Mingguang looked at Pei Su and said, "Are you Xiao Pei?"

Pei Su said: "It's me."

Mingguang squinted at Banyue and said mockingly, "I heard that you lost your position as a priest for a little girl? Haha, Pei Ming, haven't you always advocated 'brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes'? How come your descendant is nothing like you? He hasn't learned even one tenth of your taste in choosing women. This Banyue Imperial Master is like a little quail. What's this? Could it be that you were cuckolded hundreds of years ago and the child you gave birth to was not your own, hahahaha..."

Pei Su said, "You are talking nonsense." Then he slapped him. Ke Mo also jumped up from the ground and shouted, "I will never coexist with you!"

Mingguang shouted, "Hey! Big guy, let's go together!"

Ke Mo turned around and saw Ming Guang leap up and transform into a long green blade, flying into his hand. Ke Mo opened his big hand like an iron fan and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword. A layer of black air suddenly burst out of his huge body!

The evil corpse holds the magic sword, just like a ferocious beast with poisonous fangs!

Xie Lian was inspired by Pei Ming's fatal shot. Although he didn't know the exact principle, he felt that maybe the same method could help Hua Cheng. He wanted to secretly talk to Hua Cheng when no one else was noticing to see if it would help. Seeing that the situation was critical, he had to say, "Be careful!"

Pei Ming could not join the battle, so only Pei Su and Ban Yue joined forces to fight. Although one of them had sharp and decisive body movements, while the other had erratic and strange body movements, body movements alone were not enough. Pei Su had no magic power, and Ban Yue had no brute force. They were struggling against Ke Mo and Ming Guang, who had both magic power and brute force.

After being scolded by Ke Mo, Ban Yue was too embarrassed to throw scorpion-tailed snakes at him again, but Pei Su had no burden at all and threw snakes like rain, making Ke Mo so angry that he kept yelling. Thanks to Ming Guang's sword energy, the snakes could not get close. However, despite this, Xie Lian felt relieved after watching the battle for a while. Because he could see that Ke Mo and Ming Guang did not cooperate well.

Ke Mo grew up in Ban Yue Country and was a mace wielder. He was used to heavy and large weapons, but not so good at using swords. Even though he was extremely strong and the weapon in his hands was extremely sharp, they could not necessarily be used together to the strongest effect, and he could not find the trick for a while, so Xie Lian quickly seized the opportunity, clasped his hands together in front of Hua Cheng, and said, "I'm sorry!"

However, looking at the little face in front of him with eyes closed, white and handsome, Xie Lian always felt it difficult to start. He finally made up his mind, closed his eyes and went forward. He was nervous, but he couldn't help but kiss Hua Cheng's forehead. It was a light and gentle kiss, but he was devastated. A voice beside him said, "Your Highness, you are wrong. What's the use of the forehead!"

Xie Lian was almost startled to the ground by this sound. He turned around and saw Pei Ming squatting beside him. He said with a rare irritation: "General Pei, can you please stop looking!"

Pei Ming raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't watch anymore." He turned to watch the fight over there. After watching the fight for a while, he said to Ke Mo, "This is not the way you use the sword. If you don't know how to use it, don't use it!"

Ke Mo naturally didn't understand, but the light on his hand said, "I can't compare to you. You broke the sword yourself, and now you're standing here pointing fingers like a loser!"

Just as he finished shouting, Pei Ming suddenly flew over to join the battle and landed in front of Ke Mo. Ke Mo swung his sword and chopped it, only to hear a very crisp "clang". The sword didn't hit anything. He looked down and was shocked.

The Mingguang sword in his hand broke again!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Su threw another large wave of scorpion-tailed snakes at him, just like pouring a large vat of dye, splashing Ke Mo with purple and red all over his body. He roared and tried his best to push those slippery snakes under him. Pei Ming lowered his head and said to the sword: "You know my moves very well, and I naturally know where you are most likely to be broken."

Ban Yue descended from the sky holding two jars, and without further ado, she took the stunned Ming Guang and the roaring Ke Mo into the jars. At this point, Xie Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "More people means easier work!"

Ban Yue sealed the pottery jars, held the two jars and shook them, then put them to his ears to listen to the sound. Xie Lian hurriedly said, “Ban Yue, stop playing, put them away quickly, and be careful not to let them out.”

Ban Yue nodded, squatted in front of Xie Lian, looked at Hua Cheng, and said, "General Hua, is this your son?"

Xie Lian smiled and said, “Unfortunately, no.”

Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. Ban Yue said "Oh" and said, "I saw you kiss him just now, I thought it was you."

“…”

Xie Lian didn’t want to say anything more and covered his forehead. Ban Yue seemed to think Hua Cheng was very cute. She pulled one of his pigtails and said with concern, “He seems to be sick. Do you want to go into the jar to recuperate? Last time I lived in General Hua’s jar, I felt that he recovered very quickly.”

Pei Su finally came over and said, "No need. Don't worry about it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take good care of him."

