The strategy of delaying the army should be to retreat as advance.

After making up his mind, he saluted mercilessly and respectfully, and said with a smile: "What did Your Highness say, how could I not welcome Your Highness." And that magic bead, Your Highness also knows that it will take six months to do it, and now that it has only been two months, how can I have the ability to absorb its energy before the demonic nature dissipates. ”

Xuanyuan Xiao patted his head and said: "I actually forgot about this stubble, I misunderstood the Witch King, and I still hope that the Witch King Haihan, Haihan, hahaha." ”

Ruthless felt a tremor in his heart, this Xuanyuan Xiao shouldn't have taken the wrong medicine, right? Why did you suddenly become so polite? What kind of medicine is in this gourd?

"Your Highness, you are too polite, if you like this Xishu, I will still give Your Highness the best fief as before."

Asked ruthlessly.

Of course, Xuanyuan Xiao knew what the idea of ruthlessly fighting, but now that the stronghold in the capital has been broken and everyone who can use it has been arrested, there should be a new place to recruit troops again.

So, Xuanyuan Xiao nodded and said, "The Witch King's idea is very good, then it will be arranged by the Witch King." ”

Ruthlessly shocked and almost bit off his tongue, it is really a pot that can't be opened, it turns out that people are waiting for themselves to say this!

Alas!

"It's great that His Highness has this intention, and it is a blessing for us to have His Highness's blessing. I'll arrange a mansion for you in our Tiandu first, and when I arrange the affairs of the fiefdom, you can move in. ”

Ruthlessly stiffened with a look of surprise and impatience.

Xuanyuan Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "When I go to the fiefdom, don't close the mansion of the capital that day, I will often come to see the Witch King." ”

Gritting his teeth ruthlessly, he said in pain: "Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured." It will be properly arranged. ”

Xuanyuan Xiao, who was sitting at the top, was very satisfied with this result, and casually took out a jade bottle from his cuff and threw it to Ruthless.

"Although it will take a few months for that magic bead to absorb its energy, the elixir in this jade bottle can also relieve the pain caused by the heavenly punishment."

Xuanyuan Xiao walked up to Ruthless, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

Ruthless's eyes lit up, compared to the pain he suffered every day, these fiefdom mansions were nothing.

"Thank you, Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely repay Your Highness."

Ruthless hurriedly bowed down and thanked.

"Okay, just remember your words today."

As soon as the words fell, there was no Xuanyuan Xiao in the hall.

Ruthless hurriedly opened the jade bottle, and a fresh medicinal fragrance came to his nose, and Ruthless instantly felt a little relieved.

Immediately took out one and put it in his mouth, the pill melted in his mouth, infiltrating the limbs and bones, and all the pain caused by the heavenly punishment disappeared without a trace.

Ruthlessly happy and sad at the same time, this elixir is good, but it can't completely eradicate his pain, if the magic bead is useless, I'm afraid that I will have to rely on this Xuanyuan Xiao for the rest of my life!

In that case, it's a game of stealth!

Thinking of this, Ruthless hurriedly called the chief of the guard and asked, "How is the fresh virgin essence blood prepared?" ”

The head of the guard nodded and said, "I'm almost ready, and I can leave in two days." ”

Ruthlessly satisfied, he said: "Very good, hurry up, the sooner you go, the better." When you go in the past, you can go to a hidden point, so don't let people find out. ”

The chief guard nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”

Xuanyuan Xiao, who walked out of the palace, did not plan to go to the mansion immediately, but wandered around the street.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Xuanyuan Xiao hasn't gone far yet, but he saw a long tent on the street, where a few young doctors came in and out, and several older men sat outside who seemed to be discussing something.

Xuanyuan Xiao was puzzled in his heart, so he took a closer look, and one of these older men was very familiar with, and that was Shangguan Si Nan.

My former master!

At that time, King Xuanyuan was busy with the society of the country, and he had no time to teach his son Xuanyuan Xiao, and the person who was qualified to teach Xuanyuan Xiao must be the most respected and powerful person in Kyushu.

King Xuanyuan naturally thought of Ouyang Kun, the dean of Lingshan Academy, the most prestigious in Kyushu at that time, but Ouyang Kun refused King Xuanyuan's invitation on the grounds that the academy was busy with affairs and could not leave.

But he immediately recommended his apprentice, and asked the most outstanding students of Lingshan Academy at that time to sue Si Nan to be Xuanyuan Xiao's master, saying that they had a master-apprentice relationship.

Of course, King Xuanyuan believes in Ouyang Kun very much, because Ouyang Kun can not only calculate the past, but also predict the future, which is well known in Kyushu.

So in this way, Shangguan Si Nan became Xuanyuan Xiao's master, and Xuanyuan Xiao studied in Lingshan Academy for a long time.

It can be said that Xuanyuan Xiao is the first apprentice of Shangguan Si Nan, and he is also entrusted by his master Ouyang Kun, so Shangguan Si Nan really taught Xuanyuan Xiao very carefully, and the relationship between the master and apprentice is also increasing day by day.

But the bad thing is that later, the impregnable mountain of the Xuanyuan Dynasty was dismantled!

Xuanyuan Xiao begged his master to go out of the mountain to help the Xuanyuan clan tide over the difficulties, but Si Nan only said one sentence to the lawsuit:

Time, fate, and luck are beyond my reach.

And he went into retreat.

Xuanyuan Xiao, who had no way to ask for help, rushed back to the Xuanyuan clan alone with hatred, and never met Nanxiang again.

