"Bang!" Just when Mei Changqing was thinking nonsense, there was a sound of plates hitting the floor in the kitchen, and such a sound would be almost every day after Xi'er came.

Mei Changqing walked into the kitchen and saw that Xi'er, who was wearing a white cheongsam, was looking at the ceramic fragments all over the ground at a loss, and when she saw Mei Changqing coming in, she immediately showed a helpless look.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I, I see you didn't have lunch, and I want to make you something to eat. Ciel explained in a panic like a child who had done something wrong.

"It's alright, Ci'er." Mei Changqing shook his head, this kind of thing happens several times a day Mei Changqing is also used to it, "Are you hurt?" ”

Saying that, Mei Changqing walked to Xi'er's side, held Xi'er's little hand, and looked up and down. Well, it's still silky skin, and there's no scarring.

Seeing that Xi'er was fine, Mei Changqing picked up the broom and began to clean the broken bowls and plates on the floor, and asked with some curiosity: "Have you encountered anything annoying recently?" In the past few days, Xi'er has been absent-minded no matter what she does, and the probability of making mistakes is much higher than in the first few days, Mei Changqing thinks that it may be that Xi'er misses her grandfather.

"Don't worry, your grandfather is almost coming back, just endure it for a few days."

"No, it's not." Xi'er shook her head and said in a low voice: "I think grandpa seems to be near the imperial capital, and grandpa seems to be in danger in the past few days." ”

Well? Mei Changqing was stunned, what is this, the seventh sense? Although Mei Changqing could guess through reasoning that the old man was probably going to do something dangerous this time, Mei Changqing didn't expect Xi'er to feel this way.

"How do you know?" Mei Changqing asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know, that's how I feel." Xi'er said with some confusion, "And I think grandpa is on the outskirts of the northern part of the imperial capital." ”

…… Can you even sense the direction? If you want to check it out, it must be dangerous, right?

Mei Changqing is also very interested in what the old man is going to do, the old man obviously doesn't look like a simple character, but he doesn't appear in the comics, so the only possibility is that he was killed before the comics started, and the old man's kung fu is not bad, otherwise he wouldn't have summed up so many assassination methods, and there are so many bodyguards around him, who killed the old man?

Mei Changqing felt that it was very likely that it was the four Rakshasa ghosts who made the shot, and the only four people who could be pulled out by the minister's subordinates were quite good, but if the four Rakshasa ghosts made a move, then it would be too dangerous to go over with Xi'er by himself.

"Mei Changqing, can you accompany me to have a look?" Ciel asked worriedly.

"Uh... You wait, you want me to think about it. Mei Changqing rubbed his temples with a headache, if it was really the four Rakshasa ghosts, it was estimated that he and Xi'er would have no effect in the past, one-on-one Mei Changqing was not afraid of the Rakshasa four ghosts, even if he couldn't win, it would be no problem to escape, but if he added Xi'er, he would only be sent to death.

At least one more person who can fight can go, and that person's strength must not be much weaker than his sister, otherwise it will be too dangerous, Mei Changqing walked back and forth in the room, thinking about who else could accompany him.

"Sure enough, it's still not good, it's too, it's such a dangerous thing after all." Ciel bowed her head in disappointment, she also knew that it was a bit difficult for a strong person to ask you to take yourself to those places.

"It's okay Mei Changqing, don't force yourself." Xi'er raised her head and smiled at Mei Changqing, she planned to take a look for herself, after all, she was her only grandfather, and she couldn't ignore his danger.

“… It's okay, I'll go with you, and before that we'll go find someone, and if she agrees, it'll be absolutely fine this time. Mei Changqing saw Xi'er's pitiful appearance of being generous to death, and shook her head helplessly, so far she is the only one who can help herself.

"I'm not sure if she'll come, but don't worry, I'll accompany you even if she doesn't want to come with us." Mei Changqing thought for a while and said, after all, everything is just Xi'er's intuition, and there must not be any powerful enemies, and since Fude entrusted Xi'er to himself, he can't let her run around casually.

"You go with me." Mei Changqing took Xi'er's hand and walked out the door.

Dozens of minutes later, Mei Changqing took Xi'er to find Joan of Arc, and at this time, Joan of Arc was looking at Mei Changqing and Xi'er with a serious face.

