At dusk, the battleship approached Xiangyang, and you could already vaguely see the head of the Xiongcheng city that had blocked the iron cavalry of Houjian.

Li Xiaocheng, the Taibao of the Great Chu, once personally sat in this city and made a later vassal king die under the city.

At that time, the city of Xiangyang supported half of the southeast.

Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang disembarked side by side, and Wu Yu and the others also went ashore under the escort of a group of sword qi volley hall swordsmen, and the group merged together and marched towards this city of a hundred battles in the twilight.

At the same time, a group of women led by Huang Funing have also returned to Xiangfan, and the two cities face each other across the Han River, collectively known as Liangxiang. Since the beginning of Great Chu, the two cities with the word Xiang in their names are clearly distinguished, Xiangyang is the territory of military generals, and Xiangfan is the territory of civil officials.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, Xiangfan pressed Xiangyang one head, in troubled times, Xiangyang again pressed Xiangfan one head, although it is said to be a peaceful and prosperous era at the moment, but the afterglow of gunpowder smoke in the world for decades has not yet dissipated, most of the old military generals are alive, so the civil official line is far from suppressing the military generals, in today's Huzhou, there is the Jiangnan Army sitting in Xiangyang to stabilize the Xiangfan where the three divisions of the yamen are located.

There is a Taoist temple in Xiangfan City, which is called Wanxian Palace.

The name of Wanxian Palace is very large, but in fact, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized scale, and it is in a position that is not up or down among many Taoist temples in the world, but in Huzhou, it is already one of the best Taoist temples.

At this time, an old Taoist came to the Taoist temple, wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, mango shoes and wooden hairpins, like an ordinary Taoist wandering man, but his body was obviously injured, his qi was scattered, and his face was extremely pale.

If Xu Beiyou was here, he would recognize this Taoist, who was the one who blocked the way on the river, and was finally smashed into the water by Xu Beiyou with eight hundred sword qi, and fled in a hurry by the water.

This Daomen Sanren's surname is Ye, and he has the same surname as Qiu Ye, the real person in charge, and he is also a little related to the Ye family of Wei State.

In his early years, he had great ambitions and wanted to become the master of a peak, but his own talent was limited, and he stopped after barely stepping into the realm of earth immortals, and his luck was not good, so he didn't even get mixed up with the name of a great person for so many years, so he was disheartened, left Daomen Xuandu, and began to travel around the world.

A few years ago, he passed by Jiangdu, got acquainted with Du Haiyun, the two talked very happily, this time he was shocked to hear about the change of Jiangnan Daomen, but he knew that his cultivation was shallow, since the entire Jiangnan Daomen was destroyed, if he rashly went to Jiangdu City, it would be in vain, and he could only hover in Huzhou, Xiangzhou and other places.

When he learned that Xu Beiyou was going to Huzhou, he made up his mind to do something about this young master of the Sword Sect, if he could kill it, it would be a big deal to go back to Xuandu, if he couldn't kill it, he could also frustrate his spirit, and then his reputation would spread throughout the entire Daomen.

But Ye Daoren never expected that a junior would also have such a cultivation, not to mention killing people and blocking the way, and he almost didn't die on the Jingjiang River.

At night, it began to drizzle, and the door of the Taoist temple was lit up, emitting a dim yellow light in the rain curtain.

Two Taoist men wearing hats came to the door of the Taoist temple and knocked on the door.

A little Taoist boy opened the door of the Taoist temple and welcomed the two inside.

Came to the main hall of the Wanxian Palace, took off the hat dripping with rain for the first Daoist, revealing his face underneath, it was Du Haixiao, the master of the Jiangnan Daomen, and the female Taoist who accompanied him was not a bystander, but the only remaining archdeacon of the Demon Suppression Hall in Jiangnan, King Chujiang.

After the fall of the Taoist workshop, Du Haixiao retreated to Huzhou with Zhongli Anning, and then Zhongli Anning left alone and disappeared.

Du Haiyan originally wanted to integrate the remnants of Jiangnan Daomen in Huzhou, but he didn't dare to say that he would counterattack Jiangdu, at least to protect the Daomen Taoist temples in the remaining states.

