Sucheng, located to the north of Baihe River, is named after a city wall made entirely of snow-white stones.
It was noon in Sucheng. The city walls were stained with blood and smoke was billowing in the city. In the sky, there were still practitioners wielding flying swords to fight back and forth. On the ground, countless soldiers were tearing and entangled like ants. In the streets and alleys , in that courtyard, they were killed with bloodshed.
The common people huddled in their houses one by one, blocking the door with everything they could, not daring to take a step out. However, there were still some unlucky ones who had their doors penetrated by the aftermath of soldiers or cultivators in the battle. Or the courtyard wall, the red-eyed soldiers rushed in, but no matter they were good citizens or deserters pretending to be soldiers, all they needed was a single blow.
For a moment, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and his head and face were covered with blood.
To the east of Sucheng, only about two or three miles away, there is a mountain peak standing near the river, called Zao Mountain. There are clusters of buildings on top of Zao Mountain, and there are clusters of villas at the foot of Zao Mountain, which is already the size of a small town.
The green mountains, green waters, shady trees, pure and natural scenery here are extremely beautiful, but it has been a private property since ancient times and has never been open to the public. Most people do not know who owns this place. They only know that some Taoist priests live here, and it is the county. The gentlemen who guard the government office don't dare to investigate this family if anything happens. I guess it's a bit unusual.
When the military calamity hit that day, many people outside the city wanted to take refuge in Zaoshan. Unexpectedly, before they could get closer, they found that the place had already been surrounded by thousands of soldiers from Guangjun. The people They quickly turned around and fled west, not knowing where they would eventually escape...
But it was said that the soldiers of Guangjun surrounded Zaoshan, but no one fought in. It was not until a carriage arrived that the soldiers slowly gave way to a road.
The carriage drove slowly and arrived at the gate of Zaoshan Villa. A soldier came forward and shouted, and then the gate slowly opened from the inside. Two young Taoist priests wearing light green robes bowed in the direction of the carriage. He saluted and stepped aside.
The carriage drove in slowly, and behind the carriage, thousands of soldiers followed bravely.
For the first time in hundreds of years, the pure land was opened to the soldiers wearing armor and fighting hard.
The carriage drove until it reached the foot of the mountain, and the woman in brown robe who was driving jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain, and invited Yun Bailou, who was dressed in snow-white clothes, to get out.
"Is Master Wan Qingsi here?" Yun Bailou asked as soon as he got off the car.
The woman in brown robe looked up and said, "It shouldn't be here yet."
Yun Bailou hummed and put his hands behind his back. He was not in a hurry to climb the mountain. Instead, he stood at the beginning of the stone steps at the foot of the mountain. He looked around and couldn't help but admire, "These Taoist priests from Tingfeng Pavilion are still here." He understands life quite well."
After saying this, he turned around and walked up the steps. A group of soldiers were guarding at the bottom of the mountain. The only one who went up the mountain with him was a woman in brown robe.
There were no words all the way. When Yun Bailou reached the top of this not-high Zaoshan Mountain, the sun had already set to the west. Yun Bailou's forehead was covered with sweat, and his pretty face was slightly red. He saw the woman in brown robe beside him. It's a little crazy.
This is a platform on the top of a mountain. Except for a huge palace at the end of the platform, there is nothing. If you lower your head, you can overlook the slender white river. If you raise your hand, you can touch the clouds passing by the mountain. It is a fairy scene.
"Is there no one on this mountain?" Yun Bailou took out a white silk scarf and wiped the sweat from his face. He looked at the beautiful scenery around him and felt relaxed and happy.
The brown-robed woman closed her eyes, then opened them, "In addition to the two little Taoist priests at the bottom of the mountain, there are seven or eight others on the mountain, all of whom are ordinary people who can't reach the third level."
Yun Bailou nodded and said with a smile, "He really left cleanly. Zhong Shuye has some courage."
The brown-robed woman suddenly looked up at the sky, and the next moment, Yun Bailou also looked up at the distant sky.
Because a loud crane roar came from far away, and there were several people standing on the back of the huge crane.
