Zhan Wuxian's footsteps were heavy on the road, and his thoughts were myriad, and he felt that Cai Cheng had changed, becoming a little rusty, becoming a little ruthless, and becoming blurry and unable to see clearly. When he was about to get home, Gongzi Xiong Jian was walking in a hurry on the road, his eyes wandered, and when he saw Zhan Wuxian, he didn't dare to raise his head, so he hurriedly shouted: "Sir." ”

"Hmm!"

Gongzi Xiong Jian walked more than a dozen steps away, and Zhan Wuxian suddenly shouted, "Stop." ”

Gongzi Xiong stood still, the clothes on his body were shaking with his body, he didn't dare to turn around, he didn't dare to face Zhan Wuxian.

"Where are you from?"

"I ...... I ......, my father-in-law asked me to do something, and as soon as I finished it, I met my husband. ”

"Okay, there you go." That's it, so why bother.

When I got home, I opened the door, and a burst of aroma came to my nose, and the table full of meals in the house was ready, including mutton, chicken, green vegetables, and a fish in a large clay pot in the middle. The two little guys were lying on the table and eager to try, but they didn't dare to move because Mo Wuya was on the side.

Zhan Wuxian, who was still sad just now, immediately had a smile on his face the moment he pushed the door open. Zhan Chi and the little white ape were even more happy when they saw him come in. The little white ape jumped up and hugged Zhan Wushirt directly. Zhan Chi is still young, open his two fleshy little hands, and he also wants to show his shirtless to hug. Mo Wuya was full of joy when he saw Zhan Wuxian come in, with a bright smile on his face, but his hair was a little messy, hanging down to his forehead, sticking to beads of sweat, and he was vaguely tired.

Zhan Wuxian went over, also picked up Zhan Chi, kissed it, and played with the two little guys.

"Alright, let's eat, I'll wait for you to come back." Mo Wuya said.

Zhan Wuxian agreed, put down the two little guys, and stared at Zhan Wuxian with three pairs of eyes. "Let's eat." I saw a small hand and a hairy claw eager to grab the meat on the table, they hadn't eaten it for a long time.

Zhan Wuxian looked at Mo Wuya affectionately and sandwiched a piece of meat for her. Mo Wuya didn't move, but said, "Why don't you ask where this meat comes from?" ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled: "I was about to ask." Now there is less and less food in the city, and there is no meat. ”

"These are all sent by Cai Gong, especially for you."

"He has already handed over Cai Cheng's military power to Senior Brother Fei, why bother sending these things again."

"It's good to hand it over to him, is the corpse beast pawn who came to attack the city today the one he repelled?"

"Yes. But I don't think this attack is normal, the corpse beast pawn didn't use all his strength, but it was like a show, I was worried that Gongzi was striking the enemy and what kind of conspiracy and tricks were going on, but at this time Cai Gong didn't let me do anything. ”

"Don't forget, you're a ranger, not a courtier. If Gong Cai strips you of your military power, you won't be able to save the people, and you won't be able to protect your family? ”

"Yes, Ya'er, you're so right, my legs are mine, my hands are mine, if the corpse beasts come, I can kill them too."

"There are so many corpse beasts, can you kill them?"

"I ......"

"Okay, don't worry about yourself first, you and I haven't drunk together for a long time, let's drink a little today."

"I remember I hadn't had alcohol at home for a long time, so I went out to find some."

"No, it's here." Mo Wuya took out a jar of wine from the cabinet.

"It was also sent by Xiong Qiji?"

"I asked him for it, don't ask why, just drink today."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I don't want anything else today, just drink."

Outside, the sky was still gloomy and oppressive, there was not a trace of wind, and the dark gray dome, with white snowflakes drifting, covered the whole sky, pressed on the roof, on the trees, on the wall, on the ground. Zhan Chi and the little white ape were full, and when the little white ape saw the thick snow outside, he suddenly remembered the big snow mountain, so he looked at Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya, and looked at the two with pleading eyes, he wanted to go out to play in the snow.

"Go ahead, only play in the yard." Mo Wuya said. The little white ape was allowed to jump from the house into the yard with one stride and play. Here Zhan Chi saw that the little white ape was having fun, so he staggered to the door and played with the little white ape.

