When Qinglong woke up again, it was already evening, and he found himself in a small courtyard.

The small courtyard is an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, with only two thatched houses, a side house with a chimney and a hall house used as a rest and living room.

There is a well in the yard and a small vegetable garden with some vegetables.

Qinglong walked out of the small courtyard, and there was a small stream in sight, and the stream was flowing quietly.

After the creek, it was a wasteland, overgrown with vegetation, and no one took care of it for many years.

There is a small bamboo grove behind the yard and a small hill behind the bamboo grove.

The red sun in the west has set in the treetops, and the red glow has soaked half of the sky, like a picture scroll, and tomorrow it will be another good weather.

What a great place!

But there was no one.

Yes, there's a yard nearby.

Qinglong felt indescribable melancholy in his heart, he longed for such a life and had no quarrel with the world, but now was not the time for him to return to the countryside and love the landscape.

Gotta get out of here!

He mobilized the true element in his body, but there was still no movement at all.

It's not that he doesn't have the true yuan in his body, but the true yuan seems to be locked in the dantian qi sea by some kind of power, and the true yuan seems to be extinguished, unable to mobilize.

He tried a few more times, but there was still no movement, and finally he had to give up.

However, his qi and blood are active, and he can still exert the strength of his qi and blood.

His legs bent slightly, the ground cracked with a "bang", he rose from the ground, jumped into the air more than ten meters in one step, and then landed on the small hill behind the courtyard.

There are quite a few trees growing on the hills, and the leaves are already yellowing, and after a while they will fall.

"Boom!!"

He fell into the woods and smashed like a boulder into a calm lake.

"Whew!!"

"Gah!!"

……

The next moment, a large number of birds fluttered their wings and flew out of the forest into the air.

"Ahh

At this moment, an angry roar came from the forest: "Which son of a bitch?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure rushing out of the forest.

This man was in his forties, wearing a gray robe, not very tall, but his shoulders were very broad, one and a half times that of ordinary people, giving people a very down-to-earth feeling.

He carried a large cage made of bamboo strips in one hand, a hemp rope in the other, and a small stick tied to the other end of the hemp rope, and ran down the mountain in a hurry.

As a result, seeing that there was no one around, he cursed in his mouth, and suddenly realized that there was no one in this place, and there was only one possibility left.

He immediately turned to look at the forest, and saw a figure slowly walking out of the forest.

"Boss, are you awake?"

Qinglong looked at Xuanwu and said expressionlessly, "Why are you here?" ”

Xuanwu said embarrassedly: "Boss, in fact, I came earlier than you. ”

Qinglong thought about it and immediately figured it out.

The 60,000 Lingzhou troops were all taken over by Wang Cheng, and the Tiger Hill camp naturally fell into the hands of Wang Cheng, how could Xuanwu, who was in charge of the Tiger Hill camp, escape?

"How did you get caught by that kid? You've got 30,000 horses! ”

Qinglong has always wanted to ask this question, but he has never had a chance to ask, and now that he sees Xuanwu himself, he finally can't help it anymore and asks Xuanwu.

Xuanwu didn't hide it, everyone was caught, and sooner or later it would be spread out, so it was better to tell it.

After hearing this, Qinglong put the context of all things together, and said: "First of all, he used the three thousand Royal Forest Army as bait to attract the Guangling Army, and he himself infiltrated Yicheng County, visited the old general Gu, invited the old general out of the mountain, took over the Yicheng garrison in one fell swoop in the name of the old general, and then killed Pan Chenlong, and used Fu Yi to take over the Tiger Hill camp." In this way, he took over the 60,000 defenders of Lingzhou, and the price he used was only more than 1,000 Imperial Forest Army. ”

"Win by wonder, match with the right, plan and then move, and use the art of war to perfection, he deserves to be the top general in the world."

He couldn't help but sigh, putting himself in his shoes, he would never be able to do this.

Because when the imperial court decided to use troops against Ninghou, the news quickly spread to Ninghou Mansion, and the specific information about Wang Cheng and the three thousand imperial forest troops led by him was also investigated very clearly by Ninghou Mansion.

Therefore, against Wang Cheng and the three thousand royal forest troops under his command, Ninghou Mansion came up with a lot of measures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a net of heaven and earth, so he is waiting for them to drill.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and this is not false at all."

Qinglong shook his head and sighed lightly, he felt that he was really old, and he really had the intention of retreating in his heart.

