In the next two days, people from the Persian Ming Cult came to sneak attack on everyone more than ten times every night, making everyone feel like frightened birds, and they couldn't even sleep well. Among the people of the Persian Ming Cult, the ones with the highest kung fu were also inferior to Master Jiejie and Deputy Gang Leader Yang. However, their kung fu was so weird that they were hard to guard against during a sneak attack. Even Master Miejie and Deputy Gang Leader Yang could not stop them.
On the third day, people from the Persian Ming Cult didn't attack anyone, which really made Xiang Yan a little uncomfortable. Until the Beggar Clan disciples and the Emei disciples separated at the Yellow River - the Beggar Clan disciples went up the Yellow River to Luoyang, and the Emei disciples went south along the canal to the south of the Yangtze River - no one from the Persian Ming Cult made a sneak attack on everyone. Both Master Miejie and Deputy Gang Leader Yang invited Dai Qisi to be their guests. Dai Qisi politely declined Deputy Gang Leader Yang. At the invitation of Master Miejie, she brought two disciples, Yin Li and Yang Buhui, Xiao Zhao, her daughter, and Zhao Min, the hostage. Went to Emei together.
Xiang Yan was very surprised and asked Zhou Zhiruo: "Senior sister, why don't you think people from the Persian Ming Cult came to attack us?" Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Are you still expecting people from the Persian Ming Cult to attack us?" Xiang Yan said: "No, I'm not expecting people from the Persian Ming Cult to attack us. I'm just a little surprised why they didn't come. Didn't Mrs. Han say that the people from the Persian Ming Cult would never let her go no matter what?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "There are quite a lot of rebels in Shandong, and many of the generals of the rebels are disciples of the Beggar Clan. Deputy Gang Leader Yang contacted the disciples of the Beggar Clan in the rebel army and asked them to lead people to besiege the people of the Persian Ming Cult. The people of the Persian Ming Cult were under siege by the rebels. , suffered heavy losses, and retreated." Xiang Yan said happily: "I didn't expect the people of the Persian Ming Cult to retreat so easily."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said: "This is nothing unexpected. The people of the Persian Ming Cult did not dare to fight hard. Seeing that we refused to give in and were surrounded by the rebels, they naturally had no choice but to retreat." Xiang Yan was stunned and said: "Isn't it possible? Before. When we fought against people from the Persian Ming Cult, every one of them was fearless of death, how could they not dare to fight tooth and nail?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "That's not what I meant. Mrs. Han said that the people of the Persian Ming Cult came to welcome him as the leader because of the death of the old leader. I don't think so. Mrs. Han also said that there are three saints in the Persian Ming Cult. Mrs. Han There was only one of them. How could there be any reason for the three envoys and the King of Twelve Treasure Trees to come out with thousands of troops to meet her alone? Besides, among the people from the Persian Ming Cult who came over, there were no other two seen. Saint."
"Among the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings, those with higher kung fu are not inferior to Master and Deputy Gang Leader Yang, and those with lower kung fu are not much better than the senior sisters. Although Mrs. Han said that the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings are dedicated to studying the teachings and mastering the classics. Being the master does not necessarily mean they have high martial arts. But they are both treasure tree kings, so the difference in martial arts is too great. Furthermore, whether in China or Persia, the Ming Sect is a demonic sect and must compete with the righteous way. With the strength of the Persian Ming Cult, it would be difficult to compete with the righteous way."
"In my opinion, most of the Persian Mingjiao was besieged by the righteous people of Persia. Their leader, King Baoshu, and two other saints were killed. Those King Baoshu who were poor in martial arts were re-elected later. The Persian Mingjiao was in Persia. Unable to gain a foothold, I remembered that they still had a branch cult and a saint in Middle-earth, and they had a good relationship with the Tatars, so I planned to come over and make a comeback. The reason why they besieged us in the first place was probably because the Tatars came out to support them. Conditions for a comeback.”
"The Persian Mingjiao only has these men left. How can they make a comeback if they suffer heavy losses? When they fought with us, they clearly had the upper hand, but they retreated. It must be that they cannot bear the losses. Now we refuse to give in. It’s hard to say whether they can achieve their goals if they continue to entangle, and heavy losses are certain. After weighing the pros and cons, it’s natural for them to take the initiative to retreat.”
Xiang Yan said again: "Sister, why do you think Zhao Min still followed Mrs. Han and didn't escape? When the Tatars attacked us and the Persian Mingjiao people attacked us, she should have had many opportunities to escape, right?" Zhou Zhiruo nodded. Said: "Yes! Zhao Min obviously had many opportunities to escape, but he insisted on following Mrs. Han, the enemy who killed his father, and refused to leave. There must be some conspiracy. It's just that Zhao Min was the hostage taken by Mrs. Han. It's not clear yet that Mrs. Han What do you think? It’s hard for us to deal with it.”
On this day, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Mount Emei, and all the disciples of the Emei Sect looked sad. Zhou Zhiruo said that there were more than 30 disciples who followed Master Miejie on the expedition to Guangmingding, but now only 18 disciples have returned to Emei, and the rest have died in battles with the imperial court and the Persian Ming Cult.
After arriving at Mount Emei, Master Jingxuan led Dai Qisi and others to the guest room to rest, while Master Jiejie led the disciples and Zhu Jiuzhen, Wu Qingying and Xiang Yan to the back hall. The back hall is solemnly decorated, with a long sword hanging on both walls. The scabbard is dark and the sword tassel is old. It is expected to be the sword of a senior Emei sect.
