Chapter 316: Good Son-in-Law (asking for monthly ticket)

Changsun Wuchou was looking at the nobleman in front of him who had a very Western style. He had a rather large body and a broad waist, which was encircled by a palm-wide belt inlaid with jade. His clothes were decorated with brightly colored prismatic patterns.

He came to the town and took out the title deed, but was met with resistance.

“It’s just a piece of paper.”

"What? That little bitch from the Central Plains bought this place, but I don't plan to give it to you. What do you think? You Central Plains people are tens of thousands of miles away from us. How come you still plan to use the laws of the Central Plains in the Western Regions?"

"With your appearance, you also want to take over this place under me?"

The fat old man had a name in the Central Plains, Xiao Dayin. At this moment, he looked at Zhangsun Wuchou and waved his hand. Two or three burly men came over, all of them skilled in martial arts.

It seems that he was traumatized by being subdued by Xue Shuangtao last year.

Changsun Wuchou estimated that he had the fourth level of internal strength, and was good at riding a horse and shooting with one hand and wielding a spear and lance with the other. He was considered one of the best in the entire Qilin Army. However, even if he killed this man at this moment, they might not be able to completely take over this place.

This town is not big, but there are still thousands of garrison troops.

I don’t know if there are any other means.

Zhang Sun Wuchou was very careful and was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not reveal his martial arts. He just pretended to be so angry that his face turned pale. He stood up, grabbed the deed, and turned to leave. Xiao Dayin laughed and said:
"Go back and tell your master that if he wants this town, then ask him to come here in person. But if he comes here in person, it means that I will turn him down. If he really wants to ask for the place,

"Send the young lady from the Xue family here. I'm not afraid to consider it."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"get out!"

Although Changsun Wuchou was only in his thirties, he was calm and intelligent. He no longer had that violent temper and was more cunning and alert. Although he pretended to be angry, he managed to get a clear idea of ​​the troop deployment in this place along the way.

As soon as he got out of the city, he rode his horse and came all the way to Li Guanyi. He told him everything that had just happened and said, "The city-states in the Western Regions are fighting each other. Tuyuhun was destroyed, and the Dangxiang State failed to maintain order. As a result, the rules here are lax. It's worse than when I was here."

"At that time, Tuyuhun still had the royal seal in hand."

"Although the Tuyuhun cavalry is not as well-equipped as the three top-level cavalry of Yechi, Human, and Tiefutu, they can still be considered a first-line team. The king's orders can still be transmitted to all directions. Unlike now, the Western Regions seem to be in a complete chaos."

Changsun Wuchou said:
"Because this matter involves so many serious consequences, I dare not make a decision. I will come out and inform you immediately."

Lei Laomeng grinned: "The forces and nobles in the Western Regions are too rude."

Batur barely understood and said, "It has been like this for the past two years. The former Tuyuhun king is still around. Although there are often various strange orders, everyone at least abides by Tuyuhun's laws."

“The law isn’t very good, though.”

"But at least it's better than it is now."

Fan Qing was silent, staring at the terrain map that had just been drawn.

Li Guanyi was also thinking.

The town must be taken.

Only with the protection of the city can they fight against the large number of rangers that are already within a hundred miles behind them. Otherwise, even if Li Guanyi and his men can win, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

"But the same is true for siege warfare..."

Siege is definitely the most brutal battlefield.

Among these people, only about two thousand are young and strong with combat capabilities, and most of them are rangers. Their personal bravery is only at the level of a third-line corps in the Central Plains. It is not an easy task to lead a group of people to capture this town.

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Mr. Shi?"

Shi Dalin said: "Yes."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Give me the powder you just prepared. Forget it. Just prepare another batch of Cartilage Powder and Ma Fei Powder. It would be better if you add some laxatives. Aphrodisiacs and the like are not necessary."

Although Shi Dalin didn't understand, he still handed the thing to Li Guanyi. It was a rather large porcelain bottle. Li Guanyi tossed it in his hand and put it on his waist. Fan Qing said, "My lord, you want to..."

Li Guanyi stood on this high place, looking at the town opposite, and raised his eyebrows:

"If you can't attack with force, you can only defeat them with wits."

"It's a pity that Mr. Wen He is not here, otherwise he would have come up with a brilliant plan."

"I can only use my own method."

