The national teacher does not practice

government office.

At this moment, Ye Hongling stood in the open hall, leaning over and looking at a huge "sand table" in front of her.

Above it is the layout of the entire Yuhang City, with small flags scattered about, howling in the wind and snow. However, looking out from the gate, you can only see officials running back and forth to deliver orders.

People wearing different colors of clothes were running back and forth, and the rooms were noisy.

The clerks were wrapped in winter clothes and sitting next to the brazier to calculate the situation of material collection, and constantly summarized the latest trends reported from outside on the sand table in front of Ye Hongling.

Faced with Ye Hongling's sudden and powerful rise to power, many officials in the government office resisted.

The way the female martial artist dealt with it was also extremely simple and crude.

By deposing several high-ranking officials as a warning to others and putting the remaining officials who were unwilling to cooperate under house arrest, she took control of the resources of the entire city with a population of one million in the shortest possible time.

"Sir, there is chaos in Xifeng Street, and the progress is blocked..."

"Sir, the people of the North City Martial Temple have been transferred, and the underground palace has been opened..."

"Captain, the granary was too late to be moved and has been sealed according to your order..."

A famous official rushed into the palace.

Ye Hongling responded expressionlessly. As a military attaché, the female warrior was actually not good at such matters.

Even because of her lack of experience in government affairs, she was unable to come up with appropriate solutions to many things.

But this is not important, because this is a war for "time". What she needs is not to be orderly, but to serve as the backbone to maintain the stability of the entire court official system.

Therefore, she cannot show any panic or cowardice.

As long as she stands here like a flag for everyone to see, she has completed her mission.

The more calm and decisive she is, the more stable and efficient the entire official structure will operate.

This is not her wisdom, these are the instructions written by Ji Pingan in the Taoist Scriptures.

Few people know that Ye Hongling is only the one who controls the overall situation on the surface. The one who actually makes the moves and makes the plans is the young man who is not in the city at this moment.

"Chief Commander! Oh no, a large number of attacks have begun to appear in the city..." Suddenly, an elite member of the Demon Slayer Division rushed outside the yamen.

shouted.

At the same time, everyone who was busy in the government office raised their heads and saw the "birds" flying overhead, mixed in the heavy snow.

Ye Hongling's hand holding the sand table suddenly tightened, and Ji Ping'an's order came to mind:
"Once the demon clan officially starts the war, immediately abandon the government office. Your mission is to guard the North City Martial Temple."

I remember she asked at that time: "What about other urban areas?"

Ji Ping'an's answer was straightforward and simple: "I have my own arrangements."

Ye Hongling didn't know what kind of confidence this young man, whose level was lower than hers, had.

Why is it that despite his young age, he is more calm and calm than a military commander like himself when facing such a disaster?

But she still chose to believe that he would create miracles again just like he did again and again in the past.

"Pass my order!"

Ye Hongling drew her sword and instantly smashed the heavy sand table in front of her. The female warrior wearing a black cloak stepped out and glanced at everyone:
"Everyone, bring your weapons and follow me!"

……

Pei's.

Throughout the mansion, people from the Pei clan gathered at the door, with martial arts practitioners protecting the surroundings.

The atmosphere was panicked and depressing.

"Mom, it's time to go!"

Pei Qiuwei was wearing a large fox fur cloak, with a thin white circle around the collar.

The talented woman in the background is becoming more and more distinguished. However, at this moment, the girl has lost the calmness and calmness of the past. Although she still moves appropriately, she can't hide her anxiety.

In the ancestral hall, Li Xiangjun put the family tablet in a box, held three sticks of incense in his hand, bowed seriously to the portrait of Pei Sanniang at the top, and recited:

"Ancestors bless you."

Then she hurriedly crossed the threshold. This graceful and plump wealthy lady suppressed her panic and looked at her daughter, maids, and servants waiting outside the ancestral hall.

Asked: "Where is father?"

Pei Qiuwei shook his head and said:

"Grandpa didn't come out and told us to leave. He had other important matters. This is what Ji Sichen meant."

