The sky was slightly bright, and Ji Xuan and Master Withered Leaves were shuttling through the steep mountain forest on the west side of Chuanyun Mountain, and they were about to descend from the hidden path here.

This was the third place they had visited, and when they arrived at the first two trails, they found that the people of the Tianyi Sect had already been ambushed there.

They did not alarm the people of the Tianyi Sect, nor did they force their way through.

When they arrived at this trail, they found that there were also people from the Tianyi Sect who were ambushed.

"What should I do, is there any other place where I can go down the mountain?" Ji Xuan asked Master Withered Leaves.

Master Withered Leaves said, "There is another place, but it is extremely difficult. ”

Ji Xuan said: "No matter how difficult it is, it doesn't matter. There's no way to know about it, is it?"

Master Withered Leaf said: "He definitely doesn't know, that path was discovered by me and Senior Brother Withered Tree when we were collecting medicine, and only the two of us know." ”

Ji Xuan said: "In that case, let's go there as soon as possible without further ado." ”

Master Withered Leaves nodded, and then led Ji Xuan towards the mountain.

When they were about to arrive at Xixia Temple, Master Withered Leaves took Ji Xuan around the main peak behind Xixia Temple, there was no road here, and the two of them flew on the mountain stone with light work.

Although the mountains here are steep, there are master dead leaves leading the way, and the speed of the two is not slow. Winding around the back of the main peak, the mountain is steeper than before, almost vertically up and down.

Here, it is almost impossible to continue to go up or down.

The master of withered leaves stood on a tree that grew obliquely, and said to Ji Xuan, who was standing on a protruding rock: "The poor monk goes first, His Highness takes a closer look, and then you can do it." ”

Ji Xuan said: "The juniors are all subject to the master's arrangement. ”

The Master of Withered Leaves nodded, and continued to fly forward. There is a towering tree about five or six feet away, and it is very rare to grow such a tree on this cliff.

When the withered leaf master landed on this tree, Ji Xuan also launched a light industry and flew over.

Standing on the tree, Ji Xuan found that the tree grew in a man-wide mountain crevice. This crack in the mountain goes all the way down.

"Shall we go down from here?" asked Ji Xuan.

Master Withered Leaves said: "Exactly, this gap leads all the way down the mountain, but we can't walk, and we need to catch our arm strength to support the stone walls on both sides and go down." Is there a problem with His Highness's physical strength?"

Ji Xuan smiled slightly: "Although the junior is not as strong as the master, this distance is still no problem. ”

"Very good!"

After the withered leaf master finished speaking, he jumped lightly, went down into the gap, propped his palms on the stone wall, and kicked both sides with his feet at the same time, supplemented by light skills and fell down.

After Ji Xuan and the other withered leaf masters fell a certain distance, they also used the same method to fall down.

Although the mountain is very high, according to the martial arts of the two of them, it didn't take long to descend to the bottom of the mountain.

After the two went down to the bottom of the mountain, they didn't meet anyone, and then they discerned the direction and rushed to Qingzhou.

About an hour later, the two came to a small town, Ji Xuan bought two horses, and the two rode their horses and whipped up, and galloped to the Ding'an army garrison.

Halfway through the trip, they saw a large group of people approaching at high speed. Ji Xuan and Master Kurong stopped their horses and looked at the team.

When he got closer, Ji Xuan saw that this was a group of officers and soldiers, but only one of the three people in front was wearing military uniforms, and the other two were in civilian clothes.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother!" Ji Xuan waved his hand and shouted loudly.

The two people in civilian clothes heard Ji Xuan's shout, and they also recognized Ji Xuan, and they came to Ji Xuan's side faster and stopped.

At the same time that the two arrived at Ji Xuan's side, the military general in military uniform also arrived.

Among these three people, one of the two people in civilian clothes is Guo Dongming, and the other is the same age as Guo Dongming, he is very handsome, and the one in military uniform is Tang Bin, the chief general of the Ding'an Army.

After Tang Bin saluted Ji Xuan, the handsome man asked Ji Xuan, "Aren't you supposed to be in Xixia Temple, how did you come here?"

Ji Xuan said: "This is a long story, I'll tell you more about it later." Why are you here, brother?"

