"Daoist Wuyazi, your knife is extremely fast, I didn't even see what was going on before I arrived in front of Dugu Xingyue, if you cut it quickly, it is not necessary to kill Dugu Xingyue's life. Venerable White Lotus said: "Presumably, Daoist Wuyanzi just doesn't want to make a grudge with Dugu Valve, and Dugu Xingyue and Daoist don't have a real deep hatred, otherwise she won't care about her face, even if her clothes are broken, she will be entangled with you to the end." ”

Tianya said: "The advantage of that knife is fast, but the disadvantage is also fast." This knife was originally intended to remove the enemy's defenses, only wounding the flesh and skin. What's more, Dugu Xingyue's body protection is so strong, how easy is it to kill her? It's better to choose a method that can let us leave safely, I can only think of this. ”

"Xianggong, you did the right thing, don't listen to their nonsense. Xiang'er rarely speaks, but this time Xiang'er must be on the side of Tianya, otherwise it will be easy to show her stuffing.

Xiang'er knew the reason why Tianya didn't dare to hurt Dugu Xingyue, after all, Dugu Xingyue was his master. If Zong Xin is really not dead, it means that Zong Xin has abandoned Dugu Xingyue.

Xiang'er probably guessed why Dugu Xingyue would do something to Brother Tianya, even so, Tianya couldn't play with Dugu Xingyue really, otherwise it would be a big rebellion.

Tianya nodded, he did the right thing just now. Only he knew that at that time, he could have killed Dugu Xingyue at that time, because what he had in his hand was an illusion. If it was any other knife, it might not be able to kill her, but the illusion is an absolute attack, and no means of defense will be effective against it.

Tianya didn't want to expose this matter, and he didn't want to expose his true identity, let alone kill Dugu Xingyue for a trivial matter. She is an elder, she can be ruthless, but she can't be unrighteous as a junior.

Forget it this time, if there is a next time, there will be no mercy.

Li Hongji said: "Daoist Commander Wuyazi, where should we go next?"

"I rushed directly to Beiping, Youzhou, overnight, and rested in Beiping. Tianya said: "This time I got into trouble, please don't blame the two of you." I don't know how big the Dugu Valve's power is in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, anyway, I'm still careful along the way, and the matter of the Dugu Valve needs to be investigated. ”

"Daoist Wuyazi don't have to worry, it's not a problem. Li Hongji is also relieved for Wuyazi, but he knows in his heart that if he offends a woman like Dugu Xingyue, he is afraid that it will be difficult in the future, and the women of Dugu are very strong, and not ordinary people can afford to provoke them.

It's no wonder that Dugufeng's life is simply a shame, and he was deceived by a man so much that he lost his legs. Dugu Xingyue's life was not good, her husband was beaten to death before she could pass the door, and she finally married a monk, but the monk died again......

So the women of the Dugu valve can't be messed with~ They have not been moistened by men for many years, so they have distorted thoughts in their hearts, which are indeed a little different from normal people.

Venerable White Lotus said: "It's just a night road, we are all martial arts practitioners, and it's nothing." Daoist Wuyazi, what I'm worried about is what to do if the people of the Dugu Valve catch up?"

"As long as it's not Dugu Xingyue, everyone else is easy to quit. Tianya said: "Don't say too much, let's run quickly." ”

Tianya rode forward on horseback, and now it is no longer an escape, at least it will take a while to run here even if the one behind will chase after him. What's more, as long as it's not Dugu Xingyue, it's useless for others to catch up, but Tianya still hopes to increase his speed a little.

In order to ensure the condition of the horse, it is impossible to run forward all the time. After a period of trotting, it is necessary to change to slow walking, and if the horse is allowed to run continuously, it will have a great impact on the horse's body. Horses can only be used for transportation, and no matter how good a horse is, it is too far from a real beast mount.

Stop and stop along the way, and let the horse rest while the people follow suit. Pingzhou is 200 miles away from Youzhou, which is not long or short. It took a group of four people five days to get to Youzhou, although there were horses to walk, but Li Hongji and Venerable White Lotus's horses were very ordinary, and they had to take a break after walking a few steps.

The horse's staying power can be very good, and it is no problem to run for several hours in a row. But this is only one time, and if you let the horse run like this once, you will have to rest for at least a month before you can recover. So generally no one runs like this.

For more than 200 miles, Tianya and his party have not had a good rest, because the conditions on this road are limited, and there are many cities in the sixteen states of Youyun, but because of Yelu Ruan's policy, the number of small villages and towns is very small, and they can only endure it temporarily.

After arriving in Beiping City, Youzhou, I first went to have a good meal, then found an inn to rest, and finally found a place to take a bath and change clothes.

After relieving themselves, they realized that they had come to Beiping. The situation here is much more complicated than in other places, where Khitan soldiers patrol.

Obviously, Cangzhou is the first stop of the Khitan attack on the Great Zhou, and Youzhou will also be the first stop of the counterattack against the Khitan, so the defense here is obviously more important than other places.

