"Lao Huang, in fact, we should go and find the King of Xijun, judging from Captain Xue's tone, the entire Xishu is now the final say of the Witch King alone. I don't know if the king of Xijun defected or was persecuted. ”

Yurun said worriedly.

Lao Huang sighed and said, "No matter what the case is, I think the Xijun Palace's mansion must be heavily guarded now, and it must not be so simple to get in." The county lord might as well wait for the general to arrive before making plans, after all, the general was sent by the emperor. It stands to reason that when the general arrived on the territory of the king of Xijun, the king of Xijun should go out of the city to greet him.

Moreover, we still don't know if the witch king will attack the general after knowing about it. At present, it is still the top priority to ensure the smooth entry of the army into Tiandu City. ”

Yurun nodded and said, "Lao Huang, you're right, I almost forgot about the important thing." But in that case, I asked Wang Da and them to go around the Xijun Mansion to keep an eye on.

If the king of Xijun defects, then it is estimated that there will be action to prevent General Murong from entering the city in the next few days; But if King Xijun is imprisoned, then I think he should try his best to send people out to General Murong for help. ”

Lao Huang nodded and said, "Okay, do you need me to send someone to follow?" ”

Yurun shook his head and said, "Although these homeless people say that they have taken refuge in us now, they are still very wary of us. For the sake of today, only if we treat each other with sincerity can we exchange their sincerity. This is their first test. ”

With that, Yurun turned around and walked towards Wang Da's corner again.

"Wang Da, I have a task for you."

Yurun said solemnly.

The people behind Wang Dahe immediately stood up and said, "Whatever is the matter, we will do it immediately." ”

Yurun was quite satisfied with this reaction, and then said: "You guys are going to keep an eye on the Xijun Wangfu these days, if anyone comes in and out, you must follow and write it down." ”

Wang Da patted his chest and said, "It's not difficult, we are already begging in the city, and we won't feel strange wherever we go." But don't you send someone to follow us? What if we leak the news? ”

Yurun smiled: "I believe in you. ”

Wang Daleng paused, completely unexpectedly that Yurun would answer like this.

"Don't worry, we'll send it to you as soon as we have news."

The man behind Wang Da pushed Wang Da Wang Da reacted and hurriedly said.

Yurun nodded and said, "Well, let's go." Be careful not to let people see the flaws. It's okay if you can't keep up, just tell us the general direction. The city is not big, in fact, it is quite easy to guess. ”

"Okay, I got it. You can rest assured. ”

After Wang Da finished speaking with confidence, he took his companion and left.

Near noon, Qing'er and the Great Elder, who were picking herbs on the mountain, were a little exhausted at this time.

Qing'er wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, looked at the baskets full of them, and said, "I'm dying of hunger, let's go back quickly." We can't hold more herbs in our baskets. ”

The Great Elder looked at the rising sun and said, "Let's go, I'm in a hurry to leave, and I didn't bring some dry food, so I'll have to prepare some next time." We missed the meal time all the way back. ”

Qing'er asked in disbelief, "Ah, have we been gone for a long time?" ”

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Yes, we can only pick what we need if we go far." Just what can be mined at the foot of the mountain. Let's go, let's hurry down the mountain. ”

"Okay." Qing'er sighed, picked up the basket and followed the footsteps of the Great Elder to the bottom of the mountain.

"Rustle!"

Suddenly, there was a noise in the grass, and Qing'er looked at it, and it was actually a rabbit.

So he quickly grabbed the stone and threw it into the grass.

After a muffled sound, there was no more movement in the grass.

Qing'er tiptoed over and looked, "Wow, I caught a rabbit!" Great Elder, Great Elder, we missed the meal anyway, so let's just roast the rabbit here and eat it. I'm so hungry. ”

The Great Elder smiled helplessly and said, "I'll deal with it, you go find some dry branches to build a fire." ”

Qing'er happily responded, "Okay, this won't be difficult for me." Thank you, Great Elder, then. ”

With that, Qing'er began to look for branches nearby.

"Kick, kick" The sound of neat footsteps came from far and near, and Qing'er jumped to the tree vigilantly to look, it turned out to be Murong Chenhe leading the team to pass by at this time. What can I do?

The dean just said that he would lead the Great Elder to the mountain, so that he could avoid Yurun and enter the city. But Murong Chenhe's passing by at this time, will it attract the attention of the Great Elder?

Just when Qing'er was worried, the Great Elder's shout came again: "Six Elders, Six Elders!" ”

Alas, no matter what, let it be.

After Qing'er jumped off the tree, she walked back.

"Great Elder, why haven't you gotten this rabbit yet? I picked up all the branches. ”

Qing'er threw the branch to the ground and began to build a fire.

After the Great Elder threw the rabbit to the ground, he said, "Don't get it, I hear footsteps that seem to be marching, let's go over and have a look." ”

Qing'er squatted on the ground with a bitter face and said, "Great Elder, whose footsteps are not as important as feeding your stomach." Besides, we are only here to treat the common people, and those who fight and kill cannot participate. If we let the dean know, I don't know how we will be punished. ”

"It's okay, I'll take care of something, come with me first." The Great Elder urged.

Qing'er thought that she could drag it out for a while, shook her head vigorously, and said, "No, no." If we go rashly and encounter those who are unreasonable, maybe we will not be able to get out. I missed lunch in the first place, and I don't want to miss the evening meal again. ”

The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go back first, and I'll go back when I go and see." ”

After saying that, the Great Elder also ignored Qing'er anymore and ran away quickly.

