"Stand up!" Qin Ran helped him up, looked into his eyes and said, "Su Xinghe, can I trust you?"
"Su Xinghe is willing to go through life and death for the leader!" Su Xinghe solemnly replied.
"Very good!" Qin Ran nodded with satisfaction, "I want you to summon your disciples and train their forces to investigate the human geography, customs and intelligence of various places in the Song Dynasty. Are you willing?"
Su Xinghe is not a lonely person. He has eight disciples, and they are called the "Eight Friends of Hangu". These eight people are all famous people. In addition to their high martial arts skills, they are also proficient in one skill.
One of the more famous ones is Xue Muhua, the fifth god doctor. In the original plot, Qiao Feng took the injured A'Zhu to Juxian Manor to seek medical treatment, and it was this doctor Xue who he sought medical treatment from. Later, Qiao Feng was rescued by Xiao Yuanshan, while A'Zhu stayed in the village and was treated by Doctor Xue.
In addition to Xue Muhua, there is also the fourth painting madman Wu Lingjun. The fourth brother is good at painting and calligraphy, but this is not the point. The point is that this dear friend is worshiped as the "leading general", serves in the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, and controls part of the central army. He was one of the most important military officers in the capital of the Song Dynasty. With his help, Qin Ran's army would be much smoother.
"No problem!" Su Xinghe first swore his chest and then asked with some confusion: "Master, I don't know what you want to do. Can you give me a direction so that I can make preparations."
Su Xinghe is a good old man, which can be seen from the fact that he has supported Wu Yazi for more than thirty years.
Therefore, Qin Ran did not hide anything from him, "It won't be long before I raise an army to overthrow the unsatisfactory Song Dynasty. I will attack Liao in the north and Xixia in the west. I need your disciples to prepare for my uprising." .”
Su Xinghe was shocked and speechless for a moment. He thought Qin Ran might be crazy.
"Don't worry, I won't fight an uncertain battle, and I won't let them die in vain." Qin Ran saw what Su Xinghe was thinking and said calmly.
"Yes!" Su Xinghe opened his mouth, but still agreed. He didn't have a few years left to live, so he didn't care too much. He just wanted to finally use his new energy for the Xiaoyao Sect. Of course, if Qin Ran was too crazy, he would He would not let his disciples get too involved.
"Go!" Qin Ran ordered Su Xinghe to retreat. He looked at the sky. At this time, it was still early, and he decided to immediately move towards the Piaomiao Peak where the Tianshan Child Elder was.
He took Azi with him and headed westward. The two of them rode a horse together, rubbing their ears and temples together, and their familiarity quickly grew. Azi's eyes also softened slightly.
As the group went deep into Xixia, Qin Ran sent out signals one after another and quickly got in touch with the thirty-six cave masters and the seventy-two island masters. Soon, Qin Ran arrived at the Piaomiao Peak.
Piaomiao Peak is located in the Tianshan Mountains, west of the capital of the Xixia Kingdom. Although the altitude is not high, there is no ice and snow, but it is very foggy. It is impossible to see the mountain clearly for half of the year, so it is called Piaomiao Peak.
When the island masters and cave masters who had already gathered here saw Qin Ran, they were immediately overjoyed. They all knelt down in front of Qin Ran and called him "His Majesty."
Azi couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she saw the thousands of people kneeling in front of her. She never expected that Qin Ran had such a powerful force in addition to his own strength. The look in his eyes became even more intense for a moment. It's hot.
Qin Ran said slowly: "Boss Wu, what do you mean?"
The leader, Mr. Wu, said respectfully: "We kneel down to Your Majesty because we hope that Your Majesty can win the battle, conquer Lingyuan Palace this time, and unlock the life and death spell for our brothers!"
Qin Ran said calmly: "Don't worry, I promise to unlock the life and death talisman for you and I will definitely do it!"
"Today is already August 14th. Tomorrow night, I will go up the mountain in person to the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace to learn about the power of the Tianshan Child Elder!"
Everyone was greatly surprised!
Boss Wu sneered and said, "Your Majesty, you actually want to go to Lingjiu Palace alone? This...even if you have extraordinary powers, it's hard to please, right?"
Zhuo Bufan also spoke loudly, "Your Majesty, there are thousands of people in Lingjiu Palace. If you go up like this, I'm afraid..."
After Qin Ran glanced at him, he said calmly: "Don't worry. I won't joke with my own life."
After several days of traveling, he had already absorbed all of Wu Yazi's skills, and successfully broke through the Beiming Divine Skill to the eighth level, and he himself had also entered the realm of a master warrior, not to mention that the Tianshan Boy Lao's skills were about to disappear. After all, even when Tianshan Tong Lao was completely victorious, he was sure to escape unscathed.
One day flies by.
August 15th, night, Xixia Piaomiao Peak, on the mountain road.
On the mountain road, Qin Ran quietly walked up. There were steep mountain roads on both sides. In the original plot, Boss Wu could sneak into the Vulture Palace alone, but it would be easier for Qin Ran, who was far more powerful than Boss Wu, to enter the Vulture Palace. .
This also shows from the side that the internal area of Lingjiu Palace is very large.
Like a ghost, he swaggered across the Piaomiao Peak Mountain Road and quickly approached the top.
Lingyuan Palace is located far away in the Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain. After decades of operation, it has quietly controlled most Jianghu gangs from the Central Plains to the southeastern coast. Therefore, when people talk about Tianshan Lingyuan Palace, they don't talk about "Tianshan" and often use "gongli" instead.
Of course Lingjiu Palace is not at the top of the Snow Mountain, but in a warm and humid place at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain. Many disciples live here, and Lingyuan Palace is actually both a market and a castle.
Because everything within a hundred miles is within its control range, Lingyuan Palace has never seen the light of swords and shadows, and it is a peaceful and peaceful scene. Tianshan Child Elder is the only ruler of Tianshan. Very few people have seen her face. Most people have only heard of this terrifying name from bloody Jianghu stories.
At this time, Qin Ran had entered Lingyuan Palace and began to slowly search the palace.
He still had to use the locator previously placed on the jade statue of Li Canghai to locate it.
Without this locator, given the size of Lingjiu Palace, it would have taken Qin Ranguang several days to find the location of the Tianshan Child Elder.
Qin Ran discovered that the locator was located at the highest point of Lingyuan Palace.
This Lingjiu Palace is indeed a holy place in the martial arts world, a forbidden area, with tight security everywhere, and all the martial arts are extraordinary.
The beauties here are all wearing light blue cloaks. From a distance, they look like a blue cloud. The nine guards here are all women. They all have a black mandarin embroidered on the chest of the cloak, and they look ferocious.
After an hour of searching, Qin Ran entered a courtyard.
This courtyard is located at the highest point of Lingyuan Palace. The whole body is made of snow-white marble, a specialty of the Western Regions. Under the bright moon in the sky, it looks like a dream on earth or a palace in Guanghan, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Qin Ran slowly walked into this place. In the center of the palace, there was a lush nursery with osmanthus and roses planted everywhere. Although it was located in the bitter cold land of Western Xia, it was like Guanghan Palace, with the fragrance of osmanthus and roses everywhere. It's like a fairyland on earth.