"The scouts of that army are still fifty miles away. With the speed at which the army is moving, they will stay outside a certain range to recover their energy to ensure their condition for the surprise attack. At this stage, Fan Qing."

Fan Qing said: "I am here."

Li Guanyi said: "You lead 500 people and patrol outside."

"Another thousand people will protect our formation. Gongsun, Wanxiu, the two of you will use the carts, cattle and sheep as the periphery to build a basic formation defense line here. Lei Laomeng will serve as a scout as usual."

Gongsun Huaizhi, Pan Wanxiu, and Lei Laomeng received the order.

Fan Qing said, "My Lord, what about you?"

Li Guanyi looked at the town and asked, "Me?"

He tossed the porcelain bottle in his hand and said with a smile, "Go and take this city yourself."

"Didn't he want me to go? Then why didn't I fulfill his wish?"

Changsun Wuchou knew that it was the lord of this town, Xiao Dayin, who had angered Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi ordered the entire tribe to prepare for defense, and he went to the city in person. Although the rammed earth wall was only ten feet high, there were some guards with bows standing on it.

Yaoguang also accompanied Li Guanyi.

as usual.

With the help of Yaoguang's magic, Li Guan swaggered into the city. The structure of this town was quite simple and direct, but it also divided functional areas. It was rustic and concise, and had many desirable features.

There were stalls on both sides. Unlike those in the Central Plains, they used wooden sticks and cloth to support a small tent, with a layer of cloth spread inside. The fruits rolled to the side, piled up together, and then sold.

The money used is still the same as that of Tuyuhun.

It’s just that for more than a hundred years, various versions of large and small coins have been mixed together and used.

There were also people selling livestock at the town gates.

It wasn't very lively, and felt a bit dead. The fruits on the ground were covered in dust. The fruit sellers used a knife to cut out the rotten parts and threw them on the ground where they piled up. A large number of tiny bugs emerged, and there was a smell similar to that of fermenting fruit wine, mixed with a foul odor.

When people walked past, insects flew everywhere and a faint smell of alcohol and stench filled their noses.

Even Qilin, who had transformed into a long-haired cat and was lying on Li Guanyi's shoulder, pinched his nose with his two paws and turned to the other side: "Bad fruit."

"Don't eat, don't eat."

Li Guanyi joked, "Hey, there is a fruit you don't want to eat."

This caused the little Qilin to grumble.

Li Guanyi restrained his smile and looked around. There were many desolate places. About a quarter of the entire town was desolate. It could be imagined that this place was no longer the most prosperous, just from various traces.

This place has been expanded over the past year or so.

But where does this place get the money to expand...

Li Guanyi kept judging, thinking: "The young lady said it was a village, but the prosperity of this place is not as good as the prosperous towns in the Central Plains. In the eyes of the young lady, maybe it is really just a village."

At this moment, people on the road in front of the village retreated together, and two foreign monks wearing special costumes came over:
"Amitabha, Amitabha."

"You have sinned in your past lives and are suffering in this life. Donate your merits to eliminate all sins and eliminate all bitter fruits. You will be relieved of worries in this life and blessed in the next life. Amitabha, Amitabha..."

There was a burst of chanting in Sanskrit. The two foreign monks were not the same as those seen before. The one in front was dragging a strange iron basin in his hand and hitting it with a hammer, leaving a lingering sound. The one behind him was holding a box, and the people with numb eyes took out small coins and put them in the iron basin.

"The Demonic Monk..."

Li Guanyi narrowed his eyes.

The two foreign monks were unable to figure out Yaoguang's magic and walked past Li Guanyi and Yaoguang in a swagger. Li Guanyi's heart moved slightly, and he and Yaoguang chased after them. They saw the two men collected a whole iron box of large and small coins and entered the large mansion in the center.

Li Guanyi turned around and saw that the whole road was dead silent.

It seems to be three times more serious than before.

It was like another layer of the people's vitality and blood was cut off.

"The Demon Sect, the common people, the Buddhist sect, the city-state nobles..."

These exist layer by layer, building a layered social ecology.

Li Guanyi seemed to be lost in thought, feeling that he was about to get closer to the truth of the complicated situation in the entire Western Regions. He entered the house with the silver-haired girl. It was obvious that there were no masters from the three secluded sects in this place. It was almost a smooth journey for Li Guanyi and Yaoguang to enter.

