Cao Mengbo led the remnants of the army to retreat into Python Mountain City, and even Quanjing City behind Wuluo City gave up.

This is Cao Mengbo's second defeat, and they are all tied to the head of one person.

After reorganizing the soldiers and horses and ordering his soldiers to set up traps, Cao Mengbo knew that these Jianghu sects could not be relied on, so he wrote a blood letter overnight and sent it to Kyoto.

......

Two days later, the cronies who delivered the letter ran to death eight fast horses, and when they handed Cao Mengbo's blood book to Xiao Tiantu, they finally couldn't support it anymore and fell heavily to the ground.

Xiao Tiantu realized the importance of the matter and immediately took it apart to see.

In the letter, Cao Mengbo mentioned the reason why he did not move the rescue troops nearby. Because Cao Mengbo thought that he was still lacking in military talent, he didn't know what the current situation was, and he didn't know if the soldiers and horses in the vicinity like Luzhou or Yuezhou and Minzhou could take the time to come to the starry night to help, so it was most appropriate to ask Ji Xiao Tiantu.

Xiao Tiantu took a look at it and learned about Cao Mengbo's difficulties.

Napuhua is now 10,000 enemies, Cao Mengbo's army and Tibetan soldiers clash, undoubtedly always hit the stone with eggs, if you want to reverse the situation, you need to invite the Jiuxuanmen out of the mountain, even if you can invite the distant Buddha Gate, that is fine.

It's just that Cao Mengbo guessed that Buddhism did not participate in the battle of Taiqing Mountain at the beginning, and the battle of Wuluocheng two days ago was only perfunctory, so it is conceivable that Buddhism does not intend to meddle in the troubled times under the mountain.

As for the Jiuxuanmen, it has suffered heavy losses since the first battle of Taiqing Mountain, and it should be afraid that if it continues to participate, the forces within the gate will weaken and collapse.

As for the positions of these two major sects, Cao Mengbo bluntly said that it is not yet known at this time, and there are slight worries.

Xiao Tiantu closed the letter and went to the imperial study to discuss with Xiao Shifeng.

Xiao Shifeng was just reviewing Su Yongjin's recital on how to appease the refugees, and when he saw Xiao Tiantu walking in, he knew that something was important.

Xiao Shifeng frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, please read the letter handed over by Cao Mengbo in Huizhou!" Xiao Tiantu handed the blood book to Xiao Shifeng, Xiao Shifeng waved his hand and let Xiao Tiantu sit on the chair first.

Soon after Xiao Tiantu sat down, Xiao Shifeng also finished reading, and after reading it, Xiao Shifeng frowned even more, and he didn't stretch for a long time.

Xiao Shifeng asked, "That person is not dead yet?"

Xiao Tiantu shook his head and said: "The Great Futu Sutra is a forbidden book of Buddhism, and practitioners are invincible in the world. I only knew that he fell into the cliff that day, but I didn't expect that it was still steel and iron, and he couldn't die. ”

When Puhua fought against Xuanqing Xuanxu and Mu Sanniang on that mountain alone, Xiao Shifeng was also present. Although there is some distance, it is really unbelievable, there is such a young person, Xuan Qing can be helpless, it really opened Xiao Shifeng's eyes.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shifeng couldn't help but gasp: "Cao Mengbo said that this person's ability is low, is it true or false?"

Xiao Tiantu thought for a while and said: "The top five characters on the Qingzhu Hero List should have this ability. Napuhua fought against the three masters such as Xuan Qingzhen on the day, and it is conceivable that they are more than a thousand enemies. Cao Mengbo was unjustly defeated. ”

In this way, only the characters on the Qingzhu Hero List can be subdued. Xiao Shifeng said that, Xiao Tiantu nodded.

Xiao Shifeng frowned and asked, "At the moment in the southern martial arts, can there be such a master?"

