Following.

Early morning.

West examination room, southeast end, Qulong.

The landform of Qulong is very unique, it is just four thousand miles away from the main peak of Fangcun, and the radius of a hundred miles is an open plain, the plain is desolate, overgrown with weeds, and it is endless. There are several dead wood forests that can be seen sparsely, and the central ten miles is a Huangshi Xiongshan Mountain. Qulong does not belong to the important place of the garrison, because the plain with a radius of 100 miles makes it difficult to supply grain and grass. But it's a great place to defend against the enemy. Huangshi Mountain is majestic and steep more than 800 zhang, and there are only two southeast roads on the road up the mountain, and the rest are all hard Huangshi. As long as you pay attention to the heavy troops guarding the crossing, even the masters of the Apocalypse Realm will not want to cross it.

And the faction stationed here is quite unique.

Headed by the Xichuan Tang Sect, they were united by nearly 100 large and small forces, totaling more than 4,000 people. It stands to reason that the alliance formed by so many forces must be scattered, but they have merged so steadily that there may not even be disputes. It can be seen from this that the Xichuan Tang Sect led by that must have its ability, otherwise how could they suppress the situation that should have been divided by only one hundred and ten people?

"Senior sister, did we make or lose this time?"

"It's definitely earned. ”

"But how do I feel like I've lost so much..."

"You shouldn't be afraid of that Xia Xun, right?"

"I'm afraid not, it's just that he's really not easy to mess with. ”

“......”

Qulong Mountain, the top of the west mountain.

The company camps are dense, the flags are flying, and the hunting is sounding.

On the west side of the mountainside, a barracks made of pear blossom wood is the most conspicuous and stylish. In front of the gate of the barracks, there stood a seven-zhang banner with the word Juyi written on it. At the four corners of the house there is a backing stone, cut by yellowstone along the steps, and the windows are sealed with oiled paper. Although the work is rough, it also looks particularly atmospheric.

At this time, the atmosphere in the barracks was a little heavy.

Fourteen people sat in front of the long table in Limu, and dozens of people sat around the long table. Between their eyebrows, there is a trace of melancholy or worry that will not go away...

As the biggest winners of the battle of Salamander, they don't seem to have much actual benefit. Although Tang Xiaotang indirectly beheaded Bai Lingyun's thousands of people with his calculations, seriously injuring the royal family. Bite off Xia Xun's three hundred warriors and make them linger. It can be described as a big victory, but it also annoys Xia Xun. Who Xia Xun is, now everyone in the Gathering Hall knows it very well. Bullet command room, plot heaven and earth, dare to change the sun and moon in nine days. Such a legendary figure, since he said that he wanted to come to Qu Long to get the gift in return, then he would inevitably come.

"If he does come, what are we going to do?"

"Four thousand battles and fifty, what else do you need to do?"

"I'm just asking. ”

"Heh, if he dares to come, I'll spank him until his ass blooms!"

“......”

Seeing that everyone was worried, Tang Xiaotang, who was sitting at the bottom, raised his mouth slightly, looking quite disapproving: "You can rest assured." ”

"No matter how strong Xia Xun is, he is only fifty people, what is there to be afraid of? And he has a murderous feud with Yu Youran, I categorically don't believe that Yu Youran will be so generous and give him the knife. If nothing happens, when Xia Xun's people heal their injuries, Yu Youran will take back the knife. At that time, no matter how capable Xia Xun is, it will be difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. If he dares to come to worship the mountain, I will make him cry!"

At the end of the words, Tang Xiaotang shook the pink flesh fist fiercely, pretending to be ruthless.

Tang Chuan, who was sitting in the first place, still couldn't settle down.

He hesitated and said: "Of course we are not afraid of Ming Zhan, but Xia Xun is the best at conspiracy, and he will definitely not confront us head-to-head." If he is plotting, he will be unguardable. ”

"Brother Tang Chuan's words are wrong. ”

Sitting down in Tangchuan was an older man, dressed in a dark brown flag uniform, not like a person from the Central Plains. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "In terms of conspiracy, our little sugar girl is not necessarily worse than Xia Xun." Besides, Xia Xun led four hundred northerners to occupy the geographical advantage of Yumu Tian, and he was almost wiped out by the royal family. In the end, they were able to barely win with those weird red pills and Xia Xun's layout. Now that we are in danger and our troops are 100 times more numerous than the enemy, what storm can he afford to turn over?"

