He jumped off the fence and patrolled the village road elsewhere in Tayuan Village until a loud whistle sounded and everyone returned to the center of Tayuan Village.

Tayuan Village, which has hundreds of people, is now left with few people, and everyone else has become monsters that are neither human nor ghostly.

Overnight, many families were destroyed, and the cries rang out, and the voices were full of desolation and despair.

Xu Daoyun was expressionless, didn't say a word, and followed everyone back to the camp.

Xie Zhi County sent people to bring these refugees to Anyan Town for resettlement, and by the way, they transported grain and grass supplies.

Xu Daoyun sat alone in front of the tent, looking at the doctors who were running back and forth to heal the wounded, his heart was numb, and he couldn't think.

Suddenly, Zhao Sijie came over and asked, "What are you doing sitting here, weren't you still clamoring to repair just now, why don't you go in and rest?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head, "Things must be reversed, but now I can't sleep." ”

"Weirdos. Zhao Sijie threw down two words and strode into Nie Qingsheng's main account.

Xu Daoyun's current mental state is not interested in eavesdropping on the conversation between their father and daughter at all, but his ears are too sensitive, and the conversation in the tent still reaches his ears word for word.

Maybe it was because the previous enlightenment was useful, or because of Nie Qingsheng's timely rescue just now, Zhao Sijie's tone was obviously much softened, although it was still cold, but at least there was no more-for-tat.

Zhao Sijie also promised to go back to Qingping County to gather people, Nie Qingsheng couldn't rest assured, and asked her to call Xu Daoyun in.

Xu Daoyun already had a guess in his heart, he smiled bitterly, followed Zhao Sijie into the main tent, and bowed: "Xu Daoyun, I have seen the commander." ”

Nie Qingsheng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, you can rest and recuperate, and return to Qingping County with Zhao Qizhu tomorrow to gather people." ”

Zhao Sijie said: "I can go back alone, let's let him stay and deal with the water demon." ”

Nie Qingsheng said: "This is an order. Then he looked at Xu Daoyun, "Remember, don't delay on the road, you must protect her thoroughly, if there is a half-point difference, I can't spare you." ”

Xu Daoyun pursed his lips secretly, nodded and said, "I understand, I will ensure that the Lord of the Zhao Banner is safe." ”

Nie Qingsheng's demeanor eased, sat on the first place, took a sip of the teacup, and said: "This time you killed the enemy bravely, and also killed a goblin, I remember you a great achievement, when the matter here is over, you will be rewarded heavily when you return to Yunweisi." ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

The two withdrew from the main account, and Xu Daoyun asked, "Lord Zhaoqi, when will we leave?"

Zhao Sijie said: "Tomorrow morning, hurry up and rest, don't oversleep." ”

Then he turned and left.

Xu Daoyun stretched his waist and returned to the tent, seeing Zhu Bo lying in the bathtub to force poison, he asked with a smile, "Brother Zhu, do you want me to rub your back?"

The corners of Zhu Bo's eyes, who were closed, twitched, and he reluctantly opened his mouth and said, "Give... Get out of here!"

Xu Daoyun laughed, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to close his eyes and breathe.

Tonight is a hard fight, and it consumes a lot, so you need to hurry up and get back to your peak condition.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Daoyun said hello to Zhu Bo, and then rushed to Qingping County with Zhao Sijie.

The two were speechless all the way, knowing that when they arrived at the foot of Yushan Mountain, Xu Daoyun took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "Lord Zhao, it seems that the relationship between you and the commander has eased somewhat?"

Zhao Sijie suddenly grabbed the reins, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Nosy." ”

With a flick of the reins, the horse ran ahead.

Xu Daoyun followed closely and shouted: "Lord Zhao Qi, you slow down, the commander has told me to protect you, if you bump into it, his old man will have to pick my skin." ”

Zhao Sijie's speed did not slow down and quickly ran on the mountain road, her angry voice floated along the mountain wind, "You are long-winded, be careful that I am not polite to you!"

Xu Daoyun said loudly: "From here to Qingping County, it will take three or five days to say less, if you don't speak all the way, Lord Zhao Qi, then how can I be good?"

Zhao Sijie was puzzled: "I don't speak, what's in your way?"

Xu Daoyun said of course: "Of course, I don't have to say it when I was alone, but now it's two people, if I can't talk anymore to relieve my boredom, then it's really like a year." ”

Zhao Sijie turned around and scolded: "Why are you so verbose, if you don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person." ”

Xu Daoyun grinned, "Of course, you have to talk more while you can still speak, if you really become dumb in the future, won't it be too late to regret it?"

