Chapter 523: Watching at the Table

If Xia Xiao can use his vitality, even if he is injured, he can draw a knife with his hand. But he is essentially just an ordinary person who has lost his vitality, so this scene is very similar to that in Heitai City back then. Other than that, Xia Xiao has never been so embarrassed. But with his temperament, no matter what kind of environment he is in, he doesn't care.

Xia Xiao is like a mountain that can be changed at will. You can bloom in spring, and the crisp birdsong ripples under the warm spring breeze. It can also be lush and vibrant in the heat of summer. Occasionally, it looks like an underwater world, blistering everywhere, rising from the ground to a very high place, and even reflecting the colors of colorful dreams. It can stand in the world as the frozen mountain that he is best at, as if it contains everything, but there is nothing but ice.

A few streaks of blood oozed from under the bandage, and they kept gathering and falling to the ground in drops. Just like the sweat on his forehead, it was winding downward.

Xia Xiao's eyes were like the tip of a steep iceberg, and he noticed some movement and immediately looked at it.

It was like a gust of wind, coming from a distant place, and though I don't know where it was, it swept through the air, through countless streets, and quickly passed through the corridors, and lifted a few snowflakes so that the thin Xiaoice cones pointing down broke in unison, and fell to the ground with a snap, shattering everywhere.

When Ah Candle saw this scene, he was going to run over and break a few more, but Xia Xiao's nerves were frightened by those sounds, his breathing became heavier, and his heart beat faster and faster in his chest, like a pump machine.

It's coming!

Xia Xiao felt that the mysterious wind had arrived in front of him. It enveloped its entire body and slashed through its throat, almost killing itself. He seemed to have escaped, but the wind was only a precursor to a shower. The next moment, a strong wind like a fierce dragon, still coming from nowhere, but unceremoniously swallowed Xia Xiao in one bite, and then the strong wind was like a knife, and began to wreak havoc.

In an instant, there was a threat of death, Xia Xiao was almost suffocated, and even saw that his limbs were broken. In the splash of blood, his body gradually fell, his neck was twisted, and he fell to the ground, extremely miserable, but the world was cold, no one cared, let him fall, let his blood flow. When the blood became cold, he finally died in the heavens and the earth, under the clear sky.

The body is unconscious, and the pain is all in vain. Countless small streams of water continue to gather towards one point, like countless streams, running towards the vast ocean. Eventually, they gathered, galloping faster, like a fierce horse running across the grassland. But the river is waiting for the sea, and the only thing waiting for this great drop of sweat is the air and the land beneath it.

Beads of sweat tossed and turned, dripping in an instant, like a blooming flower when it fell to the ground. It reflected Xia Xiao's face, extremely cold, extremely dazed, and full of doubts.

After a breath of gasp, Xia Xiao finally came back to life. He still stood in place, his mouth biting the hilt of the knife, the scabbard falling on the instep of his foot, everything seemed to have happened, but the palpitations before stayed in his heart for a long time. He looked around again and again, but he didn't see anything, everything was normal, except that in the courtyard corridor on the side, there were indeed a few pieces of ice broken, and the rest were fine.

Unable to move, he picked up the scabbard on the ground with his two hands, magically merged the knife with it, then clamped it under his armpit, and walked to the doctor alone.

Xia Xiao did not forget to send a few people to guard in front of Ah Candle's door, what everyone saw was Xia Xiao's concern for her, she was really heartfelt, and someone had to guard her when she slept. However, they couldn't see Xia Xiao's worries, which a few people couldn't stop at all.

Along the way, Xia Xiao was very careful and often had palpitations. After re-bandaging, he immediately went back.

After bowing to a few departing veterans, Xia Xiao walked into the room. Ah Candle is still sleeping, every afternoon for an hour, almost a habit. However, Xia Xiao still felt that Ah Candle had been suffering from long-term lack of sleep in the Medicine King Valley, and the tiredness accumulated day and night was released in his relative leisure.

Xia Xiao sat at the table, looking at Ah Candle, waiting for him to wake up. This pig-like girl snored slightly, which made Xia Xiao's impetuous heart sink when she listened to it. But it was undoubtedly a torture to be like this all the time, but no one could take the initiative to see the leader of the imperial army, but the next time he fought, Xia Xiao would take the initiative to find him, and he thought of a way.

When Ah Candle woke up, he saw Xia Xiao sitting at the table and staring, and smiled very beautifully.

After everything was cleaned up, Ah Candle clumsily put on light makeup, and only went to see Xia Wan when she was quite satisfied. The latter does what he does every day with his advisers to figure out how to win, and although the situation is changing all the time, it is certainly too late to make a plan after the change. So her task is to predict the direction of the war.

This kind of trend is not a fantasy, but every subtle point can affect the overall situation. What Ah Candle could think of was nothing more than relatively normal factors such as climate, but her psychology and willingness to fight were something she couldn't think of or understand.