The man said, "The second junior brother went back to the mountain and told the master everything about it, and the master didn't worry about you, so he ordered me and the second junior brother to come to you together." ”

This person is Ji Xuan and Guo Dongming's senior brother Gong Que.

Waiting for Gong Que's words to fall, Guo Dongming said: "We traveled all the way, just because we were afraid that you would leave and return to Beijing, but it was still too late." When we arrived at the Ding'an army camp last night, General Tang told us that you would leave in the morning. Senior Brother and I originally wanted to go to Xixia Temple overnight to find you, but General Tang told us that you went to Xixia Temple to ask for help and would not leave in a hurry, so we decided to go to Xixia Temple again this morning. ”

Ji Xuan nodded, then turned to Tang Bin and said, "Does General Tang have military affairs, or is he making a special trip with my senior brother?"

Tang Bin said: "The last general made a special trip to find His Highness. This morning, the two senior brothers of His Highness were about to leave, and the last general received a military order from the Ministry of War, asking the last general to do his best to protect His Highness's entry into Beijing. ”

Ji Xuan said: "The military order of the Ministry of War arrived at the right time, and I was going to you for help." ”

Tang Bin asked eagerly, "Is His Highness in danger before he arrives at Xixia Temple?"

Ji Xuan said: "I have rushed to Xixia Temple, this is the withered leaf master of Xixia Temple." Ji Xuan pointed to the withered leaf master and introduced it to the three of them.

"Junior, the last general has seen the master!"

The three of them saluted to the Master of Withered Leaves.

Master Withered Leaves folded his hands in return, and then said, "With the help of all the donors, the siege of the temple can be solved." ”

Gong Que frowned and said, "Could it be that the Tianyi Sect attacked Xixia Temple?"

Ji Xuan said: "Exactly!" immediately told the three of them what happened last night.

Gong Que said angrily: "The Tianyi Sect is really hateful, we immediately rushed to surround them from the periphery, and then attacked them all from inside and outside. ”

Ji Xuan said: "This is exactly what we agreed on before, so I went down the mountain with Master Withered Leaves to find General Tang." ”

Tang Bin said: "It seems that the 2,000 people brought by the last general this time are still less. But fortunately, the distance was not far, and the last general sent people back to the camp to bring another 8,000 men. ”

Ji Xuan said: "Then there is General Lao Tang!"

Tang Bin saluted Ji Xuan, then turned his horse's head and drove to the team not far away, letting a partial general return to the camp with his general order to transfer troops.

Master Withered Leaves said: "Since you need to wait, the poor monk will go back to the temple first, tell the abbot about all this, and then I will go back to the bottom of the mountain and wait for the donors." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Master hard work! Master Lao Fu told Master Kurong that we will launch an attack from the bottom of the mountain tomorrow, and let them respond on the mountain at that time, and we will attack inside and outside, and we will definitely annihilate these people of the Tianyi Sect and deal a heavy blow to the Tianyi Sect." ”

Master Withered Leaves said: "This arrangement is very good!

After speaking, the withered leaf master rushed in the direction of Cloud Piercing Mountain.

Three hours later, the reinforcements of 8,000 people arrived, and the three brothers of Ji Xuan and General Tang took these 10,000 people to Chuanyun Mountain.

At that time, everyone rushed to the foot of Chuanyun Mountain, and at this time, Master Withered Leaves and three other monks were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Although the people of the Tianyi Sect could not attack Xixia Temple, they did not retreat to the bottom of the mountain, except for the hundreds of people guarding the three paths, the rest of the people were all ambushed on both sides of the mountain road where they retreated.

The mountain path is narrow, so the final battlefield is still at the bottom of the mountain. The plan agreed upon by everyone was that the mountain would send people to feint and the mountain would send people to cooperate, so as to attract the people of the Tianyi Sect and encircle and annihilate them at the foot of the mountain.

Gong Que and Guo Dongming led a thousand men into the mountain road to make a feint to attract the enemy down the mountain.

The three monks brought by Master Withered Leaf each led a thousand men to attack the enemy who were guarding the three paths.

Tang Bin asked a general to lead a thousand men to guard the outer intersection. Then they ambushed a thousand archers on each side of the mountain forest at the entrance to the mountain road.

The rest of the people lined up in front of the mountain gate.