"Huh..."

Tang Chuan was preoccupied and sighed.

So far, there is no turning back from the bow.

Xia Xun's beam must have been settled, even if Tang Chuan is unwilling and willing, he has to carry it hard, and he is not afraid to say more. Who made him the elder brother of the Xichuan Tang Sect? Tang Xiaotang's pot, who does he not carry it?

"In that case, let's go with him. Candy, what are your plans?"

"Heh..."

The combination of Tang Xiaotang and Tang Chuan seems to be very similar to Xia Xun and Mo Xian, as well as Yu Youran and Mo Yan, both of whom are senior brothers, and senior brothers should be ordered to carry out swords.

Tang Chuan asked helplessly, and Tang Xiaotang glanced around the long table.

Then he smiled casually: "We can despise the enemy strategically, but we must not take it lightly tactically, otherwise there is a possibility that the ship will capsize in the gutter." From now on, the patrol manpower of each department must be doubled, and the southeast road is covered with a large array of nets, and the snail claws are arranged at the bottom of the mountain, and the feather ecstasy nail is placed next to the road. The rest of the traps are set up in ten steps, and the rest of the people are stationed at various points in Qulong Mountain day and night according to the Nine Palaces, ready to attack at any time. Lian Shan, you pick four hundred nimble brothers to be sentinels, and spread out one hundred and twenty miles one mile each. Hao Hao, you lead thirty iron horsemen, monitor the salamander Ze day and night, no matter whether you detect movement or not, you have to send back the letter bird every two hours to report the situation. Let's brake with static first and see what tricks he can play. ”

“......”

South, 1,200 miles.

Huishan Chunyang Camp.

Yu Youran transferred out a thousand troops to garrison Rongtianling, and at this time, Huishan seemed a little lonely, and even the white clouds in the sky could not be seen, and the lonely geese wandered, and the fallen leaves were scattered.

Since entering Huishan half a month ago, the people of the Pure Yang Dao here have also been idle. When you have nothing to do, you can meditate and exchange ideas to pass the time. Therefore, every day after dawn, looking up and down Huishan from a distance, you can see the sword aura everywhere, and hear the sound of sword skills. People who don't know still think that there is something wrong in Huishan. Chunyang is actually not aggressive, but the sword intent in their bones cannot be concealed. If the sword is not unsheathed, the best sword will be wasted.

The stream in the north of Huishan Mountain is like a swimming dragon, winding down from the mountains, forming 100 waterfalls of different sizes and lengths, and under the reflection of the scorching sun, they turn into golden ribbons hanging in the mountains, which is not enchanting. The summer breeze carries the hot breath and caresses the turquoise fields, like a small lake made of jasper, clear and clear.

Horses graze, Taoists dance swords, idlers meditate, and a few butterflies freely shuttle through the flowers. This should be regarded as the most leisurely place within an inch of thousands of miles. After all, no one catches lice on a tiger.

"Whoa..."

The water is clear and the fish swim freely.

The shade of the trees is cool, and the frost is cold.

Cold people are extremely delicate, and they can't stand the slightest exertion, nor can they stand too warm sun. After early in the morning, Yu Youran ordered the Taoist to move the bamboo chair to the small waterfall in Beishan, and continued to go alone in the shade.

Smart people always seem to have more things in their heads than ordinary people, so much so that they always like to put themselves in a quiet environment and search for wisdom hidden in the depths of their minds. Xia Xun likes to soak in the stream in a daze, Peony likes to sit in the bamboo forest and read, Bai Lingyun likes to calm his mind by painting, and Yu Youran seems to prefer to meditate in the cold and cold place...

The breeze blew through the long snow-white hair, covering the fallen leaves on the ground. The snow-white carpet is like a snow-white plain, and a snow-white plum blossom is planted alone on the plain, covered with frost. It is said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, but for this plum blossom, it seems that she will never have a time to exude fragrance, and the bitter cold is attached to her all the time.

I just don't know if she will feel cold too.

"Uncle Junior. ”

Da Da...

Drink lightly and scare away a nest of kingfishers.

The famous Taoist trotted up the mountain with a bamboo basket. The faint crispy fragrance is not only emitted from the cracks of the bamboo basket, but can be smelled from a distance.

"Sha..."

Walk to the edge of the small waterfall and put the bamboo basket on the ground.

