Chapter 137: The Burden

Regardless of whether the person who summoned the interrogation was Xiao Daoyao or not, he should not have harmed Lu Xiaoan, so Lu Xiaoan immediately took the branch to see Zhou Zhaoyue.

Glancing at the branches, Zhou Zhaoyue asked, "Who sent the news?"

Lu Xiaoan said: "I suspect it's the head." ”

"Master, Xiao Daoyao!"

Zhou Zhaoyue was also very surprised, and asked, "Then why didn't he come out to see us directly?"

Lu Xiaoan couldn't answer this question, so he could only say: "No matter what, let's leave first!"

Lu Xiaoan went back to call Du Feiyu, and Zhou Zhaoyue called Xiao Luer and them.

After everyone got together, Xiao Lu'er looked at Lu Xiao'an in surprise and said, "Senior brother, your cultivation?"

Lu Xiaoan said: "I took a pill, but don't take that pill now, wait until the Qi Sea Realm to take it." ”

"Oh!"

Xiao Lu'er nodded obediently.

Lu Xiaoan said again: "In Guangyue Country, we will always be found by the Xia Jian Sect, so it is better for us to leave Guangyue Country." ”

Xiao Lu'er was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are we going to enter the Yunze Forest?"

Lu Xiaoan shook his head and said, "Yunze Forest is too dangerous, let's go to Gaoqiu Country." ”

"Gaoqiu Country?"

Zhou Zhaoyue was also a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, since Lu Xiaoan decided to go to Gaoqiu Country, then it was okay to go.

At this time, Hongying asked, "Aren't you looking for someone from the Holy Demon Sect?"

Lu Xiaoan said: "Of course, but you don't have to deliberately look for it, just pack a few if you can meet a few along the way!"

The main reason is that Lu Xiaoan doesn't have a blood qi pill, otherwise he really doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

Although the fifth-order blood qi pill had not improved him much, it could shorten the time for him to absorb spiritual objects, which was enough. Originally, it would take nearly ten years for Lu Xiaoan to cultivate the second layer of the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, but with enough Blood Qi Pill, this time might be shortened to two years.

But everything has a price, and that price is to endure pain that no one else can endure.

The woman seemed to be running away, but she was still watching behind her, trying to calculate Duan Xin like a calculating gray squirrel marten. But after Lu Xiaoan cut off an arm, Duan Xin learned to be patient, and his heart was firm and unmoved by anything.

After escaping for nearly half an hour, the woman finally couldn't suppress the poison in her body, and had to stop using her mana to force the poison. At this time, Duan Xin also followed the traces left by the woman when she escaped, looking for it little by little.

Listening to Duan Xin's footsteps as she approached, the woman knew that she couldn't sit still, so the imperial envoy wanted to sneak up on Duan Xin. It's a pity that most of her mana is used to suppress the poison at this time, and the speed of the magic weapon is greatly reduced.

Duan Xin easily dodged this magic weapon and was rushing towards the woman, only to see the other half of the leaf stabbing at him. Knowing that the woman had this trick, how could Duan Xin not be guarded, so he took out the broken sword he picked up and knocked off the half of the leaf.

Knowing that she would definitely die if she continued like this, the woman didn't bother to suppress the poison in her body, so she got up and hit Duan Xin with one palm. But before this palm could be hit, she spurted out a mouthful of black blood and almost fell to the ground.

"It's poisonous!"

The woman was completely helpless, but Duan Xin did not hesitate to cut off the woman's hands, and then grabbed her head and began to absorb cultivation.

"You'll regret it sooner or later!"

The woman had no ability to resist, so she could only stare at Duan Xin viciously.

Duan Xin didn't pay attention to it at all, and only absorbed the woman's cultivation. And there is no doubt about death, the woman naturally doesn't want to cheapen Duan Xin, so she doesn't suppress the poison in her body at all, and she is soon poisoned to death.

"It's a pity!"

Duan Xin shook his head, this woman's cultivation is not weak, he didn't even absorb a tenth, but he still reached the fourteenth layer of the Tong Pulse Realm, and there were not a few acupuncture points left from the Impact Qi Sea Realm.

After absorbing this woman's cultivation, Duan Xin planned to find a place to break through to the Qi Sea Realm. He didn't give up on continuing to hunt, but conditions like this one were hard to come by, so he planned to wait until he reached the Qi Sea Realm to find a way to do it.

