I prove immortality through human relations and sophistication

Chapter 188 Yunchuan
"Master Fan."

Previously at the Governor's Mansion in Qiling, Guo Wei had already been in contact with Fan Zhibian.

"Master Guo killed dozens of Prince Andre's warriors by himself alone. Master Guo's deeds are now being spread throughout the Northern Territory."

Fan Zhibian said politely.

Recently, he has been active in the north, near the border.

"My lord, you are so complimentary. I hope it didn't bring any trouble to the court."

Guo Wei cupped his hands and said.

"Trouble is unavoidable, but since you have uncle Du Guo's recommendation, and you have boosted the morale of the border officers, the court will not punish you harshly, and the court will block all the troubles on the Turkic side for you. I have come to ask you for something. I want to confirm things with you."

Fan Zhibian said.

"Sir, please speak."

Guo Wei pricked up his ears.

"What did Xie Xiaohuan say to you after you entered the Aika tribe?"

Fan Zhibian looked at Guo Wei and said.

"He wanted me to cooperate inside and outside and go to Langgu Pass to rescue people. It seems that very important people in the Turkic Kingdom are imprisoned in Langgu Pass."

Guo Wei told the truth.

He has already stated this matter to Wei Tu.

"really."

Fan Zhibian nodded with understanding.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, he took the initiative to explain: "Four years ago, the Turkic King suddenly sent troops and wanted to go around the Shiwan Mountain to enter Mazhou Prefecture. As a result, the intelligence was leaked and almost all the 5 horses died in the mountains. The remaining More than 1000 people became prisoners and have been imprisoned in Langgu Pass as hard labor these years."

"The Turks established diplomatic relations with our country in the early stage to allow the court to release the more than 1000 prisoners. The court believed that they could circumvent the Shiwanda Mountains and almost entered the territory of Mazhou. There might be spies in the court who were informing them, so they did not arrest them. Before the spy came out, he was stalling for time.”

"Now you are killing everyone in the Turkic territory. The Turkic king is making a big fuss about this matter and wants the court to release the more than 1000 prisoners as soon as possible."

Fan Zhibian said continuously.

"The court won't agree to them, right?"

Black Tiger asked.

"If you want to be released, you have to wait until the spies are discovered."

Fan Zhibian said.

"Sir, my master has worked hard and cultivated many talents for the imperial court. If the imperial court can release those more than 1000 prisoners, can we also release our junior brother and reunite him with my master?"

Chu Linguang knelt down on one knee and said.

"Sir, my master killed dozens of Turkic royal men in a row, which made Dayuan angry and united the hearts of the border officers and soldiers. Please show mercy."

Black Tiger knelt down and said.

"Xie Xiaohuan is now Prince Andre's confidant. He not only taught the day and night breathing method to the children of the Turkic royal family, but also gave the map of the topography of the northern territory to the Turkic royal family. The court suspected that the [-] Turkic army could circumvent four years ago. Traveling through Shiwanda Mountain and almost entering the boundary of Mazhou is related to the information provided by Xie Xiaohuan."

Fan Zhibian has a profound meaning.

Hearing this, Chu Linguang and Hei Hu's expressions froze.

"Sir, Lin Guang and Hei Hu are ignorant, please don't mind."

Guo Wei cupped his hands and said.

"It's okay."

Fan Zhibian waved his hand indifferently.

Chu Linguang and Heihu could only get up and return to Guo Wei. They and others realized that Xie Xiaohuan might not have defected to the Turks out of helplessness, but had conspired in advance. He did not find Andre after the Turks were desperate and sought refuge. , use day and night breathing methods to show loyalty.

Thinking of what Mahmoud called Xie Xiaohuan.

The word patriarch.

It shows that Xie Xiaohuan is the leader of one of the Turkic tribes, which is equivalent to the lord of a city in Dayuan. If the tribe is strong enough, his power may even be comparable to that of the lord of Dayuan.

