After Qin Shuhuai came to Lanzhou City with a large army unhurriedly, he was stationed on the spot and waited for a reply from the Demon Sect.

During this period, Li Dingguo came many times to urge the troops, saying that in recent years, winter has entered early, and it is now June, and even if the army starts at this moment, it will only have three or four months to fight, and it will snow there in October, so it is inconvenient for the army to fight.

However, Qin Shuhuai just asked him to wait, and did not tell him the reason.

On June 22, Wu Lie and Bu Ersan finally came to Lanzhou City with a letter from the Demon Sect Leader Yan Chengzhi.

Yan Chengzhi said in the letter that the Demon Sect will raise 20,000 troops, with Jin Gang, the owner of the Ruijin Banner, as the commander, and Mei Yinzhi, the Second Apostle, the Third Apostle, the Six Apostles, Shen Xi, Fujisanren and other masters will go out together.

In order to save time, the Demon Sect will set out directly from Kunlun Mountain on June 25 and go straight to Jiayu Pass, where it will try to join Qin Shuhuai's army.

Qin Shuhuai was very happy to receive the letter, and immediately called Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Lai San'er, Zhang Xiao, Chen Jing, Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng, Du Wenhuan, He Renlong, etc.

When these people saw that Wu Lie and Fujisan were also in the house, they were all surprised.

Wu Lie and the Fujisan people had fought with the officials and the army, and they had fought with the officials, so most of these people knew him.

They all couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, why did the people of the Demon Sect come again?

And when Qin Shuhuai told them the news that the Demon Sect was willing to go west with the official army, they were even more shocked.

More than half a year ago, the imperial court and the Demon Sect were still fighting to the death, and the hands of both sides were stained with the blood of each other's robes, which can be described as a deep hatred of the sea of blood that is not shared by the sky, but in a blink of an eye, they are actually going to fight side by side again?

What kind of business is this?

Could it be that Grandpa Guo went to the Hongmen banquet of the Demon Sect alone half a year ago, not only persuaded the Demon Sect to withdraw its troops, but also persuaded the Demon Sect to be loyal to the imperial court from now on?

Is this and this, can Grandpa Guo really be able to do witchcraft? Otherwise, how can the Demon Sect change so quickly?

It was still Wu Lie who was frank, and after clasping his fists at everyone, he said, "Generals, I had many misunderstandings with the imperial court before, so that the soldiers met. Now that the truth is revealed, the Muxue Cliff tragedy had nothing to do with the imperial court, and the imperial court, with the assistance of the lord of the Qin League, greatly prospered benevolent government, and there was a hidden image of zhongxing, which is what I like to see. Therefore, from now on, I am willing to give up my past suspicions with the imperial court and fight together for the revival of the prosperous era!"

Fujisanren also said, "From now on, my sect will support the imperial court as before, and it is said that the world of his Zhu family is not what I taught to fight." Of course, I also hope that the court can be like this, and there will be no more faint kings, how good do you think it is now?"

Meng Wei, Meng Hu and the other Jianghe Gang had no doubts about Wu Lie and the Bujisan people's words, because they had fought side by side with the Demon Sect and knew that this group of people had always valued their promises above their lives.

Besides, didn't the gang leader suspect this? He accepted it, how could this matter be fake?

Seeing Wu Lie talking like this, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted.

Meng Wei said, "Master Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your religion has the heart to support the imperial court, and I deeply admire it. It is really good to have the help of your teachers on this expedition. Speaking of which, I also miss the time when I fought side by side with Lord Wu Qi, and now I can regain my old feelings, which is really happy!"

But Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng and others were a little suspicious, and they looked at Wu Lie with slightly wary eyes.

Of course, vigilance is vigilance, and they don't say anything that spoils the atmosphere.

Because, in the final analysis, they still believe in Qin Shuhuai's judgment.

Since Qin Shuhuai dared to let the Demon Sect lead his troops to the Western Regions, it meant that this matter should be reliable. As for why the Demon Sect suddenly cooperated with the imperial court again, there must be another hidden secret, when the grandfather of the country made some mediation in the middle.

