The Immortal Taoist Priest in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 55 Spy
"Follow me, I know the way!"

Six soldiers led the crowd back and forth through the jungle.

Xuanzhen and others followed behind.

The scout seemed to be familiar with this area and showed no signs of getting lost.

The few scouts in front jumped back and forth, stopping from time to time to wait for everyone.

"What a strong master." Xuanzhen was secretly shocked.

The leader, Liu Yuan, could even leap up a tree trunk ten feet high, and their speed was also very fast. If they hadn't been waiting for them, they would have been able to get rid of their pursuers long ago.

"Could it be that the Baidi Sect has a secret recipe for ancient martial arts?" Xuanzhen could only think this way.

Liu Yuan slowed down his speed. There was a high drop in front of him, about fifteen feet.

"Go around!"

As everyone walked along the cliff, the drop got lower and lower, finally reaching about five feet.

There were branches growing randomly on the cliff, and Liu Yuan jumped on them first.

"It's safe, come up."

With the help of the scouts, everyone went down one level at a time, and finally got off the cliff.

Liu Yuan jumped up again and cut down the trees from top to bottom.

"There they are!!"

While everyone was going down, the Tatar pursuers arrived just in time.

Liu Yuan glanced at them. There were not many people on the other side, but if they dragged on, the army would definitely arrive, and they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

He looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, Shigang Village is nearby."

After another roundabout walk, everyone got rid of the pursuers.

Liu Yuan took out the cloth bag on his waist and took out a few pieces of brown dry food.

"Let's have something to eat first=, Daochang Li is waiting for us in front."

Several other scouts took out their things.

Everyone in Xuanzhen devoured their food. These days, they no longer care about their demeanor when they are full or hungry.

After two bites of biscuits, Xuanzhen was surprised to find that he felt full quickly. The biscuit was very hard and frighteningly sweet. He felt full after eating only half of it.

Xuanzhen was not greedy for more, so he handed the remaining half of the cake to another disciple.

He quickly came to Liu Yuan's side and asked, "Are those eight hundred cavalry the advance troops? Does Master Xu Tian have any backup troops?"

Xuanzhen actually had a negative view of Xu Tianshi at first.

After all, the style of Baidi Sect is different from traditional Taoism.

Traditional Taoism is detached from things and treats the common world with a mentality of playing in the mortal world.

Even if they are entangled with political power, they are still taking the upper-level route and accepting rewards and respect from the upper-level.

Perhaps due to the influence of the ancient Five Pecks of Rice Road, there are few Taoist organizations that develop the power of the lower classes or even establish organizations.This coincides with the ancient Zhang Jiao, Sun En and others.

But after experiencing what happened now, Xuanzhen felt that this was too right, and that this was how Taoist orthodoxy could be maintained.

"There are only 800 people. There is no advance and detachment. With more people, the target will be bigger, otherwise it will be another battle."

The battle is not that easy to fight, and it doesn't involve gathering the strength of the whole country.

"I know."

"You don't have to worry, the Heavenly Master will come in person, even if the Tatars have thousands of troops, it won't be a problem."

"Master Xu Tianshi's reputation is well known to the world, and the Tatars will not dare to invade!" Xuanzhen said.

In fact, he didn't know for sure. Xu Tianshi was most likely a very strong martial arts master, even much better than Liu Yuan.

But the force of mortals is simply too insignificant for the army.

Ordinary top martial arts masters can defeat a lightly armed army of 20 people.

If you are facing an army wearing heavy armor, you can probably only deal with three or five people, but if you put them in a large army, they are no different from ants, and even the masters will die.

As for the method of summoning the dragon, he simply ignored it.

The world always has too many assumptions about Taoist priests. As the Lord of Zhongnan Mountain, the world has also made up many legends of its own, such as those about interrogating the King of Hell in the middle of the night, and descending the mountain to subdue the dragon.Outside the woods.

Another group of people were waiting in place, many of the horses had empty backs. They seemed to be waiting for someone.

Bodies lay on the ground not far away.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

On horseback, Li Changsheng rubbed his sore and swollen thighs. He had just undergone surgery a few days ago. His strength was stronger and his strength reached [-] kilograms, but there were still many sequelae.

The most important prescription of the Baidi Sect is Xiaoqinglong Powder, which, when combined with the breathing method, can enhance Qi and blood, giving people power beyond ordinary people.

Since Chongzhen invented the microscope, it became easier to absorb Qinglong Powder.

Xie Miao created the technique of absorbing the essence of Qinglong powder in the body, injecting the liquid directly into the muscles to achieve the purpose of rapid absorption. Of course, the pain involved can make a person collapse, so if you want to become a talent quickly, you need to have super willpower. Only the strong will do.

Whizzing!

A group of people stumbled out of the woods.

"Here we come! Who is the leader of Xuanzhen?"

"It's right down there!"

"Please follow me, the Heavenly Master is waiting in front!"

The group set out for Shigang Village, two miles away.

On the other side, Nanyang City.

This is where the Qian army is stationed.

In the city, people's livelihood is in decline, the people are poor, and many people have braids on the back of their heads.

As a border place, the largest number of soldiers here include Jin soldiers and a large number of Han Eight Banners.

The leader here is Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi. This person was listed as one of the must-kills by the southern court. The so-called must-kills were usually traitors, and they were also traitors who had committed unforgivable crimes.

People who are not on the list can still seek leniency if they surrender, but Wu Sangui will not be forgiven. If he is caught, he will be executed by the Nine Tribes, and his head is worth a marquis.

The mansion is extremely luxurious and tightly guarded, so there is never a moment to spare.

In the study room, there is a faint fragrance, and someone is reading at the desk.

This is a tall middle-aged man with pale skin, sunken eyes, and a mustache. He looks like a scholar.

This person is Wu Sangui.

Emperor Qianqing named him King of Pingxi and ordered him to lead troops to the south of the Yangtze River. He thought he could do a trick to support the bandits, but he didn't expect that the other party also sent Prince Duduo of Yu.

The two camps were eyeing each other, which made him unable to resist.

Moreover, raising a bandit meant that he had to secretly communicate with the bandit's side, but Xu Yong didn't listen at all, and even made a must-kill list.

This left Wu Sangui speechless.

"You're a bastard from the south, you're a monkey, but you still want to go to the north?" Wu Sangui cursed.

Not even Chongzhen was so brainless as he didn't understand politics at all and just got things done.

Wu Sangui believed that he was not a traitor. After all, he was just trying to protect himself. Chongzhen was not worthy of seeking refuge. Anyone who was loyal to Chongzhen would basically end up with his family ruined. On the contrary, warlords with evil intentions would get preferential treatment.

As for being loyal to Taiji, a barbarian, it was even more impossible. The Wu family had been dealing with barbarians for generations and despised them from the bottom of their hearts.

If Xu Yong is willing to cooperate, he still has a lot of room for maneuver, such as raising the bandits' self-respect and taking advantage of both sides. No one can do anything to him, and the great fortune in the future may not fall on the Wu family.

"Report!"

At this time, the soldiers reported.

"what's up?"

"There seems to be traces of small-scale Changjun activities in the southwest. According to the spies, it seems that the leader of the Baidi Sect and the brother of Han Changdi personally led the troops."

"What?" Wu Sangui's eyes lit up, "How many people?"

"No more than a thousand."

"Okay, okay, gather the people and follow me to catch the thief!"

The opportunity to break the tie finally came.
