Chapter 838: There Is No Free Lunch

Xiao Zhang was speechless, he didn't know if Lan Xiang was praising or scolding him, so he didn't know how to respond for a while, and finally held back a sentence after holding back for a long time: "Xiang'er, don't be so praised, I don't know whether to be happy or depressed." ”

Lan Xiang didn't answer, but continued: "To make it clear, you are not an official. ”

This sentence is straightforward enough, and it suddenly entered Xiao Zhang's heart, Xiao Zhang almost clapped his hands: "Xiang'er's words are good, if you want to say that I am better than anyone else, but if you want to say that I am an official, I am really not that material." Well, Xiang'er means ......"

The former sentence was praised, but the latter sentence was exposed, Xiao Zhang still didn't understand what Lan Xiang wanted to say, so he had to use Lan Xiang's silky hands as a punching bag with a little embarrassment, and kept kneading and playing with them, and the original pair of cold and pale tender hands were pinched out of red marks.

Lan Xiang didn't resist Xiao Zhang's doing whatever she wanted, because she knew that Xiao Zhang was trying his best to relieve the cold in her body.

"What I mean is obvious, it's for you to keep doing what you do best. Lan Xiang let Xiao Zhang wantonly torture her hands and said calmly.

Speaking of which, if Xiao Zhang doesn't understand it anymore, then there is a problem with his IQ. So, he said, "You mean, let me go alone again? Well, that's what I do best, and that's what I like." So, who will lead the 200,000 troops?"

"Me. Lan Xiang said very dryly.

Xiao Zhang immediately praised: "Wonderful! I will first enter the inside of the Demon Dao, and then Xiang'er will lead an army of 200,000 to join me inside and out, in this way, the Demon Dao will be broken!"

Lan Xiang finally showed an affirmative expression, and also praised it rarely: "The inside of the Demon Dao is dangerous and complicated, but I believe in your ability. ”

I have to say that this is the first time Xiao Zhang has heard a compliment from Lan Xiang's mouth, and he can't help but be overjoyed: "If you guess correctly this time, Xiang'er is praising me, right?"

Lan Xiang didn't answer, and continued: "The Extreme West Demon Dao has existed on the continent for thousands of years, and the cultivators of the Central Plains have organized countless expeditions, all of which have been unsuccessful, and since the Demon Dao can endure for a long time, it means that they still have extremely strong strength. Moreover, there are several natural hazards between the Central Plains and the extreme west, and they can make it an insurmountable barrier as long as they arrange it slightly. Therefore, it is not advisable for the imperial court to send a large army directly to the west. ”

Xiao Zhang continued: "Then I need to rush to the extreme west first to clear the passage for the imperial army in advance." ”

Lan Xiang nodded and didn't speak, but Xiao Zhang felt that the pair of small hands in his hands suddenly became stronger, grabbed his hand, grasped it very tightly, and even trembled slightly.

Although those little hands were cold, Xiao Zhang felt a surge of warmth in his heart, he knew that Xiang'er was worried about his safety, the danger of the demon path was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and he could be described as a life of nine deaths.

"Xiang'er, don't worry. Xiao Zhang couldn't help but hug the cold body into his arms, and used his chest to warm her body and mind, "I'm Zhuge Ming's apprentice, it's going to be fine." ”

Xiang'er enjoyed his warmth and said, "If you can't come back from the extreme west, it proves that you are not qualified to continue to be his apprentice, and you will naturally be given up by him." Therefore, everything depends on yourself, there is no free lunch in the world. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Zhang's heart suddenly sank. Indeed, the reason why he was accepted as an apprentice by Zhuge Ming was because Zhuge Ming saw his potential, but once his potential was gone, he would naturally be abandoned.

I want to be sheltered by others for free for the rest of my life, dream!

Xiao Zhang pressed a little hard and hugged Xiang'er tightly, and the next moment, to Xiao Zhang's surprise, Xiang'er took the initiative to make a move, only to feel that she began to gently untie his clothes.

She longs for his love, longs for his warmth, if it weren't for him, she would have died long ago, he wants to grasp this love, grasp this warmth.

Xiao Zhang hugged her, and the two slowly lay on the straw mat, lingering and endless......

Outside the thatched house, the aunt put her ear to the grass wall, and listened to it with relish, with a vulgar smile on her face, and her fat face was even more red.

…………

As the sun set, Xiao Zhang dragged his "tired" body out of Zhuge Thatched Cottage, although Xiang'er was already his woman, but this time was the one he felt the happiest and most satisfied.

But after the happiness was satisfied, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt a burst of heart palpitations, and he seemed to feel that Xiang'er seemed to be explaining the future.

On the eve of the Western Expedition, she gave him her body and mind and everything, and she was so active and thorough, was she worried that he would never come back?

No matter what, Xiao Zhang has no way back, although he is also afraid of death, he can only go to the extreme west.

Standing on the street and looking around blankly, Xiao Zhang still didn't know where to go, there was a big soul capital, and there was no place for him to stay.

He remembered Xiaohuan's warm boudoir, so he came to the boudoir, but instead of seeing Xiaohuan there, he saw another person.

"Xuanyuan, why are you here?" Xiao Zhang was surprised.

Xuanyuan Jue still looked like a carefree child, shook the folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Xiaohuan has gone to the third door of the grass hall, and she can't use this room anymore." ”

Xiao Zhang was very unhappy: "Even if she can't use it, it won't be your turn to use it, I don't have a fixed foothold in Soul Beijing, so I just requisitioned here." ”

Xuanyuan decided for a moment and said, "Brother Xiao, please take care of yourself." After saying that, he was about to drift away.

Xiao Zhang hurriedly said: "Don't leave yet, I just have something to look for you." ”

Xuanyuan turned around and said, "Brother Xiao, please speak." ”

Xiao Zhang didn't speak immediately, but looked at Xuanyuan Decision carefully from top to bottom, as if he wanted to remember every detail of his body.

No matter how calm Xuanyuan is, it is really a little uncomfortable to be stared at like this by a big man;"Uh...... Brother Xiao ......"

Xiao Zhang cleared his throat and said, "This time I don't plan to lead the army to the west, but I want to go to the Demon Dao alone. ”

Xuanyuan was not surprised at all, and continued to wait for Xiao Zhang's next step.

"So, I have something to ask of you. Xiao Zhang continued, "I want to borrow your image for use. ”

Xuanyuan Jue was slightly surprised: "Brother Xiao, what does this mean?"

Xiao Zhang smiled: "I have become your appearance, so that I can better penetrate the inside of the Demon Dao." I know that you are nominally the prince's person after all, and there must be a prince's person in the Demon Dao, so you don't have to go to the Demon Dao, I'll just go for you. ”

Xuanyuan laughed: "Brother Xiao is scheming!, but who will lead the 200,000 imperial court army?"

"Naturally, it's Xiang'er. Xiao Zhang said, "I will work with her inside and outside to defeat the demon path together." ”
