"Just what?" Seeing Hou Shi frowning slightly, Shuo Ling asked.
Then Hou Shi said, "Where Zhan You will be tomorrow, there will be people with strong martial arts guarding him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through!"
"Okay, I will be responsible for finding Zhan You tomorrow, and I will take care of the potion." Shuo Ling looked at Hou Shi and said.
Hou Shi nodded after hearing this, and then said to him, "Now it seems that this is the only thing, but tomorrow Shuohou must be careful, and Zhan You must be spared a life."
"Don't worry, King Gu. I will never break my promise to King Gu!" Shuo Ling said at this time.
Hou Shi turned around and picked up the potion he had just prepared from the table, then walked to Shuo Ling and said, "Marquis Shuo must keep this potion safe. There is only one bottle. I will use it tomorrow."
"Definitely." Shuo Ling said, taking the medicine bottle from Hou Shi's hand, and then put it on his chest.
Shuo Ling then walked out of Zhan You's tent and walked towards his own tent.
Mo Li, who was guarding in front of the tent, also followed Shuo Ling and walked in.
After Shuo Ling sat down, Mo Li poured him a glass of water and said, "Master Hou."
"Yeah." Shuo Ling nodded.
Then Mo Li asked, "Master Hou, tomorrow is the battle between our army and Xiling. It has been a long time since we rushed from the imperial city to the frontier fortress. I have not had a good rest. I seem to have lost a lot of weight. There is nothing in the army now. Master Hou." Just take a good rest, otherwise Madam will feel distressed when she sees you."
"You talk a lot today." Shuo Ling put down the cup he picked up and then said.
After hearing this, Mo Li quickly took a few steps back, then cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Lord Marquis. I will go out immediately and do not disturb Lord Marquis' rest."
With that said, Li Li walked outside.
After Mo Li walked out of the tent.
Shuo Ling couldn't help closing his eyes and sighed. He didn't know how his Zijin was doing now. Judging by the time, he should have arrived in Beiling soon.
I don't know if she still has any resentment towards him. The time is not yet ripe, so he has no choice but to do this for the sake of the overall situation.
Thinking of this, Shuo Ling opened his eyes and whispered, "Zijin, wait for me. When I settle everything, I won't let you be unhappy because of me."
At this time, Shuo Ling walked to the bed, took off his clothes, and lay down. It was true that he had not had a good rest these days. Tomorrow was the day when the two armies went to war. If something unexpected happened in the middle, he would be fine. He energetically fought against the Nightmare Gu man.
Immediately, Shuo Ling closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, Wu Gu City.
As the eldest disciple of Gu King, Su Lai dealt with many troublemakers in the city during the few days that Hou Shi left.
Just after finishing the process, Su Laigang sat down, picked up the water bottle on the table, filled the cup, and then drank it all in one go.
As soon as he took a breath, someone came over in a hurry, "Senior Brother, it's not good, it's not good."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Su Lai wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and asked the younger brother who had just entered the school why he had so much trouble.
All I heard was that He Fei gasped and said, "Senior Brother, the door... the door..."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Su Lai helped him calm down and said.
Why bother to say immediately, "Senior Brother, those people are here again, and they are clamoring to come to learn from the master. There are more people than before, and now the master is not here, what should I do?"
"Don't panic. When a wave of people come, we will chase them away, and then we will chase them away again." Su Lai said and started to walk outside.
At this moment, the great elder's voice came from behind, "My nephew, please wait a moment."
"First elder, second elder." Su Lai turned around and said to him with his hands raised, his brows furrowed involuntarily, why are these two elders here together today.
Why bother? He bowed his hands and said, "First Elder, Second Elder, you came just in time. There are some arrogant people outside, taking advantage of Master's absence to openly cause trouble."
"Well, we heard what happened outside. The two of us came here precisely because of this matter. Young nephew, have you thought of anything?" At this time, the great elder Ren Qian said.
Su Lai stepped forward at this time, then raised his hands and said, "Two elders, not yet, these people are stubborn and ineffective..."
"If you ask me, these people just want to learn some witchcraft. Instead of letting them continue to make trouble like this, it is better to agree. This way, the gate will not be like a vegetable market every day. In the long run, the outside world will inevitably treat us as witchcraft. The city has something to say!" At this time, the second elder stepped forward and said loudly.
As soon as the second elder said these words, Su Lai could not help but frown slightly, and then said, "Second elder, this order was given by the master. Now the master is not around, how can we change it just as he says? Even if he wants to change it, he must inform him Master, please obtain the consent of Master’s family.”
"That's the second child. What my nephew said makes sense. Now that King Gu is not here, how can we make the decision at will? But my nephew has a better way." The elder Ren Qian sang and said next to him, and then He turned his head and looked at Su Lai and asked.
