Xin Youtao had a habit of never saying his true thoughts in front of outsiders, and after Yang Qingyin, Shen Hao and others went out, he stopped Mu Xingqiu.

There was still a hint of reproach in his friendly eyes, and he said: "You, you are really a fierce general, and you will move forward bravely on the battlefield, but as soon as you encounter something unpredictable, you will unknowingly fall into the trap." ”

"What did I do wrong again?" Mu Xingqiu asked with a smile, he really wanted to know what Xin Youtao thought about the current shape.

Xin Youtao pondered for a while, "Helping is a science, and if it is too difficult to say, it seems that it is shirking, which will make the other party unhappy; ”

"I said yes too easily, but no one asked me for help. ”

"Asking for help is also a science, stupid people say things are as important as their lives, they are simply forcing the other lion to open their mouths, and smart people try to make things as simple as possible, and treat help and reward as a very ordinary transaction. Zuo Liuying is a genius, he is really a genius, he obviously made you do a great favor, but it seems to give you a huge honor. ”

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "The Patriarch Tower is in danger, the Nine Great Dao System is full of fog, the Grandmaster actually refuses to show up, Zuo Liuying asked a breathing Taoist priest to make a decision for him - you are right, I did him a great favor, no matter what decision I make, he has room to maneuver." ”

Xin Youtao kept shaking his fingers, "That's right, Zuo Liuying claims that he is concentrating on repairing the Patriarch Pagoda and pushing you out of a low-level Taoist priest, this is an extremely clever trick, your decision is correct, it is his credit, your decision is incorrect, he can correct it at any time, and take back the power." ”

"In this way, in Zuo Liuying's eyes, I still have use value. ”

"That's because you're nosy. Xin Youtao pouted, "I'm Prince Xijie." Sooner or later, if you have to go to the Huangjing Longbin Society, it is impossible to work hard for Pang Shan; the old lady is not successful enough to fail; Shen Hao's prestige is not enough, not to mention others. Only you, Zuo Liuying, sees you through, so she will use you as a shield. ”

"I am a disciple of Pang Shan, and I must be a shield when I need it. ”

Xin Youtao shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever you want, I just feel worthless for you, you should take the opportunity to put forward some conditions to Zuo Liuying, if you want to go further on the path of cultivation." The help of the seat is indispensable. And you have to think about it, this shield is not good, the front is the demon army, and the back is the Nine Great Dao Unity. The Grandmaster and the other Pangshan Daoists must have been trapped in Chaojing Mountain, there is no doubt about this, it may be a bureau set up by several Dao Sects. They didn't come to openly snatch the Patriarch Tower, they took care of their faces and Zuo Liuying, they were waiting, and when Zuo Liuying was cornered, they took the initiative to send them to the door. Just look. We are doomed to be alone. ”

"Zuo Liuying will have a way. Mu Xingqiu was full of confidence.

"What's the solution?"

"I don't know, but he definitely won't let the Patriarch Pagoda fall into the hands of others, let alone let the Pangshan Dao Tong disappear. With a superficial understanding of the Forbidden Secret Seat, Mu Xingqiu believed that he would never give in lightly.

"But if necessary. Zuo Liuying will not hesitate to make you disappear. Xin Youtao felt that Mu Xingqiu still didn't understand the crux of the problem.

A soldier walked in from outside, saying that the castle keeper had invited His Royal Highness the Prince, "There's new news from the capital." ”

Xin Youtao's face changed slightly, it was almost impossible for good news to come from the capital at this time. He walked towards the door, stopped abruptly and said, "You are so nosy, come and take care of the affairs of Xijieguoβ€”come with me to meet Chen Zhiwei." He's an old slippery head, and he's not easy to deal with. ”

Mu Xingqiu readily agreed, and when they left, he said, "Is this a smart way for a smart person to ask for help? ”

The two laughed together. "I'm doing it myself. Xin Youtao said.

Yang Qingyin and the others were practicing shooting arrows with a talisman longbow outside, and the strength of the Taoist priest was too great, and each arrow could shoot through the target, which attracted the roar of the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army, and they only wondered one thing, why the female generals from the capital were stronger than the male generals.

Yang Qingyin didn't care about the applause at all, and saw Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao walking out with a smile, and asked loudly: "How to fight the next battle, have you thought about it?"

Before Grandmaster Ning Qiwei sent a messenger, they still had to prepare normally to face the demon soldiers, although the first group of demon soldiers were all killed, but the matter of Shen Jiyi's use of spells would still spread, and the next group of demon soldiers would inevitably increase in strength.

"With the Kirin, everyone will try it and see who can ride the last one. Mu Xingqiu also replied loudly, unless there was no other way, he still had to restrict everyone from using spells.

"Then I can participate in the war?" Yang Qingyin was most concerned about this issue.

"Yes. ”

The cheers in the barracks were louder, and the confidence strengthened by a victory in the morning increased a little, "We have another immortal to help, right, General Mu?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled and said nothing, the immortal in the eyes of the soldiers was Shen Jiyi, it was difficult to say whether this Asan Taoist priest would stay and help, but he was indeed a powerful helper, even if the disciples of Pangshan could use spells at will, they also needed a commander, and Shen Jiyi was the most suitable person.

It was late at night when the two of them came to the city guard's mansion, Chen Zhiwei stood at the gate to greet him, he was frightened in the past few days, and he had eaten a few hard meals before he could ease up, and his round stomach was a little good because of this.

