Chapter 298 Zhao Xun's Second Letter (Super chapter of nearly 20000 words)
"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zheng Jie knew that Emperor Xianlong had lost his mind at this moment.

But as a servant, as the emperor's confidant, he had to take the risk of offending Tianwei to dissuade Emperor Xianlong at this time.

"In the eyes of this servant, Zhao Xun cannot be captured and brought to Beijing at this moment."

"What did you say?"

Emperor Xianlong stared at Zheng Jie in disbelief, before letting out a breath after a long time.

"The servant feels that it is inappropriate to arrest Zhao Xun and go to Beijing now."

"Go on."

Emperor Xianlong forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

"There are three reasons. First, Zhao Xun said in the memorandum that His Royal Highness Wei Wang conspired first, and he was forced to kill Wei Wang in order to stabilize the situation. This matter must not be hidden. If Zhao Xun lied, it must be full of loopholes. Your Majesty can first order someone to investigate the authenticity of the incident. If Zhao Xun is proved to be lying, it will not be too late to arrest him."

After a pause, Zheng Jie continued: "Secondly, Zhao Xun has a Taoist school and an academy behind him. Let's not talk about the Taoist school. But the head of the academy must protect him from death. If there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it is Zhao Xun Xun is wrong, the head of the mountain will definitely not let it go."

Seeing that Emperor Xianlong was silent, Zheng Jie hesitated for a moment, but continued: "The third reason is that His Majesty has really done this, and those censors will definitely be excited. His Royal Highness has always been famous. Not good, the censors often impeach him for misbehavior in the fief, going out to hunt regardless of the people's sentiments, trampling on the crops and so on. It can be said that King Wei made the people in the fief miserable. Now that King Wei is killed, the censors must applaud. If His Majesty orders Zhao Xun to be arrested, these censors will definitely try their best to advise."

"They dare!"

Hearing this, Emperor Xianlong couldn't hold back at all.

Censor Yanguan?What are these bastards?
On weekdays, Emperor Xianlong held back, it was because he didn't bother arguing with these guys who could only spit shit out of their mouths.

But disdain does not mean that he can't. Now that Emperor Xianlong is suffering from the loss of his son, if these censors don't know how to put salt on his wound, Emperor Xianlong can't stand it anymore.

"If they dare to chew their tongues, I will drag them out of the court to see if their bones are hard or my board is hard."

"Think twice, Your Majesty. If you really do this, then a hundred years from now, the history books will definitely write it down, saying that you killed loyal ministers with a stick."

Emperor Xianlong was silent now.

What Zheng Jie said can be regarded as the truth.

What the emperor fears most has always been the historian, because it involves not only your past events but also your posthumous name.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Xianlong sighed and said: "Forget it, just follow what you said, and send someone to investigate the situation first. If it is true what Zhao Xun said, I will admit it. But if he dares to lie , I want to kill his nine clans!"

At this moment, Emperor Xianlong revealed the majesty of a generation of emperors.

In Shazhou City, Liu Lin, the Anxi Chief Guard, felt that something was wrong.

Although there has been an army stationed outside the city, it seems that this army has no intention of acting, but has been hiding in the tent and waiting for an opportunity.

It would be terrible if the Hu tribe in the Western Regions and the Liangzhou rebels were digging tunnels and wanted to enter Shazhou City through the tunnels.

Judging from the current indications, this possibility is very high.

After some discussion, Liu Lin decided to send someone out of the city to have a look.

As a result, I didn't know it, and I was shocked when I saw it.

The scouts sent by Liu Lin found that the enemy troops stationed outside the city did not have 10,000+ at all, but several thousand at most.

It's just that the tents they put up look like a lot.

Good guy.

Liu Lin was furious after getting this information.

It turned out that the enemy had already fled.

They have been kept in the dark, it is simply too deceiving!

At this moment, he received a letter from Liangzhou City via teleportation.

The person who wrote the letter claimed to be Zhao Xun, and he was under the bad guy Feng Hao.

Liu Lin and Feng Hao worked together in Anxi for quite a long time, and then they moved to Shazhou after several twists and turns.

During the whole process, Feng Hao showed the persistence that a man should have.

This made Liu Lin very moved.

If it weren't for Feng Hao's life-and-death battle, it would be impossible for Anxi's army to return to the sandbar alive.

Feng Hao's men shouldn't be bad either, right?

After all, good soldiers are taught by good generals.

Liu Lin opened the letter and read it carefully, but the more he read it, the more surprised he became, and in the end he was dumbfounded.

"What! The Allied forces of the Western Regions and the Shazhou rebels went straight to Liangzhou, intending to attack Chang'an with the garrison of Liangzhou City. Zhao Xun discovered King Wei's wolf ambition, and Zhao Xun killed him to stop the rebellion. The Allied Forces of the Western Regions should It’s back to Shazhou, Zhao Xun wrote this letter to tell me to be careful.”

Liu Lin really couldn't believe all this, the majestic vassal king was beheaded by Zhao Xun?

Whether he wanted to believe it or not, it was the truth.

Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to quickly rectify the army and prepare for a fierce battle with the Western Regions army moving westward at any time.

How can Liu Lin not like the opportunity to make up for all the humiliation he suffered before.

He hated these duplicitous beards the most, and this time he must make them return their capital with interest.

After sending the letter to Chang'an, Zhao Xun was in a calm mood.

He didn't panic at all, because he knew that Emperor Xianlong didn't dare to do anything to him.

Unless he wiped out all the soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou City.

Otherwise, as long as someone testifies that King Wei rebelled and colluded with the Hu tribe in the Western Regions to attack Chang'an, Zhao Xun would be safe.

Because he was eliminating traitors for the country, if Emperor Xianlong wanted to kill Zhao Xun, he would be against the righteousness of the world, and he would lose all people's hearts.

Even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants in this world.

He will have many constraints and can only act within these constraints.

Emperor Xianlong, who has been an emperor for so many years, should understand best, he will not be stupid at this time.

Zhao Xun is not worried about his own safety, but rather worried about Shazhou.

After the Allied Forces of the Western Regions withdrew, they would definitely go all the way west and return to the Western Regions.

Inevitably they would pass by the sandbar.

Will they be tempted this time?

After all, Shazhou is the gateway connecting the Western Regions and Hexi.

If the sandbar can be taken down, the people of the Western Regions will be equivalent to driving a nail into Hexi.

It is very beneficial for them to advance, attack and retreat.

Zhao Xun felt that they could not resist this temptation.

So in all likelihood, the barbarians from the Western Regions will attack Shazhou City.

So Zhao Xun immediately wrote a letter of credit teleportation and sent it to Shazhou City.

He specially reported his name, and also mentioned Feng Hao's name.

Because the current Anxi Chief Protector Liu Lin and Feng Hao are old, Zhao Xun can use this relationship to bring the distance between the two parties closer.

I just don't know if Liu Lin will listen to Zhao Xun's words after reading the letter.

In the end, Emperor Xianlong chose to go to Liangzhou to investigate the death of King Wei was Feng Hao.

After thinking about it, only Feng Hao is the most suitable for this identity.

After all, Feng Hao is not handsome, and is Zhao Xun's immediate boss.

And bad people are in charge of investigating important cases.

When it comes to the death of the vassal king, other yamen are not suitable to intervene.

Only bad people are the safest.

But Feng Hao was depressed.

He would never have thought that Zhao Xun would dare to kill the feudal king.

I still remember that before he set off, he had repeatedly told Zhao Xun not to conflict with King Wei.

How did Zhao Xun answer at that time?
Feng Hao thought about it carefully, and remembered that what Zhao Xun said at the beginning was that he would not take the initiative to conflict with King Wei.

This sentence is intriguing.

What does it mean not to take the initiative to conflict? Doesn't this mean that you won't attack first.

It seems that from the moment Zhao Xun left Chang'an, he realized that the conflict between him and King Wei was irreconcilable, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

What Zhao Xun can do is not to strike first.And once King Wei made the first move, Zhao Xun stood on the moral high ground.

