Chapter 28 Chapter Thirteen

When Xiao Huan and I rushed to the tent where the banquet was set up, almost all the leaders of the various factions had arrived and sat down. Several heads who had a good relationship with Fenglai Pavilion asked Xiao Huan how he was after he sat down. Xiao Huan thanked the heads with a smile, and a clear voice suddenly came from the end of the long table: "The Central Plains Wulin has been trapped under the Bogda Peak for several months without doing anything. Now that Mr. Bai has arrived, the situation must be very serious. For a turn, the masters and I are all looking forward to it."

I followed the voice and saw that the person who was speaking was Lan Ruoyin, the acting head of the Emei Sect. The head of the Emei Sect, Jingqing Shitai, was unable to recover because of a broken tendon, and secondly, she injured Xiao Huan with despicable methods. Now everyone knows that she probably doesn't have the face to show up at the bottom of Bogda Peak, so the one who led the disciples of the Emei Sect this time is the acting head Lan Ruoyan. Speaking of this sect master Lan, he came from a family of officials and eunuchs. He was sent to the Emei School to practice martial arts when he was young because of his weak physique. At that time, he was already a leader among the young heroes, one of the best masters among the younger generation, and was highly valued by Mrs. Jingqing, otherwise she would not have made her mark in the Emei Sect, which always valued female disciples, and was appointed as the deputy master. Door.

I've heard of his name a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to be like this: long hair tied in a casual bun with black jade hairpins, hanging on his shoulders, and the indifferent phoenix eyes filled with light water vapor, revealing Seeing through this boundless mortal world of burnout, his face is as warm and gentle as jade, against the heavy rose-red fur on his shoulders, it is too bright to stare at. I smiled, squeezed Xiao Huan's hand, and spoke for the first time since the banquet began: "Sect Leader Lan, you want me, Fenglai Pavilion, to show some achievements to set an example for all factions?"

Lan Ruoyin didn't expect me to speak out suddenly, and to express his intentions so directly, raised her long eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth, which was originally smiling, raised even higher: "This girl is..." "This is what I am going to tell you today," Xiao Huan said with a smile, "From today onwards, my disciple Ling Cangcang is the Deputy Pavilion Master of Fenglai Pavilion, and she can handle all kinds of affairs with full authority. " As soon as these words came out, all the heads present were a little moved. After all, in their eyes, even if Xiao Huan was gone, the successor master of Fenglai Pavilion would be Su Qian. Now that I suddenly appeared, I was somewhat surprised.

I was still smiling, and when Xiao Huan finished speaking, I smiled and said, "All the leaders are smart people, so let's not talk in secret. This time we are going back and forth to Xinjiang to fight against the Tianshan faction, the head of our Fenglai Pavilion is better than you." The heads are a bit late, if you don't show some sincerity first, you will definitely feel that you can't justify it." Speaking of which, I smiled and turned the conversation around: "Sincerity Fenglai Pavilion will definitely be shown, I just hope that after seeing it, you can remember that the purpose of our Central Plains Wulin coming to Tianshan is to compare each other and wait and see. It’s better to support the righteous way of the martial arts, and to promote the righteousness of the martial arts!”

As I said, I got up and left my seat, bowed my head and cupped my fists to salute Xiao Huan, and raised my voice: "My subordinate, Ling Cangcang, the deputy head of the Fenglai Pavilion, is now asking the head of the pavilion to fight. Conquer the first hurdle, show off the power of Fenglai Pavilion, and show off the power of Wulin in the Central Plains!" Xiao Huan raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and his voice was calm and majestic: "Yes." I raised my head slightly and met his foggy eyes. He nodded slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. I cupped my fists and lowered my head heavily: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the Pavilion Master's expectations."

When he raised his head, his eyes swept over the faces of all the heads present, and then found Lan Ruoyin's playful smile in a row of solemn or solemn faces. The banquet ended soon, and the heads left. I quickly helped Xiao Huan back to the tent. Although he didn't vomit blood, I was shocked by his pale face and lips. After lying down on the couch in the tent, Xiao Huan didn't rest, but asked me to call in all the hall masters of each hall, and explained again, explaining the matter of appointing me as the deputy hall master, and arranging assistance I conquered the manpower of the first hurdle and the route strategy of the attack.

He leaned on the cushion, closed his eyes and coughed and adjusted his breath for a while every time he said a few words, but he knew the geographical conditions on Tianshan Mountain and the current situation very well, and his strategies and steps were arranged in an orderly manner. I listened carefully and memorized them one by one. After the confession, Xiao Huan finally fell asleep, and several hall masters and I withdrew to further discuss the details of the attack. As soon as she sat down in the tent next door, Su Qian laughed: "Okay, I have you. I asked for a deputy pavilion master behind our backs. I really rely on the pavilion master to spoil you."

