After Gu Si's vanguard arrived on Haimen Island, Chu Qingyu hurriedly led the forward team to set off from Southern Chu City, and the Qiyun Chu family was even later, and at this time, the follow-up army of Chu Qinmen was ready.

Thinking over the mountain, the cliff top hall.

"One hundred people from the Yan family have arrived, Sang Jia and Ying Bo have each introduced a few monks from the open sea, plus some of the original Baishan heel disciples in the door who were included in the door after Jianfeng's group of people are forty or fifty, a total of one hundred and fifty people, these people should be able to be trusted. The old cultivator of the Yan family who led the team to build the foundation participated in the Baishan opening war a hundred years ago, and he could rely on it as an arm, discuss with him more when he has something, and listen to his opinions more. ”

Qi Xiu handed the roster in his hand to Qin Guangyao, "Then I picked out thirty or forty of the Jiang family's captives, and there are also a total of seventy or eighty people from the several small families and scattered cultivators temporarily hired from Baishan, and when they arrive in Qi Dongcheng, Nangong Yanran will hand over the more than ten monks hired by you from the local area." If you want to make good use of these 200 people, you have to learn something, not only to guard against them, but also not to treat them differently on the surface, and to go into battle, but not to completely disregard their lives......"

"Also, the two teenagers from the Ancient Sword Sect are here to train, and protection is essential, so don't send a mission that is too dangerous. ”

He chattered a lot, and when he saw that Qin Guangyao had listened to it, he nodded with relief, and said earnestly: "You are the one who is the top one in the current generation of my Chu Qin Sect, and you are the only one who has a partial teacher, and the ingredients are so mixed, you must not act recklessly and fall into the prestige of my Chu Qin." ”

"Yes!"

Qin Guangyao knelt down with emotion and replied loudly: "The disciple must live up to his mission!"

"Go ahead. ”

Sent away Qin Guangyao, Qi Xiu personally walked out of the main hall, the square in front of the hall was already full of people, 'Southern Chu' and 'Chu Qin' were red on both sides, Qin Changfeng and Dorosen took the lead, one was handsome, the other was rough, all of them were the choice of the world, and the three thousand six hundred people from each family in the Chu and Qin League stood in a huge phalanx.

The quality of these people is a cut worse than that of the forwards, after all, each family has to arrange capable personnel to stay behind, and basically rely on numbers to support the momentum of the military formation. Many people obviously lacked confidence and experience, and they were in the local area with a confused and depressed face before going into battle, and there were more than 100 treacherous people who were picked out by Qi Xiu among the Jiang family's captives, all of them shrunk their shoulders and backs, and their eyes wandered around.

"Master Qi, I won't say much, just wish you a triumphant victory as soon as possible, and we will meet again when you return to Baishan!"

Gu Rong led Yan Muyun and other friends forward, saying all kinds of auspicious words of farewell.

Qi Xiu thanked them one by one, and then said to Gu Tiesheng, Meng Jun, Yu Qing'er, Kan Xuan and others: "If you go here or for more than ten years, you will take care of your family, so that I can feel at ease in the open sea." ”

Everyone responded solemnly, and several women even began to sob.

Seeing that the feelings of parting were about to spread, Qi Xiu was afraid that people's hearts would become more and more unstable, so he turned around and jumped on the shuttle, waved his hand at the door, and said loudly: "Get on the boat, go!"

Qin Changfeng and Dorosen led these 3,600 people to board the ship in turn, the 400 people in Qin Guangyao's hands had not yet been assembled, and they set off in the latter batch, these 4,000 people plus the 2,000 that Gu Si had brought to Haimen Island, the Chu and Qin League had a full 6,000 people in this open sea recovery war.

It is necessary to know that the Qiyun Chu family has only a total of 8,000 people, and after these years of continuous recruitment and reproduction, there are only about 10,000 people who go to the open sea with Chu Hongshang. Even if it is compared with other Yuanying forces that went to the open sea, Chu Qinmen at least lagged behind in terms of numbers.

Looking at the smaller and smaller Si Guoshan, Qi Xiu had mixed feelings in his heart, stood on the deck and waved his hand frequently, until the figure of Meng Jun and the others kneeling down was completely invisible, and then he got up and went back to his quiet room.

"Ancestor, please drink tea. ”

A cute girl of five or six years old, dressed as a Taoist child, carried the eldest tea tray and carefully moved it to the table step by step to serve tea.

"Huh. ”

When Qi Xiu saw her, his mood was much more relaxed, and he showed a kind smile, "It's Xiao Zhonglin, what about the senior brothers, why do you want to serve tea?"

