Hearing Wei Caiyi say the word Sun Xiang, Xu Huaigu's heart suddenly tightened. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized what Wei Caiyi was talking about.

That day in the mountains and forests in the south, in order to save Fan Xuan from the hands of the beetle snake, Xu Huaigu had to resort to the golden shuttle talisman that had not been used for many years.

This Jin Shuo rune was originally an unpassed secret of Taihua Mountain in Middle Earth, and very few people had seen it, and the realm of the monks present that day was generally not high, so they didn't see the details of the Jin Suo rune, and they only thought that this method was Xu Huaigu's use of some kind of treasured talisman. But Wei Caiyi is different, she is a monk of the Eleventh Realm, and she is originally from Middle-earth, how can she not recognize the Jin Shuo rune?

When Sun Xiang taught him the Jin Suo talisman, he carefully told him not to use it until the last resort, otherwise once he was recognized, he would be set on fire. When the time comes, Taihua Mountain will hold accountable the guilt of the secret law, but he will not be able to protect Xu Huaigu. At this time, Wei Caiyi suddenly said this, so how could Xu Huaigu not be nervous?

can only blame the situation for being too critical at that time, if she didn't use the golden shuttle spell, Fan Xuan would die at the hands of the snake, Xu Huaigu couldn't bear to see her die. Although the two once had a life-and-death feud, they are both comrades-in-arms at the moment, and there is no reason not to save them.

Xu Huaigu glanced up at Wei Caiyi, only to see Wei Caiyi's eyes burning and staring at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

Lu Zijin was a little confused, and he also looked at it curiously.

Xu Huaigu saw that this matter must not be fooled, so he had to stubbornly reply: "What the predecessor said, could it be that I used the technique at that time?" ”

"That's right, it's the Golden Shuttle Talisman."

Hearing these four words, even Lu Zijin looked a little surprised. He was stunned, then half-squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Huaigu scrutinically.

Wei Caiyi continued: "To be honest, I actually admire you. It's just that appreciation is appreciation, what is the origin of the golden shuttle rune you carry, but you still have to honestly explain. You also know that a big sect like Taihua Mountain takes extremely strict care of its own secret methods, and if this matter spreads, Taihua Mountain will definitely send someone to arrest it. When the time comes, even if someone is willing to protect you, I'm afraid that there is no reason to protect you. ”

Lu Zijin heard Wei Caiyi tell the reason for the matter at this time, and he also became serious, and said: "This is not a trivial matter, I know that you are not the kind of wild cultivation that deliberately steals the secret method of the immortal family, if there is a hardship in it, you can say it." Senior Wei and I are not unreasonable people, if you are reasonable, you will naturally not be embarrassed. ”

Xu Huaigu saw that he couldn't be confused, so he had to grit his teeth, and as a last resort, he had to tell everything about what happened in Binxi back then. Including Sun Xiang planting a talisman in his heart, and how Deng Zhiyuan taught him swordsmanship.

After finishing speaking, Xu Huaigu was still a little worried. After all, these things are secrets in secrets, and he has never told anyone about them, even Yu Qin, who is closest to him, and he doesn't know that he still has the Golden Shuttle Talisman.

After hearing this, Lu Zijin nodded, and suddenly said: "I see, when I say this, it's all right." When I had just returned to Dayu from Middle-earth, I heard that a great war broke out in Binxi, and Sun Xiang was seriously injured, but he was promoted to the Ten Realms because of the blessing of misfortune, and it turned out that you were also on the scene at that time. ”

Xu Huaigu hurriedly said: "The juniors don't dare to deceive, what I said above is true." ”

Wei Caiyi listened to it, and smiled slowly: "I didn't expect things to be like this, it's okay." However, Sun Xiang had such an embarrassing thing back then, and he was forced to hand over a golden shuttle talisman, but I am afraid that he also went to a lot of cultivation. Hehe, but I've never heard him talk about it. When I go back to Middle-earth this time, I'll have to laugh at him. ”

When Xu Huaigu heard Wei Caiyi say this, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, the seniors don't pursue me?" ”

Wei Caiyi said with a smile: "The matter of Taihua Mountain has nothing to do with me, why do I care so much about him?" Besides, Sun Xiang is also a person who loves to do business, and he has a lot of property in my Luoyun City. In short, I have some friendship with him, and this matter helps him hide it from Taihua Mountain. ”

Xu Huaigu said happily: "In this way, thank you seniors!" ”

"You don't have to thank me, this favor should be counted on Sun Xiang's head." Wei Caiyi sat back in place and smiled slightly, "You want me to help him hide his secret, and you want me to take his apprentice back to Middle-earth." Let me think about it, how can I get him to thank me? ”

"Take his apprentice back to Middle-earth?"

