the city also sacrificed various magic weapons together, cooperating with each other, and easily forced the monks who intended to rescue Yang Tai'an to retreat.

Ding Muqiu moved quickly, threw Yang Tai'an in front of Zhao Xiao, and said, "Marquis Zhenming, I handed over this offended person to you!" Whether you fight or kill, you have the final say! ”

Zhao Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, Ding Muqiu couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, Yang Tai'an was unscrupulous, this result was actually expected by him.

"Young Master Yang, the son of a daughter can't sit down, why do you come out to lead the troops to take risks?" Zhao Xiao's tone was gentle.

Yang Tai'an was bruised by the fall, and was about to scold, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that there were either fierce martial artists in armor and holding knives around him, or cold-eyed monks with their heads held high, and they suddenly lost their courage.

"Y-What are you going to do?" Yang Tai'an insisted and said: "Do you know what the crime is to attack and kill the prince?" Don't follow Zhao Xiao to make mistakes! ”

But no one was bluffed into words, as if as long as Zhao Xiao gave an order, he could divide Yang Tai'an's body with a knife.

"Young Master Yang, go back." Zhao Xiao sighed: "Even if Gao Ping really wrote to the lord of the country and appointed you as the commander of Dantu County, but you didn't have a document to seal the letter, and you came suddenly with a private soldier, and if you were someone else, you could completely treat you as an army pretended to be an enemy country, and raid from the side of the road without saying a word." ”

Yang Tai'an was stunned when he heard this, and Zhao Xiao continued: "Even if you know afterwards that you are the son of a prince, it is a big deal to blame Jiuli Kingdom. Yang Gongzi, don't forget, Dantu County was captured by a Qiqi attack by a Jiuli State soldier, and it is not impossible for another army and horse to attack and kill you halfway. ”

On the side, Lieutenant Zhang snickered secretly, in order to hand over a batch of military supplies to Chiyundu, Zhao Huang even faked the battle of the robbery of the Jiuli Kingdom.

If you really want to do anything to frame him, this Marquis Zhenming can be regarded as handy, and he is by no means as polite as he seems on the surface.

"And." Zhao Xiao picked up Yang Tai'an and reminded: "Yang Gongzi's move, if someone with a heart takes the opportunity to write a letter to impeach, claiming that Yang Gongzi you set troops in the countryside and abuse the people, wouldn't it cause trouble for Gao Pinggong?" ”

Yang Tai'an was speechless by Zhao Xiao, who patted him on the shoulder and asked the soldiers to send him down.

After Yang Tai'an left, Ding Muqiu was still insufficient: "Zhenminghou, you are too soft-hearted, this kind of gentleman should teach a good lesson!" ”

Zhao Xiao shook his head: "After all, Gao Pinggong is the head of the country, and I don't think I have the guts." ”

"I am a cultivator of immortals, but I want to have a clear mind and a good mind, and sometimes I can't take care of a lot." Ding Muqiu said bluntly in public: "Let me see him again, and hang him up and whip three hundred lashes directly!" ”

Zhao Xiao touched his beard to hide his embarrassment. I thought that Ding Feiyan, the first seat of Mingxia Pavilion, was easy-going and calm, why was Ding Muqiu so impulsive? is also glad that he is in charge of these pavilion monks, otherwise if he allows Ding Muqiu to act casually, I am afraid that like Luo Xixian, he will kill Yang Tai'an on the spot.

"Marquis Zhenming, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to let Yang Tai'an leave like this." Liang Hui reminded: "As far as I know, Yang Tai is violent and violent, and he will definitely complain to Gao Ping after he goes back, and he will slander you a lot." ”

Zhao Xiao was thoughtful, but still waved his hand and said: "Forget it, whatever he says, it's really not appropriate to make extraneous branches at the moment." Pack up your things today, and you take the two battalions of Wuji and turn back to Pujia Pass first. The men sent by the county should arrive tomorrow. ”

……

In the camp of Jiuli Kingdom, Wu Zhen discussed the use of troops with the left and right, but suddenly someone hurriedly entered the account.

