Chapter 240: Late Return

Su Xicai left the drawbridge and was hugged by the guards to catch his breath, and then there was a roar of the drawbridge, and then a soldier came in a panic panting, pointing directly to the destroyed drawbridge: "Sect Master, Lord Xiao, he, he ......"

"How is he?!" The old man, who had covered most of his face, was furious, and asked in a loud voice as he grabbed the front of the man's shirt.

"I didn't ...... I didn't come back......" The soldier swallowed, trembling with fear.

"I'm asking how the woman is?!" Su Xi was even louder, his breath buzzing through the mask.

"It seems that I escaped, and my subordinates didn't see ...... clearly," the soldier shook his head blankly.

Only then did Su Xi let go of him, his fingertips were still trembling, thinking about the people who could still be used in his hands, he stood up straight after a slight pause, and said loudly: "Withdraw from here, take the people who withdrew from Xuanzhou, and gather them all on the other side of Kumho!" ”

A young man who looked like a major general hurriedly came behind him, and his delicate face was also hidden under half of the mask, hearing him like this, he immediately put aside the guards and stepped forward to argue: "Sect Master, this place is in an excellent location, why do you want to withdraw?" After he said that, he saw that the respected sect leader in front of him was missing half of his beard.

"The drawbridge is the only way to the lodge, and if they don't come out, it will be our defeat." Su Xi didn't raise his eyes, only threw out the reason.

The person who came was stunned, still puzzled, so he had to respectfully hug his fists: "My subordinates think that it is enough to rebuild the bridge." ”

"The bridge will be man-made, evacuate quickly." Su Xi seemed to know it in his heart, looked at the mist that was gradually dissipating, and sighed in a muffled voice, "Jiang Xi." Your mind is less than seventy percent of your father's. ”

"Thank you, Bishop." The major general was still ignorant, but he had to second the proposal and clench his fist.

Su Xi no longer paid attention to him, and rubbed his palms as if he was extremely annoyed. The beads on his body kept beating with the cold wind.

Ruoyun lifted Xia Zhuyue into the air, and then fished it up to avoid another forest fire before landing, relying on Xia Zhuyue's speed-like speed, listening to the whistling wind in her ears, she suddenly had the illusion that she was still leaving the west.

At that time, she was already feeling extremely miserable, but she did not know that the collapse was just beginning to appear. After four years, not only did she not break free from the shackles of fate, but she was locked more and more tightly. Now she didn't want to struggle anymore. But I want to keep following my fate, and it's better to go a little more than to give up.

However, as the fog dissipated, she saw the appearance of Longhua Villa in the air from time to time in Xia Zhuyue. The climate in the mountains is variable. The trees are colorful, some of the pavilions seem to have been renovated, some have even been relocated, smoke seems to have been destroyed in many places, and there is a large maple forest with abrupt vacant fields.

She was secretly frightened, but Xia Zhuyue fell to the ground abruptly, as if she was in a bad mood and fell to the ground with a loose hand, her long fluttering hair flying in the air like a tangled mood.

Ruoyun frowned in pain. The wide trail in front of me was not long ago playing a scene of Yu Baize and Cheng Qingsu's fight, but now it is in ruins. The paved tiles were more damaged than they had before, and almost half of the floor was a grayish earth.

"Thank you." Ruoyun still thanked politely, the cuffs and hems of her white shirt were stained, but she got up and patted the dust, her every move was generous and calm, like a pearl.

Xia Zhuyue sighed lightly, straightened her waist at the person inside, and said, "The person brought it back to you, don't say I'm lazy." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the object in his hand drew an arc, which fell into the hands of the comer in a flash of golden light against the setting sun.

Bai Ze did not wear gold jewelry, he was spotlessly dressed, his lightly tied hair hung down at random on the back of his head, his feather fur was wrapped, and his pale face lined with white clothes made his whole person look illusory, and he glanced at the object in his hand, and his dark eyes immediately widened: "Quenching order? ”

"You know the goods." Xia Zhuyue hugged her arms and replied irritably.

"You stole it?" Bai Ze grinned, and his crescent-like eyes lost their dazzling brilliance.

"Qingluan is dead, she probably stole it, and Chiyan hasn't been able to come back." Xia Zhuyue didn't want to talk about it at all, and stretched out her hand to point to Ruoyun on the side, "But in the end, it's a good thing to get back the quenching order, and meet her." After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves even more impatiently, beckoned and led people in.

"Hmm." Bai Ze only hummed briefly and smiled at Ruoyun.

Ruoyun looked at Bai Ze like this, and before she could recover from the shock, she just stood and looked at him blankly, and the dozen or so steps seemed to be separated by a world, and all the words that made her want to question him why he was like this and why he didn't take care were all stuck in her throat, and finally she couldn't say a word.

"Girl, don't be in a daze, go in." Bai Ze finally raised his hand at her and beckoned her over.

Ruoyun walked forward slowly, her eyes turned up, and she didn't dare to confirm it, and kept looking at him.

"The people under the city were all picked up by Jinzhou Thorn History, and not many people died." Bai Ze walked side by side with her, not looking at her puzzled gaze, his voice fluttering lightly without a center of gravity, "Oh, by the way, Feng Heng said that he didn't find the tomb surnamed Yan." ”

"The wind is crossing......" Ruoyun's heavy mood undoubtedly aggravated a point.