Otherwise, could it be that such a great talent as the dignified grandfather would still be caught in the way of the Demon Sect? That is really a strange news in the world!

When they thought about it, they were relieved.

Subsequently, like Meng Wei, he said some scenes.

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said to Wu Lie, "Then this matter is decided." Lord Wu Qi and Brother Fuji have been running around for the Western Expedition these days, which can be described as hard work. Aren't you in a hurry to go back tonight? Can my father treat you to a drink or two to catch up with the old days?"

Wu Lie smiled casually, "I won't leave tonight." As I said before, when this matter is settled, Wu will have a drunk with Grandpa Guo. So today's wine, you must drink it, you must drink it!"

The two scattered people even laughed and said, "Brother Qin, brother, I've been waiting for this meal for a long time. If you don't eat this meal, I won't leave tonight if you drive me away. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Hehe, then you two have to be careful." There are so many of us here, and when we join forces to toast you, you are not allowed to run. ”

"Haha, how fast it is to be able to drink with all the heroes, even if you drink it!"

"Lao Wu is right. Why are you afraid of drinking? I'm afraid you don't have enough wine. ”

Meng Hu grinned, "Hehe, the wine pipe is enough!"

Lai San'er jumped up, "There are several wine shops in the city, what are you afraid of!"

There was laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

It's like the relationship between the Demon Sect and the Imperial Court now.

......

A big drink, in the best restaurant in town, from early evening until midnight. The dishes on the table were cold and hot, hot and cold. The wine jar next to the table was empty and renewed, and the new one was soon empty again.

The small houses in the restaurant are busy.

Qin Shuhuai deliberately didn't stop it, so he let everyone let go and drink, even Chen Jing could do whatever he wanted.

He had already decided not to go on an expedition to the Western Regions, but everyone present would.

The yellow sand desert, a foreign country, will not be able to come back for a year and a half.

So, it's a farewell drink.

Qin Shuhuai looked at these people on the wine table with slightly drunk eyes, thinking that Lao Tzu was not there, and he didn't know if they could be as obedient as before?

Although Li Dingguo is said to be a great talent, in the final analysis, he is still a demoted general, and his qualifications are shallow, can he control Lai San'er and Meng Hu, these arrogant generals?

I hope Meng Wei can help Li Dingguo suppress them.

And Chen Jing, this year is also sixteen, right? Let you go to the Western Regions, but hide it from your sister, you have to fight for your breath, otherwise the people in the gang will still treat you as Lao Tzu's brother-in-law. If you didn't have a confidant, you wouldn't be able to be the owner of incense, and now you have to justify yourself for yourself.

Although the victory rate is very high, there is no shortage of masters in the Western Regions! It is not only the masters of the Western Regions who can devour these people, but also quicksand, sandstorms, and even getting lost and lacking water.

I have to come back alive one by one!

......

In Lanzhou City, I repaired and prepared for another day.

During this period, he wrote a letter to Chongzhen, telling him about the Demon Sect and the imperial court joining forces to conquer the west. Although the end of the recital is to ask Chongzhen whether he is allowed or not in an inquiring tone, in fact, this is just a procedure.

Chongzhen will definitely be accurate.

On the morning of June 24, without receiving a reply from Chongzhen, Qin Shuhuai set off again with his army.

He wanted to bring the army to Jiayuguan and then go back.

The route he took was to go to Xiningwei first, and then to Wuwei, Jinchang, Zhangye, and Jiayuguan.

The main thing is to inform the officials and soldiers in these places not to stop the Demon Sect.

If the Demon Cult starts from the Bright Peak of the General Rudder, most of the routes will not pass through the territory where the officers and soldiers are stationed. Because the westernmost part of the official army is currently in Xiningwei, there has been no real and effective military presence in the area south of Xiningwei for decades.

Therefore, as long as those places are notified, the Demon Sect can safely arrive at Jiayuguan.

On July 5, the army arrived at Jiayuguan.

On July 15, the 20,000 troops of the Demon Sect, led by Jin Gang, Mei Yinzhi and others, also arrived at Jiayuguan.
