After Guo Zixing left the prison, Zhu Chongba, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun put the blue jade into a long pocket and carried it out with a horse.

After Xu Da instructed Chu Liuyan, Chu Liuyan went to change into men's clothes, dressed up as an ordinary soldier, followed Xu Da and the three of them, and transported Lan Yu out of the barracks together.

Out of Bozhou City, the four of them walked along the path for more than an hour, and walked to an inaccessible City God Temple before stopping. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun carried the blue jade down, and everyone entered the City God Temple together. The temple is in tatters, covered with cobwebs, most of the red paint on the pillars has peeled off, and the bronze statues of the gods are even more rusty.

Chang Yuchun saw that the city god was staring at him with his eyes open, so he stared at the idol for a while. Xu Da and Zhu Chongba were busy untying Lan Yu's pockets, dragging him out and placing him on the floor. Lan Yu's body was a little cold, but there was still a trace of residual heat in his chest. I put my hand on it and could feel his heart beating as promised.

Zhu Chongba raised his hand, laughed twice, and said: "Fortunately, Guo Zixing's old puppet is not as smart as Lao Tzu, and he doesn't know how to touch his chest with his hand, otherwise how could this blue jade escape this catastrophe." That horse girl is really ruthless, she doesn't care about him when she sees Lan Yu die. ”

Chu Liuyan gently fiddled with his clothes, with a hint of regret in his eyes, and said to Zhu Chongba: "Miss Ma is not ruthless, she is just dead." Sadness is greater than death, people are always blind in front of feelings, if not, how can a person who is as smart as a horse girl, not see that this matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end? ”

Zhu Chongba leaned closer to Chu Liuyan and whispered, "Miss Chu, I quietly asked you something, you and Lan Yu...... Is that really nothing? ”

Chu Liuyan glared at Zhu Chongba, but had to nod.

"Wow, is this kid his grandmother's man, he is not moved by such a beautiful girl, isn't it ......" Zhu Chongba became more and more ugly the more he said, Chu Liuyan said with a straight face: "Zhu Gongzi, please respect yourself." Only then did Zhu Chongba remember that Chu Liuyan was different from his usual brothers, after all, Chu Liuyan was a young girl, he scratched his head and hurriedly apologized to Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan didn't bother with him, but said to Xu Da: "Young Master Xu, it will be dark in a few hours, but Lan Yu will not wake up until tomorrow, how can this be good?" ”

Xu Da seemed to have expected this, he fiddled with the fire that Chang Yuchun had just lit with his hand, and said softly: "Miss Chu, I have to ask for your help, I have been guarding Lanyu here all night." I specially invited Miss Chu to come with us, and I also thought of this. ”

Chu Liuyan had a slight look of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly disappeared and said, "Since that's the case, just listen to Xu Gongzi." ”

"What? Let Miss Chu and Lan Yu stay here for one night? Xu Da, you're not mistaken. Lonely men and widows are in the same room, if this is spread out, how will Miss Chu marry in the future. Zhu Chongba was very dissatisfied with Xu Da's arrangement, when he went to Chu's house for the first time to rob, he also kissed Chu Liuyan, if you want to say kiss, Chu Liuyan should also be closest to him. Now that Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu are actually asked to stay in the City God Temple in the wilderness all night, can Zhu Chongba not be angry.

Xu Da continued to stir the fire to make the flame stronger, and he said, "What's the way to do this?" If the three of us don't make it back before dark, the marshal will be suspicious of us. The marshal has always liked to treat others as his own, and if he thinks that we have other intentions, we will probably end up worse than Lan Yu. Heavy eight, big things are important! The last sentence Xu Da said had a deep meaning, which made Zhu Chongba feel very uncomfortable after hearing it.

Zhu Chongba didn't argue anything, and after everything was arranged, Xu Da and the three of them said goodbye to Chu Liuyan. Xu Da said to Chu Liuyan: "Miss Chu, as soon as Lan Yu wakes up, you will rush back to the barracks, and this horse will be left to you, you should be careful on the road." There is water and dry food in the sack on the horse's back, and if you are hungry, roast it and eat it. ”

Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi Xu for your kindness." Smoke was written down. Go back quickly, for if it's too late, the Generalissimo will suspect that it will not be good. So, the three of them said goodbye, and Chang Yu Chunqian told Chu Liuyan to wait for Lan Yu to wake up, and then inform him that they were cousins.

The night, gradually darkened, and the darkness slowly surged up like a tide, surrounding the entire City God Temple. There was a wind outside, the wind was violent, whining, like an old woman's dry howl, mixed with the strange cries of unknown birds, which made Chu Liuyan feel a little numb when he heard it.

Chu Liuyan looked at Lan Yu who was lying on the ground, and unconsciously felt three thoughts in his heart. She clenched the blue water sword tightly, and looked around vigilantly, lest there be any movement around her. After I don't know how long, Chu Liuyan couldn't support it anymore, so he fell asleep in a daze.

She had just fallen asleep for a short time when she faintly heard human footsteps. At first, she thought it was just a dream, but then the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and it became clearer and clearer, making Chu Liuyan feel that the person was almost in front of her.

"Who is it?" Chu Liuyan stood up. She faintly felt in her heart that something was wrong, who was this person? Could it be that Guo Zixing was suspicious of Xu Da and the others, so he sent someone to kill Lan Yu? Or is it because of something else?

She thought as she moved her gaze to the door.

At the door stood a young man about the same age as Chu Liuyan. Reflecting the firelight, Chu Liuyan saw that the young man was ragged and unkempt, looking like a hungry person or a flower child. The young man's eyes looked straight at the blue water sword in Chu Liuyan's hand, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, all of which were under Chu Liuyan's eyes.
