Chapter 61 Arrangement of Troops
"Yu Hai is quite good at water fighting, so he should be in charge of the water fight, while Yu Chuan should be in charge of capturing the flag."

Xiao Hong nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "This information is very important. We need to make adjustments based on this information. If Yu Chuan is only a fourth-rank martial artist, Chen Pan will not have to worry about capturing the flag, and will be responsible for the third ring match."

Xiao Miao was puzzled. "Although Yu Chuan is a fourth-rank official, he is not low. How will the Patriarch arrange this?"

Xiao Hong smiled and said to another guest official, "Brother Sima, don't worry about the water fight. You are also responsible for the ring competition!"

The guest Sima Qing was also a fifth-rank martial artist. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I will follow the master's instructions!"

Xiao Miao suddenly realized, "Brother, is Xiao Xin going to participate this year?"

Xiao Hong nodded, "According to the information I received, he should be participating in the water fight!"

Everyone gave a thumbs up and praised: "The master is very good at Tian Ji's horse racing!"

Avoid the opponent's superior horses, put your own superior and medium horses in the ring, and guarantee to get 20 points.

Because the rules of capturing the flag have been changed this year, it relies more on luck, and there is no need to waste precious guests on capturing the flag. Besides, the Xiao family of Jiangning is the host this year, so they can do something about capturing the flag.

Xiao Hong said to his daughter again: "Mannu, you will be the leader of the flag-grabbing team!"

A fourth-rank female warrior stood up and bowed, "My daughter obeys your command!"

Xiao Hong nodded and asked Chen Pan, "I heard that you went to find the warriors in Jiangdu? Why?"

Chen Pan bowed and said, "I went to inquire about Xiao Xia's situation, and I heard that he is here too."

Xiao Hong's face darkened. "I know your nephew Wu San died because of Xiao Xia, but he is a member of the Jiangdu Xiao family after all. Now is the critical moment of the three Xiaos' fight, don't mess around!"

Chen Pan was originally a noble slave of the Xiao family in Jiangning, but he was an exception and had extremely high talent. I don't know how he got more than a hundred small pills, which allowed him to practice martial arts to the fifth level.

The Xiao family of Jiangning immediately took a new look at Chen Pan, restored his civilian status, and hired him as a guest official.

Chen Pan had no son, so he devoted all his efforts to training his apprentice Liu Erhu and nephew Wu San. He also planned to give Wu San the dozen or so small elixirs he had left, but he did not expect to hear the news of Wu San's death.

Liu Erhu told Chen Pan the truth. Chen Pan couldn't afford to offend Zhang Jue, let alone Xiao Cong, the head of the Xiao family in Jiangdu. So he focused all his hatred on Xiao Xia.

After being scolded by the head of the family, Chen Pan fell silent.

After practicing for three whole days, Xiao Xia finally accomplished his goal. He staggered out of the room, but saw Xiao Xian standing in the yard.

Xiao Xia was stunned, "Why is Brother Xiao here?"

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "I will protect you for three days, so of course I should be here!"

"Protector?" Xiao Xia was confused.

Xiao Xin said calmly: "I can find you easily, do you think Chen Pan can't find you?"

"Chen Pan?" Xiao Xia frowned slightly. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Xiao Xin shook his head. "You know nothing about this. Let's go get something to eat! I'll slowly tell you who Chen Pan is."

The two came to a snack stand next to the rental place.

By this time Xiao Xia had already remembered that Zhang Jue had mentioned Chen Pan to him the day after he ambushed Wu San.

However, Zhang Jue didn't explain the reason, which meant he still knew nothing.

Xiao Xin asked for ten big meat buns; both of them were starving.

After finishing all the meat buns and filling his stomach, Xiao Xin slowly said, "Chen Pan is Wu San's uncle!"

Xiao Xia vaguely guessed that he was indeed Wu San's relative.

"He is also Liu Erhu's master!"

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Xia was really confused. "Then why are they in Jiangdu?"

"I don't know either. Uncle Huan said it might be related to your Second Master."

Xiao Xia's mind moved, and a bold idea popped up in his head. Xiao Hu might have colluded with the Jiangning Xiao family for a long time, and the head of the family also noticed it. He took the opportunity of injuring Wu San to kill Wu San and warn Xiao Hu and the Jiangning Xiao family.

Zhang Jue used these two people in the martial arts hall, but he was actually monitoring them on behalf of the patriarch.

Then it was most likely not Zhang Jue who planned to let Wu San and Liu Erhu bully him, but the head of the family.

This explains why Wu San worked for Zhang Jue and was killed in the end. Zhang Jue’s previous explanation was too far-fetched.

This also explains why the head of the family replaced the original formula of Xiaohuandan with a high-quality imitation, and Xiao Hu didn't know about it.

The head of the family had been on guard against Xiao Hu for a long time.

But the head of the family did not expect that Xiao Hu would dare to steal the eldest princess's treasured glass lamp, so he fainted in anger.

Then, could it be that the Yu brothers were recruited by Xiao Hu as some kind of agreement between Xiao Hu and the Xiao family of Jiangning? Losing the Three Xiaos Fight.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

This fight was so exciting that the inside was in chaos before the fight even started.

"Chen Pan wants to kill me?"

Xiao Xin nodded. "He has no son and treats Wu San as his own. Two days ago, he went to your residence to inquire about you."

"What's Chen Pan's level?"

"He is a guest of the Xiao family in Jiangning, and he is a fifth-rank martial artist."

Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that a fifth-level martial artist couldn't kill him.

