Chapter Eighty-Six: Calculation

"Yes, very good! It's rare that my son understands the righteousness and is right. Yan Jiuyang saw that Yan Xi was going to pour wine for Xiao Yuan in person, so he smiled and nodded. There was a look of joy on his face, and he looked extremely sincere, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Thank you, father!" Yan Xi smiled and saluted Yan Jiuyang, and then slowly walked towards Xiao Yuan, beside her, a little eunuch respectfully held a jade plate, on which were placed a glazed dragon spout pot and two glazed jade cups.

Coming to Xiao Yuan, Yan Xi's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yuan, in front of so many civil and military ministers and relatives of the emperor, she did not shy away from looking at Xiao Yuan's eyes.

The little eunuch on the side was very sensible and filled the jade cup with wine and handed it to Yan Xi, who personally borrowed the jade cup, and then handed one of the jade cups to Xiao Yuan.

"General Xiao, this expedition is extremely dangerous, I hope you can save the day and return safely!" Yan Xi looked at Xiao Yuan with dark eyes, and only said such a sentence lightly, but it was such a sentence, which had already expressed everything she wanted to say in her heart.

Xiao Yuan also understood in his heart that Yan Xi had a lot to say in her heart, but just such a sentence could express everything in her heart, so Xiao Yuan didn't have too many words and took Yan Xi's wine glass.

"Come, let's see General Xiao off together, do it!" At this time, Yan Jiuyang said in a loud voice.

"See off General Xiao, do it!" The ministers of civil and military affairs present and the relatives of the emperor all raised their wine glasses and drank them.

Xiao Yuan looked at Yanxi silently, and then the two of them looked at each other and slowly drank the wine.

"The last general will leave!" As soon as the wine was finished, Xiao Yuan turned around and saluted Yan Jiuyang again.

"Aiqing take care! May Aiqing return triumphantly as soon as possible. Yan Jiuyang said in a high manner.

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything more, glanced at Yan Xi again, and turned around and walked towards his horse.

Looking at Xiao Yuan's back gradually moving away, mist appeared in Yanxi's eyes unconsciously

"Brother, Xi'er is waiting for you!" she whispered softly, her voice was so small that it didn't even seem like she hadn't said anything.

Yan Xi's words could not be heard by anyone at such a noisy city gate, but Xiao Yuan, who was walking towards the horse, paused, but did not look back, and still walked forward.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yuan's lead and galloped away, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.

The second prince Yan Tong had a strong resentment in his eyes, the eldest prince had killing intent in his eyes, and the fifth prince still had that kind smile and couldn't see what he was thinking.

Only a trace of worry appeared on Yan Xi's face, especially when he saw the figure on the horse disappear at the end of the earth, the worry in his eyes was even stronger.

"Brother, I hope you can come back soon!" Yan Xi sighed heavily in his heart.

The news of the Pingxi army's expedition quickly spread throughout the imperial city, in the newly promoted Hou Mansion, Lin Lie was dressed in white, standing quietly in the back garden, he was now a Hou Ye, he was qualified to participate in the send-off, but because of his grievances with Xiao Yuan, he did not go, and Yan Jiuyang did not invite him.

"Master Hou, Xiao Yuan has already left the Imperial City, what should we do? It's hard for us to start in the middle of the army!" At this time, a dark shadow emitting black smoke stood behind Lin Lie, his dark body kept squirming, and his voice was also with cold killing intent.

"It's okay, although we can't do anything about him, naturally there will be someone to help us find trouble for him!

"Hou Ye rest assured, little Hou Ye has already recovered his original strength, and it won't be long before he can break through the Martial King Realm and reach the Martial Sect Realm!" said the shadow.

"Martial Sect?" Hearing this word, Lin Lie's face did not show any joy, the one who was able to reach the Martial Sect realm at the age of twenty was definitely a superb genius, but because of Xiao Yuan's appearance, this genius did not appear dazzling at all, but dim.

"Hou Ye doesn't have to worry too much, the potential of the little Hou Ye has not been fully released, as long as he teaches more, there will definitely be higher achievements, at least, it is not impossible to reach the martial master!" Although Lin Lie's words seemed flat, the shadow still heard his worries.

"I hope so!" Lin Lie just said lightly, and then turned his head to look southwest.

Zhao Ji, don't let me down, at least the second prince doesn't want you to miss out

It is a full 3,000 miles from Phoenix City to the Dragon and Tiger Country, even if Xiao Yuan's army is marching non-stop, it can walk at most 200 miles a day, and it will take more than half a month to reach the Dragon and Tiger Country.

A full 10,000 people, eating and drinking is a big problem, although the grain and grass are enough, but Xiao Yuan doesn't want to make any mistakes, because the road is really a little far, fortunately, the news from the front line just now, Zhao Ji's army has already held the border pass, and now he is only waiting for Xiao Yuan's army to arrive, and he can attack the Dragon and Tiger Country.

And Zhao Ji ordered Xiao Yuan to arrive within half a month, although it was completely possible to hurry up, but this really made Xiao Yuan a little unhappy, so he deliberately slowed down the speed of the hurry, after all, Yan Jiuyang has a holy decree there, as long as he can arrive within a month, it will not be considered disobedience.

On this expedition, Xiao Yuan brought all the forces with him, the Saddle Clan, the Southern Barbarian Clan, the four of Chu Li, and the four people who joined Lou Xiaoyue, and even Xiao Lin was brought out, although Xiao Lin only had the martial arts realm now, Xiao Yuan felt that it was time to take him out to see the world and increase his courage.

As for his general's mansion, it is completely taken care of by Princess Yanxi.

Although Xiao Lin's strength is low, under such a rapid march, he has persisted for half a month without complaining bitterly, which shows his resolute character.

After almost ten days of marching, the Pingxi army finally crossed the canyon of the Luoyan Mountains, which was the traffic throat of Fengyan Country and Dragon Tiger Country, and it was the only way to pass.

Now, the entire army has completely passed through this canyon, and it only needs to travel hundreds of miles ahead to reach the border of the Dragon and Tiger Country.

Approaching the Dragon and Tiger Country, Xiao Yuan's heart fell silent, thinking carefully about how to deal with Zhao Ji and the Dragon Tiger Kingdom, although Zhao Ji and he were loyal to Yan Jiuyang, but he knew that Zhao Ji would not take himself in his eyes, and was more likely to use this expedition to get rid of himself.

There are less than two days to reach the Dragon and Tiger Country, according to Yan Jiuyang's meaning, it is for Xiao Yuan to cooperate with Zhao Ji to attack the Dragon and Tiger Country, and Xiao Yuan's main goal is to eliminate the 10,000 blood Tibetan mastiffs in the Dragon and Tiger Country.

This army also has 10,000 people, and each person has a second-level demon beast under his seat, the Blood Tibetan Mastiff, which is a demon dog about the size of a cow, with sharp teeth, four powerful, rough skin and thick flesh.

The ordinary army is simply no match for this army, and this is also Yan Jiuyang's idea, so that the Pingxi army can face this army, which can greatly reduce the soldiers in the Pingxi army, that is, the manpower of the power sect.
