The two talked for a long time, until Qingyu understood what Xiaohei meant, and knew that every effort was just to gain a chance to win.

As Xiao Hei said, you may not win if you make these efforts.

But if you do nothing and wait for the Lord to attack, you will definitely die.

And Qingyu has previous experience outside Danzhou City, and now she, Xiaohei, naturally believes it. After all, how can she have any experience in fighting?

If the Queen hadn't seen that her cultivation had surpassed hers, she wouldn't have dared to let Qingyu come to the front line.

When the sun set, Qingyu went to arrange the dinner for the evening, and Xiaohei followed her to the kitchen.

I personally cooked a pot of black dragon meat soup brought back from the secret realm.

This thing has no effect on Qingqing, Yan'er, and the old shopkeeper, but it is the best treasure for Qingyu.

The war is coming, and he wants to help Qingyu break through the realm again so that she can have the strength to protect herself on the battlefield.

Qingyu didn't care, as long as what Xiaohei gave him, it was all right.

She also believed in the correct judgment made by Xiao Hei. Now the situation in the dispute between the two countries was mixed, but it was gradually getting clearer. In the final battle, strength would definitely determine everything.

Letting the soup cook slowly, Xiao Hei returned to the living room and sat quietly on the table, looking at the teacup in front of him and meditating quietly.

??????????????? It is impossible for him to go to the battlefield for the battle between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty again.

After burning the opponent's food and fodder once, he naturally cannot repeat the same trick. Now if he returns to the original battlefield in southern Xinjiang.

My brother is not here, Lao Shang is not here, and Watson is not here either.

Everything depends on him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the map hanging on the wall, thinking that if he were a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he would set up a camp at the Dingzhou City Security Office...

"Yan'er, this broth is good. You and your sister should eat more."

At nightfall, Qingyu looked at the two little girls who were bored and waiting for dinner, and said softly: "Eat more so that you can grow faster."

"Sister, you should eat more of this meat." Yan'er said without raising her head, "Sister and I have eaten it many times."

Xiao Hei shook his head, put some slices of soy beef into the bowls of the two little girls, and poured a glass of wine for the old shopkeeper.

He held a glass of wine and said with a smile: "It's useless for them to eat anymore. You can go back to the house to rest after eating." After that, he glanced at the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper laughed, looked at the two little girls and said, "You have to think about returning to the imperial city as soon as possible, and don't delay their studies in the academy."

Xiao Hei sighed, looked at his two sisters and said, "We have to wait until my brother helps your sister Qingyu finish this battle."

Qingqing nodded: "It's okay, my sister and I are waiting for my brother here."

After the grown-up Qingqing met her mother, she seemed to have grown up a lot overnight and became more sensible than her younger sister.

Yan'er naturally follows wherever her brother is.

After hearing what my sister said, I nodded: "Wherever my sister is, Yan'er will be there. Well, and I can't starve."

Xiao Hei's heart ached, and he suddenly remembered the days when he was starving in the Shenlong Continent.

He couldn't help but sigh quietly and said: "If you don't study well with your sister, you will starve."

When Qingqing heard this, she immediately felt like a gentleman.

He looked at his sister and said, "When you get up tomorrow morning, you have to endorse it before you can eat!"

Qingyu looked at the three of them and chuckled, "By the way, you are really good at teaching others."

Xiao Hei shook his head, looked at her and said seriously: "The same goes for you, try to break through your cultivation to the realm of Nascent Soul before the war begins."

There was one more thing he didn't say, but he had prepared an elixir for each of Qingyu, Gao Yue'er, and the old Taoist priest, an elixir that could change the fate of the three of them.

Since the old Taoist priest and the princess of Northern Qi are practicing in the snowy mountains, he can help Qingyu enter the realm of Nascent Soul first.

As for how high the three of them can cultivate in the future, and whether they can break through the void and ascend, that is not his concern.

Xiao Hei's casual remark frightened Qing Yu into speechlessness for a moment.

Because the old Taoist priest told her that it would probably take ten to fifteen years to break through to Nascent Soul.

As soon as Xiao Hei came, he set an impossible goal for him.

This was what surprised and worried her at the same time.

Seeing Qing Yu's nervous look, Xiao Hei could only say softly: "Don't worry, drink two more bowls of soup, and go back to the house later to carefully understand the process of your breakthrough."

The old shopkeeper also said: "Xiao Hei is right. Sometimes this situation does not break for ten years, but as long as there is a chance, it will give you a big surprise."

According to the old shopkeeper, as long as Qingyu eats Xiaohei's elixir, it will no longer be difficult to ascend to the sky and leave this world.

