Exorcism

In the morning light, more than a dozen kite-like hawk-eye flying talismans were hovering high in the sky, like a group of vultures that had smelled the smell of carrion in advance, waiting for their injured prey to fall down automatically.

Taifu Xin, who was dressed in military uniform, stopped in front of the tent door, looked up, cursed silently, and then said to the generals beside him: "The backers of Xijie Kingdom are all flying in the sky. Now there are vassal states and holy symbols." The eagle eye flying talisman of the dynasty, and the group of blue-robed Taoist priests will be there later, which really makes people feel at ease. "

The generals around him laughed awkwardly. The war was about to begin. They really didn't want to follow the commander's sarcasm and sneer away the last bit of confidence in their hearts.

The palace maid walked out of the tent and saluted the Taifu, "Your Highness is ready."

Taifu Xin walked into the tent alone, raised his head, and was stunned. He came to see the princess just for a formality. After getting the decree, he could lead his troops and set off. But the princess obviously had other ideas - she also put on a military uniform.

This is a specially made armor, suitable for the princess's thin body. It is forged from mother-in-law and silver. It is pure black. Only the purple royal coat of arms of the King of Saisuke is inlaid on the shoulders. The helmet covers the entire face. , tighter than the veil.

"Your Highness..." Taifu Xin didn't know why.

The princess's voice came from behind the helmet cover, "Three great Talisman masters personally blessed it. This armor is lighter than I thought, and it is not afraid of being stained by demon blood. I am very satisfied."

"Is Your Highness going to the battlefield in person?"

"All the soldiers of Xijie Kingdom are fighting bloody battles at the front. How can I stay in the tent and wait for news?"

Tai Fu Xin's face was slightly red, "Your Highness, you should inform me in advance, Master Jun Wu Er..."

"Master Taifu has misunderstood. You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army. This has not changed. You are still sitting in the rear commanding the overall situation. I want to participate in the charge."

Taifu Xin was stunned. He didn't know how to react, so he sneered inappropriately and immediately bowed to apologize, "I am ignorant and don't understand the purpose of the princess's move. The royal family is missing. Your Highness is equivalent to the monarch of Xijie Kingdom. If you are on the battlefield, If something goes wrong, not only will I not be able to bear the blame, but all the soldiers will be deeply affected.

"Now is not the time for arguments." The princess walked towards the door. The black armor made a crisp sound, "I gave a little gift to the coach of Dong Jieguo on the other side. After an hour, he will open the closed bridge. If the war is unfavorable, Lord Taifu, please forgive me and lead as much as possible. People cross the bridge."

Before Taifu Xin had time to react, the princess had already walked past him and came to the outside of the tent.

Veteran Pan Sanye immediately brought the princess's mount, which was a black unicorn. The horns are silver-white. After years of cultivation by the royal family, Qilin's temper has become very gentle and can be equipped with a saddle on its back.

The generals at the door were as surprised as Taifu Xin. But there was no objection, but they scrambled to kneel beside Qilin and act as a footstool for the princess.

The princess stepped on the back of a general and sat on Qilin's back, and took the dagger from Master Pan. Although the talisman weapons were very light, she still couldn't hold the spear.

The guards mounted their horses one after another, and there were more than a hundred people in total. Thirty or forty people among them were holding various flags, symbolizing the Xijie royal family, the Purple Fu Army, the Xuan Fu Army, and major cities. The princess's own flag pattern was a black unicorn with silver horns, with a red background and a transparent A chilling air.

Taifu Xin walked out of the tent, looked at the princess's flag, and thought that he should have guessed that this was by no means a delicate woman.

The generals mounted their horses, Taifu Xin and his entourage were on the right, and the princess and her entourage were on the left, and they drove out of the already small military camp. The maids and servants stood at the entrance of the tent from a distance, looking at the generals' backs, feeling that disaster was imminent.

A total of 6,000 soldiers were already in formation twenty miles west of the city, 4,000 cavalry brought by the princess, 1,000 Duanliu City infantry, and after Taifu Xin arrived, he temporarily recruited 1,000 young men. , as a reserve force.

The princess's appearance surprised the soldiers. They all recognized the princess's flag and could see that the person sitting on the unicorn's back was a woman.

If the king or prince leads the army, he will show up in front of the battle, and then the soldiers will charge. But the princess - according to ancient traditions, she cannot even take off her veil before getting married, and of course she should not appear on the battlefield.

"Xijie Kingdom has been destroyed, and we are just mourning its death." Taifu Xin muttered in a low voice, just for his own ears.

Mu Xingqiu was also surprised.

The Taoist priests and casual cultivators were under the command of Yang Qingyin. Mu Xingqiu participated in the ground battle as a former general of the Xuanfu Army. At this time, he was riding a flea and stopped at the front of the team. On both sides were the flea's parents and no one was riding. , their purpose is very simple, to protect their only son.

Behind him are more than a hundred soldiers, including more than thirty disciples of Pangshan Zhiyong Institute, and the others are volunteers, all from the Duanliu City defenders. They only had spears in their hands and no flags.

Mu Xingqiu wore the ordinary black armor of the Xuanfu Army. Only the tassels on his helmet were a few inches higher than those of ordinary soldiers. He did not choose a spear, but carried his own sword behind his back, and the electric whip hidden in his right hand.

