Chapter 30: Riding the Wind
Indeed, although Xiong Qi's current strength is not as strong as Tong Lao's eighty years of profound skills, it is hard to find an opponent in the world.
When his skills increase day by day in the future, his martial arts will be just around the corner.
Of course, Xiong Qizhi is not here, but there is no need to mention it with Tong Lao.
After a pause, Tong Lao continued:
"Next, I have nothing to teach you. Piaomiao Peak is full of women. It is not convenient for you to live here. Let's go down the mountain!"
When Xiong Qi was stunned when he heard that Tong Lao suddenly issued an order to expel the guest, he immediately understood Tong Lao's thoughts.
After the incident of the Ice Cellar of the Xixia Palace, I knew that Wuyazi had never cared about him from beginning to end. Tong Lao felt somewhat disappointed, and in addition, he was nearly a hundred years old and no longer interested in external affairs.
The main reason for bringing Xiong Qi to Piaomiao Peak and giving him all his gifts was actually his identity as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect.
In fact, it is quite sad. A woman likes a man for the rest of her life, but finds that the other person has never taken him to heart. That feeling is miserable enough to think about.
Nowadays, Tong Lao is not interested in anything and just wants to stay alone on Piaomiao Peak.
In the past six months, Xiong Qi has learned all the martial arts mathematics in Piaomiaofeng, so she naturally ordered her to be expelled without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Xiong Qi knew that he should leave, clasped his fists and said solemnly:
"Thank you for your advice these days, my senior sister, I will say goodbye now!"
After thinking about it, Xiong Qi said again:
"Looking back, I will ask Senior Nephew Su Xinghe to come and greet his senior sister. When the matter is related to Senior Brother Wuyazi, Senior Sister can ask him in detail!"
"No need!"
Tong Lao said lightly:
"Grandma is not interested in meeting people outside Piaomiao Peak, so I will leave the Xiaoyao Sect to you. Junior brother will walk the way!"
This is the first time that Tong Lao called Xiong Qi "Junior Brother", and it is probably the last time.
Feeling Tong Lao's sadness that was more than death, Xiong Qi sighed inwardly, bowed to Tong Lao, and then went back to the house to get the "Tai'a" sword.
Outside the gate of Piaomiao Peak, Xiong Qi bowed to Tong Lao again, turned around and floated down the mountain.
...
In the wilderness.
Xiong Qi was wearing a white brocade robe, and the Beiming true energy was swelling in his body. He tapped the ground with his toes, and his body rushed forward five or six feet, and in an instant he floated dozens of feet away.
Feeling the abundant true energy in the body and the strong wind wiping through the skin, Xiong Qi was in a great mood in the vast wilderness ahead, and he felt a sense of freedom of "Liezi walking with the wind".
Although in this world, his speed is far better than that of today by running on his body alone, driven by the internal energy, he felt completely different when he was almost flying in the air.
Although the three elders of Xiaoyao died and disappeared, they at least kept the two. He, the leader who had just taken office, was also competent. Next, he just wanted to kill the old monster Ding Chunqiu, the star constellation.
He now has the Beiming Divine Art for a hundred years, and his martial arts realm has also entered the innate realm. He can be called a master and his martial arts are above Ding Chunqiu.
However, if you want to make sure that it does not run away, it is best to practice for a few more years.
After all, his practice for one year is equivalent to twenty years of ordinary people's practice. The difference is so big. As long as he practices for another three or five years, let alone one Ding Chunqiu, even a few more people will be solved together.
The lifespan of a congenital master is generally more than one hundred under normal circumstances, so there is no need to worry at all.
"You need to read the Book of Changes more, otherwise you won't be able to learn Lingbo and Weibu!"
Looking up at the distance, Xiong Qi murmured to himself.
"Lingbo Weibu" is a light craft recorded in the Beiming Divine Art. Practice requires a deep attainment in the "Book of Changes". Xiong Qi did not have a deep understanding of this area, so he has not learned it yet.
However, now mastering all the martial arts of Xiaoyao Sect, light skills, etc. are no exception. Xiong Qi's light skills have been promoted to the highest level in the world, and he is not so anxious to practice Lingbo Weibu.
