In early summer, the Nanhai army on the grassland was training, and the Nanyun City army was also training.

The difference is that the Nanhai army practiced cavalry and archery, while the Nanyun City army dug trenches on hundreds of miles of battlefield from three towns to Nanyun City.

Li Xiuyuan copied the tactics from Qingfeng Valley, the Great Chu Kingdom of Shura Heaven.

On the 200-mile battlefield, he asked Nalanyu to build three huge trenches, saying that he could not allow the Nanhai army to reach Nanyun City in one fell swoop.

At least one-third of the casualties must be paid by the opponent when attacking these three trenches.

Wang Ruyi, who had just arrived in Nanyun City, was practicing horseback riding with Yelu Mingzhu on the grass outside the city. Although he also learned to ride horseback with his master on the way back to the imperial city from the Tianshan Sword Sect.

It wasn't until he came to southern Xinjiang and compared with Yelu Mingzhu that Wang Ruyi realized that she was far from this sister.

The two of them had been going crazy outside the city for an hour. Wang Ruyi, who was a little timid at first, became more and more familiar with Yelu Mingzhu and became more and more courageous.

He seemed to want to learn how to ride and shoot in three days.

"Sister Ruyi, why don't Sister Xiaolian come with you to ride horses outside the city?" Yelu Mingzhu was tired and asked Wang Ruyi, who was riding his horse.

Wang Ruyi shook her head and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaolian said she wanted to go shopping, so she asked Sister Feiyan to take her with her."

Yelu Mingzhu sighed and said quietly: "It is estimated that there will be a war in less than a month. If you can't learn to ride a horse, you can hide in Nanyun City and watch the fun."

Wang Ruyi flicked the riding whip and said with a smile: "Master said that starting from tomorrow, Brother Ergou and Fu Sheng will start practicing horse riding. They are more timid."

Yelu Mingzhu shook his head and chuckled: "Tomorrow it will be your turn to teach them. I want to talk to the master. He will go back to the town in two days."

"Is the old monk going home? I have to buy some delicious food to bring to my mother..."

When Wang Ruyi heard that the old monk was leaving Nanyun City and returning to the small town, he couldn't help but also thought about going shopping.

Yelu Mingzhu took a look and thought, come on, this guy probably doesn't have the heart to practice anymore.

So he led the horse and walked towards the city. As he walked, he said, "Okay, I'll go shopping with you."

While he was talking, there was a cry in the sky. When he looked up, he saw a black lightning falling towards him.

"Uncle Xiaohei."

The two women shouted in unison and let out a cheer. Yelu Mingzhu smiled and said: "Uncle Xiao Hei, where is brother Watson?"

Xiao Hei flew over and stood on Yelu Mingzhu's shoulders, looked at Wang Ruyi and smiled and said: "Xiao Ruyi has grown up too, go find the old monk first, and we will talk about your brother later."

Yelu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly jumped on her horse, looked at Wang Ruyi and said, "Sister, go find my master first, and we'll talk about the shopping later."

After that, the three of them entered the city gate like a whirlwind and headed towards the city lord's mansion.

"Uncle Xiaohei, is my brother okay?"

"Uncle Xiao Hei, was Brother Watson captured by bandits?"

"Don't worry, that kid won't die."

…

It was a lively time in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Hua Luoyu was dragged by Xiao Lian to go shopping, while Ouyang Dongli was planning to make arrows with Na Lan Yu.

Hu Ge sat quietly and made tea for everyone. The old monk held a cup of tea, but thought it was time to leave Nanyun City. There were too many people and it was not a place he liked.

It is better to be still than to move. The old monk is going to see Minghui who is practicing.

Before the old monk could tell Ouyang Dongli about his decision to leave, Yelu Mingzhu hurried in with Xiao Hei.

He took the old monk's hand and said: "Master, help me, brother Watson was seriously injured by the bandits."