Suddenly, Xuanwu opened his mouth and asked, "Boss, why did you get caught with such a high cultivation?" ”

Qinglong didn't answer the question immediately, he looked into the void, his gaze gradually becoming deeper.

Naturally, he did not forget the battle in the morning, and everything changed from the arrival of the 10,000 cavalry.

Because the city gate had been closed, the armored cavalry was dumpled by 10,000 cavalry before they had time to go back, and they were killed and wounded, and his partner, General Zhu, abandoned the city and fled.

Yes, he fled.

Because he was unable to mobilize Zhenyuan, he was quickly controlled by Wang Cheng, and then fell into a coma, and the defenders in Anping County were leaderless.

General Zhu didn't think about fighting Wang Cheng, because he didn't have the slightest chance of winning, and if he stayed, he was more likely to be captured alive.

Qinglong thought that the reason why he suddenly fell into a coma should be some kind of poison.

"Boss, it turns out that you have also been poisoned by that kid." Xuanwu grinned.

Qinglong said: "I'm just guessing, but I don't know how he poisoned him." ”

"Actually, I don't know how I got poisoned." Xuanwu said embarrassedly.

Qinglong speculated: "Poison is nothing more than divided into those types, one is from the mouth, the other is from the nose, and the other is similar to snake venom, which enters the human body from the skin and blood. ”

"It's impossible to speak with the mouth and nose, with our cultivation, the poison through the mouth and nose, we can all feel the difference."

Xuanwu thought for a moment and said, "I speculate that the biggest possibility is skin blood. That kid had a flying sword in his hand, and I was bitten on the neck, which should have been poisoned at that time. ”

When he said this, Qinglong also remembered.

At the moment of the battle with Wang Cheng, his arm was slashed by a flying sword, and he didn't care about it at first, thinking that he had dodged. Now that I think about it, it is clear that Wang Cheng's subordinates are merciful.

If the flying sword can stab him in the arm, it can also stab him in the head. The reason why he only injured his arm was because it was enough for Wang Cheng to poison him.

"This kid hasn't seen him for a few months, and his heart and eyes are several times more, and he can even use the three rotten moves such as poisoning. It's hard for Hou Ye to meet such a person! Xuanwu shook his head and smiled.

Qinglong asked rhetorically, "Do you think he can win?" ”

Xuanwu knew that the "he" in Qinglong's mouth meant Wang Cheng, nodded and said: "Now that he has 60,000 Lingzhou troops, the Guangling army and the Anping garrison have been destroyed one after another, and we all fall into his hands. ”

Qinglong shook his head after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "The power in the hands of Hou Ye is far more than it seems on the surface, although the imperial court has sent a martial king powerhouse, it is not enough, and it can even be said that it is far behind. ”

Xuanwu opened his mouth, he knew that Qinglong was by no means untargeted.

Qinglong, as the first person to follow Ninghou, is undoubtedly the most aware of the details, and must know more secrets of Ninghou Mansion, such as the combat power of Ninghou Mansion.

"You may not know that the old man is actually helping him!" Qinglong suddenly said meaningfully.

"What do you mean, Boss?" Xuanwu was puzzled.

Qinglong sighed: "The reason why the old man personally took action was to stop him and let him retreat in spite of difficulties, or let the imperial court send stronger warriors, but he never thought about ......it."

At this point, he shook his head.

Xuanwu knew what he was thinking, but he didn't expect Qinglong to value Wang Cheng so much, and even faintly surpassed Ning Hou.

He shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, that kid doesn't understand your good intentions, boss, now that Anping County has been taken away by him, Tiandu City is in front of him, and a decisive battle is inevitable." ”

Qinglong also sighed, he knew that it was too late to say anything, and besides, he couldn't do anything.

He looked at the sun that had already set, and asked Xuanwu, "What is this place?" ”

"I don't know."

Xuanwu shook his head and said, "After I woke up from the poison, I arrived at this broken place, there was nothing nearby, just this broken yard." ”

"You've seen it all?" Qinglong Road.

Xuanwu nodded and said, "Boss, before you came, I had been exploring here for a long time, and there were no people within a radius of twenty miles, and even a few beasts could not be seen. ”

He lifted the things in his hand and showed them to Qinglong, and said, "I originally wanted to make up for the boss's pheasant, but I don't know which one lacks virtue and smokes......"

Suddenly, he sensed a murderous aura and quickly closed his mouth.

