In the cave, the light is dark.

The master of the Zongheng Road fell and sat on the steps. After Huo Qubing came in, Qu Jun stepped forward to check his breath and his heartbeat had stopped.

"People are dead."

Qu Jun uncovered the bronze mask on the face of the Lord of the Zongheng Road.

This mask carved many spells, which are things that have been passed down for a long time on the road.

Under the mask was a pale face, with a high and slightly curved nose, majestic in the sinisterness, with wide eyes, and unawareness of death.

Huo Qubing turned his head to look at the cave. The arc-shaped top of the cave was ring-shaped inside. In addition to the entrance, there were two channels behind, extending to the depths of the mountain belly.

Huo Qubing's thoughts spread out, feeling the arrangement and...secrets deep in the cave.

Under his powerful perception, it is difficult to hide secrets. This is actually a special cave. In ancient legend, there was a place where immortals had once perished. It was occupied by the mountain road and expanded to form a settlement.

There are other mysteries hidden in this mountain belly!

Huo Qubing leaned over and took off the lumbar bag of the Zonghengdao Master and took it in his hand to check it.

"The dead Lord of Zongheng Dao...is a substitute."

When Huo Qubing spoke, he sent the power obtained from practicing the seven Yin Fu techniques of this sutra into the bronze mask.

The spell engraved on the mask emitted an invisible halo, and a trace of energy was connected to the rock wall on one side.

Huo Qubing winked.

Qu Jun and Yue Rao were both good at detecting and investigating, so they immediately stepped forward and carefully groped on the rock wall.

"You don't have to look for it..."

An old voice rang out.

The rock wall slips silently, revealing another hidden space behind the rock wall. Its area is not large and it is clear at a glance.

There was a short mat inside, and an old man also fell behind the mat, with white hair and weak expression.

The old man had a long face, high cheekbones, and tall body. He sat there with great momentum. His eyes looked at Huo Qubing with gloomy eyes: "How do you see that he is a substitute? I think there is no flaw in it."

Huo Qubing followed Song Ran and Qu Jun, who looked surprised, and came to the entrance of the hidden cave. After thinking about it, he gave a response:

"His practice is too weak. He should have taken a shortcut with your help and barely reached the realm of heaven and man. He can only stay at the initial realm of heaven and man for life, and his strength is far less powerful than the power obtained by his own practice.

As a sect with a long history, the leader should not be so weak.

More importantly, I will lead the army to attack... Once you are defeated, the road will completely disappear.

A good leader will not just block everything like this, and lead the crowd and the housekeeper to fight for life without hesitation. So what if you win, you will only be subject to stronger conquests.

If you are so reckless, you can block the fate of the entire sect, and the road of the sect will not last for the present.

There are many similar flaws, such as he has no body and only has such a mask.

These together, this road that openly appeared is mainly stupid, or there is another reason.”

"If I'm not mistaken, this should not be the entire power of the Longshan Road, but an integral part of the Longshan Road."

The old man sitting in the hidden space said in a deep voice:

"You haven't said anything else. The most important thing is that you can perceive some changes in the qi in this cave through the seven techniques of Yin Fu.

I didn't expect to meet someone who had practiced this sutra. With my breath, I realized my plan to hide in the darkness again."

"It's a pity... you're late."

The old man's aura suddenly weakened and there was no more blood on his face.

He spread his chest open, and there was a small penetrating injury in his chest, which had lost his vitality and blood began to seep from the middle of his eyebrows.

"The person behind you find that the road behind you is exposed, and you want to kill you?"

Huo Qubing said in a deep voice: "Who are they?"

"This is at least most of my foundation in the road, and it will be destroyed by you."

The old man said bleakly: "I won't tell you anything. I believe that you will die soon. Let me be buried with you."

The corners of his mouth also began to hemorrhage: "I will have someone finish my business for me..."

Qu Jun stepped forward, looked back and said, "Shizhong Huo, this one is dead too."

I just found the hidden part of the cave and found the old man. I thought that things would be a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that it would be a failure again in a blink of an eye.

The sword energy derived from the soul that Liu Qing sacrificed was first approaching the cave, but when I came in, the sword energy was gone... Huo Qubing thought to himself.

"Shizhong Huo, I later found out that this is the Lord of the Zongheng Dao?" Song Ran was a little embarrassed and couldn't help asking.