"It's dangerous there today, and it's forbidden for anyone to go there, it's the will of His Majesty the Emperor." Joan of Arc said, wiping the spear in her hand.

"But her grandfather may be there, and that's her only relative." Mei Changqing said with some excitement.

"Yes, please take us to see it." Ciel looked at Joan of Arc pleadingly, and now she also sensed that the suburbs north of the imperial capital were dangerous.

"It's no secret, the Empire's spies have discovered that there is a rebel army of the Empire gathered there tonight, with a total of tens of thousands of elite troops, and the person leading the rebel army is the officials of the older generation of the Empire." Joan of Arc thought for a moment and said.

"What!?" Ciel was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly ran over and grabbed Joan of Arc's shoulders and said loudly, "Please take me there, as long as you take me there, I am willing to do whatever I do." ”

"No, rules are rules, I can't disturb the order just because I pity you." Joan of Arc closed her eyes and said indifferently, "Maybe you're pitiful, but that's not a reason to break the rules." ”

"Can't you really go?" Seeing that Joan of Arc was so indifferent, Mei Changqing couldn't help asking.

"Yes, no one can go."

"You have to know that your teacher is probably in there too." Mei Changqing often chats and eats with Joan of Arc these days, and naturally knows that Joan of Arc's teacher is now the chief justice in the imperial capital and a friend of the old man Fu. Since it was the rebellion of the older generation, there was no reason why the justice should not participate.

"......" After hearing Mei Changqing's words, Joan of Arc was silent, of course he knew that his teacher was also there, but now she couldn't do anything.

"Even if you don't come with us, I'll take Ci'er." After Mei Changqing finished speaking, he took Xi'er's hand and turned around to leave.

Joan of Arc looked at Mei Changqing's back as she left, she wanted to go with Mei Changqing, but she didn't want to disobey the emperor's order, looking at Mei Changqing and Xi'er's backs getting farther and farther away, an impulse suddenly welled up from her heart.

"Wait." When Mei Changqing was about to walk to the door, Joan of Arc finally said the words to stay. Mei Changqing has a unique place in Joan of Arc's heart, Joan of Arc came to this world after being burned to death, and has always been a lonely person, although he has also made some friends, but Joan of Arc has never been able to let go of that world.

No one in this world understands Joan of Arc's loneliness in a strange place, and can't tell anyone about the pain and despair. Until one day, when Joan of Arc herself was about to forget about another world, Mei Changqing appeared, in order to fulfill her wish.

At that moment, Joan of Arc felt that she had not been abandoned by the Lord, Mei Changqing was sent by the Lord to redeem herself, if she was a Catholic saint, then Mei Changqing was her own saint.

"Remember, don't fight the Empire's armies under any circumstances." This is the third time Joan of Arc has reminded Mei Changqing and Xi'er that she has heard of tonight's action, and it seems that it is an action by the ministers of the empire to exclude dissidents. This time a large number of high-ranking officials and generals of the empire were involved, and I heard that there was even a general, and his own teacher seemed to be among them.

"Alas~" Joan of Arc sighed helplessly, if she could, she also wanted to save her teacher, but this was not easy, this rebellion even His Majesty the Emperor was alarmed, and it seemed that he was going to send General Bude to quell the rebellion, but then it seemed that for some reason, the general who was called the strongest in the empire retreated.

"Don't worry, I won't do it until I have to." Mei Changqing replied without hesitation, everyone Joan of Arc took the risk to bring herself, and it would be too much to cause trouble to the other party.

"Be quiet, we should be approaching the battlefield." Joan of Arc shrugged her cute little nose and said, she could already smell the faint smell of blood in the air, and if there were no accidents, there was a battlefield ahead.

"That, Mei Changqing." Xi'er stopped suddenly and asked with some uncertainty, "Do you definitely seem to be much colder here than just now?" ”

Mei Changqing stopped to feel the temperature, and found that it was indeed much lower than just now: "Maybe it's night, the temperature will drop a lot when the sun sets." ”

"After all, this is a suburb, and it's normal to get cold at night." Joan of Arc said.

"Normal?" Ciel looked at a small piece of ice slag under her feet with some confusion, and repeated Joan of Arc's words in a bit of confusion.

