Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

The "General Li" who was bound by the rope struggled unwillingly. Du Ruyuan reached out and probed his face, pulled off the false eyebrows and beard, and took off a mask as thin as cicada's wings, revealing a 24 The facial features of a man around [-] years old are very mediocre, and his complexion is slightly pale.

Du Ruyuan said slowly: "I think this is your true face."

Commander Gao at the side turned pale with shock: "Zhao Yan?"

Du Ruyuan took a step back and looked at the man carefully: "Zhao Yan? I've checked the roster of the West County Prince's Mansion in the next few days, and I'm impressed with this name. The leader of the West County Palace's Dark Guard Orchid Society is well-deserved."

When Le Yue stepped into the conference hall, he happened to see the scene in front of him, so he couldn't help but stop.

Du Ruyuan walked to Le Yue's side, sighed slightly: "Take this time as a lesson for the first time entering the battlefield."

Le Yue stood there stiffly, his face pale.The armor on his body was put on for the first time today, and it was already stained with blood.There are Luo Lingzhi, Lieutenant General Qian, and other soldiers who can't even remember their names.Luo Lingzhi and Deputy General Qian led out [-] soldiers, most of which were lost.The price paid for this lesson is too great.

Commander Gao and several people from the Jianghu couldn't hold back, and asked Zhao Yan where the real General Li and Wen Qi were now. Zhao Yan kept silent and sneered.

However, Le Yue also knew based on conjecture that the real General Li and Wen Qi might be in danger.

General Gao couldn't ask for a long time, and hissed in grief and indignation: "Zhao Yan, think about your conscience, who rescued you from the kidnapper back to the palace? Who taught you the basic martial arts? Who introduced you to Lanhua?" Yes? Brother Li has treated you like a son all these years, you little bastard really knows how to repay you!"

Zhao Yan raised his eyes, looked viciously at Commander Gao, and said with a sneer: "Bah! The traitor who betrayed the palace dares to repay his kindness! I only know that my master is the princess. Without the princess, Zhao Yan would not be here today. His resentful eyes scanned everyone one by one, and finally landed on Le Yue, "You mob, are you still trying to deal with King Anshun's army? Ahaha! Even without me, you will be defeated! Anyone who opposes the princess, In the end, they all have to die!"

Du Ruyuan said: "Why don't we bother you in the future, but you must imagine your end." He leaned down and said in a harmonious voice: "However, if you tell me the whereabouts of General Li and Wen Qi's bones, I can temporarily protect you Life, maybe you can still see King Anshun break the city, we are defeated and killed, how about it?"

Gao Tong's leaders dug up General Li's body under the rockery in the back garden of Xijun Mansion. His body had not yet decomposed, his eyes were wide open, and the expression on his face was full of shock and anxiety.

Wen Qi's body was frozen intact in a hidden corner of the ice cellar of the Xijun Prince's Mansion.Princess Chu Ling left his body, probably wanting to use his status as Young Master Wen to make another fuss.

Mrs. Nangong said to Le Yue: "Le Yue Shaoxia, please keep Master Wen's body here for the time being. If the turmoil in Jiuyi City can be solved, then let the Wen family come."

Le Yue acquiesced.

After leaving the ice cellar, a fireworks signal sounded suddenly in the sky.Commander Gao shouted in surprise: "It's the signal from the Xijun Prince's Mansion! The pair led by Sun Shaoxia won the victory!"

The crowd cheered. After the disastrous defeat, fortunately, there was another victory, and Sun Ben defeated the most powerful army in the north, which was guarded by King Anshun himself.

Only Yue Yue still looked heavy.

"Brother Yue, go and change the battle armor." Du Ruyuan said to Le Yue in a warm voice, "The doctor who treated Brother Luo and the others said that although they had many wounds, they were not in danger of dying, so Brother Yue needn't worry too much. "

Le Yue nodded silently, and went back to the room.A moment later, a servant from the Xijun Prince's Mansion brought a large bucket of hot water, Le Yue took off his blood-stained armor, Zhao Yuan crawled out of his arms, and soaked in the bucket with him.

Zhao Yuan knew that according to Le Yue's temperament, he would definitely attribute the fiasco of Luo Lingzhi and Deputy General Qian to himself, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable.It thought for a long time, and found a sentence that mortals often say in this situation, and Qiqi Ai Ai comforted him, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs."

