The desert is vast, overcast with clouds, gusting cold winds, mixed with the roaring sounds of ghosts and ghosts.
Ying Gou opened his big hand, and the invisible power condensed into bloody handprints, and he grabbed Ye Ling and Qin Qing. Yinggou is now at least at the peak of the Immortal Realm, but this momentum makes it impossible for the two of them to move and find it difficult to escape.
Qin Qing turned around and thrust out his spear. Unexpectedly, the spear hit the Taoist force and cracked every inch, causing Qin Qing to spit out a mouthful of blood and be injured.
Ye Ling stepped in front of Qin Qing and said: "This is my cause and effect, but I got you involved."
Qin Qing shook his head and said: "On the battlefield, there is no difference between you and me. We only have to die. I think it's worth it to die with you!"
Ye Ling smiled slightly but made no move. It seemed that any struggle at this moment was in vain. Unfortunately, facing death, he could not be calm now.
At this moment, a yellow hair floated out from Ye Ling's lapel and floated in front of Ye Ling.
Ye Ling couldn't help but was stunned, and suddenly remembered that this hair was given to him by Sun Hou'er from the Holy Spirit Cult before he left. He didn't see the purpose of the hair, so he just put it in his clothes.
At this moment, the monkey hair floated in front of Ye Ling, and suddenly a golden light emitted. A monkey demon jumped out of the golden light, majestic and murderous: "Wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on its head, a pair of golden eyes and fiery eyes; Golden armor with chains, covered with copper body and iron shoulders. Five treasures and jade belt across the waist, tied up with a red-dyed cloak. Footsteps on lotus root silk, walking on clouds, one somersault a hundred and eighty thousand. In hand is a golden cudgel, full of vigor, The rays of light are gorgeous. As expected, he is known as the Great Sage among the Ten Thousand Monster Clan, and he dares to cause trouble with his abilities."
When he saw Sun Dasheng transformed into monkey hair, Ye Ling was overjoyed and said: "He's saved, he's saved!"
The great sage knocked down the stick and broke the winning handprint. In the cold wind, Ying's figure appeared with a strange expression: "How could it be you?"
The Great Sage chuckled and said: "Old friend, this is an incarnation of my old grandson. If you want to kill this kid, you must first let me fight with you!"
"You monkey, you deserve to be caught by the thief, but you gave away your own incarnation at will." Ying Gou looked ugly, suddenly moved his brows slightly, looked in the direction behind Ye Ling, and said: "Forget about you. Your fate is great, but next time we meet, I will definitely take your life!"
After saying this, Ying Gou's figure melted into the clouds and disappeared.
The great sage didn't say much. He only glanced at Ye Ling, then turned into a monkey hair and flew back to Ye Ling's clothes.
Ye Ling never thought that Sun Hou'er would give him such a great gift. Thanks to this monkey hair, he finally escaped from danger.
However, before the wave was over, Ye Ling frowned again, turned to look at Qin Qing and said, "There's someone here again, are you still running?"
Qin Qing was wearing a mask and could not see her expression. He could only see her raised head and lay back on the yellow sand again, and said slowly: "If I don't run away, I can't run away."
Ye Ling also sat down and saw behind the sand dune, a group of demon monsters rushed over. The demon commander roared in mid-air, which actually knocked Ye Ling and Qin Qing unconscious.
…………
When he opened his eyes again, Ye Ling found himself lying in a large tent. The night outside the tent was dim and the stars were twinkling.
When he turned over, he saw Qin Qing lying next to him, still awake.
Ye Ling slowly straightened up and saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting behind the desk not far away.
The old man was working hard at his desk, frowning slightly.
Ye Ling was shocked and blurted out: "Prime Minister Zhuge?"
Zhuge Ce raised his head slightly, glanced at Ye Ling, turned back to look at military affairs, and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
Ye Ling almost said Zhuge Liang's name, but after thinking about it, he realized that this person was Zhuge Ce who was confronting his eldest brother Xu Zheng and his army.
Therefore, Ye Ling said: "The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is well-known in the five regions. Although I am not a member of the dynasty, I naturally know the name of the Prime Minister."
Zhuge Ce smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity that your sworn brother Xu Zheng won't compliment me like this."
When Ye Ling heard the name of his eldest brother Xu Zheng, he was shocked again and asked, "How does the Prime Minister know about this junior?"
Zhuge Ce slowly closed the document, put down the pen, picked up the feather fan and walked out of the desk. He said to Ye Ling: "How dare you not know yourself and the enemy when setting up a march? Although Taiyue City is surrounded by many passes and is tightly blocked by wind and shadow, the truth is still clear. News. Ye Ling, Xu Zheng's adopted brother, only practiced for several years and actually reached the Lingxu realm. Later, he suddenly appeared in Taiyue City, and he was at the center and joined the cabinet to participate in politics. But soon, you caused trouble in the city again. , wanted by Daqian. Are these things true?"
Ye Ling nodded noncommittally, but then asked: "Young man, who is an outsider and of a lowly status, is the prime minister in charge of the military and administration of a country. How do you know so much about my affairs?"
Zhuge Ce looked at Ye Ling for a long time, then smiled and said: "Although you are not knowledgeable about political affairs, you are also straightforward and have the same temper as Xu Zheng."
Ye Ling was speechless. He couldn't see through Zhuge Ce's cultivation, and Geng couldn't guess what the old prime minister was thinking. The more this happened, the more uneasy he felt.
"Do you think that with your knowledge and strength, you can enter the dynasty's cabinet?" Zhuge Ce asked with a smile: "With your background and reputation, you can be wanted by the imperial court?"
