"Are you sure?" Su Xi asked hurriedly.

"You should know that the Regent's army is now a lost dog, and if anyone moves in the army, it must be a big deal." Xiao Rong is the main general, how can he ignore it? If there are assassins, it means that someone has come to take the child back. Without a child, what did Xiao Rong use to blackmail Wu Wu to take out the butterfly Gu? ”

Su Xi's face tightened slightly, "Childe, you have something to say!" ”

Zhao Wuwu wanted to put the cup down, but because of the slight tremor in his hand, he instantly knocked over the cup. The tea poured and kept falling to the ground along the table, which can be imagined how magnificent her heart is at the moment.

On her face, she still had a shallow and indifferent attitude, "Since the child is not here, and Xiao Rong is not here, then there is nothing to scruple about." Although we don't bring too many people, there are enough ways to eliminate these worries. ”

Su Xi leaned over and squatted in front of Zhao Wuwu, "But Childe, is this news credible?" It's just a glance, we're all guessing! ”

"It's me who is too emotional." Zhao Wuwu looked at her, his eyes were slightly gloomy, "I only cared about chasing Xiao Rong, but I forgot one of the most obvious truths." Xiao Rong is now running for his life, leading these people to run together, isn't he killing himself? The goal is so big, it's a death to go anywhere. It is better to separate from the army and let these people who are sent to death mislead us. ”

Su Xi narrowed his eyes, "In this way, Xiao Rong may really not be in the army anymore." ”

"We have been chasing the army for a few days, and we have lost because we have not made a move." Zhao Wuwu whispered, "Xiao Rong is estimated to have run 108,000 miles." By the time we continued to chase, he had already gone to Guanwai. ”

"I'll chase it!" "No matter what, Xiao Sirui can't fall into Xiao Rong's hands for too long." The child is too young to withstand the toss, if it is...... It's not enough for me to lose my life. ”

"You are as important as a child." Zhao Wuwu raised his eyelids and looked at him, "I don't want anyone to have an accident, so don't say such things again after that, I don't want to hear it again." Dad, you lead the people to set off first, and you can only get out of the customs if you go south, so Xiao Rong will not stay in Daye for a long time, if he wants to live, he has to leave Daye, otherwise he may be discovered at any time. The desert outside the gate, he is the most familiar. ”

"Okay, I'll set off immediately." ”

"Let the Shadow Guard follow you." Zhao Wuwu said, "After all, this matter has to be done quietly." ”

Wen got up and walked out, "I'll leave right away." ”

"Daddy!" Zhao Wuwu shouted.

Wen looked back at her, his face full of guilt, "I'll be careful." ”

"Don't say sorry to me, you don't owe me." Zhao Wuwu naturally knew what he was thinking, "Don't feel guilty, you only think it's your granddaughter, don't feel that you owe me, so you will work hard." I still say the same thing, whether it is you or the child, I will be grief-stricken, and life is better than death. Think twice about everything, there is no need to go to the worst. ”

"I made a note of it." Wen Gu's eyes were red, "You and Xiao Sirui are also my most important people." ”

After speaking, he hurried away.

Zhao Wuwu got up slowly and let out a long breath, "Suxi, this will be a fierce battle." Since Xiao Rong is not in the army, it is also a good thing. Xiao Rong does not die, I will not be at peace in this life. ”

Su Xi arched his hands and clenched his fists, "Please ask the son to command, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not give up!" ”

"Tell me to go down and put the military affairs in order. Send a small team of men and horses to guard at the bottom of the mountain, and beat the war drums every half an hour. Zhao Wuwu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "Use the old method to mess with the military spirit on the mountain." ”

Su Xi bowed his head, "I understand." ”

The trembling in my heart finally turned into a kind of resentment, a resentment that had nowhere to vent. She had never hated someone so much as she did now, almost gritting her teeth, but also powerless.

It is as a mother that her worries and worries about her children make her misjudge and miss the best time to find her child. Xiao Rong is missing, and her daughter is missing.

Maybe you will be taken outside the border, and you don't know what you will encounter along the way.

Will the child be hungry or cry?

If the child pees, will the butt be red?

There is also a big wind and sand outside this pass, if you really go to the desert, will the child be able to stand it?

