Chapter 117: Qiao Yu
Reality made a joke with Ye Zhiqiu, and the princes who appeared in front of the new Tiger Prison Pass the fastest turned out to be Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, and the elite seven thousand white horse righteous servants under his command.
For the sake of him being Liu Bei's fellow senior brother, as well as Gongsun Zhan's perennial high-pressure policy towards the grassland orcs and the Dongyi barbarians, Ye Zhiqiu ordered the twelve heavenly ghosts and gods to refrain and open the gate to let the princes enter the customs.
Gongsun Chan didn't say anything, but his heart was not calm, after all, he witnessed the Taoist generals in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the Xiongguan Tiger Prison in the world, and in a short period of time, the wall was restored.
The difficulty is as difficult as reaching the sky, but Ye Zhiqiu actually completed it in front of him, Gongsun Zhan not only admired the luck of the "junior brother" Liu Bei, and was able to recruit such a beneficial Taoist general, but also became vigilant against Ye Zhiqiu, who had a somewhat mysterious background.
After all, this extraordinary ability was so amazing that it was enough to turn a battle around, and it was impossible for any far-sighted prince to ignore it.
The only thing that made him happy was that Ye Zhiqiu was considered "his own person", and when he saw the banner of Beiping Gongsun appearing, he immediately opened the gate and let him and Bai Ma Yi rush to the aid of the pass.
What's more worth mentioning is that when Gongsun Chan passed through the gate, he looked back at the rebuilt Tiger Prison Pass and found that the thickness was only zhangxu, less than half of the heyday, which was obviously due to insufficient materials.
In addition, more than 1,000 "defenders" wore two-color military uniforms, and they were clearly two princes who were very familiar with "Zhongshan Taishou Liu" and "Xiaoqi Captain Cao", who were as smart as Gongsun Zhan, and immediately understood the secrets.
"A small part is my junior brother Liu Bei's subordinates left to this person, and most of the sergeants are Cao Mengde's expenses for passing the customs!"
It's a pity that Bai Ma Yicong is good at riding and shooting, charging into battle, and is not proficient in defending the city, so even if Gongsun Chan has the heart to help, he only leaves a few war horses, and then stands up on the mount, apologizes to Ye Zhiqiu's forehead, and immediately leads his subordinates to rush to the capital Luoyang without hesitation.
Ye Zhiqiu watched the reinforcements go away, and as soon as he turned his head, a group of princes came out of the mountains and forests and led his soldiers to advance towards the Tiger Prison Pass.
The distance was a little far, and Ye Zhiqiu didn't see the flag clearly. However, faster than this princely army was a certain demon cultivator, who suddenly appeared on the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass with the help of the Earth Movement Technique.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't reply: "It's you again, are you bothered? For the inheritance of the fox clan of Qingqiu Country? I have repeatedly ventured to approach my side, I didn't know the Five Elements Escape Technique before, so I could only turn a blind eye, but now! Today is different from the past!"
Before the demon cultivator Qiao Yu could speak, he suddenly noticed that a cold and piercing killing intent appeared behind him, and he jumped forward without hesitation, deciding to strike first and restrain the main target Ye Zhiqiu, so that there could be a turnaround!
Among the twelve heavenly ghosts and gods, with the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag as the core, and proficient in the art of retreat and the Five Elements Earth Spell, he had already received Ye Zhiqiu's order, and when Qiao Yu came to the head of the Tiger Prison Wall, he secretly dived into the ground, until Ye Zhiqiu spoke to distract the demon cultivator, and it took the opportunity to rise to the wall, intending to give this person a critical blow from behind.
However, Demon Cultivator Qiao Yu's reaction was more agile than he expected, and at the last moment, he actually escaped the killer of the Dutian Ghost God, and pounced on Ye Zhiqiu's back in the blink of an eye.
Just when this person threw out his beast-like claws, his hands went up, and he was about to clasp the target's neck and take out the kidney to restrain the source of the Dao General's energy with a single blow, Ye Zhiqiu counterattacked faster than him.
The Divine Soldier Golden Snake Sword didn't need Ye Zhiqiu to hold it personally, it suddenly turned sideways for half a circle, and the blood-red snake eye gem on the hilt of the sword shot out a snake-like golden light that was a few feet long, and in such a short distance, it hit Qiao Yu's chest without any difference.
He didn't even have time to react, and watched as the "Flame of the Sun" devoured the "Tanzhong Acupoint" fiercely, instantly exploding the big wound at the mouth of the bowl, and the wound with deep visible bones, half of his heart was missing, and he had stopped beating.
Qiao Yu, who was full of anger, couldn't lift it in one breath, and was full of anger to his mouth, only one voice: "You ......" immediately ended his young life.
When the demon cultivator's corpse slipped to the ground against Ye Zhiqiu's back, the current tiger prison guard did not have any joyful expression on his face, because he didn't get any gain, in other words, the demon cultivator Qiao Yu didn't die at all.
Having seen the treacherous way of the demon fox, Ye Zhiqiu knew that the demon was impermanent, and lifted the "Tai Bai Ge" with his left hand, and slashed it fiercely, penetrating the waist of the corpse, but there was still no reaction, and then he provoked it vigorously, and the twelve heavenly ghosts and gods immediately reached out and tore the corpse apart, and ate happily.
