When parting, sadness is always inevitable.

As early as five days ago, Ye Haotian explained other things to Zhuzhu.

Border people are born with a bold personality, they are used to killing and death on weekdays, and they don't feel too sad about parting, especially when they learned that Ye Haotian left to go to Anyang City to find someone to learn more advanced cultivation secret arts, everyone sent their most sincere blessings.

In order to avoid those famous families who set up banquets and proposed relatives from coming to the door to entangle after getting the news, Zhuzhu handled it extremely secretively. She first went to Cuiyun Building to accompany Sister Su and Second Sister Su for a long time, thanking them for saving their lives half a year ago, although she and Ye Haotian could have lived even if they didn't have those pills, but that friendship needs to be remembered.

To be a man, you must know how to be grateful.

The next day, Zhu Zhu came to the blacksmith shop with a large box, which contained half a box of gold and silver jewelry, as well as a few practice cheats carefully selected by Ye Haotian, and stayed in the blacksmith shop for two hours.

On the third day, Zhuzhu spent time in the vegetable market. She gave a few more green onions when she bought vegetables in the past six months, and gave half a bone when she bought meat, and when she returned to the small courtyard, the bulging pockets supported by the silver ticket had been completely deflated.

On the fourth day, Zhuzhu went to the City Lord's Mansion. This time she brought Su Ning'er with her.

Since getting the colorful green lotus, this big grinning, somewhat rough line of the unruly county lord has become happier than before, Zhu Zhu's ostensible reason for taking her to the city lord's mansion is to coordinate the contradictions between Xu Heihu and her, after all, putting a county lord in a prison cell for three days and three nights, and putting it in any vassal state is enough to be destroyed. When Su Ning'er was taken to the backyard pond to play with turtles by a few maids, Zhuzhu said her true meaning - she and Ye Haotian hoped that Xu Heihu could send someone to help Su Ning'er find her brother Su Yueyang, who was killing the demon army in the border desert.

In fact, before confirming the identity of Su Ning'er's county lord, Xu Heihu already knew that she came to the border to find some brother, but he didn't believe it at that time. Now that he heard that Zhu Zhu made a special trip to the City Lord's Mansion to mention this matter, although there were still many doubts about Su Ning'er's statement that he secretly ran away from home, he still accepted it.

Speaking from the heart, this county lord is quite good in other aspects, except for his temper and chest, and he wants to destroy the whole family at every turn, at least, he is a rare beauty. If he can take the opportunity to get in touch with King Liang, there will be many unforeseen opportunities and benefits for him and even the future of the entire Quicksand City.

On the fifth day, Zhuzhu didn't visit the door, she took Su Ning'er around Quicksand City, and when she got home, the carriage behind her was already full of large and small burdens. There were clothes, food, and some rouge gouache that she wanted to buy but couldn't afford on weekdays.

With Zhuzhu's help, Ye Haotian could finally devote himself to the practice of the Spirit Pattern Emperor Costume.

After breakfast on the sixth day, an inconspicuous four-wheeled carriage was sandwiched between the passing caravan hunting caravans and headed south of the city.

Ye Haotian was dressed in a blue cotton robe, with a gray hat on his head that is necessary for border residents to protect from the wind and sand, and with a slender package behind him, he sat in the driver's seat of the carriage and looked around while shaking the whip in his hand.

Xu Heihu and the soldiers in the city who knew each other did not come out to see him off. At last night's banquet, Su Ning'er, who was drunk and cried for half the night holding Zhuzhu's hand, was still sleeping with her head covered in Su's bedroom, and when she woke up, the reluctance and sadness would soon fade away.

Under Ye Haotian's stern reprimand, the more than forty ruffians who had followed him for more than a year in the south of the city did not show up, but in the streets and alleys, in the corners and eaves of the corners that were not noticed, a few familiar faces with reluctant faces would be revealed from time to time.

The carriage drove out of the city gate with the crowd and went all the way south, the speed of the carriage was not fast, until Ye Hao took off his hat and shouted to the carriage behind him after walking for more than ten miles.

