The Immortal Taoist Priest in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 12: The first glimpse of success (please follow up)

The messenger came to report to Li Hu, and his tone seemed not very good.

"Three days later, at night, you must trick the gates of Chenzhou City into opening." The messenger added again, "The leader said that your family will be reunited this time, and there will be no restrictions from now on."

Although Li Hu was a little dissatisfied, he agreed after hearing what the envoy said.

"It's a word."

The messenger leaves.

Li Hu was relieved.

His family is being held hostage in the mountains, and he is smuggling for Li in the outside world. He can only visit at fixed times every month.

That was his brother's only child, the only incense in the family.

There is still one month left to escape.

"When the time comes, I will take out my money and buy him a manor, and I will quit."

The remaining property was handed over to Xu Xuan. Li Hu himself could not take so much, nor could his eldest brother's son, otherwise he would be killed.

The next day.

The servant informed Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan came to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall has a gloomy and dark environment, with sandalwood scented and the statues glaring angrily.

An old man stands in front of the statue.

Li Hu lit three incense sticks and worshiped the gods sincerely.

"Master Nuo bless me, everything goes well for my disciples."

After bowing, Li Hu turned his head to look at Xu Xuan.

"What happened?" Xu Xuan asked.

Except for smuggling private salt, Li Hu is basically retiring and basking in the sun.

"There will be a big operation in three days. You will take the nursing home back to the Xu family. The head of the family will tell you about the situation then."

"What about you?"

"Me? I have other tasks."

Li Hu didn't want Xu Xuan to participate in such a dangerous thing.

Although Chenzhou's military preparedness is depleted, it still has basic garrison.

"it is good."

"Okay, you go back and rest first, and then I'll notify your brother and sister."

Xu Xuan didn't say much and turned back. His intuition told him that something might not be good.

Times have changed.

Maybe people from wealthy families still feel that the years are peaceful as before. If you go out and take a look, you will know how serious it is.

A large number of people fled the famine, and many refugees in other places revolted.

The king of Chuang in the northwest also made a name for himself.

Although the specific details of this world are different, Xu Xuan knew that the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed in the future, and the Jin soldiers would enter the pass.

Looking at the future, there are still decades of war.

"Now I can only protect myself. If I have the chance, I will definitely prevent the tragedy from happening."

Xu Xuan thought.

It's okay to change dynasties, but it's not okay to destroy the world.

Of course, the few fireballs he has now cannot stop thousands of troops, and even assassination is difficult.

At present, the main thing is to keep a low profile and cultivate power secretly.

Three days later.

Xu Xuan, Xu Yong, and Xu Linger got on the carriage and went back.

This is not the Xu family in the city, but Xujiazhuang in the countryside, Xu Guangting's hometown.

It was no longer suitable to stay in the city, so the Xu family found an excuse to return to worship their ancestors.

Otherwise, if a war breaks out, the Xu family will not be sacrificed.

There were only two coachmen following the three people, and Li Hu transferred all the rest.

Xu Xuan closed his eyes and considered the territory he owned.

"Eight Bleeding Talismans, ten Antidote Talismans, five Hunting Talismans, two Belly Pain Relief Talismans, and most importantly, eighteen Fire Calling Talismans."

The power of the fire-calling talisman is still very impressive. The power of the explosion can break a tree, which is equivalent to a grenade.

In other words, Xu Xuan had a total of eighteen grenades on his body.

It would be more if it weren't for the tight schedule and low success rate.

"Have Wu Xiong and Ghost Partridge been informed?" Xu Xuan asked.

"I've informed that Ghost Partridge is about to lead 300 people from Wupo Village to Xu's house to listen to orders. Wu Xiong's side remains unchanged and will dedicate the city only when we come over."

This is Xu Xuan's plan.

First expose part of your own power, and then slowly infiltrate the mountain barbarians after it stabilizes. You can capture Chenzhou with a population of 10 without any blood.

As for the person to control Chenzhou... Xu Xuan opened his eyes and glanced at Xu Yong beside him.

Xu Yong was looked at inexplicably.

……

Sunset West Mountain.

