Chapter 40: The Divide
In the Fu army, Zuo Daoren immediately rushed to meet after hearing that the Fu father and son had rejected the Wei army.
After seeing the two of them, he asked: "Military master, my Wei clan and Fu clan will benefit both if they are combined, and if they are divided, this is a plan that has been made before, why do you refuse this time?"
Fu Yong said in a deep voice: "Zuo Xuanxiu, if I don't want to do this, I have already asked the soldiers here, when the wind and snow come here, it will be overwhelming, burying mountains and reclamation, not to mention the people?"
I also care about the lives of my children in the army, so I don't want to move forward, but the Wei army has to brave the wind and snow that may come at any time, which is too careful. ”
Zuo Daodao: "I also heard about this, saying that this snowstorm will last for at least a month, and both families are appointed, if they are patronizing and avoiding the snowstorm and missing the time, the military administration will probably be held accountable at that time." ”
Fu Cuo said at this time: "But the snowstorm is coming, we didn't know in advance, even if we stab the military department, we have something to say, and besides, all the military leaders below are all against this view, and we can't help but consider their thoughts." ”
He knew that he might encounter a foreign enemy on this trip, and there were 3,000 regular troops near this station, and it was safest to hide here, but now the arrival of the blizzard was a good excuse to send them to the door, and they could stay openly and without fear of taking responsibility.
The Wei army wants to go by itself, so it's good to go, just so that they can explore the road first.
Zuo Daoren was not surprised to hear the two refuse, he knew the Fu father and son, and knew that although they were polite to themselves, once they involved their own interests, it was often difficult to persuade them after making up their minds.
He said: "Since the two of them are unwilling to use soldiers, then Zuo does not force it, but Zuo is a cultivator, and he is not afraid of wind and snow, and he is willing to set off with Wei's army later. ”
When Fu Cuo heard this, he was anxious, and said: "Zuo Xuanxiu, you are a member of our Fu Army, how can you ......?"
Fu Yong's expression sank, and he scolded: "Wrong, how can you talk to Zuo Xuanxiu like this?"
He turned to Zuo Daoist and said very politely: "If Zuo Xuanxiu is willing to go, we will naturally not stop it, and we can also support Zuo Xuanxiu if he needs anything." ”
Zuo Daoren also said in a kind voice: "Then thank you to the military master, I just need to bring my own disciples later." He stood up, nodded to the two of them, and walked out with a whisk.
Fu Cuo waited until Zuo Daoren walked away, and then hurriedly said: "Father, why did you let him go, without Zuo Yungang and his disciples, the fighting strength of our Fu army would be reduced by half." ”
Fu Yong said in a deep voice: "If Zuo Yungang insists on going, we can't stop him, and besides, he said that it was for this appointment, and the reason is also above board."
We don't have to stop this, Zuo Yungang goes, it means that our Fu army goes, if it is delegated, there will always be a credit to us.
And don't be afraid, there are still three middle-ranking monks in the garrison, and there are 3,000 regular troops, and we will be stationed on the side of the garrison, which is the safest. ”
Fu Cuo thought about it, and this was indeed the truth, and after being a little relieved, he changed his mind again, and said in a low voice: "What if the Wei army and Zuo Xuanxiu never came back?"
Fu Yong's face was as usual and said: "If the Wei army is in distress, then it must have encountered an unimaginable enemy, that may not be a bad thing, we can use this as an excuse to apply to the military administration for reinforcements, and if the reinforcements do not arrive, then it is not our fault." ”
After Zuo Daoren left the Fu Army's garrison, he glanced at the twenty flying boats behind him and shook his head unconsciously.
He summoned a servant and ordered him to find all his disciples in the Fu army, and then led everyone to the Wei army station.
After arriving at the land boundary, he offered to meet Zhang Yu. When Qingshu heard this, he immediately rushed to greet him, and soon brought Zuo Daoren to the place where Zhang Yu was staying.
After Zuo Daoren saw Zhang Yu, he came up and said: "Zhang Daoyou, I have already persuaded you, but Fu Shi used the storm as an excuse and was unwilling to attack. ”
Zhang Yu said lightly: "Then it's up to them." ”
The main force to deal with the opponent this time is him and Zuo Xuanxiu, if Fu himself doesn't care about the assignment and wants to hide here, he won't care about them.
Zuo Daoren sighed: "After this incident, if I can come back alive, I will not stay in the Fu army." ”
The basis of his cooperation with Fu Shijun is trust, and now that the trust between the two sides is gone, there is no need for him to stay.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "If this matter can pass smoothly, what Yu promised before will not change." ”
Zuo Daoren smiled, raised his hand, and said, "Then I will thank Daoist friends in advance." ”
On Wei Lingying's side, she heard that Zuo Dao and his disciples were willing to go with them, and she couldn't help but be surprised, with two middle-ranking monks in charge, Fu Shijun was unwilling to go with them.
