stand back, let me come

Chapter 1369: How could one know that the Way of Heaven is as curved as a bow (Part 1369) [Seeking monthly votes]

The red-robed woman lowered her eyes and considered Luo San's proposal.

It's really not worth it to risk everything at this moment.

There were only three captives of some importance. Their lives were kept as bargaining chips. It was not worthwhile to force them to stay. The red-robed woman put down her bow and slightly moved to the side to make way.

Miao Ne refused to leave just like that.

She asked, "Where will you be imprisoned in the future?"

The red-robed woman looked at Miao Ne with disdain and sneered, "I am willing to let you live, but you'd better quit while you are ahead! Xiang Zhao is one of my generation, what future can he have by following you guys?"

Gongyang Yongye looked at the woman in red robe with indifferent eyes.

He asked in a strange tone: "Among us?"

The red-robed woman didn't want to waste time talking to them. A red whirlwind rose under her feet. When the wind died down, her shadow was no longer on the tree branch. Miao Ne subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but stopped abruptly. She bit her lip in annoyance and murmured in a low voice: "What is the origin of this person? Why is he so concerned about coming and going?"

It is certain that Xiang Zhao has no friendship with this person.

Xiang Zhao had lived in seclusion in the mountains with his grandfather since he was a child, and his range of activities was so small, while the red-robed woman was a pure Central Continent person, and the two were separated by a world of difference. Miao Ne took a deep breath to calm his disordered thoughts, and retracted the side of his eyes from Luo San. Although Gong Yang Yongye said that Luo San was now a 20th-rank Chehou, from the point of view that he did not want to intensify the conflict with the red-robed woman, it was unrealistic to expect her to rescue Xiang Zhao. Moreover, in addition to Xiang Zhao, many soldiers and horses fell into the hands of the enemy and became prisoners.

It is not enough to just rescue one person.

"...We must hurry back to the royal court as soon as possible to discuss the redemption of the captives with the Lord." Miao Ne's eyes were red as she spoke. She was not about to cry but was angry. She had never suffered such a big loss before, and she suffered such a big loss with the help of Gong Yang Yongye.

In the past, Miao Ne would not have the face to go back.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Gongyang Yongye and asked for his opinion. If this person refused to cooperate and insisted on going his own way to get revenge, Miao Ne would not be able to stop him. It would be good if he could escape unscathed, but if he fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be difficult to escape.

Gongyang Yongye suppressed the boiling anger in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back to the royal court first."

Let Kangguo Xinglin doctor take a look at him, maybe there is a way to restore him to normal. If he keeps maintaining this youthful body, not only will he not be able to fulfill his promise to rescue Xiang Zhao, he may also be in trouble. At this time, he thought of Luo San: "What do you know about this demon's magic? When can I recover? I can't really turn back to youth and live another sixty years to grow back, right?"

Gong Yang Yongye is more inclined to believe that this is only temporary.

If you accidentally get hit by an arrow, your body will go back a decade, which means you will be immortal to a certain extent? If it is permanent, how many superiors will go crazy for it? If you get hit by an arrow when your time is almost up, you can add a decade to your life.

Miao Ne also looked at Luo San nervously, waiting for the verdict. Restricted by her body as a girl, she could not do anything now. Regardless of whether others were willing or not, she definitely did not want to grow up again.

"Of course it's impossible to grow again. According to my experience, after being shot by an arrow, one person grows one year a day for ten days or half a month. Calculating your time, it should be about time to start." Luo San first gave the two of them a reassurance, and then poured a basin of cold water on them, "There are three methods in the time bow technique. One arrow goes forward, one sixty years, one arrow goes forward, one sixty years, and the other arrow... Ha, I hope this girl doesn't have the talent of Yuan Fu, or dies early like Yuan Fu."

Miao Ne thought he was listening to a divine book: "One arrow in the past, one arrow in the future... Is this a realm that human power can reach?"

Ordinary brave warriors would have no power to resist if they encountered this kind of person.

Luo San said calmly: "Yuan Fu regarded himself as a 'god' in the past. He had one trick and was able to conquer everyone. With one bow, he once killed his peers without any resistance. Fortunately, he died early."

Miao Ne smiled bitterly: "The man just now didn't look like he would die young."

Luo San thought she was frightened.

I couldn't help but reveal some inside information to cheer them up: "You don't have to be so scared. These three arrows sound scary, but they are useless if they hit their nemesis. For example, the arrow she just shot was useless if it hit someone like me. For example, the arrow in the future is specifically designed to restrain those who are strong but have little life left. If it hits a master with a long life span and a long peak period, there is nothing we can do."

Miao Ne repeatedly asked for confirmation: "Is what you said true, senior?"

"Why would I lie to you, a baby?"

"The younger generation is not a baby."

"It's all the same to me." People in their forties or fifties are nothing but babies in front of him. "How old have you regressed to?"

"About eight or nine years old?"

