The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Chapter 587 Taoism and Jianghu sects in the Commander’s Mansion

The Japanese partially invaded China a few years ago, and some areas became Japanese jurisdiction.

Now that the Japanese have fully invaded China, the battle line is also divided into many areas.

It can be divided into five war zones based on the Japanese invasion routes.

Nanjing City is one of the war zones, but today's Nanjing City is still far from the front line, and the Japanese have not yet arrived here.

Among the areas currently experiencing the most intense fighting, one is the southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu theaters.

This theater can be called the fifth theater.

Xu Zhiqing started from the west gate of Nanjing City, but changed direction again.

I didn't ask clearly before, so I almost went in the wrong direction.

Now that he knew where he was going, he wrote down the route.

This time on the road, Xu Zhiqing traveled day and night, and neither Lao Zhan nor he stopped.

During the day, he carried the coffin and traveled with Lao Jiang, and at night, Lao Jiang carried him on the road.

The two of them walked alternately, and the speed was not slow.

In just half a month, Xu Zhiqing brought Lao Zang to the fifth theater.

When he came to the war zone, Xu Zhiqing was in trouble.

Because he didn't know where the commander-in-chief of the fifth region was located.

"It seems I need to ask!"

Lunan County, the county gate is open.

In normal times, when the gate of a county town is open, you can see many pedestrians coming and going at a glance.

The city gate is now open, and there are very few pedestrians coming and going.

There were only a few of them, and every pedestrian had a look of fear on their face.

This place was the main target of the Japanese attack.

Many wealthy people have transferred everything they can, leaving behind the poor who are reluctant to part with their family property or unable to transfer it.

Sparse pedestrians also need passes to enter and exit.

This is to prevent Japanese spies from sneaking in.

It is said to be prevention, but many people know that there must be many Japanese spies in the county.

After all, the Japanese invaded China for so many years, and they must have trained many Japanese spies who were proficient in the Chinese language.

Although they knew that there were Japanese spies in the county, they also investigated them carefully.

But there are always a few that are hidden deeper.

Those that are hidden deeper are not under the control of the soldiers guarding the gate.

They only care whether the person coming or going has a pass.

Xu Zhiqing looked at those people going in with their passes. He shook his head and could only wait until dark before coming over.

Who gave him no pass.

It was night and the county gate was closed.

There were only soldiers standing vigil on the city wall.

A gust of wind blew by, but the soldiers didn't pay attention and continued to try hard to keep their sleepy eyes open so as not to fall asleep.

Xu Zhiqing appeared on the county street.

Just now, his movement was like the wind, flying over the city wall.

He can fly himself, no matter how high the city wall is, he can't stop him.

It's just that it's not easy to fly in broad daylight, and it's not good to be noticed.

This is why he entered the county town at night.

After entering the county seat, Xu Zhiqing encountered a second problem.

He didn't know who was in charge of this war zone.

He entered the county town just to ask the person in charge of this war zone, where is the Japanese commander-in-chief?
"Find someone to ask!"

Xu Zhiqing's figure disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was carrying a soldier with a fearful face.

Xu Zhiqing put the soldier aside, looked at the soldier's fearful expression, and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you!"

After he finished speaking, he felt that he had said nonsense.

He shook his head and patted the warrior on the shoulder.

"Just think that today was a dream!"

After saying this, Xu Zhiqing took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket.

"This is called the Truth Talisman. Once it's attached to your body, whenever I ask you a question, you can only answer it, and the truth will be told!"

Xu Zhiqing said and put the Truth Talisman on the warrior's body.

"Let me ask you... let me untie your vocal cords first!"

"You can't speak now because I sealed your vocal cords, so you can't scream!"

Xu Zhiqing said, placing his hand on the man's throat, a wisp of magic power dissipated, and the man whispered.

He didn't dare shout loudly.

This man was carried over with one hand.

If he yelled randomly, this person might kill him.

He knew that for the people in front of him, grabbing anyone at random was just a waste of time.

If he made any move, he would definitely not survive.

"You're pretty smart!"

Xu Zhiqing patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you or do anything bad. I just want to find someone and ask him something!"

"Forget it, I can't say that much to you, let me ask you now!"

"Who is the commander-in-chief in charge of this war zone now?"

The soldier was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously thought that the person in front of him was here to assassinate the commander-in-chief.

He didn't want to answer.

However, his mouth spoke directly.

"It's Commander Li!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard it was Li, a name immediately came to mind - Li Zongren.

