Chapter 13: Shock
A year later, on the city wall of Yangguan. Ye Ziyu wore a white robe and danced in the wind, fighting on the battlefield for a year, and the last trace of childishness on the young man's face completely faded, replaced by fortitude and decisiveness.
The barbarian army launched hundreds of battles in a year, large and small, and Ye Ziyu's cultivation in the process of fighting with the enemy has also improved by leaps and bounds, and now he has broken through to the realm of the third layer of qi refining, and it is not far from the fourth layer of qi refining.
Moreover, Qingyang Jue's cultivation is also becoming more and more sophisticated, and the trace of pure white yang qi in his body has grown to the size of a little thumb, and it is entrenched in his dantian, and other cyan true qi does not dare to approach within ten inches. The repeated heat between his eyebrows is also constantly nourishing his body, this effect has become even more obvious after he broke through the third layer of qi refining half a year ago, and now he can even compete with the barbarian warriors with his physical body alone, compared to Yu Qiyong, who is proficient in alchemy, his physical body is as strong as ever.
Ye Ziyu was looking north at the barbarian army tent in the distance, there were more than 10,000 casualties on both sides in the past year, but the barbarian army had no intention of withdrawing troops, but more and more barbarian soldiers in the rear gathered here, with a posture of not breaking the sun and vowing not to give up.
At this moment, Ye Ziyu was thinking about another thing, three months ago he received a letter from Zhao Xingping from the capital, which said that now the battle between the right minister and the national teacher is becoming more and more intense, and the attitude of the two sides towards the barbarian army is diametrically opposed.
And as a general of the right faction, he naturally can't be left alone, and the battle between the two sides has escalated to the point of clear swords and guns, and the letter also mentions that there will be a team of Qincha to Yangguan soon, so he must be cautious at that time.
Ye Ziyu rubbed his swollen head, these deceitful temple struggles were not what he was good at, but now that he was in them, he had to think about it more. Compared with the temple dispute, Ye Ziyu is more concerned about another thing.
He had mentioned to Yu Qiyong that the traitors in Yangguan, Yu Qiyong did make great efforts to screen it after that battle, but he had no clue, because Guan Nei knew that Yu Qiyong would lead the generals to meet the Qin Cha that day, and there would be no more than two palms, and all of them were old brothers who had followed Yu Qiyong for many years.
The clues were basically broken when the matter was found here, but Ye Ziyu thought of another possibility, since it was not the Yangguan guard who collaborated with the enemy, could it be a certain high-ranking official in the temple of Cai Guo? Privately betrayed this important military information to the barbarians.
Now the biggest object of suspicion is the national teacher, he advocated peace talks in the temple, and the Wu Xingbing in the last Qin mission team was his person, and he had the motives and conditions, but these Ye Ziyu were not stupid enough to tell Yu Qiyong and let him investigate the national teacher.
That national teacher is above 10,000 people under Cai Guoding, and the party henchmen are all over the government and the opposition army, how can a Yu Qiyong and him Ye Ziyu be able to overthrow, what can be done now is to improve cultivation and be careful against the national teacher.
At the end of the letter, a sentence was added: "Brother Ye, when will you come back?" Le'er misses you very much. Ye Ziyu thought of Liang Leer's playful and cute appearance, her heart warmed slightly, and a touch of soft color appeared on her face. I also have a little more fetters in this world.
Just as his thoughts drifted away, a soldier's respectful voice came from behind him: "Lord Ye, General Yu has sent you to the White Tiger Hall immediately to listen to orders, and there is something important to discuss with you." ”
Ye Ziyu came back to his senses and responded: "Got it, I'll go see General Yu." ”
In the Yangguan General's Mansion, in the White Tiger Hall, Yu Qiyong's face was very ugly, at this time he was sitting in the guest seat, and sitting on the main seat in the middle was actually a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, wearing an official robe, with a trace of impatience between his eyebrows, he opened his mouth and asked: "General Yu, how long will that kid arrive?" ”
Before Yu Qiyong could answer, a white-robed young man walked in outside the hall, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a faint bloody aura on his body.
Ye Ziyu was just about to clasp his fists and salute Yu Qiyong, but the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat asked coldly: "You are Ye Ziyu?" ”
Ye Ziyu didn't know who he was, and replied lightly: "It's down." ”
Unexpectedly, the man directly waved his hand and shouted: "Take it." Behind the screen, two third-layer qi refiners jumped out, and they pounced on Ye Ziyu and wanted to lock Ye Ziyu, everything happened too fast, and Yu Qiyong, who was sitting on the side, even if he saw too much wind and waves, he didn't react for a while.
When Ye Ziyu came in, he felt that there was coldness in this person's eyes when he looked at him, and the true qi in his whole body was already ready to go. The two third-level Qi Refiners were holding a thick chain in their hands, and the chain was full of spiritual light, and it was a good spiritual weapon at a glance.
Ye Ziyu didn't dare to be careless, as soon as his mind moved, Qingyang Jin wrapped around his fists, and punched the two of them, and the two saw that Ye Ziyu did not retreat but advanced, and hurriedly waved the chain in his hand to meet Ye Ziyu's fist.