The counsellor is constantly pondering the elements, like walking on the edge of a cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss of thought. There are countless ultimate-minded strategists in history, so they are not much easier than military generals. After all, most of the plans implemented by the latter were come up with by them.

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle sat on one side of the hall, two cups of tea and a plate of pastries, and began to listen to this long discussion.

In order to improve efficiency, they had already thought about it in advance, and at this time they took a piece of paper to record their thoughts and spoke one by one, but many opinions were overturned. The strategist tried to defend himself, but pondered, and finally threw the paper into the brazier, where it was burned to a clump of white ashes.

Compared with many old strategists, Xia Wan was very humble, not a little stubborn, and never quarreled with anyone. Compared with the menacing people, she always speaks softly, and even if she is refuted, she still expresses her opinions calmly.

Ah Zhu didn't like such brain-consuming things, and few of them could understand those plans, and he didn't have the slightest idea of how many people were fighting and how many people were fighting. But she never got sleepy, and she didn't want to leave, firstly because of Xia Xiao, and secondly, because Xia Wan's behavior was too ladylike, so that she liked it as a girl. The second reason is more important than the first.

Xia Xiao once said that the second sister is somewhat similar to Shu Shuang. But Ah Candle thinks that some heroic second sisters are more temperamental and impeccable than Shu Shuang, and she likes it very much.

In Ah Candle's eyes, Xia Wan's every move is very charming, and she can't learn the self-confidence of poetry and books. And many of the things she considered were difficult for other strategists to cover, so although many people couldn't hold their faces and asked difficult questions, Xia Wan answered very easily. Since she can make this point, she can solve the problem about it perfectly.

"Everyone took a break, and they all thought about whether Xia Wan's proposal could be used, and we will come back in half an hour. ”

After Su Zhongmou finished speaking, everyone left, and he also walked out of the hall door after looking at Xia Xiao and Xia Wan with a smile. Ah Candle handed Xia Wan a cup of hot tea, wiped her mouth with honey and said:

"My sister has worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's all about what should be done. ”

Xia Wan smiled, took a sip of hot tea, and took Ah Candle's hand to take a walk in the courtyard together. It's all snow and ice, so there's nothing special about it, but the immaculate ice and snow itself is fascinating. What didn't match this silent scenery was Ah Candle, who asked questions like a chatterbox, and what she was most curious about was how Xia Wan knew so much. If Xia Wan was older, it would have been forgotten, but she was so young and knew no less than those old men.

"Since I was a child, I have loved to read, and I have been involved in astronomy, geography, and human history. When you read more books, you will understand more things, and your thoughts will naturally be broader. ”

"I've seen a lot of it, but I still don't know anything, my mind is empty. ”

"It's okay, I was like this at the beginning, it was hard to understand the truth, and I always felt that the things in the book were very dead and difficult to penetrate. Whenever this happens, you have to find a quiet environment to think. When everything is figured out, the truth in the book will naturally be engraved in the mind, and then you will know that the truth is always dead, and people are alive. It is not possible for a living thing to copy a dead thing, so it is necessary to use it flexibly. ”

Although what Xia Wan said was very ordinary, after many years, Xia Xiao still felt indebted to the second sister. When she was a child, she was demented, and all the energy in the family was focused on herself, and the second sister was alone many times. Maybe it's to pass the time, the second sister is more and more fond of reading, she has learned a lot of truths from books, and she grew up earlier than her peers, but Xia Xiao is always very sad, how lonely should it be to find the world she wants from books?

And Xia Wan's real promotion and qualitative change is still in Longgang, not to mention the quiet at that time, the most difficult to accept the reality of her life is to fill her life with books, and when she has time, she listens to her father talk about the way of governing the army and the army, and listens to her mother talk about the business market. The more she learned, the easier it was for her to apply something else to another thing. With such a clear brain, everything has traces and rules to follow.

After chatting for half an hour, when walking to the hall, Xia Xiao leaned into the second sister's ear and asked her softly:

"Nothing strange lately, right?"

Xia Wan shook her head slightly, and said very mysteriously:

"There will be no strange things in the future. ”

In the past, Xia Wan had little contact with the government and politics, because she was not interested, and she did not know much about many departments in Great Xia. But during that time in the southern country, in order to deal with the difficulties of Xie Helin and his mother and concubine in the future, she paid special attention to these, and studied for a long time from the beginning of the political affairs department of the southern country to the relevant departments of Daxia. So she felt that the imperial army would not be so bold, although Xia Xiao violated their orders, the effect that could be achieved was good after all, and today Xie Helin also stopped barking, if the imperial army made another move, it would really disturb the army's heart.

Xia Jiajun's strength in the entire alliance is weak, but Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu's strength is very strong, coupled with the identities of Xia Xiao and A Candle, if something happens, the entire alliance will be in chaos.

It wasn't until the evening when she was free to give Xia Xiao a good analysis, and she really made sense. But Xia Xiao's heart was always hanging and difficult to fall, but this night, he saw the leader of the imperial army again.
