"The people in the marsh are quite good at choosing the right time, and they actually plan to send troops during the imperial examination!"

In the lobby of Pan's mansion, Pan Xiang looked at the letter in his hand and sneered.

In front of him, Wu Gang, who was dressed in fine clothes, frowned and said: "The Imperial Examination is a major event for the imperial examination. Some elite soldiers will be stationed in the examination room to prevent accidents. The attention of the entire Jiannan Road must be focused on it. It is indeed the best time to raise troops." Good timing.”

"That's right, you can't underestimate the people in the marsh. They are also capable people," Pan Xiang said with emotion, then smiled, "It's a pity that they are not mature enough in strategy and take it too much for granted. They think that there will be opportunities during the imperial examination." , Little did they know that our military and political divisions in Darui have been on guard against this for a long time. The Yongping army has strong horses and can kill them with just one move!"

"I'm afraid that the Yongping Army has other plans," Wu Gang said with a worried look on his face, "Zhang Jieshuai promised so readily, so I'm afraid he has other plans."

"I know very well what Zhang Duling is thinking," Pan Xiang smiled faintly, looking confident, "The Yongping Army is as famous as the Wuxin Army, but in recent years Song Yuan's popularity has increased greatly, and several great victories have already surpassed Zhang Duling's. The limelight has passed, and since Song Yuan married the daughter of the Shi family, there are faint signs of entering the center. How can he, Zhang Duling, tolerate this kind of thing? "

"What do you mean, sir?" Wu Gang's heart moved.

"Everyone gets what he needs!" Pan Xiang said, taking a sip of tea. "This cooperation is about everyone getting what they need. There is no benefit. Why should others take chestnuts from the fire for me? This is also my idea about the new law. The Prime Minister was so A few people are deceived and always want to get it right in one step, which is too hasty. Everything must be done step by step. If I were to make suggestions..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped talking, his hand trembled, and the cup fell down. It hit the ground with a "clack" and broke into several pieces. The tea rolled down to the floor.

"Huh? Sir? What's wrong with you?" Wu Gang stepped forward quickly. He raised his fingers and circulated his Qi. His fingertips suddenly became hot and touched several places on Pan Xiang's body.

Pan Xiang's expression was dull at the moment. After being tapped a few times by Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., he recovered a little. He only looked tired and said slightly panicked: "I suddenly felt weak!"

After hearing this, Wuhan Iron and Steel didn't say much and just circulated Qi. He passed the hot breath through his palms to Pan Xiang's body to replenish his energy and blood, but with little effect.

Frowning his brows, Wu Gang retracted his hand and said, "I don't understand medical matters, so I'd better go ask Chief Lin to take a look."

"Go quickly, go quickly." Pan Xiang was suddenly in trouble and was already a little flustered. He was no longer as calm as before, so Wuhan Iron and Steel did not dare to delay. He left in a hurry, and not long after, he came back with a Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest is not tall and has a well-proportioned body. He has a five-year-old beard and walks neither hastily nor slowly, giving him a feeling of being out of the world.

As soon as he entered the house, the Taoist priest let out a light sigh. Then he bowed his hands to Pan Xiang.

"Come here, Taoist Master Lin, my bones seem to be in trouble and I'm suddenly weak." Pan Xiang spread out on the chair. He reluctantly raised his hand to say hello.

The Taoist priest surnamed Lin stepped forward and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait for the poor Taoist to observe the qi of the adults."

After the words fell, the man took out a talisman from his arms and pinched it with two fingers. The talisman spontaneously ignited, emitting a burst of smoke that lingered and enveloped Pan Xiang inside. Then, he made seals with both hands and muttered something in his mouth. Finally, he opened his mouth and spit out one word: "Jiu!"

The word turned into a sound wave and fell on Pan Xiang. The surrounding smoke suddenly rolled and rose, floating to Pan Xiang's shoulders and head, and three flowers faintly condensed, floating like fire.

blessing! Lu! life!

