The overall strength of Xiling is almost the same as that of Wan Ze, if the Northern Legion and the Northern Netherworld Sect really break the Sword Gate, then the Xiling Kingdom will no longer be in danger. As soon as this news came to Wanze, the first thing that could not sit still was Liu Zheng, the commander of the reinforcements, after he got the news, he immediately said goodbye to the queen Li Jin, under Li Jin's helpless gaze, after the war only left more than 30,000 people in the Xiling army immediately loaded on the ship, rushed to the national capital in a hurry.

Seeing the 30,000 Xiling reinforcements leaving, Li Jin's heart was like a knife but he was helpless, and the arrogance before the war a few days ago disappeared, leaving only one sigh after another.

"I hope it's still too late, hehe, I didn't expect to drag Xiling in. Li Jin shook his head, his face full of pain.

The generals and commanders were silent, and their expressions were extremely low, only the old minister Qin Zhongtian comforted: "Don't worry, the Lord, the sword gate is easy to break, presumably Xiling has also made preparations early, the temple's plan is nothing more than to support the Xiling reinforcements, so that I Wanze is lonely, and we only need to prepare for the battle, so as not to respond to all changes!"

The truth is this, and who among the people present does not understand? It's just that the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way to go, and a thick haze is shrouded in the sky of southern Xinjiang, and hope is becoming more and more faint.

Li Jin rubbed his forehead and asked in a very slight voice, "How is Wang Yue's side?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhongtian took a step forward, and his spirit was much better, and he said happily: "That person has already agreed." ”

Hearing this news, everyone's hearts were relieved, Li Jin waved his hand, and said: "Then let's do it, step up preparations for war, and the recruits must also practice more, I am afraid that the Southern Army will soon make some moves, and we have no way to retreat, but to fight to the death." ”

All the generals clasped their hands into fists, bowed their heads and responded: "Yes!"

......

In the academy, Cheng Xiaoxi still stayed in Fengyaju to recuperate, and He Fatzi returned to his old business and became a cook, specializing in taking care of the diet and daily life of his junior brothers.

On this day, a messenger found Feng Yaju and handed a letter to Cheng Xiaoxi's hand, with five big characters on the envelope, "Cheng Senior Brother Personally Kai", with beautiful handwriting, and the payment was Shangguan Li.

This is the first letter he received in his life, and he didn't know what happened to Xiling, Cheng Xiaoxi tore the letter open with anticipation, and looked at the curious appearance of his senior brother on the side, so he believed it.

"Senior brother, don't read it, a few days ago, the temple joined forces with the north to attack my western spirit, and now I am on my way home. I have known each other for several years, and I have a lot of feelings, and the friendship is really difficult to describe, forgive me for saying goodbye, if he has fate one day, he will meet again. ”

There were only a few sentences in the letter, and he finished reading it in a few breaths, Cheng Xiaoxi only felt that his heart was empty, as if he had lost something very important, he sat at the head of the bed sneerfully, and did not speak for a long time, so even He Fatzi did not bother him with interest, just accompanied him, quietly breaking his fingers.

After a long time, Cheng Xiaoxi broke the silence, "Senior brother, I have recovered most of the time, let's go to the front line." ”

He Fatzi pursed his lips and responded, "Okay!"

After finding a carriage in the academy, the two of them rushed to Qingfeng City again, since the temple used such a plan, then it would definitely launch a crazy offensive against Wan Ze, where can Cheng Xiaoxi hide in the academy safely, when the life and death of Wan Ze realm, he must contribute his own strength.

On the second day, the carriage stopped steadily outside a big tent, and He Fatzi pushed his junior brother to go to the tent to see Qin Zhongtian first, and then the two went to the temporary conference hall.

In the first place in the hall sat Li Jin, on the left and right were Wang Yue, Zuofu Shangren and Qin Zhongtian who came with Cheng Xiaoxi, and the other seats were more than ten generals, including Tang Yulian and Qin Lei.

Cheng Xiaoxi couldn't get up, so he could only sit on the wooden chair and salute Li Jin and the others present, and when he raised his head, he found that everyone's eyes were not on him at all, but on the war spirit behind him.

Since the Elixir Garden, the war spirit has always followed Cheng Xiaoxi's side, and now that he has come to the front line, he is still like this, feeling everyone's eyes, the war spirit "snorted", and seemed to be dissatisfied: "Don't look at me, there is something to say." ”

Li Jin retracted his gaze, and then looked at his son, He Fatzi nodded at her, Li Jin was relieved, so he looked at Cheng Xiaoxi and asked, "How is your recovery?"

Cheng Xiaoxi bent down slightly and said respectfully: "After returning to the Lord, it is almost better, my hands and feet have been able to move, and my spirit has recovered most of it, and I will be able to heal in a few days." ”

Li Jin nodded, looked at Wang Yue, and said, "Take out your 'Anshen Pill'." ”

Wang Yue was about to speak, and He Fatzi preemptively said: "Mother, 'Anshen Dan' has already been given to the junior brother, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten better so quickly." ”

Li Jin looked at Cheng Xiaoxi again, and then said with a smile: "I thought your master was reluctant, but I didn't expect that he was also a calf protector." ”

When Wang Yue heard this, his mouth cracked open and he smiled, meaning something: "If I don't give it, I'm afraid that some people will already kill him." ”

On the second seat on the right, Tang Yulian turned her head away, snorted heavily, and then looked at her grandson.

After some discussion, everyone retreated one by one, and now that the war spirit has come to the front line, the pressure brought by the temple has been virtually reduced by half, and the only thing that needs to be guarded against is the Holy Venerable, but the Holy Venerable has not moved since he left the customs, and no one knows what kind of realm he has reached now, and no one knows when he will appear. Fortunately, Wang Yue said that the war spirit was moved, which made everyone feel a lot more at ease, only Wang Yue himself knew that the war spirit was not moved by him at all, but made a decision after seeing Cheng Xiaoxi that day.

......

In the evening, the senior brother pushed Cheng Xiaoxi to a forest near the camp for a walk, and the two of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them spoke.

The night breeze is gentle, the shadows of the trees are waving, a full moon hangs high in the sky, the fragrance of flowers and plants is at your feet, unknown insects are chirping life in the soil, and a few birds that sleep on the branches at night are also flapping their wings.

Both of them were immersed in this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and the expressions on their faces looked so comfortable and enjoyable, at this time, there were bursts of shouting and shouting in the camp not far away, and the two subconsciously looked behind them.

The two watched for a while, and then turned around, Cheng Xiaoxi looked at the bright moon in the sky and didn't know what he was thinking, He Fatzi was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "It's just that the recruits are training, and it's like this in the barracks, nothing strange." ”

He Fatzi pushed the wooden chair and continued to move forward, the insects in the grass were frightened, and quickly closed their mouths and hid in a dark place, Cheng Xiaoxi gently patted the armrest of the wooden chair and asked, "Senior brother, do you have a chance of winning?"

He Fatzi put away his giggle, his fat face changed several colors in a row, he didn't answer his junior brother, just shook his head quietly and silently.

Cheng Xiaoxi had already recovered most of his life, and he didn't need to turn around, he could also sense his senior brother's expression and movements, "Is there no other way?"

Deep in the dense forest in front of the two of them, a voice came out, answering this question for He Fatzi.

"Even if he wins this battle, Wan Ze will not be able to find an opponent for the Holy Venerable. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi seemed unwilling, and asked expectantly, "Can't even you be the enemy?"

There was a flash of light in the forest, and then there was silence, and there was no movement except for the darkness that grew deeper.

The two brothers stayed quietly in the forest for a long time, until the sound of the exercise in the distance had stopped, and then they turned their heads and walked towards the way they came, and behind them, the worm crawled out again, and the "squeak" sound sounded again......

This night, Cheng Xiaoxi didn't fall asleep, He Fatzi didn't fall asleep, Wang Yue didn't fall asleep, Qin Zhongtian didn't fall asleep, Li Jin didn't fall asleep, thousands of creatures didn't fall asleep, and the only ones who fell asleep were the tired sergeants in the camp.

A new day came as scheduled, the sun climbed into the sky early, the insects that had been calling all night did not know where to hide, and the birds flew out of the forest one after another, looking for something to satisfy their stomachs.

He had not fully recovered, and after a night of sorrow, and Cheng Xiaoxi's physical strength was overdrawn, his face looked a little sickly pale, and when he was dressed, he sat tremblingly on the wooden chair.
