South Wuzhou, South Main Peak.

There were only two people in Chang Shi's study, one was naturally Gu Zuo, and the other was the third lady who came here specially.

Gu Zuo's face was expressionless as he listened to Sanniangzi's low voice: "...Elder Yu threatened that if the Lishui Sect and Huaixian Pavilion stand together again, Qingcheng will go south to Yongchang."

"So, you are planning to quit?"

"Instead of quitting, we are going to find another way to stand with the patron."

"In what way?"

"The Lishui Sect no longer openly fights against the Jiedu Mansion. According to the Qingcheng Sect's request, we will repay the Jiedu Mansion with 100,000 yuan and...repair it with the Jiedu Mansion...but not really repair it.

, I led some monks to spontaneously join the Southern Wu Army and assist Gu Gu Gu in resisting the Jiedu Mansion."

"One hundred thousand guan... have you paid the reward money?"

"Hand in..."

After a long silence, Gu Zuo said: "I see, why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Sanniangzi was speechless. In fact, this question was easy to answer. During the internal discussions of the Lishui Sect, they did not even consider informing the Huaixian Pavilion in advance because everyone expected that the Huaixian Pavilion would strongly oppose it. Instead of doing so,

Pay the money first and then talk about it, and then find ways to ease the relationship between the two parties.

——For example, led by Sanniang Zi, some monks were sent to join the Southern Wu Army.

Gu Zuo took a deep breath and said: "Duan Yinsheng failed in retreat and passed away, and then you gave in. This gave Xian Yuxiang the illusion that he could attack me, so Shen Hongfu was sacrificed. Old Shen is the Taoist priest of Hongfu Temple

Chang, he has nothing to do with the world, he just went to Yizhou to buy gold sand..."

Sanniangzi has already learned about this matter. In fact, when the Lishui Sect was discussing whether to submit to Qingcheng, she fiercely opposed it and insisted on fighting side by side with the Huaixian Pavilion. However, Qingcheng was powerful, and most of the Lishui Sect monks were

Unable to resist, he finally decided to give in and pay the tribute to Jiedu Mansion.

But Sanniangzi couldn't tell these inside stories, and she didn't want to shirk her responsibilities. She just said: "We didn't expect that Xian Yuxiang would dare to do such an unscrupulous thing and take the flag of Daoist Shen as a sacrifice. I will bring people here this time.

, I am planning to work with Master Gu to avenge Fellow Daoist Shen. I will never return to Lishui until I kill Xian Yuxiang!"

It is undeniable that the Lishui faction was indeed afraid and retreated. Their previous vows were worthless in the face of the survival of the Zhao Kingdom. However, due to Sanniangzi's persistence, they still fulfilled some of their obligations as allies and sent people to join the Southern Wu Army.

, fighting together with Huaixian Pavilion.

Faced with such a situation, Gu Zuo couldn't get angry, and he felt uncomfortable even if he didn't get angry. He almost suffered internal injuries and really wanted to scold them as "a rat with two ends"!

But Sanniangzi came to help, Gu Zuo could only suppress his displeasure, and said clearly: "The fortress is always captured from the inside, so I hope Sanniangzi will go over the people you brought to see what's going on."

How many of them are sincerely willing to kill the enemy, and how many of them are unwilling to do so, so as to avoid changes that we don’t want to see happen when the fight actually breaks out."

The Sanniangzi was unsure and could only nod her head: "I'll talk to them again. If they're hesitant, let them go back. But I believe most of the more than 500 people I brought here can be put to great use.

"

Gu Zuodao: "After sorting it out, I feel wronged that Sanniang is acting with the army under the designation of Lishui Camp. Although you have a high level of cultivation, if you are involved in war, you still have to abide by military laws and accept deployment."

Sanniangzi continued to nod: "This is natural."

After finishing the conversation with difficulty, the third lady went down to reorganize the Lishui Camp. Gu Zuo turned around and continued to stare at the map of Nanzhao on the table in a daze.

