Chapter 348: A Complicated Situation
For the next three days, the Haoxian tribe was on guard day and night.
Xie Gongbao sent dozens of secret sentinels to the Demon Mountain, always vigilant against the sneak attacks of Ma Yuan and Di Ji. Fang Siqiao deployed from it and made suggestions. The empty phase sits in the immortal hall, waiting for this catastrophe. As for Chen Huanshan, Lu Jingsheng, and Lan Caihe, when they heard that Ma Yuan and Di Ji were planning to send troops, they didn't plan to go back to Zhongzhou and stayed to help, but Bai Luhan was embarrassed, he and Ma Yuan were relatives, and they just wanted to help each other and withdraw in time, but they were afraid that Xie Gongbao would be offended because of this, so they had to stay.
After three days of panic, in the early morning of the fourth day, the spies reported that a large number of enemy troops had been found in the Demon Mountain.
Nie Xiaoqiao commanded the sect to go out of the city, and Fang Siqiao accompanied the army to offer a plan, planning to set up an ambush in the demon mountain.
Chen Huanshan and the four of them didn't listen to others' deployments, and went up to the demon mountain and waited quietly.
Xie Gongbao and Kongxiang flew up to the clouds, ready to take the lead first, but when the two of them flew over the enemy, they found that the soldiers and pawns were retreating, and they disappeared without a trace in a short time. When the two returned to the city, another spy reported that the enemy had all withdrawn.
Nie Xiaoqiao ordered the spies to probe again, and there was no doubt that he dared to withdraw his troops.
But as soon as the ambush soldiers withdrew, the city gate had just closed, and the people and horses all the way suddenly came to the city.
When they climbed up to the top of the city, they saw more than a dozen Banner Cultists.
These Banner Corpse Cultists carried their burdens and only shouted to see Xie Gongbao.
Fang Si weakly recognized: "These people are not Ma Laowei's subordinates, the leader is Nalan Tuba's dog-legged white dragon messenger." β
Xie Gongbao said in his heart: "Is the White Dragon Messenger? β
He had pretended to be a white dragon envoy, true and false, he couldn't help but be curious, followed Fang Si's weak eyes, and found that the appearance and body shape of this white dragon envoy were five points similar to him, but he was a little older, and he thought to himself, no wonder Sister Zhu Ji asked me to pretend to be him.
When he was thinking about it, he found that the white dragon made a woman next to him quite familiar.
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that this woman was none other than the shopkeeper Mei who opened a wild shop in Yan Yu's national friendship mulberry territory. ββHalf a year ago, when Xie Gongbao first arrived in Yan Yuguo, he drank wine in the wild shop of the shopkeeper Mei, when he wanted to cover the imperial privet and deal with Qiao Mubai, thanks to the help of Zhu Ji and the shopkeeper Mei, he successfully resolved the crisis.
Under the city, Shopkeeper Mei pointed to Xie Gongbao and whispered a few words to the White Dragon Envoy.
The white dragon envoy nodded, and immediately arched his hand upwards: "This envoy is ordered by my sect and the Sect Master of the Holy Martial Heavenly Venerable to come to pay respects to Xie Zhangguan." Oh, Xie Zhangguan don't have to worry, Di Ji and Ma Yuan dare to offend Xianwei, they don't measure their strength, this envoy showed the sect leader's order, and has ordered Ma Yuan to return to the main altar, if he wants to come to Ma Yuan and leave, Di Ji will not dare to send troops to attack again. β
Xie Gongbao replied downward: "I don't know what happened when the white dragon came here?"
The White Dragon Envoy glanced at Fang Si weakly, and then replied with a smile: "This envoy was sent by the sect master and made a special trip to thank you. According to the owner of the altar, Tu Yin withered back then, and it was you who took the trouble and escorted me for thousands of miles, so that my young lady was spared from suffering, no matter how grateful you are, this kindness is not exaggerated. No, recently learned that everything was fine after the young lady returned to the ruins, the sect leader was very happy, she knew that the young lady was stranded in the Haoxian clan and did not return for a long time, so she sent the envoy to send ten boxes of dowry, one is to repay the kindness of the palm, and the other is to entrust the young lady to you, hoping that the two of you will get married as soon as possible. β
As soon as he finished saying this, Fang Siwan started scolding: "I can't get married, what's the matter with Guan Nalan Tuba! The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart!"