Zhao Wuwu didn't dare to think about it, and every time he thought about it, the position below his left shoulder was dripping with blood. That is the flesh of her heart that fell from her pregnancy in October, and it is the last blood and hope between her and him.

Xiao Rong took away not only a child, but also Zhao Wuwu's spiritual pillar.

Wen Gu led people to chase Xiao Rong, although he didn't know which direction he was going, but he definitely didn't dare to go to the border town, after all, he had to go out of the customs to verify his identity. Xiao Rong is already a lost dog, and he must take the remote road so that he can get out of the customs safely.

There are checkpoints everywhere, in order to intercept the regent's army, so Xiao Rong can't go out on the avenue, and he can only leave the territory of Daye by detour.

You can only chase it with experience, and it is naturally best to find clues, if you really can't find it, then you can only blame God for this.

Zhao Wuwu's strategy of harassing the enemy seems to have played a certain role, and the other party is tired of running for his life, making the other party in a state of mental tension all the time. Waiting for them to really let down their vigilance, it was time for Zhao Wuwu to fight hard.

Only by destroying the regent's army can Xiao Rong's last retreat be cut off.

Leeway...... Zhao Wuwu thought about it, did he have a way out? It seems that from the beginning to the end, she has never had a way out. Why can't this damn world give her a way out?

Her mind was far away, she thought about her daughter, and her heart was like a knife. Thinking about the departure of the person who has not returned, I want to break my liver and intestines.

This desert is lonely, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and I don't know how many tears have been dyed.

Desert lonely boat, a lonely inn stands in it, this is the border between Daqi and Yue's family, the area of the three regardless of the three, just because it is a desert, and it is a passing pedestrian who comes and goes. In all directions, the people who come here don't know where to go, but they all have one thing, that is, people are tired.

There were camels tied to the door, and there were a few horses in the shed.

The guy at the foot of the slope was feeding the horses, and the crazy old man was squatting at the door, "It's windy again, I guess the sandstorm is coming again." ”

"Then Master, come in quickly, let's close this door." Dude said.

The old man sat there motionless, "What are you yelling about, I've been here for many years, and it's not the first time I've seen a sandstorm." I just thought, that girl hasn't come back since she left here for so long, don't you meet quicksand or something like that halfway, swallow it, right? It's hard to pick up a life, but don't toss it again. ”

"It's been a long time since I've been recuperating, so I'm sure it's okay. Miss Xuelan is good at martial arts, and she will come back after sending the news, so don't worry about it. The guy smiled.

The old man gave him a blank look, "You know a fart, how lonely it is in this desert, it is rare for someone to listen to me." If you don't have this girl, how lonely and lonely you should be. Another day, I'll go to Nanfu Town to take a look, see if there is anything I like, and directly find a son-in-law for this girl, so that she can stay and play with me. ”

The guy shook his head, Master's old mistake has been made again, and he likes to give people a little bit of mandarin duck scores.

"Master, that Xuelan girl was born well, ordinary people can't look down on her, so don't worry about it." After the man finished feeding the horses, he turned around with the empty basket, "I'll go see Mu Gongzi." ”

The old man was bored and remained at the door. A group of people came not far away, probably to stay in the hotel, the wind and sand are so big, these people naturally can't continue to go.

With a light sigh, it must be very boring to stay here day after day, year after year. But he didn't want to go back to Daqi, this day ...... It's no different from waiting to die.

But the days of waiting for death were too long, and he had to find something to make him happy.

Those who can come and go in the desert have some skills, so those who have the ability are naturally more horizontal, but you have to be honest here, otherwise there is a way to clean up people.

The guests were eating in the lobby, and the man limped over to the old man, "Master, these people are very raw. ”

"There are too many faces, and you can't remember all the faces under the world in your heart, are you tired?" The old man chewed dates, "No one is allowed to make trouble in my inn." Whoever dares to make trouble will get out of here, the wind and sand are strong outside, and I will be full of sand. ”

The guy nodded, "Yes!" Then he said, "But the rooms are full, and there is still one room left for Miss Xuelan, this ......"

"Have you been brained lately, come first and come first, I don't care if you are a high-ranking official or a rich merchant, there is only order in my place, and there is no difference between men and women in status and status." The old man was very unhappy, as soon as the girl left, there was no trace, and she really said that she would just leave!