"It should be, but it has become an abandoned son." Huo Qubing said calmly.

Chang'an.

Liu Che has been watching Huo Qubing leads his troops to raid the crossroads through the map of the country.

When the Han army broke through the mountain gate of the crossroads and Huo Qubing stood on the hill, Liu Che looked happy.

He looked at Huo Qubing as if he was watching himself at the age of seventeen, full of energy and sharpness.

To a certain extent, Huo Qubing's appearance made up for his regret that as an emperor, he was unable to fight on the battlefield.

In a trance, I have been ascending the throne for seventeen years. Looking back, how many of the ambitions I made back then have come true... Liu Che asked himself in his heart.

When Huo Qubing entered the mountain belly, he stretched out his hand and wiped it out, eliminating the picture of the map of the country.

Anyone can see that the outcome is decided.

Huo Qubing led two hundred troops and swept across the road.

The sharp and rapid development of the Han army and its invincible attack power still make people's pores stand upside down at this moment, and they feel a sense of strong throbbing and resonance.

Having such an army and generals makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

Zhou Ping lowered his head quietly and glanced at his forearm. The goose bumps there had not yet calmed down.

A moment of tranquility appeared in the study room, without any sound.

Only Liu Che predicted the result before the battle began.

What is a little regretful is that I still have not finished my wish, and the road of the mountain is obviously not enough to stimulate Huo Qubing's full combat power.

Liu Che swept over everyone, Princess Pingyang's face was expressionless, Zhou Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

Only Zhang Xiaoyuan was a little shy and the shock on his face had just calmed down.

He was still shocked by the battle just now... Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't think there was something wrong with his previous analysis.

Huo Qubing clearly had a hard expedition, his opponent had a good location and a superior number of people, but the results were completely different.

Zhang Xiaoyuan quickly outlined and deduced the process just now in his mind, and concluded that whoever encountered Huo Qubing's sharp offensive just now would be quickly defeated under the impact of that speedy cavalry.

The result can only be changed unless the charge process of the Han army can be curbed and the troops of the same quality are at the same level.

"Our Han army's elite cavalry is indeed strong enough." Princess Pingyang said.

She did not deny the strength of the Han army, but did not mention Huo Qubing's leadership. In other words, she felt that if other generals could win this battle.

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked respectful: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, our Han army is so strong that we are far beyond our expectations. Just now, the lower-level officials lack understanding of the strength of our Han army.

With such a strong army, we will surely promote the power of our great man, and our subordinates will not make the same mistakes again in the future."

"You are still a citizen, not a minister."

Liu Che said lightly: "Just just now, he led the army to attack the enemy's formation. At that time, the fighter planes were fleeting. Just hesitate and the opponent reacted, and the defense measures would be used, and the consumption of our army would inevitably increase greatly.

Huibian's grasp of the battle situation at that time seemed simple, but in fact it was exquisite. His cohesion with the tribes made everyone willing to attack him after a long-distance raid, and he was united in his heart.

Are these what ordinary generals can do?

No one can see that when you wait?"

Zhou Ping lowered his head silently, and Zhang Xiaoyuan had already turned into a kneeling position, with his head pressing down very low.

Princess Pingyang reached out to hold the cup and took a sip of hot tea.

"I have something to do, please wait."

Liu Che did not mention the candidate for the Shizhong who replaced Huo Qubing, and was obviously not satisfied with Zhang Xiaoyuan's performance.

Zhang Xiaoyuan's face was depressed, which was contrasted with the excitement just now.

Who would have thought that if the opponent had the advantage, he would be defeated so easily by Huo Qubing.

It was not until Princess Pingyang and Zhou Ping bowed and said goodbye that Zhang Xiaoyuan stood up.

Princess Pingyang left the palace along the road, got on the chariot, looked back at Zhang Xiaoyuan: "I thought you really knew about military affairs, it seems that you want to continue studying hard!"

After saying that, he got into the car and left.

Today's change was originally an appointment with Zhou Ping, and she was preparing to jointly recommend Zhang Xiaoyuan in front of Liu Che to facilitate this.

I didn't expect that things were changing a lot and expectations were far apart.

What happened just now also made Princess Pingyang realize that she wanted to beat Huo Qubing and his aunt.
