The cold wind was blowing strongly, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the attack was rushed to deal with it, and there was a chaotic scene of people turning over on their backs in the tents of the military camp.

The attack was not large, and there were some generals in the battalion who could calmly dispatch personnel, and the fire finally gradually became smaller, and they thought in fear that fortunately, there were not many strange French soldiers attacking, otherwise the army might be wiped out.

The ashes of the incineration were covered with gray smoke that obscured the light of the rising sun.

Hu Xianxian didn't answer Zacuo, nor did he leave, his eyebrows tilted upwards and looked at him coldly.

The attack was defeated, mainly the camp tents and sundries were burned, and a small number of the soldiers were burned and scalded, and the loss was not large, but the frustration in Zacuo's heart was very strong.

Zacuo thought that Hu Xianxian would hide far away because of the words of laying down the border city to congratulate Hu Xianxian on his birthday, but now she not only did not hide, but also went into battle to kill the enemy in person; Not only did he go into battle to kill the enemy, but he also suddenly attacked before the official start of the war, which made Zha Cuo feel like he was slapped twice with a smiling face as a gift.

The two hovered in the air and looked at each other for a long time, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the soldiers who were busy looked up curiously, will these two people fight upside down or will they shake hands and make peace?

The two of them saw too many complicated emotions in each other's eyes, and finally they both returned to indifference.

Zacuo said coldly: "What have I repeatedly shown favor for, don't you understand my good intentions? You're not the type I like, but destiny is hard to change, so why get along so awkwardly? If you repeatedly disobey the will of Heaven, you will bring countless calamities! ”

And use the will of heaven to oppress people? Hu Xianxian sneered and said nothing, gently raised the red snow to Zha Cuo, raised the corners of his lips, and turned to leave.

Back in the barracks, Mataha and Zheng Tianba greeted them with a happy smile.

"Xianxian, you have been running all the way, and you haven't had a good rest after you came, taking advantage of the fact that the army has just been defeated, and General Fan has not yet come, can you go with me to Ning Cui Yuan to rest?" Mataha warmly invited.

After Cheng Haofeng and the others left, they were handed over to Zhuo Wuao to manage Ning Cuiyuan, and this time Zhuo Wuao also returned to Beijing, so he was handed over to Mai Taha to manage.

The merchants in the city have withdrawn, and the trade routes are no longer open, and it is better to live in the suburbs than to live in the city, because at least there are ready-made rice, grains, vegetables and vegetables.

Hu Xianxian really needed to take a break, gather aura, organize his thoughts, and follow Metaha to Ningcui Garden with Tang Cai'er.

When she first arrived in Ning Cui Garden, Hu Xianxian only thought back to the past scenes that happened here and didn't notice any changes, and when the toad Jinglai was kind enough to let people serve tea and water, and greeted Hu Xianxian and them, she felt that something was wrong.

"I'll leave it to you to manage Ning Cui Yuan, why do you still keep him? What if you can't control him? Hu Xianxian asked Mataha.

Although Master Lai's skills are not high, he is also a monster who has become a spirit for thousands of years, and Mataha is just an ordinary person, and Zhuo Wuao should take Master Lai away when they leave.

"The national teacher sent a letter to Zhuo Gongzi, saying that it was useful to keep Master Lai as the apparent master of Ning Cui Yuan, and there was a way to restrain him, so that he would not dare to harm ordinary people."

After listening to this explanation, Hu Xian Xian smelled a strange breath, there should be a formation to suppress demon cultivation in this Ning Cui Garden, and it seems that there are other arrangements.

Seeing Hu Xianxian frowning and thinking about things, Metaha smiled helplessly: "Many things have been arranged in advance, as for how to use it, he said that you are so smart, you will know." ”

Hu Xianxian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he complained in his heart: Will you know? What if I knew how to use those arrangements appropriately? Can't you just come and help me?

