Ji Yeol stood on the slope.

Eleven years ago, Huo Xun, who was carrying a double axe, wrapped a rope around these trees, stopped the warship floating in the river, and he went ashore from here.

From here, you can see Ankoku on the south coast.

The sunset is beautiful, the god Haotian cast his most gentle gaze on the south bank, over the rolling hills, Ji Lie seems to see the endless peach forest, the peach forest outside Shaotai City is more than Luoyi, whenever this season, the gorgeous peach blossoms bloom with the sunset, if you stand on Wangyuan Mountain, it is in the ocean of flowers.

There is a hint of sweetness in the wind, as if it is the aroma of peach blossoms, but it is slightly different, it is fresher than peach fragrance, like peach blossoms in winter, mixed with a hint of coldness.

Peach blossoms in winter?

There are no peach blossoms in winter, Ji Lie didn't look back, the aroma became stronger and stronger, hidden in the wind, and lingered on the tip of his nose.

Listen intently, and the slight sound of footsteps falls behind you.

It was a beautiful woman, dressed in a purple dress and carrying a large cloth bag on her back, and she walked towards Ji Yeol, the ground covered with fallen leaves, which had rotted over the years, but which could drown out the sound of footsteps. However, although the small feet fell very lightly, they did not deliberately hide the sound it should have, as if they were stepping on a certain rhythm and slowly approaching Ji Lie.

She had a pair of very good eyes, clear and bright, and at this moment, it was staring at the back of Ji Lie's neck, where there was no armor to protect it, if she was fast enough, she could pierce it with a sword, and then fly away.

However, at this moment, Ji Lie turned his head abruptly and stared straight at her.

"The camp is set up, Mr. Guan is looking for you."

She lowered her head, and a hint of red flew on her face, looking very shy and quite moving. After a while, there was no movement, and she quietly raised her eyes, only to find that the little wicked man had turned his head and faced the river.

The opportunity is rare, I should have killed him.

She tilted her head and glanced at the black and white flower on her wrist, and quickly made a decision, approaching Ji Lie step by step, and quietly pressed her right hand to the cloth bag on her back.

"Tonghua, Tongzi Fanghua, a nice name, who gave it that?"

No, just as she touched the hilt of the sword in the piano, the little villain spoke, and interrupted her concentration very smoothly.

Who started it?

She frowned and thought for a moment, and replied, "It was my mother's kiss." "I thought to myself, I've never seen my mother, I don't have a mother, my name is from my teacher, but I won't tell you about this little villain.

"The name is through the merchant, is this your nickname?" He turned his head and looked at her again, his gaze cold.

Oh no, is this little villain noticing?

Tonghua's heart jumped, but in the end, she was the chief disciple of Baicheng, although she was flustered in her heart, she didn't have a look on her face, but there was a trace of sadness: "Tonghua doesn't have a nickname, Tonghua is Tonghua, when Tonghua was three years old, the lord ordered someone to teach Tonghua the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the word 'Tonghua' was engraved on the qin, and this qin was left by his mother." As she spoke, she untied the big cloth bag behind her back, took out the black xylophone, and looked at Ji Lie with teary eyes.

"It turns out that you're a singer." Ji Lie's expression was clear, he couldn't bear to look at the tears in her eyes, and turned his head away.

"Hmm."

Tong Hua let out a low 'um'.

"Why don't you go back?"

"Unless he dies, Tonghua doesn't want to go back, because Tonghua doesn't want to be the same as his mother."

"Follow me, you're just a maid."

"A waiter is better than a singer! You are the Flying Tiger, the Great Hero. ”

Tonghua's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her long eyes turned upward, as happy as a little girl, full of hope for the future, she plucked the strings and let out a cheerful 'ding dong'. ’

Ji Lie saw her excitement in the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but think, it's not easy to live, some people are for great power, and the desire to conquer the world, however, there are also people who are humble like ants, just want to spend today, tomorrow, and the rest of their lives in peace.

For example, this woman of unknown origin.

Seven days ago, Chen Su, the lord of Jingcheng, gave this woman to him as a waiter, but of course Ji Lie would not accept it, however, this woman said that since she had come, she would not go back, and Ji Lie would either give her a death or leave her.

To this day, Ji Lie still remembers that scene, she looked at him weakly as she did just now, but she was dragging a hairpin in her hand, and the sharp blade was against Xue Nen's throat, and her expression was resolute. Ji Lie believed that if she didn't agree, she would tie the hairpin into it.

This is a ruthless woman.

'What is the little wicked man thinking?' Shall I kill him? The great strange bird did not know where to fly, and it was a godsend, and if I killed him, I would jump into the river and swim to the other side. The people in the White City are not afraid of water, and I already jumped over the river when I was seven years old. ’

Tonghua thought faintly.

"Wow!"

At this moment, the big firebird flew from the other side of the river, grabbed a large poisonous snake with a length under its claws, flew into the sky, its huge wings covered the sunset, it saw Tonghua, and plunged down.

"Yikes!!"

Tonghua screamed, the piano in her hand fell to the ground, she grabbed Ji Lie in a panic, closed her eyes tightly, and snuggled into Ji Lie's arms.

"Punish evil." Ji Lie snorted.

There was a fluttering sound, and the wind ruffled her hair, and there was a disgusting smell in the wind, and she wrinkled her nose, opened her eyes, and looked through the gap, and saw that the big firebird was looking straight at her, and the gaze was very strange, as if it was provocative and mocking.

At this time, the instep of her foot tightened suddenly, Tonghua was shocked, and looked down, oh my God, the tail of the long flower snake was twisting around on her feet.

