The two of them were talking to themselves, and there was a big movement outside the gate. But this time it wasn't from the south, but from the north.

Xu Huaigu thought that something had happened again, so he hurriedly stood up to take a look, but saw that it was a great monk who was rushing in the air.

It turned out that it was the reinforcements from the Star Moon Sect who were late. At this time, more than four hours had passed since the appearance of the beetle snake, and Xu Huaigu couldn't help frowning, the speed of this support was too slow.

Being disturbed like this, the two of them were not interested, so they said that they would not sit down, it would be better to walk around. Xu Huaigu suggested that he could go to Chu Xiuyang's camp to see her, and Yu Qin naturally agreed.

After she learned Chu Xiuyang's true identity, she was also curious and wanted to see her again. The two walked side by side to Chu Xiuyang's tent, and before they got closer, they heard a faint sound of serious conversation coming from inside the tent.

Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin walked into the camp tent, and sure enough, they saw Chu Xiuyang sitting on a chair, surrounded by a group of generals, and they were discussing today's battle.

"General, this time the demon clan attacked the city, and it was the biggest loss of our army since the start of the war. There are a total of 100,000 troops in my Tanglin Pass, more than 12,000 people died, and nearly half of them were injured, but there were also many demon clans killed, close to 100,000. The casualties of our army are basically caused by those flying demons in the sky, which is a big hidden danger, and I implore the general to pay attention to it! Chu Xiuyang frowned, nodded and said, "Got it." ”

"General Chu, I also agree with this! In today's battle, there are too many flying demons, and the only remaining 50,000 arrows have all been used up, and they must be replenished from other places immediately, otherwise the next battle will not be able to fight! ”

"Duwei Chen, don't worry. I'll ask for the arrows right away, and I'll be there in two days. Chu Xiuyang calmly called the soldiers around him, took pen and ink, wrote the letter on the spot, and handed it to Lu Zijin on the fast horse.

After she finished doing this, she lowered her head and muttered: "Tanglin Pass has also fought several battles, and flying demons have always been a big problem for our army. Relying only on arrows, the means are still too simple, and those flying demons are becoming more and more cunning, and it is difficult to find one of ten arrows, so I wonder if I can find another more effective way to deal with flying demons. What do you propose? Please speak freely without being inhibited. The soldiers looked sad and bowed their heads in thought.

There was a brief silence in the tent, and Xu Huaigu took the opportunity to step forward and said with a smile: "If you want to deal with those flying in the sky, it is the best thing to do. I happen to know an excellent talisman master that I can recommend to General Chu. When Xu Huaigu spoke, everyone immediately looked up at him.

Chu Xiuyang saw that it was Xu Huaigu, so he invited him to take a seat, shook his head with a smile and said, "I also know a little bit about the talisman technique that Mr. Xu said, but it is a monk's method after all. In any case, the monks are still in the minority, and the two armies are facing each other, and it is more dependent on the soldiers to fight and serve, which is not advisable. As for how to deal with the flying demons, I will personally go to discuss with the other generals in a few days, and I must find a good way to come out, otherwise I will be sorry for our soldiers fighting on the front line. If you have an idea, for better or worse, feel free to come to me. Everyone nodded yes, and the group talked about the recent gossip for a while.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess will come to our Guannei to supervise the army in person tomorrow, but is it true?"

"Which princess are you talking about?"

"Needless to say, it is naturally the eldest princess of our Dayu Kingdom, Princess Cangyang. It's just that the princess is a daughter, will she come to our border like this? I don't know if the news is true or not. ”

"It's true." Chu Xiuyang took a sip of tea and interrupted the whispered discussion of the generals below,

"Princess Cangyang has already arrived in General Lu's general account this afternoon, because we fought well in today's battle, so the supervising army and his party will first come to see our Tanglin Pass. You have taken good care of the soldiers under your command in the past few days, so that the princess can have a good look at the demeanor of our border army, and don't make jokes. The generals promised again, and Chu Xiuyang took the opportunity to ask Xu Huaigu: "Does Lu Zijin want you to go back quickly?" Xu Huaigu, who read the book, replied: "I didn't say it, I guess there is no important pass for me to guard for the time being." Chu Xiuyang nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave you for a day, and then leave after participating in tomorrow's celebration wine for the soldiers, no problem, right?" Xu Huaigu stayed in Lu Zijin's tent, and no one spoke to him, so he naturally preferred to stay and participate in the celebration wine, so he agreed.

Everyone talked about the gods of mountains and rivers, saying that the court of Dayu Kingdom wanted the water gods of Qishui and the mountain gods of Qilian Mountain to also help the army fight against the demon clan.

These two gods are the orthodox gods of Dayu Kingdom, the nine realms of Qilian Mountain God cultivation, and the water god of Qishui is even more ten realms, if these two gods help each other, there will be a lot of strength to fight against the demon clan.

It's just that if you want to invite them, it takes a lot of effort. Strictly speaking, the gods are spirits naturally bred in the mountains and rivers, and they do not belong to the human race or the demon race.

But after all, living in the middle of the human race, and relying on people's incense to practice, you always have to pay attention to some feelings, so the court of Dayu Kingdom wants these two gods to look at the love of incense in the past, and how much to stop the demon clan.

It's just that it seems that there has been some setback, and the matter has not been negotiated, and the Ministry of Rites has been anxious about this matter recently.

These things were originally not related to the border army, but since it was a court situation, it was inevitable to talk about a few more words. There is one more thing, which is closely related to the border army.

It is said that a great merchant wanted to come from Middle-earth and specially went to the border to do business with Dayuguo.

