I have a magical tree

Chen Xiao briefly bandaged Nangong Nei and stuffed a pill into Nangong Nei's mouth.

Then he turned to look at Xu Dao, "You are such a smart boy, you actually dare to draw a sword against a second-grade grandmaster! I suddenly realized that I like you a little! From now on, you will be my friend, Chen Xiao!"

Xu Dao smiled awkwardly, "My lord, you are so complimentary!"

"You two were drinking and you didn't even call me?" Chen Xiao looked at Nangong again with an unhappy look on his face.

Nangong was speechless, "I'm here to discuss business with him, why are you joining in the fun!"

"What does it have to do with you talking about yours and me drinking mine? Well... thirty-year-old peach blossom wine?" Chen Xiao moved his nose and looked even worse.

"There's more than half of the wine left in the jar!" Xu Dao also felt a little regretful.

"You didn't finish your drink and you got hit?" Chen Xiao was stunned.

Nangong Nei nodded.

Chen Xiao suddenly looked at Yan Zhen with murderous eyes, and almost blurted out "Dad, kill him!", but in the end he was forced to hold him down.

It's not like he didn't know that it was the governor's intention to keep Yan Zhen alive, otherwise killing Yan Zhen would be the best choice.

After all, there is really something to investigate about Yan Chengdao!

But the old servant in gray clothes is here, and now even his father can't do anything.

The old man in gray seemed to feel his gaze and turned back to smile at him. Chen Xiao could only smile awkwardly.

"Mom, don't look at me!" Chen Xiao lowered his head and muttered.

Xu Dao was surprised that the old man in gray was also a grandmaster, so this time Sima Zongheng and his party actually had three grandmasters.

"Who is the second grade?" He asked a little uncertainly.

Chen Xiao nodded, "Almost four hundred years old, second grade, as strong as an old monster!"

Xu Dao could tell that Chen Xiao was very afraid of the old man in gray clothes, but he didn't know why. It is said that Chen Xiao's father is at the first level. With such a father, why are you afraid of this old guy?

Seeing Xu Dao's confused eyes, Chen Xiao sighed, "When I was young, my father and the county governor were out on business, so I asked him to look after me! This old guy is very shady! I suffered a lot at his hands!"

"Master Xiao, you can't speak ill of people behind their backs!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was frightened and said, "Ah...ah...Mr. Yan!"

However, Mr. Yan did not look at him. Instead, he looked at Xu Dao, looked up and down, and praised: "What a young man. He is so talented and rare in the world. A master will definitely take it. He is expected to be a top grader!"

Several people immediately looked at each other, and Chen Xiao was even more in disbelief, "Mr. Yan, you... are exaggerating! You didn't think so highly of me back then!"

Mr. Yan shook his head, "Because you are really not as talented as him!"

Chen Xiao: "..."

Nangong Nei spoke to save the situation, "What did Yan Zhen say?"

Yan Zhen had just turned around and left, but he did not leave Fucheng directly.

"What else can I say? The reason has been told to him. Whether he believes it or not is beyond our control. Lord Nangong asked this, but he is worried?" Mr. Yan looked at Nangong with a smile.

Nangong Nei shook his head, "He came up without saying a word and punched me first. I will have to pay him back in the future for the revenge of this punch!"

"You are so ambitious. No wonder you can reach the second level faster than Master Xiao."

Chen Xiao's face looks ugly again, his talent is not as good as Xu Dao, and his progress is not as good as Nangong's. Is he the worst among the co-authors?

"Do you have any idea of ​​going to the county to make a living?" Mr. Yan asked Xu again.

Xu Dao saluted, but shook his head, "Not yet, but I will definitely go in the future!"

Mr. Yan nodded, "Since I already have my own ideas, I won't say anything more. However, I still have something to tell you. While you are young, you must go out as much as possible. The farther you go, the better. Go and see the world. When people are strong, they see different things than when they are weak!"

"Young man, learn from me!" Xu Dao bowed and saluted. It can be seen that the old man's words are really for his own good.

"Okay, the Lord's side should be over, I'll go over and have a look!" Mr. Yan said, then looked at Chen Lifu, "Grand Governor, together?"

Chen Lifu glanced here, his eyes stayed on Xu Dao for a moment, and nodded, "You are a good boy. When you get to the county town in the future, you can come to me!"

After saying that, Chen Lifu left with Mr. Yan.

There were only three people left at the scene, and all three of them looked at each other.

When Xu Dao and Nangong Nei's eyes met, they both couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Chen Xiao was confused.

"It's so rare that he and I have such a tacit understanding!" Nangong Nei really found it interesting. He and Xu Dao had no communication at that time, but the two made their choices almost at the same time, trying every means to delay time.

In fact, the moment Yan Zhen appeared, the two of them knew that they could not defeat him and that they would definitely die if they really wanted to fight head-on. But they all understand that as long as they find a way to survive the first and most dangerous period, they will not die!

With such tacit understanding and tacit cooperation, no matter who of the two leaves or runs away first, the remaining person will become very dangerous. Because that is not delaying time, but helping Yan Zhen make a choice!

This is a subtle psychological game. Although it may not be very clever, it is practical enough!

However, the reason why Nangong Nei chose this way was because he was sure that he would survive two punches from Yan Zhen, while the reason why Xu Dao chose this way was because he was sure he could escape from Yan Zhen's hands.

A dangerous battle ended in such an anticlimactic manner, but the danger was not fake.

If Chen Lifu deliberately waited for the two of them to be beaten to death before taking action, what would be the result? It is not impossible, but they think that the probability that Chen Lifu would not stand idly by is still higher.

What's more, there is Chen Xiao as an insurance!

At this time, Oats also hurried over. After sending Xu Dao to Yanlai Tower, he immediately returned home. Since he didn't know the result of Xu Dao's trip, he could only return home to ensure the stability of his family. If there was any change, he had to take the master's family and Ge Lao's family to evacuate the city as quickly as possible.

This was the plan that Xu Dao and they had prepared long ago. Although it was only used for the first time, they had already deduced it many times.

Although this action could not be foolproof, it was definitely the best solution at present.

However, he had just arrived home when he saw a fierce battle outside the city, and then the high-rise of Yanlai Tower suddenly collapsed. At a glance, he knew that the master was afraid of being in trouble!

In order to find out the situation, he immediately returned here. Fortunately, when he rushed over, he saw Xu Dao still standing there in good condition, even without any injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, today has been full of twists and turns, and you are also frightened, so go back first! We will talk about it another day!" Nangong Nei signaled Xu Dao that he could leave.

"Then I will go back first. I have to report that I am safe first, otherwise the elders at home will worry!"

Xu Dao did not say anything polite. He first looked at Nangong Nei, then said goodbye to the two of them and got on the carriage directly.