The Taoist took out a bowl of steaming rice and two plates of side dishes, one meat and one vegetable. One of the plates is fish grill, which looks quite exquisite. The deep-fried golden fish is turned outwards into pieces, like delicate maple leaves, and small pine nuts are like golden sand with coriander dotted on the fish's body, which is delicate and does not lose the heat at all. Coupled with the crispy meat aroma, it makes people salivate immediately when they look at it, and they can't help but want to take a bite.

The Taoist whispered: "The little cabbage in the mountains has been eaten yesterday, and the new vegetables in the field will have to wait for another two or three days to be harvested, so Senior Sister Jing has to use wild cauliflower to make this salty cabbage heart, but it is also quite refreshing." And this roasted fish, the famous pine nut fish, was specially ordered by Uncle Mo to be sent from the salamander by a fast horse. It is said to be Natsuhiro cuisine, so I secretly tasted a few bites, and the taste was really beautiful. It's just that the road is far away, and the dish sent to Huishan is already cold, so Senior Sister Jing heats it up slightly with a simmer. Although the taste is a little worse, it is still delicious. ”

The little Taoist chattered, but Yu Youran was still not very interested.

The pale little hand slowly picked up the silver chopsticks, tore off a piece of tender meat from the belly of the roasted fish, and then put it in his mouth. Chew slowly, Svenwen. But the delicacy did not seem to impress the ruthless woman, and her pale complexion never changed in the slightest.

"Okay. ”

After tasting the taste, the two words light and tasteless came out coldly from Yu Youran's mouth.

But when the gossip heard this, his eyelids suddenly picked.

The movements were subtle, but they couldn't hide the surprise in his heart.

Yu Youran's mouth is so tricky, the little Taoist who serves her all the year round knows it very well. This little uncle has never liked meat food, and he relies on some fruits and vegetables on weekdays. In the past, when she was in the Chunyang Palace, the chefs in Xianxing Mountain changed their tricks every day to cook for her in order to fill her stomach, but after so many years, there were few meat dishes that could make her swallow. And now, now this roasted fish can get her evaluation of "acceptable", which means that she can eat this meat.

It can be seen that the delicacy of this dish is anything but ordinary.

"It's fine... That's it..."

"It's rare that Uncle Xiao likes it, so let's eat more. Later, I will repair a letter to Uncle Mo, and ask her to order someone to come over tomorrow. The Taoist chuckled softly.

Picking up a piece of fish meat and eating it carefully, Yu said leisurely: "No need. ”

"Uh..."

Yu Youran directly rejected the kindness of the Taoist.

The little Taoist seemed to have been accustomed to such cold words, and the corners of his mouth were dry and smiling, so he didn't say any more...

The mountains and rivers are cool, inadvertently separating the frost from the scorching sun under the shade of the trees. Yu leisurely ate slowly, the little Taoist stood quietly aside, and the frightened kingfishers flew back to their respective nests, squinting their eyes deeply. I don't know if the fish in the water can also smell the crispy aroma of the dish, and they slowly swim from the other end of the pool to the cold water here, and their brains come out of the water.

However, the taste of this pine nut fish is indeed beautiful. In the rest of the time, Yu Youran ate half a bowl of rice, and only a small half of the tail and fish head were left of the pine nut fish on the wooden plate...

"Uncle Junior. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that Yu Youran was eating about the same, the Taoist on the side said softly: "There is a question, I wanted to ask you yesterday, but I didn't dare to ask." ”

"I wonder why I didn't just take Xia Xun?"

The Taoist shook his head: "Although I also want to know this question, I actually want to know what Xia Xun wrote on your hand." ”

"He didn't write. Yu said leisurely.

"Huh?"

The little Taoist was stunned: "Then what did she do holding your hand?"

Yu Youran slowly put down the silver chopsticks, picked up the teacup on the side and drank it carefully, and then said coldly: "He drew a circle." ”

"Circles?"

"Yes. ”

The little Taoist was even more puzzled, and then frowned.

After thinking about it for a moment, he asked tentatively, "Is this a dumb riddle?"

"Yes and no. ”

Yu leisurely slowed down and said as a reminder: "A circle written in your hand is two words." ”

The Daoist's brow furrowed even deeper.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply shook his head and said, "I can't think of it." ”

Yu Youran didn't seem to want to say it explicitly, and said vaguely: "The circle is drawn in the palm of the hand, and there are five fingers on the hand, which is a word." The circle itself also represents a word. ”

The little Taoist was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately realized.

"It turned out to be him. ”

“......”
