Qianguo,

Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.

Vertical arch hall.

The young official held the information in his hand, and his face was as gloomy as water.

The hundred officials below tried their best to make a worried appearance, and the atmosphere in the court was a little weird.

"Smack!"

The official of Daqian smashed the fold in his hand on the table in anger, and said angrily: "Who can give me an explanation!?" ”

"600,000 troops!"

"Even if it's 100,000 pigs, the Yan people have to catch them for ten days, right?"

"But what about the result?"

"The 600,000-strong army didn't hold out even a day before they fled in defeat!"

"What do you want Yanren to think?"

"What do the people of my country think?"

"Could it be that this 600,000 army is not as good as 600,000 pigs, being driven away by 100,000 others."

Everyone was swearing to him that the Yan people were not to be afraid.

However, the fact is that now several prefecture capitals in Qiandi have fallen, and the army of their Qianguo has been beaten and embarrassed, and has completely become a laughing stock among other countries.

"Captain Gao!"

Zhao Yan turned his eyes and suddenly looked at the person below.

"Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

His eyes were gloomy.

If he hadn't had no choice, he would have dragged this group out and cut them down.

"Official!"

As soon as Zhao Yan's voice fell, Gao Mou stood up and said loudly: "Although Annan is guilty this time, the Western Army Division is also guilty. ”

"If he hadn't been able to come to his aid for a long time, why would he have been defeated."

"The original plan was to encircle the two sides, lure the Yan army out of the camp, and then send a surprise army to raid their camp, but because the division had not arrived, this led to the rout of the army."

"Officials, please rest assured that the main force of our army is still there, and the losses are not large."

"If the Yan people win this victory, they will be proud and complacent, and our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the Yan army will inevitably be defeated."

Zhao Yan sneered and was silent.

Although he didn't know how to fight, he didn't know anything about it.

Gao Mou was also a little helpless.

He is the one who protects, and now that something has happened, he will naturally be to blame.

Therefore, he must share the blame, and in his opinion, the teacher is a very suitable goal.

"Official's Mingjian!"

"Weichen is not effective in protecting his position, and he is willing to resign and return to his hometown."

This is a compromise ploy by Gao Mou.

He knew that the official family would not really let him resign and return to his hometown, so he had no fear.

The things of this world are not black and white, there is black and there is white.

Do you really think that the official family is so glamorous? There are some things that you don't have to do on your own.

At this moment, Taiwei He stood up and said angrily: "Wait for this group of traitors, don't want to deceive the official family!" ”

"Official!" Taiwei He said in a deep voice: "Weichen implores the official family to appoint the commander of the Western Army, Shi Youdao, as the commander of this time, and lead the Western Army to resist the enemy in order to resist the Yan State." ”

"If Yan Jun is allowed to gain a firm foothold, there will be endless troubles in the future."

Taiwei He's words resounded throughout the entire vertical arch hall.

This time, it was rare that no one else spoke out against it.

This group of scholars also knew that the Yan people would not give them such preferential treatment.

In their eyes, the Yan people are no different from the barbarians in the Northland, so they often call them Yan barbarians.

Now that the people recommended by Gao Taiwei are seeing a big defeat, if there is no one to carry the Ding, once the Yan people go south completely, everything they have now will disappear.

Zhao Yan frowned and was silent.

Shi Youdao already held the Western Army, and he was quite powerful, and he has always been very close to King Fu......

Putting hundreds of thousands of troops into his hands, he was not too relieved.

"Official!"

Seeing Zhao Yan's hesitation, Taiwei He suddenly said urgently: "There is no time to hesitate." ”

"Yan Jun won't wait for us!"

"Who can hang this handsome seal in the DPRK now!"

As soon as these words came out, many officials took a step back, for fear that they would be noticed.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Quasi-play!" ”

"Proposed purpose, Feng Shi Youdao is the general of Pingxi, the envoy of Wei Zhenjiedu, and the commander of the whole army."

