I sat next to Ma Yu, put my arm around her shoulder, and patted her gently, "You're also seeing blood for the first time, right?" ”

Ma Yu turned his head and looked at me suspiciously: "Senior, do you think I'm not a girl?" ”

“…… Yes," I glanced at her, you know, and continued to comfort, "War is so cruel, there are not many people who died today, the last time I fought in White Horse City, nearly 30,000 people were killed on both sides, the reason why we think that war is very far away is just because it has been peaceful for too long, so it's good to get used to it." ”

"Senior, let me ask you a question." Ma Yu puffed up his chest and smiled slightly.

"Hmm."

"It's a question I've never figured out. I like military affairs and am very interested in war, but I have never understood what the purpose of war is. Is it human greed, or the willpower of power, or is it an extension of profit? ”

I took the cigarette back from her, the girl's house, what kind of cigarette she smoked.

"Huh?" Ma Yu urged me, "Senior, what do you think of this problem?" ”

"The purpose of war...... I muttered for a moment, "maybe, for peace." ”

"Peace?" Ma Yu frowned, "Peace is war, isn't it the opposite?" ”

"But the end result of every war is peace." I laughed.

Ma Yu muttered these two words, thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, hugged my neck, and kissed my face: "Thank you seniors for solving the problems that have plagued me for more than ten years!" ”

"Well, I hope you can return peace to the demon world." I said earnestly, this is also the purpose of bringing Ma Yu to the demon world.

"This burden is a bit heavy, isn't it?" Ma Yu smiled bitterly.

"You can afford it, believe me, this war is estimated to be very long, three years, five years, ten years, or even twenty years, there is no so-called justice and evil in the war, the victor, that is, the righteous one, I hope, Xiaoyu, you can become the last righteous one."

Ma Yu nodded heavily: "Senior, I understand what you mean, people have to live meaningfully, maybe my meaning is to stay here and eliminate war with war." I swear, if I don't unify the demon world, I, Ma Yu, will never go back! ”

“…… It's not that you don't go back all the time, you can go back and see me...... Well, we. I frowned, I was a little reluctant to keep throwing her here.

Ma Yu guessed my thoughts, pursed his lips and snickered: "Senior, do you still have few confidants?" ”

I smiled awkwardly and said nothing, patted her cheek, stood up, and looked out of the city, the fire on the grassland was still spreading, and it was possible to burn the woods over there, and it was estimated that it would have to wait for heavy rain to be extinguished, and the vegetation in the demon world was very extensive, so there was no need to worry about losing these green spaces.

The Qinglong light cavalry in the distance has retreated and disappeared, and the bandit demons are cleaning up the battlefield, mainly to get those war horses that have not been hacked to death into the cottage, and they can be used for long-distance migration.

Ma Yu also got up and stood side by side with me, silent for a while, she said faintly: "Senior, I thought about it carefully, I am afraid that there will be any danger if I stay here and fall into the hands of the enemy, so please take my most precious thing and keep it." ”

"What's that?" I asked, is it a family heirloom or something, could it be a jade pendant again?

Ma Yu lowered his head, pinched his fingers, and whispered: "Senior thinks, what is the most precious thing for a girl?" ”

"Life, of course." I answered without hesitation.

"Oops," Ma Yu frowned and stomped his foot, "I won't tell you." ”

Ma Yu went out of town, and the lynx slipped out of nowhere and grinned at me.

"You're smiling, huh?" I asked.

"Even I heard it, but the master didn't hear it?" The lynx asked, squinting.

"Hear a yarn!" I frowned, "When the hell are you going to change back?" ”

The lynx grimaced at me and ran away.

Actually, I regret a little bit that I brought the lynx to the demon world, she is my mount, very important, especially in the demon world, the territory is wide, there are no cars, planes, no mounts, it is difficult to move an inch, but after she becomes a human, she can't change back to the form of the beast clan, she can only act as a thug, and she can't beat me, so what's the use of me asking her, warm the bed?

Alas......

All the bandits were busy, so I stood guard for them on the gate tower to prevent the Blue Dragon Army of the Imperial City from attacking again, and after standing for more than an hour, the lynx ran back from the small square and told me that the bandits were ready to go at any time.

There is a group of bandits on the city gate tower, at the battlement, placed some scarecrows, all wearing the clothes of the bandits, the face is wrapped in animal skin, and the nose and eyes are drawn, at first glance, like a real person, it must be Ma Yu's delaying tactics, to prevent the scouts who may be sent out from the imperial city to know that the bandits have retreated from the back mountain, the scouts see that there are people on the city gate tower, it is estimated that they will not approach to reconnoitre.

We can't go with them, we have already agreed with the banshee leader before, because the direction is opposite, the Xuanwu Kingdom is in the north, and the Jade Void Palace is in the south.

