Mowgli transforms into a human form and lands beside the giant. Seeing this, the giant quickly turned over and knelt down, bowing his head and saluting.

"Great power teacher. ”

Mowgli nodded in return, stretched out his hand, and covered the top of the giant's head, his mind was like a sea, instantly invading, and searching the giant's whole body.

The giant was fine, except that there were some places where they were torn by overexertion, and some of them were out of force. With the strong physical strength of a giant, it's no problem to rest for a while.

"Open your mouth. Wuji shouted, stuffed a handful of Guiyuan Dan into the giant mouth, his figure flashed, turned into a streamer, and returned to the National Teacher's Palace. Lin Ziyue and the others immediately greeted him and looked at Wuji with eager eyes.

"It's been a success, but there are a few small issues that need to be adjusted. Wuji smiled bitterly: "The wind does not end, and the rainstorm does not end." The greater the power, the more energy is needed, which is a huge test for the supply of Guiyuan Dan. ”

Ying Yiran bowed slightly, and her face was worried. After watching the giants' performance, she immediately estimated the combat effectiveness of these giants. In small battles, these giants can dominate and devastate, and once they encounter a large number of opponents, they must encounter a dilemma of being unable to sustain themselves.

And what they have to face is an enemy that can easily be tens of thousands. Great Qin originally had five major legions, with a total of nearly six million people, and even after the Xianyang War, the total strength was still more than four million, with an overwhelming advantage. Judging from the current situation, even if Xiahou Mengde sent the crippled Longxiang Legion, they would not be able to resist.

However, Ying Yiye didn't say anything. First, in front of everyone, she wants to maintain the dignity of the great teacher. One is that she has an inexplicable trust in Mowgli. Since Mowgli said that it was basically successful, there would be no insurmountable difficulties.

Wuji ordered the stones and wood to feed the Hundred Variation Pill to the remaining giants, and then fed a large number of Guiyuan Pills. Quietly waiting for them to transform.

After a period of waiting, the giants have been transformed, including bears and tigers, turtles and snakes, giants, and ordinary sizes, and so on. Relatively. The condition of the average body type is much better. Of course, the so-called ordinary body size is still comparable to the giant beasts of the Great Qin Empire.

When all ten giants were transformed, Wuji ordered them all to be sent to the shrine to recuperate. With the help of the vitality gathered by the Lonely Tower, the realm is stabilized. Say a thousand, say 10,000, or how much vitality. Guiyuan Dan can save a momentary emergency, but it cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities.

Arrange it all. Mowgli returned to the National Teacher's Palace. Ying Yiran and Lin Ziyue followed. Wuji looked at them and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, you're depressed, aren't you happy?"

Ying Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed a relaxed smile. "Now I'm happy. ”

"That's it, are you still happy?" Lin Ziyue was puzzled. "Can you go to war like this?"

"Ziyue, there is no perfect warrior in the world, there must be advantages and disadvantages. Whether you can win or not depends on how you use it. Even if it is not deformed. We're not weak now. What do you have to worry about. ”

Lin Ziyue shrugged. "Since you say so, then I'm relieved. Brother, you still help me figure out a way, I feel more and more irritable lately, I always want to get angry and hit people, am I having mania?"

"You're hungry. Mowgli glared at her. "Go to the Jade Palace, and let Sister Yuling make you some fire defeat to relieve your hunger. Don't steal Guiyuan Dan and Baichang Dan again, now I'm short on money, and I can't be so loser anymore. ”

"Oh. Lin Ziyue stuck out her tongue, made a grimace, went out, summoned the flying sky to ward off evil spirits, and took off.

"Is she really on fire?" said Ying.

"I don't know. Mowgli's face became heavy. "At the realm of Ziyue, there are many things that we can't understand at the moment, so we can only take one step at a time. ”

Ying Yiran nodded and looked at Wuji gratefully. "Mowgli, thank you for your hard work. I don't know if I could hold on without you. ”

Mowgli laughed. "You don't have to thank me. I'm for myself. If the mainland loses its vitality, I am also one of the victims. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to bother with these things. ”

Ying Yiran smiled and did not argue.

......

Li Ze walked into Afang Palace, his steps were a little hesitant, and his waist, which had always been straight, was no longer straight, as if in just two months, he had aged dozens of years and turned into an old man.

These two months were the most difficult months of his life.

He was ordered to inspect the population, land, and property of the Ying and Mongolian families, and to raise funds for the newly established empire. These two are both millennium families, intertwined, and populous, and it is not easy to find out. But for Li Ze, the real trouble is not these trivial jobs, but the involvement of the two families with other families.