Ye Ling raised his head, with negation in his eyes and even more confusion, he only bowed respectfully and said: "Please teach me, Prime Minister!"
Zhuge Ce waved his feather fan lightly, then turned around and sighed: "The affairs of the government are frightening, and Liang is exhausted both mentally and physically. Baili Longteng won the hearts of hundreds of millions of people with the heart of one man, and the prince of Daqian court won the rightful son, and the party fought endlessly. You are just a pawn in their fight.”
"It's a chess piece again." Ye Ling smiled bitterly in his heart and looked at the wooden sword behind him. Ever since he received the inheritance from the man in white and heard the words "Between the latitude and longitude, one wrong step will lead to an abyss. Are you willing to be this chess piece?" Ye Ling could no longer escape the fate of becoming a chess piece.
It's just that this chess piece seems to have been arranged randomly by too many people, and even he can't tell which chess game he is in.
"You and the girl are both seriously injured," Zhuge Ce said, "I have ordered people to prepare potions for you. I will use the potion to nourish you tonight, and then help you heal your injuries tomorrow."
"Prime Minister!" Just as Zhuge Ce was about to leave, Ye Ling suddenly asked: "We are all considered Daqian people and are enemies of the Prime Minister. Why does the Prime Minister want to save us?"
Zhuge Ce did not hesitate and sighed: "Ce was not an enemy of Daqian, let alone the people of Daqian. Ce was just to fulfill the late emperor's mission, to revive the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital. In this way, Ce also I can rest in peace."
Looking at Zhuge Ce's leaving figure, Ye Ling's admiration arose spontaneously, and he couldn't help but give a long salute before paying homage to the prime minister.
After some time, I saw someone bringing in wooden buckets of hot water and a lot of medicinal herbs. I saw the medicinal herbs being put into the buckets, and said to Ye Ling: "The prime minister ordered the young master to take a bath and use the medicinal power to recover from his injuries."
Ye Ling looked to the other side. Qin Qing was carried away by several maids and went to take a bath in a nearby tent.
So, Ye Ling took off his torn clothes, revealing his dusty but strong body, and stepped into the medicine barrel.
After the whole body was immersed in the potion, the rolling potion penetrated into the body along Ye Ling's pores like a countercurrent. The power of these medicines seemed to activate the human body's recovery ability. Ye Ling could clearly feel that his recovery from injuries was accelerating, and several broken ribs were as healthy as ever.
Ye Ling let out a long breath and slowly fell asleep leaning on the medicine bucket. He had never felt such a comfortable feeling in a long time. He relaxed physically and mentally and gradually fell into dreamland...
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Ling was awakened by the sunlight outside the tent. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhuge Ce already sitting behind the desk, reviewing documents.
Sensing that Ye Ling had woken up, Zhuge Ce said, "How do you feel?"
Ye Ling looked inside and was pleasantly surprised to find that except for his meridians, all the injuries on his body had been recovered. Even the damaged Dantian was mostly healed.
He quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Prime Minister."
At this moment, a figure fell in from outside the tent. Qin Qing, who had not woken up until this morning, hurried over because he was worried about Ye Ling's safety, and happened to see this scene.
Their eyes met, and there was silence. Qin Qing's eyes hidden behind the mask moved up and down, taking a clear look.
Ye Ling hurriedly leaned down and said: "Qin Qing - you, you, you - are you healed?"
Qin Qing finally came back to his senses, glanced slightly to the side, and said: "Everything is fine, thank you so much, sir!"
Zhuge Ce laughed loudly when he saw the scene just now, and then coughed.
Ye Ling frowned. Although he could not see through Zhuge Ce's cultivation level, he knew that the Prime Minister was at least in the Celestial Realm or even higher, and could not have any illness.
From this point of view, this prime minister was just like another prime minister he knew. He worked hard and almost ran out of oil.
After the cough subsided, Zhuge Ce said to Qin Qing: "General Qin can go for a walk in the camp first and let Ye Ling put on clothes. We will help him heal his injuries later."
Qin Qing knew that this was the Han army's camp, but did not know Zhuge Ce's identity. Seeing that they had no ill intentions, he no longer worried. He responded and left, reminiscing about the happiness he had just experienced.
Seeing Qin Qing leave, Ye Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuge Ce smiled and said, "That girl is devoted to you, do you know?"
Ye Ling was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "I have never even seen her appearance."
Zhuge Ce lowered his head and continued to review the documents: "The clothes are on the case, you can pick them up yourself."
But just as Ye Ling stood up to get it, a soldier ran in panting from outside: "Prime Minister! General Zhang is reporting urgently!"
When their eyes met, Ye Ling felt extremely embarrassed and hid in the barrel again.
The soldier did not dare to read more, so he hurriedly submitted the report to Zhuge Ce. After reading it, Zhuge Ce wrote an order and gave it to him, saying: "Give this book to General Zhang quickly and let him act according to the plan."
"Follow the order!"
The soldier left the tent, but secretly looked back twice and muttered to himself: "Why is there a little brother without clothes in the Prime Minister's tent? He looks quite fair. Could it be... No wonder the Prime Minister's wife passed away. After so many years, I still haven’t renewed my string, so that’s what happened!”
The soldier muttered, but how could he escape Zhuge Ce's ears.
When Zhuge Ce heard this in the tent, he couldn't help but pause his pen and glanced up at Ye Ling who stood up again, making Ye Ling hide back in the barrel again with an embarrassed look on his face.
Zhuge Ce smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that Ce would be cautious and self-restraint all his life, but in the end it would be you who left an ink spot for me!"
Ye Ling looked innocent and aggrieved. His place was almost like an exhibition. He didn't know who he would show it to again when he got up again...
