Di Renjie guessed that the visitor must be someone special. After all, the two thousand Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army led by Li Chenxiang was definitely the most powerful force among the entire Forbidden Army.
But I didn't expect that this "extraordinary" would explode like this. This was His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince of a country.
The two lieutenants, one on the left and one on the right, were Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu. These two were considered the two most capable of fighting among the younger generation of Tang generals.
It stands to reason that Qin Huaiyu has followed Li Zhi for the longest time, almost as if he grew up together. Unfortunately, his talent in cultivation is much worse than Luo Tong.
Qin Huaiyu, who is in his early forties, has just entered the realm of "Golden Immortal", while Luo Tong is already in the late stage of "Golden Immortal".
There is nothing to say about the loyalty of these two people to the Tang Dynasty and to Li Zhi, but the growth of His Majesty the Tang Emperor's cultivation is really outrageous. The two of them are called guards, but they have long been out of reach.
Now that Li Zhi is away, the two have become Li Chenxiang's lieutenants and bodyguards. They can protect and lead the army without any delay.
The demons in the Tang Dynasty have been completely eliminated. The crown prince wants to conquer Tubo in the west, so Xue Rengui will naturally dispatch the most powerful assistants.
Rutuolo followed closely behind Li Chenxiang. This strong man from the Asura clan was now at the peak of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal". Unfortunately, it was already difficult to reach the next level.
"My father has said many times that as long as Chen Xiang can see Mr. Di, he must be treated as a teacher. With the current situation in Tubo, I wonder how Mr. Di can teach me?"
Seeing that Di Renjie was shocked and confused at first, but soon returned to normal, Li Chenxiang respected this person more and more in his heart.
"Does the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty know that there is Di Renjie in the world?"
Regardless of Di Renjie assisting Lady Wu in controlling the power in Tuyuhun, in the past few years, Tuyuhun has also grown from a small country struggling to survive between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to a powerful country that dared to invade Tubo.
His name, Di Renjie, was absolutely resounding throughout Tuyuhun. Even in Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, it became the object of discussion among the upper class.
However, who can compare this kind of reputation and prestige? If compared with Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, it would be too far behind.
Regardless of his status as Prime Minister Tuyuhun, Di Renjie is also a practitioner, and his cultivation in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal" is not for nothing.
As a fellow practitioner, he naturally knew the strength of Tang Emperor Li Zhi.
That person was not only the lord of the Tang Dynasty, but now many small countries around the Tang Dynasty and even the entire southern continent had a tendency to follow the Tang Dynasty.
As for Tang Emperor Li Zhi's "Daluo Jinxian" cultivation, coupled with a series of "horrible" achievements, even Di Renjie, who has never been very convincing, couldn't help but say "convinced".
As a member of the human race, Li Zhi's current personal achievements have surpassed those of countless generations of emperors. Looking at this situation, will the human race have another true "Human Emperor"?
Di Renjie had never seen Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, but the prince in front of him, who was in his early ten years, gave Di Renjie a different feeling.
The relationship between the young prince and his mother's family is not generally strong. With his presence, there is no doubt about the identity of the next king of the Tang Dynasty.
Di Renjie naturally knew the relationship between Lady Wu and Tang Emperor Li Zhi.
If the current trend continues, Tuyuhun will definitely prosper. The key is that after Tuyuhun becomes prosperous, will it still be Tuyuhun?
"My father once said that Mr. Di has the talents of a royal assistant, and his ability is no less than that of Fang Gudujue of the Tang Dynasty. In the list of princes and tutors drawn up by my father for Chenxiang, Mr. Di is firmly ranked first - —"
Just like a father, there is a son. Seeing that a wise man like Di Renjie would lose his mind like this, Li Chenxiang said half truthfully.
Anyway, who wouldn't want to hear something nice? Would Di Renjie still go to confront his father?
In fact, Li Chenxiang has grown so old that, except for King Luo Bin last year, he has never had a proper master.
