After crossing the Nu River across the mainland, after passing through the steep and majestic Lingxi Mountains, the first town on the way is Shanfu Town. Here, the water of the Nu River is still very fast.

As far as the eye can see, the townspeople can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the 3,000-foot cascade all year round.

The small town of Shan Fu is built on the edge of the mountain and water, with old, smooth stone roads and neat rows of houses that stretch from the fishing village below the mountain to the gentle mountainside.

Most of the houses are made of rocks unique to the northern part of the Great Zhao Empire, with white walls and stones inlaid with some orange or yellow stones.

The wooden loft has a uniform white-edged blue roof, and the green hillside is lined with trees, creating a picturesque scenery that is beautiful.

In addition to the barren and populated Lingxi Mountains, as the actual northwest corner of the Great Zhao Empire, the connection between the upper and lower reaches of the Nu River, it should have been very prosperous.

Unfortunately, because the water was indeed too turbulent, the Great Zhao Empire did not choose to build a dock here, but chose the next village and town.

Today, it has developed into a city, but the town of Shan Fu seems to have been forgotten.

And this is the fiefdom of Zhao Yueru's family, the highest part of the mountainside, the slightly old stone castle, is her home.

A few decades ago, the majestic Emperor Wuling of Zhao wantonly opened up the territory and rewarded the fief with military merits, so that Zhao Yueru's grandfather could get this town.

The two generations of monarchs after Emperor Wuling of Zhao were more than conservative and enterprising, which also caused the empire to hardly divide any land in recent decades.

Although Shanfu Town has been operated and built by two generations of barons, it is too remote and has no special products, and in addition, the two generations of barons are benevolent and generous to the people, without any additional exploitation, so the Baron's Mansion is only barely maintained.

However, there is no doubt that Zhao Yueru's family is supported by everyone here.

As soon as Bai Feiping stepped into this town with her on his back, many townspeople immediately poured up, men, women and children, asking this and that, and there was concern that could not be concealed under the simple smile.

Of course, a large number of children are more interested in Bai Feiping's big iron can.

After all, the full-body armored samurai seemed to be so stylish, and the children screamed and jumped all the way, as if they were celebrating a festival. There are particularly bold children, and they will come up and touch it curiously.

At the gate of the castle, Bai Feiping finally met Zhao Yueru's mother, Baroness Lin Zixian.

It seems that Lin Zixian is a mature version of Zhao Yueru (of course, there is no birthmark).

Bee waist, hips, long legs, and a beautiful face. The wind and frost of the years did not seem to leave any traces on her body.

Although she is now frowning, her hair is slightly scattered, and she looks a little haggard.

But this not only did not damage her beauty, but also added a bit of Xizi's heart-like temptation.

The Baroness had very few ornaments on her body, but the mere crest of a sorcerer on her chest added a few points to her charm.

Zhao Yueru also got off Bai Feiping's back early at this time, and a milk swallow threw herself into the arms of the baroness.

The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, unable to tell what emotions they were, missing, worried, and grieving ......!

All kinds of emotions were mixed together, mixed tastes, and tears filled the eyes of the two.

"Who is this gentleman!?"

A polite but slightly distant voice pulled Bai Feiping's gaze back from the mother and daughter, and looked sideways slightly, only then did he notice that there was another man who followed the baroness.

The man was nearly half white, of medium stature, his hair was gray but still neatly combed, and he was wearing a tuxedo, although it was a little old, but it still looked well-fitting and generous on him.

The only discord was that his left arm was empty, and it was completely gone below the shoulder.

At this time, the man was staring at Bai Feiping with a pair of sharp eyes, although his voice was gentle and polite, but the guarded eyes could not be concealed.

Bai Feiping was a little hesitant about this question for a while, and somehow, he was reluctant to say the essence of being a summoned beast slime.

