Chapter 702: Red Cloak
Three days later, all the medicinal materials needed to refine the giant soul incense had been secretly sent to Shiqiao Village. Before the medicinal herbs were delivered, Ruan Sihai used the pretext of protecting the safety of the villagers at the foot of Chongshan to surround the villages on the east and west sides that were close to Chongshan. To this end, Ruan Sihai called almost all the city guards.
Most of the people around the other villages are people from Fancheng, but Shiqiao Village is surrounded by night soldiers in disguise, and not only that, but now Shiqiao Village does not allow any idle people to enter and exit. According to the Night Army, Shiqiao Village is located at the junction of the north and south, and it is very likely that enemy personnel will sneak in from the outer mountains, so the order of Shiqiao Village is completely under the responsibility of the Night Army.
Ruan Sihai had no objection to this, but tried his best to cooperate with the Night Army, while protecting the safety of the villages, while paying attention to the situation of the fierce beasts in the mountains. With the help of Yan Nantian and the others, the matter of refining the medicine has been safe, it can be said that all parties have been prepared, and the next thing Lin Xuanzhong has to do is to ensure that the medicine is refined as soon as possible.
After clarifying with Xue Yin before, Lin Xuanzhong didn't have to worry too much about the matter of refining medicine, with Zhang Jiutian here, in the past three days, what Lin Xuanzhong had to do was just to keep himself as calm as possible, so as to figure out some things.
Since putting forward the plan of the beast attack coalition, for a period of time, Lin Xuanzhong's state of mind has changed dramatically compared to before he settled in Fancheng, so although it is very cold on the mountain now, Lin Xuanzhong still often walks in the mountains alone, and the matter of refining medicine has basically been completely handed over to Zhang Jiutian.
Recently, there are many people patrolling the mountain behind Shiqiao Village, not only paying attention to the situation of fierce beasts in the mountain, but also paying attention to whether there are enemy soldiers sneaking in from the outskirts of the mountain, back and forth, and every time they go up the mountain, they can meet some people. Speaking of which, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the refining of medicine, Yan Nantian had some practices that were more thoughtful than Lin Xuanzhong's considerations. It can be said that the attitude of the above towards the beast attack plan is more important than Lin Xuanzhong's. Thinking about this, the pressure in Lin Xuanzhong's heart is getting bigger and bigger.
After calming down several times on the mountain, Lin Xuanzhong also thought of going to the east to see the stars many times. Earlier, because of the spread of the fierce beast, Lin Xuanzhong was still very worried about the safety of Xingyu and Hu Lao, but after specially asking the night army personnel in charge of the affairs over there, Lin Xuanzhong already knew that before they sent the personnel, there had been no fierce beasts in the mountains in the east because there was no relationship with the beast.
Now that there are the personnel of the Night Army and Fancheng to protect them, it is less likely that the grandfather and grandson will encounter danger with the villagers under the mountain, so after confirming the safety of the grandfather and grandson, Lin Xuanzhong's desire to go there gradually became less strong. Coupled with many things he has experienced recently, in the end, Lin Xuanzhong did not pass, but every time he thinks of the time he spent with Xingyu, he still has some thoughts of going. Anyway, in the past few days, Lin Xuanzhong would think of those days from time to time.
In addition to thinking about some things that he thinks are beautiful, Lin Xuanzhong's most common thing is to practice, and the purity of the mountains is the best place to practice, and only when he is practicing, Lin Xuanzhong can forget many unhappy things and concentrate on comprehending the exercises. I don't know if Xingyu is still practicing archery recently, and I don't know how Xingyu is improving in physical skills. In any case, in Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, it is not a problem to practice archery skills well with Xingyu's pure personality.
It's a pity that after separating from Xingyu, until now, Lin Xuanzhong has never experienced that pure feeling, and he can only rely on his own understanding when cultivating bowarts.
In the past three days, although I have spent a lot of time practicing, I have not made any progress. I don't know what the problem is with the stagnation of my cultivation, Lin Xuanzhong is even more in the mood to find the problem, he just practices over and over again, and he doesn't feel tired at all.
In that very little rest time, what Lin Xuanzhong had to do was to take control of the overall situation. As the first person in charge of the beast attack plan, Lin Xuanzhong's attention is not limited to the matter of refining medicine, all things related to the beast attack plan are closely related to Lin Xuanzhong.
Whether it was good or bad weather, the number of fierce beasts in the mountains, the length of time it would take to refine the medicine, and the candidates who would infiltrate the coalition camp, etc., were all issues that Lin Xuanzhong needed to consider. Each problem has a huge impact on the beast attack plan, and Lin Xuanzhong must not only think about everything clearly, but also consider how to deal with various problems when they arise. This beast attack plan decided the life and death of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and such a large scale was nothing more than a huge challenge for Lin Xuanzhong, who was in charge of this kind of thing for the first time.
Under the current situation of Lin Xuanzhong's limited ability, almost everything requires Lin Xuanzhong's full dedication, so consuming energy makes Lin Xuanzhong feel tired more than practicing, but unfortunately all the pressure can only be carried by Lin Xuanzhong alone, and even Zhang Jiutian can't help Lin Xuanzhong share his worries.
