At this time, noon has passed.

The sun is still scorching like fire and the heat is fumigating.

On the official road leading to Hanzhong in Chongqing Prefecture, more than 20 red-maned horses galloped across the board, dust was flying, and coyotes were smoked.

Look from a distance.

The unified purple robe uniform is neat and fierce, with a majestic momentum. The leader is a little thin, white and long face, and his eyes are as dazzling as an eagle and falcon. This person is Lei Chonghu, deputy commander of the Nanyong Zhifang Pavilion.

In the queue of galloping horses, there were three heroic young men who were extremely excited and had cheerful smiles on their faces. It was obviously the first time they went out to perform a mission.

There is an inexplicable surging, wandering in my heart.

One of the dark young men was carrying a water and fire iron stick in his hand, and his body was filled with a high spirit. This person was Long Qingyun's neighbor in Tonglu County, and his classmate and friend Niu Ben from Songyang Sword Mansion.

Another honest and honest young man held a goose feather knife in his hand. The handle of the knife was pitch black, the blade was straight, the tip of the knife was curved, and there was a reverse blade. This person was Wang Gao, the descendant of the Golden Sword Sect of Luoyang. He was a classmate and friend of Long Qingyun in Songyang Sword Mansion.

There is also a young man with a tall figure, handsome and majestic appearance, holding a mace in his hand, with a five-foot long handle, which is extremely heroic. This person is Liu Wenlong, one of Long Qingyun's three friends in Songyang Sword Mansion.

How did they come here?

How could he get along with Lei Chonghu?

It turned out that a few days ago, the Chongzheng Hall of the Nanyong court decided to start a war against Donghan. Prince Yongtan asked Emperor Ningzong to go to the Sichuan-Shaanxi War Zone to supervise the war.

After retiring from the court, Prince Yongtan personally went to Songyang Sword Mansion to select elite soldiers and generals to expand his Eastern Palace Guard.

Niu Ben, Wang Gao, Liu Wenlong.

From Long Qingyun's Feige's letter, he learned that his former friend had joined the crossbow army in Donghan Jingzhao Mansion and investigated military information in Hanzhong as a scout.

Several people heard that Prince Yongtan was expanding the Eastern Palace Guard and heading to Hanzhong to supervise the war, so they signed up enthusiastically and participated in the assessment of Prince's Mansion. Several people were the best among the disciples of Songyang Sword Mansion, so they were naturally hired.

The Eastern Palace Guard followed the prince, followed the rolling Yangtze River, and advanced to the Chongqing Prefecture Wharf yesterday evening.

Prince Yongtan and Zhenyuan Hou Su Wanting had important matters to discuss, so they specially sent Lei Chonghu to lead the vanguard guard to Hanzhong first to convey the relevant matters.

......

Songbai Peak.

As the highest peak of the ninety-two peaks of Zibai Mountain, the location of the East Sect is surrounded by clouds and mist. The mountain is steep and towering among the peaks of Zibai Mountain, making it particularly dazzling.

Long Qingyun accompanied the sect leader Hu Yanxiong and several elders to patrol the defensive arrangements of Songbai Mountain. Long Qingyun sighed in his heart:

"It seems that the founder of the Dongyi Sect is very good at choosing a site. This Songbai Peak is not only beautiful and has a pleasant scenery, but also has a dangerous mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has a favorable terrain that one man is at the pass and ten thousand men cannot open."

Meng Yunxiao and Romansheng are jointly responsible for the defense of Songbai Peak. Meng Yunxiao is responsible for the east and west directions, and Romansheng is responsible for the south and north directions.

Meng Yunxiao's "Penglei Sword" is sharp and fast, while Roman Sheng "Pengleied the Cloud Arrow" passes through the Yang in a hundred steps. The two of them jointly protect the safety of Dongyi Sect.

This configuration of "two-person joint defense" is a rule passed down by the founder of the founding school.

It is said that when the Dongyi Sect first started the sect, an elder was originally responsible for the defense. Later, the elder was forced to betrayal by the enemy and attacked up the mountain by the enemy, causing the Dongyi Sect to suffer huge losses.