Xiao Xin couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be careless, my dear brother. This guy likes sneak attacks. His short crossbow is very powerful and hard to defend against. You must be careful at all times!" Xiao Xia nodded and asked with a smile, "Why did Brother Xiao help me?"

Xiao Xin smiled slightly, "You are a descendant of our Jinling Xiao family, who else can I help if I don't help you?"

Xiao Xia also laughed. This reason was not convincing. He had heard from Zhang Jue that Xiao Moke had a very bad relationship with the Jinling Xiao family.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Moke was unwilling to give the formula of Tianwang Pill to the Jinling Xiao family, he would give them the formula of Longhu Pill.

The Xiao family of Jinling would not have to beg for a recipe for Xiaohuandan.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

Xiao Xia has lived two lifetimes and no longer believes in the idea of ​​love at first sight.

Zhang Jue was willing to help him with all his strength because of his mother from the Sui Dynasty.

Why did Xiao Xin do that?
He must have an intention.

Xiao Xia didn't say anything, but smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, have you met the Yu brothers?"

Xiao Xia decided to repay Xiao Xin's favor.

Xiao Xia returned to the Xiao Mansion's residence. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves behind him.

When he turned around, he saw a masked man riding a horse galloping towards him.

Xiao Xia suddenly felt a fierce murderous aura, and he instantly entered the barrier breaking state.

Just like a slow-motion movie, the man's speed slowed down in Xiao Xia's eyes. He pulled out a double-headed crossbow with his left hand and instantly shot two short arrows at Xiao Xia's throat at an unparalleled speed.

The sword was unsheathed, and Xiao Xia's speed was even faster. With a flash of cold light, he had already split the two short crossbows into four.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the masked man on horseback, and the horse had already galloped away.

Xiao Xia watched the masked man walk away into the background and became angry.

"Koshichiro!"

Xiao Gui's voice came from behind him. He just came out and witnessed the scene of Xiao Xia chopping the arrow, which shocked him greatly.

"Who was that person just now?" Xiao Gui asked anxiously.

Xiao Xia shook her head, "I don't know?"

"Do you have any enemies? Someone actually wanted to assassinate you." Xiao Gui continued to ask.

"Fourth Master, I am confused too!"

Xiao Gui looked at Xiao Xia and suddenly felt that he was a stranger. Although he did not know martial arts, he knew how to watch. Xiao Xia just cut two arrows with one sword, which no other warrior in the mansion could do.

"Xiao Qilang, I was worried when you were away these few days!"

"I'm sorry to have made the Fourth Master worry!"

Xiao Gui was a smart man. He patted Xiao Xia on the shoulder and stopped asking questions.

"Fourth Master, has the list of players for the flag capture been finalized?"

"It hasn't been finalized yet. Why, are you interested?"

Xiao Xia had no interest at first, but since the cold sword was the prize, he accepted it without hesitation.

Xiao Xia nodded, "The head of the family asked me to participate in the flag capture!"

"Okay! I'll arrange it and give you a place as a level three warrior."

Xiao Gui agreed readily. Xiao Xia's sword strike just now left a deep impression on him.

In the Xiao Mansion in Jinling, Xiao Xin reported the news that Xiao Xia told him to the head of the family, Xiao Lin, and his seventh uncle, Xiao Huan.

Xiao Lin's eyes flashed. If Yu Chuan was only a fourth-grade and Yu Hai was only a fifth-grade, then the layout would have to be changed.

"Master, the real powerful person in Jiangdu Xiao family is Xiao Xia. He has completed the Solidification of Yuan, just like me."

Xiao Lin was shocked, "He has also reached the sixth rank?"

Xiao Xin nodded.

There are two situations for the sixth level of martial arts. One is that one is still in the Jindan stage and there is a possibility of upgrading. The other is that one has completed the foundation building, but the upgrade has not been successful and there is only a most basic Dan room.

Xiao Xia, Xiao Xin and the little Taoist nun are all in the former situation, and they still have hope of upgrading.

The fifth grade is when the consolidation of essence has not been successful and the foundation building has been completed. In this case, one can only rely on taking medicine every day to achieve the barrier-breaking state for one or two hours. Xiao Hu, Yu Hai and other guests are in this situation.

"Was it confirmed by my father?" Xiao Lin asked again.

Xiao Lin's father was Xiao Xin's master, named Xiao Jianli, formerly known as Xiao Yan, the general of Western Liang. After the fall of Western Liang, he became a Taoist priest in Tianmu Mountain. He and his son Xiao Lin had a very bad relationship, and the father and son almost never interacted with each other.

Xiao Jianli only accepted one of his grandchildren, Xiao Xin, as his apprentice. Even though he was the elder of the Xiao family, he was always unwilling to fully train the children of the Jinling Xiao family. Xiao Lin was very dissatisfied with him but there was nothing he could do.

Xiao Xin still nodded.

Since it was confirmed by his father Xiao Jianli, Xiao Lin no longer doubted it. He asked again: "Which project did Xiao Xia participate in?"

Xiao Huan beside him laughed and said, "It must be the flag capture, his target is the cold sword!"

Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and said decisively: "We will focus on the water fight and give up the flag capture. Shisanlang will lead the water fight and Xiao Lan will be responsible for flag capture. Then let Wang Shao participate in the first match against the Xiao family in Jiangdu, and let Zhang Huayao participate in the second match against the Xiao family in Jiangning. This way we can at least get 20 points."

At this point, he turned back to Xiao Huan and said, "Go and confirm whether what was said about the Yu brothers is true?"
