"Sure enough, I will find you..."
Qiong also looked back, looking at the figure coming from behind, and said calmly.
The leader of the army held a long knife and roared at her: "It's really you!"
Qiong Yi didn't reply. He released his true energy with one hand to support the Sky Fire Formation, and used the sword as a secret weapon with the other hand. The string song came out of its sheath, the light was brighter than the bright moon in the night sky, and it stabbed straight at the incoming person.
*
In the city of fire, Su Ye, who was coming, happened to meet the little priest who was running for his life, and raised his sword to kill him. At this time, Sheng Xuanyuan and the others had almost wiped out all the living creatures in the city, and all the poisonous snakes, scorpions and rats that were escaping in the fire were also cleared away.
The fire engulfed the entire stone city. When the seven people met outside the city, they looked at the burned place and remained silent. Carrying the heads of the two priests, they went to the wind-eroded rock to find Qiong Yi.
Qiong Yi stood on the high rock. When he saw them coming back covered in blood, he took back the formation: "Have you finished dealing with it?"
Sheng Xuanyuan saw several human corpses on the ground at a glance. When they went to make a sneak attack, Qiong Yi was probably assassinated. Fortunately, those people combined were not stronger than her.
She didn't seem to be injured, but her face looked strange and her breath was weak.
Qiong Yi jumped down from the rock, and Cao Hongliang raised the two heads in front of her for her to identify, and said: "A small number of Gu masters escaped, but the priests and priests did kill them. Look, are they them? ?”
Glancing at the two heads, it turned out that they were indeed two priests in the city. Qiong Yi took the head and threw it under the rock, saying: "Now that it's done, we must leave quickly. Even if we are injured, we must hide in a safe place." We'll deal with it later. If there's such a big fight here, we will definitely be hunted down and intercepted at the pass. I'm afraid it won't be as easy to go back as it was when we came here."
"become."
"move!"
Everyone turned around and walked quickly towards the edge of the wind-eroded land. Sheng Xuanyuan helped her and asked: "Is it okay? Don't hold on."
To maintain such a large formation by one person, I don't know how much energy it takes. In fact, Qiong Yi no longer had the strength to walk. She shook her head, meaning no, and he understood. He directly carried her on his back and followed behind his teammates. It seemed that he was exhausted, and Qiong Yi quickly fell asleep.
After crossing the rocky ground and reaching the Gobi Desert, everyone took medicinal pills to heal their injuries and continued on their way with their swords.
Along the way, it was Qiong Yi who took Xie Yan with her sword. Now that she was half asleep and exhausted, Xie Yan took the initiative and said, "Miss Lu, it's really hard. Just let my fellow disciple take me when I go back. Brother Cao, Xiao Xu." , you two take it on your own."
"..."
*
Flying quickly with his sword over the desert, Xie Yan saw Sheng Xuanyuan holding Qiong Yi in his arms, and whispered: "It is rumored that Mr. Sheng is cold and ruthless, but now he has refuted the rumors with his own eyes. How considerate..."
Cao Hongliang was puzzled: "Why do they have such a good relationship and don't avoid the suspicion of men and women?"
Su Ye laughed "poof".
Even Xie Yushan had heard about the much-discussed marriage between the two. He suppressed his lips and said, "Brother Cao, you were once a Jianghu person. It's normal not to know. The two of them got married as a Taoist couple."
"Taoist companion?"
Su Ye explained: "It is a couple or a couple in the folk sense."
Yan Ting laughed deeply: "Yes. So..." He looked around. Except for Sheng Xuanyuan and Qiong Yi, everyone seemed to be alone. Xu Yichen understood his eyes and asked in surprise: "Could it be that you all have no idea?" A couple, right? No way? There are many people of this age who don’t have a Taoist partner? Unlike me, I have a smooth career and a happy love at a young age..."
Cao Hongliang was speechless.
Xie Yushan, who was already thirty years old, his forehead beating wildly, said silently: "Who blocked his mouth for me?"
Xie Yan stabbed in a low voice and said: "Senior brother Yushan has an unrequited love for our sect master. He has been asking for it for many years and has not been able to get it. It is quite miserable. Please don't use your emotions to stimulate him..."
Everyone laughed.
Qiong Yi had a silencing spell cast on her ear by Sheng Xuanyuan, so she didn't feel the commotion and fell into a deep sleep.
*
Qiong also rested for a whole day before recovering from the debilitating state. The closer she got to the pass, the more camps there were in Xirong. She pointed the way and continued her journey back, successfully returning to the front line of the five tribes a few days later.
What greeted the eight people was the new battalion that had been deployed in front of the barrier and had won a great victory.