"I'm a little injured, it's fine, and I'm temporarily incapacitated." Bai Ze replied briefly and smiled in return.

"Hurt? Over here? Ruoyun stopped, becoming more and more worried.

Bai Ze groaned, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "The villa has been renovated, the organs at the door have been removed, and from time to time, people from the high priest's line come to set up a small array and make some trouble." ”

Ruoyun was shocked when she heard him say in a light tone, and without thinking, she reached out and pulled his sleeve to pull him over, and said even louder: "You mean transformation?" Is it any wonder that the fog dissipates? Why? What happened? Is the disease serious? Where's Qingxuan?! Where are the Qingxuan people?! ”

Bai Ze couldn't laugh anymore, he pulled his sleeves and frowned a little painfully, and his face became even paler, which made Ruoyun nervous and nervous again, and looked at each other in horror.

Bai Ze coughed a few times, and finally picked a question and answered: "Dingzhou is a big trap at all, the surname Li is already a member of the Qingping Sect, who would have thought that those puppets would hide the fragments of thunderbolts?" Well? If it weren't for Qingsu's insistence on following, and volunteering to explore the way for my heart, I wouldn't know who would be more seriously injured. He said, smiling miserably, "But I took advantage of the cold weather to destroy the puppet thoroughly, and then rushed back." Huai Xuanmo, that quack, he told me that Qingsu may never wake up, isn't it that his head has a lot of blood, and it will be more serious than me, the second knife? As he spoke, he knocked on the door of his head and lowered his hand weakly.

"Bai Ze......" Ruoyun was speechless, looking at his gloomy expression that was not showing pain, but he could feel the pain in his heart surging like a mountain and a sea.

She is very happy but also extremely regretful at the moment, that person is always very unsmiling and rigid, she even secretly compared him to Hu Bowen, but Cheng Qingsu is the right person to handle the severity, she is glad that she spoke out to warn Qingsu to avoid greater casualties, but regrets that her concern for Bai Ze has become the fuse for the murder of Cheng Qingsu!

"I'm careless, too." Bai Ze sighed, rolled up his sleeves, and his face eased slightly, "If not, it will be Xia Zhuyue's turn to guard the villa?" ”

"Baize, aren't Qingxuan people in the villa? Why are you in such a hurry to get back? Ruoyun knew that Bai Ze was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, but she couldn't help but ask questions.

"No matter how late it is, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Fusu in time." Bai Ze coughed a few more times, I don't know if it's true or not, and his steps are a little faster.

"Baize?!" Ruoyun finally understood, and quickly walked up to stop him and said, "What about Qingxuan?" You tell me the truth! ”

Bai Ze raised his eyebrows, looked at her with some headaches, and raised his chin behind her: "Ask her." ”

Ruoyun turned around, but saw a small and delicate woman standing on the long steps, dressed in a dark red cloak as seen in the palace at night, with cold eyes and orange clothes, with several attendants behind her, staring at her condescendingly.

Ruoyun glanced at her chin, which was higher than Bai Ze's, and knew that she was wrong, so she said hesitantly: "County Lord, it's not that I deliberately returned late, but ...... The road is in danger, I'll ......," she said, and gradually laughed in her voice, and then simply sighed, closed her eyes, and said, "Let the guards be damaged, the blame lies with me, and I will ask the county lord to punish me." ”

"Reprimand?" Cheng Qingwen looked at her thin clothes but standing proudly, couldn't help but sneer, slowly walked down the steps, and said, "Because of you, this bridge that should have been removed long ago should be set aside for so much more time, and the complex mechanism is not easy to open again because of the complexity of unlocking!" If it weren't for you, why would you need to be in a stalemate with those so-called sacrifices that don't go into the stream?! I knew that I would have killed you on the same day, so that your useless 'four nos' would not cause trouble! ”

"What the county lord said is very true, if you had killed me in the first place, it would have been fine. Even I didn't think about how to deal with the situation I am in. Ruoyun said lightly, without returning the slightest, all because she thought of the open confrontation with her father, and immediately became cold.

Cheng Qingwen didn't expect her to answer like this, looking at her so lonely and melancholy appearance, she spoke a little softer: "You and I will not come until the last day, when someone reported your whereabouts, but only took two injured guards back." I don't want to be here today. ”

"Has the county lord been here since he came from Fusu?" Ruoyun only felt that her heart was a little heavy with her words, and her worries were like a prairie fire that swallowed her in an instant, and she was extremely anxious for a moment, and said eagerly, "Where is Qingxuan?" ”

"If you want to know, follow me." Cheng Qingwen stepped forward and grabbed her cold hand involuntarily.

Ruoyun hurriedly nodded to Bai Ze, followed her closely, walked around the front hall and walked a lot in the mountains, until she reached a pool under the shade of trees, Cheng Qingwen stopped and stretched out her hand to point forward.

Ruoyun immediately stepped forward to take a look, but there was Cheng Qingwen's soft hand behind her back, and with a gentle push of that hand, she was caught off guard and threw herself directly into the water. (To be continued......)
