The convoy is ready to go.

As a escort, Ali and Buda brothers escorted Sun Heart to Xijing with thirty Gubon warriors to fulfill their engagement with King Chengxian.

The Sun Heart said goodbye to her father and sister with tears in her eyes. The patriarch and everyone saw her off ten miles away. She left Lingding Sea and stepped onto this grassland again. I don’t know what year or month it was.

Little Manu couldn't bear to leave Xiao Jinyan, and hugged his thigh and said, "Master, I can't bear to leave you."

After a few days of getting along, Xiao Jinyan was also very manu. Although he did not formally become a disciple, he regarded him as his first disciple in his heart. He reminded, "Did I remember your sword technique?"

"Remember!"

"These ten unknown sword techniques were passed down from the sword-dodged sword Xu Kaishan. If you practice diligently, your future achievements will be as good as the Western Chu Crazy Sword. You must study hard and understand them carefully. Within ten years, you will become the number one master on the grassland!"

"I will definitely not let my master down. Master, will we see you again?"

Xiao Jinyan knew that this parting would probably never meet again in the future. He was used to seeing the parting and was quite free and easy about it. However, when he saw Xiao Manu's look of anticipation, he couldn't help but lie to him, "When you become the number one master in the grassland, we will see you again!"

Crescent Spring did not say goodbye to Xiao Jinyan. After last night's incident, Xiao Jinyan was unable to face this arrogant and arrogant girl with a clear distinction between love and hate. After getting on the carriage, Sun Heart rarely showed up. During the day, he followed behind and in his spare time, he competed with the Ali and Buda brothers.

Ali and Buda grew up on the grassland and did not undergo systematic martial arts training. They have always relied on brute force to hone their experiences with the Huole tribe and other tribes. The swordsmanship is very practical. Anyway, Xiao Jinyan talks and exchanges his experiences with them, and the two have benefited a lot.

After a few days of travel, the convoy drove out of the Lingding Sea and arrived at the shore of Liuli Lake. In a few days, the Gubang clan moved here to spend the winter. Liuli Lake was at the foot of Mule Mountain. The monsoon in the south was blocked by Mule Mountain and stayed here, so the winter was not too cold.

Along the way, Xiao Jinyan saw dozens of Western Chu troops heading east, hundreds, or three to five thousand, with varying numbers. After asking, he realized that the Western Chu army had started war with the Ming Dynasty's Western Army at Hulukou. These soldiers were the soldiers summoned from various places in Western Chu territory and were ordered to go to Hengduan Mountain to support Hulukou. Many Western Chu soldiers were with a sad face, and they should be the tyrants who were temporarily captured by various tribes.

The weather was gloomy and suddenly someone said, "It's snowing!"

Xiao Jinyan looked up and a drizzled snow in the sky. Only then did Xiao Jinyan realize that it had been a whole year since he left the Central Plains.

Over the past year, he and Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang have turned the middle of Shu. Yinyang has turned upside down. Zhao Langjiang became famous in the battle of Yinyang and became a famous hero in the Western Xinjiang. It is said that now the people of Northern Zhou mentioned Zhao Langjiang as the name of Zhao Langjiang, which can stop babies from crying at night. Not only Zhao Langjiang, but Li Qingcheng's martial arts have also been improved several times. After Li Qingcheng killed Li Guangzu, he realized the six paths of reincarnation sword intent and entered the Tongxiang Realm.

However, Xiao Jinyan himself successfully fell to the Wen Realm after his adventures. However, after killing a Tongxiang master in Hengduan Mountain, no one in the world dared to underestimate this young man in Wen Realm. Unlike ordinary martial artists, he used the unique string power in his body to embark on another road to the peak of martial arts. In the words of Yuwen Tianlu, the ordinary third level and ninth grade could no longer measure his martial arts cultivation. No matter how powerful they were in the Western Xinjiang, they did not cause too much trouble in the Central Plains martial arts world. After years of silence, this year, the Central Plains martial arts suddenly showed a blowout, and many new masters emerged.

After Yuwen Tianlu was announced by the court to rebel, the entire Yixiaotang was purged by several forces in the martial arts world overnight. The business they controlled was redistributed, and the major sects re-determined the sphere of influence. In this process, the leader of the martial arts world, Zuostein, accepted the emperor's edict and became the legitimate leader of the martial arts world.

