Bohai County, also known as Bohai County, is a border county of the Han Dynasty, located near the sea.
Its jurisdiction includes Fuyang, Yangxin, Dongguang, Fucheng, Zhangwu, Zhongyi, Wen'an and other counties, covering a huge area.
Among them, Yangxin became famous because Han Xin conquered Qi from Yan and garrisoned Gudu River.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Jinan’s beautiful horse mane.
Bai Nanyu noticed Liu Qing's gaze, dwarfed her body, and saluted, "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
"No need to be polite." Liu Qing glanced at Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing said calmly: "How is the progress?"
Bai Nanyu replied: "The Yanjiao Mountain Gate is hidden in the mountains of Bohai County."
Zhao Ponu also brought several deployments, including people under Xiu Yi who were dedicated to spying on information in order to cooperate with the march, and added:
"There are about two thousand members directly under the Yan Sect. Some of the members are hiding in surrounding counties, and most of them are pretending to be merchants to make money.
Yanjiao's main method of making money is to control coastal commercial affairs, and he has many fishing boats under his jurisdiction."
"This is a member of the Yan Sect. Their identities hidden in various places are all under the surveillance and control of my subordinate Xiu Yi."
The embroiderer who spoke was Xiao Ying, who handed over a slip.
Huo Qubing did not go to pick him up, but said:
"If a local sect is used to train troops, I won't look at it. You can decide how to attack it."
In a confrontation with a sect, Huo Qubing had no desire to lead and participate in the battle.
Bai Nanyu said: "Master Hou, we have formulated two battle plans with different directions. The first one is to directly lead troops to wipe out the Yan religion."
"The second method is that the people under my command have also received the post from the Yan Sect. I want to go to its mountain gate to find out their purpose of gathering sects from various places recently.
The traces of the leader of the Yan Sect have not yet been determined. If we directly lead the troops to attack, it will not be a problem to wipe out the Yan Sect, but the leader of the Yan Sect may slip through the net."
Huo Qubing saw that Liu Qing's eyes were slightly bright, and he looked a little eager to try, so he smiled and said, "Do you want to go and see Yan Jiao?"
"Yeah." Liu Qing has been practicing for many years and has always dreamed of traveling around the world and becoming a heroine.
Now is the opportunity.
The local sect is not difficult to attack and does not have much risk, so it is very suitable for satisfying Liu Qing's wishes.
Huo Qubing took a look at Bai Nanyu, who was wearing a bronze mask and a dark skirt, with her head lowered.
She had had several brief contacts with Liu Qing in the past. Based on her experience traveling around the world, it would not be unusual for her to guess Liu Qing's preferences through her words.
In other words, when she proposed to enter Yan Jiao to find out, she probably had the intention of catering to Liu Qing’s preferences?
There are quite a lot of silent plots among women.
"Then go to Yan Jiao and take a look before taking action."
"Wei!"
A group of people immediately took action.
"Zhao Ponu, you are coming to the east with your troops. Do any local officials know about it?" Huo Qubing asked.
The generals under his command, with Zhao Ponu's military talent, are barely above average, and have reached the first level of heaven and man. They have followed him for several years, and have dabbled in the art of war, marching, and other techniques, and gradually gained the ability to stand alone.
"Replying to the command of the commander, the general will fight as a surprise attack. He will march the entire field and pass through the city without entering.
After the soldiers and horses arrived at Bohai County, they hid their troops in the mountains. The general thought to himself that unless he was a general or a general with the rank of Lang Zhongling, he could find out where his troops were hiding just by observing his Qi. Others would not know that the general had hidden his troops.
The troops are here."
Zhao Ponu said respectfully: "I went to the city to investigate in person, and I was very careful."
……
Bohai County has many mountains, and Jieshi Mountain is within its territory.
Yanjiao Mountain Gate is backed by a mountain. It is located in a hidden location and is surrounded by mountains.
There is a mountain-sealing formation outside it. Once activated, the mountain gate can be hidden in the mist, making it almost invisible.
"The Mountain Sealing Formation of the Yan Sect can use the power of mountains and rivers for its own use, and its protective power is very strong."
Bai Nanyu led the way, and the group entered the mountain at nightfall, approaching the location of Yanjiao Mountain Gate.
The sky is filled with stars.
In the wilderness ahead, the light of candles faintly emerged.
"It's just ahead. I've been to Yanjiao Mountain Gate once before. They operate it secretly, and I'm afraid they have something to do with local officials."
The gray forces between light and darkness have existed in all dynasties.
