Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and the sun was shining brightly. Xia Xie was sitting on the edge of a pond with a piece of clothing on his back. He was holding a fishing rod in his hand. His face was still a little pale. It was obvious that he had not fully recovered from his internal injuries.
.【】Thinking of the fierce battle with Heiyun Hongmu a few days ago, I still have some lingering fears in my heart. Heiyun Hongmu is used to being arrogant. With his strength, Xia Xie doesn't take him seriously at all. Otherwise, his clone
How could the sneak attack succeed? If it weren't for Heiyun Hongyan's carelessness, he would be buried in Miracle Continent now. I have to admit that Heiyun Hongyan's strength is much higher than him.
Nowadays, I have been extremely lucky along the way, but after all, Heiyun Hongyan has lived for such a long time. One took shortcuts, and the other took shortcuts but practiced longer. It is normal for his cultivation to be higher than Xia Xie's.
At this time, the fish float in the water moved. Xia Xie immediately pulled the fishing rod, and a big fish was directly lifted up by Xia Xie. Then Xia Xie unhooked the fish and put it into the fish basket, in the hands of Xiao Ruoxuan who was sitting cross-legged next to him.
He was also holding a fishing rod, frowning with a lawsuit look on his face, and was fishing
It's been an hour, but not a single fish has been caught, and Xia Xie's fish basket has almost slowed down. Xiao Ruoxuan pouted and said: "If we want to eat fish, just buy a few. Why do we have to waste time here?"
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Silly girl, fishing is a game."
It's a matter of patience. If you want to achieve great things, you must be calm, learn to strategize, and firmly grasp all the factors that can be used in your own hands. Use these to find the enemy's flaws, and finally eliminate them.
He defeated. Let you come fishing instead of letting you
You go back to eat, but you have to learn patience and seize opportunities from here. If your fish floats, it is the fish testing. If it kills your enemy, he will also test the trap you set. At this time, you
You must not move, you must stay calm and wait for him to take the bait."
Xiao Ruoxuan took a deep breath, and Xia Xie's float sank suddenly, and immediately shouted: "Pull quickly." Xiao Ruoxuan raised the fishing rod, and sure enough, a big fish took the bait. Only then did a trace of joy appear on her little face.
With a smile, she immediately took the fish off the hook excitedly. When she was about to put it back into the fish basket, she hesitated and put the fish back into the water. Xia Xie did not stop her, but
She smiled slightly. Although this girl is a bit naughty, she is kind-hearted. Although this conflicts with the fact that being a demon king requires learning to kill decisively, Xia Xie still hopes that his children will become kind people and be decisive in killing.
It is a king's sharp weapon. If she uses it well, it will be good. If she doesn't use it well, it will be the beginning of tragedy. At least her kind nature will not let her get lost in the monstrous royal power.
At this time, there was a burst of footsteps behind him, and then he heard someone shouting: "The King of Xia is here." Xia Xie put down the fishing rod, turned around and saw Shaokang stepping into the small courtyard.
She hurriedly supported him and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there's no need." Xiao Ruoxuan put him down.
Yugan smiled and said: "Hello, Uncle Shaokang." After she became the Demon King, the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan were not monarchs and ministers, so there was no need to salute. Xia Xie smiled at Xiao Ruoxuan and said: "Go find your mother.
.I want to talk to your uncle about something." Xiao Ruoxuan had already become a little impatient and ran away without a trace.
Shaokang sat cross-legged next to Xia Xie and said with a smile: "You are in great spirits." Xia Xie said with a smile: "My daughter is impetuous by nature, so let her learn to be more calm. Is your injury healed?" Shaokang said with a smile: "No.
What's the big deal? Where's your injury?" Xia Xie said with a smile: "You've recovered roughly, but it will take more than half a month to fully recover. Why did you come suddenly today?
"Shaokang smiled awkwardly and said: "I didn't come here to thank you. Last time I was impulsive and almost killed you. If you really died, how could you make me feel embarrassed when we meet in hell?
Xia Xie smiled and said: "You are the king and I am the minister. It is normal for me to die for you. If my father knew that I was alive and you were dead, he would probably come here in the middle of the night if he was a ghost.