"Senior brother, the green death is so big, what year and month are the two of us sent to find it? And what if we find it, isn't that equivalent to death?"

"That's right, the master sent us to die. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't you understand, when we came out, we all reported to the elders, and whoever didn't go back on time was a problem in that place, so that the search area could be narrowed for the sect, otherwise the Guangyue Kingdom is so big, how can we find it in the Xia Sword Sect?"

"This, this ......"

"Don't you care, even though it's a death, how can it be so easy to bump into it? Let's just go out here for two days and go out, don't think about those rewards, they are all deceived people to send them to death. ”

The two disciples of the Xia Sword Sect who searched for Lu Xiaoan outside the Green Death Land were He Chong and Zhu Qiansheng who pretended not to see him at the beginning. The two did not plan to seriously look for Lu Xiaoan, and wanted to leave in two days, but coincidentally, due to Xiao Daoyao's interrogation, Lu Xiaoan and the others had planned to leave, and it was even more coincidental that the two sides bumped into each other like this.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Zhaoyue was about to make a move, but Zhu Qiansheng didn't need any time to react, so he immediately knelt down to Lu Xiaoan and the others, and shouted: "Don't kill me, I can tell you where the people from the Xia Sword Sect are!"

This reaction speed was obviously in my heart, and I was stunned by He Chong on the side.

Lu Xiaoan was also a little caught off guard, and was stunned for a while before saying, "Say, where are they?"

Without hesitation, Zhu Qiansheng told Lu Xiaoan the search location of the Xia Jian Sect that he knew, and said again: "Please don't kill us, we will definitely not tell the truth." ”

Lu Xiaoan asked, "Why should I believe you?"

Zhu Qiansheng said: "Last time outside Huai'an City, we saw you jump into the river. ”

Lu Xiaoan was taken aback, and then realized that he was able to escape last time thanks to these two people turning a blind eye. Of course, these two people were afraid that Lu Xiaoan would kill them, so Lu Xiaoan would not remember their kindness, and he would not choose to believe the two because of this.

"It's not enough. ”

Lu Xiaoan shook his head.

Zhu Qiansheng said: "In the future, we can also deliver news for you, if you are caught, we will definitely die if you come to us, so we will not betray you." ”

Lu Xiaoan said: "You are really unscrupulous in order to survive." ”

Zhu Qiansheng said: "People have one life, who can not cherish it, and we originally felt that it was wrong for the Xia Sword Sect to do this, how could we act for the tiger!"

Lu Xiaoan looks down on such a person very much, but he is not the kind of rigid person, he can benefit himself, as long as he is not the kind of person who is a big traitor, he can use it.

So, Lu Xiaoan asked, "What are you going to do?"

This Zhu Qiansheng hadn't thought about it yet, so he thought for a while before saying, "In the future, I will write down the actions of the Xia Jian Sect every month and put them in one place, and you can send someone to get them." ”

Lu Xiaoan felt that this was good, with these two people, it would be much easier for him to take revenge on the Xia Jian Sect in the future.

"Yes, but a month is too short, and you are easy to be exposed if the number of times is too frequent, so it's only once every six months, and I will notify you if necessary. ”

"Okay!"

Zhu Qiansheng immediately agreed.

After Lu Xiaoan and the others left, He Chong asked, "Senior brother, wouldn't we become traitors to the sect by doing this?"

Zhu Qiansheng put his palm on He Chong's shoulder and asked rhetorically: "A sect that doesn't care about your life and death, is it necessary for you to work for him?"

He Chong thought about it, it seemed to be such a truth, Zhu Qiansheng said again: "The sect has arrested Lu Xiaoan for so long, not only did he not catch him, but he killed several elders of the Qi Sea Realm, don't you think he is very extraordinary?"

He Chong suddenly said: "Senior brother, it seems that you really say this. ”

Zhu Qiansheng said with a sense of emotion: "Some people are always smooth sailing whether they are cultivating or doing things, so luck is really very mysterious. ”

He Chong exclaimed: "Senior brother, do you still know luck?"

Zhu Qiansheng said: "I don't understand, but I think it's better to follow someone with good luck than someone with strong strength." ”

"Why?"

He Chong was puzzled.

Zhu Qiansheng said: "Because if you follow a strong person, you are likely to become an outcast, such as us." ”

He Chong asked: "Won't it be possible to follow those who are lucky?"

