This was the second day after Li Xiuyuan led his army to besiege the city. That night, dozens more people sneaked down.
After some inspections by the Forbidden Army, they quickly left Qingcheng while the night was just right.
Two nights later, there were already a hundred elders and disciples leaving Qingcheng.
But it seemed to Li Xiuyuan that it was not enough. He knew that this was because he had put too little pressure on Qingcheng.
So, when the time came and Xiao Hei flapped his wings and flew back to the military camp, he became a little angry.
So, while Xiao Hei was stunned, Li Xiuyuan took out the iron bow talisman arrow, silently aimed at somewhere above Qingcheng, and took a deep breath.
Then he turned to Xiao Hei and said: "Xiao Hei, go to the intersection at the bottom of the mountain and keep an eye on it. By the way, let General Nalan bring more people to guard it."
Xiao Hei was stunned, looked at him and exclaimed: "Brother, are you going to start a war?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan smiled: "It's still early, I just want to set off a firework for everyone to see."
When Xiao Hei heard this, he flew into the darkness with a swish sound: "Nalan Yu, get up and watch the fireworks."
"Since you don't move, I will move first!"
Under the bow, Li Xiuyuan muttered to himself. Just hearing the sound of "Buzz!", the iron arrow from the string pierced the dark night, flying towards Qingcheng like a bolt of lightning.
At this time, Nalanyu, who was shocked by Xiao Hei, had just walked out of the camp, looked at Xiao Hei in the night and asked: "Is there going to be a war? Where are the fireworks?"
At this moment, Qingcheng, shrouded in night fog, heard an explosion of "Boom!"
A huge spark rose into the night sky, and the mountain gate of Qingcheng, which had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, collapsed!
Both the disciples on the night watch on the mountain road and the elders in their sleep were awakened by the sudden explosion, and they all ran out and gathered in the direction of the mountain gate.
Seeing the mountain gate turned into ruins, a group of elders who got up at night started to curse.
And more disciples quietly retreated into the night. The mountain gate was destroyed. Naturally, the imperial army at the foot of the mountain couldn't wait to attack Qingcheng.
Even the headmaster and several elders who were still asleep were startled by the explosion and sent their disciples one after another to find out what happened.
Zou Wenshan, the elder of the medicine hall, sat quietly in his room and said quietly: "Elder Murong, the imperial master below the mountain can't wait any longer."
Murong Ming, who was lying on the bed, was stunned. He looked at the ruined mountain gate with his consciousness and sighed softly.
Returning into the night: "There is nothing I can do, but Elder Zou can consider leaving here..."
Zou Wenshan frowned slightly when he heard this, was silent for a while, and then muttered softly.
Qingcheng suddenly shone brightly in the night fog, making the disciples guarding the mountain road unable to open their eyes for a while. Only a group of elders came in a hurry, until the fire gradually weakened as the mountain gate fell.
The leader who released his spiritual consciousness felt very embarrassed and angry for a moment.
I thought to myself that before I brought you any trouble, you took advantage of the darkness to bomb my mountain gate.
But when he was so angry, he never imagined that Qingcheng had opened a great formation, and the mountain gate was protected by a magic formation.
How did the imperial troops at the foot of the mountain rush up and blow up the mountain gate?
Amidst the scoldings of a group of Qingcheng elders and disciples, dozens of disciples took advantage of the thick night fog to quietly bypass the collapsed mountain gate and go down the mountain.
If you don’t leave now, when will you wait?
The army at the foot of the mountain has already blown up the mountain gate of Qingcheng, and the next step is to attack them.
It wasn't until the ugly moment that Nalan Yu took Xiao Hei back to Li Xiuyuan's tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, he took out two boxes of pastries, opened them and put them on the table. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who was holding the scroll and said with a smile, "Please make a pot of tea. I was so frightened that I died of thirst."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled lightly, put down the book in Shi's hand, and reached out to light the stove on the table.
"How's it going? Is it effective?"
Since the elders of Qingcheng did not lead the disciples to charge down the mountain overnight, in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, there would be unstoppable disciples coming down the mountain overnight.
"After that explosion, dozens more people came down overnight. Counting two days, nearly two hundred people left Qingcheng."
Nalan Yu looked at Xiao Hei on the side and said, "This is all Xiao Hei's credit. It seems that I will have to ask Xiao Hei for a general reward later."
Xiao Hei, who was holding a piece of pastry, was stunned, and laughed and said: "Xiao Hei doesn't want to be an official, just give me money."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at Xiao Hei and said, "After eating the pastries and drinking two cups of tea, you can go to bed. You will have to walk again tomorrow night."
Xiao Hei nodded, looked at him and smiled: "Xiao Hei will help my brother defeat those bad guys on the mountain."
Nalan Yu thought for a while, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "I think we should send more brothers down the mountain these two nights."
"Big brother has arranged this matter. We will wait for two more days so that more disciples can leave."
For Li Xiuyuan, his purpose was very clear. He just wanted to bring down the seventeen Qingcheng elders. He didn't want to raise the butcher's knife against other innocent disciples.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Nalan Yu and said, "Counting the days, it's almost time for my wife and master to return to the imperial city."
"How long will they stay in the Imperial City? They won't run away like you, right?"
Nalan Yu was looking forward to Hua Luoyu's return. After all, that guy had learned how to make wine back then, not to mention that he had a swordsmith by his side.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head gently, and said seriously: "Don't try to take advantage of my master. He also has magic fire in him. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw."
Xiao Hei thought for a while, but didn't speak.
Because he saw the look in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, he had no choice but to hold the cup and drink half a cup of spiritual tea.
He yawned and shouted: "Xiao Hei is going to bed, brother, don't make any noise."