Mo Wuya opened a jar of wine, first poured it full for Zhan Wuxi, then poured it for himself, then picked up the pottery bowl and drank it all. Because Xiong Qijian sent the tribute wine of the Chu royal family, which was different from the folk syrup, the wine was pure and strong, and Mo Wuya had not drunk wine for a long time, and this drink was very urgent, so Mo Wuya coughed repeatedly, and tears filled his eyes. Zhan Wuxian hurriedly got up to take care of Mo Wuya and help her beat her back. Who knew that Mo Wuya stopped Zhan Wuxian and pointed to the bowl of wine on the table: "I'm fine, you haven't drunk it yet." ”

"Okay, I'll drink." Zhan Wushirt picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Mo Wuya poured it full for the two of them again: "Drink again." ”

After the two drank three bowls in a row, Mo Wuya said: "Do you remember when was the last time we drank?" ”

"I remember, when I first came down the mountain, we asked for two dishes and a jar of rice wine in a roadside shop. Zhan Wuxian drank another bowl alone, feeling bitter in the wine.

"I remember when you only drank three bowls and got drunk. I saw a fat man beating his wife on the side of the road, you didn't say a word, you went up and beat the fat man, and you scolded the fat man for not beating his wife. The fat man was still unconvinced, and said that he was going to call someone to beat you, but you were so angry that he kicked the fat man into the dung pit, and in the end the fat man's wife complained that you shouldn't have beaten her husband. Mo Wuya laughed as he spoke: "Who told you to meddle in your affairs." ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes." But how can I get drunk after three bowls, you look down on me too much. If I had been really drunk at the time, that fat man would still be alive. ”

"You said you didn't get drunk after drinking three bowls, then we'll drink again." Mo Wuya poured two more bowls of wine. Zhan Wuxian stretched out his hand and took Mo Wuya's bowl and said, "Drinking too much wine hurts your body, since you want to drink it today, let me drink it for you." After speaking, he picked up two bowls of wine and drank them all in one go.

"It's nice to be kind to you." Mo Wuya said: "I don't know how to get it today, I want to drink with you." As he spoke, he poured himself full.

"I said, if you want to drink, I'll drink it for you." Zhan Wuxian snatched the wine bowl from Mo Wuya's hand again, and opened his mouth to drink.

"I've let you drink all my wine, what else do I drink?"

"Then you drink in a small bowl and I drink in a large bowl, okay?"

Mo Wuya smiled, nodded, poured a small bowl, and drank it in one gulp, showing boldness. Mo Wuya poured another bowl, holding it in his hand, and his eyes moved to Zhan Chi and the little white ape playing outside the house, only to see that they were having a lot of fun. The little white ape piles snow on his body and climbs on the ground to mix with the snow all over the ground. Zhan Chi thought that the little white ape had changed into a snowdrift, clapped his hands and screamed, and the little white ape suddenly jumped up from the snow, and the snowflakes splashed everywhere, Zhan Chi saw it even happier, and smiled from ear to ear.

"You see, how happy the children are...... If only this war ended tomorrow. ”

"The war will definitely end."

"If there is a way, you don't have to die a person, you can end this war tomorrow, and this solution can only be done by you, will you do it."

"If there is such a solution, I am obligated to do it."

"Chi'er is a good boy, will you take good care of him?"

"Absolutely."

"I don't believe it."

"Chi'er is also my child."

"Lie to you, I know you will." Mo Wuya smiled: "I'm learning to make things these days. ”

"What do you learn to do?"

"An eldest sister in the next door saw that my clothes were torn and had to make up for me, but I couldn't shirk it, so I asked her to take it back and make it up. The next day, the eldest sister brought the clothes, and when I saw it, it was the same as new, and I couldn't see that it had been mended at all. I saw that my eldest sister's craftsmanship was good, so I proposed to learn to mend clothes with her, but I have been learning it for several days, but I can't learn it. ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled: "My clothes have already broken several holes, you can use it to practice your hands." ”

"It's ugly that I made up, and the hole is getting bigger and bigger."

"Haha, won't my clothes be full of holes in the future, and when I put it on and walk out on the street, people will ask, when did you become a beggar?"

"You'd better find that eldest sister to make it up for you."

"I only have you in my heart, even if you make it up ugly, I like it."

…… The two of them said one sentence to the other, and before they knew it, it was dark, and there was nothing left of the three jars of wine, of course, most of them were drunk by Zhan Wuxian, he was tired and drunk.

The next day, there was one less person around Zhan Wuxian, and there was one more bamboo slip.