The old monk frowned, looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Xiao Hei flew to the old monk, whispered in his ear, then took a bunch of space rings and put them on the table, looked at Yelu Pearl and said, "Here, pick one."

Yelu Mingzhu was stunned and thought, "What about Brother Watson? Did you share the money with us?"

Even so, he still stopped Wang Ruyi's hand and stepped forward, looked at Xiao Hei and asked: "Is this given by Uncle Master or Brother Watson?"

Xiao Hei was so angry that he yelled: "Is there any difference? Isn't what's his mine?"

The old monk sighed, looked at everyone and said, "Take one each. This is a little bit of Xiao Hei and Watson's wishes. Don't let it down."

Ouyang Dongli's face turned red and he thought to himself that he still had to get the little guy's red envelope?

Even if it was the case, Wang Ruyi still picked up two and put them in his hands. The old god said on the ground: "This is for the master, senior, help her take it!"

After saying that, he took two more: "This is for sister Xiaolian, this is for Fu Sheng..."

After everyone had taken one, Nalan Yu looked at the old monk and said, "Senior, take a few back too. The temple in the town still needs to be repaired. Watson's parents should also score a few..."

After saying that, the person who picked up the heads from the town picked up a few heads and placed them respectfully on the table in front of the old monk.

The old monk nodded and said: "Although I don't need it, Ming Hui and Watson's parents do need it, so I will put it away for them."

He got up, looked at Yelu Mingzhu and said, "Disciple, you have to give one to Lan Feiyan. She will leave Nanyun City with her master in a few days."

Yelu Mingzhu was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the day of departure would come so soon, and even the master would have to leave here.

Silently taking a space detoxification pill from the table, Yelu Mingzhu stepped forward and took the old monk's hand and said, "Master, what should I do about my brother Watson?"

The old monk thought for a while and replied softly: "I'm afraid he won't be able to come back now. Since the bandits have been eliminated, let him continue to practice in Yinshan Mountain."

In the old monk's opinion, Watson, who was seriously injured, might not be able to ride a horse. It would be troublesome if he encountered the South China Sea army on the way.

If there is one place in the grassland that is the safest right now, it is naturally the bandit's nest that was taken away by Watson and Xiao Hei.

The army of the South China Sea did not care about a bandit's den that was no longer occupied, and the herdsmen on the grassland did not dare to go.

Thinking of this, the old monk smiled and said: "You happen to be going shopping, so I'll buy some more food for your brother Watson, and ask Xiao Hei to bring it to him in two days."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei took another space ring and placed it in front of the old monk.

He said softly: "Watson said that the monster meat inside is divided into two parts, one part is kept and the other part is taken back to the town." After that, he added some words in front of the old monk.

The old monk didn't say anything for a while, but nodded slightly, looked at Nalan Yu and said, "You guys should take a good rest these two days and adjust your state of mind..."

Then he looked at Yelu Mingzhu's hand and laughed: "Master will leave Nanyun City tomorrow, do you have anything else to say?"

Yelu Mingzhu's eyes turned red, and she took his hand and shouted, "Will master always wait there for Mingzhu?"

The old monk thought for a while and smiled lightly: "I may wait until autumn to go to Tianshan to see if Li Xiuyuan's wine is ready."

Since the old Taoist priest has already been to Tianshan, it means that Li Xiuyuan is currently in considerable trouble.

Otherwise, he would not let this precious disciple go unnoticed in the Five Realms. He would have to take a look to feel at ease.

After Yelu Mingzhu heard this, she couldn't help but said quietly: "Oh, Brother Watson, Master can't stand it anymore."

Lao Shang nodded and whispered to her: "You also know that what your master needs now is to cultivate his mind, not to practice hard like you."

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Hei next to him and said: "You come to my room tonight and we will make a careful discussion. Judging from the current situation, Watson does not need to rush back."

