"According to Ji Qian, the container cannot be broken before the luck is taken out. In other words, if the "container" is broken, will the luck be returned to Dafeng?

"Then if I tell Duke Wei these things, how will he treat me?"

After blowing out the candles, Xu Qi'an, who was lying on the bed, suddenly had this question.

He can make deletions, only tell Duke Wei the existence of Jianzheng and the legacy of the Dafeng royal family, and not disclose information about luck.

But the problem is, he doesn't know which floor Wei Yuan is on, just like he can't see which floor the prison is on.

If Wei Yuan is told this information, Wei Yuan will combine the information and knowledge he has to infer the inside story of luck.

Oh, it turns out that Dafeng's national strength is weak, the people are suffering, and the court has serious abuses. All of these are due to the loss of luck, and luck is on Xu Qi'an.

As an aspiring and ambitious national scholar who is dedicated to eradicating serious illnesses, does Wei Yuan kill relatives for the sake of the country and the people, or choose to cover up and turn a blind eye?

This is not my unfounded worry. According to Wei Yuan's skill and his legend, if I am on the eighteenth floor, then he may be on the ninety-ninth floor. Xu Qi'an sat up and meditated in the dark.

All of a sudden, there was a feeling that the whole world was harming me.

The first generation and the present generation are unreliable, and Wei Yuan with thick legs, who was originally hugged tightly, may turn against each other if he knows his luck.

"what should I do?"

In the dark night, Xu Qi'an murmured to himself.

"If I have a third-rank or even a second-rank combat power, I can walk sideways, jump out of the chessboard and become a chess player. But I am only a sixth-rank warrior.

"The first generation prison is like a knife hanging over my head. Even if it doesn't fall in the near future, I have a hunch that it won't be too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to become a peak martial artist in a short time.

"In this case, the best way to deal with it is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and use the enemy's enemy to deal with the enemy. But the first generation and the current generation are not good things."

After a long time, Xu Qi'an's chuckle sounded in the silent room: "I have figured out a way."

"Defend the lotus seeds first, promote to the fifth rank as soon as possible, then return to the capital, and play a round of truth or dare with Wei Gong"

In the early morning, when the first ray of dawn fell, the spies wrapped in black robes transported more than 20 cannons, and moved slowly along the road at the foot of Yuezhi Mountain Villa.

Tianji and Tianshu stood on the side of the road with their hands behind their backs, watching their subordinates put the cannons side by side in a straight line.

The spies were making preparations before shooting in an orderly manner. They were not afraid of the enemies in the villa attacking and destroying them, because not far from the artillery team was the Lotus Taoist priest of Dizong and his disciples.

There are also martial arts alliance masters headed by Cao Qingyang. Although the relationship between the two parties is not good, everyone has the same goal. If Yueshi Villa wants to destroy the artillery by means of a sneak attack, the martial arts alliance will definitely stop it.

"You were too impulsive yesterday, you shouldn't have threatened the Martial Arts League with the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty," Tianshu said flatly.

Her voice is cold and full of the magnetism of a mature woman.

"It's just to get a feel for the attitude of the Wulin League. Although Cao Qingyang doesn't want to enter, the Wulin League is still on the opposite side of Yueshi Villa." Tianji snorted coldly.

Last night, the attitude of Moge and the Shenquan gang made him extremely vigilant. If there were a lot of opposition voices within the Wulin League, then even if this giant in Jianzhou did not turn against Yueshi Villa, its combat power would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, he had to make a thorough investigation of the Wulin League. Of course, Xingshi's questioning of crimes is also true. If Cao Qingyang succumbs to the majesty of the court, then he has made the right bet.

On the contrary, although he took some risks, his assessment was correct, Cao Qingyang did not kill him.

As the leader of the alliance, no matter how rebellious and rebellious he is, he is different from the lonely and widowed people in the world, and he will have more things to consider.

