Chapter 43: The Lonely Army

Nanwu Prefecture, the main peak of the south.

There are only two people in Changshi's study, one is naturally Gu Zuo, and the other is the third lady who came on purpose.

Gu Zuo's face was expressionless, and he listened to the third lady's low statement: "...... Elder Yu threatened that if the Lishui Sect and the Huaixian Pavilion stood together again, their Qingcheng would go south to Yongchang. ”

"So, you're going to quit?"

"It's not quitting, we're going to stand with the Gu Pavilion Master in a different way. ”

"In what way?"

"The Lishui faction no longer openly fights against the Jiedu Mansion, and according to the requirements of the Qingcheng faction, we will repay the Jiedu Mansion for 100,000 runs, and the Jiedu Mansion...... Fix...... However, it was not really repaired, and I myself led some of the monks to join the Southern Wu Army on their own initiative to assist the Gu Pavilion Master in resisting the Jiedu Mansion. ”

"100,000 runs...... Did you pay your money?"

"Handed over ......"

After being silent for a long time, Gu Zuo said, "I see, why didn't you tell us in advance?"

The third lady was speechless, in fact, this question is easy to answer, when the Lishui faction discussed internally, he didn't think about informing the Huaixian Pavilion in advance, because everyone expected that the Huaixian Pavilion would definitely be strongly opposed, rather than that, it was better to pay the money first, and then find a way to ease the relationship between the two sides.

- For example, led by the three ladies, some monks were sent to join the Southern Wu army.

Gu Zuo took a deep breath and said, "Duan Yinsheng failed in his retreat and passed away, and then you gave in, which gave Xian Yuxiang the illusion that he could do it to me, so Shen Hongfu was sacrificed." Lao Shen is the Taoist of Hongfuguan, and he has no quarrel with the world, he is just going to Yizhou to buy golden sand......"

In fact, when the Lishui faction discussed whether to submit to Qingcheng, she was fiercely opposed and insisted on fighting side by side with Huaixian Pavilion. However, Qingcheng was powerful, and most of the monks of the Lishui faction could not afford to resist, so they finally decided to give in and pay their dues to the Jiedu Mansion.

But these inside information, the third lady couldn't say it, and she didn't want to shirk her responsibility, she just said: "We didn't expect Xian Yu Xiang to dare to do such a thing that lost his conscience, take Shen Daoyou's sacrifice flag, I brought someone over this time, I am ready to work with the Gu Pavilion Master to avenge Shen Daoyou, if I don't cut Xian Yuxiang, I will never return to Lishui!"

It is undeniable that the Lishui faction is indeed afraid, they retreated, and their previous vows are worthless in the face of the survival of the Zhao Kingdom. However, due to the insistence of the three ladies, they still fulfilled some of their obligations as allies and sent people to join the Southern Wu Army and fight with the Huaixian Pavilion.

In the face of such a situation, Gu Zuo was not angry, and it was uncomfortable if he didn't get angry, and he almost suffocated his internal injuries, and he really wanted to scold them for "both ends of the first rat"!

But the third lady is here to help in the war, Gu Zuo can only suppress the unhappiness, not lightly and clearly: "The fortress is always attacked from the inside, so I hope that the third lady will re-sort out the people you brought, and see how many of them are really willing to kill the enemy, and how many are reluctant, so as to avoid changes that we don't want to see when the real fight starts." ”

The third lady couldn't be upright, so she had to nod: "I'll talk to them again, and if they hesitate, let them go back." But the more than 500 people I brought, I believe most of them can be of great use. ”

Gu Zuodao: "After combing, the three ladies who were wronged acted with the army under the name of the Lishui battalion, although your cultivation is high, but when it comes to war, you still have to abide by military law and accept the transfer." ”

The third lady continued to nod: "This is natural. ”

The conversation was completed with difficulty, and the three ladies went down to reorganize the Lishui camp, Gu Zuo turned around and continued to stare at the Nanzhao Yutu on the table in a daze.