"Ah!!h

With a miserable scream, Tonghua fell softly into Ji Lie's arms.

"Goo-goo."

The strange cry of the great firebird rang out.

Tonghua held Ji Lie's hand tightly when he fell, Ji Lie looked down, and the beautiful woman closed her eyes tightly, her face was as pale as snow, and she had obviously fainted.

"Tonghua, Tonghua."

Ji Lie shook it twice, but did not shake Tonghua awake, but shook her coiled hair away, her long black waterfall-like hair was soft, her eyes were closed, and her face was so small, it was extremely cute. And her hands were so tightly gripped, like a drowning man grasping at the last of the floating grass.

In desperation, Ji Lie had no choice but to half-hug and half-carry her and walk towards the camp.

The camp was set up on the old site, and the bonfire had been raised.

When he first arrived here, Ji Lie had searched carefully, but he didn't find the location where he fought with the woman, and eleven years later, the indelible past was engraved into his heart, but it was blown away by the wind in the years.

The old wizard walked towards him trembling and dangerous with his cane.

"Houzi, when will we leave for Hedong?"

"Tomorrow."

"Hou Zi, the king ...... him"

"He died, leaving me a piece of land."

Tonghua in his arms was as stiff as a piece of wood, Ji Lie carried her to the carriage, the old witch official followed, and a raven stopped on his shoulder, the guy was black all over his body, like a fist-sized black carbon, it was it that brought the death of An Jun Ji Di, and An Jun's last death.

An Jun gave Ji Lie thirty miles of land.

However, that land is not in the territory of Anguo, but on the north bank of the Liuyuan River, at the junction of Chen and Zhaoguo, at the foot of Qishan, it is a barren land, facing the sea in the east and the mountains in the back, and the people are extremely scarce, and there are not even many robbers and mountain bandits.

Ji Lie put Tonghua in the carriage, pulled the black xylophone from the beak of the big firebird, put it beside her, and pulled down the window.

"Hou Zi......" The old witch official opened his cloudy eyes and frowned, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"He is dead, from now on, you should call me the head of the family, not the prince." Ji Lie's voice was very cold, and when he heard the news of An Jun's death, he didn't feel the slightest sadness, but breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had fallen from his chest. And this, perhaps, is also a kind of sadness.

"Yes, Master."

The old witch officer bowed his back respectfully and followed Ji Lie's steps: "The head of the family, the current Anguo is very different from when the old slave left, the first monarch died, but the successor was not specified, and the three brothers of the head of the family are accusing each other and fighting each other on the south bank in order to compete for the position of prince. They all have a large number of supporters behind them, and the power of those scholars and doctors should not be underestimated. It would be unwise for the head of the house to cross the river to the south bank at this time. Therefore, according to the old slave's speculation, the first monarch, the first monarch is protecting the head of the family. ”

"Protection?"

Ji Lie laughed coldly and strode into the big tent next to the fire.

The sun had set, and the forest was exceptionally quiet, except for the sound of the snort of the war horses and the sound of the flames on the fire, there was only the sound of the wind. The wind in the forest was damp, and when Ji Lie lifted the curtain, it immersed in it with Ji Lie.

There was a lamp burning in the tent.

They sat in the light, civil and military. The warriors are on the left, and the literati are on the right. In the left column are the warriors of Xingluo, Luoying, and Luofeng, who are wearing iron armor and pressing the sword on their waists, and the armor and sword glow coldly in the light. In the right column are, Yin Yong, Shen Zhong, and Kuai Wujian, who are wearing three-inch crowns and various robes, with solemn expressions.

Ji Lie walked to the back of the low desk in the center and sat down slowly, and the old wizard naturally stood behind him, lowered his head, and lowered his eyes.

"In front of me is the Liuyuan River, and across the river is Anguo, and now I am no longer a prince, nor a flying tiger, but a second-class baron of Anguo, and the territory I own is not on the land of Anguo, where it is barren and inhabited, and bandits are rampant. That land was shelved by Anguo for fifteen years, and no one cared about it. ”

The tent was full of people, but the pins could be heard. Ji Lie's voice was neither high nor low, he paused, and looked at the left and right columns one by one: "No matter where you come from or what purpose you have, perhaps, you are all disappointed. Today, I want to tell you that I chose to go, even though it was dark before my eyes. And now, you have to tell me your choice. ”

"The head of the house."

As soon as Ji Lie's words landed, his two retainers, Luo Ying and Luo Feng, 'fluttered', knelt on one knee, held their swords, and said in unison: "No matter where the head of the family goes, whether it is hell or the abyss, I Luo Ying and I Luo Feng are willing to follow in the footsteps of the master of the family and never stop." ”

"Get up." Ji Lie smiled, no matter what choice others would make, his retainers would always be loyal.

"I am your teacher, and wherever you go, I will always be by your side, teaching you, watching you, and I will not leave unless you think I am old." Yin Yong stood up, and the elegant old man looked at Ji Lie with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Thank you, teacher."

Ji Lie took a deep look, and the iron armor on his body rattled.

"You've saved my life twice, and I'm old anyway, so I'll sell this life to you." The white-haired old master squinted his eyes in the light, and his wise eyes flashed with a light that no one could understand.

"Well, I said that when I saw you clearly, I would write you down in the book, and then I would leave. And now it seems that that day is still far away. ”

The white-clothed gentleman raised the exquisite small wine jug, took a leisurely sip, and breathed a sigh of 'ha', his eyes were as bright as stars.

"Good."
