Chapter Seventy-Five: The Last Peace
On the way back to the house, there was also a small episode: when they bypassed Yudai Lake and were about to go south, they had just stepped into a three-way crossing, but they were caught up in a group of corpse monsters!
The army came along the official roads in the north and did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. I don't know how many troops there are, and the mighty and continuous ones are continuous, and I can't see the end.
Master You and his entourage just made a roundabout way, and they immediately took a look at them. Seeing that the situation was not right, the former hurriedly commanded everyone to turn around, rush ahead of the corpse monster army, and rush in the direction of the Qiandu River, desperately.
At the forefront of the corpse monster army, a tall and majestic, but evil figure, sat on a wicker chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. It seemed to notice, and its eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened.
The moment he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a golden light that flashed from his eyes. It glanced coldly ahead, but saw that in the far distance, a group of dozens of people and horses suddenly came out of the oblique thorns. After a pause, he quickly walked away to the opposite of them.
It remained silent, closed its eyes again, and seemed to mumble to itself: "It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed......"
At this time, a low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded beside it: "It's just a group of mice, let them go." Those masters are not sluggish, this time our team is grand, sooner or later they will find out. ”
It looked at the former: "I'm not a fusheng, sneaky person. Brother Zhu Xi, this time I will join forces with you and make a comeback again, I believe that I will be able to succeed immediately!"
This ghost king called "Zhu Xi" is still sitting next to him at this moment! I saw this ghost king: his face was evil, handsome and there was a hint of charm, and at a glance, he thought it was an opera student.
It's just that this "white-faced little student" looks extremely unsimple. It also closed its eyes on the side to recuperate, and as soon as it finished answering Zhu Xi's words, it slowly opened its eyes. The eyes are deep, as if they are infinitely attractive, but in the depths of the eyes, a bewitching blood red appears!
Ignoring this vast army of corpse monsters, Master You and his party of nearly 100 masters collected useful information, and happened to encounter an army of corpse monsters.
They traveled non-stop, day and night. Even so, it was nearly three days before they arrived at Bihai City.
didn't have time to take a breath, just entered the West Gate, but heard that the Jinsha City Lord had brought reinforcements, and he arrived one step ahead of him. didn't pay attention to it so much, and went to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry.
And then that's what happened before.
This trip was originally intended to find out the news of Master Liu, but unexpectedly, it involved a series of changes later. This expedition took them nearly ten days!
However, fortunately, I met Master Yan and learned a lot of useful news. While most of it is hearsay, something is better than nothing.
Master You sat in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion this time, drinking tea and thinking at the same time. It was not until the last sip of tea was finished that I finished telling the ins and outs of the matter.
He went into as much detail as he could. But when it comes to some sensitive words, such as "Master Pan", I will bring it in one sentence. Beside him, the three city lords of Bihai City, the Golden Sands Divine Aunt and the Divine Arrow Master, were listening carefully, trying not to miss any detail.
"If you have any questions, a few city lords may wish to raise them, and if their subordinates are afraid of any omissions, they can also add them. Master You stared at the four city lords and asked responsibly.
Jinsha Divine Gu thought for a while, and then asked: "As Master You said, what you encountered is really the 'Divine Sword Willow Leaf - Yan Yishu'? If it is really him, then the words he said to you will not be false!"
It's just that I didn't expect Master Cao to fall into such a situation now! According to the meaning of Master Yan's words, this time the corpse monster actually mobilized six or seven ghost kings, and now, things will be tricky!"
Master You nodded solemnly, indicating that this matter was indeed true. The Liang City Lord on the side asked again: "Master You, you said that when you came back, you happened to run into an army of corpse monsters?
When Master You heard this, he was slightly embarrassed, so he replied embarrassedly: "This~ suddenly saw so many corpse monsters, and we were also frightened at that time, so we just ran for our lives." And it's far away, and the one who takes the lead really doesn't see it clearly......"
The city lord of Liang let out an "oh", and then continued: "It's okay, whether it's the Fusheng Ghost King or the demon that came out of nowhere, let's block it with soldiers and cover it with water." As long as we are united, even if the sky falls, we have to push it back!
In this way, they also have a lot of troops, and it takes a lot of time just to cross the river and cross the unnamed forest. Besides, the corpse monster army is not unified internally, and it is mixed. When they are scheduled, it should be half a month before they can arrive here. ”
After a pause, he bowed to Master You: "Master You, you have worked hard all the way! Not to mention the long distance, you have also met several ghost kings one after another! There may be some luck in this, but thanks to you, you have not lost a member, which is really a blessing."
