Mr. Jiu stared blankly at the mess, like a sculpture that hadn't been moved for a long time. The minced meat hanging on the wall fell down with a clatter, making the place even more incomparably quiet. In the distance, several of Mr. Jiu's subordinates were all frightened and dumbfounded, looking at Mr. Jiu in bewilderment.
The first explosion triggered a series of explosions. Saburo held a thing in his left and right hands, one of which exploded, and the other was blown up by Beng Fei back into the room, triggering a series of explosions. The entire underground palace was trembling. If it wasn't built strong enough, it might have collapsed.
The stone chamber was completely destroyed, and everything in it was reduced to debris.
"Master Jiu..."
A subordinate came over and tentatively called Mr. Jiu.
Mr. Jiu mechanically looked back at him, then raised his hand and slapped the hand away. That person flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, hit the stone wall with a bang, and fell softly, as if he was out of breath.
The rest of the people retreated again and again in fright, but they dared not escape.
"Go, arrest Saburo's master and all the senior brothers. If there is one less, you will all die. This place must be kept absolutely secret. If someone leaks this place, you know the methods of the Moon Shadow Hall, even if you escape It doesn't make sense to go to the ends of the earth."
"yes!"
Those subordinates turned around and ran out as if they had received an amnesty.
Trembling, Mr. Jiu walked slowly to the place where the blast exploded, and looked down at the flesh and blood mixed in the rubble on the ground. The power of that thing was beyond imagination, and Sanlang was blown to pieces in one blow. Now I can't find any decent piece of meat, and the head is broken and completely shapeless.
"I've been calculating for so long... but I can't calculate such an accident."
Mr. Jiu muttered to himself, his face extremely ugly.
He suddenly thought, if it wasn't Saburo who found this thing but him, then with his cultivation level at that time, he might not be able to stop this violent blow. Changes in this world will never be counted. He can calculate anyone, but he cannot calculate God's will.

…
Yan Zeng seemed to be preoccupied. After saluting Fang Xie, he stood with his head down and waited for orders. There were only Fang Jie, Wu Yidao, Dugu Wenxiu and the other four in the big tent. For some reason, Yan Zeng seemed to be avoiding the eyes of others.
"I called you here to give you an important errand."
Fang Jie glanced at him and said, "Come to the front of the map."
Yan Zeng hurried over, with a strange expression on his face. He seemed a little unusual at first, but he was obviously taken aback when he heard Fang Jie's words that he wanted to give you an important errand. Fang Jie didn't seem to see his fault, pointed to the location of Lingmen Pass on the map and said: "You should also know the current military situation, the Great Khan of Meng Yuan, Kuoketai Meng Ge, is said to be worth a million soldiers. All the troops entered the customs. Dugu, Marquis Sanjin and I speculated that Brother Meng would divide his troops and attack Hedong Road all the way. There was Chen Dingnan's troops there. Master, there should be no problem."
"As for the other route, I discussed with the two of them, and I think the most likely way is to take the Lingmen Pass and copy to the back of our army. You have led troops to the Lingmen Pass before, and you are more familiar with the terrain there. Now you go back and prepare, bring enough food and grass, and immediately lead the troops to take down the gate of the spirit gate, and I will let the people from Andrew's Firearms Battalion assist you."
Fang Jie said: "You should know that the spiritual gate is very important. A small spiritual gate can't stop the wolf cavalry, and my black flag army is facing the enemy."
"My lord..."
Yan Zeng was stunned for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you really want your subordinates to lead soldiers to Lingmen Pass?"
"The military order has been issued."
Fang Jie replied with four words.
"But… "
Yan Zeng opened his mouth, but didn't say the following words.
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Go, I know what you are thinking, and I know that you must have a hard time these few days. Regardless of whether Gao Kaitai has anything to do with the matter of wolf riding into the customs, you feel uncomfortable. But Now you don't have time to think about these, close the spiritual door to me as soon as possible, and then hold it. As long as I don't think about other things, what do you care about other people thinking about?"
The corners of Yan Zeng's mouth trembled slightly, and in the end he just clasped his fists and saluted deeply: "Don't worry, my lord, even if this subordinate dies, he will die when the spirit gate is closed!"
Fang Jie shook his head: "A man should not say death easily. The gate of Lingmen is closed to one man and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it. This battle is not easy to fight. If you need anything else, go back to Dugu. He is in charge of military supply dispatch. I will let him I will fully equip you. In addition, I will assign some of General Li Tai's men to you, and you must treat them kindly."
"Here!"
Yan Zeng nodded heavily, and then left specially. It could be seen that his shoulders were still shaking slightly when he left. Looking at Yan Zeng's back, Dugu Wenxiu suddenly understood something. He finally recognized the difference between himself and Fang Xie, so Fang Xie is now the leader of the Black Banner Army, and he is Fang Xie's subordinate.
Sometimes, a word of trust can save a life.
"My lord."
At this moment, someone from outside opened the curtain and came in. It was Liao Sheng, one of the twelve thousand households of Xiaoqi School. After the white lion came back, he and Xiaoqi school also withdrew from the west. Thinking about it now, if the white lion hadn't come back so soon, the Xiaoqi school would have stayed in the northwest for a while longer, and the news of Meng Yuanlang's entry into the pass would have come back faster. The world is so unpredictable, and some things are only a hair's breadth away.
"There is news from Gao Kaitai."
Liao Sheng opened the curtain of the big tent and came in, clasped his fists together: "Gao Kaitai agreed to have a meeting with the lord, but he didn't want to come to the camp again, and instead appointed Chunbo Pavilion, which is one hundred and sixty miles north of our camp. Let's meet. When the subordinates come back, Gao Kaitai is also going to bring the troops over here."
"Chunbo Pavilion?"
