Chapter 36: Peony

Why did the names of Li Xin and King Lanling appear in the mouth of the dead soldier?

Could it be that Li Xin has rebelled?

No...... It's too early to tell.

But, why is King Lanling here?

Who is the unspoken man of the soldier's mouth?

The cold wind blew and pierced people's bones.

What makes people feel ominous is not only the mysterious death, but also the mysterious figure hovering behind the death.

Who's in charge of all this?

What is the terrible conspiracy in the endless desert?

Mulan's expression became more and more solemn, and she could faintly feel that this might be a new crisis.

Moreover, it seems that this crisis will be much bigger than the previous one......

The Great Wall is facing a storm......

The more she thought about it, the closer she got to a feeling of palpitations in the depths of Mulan's soul, and the ominous premonition was also closer to herself.

"Sister Mulan."

Approaching the steely back in the cold wind was another firm voice.

The throbbing in her heart was suddenly interrupted, Hua Mulan turned her body slightly, and what came into view was Lu Yu's figure.

"No matter what, I'm not going to let go of those guys who give you a headache."

The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and his hand rested on Mulan's shoulder, making a "snap" sound, breaking the original silent atmosphere.

"It's not a simple character that can give me a headache."

Looking back and smiling, Mulan stared at Lu Yu, and there was a little more watery tenderness in her eyes.

For the first time, Mulan found that Lu Yu was really tall, nearly half a head taller than herself, and she had to raise her head to meet his gaze.

However, with Lu Yu standing behind her, Mulan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Yes, I am not alone in the battle, and I have reliable companions, as well as ...... Lu Yu.

"You guard the Great Wall, and I will protect you."

The previous words were recalled to my mind again, and the same unwavering gaze came to mind, just as it is now.

Then, you should not fall behind.

Sister is a legend!

No matter what kind of crisis it is, Mulan will definitely use the sword in her hand to completely kill it.

This is her belief, no matter what kind of difficulties stand in front of her, she will not be afraid, and will definitely burn it with a decisive heart.

Seeing Mulan's eyebrows shrink from tightening to gradually stretching, Lu Yu also smiled.

"Ding! Mulan's opinion has been increased by 20 points! ”

"Huh? It's ......"

When everyone was about to leave this place and follow the traces left on the ground to the depths of the desert, Lu Yu found a special place.

In the arms of the dead soldier was something that shimmered bewitchingly in the silver moonlight.

"Peony flower ......?"

Picking up the petals, by the not-so-bright moonlight, Lu Yu recognized the variety of this flower, which was the peony.

Although it is only a petal, it still exudes a charming fragrance that makes people intoxicated, and even if it has fallen, it is still enchanting, as if it is in full bloom.

"Peony flower...... Death without any trace ......"

A vague figure gradually appeared in his mind, but Lu Yu couldn't immediately call out this person's name.

"Hehe......"

However, the figure that came to mind seemed to be alive, and it actually let out a mocking laugh, terrifying, and demonic.

"Who are you?!"

He yelled at the figure, but he didn't look back, just stood silently in place, and finally, the purple peony bloomed, completely obscuring his figure.

......

"Hehe, have you been discovered?"

In a flying yellow sand, an inretelligible figure whispered at this time, and the magic weapon on his chest bloomed with dazzling purple light.

"It seems that the variables in that hexagram are indeed a little not simple."

was able to get close to his identity with the peony he left behind, and the one named Lu Yu was a little interesting.

"Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes ...... Hum! Blessings depend. ”

Snorted coldly, and the corners of the white-clothed alchemist's mouth raised a wicked smile.

"Although you are an outlier, in my hexagram, since it can save you, it will also make you desperate, and it will be your important person in the end......"

"Pathetic fellow."

With a wave of the robe, the figure of the white-clothed Fang Shi dissipated into the flying sand, leaving only a blooming peony, poignant and enchanting.

......

"Lu Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lu Yu's suddenly weird look, Mulan hurriedly asked with concern.

"No, I'm a little sick with a car, ahh

Lu Yu pretended to be nothing, and smiled.

The poignant peony just now has disappeared with the wind and turned into ashes.

However, an extremely ominous feeling arose from the bottom of my heart.

It may be different from the previous killing intent and chill, this ominous seems to be related to the figure that appeared in his mind just now.

Lu Yu decided to bury it in his heart for the time being, this extraneous matter, he didn't want it to add pressure to Mulan again.

"If there's anything uncomfortable, be sure to tell me."

Mulan's expression was very serious, she could clearly see Lu Yu's reluctance, but she didn't pierce him.

Is it because you don't want to worry about yourself?

What a ...... Fool.

As the troops continued to advance, more and more corpses appeared on the desert, and this time it was different from before, the blood was sprinkled all over the desert, staining the yellow gravel red.

This scene, even under the moon, is still magnificent.

"This is, the army of the Metropolitan Protectorate!"

The corpses lying on the ground, without exception, were all soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and it was obvious that they had experienced traces of fighting.

But, it's very strange, since it's a fight, there should be enemies to fight against, but sweeping around, no demon seeds or bandit corpses were found.

Especially after examining the wounds on everyone's corpses, Mulan was shocked.

"How so?!"

At this time, even Mulan couldn't believe her eyes.

However, the facts were in front of her, and she had to accept them.

All of these soldiers died at the hands of their own people.

But why......

The smell of blood irritated the nose, and the deathly silence was buried in the wind and sand.

"These people ......"

For these tragic situations, Lu Yu was more or less repulsed as before, he calmed down and carefully observed the situation at the scene.

Maybe you'll be able to find another clue about that mysterious figure.
