"No wonder their kung fu is so hard." Tang Li finally understood.

Hua Yuxi continued: "No one knows their names, even they use code names to refer to each other. Growing up in such an environment, they have long been tempered to be ruthless and ruthless in doing things, and this

This is also the scariest place in the Red Ghost Sect.”

At this time, Yunhe and two other generals came to Lanqiao to report the battle damage of their respective troops.

One of these two generals is named Meng Xiliang. He is forty-seven years old and has a stable style. He is a middle-level general who is highly valued by Zhu Di. The other is named Du Shiqi. He is less than forty years old because he likes to mingle with his young soldiers.

, was also jokingly called "Du Shiqi" by the soldiers.

Meng Xiliang and Du Shiqi were transferred to Lanqiao when Zhu Di handed over his nearly 20,000 Peking troops to Lanqiao, and they respectively served as the left and right deputy generals in Lanqiao's surprise attack team.

After nearly a month of expedition and escaping into this mountain, Lan Qiao and General Meng Du were already familiar with each other. They also admired Lan Qiao's bravery and military ability. They were as close as one of their own.

After clearing the battlefield, the core members of the raid team, including Lan Qiao, Feng Yeling, Yun He, Tang Li, Ling Yufei, Meng Xiliang and Du Shiqi, gathered in the spacious lobby on the ground floor of Guanlou and sat down around a round table.

Get ready to start today's military meeting while enjoying fresh fish cooked in a copper pot.

They have been stationed in Crescent Moon Bay for more than ten days, and military meetings are held every evening to discuss the latest developments of various events, their respective responsibilities, and changes in the situation of each department.

Hua Feng, Hua Yuxi and Bai Xueyin also participated in the discussion as "family members".

Today, due to blocking Xu Huizu's fierce attack, the atmosphere at the table was very lively. Feng Yeling "deliberately" gave up the two seats on the left and right of Lan Qiao to the two grey-haired girls who had not seen each other for a long time, while she sat on the table with Hua Yuxi and

Between Tang Li.

While everyone was eating boiled fish, they reviewed today's war. There were both bragging and self-bragging that made people laugh and scold, and there was also in-depth discussion of various details to further screen out hidden dangers in all aspects.

Du Shiqi was the most active. He greatly appreciated Hua Yuxi's strategy of using poisonous smoke to guard the mouth of the gorge. He raised his thumb and said: "In this way, our troop strength going to the gorge to fight will be greatly reduced, allowing the soldiers to take turns fighting and fighting.

Rest, so that you won’t be afraid that Xu Huizu will use the numbers to fight, otherwise he will be dragged down sooner or later."

Meng Xiliang said cautiously: "Xu Huizu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If he is blocked in the gorge, he will think of other ways. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Tang Li smiled and said: "Then let Xu Huizu have a headache for a few days. At least today, we can sit back and relax."

Everyone's emotions became high again as they talked. If alcohol had not been banned in the army, they would have been drunk long ago.

Lan Qiao threw a piece of fish meat on the ground, clapped his hands, and then heard the sound of soft footsteps, Xiao Ling and Xiao Bai, two civet cats, rushed down the stairs.

Xiao Ling ran fast and was the first to pick up the fish meat on the ground. Just as he was about to raise his neck and swallow it, he turned around and saw Xiao Bai showing an aggrieved look, and fed the fish meat into Xiao Bai's mouth again.

Xiaobai ate the fish, stretched out his head and rubbed Xiaoling's neck to express affection.

Hua Yuxi hadn't seen Xiaoling for a long time, so she picked it up lovingly, and while stroking the soft fur on its back, she said to Lan Qiao: "I didn't expect you to bring them too."

"Qing Huan was thoughtful." Lan Qiao smiled and picked up another piece of fish and fed it to Xiao Ling. "He thought that these two little guys might be useful when we go south this time, so he brought them from Peiping.

come out."

Although Feng Yeling was used to the existence of Xiaoling Xiaobai, he was still a little afraid of such fluffy creatures by nature, so he couldn't help but hide far away and let Hua Yuxi play with them.

After finishing the boiled fish, Bai Xueyin put the watermelon on the table, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and let everyone share it.

Du Shiqi was responsible for guarding the Xuanshan defense line, and was praised by everyone as "the first achievement of the day" and got the opportunity to get the watermelon first.

He said "I'm sorry", but actually his mouth was already watering. As soon as he picked up a medium-sized piece of watermelon, he immediately exclaimed: "It's actually an ice watermelon!"

"Wow, so sweet!"

The last sentence was naturally his exclamation after eating it.