Wei Zhen is a military town of Qianguo, as the envoy of Wei Zhenjiedu, almost including Annan, Suning provinces.

"Official Shengming!"

Everyone echoed in unison.

Mrs. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

The officials do not know the soldiers, but they should listen to persuasion, otherwise the country will be in danger.

Only Gao Mou's face was slightly gloomy.

That master has a way to deal with him, and he has to think of a way.

In fact, the best result is that the two sides can win one or two battles, and then use this to negotiate peace with the Yan people, and it is a big deal to cede those several state capitals.

Anyway, they are just some barren state capitals, and Daqian has nearly 100 state capitals, and they are not bad for those.

……

Suning City.

Shen Du and Shen Dingzhi had just finished enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

The prefect of Suning originally sent more than a dozen beauties from Qianguo, but they were all sent away by Shen Dingzhi with a wave of his hand.

"This group of cadres will really enjoy it!"

Shen Dingzhi was holding the wine jug, with an angry face.

For this dinner table, it is estimated that it will cost 1,000 taels of silver.

Think of himself, eating sand at the border every day, and even having to eat a meal of meat.

I don't know how many arrows and weapons can be crafted for a thousand taels.

Shen Du shook his head and smiled, put down his wine glass, and said, "I have something to do and need to leave for a while, and the Metropolitan Governor will bother Brother Shen to say something." ”

The day he agreed with the White Lotus Sect is approaching, and now that the matter on the side of Suning Mansion has been resolved, it is time to leave.

"Good!"

Shen Dingzhi nodded and didn't ask more.

With Shen Du's current strength, it is estimated that few people in the whole world can stop him.

Anyway, the army should not advance again, but stabilize the foundation of the territory.

There will be no fighting for at least a month.

As for these state capitals, they must all give a policy of appeasement, otherwise it is very easy to form a popular uprising.

After the banquet was dismissed, Shen Du quietly left and rushed to the place where he discussed with the White Lotus Sect.

……

Following

On the rivers and lakes, the death of Murong Qianqiu, the head of the Murong family, and Gai Lin, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, finally spread.

Zen Master Huiyin of Cihang Jianzhai fled in embarrassment.

Only the people of the Yue Nu Palace, who had not yet arrived, were lucky enough to survive.

Even the thousands of Jianghu people who gathered in Suning Mansion were slaughtered by the iron cavalry of the Yan army.

On the battlefield outside Suning City, the bloody atmosphere has not yet dissipated.

Some people in the rivers and lakes had the courage to go, but the scene they saw made them unable to eat for several days.

As soon as this news came out, it completely caused an uproar in the rivers and lakes of Qianguo.

This incident also silenced many small sect forces, and everyone was shocked by the ruthlessness of the Yan people.

For a while, many Jianghu sects began to wait and see, eager to see what these factions would do.

After all, the Yan Kingdom is menacing, and no one wants to live under the rule of the Yan people in the future.

The ensuing news of the defeat of the 600,000-strong army of the Qianguo made the people of the Qianguo even more panicked.

In the hearts of the people, even the forbidden army of the official family has been defeated, who can resist the Yan people?

……

Qianguo, South Barren Mountain.

This place is a forbidden place in Qianguo, full of poisonous miasma, forest poison insects are everywhere, and those who come here are also some Jianghu people who come to collect poisonous insects and poisonous flowers.

Even experienced herb pickers are dead and dead when they enter this place.

This is where the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is located.

Outside the South Barren Mountains.

Shen Du pushed open the door of an inn and stepped in.

Suddenly, the two people in the inn turned their eyes over.

Qu Huashang took the lead in getting up and saluting: "Shen Shen catches!" ”

There is another person beside her, who is the white-robed old man who surrounded and suppressed Yan Jingyi at the beginning.

"Lord Shen!"

Bai Wushan also got up and arched his hand, his expression slightly complicated.

How long has it been, and Shen Du has come to this point.

