Chapter 237: Destroying the Heaven (9)

The river is wide and the stars are low.

The rustling autumn wind dispersed the tiny starlight, and among the sparkling waves of the river, countless figures passed silently across the bridge.

A slender girl in black stood in the reed marsh and watched the army cross the Lanjiang River. She then left quietly, like a low-flying swallow, lightly passing through the woods, and finally disappeared into the Red Blood Army camp.

"Master, the 140,000 troops of Xu State have crossed the river." The girl in black bowed and reported.

Shi Xuanying said: "Continue to monitor, and report immediately if a war breaks out."

"Yes!"

After the girl left, Dongfang Zhentian couldn't help but say, "The few gophers that Lao Yan caught are quite useful."

This small group consists of four men and one woman, sworn brothers (sisters), and are known to the outside world as the "Five Tigers". However, because the five of them are good at escaping through the earth and hiding, and like to stick together to fight against one with more, other practitioners prefer to call them the "Five Rats".

The five men had come to Tao County government office to steal spiritual fruits, but were caught by Yan Cui and hung on a tree. Later, they were branded as slaves by Master Xuan Ying. Now it is just right for them to be sent into the army as outposts and spies.

"Isn't it time to use those women you recruited and trained before? Most of them are at the second level, which is already considered a master among ordinary people and can go to the battlefield." Yan Cui asked.

"Yeah." Shi Xuanying originally wanted to wait for them to improve a little more, but as the situation changed rapidly, she was afraid that she could not wait any longer.

Dongfang Zhentian opened his mouth wide and yawned, and Jiang Chuixing and Guan Xiang were infected and opened their mouths as well.

"And these three." Yan Cui looked at the three little kids in the room.

The three of them were interrupted in the middle of yawning, and looked over with their mouths open and confused faces.

"It's time for the two killer stars and the guardian star to go to the battlefield." Shi Xuanying thought for a moment, "Xingxing and Tiantian will lead a vanguard army composed of martial artists, and Xiaoguan will join the new army. Do you three have any objections?"

No one in the room thought there was anything wrong with letting a child under ten years old go to the battlefield. Guan Xiang was extremely talented. After marrow cleansing, under the guidance and instruction of Yan Cui, he had now reached the fifth level and was a mid-level warrior. If he could have an unlimited supply of spiritual energy, he could build a foundation within two years.

"no!"

The three of them said in unison.

After losing his parents, Guan Xiang quickly lost his innocence and transformed from a child who was dependent on his mother into a mid-level martial artist.

Cong Yannan did not raise Guan Xiang to be a rich young master who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Since he was a child, he had seen the real world of "wine and meat in the rich houses, and frozen corpses on the streets". Later, he followed Yan Cui to the northwest and saw with his own eyes the miserable situation of the soldiers and civilians abandoned by Emperor Qu. After arriving in the southwest, he also saw the changes in Tao County.

Guan Xiang fell into deep confusion and bewilderment. Deep down in his heart, he felt that he should do something, but he had no direction.

It was not until the evening when the soldiers shouted "Great Harmony in the World" that the vague goal suddenly became clear.

——He should fight for the hope in the eyes of the people of the world!

"Let's all go back and rest." Yan Cui looked at the light burning in Guan Xiang's eyes and showed a trace of compassion.

"it is good!"

Yan Cui lowered his eyes slightly and restrained his gaze.

As his assimilation deepened, the kinship bond between him and Guan Xiang grew stronger. The image of the young Guan Xiang being hanged in the killing array would often pop up out of nowhere and disturb his mood.

Hearing the footsteps fade away, Yan Cui sighed slowly, reached out to open the account book in front of him, and saw Shi Xuanying who had no sense of existence at all from the corner of his eye: "Why didn't you leave?"

"I'll sit here for a while." Shi Xuanying closed her eyes and focused her consciousness on her mind palace.

Unlike the war-torn outside world, the Zifu space was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. A few small red flowers bloomed on the green meadow. Although they were very small flowers, they could be seen at a glance. On the contrary, the small courtyard that was pried from Lu Xi and placed in the vast space was inconspicuous at all.

"There are more flowers..." Shi Xuanying's consciousness passed over the flowers and found nothing unusual. However, the absence of abnormality was the biggest abnormality.

The Purple Palace Space is a byproduct of the spiritual consciousness of a powerful cultivator, and everything in it is born from the thought of the soul. At the beginning, Yan Cui said that her forehead was covered with green grass, and it might look better with a little red, so she thought she could give it a try, so a red flower grew in the meadow, but the extra things that appeared later were not her own will.

Some foreign things seemed to have grown naturally in her divine palace...

The red blood flag hung quietly in the air, the power attached to it becoming more and more powerful, and its presence becoming less and less.

Shi Xuanying probed over with her spiritual sense and was shocked to find that her spiritual sense could actually attach to the Red Blood Flag and could even clearly feel the existence of remnant thoughts!
Shi Xuanying originally wanted to separate the residual thoughts and the power of rules on the Red Blood Flag, but not only did she have no clue, but her consciousness and the power of rules began to merge with each other!

Or it would be more accurate to say that they devour each other.

"Is the way of heaven really mysterious and untouchable?" Shi Xuanying's eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

jingle--

The crisp and pleasant sound of wind chimes is like melodious music.

Shi Xuanying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes.

The dream catcher that she was supposed to have hidden in her storage bag was now floating in front of her, emitting a faint blue light.

She and Yan Cui glanced at each other quickly and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

This dream catcher bell is connected to Xiao Hongfan's dream. The fact that it suddenly makes a sound indicates that Xiao Hongfan is very likely to have started having a "precognitive dream" again.

This is undoubtedly the best channel to find out the truth.

"Let's go without further ado!" Shi Xuanying made some hand gestures and pulled Yan Cui into a dream.

The blurred scenery gradually converged into a small courtyard planted with osmanthus trees, with a woman sitting on each side of a wooden square table in the courtyard.

"General Xiao, this is my family's secret technique."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanying and Yan Cui were both cheered up.

The woman's voice sounded very familiar. They changed direction and saw a familiar face.

It's the queen!
At this moment, she was wearing a simple cloth dress, a light blue headscarf wrapped around her black hair, and she was dressed like a peasant woman, but her hands were slender and her fingers were as delicate as peeling onion roots, and it was obvious that she had never done any rough work.

Shi Xuanying remembered that after Chen Xuan became emperor, he often took the empress to farm in the palace, so her dress was not strange.

"Why did Your Majesty give this to me?" Xiao Hongfan looked confused.

The queen's eyes fell on the eunuchs on both sides of the gate. She was silent for a long time before she said, "Our Xie family was massacred on the day Qu's army entered the city. Only my father and I survived by chance. It's a pity that we don't have the talent to practice the mysterious arts. It's unfair for this thing to be left in my hands and covered in dust."

There was a gleam in the queen's eyes as her slender white fingers stroked the rosewood box.

Xiao Hongfan said: "I am also a remnant of the Qu Kingdom."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator. First, you are not the culprit who ordered the raid on the Xie family, and second, you have never used a sword against my Xie family. I hate everyone in the world." The queen pushed the rosewood box in front of Xiao Hongfan, and her calm tone seemed to suppress something. "Believe me, General Xiao, one day you will be able to use it."

Shi Xuanying still remembers that the queen who now said "I hate everyone in the world" eventually hanged herself outside a tall building, saying that she wanted to watch the world fall apart with her own eyes.

Yan Cui stretched out his hand, but the shadow passed through the rosewood box and could not be touched.

"Let me try!" Shi Xuanying inexplicably felt that she could open the box.
