Chapter 23 The Fox
A lightning fell, and the world became white. Qi Aiguo walked through the mountains and forests with one foot high and one foot low. She did not dare to go to the crowded mountain road, but walked deep into the mountains and forests.
She crossed a hill and walked around a pond covered with reeds. The nectar technique repaired the wound. It tore it with the movement and the blood oozed out.
"I have not avenged my parents, and I have not avenged my master's murder."
"I can't die!" Qi Aiguo murmured to herself. She kept walking like this, staggering, and when she turned to another place, she suddenly stumbled and fell down, and instantly she knew nothing.
The rain crackled down, and a sound suddenly came from the forest. A fox jumped out, his eyes looked around, looking very intelligently, his ears moved slightly, listening to the movement.
"Jiji" the fox screamed like this, and went to the side of the water, waiting quietly on the shore, suddenly stretched out his claws and caught the fish in the water.
The fox bit the fish to death and started eating it. He ate it cleanly and combed it into the water, looking very delicate. Suddenly, it stopped moving and its ears started to move.
The fox looked vigilantly in one direction, ran up, suddenly tripped, and rolled on the ground.
"Jiji" the fox screamed angrily, lowered his head and found that there was a person on the ground, Qi Aiguo, with blood stains on his body, pale face, and lying in the grass.
The fox was very surprised that he was so keen that he didn't notice any human beings. He looked at it with his head tilted and thought for a long time. The fox bit her clothes and dragged it towards a cave. The grass at the entrance of the cave looked very hidden.
"Jiji!" The fox thought for a while, grabbed the blood-stained mud pieces one by one, and threw them onto the other road until it stretched to the cliff.
The fox was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, returned to the cave, glanced at Qi Aiguo, and lay beside her.
Mountain side
A team of Taoists appeared, and the mist was scattered in the sky, drizzling, and the water was covered with bubbles. The leader of the Taoist was wearing a straw raincoat, a little handsome, wearing wooden shoes, and more than a dozen disciples followed closely, crossed a mountain pass, and stopped for a while.
Although she had a straw raincoat, she couldn't prevent much rain. After trekking, she was covered in mud and water. Her face was blue and yellow. She said, "Damn it, she has magic weapons on her body, which can be hidden, and she can't even find magic. How can she find such a big mountain on this rainy day?"
"The spell cannot be found, but there is blood. Let the spirit beasts follow." The leader's Taoist frowned because he could not find it for a long time. He pondered for a while and said, "Just go back and admire some of the flesh and bones of these spirit beasts."
The so-called spirit beast is actually a dog. I don’t know why I got the spirit beast, and one person said, “That’s it.”
As he said that, he drove the dog to smell it. He walked along the way and finally followed a road to the cliff. Looking down, it was a big river.
The river water was surging and the water was rushing. In the rain, the river water splashed layers of waves, more than 30 meters high, and no Taoist dared to jump down.
The leader looked at it and sneered: "I didn't expect this woman to be tough and chose to commit suicide."
"Senior brother, do we want to go downstream and search again?" asked the Taoist who followed.
The head Taoist said: "She was injured. Whether she committed suicide or jumped into the water, we could not search any more. We could only watch the door.
"The life lamp is still there, but it is still alive. Even if there is a magic weapon, as long as the door breaks the magic of the shielding heaven, you will always be able to catch up."
"What my senior brother said!" The Taoist understood it, and did not stay too late, so he turned around and left.
After three hours, a fox's head was exposed in the cave, and his nose sniffed in the air. Without the breath of a Taoist, the fox screamed a few times, as if he was ridiculed.
Cave
At this time, a cough came. There was dry thatch on the ground and a lot of fluff covered it. Qi Aiguo suddenly sat up, her eyes chilled, and she was about to touch the sword, but it was empty.
"Where is this?" Qi Aiguo looked around and saw that it was a cave, which was very simple and with some chills, Qi Aiguo reached out to cover the wound. She felt a little pain, but it was much healed a lot. When she touched it, she found that there were some chewed herbs on the wound.
He pressed his hand on the dry thatch and touched a lot of hair. There was a light at the entrance of the hole not far away. Qi Aiguo's face was pale and she covered her chest and turned towards the light.
"This is a cave." There is a big cave in the cave. The light shines in outside. The vines grow on the cliff of the cave, with a lot of wild fruits growing on it.
A white fox shook his tail and stared at the side of the underground pond. At this time, the fish in the water moved slightly. The fox instantly stretched out his claws and grabbed it hard, and a fish slapped the shore.
The fox turned his head and saw Qi Aiguo, and couldn't help but look at Qi Aiguo happily: "Jiji"
Qi Aiguo walked away and lowered his body. The fox didn't escape. He gestured, pointed at the fish and pointed at Qi Aiguo again.
"What do you mean, do you want this fish to be eaten by me?" Qi Aiguo asked. The fox nodded and pushed the fish into her hand.
"Such spirituality!" Qi Aiguo was stunned for a moment, and saw the little fox turn around and run away: "Don't leave, yes, are you saving me?"
