February 3rd, the fourth year of Qianyuan.

Gu Jiantang once again became the Minister of War.

Ten thousand and two Liao cavalry arrived at the front line. Gu Xishu, the second son of the general, personally led the troops to fight against Xie Xichu, a young general of Western Chu, at the Yuyang front line. They won a great victory by defeating eight thousand with three thousand.

At the same time, news came from Jiangnan Road that Xiang Wu, the leader of the Xiangwu Army, killed the governor. Xu Gong led 100,000 Longxiang Army to suppress the rebellion and won three consecutive battles. The Xiangwu Army was forced to retreat to Yangzhou City.

Ten miles of prosperity turned into smoke.

……

Yangzhou city, riverside.

Pei Nanwei ran into the ancient house, then quickly closed the door, with a lingering fear on his face.

30,000 defeated Xiangwu soldiers entered the city, frantically looting gold, silver, jewelry, and food, and forcibly absorbing the private soldiers of major families. In just one night, two wealthy families with a name "Yi" were destroyed. One of them was a great priest in the Vajra Realm who defended his home to the death, killed two hundred people, and was then trampled into a pulp by the iron cavalry.

In the past, during the Spring and Autumn Period, when the eight kingdoms were destroyed, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu defended the gate of the capital city to the death and killed a thousand elite armored soldiers of the Northern Liang army, thus becoming completely famous throughout the world. But how many Sword Emperors of Western Shu are there in the world? Thirty thousand people entered the city and killed people with swords, chopping anyone they saw. Originally, some people thought it was a frame-up, but now it seems that Xiang Wu might have really become a rebel.

"...The Longxiang Army deliberately let this off the hook. Yangzhou City is the fattest piece of meat in the world. Xiang Wu has been completely out of control since the defeated army entered the city. It will take at least three or four days for the court to figure out whether the rebellion is true or false." Crow said in a serious tone. If he didn't report, the second-in-command in charge of Jiangnan would be powerless.

"Who is Zhao Gou's boss here?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Tangxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie is at the Zhixuan realm and is a direct descendant of the Lu family. He should be desperately protecting the eldest daughter of King Beiliang right now and has no energy to investigate the situation." The crow replied.

Jiang Yuan nodded. As the leader of a powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family had a somewhat complicated internal situation. First of all, the person currently in charge of his hometown was Lu Xuanlang, and his son married Xu Zhihu, the eldest daughter of the King of Beiliang. The marriage was arranged by the head of the family. Since his daughter-in-law was married for the third time and had killed her husbands one after another, Lu Xuanlang was very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law. When his son died of illness, this dissatisfaction turned into hatred. In this incident, he evacuated all his family members in advance, but did not notify the other party. It was obvious that he was killing someone with a borrowed knife.

"With a swordsman named Zhixuan and a spy from the Fushuifang of Beiliang, the possibility of success is not high. Zhao Gou will not let the eldest daughter of the King of Beiliang die in the Central Plains." said the crow.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at Pei Nanwei who ran over and squatted beside him. This guy was trembling all over at the moment, but he actually threw away the two heads of soldiers in his hand only after closing the door. He only focused on the heads when chopping people down. He didn't know when he developed this habit.

“They cut down anyone they saw.”

Pei Nanwei folded her arms and curled up into a ball, but her plump body still made her look quite eye-catching.

"You're not much better." Jiang Yuan said. After a few days, the Eighteen Evil Exterminators had returned to their positions and were guarding the four walls of the ancient house. As for the former princess, she broke through the sixth level last night and opened up the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot and the Taiyang bladder meridian of the foot. Judging from the results, her running speed is much faster than those at the same level.

Suddenly, the door of the old house was knocked hard.

Ning Shijian immediately raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, and the other seventeen fourth-rank Wuchu Riders drew their sabers.

Pei Nanwei was so frightened that he screamed and didn't even bother to squat. He rushed out and hugged someone's waist.

Jiang Yuan raised his fist with a cold look, and was about to hit the guy hard. The crow next to him quickly spoke:
"It's spy Zhao Gou."

"Let him in."

Two scavengers opened the door, and a middle-aged man covered in blood lay at the door. It seemed that he had used up all his strength knocking on the door just now. He was lying on the ground, holding a piece of red talisman tightly in his hand. This special talisman paper came from Longhu Mountain. Since it became a semi-state religion, the head of Longhu Mountain and his son went to the capital to become "Qingci Prime Ministers", competing with the sick tiger Yang Taisui from Buddhism. Many elixirs and talismans became tributes to the royal family.

