In the hall of "Small Realm", Nalan Ruoruo's blue eyes were like a pool of water, looking at an old man sitting high above, the old man's beard was white, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones that did not eat the fireworks of the world.

When Nangong Qingwu saw Nalan Ruoruo, her heart suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Nine girls are good, your father is okay!" Then he said to Hou Zipeng and the two: "This is Princess Nalan of the Yan Tribe, you two have seen it quickly!" He also explained to Nalan Ruoruo, "These two are the lonely disciples of Xiaogushan, one is called Hou Zipeng, and the other is called Geng Zibiao, both of whom are famous figures in the Central Plains. ”

Nalan Ruoruo looked at the two middle-aged uncles with unremarkable faces, politely saluted, and did not take them seriously.

"Didn't your master come alone?" Nalan Ruoruo looked at Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao and asked.

She knew the name of Little Lonely Mountain. Her master was also a famous figure in the Central Plains, and at that time he was as famous as Lonely and Boundless, but he left the Central Plains to escape the disaster of war and went to the white mountains and black waters. On weekdays, the master often told her some things about the masters of the Central Plains rivers and lakes, so that she could pay more attention to them when she entered the rivers and lakes in the future.

Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao both showed anger on their faces, and Nalan Ruoruo called the master by his name like this, which embarrassed them.

Nangong Qingwu was very happy, the old man defeated him back then, which also embarrassed him, and he vowed to repay him in the future in order to protect his name. However, he was not good at intensifying the conflict, so he changed the topic and asked, "Girl, how many soldiers and horses did your father let you bring over this time?" ”

Nalan Ruoruo said coquettishly: "Grandpa Nangong knows, according to our agreement, we only brought two thousand fine horses, and my father said that it is not easy to cross into the hinterland if you bring too much, isn't it?" ”

Nangong Qingwu shook his beard, "Well, the two thousand iron cavalry of the Yan Ya are comparable to the ten thousand elite soldiers!" ”

Nalan Ruoruo continued: "But... Grandpa Nangong, even if we all add up our soldiers and horses, plus 20,000 Turkic elite soldiers, but... Shall we alarm those people in advance? ”

Nangong Qingwu hurriedly asked: "Girl, what's the matter... What's going on? ”

So, Nalan Ruoruo told Qiu Fangcheng and An Shunzhi about the conspiracy to rob Ran Jingjing. Then analyzed: "That Ran Jingjing was robbed when she was with Li Chengtang, she is Ran Fei's daughter, it is ruled out that they will use all their strength to find it, not to mention, now that they are protected by the government, Huaiyuan City will inevitably send soldiers and horses to patrol around, that Wang Zhonghei is not a vegetarian, and then he will definitely find out the clues and find out our soldiers and horses hidden outside the city, then all our conspiracy to raid Huaiyuan will be in vain!" ”

The conversation between the two made Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao both frightened, and their faces were cloudy, it turned out that Nangong Qingwu had made so many arrangements, and there were so many forces behind it, and they were inevitably worried about snatching the "Dragon Sword" in their hearts, and they were also more worried about the master's lonely Huaiyuan, I don't know if it was right to cooperate with Nangong Qingwu at the beginning.

Qiu Fangcheng heard the conversation between Nalan Ruoruo and his senior brother in the back room, and he was shocked, and he knew that he was going to suffer. He never expected that this beautiful woman would be a member of that group, and he didn't expect that the boy was Li Chengtang, no wonder his martial arts were so high at that time. Thinking of this, after mentioning Ran Jingjing, she wanted to leave this place, and wanted to go out to avoid the limelight.

Listening to Nalan Ruoruo continue: "For the sake of Ran Jingjing, Jiu'er can't do anything when he sees An Gongzi being arrested, and now we are throwing a rat bogey, Grandpa Nangong, Jiu'er still wants to meet you and quit and go back." ”

Don't look at Nangong Qingwu's white eyebrows and he is as old as an immortal, but he himself is a violent temper, otherwise he would not have challenged the rivers and lakes with a sword at the beginning. This is also the reason why he can't go to the next level in the realm of martial arts, there is a way but no technique, the technique can still be sought, there is a technique but no way, and it stops at the technique. That's why he kept looking for martial arts secrets, wanting to prove the Tao with magic and seek the path of immortal immortality. It's a pity that he hasn't gotten it for many years, and he has moved mortals.

If a person has not made a breakthrough in a certain field for many years, he will either be depressed or will go astray.

Nangong Qingwu belongs to the latter, and he can't become an immortal, so he must leave his name in history and ensure the sustainability of the "Kunlun Void Realm" for thousands of years. So he hit it off with An Lushan and wanted to be the minister of the dragon.

