Zhao Zhengli's dark skin has faded visibly to the naked eye, as if dark clouds have dissipated, revealing a fair and handsome face, with red lips glowing with precious light, sword-shaped eyebrows and a face like a crown of jade.

Zhang Ziya felt as if he had seen a ghost; he was so frightened that he could not speak coherently: "This, this, this..."

Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi also opened their bright eyes, their red lips and pink faces full of confusion.

The sisters of the Bi family hurriedly lifted Taoist Zhao from Tukeng, and then fed him a Qi-nourishing Pill to help him digest. The elegant young master with clear outlines slightly moved his eyelashes, and slowly opened his sparse eyes. Zhao Zhengli suddenly scanned,

Seeing the two beauties next to me with red and swollen eyes and smiling and crying expressions, I asked in a weak tone: "Why are you two crying? Who bullied you?"

These words deeply hurt the hearts of the two sisters. He had only half a foot back from the Palace of the King of Hell and he began to worry about the two sisters. I am afraid that they will never find another one in this world. The unmoved tears are disappointing.

The roar was flowing, and what was different from the past was that I was extremely happy at this moment, throwing myself into the arms of the bad Taoist priest and crying loudly.

Taoist priest Zhao was at a loss and blushed. It was the first time in his life that he was so close to a woman. He didn't know that a woman's body was so soft and had a faint fragrance. This made the inexperienced Taoist priest panic. He looked around and found that he was

Everywhere is a pit, more than eight feet tall

The height was just right when he was lying down, and then he moved his gaze upwards and found that Yu Xiaowei, Li Zhanyi and Zhang Ziya were looking down at themselves in the pit. He seemed to understand something: "Hey, you three are so heartless, you actually want to bury the three of us alive! It's a waste of time.

I fought tooth and nail to protect you last night!"

"..."

The three people in the pit were speechless. It seemed that this misunderstanding could only be explained by the Bi family sisters. The three of them were more confused about his resurrection? Although it was not as obvious as the Bi family sisters, their eyes also revealed joy.

.

Yu Xiaowei, who was just a little happy, looked at the three people huddled together in the pit and pursed her lips, turning her head to the side silently.

Li Zhan, who looked like a lady, glanced at Zhang Ziya who looked envious and quickly moved his eyes away in a pretentious manner.

Zhao Zhengli didn't feel that he had died. He only knew that he was very tired from the poisonous poison that invaded his internal organs last night. He couldn't hold his eyelids open and fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw the Bi family sisters crying and being with him in the pit.

This time, Daochang Zhao slept very soundly and felt refreshed. On the other hand, the other five people looked tired and looked like they had not slept for several nights.

He was thinking hard, how could the body poison disappear overnight? The circulating Qi seemed to be all over the body, integrated with flesh and blood.

He was puzzled.

Several people got on the road and walked towards Qipanguan.

Li Zhanyi, who has been traveling around the world for several years, suddenly said: "Does the Taoist priest know anyone from Longhu Mountain?"

Zhao Zhengli shook his head: "I have only been out of the mountain for more than two months, and I have been wandering around Shu. Where did you know the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain?"

Li Zhanyi frowned: "That's strange. There are countless strange medicines in the world. Although there is an elixir of immortal grass on the coast of the East China Sea that can bring the dead back to life, after all, it is a legend. The unique Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pill in the world can be compared with the elixir of elixir.

, even the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pill does not have the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life. Moreover, the "Heavenly Cloth Silkworm Technique" that is used to resurrect from the poisonous body and practice Nirvana and rebirth cannot achieve the effect of resurrecting one's body overnight."

Zhang Ziya said: "Maybe the Taoist priest is surprised by his bones, but it's not necessarily that he has adapted to the poison in his body!"

Sisters from the Bi family also said: "It's really possible. The Taoist Master has been soaking tea oil and sulfur water to refine the poisonous poison for several months. Maybe he has quietly improved his physical condition."

Several people nodded doubtfully, but Li Zhanyi felt that the credibility was still not high. Could it be that he was really the reincarnation of a heavenly being?

The lady looked at the handsome Taoist priest with an expression that became even more curious, her eyes wanting to see him thoroughly.

Taoist Zhao said unnaturally: "I know you are handsome, so don't look at me, Senior Sister Emei. It's fine to give me a look, but I don't want to have a love triangle between you and Ziya, so I'm sorry

Senior sister, stop wasting your time."

"..."

The plump elder sister was speechless, Zhang Ziya blushed, but the Bi sisters smiled. Only Xiaowei hurried on with an expressionless face.

