Chapter 218 Don't Force Me (Please Subscribe)

In Jiangnan County, Dongzhou City, Lunwu Building.

Wang Chaoyang, the master of Dongzhou Lunwu and a fourth-rank master of divine mechanics, was looking at the "Tianji Wupu" in his hand, frowning.

This was half a day after "Tianji Wupu" was released.

With the help of the resources in the building, Wang Chaoyang got the new issue of "Tianji Wushu" from the capital tens of thousands of miles away in just half a day.

The world today is so weird.

The Tianji Pavilion was banned by the imperial court, but the more the imperial court banned things, the more the common people believed in them.

"Tianji Wupu" has been sealed for more than a hundred years, but its reputation and sales volume now are even better than it was a hundred years ago.

Those who talk about martial arts have to regard Tianji Museum as their biggest opponent, and pay more attention to each issue of "Tianji Wupu".

What made Wang Chaoyang feel bad at this time was the list of the 'Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swordsmen'.

What do those colleagues in the Tianji Hall mean?
Chu Xisheng is only No. 20 and nine in Dongzhou Qingyun List, but those people want to carry Chu Xisheng into Shenxiu Top Ten Swords?

Is it because Dongzhou Lunwulou underestimated Chu Xisheng's strength, thinking that they have blind eyes and can't know people?
Outrageous!

Just at this time, a beautiful woman wearing a fifth-rank official robe walked into his public room.

That was Xie Zhenqing, the sub-host of Dongzhou Lunwu Building, who was in charge of the East Building.

After Xie Zhenqing came in, he casually bowed his hands to Wang Chaoyang: "Scholar! The official is only out on business, please forgive me for being late."

When she was returning, she was summoned here by Wang Chaoyang's subordinate officials.

And just as he was saluting, Xie Zhenqing saw the "Tianji Wushu" in Wang Chaoyang's hand.

Her brows immediately raised.

Is this the new issue of "Tianji Wupu"?
It's only February 29 today, so the Tianji Pavilion was finalized and released so early?
"No need to be polite."

Wang Chaoyang waved his hand.

Sensing Xie Zhenqing's gaze, he put the "Tianji Wupu" in his hand in front of the desk, and said with a smile: "This is the new issue of "Tianji Wupu", Master Xie hasn't read it yet, right? It's a strange thing, that Chu Xisheng was actually included in the Ten Outstanding Swords of Shenxiu by Tianji Pavilion. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Xie Zhenqing was taken aback when he heard this.

Chu Xisheng was actually selected as one of Shenxiu's top ten knives?How is this going?What do those people in the Tianji Pavilion think?Are their brains flooded?
She had no expression on her face, and her expression was cold: "I haven't had time to look at it yet, but Chu Xisheng's ranking at Dongzhou Qingyun 29 is indeed a bit underestimated."

When Wang Chaoyang first took office, Xie Zhenqing ranked Chu Xisheng at nineteenth in the Qingyun list.

She thinks that Chu Xisheng's current strength is still worthy of this ranking, and she also knows that Chu Xisheng is eager to become famous, and intends to get the spot in the Wuxiang Shenzong's direct promotion to the inner sect in the Qingyun general list.

For the sake of Chu Xisheng's face, Xie Zhenqing also wanted to fulfill it.

As for the festivities between the two, Xie Zhenqing had almost forgotten about it.

What should I do if my face is stepped on by a beauty?
Forgive him of course—

However, the ranking proposed by Xie Zhenqing was dropped to 29 by Wang Chaoyang.

The reason for this master of magic is that he is a child from a poor family, so there is no need to raise it too high.

He believes that Chu Xisheng's rise is too fast. Although the current record is impressive and powerful, he lacks stamina.

In the past, there were too many examples like Chu Xisheng, whose prosperity was booming and whose death was sudden, like a shooting star.

Moreover, although Chu Xisheng's swordsmanship is capable of crushing thousands of people, he has not yet achieved a solid record in one-on-one battles, and has not encountered any strong opponents.

In the past three months, this person has never encountered anyone on the Qingyun Ranking, so it is impossible to accurately measure his combat power.

They have to leave some room for making the list when discussing Wulou.

Xie Zhenqing sneered.

The other party's reason was high-sounding, leaving her speechless.

But this is just a way for Wang Chaoyang to establish his prestige.

In this invisible way, he established his authority in Dongzhou Lunwu Building.

If it was someone else, I would endure it.

What kind of proud person is Xie Zhenqing?She has never given this boss a good look.

