I want to seal the knife

Chapter 64 - People's hearts

Chapter 65 - Human Heart
Xiao Po jumped on the horse's back, stroked its mane, and praised: "A good horse, as expected of Zi Dian."

Immediately after returning to the army formation, two other captains ran out, begging for orders to chase and kill Xiao Po, Yan Lie was also eager to try, Wanyan Bojun raised his hand to stop him: "Don't worry, when the city is broken, you will kill him at your own time."

Xiao Po returned to Yangan City, walked back to his residence, Suo Edo came in with him, and expressed his admiration, seeing Xiao Po beheading the enemy commander ten thousand with three swords today shocked him a lot.Xiao Po raised his hand to stop his flattery, and asked: "Suo Oduo, I asked your father to copy the cheat book of Tian Buddha Palm for you, how is your practice these days?"

Suo Edo turned his eyes carefully, and didn't know how to answer. In fact, he almost never read it. When he was free every day, he always ran to talk to the soldiers guarding and bragging. It seemed that it was worth showing off that he followed Xiao Po. , He has not been here for a long time, and he is familiar with most of the defenders in Yangan City, and almost everyone knows that he is Xiao Po's right-hand man.

"Didn't you take a good look at it?" Xiao Po asked again.

"Young Master Xiao, that secret book is so profound that I can't even understand it." Suo Eduo's face was covered with sweat, and he stretched out his sleeve to wipe it vigorously.

Xiao Po sighed, "Uncle Suo entrusted you to me, and I did it for your own good. I will show you the whole set of palm techniques several times today. You can see clearly, and you must study hard in the future."

Suo Edo also understood the form, and immediately knelt down to thank: "Thank you, Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Po stepped out of the room, entered the yard, raised his breath and opened his palms, hitting out the whole set of Heavenly Buddha Palms.After only learning for more than half a month, Xiao Po studied hard. Although he didn't master the essence of Tianfo Palm, but now he can type it out, combined with the traction of yoga's strange inner energy, coupled with the wrapping of the outer energy of the North Pole Celestial Magnetic Art, This set of Heavenly Buddha Palms was played with great momentum.

Suo Eduo watched and applauded, Xiao Po finished playing once and asked him how much he remembered, Suo Eduo said: "I remembered three or four moves."

Xiao Po shook his head helplessly, and hit it several times, and only stopped when Suo E Duoneng could roughly remember it.Entering the room to drink water, Suo Duo stood aside and waited.Xiao Po said: "From now on, you have to study hard every day, practice the comparison cheats I taught you today, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Suo Eduo nodded frequently.Xiao Po finished drinking the tea, then turned his voice softly and said: "It's not that I mean to be harsh on you, you must know that I did this today against General Sha Tuo's intention, and there are already people in Yangan City who are dissatisfied with my behavior. You are a member of our division, I am afraid that you will be excluded, so we have to make ourselves stronger so that we can gain a foothold in the army."

"Young Master Xiao, don't worry, I'll listen to you, and I will work hard to cultivate." Suo Eduo replied seriously.

Xiao Po said: "Go and do your own business first, I'll go and find Master Yelu."

Leaving the room and going to the general's hall, the guards along the way saw Xiao Poyi respectfully calling him general, but Xiao Po could feel the difference in the other's expression.The fact that he released the captives by himself must have spread throughout the city. Xiao Po remembered that when Wan Yan Bojun returned to the city, the city wall was densely packed with people watching the theater.

Walking up the steps, I saw Chi Lunzhu posing in the hall with her cheeks dragging from afar.

"Miss Lunzhu, isn't Master Yelu here?"

Chi Lunzhu turned to look at Xiao Po, his long and narrow eyelashes trembling slightly: "Lord Yelu went to the city wall with Xu Wenshu."

"Then why is Miss Lunzhu here alone in a daze?" Xiao Po asked puzzled.

Chi Lunzhu said: "I don't know either, I just feel weird in my heart, as if something is going to happen."

"Miss Lunzhu, don't worry. After returning to the army for two days, she suffered consecutive defeats and won't attack the city all at once."

Chi Lunzhu said: "Today I saw that you almost froze in the main hall, and I felt very sad. Hey, why can't everyone get along well, agree with each other, and fight against the enemy together? I used to play with my father in the army. I feel that everyone in the army is united, and that kind of atmosphere makes people excited. Only now do I realize that fighting is really not fun, it is very annoying."

There was no expression on Xiao Po's face, Chi Lunzhu's words were not similar to his thoughts.Maybe they are still too young to understand the cruelty of war. In order to divert the uneasy atmosphere of the conversation, Xiao Po changed the subject: "Miss Lunzhu, if this war is over, what do you want to do?"

Chi Lunzhu put his chin on the back of his hand, tilted his head to look at Xiao Po, and said quietly: "Go home and get married, just like what my mother said, girls should find someone to marry, you don't know, When I was going to go to war, my mother refused to let me come. I was the one who forced myself to come here."

Hearing these words, Xiao Po unexpectedly thought of his godmother, Qiu Ling, and A Qiuxiu who was waiting for him obsessively.

With a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Po smiled and said: "That's good, I'll help you be a good matchmaker when the war is over. My second senior brother Nalan Lei Nuo is very talented, handsome and unrestrained, but he is a good candidate."

Chi Lunzhu frowned slightly, "Just talking nonsense, it can't be uglier than you!"