The second elder on the side also said at this time, "What the elder said is that as he gets older, he just wants to solve the problem quickly, so that's why..."
"It's okay. I know that the second elder is doing it for the good of our sect. Now that the two elders know this, they must have seen more of the world than this junior like me. I hope the two elders can think of a way to put these things together." Send them away." The first elder and the second elder sang in harmony as soon as they came out, which was too obvious. He immediately understood what these two people were planning, and then asked.
The Great Elder Ren Qian's face did not change after hearing this, and then he frowned slightly and said with a hint of melancholy, "Is this a way? I really couldn't think of it for a while. Those people who want to practice witchcraft are no longer It's been a day and a half. They must have planned it for a long time before they decided to come to the door together to make trouble. They must have thought about a protracted war and how to deal with it next. I don't think ordinary methods can make them leave willingly. .”
"Is it just consent?" As soon as the great elder finished speaking, He Bi said with a frown on the side.
Su Lai glanced at He Fei at this time, He Fei quickly lowered his head and said nothing. Then Su Lai said to the great elder, "The great elder's analysis is that these people want to fight a protracted war. Master knew about the existence of these people before." , Master has just been out for two days, and these people can no longer hide themselves, and they openly come here to cause trouble."
"Who says it's not the case? These people must have taken advantage of King Gu's absence to put pressure on us. However, the two of us are too old to get involved. However, my nephew is still young now, so he has to work for your master. Please abide by the laws of our sect." Great Elder Ren Qian said and sighed.
But as soon as he said this, he pushed it cleanly.
Then Su Lai raised his hands and looked at the two of them and said, "I will definitely not let down the trust of the two elders."
"Well, I'm getting older and my body can't bear it after being out for a while. Then I'll leave this matter to my nephew, and we'll go back first." Ren Qian said at this time, holding his waist with his hands. .
Su Lai's lips curled up slightly at this moment, and then he said, "Congratulations to the two elders."
After Ren Qian and the others walked away, the second elder looked back and said immediately, "Boss, this little bastard is quite clever. As soon as he said this, if we continue talking, we will inevitably be detained for violating the law." reputation, even if Zhan You becomes the Gu King in the future, our reputation will be damaged, this trick is cruel enough!"
As he said that, the second elder slammed his crutch on the road paved with bluestones. Suddenly, the bluestones cracked.
The Great Elder Ren Qian stopped at this moment, curled his lips slightly, and then said, "Why are you so anxious? No matter how smart that kid is, it doesn't matter. In that case, let's just waste it like this for now. If you really don't agree, Then we agreed to cooperate with Zhan You. Tomorrow is the day when Xiling will send troops to Dongling. I received a letter from Zhan You’s people early this morning!"
"What did the letter say?" After hearing this, the second elder quickly looked at Ren Qian and asked.
Ren Qian looked around at this time, and then whispered to the second elder, "The letter said that as long as Xiling conquers the border fortress, the King of Xiling will help him take Wugu Mountain in one fell swoop. Since we tested him just now and disagreed with the change of the law, Then don’t blame us, King Gu is not in Wu Gu City now, when the Xiling soldiers come, we can just watch from the sidelines and don’t help or hinder.”
"Well, this is a good idea. Everything is up to you." After hearing this, the second elder couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile.
Then the two of them walked towards their residence, talking and laughing.
Su Lai looked at the backs of the two elders leaving, and his eyes couldn't help but become dark. He always felt that there was something behind these elders, but he couldn't figure it out. However, the intention of these two people just now was obviously to take advantage of the master's absence. Let him comply with the conditions of those at the door.
When the master comes back in the future, the matter will be a foregone conclusion, and it is the decision made by the two elders. The two elders are highly respected in the master, so the master will not be able to say much at that time.
But in this case, some people will inevitably add fuel to the flames, saying that although the master is in the position of Gu King, he is ignored.
On the contrary, if the master really accuses the second elder, in the eyes of his fellow disciples, the two elders are also the master's elders. Wouldn't the master be in a dilemma
Just as he was thinking about it, someone else who was guarding the door ran over, walked up to Su Lai, and then said to Su Lai with an anxious look on his face, "Elder brother, those people are making too much noise, no matter how hard I try to persuade them, I don’t want to persuade you to leave, but please, Senior Brother, go out and take a look.”
"That's right, Senior Brother, now the two elders don't ask about this matter, what should we do?" He Fei also stepped forward at this time and said anxiously.
Su Lai walked to the table and sat down, then picked up the kettle, poured another glass of water, and started drinking.
Seeing this, He Bi could not help but walk a few steps quickly to him, snatch the water glass from Su Lai's hand, and immediately put it on the table, "Senior Brother, it's such a mess outside, you still have time to continue drinking tea here. "
"Why not?" Su Lai raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this time and said with a smile as he looked at He Bi.
