Chapter 41: A Journey to the Border

This is the noisy evening of the Great Wall Guards, the Mulan squad.

It was late at night, and Shou Yu and Xuan Ce had rested early, and at this time, Hua Mulan was discussing with Su Lie the order she had just received.

The news of the assembly of the demon seed comes from the wandering monk who went to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the monks do not speak, so it should be credible.

Su Lie frowned and summed it up: "Are you saying that these days, the demon seed has neither attacked the Great Wall nor harassed the Jade City, but because a super strong demon seed was born on the border?" ”

Mulan nodded, "Yes, tomorrow morning, I'm going to explore the border city." ”

Kai looked at the flames that were extinguishing and said with some expectation, "Captain, I'll go with you." ”

"No, armor, you have to go to the Great Wall with your uncle tomorrow to change shifts, I'll just take Xuan Ce and let him lead the way, and stay and cook for you."

Su Lie nodded, "It's okay, go early and come back early." ”

"Okay." Armor has a hunch that something he can't predict will happen this time, but I hope it's just his own delusion as before!

After Shou Yu coaxed Xuan Ce to sleep, he also fell asleep, and he fell into a dream.

Half a month ago, in Yucheng, the stranger in the white robe and red dress asked him what his ideal was in life?

He replied: The ideal of life, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my younger brother.

But at this time, why did you dream of her? It's obviously just a meeting in Pingshui and a guest from another country. But there is an indescribable feeling, like some kind of power sleeping in the blood, about to awaken.

Then, a voice echoed in his head: "Wake up, live, and protect your brother." ”

"Okay." Baili Shouyu nodded to Xuan Ce, who had already packed his luggage, and agreed with his behavior of going to the border city to find King Lanling.

There's no way, who doesn't let them know where the Lanling King is stationed! Only Xuan Ce can lead the way for Mulan to see if the desert storm in the border city is a ghost caused by the king of Lanling.

He didn't really want Xuan Ce to meet the King of Lanling, after all, there was a time when the King of Lanling came to see his younger brother (?). He stopped him outside the Great Wall and thanked him for taking care of Xuan Ce over the years, but he was still not allowed to step into the Great Wall even a step.

"Xuan Ce, there is enough food in the bag for you to eat for three days, if you come back, remember to put a signal flare." Su Lie stuffed the flare and package into Xuan Ce's hand, and continued in a chattering voice: "Don't you tell King Lanling about the distribution of the Great Wall guards, he may not give up on the Great Wall for the sake of the captain. ”

"Uncle Anla, with the captain here, I won't make a mistake." Hyun Ce carried the package behind his back, and he could already smell the beef jerky.

Wait a minute...... And wine?!

"By the way, by the way, I gave this pot of wine in the bag to Li Bai, he didn't drink well, so he didn't let you bring too much."

"emmmm......" Xuan Ce was not happy, it turned out that his role was ...... Is it just to give away wine?

"When you share a good wine with your friends, it tastes even sweeter." Su Lie touched his head and smiled heartily.

Standing on the city wall, Shouyo watched Xuan Ce and the captain walk into the vast sea of sand, and felt uncomfortable for a while, those yellow sand seemed to be monsters that would devour them, which made him unstoppable worried.

Su Lie, who was changing shifts, comforted him: "Keep the promise, don't worry too much, they just go to investigate, and it will be fine." ”

"King Lanling will protect them, don't worry." Kai also said.

He seemed to be able to understand that sentence now. Loved ones should always be together. Little sister, where are you at this moment?

"Well, I know, if it's really the most dangerous mission, how can it be possible for the two of them to investigate, it must be the whole team together." Shou Yue said this, but his heart was pounding badly.

Let's hope it's just to scare yourself!

Keeping the covenant and armor think the same.

But this time, their hunch was not wrong.

The stranger in the white robe and red dress stood on the top of a certain tower in Jinting City, looked at the explorers who entered the city, touched Mengqi's ears, looked at Guiguzi who was exploring the ruins, and muttered to himself: "Doomed fate, doomed death." ”

Hua Mulan looked at the mottled battle marks on the stone pillar, and asked nostalgically, "Xiao Xuance, do you remember the first time you took me to find your master?" ”

"Yes." Xuan Ce looked at the mottled traces of battle and nodded.

That was before I was reunited with my brother.

Xuan Ce, who failed to challenge the master, knelt on the ground, stayed without money in his tears, looked at the distant figure of the master, and asked the captain who looked at the distant figure: "Am I so annoying?" Everyone will leave me eventually. ”

Mulan walked up to him, "He didn't leave you, he just chose to face his fear alone." ”

Xuan Ce raised his head, "You guys...... Isn't it an enemy? "Why do you know Master so well?

"Probably, it's because we all have hometowns we want to protect."

On the other side, Hirsch jumped down from the tower, landed in front of Guiguzi, and said with a smile: "Come on, the demon seed is coming, let's go." ”

In order to meet the person I want to meet, you must help me make my wish come true!

Xuan Ce and Mulan walked in the hinterland of the desert for a few days, and arrived at the lawless land where Xuan Ce and Shou Yu stayed for many years after they separated.

He has been away for many years, and the oppression and injustice of the lawless land still exists, but recently the leader of a group of horse thieves has taken over the right to govern this place from his master, and has gradually eliminated some of the oppression, but that is only what a simple young man sees.

The young man who slept in the tower of the lawless land bazaar opened his eyes, looked at the two people passing under the tower, and shouted, "General Hua, Xuan Ce, you are finally here. ”

Xuan Ce raised his head when he heard this, and saw the young man asked in surprise: "Uncle Bai, do you know that we are coming?" ”

"I saw Chang Gong's face, and I already guessed it." Li Bai's clothes flew and landed in front of them in a chic manner. Reaching out, he took out the only remaining wine jug from the bag behind Xuan Ce.

Li Bai opened it and smelled it, the smell of wine wafted out, he quickly covered it, and said in surprise and joy: "Ouch Xiao Xuance, it's okay, you really brought me a drop of wine." ”

"I wanted to throw it away, but the uncle said it was a rare wine, very expensive, and delicious." Xuan Ce said.

"Do you want to drink?" Li Bai asked with a smile.

"Is that okay?" Xuan Ce looked at Mulan, Mulan raised her eyebrows, and decisively refused: "Don't drink children, they won't grow tall." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Xuan Ce was stunned, but he had never drunk alcohol, why was he not as tall as his brother?

"It's fake, but this wine is strong, so don't drink it." Li Bai touched his head in a good mood, and continued with a smile: "General Hua, Xiao Xuance, come with me and talk to Changgong." ”

"What are you talking about?" Mulan frowned, not knowing what kind of wine he was selling in his gourd.

"About the eye of the storm, of course." Li Bai was holding the grass in his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were flowing, and his unruly appearance made Mulan want to cut him.

"Eye of the Storm?" Hua Mulan asked suspiciously: "You mean, the assembly of the demon seed in the four border cities is because of ...... Eye of the Storm? ”

"That's right, the eye of the storm is only because of its ability to create sandstorms, a colloquial saying." Li Bai said: "But the merchant who passed by told me that it also has a legendary name, the Eye of Nirvana!" ”
