Due to the continuous war between the Eastern Kingdom and the Red Eagle Empire, the border area between the two countries has long been deserted.

In the border area, a huge cemetery was set up in Dongfang to bury many officers and soldiers and civilians who died in the war, including the parents of Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao and fellow villagers.

Every cemetery in the Heavenly Continent is guarded by a grave keeper, and the grave keeper in the border area is actually a masked woman.

The reason why this masked woman is masked is because there is a striking and terrible burn scar on her originally beautiful face!

The burn scars on her face were due to the war, and she will never forget that painful night and those five bastard men with beastly faces.

Those bastard men were soldiers of the Red Eagle Empire, so she hated the Red Eagle Empire.

However, her savior is the current general of the Red Eagle Empire.

And that general is Tong Tianxiao.

Tong Tianxiao often came to visit this masked woman.

Because of Tong Tianxiao's meticulous care, the masked woman also developed feelings for him.

However, the masked woman is just having a crush and has not had the courage to confess so far.

The masked woman lived alone in a small wooden hut, guarding the cemetery, but she was not afraid at all.

Luckily, there weren't any wild beasts around.

She also grows large patches of vegetables and grain behind the wooden house to support herself.

As for oil, salt, vinegar and tea, fortunately, there were often traveling merchants passing by here, so she traded with them with grain and vegetables.

In addition to Tong Tianxiao, there is actually a young man who often comes to visit her.

And that young man is Zhang Kuo!

Zhang Kuo couldn't bear to see the masked woman living here alone, and persuaded her many times to let her move in with her, but the masked woman just refused.

At this moment, Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao rode Pegasus and landed near the cabin and dismounted.

Tong Tianxiao also glanced at the unlit cabin and said, "It seems that the grave keeper has gone to bed." ”

Zhang Kuo stared at the cabin and said solemnly, "Do you know who the grave keeper here is?"

Tong Tianxiao stared at the cabin and replied expressionlessly: "I grew up with her, and I belong to the same village, of course I know." ”

Zhang Kuo looked at Tong Tianxiao's charming side face, and said angrily: "You still know her!"

Tong Tianxiao was silent, turned around and walked towards the cemetery.

Zhang Kuo immediately followed, walked side by side with Tong Tianxiao, and said, "I heard what Sister Tianrou said, and you often come to visit her, I didn't expect you to have a conscience ......."

Tong Tian smiled and said: "Actually, I have long known that you have lived in Daha Forest all these years, and I am also a lot relieved to have you take care of her." ”

Zhang Kuo was silent.

The graves are neatly arranged, and all have tombstones.

Although they are all mounds, there are no weeds.

It is also the job of the grave keeper to hoe the mound.

Zhang Kuo walked to his parents' graves and said as he walked, "I'm going to visit my parents' graves." ”

Tong Tianxiao immediately followed and said, "I'll go too." ”

Zhang Kuan walked briskly and said sharply: "You are not allowed to come!"

Tong Tianxiao didn't listen to him, and still went his own way.

Zhang Kuo didn't bother to bother with him anymore, so he let him follow.

The two stopped in front of two mounds.

Zhang Kuo stared at his parents' graves and said, "Dad, Mom, my son has come to see you." I'll also bring a bastard for you to meet. ”

Tong Tianxiao was not angry when he heard Zhang Kuo's insults, so he looked at the grave and said, "Uncle and aunt, I came to see you." ”

The two bowed a few times and stood in front of the grave.

Tong Tianxiao suddenly said: "I was really sloppy, I passed by the town just now and forgot to buy some incense, candles, and paper money." ”

Zhang Kuo said coldly: "You are almost thirty years old, and you will forget even this little thing." Are you sleeping with that old woman and sleeping stupid?", he said, turned around and walked towards the grave of Tong Tianxiao's parents.

Tong Tian smiled bitterly and followed again.

Zhang Kuo came to the grave of Tong Tianxiao's parents, and without saying a word, he bowed a few times.

Tong Tianxiao stood in front of his parents' graves, was silent for a while, and then knelt down and kowtowed a few times, then looked at the tombstone and was stunned.

Zhang Kuo watched coldly and remained silent.

The two were silent for a long time, and Zhang Kuo suddenly said, "Give the villagers a few bows, and send me back when you're done." ”

Tong Tianxiao stood up and said, "Don't you know the way back?"

