The housekeeper is not easy to do, and the person in charge is not easy to act.
In just a few days, Lu Mingyuan not only squeezed out several white hairs, but even wrinkles between his eyebrows were about to appear.
As the vanguard of the Zuo Lu Army, in addition to the subordinates of the Hundred Ghosts, there are also well-chosen people from various martial arts who are skilled and well-preserved. Such people have the ability and know how to measure, but they are all a little arrogant. The two people who were competent for the commander of Zuo Jun went to Mizunling to explore the wind first, and they had no choice but to be short in charge of the task, and drove the chattering duck Lu Mingyuan to the shelves.
When Lu Mingyuan received the appointment, he wanted to cover his face and ran to express that he was incapable of this task. As a result, Qu Jin and Qin Lanshang took three sticks and knelt down in the house to repent.
Qu Jin asked: "Mingyuan, you are already in your prime, and you are no longer a child who can escape and avoid, why do you refuse to bear the heavy responsibility?"
Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Qu, this action is full of heroes, regardless of martial arts or seniority, it is not the turn of Mingyuan to call the shots!"
Qu Jin squinted his eyes: "Because they are not the generals, they can't be the leader of the left army. Otherwise, they are eager to fight together, and I am afraid that they will fight in the nest before waiting for the enemy."
If Lu Mingyuan is replaced, the situation is different.
He is a disciple of Nanru Ruan Feiyu's gate, martial arts high and powerful, wise and wise, he has followed Qu Jin and other academic teachers to walk the rivers and lakes when he was young, plus the family behind him as a reliance, even if not everyone in the martial arts He has to give him a bit of face, and what is lacking at this time is not the strategic decision-maker, but the balancer who can get it right.
On this thought, he looked at Lu Mingyuan: "The most famous among the left army is Zhao Tonghua of the Jiuxiao School. If this person is in charge, when someone in the team raises objections to the action, what do you think he will do? "
Lu Mingyuan thought for a moment: "The Jiuxiao School has a high prestige in the White Road. Senior Zhao's martial arts have a strong temperament. If there is a difference in life, he will forcefully suppress the rebuttal and ensure that the order is issued."
"What if you change?"
Lu Mingyuan was startled and said: "From the perspective of a disciple, there are two big differences in personnel, one is the benefit and the other is the concept. If it is the former, then he will use his own thoughts and be guided by the kindness of his heart. If the interests are divided in exchange for what is needed, then you have to choose between advances and retreats. If it is the latter, the situation should be understood. Those who do big things should be aware of the overall situation of personal affairs. They should act smart on the edge of dissent, know things urgently and follow power, and keep the bottom line in mind. ."
Qu Jin's face was solemn: "What if they still refuse to accept it?"
Lu Mingyuan said: "The only one who can teach you how to behave is the sophistication. Even if they are dissatisfied, as long as I am right, you will learn to obey if you lose."
Qu Jin asked: "In order to prove your right or wrong, is it necessary to pay the price?"
"No setbacks do not grow, but I alone cannot make a big deal, so I will prepare for setbacks before paying the price to ensure that the interests of more people will not be lost." Lu Mingyuan said seriously, " The world has said that “to fight the enemy first, get inside”, but the strong enemy is what the blade refers to. No matter how many differences we have within us, we all have common interests. As long as we grasp this point, we can be consistent when confronting the enemy. "
Before he finished speaking, Qu Jin slapped him on the head: "In that case, don't hurry up!"
Lu Mingyuan: "..."
Qin Lanshang, who was eavesdropping outside, laughed into a ball.
This is indeed not a good job, but if Lu Mingyuan agrees to do it, he will do his best. From Garan City to this point, the waterways rushed along the way. Even with the help of the "Water Ghosts" and the "Sabaya Gang", such a large team was still hiding its head and showing its tail. As soon as it entered the hinterland of Xichuan, it was ambushed three times a day. The terrain consideration route is enough to cause headaches. Fortunately, Lu Mingyuan is clever, asks good questions, and discards the integrated clues.
In addition, the several recent attacks also made Lu Mingyuan have to take care of him. Qin Lanshang sorted out all the information that Baiguimen's subordinates had found from the corpses and handed it to him, and found that these people were from Xichuan. The demon sects in various places are not considered as scattered and disorderly rabble crowds, but they are forced to them one after another. If it hadn't been for Lu Mingyuan to change the route three times in a row and set the suspects to take part of the ambush, he would have been filled with dumplings.
"This is weird. We are not Tang Seng meat who is fragrant for ten miles. Why are these guys bitten by these guys?" Qin Lan Chang's face is tired. After all, she is a young daughter. Home, even if you have experienced a series of accidents to form a rudimentary body, it will be more shocking than the unpredictable old rivers and lakes.
