Chu Xi himself was a little hesitant, at present, because the reinforcements of the Heavenly Star Guard have arrived, the situation should not be dangerous, mainly because his strength is too low.

However, the current situation is becoming more and more complicated and chaotic, and it seems that many forces and hidden forces are involved, and it is indeed not something that can be mixed by oneself.

I came here by myself, firstly, to perform routine duties, and secondly, to increase some experience in handling things and to understand the various situations of the rivers and lakes, and now it is time to withdraw as soon as possible.

Finding Li Buyu and mentioning it means the same thing, otherwise even if Chu Xi doesn't leave, Li Buyu won't let him leave the military town again.

Li Buyu felt that Chu Xi's brain was good, and originally planned to let him stay in the military town from now on to help him analyze intelligence and staff operations.

Chu Xi himself was a little moved by Li Buyu's plan, but thinking about the many tasks he had undertaken, he was still busy doing tasks to pay off his debts.

Immediately, Chu Xi recalled the ghost elder, said hello to Wanqing, Han Xiao and others, and left the military town for Cishui City.

At the beginning, because he was going to the area of Cishui City to carry out tasks, Chu Xi deliberately picked two fifth-level tasks, in order to spend more time in Cishui City and facilitate the investigation of the characters.

Now the situation in Cishui City is complicated, and the original plan has been disrupted, but fortunately, those two tasks are quite simple, and you can return to Tongjing after completing them quickly.

One of these two tasks is to help a certain family open a treasure pavilion, and the other is to help the alchemist refine a certain magic weapon.

Both tasks require the transfer of star power, and Chu Xi can easily do it now, and the reason why no one has received it for a while is mainly because the merit star return is too low.

Chu Xi didn't have this feeling, or he was very conscious, this kind of simple task was suitable for a low-level star martial artist like himself.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and Chu Xi now wishes that the more simple tasks of this kind, the better, and pay off the debt as soon as possible, so that he can have time and energy to do other things.

Qiansha Military Town is far from Cishui City, whether it is long or not, it is not short, it is not short, it is three hundred and eighty miles, which was decided by the military department after some calculations.

In this way, a buffer distance was left between the military town and Cishui City, which just gave Woniu Mountain in the middle, even if the military town was broken, Woniu Mountain could be relied on as a barrier.

Leaving from the military town, Chu Xi rode an ordinary military horse this time, and the ghost old man was no longer hiding, and rode a horse to follow Chu Xi's side.

Along the way, Chu Xi and the ghost elder were talking about each other, most of them were Chu Xi asking, and the ghost was answering, mostly some interesting anecdotes about the rivers and lakes.

The ghost old man has gone through ups and downs in his life, and he has to sigh for a long time when he shakes out some of the past, which is not only anecdotes, but also contains all kinds of life and experience in the rivers and lakes.

It may be that the mission is different now, and the ghost old man is no longer the cold appearance of cherishing words like gold, but is very talkative in these aspects.

Chu Xi felt that this seemed to be the original temperament of the ghost elder, but he walked in the dark all the year round, and he performed some secret tasks, and the ghost old man behaved like that.

In fact, in the heart of the ghost elder, he really admires and is curious about his second young master, at a young age, his martial arts talent is extremely high, and even the cultivation of soul skills is extremely fast.

It was already beyond his expectations that Chu Xi's divine soul was powerful and that he could cultivate soul skills, who knew that the strength of his divine soul was far beyond his expectations.

Compared with Chu Xi, the ghost old man really felt that he had lived to be a dog at this age, and Chu Xi had cultivated soul skills for three years, which was already stronger than his twenty years.

What's more, Chu Xi's brain is still very good, and he has witnessed with his own eyes how Chu Xi, who originally followed the mixed experience, became the core of the team step by step.

Later, even Li Buyu, the acting commander of the Heavenly Star Guard, had to seek Chu Xi's advice and follow his strategy, which was not simple.

Over the years in the Chu family, I have witnessed Chu Mingshang single-handedly founding the Everbright Chu family, witnessed the two brothers who broke the army and the camp, and the growth of Chu Zhansheng's generation.

But the ghost elder can be sure that at the same age, no one in the Chu family can compare with Chu Xi in terms of overall situation and strategy, even Chu Poying, who is good at strategy.

How old is Chu Xi now, that is, in his early 15s, when Chu Poying was so old, he didn't even read a few books on the art of war.

The ghost old man didn't know what Chu Xi thought, otherwise he would definitely be embarrassed, how can this be his own cleverness, he really borrowed a lot of knowledge from his previous life.

During the Song Dynasty, the discourse novel had begun to become popular, and there were many storytellers in the teahouse and restaurant, Mr. Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chu Xi read it no less than three times.

Although he is a true student of Confucianism, Chu Xi, who has loved ancient books since childhood, has also dabbled in many classics and books from the pre-Qin era.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms Troubled Times, were able to analyze the chaos this time, but they just learned from the experience of their predecessors.

The two of them were thinking about things, and the military horses under their crotches moved forward slowly, unaware that someone was waiting for them on the main peak of Woniu Mountain in the distance.

Woniu Mountain is not high, but the main peak wall stands thousands of feet, and a mountain on the side is not too low to stand together, constituting a natural dangerous pass.

Chuxi and they are going to Cishui City, and the official road between the two peaks that can be ridden side by side is the only way, close to the Cishui side, and the entrance is guarded.

Out of Woniu Mountain, the Qi River, a tributary of Cishui, has a bend here, forming a water pool, and the water army and land village are complete, and they are stationed here all the year round.

Qiansha Military Town is really no danger to rely on, once it is breached, the one who can really resist the enemy is Woniu Mountain.

On the side of Qiansha Military Town, Woniu Mountain is not inhabited, and there are several sentry posts on the mountainside, but they have long been deserted, covered by weeds, and do not distinguish the appearance of the year.

The mountains and forests are lush and the light is dappled, and the eyes of the old and the young are hidden in the distance.

It was three people, two tall and one short, all masked and black-clad, standing on the cliff, quietly watching Chu Xi and the ghost old approach.

There was a light breeze on the top of the mountain, and there was nowhere for the tight-fitting suit to blow, just caressing the folds, gasping and chest slightly heaving as he held his breath.

When it got closer, I could already see the hot breath exhaled from the mouth of the military horse, which formed a white mist when it met the coolness of the mountains, and quickly dissipated.

"Sigh the ......"

For no reason, the ghost old man suddenly grabbed the horse, grabbed Chu Xi's arm, and jumped to the side, away from the position just now.

After landing, he rolled and walked towards the trees on the side, and in one go, the waist-high barren grass on the side of the road disappeared at once.

Looking at the position just now, several fine iron arrows passed through the military horse, pierced the ground, and a few wisps of blood soaked a small piece of ground along the blood trough.

Along the trail of rolling all the way, there were three or two iron arrows that came back to the ground, and the force was so great that it was still trembling.

In this life, the ghost old man specializes in investigating assassinations, and has encountered countless assassinations and counterattacks, and the response methods are almost the same as instinct.

Chu Xi went through the initial state of confusion, and at this time he also came to his senses, and followed the ghost old man through the dense forest, full of vigilance, looking around.

The ghost old man didn't say a word, and he didn't squint, but in fact, his hearing, smell, and perception had been maximized, and he didn't let go of a hint of wind and grass.
