After Xu Beiyou and Qian Muzhai and his party separated, before entering the White Emperor City, they encountered a group of assassinations that were beyond their strength, and then they were slaughtered by Xu Beiyou without a sword. Daomen has stood in the world for thousands of years, not only will cultivate immortals who ascend to the Tao, but also raise their henchmen like many high-level families, even if they know that Xu Beiyou is a sword immortal in the eighteenth floor realm, he still launched an assassination on the way Xu Beiyou must go to Shuzhou, this assassination used a lot of precious and incomparably strange poisons, if it is not guarded, it is the sixteenth-floor realm of the earth immortal can not escape, the reason why Mingchen was planted in the hands of Xiao Zhinan was because of the strange poison plot, resulting in a great loss of cultivation, and finally died in the hands of the younger generation Xiao Zhinan。

However, this time the strange poison failed to win by surprise, and the people who used the poison could not get close to Xu Beiyou's body, and they were all cut off by the sword qi surrounding Xu Beiyou's body, and no one was spared.

In fact, even if Xu Beiyou is poisoned, it doesn't necessarily happen, after all, he is far from being comparable to a bright dust now, and the cultivation of Tongtian on the eighteenth floor is enough to make him proud of the world, and Daomen will not know this, but under the successive defeats, they are already a little helpless, and they can only use this kind of means that they know that the odds of winning are extremely small to almost impossible to fight, in case they succeed, even if it only hurts Xu Beiyou, it is enough to make Daomen's next layout much calmer.

It's a pity that everything in the world is never one in ten thousand, and this attack on Daomen can only end in failure.

From an outsider's point of view, these dead soldiers have a chivalrous style of Spring and Autumn Period, and the Daomen's methods of raising soldiers are indeed good, but now that Xu Beiyou is in the bureau, he is standing on the opposite side of these dead soldiers and Daomen, so it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.

Xu Beiyou squatted down and ripped off the face towel of an assassin, revealing an old man who was dead, his eyes wide open, looking at the sky overhead. I think it is precisely because he is old and frail that he can no longer have the possibility of making progress, so he will be regarded as an outcast by the Daomen.

Xu Beiyou didn't have any compassion, he just closed his eyes casually, and then got up and walked towards the city.

Before arriving at the city gate, Sun Shaotang had already come out of the city.

This is the first time Xu Beiyou has met the former military governor of the left, and Sun Shaotang is also the first time to meet this famous little pavilion elder.

However, this first meeting was not pleasant, Xu Beiyou didn't say anything, just pointed to a corpse not far behind him, not intentionally reprimanding anything, it was a wake-up call for Sun Shaotang, which was a bit of a beating.

In the face of this general of Pingyu, Sun Shaotang did not deliberately take a stand, made a clear and lofty attitude, nor did he grovel and be honestly afraid, but just faced it calmly with the attitude of ordinary bosses and subordinates, and at the same time made people dispose of these corpses, he also showed Xu Beiyou that he was derelict in his duties and asked the officials to surrender.

It is true that Xu Beiyou nominally has the authority to control Sun Shaotang, but at this time, he is also a general who holds military power, so it is not good to take it too seriously, and Xu Beiyou has no intention of harshly criticizing Sun Shaotang, and after the matter is passed, the two entered the city together.

Sun Shaotang's capital governor is located in the Yong'an Palace of the White Emperor City, which is located on the highest Yong'an Mountain in the White Emperor City, where you can easily overlook the situation outside the city, which is very suitable for supervising the battle command.

When they came to the main hall of Yong'an Palace, the two did not exchange too many polite greetings, Sun Shaotang directly began to introduce the situation in southern Xinjiang to Xu Beiyou, and then Xu Beiyou came forward to go to southern Xinjiang in person, and tried to solve the affairs of southern Xinjiang.

The southern Xinjiang issue has always been a major problem for the Central Plains dynasties in previous dynasties, and neither the ancient famous minister who crossed the Lu in May nor the Gongsun clan and the later Tang clan who were entrenched in Shuzhou have fundamentally solved this problem.

For Xu Beiyou, he doesn't expect him to be able to do what no one has been able to do before, even if he kills into southern Xinjiang with one person and one sword, kills a corpse all over the field, and kills a river of blood, it is only the second Lin Han, it is useless at all, not to mention that there is a witch cult in southern Xinjiang, although today's witch cult is not as good as before, but the witch cult has been standing in the world for a long time, even more than the Daomen, and has always been a master, if there is a second Zhu Jiuyin such a big master, plus the witch sect has been operating in southern Xinjiang for thousands of years, even if Xu Beiyou wants to do something, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky。 Xu Beiyou was convinced that he could get out of southern Xinjiang safely with his own cultivation, and the real difficulty was how to keep southern Xinjiang from participating in this world chaos, and then enable the Shu army to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River and solve the dilemma of the Great Qi court.

Xu Beiyou thought about it several times, but he didn't have a clue, even if he talked to Sun Shaotang about this issue, there was still no good way, after all, the blood feud between the two clans lasted for thousands of years, and if he wanted to reverse it with the power of one person, even if the Buddha came into the world, I am afraid that he would not have such a great magical power.

In the final analysis, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world, no matter the gods and Buddhas, or the emperors and generals, they can't hold it for a long time, let alone go against the trend. If someone can grasp the hearts of the people for a long time, there will be no dynasty change in this world, and Taoist ancestors, Buddhas, and saints will not need to preach in the world.

After a secret conversation with Sun Shaotang, Sun Shaotang arranged for Xu Beiyou to live temporarily in an attic in the Yong'an Palace of the White Emperor City, Xu Beiyou pushed open the window and could see the mighty river outside the city, the river water was clear, and the bottom could be seen, but Xu Beiyou didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him, and the corners of his mouth flashed a helpless bitter smileIt is not enough to just transfer 100,000 Chinese troops from Jiangbei, but also this Shu army that has just experienced the war in southern Xinjiang, plus Yu Kuang's Jiangnan rear army, the three parties will join forces to drive the King of Wei and his Wei army out of Jiangnan and drive down the East China Sea, so that Jiangnan, which bears the weight of the world's money and grain, will be a little more stable.

What worries Xu Beiyou even more is that the assassination he encountered in White Emperor City this time is not big, but it can explain a lot of problems, and the most critical point is that the Daomen led by Murong Xuan have already noticed his movements and intentions, so this trip to southern Xinjiang is destined to not be peaceful, maybe it will be another bloody battle against the Daomen.

If there is any other way, how can he be willing to personally take risks to challenge the rules of heaven overhead? But the situation is already like this, with a disabled Jiangnan rear army, can not hold Jiangnan, military affairs and monks seeking immortality are two completely different things, not that he Xu Beiyou became a sword immortal on the eighteenth floor, he can block a million divisions with a sword, Xiao Yu was only the realm of the twelfth floor of the earth immortal, why can he sweep Liuhe, and respect the eight wilderness? Why did Shangguan Xianchen and Fu Chen, two invincible people, still lose in the hands of Xiao Yu?

The Sword Sect has always said that the world is just a sword thing, and this is just talking.

Can it really be leveled with a sword?

Maybe someone can do it, but the current Xu Beiyou can't do it.

At this time, Xu Beiyou stood at the window, looking at the rolling river, half self-deprecating and half sighing: "When the time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and the heroes are not free?"
