Exorcism

The princess came, bringing reinforcements, hope, and a battle of life and death. ybd,

King Xijie had only one legitimate daughter, so "princess" became the only title. She was Xin Youtao's sister. She led a huge army from the south. With the help of a large number of talismans, the army worked non-stop and finally arrived in time. , and even earned two days of rest.

A total of four thousand cavalry and one hundred Fulu divisions entered the camp outside the city in neat lines. The people watching on the streets kept cheering. What they saw was not a temporary patchwork of city defenders, but a uniformed army. The regular army with distinctive armor and high morale, covered in armor from head to toe, and riding on tall horses, looks like a group of giant soldiers with strict disciplines, making the viewers gasp and feel in awe.

When the princess retreated from Xijie City in advance, she took a thousand royal purple talisman troops with her. She knew that the scattered force could not stop the demon army, so she went directly to the northwestmost border, and from there she gathered another 3,000 elite black talisman troops. and a large number of Fu Lu masters, and then turned all the way to the southwest, almost keeping pace with the demon army.

The capital was destroyed, and the last army of the Xijie Kingdom was preserved. The princess did not know at the time that there was a small Duanliu City guarding the southeast. Her original intention was to ask for help from the vassal states in the southwest, and then the various armies and the Shengfu Dynasty The army gathered together, and with the help of Taoism's power in Luanjing Mountain, they launched a decisive battle with the demon clan. After winning, they took advantage of the situation to take back their homeland.

When she heard that her younger brother Xin Youtao was guarding Duanliu City, the princess immediately changed her mind and led her army to bypass the demon clan's vanguard and rush to the last city of Xijie Kingdom for support. She never wrote a letter because she was worried that the flying talisman would be intercepted by the demon clan.

Thanks to the efforts of Mu Xingqiu and others, the people's hearts in Duanliu City were like an inflated bag. It looked full, but there wasn't much inside. The army brought by the princess finally filled the vacancy. The Xuanfu Army also brought more good news. Behind them were six armies from vassal states and an army from the Shengfu Dynasty. After adding them all together, the number of demon soldiers will be greatly exceeded.

Duanliu City was full of festive atmosphere. When the princess entered the city with only dozens of guards, the road was almost completely blocked by enthusiastic people. The princess followed royal etiquette and stayed in the carriage without showing up. Three of her On her behalf, the personal maid accepts the people's kneeling prayers and bestows blessings.

As a result, the princess's carriage and horse team moved very slowly. They set off at noon and did not arrive at the military camp until evening. Instead of choosing to live in the city guard's mansion, she decided to meet the city defenders in the military camp.

The soldiers of the Xuanfu Army in the city had been waiting eagerly all afternoon. When they saw the royal family's flag in the distance, they all knelt down. Even the monks who wanted to watch the fun also knelt down. Some people wanted to cast a few gorgeous spells to celebrate, but the monks around them persuaded them. This is a princess, not an ordinary citizen, so it is better not to be embarrassed.

The Pangshan Taoist priests did not come out to greet him. Only Mu Xingqiu stood at the gate of the military camp as a general and did not kneel down.

Even when the war was in turmoil and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, some rules were still not broken, and the welcoming ceremony at the entrance of the military camp continued for a while. A palace maid encouraged all the soldiers on behalf of the princess, and especially thanked Taoist Priest Pangshan and the monks who came to support her. Her words were elegant but quite lengthy. Mu Xingqiu found it hard to believe that this was what the princess had come up with.

In the main hall of the military camp, Mu Xingqiu formally handed over the command of the city's Xuanfu Army and his title of "general" to the general of Xijie Kingdom brought by the princess, and finally regained his status as a Taoist priest. The handover process was modest and reasonable, and Mu Xingqiu had been reminded beforehand. So I dealt with it fairly well, but I was a little impatient.

The princess herself finally appeared, veiled. Mu Xingqiu remembered that beautiful face that made people feel happy. He nodded in greeting without giving a big gift like other generals. Due to Zuo Liuying's appointment, he represented the entire Pangshan Taoism at this time, even in front of the royal family. kneel.

The princess sat on the main seat, with two palace maids and four guards on each side. This time she spoke herself, without using the palace maids to speak for her. "Time is urgent. The day after tomorrow is the day when the demon army attacks. I hope you can come up with it immediately." Come up with a battle plan.”

A total of eleven generals attended the meeting. One of them was a senior talisman master, a gray-haired old man. When he met Mu Xingqiu, he asked his name twice. He was swaying in his chair and seemed to be just like this. I fell into sleep, never intending to wake up again.

The status of other generals ranged from high to low. A tall old man wearing a purple cloak was respected. His surname was Xin, and he must be a member of the royal family. Everyone called him "Master Taifu".

Only Mu Xingqiu was an outsider, representing Taoist Priest Pangshan and dozens of monks. No one else was qualified to participate in this military meeting.

Taifu Xin stood up, glanced majestically at the people present, nodded slightly to Mu Xingqiu, and bowed lightly to the princess, "I and the generals have reached an agreement that tomorrow the people in the city will be sent to Dongjie Kingdom. Then the army evacuated Duanliu City and continued to implement the strategy formulated by Her Royal Highness - to avoid the enemy's edge. "

He spoke very briefly, trying to treat this as the princess's idea, but there was an undeniable arrogance in his tone, and he had no intention of discussing it with anyone.

Mu Xingqiu's position was quite special. He was a guest, a Taoist priest, and the previous actual manager of Duanliu City. Therefore, he sat in the first place on the princess' left hand, opposite Taifu Xin.