For his junior brother Qiu Fangcheng's martial arts, he has always been very disdainful of the immortal cultivation techniques in the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon". If it weren't for Qiu Fangcheng being the master's only son, Nangong Qingwu would have abolished him a long time ago, and now when he heard that he had ruined his own big thing for a woman, he was furious and shouted: "Qiu Fangcheng! You come out for me! The sound was like a bell, and it spread throughout the courtyard.

Nalan Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief and thought: I hope this move can save the girl's name. She is also very disdainful of Qiu Fangcheng's martial arts that harmed women, and of course she also has a little selfishness in it.

Qiu Fangcheng, who was in the realm of a little grandmaster, heard Nangong Qingwu's roar, and his face was so frightened that he obediently carried Ran Jingjing to the living room, like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down and not saying a word.

Nangong Qingwu looked at Ran Jingjing, not knowing what to do next, and was silent. Ran Jingjing looked at everyone, and her heart was even more uneasy, she knew that she would definitely not be able to survive when she heard such a secret story of rebellion.

Hou Zipeng looked at Ran Jingjing, "Miss, we meet again." Then he said to Nangong Qingwu: "Immortal Chief, don't be angry, Ran Jingjing was arrested, and the younger generation thinks it's a good thing!" ”

Nangong Qingwu asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Hou Zipeng's expression became more respectful, and he continued: "Have you ever thought that Fan Yangbing was robbed and killed, in fact, the news of the plot has been leaked, anyway, they already know about the plot, why are we afraid of making a big fuss, so we will exchange her for the 'Dragon Sword' and the 'Flying Sword Technique', so that the seniors and the family teacher can get what they want effortlessly, isn't it just right!" He wanted to be plotted by Xiao Gushan, and he wanted to win the favor of the master, and in his words, he tried his best to persuade Nangong Qingwu to exchange people for things.

Nangong Qingwu is not a fool, so he can naturally hear it. Fan Yangbing was intercepted and killed not by the Huaiyuan garrison, he knew that so far, Wang Zhongsi was completely defenseless, and now the Jing Ya Jing cavalry was in place, just waiting for the Turkic 20,000 light cavalry to arrive, he could quickly occupy Huaiyuan in the name of clearing bandits, and then the big things he planned could be accomplished, and only a few people in the rivers and lakes did not let himself claim it. Thinking of this, how can you listen to Hou Zipeng's bewitchment. I thought to myself, the top priority was how to rescue An Shunzhi, and at the same time appease the Huaiyuan garrison, so that they would not find it suspicious.

Nangong Qingwu said with a smile: "Hou Xian's nephew is thoughtful, and let the old man think about it carefully." He wanted to borrow the power of Xiao Gushan, and he didn't want to tear his face with Gu Wuya, so he had to use the delaying policy.

But then he didn't have a better plan, so he ordered his subordinates to bring Ran Jingjing into the room to take care of it, and there should be no half-point difference. He turned around and scolded Qiu Fangcheng angrily, told him not to pay attention to it again, and then said to Nalan Ruoruo: "Ninth Princess, the situation is delicate now, there is still a glimmer of life, if it can be done, it will be the best opportunity to expand the territory of the Yan Ministry, I hope that the Jing Ya Elite Cavalry will stay for a few days for the time being, but during this period, the Yan Ya army needs to retreat to Huaiyuan City thirty miles away to hide, so as not to be discovered by the Huaiyuan garrison." ”

After all, this is related to the survival of the Yan Ministry, although Nalan Ruoruo was reluctant before sending troops to the Tang Dynasty, but his father's orders had to be obeyed. When he heard this, he agreed.

After Nangong Qingwu finished speaking to Nalan Ruoruo, he said to Qiu Fangcheng: "You go and inform the remaining Fan Yangjun, let them also retreat to thirty miles away and hide, this time there must be no half-point difference, otherwise you will self-destruct the meridians!" In the end, you don't have to come back when you go, just stay there and wait for my orders. ”

Qiu Fangcheng lowered his head and agreed, and when he left, he didn't forget to squint at Nalan Ruoruo, and Nalan Ruoruo scorned. Nangong Qingwu pretended not to see it and sighed softly.

Waiting for everything to be arranged, it's already evening. Nangong Qingwu asked people to prepare meals and guest rooms for everyone to eat and rest. Although his Taoist heart is not strong and he has entered the mundane, he still keeps a trace of quiet elegance in life, and he is not so good at wine and meat.