"Okay, as long as you cross this jungle, you will be able to destroy the rebels..."Joan of Arc in front whispered to Mei Changqing, but when Joan of Arc pushed away the last branch in front of him, he was speechless by the scene in front of him.

"What's wrong, Joan of Arc? It's!" Mei Changqing saw that Joan of Arc didn't speak, and walked to Joan of Arc's side, and was also stunned by the scene in front of her.

On the plain, there was no end in sight, densely packed with the corpses of Imperial soldiers, some of these corpses were frozen by huge blocks of ice, and some were pierced by sharp ice, and each corpse had a very similar look of wonder on its face, as if it had seen something unbelievable.

Not far away, a woman with long silver and blue hair was confronting two fords and an old man. The woman was dressed in a white high-ranking officer's uniform and held a gorgeous ice sword in her hand, which was none other than Estes. The Fude opposite him was covered with large and small scars, and bright red blood kept flowing from the scars. And an old man, topless, fell to his knees and gasped violently.

"You're doing good, and you've stuck with it until now." Estes looked at the only two people alive on the field with a cold and arrogant expression.

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for my age, it would have been easy to deal with this little girl of yours. Fude said stubbornly.

"Ahem, miscalculated, there is such a monster in the Empire." The shirtless old man coughed up a mouthful of blood and said in despair.

"After saying your last words, then let's die with peace of mind." Estes raised the ice sword in her hand and rushed towards Forde, Estes was tired of this game and wanted to end it quickly.

"No!" At this time, Xi'er walked to Mei Changqing's side, saw such a scene, screamed, raised the imperial tool in his hand that was taller than her, and rushed towards Estes.

"Huh?" Estes didn't expect that there were still living people, and stopped to watch the purple-haired girl rush to Fud, raising the big scissors in her hand and looking at her with a hostile expression.

"Cier!? Why are you here? Come on! When Forde saw Cier, he exclaimed incredulously.

"Don't hurt my grandfather." Ciel looked at Estes and said.

“… Is it the granddaughter of a rebel leader? I just eradicated it together. Estes was stunned for a moment when he saw Ciel, and smiled bloodthirsty.

"Brush." Estes picked up the ice sword and swung it at Xi'er's neck, an ordinary sword with a speed that ordinary people can't see with the naked eye, this is the skill that Estes summed up when hunting dangerous species, attacking the enemy's vital points at a very fast speed, although not gorgeous but with a very high killing efficiency.

Ciel was not afraid of Estes's ice sword, and picked up the big scissors in her hand and stabbed at Estes.

"What!?" The ice sword and the scissors collided, and under Estes's incredulous gaze, the ice sword was cut in half, looking at the scissors that were approaching quickly, Estes hurriedly jumped back, but Xi'er's scissors still left a not deep and shallow scar on Estes's waist, and the blood quickly dyed Estes's white military uniform red.

"It's good, you actually hurt me." Touching the wound on his waist, Estes said with some surprise.

Even she didn't know how strong Estes was after getting the emperor, and the 100,000 imperial troops and the generals of the empire just now didn't hurt herself, but now she was actually injured by a little girl.

Estes raised his left and walked, and the two icicles instantly sealed Ciel's two hands, and Estes walked up to Ciel, who was struggling step by step, and re-condensed an ice sword around her neck.

"You have a talent for killing, but you must die today."

Estes could feel Xi'er's excellent killing talent, judging from the posture of swinging the knife, he was obviously a novice, but he could attack a person's vital parts without hesitation, if he hadn't flashed fast just now, he would have been cut off by the big scissors.

"Grandpa, run." Ciel didn't seem to care about the ice sword around her neck at all, instead reminding Fude to run away.

"Hehe, don't try to escape, you all have to die today." Estes smiled when he heard Xi'er's words and said, "Especially your grandfather, he is the culprit named by the emperor and the ministers to be killed. ”

With that, Estes raised his left hand again, and a sharp ice peak rose from the ground, piercing the hearts of Forde and the other old man.

"Let's go." Fude spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Ci'er's back with a dying breath, and said in a weak voice.

"You don't have to worry, she'll be with you soon." Estes raised the ice sword in his hand and said to Ci'er's heart.

