The second time he interrogated Yideng, Jiang Feng was much more detailed. Before, he just asked casually and had no expectations in his heart, but it turned out that this guy was a weakling who couldn't lie and everything he said was the truth. So he casually threatened Yideng with a few words.
Immediately, he was so frightened that his whole body became paralyzed, and he was unable to speak clearly. However, because he was only a foundation-building disciple, only two parts were useful in the end.
The first part involves his uncle Hongzhi. This person's origin is unknown and he was not originally a disciple of Tianyin Temple. One day twenty-one years ago, Tongguang suddenly brought him back and announced that he had been admitted to the sect in front of three disciples.
Qiang was accepted as a closed disciple. At that time, Hongzhi was only in the first stage of foundation building. Yideng still heard from his master about this matter. Hongzhi once saved Jianxing Yisheng's life, so the relationship between the two was very good.
Judging from these confessions, the origin of Hongzhi is the key. Jiang Feng originally guessed that he was Tong Guang's illegitimate son, but Yi Deng categorically rejected this because at the end of every year, Tong Guang would chant sutras in the Hall of Immortality in Wuliang City, and many disciples
Listen there, and when you get to the exciting part, the ever-burning lamp behind the same light will bloom into a pattern like seven lotuses, which is a sign that you are not close to women.
Oh, it turns out that there are such mysterious things. It seems that Hongzhi originally followed Master Tongguang as a model, but after so many years of keeping his integrity like jade, once he escaped overseas, he lost all restraints and broke his merits casually. Thinking about it, it will still be a long-term
Staying at Tianyin Temple is because there are too many rules and regulations.
The other part involves Song Zixun. Jiang Feng originally wanted to ask something about the defense here, but Yideng's cultivation level is so poor that he has no chance to participate in the secrets. The things that can reach his ears are basically spread among the military.
Gossip. According to Yideng, Song Zixun’s fiancé died a few days ago, so her master sent her to Tianyin Temple to get acquainted with Jindan monk Yang Qingze, Gong Yekai’s proud disciple.
The two sects had a good relationship. However, although Yang Qingze was happy, Song Zixun seemed unwilling, so he ran from Qingxin City on the southern line guarded by Yang Qingze to Wuchen City on the northern line.
Thinking about it, her fiancé should be Qin Yifan. She originally wanted to go to Li Zong to establish a career, but she and Black Whale jointly killed her. She went to Wuchen City with the intention of dissolving the knot in her heart, but she was deceived by someone else.
, caught it and gave it to him as a testimony of sincerity in cooperation. Jiang Feng automatically added the subsequent plot. As for Yang Qingze, this animal is now in Qingxin City, across the river from Leiyun City.
The most powerful golden elixir in Tianyin Temple is second only to its leader Chen Fahe, so one should be careful.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment, took off his full Yidengpao and locked it up again. When heading south, he had already informed Zheng Yiyu with a "seven-color note", ordering him to move the intelligence network southward as soon as possible, although he hoped that it would be
Okay, but he hasn't received any response yet, and presumably it's still being transferred.
Just after settling down, Shen Lang, who was good at the "Five Elements Escape Technique", was ordered to cross the river and explore within a hundred miles around Qingxin City. However, after Yi Deng's confession, Jiang Feng ordered him to stay away from the city defense formation to avoid being captured alive by the opponent.
After waiting for two days, when Zheng Yiyu sent the first information, Shen Lang also came back at the same time, bringing back bad news. Only a few low-level monks from the guarding monks in Qingxin City left, and there was no large-scale retreat.
meaning.
Didn't we agree to deploy monks all the way south, from the coastal area to the hinterland of the Qing Yu Sect? Of course, Jian Xing did not explain it in detail, and the rest was made up by himself, but Shen Lang's reconnaissance was enough to prove that Jian Xing
The plan mentioned by Xing did not succeed.
Could it be because of Song Zixun's disappearance? In that case, seeing Xing's move would be self-defeating. However, there is another possibility: seeing Xing was lying.
Then the problem becomes serious. All the main forces of the Jincheng League have withdrawn to the eastern front, leaving the two weak brigade themselves and Leng Tingtao. Wouldn't it be easy to be eaten?
