Lu Zhenying heard the meaning of his words, and asked in surprise: "Do you say that the lord of Dongcheng is full of personal pockets and corrupt the law?"

Pan Xuan said: "My general is in a high position, and within a radius of hundreds of miles from the Xuangu, everything belongs to him, and it is not illegal to take anything." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info he takes this money .... I'm afraid I gave it to someone else. ”

Lu Zhenying pondered: "Did he give it to his confidants? But I don't see any extraordinarily luxurious mansions in the city?"

Pan Xuan sighed: "Maybe I'm thinking nonsense, but he makes profits from business, I'm afraid that he will use this money.... The money was given to the people of the Northern Demon Ten Thousand Ghosts. ”

Lu Zhenying looked at him with a stammering mouth, and couldn't answer for a while, Cao Su hurriedly said: "You said that General Dong took refuge in the Northern Demon? He fought a battle with the Northern Demon and won a battle, if he colluded with the Northern Demon, then the Central Plains countries would have been captured by the Northern Demon." ”

"He said that the people in his 'Little Snake City' all escaped from the Northern Xuanbing City. But I look at the thousands of people in the city, how can they get out of the trapping and siege of the Northern Demon? Not to mention that the snake uncle is not close to the ice wall, and this move is even more difficult. They didn't escape, but General Dong exchanged real money for it. ”

Lu Zhenying thought about it carefully, it was true, she was well versed in the way of being a king and the law of governing the country, and she was horrified, and she couldn't help but worry about Dong Caiying, and said: "He... He is in a high position, leading the country's heavy defense, but exchanging gold and silver with the enemy, which... This is a big sin to lose your head. Since there is a friendship of money, it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious of... Moreover. ”

Pan Xuan said gloomily: "That's why he didn't hesitate.... Do not hesitate to use harsh means to prevent people from leaking secrets, but.... But..... I'm afraid that the current queen has some clues after all, otherwise she wouldn't have sent Qin to investigate him. ”

Although Cao Su didn't know the cause and effect, after listening to it for a long time, he also understood most of it, and said: "Duke Dong is a very good person, he doesn't forget the old kindness, and would rather violate the rules of heaven than save the people, this is a chivalrous and great kindness." ”

Lu Zhenying was very happy, combed the apprentice's hair, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you can say this, and it is not in vain that I will teach you carefully." Cao Su grinned and said, "This girl will be a heroine in the future, and she can always tell the difference between right and wrong." ”

Pan Xuan shook his head and said: "Right and wrong, I'm afraid it's difficult to make a public opinion." The general is obsessed with his fellow villagers and elders in the past, which is certainly respectable, but he is not false because he is a traitor. Behind the ice wall in the north, the northern demon is cold and snowy, and it is not easy to garrison, and the general redeems the hostages with money, which undoubtedly gives the northern demon great benefits. In terms of the people of Xuangu and the Central Plains, if they learn about this, General Dong will be a heinous and evil person. ”

Lu Zhenying knew that what Pan Xuan said was good, lowered his head and pondered, pursed his lips and said nothing, but Cao Su said: "Maybe he spent his money, formed a friendship with the Northern Demon, and was peaceful with each other, in exchange for the stability of the world, which is also a great merit." ”

Pan Xuan smiled: "You always have something to say, and your eloquence is not bad." But if you think about it carefully, the Northern Demon crossed the Black Wilderness Grass Sea and captured the northern snowfield, most of them were unswerving, and they would never stop there, and behind the ice wall were the great rivers and mountains with mild climate, fertile soil, and picturesque scenery, how could they be stopped by the ice wall for the rest of their lives, and how could they be moved by a small profit? The ice wall was just a delaying tactic for the ten thousand ghosts to quell the war with the ten thousand immortals, but the Northern Demon still continued to send troops to invade Xuangu City, and one day, the war would be rekindled. The Thirty Kingdoms of the Snow Ridge are living proof. ”

Cao Su was very excited, and said: "Okay, then I have to work harder to practice, and then I will fight against ten thousand ghosts and make great achievements, and I want the world to know that there is such a big hero as me Cao Su." ”

Lu Zhenying was once victimized by the rebellion and was displaced, and said with a wry smile: "What this kid said is light, he would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world." If the world is safe, who wants to start a war?"

Pan Xuan didn't say much, but thought in his heart: "General, general, the Northern Demon prophecy is not groundless. It's not... It's not that I want to harm you, I just saw the opportunity and took advantage of the situation. Even without me, without... Without a blood cloud, there would be another... Good luck. ”

Dong Caiying himself buried the trouble, he couldn't let go of his feelings and righteousness, he was tortured and entangled by the past, like praising his father chasing the sun, like Jingwei reclamation, didn't he know that one day this would cause a big disaster? He didn't know that all this was a bamboo basket after all? He knew better, he knew better than anyone else, but he would still do it, because of righteousness? Because of benevolence? No, no, because Luo Fanglin abandoned him, took away his child, made him miserable, and made him angry. He needs to vent, he needs revenge, so he throws himself into turbulence, igniting a flame, regardless of the consequences.

Even if he kills everyone close to him.

It was the coil that created Luo Fanglin, and the coil was the culprit. But can Pan Xuan stop Dong Caiying? No, the will of heaven cannot be violated. If he is destined to fall into the abyss and be born again, then so be it. Pan Xuan is just a spectator, whether it is Luo Fanglin or Dong Caiying, Pan Xuan can no longer control them, and they are far beyond Pan Xuan's expectations.