And the fact that Xuanyuan Xiao is the apprentice of Si Nan in the lawsuit has not been mentioned again, as if no one has ever come to Lingshan Academy.

Maybe it's the arrangement of fate, the young man of the year is now a white-haired old man, and Si Nan never dreamed that he would meet his apprentice in Xishu.

"You continue to discuss, I have to leave beforehand." The lawsuit Si Nan said and left.

In a fairly clean teahouse in the alley next door, Shangguan Si Nan ordered a pot of good tea and sat opposite Xuanyuan Xiao.

Xuanyuan Xiao has been silent, and Si Nan sighed secretly in his heart and asked, "Ah Xiao, how have you been doing all these years?" ”

"Ahh Do you think you deserve to call me Ah Xiao? Xuanyuan Xiao asked expressionlessly.

Shangguan Sinan explained: "Ah Xiao, you should know that since the establishment of our Lingshan Academy, we have not asked questions or interfered in the affairs of the court, and it is only related to the suffering of the people. ”

"But you are my master, I don't even have a home, and I don't have the luxury of asking the dean to use the power of the academy to help my Xuanyuan clan get through the difficulties. I just wanted my most respected Master to come out and help me. Xuanyuan Xiao said excitedly.

Shangguan Si Nan said helplessly: "The master's fate is difficult to disobey, the master calculates that your Xuanyuan clan is in a catastrophe, and I am ordered not to go out of the academy for half a step." ”

Xuanyuan Xiao got up and said, "After all, you are still for the position of the dean of Lingshan Academy. ”

"No, it's not. Actually......"

The lawsuit Si Nan wanted to chase out and explain, but there was still the shadow of Xuanyuan Xiao.

On the way back, the heart of the lawsuit was desolate.

In this life, Sinan accepted two apprentices, if Xiao Yuelan is his most proud apprentice, then Xuanyuan Xiao is his favorite apprentice.

At that time, Sinan was still a young talent, and Xuanyuan Xiao was young and intelligent, which was an experience of the two learning and making progress together. The two have been together for a long time.

Needless to say, the depth of the affection is self-evident.

Maybe there is really telepathy between master and apprentice.

Yurun, who was hurrying on the road, suddenly stopped, which surprised Zhao Linger and Jiang Peipei.

Zhao Ling'er shook her hand in front of Yurun and asked, "Run'er, why did you stop in a daze?" Is something happening? ”

Yurun frowned and said, "It's okay, I always feel that this journey is too slow." Master should be in a hurry? ”

"Elder Li? Probably not, there are quite a few disciples in your medical school. Jiang Peipei said beside him.

Zhao Ling'er nodded, and then said: "Besides, you won't stop just worrying about this, is there really no problem?" ”

Of course, the master that Yurun said was not Elder Li, but Si Nan, but how could she say all this.

Feeling the strangeness here, Murong Chenhe walked over after handing over the team to Wu Yi.

"County Lord, is this what happened? Could it be that something is going on ahead? But before leaving, the cheetah said that it would not encounter any more danger for the time being. ”

Murong Chenhe asked suspiciously.

Yurun sighed and said, "It's okay, I just miss Master, I don't know if they have arrived in Xishu or not, and if they are in danger." Sorry for worrying you. ”

"Are you sure it's okay?" Murong Chenhe asked again.

Yurun nodded, pulled a smile at everyone, and said, "It's really fine, it's just that I've been walking for too long, and I don't know how long I will have to go." I'm in a hurry. ”

Murong Chenhe nodded and said, "That's good, if you feel tired, we can rest in place for a while before setting off." ”

Yurun hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I'm not tired." Let's go. ”

With that, Yurun walked back to the team alone, and Murong Chenhe and the others, who were left behind, looked at Yurun's back with a faint worry in their hearts.

Because cheetah's sense of smell is very sensitive, for the sake of everyone's safety, Jiang Peipei did not recall the cheetah.

"Yurun, actually, I'm not telling the truth." The cheetah stepped forward and whispered.

Yurun rode onto the cheetah's back, leaned on the cheetah's ear as he pretended to be very tired, and asked softly, "What are you hiding?" ”

"In fact, along this road, we will soon be able to reach Xishu." Cheetah said cautiously.

Yurun gently pinched the cheetah's ears and asked, "Then why don't you say it?" Don't you see that everyone is tired? I can't eat or sleep well all the way. You should say it to make everyone happy. Maybe the army will move much faster. ”

Cheetah hesitated again and again, and said: "Actually, I didn't mean not to say it, I smelled a smell of blood when I came back, so I followed the smell and took a look, it turned out that someone was pushing a car to the demon forest." The two large barrels in that cart should have been filled with fresh blood. I just thought about it, so I forgot to talk about it. ”

Yurun patted the cheetah's head and said, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time, I must say it all next time." Otherwise, I will let the baby guide you well. ”

The cheetah shuddered, and immediately responded: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell the matter first next time." ”

Yurun straightened up, jumped off the cheetah's body, and said, "Follow well at the end and be alert." Roar at any of the wind and we'll rush at once. ”

"Don't worry." With that, the cheetah ran to the back of the group.

At the same time, Yurun also turned around and walked in the other direction.

Murong Chenhe, who was walking in the front, saw Yurun coming, and was alert in his heart, and immediately pulled Yurun to the side.

"County Lord, is something happening?"

Murong Chenhe asked nervously.

Yurun nodded and said, "I'm afraid we're going to get to Xishu soon, because the cheetah told me that someone went to the demon forest with blood." We must rush to Xishu before the Witch King gets the news. ”