While thinking about it, I heard the rumbling sound from the city defense formation outside. My heart trembled, and I immediately flew out of the tent, only to see several groups of light blooming like ripples on the gray formation shield, and that formation In addition, more than thirty monks have been gathered.
"Are they going to attack the city now?" Wei Ruoguang stopped beside Jiang Feng with a solemn look on his face.
"It's not like that, otherwise there wouldn't be so few people." After observing for a while, Jiang Feng had already seen some clues. Among the thirty monks, there was only one Jindan, and it was not Yang Qingze. Referring to the portrait given by Yideng, he should be One of them, "Qiu Shifeng", had average abilities and was not outstanding. The rest were foundation-building monks with varying levels of cultivation. There were even three or four Qi practitioners who hid on the flying swords of their colleagues. , occasionally throwing out a few talismans and laughing, which is better than strolling in the garden, without any nervousness.
Are you kidding me?
Jiang Feng is not worried about how much damage an attack of this intensity can cause to Thundercloud City's city defense formation. Because the "Rock Turtle Eight Pillar Heart Guarding Formation" here is actually a top-grade earth-based shield, it requires at least four The golden elixir monks bombarded it with all their strength for an hour and a half before they showed signs of decline. Although the Qing Yu Sect did not have many spirit stones left in the formation, they could still maintain it a few times as long as they were filled.
"Master, do you want to go out to meet the enemy?" Wei Ruoguang stayed for a long time and felt the opponent's humiliation. It was not difficult to find that many monks were pointing across the formation and seemed to be commenting on something.
"Let's take a look at the situation first and give orders. It's forbidden to go out. There's no need to take action, but you can't underestimate the enemy. Patrol the city gates to avoid falling into their strategy of seducing the east and attacking the west. Have all the ordinary people in the city been evacuated?"
"Wu Tiande used the land deeds of several Jinguang Pavilion shops as rewards, hired a group of street gangsters, pretended to be people who had escaped from the Northern Line, and released false news, saying that several small towns around Gujing City on the Northern Line had been destroyed by Jinguang Pavilion. They were all slaughtered, so the people here were so frightened that they all ran away. The total number of people, old and young, left in the city will not exceed 200, so we can completely close the city gate and hold on here."
"This guy is quite treacherous. He knew that this place is adjacent to Tianyin Temple, and he had a good impression of their monks, so he used the name of Jinguang Pavilion." Wang Xiandao, who was also standing aside, snorted. He was usually very concerned about Wu Tiande's rogue conduct. Dissatisfaction is now used here. Although it is a bit evil, it can still be considered a moderate use.
The monks from Tianyin Temple attacked for half an hour and then retreated. However, before everyone who had been nervous for a long time could rest for a moment, another wave of monks flew over, still led by a Jindan, with more than 20 monks under his command. , bombarding the formation non-stop. Although the power was limited, Jiang Feng, who was defending the city, could not rest. The radius of Leiyun City was seventeen or eight miles. Once the formation was attacked, monks would be stationed in the east, west, south and north to check in case of any eventuality.
A tactic to exhaust troops? It’s so sinister!
When the third wave of attacks came, Jiang Feng finally realized that the enemy was strong and we were weak, but we had the advantage of protecting the city. In this point, the two sides faced each other at close range. It can be said that they knew themselves and the enemy. Tianyin Temple and the others could have surrendered. If he goes out, he will most likely be defeated and defeated, but the opponent actually uses such a despicable method, and it seems that he wants to further reduce the sacrifice.
Other words about seeing sex may be false, but Tianyinji wants to preserve his strength and avoid fearless damage, so it seems to be true.
hiss!
At midnight, after being awakened for the fourth time, Jiang Feng finally got angry and rushed out of the tent, wanting to use the large formation to fight to the death with the opponent. However, the night wind was very cold. He suddenly thought that Tianyin Temple wanted to preserve its strength, so he
Why don't you want to? No matter how many monks there are in Qingxin City across the street, they are only half of the monks in Tianyin Temple. And those in the city now have almost all of their family wealth. Once they are ruined due to impulse, Qianshan Sect can
It's beyond redemption.
No, I want to calm down!
It's a pity that these guys are really hateful! I feel really unwilling to just shrink my head and endure it.
What to do?
Jiang Feng returned to his tent, thought for a long time, called Wu Tiande alone, and asked him to take people to do a secret thing. Then he went straight to the formation, quickly patrolled nearby, and picked up half of the "Seven-Pointed Gray Crystal" in his hand.
