Chapter 664: Surrounding the Wei to Save Zhao (3249/100,000)

Sun Xuanji?

A disciple of the Superintendent?

The officials scrutinized Sun Xuanji, surprised and puzzled.

Not everyone recognizes the low-profile senior brother Sun, in addition to Xu New Year here, as well as the three great Confucian scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy, a group of officials simply do not know the figure of Sun Xuanji.

Therefore, Yuan’s “explanation” plays a crucial role.

Why can this person know what I think in my heart ……….. Xu New Year gave a hard “cough” and said as he got up and walked towards Sun Xuanji:

“This is the second senior brother of the Si Tian Supervisor, the Supervisor Zheng’s second disciple, Sun Xuanji.”

“It’s actually a disciple of the Supervisor, I’m sorry to have missed you!” The officials nodded their heads in greeting.

Xu New Year added, “Third grade warlock.”

Clattering ……. The sound of chairs sliding was neat and consistent, and the civil officials, led by Yang Gong, and the military generals, led by Zhou Mi, rose hastily.

“Senior Brother Sun, I’ve heard a lot about you!”

“Senior Brother Sun came to my Qingzhou, he should have greeted us in advance so that we can have a big banquet.”

“When I was in Qingzhou, I had heard that Master Sun was a contemporary master of the Sitian Supervision, and I had long admired him, but I was unable to see him, and today I have my wish, and I have no regrets in death.”

Inside the council chamber, the atmosphere instantly warmed up. The faces of the officials and military generals were filled with eager smiles.

Yang Gong pressed his hand, the inner hall was quiet, Ziyang Jushi stroked his beard and smiled, saying:

“Brother Sun came to aid Qingzhou?”

Although Sun Xuanji was a third grade magician, he was much younger than Yang Gong, and as a Confucian scholar with a sense of propriety, he was unable to open his mouth and call out “Senior Brother Sun”.

Sun Xuanji nodded.

Seeing the situation, the hall of the officials face more joy, just now still tugging at the issue of war power, because of the Buddha’s powerful worry.

In the blink of an eye, there was also a Transcendent Realm Warlock on his side.

Although the officials here are not cultivators, they are extremely knowledgeable about warlocks, and warlocks who are proficient in practicing qi and formations are by no means comparable to crude martial artists in terms of the mass lethality that erupts on the battlefield.

Yang Gong immediately ordered people to move seats and let Sun Xuanji sit beside him, as for Protector Yuan, he was very sensible and stood by the side of Senior Brother Sun.

As the crowd resumed their seats, Yang Gong asked:

“What about the overseer’s side?”

Sun Xuanji glanced at Protector Yuan, who understood, his clear blue eyes scrutinized for a moment, and said in a mouthful of broken Da Feng official language:

“Teacher will hold back Garuda Tree Bodhisattva and Eldest Brother, and you only need to keep Qingzhou.”

The crowd did not ask more questions, that level of fighting is not theirs to intervene, knowing that the Supervisor can hold back the rebel army’s transcendent masters will be able to.

This Sun Xuanji has not been too lonely and arrogant ……… Instead, Sun Xuanji s attitude has attracted the bellyaching of the top management of Qingzhou.

Zhang Shen, however, frowned:

“Supervising Zheng can hold back the Garuda Tree Bodhisattva, but he cannot hold back the rest of the Bodhisattvas and Rohan of Aranta. When the Western armies arrive, the situation will be worrisome.”

The civil officials and military generals were so sad that even the smiles on their faces were curtailed.

They are actually not afraid to fight a war that they can’t see hope for, or, a war that they have already seen the end of.

When Sun Xuanji heard this, he immediately looked at Protector Yuan.

The latter was also looking at him, and, catching the sound of his heart, said:

“Don’t pay attention to the Buddhist Sect, they’re too busy to take care of themselves, even if they send troops to attack the Great Fathers, they won’t be in large numbers, much less send out Transcendent Realm powerhouses.”

Yang Gong looked stunned.

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai also frowned.

The high-ranking officials at the table looked at each other in dismay, and for a moment they were unable to understand what Protector Yuan meant.

After a few seconds, the Qingzhou governor tried:

“Your Excellency said that you need not pay attention to the Buddhist sect?”

Protector Yuan nodded his head.

Capital Commander Zhou Mi added:

“Self-care?”

Protector Yuan nodded again.

There was a silence in the chamber, and for a brief moment no one spoke, and the faces of the officials showed odd and complicated expressions, the kind that can’t wait to follow up on a question, but are afraid that they’ll be too pushy and scare that answer away.

