Xiao Qi lay on the top of the hill, lowered his body and looked down at the hill, only secretly revealing one head. It is already located in the northwest of Yuzhou, with hills, and the green plants here have gradually thinned, and from a distance, it looks like a brocade with a gradient color gradually spreading from southeast to northwest. When I reached the northwest, it was close to a yellowish-brown color as far as the eye could see. This means that further west, you will reach the desolate and remote territory of Lizhou.

Beneath the hill, a group of men and horses meandered along the mountain. At the front of the procession flew a banner with a wolf's head and long fangs sticking out like daggers, looking hideous and terrifying. The whole flag was yellow-brown, except for the fangs, which were painted as bright red as blood. Xiao Qi recognized that this was the banner of Lizhou Shajiang City, and after silently counting the number of people, he quietly slid down the hill.

He looked at Liu Qingxue and the others, and said softly: "It's the team of Shajiang City, there are thousands of people. ”

Liu Qingxue frowned and said, "Why did the people from Shajiang City appear in Yuzhou?" As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, "Could it be the team that came back from Yunzhou?"

"By day, it's quite possible. Xiao Qi nodded, "Ye Hengqiu and King Pingnan encircled and suppressed the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, in order to avoid igniting the fire, it is reasonable for the people of Shajiang City to choose to detour to Pingyu Erzhou. As he spoke, he noticed the unnatural look on Mu Changsheng's face, so he kept silent.

"The class master of Shajiang City is better than wandering around in front of the Xiao Liu family all day long, but they can come back safely and without hindrance, could it be that your letter was not delivered to Benhai City?" Liu Qingxue looked at Xiao Qi, obviously still worried.

Before Xiao Qi could speak, Mu Changsheng suddenly interjected: "Are you from Benhai City?" and then he said to himself: "Ah! by the way, your surname is Xiao ...... So you are the second son of King Chengji?"

"The second son has another person, I am just the righteous son of King Chengji, who was seriously injured and separated in the battle with Yunzhou, and has never returned to Benhai City. Xiao Qi replied indifferently.

Mu Changsheng showed a strange look: "So you still don't know about Benhai City?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qi asked with a frown. Because they traveled with Gu Wanyi, they had been walking in the most remote and sparsely populated places, so they had not heard the news of the Longyuan Dynasty for a long time, and even the news of Ye Hengqiu's siege of Zhongzhou was that he met a few hunters on the outskirts of the city, and learned from their chats.

"Benhai City has been captured. ”

A few simple words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Xiao Qi was stunned in place, and only after a while did he ask coldly: "Who did it?"

"Dongliu City, but you don't have to worry too much, it is said that Mrs. Xiao and the others escaped to join King Chengji in Yunzhou, but it is just ...... It's just that there are rumors that the eldest prince of Benhai City has fallen into the hands of Dongliu City, and his life and death ......are unknown," Mu Changsheng showed a rare look of hesitation on his face.

Liu Qingxue hurriedly asked, "What about the people of the Liu family?"

Mu Changsheng looked at Liu Qingxue with wide eyes, and only after a moment did he show a sudden expression and replied, "Xu is and Mrs. Xiao fled together, and I have never heard the news that the Liu family was captured by Dongliu City. Dongliucheng and the Liu family have no festivals, so they shouldn't be easily offended. ”

Liu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Xiao Qi nervously, for fear that he would react excessively, although Gu Wanyi didn't understand it, she also blinked her eyes and turned her head to look at Xiao Qi curiously. I saw that the expression on Xiao Qi's face gradually changed from anger to calmness, and then completely calmed down.

"It's useless to worry, it's better to take care of the things in front of you first. Xiao Qi said expressionlessly.

"Why don't you go back and take a look?" Liu Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "Are you really jumping out of the stone?"

Xiao Qi said indifferently: "Even if I go back, I won't be able to do anything by myself." Not to mention that at the moment, there are other important matters. ”

Gu Wanyi said softly: "You don't have to be like this, with Brother Mu here, you don't have to worry about me." Sister Liu is right, such a big matter, you should go back, you escorted me all the way, Lizhou is in front of you, and you can't be treacherous. Besides, if I delay your business, I don't want to go. ”

Xiao Qi shook his head, stopped making a sound, but took the lead and walked forward along the hill. Gu Wanyi looked at his back, a little distracted, Liu Qingxue sighed: "It's just a stubborn wood." But what he said was also the truth, and a righteous son would not be able to preside over the overall situation, so it was ...... It's not all for you, and you don't have to feel guilty. ”

Gu Wanyi came back to her senses and smiled: "Sister Liu, don't worry, I'm fine, but I'm going to trouble him again." ”

Liu Qingxue looked at the expression on Gu Wanyi's face, and suddenly said softly: "Actually, he has you in his heart, don't you understand his thoughts?"

