31 The man in the black robe

You Xue and Aode, as Yun Ze's slaves, did not participate in the send-off banquet that Lin Zijian set up for Yun Ze last night, and they were standing on the side and swallowing saliva anyway.

After talking to Yun Ze early in the morning, she returned to the room, and several maids brought her a very rich breakfast, and after You Xue and the others left, she took out one of the silver needles left by Aunt Qiong and tried it in each meal before she felt at ease, although she felt that she was really a little suspicious and obscene.

She selectively packed a few pastries to put in her baggage and decided to eat them on the way, she was really in no mood to eat right now, and she was bent on getting out of here.

Sure enough, Qingyang next door came to knock on the door and took her and Aode to the stable to lead the horse first, Yun Ze and Lin Zijian naturally had something to say, and they would wait for them at the gate when the time came.

Therefore, You Xue and the others followed the guards of Flying Eagle Castle to stand on the mysterious lifting platform again, and slowly descended to a manor at the foot of the mountain.

Where is this stable, it's a horse farm.

Sturdy horses were scattered on the lawn or striding or jogging, and huge white fences surrounded a square circle, and horses and farm servants dressed in blue cloth were busy shuttling through them.

The guards led them to the south to a large wooden fence surrounded by dozens of jujube red horses that seemed to be relatively young and sturdy.

Qingyang said to You Xue: "The master said that you can all ride horses, and the jujube red horses here have a gentle temperament, which is suitable for you, choose one yourself, and we will go." ”

You Xue nodded, and suddenly shook her head again, "I know how to ride a horse, how does your master know?" She was so strange, how could this Yun Ze seem to be very familiar with her.

Qingyang glanced at her with a strange expression: "I don't know." ”

Okay, You Xue was helpless, turned around to look, but saw a green-clothed servant standing by the fence with a wooden barrel in his hand, but he was sneaking at a few of them without working, and that look was very weird.

"Sister, this horse is good, you see that its eyes are so beautiful, it looks really like you!"

You Xue gritted her teeth, turned her attention to the very beautiful horse, glared at Aode and said angrily, "...... You mean I look like a horse?"

Qingyang hurriedly coughed a few times on the side: "You two are enough, we don't have much time." If it weren't for the prince's special advice to him, he wouldn't want to accompany the two of them to choose a horse, this treatment is too eye-catching.

You Xue glared at him dissatisfied: "Where are your horses?"

"That's not to worry about the girl. Qingyang said impatiently.

You Xue dotted the maroon mare with beautiful eyes, "That's it." She looked back at the green-clothed servant, only to find that it was gone.

The three of them followed the escort through the horse farm, slowly descended along the winding mountain road, passed through a finely carved, flying gold colorful colorful stone archway, stepped down the hundred-step stone steps, Yun Ze wore a moon-white suit, a fiery red horse was close to his side, seeing a group of people approaching, it raised its head and neighed, the horse body was strong and the limbs were strong, the pupils under the black long eyelashes were shining and unruly, and he snorted at a few people with disdain.

The black horse that was hiding under the tree and gnawing grass slowly paced over and rubbed Qingyang's robe to express his intimacy.

Aode let go of the reins of the horse in his hand, galloped to Yun Ze and said in amazement: "Wow, this horse is one of the divine steeds of the Dan'er tribe......! Ahem, you're so good, how did you get your hands on it?" Aode whirled around the 'Flying Flame' with a salivating face, and was amazed.

Yun Ze raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid of being kicked to death by it?" ”

Aode puffed out his face and squinted his eyes in dissatisfaction, but he did see that 'Flying Flame' had kicked his front hooves impatiently, but he pressed it again under Yun Ze's raised hand to appease him, he was still not afraid of death, raised his little face and asked Yun Ze: "That... I'm going to ride with you, that horse is not good, sick!"

The crowd ignored his protests.

You Xue took the lead in turning over her horse neatly, looked around and asked Yun Ze: "Why don't you see Lord Lin Castle?" She thought that there would be a big battle of the send-off team, but she didn't expect Yun Ze to wait here.