Because of the urgency of time, she rushed to talk to Zuo Daoren and left after a few hurried words.
After some quick arrangement, all the members of the Wei army boarded the flying boat again, and under the eyes of the Fu army, they went to the area that they were assigned to clear this time.
Two days later, a huge area appeared in front of it, and the terrain was so special that there was not a single ice or snow to be seen, and the surface looked like a dry seabed.
As the ship continued to move, the group saw a deep and huge crater, surrounded by metal poles.
Wei Lingying stood in the main cabin and looked down, and said, "This is it, tell everyone, march slowly." ”
As her command was laid, several flying boats emitted a flash of light before slowly sinking into the pit.
According to the military administration, there are evil gods and gods in this several times, but because of the vast underground space and many forks, the town army has come here several times to search and suppress, but they have returned in vain, but the town army garrison has been attacked because of the emptiness, so it is arranged to recruit troops to come here to clear it.
After the flying boat descended for a moment, the passage of the pit gradually became narrow, and it was impossible to go further, but fortunately, there was an open field that was artificially opened up on the side, and the ground was relatively flat, which was obviously left by the town army before, and all the flying boats stopped here.
After the flying boat came to a standstill, a group of Wei soldiers came out of it, each wearing their outer armor before stepping off the flying boat.
Among them, the forty metal giants were the most eye-catching, they were almost twice as tall as ordinary armored soldiers, and the spiritual light on their bodies was also extremely powerful.
Wei Lingying was also in it at this time, she walked at the front of the team, clenched her fists lightly, felt the abundant strength from the Xuanxuan, and her confidence also increased a lot.
As a precautionary measure, she had the Wei Army search the vicinity of the place, and chisel the Immortal Lamp into the stone walls of important passings and corners, and it didn't take long for the boundary to become as bright as day.
Then she discussed it with the leaders of the army, and decided to leave a hundred people to guard the intersection, and she personally led the rest of the people to investigate deeply.
Zhang Yu discussed it with Zuo Daoren, because there was only one entrance above, and the terrain below was complicated, it was not appropriate for the two of them to be in one place, so it was decided that Zuo Daoren would lead his disciples to protect the Wei army, and Zhang Yu would be responsible for guarding the back road.
After making all the arrangements, Wei Lingying led the Wei army of more than 400 people to go deeper down.
At the same moment, outside the pit, there were two Taoists standing on the high ground.
These two people looked to be in their twenties on the surface, both of them were handsome, one of them had a red mark on his eyebrows, he was wearing a red cloud robe, and he looked like there was an evil aura on his body, he said, "Senior Brother Pan, are you sure it's them?"
Senior Brother Pan said respectfully: "The inner people in the garrison should have experienced their identities, and they are indeed the people we are looking for, Senior Brother Ji, but will we launch them now?"
Ji Daoren said: "Don't worry, there is an outer god cave below, many of its beliefs are crazy and unwise, I see that they are also bored, so let this generation clean it up first, but wait for them to come up and then do it." ”
Senior Brother Pan's eyes rolled and said, "Senior Brother Ji, since that's the case, then we might as well give them some guidance?"
Ji Daoren obviously didn't care about this, and said indifferently: "You can do it." ”
Three days passed in a flash.
Zhang Yu had been sitting in front of the entrance of the cave with a sword, and nothing happened during this period, only Wei Lingying and his party sent a message of safety from time to time with the creation of flying insects.
Only he could feel a strange feeling in his heart as if he was being watched by others, but as usual, he didn't react to it.
Towards the fourth day, Wei Lingying finally returned to the ground with all his soldiers.
Judging from the traces of their outer armor, they should have experienced a battle, but everyone was in good spirits, and it didn't seem that there was much to lose.
Zhang Yu asked, only to know that on the first day of the Wei army's deep underground, they undoubtedly bumped into an altar, perhaps because of their luck, and then followed this clue, they found a gathering place for evil god believers, and successfully wiped out this generation, but later packed up the spoils and delayed for a long time.
After Zuo Daoren came back, he found Zhang Yu alone, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Daoyou, we found the location of those evil god believers after almost a little inquiry on this trip, this matter is so easy, I always feel that there is something strange in it." ”
Zhang Yu said lightly: "When I sit down these days, I can always feel that someone is secretly peeping, and someone is already staring at me." ”
Zuo Daoren's expression froze, he thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, this generation is very likely to do it when we go down to a realm. ”
Zhang Yudao: "I have an idea here, I might as well act on it later." As he spoke, he passed over, and Zuo Daoren listened to it and nodded unconsciously.
After explaining, Zhang Yu asked Qingshu to invite Wei Lingying and others over, and after careful discussion, everyone hugged him and went their separate ways to arrange.