The content of doing business is nothing more than those blades and arrows. It just so happened that the border army was in dire need of these, for example, the arrows that had just run out were written by Chu Xiuyang to ask Lu Zijin for it, and it was not easy for Lu Zijin to dispatch.

The loss of arrows everywhere is very large, and although there are many reserves over the years, they are still not enough to use, so they can only urge those craftsmen to work overtime to make them.

In this way, the arrow in the hand of the big merchant is especially important. But this is not necessarily a good thing, the big businessman in Middle-earth can just take the opportunity to raise prices and make a fortune, anyway, she is not from the Great Yu Country.

Chu Xiuyang has her own plans for this matter. If this person has a little conscience in his heart, and can sell the arrows to them at the original price or even a slight premium, they are willing to buy them, but if they are really too deceitful and determined to make a windfall in Dayu Country, then Chu Xiuyang has to let her know what it means to be rich but have no life.

Anyway, as soon as the war starts, the life of the border army is also the life, and the life of this merchant is also the life, so there is no need to keep this kind of silverfish full of money.

Xu Huaigu was always a little puzzled in his heart, what kind of merchant could carry a large number of blades and arrows to the border?

The transaction between Bezhou and Dayu has also been seen by Xu Huaigu. At the beginning, he was on a cargo ship from Flying Fish Island to Dayu Kingdom, and it was also full of bladed weapons.

But the cargo ship only stopped at the seaport of Dayuguo, how could there be a reason to go deep into the inland or even to the border?

This is inevitably a little bolder, so I'm not afraid that Da Yu Guo will be in a hurry and grab it directly? Could it be that the people of Middle-earth are extraordinarily tough in their actions?

Xu Huaigu was curious about the authenticity of the news that this so-called big businessman came to the border to do business, I am afraid that it is not a rumor made up casually by someone, it doesn't sound credible, and I have to ask Lu Zijin when I go back.

Alcohol was not allowed in the barracks, and a few people sat in the tent at night and drank tea, and after late at night, the generals also took their own orders to rest.

Only Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin were still sitting, and Chu Xiuyang intended to keep them. When the rest of the people were gone, and only these three people were left in the camp, Chu Xiuyang began to wink at Xu Huaigu, probably meaning that he wanted him to take Yu Qin away, so that the two of them could be alone and say something that only the two of them knew.

Seeing this, Xu Huaigu smiled and said: "General Chu has something to say directly, this is my Taoist companion Yu Qin, who has been serving under the general's banner recently. If it is concealed, it is easy to cause misunderstanding. Speaking of which, you have also seen it in the Fuyao Sect at the beginning. As soon as Chu Xiuyang heard the word Taoist couple, he was busy with his spirits, looked at Yu Qin curiously several times, squinted and smiled: "Who is my Taoist, so close to you, it turned out to be your Taoist companion." Since you are not an outsider, just go to the word general, I heard you call me General Chu, it is really awkward enough. ”

"Then what shall I call you, Your Highness the Princess?" Chu Xiuyang smiled: "Her Royal Highness the princess, it's not for a long time, just call me Xiuyang." Yu Qin glanced at Xu Huaigu coldly, Xu Huaigu's back was cold, and he said with a dry smile: "Miss Chu, there is something I have always been curious about asking you, does anyone here know your identity?" Chu Xiuyang nodded and replied: "The rest of the people can hide it, only Lu Zijin knows." ”

"He dares to use you, if there are three long and two short, aren't you afraid that the Fusang Imperial Court will come to the door?"

"He? If he is even afraid of this, can he still be called Lu Zijin? Chu Xiuyang raised his eyebrows and said with a wanton smile,

"Besides, I've already written back to my brother. I told him that I had escaped from the demon clan by luck, and then went all the way south to Dayu Country, and I also became a general in Dayu Country. Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows and continued to listen curiously.

"My brother didn't believe it at first, and thought that a thief who knew the inside story was trying to cheat him. But then he went on an envoy to Dayu Kingdom, and I ran over to meet him, don't you know, he saw my expression......" Chu Xiuyang became more and more eyebrows and danced, and laughed: "When he saw me, it was like seeing a ghost alive, his face was pale with fright, the horse was unstable, and he almost fell off!" Then he asked me a lot of things, asking me how I had been doing all these years and how I escaped from the demon clan...... Anyway, it's a lot, and after talking about it for almost a day, I can't remember it clearly. "Isn't that he sorry for you?

Xu Huaigu thought of how much Chu Wenze loved her back then, and she smiled so happily, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of her brother.

Xu Huaigu smiled helplessly and said, "Your brother didn't let you go back?" ”

"I must have let it go, but I won't go back." Chu Xiuyang continued,

"I said I wouldn't go back, and told him that I had become a general and that I wanted to make a contribution to the border. In the future, I will go back to Fusang and lead the army of Fusang to resist the demon clan and protect our people. ”

"I've noticed that my brother has changed a lot, and if it had been before, he would have had to say that I was unrealistic and foolish. But this time he didn't say anything, and allowed me to stay. He only said that he wanted me to take care of my health and send letters back from time to time. ”

"Your brother has recognized you. In the past, he treated you as a child and thought you were young and ignorant, but now that you have become a general by your own ability, he thinks you can take care of yourself, so he let you stay. Xu Huaigu gave her a serious analysis,

"Do you send letters back often?"

"Recently, the war has been tight, and I haven't sent it for more than two months." Xu Huaigu thought of his parents, whom he hadn't met for many years, and couldn't help but sigh and persuade: "The more tense the war, the more letters you should send back, so that your brother doesn't have to worry so much." Otherwise, when you don't dare to send a letter if you want to, you will regret it. ”

"While you have pen and ink at hand now, you might as well write one." Chu Xiuyang frowned, as if he understood what Xu Huaigu meant, nodded, and picked up the pen.
