Chapter 340: Assassin Demonstration
In the battle of Broken Stream City, the princess of Xijie Province took advantage of the situation to seize the territory of Dongjie Province within a radius of 500 miles, and in fact, the cities that surrendered to the princess were far beyond this range, and almost half of the territory and population of Dongjie Kingdom changed their allegiance.
At that time, the king of Dongjie was on the way to flee to the imperial capital, and was shocked when he heard the news, but he did not take any remedial measures, in his opinion, the occupation of the princess of Xijie Kingdom would not last long, and when the demon army arrived, it would be ruined at a moment's notice, and he could not afford to spend energy fighting for useless things.
But he was wrong, the demon army was actually blocked to the west of the Jiehe River, and he escaped safely to the imperial capital, but he almost became the king of the landless. The catastrophe was lifted, and King Dongjie began to feel the pain of his skin, so he launched a counterattack, using both soft and hard, open swords and hidden guns, and in the past few years, he used up a qiē trick, almost unable to sleep at night, and as a result, not only did he not return to half of the country, but the other half of the country also became unstable.
King Dongjie's biggest weakness is that he refuses to return to China, at first he was afraid of the demon clan and wanting face, and later he was afraid of his subjects, and he always felt that even those who did not take refuge in Xijie were fighting with the princess, and he was always ready to assassinate himself.
He knew very well that it was not another king who defeated him, but a princess, and after losing a series of battles for the land, it was rumored that he was going to take risks and do his best to prevent the princess of Xijieguo from marrying into the royal family.
Pangshan wants to protect the princess, because Xijieguo is the place of choice for Pangshan, and without it, Pangshan's revival will be even more difficult.
After returning to the road the next day, Mu Xingqiu told several companions the information that Zeng Fu had revealed.
"Xin Youtao is in distress in Huangjing, his sister is about to be assassinated on the way, and the two of them are really unlucky. Yang Qingyin shook his head, "Does Pang Shan want to protect the princess? Why didn't Zuo Liuying say it in advance? It's not that we don't want to, he has made an old mistake again?"
"Because of "Qiankun Ding". Mu Xingqiu now understands the reason why Zuo Liuying let him read this thick book, "The royal dispute between the East and the West is a purely mortal affair, and Pang Shan cannot directly interfere, nor can it be left to anyone to tell the truth. So Pang Shan and the princess can only tacitly say it, and Zuo Liuying can't say a word of promise, even to us. ”
"Hey, General Mu and Zuo Shouzao are now in their hearts. Yang Qingyin sneered on his lips, but he knew in his heart that this matter was very important to Pang Shan, without the princess, Xi Jieguo would soon fall, "You just say what to do, everyone is a Taoist priest of Pang Mountain, and Zuo Liuying can't meddle in mortal affairs." We can't either. ”
"I haven't figured it out yet. Mu Xingqiu looked at Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao, hoping that they would come up with ideas.
Shen Hao thought for a while, "As long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to provoke, we can't just cast spells, this is really difficult, why did the Dao Tong tie himself up in the first place?"
"Because the power of the Dao system is too strong, if it is not restrained, mortals will constantly ask the Taoist priest for help, and the Dao system will fall into the quagmire and cannot get out. And stay out of it. As a result, the Dao system can also receive a large number of offerings from the Ryubinkai, some of which are very important for spiritual practice. Mu Xingqiu explained that although "Qiankun Ding" was boring, it did make him understand a lot of things.
As a result, the world was handed over to the Longbin Society. Looking at the style of Qu Xungui and Liang Shiji, it seems that they are the emperors. Shen Hao was still indignant, but after all, he was a Taoist priest of the Discipline Sect and knew how to calm the anger in his heart. After a few moments, his expression returned to normal.
Mu Xingqiu turned to Xiao Qingtao, "What do you think?"
"Me?" Xiao Qingtao is not used to coming up with ideas, "I don't have any opinions......"
Artemisia has been braiding and dismantling her horses. At this time, he raised his head, "Listening to what you say, I don't think it's quite right for Xijie to seize the territory of Dongjie Country, right? Xijie Country is very important to Pang Shan, but Dongjie Country didn't offend Pang Shan, why do you have to rob other people's things and not return them?"
"Ha!" Yang Qingyin laughed, wanting to refute the little girl's nonsense, but after thinking for a while, he was speechless, "Mu Xingqiu, you can talk about it." ”
"Because the demon clan has invaded the human world, King Dongjie doesn't want to resist at all, he fled without a fight, and now he wants to return to the country, just to sell it for a better price, the demon clan called, he still won't resist. And the princess of Xijieguo is willing to resist and has the ability to resist, so even if the matter of seizing the land is wrong, Pang Shan has to support her. ”
Yang Qingyin smiled, "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel a lot more noble, it turns out that we are not only helping Pang Shan, but also thinking about the common people in the world." ”
Mu Xingqiu also smiled, thinking that the princess must be able to understand her meaning better, the line between right and wrong is blurred, and it often changes back and forth, it is not easy to grasp this line clearly.