However, Huzhou is the garrison of the Jiangnan Army, under the oppression of the Jiangnan Army, the Daomen forces here are not as good as Jiangzhou and Jiangdu, and since Yu Kuang took power, he was "embarrassed" with Xu Beiyou, and did not hesitate to directly call the army to suppress the local Daomen, and had sealed three Taoist temples under the pretext of this.

This time Xu Beiyou was invited to Huzhou, which is undoubtedly worse for Du Haixiao, this move means that Xu and Yu will not distinguish each other in a short period of time, Yu Kuang is not Chen Qiong, he will not be afraid of Taoism, and even in order to "curry" Emperor Xiao, he will not hesitate to use the entire Jiangnan army to kill him, the head of Jiangnan Province.

Today's Huzhou is no longer a place for Du Haiyu to stay for a long time.

Ye Daoren greeted him and said, "I don't know if Du Daoyou is coming, and I miss the welcome." ”

Du Haixiao bowed, "There is a friend of Lao Ye." ”

Ye Daoren said ashamedly: "I'm ashamed, it's Ye who doesn't measure himself, and he almost becomes a laughing stock." ”

Du Haiyan sighed lightly: "It's not that the poor Dao destroys the ambition of his family, that Jiangdu Xu Gongzi is indeed not a simple character, this change in the Taoist workshop, it is not an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly promoted, the Dragon King of Buddhism and the Xuanjiao Murong Xuanyin were invited by him, and now he has formed an alliance with Yu Kuang, and he is bound to exterminate my Jiangnan Daomen, and now Huzhou is no longer a place to stay for a long time. ”

"The situation has come to such a point?" Ye Daoren muttered: "There is such a big thing in Jiangnan, why don't Xuandu ignore it?"

"Xuandu!?" Du Haiyan sneered, "Now Xuandu has taken care of himself, Tianyun, Wuyun, and Baiyun are fighting for the position of a first disciple, and most of the Daomen have been swept in, where will anyone care about Jiangnan Daomen, even if there is, it will be after the three of them have divided the winners and losers." ”

Ye Daoren sighed helplessly, "It's an eventful season." ”

Look at the genuine chapter on the cool craftsman 0

King Chu Jiang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, since Xu Beiyou took the initiative to leave Jiangdu, can we let him, the culprit, ambush him in Huzhou before leaving?"

"Foolish dreams. Du Haiyan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Others are in Xiangyang, not in Xiangfan, there is the territory of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, surrounded by a large army, and Yu Kuang himself is in charge, with our current manpower and material resources, there is no half possibility." ”

King Chu Jiang said angrily: "Can we only retreat again and again? When is the end of retreat? The day before yesterday, we abandoned Jiangdu, yesterday we abandoned Jiangzhou, and now we abandon Huzhou, will we abandon Xiangzhou tomorrow? Yesterday in Jiangzuo, today in Xiangfan, tomorrow in Yueyang, when will we be able to return to Jiangdu?"

Du Hai's face was like water, "The times are difficult, and the number of qi is not there, what can I do!?"

King Chu Jiang directly brushed his sleeves away.

Ye Daoren smiled bitterly and was speechless.

In the night, Xu Beiyou and Yu Kuang climbed to the head of Xiangyang City together, stood where Li Xiaocheng stood back then, and looked at Xiangfan City on the opposite side of the riverbank.

Yu Kuang held on to the battlements and asked with a smile: "Nangui, believe it or not, Du Haiyan is now in Xiangfan City." ”

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Believe." ”

Yu Kuang laughed and said: "The old man of the Du family was frightened and fled all the way. ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Since he is right under your nose, then you haven't thought of taking his head? If you can dedicate the head of Jiangnan Dao to His Majesty the Emperor, it will be a great achievement." ”

Yu Kuang said calmly: "I've thought about it, but now is not the time." ”

Xu Beiyou sighed and frowned slightly.

Yu Kuang asked, "What do you think of this Jiangnan governor?"

Xu Beiyou thought for a while and said slowly: "The main business has been for decades, losing land every year, and the honorific title is more than a dozen words, and every word deceives the sky. ”