"Come out, don't put up with it. ”

The carriage door opened, and Zhuzhu emerged from it like a sensitive kitten. She sat down next to Ye Haotian, looking at the sparse flow of people and the convoy around her, her pretty little face was full of novelty and excitement, and asked, "When can you get to Anyang?"

"If nothing else, it could take two months. Ye Haotian stretched out his hand and pulled the few strands of hair covering Zhuzhu's face to the back of his head, "Now the demon army is killing people everywhere on the border in order to find the statue of the demon god, the location of quicksand city is remote, and it is quite safe, and it is difficult to say further south." ”

Zhu Zhu stroked a strand of hair that had completely turned black and said nonchalantly: "The blood poison in my body has been expelled, if you encounter the demon army, they will be unlucky." ”

Looking at the brilliance in Zhuzhu's beautiful eyes, Ye Haotian shook his head helplessly, "If you don't have to, don't make a move, girls kill people...... Not good. ”

Zhu Zhu pouted, snorted disappre一门ly, tilted her head, and gently leaned on Ye Haotian's shoulder.

"The demon army killed my father and the villagers on the island, and I want to avenge them. ”

"Then I don't want to see you kill. ”

Glancing at a few drifting clouds floating in the sky in the distance, Ye Haotian's voice gradually cooled down, "Even if you want to kill, you have to wait until later, with our current strength, even if we can kill, how many can we kill?" Don't forget the poisonous oath I made at the beginning." ”

Zhuzhu's face suddenly became a little ugly, she gently held Ye Haotian's hand, and the picture in the rainy night a year ago appeared in front of her eyes.

In the picture, Ye Haotian was covered in blood, knelt on his knees, and roared from the depths of his soul to the void in the direction of Qixing Island: I, Ye Haotian, hereby swear in the name of the gods of the Heavenly Domain that in my lifetime, I will take millions of iron horsemen, step on the Demon Territory, wash the Demon Domain with blood, sacrifice the innocent lives who died tragically today with the blood of the souls of tens of millions of demons, and mention the head of the Seven Demon Lords to avenge my master and sister......

The speed of the carriage was slowly accelerating, and the two people in the carriage did not speak again, only the moaning sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the air, seeing more and more caravans being left behind, feeling the cool breeze blowing in his face, Ye Haotian reached out and hugged Zhuzhu into his arms, and gently hummed a nursery rhyme that circulated on the island.

"The small locust tree, bearing cherries, and the willow tree bearing peppers, blowing drums, playing trumpets, carrying a cart and carrying a sedan ......"

Zhuzhu leaned on Ye Haotian's arms, her thoughts seemed to be brought back to a few years ago by the familiar songs, and she hummed unconsciously, and a sweet smile gradually appeared on her quiet little face.

Accidents always seem to happen when you least expect them.

Just when Ye Haotian beads were immersed in the memories of the past, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and through the dust and ash that flew up, he could see that three red horses were galloping towards him, Ye Haotian raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and focused on the talent running on his own, when he saw the rider on horseback, his face suddenly changed, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Ye Haotian's change, Zhuzhu also looked ahead.

"It seems to be Lao Xu's subordinates. Ye Haotian's eyes narrowed into a line, and the scene in the distance quickly became clear in his perception, "Yes, it's the war horse of the defenders, huh? Why is there only one cavalry on three horses...... Like, I was injured. ”

Just when Ye Haotian was puzzled, three war horses rolled up a strong wind and swept past him thirty meters away, and the cavalryman lying on the horseback suddenly rolled to the ground for some reason, and the well-trained war horse let out a neigh, and stopped after running out dozens of meters.

The sudden scene attracted the eyes of the only remaining group of travelers on the road, and they only glanced at it a few times, but no one stopped to check. One of the secrets to surviving on the war-torn frontier is to be less nosy.

Ye Haotian's hand that grabbed the horse's reins tightened back, and the carriage slowly stopped. He handed the whip into Zhuzhu's hand, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the soldier who was lying motionless on the ground, and when he was still more than ten meters away, he saw the red light armor on the city defense soldier and a sharp arrow stuck in his thigh.

"Wang Wu?"

When he saw the man's appearance clearly, Ye Haotian called out his name in disbelief.