However, the Turkic royal family had already learned about the day and night breathing method, so it was obviously impossible for Xie Xiaohuan to gain such a great status.

Therefore, Xie Xiaohuan may have planned everything before entering the Turks. In order to be reused, he collected a lot of precious information.

With Xie Xiaohuan's abilities at the time, one can imagine how much information he wanted to obtain. Therefore, there was only one possibility. Xie Xiaohuan had close contact and long-term contacts with the spies hidden in the Yuan Dynasty.

Thinking of this, everyone shuddered.

No matter who they are, they all hate those who betray their country for glory and betray their trust.

I just don’t know who the spy who has been in contact with Xie Xiaohuan is?
"It seems that if you want to save my junior brother, not only must your master be granted the title of Grandmaster, but you must also carry Xie Xiaohuan's head."

Chu Linguang thought to himself.

"I came to see Master Guo. In addition to asking about what happened that day, I also have something to say to Master Guo on behalf of the court."

Fan Zhibian said with a serious face.

"The grass people are all ears."

Guo Wei's expression changed slightly. Fan Zhibian delivered the message on behalf of the court. Could it be the emperor's order? Just as he was about to kneel down to salute, Fan Zhibian held him by the hand and said with a smile: "Master Guo, don't panic. Uncle Du Guo will be your guarantee. The court will not make things difficult for you, the superiors just asked me to tell you that Xie Xiaohuan cannot be moved for the time being, let alone killed!"

"Then how can we save my junior brother?"

Chu Linguang didn't expect it. He was still thinking about how to successfully kill Xie Xiaohuan, but he didn't expect that the court would not allow Xie Xiaohuan to be touched.

"The grass people understand."

Guo Wei nodded.

He seemed to be expecting something.

Since the court wanted to find out the spy, and Xie Xiaohuan had close contacts with the spy, how could the court let him kill Xie Xiaohuan before finding the spy?

Guo Wei even broke into a cold sweat.

If I killed Xie Xiaohuan in Turks and took Xie Xiaohuan's head to Langgu Pass to redeem him, I might not only be unable to save my son, but also harm him, and even make people mistakenly think that my son is one of the spies, and I killed Xie Xiaohuan just to silence him. .

"Master Guo, don't walk around Shiwandashan easily if you have nothing to do in the future. This is also something the imperial court has instructed."

Fan Zhibian added.

"Yes, grassroots remember."

Guo Wei nodded again.

"General Wei, can you accompany me for a walk across the border?"

Fan Zhibian smiled at Wei Tu.

"it is good."

Wei Tu looked deeply at Guo Wei and could only force out a smile.

The imperial court focused on the overall situation, so it could only wrong Guo Wei first. As a father, it was very uncomfortable to have a way to save his son, but he was banned from using it. Even if the process was very difficult, it was very uncomfortable.

"Lin Guangheihu, let's go back to Baiyang County."

Guo Wei acted decisively and seemed to have no complaints. After saying goodbye to everyone, he rode on Red Boy and ran to Qiling Governor's Mansion.

Chu Linguang and Heihu followed Guo Wei with mixed feelings. The master and apprentice could all understand the court's purpose, but the explicit order to prevent Guo Wei from touching Xie Xiaohuan undoubtedly caused Guo Wei to lose hope.

It seems that if you want to save Guo Xiaotian, you must let Guo Wei be canonized by the imperial court and become a legitimate master. If you still can't save Guo Xiaotian with this status by then, you will have to find another way. "Master Guo, please wait a moment."

Dujuan chased after him.

Zhuo Yi and Du Wushuang followed closely behind.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty the Princess?"

Guo Wei laughed.

Du Juan is a relative of the emperor and the daughter of Uncle Du Guo. Like Zhao Rushuang, she has the title of princess. Du Juan can even be called a princess.

However, Du Juan was high-spirited and wanted to gain glory through his own strength, so he participated in the Taoist martial arts test and won the first place in Yunchuan City and the second place in Mazhou Academy. His strength was second only to the wealthy aristocrat Liu Qingqing.

