North Plains, outside Star City.

The dusty Dragoons rested in a small village and promised the villagers benefits, and were treated very well.

The villagers were simple, and they only knew that this was a team of Longquanguan soldiers temporarily stationed here, so they were relieved.

On the first day Liu Maosheng settled down, he gave Shi Yan an order: "When you enter the city, you must find the second sister-in-law, tell her about our situation, and ask her to come out and preside over the overall situation." ”

At this moment, Shi Yan had already disguised himself as an ordinary person, and took over the order with dozens of good hands.

Si Shengnan is in Star City at the moment, and it is still three points and one line. Jiekou vegetable market, small academy, own small courtyard.

Suo E is almost inseparable, in addition to Li You's order, he also knows how terrible this seemingly ordinary woman in front of him is.

Shi Yan entered the city, took more than a dozen of his subordinates to buy a lot of vegetables, pigs and sheep outside the city, and drove to the entrance of the vegetable market.

"Fresh vegetables. ”

"Lamb. Mutton... "Several of the good players are veterans who have been in the internal guard, and they are dressed in disguise, and they are constantly shouting.

As usual, Si Shengnan took Wei Wei Xinyun to the entrance of the vegetable market, and saw Shi Yan in disguise at a glance, she turned her head and said

"I won't buy vegetables today, go directly to the academy and try Mu Laojiu's food. ”

Xin Yun looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything, just followed.

Suo E glanced at the lively scene at the entrance of the vegetable market suspiciously, frowning, not knowing why.

Originally, Shi Yan and his entourage, who saw Si Shengnan from afar, were ready to take Si Shengnan out even if they fought a bloody way, but they never thought that Si Shengnan would see him go directly.

"Is there anything unspeakable about the second sister-in-law? He must know us. A sergeant asked Shi Yan, who was standing in front of the vegetable basket.

Shi Yan was entangled: "She is followed by that traitor of Suo'e. Is it because of this? Go, inform the brothers, buy fruit, and go to the gate of the small academy to sell. ”

"Understood. ”

Si Shengnan was reading the contents of the book to the children in the small academy at the moment, but he had just been born for less than half an hour. Outside the courtyard, the sound of fruit sellers could be heard.

"Fresh fruit. ”

"Cool melon!"

Si Shengnan frowned, at this moment, many children were already swallowing saliva and looking out the window, how could they not hear such a big movement. Suo E, who was standing at the door, looked at him even more, and he felt that the voice seemed to be a little familiar.

"Boom!" the door opened.

Suo E locked on to the person selling cold melons at a glance, and subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the knife. Because he can see that the person in front of him is by no means an ordinary person. Selling cold melons, fooling ghosts?

The reason why he didn't act rashly was because in addition to a cold melon seller, there were also several people pushing fruit carts. On both sides of the street, there were already a few people standing and walking over, and there was no doubt about their identity.

Shi Yan had already torn the mustache off his mouth.

Suo E looked at it, and his pupils shrank: "Shi Yan?"

"Hmph! I know your grandfather. ”

Suo E was already a little nervous, he was alone, although once the fight started, the people arranged by Li You around him might be able to respond in time. But he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what if, he has not seen the skills of these demon dragon riders, ten people, even the warbands of various factions, may not be able to escape well, and the most terrifying thing is that this group of people is not afraid of death.

"What do you want to do?" Suo'e's knuckles were stuck in the knife, and they were already white, and his palms were sweaty. Nervously looking at the people around him.

Shi Yan sneered: "Today, we are here to invite the second sister-in-law, it has nothing to do with you, if you block it, don't blame me for being merciless." ”

At this moment, the melon seller and the fruit seller had already drawn his sword from the carriage, and Shi Yan took out his usual two-headed snake from the blanket on his shoulder. The scene was tense for a while, but the bow was not easy to bring in, otherwise, Suo E would have died on the spot.

