Chapter Ninety-Nine: Departure

Xuan Qiwu said loudly to everyone: "I, Xuan Qiwu, promise all the people of the Holy Xuan Sect that no matter when, I will do my best to protect the interests of the Holy Xuan Sect. The crowd cheered.

Xuan Qiwu said to Zhang Xiao, Zheng Qinghong, and Gunqi: "If you want to leave now, I won't stop you." If I want to continue to stay in the Holy Xuan Sect, I will not blame the past, but if there are any more bad intentions, I will no longer be polite. Then he said to the people, "Let everyone disperse." With that, he left alone.

Zhang Xiao, Zheng Qinghong, and Gun Anger always stood in place, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Lu Yunli and Wu Xiaofei returned to Xiping Mansion along the tunnel, and along the way, Lu Yunli really counted the iron gates one by one, a total of ninety-nine.

Out of the tunnel, a spy came to Wu Xiaofei's side to report secretly. Wu Xiaofei said to Lu Yunli: "The spies from the front have come to report that the king of Tanglin will lead 50,000 elite soldiers to Yinshan for 300 miles, and the king of Beiling will also send 20,000 elites to reinforce him. Chen Xing, the king of the southwest, also moved very quickly, and now he has garrisoned in Beisheng Mansion, a hundred miles away from Yinshan. Speaking of which, this Chen Xing is too bold, only 50,000 people, but between the two armies of the Northwest King and the Dongling King, he killed Zhao Qi, the city lord of Beishengfu, and all 50,000 people were stationed in Beishengfu to strengthen the city wall, which was to use this as a base to wait for work. ”

Lu Yunli: "If the spies don't have a false alarm, the King of Tanglin will not be able to travel a long distance, and this way through the territory of the King of Northeast will not be hindered, and in the territory of the King of Beiling, it will be smooth all the way." It seems that this battle will be very difficult. ”

Wu Xiaofei took Lu Yunli to Wu Tian's general's mansion, and Wu Tian was discussing countermeasures with Deng Wei and his subordinates. Wu Xiaofei decided to arrange Lu Yunli in the grocery room next to his room. Someone was called to clean the house, and the chairs and beds were all arranged.

It was getting dark, and Wu Tiancai finished talking to everyone. Lu Yunli stepped forward to salute and said, "General Wu is fine, and the junior Lu Yunli met in Yancheng three years ago. ”

Of course, Wu Tian remembered this person who made his daughter think about it all night, and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, at that time, Lao Deng pretended to be dead, and he was so scared that you wanted to break the net with us." He laughed "haha".

Lu Yunli also smiled: "At that time, I was reckless, and I asked General Wu to include it." ”

Wu Xiaofei said on the side: "Dad, I asked someone to prepare good wine and food, you and I can eat together." ”

Wu Tian knows Wu Xiaofei's character best, knows what medicine she sells in her gourd, and pretends not to go. Wu Xiaofei begged again and again, but Wu Tian was helpless and said: "It's only a while, the military has been busy recently. ”

Wu Xiaofei readily agreed. The three of them dined in Wu Xiaofei's room, and during the banquet, Wu Tian asked Lu Yunli what had happened in the past three years. Lu Yunli also did not hide it, saying that he had practiced swordsmanship for three years, failed hand in hand with Lan Ji, fell off the cliff, and learned swordsmanship. It's just that the Lingjing Temple lost Leng Baguio in the first battle, and went alone to save Leng Baguio. Wu Tian just asked about some details, and most of the time it was Lu Yunli who was talking, as if he had already wanted to find someone to say all this. Wu Xiaofei was also listening attentively from the sidelines, and Lu Yunli had never said these words to himself.

Wu Tian: "Since you are in the whirlpool of this war, tell me your views on this war. ”

Lu Yunli: "War is caused by people's greed. Speaking of the heirloom treasures of Yinshan, I don't know what attracted the king of Tanglin to come all the way to mobilize the people. The king of Tanglin is backed by the East China Sea, and there are few hidden dangers, and he also does business with some vassal states of Ryukyu, Dongying, and Goryeo all the year round, and gold and silver can be piled up into mountains. The fields are also fertile, densely populated, with many soldiers, and the people live in abundance. How could such a vassal king with such achievements stir up a lot of people and disturb the world for the sake of a small treasure?"

Wu Tian: "It turns out that you have also noticed this, many people say that it is for some of these unknown things, divine blades or others. ”

Lu Yunli: "I have speculated countless times in my heart, but I can't think of it. Aside from the throne of the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, does the King of Tanglin have anything else to desire?"

There is an answer in Lu Yun's centrifugation, but it is only a fairy legend, something that cannot be found in the world. Wu Tian didn't get an answer, he was a little discouraged in his heart, he got up to leave, Wu Xiaofei and Lu Yun left the door to see him off. Wu Tian thought that this young man would have some answers that were different from ordinary people, and he was a little disappointed.

The two looked at Wu Tian, and Lu Yunli suddenly spoke: "Then what does General Wu think?"

Wu Tian stopped, looked back at Lu Yunli, and said, "What you and I are guessing in our hearts is an untrustworthy legend, but the king of Tanglin is so active that he has to make people suspicious. ”

Lu Yunli: "You and I are not the only ones in this world who see this, and it is not surprising that there is nothing in the vast sky. ”

Wu Tian looked at Lu Yunli, he didn't believe this person at first, and sent many spies to inquire about Lu Yunli's origin and experience. There are still many worries, and I know Lu Yunli through the silent meeting, so I can rest assured that Wu Xiaofei and Lu Yunli are together. Wu Tian didn't speak, turned around and left.