Even if he paid homage to King Luo Bin, it would only give him a title in the East Palace.
Not even a few months after becoming a disciple, Li Chenxiang joined the army to conquer the demon clan.
On the contrary, Shangguan Wan'er, the youngest disciple of Tang Emperor Li Zhi, learned a lot from King Luo Bin most seriously.
"Haha, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made such a ridiculous compliment. How could Di and He De dare to serve as the Crown Prince and Tutor of the Tang Dynasty? Let alone compare him with Fang Fang and Du. This is really a disgrace to Di."
Hearing what Li Chenxiang said, to be honest, Di Renjie felt very grateful, but he kept saying humble words.
Now that he is the prime minister of the Tuyuhun country, Lady Wu has almost completely delegated power to him. She has real military and political control, and also gives Di Renjie a stage to show his ambitions.
However, although the Tuyuhun territory is not bad, if the actual population is statistically controlled, it is only the most common place in the Tang Dynasty.
It was second to none in Tuyuhun, but what if it were moved to the Tang Dynasty?
Although Di Renjie is full of ambitions, he will not lose himself in the power in front of him. He longs for a broader space for display, which is one of the reasons why he advocated the southern expedition.
At least in this aspect, Di Renjie and Mrs. Wu are very similar, which is also the terrifying reason why the two masters and ministers are in sync.
...
At the foot of Domi Mountain, in Tuyuhun's temporary tent, Di Renjie and Li Chenxiang made concessions for a long time. Neither of them was willing to sit in the middle, so in the end they had to sit down separately.
"Mr. Di, I heard that my second senior brother Xue Dingshan was made into the White Tiger Formation by the Tubo thieves. I wonder if this is true? What is the situation on the front line now?"
This is the temporary camp of Tuyuhun, where Di Renjie gathers his troops. All soldiers from Tuyuhun who enter Tubo from the south, and those between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, must come here to participate in the selection.
He was complying with Fan Lihua's request and wanted to screen out at least 5,000 more Tuguhun elites.
This place is only a thousand miles away from the Bajiao City where the front of Xue Dingshan is located. If Li Chenxiang had come here alone, he would have jumped over by himself.
It's a pity that he also has two thousand Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty under his command, and his trip to Tubo is not as simple as just rescuing Xue Dingshan?
"Your Highness, General Xue did indeed enter the White Tiger Formation. This happened nine days ago."
"However, there is no news yet from the Tubo army. However, dozens of soldiers who entered the White Tiger Formation with General Xue have been rescued by Commander Bai Zhi."
"And I, Fan Lihua, the new commander-in-chief of Tuyuhun, arrived at Bajiao City yesterday, and I think I will launch an attack on the White Tiger Formation today."
"Di needs to select five thousand elites here, and then send them to the front line together. They will definitely be able to defeat the White Tiger Formation and sweep across the Tibetan military camp."
In front of the Tang Prince Li Chenxiang, Di Renjie, as the Prime Minister of Tuyuhun, naturally had to show a hundredfold confidence in his commander-in-chief.
"Oh, Mr. Di, forgive Chenxiang for speaking frankly. Chenxiang also learned some news along the way. I heard that Tuyuhun's new commander is a female general and a proud disciple of Our Lady of Mount Li. Is this true?"
Li Chenxiang couldn't help but be curious when he heard that Di Renjie took the initiative to mention Fan Lihua and praised her so highly.
Who is Our Lady of Lishan?
Li Chenxiang was naturally aware of this. He also knew that the elder sister Liluo, whom he had never met before, had a master-disciple relationship with the Holy Mother of Mount Li.
If we look at it from this aspect, our eldest imperial sister appeared suddenly, the junior uncle of Marshal Tuyuhun.
Unfortunately, the reason why Li Chenxiang knew this information was because he had an "all-knowing" father, and the person involved, Fan Lihua, didn't even understand that her master was the current acting headmaster of Jiejiao, Wudang Madonna. .