"Come in, be quiet, don't scare the kids. ”

Si Shengnan's voice came from the door, followed by Xin Yun, Wei Wei, and Lao Wei, who saw that the situation was wrong.

Si Shengnan said to Lao Wei: "Take care of the children, I have something to talk about with them." ”

Lao Wei hugged his fists and turned to leave, and even pulled Xin Yun and Wei Wei away.

Shi Yan gave everyone a look, and slowly walked into the courtyard.

Suo E saw the situation, so he faintly approached Si Shengnan, he planned to take Si Shengnan hostage in case and get a chance to save his life.

However, as soon as he moved, Si Shengnan said contemptuously: "Don't bother, I don't know your little bit of caution? Don't forget, I'm also a sixth order." If you really do it, you may not be able to hold me hostage. ”

Suo E was stunned, he really forgot that Si Shengnan was also the head of a faction, and his strength was good. It's just that Si Shengnan's wisdom conceals her identity as a spiritual cultivator, which is often overlooked.

At this moment, Si Shengnan still has the silver bracelet on his hand, which is the forbidden spirit ring. She wears a forbidden spirit ring, unlike Bai Shanshui, in order to enhance her strength, unlike young disciples, in order to lay a solid foundation, she is to always leave a path for herself.

"Second sister-in-law, let's just wait for you to go out and preside over the overall situation. Second sister-in-law, come with us!"

Shi Yan looked at Suo E vigilantly and asked Si Shengnan.

However, Si Shengnan didn't mean to move at all, she smiled faintly: "I won't go with you." ”

"Second sister-in-law?" Many people looked at Si Shengnan in confusion, almost wanting to forcibly take him away.

Si Shengnan smiled: "If I leave, the court will only be angry with your family, and if I stay, the emperor will only be angry with me." Do you understand?"

"But?" Shi Yan gritted his teeth, and what he had prepared in advance had best become empty talk. He stood here and realized that he couldn't find a single word.

Si Shengnan continued: "I'm here, the Demon Dragon Rider is still the same Demon Dragon Rider, and you will always be just a young eagle under protection. I'm very touched that you're here. Presumably, the Hexi dungeon has already been taken!"

As soon as these words came out, Suo E's face was full of shock.

Shi Yan glanced at Suo E, gritted his teeth and nodded.

That's it, a man is not in a desperate situation, and he never knows what kind of career he can do. Including you, including Liu Maosheng, including Lin Xiaoer. You made such a big fuss, and you came to me, presumably that letter was opened in advance. Really?"

Shi Yan still nodded, and then argued: "That's because we didn't know what to do next at that time. ”

Si Shengnan waved his hand: "I don't know what to do next? Is it only our Si Shengnan who has a long brain, he Liu Maosheng, and Lin Tingwu has no brains? Do you have the courage to open my letter if you don't listen to me, don't you have the courage to stand in this world?"

Everyone lowered their heads and asked a series of questions, but they were speechless.

"Many of you just think that as long as you hold the knife and follow Zhou Zhe's or my orders, you will be done. Zhou Zhe is here, I want to cultivate you slowly, but now I can't. Therefore, we can only let the fire of war temper you, so that you can truly grow. Little stone, do you understand?" Si Shengnan's words were serious, and everyone's faces were entangled.

"Let's go, go and tell Liu Maosheng that I'm in Star City. If it's Zhou Zhe, let him come to me. ”

"But... Shi Yan almost told Si Shengnan that Liu Maosheng was already outside the city, but Si Shengnan's meaning was already clear.

She waved her hand and said to Suo, "Suo, if you want to die now, sound your horn, otherwise, let them go." ”

Suo E didn't say a word, and took a step back, the meaning was self-evident.

"Alas!" Shi Yan shook his hand. Reluctantly, he left with someone.

And Si Shengnan seemed to be very tired, walked to an office in the small academy, sat on a chair, and said nothing. It's not that she can't go, if she wants to go, ten Suo'e can't stop her, she is waiting, waiting for the person who is looking forward to appearing. Or, force him out.