When Xu Huaigu heard this, he thought about it in his heart, isn't Sun Xiang's disciple Li Zi? Speaking of which, she was about to leave again, and Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Xu Huaigu hurriedly asked, "When are the seniors going to leave?" ”

"It's just a few days." Wei Caiyi lay lazily on the chair, squinted and replied, "Now that the seventh level has been broken, and my business with Lu Zijin is finished, what are you doing here?" It's just that the gluttony didn't dare to fight with me, which is a pity. ”

Xu Huaigu sighed secretly. It's only been two or three months since we've been together, and now it's time to part, and he can't help but feel a little emotional. Besides, Li Zi doesn't seem to be in a good mood lately, could it be because of this incident?

No matter what, if you have known each other since childhood, it is rare to get together, and you have to say goodbye again. Although Yu Qin may not be very happy, Xu Huaigu thinks that his feelings for Li Zi are no different from those for Zhang Xiaohe, and he will persuade her when the time comes.

"There's no need to rush to say goodbye now, I'll tell you again in a few days when I take her away." Wei Caiyi said understandingly, "There is only one thing, I have to remind you." I'm still a bit of a passer, and even if I didn't look closely, I could see some clues. Li Zi, that kid, seems to have some feelings for you. This is not a good thing, she is practicing the Tao of Sun Xiang's lineage, paying attention to the word let go, once there is a concern, the road of cultivation will become narrower and narrower. What's more, now that you have a Taoist partner, it's best not to have too many entanglements with her. It's still the same sentence, it's just my advice, listen to it or not, it's up to you. ”

The last time he said goodbye to Li Zi, Sun Xiang also said the same thing to him. Thinking of this, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel like a mess, and thanked him indiscriminately: "Thank you seniors for reminding me." ”

Wei Caiyi nodded, looking out through the window, the sky was clear, and it was as clear as a wash. She seemed to be in a much better mood, stood up and smiled: "It's so nice today, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Xu Huaigu arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the seniors." ”

Lu Zijin also got up and gave him away.

Wei Caiyi waved his hand, signaling that the two of them didn't need to be polite, so he pushed open the door and went downstairs, so there were only two people left on the second floor, Lu Zijin and Xu Huaigu.

Lu Zijin pointed to the chair that Wei Caiyi was sitting on before, and said with a smile: "Sit down, what are you doing standing all the time." ”

Xu Huaigu answered and sat down. The sunlight poured in through the window, and it was golden, shining on Xu Huaigu's body, very warm.

Lu Zijin smiled: "I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity before. It's no wonder that he cultivated so high at such a young age, and it turned out that there were already high-ranking people behind his back. ”

Xu Huaigu laughed twice and said, "It's just luck." ”

"Wei Caiyi and I will keep it a secret for you, you don't have to worry about that. It's just that in the future, unless it's a matter of life and death, try not to use the Golden Shuttle Talisman, especially in Middle-earth, where there are many people who know the Golden Shuttle Talisman, and if you are not careful, you are likely to get into trouble. ”

Xu Huaigu nodded and agreed, and Lu Zijin continued: "This time, thanks to your help, otherwise the soldiers of Tanglin Pass will not be able to escape even if they are alive." ”

"Mr. Lu is polite, this is what I should do." Xu Huaigu was a little worried in his heart, "Speaking of which, how many soldiers in Tanglin Pass have survived to Wuliang?" ”

Lu Zijin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "After all, there are a total of eight thousand three hundred and twenty-six people. ”

Of the original more than 60,000 soldiers, only more than 8,000 survived, and this was when Xu Huaigu and Wei Caiyi both helped. If Wei Caiyi is not there, I am afraid that in the mountains and forests that have just gone north, the entire army has already been wiped out, and even Xu Huaigu himself will not be able to survive.

Xu Huaigu felt a burst of grief in his heart and asked, "Mr. Lu took this risky move, did he calculate in advance that the loss would be so big?" ”

The look on Lu Zijin's face was incomprehensible, and he just asked, "Chu Xiuyang told you?" ”

Xu Huaigu replied truthfully: "Yes." Although I admire Mr. Lu, I think General Chu did the right thing. If I hadn't told me, the play would have been more realistic, but the soldiers would have died more. ”

Lu Zijin said: "Her original intentions are naturally good, but her heart is still softer. ”

"Mr. Lu thinks General Chu is doing something wrong?"

