Exorcism

Chapter 232 Angered Pride

Taifu Xin was born in a branch of the royal family. From the moment he was born, he had reserved the position of supreme commander of the Purple Talisman Army. He was named in the army at the age of eight. From the age of twelve, he received careful instruction from a group of veteran generals. At the age of fifteen, he studied with his father. With his military management skills, he went to the frontier at the age of nineteen and held important positions in different regions. When he was twenty-seven, he returned to the capital to take care of his seriously ill father. A year later, he took over as the commander-in-chief of the Zifu Army and was named Taifu as usual. From then on Became one of the most important people in power in the Western Kingdom.

Before Xijie City was attacked by demon soldiers, there was a huge controversy over whether to fight or to retreat. Taifu Xin was the main combatant at the time and reluctantly gave up a thousand purple talisman troops to the princess. However, before the city was destroyed, he He ran away, caught up with the princess's team, and became the most faithful executor of the strategy of "avoiding the edge".

Even though he had been at odds with the princess, when he appeared, the princess still had to entrust the military power to the Taifu. This has been a rule for thousands of years, and the Taifu should lead the army. No one can tell clearly how the tradition was formed, and no one even remembers whether King Xisuke really made such a promise. However, the Taifu family firmly grasped the military power and never let it fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, Taifu Xin's pride and conceit could easily be aroused into intense anger, and all Mu Xingqiu had to do was reach out and light the fuse of the firecracker.

"Are you saying that I am a coward who dare not die for the country?" Taifu Xin's face was gloomy. He took a step forward and his thick eyebrows slowly raised. He is not young, he is in his nineties. Even for a descendant of the royal family who has a longer lifespan, he is considered an old man, but this does not affect his majesty and momentum at all.

If it were in Xijie City, even if Taifu Xin spoke a little harsher, the people standing opposite would kneel down and beg for mercy. Everyone knew that this old commander had a violent temper, and King Xijie would give him three points. However, as early as twenty years ago, Taifu Xin had become restrained and rarely got angry in public. Especially this time when he joined the princess as the commander of the defeated army, he became much more humble. As long as it does not affect the power to control the army, he is even willing to bow to the princess.

In front of an ordinary Pangshan Taoist priest, Taifu Xin actually regained his youthful temper, which surprised all the generals. The princess wore a veil, turned her head slightly, and observed the two people who were at war with each other. Also showing some curiosity.

Mu Xingqiu gave a short laugh. His mental illusion technique was just a small test, and it had not yet shown its true power. "I don't know you, and I don't understand you. He continued to use the method of leading the beast to nine transformations, which was originally a boxing trick. . Since being inspired by Zuo Liuying, Mu Xingqiu has used them in illusions, and the effect is much better than the several methods he dug out from the ancient books. "I don't know what's in your heart." Real thoughts. So, are you really ready to die for your country? "

Mu Xingqiu really didn't know Taifu Xin's true thoughts, he could only feel the emotions. rather than specific ideas.

Taifu Xin pulled out his Talisman sword. It was an ancient sword with a deep purple color. It was originally a symbol of the righteousness of the Purple Talisman Army. Now it has become an heirloom of the Taifu family. "The arrogant Taoist priest,

Take back what you said! "

Some questions, even very simple questions, cannot be asked casually. This has little to do with the question itself, but is determined by the status of both parties: the master can ask the servant "Are you loyal to me", but the servant cannot ask the master "Will you always take care of me", no matter how humble the tone is. ask.

This is the source of Taifu Xin's anger. He is the hereditary commander-in-chief of the Purple Talisman Army. Although at least ten generations of commanders have died in bed recently, he himself has never fought with the enemy on the battlefield. But the four words "sacrifice for the country" still belong to his innate glory, and there is no room for doubt or blasphemy.

"You are just a fugitive from Pangshan. You were probably a citizen of Xijie Kingdom in the past, and you actually spoke rudely to me! Boy. My family has made great achievements in war, and my ancestors have protected you ungrateful people from generation to generation. civilians..."

Taifu Xin's anger became more and more difficult to contain, and the generals present became more and more surprised. They pressed the armrests of their seats and looked at this scene with astonishment on their faces. No one dared to stand up and persuade him.

"Now is the best time." Mu Xingqiu said calmly, and even bowed slightly to Taifu Xin, "The last territory and the last group of people of Xijie Kingdom are waiting for the protection of Taifu."

"Bastard!" Taifu Xin roared angrily, holding a sword in both hands and slashing at Taoist Pangshan.

The high-level talisman sword has its own power. Mu Xingqiu stepped aside and his seat was split into two neat halves. After a while, it fell to both sides. x ̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̌̌

"A good sword." Mu Xingqiu praised it, but he did not take out his own big sword for comparison. "But I am not a demon soldier. Master Taifu used it in the wrong place."

Half because of anger and half because of excessive exertion, Taifu Xin was panting, "The battle will begin the day after tomorrow!" He stared at the Taoist priest, "The whole army of Xijie Kingdom will fight against the demon army. The battlefield will give all the answers. I hope that by then I will You can see Taoist priest Pangshan.”

"There are not many Taoist priests in Pangshan, but every one of them has the intention to die."

Taifu Xin put away the purple talisman sword and turned to the princess suddenly, "In Duanliu City, on the last piece of land of Xijie Kingdom, I request a decisive battle with the demon army. Please allow your highness."