Lu Mingyuan broke the steamed bun in his hand, tore off the softest lining and handed it to her. While gnawing on the dry steamed bun skin, he twisted his eyebrows and thought.
This time the Baidao coalition attacked Mizongling, the wind has already been released, and it is indeed reasonable to be blocked by the people in the magic road. However, in a short time, several waves of forces have converged from the four directions. Lu Mingyuan didn't believe it at all when people were making ghosts.
His temperament does not mean that his methods are weak. The few hard bones in the team are restrained by him with reason and action. The remaining areas that may be overlooked are also taken care of by credible people early, not to mention these The three turns of the Tian's route were all temporarily changed based on the actual situation, even if there was a secretive rat who leaked the wind, it was hard to predict.
If the news is not leaked from the team, it means that in addition to those magic ways, there is a third pair of eyes hidden in the dark to stare at their every move.
If this is the case, Lu Mingyuan will be even more puzzled, because although the series of fierce battles are difficult, they also helped him to adapt the conceptual power of everyone in the team. From the beginning of his mind to the current overall situation, it is not a good thing. .
The other party seems to have deliberately provoked a conflict between them and the magic way, forcing the two sides to deviate from the original route to the Wandering Ridge, and wrestle in a stalemate surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Lu Mingyuan is not sure about the position of the people in the dark, and he and the several sharp-minded people in the team are tacitly aware of each other.
Qin Lanchang finished the steamed buns and looked at his wrinkled eyebrows, her mouth suddenly felt a little bitter.
The smelly scholar is still pretty when he smiles and talks, so he frowns and doesn't say a word, like a thoughtful little old man. She thought so, but didn't know what she could do to help. At this moment, a "water ghost" emerged from the water and stood wet in front of her, saying: "Miss, there is no road ahead. ."
"What?!" Qin Lanshang abruptly got up, and the boat shook suddenly, shocking Lu Mingyuan back to his senses.
"Speak clearly."
"Water Ghost" said: "The subordinates were ordered to explore the way, and found that the main river to the'Autumn Water Dock' had been blocked by chains, and nets were also set up underwater, which seemed to be the work of the waterway gang."
Lu Mingyuan frowned: "There is no other way than the Surabaya Gang to set up such a hand-crafted waterway here. However, we can go all the way here, thanks to their great help, why on earth change?"
Qin Lanshang only hates people who don’t have the gang of Surabaya in the team, otherwise there is a question now. She held her anger and asked: "Can you destroy the level?"
The "Water Ghost" shook his head: "From the experience of his subordinates, there are at least seven levels ahead, including seven dangerous places such as downhills, corners, and canyons. Only by this trip, more than ten "water ghosts" Protecting hundreds of people to survive safely is really difficult."
Qin Lanchang gritted her teeth secretly and looked at Lu Mingyuan: "Shall we take a detour?"
Lu Mingyuan shook his head: "Abandoning water from the mountain is not impossible, but we have to figure out what's going on in the waterway, otherwise we will just throw in the trap if we rush into the mountain."
Qin Lanshang suddenly hesitated.
Lu Mingyuan turned his head and asked Zhao Tonghua: "Senior, where is the branch rudder of the'Sishui Gang' nearest to this place?"
Zhao Tonghua said: “In the town, I’m afraid it’s too late if I want to return to find them. However, compared with sub-rudder on land, such water gangs also pay attention to the control of the waters, whether they are on the water or underwater. , All have their own layout. If you want to contact the people of Surabaya, it is better to make a mark on the water."
Lu Mingyuan understood, found a cowhide sac, fastened it tightly with a slender rope, and attached a fan pendant with the words "Sanmai" engraved on it, and gave it to the "water ghost".
The "water ghost" tied it to the underwater dark net in front. The cowhide sac is not sinking in water, but it can make the fan fall ingeniously hidden under the water. It looks like ordinary drifting things in the blink of an eye, but it can set a checkpoint For people, there is a risk of exposing the dark web.
As long as they go to investigate, they will find a fan drop underwater.
If you are an enemy, you will meet in a narrow way; if you are friends, you must believe and meet. Either way, it's better than confused.
An hour later, Lu Mingyuan saw a bamboo raft floating against the current from a distance.
There are two people on the boat, a man and a woman. The man has dark skin and thick hands and feet. At first sight, he is an expert living on the water; the woman is dressed in a black hooded gown, which seems to have turned into a shadow in the night, almost not noticed by Lu Mingyuan’s eyesight she was.
However, when she took off her hood to show her face, someone in the team exclaimed: "Girl with sleeves?!"
Neither Lu Mingyuan nor Qin Lanshang have seen Yingsiu, but they have heard of Mingzhu Gambling Shop.
