"What?"

Hearing this news, Tuoba Hong's face suddenly turned pale, and he stared at Tuoba Ze's face in disbelief, stunned.

The two were silent for a moment, Tuoba Ze sighed deeply, and slowly got up, his eyes as cold as a blade, showing a serious face.

"On the battlefield of Western Qin, there is now a new general called 'General Yi', and leading troops to fight is not at all the routine of those veterans before, which makes us caught off guard by this. This person is young, but he doesn't know where he came from? He is quite proficient in the art of war, and he is brave and good at fighting. With a lot of tricks, we are on guard, but unexpectedly, he can still attack us every time, and he is surprisingly victorious. This alone is already difficult to deal with, and we are already losing ground one after another. Now, if you add that Qin King Xuanyuan Han and the 160,000 army of Western Qin under his command, then I, Beilie, am afraid that I will be in danger......"

Tuoba Hong didn't know that as soon as Tuoba Ze returned to China, he didn't have a moment of respite, and went directly to the battlefield.

Over the years, there have been frequent conflicts on the border between the four countries of the Spiritual Sky, which is not an unusual event. So, he didn't take it to heart. However, when he heard what Tuobazer said at this time, he didn't know that the current situation had become so grim and critical.

At this time, Tuoba Hong, who had always only focused on the study of his own herbs and ignored the affairs outside the window, seemed to be worried and anxious about state affairs for the first time in his life.

"Well, how is this supposed to be? If such a big thing happens, I must hurry up and tell my father! Xiqin, why did Xiqin suddenly go all out to fight against my Beilie? ”

Compared with being flustered, Tuoba Ze stood with his hands behind his back, looking extremely calm and calm.

I saw that his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was falling into a deep contemplation alone.

After pondering for a while, he exhaled a turbid breath, stared at Tuoba Hong's face in a blink of an eye, and said seriously: "Father is now very old, and he has been sick for more than half a year, and he is already too busy to take care of himself, and you know better than anyone else in your heart, he is afraid that time is running out." It's better not to let people mention this news in my father's ears for the time being, he can't withstand any storms anymore. Looking at Xi Qin's posture this time, I am afraid that it is not just to swallow my Beilie country. After all these years, they... Finally decided to start working on this continent. ”

Listening to Tuoba Ze's words, Tuoba Hong suddenly felt full of grief in his heart, "Yes, my father's horse has been fighting all his life, but he will never be able to fight again." ”

As soon as he thought of this, he stared at the ground for a long time, and suddenly asked in a low voice of puzzlement: "But, didn't the imperial brother say that before the world has determined whether the descendants of the guardians of Western Qin are alive or dead, the four kingdoms of the Spiritual Sky will not act rashly and act against each other?" Why did Xiqin ......?"

As he was talking, he saw Tuobazer take out an envelope and hand it to him, and while he reached out to take it, he asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Tuoba Hong then took out a piece of rice paper inside and unfolded it to take a look, and was immediately stunned by the lifelike young and beautiful portrait of a woman who had been copied on it, and asked in a stunned manner at the portrait: "This woman... She... She was? ”

Tuoba Ze replied faintly: "This is the portrait of the guardian of Western Qin handed over to me by Princess Qin before I returned to China, the pillow person of King Qin of Western Qin!" ”

"What? This... Is this really the rumored guardian of Western Qin? Tuoba Hong glanced at Tuoba Ze in surprise when he heard this, and then went back again to take a closer look at it.

In addition to medicinal herbs, he has always liked to learn writing and ink, and he has a soft spot for calligraphy and painting.

Soon, he picked it up from his memory and connected it with the muttering of the nightmare on the cloud.

And just as he was pondering and hesitating, a guard hurried in.

The guard saluted respectfully to the two of them and stood aside, as if he wanted to have something to say, but after quietly glancing at Tuoba Hong, he endured it again and did not say anything.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Tuoba Ze ordered him in a low voice: "Say anything about it!" ”

"Yes," the guard said, "That's right." A few days ago, the Great Prince asked the people who stayed in the Western Qin Kingdom to continue to explore the whereabouts of the Guardian just came with the news that King Xuanyuan Han of Qin... All efforts to find the whereabouts of the Guardian have been stopped! ”

"'The search for the whereabouts of the Guardian has been stopped'... Why is that? Tuobazer was startled and asked in a cold voice.

The guard replied: "There are different opinions about his actions now. Some say it's because he may have secretly found the Guardian and wanted to swallow this powerful mysterious power for himself; Some people also say that he did it deliberately with ill intentions, in order to ascend to the throne, he didn't want Emperor Jing to be protected by the power of the guardian, so he disobeyed his orders; But it is very likely that because of the impact of the war with our country, I will not have time to take care of ......."

"Secretly found?" Obviously, Tuoba Ze still seems to be more interested in this point after all.

