Following.

It was already three poles in the morning, Xiao Cong returned to the holy city under the moat, he looked up, but did not see General Zhang in heavy armor, and asked his soldiers to know that General Zhang was called away by the four princes last night because of the unauthorized release of himself out of the city.

Xiao Cong lamented, he originally promised the four uncles that he would not cause trouble for them in the matter of building the formation, but who knew that it was only two days, and the four uncles should have worried about themselves twice, and they also implicated this stinky matter on General Zhang, Xiao Cong's hatred blamed himself for thinking about things too simply.

So he galloped all the way to Wangbeilou without stopping, and saw General Zhang standing at the door with a fading face.

"I'm really sorry, because of my matter, the general, you are here to suffer, please accept Xiao Cong's worship. ”

Xiao Cong was just about to bend over, but was held by General Zhang,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao is talking about this,"

General Zhang said with a wry smile:

"The prince didn't transfer me here because of you. ”

"Why is that?" Xiao Cong asked.

"Last night, because an unknown demon entered the city without authorization, and was arrested by my soldiers in the process of burning more than a dozen houses, alas, you said that at this juncture, the people are already panicking, after this trouble, isn't it adding fuel to the fire. ”

General Zhang beat his chest and sighed a few times.

Hearing this, Xiao Cong had already guessed seven or eight points about the arsonist, and he asked cautiously:

"Then, I don't know if the general has captured the demon and brought it to justice?"

"That demon is agile, not physical, and it is not easy to arrest him. ”

Xiao Cong said to himself in his heart:

"It's easier said than done? I haven't caught it yet, so scare me!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it on his lips, Xiao Cong slapped his palms a few times and said angrily:

"These brutes, who specialize in these robbery while the fire is burning, if you want me to say, they should all be arrested and imprisoned in the soul refining array, so that they can't survive or die!"

"I've heard for a long time that Fourth Young Master Xiao is very intelligent, I don't know what kind of good plan Fourth Young Master Xiao has?" General Zhang turned his face, looked at Xiao Cong, and said with a straight face.

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Cong touched his nose lightly and thought for a while, how could he not know that the general was testing him - he went out of the city last night, and the demon who set the fire absconded last night, the relationship between the two is not reminiscent, not to mention General Zhang, who has been in the army for many years.

"We don't know anything about his habits, so we don't have a way to capture him, so in my opinion, you should still shoot your soldiers to investigate secretly before making plans, and the key is not to startle the snake lightly. ”

General Zhang lowered his eyes and thought quietly, his thumb and index finger twisted back and forth with each other, and it seemed that he still felt that Xiao Cong's nonsense was quite reasonable.

"Well, what Fourth Young Master Xiao said is very true, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will make one invincible, so let's do it next. ”

Then, General Zhang hugged his fists and said:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao take care and say goodbye first. ”

Xiao Cong clenched his fists and saluted back: "General Zhang, take care, all the fortresses must be guarded in the past few days, but you can't let that demon run away." ”

"Remember, farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Looking at the figure of General Zhang getting farther and farther away, the corners of Xiao Cong's mouth slowly hooked a smug smile, he didn't expect that his few nonsense words would coax the Zhang family, who is a general, to be stunned, with this qualification, it's really a pity not to be a play, if he doesn't say it, if he dares to be a play, it is estimated that he will have to let his master and his father beat him to death!

Xiao Cong walked into the inner courtyard, climbed the stairs step by step, turned around and entered a long corridor, walked along the corridor all the way in, at the end of the corridor, in the last room, Xiao Cong saw Xing Guanghao and his party.

"The little nephew Xiao Cong has seen four uncles. Xiao Cong bowed and said respectfully.

"Virtuous nephew, please get up quickly. Xing Guanghao sat on the mahogany Taishi chair in the middle and raised his hand slightly.

"Four Uncles......"

Xiao Cong had a bitter smile and was about to speak, but was intercepted by Xing Guanghao:

"Yesterday's matter does not need to be mentioned again, yesterday is dead, today is newborn, we believe that the nephew is burdened by the construction of the array, I don't know how the matter of the formation is going, can the nephew talk about it here. ”

Xiao Cong looked at Xing Guanghao's face, half loud, and said:

Xiao Congcai is shallow in learning, not deep in knowledge, after the discussion in the middle hall, he returned to the post house and thought for a long time, and felt that instead of building a few complex high-level formations, it was better to build a few more simple low-level formations, which not only saved time, but also did not lose half of the high-level formations in terms of defensive effect. ”

The four people in front of the hall bowed their heads one after another, and at this time, Leng Yikong asked Xiao Cong as if jokingly:

"I said Xiao eldest nephew, after talking about the formation of the formation, tell us about the arson demon, Zhang Meng's kid probably told you on the road, now, we want to hear your opinion. ”

Xiao Cong choked for a while, he didn't expect Leng Yikong to ask such a question anyway, he couldn't take out the set that fooled Zhang Meng and coax these four again, you know, these people are not fuel-efficient lamps - the loess is buried to the waist, and even the eyelashes are empty.