Yingxiu was covered in dust, with a tired face that couldn't be concealed. She held the fan pendant in her hand and set her eyes on Lu Mingyuan as she swept across the crowd, knowing that this young scholar belonged to the white left army. Person in charge.
She smiled slightly: "The night is cold and windy, and the water is misty. It's not as good as Lu Gongzi, although I will go ashore, how about?"
Qin Lanshang hasn't said anything, Lu Mingyuan has already replied: "The girl's suggestion is good, but unfortunately I don't spend my life alone with three kinds of people."
"Which three kinds of people?"
"The courtesy and justice are different, the enemy is opposite, and the intention is unknown."
The smile at the corner of Yingsleeve's mouth slowly fell. She stared behind Lu Mingyuan. Everyone looked different, but they didn't say a word, obviously waiting for Lu Mingyuan's next sentence.
The descendants of Nanru are as good as their teachers.
Her lips did not move, and her voice was gathered into Lu Mingyuan’s ears: "Yes, it was I who planted hidden piles along the main road to observe your every move. It was I who sent someone to Conflict with you. I asked Surabaya to help in the next checkpoint in the waterway ahead, not only to intercept you, but also to intercept other magic sects. One counts as one, and no one will want to enter Mizongling within two days."
Lu Mingyuan's brows wrinkled fiercely.
"Why did she do this?" After hearing Lu Mingyuan's words, Xuan Su couldn't help being curious anymore and asked.
As soon as Di Yourong died, his men fell like a tree and scattered. However, Miss Baiguimen said nothing, and did not intend to leave them alive. Even the Baidao people behind Xuan Su and them also planned to cut the grass and root. .
Snake fights do not die but suffer from it. No one wants to harm others because of temporary weakness.
Under this situation, the two armies met, and each deployed behind them to rectify the communication. Lu Mingyuan, Qin Lanshang, Xuan Su and Hengyuan deviated from a certain distance and came here to exchange information.
Hengyuan asked in more detail: "How is the waterway situation now?"
Lu Mingyuan said: "I have left the main force of the Left Army in Qiushuiwu, which is the main waterway leading to the Soul Burial Palace. I have encountered several waves of magical powers in a day, and the Sprite Gate is one of them. Fortunately, Qiushui The dock is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We are gathered together, with the help of ghost doctors and poisonous miasma, so we can be safe for the time being."
"She set up a checkpoint to intercept you, why did she send you to Qiushuiwu again?" Xuan Su felt even more puzzled. "Moreover, since the left army is camping in Qiushuiwu, why did you show up here with a team of people? ?"
Qin Lanchang said: "In order to chase and kill Di Yourong."
Heng Yuan squinted his eyes: "The poor monk thought that both the Samadhi Academy and the Hundred Ghosts should know the truth of "the poor should not chase the poor"."
Lu Mingyuan sighed: "I don't want to do this laboriously, but now the situation has changed, and I must not let them go."
Xuan Su was startled: "What happened?"
"I heard that the'Bad of Gu Poison' appeared on Wenchan Mountain..." Lu Mingyuan raised his eyes, his tone dignified, "Helianyu can use the poison to question Chan Mountain so far, wouldn't he be in the old lair? Reapply?"
Xuansu and Hengyuan have a double color change!
"You should have found traces of corpse water in the woods. That is indeed what we did." Lu Mingyuan recalled the events of this day and couldn’t help feeling sorrow and anger. "Among the corpses that were destroyed, there were burials. There are secret guests in the soul palace, there are people in the magic way, and there are also... our Zuojun Tongze."
"This..."
Hengyuan's eyes were cold, his mind turned quickly: "Those people are all infected with the poison?"
Xuan Su was startled. He saw Qin Lanchang's face pale, and Lu Mingyuan nodded painfully.
The information he received from Yingxiu was passed on to the two people, including Ye Fusheng’s plan and entrustment, and he said, “I’m half-believing. After all, this action is like using troops. If you miss an emergency, you may delay your fighter. , So they agreed to go to Qiushuiwu to check the situation first, and not enter Mizongling for the time being, and then..."
They met Sun Minfeng in Qiushuiwu, and several soul-burial palace people who ran wildly from the Lost Ridge.
At that time, Di Yourong and other demon men and horses also broke through the checkpoint and arrived at Qiushuiwu. The two sides were anxiously fighting there, and they were suddenly attacked by these uninvited guests, regardless of the enemy and me. If Sun Minfeng had not been prepared, I am afraid that the people who were hit by the poison More than that.