Look for me. Besides, even if I encounter the situation that day, I will make the same choice as you. Maybe this is the reason why we can't become heroes after all." Shaokang nodded and said: "Yes, after all these years of ups and downs,
Wandering, in the end, I find that everything is blank. The status of the country is just a passing smoke. Even if I have the power, my heart is empty. Every time I meet you
The family is happy, but I feel a little lonely in my heart. Especially now, my lifelong wish has been achieved. Looking back, it’s time to think about other things." Xia Xie smiled and said: "What about you and being a senior sister?" Shaokang smiled calmly.
He smiled and said: "I woke up that day and had a long talk. She said she believed in fate. If God really had this arrangement, she would happily accept it. She said let nature take its course."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "That's not bad. At least your lives have been handed over. Maybe she will think of you when she is tired that day. You can't be anxious about this kind of thing. Anyway, everyone will live a long life, and time is not worth a moment.
"Ti." Shaokang nodded and said, "I understand. It's mine."
, will appear in my life eventually. It's fate. By the way, the princes and kings from all over the country have returned to the heavenly camp. When are you going to leave?" Xia Xie smiled and said: "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'm actually early.
I just want to go back, but I haven’t figured out the plan yet.
I have been thinking about it for the past few days." Shaokang was stunned and said: "Plan?" Xia Xie nodded and said: "This time I went to the Miracle Continent, and I suddenly discovered that we all underestimated the Sky-Destroying Demon and the Red Eyes. Especially the Red Eyes.
, he carefully planned this plan and planned it for so many years
, he is currently accumulating strength, and when he breaks out, it will be a disaster for us. We must resolve the battle with heaven as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Otherwise, the longer the delay, the more tragic we will be.
.This time I decided to take a risk.”
Shaokang asked: "How sure are you about your plan?"
I told you. I’ll tell you when the time is right.” Shaokang smiled and said, “Why don’t you take me with you?”
I can't fight with soldiers. Even if you tell me, I can't give you any advice. I can only do my best to ensure your logistics." Xia Xie said: "We are going to start preparing the reserve army. I think it is best to change it now.
Under the system of recruiting soldiers, half soldiers and half farmers, farming in leisure time, and war
When the time comes, we can charge into battle. If the black clouds and red eyes come, it will definitely be a disaster for us. We should prepare in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes, just like the attack from heaven. With a powerful weapon, no matter what time, we will deal with the enemy who is peeking at us.
It’s all a kind of deterrence. If it’s a deterrent
We are good enough, and the enemy does not dare to act rashly. Heaven took advantage of our loophole last time. In the final analysis, we did not let Heaven feel our strong deterrence. Otherwise, even if he wanted to send troops, he would hesitate again and again, instead of wanting to fight.
Just hit me as if you don't exist."
Shaokang nodded and said, "I have been thinking about this issue, but at present, the royal power cannot be highly concentrated. The princes and kings in various places have their own rules. I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome to enforce administration." Xia Xie said with a smile: "
Now is not the time to be kind to them. Since those princes and kings are unwilling to cooperate and delay our plan to retreat, then they
He is a sinner of the Wu clan. Such a person is not worthy of being a prince. Besides, most of the princes and kings who made great contributions to China have passed away. The remaining princes and kings are just enjoying the virtues of their ancestors. They want to keep them.
If you want the throne, you'd better show some merit. After all, there is no free lunch in this world."
Shao Xiao said: "Forget it, this time I need to hold a butcher's knife in one hand and a favor in the other. Don't worry, I can still handle this matter. Besides, the princes and kings are all in the heavenly military camp now, so I guess they don't dare to mess around.
Xia Xie said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. With me here, they will be a little more scrupulous. What are you going to do about Han Chu?" Shaokang said: "According to Chinese law, he will be Ling Chi."
My family members who have meritorious deeds will be distributed, and those who have no merit will be put to death. What do you think?" Xia Xie hesitated and said, "Let's confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. You can't be more kind to him. Many princes and kings are following you." Shaokang gritted his teeth and said.
: "Forget it. That's it. Well, I have to go back. There are still a bunch of memorials that need to be dealt with. If you decide to leave on that day, write a letter and let me know, and I will send you off personally."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Don't send me off yet. I won't go back to the barracks directly when I leave this time. I will probably go to other places in the heaven first. If you send me off, I'm afraid it will be exposed. I will go back with you, and what will happen next?"