I smiled and cupped my fists and said, "I'm ashamed." Although Xiao Huan gave the plan for attacking the first pass, he didn't explain who will lead and how to deploy it. We discussed it and finally decided that I and the other two hall masters will divide the troops into three groups. , led people to attack the pass, Su Qian led people to stay in the camp, and other churches either responded halfway, or left them for maneuvering, all arrangements were made. Tianshan Pai Haicha Palace is located at the height of a valley next to Bog Peak, backed by dangerous peaks, and the ridge in front is easy to defend and difficult to attack.The Tianshan faction built five checkpoints scattered on the necessary road, and sent people to guard them respectively. The Central Plains Wulin had been at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain for several months, and they only robbed the Tianshan faction at the first pass. It was just getting a firm foothold, and was soon kicked out.

Now it is the middle of winter, the snow line is moving down, and the mountains and rocks are covered with snow and ice, making it more dangerous and difficult to attack. The difficulty of attack is even more difficult than that in midsummer and late autumn. We will divide into three teams to launch the offensive when the ice and snow are slightly open in the afternoon until dusk falls. , barely occupied the checkpoint. We stayed in the checkpoint that night, and people from other factions also rushed to the checkpoint the next day. Although the Tianshan faction launched several offensives, they never snatched back the checkpoint. The Central Plains Wulin finally firmly occupied the checkpoint. Road checkpoint.

