end of days

Seeing Zhuo Ran's expression, Xuanyuanhen knew that he had vented most of the unhappiness he held in his heart, so he couldn't help but smile.

The two jumped off their horses, Xuanyuanhen looked at Wuju who was grazing on his own, frowned and said: "Such a disobedient beast, it's better to slaughter it for army rations." He is also a horse lover Man, but today he was really annoyed by this horse.

"Forget it, I was the one who provoked it. Famous horses are always a bit arrogant. If you don't want them, just give them to me." Zhuo Ran smiled. Although this Wuju horse has a bad temper, it is quite to his taste. , I couldn't help thinking about maintenance.

While speaking, Zhuo Ran stretched out his hand to touch the soft fur on Wuju's neck, as if feeling Zhuo Ran's kindness, the horse also rubbed against his palm.

"Now I know it's easy to please. I didn't see it so easy to deal with when I went crazy just now." Xuanyuan Hen smiled, but his words were a little sour. He always felt that Zhuo Ran was three points better with a horse than with him!

"..." Looking at Xuanyuan Hen's wrinkled face and the jealousy in his words, Zhuo Ran naturally guessed the weird thoughts in the emperor's mind, and immediately felt angry and funny. Xuanyuan Hen was very calm in dealing with things, but Personality... He is clearly still a child.

Seeing him laughing, Xuanyuanhen immediately panicked, but was also happy to see Zhuo Ran cheering up.

After an unknown amount of time, De Yu finally caught up, seeing the two of them safe and sound, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing the obvious worry on De Yu's face, Zhuo Ran naturally felt a little guilty, all because of his inexplicable persistence in his heart, so many incidents happened along the way.

It was strange to say that, when Zhuo Ran thought about it, the feeling of depression that had lingered in his heart for a long time suddenly faded a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was true that, as others said, his thoughts were too heavy, and he would end up hurting others and himself.

"Do you want to walk again?" Xuanyuanhen saw that his expression changed again and again, but he didn't know what Zhuo Ran was thinking, for fear that he would drive him into some dead end again.

"No need, just stay here and wait for the reunion with the army." Zhuo Ran smiled slightly, and Xuanyuan Hen's eyes were glued to that rare smile immediately, and he didn't even blink in a daze.

"You don't have to follow me like this. You are the king of a country and the commander of an army, so you should take care of yourself more."

When Zhuoran said this, Xuanyuanhen didn't know what to answer, there was nothing to say between the two of them for a while, they just watched the nearby scenery silently, until the army that had been thrown away finally caught up, they went up one after the other took the dragon chariot.

The journey was peaceful, Xuanyuanhen was still very caring for Zhuo Ran, and asked about his health, Zhuo Ran was not as indifferent as before, occasionally answering a few words would make the emperor happy for a long time.

Compared with riding a horse, staying on the dragon chariot every day is naturally much more comfortable, but Xuanyuan Hen's staring at people and taking medicine for three meals a day is still unbearable for Zhuo Ran. What annoys him the most is that there is no reason to refuse, after all, he promised himself before He had to take good care of his body, and for the rest of the time, Zhuo Ran just silently looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

As the destination approached, Xuanyuanhen frowned more and more, and the low table in front of him was full of battle reports from the front.

The current battle situation is not optimistic for them.

The food and grass had been sent to the army in time, and the urgent need was finally resolved. However, Xidi's hundreds of thousands of troops were still staring at the opposite side. With the strength of Pei Ju and Ling Yang's troops, they could barely survive. Thanks to the strong frontier defense line, they could last for so long. .

What's even more strange is that Ling Yang and Pei Ju secretly discussed and planned several surprise attacks, but they all ended in failure for some reason. They also suspected that there were spies in the army, but those who participated in the discussions were all their confidantes for many years. Judging from the battle situation, it is indeed not a problem with one's own side.

Xidi's defense was unexpectedly impeccable.

The army that attacked the enemy camp at night would even get lost inexplicably and then hit the trap that Xidi had set up long ago, causing heavy casualties!

From this point of view, there is only one reason!

"Formation..." Zhuo Ran, who was originally sitting by the window, came behind Xuanyuanhen at some point, and his thoughts were exactly what Xuanyuanhen guessed in his mind.

"It seems that there must be good players in the Xidi army!" Zhuo Ran looked at the battle report spread out in front of Xuanyuanhen, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he was as happy as meeting an opponent.

"En." Xuanyuanhen's mouth curled up into a smile, of course he knew what Zhuo Ran was expecting.

Another thing that Wuji disciples are good at is marching and forming formations, and Qimen Dunjia!

Xuanyuanhen is not very proficient in formations. Although he is a veritable disciple of the Wuji Sect, but because he has devoted himself to studying the art of emperors, he has only learned a lot from Qimen Dunjia, but Zhuo Ran is undoubtedly a master!

Maybe it's because I don't think about the messy things recently, Zhuo Ran began to show some of his personality when he was young, the stagnant state of mind before has been completely confused and disturbed, and some waves have also begun to arise. Therefore, when he saw this battle report, the first thing that surged in his heart was the expectation for the enemy.

Hope - I will not be disappointed.

The scenery outside the window gradually changed from green mountains and green waters to ancient roads, westerly winds, and thin horses. Even the wind blowing on his face seemed a little fierce. Xuanyuanhen knew that their destination was not far away.

Two days later, what appeared in front of their eyes was the endless grassland, but when they looked back, they could see the vast desert, and they seemed to be able to hear the tinkling of camel bells when they closed their eyes.