But at this time, Xie Zhenqing couldn't help but feel worried on behalf of Chu Xisheng.

The feat of that guy protecting friends from thousands of miles and escorting the Zuo family father and son to the capital has already spread to Zhoucheng.

Everyone in Xiushui and Jiangnan counties' martial arts and shilin who heard about this incident all gave their thumbs up and praised that young man who is the number one figure.

Xie Zhenqing had also heard about this incident, and while admiring her, she also realized how dangerous Chu Xisheng was about to face.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the capital is notoriously cruel.He was known as a cruel official in his early years, but now he is a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor.

He won't let it go.

However, the "Shenxiu Ten Master Swords" launched by Tianji Pavilion pushed Chu Xisheng to the forefront.

That guy, don’t let anything happen in Gyeonggi——

Wang Chaoyang had the same smile on his face: "Then do you think it makes sense for Chu Xisheng to be selected as one of the top ten knives?"

Xie Zhenqing frowned.

She noticed the contempt for Chu Xisheng in Wang Chaoyang's language, and instinctively wanted to speak for Chu Xisheng.

But when these words came to his lips, Xie Zhenqing took them back.

It is indeed absurd that Chu Xisheng is eligible to be selected as one of the top ten swordsmen.

It should be known that the top nine of the "Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swordsman" and the bottom one were all selected for the Qingyun general list.

No matter how much she admired that man, she couldn't speak against her conscience.

"Chu Xisheng has great potential, and he is expected to be listed in the future. The problem is that he joined the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall too late. If he was one year older, he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other nine Shenxiu Ten Master Swordsmen. Almost."

"It's not that bad, but it's still a lot worse. Chu Xisheng is already on his way to the capital. At this time, there are many people in Heluo who want to weigh him. This time, the face of the Tianji Pavilion is likely to be People picked it off and stomped hard into the mud."

Wang Chaoyang shook his head tsk tsk, then waved his big sleeves: "Speaking of business, I called you here this time for Xiushui County. There is a big battle over there, and I would like to ask you to come over and supervise in person."

Xie Zhenqing was thoughtful when he heard the words: "The great war that the scholars mentioned refers to Xishan? The Shen family and the Shangguan family are going to attack Xishan Hall?"

Wang Chaoyang smiled and picked up the teacup on the table: "Chu Xisheng has already entered the canal, and it will take at least three days and nights to return to Xiushui from there. With such a good opportunity, how can the Shen family not act?

This time you go there, one is to observe the battle and see which experts from both camps are worth noting; the other is to find a way to find out the identity of the mysterious fifth-rank expert in Xishantang.This is the top priority. Thank you, Master, for your dedication.Jin Yiwei can't find out about this matter, so it can only be handled by us in Lun Wu Lou. "

Xie Zhenqing's expression froze, and he clasped his fists together: "Your official understands! I will definitely do my best."

In addition to fabricating "On Martial God Machine", they made various lists on Martial Arts Building.There is also the responsibility of controlling the rivers and lakes for the imperial court and the emperor, and spying on the world.

They cover the world like a spider web, enabling the court to perceive every change in the rivers and lakes.

The unknown and mysterious fifth rank of Xishantang really needs to be paid attention to.In Dongzhou, there cannot be an unknown fifth-rank master.

※※※※

At the same time, in Xiushui County, Xishan Ghost Cry Gorge.

In front of the three stone castles built by the Dan family, arrows rained like locusts.

Countless arrows poured down on the three stone forts like a torrential rain, overwhelming the soldiers of the Dan family who couldn't lift their heads.

Dan Chiling hid behind the wall, staring straight ahead.

Guiku Gorge is one of the two exits at the east foot of the West Mountain, which is not as dangerous as Yixian Gorge.

This gorge is about fifty feet wide, and it can accommodate a row of hundreds of people.

At this time, in Baiyunzhai, Jiudaowu contracted twelve bandits from the West Mountain, and set up an army formation of 5000 people in this gorge, and they used strong bows and crossbows to continuously diffuse inside and outside the stone castle.

Their purpose is not to kill, but to cover the eight six-arm bed crossbows and small trebuchets approaching the stone castle so that they can bombard the city wall at close range.

Looking at this scene, Dan Chiling couldn't help turning black.

"These are heavy military weapons stored in Xiushui County's military treasury! Shen Zhou dared to borrow them for use by bandits. It's really daring. I'll make sure they can't afford it."

"Father, what you said is strange. He has such a bargaining chip in his hand, and it would be absurd not to use it. Otherwise, how would these thieves attack our stone castle?"

