Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan quickly arrived at the gate of Beicheng. He quickly walked through the door and walked out of the city. As he walked, his mind was running rapidly. "Except for the confrontation with Liu Chengyong at the back door of the military warehouse, which delayed a little time, the rest was very short. , and the time before was also taken into account. Roughly speaking, from entering the military camp to now, the total time is about half of the incense stick. At this time, Chen An and Li Yin would not be suspicious, and Ji Wenhe should still be It will be in the Marshal’s Mansion.”

While thinking, he had already left the city gate and arrived outside the city gate. Sure enough, he did not see Chen An and Li Yin intercepting him here. If he and Li had reacted at this time, they must have intercepted them at the south gate or the north gate. He couldn't get out of the rest of the place. He smiled and said hello to the soldiers guarding the city, and left quickly.

The soldiers guarding the city were a little surprised. First of all, how could Mr. Li leave on foot? He had entered the city on horseback just now. Secondly, what about his two bodyguards who never leave him? But they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they had to say hello and let him go.

After Li Yan left the city, he only walked half a mile before he turned and ran towards Daqing Mountain on the west side. He would not stupidly walk on the official road for a while and then turn around, as that would only increase the number of people. It's just a chance to meet the enemy. This is not what he wants now.

In the Marshal's Mansion, Commander Ji looked at Marshal Hong's frowning expression and helplessly picked up the tea and took another sip. At this time, about an hour had passed at noon, and the two of them had spent about a month just discussing the military situation. For a quarter of an hour, they discussed countermeasures again and again.

"This is the fourth plan, alas." Master Ji took a sip of water and leaned back in his chair. Although these things do not require the use of spiritual power, they are also very mentally demanding.

After a while, he saw that Marshal Hong was still thinking, so he said, "Commander, this plan has comprehensively considered all the accidents that may occur in the first three plans. Although the military strategist said that it is an exhaustive plan. ', but the use of troops can only be based on the situation, and there can be no so-called perfect strategy."

Just as he was speaking, Master Ji's face changed and he looked up at the door. Marshal Hong was listening to his words. When he saw him mid-sentence, he stopped talking. Looking up at him, he saw Master Ji raising his eyes and looking out the door of the lobby. But he didn't see anything or hear any sound. In the midst of doubt, his ears twitched again. At this time, there were faint footsteps outside the door, and his face suddenly became solemn. "This guy's internal skills are getting more and more amazing. Observe However, his complexion is even worse than before, which shows that the poison is so fierce. If this happened to him, he would probably have to use 80 to 90% of his internal strength to suppress it. So after all this calculation, the remaining internal strength would only be He can be a second-rate guy, but his inner strength after being suppressed is still far better than what he was in his prime, which is really shocking. "

A voice came from outside the lobby door, "Commander, the gold and silver collected from taxes and taxes in the city this month have been loaded into the truck. They will be taken to the garrison camp behind after being inspected by the commander."

When Master Ji heard this, he inadvertently showed a trace of ridicule on his face, but it was just fleeting. He knew very well that this commander, in addition to liking the martial arts secrets of various schools in the world, was also very interested in these yellow and white things. Since the border areas have been relatively peaceful in recent years, the dynasty has already issued a decree that local people are not allowed to migrate in the border areas to show the people's patriotism. Therefore, daily necessities are still needed in large quantities, which has caused unsatisfactory A few business travelers came here to explore for gold, and the economy here became very prosperous.

And Marshal Hong has been

\u003c/di\u003e

After that, the military and government took over the power and local tax revenue. However, they also knew that they could not do things to perfection, and the people's complaints would be bad. In addition to leaving 40% for Outside the local government office, he converted the remaining 60% into gold and silver every month and put it directly into the army, which was called "Junsheng".

He would definitely be worried if these "military troops" were placed at the forefront of defending the city. If they were not transported away, they would accumulate over many years, which would be quite considerable. If the city was lost, how would there be time to transport them away, so every day Yue will find time to transport them to the garrison camp in the rear, and each time he has to personally inspect them before affixing a seal.

Naturally, Master Ji despised this approach. As an immortal cultivator, he looked down upon the yellow and white things in the mortal world.

