At this time, the waiter came into the tent to clean up the remaining seats, and the atmosphere in the tent became slightly more relaxed. Ji Ruochen held the cup in his left hand, and tapped the table with his right hand gently, and his mood returned to a cold state of neither joy nor sadness.

Before meeting An Lushan, Ji Tianxia had already learned a lot of things from An Lushan's followers. It turned out that as early as January, Taoism Sect and Ming Shan had visited An Lushan one after another.

One, using the mountains and rivers of the world as bait, persuaded Anlushan to establish himself as emperor. The other, using the righteousness of the world to hold each other accountable, using the extremes of ministers and their names in history as a mirror, persuaded Anlushan to mobilize all the elites from the north to exterminate the Taoism sect.

Demonic way.

Since January, the two sides have been at a stalemate, and An Lushan's attitude is also wavering. However, except for more than ten people like Shang Qiushui, the Daode Sect has no backup. Mingshan has continued to send more people, and its strength has gradually grown stronger.

He looked like he was firmly entrenched in the Taoism sect. If he hadn't been afraid of An Lushan's suspicion, he might have secretly killed these Taoism sect disciples.

After fighting for more than a month, there was no result. An Lushan seemed to be a little impatient, so he simply held a banquet, gathered both sides and his trusted generals together, and asked Daodezong and Mingshan to lay out their respective conditions.

Look, at the same time, it also means to let the two sides fight each other and show their strength. An Lushan is both rough and fine. He knows that Daodezong and Mingshan are determined to win here. Putting all the conditions on the table is actually putting these two parties on the table.

They were both forced into a desperate situation, and asked them to reveal all their cards, so that they could know which one offered more favorable conditions. Another link was to make both sides show off their magical powers and compete with each other, so that they could know which side was better.

The power is greater, the potential is greater, and you can even know who is more willing to sacrifice your life and spend a lot of money. And in the end, it is to give some information to the generals attending the banquet to see their trend.

An Lushan is unwilling to be lonely, Ji Tianxia asserts. Otherwise, he only needs to reject both parties, and with the favor of Emperor Ming and the nepotism of Concubine Yang, he can stay in the north and be the emperor of the country for the rest of his life.

, why cause so many troubles? As for An Lushan's thoughts, it is actually not difficult to guess. It is naturally good to be the best, but who has not dreamed of taking a step forward in private?

From entering the camp, chatting to sitting down, in the blink of an eye, Ji Tianxia analyzed the situation clearly with a few concise words. Not only Yutong, but even Ji Ruochen was a little confused, how could Ji Tianxia be able to do this?

From such clues, we can infer many major events. Even if he has done enough homework before, this person's talent is still of great importance. If he is not a great sage or great sage in the future, he will be a great treacherous person. Judging from the current situation,

This Ji Tianxia still has a higher chance of becoming a great traitor.

In the blink of an eye, the waiter had cleaned up the scattered banquets and placed new wines in front of An Lushan. Shang Qiushui also took the elixir. Although his face was still as pale as paper, his breath gradually stabilized, and he pretended that there was no fear of his life. But

The blood stains on the white clothes were still shocking.

It was only then that An Lushan seemed to notice Ji Ruochen and others. His eyes fell on Yutong and he couldn't move away anymore. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who are these three..."

Yutong smiled lightly and replied: "This is my master, and this gentleman is my master's adviser to the world."

Unexpectedly, An Lushan was shocked when he heard this. He actually stood up from the table, his huge body dexterously walked around the table, rushed over to hold Ji Tianxia's hands, and said with great enthusiasm: "It turns out to be Mr. Ji! Alas!

Yeah, I, An Lushan, am a rough man. I never had the chance to get to know you, and I have always regretted it in my life. Now that you have arrived at the tent, I don’t recognize you. I really deserve to be punished with alcohol!"

Having said that, An Lushan drank three cups in a row, and that was all. He grabbed Ji Tianxia's hand and said earnestly: "Sir, you came here specially, so you won't be in a hurry to leave, right? This, this,

Sir, if you don’t abandon me as a vulgar and illiterate old man, please stay a few more days and give me some advice.”

At this moment, An Lushan seemed to have only one Ji Tianxia in his eyes, and even Yutong and Shang Qiushui were forgotten.

Everyone was astonished. Not only Yutong, but also Daodezong and Mingshan people, most of whom had heard little about world affairs, were all surprised that Ji Tianxia was so famous that even Anlushan, the governor of the three towns, had to cross paths.

.

Ji Tianxia said with a smile: "It was just a false reputation back then. It's hard for Master Jiedu to remember it. Now that I have voted for the Ming Lord, I will try my best to serve him. My master is a genius. In fact, there is no need for Ji. I can't

It’s just a little bit of dedication.”