Bai Long's smile did not change, and he arched his hand upwards: "Miss, what you said is not right, no matter what, the sect leader is also Miss's stepmother, and this stepmother is also a mother, she naturally wants to ask about your family affairs, and she should also ask." β
Without waiting for Fang Siweak to continue scolding, Xie Gongbao pulled her arm: "Don't scold, if he wants to be polite, just accompany him to be polite, at least Nalan Tuba didn't come, it means that she doesn't plan to harm you for the time being, we can't scold her and provoke her." In short, as long as she doesn't kill you, I don't want to provoke her, lest I end up hurting you. β
Fang Siqiao chuckled: "I'm measured, Nalan Tuba has an enmity with me, I'm afraid she expected that I would scold her, it's normal for me to scold her, since it's normal, then I might as well scold more." β
The empty phase lightly snorted and took over the words:
"Fang's female donor is sober and can dissect it. β
After sighing, he said to Xie Gongbao again: "I heard that the White Dragon Messenger generally only walks around inside the Banner Corpse Sect, and is specifically responsible for delivering the fatwa to Nalan Tuba, and his position is a little lower, but because he has the fatwa, he is like Nalan Tuba coming everywhere in person. Xie Zhangguan, since Nalan Tuba sent him over, it is indeed not good to refuse him, so please come in and talk. β
Xie Gongbao snorted, and shouted with a smile: "Since it is a good idea, then please invite the White Dragon Envoy into the city to speak." β
At that moment, he went down to the city with everyone, opened the city gate, and welcomed the white dragon envoy and his party in.
The two sides greeted each other, and they were quite kind, but the shopkeeper Mei didn't seem normal, she didn't smile, her face was rigorous and flashed with a trace of sorrow, where was there still the image of spreading out her corset to wipe her sweat that day. Xie Gongbao was secretly surprised, but he was not easy to ask, he was not restrained, and generously accepted the dowry, which was carried to the fairy hall.
......
......
The greetings were over, and Xie Gongbao planned to lead everyone to the Banxian Pavilion to drink tea and talk.
At this time, two people flew in the sky, and everyone raised their heads to look at it. The two broke through the clouds and landed outside the city, and it was Jiang Zaiqian and Wang Zhongshu. At the same time, a team of people appeared on the mountain road, led by Di Ji and Xiong Muyan, and the two of them led more than ten people, carrying twelve boxes, each of which also had a pair of big red happy words.
These two groups of people appeared at the same time, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be tense.
The situation is getting more and more complicated, and everyone's nerves are tense.
Chen Huanshan and the four of them were drumming in their hearts, they were soft-spoken, and they didn't want to get involved too deeply, so they quietly shrank aside.
The white dragon envoy glanced at Xie Gongbao with a smile, I don't know if it was schadenfreude, or if it had other meanings?
Fang Si is weak and witty, and in the face of such a situation, he is also frowning.
And Jiang Zaiqian's appearance aroused the hatred of Xie Gongbao and Nie Xiaoqiao. Seeing the clues, he stepped forward and persuaded Xie Gongbao and Nie Xiaoqiao softly: "Xie Zhangguan, Nie Patriarch, it's not time to confront each other, and bear with it first, Ruan Zhangguan was killed, he claimed to be an eyewitness, if he was killed at this time, it would be tantamount to killing people and killing people, it is the crime of Xie Zhangguan killing Ruan Zhangguan, and the two must not be fooled." β
Xie Gongbao snorted: "What the master said is right, my Uncle Ruan can't die in vain, I bear it." β
At this time, Jiang Zaiqian, Wang Zhongshu, Di Ji, and Xiong Muyan walked to the city gate.
Nie Xiaoqiao snorted and turned around, no one wanted to care.
