Chapter 98: Chief Guest Elder
The Yuzhou training camp, ten miles away, is composed of more than 2,000 officers and private soldiers, and they are encamped here.
But two days have passed, and there is no news of Xiao Tianhao's killing, and Pi Zhendong is a little uneasy.
According to his original idea, even if someone sympathizes with the surname Xiao, it will still be impossible to escape death. And his grandson Xiao Chen either watched his grandfather die, or died with his grandfather very righteously.
Of course, dying together is a great joy for all, and Pi Zhendong no longer has to worry about the resurgence of the Xiao family. If Xiao Chen hadn't died, then he would have started spreading rumors everywhere, saying that Xiao Chen watched Xiao Tianhao being killed but was indifferent, and he was not worthy of being a child of the Xiao family.
In this way, Xiao Chen's reputation will stink, which sect would want such a person? When he walks out of the training camp in disgrace, it will be his death.
Shanggaohou came back panting on his horse and said, "Xiao Tianhao is really not dead, and he has also lived in the room next to the camp master, and he is strictly protected. ”
"How so?" Pi Zhendong was taken aback: "Are you sure the news is correct?"
Shanggaohou raised three fingers and said, "Spend 300 yuan to buy a teaching assistant, the news will definitely not be wrong, Xiao Tianhao not only did not die, but also became a guest." ”
The Marquis of Tanglin said angrily: "Pi Hou, should we rush in and kill that old man?"
"You pig brains, impact the training camp?" Pi Zhendong slapped him and scolded: "Just with us people, before we see the surname Xiao, we have all been wiped out." I don't understand one thing, he had already shown the holy decree to the camp master that day, how dare he openly disobey the holy order and not want to live?"
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of people dressed in dark clothes rushed towards this side.
Shanggaohou squinted his eyes and observed for a while, and said: "It's a person from the sect, looking at the dress, it should be a big person in Lingxiao Pavilion, and a disciple with an ordinary identity won't dress so stylishly." ”
Pi Zhendong was happy: "It should be the high-level of Lingxiao Pavilion who came to patrol the camp, it's really good, let's go and complain." If it was really the camp owner who protected Xiao Tianhao, he would have to walk around without eating. ”
A few fellows rushed up to meet each other, and as a sign of respect for each other, none of them rode horses.
"Who is blocking the way, do you know that we are from the Celestial Pavilion?" said the knight at the front.
"In Xia Nanpi Hou, this is the Tanglin Marquis and the Shanggao Marquis, we have something to report to your faction. Pi Zhendong said as quickly as possible: "We pursued a court invasion, hid in the training camp, and contacted the camp owner ......."
"You're talking about Xiao Tianhao, the god of war, right?" asked an elderly knight.
Pi Zhendong hurriedly nodded and said: "That's right, it's Xiao Tianhao, he is a prisoner of Chaotianqin, and we are ...... according to the emperor's order."
"Don't say it. The old knight interrupted him, and said, "There are people stationed there, and you brought them all here, right? ”
Pi Zhendong was anxious: "Why is it not our business, we were ordered to arrest Xiao Tianhao, do you want to protect him?"
"Bold!" the young knight before him whipped his horsewhip.
Pi Zhendong didn't have time to dodge at all, he was whipped in the face and fell directly to the ground.
The young knight snorted: "This is the pavilion master of our Lingxiao Pavilion, the right national master of our Great Chu Dynasty, the emperor has to give three points of face when he sees it, what kind of thing are you, you dare to refute his words!"
With that, he raised his whip again.
The old knight waved his hand: "Those who don't know are not guilty, forget it, let's go, we have wasted a lot of time." ”
When a few guys heard that it was the pavilion master of Lingxiao Pavilion, they were immediately frightened, and quickly subconsciously got out of the way, and the horse team continued to move forward.
Pi Zhendong was whipped, his face was hot and painful, and when he got up from the ground, he looked terrible.
Shanggaohou cautiously asked, "Pihou, what should we do?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you hear the order from others, close the team! That's the right national teacher, can we afford to provoke it?"
"Don't we have a decree in our hands?"
"The saint is in front of the national teacher, it's a fart, the national teacher doesn't nod, and the emperor doesn't recruit him, so hurry up and take everyone away, so as not to suffer again. ”
In this way, a group of people came arrogantly and slipped away.
The horse team entered the training camp directly without making any stops, and the camp owner was personally responsible for guiding the way and bringing everyone to Xiao Tianhao's residence.
In the past two days, it has been delicious and delicious, and the healing medicine and soul grass are enough, the old marquis and the old housekeeper have recovered well, and their injuries have been healed sixty percent.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and he noticed that there were more people on guard outside.
The old marquis smiled slightly, and said to himself: "It seems that there is a big man coming, and Chen'er has no last resort, everything is expected by him." ”
Xiao Chen once said that within two days, there will be a big man to visit, and he will give Xiao Tianhao heavy benefits and offer all kinds of lucrative conditions.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and everyone dismounted and came to this small courtyard under the leadership of the camp master.
"Senior Xiao, let me introduce you. The camp master pointed to the old man next to him with a respectful expression and said, "This is the pavilion master of our Lingxiao Pavilion, and I will visit you in person." ”
The old man hugged his fists: "Marshal Xiao, the god of war, the wise general, the old man is bullying the sky, and he is polite." ”
Xiao Tianhao's heart beat faster, and the pavilion master went out directly, and he really paid enough attention to it, this bully Tian was in the position of the national teacher, and he was really above 10,000 people under one person.
We are also people who have seen the world, and the old marquis also hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "The national teacher has arrived, and he has lost his welcome." ”
If it were someone else, he would have knelt directly on the ground, or he would have been frightened and overwhelmed like the Marquis of Tanglin, Xiao Tianhao could show neither humility nor arrogance, and this bearing made the other party deeply impressed.
The camp owner suggested on the side: "Two, it's windy outside, why don't you go inside and talk." ”
Everyone went into the house together, sat down as guests of honor, and more people stayed outside the door, and a sound barrier was put up.
After a few pleasantries, Ling Batian got straight to the point: "Marshal Xiao, I heard that your research on soul bones has achieved certain results, right?"
Xiao Tianhao didn't buy Guan Zi either, nodded and said: "That's right, up to now, I have figured out a few soul bones, they come from beasts, they can meet the ability to be refined by soul soldiers, and after refining, they will bring great benefits to soul soldiers." ”
The camp owner had already briefly written the matter into a letter and told Ling Batian.
Ling Batian said with great interest: "Brother Xiao, how did you find the soul bone in the beast bones?"
The old marquis smiled: "It was a very accidental thing, once again my grandson went hunting in the woods, and hunted a green wolf, he wanted to skin it to make a waist guard for me, because he had no experience in skinning, he brought the green wolf back whole." After peeling off the skin, he distributed the meat to the people in the palace to taste, and in the process, he accidentally discovered the existence of the soul bone. ”
"Ling Sun is also training here, right?" Ling Batian glanced at the camp leader.
The camp master understood, bowed down and said: "Qiyu Pavilion Master, Xiao Chen, the grandson of Senior Xiao, is a very accomplished student in cultivation, not only is he talented, he has been promoted several times in a short period of time, and he has defeated powerful opponents many times, ranking very high. His subordinates have already asked people to call him, and he will be here in a moment. ”
Ling Batian nodded, changed his words, and said to Xiao Tianhao: "Brother Xiao, I want to ask you to serve as the chief guest elder of Lingxiao Pavilion, I don't know what you think?"
