Zhao Que has long been on guard against the old Taoist, this group of crooked and evil ways are not only vicious, but also use all kinds of methods.

The distance between the two fingers was only half a foot, and they poked Zhao Que's eyes.

The old Taoist priest made a ruthless move, and he couldn't help but ask his two tricks to finish his work in one battle, and even Zhao Que's life wanted to end it together.

However, Zhao Que waited silently for the old Taoist priest with both fists.

Two punches broke his arms, disdainful of the old Taoist's heart-rending wail, and another punch hit his forehead.

Lao Dao slipped out in an instant, holding the ground with both hands, vomiting blood continuously, his eyes staring at Zhao Que, and he quickly lost his mind.

His compass fell a few steps away from Zhao Que.

Zhao Que walked over and picked it up, at this moment, he was not worried that the old Taoist priest would run.

The vitality of the old road made him beat most of it, and it was not so easy to run.

The white candle standing on the compass, the flame faltering, acting as a wick, seemed to be looking at Zhao Que in horror.

The white candle itself resembles a firework.

Splitting the soul burning core, this side door technique, among the many crooked and evil methods, is also ranked in the top fifty, has Daxia become a monk who has become a great master, Zhao Que has never heard of it, there is an evil monk in the rivers and lakes of Hanshan, who used the soul splitting core to control a young man with excellent qualifications, and the young man's cultivation went smoothly, and finally landed in Penglai Realm, and this evil monk was originally mediocre in qualifications, and he also benefited from becoming a big master in Penglai Realm.

Zhao Que observed a wisp of soul, very much like the one he killed when he broke the siege for Gongsun Qingfeng.

"The side-door method of splitting the soul and burning the core is really vicious, once someone separates a wisp of soul and acts as a wick, no matter how powerful the martial arts cultivation is, it will be useless, and in this life and this life will be played with by a person like you. Zhao Que muttered to himself.

"Your fate is very good, so you have become a Qi Refiner in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, fortunately, the people you control, the qualifications can be, but that's it, otherwise, when you reach the Anming Realm and Penglai Realm, maybe you will do something evil?!"

The old Taoist priest smiled: "The old Taoist has never done a single evil thing for so many years!"

"Jokes, don't you know if you have done bad things in the evil world? What can a poor family with an unrighteous heart do to think about it with your heels! You old way is dying, and you are still arguing for yourself, and you want to be shameless?" Zhao Que said disdainfully.

A white dragon manifested around Zhao Que.

It looked at the old way, and then at the white candle on the compass.

Then he bored to coil Zhao Que layer by layer with the dragon body, leaving him a vacant space to inspect the compass.

The white dragon represents the gold line in the five elements, and the main killing.

Zhao Que stretched out his hand and removed a piece of dragon scales from the white dragon's body.

The dragon scales seem to be real but not virtual, and they seem to be virtual but not real.

He pinched the dragon scales and slashed across the wick as quickly as he could.

Extinguish immediately.

A wisp of soul exploded into a cloud of faint blue light.

There seemed to be a terrible ghost crying.

Zhao Que turned his head to look at the dissatisfied white dragon, and sneered and pasted the dragon scales back to their original places.

Wave your hand and let her go back to sleep.

The martial arts realm of the old way, after a wisp of soul dissipated, the realm fell, until it became the upper realm of Yanhua in the six realms of the world.

"Just say that you are in the upper realm, stealing other people's Taoism, but you have become a half-immortal in the world in the middle of the mountains and three realms, and if you put it on me, there is no place to put a face for a long time, how can you still be like you, and you actually lost your mind and then avenged your apprentice. Zhao Que walked towards the old way that had lost all his spirit, and he was only one step away from going to the underworld.

"If it weren't for me, my good apprentice would have been beaten to death by the scoundrels in the village who ruined his mother when he was six years old." ”

Zhao Que sneered and asked: "Are you noble? For evil, instead of reflecting on whether you have done evil things, you accuse others of doing the same evil. ”

The old Taoist priest recalled the experience of this life as if he was looking at the flowers, raised his head and looked up at Zhao Que's mocking expression, and prayed: "Kill me." ”

"As you wish. Zhao Que despised this old man who loved to talk nonsense.

