Ask about the Immortal Way

.

The emperor is seriously ill.

All the thoughts of the various forces are focused on fighting for the big position.

The variables actually start from the outside.

'Snapped! ’

Yu Lang shook his hand, and the tea cup fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Ignoring the tea spilled on him, Yulang stared at the names on the emergency report.

Qi Mansion, Cizhen Mansion, Zhongning Mansion...

Without exception, they are all the capitals of Luzhou. The focus of this Daliang attack is Luzhou!

And the prince of Zhongning Mansion in Luzhou is none other than Chen Zhenqing, Master Chen!

The human world is no better than the world of cultivating immortals. There are communication talismans and spells, but the battle reports are lagging behind. When the Liang Kingdom invaded, several mansions almost immediately became isolated cities. It was already several days before the news was sent out and then reached the capital. No one knew about the deer. Can the state's officers and soldiers stop this sneak attack? What is the situation in the city now?

Among the Yan Kingdom, there were four states that bordered the Liang Kingdom.

Among the four states, Luzhou has experienced several wars, but its strategic position is not the most important. According to common sense, when Daliang invaded Yan, Luzhou was not the first choice.

Because of this, Yan State did not have the largest number of troops deployed in Luzhou.

After all, the prince is not the emperor, and it is taboo to interfere with military power. Yulang operates secretly, and at most he can send more guards to Zhongning Mansion.

There was no warning before the Daliang Kingdom attacked Luzhou. Yulang was close to the center and no relevant information was seen, which shows how covert the attack was.

Caught off guard, how long can Luzhou hold on?

How long can Zhongning Mansion hold on? !

‘Squeak! ’

A woman in goose-yellow brocade opened the door and walked in carrying a soup cup.

The woman has good looks, dignified manners, and a gentle look. She is the wife of Yulang Ming Matchmaker, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, whose surname is Mu Ming Yunwan.

"Husband, drink the ginseng soup."

Mu Yunwan glanced at the porcelain pieces on the ground, put down the soup cup, and said softly. At this moment, she suddenly came into contact with Yu Lang's eyes, and her heart suddenly clenched.

What kind of look is this, hesitant, helpless, panic, fear...

In the court, no matter how dangerous it is, her husband is always confident. She has never seen such a look on her husband.

"What happened?"

Mu Yunwan stretched out her catkins and gently held Yulang's palm, trying to comfort her husband with her tenderness.

Yulang woke up like a dream, "The person who delivered the message is still outside?"

Mu Yunwan hummed.

Yulang stood up suddenly, quickly took off his official uniform, opened the back window, and instead of going through the front door, he climbed through the window to go out.

When he was about to turn it out, Yulang seemed to remember, and turned around and said: "When Tao Qi comes, ask him to wait for me in the study, and then go to the East Palace when I come back!"

Without using his spiritual power, Yulang was also a genuine innate master, a proficient in light arts. He quickly left a sentence and hurriedly escaped into the darkness like a civet cat.

Mu Yunwan stood by the window, holding on to the window lattice tightly, looking at the dark night with worry on her face.

…

By the Yuyao Lake.

Qingyang Tea House.

Yulang left the Qin Mansion and rushed back without stopping, using Qinggong throughout the journey.

The urgent letter was placed in front of Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was not as panicked as Yu Lang. He was silent for a moment and said, "Master will not leave."

Yulang understood what the senior sister meant, and seemed to answer, but also seemed to comfort himself, "Zhongning Mansion is a city. Even if it is besieged by the enemy, it should not be broken so quickly..."

However, they all understand that the Liang Kingdom suddenly sent troops to invade the border. It must have been planned for a long time, and they must work together to gain the greatest benefits!

On the border, except for a few major passes, the so-called prefectural cities are all covered with moisture, and some of them are newly built on the remains of the old city. The city walls are probably stronger than those of ordinary county towns.

Yulang's tone was hard, "Master has an amulet on his body."

"Master will not leave!"

Xiao Wu repeated it again.

The amulet they gave to the Master was only used to prevent accidents and resist the spells of immortal cultivators. They could refine better amulets, but the ghosts and gods would not allow it.

Once you are surrounded by thousands of troops and armed with swords, your amulet will not be able to protect you.

Moreover, with Chen Zhenqing’s temperament, he must live and die with the people!

"I'm going to Zhongning Mansion!"

Xiao Wu pointed his finger between his eyebrows, a flash of light flashed, and with a 'bang' sound, a complex rune appeared and then suddenly shattered, as if a seal had been broken, Xiao Wu's cultivation was completely restored!

The next moment, Xiao Wu disappeared on the spot.

'Crash...'

The lake is rippling, and the sound of water at night is particularly clear, reaching Qingyang Tea House.