The chain collided with the fist, Ye Ziyu was actually shocked back by the chain, and he took more than ten steps back at once, his fists were numb, and he stared at the chain to reveal a different color.
Yu Qiyong, who was on the side, finally reacted at this time, and was directly across the three of them, shouting at the middle-aged man on the seat and asking, "Master Zhang, what are you doing?" Ye Ziyu is my Yangguan general, why do you want to take it down indiscriminately. ”
Master Zhang sneered, "Didn't you see this spirit chain? According to the investigation, Ye Ziyu fornicated with the barbarian army and betrayed the intelligence with bad intentions, and the national teacher and the right minister have already made His Majesty known, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive, so I specially ordered someone to take him down and send him to the capital to be punished. General Yu, are you trying to stop this official from doing an errand? ”
Yu Qiyong was shocked when he heard this, and Ye Ziyu's face also showed a look of surprise, the right minister and the national teacher actually agreed to deal with him, what has happened in the capital in the past few months?
Suddenly, a transmission interrupted Ye Ziyu's thoughts, and only Yu Qiyong said: "You go quickly, this chain of spirit chains is not trivial, there is absolutely no resistance under the sixth layer of qi refining, it is the treasure that the national teacher personally refined to lock the qi refiner." ”
Master Zhang shouted: "You guys don't hurry up, General Yu will help me get the thief." The two qi refiners didn't care about Yu Qiyong, and rushed straight at Ye Ziyu with the chain, but Ye Ziyu didn't dare to touch the chain.
So a ball of green sun flame was condensed in the palm of his hand and burned towards the chain, but unexpectedly, the previously indestructible green sun flame was extinguished after a while after touching the chain, and it didn't even leave the slightest trace on the chain.
Master Zhang sneered: "This is a high-grade spiritual weapon, how can your small third-layer qi refining be able to compete, and you can't quickly catch it." ”
As he spoke, the two qi refiners actually directly infused the spirit into the spirit chain, and after a while, the spirit chain shone brightly, and they actually attacked Ye Ziyu directly, wanting to tie him up.
Seeing this, Ye Ziyu hurriedly dodged and dodged, this lock spirit chain actually directly locked his qi machine, and chased the spirit chain wherever he hid, Ye Ziyu pulled out the long sword on his waist and slashed horizontally, the blade was immediately broken, but there was not even the slightest trace left on the chain, this high-grade spirit weapon was really extraordinary.
At the critical moment, suddenly the spirit chain was slashed away by someone's sword, and the two qi refiners who controlled the spirit chain immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood. Yu Qiyong finally made a move, and when he saw Ye Ziyu in a daze, he shouted: "Don't leave quickly." Ye Ziyu didn't talk nonsense at this time, turned around and ran outside Chaoyang Pass.
Lord Zhang on the main seat looked at Ye Ziyu's back and smiled faintly, and did not send anyone to chase after him, just sat quietly on the main seat, looking confident.
After Ye Ziyu ran out of the general's mansion, he swept towards the south side of the city gate, from time to time to see if there were any pursuers behind him, but he didn't see anyone coming out of the general's mansion, just when he was puzzled, a strong wind hit behind him, Ye Ziyu didn't have time to dodge in the air, so he had to condense Qingyang Jin on his back, and slapped it down, Ye Ziyu's body suddenly fell to the ground like a broken kite.
A large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced by the palm just now, and the pain made it difficult for him to even get up from the ground.
He raised his eyes and saw an old man in a gray robe standing in front of him, full of restrained momentum, but judging from the power of the palm just now, it was actually a master of the sixth layer of qi refining at the same level as Zhao Xingping, and it was this old man who had just attacked him. He endured the severe pain in his body, and secretly mobilized the pure white flame the size of his thumb at the dantian to gather in his left palm.
The old man looked at Ye Ziyu, who couldn't get up on the ground, and sneered: "Why don't you run and keep running?" After speaking, he wanted to reach out to grab Ye Ziyu, but at the moment when the old man's palm was about to touch Ye Ziyu's body, Ye Ziyu, who had already fallen to the ground and couldn't get up again, actually turned over and sent it to the old man's chest with a palm.
The old man sneered, and just then he noticed that Ye Ziyu was mobilizing the true qi in his body and wanted to fight the trapped beast, but it was only a small three-layer qi refining body, and he was seriously injured, he could easily resist it with a little release of body protection qi, and his eyes were full of contempt, just like seeing an ant dying and struggling.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ziyu's palm did not lag in the slightest when it came into contact with his body protection qi, like the sun melting ice and snow, and at this time, when the old man sensed that something was wrong and wanted to dodge, it was too late.
There seemed to be a pure white aura in the middle of that palm, and before it touched his skin, it had already made the old man's chest feel as if it was being squeezed by gravity, and his face turned red in an instant.
Then the moment the white gas imprinted on his chest. "Bang" There was a sound of bones breaking, and the old man spurted out a mouthful of blood and grabbed Ye Ziyu's left hand with both hands, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he said word by word: "Hao, then, angry?" ”
