The initiator of the troubles in the land of Chu and Qin: Luo Zi, and one of the two most promising genius foundation-building monks of the Luo family who followed her: Luo Youwu, was simply killed by Gu Rong, and then treated like a dead man Like dogs, he casually threw the two bodies into the shuttle and returned them to Qi Xiu. "That's okay" Qi Xiuxin said that Gu Rong's skills in this area are indeed good enough. If he sends the living people back, he will have to worry about how to deal with the two of them. After all, the Luo family's mortal population in Chu and Qin is Many of them, including Luo Xinwu, Luo Youwu's twin brother, and some low-level monks remained inside the gate. In the battles of Pajijian and Shandu, they were all loyal and fought bravely. Maybe this is a tacit understanding, after all, Gu Rong and I have been close friends for many years. "Call Luo Xinwu, let him take one last look at these two rebellious people, and then" Qi Xiu said to Yao Qingming: "Let's just crush the bones and spread the ashes." According to the usual practice, after the monks of the Chu Qin Clan die, they are usually sent back to the top of Heihe Peak. It was impossible for Qi Xiu to give the traitor this kind of treatment, and he didn't even want to give it to the Luo family to pursue his memory. "In public?" Yao Qing asked. "No need" Qi Xiu replied. Although the reason for the incalculable casualties of San Chu and Chu Qin was ultimately the fierce battle with the Four Elements Alliance and the Baishan Sword Sect, Luo Zi, Qin Guangyao and others colluded with foreign enemies such as the Pei family and the Nangong family to personally attack the land of Chu and Qin. It would be hypocritical to say that the crimes of many mountain gates in the south do not make people gnash their teeth with hatred, especially the only descendants of monks left by Mo Jianxin and Luo Xiaoxiao. They used them to deceive the Chu Qin Mountain Gate and killed them mercilessly It¡¯s just that Now, Qi Xiu's emotions no longer fluctuated violently, and his joy and anger were no longer expressive. He glanced at the bodies of Luo Zi and Luo Youwu indifferently. They were probably shocked by the attack of the Jindan monk without any precautions. The death was instantaneous by severing the heart pulse, and the death was painless. The body had not even cooled down, and the remains were peaceful, as if they were sleeping soundly. This was a bit advantageous for them. Qi Xiu curled his lips slightly, and used his gift of seeing humanity to brush off Luo Xinwu, who was called over by Yao Qing. He stared blankly at the corpses of his two relatives, with extremely complicated emotions, and then turned his main energy to Luo Xinwu. Back to Yao Kaizhi who was reporting in a low voice. "Gu Rong still refused to leave Qifu City. He secretly asked me to tell him that Qin Guangyao, Luo Qishen and other Chu and Qin traitors are now in Bomu City to help the Lingmu Alliance defend the city. This just gave me the opportunity for the Chu and Qin armies to move south and unite. Qingdanmen has an excellent excuse to attack Bomu City, and he will also cooperate" Yao Kaizhi brought Gu Rong's latest asking price, "If Lingmu does not hand over Bomu City, he will lead the Lihuo Alliance. He turned to our alliance of Chu Qin, He Huan, Qing Dan, and Huan Jian as a threat. He said: I believe that the Lingmu Alliance will compromise. Otherwise, if Lihuo joins us, Lingmu, Ruijin, Houtu, and Baishan Sword will be threatened. The faction will definitely lose. If the negotiation between us and him breaks down, he will drag us to the bitter end to fight to the end, or we will die together. " "Fight to the end haha" Qi Xiu disdains that Gu Rong is still so good at doing business. He sneered and asked, "What's Gu Tan's opinion?" "Uncle Gu thinks" Yao Kaizhi was about to answer, but Qi Xiu raised his hand to stop him, "Forget it, you and Yao Qing go back to Bihu Palace. Later, I told Gu Rong to release Gu Tan immediately and come back to discuss the matter with me. " "Yes," Yao Kaizhi saluted and accepted the order. "Uncle Master Master" At this time, Luo Xinwu wiped his face, determined not to care about the bodies of Luo Zi and Luo Youwu on the ground, and came over to bow and bow. "Have you been certified?" Qi Xiu asked coldly. "It's them, they can't be wrong" Luo Xinwu touched his forehead to the ground again, and replied in a trembling voice, "I just ask" Qi Xiu knew that he was deeply resentful of Luo Zi, who encouraged the Luo family to rebel and led to today's disaster. However, he still had great affection for his twin brother Luo Youwu who had been inseparable since childhood, so he didn't let his begging words come out and gave Yao Qing a wink. Yao Qing understood, sighed, raised his hand and used a fire spell to burn the two corpses on the spot. "What happened again!?" In Qifu City, Gu Rong in the city lord's palace was not as tough as he showed when negotiating with Chu Qin. Ever since he escaped all the way back to his lair, he has been in fear all day long and can be frightened by any disturbance. In the midst of great panic. No, as soon as a few plumes of black smoke rose in the city, he flew to the door of the main hall, looked around and cursed. "It's some relatives of the fallen disciples who are venting their dissatisfaction." the cronies in charge of law enforcement reported back. "Then why don't you hurry up and suppress it!" Gu Rong felt relieved and sent his cronies to work. In the battle of Shandu, the Lihuo League lost