Chapter 441

Half a month later, Lu Zhi led a large army to Chuanyun pass again. After a fierce battle, Yang Jian, Nezha and other disciples, relying on their strong strength, attacked the city head and tore a hole in the wall.

Under the continuous influx of Xiqi army, the commercial garrison on the Chengguan couldn't stop the offensive of Xiqi army and was driven down the wall.

Then Yang Jian opened the city gate alone. Xiqi army immediately rushed in, and the city gate was lost.

After the city gate was lost, Xu Gai, the general guarding Chuanyun pass, ordered the lower part of his command to lead the troops to evacuate the city, while he personally led the soldiers behind the palace and was defeated in the city.

He was not captured in the end. After the general situation was over, in order not to be captured alive by Xiqi, he jumped into the sea of fire and burned himself to death.

Seeing this man's loyalty, Lu Zhi simply fulfilled him and shouted to Nezha, who wanted to capture people in the fire, to fulfill his loyalty.

There were still many loyal officials in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, such as Bigan, Wen Zhong, Zhang Guifang and now Xu Gai.

It's just a pity that they are entrusted by non-human beings. The emperor Xin Zhi's great talent is sparse. Now, they are playing such a foul game with the Nine Tailed Fox demon on the Yin Shang River and mountain. The people are living in poverty. How can they deserve the pay of these loyal people?

But then again, if it wasn't for the loyalty in their hearts, Bigan and Wen Zhong would not be immortal. They could only sigh that they were born at an untimely time and that their loyalty was entrusted to non-human beings.

The five passes from Xiqi to Chaoge city have gone three out of five now, leaving only the last two passes, Tongguan and Lintong pass.

Once these two levels are also lost, the way forward of Xiqi army will be unimpeded. Within half a month, it will be able to directly go to the Chaoge city!

However, Lu Zhi was not ready to continue attacking Tongguan, nor did he lead his troops out of the pass to catch up with the merchant troops withdrawn from Chuanyun pass. He just occupied Chuanyun pass, sent his Sergeant officials to suppress the unrest in the city, and waited for Jiang Ziya from the rear to take over the control of Chuanyun pass.

Unconsciously, another half month has passed. At this moment, the season has entered the early winter, and the climate this year is not very good. Just entering the winter, there was goose feather snow in the sky, and the Shang and Zhou sides also entered a truce that lasted for several months.

After winter, Lu Zhi finally had a few days of leisure time to return from the front line to Xiqi city for a few months.

On this day, Lu Zhizheng and long Ji are enjoying the snow in his handsome mansion. A snow chicken is still simmering on the charcoal stove. Long Ji is rare to be leisurely while warming wine.

"Qingzhi, you are so elegant. Do you enjoy the snow with Princess Longji?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhi and long Ji subconsciously turned around and followed the prestige. They were seeing the master xuandu in a green robe standing outside the pavilion and looking at them with a smile.

Lu Zhi quickly got up and saluted: "senior brother xuandu."

Long Ji also said, "I've seen master xuandu."

Master xuandu nodded at them and said, "don't be polite. I was ordered by the master to send something to Qingzhi today."

When he said that, he saw that the master xuandu's palm turned over, and there was a crystal clear sapphire bottle in his hand. There seemed to be golden ripples on the bottle body, which was revealed by streamer. It was very beautiful.

Even in the air, there was a faint fragrance, like sandalwood and flowers, elegant and indifferent, which made people relaxed and happy.

"Senior brother xuandu, what is this?"

Master xuandu said, "the water contained in this bottle is the water in the Western eight treasures pool. It is combined with the essence of the eight treasures and the pure power of merit and virtue. It is very mysterious."

"By soaking yourself in this pool, you can be reborn and refine the colored glass and scale free golden body... It was specially obtained by the master from the two western religious leaders for you."

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and recalled that Lao Jun had indeed asked the quasi Taoist for the eight treasure merit pool that day.

However, the eight treasures of merit and virtue pool can be said to be their lifeblood in the West. How can it really be sent out? Therefore, Lu Zhi can only be regarded as Lao Jun deliberately embarrassing the quasi Taoist.

