The Sacred Ding

Chen Hai, Qi Hanjiang, and Du Linan drove back to Lukaixia, and Ge Xingqiao was already waiting in Lukaixia.

“I have seen Ge Old Ancestor…” Du Linan didn’t expect Ancestral Hall, the first Elder Ge Xuanqiao, unexpectedly waiting for them directly at Lukaixia. Ge Xuanqiao is Du Linan’s Sect Founder in the sect. He was at this time Respectfully step forward and salute.

The matter of Ge Xuanqiao sitting in Black Mountain at this time, Taiweizong will not disclose it to the public, but Du Linan also knows about it, but I don’t know why Ge Xuan’s Old Qiao Zu suddenly rushed to Lucheng. , And happened to be waiting for them in Lukaixia.

After Dong Ning’s soul energy breath is also refined into the snake bracelet, no matter if it is ten thousand li away, Chen Hai only needs to pull Dong Ning’s mind and mind into the blood cloud wasteland, and he can directly Communication, communication is so efficient and accurate, I don’t know how much higher it is than psychic communication.

Of course, if Dong Ning is not with Chen Hai, the Divine Soul idea of ​​the two people must enter the blood cloud wasteland at the same time, and Dong Ning people need to be in Black Mountain-the entrance of the blood cloud wasteland. Actually in Black Mountain, Chen Hai’s Divine Soul idea also entered the blood cloud wasteland through Black Mountain, but the snake bracelet broke the limitation of space distance.

Not only did Ge Xuanqiao rush to Lukaixia to meet Chen Hai directly, after the merger of the Jingjue Army and the Royal Family Army, 25,000 soldiers and horses have also moved from Black Mountain and crossed the vast sea of ​​sand. , Come directly from Lucheng.

Chen Hai told Ge Xuanqiao about the ambush in the Monster God Temple in the deep mountains south of Lukaixia.

“I haven’t seen Miao Mingcheng for many years. I went to Lucheng to see him this time. He probably had the mind to devour me…” Ge Xuanqiao thought about the Western Expedition 20 years ago. Emotion.

Although Ge Xuanqiao strongly opposed the Tiger’s West Expedition 20 years ago, he was really insignificant and could not violate the Taiweizong’s overall will; at that time even the Taiweizong and Dong clan opposed the West Expropriation, but also can not go against the strong will of the master of Yanzhou Ying to expand the territory.

Of course, Ge Xuanqiao also knew well that the blood feud he had forged back then could not be solved easily.

Before the Western Expedition, the number of people in the Pinglu Oasis exceeded 10 million, and once fell sharply to less than 3,000,000. Over 60% of the city of Pinglu was destroyed. In the past 20 years after the war, It was rebuilt to more than 40 cities.

This is just the loss of the Pinglu Oasis. At that time, the real decisive battle took place in the Tahe Oasis where Tibet and Qiang were located.

Monster God Palace was once a sect that was several times more powerful than Taiweizong, elite disciple and Spirit Beast, which had been nurtured for thousands of years, almost lost everything. Miao Mingcheng’s Master, Martial Uncle and Ten Several senior and junior brothers of the same generation and nearly tens of thousands of disciplines of grand disciples were all lost in that battle.

“What, Ge Old Ancestor is going to see Miao Mingcheng in Lucheng?” Du Linan asked in shock.

Du Linan presides over the Taiwei Club, and is considered a stand-alone figure in sect, but why does Chen Hai say that this is the basis for Du Linan’s not being taken seriously in the Du family?

This is because of blood feud 20 years ago. Taiwei sect several principals who went to Lucheng and Xiqiang City Halls, and they were all assassinated.

The only thing that Taiweizong left in the Pinglu Oasis was hatred. Even if the Ye clan deliberately had a friendship with Dong and Taiweizong, every time he made an assassination, it was nothing; Taiwei The toughness of Zong and Dong is simply useless in Pinglu Oasis.

