Early the next morning, Chen Guang and the others rushed to the main tent of the military camp.
"Sir, the brothers are all ready."
"The horses are all ready and ready to go!"
Li Dingxing looked at Feng Nan, who was silent at the side: "General Feng, what's wrong? Are the food and grass ready?"
Feng Nan was called by Li Dingxing, and then he came to his senses: "Ah? Oh, prepare... ready."
Yi Xiaoling asked from behind: "Mumu, didn't you say we would discuss it today? Why are we starting now?"
Li Dingxing didn't look back, and replied in a low voice with his back turned: "Well, I will send someone to escort you back to Beijing. With Yi Xiaodao by my side, I feel more at ease."
Yi Xiaoling did not make a fuss as Li Dingxing expected, and was silent for a long time. Even Chen Guang and the others did not dare to look at her. He sighed softly and said with a smile: "Oh, if my father-in-law and eldest brother knew about it, they would be very happy. Since I married into the Li family, the couple should live and die together. Why do you always push me away? "
"I'm afraid you are in danger..."
"I'm also afraid...Chu Zhou, you'd better prepare my horse, otherwise..." Yi Xiaoling stopped paying attention to Li Dingxing and turned to question Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou didn't expect that Yi Xiaoling would suddenly come to him. He was dumbfounded for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
"Ready, madam! I saw with my own eyes that Chu Zhou fed the horse and saddled it, right? General Chu!" Chen Guang winked wildly at the side.
"Go back to Madam...you're ready..." Chu Zhou followed Chen Guang's words and said.
Yi Xiaoling smiled brightly: "That's good. You all need to remember that from the first day I married into the Li Mansion, I, Yi Xiaoling, will be your wife even until my death. Wherever Mr. Zhongyi goes, our country Wherever the princess will go! Remember?"
Chen Guang, Chu Zhou, and Feng Nan, who had been dazed all the time, all looked stern at the same time: "Swear allegiance to the Lord and Madam to the death!"
"Okay, let's go check again, pack up, and prepare to break camp and hit the road!" Yi Xiaoling gave the order on Li Dingxing's behalf, but her eyes looked at Chu Zhou. She knew that this Chu Zhou always only listened to Li Dingxing.
For the first time, Chu Zhou did not look at Li Dingxing, and the three of them left with fists in their hands.
Yi Xiaoling turned around and saw Li Dingxing was about to open his mouth when he pointed a finger at the tip of Li Dingxing's nose: "Don't be a mother-in-law, learn from that Yi Xiaodao!"
Li Dingxing held Yi Xiaoling in his arms: "If you can't go back..."
"There will always be someone to help us collect the body. Are you afraid that the Duke and his wife will not have a burial place?" Yi Xiaoling replied softly: "We must die together."
The curtain was lifted, and Qin Changqian just stuck his head out, and when he saw the two embracing each other, he immediately shrank away. After a while, Bai Xinglong seemed to be still looking back and talking to Qin Changqian. He just put his head in and hurriedly left.
When Li and Yi saw this situation, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly, then slowly let go.
"Come in." Li Dingxing called loudly.
Qin Changqian and Bai Xinglong came in together, followed by Guan Chenzi. She was not as ignorant as Qin and Bai and came to see something inappropriate.
"Bai Shaoxia, have you recovered? I'm going to send someone to take you back to Beijing for recuperation." Li Dingxing asked with concern.
"Don't worry, sir. After all, people who practice martial arts are almost healed." Bai Xinglong looked as normal and seemed to be fine.
Li Dingxing nodded: "Today we will officially break camp and enter Sichuan. If the three of us..."
The three of them looked at Li Dingxing meaningfully, making him feel a little uncomfortable, so they took the initiative to omit the next words: "Hahahaha, I can't learn what Yi Xiaodao does!"
Everyone laughed, and then Li Dingxing said: "The roads in Sichuan and Sichuan are rugged and difficult, not as good as those in the Central Plains. So I decided to divide the 50,000 troops into three groups and enter Sichuan separately, so that if there is any situation, I will have a backup plan."
"Brothers Qin and Feng Nan led 10,000 soldiers and horses, heading north to Guangcheng, Suicheng to Rongcheng. This is the north road. I don't think they will encounter the Xigui army, so there should be fewer soldiers and horses. Bai Shaoxia, Taoist priest, I'd like to ask you and Chu Zhou to lead 30,000 troops from the inner city to Dao Zicheng. This is the middle route, which is quite dangerous. We need to bring more troops."
"After the North Road and the Middle Road meet in Rongcheng, the three of you will have to act according to the situation. There is no need to worry about military matters. With Feng Nan and Chu Zhou accompanying them, they will take care of all the military affairs."
"As for me, Lian'er and Chen Guang will go from Lu to Bincheng by water. This is the southern route among the three routes of troops. As long as Bincheng is taken, the Xigui Army's retreat will be cut off. Let him do whatever he wants Soldiers and horses will be trapped in Sichuan and Shu! As long as this Xigui army is annihilated, King Xigui will not be able to cause any trouble."
Guan Chenzi shook his head silently: "I think it's inappropriate."
"Taoist Priest, what do you have in mind?" Li Dingxing was not a headstrong person. Seeing Guan Chenzi shaking his head, he humbly asked for advice.
Guan Chenzi said: "I don't understand the matter of marching and fighting. It's just that... I want to go south."
"This... can be in the middle..."
"Pindao doesn't like fighting. If he goes to the middle road, he is afraid that the killing will be too heavy and affect Pindao's Taoism." Guan Chenzi said calmly.
