Di Yuan rubbed his temples, his eyes were closed, and there was a slightly painful look on his face.

Yan Chen stood a few steps away from his desk and asked with some concern, "Does Master Hou have another headache?"

Di Yuan still closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just that Ben Hou had a dream last night, and he dreamed that the rebel escaped and ran to the Hou Mansion, wielding a knife to kill Ben Hou." ”

"It's just a nightmare, Master Hou doesn't need to worry about it, according to the day, the second son should be almost here. Just put the Grand Duke ...... The traitor was escorted back, and the Hou Ye could interrogate him personally. Yan Chen replied.

"That's the best. What about this side ......"

Yan Chen fell to his knees, lowered his head and said, "It's the subordinates who are not doing things well, please ask the Hou Ye to surrender!"

Di Yuan waved his hand and said with a tired expression: "Everyone has already fled, what good is it to blame you." Ben Hou has lost too many ...... recently."

Yan Chen slammed the ground again, making a low sound.

"Since it's your fault, then Benhou will give you another chance. ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Di Yuan stretched out his hand and took out a handwritten letter on the table, handed it forward casually, and Yan Chen hurriedly took it.

"This is news from Wu Shuo. I found something in the West Wilderness. ”

Yan Chen's surprised expression flashed, and he immediately bowed to Di Yuan happily and said, "Congratulations to Master Hou!"

Di Yuan opened his eyes, and his eyes like knives and arrows shone out from those eyes: "This time the stakes are very high, Ben Hou and his wife need to go in person, and there is still a principal left in the city." The candidate in Benhou's mind is Suo Pingzhang. ”

"General Suo?" Yan Chen felt incredible, and frowned: "General Suo has always been mysterious, not to mention that the official rank is still lower, although this time it can be proved that he has nothing to do with the traitor, but his subordinates think that it is not appropriate to hold such a high status......"

His role in this case is by no means as innocent as it seems. But Ben Hou expected that what he wanted was just a name, a qualification to compete with Hui'er. Among the several species of Ben Hou, he can be regarded as outstanding, and he is only a general. Then Benhou will fulfill him, so the so-called official rank concerns will no longer exist. ”

"Master Hou, this ......" Yan Chen was obviously very surprised by this, and hurriedly said: "After all, General Suo has uncontrollable factors, is it too risky to entrust him with such a big responsibility?"

Di Yuan reached out and pressed it against the corner of the table, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. He squinted slightly and said, "It's not that he has to be. It's just that as soon as that rebel dies, Hui'er is afraid that she will get carried away. Someone has to help Ben Hou beat him, don't let him go too far. ”

Yan Chen was speechless for a while, he knew that what Di Yuan said was true, this marquis has always been well versed in checks and balances, and even more so when dealing with his ambitious sons.

"Ben Hou is not at ease with him, so he only has the name of the principal, only administrative powers, and the transfer of troops in the city, except for the desert wolf battalion and the army directly under Ben Hou, is all handed over to you to co-ordinate. If you are holding him back, he shouldn't dare to come nonsense. ”

The military power of the whole city is by no means a trivial matter, even if the Desert Wolf Battalion and the Lizhou Foreign Army under Di Yuan's direct command are excluded, there are still the soldiers of the Hou Mansion, the Xiaocheng Guards and the City Defenders who are responsible for the security of the city. This means that after Di Yuan leaves, the life and death of Shajiang City is in his thoughts. Such a huge military power made Yan Chen a little stunned, he looked at Di Yuan, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

"In the days that Ben Hou left, you found out all the Wing people who fled and the people who rescued them. The opportunity is given to you, and the military power is also given to you, don't let Benhou down. Di Yuan handed the teacup in his hand to Yan Chen, and then patted him on the shoulder.

Yan Chen was stunned at first, and then his eyes were red on his old face, he took the teacup and drank it all, and replied word by word: "Subordinate, I will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye!"

Di Yuan nodded slightly. His seemingly tired gaze fell on the tea cup that was thrown away and broken in half by Yan Chen, and the light in his eyes flashed.

......

......

Xiao Qi lowered the last Wing Clan boy from behind his back and made him sit in the shadow of a poplar tree. Then he felt the blood slowly flowing down his back and palms, and there was some sadness in his heart, and he couldn't bear to look at the scarred Wing Clan boy.

Seeing this, Xiaoxi hurriedly tore off a strip of cloth from her skirt and helped Xiao Qi wipe it.

"Thank you. Xiao Qi took the strip of cloth and wiped the blood off his hands, Xiaoxi kept his head down and twisted his head again.

They rescued a total of twenty-nine people, most of them were eleven or twelve years old, and a few were even younger, but they were only eight or nine years old. Without exception, they were scarred, and some of them had new wounds on top of their scabbed wounds, but all of them had their wings intact. Xiao Qi couldn't imagine how these teenagers survived, and he didn't know how many people didn't survive this kind of torture.

"So, it wasn't the clear water room you betrayed. Luo Xiaoyu leaned against the tree and smiled weakly, "I don't think you like either, there is a meticulous work that will write the words 'do not approach the living' on his face." ”

"How are you?" asked Xiao Qi.

