Shangguan Xiu was almost angry when he heard this, Huan Dou protected him? Huan Dou always protected his physical body, and he just wanted to use his physical body as a hostel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If he knew it this way before, it would be true, but after burning and devouring Guan Tong with the soul of the dark fire, Huandou's attitude towards Shangguan Xiu did have a subtle change.

Sacred pools, temples.

Shangguan Xiu went and returned, but when he left, he was alone, and when he came back, he became three people. The Holy Maiden had already communicated with the four Great Elders in advance, and now the four Great Elders were not surprised by Huan Dou and Di Ming's visit.

Wei Jue first took the unconscious Zhang Chong over, touched his pulse, and then turned back and nodded to the holy woman, indicating that Zhang Chong was still alive.

Huan Dou smiled indifferently and said: "Don't worry, this time Xuanling Palace and Shenchi will cooperate again, and I, as the Holy King of Xuanling Palace, must always show some sincerity. As he spoke, he looked at the saint and asked with a smile: I wonder if the saint is also willing to show some sincerity?

In front of the old monster Huandou, the holy woman was not frightened, the expression on her face was indifferent and cold, and she asked: What is the sincerity of what the Holy King said?

Huan Dou said: It is up to you and me to judge Zhang Chong together.

The holy woman's eyes flashed, and she said bluntly: The holy king proposed to interrogate Zhang Chong, but to put it mildly, he still didn't trust Shenchi, and he was afraid that Shenchi would come out with important news, so he wouldn't take it out and share it with you. This does not seem to be a sign of sincerity.

Huan Dou was stunned, looked up and smiled, and said: The so-called defense is indispensable, I do this, it is also a villain first, and then a gentleman, and I hope that the saint will not be surprised.

The holy woman's eyes lowered, she pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes."

The smile on Huan Dou's face deepened, and he said meaningfully: Hundreds of years ago, Xuanling Palace and Shenchi joined forces once, and now, we are continuing the frontier.

The saint said with a different point: A hundred years have passed, and with a flick of a finger, the mountains and rivers are still the same, but things are not human, but these words do not apply to the holy king.

Huan Dou continued: For eternity, it is not a kind of desolation to witness everything around us changing the sun and the moon, the old and the new.

The Holy Maiden shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's why the Holy King is going to take a risk, and I can understand the Saint King's state of mind.

Huandou narrowed his eyes, looked directly at the saint, and did not say more. The conversation between the two of them was very vague, and the people who could understand it were Shangguan Xiu, Li Zhen and Di Ming.

The battle of words is not the purpose of this cooperation between the two sides, and the saint can still distinguish the importance. She waved her hand and said, "This is not a place to speak, please invite the Holy King and the Emperor Venerable to the inner room."

Huan Dou nodded, but did not immediately go to the inner room with the saint and the others, but walked to the idol at the end of the main hall, flicked the placket of his clothes, and then bowed respectfully to the ground and bowed forward.

He was born in Shenchi, but when he was still a baby waiting to be fed, he was taken away from his hometown by the four of Miao Tu Emperor Ming Zhan and Pei Ying, and he had no impression of Shenchi.

They had sworn that Eternal Life would never step into the Divine Pond again, and this time he would not stand in the Divine Pond unless the situation was urgent.

Now seeing the holy gods enshrined in the temple, Huandou suddenly felt a sense of homecoming, and his heart was sour, and he had mixed tastes.

He was originally a native of Shenchi, but he was destined to be banished from the country, leaving a foreign land and living a life of exile. Huandou's mood can't be understood by others, but Di Ming can understand it too much.

Seeing Huan Dou kowtowing in front of the statue, Di Ming's eyes darkened, he untied the soul-killing sword under his ribs, put it aside, came to Huan Dou's back, carefully tidied up the clothes on his body, and then knelt on the ground and bowed forward.