"That's right. Although Marshal Fan is young, his cultivation has already reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He has also studied the formations all the way. It is expected that the White Tiger Formation will be equally difficult for her."
Di Renjie himself is a Renjie
Only a capable person, let alone Fan Lihua's cultivation level, not to mention that she is the same teacher and sister of her master.
"Well, since Mr. Di still needs to select the troops here, and the two thousand forbidden troops led by Chenxiang are also tired from the journey and need a little rest, why not let them stay here together."
"General Qin and General Luo, you two will lead the two thousand forbidden troops to rest here for a day, and then march to Bajiao City. I, the Prince, and Demon General Lu will go ahead."
It was getting late at this time, which was obviously not suitable for the army to move quickly, and the two thousand forbidden troops were really tired. Many ordinary sergeants were suffering from "qi sickness" to varying degrees.
The "insight" Li Chenxiang gained from his father was that this condition is called "altitude sickness", and he can only adapt to it slowly and cannot do strenuous exercise.
"Your Highness, please ask the general to accompany you. Just leave General Qin here alone..."
"Brother Luo, what are you talking about? Qin can also accompany His Highness the Crown Prince. The two thousand people can be taken by the general..."
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince asked him to stay, Qin and Luo stopped.
Although their cultivation and combat power were far inferior to Li Chenxiang's, they were still responsible for protecting him. How could it be said that His Highness the Crown Prince had gone to the front line, while they, the bodyguards, stayed at the rear.
"Okay, you two boys, stop arguing. I'll take you two over there. I'll have to take care of you, so let's lead the army here. By the way, let's get in touch and see where the reinforcements sent by Marshal Xue are."
Li Chenxiang really couldn't refuse Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong's requests directly.
Both of them grew up with his father. They and Li Zhi were considered brothers. After all, Li Chenxiang was considered a junior, not to mention the two of them loving each other.
This is not the case with Rutoro. Although this person is also a guard, there is still a big difference between a guard and a bodyguard.
This "Devil General" whose nickname is also called "Netherworld Blood Sea" has a peak cultivation level of "Daluo Golden Immortal", and he is also an old senior who has been practicing for tens of thousands of years.
Not to mention Li Chenxiang, even Li Zhi was still a junior in his eyes.
If you take a picture of the "seniors" here, Qin Huaiyu or Luo Tong, they really don't dare to say anything.
In this way, Li Chenxiang and Rutuolo bid farewell to Di Renjie and rushed west to the "White Tiger Formation".
...
"Fan Lihua, will you surrender or not?——"
The battle between the ugly ghost Yang Fan and Fan Lihua has gone through more than 300 rounds, and the game is invincible.
However, Yang Fang, the leader of the "Long Biao Army" who was standing behind to watch the formation, stared at the two people on the field without blinking.
This kind of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" level battle is too rare for Yang Fang. What a great opportunity to observe and learn.
In particular, Yang Fan has firmly dominated Fan Lihua in both realm and strength. Just because she calls him "Fan Lihua", Yang Fan's hands are definitely merciful.
In this way, the two of them were tied, and the scene was very beautiful.
Yang Fan held back, and Fan Lihua was completely beaten. This was the first time she had fought so heartily for so many years of learning.
Of course, a person as smart as Fan Lihua would naturally be able to tell that Yang Fan was being humble to him.
From the first time her "Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword" collided with the opponent's "Golden Needle Toad", Fan Lihua knew that she could not defeat this Yang Fan.
So what?
This is not a competition, this is a battlefield. She is the commander-in-chief of Tuyuhun, and the opponent is the commander of the "White Tiger Formation".
Each has his own master, and with such a relationship and entanglement between them, if they really lose this battle...
Fan Lihua couldn't even imagine that if she really lost, what would she do next?
