Xu Xiaoyi was restless, he was born and raised in Biyu City, he heard that Jinpeng Fort was powerful and terrifying since he was a child, and he had a deep fear of the Dubu King, he couldn't stop the Dragon King's actions, but he couldn't do it without concern in his heart.

The fourth watch had passed, and the day was about to dawn, Xu Xiaoyi couldn't sit down anymore, paced back and forth in the room, and tried to order his subordinates to investigate the situation several times, but finally held back.

Gu Shenwei came back at the last moment before dawn, and when he entered the house, he collapsed, Xu Xiaoyi used all his strength to support him, and dragged him to the bed.

The Dragon King's already pale face seemed to be piled up with a layer of snow at the moment, even his lips lost their color, and his eyes were staring at Xu Xiaoyi, obviously enduring great pain.

When it came to the end, Xu Xiaoyi calmed down, he knew that the Dragon King had the hidden danger of going mad and needed a quiet environment to resist, but the current situation was very dangerous, "Is it really a Dubu King?"

Gu Shenwei blinked in recognition, he had to grit his teeth to deal with the cold qi in his body that was on the verge of getting out of control, and he really couldn't find the strength to speak.

Xu Xiaoyi's mind had never turned so fast, "The Dragon King doesn't have to think about anything, I'll make arrangements." ”

Xu Xiaoyi's own residence was not safe, he still had a number of strongholds inside and outside Tongtian Pass, but none of them were unknown and could meet the requirements of the retreat, he thought for a while, went out to give orders, and asked all his subordinates to defend a few strongholds, hoping to temporarily confuse the enemy's search.

But none of his subordinates could stop the Jinpeng killer, even if it was surrounded by three circles, it couldn't protect the safety of the Dragon King, and he thought about it for a while before he made his own decision and decided to invite Shangguan Ru to come over.

Shangguan Ru seemed to have a premonition that something was happening, so he not only arrived himself, but also brought dozens of female soldiers.

The thousand female soldiers of the country of incense are still escorting the noblewomen of various countries, and only a few of them are led by the red bat to join the sect leader.

Shangguan Ru glanced inside from the next door and asked Xu Xiaoyi to talk to her in the next room.

"The Dragon King can't stay here. Shangguan said.

"Yes, I have an idea, Shang Liao and Prince Shule brought five thousand Fu [***], of which one thousand were originally directly under the Dragon King, and the garrison was not far from here, about a mile away, they were very loyal to the Dragon King and could protect the Dragon King's safety. ”

"Is Shang Liao worth trusting?"

This is a problem, no matter how loyal the army is, it has to obey the orders of the right general, if Shang Liao wants to put one or two assassins in, no one can stop him.

"Then what should I do? A little closer is Xiao Wanguo, and the Beiting army is stationed there, can it be done?"

This is also a question, Shangguan Ru said, "Do you believe me?"

"The Dragon King believes in you, and I believe in you. ”

"Send the Dragon King to Xiaowan Kingdom, Duo Dun has agreed to release the grain and grass convoy in the Guannai, and the Dragon King can mix in it. ”

"But safety on the road ......"

"Let Shang Liao and Prince Shule send troops to escort them, don't tell them about the Dragon King for the time being, I will also follow. ”

Xu Xiaoyi nodded, the distance between the capital of Xiaowan Kingdom and Tongtianguan was a little closer than the garrison of the directly subordinate army, and it seemed to be a good idea to use the cover of the grain and grass convoy, he quickly calculated, "Borrow troops from Shang Liao and Prince Shule, and then make the necessary arrangements, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the convoy that set off this morning." ”

"Then wait a day, I'll protect the safety of the Dragon King, and you go and get busy. ”

Completely handing over the Dragon King to Shangguan Ru, Xu Xiaoyi was a little uneasy after all, his right hand was raised unconsciously, gently rubbing the mustache on his lips, and he thought for a while before saying, "The person who injured the Dragon King is the Dubu King." ”

"I know. Shangguan Ru actually showed a smile, which made Xu Xiaoyi feel very unsure, "King Dubu will not come in person, he is hiding in the Mochu Mansion, and he definitely doesn't want Dotun to know that he has probably returned to Jinpeng Fort at this time." ”

Xu Xiaoyi felt that Shi Gongzi's analysis was very reasonable, "If it is just an ordinary killer, Shi Gongzi will definitely be able to deal with it." ”

Shangguan Ru smiled and nodded, not pointing out an obvious fact: the people who followed Dubu Wang were definitely not ordinary killers.

Xu Xiaoyi hurriedly went out, since Shangguan Ru came with female soldiers, there was no point in setting up a suspicious array, he withdrew his subordinates from all over the place, let them be in charge of the perimeter guard, and he went to meet Shang Liao and Prince Shule.

Shangguan Ru arranged for female soldiers to defend the house, she was familiar with the style of Jinpeng killers, so she arranged it very carefully, and even sent people to take turns to monitor the roof.

When everything was done, she crept into the dragon king's room.

Gu Shenwei was exercising to fight the cold, his whole body trembled slightly, his face was as white as paper, but a few drops of sweat oozed from his forehead, his madness had been greatly improved, but this time it was menacing, more serious than he imagined.

Shangguan Ru looked at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Gu Shenwei opened his eyes and nodded very slowly.

Shangguan Ru walked out, Hongfu brought a chair, she sat in the courtyard, took off the wooden knife and put it on her lap, and whispered, "Bring the wine." ”

The red bat did as he was told, but with a jug of wine and a tiny cup.

Shangguan Ru didn't care, the red bat poured a full cup, and she took it in her hand and played with it for a long time before drinking it all.