miserably. Except for those who died in the battle, Sanchu and Chuqin pursued the fleeing Lihuo League monks from Lang Ji's high command even more cruelly and resolutely. At the beginning, a large formation of ten thousand people set off with great vigor.?Currently, less than one-tenth of the people have escaped back to Qifu City. Including those who fled into the old camp of Shandu and those who were still scattered and escaped before returning, the total number is estimated to be less than 5,000. The situation of Gu Rong's own unit is slightly better, but those rabble-rousers are more thoughtful and are willing to return to Qifu City or the old camp in Shandu to continue to follow the Lihuo Alliance. The total number is less than 3,500. Yes, at this time, the outside world always thought that there were still nearly ten thousand defeated troops gathered in the old camp of Shandu, but the real number was only seven thousand at most. At this time, the outside world always thought that the number of defeated troops in Qifu City plus the monks recruited after the war exceeded five thousand, but in fact In the past, Gu Rong knew that the real number was only 3,207, but he did a good job of blocking the news In other words, after the battle in Shandu, more than half of the more than 20,000 troops in hand were lost. In the end, this The remaining available strength of just over 10,000 includes a large number of guest monks, as well as new blood who were urgently recruited semi-forced and semi-high-priced in Qifu City after the war, and there are also many wounded among them This weapon Almost every household in the Lihuo cultivator family in Fu City did not have someone who died or was injured, disappeared or was captured after the battle in Shandu. In the past three months, there was not a day without making trouble and crying ¡ This alliance leader and this family have been extremely difficult for Gu Rong. He is most fortunate now that he restrained Lang Jigao who took the blame in time. The Shandu old camp, under the command of Jin Danmei Susu, a guest of the Houtu League, has exceeded expectations. The army fought very well, and Shengsheng persisted for three months under the fierce attack of the Sanchu and Chu-Qin coalition forces. On the one hand, this allowed the alliance to retain a large part of its effective strength. On the other hand, it also frightened the person he was most afraid of at the moment: Mr. Li Huo. Zu Ye regretted more and more that he had listened to Lang Jigao's opinion and agreed to let the army leave the old camp of Shandu to actively engage the Sanchu and Chu-Qin coalition forces, instead of sticking to the old camp of Shandu as he wanted. After learning the true attitude of his ancestor, Lang Jigao himself is now willing to take the overall situation into consideration and take the blame. Anyway, his deadline is not far away, and he is a man who is devoted to the public. For the sake of the future survival and stability of the Lihuo Alliance, he will put his personal life on the line. Honor and disgrace are disregarded. The return of his cousin, Jindan Gu Tiesheng, and the addition of Mu Jindan, who was recruited into the Ancient Sword Sect before the war, coupled with the number and strength of Lang Jigao's Lihuo elites and the monks who followed him after the war. Changes, as long as Lang Jigao and the high-level monks of Lang Jigao's line do not turn against each other, he who led the Lihuo Alliance to a great defeat and took the lead in the rout will now have stronger status and authority than before the war But this cannot stop the people in the city. The low-level monks did not make a fuss and did not want to ask for an explanation for such a disastrous defeat. It¡¯s not the main trouble right now. "Leader!" At this time, the leader of the Gujian Sect, who was responsible for the secret negotiations with Gu Tan and others in Bihu Palace, rushed back. "What do you say!?" Gu Rong asked eagerly. "Yao Kaizhi is back. Qi Xiu has received the bodies of Luo Zi and Luo Youwu" "Oh, let's get to the point!" Gu Rong stopped the master of the Gu Jian Sect from reporting these irrelevant words, and he chose to kill him at this time. In fact, Luo Zi and Luo Youwu were not entirely trying to facilitate negotiations to sell Qi Xiu, but mainly to keep the secret that he had asked Luo Zi about the whereabouts of the red spike treasure in Yan Guimen's hand. When he, Yan Nanxing, Qi Xiu and others entered the Awakening Lion Valley, he and Yan Nanxing's two groups left the team to hunt for treasures. They unexpectedly found a treasure that seemed to be a tantric heel. After the price is taken, it naturally enters the stage where you pick one and I pick one according to the old rules, and everyone divides the treasure based on their eyesight. He first chose a treasure he liked, the red spike, and let Yan Nanxing choose it as his second choice. At that time, he thought he had a slightly better vision, and was quite flattered by the old fox Yan Nanxing's pretense of loss and false compliments, but when he came back After some research and reflection, I realized that I had greatly underestimated the value of the red spike, and I regretted it very much. ?? Later, Luo Zi, who married into the Yan family from Chu Qin, betrayed two families and joined Lihuo. He recalled the regrets of the past and became greedy again. He took the opportunity to ask Luo Zi about the whereabouts of the red spike. Anyway, Yan Nanxing failed to conceive a baby in Baishan. Maybe the descendants