"Well, go early and come back early. ”

Looking at the back of Shunzi in the distance, Huo Tianlei felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, hoping that he was too worried.

After returning home, Xue'er had already prepared a meal, which was very hearty, but Xue'er's little face had an indescribable sadness, as if she was about to leave here, and she was a little reluctant.

Accustomed to living in a place, after a long time, there will always be an unforgettable plot, just like two people have been together for a long time, and if they want to separate, as long as they are usually in a good relationship, there will be a kind of reluctance.

Although the food is exquisite, it feels tasteless in the mouths of the two of them for a while, the meaning of home seems to be so simple, and it is also the trend of the times to leave home, and a pair of invisible hands seem to control all this.

In the evening, two figures dressed in gray walked unhurriedly towards the city gate, these two people were Xue'er and Huo Tianlei, for the convenience of travel, Huo Tianlei also dressed up for Xue'er, and now it looks like a running job.

When the two of them walked to the city gate, Huo Tianlei's face couldn't help flashing a trace of astonishment, because the city gate had been closed, and some time ago, the city gate was never closed, this ......

After seeing Huo Tianlei and the others, the soldiers guarding the city immediately walked over with a straight face, and said in a very unkind tone: "Stand back, haven't you seen the notice posted at the gate of the city? In the past ten days, due to the restlessness of the beasts in the forest, they are only allowed to enter the city, not to leave the city." ”

This excuse is really lame, and a clear-eyed person knows that the city gate was not closed because of this incident, Huo Tianlei stepped forward, fixed his eyes, and said in his heart, this person is really the soldier who entered the city this morning.

"Hehe, look, there is something in the sect that wants to urgently recruit us back, are you making it convenient for you?"

The soldier just wanted to say what sect and what did he care about me, but suddenly he saw Huo Tianlei's smiling cheeks clearly, "Ah.. It's you... It's so small that I just didn't see it... It's just that you're going out so late, I'm afraid. ”

Huo Tianlei smiled after hearing this, and casually put it on his waist, and a silver ticket of one thousand taels immediately appeared in his hand, and quietly stuffed it into the soldier's hand.

The soldier looked down, after seeing the face value clearly, his face really changed color, if he was just respectful to Huo Tianlei's identity just now, then now it is estimated that he is willing to kneel on the ground and lick Huo Tianlei's toes.

"You. You, this is dry. Why, you are a noble person.. It's so small. Let my brother open the gates and let you out.."

Huo Tianlei smiled after hearing this, and then said nothing, the soldier trotted all the way up to the city tower, and muttered something to one of the soldiers who looked more powerful, and the soldier who looked more powerful glanced at Huo Tianlei and nodded.

Then, the thick gate between them, on top of the sling, slowly lowered.

Huo Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, everything was going well, not long after Huo Tianlei and Xue'er left the city, a burly man in armor rode a tall horse and galloped over.

After seeing the appearance of the person who came, the garrison upstairs said with respect on his face: "City Lord." ”

The middle-aged man listened slightly

nodded, and then handed the portrait in his hand to the soldier on the side and said: "Let's stick this wanted notice on the city gate in a while, remember that the person in this portrait is a felony in my Qinglong City, if it is discovered, it will be ignited immediately." ”

The soldier took it with a solemn face, and when he opened the portrait, his face changed color without notice.

"The lord of the castle .. This man. ”

"What's the matter, have you seen it?" said the Qinglong City Lord with a solemn face.

"This man... This man has just left the city.."

When the Qinglong City Lord heard this, his face sank, and he said in a cold tone: "Didn't I give an order, and I was only allowed to enter and not leave for more than ten days?

When the soldier heard this, he panicked immediately, and his legs were weak and he fell directly to the ground, "City.. The city lord is angry, it's really... The person in the portrait holds the waist card of the Eight Immortals Gate in his hand. I really don't dare to stop it. ”

After hearing this, the Qinglong City Lord's face was cloudy for a while, and then he said in a low voice: "You get up, since that person has the waist card of the Eight Immortal Gate in his hand, he can't blame you entirely." ”

"Uh. Thanks a lot.. Thank you for the city lord's grace of not killing. The soldier said in a trembling voice.

"Huh. If you go to the military headquarters and receive forty military sticks, whether you live or die depends on your own creation. ”

After hearing this, the soldier was extremely afraid of the forty sticks in his heart, but he still said yes in his mouth and hurriedly pushed it down.

The Qinglong City Lord, as soon as he stepped down, the horse that sat down immediately fell in the direction, towards the City Lord's Mansion, and rushed back, and when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't pay attention to the subordinates who came forward to salute, but walked quickly, and came to an extremely luxurious palace.

