Chapter 231: Another Kind of Heart

The princess came, brought reinforcements, brought hope, brought a battle of life and death.

King Xijie had only one concubine, so the only title of "princess" was Xin Youtao's sister, who led a huge army from the south, and with the help of a large number of talismans, this army arrived in time and even won two days of rest.

A total of 4,000 cavalry and 100 Fu Gong divisions entered the camp outside the city in a neat procession, and the crowd cheered continuously, and what they saw was not a makeshift patchwork of defenders of the city, but a regular army with bright armor and high morale, the armor was wrapped from head to toe, and all the horses were ridden, like a group of disciplined giant soldiers, which made the spectators gasp and be in awe.

When the princess retreated from Xijie City in advance, she took away a thousand royal purple rune army, and she knew that the scattered forces could not stop the demon army, so she went directly to the northwestern frontier, and from there she collected three thousand elite Xuanfu army and a large number of rune masters, and then turned all the way to the southwest, almost at the same time as the demon army.

The capital perished, the last army of the Xijie Kingdom was saved, the princess didn't know that there was a small broken city in the southeast to hold on, her original intention was to ask for help from the southwestern vassal states, and then the ** team and the army of the Holy Fu Dynasty converged, and with the help of the power of the Dao system in the area of Chaojing Mountain, a decisive battle with the demon clan was launched, and after the victory, she took advantage of the situation to recover the homeland.

Hearing that her younger brother Xin Youtao was holding on to Broken Stream City, the princess immediately changed her mind and led her army to bypass the vanguard of the demon clan and rushed to the last city of Xijie Kingdom to support, because she was worried that the flying talisman would be intercepted by the demon clan, she never wrote a letter.

With the efforts of Mu Xingqiu and the others, the hearts of the people in Broken Flow City were like a swollen cloth bag, which looked full, but there were not many things in it, and the army brought by the princess finally filled the vacancy inside. The Xuanfu Army also brought more good news, and there were still six armies of the vassal states and one army of the Holy Rune Dynasty behind them, all of which would greatly exceed the number of demon soldiers after that.

Broken Flow City is filled with a festive atmosphere. When the princess entered the city with only a few dozen guards, the road was almost completely blocked by the enthusiastic people, and the princess remained in the carriage in obedience to royal etiquette and did not show up, and her three personal court ladies accepted the people's bows and blessings on her behalf.

The princess's chariot and horse marched very slowly, leaving at noon, and did not reach the camp until evening. Instead of choosing to live in the castle guard, she decided to meet the defenders in the barracks.

The soldiers of the Xuanfu Army in the city had been waiting all afternoon. From afar, I saw that all the banners of the royal family knelt down, and even the monks who were holding the mentality of watching the excitement also knelt down, and some people wanted to cast a few gorgeous spells to celebrate, but they were persuaded by the monks around them, this is a princess, not an ordinary person. Don't be ashamed.

The Pangshan Taoist priests did not come out to greet them, only Mu Xingqiu stood at the gate of the barracks as a general and did not kneel.

Even when the army was in chaos and the country was ruined, some rules were still not broken, and the welcoming ceremony at the gate of the barracks lasted for a while, and a palace maid on behalf of the princess encouraged all the soldiers, especially thanking the Taoist priest Pangshan and the monks who rushed to support. The words were elegant, but they were quite long, and Mu Xingqiu could hardly believe that this was what the princess came up with.

In the main hall of the barracks, Mu Xingqiu officially handed over the command of the Xuanfu Army in the city and his own "general" title to the general of Xijieguo brought to the princess, and finally was able to restore his identity as a Taoist priest. The handover process was humble and reasonable, and Mu Xingqiu had been reminded in advance, so he dealt with it properly, but he was slightly impatient.

The princess herself finally appeared. Wearing a veil, Mu Xingqiu remembered that beautiful face that made people feel happy, he nodded in greeting, and did not give a big salute like other generals, because of Zuo Liuying's appointment, he represented the entire Pangshan Dao system at this time, and there was no need to kneel even in front of the royal family.