Yi's matter has not been settled yet." Shaokang was stunned and said, "That's fine." Then he turned and left. Xia Xie followed Shaokang back to Wang Tingzhi one after another. Shaokang
Xia Xie and Xia Xie immediately entered Hou Yi's mourning hall. Over the years, the princes and kings from all over the country and Hou Yi's direct descendants have left one after another, and the mourning hall has become much deserted. Shaokang and Xia Xie came in, and saw two elders from the witch temple guarding them.
Xia Xie smiled and said, "Where is Chang'e now? King Xia and I want to see her." One of the elders went to pass the message, and Chang'e came out of the inner hall in a moment.
Shaokang was stunned when he saw Chang'e. Even if he only used his imagination, he could not imagine that there was such a stunning woman in the world. She was so beautiful that it made people unable to breathe. Xia Xie gave Shaokang a gentle kiss, and Shaokang said
Only then did she realize that she had indeed lost her composure just now, but Chang'e had become accustomed to it, and she didn't look guilty. She was wearing a white dress today.
Wearing plain robes, she was still observing filial piety for Hou Yi. As the saying goes, if you want to be handsome, you must be filial, and the effect will naturally be very shocking. When Chang'e saw Shaokang wearing a rolling dragon crown and a crown on his head, he knelt down slightly and said:
"Chang'e, the daughter of the people, came to see King Xia." Shaokang said hurriedly: "Xia Xie, help him up quickly." Xia Xie hurriedly supported Chang'e and said: "Sister-in-law, please get up. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."
Shaokang said: "Xia Xie has discussed with me and the witch temple. We all agree that Hou Yi has outstanding achievements and should be buried in a dragon tomb. However, considering Hou Yi's last wish, we decided to follow your opinion and build it in Hou Yi's hometown.
Troops will be sent to guard his mausoleum, and local officials will be organized to pay homage every holiday. We cannot let the hero die and let him feel cold." Chang'e was anxious.
He hurriedly said: "Thank you, King Xia."
, to prevent some bold people with evil intentions. But don't worry, we will not disturb your sleep of Hou Yi. After all, the current situation is turbulent, so please understand us."
Chang'e nodded and said: "Thank you so much for the witch temple and Wang Ting's kindness. Chang'e is grateful. There is nothing I don't understand."
.if you
If our health deteriorates again, how can we explain to Hou Yi?" Chang'e nodded and said: "Thank you for reminding me." Xia Xie then took out the sun-shooting bow from the Qiankun bag and said: "I found this in the cold mansion. My sister-in-law said
Leave it as a thought
Right." Chang'e's eyes turned red as soon as she saw Hou Yi's sun-shooting bow. It's understandable that she missed someone when she saw something. However, she wiped her tears and said: "Although this bow and arrow are Hou Yi's personal belongings, I can't.
Collect. This was a gift from the witch temple back then.
The treasure given to Hou Yi to guard the temple was originally called Qiankun. Later Hou Yi used it to shoot the sun, so it was renamed Sun Shooting Bow. After Hou Yi died, it should be returned to the witch temple. On the day before Hou Yi left, he once told me that this
These are his last words, and I dare not disobey them."
Xia Xie and Shaokang glanced at each other, and naturally could not say anything else. Xia Xie said: "The day after tomorrow, the witch temple will arrange for someone to escort you home. Please take care of me, sister-in-law. King Xia and I will leave first." After saying this, Shaokang and Xia Xie said one after another.
He knelt down in front of Hou Yi's coffin, offered incense and worshiped, and then ordered
He called Chang'e a few times before leaving. After leaving the mourning hall, Shao and Xia Xie were in the same heavy mood. Xia Xie said, "When Hou Yi leaves, you'd better go and see him off. He likes to be lively, so don't leave."
It's too deserted." Shaokang nodded and said: "I understand, how can we let the hero return to the mountain?
He left in a deserted manner. Such a hero endured humiliation and shouldered a heavy burden. The Wu clan already owed him too much. He came with a bang and left with a bang. I will go back and pass on the imperial edict. Wherever Hou Yi's mausoleum goes, he will be received according to the highest Chinese etiquette.
Xia Xie nodded and said, "This is what we should do."