This is a Taoist qi-gazing method. It can show the three fires on the shoulders through the smoke of the talisman fire. Although it is not clear, you can feel some connections. However, if the Taoist cultivator has condensed the heavenly soul, naturally there is no need to do this. Trouble, as soon as the soul leaves the body and is enveloped by the heavenly soul, you can roughly feel your luck and your feet.

Pan Xiang's three fires of Fortune, Luxu and Shou were particularly strong, especially the Lu fire, which shot straight to the roof, like a pillar of smoke!

But when he saw this, Taoist Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "No! Although the three fires of fortune, wealth and longevity have not dimmed, they are swaying violently. Sir, someone is casting a spell on you. They want to bypass the official aura and invade. mind!"

"What!" Pan Xiang was shocked, "Someone is doing this? What kind of evil person is this? To impress the imperial officials? Don't you mean that people from outside the country dare not offend Longting? Why are there still people so bold?" At this point, he His expression changed again, "Could it be a swamp man?"

Taoist Lin said: "Naturally, people from outside don't dare to offend Longting. With official aura to protect you, external evil can hardly get close to you. It's just that the person who is casting the spell now has great magical powers. I don't know what method he used to bypass it." The Qi of the Longting Palace and the Qi of the Protective Officer go straight into the soul."

The more he spoke, the paler Pan Xiang's face became, and later he even started to tremble.

Seeing Pan Xiang's expression, Taoist Lin came back to his senses and said quickly: "Sir, there is no need to panic. You are exhausted now. You will feel sleepy later. Once you enter the dreamland, you will be captured by that person's spirit." , interferes with dreams, disrupts memory and will, but Pindao has a way to hide it from the sky. "

"Taoist Master, help me!" After hearing this, Pan Xiang hurriedly asked for help, but Wu Gang couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

Taoist Lin stroked his beard, smiled lightly, and then whispered a few words to Pan Xiang.

"Brilliant plan! Wonderful plan! The Taoist priest is really a master!" Pan Xiang praised him repeatedly after hearing this, and then called for others.

"Everyone stand still and listen to the Taoist Master's instructions." Pan Xiang's spirit became more and more depressed, as if he would fall asleep at any time. If Wuhan Steel hadn't used his true energy to continue his energy and blood, he would have lost consciousness long ago.

The two servants were called over in a hurry. They didn't know why, but after hearing this, they all stood up.

Later, Taoist Lin took out the cinnabar and yellow paper from his arms, held his breath attentively, mobilized his mind and soul, and then solemnly wrote a few talismans.

The pen moves the soul, and the spells and spiritual energy draw it into the paper and are preserved with cinnabar, but the spiritual energy stirs up, and several pieces of talisman paper burn and turn into ashes.

Shaking his head, Taoist Lin felt regretful, but he started writing again. A quarter of an hour later, after a lot of effort, he wrote three pieces.

"It's done!"

As soon as the talismans were formed, his breath was much weaker and his face was pale. He turned his wrist and stuck two of the talismans behind the two servants, then pinched the seal to cast the spell.

"even!"

As soon as the words fell, the servant fell to the ground, unconscious, and his thoughts came out and merged into the talisman in Taoist Lin's hand.

"Although I can't compare to that person's magical power, the Taoist method is based on one mind and is not based on strength. If you use it skillfully, you can even use your five fingers to see the universe!" Taoist Lin said and walked away. He went over and put a talisman on his hand on Pan Xiang's forehead.

Suddenly, thoughts rippled from his forehead, passed into the talisman paper, and then followed the connection to the minds of the two servants.

The next moment, I saw the servant trembling all over. But Pan Xiang's energy and energy became more and more abundant, and his fatigue and sleepiness were all gone.

Not long after, the three talismans burned at the same time, and the ashes scattered.

After a few breaths, the comatose servant woke up, and what greeted them was Pan Xiang's inquiry.

"Second Master, I just had a dream. I dreamed that the Swamp People were attacking. Countless people were killed, and Jiannan Road fell into chaos."

