Chapter 170: Oil Cut-off
Shangguan Xiu stared at the backs of the dozen or so people and stopped the pursuit.
He sneered, scattered the spirit armor on his body, and retracted the formless onto his wrist.
At this moment, there was a soft sound behind him, Shangguan Xiu didn't even think about it, his right arm stretched back, and the invisible that had originally turned into a bracer instantly turned into a palm knife, pointing directly at the person behind him.
Seeing clearly that it was Tang Wanyun walking behind him, Shangguan Xiu put down his raised arm and retracted it after turning into a palm knife. Tang Wanyun looked at the formlessness on his wrist in amazement and asked, "What kind of weapon is this?"
As a member of the royal family, what kind of treasures and treasures did Tang Wanyun never see, but she really hadn't seen this unpredictable spirit soldier made by Shangguan Xiu, and she hadn't even heard of it.
Shangguan Xiu raised his wrist slightly and said, "It's called invisible." ”
Tang Wanyun subconsciously asked, "Can you lend me a look?" As soon as she said this, she regretted it, such a magical weapon is regarded as a treasure by spiritual cultivators, how can it be easy to borrow someone?
She was about to speak again, but Shangguan Xiu just smiled indifferently, didn't think about it, took the invisible off her wrist and handed it to Tang Wanyun. The latter looked at him in surprise and took the invisible curiously, she only slightly injected her aura into the invisible, and immediately felt that this thing was unusual.
She looked down with great interest, the original wrist-like formless turned into a long stick in her palm, her face showed a look of surprise, her mind moved, and the invisibility turned from the stick into a show sword. She changed the invisible several times in a row, and had a lot of fun.
Shangguan Xiu looked at her with a smile on the side, and it was not until this moment that he felt that Tang Wanyun was not so cold, and she still had a naughty side that matched her age.
"You lent me such a magical spirit soldier, aren't you afraid that I won't return it to you?" When Tang Wanyun spoke, her palm stretched forward flatly, and the invisible turned into a human form in her palm, although the human form was round, Shangguan Xiu could still see that Tang Wanyun had changed the invisible into herself.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "If you want it, it's okay to give it to you." ”
Tang Wanyun wondered if she had heard it wrong, and she looked at Shangguan Xiu in disbelief. The latter restrained his smile and said faintly: "Your visit to Shah this time is not smooth sailing in the country of the wind, and when you arrive in the territory of Shah, I am afraid that it will be even more dangerous, and there will always be less danger with a good spiritual soldier to protect it." ”
Unexpectedly, he would say such a thing, Tang Wanyun's heart pool that was as quiet as water seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, raising layers of ripples.
When she was a child, she was regarded as a prodigy in the royal family, and the nicknames of 'genius' and 'genius' have always accompanied her growth and are expected by people, but there are very few people who really care about her. At this time, Shangguan Xiu's words made her suddenly feel that she was taken care of and melted in an instant.
This strange feeling made her uncomfortable and scared. She pretended to be indifferent and threw the formless in her hand back to Shangguan Xiu, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and said proudly: "The dignified Qingyun County Lord, do you still need to rely on a spirit soldier to protect yourself?
Shangguan Xiu took a deep look at her, didn't say anything more, turned the invisible into a bracer, and put it back on his hand.
Tang Wanyun was annoyed and regretted. I regret that what I said just now was too hurtful, and I was angry that I would regret what I said, Shangguan Xiu was just a criminal minister who was sent to Zhenjun by His Majesty, so why should I care about his feelings?
At this time, her mood was complicated, and even she couldn't sort herself out. She shook her head in distraught, changed her words, and asked, "Why did you deliberately let those people escape just now?"
Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "What I let go is not people, but fear." ”
Tang Wanyun looked at him puzzled, not understanding the meaning of his words.
Shangguan Xiu said: "They are afraid of me like a ghost, and when they return to Jincheng, they will describe everything they have seen more violently, and their fear will also be transmitted to everyone in the rebels." "Putting pressure on the rebels so that the rebels don't dare to act rashly in Jincheng City, this is what Shangguan Xiu really wants.
"Then, you can take the opportunity to sneak up on Dexing?"
"That's right!"
"You're so cunning!"
"Thank you for the praise of the county lord. ”
"Giggles!" Tang Wanyun was amused by Shangguan Xiu, not the kind of false laughter, but a smile from the heart.
Her smile made Shangguan Xiu a little shaken, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, 'Looking back and smiling, a hundred flowers make a spring dynasty.' ’
"You're really thick-skinned, do you think I'm complimenting you?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled silently.
After a while, he stretched and said, "Presumably, the rebels will not dare to steal oil again tonight, and we can go back to the camp to rest." ”
Tang Wanyun smiled dumbly, she walked out of the forest with Shangguan Xiu, and said, "The day after tomorrow, I will leave for Shahe." ”
Shangguan Xiu just felt that she had become more harmonious with Tang Wanyun, and she was about to leave, feeling a little lost in her heart. He asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you would wait until the war on my side had a result?"