"Hey! Great Elder! Qing'er stood up and wanted to stop the Great Elder, but there was no trace of the Great Elder.

Qing'er stomped her foot angrily and quickly followed.

"Whew! Great Elder, why are you running so fast. I'm exhausted. Qing'er gasped.

The Great Elder who was hiding in the grass stood up and said, "It turns out that Chen He brought the army over, let's go, I'll give you a barbecue." ”

Hey, the Great Elder's reaction was quite ordinary. Why is the dean always guarding against him? Could it be that the Great Elder really has some ulterior relationship with the people of Xishu? Qing Er looked at the back of the Great Elder leaving, and her heart was full of doubts.

The Great Elder squatted down by the stream and washed the slaughtered rabbits, and then began to build a fire to prepare the roast rabbit meat.

"I said, you are the one who starves to death, and you don't do anything. Later, the rabbit will be roasted, and it will be all mine. ”

The Great Elder said with a smile.

When Qing'er heard this, she hurriedly found two branches, forked the cleaned rabbit on the branch, shook it proudly in front of the great elder, and said, "Look, the rabbit is in my hand. If you want to eat, you'll have to ask me if I'd like to. ”

The Great Elder laughed and said, "The Sixth Elder is a kind and beautiful person, how could the matter of eating alone happen to the Sixth Elder." ”

"Hmph, don't pat me on the back, I just said that I was lazy and you are the Great Elder."

With that, Qing'er sat down on the ground, put the rabbit on the fire and began to roast it.

The Great Elder smiled and did not speak.

Qing'er was a master who couldn't be cold, and then said, "Great Elder, since you saw that it was Murong Chenhe, why didn't you go over and greet him. He's your apprentice. ”

"I heard a lot of footsteps just now, so I'm worried that it's someone else. After all, the entire Xishu is okay in the Tiandu City now, so I want to go and see it, just in case. ”

The Grand Elder explained.

Qing'er smiled and said, "What the Great Elder said makes sense. But do you think Murong Chenhe can do that ambitious witch king when he enters Xishu this time? ”

The Great Elder frowned and said, "It's hard to say, we have been in the Heavenly Capital City for so many days, and we have neither seen the King of Xijun nor the King of Witches. For hundreds of years, there has only been one estimate of this treatment. ”

Qing'er said as she flipped the rabbit meat in her hand and said, "Yes, it stands to reason that we are here to help them get through this difficult time, and they should go out to welcome us." But the Great Elder has just seen him, and he should also go and say hello to your apprentice. ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "No, he's in a hurry, so I'm not going to bother." ”

Qing'er was a little puzzled in her heart, but she didn't speak anymore, because the smell of rabbit meat had already taken away all of Qing'er's attention.

Different from the calm on the mountain, Xishu, the golden palace is splashed with blood.

"Someone! Send out all the Uzbeks and dig three feet into the ground for me to investigate! Who the hell destroyed my orbs! The Witch King roared in a fit of rage.

And the few corpses lying on the ground were the chief of the guard and others who had been sent to the demon forest before.

Wu Yi, who was hidden in the hall, immediately appeared, knelt on the ground and answered: "Yes, the slave will take someone to investigate." ”

"Wait, let's see if the army is almost there?" The Witch King gritted his teeth and ordered.

Wu nodded in response and left.

"Ahh Who the hell is it, who the hell is it! I will want you to live, not die! Yes! ”

The Witch King roared angrily in the hall.

But Murong Chenhe's march with the army was not very fast, mainly to delay time, so that Yurun and them could stabilize in the city first.

When Qing'er and the Great Elder finished eating the rabbit meat and were about to walk to the gate of the city, they found that Murong Chenhe and his army did not enter the city directly, but set up a camp tent a little farther away, apparently to spend the night here before entering the city.

Qing'er pushed the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, look, they are actually going to spend the night outside the city. Why is it so strange, are they always waiting for the King of Xijun and the Witch King to go out of the city to greet them? Shall we go over and ask? ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "No, let's hurry back to the city." If it drags on any longer, it is estimated that the dean should be worried. ”

Qing'er pursed her lips and continued to follow the Great Elder towards the city gate.

"Stop, what are you carrying?" Captain Xue looked at the basket on the backs of Qing'er and the Great Elder with a somewhat greedy gaze.

The Great Elder replied with a smile: "Master Jun, we came back from the mountains to collect herbs, and the basket was full of herbs. If you don't believe me, you can check. ”

As he spoke, the Great Elder secretly stuffed a small piece of broken silver into Captain Xue's hand.

Captain Xue clenched his fists, strode behind Qing'er and the Great Elder, and grabbed a few handfuls in the basket.

"Let's go, let's go. Don't go up the mountain if you have nothing to do in the future, it's not safe outside. ”

Captain Xue waved his hand and said.

The Great Elder nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes." We'll pay attention in the future, thank you, Master Jun. ”

After speaking, the Great Elder took Qing'er into the city gate.

Qing'er frowned and said, "Great Elder, why do you want to stuff him with silver, let's go out and come back with dignity." Why do you cower, I don't know what you're afraid of. ”

The Great Elder smiled and said, "It's better to have more than less, you see that it's not easy for me to pick these herbs." If we anger him and destroy our herbs, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