After hearing this, Marshal Hong grinned at Military Advisor Ji, "Master Military Advisor, what you just said is absolutely true. There is a perfect strategy in the world. I have thought about it again and again and decided to use your last strategy. I will summon the generals later." Staff discussion.”

When Master Ji heard this, he knew that his mind was no longer on this matter. He immediately stood up and bowed, "Now that it's settled, I will no longer be involved in the follow-up affairs of this subordinate. Recently, my subordinate's health has become worse and worse." Okay, let’s go back and recuperate.”

"Oh, okay, okay, military counselor, you have to take care of your health. If there are any herbs you need, just ask and I will send people to try my best to find them. But I can't help you with the poison. I can only blame my martial arts. Shallow, alas!”

After hearing this, the third division commander just smiled, cupped his hands again, and walked out of the lobby.

Looking at the walking figure, Marshal Hong's face slowly darkened. After a short pause, he looked towards the back of the lobby.

"Junior brother, since the report has come, let's go to the back and take a look at that kid." Then he swayed towards the door. Behind him, a figure rushed out from the back of the lobby and followed him.

In a room in the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion, "Well, why are you here alone? What's going on?" As soon as Marshal Hong entered the room, he closed the door. The figure behind him did not follow, but There was also no sign of anyone in the garden outside, as if they had disappeared.

After entering the room, he glanced around and his face suddenly became gloomy, as if he was about to drip water. He saw Liu Chengyong alone in the room with an uneasy expression on his face. He quickly stood up when he came in.

Liu Chengyong knelt down on one knee with a look of shame on his face, bowed his head and bowed his hands, "Commander, my subordinates are incompetent and cannot bring Li Yan here. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief."

Marshal Hong had a gloomy face and said coldly, "You say it!"

After half a cup of tea, Marshal Hong took two pages of letter paper and read them again and again. There was a small porcelain vase on the table. After he read the letter paper several times, his expression changed uncertainly. Later, he put the Put the letter in your arms.

"So, Li Yan's martial arts skills are still superior to yours?"

"Yes, I can use my head as guarantee. His aura is extremely thick. If he misses a hit, it will definitely attract others' attention." Liu Chengyong also thought about it and said with confusion. He still has no idea. I can't understand how a person can

He has cultivated his inner strength to such an extent in just a few months. How could there be such a martial arts mentality in the world.

Marshal Hong held his chin in his hand and thought for a while, with a look of disbelief on his face. If the man in front of him had not been his loyal subordinate for more than ten years, he might have slapped this nonsense-talking person to death, but He also knew deeply that this man would not lie to him.

"Then you go back first." After a while, he said to Liu Chengyong.

Liu Chengyong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly excused himself, and walked out quickly. At this time, his back was soaked. "It turns out that Brother Li really didn't lie to me. After the commander read the letter, his anger disappeared and I don't know what he said."

Marshal Hong stood in the room for a while, then took out the letter from his arms and said, "Junior brother, come and take a look." ????

A figure floated up from outside the house, soundlessly. After standing still, it turned out to be a very strong man, but such a figure was so light, which made people feel an extremely uncomfortable contrast.

The big man took the letter and read it for a while, then read one page over and over again, "Hey, senior brother, this guy really taught me how to practice."

"Yes, this is the first level of the 'Mu Yin Gong' cultivation method. Maybe junior brother can see the authenticity of his 'Mu Yin Gong' cultivation method?"

Hearing this, the big man picked up the piece of paper and read it carefully again.

"Junior brother, I just took a closer look. Some of the methods of performing martial arts are unheard of. With my current knowledge, I can't tell the truth from the false." Marshal Hong said.

"But this guy only gave us the first level of the technique. The rest requires us to help him complete the rest of the things before he can give it to us. Well, I can't judge the authenticity of this technique. Well, do you want us to try it? Use this technique." The big man raised his head and said, his eyes shining with expectation.

Marshal Hong did not answer immediately. He put his chin on his hand and thought for a while, looking at the big man's expectant eyes. "I have also considered what my junior brother said, but the internal power cannot be achieved with just one try."