The princess sat on the throne. There were two palace maids and four guards on the left and right, and this time she spoke by herself, without the endorsement of the palace maid, "Time is pressing." The day after tomorrow is the day when the demon army attacks, and I hope you can come up with a battle plan immediately. ”

There were a total of eleven generals attending the meeting, one of them was a senior talisman master, a pale old man, when he met Mu Xingqiu, he asked him his name twice, and then sat on the chair and staggered, as if he had fallen asleep like this, and never planned to wake up again.

The status of the other generals was high and low, but a tall old man with a purple cloak was respected, his surname was Xin, and he must also be a member of the royal family, and everyone called him "Master Taifu".

Only Mu Xingqiu was an outsider, representing Daoist Pangshan and dozens of monks, and the others were not qualified to participate in this military meeting.

Taifu Xin stood up, glanced at the crowd majestically, nodded slightly to Mu Xingqiu, and bowed shallowly to the princess, "I have reached an agreement with the generals that tomorrow the people of the whole city will be sent to Dongjie Kingdom, and then the army will withdraw from Broken Flow City, and continue to implement the strategy formulated by Her Royal Highness the princess at the beginning - to avoid the enemy's edge." ”

He spoke briefly, trying to take it as the princess's idea, but there was an unmistakable haughty in his tone, and he did not mean to consult with anyone.

Mu Xingqiu's position is relatively special, he is not only a guest, but also a Taoist priest, and the actual manager of Broken Flow City before, so he sits first on the left hand of the princess, just opposite to Mrs. Xin.

This is the first time he has figured out the mentality and feelings of the aristocracy, it is much more difficult than feeling the crowd, he has long appeared, the first layer of the illusion has a more direct and effective grasp of the hearts of the people, on the contrary, it seems a little weak when used on individuals, eleven generals, not too much and not too little, but Mu Xingqiu has no way to break through.

Everyone in the main hall, including the sleepy old talisman master, was in a regular and fast fluctuation, like an insect hanging in the air flapping its wings, so fast that it was difficult to observe, but on the surface, their expressions were extremely firm, as if they had already made up their minds and did not hesitate for a moment.

Mu Xingqiu slowly saw the truth, there were two diametrically opposed feelings in the room, they came from the princess and Mrs. Xin, and the feelings of the others were swaying between these two, and the fast fluctuations he felt were actually the generals trying to figure out the hearts of their bosses.

He ran into a group of peers, but without the support of the telepsy spell. Mu Xingqiu almost laughed out loud, forcibly held back, and continued to observe, not particularly caring about what Mrs. Xin was saying.

The princess was silent for a while, as if waiting for someone to stand up and refute it, and finally had to name her, "What is Fu Jun's opinion?"

The old talisman master shook twice as if he had been awakened. The wrinkled face was full of confusion, "Huh? my opinion...... This, it's a good choice to avoid the enemy's edge, Lord Taifu Gaojian, Princess Gaojian, we have been executing well, and this time we have saved so many people......"

He rambled on for a long time. In the end, I forgot what I was talking about, and the preface didn't match the afterword.

Mrs. Xin waved his hand at the old Fu Master and motioned for him to shut up, "I understand, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still a little hesitant, after all, Broken Flow City is the last city in Xijie Kingdom. Throw it away, and there will be no more land left in the Western Jie Kingdom. But the shape is like this, the demon clan soldiers are many generals, and there are demon mountains to open the way, and the broken flow city can't stop it, and thousands of purple rune troops and Xuanfu army can't stop it. The demon army is quite ambitious, and after capturing Broken Stream City, it will immediately enter the Dongjie Kingdom. In this way, the only army in the Western Jie Kingdom can avoid the main force of the demon army and wait for an opportunity to retake the territory. That's the only viable strategy, and we all think so. ”

The generals nodded, but they were not very enthusiastic, more like a perfunctory.