The harvest is good, but the price is also huge. As a fourth-rank expert and one of the leaders of secret agents, he was humiliated and beaten by Cao Qingyang. Without a deep enough city, he really couldn't get out of the shadow of his heart for a while.

Tianji whispered: "We just need to provide fire support and open a gap for the land sect. The follow-up lotus seed competition is not our main purpose, but killing Xu Qi'an is. Understand."

Tianshu gave a "hmm" and said with a smile: "Last night, he performed Heaven and Earth Slash and Confucian magic. It is impossible to recover in just a few hours. If you don't kill now, let alone when."

As Huaiwang's spies, and now they are loyal to the emperor, they know Xu Qi'an like the back of their hands. Afterwards, based on the on-site analysis, evaluation, and the broken magic weapon on the young man with a mysterious background.

There is also the operation of teleporting suddenly in full view, using the talisman sword to kill two fourth-rank followers.

They preliminarily concluded that Xu Qi'an performed "Sword of Heaven and Earth" and Confucian magic, and according to the data, these two methods would require a huge price.

The three forces of Wulin League, Dizong, and King Huai's secret agents gathered together, and behind them, there were hundreds of onlookers from the world.

Some are pure casual cultivators, and some are small sects who come to fish in troubled waters.

After experiencing yesterday's small town raid, the enthusiasm of this group of people in the rivers and lakes was hit hard. On the one hand, he was afraid of the power of Yueshi Villa and recognized the reality.

On the other hand, Xu Qi'an's identity began to ferment, and his influence gradually deepened, making people even more fearful and afraid to be enemies with him.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, but unfortunately, this is not our stage." In the crowd, Liu Hu, who was leaning on a copper stick, sighed with emotion.

"Maybe there is still a chance to fish in troubled waters." A companion had hope.

"I calculated the combat strength of both sides yesterday. According to the apparent combat strength of Yueshi Villa, it is very different from the Martial Arts League, Dizong and those imperial masters."

"Not only is there a huge difference, don't forget, the Daoist chief of the Dizong hasn't shown up yet, so he's a second rank. If he comes, he will sweep the audience."

"In that case, we won't even have the chance to fish in troubled waters."

"Hey, do you think that if Xu Yinluo uses the strength of Buddhist martial arts, is there any hope of shaking the head of the sect?"

"Didn't it be said that in the battle of Buddhism, there are prisons who are secretly helping each other?"

"Let's just chat casually. I'm talking about Xu Yinluo's power in the Buddhist martial arts. Of course I know that the prison is helping secretly."

Mr. Liu held his sword and walked towards the girls in Wanhualou, with a worried expression on his face, he said, "Rongrong, I heard from Master that Yueshi Villa is just resisting stubbornly, and the chance of keeping the lotus seeds is not high."

Rongrong turned her head and looked at this friendly peer, but found that his gaze was scrutinizing the host's graceful back.

"Whether Yueshi Villa can protect the lotus seeds or not, I don't care." Rongrong said softly.

From Rongrong's point of view, Mr. Liu's eyes were extremely restrained. There is no way to do this, after all, such a stunning beauty as the landlord is too eye-catching, if any man does not peek, there will be problems.

"We have the same idea." Mr. Liu laughed.

This is also the thinking of most people, including the Wanhualou fairies present, whether Yueshi Villa can keep the lotus seeds, what has it to do with them?

As long as Xu Yinluo doesn't have any accidents, it will be fine.

They admire Xu Yinluo's righteousness, but they don't want to see him compromised by it, this does not conflict with their competition for lotus seeds.

Inside Yueshi Villa.

The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society gathered together, holding their magic weapons, and waiting in full force.

It was originally a mobilization meeting, but Taoist Bailian found that before the battle, the nervousness and fear of the disciples were more serious than expected.

Daoist Bailian stood in front of the disciples, and said softly, "According to the previous arrangement, just keep your position. Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, you don't need to deal with fourth-rank masters."

The disciples nodded, but their nervousness remained undiminished.

