It took half a month for the Yan army to capture two cities, and marched non-stop to the next place, during which the Mu army in the hands of the Xi Dynasty was requisitioned, mainly the special bow and crossbow soldiers, which were hidden behind the shield soldiers in the charge and launched twelve consecutive stars, which took a favorable opportunity for the siege.

This battle Xi Dynasty only sent 2,000 people into battle, even if Yan Hongyi Lion opened his mouth and said that he wanted all, the Xi Dynasty did not pay attention to it and knew that the Yan brothers took this opportunity to test the number of people in their hands, heh, how interesting, she was not stupid, how could she say that she would give as much as she borrowed, and she would come according to her own thoughts, so that the Yan brothers and others felt that what they sent out was all, or that they still had the strength to spare.

Xi Chaocai didn't think about the inferences of the Yan brothers, she immediately had something new to do, and she didn't have time to take care of the Yan army's siege of the city, so she ordered Hongrui to pack up and set off on a certain day.

"Master, can you really get your wish here?" Hongrui has no bottom in her heart, and it is a little difficult to achieve her goal according to the master's resolute and resolute way of doing things.

"If you go, you will know, how can you know if you can't do it without trying." Xi Chao didn't hesitate for a moment, her purpose has always been very clear.

"That's a hidden man." Hongrui couldn't hide his respect when he talked about this, and said that the hermit was mostly respected as a master, and he had always regarded the red world as nothing, and he would never interfere in it.

"Oh, that you may speak as if you were one who stands above the world." Xi Chao sneered, a sneer flashed in his eyes, "It's nothing more than making a false noise, if you really don't ask about the world, live in seclusion outside the red dust, what to eat and drink, anything that is inseparable from silver money is not to jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, everyone has ambitions and desires." It's just a division that is shown on the surface, and if you really look at them a few times, it will really be a waste of a true heart. ”

"The master will say some crooked reasoning." Hongrui glared at the master who poured cold water on her.

"Whether it's crooked or not, we'll see." Xi Chao doesn't argue with Hongrui, and some things may not be seen clearly when they are put in front of them.

"Still take Doctor Xu with you this time?" Hongrui asked casually. This has become the default fact.

"Take, see and see everyone's demeanor, learn how the old fox is full of words, and the words are not leaky." The Xi Dynasty has always scoffed at the family, if it weren't for the need for such talents at hand, and if they didn't want the situation to be stable, how could they ask outsiders to stand on the field, and they had to take precautions afterwards. This is really disturbing.

"Just rush at the master's attitude, if you want to enter the door, you will be beaten out." Hongrui can't help but sigh for the purpose of this trip, and the master can't accept his temperament. What can you please by hitting it hard?

"With people, we can't help it." It's a big deal to be stronger, and Xi Chao didn't really go to bow down and look down on people's faces, she invited people not ancestors who were shaking their majesty on a high shelf.

"Take as many people as you want. The Forbidden Army is also going? "Hongrui doesn't believe in the Forbidden Army. I am afraid that there will be bad things in my heart, and I will naturally resist it, and besides, it is quiet, and the fanfare is not decent, not to mention that the Yan brothers suddenly became suspicious, and they regenerated suspicions, no, it is a remedy for the expansion of the rift, and it is really impossible to justify the whitewashing of the peace.

"The equipment of a thousand guards is ready, so I don't need to teach you how to choose people." Even if the Xi Dynasty wants to use personal guards, it has to avoid people's eyes. You have to know how to choose people.

"The master can rest assured, the guards are scattered in the army, except for those who live nearby, they rarely have a close relationship with others. It is difficult for ordinary people to find the difference, and they can't suspect that these people are the master's manpower, but they will only feel that the master is used to promoting newcomers, and they are better than the generals in the army in terms of strength, and the army is ranked by martial arts, and they will only feel that the life of the selected person is good, and the martial arts are good to be selected by the master, and there will be no jealousy and hatred. Hongrui spat out a lot of words.

Xi Chao listened and laughed, "Don't say anything about flattery and patting horses with your mouth." "Your own people know why they do what they do.

"The master is really, it's not enough to praise a sentence and a half." Hongrui puffed out her cheeks and glared at her master, "Other people's masters like the people below the most to flatter and greet and be filial, and they are not willing to listen to the master's eccentric and good words." ”

"I think you're getting less and less stable." Xi Chaozhi shook his head, "This is a problem that has to be corrected." ”

"The master is happy with the slave and the maid again." Hongrui stomped her feet angrily, "The slave maid is busy like a spinning top all day long, how can she be so idle." ”

"I'm not poor with you." Xi Chao was in a good mood and teased Hongrui a few words.

