Chapter 55: The Spy
"Follow me, I know the way!"
Six soldiers led the crowd back and forth through the jungle.
Xuanzhen and the others followed.
The scout seemed familiar with the area, and showed no signs of getting lost.
The first few scouts jumped back and forth, stopping from time to time to wait for the crowd.
"What a strong master." Xuan Zhen was secretly shocked in his heart.
Liu Yuan, who was the leader, could even leap into a tree's trunk one foot high, and their speed was also very fast, if it weren't for waiting for them, I am afraid that they would have already thrown off the pursuers.
"Could it be that the White Emperor Sect has an ancient martial secret recipe?" Hyun Zhen can only think like this.
Liu Yuan lowered his speed, and there was a very high drop in front of him, about fifteen zhang.
"Get around!"
Everyone walked along the cliff, and the drop became lower and lower, and finally reached about five zhang.
There were branches growing on the cliff wall, and Liu Yuan jumped up first.
"Safe, you guys come up."
With the support of the scouts, everyone went down layer by layer, and finally went down the cliff.
Liu Yuan jumped up again and cut down the trees from top to bottom.
"They're there!!"
While everyone was going down, the Tartars' pursuers arrived.
Liu Yuan glanced at them, the number of the other party was not large, but if it dragged on, the army would definitely come, and they would not be able to leave if they wanted to.
He looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, Shigang Village is nearby." ”
It was a zigzag walk again, and everyone shook off the pursuers.
Liu Yuan took out the cloth bag around his waist and took out a few pieces of brown dry food.
"Let's eat something first=, Daochang Li is waiting for us in front."
Several of the other scouts pulled out their things.
Xuanzhen and the others devoured it, and they were full and hungry these days, and they didn't care about their demeanor.
After two bites of biscuits, Xuan Zhen was surprised to find that he felt full quickly, this biscuit was very hard and frighteningly sweet, and he had strength after only half eating.
Xuan Zhen was not greedy, and handed the remaining half of the cake to another disciple.
He walked quickly to Liu Yuan's side and asked, "Are the eight hundred cavalry the advance force?" Does Xu Tianshi still have a backhand? ”
For this Xu Tianshi, in fact, Xuan Zhen had a negative opinion at first.
After all, the style of the White Emperor Sect is different from traditional Taoism.
Traditional Taoism is transcendent from the outside of things, and treats the mundane with the mentality of playing red dust.
Even if they are entangled with political power, they are still taking the upper line and accepting rewards and respect from the top.
It may be the influence of the ancient Wudou Rice Dao, and there are almost few Taoist organizations to develop the power of the lower classes of the people, or even establish organizations. This coincides with the likes of Zhang Jiao and Sun En in ancient times.
But after experiencing the current events, Xuan Zhen felt that this was too right, and Taoist orthodoxy had to be maintained like this.
"There are only 800 people, there is no advance and then dispatch, there are many people and the goal is big, otherwise it will be another battle."
The battle is not so easy to fight, and it is not a gathering of national strength.
"I know."
"You don't have to worry, the Heavenly Master came in person, even if the Tartars have thousands of troops, it will not be a problem."
"Xu Tianshi's prestige is known to the world, and the Tartars will not dare to attack!" Hyun Jin said.
In fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, Xu Tianshi was probably an extremely strong martial arts master, even much stronger than Liu Yuan.
But the force of mortals is simply too insignificant for an army.
Ordinary top technical masters, against a lightly armed army of twenty people, can still be defeated.
If you are facing an army wearing heavy armor, it is estimated that you can only deal with people three or five, but there is no difference between them and ants in the army, and the master will have to die.
As for the means of summoning the Divine Dragon, he directly ignored it.
The world always has too many conjectures about Taoist priests, and as the lord of Zhongnan Mountain, the world has also made up many legends of their own, such as what is the middle of the night to judge the king of Hades, down the mountain and descend the dragon and so on.
Outside the woods.
Another group of men and horses were waiting in place, many of them empty, they seemed to be waiting for someone.
Not far away, a corpse lay on the ground.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
On horseback, Li Changsheng rubbed his thighs that were a little sore, he had just undergone surgery a few days ago, and his strength was strong, and his strength had reached eight hundred catties, but there were still a lot of sequelae.
The most important prescription of the White Emperor Sect is Xiaoqing Longsan, which, combined with the breathing method, can enhance qi and blood, so that people have the power to surpass ordinary people.
Since Chongzhen invented the microscope, it became easier to absorb Qinglongsan.
Xie Miao created the technique of absorbing the essence of Qinglong Powder in the body, directly injecting the liquid into the muscles to achieve the purpose of rapid absorption, of course, the pain in it can collapse a person, so if you want to become a talent quickly, you also need people with super willpower.
Whoosh!
A group of men staggered out of the woods.
"It's coming! Who is the Xuanzhen Sect Master? ”
"It's exactly under it!"
"Please follow me, the Celestial Master is waiting ahead!"
The group set off for Shigang Village, two miles away.
On the other side, Nanyang City.
This place is the place where the cadres are stationed.
In the city, the people's livelihood is withering, the people have vegetables on their faces, and many people have braids on the back of their heads.
As a frontier place, there are the most soldiers here, there are golden soldiers, and a large number of Han Eight Banners.
The leader of this place is Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who was listed as one of the must-kill lists by the southern court, and the so-called must-kill lists are generally traitors, and they are also traitors who have committed unforgivable crimes.
Those who are not on the list can still fight for leniency, but Wu Sangui will not be forgiven, and if he is caught, he will be punished by the Nine Clans, and his head is worth a marquis.
The house is extremely luxurious, well guarded, and there is not a moment of leisure.
In the study, the dark fragrance floats, and someone is sitting at the desk reading a book.
It was a tall, middle-aged man with pale skin, deep-set eyes, and two mustaches, who looked like a scholar.
This person is Wu Sangui.
Emperor Qianqing named him the king of Pingxi and ordered him to lead his troops to the south of the Yangtze River.
The two big battalions were eyeing each other, which made him unable to parry.
And raising Kou's self-esteem is to secretly communicate with Kou's side, who knows that Xu Yong's kid didn't listen to it at all, and even made a nirvana list.
This made Wu Sangui a little speechless.
"The southern barbarian species, the monkey and the crown, do you still want to go on the Northern Expedition?" Wu Sangui cursed.
doesn't understand the slightest bit of politics, and directly does things absolutely, even Chongzhen is not so brainless.
Wu Sangui thinks that he is not a traitor, after all, it is for self-preservation, and Chongzhen is not worth taking refuge in, but anyone who is loyal to Chongzhen will basically end up with a ruined family, but the warlords with bad intentions can be treated preferentially.
As for being loyal to the barbarian Taiji, it is even more impossible, the Wu family has been dealing with barbarians for generations, and they look down on this thing from the bottom of their hearts.
If Xu Yongken cooperates, he still has a lot of room for maneuver, such as raising his own weight and eating both sides, no one can help himself, and the future fortune will not fall on the head of the Wu family.
"Report!"
At this time, the pro-soldier reported.
"What's the matter?"
"There seem to be traces of small-scale Chang army activities in the southwest, according to the spies, it seems that it is the leader of the White Emperor Sect, and the elder brother of Emperor Han Chang personally leads the troops."
"What?" Wu Sangui's eyes lit up, "How many people?" ”
"No more than a thousand."
"Okay, well, gather people and horses to catch thieves with me!"
The opportunity to break the game has finally arrived.