Xie Cong, his son and the monks in the camp came forward to greet him and congratulate him on his victory: "You have worked hard on this trip."
Qiong also chuckled: "Thank you for your hard work, how is the battle going?"
"Unexpectedly good." Xie Cong smiled back and said.
Yue Changle came from behind, full of energy: "Under the command of Sect Leader Xie, we deliberately exposed our flaws, pretended to be defeated, and defeated the army in the violent mountains! Sister Xiyan, your formation is really useful. Ordinary sword cultivators who have not learned formation skills can also join the formation, even the wounded, and now that I heard that you have destroyed the Gu nest, this is simply the best time to completely kill them!"
Hearing what she said, Xie Yangyu also nodded: "My father has given orders to kill them back to the desert in these battles."
Yan Tingshen seemed to be about to speak, but stopped.
Qiong also shook his head: "There's no rush."
Xie Cong's eyebrows sank: "Why?"
Sheng Xuanyuan said calmly: "The surrounding troops must be guarded, but the poor aggressors must not be pressed."
"Well, that's the truth." Qiong Yi explained along with Sheng Xuanyuan's words: "Xie Zongzhu, Xirong was hooded and beaten with a stick. The next thing he received was the news that their internal military resources were destroyed. They were strong in Western Xinjiang. After nearly two years of fighting, how can we easily retreat? If we press too close now, they will definitely counterattack and fight to the death."
Su Ye seemed to understand: "So we still need to extend the front?"
Qiong Yi smiled and replied: "Yes." She looked at Xie Cong, "Please sect master, please spread the news of Xirong's defeat with more details, especially inform the ten sects that someone will surrender."
Yan Tingshen understood instantly.
Yue Changle was very puzzled: "Isn't that just recruiting some losers? What's the use?"
"It's useful." Qiong Yi curled her lips: "Thank you, Sect Leader, right?"
Xie Cong laughed, looked at Qiong Yi's eyes full of meaning, and clapped his hands: "Come on, please go back to the camp to rest."
*
"Sheng Kyung, it's a bit hot."
In the small tent, Qiong Yi tiptoed at the water in the wooden basin and watched helplessly as Sheng Xuanyuan added some cold water to the basin before soaking his feet in the hot water: "After traveling for so long, I can finally rest. Rest, relax."
Sheng Xuanyuan sat next to her and chuckled: "Qiong Yi, you are quite suitable to be a counselor."
"Brother Yan is obviously more suitable, right? Look at what he didn't understand when I said it?" Qiong Yi's feet swayed restlessly in the basin, and Sheng Xuan said resentfully: "The style is different, you are good at it To protect the chess, he is good at responding to the situation.”
"how about you?"
Sheng Xuanyuan tilted his head: "I will follow your orders."
Qiong Yi burst out laughing: "Sheng Jing, you are good at dismantling. If I say anything, you can decipher it in one go."
"Qiong Yi, you are taking too long a view."
Qiong Yi spread his hands: "There is no way. We definitely need help from some sects. The training period for foundation-building monks is too long. It may not be ten or twenty years, but how long does it take to refine the Gu pill? As for those who surrender, I I don’t expect them to be useful now, but when they become useful in the future, they won’t be able to refuse.”
She understands that the balance maintained by the five races is too easy to break. Why is there only one sect leader in charge of the critical border, and the rest are young monks like them? Why did the Yue family send Yue Changle instead of their eldest son Yue Huan? She understands all this.
The Demon Sect is in power in the north, there is a Shuangsha stronghold in Luoyao, and Lu Lanshan, who is out of the Lu family, is not running for the rogue bandits that are rising everywhere.
"Sheng Jing, the ten sects claim to be righteous, and what they say is better than what they do. How many of the things under the sect are upright? They stay out of the matter just because Kun Zhai has not stepped on their heads. By then, they will get a share It's too late to fight the enemy together. They can neither get the support of the people nor the worship of believers. It is better to take advantage of the good situation and join the trend. But once they express their stance and join the team, Kun Zhai will cause trouble again in the future. When war breaks out, the world will use their eyes to force them to take action.”
Sheng Xuanyuan nodded clearly.
*
Xie Cong meditated for a long time in the main camp. He wrote a letter to several passes to the east to spread the news, saying: "Yu'er, this time Lu Xiyan led them to destroy the dangerous road in Gu City, and sent some monks to set up camp to take precautions. , it’s up to you to arrange this.”
"Yes. Father." Xie Yangyu cupped his hands and said, "Why not let the people from the Sheng family go to that dangerous road?"