"The slave maid went and called Doctor Xu Xiao to come over." Hongrui couldn't stand the master's teasing, and went out with a blank face.

Xi played with walnuts in his left hand, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow, and it was rare to have this good mood.

Yan Suyi and Yan Hongyi were looking at the array map, and suddenly heard that the young man outside would report that the Wing King had arrived.

The two of them felt quite strange, how could the Wing King come at this time, and look outside to see that it was dark, in the past, the Wing King had already rested at this hour, why did he know so clearly, it was because Yan Suyi had found the Wing King at the same hour, of course, he couldn't meet him, and he heard the Wing King's maid say that the Wing King slept very soundly, no matter whether it was true or not, he couldn't be cheeky and dig people out of bed, Yan Suyi thought that he couldn't do this and had to return in vain.

The two looked at each other and saw the word strange in each other's eyes, and returned to their senses to invite the Wing King to enter, and the Heart Dao Wing King must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he had never stepped into the big tent here for more than half a month.

It's good to really send someone to go! The Yan brothers almost frightened the bitter gall, so they rushed at the Wing King's wanton and reckless nature, saying that there was no discussion about turning their faces, and the good at the moment was not easy to spread, and there were some things in the pavilion that wanted to guess how to take action, and they must not really take action, and now they can't afford to offend the Wing King.

The Winged King Divine Crossbowmen have a remarkable effect, and many people have the idea of a special bow and crossbow, and the untrue thoughts of Ming Robbing have run out, if the situation does not allow it, they will really do it with a hot head.

The two Yan Suyi brothers were about to be driven crazy by the generals with blue eyes in their eyes, and they said that they would take down the bow and crossbow that was conducive to the war. You don't need to deliberately train the weapons that you can use, although you can't do the archer's real 100 steps through the yang, but the arrows like the twelve crossbows are not missing. If you are killed, you say that any soldier does not want to have such a life-saving weapon.

The generals can be described as soft grinding and hard bubbles, tossing Yan Suyi's two brothers' heads as big as a fight, it's really not that they deliberately hide and don't do things, it's really difficult to do.

The Yan brothers once approached the Wing King for the matter of the bow and crossbow, and the Wing King did not let go of the purchase or exchange of technology, the reason was that they did not look down on the weapons of the Yan Kingdom. Mu Guo wants to make it himself, and he is not afraid of trouble at all, and he is also idle when he is idle, so that the two brothers vomit three liters of blood. What is this called! In the end, he had to settle for the next best thing, and one thing could be opened by the Winged King, as long as he did not violate the covenant.

In the end, the Wing King still did not agree, no matter whether it was useless to open the gold and silver mountains. The Wing King took out a sentence and blocked it back. It is said that the bow and crossbow are cast after a lot of hard work, and the twelve stars are the extreme, for which not only manpower, material and financial resources have been paid, but every drop of sweat of the craftsman is mixed with painstaking efforts, not measured by money, which is an insult to the craftsman.

Look, the truth is set in a set, and it sounds like it has such a meaning. But it also made the Yan brothers feel uncomfortable, why didn't they say it earlier. That is, it is a hard work to show off something, purely for self-justification, without a word of truth.

At this point, the Yan brothers returned in vain, and told the generals in the army about the situation, begging them to find another way not to toss them.

The generals had already expected that the Wing King would not even sell the face of the two princes, and it seemed that fair trade would not work, and there was only one plan that was acceptable, that is, stealing, phew, what to steal is to take.

Yan Hongyi secretly scolded a group of old foxes, why didn't they say it a long time ago, but now they don't say it as an afterthought.

Before returning, Xi Chao stepped into the tent, found a chair and sat down, and said straight to the point: "I want to go out on a long trip, and the soldiers under my command will look at it, and say to Hongrui if there is something, she is in charge." ”

The Yan brothers were stunned by the sudden words of the Wing King, going out at this time, it is still far away, where can they go, where is there no war? A series of questions came to mind at first glance, and I subconsciously felt that the Wing King was joking.