Nalan Ruoruo finished the meal politely and said goodbye to Nangong Qingwu, she didn't want to live here, and said that she would rush back to the barracks overnight to arrange the operation. In fact, what she wanted in her heart was to go to Li Chengtang, ready to exchange Ran Jingjing's matter for the "Sun Shooting Bow", about this immortal product, she heard the master say that it is unparalleled. She is also a steppe child, and the Tatans are especially fond of bows and arrows.

It's just that she doesn't know that the "Sun Shooting Bow" already belongs, what if she meets Li Chengtang?

Nangong Qingwu sent Nalan Ruoruo away, because he was worried about An Shunzhi being arrested, he sat on the cloud bed and couldn't settle down for a long time, thinking that this matter was very important, so he covered the door and wanted to go to Huaiyuan City to find out in person.

He became famous very early, and he has not acted in person for many years, not that his martial arts are not high enough, but that he attaches more importance to victory and defeat than other Jianghu people, otherwise he would not have vowed to do one thing for him because he lost to Gu Wuyi, and only asked the two of them not to disclose the sword competition to the rivers and lakes. The sense of victory and defeat also made him easily afraid to make a move, and since the battle with Gu Wuyan, he has not personally fought again.

Such a white-bearded old man regards victory and defeat as more important than life, and it is difficult to go further in the way of the sword, so he turns to the world to fight for the world. No matter what you say, he is a great grandmaster after all, and it is estimated that no one in Huaiyuan City can surpass him. He was confident that he would come and go freely in the lodge and that no one would find him.

But when Nangong Qingwu quietly went out, he was still discovered.

The reason why Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao of Xiaogushan continue to stay in the "small realm" is to wait for this moment. The two of them guessed that Nangong Qingwu would definitely go out of the mountain to check the situation, as long as he went out, the two of them would be sure to control Ran Jingjing in their own hands, and then go to change the "Dragon Sword" and "Flying Sword Technique".

Originally, Hou Zipeng lurked beside Ran Fei because he wanted to secretly attack, but now that he left them after being exposed, everyone in the rivers and lakes knew his secrets, and it was difficult to guarantee that others would get it first, especially Nangong Qingwu's performance made him very uneasy. Li Chengtang's "Dragon Sword" and Ran Fei's "Flying Sword Technique" are things that the master must get in the end, which is related to his future status in Xiaogushan, especially the secret treasures in the "End of the World", he can choose at will.

The rule of Xiaogushan is that those who contribute are rewarded heavily, and those who make mistakes die!

Therefore, Hou Zipeng has been observing Nangong Qingwu's movements, and he doesn't blink his eyes.

Ran Jingjing's looting made the officers and soldiers of the entire Huaiyuan City move.

After all, Li Chengtang and his entourage are the anti-Hu heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court has just sent a commendation order to win them over to serve the country. Not to mention that there is no way to explain to the imperial court, even the festival envoy Wang Zhonghei felt very faceless, because he just finished saying that he wanted to feast them, and someone attacked them.

The Huaiyuan garrison and the Lingzhou Assassin Mansion soldiers were all dispatched, and they searched inside and outside the city to find out the news. There was no news about Ran Jingjing all afternoon and into the evening. However, the investigation found that there had been a major battle twenty miles outside the city, with nearly 2,000 casualties on both sides, which made Wang Zhongji very frightened.

Wang Zhongsi sat in front of the desk in the study, holding the news from all walks of life in one hand, and tapping lightly on the desk with the other, falling into deep thought.

This is a man who has just turned forty years old, with wrinkles engraved on his forehead, and a slight stubble on his face, which must be due to his perennial absence, with dark skin and a little silver thread on his temples. I guess I've been worrying a lot lately, and I look very haggard from being tortured.

The casualties of 2,000 people are by no means a small number, and it is impossible for the vendetta of the Jianghu people, excluding all possibilities, it is only possible to do it by charging and fighting between the armies, but he did not hear the spies report that there are troops.

Wang Zhongsi thought about it, he can go to Lingzhou to serve as the envoy of the festival, naturally he is not an ordinary person, although he has only been in office for less than a year, but he knows the importance of Huaiyuan's position in his heart, and he is inevitably afraid of the enemy's sneak attack. In order to secure his seat, he kept the garrison in a state of precaution at all times. Recently, he heard from the military that the "Xuanjia Army" rushed to Longyou County in order to suppress the rebellion in Tibet, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Which army could this be? It won't be the Turkic cavalry, after the Turkic cavalry slaughtered the Kazakhs, Wang Zhongsi has been sending ranger cavalry to keep a close eye on the movements, and it is reported that they have returned to the depths of the desert, so who could it be?
