Xiao He sat on the tree like this all night until the sun rose in the east. Dong Ge and Sang Yan led everyone to wait for Xiao He's next arrangement. Seeing everyone coming, Xiao He brought his sad thoughts back to reality.
"Chief Director, all the officers and men have arrived and are waiting for your next instructions!" Dong Ge stood under the tree and shouted loudly.
Xiao He jumped down from the tree, stood directly in front of Dong Ge, and said, "Your father is building an alchemy furnace for the tribe. There should be some insights today. Let's go and take a look!"
Dong Ge also smiled and said, "I haven't seen my father for a long time."
So, Xiao He led everyone through the forest and came to the mining area. In the distance, Mr. Dong’s thatched cottage can already be seen. The atmosphere was very relaxed at the moment, and everyone was chatting and laughing, when suddenly there was a loud noise.
The thatched house burst into flames after a burst of explosions.
Everyone's expression changed when they heard the sound, and they all ran towards the thatched house. Beside the thatched hut, two miners also ran towards Xiao He and others, shouting as they ran, "Mr. Dong sacrificed himself to the furnace!"
"What!" Xiao He exclaimed. He didn't expect that his alchemy furnace plan would kill the old man.
"Father!" Dong Ge shouted and ran towards the thatched house. Fortunately, the two brothers from the Kong family were beside him and held him tightly. However, Dong Ge no longer cared about it and wanted to pull his father out of the fire. Xiao He took a step forward and hugged Dong Ge tightly.
After Dong Ge struggled for a few times, he finally calmed down in Xiao He's hug. He looked in the direction of his father's thatched cottage and cried silently. After a long time, Dong Ge calmed down. Xiao He looked at a miner next to him and asked, "What's going on?"
The miner then said that when Mr. Dong was forging the alchemy furnace, at a critical moment, the essence of the Tianxuan Iron was not melting. Mr. Dong was rich in experience, and when he saw this, he knew clearly that someone must die at this moment. The alchemy furnace can finally be completed. Therefore, Mr. Dong did not hesitate and threw himself into the alchemy furnace.
While everyone was talking, several miners put out the fire, and a thatched house was almost burned, leaving only an alchemy furnace, which had just been completed. The whole body was brilliant and beautiful, and the surrounding temperature was also very warm. However, everyone was in a low mood and stood silently looking at the alchemy furnace, remembering Mr. Dong in their hearts.
A long time later, Dong Ge remained silent and buried his only remaining piece of his father's clothes in a place surrounded by trees on three sides in the mining area. Xiao He used the Nixian Sword to cut down a tree and set up a monument for Mr. Dong. Dong Ge personally carved on it: The tomb of his late father, Jun Pengzi of the Dong Mansion, is the grave of his unworthy son, Dong Ge.
Everyone was quite sentimental and worshiped Mr. Dong. After everything was over, Xiao He looked at everyone and then said: "Let's take a rest today. After I refine the elixir and distribute it to each of you, wait for my next instructions." After Xiao He finished speaking, he looked at Dong Ge again, feeling quite worried. Somewhat self-blaming, he asked: "You can stay here to keep filial piety for Mr. Dong, and wait here for our triumphant return."
Dong Ge's eyes were firm and he said, "Don't worry, Chief. The Dragon Shadow Army still lacks experience. I can't be afraid of fighting at this time. What's more, my father died in order to ensure the inheritance of the tribe. I should inherit my father's legacy." , if he becomes depressed because of his old man’s death and becomes afraid of fighting from now on, his spirit in heaven will be disappointed.”
Xiao He patted Dong Ge on the shoulder and said, "Then everything depends on you!"
It was night, everyone took a rest, but Qingtang followed Xiao He to make alchemy together. The reason was that Xiao He had originally intended to choose someone in the tribe to inherit the art of alchemy, so that when he left the tribe, he could still ensure that all the work he had arranged ran smoothly. As for alchemy, Qingtang, as the best doctor in the tribe, is naturally the best candidate.
The night in the mining area was extremely quiet, the moon was bright and everything was silent, except for unknown insects chirping happily in the woods. Qingtang stood quietly aside, watching Xiao He refining the elixir and explaining it to him carefully. The moonlight illuminated Xiao He's side face, making the outline clearer, especially Xiao He's serious expression and eyes when he was refining alchemy, which added a bit of charm.
Qingtang looked at the man in front of him, fascinated, and all he thought about was that she couldn't keep him.
At this moment, Xiao He didn't notice Qingtang's rather sentimental look. He hadn't been refining elixirs so seriously for a long time, so he was naturally attentive. Especially when he was explaining to Qingtang, he even remembered that his mentor Tianyanzi first taught him how to make alchemy.
The scenes of elixir include purification, furnace opening, medicine introduction, and fire refining. Thinking about it step by step, many pictures came to mind at once, thinking of his missing senior brother Xingyu, thinking of Alchemy Peak, thinking of the chief disciple's match, thinking of Sisters Yukui Yuqing, thinking of running away all the way...
Memories come in like a flood, and I can't hold them back.
Qingtang saw the strange look on Xiao He's expression. He seemed to be even sadder than himself for some reason.
