Volume 1 Volume 1 029 Lack of Food
Seeing that the black jade box was dug out, Xiao Yi's spirit was overjoyed, but then there was a burst of depression.
"Master, this is taken out, but the disciple's body is inside. If you don't have spiritual power, you still can't open it! Now you don't want your disciples to drive the ant colony to help, do you?"
The old man was speechless for a while, no matter how Xiao Yi shouted, there was still no movement on the other side.
Xiao Yi's spirit circled around the box, but he still couldn't find this way to open the lid after all. Just as he hesitated, a voice sounded again in the spirit's head.
"Thirty-three, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yi heard Master's voice, and then asked thoughtfully and softly, "Master, the disciple is not looking for you to be old!"
"Oh, I didn't find a teacher, so ......"
"Wait! Master, the disciple seriously doubts, did you deliberately not speak up just now? Hurry up and help the disciple think of a way! How do you want the disciple to deal with this situation?"
Xiao Yiyu was crying, remembering that he had been trapped in countless dark places in his life, but the situation that could make him cry urgently seemed to be only the time when he accidentally turned into the bookcase when he was four years old. At that time, my young self was trapped for two hours, and no matter how much I cried, no one found me. That time of being trapped, Xiao Yat felt like he was about to die at a young age. It is said that it was a little eunuch who stored the books later, and only then did he find himself sleeping in the box.
Now, Xiao Yat has this illusion again. He is a puff of green smoke, and his body is lying in the black jade locket unconsciously. I remember that the master mentioned the coffin just now! Why do the more I think about it now, the more I look like I look at myself buried in the jade coffin?
Now you can only find someone who can open the jade box as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, then we have to resort to the last method!"
Hearing the hesitation of the old man's tone, Xiao Yi also became interested, what else could he do without looking for a cultivator?
"Master, you old man, hurry up and tell me, how can you get out of trouble? You have a way to hide it, so how can the disciple know if it is worth trying?"
"Thirty-three! It's not that the teacher won't tell you, it's just that this method is too risky. Once used, your Divine Soul will be sealed in the Ruby Heavenly Incense Burner for a short period of time. An ignorant body, isn't that risky?"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yat decided to give it a try.
As a puff of green smoke penetrated the incense burner, the hill flashed red, and peace was restored.
After another half an hour, the black jade locket on the ground suddenly bounced up, followed by an arrow stuck into the surface. Before the arrow could disappear completely, another white-robed villain fell from the jade box. It's just that the villain hasn't touched the ground yet, his body suddenly became larger, and he complained in his mouth: "If there is no talisman arrow, it is estimated that you will not be able to get out." Master's method almost hurt me again......"
Xiao Yi complained as he put the cultivation weapon into the willow leaf birthmark, and before he could change into mortal clothes, the voice gradually subsided.
On the hill, only Xiao Yi, with empty eyes, was left alone, wearing a white undershirt, lying alone on the ash grass covered with ant colonies.
Zeqing, inside the city lord's mansion.
"City Lord! There was a cheer from the enemy outside the north gate of Shicai, and the horse returned the favor, saying that it was ...... They said......"
Seeing that his soldiers were stumbling to speak, Qiu Yi suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and shouted angrily: "What did those Nanli people say? Will it still be as gorgeous as the literati to scold the enemy? But it doesn't hurt to say it, this city lord forgives you for your innocence!"
Seeing that the city lord said that he would not punish himself, the soldiers still swallowed and said, "Enemy soldiers, say ...... Say reinforcements...... The reinforcements retreated, His Royal Highness King Chung was killed, and even the whereabouts of his body are unknown!"
Qiu Yi heard the words and took the case, and in the past few days, he has been in the city to defend against the enemy, and most of his mind has already been consumed. When he heard that reinforcements were arriving soon, he thought that the danger of the siege could be solved, but who would have thought that he would hear the bad news this time, he only felt that his mind was confused, and the scenery in his eyes began to rotate slowly.
"Tell the order to go down, and let the people in the middle of the city who want to flee for their lives all go their separate ways. Tonight, the lord of the city ...... The lord of the city will lead the soldiers to charge the enemy and buy time for everyone to get out of the city. Qiu Yi was ashamed of His Majesty, and he would inevitably slaughter the city, and he could only fight to the death. β
City Lord Qiu sat weakly on the chair, he wanted to take off the cup on the desk with his trembling right hand, but the helpless situation of the lonely city had already crushed his last insistence.