"Just now, the maid of the other courtyard asked to see him, so he went back first. ”

"Courtyard?" You Xue looked back thoughtfully at the majestic ancient castle surrounded by green hills behind her, and a trace of dark clouds flashed in her heart.

The wind whipped up the sand and dust, and in the view of the smoke and sand, a scattered village of houses gradually appeared.

A black-robed man walked slowly in the direction of the village on the messy and muddy horseshoe prints after the rain, and a few strands of silver hair glowing with water scattered from the wide hood, fluttering playfully in the wind.

The clammy air was filled with the smell of rotting flesh and blood, which became stronger and stronger as we got closer.

Walking into the village, I saw ruins everywhere, blood stained everywhere, and corpses everywhere.

The clammy and fishy wind swept through the man's wide black robe like a poisonous snake, his clothes were fierce, his face in the hood was indistinguishable, and his eyes flashed with a trace of sadness and confusion.

The black vulture roared and hovered in the low sky, as if it had a lot of scruples about the black-robed man, but kept his distance from the angry shouts but did not dare to approach the corpse to enjoy a delicious meal, and the already terrifying black-faced fangs were twisted as if possessed by a demon.

This is the 'sand gathering place' from Tongguan 100 miles away, the desert with yellow sand in the west, the barbarian tribe in the north, although it belongs to the northwest border of the ancient Lan country, it can suffer from drought for many years, and is often robbed by barbarians and sand bandits, scattered and scattered villages are already miserable, now the war in Beijialuo is together, and the epidemic broke out in Taoxiang, and the few garrisons evacuated this checkpoint and retreated to Tongguan.

So much so that before the people of several villages here could flee, they were slaughtered and looted.

However, after leaving this continent for a while, she did not expect such a earth-shaking change.

The black-robed man sighed slightly, but along the way, although she could sense the existence of 'her', but after walking here, the sense became weaker and weaker, and the next road could only depend on the will of heaven.

"You are all vultures, but you are born so horribly, you are excluded by your own race, you are regarded as a messenger of death by your own race, you are in exile in heaven and earth, I only say that you eat life, but I don't know that you have fallen and eaten carrion with hunger and thirst?"

She suddenly sneered again, "Oh, I forgot, your master must be getting weaker and weaker, right?

A leading black vulture roared angrily to the sky, shook his head to shake off the saliva on the sharp beak, and rushed towards the black-robed man like a black whirlwind, seeing that the sharp black beak was about to pierce the heart of the black-robed man, at that moment, I saw the black-robed man raise his right hand slightly, condensed a transparent ball of light, and easily absorbed the black vulture into it.

Seeing that the lord was captured, the other black vultures were extremely angry, and they rushed down and pounced on them with a shout, only to see the black-robed man throw the ball of light in his hand upwards without hurry, only to see thousands of pillars of light burst out from the ball of light in an instant, spreading into a transparent enchantment like ripples of water in all directions, isolating the hundreds of black vultures.

"I don't want to embarrass you, I just don't want you to hurt the remains of these villagers who died in vain, so let their souls return to heaven and earth to rest in peace. ”

The black-robed man ignored the black vultures who gathered outside the enchantment and shouted, sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands together and chanted a long and incomprehensible mysterious incantation, and gradually, the black vultures above his head fell silent, and the corpses on the ground became blurred with the chanting of the mysterious incantation, starting from his feet to powder, spreading to the top of his head, and finally turning into a wisp of green smoke, passing through the transparent enchantment, shuttling through the dense groups of black vultures, rising to the blue sky and white clouds, being blown away by the wind, and finally disappearing.

The sky and the earth were clear, and wisps of golden sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and sprinkled onto the earth, staining a hazy golden halo.

"Heh... After so many years of following my tracks, and now that I'm back, will you greet me with such a formation?"

She looked up at the scattered black vultures, a sarcastic smile on her lips.