Some of these sects will comply with the official actions, while others will sneak around in the dark, use force to violate the prohibitions, and commit all kinds of evil.
Most of them have their own set of rules for how they behave.
It's almost night time.
Bai Nanyu, Huo Qubing and others passed through many wild passes and finally arrived at the mountain gate of Yan Jiao.
Zhao Ponu and other tribesmen did not accompany him, but were waiting in the dark.
In addition to being one of the nine Zonghengdao deities, Bai Nanyu also travels around the world as the leader of a lineage, and has a considerable status in the sect.
She went directly to the gate of Yanjiao Mountain and handed over the greeting card. Among the people accompanying her were Huo Qubing and Liu Qing who had changed their appearance.
In addition, there are two people, the Matryoshka Doll Ghost Warrior and the Tall Ghost Warrior, who are performing the Hundred Ghost Night Walking Technique. Their bodies are light and dormant in the shadows, secretly looking at Huo Qubing and Liu Qing.
The couple dressed up a little, and their physical appearance changed a little due to exercise skills, turning into two handsome young men and women, and they followed Bai Nanyu to worship at the mountain.
Liu Qing was very interested and looked at the surrounding environment with shining eyes.
The mountain gate of Yanjiao is located on a high ground, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The village is like a small city, but it does have some atmosphere.
There is also a small village at the foot of the mountain, which can be regarded as their outpost and outer gate.
What's special is that the Lingwei Soldier Talisman in Huo Qubing's Sea of Knowledge lit up slightly when he approached the gate of Yanjiao Mountain.
"Sect Master Bai!"
The tribesmen stationed at the Yanjiao Mountain Gate showed awe-inspiring expressions when they saw the greeting card submitted by Bai Nanyu. They quickly sent someone to inform them and asked Bai Nanyu to enter the mountain gate and wait.
The Yanjiao Mountain Gate is built halfway up a majestic peak, and there are still many people coming and going after nightfall.
Every three or five steps in the village, someone stands with a sword in hand and the lights are brightly lit.
Not long after walking through the mountain gate, they came to the outside of a palace. A woman in her thirties or forties who still had charm, wearing a beige robe, walked out gracefully, and looked at Bai Nanyu carefully for a while.
, curled his lips and said: "No wonder the Pope saw you once and never forgot about you."
"Let's go."
The woman continues to lead the way.
After half a tea, the group came to the depths of the mountain gate.
In a palace here, there are three or four people sitting on low seats, three men and one woman, with different shapes.
"These are the core figures of the Yan Sect. They gathered late at night. I'm afraid they have important matters to discuss. We came at the right time." Bai Nanyu said in a voice.
"Do these people know that you have joined me?"
"Looking at them taking the initiative to send me posts and inviting me to participate in sect gatherings, it shows that they don't know.
Otherwise, they should have thought that if I reported to Huo Hou, it would bring them life-or-death trouble."
Bai Nanyu responded via voice: "However, the leader of the Yan Sect knows that I am a member of the Zonghengdao, but he does not know my specific position within the sect."
At this time, Bai Nanyu was led to a low mat at the front of the hall and took a seat. The entourage was either sitting or standing, following behind her.
Several people in the hall were looking at Bai Nanyu and his party.
"Sect Master Bai, you are indeed here, very good!"
The moment Bai Nanyu took his seat, a figure appeared out of thin air where the main seat was, as fast as a ghost. It was the leader of the Yan Sect.
He is wearing a black long robe with large sleeves, cuffs, waist and abdomen embroidered with unknown incantations, sewn with gold thread, very gorgeous.
He also wears a crown on his head, which is a king-level crown and is very impressive.
He looks to be around fifty, but is actually older. He has a long and thin face, sharp eyes like an eagle, a slightly flat nose, thin lips, deep nasolabial folds, and a sinister face.
"Sect Leader Bai, I didn't expect you to come personally. It seems you are very sincere."
The leader of the Yan Sect let out a chuckle, staring at Bai Nanyu with gleaming eyes, his eagerness flashed away: "I wonder if Sect Master Bai has thought about my proposal?"
Bai Nanyu remained calm: "What proposal?"
"If you marry me as your concubine, or let me break your Yuan Yin and let me play with you for three months, I will let you read the secret scriptures mastered by my sect as you please, and I will never break my promise." The leader of Yan Sect said.
"Isn't this Bai Nanyu a little widow?" Liu Qing heard the leader of the Yan Sect speak and quietly asked Huo Qubing.
What she means is, where did the widow get her vitality?