On the fourth day of clarifying the situation with Xue Yin, Lin Xuanzhong was alone on the mountain and stayed for an afternoon. In the evening, a man stands alone on a hill watching the sunset. The cold wind was blowing, and the biting chill made Lin Xuanzhong, who was originally thinly dressed, colder and colder, but even if it was cold, it still couldn't affect the beauty of the fiery sunset in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, that kind of beauty didn't seem to belong to the cruel world in front of him at all, and under the deep attraction of that beauty, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't extricate himself.
Under the golden red afterglow, Lin Xuanzhong stood there quietly, looking at the sunset motionlessly, constantly wondering if he would be able to see such a beautiful scene again in the future.
Under the sunset all over his body, Lin Xuanzhong's white hair was golden, and the temperament of the whole person seemed to be completely integrated into heaven and earth, and it was one with heaven and earth, which was indescribably different. Until the sun was about to set, Lin Xuanzhong, who had forgotten the time, was still standing there.
"General, it's not early, aren't you going back to rest?"
Suddenly, a crisp woman's voice came from his ears, and Lin Xuanzhong woke up suddenly, and when he turned around, he saw that the person was Xue Yin. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Xue Yin's originally beautiful face gave people a very warm feeling, and for a moment, it was as if all the cold had been melted by Xue Yin's face.
"Xue Yin, why are you here?" Lin Xuanzhong's consciousness became more and more sober when he was surprised by the indescribable beauty of Xue Yin.
"Master Zhang said that you practiced on the mountain and never came back, Xue Yin was worried that the general would freeze his body after staying on the mountain for too long, so he came over to take a look, hoping that Xue Yin did not disturb the general," remembering that when he was waiting for Lin Xuanzhong to turn around just now, Xue Yin had an inexplicable feeling of distress, as if Lin Xuanzhong was in need of care now.
"Of course not, thank you Miss Xue Yin for your concern," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong slowly looked away from Xue Yin's face, and looked at the sunset that was about to fall behind the mountain.
"General, can Xue Yin ask you a question?"
"Say it!"
"Is the general still worried about letting Xue Yin refine medicine?"
"A little bit!" let out a sigh, he wanted to say that it was because of the entire beast attack plan, but he thought that the matter of refining medicine was indeed part of it, and after pondering for a while, Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to answer like this.
"Actually, the general doesn't have to care about what is bad for Xue Yin to refine the medicine, Xue Yin doesn't want the general to be unhappy because he is worried about Xue Yin, and he doesn't care where the general uses the medicine, Xue Yin only hopes to help the general," In the past few days, because of the communication with Zhang Jiutian, Xue Yin already knew the identity of Lin Xuanzhong's first-class wolf general.
Xue Yin knew that the wolf general's title could not be exchanged for strength alone, it had a lot to do with Lin Xuanzhong's military exploits, and Lin Xuanzhong was not a high-level martial artist, so as long as he thought that Lin Xuanzhong had gone through hardships to have today's status, Xue Yin's impression of Lin Xuanzhong had changed again, and he did have a feeling of admiration.
"Miss Xueyin, you can think like this, I'm very happy, I hope our selfishness didn't make Miss Xueyin feel embarrassed," it may be that Xueyin said it too well, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't know how to deal with it.
"The general asked Xue Yin to refine medicine in order to save thousands of Li people, if the general's approach is selfish, then Xue Yin wants to be selfish for the general once," Xue Yin's tone of voice was completely different from Zhang Jiutian's, even if the two of them expressed the same meaning in some aspects, but Xue Yin's words were more acceptable, and almost every sentence could enter Lin Xuanzhong's heart. Even if he felt that some of Xue Yin's thoughts were still not good, some of Lin Xuanzhong's worries were originally dissipated because of Xue Yin's words.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Lin Xuanzhong continued: "No matter what, I will thank Miss Xueyin for her help. ”
"The general is not polite, it is Xue Yin's honor to serve the general," In the dim and dim light, Lin Xuanzhong's side face seemed to contain countless emotions, and it was clear to see it, but Xue Yin couldn't see what Lin Xuanzhong was in now.
"Xue Yin, let's go back," it wasn't early, Lin Xuanzhong slowly turned around and looked at Xue Yin again.
"General, this is a cloak that I have sewn for you with my own hands, I have blessed the cloak in the way we have there, and I hope that from now on the general can make great achievements," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong turn around, Xue Yin directly unfolded the neatly folded red cloak and displayed it in front of Lin Xuanzhong.
It was at this time that Lin Xuanzhong noticed that Xue Yin was holding a cloak in his hand, he had seen other generals wear it before, but he didn't expect that he could also have one today. Looking straight at the dark-colored cloak, Lin Xuanzhong really couldn't say anything to refuse.
"General, can I tie it for you?" After Lin Xuanzhong nodded in response, Xue Yin took two steps forward abruptly.
"Okay," nodded again, Lin Xuanzhong still couldn't refuse Xue Yin's kindness. In the next moment, the two figures were getting closer and closer.
Smelling the special fragrance on Xue Yin's body, Lin Xuanzhong was still fascinated. When reminding himself not to think too much, Lin Xuanzhong once again noticed that Xue Yin did not have the kind of aura that belonged to martial arts cultivation, and was really just an ordinary woman with a prominent temperament.
"General, this cloak fits you very well, but Xue Yin thinks it's more imposing to tie the cloak when the general is wearing armor," Xue Yin soon tied the cloak to Lin Xuanzhong, and made a special comment.
