Chapter 182: Planning
"Wait, wait, the scholar in front of you waits."
Ning Caichen was just about to enter Lanruo Temple, when he heard the voice behind him, he suddenly stopped, and without him turning around to look, a figure had already flashed in front of him.
"You are?"
Ning Caichen was very sure that he didn't know this ragged man, "This brother, why did you stop me?" β
The strange man looked at Ning Caichen and looked up and down, "You scholar, don't you know that there are demons and ghosts in Lanruo Temple, how dare you enter?" β
Demons!
Ning Caichen looked at the strange man in front of him, and wanted to say something to him: Don't say it's a ghost, I've seen it all in the, have you ever seen the sun with a big sun, that man smashed it directly, the demon ghost is the same as a toy in people's hands, that scene, you can't watch more, you see too much, and I think everyone can play with demons and ghosts.
"This brother, I don't know where you heard that there are ghosts in Lanruo Temple, but that was a year ago, a year ago, there were already masters who appeared and cleaned up all the demons and ghosts here, and now Lanruo Temple has returned to calm, I just took a break for one night, no problem."
Well! No more demons!
This strange man was stunned when he heard this, and there was some disappointment in his eyes, he had just come down the mountain, and he was traveling through the rivers and lakes, wanting to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but there were a lot of folk rumors, but there were not many real demons and monsters, and there were no big demons and ghosts in his imagination.
Now that I look at it, I have met someone who understands, so did I run for nothing again?
Forget it, it's all here, it's also night, so let's rest in Lanruo Temple for one night.
"Since there are no more demons, let's go in."
Entering Lanruo Temple, the strange man sniffed, it was true that he didn't smell the breath of demons, and he was disappointed, but he was also cautious, and handed a piece of talisman paper to Ning Caichen.
γ
"Okay, meeting is fate, the poor road is the Kunlun Gate people know the autumn leaves, you keep this rune paper, maybe the demon went out to forage for food and has not come back, if you encounter danger, this rune paper can protect you, the poor road to sleep next to it, there is something to shout the poor road is."
Ning Caichen watched Zhiqiu Yiye leave, and felt strange, are all the people in Kunlun Sect like this, the bearded Yan Chixia I met last time seems to have such a temperament.
I forgot to ask them if they knew each other.
Night.
Whew!
In the Lanruo Temple, the cold wind is howling, and several figures appear in the Lanruo Temple, swaying with the wind, if someone comes out to pee, they will definitely shout.
"Ahh There are ghosts! β
Ning Caichen looked at the swaying white figures in the temple, and suddenly had no intention of urinating, aren't all the ghosts here removed, how can there be?
Ning Caichen shouted, but he also attracted those ghosts, and several white shadows rushed towards Ning Caichen.
"Ma Li, Ma Li, Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning!"
Just when Ning Caichen was about to be caught by the ghost, a voice came from behind him, and in the dark night, several runic fires were shot, and the ghost thing, which was still floating in the sky, was suddenly hit and fell directly to the ground.
"Dao Chief, help!"
Ning Caichen saw that it was Zhiqiu Yiye, and suddenly seemed to see a savior, this is a Kunlun Taoist, just like those people last time, he knows magic.
Zhiqiu Yiye entered with a spirit sword in his hand, and he was in touch with those ghosts.
"Strange, how come these guys don't have a ghost!"
"Definitely!"
Zhiqiu Yiye performed the immobilization technique, and a white shadow who wanted to attack him from behind was suddenly frozen, and Zhiqiu Yiye directly lifted the veil.
"Hmmm! You are human, not ghosts! No wonder I can't smell it, okay, dare to lie to me, I thought I really met a ghost. β
Seeing that these ghosts were actually pretending to be people, Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly became angry.
These people also didn't expect to meet such a powerful guy in the temple.
"Hmph, whether you are a human or a ghost, if you commit murder here, you are not a good person after all, so I will get rid of you first."
Zhiqiu Yiye is based on the concept that he can't catch the bad ghosts and can fight a few bad guys, so he started to do it.
"Stop!"
At this time, outside the temple, a voice suddenly came in, and the movements of Zhiqiu Yiye and those figures were suddenly interrupted, and Ning Caichen also hurriedly came behind Zhiqiu Yiye.