Wu Yidao knew the place without looking at the map: "Gao Kaitai would choose. Chunbo Pavilion is not a pavilion, but a small town. It got its name from a few poems written by a great poet in the previous dynasty. Among them are The sentence is that this heart has no place to return to, wandering around Chunbo Pavilion... "
"Although the small city is only two or three miles in radius, it is one of the outskirts of Chang'an City. The walls are tall and strong, and more than 10,000 soldiers can be hidden in the city. Chunboting City was originally guarded by Gao Kaitai's subordinates. As long as there is food in that place No matter how strong the army is, it won't be a problem to defend for a few months. He was worried that the lord would kill him, so he chose that, even if he was trapped, he could persist until reinforcements came to rescue him."
"Ha ha."
Wu Yidao couldn't help laughing: "We said before that Gao Kaitai didn't have the scheming spirit to lay out such a big picture... Sure enough, if the lord wants to kill him, what difference does he have?"
"No..."
Fang Jie frowned suddenly: "Chunboting City is the middle point between Gao Kaitai's camp and our Black Banner Army's camp. The two of us are walking towards each other. Calculated according to the distance, that place is the fastest place for the two sides to meet. Gao Kaitai is not worried that I will kill him, but that others will kill him."
He raised his head and looked at Wu Yidao: "It seems that Gao Kaitai probably didn't know about the entry of the Mengyuan people... Marquis, please take a walk, Gao Kaitai must have been waiting for me to send someone to see him, He must come here in such a hurry because he was worried that someone would harm him. Master Hou is one step ahead to meet him, and he cannot be allowed to die. "
Wu Yidao's heart was slightly shocked, and he looked at Fang Jie with admiration in his eyes. I hadn't thought of this level at all just now, if Fang Jie hadn't pointed it out, I would still be laughing at Gao Kaitai.
"good."
He got up and went out: "I'm going now."
…
…
The Northwest of the Sui Dynasty was divided into five roads according to the region, among which the most famous one is naturally the Shandong Road. Not only because this is the coldest and barren place in the Sui Dynasty, but also because it is next to Langru Mountain, and the only passage for the Mongols and Sui people is here.
Shandong Road is a long and narrow road running from north to south, and the western boundary line is also the national boundary line of the Sui Dynasty. The northeast of Shandong Road is Shannan Road. Because Langru Mountain turns east-west at the northwest corner of Shandong Road, the name of Shannan Road is also directly related to Langru Mountain. Shannan Road is an inverted triangle, wide in the north and narrower towards the south, like a wedge wedged between Shandong Road and Hexi Road.
To the south of Shandong Road is Shanjiang Road, which is the smallest but relatively richest place in the northwest. To the south of Shanjiang Road is Mangdang Mountain, and after crossing the mountain and crossing the river, you will find Huangyang Road in the north of the southwest. The eastern boundary of Shanjiang Road is Yishui, and after Yishui is Shujing Road.
Looking at the map, the shape of the Shujing Road is very similar to the Shandong Road in the northwest. They are both narrow from east to west and very long from north to south. The southeast of Shujing Road is Jiangbei Road, and the east road is connected to the north and northeast. Seungan-do is almost half-enclosed by Hadong-do and Shujing-do, and Gyeonggi-do is further southeast of Seungan-do.
Unlike Shujing Road, Jiangbei Road is long from east to west and narrow to south.
According to the Daoism division of the Sui Dynasty, Jiangbei Road is the second largest place in the Sui Dynasty. The largest one is Shuncheng Road in the northeast, which is almost as large as the sum of Huangyang Road and Beihui Road in the southwest, which is equivalent to at least three and a half Shanjiang Roads in the northwest.
Shan Jiang Road
Pyongan County
Ping'an County
It's not safe here at all.
An army of at least 300,000 wolf cavalry has surrounded Ping'an county with water tight, and as long as they break through this county again, they will be able to reach the edge of Yishui River. As the largest river running from north to south, many places along the Yishui River are supply places for boats. Ping'an County is one of the many supply places. There is a well-developed business here, and fishery is the main industry of Ping'an County people.
"Sweating profusely."
Quoketai Mengdo, one of the generals of Mengyuan Wolf Cavalry Wang Ting, walked quickly to Meng Ge, lowered his head and said, "Ping'an County has been encircled, and it won't take long to break the city. But... but a team of 10,000 people from the Black Mountain Army Instead of stationing at the back as planned, they drove to the front."
Meng Ge frowned slightly, and turned to look at a big man in leather armor sitting not far to his left. This person is at least 1.9 meters tall, with a tiger back and a monkey waist, just sitting there, like a big mountain. As a profuse sweat, Meng Ge naturally had the aura of dominating the world, but this man was not suppressed much in front of Meng Ge, and he faintly seemed to be fighting against courtesy.
"Sweating profusely."
The burly general clasped his fists at Meng Ge: "My people... If they just walk over the road and don't participate in the battle, then their knives will rust. If my soldiers forget the smell of blood, they will also die." It is no longer the Black Mountain Army."
Meng Ge was silent for a while and then nodded: "Farewell, Ping'an County... will be attacked by the Black Mountain Army."
Quoketai Mundo was taken aback for a moment, he opened his mouth to say something but Meng Ge shook his head to stop him. He gave the strong man a hard look, and said with a sneer, "I'll see how General Gai She's subordinates attack the city."
The burly man was none other than General Gai She of the Montenegro Army. He first bowed his head to thank Meng Ge: "Thank you, Great Khan, for your trust."
Then he looked at Duobie: "After all, he is stronger than you, at least he won't get off the horse and can't even walk."
Dobie's face changed, and he wanted to get angry, but because Meng Ge couldn't get angry, he just snorted coldly, turned around and left while holding the knife handle.
