At night, the city gate was quietly pushed open by soldiers, and a group of people walked out of the city gate in the dark.
"Brother Yang, let's just say goodbye!"
Luo Jiming bowed his hands to Xu Tong and said goodbye. They both came from the military and were not so pretentious. Xu Tong nodded: "Goodbye!"
After saying that, he kicked the stirrup and the horse started running straight along the trail behind.
Xu Tong was alone on this trip, but Zhang Yishan had disappeared. However, Xu Tong knew that the old guy was not far away and followed him unhurriedly.
After taking a look at the box on the horse's leg, Xu Tong felt that this transaction was not a bad one.
Although Zhang Yishan didn't quite believe his words, he obviously knew the identity of his player.
After the two argued for a while, Zhang Yishan finally taught Xu Tong the first half of the Zixiao Divine Thunder Talisman.
Why is there only the first half?
Zhang Yishan's explanation is that only the heavenly masters of the past dynasties can do the second half.
Although Xu Tong didn't quite believe what the old Taoist said, Zhang Yishan bit him to death and only gave him the first half, so Xu Tong had no choice.
Fortunately, even the upper part of the Zixiao Divine Thunder Talisman is of great significance to me.
The spell is not difficult. I know the thunder talisman myself, and with the understanding of the thunder spell by the second soul Xiaopangsha, I can practice it easily.
Xu Tong closed his eyes and meditated. In the sea of consciousness, Xiaopangsha had already clasped his hands, with a serious look on his baby-fat face. A ray of purple light twined around his fingertips. This was the Lei Miao of the Zixiao Talisman. As long as
Once cultivated, it can be integrated with the second soul, making Xiaopangsha's strength even further.
Xu Tong rode his horse and did not stop to rest until dawn the next day.
"Boss, how long will it take for you to arrive?
"
Gao Zhuo's inquiry came from the team channel. Gao Zhuo had already met up with Li Bo, Lao Bai and the others.
This guy didn't take any detours and didn't stop during the process. Naturally, he arrived a few days earlier than Xu Tong.
As for myself, I need to make a big detour to get to Langshan.
"It will probably take another two or three days."
Xu Tong took out the map, looked at the direction, and said to Gao Zhuo and others.
"Free, what about you??"
After a while, I heard Chang Wuzhen say in the team channel; "I won't go back for the time being. I found a good job here in Beiman. In addition, leave me a few spaces in the warehouse. I want to handle it."
Transfer the last few prop cards first."
It turned out that when Gao Zhuo was pulling the Vitality Chariot, Chang Wuju had already quietly climbed onto the Vitality Chariot taking advantage of the chaos.
The black water dragon tooth in his hand has a spell-breaking effect and can easily cut through the shield of the vitality chariot. He originally wanted to cooperate with Xu Tong's attack, but when he saw Xu Tong retreated with one successful attack, he simply
The vitality chariot is hidden.
In this way, Chang Wugu can act as an informant here. If there is any information, he can notify Xu Tong and others as soon as possible, and even destroy the vitality chariot when necessary.
"Be careful. Don't attack Yeluqi if you are not sure. This guy has a ray of Xiao Leshan's will hidden in him. Once there is danger, he will be awakened immediately!"
Xu Tong understood Chang Wuju's plan, but reminded him to be careful again.
On the vitality chariot at that time, Xiao Leshan's consciousness revived. Not only did he defeat his own killer move with one sword, but he also had the energy to attack him first and later.
It can be seen that this man's swordsmanship is even higher than his own, and he is indeed ranked third in the world.
Originally, this guy just wanted to force him back and save the face of his nephew Yeluqi, but he didn't know that Xu Tong wanted to give him a slap in the face even if he was injured.
Although it didn't cause any real harm, it was enough to make the No. 3 in the world uncomfortable for a while.
"Okay, don't worry."
Chang Wugu said that he didn't have a big problem here. He was different from Gao Zhuo, Gu Xibai and even Xu Tong. He didn't have any ability to practice on his own and simply followed the props enhancement route.
Pretending to be an ordinary person makes it less likely to be seen through.
Xu Tong took a short rest and then prepared to continue on his way.
But when he just got on the horse, he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced sideways at the forest beside him.
"Sure enough, it's still here!"
Not many people came, but there were still about ten people.
These people just followed Xu Tong not far behind, and had no intention of taking action against Xu Tong. They were more like a group of annoying little tails, following him closely, constantly sending intelligence to the people behind them, and reporting on themselves.
s position.
These people are all good masters, some of whom have even entered the Taoist realm, but if Xu Tong is willing, he can kill them in an instant.
However, Xu Tong just patted the box on the horse and continued walking slowly.
