Old Xu paused and opened his eyes to look at the mandrill.

"No...it's not difficult, but it takes a little time, and..."

Shan Mandrill said here, paused, his face looked heartbroken, and he swallowed the rest.

"So, and what?"

Lao Xu said, raising his hand, and he had already pulled the rope in his palm. The mandrill was hanging directly, just in front of Lao Xu.

The mandrill was scared, and Lao Xu had no concealment of the murderous aura. Just facing a powerful enemy, it had no power to resist.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I said, it just needs a lot of gold and silver. I originally saved a lot, but now I don't. You only know that mandrills can control water. They like shiny things. In fact, we can control water by devouring these things."

Lao Xu stared at the mandrill for a moment. Although the mandrill was afraid, his eyes were clear. It seemed that this guy was not lying, but if he spent a lot of gold and silver to make the river rise, if others didn't say it, Zhou Sanyuan would not agree.

Because he is stingy.

"Is there any other way?"

Mandrill quickly shook his head.

"It's gone."

Old Xu looked at Jiang, with a trace of inattention on his face.

"It's okay, I'll catch a few more marls. Regardless of whether I swallow gold and silver or not, even if I vomit, I'll let you raise the river."

The mandrill widened his eyes, his eyes a little wet, as if he was thinking of bad memories.

"I also want to find another mandrill, but I have lived here for nearly a hundred years and have not found a single one. Only the grandfather who brought me here when I was a child, but he was bitten to death by the snake demon."

Lao Xu didn't understand the mandrills, but Xiaobai once said that the mandrills live in groups. Occasionally, they were abandoned or defeated and could not integrate into the ethnic group. But this one seemed a little different.

With such ability, he actually lived alone. I guess Laoshan Mandrill was also trying to make trouble for him.

"No hurry. One day you can go to the opposite side, maybe you can discover your ethnic group."

When the mandrill heard this, his eyes also looked at the river.

At this moment, a small black dot kept popping up on the river surface, then sank again. As it rose and fell, it had already arrived at the riverside, jumped a few times and landed on the branch where Lao Xu was.

Xiaobai shook the fur on his body hard, and Lao Xu and the mandrill were splashed all over, but neither of them protested.

"how?"

Xiaobai opened his mouth, spit out a bead, slapped his claws, threw it directly to the mantle, and then let out a long breath.

"This is not a place to talk, hurry up and it will take it with you."

Old Xu didn't talk nonsense. Knowing that Xiaobai was exhausted now, he picked up Xiaobai and hugged it in his arms, tied the mandrills tightly on his back, and several people jumped to disappear into the forest.

Soon, a man fell to the branch where Lao Xu had stayed, squatted on the branch and pressed it against the branch with his palm, emitting a light blue light.

His eyebrows were frowned and he looked puzzled. At this time, a few people in green behind him followed him up.

"Reporting to the commander, I didn't find it. No one around me nor did I find the demon, but there is indeed a residual demonic energy around me."

Zhang Zhixiong raised his hand, stood up and shook his neck, with a serious expression on his face.

"I didn't expect that there was such a strong man near this white sand castle. Even if the person left, he still made a cover-up formation, and it was arranged inadvertently. This method looked like my senior brother!"

"Will we go to Hejiang by lieutenant?"

Several men in green came over and looked at each other. They didn't know how to answer this, so they could only come up with this proposal.

Zhang Zhixiong sighed and waved his hands at the few people.

"Go to Baisha Castle and send people to inquire along the way at night. Don't cross the river easily. The losses sent out before were too great, and most of them were gone. I don't want you to die in this matter. Since King Ning is worried about these two places, we can just take a look. If you are safe, go to Luzhou tomorrow."

"Here."

....................................

"Xiaobai, are you okay?"

Zhou Ze rushed to Xiaobai quickly and looked at her wet body, and couldn't help but feel worried. At this time, he regretted asking Xiaobai to inquire about the news.