After a long time, Qiu Yi gradually calmed down, and he saw it all at this moment.
"A person lives for a lifetime, but he dies for a lifetime. Since you can't keep Zeqing City, then let Qiu's remnants buy more time for the people!" Qiu Yi's eyes flashed, and then he picked up the wine cup and drank it all, and then shouted outside the door: "Order! Kill pigs and sheep! Reward the people for the banquet! All these people who have stuck to this day are the backbone of my Beiji! Qiu will live and die with Zeqing today!"
"City Lord Qiu, no matter how rich I am in Beiji, I can't reward it like this, right? Is it the last meal for the people, or does the city lord want to eat meat and drink wine?"
A man's voice sounded behind him, Qiu Yi looked back, and his face immediately changed. He hurriedly lifted his robe and bowed down, saying that he should die.
"Your Royal Highness King Zhong, the enemy soldiers shouted at the right time, saying that you ...... King Zhong"
"All right, all of this is known. β
Xiao Hezhong saw his soldiers stunned at the door, and then said with a smile: "Why don't you go to the herald to give a banquet? By the way, tell everyone that the enemy army will retreat soon, so let everyone eat more meat and nourish their spirits! As for the news that this king is in the city, let it go out together! Let's say that this king will go to the Nanli military camp tonight and set fire to the camp! This king not only wants everyone in the city to know! More importantly, everyone in the Nanli military camp wants to know!"
The people looked at Xiao Hezhong in disbelief and disbelief, will this little prince march and fight?
"Why are you stunned? Just do what this king says! Go quickly!"
The soldiers led the order, Qiu Yi wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Hezhong waving his hand.
"City Lord Qiu just go back to sleep and know tonight. The king was tired all the way, so he went to the back to rest first. β
Xiao Hezhong didn't care about Qiu Yi's stunned face, and walked straight to the back.
"Second brother, He Zhong has already released the news, what should I do next?"
Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, turned to Zhao Qianbei and said, "Please ask Senior Zhao to go to the reinforcement camp and let He Zhong personally write a letter." The reinforcements were instructed to hold on for three days, only to wait for the enemy to retreat, and then King Zhong and the lord of Qiu City would open the city to meet the reinforcements. β
Xiao Yi turned around and looked at Xiao Hezhong again, and said in a serious tone: "If you turn back as a brother and join Zhao's predecessors, you won't come back, mortals are fighting, and it is still inconvenient for us and other cultivators to forcibly intervene openly." Although it is inconvenient to kill enemy soldiers, it should not be discovered if you do some small means. Even if Nan Li knew that you appeared in Zeqing, he probably didn't have the courage to condemn the cultivation realm. After all, they were the ones who lost the numbers first. β
Xiao and Zhong reluctantly sent the two out of the door, only to see Senior Zhao soaring into the air in a flying boat, and Xiao Yi slowly sinking into the ground.
"The second brother is really a god!"
Not to mention Xiao Hezhong's envious expression, just say that Xiao Yi rushed all the way to the Yao family's shop in the city, and as soon as he appeared, he saw the semicolon shopkeeper Yao Qian turn out of the screen.
"Yao Qian, how much candle oil do we have in our store?"
Yao Qian was about to hurry, but he bumped into a person unexpectedly, and he actually called his first and last name.
"Your Excellency is...... Handsome...... What's wrong with your hair?"
Xiao Yi ignored this image problem, pulled up Yao Qian's robe sleeves and rushed to the warehouse.
"This is the other day after taking the thousand-year-old mountain tree heart fire. Don't worry about this for now, I'll just ask you how much stock you have at home?"
"There are a lot of things, and at this time there is no war in the store. By the way, Master Yao, how did you get into the city?"
Yao Qian was about to ask, but Xiao Yi raised his hand to stop his inquiry.
"Yao Qian, wait a minute, you take people to hide in the room, tonight the city lord will lead people to burn the camp, and our fire-causing things have already been sold. It's too secretive at this point, so wait until you keep an eye on the people in your room, so they don't see the transporters!
Xiao Yizhen instructed seriously, seeing that Yao Qian nodded yes, he immediately opened the warehouse to count the materials. In the evening, Yao Qian went out to check on more than 20 barrels of lamp oil and nearly 10,000 candles in the warehouse.