The actions of the two of them made the Holy Maiden and the Great Elders of the Divine Pool a little unable to react, and they didn't know what kind of madness the two of them smoked.

The saint looked at Shangguan Xiu with an inquiring gaze, and the latter could understand a little.

Pei Ying until he died, he thought that not being able to return to his roots was the biggest regret in his life, and begged him to bring his ashes back to the divine pool.

Shangguan Xiu said: Drifting away, no matter how far away from home and how long it takes, in the end, I will still be homesick and want to go home.

No matter how big the world is, no matter how prosperous the world is, the most haunting place is still your hometown after all.

His tone was very flat, but to everyone's ears, he felt a sense of desolation. Everyone looked at Huan Dou and Di Ming's eyes, and their vigilance and hostility were a little less, and at the same time, they were a little more sympathetic.

When Huan Dou and Di Ming finished worshipping the statue and came over again, Shangguan Xiu said: Pei Ying's ashes have been buried in the divine pool.

Huandou nodded, and after a long time, he thanked him in a low voice, and asked again: Is the scenery there beautiful?

Seeing Shangguan Xiu looking at him puzzled, Huan Dou muttered: Master Pei has always liked beautiful places, and he said that it reminded him of his former hometown.

The saint answered: The scenery has always been beautiful, the green mountains and clear waters, for thousands of years, it has never changed.

Unexpectedly, Shenchi could bury Pei Ying's ashes in the Mausoleum of the Elders, but Master Pei finally fulfilled his last wish, returned to his roots, and was accepted by Shenchi.

Huandou showed a pleased smile, and when he looked at the saint, his eyes softened a lot, and he said with a smile: I owe the saint a favor.

Di Ming looked at Huandou in surprise. It's not easy to get Huandou to say that he owes everyone a favor. If you owe favors, you will have to pay them back in the future, and Huandou's temperament has always been true to her word.

The holy woman didn't think so, and said nonchalantly: The holy king is polite.

Everyone was walking to the inner room, and Mo Yun hurriedly walked in from outside the main hall. Seeing this, the saint stopped, looked at the eager Mo Yun, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Mo Yun nodded and said, "Holy Maiden, there is an urgent message from Shangjing to His Highness.

Shangguan Xiu stepped forward and asked, "Who came to deliver the letter?"

It's General Wu Yufei Wu.

Shangguan Xiu's heart was shocked, and Yu Fei came to deliver the letter in person, and I am afraid that the matter will be different: Take it to me.

Mo Yun handed a small bamboo tube for carrier pigeons to Shangguan Xiu. The bamboo tube is very small, not as big as a little finger, pull out the lid, pour it outward, and a roll of paper slides out inside.

Shangguan Xiu opened the note and looked at it closely, there was not much content in it, only a few sentences.

This is a battle report from Dooki. Since General Wei Shi Xiao took charge of the army, the Feng army has won successive battles in Duji, and Shi Xiao has marched eastward, repeatedly compressing the occupied area of the Ningnan army.

When Shi Xiao led the army to capture the city of Qiao, the morale of the Feng army was already unprecedentedly high.

The city of Zio is located to the west of Haji, the capital of Duki, only three hundred miles from Haji, and after capturing Zio, the wind army can reach Haji if it pushes further east. If Haji can be defeated, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to a decisive victory for the Wind Army in the Duki War.

Shi Xiao gathered four legions and an army of 400,000 in Zio, and advanced eastward to take Haji. As a result, on the way to Haji, they were besieged by the Ningnan people's five-way army. Among them, Xin Jiyao personally led the Ningnan Third Army, which was also a light cavalry army, which penetrated directly into the wind army and cut off the 400,000 wind army. The second half of the wind army was forced to retreat back, and the first half of the wind army led by Shi Xiao could no longer retreat, and more than 200,000 soldiers were surrounded by the five corps in Ningnan.

