Chitose words

Chapter 473
From the time when Princess Tianchen comforted the anxious soldiers like a big wolf and told everyone the truth about the horrific Langya Pass bloody case, to the time when the Langya Pass generals and beacon guards were driven out of the lobby like chickens by her to do their respective duties, Young Hero Ling had a frown on his face the whole time.

It looks like it can pinch a fly to death.

After there was no third person in the hall and there would be absolutely no damage to the majesty of Princess Tianchen, the young Saint King master finally spoke slowly.

It’s just that our Young Master Ling’s tone isn’t that nice.

"You went deep into the north alone and sneaked into the Wangshengtai in the heart of the Jiji tribe. You were almost caught by the Jiji tribe's wolf riders. Xie Zhao, do you know your physical condition?"

During this period of time, which was neither long nor short, Ling Huo stayed in Langya Pass and was really anxious!
During this trip to Zhaoge, they seemed to have some kind of conflict. First, Han Changsheng, for some reason, left without saying goodbye and went "home".

Then, Xie Zhao was ordered to rush to the front line of Langya Pass due to the war between the North and the South.

Later, Bo Xi said goodbye to them and left, either to avoid suspicion or because he had other important matters to attend to.

Until this time, Xie Zhao dragged his seemingly intact body, which was actually in pieces and leaking everywhere, and personally led the Fenghuo Guard deep into the hinterland behind the Yuwen army.
If you think about it, this is the first time that the three of them have been separated for such a long time since they met.

And it happened at such a dangerous and difficult time!
Ling Huo is a mature man with a lot of thoughts, so how could he not be worried?

After seeing Xie Zhao return safely, he was able to hold on for so long before having an attack, which was entirely due to his overall view.

He was forced to suppress his volcanic temper and give a little "face" to Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was known as the "backbone of the Southern Dynasty."

After all, with the war approaching, how could the glorious "Thousand-Year-Old Sword Immortal" of the dynasty emerge in front of the generals and soldiers of Langya Pass?
By this time when everyone had left, Ling Huo no longer had any concerns.

Seeing his expression, Xie Zhao couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But even if it happens again, she will still do the same.

"Young Master Ling, you have worked hard during this period. I just heard from Peng Xiao that you have taught all the defensive formations of Laojun Mountain to the soldiers."

Ling Huo frowned, looked at Xie Zhao who was trying to please him with a smile, and said coldly:

"They only have a few that they can use, not all of them. Don't try to fool me with sweet talk, it's useless. Sword Immortal, you should save these nice words to coax Han Changsheng."

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it any longer, Xie Zhao uttered a sigh and said helplessly:
"Ling Huo, actually when I made the decision and ordered Fenghuowei to return to the camp first, I knew that this sudden change of plan would make you worried, but there is really nothing we can do about it.

There is no trivial matter in the war between two dynasties, and any doubtful point is worth careful investigation.

Soldiers should not shed blood in vain to defend their own territory, and then leave behind the infamy of killing the people of other countries and provoking war after their death on the battlefield. "

Her eyes were clear and she looked straight into Ling Huo's eyes.

The look was not aggressive, but it had an irresistible power.

Xie Zhao said slowly: "I have the obligation and necessity to return the truth to the soldiers who have been stationed at Langya Pass for many years, and also to the people of Handan in the Northern Dynasty."

Wars can be fought and blood can be shed, but the situation cannot be unclear or ambiguous.

Ling Huo opened his mouth silently.

He wanted to say, "Does this burden have to be borne only by you? Your body is in such a state that it is difficult to put back together. Others do not know the severity of your condition, but don't you know the severity of your condition yourself?"

But when the words came to his lips and reason returned to his head, he was speechless.

Because Ling Huo knew that when Xie Zhao and a small team of beacon guards were in the territory of the Yuwen tribe in Handong of the Northern Dynasty and suddenly heard that there was something fishy about the war, it seemed that the only person who was alert enough, strong enough, and experienced enough to go deep into the Jiji tribe and secretly find out the truth at that time was her, Xie Zhao.

Although the beacon guards were best at diving, gathering intelligence, and following orders, it was beyond the capabilities of the beacon guards to combine the myriad objective facts gathered from their gathering to analyze whether the intelligence information was true or false, or how much was true and how much was false, and thus judge and restore the true truth of the incident.

Not to mention these warriors, even the civil officials in the court who are good at scheming and strategy may not be able to dig out the clues so accurately and precisely.

However, the “Thousand-Year-Old Sword Immortal” who was born with a keen mind, familiar with people’s hearts, and proficient in the Great Brahma Sound Technique and Small Brahma Sound Technique of the Shentai Palace can do it.

So, as expected, Xie Zhao went to the registration department without any intention of retreating.

Although he was extremely worried during those days when Xie Zhao's whereabouts were unknown and there was no news, but after Ling Huo figured it out, he no longer had any reason to continue blaming Xie Zhao for his rash behavior.

He was silent for a long time, and finally did not continue to dwell on the matter, but just said softly:

"Xie Zhao, according to your instructions, I have received the letter from the Heavenly Bird sent by the Twelve Blades at Langya Pass for you these days.

Sect Leader Ou was entrusted by you to protect the southwestern reinforcements all the way north. Although they encountered several ambushes and setbacks along the way, under the escort of the "Twelve Blades", the generals of the southwestern reinforcements are currently safe.

I believe that in two days, the reinforcements from the southwest will be able to successfully join forces with the defenders of Langya Pass in the northern border."

When Xie Zhao heard this, a warm smile flashed in his eyes.

She nodded slightly and whispered with a smile:
"Very good, Shisan Niang has always kept her promises. She will definitely do her best to fulfill what she promised.

Now that I have asked for help from Shisan Niang, I am no longer worried about the safety of the reinforcements from the southwest."

After all, unless the seven top masters of the time take action, ordinary masters will never be able to gain any advantage from the "Twelve Blades" Ou Shisan Niang.

Xie Zhao looked out the window at the faint but warm sunlight, and smiled softly:
"I am the same. I have lived a foolish life on the grassland. Now, if we calculate the time and their speed, they will arrive in two days."

So good.

At least by then, even if the war breaks out again, the North has strong soldiers and sufficient food and grass, so it won't be as difficult as the previous few months.

Ling Huo looked back at her quietly and said, "Xie Zhao, what I meant to tell you is that your friends are willing to do their best to help you, and hope that you can live an easier life."

Of course, that includes him.

Xie Zhao was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter.

Seeing Ling Huo's surprised and serious expression, he nodded seriously and said:

"Of course. You are all loyal people, and Xie Zhao is very grateful."

She rarely explained seriously.

“It’s just that sometimes things hit you in the face and time is of the essence, so you have no choice but to take the risk.

I promise, if you were here, I would never act rashly, try to be a hero, or put myself in danger.

Don't worry, I understand that I have multiple roles and what they mean to the imperial court and the martial arts world, and I will not ignore the overall situation."

Ling Huo looked at her in silence for a long time.

Seeing that she looked calm and not perfunctory, he turned away and stopped worrying.

Xie Zhao shook his head with amusement and said:
"I'm going to go to General Yuan and General Peng. I have something to tell them. See you later."