"I survived. If I had come too late, I would have killed myself. I've seen people who have been tortured like nerds by them, trained like cattle since childhood, and can be demolished and relocated at will. The smile on Luo Xiaoyu's face was a little blank, "Compared to them, they are better than us, they may have been born by Dark Feather, and they have been in such an environment since they were born, and they can learn to obey without having to endure much hardship." Hehe, it's a pity that we people are older, and it's more difficult to control, if we don't turn us into livestock, they don't worry about turning us into murderous knives!" Xiao Qi found that Luo Xiaoyu's eyes were always clean and clear, and there was an anger that he had never seen before.

Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, unable to think of words to comfort Luo Xiaoyu.

Mu Changsheng approached, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Miss Gu is back." ”

Xiao Qi raised his head, Gu Wanyi swept across the sky with a person in both hands, and slowly descended. Xiao Qi looked at the two of them, and he didn't know if it was sunlight or something, which made him squint slightly.

Zhang Sheng looked even more embarrassed than Luo Xiaoyu and the others, there was hardly a piece of intact skin on his body, and the flesh and blood on his back were blurred. After Gu Wanyi put him on the ground, she still couldn't stop wiping her tears.

As soon as Zhang Sheng landed, he fell to his knees and bowed to Xiao Qi violently. Xiao Qi was taken aback by him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Brother Xiao, Zhang Sheng will remember it in his heart!" Zhang Sheng said, trembling as he planned to pull Gu Wanyi to kneel down together.

Zhang Sheng was already extremely weak, and he helped Xiao Qi block Yan Chen's full force, and suffered a lot of internal injuries, so it was not easy to stay awake at this time. Xiao Qi helped him up without much effort, and almost at the same time, Zhang Sheng's body was paralyzed and fell down like mud. Xiao Qi then handed him over to Gu Wanyi, who hurriedly got his hands on him.

Gu Wanyi placed Zhang Sheng well, and only then did she see more than 20 clansmen behind Xiao Qi. Her tears flowed down her eyes, and she covered her mouth, whimpering from her fingertips, and her heart stirred, and she walked slowly towards them.

Most of these Wing Clan teenagers knew Gu Wanyi, and the few who were still awake also burst into tears and greeted her with some difficulty.

Xiao Qi, Mu Changsheng, and Xiaoxi stood on the side, silently waiting for Gu Wanyi to reunite with the clansmen, but after a while, the three of them could only hear louder and louder cries.

"It's really ruthless to be able to do it to these children!" Mu Changsheng held his sword, showing a rare look of anger, and said indignantly, "The people behind the scenes, whether it is Di Yuan or Na Suo Pingzhang, must not die well!"

Xiao Qi knew that Mu Changsheng's atmosphere not only came from Ye Dushan's entrustment, but also from his ranger-like arrogance. Xiao Qi has always admired Mu Changsheng's chivalrous spirit, but at this moment, his gaze at Gu Wanyi and the others was as calm as autumn water, without any emotions such as anger, sadness, or compassion, but there was a faint emptiness and loss of color. He only said lightly: "Miss Gu may not have the heart to investigate the murderer. ”

Mu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "How could it be ......?"

Xiao Qi's voice was not loud, but it just pierced Gu Wanyi's ears. The tears on her face had not dried, but she trembled slightly when she heard the words.

Gu Wanyi forcibly suppressed her desire to sob, and her weak-looking body was trembling in the cold wind.

She was indeed very hesitant, and Xiao Qi saw through her mind with a word. As the only survivor of the Qing Shui Room, Gu Wanyi, revenge is her unshirkable mission and her obsession, and Gu Wanyi, who has regained her clan and lover, does not need to insist on taking risks, for the living, survival is the most important thing.

She always has a deep sense of guilt for Xiao Qi, whether it is coming to Shajiang City, or exploring the dark feather and rescuing Zhang Sheng, Xiao Qi always puts himself in danger and is her most reliable help. Gu Wanyi understood her intentions, but she never broke it, because she was afraid that it would make Xiao Qi leave her, leaving her alone and panicked.

Now that she has found Zhang Sheng and her clansmen, she doesn't need to worry about Xiao Qi's departure, but giving up and cowering at this time also means that she gave up and deceived the person who accompanied her all the way and was "used" by herself, even if he knew better than anyone else in his heart, he still had no hesitation.

Gu Wanyi never dared to look directly into Xiao Qi's eyes, and kept her head down. At this time, Luo Xiaoyu, who was next to her, suddenly spoke: "Sister Gu won't." If you don't fight back after being beaten, it's not Sister Gu I recognize!"

When he spoke, he neither looked at Gu Wanyi nor Xiao Qi, but looked into the distance, as if talking to himself. Only Gu Wanyi is familiar with Luo Xiaoyu's expression when she was bullied in Barefoot Alley and beat her back together.

Gu Wanyi hesitated for a long time, but after all, she still couldn't say anything to give up in front of Xiao Qi and Luo Xiaoyu.

At this time, Xiao Qi suddenly spoke: "Since Miss Gu's wish has been fulfilled, then Xiao Qi can be regarded as fulfilling his promise." The next road needs to be led by Miss Gu and Brother Zhang. ”

Gu Wanyi raised her head in confusion and met Xiao Qi's eyes, and in an instant, there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes.

"You really ......" Gu Wanyi reluctantly opened her mouth, but she wasn't sure if she made a sound.

"Aren't you going to continue?" Luo Xiaoyu asked.

"Nope. I advise you not to bother with the murderer behind the scenes, whoever it is, it is not something you can match now. Your priority should be to find a place of refuge to heal your people and survive. Revenge is a long way to come. ”