Fortunately, Zhao Yueru's crisp and pleasant voice sounded at the right time: "Uncle Peng Yuan, this is my classmate Bai Feiping in the academy." ”

"Alas, Yueru, it's not that my uncle said you, when such a big thing happened at home, how could you still have the leisure to take your classmates home. ”

Uncle Peng Yuan frowned, and complained slightly: "You... How do you let us entertain the guests?"

"Feiping, he's my follower!" Zhao Yueru interrupted stiffly.

The girl's heart is delicate, since her father died, she gradually felt that Uncle Peng Yuan's attitude had changed inexplicably, especially when she was carrying her mother behind her back.

That kind of feeling, the fault is not the party, it is difficult to understand and describe.

Even several times when Zhao Yueru confided in her mother, her mother blamed her for thinking too much.

Mom has always been grateful to Uncle Peng Yuan, it was he who gave up his arm to save his father's life, and he was accepted as a righteous son by his grandfather.

Since then, Uncle Peng Yuan has been living with their family.

During this period, two generations of barons wanted to tell him about marriage, but every time, Peng Yuan shirked it with one excuse or another.

"Oh, yes!" Uncle Peng Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

His tone was gentle and polite again: "Xiao Yueru's followers, then they are all family. Haha, Bai Feiping, take off the mask, and let your uncle know it!"

"No!" Zhao Yueru's voice suddenly rose an octave.

How can I say that he is also a high-talent student of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, even if he has no knowledge, he has insight, where does he not know that the existence of Bai Feiping is very contrary to common sense, Zhao Yueru extremely disapproves of Peng Yuan in her heart, and subconsciously rushed out of her mouth, and her voice fell and she was also stunned.

At this time, the baroness turned their puzzled gazes.

"Flatten him, he ......" the girl snorted several times before continuing: "He is practicing a special martial art, and he must practice it before he can take off this armor." ”

"Really?" Uncle Peng Yuan's skeptical gaze almost turned into substance, and Bai Feiping saw through it: "Then I really want to see it when I have a chance." ”

The baroness on the side was entangled in her heart, her daughter has been very cold to Peng Yuan recently, and the baroness knows it, but the little girl thinks that it will be good to come for a while.

Seeing that there was a bit of gunpowder in the field, he quickly stood up and said: "Okay, okay, everyone will be a family in the future, and I will talk about it slowly." ”

"Now, let's hurry up and see Xiao Kuo together!"

......

The boy, Zhao Kuo, was lying quietly on the bed.

The torture of illness made him thin in a short period of time.

But even in a coma, the occasional convulsions of his hands and feet all showed that the boy was suffering greatly all the time.

The boy had already entered the dying moment, but in the dark, he seemed to hear his sister Zhao Yueru's hoarse call, and his right hand was actually raised slightly.

Zhao Yueru hurriedly hugged her younger brother's hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth in his hand, a slight smile rippled on the boy's face.

But before the smile could fully bloom, as if the taut string had suddenly loosened, the boy's head tilted and his hand slipped weakly.

"Xiao Kuo......" The heart-rending cry continued for a long time.

......

Three days!

It was three days of oppressive despair, and the boy Zhao Kuo had been buried in the open space behind the castle, accompanied by his father.

During this period, there were no gongs and drums, and there was no hustle and bustle, only the two bulging earth bags represented everything about them.

The tears of Zhao Yueru's mother and daughter had already dried up, leaving only a death-like silence.

Bai Feiping, who had been by his side, didn't know where to start, so he had to help desperately throughout the whole process.

Fortunately, he did not lack strength, and with the assistance of Zhao Yueru's family, he did not alarm anyone in Shanfu Town.

Of course, this is also what Baroness Lin Zixian meant, she doesn't want anyone to know about Zhao Kuo's departure for the time being.

"Zixian, it's time for you to eat. After a few busy days, Peng Yuan's voice was also very hoarse: "Your health is not good, besides, you can't starve Yueru like them!"

"Oh, yes, yes......" The baroness finally woke up from her half-trance: "Yueru, eat, eat." ”

......
