Chapter 505: Pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, borrowing a knife to kill people
In the early morning, the white dew condenses on the tips of the grass.
As soon as the breeze hit, Bai Lu swayed and fell from the tip of the grass.
A black boot stood on the side of the green grass, and the owner of the black boot watched the white dew drip to the ground.
The heaven and earth qi machine is turning cold.
Li Xuan stood up straight and said softly, "When you see a leaf falling, you know the twilight of the year, and when you see the ice in the bottle, you know the cold of the world."
"Is the king thinking about the right time to make an advance?" Yu Ze's voice came from behind him.
Li Xuan turned around and saw Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu coming from behind.
When the two saw Li Xuan turn around, they immediately bowed their hands: "I've seen the king."
"Brother Qiu, Uncle Yu!" Li Xuan bowed to Qiu Zhenmu and Yu Ze in return, then stood up and said, "When it is time to attack the Heavenly Yin and Earth Palace, the first thing to consider is the human heart, the human heart is equal to each other, and then the land is advantageous to the other, so we can only take the heavenly time, but the heavenly time is fickle, and we need to wait."
"It seems that the prince knows it in his heart." Yu Ze has followed Li Xuan for so long, so he naturally understands the meaning of his words.
"The front-line affairs will be handled by Zhonglang." Li Xuan's gaze swept over the two of them and looked into the distance.
Heilong Mountain, the newly built camp, has been densely packed with grain bags.
These were brought up from the mountain in one night.
Li Xuan said softly, "No matter what the battle ahead is, what we should do must be done in place."
"What the prince said is even." Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu nodded seriously.
Li Xuan was ordered to be responsible for transporting the grain and grass at the entrance of the street to Heilongling, and then from Heilongling to the outside of the Immortal Valley in front.
The Immortal Valley is fourteen miles away from the Black Dragon Ridge, standing on the top of the mountain peak, and you can just see the black spots the size of rice grains in the distance.
At this moment, on the Black Dragon Ridge, more than a dozen tents have been set up in the newly built camp.
Under the Black Dragon Ridge, the camp of the army is also being dismantled and transferred.
Tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, Duan Baoxuan will move his army to the outside of the Immortal Valley.
After all, he is the commander of the army, whether it is Qiu Shenqi or Huaijin, he can be regarded as a vanguard general at most.
"Of the nearly three thousand soldiers, one thousand have already arrived in the Immortal Valley, so let's see how much progress Zhonglang will be able to make." Li Xuan glanced at the bottom of the mountain, and then looked in the direction of the Immortal Valley again, his gaze solemn.
"Does the king think that Zhonglang will be able to capture the Tianyin General Altar?" Qiu Zhenmu couldn't help but ask with concern.
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and said, "If you give Zhonglang five days and three thousand soldiers regardless of damage, then there is no problem in capturing the Tianyin General Altar, but I am afraid that he will not have so much time, in the short term, he will be able to find the main way to the depths of the ground, which is already a great luck."
Inside the main altar of the Tianyin Sect, there are many traps and traps, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will immediately have to worry about your life.
Moreover, the layout of the Tianyin Sect's main altar is like a dense beehive.
But in this hive, there is only one way to the place where the last queen is.
But on this road, there are many forks in the road.
If you insist on going all the way to the end, you will definitely fall into the abyss of death.
"What if it's the prince?" Qiu Zhenmu stood on the other side and looked at Li Xuan cautiously.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said, "This king will not attack that underground palace easily, this king would rather spend a lot of time to bring the water of the Xin'an River all the way here, and flood the Tianyin and Digong with water......
"The Xin'an River is more than ten miles away, and it is going up all the way to how to bring water over." Duan Baoxuan's deep voice came from behind.
Li Xuan and the others immediately turned around, and then arched their hands and said, "I've seen the Dudu!"
Duan Baoxuan waved his hand, walked in front of Li Xuan and the others, looked at the depths of the valley more than ten miles away, and said softly, "The underground palace of the Tianyin Sect is unfathomable, I don't know how long it will take to fill it."
"But there will always be a day when it can be filled, after all, it has only taken twenty years for the Tianyin Sect to run this place before and after." Li Xuan's words,
It was an understatement, but the hosts present could feel his firm will.
"That's too long." Duan Baoxuan's tone was a little dissatisfied.
"Then it depends on how many people the Governor can accept to die." Li Xuan followed Duan Baoxuan's gaze and stared into the depths of the valley from afar.
At this moment, breakfast was served, and the soldiers were ready.
Nearly a thousand soldiers were arrayed outside the Immortal Valley.
The flag waved, and the next moment, three teams of daredevils, with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, rushed into the valley with solemn faces.
At the end of each of them were three soldiers, with long hook spears in their hands, slowly walking towards the antiquity.
The valley was quiet, and in the blink of an eye it had been broken by the sound of heavy footsteps.
To the left of the entrance to the valley, a row of wooden houses was erected, and a group of soldiers on the far left immediately rushed towards them.
Deep in the valley, a huge statue of the goddess of the Heavenly Yin sits against a mountain.
On each side of the statue of the goddess, there is a row of stone caves, which have been carved out from under the mountain wall.
Many Tianyin Sect members usually live in the valley, but yesterday, when the official army attacked, they immediately retreated into the mountain wall.
There was no trace of it.
The remaining two teams of soldiers immediately split up and rushed towards the stone house on one side.
Then a scream came out of the stone house.
Even if it was more than ten miles away, the sound of the wind still clearly transmitted the screams to Li Xuan's ears.
Soon, corpses were removed from the cave and moved to a clearing outside the valley.
At this moment, Ming Chongyan, who was wearing a lilac robe, walked out of the crowd and walked straight to the corpse.
