The ferry outside Shunyang Fucheng was bustling with people at the moment. On the official road on the shore, there were [-] soldiers ready to go. Only [-] of them were wearing heavy armor, [-] were wearing light armor, and the rest were wearing cloth armor and spears. Soldiers and archers, and as for cavalry, there were none.

There were countless locals who came to watch the ceremony at the gate of the city. At the foot of the city wall were some barefooted people. On top of the city wall were the children of the city's big families. There were also local officials standing beside the soldiers and bowing to the warships on the river. .

Dozens of small boats were standing close together at the ferry, some of which were merchant ships heading south. However, they could not leave at this time because the Minjiang River passing through Ningzhou Road had been completely blocked, and the crescent mountain search was not over yet. Only official ships will travel on this section of the river.

The fleet had no intention of docking. Driven by the water control warriors, the fleet sailed through the ferry of Shunyang Mansion at a steady speed. The soldiers gathered on the shore quickly followed the officers' orders.

Two days later.

When the fleet arrived at another ferry, there were another Qianfu soldiers waiting here. They naturally joined the march.

Five days later, when the fleet sailed into the territory of Youhuai Mansion, there were already more than [-] soldiers marching with the fleet on the shore, as well as [-] militiamen gathered in advance.

When they arrived at the boundary of Youhuai Mansion, the young governor Yue Zong got off the boat and personally led a thousand elite soldiers towards Crescent Mountain.

The rest of the military formation still marched at the original speed.

When Crescent Mountain was in sight, Zhong Tong said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, look at this deep mountain and old forest, there are only eighteen registered tigers, and the number of unregistered tigers is too many to count. But now that Crescent Mountain is in turmoil, no tiger has sent troops to quell the rebellion. Do you think they have any intention to rebel?"

As soon as his words came out, Wang Ping looked sideways, and Zuo Xuan, Zuo Liang and Hu Qianqian beside him were all startled.

"Senior, if you have any ideas, just say it directly." Wang Ping doesn't need to beat around the bush with Zhong Tong.

"I'm thinking, we might as well take this opportunity to wipe out all the monsters in the mountains, and then re-canonize the eighteen tiger kings in the name of Daozang Palace. What do you think?"

Wang Ping first felt that the old man was crazy, but then he realized that someone was sending a message to him through Zhongtong, so he looked at Zuo Xuan calmly and asked, "What do you think? ?”

Zuo Xuan immediately replied: "Our mission is only to search the Crescent Mountain. Without a warrant from the government, we rashly launched a war against the eighteen tigers on Ningzhou Road. I don't know if they are rebels, but we will definitely be detained first." The hat of a rebel."

"It was my negligence, fellow Taoist, don't blame me..." Zhong Tong took out a document from his arms, "When fellow Taoist was rushing to Ningzhou Road, Senior Brother Ziluan sent an urgent document using a crane."

Wang Ping's heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm, and his calm eyes fell on the document.

Zhong Tong handed over the document and said, "Fellow Taoist, please take a look."

The content of the document did not ask Wang Ping to directly encircle and suppress the eighteen tigers. Instead, he ordered the eighteen tigers to assemble their respective tribes and cooperate with the mountain-searching army in the Crescent Mountain. For those mountains that did not obey the orders, Only then can you regard them as rebels and take advantage of the situation to eliminate them.

Also included at the back was a document jointly signed by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of War. At the end of the document, the emperor's seal was stamped in a conspicuous place.

"Good trick!"

Wang Ping sighed in admiration, and Yu Lian stretched out her head to stare at the contents of the document. Before Yu Lian could finish reading, Wang Ping handed the document to Hu Qianqian and ordered: "Pick some people to convey the order."

"Senior Brother Ziluan is always meticulous in his work and thinks more than us, but he still thinks too much. According to my opinion, it is better to take this opportunity to catch them all to avoid causing trouble in the future."

Although Zhong Tong looks like a good guy, he is extremely ruthless and decisive.

Hu Qianqian read the contents of the handwriting and was about to go down to select an envoy when he saw a Qi practitioner jumping out of the warship opening the way ahead and reporting something to a Foundation-Building monk on the bow.

Then the foundation-building monk walked over quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Taoist Master, there is a fox demon who calls himself the Lord of Pingfang Mountain, asking to see him."

Hearing this, Zhong Tong commented: "It's quite insightful..." Wang Ping motioned to Hu Qianqian to slow down, and ordered the foundation-building monk: "Bring him here!"

The fox demon who came was wearing fine leather armor that had been carefully polished, and he was carrying a scimitar inlaid with precious stones. The belt hanging the scimitar was full of polished jade, and even the shoes on his feet were inlaid with jade. There are symmetrical rubies and a bunch of golden earrings on the furry left ear.

"You're right, the demon clan here is very rich." Wang Ping saw the fox demon's outfit and couldn't help but complain to Zuo Xuan next to him.

Zhong Tong added: "They not only make gorgeous clothes, but also strong armors and sharp weapons. If they are allowed to continue to develop, this mountain forest will definitely be a serious problem a hundred years from now."

Wang Ping agreed in his heart, but did not show it.

Being rich and a member of the demon clan, Zi Luan had been able to endure it for a long time. Now he wanted to rob him.

"Little demon Hu Yi, I have met all the immortals..."

After Hu Yi finished speaking, he knelt down and worshiped under Wang Ping's surprised gaze. It was a kneeling ceremony in the true traditional sense. He knelt down with his legs and placed his hands on the board of the ship.

Yu Lian said at this time: "This fox demon is too thoughtful, unlike Hu Qianqian."

"Get up and talk." Wang Ping said calmly.

When Hu Yi stood up, Zuo Xuan immediately asked: "Why did you ram the fleet? If you don't tell me why, I will kill you immediately!"

When facing this demon clan, Zuo Xuan became a completely different person, and the killing intent in his body burst out without reservation.

"Little demon...little demon..."

Hu Yizhen was shocked. After all, Qi Xiu was the nemesis of the demon clan in a sense.

Facing Zuo Xuan's murderous intention, he said tremblingly: "The little demon heard that the Taoist Heavenly Army was coming, and thought he was going to attack Crescent Mountain. As the Lord of Ningzhou Road Mountain, I have the responsibility to protect the land and the people, so I led him Hundreds of tribesmen came to help."

"Hand over your ID badge!"

When Zuo Xuan spoke, he gestured to the Qi practitioners on the left and right.

Hu Yi did not dare to disobey.

Zuo Xuan took the identity card and did not hand it to Wang Ping. She directly checked it with her soul, and then said in Wang Ping's ear: "He is indeed a mountain god canonized by the imperial court, and he is also registered in Daozang Hall."

At this moment, Zhong Tong came out and said, "Fellow Taoist, why don't you let me have a chat with this Monarch of Pingfang Mountain?"

Wang Ping didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when he heard Zhong Tong taking the matter to himself, he naturally followed the trend and said, "Okay."

After Zhong Tong got the answer, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and took Hu Yi to a cabin below to whisper.

At this time, a soldier carrying an order flag ran over from the shore and brought Yue Zong's battle report on the front line.

The scouts found a small group of monster troops fifty miles ahead. Yue Zong was young and energetic, so he immediately led the vanguard to attack them.

After hearing the news, Hu Qianqian couldn't help but said: "This person is too restless. Now the initiative is in our hands. As long as we act steadily and steadily, it is easy to solve the turmoil in Crescent Mountain. However, if we advance rashly, we will need to bear unnecessary responsibilities." risks of."
