The disciples of the Institute of Zhiyong and others stayed in Dongjieguo. They had decided to follow the princess from now on and no longer be from the people of Pangshan Daotong. This is the right choice. In the army of ordinary people, they have more use of the land and have a bright future.

Mu Xingqiu brought three Qilins back to Duanliu City. They belong to the Pangshan Taoist dynasty and cannot be left outside. The Qilin was not allowed to ride Chen Hao, so he could only fly back to the city by himself.

The fleas were full of energy and jumped all the way, still practicing the rushing technique on the battlefield. The patrol soldiers on the road made way out of the distance. The soldiers' mounts were even more nervous than the master. They tried to retreat as much as possible. When the kirin walked by, they all bowed their heads slightly, and they didn't even dare to shake their tails.

Most of the soldiers were from Tosuke. They already recognized Mu Xingqiu, held a spear and called him "General Mu" in a voice of surprise and awe. They were still paying attention until he walked far away.

Mu Xingqiu could feel the true feelings of the soldiers of the Toetsu Country. They didn't seem to care about the change of loyalty to the Princess of the Nishisui Country. A large part of the reason was "General Mu".

Mu Xingqiu gained great prestige on the battlefield and is now slowly transferring to the princess. This is something that the two knew very well, and no one needs to say it. Mu Xingqiu did not care about the reputation of the world, and the princess never said that he would give him a specific reward, but he could keep Chen Xiuming and others by the princess with confidence, and they would receive more than ordinary preferential treatment.

Mu Xingqiu then nodded to the soldiers of Tosukeguo whom he met on the road.

When he returned to Duanliu City, before dawn, Mu Xingqiu decided to go to the city guard house first. He promised to take care of Zhang Lingsheng's daughter and he had to take a look.

He met Chen Zhiwei at the gate of the city guard palace.

The imprisonment for many days has made the Lord Chengshou thinner. What’s strange is that his belly has not fallen at all. When he saw Mu Xingqiu, he immediately showed a stiff and flattering smile, nodded and bowed, rubbed his hands. He seemed to be going forward to pay homage, but he didn’t dare to get too close.

Several soldiers followed behind, like escorts or like escorts.

The person walking at the end was Huang Duwei, with a reluctance on his face. He showed joy after seeing Mu Xingqiu. He stayed at the door. He watched Chen Zhiwei and others get on the horse and whispered: "The Lord Chen is afraid that he will restore his official position. General Mu..."

Huang Duwei kept winking. He had completely offended Chen Zhiwei and he did not want to see him become his boss again.

Mu Xingqiu understood what he meant and smiled and said, "The princess has his own opinions, you don't have to worry."

Huang Duwei sighed, still feeling uneasy, "I feel relieved if General Mu says this, but...ah."

Mu Xingqiu guessed that the princess' re-employment of Chen Zhiwei was probably related to the Holy Talisman Dynasty, and the city guard of Duanliu City had been accepting bribes from the Longbin Society of the Imperial Capital. This was a ready-made bridge.

Mu Xingqiu suddenly understood the princess’s way of hiring people, so he said to Huang Duwei who turned around and was about to say goodbye: "Congratulations, you are going to be promoted."

Huang Duwei was stunned. He did not participate in the battle yesterday. He led a group of old and weak soldiers to defend the city and did not make any contributions to the princess. How could he say "promoted"? But he still bowed: "Thank General Mu Jiyan."

The princess is a person who is well versed in the ways of compromise and win over. In order to regain the hometown of Xijie Kingdom, she can let go of all grudges and even temporarily forgive the enemy, but she will not indulge the enemy. She forgives Taifu Xin for not dying, but cut off the close relationship between her family and the Zi Fu Army. She re-emphasized Chen Zhiwei and must find a way to restrain him.

Since Huang Duwei was ordered to escort the city guard, he was the restrictor chosen by the princess.

Mu Xingqiu began to feel that the princess was a little scary. She was like Zuo Liuying who was silent to the lower Taoist priests. Both of them had another set of behavioral rules. They were like fish in water in their own circle, but people outside the circle couldn't understand it.

Mu Xingqiu was once again glad that he was able to stay away from the royal family's struggle for power, and at the same time he understood the reason why the Nine Daotongs are obviously powerful but never interfered in the affairs of ordinary people - it was not that they could not, but that they were unwilling to be destroyed by complex worldly affairs.

The princess did not live in the city guard house. She was much calmer here all of a sudden, with only a few soldiers guarding her. Some of the servants ran away, and more than twenty were left. Mu Xingqiu asked Zhang Lingsheng's daughter's residence and went straight to the backyard.

There were other people in the room besides the nanny.

Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Qingtao asked in surprise at the same time: "Why are you here?"

Fangfang and Badzi were also here. Fangfang seemed not surprised by Mu Xingqiu's arrival. Badzi was hanging in the air to look at the baby on the bed. The demonic heart was hidden in his forehead, revealing a small part of it, like a muddy and evil eye. Beside him, the old nanny held her breath and stared at her head without blinking. The more afraid she was in her heart, the more she couldn't take her eyes away. She was relieved when she saw General Mu come in.

"This little thing is really interesting." The bald man said happily, making faces at the baby with his tongue, making the baby giggle.

"Zuo Liuying let you out?" Mu Xingqiu asked again.

"Well, he wants to talk to Lan Qizhang, so he drove us out. Xiao Qingtao said that Zhang Lingsheng's daughter is very cute, so we came over to see it. She is indeed very cute and is not afraid of being alive at all." Fangfang smiled, very happy to be able to leave the small place in the inn, "What are you here to do?"

