In another half a year, the imperial court will send a large army to the west to defeat the Demon Dao, and as the two court elites appointed by the emperor, Xiao Zhang and Xuanyuan Jue gradually felt a little pressure.

Xuanyuan always had a peaceful smile on his face, but once he mentioned the matter of the Western Expedition, he immediately became serious, and no matter who he was talking about, he would never say a word related to this matter.

As for Xiao Zhang, in addition to some pressure, he was more excited, he could finally go to the unknown land to explore like he did when he was in the Heavenly Soul Sect.

Xiao Zhang is a perfectionist, he never fights unprepared battles, and he is not fully sure that he will not take any risks, but this does not prevent him from enjoying adventures, because every expedition he will gain a lot, and he likes the thrill and the feeling of harvest.

Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time, Xiao Zhang's quick temper has begun to trouble, he can't wait, and sometimes he even has the idea of going to the Demon Dao to explore the way first.

However, just when he really wanted to carry out this idea, Xuanyuan appeared in front of him and gave him a task.

Just like last time, Xuanyuan Jue didn't know how to sneak into Zhuge Thatched Cottage and came to Xiao Zhang's thatched hut.

The gently swaying folding fan brought a burst of fragrance, Xuanyuan Jue was still the usual chic and elegant, like a spring breeze, and somehow, Xiao Zhang was inexplicably angry when he saw Xuanyuan Jue's posture, and even had an urge to rush to the mouths of the two of them.

"Brother Xiao, don't come unharmed!" this is Xuanyuan's usual way of greeting.

Xiao Zhang glanced at Xuanyuan lukewarmly, and said lightly, "What are you doing again?"

Xuanyuan Jue smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but Xiao Zhang preemptively said: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the corner!"

"In that case, let's get straight to the point. Xuanyuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I came here to persuade you, uh, it should be said that I invited Brother Xiao to go to the Southern Xuanyuan Gate." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Aren't you the chief disciple of Xuanyuan Sect? What are you inviting me for?

Xuanyuan decided: "If you really invite Brother Xiao to be a guest, I don't know if Brother Xiao is willing to appreciate his face?"

Xiao Zhang stared at Xuanyuan Decision quietly, and after a long time, he suddenly burst out laughing: "It won't be a Hongmen banquet, right?"

"Hehehehe...... Xuanyuan Jue's smile seemed to be a little mysterious, "This is understandable, Brother Xiao has long wanted to know the details of Zaixia, but he has never been able to get what he wants, so he has always had a clear sense of rejection of Zaixia." ”

Xiao Zhangpi smiled and said, "Do you know what the Hongmen Banquet means?"

Xuanyuan never answered, but suddenly put away his smile and asked, "I just want to know, does Brother Xiao dare to go?"

The two looked at each other, quite a needle-to-wheat posture, and after a long time, Xiao Zhang suddenly laughed: "What dare you do? Tell me why you invited me to Xuanyuan Gate, and if you don't want to tell your insidious purpose, then you can give me a reason that will make me tempted. ”

"Okay! it's good enough!" Xuanyuan praised decisively, and then closed the folding fan with a brush, "If you say that it was the prince who sent down to lure Brother Xiao to Xuanyuan Gate, I wonder how Brother Xiao would feel?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhang's expression suddenly turned grim, he knew that Xuanyuan was nominally a subordinate recruited by the prince after all, so it was normal for Xuanyuan to do things for the prince.

Xiao Zhang thought for a moment, and then asked, "Prince, what did the prince lure me to Xuanyuan Gate for?"

Xuanyuan Jue's expression at this moment was a little serious, and even a little gloomy and completely devoid of his usual spring breeze-like smile: "Brother Xiao, after listening to the following words, you must stay calm, whether to go or not, Brother Xiao must think carefully, don't act impulsively." ”

Hearing Xuanyuan say this, Xiao Zhang was aroused: "I'm very sensible, you say, you say it quickly!"

Xuanyuan Du pondered for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "I, the order of Prince Feng, came to lure you to Xuanyuan Gate, and after you enter Xuanyuan Gate, I will use the resources of Xuanyuan Gate to try to kill you." As for why you want to go to Xuanyuan Gate and not go anywhere else, it is because Xuanyuan Gate secretly belongs to the prince's sphere of influence, and where there are countless favorable conditions that can put you to death. ”

After these words, there was a long silence in the hut, Xiao Zhang lowered his head and closed his eyes, and Xuanyuan decided to look at Xiao Zhang with blazing eyes, waiting for Xiao Zhang's response.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Zhang suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head to look at Xuanyuan Jue, and then only said two words: "I'll go!"

Xuanyuan was about to express his admiration, but he heard Xiao Zhang say again: "I'll go to your uncle! Can I go to this kind of death? When I get to someone's one-third of an acre of land, I have to be stripped of skin if I don't die?"

This big pant made Xuanyuan Jue couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Xiao is really humorous, but don't be in a hurry to refuse first, and after listening to what you say, it's not too late to make a decision." ”

Xiao Zhang really wanted to understand Xuanyuan's flickering**, so he nodded and said, "Yes, but try to be as brief as possible, my time is precious." ”

Although Xuanyuan Jue has a good cultivation on weekdays, he is deep and calm, but after Xiao Zhang's troubles, he can't help but blush and white for a while, which is very embarrassing.

After easing his emotions slightly, Xuanyuan decided to look at Xiao Zhang, who had always been sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiao, don't you please sit down?"

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then looked around, shrugged his shoulders and said: "You have also seen that my thatched hut is simple, only a grass bed, if you don't dislike it, come and sit with me." ”

Xuanyuan Du frowned and shook his head, and said, "That's it, just stand and talk about it." ”

Xiao Zhang was not polite: "Please." ”

Xuanyuan Jue frowned and began to say: "Xuanyuan Gate is the strength of the prince, and it can also be said to be the most important force under the prince, and the current head Xuanyuan Hong is the cronies cultivated by the prince. After the death of the previous head of the year, Xuanyuan Hong, the chief disciple at that time, naturally succeeded as the head. And the reason why Xuanyuan Hong was able to become the chief disciple before was because the prince used countless palace resources to promote his cultivation, and gave him countless top-level magic weapons and methods......"

"Do you want to be the head of Xuanyuan Sect?" Xiao Zhang suddenly interrupted Xuanyuan's words and said such a clueless sentence.

Xuanyuan Jue's face suddenly turned a little red, and asked, "Why did Brother Xiao say this?"

Xiao Zhang smiled: "You said so much, don't you just want to say that as long as the head of the sect dies, the chief disciple will succeed the head of the sect, and if Xuanyuan Hong dies, you will be the head of the sect, right?"

Xuanyuan Jue's forehead was sweating, and he said with embarrassment: "Brother Xiao is serious......

"You just say don't you, hurry up!" Xiao Zhang said simply.

Xuanyuan's face turned red, he originally wanted to express his intentions euphemistically, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhang to be so cunning that he actually saw through his mind a few steps in advance. But the matter has come to this point, and he has to go down the slope: "Don't hide it from Brother Xiao...... Yes!"