King Wei is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Feng Hao, who is not handsome, knows this very well.

King Wei has been in Liangzhou for a year, and he must have a strong control over Liangzhou's soldiers and horses.

But Feng Hao didn't expect that King Wei would dare to treason.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty declined, the strength of the imperial court was not comparable to that of a mere vassal king.

Liangzhou is located in Hexi, the local people are martial arts, and all the people are brave and good at fighting.

But so what.

The population in Hexi is thin, and so is Liangzhou.

Even if an army is assembled with all the efforts, the number will be tens of thousands.

Relying on tens of thousands of people to want to rebel?

King Wei really took it for granted.

However, King Wei's move to join forces with the Allied Forces of the Western Regions was a good move.

There are at least 10,000+ troops in the Western Regions. If you can borrow troops from the Western Regions and gather an army of 20, it can still pose a certain threat to Chang'an.

As for the details of the matter, Feng Hao does not know now, he has to go to Liangzhou to investigate in person to find out.

In any case, Zhao Xun was single-handedly picked up by Feng Hao.

As long as things are really as Zhao Xun said in the memorial, Feng Hao will defend Zhao Xun no matter what.

Emperor Xianlong would definitely not let this matter go, but sometimes politics is not just based on the likes and dislikes of the superiors, but also pays attention to the balance of multi-party games.

Feng Hao believes that as long as he puts enough evidence in front of Emperor Xianlong and presents the facts to him, the matter will definitely be exposed.

The most urgent task now is to stabilize Zhao Xun.

Before Feng Hao left Chang'an City, he specially wrote a long letter, and then used the teleportation technique to send it to Liangzhou.

He believed that as long as Zhao Xun read this letter, he would be able to understand his good intentions.

Sword Master Wei Wuji retreated to practice immediately after returning to Dongyue, no matter who came to see him, he would not see him.

In the Battle of Chang'an, his vitality was severely injured. Although he regained his life, his realm dropped by at least [-]%.

If you can't retreat and practice with peace of mind in the next period of time, and recover the [-]% of the drop, not to mention the second place in the world, you may even fall out of the top ten in one fell swoop.

Dongyue is just a small place, and the reason why it can survive until now is because Wei Wuji, the second greatest swordsman in the world, sits in charge.

I thought the gap between him and the head of the mountain would not be that big, but this trip to Chang'an made Wei Wuji fully realize the gap between the two sides.

It can be said that the strength gap between the two parties is like a gap, and they are not at the same level at all.

It's not like I don't know, but Yibi is really shocked.

Shan Zhang's cultivation level is obviously higher than that of all practitioners in the world. As for the other practitioners, they are just competing for the second place.

No wonder the high priest of the Demon Sect had to wait for the coalition forces from the Southern Man and the Western Regions to arrive in Chang'an before taking action.

It is really because the strength of the head of the mountain is too outstanding.

Without gathering everyone's strength, it would be difficult to pose a big threat to the head of the mountain.

In the end, the army from the Western Regions failed to arrive as promised, and the East China Sea Monster Kingdom also missed the appointment.

The High Priest of the Demon Sect had no choice but to rush to fight. Facts have proved that they are no match for the Great Zhou army and the academy in this case.

The head of the mountain alone can defeat Wei Wuji and the high priest of the Mozong respectively.

As for that Nanban witch and Gu master, he was a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall.

Wei Wuji was very angry, he was angry that his strength was not as good as others, and he was even more angry that he listened to the nonsense of the high priest of the Demon Sect.

If the mountain leader is neutral, they still have a chance of winning the battle of Chang'an.But as long as the head of the mountain is clearly on Da Zhou's side, they have no chance of winning.

Keeping a low profile and working hard to cultivate inner strength is the kingly way.

At least for a short period of time, Wei Wuji will not touch Chang'an's bad luck again.

Can't afford to hurt, really can't afford to hurt.

It's hard to say whether he can come back alive again. Once he dies or is seriously injured, the entire Dongyue Kingdom and Dongyue Jiange will fall and be scattered, and will be destroyed since then.

If you want to challenge Chang'an, challenge the Academy, the only way is to make yourself stronger.

Wei Wuji swore that he would definitely return to Chang'an City again in this life.

The moment he returned to Chang'an City was the moment for the academy and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty to return their capital with interest.

The process of returning the northern barbarians to the grassland was smoother than expected.

Because they returned to Shuozhou, an important stronghold on the way they must pass through the grassland, and did not give them much resistance.

This is of course because the Emperor Da Zhou listened to the slander and believed that the Shuozhou Jiedu envoy Wang Zhongyi supported the bandits to respect himself, collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Emperor Da Zhou, who was dazzled by hatred, ordered Wang Zhongyi Lingchi to be executed in Chang'an.

For a while, the Shuozhou army had no leader, so naturally they had no idea of ​​attacking the northern barbarians.

The result of this battle can only be said to be unsatisfactory for the northern barbarians.

Although they looted a large amount of gold, silver and food, it was still difficult to solve the problem of grassland drought.

Even the High Priest of the Demon Sect cannot influence God's decision.

Things like praying for rain can only be done as human beings and obey the destiny.

God does not rain, even the high priest has no choice.

Prolonged drought can cause pastures to die.

Then the cattle and sheep will become emaciated because they don't have enough food, and they will starve to death in the end.

It's a vicious circle, and it's anyone's guess whether the livestock can survive this winter.

But at least the looted food can keep the grassland people alive.When livestock die, there is still hope for people alive.

It is much better than starving livestock to death and people starving to death.

The High Priest of the Demon Sect miscalculated once, but he knew that the battle between the grassland people and the Central Plains people was far from over, and he had another chance next time, and that was the moment that really decided the fate of both sides.

The moment Zhao Xun received Feng Hao's handwritten letter sent by teleportation, his heart was extremely heavy.

Because he knew very well that this matter had become a big deal.

Originally thought that he had reasoned everything, Emperor Xianlong was a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, he couldn't tell what he was suffering.

But now it seems that he obviously underestimated Emperor Xianlong's shamelessness.

Obviously it was King Wei's fault, and Zhao Xun beheaded him to quell King Wei's rebellion.

However, Emperor Xianlong had the intention of beating him up.

The only good news is that the official who came to Liangzhou to investigate this time was none other than Zhao Xun's immediate boss, Feng Hao.

Needless to say about the relationship between Feng Hao and Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun was single-handedly picked up by Feng Hao, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is his direct descendant.

As long as Zhao Xun did not rebel, Feng Hao would definitely protect him to the death.

So this investigation is beneficial to Zhao Xun.

Feng Hao is a second-rank practitioner, and it shouldn't be long before he comes to Liangzhou.

What Zhao Xun has to do now is to collect as much evidence as possible in his favor, and prevent someone from suddenly jumping out to pour him a pot of dirty water.

The rebellion in Liangzhou has basically been quelled. After the rebel officers were beheaded, the ordinary soldiers basically had no intention of rebelling. Their previous establishment was disrupted by Zhao Xun and they were reorganized.

In this way, the recurrence of rebellion can be avoided to the greatest extent.

The soldiers did not know each other, so it was impossible to secretly communicate with each other.

Of course, you still have to keep an eye out.

Zhao Xun asked Lu Guangdou, the sixth brother of the academy, to place a talisman in each barracks.

In this way, Zhao Xun will be able to sense it as soon as someone has a change.

Only by taking precautions can we be invincible.

Zhao Xun didn't dare to relax at the moment.

At least before Feng Hao arrived in Liangzhou, he didn't want any more moths to appear.

Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.

Shan Zhang and Zhulin Sword Immortal Yao Yan sat on the second floor and played chess.

The two sides have played hundreds of games like this.

There will be winners and losers, and no one can completely suppress the other.

In terms of cultivation realm, Shanzhang is well-deserved No.1 in the world.

But there is more than one person who can compete with the head of the mountain in chess.