During the time she was imprisoned, Miao Ne had no opportunity to look in the mirror and could only roughly judge her age group based on her height.

"You're not a warrior?"

"Is there anything wrong with my junior's literary career?"

"Nothing serious. This is the first time I've seen a scholar get hit by the Time Arrow." Whether it was Yuan Fu or other Time Arrow successors, they were basically military commanders who only took action briefly during the battles and sieges. Therefore, the information he learned was based on the fact that the victims were military commanders.

Miao Ne sighed and said, "She wants to catch me..."

Speaking of Xiang Zhao, Miao Ne remembered a detail.

"Laiqu stood in front of me, and the sharp arrow pierced her body first, and then pierced my body. I became like this, but Laiqu -" she recalled carefully, "did not change."

Miao Ne and Gongyang Yongye both changed after being shot by arrows.

When Xiang Zhao was abducted by the other party, he was still in adult form.

"...I just thought it was because of Laiqu's relationship with the scholars. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be entirely true. Why did that person say that Laiqu and she were of the same path? What do they have in common?"

This may be the crux of the problem.

Gong Yangyongye did not participate in this topic.

However, Luo San had been observing his breath changes in secret, guessing that this unlucky guy knew something. He didn't confess, perhaps because he was worried about the presence of an outsider like him? Thinking of this, Luo San sneered and had no interest in intervening in the matter.

Unless these two people can help Lady Xiahou.

But since Miao Ne had never heard of Xia Houli, these two could not be core figures. This speculation also has loopholes, for example, it is unlikely that Gong Yang Yongye's strength is not in the core circle...

Luo San didn't want to embarrass himself, so he chose to ignore it.

Cui Xiong had another high fever during the meal, and his whole body was burning. Miao Ne gently touched his forehead with the back of her hand and said worriedly: "You have such a high fever. If you don't find a way to reduce the fever, I'm afraid..."

A scholar of letters can also be turned into a fool.

Even if you don't turn into a fool, febrile convulsions can be fatal.

She could only look to Luo San for help.

Miao Ne, who was eight or nine years old, had not yet started her enlightenment practice. She had no energy to help Cui Xiong suppress his body temperature. Gong Yang Yongye was meditating and practicing to heal his internal injuries, so she didn't want to disturb him. Luo San temporarily recovered to his peak state, and he was in control of the outside world like a fish in water. Miao Ne's eyes were naturally in it. The old man was soft-hearted, but he was not a bodhisattva: "I helped the lady, how can the lady repay you?"

Miao Ne said firmly: "It is within the moral principles and we will do our best."

Upon hearing this, Luo San smiled and said, "You are still a man of integrity. Look at the unusual way you look at him. Is he your sweetheart?"

Miao Ne said: "No."

Someone with a high fever curled his fingers. Miao Ne calmly added the following content: "We were engaged before, but it has been dissolved. Even if there is no such relationship, he is still a colleague who helps me a lot. His father Cui Zhi is the patriarch of a large family in the southwest. The Cui family has surrendered to Kangguo not long ago. If the next generation of Cui family patriarch dies here at this time, the southwest situation that has finally settled down will be in turmoil again, and the Cui family and the royal court will also be alienated... With so many changes, it is still the common people who suffer..."

She was determined to protect Cui Xiong.

Hearing this, Luo San couldn't help but look at Miao Ne with higher regard.

He also noticed the change in Cui Xiong's aura, and a bit of evil interest arose in his heart: "My life is complete, but I regret that I cannot fulfill my wish. My lady is gifted, virtuous and beautiful. If she can marry into the Luo family... Of course, I also know that a forced melon is not sweet, and I don't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune. As long as my lady considers my useless young man and gives him a chance, that's all."

Miao Ne: “…”

The scene before my eyes was inexplicably reminiscent of some street storybooks.

For example, a pair of lovers have a crush on each other, and many twists and turns make them unaware of each other's feelings, until one of them is in danger of life, and the other sacrifices herself to save her lover and marries someone else, just in exchange for life-saving medicine. The subsequent plot is either a wedding robbery in public, or a reunion after missing each other for many years, a sadistic love. Of course, this is not a new work of [Five Elements Defective].

[The Five Elements are lacking in virtue] They only like strong women and weak men, or both of them are strong.

Miao Ne was not sure: "Just seeing each other?"

Luo San suppressed his smile and said, "Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."

Even though Cui Xiong was delirious with fever, he still tried his best to open his eyelids that felt like they were filled with lead, grabbed Miao Ne's sleeve tightly, and shouted with all his might: "No! Ximin, you can't do this!"

Luo San angrily threw the wet towel at his face.

"Young people are very cunning."

Cui Xiong was so frightened by the scene just now that he broke out in a cold sweat. After sweating, his body temperature miraculously dropped a lot and his mind became much clearer.

Miao Ne: “…Awake?”