As a member of a wealthy family, the Pei family was the first to learn of the coming war.

After that, Huang He visited the house in person, met with Pei Wuju, the head of the old family, alone, and even revealed some news.

Therefore, Pei's movements are the fastest, but also because of the burden of a large family, it is not that easy to transfer.

What did Ji Sichen mean... Li Xiangjun bit his lip and nodded.

Although from a safety point of view, it would be best if Pei Wuju could be protected by the team, but the large number of masters that Pei has supported over the years are not vegetarians.

As long as you don't encounter an overly strong enemy, it's enough to protect your master's life.

"Father and third brother are waiting for us." Pei Qiuwei urged.

The mother and daughter immediately walked out of the high gate courtyard and got into the carriage.

The huge convoy immediately set off in a mighty manner, and the demon blood horses pulling the cart were enough to drag the heavy carriage towards the Dongcheng Martial Temple.

Li Xiangjun sat in the carriage, raised his hand to open the curtain, and looked at the guards holding knives on both sides to open the way, and the silent city further away, with an uneasy expression on his face.

At this time, screams were heard in the distance.

……

"what!!!"

At this moment, I don’t know whether the big shift stimulated the early launch of this raid, or whether it was the scheduled time.

When a large flock of birds flew through the sky, it had been snowing for many days in the city. Under the thick layer of accumulated snow, curled-up snow monsters emerged from the ground and attacked the nearest people.

They even formed a torrent and swept towards the crowd.

In an instant, those teams that had not completed the transfer were interrupted, death came, and the crowd fled in all directions.

Screams, exclamations, wails, and roars all merged together, but were suppressed by the thick wind and snow.

"Be careful!" In the direction of Nancheng Pier, Zhao Daniu was wrapped in a thick winter coat. He slammed Old Man Zhao into the snow and narrowly avoided a flying strange bird.

The boatman and his son, who had briefly met Ji Ping'an and his party, now lost their bravery on the deck and were squeezed into the crowd, looking as weak as anyone else.

Zhao Daniu pulled out a hatchet with his backhand and slashed at the snow demon coming to kill him.

But the blade was embedded in the beast's shoulder blade and could not be pulled out!
The monster with scarlet eyes screamed, and the smelly wind blew in his face, scratching bloody wounds on Zhao Daniu's back.

Immediately, his attention was attracted by the scream of another boatman not far away. He fluttered his wings and jumped over, biting off his neck in an instant, and blood flowed out.

"Run... run..."

Zhao Daniu's whole body stiffened in shock, his ears were ringing. He saw with his own eyes that the boss of the boat who had been quarrelsome with him was bitten to death in the wine shop that day, but he could do nothing.

"Wow!"

Old man Zhao, who was thin and dark-skinned, got up and took advantage of the chaos to run out with his son. Along the way, he saw more and more snow monsters emerging from all directions.

Hunting people wantonly.

The people fled in fear, but more of them were too frightened to move and lay limp in the snow.

The Zhao family father and son watched helplessly as a man who was trying to hide himself in the snow suddenly twitched, and a blood-stained demon emerged from his chest.

An old woman on the roadside threw herself on a child and was torn to pieces but did not dare to let go.

In the crowd in the distance, a man running a boat in the rivers and lakes lit a torch from somewhere and waved it vigorously. Then when he turned around, his head was taken away by the "strange bird" that pulled out the afterimage from the wind and snow.

A large group of people gathered around him, and the people who were trying to seek protection scattered in fear. In the chaos, some weak people fell to the ground, and were gradually trampled until they stopped moving.

Run...run...Zhao and his son gasped for breath and ran like crazy, but they couldn't find the direction at all, as if there were dead ends everywhere.

at last.

When the two were stopped by a collapsed carriage, they turned around in despair and found that in the streets in front of them, there were dozens of snow monsters with red eyes, like a pack of wolves, rushing toward them.

"Do not--"

Zhao Daniu's face turned pale. He still wanted to dream about going to the capital of gods to study and step into the world of gods, but it seemed that everything was going to end here.