But unexpectedly, at last, the quasi Taoist priest really sent out the water of the eight treasure merit pool. I have to say that Lao Jun really has a set. He not only cleaned up and taught the western people, but also gave Lu Zhimou a benefit. It is really an extraordinary means.

Lu Zhi thanked: "thank you, senior brother xuandu, for bringing me the eight treasures of merit and virtue. Please also say thanks to the elder martial brother for me when he returns."

Master xuandu nodded: "it should be... I wanted to find Lu Ya and ask for some demon family secrets from him, but Lu Ya went directly to the wa palace and begged Nu Wa for protection."

"Later, empress Nuwa sent someone to inform brother Wei. It's not good for brother Wei to embarrass the land pressure any more."

Lu Zhi couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard the speech. Although his eldest martial brother was very low-key on weekdays and looked like he didn't have a good reputation, it was enough to prove that master xuandu was powerful just because he could easily force Lu Ya to flee to the wa palace for shelter.

"But I'm bothering senior brother xuandu. I've been working hard for this." Lu Zhi said.

Master xuandu just waved his hand and said indifferently, "Qingzhi, why are you so polite? I've seen it outside... Well, the eight treasures of merit and virtue have also been delivered. Brother, I won't disturb your husband and wife to enjoy the snow and have a drink. I won't be the person who destroys the scenery."

"I'll go too!"

Seeing master xuandu go away and step into the wind and snow, he immediately disappeared in place without trace.

"Lu Lang, is this the water in the eight treasures pool of merit? I once heard the empress mother say that this pool of water is the supreme treasure of the West. It is rare in the world, but it is finally seen today." Longji came up and said.

Lu Zhi doesn't care much about it. He cares more about the follow-up.

Since the quasi Taoist sent the eight treasures of merit and virtue pool water as an apology, that is to say, he should have reached a settlement with the old gentleman, but he doesn't know what happened.

However, since Lao Jun and xuandu elder martial brother have not talked about it with him, he simply doesn't inquire about anything more. After all, the game between saints is really not something he can get into.

He shook his head, handed the jade bottle to Longji, satisfied her curiosity, and then said, "well, the snow chicken has been simmered. It's the time to taste it, so try it to see how it tastes."

Gradually, the wind and snow outside the pavilion gradually increased. The howling cold wind blew the goose feather and heavy snow into the pavilion. Obviously, it was not a good time to enjoy the snow. They put away the stove and went back to the room.

In March, the mountains in Xiqi were closed by heavy snow, which almost led to snow disaster. Fortunately, over the years, the people's livelihood in Xiqi has also developed steadily, with sufficient food and warm clothes, but it has not caused much damage to the people in Xiqi.

Even the prisoners who were sent to the mine for mining were ordered by Lu Zhi to suspend their operations in advance and properly resettled. It is rare to give them a few months' holiday.

Soon after, it was early spring. Everything recovered and the ice and snow melted. Although there was still a cold air in the air and the ice and snow in Xiqi had not melted away, Lu Zhi's holiday was over and returned to the Chuanyun pass on the front line.

On the other hand, the Shang army also began to prepare for the war earlier than Xiqi. Before the spring, nearly 200000 troops and 50000 people had been called from all over Tongguan to actively prepare for the war.

It can be seen that after several defeats, the Yin Shang side has begun to become anxious and afraid. This time, it almost gathered elite troops from all over the country and dispatched them to Tongguan and Lintong customs. It is obvious that it has the heart to fight a decisive battle with Xiqi.

However, it was not so easy for Yin Shang to successfully gather the world's elite troops and fight Xiqi.

After all, the princes who opposed the Yin Shang Dynasty were not just the Xiqi family. Rather, after seeing the imperial song army of the Yin Shang Dynasty defeated Xiqi several times, who in the world didn't have a different mind.

After all, today's Shang Dynasty is already an old attitude, and it no longer looks like it worked hard and invincible hundreds of years ago.
