Chapter 958 Different paths lead to the same destination

The next day.

In the backyard of Yu's Clinic, Elder Yu, Hua Xiaolan, and Kua Ye sat around the medicine stove, decocting medicine and talking in low voices.

"I sneaked into the government office and the city garrison camp last night and found out."

Elder Yu said softly, "The closure of Yu'nan City is precisely to cut off the way for people like us to enter and leave Shu."

She briefly gave a rough outline of the situation.

The matter was not complicated - the Yijun and Xuanmeng had already known about Tang Jiao's plan to go down the mountain to look for Fu Qingzhou, but they did not expect that the Xishuo Army also knew the news.

Of course, this is not too strange. The two sides have been fighting for three years. It is absolutely impossible to say that the Xishuo Army did not plant spies in the Rebel Army and the Xuanmeng.

This time, Fu Qingzhou's return almost solved the problem of the Northern Barbarians in a short time. The pressure on the Xishuo Army increased greatly, and the level of vigilance against Fu Qingzhou was raised by several levels.

Correspondingly, they naturally discovered that Tang Jiao had predicted that Fu Qingzhou would return this year.

As Qingsongzi's apprentice and the only second successor of Langhuan Mountain, although Tang Jiao had not had any particularly outstanding performance before and always had a low sense of presence, this time she suddenly said that she was going down the mountain to meet Fu Qingzhou. The Xishuo Army camp... was undoubtedly panicked.

Especially when they knew that the Xuanmeng and the rebel army had quietly sent people to support them, they became even more panicked.

The most terrifying thing is not that you know what earth-shattering move the enemy is going to make.

But the enemy has already moved, and you don’t know what he is going to do!

The Xishuo army was guessing, and no one knew why Tang Jiao wanted to find Fu Qingzhou, and what would happen after she found him. Fu Qingzhou alone could handle the Northern Barbarians, but what would happen if he added a junior sister who had been practicing in Langhuan Mountain for three years?
Therefore, while they dispatched troops to the Northern Frontier to try to stop the Northern Frontier Army, they also sent people to block all the roads and paths that could approach Langhuan Mountain.

"This is all the information we have here."

Elder Yu said slowly: "But I suspect that they will not only block our way, but will also be looking for us, and may even send people to attack Langhuan Mountain."

Hua Xiaolan and Kua Ye looked at each other, their eyes somewhat solemn.

They knew that there were more than three of them going to Langhuan Mountain to pick up Tang Jiao.

Xuanmeng also sent out some other people, but even Hua Xiaolan and the others didn't know who they were or which route they would take.

"We have to hurry to Langhuan Mountain."

Hua Xiaolan whispered, "Perhaps we can use Hua Ruying."

She stayed in this clinic just because of Hua Ruying's matter, and naturally told everyone what she had heard.

“It can indeed be used.”

Kua Ye agreed, "He seems to be the general who was in a stalemate with Marshal Ning in Anyue City before. He seems to be quite capable... If he is willing to stand on our side, or even give us a hand, we will be much more relaxed."

The three of them didn't even mention something like "Elder Yu is in the Cave Heaven Realm and can fly over directly."

There are also masters of the Cave Heaven Realm in the Xishuo army, and there is even a Ning Wuwang who has broken through to the Xuanxing realm. Now he is flying brazenly in the enemy's territory, which is equivalent to setting himself up as a target.

"Leave this matter to me."

Hua Xiaolan said in a deep voice: "This Hua Ruying... He truly admires Wuying and wants to make a name for himself in the Xishuo Army. We must be careful and cautious when dealing with him."

"I'm staying here tonight, too."

Elder Yu said softly, "Don't feel burdened. If our whereabouts are exposed, it doesn't matter. A mere Yunan City can't stop us. It will just cause trouble later."

Hua Xiaolan smiled and said, "Okay."

Although Elder Yu said this, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Elder Yu transferred those strange curses to herself. Although her complexion now only looks bad, no one knows what impact it will have on her. Therefore, if she can avoid taking action, it is better to do so.

If Hua Ruying really doesn't know what's good for him...

A fierce look flashed in Hua Xiaolan's eyes.