"Lord Wu Zhen, Fang Caixu has a monk who flew in and threw this thing outside the camp!" The herald carried a bulging bag of marijuana, his expression was strange, and he stopped talking.

"Nonsense! How can anything thrown by the enemy be brought into the account at will? If there is some kind of charm hidden in the tent, will it not kill the people in the tent? One of the witches scolded.

Wu Zhen raised his hand to stop everyone from speaking, his expression was serious, and he signaled, "Open." ”

The herald opened the sack, and dozens of heads immediately rolled all over the ground, including human heads, wolf heads, some intact, some completely destroyed.

"Sherro?! And also...... Is that the Mengqu on the back of the cang? Everyone in the tent stood up in shock, and successively recognized the important members of the White Fang, Cangbei, and Wuteng Village, and their faces were not much better than the pile of heads on the ground.

Wu Zhen's face was cold, he raised his hand to take a false shot, a letter flew out of the bag, opened it and flipped through:

"Your country has gathered hundreds of warriors and 3,000 elite soldiers, trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed dangers, invaded borders, invaded cities, killed people for pleasure, tortured and killed women and children to sacrifice evil spirits, and everywhere they passed, there was a cry of spiritual sorrow. I was ordered to crusade, and several battles were defeated, and I was afraid that the mountains and rivers would be far away, and the wild geese would be difficult to reach, so that the kings would be ignorant. Now return the heads of your warriors, and hope that all the monarchs will take it as a warning and cherish themselves - Zhao Huang, the Marquis of Huaxu Kingdom, will worship him. ”

Everyone in the tent circulated the letters one after another, and some people read the letters and threw them on the ground, scolding: "Hua Xu Xiaoer, is there no one who deceives me Jiuli?!" ”

"Return the head, does he think that Hua Xu Guosheng is in his hands?"

"Attack! I can't retreat anymore, I must break through the Pujia Pass and sacrifice this Zhao Huang blood to the gods! ”

"Alright." Wu Zhen discouraged the crowd from making noise, and he flicked his head with a wooden stick, as if looking for someone.

"What about Fei Zozao? As the leader of the army, why was his head not returned? Someone asked.

"Could it be that you have surrendered to Huaxu Kingdom?"

"How dare he?!"

"Fei Zuosheng was originally a general of Huaxu Kingdom, and when he saw that the war was unfavorable, he surrendered again, what's so strange about this?"

"How could Hua Xu Guo tolerate such a repetitive villain? Even if he surrendered, he would inevitably die! ”

"Now that this battle has been lost, it is impossible for Fei Zuosheng to survive alone." It was Wu Zhen who came to the conclusion that "Zhao Huang will not let him go, and he will not let go of himself, it is nothing more than dying in Huaxu Kingdom." The so-called fox dead head mound is roughly like this. ”

"Lord Wu Zhen, are you taking pity on Fei Zuosheng?" Someone snorted coldly: "I said back then, this person can never be trusted, even if he is not a spy of Huaxu Kingdom, he is not from the Jiuli tribe, how can you expect this kind of person to lead troops to fight?" ”

"That's it! It's good now, after dragging all the elite masters of the three tribes to death, even if he escapes back to Jiuli Kingdom, the high priest will not be able to spare him! ”

Wu Zhen was silent, and at this time a dragonfly flew into the tent, Wu Zhen seemed to feel something, raised his hand to catch it, closed his eyes for a moment, and sighed: "Miao Suluo escaped." ”

"That Gu lady in the Valley of Hundred Flowers? How did she escape? ”

"She has no shortage of hidden and changing Gu techniques." Wu Zhen said: "She mentioned that Sherro Xiao strayed into the enemy's trap, and she was arranged to break out of the city with Fei Zuosheng. As a result, there were too many enemy troops, and seeing that the situation was irreversible, she abandoned the army and fled, and is now walking alone through the mountains and forests. ”

"The defeated army fled the general, and Miao Suluo can't let it go, so I'll ask her for the crime!"

"Then you're going?" Wu Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, the other party was bluffing, where did he dare to provoke the strange Hundred Flowers Valley Lord. Wu Zhen sighed helplessly: "The war is tense, and we still have to prepare for a big plan, so don't make any extraneous things now." ”
