Under the onslaught of the soldiers of the Liuyun Kingdom, they were quickly crushed and scattered.

Zhao Qi slowly landed on the battlefield and looked at everything around him. His heart was filled with joy and pride. He knew that in this battle, he had made great achievements for the Liuyun Country, and he had also won endless honors for Tianyangmen.

"Qi'er, you're doing a great job." Elder Chenguang's voice sounded in Zhao Qi's ears again, "Tianyangmen is proud of you. ”

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that all of this was inseparable from the cultivation and support of his master and his disciples.

He buried this gratitude deep in his heart and vowed to work harder to cultivate and seek well-being for the common people in the world.

In the barracks under the cover of night, bonfires were blazing, and soldiers sat in a circle, talking in whispers about the day's battle.

Zhao Qi sat alone by the camp tent not far away, staring at the dancing fire with a solemn face.

"Zhao Ceshi, why are you sitting here alone?" A familiar voice broke the silence, and it turned out to be Qin Ming walking over.

Zhao Qi looked up at Qin Ming, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Brother Qin, haven't you slept yet?" ”

Qin Ming sat next to Zhao Qi and sighed, "Although this war has been won, I feel that things are not so simple. ”

Zhao Qi nodded and said in a deep voice: "I also feel it, there seems to be something wrong in the army." ”

"You mean......" Qin Ming lowered his voice, "Someone is dissatisfied with you?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Qi nodded, "Since I sacrificed immortals, although I have won the respect of the soldiers, it has also aroused the jealousy and suspicion of some people. ”

Qin Ming frowned: "These people are too ignorant, if it weren't for you, they would have become the enemy's sword ghosts." ”

Zhao Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People's hearts are unpredictable." And, I also noticed some strange things. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Qin Ming asked curiously.

Zhao Qi looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he whispered: "I suspect that there are traitors in the army." ”

"Mole?" Qin Ming was taken aback, "Are you sure?" ”

Zhao Qi nodded: "Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, I always feel that something is wrong." For example, Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng's behavior is very suspicious. ”

"Xiang Chuanfeng?" Qin Ming frowned, "Isn't he your junior brother?" How could it be ......"

"I don't know." Zhao Qi sighed, "But I don't feel like he's that simple." He often acts alone, making secret contact with unknown people. Moreover, he also behaved somewhat abnormally in the war. ”

Qin Ming listened to Zhao Qi's words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew that Zhao Qi was not a person who liked unwarranted suspicion, and since he said so, there must be a reason for him.

"And what are you going to do now?" Qin Ming asked.

A hint of firmness flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes: "I want to investigate this matter secretly, and I must find out this traitor." ”

Qin Ming nodded: "Okay, I support you." Where you need help, just say. ”

The two chatted for a while, and then went back to their tents to rest. However, Zhao Qi couldn't sleep while lying on the bed.

He knew that the days ahead would be even more difficult and dangerous. But no matter what, he has to persevere, for the sake of Tianyangmen and the people of Liuyun Country.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qi got up and started to get busy. While dealing with the affairs of the army, he secretly observed the movements of the people around him. However, at the end of the day, he didn't find any valuable clues.

In the evening, Zhao Qi walked alone on the path outside the barracks. He was a little irritable and anxious, and he didn't know what to do. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side.

"Senior Brother Zhao Qi!" The visitor shouted in a low voice.

Zhao Qi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan. They walked up to Zhao Qi with a mysterious expression, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one before they spoke: "Senior brother, we heard that you have been in some trouble recently?" ”

Zhao Qi smiled bitterly: "You guys are quite well-informed. ”

"That's nature." Yi Wuxiao smiled proudly, "Senior brother, your business is our business." Say, what do we need to do? ”

Zhao Qi looked at the two of them, and his heart warmed. He knew he wasn't alone. So, he told the two of them about his doubts and intentions.

After listening to Zhao Qi's words, Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan both showed solemn expressions.

They know that this is a trivial matter and must be handled with care. After some deliberation, the three decided to divide up and work together to investigate the clues of the matter.

In the following days, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Zhang Youyuan began to work closely together.