"Shanchang, do you think the emperor will be unfavorable to Zhao Xun?"

After dropping the ball, Yao Yan asked a little vainly.

"You are worried about Yingying."

The head of the mountain smiled lightly: "Don't worry, they will be fine."

After being told about the incident by the head of the mountain, Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, blushed suddenly.

"Ahem, the head of the mountain really knows things like a god, admire, admire."

"Okay, stop kissing my ass."

The head of the mountain stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Actually, I didn't expect Xiao 72 to kill Wei Wang, but this Wei Wang did too much, and he should be taught a lesson. Although Xiao 72 used too much force, but there is something This old man has a bit of demeanor back then."

Hearing this, Yao Yan was completely relieved.

The head of the mountain is so calm, which shows that the emperor can't do anything to Zhao Xun.

The emperor couldn't threaten Zhao Xun, so naturally he couldn't threaten Yingying.

"But this matter is far from over. The reason why the northern barbarians went south this time and called so many allies to come to Chang'an is actually because the High Priest of the Demon Sect calculated that the Dark Gate will open soon."

The tone of the head of the mountain suddenly became a lot more serious, and then he sighed: "That's why they dare to attack Chang'an City so unscrupulously while I am still in Chang'an."

Portal of Darkness?

Yao Yan was a little unfamiliar with this word, and just about to ask the mountain chief, he continued: "It is said that the gate of darkness will open every 500 years. After the gate of darkness is opened, people from another dimension can come through the gate of darkness. Our world. Those who come may be good or bad, gods or demons."

When Yao Yan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

If it is true what the head of the mountain said, isn't Chang'an city in danger?
If there are really countless devils coming out of the portal of darkness, how should they deal with it?
"However, the conditions for opening the Dark Portal are very strict. First, it must be at the grand node of 500 years, and secondly, there must be a grand summoning ceremony. Only when these conditions are met, can the Dark Portal be opened. As far as I know , the only person in this world who masters this dark summoning technique is the High Priest of the Demon Sect."

Yao Yan's face showed joy when he heard the words: "It's easy to say, as long as we kill the high priest of the Demon Sect, wouldn't it mean that there will be no future troubles. At least no one will open the door of darkness for at least 500 years. As for What happens 500 years from now is out of our control.”

Yao Yan's words are somewhat reasonable. Up to now, no practitioner has been able to live beyond 500 years.

Even the mighty head of the mountain cannot live forever.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable problems for human beings.

Practitioners are no exception.

If only the High Priest of the Demon Sect has mastered the summoning technique of the Dark Portal, the most simple and direct way is to kill the High Priest of the Demon Sect, so as to avoid future troubles.

"It's not that simple."

The head of the mountain shook his head.

"The cultivation base of the high priest of the Demon Sect is also super-grade, although it is worse than the old man, but you have to know that if a super-grade wants to kill a super-grade, it must be when he confronts you. If he doesn't want to confront you head-on, a It is impossible for a super cultivator to kill another super cultivator."

The words of the head of the mountain really confused Yao Yan.

What does it mean?
What does it mean that a super practitioner cannot kill another super practitioner in a non-combat state?
"In other words, he can run. As long as he intends to run, it is impossible for me to catch up with his body in the first place."

The head of the mountain sighed: "What I chased may be an illusion, it may be a clone, it may be just a body."

He paused and said, "Do you understand what I said?"

This.
Of course Yao Yan understood.

Anyway, he is also a high-level practitioner, so he naturally understands the principle of running away if he can't beat him.

Not to mention those super powerhouses, even Yao Yan himself can create phantom clones and use these things to confuse opponents.

As long as this is achieved, even the tallest and strongest practitioners will not be able to complete the kill in the first time.

This is what the head of the mountain said that a super practitioner cannot kill another super practitioner in a non-combat state.

Whether it's Wei Wuji, the high priest of the Demon Sect, or even the leader of the Nanban witches and Gu masters, they are all super-grade practitioners.

Of course, they also have enough ability to create enough clones in a short period of time to confuse the head of the mountain.

It takes time for the head of the mountain to distinguish these illusions of clones, and when the head of the mountain distinguishes the true from the false, they can create new illusions of clones.

To put it bluntly, this is an infinite loop process.

"So what should we do now?"

"Watch what happens."

Shanchang gave a way that Taoists like to take.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy doesn't exert force, we can just wait quietly."

The head of the mountain seems very confident.

"The reason why the old man is worried about the opening of the portal of darkness is not because he is afraid of things coming out of the portal of darkness. It is because he does not know what kind of code of conduct the creatures in the world beyond the portal of darkness will have. Their thinking will Will it be different from us? Will their handling habits be different from ours? If there is a real fight, the old man feels that not only this world, but also the world in the portal of darkness will have no opponents."

"."

After hearing the words of the head of the mountain, Yao Yan was really convinced.

If there is anyone in this world who can be arrogant, it must be the head of the mountain.

But Shan Zhang's madness makes sense.

Because he is the strongest in the world.

Others tied together will not have the dominance of the head of the mountain.

It can be said that the head of the mountain is the guardian god in this world.

As long as there is a mountain growing, they don't have to panic too much.

"I understand. It's just the head of the mountain. Are Zhao Xun and Yingying really all right?"

The head of the mountain gave Yao Yan a blank look and said, "Why, don't you believe what I say?"

"That's not there."

"If you're really worried, you can go and see for yourself. How can such a big man treat his mother-in-law?"

The head of the mountain snorted and said, "No wonder Yingying sometimes blames you."

"."

If it was someone else who commented on him like this, Wei Wuji would have quit long ago.

But the person who said that is the head of the mountain, what can he do?
I can only listen obediently.

"The sky will not change so quickly, let alone the old man. As long as the old man is here, the sky will not collapse."

The head of the mountain said domineeringly.

Jiannan Road.

Jinguan City.

The leader of the Nanban witches and Gu masters is doing divination.

Facing a tortoise shell and contemplating for a long time, he pulled away from his thoughts.

"It's a bad omen."

He just made a divination, and judging from the appearance of the hexagram, it is indeed a sign of great evil.

This made the leader of the Nanban witches and Gu masters very worried.

"Could it be that the Great Zhou army will move south to recover Jiannan Road in the near future?"

He knew that this possibility was not impossible, but very high.

Although the current national strength of Da Zhou is far from what it was when the country was first established, the lean camels are bigger than horses, which is not comparable to that of a mere tribe of 10,000+ people in the Southern Man.

If the Emperor of the Great Zhou really orders mobilization, he will soon be able to gather an army of hundreds of thousands.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of Dazhou troops will go south. Although the Nanman tribe occupies Jianmen Pass and has natural dangers, can they really hold it?

If Jianmen Gate cannot be guarded, then Jinguan City must also be unable to be guarded.

Jianmen Pass is their last chance. Once Jianmen falls, it will only be a matter of time before Jinguan City falls.

As the leader of the Nanman tribe, as a voodoo master, he knows that he has now shouldered the lives of 10,000+ tribesmen.

Should we stick to it to the end, or evacuate to the mountains in the south in time before the Great Zhou army went south?
His one decision may well determine many things in a short period of time.

He had to carefully weigh and analyze the pros and cons.

"Maybe I have to ask the witch god what he means."

The Nanban witches and Gu masters have mastered spiritism and can communicate with ancient witches and gods.

The leader of the Nanban witches and Gu masters believed that at this moment, the witch god would definitely give him guidance.

After a period of long journey, Feng Hao arrived in Liangzhou City.

He was really taken aback when he came under the city gate.

I saw many heads hanging on the city wall of Liangzhou.

Some of these heads have been air-dried, some are half-rotten, and some have visible bones.

Feng Hao resisted the disgusting feeling of wanting to vomit, held his breath and jumped into the city easily.

For practitioners, especially high-level practitioners, there is no need to enter the city through the city gate, which is an insult to their cultivation ability.

