After a while, his whole body twitched slightly. When the man in a leopard-skinned robe with a slightly pale complexion couldn't help but suck in the cold air, Hu Xue let go of his arm, raised her head, revealing his blood-stained red lips and jade teeth, and a strange blush appeared on his pretty face, which made him look even more charming and charming.?

"Haha..." The man in a leopard skin robe with a slightly shaking body looked at Hu Xue's beautiful and charming appearance, and couldn't help but look obsessed with a trembling voice: "Sister Xue'er, you are too cruel, you want Brother Leopard's life!"

Hu Xue, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then opened her eyes and looked at the man in the leopard skin robe and smiled charmingly: "Brother Leopard, I have tried my best to control it!"

"Hu Xue, if you can't control the power in your body, you will sooner or later lose your life!" The one-horned black dragon shone with black light on his body, turning into a tall and thin middle-aged man, frowned and looked at Hu Xue.

Hu Xue couldn't help but give him a blank look when she heard this: "Control? It's easy to say! If it's so easy to control, I won't have to have such a headache! Boss Long, if I can really control the bloodthirsty evil spirit in my body perfectly, I'm afraid you may not be my opponent!"

"Okay, stop talking! Let's go!" Yang Fan frowned slightly and said impatiently: "The Tang army has captured Xuanwu Pass, we have to rush back to Baihu Pass as soon as possible to prepare."

As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, Hu Xue glared at him unhappily: "Yang Fan, if you weren't going to Xuanwu Pass, I wouldn't be hurt. Damn, you can't steal a chicken and lose a lot of rice. Now you're happy?"

"If I didn't come here, how could I find out some of the Tang army's details?" Yang Fan, whose eyes flashed with a sharp light, looked slightly cold, but he still held back the anger in his heart and said calmly.

The black bear spirit, who also turned into a strong man in the iron tower, grinned and said, "Okay! Let's not delay here, otherwise the masters of the Tang army will chase him. It will be another trouble."

"Hmph! It's better to kill me, just to relieve me," Hu Xue snorted coldly: "Boss Long is here, what are you afraid of?"

When Yang Fan heard this, he frowned and shouted, "Hu Xue, don't be too confident! Even I am seriously injured. Do you really think that there are ordinary people in the Tang army who have a lot of wine and food?"

"That's just that you are stupid, you don't need to have treasures. But you're fighting with others like a general competing in martial arts. Who can be blamed for being injured?" Hu Xue curled her lips.

Yang Fan was so angry that he groaned and flew straight toward the western sky.

"Oh, Sister Xueer, please say a few words!" The man in the leopard-skinned robe said with a smile, and at the same time, he reached out to pull Hu Xue's jade wrist and turned into a gust of wind and chased Yang Fan in the direction of leaving.

The strong man and tall and thin middle-aged black dragon who looked at each other were also busy and followed.

...

In the quiet room of the Diao Mansion in Xuanwu Pass, only Shan Ximu sat cross-legged on the bed, his body was full of light, and a hint of cold mist was shrouded in the room, making the whole room full of coolness.

A sudden knock on the door sounded, and Dou Yihu's voice came: "Brother!"

"Huh!" Shan Ximu, who was lightly relaxed, coughed lightly, and his face, which had been slightly regained a little flushed, turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. His entire aura was also a little slim, and a slightly weak voice came from his mouth: "Come in!"

With a squeak, Dou Yihu, who pushed open the door and came in, saw Shan Ximu's appearance, couldn't help but change his expression slightly and said, "Brother, why haven't your injuries improved at all?"

"I was very injured this time, how could I heal so quickly?" Shan Ximu, who shook his head slightly, said with a headache: "I'm so anxious to find me, are you a marshal and the others here?"

Dou Yihu nodded and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Brother, the marshal and the others have entered Xuanwu Pass."

"Oh? So fast? I wasn't stationed outside the pass. It seems that I'm really impatient!" Shan Ximu, who raised his eyebrows and showed an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, got up and got out of bed: "Let's go, take me to see the marshal."

Dou Yihu, who nodded and responded, hurriedly went to see Li Luanhu with Shan Ximu.

In a reception hall in Diao Mansion, Li Luanhu sat high above the main seat, with a smile on the surface, but deep in his eyes there was an unconcealed anger and coldness.

On both sides below, many generals of the Tang army were also present, including Diao Yingxiang, Diao Yue'e and his daughter who had surrendered.

When he heard the legend of the personal soldiers, Shan Ximu and Dou Yihu were asking for a meeting, Li Luanhu's eyes shrank slightly, then he stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Haha, General Shan, entered Xuanwu Pass alone, broke Yang Fan's conspiracy, and captured Xuanwu Pass, which was an indispensable contribution!"

"The Marshal has been talking! The last general is just a lucky person to make such a contribution. Cough cough..." Shan Ximu entered the hall accompanied by Dou Yihu, bowed to Li Luanhu with a smile, and coughed before he finished speaking.

