Xia He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and looked at Huo Xinxin with scrutiny.
The clothes of the Holy Lady of the Hehuan Sect were a little disheveled at the moment, but she still maintained her final dignity.
"Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"
Xia He's voice was filled with unquestionable authority.
Huo Xinxin bit her lower lip, a complex expression flashed in her eyes:
"General, please understand. My life is in your hands. How dare I hide it?"
Xia He nodded and stood up with satisfaction.
But before leaving, he suddenly had another thought.
"Since this demon girl from the He Huan Sect is good at dual cultivation, does that mean...?"
So he asked,
"Do you know the body of fire poison?"
After a while, Huo Xinxin paused, then suddenly looked up.
"Why does the general care so much about the fire poison body?"
Xia He's eyes turned cold, and Huo Xinxin immediately lowered her head tactfully:
"I was too talkative."
She hesitated for a moment and said softly:
"The body of fire poison is indeed special. Ordinary dual cultivation methods can only suppress it temporarily, but..."
"Get to the point."
Xia He interrupted.
"yes."
Huo Xinxin took a deep breath.
"It is recorded in the Yin-Yang Harmony Sutra of our Hehuan Sect that the fire poison needs to be guided by the yin and soft energy, rather than forcibly suppressed. Just like controlling water, it is better to drain it than to block it."
As she spoke, her fingers drew a graceful arc in the air:
"You need to use a special mental method to guide the fire poison to a specific meridian, and then..."
"Meridian?"
Xia He suddenly stood up, walked in front of her, and held out his hand condescendingly:
"Write down your thoughts."
A sly look flashed across Huo Xinxin's eyes:
"General, such a profound method may be difficult to understand just by reading the text. Why not let me..."
"Snap!"
Xia He slapped her and threw a blank bamboo scroll in front of her:
"Write."
Two hours later, Xia He carefully examined the beautiful handwriting on the bamboo slips.
Huo Xinxin knelt aside, her wrists shaking slightly from writing for so long.
"What does this mean?"
Xia He suddenly pointed to a place and asked.
Huo Xinxin took a closer look and explained:
"This is the key to the operation of Qi, and it needs to be..."
She suddenly stopped talking because Xia He had already distanced himself from her without making a sound.
"Why is the general so on guard?"
Huo Xinxin blinked in grievance.
"I am just a prisoner now..."
"Whatever the general wants to do, I will do it..."
"You have a nice thought!"
"I'll have food delivered tomorrow."
Xia He put away the bamboo slips, turned around and left.
Huo Xinxin said hurriedly:
"General, why don't you try this method to see if it works? I can..."
"Shut up."
Huo Xinxin's face turned pale, she was angry and annoyed!
It was the first time she felt her charm was so useless!
A strong feeling of frustration surged in my heart!
......
The next morning, Xia Hegang arrived at the training ground.
Suddenly, the guards came to report:
"General, Eunuch Liu is here again!"
"Let him in."
Liu Fuquan trotted in with a smile on his face:
"General Xia, the Linghe that His Majesty wants..."
"It's almost ready."
"Why don't you come with me to take a look outside the city, father-in-law?"
Liu Fuquan was overjoyed:
"That's great! Your Majesty is urging me so hard that I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days..."
In the carriage leaving the city, Liu Fuquan kept talking about the news from the palace.
Xia He responded in a disjointed manner, but his eyes kept sweeping over the woods and mountains on the side of the road.
"Be careful, father-in-law!"
Xia He suddenly jumped up and pulled Liu Fuquan off the carriage.
Almost at the same time, a feather arrow "whoosh" and hit the seat where Liu Fuquan had just sat.
"White Robe Army! It's the White Robe Army!"
Dozens of knights in white rushed out of the woods, swords flashing and sabers flying.
Liu Fuquan was so frightened that he stumbled and fell off the carriage, and his official hat flew off.
"Protect the father-in-law!"
Xia He drew his sword and fought with the attacking man in white.
Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the leader in white seemed to recognize Xia He.
After a feint, he blew a whistle and the bandits retreated immediately.
"Thank you very much, General, for saving my life!" Liu Fuquan collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
Xia He helped the old eunuch up and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that the White Cloak Army is more rampant than we thought."
Just then,
“Report——!”
A guard came running over in a panic.
"General, this is bad! All the spiritual herbs we collected...were burned by those bandits!"
"What?!"
When Liu Fuquan heard this, the blood suddenly drained from his old face and he staggered back two steps.
I almost fell to the ground again.
He pointed tremblingly at the black smoke rising in the distance, his lips trembling but unable to speak.
Xia He supported the staggering old eunuch:
"Be careful, father-in-law."
"It's over... It's all over..."
Liu Fuquan beat his chest and stamped his feet, tears streaming down his face.
"The spiritual grass that His Majesty wants... How can I explain this to you?"
He suddenly grabbed Xia He's arm, as if grabbing a life-saving straw:
"General Xia! You must save this old slave!"
Xia He looked embarrassed:
"this..."
"It's all that damn Zhao Tiangang's fault!"
Liu Fuquan suddenly gritted his teeth.
"If he hadn't indulged the White Robe Army..."
"Please calm down, sir."
Xia He comforted him,
"I will find a way to collect the spiritual herbs again. Come, send the eunuch back to the mansion to rest first."