"Xiao He..." Qingtang called softly, not knowing what to ask.
Xiao He was separated from his memories by this call. He just smiled and did not explain anything to Qingtang. He took Qingtang with him and kept refining the elixir until dawn, which cost him a lot of energy.
When daylight dawned, Xiao He handed his handwritten copy of the Inner Alchemy Sutra to Qingtang, and asked Qingtang to arrange for the doctors in the tribe to distribute the elixirs according to the previous design, and still let everyone adjust their breath and prepare. He meditated on the spot in the mining area to recover his essence. His loss this time was really too great. He relied on his cultivation at the Nineteenth Level to be able to refine so many elixirs at once.
Qingtang didn't say much. He carefully put away the "Inner Alchemy Sutra", took the elixir with him, and led the doctor to act according to Xiao He's arrangements.
Ten Qinglong troops protected Xiao He, and no one bothered him anymore.
Xiao He woke up from trance again, seven days later...
At this time, everyone had roughly absorbed the elixir given by Xiao He, and everyone was amazed by its wonderful effects, and they admired Xiao He even more.
After Xiao He woke up, he saw everyone getting ready and ready to go, which made his character become much more restrained. The people standing at the head of the team were ten Long Shadow Army members. These people were personally selected and trained by Dong Ge according to Xiao He's instructions. The purpose is to establish a special intelligence agency for the tribe. At this point, it's time to come in handy.
Seeing the ten Long Shadow Army looking at him with concentrated eyes, Xiao He was moved again. According to his arrangement, these ten people will set off before the main force to collect intelligence about Wuyang City. Everyone knew the danger of this trip, and Xiao He chose them with his own hands. This was the first time he had decided the life and death of others in this way, and he felt indescribably sad.
Sang Yan looked at Xiao He, his tone seemed to be very sentimental, he whispered to Xiao He: "Brothers are waiting for your pre-war arrangements."
Xiao He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said: "Brothers, the seven major cities have bullied me for many years, killed my people, and invaded my territory. Now, when it is time for us to truly stand up, I will take you to fight with these bandits. Are you afraid of a life-or-death battle?"
"Don't be afraid!" all the soldiers replied in unison.
"Brothers of the Dragon Shadow Army, this time you will set off as a death squad before everyone else. We are here waiting for your information. The more accurate your information is, the safer the lives of our brothers will be. Do you have confidence?" Xiao He said again asked loudly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The ten Dragon Shadow Army shouted back.
"Dong Ge has led several brothers to find the territory of Wuyang City. During this trip, you must understand the opponent's personnel configuration, realm cultivation, whether there are allies, and the situation of the defensive formation. I am here waiting for news of your victory. !Set off!"
After Xiao He finished speaking, Dong Ge personally led the ten Long Shadow Army to set off. Their figures rose and fell before disappearing from everyone's sight. Xiao He, on the other hand, climbed onto the Zhuyin Beast and led his troops out according to the established route.
Almost everyone in the tribe, including Old Man Tingshan, was seeing the army off. They looked at the backs of everyone fading away, as if looking at the hope of the future of the tribe.
Xiao He rode the Zhuyin Beast and walked side by side with Qingtang. He deliberately took Qingtang with him, for fear that something would go wrong and he would not be able to explain to the clan leader when he returned. On both sides of the two men was a team of casual cultivators selected by Sang Yan himself. Behind the casual cultivators were the tribal soldiers led by the Qinglong Army. After Xiao He divided them into different types of troops and retrained them, the troops had a completely new look. Hundreds of soldiers in animal clothing and armor, holding various weapons in their hands, uniformly marched with the army on the plains. ..
Everyone in the mighty team looked cold, as if they had already won the war.
Sang Yan rode on Xiao He's left side. Feeling the high morale of the troops, he said to Xiao He: "The tribe soldiers are different today. You are leading the troops in person."
, everyone firmly believes that this trip will be successful. "
Xiao He said: "As soon as the war started, you told everyone that we don't want any prisoners. No one will be left alive during this trip. Remember this!"
Sang Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand this. Even if one person escapes back to God's Domain, Wuyang City will fight back with all its strength."
Xiao He said again: "That's right, this is also the key to this trip!"
Seeing Xiao He and Sang Yan whispering, a doctor next to Qingtang said, "Sister Qingtang, look, the Chief Secretary has arranged a battle plan."
"Yes, men who are serious are really attractive." Another doctor also said.
"You said, it's really unexpected that such a white-faced scholar has become the patron saint of the survival of the tribe." Someone else interrupted.
Qingtang looked at Xiao He's side face and listened to the chatter of several girls around him without interrupting.
Another girl asked: "Sister Qingtang, the chief is usually gentle and polite, but the people in the main city are so much higher than us in cultivation, so he rashly attacks them, how can he lead us to win this battle?" Will it win? Will it bring disaster to us?"
Qingtang's eyes still did not leave Xiao He, and said: "In your eyes, Xiao He is either a gentle Confucian scholar, or a general with a sword and a horse, but in my eyes, he is a ferocious beast, and there is light in his eyes."
