The army from Tongcang City departed from the county and marched all the way eastward. When they arrived at Shouting City, it was already dark.
Luo Chuan didn't care about the trivial matters of the army's camp. He just left everything to Zhao Wuji. He got off his horse inside the city gate and went straight to the city wall. Behind him, there were two people, Ying Ying and Siqi, who were now taking his place. Luo Changgong, along with the military commander Lu Sen and others who were serving as escorts beside him, were also arranged under the city wall.
Because at this moment, standing on the wall of Shou Tong City, watching the army entering the city, was a gray-robed old Taoist with white eyebrows and long beard, expressionless face, the strongest man in Southwest Hanzhou, the leader of the Cangyan Sword Sect, Qi Mingzi.
Luo Chuan wore blood armor and trotted up the city wall in three steps and two steps at a time. After coming to stand next to Qimingzi, he saw that the old Taoist priest had no intention of speaking, so he stood side by side with him, looking at the long snake extending under the city. The long army that reached far away was silent.
After a long while, when there were the sounds of soldiers setting up camp everywhere in the city, Qimingzi finally said, "Since then, many of these young people will never come back when they go east and south."
Luo Chuan did not shy away and said "Yes" heavily, "I will not let any of them die easily, and I will not let any of them die in vain."
Qimingzi shook his head slightly and said, "Master Taishou, please note that many things in this world cannot be what you want."
Luo Chuan still said without thinking, "What the real person said makes sense, but since many things have to be done no matter what, there is no need to worry about the rest. The real person knows me, and what I think is right must be done. of."
Qimingzi did not comment, but changed the topic, "In the past few days, a series of guardians came to Shouting from various places. They met with the old Taoist and said that they were following the eunuch's order and were temporarily under the control of the old Taoist, but they must let the eunuch know. The old Taoist is such a person, he can restrain his disciples, but he cannot control others."
Luo Chuan nodded, "Junior understands, I will let Uncle Zhao make deployment arrangements according to the needs of the war situation, and try to save every one of them as much as possible while the war situation is favorable."
Qimingzi shook his head, "Not just those people, everyone from the Cangyan Sword Sect who came with Lao Dao this time can be deployed by the Grand Administrator and Lord Commander according to the battle situation, including Lao Dao himself. In this way, we can be one. In addition," he He stretched out his hand and pointed towards the city, "Since these people can die, so can Lao Dao and others. They are born as human beings, there is no difference."
Luo Chuan did not answer immediately this time. Instead, he turned his head to look at the old Taoist priest next to him. Seeing that there was no change in his face, he thought for a moment before nodding and said, "Senior, I understand what I meant. I will coordinate together. I am also the best. As for the others... I will try my best."
After Qimingzi heard what Luo Chuan said, he turned to look at him. After looking at him all over, he looked at Siqi who was following him in light armor and asked Luo Chuan, "She has something on her body." Shang, I have to stay by your side before and after this battle."
Luo Chuan turned to look at Siqi and said, "That's true, but this junior is thinking that after Ziyi City goes south, she will be asked to follow Uncle Zhao."
Siqi glanced at Luochuan, then at Qimingzi, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qimingzi shook his head slowly, "The prefect is blessed with great luck. It is much better to have her by your side than by someone else."
Luo Chuan glanced at Qimingzi with some surprise, then turned to look at Siqi, nodded and said, "Senior has said so, junior just obey." When he saw Qimingzi closing his eyes again, he asked urgently, "Master, may I ask how Fairy Lingjing is doing?"
Qi Mingzi said, "The realm of the Six Realms is considered stable and safe, but the injury is not serious, and it affects the origin, so it requires a long time to recuperate. If it can clarify the original mind again, it is not a bad thing."
Luo Chuan nodded, with a serious look on his face, and cupped his hands towards Qimingzi, "This matter happened because of this junior..."
Qi Mingzi shook his head, "Isn't there someone from the Wangchuan Sword Sect who has been trapped in Yongchang and has not been able to get back? This is a destiny. Ling Jingzi is destined to have this calamity, and it has nothing to do with the prefect. Moreover, as the old Taoist said just now, resist the barbarians and save the world. No one in this world is immune to death." He clasped his hands together and turned to look at the soldiers in the city again. This time
He half-closed his eyes and said nothing, like an ordinary old man standing on the city, praying for his children and grandchildren to return from the battlefield.
When Luo Chuan saw this, he didn't say anything. After signaling Siqi and Shadow with his eyes, he turned around and walked down the city wall.
But none of the three of them noticed that just when they turned around and went to the city wall, behind Siqi Qingjia, a strand of hair that had fallen off was blown down by a wisp of breeze, rolled around, fluttering, and unexpectedly reversed the direction of the city wall. The force flew up the city wall again, going around in circles for a long time before falling into Qimingzi's clasped hands and burning into ashes.
The old Taoist priest's clasped hands performed several spells. He closed his eyes tightly and counted with his right hand. When he opened his eyes, there were already complex colors in them. His expression remained unchanged, but he sighed slightly. He took one last look at the soldiers below the city and closed his eyes.
But when Luo Chuan and the other three people came down the city wall, Si Qi started chirping in Luo Chuan's ears, "Didn't I say that I would follow you, when did I say that I would follow Commander Zhao? If it weren't for the fact that Master Qiming had done this for me Talk, you want to throw me away! Uncle Jiang told me to keep an eye on you, if you want to throw me away, you can't do it this time no matter what!"
Luochuan had a headache from her quarrel, so he stopped and looked at her, "Didn't I agree to follow you? But Commander Siqi, you must have thought clearly. Under military orders, there is no personal relationship, if you really want to follow me on the battlefield, But you can’t help yourself!”
When Si Qi saw Luo Chuan's glare, he felt a little scared. When he saw him turning around and walking away, he followed him again and muttered, "It's not what I said. What do you blame me for? But even Master Qi Ming has gone south this time." Here, Nanyi is determined not to deal with it. Master Qiming said that you are a person with deep blessings, but we are not. If you are still not careful, give us..."
Luo Chuan suddenly stopped and slapped Siqi on the arm, causing her to take a deep breath and couldn't help but swallow the next words.
Luo Chuan chuckled and said, "Master Qiming also said that if you stay with me, you can get some blessings. Just follow your young master carefully. We can get along with it, let alone the Nanyi people." Snakes, insects, rats and ants!"
Siqi curled his lips.
The shadow on the other side raised his hand to catch a piece of jade slip, glanced at it and handed it to Luo Chuan, "The news comes from the southeast."
Luo Chuan took the jade slip, and the fire-colored zhenqi in his hand turned slightly. The jade slip emitted a red shimmer, reflecting a line of small characters. He looked at it intently, thought about it for a moment, and then he seemed to suddenly realize and was surprised. ,"It's him?!"