of the Yan family don't know the value of the spike, and maybe they can pay some price to trade it with the current head of the family, Yan Muyun. However, Luo Zi, who has been in charge of the general affairs of Yangui Sect for many years, has never seen it and is completely unaware of the existence of that long nail. In other words, Yangui Sect attaches great importance to the red long nail, so it must be the master of the sect, Yan Muyun, who is in charge of it personally. With. The possibility of picking up the leaks is gone. Yan has just returned to the sect and is the second generation head of the three generations. The possibility of robbery is also non-existent, but he is still reluctant to give up and hopes to use Qi Qi in this negotiation with Chu and Qin. Xiu's influence over the Yan family brought the red spike into the deal. But he would not foolishly bring up such personal secrets on the Bihu Palace negotiation table. After all, the Jiang family also came to Baishan to fool around. Bihu Palace has Nascent Soul monk Jiang Huan in charge, the first generation of Jiangnan Sect. Neither is the door owner Jiang Mingke.It's not good for them to hear about fuel-efficient lamps. This time when Lihuo fell, the Jiangnan Sect of the Jiang family took the opportunity to recruit many casual cultivators who had fled and did not want to return to Lihuo, and had a feast! Therefore, we can only discuss the matter with Qi Xiu face to face. Then Luo Zi, who knew about it, would naturally have been killed long ago, and Luo Youwu, who had stayed with Luo Zi for a long time, could not give him a life. "Qi Xiu asked us to release Gu Tan immediately!" The leader of the Gujian Sect quickly explained the key points. "Gu Tan is already in Bihu Palace, and his personal safety is guaranteed by the Jiang family. Once the negotiation is completed, whether to let him go or not is not a trivial matter!" Gu Rong didn't want to let him go. Although he sent Gu Tan to Bihu Palace to show his sincerity, However, the role played by the Jiang family is to strictly observe neutrality. They will not let him go unless they agree to release him. Gu Tan is not only Qi Xiu's preferred successor, but also the only golden elixir hostage in his hands. He will be released before the negotiation is reached. Without him, the chips in your hand will be much less. "Report!" At this time, another messenger monk flew over in a panic to report, "HaiHai Chumen's shuttle has arrived in Qinnan City!" "This!?" Gu Rong was shocked when he heard this, and the other party increased his reinforcements. , the unprecedented pressure almost made him breathless. If the negotiations were delayed any longer, he could no longer bear whether Shandu Old Camp or Qifu City were breached. He walked back and forth in the hall several times, and then When he arrived at the door, he glanced in the direction of Gu Tiesheng's cave and waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, forget it, Tiesheng has returned to my Gu Jianmen. He will stop doing the first year of junior high school and I will do the fifteenth. The golden elixir will be exchanged for Jindan, I am not a villain for such trivial matters, Gu Tan just let it go!" "Many Haichu monks have experienced the opening up of the sea. If these more than 3,000 fresh troops are used in Shandu ¡¡± Three days later, Qi Xiu was discussing military plans with Chu Qingyu, Ji Xinliang and others. Since the Chumen army was led by Chu Wen¡¯s wife Miaoqing, the former Nanlin Temple nun was reluctant to join the killing war between humans. So the leader of the army went to Nanchu City to visit his husband first, and Chu Wen is now in a coma This is a bit difficult to handle. Qi Xiu and others can't command the more than 3,000 elite troops of Hai Chu for the time being, so they can only Make a good strategy first to be prepared. "What? Did you come up with some clever plan?" Since he was injured in the battle, and he had some thoughts about the peace talks with Gu Rong, Chu Qingyu has been unhappy recently. Sitting in front of the map with Da Ma Jin Dao, he suddenly noticed Qi Qi The corners of Xio's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile. Qi Xiu shook his head and turned to look outside the tent door. "Senior Brother Head" At the right time, a male Jindan cultivator in green shirt, gentle and elegant, with a slightly tired demeanor appeared at the door. He stood at the door, solemnly raised his hands to everyone inside, bowed and said: "Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Chu, fellow senior brothers" "Hahaha, just come back." Qi Xiu gently stroked his long beard, looked at each other and smiled at Gu Tan who raised his head, then smiled at Chu Qingyu, Ji Xinliang and others: "That's it. My Junior Brother Gu from the Chu Qin Clan, I have the same name" "What's the point of introducing me? Haha, we all know each other in Waihai." Qi Xiu is the boss of the Waihai, and the Chu and Qin armies are led by Gu most of the time. Commander Tan, Ji Xinliang didn't even need to introduce him, he laughed loudly, then waved to Gu Tan and joked, "Gu Tan, please come and help me wait for the elm head to check the details." "Yes." Gu Tan bowed again, Enter calmly. He first stood next to Qi Xiu and listened. The two of them did not secretly communicate with each other to reminisce about the past or express concern. After a while, he naturally picked up the conversation and participated in the discussion. His composure seems to be even higher than before he was ensnared.