The actions of the Lishui Sect aroused the anger of the senior officials of the Huaixian Pavilion. Taoist priest Yuan, Cheng Shanhu and others all suggested breaking off diplomatic relations with the Lishui Sect. Even the butcher, who rarely expressed his views, was deeply dissatisfied with this.

After they vented their feelings, Gu Zuo asked three questions:

If they completely break off diplomatic relations with the Lishui faction, will they completely switch to the Qingcheng faction, and will they even send troops to help the Jiedu Mansion?

Will the more than 500 Lishui monks who joined the Nanwu Army help the battle?

Does Huaixian Pavilion need Sanniangzi, a Nascent Soul monk, to help out?

These three questions silenced everyone. In matters of military and national affairs, there really is no room for emotion. No matter how unhappy you are, you can only accept it. Everyone has to smile at the monks from the Lishui camp brought by Sanniangzi.

Facing a group of unhappy men, Gu Zuo said: "The Lishui faction does not dare to raise troops openly. Now we at Huaixian Pavilion are left to fight alone. Therefore, we need to climb this mountain ourselves. But this is really a bad thing.

What?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Zuo said boldly: "We climbed the mountain ourselves, and only we can see the scenery on the mountain!"

Huaixianguan fought against Jiannan Jiedufu alone, and it was really encouraging to say that. Now, the mood in Changshi's study became high again.

Liu Xuanji reported: "Gu You, who joined the army in Zizhou, vomited yesterday. He is willing to surrender to Nanwu State anyway. Chief Shi, do you think he will be used to sacrifice the flag when we go to war tomorrow?"

Cheng Shanhu said disdainfully: "You're already dead, and you're still afraid? You have to chop it off to avenge Lao Shen!"

Taoist priest Yuan asked: "Didn't this person have very hard bones before? Why is he falling down again?"

Liu Xuanji said helplessly: "I just told the truth yesterday. He said that for the first time, he realized that for him, being tortured is actually like practicing cultivation. The harder the beating, the more comfortable he will be."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and listened to Liu Xuanji continue: "This guy never believed that we really dared to kill him, but when he heard that Fellow Daoist Shen was suffering, and gave him a decapitation meal last night, he immediately gave up.

I just ask Chang Shi to spare him."

Gu Zuo also laughed, then sighed: "It's too late to beg for mercy now."

On the first day of August, there was a grand martial arts performance in Shuangfeng Town. The stands with nearly 2,000 people were packed. "People from all walks of life" from Nanwuzhou, Heishanzhao, Tonghaizhao, and even "representatives" of Lingnan Province came to the scene to participate in the grand event.

On the high platform for martial arts performance in the center of the venue, a handsome scroll with the character "Gu" fluttering in the wind, two large flags of "Southern Wu Army" and "Huaixian Pavilion" were arranged on the side, and various war drums and gold gongs were surrounding the surroundings, creating a murderous atmosphere.

Under the high platform, a military formation composed of thousands of monks was surrounded on all sides in a strict formation.

Gu Zuo, wearing armor all over his body, climbed onto the high platform surrounded by Butcher, Cheng Shanhu, Luo Jun, Yuan Taoist Priest, Liu Xuanji and others.

Elder Shang also came out of seclusion and followed Gu Zuo. He had completed the golden elixir transformation of the Soul Searching Technique and became the highest-level Taoist soldier in Gu Zuo's Qihai Cave Mansion. At this moment, Huaixian Pavilion was about to

When I met the swordsmen of Jiedu Mansion, I didn't care about seclusion and rushing to the border. I was going to finish the battle first.

The audience suddenly burst into thunderous cheers. In the cheers, Gu Zuo raised his hands in all directions, causing even more enthusiastic cheers.

The cheers and applause continued for a long time, and Gu Zuo had no choice but to press down with both hands, and then the silence of the martial arts arena was restored.

Gu Zuo gestured behind him: "Read it!"
