Xilin is thousands of miles away from the imperial city, and more than a dozen guards behind the Ming Palace's palace escorted two carriages out of the moon. Xilin said that it was wild, the conditions were harsh, the way was unattended, the wind was howling, and the sand and stones were everywhere. This time when he left the city, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, everything was simple, Zhou Yanzhi protected Ye Yanxing, and the group walked slowly, and it took two months to reach Wulu County on the edge of Puya.

Late autumn and winter solstice, the thin steam that falls at night condenses in the grass, wets the satin shoes on the edge of the clothes when it passes, and it is uncomfortable to fall into the socks, the sky will snow, and the things that stay overnight are not okay, Jiang'er downstairs looks for the small guys in the store to help move the big things on the car into the house.

The red light coat that Zhou Yanzhi took out was draped on Ye Yanxing's body, and the red was warm, and the pale face was a little gorgeous.

"How can it be so cold?"

"It's cold, it's the winter solstice, and it's going to snow on this day." He pulled out his hands from the warmth of his sleeves and leaned straight towards Zhou Yanzhi's neck, sighing so warmly in his heart.

King Ming has practiced martial arts since he was a child, this kind of behavior is a threat in his opinion, if others have already been slapped by him, looking at the person in front of him comfortably squinted, even if the neck is full of coldness, he also likes it tightly, "It will always snow later tonight, the road is dangerous, the snow will stop and travel for a few days is the Western Wilderness, your body really worries me." ”

"I knew that you hesitated that day, not because I was afraid that I would not come with you, but because I couldn't stand this difficult environment." Hooked him forward and leaned into his arms, "I'm fine." ”

A pair of warm hands reached into the clothes and covered the slightly cool skin, and a low magnetic voice came from his ears, saying: "I have been in a hurry on the road for several months, and I am idle today, have you ever thought about what to solve this boredom?" ”

Ye Yanxing buried his head in his chest, trembling with laughter, looking for some things and making so many excuses, "No, it won't be successful, you haven't been fierce for a few months, and I'm not afraid that the seeds will fall when the time comes, and I'll give you a little Yanzhi to play." ”

Zhou Yanzhi didn't despise the ridicule of the person in his arms, the two of them were both men, so they didn't think about the heir, but they just needed him to feel at ease and caress his waist, "Wouldn't it be better if it was like this, I can't ask for it, and my husband will be careful in the future." ”

"Don't don't, don't take the jokes to heart." Ye Yanxing felt a little itchy, and stretched out his hand to push it.

Zhou Yanzhi took him to the bed, wrapped the person in the quilt and touched the exposed head, his fingers slowly scratched the corners of his mouth, rubbing his soft lips, and his slightly white lips flushed with redness, "I haven't relieved for a few months, and your body is tired of traveling and traveling, and you can't stand me, use it here this time, it's also a good taste here." ”

Ye Yanxing blinked, looked at Zhou Yanzhi, who had forbearance on his face, obediently lowered his head, chased after the hot and teased, and was short of breath. The two were in love, and they didn't delay when they felt full, and after cleaning up, they leaned together and took a nap.

"The shopkeeper, leave these things to me, and we will serve the master." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to stop the innkeeper and the little guy with the food.

"Guest officer, don't pay attention to this thing, but it's going to hurt, let's come."

Jiang Er smiled lightly, motioned to the guards behind him to take the clay pot, and stuffed the gold leaf in his hand into the hands of the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper should be a reasonable person." ”

"Yes, yes, where did the guest officer say, please, ouch, it's a small eyeless person who has no eyes and a few people who have art in their bodies, they should be beaten." As he spoke, he clenched his palms and retreated happily, standing behind the counter playing with the delicate gold leaf, smiling from ear to ear.

A thin little guy sat bored in the hall, looking at the light yellow lantern upstairs, "I finally begged for an errand to deliver food, and I just wanted to see the beauty in the room, alas, there is no chance now." It's a pity that I didn't stay in the church last night, and listening to you say that you are so beautiful, it really makes people's hearts itch. ”

"Really, I was on duty last night, they came late to the store, and the two faceless ones in the room were especially beautiful, and the one who was holding him was pale and slender, and he could see people..."

"Don't talk here, take care of your hands, feet and eyes, what is your identity as a nobleman? Can you get the edge? Is it worthy? Thinking about those useless, nonsense and work, seeing that there is no gold leaf, it is our blessing to serve well. The shopkeeper carefully wiped the gold leaf and carefully put it in his arms.