Ban Yue said: “Oh.”

At this time, Pei Ming looked at her and said, "Are you Ban Yue Imperial Master?"

He looked down at Banyue, who was shrouded in the shadow he cast. She squatted on the ground and nodded.

Pei Su stood in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, but Pei Ming pushed him away and walked to Ban Yue, as if he wanted to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, when he was two steps away from Ban Yue, Ban Yue's face changed drastically and she quickly hid behind Xie Lian, as if she couldn't avoid him, but looking at her expression, she didn't seem to be afraid. Everyone felt strange, and Xie Lian understood after thinking about it, and gently reminded: "General Pei, that... ghost-flavored candy ball..."

Pei Ming was startled, his face darkened. It seemed that the sweet smell of the ghost-flavored candy balls had not yet dissipated. Ban Yue was a female ghost after all, and she couldn't stand the inferior ghost aura, so she ran away...

Xie Lian couldn’t help laughing, but then he said seriously, “Why did Master Yu come to Tonglu Mountain? Where is he now? Why didn’t you come with him?”

Pei Su said, "Ten thousand ghosts were agitated, and a large number of inhuman creatures gathered and rushed to Tonglu Mountain. When they passed by Yushi Township, they captured a few farmers and took them away as reserve food. At that time, Master Yushi and the guardian mount were not there, so they chased here after learning about it. We were originally together, but on the way we heard your Highness the Crown Prince calling us loudly in the Half Moon Language, so we came to check it out."

At that time, Xie Lian was just shouting for emergency, but he didn't expect that they were actually nearby. It was also a blessing in disguise. The Rain Master Township looked like a quiet little village. It was not surprising that a ghost passed by and randomly grabbed people without knowing what was good for him. Pei Ming frowned and said, "I couldn't find you in the human world before, so how did you get to Master Yu? Don't tell me you went there to chase this Ban Yue Imperial Master."

Pei Su lowered his head slightly and said, "No. It was Master Yu who saved me."

It turned out that after Pei Su was exiled to the lower world, he had been wandering around the human world. He had nothing to do, so he attacked Qi Rong's nest several times, which annoyed Qi Rong, and he found a bunch of unknown people to surround and kill him. If Pei Su had magical powers, these mobs would certainly not be able to do anything to him, but he was now a mortal, facing the siege of hundreds of ghosts, and was eventually injured and in trouble. While he was struggling to fight, it happened that the Rain Master passed by on a cow and helped him. After asking about his identity and the whole story, Pei Su was taken in by the Rain Master Township to recover temporarily.

Pei Ming seemed quite surprised and asked, "Master Yu didn't make things difficult for you?"

According to Master Qingxuan, there was a rift between Yushi Township and Mingguang Temple. Hundreds of years ago, Yushi kicked out Pei Ming's previous deputy god. It seems that Pei Ming does not think that Yushi is an open-minded priest. But Pei Su said: "No. Master Yushi has never made things difficult for us. Instead, he has provided a lot of help."

At this time, a buzzing voice suddenly sounded, saying: "Rain Master? Is Rain Master from the Rain Master Country?"

Xie Lian said casually, “Yeah.” After answering, he realized that the voice was actually Ming Guang. He was locked in the jar, but he was still listening to the noise outside. After Xie Lian answered, he spat, “Pei Ming! You slept with so many women, and you gave birth to such a useless descendant? You actually need the protection of the people of the Rain Master Country to survive, and you even help them speak well of them. Each generation is worse than the previous one! Ha!”

Hearing this, Pei Ming looked a little uncomfortable. Xie Lian didn’t understand what was funny or what was angry about it, so he asked Ban Yue in a low voice, “Did you understand?”

Ban Yue said: "I don't quite understand. However, I seem to have heard from Brother Pei Su that his general was a general of the Xuli Kingdom before he ascended to heaven."

“…”

Pei Ming is a general of Xuli State, is there any problem?

Very problematic!

Because, as far as Xie Lian knew, the Yu Shi Kingdom was razed to the ground by the iron cavalry of the Xu Li Kingdom!

Ban Yue added: "Master Yushi is the last ruler of Yushi Country."

“…”

No wonder Pei Ming always looked strange when he mentioned the Rain Master, and no wonder the Rain Master had been so rude to the deputy priest of the Mingguang Temple. It turned out that the two sides had a long-standing grudge.

You must know that although for the priests, the destruction of countries in the world and the succession of one after another is indeed a normal thing, but when it comes to themselves, they can never let it go. If they are gods in the same court as the general who destroyed their country, and this person is still hanging around in the upper heaven all day, very high-profile, I have to say, it is a bit annoying.

Pei Su added a talisman and stuck it on the outside of the jar. Ming Guang's voice suddenly stopped. He asked, "Why did the general come here?"

Pei Ming said: "It's all for the purpose of getting you back as soon as possible."