After Feng Hao entered the city, he went straight to the other courtyard where Zhao Xun was.

Now not only Zhao Xun is here, but the imperial consolation group headed by Wu Zhenqing also lives in this other courtyard.

It's ridiculous to think about it.

The original purpose of this imperial consolation team was to condolences to the Hexi Army, but who would have thought that it would become the funeral team of King Wei.

Feng Hao shook his head and stepped into the other courtyard.

After revealing his identity and explaining his purpose, Feng Hao was taken directly to Zhao Xun's residence.

Seeing Feng Hao coming, Zhao Xun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "The villainous subordinate Zhao Xun sees Master Feng."

Regardless of Zhao Xun's current status, regardless of his official position, Feng Hao is his leader.It was Feng Hao who brought Zhao Xun to the office of bad people, and it was Feng Hao who kept giving Zhao Xun opportunities, trusting him and cultivating him.

He never forgets the person who dug the well, Zhao Xun is not an ungrateful person, so he will always be the subordinate who obeys orders in front of Feng Hao.

"I've heard all about you. Your Majesty called me this time to investigate this matter."

Feng Hao looked around to confirm that no one was eavesdropping, then lowered his voice and said, "Did King Wei really rebel?"

"Of course, this subordinate was convinced of this only after seeing the Allied forces from the Western Regions attacking the city of Liangzhou with their own eyes."

Zhao Xun paused and said: "At that time, the Allied Army of the Western Regions was mixed with the Liangzhou Army. I was among them, and you were among them. They were inseparable, and even camped together."

Seeing what Zhao Xun said was decisive, Feng Hao nodded and said, "Do you have enough evidence? Personal evidence."

Beheading a vassal is not a trivial matter anyway.

If there is not enough evidence to prove that King Wei was indeed the first to conspire and treason, Zhao Xun will be killed.

"Yes, there are some certifications among the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, and the brothers and sisters of the academy can also testify. I also have a handwritten letter from King Wei to the commander of the Western Regions Allied Forces and Yan Woer, stamped with King Wei's Great seal."

Zhao Xun has always been impeccable in everything he does, this time he was even more careful to the extreme.

Hearing this, Feng Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's all. Where is His Royal Highness King Wei's body?"

"The corpse has been put into the coffin, and the head is still hanging on the top of the city."

Zhao Xun said truthfully.

"Bullshit!"

Feng Hao laughed angrily when he heard this: "Quickly take off King Wei's head and put it together with the body and send it back to Chang'an. Even if King Wei rebels, he is still a vassal king, and even if he is removed from the clan list, he is only The decision can only be made by His Majesty. Killing people is nothing more than nodding, since the king of Wei has subdued the law, you don't have to be unforgiving."

In the final analysis, Dazhou was still an era of rule by one man, and Zhao Xun also knew that what he could do was already the limit.

In case Emperor Xianlong really started biting like a mad dog like a mad dog, it was not what Zhao Xun wanted to see.

"Okay, this subordinate will order someone to do it."

In fact, Zhao Xun did some processing on Wei Wang's head.

For the general beheaded officers, Zhao Xun directly ordered people to hang their heads on the city wall.

As for King Wei's head, Zhao Xun ordered people to do some anti-corrosion treatment on it, and then smeared some quicklime on it to ensure that the head would not corrode.

He had already expected that Emperor Xianlong would order someone to send King Wei's body and head back to Chang'an, so he did so specially.

As the saying goes, you need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die.

Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who is not a son of man, will definitely not give up if he does not see the head of King Wei.

Feng Hao, as the investigator of Wei Wang's treason case, must preserve as much evidence as possible, and finally submit it to Emperor Xianlong.

Zhao Xun will not ask too much for this, after all, he also knows that Feng Hao is very embarrassed in this case.

Although Feng Hao intends to protect him, it's not easy to do it too clearly.

After putting King Wei's body and head in the coffin, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

When people die and the lights go out, this matter can be regarded as settled.

Since it was Feng Hao who came to investigate the details, it proved that Emperor Xianlong would not target Zhao Xun too much.As long as there are no further troubles, this matter should be able to turn over.

To this day, Zhao Xun finally let out a breath of anger, that Emperor Xianlong and his son have bullied others too much.

King Wei's head was regarded as a warning to Emperor Xianlong, telling him not to be too arrogant in the future, otherwise he would end up no different from King Wei.

Zhao Xun is the best at settling accounts after autumn, no matter whether you are the king of heaven or the god of land, you can't run away when it's time to settle.

Holding the rein of the horse with one hand, Yanwall looked at the sand dunes not far away with a very serious expression.

Since the incident in Liangzhou, he decided to part ways with the leaderless Liangzhou army.

If the coalition forces of the Western Regions want to return to the Western Regions, they must first go west along the Hexi Corridor.

Only by passing through Guazhou and Shazhou can they finally leave the customs and return to the Western Regions.

In this way, it will inevitably conflict with the Shazhou Army and the Anxi Army.

This is what He Yanwall doesn't want to see right now.

Because in his opinion, the current western allied forces have lost their morale.

How can an army without morale and heart talk about fighting?
Victory can cover up many things and dilute conflicts, but once you lose, conflicts will follow.

It's not too obvious right now, but once this army is blocked by the Anxi Army and the Shazhou Army, the conflict will completely erupt.

Therefore, He Yanwoer must carefully lead this army to evacuate, avoiding the ambushes of Anxi Army and Shazhou Army as much as possible.

Only when he successfully brought this coalition army back to the Western Regions and recuperated for a period of time can the conflict be completely eased.

Otherwise, he will become a sinner in the Western Regions, and even be thrown out as a scapegoat.

He Yanwool knows what happens to a person who commits public anger.

In fact, there is not much difference between humans and beasts in essence. They both seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and both push the responsibility on others.

It's just that sometimes people express more grandly.

"We're almost at the border of the sandbar."

He Yanwall looked at the vast desert with extremely complicated emotions.

Water shortage is the biggest problem they are facing now.

If they cannot find the water source in a short time, then they will face very embarrassing and very real problems.

The lack of water in the desert is more terrible than the lack of food.

When people are extremely dehydrated, they will collapse and even experience hallucinations.

In this case, he even regards the robe beside him as an enemy.

And Yeon-wol knows it can't go on like this.

He sent hundreds of people to investigate the water source, and he must find a result as soon as possible.

"Report to the Chief Protector that we found traces of the rebels from the Western Regions two hundred miles away from Shazhou City."

In Shazhou City, one of Liu Lin's personal soldiers knelt on one knee, fisted with both hands to report.

"Okay, that's really great!"

Not to mention how excited Liu Lin was when he heard the news.

He has always wanted to avenge the rebels in the Western Regions.

It was the sudden defection of the rebels in the Western Regions that forced them to withdraw from the Anxi Protectorate and came to Shazhou.

It was precisely because of the collusion between the Western Region rebels and Liangzhou rebels that a raging fire ignited in Shazhou City overnight.

If they hadn't reacted in time to expel the rebels, Shazhou City would have fallen into the enemy's army by now.

It can be said that Liu Lin and the Anxi Army suffered a lot in the hands of the rebels in the Western Regions.

Liu Lin wanted revenge, and wanted to give the rebels in the Western Regions a taste of being tricked.

Blood debts are paid in blood, and debts must be paid.

This is Liu Lin's principle of doing things.

"Proceed with the order, the whole army will attack, we will ambush them along the line, this time we must not let these Western Regions goofballs go away again."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers immediately clasped their fists to receive orders.

The execution ability of the Anxi army is still quite high, and it was assembled immediately after Liu Lin's order.

Liu Lin made it clear in his oath that this time they would let the Western Region rebels return what they got from them with interest.

So they must take the initiative to go out of the city to ambush.

In this way, they will take the initiative, and even if the Western Region rebels want to take a detour, they will be able to respond immediately.

"This general has already told the commander of the Shazhou Army that they will be stationed in Shazhou City. In this way, even if the situation changes, they can make targeted arrangements according to the specific situation."

