All sects work

Chapter 192 Xiao Guan
Half of the Xiao family army's infantry walked in front to clear the way, half of them covered the rear, and the cavalry roamed on both sides, responsible for vigilance, maintaining order and delivering messages.

In the darkness of the night, her figure was like a ghost, and no one noticed her as she turned around several times.

Guan Xiang chased after her excitedly, but couldn't see even her shadow. After searching for a few rounds, he returned to the carriage in disappointment, but was shocked to find that she was still sitting inside as if she had never left.

General Shao had already left, and only Shi Xuanying and Yan Cui were left in the car.

She spread out her fair palm, in which lay a bright red fruit, and said with a smile, "Come and have some fruit."

The spiritual energy in the spiritual sunflower seeds is too abundant for Guan Xiang, and this spiritual fruit is just right.

Yan Cui thought, Master is really generous! Maybe he can still have a bite of this soft rice.

Little did they know that Shi Xuanying had just made a surprising discovery and was in a very good mood.

"Thank you, sister." Guan Xiang took the fruit, sat down next to her, and a shy smile appeared on his little face.

Yan Cui felt his teeth ache. This kid was always looking at him with eyes that weren't eyes and nose that weren't a nose, but now he was being very polite towards Shi Xuanying.

He wanted to laugh at the child, but when he thought about how the child had lost his parents at an early age, and had struggled all by himself to finally make a name for himself, only to end up hanged in a fir forest, he fell silent.

He didn't know how much joy Guan Xiang had in his life, but he knew he had seen a lot of misery.

After all, you are borrowing someone else's mother's body, so you should be kind!

As he thought about this, he divided a few of the fruits he had just obtained and handed them to him: "Keep them first, don't eat too much at one time, otherwise it will be like the last time when you ate the spiritual sunflower seeds."

Guan Xiang keenly noticed that his gaze had softened, and he unconsciously retracted his sharp thorns and said honestly, "Okay."

He asked again: "Sister, you just went out to see the disaster victims. Why are you back so soon? Don't you need to take care of them?"

Ever since he followed Yan Cui to Pingcheng Pass, he seldom went out. Most of the time, the people in the city stayed at home because this would save them from consuming less food and water. Tonight was the first time he saw so many skinny people gathered together, and he was truly shocked.

"They just left the city. With this determination, they can hold on for a while." Shi Xuanying rubbed his head and said a few more words, "You may think, they are already in such a miserable situation. Since I have the ability, why don't I help them from the beginning?"

Seeing him nod, Shi Xuanying sighed, "Xiao Guan, giving someone a fish is only an emergency solution, not a long-term solution. To survive, people still have to rely on themselves..."

"I understand." Guan Xiang nodded in agreement, and then weakly offered his opinion, "Sister, can you please stop calling me Xiao Guan? It sounds like a prostitute."

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Shi Xuanying readily followed suit.

The expression on Guan Xiang's face is hard to describe.

Shi Xuanying asked tentatively, "Do you want to be called Xiangxiang?"

"Just take care of it." Guan Xiang said hurriedly.

Yan Cui couldn't say that he knew Shi Xuanying very well, but after some time of contact, he knew that given her personality, she probably wouldn't deliberately play tricks on him in her address. So he couldn't understand why she could always instantly choose the most unpleasant name when there were only two words in total?
Seeing her lips slightly raised, Yan Cui couldn't help but ask, "You are in a good mood."

"I think my luck has improved recently!" Shi Xuanying took out a fruit and bit into it, saying without avoiding Guan Xiang, "I dug up the spiritual fruit trees and planted them next to the spiritual veins in the Divine Mansion. I just found that they suddenly bore fruit! Tsk, isn't this a natural spiritual energy extraction tool!"

After the exhausted mineral vein absorbed all her spiritual energy, there were faint signs that the heart of the spiritual vein was about to be generated. This was the result of the right time, right place and right people. If she missed this opportunity, she might never encounter such a good thing again. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Shi Xuanying would not use force to dig out the spiritual stones for use.

