readx;?? Chapter 925 Break the Siege
"I won't take back what I sent out!" Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, and he arched his hand and said, "I just got out of trouble, my body is weak, I don't know if I can bother in your mansion for a few days?"
The middle-aged couple glanced at each other and smiled in unison, where is their small thatched house worthy of the name of 'Guifu'. The www.biquge.info villager returned the salute and said, "As long as the son is willing, he can live as long as he wants." ”
Shangguan Xiu thanked with a smile. He was knocked down the underground river by Pei Ying, and he didn't see his body, I don't know if the people of Xuanling Palace are still searching for his whereabouts, he urgently needs to recover his aura now for self-preservation.
Moreover, the small mountain village is closed, which is suitable for him to hide, and this is still a mountainous area, and the aura is pure and abundant, which is also suitable for him to meditate and cultivate.
Muramasa answered: "There is a war going on in Nanding County, and Gongzi is not in a hurry to go home, so it is good to recuperate here for a while." ”
"War?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Childe doesn't know?"
Shangguan Xiu shook his head inexplicably.
Muramasa sighed and said: "Two months ago, the prince of the Wind Country disappeared in Tianjing, the Wind Country was furious, and raised the whole country's troops to attack Haotian, and now the south and the north are fighting, and only the area of Tianjing is still relatively peaceful!"
I really didn't expect that it had been more than two months since the battle of Silong Mountain.
Shangguan Xiu's mind turned sharply, and he subconsciously looked down at the white liquid on the ground, as well as the bones, thinking about it, in the past two months, he has lived by sucking these monsters!
I don't know how the saint is doing now, whether she has escaped from the predicament. Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, at this time he really wanted to leave here at once, go to the outside world to find out, and figure everything out, but he also understood that with his current physical condition, once he was found outside, he might not even have the strength to resist.
He asked, "How is the war going now?"
Mura Zheng shook his head and said: "The specific situation, the old man is not clear, but when the old man arrived in Tianjing City, he heard rumors that the battle ahead was not optimistic, and the casualties were very large, and the imperial court may soon issue a conscription order!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded, in the early stage of this battle, it is strange that Ningnan's battle situation can be optimistic!
In the early days of the war, the Feng army, which was recuperated and ready to attack, would of course have an all-round advantage, and Ningnan, who was poorly prepared and hastily faced the battle, was of course defeated and retreated, which was already expected when the side formulated its tactics.
The key to this battle is in the middle term, as long as the Feng Army can maintain the pressure on the Ningnan Army and successfully smash the first wave of the Ningnan Army in the middle of the war, the next battle will be easy to fight.
He pondered for a moment, made a circle to the villagers present, and said with a smile: "I may have to live in your village for a month, during this time, if there is any disturbance, please bear with me." ”
Although his current appearance is weird, he is polite and easy to make people feel good.
The villagers are simple and don't mind living in the village alone, people waved their hands and said with a smile: "Childe is too polite!"
Shangguan Xiu settled in a small mountain village.
In fact, he spent most of his time not in the village, but meditated and cultivated among the mountains. He only knew that his current cultivation realm had made a big breakthrough, but he didn't know exactly what level he had reached.
The recovery of the aura in his body was much faster than Shangguan Xiu expected, he had planned to cultivate here for a month, and after recovering six or seven percent of the aura, he left, but it only took twenty days, and the dantian was already filled with aura.
On this day, Shangguan Xiu, as usual, left the small village where he lived before dawn and went to a mountain where he often meditated. Tens of meters high, he only tapped his toes twice, and the person had already jumped to the top of the peak.
There is a boulder on the top of the peak, the boulder has been flattened by Shangguan Xiu, he sits cross-legged on it, hugging Yuan Shouyi, breathing and breathing. As he settled, layers of light appeared around his body, and white mist slowly coalesced around him.
His figure was completely shrouded in mist, and when he looked at it coldly, he could not see that it was a person meditating, but more like a white stone standing upright on it.
After two hours, the fog around Shangguan Xiu slowly faded, and the mist followed the pores around him and burrowed into his body.
The moment he opened his eyes, two bolts of lightning immediately shot out of his eyes, and his dark eyes shimmered with brilliant brilliance, like two small light bulbs.
He lowered his eyes, and when he opened them again, the light in his eyes had faded and his eyes were back to normal.
He looked up at the sky, and in the midst of a turn of his mind, his figure suddenly rose into the air. He didn't use the spirit armor to transform his wings, but just borrowed the power of the wind, and the whole person was suspended in the air.
He shook his body, and his body fell steadily from mid-air, and then he walked to the edge of the cliff, and jumped straight from the peak.
His figure fell rapidly in the air, and when he was about to touch the ground, his form seemed to be subjected to an invisible upward pull, and suddenly stopped in the air.
After freezing for two or three seconds, he landed lightly, his slender figure as light as a piece of catkins.
While he was savoring, his ears suddenly moved, and then he put his hands behind his back, and his body soared into the air, and in just a few jumps, the man had lost his trace in the mountains.
Shangguan Xiu walked back to the small mountain village. Now he has a lot of hair, thick sword eyebrows, and is wearing shabby cloth clothes and trousers, but he can't hide his elegance.
When he walked into the village, there was a lot of shouting.