Bai Nanyu's origins were investigated again by his daughter-in-law... Huo Qubing was thinking about it.
Bai Nanyu responded to the leader of the Yan Sect: "You are overthinking. I am not here to negotiate terms with you."
"If you don't negotiate terms, what are you doing here?"
The leader of the Yan Sect smiled and said: "Now that you are here, Sect Leader Bai still wants to leave?
I heard that Zonghengdao provoked the generals of the DPRK and was wiped out several times. Its strength has declined and is not as good as before. If you still want to rely on the power of Zonghengdao to come in and out of my Yan Sect at will, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Then he said proudly: "Zonghengdao is really stupid. Nuo's great power has caused it to fall apart."
Bai Nanyu: "So you and several other sects from all over the world have joined forces to gather together. What do you want to do?"
The Lord of the Yan Sect: "In the current situation, the Han army and the surrounding tribes are frequently fighting. When all parties are fighting, it is the time for us to earn benefits. The Huns, and your Zonghengdao people, all come to my Yan
I've been here before, and I want to lend my hand, the Master of Yan, to help them."
Bai Nanyu thought for a while: "So, by joining forces with other sects, you are helping the Xiongnu and Zonghengdao?"
The leader of the Yan Sect smiled and said: "So what?"
"Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will take action upon hearing this and destroy your Yan religion?"
"Not to mention that I, Yan Jiao, have been operating for many years and have my own sources of information. If the troops in the DPRK move, I will be the first to know.
Secondly, the people under my command can board the ship and sail out to sea within a few hours. What can the soldiers and horses in the court do to me?
No matter how bad things go, this mountain-protecting formation of our Yan Sect is not a place that the Han army can easily break."
The leader of the Yan Sect said sonorously and forcefully: "You Zonghengdao and other parties value our Yan Sect only because of the large number of ships our sect controls."
Huo Qubing listened for a moment and thought: This guy is probably not a fool. He tried his best to show off the strength of the Yan religion in front of Bai Nanyu. He just mentioned the Xiongnu and Zonghengdao. Now he said that he has many ships and can move forward and retreat freely, so he has nothing to fear.
.Judging from his attitude, he is waiting for a price.
If the Xiongnu can provide him with sufficient reward, he will do things for the Xiongnu.
Ships, Xiongnu, Zonghengdao... the connection of these things shows that the Xiongnu, under the connection of Zonghengdao, tried to use the sect power within the Han Dynasty to achieve certain goals.
The method they want to use is most likely to use the coastline to mobilize troops and attack the Han Dynasty.
The Lord of the Yan Sect would never have thought that Huo Qubing would be able to catch Zonghengdao's plan to secretly connect with the Xiongnu through just a few words of his own.
If the Xiongnu soldiers and horses were to board ships from the eastern border of Liaoxi County of the Han Dynasty and march along the coastline, would it be possible to avoid the Han border guards and send a team in to penetrate the Han territory?
The real purpose of Yudu was probably to take advantage of the chaos within the Han Dynasty and make an all-out effort to conquer the Western Regions.
This is a strategy to attack the east and attack the west.
Huo Qubing also did not expect that Naozi, who had the impromptu intention to accompany Liu Qing to sneak into the enemy camp, would gain insight into the strategic direction of the next stage of Fengdu and Zonghengdao.
When the Ling'an Soldier Talisman left Chang'an, it pointed eastward, which was indeed good luck.
If the guess is correct, it can indeed reduce the big man's losses a lot.
In addition, after the leader of the Yan Sect appeared, the Lingpo Soldier Talisman lit up again.
Huo Qubing glanced at Liu Qing beside him.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is experiencing the feeling of sneaking into the enemy camp, listening attentively to the conversation between Bai Nanyu and the leader of the Yan Sect.
"You want to marry me?" Bai Nanyu asked.
"It was true before, but now I have changed my mind, not only about marrying you."
Two rays of cold light as cold as swords appeared in the eyes of the leader of Yan Jiao, and suddenly turned to Liu Qing who was sitting behind Bai Nanyu:
"My Nether Eye Technique can observe all kinds of energy in the world, and I am especially good at observing the physique of women. I knew before I met you that you are naturally charming, and if I stay in bed with you, it will be the best enjoyment.
But you, this attendant, seem to be no ordinary person.
The aura she carries gives me a very special impression, and her physique is even more special. Since you two have surrendered to me, Yan Jiao, there is no need to leave."
Bai Nanyu raised the corners of her mouth: "Master Yan, you are the most courageous person I have ever seen."