The crow brought back the talisman paper, and the middle-aged man was dragged away to heal his wounds.

"The third brother rebelled and cut off the communication with most of the strongholds south of the Yangtze River. He is an undercover agent of Cao Changqing of Western Chu and wants to help Dongyue establish a country. This letter was sent by Tangxi Sword Immortal. He wants you to go there and take charge. Xu Xiao's eldest daughter cannot die in the Central Plains."

"It has nothing to do with me." Jiang Yuan said. In fact, the battle between Xiangwu and Longxiong had little to do with him. Zhulu's incarnation had already gone to the secondary capital, which was a node of the dragon vein with strong luck. There were a few masters who were not particularly high and could be recruited into the Demon Sect.

It is worth mentioning that the traveling team encountered an ambush by the righteous path, and it is suspected that they had the support of the Guanyin Sect of the South China Sea. Most of the people in this sect are Qigong practitioners. In contrast to the Northern School, its leader, Tan Tai Pingjing, has not yet absorbed the future fortune of the decline of Western Chu and thus become a celestial being. At this stage, she roughly stays in the realm of immortals on land. As a pawn of the immortals in heaven, she has existed for more than a hundred years.

Someone tried to climb over the wall but was killed by the Filthy Cavalry with one sword. There was a sudden commotion outside. Ning Shijian took the lead and raised his crossbow to fire. After two rounds of volleys, the place returned to silence after a burst of howling.

Pei Nanwei became more and more aggressive, with most of her body leaning into someone's arms.

"You are timid and afraid of death, so just treat it as a raccoon slave. After all, as a duke, you have enough food and drink." The crow teased.

Jiang Yuan grabbed Pei Nanwei by the back of the collar and threw him out. There had been no response from the imperial court regarding the credit for destroying Xiangyang City last time. They were probably planning to do something weird. Before a clear statement was made, he was too lazy to gain military merit again. He would stay here for a few days, use the similar Purple Air Coming from the East technique to absorb the prosperous luck of Yangzhou, swallow up the blood evil caused by the attack and defense of the city, and then go to the neighboring Jianzhou.

In the last battle, the elite troops of the Southeast Protectorate were annihilated, and the Western Chu army had more than 10,000 people. The weight of Xue Sha was considerable, and his strength had been increased to the power of fifteen dragon elephants.

The essence of the Wu Zu method is to fight to support fighting, and to constantly become stronger on the battlefield. The price is that blood evil enters the body, corrodes the soul and body, and shortens the lifespan. Because the price is too huge, it has always been regarded as a side path and cannot be accepted by the upper class. Compared with the original pure method of the military strategists - using blood evil to forge natal protective armor instead of magic weapons, it has deviated by thousands of miles. Objectively speaking, it is the result of the military forces of Yiren Dongtian being forced to adapt and evolve over a long process of thousands of years.

But someone's soul is not afraid of erosion at all, and there are saint thieves who constantly absorb vitality to repair old damage. The combination of the three has become a road to heaven. In the process of continuous damage and repair, the strength and toughness of the body are also continuously improved. With the two great Vajras as the foundation, the tall building remains towering.

In the courtyard of the old house, Pei Nanwei rolled a few times and stood up. After hesitating for a while, he ran to the rattan chair and squatted down.

Jiang Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at this guy whose temperament changed drastically after becoming a banished immortal, and asked:
"Do you know how to cross the dead end road and become a martial god?"

"Ten thousand years ago, the ancestor of the military strategists combined the martial arts. If he had not died, the great way would have been cut off by later generations. Except for a flash in the pan, taking half a step is the limit." Pei Nanwei said blankly. This sentence has been deeply imprinted in her heart. She is filled with reluctance, anger, and the desire to do something knowing that it is impossible.

"Then we should continue to consolidate our foundation until it is so solid that no one can stop us from attacking. Under this premise, we should keep walking to the edge of the cliff. We cannot retreat, but the consolidation process will continue. In this way, we will be able to build a path on the cliff."

"When you encounter a dead end, you fill up the abyss?" Pei Nanwei raised his head, his eyes cold, "How can you predict the result? Will the road you are walking on still be the one you want? Besides, who can do that?"

"The road leads to the sky, and I just keep moving forward." Jiang Yuan looked calm.

"Wait until you ask me for a fight someday." Pei Nanwei challenged.

Jiang Yuan punched the other person on the forehead.

"What are you pretending for?"

Pei Nanwei held her head with tears in her eyes. She only had a vague impression now.