After being suppressed by Yixiaotang and various sects for several years, the Wulin Alliance finally became proud and became the management agency of the Jianghu forces. It was incomparable to the previous position of Xiao Jinyan when he was the leader of the martial arts alliance. The Wulin Alliance held a swordsmanship conference on the top of Huashan Mountain. The four major families, eight sects and various gangs sent people to attend and re-determine the status of the Wulin Alliance. During the Huashan debate, the major masters of the Central Plains re-ranked the seats, and Xiaosheng Jianghu took the opportunity to abolish the three lists of heaven, earth and man and the ranking of sect forces. As expected, the four major families and eight sects almost monopolized the top 100 in the rankings, especially the four major families. They have kept their strengths in recent years and did not hide their own personalities this time. They have also brought the hidden forces to the table, and dozens of Tongxiang masters suddenly emerged from the world.

And all of this is for one word: profit.

The world is prosperous and everything comes for profit.

The world is bustling, and it is all for profit.

Zuostein also reformed the rivers and lakes, and divided the sects of the world into seven major areas: Central Plains Wulin, Jiangnan Wulin, Lingnan Wulin, Guandong Wulin, Shuzhong Wulin, Longxi Wulin, Xijiang Wulin, etc. Each area is managed by one to three sects, unified by six gates, and dispatched by the Wulin Alliance.

For example, the martial arts in Shu are managed by the Emei Sect and the Qingcheng Sect. In this way, when encountering disputes between the rivers and lakes, the martial arts in each area can be resolved within the region. There are two benefits to doing this. First, it can resolve disputes and effectively dispatch resources in the rivers and lakes; second, Zuostein also retained his selfishness, allowing the four major families and eight major sects to constrain each other, and also create disputes.

The world's world, water and land trade, the three religions and the nine ranks, green forest bandits, and escorts and martial arts halls all belonged to each other, changing the situation where several families were dominant in the past. Because of this, the major sects and families did not dare to hide their own personalities. In order to win more benefits, they exposed the strength of the sects and clans. It has to be said that this move is extremely clever.

The younger generation also emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain. Li Qianjue, the head of the Emei Sect’s Jade Girl Sword, Tang Bujing, the passionate sword Bai Yunfei, and the romantic young master Qin Ziyou, became the four young handsome heroes in the world.

Among the four major families, the Cui family in Longxi, the Liu family in Hedong, and the Zheng family in Xingyang also produced many talents. Cui Shouxin, Liu Tiannan and Zheng Shibai became the three masters of the martial arts world. Only the Li family in Jinling, Li Qingcheng, who had previously ranked seventh in the list, seemed to disappear from the world and was not on the list.

As soon as Yuwen Tianlu died, the power of the court also underwent some subtle changes. In addition to Dingbei King Xue Huai, His Majesty the Emperor adjusted his personnel one after another, and three of the five elders of the cabinet were replaced, and officials from Yu Yuwen Tianlu's lineage were replaced.

The position of Grand Commander of the Western Army in the Ming Dynasty was the Ministry of War and the Cabinet once suggested that Fang Shuo, deputy general of Pingnan, be appointed. After the memorial was put forward, His Majesty the Emperor stayed at the post and did not issue it, and this position was vacant.

The officials of the three departments and six ministries also promoted young people in an extraordinary way. Among these people, two were like the ancestral tombs that were smoked, and were promoted to the Ministry of Justice. One was Li Guangding, the Minister of Personnel, who was promoted from a magistrate in southern Fujian to the Left Minister of Personnel within half a year; the other was Su Zhengyuan, who was promoted from a general captain of Liushumen in Suzhou to the Department of Justice, and commanded the Six Gates.

However, Li Chuntie of Dengwenyuan killed Yuwen Tianlu. After returning to the capital, Emperor Zhu Liye did not give a reward, but only gave a meal and gave a few words of praise. Li Chuntie had no complaints. He lived in the capital and refused all visitors. Although the Dengwenyuan system was established, their power was gradually taken back as soon as Yuwen Tianlu died.

Tuoba Niu people died in battle, Northern Zhou was severely injured in Western Xinjiang, Dingbei King Xue Huai occupied Shenxiangou, and the overall situation of the whole world underwent earth-shaking changes. Now, the Ming Dynasty dominates its own power, and it seems that it is only a matter of time.

...

"Report to the Saint, Xiao Jinyan has passed Liuli Lake and set out for Xijing."

A subordinate was reporting Xiao Jinyan's whereabouts to Dongfang Nuannuan. Not far away, Yu Wenshuang sat on the carriage and looked at them calmly. During this period, she and the Demon Sect entered Western Chu together and followed Xiao Jinyan's whereabouts, and Dongfang Nuannuan did not hesitate to her.