The other generals were shocked. They never expected that the dignified Grand Tutor would change his mind after a few words from the Taoist priest. The old Fu Lu Master squinted his eyes, as if he was half asleep, but in fact he had been observing Mu Xingqiu carefully.

The princess sat upright and thought for a while, "What do you generals think?"

The generals were originally wavering between the princess and the tutor, but now they are obviously in agreement. Is there anything left to hesitate? They stood up one after another, and with the unique boldness of soldiers, they briefly and forcefully vowed to fight the demon soldiers to the death.

"Permission." The princess gave the final order.

Taifu Xin led the generals to retreat. The battle was a complicated matter. With less than two days until the decisive battle, they had to immediately check the terrain and arrange specific tactics.

Mu Xingqiu also resigned, but the princess did not persuade him to stay.

Outside the main hall, Mu Xingqiu was stopped by the old Fu Lu Master. This old man, known as "Fu Jun", was the leader of the Longbin Society of Xijie Kingdom. He very sincerely explained to Mu Xingqiu that the Master had no ill intentions. So, and then asked casually: "Which discipline of Pangshan Taoism is the catechumen?"

"Read the Department of Cardiology."

"It's just me." Mu Xingqiu said with a smile. Ever since he used the illusion spell on Taifu Xin in the main hall, Fu Jun had protected his mind in some way. Mu Xingqiu could no longer detect the other person's emotions. Can guess like ordinary people.

"No wonder the catechumens are so highly regarded. It's amazing. It's amazing. The important task of reviving Pangshan lies with you. Longbinhui lacks talents like the catechumens, which leads to a situation where there are no jobs."

"I think Liu Ding from Duanliu City is a good talisman master. He is young, determined and passionate about talismans."

"My old eyes are dim. I have never heard of such a good seedling. A catechumen's vision is definitely not wrong..."

Fu Jun said goodbye, muttering the name "Liu Ding", and Mu Xingqiu guessed that what he was really thinking about was studying in the Department of Cardiology.

Duanliu City was ready to fight. The entire city had been awake almost all night. A large number of people were requisitioned to help the army build simple fortifications.

Taifu Xin has a high status. Even if he felt that he had overreacted after the incident, he could not change his mind. He had to show that fighting was his position from the beginning to the end, so he was very active when deploying troops. Although he doesn't have much battlefield experience, Taifu's understanding of the entire army is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even veterans like Pan Sanye are ashamed of themselves.

Xin Youtao returned to the city at midnight that day, flying with his royal weapon. As soon as he landed, he went to see his sister. Mr. Pan, who was dragged back by him, came to introduce the situation to Mu Xingqiu.

The veteran's face was haggard and he had lost weight. "Dongjie Kingdom sent a large army, but it will not participate in the war. It stopped three hundred miles away and said it wanted to 'observe'."

Mu Xingqiu expected this outcome, "The generals originally wanted to introduce the demon soldiers into the Dongjie Kingdom. But I persuaded them to change their minds and fight in Duanliu City."

Mr. Pan had already heard some things on the road, "Taifu Xin? You actually persuaded him to change his mind? Haha, Taoist priests are great. Your decision is right. According to what I saw and heard in Dongjie Kingdom , as long as the demon soldiers cross the Jie River, the army there will immediately flee south. We can also escape, but in the end we will have to wait for the Shengfu Dynasty and the Nine Dao Tong to help. No, it’s still a fart fight.”

The veteran had obviously seen some phenomena in Dongjie Country that made him very dissatisfied, and shook his head. He sighed, "It was too easy to fight the war with the demon clan in the past. Once defeated, I became panicked. Morale is not a thing that you just have, it must be accumulated little by little. Step back, step by step, stop the flow. It took a lot of effort to lay a little foundation for the city, but I'm really afraid that the generals will just throw it away. "

"With the princess here, this kind of thing won't happen."

Mr. Pan smiled and said, "You are right. The princess is a decisive person. She gives in when it is time to give in, and never retreats when it is time to insist. Alas, if she were a prince, Xi Jieguo... Now this Not a bad prince." The veteran had his cunning side and stopped talking.

He closed his mouth just in time, and Xin Youtao just opened the door and came in, "My sister wants to meet all the Taoist priests in Pangshan. Third Master, you can come too."

The Fu Lu Master in the Purple Talisman Army was able to monitor the demon army two hundred miles away, so the Taoist priests all stayed in the military camp. Mu Xingqiu called everyone over to meet the princess in the main hall.

Fu Jun is also there, with five Fu Lu masters, including Liu Ding. ww.a.c Liu Ding obviously didn't know why he was so respected. He stood there solemnly, lowering his head and lowering his hands, not daring to breathe.

The princess also invited three monks, led by Ouyang Shu. They were very excited to receive this honor. They all held their heads high, only their eyes were lowered.

Pan Sanye knelt down to greet the princess, and ten Taoist priests, including Xin Youtao, extended Taoist gifts to the princess.

The princess stood up. She was not tall and wore a veil on her face, but she had a unique majesty. Even the old talisman master no longer pretended to be confused and pretended to listen carefully.

"The decisive battle is about to begin." The princess saved all the polite words, "Death is my bottom line, but I am not here for death. I want a victory, and the key to defeating the demon soldiers is to block the mountain of demon fire. This can only rely on your strength.”

Several Talisman Masters looked thoughtful, and the three monks were silent. Mu Xingqiu and his companions looked at each other, stepped forward, and said, "Taoist Priest Pangshan is willing to be a pioneer."
