Chapter 252 Loss(1/2)
Ten days later.
Imperial Capital, Gewuyuan.
As a place where array masters live and work, the environment of Tianwen Prison is very elegant.
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, green plants are covering the area, attics and pavilions are falling side by side, and the lake is rippled by the wind.
The sun is very warm at noon in summer. Some formation masters wearing yellow and blue uniforms are walking in the spacious avenue with laughter and chatting. Tall martial arts disciples carefully carry boxes of "goods" from the warehouse to the warehouse.
On the beast cart, everything is in order.
But soon this peace was broken by two figures.
Two people, one old and one young.
The old man has a white beard and a fairy-like appearance, but there is a hint of flattery on his face.
The girl is wearing a water-blue underskirt, with shoulders as if they were cut, a waist as plain as a regular one, and a gentle look on her face with a hint of anger.
The two of them walked all the way out from the warehouse, walking very quickly. When they saw the two of them, even the top Tianjia Formation Master in the Gewuyuan bowed their heads respectfully.
However, the young and old paid no attention to these people's intentions.
The girl walked out angrily.
The old man laughed along and said haha:
"Xinyao. Xinyao, don't be angry. Oh, Xinyao, don't be angry."
Xu Xinyao suddenly stopped and stared at Jiang He with a pair of beautiful eyes. Even if she was angry, her voice was still as refreshing as water:
"Master, how did you agree to Xinyao in the first place?"
"Uh"
Jiang He opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Xinyao, what are you talking about?"
Xu Xinyao stared at Jiang He silently for a few breaths, then took out a ball about half a foot in diameter from the Sumeru Ring and held it in her hand:
"What is this?"
Jiang He was a little speechless, his eyes subconsciously looked away, and he whispered:
"Block the sun."
"What materials are used in it? What kind of formation pattern?" Xu Xinyao bit her lip: "I remember Master You promised me that these things would not be used by the military again."
Jiang He coughed lightly, tried to change the subject, and whispered:
"Xin Yao, my teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time"
Xu Xinyao sniffed, her clear eyes a little red, and asked:
"Master, today's war in the north should require the kind of Yunqi bombs you modified, not this so-called blinding sun. What does Gewuyuan want to do by creating so many blinding suns?"
Jiang He looked at his now slim disciple and sighed:
"Xinyao. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Xu Xinyao lowered her eyes and dug her nails into her palms:
"More than 20 boxes of more than 300 coins block the sun. Shouldn't our Gewuyuan be responsible for more than just this?"
Jiang He's fingertips trembled, and he raised his hand to touch his disciple's head, but he stopped in mid-air.
A long while,
Jiang He retracted his hand, the wrinkles on his old face seemed to be deeper, and nodded:
"Well, Mr. Xiangguo asked us to make thousands of shielding suns in the Gwuyuan, and now we have delivered 70% to the Black Scale Army. What you see, Xinyao, is the last one."
Xu Xinyao was startled when she heard this, and her voice was slightly trembling:
"Transported to the north?"
"Yes, now the sun has been transported to various places in the north on the court's disaster relief carriage."
This time the answer was very straightforward, but the tone was warm and not like Jiang He’s old voice.
Under the sunlight, a figure in blue floated down, looking at the girl in blue.
Xu Xinyao raised her eyes when she heard the sound, and met the man's gentle gaze, with a complex look in her eyes, and whispered:
"Big brother."
Xu Changge bent his eyes and smiled:
"Xinyao, long time no see. My father misses you very much. Please go home with me first."
Xu Xinyao pursed her lips and did not answer.
Jiang He hissed and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Xu Changge, I, an old man, haven't married my disciple yet"
"Okay, I miss my father too."
Jiang He opened his mouth.
Xu Xinyao bowed to Jiang He:
"Master. Xinyao will see you again tomorrow."
The words fell,
Xu Changge nodded politely to Jiang He, Yunqi wrapped Xu Xinyao and flew away.
Standing alone, Jiang He looked at the receding figure in the sky for a long time, and his frustrated emotions turned into a low sigh
Silent all the way,
Xu Changge directly crossed the forbidden area over Di'an in a defiant manner, and took Xu Xinyao to the huge Xiangguo Mansion.
Enter the inner courtyard,
Looking at the familiar layout of her home, Xu Xinyao's frown eased slightly. After looking around, she asked softly:
"Brother, hasn't father come back yet?"
Xu Changge walked forward slowly, nodded slightly, and said with a smile:
"Father, he went to the palace today to meet the saint, so he may come back later."
"Oh"
When Xu Xinyao heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the second courtyard on the right side of the main hall and asked softly:
"What about third brother?"
Xu Changge was silent after hearing this.
Xu Xinyao saw a smile in her eldest brother's beautiful eyes, pursed her lips, and spat:
"Third brother, he won't go to the fence in broad daylight again, right?"
Xu Changge smiled dumbly, with a complicated smile in his narrow eyes, shook his head, and said softly:
"No, he is not in the Imperial Capital now."
"Not in the Imperial Capital?"
There was a hint of surprise in Xu Xinyao's eyes.
She returned to the Imperial Capital specifically to make a set of these self-defense spiritual weapons for Xu Yuan.
"Changtian has gone to the north, and he should be in Beifeng City now."
Xu Xinyao stared at her elder brother blankly:
"Third brother, his cultivation is so weak, won't he be in danger?"
Xu Changge exhaled, looked at the north in the distance, and whispered:
"Beifeng City has fallen."
Xu Xinyao's pupils shrank slightly, and she suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe. She was quiet for a long time and felt a little at a loss:
"How did Beifeng City fall? What are the protective formations there?"
"The sect refused to save anyone, so it fell."
Xu Changge's eyes were cold, but then his expression softened when he looked at Xu Xinyao, and he said in relief:
"Father will not enter the palace at will to meet the saint. When he comes back, he should be able to know the current situation of your third brother."
"Oh"
Xu Xinyao responded in a low voice, clenching her fists under her sleeves: "Third brother. Third brother is so smart, he will be fine for sure."
"Brother, I feel the same way."
Said,
Seeing that Xu Xinyao still looked dazed, Xu Changge was silent for a moment, then stiffly started to change the topic:
