laughing soul

"Why did you come back so..."

Xu Sheng'an, who was persuaded by Xu Liushan's nonsense to come back, hadn't stayed in Kunlun Mountain for a few days, he brought Xia Shu and others to welcome Chu He from the mountain road. Now, it is really abnormal to go up the mountain and return home without any delay, and his complexion is so rare that even Lu Ziqi, who is extremely careless, has noticed something is wrong: "Pavilion Master?"

Chu Yu waved his hand, and glanced around the welcoming group: "Where's Yun Yuan?"

Xia Shu replied: "According to your previous instructions, Brother Chu, none of us dared to reveal to her the matter of the Skylark Mountain God. But after all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Not long ago, she got the news from nowhere. Even we have to hide away for a few days, probably because we dare not come to see you."

Sensitively aware that Chu Yu's eyes darkened, Lu Ziqi hurriedly answered, "A Yuan has been more or less a child in these years, and what she overheard must have been very limited. With her understanding of this matter, she can even It's the limit to get five or six points out of Meng Dai's guessing, so it's not a problem if you think about it."

The more he talked, the more he felt that Xia Shu's nagging made Chu Yu's mood unstable, but he wanted to be taken advantage of by himself to wipe the idiot's ass, so he couldn't help stretching out his claws, and licked Xia Shu's fleshy side face Twist it.

"what!"

Xia Shu yelled, he didn't even need to lift his eyelids to know who did it, and immediately drew the saber hanging from his waist and chased after him: "Lu Ziqi, you bastard!"

Seeing these two darlings chasing after each other in long jumps, Xu Sheng'an and Zhou Yong were used to it and didn't bother to talk to each other and let them mess around.

"It's a good thing that A Yuan is not here. Her mother and even the faults of many gods and immortals have nothing to do with her." Chu Yu said, "I didn't come here at this time to settle this old score with Senior Yunque. The war in the south of the Yangtze River is about to start, and Chu Quan somehow borrowed some physical body to serve as a dog-headed army adviser to the Western soldiers, and he will get enough of the sulfur charcoal wood and soap medicine water chestnuts that are still available on the southern slope, and it will not be too late."

What he said was fast and urgent, Zhou Yong was able to calm down and ponder slowly, but Xu Shengan became anxious the moment he finished listening: "Wait, what did you mean just now? Jiangnan is at war? My side The news from the capital is fairly well-informed, so why didn’t the slightest word leak out? And that Chu Quan has found another body, so will he come back to bother you again?”

Chu Yu laughed when he heard it: "How can Xiaotian find out all the news that has reached the capital by himself? This kid just stares at me poorly and has some talent for tipping you off. You really think he is an undercover agent like Dayue Jinyiwei." material?"

This was all crossed by Chu Yu, and Xu Shengan coughed twice in embarrassment: "Let's not mention this for now, it's just such an earth-shattering event as the start of war..."

"Although the Westerners have not taken any extra actions right now, there is no harm for the time being except that General Han guards the border and is caught on fire, but it will be a matter of time before the invasion is over. Getting ready is just a rainy day. Don't be nervous, you won't die." He said. This calm and light outfit was flawless, and Zhou Yong, who was always good at observing words and expressions, couldn't see anything wrong, so he only asked: "Is there any disadvantage to you?"

Hearing this, Xu Shengan, who was drooping his brows in thought, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes locked on the calm and composed Chu Yu.

It would be inconvenient to use the body of a puppet, not to mention that Chu Quan's ultimate goal is not to simply cross the coastline, and then step by step to carry out his series of revenge plans one by one. How can a heavy and cumbersome puppet body Satisfied him?

Presumably, after suffering from the suffering of the wooden body these days, the desire to use the upper body of the soul to reverse the law of heaven and morality should be even more irresistible.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yu raised his head with a chuckle, his eyes became clearer than before: "Of course there is no serious problem, since he has a body to use, why bother to spend so much effort..."

"Brother Xu, we can't trust him."

Chu Yu was startled, but Zhou Yong squinted his eyes slightly and looked over: "If it is really hopeless, what is the old man trying to do to steal the lamp from Cuiwei Pavilion?"

"Soul Enlightenment Lamp?" Xu Shengan reacted, and the two of them stared at the innocent-looking pavilion master like criminals interrogating in Dali Temple, "Without the Soul Enlightenment Lamp, the influence he took away from you would be even greater. At least, let’s say it’s to limit your actions so as to win the Jiangnan War, what kind of deal is he doing?”

Chu Yu: "..."

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't make any progress. Chu Yu didn't think too much about it. He just thought that this matter should be settled in private.

Seeing that he was keeping his mouth shut, Zhou Yong turned around and said, "Go and manage Nanpo, don't miss out on important things."

If there is anyone among these people who can educate Chu Yu, Zhou Yong is the only one left. Xu Sheng'an nodded in agreement, and then walked towards the south slope.

After being stared at by Zhou Yong's kind gaze for a moment, Chu Yu surrendered and said, "He still wants to drive me out... Just don't worry, this is really a trivial matter..."

"You have your own measure, I don't bother to care about you."

Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

"Worrying after you is not as effective as you being a little more careful. Let's talk about another matter." Zhou Yong took him to the nearest small pavilion in two or three steps, which can be regarded as a relatively remote place around Cuiwei Pavilion. It was empty for a few miles, and I don't know who is always paying attention to preparing warm tea and delicate pastries.Zhou Yong did not lean on the pillar casually anymore, instead he seemed to be sitting upright, and put on a long talk posture: "Master, if my guess is correct, if Da Yue can use your strength to survive this crisis in the south of the Yangtze River. The world is considered peaceful?"

There was some questioning tone in his words, but it was clear that he only spoke for sure, Chu Yu took a sip of tea: "If there is no mistake, it is so."

"If that day really comes," Zhou Yong said lightly, "What are your plans?"

Unexpectedly, this person actually asked such a question, Chu Yu frowned: "What is the plan?"

Zhou Yong was silent for a long time when he heard the words, as if he was waiting for time for Chu Yu to get over it, but he didn't respond for a long time, so he could only explain: "You have been traveling around all these years and tasted the sufferings of the world. At first, you were seeking medical advice to save Kunlun Mountain. The lives of the common people were later put at risk for the safety of Da Viet, and the time to go up the mountain was only a handful. In this way, the turmoil during the war was still excusable, and it is not a high hat to say that you died for the country ...But once there is peace and prosperity, where will you go?"

Speaking of this, Chu Yu finally understood what this person meant, and was about to wave his hand to signal Zhou Yong to rot the rest of the words in his stomach, but he heard this person continue to ask: "Are you going to return to the brand-new Cuiwei Pavilion as the leader? Or follow that person to wander all over the world and make your home?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's what His Majesty meant. The news of the Jiangnan battlefield is extremely tight this time. If it wasn't for the dead soldiers and the important internal personnel in the Southern Camp, we wouldn't be able to find any clues."

Qiu Wei put the teacup firmly held between his fingers aside, looked at Tao Qinglin who looked a little nervous and panicked, and asked, "So what?"

Jiang Chen unobtrusively raised his head and glanced at Qiu Wei, seemed to hesitate for a while, then lowered his face in silence.

Tao Qinglin anxiously said: "Your Majesty! The Army of Dead Soldiers can't be compared with the Westerners' regular army. If the orthodox navy of Dayue in General Su's hands is not reorganized for a day, my south coast will always be a disaster! Your Majesty, General Han and Mr. Chu are all The people in the game, just because they are in this mountain, they must not be able to see the whole situation clearly. Shouldn't the prince..."

He barely spoke halfway, but he felt two cold arrows shot at him suddenly. Tao Qinglin was shocked, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qiu Wei looking at him expressionlessly: "Why is Aiqing hesitating to speak? Go on." .”

Jiang Chen's warning eyes swept over in time, even if he was as straightforward and innocent as Tao Qinglin, at this moment he understood that it was time to chew his tongue and swallow, so he changed the subject and said: "If you stay out of the matter, you will never be able to find out what's going on. If Your Majesty locks up the news , there must be his intentions..."

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Qiu Wei's icy and frosty face, and his expression seemed to ease, Jiang Chen then echoed: "Master Tao is right, the more you are in this closed-off time, the more you have to hold your breath, so that you can see the true meaning of it. "

Qiu Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he still raised his hand to drink tea calmly, and said in a cold voice: "You two adults have worked hard, you have the right to leave today, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow."