Mu Xingqiu walked to the bed and took a look. It was a white and fat baby, with his lotus root-like arms raised in the air, and he was more interested in baldness than anyone else.

"Zhang Lingsheng asked me to take care of his daughter."

Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao both understood the meaning of this sentence. Only the bald man was still grimacing at the baby. He accidentally hung his hair into the baby's hands and pulled each other endlessly.

"Poor child." Xiao Qingtao's eyes burst into tears, "She doesn't know she has no parents yet. But Zhang Lingsheng is really strange. He has always had a bad relationship with you. Why should he entrust his daughter to you?"

"Zhang Lingsheng thinks his daughter is a person with Taoist roots, and hopes that I can help her condense her qi into a pill and become a Taoist priest Pangshan."

"Really?" Xiao Qingtao observed the baby curiously, "The Tao root will not appear so early, I remember that I was only sure that there was Tao root when I was seven years old."

Fangfang stretched out her right hand and pressed her thumb on the baby's forehead. The baby loosened the bald hair and climbed Fangfang's thumb with both hands, trying hard to move it into her mouth.

"She may have a real root, but it's not obvious yet." Fangfang smiled at the baby, and the baby automatically let go of his hands and also had a big smile on his face.

"The little guy likes Fangfang more." The bald man said in wonder. At the same time, he stretched out two strands of hair to tease the baby.

"Haha, that Zhang Lingsheng has found the right person. Brother Xiaoqiu is best at helping others condense elixirs." Xiao Qingtao himself is the beneficiary and is full of confidence in Mu Xingqiu.

The baby was sleepy and began to yawn, and was no longer interested in the grimaces made by his head.

The three of them and Bald Men left the room and were not in a hurry to go back to the inn, so they chatted in the cold yard. The chill of late autumn was a pleasure for them.

The topic naturally turned to Lan Qizhang, "I really admire him." Xiao Qingtao said sincerely. "Did he know he wanted to break the pill early in the morning?"

Fangfang nodded, "I think he knew, otherwise he would have stayed at the Ancestor Peak at that time."

Xiao Qingtao directly asked what Mu Xingqiu wanted to ask the most, "The left leader brought you out too, he won't... ask you what he should do, right?"

"No, I am..." Fangfang glanced at Mu Xingqiu, "The first one who followed everyone to leave the ancestor's peak did not make any requests to me."

Xiao Qingtao said relaxingly, and Mu Xingqiu's heart even more stone fell to the ground. Although Zuo Liuying is not a disciple of the Nianxin Department, he is proficient in the Five Elements Water Illusion, so it is easy to persuade someone to work hard for him.

"The technique of breaking the alchemy is not advisable. I really don't understand why Zuo Liuying made such a choice." Mu Xingqiu expressed his true opinion.

The bald man was chasing the unicorn and flying around the yard. Xiao Qingtao and Fangfang were both looking at Mu Xingqiu, a little surprised.

Mu Xingqiu kept thinking about this matter, recalling his previous experience, and even disapproved of Zuo Liuying's plan. "It makes sense that the Nine Daotongs will bless every disciple of the alchemy to hide the fundamental method. Although the elixir-breaking technique is powerful, the hidden danger is also very serious. If a Taoist priest can't think about it for a moment, the entire Taoist priest will be destroyed. For more than 100,000 years, Taoist priests would rather die in battle than use the elixir-breaking technique, but they would not want to set this precedent. Zuo Liuying used this trick, and someone would inevitably imitate it in the future, and even the Taoist priests would make demands for their disciples to break the pill, which is a big hidden danger."

The two female Taoist priests thought for a while, and Xiao Qingtao whispered: "In the past tens of thousands of years, the Taoist priest has never encountered such a great disaster. The left leader has to do this. Other Taoist priests will not imitate it."

"It is hard to say that if the art of breaking alchemy can really save Pangshan Taoist and the Patriarch Tower, other Taoist dynasties will definitely be impressed by this, and from then on, breaking alchemy will become a choice." Mu Xingqiu saw Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao frowned and thought deeply, and added with a smile: "It may be that I am thinking too much. Zuo Liuying must understand these things. I just hope that he did not refuse to ask for help from Taoist dynasties because of his pride."

"Why are there so few people coming to help?" Xiao Qingtao sighed, "A few Taoist priests came, and now they have all left. Isn't the Nine Dao Tong the same spirit? They have also come to Pang Shancun and I wonder why they don't save him when they see him? They are worse than ordinary people."

Xiao Qingtao became more and more angry as she spoke. Mu Xingqiu and Fangfang were the people she trusted the most, so she dared to express her feelings. If there were other Taoist priests present, she would never dare to speak like this.

But neither of them could answer her doubts. Taoism was like a mountain. People at the foot of the mountain could only vaguely see a small piece on the top of the mountain, and they had no way of knowing what kind of scenery they would see when they stood on the top of the mountain.

With a whoosh, a meteor flashed from the sky in the northeast and actually headed straight for Duanliu City. When the light disappeared several miles away from the city.

The soldiers guarding the city were surprised and discussed it as a strange thing for a while and then forgot it. The Taoists knew that this was someone flying in the air with a weapon, and that they were high-level Taoists above the Xinglu Realm.

Mu Xingqiu grabbed the bald man's hair bun and raised his weapon with Fangfang and Xiaoqingtao at the same time. They saw it very clearly that the guest's place was the inn where Zuo Liuying was.

A light suddenly rose above the inn that only Taoists could see was light, which was more than ten feet high, and it was exactly the image of the Patriarch Tower.

The person who came was Taoist Pangshan.
