Yan Ding was very anxious in the Anning Palace, sitting on the throne, he picked up the teapot, put it on the tea table next to him, and shook his head. All this was seen by the general of the journey, Akibazi. It turned out that Qiu Yezi and Yan Ruyu had been waiting by the door, not wanting to disturb their father, but which daughter could make her father sad alone. At this time, Yan Ruyu walked towards Yan Ding.
"Father, are you alright?" Yan Ding raised his head and saw that it was his daughter and son-in-law who came, and immediately stood up and greeted him: "Ruyu, you can also see that your father has something on your mind?" Akibazi stepped forward and said, "Father, what makes you so anxious?" Yan Ding said: "I won't tell you anything, a month ago I sent the left guard to lead a hundred envoys to the Yuan court to report the good news, so far there is no news, yesterday you also saw it, my son did not see the Yuan envoy at the celebration of the full moon, I am afraid that the left guard is more auspicious!" ”
Autumn Leaf nodded, pulled her mouth and said, "Father, that's not necessarily, maybe he defected!" Yan Ding crooked his mouth and smiled: "You little hairy boy, what do you know?" The left guard has been fighting with me for many years, I don't know what he is like, if he had defected, he would have defected, even if he rebelled, he was powerful, his loyalty to me, how could you understand it as a little doll? ”
Autumn leaves looked at everything in Yan Ding, and then said, "Father, please send me to search for the left guard!" If he rebels or becomes king, I will cut him with a sword!" Yan Ding looked at this stubborn son-in-law, shook his head dissatisfiedly, and said, "Do you know how stupid you are like this? How many times have I told you, I ordered you to immediately lead fifty elite soldiers to Dadu in disguise, whether the left guard is dead or alive, you have to bring him back, understand? Otherwise, I'll try to ask you! ”
Qiu Yezi promised and immediately returned to the camp to set off, and Yan Ruyu took Yan Ding to Anle Palace to visit his sister, brother and aunt.
The sunset is shining, dusk is approaching, and the picture scroll embellished by the sunset on the horizon feasts the eyes of Autumn Leaves and his party, but Autumn Leaves does not forget its mission, rests in place for a while, and immediately leads the troops to hurry.
As night fell, Akibako and his party continued to hurry, and a soldier said, "General, we haven't eaten for half a day, and we're so hungry!" The soldiers cried out. Akibazi made a stop gesture, then walked quickly to the soldier who took the lead in complaining, and scolded: "You are not worthy of being a soldier, you are still a soldier carefully selected by me, I ask you, in case of a war with the enemy army, we will be able to eat on the spot when we are hungry?" Now there is no news about the left guard, you are like this, how can you repay the king's favor to us when you go back? ”
The soldier was silent, and the soldiers on the side stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to continue on their way. But how is Akibako a general who doesn't talk about people? In fact, he himself was hungry.
Akibako said, "Okay, since everyone is using morale, let's go!" Then he grunted, "Wait! People are iron, food is steel, and all soldiers obey orders! ”
All the soldiers stood up, and Akibako said, "I order you to divide into five groups, each group of ten people to go hunting in the depths of the woods!" Remember to go fast and go back quickly. ”
The soldiers on the left and right answered the promise and immediately set off, leaving Akibako alone to stand in place with a sword in hand, and he lit a bonfire and sat next to him.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, almost blowing out the bonfire, and Autumn Leaves, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, knew at once that an uninvited guest was coming. He fell to his knees on one knee and pointed his sword at the stars.
"Ahh......h Autumn leaves shouted: "Where is sacred? Dare to provoke my general on the journey! The black shadow continued to rotate, wrapping around the autumn leaves, and the autumn leaves landed steadily on the trunk of the tree a few feet above a few feet in a somersault, and the hands were imprinted and chanted: "The sword is out of the sheath!" Countless swords flew out of the scabbard behind him and stabbed at the black shadow. He slashed at the shadow with his sword.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" A woman's voice came out from between the dark shadows, and Autumn Leaves pointed at the black shadows and said, "Where did the demon come from, don't show up quickly!" I saw a wonderful woman come out from between the shadows, kneel in front of Autumn Leaves and said: "Thank you for the hero's life-saving grace, if the hero does not dislike it, the little woman is willing to serve the hero!" ”
The woman approached slowly, and the sword in Akibako's hand kept shaking, as if she had sensed something.