The Lishui faction's approach aroused the anger of the high-ranking people in the Huaixian Pavilion, and the original Taoist chief, Cheng Shanhu and others all suggested severing relations with the Lishui faction, and even the butcher, who had always rarely expressed his position, was deeply dissatisfied with this.

After they vented, Gu Zuo asked three questions:

If they completely break off diplomatic relations with the Lishui faction, will they completely fall to the Qingcheng faction, and will they even send troops to help Jiedu Mansion?

Did the more than 500 Lishui monks who joined the Southern Wu Army help in the battle?

Does Huaixian Pavilion need the help of the three ladies and the infant monk?

These three questions made everyone silent, in the military affairs, it is true that you can't be half ambitious, no matter how unhappy, you can only bear it, for the Lishui Camp monks brought by the third lady, everyone has to greet each other with a smile.

Facing a group of unhappy subordinates, Gu Zuo said: "The Lishui faction doesn't dare to raise troops openly, and now we are left to fight alone in the Huaixian Pavilion, so we need to climb over this mountain by ourselves." But is that really a bad thing?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gu Zuo said heroically: "The mountain we climbed by ourselves, the scenery on the mountain, only we can see!"

Huaixian Pavilion resisted Jiannan Jiedu Mansion alone, and it was really uplifting when he said it, and at this moment, the mood in Changshi's study rose again.

Liu Xuanji said: "Zizhou joined the army Gu You spat yesterday, he is willing to return to Southern Wuzhou anyway." Changshi, do you still use him to sacrifice the flag when you set out tomorrow?"

Cheng Shanhu said disdainfully: "When you die, you are afraid again? You have to cut it if you should cut it to avenge Lao Shen!"

Yuan Dao Chang asked, "Didn't this person have very hard bones before? Why is he going to descend again?"

Liu Xuanji said helplessly: "I told the truth yesterday, and he said that he realized for the first time that for him, being punished was actually like a practice, and the harder he was beaten, the more comfortable he would be." ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh for a while, only to hear Liu Xuanji continue: "This guy has never believed that we really dare to kill him, but when I heard that Shen Daoyou was suffering, he gave him the severed head meal last night, and he immediately coaxed him, and only begged Changshi to spare him." ”

Gu Zuo also smiled, and sighed with a smile: "If you beg for mercy at this time, it's too late." ”

On the first day of the first month of August, the Shuangfeng Town Martial Arts Arena, the stands of nearly 2,000 people were full, and "people from all walks of life" from Nanwu Prefecture, Montenegrin Zhao, Tonghai Zhao, and even the "representatives" of Lingnan Dao were present to participate in the grand event.

On the high platform of the martial arts performance in the middle of the venue, the word "Gu" is fluttering in the wind, the two flags of "Southern Wu Army" and "Huaixian Pavilion" are lined up on the side, and there are all kinds of war drums and golden gongs around it, which is murderous.

Under the high platform, surrounded on all sides, a military formation composed of thousands of monks was formed, and the formation was strict.

Gu Zuo was covered in armor, and surrounded by the butcher, Chengshan Tiger, Luo Jun, Yuan Daochang, Liu Xuanji and others, he ascended to the high platform.

Elder Shang also came out of the retreat and followed Gu Zuo's side, he had already completed the transformation of the Golden Pill of the Spirit Searching Technique, and became the highest Taoist soldier in Gu Zuo's Qi Sea Cave Mansion, at this moment, the Huaixian Pavilion wanted to meet the sword soldiers of the Jiedu Mansion, and he didn't care about retreating and rushing to the realm, and he was ready to finish this battle first.

The audience suddenly resounded with thunderous cheers, and in the cheers, Gu Zuo raised his hands in all directions, causing even more enthusiastic cheers.

The cheers and applause lasted for a long time, and Gu Zuo had to press down with both hands, which restored the silence of the martial arts arena.

Gu Zuo gestured behind him: "Read!"

So Yang Jian took a few steps forward, unfolded the text, and read it on the spot, and his voice was transmitted by the amplified magic array refined by Gao Changjiang's master and apprentice, resounding throughout the audience.