He stretched out his hand, and a pill of unknown meaning was fed directly into the corpse's mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the corpse on the ground magically opened its eyes, and after a while, it had already jumped.
Then, a cheer suddenly sounded in the military formation.
Morale was boosted.
What happened on the front line quickly reached the ears of Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan.
The two of them were sitting on the cobblestone at the top of the mountain, looking out into the valley from afar.
Glancing at the detailed report in his hand, Duan Baoxuan said angrily, "Fraud."
The soldier just now didn't die at all, and it was even likely that he just fainted, which was used as a morale booster by Qiu Shenqi and Ming Chongyan.
This was the case for many of the soldiers on the ground, and they were soon awakened one by one.
But every time it did, it brought a cheer from the soldiers.
"On the battlefield, no matter what the means, it just works." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, looking indifferent.
What kind of person is Ming Chongyan, that is the most trusted advisor around Empress Wu, and his willingness to appear at this time is already sincere.
Li Xuan bowed his head slightly, last night, Empress Yuan allowed the Thousand-Faced Buddha to move freely, but now, Ming Chongyan took the initiative to appear.
It's too much to think about.
Yan Zhuang pretended to be the Buddha of the Thousand Faces and infiltrated the main altar of the Tianyin Sect, but it did not work as expected.
At least in Li Xuan's opinion.
It is impossible for Qiu Shenyu and Ming Chongyan not to know about the things he is hiding here.
Even this whole thing was planned by them from the beginning.
Although Yan Zhuang didn't make much contribution before, fortunately, it was not too late now.
If they can really be assisted by Yan Zhuang, they can attack the underground palace and kill Yuan, and the matter will be considered a success.
But unfortunately, Yan Zhuang was no longer trusted within the Tianyin Sect.
Soon, another group of soldiers entered the Tianyin Sect's underground palace.
Li Xuan flipped through the battle reports that were constantly sent to the rear from the front line.
Crossbow arrows, poisonous water, poisonous smoke, pits, hob carts, rolling stones, and batches of murderous weapons seemed to fall on the officers and soldiers as if they were one after another.
But fortunately, Qiu Shenyu had already prepared, hook guns, iron shields, and even rolling stones, poisonous smoke, and all kinds of means were used.
Although the casualties were not light, the good thing is that many people were only injured.
"The governor was transferred first, it seems that he is a cronie of the Huangshan Zhichong Mansion and the Huai Duwei of the Huiji Zhichong Mansion?" Li Xuan turned his head to look at Duan Baoxuan.
"If they want to make meritorious contributions, they naturally have to use their own people." Duan Baoxuan's expression was very light.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, Duan Baoxuan did things within the rules, and no one could say that he was not.
Li Xuan stood up, arched his hand at Duan Baoxuan, and said, "Dudu, today's matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make real progress, my subordinates will go down first to take a look at the transfer of grain and grass, and now it seems that it will take some time to attack the underground palace here."
"King Nanchang stopped, this underground palace of the Heavenly Yin Sect, is there really no good way to break through quickly?" Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with a solemn face.
Li Xuan glanced at Duan Baoxuan seriously and said, "Dudu, if you want to break through the dungeon quickly, there are three ways."
"Three?" There was a hint of surprise in Duan Baoxuan's eyes, were there as many as three ways to do this?
"The first thing is to get the layout map of the entire dungeon, but this thing should be in the deepest part of the dungeon, so don't think about taking it out." Li Xuan smiled bitterly.
"Hmm!" Duan Baoxuan nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask, "What about the second?"
"The other two are the builders of this dungeon, if you can find him, then this dungeon will naturally be broken with a snap of your fingers." Li Xuan's face became serious.
Such a tight underground palace is absolutely impossible for ordinary craftsmen to build.
It must be a master with enough experience, staying here for a long time, carefully polished.
Such a character is absolutely rare in the world.
And even fewer are willing to spend that time.
"For twenty years, even if this person is still alive, I'm afraid he will be hiding in the main altar of the Tianyin Sect." Duan Baoxuan shook his head.
"This third type is the person who knows the internal ways of this underground palace, such as Zhu Jun, for example, now grabbing a live mouth from the mountain and torturing something from it, this should have been done by the relatives." Li Xuan suddenly looked at Duan Baoxuan in some surprise.
Zhu Zhu had already been sent to Duan Baoxuan, it wouldn't take so long, they didn't ask anything.
"It's useless, the route of the underground palace of the General Altar is not dead, it changes every hour of the day, and every time Zhu Jun comes here, someone else leads the way for him, and none of the people who really know the core secrets of the General Altar have been caught." Duan Baoxuan sighed heavily.
He has also been in battle for many years, how could he not have thought of such a thing.
"Governor!" Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan and said in a deep voice: "According to the opinion of his subordinates, if you really don't care about the final result, then why don't you set fire to it and completely burn down the entire underground palace, from the outside in, little by little."
"If it's all burned, how can you tell if the queen is alive or dead?" Duan Baoxuan raised his head and looked at Li Xuan.
"She's not that easy to kill." Li Xuan arched his hand at Duan Baoxuan and said, "The Governor may wish to consider the suggestions of his subordinates, we don't need to use this underground palace to run anything, the final result is still to destroy it, so why not take the first step!"
After finishing speaking, Li Xuan turned around and left directly.
Duan Baoxuan turned his head and looked into the depths of the valley.
Although he couldn't see Qiu Shenqi and Ming Chongyan clearly, he also knew that these two were now fighting with all their might.
If you follow what Li Xuan said, he just pulled out the bottom of these two people.
Duan Baoxuan shook his head, it wasn't that time yet.