There were no candles lit in the room.

After Xiao Wu left, Yu Lang sat alone in the darkness, but did not leave for a long time at this critical moment when the situation was changing.

The senior sister went to Zhongning Mansion to save people. Immortal cultivators intervening in the mortal world were exactly what he hated most before.

At this moment, he couldn't stop it and didn't dare to stop it.

No matter what, he couldn't just watch Master Chen die.

Even though he knew clearly that if Master Chen insisted on not leaving and wanted to live and die with the Zhongning Mansion, the senior sister would definitely take action to force back the Daliang army.

The situation in the world and the fate of countless people will be changed because of one senior sister.

Yulang slowly bowed down and held his head with both hands.

The wind blows in.

A figure appeared next to him, it was a young man named Shi.

Not only did Yulang not stop his senior sister from rescuing people, he also made two preparations. If his senior sister could not break the seal, he would ask Brother Shi to go to Zhongning Mansion.

After understanding the whole story.

"Still can't figure it out? Haha, you will know in the future that there are many things in this world that you can't figure out!"

The young man surnamed Shi sighed slightly and patted Yu Lang's shoulder, "You should go back! If Master Chen died on the battlefield, he would have deserved his death. As long as you open your mouth, I will kill all the Liang Army for you, but this time you enter the world It’s meaningless. I think Master Chen has a spirit under the spring, and he would rather see you assist the prince in ascending the throne, strengthen the Yan Kingdom, defeat the Liang Kingdom in an upright manner, and avenge him!”

…

The official road was filled with people fleeing.

Today's night is extremely dark, and the people are exhausted and unable to move forward. As long as they had a trace of strength, they did not dare to stop. The enemy's army was behind them, and they could only flee to the interior.

Xiao Wu was flying in the sky, his eyes patrolling the ground.

When she entered Luzhou, she followed the official road leading to Zhongning Mansion. If Chen Zhenqing's family escaped from Zhongning Mansion, they would definitely take this road.

At this time, a familiar aura finally appeared in his spiritual sense, and Xiao Wu immediately landed.

On the side of the avenue, a carriage was moving forward slowly. The carriage did not look too luxurious. The driver was a tall and thick man with fierce eyes. He knew at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Sitting in the carriage were a mother and daughter.

The daughter nestled in her mother's arms and fell asleep.

The mother held her daughter in her arms, her face was pale with tears on her face, her body swayed with the bumps of the carriage, and she stared blankly at the darkness in front of her, her eyes unfocused.

This mother and daughter are Chen Zhenqing's wife, Chen Liu, and their daughter.

"Master's wife!"

Chen Liu didn't notice the sudden appearance of Xiao Wu. She was awakened by the scream and turned her eyes before she came back to her senses.

A dim light came on in the carriage.

Chen Liu was surprised when she recognized Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

"Master Wife, Master didn't go out of the city with you?" Xiao Wu had already had a premonition, but when he actually faced it, his heart was still extremely heavy.

"He found an opportunity to send us mother and daughter out of the city, but he was unwilling to leave. He vowed to live and die with the people in the city!"

Chen Liu held her daughter tightly in her arms and couldn't help but shed tears. Her tone was full of sadness, but also a hint of strength and pride, "He did it and fulfilled the vow he made back then!"

Xiao Wu was silent and looked in the direction of Zhongning Mansion.

At that time, Master Chen made his determination after drinking in Qingyang Temple, which is still vivid in my mind!

Thinking of something, Mrs. Chen Liu reached into her arms and took out a letter tremblingly.

After fleeing all the way and going through hardships and hardships, this letter was extremely well preserved without any wrinkles.

"This is what Zhenqing left for you."

Xiao Wu took it, opened the letter, and found that there were only eight words on it - die with the people, die without complaint!

The ink is a little smudged, obviously it was hastily put away before it was dry, but you can still feel the strong faith and determination from the iron painting and silver hook.

"Xiaowu..."

Chen Liu asked hesitantly, "Are you... not ordinary people?"

Xiao Wu was far away in the capital and suddenly appeared here. Even if he was riding the most powerful horse, he couldn't be that fast.

When they were in Qipai Village, the couple decided that Taoist Master Qingfeng was of extraordinary bearing and was a master hermit. The two disciples he taught were also among the best.

However, Chen Liu didn't know how extraordinary it was.

Seeing Xiao Wu nodding in recognition, Chen Liu's eyes gradually brightened, "Can you..."

"I'm going to Zhongning Mansion right now!"

Xiao Wu left a restriction on the carriage and continued flying towards Zhongning Mansion.

With her cultivation, she could reach Zhongning Mansion from here in an instant, but she slowed down, as if she was hesitating and didn't dare to approach the city.

