Chapter 1326
After Wang Qinian finished his analysis, Xu Shan nodded with a solemn expression.
“I must go to Guifang Yanzhou in person.”
"Back then, in order to seal the [Gates of Hell] there, the royal family sent out three strands of dragon energy."
"Borrow the [Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Formation] to suppress the demons of the Ghost Fang."
"Now, the celestial beings and the earth demons are in cahoots, doing the same thing."
"If they use these three strands of dragon energy and Yan'er to make a big fuss behind the scenes..."
"Both I and the fate of the Ming Dynasty will be severely constrained."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Zhang Liansong volunteered, saying, "Sir, I once accompanied my master to Wangshan in Yanzhou, Guifang, to diagnose pulses for a year and a half."
"I have a good understanding of the local area, its terrain, and its customs."
"I'll go with you this time."
Zhang Liansong's master, Jiumingsi, would enter the mortal world every so often to "observe the mountains and diagnose their pulses".
Understand the terrain and mountain ranges of famous mountains in various places, and use this knowledge to deduce the evolution of the heavens and the earth.
Yanzhou is located between three mountains: Baota Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, and Fenghuang Mountain, at the confluence of the Yan River and the Fen River.
It is known as the "throat of the frontier" and the "key to Shaanxi and the gateway to five routes".
He certainly wouldn't miss it!
That's why Gou Dan, who had followed Jiu Siming since he was a child, often went to this place.
"it is good!"
"It doesn't matter whether I'm familiar with the terrain or not. What's important is that I need someone to keep me entertained and cheer me on while I'm on the road."
After Xu Shan finished joking around, Zhang Liansong, who was covering his face, exclaimed "Damn!"
Wang Qinian, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm more professional at this than Gou Dan."
"Haha."
"You have other plans."
At this point, Xu Shan paused briefly before adding, "This time, the heads of various feudal lords and their representatives have come to the capital. Among them are several long-established powerful clans from the Qinling Mountains and Guanzhong region."
"Over the years, in order to stabilize them and guard the interior, the imperial court has bestowed upon them various rewards!"
"But they mostly paid lip service to His Majesty while secretly disobeying him."
"When we entered Shu, I originally hoped that the elite troops from the Central Plains would pass through Micang and Chencang to enter Shu from within the pass."
"But these powerful families, fearing that we would directly take over Wuguan and other places, refused outright."
“In the past, in order to maintain the overall situation, I could turn a blind eye.”
"But now, I've freed up my resources. With the Northern Frontier at peace, they've secretly colluded with the Celestials, attempting to cause trouble in the capital."
"This issue……"
"Grandma can tolerate it, but Grandpa can't."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Qinian, who immediately understood his meaning, quickly replied, "Does Your Excellency intend to pull a fast one?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan nodded emphatically and said, "Mengmen Pass, Pian Pass, and Longmen Pass are important passes for entering Guanzhong from Jinzhou."
"This is something I absolutely must achieve."
"Furthermore, if possible, Tongguan should also be occupied."
"At the very least, it can guarantee that these powerful family heads won't be able to get back once they leave."
"We must also prevent the Qin army in Guanzhong from having the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and cause chaos."
"This is my minimum requirement."
"You will personally coordinate with the Northern Liang army."
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Qinian nodded emphatically and replied, "These passes, Ghost Pavilion and Dark Moon Pavilion have already laid down spies through the channels of Divine Mechanism."
"Including Chang'an and other places, not a single one was left out."
"They are just waiting for the day when they will be awakened by the adults."
After Xu Shan acquired a large sum of money and elixirs, he spared no expense in developing underground networks across the country.
Today, the tentacles of the Dark Moon Pavilion and the Ghost Pavilion have not only reached into the martial arts world and the imperial court, but have also left their mark on many important towns and families.
"Master Xu..."
"The barbarian royal family is still trapped inside the [Six Ding Six Jia Yin Mountain Formation]."
"What should they do?"
Yinshan Tonglao, who has now taken over the formation, inquired at this moment.
"killed!"
"A human head, just in time for use in the royal family's [Apocalypse Ritual]."
"Yes."
After arranging everything, Xu Shan asked Ye Lin to contact Li Yuanfang as soon as possible.
He was ordered to personally lead a team back to the capital, and after secretly contacting the Celestial Master, to set up the formation and make arrangements according to the original plan.
By the time Xu Shan finished explaining these things, they had already descended Yinshan Mountain.
At this time, the Northern Liang army, having received Xu Shan's secret order, had already completed the encirclement of the Yinshan Sect.
They are now completely trapped.
"Ok?"
"How come there are people from the Yinshan Sect already engaged in battle?"
"Isn't this going to death?"
Xu Shan, who was about to withdraw from the area, keenly noticed that the barbarian elites were surrounding and killing hundreds of people dressed as elders and disciples of the Yinshan Sect.
Although they were far superior to these barbarian armies in strength.
Even a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves.
In addition, they had just escaped death from the Yinshan Sect.
Therefore, when Xu Shan and his group captured these people, they had not only suffered heavy losses, but were also all injured.
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Wang Qinian quickly came over and briefly recounted what had just happened.
"My lord, to be precise, these people are no longer members of the Yinshan Sect."
"Right, Yinshan Child Granny?"
Faced with Wang Qinian's question, Yinshan Tonglao said with a solemn expression, "This was done by Lord Wang, wasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian replied with an unwavering smile, "Those who are not of our kind deserve to be condemned and slaughtered."
"They owe my family a life."
"You have to pay it back!"
After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Yinshan Tonglao, who was clearly moved by compassion, first looked at Xu Shan, and then at Chen Dingtian beside her.
"A woman's kindness!"
Chen Dingtian, who understood her gaze, snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, just as the Yinshan Child Granny was about to say something, the people on the high ground vaguely heard the leader's shout...
"Quickly, retreat to the Yinshan secret passage."
"Shift the blame eastward. Let the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the rest of the Yinshan Sect fight them to the death."
"Perhaps we still have a glimmer of hope."
The former Elder Chang of the Yinshan Sect, who was at the head of the group, led the few remaining elders and disciples, shouting loudly as they retreated towards the secret realm.
'boom.'
Upon hearing Elder Chang's words, not only the Imperial Guards present, but even the Yinshan Sect elders and disciples who had previously felt a sliver of pity for him were filled with anger.
"A dog can't stop eating shit."
'Uh-huh. '
After muttering these words, Xu Shan immediately waved his hand.
The next second, a barrier appeared out of nowhere, directly blocking Elder Chang and the others' chance of escape.
'boom. ’
"Ouch."
Elder Chang and his group, who were rushing forward headfirst, were bounced back after crashing into the barrier.
"Why is there a barrier here? There wasn't one when we came here."
"Hmm? Look, those figures in the mountains behind the secret passage."
"It's Granny Tong, Tuotuohua and the others."
"And, there are also retired Imperial Guards."
After vaguely seeing Yinshan Tonglao and Xu Shan's group from more than ten meters away, these people immediately broke through their defenses.
