Exorcism

Xin Youtao had a habit of never telling his true thoughts in front of outsiders. After Yang Qingyin, Shen Hao and others went out, he stopped Mu Xingqiu.

There was a trace of reproach in his friendly eyes, and he said: "You, you, are really good at being a fierce general. You march forward bravely on the battlefield, but when you encounter something unpredictable, you will fall into a trap unknowingly. "

"What did I do wrong again?" Mu Xingqiu asked with a smile. He really wanted to know Xin Youtao's views on the current situation.

Xin Youtao thought for a while, "Helping is a skill. If you say it too hard, it will seem like you are trying to shirk it, which will make the other party unhappy; if you say it too easily, people will think it is a simple effort and there is no need to repay."

"I agreed too easily? But no one asked me for help."

"Asking for help is also a skill. Foolish people make things as important as their wealth and life, which is simply forcing the other person to open their mouths. Smart people try to make things as simple as possible, and treat help and repayment as ordinary things. "Zuo Liuying is a genius. He is really a genius. He has obviously done you a great favor, but he seems to be giving you a great honor."

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "The Grand Master's Tower is in danger, the Nine Dao Traditions are full of mist, and the Grand Master actually refuses to show up. Zuo Liuying asked me, an inspiratory Taoist priest, to make the decision for him - you are right, I do It was a big help to him that no matter what decision I made, he had room to maneuver.”

Xin Youtao kept wagging his fingers, "Yes, Zuo Liuying claimed that he was concentrating on repairing the Patriarch Tower and pushed you, a low-level Taoist priest, out. This was a very smart move. Your decision was correct and it was his credit. You If the decision is incorrect, he can correct it at any time and take back the power."

"So in Zuo Liuying's eyes, I still have value."

"That's because you like to be nosy." Xin Youtao curled his lips, "I am the prince of Xijie Kingdom, and I will have to go to the Longbin Club in the imperial capital sooner or later. It is impossible for me to work for Pang Shan; I am more likely to fail than to succeed; Shen Hao's prestige Not enough, let alone others. Only you, Zuo Liuying sees you clearly, so he uses you as a shield."

"I am a disciple of Pangshan. I must be a shield when needed."

Xin Youtao shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever you want, I just feel unworthy for you. You should take the opportunity to put forward some conditions to Zuo Liuying. If you want to go further on the road of cultivation, the help of the leader is indispensable. And you If you think about it, this shield is not easy to use. There is an army of monsters in the front, and behind it are the Nine Dao Traditions. The Grandmaster and other Pangshan Taoist priests must be trapped in Luanjing Mountain. There is no doubt about this. Maybe several of them. The Dao Tong teamed up to set up a trap. They didn't come to openly rob the Zushi Tower. They were only concerned about their face and Zuo Liuying. They were waiting for Zuo Liuying to come to him when he was desperate. Just watch, we are destined to be alone. "

"Zuo Liuying will find a way.

"Mu Xingqiu is full of confidence.

"any solution?"

"I don't know, but he will definitely not let the Patriarch Tower fall into the hands of others, let alone let Pangshan Taoism disappear." With his superficial understanding of the leader of the Forbidden Secret Department, Mu Xingqiu believed that he would never let it happen easily. yield.

"But if necessary, Zuo Liuying will make you disappear without hesitation." Xin Youtao felt that Mu Xingqiu still didn't understand the crux of the problem.

A soldier walked in outside and said that the city guard had invited His Royal Highness, "There is new news from the capital."

Xin Youtao's face changed slightly. It was almost impossible for good news to come from the capital at this time. He walked towards the door and suddenly stopped and said: "You are so nosy, come and take care of the affairs of Xijie Kingdom - come with me." Meet Chen Zhiwei, he is a cunning old man and is difficult to deal with. "

Mu Xingqiu readily agreed, and as we walked together he said, "Is this a smart person's way of asking for help? You asked me to help but deliberately kept the matter small."

The two laughed together. "I think it's my fault," Xin Youtao said.

Yang Qingyin and others were practicing archery with a long bow using a talisman outside. The Taoist priest was so powerful that every arrow could penetrate the target, which attracted loud cheers from the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army. They only wondered one thing, why did they come from the capital? Female generals are stronger than male generals.

Yang Qingyin didn't care at all about the cheers. When she saw Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao walking out chatting and laughing, she asked loudly: "Have you thought about how to fight the next battle?"

Before Grandmaster Ning Qiwei sent a messenger, they still had to prepare normally to face the demon soldiers. Although the first group of demon soldiers were all killed, the news of Shen Jiyi's use of magic would still spread, and the next group of demon soldiers would definitely be stronger. Big increase.

"Use Qilin, let's all give it a try and see who can ride the last one." Mu Xingqiu also answered loudly, unless there was no other way, he would still restrict everyone's use of spells.

"Then I can participate in the war?" Yang Qingyin was most concerned about this question.

"able."

The cheers in the military camp were louder, and the confidence strengthened by a victory in the morning was a little stronger. "We also have an immortal to help us, right, General Mu?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled and said nothing. The immortal in the eyes of the soldiers was Shen Jiyi. It was hard to say whether this Yashan Taoist priest would stay and help, but he was indeed a powerful helper. Even if the Pangshan disciples could To use spells at will, you also need a commander, and Shen Jiyi is the most suitable candidate.

