From the first second Nanxi entered He Yi's room for treatment, Li Liangyu had already lurked in Nanxi's shadow and was ready to make a move at any time.

He is not good at talking, and his personality is a little withdrawn, so he spends most of his time in the dark, being the "shadow" of He Yi.

"You are also an enlightened person, what is the Tao?" Nanxi looked at Li Liangyu and saw that he was holding two daggers in his hands, and immediately frowned.

He is a doctor, he is here to heal the sick and save people, he is here to do good deeds. Being so guarded really displeased him.

"Enlightenment with thieves. Li Liangyu said in a deep voice.

He realized this skill in the process of theft, so there is nothing to hide.

"It turned out to be a thief. Hearing this, Nanxi's brows were even more furrowed, and a heavy look of disgust rose on his face, and he said: "Shame and companion!" and walked away.

"What are you talking about, can't you find death?" Li Liangyu was suddenly unhappy.

Just as he was about to have a seizure, Red Sleeves hurriedly stopped him, and the smile on his face was even bigger.

She let Nanxi leave, and she didn't stop her, but said in the rear: "Yes, so what? Although my younger brother is not in the ninth stream, he can kill a cultivator of the Mysterious Realm by himself! But what about you? Ask yourself, can you do it?"

Nanxi's body shook, and his footsteps stopped.

Obviously, Li Liangyu also knew about killing Zhao Ye in Shifeng Ancient Prison.

A while ago, the Qi Cultivation Sect sent people to Huyang to investigate the case of the Zhao family, and Li Liangyu can be said to have taken most of the responsibility alone because of his easy to hide characteristics.

"I can't do it yet. ”

"In that case, why do you still look down on my brother?"

"It's different...... Alas, let me think about it. Nanxi shook her head and left on her own, gradually breaking the news around the corner of the alley.

"Oh no! The lord may not have agreed to keep him! What is the stinky now? a guy who thinks very highly of himself!" Li Liangyu spat on the ground and complained dissatisfied.

Red Sleeves smiled and slapped Li Liangyu on the back of the head: "What do you know? Why don't you go to my brother's side quickly! You are a shadow, no matter what happens in the future, you must never leave an inch! understand?"

"Uh...... Mistake, pure mistake, last time the lord asked me to help set up tents for the homeless, and left for a while. But I didn't expect the lord to say that he would leave?" Li Liangyu laughed and ran into the house as if he were fleeing.

...... ......

Although there were twists and turns, He Yi was always safe and sound, and the red sleeves were happy, but also remembered the warmth of He Yi's palms in the morning, and two blush rose on his face for no reason.

Red Sleeves was miserable, and when he was seven years old, he was sold into the Qinglou by his biological father and mother for some reasons to learn songs and musical instruments.

She has been in the Fengyue place for more than ten years, she is used to seeing all kinds of men, listening to all kinds of rhetoric, and getting all kinds of flattery, but that heart has always been like a rock, and has never been shaken by anyone.

And over the years, she has also been accustomed to all kinds of ugly faces under men's rhetoric, if it weren't for the hard work to learn a happy way, I am afraid that she would have lost her innocence long ago.

She felt that she might not be tempted by any man in her life.

But for some reason, when she came to He Yi, her heart was so throbbing.

Perhaps, as the book says, the reason why love does not know where to arise will go deeper, right?

"This nerd, why don't you know how to take the initiative? People have a bit of a posture anyway......" Red Sleeves gently stroked the side of his face, remembering the scene in the room before, and was secretly annoyed by He Yi's ignorance.

At this moment, a carriage turned out of the street corner in the distance, and the red-sleeved woman in red looked a little familiar.

"Is that her?"

Red sleeves on the face

Suddenly he became cold, gritted his teeth, and walked in the direction from which the carriage had come.

...... ......

After taking the pill brought by Liao Qianzhong, He Yi's complexion was obviously much better, and it didn't take long for him to wake up.

Seeing that everyone was guarding by his side, he was moved, but he was secretly worried.

"Okay, I'm fine. Yunyi, Qianzhong, you two stay for the time being, and the others go to their own affairs first, and quickly solve the affairs of the homeless people. Eventful period...... What an eventful time!" He Yi rubbed his head with a headache.

A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen, as if all the unfortunate things in the world have been encountered by themselves.

Judging from his physique and appearance, the alien merchant described by Eunuch Li was most likely from a country called "Barbarian" on the other side of the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain.

The strange beasts it sells have the magical power to transform into human form, and the rumored people of the barbarian country are also good at the way of beasts, and they are born to talk to foreign beasts.

Therefore, He Yi had to think in that direction.

He felt that the merchant was most likely a spy sent here by the barbarians, but because of his different appearance, it was easy for people to see through, so he used the demon beasts they had domesticated to find out the news here.

If it weren't for the fact that the monkey happened to be in estrus, if it wasn't for He Yi's coincidental encounter, I am afraid that the moment the barbarian army invaded, they would not have understood what had happened.

"Young General, now that the internal worries are basically lifted, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the food and grass are sufficient, it is not impossible to send troops to take the city, and it is not impossible to continue to occupy the city, why are you worried?" Gongliang Ju couldn't help but ask when he saw He Yi's solemn face.

Huyang City's current strength has begun to take shape, with more than 20,000 well-trained elite soldiers and strong generals equipped with demon-breaking weapons, plus Du Dao, Jiang Sheng, and the scattered cultivation forces attracted by Xiandang, plus Red Sleeves, Li Liangyu and other enlightened people, even if they are immortal in person, they also have the power to fight.