Brother You, I've been out for so many days, I'm afraid I'm tired. You've just come home, so let's get some rest. ”
seemed to suddenly think of something, and added: "You are the 'Du Wei' of Bihai City, and there are only a hundred or so people under your hands, I'm afraid there are a little less." In the near future, the RB city lord will transfer another two hundred masters and you.
But Brother Qiuyou: I must take these three hundred brothers well, and in the days to come, it will never be easy...... Okay, if there's nothing to do, you can go down first, and you'll have to worry about it!"
After hearing this, Master You was busy with a straight face, and immediately got up and knelt on one knee. He said solemnly: "Yes, city lord! The subordinates must live up to their mission!" and then led the order to retreat.
The other five people were still discussing countermeasures in the lobby, while Master You walked out of the door. Looking up at the sky, I saw that there were no clouds, and occasionally there were sparrows preparing to return to their nests, chirping and flying from a low altitude, and everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.
It's just that under this peace, it's just the calm before the storm. No one knows whether people will be able to withstand the next storm......
When I looked down, I just saw the figure of You Wuxian waiting. It seems that the latter has been waiting here for a long time, and his face is full of anxiety. Seeing Master You coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
I haven't seen him for nearly ten days, and this kid seems to have grown a lot. Not to mention the tanning, he also knows that buying a leather scabbard and tying it around his waist and pinning the soul-destroying thorn behind his waist looks quite presentable.
This sense of stability for successors is not something that everyone can deeply experience. Master You smiled with satisfaction, and also strode over......
It was getting late, and the five of them walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. Liang Mingdi stepped forward to greet the Jinsha Divine Aunt and said, "Divine Aunt, this time the two cities can unify their opinions so quickly, and I would like to thank the Divine Aunt and the Lord of the Kingdom for their trust in Liang! Please!"
The crowd did not refuse, and went with them. When it was Hu Qin's turn to pass by Liang Mingdi, the latter reversed the usual majestic image of the city lord, and suddenly said playfully: "Qin'er, please!"
The goddess who walked to the front suddenly paused: this has even changed the title...... Then he couldn't help but turn around and joked: "Tsk! This woman should be married, and she has been raising a good disciple for more than ten years, and in the blink of an eye, it is someone else's......"
Hearing that the Golden Sands Divine Aunt actually made such a joke, everyone was also stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh "poof". Hu Qin's face flushed, this is not walking, nor is it standing, not to mention how embarrassing it is.
She glanced at Liang Mingdi and Jinsha Divine Aunt: "City Lord Liang, Master, you~ don't make fun of us......"
As if he had thought of something, he said with a straight face: "Master, there are still some things to do...... If you need to deal with it, you guys should go first...... Then I went to ...... and "I don't know what is going on, so I have to deal with it now."
Liang Mingdi and Jinsha Shengu looked at each other deeply, and then listened to the latter: "Go ahead." ”
Hu Qin circled around the City Lord's Mansion for half a circle, and then went straight to the east. walked all the way to the location of the east wall school field, only to see that in the field, a figure stood with his back to each other, and there was a piece of animal skin on his shoulders - it was Zhen Lu!
The latter seemed to know that it was Hu Qin who came, so he whispered without looking back: "Senior sister, you are finally here." He turned back slowly, staring at the former's eyes with burning eyes.
Hu Qin looked at him with complicated eyes, then lowered his head and stopped looking at him. He asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, it's so late, you asked me to come here, is there anything wrong?" On the other hand, Zhen Lu frowned and sighed a little sadly.
He pouted to the position of the back mountain: "Find a quiet place, there are some words, senior brother wants to say something to listen to you......" After speaking, he turned around to himself, and climbed the city wall in a few ups and downs.
Hu Qin hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed.
Climbing to the top of the back mountain, I found Zhen Lu sitting on a flat boulder. When he saw the latter arrive, he patted the stone casually and motioned for her to sit down as well. Hu Qin walked over and sat down, but he was not next to him, and there was some distance in between.
Zhen Lu looked at the Bihai City under his feet silently for a long time, and both of them were silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Senior sister, do you remember, in the past, you and I liked to climb the arrow tower in Sands City and count the stars. Although it was extremely boring, I think the ten years we spent together were the happiest!"
Looking up at the sky, there was still a faint afterglow in the west, reflecting the cloudless sky, pure and flawless. It's just that I can't see half a star at the moment.
Retracted his gaze, his eyes looked at Hu Qin's side face without blinking. Seeing that the latter was also looking at the sky motionless at this time, thinking of her decision today, she couldn't help but feel endless sadness in her heart.
