All sects work

Chapter 239: Destroying the Heaven (11)

"Secret art of guarding the soul..."

Lines of words flashed through his mind. Xiao Hongfan raised his head, stunned for a moment, suddenly threw off the quilt, got out of bed, walked quickly to the table and lit the oil lamp.

However, after picking up the pen, I could only think of the four words "secret art of guarding the soul".

Just as she put down her pen, filled with regret, the words in her mind popped up again. After trying several times, Xiao Hongfan was sure that there was some kind of forbidden spell on the secret technique, which prevented the viewer from spreading it a second time.

"Hongfan, are you okay?"

Hearing that familiar voice calling "Hongfan" again, Xiao Hongfan looked strange. She had known for a long time that Cong Yannan's body was occupied by another soul. There was no similarity between the two except for their appearance. But recently, for some reason, she always felt that the person was becoming more and more like the real Cong Yannan...

Xiao Hongfan lifted the door curtain and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the night. He became alert: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yan Cui said calmly, "I noticed that you seemed to be very worried in the evening."

She was always worried, so why did the other person suddenly come to her in the middle of the night to show concern for her? Xiao Hongfan looked at the person opposite him suspiciously.

"I'm relieved that you're okay."

Yan Cui turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard Xiao Hongfan say, "You came into my dream."

Her tone was affirmative, not questioning.

"Hmm?" Yan Cui turned around, looking puzzled, "What do you mean?"

When the truth was guessed, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he turned around and walked in front of her with a worried look on his face, and asked with concern: "Did something happen?"

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Hongfan's doubts were slightly reduced: "It's okay, I probably just fell asleep."

"If you have any problems, don't handle it alone." Yan Cui looked at her carefully for a few times, as if to confirm that she was fine before continuing, "We have to go out to fight tomorrow, and you may not have time to rest properly in the next few days. You should get some more sleep."

Xiao Hongfan nodded.

Yan walked back slowly in the night.

Shi Xuanying fell asleep, and he had to come over to confirm whether the change in the dream had any adverse effects on Xiao Hongfan. He didn't expect Xiao Hongfan to be so perceptive. He didn't have superb acting skills, and he could temporarily fool the slightly abrupt actions, but he just took advantage of the convenience of assimilation.

In the distance there were the sounds of patrols marching about in the camp, and nearby there were the faint sounds of burning torches.

Yan Cui was in a daze for a moment, then turned and walked into the tent on the other side.

Inside the tent, Jiang Chuixing heard footsteps and opened his eyes alertly. He saw a woman in white coming in and sitting on the edge of Guan Xiang's bed, and she reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt.

The light was dim, but it did not affect Jiang Chuixing's vision. He saw the tenderness in the eyes of the woman in white, his brows twisted into a knot, and he hugged himself silently.

What a strange sword!

Although Yan Cui had changed his appearance before, his expression and behavior were still the same, and Jiang Chuixing had never been confused. However, the woman sitting on the edge of Guan Xiang's bed and tucking in the quilt at this moment was clearly another person.

After Yan Cui finished looking at Guan Xiang, he turned his head and suddenly saw a figure and was startled.

On the bed opposite, a short and stocky figure was sitting cross-legged in the dark with his arms folded, staring at him with a look of deep hatred.

"I've been watching you for a long time." Jiang Chuixing said faintly, "Your spiritual consciousness and five senses have become dull."

Yan Cui didn't even notice the movement behind him and looked frightened!
This assimilation is simply terrible!
Yan Cui lowered his eyelids slightly.

Jiang Chuixing tilted his head, looking inquiringly, trying to see the emotions in his eyes: "Do you still remember who you are?"

"Feast destroyed."

Jiang Chuixing nodded: "It's good that you remember! Uncle Shi said that if you don't remember who you are, let me remind her to send you out."

Yan Cui frowned slightly: "When did it happen?"

"After sending Zhuang Qiqi out."

"Yeah." Yan Cui nodded, turned around and went out, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Chuixing lay back down, but the feeling of being the only one awake while everyone else was drunk made him unable to sleep, so he simply sat up again, took out a spirit stone and began to practice. He now knew all the terrible things about the "Su Dust Mustard", and also knew that cultivation would probably have no effect on breaking the dust mustard, but now only practice could relieve his anxiety.

The sky was pale.

Several figures landed in front of the camp, holding tokens to pass through, and ran all the way to the main tent.

"Please inform me..."

The five tigers were talking halfway when they saw the tent opened and a woman in white walked out. The five of them recalled what happened in Tao County and shuddered. They all saluted respectfully and said, "From the military advisor!"

Yan Cui was a legal advisor in Tao County, but here he was a military advisor.

"The master is next door, follow me." Yan Cui said.

When Shi Xuanying heard the noise, she stood up, put on a cloak, and walked out from behind the screen.

When they arrived at the door and were about to speak, they heard a slightly hoarse female voice from inside: "Come in."

Shi Xuanying picked up the teapot to pour water, but found it was empty, so she had to put it back.

When Yan Cui saw this, he picked up the teapot from the stove and added water.

"My Lord, at three quarters past the hour of Yin, the army of the State of Xu launched a surprise attack on Jincheng."

No one answered.

The Five Tigers quietly raised their eyes and saw the woman sitting on the main seat, who was dressed casually and had disheveled hair, so they quickly lowered their gazes.

Shi Xuanying couldn't afford to waste even a bit of her spiritual energy now, so she could only wait for the tea to cool down naturally.

……

The sound of bronze drums rang out rapidly.

The sleeping camp immediately woke up, and the soldiers who were ready for battle quickly got ready.

"Hey, do you know what 'Great Harmony in the World' means?" A young man yawned, put on his armor quickly, and winked at the middle-aged man next to him with a smug look.

"What do you mean?"

"I asked the chief, and he said that everyone will be able to live a good life in the future!" The young man's face was full of longing.

The honest middle-aged man said, "Life is not bad now."

"What do you know!" another young man sneered, "If you live well in your own life but not well outside, people will come to rob you. It's called 'having a wall of sin'."

"It is a crime to possess a treasure!" the young man corrected.

"Almost! Almost!"

A group of people came out of the tent and jogged all the way to the gathering place.

The generals went to the shogunate to discuss the layout based on the information provided by the spies.

Shi Xuanying did not intend to get involved in the battlefield between Xu and Qu's armies, but he had to take advantage of the battle between the two armies to fish in troubled waters, profit from it, and improve his strength as soon as possible.

"Qu County is close to us, and the Qu Army is weakly defended. There is also a Sakura Valley between it and Jincheng, so there will be no conflict with the two armies." Xiao Hongfan was a general of the Qu Army and was familiar with the defense of the Southwest Army. "I sent someone to investigate yesterday, and Qu County has not adjusted its defense."

"Okay, you decide." Shi Xuanying took a sip of tea, "I have another army here, not many in number, so we'll use them this time."

Everyone followed her gaze and looked at the two children sitting at the last seat, with different expressions on their faces.

As soon as the Xiao family army and the Southwest Army arrived, they were arranged to Xin County. They had only vaguely heard that the people under the lord's command were either women or children, but they were all strong. Now, seeing two little children with baby fat with their own eyes, they were still shocked.

Dongfang Zhentian pulled Jiang Chuixing up and bowed to everyone: "I am General Dongsi."

Jiang Chuixing: "I am General Jiang San."