Seeing Chen Zhiwei at the gate from afar, Xin Youtao whispered: "The old slippery head is going to run for his life." ”

"How do you know?" Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised, Lord Cheng Shou looked good, and his smile was also very calm, more like he had good news to report.

"Standing at the gate is the courtesy to greet you, General Mu, and to greet the prince, he should stand at the corner of the street, so ...... Hum. ”

There is a reason behind the castle keeper's inconsiderate manners.

In the lobby, Chen Zhiwei calmly sat in the main seat with a little humility, and took out a letter from his cuff, "The loss of the capital is almost this morning. ”

There are different levels of talisman messages between the cities of the vassal states, and the higher the level, the faster the speed, the capital is 17800 miles away from the city of Broken Stream, and the letter will be delivered in six or seven hours, indicating that this is the highest level of urgent letter.

Xin Youtao had expected that the defenders of the capital city were not the opponents of the demon clan a few days ago, so at this time, he was very calm, took the letter and read it quickly, and handed it to Mu Xingqiu.

The content of the letter is simple. It is only said that the capital is lost, and the officials of each city are required to act at the opportunity and accept the summons of King Xijie at any time to recover the homeland.

The royal family is still there, and the letter did not reveal his whereabouts.

"What are Lord Chen's plans?" Xin Youtao asked in a harmonious voice.

"Of course, the lower officials are following His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness said that he was fighting, and the lower officials were spilled with blood, His Royal Highness said to retreat, and the lower officials were saddled before and after the horse. ”

Chen Zhiwei said righteously, Xin Youtao seemed a little moved, "Lord Chen is loyal and patriotic. I know very well, but you are the defender of the city, and you still have to make up your mind. ”

The two were humble to each other, loyalty and trust were the themes of every sentence, and in the end, Chen Zhiwei gave in and sighed, "Since His Royal Highness has to let the lower official take the idea, the lower official will dare to say a few words." ”

"Speak. ”

"Broken Flow City can't be defended. Chen Zhiwei's expression was both stern and sad, "General Mu fought a victory today. This is a great achievement, but the city is too small, there are not many soldiers, and the demon clan is both heaven and earth. When the army is killed, we will definitely not be able to hold it. ”

As soon as Lord Castle Shou spoke, Xin Youtao began to nod, and he was still nodding when the other party finished speaking. "Lord Chen means to retreat, where to retreat?"

His Royal Highness the Prince seemed to have no intention of objecting, and Chen Zhiwei's eyes lit up. "Half of Xijie Country has fallen, and other cities are estimated to not be able to hold it for long, we should retreat to Dongjie Country with all the soldiers, horses and materials, and block the demon army by the river, or have a chance of winning. ”

"The relationship between Dongjieguo and Xijieguo is not very good, will they accept us?"

"Dongjieguo has accepted the fleeing people, what reason is there not to accept His Royal Highness? But after all, the shape is different, and His Highness may need to make a little ...... Denote. ”

"You mean to bend the knee to Dongjieguo for help?"

"It can't be regarded as 'bending the knee', this is just a transaction between the royal family and the royal family, as for how to be more beneficial to Xijieguo, it depends on His Royal Highness. ”

Xin Youtao glanced at Mu Xingqiu, smiled and said to Chen Zhiwei, "Okay, I decided." ”

Chen Zhiwei's face was happy, "When the dragon is still dormant, today's slight must be the strength of his day, Your Highness ......"

Xin Youtao interrupted Chen Zhiwei's praise, "I have decided to remove you from your position as a city guard. ”

"Huh?" Chen Zhiwei was dumbfounded, almost choking on what he didn't say.

"In this way, you will be able to flee to Dongjie Country as a common man, and when it is peaceful here, you can also come back to your old position. ”

Chen Zhiwei's face turned red and pale, and he suddenly changed his tone, "Your Highness wants to remove the subordinate official from his position, of course he can, but my city guard is sealed by the king himself, and I don't have the will of the king's seal, I don't dare to disobey the king's order and leave my post without permission, and I beg Your Highness to give me a copy of the king's decree." ”

"My father's whereabouts are unknown, and the country of Seikatsu will be regent by me from today onwards. Later, tell me how you negotiated with Tosuke in secret. ”

Chen Zhiwei was annoyed and angry, and stood up sharply, his stomach standing higher, "Your Highness wants to be regent, but you are not alone. Don't think I don't know, the king has long intended to abolish you, and is ready to make the second prince the prince. And-" Chen Zhiwei sneered, "You didn't go back to the capital at all, you, you are all fish who slipped through the net of the Pangshan Dao system, and fled to Broken Flow City in a hurry to take refuge, and actually negotiated conditions with me." To tell the truth, Tosuke is preparing to destroy the bridge, and there will be no chance to escape when the time comes. If Your Highness is willing to sacrifice the country as a minister, you can also stay away from the demon soldiers and enjoy wealth and prosperity, otherwise please stay alone in the empty city. I will cross the river tomorrow, the city will be left to you, and I will take all the Xuanfu army and the materials in the city with me. ”

Xin Youtao also stood up and shook his head, "Since you know that we are Pangshan Daoists, do you still want to take everything with you?"

"Haha, I not only know that you are the remnants of Pang Mountain, but also know that you are just a group of small Taoist priests in the breath inhalation realm, and the Xuanfu Army does not have good talismans, but it does not mean that there is no such thing as Broken Flow City, let alone that I will not use it. ”

With a bang, two slender flower snakes suddenly appeared on the ground, entangled the two Pang Shan disciples in the blink of an eye.