However, at this moment, the running snow monsters seemed to sense something, and suddenly stopped collectively, roaring and retreating.

Then.

The Zhao family's father and son only heard a voice coming from behind. The collapsed carriage was instantly torn apart, and in the fiery light, a red flying sword rushed in.

A red shadow of death was drawn out, and it was involved in the demon group. In the blink of an eye, there were screams, and the fierce snow demons were torn apart.

Lay down the corpse and behead him.

"Everyone, gather to this saint!"

A slightly familiar voice swept across like waves in all directions.

Zhao and his son slumped on the ground, turned their heads suddenly, and were shocked to see a group of practitioners wearing Taoist robes flying from a distance, followed by the gathered people.

Every Taoist priest raised his hand to make secrets and controlled the flying swords to sweep through the streets like a violent storm.

Yu Yu, who was wearing a red and white Taoist robe, raised his wrist and grabbed the sword rope with a majestic look. He glanced at the boatman and his son on the ground and was slightly startled.

He flew over, casually threw a recovery spell at the two of them, and said calmly:

"Can you still go?"

The Zhao family father and son were overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, got up in a hurry, and returned to the world from the gate of hell. Zhao Daniu looked around and mustered up the courage to ask: "Where is Ji Sichen?"

Because of the fighting, Ji Ping'an's waistcoat had already been picked up by newspapers.

Yu Yu walked with his sword, flying sword through the air and cutting the snow, passing by these two little people, without stopping, her voice floated in the wind and snow:
"We were sent by him. As for him, he must be doing more important things."

at the same time.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that on the main streets throughout Yuhang City, teams of practitioners braved the wind and snow and began to exterminate the snow monsters.

And gathered those people who had not yet had time to evacuate.

And the most amazing thing is that those teams can always get to the place where the snow monsters erupt the most violently the fastest.

Directly engage the demon clan's large army in close combat.

Compared to such a large city with a population of one million, those straggler-like snow monsters are not important.What really needs to be watched out for are the hordes of "Snow Demon Torrents", which are like squads of the human army, spewing out in an organized manner to strangle the crowd.

Originally, it was impossible to detect the location of these teams in advance.

And it is completely impossible for the combined practitioners of the State Religion, Demon Slayer Division, and Yunhuai Academy to take care of all aspects.

The number of people is too small and it is a drop in the bucket.

But when they followed the map and route given by Ji Ping'an, at the same time, people entered the main road in groups and moved.

The positions of the monster armies began to be organized and could be judged.

"How did Ji Ping'an calculate it? Did we really catch him?" On a certain street, Qin Leyou's sword swept across.

Every time the thick sword energy swept across, a large group of the lowest level snow monsters died.

Han Qingsong wiped his sweat and looked at the sword with understanding:
"He not only understands the distribution of spiritual elements in this city and the fighting style of the demon clan, but more importantly, he ordered the government to transfer the people. The purpose of the demon clan army is not to destroy those buildings. That is meaningless. They want to Kill people, so no matter where you appear, you must approach the nearest group of people."

"Bait?" Qin Leyou understood.

Han Qingsong nodded:
"It's a bait, but it's also the best method. Instead of letting all the people disperse and cause chaos, this method can minimize casualties."

Qin Leyou sheathed his sword, stuffed the escaped elixir into his mouth, and grinned:
"But what I'm more curious about is that with so few manpower, the defense network is not enough. The real war is participated by the soldiers of the Human Race Army, but this attack was too sudden, and the Dadong Army had no time to rush over. With our manpower, even with this method, there is still a huge gap in the defense.

I remember the teams assigned by Ji Ping'an. There was the Demon Slayer Division in the Beicheng District, and the Dao Sect in the Nancheng District. It was difficult for us, Qin Tianjian, and the Pei family's masters to barely cope with the east side of the city, but what about the west side?Have you given up? "

The moment the former sheathed his sword, Han Qingsong drew his sword to take over perfectly, saying:
"I don't know, but I trust him."

Qin Leyou smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, you won't fall in love with him, right? The so-called Long Yangzhi..."