They used their respective expertise and advantages to secretly investigate in the military. Although they also encountered some difficulties during the period, the three of them resolved them one by one with wisdom and courage.

The night is like ink, and a cold moon hangs high in the sky. In the barracks, the soldiers had long since fallen asleep, and only a few sentry posts were still patrolling vigilantly.

However, on this seemingly calm night, an aura of intrigue is quietly spreading.

In a corner of the barracks, several figures gathered sneakily, it was the secret agent sent by the Spirit Sword Sect. They looked cunning and discussed in a low voice how to frame Zhao Qi.

"Zhao Qi's kid is now gaining prestige, and we must find a way to get rid of him." An agent gritted his teeth.

"That's right, as long as Zhao Qi is eliminated, the army of the Liuyun Kingdom will be leaderless, and then our Spirit Sword Sect can take advantage of the opportunity to enter." Another agent chimed in.

After some discussion, they decided to spread rumors that Zhao Qi was a spy of the enemy country in an attempt to undermine the unity of the army. In order to make the rumors more realistic, they also deliberately falsified some so-called "evidence".

Early the next morning, rumors about Zhao Qi began to spread in the barracks.

The soldiers talked a lot, and their attitude towards Zhao Qi also changed subtly. When Zhao Qi learned the news, his heart sank, he knew that someone was deliberately framing him.

"Zhao Ceshi, have you heard? It is rumored that you are a spy of the enemy country. A soldier cautiously walked up to Zhao Qi and said.

Zhao Qi looked at the soldier and smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm a spy?" ”

The soldier hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, but I believe that Zhao Ceshi you are not that kind of person." ”

Zhao Qi patted the soldier's shoulder: "Thank you for believing in me." These rumors were deliberately spread with the aim of undermining the unity of our army. We can't fall for them. ”

However, the rumors did not stop spreading because of Zhao Qi's explanation. On the contrary, it has a tendency to intensify.

Even some generals began to be suspicious of Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi knew that he had to find out who was behind the rumors as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, Zhao Qi began to secretly investigate the matter. Using his wits and cunning, he soon discovered some clues. These clues point to one person-Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng.

Zhao Qi's heart was shocked, he couldn't believe that his junior brother would betray him. However, the facts are in front of him, and he can't help but believe it. Zhao Qi decided to personally question Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng.

He found Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng and asked bluntly, "Xiang Chuanfeng, did you spread the rumors outside?" ”

Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sly smile: "Senior Brother Zhao Qi, what are you talking about?" How could I spread rumors to frame you? ”

Zhao Qi looked at him coldly: "Do you still want to deny it?" I have conclusive evidence that you are behind the rumors. ”

Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Senior Brother Zhao Qi, you misunderstood. I'm doing this for your own good. Do you know? Someone wants your life, and I just want to help you uncover their plot in advance. ”

Zhao Qi listened to the words of Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng, and sneered in his heart. He knew that Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng was deliberately quibbling and trying to confuse the public.

However, he did not expose the lies of Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng on the spot. Because he knows that now is not the time.

He decided to make a plan and use the lies of Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng to lure out the real mastermind behind the scenes.

He deliberately pretended to believe the words of Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng and expressed his gratitude to him. Then he secretly observed the movements of Xiang Chuanfeng's junior brother, and wanted to find out the real enemy along the vine.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Zhao Qi imagined. Senior Brother Xiang Chuanfeng seemed to sense Zhao Qi's intentions and began to become cautious.

His whereabouts also became more secretive, making it impossible for Zhao Qi to trace his whereabouts.

The night is getting darker, and the lights in the military camp of Liuyun Country are bright. Zhao Qiduan sat in the tent, his brows furrowed, and a military map was spread out in front of him.

The recent rumors and suspicions have made him feel unprecedented pressure. Although he still maintains his composure on the surface, deep down he is turbulent.

Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew on the face, and the tent curtain was gently lifted.

A figure of an immortal wind dao bone walked in, it was the Qinglong Dao Master from the immortal cultivation realm. He was dressed in a green robe, holding a whisk in his hand, his beard and hair were all white, but his face was ruddy, and he looked in good spirits.

"Zhao Qi Xiaoyou, don't come to harm." Qinglong Dao Chang greeted with a smile.

