Zhao Ying captured Longcheng, the northern capital, and was defeated like a mountain. The defenders fled and surrendered, turning into a mess. The situation was over. After hearing that Qinhu followed Ding Shuanghe and his party, they abandoned the city and fled. Before leaving, he ordered Longcheng to be destroyed. Deputy left-behind officer and Longcheng Yin Tang Xianren was released. Tang Xianren was full of resentment, his family members were still imprisoned and suffering, and none of the money he had collected over the years was left. He took the initiative to ask for surrender with his official robe in hand, appeasing the people for the rebels, sealing up money and food, and saving Zhao Yingbu. Less hands and feet.
Zhao Ying was very strict in his military management. He chopped off more than ten heads and hung them high on the city wall to prevent the arrogant generals from entering the city and looting. He did not give face to anyone. Zhao Ying was about to step forward to argue, but he was coldly rejected. return. He was annoyed, but had nothing to say. He was not the one who defeated Dragon City. His promise to "slaughter the city in three days" to boost morale was a fart.
The rebels were in chaos for a while, but under Zhao Ying's iron fist, they quickly stopped and controlled the situation. Dragon City was in chaos for a while. Tang Xianren opened his eyes and gritted his teeth. He used coercion and intimidation, using both soft and hard tactics, and used all his strength to appease them one by one and handed in the surrender certificate. It was inevitable that Zhao Hongtu and his like would sow discord. Zhao Yingshui didn't even bother to take a sip. He carefully considered his words and sent an envoy to report to Zhao Ju, Fanyang's Jiedushi envoy, that Longcheng had been conquered. Please come to the city to take charge of the overall situation.
Hu Muxian stayed in the city and met Xia Yun, the young gang leader of the Tianlong Gang. When they met, he was shocked. The young gang leader was wrinkled and had gray hair. He seemed to be an "old" gang leader. He thought he had been possessed by some evil spirit. Dharma and sorcery, the essence is taken away by others, and the lifespan is not long. Xia Yun heard that he was the envoy of the Huashan Sect, so he didn't dare to be negligent. He asked about the purpose of his visit and showed a perplexed look on his face. The Yanghu was not in the city, but had gone to Mount Tianshan more than a hundred miles away. He didn't know when he would come back. .
Hu Muxian asked the elders in the city about the direction of climbing Tianshan Mountain, and rushed to see Wei Shiqi. Unexpectedly, he had just stepped into the boundary of Tianshan Mountain, and his soul was lost for a while. Unknowingly, he went in the wrong direction. He turned around and returned to the foot of Longcheng, where he suddenly woke up. After repeating this process over and over again, Hu Muxian finally confirmed that what Tu Zhenren said about "tampering" was true, and that Wei Shiqi had other important matters when he climbed Tianshan Mountain and had no time to pay attention to him. What kind of person is more important than the disciple of the great elder of Huashan Sect in Immortal City? Hu Muxian felt hurt, so he returned to Longcheng angrily and waited patiently for Wei Shiqi. In order to avoid any delay, he asked Xia Qian to inform him.
Xia Qian accepted the sentiment of sending him thousands of miles away, served tea with her own hands, and thanked her diligently. Hu Muxian glanced at her and marveled, this girl is just an ordinary person, she needs the guidance of a Taoist to practice Taoism from the beginning. Although she is a little older, The best opportunity was missed, but the road was not completely blocked. Seeing Xia Qian, he remembered Wei Shiqi's other beautiful disciple Li Yihe, and realized in his heart that the reason why Wei Shiqi stayed in the world was to recruit more disciples before going to Immortal City. No matter how dilapidated the Daigo Sect was, After all, it is one of the Left Dao sects, and the sect leader cannot be alone, without even a messenger.
After figuring this out, Hu Muxian thought he had a plan, and thought about finding more young and beautiful female disciples for him.
After waiting for several days, Wei Shiqi finally returned to Longcheng and summoned him to meet him. It had only been a few months since we parted ways in the Turkic grassland. When he saw Wei Shiqi again, Hu Muxian could hardly recognize him. He was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized that Wei Shiqi had resumed his identity as a "sheep protector" and was a member of the Huashan sect. Abandoned disciple, survivor of Heshuo Yang clan, Xia Yun's brother-in-law, Xia Qian's husband, but sooner or later these human identities will disappear like fireworks in the night sky, and life will be like a dream. Only by pursuing the road can there be a ray of longevity. The possibility of immortality.