"Where does he live? How can I get to Commander Li from here?"

When the soldier heard Xu Zhiqing's question, he had a look of horror in his eyes.

As expected, this man came to assassinate Commander Li.

He reached up to cover his mouth, not wanting to let it speak.

However, before he moved his hands, he spoke very honestly.

"On Qianjiang Street...go forward from here, and there is a sign over there. When you see the sign, go to the right..."

After Xu Zhiqing heard what the soldier said, he smiled at the soldier.

"Thank you!"

After saying these two words, Xu Zhiqing stretched out his hand and touched the soldier's forehead.

At this moment, the soldier passed out.

After the soldier was unconscious, Xu Zhiqing sent the soldier back to his original position.

Afterwards, he followed the route mentioned by the soldier and soon came to a house.

Xu Zhiqing glanced at the house and jumped into the house with a slight leap.

As soon as he entered the house, he attracted the attention of the fierce dog.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Two ferocious dogs with black backs and red hair pounced on Xu Zhiqing.

Xu Zhiqing didn't expect that there were two vicious dogs in the village. He knocked them unconscious with a wave of his hand.

He took action, but it was too late.

The barking of the two vicious dogs also attracted the attention of some people in the yard.

"How brave you are to attack the commander's mansion at night!"

A man wearing a Taoist priest's uniform and two beefy-chested men walked out of the side door.

Xu Zhiqing felt the auras of the three people and raised his brows slightly.

These three people all have magic power in their bodies.

When Xu Zhiqing saw the three people coming out, he saluted directly without waiting for the three people to take action.

"Xu Zhiqing, the successor of Tianxin Sect, has met three brothers!"

The three people who came out were originally very aggressive. When they saw Xu Zhiqing being so polite, the three of them were slightly startled.

The three of them looked at each other, and the two muscular men turned their attention to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest cupped his hands at Xu Zhiqing, but his face was still wary. "This fellow Taoist came to the Commander's Mansion at night for some reason, and also killed two loyal guard dogs!"

Xu Zhiqing pointed to the two dogs lying on the ground.

"I didn't kill them, I just made them unconscious temporarily!"

One of them, a muscular man, immediately stepped forward to check.

After the examination, he looked surprised.

He looked at the Taoist priest and his senior brother.

"Really alive!"

When the Taoist priest and another person heard what this man said, their expressions softened slightly.

However, the two of them still looked at Xu Zhiqing, quietly waiting for Xu Zhiqing's reply.

"I came from Nanjing City. I am not familiar with the place since I came here. I want to ask something but I don't know what to ask. Later, I thought about Commander Li being the biggest in this war zone, so I just came to see Commander Li!"

Xu Zhiqing didn't hesitate and told him where he came from and why he wanted to find Commander Li.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist and the other two people frowned.

"You said you were going to assassinate the Japanese commander-in-chief?"

Xu Zhiqing nodded.

"I came here from Nanjing just for such a thing!"

"If any of you three knows where the Japanese commander-in-chief is, I won't have to ask Commander Li!"

The Taoist priest and the other two looked at each other.

They had a feeling that what the Taoist fellow from the Tianxin Sect in front of them said should be true.

"Fellow Taoist, you don't know the situation over there and you dare to come directly. I have to admire your courage!"

The Taoist was the first to speak, perhaps because he saw that Xu Zhiqing and he were Taoists.

"If the Japanese commander was really that easy, we would have killed him long ago!"

As the Taoist spoke, he also revealed his identity with his hands raised.

"The poor Taoist Shenxiao Zhang Xuanqi came to help Commander Li on orders from the master!"

The other two people also introduced themselves.

"Iron Master, Hong Wen (Hong Wu)!"

"It turns out that it's the senior brothers from the Shenxiao Sect and the two elder brothers from the Iron Master who are facing me!"

Xu Zhiqing saluted the three of them again.

"I'm Xu Zhiqing!"

Whether it is the Shenxiao Sect or the Iron Master, they are both famous in the world.

Their reputation is far from comparable to that of the Tianxin Sect.

Zhang Xuanqi, Hong Wen, and Hong Wu heard Xu Zhiqing mention his name.

The three of them looked at each other again.

They have never heard of this name.

"Daozhang Zhang, this brother should really be a disciple of the Tianxin sect. After all, among the Japanese, only the Onmyoji has come, and the rest have not come at all!"

"Even if he endures the assassination all at once, Brother Xu is not dressed like this!"