Long Qingyun was amazed at the wisdom of the founding ancestors of the Dongyi Sect. This "two-man joint defense" configuration is very similar to the camp stationed in the suburbs of Beijing outside the imperial city. There are usually two or several, respectively affiliated with different generals.

This method of mutual restraint and balance can prevent one person from negligence or betrayal, and put the entire sect in a dangerous situation.

So in the entire Dongyi Sect, Meng Yunxiao and Romansheng, who are in charge of defense, are above Pang Zhengming, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Zhu Shaoqing, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.

The elder of the Library Pavilion Wei Changfeng was ranked last.

Wei Changfeng is a book lover and stayed in the library. From the moment Long Qingyun climbed the mountain, he never appeared in the hall of the main hall from beginning to end.

Long Qingyun vaguely felt that the elder Wei Changfeng of the library seemed to be the last seat of the elder, but in fact he had an outstanding position that was beyond the world.

Could it be that the key to the East Sect’s standing tall for hundreds of years is the elder of this library?

After comparing martial arts with Hu Yanxiong with Long Qingyun, he deeply felt that although Hu Yanxiong's martial arts are powerful, he is not enough to be called the number one master of Dongyi Sect.

Perhaps, more than ten years ago, the real reason why the "Heihu Village" defected to Dongyi Sect and Xixing Palace did not make a big move lies in the elder of this library, Wei Changfeng?

This kind of thing is the core secret of a sect, and perhaps only the sect leader knows it. It is also the real power of this sect.

Long Qingyun suddenly remembered what Yu Jingzhou, the master of military genius, said: "Soldiers are the devil!" In fact, the very powerful sects in the martial arts world also have the "devilish way".

This is the difference between "face" and "inside".

The leader of the sect who is in charge of the sect in front of the Taiwan Strait is often the "face" of this sect. The person who carries out killing behind his back and resolves disputes in the world is often the "insider" of this sect.

The leader of the gang, this "face" emphasizes martial ethics and supports the sect's sect's sect. The "inside" hiding in the dark in the gang is to carry out grudges and revenge and maintain the glory of "face".

"Face" must restrain the "inside" and "inside" must "protect" the inside.

Thinking of this, Long Qingyun suddenly sighed: "Hey! As far as I know, there are five elders in Dongyi Sect, why is there one missing?"

Hu Yanxiong was stunned.

A strange expression appeared on his face that was not easy to detect. Although it passed in a flash, it was still captured by Long Qingyun.

Romansheng happened to be next to Long Qingyun and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Changfeng is a book lover. He stays in the library all day long, spends his whole life studying scriptures, reads books, practices calligraphy, and paints. He does not participate in the worldly affairs of the world."

Long Qingyun was slightly stunned and said leisurely: "Oh? It turns out that the elder of the Library Pavilion is bigger than Elder Luo?"

Romance blurted out and said, "Of course, Senior Brother Changfeng is the oldest among our fellow brothers."

Hu Yanxiong frowned slightly, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Junior Brother Luo, didn't you realize that Brother Long is messing with you?"

Romansheng couldn't help but be stunned, stared at Long Qingyun in confusion and said, "Military advisor? Are you really talking to me?"

Long Qingyun smiled happily and said loudly:

"Lord Luo, the sect master is right. I saw that Elder Changfeng of your library has not appeared in the main hall, nor in the conference hall, nor in the defensive arrangements."

Long Qingyun paused, showed a sly smile and said excitedly:

"It can be seen from this that Elder Changfeng has a unique status in the East Sect. Now I heard Elder Luo say that Elder Changfeng is the oldest. Haha, this Elder Changfeng's martial arts must be unfathomable, and I must challenge it."

Long Qingyun seemed to have discovered a new world, and his innocent and tender smile appeared in his clear eyes.

Hu Yanxiong was extremely shocked. Long Qingyun was indeed not simple. In a few hours, he discovered that there was a hidden peerless master in my Dongyi Sect.

But then I thought about it, it was a blessing for Dongyi Sect to have a talented young hero like Long Qingyun joining Dongyi Sect.

Hu Yanxiong showed a bright smile on his majestic face.

It seems that the Dongyi Sect is just around the corner.