"Not exactly, not good enough, to say the least." Lu Zijin said slowly, "Those who use generals on the march should have an iron heart, and the most taboo thing is to be emotional. "Read the book

"Although Tanglin Pass lost more than 50,000 soldiers this time, it was exchanged for the trust of the demon clan, and if you make good use of false information in the future, after a battle, hundreds of thousands of demon clans can be easily wiped out. How can there be immortals in war? There is a give-and-take, but it is just a trade-off. ”

Xu Huaigu was silent.

Although Lu Zijin has his own reasoning, Xu Huaigu still doesn't agree. His heart was heavy when he thought of so many dead soldiers, as well as their widows and widows.

Lu Zijin stared at Xu Huaigu for a long time, and said, "Your heart is the same as Chu Xiuyang's, and it is also a little softer. You didn't kill the beetle snake at that time, but it was also because of compassion? ”

Xu Huaigu was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said: "In the future, Mr. Lu needs my help?" ”

Lu Zijin shook his head and said, "You've helped enough." After the seven levels were broken, the battle line was stretched again, stretching for thousands of miles from the east coast to the west coast, and there was probably not much you could help with. Not only you, but the rest of the monks don't have to stay at the border anymore. I'll tell them about this in two days. You've done the best you can, and it's up to us to lead the battle. ”

"You should also know that now that the four countries of Dongfu Continent have formed a coalition army, the total number of troops of the four countries stationed in the territory of Dayu Country at this time is close to five million. Although these armies are mixed, and there are many problems in the coordination and contact of all parties, after all, the number of people is there, and they can always stop the demon clan for a while. The border matter will be handed over to me next, if you are free, you might as well go to Xingqing City to have a look, Her Royal Highness the princess may need you. ”

Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "Since Mr. Lu no longer needs my help, in fact, I am ready to go north to Fuyao Sect." ”

"Why don't you go back to Xingqing? I may never see you again next time. ”

Xu Huaigu lowered his head and pondered, and said, "In this case, let's go for a trip." Some old people are still celebrating and have to help them. ”

"You're trying to take them away? Then it's too early. Her Royal Highness the Princess will immediately issue a ban, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving Xingqing, and no matter who you are, no matter how powerful and powerful you are, you will not be able to leave. ”

Xu Huaigu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

"The border war is tight, we can only fight and retreat, Your Highness and I have long expected that the final battle of the Great Yu Kingdom will end in Xingqing. Think about it, if there is no restriction, when that time comes, will there be anyone left in Xingqing? One by one, they all fled, what else did the army protect? An empty city? ”

Xu Huaigu hurriedly said: "Then you can't close the city!" Isn't that the end of everyone's life? ”

Lu Zijin looked serious and said: "If you fight against the water, the army's combat power will be stronger." The vitality of the Dayu Kingdom has been extinct, and Dongfu Shaozhou is just surviving, even if they can escape, where can they escape? Rather than die of exhaustion and starvation while fleeing, it is better to die with your back straight. ”

"But ......"

"No, this is the decision made by His Highness. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Xingqing City to find her. She values your opinion, and it is not yet known if you can get her to change her mind. ”

Xu Huaigu gritted his teeth, didn't say a word for a long time, and finally said unwillingly: "But aren't we fighting on the border just to protect the people of Dayu Kingdom?" Wouldn't this be a waste of the efforts of the border army! ”

Lu Zijin said: "You should say these words in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"I'll go, I'll definitely tell her." Xu Huaigu's tone was resolute, "I will go to Xingqing in a few days and talk to her about this matter." ”

Lu Zijin suddenly smiled, his tone had a sense of relief, and he said: "I think back then, when you were just a child, Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be still out of reach. At this time, you are not only her right-hand man, but you can even influence national affairs. It's only been ten years, and one person can change so much. ”

Xu Huaigu's face was resolute, and he made up his mind that he had to go to Xingqing this time.

Lu Zijin picked up the military affairs booklet, bowed his head and said, "It's not too late to mention these things in a few days, let's go see Chu Xiuyang first, she should be recuperating from her injuries at this time." ”

"Where is she?"

"I'll let the guard at the door take you there, and you can follow him."

Xu Huaigu nodded, said goodbye, and turned to leave. Before going out, he didn't forget to take off the blue and white flowing cloud robe and put it away. Now that it's in the barracks, not on the battlefield, there's no need to wear the immortal robe to swagger through the market.
