The sound outside was a little quick:

"Master, someone is coming from the capital, waiting to see the master."

"Oh? Who sent it?"

"Report to Master, it's General Xun Gao."

"Ahhh, go and let him wait, I'll come soon."

Cao Ruo moved his body and quickly got up.

After seeing the person off, Cao Ruo had a gloomy face and ordered:

"Let that peace be released soon, give him some money, and let him go home by himself."

The servants agreed to go.

"I am so lucky to be peaceful and lucky. What is the origin? How could such a high-ranking official come to save me?"

Cao Ruo was worried.

Xun Gao has a high position and a powerful position, and he has to sell his face.

However, the fact that I had a Red Bead was probably spread in the officialdom.

However, he didn't know that the Hongzhu incident was not only spread in the officialdom, but his wife also sent a book to her parents' home. So, the incident was also spread in the aristocratic circle of Changguo.

For a moment, many people were eager to get moved by this legendary treasure.

Pinghe was released, his life was saved, but the beads were gone.

He wandered outside the county magistrate's mansion and refused to leave.

In the end, an old servant came out and advised him to go back to his hometown as soon as possible.

How could he fight against the county magistrate?

Peace is unimaginable.

He could not kill himself in front of the county magistrate's office, so he had to go back first.

After all, there is still a mother at home who wants him to take care of her.

Not to mention the peaceful sighs after returning home.

The Hongzhu is on Cao Ruo's side, but it is not peaceful.

Cao Ruo secretly used beads to turn stones into gold. This incident was spread and it was well known to everyone.

There are also rumors that the previous miracle doctors were able to cure diseases because of this bead. This bead is a divine bead that can prolong life.

There was a lot of controversy about the efficacy of beads, and even rumors that they could become gods after eating this bead, which was said to be as if they were nose and eyes.

Rumors spread quickly.

Not long after, the wife's family and the high-ranking officials of the royal capital became interested in the red beads.

Cao Ruo had only been playing with him for ten days, but the bead was taken by a higher-level official.

He himself knew that although the beads were magical, they were not as rumored by the outside world.

But it can only add some gold and make people feel comfortable.

Compared with his official position, it is nothing.

Just as Cao Ruo reluctantly wrapped the beads in a gift box and was about to let the subordinates of the high-ranking official take them away.

Another person hurriedly reported that an army drove straight into Tianyang City.

When Fei Chun, a general who should have been guarding the border of Changguo, appeared outside the county magistrate's mansion with a grin.

Cao Ruo and the subordinates of the high-ranking official looked at each other and were stunned.

Feichun left his post without permission. Although he shouldn't have done so, he thought he was secretly doing things, so he snatched the Hongzhu and prepared to go back.

However, some of the nobles were angry because they expected that they could not get the red beads and leaked the matter directly.

And Jing Kingdom got the news.

After carefully judging the truth of this matter, they tried to attack the city that was supposed to be guarding by Feichun.

As a result, Feichun did not appear during the entire siege, and the city seemed to have insufficient staff.

The general of Jing State was overjoyed and ordered a strong attack. At the same time, he was ambushing the good men and intercepted them when Feichun came back.

On the way back, Feichun was ambushed and defeated. He had to abandon the army, throw it down, and flee back with the red beads.

When Feichun fled to the vicinity of Nilin Town, people sent by the nobles intercepted him.

Feichun died and Hongzhu was stolen again.

After receiving the red beads, the nobles returned to his territory, Mobei City.

However, at this time, the front line of Changguo began to collapse in a full line.

After the nobleman returned home, he was shocked to find that the army of Jing State was not far from the north of the desert.

Fortunately, this was the case. Changguo also sent General Xun Gao to lead a large army to guard Mobei City.

Xun Gao led the army and was worried.

You should know that Mobei is the last barrier for Changguo today, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If Mobei also falls, there will be Tantu Avenue leading to the royal capital Jianchang City, and there will be no way to stop the Jing army from entering directly.

I can only hope to stay for a little longer.

When winter comes, the plants and trees are withered, the weather is cold and the land is frozen, the Jing Kingdom goes too far, and there is no food to eat and no firewood to warm up, so you can only retreat.

Xun Gao's use of troops was naturally very strong. With him defending the city in Mobei City, Jing Kingdom could not conquer it for a long time.

The nobles breathed a little relieved.

However, just half a month later, winter is still coming.

The most magical thing between heaven and earth finally came to the last barrier of this prosperous country.

That day, the sky was gloomy and it seemed that it was about to rain.

The veteran general Xun Gao stood on the top of the city with a spear in his hand.

In the distance, there is the camp of Jing Kingdom.

There are two hundred thousand troops there.

But there were only 40,000 soldiers in his city.

Fortunately, the other party came from afar and was an exhausted army.

They are all from Changguo. They are used to the water and soil here and can rest in the city. This battle may not be lost, and maybe a counterattack will occur in a few months.

Xun Gao thought, hoping that the city would work together and not have the previous situation of fighting each other.

The wind gradually blew.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the soldiers below.

He looked down and found that many people looked up at the sky.

He also looked up.

Then the old general widened his eyes.

The scene in the sky reflected into his pupils.

Above the rounded iris, the clouds that are constantly rotating in the air, and

A huge water dragon with crystal clear body.

Below, everyone screamed in shock, not knowing whether the water dragon came or whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

But the nobles in the city lord's mansion were already panicked.

When he was inquiring about the Hongzhu before, he also heard the news conveyed by Mrs. Cao Ruo.

Water Dragon

The red bead is the dragon pill of the water dragon.

Sooner or later, the water dragon will come back to ask for it.

"Here, he's actually here."

The nobleman was in the yard, looking at the sky, and his hands and feet were so scared that he kept trembling.

He stayed for a long time and finally ran back into the house with awakening.

The nobleman went to his treasure house, looking for the red beads.

I have to return the red beads to the water dragon.

Otherwise, no one would have expected what the water dragon would do!

However, the red bead is gone.
