Nanshang is very close to the Snow Mountain, Wang Yaping doesn't know, but Xia Xiao knows it very well. It took him less than ten minutes to stand at the foot of the snow-capped mountain on the side and walk towards a small village in Nanshang.

The remote village is sparsely populated, and it is a snowy day, and the three old men carry a few large white radishes with the thickness of their arms from the field and prepare to go home to stew bones. If you don't take out some inventory in such weather, how can you persuade the little ancestors in the family not to run around? If you fall into a pit buried in snow, it will be a big deal.

The young man went out, and the little baby left behind was a baby bump. But these old fellows are different from the little ones, who don't know the way, but they are so familiar with the roads around the village that they can't afford to fall. It's just that in front of me, something strange has appeared.

I saw that the snow was falling, and an extremely tall figure made the three slightly rickety old men a little overwhelmed. But the person who came was Xia Xiao, he had always behaved like a good boy in front of his elders, and at this time, with a smiling face, he took the initiative to come forward and say hello, which was very polite. As soon as he heard that he was going to ask about something, the old man at the head was not afraid, pulled him home, and nagged all the way:

"The weather is bad, and I will talk about what I have to say when I go inside. ”

The room was much warmer, and the old man said under the strange gaze of the old woman and the little baby:

"If a guest has something to ask, pour a cup of tea first. ”

When the little baby saw the stranger, she immediately stopped making a fuss, but just played with her own little wooden car. The old woman lifted a kettle from the stove and poured tea for Xia Xiao. He sat on the kang and felt that the family was really friendly, and when he saw the eldest lady handing him clothes, his heart warmed.

"It's not cold for you to wear it this winter?"

"This is my clothes, you are wearing a little smaller, make do with it, don't be cold. ”

"It's okay, I'm a cultivator, I'm just here to ask about things. ”

The cultivator was indeed not afraid of the cold, and the old man nodded hurriedly, giving birth to some respect. The old woman was afraid that Xia Xiao would dislike her, so she hurriedly took it away, and then fell silent, not daring to talk nonsense.

After taking a sip of tea, Xia Xiao asked:

"Uncle, I won't tell you, I'm from the Earth King Palace, you should have heard of it, right?"

"I know that the big forces in the snow-capped mountains will pull daily necessities from the long road every once in a while, and such a big flag, even if I have bad eyes, I can see it clearly. ”

Xia Xiao couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart when he saw that he was too old and still in such a spirit.

"Yes, yes, we are closed all year round, and my trip is to find out the news. ”

"Let me guess, what you want to ask is about the war between Nanshang and Great Xia, right?"

Xia Xiao nodded, making the old man smile heartily. Nanshang has always been fierce among the people, what to say, his temperament is relatively straight, and he is not as cautious as Daxia because of his caution in his bones, so he hides everything. Since Xia Xiao asked and expressed his intentions, the old man said without reservation, anyway, this kind of thing is well known.

"Don't talk about you, even us, the southern merchants, felt puzzled at the time, why did they suddenly withdraw after fighting a good war. However, this time the incident happened suddenly, and His Majesty did not even ask, and the whole army began to retreat. Young man, you don't know how chaotic the scene was at that time, the army of millions, the gray and slippery, the morale was low, like a lost battle, and it took three full days to complete the chaotic front and back. At that time, we were all curious, and there was a movement across the country, and we only found out what was going on later. ”

Xia Xiao's curiosity was successfully aroused, what made all the Nanshang troops withdraw from Great Xia in three days? He didn't believe that the Great Xia Dynasty had such a ability, but the old man spoke a little fantastical, but Xia Xiao listened very carefully.

"I heard that we attacked as usual that day. Because Xiyang has been captured and used as a stronghold by us, the combat effectiveness of the army is surprisingly high, and with the deployment of the latest tactics, we are confident that we will completely defeat the Dragon and Tiger Fortress within three months, which is an open tactical announcement. But I didn't expect that after several battles, although we were the dominant side, we encountered a hard stubble, which could not be solved, and it was also provoked, and many soldiers were put in. ”

"The last time I went to the city, I heard that the stubble that caused us to withdraw from the army was a little girl, but she was in her twenties, and she looked like a country, but she was covered in scarlet light, and she was called a blood girl by the soldiers. The blood girl doesn't know what kind of realm she is in, some people say that she is towering to the sky, some people say that she is asking, I am not a cultivator, I don't understand that, as soon as I ask, they say that asking is the highest realm of a cultivator. Young man, you're a cultivator, really?"

Xia Xiao nodded, and the old man's face immediately changed, and he felt terrified.

"I always thought that such a strong cultivator was older than me, but I didn't expect to be so young, it's really a. If you are so strong now, you won't be able to go to heaven in the future, young man, I'm a rough person, don't you mind, I suddenly want to ask you, do you know who that little girl is, why did she suddenly go to help Da Xia?"