His hands pressed on the temples on both sides of Lao Dao, and his hands were powerful, as if he was twisting cabbage, and he directly twisted Lao Dao's head off.

The Soul Burning Core is extremely vicious.

Even if you want to show mercy to your subordinates, you can't keep this old way.

Look around at several corpses.

Zhao Que sneered and rushed towards Jin Lu City.

Just because they also want to take revenge, could it be that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?

Near the gates of Golden Dew City.

Zhao Que stopped a hundred zhang away.

A group of poorly clothed victims, hungry with sallow faces and skinny bones, attacked the defenders of Jinlu City in waves.

Compared with the victims, the defenders were all strong, forming an army formation to block them.

Whenever the victim approached, the spear in his hand immediately stabbed or pushed.

Immediately a flood of victims fell and wailed and shook the sky.

There were also defenders who could not bear to see such a pitiful appearance of the victims, as if they had prepared in advance, and threw the small packets of food tied to their belts into the victims.

It's good not to lose it.

As soon as they were dropped, the victims opened their hands and grabbed small packets of food, people pressed people, people pulled people, people bitten people, and the chaos was like Shura hell.

Can human nature become so vulnerable in the face of hunger?

The shivering and frantic victims of the cold are vividly displayed.

If it's weird, it's to blame Jinlu City for not distributing disaster relief food for a long time.

The madness of the victims of the disaster to their own people inspired the other defenders, and they found cloth bags containing small bags of grain, once the victims rushed to the military formation, the defenders used enough strength, rounded their arms, and threw them as far as they wanted, and the eyes of the victims looked at the small bags of grain, and immediately turned around to grab the food.

Some of the defenders' families had lived in Jinlu City for generations, and when they saw this bizarre human tragedy, not only did they not have the slightest sympathy, but they laughed out loud, laughing at the victims as if they were uncivilized beasts.

"Brother Zhang, didn't the government distribute some of the relief food?" a defender couldn't bear to look around at the many miserable victims, and muttered.

The man who was called Brother Zhang by him smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's gone, the officials and masters have been exploited layer by layer, and there is not much left, I watched with my own eyes the grain trucks transported to the disaster relief outside the city quickly disappeared in the city." ”

"That'...... How do you explain it to the above?"

"Oh, it couldn't be easier, mix the chaff with the rest of the grain, mix it up, and if it's not enough, add dirt to it to make it look like relief grain that has just been brought out of the granary. ”

"Is this what people eat?"

"Why not? Hey, how many victims can't grab it if they want to eat!" The defender who was called Brother Zhang couldn't help but sneer.

I don't know if he is angry with him, or if he is mocking the madness of those officials.

"A rare snowstorm in Nanyangzhou, I don't know how many victims have been caused, why don't the old men in the temple who are the masters of the people delay in sending food?" asked another defender who looked very young, the armor he was wearing, drooping on his body, and he glanced at it hurriedly, thinking that he was a child pretending to be the defender of Jinlu City.

"Haven't you heard of it? There is chaos in the north, the rebels of Jiangjinzhou have swept through a state, and now Jiangjinzhou has become the territory of the rebels, and Jiangjinzhou is not far from the capital.

"Alas, it's getting worse and worse year by year, people all over the world say that our Nanyang is rich, who would have expected that there are a large number of disaster victims in Nanyangzhou. ”

"Does the imperial court care about our tax-paying state?"

"No matter what?!hey, the capital can't be saved, you tell Brother Zhang me, how can those wealthy old men take care of it?

The defenders who first asked Brother Zhang took advantage of the chaos of the situation to walk up to him and whispered: "Brother Zhang, I heard that the relatives who came to join my family are not only the people of Qingshi City, but the people of Lingchang City have all rebelled with the defenders!"

He deliberately kept his voice down.

Brother Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is this true?"

"It's true, my relative is a rich family in Lingchang City, and now those thieves are killing the rich and helping the poor, and my relative can't stay anymore, so he defected to my family. ”

The middle-aged defender, who had been silently beside Brother Zhang, shouted: "Quieter voices, if others hear them, go and make a small report, you will shake the morale of the army, and you will all die!"