He collected two of them in the Whale Sea Islands, and after using half of them on the northern route, there was still some left.
Whoosh!
When a monk was not paying attention, Jiang Feng suddenly walked out of the formation and went straight to a first-level foundation-building monk. He hit the opponent on the waist with a palm, but saw that the monk immediately bled from all his orifices and fell to the ground together with the flying sword. Jiang Feng did not
Lian Zhan immediately returned to the formation and sat on the "Flying Boat against the Wind", but saw the leader Jin Dan following the sound. Hearing the report from his subordinates, he glared at himself fiercely and signaled everyone to take a few dozen steps back.
.
"Do you dare to come out and fight?" This middle-aged Jindan monk is not in Yideng's portrait. Judging from his robes, he looks like a fellow disciple of Song Zixun.
"It's fine here, why bother?" Jiang Feng deliberately made him angry.
"On the day the city is broken, I want you to look good." Na Jindan said harshly and saw that Jiang Feng did not come out to challenge. Taking this opportunity, Wei Ruoguang also sneaked out of the formation and injured a lone foundation player.
He couldn't help but look grim, waved his hand, and retreated with his men.
This time it was quiet for a long time, but when the morning light first appeared, another group came, this time led by two Jindan. In this way, even if Jiang Feng attracted one person's attention, it would be difficult to take advantage. This time, Jiang Feng
Instead, he commanded everyone and practiced with them across a large formation. He also saw that the other party was also training the low-level monks on his side. In this case, why not cooperate with him? He got it from looting shops in the south of Wuchen City.
There are many low-level talismans, and these are the most important ones.
However, he threw away a few magic talismans and retreated in the air, calling Wang Xiandao and Wei Ruoguang to discuss it together.
"here!"
Jiang Feng circled a place on the map, which is Renshou City, one hundred and eighty miles southwest of Qingxin City. It is also the largest city in the middle of Tianyin Temple and the intersection of the north and south trade routes. "This should be regarded as Tianyin Temple's.
There shouldn't be much defense in the hinterland, so if we go and plunder, it should be a worthwhile trip."
"Instead of sitting here and being humiliated, it is better to take the initiative to attack!" Jiang Feng estimated that the harassment from the opposite side will continue for several rounds. Only when his own side is exhausted will he attack with all his troops and give him a thunderous blow. Moreover, he is in a weak position.
, there is no way to resolve it. In this case, it is better to find another way and seek to take the initiative. As Li Rulin, Leng Tingtao's aide, said before, fighting is the best strategy, and fighting in Tianyin Temple is better than fighting in Qing Yuzong.
Much more enjoyable.
Just like this, most of the time it will be known as "taking advantage of the chaos to plunder".
But what does it matter? Even if the Jincheng League wins these territories, it cannot be mine. The Qianshan Sect lost the protection of the patriarchal system because of this battle, so there must be somewhere to make up for the lost "forty-seven years", right?
Wang Xiandao hesitated for a moment, but still disapproved, "If we attack far away, there may be many variables. Although they are really rogues, if Leiyun City can hold on for two more days, and we can explain to the leader without losing a short time, why take the risk?"
"Wealth can be found in danger." Wei Ruoguang agreed with Jiang Feng's idea, "Our Qianshan Sect has always been poor. If we don't take this opportunity to plunder some assets, how can we compensate for the losses in this battle? If the leader hadn't spent thirty third-level coins out of his own pocket before,
I’m afraid our supplies will be in trouble this time.”
"It's true, but..." When he mentioned the spirit stone, Wang Xiandao was speechless. If he really relied on the sect's treasury in this battle, everything would be stretched now. If he hadn't replenished a large amount of elixirs in advance.
and talismans, and everyone was equipped with standard defensive magic weapons according to the situation. In the fierce battle on the northern front, the Asayama Sect's attrition would only be greater.
These can only be exchanged for real spiritual stones. Even though the war is an alliance affair, the alliance has not issued even a single spiritual stone. With the intensity of the opponent's attack, I am afraid that tomorrow and night, I will have to commit suicide.
I dug into my pocket to replenish the spiritual stones consumed by the formation.