"I already know about Lingji. The whole city, men, women, and children, was preserved, and it was all up to me. I should focus on the overall situation and don't have to worry about the personal feelings of my children. My wife has gone to the end of the world, and I will take Chi'er and the little white ape with me. ”

After Zhan Wuxian finished reading it, he beat his chest like a boulder, the sky swirled, threw down the bamboo slips, and rushed out of the city. After chasing for less than thirty miles, Zhan Wuxian stopped, he looked at the vast wilderness, covered with a layer of snow, boundless, except for the city wall of Caicheng in the distance, which was black, the others were all barren, and there was not a single footprint.

"Where has Li'er gone, and where should I look for it?" When people are helpless, even if you have martial arts, what can you do? "Li'er has returned to Sword Lake Pool? No, since he didn't want me to find it, he definitely wouldn't go back. Ya'er, where the hell have you been? Zhan Wuxian searched aimlessly.

"Are you looking for me?" A delicate voice.

"Rei Ji?"

"Today is the last day, if you figure it out and follow me, the city will be safe and sound."

"Don't you think about it."

"Then let's just stand here and admire how the city disappeared."

After Lingji finished speaking, her eyes looked at Zhan Wuxian, and a mysterious smile appeared in her eyes.

Time passed bit by bit, and slowly, tens of thousands of corpse beasts appeared on all sides of Cai Cheng. With a roar, the horn sounded, and the corpse beast pawn launched an attack on Cai Cheng.

Zhan Wuxian stood there, watching this siege battle that was both familiar and unfamiliar, with mixed feelings. He was thinking about his wife, but the people in the city were in danger and had to be saved. Zhan Wuxian was in a state of confusion, and Lingji was simply indifferent to the big battle in front of her, and she didn't look at it, but kept staring at Zhan Wuxian. At this time, Zhan Wuxian also turned his head to look at Ling Ji angrily, the two looked at each other, but Ling Ji smiled: "If you look at me like this, you must hate me to death in your heart, and you want to kill me, right?" ”

"Kill you? You're underestimating me, too. ”

"That is to kidnap me and blackmail my son to withdraw from the army? Then let me tell you, although your martial arts are higher than mine, within a hundred moves, I will not defeat you. Even if you catch me, do you think Childe will retreat for me? ”

"You ......" apparently Lingji guessed correctly.

"Don't worry, with Fei Wuji's strength, it's still okay to hold for another three days, after three days, Gongzi will definitely break through Caicheng, and then it's too late for you to regret it." Hehe, I'm tired, if you figure it out, go to Yunmengze to find me, I'm waiting for you there. After Lingji finished speaking, the red light flashed and disappeared.

Zhan Wuxian didn't think much about it, and rushed into the enemy camp with his sword, venting his anger on the corpse beast pawn. Suddenly, there was a big chaos behind the corpse beast pawn array, Gongzi quickly commanded hundreds of corpse beast pawns to block Zhan Wuxian, and after a while, he was killed, and then hundreds of corpse beast pawns surrounded him, so back and forth, endlessly, the corpse beast pawns besieged more than a dozen times, until the sun set, the clothes on Zhan Wuxian's body were already tattered and blurred, and the body of the corpse beast pawn under his feet was piled up like a hill, and Zhan Wuxian stood on the top of the mountain alone and looked extremely lonely. Due to Zhan Wuxian's containment in the rear, there were fewer and fewer corpse beasts attacking Caicheng, and they were no longer unscrupulous, and the defenders of Caicheng learned that Zhan Wuxian was in the rear of the enemy, and their spirits were lifted, and they shouted Zhan Wuxian's name, killing the enemy more heroically, Cai Cheng's pressure was suddenly reduced, and even the Shenhuo soldiers launched a counter-charge.

Fei Wuji stood at the head of the city, looking at everything in front of him, his face expressionless. Mo Wuya's departure, he had already learned, and he originally wanted to look for it, but ruthlessness and reason overcame impulses and feelings, and Fei Wuji chose to stay to fight against the corpse beast pawns, and once again directly faced the son to defeat the enemy. The last time he was defeated by the enemy, he lost face in front of the heroes of the world. This time, he practiced the secret technique of the Chengying Sword - one sword and three bodies, and he felt that he could defeat the son and defeat the enemy, and he was ashamed of himself, which was an opportunity to prove that he was not worse than Zhan Wuxian, or even stronger than Zhan Wuxian, and he couldn't let it go.

"General, Mr. Zhan can't hold on anymore, we have to rescue him." Yang Shooting Day said to Fei Wuji next to him. He had all the arrows on his body, and he had used two bows, and his right index finger was red and swollen, thicker than his thumb.

"No one is allowed to leave his post without my orders, and anyone who violates it will be killed." Fei Wuji said coldly.

