Chapter 595: Comparing Qi
Regarding the action of rescuing his sister, Shangguan Fei quickly changed from pushing and blocking to cheering, because the Dragon King gave him a reason that was difficult to refuse.
Just when Shangguan Fei and Fang Wen were staying in the Dragon King's tent to talk, three female soldiers from the country of Xiangji came to visit.
Since Shangguan Ru's disappearance, these three people have come to the Dragon King's camp almost every day to report the situation in the headquarters and ask the Dragon King for advice and orders, and this time, they brought important information.
This is one of the agreements reached between Gu Shenwei and Xiao Yan, he rescued Luo Ning Tea, Xiao Yan helped him find Shangguan Ru's whereabouts, and it was inconvenient for the two to meet, so the female official of the country of Xiangji was responsible for contacting.
The eleven proud disciples really live in the palace, and they are now the red people around the old Khan king, but the Xiao Yan clan assured that the old Khan king was not bewitched, he just hoped to prolong his life with the help of the magic power of these strange people.
The old Khan did not escape the trappings of the emperors, and as death approached, the pursuit of immortality became urgent and stubborn.
But as Gu Shen expected, Shangguan Ru was not in the hands of the disciples of the proud building.
When Xiao Yan heard the news, he said that the head of the sect had been kidnapped by a group of Central Plains people and was locked up in the craftsman area. A female officer said, then pulling out a simple map and pointing out the location.
Xiao Yan's family was able to find out the detailed results so quickly, Gu Shenwei was not surprised at all, she had been operating secretly in Longting for many years, and her network was tight, not much worse than King Kuari.
As for the group of Central Plains people, they were nothing more than the disciples of the Proud Mansion or the pawns of a certain prince, to circumvent the armistice agreement between the Dragon King and the North Court.
"There are not many people in the Central Plains, about ten people, and the Xiao Yan clan said that they may be the elders of the Yuqing faction. The female officer continued to give a briefing.
Fang Wen is farewell, Shangguan Fei has been listening, and when he heard this, he blurted out: "It's them!"
Yuqing sent five Taoist priests from the Central Plains to Beiting, the purpose was to retrieve a large amount of the sect's external skills from the old man Mu, and soon became interested in the Dragon King's Great Jue Sword Sutra, claiming that it could cure the hidden danger of going mad, but it needed to be exchanged for martial arts secrets.
They once gave a ten-day deadline, but before the time came, they took the lead and kidnapped Shangguan Ru.
As for whether Old Man Mu was a kidnapper or a kidnapper, Xiao Yan didn't inquire about it, and Gu Shenwei couldn't guess it.
However, this explains why the kidnappers have not made a request, and they are waiting for the tenth day.
"Very well, you guys go back, I'll get the head out of the sect. ”
The three-faced female officers glanced at each other and said in unison: "Dragon King, we also have to participate in the rescue operation." ”
For the female soldiers of the country of incense, Shangguan Ru is not only a leader, but also a guide and protector, so they are eager to help.
"No, just wait for my news. ”
The female officials obviously guessed that the Dragon King would have such an answer, so they discussed the countermeasures in advance, and one of the female officers said: "Dragon King, we know that our martial arts are low, and we are just a drag on your side, but saving the head of the sect is the first priority of the country of Xiangji, if we can't make a contribution to it, the whole army will complain that we are not dedicated, and we will not see anyone after returning home." I implore the Dragon King to take us to save people, even if it is just one of them. ”
Gu Shenwei couldn't refuse, especially when Shangguan Fei was gesturing on the side, hinting that the Dragon King agreed, and he hoped that all a thousand female archers would participate in the action.
The news of Shangguan Ru's disappearance Gu Shenwei has been hiding until the rumors are flying all over the sky, and he has never publicly admitted it, and he doesn't want to make a big deal about saving people, "Okay, you nominate one, and go with me to save people." ”
The female soldiers had already decided on the candidates, and the two female officers stepped out of the way and pointed to their companions together, "She is the best martial artist in our army, please take her with the Dragon King." ”
The rescue team has changed from two to three.
The other two female officers took their leave, and Gu Shen looked at the simple map and considered a specific plan to save people.
Shangguan Fei was rarely interested in the female official of the Fragrance Accumulation Country, he himself needed protection, but he didn't want to bring another burden that needed to be taken care of everywhere, so he had to find out the level of this woman's martial arts.
"You're not used to it in Beiting, aren't you?" Shangguan Fei pretended to be enthusiastic and chatted.
The female official nodded, she was one of the youngest generals in the country of Xiangji, in her twenties, her appearance was a typical Hu person, with natural curly hair, even if she was wearing a helmet, she could not cover it all, and her demeanor was generous and decent, but she rarely spoke, so for the Dragon King, and even more so for Shangguan Fei.
"Who did you learn martial arts from? Is it my sister?"
The female official showed a puzzled expression, and Shangguan Fei had to explain: "It's your leader, we are twins, I am the elder brother, she is the younger sister, why, can't you see it?"
The female officer looked at it carefully, smiled and nodded, "If you look closely, it's a bit similar." ”
Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Ru are actually very similar in appearance, but their temperaments are completely different, which makes many people unable to see that they are twins.
"What martial arts did you learn from my sister?"
"Hmm. ”
"Oh, it wasn't long, maybe more than a year, less than two years?"
"One year and three months. ”
"Have you studied martial arts before?"
"Nope. ”
Shangguan Fei's interest in her ended here, and he turned to the Dragon King, constantly making a look, his idea was to either bring dozens or hundreds of female archers, or not at all.
