Outside Binzhou City, the former Binzhou capital has become a temporary military city for the forward army of the Zhou army.

With the help of tall city defense and abundant troops, the Zhou army, which had failed in the attack, basically retreated to the city, relying on the advantage of defending the city, but it was not so easy to attack and capture.

"Report! General Qiqi, the lord sent a letter, our army has conquered Jiameng Pass, is storming Sanshan Pass, and please continue to insist, reinforcements will arrive soon! ”

Nangong Shiyan, who was inspecting the city defense, showed a wry smile when he heard this.

Looking at the soldiers around him with yellow muscles and chapped lips, he didn't know how long he could hold out.

"Quickly return to the sovereign, Nangong Shi will do his best to protect the soldiers of my Zhou State, but Meng Ji's army has already cleared the walls of Binzhou City, and there is no water and food, and the military food may only be enough for two months, so please support the lord quickly!"

"No!"

The commander retreated, and the deputy general Xu Zhang, who was on standby, hesitated, and after following all the way, he finally stepped forward and gritted his teeth and suggested: "General, half a month's military rations are divided into two months to eat, and the hunger in the stomach is only enough to barely live, and the morale and physical strength of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, how can this hold the enemy's attack?" ”

"The people in the city may still have food in stock, or they ......"

Nangong Shi was furious, turned around and pushed Xu Zhang down, pointed his nose and scolded: "My Zhou country is a state of etiquette, and the lord is even more famous for his benevolence, righteousness and sage, and our army is a division of benevolence and righteousness to conquer Hexi, recovering the mountains and rivers of the homeland. ”

Since ancient times, it is difficult to seize land and operate, but now the local nobles in Binzhou did not rebel, but would sell some grain to the Zhou army for emergency relief, which is to see the good reputation of the Zhou State for the nobles to be friendly, and give the greatest help.

If this makes the reputation stink, not only will the Binzhou nobles deviate from morality, but it will also affect the name of benevolence and righteousness of Xibohou.

Well, even if you succeed in breaking through in the end and get the greatest feat, I'm afraid that you will be taken down by the lord to be angry with the people, and the mercy point will be directly hidden, and the means will be fierce, and it is not impossible to behead and hang at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public.

But the problem of hunger cannot be solved, in case the extremely hungry soldiers mutinied, so what should be done?

"Zhang, today's matter, I haven't heard of it, people must learn to have their own judgment, to learn to make their own decisions, I do not advocate that you will feed the people, but I will never object to you in dealing with some trivial things, learn to act independently."

After that, Nangong Shi continued to walk forward, Xu Zhang gritted his teeth and looked at the general's back, clenching his fists, as if he was trying his best to hide something.

He looked around, at the brave robes on the city wall, and they kept swallowing their spittle, looking at him with blank eyes.

Xu Zhang angrily threw his skewer to the ground, took off the general's armor, and walked to the barracks angrily with a group of personal soldiers.

"Report!!"

"General Qiqi, outside the city, Wu Dang's guy has come to the division to fight again, please show the general."

"It's too much to deceive people, that kid just beheaded my two generals yesterday, and today he came to provoke again? I only hate that Wei Ben, the general of the Zhou Kingdom, is not here, otherwise An can make Xiao'er famous? ”

Nangong Shi was furious, looking around, but no one dared to look at him.

They are not stupid, they have been fighting for more than half a year, and the powerful generals have long died on the way to break through, and now there are few who can stay in the city and are known for their bravery.

Even if there is such a character, it will not be easily released and consumed on the Zhishi fighting general, so it has to be left for the future when he breaks through again, and he will be a sharp spearhead in front.

Seeing that no one responded to the battle, Nangong Shi was annoyed, turned around and led a group of adjutants straight to the post house in the city, standing outside the hall and asking loudly: "I am waiting for you to come here just to make a judgment on several generals of the enemy, Wu Dang and Zhao Bing have exceeded the force of ordinary people, shouldn't they intervene in the war of mortals such as us?" ”

The questioning voice attracted the attention of a group of merchants and the people of the city, and everyone paid close attention to the movements here.