Zhu Qiansheng said: "Yes, so the key is to know how to judge the situation, just like just now, but if I react slowly, will we be killed by Zhou Zhaoyue casually?"

He Chong nodded, although he still didn't quite understand, but the fact that he saved his life twice proved that Zhu Qiansheng was right.

In fact, whether Zhu Qiansheng would report to the sect afterwards was not too much of a threat to Lu Xiaoan, that is, he wanted to find a place for everyone to cultivate with peace of mind, otherwise it would be almost impossible for the Xia Sword Sect to catch them if they fled in all directions.

After walking for a while, Zhou Zhaoyue suddenly said to Lu Xiaoan: "Senior brother, I don't think that person is very reliable, since he can betray the Xia Sword Sect, he will also betray you in the future." ”

Lu Xiaoan said: "I understand, but with him reporting for us, it will be easier to take revenge on the Xia Jian Sect in the future, isn't it?"

Zhou Zhaoyue just doesn't like such people, but what Lu Xiaoan said is reasonable, so she won't say anything.

However, Hongying smiled and said, "I quite appreciate such people." ”

Lu Xiaoan glanced at her and said, "Of course, you are all the same people!"

Hongying said angrily: "I'm different, I'm because the Left Protector didn't treat us as disciples in the first place, so why should I be loyal to her?"

Lu Xiaoan said: "Then how do you know that the Xia Sword Sect is very good to them?"

Hongying was speechless, but she didn't admit in her heart that she and Zhu Qiansheng were the same kind of people.

Lu Xiaoan didn't bother to care what she thought, so he just said: "Don't think so much useless, hurry up and think about where to find someone from the Holy Demon Sect." ”

A few months have passed, and it is naturally impossible for the people of the Holy Demon Sect to stay in one place without moving, which requires Hongying to figure it out. Before going to Gaoqiu Country, Lu Xiaoan had to get enough Blood Qi Pill, otherwise it would not be safe to return to Guangyue Country all the time.

In the palace, Gu Linghua has been overworked recently, and even the monk's body seems to be tired and thin. With her cleverness, she could naturally think of what danger Guangyue Guo would face next, and even if she couldn't think of it, someone would remind her. So during this time, Gu Linghua was trying to find a way to deploy troops to deal with the next crisis.

In this world, there is no mortal army, because even if you gather an army of 100,000 or 1 million, in front of the Infant Transformation Realm cultivators, you will only have a larger number of ants. Even Qi Sea Realm cultivators, as long as they have enough time, can kill no matter how many mortal armies they have. Therefore, ordinary people can only act as logistics, and all who really fight are monks.

But monks are not like ordinary people, they have a noble status, and they do not follow orders at will like mortals. Although the royal court also has its own army of monks, the number is too small, and it may be okay to guard one city and one clan, but it is far from enough to guard the entire Guangyue country.

Therefore, Gu Linghua had to recruit as many monks as possible to assemble into an army. But the monks are a little different from ordinary people, most of them don't have the idea of home and country, as long as they are strong, they can still survive if they leave Guangyue Country, so if you want to recruit them, you must come up with a tempting enough price.

This involves cultivation resources, such as spirit stones, pills, talismans, magic weapons, and even martial arts. Wang Ting alone would definitely not be able to come up with so many things, so he had to collect them from all the families and sects in Guangyue Kingdom. But these families and sects may not necessarily hand these over obediently, which requires Gu Linghua to find a way.

Deterrence by force is a very simple method, but the Gu family is too weak now, and this method is not so easy to use. And now is the time to employ people, Gu Linghua doesn't want to use any method to make an example, because that will make people's hearts fall apart.

Because of these trivial things, Gu Linghua almost went mad.

In the study, Gu Linghua was resting on the desk, and the former queen Jiang Yao walked in.

"Mother!"

Gu Linghua woke up and immediately stood up.

"Looks like I'm bothering you. ”

Looking at Gu Linghua's haggard appearance, Jiang Yao was also a little distressed.

Gu Linghua shook her head and said, "I'm fine, but my mother is fine?"

Jiang Yao nodded and said: "There is one thing, the Sabi country has already sent people to the Gaoqiu country, the Ice Moon Divine Palace of the Gaoqiu country has been fighting with us, and it will definitely join forces with the Sabi country, but the relationship between the Mo Entropy country and us has always been quite harmonious, I think we can fight for it." ”

Although Gu Linghua was smart, she didn't know a lot of things, and the same was true for Mo Entropy Country, so she asked, "Who does Mother think I should send?"