Li Dingxing hesitated: "But the south road has to be taken by water..."
"The water in the poor road is unimpeded."
Yi Xiaoling gently pulled Li Dingxing from the side: "Since the fairy sister wants to go, then just go with us! Let Chen Guang go to the middle road!"
Li Dingxing looked at Bai Xinglong, who lightly shrugged and said it didn't matter.
"Then I also want to go to the south road..." Qin Changqian said from the side: "Brother Yi asked me to protect the father-in-law and his wife..."
"Brother Qin, the North Road is also very important. We must meet up with the Middle Road under Rongcheng..."
"I will go wherever the master and his wife are." Qin Changqian did not listen to much, but only focused on what Yi Xiaodao had given him, and protected Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling.
Li Dingxing looked at Bai Xinglong with some embarrassment. Bai Xinglong was the only "charlatan" left in Rongcheng.
Bai Xinglong smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter, if you really arrive at Bincheng City, the Xigui Army will definitely send heavy troops to come back for reinforcements. Maybe there will be reinforcements coming from Xigui. Who knows, we will be attacked from both sides. I I suggest moving some more troops from the middle to the south, it’s safe.”
Li Dingxing shook his head: "We are a surprise force. If there are more people, we can't be surprised. What's more, we don't have many ships to carry many people. If everyone has no objections, then it is settled. Let's go!"
…
"Gui Mei Xing, the sect master asked you to wake up and come over." Gui Mei Xing woke up and didn't know where he was. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a disciple of the Wuyin Sect coming to inform him. Only then did he realize that he was already in Chengdu, in a mansion assigned to the Wuyin Sect by Zou Tao, the second son of Xigui.
"I know, I'll go right away." Gui Mei Xing nodded. Of course, this "Ghost Walk" is not his real name, but the title of the twelve masters. Everyone in the sect calls him this name.
When I came to the main hall, I looked into the hall. It was so foggy that I couldn't see anything. Even if the warm winter sun shines slanting outside, it cannot shine even half an inch into the hall.
"Come in." An old voice called in the hall. Ghost Xing dusted himself off and strode into the main hall.
"Is the imperial army really here?" Although the hall was densely foggy, you could faintly see a figure sitting on the main seat. His figure was a bit stooped and he looked quite old. There is no doubt that this is the leader of Wuyin Sect, Lou Qianguang.
Gui Meixing knelt down on one knee: "Report to the sect master, yes! And the imperial court has many troops!" He led the Wuyin Sect disciples to encounter Chen Guang's ambush at the mouth of the valley. However, the mouth of the valley was not big, and the ambush troops could not enter. , after being slaughtered by them, Chen Guang had no choice but to retreat.
"How can ordinary soldiers and horses defeat our Wuyin Sect?" The leader of the Wuyin Sect was a little surprised: "Why are all the disciples of the Wuyin Sect wiped out?"
When Gui Mei Xing heard this, he gritted his teeth and secretly hated it.
"What's going on?" The old voice became heavier.
Gui Meixing couldn't help it anymore and told the whole story about how he intercepted Li Dingxing, Yi Xiaoling and others, and how Cao Qingxing pursued him from behind and drove snakes to kill the Wuyin Sect disciples. No embarrassment.
"Bang!" The Eight Immortals table next to the main seat was hit and collapsed: "The Five Poisons Sect... went too far to bully others!"
Seeing Zong's initiative, Gui Mei Xing didn't dare to say anything and just knelt down.
After a while, an old sigh came over: "Oh, if it weren't for thirty years ago, a spy came out of the door and leaked the secret method of the Wuyin Sect, why would my Wuyin Sect be hunted down by the enemy? I fell into decline. To this point today…”
Thirty years ago, when the Wuyin Sect was at its peak, one of its disciples defected to the Central Plains, which attracted a large number of enemies of the Wuyin Sect in the Central Plains. Although the Wuyin Sect survived after that battle, it was difficult to continue its former glory.
Even when accepting external disciples, they were carefully selected because they were afraid of making the same mistakes again. Over time, after thirty years of ups and downs, the current Wuyin Sect can only be said to be barely surviving, and the disciples of the sect are also very scarce. A dozen people have died at once, how can Lou Qianguang not feel sad.
Lou Qianguang calmed down and then asked: "I heard that the big snake is also dead?"
"Replying to the sect master, the disciples were not there when the little girl from the Five Poison Sect was fighting with the imperial soldiers and horses. However, judging from her crazy appearance at that time, she must be dead."
"Hmph, a good death. A beast, treated like a treasure all day long..."
Gui Meixing asked cautiously: "Sect Master, are you still sending people to chase you?"
"No more chasing, more than a dozen people are already dead. Our Wuyin Sect can't stand this kind of consumption... It's time to let the other sects bleed." Lou Qianguang sighed.
Gui Meixing lowered his head: "Disciple is incompetent..."
"I heard that the Five Poison Sect also lost two?"
Although Lou Qianguang already knew this news, he always felt uneasy without confirming it with his disciples.
"This... I don't know. Before I fell into coma, I only knew that the snake-playing girl was captured alive together with me."
"That's pretty much it. The Five Poison Sect doesn't speak softly. Just wait and see."
The ghost bowed to Lou Qianguang and left. As soon as he left the door, he heard the chaos on the street outside.
"What happened?" Gui Meixing grabbed a servant and asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Outside, the Five Immortals Sect and the Holy Insect Valley are fighting..."