I saw a middle-aged man slowly appearing, followed by a figure familiar to Ning Caichen.
"Xiahou Hero!"
Ning Caichen couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the swordsman's appearance, a little surprised, he didn't want to meet Xiahou Jie again at this time of danger.
Xia Houjie also looked over and recognized Ning Caichen, feeling that this guy was definitely unlucky, and he could encounter some trouble every time.
"Brother, do you know them?"
Zhiqiu Yiye saw that Ning Caichen knew someone who came, and couldn't help asking, it was really the one who spoke just now, and his strength was not low, so that Zhiqiu Yiye didn't dare to do it without knowing friends or enemies.
"That swordsman is Xiahou Daxia, the last time I rested in Lanruo Temple, it was Xiahou Daxia and several other immortals who helped to get rid of the demons and ghosts, I don't want to meet Daxia again today."
The last demon was their go-getaway!
Zhiqiu Yiye looked at the person who came, and actually stepped forward directly to hug his fist, "The Kunlun Men people know that Qiu Yiye has seen two, I don't know what to call them?" β
Know the autumn leaves! Kunlunmen people!
Zhuge Wolong and Xiahou Jie were both a little surprised, and Xiahou Jie couldn't help but speak.
"You are also from Kunlun, do you know Yan Chixia's predecessors?"
Hearing this, Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly became happy, "This fellow Daoist knows Uncle Yan?" Do you know where Uncle Shi is? I haven't encountered it all the way, and if you can tell Uncle Yan's whereabouts, you will be grateful. β
Teacher!
Hearing the title of Zhiqiu Yiye, Xia Houjie also reluctantly regarded Zhiqiu Yiye as his own person.
"Senior Yan didn't contact us after he left last time, the young master may know, when you see the young master later, you ask yourself, Mr. Wolong, what should you do now?"
Wolong!
Hearing Xia Houjie's voice, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Mr. Wolong! You are Mr. Wolong! β
Two female voices suddenly came from behind Zhiqiu Yiye, and I saw those white shadows, they actually took off their disguises, led by two women, and behind them were eight men.
The two women took three steps and made two steps, and then they came to Zhuge Wolong's body, and arched their hands and said, "After loyalty, Fu Qingfeng (Fu Yuechi) visited Mr. Wolong." β
Ning Caichen looked at the figure headed by him, but he was a little stupid, that Fu Qingfeng's face was actually the same as the Xiao Qian he had seen before.
Xiahou Jie also noticed this, but this is all a trivial matter, there are many people who look the same in this world, not to mention that Nie Xiaoqian is already dead.
"You are Fu Tianqiu's daughter?"
Zhuge Wolong looked at Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, thinking back to Jia Le's words, he seemed to understand something.
After reading Sun Zi Chu's life and hearing about Yangzhou, Zhuge Wolong finally agreed to follow Sun Zi Chu temporarily, and then Jia Le asked him to take Xiahou Jie to this Lanruo Temple first, saying that there is the key to Sun Zi Chu winning Yangzhou.
"Senior, my father is Fu Tianqiu, my father was killed by a traitor, and now he is going to be taken to Kyoto to be beheaded, we will never allow my father to die innocently, so I will ambush here, I have already heard in advance, that brocade guard is escorting my father to here, the reason why we are pretending to be ghosts here is just that we don't want people to find out our details."
Fu Tianqiu!
Zhuge Wolong already understands everything.
Fu Tianqiu is not an ordinary person, he was originally the secretary of the military department of the great cadre, in charge of the military department of the great cadre, and he was in a high position, but since Cihang Pudu became a national teacher, and there was a fox spirit in the harem to charm the king, this whole great cadre has changed its taste, and a good loyal minister has become a disobedient minister, and he was directly demoted to Yangzhou.
Well, Fu Tianqiu was the general of the Yangzhou Prefecture Battalion before, well, it is the 30,000 soldiers and horses that are now controlled by Mu Guogong, and because Fu Tianqiu has already been a secretary of the military department, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s in the army, and now many generals of Daqian are Fu Tianqiu's people, even if Fu Tianqiu is picked up, an order can shake the entire military department of Daqian.