Yu Wenshuang tried to break open the accused acupuncture, but this way of controlling the acupuncture was unheard of. With her power in Zhixuan, it was never possible to crack it. She had thought of escaping, but Dongfang Nuannuan sent people to follow her in an endless stream, as well as the guards of masters such as Zhao Wuji, Ren Pengju, and Duan Yufei. It was difficult to escape than climb to the sky.

What's more, there is a scheming Dongfang Nuannuan by her side. Yuwenshuang has never seen her take action, but her every move is full of grandmaster spirit. What's more, she is moody and if she is murderous, no one will persuade her to do so. Just yesterday, a maid accidentally dirty her clothes and was beaten to death by her order.

Dongfang Nuannuan nodded and said, "Continue to follow."

Yuwenshuang asked, "Why do you want to follow him?"

Princess Dongfang Nuannuan smiled and said, "Sister, do you really don't understand, or pretend to be confused when you understand? He has the secret of the martial arts scriptures and also has Zhang Benchu's fortune map of mountains and rivers. You like him, isn't it because of these two treasures?"

Yuwen Shuang said coldly, "I like him just because he is Xiao Jinyan. That's all!"

Dongfang Nuannuan laughed, "You like him, but he may not like you either. Men, they say something and do something in their hands. Their words are not trustworthy at all."

Yu Wenshuang teased, "What an unbearable childhood you have spent, even your basic judgment is distorted."

"Bang!"

Dongfang Nuannuan couldn't stand her sarcasm, and he slapped Yuwenshuang on the face. Yuwenshuang's cheeks were so painful, and blood flowed down the corner of her mouth. She said viciously, "You are the eldest lady in Duke Anguo's mansion. Of course, you don't know the pain I have suffered over the years. As long as I can remember, I have lived a life of hiding from all over the world. I have never been in a place for more than two years. Until I found Fengyun Island, I could live a stable life. And all of this is thanks to your father!"

When Yuwen Tianlu seized power and replaced Dongfang Buliang and mastered the Divine Divine Cult, he used the power of the Divine Divine Cult to make great contributions to the emperor in the Battle of Jingnan. After being granted the title of Duke, Yixiaotang was established on the basis of the original Divine Divine Cult, which controlled nearly half of the world. For twenty years, Yuwen Tianlu had never given up on the pursuit of the Divine Divine Cult. In a sense, Dongfang Nuannuan said these words were true.

Thinking that his father had passed away, Yu Wenshuang's eyes were a little red.

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "It's a pity that he died, and died at the hands of others. Otherwise, I would have the intention to kill this person with my own hands!"

"Why don't you kill me?"

"Kill you?" Dongfang Nuannuan looked at her with disdain, "It's better to be alive than to die. At least, you have some use in my hands. If a person has no use value, there is no difference between living and dying."

She pointed to a man not far away and asked, "Li Renjie, is it useful to live?"

Li Renjie said, "I am alive, to kill Zhao Langjiang!"

On that day, the young master of Yinyang City, the domineering Li Renjie, had become extremely well-behaved after Zhao Wuji's "Love Stick". But Yu Wenshuang saw that he seemed obedient, and occasionally showed a sinister look in his eyes, just like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark and spitting out a letter at any time, which made her very uncomfortable.

Dongfang Nuannuan asked: "Can you kill Zhao Lianjiang?"

Li Renjie said respectfully, "With the teachings of the saints and my divine martial arts, one day, I will definitely take off his head and make polos for the saints."

"Haha!" Dongfang Nuannuan laughed, "I'm afraid you're not sincere."

"I don't dare."

"Don't dare? Don't want? Or don't dare? "Don't dare? "Don't dare?" Dongfang Nuannuan's eyes became cold. "You have a little idea in your heart. I know it clearly. However, I would like to advise you, before martial arts can be mastered, you should do your best to do your best to do your best to do your business for me."

Li Renjie sweated like a slurry and kowtowed and apologized, "I will do my best to do my best to help the saint unify the world!"

Dongfang Nuannuan said, "What's the use of unifying the world?" She looked at the southernmost mountain in the mainland and thought to herself, "I have higher ambitions." But these words, she couldn't tell her subordinates, or Yu Wenshuang.

Dongfang Nuannuan left the carriage, leaving only Yu Wenshuang alone secretly sad. She couldn't see through what the woman, who was two years younger than her, was thinking in her heart. Then she thought, "Now I am a fish and a knife. I don't care what she wants or find a way to escape."

