Xuanqing's recommendation of these four people is not groundless.

First, these four people were not the real disciples of Jiuxuanmen, they were all lay disciples to the outside world, they came and went freely, even if they went down the mountain and showed their faces, they could not participate in this war on behalf of Jiuxuanmen.

Second, these four people do have merit.

Looking at today's martial arts, there are only a handful of people who have 60 years of internal strength cultivation, and people who have 60 years of internal strength based on the Nine Xuanmen Mental Law can be counted. The mental method of Jiuxuanmen can be called one of the best existences in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, except for the word jingjing, there is no adjective to describe.

Therefore, this Yang Feng can be said that if he is willing, with only this internal strength cultivation, he can completely run rampant in the Jianghu martial arts.

Look at An Ziyu again, over the years in Jiuxuanmen, his two masters, Xuanxu and Xuanyi, did not force him to practice his own swordsmanship, but helped him to understand the sword qi of the Divine Sword Gate through the internal strength of Jiuxuanmen.

Coupled with Mu Sanniang's training in those days, An Ziyu now has another peerless study to accompany him: gathering qi into a blade, it can be said that this son will become a great weapon in the future!

And Tang Xiaoxiao, on the basis of the original unique light skills, is proficient in swordsmanship, and has also obtained the seven-armor flying knife by mistake, accompanied by a peerless and famous weapon, if he is willing to help the court kill the enemy, it will make those rebels frightened.

In addition, when it comes to this Long Xiaoyuan, because of its special identity and not bad nature, if it is really as Xuanqing said, it is a miracle to make Long Yingtian enlightened.

Xuanqing showed Xiao Tiantu that he could back down, and these four Xiao Tiantu could take them, but it also depended on their wishes.

Xiao Tiantu sat alone in front of the stone gate of Xuanqing's retreat, and thought about it for another hour, the reason Xuanqing gave him was really like that.

Not only do these reasons appear, but behind this, there is also Xuanqing's will.

Xuanqing hopes that the matter of locking the Dragon Valley can make people forget, so that the rivers and lakes and the imperial court can turn the war into a jade silk, he believes that the imperial court has also recognized its mistakes, and Yang Feng's life experience is the key;

These four people, from the beginning of the mountain, Xuan Qing was ready to cultivate carefully, seeking opportunities for the overall situation in his heart.

Now, it's time.

Xiao Tiantu stood up in front of Xuanqing's stone gate, and after bowing three times, Xuanxu floated in and brought Xiao Tiantu back to the flat ground.

"There are Lao Zhenren. After landing, Xiao Tiantu looked tired, but he didn't forget to thank Xia Xuanxu for sending him back and forth.

Xuan Xuan nodded and didn't ask Xiao Tiantu what he and Xuan Qing had talked about. Joining Xuanqing has requirements for them, then Xiao Tiantu will inevitably say that if there are other instructions, then Xiao Tiantu himself will know how to deal with it, and all he needs to do is to accompany him quietly.

......

Xiao Tiantu and Xuanxu walked slowly on the way back to the mountain gate of Jiuxuanmen.

Xiao Tiantu expressed the idea of staying on the mountain for two more days, and Xuan Xuan said happily: "The upper room has already been prepared for the general, even if it stays for a few more months, it will not matter." "Wonderful book

"So, thank you for the real person. Xiao Tiantu said politely.

......

There are three more cities behind the main city of Xizhou, among which the soldiers have received the token of the General's Mansion, and they have already evacuated from the other three roads and rushed to the side of Xishan Pass.

Shangguan Yunfei took Liu Botao with him, and Shangguan Yunxiong rode a horse alone, and the two slowed down when they saw that they got rid of the pursuers.

When approaching the Xishan Pass, Liu Botao saw a team of men and horses leading a carriage to harvest grain in the nearby rice fields, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Shangguan Yunfei asked, "General Liu, seeing this scene, do you think it makes sense for you to stick to Xizhou?"

The implication is that Xizhou cannot be defended, and Xishan Pass is the decisive battle site of the imperial court.

Liu Botao naturally knew what the soldiers in the fields were doing, they were collecting grain and grass and transporting it back to the city.

Liu Botao said: "In this way, Xishanguan is really ready for everything?"

"It was fine seven days ago. Shangguan Yunfei's tone was relaxed, and he said: "I originally thought that General Liu would lead his troops to Xishan Pass to join us, so General Xia has always asked my brothers to lead 3,000 cavalry to be stationed on the Black Mountain Road, ready to meet General Liu at any time." How do you know that General Liu is so hard-hearted, and he carried it for seven more days, but fortunately, my brothers and sisters temporarily decided to leave for Xizhou, otherwise it would be a pity if General Liu was martyred. ”

"General Xia?" Liu Botao asked, "Who is the person Your Majesty reuses to guard the Xishan Pass, and who is this General Xia?"

Shangguan Yunfei said: "General Xia, whose full name is Xia Yuanshan, was originally a deputy general under Qi Weiyuan, the governor of Saibei. Three years ago, he suffered a leg injury due to an arrow injury and was sent back to Kyoto to recuperate. A month ago, the lame General Xia went to the General's Mansion to petition for the restoration of his official position, so that he could go into battle again to kill the enemy. The general thought that he was disabled for the sake of the imperial court, and that it was difficult for him to adapt to the cold and heat in the north, so he refused to allow him to be a counselor under the account. Half a month ago, the general felt that this person was experienced and up to the task, so he ordered him to start the defense of Xishan Pass. The current Xishan Pass, it is really strong and strong, with plenty of grain and grass, and it is as solid as gold!"

After Shangguan Yunfei finished speaking like a joke, Liu Botao was really a little impatient, sighed and said: "Since there is a main general in this Xishan Pass, then Liu still asks His Majesty to go and is willing to fight the enemy under his uncle in the south." ”

Shangguan Yunfei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" Does General Liu look down on this General Xia, or is he naturally unwilling to be his deputy with others?"

Liu Botao raised his head and said: "Everyone is born equal, Botao is upright, and there is no contempt for others. What's more, His Majesty has always been very clear about employing people, and there is no doubt about the ability of this General Xia. It's just that Bo Tao has never been someone else's deputy general, and I am afraid that one mountain will not tolerate two tigers, so it is better to resign to His Majesty as soon as possible. ”

Shangguan Yunfei listened to Liu Botao's words and laughed.

Liu Botao frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Shangguan Yunfei said: "I laugh at you for being obviously a general, but you are a scholar in your bones. A general who commands the army should have a big belly, how can he be as pedantic as you?"

Liu Botao said unhappily: "If you are like me commanding the army, you can understand my feelings." When we fight a battle, we have to carry the victory or defeat by ourselves, and when we point troops on the battlefield, we disagree, and it is difficult for us to move. ”

Sure enough, the general was right. Shangguan Yunfei said lightly: "General Xia is much more atmospheric than you, and he volunteered to be your deputy general." The real commander of Xishan Pass, His Majesty wants you by name. ”