Tang Wanyun shook her head and said, "I don't have to wait that long, I have seen the results now." ”
A cunning person like Shangguan Xiu couldn't even guess his thoughts, let alone the rebels? Although the war had just begun, Tang Wanyun had already expected that Shangguan Xiu would definitely win.
Shangguan Xiu couldn't keep Tang Wanyun, and her envoy to Shah was a major matter related to the life and death of the Wind Country. He said with a straight face: "This trip is dangerous, the county lord should be more careful!"
She is strong and powerful, but the good tiger can't stand the wolf, she is covered in iron and can crush a few nails?
Tang Wanyun's heart warmed, she turned her head, glanced at Shangguan Xiu with a smile, and said: "You don't have to worry about me, you are exterminating the rebels in Zhenxi and stabilizing the situation in Zhenxi as soon as possible, which is the greatest support for me!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded and said nothing more.
To make a long story short, Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun returned to the Jinchuan military camp, and as soon as they walked into the Zhongjun tent, they saw Luo Ren and others standing inside.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu coming back, everyone was shocked, and they came forward one after another, asking, "Brother Xiu, where have you been, we are all looking for you!"
"Is something wrong?"
"Mr. Dongzhe was right, just now, the rebels from Jincheng came to steal the camp, but they were attacked head-on by our army, and now they have been defeated and returned to Jincheng, and our army has captured many of them!" Luo Ren said excitedly.
Shangguan Xiu smiled when he heard this, sure enough, it is still the people in the rivers and lakes who know the thoughts of the people in the rivers and lakes best, with Dong Zhe here, it will be much easier for his side to deal with the rebels of Feihua Pavilion. He said, "Well done! From where did the rebels attack?"
"It's from the Nanying sneak attack!" Luo Ren said with a smile: "This time, Li Qiu and I guarded the Nanying together, made a lot of efforts, and also killed a lot of rebels!"
Shangguan Xiu nodded, turned his gaze, looked at Li Qiu, and asked with a smile, "Good job." You have killed the enemy this time, what reward do you want?"
Li Qiu hurriedly bowed his hand, and was about to say that he wanted to be a partial general in the county lieutenant like Chang Feng, but suddenly remembered what Dongzhe had said to him.
He swallowed back the words that came to his lips and said, "My lord, I ...... I want to join the Shura Hall!"
Shangguan Xiu blinked and asked, "Why did you join the Shura Hall?"
Li Qiu scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Only by joining the Shura Hall can I be brothers with Brother Xiu, if I don't join the Shura Hall, even if I achieve a high position, I am only a subordinate of an adult!"
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, Li Qiu looked like a straight person, and he seemed to have no scheming, but in fact, he was not stupid at all, and he could clearly distinguish the stakes. He remained silent and asked casually, "Is that what you think in your heart?"
"Yes...... Be...... Actually, Mr. Dongzhe told me!" Li Qiu whispered.
Dong Zhe sighed secretly beside him, Shangguan Xiu laughed, Luo Ren and the others also laughed dumbly, Li Qiu is really honest and cute.
Looking at the laughing crowd around him, Li Qiu asked cautiously, "My lord, ...... me Can't I join the Shura Hall?"
"Why not?" Shangguan Xiu restrained his smile and said to Luo Ren: "Ah Ren, Li Qiu will serve in your Zuo Branch Hall in the future, what position do you think is better for Li Qiu?"
Luo Ren thought for a while and said, "How about being the deputy flag master in Amu's Qinglong Banner?"
Shangguan Xiu has no opinion, now that Yuan Mu is seriously injured, there is no one in charge of the Qinglong Banner, and it is good for Li Qiu to be in charge for a period of time, and Yuan Mu is cautious, Li Qiu is impulsive, and the two of them work together, and their temperaments can complement each other. He replied, "Okay, just do what you want!"
Li Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a big grin: "Thank you Brother Xiu for making it happen!"
Shangguan Xiu turned his gaze, looked at Dong Zhe, and asked, "How about Mr. Dong Zhe also join the Zuo Branch?"
Dongzhe hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Brother Xie Xiu is promoted!"
Since the people of the White Shirt Army want to join the Shura Hall, it means that they are willing to stay by their side and do things, and Shangguan Xiu will naturally fulfill them. After putting the personnel arrangements behind for a while, Shangguan Xiu changed his words and said: "Just now, the reason why I was not in the camp was because I went to the oil pit outside the eastern city of Jincheng. ”
"Oh?"
"Today, the rebels of Jincheng poured a lot of fire oil into the ditch under the city, and I thought that there was not much fire oil left in the city, so I went to the oil pit to wait. The rebels of Feihua Pavilion really went to the oil pit to smuggle oil, although I beat them away this time, but we can't take it lightly, and we must send special personnel to guard near the oil pit to prevent the Feihua Pavilion rebels from secretly transporting fire oil into the city again. ”
Dongzhe nodded his head and praised: "Brother Xiu is still careful, and I can't take this into account either." Fire oil is a sharp weapon for Jincheng's city defense, and if Jincheng's fire oil is broken, Jincheng's city defense will be weakened by at least thirty percent!"