This person is not like Qiu Sheng who is a bit more approachable under the high hall, and Jiang Chen and him do not have the same love for teaching as Qiu Sheng. Even in this court hall with only three people, the two still But I dare not make a little mistake, and after ordering to chase away the guests, I can't say a word, and I can only leave with enough etiquette.

Qiu Wei was still holding the bowl of cold tea that he had drunk to the bottom a long time ago. Looking from a distance, this pale face had three deep lines, one long eyebrow, one red and phoenix eyes, and one tightly pursed face. The resolute lip line is like a king of the underworld who was born to offer paper money for a living on a high platform. He has no trace of fireworks, and he is surprised that this is still a living person venting his anger.

After a long silence, Qiu Wei lifted his head from the teacup that seemed to have infinite charm, put the bowl aside casually, and said, "Come out."

His voice was already low and hoarse, but for some unknown reason, he had never been sick with typhoid fever, but he wanted to press his voice to be cold and hoarse. Such a small movement, evenly divided by the huge political hall, could not keep up with the sound of a mosquito Big, but there was someone with good ears, and another one who fell down from the beam without a sound, and the ceremony he performed was not as formal as that of Jiang Tao and the other, as if he knew that this person never looked at these red tapes seriously: "My lord."

Qiu Wei said in that half-dead voice again: "Someone stopped him?"

The man in black stood up and said: "The messenger and the other twenty or so gunners who accompanied him were killed, and the Hai Wen letter was also destroyed. According to your instructions, the one who let go is the one who used to have friendship with His Majesty." The wounds on his body are also left so that no flaws can be seen, and it has been arranged for him to charge and kill, the prince can rest assured."

Qiu Wei lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

The man in black paused, thought for a moment and then said: "At that time, he was wearing Su Wanyue's favorite tiger and wolf night clothes. The clues were arranged just right. His Majesty must have doubted the gunner when he saw him, let alone him. There is a Cuiwei Pavilion Master beside him, no matter what he will do, he will follow the prince's idea and settle this account on Su Wanyue's head."

Qiu Wei smiled: "Do you think Mr. Chu is made of dough? So what if you push it to me?"

The man in black was dumbfounded: "Then... lord?"

The phrase "what to do" was about to come out, Qiu Weiyang smiled and said: "No problem, no problem, I heard that the master of the pavilion didn't make a clear calculation of his own lawsuit, so he won't be pulling my tail... This game is still going on. Yalf has made a detour, and it is calculated here, the war is imminent, is it possible to return to deal with internal affairs?"

The man in black said dumbly: "...Your Highness is wise."

"There is only one thing that I don't understand." Qiu Wei frowned slightly, "Who can turn Yalf's stubborn donkey around? It is really puzzling that the Western soldiers have stood still so far. Wan Yue took care of it a bit late."

"If you say that the sooner they start, the better it will be. After more than a month, no matter how deep the water is, they should get to the bottom of it." The man in black was also puzzled, "This..."

Qiu Wei said: "Although I don't know much about the art of war, I also understand the principle of it. Yalf's move is like leading a snake out of its hole."

The man in black knew that his master had always had the problem of half-talking, and it was not like some unscrupulous military advisers who were not cheering for funny questions, but purely from Qiu Wei's point of view. Every sow should know it well, so there is really no need to say more.

He didn't want to admit that he was inferior to a sow, and he really didn't have the ability to guess what was going on, so he kept silent in embarrassment.

"What?" Qiu Wei raised his head and said jokingly, "If you don't understand, just ask, if you don't understand, just ask, I don't laugh at you."

The man in black: "...the subordinates are ignorant."

"Han Jianhua, Yu Zizhong, and even Lu Chong are already in the Jiangnan battlefield, but the Western soldiers are still so calm..."

"Your subordinate understands!" The man in black interrupted abruptly, the facial muscles under the mask trembled, "Your Majesty is waiting!"

Qiu Wei was taken aback for a short while, then smiled lightly and said, "Do you really think you have become a teacher?" He looked down and saw that the man shrank his head in embarrassment, and suddenly he was in a good mood, and the ending sounded up: "If you say it's Xiao Sheng It’s not impossible, this king just wants to dig out something new from the owner of the Cuiwei Pavilion..."