The corpse pieces that fell in the mouth of the Dutian Ghost God, between the gnaws and sharp teeth, quickly crushed into meat sauce, and bright red blood water flowed down from between the lips and teeth, and it was not a good place to hide at all.
The "Hanging Candle" of the human-faced snake body was divided into the head and half of the neck of the demon cultivator Qiao Yu, and just after chewing a few bites, a pale fox fire burst out, broke through the teeth of the ghosts and gods of Dutian, and fell to the ground with a bang, and then jumped away in a panic.
Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were staring at this fox fire tightly, and he found that it suddenly split into two, jumping west towards the capital city of Luoyang, and returning to the princes' main formation to the east, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Sure enough, it's impermanence! The two clones escaped by fire, they are all fake!
In the shadow of the ghosts and gods of Dutian "leaving", a triumphant smile immediately appeared, it turned out to be the demon cultivator Qiao Yu, but he was not calm in his heart now, after all, after repeated temptations in the past, Ye Zhiqiu laughed at it, but he didn't expect that this time he would kill the killer and kill his stand-in between backhands, so that he didn't dare to play in person!
In the past, Liu Bei, the Taishou of Zhongshan, was suppressed by the Kwantung princes and was not allowed to fight, but this person lived a leisurely life and sent me away. Now that he is the guard of the Tiger Prison, he has no emotion to talk about. ”
Demon cultivator Qiao Yu made a decision in his heart, and did not wait for the ghosts and gods of Dutian to "leave" to perform witchcraft countermeasures, so he took the initiative to ask for surrender.
"Brother Dao, you and I have obtained the inheritance of the Qingqiu Fox Clan by chance, and we should have supported each other, so why bother to make a big fight? It would be too rude to provoke the monks of the side door to sneer. ”
Ye Zhiqiu sighed, nodded slightly, and was about to cast the ban of "painting the ground as a prison", and immediately withdrew his hands.
"If you want to gain my trust, make an oath to witness the heavens and the earth! If you are insincere, don't appear in front of me in the future, otherwise you will be killed once, and then see how many stand-ins you have available!"
When the demon cultivator Qiao Yu heard this, he walked out of the shadow of "leaving" without being surprised, and at the same time, the two fox fires flying in different directions also disappeared in response.
Ye Zhiqiu listened to this person's sincere oath, and immediately a fox roar appeared in a different phase, and then a crystal clear bead was generated out of thin air, he immediately stepped forward and reached out to pick it up, put it on his fingertips to grind, and nodded clearly after a while.
"This time I came here to be the Taishou Qiao Mao of Dongjun, your own brother, for the sake of him being a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, I can allow him to enter the customs. However, this person has a bad fate, if it weren't for your support left and right, Qiao Mao would have been killed a long time ago. If he is allowed to enter the customs, against the elite of the Shangxi Liang Army, without you as the main general, I am afraid that the end will be very unsightly. ”
Demon cultivator Qiao Yu knew that this was the last test, even if he really wanted to stay and guard the pass, and strive to leave a good impression in front of Ye Zhiqiu, but the level of loyalty and righteousness was more important.
"What Brother Dao said is very true! After Brother Dao leads the army into the customs, I will accompany him and be sure to protect his integrity. Even if Lu Bu, the flying general who is the first in the world in terms of force, is still not afraid, let alone the other generals of the Xiliang Army. Don't worry, Brother Dao, I'll come when I go!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded approvingly, and the tense atmosphere between the two suddenly eased a lot, and Qiao Yu had time to observe the surroundings, and the most important thing was the twelve heavenly ghosts and gods.
"These witches...... As far as I know, it is the brainchild of the Qiang wizards for a total of a hundred years, and the essence of the ancient witchcraft has been broken by this person even if it is not expected, along with the Tiger Prison Pass, and it has been collected for his own use very smoothly. From this point of view, the Dao brother I deliberately married is not necessarily a demon cultivator, but may also be the seed of the witch path. ”
Although Qiao Yu is also a demon cultivator, he has no feeling for the thousands of years of struggle between the two lich clans, and the hatred between the two clans that is as deep as the abyss sea has not continued to him, so Qiao Yu is only faintly afraid of the "Twelve Heavenly Ghosts and Gods", but he does not think deeply.
As for the twelve witches led by the "Rank Candle", after being killed by Ye Zhiqiu with a divine weapon in his hand, he was reborn with the Dutian Ghost Divine Banner, and they were all in a sluggish state, but fortunately, Ye Zhiqiu nodded and allowed them, allowing them to devour the resentful souls of the three thousand Xiliang Army, so they could have replenished their vitality and restored their old views, if it weren't for this, the twelve heavenly ghosts and gods would not be so "loyal"!
At the same time, Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, personally led the army to pass through the pass, and the clan brother who opened the way in front quietly appeared beside him, in addition to looking at Qiao Yu differently, he was more worried about the general who was guarding the pass now, after all, he already knew that there were only more than a thousand soldiers guarding the pass, and he understood the details of the new tiger prison pass.
This loyal minister of the Han Dynasty is also a good man, and without waiting for Qiao Yu's persuasion, he took the initiative to leave a song of five hundred sword and shield soldiers to Ye Zhiqiu, which was regarded as a toll payment, and then took the lead in beating horses and running towards the capital Luoyang.