Hexi has begun to change the sky, will Zhou Zhe appear?

Si Shengnan's heart also began to be silent, in case Zhou Zhe was in retreat, then what is the meaning of her, live?

At noon that day, Shi Yan returned to the small village to report the situation, and Liu Maosheng was silent and did not speak. He felt that he had suddenly lost his direction, and now, they had occupied the dungeon in Hexi, and the next step could be done according to Si Shengnan's deployment. But what about the lower part, the future? He couldn't see clearly, and he was confused.

Also confused, there are Li Fei, Wei Lan, Shi Yan, these old people who have followed Zhou Zhe for many years.

Wei Lan shook her head: "I know the temper of the second sister-in-law, she has made up her mind, don't persuade her, even if we tie it, it's useless." ”

Liu Maosheng just asked, "Then what should we do in the future?"

Li Fei lay down with a grin: "I said, let's do it otherwise." ”

"How?"

Li Fei said: "According to Master Hou's thinking, what should we do?"

"Cut!" everyone disdained, this is equivalent to not saying it.

Wei Lan said: "Regardless of whether the Hou Ye is here or not, we have to take Hexi first." One thing Li Fei is not wrong, as long as the Hou Ye is here, he will never watch those people in Hexi suffer. The Flying Sword Villa, the Xishan Sect, and the little yamen in Linxi City should all die. Liu Maosheng, give the order! Let's go back to Hexi. ”

Liu Maosheng also understands that if the second sister-in-law wants to go, she must be able to go.

"Okay! Let's repair for a day, and return to Hexi early tomorrow morning. ”

Just as Liu Maosheng was about to leave, the holy decree of the capital was also delivered to Li You.

Li You looked at the Holy Decree, his eyes condensed, and asked him to transfer 20,000 light horses, the number of people is not particularly large, but who to transfer is a problem. And the holy decree only said to obey the commander's dispatch, but did not say who the boss was, which means that it has not yet been decided.

Who to send?

Guo Dayong was listening on the sidelines, and there were several generals from Longquan Pass, except for those who changed guards and went to Star City, including veteran scalpers and Gao Shanqi.

Li You was calculating, and Guo Dayong was the first to stand up

"The last general is willing to lead the troops. ”

Li You ignored it, while Gao Shanqi looked at the scalper and shook his head. He didn't want to fight against those people, not only because they were in the past, but also because he knew that if it weren't for Li You's means, how could the demon dragon ride leave without saying goodbye? The scalper was naturally not stupid, and he also saw some clues.

After a while, Li You spoke

"Twenty thousand cavalry, a lot of people. Guo Dayong is the commander-in-chief, but Guo Dayong is inexperienced, General Scalper, General Gao Shancai, you two can assist the deputy general. Guo Dayong's 5,000 light cavalry, 10,000 cattle cavalry, Gao Shan's cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry. ”

Gao Shanqi immediately stood up and said, "But the holy decree says 20,000 light horses. ”

Li You nodded: "I know, your men and horses are lightly armed and are light riders." ”

"This!" Gao Shanqi was just about to argue, heavy riding and light riding are two different things, and the training of heavy riding is to charge head-on, which is not at all the same as light riding.

Li You waved his hand: "Okay, okay, that's it, you go and prepare, and set off tomorrow." Guo Dayong, you stay, I have something to tell you. ”

Gao Shanqi still wanted to argue, but Li You's face shook: "Gao Shanqi, don't you have to resist the decree?"

The scalper pulled Gao Shan to ride: "How can there be such a thing." ”

"That's pretty much it. ”

When the others were far away, Guo Dayong asked very bullshit: "Three princes, what is the matter with the last general?"

Li You patted Guo Dayong's shoulder with a smile and whispered: "Credit, yours, the two of them, are here to help you take the blame." Don't be afraid, I'll call the shots. ”

Guo Dayong nodded immediately when he heard this: "The last general understands, and he will be fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Li You smiled sadly: "Go!