Just a few months ago, she was the daughter of the Grand Commander, Princess Ningling, and she responded to the world. Now that time has changed, a generation of geniuses have become wanted criminals in the court and were imprisoned by the enemy that day. This gap is not something ordinary people can bear, but Yu Wenshuang has been independent since childhood. Over the past few days, Xiao Jinyan has been confused by Xiao Jinyan. Now she has calmed down and started to think about countermeasures. Dongfang Nuannuan imprisoned herself in order to threaten Xiao Jinyan in exchange for the whereabouts of the Wu Jing and the fortune of the mountains and rivers. Now Xiao Jinyan is in their control, so she has to find a way to escape quickly.

...

South of Hengduan Mountain, Hulukou.

After receiving the Hulukou request for help, Zhao Langjiang led 3,000 white horses, 1,000 crossbowmen from the Huozi camp, and 5,000 Western troops to Hulukou for support.

After the Northern Zhou retreated, the situation in Yinyang City had stabilized, and Zhao Langjiang's reputation in Yinyang City also reached its peak. The people of Yinyang finally accepted this foreigner as the city lord. After quelling the civil strife, he guarded Li Yuanhu in Yinyang City and sent Li Xianzhong to lead people to defend the first line of heaven. After merging with Ye Erlang's remnants, he turned his horse's head and went to the gourd entrance.

The Ming Dynasty conquered the Western Army of Huozi. It was only severe when it was fighting with the Northern Zhou army. After Ye Erlang covered General Liang's retreat, he saw that the front line could not be protected, so he dispersed the army and carried out guerrilla warfare with the help of the terrain advantage. He thought he would be loyal to the exaggeration, but after persisting for several days, news of the Northern Zhou retreat came, so he summoned his old subordinates and surrendered to Zhao Langjiang.

Ten days ago, they had received the war report. The Western Chu army changed its stalemate and led its troops to attack Hulukou. Dong Dayou, deputy general of Hulukou in the Western Army, led his army to fight. After a few days, the entire Hulukou changed its command several times, and no one could occupy the top.

When Zhao Langjiang arrived, he saw the corpse on the gourd mouth, and the broken limbs and arms were in a mess. Dong Dayou was leading his troops to clean up the battlefield, but the bodies were piled up in one place, poured with tincture oil, and burned with fire.

If these corpses are not processed in time and become moldy, they are likely to cause plague. There are only two methods of flooding and burning.

The air is filled with a foul smell.

"Old Dong!"

Zhao Langjiang shouted, as an old man from Fengying, Dong Dayou fought side by side with him back then, and was familiar with Zhao Langjiang, but now he has become a guardian of Hulukou.

Dong Dayou scolded, "If you come a few days later, you may have to clean up for me!"

Although Zhao Langjiang came to support him, he used the identity of the Lord of Yinyang City. Zhao Langjiang held the Tiger Festival and could dispatch troops to conquer the Western Army. However, this Tiger Festival was given by Yuwen Tianlu. Although it was the general who recognized the talisman but not the person, when Yuwen Tianlu died, Zhao Langjiang's identity was a bit subtle, so Dong Dayou did not pay tribute to him according to the military regulations, but greeted him as an old friend.

Zhao Langjiang understood the relationship and said, "It's better to die, it's better to die, it's better to die!"

The two of them hit the shoulders, and Dong Dayou said, "I didn't think you would be able to Lai Yuan. Damn, it's said that the Western Chu soldiers are hard to fight. Today's battle is considered to be a witness." He pointed to the Hulukou Pass, "Including this time, this is the fourth time we have taken it back from the Chu people."

Zhao Langjiang looked at the half-fallen city wall, which was stained with blood. There were burning traces everywhere under the city wall. You can guess how tragic the war has been in the past few days.

In the battle yesterday, although the Western Army regained Hulukou, the granary was burned by the Western Chu army. Fortunately, Yinyang City had sufficient food. This time, Zhao Langjiang came and brought 30,000 stones of grain, solving the army's food crisis.

Zhao Langjiang asked, "How come Xi Chu suddenly took action?"

Dong Dayou said, "We caught a tongue and said that it was the order of the Xijing Imperial Court to the ground. Next month is the first anniversary of the ascension of the Western Chu Emperor. Someone has issued a military order to use Yinyang to knock down as a gift. Fuck him, I don't care about Yinyang City, but I don't ask if I have to pass the gourd mouth. I agree or not!"

Zhao Langjiang felt strange. Logically speaking, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was defeated and the power of Western Chu was unable to conquer the Ming Dynasty. Using the gourd mouth as the boundary, protecting one's own strength and preserving one's strength was the best strategy. How could it suddenly become abnormal?

While thinking, I suddenly heard someone coming to report, "Chu army is coming to attack!"
Chapter completed!