After a short pause, Liu Lin continued: "Everyone is a man of flesh and blood, and they all understand the principle of knowing shame before being brave. There is not a single coward in our Anxi Army. Those Western Region rebels took advantage of the danger and took away the Anxi Governor's Mansion. The glory, shall we take it back!"

"want!"

"want!"

"want!"

"The rebels in the Western Regions are exhausted, and they are at the end of their strength. What we need to do now is to give them a fatal blow."

"Kill kill kill!"

"Revenge, we want revenge!"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"Kill them for revenge!"

"It's time to show the true strength of the Anxi Army!"

"This time, we must give them some color and tell them to see who is the real overlord of the Western Regions!"

"We all listen to the chief protector, and the chief protector can just tell you. The brothers will definitely obey the order."

"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, if you give an order, the brothers dare not refuse!"

"Brothers are waiting for your order!"

Liu Lin was very excited when he saw the enthusiasm of the crowd.

"Okay, the brothers are all good, you are worthy of being the hot-blooded men of our Anxi Army."

He pressed down with both hands, signaling to all the soldiers to stay calm.

When the soldiers calmed down, Liu Linfang cleared his throat and said, "We will set off immediately and go to ambush outside Shazhou City. This time we will take back all the lost things!"

A sandstorm suddenly broke out in the desert, which was really not good news for the Allied Forces of the Western Regions.

Because they know very well what it means for a sandstorm to break out in the vast desert.

They don't have any shelter to hide from, and the sandstorm can completely submerge them.

"Quickly, quickly surround the horses and camels into a wall and hide inside the wall."

And Yanwall ordered almost hoarsely.

He knew it was the only way to fight the sandstorm.

Although it is still inevitable that someone will be swept away, the loss can be minimized.

Although the Allied Forces of the Western Regions have problems with the mentality of all parties at this moment, they also know that there is no need to vent their anger at the time of life and death.

What Yanwall said is indeed the most suitable choice at the moment.

They follow orders to minimize losses.

Soon, an army of 10,000+ surrounded all the horses and camels they could use.

Everyone got into the space surrounded by these horses and camels to avoid the wind and sand.

The sandstorm was raging, and the sky was almost full of dust, making it impossible to see anything at all.

These soldiers from the Western Regions huddled together and reported to the regiment to keep warm.

Even He Yanwall himself felt the fear.

This is a fear from the heart, a fear that comes from the depths of the soul.

Because he knew very well that if the sandstorm continued like this, it would only take half a day to swallow them all up.

"God, please bless us, don't punish us in this way."

He Yanwool prayed silently in his heart, praying that God could hear his voice.

But he couldn't hear God's response, all he could hear was the rustling sound.

I don't know how long time passed, but the sandstorm finally weakened.

He Yanwall looked up at the sky, and found that he could see the sky through the misty color.

call.

And Yeon-wol breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not easy, it's really not easy.

Although the entire army was almost buried by the sandstorm, the formation they formed saved their lives well.

Digging out of the pile of sand with difficulty, the Allied Army of the Western Regions knelt down on the sand dunes and kowtowed towards the west in the most primitive way.

In their view, the reason they narrowly escaped death this time was because of God's protection and protection.

So they are thanking God for His protection.

"Ahem, order to count the number of people, the number of horses and camels. See how much dry food and water are left."

After escaping, He Yanwoer knew that the most important thing now was to count the losses and existing supplies.

Only after figuring this out can he decide what to do next.

Continuing to bet blindly is not a good choice.

For them, only after walking out of the Gobi Desert can they return to the Western Regions.

If you keep going around in this vast and endless desert, you will have no future.

But the situation seems to be a little different from what he expected.

The long-term misjudgment caused his personal prestige to decline to a great extent.

Almost all coalition clans began to question his decision.

"It's really too much, it's really too much!"

He and Yanwoer are about to be blown up.

He couldn't believe it, these soldiers dared not listen to him.

It must be the officers of those tribes secretly instigating!

"Everyone listen to me. This time is not the time to get emotional and split. If we want to get out of this big desert, we must be of one mind. If everyone has their own ideas, it is impossible to get out of this big desert .”

He Yeon-wol tries to calm down his emotions.

If he gets pissed too, it's really all over.

He had to keep as calm as possible.

"We have been following you, but what happened. At first you suggested that we pursue the Anxi army, and we chased them all the way to the sandbar. They hid in the city, and you told us to stay around the city. We listened to you foolishly. But the result? I waited foolishly for more than half a month. Finally, a Liangzhou army came. You reached an agreement with the leader of the Liangzhou army. It’s not a failure.”

"Yeah, Shazhou City couldn't be taken down. At that time, everyone suggested returning to the Western Regions, but you still insisted on going your own way and insisted on going to Liangzhou with those Liangzhou troops. At that time, you didn't know what you were thinking. Chang'an? Do you know how far Chang'an is from here? Even if we do reach the outside of Chang'an, we are already at the end of our battle. By then, do you think we still have the strength to fight?"

"That's right. It is said that Chang'an was besieged by the barbarians from the north and the south. Even Wei Wuji, the Great Swordsman of Dongyue Jiange, entered the arena in person. But what happened? Under the siege of so many people, Chang'an City is still impenetrable. Why do you think we Will you be able to take Chang'an City?"

"You are too conceited and self-willed. As a commander, you only believe in your own judgment, and don't take everyone's opinions into consideration. We gave you so many suggestions, but in the end, you didn't take even one of them. one of the

"Everyone originally expelled the Anxi Army, so they could eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the Western Regions, but after believing in your evil, they decided to come to this kind of place to eat dirt."

He Yanwall is completely numb now.He would never have thought that these soldiers would say so much after he only said one sentence.

He seemed to have poked a hornet's nest, and it got out of hand.

"Forget it, since that's the case, we don't need to talk nonsense with him anymore. He is only thinking about how to make meritorious deeds, and never puts everyone's interests at heart. In that case, we might as well break up."

"That's right, it's a two-shot, so let's divide it up. Let's go back to our respective homes."

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions was originally a temporary patchwork of troops from 36 countries.

The reason why they were able to form a coalition at the beginning was because they shared common interests.

But now the situation is completely different.

The coalition forces of the Western Regions are facing a desperate situation, with little hope in sight.

At this time, cracks appeared in the already loose alliance.

Some people can share adversity, but some people can only share wealth.

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions belonged to the latter.

Faced with this situation, He Yanwall didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

If he had been in the past, he would definitely have acted extremely strong, ordering the arrest of the soldiers who took the lead and punishing them by military law as a warning to others.

But now, the situation is close to getting out of control, and if he shows strength again, it will definitely arouse public outrage.

At that time, let alone these personal soldiers, even giving him a few thousand more people would not be able to control the situation.Angry soldiers would surely tear his hands apart.

"You guys, what are you going to do!"

Heyan Wall couldn't believe that he would have the day when he would betray his relatives.

But at least for now, that's the truth.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions are a loose alliance of interests.

They came together because of their interests, and naturally they may also disperse because of their interests.

That day, at least for now, seems to have come.

"Don't spend too much time talking with him here, it's meaningless."

"That's right, we have been separated from each other since then. You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge. We have nothing to do with each other."

"Correct!"

Heyan Wall's lungs are about to explode, but he also knows that there is no better solution now.

He has nothing to tie these guys down.In the past, it relied on Xu Yizhongli.Now that there is no interest, these guys naturally have no reason to follow him.

"Think about it clearly. This is in the vast Gobi Desert. If we get separated, it will be very dangerous. Not only is there a sandstorm, but what if the Shazhou Army and the Anxi Army come out again? Have you ever thought about this? Question?"

"Don't bluff people here. Shazhou Army, Anxi Army? How far are they from us? Besides, we still walk around Shazhou City. Could it be that they have something wrong with them? They don't stay in the city, they just run Go out into the desert and eat sand. Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

Heyan Wall was choked and speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to pick up.