"Crooked!" Zhao Sijie glanced at him, looked ahead, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, happy from the heart, and his mood was better than ever.

Xu Daoyun saw it in his eyes, and he was happy for her in his heart, although Zhao Sijie refused to admit it on the surface, the father-daughter relationship between her and Nie Qingsheng had eased.

At least Zhao Sijie began to be willing to try to accept Nie Qingsheng's compensation and love, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and one day she will be able to untie the knot and accept everything calmly.

The two crossed Yushan Mountain and came to the east of the Wangsi River, Xu Daoyun suddenly saw half of the black giant tail exposed on the surface of the river, which was extremely huge, and lay on the tiled house that was submerged by the river.

Xu Daoyun drove forward and made a silent gesture to Zhao Sijie, and the two of them dismounted, and walked along Guanlu Avenue to the east.

After walking for several miles, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Daoyun took out the wine bag and took a sip, and said fearfully: "This tail is really big enough, if it hits, I'm afraid that even the monk who commands such a cultivation will not be able to carry it." ”

Zhao Sijie had a sad look on his face, "This snake demon is so powerful before it shows its true body, if it really wants to break through Jiang Depo, what's the use of us finding more people? It's just to add casualties..."

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the commander has already asked the Yun Wei Division of Qingping Mansion for an increase in personnel last night, and I think that there will be real masters to solve this matter soon." ”

After that, he glanced at the thoughtful Zhao Sijie, hugged the back of his head with both heads, and said lazily: "What a good father who loves his daughter, this time I can be regarded as stained with your light." ”

Zhao Sijie glanced at him and said angrily: "You don't give me nonsense, hurry up." ”

Xu Daoyun shrugged and turned on his horse.

Two days later, the two arrived in Jindao Town, which was still surrounded by a golden wheat field, and the sunlight was slanting and beautiful.

As the sun gradually set, Xu Daoyun took Zhao Sijie to the Golden Rice Inn in Jindao Town, but unfortunately it was already a matter of fact.

The two shopkeepers who were willing to fight and suffer were gone, perhaps for some reason, to beg for a living somewhere else.

Xu Daoyun opened two upper rooms, and then ordered the shopkeeper's meal to be delivered to the room.

The shopkeeper kept the accounts, grinned, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Son, a new green building has been opened in the east of the town, called Ning Xiangju, and the little ladies in it are as beautiful as flowers, and their skin is so tender that they can pinch out water." Childe has a tired journey, why don't you go for recreation?"

Zhao Sijie frowned, didn't say a word, just glanced at Xu Daoyun.

Xu Daoyun said: "Shopkeeper, that Ning Xiangju gave you a lot of money." I don't know who accounts for you or them when you get the guests and divide the accounts?"

The shopkeeper put down the wolf's pen, "Childe smiled, those girls are all who contribute, how can I take the lion's share? ”

Xu Daoyun grinned and said, "Okay, when I am full of food and drink, I will go to the Ning Xiang Ju to relax." ”

Then he turned and went upstairs, and shouted at the top of the stairs, "Hurry up and get the food." ”

"Good. The shopkeeper replied loudly.

Zhao Sijie returned to the room, slapped his palm on the table of the Eight Immortals, glared angrily at the young man with a silver ingot turned upside down in his hand, and said word by word: "Xu Daoyun!"

Xu Daoyun was startled, retracted his hand and said, "Lord Zhao Qi, why is this, fierce and vicious?"

Zhao Sijie said angrily: "Now everyone is still fighting against the water demon on the front line of the Sijiang River, you and I are in danger and we should do our best to complete it, and there will be no mistakes." But what kind of bullshit Qinglou are you going to now, you are worthy of your father... Does the commander trust you?"

Xu Daoyun spread his hands and said without any concern: "Anyway, we will also leave tomorrow morning, it's a big deal that I'll come back early, and I can't miss the business." Besides, when a new store opens, it should be supported and supported. ”

Zhao Sijie was furious, and reached out to grab Xu Daoyun's collar, "You obscene and shameless disciple, I thought you were some kind of young talent, I'm just a womanizer, disgusting!"

Xu Daoyun was about to explain, when suddenly his ears moved, and he glanced at Zhao Sijie.

Xiao Er's voice came from outside the door, "Two guest officers, the wine and food you want are here." ”

Xu Daoyun said: "Come in." ”

Xiao Er pushed the door in, put the food on the table, and then retreated.

Xu Daoyun got up and closed the door, but when he turned his head, he saw Zhao Sijie holding a piece of fish meat and sending it to his mouth.

