C158 (1/2)

Nalan Rongxuan's eyes drooped slightly, covering all his emotions. His voice was still indifferent as before: ”master, I promised you to take care of Su Lan, so I will naturally take care of her. As for the other people, does master feel that I am someone who has lost his mind?”

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Nalan Rongxuan, his expression was ever so calm, as though he would never be able to understand his thoughts, the anger in his heart seemed to have disappeared a little, and he said: ”It's best if that's the case, what exactly happened to the woman?”

”She's a disciple of the Godly Doctor, so she knows everything about me. It's quite convenient for her to take care of me, but I'm afraid that the master won't be able to see her again. She has already left to go to the North Qi to work for me.”

There was no emotion in Nalan Rongxuan's voice, the old man's expression relaxed, if it was really Nalan Rongxuan's woman who was pampering him, how could he let him do such a dangerous thing? It seemed like he had made a fuss out of nothing.

Nalan Rongxuan thought for a moment, then said, ”master knows that my body is special, so I cannot stay by your side often. It would be difficult to have such a convenient doctor by my side.”

The old man laughed: ”I got it, aren't you afraid that master would kill me in a fit of rage? Just look at the Godly Doctor's old face, I have given her some face. I know you have a cold personality, but as a girl, you should at least act coquettishly. ”

”master is right.” Nalan Rongxuan indifferently agreed.

The old man stood up with a gentle smile on his face, ”It's good that you know it. I will go and take a look at Su Ran.”

Nalan Rongxuan respectfully lowered his head, his eyes that were deep as a lake faintly flickering.

After a long while, Nalan Rongxuan finally turned around and said indifferently: ”Ghost woman! From today onwards, you will be in charge of protecting Luoxue. ”

The Ghost Witch appeared from the shadows and asked in surprise, ”Master, could it be that you don't believe the old master?”

Nalan Rongxuan's expression did not change. ”I just don't want what happened last night to happen again.”

Ghost granny's old eyes moved, and quickly disappeared from the door. Nalan Rongxuan looked in the direction of the door, and without him knowing, his hands had begun to tighten, a profound and complicated look in his eyes.

The battle was extremely tense. Just as Tuoba Hong returned to the big tent, he felt a trace of a different aura inside. He could not help but clench his fist, and coldly asked: ”Who?”

”Not bad, your vigilance is so strong.” Yue Luoxue walked out from the shadows.

Tuoba Hong was overjoyed. He thought that she would not come back so easily after going to the Profound Star Country. ”Luoxue? It's really you! ”

”Of course it's me. I haven't helped you seize the North Qi yet, how could I escape before the battle?” Yue Luoxue laughed, ”But you are pretty fast, half of the North Qi is yours?”

Tuoba Hong smiled slightly, with a hint of joy and love in his brown eyes: ”Then it's all thanks to you helping out, your people and weapons have been really useful.”

Yue Luoxue complacently raised her brows: ”It worked, I admit it, but the main thing is that you're strong yourself, if not it wouldn't have gone so smoothly.”

Tuoba Hong sighed, ”I suspect that there is a traitor within the army. There has been information leaked out recently.”

Yue Luoxue nodded her head, thinking back to the thing that Liu Chengfeng had that could bewitch people's hearts, the people beside Tuoba Hong, needed to find a chance to properly inspect it.

It was just that she did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly. The North Qi Imperial Family had suddenly gathered a large army to suppress the Battle-King rebel army, and at the same time, the Sunscorch Kingdom sent troops to the borders, which happened to be part of the Battle King's territory.

At this moment, Tuoba Hong was being attacked from the back. If he was not careful, he might not be able to recover at all times, so he gathered all his soldiers to discuss on how to deal with the situation.

”Your Royal Highness, the person beside you is?”

Some people noticed that the man beside Tuoba Hong was not even twenty years old, and was not considered tall. His face was dark, and his cheeks were flushed, but his overall appearance was still a bit elegant.

Tuoba Hong laughed: ”This is Mr. Luo Feng, the advisor I invited.”

Actually, this person was Luoxue. It was not convenient for her to appear as her real body right now, so she changed her appearance to that of a man.

”A strategist? Your Highness, this … ”Is that reliable?” More than one of them held a doubtful attitude, looking at Yue Luoxue from head to toe.

Yue Luoxue laughed without a care: ”Whether it's reliable or not, everyone just needs to wait and see.”

Seeing Yue Luoxue's confident look, one of the generals was the first to speak. ”I wonder what clever plan Mr. Yue Luoxue has to resolve this crisis?”

Yue Luoxue's expression did not change.

”Humph, who doesn't know? If Mr Luo Feng only knows this one sentence, he would have let us down too much!” Another person answered.

However, Yue Luoxue walked to the sand table in front of him and pointed to the pattern on it. ”Regarding the army south of the imperial family, I suggest that we set up a main checkpoint here, and a secondary checkpoint here and here respectively …”

”Nonsense, if we were to set up a card in the Steel Wood Pass, how much land would we lose?!” ”This was the blood of the soldiers!” A general said excitedly, and everyone else followed suit.

Retreating to the Steel Wood Pass was equivalent to giving up a thousand miles of territory. These territories had been taken down step by step, so naturally, they wouldn't be willing to give up just like that.

Yue Luoxue pointed to the sand map on the table and said, ”North of the Ironwood Mountain Pass, we still have three important cities, but these three cities are relatively scattered, the surrounding area is flat, and is not easy to defend against. The Ironwood Forest is different, there is the White River on the left and the Falling Dark Mountain on the right.

”Why do you need to keep fighting? Just kill them directly!” Another rough voice sounded.