After a pause, the middle-aged defender said in a quieter voice: "I heard the news that the defenders of Jinchang City have also rebelled, and the government in the city directly opened warehouses to release grain to relieve the victims of the snow disaster. ”

“......”

"Don't you mean ......?"

"Didn't you say that troubled times are coming?!" Brother Zhang asked tremblingly.

“......”

No one spoke anymore.

The scene of hell in front of them washed over their nerves all the time, clearly telling them that troubled times were really coming.

Zhao Que went to the other side of Jinlu City, where there were no victims, and climbed the city wall lightly to climb over and enter the city.

At present, the defenders are all on the lookout for the victims, but no one can see him along the way.

Go and put pressure on Xue Jian, so that he can open a warehouse and release grain, and there is no time to delay.

The victims outside the city, I don't know how long they can hold out, in case someone organizes them, just rely on the defenders of Jinlu City, and not let them slaughter?

Zhao Que couldn't know too well how powerful a group of rabble could be to fight against the water.

Anyway, retreat is death, advance is death, why not give up your life to advance? What if you open up a new world, put death in the place and live later?!

Time ticked by.

There is not much time left for Zhao Que.

If you delay a little time, the people of Bluestone City will be more dangerous.

After all, the rebellion in Qingshi City, in the eyes of Ma Hechuan and Huo Fengkang, was a real political achievement.

He went back to the inn, intending to change his clothes.

Cui Yuan and Ji Yue are there.

General Zhao, who had disappeared for a long time, finally returned.

The two were thrilled.

"General Zhao, something is wrong!"

As soon as they saw Zhao Que, they opened their mouths and said such a sentence.

Zhao Que was stunned, his thoughts flowed very quickly, and he went through all the things he could think of.

He opened the door, let the two of them in, and asked slowly, "What's wrong?

Cisse has a Confucian general with a very high status, second only to Pan Jitao and Shi Jingang, and a higher status than Li Mujian.

He often recites a sentence, "For the way of the general, the heart should be cured first." Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantly, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy. ”

Zhao Que agrees very much.

Ji Yue and Cui Yuan hurriedly clenched their fists and quickly said about the things that made the two of them mentally unbalanced: "General Zhao, there are four cities rebelling in Nanyangzhou, namely Qingshi City, Lingchang City, Jinchang City, and Guan Guangcheng. Qingshi City gathered a crowd to kill the defenders for the people, unveiled the flag and rebelled, Lingchang City and Jinchang City rebelled with the people for the defenders, and Guan Guangcheng killed the county guards for the local county and rebelled!"

After Zhao Que heard this, he was speechless for a long time, sighed, and said: "No wonder, Xue Jian sat in Jinlu City and asked Ma Hechuan and Huo Fengkang to lead troops to suppress the rebellion. ”

"General, Xue Jian is arrogant, and he must resent that Huo Fengkang led the troops forward, not himself, if we provoke in the middle, there should be unexpected miracles!" Ji Yue said in a deep voice.

Zhao Que looked at him and asked another thing: "How is Wei Ke's whereabouts?"

Ji Yue shook his head: "I don't have a clue at all." ”

Since the Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple was killed by Gongsun Qingfeng by mistake, Cui Yuan is liberation, and he is now dealing with the rebellion in Nanyangzhou.

Zhao Que lowered his head and pondered: "Looking at it this way, as long as I know it with emotion and reason, Xue Jian will not listen to me." ”

"General, you can test Xue Jian, but you can't be careless!" Cui Yuan persuaded.

Zhao Que snorted, "Other than that, is there anything else?"

The two glanced at each other and said solemnly: "The family of Xishu has fought with the soldiers guarding Xishu, and the news we have now is that the Linghu family took the initiative to stand up and reconcile, and I don't know if the reconciliation is successful." ”

Bai Wenlie said when he was in Qingshi City that the rebellion in Xishu was almost a certainty, and what the two said was not a surprising espionage.

Zhao Que walked around calmly, back and forth.

Ji Yue and Cui Yuan's eyes were resting on him, after all, the world is changing very quickly, and what they want to do next depends on Zhao Que's decision.