Qipanguan Station does not have many horses and can only provide three riders, which means two people ride one horse...

Daochang Zhao was in a dilemma. Should he ride on a horse with the Bi sisters? Or should he choose between Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhan?

While he was struggling, two horses were already galloping past. He and Zhang Ziya were the only ones left at the door of the station. The guy who was half a head shorter than the Taoist priest was smiling at him. As both men, he naturally knew what the bad Taoist priest was thinking about just now.

, of course he did, but not as obviously as Taoist Zhao. Out of respect for his strength, Zhang Ziya politely handed over his hand: "Taoist, I have no choice but to ask you to ride on a horse with me. Should Taoist sit in front or behind?"

The Taoist priest gave him a very disappointed look: "What are the front and back, filthy words, I'm on horseback!"

"..."

In the end, the bad Taoist leader put Zhang Ziya on his horse and carried him on the road like a prisoner. Zhang Ziya strongly protested: "Ah!... Taoist priest... I can't stand it!"

"Taoist Master!...Ah!...Slow down!"

"Shut up, I'll shake your guts out if I yell again!"

"..."

They didn’t know whether it was Taoist Zhao who had improved his horse control skills, or whether the two horses in front were waiting deliberately and caught up with the four of them in less than a moment. When they saw Zhang Ziya’s riding style, they were particularly surprised. They didn’t need to think twice to understand that it was the work of the bad Taoist Master.

I feel sad for him later.

After traveling for more than thirty miles, Zhang Ziya felt dizzy, nauseated, and the overnight meal was in his throat. He regretted one thing at the moment, that is, he should have dug a hole on the spot in the morning to bury the damn bad Taoist priest.

If you don't, you won't suffer this crime.

Perhaps the bad Taoist priest was not so bad after all. Seeing that Zhang Ziya was really desperate, he asked him to ride in front of him, and Zhang Ziya felt like he was freed.

There were no dangerous passes along the way, and the three horses galloped for more than seventy or eighty miles, stopping three times from Qipanguan to Xingyuan Mansion, which took about an hour.

The mountains and rivers are lonely, the clouds are flying across, and the city is bustling with glasses of wine.

Xingyuan Mansion is as fertile and prosperous as the land of Shu. The environment surrounded by mountains and rivers is very livable. It is connected from south to north and is a natural granary. It has caused many heroes of the past dynasties to fight for their lives.

The inn in the Qinling Mountains

There are four roads, namely Chencang, Baoxie, Tuangluo and Ziwu. They range from the ancient Shang Dynasty to the pre-Qin Dynasty; down to the troubled times of modern times, all of which have left behind ancient and unparalleled battles. It can be said that every plank road is paved with blood and bones.

out.

The six people did not come to Xingyuan Mansion to experience the humanities and history. They checked their identities at the government office, found the five-flowered horse luan sedan that the Yu family had been waiting for for several days, and then asked for a heavy cavalry of Xingyuan Mansion armor to escort them.

After last night's bloody lesson, everyone agreed that it was important to "take advantage of the situation" and find escorts on whichever county road they came to. This was not considered cowardly. On the contrary, the government was very happy. After all, Zhao Zhengli belonged to the person appointed by the local government.

It's hard to explain what happened, not to mention the Minister of War's precious daughter. It would be best to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.

On the twenty-fifth day of the eighth lunar month, a few people officially headed north to Jingzhao Mansion via the Tangluo Plank Road. They were escorted by fifty armored men from Xingyuan Mansion. The plank road was ignited with murderous air. Tourists from all walks of life heard the wind and took shelter, and the night attack on Qipan Mountain occurred.

There are also rumors in the world that "the devil sword killed all the Nanzhao survivors, and the momentum scared away the Tubo masters", "human devil" became Zhao Zhengli's new title in the world.

Li Zhanyi and Zhang Ziya are equally famous, but it is a pity that they are overshadowed by the ruthless character "Human Demon". These three masters alone are scary enough, and now they have added fifty armored heavy cavalry, which is not as powerful as the great master.

Dare to come forward and say hello.

There are rumors that Zhao Zhengli was seriously injured in the battle at Qipanling, so he dispatched fifty armored heavy cavalry to escort him in Xingyuan Mansion.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, no one came forward to test it, because there were still two grand masters and fifty heavy armors, and many Jianghu people were expected to watch the excitement on the Tangluo Plank Road, and they were afraid of asking questions, assassinations, etc.

