Chapter 523
At the end of the 18th year of Spring and Autumn.

The 40 troops in the Western Regions marched from north to south.

Because of Jiang Qingyi's reckless advance, the 20 troops guarding the Western Fortress were flanked by 4000 beasts outside the border of the Western Regions, and less than [-] of them survived to return to the Western Fortress.

The western barrier line of defense was uprooted by the monster army.

The day of breaking down.

Ren Ping, the master of swordsmanship in Xiguan, died in battle in the Western Regions.

Ren Pingsheng, who was almost recognized as the No. 1 swordsman in the Northern Wei Dynasty, stopped Liang Liang, the Xi Yao, who was on a rampage.

He successfully held back the No.1 of the Western Regions.

Otherwise, the [-] troops in Xiguan might be completely wiped out, leaving no one alive.

The West Barrier was breached, and the Misty Slope of Xiguan officially bowed to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The 30 troops dispatched from the Luoyang Palace were stationed at the defense line.

same day.

Fengsui announced to abandon the city.

Wolong and Fengchu, the two figures who were destined to become dazzling new stars in the north and the south, both encountered great setbacks on this day.

After announcing the abandonment of the city
Qi Shu, who was standing at the head of Fengsui City, was wrapped in a thick jacket.

The beast horde in Fengsui had already stopped the harassing momentum of small groups, and was preparing to assemble a large army for the final general attack.

At this moment, Fengsui City has been evacuated.

The world is freezing.

Somewhat bleak.

The Great Wall of Beacon, just give it up if you say it.

Qi Shu pursed his lips, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

"Abandon it and give it up, there is nothing to regret."

Standing beside him, Yi Xiao's face was still calm, and he comforted him in a gentle voice: "Beacon has been abandoned, and the North Gusu Road can buffer it. The 20 beast tide of the monster clan is nothing to Qi Liang. It’s not a muscle injury.”

Qi Shu didn't speak.

What Xiao Chongding said was not bad.

Up to now, Fengsui has not suffered any traumatic blows.

And the design of the Great Wall of Beacons is to prevent the situation like today, which makes it hard to get off the tiger.

Give up and give up.

This is the first piece of meat eaten by the Western Regions. After eating it, they will find that this piece of meat is not tasty, and it will actually break their teeth.

"What are you still thinking about, sir?"

"Your Highness, I'm thinking."

Qi Shu slightly opened his lips and said: "These days, Fengsui has played enough with the chess palace."

"They sent [-] beasts to attack the city, and Fengsui used [-] to hedge against it. On this snowy plain, before the Great Wall of Fengsui, Qi Liang's heavy cavalry faced the monster race. In terms of just a frontal confrontation, it is basically No advantage. I have hoped countless times that the chess palace will launch a general attack this morning. They should also know that no matter how procrastinated, a desperate battle will be inevitable in the end, and they harass again and again. On the surface, they want to put on a "fair fight", In fact, I want to wait for Qi Liang to gather a few troops in the northern realm, and then swallow enough flesh and blood in one go."

"Now I figure it out."

Qi Shu smiled desolately: "Fengsui accompanied the chess palace to play, and secretly transferred the troops from the North Gusu Road. In the end, they went to the city and gave up the Fengsui. To Qigong, it was just a talk A must-have piece of meat."

Qi Shu suddenly clutched the [-] urgent information in his hand.

He squeezed the yellow paper into countless folds.

"Break the base."

The news that the western barrier had been breached had reached him.

Qi Shu shook his head, and said softly: "Jiang Qingyi's life and death are uncertain now, but the news of Ren Pingsheng's death has been confirmed."

His Highness looked complicated, and said: "Xi Yao is not in Fengsui Chitu, nor is she in Chess Palace. We should have guessed her a long time ago. In fact, she went to the border of Xiguan. With her cultivation base, if she wants to intercept and kill a person in a big victory, It's too simple. Ren Pingsheng is dead, I'm afraid Jiang Qingyi"

Qi Shu waved his sleeves, let go of the yellow paper that was so crumpled by himself that it was almost impossible to restore it, the strong wind at the top of the beacon tower blew up and blew the old yellow paper into the distance.