It was already late at night when the two arrived at the city guard's mansion. Chen Zhiwei stood at the gate to greet them. He had been frightened for the past few days and had eaten a few heavy meals to calm down, which made his round belly feel better.

"How do you know?" Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised. The city guard looked good and had a calm smile. It seemed more like he had good news to report.

"Standing at the gate is the etiquette to welcome you, General Mu. To greet the prince, he should stand at the street corner, so... hum."

There is a reason behind the poor etiquette of the castle guard.

In the lobby, Chen Zhiwei showed some humility before sitting calmly at the head of the table. He took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "The fall of the capital happened almost this morning."

There are different levels of talisman messages between the cities of the princely states. The higher the level, the faster the speed. The capital is 1,7800 miles away from Duanliu City, and the letter is delivered in six or seven hours, indicating that this is the highest level of urgent letter. .

Xin Youtao had expected a few days ago that the capital defenders were no match for the demon clan, so he acted very calmly at this time. He took the letter and read it quickly before handing it to Mu Xingqiu.

The content of the letter was very simple. It only stated that the capital had been lost and asked officials in each city to act accordingly and accept King Xisuke's summons at any time to regain their homeland.

The royal family is still there, and the whereabouts were not disclosed in the letter.

"What are Mr. Chen's plans?" Xin Youtao asked harmoniously.

"Of course I will follow His Highness. Your Highness will fight, and your blood will be spilled on the battlefield. Your Highness will retreat, and your Majesty will ride in front and behind you."

Chen Zhiwei spoke so righteously, Xin Youtao seemed a little moved, "I am very clear about Mr. Chen's loyalty and patriotism, but as you are the city guard, you still have to make the decision."

The two of them were humble to each other. Loyalty and trust were the themes of every sentence. In the end, Chen Zhiwei gave in and sighed, "Since His Highness insists on letting me make up my mind, I will boldly say a few words."

"Please say."

"Duanliu City cannot be defended." Chen Zhiwei's expression was both serious and sad. "General Mu won a battle today, which is a great achievement. However, Duanliu City is too small, there are not many soldiers, and the demon clan It's from heaven and earth. If the army comes, we will definitely not be able to defend it."

As soon as Lord City Guard opened his mouth, Xin Youtao began to nod. When the other party finished speaking, he was still nodding, "Master Chen means to retreat. To where?"

His Highness the Prince seemed to have no intention of objecting, and Chen Zhiwei's eyes lit up, "Half of Xijie Kingdom has fallen, and other cities may not be able to hold on for long. We should retreat to Dongjie Kingdom with all our troops, horses, and supplies, and use the river to stop the demon army, or There is a chance of winning.”

"The relationship between Dongjie Country and Xijie Country is not very good. Will they accept us?"

"Dongjie Kingdom has accepted the people who fled, so why not accept His Highness? But after all, the situation is different, and Your Highness may need to make some... expressions."

"You mean to bow down to Dong Jieguo for help?"

"It can't be regarded as 'bending the knee'. This is just a transaction between the royal family. As for how to make it more beneficial to Xijie Kingdom, it depends on His Highness."

Xin Youtao glanced at Mu Xingqiu, smiled and said to Chen Zhiwei, "Okay, I've decided."

Chen Zhiwei's face was filled with joy, "The dragon is still dormant, and what is weak today will be strong tomorrow. Your Highness..."

Xin Youtao interrupted Chen Zhiwei's flattery and said, "I have decided to relieve you from your duty as city guard."

"Ah?" Chen Zhiwei was stunned and almost choked on the words he didn't say.

"In this way, you can flee to Dongjie Country as a commoner. When there is peace here, you can come back and resume your old position."

Chen Zhiwei's face turned red and white suddenly, and he suddenly changed his tone, "Your Highness wants to remove the subordinates from their minor posts, of course you can, but I am the city guard personally appointed by the king, and I don't dare to violate it if it is not covered with the king's seal." I have left my post without permission, and I beg Your Highness to ask for a copy of the royal decree."

"The whereabouts of my father are unknown. www.ansh.c Xijie Country will be my regent from today on. Later, you can tell me how you secretly negotiated with Dongjie Country."

Chen Zhiwei became angry with embarrassment and stood up, his belly rising even higher, "Your Highness wants to be the regent, and you are not the only one who has the final say. Don't think I don't know. The king has long wanted to depose you and is preparing to appoint the second prince as the regent." "Chu. And -" Chen Zhiwei sneered, "You didn't return to the capital at all. You, you are all the ones who slipped through the trap of Pangshan Taoism. You fled to Duanliu City in a hurry, and you actually negotiated terms with me." The Dongjie Kingdom is preparing to destroy the bridge. If you want to escape then, your Highness, you can stay away from the demon soldiers and enjoy your wealth. Otherwise, please guard the empty city alone. I will leave the city to you, Xuan. I want to take away all the Fu army and supplies in the city."

Xin Youtao also stood up and shook his head, "Since you know that we are Pangshan Taoist priests, do you still want to take everything away?"

"Haha, I not only know that you are the remnants of Pangshan, but I also know that you are just a group of young Taoist priests in the realm of breathing. The Xuanfu Army does not have good talismans, but it does not mean that Duanliu City does not have them, and it does not mean that I can't use them."

With a bang, two slender flower snakes suddenly appeared on the ground and entangled the two Pangshan disciples in the blink of an eye.
