That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1177

Back then when Xu Beiyou moved Shuzhou reinforcements into the lake, Lanyu was in Jincheng, and Sun Shaotang, the former army left governor, was in Baidicheng, and Zhao Qing personally led the Shuzhou army to assist the two.After Wei Wuji also led the army into the lake, Sapphire gradually faded out of Liangxiang and handed over the military power to Wei Wuji.

Many people don't know where Zhao Qing is now, as if he disappeared out of thin air.

In fact, he has always been in Liangxiang. After Wei Wuji led the army out of the city, Zhao Qing was in charge of guarding Liangxiang. After Xu Beiyou took office, he left Liangxiang and followed Xu Beiyou.

At this time, Xu Beiyou had already handed over the encyclopedia of command to Wei Wuji, and he and Zhao Qing came to a place less than a hundred miles away from Jiangling City.

It can be said that this is the confidant of Wei Jun, but for the two great monks who are detached from the world, it is a leisurely stroll. Taking a step back, even if Xiao Jin has laid down a large army here, the two really want to force it. It is not impossible to break the formation.

Looking at the world today, which army can stop the combination of a top swordsman and a top martial artist?I'm afraid it will take hundreds of thousands of heavy cavalry to charge desperately.

But even if the heavy cavalry in the whole world adds up, there are not as many as hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, the world is unstoppable.

This is true even for Jiangling Mansion, whose city is high and deep. If the two of them make up their minds and want to attack the city alone, Jiangling can be broken in an instant.

It's just that the two of them don't want to.

Today's Xu Beiyou didn't wear the general's armor specially made for him, but only wore a brocade suit, a high crown on his head, a wide robe with large sleeves, and his skirts fluttered while walking, showing his elegant demeanor. , and there is an ancient sword on his waist, which is very ancient.

Zhao Qing, who was walking beside him, was not so "ostentatious". He was wearing a commoner jacket and a short dress, with the sleeves, neckline, and front of the skirt tightly tied. , rejuvenated a bit, looks like Xu Beiyou, the "son of the family", Chang Sui.

Xu Beiyou stopped in his tracks, looked at Jiangling City, which was already "close at hand", and said slowly, "Jiangling is good. Zhang Jiangling, the first chancellor of Dazheng, was named after this city."

Zhao Qing squinted his eyes, lost in reminiscence, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the year Zhang Jiangling died happened to be the year I was born, that Zhang Shoufu died tragically, when he was alive, Almost as the regent of the current dynasty, hundreds of officials bowed their heads, the emperor was afraid, but when a person died, the emperor ransacked his family and wiped out his family, the eldest son was forced to commit suicide, and a dozen people were starved to death in the mansion. The title of teacher was also deprived, so he only had to open the coffin and slaughter the corpses, and the bones and ashes were scattered. That is to say, Xiao Yu admired Zhang Jiangling, just in time for the change of dynasty. In order to belittle the previous dynasty, he changed his posthumous title to Wenzheng. Empress Ai Rong."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Master Zhao is reminding me not to follow Zhang Jiangling's old path? It shouldn't be like this."

Master Zhao snorted and stopped talking.

Xu Beiyou didn't care too much about this topic, and instead said: "Master Zhao was also a leader in the army back then. I wonder if he still wants to gain a great military exploit today, and even be famous in history, forever?"

Zhao Qing, an old man who is used to strong winds and waves, is not a young man with a vigorous blood. Hearing Xu Beiyou's words, he didn't feel too much excitement. Instead, he was a little more cautious in fear of being calculated, and said carefully: " The old man is old and lacks mental strength, he has nothing else to think about except to seek the Dao of Ascension in his lifetime, so the military merits of the Great General should be left to those young people."

Looking at Zhao Qing, who was not fooled, Xu Beiyou said dumbly: "Master Zhao's words are wrong. Master Zhao can't practice Wufang Emperor Fist without the spirit of the emperor, but the spirit of the emperor can't do without the imperial court. It is precisely because Master Zhao has worked tirelessly all these years Only by guarding the imperial court can we continue to obtain the spirit of the emperor from the imperial court, and today, it is the court's difficult time, so Master Zhao is not willing to help the court to tide over the difficulties?"

Zhao Qing turned his head to look at Xu Beiyou, expressionless.

Xu Beiyou also looked at him with sincerity on his face.

The two were silent for a long time, finally Zhao Qing backed down a step, and said with a straight face: "What orders does the General have, just to put it bluntly, Zhao Qing will do his best."

"Master Zhao is serious." Xu Beiyou waved his hands and said with a smile: "With Master Zhao's ability, it's just a matter of effort."

Zhao Qing narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and asked: "I haven't led troops for a long time, it's fine if I guard a place, but I'm afraid I won't be able to command such a big battle with thousands of troops. Since the old man is neglected in battle, it is better to leave it to Wei Wuji and the younger generations."

Xu Beiyou said with a faint smile: "Achievements on the battlefield don't necessarily need to be planned thousands of miles away in the commander's tent. Wouldn't it be an achievement to kill the general and capture the flag before the battle?"

Zhao Qing's gaze focused, "So, the general wants to let the old man kill someone. I don't know which general he wants the old man to kill? And which flag to capture?"

Xu Beiyou said: "Since we have already arrived outside Jiangling City, the person to be beheaded is naturally Wei Wang Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin has been a confidant of the court for three dynasties. The reason for the chaos in San Francisco this time is that It is entirely because of Xiao Jin's leadership, so if Xiao Jin is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. Even if we put down the San Francisco rebellion this time, maybe there will be four and five feudal rebellions in the future. But if Get rid of Xiao Jin, it will be better than a [-] army, not only will there be no worries, but the current Wei army will collapse in an instant."

Zhao Qing used to work with Xiao Jin, so he naturally knew the significance of Xiao Jin, and knew that what Xu Beiyou said was right, but because of this, he also knew the power of Xiao Jin, who had hidden it all these years and was good at scheming, There are many opponents, Zhao Qingwan does not want to fight Xiao Jin unless it is absolutely necessary, even if his ranking in the list of secrets is higher than Xiao Jin, it is still the case.

Seeing the hesitant look on Zhao Qing's face, Xu Beiyou waved his hands and said with a smile, "Master Zhao is too worried. For such a big matter as beheading Xiao Jin, it is only appropriate for me to do it myself. After all, King Wei is no different than ordinary people, but Zeng It is not surprising that the exiled immortal who is as famous as the post-founding lord Wanyan Beiyue has many mysterious methods, so it is more appropriate for me to do it myself."

Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what does the general want me to do?"

Xu Beiyou pointed to Jiangling City, "Beside Wei Wang Xiaojin, there is a monk from King Kong Temple in Baozhu Kingdom. , Xu wants to ask Master Zhao to take this person down."

Zhao Qing said with a smile after hearing the words: "The old man still wonders who it is. It turned out to be this person. The golden body of Buddhism is not bad for being beaten. It can be used to beat people. It's like scratching an itch. When I meet this person, I guarantee that he will only be beaten." The skill of parrying, without the power to fight back, the general can do whatever he wants without worrying about being disturbed."

Xu Beiyou hummed lightly, then dropped his five fingers one by one, grasping the three-foot hilt at his waist.

Although there are two people, they are approaching the city.
