Chapter 44: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
After tossing and turning in the secret passage of the mechanism for three times, the elders finally confirmed that Xiao Ye had not only quickly mastered the newly acquired weapon, but also that this kid's body protection spiritual power and offensive and defensive skills seemed to have improved during the days of their retreat. Then he was let out of the cave and went home.
As soon as Bai Ye left, the elders immediately rushed into their own rooms in the cave.
The three old men were all preoccupied.
Twenty years ago, they accompanied the son of the Holy Spirit King to escape from the hunt and cross the ocean to the Eastern Continent. At first, it was ideal, and it took only one year for them to make great contributions to the Dalan country and gain a firm foothold in Dacheng.
The one who connected the communication between the royal family of the Lan Kingdom and the Holy Son was the remnants of the Western Continent of the Nine Old Churches.
But since the Holy Son set out to rebuild the big city, all the activities of building Fangyi, a backup spiritual source, were carried out in secret, and only the Jiang family and "Xiaobai" knew about it.
Even the pursuers of the Western Continent, who were the last to storm the city, did not find out, and they hid their last hope, the body of the Son, here.
Now, there is a person from the Western Continent who claims to belong to the Nine Old Churches, but knows Fangyi, and he also uses the bone whistle invented by the Holy Son.
Either the people of the Western Continent behind the Wei Kingdom have long been in the shadows.
Or, is it him? He's still alive?
The Great Elder and the Third Elder glanced at each other in disbelief.
Huoyu whispered, "Since you ...... This person is in the Haizhou camp, Xiaobai...... White should know the bottom fine. We'll see...... On his side, he asked, asked, asked clearly. The more, the sooner, the better. ”
Elder Feng nodded: "I still have to hide it from Xiaoye." He doesn't have to know that now. It's our own business. But this child must be left in the village, and he must not follow these people out and run around again. ”
"Yes. Especially...... It's pro-...... The people of the barracks. Huoyu hesitated, "You, you, you say, the guards are all ...... You know what?"
The second elder suddenly muttered to himself: "It shouldn't be......"
"How?"
"How?"
"Xiao Ye's physique is the same as that of the Holy Son, and he could have fused various spiritual powers. But when I touched it just now, there were several strange spiritual powers in his body, which were always entangled and stasis in the sea of qi. What's going on?"
By the time Bai Ye climbed out of the cave, it was already dark.
Although exhausted, he was full of joy. After all, the birthday gift is complete.
I won't talk about the gift of the Great Elder. It's the same as every year, it's just a set of mahjong tiles invented by my father, but this time I used Tuotuo animal bones, which felt better.
Now it seems that this gift is also a bit out of place, and there is no time to gather cards to play now.
Fortunately, the elders also agreed to him, and when Xiao Yi came back, they would give him spiritual power.
Of course, the premise is that under the condition of absolute security and absolute confidentiality, Yi Chi can return to Fangyi from the third tun.
The first line of defense of the Lan Kingdom was repaid overnight, and the Thunder Emperor is said to have entered the first tun. There are also countless enemy detachments, which have been scattered around the third tun and Yongshun, and are wreaking havoc on the edge of the river network on the second line.
On the Kannan Plain, there are now people everywhere. Once the slightest mistake is made, the enemy's tracking exposes the location of Fangyi. That's a real problem.
It is precisely for this reason that the elders are very dissatisfied with the pro-military camp entering the village to make such a big noise.
The situation on the battlefield was chaotic, and it was not easy for the marshal to receive the letter and send Yunzhou archers to rescue the Fangyi pack team. And sending the pro-military battalion to Yongshun to escort the Jiang family caravan was also a last resort.
It was naturally best to keep Fangyi's secret firmly, but he didn't dare not be prepared.
The elders didn't care about that, and after leaving the customs, they scolded An Bo and Captain Cheng for a long time. The more people gathered, the greater the fragrance, and the pro-barracks target is too conspicuous, and it may attract someone.
The elders will be bombarding the mountain tomorrow morning. To be sure, no one wants to get close to the village.
The meaning of the elders is that the handsome "Xiaobai" who has never met before, you have to listen honestly.
Thinking about it, he had already walked to the middle road by the old town square, and suddenly a man in black walked over.
The unprepared Bai Ye was taken aback. When I looked closely, it turned out to be the little senior sister.
The Old Town Square is surrounded by a ring of extremely low stone houses, and the narrow passage between the stone houses makes it impossible to pass two people side by side.
The little senior sister looked at Bai Ye who was blocked at the crossing, and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Borrowed." ”
At this moment, the little senior sister was holding a large pile of dewy horn mushrooms in both hands, trying to maintain her balance.
"We are vegetarians. ”
There is no reason to ask people to return to the middle road, and he can't care about the private matter of girls stealing supper. Bai Ye, who was blocked at the crossing, smiled subconsciously and immediately held back, hurriedly retreated and made way for the road.
The little senior sister also seemed to regret her talking, so she lowered her head suddenly, and walked down the mountain quickly to protect Xian Yu.
Bai Ye looked at the small back and felt a little headache. The caravan will return to Quanzhou tomorrow, and the Jiang family is honestly resting in the inn, how did this kid come to the old town?
Although it is not explicitly stated that the old town is a forbidden place, the current situation is special, and the mountains are full of newly established organs and fortifications, and it is easy to have accidents if you run around. If she makes a mistake, the eldest lady may not make a fuss again.
