The fifth mink underestimated the blue bird's growth rate.
Since Blue Bird has entered the deified realm, as long as he fights with masters, he can quickly absorb the experience gained in the battle and integrate it into his own martial arts, growing rapidly, so he will become stronger with more battles.
After a battle with masters like Fifth Diao, Jade Bird's strength has further improved.
In the second fight, he was already on a par with the fifth mink in a serious state.
Coupled with the support of the red-robed Yinwu, Xu Fengnian used the magic weapon Chunhu to kill all the Penglai carrying tripod slaves.
Put yourself into a situation of isolation and helplessness.
In the end, Xu Fengnian fought against the fifth mink alone in order to hone his martial arts skills.
The two fought to the death, and Xu Fengnian finally won.
The fifth Diao, who was famous for a while, could not resist the wave of martial arts, and ended up being cut off and killed.
After killing the Fifth Diao, the Lord of Tibing Mountain, Xu Fengnian and his party set out to return to Beiliang.
However, because the fifth Diao was killed, Tibingshan would definitely take revenge.
From the Rouran Mountains to the border of Beiliang, it is almost a flat plain.
If you take this route, you will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry from Rouran Army Town in Beimang.
It is only safe to take a detour through the Ganliang Corridor and then enter the Beiliang border.
On the way, after hearing the news that Zhao Kai, who had failed to assassinate him several times, was about to leave for the Western Regions, Xu Fengnian immediately decided to lead his men to intercept and kill him.
The so-called leading people means to send people to inform the villain Chen Zhibao, White Bear, Yuan Zuozong, Hongpao Yinwu, the second sister Xu Weixiong, the third brother Xu Longxiang, the dead soldier Qingniao and the eight hundred white horse followers.
Zhao Kai and his cavalry were intercepted at the Iron Gate Pass between Jiange and Liusha.
According to the Records of the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Great Qin Empire first set up passes here, with cliffs as sharp as axes and stones as colored as iron. This place straddles a twenty-mile-long steep canyon in the upper reaches of the river, and is an important passage from the western Xinjiang to the eastern Xinjiang across the mountains. , whenever the situation of the Central Plains Dynasty was initially determined, it was necessary to pass through the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Central Plains soldiers must pass through this place.
Every sound of horse hooves to the west symbolizes the prosperity of the Central Plains dynasty, and every retreat to the east means the collapse of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains.
In addition to the two hundred brave Yulin Guards on Zhao Kai's trip, there were also a dozen Ouchi guards with yellow belts and golden swords on their waists.
The young men and the veterans accounted for half each, and they were both powerful in the world.
There is also a deep impression on Liyang Chaotang. The Dharma King in red whom Your Majesty respects.
The most important thing is Zhao Kai's great master, the human cat Han Diao Temple who left the palace, and the second master sick tiger Yang Taisui.
The reason why Zhao Kai was given such a lineup was to enable him to go to the Western Regions and make great achievements.
After returning, he became the king of Shu based on his merit, gradually encroaching on Beiliang, and finally became the prince and even inherited the throne.
The two sides will fight at the intersection of the three parties.
In this tense crisis, King Yan stood high and overlooked the entire battlefield.
King Yan looked as indifferent as ever, standing with his hands behind his back, "The situation has evolved to this point, can you still bear it?"
"Of course it can't be done." A breeze blew in, and Huang Longshi arrived.
"You're finally here." King Yan didn't turn around, he already knew who was coming.
Huang Longshi smiled and said: "Since you invited me at the beginning, how can Huang Longshi refuse the invitation?"
King Yan replied: "Now that you are here, this situation will be meaningful."
"This will be the second battlefield outside Iron Gate Pass." Huang Longshi said.
As Huang Longshi's voice fell and the iron door closed, the situation changed again.
Yuan Benxi, who was supposed to be in charge of the imperial city, led Zhao Gou to finally appear under the iron gate.
Appearing with him was Master Liu Hao, the ancestor of the Liu family who was guarding Tai'an Imperial City.
King Yan saw these two people appearing and said, "Well, you have a way to get both Yuan Benxi and Master Liu Hao to come together."
Huang Longshi smiled and said: "Logically speaking, Yuan Benxi, as an imperial master and in charge of secret organizations such as Zhao Gou, should be in charge of the imperial city and should not touch lightly. In other words, all this is because of you. You arranged a plan to severely damage Zhao Gou. As a result, there was no one available for this imperial master. He lost half of his tongue because of me in his early years, and he was very obsessed with this. Before I came here, I made a special trip to Tai'an City and sat down at a famous restaurant in the city. In half an hour, the iron gate will close again."
King Yan continued: "And Yuan Benxi, who followed you all the way here, saw Zhao Kai who was surrounded and killed under the iron gate. Zhao Kai is involved in Liyang's future plans and cannot allow any mistakes. Between emotion and reason, even if He knows this is your plan, and he has to put aside his personal grudges. Put the overall situation first and show up to support."
Huang Longshi agreed with what King Yan said, "Not bad."
At this time, the iron gate closed and the situation was closed. With the participation of Yuan Benxi and others, Zhao Kai's side gained momentum.
However, Xu Fengnian's side did not show any signs of discouragement, and the situation between the two sides was in a stalemate for a while.
Huang Longshi saw that the battle could not begin for a while and said: "Now, there is still some time before the life and death battle between the two sides, so let's talk about your thoughts first."
King Yan pondered: "Don't you already know my thoughts?"
Huang Longshi shook his head, "This game, on the surface, is for you to prove yourself. You care about Xu Fengnian, why can you get the love of Princess Wu Su of Beiliang? Why can you become the prince of Beiliang, but you can't. You want to show your love to Xu Fengnian?" Xu Xiao, and even the world has proven that you are stronger than Xu Fengnian. That’s why you sent a message to Xu Fengnian to let him know about Zhao Kai’s trip to the Western Regions, and thus set up the Iron Gate Pass."
"This is a common sense strategy." King Yan said: "Xu Fengnian is protected by eight hundred white-horse loyal followers and many fierce generals of Beiliang. I believe that even Yuan Benxi will not, let alone cannot, kill Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian returned to Beiliang safely. Zhao Kai heads to the Western Region. This game can only be regarded as a draw."
Huang Longshi reminded: "But two people from the Beiliang camp are not here. Logically speaking, they should have arrived long ago."
King Yan said who were the two people who appeared and disappeared, "You are talking about Xu Weixiong and Chen Zhibao."
Huang Longshi revealed: "They will be the key to your next attempt to seize the position of Northern Liang Crown Prince."
King Yan replied: "My goal has never been to be the crown prince of Beiliang."
Huang Longshi said: "This sentence is indeed correct. Because from the beginning, what you coveted was not the position of the Northern Liang Crown Prince, but the military power of the Northern Liang."
King Yan did not deny it and asked: "But the current situation is 50-50, and Xu Fengnian's life is not safe. What should I do?"
Huang Longshi said: "Chen Zhibao repays his kindness. Xu Xiao and Wu Su were very kind to him, but he is also the one who wants Xu Fengnian dead the most. According to your wisdom, you should have known his ambition from the beginning."
King Yan confirmed Huang Longshi's words, "Chen Zhibao is indeed ambitious."
"And this ambition will be the key to Xu Fengnian's death."
Near the Jianmen Pass, the elite cavalrymen of the Snow Dragon Riders who arrived one after another died here.
Chen Zhibao wields a spear and plum wine, and engages in a fierce battle with Xu Weixiong, who is into Zhixuan.