"If I didn’t guess wrong, the people who were carrying the poison were bait specially released by the Soul Burial Palace, but I didn’t expect to encounter us in Qiushuiwu." Lu Mingyuan twisted his eyebrows, "Although there are grandchildren. Mr.’s help, there are more than a dozen people on our side who have been infected with the poison, especially the Demon Dao. We dare not kill in the water, lest the poison drifts down the water and cause disasters, so we have to let Mr. Sun and the girl Yingxiu lead the left army. The main force guarded the Qiushuiwu dock to take precautions against the front and back. Then Lan Chang and I led the poisoned person and the magic way to the mountain road, and took advantage of the terrain to kill the dead. The dead were dissolved with corpse water to avoid leaving poison, but we still let Di You Rong and others ran out of the encirclement, but fortunately they met you."
Xuan Su's ten fingers clenched tightly: "Can't be saved?"
"Now the poisonous people who flowed out of the Mistral Ridge are cleaned by us, but when the two armies of good and evil arrive one after another, even if we can prevent the Qiushuiwu, we cannot stop the remaining three sides. In this way, even if we Nine deaths for a lifetime, I’m afraid it’s a symptom and not a cure.” Lu Mingyuan drew a simple map on the soil with a branch. “For the current plan, we can only try to move the first battlefield to the outside of Mizun Ridge in advance, and will bury it before the threat of evil is removed The soul palace is sealed off, otherwise the more people break into it, the more disastrous it will be after death and injury."
Hengyuan knows: "So you need us to join hands."
Lu Mingyuan nodded: "At the moment, the left army is holding the throat of the water. If there is a Chinese army guarding the mountain road guard post, the two roads will not work until we are exhausted; the right army will go on the official road and will arrive at the Mizong Ridge tomorrow morning. Outside the front mountain, counting time from intelligence, it can happen to meet the demon army on a narrow road."
Xuan Su frowned and said: "However, at that time, the impeded demon powers and the soul-burial palace people who sensed the wind in the Lost Ridge will not let go of the previous opportunity to fish in the troubled mountains. If they gather together Even if we can win the war, I’m afraid we will inevitably go wrong."
Qin Lanshang heard this and accepted the stubborn words: "I have sent someone from the nearest Baiguimen sub-rudder to transfer a batch of sky-shaking thunders, and they can be deployed at the Qianshan Tianmo before tonight. Properly, if you really get to that point, you will come and burn the jade, even if you are torn to pieces with those harmful things, don't tell them to leave Mizongling for half a step!"
Lu Mingyuan patted her on the shoulder and looked at Xuansu and Hengyuan: "If you have any objections, it is still too late."
Hengyuan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "If you live for the common people, you will never regret the nine deaths. Now that we have this last resort, then we have to make preparations in the early stage to surround the Mishang Ridge. Whether it is intercepting and killing the enemy or responding to the first movers inside at any time, there must be no mistake."
Lu Mingyuan’s eyes were hot, and Xuan Su raised his head and said: "A righteous act does not speak of personal selfishness. When a life is at odds with righteousness, I shall give up my life for righteousness. However, sacrifice is not the value of life. It’s what we should do if we live. On Wenchan Mountain, I have also dealt with Gu. Although this thing is fierce, it is not without weakness."
Lu Mingyuan and Qin Lanshang were shocked together, Hengyuan doubted: "Dao Master Xuan Su said, is it the longevity Gu?"
Xuan Su nodded: "Yes, this thing is the King of Ten Thousand Gus, and the source of Gu poison in Mizong Ridge. Although there is no matriarchal link, it has a great influence on them. If there is a longevity Gu in hand , You can find the location of the Gu cave and destroy them in one fell swoop before they burst out."
Hengyuan did not see joy: "But the only two longevity Gus in the world are already..."
Xuan Su's voice became very light at this moment: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, even if it is vague, you can't give up lightly. Now Duan Qing, Fu Sheng and Chu Sect Master are all in the Lost Ridge for this The front line has worked hard, why can't we trust them once?"
As a chivalrous person, he should do his best for righteousness and do his best for his relatives and friends. Even if the wind and rain on this night are like obscurity, we must wait until dawn before the cold blade and blood run out.
Quiet in the four quarters, until Qin Lanchang laughed out loud, her daughter’s temperament is used to being coquettish, and she stood up at this time, her eyebrows were slightly drooping, like a lotus blooming under the wide leaves. The first petal comes.
"Of course. Uncle and the others are so powerful, how can they not do anything?" She leaned down, resting her hands on Lu Mingyuan's shoulders, smiling like a flower, "Smelly scholar, you can laugh, it's ugly to cry. "
Lu Mingyuan raised his head, she was reflected in his eyes, and it was so full that he couldn't even squeeze in the sky full of night.
The frowning eyebrows that had been frowning since he knew the gu disaster finally loosened, and he smiled at Qin Lanshang: "Okay, I will laugh with you and wait for dawn."
Hengyuan looked at the three of them, slowly put his palms together, smiled and said: "Amitabha, good and good."