Qinglong snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze from him, then looked around, and said, "Looking at the topography here, it should still be Lingzhou or Yicheng County." ”

He turned his head to look at Xuanwu and asked, "You have also been in Yicheng County for a while, and you are not a stranger to this place, can't you see what kind of place it is?" ”

Xuanwu said embarrassedly: "Yicheng County has seven counties and one city, it is the largest county except Tiandu Prefecture, I know a little bit about Yicheng, and other places are really not clear." ”

"That's it!"

Qinglong no longer counted on him, and said, "Let's still think of a way to get out of here." ”

Xuanwu grinned at the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't think we need to leave in a hurry, first, we are now in a state of cultivation, even if we go out, what can we do?" The second is that the war has reached this point, and the decisive battle is inevitable, and it is not one or two martial arts sects that can change the overall situation. ”

How does Qinglong not understand?

It's just that he really doesn't want Wang Cheng and Ning Hou to fight to the death, and the death of either of them is not what he wants to see.

"Don't think about it, boss, you'd better catch pheasants with me. With our cultivation, it's not okay to be vegetarian all day long. If we can't eat meat anymore, we can only lie down every day. ”

After hearing this, Qinglong changed color, and he finally remembered that something was wrong.

His leap just now seemed like nothing, but it actually consumed a lot of his physical strength, and he actually felt hungry after a while.

Because Zhenyuan can't move, he and Xuanwu can only use qi and blood, which means that they are now equivalent to ancient warriors, so they consume a lot of energy, and far more than ordinary people.

To maintain their physical strength, they must consume a large amount of qi and blood, such as the Qi and Blood Pill.

As soon as he thought of this, he reached out and touched his sleeve and in his arms, but he didn't touch anything.

Qinglong shook his head, he finally understood why Xuanwu arrived here before him, but he didn't find a way out at all.

Wang Cheng really took everything into account, and left nothing for them, just to trap them here, not to let them get out easily, and of course it won't hurt them.

"Boss, come on, the pheasant is back!"

Xuanwu's urging sounded in his ears, Qinglong's old face became extremely lonely, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's here!" Here it comes! ”

Then he ran into the woods, like a child running wildly.

What Ning Hou, what Wang Cheng, they don't die or not, they have nothing to do with him!

Wang Cheng, who was far away in Anping County, felt that his ears were inexplicably hot, and his heart was a little trance.

At this moment, Wu Feilong and Fu Yi walked into the county office and saluted Wang Cheng who was sitting in the lobby.

"Your Excellency!"

"Prince!"

Wang Cheng came back to his senses and said, "No need to be polite! Is the city all settled? ”

Wu Feilong secretly glanced at Fu Yi and motioned for him to report.

Fu Yi had no choice but to speak: "There are a total of 20,000 defenders in Anping City, all of whom were requisitioned from Tiandu Mansion. The personnel are more complicated, including the local county soldiers of Anping County, the private guards of Ninghou, the private army of Ninghou's Mansion, the defenders of Tiandu Mansion, and some people from the rivers and lakes. ”

He paused, and then continued: "However, some of these people have a very tenacious will to resist, and they should be those Xuanwei under Ning Hou's command. It was also in the time of Shen that most of them were exterminated, and a small number were hidden in the city. As for the rest of the personnel, they were either killed by us or surrendered, and less than thirty percent of them fled. ”

Wang Cheng nodded secretly, this data was similar to what he expected, he had never expected to annihilate everyone in one fell swoop.

Only four or five thousand people fled, which had little impact on the final battle that followed.

He calculated a little, Ning Hou didn't have many people available, even if he transferred troops from other counties in Tiandu Prefecture, it would be too late in time, and he wouldn't give the other party time to prepare.

From only 3,000 Imperial Forest troops under his hands at the beginning, to 60,000 or 70,000 horses now, in just a few days, the situation has undergone a shocking reversal, although part of the reason here is that Ning Hou is not there, but his plan has undoubtedly played a very big role.

He looked at the void, his eyes were deep, as if he had crossed thousands of miles, and muttered, "After not showing up for such a long time, were you really captured by Senior Zhou?" ”

Subconsciously, he didn't want Ning Hou to be taken away by Zhou Yingxiong at all, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take revenge!

"I don't believe that you have left no back, and you can tolerate so many years of hard work being wasted!"

Wang Cheng's eyes burst out with a thick murderous intent, and then ordered Wu Feilong and Fu Yi: "Tell me to go down, brothers have a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army will kill Tiandu City!" ”

Wu Feilong and Fu Yi glanced at each other, and they both felt Wang Cheng's determination.

"Yes!"
