It was late at night, and the city of Black Terrace was ethereal in the darkness, with only a few torches swaying lonely.

Seeing such a bleak scene, Xia Xiao couldn't help but sigh. This Heitai City was also the largest city in the western part of the dynasty, and the night was like day, who knew that it was so dead and silent now?

In less than three months, it lost its prosperity, and it also lost its original owner, the southern merchants who were not guarding the town.

"Let's go. ”

Down this hill, they will be able to enter the city.

Shu Shuang nodded again and again, even though her little face was a little pale in the dark, she still took a step without hesitation. At the end of the day, the rush from morning to night made her almost collapse, but she couldn't hold Xia Xiao back.

Suddenly, Shu Shuang leaned forward and lost her center of gravity.

"Be careful!"

In the dark night, Xia Xiao grabbed Shu Shuang, making the latter feel a sense of security when he was in danger. But the two of them still fell to the ground and rolled down. In an instant, there was a stinging pain all over the body, and the stones on the snowfield were hard and terrifying, and some of them had sharp horns.

Holding Shu Shuang tightly, Xia Xiao gritted his teeth and tried to stop with his feet, but he didn't succeed. The day's rush has exhausted your vitality and stamina!

"Ahh

Shu Shuangjiao's body trembled, and she screamed in pain, causing Xia Xiao to exert her strength. Damn, it's just a gentle slope, stop me!

As soon as the soles of their feet stretched out, they ploughed a half-meter-long snow ditch on the ground, and the two of them stopped.

"It's okay. ”

Xia Xiao's hands were so cold that he was a little numb when he let go of the frost. There is also a warm current flowing, presumably the skin is cut by a stone and bleeding.

"I'm sorry. ”

Shu Shuang felt that she had messed up, but Xia Xiao didn't blame, just pulled her up, and then held her wrist.

Xia Xiao walked in front of Shu Shuang, walking very slowly, and the soles of his feet kept probing, moving away from the stones to prevent Shu Shuang from stepping on the air or tripping. This is out of Xia Xiao's deep desire to protect, it seems a bit natural for a man to protect a woman, but Shu Shuang doesn't think so, she feels that she is not responsible.

The last stretch of the road was also the hardest because it was too cold and they were too tired. Soon, however, they came to the city of Heitai.

Because of the previous notice, the gates of Heitai City were opened for them, and a general with several soldiers waited for them.

Xia Xiao held the token and pulled Shu Shuang behind him. Even in the dark of night, he still felt that something was wrong with the general who came in front of him. Even if the appearance is mediocre and there is no malicious intent, but there seems to be something hidden in those eyes, is it that they have misperceived it? Maybe not!

"Two adults, the room is ready, you can rest directly. ”

"Trouble leads the way. ”

Xia Xiao's voice was cold, and he tried his best to suppress his weakness. In an unknown environment, everyone will disguise themselves in order to achieve their goals.

Led by the soldiers, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked towards the room, followed by Wang Jihe and his personal guards.

Glancing behind him, although Wang Ji was just walking without saying a word, Xia Xiao still felt that something was wrong. His intuition can't be wrong, there is a hidden murderous aura in the eyes of these people!

Walking into the room, hot water, food was available, Shu Shuang sat on the chair, tired. But Xia Xiao did not rest immediately, but bolted the door, turned around and began to undress.

Xia Xiao was extremely fast, frightened Shu Shuang, she was shyly stunned in place, this ...... What does this do?

"Hurry up!"

Xia Xiao didn't get the usual response, and only when she saw Shu Shuang did she understand her doubts.

"I just want to apply the medicine and get my energy back. ”

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Shu Shuang lowered his head and hurriedly came over.

What do you think?Xia Xiao shook his head secretly.

When he rolled down the hill before, Xia Xiao protected Shu Shuang, but he was scratched, although he was fine, he had a lot of scars all over his body.

By candlelight, Shu Shuang found for the first time that Xia Xiao was covered with scars. On the back, abdomen, chest, legs, arms. He was still a fourteen-year-old child, but like a battle-hardened veteran, his body was repeatedly baptized by the cruel wars and cold weapons.

"These ...... hurts"

"A lot of them were left behind when they were in the imperial capital. ”

Xia Xiao's tone was flat, but he would not forget the scene at that time.

It was the third year that he had been labeled as a traveler from afar, and he would be beaten or whipped with a rod as long as he did not detect any fluctuations in his vitality. This is the inspiration of the dynasty's mouth, but also his nightmare. The weak body is under pressure that it shouldn't be undergoing!

Biting his lip, Shu Shuang was sad and teary-eyed. She began to hate the guy who placed the seal, if it weren't for him, Xia Xiao would be able to cultivate as soon as he came to this world, and he would be talented, so he wouldn't have suffered so much!

Thinking about it, she lost her mind, and tears dripped on Xia Xiao's shoulder.

The subtle touch made Xia Xiao turn his head.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Shuang shook her head while wiping her tears, rubbing medicine for Xia Xiao.

"There are many avalanches at the Snow Dragon Pass, and there are wild beasts at noon, so we set off early in the morning to find them as soon as possible. ”

With his back to Shu Shuang, Xia Xiao opened the window slightly and looked at a snowy peak outside the city. On the other side of the eye, where the snow is shrouded, is tomorrow's target, where there is a high chance that they will die!

"It's changed. ”

Shu Shuang changed into dry clothes, hugged a roll of blankets, and walked in front of Xia Xiao obediently.

Xia Xiao smiled, took it, put it on the ground, and then sat cross-legged, and began to recover.

Shu Shuang didn't extinguish the candles in the room, because Xia Xiao had explained that something would always happen along the way. The later it happens, the more it shows that these people are calm, and the more dangerous it is!

It's really quiet tonight, there is no drunken shouting like the soldiers in Fujikawa City in the middle of the night, and there is no sound of movement, everything is quiet. It seems that in this Heitai City, there are only two living people, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang.

Almost recovered, Xia Xiao opened his eyes and looked around the room carefully. Too quiet a night would only expose their caution, and it seems that this time it will not be easy. Furrowed violently, Xia Xiao secretly prayed to himself, don't make a mistake at the Snow Dragon Crossing, otherwise the chance of an accident is too great!

Early the next morning, a soldier came to deliver food to Xia Xiao and the others.

knocked on the door first, and then he politely said:

"Two adults, breakfast is here!"

No one answered for a long time, so he tried to push the door.

The wooden door creaked open, but it was empty, and there was no half-human to be seen. Throwing away the plate in his hand, the porridge was scattered all over the ground, but how could the soldier still care?

"General!"

In the room, Wang Ji was holding Zhu Heng's gold, and he felt sorry for himself. With so much gold, I can't earn it in my life, but it's a pity, who let Xia Xiao, this kid, follow a person who walks the church.

"What's the matter, all the fuss?"

Wang Ji scolded, but the soldier who broke in panicked and said:

"Xia Xiao is gone!"

"What?"

Wang Ji punched the table, shattering it. Since their speed is so fast, they seem to be aware of it, and they are really keen!

Turning around and opening the window, the snow peak where the Snow Dragon Crossing is located is still the same as yesterday.

"Gather everyone, all armed! I'm going to settle this gold!"

The soldier was stunned.

"General, you said ...... last night"

Wang Ji put on a knife, and a greedy green light appeared in his eyes.

"The duck can't fly to the beak, the snow at the Snow Dragon Pass is thick enough, it doesn't fall, let's help it!"

The soldier looked at the golden gold and immediately went down to command.

"Xia Xiao, we have no enmity, but I'm sorry!"

Holding a piece of gold, Wang Ji smiled evilly.