After the bandits and demons gathered near the small square, I asked one of my soldiers to find a pen and paper, wrote a letter of introduction to General Weichi Nimabi, handed it to the banshee Chen Yang, and shook hands with her: "King, there will be a period later." ”

"Well, there will be a date later." The banshee Chen Yang shook hands with me, gave an order to all the bandits in demon language, and bowed to us in unison to express our gratitude, if it were not for us (mainly Ma Yu), they would have been wiped out in the battle during the day.

Banshee Chen Yang shook hands with Ma Yu again, expressing regret that he couldn't walk with him, Ma Yu followed Zhuge Kongming's example, gave the banshee Chen Yang three tips, let her come to the edge of the Qingqing grassland, open the first one, if there is a chasing soldier, and then open the second one, to the border of Qinglong and Xuanwu, if you meet the border army, open the third, just follow the tips, you will be able to clear the customs safely.

Banshee Chen Yang gave us three horses, and gave us three sets of cavalry costumes of the Blue Dragon Army, all of which were captured, after all, this place is too close to the imperial city, and the enemy army has seen us, if we don't disguise it, it is easy to be intercepted and killed on the road.

I haven't forgotten the little beauty Li Na, but she doesn't know martial arts, this time she went to the Yuxu Palace, and she died for a lifetime, so I decided not to take her, let Li Na follow Chen Yang's army first, and when the task is completed, Ma Yu will go to Xuanwu and the bandits to converge, and then send Li Na back to the Yang Realm.

At the end of the farewell ceremony, we rode our horses and watched the bandits go north out of the back gate of Heifeng Village and enter the vast Cuiping Mountain.

"Hey," Ma Yu sighed, "how does it feel like a dream?" ”

"Don't dream, before dawn, let's go quickly, it's safer to go to that woods than here." I said, the three of them turned their horses back to the gate of the Black Wind Village, and found that the wind direction had reversed, and the fire that had been going towards the forest had returned, and there was nothing to burn, so it gradually went out on the grassland.

Descending the hill, the horse's hooves stepped on the moonlight, skirted the grassland ash area, and ran into the woods to the south, although there was no end in sight, but it was said that it was only ten miles away from the imperial city, and it was estimated that it would soon be able to pass through.

But after walking for nearly twenty minutes, the black forest in front of me still looks like no edge can be seen.

"Isn't it going in the wrong direction?" Ma Yu frowned, there was no compass, and there was no obvious road on the ground, and at night, he could only move forward by feeling.

"Fourteen, you climb a tree and have a look." I said to the lynx.

"Okay." The lynx dismounted, picked a tall tree, took off his shoes, used his hands and feet, climbed up the treetops cleanly, looked in all directions, and in a short time came down.

"How?" I asked.

"Master, I can't see anything, we may go farther and farther, or go back the way we came?" Lynx suggested.

With the green light in the lynx's eyes, I looked at my watch, and it was already two o'clock in the morning, and I said, "Forget it, you may go further back and spend the night here, and when the sun comes out, you will be able to discern the direction." ”

"It's pitch black, how can you spend the night, what if there are wild beasts?"

"Hey, young lady, I'm a beast." The lynx bared its teeth and scared Ma Yu, Ma Yu was not afraid, but her horse was startled, jumped up its front hooves, neighed, and almost lifted Ma Yu off.

"Don't make a fuss!" I reprimanded the lynx and said, "Xiao Yu is not very good at riding a horse, and he fell and injured himself, are you responsible?" ”

"Shh The lynx suddenly pressed his index finger to my lips, "Master, listen." ”

"What?" I asked in a whisper.

"Didn't you hear?"

“…… Not. I frowned, although the lynx took on a human form, its hearing range should still be larger than mine.

The lynx ran a few steps to the side, pouted its skin, lay on the ground, peeled off a layer of dead leaves on the ground, and pressed its ears to the ground.

It is often played like this in movies, usually when encountering cavalry, because the sound conductivity of the ground (solid) is much stronger than that of air, if a large group of cavalry approaches, it cannot be heard when standing, and it can be heard when lying on its stomach.

"Is it the Green Dragoon?" I asked.

The lynx got up and shook his head: "It's not like the sound of horses' hooves, it's like ...... Wolves? ”

"Wolves, wolves!" Ma Yu was scared this time, "What should I do, will it eat us?" ”

"How far away from us, are you coming in our direction?" I was also scared, so I quickly asked the lynx.

"About five hundred meters, but not at us," replied the lynx, "for safety, master, let's go up the tree, for wolves don't climb trees." ”

"Okay." I turned over and dismounted, helped Ma Yu down, let the lynx carry her, climbed the big tree, I followed, the three of them sat on a big branch about seven or eight meters above the ground, it was very safe here, as for the three horses, they could only resign themselves to fate.

It had only been half a minute since I climbed the tree, and I heard a rumbling sound, accompanied by a few low roars.

"Over there." The lynx held out its hand.

