Sima Wenzhi originally thought that the Xia army would attack the city again after dawn. But after two days in a row, the wind and waves outside the city were calm, and there was not a single soldier of Xia Guo.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that a horse appeared in the distance and walked slowly towards the south gate of Kasaka.

After not seeing anything abnormal for two days, Sima Wenzhi ate lunch, sat cross-legged in the room, and resumed his cultivation.

After several consumptions in a row, the aura in the body is about to bottom out. The follow-up battle is unclear, so resume quickly and prepare early.

Not long after he sat down, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house. Thinking that there was an urgent battle, he hurriedly stopped his movements, got out of bed and opened the door.

"Dao Chief. ”

The person who came was An Jie, and he took the initiative to greet him when he saw the door open.

"Not long ago, the Xia State sent an envoy, and that person brought a letter, stating that it would be handed over to the Heavenly Master of the Wei State. After greeting, he said the purpose of his trip and handed over the letter in his hand.

"What did you say?" asked Sima as he took the letter and opened it.

Xia Guolai didn't say anything, just told to consult the letter. An Jie responded truthfully.

There was no need to ask others, Sima asked a few times and after reading the words in the letter, he knew what was going on.

"Dao Chief, what is the matter?" An Jie asked when he saw him finish reading.

"It's an invitation. Sima asked, handing the letter back.

The content of the letter invited him to go to the night meeting twenty miles south of Pusaka City after the application of the hour today, and talk at night with candles.

"This is a Hongmen banquet, and the Taoist chief can't go to prevent Xia Jun's bad intentions. An Jie also read it quickly, and then hurriedly reminded him.

An Jie's concern is not unreasonable.

Xia Guoli's plan to cooperate with outsiders was broken by Sima Qian. At the critical juncture of the siege, he also stabilized the morale of the army.

Helian Ding did not move for two consecutive days, and at this time, it seemed that he was very likely to be playing a game, intending to get rid of him and then attack the city.

"It's not impossible. Sima replied after hearing this. After responding, he saw that An Jie was going to persuade again, so he opened his mouth first.

"Judging from the past few days, although Helian Ding is vicious, he knows current affairs. If he could be told that he could not attack Kasaka, he would probably retreat on his own. ”

"Even then, it's too dangerous. An Jie still disagrees.

"Where is the envoy of the Xia Kingdom now?" asked Sima Zhi, ignoring the advice, and asked him about the whereabouts of the visitor.

The epistle only agreed on a time, and the description at 20 miles was too broad, and he wanted to see the person who came and ask if there was any more message.

Moreover, even if he did, he had no intention of going as the letter had agreed. In order to prevent the aura from violently disturbing, the aura in his body recovered slowly and was not full at the moment.

"I am waiting for a reply in the temple. Seeing this, An Jie stopped advising and replied.

It was not easy for the envoys of the Xia Kingdom to wait.

The two countries of Wei and Xia attacked each other year after year, and in the hearts of the officials and people of the Xia State, the Wei soldiers were all demons and demons. When he heard that he was going to send an envoy to Kasaka, he instinctively wanted to resist.

So when he first waited in the temple, his heart was full of apprehension.

Fortunately, he didn't meet anyone in embarrassment, and the refreshments were not neglected, and the apprehension in his heart gradually dissipated. I just hope that someone will come and tell him to reply, so that he can leave here soon and return to the summer camp.

While he was praying, some men came in from outside the temple and came towards him. The first two of them were An Jie, the main general of the city who they had seen before, and a young man with bundled hair who they had never seen before.

"Who wrote this letter?" asked Sima Qianzhi as he approached the envoy of the Xia Kingdom.

"I don't know. The envoy of the Xia Kingdom said after hearing this.

"When Your Majesty sent someone to deliver the letter to me, he only said that he would present it to the Heavenly Protector of Wei. ”

The letter was not signed at the end, and Sima asked who could not deduce who had made the invitation, but he knew that this person was not Helian Ding.

However, listening to the tone of the envoy's relay, this person's position in the Xia State should be similar to that of the Heavenly Master of the Protector. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth to respond to the temptation.

"Go back and tell your real family, and I'll go to the appointment after tomorrow. ”

"I will definitely bring the Heavenly Master's reply to my real person. The envoy responded. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had missed his words, and quickly lowered his head to hide his expression.

"Twenty miles away is too wide, have you ever said the exact location?" Sima asked again with a smile after his tentative response.

Hearing the questioning, the envoy of the Xia State knew that what he had deliberately concealed had been known to the other party. Then he stopped hiding and looked up and replied.

"Then there will be a candle hanging, and the Celestial Master will know about it. ”

After half of the envoys, a car drove out of the south gate. At first, he walked as slowly as he came, and the horses suddenly galloped after dozens of zhang, carrying the coachman and the envoys of the Xia Kingdom away quickly.

It didn't take long for it to be lost.

Not long after the envoys of the Xia Kingdom left the palace, Sima Wenzhi also walked out of the palace. Before leaving, he told An Jie that no matter what happened in his mansion tonight, there was no need to panic, and there was no need to send someone to check on it.

After Shen Shi, it was getting dark.

In addition to the guards who were responsible for patrolling and visiting, the defenders and civilians of the city gradually fell asleep. An Jie, as the main general, was worried that the Xia army would not be able to rest peacefully in the siege of the city for a few days, so he also rested on the high table.

Before he slept peacefully, a patrol guard came to inform him that there was an abnormality in General Pingxi's mansion.

"What is the anomaly?" An Jie was already prepared in his heart, and after hearing this, he did not panic and asked.

"There was a sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon groaning in the house, and there was a loud wind. The guard replied.

"That's the Heavenly Master practicing spells to help us defend the city, don't panic, don't go to investigate and disturb. After An Jie listened, he relayed the words he had been told during the day.

After dark, Sima Wenzhi no longer had any scruples about causing a disturbance of the aura, and began to adjust the spirit to restore his cultivation.

An Jie reminded that this event would be a Hongmen banquet, and his words were not unreasonable. He had expected that he would be able to make a move with the person he had invited.

When fighting, the amount of aura has an impact on the performance of the spell. But what is more important is the depth of cultivation. Sima asked the unscrupulous spirit tuning whale swallow, because he wanted to try to make a breakthrough in cultivation.

One drum is vigorous, then the drum decays, and the three drums are exhausted.

After three attempts, the aura was consumed a lot, and the cultivation was still in the middle stage of the god-man. Seeing this, Sima Wenzhi stopped trying, and took Chu Ling out of his arms.

This thing was given to him by Ling Shuang when he was in Qinglong Mountain. When he saw Chu Ling, he thought of Ling Shuang again, and he didn't know where she was or how she was doing.

If you can't break through your cultivation, you can prepare more aura. There is a golden pill in the dantian in his body, and there is a spiritual storage in his hands outside his body, both of which can store spiritual energy in case of emergency.

In the middle of the night, the moon is shining.

Sima Wenzhi noticed that the storage spirit was full, took it into his arms, and was about to go back to the house to rest. Before he could go back, Langya walked out of the house and sat in the courtyard facing Mingyue.

Seeing this scene, a thought floated through his mind.