A smell of foxes came, and Autumn Leaves immediately stabbed it, only to see that the woman suddenly wore fangs, opened her teeth and claws, revealing her extremely ugly face.
Before Akibazi could unsheath the sword, it was surrounded by black shadows, and the sword that was unable to hold it had to fall to the ground involuntarily.
The woman opened her bloody mouth and bared her fangs to bite off the autumn leaves. At this moment, there was a sound in the air.
"The fox demon Xi Shi has lived a lifetime, and the poor old and young are separated by a thousand springs. The bold fox demon is not ready to surrender quickly! As soon as the words fell, an old Taoist slowly fell to the ground, and the fox demon said disdainfully: "Big old man, who are you, don't pretend to be a god here to spoil the good things of the old lady!" You're so old, the meat must be sour, I won't eat you, go and run for your life! ”
Lao Dao always smiled: "You don't know where you came from, the hairy goblin, I will spare your life for the sake of your cultivation of human form, but you have to release him immediately." ”
The fox demon didn't listen to the old way, but intensified it, and continued to bite the autumn leaves, but this is also the retribution for not listening to the old man.
I saw Lao Dao reciting a spell, and a divine sword instantly cut off the fox demon's head to the ground, and a blood-colored fountain appeared on its neck. All of this was clearly seen by Autumn Leaves, who struggled to open her eyes in the dark shadows.
Lao Dao continued to instruct the sword to split the black shadow, and dozens of soldiers fell around the campfire, all of them still dead. Autumn leaves saw that they were the subordinates of the left guard, and found the left guard not far away.
Before Qiu Yezi could thank Lao Dao for his rescue, Lao Dao drove the clouds into the air and left a sentence: "Qiankun Xu Da has no name, and he evacuates one of the people." ”
At this time, Qiu Yezi's subordinates heard the sound of the fight and immediately rushed over, and Qiu Yezi ordered his subordinates to return the wounded soldiers to the camp, and he carried the left guard back to Surabaya to meet Yan Ding.
As soon as Yan Ding heard that the left guard was injured, he immediately called the best military doctor. Autumn leaves reported what they had seen and heard to the king of Zhou. King Zhou said: "After the left guard recovers, call him to make it clear." ”
Soon, Qiu Yezi took the recovered left guards and a few soldiers to the King Yan Ding in front of the Anning Palace.
Yan Ding said: "Son-in-law, the way of God you said before, I think it should be him!" Guard, tell me what the task I gave you was going to be, right? ”
Akibazi was puzzled: "Father, who is that Taoist priest?" "Yan Ding has always treated Autumn Leaves so harshly, because he has long regarded Autumn Leaves as his own son. This time, Akibako asked questions that shouldn't be asked.
Yan Ding slowly walked up to Qiu Yezi and slapped him: "Didn't you hear me asking the left guard?" Akibako covered her right cheek with her right hand and kept silent.
The left guard stepped forward and said: "Great King, my subordinates are incompetent, what happened is only because of that fox demon, I did not report the news of the arrival of the twins to the Yuan Court." I hope the king is convicted! ”
Yan Ding said: "I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, you will be the teacher of my two children, you have to train them into talents who are both civil and military, the hope of Da Zhou is all about them, if they are wastes after many years...... I want you to watch them grow up. ”
The left guard wanted to resign, but he felt that he could do the job, so he nodded and agreed.
After everyone dispersed, Yan Ding sat on the throne alone, playing with the treasure jade in his hand, looking at the teapot, showing a trace of fear in the afterglow, and then shook his head. Maybe it's worried that the Yuan army is coming, or just want to save the family? Only he should know this, and the most important thing at the moment is to watch his two sons grow up quickly.