Cui Xiong curled up like a shrimp with its threads pulled out, gently rubbing her knees with his forehead covered with cold sweat, and softened his voice: "I'm not awake, I'm half asleep and half awake, I was scared by you..."

The kind that feels like half of the three souls and seven spirits are gone.

Miao Ne patted his hair and said, "Don't you think about how noble and upright this senior is? He thinks highly of me. He was just joking with me, and you took it seriously."

Luo San knew that Miao Ne was complimenting him, but who doesn't like to hear nice words? He said, "It's not entirely a joke. If I really had such a younger generation, I would have to make sure I was a matchmaker." Once people get older, they learn to be matchmakers without any guidance.

Miao Ne: “…”

Cui Xiong's eyes were filled with extreme resentment.

"I don't want you to go on a blind date, but you have to promise me one thing."

What does “not against morality” mean?

After successfully usurping the throne, Lady Xiahou became the moral leader.

Miao Ne said: "It's a deal."

Luo San was refreshed and didn't need to rest at the moment, but the three burdens couldn't stand the day and night travel. The group took a short break, gave Cui Xiong a whole can of fever-reducing soup, and Luo San used his martial arts to help him sort out the blocked meridians before they set off again.

It was not until we entered the territory of Kangguo that our tense nerves relaxed.

Miao Ne found the nearest border army, revealed his identity and asked for help. The commander of this border army was an acquaintance.

When Zhao Wei heard that County Magistrate Yuan Fu came to ask for help, he thought he had misheard and hurried over but did not see the familiar Miao Ne.

But I saw Cui's eldest son.

Standing next to him was a girl of about eight or nine years old.

The girl looks somewhat like Miao Ne.

"General Dawei, it's me, Miao Ximin." The girl who was suspected to be Miao Ne's same clan/illegitimate daughter suddenly introduced herself. Zhao Wei was stunned and looked at the little girl in front of him in disbelief. Miao Ne said helplessly, "This is a long story. Please help me, General. I have something important to tell the master. It is a matter of urgency!"

Zhao Wei didn't dare to delay.

Said: "I will arrange for an expedited delivery of 800 miles."

In fact, it would be faster to use DingTalk to hold court meetings, but the area where she was stationed was too remote, and the royal court was secretly preparing for war, so they greatly reduced the frequency of using DingTalk to hold court meetings, trying to save as much national fortune as possible for the future. Currently, the two places could only communicate by express delivery at the post station of 800 miles.

The post stations in Kangguo are very mature, and Zhao Wei's army has a special team of elite messengers, so it doesn't take too long for the news between the two places to go back and forth. Miao Ne said again: "I have another unwelcome request."

"You and I are both ministers in the same court, why should we be polite?"

"I want to borrow the military medical specialist."

There are very few doctors in Kangguo. Except for a few places that have more than two doctors, most garrisons only have one position, and it has to be at the state level. There is no scale below, and local needs must apply to the higher level. Zhao Wei's father is Zhao Feng, and other uncles such as Qin Li and Cui Xiao are also her backers.

Naturally, you will get some preferential treatment.

"I thought it was a big deal. Why does it need help for such a small matter?" Zhao Wei looked at her childish appearance now, and then at Cui Xiong's sick face. He really needed a medical practitioner.

Watching the secret letter being sent out, Miao Ne also breathed a sigh of relief.

Make good use of your time to recuperate and recover as soon as possible.

Luo San then submitted his resignation: "I have been entrusted by someone and have important matters to attend to. You and I will part ways here."

Miao Ne and his companions did not try to persuade him to stay.

They met by chance, and the other party's willingness to save their lives was a great favor, and they dared not ask for more. Before leaving, Luo San asked where King Kang was. Miao Ne said: "Fengluo is far away from here. If Lord Luo doesn't mind, why not take someone to lead the way?"

"Alright."

Miao Ne hesitated again and again, and asked: "I wonder what Luo Hou went to Fengluo for? If he is looking for a friend, can you tell me which family it is? I can find you to repay you in the future... If it is for business, I have some connections in the capital, maybe I can help."

Luo San avoided the important issue.

"I heard that he often serves Lord Kang."

"Always serve the master? Then Luo Hou can't rush to Fengluo." The king usually lives in the capital, but this master is different. He stays in Fengluo for less than two months a year and spends most of his time running around. People who serve the master closely will naturally not be in the capital. Miao Ne pointed out the general direction to his benefactor, so that Luo San would not have to go the wrong way.

Luo San clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

Wait for news about the national mourning.

Luo San was unwilling to fight with the red-robed woman, and he also wanted to stay in peak condition as much as possible to complete his mission!

I will never play with a customized keyboard again. I bought a very expensive one with a tour group last year, and I forgot about it until today when I was packing up. I found this thing. After assembling it, I found that there were many problems with it. The keys were misplaced, and I couldn’t find anyone to help with after-sales service...

It’s not as cost-effective as mass-produced aluminum lumps.