The princess was silent again, and suddenly turned to Mu Xingqiu, "I want to hear what this seeker thinks. After all, he has been guarding Broken Flow City for more than a month, so he should know a little more about the shape shΓ¬. ”

The princess's tone was flat, as if she had never met Taoist priest Pangshan.

Mu Xingqiu stood up and nodded to the princess and all the generals present, and everyone returned the salute, only Mrs. Xin looked very reluctant, but did not raise any objections.

"Before I say what I think. I want to start by talking about the decision of the Pangshan Daotong: there is a reason for us to stop in Broken Flow City, and we will not leave Broken Flow City for at least a few days until the matter is resolved. ”

A little Taoist priest actually spoke in such an impolite and tough tone. The generals were very surprised-in their opinion, Pangshan was ruined, and the Taoist priests of Pangshan did not have their previous status, so they should be humble.

The old talisman master looked at him with one eye, and the other generals either coughed or adjusted their sitting posture to hide their embarrassment, only Taifu Xin snorted coldly, "Does the Pangshan Daoist plan to face ten thousand demon soldiers alone?"

"Next, I'm going to say some of my thoughts, I hope that the army of Xijie Kingdom can stay and defend the city in unison with Pangshan Dao. ”

Mrs. Xin was about to refute it, but the princess had already rushed ahead and asked in an interested tone, "Why? ”

The princess had already asked, and Mrs. Xin had to shut up.

"Exiting Broken Stream City is even more detrimental to Xijieguo. Mu Xingqiu's gaze swept over the generals again, "I don't understand the affairs between the vassal states, but as a Pangshan Taoist priest, I know one thing, the demon clan is spreading unclean qi in the Xijie country, and wherever the demon soldiers capture, the unclean qi will cover wherever it is." Giving up the Broken Flow City, the Xijie ** team will lose their foothold in their own country, and when the unclean qi finally takes shape, the entire Xijie country will become a part of the land of demons, and it will be even more difficult to take it back than now. ”

As soon as Mu Xingqiu's words fell, Taifu Xin immediately said: "The seeker is reasonable, but I want to tell you the truth, the Holy Fu Dynasty and the vassal states did send troops, but they did not come to support the Xijie Kingdom, they stopped hundreds of miles away, farther than the demon army, and only released a bunch of eagle-eyed flying talismans to watch the battle." Do you understand? Broken Flow City is still an isolated city, with no assistance, not at all. ”

"Before you arrived, there were only a thousand soldiers in Broken Stream City, but we didn't think about escaping, and I have been persuading the people of Manchu City to go to Dongjie Province, but he would rather risk staying in his country. Mu Xingqiu's tone was calm, he didn't want to argue with anyone, the Nian Mind Illusion was a spell, and language was just a means to cast a spell, not the spell itself, and there was no point in yelling, "So I don't understand, after increasing the number of reinforcements several times, why running away has become the only option?"

Mrs. Xin's face changed suddenly, and he felt that he had been publicly humiliated, and the Mind Illusion Technique couldn't change his feelings at this time, "Let's tell the truth, the Pangshan Dao System is finished, you yourself are a group of fugitives, and you want to use the Xijie ** team to do things for you, but you can't do it." I will not allow the last 5,000 soldiers of the Western Sect to die here. If the Taoist priest wants to die, it's your business, and we won't accompany you!"

Mrs. Xin's voice became more and more severe, and Mu Xingqiu's tone became even more flat, "Don't you still understand Lord Taifu?" Xijieguo and Pang Shan are also defeated, and the heart of death is our only hope." Introducing the demon army into the Dongjie Kingdom will not allow you to regain your homeland, but will only make the Xijie ** team lose the value of its existence. ”

Mu Xingqiu stared closely at Taifu Xin on the opposite side, leading the nine methods of the nine transformations of the beast to run at the same time, he was using the strongest illusion to collect the changes of the emotions and guide themβ€”he couldn't change those strong emotions, but he could let them burst out.