After just one day of fighting, the more than 200,000 wind troops lost 80,000 people, and the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

The remnants of the Wind Army were no longer able to break through and were trapped in the plains between the two cities of Zio and Haji. As for the current situation, whether the trapped wind army broke through by luck or was completely annihilated, it was not mentioned in the battle report.

After reading this battle report, Shangguan Xiu's head buzzed. In the biography he gave Shi Xiao, he had repeatedly reminded him not to rush forward or underestimate the enemy, but Shi Xiao completely ignored his words.

The so-called Duki battlefield is actually the defensive line arranged by the Feng army at the junction of Duji and Ningnan, in order to prevent Ningnan's million-strong army from retreating from Duji to Ningnan.

And where are Haji and Zio? It was in the heart of Dooky.

Shi Xiao led his army from the border of the two places into the central hinterland of the people, could he not be ambushed? Can he not be besieged by several large armies of the people? Does Lian Zhan Lianjie really make him think that the Ningnan army is a rabble that is vulnerable?

After reading the war report, Shangguan Xiu clenched the note in his hand into a ball, and said in a condensed voice: The soldiers are incompetent, only one person dies, the generals are incompetent, and the country will be destroyed!

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's angry words, the faces of everyone present changed. Huan Dou and Di Ming also looked at Shangguan Xiu curiously. The saint asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: I have to go back to Shangjing immediately. The affairs of Shenchi and Xuanling Palace are not for me, a worldly person, to interfere in, but I also hope that Shenchi and Xuanling Palace can handle their own affairs and not affect the world in the future.

After speaking, he arched his hand to the Holy Maiden and Huandou, and before the two of them could reply, he had turned and walked out quickly.

The army of 400,000 is in danger, and the Feng army is on the verge of collapse on the Duki battlefield, this matter is not trivial, how can Shangguan Xiu not be in a hurry?

He left the temple, descended the holy mountain, and saw Wu Yufei waiting there at the foot of the mountain.

Brother Xiu! Wu Yufei intervened to give a salute.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and asked, "Has the imperial court received the battle report?"

Wu Yufei said: The ministers of the DPRK and China have now gathered in the Baohe Hall to ask Your Majesty to deal with the Duki war.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu's face was gloomy, and he didn't ask any more questions, took the reins handed by Wu Yufei, turned over his horse, and went straight to Beijing with Wu Yufei.

After leaving Shenchi, Shangguan Xiu abandoned his horse and rushed to Shangjing first.

Imperial Palace, Bohol Hall.

The Bohol Hall is not a main hall, but a side hall, where the emperor and his ministers held small meetings.

It is said to be a partial hall, but the scale is not much different from the Jinluan Palace, and now dozens of ministers are gathered in it, and there is still a lot of space around.

Tang Ling sat on the dragon chair on the high platform, his elbows on the table, and his forehead with his bare hands. Just two days ago, Du Ji had just sent back the good news of conquering Zio, who would have thought that only two days had passed, Du Ji had sent back the bad news, half of the 400,000 troops of the Wind Country were trapped between Qi O and Haji, half were trapped in the city of Qio, 400,000 troops, the situation was critical, and their lives were on the line.

When the ministers were discussing with each other, Cai Xiao walked out of the crowd and said to Tang Ling: Your Majesty, Shi Xiao is incompetent, misguided by the army and the country, Your Majesty should replace the commander of the former army as soon as possible!

What Lord Cai said was timely, and His Majesty should replace the commander of the former army as soon as possible! The rest of the ministers echoed one after another.

Tang Ling's eyes drooped, and the question now was not whether to change the commander, but how to rescue the trapped soldiers. If the commander is replaced, will 400,000 soldiers be saved?

Not long ago, your lords were full of praise for General Shi's successes in the battle, how could it be that a defeat made you all change the commander with such a unanimous voice?

As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu walked in from outside, he glanced at the ministers of civil and military affairs on the left and right, and asked: I don't know which general you think is appropriate to replace General Shi?