Li Guanyi reached out and touched the girl's hair, praising her:
"Well done, Yaoguang."

The silver-haired girl had no expression on her face. After thinking for a moment, she also raised her hand.

Make a fist with your five fingers.

He shook it hard, then looked at Li Guanyi.

"it is good."

Li Guanyi laughed and clenched his fist.

The silver-haired girl thought about it.

He bumped his little fist against Li Guanyi's fist.

The two foreign monks went into a side room of the big house. There were also some foreign monks inside. They talked a lot in a gibberish. Although Li Guanyi did not understand the language, he could hear the meaning clearly because of Yaoguang magic:
"Have you collected most of the things?"

"Yes, this town has been almost drained of its oil."

"That old wolf king fought too hard, and the Tanguts were really beyond help. Our Holy Religion sent many masters, including the Sixth Heaven Incense Master, into the Tangut army and gave them holy medicine. They seemed to be fearless of life and death and only knew how to fight."

"Even so, they were defeated miserably by Xiao Wuliang."

"As expected of a peerless warrior who rode into battle alone in his teens."

"Isn't there a secret method..."

"Oh, you mean the secret method obtained from the grand ceremony more than ten years ago? I heard that at that time, a special girl was found and treated as a reincarnated spirit child. The supreme secret method was used to refine her body in order to revive the ancient Buddha, but it didn't work."

Li Guanyi's eyes moved slightly as he looked at the silver-haired girl.

Yaoguang leaned quietly against the corner, her eyes drooping and calm, when she suddenly felt a warm feeling coming from her ears. She raised her head slightly and saw Li Guanyi listening attentively to the monk's information.

The boy gently covered her ears with his palms.

The silver-haired girl showed no expression.

After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and placed it on Li Guanyi's palm.

The foreign monks didn't know that two outsiders had appeared in the corner. In this increasingly impoverished town, there were no books from the Central Plains, no storytellers in teahouses, and no peddlers walking the streets. They only talked about important events and gossip to relieve boredom. "Although it didn't work out, I did learn some skills from this process."

"There were some who had tempered the divine army, they were ten feet tall, all of them could use longbows and halberds, but they were all smashed to death by Xiao Wuliang's flying hammer, their heads bursting... There was no way, this peerless general who was now ranked thirteenth in the world, was in his thirties and at his peak."

"The Wolf King himself is also extremely fierce and unmatched."

"Yes, he has many brave generals under his command, including one called Gu Daohui, who was said to be a famous general under the command of Duke Taiping. Alas, the four guardian kings have ordered us to squeeze all the oil and water out of the surrounding small cities and states."

"I plan to abandon this place and fight the Wolf King with all my strength."

One of the foreign monks fell silent and said, "I also heard from the altar master that the Wolf King was once a famous general ranked in the top ten, just like Duke Taiping. It seems that he was ranked fourth, ahead of Duke Taiping, but was later defeated by Duke Taiping."

"Anyway, they are all very powerful characters in the Central Plains."

"It's not like that. In less than two years, the entire Dangxiang State was shattered and most of the city-states were occupied. Now all the thirty-six tribes say that only a hegemon like Tuyuhun can come to the earth."

"Only by taking out the [Golden King Seal] and gathering the heroes of the thirty-six tribes can we defeat him."

Another foreign monk said: "Tuyuhun, he is a cruel man."

"Is it possible that the Wolf King is equivalent to Tuyuhun three hundred years ago?"

Everyone fell silent. Li Guanyi stretched out his hand and poked a hole in the window paper. He saw a group of monks inside and a pot of hot tea on the table. Li Guanyi thought for a while, moved his fingers slightly, and a stream of internal energy wrapped around a mixture of Shidalin and medicinal powder.

Just a snap.

The Chen Kingdom royal family's unique martial arts, the Six Voids and Four Combinations Divine Art, is in operation.

Pour all the mixed powder into the teapot and stir evenly.

The monks were talking excitedly and they all drank the tea. Li Guanyi and Yaoguang had already left this place. The garrison camp in the Western Region city-state was not far from the residence of the Western Region nobles. Li Guanyi and Yaoguang strolled along the way and gave all the medicines to the garrison.

The main ones are [Ma Fei San] and [Ruan Gu San].

The one thousand defenders would definitely be defeated and would find it difficult to escape.