They are still young, and have hardly experienced a battle of this scale, no, it can even be called a war.

Seeing this, Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen continued to offer a few words of relief, but the effect was not great.

What's the use of shouting slogans? Xu Qi'an walked calmly with a saber in his hand, and he could clearly see the tension on their faces.

He stood in front of his disciples, leaning on a knife, and said calmly: "For you, this is actually an opportunity."

Qiu Chanyi and other disciples immediately looked at him and listened intently.

"What is the goal of the Tiandihui, you know better than me, who are you going to face in the future, don't I need to say more?" Xu Qi'an looked around the crowd.

The disciples nodded.

Of course they knew, but they were not fully prepared, nor did they have enough strength, and now they were fighting against the demons of the Dizong in advance, which made the young disciples feel panicked.

"When I took over the Sangbo case, I was in the same mood as you, uneasy and uneasy, and had no confidence in myself. But in the end I solved the case. Do you know why?"

Listening to Xu Yinluo talking about his own experience, the tension in the hearts of the disciples was relieved.

"Because compared to you, I have no retreat. At that time, I was sentenced to be cut in half for beheading my superiors. If I don't take the crime and make meritorious service, I will die."

Qiu Chanyi said crisply: "Master Xu, you did the right thing."

All the disciples quickly agreed.

"This is not a question of right or wrong, please understand my core meaning."

Xu Qi'an glared at the little Taoist aunt, and said in a deep voice: "I have no way out, so I can risk everything. Including when I was in Yunzhou, I blocked the rebels alone because there was no way out. The situation was very critical at that time, so I didn't fight , it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out."

Xu Qi'an talked eloquently and recounted his own experience. The disciples listened carefully. Later, their emotions were aroused, and they felt that their blood was slowly boiling.

Listening to the glorious deeds of the object of worship will produce a certain emotional resonance. What Xu Qi'an wanted was such resonance.

"Now you have a chance to fight to the death to defend Dizong's last dignity. After the Zongmen is restored in the future, each of you will be named in Dizong's Chronicle, and your legend will be immortalized forever."

Daoist Bailian was surprised to find that the disciples' emotions became agitated, excited, and fearless.

Sure enough, what a man of prestige says is right. Well, his rhetoric is also very skillful, combined with his own experience, to arouse the emotions of his disciples. Taoist Bailian looked at the young man standing with a knife, and felt inexplicably at ease.

I just feel that the other party is a reliable, trustworthy, and reassuring partner.

The two sides waited for each other, and countless people looked forward to it. Time passed by every minute and every second, and slowly, the sun rose to the top of their heads.

Around noon, in the depths of Yueshi Villa, a ray of light rose into the sky, and nine colors flickered slowly at the bottom of the pillar of ray.

lotus seeds are ripe

Tianji waved his hand and shouted, "Fire!"

On the steel body of the cannon, dense incantations lit up, and the next moment, the sound of the cannon firing was like thunder, with shocking power.

The huge recoil caused the heavy steel gun barrel to slide back, splashing a lot of clods.

Shhhhhhh

In the shrill screaming sound, one after another shells crossed a perfect parabola and slammed into the gas shield outside Yueshi Villa.

It was a semi-circular gas mask covering the entire mountain villa, which was translucent and clear. The shells exploded on the surface of the gas mask with dazzling flames, and the shock wave raged like a hurricane.

Outside the villa, at the eye of the first layer of defensive formation, Nangong Qianrou's face was flushed, and every explosion of a cannonball seemed to explode on his body, shaking his blood and blood, and a fishy sweetness in his throat.

His body surface was flickering with divine light, and the air machine was continuously input, maintaining the stability of the air mask.

"This, what kind of formation is this? The defense is so strong that it can withstand such dense artillery."

The surrounding forces were dumbfounded.

Artillery is an important means for the Dafeng court to dominate Kyushu and deter all parties, and their lethality is beyond doubt.