Piaomiao Peak is located in Tianshan Mountains, located in Xixia. It takes half a month to return to the capital of the Song Dynasty in Kaifeng, Henan.
There is nothing left and right, Xiong Qi simply walks and looks at it, and appreciates the natural scenery and humanistic interests of this era.
Along the way, Xia soldiers were often seen appearing in groups on the road, and many cavalry gathered towards major prefectures. Xixia seemed to be preparing for war.
Thinking about the news he heard in the Xixia Palace, Xiong Qi thought secretly, could Xixia have fought with the Song army?
He left the capital for nearly a year and did not know the current situation in the two countries. He only knew that Empress Dowager Gao was seriously ill when he left.
According to historical records, Empress Dowager Gao died of illness recently, and then Zhao Xu took power and carried out his reforms that continued the period of Emperor Shenzong of Song, and his glorious careers of the two battles of Xia and the Battle of Hehuang.
However, there are only a few records in historical books. What is specific? It is not in the capital and far away from the government center. Xiong Qi is also blinded by the current situation in the Song and Xia countries.
On a dark and windy night, Xiong Qi sneaked into a gathering place of the Xia army and stumbled around, and finally got a preliminary understanding of the confrontation between the two countries.
It turned out that since Empress Dowager Gao passed away half a year ago, Xixia has gathered heavy troops and invaded the borders of the Song Dynasty many times, and threatened to cede the territory of the Song court before he would give up.
According to past practice, Xixia thought that when the Song Dynasty was dead, the court had no master, so it would definitely send people to negotiate peace. At most, it demanded bargaining against the Xia army, but cede land was inevitable.
Unexpectedly, the emperor of Song Ting did not buy it at all. Not only did he expel the envoys of Xixia, but he also carried out a series of personnel mobilizations, and the same troops were under his command on the border of Song and Xia, intending to fight against Xixia head-on.
Among them, the new party's hardline Lu Huiqing was transferred to the frontier of the two armies and appointed as the strategic envoy of the Fuyan Road, presided over the overall situation of the war between the two armies.
In terms of military generals, Wang Wenyu was appointed as the Xihe Road Strategic Envoy, and the famous general Zhang Yue served as the Jingyuan Road Strategic Envoy.
Inside the capital, Han Zhongyan and other old parties were dismissed and Wang Anshi's new policy was re-activated.
The series of personnel transfers by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty all show that his tough attitude is absolutely unconsidered and there is no possibility of cede the land and seeking peace.
Faced with Song Ting's tough attitude, the Western Xia was naturally furious. With Song Ting's efforts to discuss peace for a long time, the already arrogant ruler and minister of Xixia immediately decided to launch a war.
Xiong Qi's first company searched in the Xixia army for three days. He learned that in the past month, the Song army's Fuyan Road Strategy Envoy Lu Huiqing, since taking office, has not only actively prepared for war, but also organized many attacks, which has caused Xixia to suffer a lot.
However, this action also made the Xixia court furious. Based on the chat content of the Xixia generals, Xiong Qi learned that the Xixia emperor was gathering troops from all over the country and preparing to defeat Lu Huiqing's troops on Fuyan Road in one fell swoop.
At present, half of the Song army led by Lu Huiqing is in Yanzhou City, and the other half is stationed outside Yanzhou City, divided into more than 20 squads, often leaving troops to harass the Xia army.
This time, after the Xia army gathered, they would divide their troops into three groups and march towards Yanzhou City.
"Lu Huiqing? It seems to be the second person in Wang Anshi's reform!"
After inquiring clearly, Xiong Qi pulled his chin and thought to himself.
Historically, although the reform was dominated by Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi was a bit old-fashioned and disagreeable. During the Song Shenzong era, the new law was implemented, and Lu Huiqing played a great role.
Of course, the new law has too much obstacles, and Emperor Shenzong of Song was then left behind by Empress Dowager Gao. Zhao Xu did not live for a few years. Later, both the new and old parties became party-related disputes and there was no trace of a new policy.
"I didn't expect that this Lu Huiqing is quite good at military affairs, and she is still a very radical way of fighting!"