On this expedition, Qi Xiu brought several young children from the inner gate, Zhang Lin, Qin Zhonglin, Wei Minxing, Luo Xinwu, Luo Youwu, Pa Jixin, and Zhao Shi, to accompany him, so that they could be taken care of and taught.

"It's my turn today. ”

Qin Zhonglin replied crisply.

"Good ......"

Qi Xiu casually asked a few words of homework, and then ordered her to step down.

I didn't say anything all the way, and when I arrived in Qidong City, I stopped for a while, and while accepting the joint inspection of the Great Zhou Academy, Qidong and Haidong, I discussed the logistics with Nangong Yanran, who was waiting there.

"Before this enemy is seen, the spirit stones of the Great Treasury will flow out like water......"

Nangong Yanran is used to crying poor, and Chu Qinmen's expenses for soliciting loose cultivation and preparing utensils are not a decimal. As soon as thousands of people moved, they began to calculate the amount of money every day, although it was very small, but the number of people was too large, and the accumulation was very considerable. If there is an assignment, you have to list a separate task reward, which is another ......

"Okay, okay, that's how the army is going, wait for me to start on the open sea, and see where I can find some supplements. ”

Qi Xiu comforted her like this, and said: "Now other incomes are not used, only the income of the two places of Qifu City and Siguofang, you have to pay attention to it." ”

Nangong Yanran heard that there was still something to make up, her eyes lit up, and she asked again, but Qi Xiu refused to say, so she had to retire, and before leaving, she presented a letter, saying that it was left by someone from the Great Zhou Academy.

"Oh?"

Qi Xiu opened it and looked at it, and groaned with his cheeks.

......

Starting from Qidong City, Chu Qin's army went straight to Haimen Island smoothly, but Qi Xiu did not accompany him, but went to Haidong City alone.

The atmosphere of war here has been very strong, and the forces participating in the war on all sides have begun to restrain the monks to prepare to set off to take down the first target of the entire Liberation War: [Songping Island].

Because most of the stations are outside the city, there is no crowd of people in Haidong City, and there is no tense atmosphere at the beginning of the demonic disaster.

Qi Xiu recognized the way and walked alone to a quiet cave in the mountain.

On the way, I passed by some monks from time to time, all of whom were righteous people from the Great Zhou Academy, Tianli Sect, and Qinglian Sword Sect.

'Ji Xinlong's former residence', Qi Xiu looked up at the plaque of the cave mansion, it should be newly established, and the surrounding environment was sorted out very solemnly, and it seems that the Guigu party attaches great importance to this place.

The gate of the cave has been lowered, and the ban on the phantom array is also very relaxed, Qi Xiu stepped in at will, and immediately saw a newly erected stone stele, on which the suicide note left by Ji Xinlong before committing suicide was engraved on it. The suicide note bitterly stated the urgency of Xiao Moyuan's opening-up, accusing the Confucianists of opening up another battlefield due to infighting, and then the prophecy that this move would inevitably lead to chaos, word by word, has now completely become a reality.

If a neutral person who doesn't know the inside story sees it, there must be a bias in his heart between the Guigu faction who is brave enough to do things and the Confucian faction who is dedicated to infighting.

Walking inside, furniture, futons, calligraphy and paintings, and the study, all the things used by Ji Xinlong back then were there, and the green smoke curled in the incense burner, as if there were still people living in it.

In addition to Qi Xiu, there were already a few people in the audience, and some young monks cursed in a low voice, as if saying that they should not be deceived by the false Taoism of the Confucian sect, and it seemed that the effect was quite good.

"Alas!"

After spending a stick of incense and returning to the door, Qi Xiu couldn't help but sigh, the strategy is wonderful, but it's a pity that there are countless creatures in the open sea.

"Can't you see it?" a voice suddenly came in.

Qi Xiu was a spirit, and immediately regretted that he shouldn't sigh, and looked back, a Confucian robe, a female cultivator, was standing behind him heroically, white clothes were bright and radiant.

"Hime-senpai?"

Qi Xiu's mind turned, and he remembered that the person in front of him was Ji Jiaqian, who had been secretly in contact with his family through Sha Nuo for many years, "You are not ......"

"Who still has the face to shut me up now. ”

Ji Jiaqian sneered, "Come with me." He turned around and walked forward, leading Qi Xiu into a secret door behind the cave.

Behind the secret door is the control center of this cave, and the bright wall is placed in front of Ji Jiaqian's seat, and it seems that she is here to observe the people who come to pay tribute to Ji Xinlong.

