Chapter 8: The Captives
Xue'er wanted to follow Tianwai all the way to the gate of the city, but was rejected by Tianwai, and Nantian City was not as safe as she imagined. Tian Wai will not be at ease, at least in the other courtyard of the Tian family, there will be Ling Lao's attention at any time.
Heavenly Illusion returned in a hurry, and the news from the north came back, and the situation was not optimistic.
The vanguard of the demon clan was damaged by the demon fall, and immediately sent a lot of demons to support, and the number was several times that of the previous one. There was too much to do for them to return to the front line at once.
didn't even have time to eat a meal, and Tianwai embarked on the journey again. Walking to the door, Xue'er was reluctant to straighten her collar after all, smoothed the pattern on her chest, and looked up at him slightly with a pair of hazy eyes.
This scene is like a wife sending her husband on a long journey, envious of others.
The spring breeze is not as cold as the sky, and the trees and rivers are falling. The situation of gathering less and leaving more makes Xue'er cherish every time she gets along with Tianqi, every minute and every second is precious, and Xue'er wants to make Tianqiqi feel the best.
"Okay, it's cold, let's go into the house, remember to take Enyu with you. Tianwai stretched out his hand, stroked Xue'er's hair, and whispered.
"Childe......" Xue'er was teary-eyed, speechless, and didn't know what to say after all, "Childe, let Xue'er soothe the qin for you......"
Tianwai nodded, seeing that Xue'er finally showed a smile and walked towards the house, it seemed that she was going to get her piano, presumably from the time when Tianjia left, and brought it out by the way.
"Let's go......" Tianwei turned around and said to Tianhuan, Tianhuan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you listen?"
Tian Wai showed a smile, took a step, and secretly said in his heart, I have heard it a long time ago......
When Xue'er happily came out with the piano in her arms, there were no two of them, and the people who stayed in this courtyard looked at her with some regret...... But Xue'er understands that if she sees her son again, she will really be reluctant to let her son leave. Childe also understood this, so he left early......
With a smile on her lips, Cher sat cross-legged on the floor, put the piano on her lap, sat down on the steps, and began to pluck the strings like that.
The sound of the piano winds around the beam, blowing out like a spring breeze. Xue'er's piano skills have been practiced since childhood, and they are extremely gratifying skills, so Xue'er has always been very serious and practicing very seriously. Tender fingertips, red makeup waiting for the king......
In the distance, Tian Cry and Tian Fantasy are so powerful, they can naturally hear this beautiful piano sound, but neither of them said much. All the way to the north.
Sister Xue'er, who Childe likes, Yixiang knows, so here, only Xue'er can make Yixiang treat each other sincerely, except for Xue'er, probably only Su Qing and Ling Lao can show Yixiang's true side. As for Yixiang in the eyes of others, they are all indifferent and lonely.
Her gaze gradually cooled as she left, and Yixiang walked towards the back of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Murong Jin hurriedly followed and walked slowly behind Yixiang. Coming out of the original courtyard, it is more like a backyard, but it is too simple. It looks no different from a firewood house.
Yi Xiang walked to a room, Murong Jin didn't follow up, but just waited outside, and after a while, Yi Xiang came out, changed into a tighter outfit, and the makeup on her face was also removed. Murong Jin guessed in his heart that most of the time he knew that Tianqi was back, so Yixiang would deliberately dress up.
Completely ignoring Murong Jin's meaning, Yixiang walked straight to the small courtyard and began her own cultivation. Murong Jin had nothing to do, so he watched from the sidelines, and no one bothered anyone.
It wasn't until the sunset that Yi Xiang stopped her cultivation, and when she turned her head, she found that Murong Jin was still standing behind him, but he was already weak, and he was even more drowsy and unstable at the moment.
"If you die here, I'll throw you out. Yi Xiang said coldly, and walked directly into the house after speaking.
Murong Jin trembled, his originally somewhat blurred consciousness finally came to his senses, and watching Yi Xiang enter the house, he finally affirmed the thoughts in his heart!
Liu Yixiang didn't pay attention to him at all, and what the weather said about practicing martial arts with her was just a perfunctory word, she just wanted to help Tian Cry but it was a troublesome matter, and she didn't care about his affairs at all.
Murong Jin staggered back to his residence, not far from Yixiang's residence, most of these children had already woken up and were eating in the house, Murong Jin's mind was groggy, and he sat directly on the chair.
Xue'er walked into the house with a plate of simple food, put it in front of Murong Jin, and when she saw him, she was a little helpless, and said softly: "Eat quickly, take care of your body first." ”
Murong Jin was shocked again, he didn't even notice that anyone was approaching him at all?! As soon as he came to Nantian, his spirit and body had already reached their limit.
Looking at the food in front of him, Murong Jin was a little grateful to Xue'er, and began to eat it with gusto. Thinking about today's daytime, I was a little depressed and a little angry. He Murong Jin has no ability, and today he also has some intention of begging Tianwai to take him in.
However, this does not mean that he Murong Jin is a good and spineless person, after going through so much, Murong Jin feels that if no one treats him, it is better to go outside and come freely.
"It's not that Childe ignores you," seeing Murong Jin's eyes, Xue'er could probably guess what he was thinking, "On the contrary, it's the first time I've seen Childe be so kind to a person." ”
Murong Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue'er suspiciously.
"You're still the first one to be escorted back by Childe himself, and you've brought it here. Xue'er still hasn't said a word, she knows what her status is in Tianwai's heart, the refugees here, no matter how bad or evil, will never choose to start here.
First, this is the courtyard of the heavenly family, and secondly, almost everyone knows that there are several stunning beauties living here, and one of them, a woman named Xue'er, is even more otherworldly, but she is the lover of Tianwai. Tian Wai has always protected her very well, and even in such troubled times, he will let a super combat force like Ling Lao always pay attention to the situation here.
