The autumn wind rustled and the red leaves were falling. One day, when Lu Hanjiang found that all the red leaves on the trees had fallen off, the Qingcheng faction's team finally arrived.
It is not easy to travel to the Central Plains from Sichuan. This time the Qingcheng faction is led by the leader Yushu himself, accompanied by 17 inner sect disciples with high martial arts skills. It seems that they plan to take down the Fox Immortal Tower in one fell swoop. , to avoid further accidents.
To Lu Hanjiang's disappointment, the Qingcheng sect came fiercely, but the Fox Immortal Tower was quiet. The white monk seemed to have forgotten about it and did not react at all.
After receiving the report from Jin Yiwei, Lu Hanjiang had to admit that this white monk was indeed calm and cruel enough, whether to others or to himself.
Even if Tianquan doesn't ask for help this time, Lu Hanjiang will guide him to do so, so that both sides have enough time to prepare for this war.
Unfortunately, Monk Baijing seemed to have guessed his purpose a long time ago, so he remained silent from beginning to end, as if he had been on guard against him early in the morning.
In fact, Lu Hanjiang naturally did not have good intentions when he told the other party about the arrival of the masters of the Qingcheng Sect. If there was a conflict with the Central Plains sect in the Central Plains, no matter how many disciples sent by the foreign Buddhist sects, it would be just pouring oil to put out the fire.
Therefore, if Monk Baijing goes to ask for help, he will actually expose his arrangements in the Central Plains to Jin Yiwei, but obviously, the other party has also thought of this.
Therefore, this white monk would rather stay alone in the Fox Immortal Tower and wait for death than summon other masters from the same sect. He even has no intention of escaping. It seems that he has made up his mind and does not intend to leak any clues to anyone. Jinyiwei.
"What a watertight guy." Lu Hanjiang lit a fire folder and burned the letter in his hand.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan said in a deep voice: "The arrangements of these Hu monks are very concealed. We have used a lot of manpower, but so far, we have only found seven places. According to Master Wu's inference, they are making a lot of noise. There should be no fewer than fifteen hiding places.”
"In other words, at least half of the manpower is still hidden by them, right?"
Lu Hanjiang touched his chin and thought: "If the Hu monk in the Fox Fairy Tower is not a special case, it means that there is such a master in every place. Based on this calculation, this foreign Buddhist is the master of the coffin." It’s all about this fight.”
Huangfu Xiaoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said: "On their own, it is absolutely impossible for them to do this silently without being discovered. There are people in the Central Plains to support them. The forces of the Xuantian Sect are all in the North. They will not It’s them, then”
The two of them looked at each other and knew the answer in their hearts. The person who helped this time should be the Huangfu family - or in other words, it was the huge intelligence network formed after the Huangfu family on the surface was destroyed and the rest of the power went underground. The person who controls this power is none other than the Crown Princess.
"This will really make things difficult for us."
Lu Hanjiang chuckled. Although he said so, there was no embarrassment on his face. The Crown Princess was very thoughtful and her arrangements were not easy to see through, but it seems that under the Crown Prince's influence, everyone must be doing everything in perfect harmony.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Hanjiang ordered: "Withdraw most of the manpower. Since there is no more progress in the investigation, it means that the limit has been reached. There is no need to continue to waste troops here."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan nodded slightly, but still felt a little unwilling: "Just let them go so simply?"
"There will be no results in hanging on a tree," Lu Hanjiang said nonchalantly: "The significance to us of digging out the lairs of these monks is limited to showing the strength of the Jin Yiwei. No matter if we find a place, No matter if we find them all, the result will be the same.”
Huangfu Xiaoyuan frowned lightly and asked, "But didn't that Monk Hu reject you last time? Now, he might still turn to us?"
"He didn't refuse, he just didn't make up his mind."
Lu Hanjiang stood on the second floor balcony of the inn, looked down at the group of Qingcheng Sect disciples below, and said calmly: "Negotiations require capital and means. Now that our sincerity and strength have been demonstrated, it depends on how they choose. .”
"Then what if they just choose one path and go to the end?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan said.
Lu Hanjiang shrugged: "Then there is nothing we can do. Business cannot be done with righteousness. Let the brothers confiscate those seven places, so I should give benefits to everyone."
While speaking, Master Yushu in the crowd downstairs felt something, raised his head, and looked at Lu Hanjiang.
Lu Hanjiang cupped his fist and saluted him from a distance, and said slowly: "It seems that fellow Taoist Tianquan will say goodbye to us soon and go on the road alone."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan glanced at Master Yushu from afar and said softly: "Although Xiaoyao Sect is a Taoist sect, you are a famous disciple. Naturally, Master Yushu is worried about keeping his precious disciple. In front of you."
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said, "It's a pity. Fellow Taoist Tianquan is a friendly person and values friendship and righteousness. He took good care of us along the way. I'm really reluctant to say goodbye like this."
While the two were talking, the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect below also checked into the inn for repairs. Taking advantage of a moment's break, Master Yushu called Tianquan to a deserted corner and asked him about his experiences along the way. After all, the letter only contained a few words. There will be places that are missed.
Tianquan told his master all the big and small things that happened along the way. When he saw that his brothers and sisters of the same generation were keeping a distance from the Yue family brothers and sisters in the inn, he couldn't help but said: "Master, during this trip, Brother Yue and Yue The girl takes great care of the disciple, and the disciple thinks that they are not who they are in the rumors."
Master Yushu just shook his head slightly: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, Tianquan, Jianghu is dangerous, don't trust outsiders easily."
"But, Master" Tianquan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Master Yushu -
"Okay, let's talk about this later," Master Yushu waved his hand and said: "This time I am coming down the mountain as a teacher. In addition to the urgent matter of the Fox Immortal Tower, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with. After the matter of the Fox Immortal Tower is completed, I will Then I went to the capital with you."
Tian Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "It would be best to have the master there. Although this journey is not difficult and dangerous, there are always things that the disciples cannot decide on their own. If the master is with us, the disciples can rest easy."
"You, just try your best to hide." Master Yushu stretched out his finger and tapped the disciple's head, with a hint of helpless doting in his words.
In fact, dealing with a mere Fox Immortal Tower was far from requiring him, the head of Qingcheng, to take action personally. However, the news from Tianquan mentioned the Xiaoyao Sect.
Although they are from the same lineage of Taoism, Master Yushu clearly knows that the old guy Bei Mingzi will never be the same as them, so the disciples he teaches will not be good.
He really couldn't rest assured.
