Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 72 Preparation
Outside Xinze City, Xu Jin held a dagger in his hand and stood in front of a half-person-high stone. The half-person-high stone in front of him had been split in half obliquely, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.

"Completing the visualization of the artistic conception has really improved my strength a lot!"

Xu Jin looked at the cut stone in front of her, and then looked down at the short knife in her hand, thinking so in her heart.

This stone was cut open by him. For Xu Jin, it is not difficult to do this. Even before completing the artistic conception, he can do it very easily. It's easier.

However, Xu Jin cut open the stone in front of him with a single knife, but he didn't use the blood owl technique at all, and he didn't even mobilize much of his own mana. He was more in his own strike, with his own comprehended killing mood , and easily split the half-person-high stone in two.

Glancing at the stone in front of her, and then thinking about the other subjects she tested just now, Xu Jin inserted the dagger in her hand back into her back, and she roughly understood how much her strength had improved after completing the artistic conception visualization.

Of course, in addition to the improvement in strength, Xu Jin has taken a big step forward on the road of practice. Although he has not broken through to the realm of harmony and light, and his own mana is still far from being perfect, Xu Jin has There is a feeling that he has vaguely seen the way ahead. He seems to have glimpsed a glimpse of the mystery of the Heguang realm, which gives Xu Jin a sliver of confidence. Other Taoist soldiers cannot complete the breakthrough of the great realm through their own practice, but they seem to have a chance of.

Just when Xu Jin was about to turn around and go back, suddenly, there was a faint sound in the sky.

After Zhong heard the voice, Xu Jin immediately looked in the direction of Ueno. It was no surprise that the voice came from that direction.

"It seems that Ueno and Jingguo are fighting again, and the preparations on Xinze's side must be used in a few days!"

There were only voices coming from the sky, and Xu Jin didn't see the light of the collision of spells. From this, he judged that the place where the battle started should be on the Ueno side, so he thought so in his heart.

The Jingguo side already had a tendency to march to Xinze again, and Ueno quickly discussed a plan for the matter planned by Xinze. The specific implementation method is actually not complicated, mainly because it is inadvertent In the meantime, let Jingguo seize an opportunity to attack Xinze, and make sure that Jingguo sends as many people as possible, so that once the plan is successful, Jingguo can be hit hard.

The first step of the plan is to try our best to hold back Jingguo, don't give Jingguo a chance to attack Xinze for the time being, deliberately act as if he is delaying Jingguo, and then pass on a message to Jingguo cryptically. It is said that Chen Guo's court is going to send people to support Xinze to guard against Jing Guo's attack, and to have as much sense of urgency as possible to force them to be firm in their determination to take Xinze as soon as possible.

Afterwards, things were relatively simple. Give Jing Guo a suitable opportunity to send troops to Xinze, and then Xinze could not resist and could only choose to flee. Once Jing Guo's army entered Xinze, the matter would be considered complete.

Now that there has been movement in Ueno, the first step of the plan can be said to have begun. If it goes well, Jing Guo's army will come to Xinze again in a few days at most.

Turn around and return to New Ze City, and continue to take a good rest during the day. When night fell, Xu Jin led some blood owl soldiers and began to patrol around New Ze City. Since the plan has already started, it is time to Be careful not to make any mistakes. Xinze must also make a posture of standing firm and waiting for help. Night patrols are essential.

In addition to patrolling at night, Xu Jin also plans to wait until dawn to lead the remaining ordinary soldiers in Xinze to repair the collapsed city wall. Of course, there is definitely no way to repair it. Look, if it doesn’t work, just pile up those collapsed city bricks, dig some traps and ditches around the city wall, and then place the equipment for defending the city around, at least it can make a look like defending the city.

Xu Jin thought so, and he did the same after dawn. Under his command, the ordinary soldiers in the city began to set up outside Xinze City. After a day, the city quickly returned to its proper appearance. Unfortunately, the repairs were just superficial things, and they were almost useless in real battles.

At night, Xu Jin continued to lead people to patrol. In the direction of Ueno, the news of the battle came again, and this time the place of the battle was obviously much closer to them, and the light of the collision of spells was faintly visible in the night.

Looking at the flickering light in the sky, Xu Jin guessed that Jing Guo wanted to secretly send people to attack Xinze, but was stopped by Ueno.

The movement of the battle lasted for a while and then stopped. Xu Jin patrolled around until dawn, but found no trace of the Jingguo army.

In the next two days, in the direction of Ueno, the sound of fighting will be heard from time to time. Each time the duration is not long, but each time the movement is relatively loud.

