Chapter 437 The plan was disrupted

Shiyi was very frightened. He had only studied with Grand Master Chu for a few days, and his cultural knowledge had not improved yet.

He was just afraid that he couldn't keep up with his wife's thinking and couldn't chat with her...

However, it was rare for him to see his wife showing such an expression, and he wanted to share her worries...

"Over the years, apart from the dangers you encountered on the frontier battlefields, what other dangers have your husband encountered?"

Su Manrong thought about Xiao Chengxian's intelligence and talent, as well as the meticulous and well-trained secret guard organization of the 50 Guards.

Xiao Chengxian should rarely encounter opponents along the way.

When he supported Emperor Dekang to ascend the throne, he could change the dynasty without spending a single soldier...

This time the court is stable and Emperor Dekang is still there. Xiao Chengxian only went to help His Royal Highness ascend the throne, so how could he be in danger?

"Never..." Yi Ling shook his head with pride. Over the years, only Xiao Yao could influence my mood, but he could not control his actions.

Let alone others, my foresight is unmatched by anyone in the world.

"That's true, his character is like this. It's true that no one can be more far-sighted than him."

Su Manrong saw how many 50 guards believed in Xiao Chengxian.

In their hearts, Xiao Chengxian is the undefeated God of War.

She may be worried because she is too sensitive.

The two of them chatted about Xiao Chengxian's experiences as a boy under the night sky.

When they talked about the interesting things between Wulingwei and Xiao Chengxian, the two of them felt a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, I'm dozing off too, let's go back to sleep."

Su Manrong raised her lips and smiled, shaking her head: "Go back and have a good rest."

Yi Ling just stood up and saluted, ready to go back to get a soft berth, so he lay down in front of Su Manrong's door to rest.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the next second, the soldiers on duty at the city gate hurriedly came to report.

"Steward Yi Ling, there is a wizard outside the city gate asking to see the city lord."

At this time, Su Manrong had just opened the door and entered, and the palace was very quiet, so Su Manrong heard the conversation between the two clearly.

She turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace, and said to the gate guard: "Is the wizard alone?"

"Yes, he said that the warriors who escorted him back from Dekang were ambushed in southern Chengzhou and northern Sichuan and Shu and died."

When the city gate guards see a stranger approaching, they will ask questions. After confirming the identity of the stranger, they will come back and report to the government.

What the wizard said didn't sound like he was lying. Besides, he was also injured and looked like he was being chased.

"I'll go take a look."

Su Manrong suddenly lost all sleepiness, and Xiao Chengxian mentioned the wizard in his mind.

Now the wizard has found Qianzhou...

All the things that happened today made her unable to wait any longer.

At the moment, Yi Ling accompanied Su Manrong to the city gate. Walking out from the small city gate, there was a simple house outside the city gate. It was a small house built when Qianzhou was plagued by epidemics.

At that time, no one was allowed to enter Qianzhou, so the small house was regarded as a temporary reception room.

The guards in front of the city gate are on duty 24 hours a day. The lights here are bright and can be seen clearly even from a mile away.

"Master Jinghua City, I am a person from the Western Regions. I present an ancient divine book from the Western Regions to Young Master Xiao. Young Master Xiao specially ordered me to come to Qianzhou to answer the questions for the City Lord."

When the wizard saw Su Manrong coming to the reception room surrounded by everyone, he knew that she was the purpose of his visit. As he spoke, he took out the sacred book from his pocket and saluted to the sacred book with a solemn expression.

"Who did Young Master Xiao arrange to send you here? Why are you alone?"

Su Manrong did not step forward to take the sacred book, but showed polite concern and at the same time looked at the man's expression.

She is a modern person, and the Western Regions are modern Xinjiang.

The Uyghur language spoken by the person in front of her made her feel a little lame...

"The warriors who escorted me here were captured in Sichuan and Shu. The warriors swore to protect me to the death, so that I could escape and come to Qianzhou."

As he spoke, the wizard recited a few incantations again, as if he was chanting sutras and praying for the warrior's soul, hoping that the warrior could reach the Paradise as soon as possible...

"Please also ask the wizard to carefully recall the location where he was ambushed. I will order someone to bring back the warrior's body so that he can be buried alive."

With that said, Su Manrong winked at Yi Ling. This time Yi Ling reacted quickly, took out his small notebook and pencil, and stood beside the wizard seriously waiting to take notes.

"It's at the junction of Sichuan, Shu and Qianzhou, only ten miles to the south..."

The wizard didn't seem to expect to encounter this problem. He was panicked for a moment, and then he gave the answer.

"Okay, order people to go immediately."

Su Manrong said, then turned to look at Yi Ling, winked at him, and then Yi Ling walked out in confusion.

"Madam, please put this ancient divine book away, please take good care of it.

If there's anything you don't understand, I'll definitely tell you."

The wizard once again handed the divine book to Su Manrong, and he repeatedly stated the importance of the divine book.

After Su Manrong took the sacred book, he nodded: "I will take good care of this book. The wizard has worked hard for coming all the way, so he will rest here first."

I'll come back to talk to the wizard in detail tomorrow."

Su Manrong didn't care whether this sacred book really recorded the art of time travel or the art of seizing a body.

She had already decided to stay, so this book had no appeal to her.

On the contrary, she had great doubts about the wizard's identity.

When Xiao Chengxian led the 50th Guards to Dekang, she had thought that having 40th Guards follow Xiao Chengxian, as 40th Guards were good at speaking, they might be able to help Xiao Chengxian.

But Xiao Chengxian had arranged for Zero 133 and two other 50 guards to accompany him. He said he liked even numbers.

If there are 401 more people, it will be difficult to arrange tasks.

Even the members of the 50th Guards are like this. If they want to carry out a mission, they will at least be accompanied by two people.

In this way, if something happens midway, at least one person will be able to record what happened.

For Xiao Chengxian, the existence of the wizard is his own business, so he should take it seriously.

No matter what, he would arrange for two people to escort the wizard to Qianzhou, but the wizard said that there was only one person...

If the wizard was not lying, then there were not many people available around Xiao Chengxian, so he would break his past habits.

The wizard didn't seem to expect that Su Manrong wouldn't let him enter the city, let alone read the sacred book in person.

His original plan has been shattered. If the people of Jinghua City Lord go to the border between Sichuan and Chengzhou and do not find the body of the warrior, then...

Su Manrong smiled at the wizard, turned and left the guest room.

She just saw the flash of panic in the wizard's eyes...

"There is no need to strengthen your defenses. If the wizard wants to run away, just send someone to follow him."