After walking through the mountains and forests and arriving at a small town, Xu Tong walked into a restaurant with a parcel on his back and threw out a golden bean to the waiter: "Today, I will reserve the place. Twelve tables of food and wine will be served to me as soon as possible."
Done."
The waiter was startled when he heard this, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he saw Xu Tong's glare, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly lowered his head and ran into the kitchen.
Xu Tong turned around and looked around: "We are all following you, let's come down and eat together."
After saying that, he found a place to sit down.
The group of people who followed Xu Tong saw Xu Tong eating and drinking, and looked at each other for a while.
After a while, someone finally couldn't help but walked into the hotel, bowed his hand to Xu Tong, and sat on a chair in the corner.
If someone takes the lead, how can others just stand there stupidly?
Soon the hotel lobby was filled with people.
Xu Tong had eaten and drank enough and had just put down his bowl. Seeing this, the others stood up and looked at Xu Tong warily, regardless of the unfinished food in their mouths.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tong just shouted to the waiter: "Let's have another table of the food we just had."
After speaking, he looked at everyone, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can still eat another table."
After hearing this, everyone looked strange for a moment. Seeing that Xu Tong had no intention of leaving, they finally sat down one after another.
It wasn't until everyone had finished eating that Xu Tong got up on his horse and continued on his way.
They walked like this for two consecutive days, Xu Tong stopped, they stopped, Xu Tong rested, and everyone else also rested. Even the money for food and accommodation in the inn, Xu Tong generously paid for it.
It was as if they were a tourist group, traveling behind the tour guide Xu Tong.
Gradually, some people began to feel a little embarrassed.
"Yang Daxia, you are a brave man and a magnanimous person. I admire you. I don't dare to disturb you anymore and I will leave now!"
A follower walked up to Xu Tong while he was lying in the shade of a tree taking an afternoon break. After saying goodbye, he sighed, turned around and left.
There were five or six other people leaving together.
Now that Yang Hong had discovered them, he did not kill them. He was very merciful. Not only did he ignore the past grudges, he even invited them to dinner and drinks. He never played any tricks on them. This is moral.
Even though these people in the world are not very powerful and come from humble backgrounds, they still know what integrity is. Many of them were immediately shaken and refused to follow, even if they would be punished by their masters after they returned, they still accepted it.
When the rest of the people who didn't leave took a look, they couldn't help but feel bad, thinking to themselves: "Fuck, we agreed to follow us together. You are moral, so you leave first. We are all despicable people."
."
After thinking about it, he slapped his thigh: "Yes, I am also a hero. I will not do such a shameful thing."
Someone immediately stood up.
"Brothers, over that mountain is Wolf Mountain. As the saying goes, Jianghu is about Jianghu. Since Yang Daxia wants to join the army to serve the country, we are definitely not traitors who betray the country and seek glory. Yang Daxia, our rivers and lakes will never change.
There will be a meeting later, brothers have withdrawn!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone dispersed and left on their own.
Xu Tong got up from the ground and took a look. He couldn't help but scratch his head. He didn't have so many good intentions. He originally thought of dragging these people over to join the army, but he didn't realize that they were more open-minded. He said with a dumb smile: "Those who are loyal will be slaughtered."
Dogs, the ancients have never deceived me."
After looking at the sky, he called Gao Zhuo in the team channel so that he didn't need to bring people to capture the young men. Then he got on his horse and prepared to go straight to the Langshan Camp.
Only after Xu Tong left did several figures in night clothes quietly appear.
Several people looked at each other, and one of them took off his mask: "Humph, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, I said that nothing can happen if you rely on these reckless people."
Another person took off his mask, and it turned out to be a one-eyed dragon. He waved his hand and said: "This person is indeed unusual, but he will not have a good life for a few days. When he joins the military and is under the control of the court, Uncle Guo wants to
It’s easy to deal with him.”
This is the reason why people in the world are unwilling to join the imperial court.
No matter how powerful you are, once you enter the court and become an official, you must act in accordance with the laws and rules of the court.
The rules and regulations in this are like a tight curse on your head. Even if you are the Monkey King, you must still be a Bima Wen.
But a few people didn't know that the uncle they were talking about would soon face the darkest moment in his life. When he was old, he could not bear to be reminded of these glorious years.
I couldn't help but burst into tears...
Under the Langshan Camp.
Wu Jie and others had already put on their neat armor early in the morning and were waiting outside the camp gate.
As the commander-in-chief of this resistance against the Northern Barbarians, Wu Jie was actually waiting outside the camp in person today. One can imagine how important this person is.
Not only Wu Jie was looking forward to it, but several generals were also looking up with their heads raised.
The emperor personally conferred the title of Marquis Shenwu, which was a great honor and had not appeared again for decades.
What's more, Yang Hong's amazing record is there.
