Looking back now, I have indeed grown more than a little bit from the attributes that I couldn't even match with small soldiers at the beginning, to now being able to duel with some heroes.

But the most important thing he got was more than that.

Just like every hero in the world of kings, they have their own beliefs.

For Lu Yu, the place where important people are is his homeland.

The homeland will not fall, and the important people will never leave them.

It was you who gave me hope and faith, and made me realize how strong my desire to protect someone is.

Mulan, I will definitely be the armor that protects you, I will.

"Lu Yu, what are you thinking?"

Looking at Lu Yu's dazed sluggishness, Mulan couldn't help but arch his shoulders slightly.

Lu Yu looked back, and it happened to collide with the slightly raised gaze.

The four eyes are facing each other, and the clear pupils are shining on each other's figures.

"Hmm...... I'm wondering, now that the King of Lanling has appeared, is Li Xin also approaching? ”

Turning his head slightly sideways, Lu Yu pretended to say in a deep voice.

On the surface, he looks serious, but in his heart he is fluttering and jumping.

"Now, the only way to know the truth is to move on."

Although having said that, at this moment, both Lu Yu and Hua Mulan could detect a trace of a strange aura.

It's a perception that comes from intuition as the pace goes deeper.

The appearance of King Lanling, although surprising, can still be solved.

Lu Yu knew very well that behind King Lanling, there was definitely someone else.

That person may be the shadow that has been lingering in his mind.

I don't know, now Li Xin, is he with that mysterious person?

Is all this a sudden accident, or is it a conspiracy that has long been hidden in the dark?

......

"Hmph, I thought he could be more useful, and he could solve Lu Yu before he got here."

The wind and sand made it difficult to see the figure standing on the sand dunes, but the words full of temptation and danger lingered like a nightmare.

A bewitching face, charming Danfeng eyes, and that elegant posture.

"It's funny that you can't even kill a person, in the name of death."

"It's really the worst hexagram I've ever calculated."

The playful smile on the corner of his mouth never calmed down, and the magic weapon in the hand of the white-clothed Fang Shi bloomed with a strange purple glow, reflecting his ambitious face at this moment, as if the world was just a chess piece in his hand.

"Don't forget, you promised me."

Behind the white-clothed alchemist, a golden-haired young man, with a resolute face and a sturdy body, stood like a golden god of war, his eyes seemed to be burning with sharp flames.

He held the blade of the sword, and the golden rays blooming on the blade of the sword seemed to be immortal.

The blonde boy is none other than a squad leader in the Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Xin.

"Hehe, you have lost Chang'an City, and I have also lost my beloved. As long as you help me regain this beloved thing, I will naturally help you regain Chang'an City. ”

Hearing the young man's words, the white-clothed Fang Shi turned around, and the smile on his face was unexpectedly kind.

However, in Li Xin's view, this smile is still as terrifying as a demon and deceptive.

However, this person is the best at playing with people's hearts, right?

"What is your beloved thing?"

Li Xin frowned and asked, what is this guy, what is the beloved thing that hangs on his lips all day long? It was able to make him so concerned.

"Trust me, you won't want to know."

The weird smile rose again, and the white-clothed Fang Shi waved his sleeve robe, naturally and domineeringly ending the topic.

"If I were to say that you should fight your former comrades, would you agree?"

In his tone, there was a mocking taste.

“......”

Li Xin was silent, did not agree, but did not refuse, just frowned.

"If you can really help me retake Chang'an......"

Li Xin thought about it a little earlier than the white-clothed Fang Shi expected, and he couldn't help but look at him playfully.

"Oh? It seems that for you, is it more important to recapture your hometown than your former comrades-in-arms? ”

The words "life and death together", the white-clothed Fang Shi deliberately emphasized, as if mocking him.

Without waiting for Li Xin to answer, the white-clothed monk continued to speak: "In my hexagram, for you, between the Great Wall and Chang'an, there is an endless imitation......

"Have you really figured it out? Hahaha......"

As the demonic laughter gradually faded away, the figure of the white-clothed Fang Shi also disappeared in place, and the only thing left was Li Xin with a sword in his hand, and the wind and sand flying in the sky.

The wind and sand hit Li Xin's face, and his expression seemed to be a little painful.

Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, thousands of horses rode to the north.

In the torment of a mixture of memories and dreams, two paths spread out in front of him. A road is shining with golden light, but it leads to an endless abyss; A bumpy road, but it leads to ...... Changan.

What kind of self is the most correct one?

Between Chang'an and the Great Wall, how should you choose?

The yellow sand was flying, and Li Xin's thoughts were also scattered.

......

"It's ...... Soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Along the way, Hua Mulan and the others found the soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate again, but the only thing left was the corpse that had lost its vitality.

"Damn it!"

Anger appeared on Mulan's face, and not only because of these innocent dead soldiers.

She already understood that this was clearly a deliberate attempt to use the corpses of the soldiers to create a naked instruction leading to the plot!

With her fresh lives, not to mention the soldiers who swore to protect the Great Wall and protect the safety of the party as bait, Mulan already hated the people behind the conspiracy at this moment.

This time, even if it is a trap, she must go there in person!

Otherwise, where should these dead soldiers, their loyal bones and souls be laid?

"Mulan, don't be impulsive."

Seeing Mulan's anger because of hatred, Lu Yu stroked her back and said safely.

"If you lose your mind now, I'm afraid it's in the hands of that person."

Lu Yu reluctantly and gently persuaded, his face was also ugly, with so many corpses to tempt them all the way forward, this was a clear provocation.

"Lu Yu, I will definitely not let that guy go."

Because of the extreme anger, Mulan's voice became trembling.

"I won't let him go, Mulan, believe me, we will definitely be able to pull him out and completely wipe him out!"

Lu Yu hugged Mulan in his arms, and with his own temperature, he gradually dispersed the anger in her chest.