"You can't take care of our clan." After speaking, a refined copper flying beast rose from the ground, and Yang Shiri stood on it and said to the soldiers of the Yang clan: "It's the Yang clan who comes with me." After speaking, he flew to Zhan Wuxian, who was besieged by corpse beasts.

Dozens of clansmen from the Yang clan flew down the city wall with Yang Shooting Sun and went straight to the corpse beast soldiers who besieged Zhan Wuxi. Yang Shooting Day snatched a long ge, and was the first to rush into the group of corpse beast pawns, knocking dozens of corpse beast pawns away, and then came to Zhan Wuxian's side and shouted: "Mr. Zhan, come with me, now is not the time to fight for your life." ”

Zhan Wuxian continued to slash and kill the corpse beast pawns that rushed up as if he hadn't heard it.

While slashing and killing the corpse beast pawns, Yang Shooting Sun commanded the other clansmen of the Yang clan to block the corpse beast pawns and prevent them from attacking.

"You're going to die if you go on like this." Yang Shooting Day shouted.

Zhan Wuxian ignored it.

"You died like this, don't you want to see your wife and children?"

Zhan Wuxian's heart was shocked: Li'er and Chi'er are still alive, I can't die.

"And the people of Caicheng, if you die, who will deal with Gongzi and defeat the enemy, who will protect them."

"Yes, I can't die all at once, death is a cowardly act." Zhan Wuxian stood there stiffly.

Seeing that Zhan Wuxian stopped the sword in his hand, Yang Shooting Ri came over and hugged Zhan Wuxian with the golden bronze flying beast and quickly flew back to Cai Cheng.

After a day of hard fighting, the attack of the corpse beast pawns temporarily retreated, and Fei Wuji was already in the city ready for it. The soldiers have all experienced the last big battle, and everyone knows that this time the attack, Childe did not use all his strength to defeat the enemy, and a more violent attack is still to come, which may come at any time.

Zhan Wuxian returned to the city, what he saw surprised him very much, Xiong Qiji took his son Xiong Jian and the people of the city to kneel in front of Zhan Wuxian.

"Please sir, save the people of the city!" Xiong Qi burst into tears.

"Cai Gong, please get up." Zhan Wuxian seems to already know something.

Xiong Qiji did not get up, and continued: "Lingji came to Caicheng that night, as long as Mr. agrees, the people of Caicheng will be grateful to Mr., and I, Cai Gong, am willing to let Mr. do it." ”

After hearing this, Zhan Wuxian was no longer surprised, he understood, and the whole city already knew. If he promises Lingji, the people of Caicheng will regard him as a benefactor, their savior, and if he refuses, he will be a sinner or even an enemy of Caicheng. However, who can understand her wife Mo Wuya and care about her feelings? Is it necessary for a city to bear the pain of a city?

Zhan Wuxian did not agree or refuse, he walked away silently, no matter how noisy the voice behind him was, he could no longer hear, he locked himself in a hut, let the darkness fill up, let the loneliness accompany.

The next day, the corpse beasts attacked the city, and the news came that the soldiers defending the city had suffered heavy casualties.

On the third day, some of the corpses and beasts had already invaded the city, burning and looting in the city, and the streets were full of wailing.

On the fourth day, Fei Wuji was injured, and the city defense was tight.

On the fifth day, the whole city became quiet, and there was not a single sound.

Zhan Wuxian pushed the door open, and the scorching sun shone into his eyes, and everything became blurry and unfamiliar. Xiong Qiji stood alone at the door, covered in dust, and he had been standing here for the past few days. Zhan Wuxian glared angrily, didn't say a word, pulled out the seven-star Longyuan sword and stabbed it with an arrow. Hearing two muffled sounds, two corpse beast pawns fell behind Xiong Qiji, and then eight corpse beast pawns attacked, Zhan Wuxian didn't wait for them to get closer, and after a few swords, the eight corpse beast pawns also fell to the ground. Zhan Wuxian saw that the streets were lying all over the place, and the blood was still flowing, filling the ruts on the ground, turning into accusation faces.

"Cai Cheng can't hold it, so I decided to fight a decisive battle with Gongzi." Xiong Qiji said silently: "Even if it costs everyone's lives." ”

Zhan Wuxian stood there, not saying a word, the smell of blood in the air. If he wants to end this, it means that he will lose everything. After a long time, Zhan Wuxian walked towards the city gate, and Xiong Qiji behind him looked at his back and smiled.
