The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 289: Heaven's Law is Strong and a Prefecture Falls

In the past two months, Fang Xun has acquired several more spiritual weapons.

Xiaoyue's Qiuli sword is still in the martial arts hall and has not been taken out yet.

He took out Duan Shuai's Fire Scale Sword and Wei Zhuang's Shark Tooth Sword and used them directly.

He did not take the initiative to tell others the origin of these two magical weapons, and Yu Jiaolong and Old Man Mo did not ask any more questions.

The same was true of the purple gold bowl and the inverted dream that followed.

Although he was amazed at the power of the two magical instruments, especially the purple gold bowl, this holy instrument was of a higher grade than most, even inside the Great Zen Temple, the leader of Buddhism.

But the two of them also tacitly agreed not to ask about the origins. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and if they keep trying to get to the bottom of it, they might not even be able to be friends anymore.

Now when she heard what the other party said, Yu Jiaolong felt both enlightened and surprised, wondering when Fang Xun had come into contact with the ghost-faced man.

"What is your relationship with Fang Xun?"

The ghost-faced man said calmly, “There is nothing special about it. This time I lent him the magic weapon, and he has to do something for me in the future. It’s just a deal.

If you don't believe it, you can go ask him now!"

Yu Jiaolong waved her hand.

"I believe you. There's no need for you to lie about something that can be known with just one question. It seems that you came to me to ask for something. Tell me what it is. For the sake of those two magic weapons, if it's not difficult, I'll agree to it!"

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to relax, and the two were no longer on edge. Fang Xun spoke calmly.

"What I ask for is certainly not difficult for the princess."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of white paper covered with tiny handwriting and threw it lightly. In a flash, it appeared in Yu Jiaolong's hand again.

"This is a method for making Buddhist instruments. I want you to mobilize the power of the palace to help me make one hundred of them!"

Yu Jiaolong didn't read the contents of the paper, but just spoke in a deep voice.

"It seems that the outside world's speculation about you is completely wrong. There is no big force behind you, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me."

Fang Xun did not respond, but simply asked, "Can you agree to this?"

Yu Jiaolong said in a deep voice: "Even if you have done me a favor, the cost of making one hundred Buddhist instruments is bound to be considerable, and I don't even know your purpose, so how can I easily agree to it?"

With the manpower and financial resources of the royal palace, it is not impossible to create one hundred Buddhist instruments.

But Yu Jiaolong was worried about the other party's purpose. Who knew whether the other party wanted to kill people or set fire.

If the other party is trying to make some big news, and after investigation it is found that these one hundred magic weapons were made with the help of the royal palace, then it will be a lot of fun, and she will also be implicated.

Fang Xun was silent for a while before he spoke again: "Princess, don't worry about this. I want these magic weapons to deal with the White Lotus Mother's domain."

"Hmm?" Yu Jiaolong was surprised. "If you have a way to deal with the White Lotus Mother, why did you come to me instead of going directly to the border to find Priest Wu Shan or Taoist Priest Zhen Yangzi?!"

Even the two Zhenwu realm masters were helpless against the White Lotus Domain and could only guard the Lingzhou border.

But the Ghost-faced Man said that he could deal with the White Lotus Mother, which surprised her greatly.

Fang Xun sneered.

“If I really appeared in front of Wu Haoran, that guy wouldn’t care whether I was there to help him or not, he would definitely kill me first without saying a word.

You know how determined the Confucian sect is to kill me, so what kind of joke is this?"

Yu Jiaolong finally reacted, frowned and said thoughtfully: "I need to think about this matter. How about we make an appointment and give you an answer when we meet next time?"

Of course, she couldn't agree to such a thing hastily, so she planned to go and confirm with Fang Xun and ask for his opinion.

Fang Xun simply replied: "Sure."

Just as he was about to decide on the time and place to meet, he heard hurried footsteps outside. "Let's talk later."

Leaving only one sentence, Fang Xun's figure disappeared in an instant, and when he appeared again, he appeared on a beam high in the sky.

Yu Jiaolong also calmed down and sat back at the desk. After a while, she saw Xiao Zhen, wearing armor, hurriedly walking in. The first sentence he said made her face change drastically.

"My Lady, it's bad. According to urgent news from the front line, the Tianli Cult has finally taken action!"

Yu Jiaolong asked quickly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Xiao Zhen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then began to tell the story.

"Three days ago, the White Lotus Mother's domain actively spread, and countless followers of the Tianli Sect followed behind and pressed towards Wuzhou. The army had no choice but to retreat all the way. Taoist Master Zhenyangzi and Priest Wu Shan decided... decided, decided, decided..."

When Xiao Zhen said this, his face became nervous and he couldn't continue for a while, which made Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun on the beam very anxious.

"What did they decide? Tell me now!"

Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth and said directly: "The two adults have decided to evacuate all the people in Wuqing Prefecture on the border. Anyone who is too slow to keep up with the army's evacuation will be left alone!"

Yu Jiaolong's pupils shrank suddenly: "Is the White Lotus Mother really so terrifying that so many masters on the front line dare not resist her?"

Xiao Zhen said with an unpleasant expression: "I don't know much about the inside story, but if there was really no other way, the two adults would not have made such a decision."

Yu Jiaolong's face was gloomy. "But this is a hasty relocation. I'm afraid that a large number of weak civilians will not be able to keep up with the pace. The army can't resist a few to buy time. What about these civilians..."

Having said this, she also fell silent.

The population of a prefecture is in the tens of millions. How can such a large number of people just run away? This is not a disciplined army. We are all civilians.

These included communication, packing up belongings, and maintaining evacuation order.
All these will waste a lot of time.

Even if these tens of millions of people are extremely well organized, they can obey orders and march in unison.

But among them there are a large number of common people who are not even at the acquired realm.

The marching speed of tens of millions of troops and the marching speed of tens of millions of civilians are two completely different things!

Wu Haoran and Zhen Yangzi, both of whom are in the Zhenwu realm, are indeed strong, but no matter how powerful they are, they cannot fly away with tens of millions of people.

If the people want to evacuate, they need the army and experts to hold out at the front line to delay the enemy for a while, so as to buy time for the evacuation of the rear.

If the White Lotus Mother was so powerful that the frontline troops and masters had no choice but to retreat, or even forcing all the population of Wuqing Prefecture, which was located on the border of Wuzhou, to abandon their homes and evacuate, she could understand that.

But now, the front-line dare not even put up a little resistance to buy some time for the people in Wuqing Prefecture to evacuate. The implications of this are extremely terrifying.

Xiao Zhen was silent for a while before he said with difficulty, "It's not that the front line didn't send people to resist the Tianli Sect army to buy time for the rear to evacuate.

But in the end, the 20,000 brave soldiers, 13 Yin God masters and two Yang God masters who were sent out were either killed in the battle or turned into Tianli followers! "

call--

For a moment, it seemed as if gusts of cold wind from outside were whistling into the study, and the cold wind directly chilled Yu Jiaolong's heart.

At the same time, in Wuqing Prefecture, the prefectural capital.

At night, the city was ablaze with flames and filled with smoke.

However, there were only sporadic shouts of killing, curses, and pleas for mercy, all of which were drowned out by the louder and louder shouts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom followers.

"The law of nature is clear, blood is sacrificed to the people!"

Gradually, the shouting and screaming disappeared completely, the fire was extinguished, and the city of Norda became indescribably dark and silent, as if there was no life at all.