Guo Wei smiled and called her Princess, obviously wanting to make everyone laugh and avoid worrying about him.

"Master Guo, my father would like to invite you, Lin Guang and Hei Hu to stay in Yunchuan City for a few days."

Du Juan smiled.

"it is good."

Hearing this, Guo Wei nodded without thinking.

Fan Zhibian said twice that Uncle Du Guo sponsored him and arranged for Chu Linguang to enter the training ground to practice. Although there was an exchange of interests, both master and apprentice benefited greatly. Even if they were not invited, they still had to visit. Go down to someone else’s house.

"Master Guo, let's walk this way. This place is about the same distance from Yunchuan City and Nancheng. Let's chat while we walk. My dad has time to wait for us."

Du Juan looked overjoyed.

Immediately, a group of six people headed to Yunchuan City.

At the gate of the military camp, Yan Zhen stared at the backs of Chu Linguang and the six others. He made an agreement with the little prince to continue fighting in Shiwanda Mountain in a month. It was rare to find an evenly matched opponent. Yan Zhen wanted to wait until a few days before the provincial examination began before leaving.

He muttered: "Chu Linguang, I hope you can keep your promise and do your best to let me meet you in the martial arts exam."

Long Trip.

The six of them had plenty of time, so they stayed in an inn without sleeping in the open air. They stopped and walked on the road, and often competed in martial arts together.

"boom!"

The weapons in the hands of Du Wushuang and Du Juan flew out together.

Du Juan said angrily: "What a pervert. If I had known about the opportunity to practice in the trial field, I would have snatched it at any cost."

"Top ten in the provincial examination, stable."

Du Wushuang said appreciatively.

He and Du Juan teamed up to deal with Chu Linguang, but within a few rounds, Chu Linguang shot down the long soldier in his hand.

Both of them knew that Chu Linguang's strength had greatly improved after practicing in the trial field for three months and that he had taken marrow cleansing liquid. He was no longer what he used to be, but they didn't expect that the change would be so drastic.

"Compared to Brother Yan, I'm still far behind."

Chu Linguang always remembered the agreement with Yan Zhen.

"There are three trial grounds in Dayuan. The imperial court sends outstanding talents there to practice every year. If you really want to get a chance like Chu Linguang, you must first improve your state of mind."

Zhuo Yi said earnestly.

Although Du Juan is a relative of the emperor, it is not possible to enter the trial field just because he wants to. Du Wushuang's talent and strength are not weaker than him. Even if the spot is not taken away by Chu Linguang, if he wants to enter the trial ground to practice, he has to earn it through merit. .

Uncle Du Guo's recommendation is only one part of it.

At that time, Chu Linguang killed Samba, which gave Dayuan a sigh of relief and severely suppressed the vigor of the Turkic mission. Uncle Du Guo learned about Chu Linguang's specific strength from Du Juan. In order to win over Chu Linguang, he changed the quota to Chu Linguang. He originally thought that Chu Linguang If he wanted to enter the Northern Trial Field, he was supposed to have to go through a round of assessment, but he didn't expect that the court would let him pass directly.

"Hey, forget it if you can't beat him, even your mentality will be completely defeated."

Du Juan sighed.

As relatives of the emperor, the conditions for entering the training ground to practice are much more relaxed than those of Chu Linguang and others, but you still have to put in a lot of effort to get in.

The cuckoo can only take its time.

Everyone walked around watching the flowers.

Ten days later, we finally entered the boundaries of Yunchuan City.

One hundred thousand mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles.

Like a huge scar, tearing through the territory of Dayuan and Turks, half of the border of Mazhou Governor's Mansion is bordered by Shiwanda Mountain.

Yunchuan City is among them.

Four years ago, if the [-] Turkic troops entered Yunchuan City from the [-] Mountains, based on the defense of Yunchuan City at that time, they would probably fall instantly, and the Mazhou Governor's Mansion might fall into the hands of the Turks within a few days.