At this time, how could Zhuge Wolong not know that Jia Le was eyeing Fu Tianqiu, if he could pull Fu Tianqiu to Sun Zichu's side, then he would attack the world in the future, it would be like divine help, think about it, where Sun Zichu will fight in the future, the generals on the opposite side are Fu Tianqiu's former subordinates, if they are at a disadvantage, they can't say, if they are in an advantage, it is simply a direct persuasion, and the enemy can directly become a friendly army.
Not to mention the distance, just the proximity, grabbing the card of Fu Tianqiu, and the name of Sun Zichu himself, as well as the help of his teacher, it is simply a leap out of the two realms of civil and military.
With these two aspects, Sun Zichu's shortcomings of weak foundation are suddenly not obvious.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Wolong couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Jia Le, Sun Zi Chu probably didn't know that he hadn't left Guobei County yet, and Jia Le had already paved the road behind him for him.
It's so good to be born!
The Sun family's family background is really not good, and the reason why Zhuge Wolong is willing to stay is largely because of Jia Le.
"Lord Fu is a loyal minister of the country, and he really shouldn't end his life like this, but if you save him, Lord Fu will really be rebellious, do you think Lord Fu can agree?"
This is also a problem that Zhuge Wolong is concerned about, Fu Tianqiu is a well-known foolish loyalty, it is easy to save, and it is difficult to let him serve his grandson Chu.
Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi glanced at each other, but nodded at the same time, "Even if you are rebellious, you must not let your father die so unjustly, if you die so unjustly, what is the difference between it and rebellion, it is better to have a useful body and then plan for the future." β
Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi understood better than Fu Tianqiu, even if Fu Tianqiu died like this, he would have to have a rebellious reputation, but this bend is sometimes really difficult for such a person who has dedicated his life to Daqian.
"That being the case, you can just let it go, but there is news that the demon master has already left Qiandu and is coming here, I'm afraid this matter will not be so simple."
Enchantress!
Fu Qingfeng and Fu Mingyue were shocked when they heard this, and there was even more hatred in their eyes, you must know that the reason why Fu Tianqiu fell to this point is all due to the demon master Cihang Pudu, if it weren't for this guy who brought disaster to the country and the people, Daqian wouldn't even have come to this point.
Three miles away.
At this time, a group of people came towards Lanruo Temple, looking at the costume, it was the decoration of the Daqian brocade clothes and guards.
The Jinyi Guard of the Great Cadres is the first violent organization other than the army, responsible for the supervision, summons, inspection, interrogation, and execution of the duties within the Great Cadres.
Moreover, the masters of the Jinyi Guard are like clouds, and the strong martial arts in the rivers and lakes are rampant, and they dare not show off their power in front of the Jinyi Guard.
"Master Fu, we are also doing things for the imperial court, and we have offended a lot, please forgive me."
Qianhu, who was in charge of escorting Fu Tianqiu, looked at Fu Tianqiu's embarrassed appearance with shackles on his body, and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart, handed over a water bag, and unleashed a few times.
Jinyiwei is not all cruel and tyrannical people, they know Fu Tianqiu's reputation even more, seeing Fu Tianqiu fall to this point, even this Qianhu is a little puzzled, can't figure out what is going on with the current Daqian, thinking of the recent changes in Daqian, his eyes are even more confused.
Fu Tianqiu was also extremely thirsty, gulping down water, and looking at this Qianhu, his eyes were also a little softer.
Even today, what he hates the most is not the mediocre Qianhuang, but the demon master Cihang Pudu and the demon queen who brought disaster to the country and the people, in Fu Tianqiu's view, if it weren't for these two demons, the Qianchao would definitely not have fallen to such a point, and the reason why the Qianhuang was so stupid was also because of the demagogy of these two demons.
Although Fu Tianqiu has a bad feeling for these Jinyi guards who escorted him, this kind of bad feeling is not aimed at a certain person, but at the entire Jinyiwei, you must know that Jinyiwei's reputation in Daqian has always been very stinky, and there is hardly any official who does not dislike Jinyiwei.
