Gu Liubai replied with a bow and asked seriously, "What kind of true qi method is Xue County Magistrate practiced? Can you tell me?"
Xue Jingxian said, "It is the righteous skill of Tiandu Sect."
Gu Liubai took out a yellowed bamboo slip from his arms and said, "I have a method of practicing, which is almost the same as the method of the righteous qi technique, but the speed of practice or the method of using true qi is much more powerful than the righteous qi technique. If you are interested, just follow the practice."
Xue Jingxian was shocked. He immediately wanted to salute and thank him again, but Gu Liubai waved his hand to stop him. "Prince Xue, I think you are a capable person, but you still lack a name to do these things. I will try to contact Duke Pei and first mention you as the magistrate of Chencang County. If you make any achievements, you will be appointed as the prefect of Fufeng."
Xue Jingxian smiled bitterly instead.
It’s not that I feel that the task is long and the future is unpredictable, but I think who is the young man in front of me? Even an official position like Fufeng Prefect can promise this.
If someone else said this to him, he would definitely think that the other party was just boasting about it. It was unlikely that the promise would be fulfilled, but now looking at Gu Liubai's eyebrows, he knew that this person must be absolutely sure.
Xue Jingxian took the yellow bamboo slips, but couldn't help asking, "If Han Yumo could practice this method, could he practice it?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "You'd better stop harming Captain Han, just let him and Ansheng help you train soldiers well. He is a loyal person, and he is a trustworthy person, but you must know how much ability he has. It's good to help you train soldiers with a lower level. If your cultivation is high, would you feel at ease to let him go out for a chivalrous and righteousness, or would you dare to let him go out to lead troops to fight?"
Xue Jingxian thought about it and felt that it was.
He also saw that Gu Liubai had no intention of keeping him anymore, so he stood up and said, "I wish you a triumphant success."
Gu Liubai smiled and said nothing more.
Xue Jingxian went down the building and saw an old man waved to him. He recognized that this was the three old men following Gu Liubai. He also heard Han Qiumo talk about the cultivation of these three old men, so he immediately followed him.
The old man took him to walk in the alley. When he led him out of Huaiya Town and to the forest where Han Yumo and others were waiting, he handed Xue Jingxian another package, and then said goodbye without saying anything.
Xue Jingxian looked at the old man's back with some emotion. He opened the package and looked at it. He found that in addition to some silver, there were also some clay pots with either the words "transforming qi or condensing qi". He opened the clay pot and looked at it, and smelled the medicinal qi. He knew that these should be elixirs to assist in practice.
"Old Xue, who is this Mr. Liang?"
When Xue Jingxian took the lead and got on the horse for a while, Han Yumo couldn't help asking.
Xue Jingxian shook his head and said, "Maybe at least a child of the Li family, but we know that his identity is not good for him. If we fall into the hands of Yuchi Dian and Sheng Ying, his identity will be easily exposed."
Han Yumo nodded, Xue Jingxian lowered his voice again and said, "If we are besieged by the enemy and we cannot escape, among the subordinates you have saved, those who may tell their situation against the enemy, if you don't kill them, I will also kill you."
Han Qiumo had already figured out the truth, and at this time he didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed and said, "I know."
Xue Jingxian rode his horse for a while, but couldn't help but feel curious. He took out the bamboo slip from his sleeve, opened it and looked at it in the moonlight.
After just a few glances, his face changed color.
The method recorded on this bamboo slip does not even write the name, but it is not only much more powerful than the righteous qi technique he practiced? This is simply not a thing of the same level.
...
Gu Liubai looked at Xu Shijie calmly and said, "What do you say?"
Two more beads of sweat appeared on Xu Shijie's chin. He thought for a while and said, "I don't agree with General Sheng Ying and others' actions, but General Yuchi has been recreating me. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago."
Gu Liubai said, "If you made this choice, I might be able to let you live in normal times, but I'm afraid I can't."
Xu Shijie smiled bitterly, "I know."
Gu Liubai said, "Your life was returned to Yuchi Dian, so do you think the Tang Dynasty has no kindness to you?"
It was not until this time that Xu Shijie reached out to wipe the sweat from his face and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Gu Liubai said, "There are only so many people here in Huaiya Town. Although he is not very capable of staying up late, his position as a county magistrate is not low in Fufeng County. Moreover, the military situation like Nanzhao will be specially conveyed here. Why is this?"
Xu Shijie did not hesitate, "General Sheng Ying has always been like this. If the military situation can be transmitted smoothly, the generals above the ranks of the school will be well-known and can temper their military information transmission capabilities. At the same time, officers of all levels will know the specific situation on the entire battlefield, so as to avoid misjudgment and being divided and surrounded, and will also give generals of all levels a certain ability to support themselves."
