Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 218

Xu Zhiqiong arrived at Canglong Hall and conveyed Taibu's words to Liang Jixiong.

Liang Jixiong laughed and said, "What an old thief, when will it be his turn to point fingers at me?"

He was dissatisfied, but Liang Jixiong still accepted Tai Bu's suggestion: "I will go to Luzhou alone, you will go with the army, and you should be more careful along the way."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I'll go first from the Yin-Yang Formation, maybe one step earlier than Second Brother."

Liang Jixiong was a little worried: "I'm worried about handing over the army to Yu Shan."

Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "Without you and I who are hated by others, the army is less dangerous."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and after laughing, Xu Zhiqiong did not forget to say: "Second brother, if you fail to arrive in Luzhou safely, all the good boys who set off today will be ruined."

Liang Jixiong said: "I'm about to tell you about this matter, if something happens to me on the way..."

"Don't tell me about this, you can't make mistakes, you have thousands of lives on your back."

……

At dawn, Wang Zhennan put on his sturdy uniform, put on his saber, carried his bag on his back, picked up the lantern, and was ready to go out.

The main wife, Mrs. Liu, pulled Wang Zhennan's sleeve and said with tears in her eyes, "Husband, you who have lost one arm, why are you still on the battlefield?"

Wang Zhennan wiped away tears for Mrs. Liu: "The arm is broken, but the spine isn't broken. How can we Daxuan men bow their heads to Tu Nu's group of hairy ghosts?"

"What are you talking about? I, a woman, can't understand!" Liu said, hugging Wang Zhennan, "I'll find someone before I tell you about the concubine, I'll take care of it first, the girl is handsome, you really are willing Walk?"

Wang Zhennan said: "I'm not here these days, but the things at home have to be taken care of."

"Our family is not short of land or money, why don't you quit this job and live a good life with us!"

Wang Zhennan let out a long sigh, pulled away his wife's arm, and went out silently.

……

Meng Shizhen was fully dressed, drank a bowl of wine, wiped her mouth and said, "I'm leaving!"

Chen Jiu'er helped Meng Shizhen carry his luggage, sighed and said, "I'm not up to my stomach, so why can't I give you a baby!"

"What are you talking about? Having a baby is a concern. If the baby loses a father, I don't know how much pain I will suffer."

Chen Jiu'er laughed and said, "If you die on the battlefield, you must send a letter back."

"Don't worry, you accept the letter and remarry quickly, and don't guard me for a day."

"Why should I guard you? Anyway, this is not the first time my wife has married!"

Meng Shizhen walked out of the alley, and Chen Jiuer stood behind him, watching with a smile on his face, watching Meng Shizhen's back disappear into the morning mist.

Laughing and laughing, tears suddenly fell down.

"My old lady's life is hard, why did I meet such a scumbag like you, I knew it would be better to go back to the peach blossom shed to dance,

If your mother-in-law dies, I will follow you there, and you will never abandon me in your next life! "

……

Liu Pu'an stood at the door of the latrine, holding his saber, and said impatiently: "I said, old horse, you have been squatting for half an hour, you should come out soon."

"It's almost, it's just a little bit, you tell me to work harder, and it will be fine soon!"

"Don't try too hard, even if you pull out your intestines, we have to go when we should!"

……

Tong Qingqiu and Han Chen went out of the Onmyoji Department together, seeing that Han Chen was not in good spirits, Tong Qingqiu said: "Brother, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Han Chen didn't make a sound, he offended Tai Bu yesterday, and was trapped in Tong Qingqiu's room all day and night, and he really didn't sleep well at night.

Tong Qingqiu sighed: "This is also the first time for me to fight a war. I tossed and turned and didn't sleep all night."

Han Chen nodded and said: "I know about tossing and turning. I was in the outhouse last night and heard the two of you tossing and turning. You still ask me if I slept soundly?"

……

Two thousand Wuwei troops, one hundred lantern masters, one hundred Onmyoji divisions, plus more than a thousand horses under the Ministry of War, the group left the capital in a mighty manner.

Chu He saw Wu Shanxing's figure in the team, and stepped forward to joke: "It's not good to look at the city gate, but you ran out to die?"

Wu Shanxing snorted coldly: "Don't worry, grandpa outlives you!"

"I heard that on the battlefield, a human life is worse than an ant."

"If you don't know how to fight, you will die. When you are on the battlefield, follow me closely. I promise you will come back in good shape."

Chu He sneered: "It sounds like you have fought in war!"

Wu Shanxing said with a smile: "It depends on talent, I was born to be able to fight."

Yu Shan walked up to Chu He from the front of the team, and shouted: "During the march, don't whisper!"

Chu He pouted, Wu Shanxing shrugged his eyebrows and remained silent.

Qiao Shun just said from the side: "Say a few words and still not give up? Are you going to kill people this way?"

Yu Shan frowned and said, "The military camp has its own rules!"

"Tell your rules to your sergeant, Lantern Lantern doesn't understand your rules!"