After looking for a long time in the palace, after seeing the old man dressed in green clothes, he said very respectfully. "National teacher. ”

After the old man spoke, he smiled slightly, "The city lord doesn't need to be polite, but there is the whereabouts of the thief who killed the apprentice?"

After hearing this, the Qinglong City Lord nodded hurriedly and said, "I heard the soldiers guarding the city say that the thief has just left the city, but the identity of the thief is a little tricky. ”

"Oh. It's a little tricky? What is the identity of the thief? The city lord might as well tell me about it. After hearing this, the old man in Tsing Yi flashed a trace of contempt in his eyes, and said lightly

"If the soldiers defending the city have not said a lie, then the thief should be a monk of the Eight Immortal Caves. ”

"What a monk of the Eight Immortal Sect. When the old man heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief

Obviously, the Eight Immortal Caves are not something that a national teacher like him can afford to provoke.

"The national teacher is not in a hurry, although it is said that this son is the Eight Immortals, but calculate the time, it should be the disciple who has just been recruited this year, and he is on the way back to the Eight Immortals, if it is the national teacher, he can intercept and kill this son on the way, I believe that it is the Eight Immortals, and he will not suspect anything, just think that it is this son, and he can't give up the prosperity of the world. ”

When the national teacher heard this, his eyes narrowed into a straight line, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons of this.

And after the Qinglong City Lord saw the national teacher like this, he said respectfully, "I also hope that the national teacher can kill this son, and the child's blood feud depends on the national teacher." ”

As he spoke, he made a big salute to the old man in Tsing Yi and the national teacher, and when the national teacher saw this, he had no choice but to speak: "The Qinglong City Lord doesn't need to be polite

If what you just said is true, it seems that I should make a move once. ”

Having said that, but this national teacher already has a grudge against the Qinglong City Lord in his heart, how can the Eight Immortal Sect be easy to provoke, if he knows that his disciples are killed outside, how can he sit idly by, let alone talk about him as a national teacher at that time, even if the king of the Great Xia Kingdom comes forward, it will be useless.

However, this son has not yet returned to the sect, if he is intercepted and killed halfway, it will not be able to make much trouble, after all, this matter is entrusted by His Majesty, he is not easy to refuse, but this Qinglong City Lord's move, the measurement of killing people with a knife is really wonderful!

After returning, he must refer to him in front of the emperor.

……”

Huo Tianlei and Xue'er walked very fast, after all, when they went out of the city, they were like birds flying out of a cage, the world was big, let me do it.

Xue'er's mood seems to have changed a lot as she leaves the city, perhaps because she doesn't have to disguise the pair of pointed ears on her head, because there are sparsely populated here, only the endless prairie and the countless mountains and clear waters...

After walking for a long time, Huo Tianlei finally saw the village that he had agreed with Shunzi, and the villages were all burned black. Pieces of remnants.

It makes people feel indescribably sad to watch, and there is no need to think that this is the masterpiece of those gangsters...

"Brother Huo Tianlei, should I put on a hat and cover my ears?"

After Huo Tianlei spoke, he thought about it and shook his head, "It's still not necessary, there are not many families in this small village now, and I believe that few people will pay attention to you." ”

"Hmm. Xue'er nodded obediently, and followed Huo Tianlei into the small village

Sure enough, it was almost as Huo Tianlei expected, there were no more families in the village, there were often bandits here, and those who could move away had already moved away, and there were not many people left, who were also busy cleaning up their own doors, and no one paid attention to Huo Tianlei's side at all.

After walking into an alley, Huo Tianlei came to the old woman's house, and after knocking lightly on the door, he only heard the old man's voice come out, "Who!"

After Huo Tianlei heard the voice of the old woman, he smiled and said, "It's me!"

The old woman obviously heard Huo Tianlei's voice, so she opened the door, and after seeing that it was indeed Huo Tianlei, she showed a very kind smile, "It's Xiao Lei here, come in and sit." ”

So Huo Tianlei was not polite, and led Xue'er into the house, it seemed that the eldest mother was old, her eyes were not very good, and she didn't pay special attention to Xue'er's ears.

This made Cher breathe a sigh of relief.

Inside the house, it was as poor as ever, and it was very messy, Xue'er and Huo Tianlei didn't treat themselves as outsiders, and helped the aunt clean up the house.

It's not that this old lady is lazy, it's just that he's really old, and he can't do it anymore, besides, there is a three-year-old grandson who needs him to support, this old and young, it would be better to survive after the bandits came.

The old lady watched Xue'er skillfully doing housework, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, it seemed that many years ago, when her son and daughter-in-law came back, her daughter-in-law was also so diligent and capable.