When Wu Jie got the news that Xu Tong kicked Di Qiu and slapped the crown prince outside Shenwu Pass, he couldn't help but laugh to the sky. He had never felt so comfortable for a moment.
Even on that day, Wu Jie wrote a handwritten letter himself and read it in public. It was full of ridicule and sarcasm. After reading it, he sent the letter to the Northern Barbarian camp for Xiao Chi to read.
When Wu Jie thought of Xiao Chi's depressed face, he felt extremely comfortable.
On the same day, Xiao Chi ordered the entire army to retreat thirty miles.
This was undoubtedly a powerful booster for the Tiangan army, and the morale of the entire army was unprecedentedly high.
Now that this cardiotonic agent has finally arrived in the main force, Wu Jie and others couldn't be more excited.
With the addition of the Shenwu Marquis, Wu Jie has made up his mind to give up his original plan to hold on and prepare to fight to the death with the Northern Barbarians!
Waiting anxiously.
Suddenly a team came slowly from the front.
Everyone cheered up at first: "Here we come!
"
But then, when he saw clearly the banner held high by this team, his face suddenly fell.
I saw a big word "Xu" written on the big flag.
The big flag is embroidered with gold and has a lion on it. This is the unique flag of Xu Lai's family. Xu Lai will sit in the temple and will never leave the capital in person unless he has to.
So the person who came must not be Xu Lai.
The person who held this banner last time was none other than the donkey-headed general who was criticized wildly by everyone, Lu Yanfang.
This name is now cursed by everyone in the military.
If he hadn't been greedy for merit and rushed forward, causing the 30,000 former troops to be strangled and routed by the barbarians, how could they have been so passive? What's even more annoying is that after Lu Yanfang was rescued by the masters around him and returned to Lin'an, he was not punished at all.
This incident also became the biggest shame since Wu Jie led the army.
Therefore, when everyone saw this familiar flag again, their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt as if their teammates were coming to visit.
"Master Guozhu has gone too far!"
A young general was so angry that he cursed in the street.
"Shut up!"
Wu Jie's expression changed, and he immediately scolded everyone, lowering his voice and saying, "Don't speak nonsense!"
After saying that, he quickly stepped forward and met the convoy.
As soon as Wu Jie and others approached, the motorcade stopped immediately. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a young man in his twenties stepped out of the carriage.
When Wu Jie saw it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "It's broken!"
He recognized the young man in front of him, no, it should be said that there were few people in the whole world who didn't recognize him. Even if he had never met him, he had heard of this guy's name.
The second ancestor, Xu Fan.
Xu Lai's biological son and today's uncle.
Although the background is scary, this guy is a complete idiot. If he is a idiot, forget it, but he is still a playboy who does all kinds of evil.
Compared with Yeluqi, this guy is not even qualified to carry Yeluqi's shoes.
“Why is this guy here??”
Wu Jie secretly complained in his heart. He sent away a big head named Lu, and now another Dandy from the Xu family came.
This person is even more troublesome than the one named Lu. He can still give orders to Lu Yanfang with a stern face. Even if the other party won't listen to him, at least he looks decent on the surface.
But facing his own teacher's own son, this dandy young man, Wu Jie felt uncertain for a while.
When the guards who followed Xu Fan saw Wu Jie's expression on the verge of tears, they knew what the old guy was thinking. They immediately stepped forward and said, "General Wu doesn't need to see anyone. We are here to commend the three armies. Never participate in military and political affairs!"
Hearing the guard's words, Wu Jie felt relieved. Although the other party was still here to gain military glory, at least this time he didn't have to worry about the other party clamoring to lead the army to fight. Without this constraint, Wu Jie didn't mind either. Give a share of the military merits and place it on the head of this dandy uncle.
"General Wu, thank you for your hard work. You still have to put up such a big show to welcome me. It's so polite."
Xu Fan stood on the shaft of the carriage and saw the soldiers lined up neatly around him. His face lit up and said, "Quickly, take out the silver reward from the back and distribute it among the soldiers."
Xu Fan immediately ordered the silver coins from the carriages behind him to be carried down and delivered to the military account. The box was opened, and inside was neat silver.
However, what Xu Fan didn't expect was that in the face of these silver coins, no one among the soldiers would take a second look.
There was even a hint of anger in some people's eyes.
They are fighting at the front, and these people come to pick up what is ready. What is the use of giving them these two cents of silver? Can it exchange for their lives?
As if he noticed that the atmosphere was getting colder, Xu Fan's face gradually began to look less good.
"Wait, look over there!
"
At this time, someone in the army pointed to the mound on the other side and shouted with joy: "The general is back!
"
Everyone followed the shout and saw a white horse slowly appearing on the mound in the distance. Xu Tong, who had changed into military uniform, was riding towards this side on a war horse...