This is a young man standing next to Dan Chiling.

The facial features of the young man are very straight, and they should be handsome, but because of their obesity, the facial features are squeezed into a ball.

This man shook his goose-feather fan lightly, with a calm expression: "What should I do? If Shen Zhou doesn't move, he'll be like thunder. This time, Xishan Hall is in trouble, but Hall Master Chu isn't here.

Should this mountain pass be guarded?If we defend it, our family will inevitably suffer casualties, and if we don't reveal a little bit of strength, we may not be able to defend it.But if we don't keep it and let the Shen family take back Xishan Town, Shen Zhou will definitely settle accounts after the fall, and our family's previous investment will be in vain. "

Hearing this, Dan Chiling immediately glanced at his eldest son, Danze, speechlessly.

This guy's tone seemed to be someone else's business.

Then he shook his head and looked away: "Take all the three hundred soldiers from the family and order the generals to never let those thieves climb the wall. Go and ask for help from Xishan Hall with someone who is smart."

Dan Chiling thought that this stone fortress is solid, even if it is bombarded by those six-armed bed crossbows and small catapults, it should be able to last for two or three hours. There is no need for the Dan family to make a decision too early.

At this moment, an arrow shot through like a shooting star.

Dan Chiling turned his head to the side, allowing the heavy arrow with fangs to pass by his ear, and with a sound of "Duo", it was nailed to the top of the city gate.

Danze noticed a note tied to the body of the arrow, he reached out to take it down for a closer look, and then raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's the owner of Nine Knife Pier, Xia Qingtian, the sword that shocked Hong Hong, and Meng Yunshan, the owner of Baiyun Village, The letter of persuasion written to you, said let us surrender quickly, don't be ignorant of current affairs.

If it is surrendered now, they can still accommodate my Dan family to leave Xishan, otherwise they will kill all of my Dan family, leaving no bones behind.Huh, here is the unique seal of the Shen family, there should be descendants of the Shen family hiding in the opposing army, "

"It's a good one to let my Dan family leave Xishan." Dan Chiling pulled the corners of his eyebrows, his face was covered with a layer of greenness: "That is to say, even if I surrender, they can't tolerate my Dan family?"

Danze was very helpless when he heard the words: "Father, the tolls for the several gorges in the West Mountain used to be in the Shen family's pocket. From the Shen family's point of view, we should be guilty of being a slave to a tiger and robbing him of his wealth." Ten thousand deaths. They are very magnanimous for allowing us to leave Xishan."

It has come to this point, why is his father still not conscious?
The second Danchen family is already immortal!
"My son is right. I can't believe that they want to offer more favorable conditions."

Dan Chiling sighed softly.

This time, he was really tricked by that Xishan hall master.

Chu Xisheng is a generous man, wise and brave, ruthless, kind to his subordinates, and good at management. He has all the characteristics of a hero.

Dan Chiling originally thought that Xishantang's foundation would be stable, but that Zhuzi suddenly ran to the capital, which gave his opponent an opportunity and put their Dan family in an embarrassing situation.

"That's all! Now it is indeed a situation of immortality."

Dan Chiling stared intently: "Xishan Town is less than seventy miles away, and the reinforcements from Xishan Hall can arrive within an hour at most. But just in case, go find someone to prepare some firewood. Be careful not to dry it, but to get it wet. firewood, and prepare a few magicians."

"Wet firewood?" Danze was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses, the wet firewood and the sorcerer should be used for smoking.

Dan Chiling looked at the five thousand bandits on the mountain road in front of the gorge, with his hands behind his back.

Based on his guess, the Shen family's means should be more than that, they must have a way to drag the power of Xishan Hall.

Dan Chiling couldn't help clenching his fists in his sleeves, making bursts of 'click'.

He wondered in his heart what kind of world this is, Chu Xisheng is forcing him, and the Shen family is also forcing him.

Shen Zhou, Shen Zhou, and those two from Baiyunzhai and Jiudaowu, don't go too far.

It's not something you can afford for honest people to go crazy.

※※※※

Many altar masters and deputy altar masters from Xishan gathered in the main hall.

They have different expressions, some are solemn, some are filled with righteous indignation, some are full of fighting spirit, and some are worried.

They were buzzing and arguing.

Just half an hour ago, Zhengjia Village at the eastern foot of the West Mountain ignited a beacon on the top of the mountain.

According to the rules of the beacon fire in the Daning Army, the number of yellow smoke is one hundred, and the black smoke is one thousand.