On the third day, Xiao Huan and the leaders of the various factions also arrived on the mountain. Since Fenglai Pavilion had fulfilled the agreement and laid down the first hurdle, the cooperation going forward was naturally smooth sailing, and future plans were made without much dispute. The house on the checkpoint is cramped, and the various factions gathered here can only be wronged and squeezed together, but even so, I arranged to leave a separate room for Xiao Huan, and after the discussion was over, I pulled him in and pressed him on the couch to rest . His complexion looked better than the previous few days, and his cough seemed to be less. Since he arrived at the checkpoint, he has been talking and laughing as usual. At this time, I lay down on the couch and didn't speak. After smiling, he closed his eyes. Rest your eyes. I helped him tuck the quilt and waited for a while to see that he was breathing evenly before exiting the room. After I left, a disciple was in charge of Xiao Huan's board, lodging and medication. I found that disciple and asked about Xiao Huan's situation in the past two days, and then took over the job again. When setting up the disheveled decoction in the small furnace, I wonder if I am used to taking care of Xiao Huan, why do these tasks so naturally?That's fine, anyway, I feel awkward when I think of others feeding him medicine and scrubbing his body. After decocting the medicine, he slowly filtered the medicine juice into a bowl, smelling the smell of the medicine, and suddenly felt that it was different from the medicines left by Li Mingshang.It wasn't that Xiao Huan was afraid of suffering and deliberately prescribed less unpleasant medicine for himself, right? Holding the medicine bowl, I shook my head, there was really nothing I could do about him. It was already afternoon when Xiao Huan fell asleep, I went to wake him up near dusk, had dinner together, and watched him drink his medicine. Putting down the medicine bowl, I kissed him on the cheek, and I was a little happy because his health improved: "Hurry up and knock down the Tianshan pie." He nodded and smiled, now the fog in his pupils was only a thin layer that was almost invisible, and after adding a smile, those deep pupils were bright and magnificent: "It won't be very slow." I nodded, looked at him and smiled, I had nothing to say in my mind for a while, I just hugged him and put my head on his shoulder. The tip of my nose rubbed against his neck, and the warm touch came through the skin. I couldn't help laughing again, why do I feel like I'm a bit stupid at the moment. She raised her head, kissed his thin lips lightly, and smiled: "Why do you feel as if something is about to be lost when you are a little happier?" He looked at me and smiled and didn't speak again. At night, I squeezed Xiao Huan to sleep on the same couch with Xiao Huan on the grounds of taking care of him nearby. He slept peacefully all night. Not only did he not cough up blood, but even his coughing decreased a lot. On the second day, the factions launched an attack and took down the second checkpoint in one go. The progress in the next few days was quite smooth. The third checkpoint and the two sides even had a fight. No matter how many fights, give up. Seeing that the Central Plains martial arts are about to hit the Haisha Palace, it is a little strange that Su Qian once said that the people of Lingbi Sect are also on the mountain, but so far, they have not been seen. The martial arts rumors in the world are unfathomable The old monster Tianshan, the head of the Tianshan faction, has never shown up, but it is certain that if the situation continues, the capture of Haicha Palace is just around the corner. I lead my disciples to kill and kill all day long, my eyes are full of gunpowder smoke and blood, my mind is full of thinking about how to occupy the next card, and I have no time to think about other things. This day, he had just finished explaining the tasks to his disciples at the fourth checkpoint, when he saw a white figure caught in the crowd from a distance. Xiao Huanzheng was talking to Master Xuezhen Qiu Shengdao, while walking slowly towards this side. The new wind on the checkpoint blew by, rolling up the fine snow and sand. He brushed the blown hair on his forehead with his hands, and the hem of his snow fox fur was slightly unfolded by the wind. However, occasionally some disciples stopped to greet him with fists in their hands. Suddenly I couldn't help it, I lifted my clothes and ran over, ran to him and hugged him: "Brother Xiao." His embrace is warm, with a faint medicinal fragrance, he hugged my shoulder and patted, smiling: "Cang Cang, let go, there are so many people here." I hugged him tighter angrily: "It doesn't matter." My face was turned up, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Master Xuezhen and Daoist Qiu Sheng both turned their heads sideways. Xiao Huan held my chin and lowered his head to kiss my lips lightly, then smiled: "Be obedient." The blood rushed to my forehead, and I was dizzy for a while. I could hardly see what was in front of me. I grabbed his sleeve for a long time before I could say: "It's the first time you kiss me on your own initiative." He smiled: "I know." I sniffed my nose, tipped my toes and kissed him back on the lips: "Although you still owe me a lot, I'll pay you back this time." He continued to laugh, and his bright deep pupils were full of smiles: "Then thank you?" I climbed off him and stood aside holding his sleeve: "You're welcome." Dazedly led by Xiao Huan, he continued to talk to Master Xuezhen, Qiu Shengdao, while walking. After a long time, he remembered in a ignorant way: Does what I just said sound stupid... Still in a daze, I heard a sudden commotion in front of the checkpoint, and a Fenglai Pavilion disciple hurried over to report: "There is a person outside the pass who wants to see the pavilion master by name." Shocked, I hurriedly asked before Xiao Huan could speak: "Just one person?" The disciple clasped his fists and replied: "It's a person, just standing outside the pass and asking to see the pavilion master by name, there is no other action." I nodded, raised my head and exchanged a look with Xiao Huan, and at the same time walked towards the parapet of the checkpoint. Looking out from the wall, there is a green figure standing on a rock in the white snow, the hem of his clothes dancing in the wind, like a snow lotus blooming in the ice and snow. Seeing us appearing on top of the wall, she raised her head and smiled slightly: "Mr. Bai, we meet again." With a clear voice, a slightly arrogant smile, and sharp eyes, the girl who suddenly appeared is Zhong Lin!That Zhong Lin who said he wanted to go out and walk the rivers and lakes alone. Zhong Lin took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and held it between his fingers, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Lingbi Sect Jade Dragon Snow Mountain can't live without Heaven, Master Zhong Lin, here to send a letter to Mr. Bai on behalf of the leader." Before she finished speaking, the letter in her hand As fast as a meteor, it flew over with a strong wind. Xiao Huan stretched out his finger, and lightly clamped one end of the letter paper, without taking it apart to read, nodded: "Deputy Hierarch Hard Work Zhong." The leader of the main hall of the Lingbi Sect is the vice-master of the Lingbi Sect, and Zhong Lin has already become the vice-master. Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Bai is polite." As he spoke, he waved his hands and turned around, revealing the broad sword on his back. I hurried to the wall and shouted, "Zhong Lin!" Zhong Lin stopped and didn't look back: "Vice Pavilion Master Ling, what advice do you have?" "You became the deputy leader of Lingbi Sect?" I asked. She chuckled: "Can't you see it? Vice Pavilion Master Ling?" "You stabbed Muyan?" I took a deep breath and asked again. Her back stiffened for a moment, but she still smiled: "What? Is that person still alive?" I took a deep breath, and my voice was trembling with anger: "Dead! Dead clean! The body has been burned to ashes! Are you at ease?" I was dizzy with anger, grabbed a handful of snow on the parapet, and rolled it up He threw it over, "You cowardly bastard! Zhong Lin, I didn't expect you to be so useless! You obviously like Muyan too, why did you hurt him! You don't even dare to grab the person you like, you didn't Use it to death!" The snowball hit Zhong Lin's back, her shoulders shook, and she sneered: "Yes, I'm useless, and it's better than you clinging to a relationship that is doomed to be fruitless, and you just wait until there is nothing left to go." Die or live!" I took a deep breath, my throat was sore, how could I say such vicious words? I gritted my teeth and sneered: "I, Ling Cangcang, don't have a friend like you, so get lost..." In the middle of speaking, my eyes suddenly went dark, and Xiao Huan grabbed my waist: "Cangcang." I didn't look at Zhong Lin again, turned around and hugged Xiao Huan, buried my face in his chest, and shook my head: "I'm fine." What right do I have to scold Zhong Lin?I'm actually angry with myself, I know better than anyone the feeling after hurting the one I love with my own hands, it's not just as simple as regret, and it's not just that I hate so much that I want to destroy myself - that feeling, absolutely It will not be forgotten, it will become more and more clear as time goes by, and when you think about saving it, you usually find that there is nothing left. Xiao Huan hugged me quietly, patted my shoulder after a while and smiled: "Isn't it going to cry for so long?" I raised my head, wiped away the tears on my face, and glanced at him: "Smiling so happily, is it so interesting to see little girls quarreling?" He smiled and shook his head: "Fortunately, it's interesting to watch the deputy head of Lingbi Sect, the world's largest religion, and the deputy head of Fenglai Pavilion quarrel until they throw snowballs." When I thought of the snowball that I threw over angrily just now, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Thinking of the letter that Zhong Lin just sent, I snatched the envelope from Xiao Huan's hand and looked at it. There was only a piece of plain paper inside, with a line of beautiful words written: Haisha Palace presents it with both hands. I raised my head to look at Xiao Huan, he smiled slightly as if he had expected the contents of the letter a long time ago. Master Chen wanted to say that Haisha Palace was not captured by us, but was given away by her. Since Xiao Huan came, the Central Plains Wulin has been victorious, and the long-standing Tianshan faction seems to be waiting for Xiao Huan to break it. It doesn't matter who wins or loses between the Central Plains Wulin and Tianshan faction. She really just set up a game in Tianshan , just waiting to take Xiao Huan's life. I quickly tore the letter and the envelope into pieces, threw it to the cliff outside the female wall, clapped my hands, and turned to Xiao Huan with a smile: "Let me stew mutton again tonight, the soup from last time It tastes really good." Xiao Huan nodded with a smile: "Okay." I held hands with him to find the kitchen, but there was nothing in the kitchen, so I asked people to find mutton and ingredients, which alarmed a group of good disciples.In the end, they ran down the mountain and killed a new fat sheep and brought it up. Those who washed the meat, and those who supported the pot, actually stewed mutton in a large iron pot. Disciples from other factions on the fourth checkpoint also came running with their bowls. A group of people completely vented their depression of fighting for days, eating and grabbing, laughing and laughing, no matter how big or small, I plunged into the crowd and snatched two bowls of mutton soup after a lot of hard work.Squeezing out to find Xiao Huan, the two ran to a corner and sat in an empty corner. In the middle of the month, through the jagged female wall, you can see the full moon in the sky, the clear light of the moonlight is evenly sprinkled on the continuous peaks covered with white snow, the sky is the color of deep sapphire. Holding the hot soup warmed my whole body, I put down the bowl, leaned my head on Xiao Huan's shoulder, closed my eyes and shook my legs. He took a sip of the mutton soup I brought and put it aside. At this moment, he stretched out his arms to wrap around my waist: "Cang Cang, are you tired?" I let out a "huh" sound, still shaking my legs with my eyes closed. He smiled, and patted my waist with his hand: "You are too tired these days, I will give you less work in the future." I said "hmm" again, raised one eyelid and looked up at him: "Brother Xiao, do pregnant people get tired easily?" He narrowed his eyes and smiled softly: "Yes, but that will have to wait until two or three months after conception." I sighed: "It's been so long." He smiled: "Yes, it will take at least this long to show symptoms." I couldn't help writing, grabbed his hand, got up and kissed his pale cheeks, and shielded him from the increasingly wet and heavy cold wind on the snow-capped mountains after nightfall: "Your hands are completely cold, go back to your room." He smiled and nodded, holding my arm to stand up. Even if the factions on the fourth checkpoint are crowded, I still want to come to an empty room. After going in, make the bed first, let Xiao Huan lie on the couch to rest, then tidy up the messy room, throw out the messy things, before returning to the collapse, Xiao Huan has fallen asleep with his eyes closed, Breathing gently, the head is slightly tilted by the pillow, and the thin lips are light pink, drawing a soft arc. I smiled quietly, falling asleep really faster and faster. Wrapping the quilt for him lightly, she also got into the quilt and lay down next to him. She fell asleep that night, and she was speechless all night.