After complaining, I was shocked to realize that I had no personal relationship with Cheng Haofeng, or I took the initiative to separate, what qualifications did I have to complain?

Hu Xianxian's expression changed a few times, and Metaha's expression also changed a few times, but they thought differently, and Gao Youde, who was on the side, thought about what they thought and persuaded him.

Gao Youde looked at Metaha and then at Hu Xianxian, sighed twice and said: "Our young master has the best heart, he honestly explains everything clearly, and does not say that the credit of others is his own, never works against the national teacher, and helps each other everywhere, and his own property is thrown away first and not taken care of...... The old man said that if the young master had put all his mind on doing business, he would have been rich enough to rival the country. ”

Although he is a rival in love, Mataha has never slandered the process of Haofeng, and there are various things such as improving the flying immortals outside the sky, and Ning Cuiyuan doing various things that he can say is his credit, and he did not do that, which shows that he is not a merchant who can only make profits, but can be called a giant in the world.

"In troubled times, the business is uneasy, and no matter how much money you make, it will soon be gone, and it is easy to cause disaster. Have you forgotten that the Mai caravan was looted by sand bandits? Maitahagan smiled and looked at Hu Xianxian, and trained him seriously and virtuously.

Hu Xianxian gratefully bowed to Metaha, and then pointed at Gao Youde and said, "He is fighting for you." ”

Mataha exhaled a long sullen breath and smiled bitterly: "What's so uneven? Let me follow the example of Zacuo to find excuses to stir up strife? In my opinion, loving someone is not about conquering the other person, but about helping to protect everything that the other person wants to protect. ”

To love someone is to protect rather than conquer, and many of the views of Metaha and Hu Xianxian are the same, but there is a lack of heartbeat between them.

After taking Hu Xianxian to take a closer look at the arrangements made in Ning Cui Yuan, and discussing some matters, Hu Xianxian suggested that Metaha go and talk to the lord of Fuke City to ensure that Fuke City and the French Dynasty maintain friendly relations.

Fuke City is on the side of Lingshan Mountain, which is an important transit city from the French Dynasty to Tianfang and other countries, and does not belong to any state, nor is it an independent state, and it is attached to different states in different periods.

Speaking of these, Metaha's cheeks flushed strangely, and Hu Xianxian blinked incomprehensibly, because the last time Zacuo attacked the city, Mataha had gone to Fuke City to contact the city lord to mediate, acquaintances are familiar with the way and easy to do, why do you seem to be afraid of meeting?

Gao Youde quickly explained: "There was a war in the countries of Manraka and Siam on the South China Sea, and there was a princess of Manraka who took refuge in Fuke City, this princess is named 'Bao Yuan', she is not worried about the imminent death of the country, and she plays with our young master every day......

Before he finished speaking, Hu Xianxian had already understood, pursed his lips and chuckled at Metaha, "This is a good thing, very good, very good." The matter of uniting the city lord of Fuke City, please don't shirk Young Master Mai. ”

"Immortal...... You, you ......," Metaha stammered, his features twisted into bitter melons.

Hu Xianxian smiled playfully, and then bowed to Metaha: "Maintaining friendly and good-neighborly relations with Fuke City is very important for this battle. ”

The reason why Qiongzhou lost three counties was because Dian State was forced to cooperate with Fanbang and could not let the same thing happen again.

No matter how powerful the Dao Aliens are, they can't massacre ordinary soldiers, that will alarm the Heavenly Court to intervene, and it will even violate the Heavenly Dao to affect the improvement of cultivation, and even attract Heavenly Punishment.

Therefore, although Hu Xianxian and they participated in the war, they were all fighting with the other party's aliens and would not torture and kill ordinary soldiers at will, and attacking the city and plundering the land also played an auxiliary role, and tried not to destroy the city with spells.

Metaha reluctantly agreed, and immediately asked Gao Youde to prepare his luggage and try to bypass the Fanjun military camp to go to Fuke City.