"I've never seen a meal like this, it's interesting to look at, and it's fragrant to smell. It's a good time to eat warm food when it's cold. Ye Yanxing couldn't help but get excited when he looked at the novel crockpot in front of him, the jar rested on the red charcoal, and the tumbling soup was sliced with meat and vegetables, and he couldn't help but look at it. Sit, sit, the prince invites everyone to eat these different delicacies. ”

Jiang Er and the guards took a few steps back, "The minions have already been arranged downstairs, just go down and eat, and the prince will use it slowly." ”

"Sit and sit, bring things up, get together, this thing is like the hot pot of the imperial city, it's interesting for everyone to eat together." The more he talked, the more he felt that this was the truth, and he opened his mouth to greet him, "Jiang Er sits, and Bai Ying sits too." ”

Bai Sakura knelt on the ground, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Yanzhi, shall we go downstairs? How many months will it land, don't get bored in the house, okay? ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the cold."

"Isn't there this, have a drink, it will definitely be warm after eating and drinking."

The group sat in the hall, the clay pot in front of them was churning, and the vegetables and meat pieces were even more delicious when the soup was full. Jiang Er has always been Ye Yanxing's favorite, and it is not the first time that she has served the table, she keeps eating the food that the master has added to herself, eating with a greasy mouth, and vaguely boasting about the deliciousness. Several guards sat upright, the dishes and chopsticks were neatly arranged, and they all stared at King Ming with a restrained expression.

Seeing their serious appearances, Ye Yanxing smiled and said, "Why don't you eat it?" Are you waiting for the prince to pick up vegetables for you? ”

Everyone was so nervous that they couldn't do it, and their hearts were bitter, so Childe didn't laugh anymore, and quickly shook his head.

"What are you doing? Eat. King Ming snorted coldly and ordered, and several people stiffened and raised their chopsticks to eat.

Ye Yanxing looked at the guards who were not relaxed after eating, and reluctantly kicked Zhou Yanyi under the table, and sandwiched a piece of fat and thin meat for him, so that he could smile more.

A few small servants gathered around the side, either pretending to serve or carrying things in their hands far away, only staring at Ye Yanxing in their eyes, their eyes were naked and presumptuous, and they didn't think much about what was going on in their minds.

Zhou Yanzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at Bai Sakura unintentionally when he welcomed the cup of twisted vegetables, and Bai Sakura nodded immediately. Looking at his gaze without any scruples, not to mention that the prince is uncomfortable, even the attendants feel unbearable.

Before dawn, Jiang Er and the guards got up to clean up, and Zhou Yanzhi boarded the carriage with the sleeping Ye Yanxing in his arms and slowly drove away from Wulu.

The horse's hooves behind the car were urgent, King Ming was silent, and Bai Ying leaned against the curtain of the car, "Lord Wang, it's done." ”

The most luxurious inn in Wulu County burned in the daytime, except for the shopkeeper who went out to collect accounts, none of them lived, and the autopsy found that the little guys in the inn were all burned after they died, and several of them were gouged out of their eyes. The undead shopkeeper was found lying in a pool of blood, and after waking up, he lost his senses, and the whole person became stupid, and the accounts recovered at hand were gone.

All the way west, rushed to Puya, the defensive station of the Great Zhou on the Xilin border. Puya is adjacent to many countries, and trade is frequent, and most of the people who live here are people from other countries who migrate here for business, but they are only resident with heavy troops, which can be regarded as peaceful.

Hundreds of miles away is the barren country and some surrounding small countries, the barren country is not good at raising the country's martial arts, from time to time in the border to try to harass the nomadic Zhou people, the officers and soldiers stationed here have received the complaints of the herdsmen, the barren country soldiers will be brave and good at fighting and grow here, occupy the day when sitting on the favorable location and be good at fighting, often call the Zhou soldiers to suffer.

After a few days, I arrived at Jinzhou County for supplies, which was already remote, the houses were all dilapidated, the wind swept the loess and blew the sand and stones, and the pedestrians on the road were sparse and veiled to cover their faces. After looking for a home and looking at the inn with some style, he took a break and set off again.

In the distance, the large oasis seemed out of place with the surroundings, and in front of a dilapidated temple on the side, a small monk sitting guarding the door couldn't help but doze off.

The two carriages in front of him passed by, and he quickly woke up, got up and shouted, "Don't go any further, don't go any further, it's not a place to walk through." ”

No one paid attention to him, so he ran to the front of the car and stopped the team, "Didn't the donor hear the little monk's obstruction, you can't go ahead." ”

"Why did it stop?"

Bai Sakura turned the horse's head and leaned over the side of the car, "Lord Wang, a little master blocked the way, saying that you can't pass ahead." ”

"Oh? Ask what's going on. ”

Bai Sakura dismounted and walked over to the little monk and squatted down, "Dare to ask why the master can't walk through?" ”

"The little monk knew that it was not a character from our place when he looked at a few people, and this oasis was indeed the fastest way to go to Puya."