"Yang Fan, you are from Xiliang, but you serve Tubo. Now you have set up this white tiger formation to trap General Xue of the Tang Dynasty. This is the way to die."
"For the sake of the good relationship between our families for generations, I advise you to withdraw from the White Tiger Formation, and then invite General Xue out. I will be your guarantee..."
Yang Fan acted as if he was sure of victory, and persuaded Fan Lihua to surrender. As for how much sincerity he had in it, I'm afraid only he himself knew.
But how could Fan Lihua let him get his wish?
There were more than a thousand soldiers from Tuyuhun behind him, and some of the soldiers had their eyes red with blood as the robes around them fell down.
"Hahaha, Fan Lihua, do you know what you are talking about? You are not ashamed of your talk. What about Tuyuhun? What about Tang Dynasty? In Yang's eyes, they are just mediocre people."
"You have mentioned that Tang Dynasty general named Xue several times. I heard that he was the apprentice of Tang Tong Li Zhi? What, are you attracted to that pretty boy?"
Hearing Fan Lihua mention Xue Dingshan again and again, Yang Fan felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, which made him speak indiscriminately.
And this kind of inexplicable anger seems to have occurred to Yang Fan when he first met Xue Dingshan that day?
But today, when the word "General Xue" was mentioned from Fan Lihua's mouth, it sounded particularly harsh to Yang Fan's ears.
Yang Fan's mind is always filled with the shadow of Xue Dingshan, that hateful pretty boy!
Xue Dingshan was able to stay in the "White Tiger Formation" for so long, thanks to Yang Fan's "mercy".
To be precise, it was there as a bait, and he couldn't be allowed to die for a moment.
However, at this moment, Yang Fan felt a little regretful. He regretted not killing that pretty boy, or at least destroying him, even scratching his annoying little boy's face.
Fan Lihua mentioned Xue Dingshan, but she just said it in a hurry. She wanted to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to make Yang Fan afraid, and even wanted to shake Tubo's military morale.
How could she have imagined that this unintentional remark would inexplicably ignite the anger in Yang Fan's heart?
"Yang Fan, don't use your words to slander my innocence. Do you really think that I am afraid of you? -"
In front of so many people, Fan Lihua's face became a little confused when a young girl with a yellow flower was maliciously arranged by Yang Fan.
Holding the "Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword" in his right hand, he stretched out his left hand and took off the "Fengzui Lihuaqiang" from his back. Because he used both hands to wield the weapon, the "Fengzuilihuaqiang" in his left hand did not have a barrel attached, and was only three feet long. How long is the front half of the gun.
"Hmph, you're just trying to impress people. Do you think you can fight this general with half a gun? Pick up the guy——"
Without further ado, Yang Fan just wanted to capture Fan Lihua quickly and then find Xue Dingshan who was trapped in the formation.
Right in front of Fan Lihua, he wanted to cut Xue Dingshan into pieces——
Good guy, I don’t know where such a big evil fire comes from?
If you are familiar with Yang Fan, you will be extremely surprised when you see his scene at this moment.
Is this still the always calm and wise Yang Fan?
Yang Fan lost his mind and killed the "Golden Needle Toad" in his hand.
Smashing up and down, scratching inside and outside, the power of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" in the later period was completely released, and even the Tubo guards following him were affected.
"Brothers, we can't watch Marshal Fan being bullied. Let's kill all the Tubo sergeants behind the ugly guy first——"
As soon as Yang Fan exerted his strength, Fan Lihua couldn't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, she didn't just have a "Fengzui Lihua Spear" in her hand, but during those years of choosing between swords and guns, she accidentally discovered a method of using swords and guns simultaneously.
It can be regarded as the "Fengzui Lihua Spear" and "Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword" in his left and right hands, and he created a set of "Yin Yang Sword and Spear Technique" based on the method of Liangyi.
"Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Sword" is Yang, and "Fengzui Lihuaqiang" is Yin. Yang means open and close, powerful and sinking; Yin means cunning and weird, unusually agile.
This set of "Yin Yang Sword and Spear Techniques" was highly praised by Our Lady of Lishan Mountain. In the view of the old Holy Mother, if Fan Lihua's realm was higher, she could be promoted to the "Great Master".
"Luo Jinxian", he really had the power to stir up Yin and Yang.
Even if she is only at the early stage of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", with this set of "Yin Yang Sword and Spear Technique", she can increase her combat power by five points out of thin air.
Yang Fan was a little crazy, and he was somewhat losing his mind. The "Golden Needle Toad" in his hand became more and more powerful, and Fan Lihua used the "Yin Yang Sword and Spear Technique", and the battle was back and forth for a while.
However, the Tubo guards behind Yang Fan were in some trouble.
They were just ordinary sergeants. They were selected as Yang Fan's personal guards because of their extraordinary bravery and fearlessness of death. However, they were not cultivators.
The hundreds of "Long Biao Army" and nearly a thousand Tuyuhun elites commanded by Yang Fang not only overwhelmed the opponent in numbers, Yang Fang himself was also a "Xuanxian" after all.
After a charge, Yang Fan and Fan Lihua had not yet decided the winner. Yang Fan's 500 personal guards were killed by Yang Fang's army.
Yang Fang was a thief by trade. He had been doing business without capital for many years. By chance, he got a incomplete book of spiritual practice during a robbery.
In this way, Yang Fang embarked on the path of spiritual practice. After a small amount of success, she joined the army in Tuyuhun and achieved her current achievements.
He took off his thief skin and changed into official clothes, but the ruthlessness in his bones was still there. In order to "support" his Marshal Fan from the momentum, this boy left dozens of Tibetan guards behind.
It was not that Yang Fang had a kind heart, but he left these dozens of Tibetan guards who had lost their fighting power, and then ordered the sergeants to torture these people in various ways.
Yang Fang's purpose was very simple, which was to distract Yang Fan by making these people roar and keep asking for help from his general.
Don't tell me, Yang Fang's trick worked to some extent, but in the end it messed up Yang Fan's temperament and made him even more impatient.
"Hahaha, that ugly ghost, do you still want the lives of these Tibetan soldiers? They are all your personal guards. Listen to this beautiful cry for mercy——"
Naturally, Yang Fan didn't care too much about the life and death of the Tubo soldiers, but the humiliation of Hong Guoguo made him a little unbearable.
Obviously his cultivation and combat power are higher than Fan Lihua. In Yang Fan's view, Fan Lihua is meat on the chopping board and should be at his mercy.
However, Fan Lihua, whom he regarded as easy to get, turned out to be weak but not defeated. Now there are dozens of Tubo soldiers wailing on the side. Yang Fan seems to be going crazy soon?
"Wow, junior, it's too much to bully someone——"
Yang Fan was completely angry.
Yang Fan was furious, and the remaining "White Tiger Formation" was mobilized, and all kinds of roars suddenly came from around him.
"No, Commander Yang, quickly form a circular formation to defend against the enemy——"
Yang Fang can act recklessly, but Fan Lihua does not. She is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and she has to stay awake even when fighting.
Sure enough, Yang Fang and more than a thousand people had just finished arranging the circular formation, and various strange phenomena appeared in all directions due east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest.
"Fan Lihua, what if you have studied a certain family's 'White Tiger Formation?' The White Tiger Formation is a killing formation. Before, it was just a certain family that did not preside over the formation. Today, these soldiers and horses you brought will be transformed into For the nourishment of the White Tiger Formation——"
A blizzard is coming from the east, and the temperature here drops below freezing in the blink of an eye;
There were bursts of thunder in the west, and streaks of lightning struck directly at the circular formation formed by the Tuyuhun army;
To the south is a raging fire, and the jumping fireball seems to be alive, slowly trying to engulf the more than a thousand Tuyuhun soldiers;
Before anything from the north appeared, there was an extremely pungent stench, followed by an army composed of various poisonous insects and beasts, which could not be seen at a glance...