At the end of the field of vision, a large white tent can be seen in the distance.

"That's where it is!"

The borderlands were extremely desolate, and the surrounding mountains were all bare, with nothing to hide from. Naturally, troops could not be stationed in such a place, so they had to pick a place with abundant water and grass at the foot of the mountain to set up a barracks.

The barracks looked not far away, but it still took nearly two hours for the army to reach the finish line. When they got out of the car, they saw Pei Ju, Ling Yang and his party waiting outside the big tent.

"Your servants are waiting to welcome you——"

"Excuse me." Xuanyuanhen walked into the big tent, but he didn't ignore the sudden strange look on Pei Ju's face. The person Pei Ju was looking at was Zhuo Ran.

Although Xuanyuanhen was very puzzled, he also knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he could only temporarily suppress the questions in his heart, because there were obviously more important things to do in front of him.

"Generals, let's sit down and chat." Xuanyuanhen waved his hand to signal to all the generals in the battalion to give their seats, and he himself took Zhuo Ran to the chief seat.

Except for Pei Ju and Ling Yang, when they saw Zhuo Ran beside the emperor, they all had some doubts in their eyes. It was obvious that a stranger who had never met suddenly became the chief, which surprised them very much. "How is the situation these few days?" Xuanyuan Hen glanced All the people in the account saw a sense of frustration on their faces.

"The minister is incompetent." Pei Ju gritted his teeth, but he had mixed feelings in his heart. It was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent as Xi Di after so many years of marching and fighting.

"Recently, I have been dragging on with Xidi to death. There has been no progress and even lost many soldiers. Moreover, Xidi has easily defeated several times when he took the initiative to attack. The ministers are really speechless to meet Jun Yan."

Pei Ju lowered his head and sighed, in the past, he would never have imagined that Xidi was such a tough nut to crack!

"According to the opinions of the Qing family, what kind of victory weapon does Xidi have?"

"It must be an extremely difficult formation." Ling Yang cupped his hands, although he knew a little about the five elements, he still didn't understand the formation, but all signs showed that Xidi must be surrounded by someone who was in a strange situation this time.

Once one's own army approaches, they will feel dizzy, and the surrounding scenery is also blurred and indistinguishable. There is really no second reason to explain this evil performance.

"I have sent people to investigate the battle, but no one has been able to see what happened. I think this formation should be a living formation, and the people who guide this formation are definitely not good."

"It's too early to draw conclusions. Even if it's a death formation, various formations can complement each other to produce various changes." Zhuo Ran said suddenly, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Expectations, dissatisfaction, contempt...

Zhuoran thought for a while, and then said: "The mortal formation, from nothing to existence, from a lifetime to ten thousand, in the end it seems to be just a little bit, and a little bit is enough to break the formation."

All formations have formation eyes and dead spots, and the so-called masters of formation formations are those who find the most fundamental point from various changes and break it with one blow. No matter how intricate the subsequent formation formation is, it will be destroyed overnight. The room fell apart.

"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to see the root of the formation!" Zhuo Ran said, someone immediately refuted it, and it seemed that he understood the way.

"How do you know if it's easy or difficult if you don't look at it?"

As soon as he said this, Xuanyuanhen immediately said: "It's too dangerous, I can't let you go."

Zhuo Ran's eyes widened immediately when he heard the words, the emperor's words were clearly contradictory to him!He said it well before he set off, but he obstructed him in every way when he arrived on the battlefield!

"It's useless to look at it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. You are not in good health. I will never let you take this risk!" Xuanyuanhen's voice sounded very determined, obviously there was no room for negotiation.

However, Zhuo Ran was unwilling to give in. When they came and went, both of them were extremely unhappy, and everyone in the tent found an excuse to run away early when they saw that the situation was not right, but many people secretly felt that Zhuo Ran seemed to be very proficient in cloth. It would be best for him to explore the way of the formation, but due to the emperor's anger, he did not dare to speak out.

The emperor's nervousness towards this person can be seen clearly by anyone, who dares to stroke the tiger's beard at this time!

Qi returned to Qi, Xuanyuanhen still didn't dare to neglect Zhuo Ran's body, and ordered someone to boil the medicine before nightfall, but Zhuo Ran was angry and refused to drink it.

"Feiqing..."

"Take it away, it doesn't matter if you drink it or not, well, you won't keep your promise to let me do things!" He turned his head and ignored Xuanyuanhen, but Zhuo Ran felt hesitant in his heart.

"I can consider letting you drink after you drink..."

"Okay, you said it!" Before Xuanyuanhen finished speaking, Zhuo Ran grabbed the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, then lay down on his own, treating Xuanyuanhen as if he was a transparent person. Xuanyuanhen smiled and didn't speak , just sat quietly on the side, until he heard the breathing of the person on the couch getting longer, then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.

In the medicine just now, he has long been given medicinal herbs to calm the nerves.

Even if Zhuo Ran didn't say anything on the face, Xuanyuanhen could roughly guess his plan from the expression on his face, he clearly wanted to sneak out at night, he didn't doubt Zhuo Ran's ability, it was really his current state, It's really hard to rest assured.

In desperation, he could only do some tricks quietly.

But Xuanyuanhen didn't know that as soon as he left the big tent, Zhuo Ran opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.

Spitting out the medicinal juice contained in his mouth, Zhuo Ran smiled slyly, he had never seen anything in the rivers and lakes in his early years, how could he be tricked by this bowl of medicine!