Xiao Cong smiled shyly, shyly:

"Where do I start...... I ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just from when you left the city last night. Leng Yikong waved his hand casually.

"I ...... I just listened to General Zhang for a while, and I'm still confused, the holy city is heavily guarded, how did that thing sneak into the city?"

This was Xiao Cong's sincere words, he really couldn't imagine that there were so many heavily armored soldiers guarding the tall and broad city walls, just with the current cultivation level of the Flamephil Beast, how did he get in. ”

"Boy, you're not honest!" Leng Yikong leaned over, stretched out a finger, and pointed at Xiao Congdao.

Xiao Cong smiled bitterly to avoid Leng Yikong's slightly aggressive gaze, and took out a dead pig posture that was not afraid of boiling water, and said:

"Second Uncle Leng, I don't know anything, what do you want me to say. ”

Leng Yikong sat down again, looked at Xing Guanghao who was sitting next to him, Xing Guanghao was full of smiles, and slowly spoke:

"Virtuous nephew, why didn't you bring back the broken box you brought when you went out of the city?"

Xiao Cong's face did not blush, and his heart did not beat:

"Uncle Xing, I threw it away. ”

Xing Guanghao stroked his beard and laughed, and then asked:

"You killed the flame-loving beast in there?"

Xiao Cong pretended to be surprised,

"Hey, Uncle Xing, how do you know, it's just a red-haired beast, what's the harm in killing it. ”

"Ha, ha, ha......" The four people in the hall looked at each other, all of them leaned forward and backwards, although Xiao Cong didn't know what he had done, but on the surface he still had to make a look of indifference, in fact, he was already beating the drum in his heart,

"What the hell are these old guys selling?"

Half a sound, and when they had laughed enough, Leng Yikong fell into the well and said:

"Virtuous nephew, you won't really slaughter that old fellow, I can tell you that the patriarch of the flame-loving beast disappeared for no reason a few days ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown, maybe the flame-loving beast you killed last night is the patriarch of the missing flame-loving beast. ”

"Virtuous nephew, God has the virtue of a good life, how can you, a person who cultivates immortals, do this thing that hurts the heavens and peace, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't. Ouyang Aotian was heartbroken, his acting skills were better than his son Ouyang Xun,

Xiao Cong slandered: "Sure enough, what kind of Lao Tzu you have, what kind of son you have to have." ”

"Virtuous nephew," Xing Guanghao smiled, although it was not as obvious as the others, but it still made Xiao Cong feel a little uncomfortable, "This matter started because of you, then it is up to you to put an end to this matter, the patriarch of the Flamephile Beast is not an evil person, and yesterday's arson must have been a last resort, now, as the Xuanzhen Imperial King, I order you to secretly capture him and settle him properly, you can take the order?"

Xiao Cong flattened his mouth and looked around with an intriguing gaze, he now finally knew what the intentions of these four old guys were.

Xiao Cong slowly bowed down, and said weakly: "Xiao Cong received the order, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the king." ”

"Well, you go back, the matter of building a formation is imminent, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will pay more attention. ”

Xiao Cong hummed, nodded, bowed again, and walked out without looking back, and there were a few cold and empty laughter faintly behind him:

"Heh, little doll, it's quite temperamental......"

Walking through the long corridor, walking down the long steps, and walking out of the Wangbei Building, Xiao Cong thought while walking, from beginning to end, the old guy in Yuwen Qian just laughed and never said a word, but he knew that this matter was exposed by this old fox, and the idea was also made by this old fox, thinking of his thief-eyed stick like Xiao Cong, he felt a burst of disgust,

"If you say you want to explain the task, just explain it, how can I, Xiao Cong, disobey orders after being a famous family!"

Xiao Cong felt a sense of teasing for the first time since Tiandaoxuan came out, his dignity was damaged, and he was extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't feel anything special when he felt it carefully, but he was a little panicked in his heart.