When the point was over, Qiu Wei didn't say any more, got up and walked out, and the man in black behind him asked, "My lord?"

"A troop transfer order!" Qiu Wei waved his hands gracefully, while leaving with the wind blowing under his feet, "Let the Northwest Army also come and wade through the muddy water!"

He opened the door of the Yizheng Palace so recklessly, and the man in black was about to slip out through the crack of the door, when he realized that Qiu Wei hadn't issued any new orders, turned around and flew up the beam again , leaning on your arm and thinking about new questions:

Why is the Northwest Army here to join in the fun?

What Qiu Wei ordered Dong Qi to pass on to Gao Li, the president of the Northwest Army, was an unmistakable red wax seal to expedite the military order.Ordinary things in the world are naturally not as good as Xue Qianli's divine power, but after all, the most powerful force in the capital was used. Three rounds of troops were replaced midway, and the blessings were non-stop day and night. Originally, it took a full ten days. The urgent team only took four days, which is not much worse than the ancient horse.

Gao Li looked at the familiar handwriting of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and carefully read the troop order that was only a mere number several times, making sure that he really did not misunderstand the military newspaper that came from the capital. Both lieutenants called over.

Counting He Lingyu, who is now in military uniform, and the old man Shen Dong who heard the news and came to gather the number of people, the four of them stood in a row in front of Gao Li, with the same unidentified expressions.

It was not long after noon at this time, and Weizhou had been too peaceful for many years. The Northwest Army, who used to not touch their pillows all day long, had collectively developed a good habit of taking a nap.Except for Old Man Shen, who couldn't sleep because of a hemorrhoid on his buttocks, the three of them had their dreams disturbed, and their expressions were really unkind.

Facing the three black faces, Gao Li immediately felt a pain in his liver, and grinned a little: "The 30 elite soldiers are going to prepare for the battle near the Jiangnan battlefield, who will take them?"

If he really woke up after saying this, Wang Deng immediately widened his big eyes, and dangled in front of Gao Li like a copper bell: "30 elite soldiers?"

To say that this great general is the most difficult to serve in the whole world. He has been toiled in battles for years, and his viscera are not made of gold and iron. sentence.Generals of the country are usually the most reticent, and if they talk too much, ordinary people will think that they have different intentions and they will give up their picks and quit their jobs, but they don't have a confidant.But evasion is evasion, if the general who is used to the turmoil in the battlefield is really left idle at home, he doesn't know what to do to be satisfied, and he thinks about opening up the frontier and expanding the country while the halberd is sinking in the sand, it really is the world The most divisive person ever.

Weizhou has been safe for a long time, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army, who have been idled for the iron-blooded expedition, heard that there is a good opportunity to lead troops to fight, Wang Deng immediately leaned forward with starry eyes: "Really?"

Gao Li handed him the urgent military report according to his words: "Westerners are going to come out in large numbers. The prince is worried that the number of dead soldiers is too small, and the navy will not be able to mobilize for a while. I’m not breathing well, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it, so I transferred some troops from the Northwest Army to prepare for future troubles.”

The four heads got together, but He Lingyu was the first to speak: "I'll go back to Huadu first, and transfer a batch of military equipment from the General Fire Station to Jiangnan. I'll arrange the food and grass."

There is no dispute about what he said, and Wang Deng immediately followed up: "The spirit rain is gone, Lao Gao, do you think I can not go?"

He Lingyu protested slightly: "Don't call me that..."

Gao Li, a bachelor, turned his head to look at Zimmer, and accurately read what he meant from the man's clear eyes: "There is nothing wrong with what Old Wang said."

It would be unkind to meddle in the good thing about the young couple staying together and flying together. Gao Li made a final decision: "Today, I will prepare, and tomorrow I will bring two adjutants that you can use easily. Immediately..."

"General Wang! How about taking the old man with you?"

In front of him was Shen Dong's wrinkled old face, facing him, he put it up very attentively, Wang Deng: "..."

Gao Lizimo looked at each other, only blinked at Wang Deng, raised his hand, and dragged the chubby military division away by the collar.