Suddenly, his stomach growled, and Bai Ye remembered that he wanted to go to Sister Xiaolan's to eat in the afternoon. I haven't eaten for most of the day.
He shook his head with a wry smile, followed the little senior sister from a distance, and walked towards the inn at the bottom of the mountain.
There was no word all night, and in the blink of an eye it was the early morning of August 20.
Bai Ye was woken up. He came out of the room in the inn, and as soon as he entered the lobby, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Cheng Bo, who is quiet and silent, is scolding his subordinates.
Amber, who came to see off the Jiang family's caravan, gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Tao Lao was annoyed and angry and kept circling in the room.
None of the three young ladies were in the house.
Bai Ye's head buzzed and dizzy. Shouldn't you, what kind of demon are you doing again!
Sure enough, their sister ran away again?
The pro-military camp was guarded up and down the mountain. Fifteen hundred Yunzhou archers were ambushed at the foot of the mountain and on both sides of the Xijiang River. The upstream and downstream ferries are guarded by rangers.
How did the eldest lady of the Jiang family run out?
Just as he was confused, Uncle Ba flew into the lobby. He looked at the people with different faces, and said bluntly: "The white horseshoe is special, go out of the village and go to the direction of the third tun." ”
Sure enough, she still went to find the big handsome.
With a "snap", Tao Lao's hand slapped heavily on the counter. The thick counter was immediately slapped into a smithered.
Looking at the old man's flushed face, and then at the broken wood on the ground, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows. I was about to say something, but someone pulled my sleeve from behind.
Linglan stopped Xiao Ye and shook her head gently.
She knew her brother was angry.
He designed and built this counter for himself. For the past two years, she has carefully wiped it every day, and the countertop has long been visible. Now ruined by a slap, no matter how good Xiaoya's temper is, she has to be anxious.
Xiaolan gently pinched Bai Ye and whispered, "It's a serious matter, let's find someone first." ”
Bai Ye suddenly found the direction of spreading anger. He's really fed up with this wayward lady.
"Steward Tao, I'll go get her back! If you want to mess around, don't blame me for not being merciful!"
So saying, he hurried back to the room, and in a short time rushed out of the inn with a long bag on his back, and ran to the stable outside the door.
Such a move is a different taste in the eyes of different people.
When he arrived, several elders thought about it.
Seeing the young man running out angrily, Ba Hong nodded and said, "Hurt and angry." Not good. Then he went out.
An Luoyong secretly looked at Linglan with a complicated expression, and after a while, he said to Cheng Wuwu: "Chase him back." It is estimated that the third tun has already started fighting. ”
Captain Cheng naturally understands. Today is the day when the marshal made an appointment to fight the people of the Ul country. The battlefield will cover more than ten miles around the third tun, and it is only ten miles away from Fangyi. They are plunging headlong into the territory occupied by the Ulcers.
Although the safety of Miss Jiang is very important, Bai Ye can't have anything to do with it. After running for a few miles to calm down, you have to bring him back.
How could Naibai be light and fast at night, and when Captain Cheng, who was heavily armored, caught up with him and Ba Hong with his own military camp, he was already at the fork of the official road ten miles away.
The uncle and nephew were squatting on the side of the road at the moment, fiddling with a few white-armored soldiers.
Captain Cheng flew off his horse and rushed to Bai Ye and Ba Hong to check on the Yunzhou soldiers.
They are firmly bound by secret arts, and no one can untie them for a while. In the end, it was Bai Ye who stretched out his hand and sucked it for a long time before he dissolved all the invisible spirit silk that was bound to them.
Needless to say, this is the handiwork of the elder sister.
But the relieved Yunzhou soldiers insisted that only one man in white and black broke through.
Alone?
What's going on?
The more than 100 cavalry of the pro-military camp had dispersed earlier, guarding the surroundings in a semi-ring.
Suddenly, the cavalry on the hillside blew a police whistle.
Several people hurriedly turned over and got on their horses. As soon as I rushed up the small slope, I saw a white horse rushing straight from the hills not far away.
It's Jiang Jinglan's white horse!
On the hill behind her, a whole team of Gu family scouts rushed down from afar. It's just that the speed is far less than that of the white horse, and the distance is getting farther and farther.
Captain Cheng whistled, and the soldiers shouted, urging their mounts to rush over.
However, in just over a hundred steps, hundreds of silver-armored cavalry had already spread out in formation in an orderly manner, and the middle cavalry and the white horse passed by, meeting the Gu family scout cavalry head-on, and the left and right wings marched in unison, outflanking the past from afar.
Between the gentle hills, the three elite cavalry converged into sharp silver arrows, shining with sharp light.
Seeing that there were many people here, and that they had already received their target, the group of dark brown scouts did not dare to enter the range of bows and arrows, so they simply reined in their horses and turned around and retreated. In the blink of an eye, he turned over the hill and disappeared.
Things are moving too fast. Bai Ye was still hurriedly unburdened, and the team had already gathered back.
Seeing that Jiang Jinglan was "escorted" back in frustration, he simply jumped off the horse with his baggage, and scolded as he walked over: "Are you a nymphomaniac? Don't die? You don't care about other people's lives?"
The man on the white horse bowed his head and was silent for a long time, and slowly pulled down the face towel.
Everyone present was suddenly stunned as if they had been struck by thunder.
Big sister?
So, where did Jiang Jinglan go?