"Then I'll go and say it, let them live together, the rules here are written on the door, and the merchants in the past also know it." The lame guy headed for the gang.

Rules are rules, who doesn't know the rules in this desert. The old man looked crazy, but his ability was not small, and everyone on the road knew that the gods and ghosts were useless in this inn, and what the old man said was what he said.

So although I was reluctant, I couldn't help it if I didn't have a guest room.

While he was eating, there was a knock at the door. The wind and sand outside have risen, and there is a confusion everywhere. I guess I came to stay again, so no one cared.

"It's Miss Shirlan!" The guy smiled, "Come on in!" ”

Xue Lan entered the door, took off the light gauze hat on her head, and shook off the yellow sand. The man hurried outside and tied the horse, lest the horse run away and be a great loss.

It's just that there seem to be a lot of guests today, and they are all fresh faces. The people who came and went during this time were not these people. So Xue Lan was stunned for a moment, and then walked upstairs.

"Didn't the shopkeeper say that there are no guest rooms? This is a first-come, first-served rule, why doesn't it count when it comes to this beautiful girl? Naturally, the wave of people in the lobby did not agree.

Xue Lan ignored it, just glanced at the shopkeeper, and continued to walk towards the staircase.

The next moment, someone suddenly landed in front of her in the air, and the thief's eyes fell on Xue Lan. This exotic woman, with enchanting eyebrows and a graceful figure, would have such an evil heart for anyone. What's more, in this desert, what is lacking is water and women.

The old man frowned slightly, this little thought could still be seen. What's wrong with this woman being born too beautiful, what's bad is the evil obstacles that spend the rest of her life thinking.

Think about your little apprentice, who is also a beauty, beautiful and innocent. But to covet beauty is to be unforgivable.

Thinking of this, the old man glanced at the man, who limped forward, "This guest officer, this girl is our long-term guest here, so there is a guest room." You don't know that we failed to inform us in advance, so please bear with me and don't cause trouble here. ”

"What? Who do you say is causing trouble? "The sturdy man doesn't agree, this delicate beauty is right in front of him!

Xue Lan was originally a cold beauty, so naturally she wouldn't give them a good face, and snorted coldly, "Get out!" ”

At this roar, those people also followed the coax and walked over. Seeing that he didn't give up like this, he thought that he wanted to bully Xue Lan, and he thought that Xue Lan was a weak woman who was easy to bully.

The lame guy frowned, "Don't make trouble, this is our place, if you don't want to stay in the hotel, get out, you won't be entertained." ”

"Get out of the way!" Those people didn't want to pay attention to this guy at the foot of the slope, and their eyes fell on Xue Lan.

Xue Lan straightened up slightly, and looked up at the old man, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, what if I do it here?" ”

"It's yours to be killed, it's mine if you can't be killed." The old man smiled and chewed the dates, "This yellow sand is all over the sky, if you kill it and throw it into the desert, the vultures on the Gobi Desert can have a good meal." ”

Xue Lan nodded, "Then send them to feed the vultures, and the deal you lost will be recorded on my head, and I will return it to you with interest in the future." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" The old man sat on the side and watched the excitement, "The old man hasn't seen people fight for a long time, and his heart is itching!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Xue Lan looked at these people in front of her, her eyes slightly cold.

The next moment, the gang suddenly pounced en masse. Xue Lan's words obviously angered them, and a weak woman dared to speak wildly, so they naturally didn't agree.

No one believed that a group of strong men could no match a woman.

But on the contrary, Xue Lan convinced them all. She is used to being ruthless, and she was extremely cold in Fengyue in her early years, and at this moment someone dares to belittle her, she is even more ruthless.

A group of strong men were beaten down by her, and they didn't even have the strength to get up.

The lame guy roared, "Get out!" ”

These people can only run out with their tails between their legs, but it is windy and sand outside, and they can only stay outside the door. It is good to eat the wind and sand, so as not to offend people if you are too stubborn.

The old man stared at Xue Lan thoughtfully, he only knew that this Xue Lan had a little kung fu earlier, but he didn't expect this martial arts to be so good, and ......