The Dragon King was indifferent to his hints, raised his head and said, "These five people from the Yuqing Sect are very useful. ”
"Huh?" Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy, "That's right, they will cure the disease, let's save people first, and then tie them back by the way......"
Gu Shenwei shook his head, "No, I have a better way." ”
Shangguan Fei was even happier, and for the first time became enthusiastic about the rescue operation, "The Dragon King wants to deceive them for me...... Heal the dragon king?"
"There are two true qi in your dantian, one yin and one yang, which do not blend with each other, and become a hidden danger of going mad, I thought of a way to make yin and yang harmonious with the help of external forces. The Taoist priests of the Yuqing School are good at internal strength, which is a good medicine for curing diseases, and I will teach you a set of exercises later, and use them when competing for internal skills, maybe there will be miraculous results. ”
Shangguan Fei immediately became wary of this "method" that he had just come up with, "The Dragon King clearly said yesterday that he had eliminated the loophole of the three-in-one function......
"The original method was too slow to work, and this trick can be immediate. ”
"Together, I'm going to fight again to wade through the water for the Dragon King, right?"
"Well, is there a problem?"
Shangguan Fei was aggrieved, and then he became happy again, "No problem, at least this time it's a cure, not a practice." That's all he can do to comfort himself.
Gu Shenwei turned to the female officer, "What's your name?"
He has always been cautious in dealing with the female soldiers of the country of incense, and although these three female officers come to visit every day, he has never asked for their names.
"Red bats. ”
Gu Shenwei just asked casually, and was stunned when he heard this answer.
"My old name was too complicated, and I taught my head to come up with a new name. The female officer explained.
Shangguan Fei muttered, "My sister will have a strange name." ”
For Gu Shenwei, this name is not strange at all, and he is still very familiar, he once told Shangguan Ru a story of a lone thief, in which the protagonist is called "Red Bat".
"So you must be doing a good job?"
Hearing the praise of the Dragon King, the female official Red Bat was a little surprised and very happy, "The head of the sect said that I am very talented, but in fact, after studying for so long, I am still far from the head of the sect." ”
The female officials were self-aware and did not push the dragon king to an unqualified helper.
It was the second watch of the night, the three of them changed into a full set of night clothes, and set off from the camp, Red Bat proved that she had not learned martial arts in vain for more than a year, and she knew the rules of stealth very well, and did not show any flaws.
Even Shangguan Fei had to admit that the apprentices taught by his sister were very successful.
The Taoist priests of the Yuqing sect originally lived in a Taoist temple in the suburbs, but a few days ago they moved into the artisan district and rented a small camp on the edge of the area, with more than a dozen tents of various sizes, which looked no different from their neighbors.
The preliminary investigation was no different from an ordinary assassination operation at Jinpeng Castle, with the three of them separating and gradually approaching around the camp, looking for a secret outpost and an ambush.
There was nothing, and the Taoist priests of the Yuqing faction seemed to be particularly confident, or they lacked experience and did not take special precautions.
When the three of them reunited, Shangguan Fei whispered, "Don't have a trap, right?"
"If there's a trap, you have to jump in. ”
"What is the Dragon King's plan?" Shangguan Fei had always admired the Dragon King's strategy, and the Dragon King thought about it for a while before making the move, and the plan he made was definitely foolproof.
Gu Shenwei first gave an order to the red bat, "You stay on the perimeter and keep an eye on whether anyone sneaks out of the camp." ”
The red bat nodded, turned and disappeared into the night.
Only then did Gu Shenwei say to Shangguan Fei: "You go and challenge, I will protect you in the back." ”
"That's it...... Direct challenge?" Shangguan Fei was taken aback, this was not like the style of the Dragon King.
"Yes, force them to compete in internal strength, remember the exercises I taught you. ”
Shangguan Fei's confidence fell to the bottom, before leaving, the dragon king did pass on to him a set of luck and qi control methods, simple and easy to learn, and the Hehe Jin taught by the lotus girl, he has no doubt about this, but the dragon king has too many whims in the three in one, whether it will work, whether it will bring more hidden dangers, are unknown.
"Don't you believe me?" Gu Shenwei's tone was accentuated.
Shangguan Fei dared not believe it, gritted his teeth, and only asked, "Is there really any danger, the Dragon King will save me?"
"You're very useful to me. ”
That's enough, Shangguan Fei plucked up his courage, walked out of the shadows, went straight to the Yuqing faction camp, stopped at the gate, and said loudly: "Yuqing faction miscellaneous hair, come out for me, the master will challenge you!"
There was no response in the camp, but someone in a nearby tent was looking this way.
Shangguan Fei raised his voice, "Yuqing faction, dare to come to the Dragon Court, don't you dare to show your true body?"
Finally, a Taoist priest came out, thin and small, not the type that Shangguan Fei was afraid of.
"Who are you, and what is your grudge against this door?"
"Ha, if I have a grudge, I'll sneak it up, why are you still challenging? I'm in a bad mood tonight, and I want to find Lao Dao to vent my anger. ”
Before the words fell, Shangguan flew in front of the Taoist priest and slapped his palm, since he was competing for internal strength, he didn't want to waste time.
The Central Plains Yuqing faction's external strength was scattered, but its internal strength was very strong, so it also greeted it with one palm.
The two palms collided, and both sides output a lot of energy at the same time.
Shangguan Fei shook his body and scolded the Dragon King secretly, and the cowardice in his heart prevailed again.
The Taoist priest's internal strength was unexpectedly strong, Shangguan Fei immediately switched from attack to defense, barely protecting himself, and the healing techniques taught to him by the Dragon King were not used at all.