At this time, An Lushan turned his attention to Ji Ruochen and sighed: "I am so lucky to have Mr. Ji join me! Oh, have you asked me what your name is?"

Ji Ruochen did not get up and replied calmly: "My surname is Ji."

An Lushan knew that he did not want to give his full name. Such outsiders were often eccentric, so he did not take it seriously and did not ask further. An Lushan immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot and faced Ji Ruochen across the table.

He held the cup over his eyebrows and said, "I'm a rough guy, so I won't talk so much nonsense. Come on, let's have three drinks first!"

An Lushan winked, and a general next to him immediately brought a jar of wine. This wine is extremely famous. It comes from the Taoist Sect's Immortal Wine Zuixiang. This wine is gentle in the mouth, but the aftertaste is lingering and endless.

. For those of you who are not strong enough to drink, you only need three glasses of wine, and you will be able to reach heaven and sleep under the table. In the past, the old man Yunzhong Jutianhai used this to compete with Qingyi for wine, and it only took two or three jars of effort.

He slipped under the table and refused to come out, and has been a laughing stock ever since.

An Lushan drank a lot of alcohol and could be called the god of wine. But after drinking three glasses in a row, a layer of purple began to appear on his dark face and his tongue became a little big. Ji Ruochen, on the other hand, drank three glasses of wine and continued as if nothing had happened.

He didn't even smell drunk. He was just a person who didn't know anything about it, but everyone in the Tao Te Sect was shocked and moved. Fang Shi felt that Mr. Ji was a bit mysterious.

Seeing that Ji Ruochen was drunk, An Lushan slapped the table and shouted "Okay!", then bent his arms against the table, leaned forward slightly, locked Ji Ruochen's eyes like lightning, and asked: "Mr. Ji

Now that you are here, you should be ready to make a difference. May I ask, sir, what is your evaluation of today's events?"

Ji Ruochen looked around. Everywhere he looked, whether it was the Daode disciples or the people in Mingshan, they all felt a little uneasy. They didn't know what Mr. Ji, who seemed to be able to influence the current situation, would say.

Ji Ruochen looked at the people in Mingshan again and said calmly: "What can a group of monsters do?"

The Daode disciple's expression immediately relaxed. Everyone in Mingshan had been annoyed for a long time. One of them stood up and pointed at Ji Ruochen, shouting: "Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense here!"

Ji Ruochen looked at Shang Qiushui who was still at the table, smiled, and said, "I'm not as easy to talk to as the worldly masters from the Taoism Sect."

Zi Qi frowned, but did not stop his men. He also wanted to find out the details of Mr. Ji who suddenly appeared. He was not a reckless man, and he was pretending to be dumbfounded at this moment.

This thought.

After hearing what Ji Ruochen said, the man from Mingshan took a step forward and sneered: "What if it's hard to talk?"

Ji Ruochen suddenly lost his smile and said solemnly: "I've trained you!"

Ji Ruochen's lips were slightly parted, and he suddenly blew out a breath of yin air. A small bronze cauldron with an ancient and clumsy style could be seen faintly inside. The cauldron grew when it caught the wind, and in an instant it had grown to a size of about ten feet. It hovered in mid-air and began to rotate slowly.

It is strange to say that such a huge thing appeared out of thin air in the tent, but it did not make the space crowded. Everyone could clearly see the delicate and complicated patterns and characters on the tripod flowing past their eyes, but they felt that this giant thing was far away from them.

There is some distance between myself.

Everyone watched helplessly as green mist steamed up from the mouth of the tripod. The man from Mingshan directly felt an unbearable suction force covering his whole body. A bit of spiritual awareness reminded him that he should immediately use his magical power to get rid of the green mist. But he didn't know.

Why, when he saw this cauldron, the man from Mingshan trembled all over, and his energy melted away like a snow lion toward fire. He was completely unable to resist, and was instantly sucked into the cauldron.

The ancient bronze cauldron immediately sped up, spinning smaller and smaller. In an instant, it shrank back into a small cauldron about the size of an inch. However, heart-rending screams could not stop coming from the cauldron, and then turned into waves of beastly roars.

, whether it was a scream or a beast's roar, it was extremely sad and shrill, lingering in the tent for a long time and still refusing to disperse.

Everyone in Mingshan shouted with coaxing and stood up together. Zi Qi suddenly raised his right hand to stop his men who were about to rush forward. His face was full of black energy.

The bronze tripod flew back on its own and fell into Ji Ruochen's palm.

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the tent, and countless eyes fell on the ancient bronze tripod standing on the skin that looked like condensed white jade. This tripod was stained with patina and had been passed down for many generations. The body of the tripod was engraved with countless exquisite and complicated patterns and patterns that only existed in the world.