The sky had just seen dark, and the camp was already heavily guarded. Although it was almost nonsense to know that the other party had attacked the camp, they still didn't dare to take it lightly. Anyway, the troops are sent to the north, and since they don't attack the city, it is understandable to have so many vigilances.
A group of patrol soldiers in the baggage camp was still on guard when they suddenly smelled a little burnt wheat.
"Who is gluttonous? Didn't you just eat? Why did you secretly burn wheat again?"
"Why does this smell like it's burning? Dare to make a fire in the baggage camp, this is the work of the recruits, right?"
"Sure recruits!Otherwise, how could they be burned with oil?Can this wheat still be eaten...... Oil fire!"
Several of the soldiers were still complaining as they walked, but then they sensed that something was wrong. It's a pity that they only reacted, and the grain pile behind them burst into flames.
"Someone has set fire to the food!
The night wind rose suddenly, and the fire continued to spread by the wind. Many soldiers wanted to splash water to put out the fire, but this grain and grass was obviously not an ordinary flame, and a few buckets of water were splashed out, which added to the fire.
"This grain and grass is ignited by fire oil! Hurry up and separate the grain and grass that is not on fire!"
A veteran was obviously experienced, and although he reminded him very reasonably, it was still a step too late. Every grain pile has been shrouded in flames, and it is already wishful thinking to rescue it.
"The military camp of Nanli Kingdom is on fire! King Zhongwu Shenwu! Beiji will win!"
"Loyal King Shenwu!" City Lord Shenwu!"
The defenders of the city looked at the flames burning in the enemy camp in the south, and let out a burst of cheers excitedly. Qiu Yi stood at the head of the city, his face was also full of joy.
"Send this kid to the three city gates, let everyone shout together!" Qiu Yi got down the city wall, and Pegasus hurried back to the city lord's mansion.
Before he could enter the door, the voice was already shouting.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The enemy camp is on fire! His Royal Highness King Zhong is really a good means! Not only did he quietly enter the city, but he also infiltrated a troop of soldiers and horses and set fire to the camp. Qiu Yi is convinced!"
Xiao Hezhong was also overjoyed when he heard this, and then said with a straight face: "Order someone to put an incense case on the south city gate, the dead people who set fire this time are all heroes of my Beiji!
Soon, the news of the burning of the enemy camp by the eighteen dead soldiers of Beiji spread among the two armies. Xiao Yi changed his hair color back to dark, and then returned to the camp of Shoulin recruits.
Two days later, the soldiers of Nanli had no choice but to return home because of the lack of food and grass. The generals around Fufeng heard Zeqing's battle report, and they could only return in vain.
Xiao Yat brought his recruits back to Shoulin, and immediately announced that the new army was disbanded, and everyone returned to a peaceful life.
"Xianggong, you're back!"
Mrs. Yao greeted the door, took the cloak from Xiao Yi's hand, and saw that Xiao Yi didn't say a word, and she was also a little apprehensive in her heart.
When he entered the main hall, Xiao Yi sat down alone, and this kind of unkind face and not saying a word made Yiping feel uneasy. Seeing the situation, she hurriedly retreated left and right, and asked nervously: "Xianggong, what happened? The concubine looks at your face, and it seems that she has something on her mind!"
Xiao Yi glanced at her with a straight face, pondered for a long time, and then sorted out his words.
"I remembered a lot of things about this trip. It's not Yao Tai'an, it's actually ......"
"Brother Xiao! You remember it! It's so good!"
Without waiting for Xiao Yi to finish speaking, Yi Ping took the lead in shouting excitedly. Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked his wife up and down suspiciously, and couldn't remember why the other party knew his identity for a long time.
"Brother Xiao, I'm Ping'er! Yaojiatai, Yecheng, Beiji, Yao Ping'er!"
Seeing that Xiao Yi was still a little confused, Mrs. hurriedly explained: "Back then, Ping'er's father sent firewood to the city, and was injured by the restaurant, but Brother Xiao punished the murderer and handed Ping'er money to live. At that time, Brother Xiao said that he would not let Ping'er tell others about it, not even his father. Later, when Ping'er grew up, she used the money to run a shop, Brother Xiao, do you remember?"
Because in the past, Xiao Yi crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, and did not do this chivalrous thing. Although Yao Ping'er said that he had a vague impression, the beauty in front of him, how could he not get in touch with the little girl.
"Then why did Xiao become your husband, and why did he change his name to Yao Tai'an?"