He sighed lightly, "You are a unique martial artist, I think your master is a master outside the world!" This kung fu path is not simple! ”

Xue Lan laughed dryly, unbuttoned her sleeves, and dusted off the sand inside, "What does the shopkeeper want to say?" ”

"Who taught you this martial arts?" The old man asked.

"You can see it all, don't you?" Xue Lan narrowed her eyes, "There are not many people in the world who can recognize my martial arts path, and I think Your Excellency is not an ordinary person. She arched her hand, "Xue Lan has eyes that don't know Taishan, please bear with me." ”

The old man walked around Xuelan, "I'm not a master, but I eat a lot of salt, so I just have points in my heart!" In the early years, I heard that there was a sect called Ghost Palace in this desert, especially the white-bearded old monster, which was even more famous. It's a pity that he rarely accepts apprentices, and his whereabouts are uncertain, and few people have seen his true face. ”

"That's not my master." Xue Lan said, "But my martial arts do come from the Ghost Palace, and I don't dare to deceive them, after all, you saved my brother and my brother's lives." ”

The old man sighed lightly, "If you can still meet people from the Ghost Palace in your lifetime, the old man is also a blessing!" ”

Xue Lan smiled bitterly, "The ghost palace is not so mysterious, there are also good and evil, good and evil. She paused, and then stopped, probably feeling that some things were really difficult to say, so it was better not to say it, "I'll go see my brother first!" ”

"Master?" The guy frowned, "This Xuelan girl's martial arts are really high!" ”

"The martial arts are really high, and this heart is really straight enough, and there is no defense at all. If I have a little evil thoughts, I guess it's too late for her to regret it. The old man pouted, "I'll take a look, you stare at it." ”

"Good!" Dude bows his head.

The old man followed Xue Lan into the room one after the other, and there was a person lying straight on the bed.

Xue Lan sat on the edge of the bed with a gentle face, exhaled lightly, and her originally tense face eased at the moment. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were gentle, "Brother, I'm back." I've already sent the news, and I've been sending messages back these days, and I don't know if I can deliver them, but I always have to do my best. ”

The old man stood on the side, "His corpse is so poisonous, if he hadn't hung with his last breath, he would have been a dead man a long time ago." ”

"So I want to thank you." Xue Lan narrowed her eyes, "As long as you can take a breath, there is still hope." No matter how slim that hope is, give it a try. ”

"Hope?" The old man sat down beside him, "Don't expect me to unravel this corpse poison, I pondered for a long time before I realized that this is not an ordinary corpse poison. The undead man had Gu planted on his body, so the corpse poison taken from his body also had the nature of Gu poison. Once infected, it must either be completely plucked out, or it can only be poisoned and killed. ”

"Earlier, he used his own skills to force drugs, and he can be regarded as capable. It's a pity that he didn't get timely treatment at that time, and the residual poison began to reaccumulate in his body, and finally gathered momentum. This recurrent corpse poison is much more powerful than before, not to mention that he has no internal strength since then. If you hadn't protected his heart, where would he have been lying here and waiting to die? ”

Xue Lan's expression was slightly gloomy, "No, it's not waiting for death, it's waiting for life." ”

The old man shook his head, "Impossible, is there anyone in this world who can save this living dead?" ”

"Absolutely." Xue Lan smiled bitterly, "The person in his heart will definitely come to save him." Zhao Wuwu will definitely save him. ”

"Who is Zhao Wuwu?" The old man was puzzled.

Xue Lan thought about it, what should I say? Who is Zhao Wuwu? Zhao Wuwu is an amazing woman, and she is also an admirable woman. At least in Xue Lan's consciousness, she can't be in charge of the government, and she can't do that kind of planning, and she is indeed inferior to Zhao Wuwu in many things.

With a long exhale, Xue Lan smiled helplessly, "Zhao Wuwu is a very legendary existence, you may not think that such a thin woman can carry a heavy burden on her shoulders." ”

"My old man has lived most of his life, and it's not like he hasn't seen a powerful woman. I think that my little apprentice used to be able to write and fight, but others couldn't compare. The old man looked disdainful.

