After a long time, a woman dressed in a black and white silk feather dress asked, "Who is the master blocking the way?"

The man with a face like a skeleton lit two flames in his eyes, shrunk his body, took out a bone staff, and was on full alert.

Shao Yuanjie smiled lightly, and the laughter suddenly crossed the land of Lixu, and suddenly exploded in the ears of these two, blowing up the silk feathers on the woman's neon dress and making the fire in the man's eyes almost extinguished.

These two people were shocked inexplicably, and said in their hearts, what kind of master is this, and the power of a smile is like this! Hurriedly exerted their whole body cultivation, and only then could they survive without being injured on the spot.

Shao Yuanjie said slowly: "You two are demon cultivators from the East China Sea, don't fight the idea of this big array, it's not easy to transform into shape, so I won't embarrass you today, go back quickly." ”

The neon dress nun said in a trembling voice: "We were invited by the Lord of Hongze to come to the double cultivation ceremony, and there is no malice, why did the Taoist master drive me away?"

The skeleton male cultivator was a little angry: "I walked my own way, where is the obstacle to the Dao Chief?"

"It's time to get in the way!"

Shao Yuanjie rubbed his fingers, and neither side moved a step, but the distance between them suddenly narrowed, from outside Li Xu to close at hand!

His sleeves were rolled up, and they were already wrapped around the waists of the two of them, and with a slight shake, the two of them were thrown out, crossing the sky like meteors, and flying straight to the east for more than ten miles before falling.

A voice followed in my ear: "Return quickly, you are not allowed to set foot on land for half a step in three months!"

The two of them turned pale with fright, did not dare to stay, and ran wildly towards the East China Sea.

Shao Yuanjie exhaled a breath, and the grass in front of him immediately smoked, he shook his head, got up, and walked back towards Hongze Lake.

......

Zhao Ran settled in front of the gate of the Longtan Guard Camp, and stood still under the light of Diao Dou: "Tired and tired to command Zhang, poor Zhao Zhiran." ”

Zhang Luo took Niu Yanshi, Zhong Qianhu, Wang Qianhu and other military generals, strode out to meet the meteor, and before he arrived in front of him, he was already surprised and delighted: "Abbot, they all say that the abbot was arrested by the King of Qi, I don't believe it, I keep telling them, with the abbot's ability, how can he be caught? At most, he is temporarily trapped somewhere in the city......

Zhao Ran saw that several of them were all in full armor, and joked: "You guys aren't going to send troops to save the poor, right?"

Niu Shi generously admitted: "The brothers are summing up." ”

Zhang Luo said to Zhao Ran: "The capital is closed for curfew, and a friend from the five military camps told me that if he can't command the battalion heads under his command, many battalion heads have been pulled into the city to guard. He also said that although the military order was issued from above, they all suspected that the Son of Heaven was being held hostage, and this order was not the original intention of the Son of Heaven. We are all very worried about the situation in Beijing, for fear that the abbot will suffer in it......"

As he spoke, he entered the camp, but saw that all the camps were busy, obviously preparing for the expedition.

Zhao Ran felt that it might be true that Zhang Luo said that he was worried about his safety, but it would be nonsense to say that he was worried that the Son of Heaven would be held hostage, and with his temperament, he was afraid that he would like the Son of Heaven to die.

"Are you really planning to send troops to rescue me? Do you have any other thoughts after you get me out?"

"We have been inquiring about the whereabouts of the abbot, just waiting for the abbot to come and lead us, since the abbot is here, then I am also at ease. After that, it is up to the abbot, as long as the abbot gives an order, the army will be dispatched immediately!"

It seems that this is a coincidence, Zhao Ran looked at these people with anticipation on their faces, laughed in his heart, and deliberately asked: "Is there a military order from the Ministry of War?"

A few people were stunned, and Niu said: "The capital is like this, where can there be an order from the military department?"

Zhao Ran asked, "What's going on in the capital?"

"Seven battalions of the five military battalions, three battalions of the Shenji battalion, five battalions of the three thousand battalions, plus the knife and fork circumference of the imperial city, tens of thousands of Beijing battalions have joined the rebellion, you can imagine how chaotic it is in Beijing!"

"The three major battalions in Beijing, the rest of the battalions have not moved, why are you moving?"

"Someone has to get up, abbot! I, Longtanwei, am the first to stand up!"

"In three days, you have inquired so clearly, Niu Yi is very capable!"

Niu Yanshi touched the back of his head: "It's been three days, the abbot...... When it was placed on the side of the river back then, if I couldn't understand this bit of military intelligence, I would have lost a long time ago!"

Entering Zhang Luo's big tent of the Chinese army, I saw that the table was covered with Zhang's huge map of the capital, and then glanced at the corner next to it, there was a big sand table of Zhang Xu Fangyuan, which was made of the thirteen gates of the Beijing Division, and there were small flags on it, marking the numbers of the battalions and divisions stationed there.

Zhao Ran said: "Your sand table was also pinched out in three days? And this garrison map, is it the original or the latest?"

Zhang Luo smiled and didn't speak, and Niu Wei defended: "It was a few brothers in the Fifth Military Camp who told us......"

Zhang Luo stopped: "Okay, don't talk about it, the abbot also fought in Hongyuan, and he understands better than anyone else, in short, we all listen to the abbot, the abbot says to fight, let's fight, the abbot says not to fight, everyone will stand by." ”

Zhao Ran shook his head when he saw Niu Xian's anxious appearance, and said: "Of course you fight, why don't you fight?" This time Zhu Xianjian made too much trouble, and he was no different from a thief, I don't know if he had any plans to usurp the throne, but he rebelled against the Daomen. I'm here to ask you to send troops, let's fight a tough battle this time, take the capital back, restore order, and restore the dignity of the Daomen!"

Niu Shishi, Zhong and Wang, as well as a group of generals who followed behind, heard this, and immediately cheered.

Without Zhao Ran in front, they would not be able to send troops, and the first problem they need to face is that the division is unknown. If you send troops without the military orders of the Son of Heaven and the court, will you be liquidated in the future, this is a big stone that weighs heavily on everyone's heart. Now it's good, with Zhao Ran's consent, this stone can be thrown out.

Who is Zhao Ran? He is the abbot of Xuantan Palace, the supreme manager of the Ten Jungles of Daomen in Yingtianfu, and at the same time the deputy seal of the Daolu Division, and the host of the Daomen Dharma Hall when Zhengyin Jinghui and Deputy Yin Li Dayin were absent, he is also the most authentic Xuanmen disciple, it is said that he is favored by many true masters in the True Master Hall, and he also hosted Zhang Dazhen's ascension ceremony back then.

Zhang Luo and the others gathered Zhao Ran to the sand table and stood still, and began to inform him of the strategy of sending troops this time. The strategy was prepared in advance, even more than a month in advance, and Zhao Ran did not break it, let them explain.

When he was in Song Domain, Zhao Ran did fight the Battle of Hongyuan, and he also went in and out of the barracks many times, and he was more knowledgeable about army operations, but when he encountered big experts such as Zhang Luo and Niu Yanshi, he could only hide his clumsiness, and did not interfere with how to march, how to garrison, how to siege the city, and how to fight in the streets.