"Yes, I dreamed about it too, and finally the Ban people came. Attacking from the west..."

The two servants could only recognize a few big characters. Pan Xiang asked them to describe the dream. Although he said one word at a time, it was obviously inappropriate. It's confusing.

"Swamp man?" Pan Xiang's body no longer looked strange, and he returned to his wise-cracking appearance, analyzing calmly. "Since the swamp people appear in the dream, it is really possible that the swamp people are plotting against me behind my back, but why are there the swamp people?"

There was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

At this moment, a servant said slightly uneasily: "Second Master, I dreamed of you just now. First you led the troops to fight majestically, but in the end you fell into the enemy's scheme and fell into the sword..."

Pan Xiang's expression changed: "What a mess! I have already set up a dragnet to coordinate the overall situation. How could I fall into someone else's scheme? It seems that someone wants to mess with my mind!"

………………

At the same time, in the library, Qiu Yan's living soul exited from the secret compartment, and the complete bamboo slips of "Encouraging Learning" had been condensed in the bookshelf of his soul.

The soul swam like a fish in an instant, passed through the wall, passed by the person in the painting, and returned to the empty and silent study, without seeing anything out of the ordinary.

"Does the Pan family know that there is a hidden compartment behind this painting? The guards may have been a little negligent, but having said that, the Pan family has passed down poems and books to the family and does not have many magical powers to prevent elegant thieves. But when encountering monks, they still have to rely on murals. Everything else is Superfluous. Each of the people in these paintings is a master. If I hadn't condensed the fragments of "Encouragement to Learning" in my soul, it would be difficult to appease them. This is still an unintentional theft of notes. Otherwise, as soon as I have the idea of ​​stealing, I will be captured by this mural immediately. You know, it’s hard to be good.”

Qiu Yan had made some preparations in advance for this operation, but the only ones he actually used were blinders and divine barriers.

"I just constructed a dream in Pan Xiang's mind and deduced the information collected from the people in the marsh and the people in the Fan. Although Pan Xiang is arrogant, he is not a fool. He should be able to see the problems inside, so he can use the plan calmly, arrange it, and achieve success. A great victory! It’s like giving him a free achievement, repaying the cause of the “Encouragement to Study”, and further strengthening his relationship with his aunt and cousin.”

Qiu Yan's living soul had just used "Encouragement to Learn" as a guide to enter the hearts of others and deduce the dream, hoping to make Pan Xiang wake up in advance, but he didn't know that there were other changes.

With this idea in mind, Qiu Yan returned to his senses and immediately started writing quickly. He wrote the first paragraph of "Encouraging Learning" on the paper, then put down his pen and blew the calligraphy.

The servant was deceived by the blindness. In his eyes, Qiu Yan had been writing slowly. When he saw Qiu Yan writing, he quickly took it over and held it carefully.

Afterwards, Qiu Yan stayed in the library for a long time before leaving, but during this period he did not see Pan Xiang.

In the next few days, with the help of the kitchen statue, Qiu Yan often used his spiritual thoughts to spy on Pan's house, but there was still no movement. When Pan Xiang discussed military affairs with others, he had no intention of guarding against the people. It was as if he had never experienced that dream. Everything Business as usual.

Although Qiu Yan was puzzled by this, he could only sigh.

"Do your best and obey destiny."

Humanity is extremely good, and he has done everything he can do.

"For the sake of safety, we'd better ask the Zhang Mansion to take my uncle's family to the north of Jiannan Road first, just in case something unexpected happens."

A few days later, when the time for the provincial examination came, Qiu Yan organized and put everything he needed into the examination basket. No matter what, he still had to take part in the imperial examination, but before leaving, he suddenly had a whim and used the Li Gua as a guide. , divined a hexagram.

Ding ding ding!

Several copper plates rotated and stopped, forming several figures one after another.

"No hexagram?"

Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw the hexagram.

"Is it going to be peaceful? Is this going to turn around? I don't know whether it means passing the provincial examination or competing on the frontier." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