Han Qingsong almost stumbled and fell, looking at the former with confused eyes, wanting to curse.

Qin Leyou laughed wildly and wildly:

"I'm just teasing you. No more joking. Junior brothers, raise your swords!"

As he spoke, a famous scholar raised his sword at the same time, flew with it, rushed into the sky, and circled with a large group of "flying birds".

West of the city, set the time back to before.

As the biggest "loophole" in Ji Ping'an's layout, although the government was transferring people as usual, there was indeed a lack of practitioners patrolling the streets.

But what few people know is.

Before the war broke out, Jianghu forces began to gather here.

Xici Hutong, in the courtyard where Tianji Pavilion is located.

Jiang Xiaotang, wrapped in a cloak and with a golden pipe tied around his waist, came from Hongfu Street surrounded by Jiang disciples and pushed open the courtyard door.

I saw old man Tianji standing under the eaves, waiting quietly.

In the courtyard, some small leaders of the local Jianghu forces in the city also gathered together.

Jiang Xiaotang frowned and said, "What's going on? Send a message to summon us?"

Although Old Man Tianji is not very powerful, he is quite famous in the martial arts world. Not long ago, Tianji Pavilion suddenly summoned the martial arts forces in the city.

Although each family was strange, they still came with dignity.

However, in the past, the master of Tianji Pavilion, who was cunning and cunning in the past, had wild eyes today. Hearing this, he smiled and shook his head, saying:

"I'm not the one calling you all."

Jiang Xiaotang was stunned for a moment: "Not you? Who is that?"

"It's me." Suddenly, the door opened, and a young man with mediocre appearance dressed as a divination master came out.

It also instantly attracted the attention of people in the world, but that face was quite unfamiliar.

It's not any powerful figure in the world they are familiar with.

Only Jiang Xiaotang froze on the spot, suddenly staring at the young divination master and lost his voice:

"It's you?!"

She remembered.

When the Wulin Alliance met, the Four Holy Sects arranged for people to assassinate them, causing a wave of turmoil.

At that time, a Jianghu divination master was suspected, and was pulled to the White Tiger Hall for interrogation, and was later imprisoned.

Jiang Xiaotang was present at the time, but she didn't have a good impression of this cowardly hexagram master at that time.

She only remembered that this man was greedy for life and afraid of death, and couldn't even drive him away. This kind of man made her extremely disdainful.

However, at this moment, the Gua Master who appeared in front of her seemed to be a different person, with the same appearance, but in his movements, there was an indescribable temperament that was hard to ignore.

"Nvxia Jiang, we meet again." Buyi smiled.

Jiang Xiaotang stared at Old Man Tianji, wanting to ask for an answer, but the old man who held an important position in the world just stood respectfully beside the Gua Master.

"Don't be impatient, someone else should be arriving soon." Bu Yi said with a smile.

Then, the courtyard door opened again, and a group of veiled heroines with flying knives on their waists entered the door.

Listen to the Snow Tower!
Jiang Xiaotang was not surprised by their arrival, but what was surprising was that the leader of the team was not Tingxue Tower owner Nangong Wan!

But another woman also veiled and wearing a black robe!
"Master Nangong, this is..." Jiang Xiaotang asked tentatively.

However, Nangong Wan did not answer, but looked at the leader Xue Ji with reverence.

Xue Ji's eyes were a little cold, but her aura was extremely strong. If the cold weather weakened the others, it greatly enhanced the skills she practiced.

In this environment, her magic can be enhanced by at least three small realms.

Xue Ji ignored Jiang Xiaotang, her eyes fell directly on Bu Yi Shen Xiang, and she frowned slightly:

"Photographer?"

Bu Yi looked at her with squinted eyes and tried with a smile:

"Snow Maiden?"

Neither of them called each other by their full names, but they already knew each other's true identities with just a few words.

Reborn.

Two "old monsters" who were contemporaries back then met again by chance.

Buyi Shenxiang smiled and said:

"I calculated that someone would come, but I didn't expect it to be you. It just so happened that I was worried about how to integrate the forces in this place to deal with this disaster. The arrival of Miss Snow has solved an urgent need."