The guard meditated for a while, looked up and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the clothes on the bed, and suddenly remembered something, feeling a little strange, and said: "By the way, some time ago, when I was still in the Sihai Tea House in Xiqin." His subordinates had heard someone talking on the street, saying that it was the descendant of the guardian of Western Qin, and it was the medicine girl that the Qin Wangfu had offered a reward for the entire spiritual space. Otherwise, how could King Qin be willing to spend such a large amount of money just to find a little medicine girl? ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Hong, who had been silently pondering on the side, suddenly came to his senses and looked nervously at the face of the clouds on the clothes.

At the same time, Tuoba Ze also hurriedly glanced at her, and then quickly turned around, laughed coldly at her, and said contemptuously: "Those lonely and unheard fools in the Western Qin Kingdom are obviously talking nonsense. She was a far cry from the noble Guardian, very different, without any comparison. The descendants of the guardians are as beautiful as fairies, and she ...... Hum. ”

Suddenly, he asked Tuoba Hong beside him: "Brother Huang, what do you think about this?" ”

At this time, Tuoba Hong, who was in the midst of his incredible contemplation, suddenly came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment, and then deliberately echoed: "Brother Huang is very right, this rumor is not related to the wind and horses at all, how can Wu Le be the descendant of the mysterious guardian of Western Qin?" ”

Tuobazer smiled and nodded with a smile as if satisfied with his answer, but when he came back to his senses, he became worried about the current situation: "But then again, we have sent so many people to search in the spiritual sky for so long. Could it be that the descendants of the guardian have really been secretly found and possessed by the Qin King Xuanyuan Han? In this way, wouldn't the Western Qin army be invincible and unstoppable? Then don't I really want to ...... Beilie?"

As he was saying to himself, Tuoba Hong hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt him: "The big war is coming, the imperial brother must not mess with himself." After so many years, there is no news of the guardian in the world, and presumably the descendants of the guardian may not really be alive. Even if she is lucky enough to be alive, it may not be as magical as the legend says. Such a gentle and dignified woman, does she really have three heads and six arms? Or can you sprinkle beans into soldiers and gallop on the battlefield? Legends are inevitably always distorted and deliberately exaggerated. ”

After finishing speaking, seeing Tuoba Ze bowing slightly, he finally let go of his frowning brows, and Tuoba Hong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the guard next to him suddenly spoke again: "The two princes don't know anything, and those people who listen to these words under their subordinates say that this is not groundless......

As soon as he spoke, he was scolded by Tuoba Hong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "Shut up! Don't continue to talk about these nonsense to disturb the morale of the army! ”

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Tuoba Ze also opened his mouth, but he stopped Tuoba Hong.

"Hey, Brother Huang, you let him finish his words first! There is a saying that 'the real can't be fake, the fake can't be true'. I'm quite interested in these folk rumors of the Western Qin Kingdom. Thinking about it at the beginning, we didn't even know what the mysterious power that existed in Xiqin was, and then it was not the scattered news collected by the people everywhere, and finally under the prompting of the girl, I finally understood that the mysterious power was actually a woman. At most, even if it's just gossip, it doesn't hurt. ”

No matter what Tuoba Ze said, for some reason, Tuoba Hong was always anxious and nervous to end this conversation quickly: "No, Brother Huang, this ......"

Tuoba Ze finally interrupted it with a smile: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." As he spoke, he nodded to the guards who were at a loss.

At this time, the guard timidly opened his mouth again: "Those who said this said that this medical woman who was favored by the Qin Wangfu was absolutely extraordinary. She is a woman who is protected by the divine power of the phoenix, and in this life she must be a person who saves the suffering and rescues the needy, and is rich and noble......"

As soon as he said a few words, Tuoba Ze became interested and asked, "Phoenix divine power?" ”

The guard nodded and said, "It is said that this medical girl was originally an ugly girl from the waste wood of a pharmacist's family in the west of the city. But for some reason, he was in a coma in the mansion for a year, and then on the night he woke up, in the middle of the backyard of the Yifu, a scorching light like a colorful phoenix phantom fell from the sky, and finally fell into the attic of Miss Yi. And this eldest lady has changed her temperament greatly after waking up. So people say that ... said that the real lady of Yifu had actually died a long time ago, and the current eldest lady was possessed by the colorful phoenix. ”

"Is there really such a strange thing in the world?" Tuobaza was already stunned by this.

Tuoba Hong also clenched his fists, clenched his teeth and held back, glaring angrily at the guard, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

The guards didn't dare to look at his face at all, and after thinking for a while, they said, "This matter has almost spread all over the streets and alleys of the Western Qin Imperial City now. The subordinates also heard from a crazy beggar that the guardian was born with a phoenix mark on his shoulder, which was a symbol of the protection of the phoenix's divine power and a symbol of the guardian's identity. ”

Hearing this, Tuobaze's eyes suddenly looked in the direction of Yi Shangyun, and he strode towards his bedside......