The seven surnames intermarry with each other, and if they are thoroughly investigated, they will inevitably implicate other families. To what extent? This scale is not easy to grasp. If the investigation is deep, the backlash caused is too great, and he may become a scapegoat. The investigation is shallow, and it can't satisfy the Son of Heaven. If you ask every time, it will seem that he is not assertive.

Li Ze racked his brains, but still caused a lot of trouble. The Son of Heaven sent him for questioning, and it is said that someone sued him, accusing him of communiquing personal vendetta and being greedy for ink and self-enrichment. This crime can be big or small, it is all in the mind of the Son of Heaven, and what Li Ze is most unsure of now is the mind of the Son of Heaven.

Walking into Afang Palace, Li Ze first saw a familiar back, a young and upright back.

Li Ze's heart tightened, there was an indescribable resentment, and there was a faint uneasiness.

The great teacher of the Heavenly Academy ordered Hu Minzhi.

For Ling Hu Minzhi to serve as a great teacher, Li Ze was full of contempt. Ying Ziqing had already become a laughing stock when he served as a great master in the third order of the Xuan Realm, making Hu Minzhi's realm worse than Ying Ziqing, only the second order of the Xuan Realm. Such a person serving as the great teacher of the Heavenly Academy and becoming the head of the Seven Academies is not convincing at all. What he relied on was nothing more than betraying the merits of Yingdang and the Meng family.

Li Ze stepped forward and saluted Xiahou Mengde first. As soon as he bowed down, Xiahou Mengde chuckled: "Li Guoshi, you seem to have made a mistake." ”

Li Ze knew it, but he pretended to be at a loss. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Got something wrong?"

"The great division is the division of the empire. You should first bow to the Great Master. ”

Li Ze turned around and glanced at Linghu Minzhi, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. "It turned out to be a great power teacher. Disrespectful and disrespectful. These days are busy, I have read too many account books, my eyesight is poor, and I ask the great teacher to see the cold. ”

For Li Ze's thoughts, Hu Min knew it at a glance and didn't care. At this point, Li Ze no longer has any power to resist. All he could do was play a few tricks.

It turned out that Li Guoshi was poor in eyesight, no wonder he had read the wrong numbers. Ling Hu Minzhi glanced at the account book on the imperial case. "Li Guoshi, you can check it again. That's a big difference. ”

Li Ze's heart tightened, and he secretly glanced at Xiahou Mengde. In front of the Son of Heaven, Ling Hu Minzhi accused him of making mistakes in his accounts, which should have been tacitly approved by the Son of Heaven. If that's the case. Then it's not easy to say today.

"I also ask the great teacher for advice. ”

Linghu Minzhi threw an account book in front of Li Ze. The mouth is like a river of explanations. He reported it one by one, Li Ze followed and picked it up, but he couldn't keep up with the speed, and the problems pointed out by Ling Hu Minzhi were all questions that he hid deeply, but in front of Ling Hu Minzhi, these problems were all exposed and there was nothing to hide.

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Ze's forehead, shiny. The breath also became heavy.

Ling Hu Minzhi actually has such memory and calculation ability? This is not what a second-order person in the Xuan Realm should have. He boasted that his mental arithmetic ability was outstanding, but in front of Ling Hu Minzhi. He was just as willing to bow down.

"The great master is very attentive. Li Zeqiang said with a smile.

"It's not that I mean it, it's that you're too clumsy. Linghu Minzhi snorted, bowed to Xiahou Mengde, and walked away, never looking at Li Ze again.

Li Ze was furious, but helpless. Linghu Min's saint is long, and he has the identity of a great teacher, so he can do this, but he can't.

"Shuxian, I know that you have done a lot of things during this time, and you have worked very hard, and you have gray hair at a young age. Xiahou Mengde stood up and paced to Li Ze's side, looking distressed. "Well, then, you should rest for a while, and then you will take care of your body, and then you will deliberate. ”

Li Ze sweated like a pulp. He remembered his teacher Yin Congzhou. Yin Congzhou was robbed of the position of national teacher by Ying Da in this way, and he also played a key role at that time. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, the same fate fell on his head.

But what could he say?

"Only, thank Your Majesty for your care, and the minister will retire. ”

Li Ze saluted, slowly withdrew from the main hall, and walked out of the Afang Palace step by step along the long steps.