The way is a bit far, and there are many hardships and dangers, Hu Xianxian suggested taking the flying immortals outside the sky.

But the height of the flying immortals outside the sky is not high, and it is difficult to climb over Lingshan, Hu Xianxian is ready to go to the foot of Lingshan Mountain with them, and then ask Leng Qiulang to help them cross Lingshan.

Metaha did as he was told, and arrived at Manasha's residence on Ling Mountain in the early afternoon.

After Hu Xianxian used his aura to ask Leng Qiulang for help, he discussed with Leng Qiulang to beware of Zacuo's various actions.

After these things were done, after Hu Xianxian came out of the mountain, he sensed Ling Ruofeng's breath not far from the military camp of Fanjun.

Hu Xianxian used his aura to urge his thoughts and invited Ling Ruofeng to meet.

"What did you ask me for?" Ling Ruofeng quickly appeared and asked coldly.

Hu Xianxian bowed to her, and said to her with the respectful attitude of the senior sister to the senior sister: "In the war, the people are the most innocent, if Zacuo wants to use the sand lake to do the thing of flooding the border city again, please also ask the fourth senior sister to be merciful and save the civilians." ”

"You don't come to pretend to be a good person, I'm no longer the goddess of Lingshan, what does it matter to me whether those people live or die?" Ling Ruofeng pursed his lips and looked at Hu Xianxian obliquely, "The war is all because of you, if it really overwhelms the country and the city, your vanity has been satisfied, right?" ”

Hu Xianxian was stunned, this scene seemed to have happened yesterday, but it had been several lifetimes apart.

Inexplicably familiar, Ling Ruofeng was still so cold in front of others and maintained the necessary politeness, and when he was alone with Hu Xianxian (or Bai Huifeng), he became very bitter and mean.

Hu Xianxian chuckled, hiding the many emotions in her eyes, everything has changed, it seems to be the same but it is different, she said lightly: "You and I are not people who care about the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, why should the fourth senior sister make fun of me?" For me, all strife is just a process of sharpening my mind. ”

"You can see through it." Ling Ruofeng sneered and asked, "But do you say it nicely, or do you really understand it thoroughly?" ”

"Does the fourth senior sister think I have understood it?" Hu Xianxian was not angry, he smiled kinder than Ling Ruofeng, "Who can tell what is in mind?" For example, who would have thought that the fourth senior sister would help Lu Laizun? ”

"Lu Laizun? What Lu Laizun? Ling Ruofeng really didn't understand.

Hu Xianxian knew that Ling Ruofeng only saved people on a whim, and he definitely didn't ask Lu Laizun's name and identity, so he immediately briefly explained the process of saving people, and also told Lu Laizun's basic situation.

"What do you mean by saying so much about him? It's just a meeting in Pingshui, and saving him is also a matter of effort. Ling Ruofeng said that, flew away, and didn't want to talk to Hu Xianxian again.

Hu Xianxian looked at her back, wrinkled her nose and grimaced and smiled.

She had many thoughts, but she didn't dare to think too deeply, and she didn't dare to move her mind, because she sensed that the movement of her mind would induce an invisible change in providence.

Directly affected by Providence, can it also affect Providence in turn? Hu Xianxian didn't dare to miss Cheng Haofeng much, his heart was empty and uncomfortable, and for some reason he had the idea of mischief - since they were all in the calamity, then they all came to taste the bitter taste of love, and no one wanted to escape.

Back in the barracks, Hu Xianxian and Zheng Tianba thought about what forces should be united, which ones should be guarded against, and how to prepare all kinds of supplies.

When the 28th of the winter month was about to arrive, Fan Dingyao led the army to arrive, and all affairs were uniformly dispatched and carried out more smoothly.

On the twenty-ninth day of the winter month, Fan Dingyao sent people to Beijing to report the military situation according to the procedures, and at the same time asked Hu Xianxian to send a spirit talisman to Cheng Haofeng to ask for a strategy against the enemy.
