On Taiqing Mountain, there were disciples who practiced martial arts early in the morning to report that there was a lot of movement under the mountain. Because some of these disciples who practice martial arts are deaf and different from ordinary people, there is movement under the mountain, and thousands of horses are galloping, even on the mountain, they can hear it faintly.

As for Xuanqing and the others, they are already the top masters in the rivers and lakes, and they have already heard it clearly, and how many people have come before and after can guess it.

After these disciples came to confess, the four Xuanqing brothers were not surprised, because they had already greeted each other before and told each other that this matter would come sooner or later.

Xuan Yi's temper was the hottest, and he scolded and said: "Xiao Tiantu, this little man, has wasted his senior brother's teachings!"

Xuan Xuan Zheng closed his eyes and examined it carefully, and initially estimated the number of armored soldiers under the mountain: "There are about thirty or forty thousand people under the mountain, many of them are heavily armoured, there are knives, guns, axes, bows and arrows, it seems that there are a lot of them." ”

Xuankong sneered and said, "I didn't expect these people to be so fast, it seems that they have really been preparing for a long time." ”

Xuan Yi said: "If you want me to say that these little rabbit cubs are really white-eyed wolves, they are surrounded by Jiuxuanmen for this trivial matter, and they are not afraid of others seeing jokes!"

Xuan Qing said lightly: "A few junior brothers, don't be impatient, since the guests are here, then we will go out to greet them." ”

Xuan Yi was the first to stand up: "Senior brother, do you want to lead the disciples down the mountain to find out first?"

"There's no hurry. Xuan Qing said with a smile: "This time, the imperial court soldiers besieged Taiqing Mountain just to establish a prestige, and we will adapt to the situation, so don't take the lead in hurting the harmony." The Nine Xuanmen Sect is huge, how can he be able to surrender the army in a week. ”

Xuankong said worriedly: "Senior brother, these four Yang Feng are still on the mountain...... If they are there, let them hide them quickly, lest the court go up the mountain and catch people. ”

Xuan Qing shook his head and said, "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime." Xuan Ming, you take a group of closed disciples and Yang Feng and the four of them down the mountain to see this new general, and ask for advice in person, remember that this person is neither friend nor foe, and should not be humble or arrogant. ”

"Yes. Xuankong listened to Xuanqing's instructions, and went out to greet the people Xuanqing had just mentioned.

Xuan Yi was anxious now: "Senior brother, I'll go too, otherwise I won't worry about them dealing with those 30,000 people." ”

"It's not a fight, it's reasonable, you can rest assured. Xuanqing had a relaxed look, which made Xuanyi only anxious. In Xuan Yi's view, this matter is like a major event to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, but in Xuan Qing's opinion, this is something that will inevitably happen, because he understands his apprentice as a great general, he is in a high position, and his nature dictates it.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers and horses of Huizhou were orderly and arranged all this according to Cao Mengbo's instructions.

After Cao Mengbo arrived, the sentry posts and camp tents were all set up, and looking around, he could also be called a strong soldier, Cao Mengbo couldn't help but sigh again that Li Wu was indeed a material for governing the army, but he died for money, which was a pity. 8090

Cao Mengbo called Geng Zhongping aside and said: "Order, this may be a protracted battle without gunpowder, except for those who take turns to rest, the rest of the people must be in good spirits every day, practice the formation on their own, and not slack off." ”

After Geng Zhongping went to paging the armies with Cao Mengbo's order, Cao Mengbo called Yang Tao aside and asked him to check whether the three-day rations escorted over were sufficient.

After everything was ordered, Cao Mengbo sat down with peace of mind, and the five Yin Lichou were also in his tent.

Cao Mengbo asked: "The rivers and lakes all say that there are three major sects of martial arts in the south, and the Nine Xuanmen is one of them, although it does not have a long history of the Empty Pure Buddha Temple, its strength is not inferior, and there is also a good name in the world's arsenal, do you think so?"

Yin Lichou said unabashedly: "Since this is a judgment circulated by everyone in the rivers and lakes, what is said is true. When Long Yingtian held the martial arts conference the year before last, he sighed that if the three elders of the Empty Pure Buddha Temple or the Xuanqing Zhenren could come to support him, then he would have no resistance. If someone from these two major sects wanted to be the leader of this martial arts alliance, Long Yingtian would also be willing to give way. The conceit is like a dragon Yingtian, and he is full of admiration for these two major sects, and he is bent on peace, which can be seen that it is not just rumors. ”

Bat Gong also recalled: "That day, Murong Qi, the closed disciple of the Xuanqing Zhenren, released a powerful sword qi inside the Nine Xuanmen and shook hundreds of people, and I still remember it vividly. It can be seen that these nine Xuanmen are different from ordinary sects, the martial arts in the door are essential, unfathomable, and presumably they are also masters, and General Cao is better to be cautious. ”

Cao Mengbo said with a smile: "Today's battle has nothing to do with fighting, so you don't have to be too nervous." However, it is still necessary to think more about face, at least in terms of momentum, we must be active, not passive. ”

Broken Soul said: "Speaking of which, it is the most imposing to simply attack the mountain directly." With so many people, no matter how powerful the Nine Xuanmen is, they will not be able to escape. ”

Cao Mengbo saw that the Broken Soul who rarely spoke on weekdays had spoken, and he still made such a suggestion, so he couldn't help but ask: "Little Brother Broken Soul, do you have a deep grudge against Jiuxuanmen?"

Broken Soul shook his head and said, "I've never been to the south before, let alone have a deep grudge against Jiuxuanmen. It's just that I haven't moved for a long time, and coming here today is also an opportunity. If the general can give me 3,000 elite soldiers, what if I take them up the mountain to move my muscles and bones?"

Cao Mengbo thought that this person was rebellious, he had always disdained to be with the imperial court, and he was only afraid of Long Yingtian's death and could not forget it. Now that he is in a hurry to go up the mountain, does he want to come back and take the opportunity to join Jiuxuanmen and become his enemy? If this is the case, but judging from his usual attitude towards Mo Ming and Zhang San'er, he is also respectful, and there is no fraud at all, plus Xiao Tiantu sent him over, he would not have thought of this. It was precisely because of this that Cao Mengbo felt that Xiao Tiantu had already made all the arrangements, so he brought him over, and now he was so impulsive, could it be that he wanted to stir up the situation? If this was the case, then Xiao Tiantu would definitely not take the risk of sending such a person with different intentions over, if this person was useful to him, what was the use? Why didn't Xiao Tiantu tell him?

Just thinking about it, Zhang San'er pulled Cao Mengbo out of the state of origin: "General Cao, how about I wait for the future, please give the general an order as soon as possible." ”

"There's no hurry. Cao Mengbo closed his eyes and said, "Let's rest in the tent for a while, I guess I'm on the road." ”

Outside the tent, the soldiers practiced on the spot, and the sound of cheering each other on came and went, full of spirit. Today is a warm winter, and in another month it will be the beginning of spring. There is no chill at the foot of Taiqing Mountain.

The firemen in the barracks had already begun to cook, and the smoke curled up in the cooking was a different scene.

Cao Mengbo closed his eyes and carefully understood the sentence that Xiao Tiantu gave him before leaving: Don't be angry and self-threatening, it is man-made.