I followed the direction of her finger, and saw only a black and oppressive thing in the gap in the woods, running towards us, and I couldn't see what it was, and the three horses under the tree were startled, and they were shouting and spinning in place, and they didn't know what to do.

"Damn, don't let them bark, and call the wolves over," I whispered, "Fourteen, go down and get them away!" ”

"It's too late, master, they've already changed direction and are coming at us." The lynx said coldly.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, the black oppressive beast herd appeared in the field of vision, this time I saw it clearly, it was really a wolf pack, the number is unknown, many, many, you can't see the end of the wolf pack at all, the three wolves in front of you directly pounced on the three poor war horses, and the wolves behind swarmed, surrounding the corpses of the war horses, tearing the skin and flesh, gobbling up, as if they had been hungry for a long time.

The position of the branches is very high, and after I saw the true colors of these wolves, I was no longer afraid, because they were not large, monster-like wolves, they were about the same size as the wolves of the Yang Realm, but their fur looked thicker, and they were coyotes of the Demon Realm.

Ma Yu beside me was scared, her body was trembling all the time, I put my arms around her waist to prevent her from falling, and the lynx was suddenly happy.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked in a low voice.

"It's like a bunch of huskies."

“…… Shut up and don't let them find out. I said.

"I found out a long time ago, didn't you see that it was staring at us?" The lynx stretched out his hand and pointed behind the wolves, only to see a wolf squatting on a small dirt bag, with eyes like torches, looking at me coldly, it was much larger than other wolves, and it was probably the leader of this pack, commonly known as the head wolf.

I habitually open my yin and yang eyes, and oops, I'm still a blue wolf, with a high level.

The lynx beckoned at it, and the wolf snorted and stopped looking at us, as if he had no interest in us.

Under the tree, the three horses were quickly eaten, only a few scattered horse bones remained, the head of the wolf raised his head, and after a long whin, the wolves pulled out, turned around, and ...... I don't know where to go.

The wolves were gone, but the head wolf did not, and he came down from the dirt bag and paced slowly to the bottom of the tree.

"What does it mean?" I asked the lynx.

"I don't know, I'll go down and ask." After speaking, the lynx slid down the trunk of the tree, five meters away from the wolf, and looked at each other.

"Sorry for eating your mount."

"Mom!" Ma Yu was taken aback, "It, how can it speak?" ”

The head wolf raised his head, glanced at us, and then looked at the lynx: "Brothers, you are too tired from running for a long time, please forgive me." ”

Is it a deep female voice, female leader? Shouldn't all wolves be males?

"It's all right," said the lynx, "it's not our horse anyway, just eat it, where are you going?" ”

It is still relatively easy to communicate between carnivores and carnivores, and as soon as they talk, they immediately have a sense of intimacy.

"Go to the Xuanwu Kingdom."

"Why?" Lynx asked.

"The homeland has been destroyed by the war, and we have no choice but to migrate," the head wolf shook his head, "where are you going?" ”

"Uh......" The lynx didn't dare to say the destination without permission, and looked up at me, "Master? ”

"Imperial City." I say.

"Well, have a good trip, and say goodbye."

"Wait," I called out to the wolf, "you're from the Sun Realm, aren't you?" ”

"How would the gentleman know?" The head wolf was polite and called me sir.

"Hehe, it's nothing," I said with a smile, the wolf of the demon world, it is unlikely that such a high complexion level, "I have a reluctant request below, and I hope to agree." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"When you go to Xuanwu Kingdom, do you have to pass through the green grassland?" I asked.

"That's right." The head wolf said.

"If you come across a gang of people dressed as bandits, don't hurt them, they're my friends." I said, according to the speed of the wolves, it is estimated that before dawn, they will catch up with the bandits, and I have roughly counted them just now, this group of wolves, at least three or five thousand, in case of a conflict between the two sides, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Sir, rest assured, we won't eat people easily."

I nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Farewell!" The head wolf turned around and ran from walk to chase his own wolf pack.

The lynx returned to the tree and came down with Ma Yu on its back, and there was a smell of blood on the ground.

The horses were gone, so I had to spend the night here, and since there were wolves and other beasts, I told the lynx to find a safe place.

Five minutes later, the lynx came back and said that it had found a large tree with a hole in it, very high and absolutely safe.

The three of them went over and climbed up to the tree hole that the lynx said, it was indeed very high from the ground, nearly ten meters, and it felt like a nest abandoned by some large bird, with some soft feathers in it, and hay underneath, but the area of the hole was not large, and only two people could lie in it.

"You two sleep, I'll stand guard." I say.

"Don't, master, you're all tired all day, I'm not sleepy, you two go into the cave room, I'll go around casually and don't disturb you." The lynx grinned and pushed Ma Yu and me into the cave and ran away.

Ma Yu smiled at me: "Senior, this is the second time we have slept in the same bed, right?" ”