Xie Lian thought of Hua Cheng's words. It seemed that this was the "benefit" Pei Ming had exchanged with Jun Wu when he was sent to Tonglu Mountain. Pei Ming patted Pei Su's shoulder and said, "Since you are here, do your best. If you do well this time, you may be able to return to the Heavenly Palace early."

Before Pei Su could answer, the talisman on the jar in his hand began to burn. It was Ming Guang who was trapped inside who burned the talisman with anger. He said, "Pei Ming!!! Do you still remember what you said at the beginning?!"

Pei Sudai was about to put another talisman to seal his mouth, but Pei Ming stopped him and said, "Pei has said too many things in his life. Which one are you referring to?"

Mingguang said hatefully, "Do you remember the reason you used when you killed the subordinates who had followed you for many years? 'Some people can be killed, some can't; some things can be done, some can't.' - You sounded as if you had the righteousness of the people in your heart! What about now? Do you think others don't know what dirty things your Xiao Pei has done? It has been spread a long time ago! Didn't you try every means to clean up his ass and cover it up for him? Did those brothers who accompanied you in the battles deserve to die, but now it's your turn, your descendant, he shouldn't die? You are the kind of person who throws away clothes after wearing them, and you break off your brothers and sisters after using them! Is your Xiao Pei a treasure, and we are weeds?!"

He yelled a lot of things at once, and Pei Ming listened to them and suddenly said, "You, are not Mingguang."

There was a moment of silence in the jar. After a moment, Mingguang said in a buzzing voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see me, Mingguang? I have already transformed!"

Pei Ming said with certainty: "No. You are not Mingguang."

The voice in the jar said irritably, "Who else could I be?"

Pei Ming took the jar from Pei Su and said firmly, "You are Rong Guang, right?"

After these words were spoken, the jar became completely silent.

When Pei Su heard the name, his eyes widened slightly. Xie Lian asked, "Young General Pei, who is Rong Guang?"

Pei Su came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "He was the deputy general who followed the general the longest and his most capable subordinate before he ascended to heaven."

Xie Lian finally understood what the story of “the general breaking his sword” was all about.

When Pei Ming was a man, he was successful in love and on the battlefield. He was an ever-victorious general who had never been defeated for decades. Of course, this was due to his bravery and skill in fighting, but it was also due to the support of a deputy general. This deputy general's name was Rong Guang.

Rong Guang is famous for his cunning and scheming. Although the two have very different personalities, they knew each other early and cooperated very well. One is in charge of the light, and the other is in charge of the dark. They have been superiors and subordinates for many years and have an ironclad friendship. Pei Ming's sword "Ming Guang" is a homophonic combination of the two names "Ming" and "Guang".

Pei Ming was good at fighting. In the turbulent and war-torn era, being able to fight was much more important than being able to make money, and more important than being able to do anything else. Naturally, he was promoted step by step. However, no matter how high he was promoted, the highest he could be was only a general. It was great to add countless honorable and lengthy titles in front of the word "general", but there was always someone above him, and he had to bow his head and kneel when he saw the king.

He himself had no objection to this, but as he conquered city after city, the glory on his armor became more and more dazzling, and his subordinates, led by Rong Guang, became restless.

Pei Ming himself was not proud and ungrateful, but his subordinates became infinitely inflated on his behalf.

The most serious one was Rong Guang. Because he had closer communication with the soldiers in the army and was very good at inciting people, many of his old subordinates had the idea that "General Pei's current status is far less than what he deserves", "General Pei and we have been oppressed", and "Xuli Kingdom needs General Pei and us to save it". They were determined to break into the Xuli Kingdom palace, support Pei Ming as king, lead a group of old subordinates to rise to prominence, stand at the top of the strongest country at that time, and even imagined the future ambition of iron cavalry conquering the world and unifying the world.

Unfortunately, Pei Ming himself really had no interest in becoming king.

His pleasure in life is winning battles and sleeping with beautiful women, and these two things do not require being the king to achieve. Moreover, although the then king of Xuli did not make any achievements, he did not make any mistakes either. If he were to take over, he might not be able to do better. There are many harms and no benefits in starting a rebellion rashly, so why bother to cause unrest for no reason? Therefore, Rong Guang enthusiastically hinted to him several times, but Pei Ming was able to resolve them all.

After many attempts, Rong Guang was not convinced at all, but became more and more crazy. Finally one day, a group of warriors decided to start the rebellion first. After the rebellion was done, Pei Ming could not shirk responsibility.

Hearing this, Xie Lian was speechless, thinking to himself, “How can you force someone to do something like this…”

Pei Su saw that he was thinking about something, and said, "Rong Guang may not really want to support General Pei as king, but he must borrow the general's name to start a rebellion. Because his prestige is not as high as the general, if he raises his own banner, he may not be able to convince the people."

Xie Lian thought about it and said, “Maybe not.”

Their slogan was to support Pei Ming. Pei Ming certainly could not pretend not to know about this. He immediately took his sword and a small number of trusted soldiers, rushed into the palace and started a battle.

This battle is the last battle of his life.
