Whether to go north to help guard Yuping Pass, or to go south to help fight the Lost Soul Pass, Liang Xingyang couldn't make up his mind, he felt that what Xiao Wanling and the others said was more reasonable, once the Yuping Pass was lost, a large number of white bone demon thieves poured in like a tide, Yuping Prefecture couldn't keep it, and there was no point in taking the Lost Soul Pass. However, he was unwilling to listen to only one side of the story, and had already promised Bai Langqi first, so he decided to listen to Bai Langqi's statement again.

After sending Xiao Wanling and Lu Wenbiao away, he came to Bai Langqi again and told the meaning of the two.

Bai Langqi jumped to his feet angrily after hearing this: "These two dog thieves have selfish intentions!" Yue Long won the trust of the emperor, gave Shang Fang the sword, led the ten major general soldiers, each with 10,000 soldiers, plus a total of no less than one million people and horses in various prefectures and counties, and set up a mixed yuan array to destroy the white bone demon thief. Xiao Wanling and Lu Wenbiao are all in the same party as him, for fear that something will go wrong, so they have to go to Yuping Pass!

Little Zhenren, do you know that now there are only 10,000 soldiers who can fight in Yuping Prefecture, if they are all taken to guard Yuping Pass, then the white bone thief will make a comeback, and come to fight Yuping City again, can he come to the rescue? He will not come! At that time, Yuping City was broken by the demon thieves, and the people fell into the hands of the thieves, putting all the blame on me, and as long as they cooperated with Yue Longpan to encircle and suppress the main force of the white bone thieves on the back, not only were they not guilty, but they were meritorious! ”

After hearing this, Liang Xingyang slapped his forehead with his hand, and said in his heart that you officials are too good at playing, I want to go back to the mountains!

He has cultivated for two lives, and his mind is simple, where have he thought about these twists and turns.

But now the problem is in front of us, either stand on the side of Governor Bai and go south to fight the Lost Soul Pass, or stand on the side of Xiao Fucheng and Lu Zongbing and go north to guard Yuping Pass.

No matter what choice you make, you will offend the other party.

He proposed: "I'll go and help you lay down the Ecstasy Pass first, and then go to guard the Jade Screen Pass, anyway, the white bone thief on the back of this will not come." ”

Bai Langqi frowned after hearing this and said: "I have no problem, as long as Xiao Zhenren is willing to help, defend Yuping Prefecture, and protect the safety of the people, I will be grateful, but I am afraid that the surname Lu will not be." ”

Liang Xingyang came to Lu Wenbiao again and told him his proposal, Lu Wenbiao also frowned and said: "I don't object either, then that's it, I will lead the headquarters to guard the Yuping Pass first, and Xiao Zhenren will help the Governor to help us after the Ecstasy Pass, so that both ends can be taken into account." ”

Liang Xingyang said to Bai Langqi again, and Bai Lang jumped to his feet angrily: "Now the regular army of the entire Kunyuan Six Prefectures is the more than 10,000 people under his hands, and he has brought them all to Yuping Pass, should I rely on the newly recruited militia to fight with the White Bone Demon Disciples?" ”

Liang Xingyang felt really annoying!

These officials don't have anything to say on the bright side, they are secretive, and they are covered with clouds and mountains and fog, and they actually dig pits for people! And all the words are for the people, for the country, but in fact, they are all calculating for their own worth and interests!

After being messed up like this, his state of mind that he had already refined himself also set off some ripples, and he almost started a liver fire!

He waved his hand: "Forget it, you can do whatever you like, you can go to whichever pass you want, I can't control it, and I don't want to care." I'll do my own, go to the south first, and it's best to kill the white bone general, and the rest of the leaders can slaughter a few. ”

Both sides saw that he did not play cards according to the "routine", and they were also anxious, and tried their best to persuade him to help him.

Liang Xingyang made up his mind not to mix in the party struggle between them, and refined two lantern talismans and gave them to Bai Langqi and Lu Wenbiao respectively: "When I am needed, such as the White Bone God and Demon attacking the city, or the White Bone Thief in the north, I will burn the talisman, and I will rush over immediately." ”

He lived in Yuping City for more than ten days, refined the sword pill, sewed a small purse and tied it with a rope for Lingbao to hang on his chest, and taught him to cast spells and refine swords every day at the fourth time of the meridian and the fourth hour.