Le Yue splashed water on his face, "But one or two thousand lives cannot be dismissed with this sentence."

Zhao Yuan was startled.

After bathing, Le Yue changed into casual clothes, put Zhao Yuan in his arms, and just opened the door, and saw a fiery figure standing outside the door, obviously waiting for him, it was Lin Jing.

Lin Jing looked at his face, and said briskly: "I heard from Du Shudai that you were in a bad mood, so I came to comfort you. It's your first time fighting, and it's normal to make some mistakes in judgment. I didn't see it, you were not the only one who made the mistake. What's more, now that Sun Ben has won, we can count as a comeback."

Le Yue didn't answer, Lin Jing continued: "I just came over from Luo Lingzhi's side, Luo Ling was hit by a few arrows, but they didn't hurt the vitals, Deputy General Qian was slightly injured than him, it wasn't serious I'm in the way."

With a blank expression, Le Yue nodded slightly.

Lin Qing frowned, and her brisk expression suddenly changed: "Le Yue, I always thought you were a real man, but I didn't expect you to lose so much!" She conjured a mirror out of nowhere, held it up in front of him, "Look at your face now! Indecisive, mother-in-law and mother! How can you be a little manly! What time is it? The soldiers are approaching the city! The surname Sun relied on the help of the old dragon to win a game by chance, and I don't know what will happen after that! Yes , Those people died because of your wrong decision, can you go to the underworld to snatch their souls back now? Whispering about things that are already irreversible, do you want to wait for everyone in the city to come back? You are willing to die!"

Le Yue's brows twitched twitching, Lin Qing stood on tiptoe, grabbed his collar with lightning speed, and said viciously: "You, it's best, now, cheer me up and act like a man !"

Le Yue's expression was distorted, and although he was still silent, his listless look gradually faded away.

There was a moment of Ningku in the air, and suddenly, there was a crackling sound of something falling to the ground.

Lin Qing turned her head to the side, and a little maid from the West County Prince's Mansion was busy cleaning up the tea trays, teapots and tea bowls on the ground. She raised her head sneakily, met Lin Qing's gaze, and hurriedly stuttered, "Slave... Slave... …I didn’t see anything! I didn’t see anything!” He didn’t even care to pick up the things on the ground, and ran away with his skirt in his hands.

Lin Jing blinked, and was stunned for a moment before realizing that the distance between her and Le Yue's nose was only the width of a rape leaf!In great embarrassment, she immediately threw away her hand, took a step back, her face was a little hot, and she still said forcefully: "Don't let me see your mother-in-law again!" Before Le Yue could react, he said : "I, I'll go to the front hall to see if Sun Ben is back, come here quickly." He hurried away.

Le Yue stared at Lin Jing's back, stood there for a while, gently pressed Zhao Yuan in his arms, straightened his back, and strode towards the front hall.

Sun Ben got off his horse in the front yard. The blood on his armor and the tattered black cloak showed that he had not fought this battle very easily.

Le Yue and Du Ruyuan greeted them down the steps, Le Yue clasped his fists and said, "Brother Sun, you've worked hard."

Sun Ben took off his helmet and said humbly, "It's just a narrow victory." But there was a trace of joy that couldn't be concealed between his brows and eyes.He threw the reins to an attendant beside him, "Sun led five thousand soldiers and horses into battle, and lost more than five hundred, and wiped out about three thousand Mao Wangfu soldiers, and the enemy retreated for fifty li in a hurry."

Commander Gao sincerely admired and said: "I was disrespectful to Sun Xiashi before, and I really have no eyes. Sun Xiashi was able to defeat King Anshun and Mao Wangfu with [-] soldiers and horses, and cut off the way of transporting troops outside the city without a sound. world."

Sun Ben grinned and bared his white teeth: "Commander Gao has won the award, and the merit of breaking the military strategy should still be attributed to Le Shaoxia." His eyes turned on Le Yue, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "The only one that Sun has suppressed today is There are only Mao Wangfu soldiers and horses, but there is no King Anshun. As I expected, King Anshun's camp behind Mao Wangfu is a fake camp."

What is a fake camp?Sun Ben didn't have time to change his armor, so he went to the sand table in the meeting hall and explained in detail.

When he saw the map of the enemy's formation the day before yesterday, he felt suspicious. King Anshun had always used his troops cunningly, and this layout was not in line with his usual style.