Xue Lan looked at him and sighed lightly, "You don't understand what she has experienced, and you won't understand how a sick woman survived more than ten years." After losing her husband, how to control the situation and protect herself. She has worn men's clothes all her life, and no one in the civil and military officials knows that she is a daughter, and she has become a member of the imperial court. How many women can do it? ”

"If it weren't for her poor health, how would you know that she couldn't ride a horse? She's smart, really smart! At least of all the people I know, she's the most amazing. I lost to her, and I lost convincingly. ”

The old man tilted his head to look at her, "There is such an amazing woman?" ”

He thought that his little apprentice was already very good, and he almost became an empress, and there was anything more powerful than his own little apprentice in this world? Can't you?

But after thinking about it, her little apprentice is also because of her good background, who let her be born in the emperor's family, so in terms of external conditions, it is naturally not comparable to everyone. Zuo Xue Lan said that the man was weak and could disguise himself as a man to become a member of the imperial court, which aroused his curiosity.

What kind of woman can bear this burden?

"Naturally, there is, or is it unique." Xue Lan smiled, and then looked at Mu Baili on the bed.

Now Mu Baili was lying here motionless, his face was blue-black, like a rotten patina, and people couldn't feel a trace of the breath of a living person. If Zhao Wuwu is here at this moment, I am afraid that he will be cut off.

Xue Lan narrowed her eyes and gently covered her heart, remembering the chaos and the struggle of nine deaths. If it weren't for Lu Guoan's life and death Gu, she would have been reincarnated at this moment, and it would be impossible for her to live in the world anymore.

The old man probably felt bored and left the room in a daze.

"Brother Ran Heng, you must hold on, I have already sent the news out, presumably they are also looking for you." Xue Lan held Mu Baili's cold hand, "You must hold on, so as not to disappoint Lu Guoan's hard work." ”

The candlelight flickered, and the wind and sand whistled outside, sweeping everything in heaven and earth.

Xue Lan walked out of Mu Baili's room and carefully closed the door. She stood silently in the doorway for a long time, and then gently touched her heart. A heart is still beating, and many things have been relieved.

Walking in the corridor, hearing the whistling sound of the wind and sand outside, she thought that she would probably never meet someone who loved her more than Wang Shaojun. Anything can be done all over again, but only once you die.

Lu Guoan said that Wang Shaojun never hesitated.

There is a little pain in my heart, and it is uncomfortable to hold and make people breathless.

He still had to smile on his face, he still had to smile, he longed to see her laugh when he was alive, but she had been stingy. Now she wanted to laugh at him, but she never had a chance again.

"So you deserve it!" She sat in the room and said in a low voice, "I don't know how to cherish what I gain, but I will always miss what I lose." ”

A sigh is too late to regret after all.

In this dimly lit world, the wind and sand invade, but there are also relatively calm places, such as this basement.

The lame guy walked in front of the old man with a lantern, "Master, didn't you say that the corpse poison on this living dead is incurable?" What are we still doing here? Wouldn't it be good if you keep it rotten? Such a monster is panicked when he looks at it. ”

The old man didn't think so, "I just think it's strange, this person has no pulse but has a heartbeat, what kind of Gu is so powerful?" I've never seen anything so weird in my life, and I really want to find out. ”

"But this dead thing can't open his mouth, what else can Master do? A lot of meat has been taken from this body, and the master still hasn't made anything? The guy muttered.

The old man was unhappy, "If you don't want to go, don't go, what nonsense!" With that, he grabbed the lantern and went into the basement by himself.

The guy sighed lightly and followed helplessly.

In the gloomy world, with an eerie coldness, there are people lying in the dark, living with the darkness all day long. He's been trapped here for a long, long time, and although he has saved his life, it hurts him more than death.

Tied to a plank bed, waiting for it to decay.

In fact, he hadn't soaked in embalming in a long time, and now the house was full of rancid smells. He was used to the smell, but he didn't see the last rays of sunlight before he died, and he seemed a little unwilling.

A light came into his sight, and he knew it was the crazy old man coming.

The flesh on his legs had been cut off a lot by the crazy old man, and now he was white and rugged, and he looked particularly terrible. The old man probably wanted to unravel the corpse poison on Mu Baili's body, so he came back to test him, thinking about getting the antidote.

It's a pity, the corpse poison on his body is no longer a simple corpse poison, it is mixed with the ghostly Gu poison, and no one can solve it.

"What do you want to do this time?" Jian Yan asked.