I thought that this son still needed to use their power to get rid of a god catcher, but now he has broken through the great names in the rivers and lakes one after another, and his fame has moved the world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that no one in the world knows you.

Shen Du bowed slightly, looked at Qu Huasheng, and asked, "It's just the two of you this time?" ”

"It's not." Qu Huashang shook his head and said, "There is also a holy envoy, as well as another holy woman. ”

"But they haven't arrived yet, we came here ahead of time."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Du instantly understood.

No force can be a harmonious group.

The White Lotus Sect is no exception.

As far as he knew, there was only one sect leader in the White Lotus Sect, but the Holy Maiden was not one, but many.

Within the White Lotus Sect, the Holy Maiden has always been cultivated in the way of raising Gu, and the competition is fierce.

When one of the saints is given the position of leader, the rest of the saints can only become protectors.

However, until the official selection of the leader, any saint is eligible to compete for the position of leader.

This time the Cave Heaven Blessed Land was able to attract all factions of the Demon Dao, which was obviously an ordinary Cave Heaven.

No wonder Qu Huashang would find himself to cooperate.

For these things, Shen Du didn't want to pay more attention to them.

"Let's go!"

Shen Du turned around and took out a pair of iron armor masks and put them on.

This is a treasure in the treasury of the Six Gates, which is a special treasure, which can be isolated from the exploration of the Yuan Shen of the strong Elephant, which is extremely rare.

Although he is not afraid of revealing his identity, it is a trouble to spread it after all.

What's more, it's more convenient to kill people like this, even if they capture any treasures, only Qu Huashang and the two of them know.

When the time comes, you just need to solve them, and all the problems will be solved.

He's a trouble-scared one.

……

Qu Huashang had come to see Shen Du in advance, so they still needed to join up with the rest of the White Lotus Sect.

Shen Duyi and his party came relatively early, and there were not many people outside the South Barren Mountain when they came.

Everyone waited for a long time, and a group of people came out of the barren forest, all dressed in black and black robes, exuding a strong demonic aura from their bodies, and they were full of ghosts.

The leader looked to be in his thirties, burly in armor, and held a halberd in his hand.

The halberd is pitch black, and it looks quite evil, giving people a chilling feeling.

It is still extremely rare for a martial artist to use Fang Tian's halberd on the rivers and lakes, and this kind of weapon is not at all something that ordinary people can control.

Although it looks quite mighty, if it can't be controlled, it is not as good as a knife in actual combat.

Therefore, those who dare to use Fang Tian's halberd are generally those who have excellent arm strength and are born with divine power.

Qu Huashang quietly said: "That is the Demon Venerable of the Demon Dao Demon Sect, Jiang Wu. ”

"This person is by no means a good type, even among the various sects of the Demon Dao, his reputation is quite great."

Jiang Wuwei glanced at Shen Duyi and his party, his gaze stayed on Shen Du for a moment, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Shen Du quietly glanced at it, if he didn't do it, it would be difficult to determine what level the other party was at.

The various factions of the Demon Dao have been extremely low-key over the years, but this does not mean that their power is weak.

At the beginning, the various factions of the Demon Dao were too high-profile, so they were jointly targeted and suppressed by the various righteous sects, and they have all learned to be smart over the years.

Qu Huashang whispered: "There are a total of eight Demon Venerables at the peak of this Demon Xiang Sect, all of whom are strong in the Law Elephant, and they can be called the leaders in the Demon Dao, and their status is not weaker than Shaolin in the Buddhist Sect. ”

"It's just that several Demon Venerables were damaged later, and the Demon Sect has rarely walked on the rivers and lakes since then."

The various factions of the Demon Dao were able to fight with the decent factions of the rivers and lakes at the beginning, and they were by no means general.

It's just that none of the various factions of the Demon Dao obey anyone, and it is difficult to unite and act independently, so they are broken one by one by many decent factions, and by the time they react, it is too late.