Finally, he stopped, sat down slowly, and poured tea for the two of them: "I'll go find Xue Jian, except for Bluestone City, don't worry about the rebellion in the other three cities." ”

"Ah?!Why?!" Ji Yue's eyes widened in disbelief.

Zhao Que said helplessly: "How to do it? I am the auxiliary general of Great Xia, could it be that I also rebelled and interfered in these things?!"

"Yes!" the two men got up and bent over him with fists clenched.

"Together, you will find the route of the march of the Ma River. ”

"I found it, Ma Hechuan didn't want to hide the march route at all. Cui Yuan said, "He and Nanyang Mu Huo Fengkang originally went to Qingshi City, and when they heard that Lingchang City's anti-thieves were stronger than Qingshi City, they turned around and led troops to Lingchang City, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the two sides will have to fight." ”

Zhao Que nodded: "Please find out who the current leader of Bluestone City is." ”

Cui Yuan received the order.

Not long ago, he was still dealing with the Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple in Jinlu City, and at first glance, even if Cui Yuan was the silver feather of the lark, many things had to come one by one.

"By the way, General, after the four people of the Yinhan Dart Bureau killed Si, they kept asking people to inquire about your whereabouts in Jinlu City. Cui Yuan said.

Zhao Que remembered.

Thinking about the demon monk in the Yinhan Dart Bureau, he was killed by the Taoist and the three of them.

None of their origins are trivial.

Zhao Que immediately said: "Don't pay attention to them, our time is expensive, and we don't play house games with them." ”

"Yes!"

Ji Yue took out an unopened envelope and wrote Zhao Gou Chen Qinqi.

Written by King Yu.

Zhao Que took a deep breath.

Every time he said something to let the two of them avoid it, he opened the envelope in front of them.

Just a piece of stationery.

There aren't many words either.

Zhao Que read it many times and handed the letter to Ji Yue and Cui Yuan.

After the two looked at it, they sighed heavily.

King Yu said that the court was in a mess, and the Son of Heaven simply did not go to court for a period of time, and the major affairs of the country were discussed by the cabinet, listing one, two, three, and handed over to the Son of Heaven for deliberation.

In addition, King Yu also said that the imperial court has no Son of Heaven, and there is a great chaos in Jiangjinzhou, and many people's minds began to fight his idea of being an auxiliary general, no matter how to say that Zhao Gouchen is also a general of the auxiliary country, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, but Zhao Gouchen now has no military power, is alone, and once he dies in a foreign country, the vacated position of the general of the auxiliary country will be a general stolen by the family in the capital.

King Yu lamented that Daxia, which was once in full swing, was caught in a struggle for power and profit, with the rebels of Jiang Jinzhou eyeing each other, and the Grassland Dynasty and the Dayue Dynasty outside.

"King Yu didn't say why!" Ji Yue said strangely.

That's right, the letter written by King Yu is known to the larks, and Zhao Que is also clear.

Zhao Que chewed on the news revealed in the letter in his heart, and suddenly woke up: "They want to take Cisse for the knife!"

"Who?!Haven't those people in the imperial court always been hostile to the Sisai army?" Cui Yuan asked.

Zhao Que shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not an outsider, but King Yu and others." ”

"Ahh

"Why?"

yes, why?

Zhao Que said eloquently: "King Yu wants to regain the Xicypriot army, and now the feasible way is to dismantle the generals who are loyal to me! Whether it is to make them fight among themselves, or to transfer them to Jiangjinzhou to suppress the rebellion, the only purpose is to control the Xisai army." ”

The two were still puzzled.

Although King Yu is a king with a different surname, and in the court to give advice, but King Yu, as the previous generation of Cisse generals, has always had a great influence on Cisse, if King Yu wants to do something, say a word to the Cisse army, is it possible that the veteran who is still in the army will disobey King Yu's orders?

This is also the reason why the Cisse lineage has endured for a long time in the imperial court.

With those princes of Gon who came from a big family, who dares to really offend the Cisse family?

The Cisse army can fight, but since the founding of the country, its prestige has never diminished in the slightest!

As for why those people dare to target Zhao Gouchen to the death, it's not that Xisai already has a King Yu, if Zhao Gouchen is killed, the Xisse family will definitely fight back, and they will never be burned, after all, the Xisai family of people on the surface is King Yu, not Zhao Gouchen, the general of the auxiliary country!