The crazy old man put the lantern aside and looked at Jian Yan who was bruised on the bed, "You said that you are a living dead with so much nonsense, I came here to talk to you, you are not grateful to me, but here you are rambling, no wonder you can't be a living person but a living dead." I'm sick of looking at you, let alone someone else! ”

"I'm afraid the person who made you look like this is not at ease. If it were me, if I were really good for you, I wouldn't let you toss like this with a breath of air. Watching yourself gradually become corrupt and gradually rotten into this appearance, don't you feel good? You don't feel pain, but don't you feel disgusted when you look at yourself? ”

After a pause, the crazy old man laughed again, "I bet you haven't looked in the mirror, and you don't dare to look in the mirror." ”

In the decaying world, Jian Yan lay without saying a word. Mirror? The way he is now, he must be terrifying. What kind of horror picture should it be when the flesh is out?

Not to mention others, even I guess I have to be scared to death.

"If you tell me what kind of Gu you have, and then who gave it to you, I might be able to let you go." The old man grinned.

Jian Yan sneered twice, "The most unbelievable thing in this world is the mouth of a living person. The dead do not deceive, but the living are liars. ”

"So you admit you're a dead man?" The old man was a little pleased, "Will you tell me?" ”

"I won't tell you, even if I die here, I won't tell you, let alone let you save Mu Baili." Jian Yan closed his eyes.

"Mubari?" The old man paused, "It's the first time I've known his name from your mouth, Mu Baili?" You're not from Daqi, are you? Looking at your clothes at that time, it seems that you are from Daye, are you from Daye? ”

Jian Yan didn't speak, he didn't want to reveal any information, he wanted to die here with Mu Baili. Otherwise, once the news spreads, he is worried that Zhao Wuwu will find him, and when he sees Zhao Wuwu sacrificing himself for Mu Baili before he becomes corrupt, Jian Yan feels that he can't stand it.

The old man touched his chin, "This name is quite nice, and the face is also very good." Seeing that Jian Yan still didn't mean to speak, the old man got up helplessly, "That's it, I'll come back in two days, if you think you want to say it, just tell me, and I will definitely keep my promise to let you go." ”

Seeing his master come out, the lame guy hurriedly caught up, "Master, did he say it?" ”

"I didn't say anything about Gu poison, but I mentioned a name. I seem to have some impression of the name, but I can't remember it for a while. The old man muttered to himself, "Where have you heard of it?" ”

This name is very familiar, if you really have heard it, it should be heard in the palace during the existence of the Great Yin Dynasty in those years! If you really heard such an ear in the palace, then this person should also be from the court, and it is not very clear which court it is.

"I'll go to Nanfu Town tomorrow, and you should stay at home." The old man is rarely serious.

The guy frowned, "Master really wants to take care of this idle business?" Our identities should not come forward too much, after all, when this, this person came, he could see that he was chased and killed all the way here, shouldn't he be a court criminal? Let's escape from the world here, don't we just want to hide? ”

"You know!" The old man scolded and walked forward, "If I don't figure out some things, I won't be at ease in my life." You really think I'm hiding here because I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but I'm too lazy to mingle with those people! But right now, this person is under my nose, I don't even know who he is, I still avoid the world of fart, and sooner or later I will die in the nest. ”

The man said, "Then Master can go and ask Miss Xuelan." ”

"That girl is willing to say, will she wait until now?" The old man sighed lightly, "It's decided, I'll go out tomorrow when I look home." ”

"Yes!" Dude's jaw.

The wind and sand blew all night, and the next day it was a wonderful sunny day.

The old man picked up and went out early in the morning.

Yesterday the people were long gone, except for a few camels still walking outside, with their burdens still tied to them. couldn't help but sigh lightly, although it was a sin, but it was also self-inflicted.

People should always pay the price for their good and evil.

It was some distance from Nanfu Town, and it was impossible to find out the news when he went to Yueshi, so the old man had to prepare plenty of water and dry food to go. The weather in the desert is changing, so he can't delay halfway.

Fortunately, I'm used to it, so it doesn't hurt to go to Nanfu Town. After all, it is the border of Daqi, so it is always familiar. I heard that there was also turmoil within Daqi, and he didn't bother to ask about the specifics, anyway, Daqi's affairs had nothing to do with him.