Due to the back and forth trampling of the horses' hooves, the ground was slightly muddy, and the horses' four legs soon became covered with mud spots. However, the Qilin was not affected. They are naturally clean animals.

Without waiting for the master's order, the silver-horned unicorn stopped, keeping a distance of about twenty steps from the three iron unicorns.

Taifu Xin and others stopped behind the princess.

The princess faced all the soldiers and tapped her mask twice. With the power of the talisman, her voice could be heard far away, "I am your princess." She said that there was no need for too many heroic words at this moment. , she took off her helmet.

There were screams of surprise all around, and several generals were so surprised that they almost fell off their horses. Dressed in military uniform, going to the battlefield in person and showing her true face, the princess violated almost all the rules of the royal family.

"Today I will live and die with you." The princess pulled out the dagger, raised it high, and threw away the helmet. Her voice became softer, but this did not affect the meaning she wanted to express at all.

"Princess! Princess!" Six thousand soldiers shouted in unison, beating their armor with their weapons, and the sound echoed through the sky.

Taifu Xin sighed softly and couldn't help but look at Duanliu City. The princess bought a passage for him and the people of Xijie Kingdom, and it seems likely that it will be used.

The princess nodded to the guard, and Mr. Pan drove out of the team and came to Mr. Fu, "Your Highness wants to see you."

Fu Jun's old face was filled with fear. Although he was the leader of Xijie Kingdom's Longbinhui, he did not command the team of Fu Lu masters, so he stayed with Taifu Xin, "What, what's the matter?"

Master Pan did not answer, although Taifu Xin and other generals were confused. But he didn't say anything. In the dispute between the royal family and the talisman master, the army will not get involved. This is also an ancient tradition.

Mr. Fu rode a white horse to the princess and forced a smile, "Why did Your Highness summon me?"

The princess looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Pan Sanye said loudly with the help of the talisman: "You colluded with the Demon King and betrayed Xijie Kingdom and Longbinhui. Can you be convicted of the crime?"

"I, I..." Fu Jun gasped violently. It was like he had been humiliated.

The princess said in a normal voice: "It is not safe to use flying talismans to convey information. Mr. Fu, you can't hide it. All the talisman masters have pledged their allegiance to me. Leave some dignity for yourself."

Mr. Fu raised his hand to cover his heart. He was one of the very few who was not wearing armor, but he still had a few of the best paper charms from Xijie Kingdom in his arms to protect himself. He could even cause harm to the princess, but he did nothing. "I just want to leave some room for negotiation for Xi Jieguo. You can't defeat the demon army."

"When the war is approaching, hesitation is betrayal," the princess said.

The three guards stretched out their spears at the same time and stabbed deeply into Mr. Fu's body. They then withdrew their spears and three streams of blood flowed out.

Mr. Fu swayed twice on his horse and fell into the mud. Until the end, he did not cast a single talisman, as if it was more difficult than communicating with the demon clan through letters.

The soldiers roared, and the princess turned around and rode alongside the former general Mu Xingqiu. They were still twenty steps apart, and their guards and soldiers were close together.

"We sometimes kill people to sacrifice the flag before the war, what about the Taoist priests?" the princess said.

Mu Xingqiu nodded slightly, "Taoist priests can chant sutras to make themselves feel more peaceful, so as not to become possessed by demons when killing people."

The princess smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you again, and a pleasure to fight alongside you."

"my pleasure."

The princess put her helmet back on, and the two looked up at the same time.

More than fifty Taoist priests have also formed a formation in the air, divided into three rows. The first row is mainly composed of Five Elements disciples, the second row is Yang Qingyin and others, checking for leaks and filling vacancies, and the third row is Shen Hao and others. Responsible for defense.

Xin Youtao, a disciple of the discipline department, stayed in the third row, with his grandson Wang Ruyi stepping on his feet.

"My brother has really become a Taoist priest." The princess said softly, feeling happy and not disappointed. As long as Xin Youtao was a man who could shoulder his responsibilities, she didn't care about his identity.

Dozens of casual cultivators parked on the flanks of the team, their mounts still gorgeous, but they were willing to act as auxiliary forces and only join the battle when needed most.

A female Taoist priest opened her mouth to chant, wash.c seemed to be singing a soothing and melodious song. The voice was clear and the whole sky seemed to be a little brighter because of it, but the words were very vague. Even the Taoist priests could not hear them clearly. , they just felt that their mood was perfect, without excitement or timidity.

A chariot passed quickly in front of the Xijie Army. Three talisman masters were riding in the vehicle. The person on the left was Liu Ding. The paper talismans turned into ashes in their hands and scattered in the air. Each of them smelled The soldiers who arrived felt that there was an awe-inspiring righteousness in their chest and abdomen. Their bodies were lighter and more powerful, and they were full of desire for battle and blood.

Taifu Xin temporarily forgot about the disadvantages of the battle and the reopening of the bridge, and began to issue orders. Soon, synchronized drumbeats sounded from all directions of the military formation.

Suddenly, a high-pitched horn sound and a rough shout came from the west, like a giant dragon roaring with a group of wild beasts at the same time.

So the armies of both sides began to advance.

Dozens of eagle eye flying charms floating in the air scrambled to retreat further and higher, as if frightened by such a scene.
