Chapter 7 The Clouds Change
Along the way, Xiao Yufeng and Qin Huan'er talked and laughed, and talked about everything. They have been talking since they were three years old, and they have already talked about the boring life of more than ten years, if they didn't go to Cangyun Country soon, they might still talk about it non-stop.
Qin Huan'er feels very good about Xiao Yufeng now, she feels that Xiao Yufeng is extremely considerate to herself, if it weren't for Xiao Yufeng's existence along the way, she would be so bored.
Xiao Yufeng didn't know why, he was so fascinated by Qin Huan'er, he didn't even know why he took the initiative to ask himself to escort Qin Huan'er home.
He always felt that it was the Spirit Frost Sword that attracted him, it was his master's favorite sword, but he slowly discovered that Qin Huan'er, who had no experience in the world, gave him the idea of wanting to protect her.
It's been half a month this time, and they are about to reach the southernmost tip of Kyushu, Cangyun Country occupies this place, but Cangyun Country is also a small country, and there are only three cities in total, namely Biling City, Bailing City, and Tutian City, among which the king city is Bailing City, and the monarch of Cangyun Country is also in this place.
"Sister Huan'er, you're about to reach Biling City, and you can go home soon."
"Brother Yufeng, but the more I have to go home, the more reluctant I am to be senior brother and master, as well as you!"
Qin Huan'er sat on the horse's back and lowered her head shyly, and kept stroking the horse's mane with both hands, in order to hide her thumping heart. Qin Huan'er couldn't tell why there was so much reluctance, obviously nothing happened to the two of them along the way, it was just ordinary companionship.
"Sister Huan'er, I haven't said that I want to be separated from you yet, I will definitely send you to Lingzun's mansion before leaving, and I don't feel at ease that I will be separated from you now."
Xiao Yufeng's heart is the same, although the two of them have lived a very dull life in the past half a month, they also have a sense of dependence on Qin Huan'er.
"Well, let's go slower, we're getting tired these days." Qin Huan'er said in a low voice, but they were already walking very slowly this way.
Cangyun Country is close to the sea, the sky is very blue, and you can still feel the sea breeze on your face from time to time. But in this beautiful environment, it was not so beautiful, Qin Huan'er and Xiao Yufeng saw that there were many beggars along the way, as well as destroyed villages, all of which seemed a bit boring.
"Brother Yufeng, how can Cangyun Kingdom feel so embarrassed, it seems that the people here are not happy at all, I really don't know how my father and mother have been doing all these years, I'm really scared."
"I don't know, I've always heard that Cangyun Country is still very peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are all peaceful scenes, but now it looks completely different from what I heard."
At this moment an old woman came up to them, on crutches and with a bowl in her hand, and staggered. The whole person is swaying, and if you are not careful, you may slip to the ground.
The old grandmother looked at Qin Huan'er and Xiao Yufeng, and kept pleading: "Two well-wishers, please give me a little charity, my two little grandsons have been hungry all day." Both of my sons have been arrested, and their lives are now uncertain. ”
Qin Huan'er was a little puzzled and asked, "Grandma, we came all the way, and we haven't heard of any wars." ”
"You are outsiders, Cangyun Country has always been very harmonious, but in recent years, the three city lords have coveted the position of the monarch, and the original monarch has been imprisoned in the prison of Bailing City, so the war is a civil war, and the victims are all us ordinary people."
When Qin Huan'er heard this, she also felt a little nervous in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "How is Biling City?" My mom and dad are still in the city. ”
"I really don't know this, my body, I have to walk a little hard, and I can't go to the city to beg. However, I heard that the city is still relatively stable, and various city lords have found a lot of martial arts people in various places to guard their cities, and there are many soldiers. You two are okay, give me a little. ”
When Qin Huan'er heard this, she felt a little more comfortable, but she still had a lot of worries. On the other hand, they opened their bags, took some money and some dry food, and put them in the old woman's bowl, and then they continued to rush towards Biling City.
The figures of the two kept walking away, and the old grandmother kept saying thank you, good people have good rewards and the like, the more Qin Huan'er listened, the more sad she became.
Xiao Yufeng also knew that Qin Huan'er's mood was very uneasy now, so he comforted: "Sister Huan'er, don't worry too much, that old grandmother just said that the city is definitely better than the outside of the city, and Lingzun Lingtang will definitely be safe." ”
"Brother Yufeng, I know that you are comforting me, but I haven't seen my father, I will still be worried, if it were you, you would definitely be worried."
Xiao Yufeng didn't know how to reply to Qin Huan'er now, and the current comfort seemed a little useless, but he also blamed himself in his heart for not comforting people.
They walked outside Biling City, and from a distance, Biling City at dusk looked like a dead city, the tall city walls piled up of stones had no life at all, and there was no one around, which made Qin Huan'er a little anxious.
The closer they got, the more desolate and lonely they felt, until they reached the city gate, where they saw a large number of guards guarding the gate. The men stood still, looking around, and it was even more difficult for a fly to fly over.
Those guards stared at Qin Huan'er and Xiao Yufeng who were close to the city gate, making the two of them feel a hint of ominous signs.
"Where did you two come from, what are your names, and what are you doing here?" One of the guards at the head asked in an extremely rude tone.
Qin Huan'er has grown so big, but she has never been scolded in such a rude tone, and she is also angry, but there is no way to do it.
"I'm from Biling City, I left Biling City since I was a child, and now I'm back to visit relatives, this is my friend, go with me, now you can let us in."
Qin Huan'er was not impatient to say her intentions at all, and her mouth was also high, but Xiao Yufeng looked at Qin Huan'er like this, but she felt very cute.
"You have weapons, you are martial arts people, without the permission of the city lord, martial arts people are not allowed to enter the city without permission, do you want us to teach you this? Seeing that you are outsiders, it is not difficult for me to be for you, so you should get out of here quickly. ”
This guard was still extremely rude, which made Qin Huan'er want to draw his sword and come out, but Xiao Yufeng pulled Qin Huan'er aside.
"Sister Huan'er, let's not be in a hurry, this can't be forced, after all, it is heavily guarded now, it is getting late today, let's find a random place to rest first, and when someone enters and exits the city gate tomorrow, let those ordinary people send a letter to your father and mother, and let them pick you up."
Qin Huan'er had to temporarily suppress her anger and her uneasy mood, and then the two of them led the horse and prepared to walk into the distance.
"You two stop me!" A woman's voice came from above the castle tower.