Lu Yunli stood still in an open space in front of the door, pulled out the Frost Sword, and used a set of Nine Heavens Meteor Sword Technique. He pulled out the Black Flame Knife again and used a set of Sky Erosion Knife Techniques. Wu Xiaofei watched from the sidelines. It's not to look at how subtle these two sets of sword moves are, but to look at Lu Yunli's serious demeanor, and his heart is rippling.

Late at night, Wu Xiaofei came to the Wu Tian conference room alone, knocked softly, and pushed the door in. There was only Wu Tian inside, looking at the sand table and thinking for a long time. Wu Xiaofei poured Wu Tian a cup of tea and watched from the side. After a while, Wu Tian looked up at Wu Xiaofei and asked, "What's the matter with coming so late?"

Wu Xiaofei: "It's nothing, it's just that my father is too tired, so I sent a pot of tea to refresh myself." ”

Wu Tian: "The king of Tanglin will arrive at Yinshan in five days at most, and he has a map of the heirloom treasure in his hand, and the king of the southwest will definitely follow." I'm not worried that the two of them are fighting each other, but I'm worried that the gold and silver treasures in the treasure are just a disguise, and some divine weapons in them will be controlled by the Tanglin King, and it will be against us at that time. ”

Wu Xiaofei: "Is there any silent person in the treasure who doesn't know?"

Wu Tian: "They didn't say they didn't know, they just said that the items in it could be exchanged for the entire country." It's a price that no one can afford. ”

Wu Xiaofei comforted: "Wuyin will be afraid and don't know what is in it, it's just a sky-high asking price to cover up the fact that I don't know." ”

Wu Tian: "I also hope so, but this Wuyin Club has existed in the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years, and the information bought from them is very accurate, and there has never been half a deviation." This time, there must be some truth in what they say. I have to pay attention to it. ”

Wu Xiaofei: "How is my father going to act?"

Wu Tian: "The boundary of the Yin Mountain is dangerous and difficult to travel, no matter which side, with tens of thousands of troops can only stop outside the mountain, even if you force in, it can only be a long snake formation, and it is inevitable that you will be slid by rolling stones during the march, and you will fall off the cliff. The casualties could not be estimated. I don't think it's time to send a big army, but to make a surprise attack, take a dangerous road, and cut off its head, no matter how many soldiers you bring with you, it will be useless. ”

Wu Xiaofei: "Father, who has you thought about with you?"

Wu Tian: "I and Xuan Qiwu, plus a few right-hand men he selected." ”

Wu Xiaofei: "I also want to go with my father." ”

Wu Tian flatly refused: "No, you don't care about your martial arts, this is more than lucky, even if a master like me and Xuan Qiwu may not be able to retreat." ”

Wu Xiaofei: "Knowing that my father has been working hard these days, I just want to get closer." ”

Wu Tian: "Whether it is Chen Xing, the king of the southwest, or Li Hongyu, the king of Tangling, they are extremely tricky people, and no one can do anything more insidious and vicious. If you really want to help me, you can wait for my news in Xiping Mansion with peace of mind, and if I unfortunately fail to come back, you will assist your eldest brother to succeed you as the king of the northwest. ”

Wu Xiaofei: "Since that's the case, I won't say more, it's good that the father understands his daughter's intentions." ”

Wu Tian: "Lu Yunli is not bad for that kid, Xuan Qiwu also praised him in front of me, wait for my father to come back, and handle the marriage for the two of you." ”

Wu Xiaofei's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Two days passed in a row, and on this day, the weather was hazy and the wind was blowing. Xuan Qiwu took Shuangfeike, Sword Greed, Knife Idiot, Gan Yi, Ye Bu, and Tong Xiang, a total of eight people. Wu Tian led twenty close guards, all of whom were agile and experienced in a hundred battles. Dressed up, armed with blades and dry food, and set off together.

Everyone picked a remote path to march, and sometimes encountered spies from the Southwest Army, all of whom were killed with a wave of their hands. Within two days, he was in the middle of the Yin Mountain. The mountain is perennially cloudy and windy. There are many strange rocks in the mountains, and the rocks are loose, and I don't know when which one will roll down. The valley is bottomless, there are no animals in the whole mountain, and even wild grasses are rare.

Yin Mountain stretched for 700 miles, and 29 people struggled to move forward in the mountains, hoping to find the shadow of the Tanglin Army. However, the clouds in this Yin Mountain are too heavy, and even during the day, they can't be seen ten miles away. It wasn't until noon on the third day that Ye Bu looked at the mountain in front of him and seemed to be moving, and after watching it for a long time, he realized that the gray-black color of the Tanglin Army uniform was almost the same as that of this mountain stone, which was difficult to notice.

Following their direction, they always kept a distance of four or five miles apart, and saw Zhou Lang and Sun Hucheng leading more than a dozen black snakes in front, and the soldiers behind them were like long snakes, marching step by step. Everyone watched for a long time, but they didn't see the figure of Li Hongyu, the king of Tanglin, and they were suspicious.

Xuan Qiwu asked Wu Tian, "Where do you think the King of Tanglin will be at this time?"

Wu Tian: "If I am the king of Dongling, I must not worry about letting others get the treasure first, I just have two guesses, one is that Li Hongyu is mixed in this team, and he is dressed the same as them." Another speculation is that Li Hongyu is not here, but uses this group of teams as a cover for others and travels another way by himself. ”

Xuan Qiwu: "Why don't we test it." ”

Wu Tian nodded and said to everyone: "Xuan Qiwu and I stepped forward to test, you are here to rest and be on call at any time." After saying that, they each went out with an iron arm bow and two baskets full of arrows.