Nalan Yu who was beside him became anxious when he heard this. He looked at the old monk and said, "If he doesn't come back now, the three towns will fall into the hands of the South China Sea army. I'm afraid it won't be possible for a long time."

The old monk shook his head and said softly: "If he can't come back, just let him stay on the grassland. The eagle on the Tianshan Mountains can still fly on the grassland."

Xiao Hei's arrival made everyone happy, especially Wang Ruyi. This was the biggest gift she had received since she grew up.

When Hua Luoyu led Xiao Lian and Lan Feiyan back to the city lord's mansion and got her share, even Hua Luoyu couldn't help but scream.

"Oh, Watson and Xiao Hei are pretty good. They are a bit like the National Preceptors back then. They did this in a grand manner, and they will be remembered by my brothers and sisters for many years."

Lan Feiyan was the happiest, and together with the gold coins Yelu Mingzhu gave her before, this was enough to cover her expenses at the Royal Academy for decades.

Finally, Yelu Mingzhu thought that it would be difficult for Lan Feiyan to be alone in the Royal Academy, and asked Nalan Yu if she wanted two more space rings.

It was said that two copies would be given to Watson's brothers and sisters, and an extra portion would be given to Lan Feiyan.

She will leave here with the old monk one day. The resources she needs, Li Xiuyuan, have already been given to the old monk, so naturally she doesn't need to worry about them anymore.

Not to mention the Golden Tiger King Dried Meat brought back by Xiao Hei, it is estimated that Wang Ruyi, Fu Sheng, Er Gou and others can break through two realms.

In the battlefield of southern Xinjiang, it is your own cultivation that will give you a better chance of survival.

Even Yelu Mingzhu understands this truth. Thinking about how powerful Watson is, she didn't expect that this time he would still be seriously injured by bandits in the depths of Yinshan Mountain.

Yelu thought for a while, and it seemed that he needed to explain this truth to his brothers and sisters in private.

That night, the old monk did not give the dried monster meat to Nalan Yu. Instead, he talked to Xiao Hei in the room for most of the night, and even Yelu Mingzhu was not allowed to listen.

Not to mention Nalan Yu, Lao Shang meant that only Xiao Hei and himself knew about this matter.

The secret that no one knows is the real secret.

…

While Xiao Hei was discussing future plans with the old monk, Watson was lying alone in the depths of Yin Mountain recuperating from his injuries.

In a large tent in the Royal Court of the Lan Family, Yun Zhongchen from Feixian Island was waiting for Long Shaoyun, the fourth master of the Yinshan Bandits.

Looking at Long Shaoyun, who had a weathered face and was unconscious, Yun Zhongchen had a bad feeling: "What happened that night? Could it be..."

Long Shaoyun picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank a large bowl, looked at Yun Zhongchen and said with a bitter smile: "Dead, all of them are dead!"

"What? Your first boss, what about the second boss? They are all in the middle stage of transcending the tribulation, and there are thousands of your brothers? How could this happen?"

Yun Zhongchen was startled and couldn't help but scream: "Who can lead an army to destroy you under my nose? Why didn't I receive the news?"

Long Shaoyun sat slumped on a chair nearby, looked at Yun Zhongchen and replied in a daze: "There is no army, only a young monk and a talking crow..."

After spending half an hour, Long Shaoyun told Yun Zhongchen what happened.

Then he murmured to himself: "I'm still confused. Where did they come from? Suddenly, all the brothers died overnight... The boss and the others also died."

Although he has not yet stepped across the threshold, the first, second, and third masters are all masters of the realm of overcoming tribulations. How can he say that he is gone and that he is gone?

Yun Zhongchen did not expect that a fire that night would actually wipe out all the bandits he had finally persuaded, and he was furious for a moment.

In his opinion, there is a lot of wealth in the bandits' den. Since all the people are dead, it can naturally be used to pay for the military expenses of the South China Sea army.

Thinking of this, he looked at Long Shaoyun and said quietly: "Take a few people and kill him with a carbine!"