Twenty cannons fired in unison, and the fourth-rank martial artist had to lose half his life. But the defensive formation in front of him only showed violent shocks.

This means that the defensive power of the formation is stronger than the physical body of a fourth-rank martial artist.

"This reminds me of the defense formation of the main city on the border. How could Yueshi Villa have such a strong formation?"

"By the way, warlocks participated in the battle last night." Someone suddenly realized.

No wonder the defensive formation of Yueshi Villa is so powerful.

"emission!"

Tianji spoke calmly, and gave the second round of shooting instructions.

As Huaiwang's secret agent, he had served in the northern border for many years, and he could see the reality of the formation at a glance, and he could sustain three rounds of bombing at most. And the amount of shells they carried this time was sufficient, even if they razed Yuezhi Mountain Villa to the ground, it would not be a problem.

"Hold the moon and pick the stars, there is no one like me in the world!"

The deep chant suddenly sounded, and amidst the dense artillery fire, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of the heroes.

They turned their heads in surprise, followed the sound, and saw a white-clothed warlock standing on the south hillside, with the back of his head facing the crowd.

He raised his foot, stomped lightly, and the pattern of light lit up.

Cannons and crossbows were set up around him, and the muzzles and bolts of the cannons turned, aiming at the people below.

Tianshu's face changed, and he scolded, "Back!"

boom boom boom

boom boom boom

Groups of fireballs swelled and exploded, blasting twelve cannons into pieces in an instant, turning the area into wasteland. Not only that, but the artillery and crossbows also covered the "melon-eating masses".

But I don't know if it was intentional or if there was a problem with the aim, the artillery only exploded near the crowd, and the frightened people in the rivers and lakes ran away with their heads in their hands, trembling, but no one was killed.

On the contrary, nearly half of the more than twenty Huaiwang spies were destroyed in the artillery fire. This was the result of Tianshu and Tianji noticing the crisis in advance and ordering a retreat.

While fleeing in a hurry, Mr. Liu couldn't help but look back, doubts arose in his heart.

If that warlock had sneaked just now, he would definitely be able to create a perfect killing effect. Why did he have to chant a poem?

"It's too strong, a high-grade warlock is too powerful"

"Yeah, this is the power that Wu Fu will never be able to touch."

After getting rid of the artillery bombardment, people from all schools and sects of the Wulin League and scattered people from Jianghu stopped and looked back at the scene with lingering fear.

and then found out

"The high-grade warlock has shown mercy, and the artillery deliberately avoided the crowd."

"Is this warning us?"

"Now that the artillery of those men in black robes has been destroyed, and the defensive formation is still there, how do they plan to attack?"

This is indeed a thorny question. In mid-air, Daoist Chilian, who was stepping on a flying sword, said loudly: "Mr. Cao, how long do you plan to watch the show? The lotus seeds are about to mature, and we quickly joined forces to break the formation."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome!"

A streak of purple clothes came from the sky, like a shooting star passing by, hitting the air shield straight.

The spherical air mask slumped violently, and it only lasted for less than two seconds before it shattered and turned into a breeze, stirring up dust.

Nangong Qianrou vomited a mouthful of blood, her pretty face was full of astonishment.

"Huh"

In the distance, Yang Qianhuan let out a surprised "Huh".

The formation was broken like this. Seeing this scene, the heroes outside the field were a little at a loss for a moment. When did Leader Cao become so powerful?

With just one blow, the formation that even twenty cannons could not tear apart was destroyed.

Third product? !

Tianji and Tianshu stared at each other in astonishment. They followed Zhenbei Wang's horse and horse, and they were all too familiar with the aura of a third-rank master.

Although not as thick and powerful as King Zhenbei, this aura gave them a strong sense of sight.

"Three grades?"

Daoist Chilian was taken aback for a moment, and stood in the air, looking deeply at the purple robe: "Cao Qingyang, when did you get promoted to the third rank?"

These words were like a boulder smashing into the crowd, causing an uproar.