Darkness covers the land.

Xiao Wu was flying alone, his speed had dropped to almost that of a flying bird, and he finally saw the city of Zhongning Prefecture.

I still remember that when I came here, Zhongning Mansion had been recuperating for many years and had gradually recovered its vitality, showing signs of prosperity. Now, in the city, countless torches illuminate the night sky, which also illuminates the ruins of the city, as well as the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Xiao Wu landed on a hill outside the city.

Standing there, looking at Fucheng silently.

She squeezed the letter left by her master with all her strength. The paper was made of the finest rice paper from the country of Yan. When blown by the night wind, it made a rustling sound like a white butterfly flying up and down.

Xiao Wu was as motionless as a sculpture.

There is the master's aura in the city, but it has lost its vitality.

She's late!

Anger, grief, regret, self-blame, sadness...

Xiao Wuwu didn't know how many emotions she had. It was too complicated, even more complicated than when Meng Yusu betrayed her. She didn't dare to go to the city to face it.

What should she do now?

Revenge?

Xiao Wu was a little confused and looked at the eight characters in his hand.

She could easily kill all the Da Liang army, but what does that mean?

This is a fight between two countries in the human world. If the murderer is found by force, everyone from the king to the soldiers can be regarded as the murderer, but no one has a personal grudge against Master Chen.

Moreover, when Master Chen had the opportunity to leave, he gave up and went to die calmly.

Die for the country, die for the people, die without complaint!

‘Whoa, whoa, whoosh…’

The night wind became stronger.

"Master, what should I do?"

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the deep night sky, then finally moved and walked down the mountain. She didn't use her escape technique, she just covered her tracks and walked towards the city step by step.

The city gate was smashed, and the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom had no intention of repairing it and were not prepared to stay here permanently.

On both sides of the avenue, corpses were dragged to the roadside and piled together, with blood flowing into rivers.

Xiaowu stepped on the bloody road and walked towards the government office.

The city was extremely noisy, and General Liang was celebrating their victory in the mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Xiao Wu's eyes were empty, as if he had not heard these sounds, and he came to the government office unconsciously.

The door of the government office was also broken. The guards at the door did not notice that a woman passed by them and walked in.

The main hall of the government office.

Now a large sand table has been set up, and the entire terrain of Luzhou can be seen at a glance.

There was only one person in the hall, and it was General Liang Guo who led this army. He held a candle and carefully examined the sand table, concentrating on deducing the battle situation.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside.

Someone reported outside the door, "General Qi, the identities of those corpses have been determined."

The general straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure it is really the Lord of Zhongning Mansion and not a substitute?"

The man outside the door replied: "It's the real person! This person's name is Chen Zhenqing, and he is very prestigious in Luzhou! Mr. Zuo asked if he should take the body with him, or cut off the head and hang it at the camp gate. It would definitely be a huge blow. Opponent’s morale!”

"Although I am in Daliang, I have heard about Chen Zhenqing. He loves the people like a son. There was an oversight in the previous siege of the city and many dignitaries escaped. However, this man actually stayed as an officer and died fighting with the soldiers." On the battlefield, it seems that the words are not false! Such a virtuous person, if his integrity is not lost after death, how can he allow others to insult him!"

The general was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Let him be laid to rest and give him a good burial!"

"As you command!"

The people outside the door took the order and left.

…

The tomb of Chen Zhenqing, the lord of Zhongning Mansion in Luzhou, Yan State.

Xiao Wu stood in front of the tomb and looked at the tomb that the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom would build for Master Chen.

She watched the whole process until the soldiers left, then she showed up.

After paying homage to Mr. Chen for a long time, Xiao Wu's fingers gradually relaxed as he held the letter tightly.

Finally, she carefully folded the letter paper, put it away carefully, and then walked out of Zhongning Mansion.

Keeping Mr. Chen in this land forever may be his best destination.

Xiaowu found his wife and cast a spell to bring them back to Qipai Village and settle down.

She stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the Qingyang Temple on the mountain, hesitated, and finally did not go up the mountain, but flew away on a white cloud.

Above the white clouds.

Xiao Wu looked at the vast land, his eyes still a little confused, not knowing whether he was right or wrong.

The flight has no direction.

She didn't even realize that she had deviated from the direction of the capital, and she didn't know where she had flown.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu's eyes moved, and he looked blankly into the distance, and finally there was a wave in his eyes.

‘Whoosh! ’

Flying over numerous mountains in an instant, Xiao Wu appeared above a mountain col.

A moment later, a white shadow suddenly jumped out of the mountain col, jumped into Xiao Wu's arms, and let out a cry full of kindness and surprise.

"嘤嘤......"

It's a white fox.