When Zhao Qi saw that it was the Qinglong Daoist, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Junior Zhao Qi, I have seen the Qinglong senior." The seniors are coming, and the younger generations are disappointed, and they hope to forgive their sins. ”

Qinglong Dao Chang waved his hand and signaled Zhao Qi not to be polite: "I heard that Xiaoyou has encountered some trouble recently, so I came here to help. ”

When Zhao Qi heard this, his heart warmed, and he told the Qinglong Daoist about what had happened recently.

After hearing this, Daoist Qinglong frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "These rumors and suspicions are obviously deliberately done by someone. Have you ever thought about how to deal with it? ”

Zhao Qi smiled bitterly: "Although the younger generation has thought of some solutions, they have always felt that they are not comprehensive enough. The wisdom of the predecessors is outstanding, and I hope that the seniors will guide the maze. ”

Qinglong Dao Chang stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not difficult to say this, it's not easy to say." The key is to find the source of the rumors and then bust them in one fell swoop. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen communication with other generals and dispel their doubts. ”

After Zhao Qi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice." The younger generation must do so. ”

Daoist Qinglong nodded, and then said, "In addition, I need to remind you of one more thing. When you are in the military, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of temptations and traps. Be sure to keep a clear head and a firm belief and never be taken advantage of by others. ”

Zhao Qi nodded solemnly: "The juniors remember the teachings of their predecessors. ”

Seeing Zhao Qi's sincere attitude, the Qinglong Dao Elder was very relieved. He patted Zhao Qi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's not too early." Go and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to find the source of the rumors. ”

Zhao Qi was grateful and thanked him repeatedly. Daoist Qinglong smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qi and the Qinglong Daoist began an investigation together.

After much trouble, they finally found the source of the rumors - a soldier who had been bought by the enemy.

The soldier confessed everything under torture. Zhao Qi and Qinglong Dao Chang Shun Teng touched the melons and wiped out the traitors hidden in the army.

The rumors were self-defeating, and unity in the army was once again consolidated. Zhao Qi's prestige has also reached its peak. He looked at the Qinglong Dao Elder gratefully and bowed deeply: "Thank you seniors for your help." The younger generation is toothless and unforgettable. ”

Qinglong Dao Chang helped Zhao Qi up and said with a smile: "Little friends don't have to be polite. I came to help this time, and it was also in accordance with God's will. Now that the crisis has been resolved, it's time for me to go back to the mountains to cultivate. ”

Zhao Qiyi reluctantly bid farewell to the Qinglong Daoist. He knew that he was able to resolve the crisis this time thanks to the help of the Qinglong Dao Chief.

The moonlight is like water, and the ancient pines outside the Tianyang Gate are gently swaying in the night breeze. Zhao Qi stood alone on the edge of the cliff, looking at the mountains in the distance, and an indescribable melancholy surged in his heart.

The wars and strife that had gone on for days had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, a purple glow fell from the sky and slowly fell in front of Zhao Qi.

The glow dissipated, revealing a fairy dressed in purple, with a beautiful face and an elegant temperament, like Chang'e descending from the Moon Palace.

"You are Zhao Qi?" The purple-clothed fairy asked, her voice as beautiful as heaven.

Zhao Qi was slightly stunned, and then bowed his hand and said, "It's down." I don't know if the fairy has arrived, what advice do you have? ”

The purple-clothed fairy smiled slightly and said, "I am the Purple Cloud Fairy, a mysterious sect from the immortal cultivation world. I heard that you have performed well in this war, not only with wisdom and courage, but also with the resolution of many crises. ”

Zhao Qiyan's heart moved. He had long heard all kinds of legends in the world of cultivating immortals, and knew that it was a world full of mystery and fantasy.

But he also knew that once he stepped on the path of cultivating immortals, it meant giving up everything in the world and pursuing the ethereal realm of immortality.

In the following days, Zhao Qi was dealing with the affairs of the army while thinking about his future.

He would often stand alone on the edge of the cliff in a daze, looking at the mountains in the distance. Whenever this happens, an inexplicable impulse and desire swells up in his heart, wanting to give up everything and pursue the ethereal path of cultivating immortals.