This was his first time trying to figure out the mentality and emotions of the nobles. It was much harder than feeling the crowd. He had long discovered that the first layer of the illusion was more direct and effective in grasping the hearts of the group. On the contrary, it seemed a bit weak when applied to individuals. , eleven generals, neither too many nor too few, but Mu Xingqiu was unable to break through.

Everyone in the main hall, including the drowsy old Talisman Master, was experiencing rapid and regular mood swings, like insects flapping their wings in the air. It was so fast that it was difficult to observe, but on the surface their expressions were... Extremely determined, as if he had already made up his mind without any hesitation.

Mu Xingqiu slowly saw the truth clearly. There were two completely opposite emotions in the room, coming from the princess and Taifu Xin respectively. The emotions of everyone else were swinging between these two people. The rapid fluctuations he felt were actually The generals are trying to figure out the hearts of their superiors.

He met a group of peers, but without the support of mind-reading spells. Mu Xingqiu almost laughed out loud, so he held it back and continued to observe, not particularly paying attention to what Taifu Xin was saying.

The princess was silent for a while, as if waiting for someone to stand up and refute, and finally had to name her. "What do you think, Mr. Fu?"

The old talisman master shook twice as if he had been awakened, and his wrinkled face was full of confusion, "Huh? My opinion... This, avoiding the enemy's edge is a good choice. Your Majesty Taifu, Princess, we have always The execution was good, and so many people were saved this time..."

He rambled for a long time, and in the end he even forgot what he was talking about, and his words did not match his words.

Taifu Xin waved his hand at the old talisman master. Signing for him to shut up, "I understand, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still a little hesitant. After all, Duanliu City is the last city of the Xijie Kingdom. If you throw it away, the Xijie Kingdom will have no more land. But the situation is like this, the demon clan has many soldiers, and there are many generals. There is a demon mountain opening the way, and the Duanliu City cannot stop it, even the thousands of Zifu Army and Xuanfu Army. The Xijie Kingdom's only army can avoid the main force of the demon army and wait for the opportunity to regain the territory. We all think so."

The generals nodded, but not too enthusiastically, more like perfunctory.

The princess spoke calmly, as if she had never met Taoist Pangshan before.

Mu Xingqiu stood up and nodded to the princess and all the generals present. Everyone returned the greeting. Only Taifu Xin seemed reluctant but did not raise any objection.

"Before I express my thoughts, I want to talk about Pangshan Taoism's decision: There is a reason why we stopped in Duanliu City. We will not leave Duanliu City until the matter is resolved, at least within a few days. "

The generals were surprised that a young Taoist priest actually spoke in such an impolite and strong tone - in their view, Pangshan was ruined and the Taoist priests in Pangshan lost their previous status, so they should be more humble.

The old Fu Lu master looked at him with one eye. The other generals coughed or adjusted their sitting postures to hide their embarrassment. Only Taifu Xin snorted coldly, "Does the Pangshan Taoist order plan to fight ten thousand demon soldiers alone?"

"Next, I will tell you some of my thoughts. I hope that the troops of Xijie Kingdom can stay and defend the city together with Pangshan Dao."

Just as Taifu Xin was about to refute, the princess had already jumped in and asked in an interested tone: "Why? The situation here is obviously not good for us."

The princess had already asked a question, and Taifu Xin had no choice but to shut up.

"Exiting Duanliu City will be even more detrimental to the Xijie Kingdom." Mu Xingqiu glanced at the generals again, "I don't understand the affairs between the vassal states, but as a Pangshan Taoist priest, I know one thing. The country spreads unclean air, and wherever the demon soldiers capture it, the unclean air will cover it. If they give up Duanliu City, the Xisuke Army will lose their foothold in the country. When the unclean air finally takes shape, The entire Xijie Kingdom will become part of the Demon Land, and it will be even harder to take it back than it is now.”

As soon as Mu Xingqiu finished speaking, Taifu Xin immediately responded: "What Master Mu Taoist said makes sense, but I want to tell you the truth. The Shengfu Dynasty and various princely states did send troops, but they were not here to support Xijie Kingdom. Yes, they are parked hundreds of miles away, even further than the demon army, and they will only release a bunch of eagle-eye flying talismans to watch the battle. Do you understand? Duanliu City is still an isolated city, and there is no help at all. "

"Before you arrived, there were only a thousand soldiers in Duanliu City, but we never thought about escaping. knsh.co I have been persuading people all over the city to go to Dongjie Kingdom, but he would rather take the risk and stay in his own country." Mu Xingqiu His tone was calm. He didn't want to argue with anyone. Mental illusion is a kind of spell. Language is just a means of casting the spell, not the spell itself. There is no point in shouting. "So I don't understand. How many times the amount of magic is being increased?" After reinforcements, why did running away become the only option?”

Taifu Xin's face changed suddenly, he felt that he had been publicly humiliated, and the mental illusion could not change his mood at this time, "Let's tell the truth, Pangshan Taoism is finished, you are a group of fugitives, trying to use Xisuke* The * team can't do it for you. I will never allow the last five thousand soldiers of Xijie Kingdom to die here. It's your business and we won't accompany you!"

Taifu Xin's voice became more and more severe, but Mu Xingqiu's tone became even calmer, "Don't you understand, Taifu? Xijie Kingdom and Pangshan are also in complete defeat. The determination to die is our only hope. Introducing the demon army The Dongjie Kingdom will not allow you to regain your homeland, it will only make the Xijie Army lose the value of its existence. "

Mu Xingqiu stared closely at Taifu Xin across from him, and the nine methods of leading the beast's nine transformations were running at the same time. He was using the strongest illusion to collect the changes in emotions and guide them - he could not change those strong emotions, but he could Let it burst out.
