Get ready...... Where to?

Seeing Qiqi's serious expression, Hua Duxiu quietly accepted her rippling heart.

"Uh...... Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Ding Qiqi looked serious: "I'm worried that the little fat man won't let you go, so he has to drag you to stay in the army."

You behaved so well in this war and saved him several times, I'm afraid that he will rely on you even more. ”

Hua Duxiu has also thought about this question a lot in the past few days, and nodded:

"Don't worry, I will resign and leave no matter what, besides, the fourth prince will return to the imperial capital to resume his life, and I can't go with him. ”

"What if he doesn't agree?"

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, it's a big deal that you don't want all those military exploits, isn't it enough to change to a free body?"

Ding Qiqi was silent for a while, and suddenly asked again, "Are you going back to the Trapped Demon Valley?"

"Well, it should be, otherwise where am I going?"

Ding Qiqi stared at him with big eyes: "What about me......? Where am I going?"

"Of course you are......" Hua Duxiu suddenly got stuck in the middle of speaking, and turned to think seriously.

According to the previous thoughts, Qiqi naturally went back to the Demon City and went home with him.

It's just that my father and mother made it clear that they were against him being with Qiqi, and there was still Peng Yaoyao waiting for him in the Demon Breaking City, so he took Qiqi back at this time......

Isn't that messy?

It's one thing to mess around, and you have to consider Qiqi's thoughts and her feelings.

She is not her own puppy and kitten, not her own object, she is a living person with feelings, happy and sad, a little girl who is in love and has simple feelings.

It's too much to take her back in a daze and ignore her like before.

Last time was different, last time Jiajia and Ziye took Qiqi back, because she was seriously injured and in a coma, and only by returning to the lair of Broken Demon City was the safest.

Even that time, Shen Lijia didn't tell the Hua family and his father who the woman he brought back was, until they joined the army and left the Trapped Demon Valley, and Hua Qian and Shen Feng didn't know that Ding Qiqi had been in heaven and earth for several months.

Hua Duxiu groaned: "Qiqi, what do you think?"

Ding Qiqi lowered his head and kneaded Hua Duxiu's fingers, and whispered:

"I can't go back to the Five Elements World, you ...... You've hugged and kissed, I, where else can I go but with you?"

Hua Duxiu was suddenly a little moved, and a little distressed, and took her into her arms again.

This time, Ding Qiqi did not resist in the slightest.

Hua Duxiu said softly but resolutely: "Don't worry, I promised to take care of you for the rest of my life, and no one can separate the two of us."

No matter where we go, we have to be together. ”

Ding Qiqi slowly closed his big eyes, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and he hummed softly.

"You go home with me first, there are some things I have to tell my father and mother head-on, to escape...... It's useless to run away. ”

Hua Duxiu stroked Qiqi's little hand and said softly: "My own happiness must be decided by myself." ”

Ding Qiqi slowly opened his big eyes and looked up at Hua Duxiu: "I'm sorry, I made it difficult for you." ”

Touching Ding Qiqi's head lovingly, Hua Duxiu smiled and said: "Silly boy, I am my greatest luck to have you, how can I be difficult?"

When we return to the mainland and then return to the Demon City, I'm afraid it's not far from the New Year, so you can spend the New Year at home with me, and we'll leave at the beginning of spring.

I know you don't like the days of restraint, and so do I, and ...... And I still have some work to do, would you like to go out with me?"

Ding Qiqi nodded and asked in a low voice, "Is it an opportunity to go to the Black Forest to find the resurrection of Changchun's predecessors?"

Hua Duxiu's bright eyes looked out the window, the waves on the sea were undulating, the sky and the sea were connected into a line, and there was a feeling of endless world.

"That's just the first step. The world is so big, I want to take you around, take a look, let's enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world, taste the world's food, okay?"

Ding Qiqi looked happy like a happy child, her head suddenly hit a hard thing, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It was the gold pendant that Hua Duxiu wore around her neck.

Cough.

"Hmph, stinky little flower, you said nice things to coax me again, do you want to run out and continue to look for demonic energy fragments?"

Hua Duxiu looked embarrassed, scratched her head and said, "Oh, treasure hunting doesn't affect the mountains and rivers, isn't that the truth?" haha, haha." ”

Ding Qiqi glanced at him, still sticking to his chest:

"I know, in fact, I also want to see what kind of secrets can be revealed after this monster is collected, especially when you said that the remnant soul of Changchun's predecessor grows abnormally in the supernatural world, obviously this demonic energy is a very special existence for us magicians. ”

Hua Duxiu nodded and said: "Yes, didn't the predecessors also say that the old thief of Tianhe broke through the realm of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, and the demonic qi definitely played a special role in it." ”

"Do you have any clues? How many pieces of this thing are there, and where can I find the next one?"

Hua Duxiu shook his head: "I don't know how many pieces there are in total, I only know that there are at least two pieces in the hands of the North Guo Sect Master of the Iron King Temple, and there are also in the hands of the Great Leader of the Dijing Sticky Pole Division, as for whether there are any other places, I don't know." ”

"Then are we going to rob the Iron King Temple this time, or are we sticking to the pole division?"

Hua Duxiu sneered: "Grab a hair, the Beiguo Sect Leader is a god-king master, what other Dharma kings, Dharma protectors and the like are around, let's go and rob him?" ”

"That's the one who grabbed the sticky rod?"

Hua Duxiu rolled his eyes: "The master of Dijing is like a cloud, and the sticky rod hides dirt and dirt, and it is not easy to rob." ”

"Who the hell are you robbing? ”

Hua Duxiu patted Ding Qiqi's little hand and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Red Underworld first and explore the old bottom of Shu Da Wall!"

Ding Qiqi was stunned by Hua Duxiu's words: "Red Underworld, what's there?"

"I can't say it well, but that day I listened to Shu Da Wall explain the techniques and principles of 'spiritual guidance', and I felt very inspired by the practice of the supernatural world.

As for the special demonic qi of their Shu cultivation, I analyzed and pondered it afterwards, and I felt that it had a dialectical relationship with the demonic qi.

In short, where Shu Daqiang learned the Six Calamities Demon Method, I think it is necessary to explore it. ”

"Tut-tut, it's still a dialectical relationship, you martial artists also study philosophy, huh...... Do you suspect there's something wrong with that place?"

Hua Duxiu nodded: "Whether it is demonic qi or demonic qi, it is very different from the orthodox internal force cultivation, and if you go to the Red Underworld, you may not be able to find a clue of demonic qi fragments, but it will definitely be of great help to our cultivation in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you wherever you go anyway!"

Hua Duxiu touched Ding Qiqi's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "What a good boy." ”

"You're the child, be careful that I set fire to you!"

"Uh......"

Happy times always fly by, and when the imperial fleet returns to the Mobei Military Port, it is already late autumn.

Accompanied by Qiqi and others, the return journey was full of joy. Although Hua Duxiu is still seasick, he is no longer too satisfied compared to the torture when he came.

The dark injuries suffered during the previous battle with Shu Demon were also healed under Ding Qiqi's careful treatment.

It's just that there is no way to repair the nearly inch-long crack at the top of the little red sword, and after trying it, I found that the little red sword is as strong and sharp as ever, and the crack has little impact, and if you want to repair it thoroughly, I am afraid that you will have to find some top magic weapons.

It's useless to be in a hurry.

On other fronts that Hua Duxiu and others could not see, the confrontation between the imperial side and the rebellious Iron King Temple and others became more and more intense.

Whether the second Canghaiyue Counterinsurgency War was won or lost was a matter of the face of the empire, and it also greatly affected the mentality of the ambitionists from all walks of life.

Naturally, the imperial side vigorously publicized that the counterinsurgency war had achieved a phased victory, but due to the severe drought in the sea and month, the expeditionary force could not raise enough food and materials, and the port was about to be closed in winter, so it had to retreat first and wait for the spring of the next year to make plans.

In fact, this argument is full of loopholes, and it really cannot stand up to scrutiny, but the military really can't find a more suitable explanation.