Three years ago, she saw something left behind by Lingwu Mountain in the depths of the tiankeng. In the past three years, she had not learned or done nothing...

……

night.

It’s still the same ward, the same moonlight, and the same smell of medicine.

"I'll be out watching. Call me if anything happens."

Kua Ye nodded to Hua Xiaolan and walked out of the ward.

In the room, the two soldiers who were on duty to keep watch today were sleeping soundly and snoring loudly.

Hua Xiaolan walked lightly and silently to Hua Ruying's side.

She waved her hand gently, and a mist of medicine came out from her sleeves and sprinkled on Hua Ruying, and then it all went into Hua Ruying's nose as if it had life. After a while, Hua Ruying's eyelids trembled, her breathing became a little disordered, and the muscles in her body began to contract. She was slowly waking up.

But the moment he opened his eyes, two small scorpions had climbed onto his shoulders, and their small and sharp pincers, glowing with a faint green light, approached his pupils.

"!!!"

Hua Ruying had just woken up, and before she could figure out the situation, she was suddenly shocked!
"Be quiet, don't shout."

Hua Xiaolan said calmly: "Otherwise, you will never be able to succeed."

"You, what are you talking about..." Hua Ruying said in a hoarse voice.

He didn't even dare to look up, so naturally he couldn't see the woman who was talking next to him.

Hua Xiaolan smiled and said, "You know what I'm talking about... Hua Ruying, right? Have you ever thought that using this name might cause you unnecessary trouble?"

"you!"

Hua Ruying's pupils shrank, his face changed, and he lowered his voice: "You know Hero Hua!"

"He is my man." Hua Xiaolan said calmly.

"!!!"

Hua Ruying was startled again and barely managed to sit up, as the two little scorpions' pincers moved closer and forced him back.

"You, you are..." He said in a trembling voice: "Hero Hua's..."

"Just know it, don't ask any more questions."

Hua Xiaolan said calmly, "You used to be Fajian, and he helped you, right? He was the one who taught you how to use the Light-Splitting Sword."

"Yes."

Although Hua Ruying only responded with one word, she was obviously a little excited: "You even know about this matter, as expected... Hero Hua, is he okay?"

“Not very good.”

Hua Xiaolan's tone dropped a little, but soon became serious again: "Unless we send Tang Jiao to Fu Qingzhou."

silence.

The ward quickly fell silent.

"I see." Hua Ruying smiled bitterly: "You came here for this matter."

"I didn't intend to look for you."

Hua Xiaolan said leisurely: "Who told you to give yourself such a name?"

"I see." Hua Ruying asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"It's very simple."

Hua Xiaolan told the plan that had been prepared long ago: "If you, the Xishuo Army, want to kill Tang Jiao, you only need to send a team of troops to Langhuan Mountain for support, and then insert a team of civilians to help with chores and handling logistics."

She naturally didn't need to say anything more. The three of them from Wan Du Mountain naturally had to blend into the civilian group.

"no problem."

Hua Ruying agreed without any hesitation: "Is there anything else you need?"

"Haha, yes."

Hua Xiaolan smiled and said, "That is..."

She was halfway through her words when the two little scorpions suddenly stretched out their pincers and pinched Hua Ruying's neck!
He groaned in pain, and two tiny wounds immediately appeared on his neck!

"What are you doing?!" Hua Ruying was shocked.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay."

Hua Xiaolan said quietly, "But after a year, if there is no antidote, I can't guarantee what you will become... After all, you killed so many rebels, I have to ask for some repayment, right? Unless Wuying personally intercedes for you, or... if we win this year, maybe, once I'm in a good mood, I'll give you the antidote."

Two small scorpions crawled away from Hua Ruying's body. He touched the wound on his neck with lingering fear, but found that the wound had healed in such a short time, leaving only two small scars.

When he sat up, there were only two dozing soldiers in the ward, and there was no sign of any woman at all.

"This……"

Hua Ruying's face changed again and again, but soon, he was overcome by a strong sense of sleepiness. His body was already injured and he could not hold on at all. His head tilted, and he fell back onto the bed and fell asleep.