"Jiang Qingyi is not dead."

The eyes of the young "Wolong" were a little gloomy, and he said sadly: "If he died, the Northern Wei Dynasty would not hide this news. Jiang Qingyi's death can make Xiguan soldiers fight desperately. There is no need to hide it. .”

"What worries me is that he is not dead."

Qi Shu rested his hands on the top of the wall, and murmured, "His previous journey was very smooth. But this blow is really too great."

His Royal Highness understands.

"Sir, you are worried about the phoenix chicks of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Since then, they have been unable to recover?"

After hearing the words, Qi Shu nodded slowly, then shook his head again.

"People live, but for a thought."

"Ren Ping is dead, if Jiang Qingyi is still alive, it means he has no thoughts."

Qi Shu lowered his brows and eyes, exerted a slight force on his hands pressing on the top of the wall, and the ancient snow layer under his palms burst into an overwhelmed cracking sound.

"With such a big blow, anyone in this world will fall into the lowest point."

"But what I'm worried about isn't that Jiang Qingyi will be completely devastated from now on."

Qi Shu took a deep breath.

"What I'm worried about is that after he gets out of this trough, he will become a completely crazy person."

"If he can get out of this shadow, he will definitely launch the most vicious revenge against Daxia in the Western Regions."

"Ten times a hundred times, a thousand times blood compensation."

"That's what I'm worried about."

Qi Shu raised his head and looked towards the sky.

"I've always wanted to have a game with him."

Mr. Qi Shu said with a trembling voice, "He and I are actually very similar people. We are in the north and the south, one person and one master, the wind blows in the slightest, and it is only because of His Majesty's appreciation that we can gain power. The one in Lingcheng and Luoyang was promoted with one word, and he suffered slowly, and finally got his current position."

"If it weren't for the Yaozu's north-south split attack, judging from the increasingly anxious situation in the north and the south these years, it is very likely that I would already be fighting him at this time."

"In this world, it is such a blessing to have an admirable opponent."

"But I want to play against Jiang Qingyi, who is majestic, neither humble nor overbearing, and has a mixture of odd and positive."

"It's not Jiang Qingyi who is completely crazy, who is determined to win, and does whatever it takes."

The scholar wrapped in a thick jacket murmured, "Qi Shu has a wish."

"May Jiang Qingyi still be Jiang Qingyi when he plays chess with Qi Shu."

The western barrier was broken.

Almost all of the [-]-six-character battalion in Xiguan was folded outside the border of Xiguan.

The white-robed feudal lord of Xiguan.

There are a total of eighty-six characters.

Half died.

That Qingjia Confucian general who was so popular in the temples of the Northern Wei Dynasty, no one knows where he is now.

He took [-] cavalry out of the Guanxi Expedition.

Only four thousand were left and fled.

Immediately afterwards, during the years when the white-robed vassal king was in charge, the Western Barrier, which had not been shaken by the monsters, was broken by the Western Regions in the hands of Jiang Qingyi.

After breaking the base, Xiguan's defense line began to tighten.

Within a day, in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, countless letters of remonstrance scolding Jiang Qingyi were submitted.

A speech officer who is not afraid of death likes to do this kind of "beating the dog in the water" thing.

Someone scolded Jiang Qingyi for being young and frivolous, not knowing how to advance or retreat, causing [-] souls from Xiguan to return to the Western Regions, and their bones were so cold that they were not allowed to return home.

Someone scolded Jiang Qingyi for doing a lot of harm. As the chief culprit, he made a big mistake, causing the brothers of the Sixteen Characters Camp to die in the beast tide of the Western Regions, and they still have the face to come back alive.

Cao Zhixuan sat on the throne.

He looked at his hall with great interest, everyone was so excited, he wanted to dig up Jiang Qingyi's ancestors' graves to vent his hatred for officials and officials.

The Cao family man just found it interesting.

In the temples of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in the four Guan Gorges, those who have come into contact with the core circle of power have remained silent.

Jiang Qingyi fought the biggest defeat since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

These officials will naturally scold.

Of course you have to scold.

If you don't scold, you will be dereliction of duty.