Xu Daoyun hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

Zhao Sijie was in pain, struggling and scolding: "Let go, what are you doing!"

Xu Daoyun silenced her, and then lowered her voice and said, "There is a problem with these drinks and dishes, so you can't eat them." ”

Although Zhao Sijie had doubts in her heart, she nodded cautiously and whispered, "What's going on?"

Xu Daoyun let go of his hand and said close to her ear: "When Fang was just outside the town, the yang energy was in full bloom, and as soon as he entered the town, the yang energy immediately weakened, and the yin energy was pervasive everywhere, don't you feel a little cold on the soles of your feet and back?"

Zhao Sijie nodded, "I thought it was cold at night, but it turned out to be caused by the strong yin qi?"

"Yes, there must be something strange in this town, I just heard from the shopkeeper that a new Qinglou has opened in the east of the town, so I guessed whether the eccentricity of this town will have something to do with Qinglou, so I will plan it and agree.

Zhao Sijie said distressedly: "So that's the case, but we still have a task to do, how can we delay?"

Xu Daoyun proposed: "I don't think it's as good as this, it's not far from here to Qingping County, and you can set off alone tomorrow." ”

Zhao Sijie raised her eyebrows and sneered: "So, you are going to Ningxiangju tonight to find out?

Xu Daoyun said with a serious expression: "I don't have any dirty thoughts, I just want to distinguish between evil and evil, good and evil, and eliminate harm for the people." ”

Zhao Sijie glanced at him, and suddenly slapped the table and got up, "Eradicating the evil is what I should do for Yun Weisi, I can't let you go to the demon cave alone, I will go with you tonight to eliminate harm for the people." ”

Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "It's good to have one more helper, even if you want to die, there is a companion on Huangquan Road who can talk, but it is not lonely." ”

Zhao Sijie said angrily: "You just died, can you stop the crow's mouth?"

Xu Daoyun shrunk his neck and smiled, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." ”

As the night deepened, Xu Daoyun went downstairs alone, greeted the shopkeeper, and left the Golden Rice Inn.

After walking a short distance, Zhao Sijie suddenly turned out of the alley and said dissatisfiedly: "I am the master of the Qingqi Guard, what kind of body does a woman disguise herself as a man?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "There's no son, the kind of place in Qinglou only entertains men, and women are all staying, unless they want to go in and beg for food, so they have to dress up as men." ”

Although Zhao Sijie was reluctant, she was helpless.

This town is no better than the county seat, at night, the doors and windows of every house are closed, the door is not hung with lanterns, the road is dark, and a few pedestrians are vaguely rushing to their homes.

The town is not big, the two of them followed the village road all the way to the east, and sure enough, they saw an elegant pavilion that was incompatible with this town, which was three stories high, flying to the eaves of the building, and the ribbons were fluttering.

Xu Daoyun suddenly became suspicious, and said to Zhao Sijie with a smile: "Look, if you really want to do business, how can you build a Qinglou in such a deserted town, most of the people in the town are farmers, how can you have spare money to come to this wine pond meat forest to sell gold caves?

Zhao Sijie nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's indeed a little strange." What do we do in a moment, do we just do it or do we do it all around?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to do it, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, let's first find out the details and road numbers of those little ladies, and then it's not too late to do it." ”

Zhao Sijie kicked him, "Don't use that strange statement. ”

Xu Daoyun was in pain, gasped and said, "I know, I know." ”

The two walked to the front of Ning Xiangju, and they could vaguely hear the laughter of a woman like a silver bell coming from the attic.

Xu Daoyun found that the corridor on the second and third floors was not like other Qinglou, where many scantily clad women stood waving shawls to attract guests, and only dozens of ribbons of different colors fluttered, which was dazzling.

Xu Daoyun stared at the ribbon for a long time, and his spirit was in a trance for a moment, he was busy suppressing distracting thoughts, restraining his mind, and no longer daring to stare at the ribbon intently.

Xu Daoyun said to Zhao Sijie on the side: "Gather your mind, this Qinglou is very ghostly, I almost lost my mind just now, you must be careful." ”

Zhao Sijie nodded heavily.

Pushing open the closed attic door, before entering it, a steaming fragrance came to his face, Xu Daoyun sniffed and said, "It's quite fragrant." ”

Zhao Sijie raised her hand to fight, but Xu Daoyun hurriedly avoided it.

The two of them crossed the threshold and walked in, the building was extremely empty, the solid wood floor reflected the colorful lights on the roof, and the thin gauze tents hung down from the beams, and the lights flickered, and they only felt top-heavy.