The team moved forward slowly, and soon came to the vicinity of Lanruo Temple.
"Zuo Qianhu, there is an abandoned temple in front, do you want to suspend and rest."
A sentry came back in advance to report, Zuo Qianhu looked at the team, and then observed the surroundings, the emperor is not hungry soldiers, although the capital is urgent, but they have been in a hurry for two days, so it is reasonable to take a rest, otherwise, the rest of the journey is not so easy to walk.
"Okay, let's camp in that temple."
Inside Lanruo Temple.
Roar!
Just when Fu Qingfeng and Fu Mingyue were ambushed again, and Zhuge Wolong was resting in the temple, a stone monster suddenly appeared in the temple.
This stone monster is not afraid of swords, even if it is cut and cut off, it can be quickly combined again, and its strength is not weak, it is already in the realm of the demon king, so in addition to the slower speed, there is basically no shortcomings of the demon king, so that Zhuge Wolong is also a little tricky, and it is difficult to win it with Zhiqiu Yiye for a while.
Calculating the time, the Jinyi guard escort team is also about to arrive, and Zhuge Wolong is also a little anxious.
Woof!
Just when Zhuge Wolong was thinking about whether to launch a big move, a dog barked and before they could react, they saw a big white dog appear, and he actually came to the stone monster and opened his bloody mouth.
Zhuge Wolong and Zhiqiu Yiye both looked at the big dog in shock, the threat given to them by the big dog was too great, and they did not relax at all in the face of its takedown of the stone monster, after all, if the big dog returned to bite them, it would be the difference between the tiger and the wolf.
However, the big dog frowned after eating the stone monsters, but did not attack them.
Looking at the big dog's expression, they actually saw something, the big dog seemed to think that the stone monster was not delicious.
"The master asked me to come, why are you so nervous?"
The big dog turned his head and glanced at a few people, there seemed to be a little disdain in his eyes, and he slowly disappeared into the temple with the steps of the overlord.
Master!
Zhuge Wolong couldn't help but look at Xiahou Jie, his eyes were full of inquiry.
Xia Houjie had never seen a tengu before, but he heard Wansheng say that Jiale had raised a lot of spirit beasts, and this tengu might be one of them, but he didn't expect a dog to be so powerful.
"It should be one of the young master's spirit beasts."
Hearing Xiahou Jie's words, Zhuge Wolong was amazed, but also feared the strength of Jia Le, as the most knowledgeable person in Daqian, Zhuge Wolong knew the monk very well, he didn't think that Jia Le would be so kind to help Sun Zi Chu, even if it was a brother, in the eyes of the monk, there were only two kinds of use, not to mention, just a cousin.
Zhuge Wolong is very sure that Jia Le will have a plan, but he doesn't know how big Jia Le's picture is, since Zhuge Wolong has decided to help Sun Zi Chu, all aspects will think that the monk can't be the emperor, don't drive the emperor down, and let Jia Le bring disaster to the country.
Jia Le naturally didn't know Zhuge Wolong's thoughts.
Not far from Lanruo Temple, the tengu slowly returned.
"Black Mountain Old Demon!"
Jia Le didn't have many surprises, the stone monster was the old demon of Montenegro's subordinates, a year ago the old demon of Montenegro came to Lanruo Temple to welcome his family, but found that the Lanruo Temple was already empty, and the tree demon group of ghosts was not left, after knowing this situation, the old demon of Montenegro was a little strange.
The old demon of Black Mountain knew that the bottom of the giant tree was fine, and he really didn't know that there was anyone in this cultivation world who could handle the giant tree so easily.
Although the old demon of Montenegro has an arrogant personality, he is more cautious in his arrogance, so he sent a subordinate demon king to investigate.
From the memory of the demon soul of this stone monster, Jia Le also knew some information about the old demon of Montenegro.
It is indeed the realm of the Demon Venerable, and this Demon Venerable has an undefeated record of fighting with the Jiaolong Demon Venerable of the Jiaolong Clan, that Jiaolong Demon Venerable has been famous for a long time, and this battle also illustrates the strength of the old demon of Montenegro from the side, and it is definitely not as simple as entering the Demon Venerable for the first time.