Qu Huashang sighed: "If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that this time the Cave Heaven Blessed Land was opened, many Demon Dao sects wouldn't even have the opportunity to participate." ”

This time, it seems that only Jiang Wu, the Dharma Elephant Realm, came to the Demon Aspect Sect, and the rest of the people are all disciples of the Demon Aspect Sect.

Not long after the arrival of the people from the Demon Sect, a group of figures wearing black and red robes suddenly walked in the distance.

The leader was an old man, with a gloomy face, blind in one eye, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth at all times, and the disciples behind him were also strange-looking, extremely ugly.

However, the strength of this group of people is not weak, and the weakest ones have the strength of the unity of heaven and man.

It seems that the various factions of the Demon Dao have cultivated and regained something over the years.

Qu Huashang whispered: "They are members of the Heavenly Remnant Sect. ”

"This sect is dedicated to the physically deficient, because many children have been bullied since childhood and have been cultivated in the Demon Path, so their personalities are particularly extreme and extremely murderous."

"The person at the head should be Jiang Ming, the 'Eyeless General' of the Heavenly Remnant Sect."

To tell the truth, although the White Lotus Sect often demagogies and incites the people to rebel, it rarely kills innocents indiscriminately and kills people wantonly.

On the contrary, they often gave money and food to the people.

"Hey, hey!" Jiang Ming suddenly smiled coldly, and arched his hand at Jiang Wu: "Lord Demon Venerable, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Jiang Ming obviously knew Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu looked indifferent, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was not annoyed, "hehe" smiled, turned his head to look at Qu Huasheng, and said with a light smile: "Whose little doll is this, it looks handsome, it is better to go back to me as a concubine." ”

Bai Wushan frowned slightly, and said coldly, "It's better to ask my sect leader about this matter." ”

Jiang Ming smiled in a low voice.

"There are a few people from the White Lotus Sect this time."

His gaze swept over Bai Wushan, and then fell on Shen Du, with a scrutinizing meaning.

He didn't pay attention to Bai Wushan, but this person gave him a faint sense of danger.

"I don't know which Holy Envoy of the White Lotus Sect this is?"

Jiang Ming asked happily as if jokingly.

Shen Du was indifferent, just glanced at Jiang Ming with a cold gaze.

Seeing this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes.

However, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, just stared at Shen Du coldly for a while.

Suddenly, a blazing cloud struck the sky in the distance, and the earth scorched by the blazing flames cracked, and the temperature around it suddenly rose.

Shen Du turned his head to look, and the person who came was a child who looked to be only ten years old, with a bunch of pigtails, a young face, and a red belly pocket wrapped around his body.

It's just that the belly pocket is not a child's belly pocket, but a woman's belly pocket, embroidered with an obvious mandarin duck pattern.

Seeing the visitor, Qu Huashang subconsciously avoided it, with an unfortunate expression, and said in a low voice: "That's the Holy Fire Boy of the Fire Demon Palace." ”

"Don't look at him as a child, his real age is already hundreds of years old, I heard that this person is a cultivator who has gone crazy, so he has become like this."

"And this man likes women's underwear, and I don't know which woman took his belly pocket from."

"And this person is lustful, but he has become like this again, and he can't do humane things, so he likes to torture women."

Shen Du smiled softly and said calmly: "There really isn't a good thing." ”

Shen Du's voice was not hidden, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

The Holy Fire Boy was suspended barefoot in mid-air, and a pair of eyes glanced left and right, and suddenly froze on Qu Huasheng.

The smile on his face gradually became evil, with a bit of coldness.

Qu Huasheng's face immediately changed.

Not good!

At this moment, his figure disappeared in place and went straight to Qu Huashang.

Bai Wushan snorted coldly, raised his hand and palmed it up.

The wind is howling!

"Bang!"

Flame Soaring!

With a bang, the two of them each took a few steps back.

It's just that Shen Du can see clearly, in fact, Bai Wushan is falling into the disadvantage.