"I know that your road is difficult, and in the future, you, the Chu family, and the Dan League will all contact me through that Shano, and everything will be as usual. ”

The two sat opposite each other, and Ji Jiaqian said first.

This is not negotiable, Qi Xiu is indeed impossible to run around these things outside, so he nodded in agreement, "The Dan League has been changed to Qingdanmen, and he has his own intermediary over there." He reminded.

"Just hand over a lot of spirit stones. ”

Ji Jiaqian was very direct, "I am different from Xinlong, it is inconvenient to communicate too much, if there are new forces in Baishan in the future, I will return to the ancients, it should be up to you and Shano to contact." ”

This job is not bad, in the future, I am not afraid that someone in Baishan will bypass me, and I will buy Guigu and give up Chu Qin, "The predecessors have loved." Qi Xiu should take it.

"You haven't answered me yet, are you dissatisfied?"

Ji Jiaqian's beautiful eyes were cold, staring at Qi Xiu's face.

"Dissatisfied, what dissatisfied?" Qi Xiu pretended to be stupid.

"Do you think that this incident in the open sea was deliberately caused by my return to the ancients, yes or no?" she pressed step by step.

Qi Xiu groaned, secretly thinking in his heart, this question cannot be perfunctory, let alone treat the other party as a fool, and chose to ask rhetorically: "If I say that I don't have this idea, you won't believe it, senior?"

Ji Jiaqian smiled when she heard this, "It's understandable that you think so, so I won't pursue it." She also asked, "Do you know who will benefit the most from this demonic disaster?"

"Uh......" Qi Xiu didn't dare to guess.

"It's Qi Yun's lineage!" Ji Jiaqian replied by herself: "The open sea has been swept away, where does the new master come from?" Qi Yun! If there is no demonic disaster, can your master family wait for a good place like Baita City?"

"After the opening up of the fifth-order spiritual land of the Little Demon Yuan, where did the new master come from? or Qi Yun! If it is opened up in a hundred years, my Great Zhou Academy will contact and coordinate with many parties, this kind of spiritual land that can be used for the promotion of the Yuan Infant will definitely have many forces vying for it, how can it rush to allow the Heaven and Earth Peak?"

"Also, do you know about the Royal Beast Gate eating deflated in the Valley of the Awakening Lion?" she asked.

Qi Xiu was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't believe it in his heart, "I know a thing or two." ”

"The Jade Rabbit of the Imperial Beast Gate was abducted by Qiyun Heaven and Earth Peak, do you know?"

Ji Jiaqian's question was even more shocking to Qi Xiu, "I don't know." ”

"The Royal Beast Gate opened the Lion Valley, and was killed by the old lion, the owner of the Jade Rabbit died, and Heaven and Earth Peak sent Cai Yuan to take the opportunity to abduct her. The Royal Beast Gate is now not sure to turn its face with the Heaven and Earth Peak, and it has not turned into a god to dare to enter the Lion Awakening Valley again, entering, not entering, retreating, unable to retreat. The only way is to negotiate peace with the Qi Yun faction, and first press the old lion to death, but he did not let go of his mouth for the sake of face, and he was deadlocked. ”

"Hehe, at this moment, the Iron Wind Islands are all wiped out, and the Imperial Beast Gate wants to cross the Qiyun realm to regain it, and it can be regarded as a request for Qiyun. Isn't it just a matter of taking this opportunity for both sides to talk about a table?"

The more Ji Jiaqian spoke, the more excited she became, "Also, on the surface, the demonic disaster caused the Righteous Qi Fang to distract the Confucianism and Righteous Path, which greatly reduced the pressure on me to return to the ancients. But who knows, the other one in the Black Wind Valley Shuanghua God happens to have a very close relationship with Qiyun Heaven and Earth Peak and Nanlin Temple Kurong Monk!"

"Ahh

Qi Xiu finally changed color, and as soon as his mind changed, he secretly scolded the ancient Yuan Infant in front of him, why did he tell a small character in his own family about these secrets!

"Humph......"

Ji Jiaqian didn't know that Qi Xiu was scolding herself in her heart, and she was very satisfied with his shocked reaction, "The difference between good and evil is obscure, and we can't do such a thing as slaughtering the open sea, you must remember this." ”

Qi Xiu listened to her and said that it was still to settle his own heart, and if he settled his own heart, he also settled the heart of Shuangchu, no, the heart of Sanchu......

"It seems that this time to recover the open sea, Sanchu has gathered a total of 25,000 people's strength, and he has truly entered the eyes of the ancient law. ”

He sighed secretly in his heart.