There was silence in the room for a while, and then Marshal Hong said, "But you can give it a try. Maybe you can experience the route of his exercises. I can't say that you can gain some insights, but that kid used the following exercises to coerce him into helping him." Marshal Hong said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Senior brother, I'm here to try this technique. If it's true, it's worth it to help him. Then I'll just kill him. He's just a wild kid, but he dares to be so presumptuous, huh."

"Okay, junior brother, let's go to the secret room. I will protect you. Come and try." After saying that, he reached out and picked up the small porcelain bottle on the table and put it into his arms. He turned around and walked out. As he walked, he said, "But this kid is still Someone with skills can actually put this thing on Ji Wenhe without being detected. Hehe, I really can't bear to kill him, but this kid is too cunning. If he treats us like this, if he is not careful, , wouldn’t that also fall into his trap?”

Chen An and Li Yin were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and rushed out of the military camp.

The two of them had been chatting with their old colleagues in the military camp for about two hours. Before Li Yan came out, they couldn't help but feel anxious. They frequently looked in the direction of the Chinese military camp and glanced at each other from time to time. They all felt something in each other's eyes. Feeling uneasy, after a while, the two interacted with each other again

\u003c/di\u003e

After taking a look, he stood up and apologized to those people, then walked aside to discuss it in a low voice.

The two bravely walked towards the Chinese army's tent. They broke into the Chinese army's stronghold without military orders and might lose their heads. When the two of them were still some distance away from the Chinese army's tent, they were discovered by patrolling soldiers, who immediately shouted at them and asked them to take out their pass tokens. Fortunately, the two of them are also old men in the army, so they have some words to say, indicating that they need to see Mr. Ji about something important, and hope they can inform him.

When the patrolling soldiers saw the situation between the two of them, they realized that there might be something urgent to do to Mr. Ji, not to mention someone recognized that they were from the Military Advisor's Mansion, so someone reported to the Chinese army's main tent. After a short time, that person The soldier who reported the news came back and said to the two of them unkindly, "Are you two entertaining me? Mr. Ji has never come to the army today. Please leave as soon as possible."

When they heard this, they immediately felt bad. They quickly thanked him and rushed towards the camp gate.

This actually made the patrol team look at the demon-like figures of the two of them with some surprise. "It seems that it is really urgent to find Mr. Ji."

Chen An and Li Yin knew that there was only one exit from the military camp. As for the exit from the baggage warehouse camp at the back, they didn't even think about where it was. It was the most important place in the army, not to mention that it was not a place for people to go in and out.

After arriving at the camp gate, the two people hurriedly asked the camp gate guard again, and finally got the result that shocked them both: "Master Li went out alone more than two hours ago." How did they know that today's class Marshal Hong also arranged for the soldiers to wait here, waiting for them to inquire about the results.

The two of them were shocked, knowing that they had made a big mistake this time. Master Ji had issued a death order, telling them not to leave Li Yan's side.

They almost lost their temper and started fighting with the guard. The guard just said lightly, "Master Li is going out. Do I still have the power to detain him? Do you want us to commit the crime?"

Chen An and Li Yin had no choice but to ride out angrily, one to the south gate and the other to the north gate. If Li Yan left the city, he would definitely leave from these two places. All he had to do was confirm whether he was leaving the city. , that would be easy to handle.

A quarter of an hour later, the two met again at the agreed place, each told the result, then rode together and rushed to the military advisor's mansion.

Just now at the North City Gate, they easily got the news that Li Yan went out alone two hours ago. This made the two of them feel a little uneasy, but they still had some expectations.

In just a short time, the two of them hurried to the Military Advisor's Mansion, jumped off their horses and rushed into the valley, causing everyone on the field outside the valley to be surprised.

The two of them also forgot the warning not to enter the valley without orders. After entering the valley, they ran straight to Li Yan's room. When they entered the room, they found it empty, but there was someone there.

Both of them had their backs wet. They hurriedly came out of the house and looked into the valley carefully. The valley was not big and could be seen at a glance. At this time, in addition to the swaying flowers, there was only spring water slowly flowing down the rock wall. A breeze blew.

They were waiting to search carefully in the valley, hoping that Li Yan would be diving in the pool or lying in the flowers, even in the toilet, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Why are there just you two and Li Yan?"