Seeing that the two were arguing, Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to persuade Yu Shan to leave, and walked side by side with Qiao Shungang:

"Brother Qiao, I won't go with the team this time, so try not to conflict with Yu Shan along the way."

Qiao Shun just snorted and said, "Don't worry, I promise not to kill him!"

The team went ten miles out of the city, Yu Guangyuan and his eldest son Yu Ren watched Yu Shan in a small pavilion.

Seeing Yu Shan covered in armor walking through the ranks, Yu Ren's gaze was a bit strange.

Since childhood, he has always looked down on Yu Shan, the eldest son is the eldest son, and his status in the family is not comparable to that of other brothers.

But today, the eyes of all the family members are focused on Yu Shan, and the attention that originally belonged to him was snatched away by Yu Shan.

Especially father.

Yu Guangyuan's eyes were very complicated. He looked at Yu Shan with both reluctance and pride. Tears were in his eyes, but his waist was straight.

Yu Ren felt that he had no sense of existence, so he found a sentence and said: "Father, if I miss Xiaoshan, I will call him here."

Yu Ren was about to go, but was stopped by Yu Guangyuan.

"Don't go, don't disturb his mind, don't disturb his mind, you don't know what war is, you don't know what is the Northern Expedition!" Yu Guangyuan choked up, "My son, I will return in triumph!"

……

The army marched for more than ten miles, and the Onmyoji began to arrange the first magic circle.

This heavy magic circle can allow the army to travel thirty miles quickly, which doesn't seem like much, but if it is accumulated along the way, it can shorten the journey by more than half.

Yu Shan shouted at the crowd: "Stand in line, don't cross the line drawn by the Onmyoji, if someone falls behind, don't chase or drag the others, the Onmyoji will deal with it himself!"

Not long after, the smoke rose, the magic circle took effect, and everyone flew forward with their feet on the ground.

Ma Guangli hated the yin-yang magic circle the most, and felt sick to his stomach when he stepped on it.

"I said can I stop for a while, I'll find a convenient place!"

Meng Shizhen said angrily: "I'll find a plug for you to stop, so as not to embarrass me all the way!"

Xu Zhiqiong glanced at Qiao Shungang, and Qiao Shungang said in a low voice, "Don't worry, let's go."

Xu Zhiqiong pretended to slip on his feet and fell out of the clouds. Chu He shouted: "No! Zhiqiong, then, that Xu Qianhu has fallen behind!"

Qiao Shun just shouted: "What's the noise? Just wait for the Onmyoji to deal with it!"

Yu Shan looked at Han Chen, Han Chen frowned and said, "What's going on, why did Zhiqiong fall behind? You go first, I'll go find him."

Just as Han Chen stepped out of the circle, he saw Tong Qingqiu following him: "Brother, don't worry about Zhiqiong, someone will pick him up."

……

Xu Zhiqiong jumped out of the magic circle, was caught by Tao Huayuan from behind, and led him into a forest.

"Tao'er, what are you doing here? Aren't you going back to the Yin Yang Division?"

Tao Huayuan said: "There's no need to go back to the Yin Yang Division. The master said that the magic circle has been prepared here, and it can send us directly to the northern border."

north.

Taibo has always talked about the northern border.

"Tai Bu is going to send us to Luzhou?"

Tao Huayuan asked in surprise, "Where else could it be if it's not Luzhou?"

"It's good if it's Luzhou, let's set off quickly."

Tao Huayuan sprinkled some mercury on the ground, and the mercury disappeared in an instant.

"The magic circle is not ready yet, we have to wait for a while."

Said it was a moment, and waited until noon.

Xu Zhiqiong and the others were tired, leaning against the tree, stretched their waists and said, "If I had known it would take so long, I might as well go back to the Yinyang Division and set off from Qianmo Building, and I have already arrived in Luzhou."

Tao Huayuan also felt puzzled: "Master asked us to wait here, and I don't know what his intention is."

After more than half an hour, the mercury on the ground suddenly emerged, turning into a pair of yin and yang fishes spinning on the ground.

Tao Huayuan smiled and said, "The magic circle is here, let's go!"

The two stepped onto the magic circle, and the yin and yang fish rose under their feet, leading them to disappear into the thick fog.

A pair of yin and yang fish intertwined in the dense fog, turning into a giant black and white hand, supporting them to move forward at high speed.

Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "It's just a teleportation circle, why is it so fancy?"

The fingers of the giant hand moved suddenly.

Tao Huayuan said with a pale face, "Don't talk nonsense, this is Xing Jun's real body, a hand on his real body."

Xu Zhiqiong blinked and said, "Which Xingjun?"

"Shengke Shuangxing!" Tao Huayuan clenched Xu Zhiqiong's arm, "Master borrowed Shengke Shuangxing's right hand!"

Born and defeated double stars, the protector of the Yin-Yang family.

Yin and Yang are protected by two heavenly stars, one is the birth star and the other is the nemesis. The two stars are inseparable. From the perspective of ordinary people, they look like a black and white person, but they are actually two entities.

This hand was lent to Tai Bu by Shengke Shuangxing, the exact method is unknown.

It's just a trip to Luzhou, and Xingjun is still needed?

