Outside the capital city, the Pingyang Army commander was in a big tent.

"Bang!"

The water cup in Kong Wenzhao's hand fell to the ground, falling into pieces, and tea splashed everywhere.

"What did you say?"

The scout said with some fear: "The thousand elite soldiers who went to steal the camp were wiped out!"

Silence, dead silence.

"Go down!"

After a long time, Kong Wenzhao waved his hand and said tiredly.

The scout was so amnesty that he rushed out of the camp after giving his salute, but found that his back was sweating.

"How could this happen? How could Xiao Qi find the ambush?"

Kong Wenzhao's face looked extremely ugly. Even though he was scheming, he would not show his emotions when he was usually happy or angry, and now he was a little disobedient.

After all, they are a thousand elite soldiers who can condense their fighting spirit.

The Juye Gang used to be just a third-rate sect, and only had a few county towns. It was not easy to gather so many soldiers.

These soldiers are one of the trump cards of the Juye Gang.

But now, all the soldiers were wiped out, and Kong Wenzhao felt that his heart was twitching.

"Even I think your plan will be successful, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by the enemy."

At some point, an old man appeared in the tent.

This man's hair and beard are all white, but his face is rosy, full of energy, and looks like a fairy-like figure.

He appeared silently like a ghost, but Kong Wenzhao was not surprised at all.

"Disciple has met the ancestor!"

After seeing the old man, Kong Wenzhao did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward respectfully to salute.

“No need to be polite.”

The old man nodded slightly.

His gray eyebrows frowned and said, "The soldiers were wiped out. Do you still have the confidence to defeat Xiao Qi and then conquer Xiangdu?"

Kong Wenzhao did not rush to answer, but lowered his head and thought carefully.

The old man didn't care. He waved his sleeves gently, and the teacup fragments that fell to the ground gathered together again.

"Bang!"

The tea cup that looked intact gently fell on the table. The old man found a chair to sit down and took a nap there.

Kong Wenzhao was extremely thoughtful and did not notice the old man's actions at all.

After half an hour, Kong Wenzhao raised his head, but heard a snoring sound.

He looked at the old man who was dozing on the chair, then looked at the teacup that was as intact as before, with a look of horror in his eyes.

Kong Wenzhao did not dare to disturb the old man, so he tiptoed to the table to prepare for military affairs.

"I've thought about it, just tell me."

As soon as Kong Wenzhao sat down, he heard the old man's voice, but the old man had woken up at some point.

"Master, my disciple disturbed your old man's rest and felt panic."

The old man waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for the sect, I would rather stay in the deep mountains and forests every day and understand the great way of nature."

"It's just that you juniors have to make trouble for the wind and rain. The sect leader has visited me several times to the back mountain to invite me, and I can't go against his intentions."

"Tell me quickly. If you don't have the confidence to take down Xiangdu, if you really can't, just withdraw your troops. I want to go back to the back mountain to practice early."

Kong Wenzhao took a deep breath and said, "If the ancestor is willing to take action, it will be easy to win the face."

The old man shook his head and said, "When I reach my level, I must not take action easily."

Kong Wenzhao's eyes showed disappointment, and then said, "If the ancestor refuses to take action, he can only ask the senior brother to come out to help."

The old man's face finally changed a little.

"Your senior brother is in a special situation. If you participate in this war, although it is possible to influence the outcome of the war, it may leave hidden dangers."

Kong Wenzhao said, "If the next chaos is coming today, my Juye Gang has accumulated many years of savings, and it is time to take the opportunity to expand."

"If you shrink back now, the development of the sect will definitely be like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!"

The old man looked at Kong Wenzhao quietly, and after a long time, he sighed: "Actually, if you are willing to practice carefully, your achievements may not be inferior to your senior brother."

"It's a pity that you are bound by worldly power and can't take that step."

Although the sects divide their land into a country, the top masters in those sects basically do not care about the world and concentrate on seeking the Tao.

This is also one of the reasons why the masters of various major sects emerge one after another.

If you cannot cut off your concern and be bound by various things, it is very difficult to achieve great achievements in martial arts.

Kong Wenzhao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the old man's words.

...

On the official road, Huan Chang rode a donkey forward.

"General, there is Xindu City ahead, and the city has been surrounded by Pingyang Legion."

"When our scouts were investigating, they also found many scouts of Pingyang Army, and the two sides fought each other and lost."

"Pingyang Army has gathered together when we hear that we have arrived, so be careful!"

Huan Chang raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "The army stopped, build fortifications, and wait for the subsequent army to arrive!"

Surprisingly, Kong Wenzhao did not take the opportunity to lead troops to raid, and the defensive measures constructed by Huan Chang sent people were not useful.

After Xiao Qi led the army over, the two joined forces and rushed towards the northern gate of the Xiangdu capital.

Before this, Huan Chang had sent a master to contact the lord of Xiangdu City.

Xiao Qi led a large army to rush over, and the northern gate of Xiangdu opened immediately, and a brave general led the crowd to support him.

The Pingyang Army, who were left at the North Gate, were attacked by front and back, and immediately collapsed and fled in scattered.

Some generals from Lu were preparing to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but were blocked by Xiao Qi and ordered the entire army to ignore the defeated soldiers and enter the city directly.

Huan Chang took the lead and entered Xiangdu City first.

After all the 50,000 troops entered the city, the northern gate of Xiangdu was closed again.

"Sir, the lord, can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

The lord of Xiangdu City is a man in his forties. He has a little fat figure but his eyes are bright.

Xiao Qi stepped forward and returned the salute, saying, "If the city lord had not blocked Pingyang's army here, the southern Qufu family members had been conquered by the bandit army."

"Your Majesty also mentioned this matter to me and said that the lord has made great contributions."

After the two exchanged greetings for a while, the city lord suddenly asked: "Just just now, the lower officials saw that the Pingyang Army in the North Gate was defeated, why didn't the lord take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing?"

Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "Although the enemy's formation seems chaotic, I vaguely retreat with a very organized manner. There must be a fraud here."

"What's more, the army is coming quickly, and the soldiers are exhausted. Now is not the time to fight against the bandit army."

The Lord of Xiangdu City thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but praise: "The master is as wise as a torch, and he is considerate and considers himself. The lower official sighs that he is not as good as he is."

"Since the adults are here, then the Xiangdu defense will be left to the adults, and the officials can breathe a sigh of relief."

Xiao Qi is not humble.

Because the most taboo orders are different in the battle, Xiangdu defense must take over, regardless of whether the lord of Xiangdu City wants to.

"The City Lord is humble. I am not very familiar with the appearance. In the future, I have to rely more on the Lord to defend against the enemy."

"After repelling the invading army, I will definitely ask for merit for you from the Lord."