It's just that these people who jumped out now, sighed and spit, were not like this one year ago.

A large part of the credit for Jiang Qingyi's rise to power is due to the vigorous praise of these officials back then.

Every time Xiguan wins a battle, countless manuscripts that have been prepared will flow out from the court meeting in the imperial capital of Luoyang.

Success as well as failure.

One thing that Cao Zhixuan finds interesting is that these officials cursed and scolded, but they didn't mention a very important thing.

Jiang Qingyi is a representative of the children of the poor family in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

His rise did not have a deep accumulation in the officialdom, nor did he have the power to wrestle behind him.

Because behind him is the thickest and largest thigh in the whole Northern Wei Dynasty.

It is Your Majesty.

So none of the speakers present mentioned the most important point.

Your Majesty is not good at employing people.

Cao Zhixuan listened patiently to the counselors' advice one by one.

Then retreat.

He knew that the Luoyang court meeting would be like this in the next few days.

The scolding and demoting of Jiang Qingyi will not stop with time.

Cao Zhixuan was not in a hurry.

He is waiting.

The third day after leaving Xiguan.

Guo Youzhi and Dong Yun leaned against the bonfire in the carriage to keep warm.

The two looked worriedly at the man beside the carriage, away from the fire.

The green armor is worn out.

Jiang Qingyi was leaning against the tree by himself, unkempt, looking like a wild dog, but fortunately, he was extremely quiet.

After arriving at the West Barrier City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Qingyi went to Ren Pingsheng's mansion, and then took a wooden sword and rushed out of the city like crazy. body, several Xiguan big men did not hold back.

Until that shot.

Guo Youzhi silently looked at the black-robed woman who was leaning her hands on the campfire.

Yan Xiaoqi's complexion was pale without a trace of blood.

She stared straight at the fire with a dull expression, breathing lightly in a natural stupor, blowing on the bonfire one after another.

Guo Youzhi felt that Yan Xiaoqi was more beautiful than the former big oiran in Luoyang who was still his immediate boss.

That kind of beauty that is not close to human fireworks, so cold that it makes people feel a little suffocating.

Yan Xiaoqi rarely walks around alone.

Sitting next to this woman who was too beautiful to look directly at, the purple-robed master said calmly, "I'll be in Luoyang soon. The two of you are ready to take over Misty Slope's official position. If there are no accidents, it should be The official positions that Piaomiaopo mentioned are only about the size of the official hat, and they can be ranked among the top ten in Xiguan, but one left and one right supervise each other."

Guo Youzhi and Dong Yun were extremely surprised and raised their heads in shock.

Xuan Shangyu didn't look up, but raised his eyelids slightly: "Why, don't you want to?"

The bonfire sputtered and sputtered.

This is an opportunity that many people dream of.

The two shook their heads desperately.

It's been a long time.

Guo Youzhi noticed the man in green armor leaning decadently by the tree not far away, and patted Dong Yun on the shoulder, signaling with his eyes.

Dong Yun understood, and asked cautiously: "Then what should Mr. Jiang do when we go to Luoyang?"

Xuanshang Yufeng said calmly: "Maybe he will die. Maybe he will go to jail. Maybe nothing will happen."

The Great Master in Zipao was not afraid of Jiang Qingyi hearing these words.

"That's up to him."

Jiang Qingyi, who was leaning against the tree, ignored it.

His eyes were bloodshot.

His hands were bloody.

He kept rubbing the wooden sword in his embrace.

again and again.

Along the way, I don't know how many times I rubbed it.

The western barrier has been broken.

The city lord's mansion has collapsed.

Ren Pingsheng is dead.

Jiuhen and Fengchu were both buried at the border of the Western Regions.

The only thing he left in this world was this wooden sword.

A faint line of words was engraved on it with sword energy.

Ren Pingsheng originally planned to take care of the sword temperature after returning to the mansion every day, and wait for the day when Jiang Qingyi was conferred the title of Xiguan Feudal King, and then gave away the wooden sword.

He prepared a sentence.

Give it to Jiang Qingyi.

"I only wish you peace in my life."

Just seven words.

Now it seems that every word punishes the heart.