Looking at Li Luanhu's pale face with a sickly red look, Li Luanhu, who was a little surprised, couldn't help but look caring and said hurriedly: "General Shan, what's wrong with you? Is it important?"

"Being injured by that Yang Fan!" Shan Ximu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your concern! The last general's injury will not improve within ten days and half a month."

Listening to Shan Ximu's words, Li Luanhu, whose eyes twitched slightly, said with concern: "Since General Shan is injured, you must take good care of yourself and not leave any hidden diseases. Come on, General Shan, sit down and rest first!"

"Thank you Marshal!" Shan Ximu bowed and thanked her, then coughed and sat down by Dou Yihu.

Seeing Shan Ximu's appearance, the generals looked different, and some were worried, some were sneering, and some were frowning and meditating.

Li Luanhu, who returned to the main seat, looked a little unnatural. He simply talked about military affairs with the generals, and ordered the generals to leave amid the increasingly serious coughs of Shan Ximu. He also looked very concerned and asked Shan Ximu to recover from his injuries.

Seeing Shan Ximu being left by Dou Yihu and facing the remaining extremely trusted generals in the hall, Li Luanhu's face gradually became ugly, his eyes were so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to choose someone and ate them, and his breathing became heavy.

"Bastard!" Li Luanhu, who gritted his teeth and shouted softly. He suddenly turned around and waved his hand. A burst of energy directly shattered a tea table not far away and the tea cups on the table.

The Tang generals sitting on both sides were shocked and were silent for a moment.

"Get out of here!" Li Luanhu, who roared in a low voice, swept across the Tang generals with red eyes, which scared them so much that they all trembled and stood up and ran away respectfully.

Seeing them leaving in a mess, Li Luanhu couldn't help but say coldly: "A bunch of useless waste!"

"The Marshal really believes that Shan Ximu was seriously injured?" The only person in the hall who did not leave. Fan Long, who had a calm expression, looked up slightly at the angry Li Luanhu and asked softly.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart. Li Luanhu, who walked to the main seat, could not hide his anger in his low tone: "Injured? Maybe he was injured, but it was absolutely impossible to be so serious."

"That's right!" Fan Long nodded and said, "But looking at Shan Ximu's appearance just now, he was seriously 'injured'! Such a bit of a pretentious suspicion. It seems that he guessed the marshal's intention. Therefore, this time he took advantage of his injuries to retreat. The marshal would not let him fight Yang Fan to death."

When Li Luanhu heard this, his face became even more ugly and gasped for a few breaths before gritting his teeth and saying hatred: "Bastard! Let's drop the chain for me at this time. Wait! When I get rid of Yang Fan, I have time to take care of him."

"Brother Li, I'm sorry! Yang Fan is not easy to deal with!" Fan Long said with a slightly solemn expression.

Li Luanhu, who was silent for a while, nodded and said with a flashing eyes: "Shan Ximu and Yang Fan fought in Xuanwu Pass before. That momentum was indeed terrifying. Their strength was really beyond my expectations. However, even so, Yang Fan should have been injured this time."

"So, we should speed up the marching and attack Baihu Pass as soon as possible," Fan Long said.

Li Luanhu nodded and showed a cruel look: "Not bad! I'm caught Yang Fan off guard. Yang Fan, I want to see how he is not simple."

"Brother Li, there are mostly mountains and forests between Xuanwu Pass and Baihu Pass, with eighteen gates and villages ranging from hundreds to two to three thousand, and more than 20,000 troops. It is not easy to conquer as soon as possible," Fan Long frowned.

Li Luanhu also frowned slightly when he heard this, pondered for a while before saying in a deep voice: "Let Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e and his daughter go to attack. The generals of the Eighteen Villages are basically Diao Yingxiang's subordinates. It is said that only a few are controlled by the Yang Fan of Baihu Pass. The father and daughter of the Diao family should be able to conquer them as soon as possible. In addition, send Dou Yihu, Qin Han, Dou Xiantong, and Chen Jinding to accompany him."

"This..." Fan Long, who was stunned for a moment, seemed to think of something, couldn't help but smile: "Brother Li is so calculating! But I don't know who is the main general among them?"

Li Luanhu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Let Dou Xiantong be the leader!"

"Dou Xiantong? A good idea!" Fan Long nodded slightly with his eyes flashing, and the smile on his lips became stronger.

...

In the quiet room of Shan Ximu's residence in Diao Mansion, Dou Xiantong, Chen Jinding, Xue Jinlian, Qin Han and others gather here.

"Thank you for coming to see me, I can't die!" Looking at Dou Xiantong's worried look, Shan Ximu couldn't help but shake his head and smile, looking free and casual: "I can rest while I'm recuperating."

After looking at Shan Ximu carefully, Xue Jinlian, who was flickering in her beautiful eyes, heard the inexplicable words from Shan Ximu, and she couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard the slightly inexplicable words from Shan Ximu.

"The Marshal has an order! General Dou Xiantong, General Dou Yihu, General Chen Jinding, General Qin and Han, please rectify the troops as soon as possible, and follow General Diao Yingxiang and General Diao Yue'e to capture the eighteen villages between Xuanwu Pass and Baihu Pass, and clear the official road to enter Baihu Pass," the messenger rushed over to pass the order.