A carriage stopped outside the palace, and Ling Hu Minzhi sat on the car, looking at Li Ze with a blank face. Li Ze was stunned for a moment, walked up to Linghu Minzhi, and said with a forced smile: "You won." ”

"How did the gentleman die, do you remember?"

"Yes. ”

"That's good. Ling Hu Minzhi waved his hand, and the carriage started. Linghu Minzhi's voice came like mourning. "Senior brother, I will bury you next to Mr. so that you can have the opportunity to receive his teachings again. Perhaps, you will know why this is the case. ”

Li Ze's cheeks twitched twice, and he sighed.

......

Where and how she went, she couldn't remember.

The scenery, the clouds, and even the wind with different smells are all vividly remembered, but the location is completely forgotten.

...... Except for Crouching Tiger Town.

No matter how many roads he walked, no matter how many jungles and hills he passed, Gai Hong met the person he never forgot in a place that he could never forget.

She rode a horse at first, but when she ran out of money, she had to sell her horse and ride the delivery cart through town to town.

Climbing over mountain after mountain, her red clothes had rotted into rags, and all that was left was the greatsword, which she used as a crutch or a pillow for sleeping.

If there is a temple, a ruined temple, an ownerless old house, and any other place where you can sleep, Gai Hong can find a corner and hold her giant sword to fall asleep.

Sometimes she begged to sleep in the inn, and sometimes she slept in a mass grave.

For her, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. All she wanted was a good night's sleep in a strange place.

When she woke up that day, Gai Hong found that she had unknowingly entered a plateau.

Before the morning sun rose, she shivered with the cold, and with her strength she could barely resist the biting cold.

Today's sun is also exceptionally good, with a clear blue sky, which indicates strong sunlight.

"Let's have some breakfast. The owner of the yurt where she stayed was hospitable, and he did not shy away from Gaihong's appearance as a Central Plains man and the giant sword on his back.

When eating that piece of tsamba, Gai Hong couldn't help but think, isn't this little couple afraid that they will swing down with a sword and end up with their lives?

When she left here, even though her owner refused her any form of payment, Gai Hong quietly left the only piece of jade left on her body.

When she was in Xianyang before, she was rampant and domineering, so she didn't know if the two meals a day of the people in the market could be full, but since she left Xianyang, she has seen a lot, but she will never use her own force to bully others, even if she is often hungry, she does not "take it for granted" to rob.

Yes, when she was in Xianyang, she grabbed the things she liked, and it was a matter of course.

That piece of jade is the relic of his father's cover, the so-called ancient gentleman must admire the jade, the father squeezed his head to become a "gentleman" ranks, and naturally it is indispensable to decorate the whole family, so as not to be scorned as a hillbilly by those families.

But my father died until he died, and he must not have been able to become the "gentleman" he wanted.

Thinking of his father, Gai Hong's heart was sour, but he laughed for the first time.

"It's pathetic. ”

When he was alive, he was used as a sword, and when he died, he was kicked away like broken copper.

She hates Wuji, and hates those families even more.

Wuji is right, Xianyang is a huge cage, so she escaped.

But where could she flee?

Half a month later, she collapsed on the shore of a huge salt lake.

When she woke up, Gai Hong's body was covered with a thick blanket, and a small fire was burning beside her, and the warmth and comfort in the cave made her a little distracted for a moment.

Hearing the sound of the red, an old woman staggered over, she looked old and ugly, her skin was tanned by the scorching sun of the years, her sideburns were gray, and her wrinkled face was full of furrows.

Gai Hong should have disliked such an ugly old woman, but at this time, she leaned down gratefully.

"Thank you for saving my life. ”

The old woman didn't answer, but approached Gai Hong, stretched out her rough right hand and gently stroked her tanned cheeks, and her shriveled mouth moved, revealing the few remaining teeth.

She's laughing, Gai Hong thought.

But...... Why save yourself, why not let yourself die?

Do they know...... Every day she wakes up, she suffers for another day, and the more kind and welcoming they are to her, the more painful she becomes.

Why don't you die yet?

Whenever this question comes to her heart, she always thinks of Lin Ziyue's words: "If you want to die with dignity, you must first live with dignity." ”

It is this sentence that has made her persist step by step until now.

Gai Hong raised his head and saw a snow-capped mountain, crystal white, cloudy, but exuding a rare holiness in the world.

"That's Our Lady's Peak. The old woman seemed to see Gai Hong's thoughts, and said in a hoarse voice: "It is said that there is a palace built by an ice maid there, and there is a queen who only serves ice and snow lives in the palace. ”――