Seeing that even Qingqing and Yan'er didn't express surprise, Qingyu finally couldn't help but sigh quietly.

He reached out and touched Qingqing's head and said with a smile, "You two little monsters."

…

The next day, when Qingqing and Yan'er were studying in the living room, Xiaohei had already followed Qingyu to the outside of the city.

Tens of thousands of troops cut off the water from the river protecting the city, lined up in a row, and re-widened the ditch of the city moat according to Xiao Hei's request.

Qingyu personally took charge, while Xiaohei watched for a while, gave some instructions to the soldiers, and then walked into the wilderness outside the city.

"Xiao Hei, what are you going to do?"

Qingyu watched Xiao Hei walking away alone, and shouted uneasily.

Xiao Hei looked back at her and smiled: "I can't say, I just wanted to take a look around to see how they are going to fight this big battle."

Qingyu thought about it and realized that it was too early to leave the war, so she didn't send anyone to follow him.

From her point of view, with Xiao Hei's abilities, he would naturally not be afraid of encountering any ambush here.

But she didn't expect that Xiao Hei would be gone for an hour or two, and it wasn't until half past noon that he returned to the living room of the city lord's mansion.

At this time, Qingyu was already playing with two little guys who had full bellies.

Seeing her muddy brother come in, Yan'er couldn't help looking at him with disgust and asked: "Brother went to play in the mud again, and sister said Yan'er is not allowed to play anymore?"

In Qingqing's memory, before Yan'er transformed, she liked to sneak into the yard and play in the mud alone when her brother was not around.

Unexpectedly, my sister, who has stopped playing in the mud for a long time, is still thinking about this matter.

At that moment, I couldn't help laughing and said, "If my brother goes again in the afternoon, he can take his sister with him. She hasn't played in the mud for a while."

Xiao Hei ignored the two of them, but looked at Qingyu and said: "You broke through the second realm last night. You need to meditate more at night these days."

Qingyu didn't expect Xiaohei to actually care about her own cultivation, so she couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "I'm waiting for you."

Xiao Hei picked up the rice left for him on the table, picked up a chopstick and replied: "Just wait, it will be as you wish before the war."

Yan'er was thinking about playing in the mud, so she came up and sat next to Xiao Hei and asked softly: "Brother, are you going to play in the mud in the afternoon?"

Xiao Hei shook his head, pointed at Qingyu and said, "Let sister Qingyu take you there in the afternoon. The moat outside the city is full of mud."

After finishing what he was worried about, how could Xiao Hei think about going out again?

He just wanted to wash up after eating and then sleep until dawn tomorrow. After all, he had not slept well these days.

I originally thought that everything would be fine after returning to Zhou Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the two armies were about to go to war, and Qingyu came to Dingzhou City on behalf of the Queen.

He didn't even have a place to hide.

When Qingyu heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. She touched Yan'er's head and said with a smile, "If you want to play in the mud, then follow me for a walk outside the city."

Qingqing glanced at her brother and was worried that her sister would go wild alone, so she said, "I want to go too."

Xiao Hei waved his hand, looked at the two of them and replied: "Go, let you feel the cruelty of war."

Qingyu sighed, looked at the two of them and said, "Go to sleep for a while, and then I'll take you to play when you wake up."

The two little guys ran out of the living room with a bang.

Being able to play outside the city must be more interesting to them than in the city, not to mention that there will be a war here in less than ten days.

Since the two met Xiao Hei, they have never seen the two armies fighting.

Xiao Hei thought for a while, looked at Qing Yu and said: "Remember, the things you are asked to do must be prepared before the arrival of the Northern Qi army. Don't miss the opportunity."

Qingyu nodded, looked at him and replied seriously: "Don't worry, we can't miss it, we are working day and night!"

"Also, release three batches of hidden sentries, one for fifty miles, to prevent the Northern Qi army from sudden attack."

Xiao Hei said seriously: "As long as we are not attacked by the opponent, we will be a little more confident."

…

From that day on, Xiao Hei never left the city lord's mansion again.

On the other hand, the two little girls followed Qing Yu every day, either to supervise work outside the city or to purchase the items Xiao Hei needed in the city.

The old shopkeeper is the same as Xiao Hei. Apart from eating every day, he also locks himself in the room to meditate and practice.

Everything is as if nothing happened.

Everything is moving quietly, just waiting for the last moment to arrive.

The army of Dingzhou City spent eight days and eight nights to widen the moat by five feet and deepen it by two feet. The current moat has changed from a small ditch of five feet wide to ten feet wide.
