"Young man, don't go forward, four days ago, a group of men in black attacked Cloud City, and now Cloud City is in chaos, everyone can run, you should run quickly!"

The old man pulled Long Shi'er's sleeve as he spoke, wanting Long Shi'er to escape quickly, but how could he have the strength to pull Long Shi'er when he was about to enter the wood.

However, Long Shi'er was still a little moved.

"Old man, we are here to help the city lord, you can rest assured, we will definitely try our best to maintain the safety of Cloud City. ”

After speaking, Long Shi'er pulled Xu Rongrong and walked quickly in the direction of Cloud City, the old man turned around slowly, looked at the backs of Long Shi'er and Xu Rongrong, and let out a long sigh, and then moved to leave with difficult steps.

Along the way, Long Shi'er couldn't even see the people who fled in all directions, and could only see many things on the road that he didn't have time to pick up, including clothes, broken jars, and so on.

The closer he got to Cloud City, the more such things there were, and Long Shi'er didn't dare to imagine what Cloud City would be like now.

I came to the front of Cloud City with a complicated mood and saw the corpses of the Yuncheng guards, as well as some people in black.

The black-clothed man had silver-white wings embroidered on both shoulders, and Long Shi'er finally thought of a person, the Black-Winged Heavenly King......

When Xu Rongrong saw such a scene, her mind was blank, she thought of Xu Huai, who was the city lord, and for a while, she didn't care about anything, screaming and running towards the city lord's mansion.

Long Shi'er hurriedly followed behind Xu Rongrong, and the alleys in Cloud City were full of corpses, some were guarded by Cloud City, some were men in black, but more were from the people.

There were many guards in Cloud City who were dealing with the corpses, and Xu Rongrong, who was out of control, ran directly to one of the guards and asked anxiously, "Where is the city lord?"

"The city lord is in the city lord's mansion. ”

The guard didn't seem to have seen Xu Rongrong, and looked at Xu Rongrong with some doubts.

One of the guards who knew her saw the arrival of Xu Rongrong and Long Shi'er, and excitedly shouted at the two: "Miss, uncle, you are back!"

Long Shi'er turned his head to look at this person, this was one of the guards who had been on a mission with him in Shanghu Village, and Long Shi'er nodded at him.

After Xu Rongrong learned of Xu Huai's whereabouts, no one paid attention to it, so he walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, and Long Shi'er hurriedly followed, but he couldn't talk to the man yet.

After passing through the corpse-strewn Cloud City, running all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, there were not many guards in the City Lord's Mansion, and as soon as the two appeared, those guards shouted "Miss and Aunt Gu are back" and ran towards the mansion.

Long Shi'er and Xu Rongrong met Xu Huai at the front of the conference hall, and there were many high-ranking officials of the Cloud City guards standing behind him, wanting what they were talking about just now.

Seeing Xu Huai again, at this moment, he had a lot of wrinkles on his face, his skin had become yellow, and he could see the traces of white hair mixed between his black hair from both sides of his official hat.

Compared with Xu Huai who Long Shi'er saw last time, he is old, much older, and a lot haggard, and now he doesn't seem to have the original spirit, and he has begun to show old age after cultivating in the early stage of the tribulation.

Although cultivation can change a person's appearance, people are more dependent on the original changes of the person, after all, changing the appearance requires the maintenance of true qi.

Seeing Xu Rongrong and Long Shi'er, Xu Huai's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, the reason why he didn't seem to smile for a long time, now it seems that this smile is a little rusty.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Rongrong walked towards Xu Huai step by step, she couldn't hold back her thoughts about her father anymore, and ran towards Xu Huai, Xu Huai hugged her tightly into her arms.

No matter how they make trouble, no matter what knots they have, in times of crisis, blood ties will make this knot disappear temporarily, and when the embarrassment passes, it will return to normal.

Long Shi'er walked up to Xu Huai and shouted. "Father-in-law!"

Xu Huai nodded at Long Shi'er, and there was a smile on his face, this kind of smile was the most innocent smile Long Shi'er had ever seen so far.

Xu Rongrong wiped his tears as if he remembered something, and asked Xu Huai, "Father, where is my mother?"

"Don't worry, I'm here, she's fine, she's in the backyard now!"

"Well, I'll go find her!"

Xu Rongrong sniffed, said goodbye to Xu Huai, and ran to the backyard again, she hadn't seen her family for two years, and her desire to see the second elder after returning home was difficult to suppress.

Seeing Xu Rongrong leave, Xu Huai said to Long Shi'er: "Shi'er, hurry, hurry, you're tired, come in and have a cup of tea!"

Long Shi'er nodded, and as Xu Huai entered the meeting hall, someone immediately brought tea for Long Shi'er, Long Shi'er took a sip in his mouth and said to Xu Huai.

"Father-in-law, we only heard about the situation in Cloud City recently, and we couldn't come back in time, so we ask my father-in-law to forgive us!"

"Actually, after you heard about the situation in Cloud City, you shouldn't have come back. ”

Xu Huai sharply accused.

However, this kind of words felt very comfortable in Long Shi'er's ears, because he really cared about himself and his appearance, and Long Shi'er smiled as a matter of course.

"Father-in-law, we haven't come back when we hear about this situation, isn't this letting us be unfilial children!"

"Well, but, you have returned, and if you don't return, let you come back and look like this, I feel ashamed as an elder!"

Xu Huai said with some self-reproach.

Long Shi'er hurriedly shook his head.

"Father-in-law, you don't have to blame yourself, can you tell me about the situation in Cloud City now?"

In order not to continue the sad mood, Long Shi'er could only change the topic.

Xu Huai nodded.

"After you left, the mastermind behind Shanghu Village launched a fierce attack on the area around our Cloud City, and many people have already died......

Speaking of this, Xu Huai's mood was completely low, he coughed twice, and then continued: "Because we can't catch their horses, we can only send a distress signal like the imperial court, the imperial court just sent more than 10,000 reinforcements to help Yuncheng, we couldn't know the identity of those people at first, and how many of their masters there were, and we suffered a big loss in this regard." ”

"Then they crushed our whole army with absolute overwhelming force, until now, four days ago they launched another attack, and we also sent a signal to the imperial court, but the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, and in a few days they will attack again, in order to protect the safety of the people, I will cover the people with a large number of guards, leaving our guards of less than a thousand to delay time for them. ”

"Do you know what's going on with the Men in Black now?"

After a general understanding, Long Shi'er opened his mouth and asked, wanting to know from Xu Huai's mouth whether this matter was done by the Black Wing Heavenly King.

Xu Huai said: "At present, we only know that among the masters they have appeared, there are two masters in the middle of the tribulation and four masters in the early stage of the tribulation, and their leader has been operating behind the scenes, and he has not appeared until now, I infer that his cultivation will be the highest, and they are currently showing that their current strength is very strong, and they still have more than 10,000 people, which is ten times that of us!"

"And what about our side?"

When Long Shi'er heard such news, he just paused, but quickly came back to his senses, the current war, fighting is not about numbers, only about strength, here, as long as your strength is enough, there is no such thing as two fists and four hands.

"At present, I have called all the gentlemen of the Cloud Academy, but unfortunately, before this, the Dean of the Cloud Academy, Tianyun has traveled all over the world, and with the two mentors of the Cloud Academy, our strength is also very different. ”

In the early stage of a tribulation and a late stage of a tribulation, such a gap is already very huge, you must know that a warrior's destructive ability is extremely strong.

Long Shi'er secretly spoke, now that he has not even been able to break through the merger period, he really fights hard, and he may be able to barely deal with the powerhouse in the early stage of the tribulation, but the premise is because of his terrifying state of mind.

Long Shi'er began to ponder, now that he is now, the only way is to ask the demon dragon for help, but once the demon dragon turns the head of the car to deal with him, it will produce the result of self-destruction.

Long Shi'er secretly hated that he didn't have a good relationship with the demon dragon, but the strength of the demon dragon was arrogant, and it was difficult to have a good relationship with himself, Long Shi'er thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

Xu Huai shook his head and sighed.

"Shi'er, I'll discuss with you again, you and Rongrong have come all the way, you must be very tired, you go to rest first, this matter is not so easy to solve, go, don't worry!"

Long Shi'er nodded and exited the meeting hall, if it was for everyone to escape, this Long Shi'er could do it.

But Xu Huai, as an important member of the imperial court, how could he leave Cloud City, he has only one decision, as long as the imperial court does not issue an order to let him withdraw, it is to live and die with the position he holds!

From the current situation, it can be seen how firm Xu Huai's decision is, which also hit Long Shi'er's heart even more.

Because of his firmness, Long Shi'er had faintly pulled his position in his heart to the edge of the enemy, but there were still some implications left in his heart, which made Long Shi'er hesitate to make up his mind.

Long Shi'er came to the room two years after he left, this was the new house of Long Shi'er and Xu Rongrong, the house was cleaned very clean, and the furnishings were still the same as before.

Long Shi'er stood in the room and remembered the scene with Xu Rongrong, at that time, he just promised to do her a favor, but later he involved so many things, so that he could cook raw rice with her.

Time has passed, two years later, she and she really fell in love, at the beginning they were just forcibly tied together by fate, but now they are taking the initiative to tie the rope to themselves.

Long Shi'er recalled the past in the room, and then walked towards the backyard, parting for two years, according to the politeness, Long Shi'er should go to see his mother-in-law who has not seen him for two years.

The matter of Cloud City has already evacuated the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and it seems that the huge City Lord's Mansion is so quiet, Long Shi'er walked to the backyard and saw Xu Rongrong and his mother-in-law talking in the small pavilion in the middle of the artificial lake