After finishing all these things, Li Guanyi swaggered into the mansion of the nobleman from the Western Regions. As he walked in, he saw Xiao Dayin chatting with a man in a black robe, saying:

"Want to leave? If you want to leave, you have to figure this thing out first."

"Humph, the Holy Church leader ordered us to return to defend immediately. Do you dare not obey?"

"This this……"

"Ah, okay."

Xiao Dayin gritted his teeth, raised his hand and pressed a handrail next to him. With a crackling sound, the wall on one side of the house collapsed, revealing a path. He and the other man hurried in, and Li Guanyi and Yaoguang followed behind.

The black-robed man said, "This place is well prepared."

Xiao Dayin asked: "The Holy Church has been operating here for a hundred years, why is it suddenly shrinking?"

The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then said, "You are already considered a core member of our Holy Church, so it's okay for me to tell you. Do you know what happened more than a decade ago?"

Xiao Dayin asked cautiously, "What about the tragedy back then?"

The black-robed man laughed twice and said, "You are well-informed."

"Yes, that's why."

"I heard that the culprit who caused the tragedy has reappeared. The deaths of Grandmaster Huyan Jixuan and the chief elder of a branch were all due to this incident. The leader of the Holy Church planned to take away the one-third of the secret realm that Huyan Jixuan suppressed that day."

"But we encountered opposition from the four guardian heavenly kings."

"The leader couldn't confront them openly, so he had to secretly instruct us to take away these small branch temples first, so as to avoid the disaster of the fishing group."

As he spoke, he opened the last level of the barrier, only to see darkness inside. There was a lot of gold and money, which were the merit money collected by the foreign monks. They were poured into an entrance and fell in through the passage.

Xiao Dayin said: "The merit money accumulated over the years is all here."

But the man in black robe didn't care about the gold and silver. He just walked quickly to a statue. There was a layer of warm light lingering on the statue. When you got close to it, you seemed to hear the whispers of millions of people. It was of infinite use.

"Haha, this is it, these are it..."

“Hahahaha, this is one of the core points of the formation. It is the accumulation of my Holy Church over the past hundred years. As long as we bring this formation back, then when that [weapon] comes back, we can start the formation again.”

"Refine it into a divine weapon for our Holy Religion."

“There is no eye realm, nor even a consciousness realm. There is no ignorance, nor an end to ignorance. There is no old age and death, nor an end to old age and death.”

"There is no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharma; no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no worries, no fears."

"No worries!"

The tone of the man in black robe was quite excited. At this moment, his soul suddenly beat violently. A feeling of extreme danger and extreme fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, and then grabbed his heart.

The black-robed man's expression changed drastically: "Who is it?!"

hum! ! !
The sound of the surging air was like a dragon's roar. The man in black robe displayed absolutely powerful martial arts and turned into several afterimages, which then gathered into one, avoiding this terrifying threat.

But the next moment, the man in black robe felt a pain in his chest.

An arrow pierced his chest directly.

The surging and magnificent light was torn apart, and it turned into a white tiger, which bit him and slammed him heavily against the wall, causing the wall to emit a roaring sound.

A calm voice said, "Unfortunately, you don't have this chance anymore."

The man in black robe raised his head and saw the second arrow coming straight at him.

Accompanied by a humming sound like wings.

The arrow shot directly into his forehead.

That powerful and domineering internal energy seemed to be useless. The internal energy exploded, and the black-robed man's head shattered like a watermelon. Xiao Dayin's face was pale and his body was trembling. Before he could say anything, he was knocked unconscious by Li Guanyi's stick.

Then he fed me a handful of Ma Fei San.

After doing all these things, Li Guanyi calmed down and looked at the secret room with the white-haired girl. Li Guanyi looked around and found coins, gold and silver everywhere. The ropes used to tie the copper coins had rotted because of too long time.

A huge amount of gold, silver and utensils were piled up in this small secret room.

"I originally just wanted to take back the town, but I didn't expect that it would create such a big hole..." Li Guanyi's eyes swept across the place with a calm expression, and he finally understood the structure of the entire Western Region.

The people of all tribes in the entire Western Regions, as well as the so-called middle people, upper and lower people, and upper middle people, are all the nourishment of the Demon Sect. No wonder the Demon Sect can continue to revive even though the great Whale Fisherman has killed so many people from the Demon Sect.