Shen Ruoruo couldn't help but complain, "This Sheng Ying is many times stronger than Li Xianyu. If he had been to Nanzhao to command the army, even if he could not defeat that Pi Hetuo, he would not have been defeated so miserably."
Gu Liubai frowned, Huaiya Town was also a stronghold for the garrison. Such military information could arrive here so quickly. You should know that although Shangguan Zhaoyi and He Haixin had already made arrangements, they had not received the emergency military information from the destruction of the Jiannan Jiedushi from their own people at this time.
Sheng Ying attaches so much importance to the ability to transmit military intelligence, and it is not like this in wartime. It is usually the case. Then the opponent will be more difficult than he imagined. If Sheng Ying knew their whereabouts and came to surround them and killed them with determination, it would be even more difficult for them to escape.
However, the emergency military information of Nanzhao must be transmitted to the temporary garrison at this speed, and he felt that there must be a deeper reason.
"Do you have family?" Gu Liubai thought for a while, then looked at Xu Shijie and asked.
Xu Shijie's body shook and he lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Gu Liubai said, "You provide useful military information. After the Duke Pei army quells the rebellion, I can guarantee that your family will not be punished for you. As for Yuchi Dian, it would be fine if I didn't encounter it. If I encounter it, I can give him some pleasure."
Xu Shijie took a deep breath, he calmed down a lot, bowed carefully to thank him.
Gu Liubai said, "The general above you asked you to station in this Huaiya Town. What else did you do besides asking you to arrest those who might spread dislikes against them?"
Xu Shijie looked at Gu Liubai and said, "Your guess with the county magistrate Xue, you have good guesses before. Let us station in such a town to ensure the safety of merchants. You can open the business to do whatever business. During this period, no one is allowed to stop easily. For those who close their business, we have to check the reasons. As long as we work normally and operate normally, we will provide certain subsidies to the guardian of the town. Therefore, although the villagers and merchants in these towns are afraid of us, they can afford it. Most of them are happy. Moreover, many of them who originally did not make much money are still actively helping us. Those who help us guard the intersections around the town are all settled in the town."
Shen Ruoru frowned and said, "It was indeed a bribe. Therefore, Zheng Zhu and other old subordinates did not want money to flow out at all. Although they now ask the county magistrates and officials of all levels of the county to do their jobs for them, they actually did not want these officials to privately protect their relatives and some wealthy families related to them to run out of Fufeng County. That is why they have to send these people to guard the town and seem to ensure public order, and secretly make some cultivators and elite soldiers disguised as deserters, pirates, and rob rich families who want to escape."
Gu Liubai sneered, "The news is so well-informed, I'm afraid that a rich family in some place will have just left, and the person who intercepted the outside world has already learned the news and is preparing. People like Xue County Wei and others will be dealt with sooner or later, even if they don't express any dissatisfaction, they will be dealt with sooner or later. Sooner or later, they will be slowly cleaned up by them and replaced by the military."
Xu Shijie looked at Gu Liubai and said, "We are soldiers like us who don't think about the profound plans behind our backs. We will do whatever the military orders ask us to do. Apart from these, I do know nothing."
Gu Liubai thought for a while and said, "Do something help me do?"
Xu Shijie said, "What's the matter?"
Gu Liubai said, "Let me inform me of military information to your boss, saying that someone killed Su Yanghui and Qi Lianhexiu and asked them to collect the body."
Xu Shijie shook his head and said, "I don't need to send a message specifically. Regardless of whether there is a special military situation, we need to release the pigeons to contact the upper peak twice a day, once in the early morning and once in the night. Qi Lianhexiu did not contact the upper peak at night. According to time, General Yuchi probably knew that he had an accident, and he was afraid that a cavalry had arrived. If you want to leave, hurry up."
Shen Ruoruo immediately twitched his tongue, "Sheng Ying is indeed a hundred times stronger than Li Xianyu."
Gu Liubai glanced at Xu Shijie, stood up, and said, "Then I'll take you on the way."
Xu Shijie nodded. Before he closed his eyes, he saw the young man's figure move, and instantly hit his voice like a ghost. A bitter cold instantly hit his throat.
His whole body froze and his eyes flashed, but Gu Liubai was already standing next to the middle-aged woman.
Xu Shijie sighed in his heart, these clans in Chang'an are so powerful.
He was about to welcome death, but unexpectedly found that he seemed to have not been injured, and the chill in his throat instantly faded.
Gu Liubai looked at him with a shocked face calmly and said, "You can help both sides. You have family. It's better to be alive than die. Go towards Youfang Fort and go to T-Water. We will arrange people to wait for you there. When the war is over, you will come back."