After a long while, the post house opened the door, and two immortals walked out of it, on one side was Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, a helper invited by Zhou Guo, and on the other side was Yu Yuan, a watcher invited by Meng Ji.

The two of them happened to represent the exposition and interception of the teachings, assisting in the adjudication of the war between the Zhou and Ji countries, and deciding whether the two sides should send immortal cultivators who surpassed the power of mortals in the confrontation between the two armies.

At the beginning, it was Zhao Binglian who beheaded the military generals of the Zhou State, and several failures to break through to the north, so that the famous armor brought out by Nangong Shi was lost, so that the real people invited the immortals of the Yuxu Palace to testify.

Zhao Bing was also ruled by Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun not to participate in the war, and directly froze the possibility of fighting.

At that time, it also made Nangong Shi happy for a while, after all, just Zhao Bing standing there with two big copper hammers was enough to make people feel frightened and dare not dare to be sharp.

But without Zhao Bing, Huang Feihu took Wu Dang to join the battlefield and beheaded two of the few generals.

One Qi Immortal Yu Yuan glanced at Nangong Shi indifferently, arched his hand towards Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun behind him, and then set up a dark cloud and flew out of the city.

Everyone really wanted to ask Manjushri, shouldn't Yu Yuan be in Mengji's camp? Why did it appear in the city with such a bang?

If it weren't for the rumors that the sect and the sect were in the same situation, and he was not the opponent of the two immortals, Nangong Shi really wanted to grab Manjushri's robe, and asked the reason.

Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun held the dust in his hand, looking like a fairy wind and bones, and there was a white cloud boy with a compelling aura behind him, just the appearance of the master and apprentice, it couldn't help but make people feel good.

Nangong Shi's eyes were blazing, but he had no choice but to ask softly: "Daoist Manjusri, Wu Dang is obviously not an ordinary person, why don't you ignore it?" ”

"Humph!"

"This one doesn't work, that one doesn't work either, is it possible that as long as you are a little brave, you are all cultivators? Originally, Zhao Bing had no teacher, and the other did not practice, and all the gains he gained were between the battle arrays, and he was tempered between life and death, so the poor road should not favor Er, but Zhao Bing's strength was really not comparable to that of Er, so he was biased by his conscience. ”

"Wu Dang has no great power, and he can't spell, but he is a little faster, his reaction is more sensitive, and he still belongs to the mortal category, how do you want to rule the poor way? Directly kill Yu Yuan, and simply sentence you to victory? ”

Nangong Shi has unspeakable suffering, where is he a little faster? That's a billion points, ordered to shoot random arrows, Wu Dang's guy can retreat like a butterfly through a flower, and the generals on his side were picked off the horse before they had gone through two moves, how can this be fought?

"Michichi!! If we can't restrain the generals on the opposite side, how can our army break through? ”

Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun sneered: "What do I do about this? I'm not the national teacher of your Zhou Kingdom, besides, if I help you rule arbitrarily, whether you are defeated or won a big victory, won't it be the result of the guidance of poor interference? ”

"If the strength is insufficient, you should hide it and not send it, honestly shrink under the Qishan Mountain to cultivate obscurity, it is you who want to fight, you can't fight without thinking about your own faults, but blame the opponent for being too strong."

"Hmph, Poor Dao has never seen such a brazen person!"

"You! Thou! You! ”

"How? Do you want to deal with the poor road? ”

After that, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun beckoned, and the Baiyun boy, who looked to be no more than eight or nine years old, immediately stepped forward, holding a flat crutch in one hand and a golden demon rope in the other, looking at the people opposite with bad intentions.

"Good, good! Since the Taoist chief is unwilling to help, Nangong Shi retires! ”

When they came in a hurry, when they went, the master and apprentice quietly watched the generals of the Zhou State leave.

"Master, you just spoke too much, you shouldn't reprimand the general."