The fifty heavy cavalrymen of Xingyuan Prefecture spent one day escorting them to Fengzhou to hand over to the Tongyuan Army. The boundaries between county roads cannot be crossed without an edict. This is an iron law of the Qing Dynasty.

When you enter Fengzhou, you enter Qinfengjun Road. Qinfengjun Road covers a total of twelve states and thirty-eight counties, divided into three armies, namely Wude, Zhenrong, and Tongyuan.

The one who led Zhao Zhengli and others was a detachment of the Tongyuan Army from the far south. There were more than seventy people, wearing iron armor, with three-meter spears standing on their saddles. Equipped with strong shields, their horses and cavalry were uniform, and their marching momentum was far better than the previous five.

The sight of the ten-level cavalry made Zhang Ziya's blood boil with excitement. The fifty-level cavalry earlier did not make him so excited.

The reason is that the heavy cavalry of Xingyuan Prefecture is under the government's establishment. Geographically, it is not like Qinfeng County, which is close to the border defenses of the Three Kingdoms. It is Xixia and Khitan on the top, and Tubo is on the left. Although the war has become smaller in the past two years, the border defense areas are unavoidable.

To keep things going, there were one or two small battles in a few months.

And this group of iron cavalry were the warriors who crawled out of the corpse mountain and the sea of ​​blood. Their morale as soldiers was naturally obvious. If there were 700 or 7,000 people marching, their morale would be so high that most people would not be able to see their legs and feet very well.

The seventy armored soldiers said nothing, except for the ninth-grade casual officer who led the team; Wu Lei accompanied the Rong captain and communicated with a few people on urgent issues. The remaining dozens of people were like machines, eating but not talking, sleeping without taking off their armor.

Travel on the Tangluo Plank Road for two days.

On the afternoon of the 28th day of the lunar calendar, I entered Yongxing County Road under the escort of Captain Wu Lei, and all I could see was the vast loess bordering the sky and the earth, with wind, sand and dust flying everywhere.

Zhang Ziya looked at the vast landscape and sighed: "It's just as the old saying goes, go up to the north and see the vast murderous atmosphere, go down to the south and see the gathering of scholars."

Wu Leihao clapped his legs and said happily: "This is very reasonable. There are scholars in the south, but there are many reckless men in the north. Civilization governs the country, and Wu determines the territory. Although no one in the north or the south looks down on the other, they can't live without each other. It's a pity.

Nowadays, the imperial court seems to be more fond of literati, and it’s hard for me to wait for these warriors.”

When Wu Lei said it, he was obviously depressed and regretful. He shook his head and put the topic aside, and said with great pride: "This is not vast. If you go more than a hundred miles north, you will find the endless desert outside the Great Wall; all you can see is the blue sky and yellow sand.

, where you can feel the true vast murderous aura.”

Zhao Zhengli glanced at Zhang Ziya who looked obsessed: "Aren't you going north to regain the land of Yanyun? How about joining the army with the Rong captain?"

Before Zhang Ziya could say anything, Wu Lei, the captain of the accompanying army, took the lead and inquired about Zhang Ziya seriously: "Ziya's mind is admired by this captain. If all the world has such a mind, why worry about the smoke and clouds not coming back for sixteen days? I'm afraid the Khitan will not come back."

Tibet

They all have to belong to my Daqing territory. However, with the master Ziya's teachings, our team is not qualified. If you are really serious, the young general can recommend you to go to the Tongyuan Army General's Mansion, and you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the north and make the Khitans afraid!

"

Zhang Ziya took a peek at Li Zhanyi who was sitting in the five-flowered horse sedan, and said politely: "Thank you, Captain, for your appreciation. There are not many border wars now, and Ziya would like to travel a bit first. When the front line becomes tight in the future, Ziya will never look back."

Wu Lei didn't understand what he meant at all. He said in an iron-clad and heroic manner: "Ziya is humble. With your master's Taoist practice, joining the army is naturally not like soldiers charging, preaching, qualified soldiers, Taoist martial arts and other important positions..."

Zhao Zhengli felt awkward when he saw Zhang Ziya talking about the same topic inconsistently, so he changed the subject: "I heard that the school captain could use seventy cavalry to set up a seven-star formation to block the charge of nearly a thousand Khitan soldiers. I was very curious. What are the seven-star formations?

What’s so special?”

Mentioning Wu Lei's areas of expertise, he proudly raised his chest and talked about it; he handed the six people over to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen who were waiting for them, and before leaving, he did not forget to remind Zhang Ziya that he was always waiting for words.
To be continued...
