Chapter 104: Southeast
Silently put away the token of the Overlord Army. Xiang Yantian's face suddenly became solemn. She knew that the truth might be worse than she had thought. Because the overlord army that directly belonged to the emperor fell into the hands of others. She didn't think that her father would send someone to deal with a well-known Qing official. That would only make him lose the hearts of the people.
Take Xiang Yantian's initiative into view. Li Yuan's face also became gloomy. He asked, "What's wrong. Is it ......?"
Li Yuan trembled. His eyes were full of surprise. But I can't say anything about that sentence.
"Hmm." Xiang Yantian nodded helplessly. The worry in his eyes was even stronger." Grandpa Yuan. The Assassin must have come for you. I hope you will be careful in the future."
Merely. But she concealed the true identity of the assassin. Telling the true identity of the man in black who belongs to the Overlord Army not only doesn't help. It will also make Li Yuan's heart even more anxious. Facing Li Yuan, who has a white beard and is old. She couldn't bear to let him not even have a stable old age.
After the silence. Xiang Yantian's bones revealed a firmness. Suddenly, he said, "Grandpa Yuan. I'm going to leave now. You take care."
Looking at the firmness in Xiang Yan's eyes, which revealed from his bones. Li Yuan was silent. Finally. When Xiang Yan turned around and was about to leave. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "You have to be careful. After all, your mother is your own flesh and blood......"
Its voice is melodious. With a sense of amazement. and a deep powerlessness. Slowly reverberates in the air. Xiang Yan in the middle of the march suddenly paused. I couldn't help but bow my head. Her eyes were covered by jet-black hair. Others can't see her face at this time.
"Yan'er ......" stands aside. Yan Qing's face revealed a sense of worry.
"I'm fine. Brother Yan. Let's go......" still with his head bowed. Xiang Yantian shook his body. Continue to move forward. It didn't take long for him to step out of the courtyard gate of the Li Mansion.
The sky is full of dark clouds. Occasionally, one or two tenacious grasses pop up on the wide official road. But it was trampled by a gust of horses' hooves. On the road to the southeastern steppe. A horse-drawn carriage galloped all the way. Rarely stops. Even stopping is just to replenish the water and food needed.
In the carriage. Yan Qing looked at Xiang Yantian, who had barely spoken along the way. The brow has also been tightly locked. He wanted to persuade her to get some rest. But looking at the persistence on her face that seems to come from the depths of her bones. He swallowed it back.
Long rush. Let Xiang Yantian turn pale. There seems to be a white mist in the field of vision. Hazy and hazy. Even mentally it's a bit trance-like. But. She still gritted her teeth and held on. There was no unnecessary stop on the way. Her target was firmly locked on a sect witch gang deep in the southeastern grassland. The initiator of the recent turmoil. Even in the recent chaos of the world, there is a shadow of it.
Xiang Yantian understood. With his current strength, it is impossible to compete with the power of the palace. Therefore. She had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Started from the Witch Gu Gang, who obviously had the power of the imperial court behind them.
The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker. The sky is getting gloomy. It was like it was going to be crushed to the ground that day. The air is also unusually humid. It seems that all can be wrung out of the water. In the prelude to the coming storm. At the end of the road there is the outline of a city. Like a gloomy beast crawling on the earth.
Maybe it's because of the weather. Xiang Yantian's face became a little paler. She gritted her teeth.
Take your gaze away from the window. Yan Qing looked at Xiang Yantian's face even worse than before. Finally, I couldn't help but reproach: "Yan'er. It's not an option to continue like this. Ahead is the last city before reaching the Witch Gang. You've got to get some rest."
Yan Qing's tone revealed incomparable firmness. It seems that Xiang Yantian did not do what he wanted. He would also forcibly take her to rest.
Keep your head down. She bit her lower lip hard. A trace of crimson blood slowly flowed down.
The clouds rolled in the sky. It's getting lower and lower. Constantly pressing against the city on the ground. It's like opening a big black mouth. to devour the cities of the earth; Suddenly flashes of lightning flashed through the rolling dark clouds. In a flash. Raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground in a steady stream.
This rain was heavy. Just all at once. The ground was completely soaked. Soon there were streams flowing on the ground. It's as if God has endured it for a long time. At this moment it finally broke out.
No one thought of it. This rain is not only very heavy. God seems to be insane. It rained so hard from dusk until late at night. And there is no sign that it will stop. on the streets. The rain that didn't flow well had accumulated to the depths of a man's knees.
In the inn. Yan Qing looked out the window and there was a non-stop pouring rain. The face is a little ugly. Looking at the rain outside the window, I was stunned. Moments later. He came to his senses. Withdrew his gaze from the room.
On the bed behind him. Xiang Yantian was falling asleep deeply. She leaned sideways. His complexion, which had been very pale, improved slightly. But her eyebrows kept frowning slightly. Slender eyelashes tremble slightly. A pair of slender hands also tightly grasped the mattress on his chest.
looked at Xiang Yantian, who even had a trace of pain in his sleep. Yan Qing walked to the side of the bed. Silently sat down. Reach out. Gently brushing the green silk on her forehead. Sighed deeply.
Since leaving Li Yuan's mansion on that day. Xiang Yantian has been busy on the road. None of them really stopped to rest. Now. At Yan Qing's forcible request. She had to rest. However. Just a little relaxation. Her nerves, which had been tense, collapsed. Thick fatigue drowned her like a tidal wave.
Early the next morning. The dark clouds in the sky have finally cleared. It's just that the sound of water dripping can still be heard outside the window. Gently cover the quilt for Xiang Yan. Yan Qing stood up silently. Turned around and walked out of the room. He waited by her bedside all night.
The tiredness in his eyes is hard to hide. But his steps remained firm and steady. Because with his skill, he will not be weak without sleeping. Close the door carefully. Didn't make the slightest sound. For fear of waking up the people who were still sleeping in the room. He went downstairs.
Called the little guy. Yan Qing was about to ask him to send some food upstairs. But I overheard some of the guests downstairs talking.
"Hey. Have you heard? The houses in the slums of the West Side have collapsed a lot."
"Oops, oops. God is angry. It is said that this and the recent chaos in the world are caused by a magic sword and the demon girl who uses the magic sword. Now even God can't help it......"
Yan Qing's expression was slightly gloomy. But he still arranged the little guy as usual. Tell him to prepare some food. Then he silently went upstairs.