In the Xu family ancestral hall, a group of people held torches and the lights were brightly lit.

As the patriarch of the clan, Xu Guangting has held a banquet for guests these past few days, gathering many young people from the Xu family as well as the nursing homes and refugees accumulated over the years.

There were eight hundred people, including armor, powerful crossbows, long swords, and twenty horses.

These were all bought at a high price, and most of the Xu family's property was spent on them.

Inside the ancestral hall.

As a representative of the mountain barbarians, the Li family also participated. In addition to Xu Guangting, there were also several young men including Xu Feng.

"I am a thousand households, Feng'er, you have two hundred households, and your cousins ​​Xu Yuan, Xu Chong, Xu Jie... each have one hundred households." Xu Guangting seemed to be a different person, with sharp eyes, "The world will be in chaos. This is the opportunity for the Xu family to rise. If we capture Chenzhou, we can separate ourselves if we advance. If we retreat, we can recruit An as an official. There is no room for error!"

"Follow orders!!"

Several young people were excited and admired Xu Guangting in their hearts.

Over the years, the clan leader donated a school to the village and hired people to teach them martial arts. Unexpectedly, it was for today.

"The eldest son has arrived!!"

someone yelled outside.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yong and Xu Xuan came in.

Under the leadership of the old man, the two of them offered incense to their ancestors, and then came over to greet Xu Guangting.

"Father, mother..."

Li suddenly asked: "Where are the eldest and the third child? How will the master plan to arrange it?"

"The positions have been allocated. Let them follow Feng'er as soldiers. No man in the Xu family can hide behind." Xu Guangting said with a twinkling look.

"How about we separate a team of a dozen people as scouts and let them explore the way for the army in front?" Li suddenly said.

This is a completely poisonous plan. Originally, if he were in the army and next to Xu Feng, no matter how much the brothers were at odds, Xu Feng would not dare to deliberately let his elder brother and younger brother die at this time.

Otherwise, the reputation will be extremely bad.

But scouts are different, they can die easily.

Xu Guangting frowned. This woman was becoming more and more domineering because of her mother's relationship.

But it was hard to say anything at this time. Xu Guangting was just about to say yes.

At this time, Xu Xuan spoke first and said, "Don't worry about father, the child will have his own troops."

Boom boom boom...

There were noisy sounds outside, especially the trampling of horse hooves.

"No, a large army is coming!"

"Wupozhai! It's the Ghost Partridge of Wupozhai!"

There were panicked sounds outside.

Everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked.

Younger brother Xu Yong smiled and said: "Elders, don't panic..."

At this time, someone else came in.

"Ghost Partridge asks to see you!"

After hearing the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were asking for a meeting, they would definitely not be able to fight.

"Yes!" Xu Guangting said.

Xu Feng's eyes lit up and he suggested: "It's better to bring the Ghost Partridge into the group..."

At this time, a person came outside the gate.

This man was nine feet tall, as tall as the rumors, and the scars on his face and aquiline nose added to his ferocity.

The moment he entered, a bloody evil aura hit his face.

Most people present were frightened.

Li didn't notice her husband Xu Guangting, who thought he was weak, nor was he frightened at this moment.

"It turns out to be the master of Ghost Partridge Village. I have admired him for a long time!"

Ghost Partridge returned the salute with his hands raised, then half-kneeled towards Xu Xuan and Xu Yong, and said respectfully: "All three hundred strong men in Wupo Village are at your disposal, the eldest and third master!"

Whoa!
The crowd was noisy.

Xu Guangting, Li Shi, Xu Feng and others did not expect that the eldest son, who was not taken seriously, would hook up with this group of gangsters.

At this time, Xu Feng's expression was a little ugly.

Xu Guangting adjusted his condition and said with a smile:

"The leader of the village is actually my son's friend. In that case, I will get straight to the point. The Shanman Li clan is preparing to take over Chenzhou. In response, we will deal with Meishan Wei. What does the leader of the village think?"

Ghost Partridge did not answer, but stood up and walked to Xu Xuan's side to express his attitude.

I have been in this world for more than twenty years, and today I am beginning to show my talents.