Facing the Yan Yu clan, Xie Gongbao didn't want to completely make a stalemate, so Chao Di Ji and Xiong Muyan clasped hands: "My city is still in ruins, and I don't entertain guests yet, please Your Majesty and Pharaoh stay here, if you have something to say." After speaking, he straightened his face, glanced at Jiang Zaiqian and Wang Zhongshu coldly, and continued: "As for the other two, where to fight and where to go back and forth, I don't welcome the old thief of Xuan Xianliu here!"
When these words came out, the audience was shocked.
Chen Huanshan broke out in a cold sweat, and they all thought, are you going to fight?
The white dragon envoy was also stunned for a moment, his eyes were confused, and he couldn't figure it out.
Fang Si didn't need to say much, he stared at Jiang Wang and the others with straight eyebrows.
Even Di Ji and Xiong Muyan, who had just arrived, were shocked, it stands to reason that Xie Gong Baoshi came out of Bai Jiwen, and he once opened a sect in Xuanxian Liu, even if he broke with the master, he would not say such an insult, how arrogant is this.
Wang Zhongshu opened the wine bottle and poured wine violently, but did not make a sound.
Jiang Zaiqian reprimanded: "Bastard boy, what are you talking about!"
Without waiting for Xie Gongbao to answer, he hurriedly started the round: "Jiang Zhangguan don't be angry, lose your words, just lose your words." β
"Gaffes, I don't think so. Jiang Zaiqian swept the audience and pointed his finger at the White Dragon Envoy: "The Hao Xian clan regards the demon sect and demons as VIPs, what else can't be done, what can't be said! The Hao Xian clan colludes with the demon sect, the facts are all there, how can they deny it!"
When the white dragon envoy heard this, they all straightened their faces.
Nie Xiaoqiao frowned, and opened his mouth to refute, but let Xie Gongbao grab his hand. She turned her head to look at Xie Gongbao, and found that his face was not shocked, his expression was free and easy, and suddenly felt that Xie Gongbao at this moment was like a towering tree that helped her shelter from the wind and rain, Nie Xiaoqiao was relieved by this, and thought to herself, it seems that he has really grown up and learned to protect me everywhere.
Seeing Xie Gongbao laughed twice, he sneered at Jiang Zaiqian: "Which eye of yours saw me deny, that's right, I just colluded with the Banner Immortal Sect, who said that the Banner Immortal Sect is the Demon Sect, I would rather collude with them, and I would not be in the same stream as you'Xuan Corpse Stream, what can you do with me." β
Fang Siqiao also smiled: "No, our Banner Immortal Sect is not like the 'Xuan Corpse Flow', all of them are hypocrites!"
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Zaiqian was furious, aiming at Fang Si's weak probe and grabbing it.
Xie Gongbao smiled coldly, flashed in front of Fang Siqiao, and pushed the thumb of his right hand to Jiang Zaiqian's hand. - Jiang Zaiqian poked his thumb in the vein, and his whole arm suddenly went numb, he didn't dare to rush in again, and hurriedly jumped back. ββFang Siqiao probed out from behind Xie Gongbao, and smiled: "Usually under the banner of Demon Elimination and Guard, Ze is dressed as a good person, and when the trick is exposed, he is annoyed and angry, arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, what is not a hypocrite, don't forget, this is Crescent City, not your home."
"Dead girl, you ......!" Jiang Zaiqian said to her, but she was speechless.
Fang Si didn't dare to make any more moves, so he simply flashed out from behind Xie Gongbao.
She held her hands behind her back, while dancing the jade flute behind her back, while confidently walking back and forth, and at the same time talking nonsense: "What am I, what crime do you want to add to me? I don't care, anyway, it's not the first time, I met you in Qinjiazhuang last time, you want to kill me, but Mrs. Qin just said that you bully the small with the big and disrespect the old, so you killed all the people in the Zhuangzi of the family, and finally pushed the charge to me; Oh, I understand, this time you are going to slaughter the city again, and you want to blame me again, don't you?"