A middle-aged man with a rich body sat on a horse, holding a scroll of documents in his hand, and said loudly: "The war ahead is tight, and the imperial court has issued a conscription order. There are a total of 27 households in Tiannan Village, and each household must produce at least three strong men, and there are 100 people, so there must be no mistakes!"
Lao Cun was standing aside tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Big ...... My lord, the imperial court has also issued a conscription order before, and at most, each family only needs to send one person, why, why do you have to send three people this time!"
"It used to be before, and now it is now, you old thing is not here to talk to the official, if Tiannan Village can't get together a hundred strong men, the official will ask you!" The rich middle-aged man glanced at the village solemnly coldly.
"My lord, in Fujia Village, ten miles away, there is only one strong man for every three households......"
Before Lao Mura finished speaking, the rich middle-aged man threw a whip on his body and beat Muramasa to the head.
"You are an old immortal, the official said that there are three people in each household in your Tiannan Village, that is, three people in each household, and then the fucking dare to Rory, the official wants your head!"
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers stepped forward one after another, helped Cun Zheng up, and persuaded in a low voice: "Cun Zheng, don't say it anymore, Fujia Village has money, and it must have bought off the government, and our village ...... I can't get that much silver. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu already understood what was going on.
He turned and walked towards Zhang Dahu's home. He brought some gold and silver with him, which he was going to give to the Zhang family and his wife, but the Zhang family and his wife refused to accept it anyway, and now, these gold and silver can come in handy.
When he arrived at Zhang's house, two soldiers came out of it, one of them was dragging Zhang's father, and the other was dragging Zhang Dahu, who was only in his early tens. Zhang's mother and Zhang Dahu's sister and brother followed behind, crying and shouting, begging bitterly.
The soldiers turned a deaf ear to the pleas behind them, escorted the Zhang family father and son, and walked towards the village.
When passing by Shangguan Xiu's side, two soldiers stopped, looked him up and down, raised their hands and pointed at his nose, and asked, "Where are you?"
Father Zhang hurriedly said: "Master Jun, this is Shangguan Gongzi, not from our Tiannan Village, he is just a businessman passing through here and going to Tianjing to do business!"
"Business, the battle ahead is so surprising, and he is a bullshit businessman! Take him away too, just three of them!" The soldier who pulled Zhang's father shook his head at his companion.
Another soldier let go of Zhang Dahu, strode up to Shangguan Xiu, and raised his hand to grab his arm.
Before he could meet Shangguan Xiu, Zhang Dahu suddenly hugged his waist and shouted: "Brother Shangguan, they want to arrest you to fill the army, you go quickly!"
"Little beast, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, right?" the soldier scolded, grabbed Zhang Dahu's neck collar with his hand, and suddenly pulled it forward, throwing him to the ground. And then the leg was kicked and kicked.
Seeing this, Zhang's mother cried and rushed forward to protect Zhang Dahu's body. The soldier did not give up, and he kicked his head and face again.
Just as he was having a good time, he suddenly felt a strange wind blowing on his side, and then his body rose into the air and flew out.
He hit the dirt wall on the side of the road, bounced off the ground, his eyes were scattered, and his face was full of confusion. Don't say that he was at a loss, everyone present was at a loss, and they didn't know why he flew out inexplicably.
The soldier who was holding Zhang's father came back to his senses for a while, he looked at Zhang's father, then at Zhang's mother and Zhang Dahu, who were beaten all over and fell to the ground, and then at Zhang Dahu's sister and two younger brothers, and finally, his eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu, and asked uncertainly: "Just now...... You just cast a hex?"
Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders, that is, he did not admit it, nor did he deny it, and said in an indifferent tone: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, just stop in moderation!" As he spoke, he walked into the small courtyard of the Zhang family.
"Hey, hey, don't go! Stop, boy!"
Shangguan Xiu didn't listen to him at all, he walked straight into the thatched house where he lived, and after a short time, he came out of it, took out a small cloth bag in his hand, and when he arrived outside the courtyard, he calmly swaggered in front of the soldier, and said without looking back: "Let them go, today, you won't take a person from Tiannan Village." ”
"You...... You ......" The soldiers were stunned by the attitude of Shangguan Xiu's old god.
Shangguan Xiu returned to the center of the village and found the middle-aged man on horseback, he stepped forward and said, "My lord!"
The rich middle-aged man looked at him, and when he saw Shangguan Xiu, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you ......?"
In his impression, he had never seen this young man, but the young man's natural temperament was very different from other villagers, and he should not be a villager of Tiannan Village.
Shangguan Xiu didn't have any extra nonsense, threw the small cloth bag in his hand and threw it directly at the middle-aged man. The latter subconsciously caught it and wondered, "What is this?"
"It's a little bit of heart, if you want to find a strong man, please look for it in another place!"
"Hmph!" Hearing this, the rich middle-aged man's face sank, and he snorted coldly, he unwrapped the cloth bag disappreciatively, looked down, and his eyes immediately straightened.
The cloth bag contained not only silver ingots, but also several gold ingots. His eyes widened, his gaze was glazed, and after a long time, he cleared his throat unnaturally, tied the cloth bag again, carefully hung it on his waist, and said with a smile: "Since it was the son who opened his mouth to ask for it, this face was given by the official." After saying that, he waved his hand to the left and right, and shouted, "Let the brothers all come back, let's go to the next village!"