It just so happened that the fruit forest could gently absorb spiritual energy and bear fruit. She could pick the fruit directly when she needed it. If she didn't pick it, the fruit would fall and feed back to the spiritual veins.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there seems to be no change when going in and out. In fact, it is ten thousand times stronger than the spiritual energy ball in the half-dead mineral vein!
The circulation of spiritual energy will be of great benefit to her and the entire mineral vein!
"People who love to fight have a greater chance of winning!" Shi Xuanying sipped the spiritual fruit happily, "A dead game of chess is now alive for me!" Yan Cui's eyes moved slightly, and he said uncertainly: "It seems to make sense?"

Guan Xiang didn't understand, but he listened very carefully and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that Master Xuanying was eating with relish, he couldn't help but take a bite of the fruit. His toes instantly curled up from the sourness, but the abundant spiritual energy flowing through his meridians was extremely comfortable.

Midday on the moon.

The fleeing team stopped to rest in the middle of the night.

The three chose to walk, leaving the carriage for the weak to rest.

Master Xuanying pulled piles of green grass from the Purple Mansion Space to feed the horses and mules.

Guan Xiang saw that many people were staring at the green grass eagerly, wishing they could push aside the mules and horses and rush up to eat it themselves. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Almost all the hardships he had endured growing up were due to martial arts training. He thought that these days with Yan Cui were already very hard, but at this moment he suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous.

After resting for about half an hour, they set off again.

Shi Xuanying said that she could provide enough water, so General Shao still traveled at the originally planned pace, otherwise it would be difficult to increase the speed after the initial excitement.

"Senior said that now that we have chosen the route, what should we do next?" General Shao came over with a map.

Seeing that he was about to open the map, Shi Xuanying raised her hand to stop him: "There is almost no one living in the area of ​​hundreds of miles. You should follow the route you are familiar with. When you get close to the former site of the Kingdom of Xiao Chen, I will lead the way to avoid the crowds."

"I understand." said General Shao.

He is familiar with the roads here and can avoid risks and find a place to camp easily. It is the best choice to have him lead the way. Once they reach the south, there will be tens of thousands of them, and soldiers in armor. Once their tracks are revealed, they will be in trouble, so they must rely on the ability of the grandmaster to avoid being seen.

"General Shao." Shi Xuanying asked casually, "Do you plan to join General Xiao after you get to the south?"

General Shao was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "There are many mountains in the south. Let's just find a mountain to hide in first."

"You're afraid of getting her into trouble." Shi Xuanying smiled and shook her head, "General Shao is in the middle of the situation and can't see the reality clearly."

General Shao looked over and waited for the next words.

"You are not only the Northwest Army, but also the Xiao Family Army." Shi Xuanying emphasized word by word.

General Shao was instantly enlightened.

Yes! They are still Xiao's army. Emperor Qu is wary of Xiao's army, and he is also wary of Xiao Hongfan!

Xiao's army was deserting their posts, so Xiao Hongfan would be implicated regardless of whether she was involved or not. Moreover, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Once the fact that she had someone deliver water to her was exposed, it would be another crime.

Yan Cui noticed that Shi Xuanying touched her brow and had a feeling that she was going to do something.

Sure enough, the next moment she said, "You are trapped in Pingcheng Pass and may not know the situation in the southwest. Xiao Hongfan was left alone in the post station at first, and then someone assassinated the general of Xu State, and the situation in the southwest suddenly changed. Only then did she get some military power. Not to mention how difficult the war was, recently, the civil and military officials forced the emperor to write an edict of guilt, and the court was in a big commotion. She has received several reprimands and calls for war. At this critical juncture, she dared to send you water. You should know what she is thinking. Since you want to hide, I have a great place."

General Shao looked up suddenly and met a pair of curved eyes.

"Behind Linxi County, across the mountains, there is a basin with lush grass and water. I have opened up that area. Let alone a mere 30,000 people, even 300,000 people would be more than enough to hide."
