It has been more than a month since the beginning of winter, and the slightly depressed official road of Xiqing County, three luxury carriages with four drivers, dozens of red-armored guards, and a huge convoy are moving forward rapidly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, on the edge of the official road more than 100 miles to the west, in a simple tea stall, Zhao Bu was putting away the wooden stool for the last table. The sky has begun to darken, the sun is only half of the body left on the west of the mountain, after sending away a group of merchants who rushed to Jiayong Pass, he also has to rush back to Hexi City in front of the gate of the city, the mother-in-law at home is waiting, he is cleaning up while thinking about the rare things that he bought from the passer-by merchant today.

"I must be able to make Huzi happy for a while. After loading all his things, he pushed the cart to the west, and the darkening sky made him feel a little weak.

"It's not the first time I've closed the stall so late, and I'm really going back more and more," he muttered, but he also stepped up his steps. And in the shadows that he couldn't see, several pitch-black figures were moving at a very strange speed.

Xiang Mingyu was a little sleepy and put away the jade sword in his hand that he had been playing with for a long time, it was a short sword with a warm color in the crystal clear, the texture was not gold or jade, but the hilt was a little too gorgeous. Lowering the curtain of the carriage, she rose from the soft collapse by the window, and the wide carriage was luxuriously furnished.

"Sister Amber, how long have we been gone? Walking to the desk in the middle, Mingyu took the sheathed dagger back into her arms, and asked the girl lying in a pile of silk futons lying on the soft collapse behind the car room,

"Ahh Little Mingyu," Amber sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking like she hadn't woken up

"Sister Amber~" Mingyu walked up to him and shook Amber's shoulder vigorously,

"Wake up, you've been asleep for two hours!"

"Oh..."

Amber pushed away Mingyu's hand, got up from the bed, picked up the tea on the desk and drank it.

"Sister Amber, are you so sleepy..."Mingyu snatched the cup from Amber's hand

“… What did Xiao Mingyu ask me just now?"

Amber paused for a moment, then immediately asked in a tone that hadn't happened before.

“…… How long have we been gone," the little girl stared at Amber with disdain, repeating the question she had just asked.

"It's been more than half a month."

Mingyu sat down dejectedly

"I shouldn't have touched that strange rock"

"Homesick again?" Amber picked up the unfinished tea

"Hmm..."

"Bad mother, bad father, leave me to a strange great teacher, don't want me..."

Amber hugged this little ball of meat into her arms, "Mingyu is good, my father and mother didn't want Mingyu" She held Mingyu's little face and wiped her tears to comfort

"We just came out for a lap and went back soon,"

"Sister Amber didn't lie to me?"

"No~ I'm not allowed to cry, I'm all a little cat. When the time comes to return to the palace, I want my father to take you to hunt, let my mother make your favorite jujube cake, and then pluck the beautiful feathers of the talking bird of His Royal Highness, and ........."

"Sister is the best for Mingyu" Mingyu buried herself in Amber's arm and fell asleep peacefully because of a simple comfort.

Amber laboriously carried the sleeping little Mingyu to the couch, looking at the little fleshy face that was still stained with tears,

"It's my sister... "She thought a little lonely.

In the other carriage, Dou Linzhu had just finished his entry, he picked up the tea on the desk and took a sip, a hundred years ago, he traveled back to Dachu, originally to cut off the mortal dust, but he didn't think about the cause and effect of the hundred-year covenant, and he couldn't help but feel that the voice and appearance of Xiang Kang of Chu Ruizong appeared in front of him,

"Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang, I have performed this hundred years of protection, and I have also repaid the original kindness and the worship of your children and grandchildren. ”

However, when he left, he was able to find a cultivation genius whose spiritual root quality had reached the first rank, and it was not a worthwhile trip, although the destroyed immortal edge stone cost him twenty low-grade spirit stones to refine, but compared to the reward that he might give when he went back to the sect this time, it was simply insignificant.

That day, Mingyu's deep purple glow really shocked Dou Linzhu, this cultivator genius who has not been born in 10,000 years actually let himself meet, he almost didn't care about the face of any immortal master, and wanted to directly rob him of the little princess with Shenzong, and finally, after promising that Mingyu would be brought back in ten years, Shenzong finally agreed that Dou Linzhu would take Mingyu back to Shangjimen, and at the same time sent a whole team of cavalry guards from the Shenji Battalion to escort them out of the country with a large number of baggage, and of course, the eldest princess Amber that the third prince Xiang Ji and Xiao Mingyu insisted on bringing. Dou Linzhu pinched a few handprints in the air, and cast another wind spell on the convoy, speeding up the speed of progress, if it is like this all the way, it is impossible to reach the border of Dachu and Yongzhou Ningxi in just half a month, this wind curse can last for three hours, Dou Linzhu silently calculated the spiritual power in his body, it should be able to be consumed in this way to return to the upper pole gate, Zhongzhou's spiritual power is thin, and it is simply too slow to recover spiritual power. As long as you don't encounter tricky "troubles" during your journey through the Hospice Country, you don't need to worry about anything. And this "trouble", he, pouted, how could he be so unlucky to run into it, he put his mind at ease when he thought about it.

Ten miles outside Hexi City, a strange black fog is shrouding a large section of the road and the surrounding dirt mountains.

"Chief, this is ready," said a dark figure from the shadows on the ground, to the thin man crouching on the side of the road,

"Turn on the 'Yellow Spring', and use the souls of the passers-by who didn't escape on the road just now."

He played with the kaleidoscope he had just picked up next to a vendor's corpse and said jokingly.

After a while, the black fog on the road has disappeared, the clear night sky, the bright moonlight shines on the road, and the two people who just talked to each other have disappeared, as if everything just now is just an illusion, just the crooked carts and scattered luggage on the side of the road, which seems to be strange and abnormal on this road.

The strong uneasiness made Xiang Ji put down the book in his hand, just after eating, he had been feeling an indescribable anxiety, and now this feeling is even stronger, he took off the evil spirit jade on his waist and held it in his hand, and took out the stand-in talisman that Dou Guoshi gave when he set off and said that it could save a life, this feeling was more soothing, and he didn't plan to fall asleep tonight for the time being.

Mingyu and Amber had already fallen asleep, and the remaining Dou Linzhu was holding a dilapidated book called "A Glimpse of the Spirit Rune" and studying it carefully.

"General, beyond the small valley in front is Hexi City, and a little further northwest is Jiayong Pass. The convoy slowed down, and the scouts sent out from the front reported the situation to Liu Yan, the Praetorian Guard general who was guarding them.

"Okay, pass the order, speed up, and spend the night at Jia Yong Pass tonight. ”

"Yes!!"

Liu Yan enjoyed this escort mission very much, with Dou Guoshi's immortal skills, the convoy traveled quickly, Da Chu Antai for a hundred years, there was no danger at all along the way, although he had already arrived in the border area, but there was nothing to fear, and when he returned to Beijing this time, he would definitely be promoted, it was really a beautiful thing. And the valley that the scout just talked about, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

After walking for a while, they saw the valley, the low dirt hill surrounded the official road, the road at night was as quiet as ever, and although the convoy had been consumed for more than half a month, there was still a lot of baggage, and at the mouth of the valley, which was not wide, the speed of the procession slowed down a lot, and the scouts cleared the carts and some scattered luggage elsewhere in the middle of the road, and the convoy marched steadily into the valley.