Montenegro looks inconspicuous, but it stretches for thousands of miles, and the old demon of Montenegro has gathered hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters in Montenegro for his own use, and his power is so great that it is not worse than those demon royal families, and it is quite famous in the entire demon world, which makes people dare not underestimate it.
What an energy jewel vault!
Jia Le sighed, thinking in his heart, after Cihang Pudu is done, he will find time to explore the bottom of the old demon of Montenegro, if he can, he will get it done, hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters, plus the old demon of Montenegro, even if he does not go to other immortal gates to eliminate the demon clan, it is enough to gather enough energy for Jia Le to cross the catastrophe.
"Brother, do you think I'm already getting started?"
Just when Jia Le was thinking about things, a voice came from Jia Le's side, Sun Qing asked Jia Le in surprise, and felt it carefully, and found that this little girl who came to Jia Le with her grandson Chu has now begun to cultivate, and has officially entered the realm of refining.
Jia Le looked at Sun Qing and nodded, Sun Qing's qualifications are not bad, the Yin and Yang veins are now scarce in talents, just he is a light commander, it is definitely not possible not to get some disciples, Jia Le does not want to be really good Taoists to enter the people, in this case, it is better to find some disciples with good qualifications.
The first choice is naturally Sun Qing, this cousin's qualifications are not to be said, as long as she cultivates step by step, she will reach the level of Siluan in the future, and there will be no problems, which is enough to support the yin and yang veins.
After Sun Zichu came to Guobei County, Sun Qing followed, and Jia Le also took this opportunity to teach Sun Qing the secret of Maoshan refining, and Sun Qing also lived up to Jia Le's high expectations, and the breakthrough was successful in two days.
Lanruo Temple.
"Zuo Qianhu, there are people in the temple."
Well! Someone!
Zuo Qianhu couldn't help but be vigilant when he heard this, he was not an ordinary person this time, but a former military secretary, I am afraid that there are not a few people who want to rob prisoners, they don't know how much trouble they have encountered along the way, but they can't be careless, Jinyiwei has strict rules, if he can't escort Fu Tianqiu back to Kyoto safely, he will be able to do it.
"Take care of Master Fu, you two go in with me to investigate!"
There was no hurry to let his subordinates set up camp, Zuo Qianhu explained, and strode into Lanruo Temple, his right hand on the sword, ready to do it at any time.
In Lanruo Temple, the sisters of the Fu family who are secretly hidden are ready to move.
Zhuge Wolong, Zhiqiu Yiye, Xiahou Jie and Ning Caichen also looked up at Zuo Qianhu who walked into the temple.
O Great Master!
Xiahou Jie looked at Zuo Qianhu, felt the breath on Zuo Qianhu's body, and couldn't help but praise, although he was a Jianghu guest, he had also heard of this Jinyi Guard elite.
The strength of the Great Cadre Jinyi Guard should not be underestimated, almost with his own strength, suppressing the entire rivers and lakes, among which the masters are also the most, the Great Cadre has been founding the country for a long time, and the background is even more unfathomable.
Jinyiwei is the third grade of the function, with one commander and three products; Command the same two people, from the three products; Commanding two servants, four products; Pacify the two people, from the four products; Fourteen thousand households and fourteen people, five products; Vice thousands of households, from the five products; 100 households, six products; Try 100 households, from six products; General flag, is the seventh product; Small flags, from the seven pins. There are generals, captains, and wrestlers under his subordinates, and there are external staff and school orders.
There are four great masters of Jinyi Wei that Xia Houjie knows alone.
This Zuo Qianhu is the chief official of Yangzhou Qianhu, and he is a man of the hour in Yangzhou, but his reputation is much better than that of other Jinyiwei, because this is a practical and non-framing person, and he is a rare good official in Jinyiwei.
Xiahou Jie's eyes when he looked at Zuo Qianhu, there was also a bit of fighting spirit, heroes cherish heroes, masters are rare to meet, and now that he has met Zuo Qianhu, Xiahoujie will not let go of anything, and wants to fight with him.
Zuo Qianhu's gaze also swept over the four of them, and his heart was even more vigilant.
"In Xia Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zuolu, I don't know what you call it?"