"Yes, my lord, if there is anything, you might as well say it, Yun Yi and I are vassals, and it is within our duty to share worries for the Lord. Liao Qianzhong said quite confidently.

He's in high spirits right now.

Since the opening of Xiandang, the momentum of development has been extremely rapid, after learning about the moon of the medium-grade elixir, countless scattered cultivators in Huyang City and even around the surrounding areas have flocked to it, each sharpening their heads, and they also want to seek a position in Xiandang.

In addition, Xiandang's reputation is already excellent, and bartering is also extremely safe, so in just half a month, nearly 100 casual cultivators have been recruited, and the cultivation is at least at the peak of the Ran Realm.

With such a terrifying force in his hands, Liao Qianzhong was confident enough to help He Yi sweep away all the emergencies in Huyang City.

"Although there are no internal worries, this external trouble has to be prevented...... Yun Yi and Qian Zhong, do you know the northern barbarians?" He Yi sighed, secretly blaming himself.

He should have thought about this a long time ago, since the battle to encircle and suppress the snow beast Xuanming was over, he should have expected such an outcome.

After all, the people of the barbarian country are born with the ability to communicate with strange beasts, and the abnormal movement in the northern wilderness must be detected by the barbarian country earlier than their own side.

"Barbarian country, but that legendary ancient country where humans and demons live together?" Liao Qianzhong and Gongliangju glanced at each other, and both of them had extremely surprised looks in their eyes.

"Not bad. He Yi nodded and said, "The person who did evil today is not Li Jian at all, but a demon monkey who has changed into Li Jian. I asked carefully, the person who sent the demon monkey into Huyang City, disguised as blue-eyed, must be a barbarian country. It is expected that they are going to use the ability of the demon beast to come here to inquire about information, and if they find that we are defenseless, they may directly cross the border and raise troops to attack, after all...... Alas!"

After thinking about it, He Yi still didn't say anything about the snow beast.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Gongliangju and Liao Qianzhong, but this

The fewer people who know about things, the better.

He didn't want more people to panic because of this.

He Yi really hated those "Holy Immortals" from the Xiuzhen Continent, they only thought about how to hunt demon beasts and improve their cultivation, but they didn't think about the consequences of doing so.

Originally, there was the existence of the Snow Beast Xuanming in the Northern Wilderness, and the Snow Beast Xuanming was the totem of the barbarian country, so for the barbarian country, the Northern Wilderness Snow Field was a sacred and inviolable existence.

So for thousands of years, these two countries will not collide together.

But now, the snow beast has disappeared, and its life and death are unknown under the siege of countless cultivators.

This is tantamount to directly upsetting the equilibrium between the two kingdoms.

"This ...... Lord, this matter involves state affairs, do you want to report it to the imperial court first?" Liao Qianzhong frowned deeply, if it was something else, it would be fine, but if there was really a barbarian person, it would really be a big trouble.

There is no trivial matter in state affairs, and in all fairness, the affairs between the two countries cannot be handled by a single remote county.

He Yi nodded, then began to shake his head again, and said, "I have also thought about this matter, but it is not feasible. The saint has not appeared for eleven years, and now Xu Ming is fully responsible for the major affairs of the country, and he is a puppet raised by those saints from the Xiuzhen Continent, and he has always looked at those people. If he knew this news, with the greedy nature of the cultivators, he would definitely send a large number of mortal armies into the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain to look for strange beasts, or even to find barbarian countries. When the time comes, I don't know how many people full of blood will be buried in the wilderness. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell silent for a while.

It is true that with the self-esteem of those cultivators and the disposition of not taking human life seriously, it will only make more ordinary people fall into the sea of fire.

They don't care how brutal the process really is.

Liao Qianzhong weighed carefully for a moment, and said: "Since the barbarian merchants mixed the demon beasts with the crowd, they must want to understand the internal situation of our country, if I am weak and he is strong, they will definitely send troops to Fan, if I am strong and he is weak, or the strength of the two sides is balanced, then they have to consider whether to take this risk." In my opinion, it is better to use my Huyang elite soldiers to set up a defensive front outside Pingyuan County, practice day and night, and show the military might, so that even if it cannot cause deterrence, it can be delayed for a while. ”

He Yi lowered his head and thought about it, did not express his approval or veto, turned his eyes to Gongliangju, and asked, "Yunyi, do you think this method is feasible?"

Gongliangju hesitated, but shook his head, and said: "If you want to show the power of a country, you must at least pull out a front that stretches for twenty miles, and the soldiers and horses of the department must be at least 50,000 elite soldiers to do it. If the front is shortened, it will not be enough to create a substantial deterrent...... Besides, the soldiers and horses stationed outside, the daily consumption of grain and grass is also a large amount, with our current reserves, only for two months, when the time comes, all the soldiers and horses will have to be transferred back again, and it will not have any effect at all. ”

This is indeed the case.

The word deterrence requires a strong enough strength in front of you.

The delusion of using the power of a city to deter a country is really a bit of a fantasy.

"There's another way. Li Liangyu came out of He Yi's shadow.

"Oh, what else can you do, but it doesn't hurt to say. He Yi looked at Li Liangyu's immature face with interest.

This cold and stuffy oil bottle, although I can't read a single big word, can always show courage and wisdom far beyond ordinary people at critical moments.