Clearly knowing that Miao Mingcheng has the mind to devour them, the manpower they deploy in Lucheng is far less than the Monster God Hall. Once Miao Mingcheng is in trouble, the problem will be troublesome.

“I won’t show up, how can I convince the dísciple of Monster God Hall to withdraw from Pinglu?” Ge Xuanqiao said, waving his sleeves.

Monster God Hall has hundreds of elite disciple ambush in the deep mountains before Lukai Gorge. If there is no whereabouts are found, it is definitely a wonderful strategy beyond everyone’s imagination in Hexi.

Hexi, if a number of pre-West Qiang civil strife, it is unrealistic to draw tens of thousands of troops from Tieliuling westward in a short time.

The 134,000 li road from Tieliuling to Lucheng is a vast sea of ​​sand. Even if there are nearly a hundred large and small oases that can be used as a springboard, tens of thousands of soldiers will enter a ten thousand li. How to solve the forage of or so?

Hexi did not have long-term and sufficient preparations. Suddenly he wanted to intervene in the civil strife in Xiqiang. The most blunt method was to dispatch one to twenty thousand of the most elite Taoist soldiers. After a surprise attack on Lucheng, after converging the Ye clan’s remnants of soldiers and horses, and then defeating the rebels, they controlled the entire Pinglu Oasis.

Hundreds of elite disciples in the Monster God Hall are lying in the deep mountains before Lukai Gorge. They are traps for Hexi’s surprise attack strategy. They want to swallow one or two of Hexi’s most elite in Lucheng. Wan Dao Yabing made Hexi have unspeakable bitter suffering.

The Daoya soldiers are the most elite soldiers in Hexi, but in Hexi, the total number of Daoya soldiers is less than 40,000. If one loses 1/4 or even half of the elite at once, it will be a painful and unforgiving trauma to Taiweizong, Dong and Hexi.

At this time, Hexi fought with the Hexiang army in the south, and the Musashi army had misconceptions. The monsters in the north began to stir. After Hexi suffered such a heavy blow, there will be no Send troops westward to avenge the ability of Monster God Hall.

Only by achieving such an effect, the Monster God Hall can be called a big victory.

However, the ambush of the Monster God Hall in the south of Lukaixia has been exposed, and there is no possibility of a sneak attack in Lucheng. Hexi Dao soldiers are elite. They have chosen to meet in Lucheng and start a battle with Hexi. Could it be the bloody battle of both sides suffer?

After being reminded by Chen Hai, Du Linan swept away his frustration and thought that this might be extremely low.

20 years ago, during the Western Expedition, the Monster God Hall was so badly damaged that it is far from recovering, and it simply cannot bear too much casualties in a short time.

Otherwise, the Monster God Hall can just and honorable interfere with the political affairs of the Western Qiang Kingdom, and even directly prevent the Royal Family of the Western Qiang Kingdom from the Ye clan and the Hexi Dong clan, instead of pretending to be the horse thief Kong Peng. Team up with Zhang Clan, Tianaishan, to subvert Ye’s family.

In this situation, the Monster God Temple, which has not yet recovered its vitality, how dare to take one third elite battle strength to start a battle with Taiweizong on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis?

You must know that the Taiweizong at this time, even if it was constrained by the Musashi Army and the Hexiang Army, even if only 10,000 elite troops were drawn westward, even if they finally lay in Lucheng with the Monster God Temple. The outer elite disciple fights both sides suffer.

Such both sides suffer, Taiweizong may only need 3-5 years to recover; and Monster God Hall may need 20-30 years to recover, but it is not possible to recover Peak time strength , It becomes even more elusive…

So after confirming the traces of the ambushes in the Monster God Temple, Chen Hai’s strategy is very simple, which is to directly find the Monster God Temple Elder lurking in Deer City. Monster God Hall Head Disciple Su Chonghu showdown, forcing Monster God Hall to withdraw from the civil war in West Qiang.