Xiao Tiantu thought for a while and said, "Right now, Marquis Li has broken his arm and can't fight anymore. The three elders of Buddhism have already expressed their attitude, and the minister thinks that no matter who goes up the mountain, it will be useless. Now the only way to ask for help from the Nine Xuanmen is again. ”

When Xiao Shifeng heard this, he sighed and said, "In the battle of Taiqing Mountain, Jiuxuanmen really suffered heavy losses. Are Xuan Qing people really willing to go out of the mountain again?"

Xiao Tiantu also frowned and said, "I'm just afraid of difficulties." ”

Xiao Shifeng lay down on the back of the chair and said: "The sects of the Nine Xuanmen and the world are already benevolent and righteous, if you want to force it, I am afraid that you will lose the heart of the Jianghu martial arts by then." ”

"Your Majesty, it's difficult, but it's doable. Xiao Tiantu gave Xiao Shifeng confidence, Xiao Shifeng stood up again, and asked, "Are you really sure?"

"The matter has come to this point, and only Weichen can go south again to save the momentary decline. Xiao Tiantu said, Xiao Shifeng said: "You are weak, you can no longer run to the south." If you have any way to persuade Xuan Qingzhen, find a cronie to explain. ”

Xiao Tiantu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and I am the only one who can say it." Because Weichen and Jiuxuanmen are also related, Xuanqing Zhenren is my master, no matter what, it is more sincere to go in person. ”

Xiao Shifeng asked again: "Is there really no one who can subdue that demon?"

Xiao Tiantu shook his head without hesitation and said: "If it weren't for the masters of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, the current Jianghu martial arts people, I'm afraid that if they go to send one to the other, it will not be beneficial to them or us." Since Jiuxuanmen is willing to help His Majesty once, there is a possibility of a second and third time. What's more, Daomen cares about the people of the world, and Weichen believes that they will not sit idly by. ”

Xiao Shifeng sighed and said: "You have lost all your skills, I am really afraid that you will have any dangers on the road, and you will miss the overall situation when the time comes." ”

"Your Majesty, in the life of the minister, every time he turns danger into a disaster, there is God's blessing. This trip is in a hurry, and it is inconvenient to bring an entourage, just one person. If there is really an unforeseen situation in one day, His Majesty can reuse Su Xiang, Weichen has been discussing the situation in the world with Su Xiang for a long time, and Su Xiang is also aware of the trade-offs. ”

Xiao Tiantu thought very thoughtfully, and had already prepared a candidate for Xiao Shifeng to dominate the current situation in the world.

Xiao Shifeng was both relieved and worried after hearing this, his face was sad, and he stopped talking.

Xiao Tiantu stood up, walked to the middle of the imperial study and wanted to salute and plead, Xiao Shifeng hurriedly said: "You don't have to salute, I know that you are loyal and brave, and I also believe that you will be able to come back safely." ”

The implication is that Xiao Shifeng agreed with Xiao Tiantu's idea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xiao Tiantu was about to go back to prepare, and when he walked to the door, Xiao Shifeng suddenly stopped him: "Tiantu ......"

Xiao Tiantu stopped, and Xiao Shifeng continued: "Come back alive." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. After Xiao Tiantu finished speaking, he walked out of the imperial study.

In the imperial study, only Xiao Shifeng was left.

After Xiao Tiantu left, Xiao Shifeng sat down and continued to review Su Yongjin's recital.

When he was a child, Xiao Shifeng opened the door of the imperial study. At this moment, the wind was cool and cool, and the moonlight shone on the floor in front of the door of the imperial study like water.

Xiao Shifeng asked the young guard on the left, "Where are you from?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is from Luzhou. ”

"Where are you from?" Xiao Shifeng asked the young guard on the right again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is from Lingnan. ”

Xiao Shifeng then asked, "Do you feel homesick?"

The two looked at each other, and said for a long time: "Yes." ”

Xiao Shifeng was stunned and said, "I've worked hard for you in the past few days. Tomorrow, I will ask Chen Zhili to give you ten days off, so go back and have a look. ”