This ostentation is too big!
The two sat on Xingjun's right hand for most of the day, until the right hand pinned them to the ground, and the surrounding clouds slowly dissipated.

Xu Zhiqiong shivered as the cold wind passed by.

The two really arrived in the north, but it was much colder here than in the capital, and Xu Zhiqiong felt that the weather was about to snow.

There is a bluestone road at the foot, more than ten feet wide.

In front of it is a bluestone wall with uneven heights and crenels.

This is the city head!

The head of which city?

Is it the state capital of Luzhou?
Isn't there going to be a war?
Why is there no one on the city?
Xu Zhiqiong leaned on the city wall and glanced down along the crenel. He was sure that this was not the capital of Luzhou.

In Daxuan, the height of the city walls was strictly restricted by the ritual system.

The wall of Wang'an Jing is fifty feet high, and the walls of other cities cannot exceed this height.

But the city wall in front of Xu Zhiqiong's eyes was at least eighty feet high.

What kind of city wall can exceed the height of the capital city wall?
In Daxuan, there is only one possibility - the city wall of the border.

This is a border gate, but Luzhou is not at the border, so where did it come from?
Could it be that he ran too far?Ran out of the border of Luzhou and went to Yongzhou?
This is not good, didn't the whole territory of Yongzhou fall?
Xu Zhiqiong looked along the city wall, the city wall was built between two mountains, with cliffs on both sides, it was indeed a dangerous pass.

In the center of the city wall is a broken banner with a black dragon embroidered on it.

This is the banner of Daxuan, and this is the pass of Daxuan!
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned when he suddenly heard the sound of breathing in his ears.

Not a burst, but a group.

One group outside the city, and another group inside the city.

Xu Zhiqiong lay on the top of the city and looked out, and found that someone was climbing up the city wall.

Reddish yellow hair, grayish white complexion, deep eye sockets, high cheekbones, lush and curly beard.

Tu slaves!
These Tunu people wore special outer shirts with a layer of extremely fine fluff, which could climb against vertical walls.

Xu Zhiqiong drew out his saber and signaled Tao Huayuan to prepare for battle.

Tao Huayuan glared at Xu Zhiqiong. How could such a large pass be defended by just the two of them?
Xu Zhiqiong pointed to the city, indicating that there were other people in the pass.

Tao Huayuan prepared the Thunderbolt spell, and when she saw a Tunu person touching it, she was about to use the lightning strike, but found that the spell couldn't be used.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Xu Zhiqiong beheaded a Tunuren with one blow.

Another Tunu, Tao Huayuan wanted to use fire, but still couldn't.

Instead of using yin and yang techniques, Tao Huayuan pulled out her long sword and stabbed directly at Tunuren's chest. The skin of Tunuren's body can not only climb walls, but is also very tough, and the long sword can't pierce through it at all.

Tunuren drew out his unique machete and slashed at Tao Huayuan. Tao Huayuan avoided the blade and pierced Tunuren's eyebrows with a sword.

Xu Zhiqiong's side had already killed more than a dozen Tunu people, but there were too many Tunu people, and not long after, hundreds of people climbed up the city wall.

If Tao Huayuan could use yin and yang techniques, it would be no problem to deal with hundreds of people.

The problem was that Tao Huayuan couldn't cast spells, and Xu Zhiqiong didn't have the ability to attack in a large area.

He wanted to use the invisibility technique to take Tao Huayuan away from the city for a while, but found that his skills could not be used.

Why can't all skills be used here?

I had no choice but to run away.

Xu Zhiqiong grabbed Tao Huayuan and was about to run to the bottom of the city, when suddenly a tower appeared above the top of the city, and more than two hundred Daxuan soldiers descended from the tower, the first row of soldiers held shields, and the second row held single swords , holding the back of the shield soldier.

The soldiers in the third row held spears and stabbed them in the gaps in the shields according to the captain's order.

The more than [-] Tu slaves climbing on the city wall were already exhausted and couldn't form a formation, so they were quickly chased and killed by Daxuan soldiers.

Xu Zhiqiong pulled Tao Huayuan and stood in the middle of the crowd.

The captain came forward and looked at each other with Xu Zhiqiong.

The school lieutenant was wearing a tattered battle suit, his hair and beard were stuck together, his face was covered with a layer of mud, and he couldn't tell what he looked like at all.

However, among the more than [-] people, this lieutenant is still the cleanest.

The captain looked at Xu Zhiqiong and asked, "Xuan Ren?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "What kind of place is this?"

The captain replied: "Daxuan Yongzhou, Iron Wolf Pass!"

Big announcement!

Yongzhou!

Iron Wolf Pass!
The whole territory of Yongzhou has not been lost!

The captain shouted: "Drag the food back, the enemy is about to throw stones."

Xu Zhiqiong was wondering where the food came from.

But I saw Daxuan's soldiers dragging the Tunu people's bodies.

Aspirations hungry for slave meat, laughing and thirsty for drinking Mao Sha's blood!

The iron wolf will be cut off for a month, and this is how the soldiers survived!