Xu Shijie looked at Gu Liubai in disbelief, but Gu Liubai stopped saying anything and turned around and left.
Chen Ruoru followed Gu Liubai in the alley in Huaiya Town and whispered, "You are the ones you don't let you kill, do you want to kill, do you want to kill, do you not kill."
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I am so entangled."
Chen Ruoruo sighed, "I still like your entangled look. But the salted fish is too useless. It is defeated so simply and thoroughly. Not only does Nanzhao become a hidden danger that cannot be removed for the time being, not only can the gold, silver and treasures of the wrecked dogs in Tubo be provided here, but Pi Hetuo can also free up hands to support this place. The longer the delay is here, the more I owe Miss Pei Er."
"This trip is dangerous." Gu Liubai became solemn and said, "Sheng Ying's generals can use so many carrier pigeons, and it may not be impossible to raise other birds or animals for war. Zheng Zhu dared to fight the Lin Dang to the death. Maybe there was the old man from Goryeo behind him. Now if Sheng Ying and Situ Qingcheng can use beast control methods to search for us, let alone assassinate them, we would be very lucky not to be trapped by their army."
Chen Ruoruo stuck out his tongue and said, "If you are really surrounded and you can't even help me, you will kill me as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be able to bear the tens of thousands of people."
Gu Liubai staggered under his feet, "What are you thinking every day?"
Chen Ruoruo didn't joke with him. She knew that since Gu Liubai mentioned the beast-controlling method of the Goryeo Taoist, he would be careful or use it in turn. She became serious and said, "I think Li Xianyu's defeat must be within the emperor's expectations. He just wanted the people from the Li family to see. If the people from the Li family wanted to use the method of hoarding troops and horses to restrain him, it would be a great harm to the Li family and the Tang Dynasty. But I just think that supporting Li Xianyu is from the selfish intentions of some people in the Li family. The emperor followed the flow and let such an indisputable fact float in front of the Li family, which might intensify the conflicts inside the Li family. Li family is intermittent with the internal clique. I don't know if the emperor can take advantage of it, but it will definitely not benefit these wars in the Tang Dynasty."
"First solve the Chang'an problem, and then slowly clean up the outside problem? Or is the Chang'an problem belonging to him and Xuanqing, and the outside problem belonging to me?" Gu Liubai smiled self-deprecatingly. He looked at Xiao Zhenwei and Shangguan Zhaoyi who were protecting Shangguan Zhaoyi to pass the message. After meeting them, he said seriously, "According to Xu Shiyu's words, Yuchi Dian or the Qilian Canglan's men, maybe they are almost there to kill Qilian Hexiu. Tonight I will take Zhaoyi to meet them first, see what methods they have, and then see if they can do something to mislead them."
The others had no objection, but Chen Ruoruo was depressed and said softly, "Why don't you bring me with you?"
"Your cultivation is too high, and sometimes you can't hide it even if you want to cover it up. Zhaoyi's cultivation is suitable. My true qi cultivation looks only seventh grade." Gu Liubai looked at Chen Ruoruo and explained helplessly, "Your qi is unique. Even those who stay at home will feel different when they look at you. If you have a powerful qi-seeking method, your qi is too easy to reveal your qi."
Chen Ruoru glanced at Shangguan Zhaoyi and suddenly felt that he could not always dominate Gu Shiwu. She immediately felt no aggrieved and pulled Gu Liubai and Shangguan Zhaoyi and whispered, "Gu Shiwu, then you have to be careful. You have to take good care of Zhaoyi's sister. If something happens, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops here, she can't stand it."
Shangguan Zhaoyi was stunned. The moment she realized her words about tigers and wolves, her face turned red, but she was not a good-for-easy lamp, and immediately spat, "You seem to be able to eat."
"I can't bear it anymore." Gu Liubai couldn't help but shake his head. At this time, he realized that Chen Ruoruo repeatedly said this because she felt that the situation was a bit bad, and she was afraid that Gu Liubai would be negligent. After all, Gu Liubai was killing all directions in Chang'an, and was afraid that he would be a little complacent because of this.
But when Chen Ruoruo said this, every time what came to his mind was the woman who was ravaged by Qi Lianhexiu and the soldiers under him.
He restrained Qi Lianhexiu and handed it over to the woman to avenge him. After the woman bit Qi Lianhexiu to death, he looked at her eyes and Gu Liubai knew that she could not survive.
Sure enough, even if she was given some spiritual medicine, she would obviously not die and her vitality should be strong, but she just sat facing the river and her breath was cut off.
Perhaps no matter how good the elixir is, it cannot save the deadly person. When she climbed the river bank, she was already dead, just a revenge ghost.
Just thinking of this woman, his heart was naturally full of murderous intent.