Words that vaguely appeared in ancient books. At this moment, the sound of hissing lingered in the tent. In the eyes of everyone, every stroke on the body of the cauldron seemed to be oozing with blood, and there seemed to be countless innocent souls wailing silently at the deep mouth of the cauldron.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the bronze tripod slowly tipped over, and a small bead the size of a rice grain rolled out from the mouth of the tripod, with a dark color and a faint dark blue mist.

Zi Qi's eyes couldn't help but twitch, he stared at the small cauldron in Ji Ruochen's palm, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Demon Refining Cauldron!"

Ji Ruochen ignored Zi Qi at all, opened his mouth and inhaled, and the copper cauldron slowly rose up and returned to his mouth again. The pill bead left in his palm casually tossed it to Yutong.

The jade boy smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for the gift, master." Then he threw the pill into his mouth in full view of everyone. But a bright red color suddenly appeared on her jade face, making her look even more charming, but also revealing

It was very strange. And a layer of blood-like crimson appeared in the depths of those water-cut pupils, which did not fade for a long time. In the blood, a struggling and wailing figure still seemed to be visible.

An Lushan's lustful eyes looking at Yutong suddenly became a little unnatural.

Seeing that the Jade Boy had swallowed the pill, the people in Mingshan were even more furious. They all took weapons and magic weapons in their hands, and some simply raised their horns, grew hair on their chests, and showed some demonic appearances.

Everyone in the Tao Te Sect remained calm and just put their hands on the hilts of their swords or magic weapons. The Jade Boy was smiling happily, combing his long hair as smooth and bright as silk with his slender fingers, and his expression returned to a soft and charming expression.

"Don't move!" Zi Qi turned around and roared violently, and just then he calmed down his men who were about to make a move.

Zi Qi's eyes were red and almost bleeding. He stared at Ji Ruochen and said word by word: "Your Excellency dares to use the demon refining cauldron to sacrifice to my Mingshan tribe. This is an enemy of the demon clan in the world! From now on, I only hope that you will take care of yourself."

, don’t die in any ravine.”

After Ziqi finished speaking, he waved his hand to the tribe and said, "Let's go!" The Mingshan tribe filed out.

When passing by Ji Ruochen's table, Ji Ruochen sat down according to the table, played with the wine cup in his hand, stared at the swirling wine, and said slowly: "How can a mere Mingshan Mountain be worthy of representing the world's monster clan?"

Zi Qi suddenly turned around, his eyes almost bulging out! But he finally endured this and led the Mingshan tribe out of the tent and away.

After everyone in Mingshan left, the banquet was reorganized in the tent. The previous solemnity was swept away, and it was noisy and joyful. After the wine was full of wine, An Lushan asked Ji Tianxia: "Mr. Ji, there are no outsiders here now, why don't you say

Tell me what should I do if someone is safe?"

Ji Tianxia straightened his clothes, raised his hands to An Lushan, and said loudly: "The disaster of annihilation is already in front of us, hasn't Mr. An already thought of ways to protect himself?"

His words were astonishing, and many generals were immediately annoyed, and they shouted: "That's nonsense!" "Commander An Hongfu Qitian, are you trying to curse him?"

There are also people who have heard the name of Ji Tianxia and said: "Don't be impatient for now, let's listen to what he has to say."

As soon as An Lushan raised his hand, the commotion among the generals in the tent stopped, and then he said: "Hu'er is stupid, please ask Mr. Ji to teach me in detail, where does the disaster come from?"

Ji Tianxia looked around, and An Lushan said: "Here are my brothers who have been with me from birth to death. If you have something to say, sir, it's okay to say it!"

"Forget it!" Ji Tianxia raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask Master An what rank you are now?"

An Lushan was startled and said, "How come I am granted the title of Prince of Dongping County?"

Ji Tianxia asked again: "Master An, a military general can be crowned king. Is there any precedent in this dynasty?"

An Lushan said: "It never happened."

"Master An is also the governor of three towns in Pinglu, Hebei and Fanyang, and has countless other concurrent jobs. He has a hundred thousand troops in front of the army and a thousand generals. I dare to ask, sir, if you want to be promoted again, what position should you move to the left? It's a thousand miles away, and there are still

Which land can be brought under your lordship?"

An Lushan smiled and said: "The land in the northeast is all mine, what else can I do? Is it possible to give me another town in the southwest? I am not used to the miasma of the southwest. As for promotion, I am not the right one to be the prime minister.

If I go to Chang'an, what will I do with so many brothers down there?"

All the generals in the tent laughed, and some thoughtful ones were thoughtful. Shi Siming stopped drinking and his eyes flickered.