"What does this mean?" Xie Cong was puzzled: "The Sheng family is in charge of the stage. Sheng Xuanyuan is in charge of it. They have made great achievements, how can I mobilize them? Furthermore, the cultivation of this boy from the Sheng family has already been praised by the elders of my sect. If he is out of reach, sending him to a lonely and dangerous place will not destroy our arrogance?"
Seeing his son's expression gloomy and uncertain, Xie Cong seemed to realize something: "Yu'er, are you interested in other people's things?"
"I don't."
He spoke decisively, but he could not hide it from Xie Cong. He laughed and said: "Lu Xiyan, this female cultivator is indeed of good character. Otherwise, why would Lu Bin take her so seriously? Sheng's willingness to accept her proves that she is one of the best in this generation." Although he is not as good as the Qin man named Fu Gu, among our generation, he is still comparable to powerful people like Mu Xian and Shen Wei."
After saying that, Xie Cong sighed: "What a pity."
Xie Yangyu frowned: "What's the pity?"
Xie Cong shook his head and laughed: "It's a pity that Sheng's boy is not lucky. Luo Yao's evil spirits have been accumulated for hundreds of years and are not easy to clean up. I'm afraid she will be a widow for the rest of her life."
Then he said: "My son, if you don't despise other people's wives, until then, I will say some good words for you as your father and ask to marry her."
Xie Yangyu was stunned for a long time, then he nodded and exited the tent.
*
The next day.
Qiong Yi originally thought that he could stay in this pass, but unexpectedly, a disciple of the Xie family came to report early in the morning and ordered him to take his fellow disciples to a new camp far away.
If she hadn't known that she had returned with meritorious service, Qiong Yi would have thought that she had committed some serious crime and was sent to such a remote place.
Angry at both ends, Qiong did not question the disciple who reported the news as to why Xie Cong arranged such an arrangement. Instead, she grabbed the collar of the junior disciple in front of her and cursed: "I'll ask again, where is the Lu Li person?!"
The outer junior brother was finally moved by the scolding, covered his face and cried: "Senior sister, little senior brother, he has long... gone to the imperial palace forty or fifty kilometers away to find junior sister Xiaosi!"
"When did this happen!"
"It seems like it's been almost half a month..."
Qiong Yi's eyes darkened: What a good Lu Li! Good on you, Lu Li! ! !
I calculated Rong Jun clearly, but I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking!
After getting the news, Su Ye rushed into the camp: "Qiong Yi! Why were you sent to a place like that?!"
"How do I know? I'm upset." Qiong Yi saw that it was him who came and asked, "Where is Sheng Jing? Isn't he going to find Xie Cong to reason with?"
Su Ye nodded.
She gritted her teeth: "Sure enough! It's useless. If Xie Cong is not against me because I am more powerful than his son, or he is targeting me, it's useless for him to argue for me. This guy named Xie is unreasonable!"
"Then do you really want to go to Xinying?"
After a while of silence, Qiong Yi sighed: "There will be no disturbance in the rest of the battle. Just drag on and fight. You can't do anything if you go..."
But before leaving, she really wanted to catch Lu Li and give him a good beating.
Su Ye rolled his sleeves angrily: "What kind of calculation does this old guy have? Sheng Xuan complains that he is stupid and can't scold people. I'll go find him!"
Qiong Yi did not stop Su Ye. While he was pacing in the tent, there were rapid footsteps outside. The Lu family disciple outside the door seemed to want to ask the visitor what was going on, but was coldly told to leave him alone.
Qiong also recognized Sheng Xuanyuan's voice and was walking towards the tent door when a figure who opened the curtain and strode in picked her up, put her on his shoulders and took her away.
"Hey! Sheng Jing!" How could Qiong Yi think that he would carry someone directly, and struggled: "What are you doing?"
"Take you away, go to my Sheng family!" Sheng Xuanyuan was full of anger: "His Yuansha lineage originally asked for our support! When did he make a meritorious deed and still slap his face like this?! It's simply unreasonable!"
"Then let me down first!" Qiong Yi said, feeling Sheng Xuanyuan lose his strength, holding her waist and half lowering his arms, holding her in his arms, and kissed her, Qiong Yi's body trembled and she shrank. Being kissed tighter and tighter by him, her breath was taken away, and she couldn't help but gasp: "No..."
In his arms, Qiong Yi had nowhere to hide. Facing his inky eyes, she saw the anger and injustice for herself. She couldn't help but say, "Qiong Yi, come with me." .”
Qiong Yi hugged his shoulders and closed her eyes: "...Okay, let's go."
"The author has something to say: I hope there will be no review qaq issues today."