Zhang Kuo frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tong Tianxiao became serious, glanced around, and said, "You go first, I suddenly feel that something is wrong here." I want to stay and see what the hell is going on?"

Zhang Kuo also glanced around, didn't find anything unusual, and said, "It's just a cemetery, what's wrong?"

He hugged his arms, smiled at Tong Tian coldly, and said, "Did you help the Red Eagle Empire kill too many civilians, I'm afraid that this place is haunted?"

Tong Tianxiao suddenly understood something, and hurriedly pulled his legs and ran to the cabin!

Seeing this, Zhang Kuo hurriedly chased after him and asked loudly, "Hey, where are you going?"

When the two came to the vicinity of the cabin, they found that they were blocked by a group of men in front of them!

There are more than 50 men in this group, all wearing black power suits, carrying big knives and crossbow quivers on their waists, lined up in a row, all holding huge wooden crossbows with red lacquer, and the arrows have been wound, aiming at Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao!

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately stopped, separated from each other by five meters.

One of the sturdy middle-aged men shouted to the two of them, "Don't move!"

Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao could see the origin of these men at a glance, because there were three blood-red characters written on their clothes!

"Divine Ballista"!

Both of them knew that the Divine Ballista Guard was the elite crossbowman of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Country, but they didn't expect the Divine Ballista Guard to appear here.

The reason why the Eastern Kingdom was able to protect half of the country under the siege of many hostile forces was also thanks to the merits of the Divine Crossbow Guard.

The crossbow guard terrified the cavalry, and also made the "magician" talk change.

It's a pity that the crossbow guards are very lacking, and the soldiers must have innate divine power in order to pull the big crossbow in their hands.

Tong Tianxiao had already guessed something, and deliberately asked, "What are you god crossbow guards doing here?"

Suddenly, I heard a woman say leisurely: "Of course I'm here to kill you." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman in black with a black scarf masked came out from behind the crossbow guard, and this woman was the grave keeper here!

She stood in front of the Divine Ballista, staring at Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao, and carrying a black round burden in her right hand.

This female grave keeper's name is Mi Tianrou, who is about the same age as Tong Tianxiao.

Tong Tianxiao smiled and said, "Tianrou, did you call these people here?"

Mi Tianrou said, "That's right. Actually, I've been hiding something from you for a long time. ”

Zhang Kuo asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Mi Tianrou said: "Xiao Kuo, why are you standing with this traitor, come here." ”

Zhang Kuo glanced at the smiling Tong Tianxiao, then looked at Mi Tianrou, and said, "Sister Tianrou, I just know that you have something to hide from me......"

Mi Tianrou said: "You all know that I have no father since I was a child, and I have no father to support the family, but my mother and I can eat and clothe every day. Don't you think it's weird?"

Zhang Kuo stopped talking, and vaguely guessed something.

Tong Tianxiao smiled and said: "Actually, I have long heard from my parents, although you take your mother's surname, in fact, you are the illegitimate daughter of the current Divine Crossbow Guard General, right?"

Mi Tianrou said: "Yes, I am indeed an illegitimate daughter. You should have heard that although my father was a general in charge of 300,000 divine crossbow guards, he was very afraid of his wife. My father had always lived a very depressed life, but fortunately he met my mother and adopted her. My mother was gentle and virtuous, and my father regained the dignity of a man from my mother. But my father always didn't like me as a daughter, because he was patriarchal. I'm working with these crossbow guards today because I want to kill you, to please my father, and to make him value my existence. Also, of course, it's for the 'spiritual heart'......" After speaking, he focused his gaze on Tong Tian and smiled.

Tong Tian's smile was as steady as Mount Tai, still smiling.

He knew that the woman in front of him was also hated because of love.

He has long known Mi Tianrou's feelings, but he doesn't feel in love with her.

Zhang Kuo hurriedly asked: "Sister Tianrou, you said that you are the illegitimate daughter of the general of the Divine Crossbow Guard?

Mi Tianrou replied: "Yes, that's right. ”

Zhang Kuo actually said coldly: "Sister Tianrou, I really feel sorry for you, how can you be the daughter of that coward?"

When Mi Tianrou heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Xiao Kuo, what are you talking nonsense?!"