Xiao Hao pondered for a while and seemed to understand a little, "In other words, as long as it is for the purpose of killing demons and eliminating demons, the wrong thing is also right." ”
"Of course. Mu Xingqiu and the others said in unison, even the bald man in the backpack screamed, and Shen Hao added an explanation, "The demon clan doesn't care what is right or wrong, of course the Dao Tong can't be a fool." ”
"Well, it makes sense, I'm also a Taoist priest, and I don't want to be a fool. ”
Mu Xingqiu and the others all laughed, thinking that although this little female Taoist priest in Ranjing Mountain was a little weird, she was also quite cute.
I haven't come up with a solution for the time being, but the Taoist priests are more vigilant.
In the next few days, the demons did not show up, the assassins did not show up, the Taoist priests continued to patrol every night, the princess's escort team was also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, Pan Sanye sent scouts and probe the Flying Talisman from afar, especially in the territory of Dongjie Kingdom, he was more cautious.
The team was safe and sound in the territory of Dongjie Kingdom, and not long after entering the Holy Rune Dynasty, the threat finally appeared, and to everyone's surprise, the other party was not a sneaky assassin, but a group of loose cultivators who appeared in public.
Qu followed the rules to hunt down the world's scattered cultivators, and it was not enough to rely on the power of the government, he wanted to trigger a fight between the scattered cultivators, so he issued an amnesty to a small number of obedient people, allowing them to hunt down other scattered cultivators to save their lives.
The speed of the send-off procession was very fast after the blessing of the spell, and in order to avoid congestion, they could only choose the deserted road as much as possible, and this morning, on a road parallel to the river, they met the first amnesty Sanxiu.
Sanxiu rode a strange beast that was conjured up and flew in the air, the strange beast was like a hairless lion, with a pair of wings, Sanxiu observed from a distance, and did not hide his tracks, the rune master in the team immediately questioned him with a flying talisman, Sanxiu let out a cold snort, refused to answer, but showed the amnesty order, it was a jade rectangular token, the front and back of the royal family and the Longbin Club logos, engraved with the words "respectfully obeyed".
Pan Sanye sternly ordered the other party to leave, and Sanxiu left obediently, but everyone could feel that this Sanxiu was disrespectful to the princess of Xijieguo.
At the end of the day, the bold loose cultivators appeared a total of five times, each time it was a different person with a different mount, far or near, just watching, neither speaking nor attacking, and leaving when reprimanded, no one understood their intentions.
In the evening of the same day, the send-off party stayed in a camp outside a small city, and was warmly welcomed as usual, and the officials of all sizes personally sent gifts, and many people came to watch.
Pan Sanye specially asked the officials about the local situation, such as whether there was an army, and whether there was a gathering place for scattered cultivation nearby. When the crowd dispersed, Pan Sanye called his three entourages into the tent, and it didn't take long for him to send someone to invite Pangshan Taoist Mu Xingqiu.
Fu Master Liu Ding and Sanxiu Ouyang Lance and Chen Guanhuo hid in the team as entourage, in order to avoid revealing the rumors, they never greeted Mu Xingqiu or Yang Qingyin, and the three of them also changed their appearances, Chen Guanhuo was forced to give up his beard, and he was annoyed, but today, he only panicked, and when he saw Mu Xingqiu coming in, he said: "Oh no, bad ......."
Pan Sanye's expression was also very strict, and after inviting Mu Xingqiu to sit down, he said: "I have inquired, there is no permanent scattered cultivation here, and the nearest Huang Fujun camp is also three days away, it is indeed a good place to start, but there is one thing very strange......"
Chen Guan stood up angrily and hurriedly said, "Those loose cultivators who appeared today are all Fa King's people, and they must have come to kill me, she knows that I am hiding here." ”
Chen Guanhuo was too nervous, his face was flushed, he was also a person who had experienced a hundred battles, but when he thought of his former master Lan Bingling, he still couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Do you know these casual cultivators?" asked Mu Xingqiu.
"I don't know, but the Dharma King likes to send scattered cultivators to issue silent warnings, I have arranged this kind of task before, riding terrifying beasts, and not making a sound......" Chen Guanhuo trembled too much, and he couldn't continue.
"Don't be afraid, Daoist Pangshan will never stand idly by, even if Lan Bingling comes in person, it's fine, the princess is safe, and you are safe. Mu Xingqiu comforted.
Chen Guanhuo sat down again, calmed down a little, Pan Sanye glanced at him, and said to Mu Xingqiu: "It's strange here, this life and death mage king may not be here for the princess, but you Pangshan Taoist priests." ”
Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised, in his impression, Lan Bingling did not have the courage to offend Dao Tong, no matter how much she hated Zuo Liuying, she could only use the hands of others, she never dared to do it, one was not strong enough, and the other was afraid of being retaliated against by Dao Tong.
Fu Master Liu Ding got up and handed Mu Xingqiu a piece of paper with complex text and graphics drawn on it, except for a professional Fu Master no one could understand it, "This is a loose cultivator left by a casual cultivator during the day, the highest level of uninterrupted perfection charm, and ...... You feel it. ”
Mu Xingqiu took it and took out a bronze mirror to shine on the paper talisman, and soon found that the mana contained in this consummation talisman was amazingly large, far beyond his impression of the talisman.
"Even if the chief talisman master writes it himself, he can't write such a talisman. In Liu Ding's opinion, this is even stranger than someone trying to assassinate the princess.