He continued: "You used to say to your brother that the brightest star is where 'he' is. I often secretly think, what kind of character is this 'he', or which of your old friends? It is only today that I understand that he is Liang Mingdi!"
Hearing this, it was obvious that Hu Qin's body was stunned. However, listening to the meaning of Zhen Lu's words, I thought it was about Liang Mingdi, and she didn't say a word about him.
Seeing that the latter didn't even want to explain to him, Zhen Lu was unwilling at this time: "I don't care what happened to you with this surnamed Liang before, but the two of us have depended on each other since childhood, and we grew up as childhood sweethearts." You also know that Senior Brother has always liked you alone, is it true that the relationship of more than ten years is really not worth that insignificant encounter?!"
Hearing the word "insignificant", Hu Qin looked at the latter with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Senior brother, the more than ten years I have been with you day and night have indeed been the happiest and most carefree days for Qin'er. But you have to understand that feelings can't be forced!
Many times, I have secretly reminded that Qin'er already has a place in her heart...... Maybe in a few years, I won't be able to see Brother Liang again...... I really have to live alone......"
Listening to her sentence "Brother Liang" on the left and "Brother Liang" on the right, Zhen Lu at this time was already angry. Listen to the meaning of her words, if she can't wait for Liang Mingdi in this life, she would rather be lonely for a lifetime!
couldn't help it, Zhen Lu was furious, and even his words became trembling: "So, in your heart, there really is no place for a senior brother?
Between the words, there is a taste of aggressiveness. When Hu Qin heard this, he also secretly felt that something was wrong. She gritted her teeth, and then said ruthlessly: "Yes! From the very beginning, I have always put Brother Liang in the most important position in my heart!"
Moreover, although you are my senior brother, in fact, I have always regarded you as my own brother. Excuse me, how do you make me take this relationship for granted!?"
Of course, Hu Qin is not a hard-hearted person, she said so decisively, it is nothing more than to let the former die of this heart. The so-called long pain is better than short pain, and it is good for everyone to stop early. It's just that she thinks so simply, but when the words reach the other party's ears, it's a different matter.
"Okay! good! good ......" said a long list of good things in a row, but Zhen Lu didn't laugh angrily: "What is so good about Liang Mingdi! It's almost fifty years old, this time the corpse monsters are attacking wantonly, and the city is almost broken! Bihai City is a place of right and wrong, when the crisis comes, even Liang Mingdi can't protect himself, what good is it for you to stay here!"
Hu Qin's eyes widened and looked at the former, as if he had only met her senior brother for the first time. It was so natural for these words to come out of his mouth. And after he said this, not only did he not feel excessive at all, but also looked at her with burning eyes.
Uncontrollably, Hu Qin suddenly felt a little tired. Instead of such a senseless entanglement, it is better to hide far away, so that he can see the facts clearly.
Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up and only said coldly: "Okay, that's the end of today! I have made a statement today, and from now on, it will only belong to Brother Liang! I still have something to do, go down first, senior brother...... Take care!"
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Zhen Lu, who had a strange face and was there. It's just that she just turned around and didn't take two steps, but her figure suddenly stopped. It turned out that Zhen Lu was caught off guard and suddenly grabbed her.
As soon as she turned around, she saw this terrifyingly cold face in front of her. Before he could make a move, the latter suddenly pulled the former backwards with a sudden force!
With a "snap", Hu Qin fell straight on the stone. She hurriedly turned over, but only felt that it was dark in front of her, and a figure quickly pounced on her and held her down. She struggled in a hurry, but she couldn't move at all!
Looking at a face that was twisted to the extreme, Hu Qin's mind went blank at this time. I couldn't help it, I suddenly felt a wave of fear, and I only reflexively touched the knife with my hand.
The knife was raised in the air, but suddenly there was a thrill: although there was a person who had lost his mind in front of him, he was also a senior brother who had lived together for more than ten years. How can she do it?!
Zhen Lu was like a beast, and laughed wildly: "Hehe...... I knew that my junior sister couldn't bear to kill me! Now you dare to say that you don't like my senior brother? From now on, you will be my Zhen Lu alone! No one will want to take it away from me!"
After saying that, he was about to unveil her. Hu Qin saw Zhen Lu's hand slowly stretching out to his face, but his whole body was restrained, and he had no power to resist...... The endless humiliation instantly surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sad, and a teardrop quietly slipped from the corner of her eye......
Seeing that Hu Qin was about to be defiled, he heard a sudden shout not far behind him: "Are you enough!