After Chu Xisheng subdued Xishan Orion, he copied it directly.

At this time, there were nine beacon smoke rising from Zhengjia Village, black and straight.

This means that Zhengjia Village is facing the attack of [-] soldiers and horses.

To make matters worse, the Dan family, who guarded several gorge roads in Xishan Hall, also kept getting letters, and messengers came to ask for help.A total of [-] elite bandits are attacking Ghost Cry Gorge.

The focus of everyone's debate is where to save first.

"Naturally, it's Ghost Crying Gorge. Once those thieves rush out of the West Mountain, the consequences will be unimaginable! The whole situation will be shaken."

"Ghost Crying Gorge is important, but Zhengjia Village is not important? We have already gone to rescue the four sub-altars in the West Mountain. There are only [-] bows and knives there. I heard that the village of Zhengjia Village has not been repaired yet."

"The current strategy can only be to divide the troops and try our best to be comprehensive."

"Dividing troops? Dividing troops will only be defeated by the Shen family one by one, and the brothers will die in vain."

"Maybe you can ask for help from the chief rudder of our Iron Banner Gang?"

"It's useless, the main force of the Iron Banner Gang is in Xunyang County upstream, and those left behind at the helm can only guard the city of Xiushui County."

At this time, Lu Luanli, who was sitting in the top seat, had a strange expression on his face.

The most violent quarrels in this court are all spies and ghosts.They were turbulent, their faces were flushed red, they were devoting themselves to the great cause of Xishan Hall, and they were impassioned.

On the contrary, those who have no problem with their identities are all calm and quiet.

Sitting next to Lu Luanli was Li Shenshan, his brows frowning into the word Chuan.

Li Shenshan felt that neither choice was appropriate, and the Xishan Hall at this time was actually caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Chu Yunyun walked into the hall wearing a leather armor.

She walked directly to the center of the lobby and stood still, scanning the crowd present.

Strange to say, Chu Yunyun obviously had no expression and didn't speak.

The entire hall gradually became quiet, and the atmosphere became cold and chilling.

This is obviously just a sickly girl under the age of 14, but she exudes an astonishing aura, which makes everyone's primordial spirit feel a little coercive.

"Send troops to Zhengjia Village immediately! All branch altars at the entrance of the hall, and all gang members must join the conscripts. I, Xishan Hall, will not make any reservations in this battle."

Chu Yunyun's voice was cold and calm, and her words were clear: "Lu Pingyuan, you go ahead and notify all Orion Villages to gather at Guolin Village behind Zhengjia Village. Within two hours, I will see seven thousand pairs of Xishan in Guolin Village. Bows and knives. We promise to protect them, but they should do their best!"

Lu Pingyuan's expression froze, and after he stood up and obeyed the order, he hurried out of the lobby.

Before Chu Xisheng left, she had ordered Chu Yunyun to preside over all the affairs of Xishan Hall on her behalf.

In his opinion, as Chu Xisheng's only relative, Chu Yunyun was justified.

Chu Yunyun then shifted her gaze to Zhou Liangchen again: "Brother Zhou, you are responsible for recruiting the soldiers of the rich and powerful families, and after the army is reorganized, they will follow from behind. I don't ask these people to participate in the battle, I just need to watch them. Just make a mess."

Zhou Liangchen was a little reluctant when he heard the words, why didn't he have a part in every war?

He wanted to say no, but when he caught Chu Yunyun's gaze, he calmed down again.

Zhou Liangchen saw the trust and trust in Chu Yunyun's eyes.

He suddenly realized that among all the altar masters in the entire Xishan Hall, he was the most suitable for this task.

Only his status as the son of the Zhou family can make those big and wealthy families have scruples.

Zhou Liangchen also didn't want to disappoint Chu Yunyun's trust.

But in the next moment, someone in the hall stood up and questioned: "As the head of the hall, it is only natural to rescue Zhengjia Village, but what should we do at Guikuxia? The Dan family's military strength is insufficient, and their fighting spirit is not strong. They may not be able to defend how long."

"Ignore Guikuxia for now, just order the Dan family to stick to it."

Chu Yunyun looked out of the hall from a distance, with a bit of coldness in her eyes: "I am undefeated in Xishan Hall, and the Dan family dare not turn against me. The key to this battle is still in the Zheng family village. As long as we defeat those sent by the Shen family Commander, everything can be easily solved!"

Lu Luanli stared blankly at Chu Yunyun, and felt that Miss Chu at this moment was very imposing, confident and calm, planning strategies, like a general who had commanded thousands of troops.