Qi Aiguo shouted, and the fox crawled into the vine and disappeared. Qi Aiguo slowly squatted down, choking silently, and suddenly felt something arching his cheek. When he saw that it was the fox holding the fruit and rubbing his face with his face.
Qi Aiguo hugged the fox in his arms and tears flowed down.
The peaches were very small and sour, but she still ate them. Qi Aiguo was a fisherman's family. She knew how to deal with them. She collected dry firewood, ordered them using Taoism, cut them into pieces, and grilled them.
The white fox was very happy to eat the grilled fish and caught fish in the pond. The fox liked Qi Aiguo very much and always wrapped around Qi Aiguo. After eating, the white fox pulled Qi Aiguo to the open-air cave. At this time, the rain passed and the sky was clear. The cool breeze was like water at night. A moon hung high in the night sky. The moonlight fell. When the moonlight was under the moonlight, the white fox let go, stood up halfway, and posed: "Jiji".
"Do you want me to learn?" Qi Aiguo couldn't help but feel funny. The master had clearly said that there was no essence of sun and moon that could be absorbed in this world. Then he thought that the fox seemed to have made the right posture and sucked into the air. He saw a trace of silver light falling from the moon and poured into his mouth.
When swallowing, the fox was shocked, which made Qi Aiguo stunned. After watching for a long time, he said, "Monster? I heard from the master that although there are legends in the folk, there are never monsters."
The fox ignored it and stopped for a long time. His eyes became more spiritual. After thinking about it, he rushed out, stretched his claws and dug out a few herbs, turned around and went into the hole again.
"Is it me to treat the injury?" Qi Aiguo took it, and suddenly shed tears, and tears fell on his cheeks. The white fox seemed to know Qi Aiguo's sadness and approached him gently and slightly arched beside him.
The fox screamed a few times, and she hugged her: "Fox, you are so nice. Mom is gone, dad is gone, and even master is gone. I have only you."
Pinghu County
The sun shone with heat, and 30,000 troops came, and the flags covered the clouds for several miles, and they could not see the tail at first sight. According to the Daxu system, each of them held weapons, wore armor, and had a serious face.
Pei Ziyun arrived at the city and saw that it was impossible to keep a line on the way. This was impossible for any army to complete. However, when he arrived at the city, he raised his flag and returned to the team. His army was showing a strict appearance. Soon, most of them rolled in, with flags gathering two miles outside the city.
Under the flag of the central army, more than 30 officials followed the army, with a compassionate expression, captured Yuan'an County, raised a butcher's knife, and confiscated three hundred families in one breath, killing people. The news came out. Before the army arrived, all the counties surrendered and responded to the call of the court.
Liu Dian, the county magistrate of Zanze County, had a little hot weather, and his forehead was bright and bright, and said, "Real person, I see the army is in full swing. Pinghu County will not dare to resist the heavenly soldiers."
Pei Ziyun took a look and had to admit that people are very cheap. After killing, they naturally became docile. He smiled and said, "Some of them are different because I brought out elite troops in Beijing."
"As long as the county soldiers have suppressed the thieves and seen blood, they can only be used." Pei Ziyun said this and asked, "Pinghu County has arrived. Which adult came forward to persuade the surrender?"
At that moment, more than 30 officials looked at each other. Liu Dian, the magistrate of Zanze County, touched his forehead and suddenly stood up: "Real person, I am willing to go."
"Oh?" Pei Ziyun was stunned, a little surprised. Whether it was for the sake of credit or other reasons, his attitude was very appropriate. He said immediately: "Good, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will remember your achievements."
"Zhengren Xie, what conditions can I afford to surrender to Pinghu County?" Liu Dian actually got close to him and knew the news about Pinghu County in secret, but he would not say that at this time. He bowed and asked.
"If the troops and horses have not fought, they will surrender to the city. This can be considered a response. If the previous crime is not investigated, the real person will never break his promise." Pei Ziyun saw it, but said lightly.
"Yes, real person, I'll do it right away." Liu Dian immediately showed joy and headed towards the city.
Chen Yong from one side stepped forward and whispered: "Real person, is this inappropriate?"
Listening to Chen Yong's words, Pei Ziyun laughed: "First of all, the key to military strategy lies in politics, and politics lies in snowballing and forming a general trend."
"There are five counties in Jibei Marquis. I am now in Qibei County and Yuan'an County. Once Pinghu County descended, the avalanche was formed. The other two counties had no intention of fighting, and even if the upper party wanted to fight, the lower party would not agree."
"You see, the county magistrate surrendered, and then the counties surrendered one after another, and the county surrendered without fighting. Isn't that a merit? If you can still set an example and persuade other county governments to surrender, it would be fine even if you ask for merit from the court."
Seeing that Chen Yong seemed to be still gathering, Pei Ziyun chuckled: "The key is the crown prince's order. The court urgently needs us to quickly pacify Yingzhou. We don't have that much time to get entangled. For this, what if there is some criticism?"
"Yes, the real person." Chen Yong understood now. He watched Liu Dian shouting under the city. The man was not afraid of death. He approached the wall and shouted loudly.
After a while, the city gate opened with a "boom", and the officers inside came out in a row, knelt on the ground to greet him, and Pinghu County surrendered.