He could only watch helplessly as the various parts of the Western Regions dispersed.

In the end, the half that goes, the half that stays.

In the end, there were only 10,000 or 8 coalition troops left in the [-]+ coalition army.

Although he felt very sad, He Yanwoer knew that he had to calm down and be strong now.

These 8 to [-] people are still counting on him. He must cheer up and take these people out of the desert and back to the Western Regions.

"No one can stop people from the Western Regions from wanting to go home. No one!"

Under the leadership of Liu Lin, the Anxi army arrived at the edge of the desert in time to ambush the army of the Western Regions.

To Liu Lin's surprise, it seems that there are not as many troops in the Western Regions as they imagined.

"General Protector, from the appearance of the enemy army, there should be only tens of thousands of people. This doesn't seem like a scale of 10,000+."

"Indeed, could it be that there is fraud in it?"

Liu Lin's experience in commanding troops is very rich. According to his judgment, the opponent's military strength is as high as 8 to 10,000.At the beginning, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions had [-]+ people.

Even if there is moisture in it, it is impossible to cut it in half.

This shows that either there was an accident during the process of going to Liangzhou or returning to Shazhou, and the Western Regions coalition forces collapsed, or they fought a big battle and suffered losses.

No matter what the situation is, it is good news for Liu Lin.

The Anxi Army was originally at a disadvantage compared to the Allied Forces in the Western Regions.

Now the difference in strength between the two sides is not that big.

Whichever way you look at it, it's excellent.

As long as the Anxi army can take advantage of its unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack, the possibility of success will be extremely high.

"General Protector, just give your order, the brothers must tear this gang of bastards into pieces."

"That's right, Chief Protector, as long as you give the order, we'll cut these bastards into pieces."

What the Anxi army hates most is the traitor.The coalition forces of the Western Regions stabbed him in the back, and they will remember this hatred for a lifetime.

Heyan Wall felt like he was going to pass out.

The hot, poisonous sun hangs high above it, roasting people like a piece of fat, continuously producing oil.

Heyan Wall obviously felt that his back was soaked, and his front was also soaked in sweat, and his whole body was stuck. This sticky feeling was not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Heyan Wall felt like he was suffering from heat stroke.

The long-term lack of water and the scorching sun made him even hallucinate for a while.

It was as if he could see the Great Zhou army in the vast desert.He seemed to be able to see the flag of Anxi Army.

This is how the same thing?

How could the good Anxi army appear in the desert?

This is impossible, this must be his hallucination.

This is impossible!

He Yanwall kept giving himself psychological hints.

"General be careful!"

At this moment, the shout of the guards made He Yanwoer react.

He saw an arrow shot towards his face.

Heyan Wall quickly lay down on his body, lying on the horse's back, and will avoid the blow.

This arrow is very powerful, if it is shot, Heyan Wall will definitely die.

Fortunately, he dodged in time.

Before Heyan Wall could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a rain of arrows raining down on them.

Heyan Wall took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Hide, hide, hide."

Sand dunes in the desert are natural shelters.

As long as they hide behind the sand dunes for the first time, they can avoid most of the arrows.

Apparently they were ambushed.

Most of the people who can ambush them here are the Anxi army.

It is impossible for a horse thief to have such a large scale, nor can it have so many arrows.

Although the scene was a little flustered for a while, Heyan Wall was very experienced after all, so he responded immediately.

The soldiers naturally obeyed.

Those who disobeyed orders and disobeyed discipline have long since parted ways with Heyanwall.Those who are willing to stay are obedient to Heyan Wal-Mart.

Even if there are occasional dissatisfaction, in order to survive, they can only follow the crowd.

The arrows of Da Zhou's army are like waves, wave after wave.

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions felt overwhelmed and out of breath.

He Yanwoer secretly cursed in his heart, the Anxi army really knows how to choose the time.

It happened that they came to ambush after the Allied Forces of the Western Regions split.

Now is the time when Heyanwall's strength is weakest.

At this time, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions had almost no power to fight back.

"Be patient, don't show up at this time."

Heyan Wall emphasized again and again.

In his view, now is the time of life and death, and he must not be rash.

At this time, a single carelessness may ruin the entire army.

"charge!"

Seeing that the rebels in the Western Regions had been completely suppressed by the Anxi Army's firepower, Liu Lin chose to order an attack.

"As ordered!"

The Anxi army had been holding back all their energy for a long time, and at this moment they began to charge with all their might.

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions now have a terrain advantage, but they are at a disadvantage in terms of morale.

"Hold it, fight back!"

Seeing that Anxi's army dared to charge at this time, He Yanwoer was secretly surprised.

What are you waiting for if you don't shoot at this time?
A wave of arrows raining down will definitely make people feel chilled.

Heyan Wall knows very well that now is the best time for him to stop Anxi's army. If he can't cause heavy damage to Anxi's army at this time, then the next step will be difficult.

The charge speed of the Anxi Army obviously exceeded the expectations of the Hu people in the Western Regions.

Their charging speed was as fast as lightning, and they rushed to the sand dunes in a flash.

And they are all wearing Mingguang armor.This kind of armor can be said to have the best coverage in the armor of the Zhou army.

It is impossible for ordinary arrows to penetrate the transparent light armor, so naturally they cannot hurt them at all.

It is precisely because of the protection of the bright light armor that the Anxi army can charge without any scruples.

They all hold a sigh of relief in their hearts to prove themselves and wash away their humiliation.

Being bullied by the bullies of the Western Regions, if they don't avenge their revenge, their life in this world will be in vain.

The Anxi Army headed by Pikemen and Modaoshou launched the first wave of charge, and the rest of the soldiers followed behind them.

The Hu people in the Western Regions have never seen such a battle.These guys are simply dying.

When did the Anxi army become so brave?

Omg.

The horizontal is afraid of death.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement.

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions are bullying and afraid of the strong. Facing the Anxi Army, which is stronger than them, they retreat subconsciously.

"Help, help!"

In the camp, an unknown Hu soldier from the Western Regions yelled first, and then the rest of the soldiers scattered one after another.

Seeing this, Heyan Wall was furious.

If you are timid before fighting, how can you fight this battle?
"The military law team will step forward, and if anyone dares to escape, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Kill kill kill!"

Under the strict order of Heyan Wall, the military law team immediately beheaded more than a dozen people.

The bright red blood splashed on the yellow sand, instantly dyeing the yellow sand red.

This scene is naturally shocking.

Those soldiers who were still trying to escape were immediately frightened and dared not move.

Although they wanted to escape for their lives, they still hesitated in the face of the butcher's knife of the military law team.

There is still a glimmer of life in a shopping battle with the Anxi Army, but if you retreat, you will undoubtedly die.

So they would rather choose to go up and do some shopping with Anxi Army.

"Fight them!"

"Yes, the brothers fought with them."

"Kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair!"

At the time of life and death, almost everyone used all their strength.

For them, if they want to survive death, they have to forget their fear for a while.

Only then will they have a glimmer of hope.

Heyan Wall can see the commander-in-chief of Anxi Army.

Under the banner of Shuai, it should belong to his old enemy Liu Lin.

He knows Liu Lin and Yan Wall very well.

As the chief protector of Anxi, Liu Lin has been in charge of the military power of the Anxi army for seven years.

In seven years, Liu Lin has done many things.Such as garrisoning fields, such as recruiting soldiers, such as building garrisons.

It was under his rule that the Anxi Army became stronger and stronger, and it was also under his rule that the Silk Road, which had been interrupted for many years, became unimpeded again.

But this is definitely not good news for Heyan Wall.

Because the stronger the Anxi Army, the more difficult life will be for the countries in the Western Regions.

Therefore, Heyan Wall has been looking for opportunities to stop Anxi's army, intending to cause serious damage.

But he never found the right opportunity.

Until the turmoil in the Central Plains, Chang'an was in danger.

