A hundred heavily armed soldiers left the city in the starry night and went straight to Xiaoyun Mountain.

Ji Xiaoduo hasn't learned to ride a horse yet, it was Mo Li who took her.

A peony branch was pinned to the placket of her robe, and the little flower demon sat on the leaf.

This was proposed by the little flower demon himself.

The flower branch will not die for a day or two after it is broken, and it is not her body, so it will not hurt her, so it is convenient for her to follow Ji Xiaoduo to show the way.

She had also put leaves on Du Qiao's body before, and she could feel his direction.

Zhao Zhong was already quite puzzled by Ji Xiaoduo's departure from the city in the middle of the night, and when he went to their flower garden in Duqiao to rest, he couldn't help but lift his whole heart.

He had followed Ji Xiaoduo here before, and knew that this was the place of the little florist.

Ji Niangzi, what do you want to do?

Do you want to elope while the adults are away?

That's not right, so why did she bring so many people?

When he entered the flower garden and saw that it was a mess, he realized that something might have happened to Du Qiao.

But...... That's even weirder.

Ji Niangzi didn't go out in the small building all day, how did she know that Du Qiao had an accident?

Do they have any secret contact information?

And the little flower demon was under his nose at this time, but he couldn't see it at all.

Ji Xiaoduo walked around the flower garden, frowned, called Zhao Zhong and the brigade commander over, and said, "Wait a minute, you have to enter the mountain, the horses can't go, just leave it here." Leave a few people to take care of it. If we don't come back by dawn, let them stop waiting and go back and find a way to inform the adults. ”

She said it seriously, and Zhao Zhong and the brigade commander also responded with a straight face.

Ji Xiaoduo said again: "What we want to track down are three Taoist priests and ten soldiers, and they also arrested seven civilians. I don't know how to fight, but you will arrange it then. There is only one point, as long as they are found, no matter what the situation, kill those three Taoist priests first. Especially the old one. ”

In terms of numbers, their side is absolutely superior, but the power of ghosts and gods in this world cannot be judged by common sense, so the safest thing is to kill those Taoist priests first.

As for who they are, it will be good to leave the living mouth of the soldier to judge them at that time.

Anyway, this kind of sneaky person who sneaks around at night and goes into the mountains to worship demons can't be a good person.

It's Zhao Mingxuan's set, let's cut it first!

Zhao Zhong and the others are worthy of being Zhao Mingxuan's soldiers, and they didn't have any doubts about this policy at all, and directly responded to the arrangement.

What they couldn't understand was just why Ji Xiaoduo knew how many people there were on the other side when he walked around here, and even the civilians and Taoist priests among them knew it.

However, thinking about it, Ji Xiaoduo is learning Taoism from Qiu Yangzi and stargazing from Mr. Ming Jing, which is a bit strange and normal.

When they entered the mountain, the experienced scouts who tracked them really judged the number of the other party from various traces, Zhao Zhong and the brigade commander glanced at each other, they would only obey Ji Xiaoduo's arrangement because of Zhao Mingxuan's order, and at this time, they really admired a little more.

There are not so many twists and turns when you are a soldier, and those who have the ability are worthy of respect.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and Ji Xiaoduo was simply carried by Mo Li.

Mo Li's physique is far beyond ordinary people, even if he carries her, his speed is much faster than ordinary people.

The little flower demon lay on Ji Xiaoduo's shoulder, chattering: "...... Thinking about it, you're actually pretty good, you came to save people without saying a word, and gave me snacks to eat before...... Well...... If you can get Du Qiao back...... I won't scare you anymore......"

Ji Xiaoduo: ......

What more do you want?

If she hadn't come to ask for help for Du Qiao this time, she would have burned the pot of peonies directly with a talisman.

At that time, I'm afraid that this little flower demon will have to shrink a little more.

However, seeing that the little flower demon is like this, and still thinking about saving Du Qiao, Ji Xiaoduo is a little soft-hearted, "Okay, let's show the way." ”

On one side, the little flower demon showed the way, and on the other side, the scouts also found the trail in front of them one after another, and they quickly found people.

The group was in a clearing in the valley.

The valley is very secluded, but in the middle there is a flat land the size of a basketball court, which is not a single grass and is obviously artificially created.

Ji Xiaoduo is probably what the little flower demon said before.

The little flower demon suddenly became excited, "Du Qiao! look, Du Qiao is there." Hurry up and save him!"

Seven sturdy-tied men stood in the middle in the direction of the Big Dipper, each with a man behind him, with a sharp knife pointed at their necks, seemingly ready to slit their throats.

Three Taoist priests have already set up the altar, an old Taoist priest with a gray beard is standing behind the altar, burning incense at this time, and two younger ones are holding dusty swords and protecting the Dharma on both sides.

