Xu Han, who came back from Zhong Chang's mansion, pushed open the courtyard door of Xiaoxuan's window.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qiuli, who was wandering outside every day, stayed at home surprisingly honestly today.

This middle-aged man with a sloppy beard was getting drunk alone with a pot of wine.

"Xiao Han, are you back?" Seeing Xu Han push open the courtyard door, Chu Qiuli greeted Xu Han with a flushed face and motioned for him to sit down.

Chu Qiuli's name for Xu Han has always changed again and again, once Xu Gongzi, sometimes Brother Xu, and now it has changed to Xiao Han.

Xu Han was accustomed to this, he shrugged his shoulders and sat down slowly.

Xu Han also drank some wine from time to time when he was a Shura, walking the rivers and lakes, wine is always an indispensable thing, but he rarely drank like Chu Qiuli. After all, he didn't really like the smell of wine.

"Brother, I'm bored and panicked, you accompany me to drink two cups. Chu Qiuli has never been a person who talks about rules, and when Xu Han sat down, he poured a glass of wine for Xu Han with a big grin, raised his glass to Xu Han, and drank it in a big gulp, not caring at all about what the people who accompanied him to drink felt about it.

Xu Han's wine glass was still held in mid-air, and in a blink of an eye, Chu Qiuli was the stomach of the three cups.

Magnanimity. Xu Han said secretly, and then drank the glass of wine in his hand.

said that he asked Xu Han to accompany him to drink, but Chu Qiuli never cared about Xu Han from beginning to end.

Raise the wine glass and shout "It's done!" and then drink it all by himself, but Xu Han didn't even raise the glass...

In a blink of an eye, a jar of wine was drunk by Chu Qiuli.

"Xiaohan, it's not that my brother bragged to you, we stole the Holy Gate back then..."

"Yes, yes, yes. Xu Han nodded again and again, and was about to get up and clean up the stone table full of wine stains, otherwise when Ye Hongjian came back in the evening, he smelled the sky-high wine smell, and estimated that he would lose his temper again.

But at the moment when Xu Han's body stood up, Chu Qiu, who was drunk, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Han.

"Xiao Han," he called out indistinctly.

"You say... Isn't it good for this man to live?"

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned, he had noticed that today's Chu Qiuli was a little different, although he was so drunk when he drank on weekdays, he was smiling, and seemed to enjoy the drinking itself. And today... But it's a little different.

"It's good to be alive. He hesitated slightly, and sat back down at the stone table. "Only by living longer can we see more different landscapes and meet more people..."

This question is also a problem for Xu Han.

It took him sixteen years to keep himself alive, and now he survives, not knowing where to go or what to do.

But in any case, being alive is a very happy thing, and Xu Han firmly believes in it.

"Then why do people have to be sent to death when they can live?" Chu Qiuli asked with drunken eyes.

There was a thick confusion wrapped in his voice, and the question that could confuse a person of his age would certainly not be a simple one.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this question, Xu Han was only slightly stunned, and then gave his own answer.

"More than a year ago, I asked someone else a similar question..."

"He told me that everyone has a mission in this world. ”

"Big or small, good or bad. ”

"As long as you find your own calling, then you can give everything to it, including your life. ”

"Is that thing more important than life?" Chu Qiuli's wine seemed to wake up a little, and he looked at Xu Han in a daze, the light in his eyes becoming more and more confused.

"It should be. Xu Han nodded, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He thought about the Great Abyss Mountain that year.

Thinking of the old man's sword that amazed all beings.

"At least I think it's a blessing to find something for which I can give my life..."

......

Xu Han didn't know why Chu Qiuli suddenly became so confused, and he didn't know if his words would help Chu Qiuli.

But in the afternoon, Chu Qiu, who had woken up a little drunk, sat up from the room and said to Xu Han, who was practicing swordsmanship, for a long time, and Xu Han understood that this big man seemed to have something to leave for a while.

Xu Han deliberately asked him what was the matter and if he needed help, but Chu Qiuli kept silent.

Xu Han thought about it and didn't keep it, but just told him to be careful all the way.

Then Chu Qiuli took his pitiful bag and left Xiaoxuan Window alone.

He walked fast, hurriedly, but determined.

Xu Han was inexplicably a little uneasy.

He had to admit that these days he was used to having such an alcoholic by his side.

So before Chu Qiuli's back completely disappeared, Xu Han opened his mouth and yelled at his back: "Hey, don't die outside, I can't cook!"

Hearing this, the big man turned his head and grinned at Xu Han, "I can't die." As long as the thief does not want to die, he will never die. ”

......

Night.

It's getting dark.

After dinner, Xu Han reviewed the "Sword Technique of Destroying Yue" again, he recited the essentials of the sword technique in his heart silently, and then used it in one go, and wrote down the center and confusion again, preparing to go to Zhong Changhate tomorrow to ask for advice.