Being teased by him like this, Xiao Po really didn't know how to answer, if he said he was uglier than himself, then how could he match him, if he said he was not as ugly as himself, it didn't mean he was ugly.It was important business, and he planned to ignore Chi Lunzhu, Xiao Po turned and left, Chi Lunzhu stood up and shouted: "Hey, why are you leaving, I was just joking with you, in fact, in fact, you are still pretty good-looking. "The last sentence was so small that only Chi Lunzhu could hear it.

Xiao Po left the hall and walked directly to the city wall.Yeluchu and Xu Song were pointing out the enemy's camp on the city wall to discuss countermeasures, and they stopped talking when they saw Xiao Po coming up.

Yelu Chu said: "We saw you beheading the general of the Hui army on the city wall. I think your matter has been dealt with."

Xiao Po nodded and clasped his fists to plead guilty: "Teacher Yelu, this matter is my fault, which affects the unity of the army." Yelu Chu said: "I don't blame you, if we really follow Sha Tuo's approach, I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to our army. .Now that you are going out of the city, you are still beheading generals and standing up, which has weakened the momentum of the enemy army, which is the best."

"Don't talk about this, let's discuss together and see how to defend the city." Yeluchu said here, pulled Xiao Po aside, stretched out his hand to point to the distant forest, and said, "You see the people over there?" Is the forest gone, the Hui army has a large group of people cutting down trees in the forest, and I don't know what their plan is."

Xiao Po looked in the direction of his finger, only to see trees swaying, and trees were brought down from time to time, but the opponent's army could not be seen under the cover of the trees.Xiao Po shook his head, and didn't know what the return army's plan was. After thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that the return army didn't have enough ladders to attack the city, so they felled wood to make ladders."

Xu Song leaned forward: "That's how we analyzed it just now."

Yelu Chu said: "If this is the case, after returning to the army to build the ladder, they must attack the city aggressively. They have lost two battles before and their morale is low. This time, in order to boost morale, they will definitely attack heavily. It's just that they don't know when the opponent will attack. , now we need to deploy our defenses as soon as possible.”

After negotiating, the three immediately left the city wall and ran back to the main hall.Yeluchu sent people to call Shatuo to discuss the matter. The soldiers searched all over the city, but they didn't see Shatuo. Yeluchu was very surprised. An old general of Shatuo came up to report: "Will General Sha go?" The ancestral hall of his inner house, where the spirit tablets of his three sons are placed."

Yeluchu thought it was reasonable, and ordered the soldiers to search for it in the ancestral hall of Shafu.

Xiao Po was on the side feeling very sad, General Sha's three sons died in the confrontation with the Hui army, but he released the Hui army prisoners, no wonder General Sha left the palace angrily.But Xiao Po will not regret what he did, and at worst, he will capture the general in the future and let General Sha vent his anger.

Thinking of this, Xiao Po asked for orders to look for Sha Tuo.

Yeluchu agreed, and Xiao Po followed the soldiers out of the palace. The soldiers knew the location of the ancestral hall in the Sha mansion, and they walked first, and Xiao Po followed all the way, thinking hard about what to say when they met Sha Tuo.

A quarter of an hour later, after entering the Sha Mansion, the soldier pointed to a house in front of him and said, "General Xiao, the ancestral hall is in front of you."

Xiao Po said: "Wait for me here, I will go in alone." Ordered, Xiao Po stepped close to the wooden door and knocked the door panel.

"Who is it?" Sha Tuo's voice came out, seeming to be much older suddenly.

"General Sha, I am Xiao Po!"

"What are you doing here?" Sato said coldly.

Xiao Po said: "Today I released the prisoners, I am really sorry for Old General Sha, I am here to apologize!"

"You go, leave me alone." Sha Tuo's voice was barely a little less cold.

Xiao Po said: "I just knelt at the door and asked General Sha to open the door for me to come in and worship the dead."

Sha Tuo didn't speak, only snorted, and soon fell into silence.Xiao Po stopped talking and knelt quietly outside the door.A quarter of an hour later, a soldier from a distance came over and said, "General Xiao, it's been a quarter of an hour, and Master Yelu is still waiting in the hall?"

"I know, you go outside and wait for me." Xiao Po's voice was firm.

Time passed quickly, and another quarter of an hour passed, and the soldiers outside the door came to remind again, Xiao Poyi said that: "I know, you go and wait for me outside." Sha Tuo in the room sighed heavily, but the door was still closed. open.

Xiao Po continued to kneel, his knees were numb from the pain.He didn't have the inner energy to enter his knee, so it hurts after kneeling for a long time.

It was time for a cup of tea, only to hear Sha Tuo's voice from inside: "Sha'er, go and open the door and let him in." The words stopped, and the door opened quickly, and a six or seven-year-old boy stood by the door, The chubby head turned up, staring at Xiao Po with rumbling eyes: "Grandpa told you to go in!"

Xiao Po got up, because he had been kneeling for a long time, he suddenly stood up and felt that his legs were not in control, and he fell to the door when he couldn't stand stably.His forehead hit the threshold, and a bloody hole was directly broken.The little boy came to help him and shouted, "Grandpa, his forehead is broken!"

Sha Tuoxin's long figure finally appeared at the door, illuminated by the candlelight in the room, even though it was broad daylight, his figure was stretched very long.