Jiang Yao seemed to have a candidate in his heart, so he said directly: "Let Li Zhaoran go!"

"Good!"

Gu Linghua nodded directly in agreement.

Among the Huai'an City Tianjiao, who is close to his age, Gu Linghua really thinks that Li Zhaoran is the most outstanding one. When he once thought he was an enemy, Li Zhaoran was also the most feared by Gu Linghua.

However, Gu Linghua said again: "But he has only passed through the cultivation of the Pulse Realm, wouldn't it be bad to let him go alone?"

Jiang Yao said: "Naturally, he won't let him go alone, there will be elders of the Li family's Infant Realm to accompany him." ”

Nodding slightly, Gu Linghua was relieved.

But just when Gu Linghua thought it was okay, Jiang Yao said again: "There is one more thing." ”

Looking at Jiang Yao's face, Gu Linghua asked with some confusion, "What else is going on?"

Jiang Yao stared at Gu Linghua for a while before saying, "The Yan family wants to make peace with us." ”

"There is no ......"

Gu Linghua was furious, her hatred for the Yan family was even greater than that of the Gongsun family, and her first reaction when she heard this was that it was impossible.

But before the words could be spoken, she swallowed it back, because the Yan family was an extremely strong force, and if they helped, Guangyue Kingdom would have a greater chance of being able to defend it. But if the reverse is the opposite, if the Yan family is forced to take refuge in foreign enemies, then Guangyue Kingdom will be even worse.

It took Gu Linghua a long time before swallowing this breath, and then asked, "What conditions do they have?"

Jiang Yao said: "The conditions are not too much, as long as they are allowed to enter Huai'an City." ”

Gu Linghua frowned and said, "They have such good intentions?"

Subconsciously, Gu Linghua felt that the Yan family must have some tricks.

Jiang Yao said: "No matter what their purpose is, we really need their strength now. ”

Gu Linghua asked, "Mother thinks she should promise them?"

Jiang Yao nodded and said, "I think so, but you are now the lord of Guangyue Country, and this matter has to be decided by you personally." ”

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, Gu Linghua realized that the position of the lord of the country was really not so easy to sit in.

"As long as they have no other conditions, you can promise them. ”

When she said this, Gu Linghua only felt that she was uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of Lu Xiaoan.

"Take a break!"

Jiang Yao turned around and left, she actually felt that it was a little too cruel to put such a heavy burden on Gu Linghua's shoulders, but since Gu Changsong chose to believe in Gu Linghua, what she had to do was to support Gu Linghua as she supported Gu Changsong.

After Jiang Yao left, Gu Linghua did not rest, but began to cultivate. Although she was so tired that she wanted to sleep, she knew that she didn't have time to stop now.

After hiding for a while, Shui Qinghe took everyone back to Yuehu Mountain again. Now that there are few of them, and all of them are monks, they don't need to put up heavy and warm felt bags, and they are not easy to be discovered. Moreover, there is a secret realm in the Moon Lake Mountain, and if you really encounter danger, you can take people to hide in it temporarily.

However, Shui Qinghe didn't take everyone back to their original position, because it would remind people of the pain of the day, so they went to the back of Moon Lake Mountain. This side faces the forest, and it is easier to hide than the Moon Lake, but there are a lot of demon beasts, and I didn't choose to settle here because I was afraid that the demon beasts would hurt people.

Shui Muyuan already has the cultivation of the tenth layer of the Tongmai Realm, and this cultivation is not too high among the remaining people, but her talent is the best one, so Shui Qinghe values her very much, and pins the hope of reviving the Shui clan on her.

But Shui Muyuan felt that she couldn't afford this heavy responsibility, and somehow, whenever she encountered difficulties, she would think of Lu Xiaoan, and felt that it would be great if Lu Xiaoan was by her side!

But Shui Muyuan also knew that this fantasy was unrealistic, not to mention that Lu Xiaoan was from Guangyue Country, even if he was from their Gaoqiu Country, why should people work hard for them?

"You're in a daze again!"

Shui Jinyao suddenly appeared behind Shui Muyuan and jumped her.

Without waiting for Shui Muyuan to speak, Shui Jinyao said again: "I know who you are thinking." ”

Shui Muyuan was stunned for a moment, and Shui Jinyao said again: "Actually, I miss him a lot." ”