At noon that day, Xu Jin was practicing in the room, when a blood owl Taoist soldier came in and said that Tian Yu was looking for him again, Xu Jin walked out of the room and saw Tian Yu in the yard.

As soon as she saw Tian Yu, Xu Jin noticed a slight smile on his face, which seemed to be a good thing. Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a slight movement in her heart, and asked Tian Yu as she walked forward.

"Tian Shuyin seems to be in a good mood. Could it be that there is some good news from Ueno?"

"Haha, I am happy today mainly because of two reasons. One is that Master Ling Shou has made a breakthrough in cultivation, and the other is that there is indeed good news from Ueno!"

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Tian Yu replied with a smile.

"Master Ling Shou has made a breakthrough in cultivation, that's really gratifying and congratulatory, but I don't know what level Ling Shou is now, and what's the good news from Ueno?" Xu Jin heard these two news with a big smile on his face. He also smiled and continued to ask Tian Yu.

Speaking of which, he really didn't know what realm Chen Zhe was in. He had heard from Tian Yu before that the other party was a breakthrough in a big realm this time. Xu Jin had a rough guess about his cultivation realm, but he was not sure.

"The news from the Ueno side is that just now, at the cost of his own serious injury, King Jing forcibly injured six of our masters who had crossed the deep realm, and most of the rest of Jing Guo's masters also paid for their injuries. Injured quite a few masters from Chen Guo's side, Ueno's masters judged that Jing Guo should be preparing to create an opportunity for himself to capture Xinze!"

After Tian Yu heard Xu Jin's words, she opened her mouth and answered Xu Jin, but she directly skipped Xu Jin's question to Chen Zhe.

After hearing Tian Yu's answer, Xu Jin didn't bother about Chen Zhe's cultivation level, but a thought flashed in his mind, "I'm afraid Chen Zhe's cultivation level has broken through to the Jiming level!"

This thought flashed in her mind, but Xu Jin followed Tian Yu's words and said, "In this way, Ueno doesn't need to deliberately give Jing Guo a chance. This is a good thing, at least Jing Guo found the problem. The possibility will be even smaller, but we must be ready to deal with the attack of Jingguo at any time in the future!"

"That's right, the means in the city have been prepared. In the past few days, I have arranged some superficial deception methods to try my best to prevent Jing Guo's army from becoming suspicious after entering the city. Xu Bingzhu, what you have done in the past few days is the same. That's right, whether it's repairing the city wall or digging traps, it can make Jingguo's army more at ease!"

Seeing that Xu Jin didn't follow up with Chen Zhe's cultivation level, Tian Yu also praised Xu Jin along the way, and then continued.

"The next thing is to work hard for Bingzhu Xu. To let Jing Guo's army enter the city, we need to have a little resistance in Xinze. But now, some people in the city can withdraw first. When the time comes, our soldiers With few major generals, it is more reasonable to be defeated at the first touch!"

Hearing Tian Yu talk about the topic of retreat, Xu Jin felt a lot more at ease. Most of the preparations that should be done have been done. As for how to leave, he actually wanted to talk to Tian Yu these days, but the other party didn't come. Looking for herself, Xu Jin also plans to talk about this issue with the other party tomorrow at the latest.

"I don't know what Tian Shuyin has to say about this?" Xu Jin asked.

"That's what I think. Half of the soldiers in Xinze City should withdraw first, mainly wounded soldiers. Master Xu, the blood lord Taoist soldiers around you can only withdraw one-third at most. After all, the last one Those Jingguo Taoist soldiers who retreated have seen it, and the blood owl Taoist soldiers have not suffered much damage in battle, so it is not appropriate to leave too much at this time."

"You and I and Lord Lingshou, including the injured general of Xinze, have to stay in Xinze, and we can only leave after contact with Jingguo. At that time, Lord Lingshou will have his own means to take us back safely. Xu Don't worry, the soldier master, just follow the orders of Lord Lingshou!"

Tian Yu then told Xu Jin directly about her arrangement, and Xu Jin nodded slightly after listening.

The arrangement of the other party means that Tian Yu and the others really intend to take away all the people in the city, and let some people leave first. It should also take into account that the wounded soldiers have not recovered from their injuries and are slow to move. They are worried that they will have nothing to do by then. Keep up, and let some people leave first, so that Chen Zhe can relax when he takes the rest of the people away.

"So, I'll arrange people later, and leave with some wounded soldiers first!" Xu Jin said to Tian Yu.

"That's very good. Master Xu will also appease the people who stayed behind, so that everyone doesn't have to worry. Lord Lingshou will definitely take everyone away safely. Maybe when we leave, we can still see the Jingguo thief being prepared by us." It was a good show that was severely damaged by such means!" Tian Yu smiled at Xu Jin.