After the group rested, of course, they found a restaurant to have a good meal. Yesterday's meal was all about satisfying, and this meal is the real tasting.

When talking about things, it is still more comfortable at the dinner table, no matter how big or small the things to talk about, after a few drinks, I am a little bolder, and I dare to say anything. Maybe there is a nonsense that hits the bottom line, and if you don't drink, there are some things that you really can't say.

After drinking a big bowl first, Li Hongji said: "Daoist Wuyazi, how many miles of land do you have to go to the king?"

"Youzhou is less than two hundred miles away from Cangzhou, and if you go to Wangju, it should only be one hundred and thirty or forty miles away, and at our speed, we can arrive in two or three days. After waiting for the king, whether the other party agrees or not, it will be a troublesome matter......"

Tianya thought in his heart that if the other party agreed, they would return to Pingzhou by the same way and take a boat back to Nantang in Pingzhou. This road is extremely dangerous, not only the wind and waves on the sea, but also the two major forces of the Khitan people and the Dugu Valve are staring at them.

Of course, if the other party doesn't agree, they still have to return the same way, and they can't pass through Cangzhou. Cangzhou's guards are much tighter than Youzhou's, and if someone hears a different voice, they will be arrested.

Although Fu Yanqing is not young, he knows very well in his heart that he doesn't know how powerful the king valve is, and his supervision of the king valve should be second only to the Khitan. After all, if the king valve made enough siege equipment, Cangzhou might not be able to defend it.

Li Hongji originally planned to pay a high price to invite the best master to build fortifications in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and people like this were recognized in Cangzhou.

Tianya knows too many people in Cangzhou, so it is absolutely impossible to go to Cangzhou. Even if there were only Li Hongji and Venerable White Lotus, it would be impossible for them to choose this dangerous route.

"Two or three days...... Otherwise, let's work hard for a few more days, and go directly to the king to do things, whether it is successful or not, we will have an explanation. Venerable White Lotus said: "Anyway, the old man thinks that there is not much chance, even if we take a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to the king, with the relationship between the kinglord and Fu Yanqing, he may not be willing to help." What's more, this time we are going empty-handed, even if we can prove the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they may not be willing. ”

Venerable White Lotus originally didn't have much hope for this matter, and there should only be a fifty percent chance. That's still the case with the money in the past, but now that all the money is sinking into the sea, maybe there is only a chance of three or two percent. The chances are too low, but it's worth the risk.

Not to mention the chance of three or two, even if it is less than one percent, they have to give it a try. Because there is no other way, if Nantang continues to hold on, the pressure will be very great, if the king is willing to help, the pressure will be reduced a lot, this is a matter related to Jiangshan Sheji, and their trip is of great significance.

Tianya said: "Of course we have to go, but there is no need to rush to the night again, how about we leave tomorrow?"

"Hmm~~" Li Hongji also wanted to take one more day off, he was tired during this time. His body was originally inferior to these martial arts masters, and he was pampered since he was a child, fortunately he had been trained for a few months, otherwise he would have died of exhaustion if he couldn't get to Pingzhou.

"Now it's time to discuss how to impress the king. Tianya said: "Don't have the attitude of trying to do things, as long as you do it, you must succeed, otherwise what to do?" I know what you think, after going to the king, first prove your identity, and then explain your intentions, and finally let the people of the kinglord decide whether to go or not. ”

Li Hongji and Venerable White Lotus nodded immediately, what else could they do if they didn't do this? What they said just now was all nonsense, did Wu Yazi mean that he was the one who made the final decision? How could this be? The people of the royal lord could go if they wanted to, and if they didn't want to go, could they still tie up a few and go?

Tianya said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Shouzhou needs fortifications, right?" ”

"That's right~ That's why we came to the king. ”

"Can a fortification be built by one person?"

"Wuyazi Daoist, it's better to say what you have to say, my brain is not as smart as yours. Li Hongji can see that Wuyazi has a plan, but he has to ask sentence by sentence, when will this go?

Li Hongji understands Tianya, he likes to put things aside, ask questions little by little, and finally let others figure out the solution by themselves. But at this time, Li Hongji was really in no mood, he hoped to solve this matter directly. After all, it doesn't matter whether you are a straw bag or not, the most important thing is that the Southern Tang Jiangshan Sheji must be kept.

Tianya said: "Don't worry, if you don't want to use your brain, let's wait here for you to move before you start." Don't compare the poor road with ordinary people, as long as the poor road comes out, there is nothing in the world that can't be done, unless it is to resurrect a dead person, this poor road really has no way. ”

Li Hongji said: "That's okay, fortifications are definitely not something that can be done by one person. So we're going to ask a lot of the king's masters to do it together. ”

"Do you remember the last time Zhou Shizong Chai Rong used which men and horses attacked Shouzhou?"

The problem of the end of the world is one in the sky and one on the earth, and it is not next to each other at all. But Tianya asked these questions for his reasons, which Li Hongji knew very well. So he had to think carefully and answer well.
