There is definitely nothing good about visiting at night, the person in front of him is wearing a black robe, if Xia Xiao has not lost his vitality, he will definitely be able to see through his true face, and he can also judge his approximate identity through the fluctuation of his breath. Everyone's aura is unique, and their position and position are different. But Xia Xiao, who has lost his vitality, can't see anything at all through the observation of details. However, based on his appearance, this must be a burly middle-aged man.

If it weren't for the fact that his father and eldest brother were not far away and could sense him, Xia Xiao would think that he was an enemy. But he obviously had no malicious intent, just stretched out a big hand and took off the black hat of the jumpsuit, revealing an old face with incomparably vicissitudes. This face does not have very significant features, that is, the pair of eyes have the profundity of a great cultivator, like hiding a sea and a starry sky, which can make people sink deeply and find it difficult to escape. But fortunately, this person did not rely on his own strength to make Xia Xiao fall into such a cage.

"This trip, let's talk to the third young master. ”

The old man has long hair, which is tied up and draped, which has a strong sense of freedom and ease. But it is difficult to extricate himself from being in the mortal world, and no matter how many exterior decorations he has, he can't resist the tiredness on his body, so that Xia Xiao understands it when he sees it, but the words are full of meanings that are useless no matter how useless your words are.

"You're from the Imperial Army, aren't you?"

The old man didn't choose to sit down for a long time, and Xia Xiao didn't stand up stubbornly, he knew that the people from the imperial army would come to the door. This old man is a face, although he can't feel the fluctuation of breath, but just by looking at his temperament, he knows that he is not an ordinary person. Such a person has a high status, and now he comes to himself, and there is only one thing.

"The third young master is really smart. ”

"When I saw that you were delayed, I thought you had seen my character clearly, but I didn't expect to persuade me. But before you start, I'll make it clear that I'll do things according to my own rules, so don't offend me, it's better to say less. ”

"Two years ago, you didn't have such confidence, but now your strength is soaring, you have encountered many opportunities, you have been favored by the seniors of the academy, and you can also invite a strong person in the curl, which is not an exaggeration. But what I'm going to say has nothing to do with these, it's just about Great Xia and the entire dynasty. ”

"So you still have to persuade?"

The old man, who did not smile, was extremely firm and said:

"I don't need you to do anything, just keep silent. Of course, this will not lose the slightest benefit between you and the Xia family, and it is not related to the academy, it is only related to this war, it just so happens that you can't use your vitality now, just sit in the back with peace of mind. ”

Xia Xiao locked his eyebrows, vaguely feeling that things were worse than he thought. He originally thought that the people of the imperial army were looking for him because of the academy. As soon as they entered the academy, Daxia and Nanshang were fighting openly, and Ji Qingling and Su Huan were even more desperate to deal with Wang Ling, eager to kill them somewhere, so as to weaken the strength of Nanshang's cultivators.

As time went on, they moved from the foothills to the mountainsides, and such things were few and far between, until they disappeared. Because they owe too much favor to each other, it is no longer suitable for such calculations, and they are all evading, more things are better than less, and there is not enough time to improve their strength, how can they have so much thought about framing or considering each other?

After all, they are not wicked people who are unforgivable, and they can't be hard-hearted. But Xia Xiao had always thought that the imperial army would persuade him again for the sake of Great Xia, but now it seems that this is not the case, because they already know that they will definitely come back.

Xia Xiao and the old man looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion. The latter didn't say it for a long time, not because he was organizing the language, but because he was confused by Xia Xiao's eyes. The vitality in Xia Xiao's body has been completely cut off from him, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a deterrent, but the chill that passes through his body and goes straight to his heart is like an evil ghost wandering in the world.

Xia Xiao itself is a mystery, and the old man is not surprised by what he does, but when he frowned slightly, he spoke, saying:

"The army of the Southern Kingdom and the shooting column is coming, and for the sake of Great Xia, the morale is rising, and they will resist a single Nanshang march. Let's not meddle, and you don't make a noise. What's more, don't let the poisonous old man you bring do anything to Nanshang, don't!"

Let your people not attack the enemy?

Xia Xiao snorted unabashedly, full of sarcasm, as if he had heard some kind of joke that was not funny at all. However, he gradually smelled that something was wrong, and his face changed greatly, and the eyes that looked at the old man in front of him were even more panicked and incredulous. Is this what my father said was an inhumane imperial army? He really did something extremely good, and he came up with this method to make the southern kingdom and the archery army forcibly dependent on him. Xia Xiao wondered, is the heart of the person in front of him iron?

Perhaps in disbelief, Xia Xiao propped his elbows on his thighs and leaned forward. The candlelight on the table was so dim that he couldn't see anything, but he had already simulated the scene that the old man wanted to express in his mind.

The Imperial Army may have somehow made Nanguo and the Shooting Column agree to resist the Nanshang army alone. And after this war, Xiyang City must still be there, but the army of the southern country and the shooting column will sacrifice a lot. In this way, Nanguo and the shooting column can only help Daxia with all their hearts, because their already small strength has lost a lot, and they can only be crushed in front of Nanshang, and there is no hope at all. But how could Nanguo and the shooting column allow Great Xia to attack independently? Can't you see that this is a trap?