Yao Ping'er sat opposite excitedly, and then told the story of 1510.
When Yao Ping'er passed through a mountain village on business, she originally just wanted to take a little rest, and by the way, she bought some mountain goods and furs, but she happened to see Xiao Yi who was sluggish and lying on the side of the road at that time.
After inquiring with the villagers, I learned that he came to this small village half a month ago. If Xiao Yi hadn't been relieved by the villagers in the past half a month, I'm afraid he would have starved to death. It's just that this person's origin is unknown, and the villagers can give him a bite to eat at most. As for luring the wolf into the house, they still didn't dare to do it. No one knows if he is a villain or not, whether he will deliberately pretend to be demented.
Yao Ping'er immediately decided to take Xiao Yi on the road with her, although the villagers also said that the matter was inappropriate, but Yao Ping'er insisted again and again. finally announced that this person was his own door-to-door husband, this was a gangster who met on the road and was injured, so his mind was not clear.
It is said that with Yao Ping'er's net worth, she really won't tarnish her reputation because of a stranger. This fiancΓ© must not be fake. But seeing everyone's doubts, Yao Ping'er immediately decided to stay for three days, and she shared a room with Xiao Yi. was in the same room for three days and three nights, and what they said was not husband and wife, I'm afraid no one would doubt it.
During this period, Yao Pinger personally scrubbed Xiao Yi's body and put on neat clothes again. This person relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Xiao Yi has been dressed up like this, although he still has a vegetable face and a dull face, but he is also a lot more energetic.
Because Xiao Yi's identity is only known to Yao Ping'er, she is afraid that Xiao Yi will expose her whereabouts and attract enemies. So simply named Xiao Yi Yao Tai'an, meaning that he hoped that he would be safe in the future.
Yao Ping'er also hopes that he can remember his own affairs as soon as possible, but he can't prompt him in front of people at any time. As a result, he simply changed his name from Yao Ping'er to Yao Yiping.
Although he knew Xiao Yi's name, he had only heard it once, and he didn't know much about the specific Yi character. I just hope that in the future, Brother Xiao will often call her name and remember a little, then she will have no regrets in her life.
Later, Yao Yiping taught Xiao Yi to speak every day, and it took him half a year before he regained the ability to communicate with people normally. However, with the opening of this door, Xiao Yat's reading and literacy is simply a matter of course. When his beloved son was born the next year, Xiao Yat gradually became the leader of the Yao family.
The two met in Yecheng, so Yao Yiping named her Nian Ye, and in her heart, that moment in Yecheng was the eternity of her life.
As the business got bigger and bigger, Nian Ye moved his family to Nanli Guoshou Town when he was one year old. has been living in Beiji, Yao Yiping is worried that there will be enemies to find Xiao Yi's traces. Although living in Beiji may be more conducive to Brother Xiao's recovery memory, compared to safety, all this is no longer so important. As long as Brother Xiao is safe, even if he is demented for a lifetime, Yao Yiping will never leave him.
Hearing Yao Ping'er's explanation, Xiao Yi was also full of emotion. Although he is very unfamiliar with this wife, another voice in his heart keeps shouting that this is his wife and the mother of his children!
"Ping'er, Brother Xiao just remembered the past, and he has to meditate to consolidate the ...... for two days."
Seeing Yao Yiping's face suddenly lost, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay Ping'er, you can concentrate on taking care of Nian Ye for the past two days, and when Brother Xiao consolidates his body, our family of three will celebrate again." β
Yao Ping'er, who was originally in tears, heard Xiao Yi's words and knew that Brother Xiao not only admitted Nian Ye, but also admitted himself as a wife, so she burst into tears and laughed.
"Brother Xiao, then Ping'er will go to tidy up your room immediately, except for three meals a day, Ping'er will definitely not disturb Brother Xiao. β
Xiao Yi nodded approvingly, and then turned his hand to reveal a palm-sized token.
"Ping'er, you don't have to eat three meals, Brother Xiao won't be fine if you don't drink or eat for a month. You will wear this on your body in the future, and if someone wants to be unfavorable to you, they will probably give up these thoughts when they see this token!"
Yao Ping'er took the token and saw that there was an ice character engraved in the center of the red token. Although I don't understand how this thing is explained, since Brother Xiao lets him wear it with him, even if there is something else hidden, Yao Ping'er will not think much about it.
Yao's back house, in the bedroom.
"Senior Zhao, why did you get here?"