Seeing the opportunity, He Yanwoer organized the 36 countries in the Western Regions to launch a surprise attack, forcing the Anxi Army to withdraw from the Western Regions.

I thought this would be a very important turning point between the two parties, who would have thought that it would only change for a short moment.

It didn't take long for the Anxi Army to move the situation back.

However, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions had just split, and the Anxi Army was waiting for work.

Between the ebb and flow, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is completely different.

But even in this case, Heyan Wall still had to bite the bullet and fight.

Otherwise, what to do?

Do you wash your neck and wait to die?
"If you don't want to be cut off by the Anxi army, you should use your strength. If you don't want to be slaughtered by them like pigs and dogs, you should work hard for me!"

Heyan Wall knows exactly what it means to lose at this time.

The Anxi army will not have any mercy on them, nor will they leave prisoners to eat their food.

Whenever they are defeated, all that awaits them is death.

The Anxi army will cut off their heads and build them up to form Jingguan.

I don't want to lose my life, so I have to fight to the death.

"Fight them!"

"Fight with them!"

The more difficult the time is, the more people's desire to survive can burst out.

For these allied forces in the Western Regions, now is the most difficult moment.

They knew very well that they had to work hard now.

"Fight them!"

Seeing that the soldiers of the Anxi Army rushed to the front, hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. All the soldiers had already shown their scimitars and rushed into a group with the soldiers of the Anxi Army.

Hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand bloody battles.

The most important test at this time is courage.

Whoever has more courage will be able to take the absolute initiative in the battle.

The stronger side can overwhelm the opponent at the beginning, and the advantage will be maintained throughout the combat cycle.

No one wants to vent this breath first.

So they all tried their best.

Heyan Wall and Liu Lin observed the changes and development of the battle situation from a distance.

In their view, the current situation is not as chaotic as it appears.

Although the soldiers scuffled together, they were clearly distinct.

The robes will also take care of each other to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

They can give their backs to Paoze without any scruples, because of trust.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army trust the Pao Ze the most.

Getting along for a long time makes them familiar with every habit of their partners.

Even a subtle expression can make them understand in seconds.

"Kill Zahu!"

"Fight them!"

"Kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair!"

"Kill kill kill!"

The Hu soldiers in the Western Regions were obviously gutted after being killed in a short period of time.

The three axes of the Anxi army stunned them.

Once the formation is dispersed, it will be difficult for the next ones to gather in a short time.

The Anxi army faced a broken army.

Dividing the battlefield is their forte.

As long as the opponent's army is divided, then they will enter the stage where they are best at and most familiar with.

The impact of Anxi's army was fully reflected at this moment, and no one could survive their charge for a long time.

Sure enough, as Liu Lin expected, after a wave of charges by the Anxi Army, the Allied Forces in the Western Regions began to collapse on a large scale.

They began to scatter for their lives.

Even Heyan Wall's military law team wielding a broadsword could not stop this collapse.

The Anxi Army is terrifying, and their combat power is unbelievably strong.

In this case, it is impossible for mortals with flesh and blood to stop, and only the dead can be fearless.

...

...

There is almost no suspense in this battle.

The fighting spirit and determination shown by the Anxi Army are not comparable to those of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions.

Not to mention that one of the two parties is waiting for work at leisure, and the other is exhausted.

The same cannot be said about the desire to fight.

Under Liu Lin's command, the Anxi Army quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

Except for a few Hu soldiers from the Western Regions who got into the desert in a panic, almost all the Hu soldiers were beheaded.

This is tantamount to a major breakthrough for the Anxi Army.

They completely erased the knots in their hearts and completely defeated themselves.

Since then, they will not have any fear of the Hu people in the Western Regions.

After the war, Liu Lin ordered the heads of these Hu soldiers from the Western Regions to be cut off and brought back to Shazhou City.

According to the regulations of the Da Zhou army, military merit is calculated according to the number of heads.The more heads that beheaded the enemy, the more military merits they would accumulate.

The beheading of tens of thousands of Hu soldiers in the Western Regions by the soldiers of the Anxi Army can be called a veritable victory.

There are enough heads for all of them.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

It is another matter to be knighted or not, but at least you can get real money rewards.

These are very important to them.

The big guy put his head on the waistband of his trousers and tried his best, isn't what he is trying to picture is a wife and a son?
They must tell their families the good news if they have the chance.

...

...

Liangzhou City.

After a period of investigation and evidence collection, Feng Hao has confirmed that Zhao Xun's life is safe.

Both personal and physical evidence are very rich, which is enough to prove that when Zhao Xun killed King Wei, King Wei had already colluded with the Hu tribe in the Western Regions to rebel, and threatened to fight in Chang'an to become emperor.

King Wei was charged with such a crime, so there would be no problem for Zhao Xun to kill him.

If Emperor Xianlong wanted to punish Zhao Xun for his crime, it would be tantamount to admitting that King Wei's rebellion was legal.

This is absolutely impossible.

Of course, the specific operation process needs to be optimized again to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

After everything is arranged properly, Zhao Xun can return to Chang'an.

...

...

Zhao Xun wrote a letter and asked his mentor Qinglian to escort his whole family to Zhongnan Mountain for a short stay.

The Zhao family had a different business in Zhongnan Mountain, but they came here not for entertainment, but for refuge.

Although Zhao Xun knew that 90.00% of Emperor Xianlong would not act foolishly, what if Emperor Xianlong did something stupid and really did that one percent?
It is safest to plan for a rainy day.

As for the mountain leader, Zhao Xun also wrote a letter to say hello.

Although Haoran Academy is generally not open to the worldly people, there are exceptions to everything.

Emperor Xianlong is not a son of man, the head of the mountain knows it.

Zhao Xun also knew about beheading the head of Wei Wangshan.

When the two are connected together, the head of the mountain naturally understands his good intentions.

As long as the family members live in Haoran College, the situation will be very optimistic.

It is impossible for Emperor Xianlong to send someone to the academy to arrest him, right?

The head of the mountain had no choice but to beat Emperor Xianlong into a pig's head.

With the skill of the head of the mountain, getting in and out of the palace is as easy as eating and drinking.

Palace ban?

The head of the mountain didn't pay attention at all.

As long as Emperor Xianlong felt a bit forced, he should not touch the taboos of the academy, and he should not touch the bottom line of the head of the mountain.

Otherwise, the head of the mountain will let him know who is the real master of Da Zhou.

After preparing all the matters, Zhao Xun was ready to return to Chang'an.

Originally, Zhao Xun wanted to go to the sandbar, but with such a big change, he had to give up for now.

Not to mention, after being away for so long, Zhao Xun was really homesick.

Thinking of his sister's cute little face, Zhao Xun felt healed all over.

...

...

Chang'an, Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Cheng Guogong looked at his wife packing up the big and small bags, and sighed: "Take less, we just went to Zhongnan Mountain for a short stay, and it's not like we won't be back. Is it necessary to take so many things?"

"My lord, God knows how long we'll be here this time. You say that this Xun'er is true. Regardless of whether King Wei rebelled against the country or treason, it should be handed over to His Majesty for adjudication. How could he make it his own? He was killed. It's good now, our whole family has to hide."

"Hey, please don't say a few words. If you are not there, you don't know Xun'er's situation. Xun'er has grown a lot this year and is no longer the stunned young man she was back then. I think Xun'er must have his fault for doing this. reason."

"You..."

"By the way, why hasn't Danshu come yet?"

"I'll go and see, maybe I'll sleep in the cage again."

"What time is it, call her quickly!"

After about a stick of incense, more than a hundred members of the Zhao family gathered in the garden.

Daoist Qinglian Wu Quanyi glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Is everything here?"

"Well. It's all here."

As the head of the family, of course Duke Cheng Zhao Yuan had to stand up at this time.

For him, now is the moment of life and death for the Zhao family, and there is no room for carelessness.

"Okay, then I'm going to use the teleportation array."

Daoist Qinglian worried that if he went out of the city in a carriage, he would be stuck by the soldiers defending the city.