Xia Xiao was curious, looked up and asked:

"What's the trick?"

"Their compassion. ”

The old man did not hide it, explaining:

"I just let the army who went to meet me play some bitter tricks, and they took the initiative to ask for battle. It seems that the weak people of the southern country and the islanders of the shooting column are very loving, but they should also move forward, only when their strength is weakened, will they know who is worthy of attachment, and their hatred with the southern merchants will be deeper. ”

"They were kind enough to help, but you had such an idea?"

"As long as I am healthy in Great Xia, the Southern Kingdom and the Shooting Column can disappear like the Cloud Kingdom, and it doesn't matter if the seven countries in the world become six countries and four countries, my task is only to protect the safety of Great Xia. ”

The old man's expression made Xia Xiao feel disgusted, it was an extreme selfishness, much more serious than himself. And there is a deep darkness hidden in those dark blue eyes, as if he has other plans, and he controls all the direction of this war, so he has such confidence.

Xia Xiao looked at it for a long time, but the old man was extremely calm, as if everything was in his hands.

"I've seen it all, do you know the current affairs, take care of yourself, and tell your poisonous elder. ”

"As I said before, I have my own rules and I won't be swayed by a few words from you. ”

The moment he heard that plan, Xia Xiao already had his own ideas and knew what he should do, so it was useless to talk more at this time. But he got up and made it look like he wanted to rest, but the old man behind him did not leave. After a long time, Xia Xiao glanced behind him and said lightly:

"It's late at night, and I'm going to rest. ”

"Originally, I didn't want to bother, but the poisonous old man said that you made the decision for him before I came, so you have to give me a clear answer. Now in the entire Xia army, only you and him are uncertain factors, and the rest are soldiers. Military personnel are better controlled, and a single command can mobilize millions of people from top to bottom. ”

"You're talking too much. ”

"I want you to know that your denial alone will not affect the overall situation, but if you do swim against the current, it will not end well. ”

"You're threatening me?"

Xia Xiao turned around and looked at the old man with murderous intent in his eyes. He didn't like the latter's behavior, although the imperial army was known to everyone in Great Xia, no one knew about it, but no one knew the inside, no one knew how they operated. Even Yi Yi did not have the right to ask about it.

Now the entire Great Xia Alliance may not know what will happen, and neither does Yi Yi, but as long as one sentence is an order from the imperial army, everyone can obey it. can make so many southern people and shooters die unjustly on the battlefield, Xia Xiao can't do it.

"I know that you are strong, and you will be stronger in the future, and the temporary restraint will only become your conditioning period. But the imperial army secretly guarded the Great Xia millennium, if the Ji family is on the bright side, it is the trunk of the tree, the branches and leaves, then we are the roots. If you cut off a tree, the body and branches will turn into decay. But as long as there are roots, the tree is alive. If you are too obsessed with the leaves of the torso, you may be implicated when the tree falls. ”

"You mean to say that Great Xia will die?"

"The imperial army is here, and Great Xia exists, but this dynasty will change in all aspects. ”

"What are you protecting?"

"Royal blood, the name plate of the family. ”

"What about the people of Li, as well as these soldiers and countless families who have dedicated themselves to it?"

"It's all false, don't pay attention to it. ”

"Fuck your shit!"

Xia Xiao's anger was like boiling water, and he was even more dissatisfied with it. If Ji Yi is really the torso, and the person in front of him is the root, he would rather take the risk of believing the former. An emperor who loves the people and soldiers is much more useful than a man who operates everything in secret. But the tall old man lowered his eyebrows and looked at Xia Xiao as if he were a child.

This kind of look Xia Xiao is the most annoying, as if he is just a child and doesn't understand anything. But many times adults know everything, but they don't know that their own views and ideas are not necessarily all correct, and even the master closest to God does not dare to judge the right and wrong of anything, how can he?

Xia Xiao's firmness was shown in his eyes, but the old man who had never made a move showed a little anger when he looked at him, and his palm moved up in an instant, choking his neck before Xia Xiao was aware of it. Xia Xiao's first reaction was not to frown, but to open his hand and hold the pitch-black knife before locking his eyebrows.

Compared with the Pu knife, this knife is far less powerful, but it is more spiritual. It is a real spiritual weapon, but there is no possibility of the blade coming out of the sheath tonight, and the old man just said:

"The royal family surnamed Ji is the hand, I am the brain that controls it, you should understand, the entire Great Wilderness has a brain, and the mountains, rivers, seas, winds, thunder and lightning are all controlled by it. ”

"One yard is one yard, and things related to people's hearts, especially governing the country, cannot be described in this way at all. ”

"You just have to promise me that I will do nothing, and I will do just that. ”

Xia Xiao stared at the old man in front of him, the higher the position, the more he knew how to take it seriously. Therefore, he grinned extremely boldly, shook his head, and said word by word:
