Spring has arrived, and the northern grasslands are no longer snow-capped, but vibrant.

The green of the grassland is refreshing, and the transparent and clear river flows through the meadows, meandering and moving.

The sky was white and white as if it were within reach.

But for some reason, on the way back to Yan Liuyuan, he always felt that the sky was also overcast, and the dark clouds never dissipated.

Until the moment he saw Sister Xiaoyu, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly retreated, and the sky light went straight to the earth through the dark clouds, and the abyss was also illuminated.

Sister Xiaoyu originally felt that the other party seemed to be a different person when she saw Yan Liuyuan, but when the other party saw her, she immediately changed back.

For Yan Liuyuan, Sister Xiaoyu is like a solid anchor, as long as this anchor is still there, he will not get lost in the deep sea.

In front of Sister Xiaoyu, he is no longer a god, nor is he a young male lord on the grassland, but Yan Liuyuan.

"Sister Xiaoyu, my brother is still alive," Yan Liuyuan said softly while sitting in the big tent of the royal court.

Sister Xiaoyu, who was sewing clothes for Yan Liuyuan, suddenly froze, and she turned her head to look at Yan Liuyuan: "He ...... Where is he?"

Yan Liuyuan took off his black face armor from his cheek and said, "But I didn't go to him." ”

There were only the two of them in the big tent of the royal court, and Sister Xiaoyu saw a trace of gloom in Yan Liuyuan's expression, and she said, "Is it because you are afraid?" ”

Yan Liuyuan suddenly said something else: "Sister, you know my ability, every time I used it, there would be a backlash." ”

Sister Xiaoyu said with a gentle expression: "The first time I discovered your ability, it was when your brother's bones were broken, at that time we were held hostage by the Li army to work, you wrestled every day and your nose and face were swollen, and those who were cursed by you fell to death." ”

"Well," Yan Liuyuan nodded: "That curse backlash is very simple, what I curse, the corresponding backlash will come to me." But since the battle in the valley, the earth has been cracking, and the cracks in the ground have spread far away, but I have not suffered any backlash, and the cracked earth is like opening the shackles on my own body, and every time I use it, the shackles will be opened a little more. ”

Sister Xiaoyu did not rush to respond after hearing this, but listened to Yan Liuyuan continue to speak in silence.

Yan Liuyuan said: "The crack on the shackles is like a crack in the abyss, constantly expanding. I felt as if some kind of will was calling me to be a part of that will, no, more accurately, to take the place of that great will. It is only when I return to you that I feel that the rift is slowly closing, and I will have more ...... Human feelings. ”

"Liuyuan, you have unified the grassland, don't use your ability anymore," Sister Xiaoyu sat opposite Yan Liuyuan and whispered.

"Well, I'll try to be restrained," Yan Liuyuan agreed.

"Then what are you going to do after that," Sister Xiaoyu asked.

Yan Liuyuan was silent for a long time: "This time in the south, thousands of innocent people died in the slaughter of the city, and some women were humiliated because of the Qiu Dun Department, I don't know how to face him, I don't know how to tell him, his closest brother has become the person he hates the most." ”

"But you know, although he wants you to be a good person, he will never abandon you because of this kind of thing, have you ever thought about how hard he is looking for you now? You know your brother's character, if he doesn't see you for a day, he will look for you day by day until he dies," Sister Xiaoyu said.

Yan Liuyuan stopped talking.

At this time, Sister Xiaoyu looked at Yan Liuyuan's expression and suddenly realized that in fact, Liuyuan was not unable to face Ren Xiaosu, but unable to face herself.

At that time, in the market town, Liuyuan would imitate Ren Xiaosu's tone when he spoke, and he would do whatever Ren Xiaosu liked.

This child has had an inexplicable admiration for Ren Xiaosu since he was a child, and he is bent on taking Ren Xiaosu as his role model, and wants to become a person like Ren Xiaosu.

But in the end, he became the kind of person that the other party hated the most, and Yan Liuyuan was scared.

"Sister, give me some time," Yan Liuyuan said, "I'll go check on the matter of Yanchi first." ”

As he spoke, Yan Liuyuan put on the black mask again, and when he walked out of the royal tent, there were already countless tribesmen waiting for him outside, Hassan led the horse for him, and the servant Lanqi knelt respectfully on the ground, willingly becoming a horse stool.

This is the treatment of the gods.

Yan Liuyuan checked the deceased's injuries first, and Fu Lanqi confirmed on the side: "They are all knife wounds, but they should be heavy knives, and the chopping force is extremely strong, almost cutting people in two, and the ears have also been cut off, like a ritual." ”

Yan Liuyuan nodded: "Are there any survivors, have you seen the appearance of the perpetrator?" ”

"No, these twelve people who went to the salt pond to carry salt are all dead," said one of the leaders.

Su Guyan squatted next to the corpse: "The knife wounds are all frontal, no one escaped, they are all the bravest men on the grassland." Master, do you want to chase them to the north to avenge them? ”

"Let's bury the warriors first," Yan Liuyuan said calmly.

After speaking, a few falcons flew in the sky, and if no one landed next to the corpse, the surrounding tribesmen all knelt down, for the steppe people, if the body of the deceased can be eaten by the falcon, it means that the soul of the deceased can fly to the sky.

But in the past, the deceased had to be dragged to the grassland for seven days for a sky burial, and it was never as magical as it was in front of him.

In their opinion, this is the funeral held by Yan Liuyuan for the clansmen in person, and it is the baptism of the gods.

Yan Liuyuan turned his horse and walked in the direction of Yanchi, and hundreds of soldiers followed him as if he were following him.

When they arrived at the periphery of the salt pond, Yan Liuyuan had already seen the bloodstains in front of them.

On the white salt pool, the purple-brown blood stains were extremely eye-catching, and Yan Liuyuan asked, "Is the body found here?"

"Yes master," replied a prairie man.

"Have any of you seen those people from the north in recent years?" Yan Liuyuan asked.

"No," Servant Lanqi shook his head, "It is said that the most active in the north should be my Servan Division, but I have never seen them." ”

"Then it's strange," Yan Liuyuan said, "why did these people suddenly go south and get so close to our territory?"

At this moment, a black figure appeared on the vast salt pond in the distance, and Hassan subconsciously moved forward, leading his men to form a defensive position in front of Yan Liuyuan.

Yan Liuyuan watched the other party gradually approach on horseback, and then said calmly: "It's here." ”