"The return date is uncertain, not too long." How can Xi Chao leave the soldiers in the army to go simply, there are still four or five days of free, and there may be any accidents after a long time, she doesn't want to be cheated again.

"Where are you going?" Yan Hongyi blurted out the question floating in his heart, and as soon as the words came out, he was shocked that he shouldn't have asked like this.

"Meet a friend." Xi Chao replied half-truthfully, she didn't have a penchant for reporting her whereabouts.

"Friend, are you defending the country?" Yan Hongyi didn't give up, he was afraid that the Wing King would do it on purpose, and he would wait for the prey to jump in, not his villain's heart and the belly of a gentleman, but the Wing King had this criminal record, if he didn't ask clearly, who could rest assured, in fact, he couldn't do it if he asked clearly, this matter couldn't be done.

"Well, I have known each other since I was a child, and I followed his father to wander away and unfortunately caught up with the war, and now I have nowhere to go, so I found a place to live in seclusion first, and I happened to go here to take a look at the old days, and I don't know what it is like to see it for many years." Xi Chao's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open is bullish, and his expression is even more in line with the words, so that people can't find mistakes, but Hongrui didn't follow, otherwise he would really laugh off.

The expression of the Guanyi King did not seem to be fake, and he knew that the Wing King had been sent away for eleven years since he was a child, maybe there was really such an old friend, and the Yan brothers let go of half of their wariness.

"How many people to take?" Yan Hongyi wanted to ask the crossbowmen if they went with him, but he was afraid of causing the Wing King to be displeased, so he added, "Pay more attention to safety when there is chaos outside." "That's not the case at all.

"A thousand people, choose the ones who are good to take them, and the friends live in the middle of nowhere, outside the war." Xi Chao continued to compile, with a nose and eyes, not afraid of the Yan brothers' investigation, if you want to investigate, you have to finish the war, and now there is a shortage of manpower, Zhan Junfei was sent out yesterday to raise grain and grass and can't come back for a while, these are all calculated.

"When are you leaving?" Yan Suyi tugged at his brother's shirt under the table to prevent him from saying inappropriate words.

"Tomorrow morning." Xi Chao doesn't hide it, he can't hide it if he wants to, the team of 1,000 people is not as eye-catching as a small move.

"Can the crossbowmen keep half of them?" Yan Suyi asked tentatively.

"Keep them all, and it's not like you're looking for a place where there's no need to be aggressive." Xi Chao gave a word that reassured the Yan brothers.

"Bring two, it's cheap if you have one." Yan Su kindly reminded him, as if he cared about it between friends.

Xi Chao secretly laughed, when did Bing become someone else's own. You need the approval of the Yan brothers to take people away, what is the reason!

After saying that, Xi Chao sat up soon and said goodbye, and he had to get up early tomorrow. Leave the Yan brothers to spare time, and ponder by themselves those who have and don't, and they will not be accompanied.

"What kind of madness do you think the Wing King is smoking?" Yan Hongyi still can't guess the mind of the Wing King.

"Leave it alone." Yan Su didn't want to think about the things that boiled his heart, the Wing King has always been assertive and eccentric, and it is better to focus on the right thing than to guess in vain.

"Will the Winged King go back on his word?" Yan Hongyi was still relieved, it was a bow and crossbow with twelve stars, and there was a fixed number of arrows shot. When cleaning the battlefield, it must be taken back, and the number must be matched, which is the premise for the Winged King to allow the deployment of crossbowmen. Of course, Yan Suyi and others don't want to see good things fall into the hands of the enemy, and they spare no effort to implement them.

"Don't worry, when the Wing King breaks his word and speaks fat, it doesn't count." Yan Su was not worried. Only for the Wing King to travel far away at this time and inexplicable.

"Do you want to send someone to follow from afar?" Yan Hongyi didn't fully believe what the Wing King said. I didn't want to believe that kind of statement, and the Winged King's move must have a purpose.

"Not necessarily." Once the wrath of the Wing King Yan Suyi does not dare to meet it head-on, it is not a matter of fear or fear, but the stakes of the battle.

"Okay." Yan Hongyi just mentioned it, but he couldn't do it in his heart, let alone feel aggrieved.

Before dawn on the second day, Xi Chao sat in the carriage and left with a thousand guards, and Xu Mian sat in the spacious carriage. The Wing King on the opposite side is sleeping in a fake sleep.