"I've never heard of such a strong man. ”

Xia Xiao shook his head, his expression was a little regretful, but he obviously lied. From the moment she heard the scarlet light, Xia Xiao knew what was going on, but there was some surprise, how could she come to the battlefield, and the master agreed?

A little girl who has more than a towering strength, comparable to asking, and can control the power of scarlet, these characteristics are very close to Shangshan, and it is not difficult for Xia Xiao to guess. But this is a war between two countries, and Shangshan should not participate in it. It's not surprising that she is whimsical and has her own ideas, but she should be dissuaded by the master no matter how she is going to the first church.

Without seeing his master, Xia Xiao couldn't know what he thought, but he could imagine the scene when Shangshan forced Nanshang to withdraw from the army. She must have stood in the air, looking at the Nanshang army with disdain, and scolding them to retreat. There is no shortage of iron and blood in the Southern Merchants, and they will definitely not agree, but even if the strongest cultivator among them appears, they will be deflated by the destruction and annihilation power of the supreme good.

The way to prove his strength is very simple, that is, to kill. She was optimistic that she would not slaughter too much because of her master's teachings, but she would crush some of the strong merchants of the Southern Merchants, so that the Southern Merchants could see the gap between them. She repeated her simple tricks to show the Southern Merchants how powerful she was, and then a wave of anger came out, scaring them to the core.

A person of that strength can turn over and destroy the whole army on the battlefield, so Nanshang is so afraid and immediately dispels the idea. Few people knew who she was, but they didn't know why she was helping Great Xia, but one thing was certain, except for Nanshang, the Goulong Bang clan didn't dare to offend Great Xia at will, because the latter was being covered by a cultivator who could really be called a strong person.

It's strange to say, since Shangshan is on the front line, he should be able to feel his breath. Even if he hides it and Ah Candle is not there, she should be able to detect his arrival, after all, they are very familiar with each other. But Shangshan hasn't come so far, proving that she has left the western part of Great Xia, and if she is here, even if those guys in Yunguo find it, they will have to go back to their hometown with their tails between their legs.

Xia Xiao scratched her head, I don't know what she's doing, but in general, I still want to thank her. In any case, it is good to stop the war. Thinking of another great favor, Xia Xiao couldn't be happy, and even felt a little uncomfortable, how could this be repaid?

"Hey, it's a pity, I can't complete the grand ambition of the Southern Shang Empire. The people of Daxia are happy, and they don't know what they are doing now. ”

Xia Xiao was also curious about what the people of Great Xia were doing now, although he had passed by Xiyang before, he was still some distance away from the Dragon and Tiger Fortress, and he didn't know if there was an army inside. Moreover, now that Nanshang has withdrawn, shouldn't Great Xia take back the territory and build fortifications to prepare for the future? Thinking of this, Xia Xiao asked:

"Has NCB declared a truce in the true sense of the word?"

"This kind of thing should be classified, I don't know. But since that strong man is here, we will definitely not act rashly, at least we must investigate the matter clearly. However, I am rich and wealthy, how much benefit Daxia gives her, we will pay twice as much, anyway, sooner or later we will dominate the Great Wilderness. Speaking of Great Xia, they are also powerful, they were not strong originally, but they have survived until now. ”

"Is it the reason for their unity?"

The old man chatted to the end, and immediately shook his head and waved his hand, looking like Xia Xiao was an idiot.

"Look, that's the disadvantage of not going out for a long time. Da Xia has been able to persist until now, not because of unity or proper command, but because of a young man named Xia Xiao. ”

"Since you're just a young man, how powerful are you?"

If the old man knew that the person in front of him was Daxia Xia Xiao, he would definitely not dare to say the next words. But he didn't know that the so-called ignorant were fearless, so he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Xia Xiao and scolded:

"You don't know this, it was the pope of the first church or the academy student who used some evil techniques on the battlefield to kill 200,000 people of the Southern Merchant Army. However, he deserved it, and then he fell into the devil and was wanted by the whole world, and some time ago he said that he was taken away by Yunguo, and his life and death are uncertain. I think it's better to die, students should study hard in the academy, and if they have to mix so many things, there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

Xia Xiao smiled dryly, and his good impression of the old man dropped to zero in an instant. But they are all enemies, and he can't expect the old man to pray for himself, so that he will never die and live a long life.

After chatting a few words, Xia Xiao was ready to withdraw, he had already gotten the answer he wanted, but he didn't expect an old man to know so much.

The old man and the old woman stayed in Xia Xiao to eat, the stewed pork leg and radish in the afternoon were very fragrant, and there was already some taste at this time. But Xia Xiao went out and disappeared into the wind and snow in the blink of an eye, without making them have any ability to react, and the words that came to their mouths were swallowed again.

Seeing a gust of wind passing by, Xia Xiao disappeared without a trace, and the old man couldn't help but exclaim:

"Young cultivators are just good, and the future is immeasurable. ”