Monster God Palace does not retreat, and Hexi can only be forced to send troops to Ping Lu Oasis response, then the two sides will be in Lucheng or elsewhere in the West Qiang country.

Hexi did not send troops directly before, because he did not want to be involved in a larger-scale war, but the Monster God Palace has directly sent hundreds of elite disciples, and Hexi’s response is impossible and weak.

Therefore, Du Linan believed that after the conspiracy was exposed, the Monster God Temple might still retreat, but he did not expect that Ge Old Ancestor would personally enter the city of Deer on this trip to find the Monster God Temple Elder Miao Ming for a showdown.

In case something goes wrong, Ge Old Ancestor falls in Lucheng, Du Linan really has no way to explain to Sect.

Du Linan hopes that Chen Hai will persuade Ge Old Ancestor to act cautiously, but he looks at Chen Hai, and Chen Hai frowns and looks into the distance. There is no intention to persuade Ge Old Ancestor at all. Du Linan is faintly sighed in his heart, thinking Chen Hai He can’t persuade him to make a decision with Ge Old Ancestor.

Soon more than a hundred riders came towards this side, headed by a 60-year-old azure robe sword repairman, carrying a black giant sword behind him, the whole person revealed a sharp edge.

This person is Zhao Jin, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family in Lucheng, the cultivation base of the late Ming Aperture Stage.

In addition to Zhao Jin, the Zhao family in Lucheng also owns a Mingqiao powerhouse that is less than 30 years old. It is a well-known figure in the younger generation of Jinzhou Eastern Region. The status of Lu Da Oasis is quite important.

The Zhao family has two powerhouses in the Aperture Realm, and there is no way to control the power of Lucheng alone.

Zhao Jin and more than a hundred of Zhao’s children behind them stopped their horses on the stone hill with more than a thousand steps. They did not continue to move forward, but they did not suspect that Lu Kaixia was hiding another soldier, Zhao Jin. His eyes rolled on Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao’s faces. He did not recognize Ge Xuanqiao, but he could feel Ge Xuanqiao’s deep and unmeasurable cultivation base after more than a thousand steps.

Zhao Jin hesitated for a while before leaving more than a hundred children behind him to stay in place, and he rode towards Shitan on his own.

“Although the Zhao family is not a big family, there are still two bones, and they will never take refuge in foreign thieves,” Zhao Jin said loudly, “I am here to advise you not to waste your time. , Don’t worry about Lucheng. Even if you detain me now, it won’t do anything!”

“Taiweizong has no intention of intervening in Lucheng, let alone directly involved “The old Qiao ancestor Ge Xuan and I were both guest official invited by the Ye clan for the Western Qiang country’s rebellion,” Chen Hai said. “But whether Lucheng and Zhao can stay out of the matter, Sect Master Zhao can send someone there. In the deep gorge six hundred miles away in the southwest, take a look at the number of ambushes hidden in the Monster God Temple, and then consider choosing between Zhang Clan rebels and Ye’s Royal Family!”

Lucheng Nong Animal husbandry and handicraft industries are quite developed, with a population of nearly 300,000. Farming, pasture and handicraft workshops all account for one third of the labor force. In addition, there are considerable caravans.

However, for the five surnames of Lucheng, the distribution of clan industry among agriculture, animal husbandry, handicraft, and commerce is not absolutely balanced.

The Zhao clan, a very heavy craftsmanship, the core industries are several large-scale workshops and caravans in the city.

Once the business is cut off, the losses of the other four surnames are not so great, but the foundation of the Zhao family will be shaken off immediately.

So between the Zhou family and the Zhao family, Chen Hai finally chose to meet Zhao Jin, the head of the Zhao family, not because he had much confidence in Zhao Jin, and he knew the roots of the Zhao family.

Chen Hai did not believe that the Zhao family was really willing to see Lucheng’s status weakened after being controlled by the Monster God Temple, and it became an insignificant border town like Xuanfeng City in the Western Qiang Kingdom.