The whale fishermen can only kill the high-level members one by one, but the soil that nurtures the Demon Sect is the structure of the entire Western Region. If such an environment in the Western Region is not eliminated, if one Demon Sect member is killed, two will emerge.

Li Guanyi's gaze moved away from the temporarily unconscious Xiao Dayin and fell on the statue. The Jiuzhou Ding in his body whistled slightly. Li Guanyi walked slowly over, stretched out his hand and pressed down on the statue, feeling a stream of human luck entangled with it.

Chaos, confusion.

The Jiuzhou Cauldron hums continuously.

The grand and upright spirit is intended to transform the humanity that has been tempered by the Demon Sect.

However, Li Guanyi had not yet cast the second of the Nine Cauldrons. The Nine Provinces Cauldron in his body could not leave his body, and he was unable to transform this turbid human energy. At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded, and the statue suddenly lit up.

Li Guanyi's eyes narrowed slightly and he saw a trace of blood on the base of the statue.

It was thrown out by the man in black robe before he turned around and died.

Could it be——!
The vital energy surged, almost turning into a wave. Li Guan reacted in an instant. He stretched out his left hand to grab Yaoguang and protected the girl behind him. With a wave of his right hand, the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd appeared, accompanied by bursts of low dragon roars, and golden-red scales appeared.

A red divine dragon appeared, circling slowly and turning into a coiled dragon, protecting Li Guanyi and Yaoguang in the middle. The dragon's head was lowered, its pupils were golden red, and it stared at the statue coldly and silently.

Li Guanyi held the magic weapon with a powerful aura.

Misstep...

The Demon Sect has the means to actively go into madness and have their flesh and blood explode, but no one would have thought that just this drop of blood could activate the statue of the Demon Sect. The Jiuzhou Cauldron in Li Guanyi's body roared, and in front of him, his vitality slowly dissipated.

A figure walked out from between illusion and reality.

She was an extremely beautiful woman, with a face so delicate that seemed to come from the heavens. Her eyes were clear and peaceful, with a distant divinity, but the smile on her lips was warm and charming. The goddess was cold and aloof, and all things in the world were contained in her one body.

Li Guanyi had seen this face and this temperament before.

It is located at the Demon Sect’s headquarters, guarded by the Grand Master of the fortune-telling lineage.

! ! ! !
Li Guanyi's pupils contracted violently, and the young man almost instinctively stretched out his hand to cover Yaoguang's eyes, but it was too late. The woman seemed to have reappeared here with the help of the magic sect's magic and the luck of humanity. Her eyes moved away from the dead subordinates and fell on Li Guanyi.

After a pause, it moved back and landed on the hooded girl behind the boy.

It seemed as if the wind was blowing, and Yaoguang's hood rolled down, and her silver hair was slightly lifted, revealing a face that was a little childish, but equally delicate and beautiful, and amber eyes that were even more indifferent and clear.

She reached out, grabbed Li Guanyi's arm, and then pulled the boy's arm down.

He stared at the woman quietly and fearlessly.

Then the eyes of the peerless woman seemed to have a slight fluctuation, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Li Guanyi who was protecting the girl with interest;

Although she had no expression and seemed calm and brave, her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the boy's arm.

The woman's voice was cold and smiling. She looked away from Yaoguang and looked at Li Guanyi. She was wearing complicated and gorgeous clothes at the moment. There were colorful ribbons swaying slightly on her arms. She placed her hands on her belly, looking graceful and gorgeous. She smiled:

"What a not-so-nice meeting."

"It was unexpected and incredible, like a surprise attack."

"If I hadn't been a little more careful and left a trace of my soul in every place, which would be triggered when there was a bloody aura or fighting aura, I would have really been taken away by you."

Li Guanyi protected Yaoguang with his left hand and held the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his right hand. He slowly retreated and distanced himself from the woman. The five great Dharma images appeared here. The Fire Kirin turned into a cat, but a golden-red flame had already appeared in its throat.

In an instant, he was on full alert.

The woman seemed to be unconcerned and just said:
"I thought we would have a more...formal and pleasant meeting."

"Isn't it?"

"General of Zhongzhou Tiance, the first-class Qin Wuhou of the founding of the country."

"Qilin in troubled times, a famous general in the world."

"Li Guanyi."

"Or should I call you that?"

The woman stretched out her hand to curl up her black hair and smiled:
"Good son-in-law?"