The wheel was already on the edge of the cliff, and below it was a smooth and steep slope, and anyone who saw it could not help but push it.

The more chaotic the world, the more joyful it is, this is nature, this is human desire.

Pan Xuan didn't think much about it, the road to the countries of the Snow Mountains was still very long, and there were many dangers on the way, he should be careful, think less, be calmer, don't be sad because of the future parting, don't be crazy because of the joy of conspiracy.

The three of them bought a comfortable carriage in the town of Geche, followed the official road, greeted the bright moon, and braved the cold wind, and traveled for about ten days to arrive in the western Gobi Desert.

This desert is called the Great Desert of Norresa, in the language of the local nomads, it is the meaning of the ghost desert, it is said that the radius is nearly 10,000 miles, the heat is extreme, like a scorching hell, there are no birds and no beasts, hence the name. Its landform is sometimes plain, sometimes undulating sand dunes, and occasionally there are large oases, and it has become a desert country.

There are many legends in this desert, strange and inexplicable, its most central place is full of high mountains and yellow rocks, continuous into a ring, covering an area of more than 1,000 miles, just like a labyrinth, in the labyrinth, there is an ancient empire, it is rumored that it has perished, leaving behind demons and monsters, gold and silver treasures innumerable. Since ancient times, there are countless treasure hunters, go deep into it, no life survives, the surrounding sand people are mostly the world's big bandits and heroes, but they do not dare to approach, called "Dragon Slaying Yellow Spring City".

Cao Su listened to Pan Xuan talk about this, his eyes were like stars, he was extremely excited, and said: "Uncle Shi, you are so capable, why don't you go to Dragon Slaying Huangquan City and take a trip, dig out the treasures in it, and strengthen our Shanhaimen power?"

Pan Xuan said indifferently: "My kung fu is so high, but it's easy to go." Although the labyrinth is known as complicated, in the eyes of my Taiyi Eight Generals, it is not worth it to go straight to the main hall that opens the door to welcome guests. ”

Cao Sudao: "Yes, didn't I say that you can do it? Do you dare to go to the next one?"

Pan Xuan said: "Dare is naturally daring, even if there are unbelievable monsters, how can it be compared to the black rain old monster? I am not even afraid of the black rain old monster, why am I afraid of these little demons?"

Cao Su listened to him boasting, but he didn't agree, and said angrily: "Then you should go." ”

If I go through this road and dig this tomb, although the name will be immortal and the benefits will be innumerable, but if I am not careful, this miracle will be destroyed in my hands, even if it is not destroyed, it will be damaged and not light, then it is not a great sin? Therefore, I can do but not do, but I can go but not go, it is a good deed of indifference to fame and fortune, noble and elegant. ”

Cao Su said angrily: "You put gold on your face, but in the end you said you wouldn't go, are you afraid?"

Pan Xuan said: "The world is ignorant and ignorant, laughing at me for being timid and incompetent, but I don't know that I have a unique skill and magical powers? ”

Cao Su shouted: "Master, uncle, he scolded me for being ignorant. ”

Lu Zhenying listened to the two of them arguing nonsense, arguing endlessly, secretly felt funny, and said: "Don't make any noise, we are going to the thirty countries of Xueling, don't go to this desert." ”

Cao Su was disappointed, but after all, she missed her Xiaoyao master, and this dragon-slaying Huangquan City was too dangerous, she didn't want to go to it to suffer, so she had to give up.

The three of them sold their horses for camels, and made a detour from the edge of the Norreza Desert, and the journey went smoothly, and after another month, they crossed the steppe river, and finally approached the iceberg plateau of the Thirty Kingdoms of Snow Ridge.

I saw the end of the vast grassland, the mountains rose up, the green stopped here, the white was born from the black, the frost and snow covered the sky, the sun was bleak, the white mist was gloomy, and the cold wind went back and forth. The endless, hard-to-harvest snow-capped mountains are like a moat screen, isolating living beings, spring and summer, and the outside world.

After the snow-capped mountains, there is only cruel ice and snow, and that is the snow-capped country that is unrecorded in history.

Cao Su was in high spirits again, and in the cheers, he ran out for several miles in one breath and came to the foot of the mountain.

Under the snow-capped mountains, there are still cold winter forests, the leaves are bright red, the scenery is strange, there are herdsmen and hunters living in it, hunting the skins of deer, bears, tigers and raccoon dogs in the snow-capped mountains. Panxuan found the residents and asked them for their roads, but no one understood the Central Plains language.

The old man with sturdy bones muttered, although he couldn't understand it, but he used the internal power of the phantom spirit to cross his thoughts into it, and the old man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly fell to the ground in fright, shouting: "Doro, Doro!"

Pan Xuan couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What Doro, I look so kind and handsome, how do you look like you've seen the devil?"

The old man called out to his son, "Doro, Doro!" and shouted a few more words, and the son ran away, and the old man took out his axe and blocked it in front of Panzi. Pan Xuan's face was flat, his eyes were like snakes, and he was angry in his heart, so he was about to quarrel with this old man, Lu Zhenying hurriedly said: "You give me honesty! Don't scare him." He said softly to the old man: "Grandpa, we are not wicked people, you don't have to be afraid..."

The old man's body trembled, but he gritted his teeth, ignored Lu Zhenying, and only stared at the coil. The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, only to hear someone shouting in the distance: "Where is the dream ghost?"

Pan Xuan was slightly happy, and thought: "It turns out that Doro means a ghost who continues to dream, and what this person said in the original words is okay." Lu Zhenying raised his hands and shouted, "We pass through here, and there is no malice!" )