Since Beijun and Anshun King's army first arrived at the north of Jiuyi City, they said that the main road from the north of the city to Beijun is under the control of Anshun King and Beijun. Anshun King has a strong confidant Mao Wangfu leading a heavy army in the north of the city. There is no need to personally follow Mao Wangfu Lead heavy troops again.

"Furthermore, the number of soldiers and horses outside the city is claimed to be [-] to [-]. According to my guess, it is just a false report of the number, and the actual number of troops cannot exceed [-]."

Sun Ben drew a few lines on the sand table with a bamboo stick.Beijun fell into the trap of Princess Xijun, guessing that she was hiding soldiers in the city, and the princess set up a suspicious formation at that time, making Beijun think that the number of Tibetan soldiers was no more than [-].Afterwards, Beijun sent troops to Xijun under the banner of fighting chaos for the imperial court. Naturally, they did not dare to send too many troops, for fear of arousing taboo from the imperial court, especially King Anshun, so they dispatched [-] troops at most.King Anshun came to mediate, leading up to five thousand troops.Therefore, the soldiers and horses guarding the four sides of Jiuyi City should be within [-].Both Beijun and King Anshun's territories are far away, and the follow-up troops have not yet arrived.

Sun Ben held a small paper flag for marking in his hand, and looked around: "Then, if you are King Anshun, will you focus on defending there?"

Le Yue was stunned, and looked towards the south of the city on the sand table.

Sun Ben grinned: "Not bad." He planted the paper flag heavily in the south of the city.

Le Yue understood everything.King Anshun wanted to guard against the sudden arrival of Nanjun's army, so he pretended to send his deputy general Guo Lang to defend the city, but he actually sat down in the south of the city himself.King Anshun knew that there were three major guardian gods on their side, and he would definitely check the troops from the air. In order to create the illusion that Jiuyi City was surrounded by heavy troops and that King Anshun was in the north of the city, he set up an empty camp behind Mao Wangfu's troops.

Sun Ben circled his arms: "This is also the reason why Sun began to doubt General Li."

You Changmeng is clearly not a direct descendant of the king of Beijun, but he can lead troops to guard one side. Obviously he is specially arranged by the court and King Anshun in Beijun.

"Le Shaoxia hasn't fought a battle, so he can't see it. General Li, as the general of Xijun, has been fighting against Beijun for many years. It's impossible that he didn't even grasp this bit of news."

Du Ruyuan nodded: "Yes, he even wanted to give Brother Yue five thousand troops to attack You Changmeng. At that time, I also thought he was strange." So, he thought of the three great pulse protectors who suddenly disappeared after appearing on the tower. Missing "Wen Qi", the confidant of the Princess of the West County.

Sun Ben continued: "At that time, I judged that King Anshun wanted to use You Changmeng to lure us into battle, and then took the opportunity to attack Jiuyi. But King Anshun has always been cautious and would not use troops from the south of the city to guard against Nanjun's reinforcements. The one who might attack Jiuyi is the Maowangfu Department in the north." He shrugged, "It's a pity that everyone refused to believe Sun at that time. Fortunately, I made a bet with Le Shaoxia last night."

Yesterday, after Le Yue decided to take the initiative to attack You Changmeng, and let Luo Lingzhi fight on his behalf, he felt uneasy.

In the middle of the night, when it was almost three o'clock, Sun Ben brought Fei Xianfeng to knock on his door, and the first sentence he said was: "Has Shaoxia Le ever thought about how to save the army if he loses?" Xia Bai was dazzling, "Shall Le Shaoxia make a bet with Sun that is beneficial and harmless to you?"

Sun Ben's bet is very simple.

If Le Yue's judgment is correct, and Luo Lingzhi and Deputy General Qian really defeated You Changmeng, Sun Ben will completely obey him from then on; Cut off the troop transport road outside the city.

Sun Ben's original intention was to find Lin Jing for help, and he has always been brooding over the fact that Lin Jing chose Luo Lingzhi instead of him.But Le Yue considered that Lin Jing and Sun Ben were not at odds. I am afraid that Lin Jing would roll up her sleeves and go to Sun Ben to settle accounts when she heard this condition. There is only Ying Ze.

Le Yuezhu took advantage of the night to beg Yingze, but Yingze refused outright, because the old man didn't bother to participate in ordinary people's boring betting activities, and Zhao Yuan and Le Yue's good words together were useless.In the end, Le Yue had no choice but to use his trump card and promised Ying Ze meals and snacks for three years, and Ying Ze reluctantly agreed.