The Qingzhou governor couldn’t help but lower his voice and asked in a slightly trembling voice:

“What is the meaning of this?”

Zhang Shen suddenly said:

“Then again, why is there a demon race around Brother Sun?”

Protector Yuan took another sideways glance at Sun Xuanji, capturing his heart and said:

“I’ve just returned from the southern border, and I’ve teamed up with Xu Qi’an to unseal the seal of the Buddha Sect’s great enemy, and the Southern Demon will take the opportunity to raise an army to attack the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and reclaim the country. If the Buddha Sect sends a large army eastward, it will play right into the Southern Demon’s hands.”

Just back from South of the Border ………

Teaming up with Xu Yinluo to unseal a great Buddhist enemy ………

The Southern Demon is about to be restored and reclaim its old lands, and the Buddhists are left to fend for themselves ………..

The officials in the hall were dumbfounded by this happy news that fell from the sky, and were stupefied, not coming back to their senses for a long time.

“So it is!”

Yang Gong sighed tersely as realization dawned on him:

“I said why Xu Ningyan didn’t come to Qingzhou to hold down the fort, it turns out that he already had a plan, sneaking to the southern border to burn down the Buddha Sect’s backyard. Uniting the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to hold the Buddhist Sect in check, wonderful, wonderful!”

Zhang Shen shook his head slightly, “Ning Banquet is worthy of being a great master of the art of war, he knows how to strategize, it is really admirable. In this way, the greatest crisis of Da Feng has been solved.”

Li Mubai lamented, “Wei Yuan has a successor.”

At this time, the Qingzhou senior management completely back to taste, the military generals excited to clap the table, civil officials face full of smiles, the crowd inexplicably have a shoulder light, the feeling of darkness.

Big brother, without realizing it, has done another big thing ……… Xu New Year was busy asking:

“Is my elder brother injured, and why did he not come with you.”

Protector Yuan said in place of Sun Xuanji:

“He is still in the southern border, and in a short period of time, he will not come to Qingzhou.”

Xu Yinluo has to ensure that the southern demon uprising goes smoothly ……… The officials nodded.

When Protector Yuan finished, he said, “Why do you only mention Xu Qi An and not ……….”

He suddenly couldn’t speak, his face was red, he couldn’t breathe, and he covered his throat, looking like he was about to choke to death.

The White Ape Protector shook his head vigorously towards Sun Xuanji, indicating that he wouldn’t talk nonsense.

“Hoo Hoo ……..”

He regained his breath then, gasping for air, his chest heaving violently.

The crowd didn’t understand the scene, but had the sense not to ask, and Yang Gong laughed:

“Inform the generals about this and boost their morale, but I’ve heard that the frontline generals are looking forward to Ning Yan sitting in Qingzhou.”

The legend of Xu Qi’an killing off the 200,000 troops of the Witch God Cult and taking the head of the enemy general at the Yu Yang Pass with one man and one sword was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the soldiers who fought in the sandy fields and held him in the highest regard.

The generals of Qingzhou, too, longed for Xu Yinluo to come to Qingzhou, one man and one sword, to kill back the district’s 60,000 rebels.

“Yes, go quickly!”

The Governor of Qingzhou laughed, “The occupation of the nine border counties by the rebels has greatly demoralized our generals, so it’s a good time to publicize this matter to boost the military’s morale and stabilize the hearts of the people.”

The importance of mind building cannot be ignored when the battle is unfavorable.

……….

Inside White Sand County.

A three-entry compound with a back garden.

In the gazebo, by the stone table, the white-robed warlock sits and drinks tea opposite the robe-clad bodhisattva with half of his chest exposed.

“I didn’t expect that while the Great Bong’s national power has been weakened to this day, Teacher Supervisor Zheng still has this kind of strength, I’ve never underestimated him, but I’ve still underestimated him.”

Xu Pingfeng’s face was slightly pale.

Garuda Tree Bodhisattva held the tealight, his voice thick:

“Back then, the Primordial Supervisor was able to fight three with one and not lose. It wasn’t until Wu Zong broke through the capital and beheaded the dimwitted ruler that he lost his power and was beheaded by us.

“Now, with the strength of the two of us, we are already in a stalemate with him, which is already commendable. You should know that it is impossible for the Buddha Sect to allow another Bodhisattva to come to your aid. Bodhisattva Guangxian believes that the Southern Demon will take advantage of this opportunity to rise up and take back the 100,000 mountains in the Southern Border.”