Where had the soldiers of Tuyuhun seen such a scene?
Not to mention coming forward to fight, just seeing such a terrifying scene, many people were so frightened that they could no longer hold their swords and guns.
Even
For the timid person, the yellow and white stuff flowed down his pants, and the smell around him suddenly became sour.
"Bah, you're a useless thing. He lost his head and had a big scar. Eighteen years later he became a good man again. Brothers, all this is just an illusion. Keep your position, pick up the sword and gun in your hand, and fight fiercely. Kill his mother——"
At this point, it’s hard to talk about it anymore. Yang Fang is considered knowledgeable. At this time, he is two heads above the other. What else can he do besides working hard?
...
"boom--"
At this moment, Fan Lihua, who was fighting with Yang Fan, took out something from her arms, threw it into the air, and suddenly appeared in the northern sky of the circular formation.
The sergeant over there faced an unknown number of various poisonous insects and beasts, and they seemed to be the most dangerous attacks. There were so many terrifying things, even if they were disgusting, they would make you sick to death.
In mid-air, the object thrown out by Fan Lihua gradually became clear. It turned out to be a strange gourd?
I saw the mouth of the gourd open automatically, and fire crows spurted out from it.
"Quick——"
"Quick——"
"Quick——"
The harsh cries of crows shocked the hearts of the Tuyuhun soldiers present, and these fire crows rushed towards the poisonous insects and beasts, and suddenly turned into a larger sea of fire.
The gourd mouth tilted again and rotated in a circle, spitting out a certain number of fire crows towards the east, west and south.
Unfortunately, these fire crows have different effects when facing blizzard, fire and thunder, and are far less enjoyable than dealing with poisonous insects and beasts.
Even so, it alleviated the dilemma of Tuyuhun soldiers to a certain extent.
"Yang Fan, I will fight with you—"
Fan Lihua had tried her best, but she was still unable to fully cope with the attacks from multiple parties. Seeing the Tuyuhun soldiers behind her die one by one, Fan Lihua also became red-eyed.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that you have a lot of tricks, but these tricks don't look like Buddhist routines at all. Did you learn these from Our Lady of Lishan Mountain?"
It's funny to talk about it. The two people fighting each other in front of me are both from Buddhism, but they don't see any compassion from Buddhism in their methods?
Could it be said that true compassion is killing?
"Don't you want to work hard? A certain family will help you -"
Yang Fan seemed to have lost his patience. He had already used all the remaining killing moves in the "White Tiger Formation", but it only ended in such a dismal outcome.
Yang Fan hates it!
This "White Tiger Formation" is one of his biggest reliances now, but it only costs his opponent this small amount, which is far less than what he originally imagined.
Full of hatred, Yang Fan poured his heart into Fan Lihua and the Tuyuhun soldiers behind her.
"boom--"
With a sound like the sky falling and the earth falling, Yang Fan threw his "Golden Needle Toad" out.
From a tree in the sky, thousands of golden needles are scattered down like a rain of flowers.
"Ah, my eyes—"
"General, help...save me——"
There were screams and cries for help, and the sounds of corpses falling to the ground were heard.
Fan Lihua's left and right swords were so airtight that she could only protect the group of soldiers directly behind her. She could only protect the Tuyuhun soldiers in other directions.
But she herself was stabbed in her left arm by the golden needles all over the sky.
"Haha, how many hundreds of people have died just now? What a certain family wants is for the entire army to be annihilated, and then--"
Seeing a large number of dead bodies falling down, Yang Fan's ugly face was filled with a bright smile, and he once again activated the "Golden Needle Toad" hanging in the air.
"Stop it, you damn ugly guy, you're going to be here—"