Xu Xiaoyi was busy all morning, things were not very smooth, the right general Shang Liao was very surprised by this sudden request to borrow troops, asked east and west, and reluctantly agreed after a while, and was only willing to send fifty soldiers, "There is no more, you know, the main forces are in the south, and I only have these people." ”

Prince Shule was easier to talk to, but he didn't bring many soldiers, so he could only divide a hundred people, plus dozens of temporarily hired swordsmen, and finally made up two hundred.

These swordsmen have all been personally screened by Xu Xiaoyi, and most of them have cooperated before, at least they look familiar, and they will not be counterfeited by Jinpeng killers.

The next thing is to find a credible convoy, and it took a lot of time, it was already afternoon when everything was done, Xu Xiaoyi's mouth was dry, he couldn't even drink water, and he was still thinking about where there would be loopholes, this was the first time he had a direct confrontation with the Jinpeng killer, except for a little more people, there was no advantage.

Shangguan Ru was still slowly tasting wine in the courtyard, and a small pot was only less than halfway down, Xu Xiaoyi rushed back, poured himself a few glasses, shook the empty wine jug, and said in a low voice: "I'll send someone to send some more later." ”

The red bat went back to the room to rest, not in the courtyard, Shangguan Ru nodded quickly in agreement like a child doing bad things, "I asked someone to take Xiao Fengchai over, since you want to protect it, let's protect it together." ”

The Dragon King and Xiao Fengchai's transfer of the Meng family's property will not be concealed for too long, and the first place in Biyu City will soon attract much attention.

"What about Lu Qiying, do you also need protection?"

"Not for the time being, King Dubu won't care about him. ”

After all, Lu Qiying is just a caravan master, and it is not worth fighting alone.

"Tomorrow the Dragon King will be mixed in his convoy and set off early in the morning, Lu Qiying doesn't know, the Dragon King ...... Can you do it then?"

"It should be fine. ”

Xu Xiaoyi let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and glanced at the gradually setting sunset, "Night is coming." ”

Everyone in Biyu City knows what this sentence means: for ordinary people, it is a signal for revelry, and for Jinpeng killers, it is when they open their eyes and start killing.

"You don't have to stay here. ”

"No, I'm going to stay. ”

Shangguan Ru looked at Xu Xiaoyi's sweaty cheeks, thinking to himself that the Dragon King was not alone, and his supporters were even more loyal than the partners around Dodun, "But it's useless for you to stay here." ”

Xu Xiaoyi's face was slightly red, but he knew that Shangguan was kind, "Okay, I'll stay outside and be on call." ”

Shangguan Ru smiled, "Let people bring the wine first, it's been a long night, I don't want to just sit like this." ”

At the beginning of the night, Shangguan Ru set up a small table in front of him, on which there were four wine jars side by side, respectively containing grassland milk wine, Western Regions wine, Central Plains daughter red and flower carving, more than ten wine utensils lined up, from cups to bowls, and a few kinds of fruits.

Xu Xiaoyi is much more generous than the red bat, and he is not worried that the tenth prince will get drunk.

She was the only one in the courtyard, and the other female soldiers were on duty everywhere, and they would arrive at the slightest sound.

Shangguan Ru drank very slowly, and spent more time savoring the differences and characteristics of each wine, thinking that it was more interesting than taking a big sip, and soon she understood that she had to have the right drinking friends to arouse the interest of binge drinking, at this moment, she was accompanied only by the bright moon in the sky and the figure on the ground.

The dragon king will never become a good drinking friend, Shangguan Ru felt regretful, picked up the wooden knife, danced alone for a while, and volatilized the wine in his body, and then he was drunk, stared at a row of drinking utensils for a long time, and finally chose the largest bowl, and whispered before drinking: "Fortunately, the red bat can't see it." ”

Drinking a bowl of wine and dancing with a knife, Shangguan enjoyed himself, and began to feel that it didn't matter if he had a drinking friend or not.

Using internal strength to force out the drink is one of her self-taught skills, which can not only ensure the amount of alcohol, but also avoid the embarrassment of drinking too much, although it is very wasteful, she is tired of it, and even feels that it is also helpful for cultivating internal strength.

She danced with a knife without a fixed routine, purely out of interest, using the dark incense floating shadow taught to her by the old man Mu, and her left hand practiced the seven turns and seven tricks of centering fingers from time to time, and her mood was getting better and better.

The first and second shifts passed quickly, Shangguan Ru decided to control the amount of alcohol, and there was still more than half a night, she couldn't let Xu Xiaoyi send wine anymore, and she couldn't protect the Dragon King drunk.

The third and fourth watches were safe and sound, and there was a little left of each of the four jars of wine, Shangguan Ru made up his mind to endure not touching them, the wooden knife in his hand danced faster and faster, and under the moonlight, the figure became like a faint mist.

"Your knife skills have improved a lot. A voice said.

The female soldiers who were hiding everywhere immediately took action, and Shangguan Ru raised his hand to signal them to stay where they were, and turned to look at the familiar figure that came out of the dragon king's room.

"But I still haven't found your whereabouts. ”

"With the speed of your progress, I'll soon be unable to hide it from you. Have you learned something else?"

"The Book of Nothing was stolen, and I have all dispersed. ”

"If you opened your mouth, I would have given you the Wudao Divine Skill, but what made me angry was that you not only stole the book behind my back, but also gave it to outsiders. ”

Shangguan Ru smiled, "I know, but I'm also as afraid of you as everyone else, so I don't dare to speak." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Dubu King's voice became cold when he spoke again, "You still chose to side with the Dragon King after all, you are very smart, you actually hid from the world, when did you send him away?"