The cultists of the Iron King Temple spread the news of the defeat of the expeditionary force everywhere, and there were only more than 100,000 left of the 500,000 army, and the Chengying King was killed in battle, especially the 200,000 forbidden troops from the imperial capital were almost wiped out, which became the focus of the propaganda of the Iron King Temple.

Their purpose is simple, that is, to let all careerists know that the imperial family is now unprecedentedly weak, and its control over the place is not as strong as before.

At the same time, all the lieutenants and spies of the Sticky Pole Division in all walks of life were scattered, but anyone who spread rumors about the counterinsurgency war was directly arrested and imprisoned.

Even so, the news of the expeditionary force's disastrous defeat spread as quickly as a plague.

The spread and suppression of rumors is a battle in which there is no smoke of gunpowder, and from some angles it is even more intense than a frontal battle.

Hua Duxiu has officially asked the Four Princes to resign, but the Four Princes did not agree to his request to leave the Shenji Camp, but let him return to the Trapped Demon Valley for the time being in the form of unlimited vacations.

If there is a third counterinsurgency battle, the four princes naturally hope that Hua Duxiu can be by his side.

Of course, this is a good wish.

In this war, the empire paid such a price but ended up in a hopeless end, and the giants of the imperial capital are afraid that they will take the opportunity to do something.

Although the four princes have a noble status, King Minghong is the prince of the imperial family, and he is afraid that he will be punished accordingly when he returns to Beijing this time.

Someone always has to take responsibility.

In two months, it is the New Year's pass, King Minghong cherishes the officers and soldiers, and in addition to leaving the necessary alert troops in the Mobei Port District, the rest of the government troops and magician corps recruited from the outside world have all returned to their hometowns.

Hua Duxiu and the other four returned with General Hadan's troops.

The army of the Trapped Demon Valley can be described as suffering heavy losses, the 50,000 elite army when it went there, and now there are only more than 20,000 people who have returned to their homeland with Hadan, and more than half of them have been lost in battle.

But if compared with several other armies, the army of the Trapped Demon Valley is undoubtedly lucky, and in the first battle of Panya Mountain, many troops were directly eliminated in formation.

Shen Lijia paid for dozens of carts for his injured brothers to sit in, and bought a lot of wine and meat along the way, and the warriors from Hadan to the following basically went back with food and drink all the way.

More than a month has passed, the weather is already very cold, and the army of the Trapped Demon Valley has finally arrived in Demon Breaking City.

The welcome of gongs and drums in the middle of the road is not expressed for the time being, Hua Duxiu directly took Ding Qiqi back to the fancy courtyard, planning to take her to officially meet her parents.

This step will have to be taken sooner or later.

A marriage that does not receive the blessing of parents is destined to be unhappy.

The spending couple had already received the news and waited silently in the spacious and luxurious living room in advance.

The face is a little unnatural.

"Dad, mother, are you here?!"

Hua Duxiu asked and shouted at the door, and Erxi and Shu Xiaoxiao, who followed behind him, covered their mouths and chuckled.

Erxi glared at Shu Xiaoxiao: "What are you laughing at!"

Shu Xiaoxiao stuck out her little tongue, glanced at Hua Duxiu with admiration, and quickly lowered her head.

Hua Duxiu turned around and said, "Erxi, why are you still bullying Xiaoxiao after not seeing you for a year?"

Erxi argued: "How can I bully her, I am good to her." ”

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Childe misunderstood, Sister Xi takes care of Xiaoxiao very much, and we ...... It's like a brother. ”

"Really? I don't believe it. Erxi grew up with me since she was a child, and I don't know about her little caution?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled, blushing and not daring to speak.

It's so happy to be able to chat with Master Hua, and to be so close.

Erxi raised his hands high: "Young master, I have been wronged, where do I have a careful eye, I can be generous!"

Hua Duxiu chuckled: "You, you." Xiaoxiao, don't call her Sister Xi in the future, she's not as old as you, a little girl.

If you have to call her, call her 'Second Sister'!

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and blushed, and only mosquitoes were left in her mouth.

"Yes, yes, Childe......"

Seeing that Erxi was still fighting, Hua Duxiu waved his hand to interrupt the two of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's time for Qiqi and I to go in." ”