At this time, when Sun Ben mentioned this bet, he was quite complacent.Le Yue also sighed in his heart, and sincerely admired Sun Ben's talent in warfare.

Sun Ben glanced at the sand table again, and said: "Le Shaoxia made a mistake in his judgment this time, but it was convenient for the suppression of Mao Wangfu's troops. There are not many soldiers left guarding the north. If there is no accident, it is Wu Zhiming and You Chang at this time." Mengbu temporarily fills in."

Vice-General Ma followed Sun Ben to the battle. After this battle, his confidence increased greatly, and he suggested: "Then let's take this opportunity to go north and occupy a few towns?"

The rest of the people were silent, Le Yue thought carefully and stopped making random judgments. Mrs. Nangong interjected: "We people in Jianghu don't understand war, but Jiuyi City originally had fewer soldiers, and this time it wasted nearly two thousand. If we send troops again , the city is empty, isn’t it an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of?”

Du Ruyuan said: "Then I would like to ask Deputy General Ma and Commander Gao, besides your ten thousand troops, what is the distribution of other troops in West County?"

Commander Gao immediately said: "The prince's study has a map of the distribution of troops in Xijun."

Sun Ben said: "Don't be too busy, the matter of sending troops has to be discussed again. Sun must first wash and wash off the blood and dust on his body." As he said, he untied his tattered cloak and armor, unexpectedly Throw it straight at Le Yue.

Le Yue raised his hand to untie it.

Everyone was shocked.

Commander Gao hurriedly called the guards over to take the armor from Le Yue, but Sun Ben raised his hand to stop him: "This is one of the terms of the bet between Sun and Shaoxia Le. If he loses, he will scrub the armor for me."

Everyone was surprised again.

Sun Ben laughed and said, "Le Shaoxia, thank you."

Le Yue said: "Of course, brother Sun, don't worry, I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

On the south side of Xijun Prince's Mansion are the servants' kitchen and other places. There is also a rather large vegetable garden. There is a well at the mouth of the vegetable garden. Le Yue carried Sun Ben's armor to the well. Basin of water, and found a brush, dipped in water and saponin powder, scrub carefully.

Scrubbing the armor was a labor-intensive task. Fortunately, the armor Sun Ben was wearing was one of the armors of the King of the West County. It was made of silver and copper instead of iron armor, so it could get wet.After removing the blood stains with cold water, dry them with a soft cloth, and finally apply a layer of special oil for maintenance.All this was known to Le Yue after he specifically asked the servants in charge of maintaining the armor in the palace.

Hiding in his arms, Zhao Yuan used his spiritual power to check if there was no one around, and then used water tricks to roll the water in the basin into a small water dragon, and washed the armor back and forth, saving Le Yue a lot of time.

After a long period of practice, it has become more and more comfortable controlling these small spells, but for some reason, it is still unable to transform into a human form.

When someone's breath approached, it put away its magic spells, and the spiritual power in its body had returned to a fairly abundant state. After appearing in the shape of a huge golden dragon on the city wall, there was even a faint breakthrough. can detect.

At this time, it heard someone whispering not far away.

"...that Long Shaojun has a golden dragon body protection, how could he still lose?"

"Could it be that it's not him that Jinlong guarded, but the one surnamed Sun?"

"I saw clearly at the time, it was definitely him!"

"Maybe it's a blindfold. If he is really the Dragon Lord, why would he wash the armor for that surnamed Sun here?"

"Perhaps he used this method to express his courtesy to the corporal. If he is really the Dragon King, he will admit defeat and help the people below wash their armor. Even if he loses two battles, I still admire him. .”

"That's right, no matter how the real man is, he is still a person after all."

Zhao Yuan listened silently, Le Yue who was drying his armor with a cloth suddenly said, "No."

Zhao Yuan squirmed a little in shock, and Le Yue said to himself: "I still want to find some military books to read, even if I'm embracing the battle, it's better to read than not to read."

There should be a lot of military books in the Xijun Prince's Mansion.

In the meeting hall of Leyue Road, the polished armor was handed over to Sun Ben after bathing, and by the way, he asked Commander Gao if there was any military book in the Xijun Palace.