Hearing the order, Shan Ximu couldn't help but look silent when he heard the order.

Dou Xiantong, Chen Jinding and others looked at each other, then hurriedly said to Shan Ximu: "Brother, then we'll go first!"

"Yes!" Shan Ximu nodded and smiled: "Be careful! Don't be careless!"

"Don't worry! Brother!" Nodded and responded. Dou Xiantong waved to Chen Jinding and others and walked out first: "Go!"

Xue Jinlian, who fell on the last one, looked at Shan Ximu with a slightly profound meaning before leaving.

Shan Ximu, who watched Xue Jinlian leave, whispered to himself with a light corner of his mouth: "Did you see it? He is worthy of being a powerful Golden Immortal, and he is indeed very sensitive!"

"Li Luanhu, you are really not giving up!" Shan Ximu then said in a deep voice with a slightly frown.

As soon as Li Luanhu finished speaking, a cold and pleasant voice came into his ears: "First be sure to recover your injuries! What do you care about others doing so much? Humph, that Li Luanhu is not a good thing. Be careful!"

"I thought you were leaving!" Shan Ximu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the dala sitting at the window shaking his legs.

Daluo looked at Shan Ximu angrily: "You just hate me so much, don't you want to see me?"

Shan Ximu was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he felt helpless and speechless.

"Li Luanhu is so scheming you, why do you have to trade for the Tang Dynasty? What can the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty give you?" Looking at the silent Shan Ximu, there was a trace of mist in his beautiful eyes, and he couldn't help but say.

Shan Ximu smiled helplessly: "Dala, you don't know. This is what the teacher meant, asking me to be a general among the Tang army. Moreover, I do want to earn a glory. Nothing else, just for my mother!"

"Okay! I'm going to find the teacher. I won't be annoying you here," said Daluo, who was shaking his head and jumped out of the window.

Watching Tala leave, Shan Ximu couldn't help but take a deep breath. He raised his head and murmured to himself: "I'm sorry, Tala!"

...

In the forest, a wooden corridor standing above the village gate of the two mountain canyons. Dou Xiantong, whose body was stained with blood, looked at the large number of corpses on the open space below with a slightly unpretentious look, including the Western Liang army, but more of them were from the Tang army soldiers.

"General Dou, General Dou really didn't expect that General Niu from this official village would actually secretly surrender to Yang Fan. It was because General Dou was wrong to punish him. Please punish him!" Diao Yingxiang on the side also bowed to Dou Xiantong with a slightly nervous expression.

Hearing this, Dou Xiantong took a breath and withdrew her gaze, turned her head and looked at Diao Yingxiang and said calmly: "You can't blame you for this! All the thirteen official camps in front are easily taken down, all relying on General Diao's contribution to surrender. No one expected this to happen, and General Diao didn't have to blame himself."

Diao Yingxiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "General Dou, the four official camps below are all controlled by Yang Fan, and they are all his confidants. Especially the best one, with more than two thousand soldiers and horses, the official camp is strong and the terrain is dangerous, so it is difficult to break through. Moreover, maybe Yang Fan will send troops to reinforce."

"Let's solve this problem first!" Dou Xiantong frowned slightly and looked at the sporadic battles in the official village that had not yet ended. Due to the previous ambushing and plotting, the more than a thousand Xiliang soldiers in the official village wanted to surrender, but the Tang soldiers would not agree.

The battle did not last long, and more than a thousand Xiliang soldiers ended in annihilation.

After taking down the official village here, Dou Xiantong decisively ordered that a thousand troops be left to garrison, repair the official village, and then led the vanguard army to continue to rush to the next official village.

The next three official villages were unexpectedly easily captured and there was no effective resistance. The third official village was even an empty village, with no soldiers at all.

However, Dou Xiantong and other Tang army generals who easily came to three official villages did not have a hint of joy, but their faces looked a little ugly.

Without any hesitation, he continued to march towards the best official camp, but Dou Xiantong and others were obviously much more cautious.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! They are mostly retracting into the last official village, and the possibility of ambushing on the road is very small. Even if they really ambush, I can find it in advance." Xue Jinlian saw Dou Xiantong frowning, and couldn't help but say, "Even if the last official village is almost in danger, I will burn his village gate in person, and it will not be difficult to conquer it."

Dou Xiantong nodded and smiled, but still couldn't help but say, "I don't know what's going on, I always feel a little uneasy. Let's be careful!"

"The surrounding mountains are very dense!" Dou Yihu looked around casually and raised his eyebrows.

Diao Yingxiang hurriedly said, "The forest here is the densest, it is located deep in the forest. There are usually many tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves. However, when our army passes, the killing spirit is strong, and those beasts dare not approach it."

"That may not be!" Xue Jinlian, who suddenly spoke, had a slightly cold face, and her beautiful eyes looked coldly at the dense forests on both sides.