"Then why can't you go? Where do you go if you don't go from here? ”

"Donor, there are monsters in the forest a few years ago, specifically to confuse passers-by, and it is for this reason that the near continent has lost its former prosperity and become so decadent."

"So what?"

"Look at the mountain, if there is green smoke wafting, it will be impassable, so the master asked me to stay here early in the morning to prevent someone from entering by mistake and losing his life."

Seeing that he was sincere, Bai Ying turned around to report, went into the temple and threw a few sesame oil money, turned over on the horse, and the group entered the oasis.

Seeing that they didn't listen to the dissuasion, the little monk remembered that his eyes were red, but he lost more than a dozen lives at once, and he desperately shouted to dissuade him in the back, Bai Sakura couldn't bear it, and secretly urged the horse to go quickly.

"Kiyoyuki, why are you crying here?"

"Master, woo woo, a team of people just went in, more than a dozen people, they don't listen to me." Seeing his master throw himself into his arms, he couldn't stop sobbing.

The old monk squinted his eyes and looked at the direction where everyone left, and touched the little apprentice's head, "Qingzhi is fine, there is a little fairy energy between the powerful and powerful, when you are a person who is blessed by God, don't worry, go back with the master." ”

The wind was howling.

The oasis is so big, the vegetation is dense and the trees cover the eyes, and the uncared for signs can only be seen after a long time, and it is difficult to identify the direction, so you can only stop and go.

The people and horses were tired, stopped to rest, led the horses to find a water source, Ye Yanxing got off the horse and fetched the fodder for the horse, caressing the horse's smooth horseback, "Yanzhi, the guards seem to have been away for too long." ”

Zhou Yanzhi looked at Bai Ying, who was close to Ye Yanxing's side, holding the hilt of the sword, vigilant around.

There were bursts of dark whistles in the forest, and the sound was urgent, and Zhou Yanzhi urged Ye Yanxing to get on the horse and gallop away by himself.

The horse suddenly became agitated, and shook the horse's hooves restlessly, and a terrible beast roared and came, and the horse ran in fright and did not know the direction, and the master and servant in the car were shaken by the rapid shaking and dizzy. Shirakura hurriedly grabbed the edge of the carriage, and was shaken by the galloping carriage, hitting the trees from time to time.

"Childe? Son? Jiang Er got up in the utility room and was busy looking for his son-in-law.

"I'm outside."

Jiang Er lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and saw Bai Sakura lying on the side, the white cloth wrapped around her forehead soaked with blood.

"Childe is alright?"

"I'm fine, you're guarding the white cherry blossoms." Ye Yanxing looked at the place where the green smoke came out in the distance, and said softly: "Alas, what the little master said still has some truth, and he really shouldn't go through this place today." ”

"The subordinates have nothing to do, so I will drive my son to find the prince." Shirakura struggled to sit up, blood dripping onto her clothes with her movements.

"Lying down, things are sudden, it's just the three of us now, you should take care of yourself."

Jiang Er looked around, and it was indeed only the three of them, "Childe, did you hear that?" ”

Shirakura listened quietly, and all she heard was something hurrying through the mountains and forests approaching them, and it was a big move, a behemoth.

A giant beast suddenly jumped in front of them, rolled up dust on the ground and pounced on a few people, staring at the few people in front of them with bronze tripod-like tiger eyes, sharp claws and fangs, opening its mouth and howling angrily, and the beast's roar pierced through the forest, deafening.

"Old... Tiger. Jiang Er was so frightened that she sat on the ground.

"Humans, it's good, no creature has been in this oasis for a few days, but I'm hungry, and it's cold, so it's beautiful to find a warm place to sleep after eating." The giant tiger opened his mouth and said, it's a monster.

Bai Ying has followed the prince for many years and has seen countless strange things, but she has never experienced such a scene today, and she forgot what to do for a while.

"Hu'er, you will go through the heavenly tribulation or don't add more killing, otherwise when the heavenly official will judge, you will not be able to carry it casually if you eat the heavenly thunder."

"What are you that can cut the damnation of heaven?" The giant tiger's eyes shrank, and he seemed to have a sense recently, but now that he was pointed out, he was a little withdrawn, and after perceiving it carefully, he couldn't help but smile secretly, "Seeing that your breath is weak, you must have lost Dan Yuan, so delicious to replenish your body, what is the catastrophe." ”

Bai Ying and Jiang Er were stunned when they heard on the side, what was this person and a tiger talking about?

"So, Hu'er doesn't flinch and eats me? It's not easy to see that your cultivation has reached this point, which is really a pity. ”

"Hahaha, so arrogant, I won't kill you directly later, and when I eat you, I want you to wake up and feel the pain of being devoured." As he spoke, he arched his body and made an offensive stance.