The two had a good time drinking, chatting and laughing. After three drinks, they got to the point. Hu Muxian's purpose of coming was similar to that of Xuanyuan Qingcha. The Huashan clan wanted to support the prince Liang Zhiping. Wei Shiqi was involved in it, and his attitude was unclear. He was entrusted by Tu Zhenren. , ask him what he wants. The implication of Tu Zhenren's words is that if his demands are not too much, he might as well give in and form a good relationship. Hu Muxian knows the propriety in this. Talismans, elixirs, precious materials, flying swords, and fairy fairies are all negotiable.
The sacrifices of Daliang are indispensable. This is the bottom line of Immortal City. Wei Shiqi pondered for a moment and asked: "The dragon and the snake are rising together, and the world is in chaos. If Immortal City does not intervene, do you think the rebels can take over the Central Plains?"
Hu Muxian had long regarded himself as a serious Taoist and had never cared about the disputes in the world. However, this time he heard Zhao Derong talk about the general trend of the world in Yangzhou and remembered some of it. He then copied it and said: "Liang Yuanhao's three sons are incompetent. Shoucheng However, the Liang Kingdom is in danger. It retreats to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. It can still extend the country. The governors of the three towns in Hebei are short-sighted and have no ambitions. They can only divide themselves into one party. Among the northwest rebels, Zhao Bohai is a figure, and he has Han. He will assist you carefully, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely conquer the Tianjing City and occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains. As for who will be able to dominate the world, we are still not sure at the moment."
Wei Shiqi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Isn't this your knowledge?"
Hu Muxian did not hesitate to betray the master's background and said: "There is a female disciple named Zhao in the Huashan Sect who was ordered to serve as a concubine in Liang Yuanhao's harem. She revealed all these inside stories."
Wei Shiqi praised: "It's amazing to have such insight."
Hu Muxian was wrong and said: "Although Zhao Derong's qualifications are somewhat inferior, she is very sophisticated and capable. After a few years, she will return to the Huashan Sect. I will order her to transfer to the Daigo Sect to be driven by the sect leader."
Wei Shiqi did not comment and changed the subject: "Zhao Bohai's crime of colluding with monsters is unforgivable. The world has been in war for a long time. It is better to rest and recuperate as soon as possible. It is better to use the Wei River as the boundary in the north and the river in the south. The former territory of the vassal town to the north of the Wei River is the border barrier. , still ordered the Jiedushi envoys of the three towns to be stationed. The fertile land in the Central Plains between the rivers belongs to the prince Liang Zhiping. The land of fish and rice south of the river belongs to the king of Huai, Liang Zhizhong. They each guard their own territory, wipe out Zhao Bohai, drive the monsters out of the gate, and are not allowed to cross. How about half a step to Cangling?"
After Hu Muxian thought about it for a moment, he realized that the Huashan Sect supported the crown prince Liang Zhiping, and the Xuanyuan Sect supported the Huai Wang Liang Zhizhong. They set the river as a boundary and each got his own place. The common people could almost avoid a dispute. As for the three towns in Hebei, they were clearly regarded by Wei Shiqi. Ban Wei, intending to order Zhao Ying to take it. The world is divided into three parts. This is an important matter. Before Wei Qiu took control of the fairy city, he took food from the tiger's mouth of Huashan Sect and Xuanyuan Sect, which made him stunned. Hu Muxian did not dare to act independently and only agreed to present the proposal to Master Tu. No one could predict the outcome.
Wei Shiqi picked up the jug and filled the wine for him. Hu Muxian was flattered and took a full cup with both hands. He felt that it was fragrant and mellow, and the taste was long. Wei Shiqi accidentally mentioned that in the past few days at the top of Dentian Mountain, he and Xuanyuan Qing, the head of the Xuanyuan Sect, sat and talked about Taoism. They had a very happy conversation. In a few days, he will go to Immortal City with his disciples. As for entering the left Taoism, I am still hesitating whether to return to Xuanmen.
Hearing this, Hu Muxian suddenly realized that Wei Shiqi was not a true abandoned disciple of the Daigo Sect, and the secret skills of blood energy did not necessarily belong to the heretical sect.
