Every time he kills someone, every time he is stained with blood, Xia Lan will find that his essence is still a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Don't ask about right or wrong, just the pros and cons.

Maybe he's a complete demon in the eyes of others, a psychologically twisted pathological murderer, but so what? In the past, he was also an ordinary person with normal three views among all living beings, but in the end, he found that this malicious world could not contain his kindness.

If he wants to live, if he wants power, if he wants to fulfill his heart's desire-

Then, he must pick up the butcher's knife and cut off his weakness and conscience, and incarnate into an emotionless Shura, who has no regrets about what he is pointing to.

It's a pity that he didn't do it after all, because he is a person, not a killing tool without thoughts and emotions, people's hearts are changeable, and tools don't, because tools don't have hearts.

……

……

The carriage that served as an obstacle fortress in the narrow mountain road was already in tatters, and the belongings inside were scattered under the impact and collision just now, and they were collected with false rings, and then faked the traces of battlefield fighting, Xia Lan stepped onto a war horse that had lost its owner, and rode to the front pass without looking back.

After about a quarter of an hour, maybe more, the familiar shaking of the ground reappeared, only this time the source of the tremor was not behind him, but in the front.

There are many places where people can be hidden in the mountain road, and you can easily hide by drilling into the dense forests on both sides, but Xia Lan did not hide, because he had no need to hide.

In fact, what he thought was right was that it was also a cavalry army that caused the vibrations ahead, but this cavalry was not an enemy. Rather, Joanna fled to the pass and invited reinforcements.

I heard that Viscount Carlin betrayed the kingdom. He even sent troops to intercept the report of the ancient road merchant brigade. The commander of the garrison of the pass immediately sent his elite knights to find out, and this kind of terrifying information related to the safety of the kingdom is often rather credible than not, not to mention that no one would dare to spread false information casually.

The captain who led the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance was a seasoned soldier, and when he saw Xia Lan riding alone in the mountain road, the first thing in his mind was the embarrassed informant lady, according to her description, her brother was caught in a bitter battle to intercept the pursuit of the rebels, and emphasized that the other party was wrapped in bandages all over his body and looked strange. In fact, he is a very good person, so don't judge people by their appearance and cause misunderstandings.

"Who's coming ahead?!"

Reining in his horse and raising his hand to stop the procession, the soldier named Yule asked in a loud voice at Xia Lan.

"Little people Alain! Dare to ask your lordship if you are the garrison of the pass ahead? ”

Xia Lan turned over and dismounted, bowed her head and bent over, her demeanor and tone were full of awe and nervousness, if you want to avoid unnecessary trouble, you must always show proper disguise.

"You're Alain?" Yule frowned and asked when he heard the other party's hoarse and ugly voice.

"Yes, sir!" Xia Lan lowered her eyebrows and said, "Do you know you?" ”

"That's right! Not long ago, your sister sent us an urgent plea for help, and you are being hunted by the army of Viscount Carlin! Yule confirmed the other party's identity and said, "It's just why are you here?" ”

"Returning to your lordship! Because the little one was too scared, he ran away without permission. Xia Lan trembled and said.

Yule snorted, he hated this kind of guy who escaped from the battle the most. Thanks to his sister's good words, he didn't expect to be a coward. Immediately, he no longer gave the other party a good look, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"Now I order you to take me to the place of the battle!"

"Your Excellency...... The little ones obey. Xia Lan secretly glanced at the other party and stopped talking, and finally reluctantly agreed.

In the middle of the night, they came to the battlefield where corpses were strewn all over the field, and seven or eight war horses that had not fled in all directions were chewing the grass on the edge of the forest with their heads down, and they did not panic too much after seeing Yule's cavalry arrive, perhaps they were used to seeing this kind of scene.

"It's tragic!"

A knight subconsciously sighed after seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield.

"One team, two teams! Survey the battlefield, don't let go of any details! Yule looked around with a blank expression, then turned over and dismounted and walked around the carriage where the corpses were most concentrated.

"Huh! I know this guy! Isn't he a knight under Viscount Carlin, Fernley? I also drank with him in Lin'an Town when I was on vacation for the first two years! ”

At this time, a knight pointed to a corpse on the ground and exclaimed.

"We all know these mercenaries, from the Mountain Eagle Mercenary Regiment! The elite scouts who used to be retired from the border garrison of the kingdom, but they all died here today. Another knight said.

These knights surveyed for a long time, and after confirming that the pursuing cavalry was indeed subordinate to Viscount Carlin, they decided to return to the pass, as for the problems afterwards, they were not at all able to mix with these little people, and Xia Lan's forged traces of the battle successfully convinced the other party that the two sides belonged to the same fate, at least they would not find any anomaly suspected of him.

Although the cavalry had an careless and friendly attitude towards Xia Lan, he didn't take it to heart at all, just thinking that Joanna's mother and daughter should be safe and sound for the time being. After this incident, the Kingdom of Anglion, which was aware of the betrayal of Viscount Carlin in advance, was able to delay the time of the destruction of the country, if not the original trajectory of the destruction of the country in history.

Returning to the pass with the cavalry, Xia Lan and Joanna's mother and daughter did not leave immediately after reuniting, not because they didn't want to, but because the pass garrison needed to ask some questions to the two in detail, fortunately, Joanna knew the severity, and did not disclose anything about the teleportation circle, but emphasized that it was the Mountain Eagle team who accidentally discovered Viscount Carlin's betrayal, and suffered this unwarranted disaster.

After a few days of questioning, the garrison finally agreed to let them go, and strictly ordered not to divulge the news of Viscount Carlin's treason. Because the carriage was destroyed on the mountain road, they could only ride to Linquan Town, and Nina, who was not used to the bumps on horseback, was getting worse and worse, even the healing drugs were difficult to work, and she even vomited several times on the way, which made Joanna's heart like a knife, and she just wanted to arrive in Linquan Town as soon as possible to let Nina recuperate and heal.

From early morning to evening, they stopped for almost a day before they arrived in Linquan Town.

It seems that this place has not been affected by the border war at all, business travelers can be seen everywhere, the streets and alleys are filled with lively and noisy bustling scenes, among which the most prosperous business is the inn, and it took four or five Xia Lan to find a hotel with two rooms.

At first, Joanna was still worried about the loss of her belongings, but she didn't expect Xia Lan to tell her that her belongings were safe, and everything was relieved, thinking of the "magic" that Xia Lan had made for their mother and daughter in the carriage, Joanna was naturally convinced.

Soon after settling down, Xia Lan said hello to Joanna and went out, and he was not afraid of what would happen to the mother and daughter in a public occasion like a hotel.

Thanks to his strange appearance covered in bandages, he once again became the center of attention of pedestrians as he walked down the street, perhaps thankfully that there were no patrols to find fault this time.