But it was Murong Jin who came here easily, and he didn't hesitate to let Murong Jin stay. It can be seen that Tianwai trusts him.
Murong Jin's heart was very confused, he kept thinking about the last words of Tianwee before leaving, as long as he believed, he was a demon fallen. So, he's always had hope for himself?
(Syracuse North)
Sky Cry and Sky Phantom braved the night wind to keep moving north, and the demons they encountered on the road also tried to avoid them as much as possible.
"Syracuse is over, and it looks like we're not far from there. ”
"Well, be more careful, the farther north you go, the stronger the demon general's strength will be. ”
Tianhuan nodded, put the black coat and hat on his head, and the whole person seemed to blend into the night. The two of them climbed the empty mountains in the north of Syracuse overnight, looking at the situation below from a distance.
There are dense demons there, and even some humans are among them.
"What's going on?" Heavenly Illusion immediately noticed the humans who were surrounded by the demons, but the demons did not come forward to eat, but surrounded them in the middle, so that they could not escape.
Tian Wai found that even though the demons who surrounded them were already salivating, they still held back the desire in their hearts and did not make a move, this scene was extremely unusual. These humans, if placed in the midst of previous wars, would be like captives!
"Prisoners, they take humans as captives!" Sky Cry began, "But why do the demons use humans as captives?"
Tianhuan's eyes kept flickering, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly, the two looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes!
"Deception?!" Cold sweat dripped down, and such an idea popped up in the hearts of the two of them at the same time, but they were more and more sure of this ridiculous fact.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid there aren't many cities that can stop it!"
"However, with so many captives, it is almost impossible to rescue them. Heavenly Illusion shook his head and said, there are too many humans below, even if they can sneak in and kill the defenders quietly, it is impossible not to be discovered by the demons if they want to save so many people.
"In the previous battle, there had been no deception, presumably, this was the first human captive they were prepared to use! Tian Wai said, and his heart became more and more worried. During this time, it turned out that there were fewer and fewer survivors found in the north, and it would be terrible if most of them were captured by the demons.
"There's only one way at the moment!" Tian Wai thought about it, and finally felt that the solution he had just thought of was the most practical.
Tianhuan raised his head, his eyes lit up, waiting for the next step of Tianyi.
The night is as quiet as water, the vanguard of this demon race, it also needs to rest, continuous marching, even if they have stronger physical strength than humans, but it is limited after all.
Most of the demons are resting, and on the other side, there are still a small number of demons standing guard! The demon fall puts a lot of pressure on the demons, and many demon generals will require someone to keep vigil every night.
In the past few months, Sky Cry and Heavenly Illusion have taken down no less than ten heads of demon generals from the hands of the demon army, and their threat can be seen.
A demon general, at the top of the list, is discussing with his subordinates about the method of using human captives and the follow-up. Outside the camp, there are countless demons standing guard for it.
However, all of this still can't discover the hidden body method of the Heavenly Illusion! It is precisely because of the Heavenly Illusion technique that the Heavenly Mandate has arranged for him and the Heavenly Cry to act as assassination troops! It is really an extremely easy thing to bypass these demons in the realm of Dingqiankun.
Infiltrating anywhere is a breeze for the Heavenly Illusion, but the difficulty lies in the fact that it is difficult to kill the powerful demon generals with one blow! This is definitely an extremely difficult task.
The Heavenly Illusion, who had already arrived in the camp, was hidden in the darkness, observing the situation! Everyone was in a good state of mind, and he didn't have a chance to do it for a while.
After a long wait, Tianhuan did not feel the slightest irritability, but became more and more calm! The time passed for almost two hours, and it was already early in the morning. Several demon generals seemed to be a little tired, sitting upright from the beginning, and gradually leaning on the back of the chair behind them, even the demon generals would move their stiff muscles from time to time.
The dark Celestial Illusion knew that the time was almost ripe.
On the other side, Tian Cry had already come to the other side of the demon camp, and the human captives who were heavily guarded were also hidden in the dark, but they didn't have the slightest intention of doing anything.
Time is lost minute by minute, and another half hour has passed!
Just as the demon general wanted to twist his body, a short knife suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, and it turned out to be straight towards his throat!
This sword shone brightly in an instant, and it instantly stabbed the eyes of this demon general, stunning and containing murderous intent. It was extremely close to him, and it would reach his skin in a split second.
Before the generals of these demons could react, their eyes saw that in front of their leader, a figure had appeared!
"Chief, be careful!"
But it's too late, this knife is coming too fast, too hidden, if you don't take precautions in advance, you can't avoid it in time.
This is a chaotic fourfold demon general, but in the face of heavenly illusion, it is still inevitable to be killed by a knife!
The short knife directly penetrated the throat of the demon general, and in an instant, the demon general, who was still powerful a moment ago, had already covered his throat and fell to the ground with difficulty.
Only the Heavenly Illusion behind him remained, panting slightly, with a hint of evil smile, looking at the demon generals below.
"It's you!Demon Fall!?" one of the generals quickly recognized the Celestial Illusion. This is the order of the demons from above, and they have always seen the illusory images of the people of the Heavenly Family.
"Oh, you're still the first subordinate who didn't run away, yes. ”
"Kill the general, take your life!" A demon general couldn't help but say, and directly shot towards the Heavenly Illusion, their demon clan had already kept the information of the Heavenly Family in mind, the strongest thing in the Heavenly Illusion was assassination, but the ability to face the enemy head-on was not as exaggerated as the overstepping battle!
I can't help it, someone took the lead, and in an instant, the momentum rose, and these demons swarmed up, bound to leave the Heavenly Illusion here.