Commander Gao happily replied, yes, and even more happily took Le Yue directly to a room, unlocked the door, pointed to the densely packed bookcases on the four walls of the room, and said: "These are all county books. The military book collected by the palace."

Lin Jing, Du Ruyuan, Shang Jing, and Sun Ben who was watching the show all followed Le Yue with Fei Xianfeng.

Seeing Le Yue standing stiffly in front of the door, Sun Ben sneered and said, "Le Shaoxia, I'm afraid I won't have time for you to study hard for a while." (Who~!! I hate Sun Ben!! ╭(╯( ^╰) ╮) Du Ruyuan stepped into the door and looked around, took out a book from the bookshelf to look through, and was full of interest: "The collection of books in the Prince's Mansion of Xijun is beyond my knowledge. In the vast mountains and seas, there must be treasures. Commander Gao Scratching her head: "My lord didn't like to read books when he was alive, but the concubine and the lord love to collect books, especially the princess... It's almost become a hobby. She doesn't really read much, but she heard that there are military books, so she must get them. . "

Du Ruyuan was pacing in front of the bookshelf with great interest, then turned his head suddenly and said, "By the way, brother Yue, I happened to think of a formation that can be used as a book of war. Why don't you and my brother and I study it here first."

Commander Gao immediately said with great interest: "Then let's discuss the succession of Le Shaoxia Du Shi's grandson first, and I still have things to do, so let's go first." He left the key of the library, and took the accompanying guards to leave leave.

When they were far away, Du Ruyuan closed the door, changed his interest in the books on war, and said solemnly: "Brother Yue, let's discuss how to send troops tonight."

Le Yue was slightly taken aback, Du Ruyuan explained: "There are many eyes and ears in the county prince's mansion, besides Zhao Yan, there may be other spies, so we have to be cautious."

Le Yue immediately realized that it was just to guard against spies. When he asked about his next plan in the conference hall just now, Sun Ben and Du Ruyuan were only perfunctory.

He thought deeply: "In this way, Zhao Yan is loyal to Princess Chu Ling and has nothing to do with King Anshun, but according to Brother Sun's analysis of the strength of the Quartet, the strength of You Changmeng's troops is obviously much higher than it should be. It stands to reason Even if they waited for us, Mao Wangfu's troops were quicker to reinforce nearby, but Wu Zhiming's and You Changmeng's troops were ambushed all the way, as if they already knew about our deployment."

Le Yue frowned, Vice-General Qian, Vice-General Ma, Commander Gao, and even Mrs. Nangong, Nangongling, and Mrs. Luluo, King Anshun's old lover, could all be...

Even though Le Yue still has little knowledge of the battle, he also knows that the timing and goal of the next battle are extremely important, even related to the overall success or failure of the battle.

Mao Wangfu was caught off guard by Sun Ben and lost more than half of it. The other three parties must send troops to supplement. At this time, the reinforcements from King Anshun and Beijun did not arrive. Joining in the troops who can dispatch and supplement at this moment will hit the enemy head-on. The impact is bound to be huge.

Le Yue scratched his head vigorously: "King Anshun is very cautious. He probably won't transfer the heavy troops in the south of the city to reinforce the north. So it should be Wu Zhiming or You Changmeng who sent troops to reinforce Mao Wangfu?"

Du Ruyuan said: "Brother Yue, whether it's you, me or Brother Sun, we are far from qualified to speculate on King Anshun's way of using troops. We can only consider various aspects, and try to choose the most beneficial method for us."

So, what is the most beneficial course of action?Le Yue said, "Go north again?"

Mao Wangfu had already lost most of his strength, so if he joined in the pursuit of the victory at this time, he could cut off the reinforcements from Beijun.

Sun Ben said bluntly: "It won't work. Mao Wangfu is loyal to King Anshun. Today in the siege in the tunnel, he didn't fight me resolutely in order to preserve his strength. He joined and attacked the north. Even if there was only one person left, he would fight to the end. .”

Le Yue realized that no matter how aggressive they are, they are afraid of death. At present, they should focus on preserving their troops. Of course they can win if they attack the north, but if they join Mao Wangfu with the determination to die together, they will definitely lose a lot of troops.

"So, directly intercept the reinforcements?"

Sun Ben smiled, nodded and said, "Le Shaoxia is finally right." Lin Jing on the side glared at him unhappily. Which way to reinforce the north," he took out the sketch of Yizhang Jiuyi City from his arms and spread it on the ground, pointing his fingers on the two roads from east to west, "we have to pass here or here, and our ambush will naturally Ambush at these two places."