Ye Yanxing took a few steps forward, bathed in the sunlight sprinkled through the forest and turned into its original form, and the white and agile white ball sat on the ground and looked at the giant tiger.

Jiang Er watched his son turn into a little white fox as high as a person's knee, his eyes turned back and forth between the giant tiger and the white fox, pinching Bai Ying's arm and becoming nervous, thinking that Gongzi was too small, and Gongzi was too small to be eaten. Just the moment the giant tiger pounced on the white fox and fainted, Bai Sakura sat on the ground with Jiang'er in her arms, glancing away and unwilling to look.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Yanxing turning into a human form and stroking the head of the giant tiger, and hurriedly pinched Jiang Errenzhong, the two looked at the eyes, still afraid in their hearts, but even more puzzled.

After a while, the giant tiger got up and left.

Ye Yanxing turned to look at the frightened two, and he didn't know how to speak, so he could only stand quietly.

The sunlight hit him, and the whole person was thin as if he was about to disappear, Jiang Er threw himself at his feet, "Childe, don't go, even if you are a monster, you are a good monster, you have never harmed us, I am not afraid of you." ”

"Childe saved my two lives today, and he has never hurt the prince, I will not mention this matter to others, please rest assured."

Ye Yanxing couldn't help laughing, "What about the prince? ”

"I won't say it, the son's feelings for the prince are so deep that he will definitely not harm the prince." Jiang Er said and stepped on Bai Ying's foot.

"Yes, no one will say."

Ye Yanxing looked at the two people who showed their attitude, they just didn't say anything, and when they fainted, they didn't know anything, and they also regarded the dignified Tianhu Jun as a monster.

"Let's go, now my identity is exposed, and I'll be able to find them soon." Ye Yanxing got into the carriage with a smile, not to argue, monsters are monsters, anyway, they are almost the same for mortals.

The forest was lush, the carriage was circling, Ye Yanxing lifted the curtain, and his face was full of smiles, "It's ahead." ”

Bai Sakura followed the instructions to speed up the car, and saw King Ming and the other guards from a distance, who quickly waved in response when they heard the movement.

The carriage slowed down and did not stop, Ye Yanxing jumped out of the car and threw himself into Zhou Yanzhi's arms, holding him tightly and not letting go.

Zhou Yanzhi hugged the lost and recovered treasure, buried his head in his neck and smelled the familiar aroma, he is not a person who believes in heaven and God, but at this moment he is extremely convinced that this is the destiny of heaven, so that he can find Ye Yanxing so quickly. Just now, the tiger roared in the mountains and forests, and my heart was beating for fear of being lost, and it was great to see that he was unharmed.

In the panic just now, the horses fled in all directions, so that the carriage was damaged a lot, and they could only travel, and they passed this obscured oasis all day and night, and heard the roar of tigers in the forest in the distance.

In front of the gate of Puya City, Jiang Youyi looked at the embarrassed King Ming and the people in front of him, and hurriedly said: "I've been tired all the way, prepare food and hot water in the camp, let's go quickly." ”

Jiang Youyi, as a military advisor, was familiar with Bai Ying, who had followed King Ming for many years, and asked in some surprise: "How can you be so embarrassed?" ”

"There was some trouble making it through the oasis, but luckily everyone was fine."

"The prince has the blessing of the gods, and after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for the prince." Tilted his head to look at Ye Yanxing, "Childe is also here, this is polite." ”

Ye Yanxing leaned on Zhou Yanzhi and smiled lightly, and it took a lot of yuan power to guide the giant tiger, but fortunately, he was taken care of all the way, and now his spirit is not very bad.

"Strategist, is there really a monster in the world?"

Jiang Youyi looked at him, "What's the matter, have you ever seen it?" ”

"Huh? Sir I don't know? The oasis of Puya in Jinzhou Prefecture lives youkai. ”

"What nonsense, I walked through the forest a month ago, but I haven't seen any monsters. Did you see it? ”

"Never, never." Bai Ying shook her head, "It's also what the little monk said, I also believe in a child, really, how can there be monsters in the world." After saying that, he bowed his head and groomed the horse.

I didn't see the coldness in Jiang Youyi's eyes beside him, how could he not know, that is, he would deliberately arrange for King Ming to take that shortcut, I didn't think that this monster had some ability, and thought that he could only protect him and King Ming from escaping, and now there is no one less, and he has to reassess the ability of this demon.

The military camp was stationed five miles away from Puya, which was convenient for suppressing the incident in the city, with 100,000 troops stationed under the command of the military division Jiang Youyi, and another 15 miles away was the 200,000 troops led by General Zhenyuan to deter the border and protect the border people. Zhou Yanzhi has been honing in the barracks since he was a child, and some of the officers and soldiers in the camp know him, and they kneel down and salute without introduction.