Zhao Que remembered the letter that King Yu had sent him in Qingshi City, as well as the six soldiers of the army, I am afraid that King Yu would have to determine where Zhao Que was and disturb his plans as early as that time.

Without Zhao Que being in Xisai, no one would believe it, and Pan Jitao, Lian Cheng and others of the Xisai Army would rebel!

Lin Xianlu's grandson, Hou Lin Chaotian, the youngest champion of Great Xia, really went to Xisai to get a ready-made bargain.

"I'm just afraid...... I am afraid that King Yu and Lin Xianlu have reached a conspiracy in private that is not known to outsiders. ”

Ah.

Ji Yue and Cui Yuan changed color together.

"Could it be that they want to use the Western Cypriot Army to overthrow Great Xia and become the Son of Heaven themselves?" Ji Yue asked tremblingly.

Lin Chaotian went to Xisai with far-reaching intentions.

"If you are not in your position, you don't want to be in power, hehe, I have come in a big circle, I, the auxiliary general who has no military power, turned out to be the king of Yu who helped me come!!" Zhao Que said in a trance.

"No, it's impossible! Speaking of which, King Yu is your master! A teacher for one day and a father for life! King Yu won't harm you!" Cui Yuan still didn't believe it, didn't believe it at all!

Zhao Que sighed.

His face was extremely ugly.

"The news that I was counterattacked by the Eight-Phase Dragon Python, they must have known, so ...... So...... Everything is done with a blind eye, just wait for me to die, I am dead, as the king of Yu of the previous generation of Xisai generals, plus the favored minister Lin Xianlu, and counting all the foreshadowing done now, the Xisai army can be used by them in the blink of an eye. ”

"Of course, these are just my guesses, yes or no, only if I'm dead, or I'm not dead, I'll verify it. ”

That's right, Zhao Que is dead, and the living will see it with their own eyes.

Zhao Que didn't die, at that time, naturally someone would let him die at any cost, and he would understand.

"We ...... What should we do?" Ji Yue and Cui Yuan were at a loss.

Zhao Que reinvigorated his spirits: "Find Wei Ke as quickly as possible and wash away his grievances for him." ”

"However, there is still a Xu Fengchen in the court! Xu Fengchen will not let you easily wash away your grievances for General Wei!"

The two knew some of the chess pieces that Zhao Que had buried.

However, Xu Fengchen, the big celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, is also not easy to provoke, not to mention that Xu Fengchen knows Zhao Que too well.

"Wei Ke's ability, King Yu knows, no matter what his purpose is, one more help is always good, and besides, he can't do this, I can only do it!" Zhao Que said word by word.

Ji Yue looked at Cui Yuan and said solemnly: "The mess in Nanyang is handed over to you, I must search for General Wei's whereabouts as soon as possible!"

Cui Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, we are all old buddies for many years, we know what to do!"

Zhao Que suddenly laughed: "Let's take it step by step, maybe my guess is all wrong, it's just my crankiness." ”

The two secretly said, General Zhao sat in Xisai, how many times he accurately predicted the actions of the Hanshan Dynasty, no matter how much he guessed, it would be incredible.

"In case of trouble, be steady, steady and urgent, I will go to Gongsun Qingfeng first, and then go to Xue Jian. Zhao Que decided.

"Miss Gongsun, as a martial arts genius on the rivers and lakes, taking her to Xue Jian's mansion is beneficial and harmless. ”

"Kill the demon monks of the Golden Buddha Temple, Miss Gongsun almost did it with one force, and we only fought with the others who suddenly appeared. ”

Zhao Que smiled: "Yes, I have to thank Miss Gongsun, after all, I have a share of inviting her to kill the demon monk of Huanxi Golden Buddha Temple." ”

The other is Zhao Sui.

The two coincided with each other's thoughts.

Cui Yuan said: "The general can rest assured, Miss Gongsun is at ease in the Golden Buddha Temple, although she has suffered a small injury, it is estimated that for Miss Gongsun, it is not much different from being bitten by a mosquito." ”