The border guards received their supplies of food, grass, soldiers and horses from Mazhou. Once Mazhou fell and fell into the hands of the Turks, the border guards would be disintegrated by the Turks within a few days.

At that time, millions of Turkic soldiers and horses could move freely across the plains thousands of miles away. The northern border might be completely defeated. At the least, the Yuan Dynasty would move its capital to the south, or at worst, the dynasty would fall apart, and the people of the Yuan Dynasty would become slaves of the Turkic royal family.

Fortunately, the imperial court has always attached great importance to the importance of Mazhou Governor's Mansion and Yunchuan City. Not only was it aware of the Turkic royal family's plot, but it also eradicated all the [-] soldiers and horses. The remaining more than [-] people have been imprisoned in Lang Valley. Guan is a hard worker.

So many years have passed.

The strength of soldiers and horses in Yunchuan City and the entire Mazhou territory has risen to several levels. Even if the Turks can successfully circumvent the Hundred Thousand Mountains again, they will not be able to easily break through the defense of Yunchuan City.

In the eyes of Chu Linguang and Heihu.

Yunchuan City is several times larger than Nancheng, with the city towers over a hundred meters high. Not only are there tens of thousands of soldiers stationed outside the city, but there are also soldiers and horses guarding various key points in the hundreds of thousands of mountains to prevent the Turks from repeating their old tricks.

The beacon tower stretches all the way from the mountain to the outside of the city.

Uncle Du Guo was stationed here, which shows that the court had high hopes for him and the emperor valued him very much, otherwise he would not have given him the management of such an important military fortress.

Secondly, Yunchuan City is also extremely wealthy.

The canal in the city is connected to the south city. Although it is not close to the sea, it has the resources of a hundred thousand mountains and is rich in materials. It is rich in various precious medicinal materials. Most of the monsters eaten by the rich and nobles come from Yunchuan City.

Therefore, you can often see a dozen or dozens of people carrying weapons in the city to form a hunting team.

Even Chu Linguang saw at the gate of the city that two hunting teams had gained a lot. They dragged out an adult pig demon and a ten-meter-long scorpion python from the Shiwan Mountain.

They were slaughtered and cut up at the foot of the mountain, and the baskets of flesh and blood were sold to wealthy nobles.

"Monsters and beasts are rampant in Shiwanda Mountain. If they didn't go into the mountains to hunt monsters from time to time, within a few years, there would be a tide of beasts. All cities close to Shiwandashan have experienced the phenomenon of monsters attacking the city."

"But we can't kill all the monsters."

"Otherwise, the Hundred Thousand Mountains will no longer be a natural danger, and the Turkic soldiers and horses can go around at will like they did four years ago."

Zhuo Yi introduced Chu Linguang and Hei Hu all the way.

"If you can just eat the meat of these monster beasts, you won't have to worry about your strength not increasing and your Dharma being open. Compared to Yunchuan City, life in Nancheng is still a little bitter."

Black Tiger sighed.

"Then you stay and go into the mountains with the hunters here to hunt monster beasts. In this way, you can not only eat the flesh and blood of monster beasts, but also gain some silver. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Guo Wei suggested.

"Master is right, if..."

Black Tiger was overjoyed, but when he looked into Guo Wei's eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head and muttered: "My small arms and thin legs can kill monsters. I just said it casually, Master, don't take it seriously."

But Chu Linguang couldn't help but look at those hunters with strong blood. In order to improve his strength, Yan Zhen went to the border to practice and fought with the little Turkic prince in the Shiwan Mountain. If he wanted to catch up with him, he would try his martial arts in the countryside. If you want to meet him, you may not only need to practice hard, but also find your own opponent in the mountains and forests like Yan Zhen. Fighting with monsters is also a way of training, and progress is particularly fast.

(Today is shorter, I will make up for it tomorrow!)