Ji Xiaoduo saw these three Taoist priests clearly, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

She has been practicing for so long, and her spiritual power has not accumulated much, but her eyesight is still a little.

That old Taoist priest is not as good as Qiu Yangzi, and the two little ones are probably about the same as her.

A volley of bows and arrows will probably be solved.

However, she is a layman in the war, and she has already said that she will let Zhao Zhong and the brigade commander command, so she will not talk much at this time.

The brigade commander really ordered the arrow to be released first.

Flying arrows rained down, and the brush shot directly at the three Taoist priests.

They didn't expect anyone to attack, and the two little Taoist priests were hit by several arrows and fell down with a scream.

But something on the old Taoist priest's body emitted golden light and caged his whole person inside, and the arrows fell one after another as if they had hit an iron plate.

The old Taoist priest was also in danger, and continued to light a piece of rune paper in his hand, shouting: "Do it!"

The men who had been prepared immediately stabbed their swords at the human sacrifice that had been bound.

"It's not good! can't let them complete this ritual!" Ji Xiaoduo also shouted, "Drag everyone away from that place!"

The little flower demon didn't care about being scared anymore, and pounced directly on the man who grabbed Du Qiao.

She was so small that of course she couldn't pounce on that person, so she could only bite him on the hand holding the knife.

The man's hand shook in pain, and the knife was a few points off, only scratching a little skin, and failed to kill Du Qiao.

The soldiers on Ji Xiaoduo's side followed and rushed forward.

It doesn't matter if it's a human sacrifice or an enemy, anyway, grab it first and drag it out.

But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't go faster than the knives that were already in the throat of the human sacrifice.

Except for Du Qiao, who escaped because of the little flower demon, several other people had their throats cut, and blood spurted wildly for a while, and a lot of blood was already sprayed on the ground before the soldiers dragged them away.

The old Taoist priest over there was protected by three men, and quickly recited the incantation.

I saw that the blood on the ground seemed to come to life, and with the sound of his incantation, it meandered and flowed on its own, drawing a complex figure on the ground.

Ji Xiaoduo hurriedly pointed at the old Taoist priest and shouted, "Interrupt him, quick!"

The brigade commander also knew that this situation was wrong, and personally led people to attack the old Taoist priest.

was stopped by the man next to the old Taoist.

Six or seven of them couldn't even get through.

The man was not tall, but there was an aura of being a man who could not be opened.

Zhao Zhong was by Ji Xiaoduo's side to protect her, but when he saw the man clearly, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Ji Xiaoduo frowned, "What? do you know that person?"

"Hmm. Zhao Zhong's expression was heavy, "His name is Gao Shuyi, and he is one of the top ten masters around King Jiyang. I didn't expect to be here. ”

It's the king of Jiyang again!

She originally thought that the one who captured Du Qiao might just be a chaotic soldier, but she didn't expect it to be a regular army, and one of the top ten masters!

It can be seen that King Jiyang wants to make a big deal here!

Ji Xiaoduo grinded his teeth, "How tall are the top ten masters?"

Zhao Zhong also gritted his teeth, but he had to tell the truth, "None of us who came here today can be his opponent!"

If it's just a martial arts master, Ji Xiaoduo is actually not too afraid, as the saying goes, "No matter how high your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives." "There are a hundred of them, and the wheels of the gang can always hack him to death.

But there is also an old Taoist priest with golden light next to him, which is a headache.

She really underestimated the enemy before, who knows if the old Taoist priest has any other means?

What's more, the magic circle on the ground that I don't know what's going on is about to be completed, and it's not a good thing to think about it with the blood sacrifice of seven people.

Ji Xiaoduo hesitated and turned his head to look at Mo Li.

Before she could speak, Mo Li nodded, "I'll go." ”

He said to go, Ji Xiaoduo only had time to shout, "Do what you can, don't be strong!"

Before her words fell, Mo Li had already rushed in front of Gao Shuyi, without any tricks, and it was a punch in the chest.

Gao Shuyi didn't care much when he saw such a half-grown boy, he only raised his hand to block, but he didn't want this punch to be extremely powerful, he couldn't block it at all, but was beaten straight back for several steps.

The brigade commander next to him took the opportunity to rush to the old Taoist priest behind.

Gao Shuyi hurriedly turned around, but Mo Li was waiting there, another punch.

At the same time, the brigade commander had already slashed at the old Taoist priest.

But at this moment, the old Taoist priest had finished reciting the last incantation and lit the talisman paper in his hand.

The blood stains on the ground were connected together, and the light was blood-red.

- The circle has been formed.