This flame boy has some means.

Seeing that Bai Wushan was not a good stubble, the Holy Fire Boy smiled playfully and soon stood in one place.

Jiang Wu and the others also withdrew their gazes.

The Demon Dao is like this, pay attention to the weak and the strong, if Bai Wushan is not good, then they will be the first to eliminate them, and there will be one less person to fight.

What's more, the White Lotus Sect was already hated by them.

It's just that they are easily reluctant to do it, after all, this time the cave is the point.

Not long after the two fought, there was a burst of hearty laughter in the distance.

"Amitabha!"

As the voice fell, two men with big bellies and shaved heads, dressed as monks, stepped forward.

It's just that there is no scar on the top of their heads.

At first glance, the faces of these two people are very similar, and they are even more smiling, giving people a kind look, and inadvertently giving birth to a good impression.

There were dozens of people behind him, all dressed as monks.

But this group of people is not from Shaolin, but the Maitreya Sect, which is known as the two major cults along with the White Lotus Sect.

Unlike the White Lotus sect and the various schools of Buddhism, the Maitreya sect studies the Buddha's exercises.

They claim to be Maitreya, but what they do has nothing to do with the Buddhas, and as for the precepts, they will not abide by them.

Different from the empowerment secret technique of the White Lotus Sect, the Maitreya Sect takes the path of double cultivation, and often takes away some women from decent sects in the rivers and lakes and uses them as furnaces and double cultivation.

For these two people, without Qu Huasheng's introduction, Shen Du also knew their identities.

There are many records of Maitreya Buddhism in the Six Gates.

The two of them looked crying and laughing, forming a stark contrast, which is the "crying and laughing" in Maitreya's teaching.

One is called "Heavenly Crying", and the other is called "Earth Laughter", and they are even called "Heavenly Crying Buddha" and "Earth Laughing Buddha" in Maitreya Buddhism.

As soon as the people from the Maitreya Sect came, they stared at Bai Wushan and laughed softly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Bai seems to be more energetic." ”

"I don't know if this is ......"

They also had a lot of dealings with the White Lotus Sect, and they all knew each other in the White Lotus Sect.

This man wears a mask, and it's hard not to be suspicious.

Bai Wushan said lightly: "Naturally, I teach the strong!" ”

He knew that Shen Du was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Oh?"

Tian Wai glanced at Shen Du deeply, staring at Shen Du thoughtfully.

The cry of heaven is called the cry of heaven, but it is always smiling.

At this time, another group of people from the White Lotus Sect in the distance also rushed over.

It's just that unlike what Qu Huashang said, there are two Dharma elephant powerhouses beside that holy woman.

One of them was a member of the White Lotus Sect, while the other was a middle-aged man with two crescent chakras on his back, and his face was extremely unfamiliar.

The White Lotus Sect saintess was wearing a green dress, different from Qu Huashang's bone charm, this person seemed to be more superficial, with charming makeup, and a long skirt was also deliberately shown everywhere.

Qu Huashang frowned slightly.

Obviously, she didn't expect her competitor to also find a foreign player.

Everyone looked at this scene with a slightly playful expression.

Regarding the White Lotus Sect, they naturally knew about it.

That's good news for them, otherwise it's a real nuisance.

Jiang Wu said coldly: "Since everyone is almost here, then I'll wait and leave." ”

"Those guys don't seem to be coming."

Although there are many sects of the Demon Dao, the strong ones are those.

The ones that have not appeared so far are the Yin Kui faction and the Mending Heaven Pavilion faction.

As for the Ming Sect and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, although the scale is large, it is a lack of background and a lack of real masters in the sect.

Obviously, you won't be involved in this kind of thing, and it's not interesting to come.

Jiang Wu said in a deep voice: "But Jiang's ugly words are ahead, and the cave blessed land has not yet appeared at this moment, so you had better restrain yourself, so as not to make too much movement." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, no one wants to attract those who are right.