Lan Qiao looked at Bai Xueyin and saw the latter's pursed smile. Naturally, he knew that it was her handiwork again, and then thought of the scene in Wulin when Bai Xueyin made ice melon for them.

It's hot now, and everyone has just eaten boiled fish. There is nothing more refreshing and enjoyable than eating a piece of iced watermelon.

A large watermelon weighing more than ten kilograms was "carved up" by everyone in less than a moment, and almost everyone looked unsatisfied.

Du Shiqi rubbed his belly and sighed: "If I can eat such a mouthful of ice melon, even if I die in the war tomorrow, I will have no regrets."

Meng Xiliang also said: "Although the words "Seventeen" are a bit exaggerated, this melon is indeed very precious. We have no worries about food near Wanshi Lake, but it is difficult to find fruits nearby. Over time, the wild fruits on a tree are more expensive than

The fish in this lake are even rarer."

After everyone finished eating, they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, knowing that it was time to leave time for Lan Qiao and his two beloved wives to reunite after a long separation, so they left the building one after another.

Hua Yuxi naturally guessed what they meant, blushing and lowering her head, while Feng Yeling took the initiative to put away the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Lan Qiao reached out with both hands and took Hua Yuxi and Bai Xueyin respectively. While pulling them upstairs, he asked curiously: "How did you know I'm here?"

Although Bai Xueyin knew that it was a bit "inappropriate" to follow Lan Qiao upstairs like this, she couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness, so she still lowered her head in shame, her body limply let her hand be held by Lan Qiao, and she followed in confusion.

He walked upstairs.

Hua Yuxi smiled slyly and said: "This is a fate that was destined more than ten years ago. The story of your Lan Shaoxia Wanshi Lake to suppress the bandits was compiled into the "Young Heroes". I have read it so many times, and once I heard it

If you say you lead your army into the mountains south of the capital, I can naturally guess where you are going."

Finally, she paused and said: "This is called knowing your husband better than your wife."

Lan Qiao was still puzzled: "But Wanshi Lake is so big, covering hundreds of miles in a circle. Even if you know the names of these places from that story book, how can you accurately find the location of Crescent Moon Bay?

"

Hua Yuxi snorted and did not answer any more. Looking under the dim light, her cheeks seemed to be a little red.

Feng Yeling's voice floated out from under the stairs: "This little girl must have been unable to bear the infatuation and found a chance to do it once according to the description in the storybook, so she remembers it so clearly..."

"Xiao Ye!" Hua Yuxi screamed with shame and anger, as if she wanted to rush downstairs and pinch Feng Yeling who exposed her secret, but she was also afraid that once she left, Bai Xueyin would be the first to get to Lanqiao, so she had to stamp her feet on the spot.

, then glared hard at Bai Xueyin who was laughing next to him, and went to the second floor of the Guan Building with the latter.

Since the other two ladies were not expected to come in advance, Yunhe only made two large rooms on the second floor when designing the building, so that Lan Qiao and Feng Yeling could sleep in the same room or in separate rooms.

Hua Yuxi looked at the layout of the two rooms and said bitterly: "It seems that we have to draw lots. Whoever wins the lottery will go to sleep in the husband's room."

Bai Xueyin smiled and said: "Sister Hua won't do anything with the signature, right? It's okay. If you really miss her too much, I can give you tonight."

"Who cares!" Hua Yuxi yelled and looked at Lan Qiao who couldn't help but snicker, "Why are you laughing? Are you so sweet? It makes all our sisters salivate over you. Humph, I'll punish you tonight

I'm going to sleep alone, and Xue'er and I are going to have a late-night talk with Xiao Ye and talk about our girls' private conversations."

During this period, Hua Yuxi and Bai Xueyin were almost inseparable. When the two got more familiar with each other, Hua Yuxi directly called Bai Xueyin "Xue'er".

Feng Yeling's voice floated up from downstairs again: "No, I have good intentions and won't argue with you tonight. If you don't want to, sister, I won't be polite."

Hua Yuxi held her head and said: "Xiaoye, you are so presumptuous that others show you that you are proud of someone. He..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard the door downstairs being knocked open with a crash. Yun He ran in panting and said, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong over there at the lake!"

Lan Qiao was excited and hurriedly followed Yunhe to the lake. The three girls, Fenghuaxue, also followed suit.

It can be seen that the water level of the lake tonight is lower than when Lanqiao looked at it this morning. The area of ​​​​the lake beach has expanded outward by more than ten feet. Even the bamboo raft that the two gray girls came with was stranded on the beach.

"This is definitely not a normal tidal fluctuation." Lan Qiao's heart froze, and he suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.