Normally, naturally no bold soldier would dare to become the Duke's family.

But who told Zhao Xun to offend Tianwei now?

Before the dust of the case was settled, Daoist Qinglian was not sure what kind of demon Emperor Xianlong would be.

The safest way is to transfer Zhao Xun's family to Zhongnan Mountain through the teleportation array.

The transfers were too slow one by one, so Wu Quanyi would draw a large enough teleportation array to send all the Zhao family away in one go.

Of course, this is not easy. With so much qi consumed in a short period of time, Daoist Qinglian will be in a weak state for half a year.

But Taoist Qinglian has no regrets.

Who said this is Zhao Xun, a good apprentice who is helping him.

This is his heart and soul.

"Cheng Guogong, the moment you see the aperture, you all walk in in order."

Zhao Yuan nodded: "I'm sorry."

Wu Quanyi saw that he had explained everything properly, so he nodded: "Okay, let's start."

I saw him start to recite the mantra in a deep voice.

As the formula sounded, a halo appeared in front of Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still took a step.

The moment his feet stepped into the aperture, his body disappeared.

Then the rest of the Zhao family stepped into the aperture in an orderly manner according to the pre-arranged order.

Wu Quanyi had to keep the aperture in place throughout the process, and he could not cancel the spellcasting until everyone stepped in.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for him.

Because he has never sent a teleportation array to so many people at the same time in a short period of time.

Before Wu Quanyi knew it, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his physical strength was also slowly draining.

In order to maintain his physical strength and keep the teleportation array available, Wu Quanyi had no choice but to force his true energy out of his body.

It was a huge drain, but he had to.

Because everything is for Zhao Xun.

...

...

When Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a paradise.

There are beautiful mountains and green waters here, and there are large bamboo forests.

In a trance, Zhao Yuan thought he was in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

I saw a handsome man with a flute in his hand walking towards him, and when he got close, he took the initiative to salute and said: "I think you are Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan, right?"

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I, Yao Yan, is a good friend of the head of the mountain and a close friend of your son."

"Well, the original Mr. Yao."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I often hear Xun'er mentioning you."

"really?"

Yao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said very proudly, "What does your son say about me?"

"Uh, I just mentioned one or two things, I can't remember exactly what it is."

Zhao Yuan spread his hands and said truthfully.

"Uh…"

This time the scene was a little awkward.

Yao Yan didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only clear his throat to hide his embarrassment.

"Only Cheng Guogong has arrived?"

"No, there are still hundreds of people one after another."

Just as Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he saw the little loli Zhao Danshu bouncing out of the aperture of the teleportation array, like a big white rabbit.

"Wow, Daddy, this place is so beautiful. Are we going to stay here for a while?"

Little Lolita is extremely curious about everything in front of her eyes.

"I didn't expect that the place where my brother studied is here?"

"Uh, you like it here, don't you?"

Zhao Yuan hugged Zhao Danshu in his arms fondly, and said softly: "If you like us, we can stay here for a while."

In the letter Zhao Xun wrote to Zhao Yuan, he clearly told Zhao Yuan to stay in Zhongnanshan Haoran Academy for as long as possible.

Right now, only the Academy is an absolutely safe place.

As long as you stay in the academy, you can guarantee that you will not have to worry about your life.

Zhao Xun said in the letter that he could bear it if he could, and he must not mess up his position because of some trivial matters.

Wait until he returns to Chang'an to make a long-term plan.

Zhao Yuan deeply agrees with this.

Zhao Yuan knew the character of Emperor Xianlong very well.

This His Majesty's mind is smaller than the nose of a needle, so he can't suffer at all.

Now that his son was killed by Zhao Xun, he must be very upset.

Although Emperor Xianlong may not say it on his lips, but secretly it may not cause any stumbling blocks.

Temporary avoidance is the most appropriate choice at the moment.

Zhao Yuan didn't know how long they were going to stay in Zhongnan Mountain.

But as long as Zhao Xun doesn't come back for a day, they won't return to Chang'an City for a day.

Hundreds of members of the Zhao family came to Haoran Academy in Zhongnan Mountain through the teleportation array one after another.

When they first entered the academy, their expressions were exactly the same as those of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Danshu.

In their view, this is like a peach blossom garden.

Seeing that Wu Quanyi finally came out of the circle of light, Yao Yan stepped forward and waved his hands to say hello, "Don't worry, Taoist Master Qinglian."

"It's Mr. Yao, Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal. Long time no see."

Most of these top practitioners in Chang'an City know each other.Not to mention that Daoist Qinglian and Yao Yan once fought side by side in Jiangnan Dao, and their friendship was extraordinary.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the two of them had a fateful friendship.

Of course, all this is because of Zhao Xun.

If it weren't for Zhao Xun, their relationship wouldn't be so good.

"The head of the mountain should know all about it, right?"

"Of course, Zhao Xun has already written to the head of the mountain."

Conversations between smart people are so simple, relaxed and enjoyable.

Soon Yao Yan led a group of people to the inner mountain of the academy.

The academy occupies an entire col of Zhongnan Mountain.

Among them, there are outer mountains and inner mountains.

The outer mountain is mainly inhabited by three thousand outer disciples recruited by the head of the mountain.

There are 72 disciples living in the inner mountain.

Due to the special status of Zhao Yuan's family and this special moment, it is naturally not suitable to arrange them in the outer mountains, so Yao Yan took them directly to the inner mountains.

Compared with the outer mountains, the scenery of the inner mountains is obviously more beautiful.

Zhao Yuan's family was dumbfounded.

Especially the little loli Zhao Danshu, who was dumbfounded.

"Daddy, I want to live here for the rest of my life. Tell Brother Xun to come and live here too!"

Zhao Yuan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Uh, good, good."

Apart from accepting it first, Zhao Yuan couldn't think of any other way.

"Xun'er, you have to come back quickly, our family must meet and get together safely."

...

...

This was the first time Zhao Yuan saw the head of the mountain, and the image of the head of the mountain was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Originally, Zhao Yuan thought that the head of the mountain should be an old man with a sense of demeanor, but now it seems that the head of the mountain is at most fifty.

"Since Cheng Guogong has arrived at the academy, he can stay at ease. I can guarantee that no one will dare to come to the academy to disturb you."

Shan Chang said confidently with one hand behind his back.

The reason why Shan Zhang is so confident is naturally because of his amazing strength.

In this world, there has never been a practitioner whose strength is higher than that of the mountain leader.

In other words, the head of the mountain is an invincible existence in the world.

"Thank you, Shan Zhang. Zhao Xun should be back soon, right?"

The world says that the mountain chief is like a god.

So Zhao Yuan also wanted to take this opportunity to ask his son about his itinerary and see where he was.

"He just set off, it should take some time."

The head of the mountain said lightly: "If he flies on a dragon, the time will be greatly shortened."

Zhao Yuanxin said that the head of the mountain seems to be very indifferent, which is in line with his image of an outsider.

"You are all tired, go rest first."

Zhao Yuan knew that the head of the mountain meant to see off the guests, so he nodded tactfully and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, the head of the mountain, I will come to ask for advice another day."

...

...

The place where Zhao Yuan's family lives is all bamboo buildings.

Compared with the Duke's Mansion, this is somewhat crude.

But it is enough to be used as a shelter.

In times of crisis, Zhao Yuan and the others naturally wouldn't pick and choose, and moved in one after another with soft goods.

It is midsummer now, and the weather is very hot.

But the bamboo building in the shade of the bamboo forest can't feel the heat at all.

It's rare for Zhao Yuan to be able to spend time with his family, and he just thinks this feeling is very novel.

It seems that at this moment he is no longer Cheng Guogong, but a father who loves his daughter.

"Daddy, I want the wind, the wind should be stronger."

Zhao Danshu enjoyed the process very much, and Zhao Yuan dotingly fanned her daughter vigorously with the round fan.

The years are quiet, how good would it be if it could always be like this?