Then he put away his sword, washed up, and went into the room, ready to sleep.

He has been sleeping in the same room with Ye Hongjian for nearly a month. The two respected each other like guests, and Xu Han would wait for Ye Hongjian to fall asleep for about half an hour before entering the room every day, leaving enough time for Ye Hongjian to sleep.

Of course, he still slept underground.

But fortunately, Xu Hanfeng is used to sleeping in the open air, and there is no discomfort in the slightest.

He turned off the lamp and covered the futon, and lay down.

But there was the sound of Ye Hongjian turning over.

"Why can't you sleep?" asked Xu Han.

"Hmm. In the darkness, Ye Hongjian's clear voice sounded, and then a pair of black and shining eyes looked over from the boat.

"Is it because of Brother Chu?" Xu Han asked, he could probably guess that Ye Hongjian knew Chu Qiuli before this, and even placing Chu Qiuli next to him was probably the idea of Ye Hongjian or the Tiance Mansion behind her.

Ye Hongjian sat up, her delicate figure wrapped under a thin quilt, she couldn't see clearly, but it made people reverie.

She shook her head. "Although Brother Chu is sometimes a little imaginative, he is also alert, and I am not worried. ”

"Then what is Miss Ye worried about?" Xu Han looked at Ye Hongjian, who had a unique flavor even if he frowned, and couldn't help but tease.

Ye Hongjian glanced at the young man when he heard this, and finally said in a deep voice: "Stegosaurus Guan Mu Ji has always refused to fight, with his ability, and he has a full 200,000 Mu family army, he wants to deal with a Cui Ting, not to mention rubbing more than enough, but he will not be afraid if he thinks about it, I am afraid that something has happened to him..."

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the Ye Hongjian in front of him was not only the junior uncle of Linglong Pavilion, but also the daughter of the Marquis Mansion of the Great Zhou Ningguo, although the national affairs were the responsibility of the husband, but it was too far away from Xu Han.

"It's just that Wang Muji of Northern Xinjiang can't hold the Sword Dragon Pass, isn't there still the natural danger of Dahuangcheng behind him?"

The Stegosaurus Pass is the gateway of the Great Zhou, and everyone in the world says that the Stegosaurus Pass is broken, and the Great Zhou is in danger.

After the Sword Dragon Pass, there is a big yellow city, which is close to the three main peaks of the Linglong Pavilion next to the mountain, which is called the natural danger. Behind the Great Yellow City is the rich Liangzhou, which is the emperor's residence Chang'an.

As soon as the Great Yellow City was broken, the Great Zhou was considered dead.

It's just that Dahuangcheng is heavily guarded, and there is a well-known veteran Lin Shou in charge, which can be described as solid.

Thirty years ago, the old Muwang died in battle, the new commander of the Mu family, that is, the Mu Ji brother who was beheaded for the crime of rebellion, Mu Tai, who wanted to avenge his father and fell into the tricks of the gangsters, so that the Sword Dragon Pass was lost for a time, Hou Yun, the pillar of the Xia Dynasty, led 500,000 Daxia iron cavalry to drive straight in, and the soldiers came under the Great Yellow City, and Lin Shou, who was over 50 years old at that time, was ordered to guard the Great Yellow City for five months with 100,000 remnants, until the Mu family army regrouped, and Mu Tai and Zhao Chu, the king of Zhao, sent troops to help. This solved the difficulty of destroying the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty that year. And the name of the world's number one guard also fell on Lin Shou's head.

"Da Huangcheng? Eighty-year-old general, can you also count on it? Besides, once the Sword Dragon Pass is broken, won't the people of Jizhou fall into dire straits?" Ye Hongjian glanced at Xu Han fiercely when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly.

Xu Han knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

He, a small person who only wants to live in the mix, how can he compare to the daughter of the Ye family, who has a great plan for the world?

There was silence between the two.

"Hey. After about a hundred breaths, Ye Hongjian's clear voice sounded again.

"Huh?" Xu Han responded, his voice imperceptible, as if he had fallen into a half-asleep chaotic realm.

"One day, I mean if one day. Ye Hongjian hesitated a little, she bit the accent on the word "if", which seemed to be emphasizing something, but it was more like hiding something.

"Tiance Mansion needs you... I... I need you too..."

"Will you help us?"

Call...

Call...

But these words were sincere, and even the question that he asked with all the courage was only greeted by Xu Han's breathing in response.

Xu Han fell asleep.

Ye Hongjian was slightly stunned, and soon came back to his senses.

Hum!

Her face turned red for a while, and finally she snorted fiercely, wrapped in the quilt with full anger, and fell asleep on her side.

In the dark, Xu Han, who was sleeping on the ground, leaned sideways, his closed eyes suddenly opened after a few breaths, looking vacantly ahead.

He didn't sleep.

He just doesn't know how to answer this question...