During this period, Bai Langqi came several times and scolded the mirror party for misleading the country: "I have received the news, the white bone thieves are in chaos internally, killing each other, the Yongning general soldier Qiu Yiyi, who rebelled at the beginning, seized the Ecstasy Pass, cut off the return of the main force of the white bone thieves, and wanted to dominate the land of Wuzhou, and now the two sides are fighting on the Hungry Ghost Slope, if we can send troops, we will be able to exterminate them all when they are both defeated, report to the country, and save the people of Li...... It's a pity to hate! Lu Wenbiao, that brute......"

Through inquiries in the past few days, Liang Xingyang also roughly understood the current pattern of the Great Xia court, which is mainly divided into two factions, one is the Qingliu bachelor in the court, with the theme of "Ming Mirror Hanging" and "Ming Jian Right and Wrong", carrying a bronze mirror, known as the Mirror School, that Mr. Yue Longpan, as well as Fu Cheng Xiao Wanling, and Lu Wenbiao, the general soldier of Guchang who was wooed by him, all belong to this faction, the former Yuping prefect, Xue Lingfeng's father Xue Dinglan is also, and the mainstream figures are all civil officials in the court.

The other faction is dominated by the emperor's guards, most of whom are close ministers of the emperor, and because of the emperor's support, it has developed rapidly in recent years, and the Imperial History Institute has been full of their people, and they have sent governors to various places to win over officers.

Because this faction is known as "the disadvantages of the needle" and "the imperial overseer", it is called the needle faction with the needle as the representative thing. The boss of the needle faction, as the head of the inner Tianxi, the commander of Yulin Wei and other official positions, has a set of "Tianmang Shen Needle", it is said to be extremely powerful, specializing in assassinating all kinds of Yuan Shen Dharma body, over the years, so that countless demons and ghosts who tried to disturb the capital are scattered, and master the heavenly prison and hell, and the judge and ghost king of the underworld have friendships, and the ministers of the court and the central government are afraid of him.

Bai Langqi, the governor of Kunyuan, is a person from the needle faction, the needle faction is not deeply rooted in the local area, he was sent to the southwest, operated for several years, and it was easy to hook up with the general soldiers of the two states.

Liang Xingyang didn't want to get involved in the fight between them: "It's just right for them to mess up, I went alone with a sword, the target is small, and I don't know it, so I cut off their heads in the chaos, and you don't have to spend any effort." ”

He left the Lingbao in Yuping City, entrusted Bai Langqi and Xiao Wanling to take care of them, and then left Yuping City alone.

Traveled more than 100 miles to the south, and saw several empty cities in a row, all of which were county towns under the jurisdiction of Yuping Prefecture, all of which were empty for a long time, some of the city walls collapsed, some were burned by fire, and after the chaotic army crossed, all of them were smashed and smashed, and the eyes were full of mess.

Outside a Qiaoshan county town, Liang Xingyang saw an old woman, skinny as wood, her skin was black and dry, tightly strangled on her bones, her teeth were gone, she was hunched up, wearing a tattered cloth shirt, and her arms and legs were exposed.

Outside the county seat, there had been a battle a few days earlier, and outside the city gates was the most violent, with a large number of corpses lying on the ground, blood staining the dirt red.

The old woman trembled and groped among the corpses, one by one, her hands like dry branches, moving slowly and carefully, expecting to touch something from the corpse.

Liang Xingyang was born wealthy, from the Yuan Kyushu abundant products, although there are also poor people, but it is also a prosperous scene, after coming to the west, the first to encounter those cottages are relatively poor, reliable hunting and planting, can also live very well, Yuping City was originally a rich place, not ravaged by war, there are many people with vegetables on the street, but it is not difficult to become like this!

He fell into the light and came behind the old woman: "Grandma, what are you doing here?" ”

The old woman was frightened, and when she turned around and saw that it was a child, who looked white and pure, she put her heart at ease and said with a leaky mouth, "I am very hungry, come out and find something to eat." ”