Everything must be prepared by oneself, and then think about the previous robbery outside Wuchen City. Because 70% of the profits were promised to individuals and the rest were divided equally, the harvests were fully calculated. A total of four third-level coins were harvested, although most of them were
It is difficult to convert low-level materials into spiritual stones, but for the people of the Qianshan Sect who are used to poverty, it is indeed a huge sum of money.
"There is nothing wrong with it. We just have to be careful." Wei Ruoguang said, "Let's grab it and leave. However, in a hurry, it is easy to attract the other party's attention. When we cross the river, we will most likely be surrounded by them outside the city."
"I have asked Wu Tiande to dig a tunnel outside the east gate. It should be four or five miles away now. Then we will take a detour from here to cross the river." Jiang Feng pointed to a remote ferry, but saw relief on their faces.
All worries are gone.
"What about this Thunder Cloud City?"
"There is nothing to defend an empty city, and it cannot be defended at all. Once we attack Renshou City by surprise, they will most likely have no choice but to run behind us."
…………
Bluestone terrace.
"Rulin, I understand what you mean."
Leng Tingtao reorganized military affairs and inspected the garrison. After returning to the military tent, Li Rulin came to persuade him again, hoping that he would lead his troops to Leiyun City, where the protective formation was more secure, and help defend Jiang Feng, but he still refused.
.
"What I want is this effect." Leng Tingtao walked to the hung map and drew a big cross on Leiyun City. "Think about it, this is our only chance to expand our territory. Even if we win,
, if the Jincheng Sect and Huanglongmen take over the territory of the Qing Yu Sect, what territory will they give us?"
"It's just that..." Li Rulin was startled and took a deep breath, "It's just that the timing is not very good. If Tianyin Temple betrays its trust and the Qianshan Sect is defeated, the probability that we can survive here alone is not high. Moreover, the alliance leader
side……"
"The alliance leader has the alliance leader's thoughts, but I know that Su Liqing and Zuo Zichan would not trust Tianyin Temple gullibly. But they chose to obey the command and went to the Eastern Front. Why?"
"The Eastern Front is certainly anxious, but it is safer. If the alliance is there, the sect will be there." Li Rulin hit the nail on the head.
"Yes, in comparison, the Western Front is in dire straits. Rulin, you'd better think of a way to keep everyone in our Lelin Sect safe!"
"Show strength and do the opposite!" Li Rulin thought for a moment, "Since they are worried about losses, they must choose the weak ones to defeat them first."
"How to make it?"
"I will rush to Li Zong immediately to invite a few prefecture-level casual cultivators to take charge here. Once they arrive, remove the protective formation and look like they are ready for a battle at any time."
"Will they be fooled?" Leng Tingtao expressed deep doubts.
"It's just a delay for a few days, enough to protect yourself."
"That's very good. You go and come back quickly. All the spiritual stones in the library are at Lan Gui's place. Just go and get them." Leng Tingtao threw out a black lacquered tiger talisman.
"yes!"
Li Rulin took the tiger talisman and walked out of the tent without looking back. Although Lan Gui has some business talent, he is actually a villain. He is usually not wanted to see him, but now that the leader has handed over the large treasury from his own hands to
He must have been hired for this kind of dirty work, so as not to tarnish his reputation. In this regard, he somewhat understood the leader's difficulties.
But thinking about Lan Gui's attitude, he felt a little unhappy.
…………
With consensus, things will fall into place.
Jiang Feng, Wang Xiandao, and Wei Ruoguang discussed the map for a while, and then called all the Xuan-level monks to come in and put together the plan. Everyone had different expressions, either excited, nervous, or worried, but overall, they were all
Gearing up, it seems that the previous gains are exciting enough.
Just after the eighth attack on Tianyin Temple, while the sun was tilting, Jiang Feng gathered everyone in one place and changed into their night clothes. Jiang Feng deliberately went out of the formation and looked a mile or two north across the Pantuo River.
After a while in Qingxin City, they attracted the attention of the other side's spies. After less than half an hour, Jiang Feng estimated that everyone had sneaked away through the tunnel excavated by the east gate. Jiang Feng hurried back to the city, taking advantage of the darkness, and headed straight to the east of the city, all the way.
Heading south, until midnight, we finally met up with the people who had gone ahead, and then crossed the Pantuo River, the boundary river between the two sects.