"Stop, sister." Just when Estes wanted to give Xi'er the final blow, Mei Changqing couldn't help but stand up.

"Hehe, you're finally out, Xiaoqing." Estes said with a smile after seeing Mei Changqing.

"What!?" Joan of Arc and Ciel screamed at the same time, they didn't expect that the demonic woman in front of them was actually Mei Changqing's sister.

"Stop, sister. You've killed too many people. Mei Changqing said expressionlessly.

"This girl is the granddaughter of the rebel leader." Estes said.

"Sister just wants to pacify the rebels, right?" Mei Changqing asked.

“… Yes. Estes thought for a moment and replied.

"That girl is not a rebel, her grandfather asked me to take care of her, I don't believe it." Mei Changqing said.

Mei Changqing's words made Estes entangled for a while, and Mei Changqing lived for so many years, Estes knew that his younger brother attached great importance to his commitment to others, once Mei Changqing promised her to hunt dangerous species alone, but stayed alone in the snowy mountains in winter for a month, and the whole clan thought that Mei Changqing was dead before coming back, and at that time Mei Changqing was only 6 years old.

Estes knew that Mei Changqing probably wouldn't be able to kill this girl today, but she didn't want to let Xi'er go, and suddenly Estes thought of a way to kill Xi'er without angering her brother.

"Xiaoqing, I said before, after I get the emperor's tool, as long as you can beat me, I will listen to you." Estes smiled like a little fox in his treacherous scheme, "But you can't beat me now without looking at you, so let your companion who is hiding over there come with you, and I won't kill her if you win me." ”

Estes's abacus played very loudly, Mei Changqing's strength Estes knew very well that if he really fought, it would be a matter of solving it with a sword, and Mei Changqing would not really make a move on himself, so if Mei Changqing agreed to his request, then the only thing to deal with next was Joan of Arc beside Mei Changqing.

Although I don't know what Joan's strength is, Estes, who has obtained the emperor's tool, is not afraid of a woman, and Estes feels that he can now be said to be an invincible existence.

"Cut, sister, you've become smarter." Mei Changqing muttered helplessly and turned to look at Joan of Arc, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to involve you in such a dangerous incident." ”

"It's okay, Mei Changqing." Joan of Arc shook her head, she didn't expect that there would be such a strong monster-like woman in the empire, and this woman was actually Mei Changqing's sister.

"You shouldn't be able to make a move on your sister, just leave it to me here." Joan of Arc shook the spear in her hand and walked across from Estes.

"Hello, my name is Joan of Arc." Joan of Arc stood across from Estes, bent down in a defensive gesture and looked at Estes intently.

"You don't have to be so nervous, being able to come here and fight me shows that you are one of the few friends of Xiaoqing, I will not kill you to make my beloved brother sad, but you may have to suffer a little injury." Estes glanced Joan of Arc up and down with a sly expression, and the look was a bit like the way her mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law.

Joan of Arc was looked at a little uncomfortably, and rushed towards Estes with the battle flag in one hand. After Estes entered the attack range, he waved the battle flag in his hand vigorously.

"Brush." The rapidly dancing battle flag swept towards Estes from the side with a gust of wind, and Estes looked at the waving battle flag, and condensed the ice sword in his hand to block Joan of Arc's attack.

Estes thought that Joan of Arc's strength was about the same as Hill, and wanted to leave his hand for fear of hurting Joan of Arc, but he didn't expect Joan of Arc to be different from Hill, Joan of Arc is a hero of France, a Catholic saint, and in another world, Joan of Arc's achievements are not lower than the future Estes in this world, and they are all hero-like characters standing at the top of mankind.

Joan of Arc's battle banner directly whipped Estes away, and Estes in the sky was a little surprised to turn over and stabilize himself and fall back to the ground, looked at the ice sword full of cracks in his hand, and threw it on the ground.

"You... Very good. Estes's hands flashed, and the two instantly condensed into two gorgeous ice swords. Estes could feel that although Joan of Arc's strength was weaker than himself, he was an opponent at the same level as himself, and it was the first time Estes had encountered such a person since he was a child.