Xu Pingfeng nodded slowly:

“It is true that the Southern Demons have not yet exhausted their energy. However, without a territory, they are like a castle in the air, and as long as they survive for another 500 years, the Southern Demon’s qi will come to an end.

“When will the Buddhist Sect send troops east to Leizhou?”

The Way of the Garuda Tree Bodhisattva:

“When the Duo Luo Han has finished gathering his troops, he will contact me. When I entered the Central Plains, the countries in the Western Regions were already preparing grain and military supplies. I think it will be in the near future.”

Xu Pingfeng nodded, “This is very good, the two armies are in close proximity to each other, and in less than three months, they will be able to fight their way to the capital. When I refine my qi all the way to the capital, Teacher Supervisor Zheng will be powerless to return to heaven.”

He asked, smiling and taking a sip of his tea:

“Is the southern border ready?”

Garuda Tree Bodhisattva nodded, “With Asura sitting atop the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, even if the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox himself arrived, he couldn’t do anything about it.”

Xu Pingfeng let out a laugh.

At that moment, Garosu put down his tea and stretched out his right hand, palm flat.

A flash of golden light rose from the center of his palm and transformed into a golden bowl, within which a soft golden curtain of light shot out.

In the curtain of light, a young monk with red lips and white teeth sat in a platter, his face solemn:

“Gara Tree, something has happened on the southern border.”

The young monk’s voice was indistinct and empty, as if it came from the sky, and it was impossible to hear whether it was male or female, young or old.

Garuda Tree Bodhisattva’s face did not change, “What is it?”

The young monk said:

“Xu Qi’an and Sun Xuanji teamed up to defeat Asura, broke the Sealed Tower, and took away Shenshu’s limbs.”

Xu Pingfeng narrowed his eyes, and in the tealight in his hand, the tea rippled.

Garuda Tree Bodhisattva slowly said, “How did he do it.”

Without replying, the young monk continued:

“I’ve already had Du’er return to Alanta and set up troops on the southern border to guard against the return of the Southern Demon.

“The right arm of Shenshu, which was sealed in Sangpo, was freed in the Sangpo case. The left arm, which was sealed in the Floating Pagoda, has been taken away by the Buddha’s son. The torso has long since fallen into the hands of the Nine-Tailed Fox. And now that Shenshu’s legs have been lost again, the body has been assembled except for the head.

“As I expected correctly, recapturing the Hundred Thousand Mountains is only the first step of the Southern Demons, who will take advantage of your absence during the period of time that you are not in Arlanda to attack Arlanda.

“The plans for the eastern expedition are canceled, and I can only send 20,000 elites to attack Leizhou as a nuisance.

“Thou art well pleased.”

The young monk’s figure disappeared into a curtain of golden light.

Bodhisattva Galaxia Tree and Xu Pingfeng were silent.

………..

Inside the urn at the head of the city, the generals who were discussing the military were welcomed by the reporting soldiers.

“Great General!”

The soldier bowed and cupped his fists, saying, “The State Master has sent word that the Western Region will send two armies of elites to nuisance the border of Leizhou as a check, but will not cooperate with us in our attack on Dafeng.”

The faces of the battalion generals stagnated.

Qi Guangbo said in a deep voice, “Why?”

The soldier said, “Xu Qi’an will unite with the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and attack the Southern Border, as well as Alanta. The Buddha Sect is staging an army and has no time to spare.”

“What?”

“Surname Xu is going to attack Aranta?”

“What right does he have, attacking Alanta with his mere third ranked martial artist?”

“The Buddhist Sect is taking him too seriously.”

The generals of the battalions were greatly alarmed and spoke with indignation.

Xu Qi An …….. Ji Xuan’s face sank and his fists clenched.

…………

Ending the meeting, the hungry Xu Xinxin went straight to the inner hall.

At this time, lunch had already passed, and he didn’t even have time to eat breakfast today, so he accompanied his mentor, Zhang Shen, to attend a meeting to discuss the military with the senior management of Qingzhou.

By now it’s starving front and back.

Stepping over the threshold to the inner hall of the Buzhengji Department, Xu Xinxin saw a table with cups and plates in disarray, with the dishes licked clean.

A table full of food, not even broth left for him.

This sister don t want it ……… and Lina, the capital has no place for her ……… Xu New Year silently turned away.

…………

PS: I’ll pay back a chapter first, and summarize it at the end of the month to see how much I can pay back this month.