Soon, the crane arrived above Zap Mountain, circled a few times and landed on the platform at the top of the mountain. The three people on it jumped down, the leader of which was Wan Qingsi, the head of Xiaoyao Valley who likes to embrace snow-white animals.
"Master Wan, you came very quickly," Yun Bailou raised his hand and saluted.
Wan Qingsi returned the greeting, then raised her eyes and looked around, her face expressionless.
"Have Master Wan ever been to Zaoshan?" Yun Bailou came to Wan Qingsi, but he was not looking at her, but at the huge crane with its wings folded and several feet high. The crane was preening with its slender beak. Feather ignored him.
Wan Qingsi shook her head, "I've never been here."
"Then we can have a good time shopping today," Yun Bailou stretched out his hand to signal Wan Qingsi to invite him first. The place he pointed at was the main hall at the end of the platform. At this time, two young Taoist priests had appeared in front of the main hall. I looked at it from a distance and didn’t come over.
Wan Qingsi looked back at the main hall, shook her head again and said, "What is enshrined in the hall is nothing more than the statue of the ancestor of Tingfeng Pavilion and the tablets of the dead. It's okay not to look at them."
Yun Bailou looked around indifferently, "Then there is nothing interesting about Zaoshan Tingfeng Pavilion. I have visited quite a few places along the way. They are just courtyards with elegant environments. There is nothing special about it."
Wan Qingsi did not respond, but looked in the direction of Sucheng. From here, Sucheng looked like a square sign the size of a washbasin, but she looked at it very seriously, "No wonder Mr. Yun can be like this." In a short period of time, Lian Keliu City and Sucheng City actually invested so many troops here. Will there be no problems in the west if we mobilize troops like this?"
Yun Bailou smiled and looked in the direction of Sucheng, but with his eyesight, he could not see anything clearly, "If Luo Chuan and Zhong Shuye were not frightened by the arrangement I left, Maybe they have captured Sichuan City at this moment, and now that they have captured Sichuan City, they should be content."

Wan Qingsi did not look back, but asked directly, "What if they are not satisfied?!"
"Then hold back their main force in front, and then use the Guangjun navy to combine the merchant ships to transport troops. From the Yashui of the Han River and various tributaries, the armies of Guangjun, Qingjun and Yongchang County can be killed in just a few days. Anling and any location in the hinterland of Sancang, then..." Yun Bailou said with a smile, "It's not a question of what Lijun wants, but what I, Guangjun, want... ..."
Wan Qingsi did not ask Yun Bailou for details, but looked around and said, "All Tingfeng Pavilions have moved to Danyang Peak..." She saw that Yun Bailou still had a calm look on his face. , I couldn't help but feel something in my heart, "You actually transferred the entire Golden Sword Sect back to the Western Front? Then here... you didn't even think about taking over Dan Port in one go, you were just waiting for Li County to make a mistake?! "
Yun Bailou shook his head, "I never wait for anyone. No matter what others do, I have something I can do. For example, now, Senior Ling An has gone to the Western Front, and the head of Ke Wan... .Didn’t you just come to Zaoshan?”
Wan Qingsi suddenly realized, glanced sideways at Yun Bailou and said, "If I take action, are you sure that you can win Danggang?"
"It wasn't difficult before, but it's not easy now," Yun Bailou looked at Wan Qingsi with a smile, "But no matter whether we can capture Danggang in the end or not, Yun hopes that Head Wan can stay on this Zaoshan Mountain for a few days."
Wan Qingsi nodded, "You won two cities and lost one. Did you make a profit or a loss with this calculation?"
Yun Bailou laughed loudly, "Headmaster Wan, it's not Yun's boast. Apart from being tricked by Luo Tianen before he died, Yun really didn't have any experience of suffering losses in his life. If it were just based on Luo Chuan and Zhong Shuye can make me suffer another loss, and Yun Mou will suffer, so what? Sichuan City is like a useless place without investing a lot of money. It is given to Lijun now. It is really the best choice at the moment. If they can really build Sichuan City back to prosperity, then..."
"Just take it back again!!"
