All sects work

Chapter 189 Possessing unique skills
Yan Cui could feel that there were quite a few cultivators in this team, and some of them might even have storage bags on them.

However, according to the classification of true cultivators, high-level cultivators have not even established their foundation. In addition, their spiritual energy is exhausted, and the use of storage bags is very costly, and the things that can be transported are also limited.

As Yan Cui expected, the two leaders each took out a brocade bag, chanted a spell, and nearly ten thousand jars of water appeared on the open space in front of them.

All the water combined cannot save the drought, but it may allow them to get out of the disaster area alive.

——Xiao Hongfan was persuading the Northwest Army to give up defending the city.

Yan Cui saw General Shao's expression change, and he stepped down from the tower and walked to his side: "General Xiao, how did you get to know so many monks?"

"It's Prince Yu's man." General Shao knew that the cultivators who could use the storage bag were at least high-level.

Xiao Hongfan only said in the letter that he asked for help from King Yu's caravan, but he never thought that it would be such a master! However, thinking about it again, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be able to come and go freely in natural disasters and man-made disasters.

General Shao knew that many of Prince Yu's properties belonged to Princess Yu. He also heard that Princess Yu was a very stingy person and would not help her for free. Xiao Hongfan must have paid a heavy price for this.

"Prince Yu's men?" Yan Cui looked puzzled. "Does Prince Yu have so many high-level cultivators under his command?"

There was no trace of Prince Yu in Xiao Hongfan's dream, and Yan Cui suspected that he might have died when the Qu Kingdom was defeated.

"I don't know either. I guess it should be the talent recruited by Princess Yu." General Shao said.

Yan Cui thought of Princess Yu who was hanged in the talisman formation at the end, and asked, "I see that everyone present is a martial artist. Does Princess Yu have any mystic practitioners under her command?"

General Shao was slightly surprised: "You yourself are a mystic, don't you know that?"

According to Chen Jie's classification, Yan Cui is definitely a martial artist. Perhaps it is because he has been casting spells since arriving at Pingcheng Pass that he was mistaken for a mystic.

"I don't know." He said confidently.

General Shao was full of doubts, but he still explained: "There are not many mid-level and above Xuanshu practitioners, so they generally don't accept this kind of employment."

Yan Cui thought to himself, it seems that they all underestimated Qu Shan's status and weight in the world.

Princess Yu could command so many martial artists, yet her killing array was still able to successfully kill four of the Seven Stars. She is no ordinary person.

Yan Cui looked up at the few stars in the sky, wondering if he could kill Qu Shan in advance.

What if one of the conditions for clearing Xiao Hongfan's obsession is that Qu Shan must die in her hands? Then... can she incite Xiao Hongfan to get rid of him in advance?
Shan Chenjie may be using various methods to slow down the pace, using the method of boiling a frog in warm water to make them addicted, forcing them to develop more ties, and finally be assimilated willingly.

Knowing this but being unable to do anything about it is truly tormenting.

"General Shao." The leader of the convoy glanced at Yan Cui and continued, "The goods have been delivered. We will take our leave now!"

"Please stay!" General Shao said hurriedly, "I wonder if you can do another business on your way back? My family has a little money, and I am willing to spend it to ask you to escort the people in the city out."

The leader hesitated for a moment, then refused directly: "General, it's not that we don't want to, but we really can't do it. This trip is very expensive. If we are delayed for a long time on the road, our spiritual energy will be exhausted, and we will not be able to withstand this natural disaster. Therefore, the return journey will take thousands of miles a day, and ordinary people can't keep up."

Yan Cui took another look at the densely packed water tanks on the ground, knowing that there definitely wouldn't be so many of them in the real timeline.

Ordinary things and money can buy the martial artists' service, but they cannot buy their full spiritual energy to transport supplies.

The reward that could attract such desperate cultivators must be cultivation resources! Yan Cui knew that Master Xuanying had given Xiao Hongfan a lot of spiritual balls...

"How many days will this water last?" Yan Cui asked. General Shao roughly estimated, "If we save it, it will last for six or seven days."

Combined with the water from Hongliu Lake and the three wells, it should be enough for Xiao's army to lead the people of Pingchengguan out of the disaster area.

In the real timeline, the Xiao family army did not leave, most likely not because they were blindly loyal, but because they were unwilling to abandon the people in the city. The remaining water and food in their hands at the time were not enough for everyone to leave the disaster area.

Yan Cui did not try to persuade them, because if things really developed like this, the Xiao family army would definitely take everyone to join Xiao Hongfan, and Shi Xuanying's plan would fail...

"Heh." Yan Cui suddenly smiled, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

General Shao was puzzled by his laughter and quickly counted on his fingers again: "I'm not wrong, then why is she laughing?"

Yan Cui was not laughing at General Shao, but at Master Xuan Ying.

If she knew that the spiritual balls she gave out were used by Xiao Hongfan as rewards in exchange for the monks providing more water and food to the Northwest Army, I wonder what her expression would be?
Yan Cui really wanted to persuade General Shao! Unfortunately, for the sake of the overall situation, he could not persuade them, and he had to find a way to keep them at the critical moment...

However, she couldn't stay for long. If Shi Xuanying didn't come, her plan would be doomed to fail.

Tell her to call it the “2nd or 3rd” today and the “5th or 6th” tomorrow. She deserves it!
"You seem very happy."

When Yan Cui entered the room, he saw Guan Xiang sitting cross-legged on the couch in front of the door with his arms folded, his brows knitted together.

"They said you were waiting for your lover." Guan Xiang raised his eyes and glared at him, "I won't allow it!"

Yan Cui held his forehead with his hand: "Do you believe whatever they say?"

Guan Xiang looked at him suspiciously, like an evil mother-in-law examining her daughter-in-law's chastity: "Who are you waiting for?"

Yan Cui thought for a moment and said, "Waiting for someone with special skills."

Guan Xiang subconsciously asked: "What special skill?"

Yan Cui: "You're shooting yourself in the foot."

Guan Xiang had an expression that said, "I suspect you are making fun of me, and I have evidence."

"Really." Yan Cui said seriously.

Shi Xuanying is very good at shooting herself in the foot, as if it is a natural skill she has.

……

"I felt something was going to happen today, and sure enough..." Shi Xuanying got Bai Xuexing's divination result and immediately said, "I'm going to be away for a few days, you guys take care of this place first."

"You can leave, and I can take care of the trivial matters of the two counties. I only have one request." Bai Xuexing said word by word, "Give them enough tasks, preferably so that they can't even take a break!"

They, of course, refer to Dongfang Zhentian and Jiang Chuixing.

Whenever these two had time to drink tea, they would come over to annoy him. Bai Xuexing didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if they were so idle that they grew hair all over their bodies!
"Your suggestion is very good." Shi Xuanying gave him an approving look, "Don't worry!"

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper, sat down at the stone table in the yard, and wrote two thick stacks of letters quickly, then made a gesture and threw them into the two people's room.

She dropped her pen and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands. "You are different from them. You are a person with a lively mind. I will not write any more tasks for you. I believe you can take good care of the two counties. I have left a letter to County Magistrate Cao and Chief Clerk Liu. If there is anything I cannot decide, I will come to you."
