Chapter 5 In the Peach Blossom Forest
Time passed by little by little, the conversation in this room had already come to an end, the coolness of the morning gradually faded, the sun slowly moved closer to the sky, the warm sunshine really made people drowsy.

Lying down and kneeling in such a huge peach forest forms a silent silence, leaving only a faint fragrance of peach blossoms lingering in the wind.

In the silence, an hour passed quickly, and the sun was already in the middle. Outside the peach forest, a 25-year-old man in Tsing Yi walked quickly, his back straight, his steps steady and silent, and he knew at a glance that he was extraordinary. Xiao, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, but there was no expression on his face. When he was only five steps away from here, he lifted his clothes and knelt down, bowed respectfully, "Shu Tong greets the master."

"What's up?"

"A moment ago, the guard rescued an injured and unconscious girl in the pond in the backyard. The subordinate came down to ask the master what to do."

It was just a woman, he didn't think the master would be interested in asking, but he didn't understand why Shishi, who was in charge of this matter, didn't come by himself, but instead sent him to report to the master.

The sharp eyes opened, still cold, and all the emotions quickly melted away the moment they closed, "The injured girl? Is it related to the assassin?"

"My subordinates don't know, the girl's dress is very strange, and the hidden weapon that caused her injury is also very strange. I have never seen it before, but it was only injured on the shoulder, and there is no danger of life. Shisi has ordered people to move her to the Plum Garden The guest room, and sent someone to notify Chu Han to come for a diagnosis and treatment." After speaking, his face was a little weird, and his head was lowered even more, as if he had something to say.

Taking the rare expression on his face into his eyes, the phoenix eyes lightly swept over, and said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, the pond in the backyard is an open space with a radius of twenty miles. It is the place where you usually use to train soldiers. And the nearest bamboo grove to the west is thirty feet away, and there are many traps. To the south is the peach grove. To the north, there are at least eight hidden guards in the plum garden every day. Not to mention the east side, which is the main courtyard. .”

Hearing this, Shu Tong, who reacted very quickly, suddenly understood something, and his face turned three points pale.

Glancing at the head in front of her that was obviously lowered because she understood what she said, a charming smile was slowly drawn on her lips, "Shu Tong, can you tell me how she managed to survive the injury?" Did you 'fall' into the pond in the backyard by avoiding the eyes and ears of your masters?"

After the sound of the word "what" fell, Shu Tong's expressionless handsome face became paler, and he moved his lips, but just as he was about to speak, he heard a slow sentence: "Don't tell me, she fell from the sky. .”

The cold sentence completely blocked his unspoken words. Even Shu Tong, who was used to wind and rain and experienced strong winds and waves more than once, couldn't help sweating his clothes at this time, and his head drooped so low that he couldn't lower it.

It wasn't until this moment that he fully understood why the Fourteenth Highness, who had always feared the world would not be chaotic and fearless, had asked him to come and report.

The master's invisible anger is beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.

And he was obviously calculated.

"Shu Tong, my patience is limited."

Shu Tong's face turned pale, and he could barely see any blood, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Master, that woman really... fell from the sky." After the words fell, he clearly felt the strong oppression that almost made his heart stop beating. feel.

However, he really did not lie, even if he borrowed ten courage from him, he would not dare to speak nonsense in front of his master.

Facing thousands of troops during military training, facing countless masters when facing the enemy, and even narrowly escaped several times, he has never felt like this.

On the other hand, the man who was lazily leaning on the back of the chair had just passed the weak crown.

In the almost suffocating silence, Mo Li, who was dressed in a black robe and as indifferent as Liang Qiu, came to him and knelt down on one knee, "Mo Li greets the master."

His voice was low and indifferent, and he didn't seem to see the two kneeling beside him.

"Li, how many soldiers and horses are there in the valley?"

"[-] elite soldiers, [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] purple cavalry are also practicing day and night in the valley, waiting for the master's orders at any time."

"If this king orders you to lead five thousand purple cavalry against one hundred thousand elite soldiers, what are the chances of winning?"

Five thousand against one hundred thousand, even if everyone is a master of martial arts, there is no certainty of victory, but when Mo Li heard this, the handsome face carved with ice and axes did not hesitate, and said indifferently: "Ninety percent."

"really?"

"Mo Li dare not lie to his master. The purple cavalry has undergone nine years of uninterrupted rigorous training. They are all proficient in cavalry and archery weapons. It is no problem to fight one against ten. Set up the formation, the two sides are prepared to fight, if the Fuyi formation is opened, another [-] can be destroyed, and the remaining [-] will be destroyed, the morale will be completely lost, and there is nothing to be afraid of, just wave your hands and destroy them."

Cang Hao smiled lightly, cold as jade, not surprised at all, "Since that's the case, make preparations in the next few days, and Shu Tong will take over the military power in Guzhong. Make arrangements before the beginning of next month, and lead [-] purple-clothed cavalry to disguise themselves and transform them into Ling, arrive in Langzhou before March [-]th, and wait for the king's order."

Mo Li bowed to accept the order without hesitation, "Yes, master."

"Go."

"Subordinates retire."

Langzhou is located in a remote place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the extreme west of the Celestial Dynasty, the Marquis of Changle, who is in charge of [-] soldiers and horses, has not paid taxes to the court for more than ten years, and has not listened to royal orders for more than ten years. Thousands of miles away, it seems to be a small country by itself, but it has not yet blatantly established itself as a king.And there, it is the main traffic route from the Celestial Dynasty to the Guizhou Kingdom.

If you want to enter Guizhou, you must pass through Langzhou. Similarly, if you want to enter Cangyue, you must pass through Langzhou.

The purpose of the master's trip is so.

Although the noon sun was warm but dazzling, the phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the slender and thin body finally left the rattan chair, stood up gracefully, and the purple sable fur cloak fell to the ground, but the owner did not catch a faint glance.Looking down at the two kneeling kneeling in front of him, he finally opened his mouth to show grace: "Get up."

"Yes." Standing up, Yue Xiao's expression has long since returned to calm, and there is hardly any abnormality, except that the left cheek is red and swollen, and the black and purple fingerprints reflecting the white jade-like face look shocking.

Seeing it, Shu Tong was puzzled, not knowing why Yue Xiao, who has always been good-tempered and secretive and almost never made a mistake, provoked his master so angry, and actually slapped his master himself, and was punished to kneel down like this. Long.Judging from the black and purple on his face, it should have been more than an hour.

Although it was common for Yue Xiao to be punished in the past, most of them went to the dark room to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes, or went to the ancestral hall to reflect on himself. They never saw his master do anything to him, and they never even knew why he was punished.

Between the master and Yue Xiao, there seems to be a secret that none of them can touch.

Cang Hao smiled coldly: "Both of you, go with me to meet that woman who 'falls from the sky'."

"Yes."

Yue Xiao approached to pick up the cloak, and the two of them followed behind Cang Hao, one on the left and the other on the right. They walked through rockery and flowing water, went north through a plum garden full of institutions, walked through nine winding corridors, and finally came to an independent small courtyard.