Nalan Yu also put down his cup and said to Li Xiuyuan, "I have to rest too. I have to continue digging holes tomorrow."
After saying that, he got angry at his feet and left the tent in an instant.
Xiao Hei, with his eyes half closed, looked at Li Xiu Yuan and asked, "Brother, the old man doesn't have magic fire, but Xiao Hei does?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed: "Do you want the monks from the entire Five Realms to keep an eye on you? Aren't you afraid of being caught and threatening to roast you and eat you? Are you really invincible?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid you won't be able to move anywhere in the Five Realms in the future... Besides, they are not without weapons, so you don't need to worry about them."
After saying these words, Li Xiuyuan reached out and put out the oil lamp on the table, and wrapped himself in the animal blanket.
Quietly leaning on the recliner, he said quietly: "One more thing is worse than one less thing."
Hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Xiao Hei suddenly felt a chill on his body, shuddered, and was speechless for a while.
Just like Shenlong Valley, he doesn't want to be remembered by others.
Regarding Qingcheng, Li Xiuyuan didn't take any chances. The worst he could do was face a head-on battle with the leader and elders of Qingcheng.
But if that happens, Qingcheng may really be removed from Qingcheng.
And this result was not what he wanted.
…
When the morning fog cleared and a ray of sunshine shone on Qingcheng, most of the disciples were still sleeping, and the entire sect was extremely silent.
Everything was because of the explosion last night.
The noise caused all the elders and disciples to not sleep well, and some disciples who were already in a state of uncertainty left the sect before climbing to the top of the mountain at the first ray of light.
Before midnight, Nalan Yu led a large army and kept digging at the foot of the mountain. They wanted to dig this huge tunnel before noon.
In Li Xiuyuan's words, it can not only stop the charge of the monks on the mountain, but also prevent large rocks from falling and injuring the imperial troops guarding the heavy slaves.
Li Xiuyuan, who got up early, glanced at Xiao Hei who was immersed in his dream, walked out of the tent to wash up, and then walked down the mountain.
He wanted to see the big pit and see the masterpieces of the Imperial Guards.
Until I saw a huge stone pit appearing at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, with mud piled on the side and countless stones of the same size, I finally laughed with satisfaction.
For the past few days, people have been thinking about what they would do if the elders of Qingcheng ignored him and launched a charge at the foot of the mountain.
Until this huge stone pit appeared in front of me.
Looking from a distance, it can't help but give people a strange feeling, as if a giant beast is guarding the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, waiting for the monks on the mountain to rush down with its big mouth open.
Behind the giant beast, only a hundred feet away, there was a dense row of heavy slaves glowing with black light. Even if an elder rushed through the pit, he could not escape the attack of hundreds of heavy slaves.
What's more, there are thousands of iron bows waiting behind the heavy slave.
This time, Li Xiuyuan will not give up until he achieves his goal, because the spirits of those dead brothers in heaven have not yet closed their eyes.
Li Xiuyuan sighed after looking at it again and again, but did not praise the Forbidden Army who were still digging holes, because this was their duty and their mission.
What he has to do is to bring all the five thousand forbidden troops here back to the imperial city.
Nalan Yu crawled out of the pit, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said in disbelief: "After the explosion last night, another group of disciples left, and there was even one..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and said with a smile: "What is it? Could it be that you also let an elder go?"
Nalan Yu glared at him and said, "Anyway, you don't really want to drive away the old man. The old man is an innocent guy. I waved my hand and let him go."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Qingcheng shrouded in clouds and mist, thought for a while and said, "Then just like what the elder brother said, anyone who is not the seventeen elders with blood-stained hands can leave here."
After some thought, Li Xiuyuan finally raised the butcher knife in his hand high and then gently put it down.
As long as the murderer was brought to justice, he would not want to ask any other elders or disciples. It would be best to leave this matter to the general Nalan Yu.
Maybe it can also show that the emperor is a benevolent king among the five regions, so that the elders and disciples of Qingcheng will remember his good deeds.
If you want to hate, just hate yourself. It doesn't matter to him, so what if he ages ten more years?
He believed that as long as he gave himself ten years, he would be able to enter the realm of mortal transformation in Fengyun City or on the Tianshan Mountains.
Nalan Yu was stunned and asked curiously: "What did the Imperial Master say before? Or are you still following the current order?"
Li Xiuyuan turned to look into his eyes and said seriously: "In my heart, there are only those seventeen damned people. Others, including the head, can be let go."
After saying these words, he turned away and spread another sentence from a distance: "The Imperial Guards on duty will be doubled tonight to guard against their sudden attack."
Nalanyu was stunned for a moment, then looked up the mountain and murmured to himself, "Is this the last day?"
…
Above Qingcheng, a group of elders in the main hall were in chaos.
Even Murong Ming, a law enforcement elder, did not expect that Zou Wenshan, the elder of the medicine hall, would leave Qingcheng alone without saying goodbye.
As the head of the sect, Yuan Qiu was even more furious. He looked at a group of elders and said coldly: "Are you all thinking the same as the elders of the Medicine Hall and want to leave Qingcheng in this difficult time?"
Murong Ming sighed softly in his heart, thinking that it was okay to leave. After all, Zou Wenshan focused on refining medicine. When had he ever experienced a life-and-death battle?
I'm afraid it's the same for all the elders in Qingcheng, except for a few elders and a group of disciples who participated in the Beihai War.
The elder who led a group of disciples to fight in Beihai quietly left on the night Li Xiuyuan sent out the warning letter.
Others don't know, but they have seen the murderous intent of the national master on the Beihai battlefield.
Seeing the leader's angry look, Murong Ming said quietly: "We can either go down the mountain to fight with them now, or we can only wait for them to attack the mountain."