"In case they no longer rely on us and wait, and run to other Taoist friends to help, wouldn't it be a good thing for Uncle Ziya to be ruined?"

Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun patted the boy's head kindly, and looked at the direction of the Jade Void Palace in Kunlun Mountain with a deep and distant gaze.

"Idiot, the teacher didn't say anything wrong, Wu Dang and the others shouldn't have been arbitrarily ruling, in principle, we can stand up, so we are not afraid of him messing around."

"Moreover, if he doesn't invite those scattered cultivators and those sect monks who have fled from the northern frontier to help, won't this heavenly divine position still be vacant?"

Baiyun Tongzi was a little distressed: "But if he spreads out and says bad things about you, Master, and smears you that you are biased towards Meng Ji, what should this be?" ”

"Hahaha, let him go, I don't know how people will criticize what the poor road wants to do, just a few gossips, what's the matter?"

"At the same time, I'm also very curious, Poor Dao is a member of the Yuxu Palace, Tianzun is a personal inheritance, except for the group of sectarians who don't know whether to live or die, who else dares to ignore the majesty of Poor Dao and dare to make a judgment for Zhou Guo!"

The master and apprentice returned to the post house and have been closed ever since.

And Nangong Shi, who had just left, also rushed to another courtyard with an angry face, complaining to Du Erzhenren.

"Zhenren, what kind of helper did you invite, why do you think from Meng Ji's position in everything, you can't help at all, and now you still ask me why I don't pay attention to justice? Why didn't he want to think about it, if justice was useful and could allow me to return to Xiqi smoothly, what should I ask him to do? ”

Du Er Zhenren smiled bitterly: "Don't panic, general, Xiqi is on the edge of Kunlun Mountain, and the poor road is also practiced in Kunlun Mountain all year round. ”

"But that Manjushri Dao is long with oil and salt and doesn't enter, so what can I do?"

"It's... If the twelve golden immortals don't help, even if the poor road doesn't let out this old face, kneeling under the door of the lantern road, you have to ask for one or two helps! ”

Nangong Shi looked at Du Erzhen, who had an old face and a clean robe, and his heart was moved, it was better to be his own person, and only his own people would stand up in times of danger and help him save the day.

"Dao Chang goes all the way, Nangong Shi is waiting for good news!"

"However, Wu Dang outside the city is already provoking, if he does not come out, I am afraid that it will damage the morale of the soldiers, real person, can you ask your beloved apprentice Zheng Lun to come out and kill Wu ......"

"What? The situation is so critical, take care of the general, and set off to solve your problems. ”

Du Er Zhenren hurriedly passed a look to Zheng Lun, and then straddled the nine-colored deer, all the way to the west, and left Binzhou City behind in the blink of an eye.

"Master, although Wu Dang is brave, he is by no means the opponent of the apprentice, why don't you let me kill that kid before setting off?"

"My stupid apprentice, although you are good at the military formation, you are essentially a cultivator, if you violate the rules, don't think that Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun will save your life in front of the sect interception immortals! People and Meng Ji are in the same group! ”

“……”

Zheng Lun was shocked: "Then Master, since you know about this, why do you still ask Manjushri to grow out of the mountain?" You're not ......"

"Phew! What is it? What do you want to say? Do you know that Master, I am also with Meng Ji? ”

"Huh? You...... I...... He ......"

"Ahhhh In addition to the three sects, the people who are thin in the three sects, the interception of the sect, the exposition of the sect and Meng Ji are all in the same group, if you don't pick a big ship, what else do you want? Does the mantis arm be used as a car, hitting a stone with an egg? ”

"But Master!! I... I have the blood feud of Meng Bohou's biological father in my hands, you are on the boat, how can I be good? ”

Du Er Zhenren looked back at the apprentice he had taught since he was a child, and his face softened a lot: "Don't worry, your ancestor is a person who burns the lamp, a powerful figure in the teaching, he is the most righteous, and he will definitely protect you." ”