A house built halfway up the mountain, not very conspicuous from the outside. Inside, it is rich and quiet, with the magnificence and ingenuity of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, giving people a sense of tranquility and long-term comfort.

"Brother Guangyuan is still so tough." The septuagenarian who came here as a guest stroked his beard and smiled, and there was a young man with a weak crown beside him.

"Brother Fengchang praises falsely, and this old bone will live one day longer." The old man known as Guangyuan and his friend looked at each other and smiled.

The two are actually the same age, and they are close friends, and from time to time they go to the door to talk about elegance and have fun.

"Come into the house and sit, it's cold outside." People are not as old as a year, if they are not properly maintained, how can they still be angry at this age, and Zhongzhong's face is bright.

"Ji Hui is more and more like Brother Fengchang back then." Fang Guangyuan stroked his beard and looked at his old friend's grandchildren.

"It's just not a good match." Having said that, it was difficult to hide his love for this eldest grandson in his eyes, and Ji Fengchang smiled and responded.

After a few idle sentences, he turned to the main topic, and when he talked about the war in Weidi, his face involuntarily calmed down, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

"Alas, what can be done, the talents of the patriotic royal family are adjusted and they are brave and brave to provoke a war against Mu Guo, and they end up with a royal family." Fang Guangyuan really sighed, and he couldn't say whether he regretted it or was indignant at the superiors.

"After all, it is the people who suffer." Ji Fengchang was silent with his eyebrows raised.

"It doesn't change anything." With his own strength, he could not reverse the suffering of the people due to the war, Fang Guangyuan knew this, and only sighed that his life should be so unblessed.

"I heard that it was Yan Guo who sent troops this time." Ji Fengchang was puzzled, "It was obviously Mu Jun before, why did you change the priority?" "There is a reason why Mu Guo sent troops to attack Wei Guo, because Wei Guo made the first move, and now Yan Guo always feels that there is something strange in it.

"The wolf ambition of the Yan country, obviously there is an alliance with the Wei country, but he switched to the Mu country, and the wolf bèi is a traitor The two countries work together to annex the country, and the current situation is just a division of interests." Fang Guangyuan's source is more accurate than Ji Fengchang's.

"So that's the case, no wonder Mu Jun retreated bravely and retreated into the background." Ji Fengchang thought of more for a while.

At this time, a small servant came to report, saying that there were distinguished guests outside the door, and a group of people were sent, saying that they would pay their respects.

The two old men were wondering, Su Ri made friends who were like-minded and did not participate in foreign affairs, and there was a distinguished guest who appeared, and the two looked at each other and felt inexplicable.

When he opened the post and saw that his face suddenly changed, Fang Guangyuan never imagined that it would be this lord who came to visit, and he was stunned for a while.

"Brother Guangyuan?" When Ji Fengchang saw his friend's face change, he roughly guessed that it was not a good thing.

"Let's see." Fang Guangyuan handed over the post, the corner of his forehead throbbed, and he reached out to press it to try to relieve it.

"This ......" Ji Fengchang was shocked when he saw it, "Wing King, how can it be this lord?" "I have nothing to do with it, and I suddenly came to visit, and I had a premonition that the weasel did not have a good heart to greet the chickens.

"It's also true, the Wing King is a native of Mu Country, why did he suddenly visit the Guardians." The suddenness of the arrival really caught Fang Guangyuan off guard.

"The current coach of Mu Jun is this one." Ji Fengchang once had an understanding of this, "Brother Guangyuan, this must be a bad person!" ”

The main person is in a hesitation, I don't know whether to see or not to see, many thoughts are twisted in my heart, I can't make up my mind for a while, it's too sudden to prepare at all, let alone understand.

The carriage of the Xi Dynasty stopped outside the door for about a cup of tea, and no one came out to open the door to welcome the guests after handing over the prayer post.

"Master, this ......" Do you have to wait, it is clear that he has eaten a closed door, and Ah Jiu is not happy to see his master neglected.

"Bump away." Xi Chao pulled down his face, originally planned to invite him with sincerity, but now he suddenly has no such thoughts, he can't afford to lose this face as a prince of a country, and he won't let the self-proclaimed extraordinary family ride on his head and press himself, so he changed his strategy at the moment, the soft can't come to the hard, and the hard can't only have one way to go.

Xu Mian looked at the Wing King's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and for no reason a spirit had a bad premonition, this was to forcibly break in! (To be continued......)