It was Hong Wen who spoke, and he believed in Xu Zhiqing.

Hong Wu on the side did not speak.

Zhang Xuanqi looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"Brother Xu, although I really want to believe you, what you did when you broke into the Commander's Mansion at night... was really not what you should have done!"

"If you believe us, then stay for now..."

Xu Zhiqing didn't wait for Zhang Xuanqi to finish, he waved his hand and interrupted: "Senior Brother Zhang and two older brothers, I have always been impatient in doing things. This is just one of the five war zones. After I killed the commander-in-chief of this war zone, , and we have to rush to the next war zone!”

Although Xu Zhiqing said it in a light tone, Zhang Xuanqi, Hong Wen, and Hong Wu looked at Xu Zhiqing as if they were crazy.

"Brother Xu, we are not..."

"I know what you mean, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it once I leave!"

Xu Zhiqing said and took out a piece of talisman paper from the cloth bag.

"To be honest, when I left Nanjing City, Brother Mavian Ma also persuaded me in the same way!"

"But I feel that since I want to give it a try, I can't give up. Otherwise, my Taoism will be damaged, and I won't be able to make any progress in the future!"

"Seeing that he couldn't persuade me, he gave me an invisibility talisman, plus this fire talisman!"

Xu Zhiqing said, after giving the three people a look at the talisman, he put the talisman away.

"I'm not a Japanese spy, nor anything else! Brother Zhang and two brothers Hong, to be honest, if I really do something, you three can't stop me even here!"

As soon as he said this, Hong Wu took every step forward.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I believe you, but I still want to persuade you, don't go!"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head.

"I've made up my mind!"

When Hong Wu heard this, he looked at Xu Zhiqing and cupped his hands.

"In this case, Brother Xu wants us to tell you where the Japanese commander is, so you need to pass our level!"

As he spoke, he opened his posture, mana surged in his body, his body shone brightly, and his two palms shone with white light.

Xu Zhiqing looked at Hong Wu and nodded.

"Please!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, he moved.

boom.

Hong Wu, who was standing there, suddenly flew out without seeing Xu Zhiqing's figure at all.

Only after he fell heavily to the ground did Hong Wen and Zhang Xuanqi react.

The two were just about to take action when Xu Zhiqing returned to his original position.

“Senior Brother Zhang and Brother Hong, please don’t get excited!”

"Brother Hongwu wants to test my kung fu, so I will naturally show my true skills to prove that what I said before is true!"

"Besides, I also know Brother Hongwu's good intentions. He didn't want me to go there and die, so he stopped me!"

After listening to Xu Zhiqing's words, Zhang Xuanqi and Hong Wen were still extremely vigilant in their hearts.

When Xu Zhiqing disappeared just now, neither of them caught it.

If Xu Zhiqing had taken action against them before, he would probably have suffered the same fate as Hong Wu.

Just when the two of them didn't know what to say, Hong Wu got up from the ground.

He patted his chest and found that the cloth strip on his chest was torn.

But nothing happened to his skin, flesh and bones.

The pain on my body now is still the same as the previous fall.

Hong Wu came over again.

"Brother, Daozhang Zhang, I'm fine. Brother Xu is keeping his hand!"

Hong Wen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The same is true for Zhang Xuanqi.

The three of them looked at Xu Zhiqing.

Among them, Hongwu's vision was the most complicated.

He didn't think that it was because he was stronger that he wasn't injured.

At that moment before, his whole spirit was filled with fear.

In the end, I finally noticed Taoist Master Xu's retention.

"Daozhang Xu, since I lost, then I will tell you directly!"

"Hong Wu!"

Hong Wen wanted to stop his brother.

Hong Wu waved his hand.

"Senior brother, Daoist Master Xu has made up his mind. It is better for us to tell him where the Japanese general command post is than for him to fumble his way there and run into risks!"

Hong Wen was silent when he heard this.

Zhang Xuanqi, who originally wanted to speak, also closed his mouth.

Hong Wu stretched out his hand and pointed to the north.

"Brother Xu, the Japanese general command post should be at that location, because they have stationed a large force thirty kilometers north of us!"

Xu Zhiqing looked at the direction Hong Wu was pointing and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, farewell!"

When his words fell to the ground, the person was nowhere to be seen.

The three people Zhang Xuanqi, Hong Wen and Hong Wu who were left behind rubbed their eyes.

If it weren't for the two unconscious dogs lying on the ground, they would really have thought they were dreaming. (End of chapter)