Sun Ben rubbed his chin: "Now there is another problem, these two teams must be led by absolutely reliable people, one of them is naturally handed over to Sun, as for the other..." He glanced at Le Yue, Fei Xianfeng gave a coordinating giggle, "Beside Le Shaoxia, the young hero of Luo Ling, who was personally selected by Miss Linjing, seems to be seriously injured and unable to get up on the sick bed, so the leader of the team... ..."

Le Yue immediately said: "Although I have little experience, I have no choice but to go up. I hope Brother Sun can give me some pointers."

Sun Ben smiled with satisfaction. "This battle is of great importance, I hope Le Shaoxia will not delay the important event."

Lin Jing cast a cold glance at Sun Ben, and said loudly, "Le Yue, I'll go with you."

Sun Ben smacked his lips: "Miss Qilin must do her best this time, and don't cause a tragedy like the young hero of Luo Ling."

Lin Jingmo suddenly changed color, and when she was about to explode, she forcibly held back, only showing a cold smile and said: "More reminders, and I hope some people will not be arrogant because of small victories, remember that arrogant soldiers must be defeated, don't make mistakes It's a big deal."

Sun Ben laughed out loud and didn't answer, he just said to Le Yue: "Then it's decided, you and I will each lead two thousand soldiers and set off at dark." He took the flying vanguard and opened the door to leave.

Du Ruyuan patted Le Yue's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Brother Yue, remember not to disclose this matter to anyone other than the three of us. When it gets dark, you and Brother Sun will set off immediately."

Le Yue nodded in agreement.

In the month of May, the sun has just sunk into the ground, and the sky is full of red clouds, and there is still some time before night falls.

Le Yue went to Luo Lingzhi's bedroom first, and saw that he was sleeping, and his complexion had improved a lot.Le Yue stood beside his bed for a moment, then turned and left lightly.

Lin Jing whispered to him: "Don't worry, Luo Lingzhi has eaten my unicorn pill, and even the princess's poison has no effect on him. This small injury will definitely heal soon."

Le Yue nodded.

After leaving Luo Lingzhi's room, Lin Jing couldn't stay idle, and used the invisibility technique to search around in a hurry.Le Yue decided to go back to his bedroom to rest for a while. After walking a few steps, he saw Commander Gao wandering around in the open space in front of his bedroom, as if he was waiting for him to come back.

Sure enough, when Commander Gao saw Le Yue, he quickly walked up to him and said with a smile, "Just now after I left the library, I suddenly remembered that there is a very rare book that Le Shaoxia might need." He took out a brocade bag from the leather pouch, handed it to Le Yue, looked around, and said in a low voice, "This book was specially given to him by the first emperor when he was granted the title of king. It is said that it is It has been handed down from the previous dynasty, a mysterious book written by a master with great powers. There are mysterious formations and the like in it. Unfortunately, no one in the palace understands the mysterious art, and they can't understand the mystery. Le Shaoxia is the mysterious Being from the Famen sect, I think this book might be waiting for a predestined person like Le Shaoxia."

Le Yue didn't dare to express his joy, and after receiving it, he only thanked Commander Gao sincerely.Zhao Yuan probed with spiritual power, and there didn't seem to be any hidden weapons or poisons in the box.After Commander Gao bid farewell and left, Le Yue returned to the room, closed the door, and opened Bubao to take a closer look.

In the brocade bundle is a very finely carved wooden box, with a hidden button mechanism on the box cover, and a pattern of yin and yang and gossip engraved on it. Le Yue fiddled with it for a while, but the box cover remained motionless, and Zhao Yuan got out of his arms , used some mana, and poured it on the gossip pattern, and the box cover opened with a click.

The box was padded with thick light yellow brocade, and a dark blue book lay in the middle.

The light in the room was a bit dim, and Zhao Yuan's whole body glowed with golden light, reflecting a few square words inscribed on the writing - "Book of Qixuan Formation".

Le Yue picked up the book, opened it, and found that the cover of the book seemed to have been pasted up again. The paper on the inside was very plain, and the handwriting was quite different from the cover.

On the first page, there was a line written in unrestrained and unrestrained notes———a few words written in the notes made Le Yue and Zhao Yuan turn pale with shock.