What should be done. Also, you saw Chang'e's stunning appearance just now. I'm afraid someone might be up to no good after she returns home. There are many bold and sexy people these days, and besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You'd better think of a way, if Chang'e
What went wrong, and how should I explain it to Hou Yi’s subordinates?”
Shaokang thought for a while and said: "Let's just list that place as a restricted area, protected by a witch temple and surrounded by troops. As time goes by, it will gradually become okay." Xia Xie smiled and said: "That's fine." The two shouldered shoulders.
Walking side by side on the main road of Longcheng, Shaokang said: "I don't know how long you will be gone, so I will give you a gift today."
Okay. Take care of yourself in the future. I love Anyi and wait for the news of your triumph." Xia Xie smiled and said: "I know, you should also take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about things on the front line." The two of them chatted all the way to the main hall.
Outside, Shaokang waved to Xia Xie and then entered the main hall. Xia Xie smiled, turned around and walked towards the witch temple.
The princes, kings and generals from all over the country have gone back, and many elders from the witch temple have also returned to the military camp. The witch temple seems a lot deserted. Xia Xie entered the backyard of the witch temple and came to Li Wu Hall. His wife
They are all still here, Xilin Xinrui is packing her luggage, Yao Ruoxin is holding Xiao Ruoxuan there and talking and laughing with Taiping, Huo Ling'er and the two maids are taking care of them there.
The children were enjoying themselves. After Xia Xie came in, Heilin and Xinrui asked, "When will we set off?"
Go with your senior brothers to track down the Heaven-Happy Demon?" Huo Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go with my senior brothers. Nowadays, the Heaven-Happy Demon's forces are all over the world, and they don't have enough manpower."
Xia Xie said, "Then you should be more careful. Don't act alone. The Heaven-Happy Demon is an unscrupulous person, and he will use any despicable method." Huo Ling'er laughed and said, "You are so verbose, you will soon become a multi-treasure master.
Brother, people know." Then Xia Xie walked to Taiping and said with a smile: "It's still hard for you to come here. You have to worry about these three children." Princess Taiping smiled and said; "It's okay, you all come back safely.
, I feel relieved. As for the other things, you don’t need to worry about it." Helin Xinrui suddenly asked, "Aren’t you coming with us?" Xia Xie shook his head and said, "I still need to sneak into the heaven.
By the way, you follow
Yao Ruoxin wants to cover me this time and create a false impression for others. I have already gone to the barracks. There are many eyes and ears in Heaven. If I am not in Anyi or Heaven, they will definitely be more vigilant. I am afraid that I will have difficulty moving."
Helin Xinrui said, "You are the general leading the army, how can we protect you?"
Fake
Pretend to be me. Yao Ruoxin is the Demon King, and there are still a lot of government affairs to deal with every day." Tielin and Xinrui were stunned and said: "Pretend to be you? Is this what you're going to do?" Xia Xie said with a smile: "Yan Miao and the others will protect you.
Yes. Don't worry. You will follow Yan Miao during the day, and you will go to Yao Ruoxin's place to sleep at night. Who will doubt you?" Xilin Xinrui walked up to Yao Ruoxin, gently pinched Yao Ruoxin's chin and smiled.
He said: "I heard that, little beauty, you will be mine from now on. If you don't obey me, be careful I will deal with you at night." Yaoruoxin blushed and said with a smile: "You, no one will follow him.
Learn well." Xilin Xinrui smiled and said: "Who says you can't learn well. I mean, you must be overthinking when I take care of Xiao Ruoxuan with you." Yao Ruoxin smiled awkwardly and did not say anything. On the contrary,
Xiao Ruoxuan was so confused, staring with big eyes and wondering, what are they talking about? Heilin Xinrui said: "How long will it take you to go?" Xia Xie shook his head and said: "I still want to do this.
I don’t know. I’ll write a secret edict later, and you can bring it to Shen Tu Lei, Yan Miao, and the Canghai Witch Lord. They will follow the secret edict. I won’t come, so try not to send troops. The Heavenly Court will be on guard and waiting for us to make mistakes. We
We can’t give them any chance. Okay, let’s not talk about this today. I’ll treat you to the biggest restaurant in Anyi for a good meal in the evening. Let’s also have a family reunion.”