Xue Ji ignored him, just turned to look at the courtyard door behind her and said calmly:
"It's not enough for us."

Bu Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes were suspicious, his physiognomy could not be calculated too accurately.

At this time, there was a huge crowd outside the door again, and a group of people walked in. The leader was wrapped in a cloak, followed by young people dressed as scholars.

"Who are you?" Jiang Xiaotang spoke again. She felt as if she, the talkative person in the world, had been ignored.

However, the next second, when the leader took off his cloak and revealed an elegant and square face, everyone present was stunned.

"Song Xuezheng?" Jiang Xiaotang opened her mouth. She had been living in Yuhang for many years. How could she not know Gongyuan Xuezheng in the literary circle?
But this group of scholars and the people in the world are completely different from each other. What are the civil servants of the imperial court doing here?
Song Qinglian smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "There is no Song Xuezheng here today, only Song Qinglian, a hidden official in the world."

Dark web!

Everyone was shocked when they heard the word "hidden official" and instantly understood the power represented by the other party.It’s actually the Jianghu dark web.

Jiang Xiaotang also vaguely reacted at this time, looked at Song Qinglian, then at Xue Ji, and suddenly said loudly:

"Are you sent by Ji Sichen?!"

She suddenly panicked and didn't know what kind of situation she had fallen into.

Why do these people seem to know each other, but the world that I was familiar with suddenly changed beyond recognition.

At this time, a snow demon flew across the sky and let out a sharp whistle.

Xue Ji narrowed her eyes and said, "There is no time to explain, we have to leave as soon as possible."

The last piece of the defense puzzle has been completed.

……

Outside Yuhang City.

inside the cabin.

"So are you sure that Song Qinglian and Xue Ji can handle those gangsters?" God Emperor asked.

Ji Ping'an lowered his head and looked down at the flat map in front of him seriously, without raising his head, and said:
"Someone will help them."

"Who?"

"Buyi." Ji Ping'an lowered his head and said:
"Didn't you say back then that although he was a fortune-teller, he was actually a great talent? If he entered the temple, he could be the prime minister."

The God Emperor was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression:
"The fortune teller is back too? With his reclusive nature, he would take the initiative to run into danger?"

Ji Ping'an didn't look at him and continued to lower his head and said:
"In this era, doesn't this country have nothing to do with you and me? If we only consider personal cultivation, you and I should not do this, but be happy to see the results. After all, if the national destiny is stable, it will all belong to you sitting on the throne. That unscrupulous descendant, but if it really collapses and escapes, we will have the opportunity to devour and divide it. How can a stable dynasty give you the opportunity to regroup and seize power? Or will your descendant take the initiative to return the position to you? ?”

The God Emperor was speechless.

Yes, from a personal selfish point of view, they shouldn't do this at the moment.

The death of hundreds of thousands of people is a bad thing for the court, but with the abilities of the two of them, as long as they handle it properly, it will be an opportunity.

But they chose to rescue anyway because some things always take precedence over others.

Ji Ping'an raised his head, put the map in his sleeve, stood up, patted the God Emperor on the shoulder, and said:
"Do you still remember the reasons I gave you when we started an army?"

The God Emperor recalled, "Of course I remember."

Ji Ping'an thought: "The infinite distance and countless people are all related to me."

The God Emperor stood up with a smile: "It has something to do with us."

After a pause, he realized: "Eh? Do you want to go out?"

Ji Ping'an said "yes" and suddenly smiled at him: "The guests are here, so we have to entertain them."

With that said, he pushed open the hatch and walked to the deck. At this time, the ship finally stopped because of the ice and was unable to move forward.

The Qintian Supervisor Star Officers controlling the sails looked forward at the same time.

Ji Ping'an also looked at the ice with his hands behind his hands, and saw iron corpses like an army, breaking through the wind and snow, heading towards them.

……

Suddenly, I feel that the title of this chapter is the common spiritual core of the protagonist's life. .quack quack