Zhou Ze has never regarded Xiaobai as a bodyguard for a long time. She is like a relative who has been with her. She shares Zhou Ze's happiness and past along the way. If something happened to her, Zhou Ze would not dare to imagine.

Xiaobai shook the water on his body again, flashed and turned into a human form, his face pale.

Zhou Ze put a big cloak on Xiaobai and personally gave him a cup of hot milk. Old Xu was aside, so he found a seat to sit down and drank the tea brought by Sanbao. Sanbao went out to close the door.

Only the mandrilled on the ground, with his eyes wide open, staring at Zhou Ze curiously. He had seen this person, and on Huangjing Mountain, he led the man and this cat demon, looting its collection.

However, when he saw his concern for the cat demon, Shan Mandrill had envy in his eyes. For a moment, he wanted to put his head over and feel the concerned touch.

This idea scared it, shrank its neck and quickly reduced its presence, but Lao Xu looked at it.

Xiaobai did not push Zhou Ze's hand away, shook his head slightly at him, and he lost his usual attitude of beating people to death.

"It's okay, you guessed it right. There are heavy troops in the Eight-Primary Ladder. The barracks are very concentrated, and they are all hidden in the valley behind the Eight-Primary Ladder opposite. It's hard to find out. I didn't dare to get too close to me because I roughly estimate that there are at least 50,000 soldiers."

Zhou Ze shivered.

Grass!

Whatever you are afraid of is what you come!

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, all of them are ready to take action. With the momentum of the Deer King, it is said that he is gathering an army of 200,000. All the nobles in it can account for half of them, and the elites who can fight are only this number.

Only by clenching the fists can you hit people. It seems that the Deer King of the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted to avoid his edge, hoping to break a hole between the White Sand Castle and the Jigong Fort. In this way, the path will be opened, let alone 200,000, and many people will successfully enter the Tang Dynasty.

Xiaobai looked at Zhou Ze and continued:

"The barracks are very cautious. Apart from the checkpoints, there are no people walking around casually. All I can see is that the horse's hooves are wrapped in thick cloth.

There are more than ten ships on the inside of the eight-step ladder, all of which are large ships. The bows are different from what we have seen. I don’t know how to describe them. Anyway, they are flat and the bows are very low.”

Zhou Ze quickly got up, found the paper and pen, and drew it on the paper. An ordinary big ship directly extended the deck according to the aircraft carrier design, lowered the height, and Xiaobai kept nodding.

"Yes, that's it. The boat is so flat, with a huge black tart cloth covering it. I don't know if there is anything hidden on it. I wanted to get closer at that time, but I seemed to feel a look that came, and I quickly dived into the water and retreated."

Lao Xu glanced at the mandrill without shyness.

"The Western Zhou royal family is best at controlling beasts. There are dragons hidden in the royal bloodline. It is normal for Xiaobai to sense danger. However, Xiaobai with water-avoiding beads, probably won't find Xiaobai's aura. Just think it's a mandrill that wants to cross the river."

Xiaobai curled his lips and looked indifferent. After all, she also knew about the murder of the bride-welcoming mission.

"Isn't the cause of the wedding mission? Isn't the deer king captured? If he is so powerful, how could he be easily captured?"

Lao Xu shook his head.

"I don't know, it was the news that Zhang Zhixiong sent back in the southern border at that time. It was indeed true that the capture of the King of Deer was true. However, the war between the two countries, especially the royal family, was common for negotiation and replacement. I don't know how they captured the King of Deer, but they just said that the rope broke during the sneak attack and fell into our army."

Zhou Ze was silent. How could a general with outstanding military talents and such supernatural powers be captured so easily? The whole thing was strange when it was linked together.

"Maybe the deer king did it on purpose. If you were suddenly besieged by someone at your peak and did not consider the losses, could you break out?"

Old Xu paused and thought about it seriously.

"As long as you don't fall into the formation and are just surrounded by military soldiers, regardless of whether your strength is exposed, and there are losses to your personal guards, you should be able to break through."

Speaking of this, Lao Xu was also stunned.