Estes raised the ice sword with both hands and turned his body, and two white cold winds rolled up on the ice sword, and the cold wind rolled bigger and bigger in the air, and a thick layer of cold ice formed on the surface of both the grass and the rocks everywhere he passed, and the two cold winds swept towards Joan of Arc left and right.

"My god is here." Looking at the inevitable attack, Joan of Arc planted her battle flag on the ground with both hands and closed her eyes.

A transparent circular enchantment enveloped Joan of Arc, and Estes's two white cold winds quickly converged after hitting the enchantment, forming a huge white tornado of more than ten meters.

A few seconds later, a huge white tornado dissipated into the air, turning into a white blanket of snow under the ravages of the tornado, except for the location of Joan of Arc in the center. A breeze blew, and the battle flag in Joan of Arc's hand fluttered in the wind, standing like a Valkyrie.

"What kind of imperial tool is that? It can actually absorb my ice. As if he had seen some interesting toy, Estes looked curiously at the battle flag in Joan of Arc's hand. Estes could feel that the reason why the tornado disappeared in a few seconds was because of the circular barrier emitted by the Imperial Tool in Joan of Arc's hand.

"You don't need to know." Joan of Arc pulled out the battle flag and said with a blank face.

"It's okay, even if you don't say it, I'll find a way to force you to say it." Estes picked up the ice sword in both hands and rushed towards Joan of Arc.

"You can try." Joan of Arc picked up the battle flag and greeted it.

Estes stabbed Joan of Arc with a sword, but was blocked by Joan of Arc's battle flag, and the ice sword in his other hand was kicked away by Joan of Arc.

Looking at Joan of Arc who was fighting with him, Estes suddenly had an urge to ravage this girl madly for some reason, Estes wanted to destroy this girl's strength and stubbornness, and completely conquered this blonde girl by force.

Estes, who had an idea of Joan of Arc, flashed a hint of madness in his eyes, revealing a tyrannical and hideous smile. I saw Estes jump back slightly, and the sharp ice sword appeared again. Armed with dual swords, Estes' strength and speed suddenly skyrocketed, and he launched a rainstorm attack on Joan of Arc.

Over the next ten minutes, Estes began to attack Joan of Arc with all his might, as if he had changed as a different person. Different from the previous monotonous attack method, the current Estes's attack can be said to be disorderly, and the weapons in his hands are not obsessed with ice swords, ice axes, ice chains, and ice guns, as long as they are used easily, they will be instantly condensed by Esdes.

In the face of Estes's attack, Joan of Arc could only passively resist with the battle flag in his hand, and from time to time dodge the ice peaks that suddenly burst out on the ground, and fell into absolute weakness for a while.

"Tsk, sister, is this crazy?" Mei Changqing looked at Estes who was fighting frantically with some surprise, Estes in that posture was even the first time he had seen him, but Mei Changqing knew that if he didn't think of a way, it was estimated that Joan of Arc wouldn't last long.

However, Mei Changqing knew that even if he was a sneak attack, he would not be able to put much pressure on Estes, and even if he used an ordinary saber to launch the conviction light gun, even if he broke through the ice wall of Estes, he would not be able to stand the strength of the conviction light spear when attacking the second side, and it would be shattered directly.

"Alas, Joan of Arc you have to hold on, or I won't be able to save you." After looking around, let alone a saber, after not even a single grass, Mei Changqing could only sigh helplessly and say that he couldn't help.

"What's wrong, what's wrong. What about your momentum? Estes screamed with excitement as he hit more and more smoothly. Joan of Arc, on the other hand, was now beaten and retreated by Estes, and was almost stabbed by Estes's ice sword several times.

Suddenly, Estes kicked Joan of Arc in the abdomen and kicked Joan of Arc staggering back a few steps, and at the same time threw out the ice chain that had just been condensed in his hand to tie Joan of Arc's battle flag and dragged it away, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the battle flag flew in the direction of Mei Changqing.

"Huh?" Mei Changqing saw the weapon in the air and immediately ran over to catch Joan of Arc's battle flag, and held the weapon in his hand, Mei Changqing couldn't help but sigh that although it was a battle flag, it was surprisingly comfortable to hold in his hand, as Joan of Arc's main weapon, although my god was a battle flag here, but it felt quite good.