Gu Wanyi was stunned for a moment, her cheeks were dyed a layer of crimson, and after a while, she showed a soft and dim smile and said, "Xiao ...... Brother Xiao treats me so well, I naturally know it in my heart. It's just that I'm alone, with the deep hatred of the whole clan, and I'm a member of the Wing Clan, I never dare to hope for these things. ”

She lowered her eyelids, and Liu Qingxue looked inexplicably distressed. These days, Gu Wanyi is obviously much more cheerful than when she first met, and she is already that bright girl again. She is not as bitter and bitter as she was at the beginning, but sometimes Liu Qingxue can still feel the sadness on her body like flowing water, flowing slowly, soft and long.

Liu Qingxue thought about it, but suddenly saw Gu Wanyi raise her head, and asked with a smile: "Sister Liu cares about Brother Xiao so much, isn't she also ...... him" As she spoke, she deliberately slowed down her speech.

"Nonsense!" Liu Qingxue said hurriedly.

"I haven't said anything about him yet!" Gu Wanyi stuck out her tongue and smiled at Liu Qingxue.

This girl is still a little eccentric, Liu Qingxue thought so, turned her head unnaturally, and said: "Don't get me wrong, I just respect him deeply, and I have no other intentions." ”

"That's natural, Sister Liu, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense in front of Brother Xiao. Gu Wanyi swore solemnly, but a sly smile appeared on her face, and then without waiting for Liu Qingxue to answer, she jumped forward on tiptoe.

Liu Qingxue was speechless for a while, like being helpless with a naughty child. I don't know when Liu Qingxue has silently taken Gu Wanyi's matter to heart, and looking at this girl who has become cheerful again, she is also in a lighter mood.

Liu Qingxue turned her head to look for Xiao Qi, but found that Xiao Qi was lying on the hill and looking down again. After a while, Xiao Qi walked back quickly, his face was solemn, and said, "It's a little weird. ”

"How?"

"The team had already passed most of the way, but a few people were slowly dragging at the end, and they were a long distance away from the others, not knowing the purpose. ”

Mu Changsheng leaned over and asked, "Isn't it the army's baggage, which fell last?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "There are no heavy carts to ride, just four or five horses." ”

"That's ......" Before Liu Qingxue could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared from the other side of the hill. Mu Changsheng was the first to react, and his "heart" was unsheathed and ready to go.

The person who came stood on a high place, and the situation on Xiao Qi's side was clear at a glance, and the most conspicuous thing was Gu Wanyi's white wings. Xiao Qi's heart suddenly flashed with the idea of killing people.

There were four people who came, and when they saw Gu Wanyi, they didn't have a surprised look, and the leading one approached with a smile, Xiao Qi saw clearly that he was dressed in armor, and his snow-white cloak was spread behind him, waving in the wind, and he was faintly the leader of these people. This man was only in his thirties, and he was heroic, and when he smiled, only the corner of his mouth was slanted at the right cheek, revealing a smile on his right cheek.

He glanced at Gu Wanyi and then withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile: "I can meet you here, but it's fate." ”

"Who is Your Excellency, the general of Shajiang City?" asked Mu Changsheng.

The man arched his hand and smiled: "In Xia Suo Pingzhang, the general of Shajiang City." ”

Liu Qingxue and Xiao Qi glanced at each other, unable to figure out what the other party meant. Mu Changsheng frowned, glared at Suo Pingzhang, and asked, "You are the one who led the troops of Shajiang City to start a war with Yunzhou?"

"Exactly. On the way, I met you by chance, and I wanted to meet you. Suo Pingzhang said with a smile.

Xiao Qi didn't know how the other party found out about his group, but the other party didn't seem to have the intention of doing anything, and he didn't know the details, so he asked coldly: "What is the so-called matter of Your Excellency?"

Suo Pingzhang glanced at Gu Wanyi again and said, "Suo Mou knows that you are investigating the extermination of the Wing Clan, and I can help you in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people on Xiao Qi's side changed color together, quite shocked.

Suo Pingzhang didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Since you have arrived here, you have naturally found out what this matter has to do with Shajiang City." Don't hide it from you, the Wing Clan, Dark Feather, and Shajiang City, Suo Mou knows all these things, so you don't have to deliberately hide them. ”

Mu Changsheng scratched his head, didn't know how to respond, and looked at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, and asked vigilantly, "What do you mean when you say you can help?"

Suo Pingzhang said unhurriedly: "Your guess is right, this matter is indeed the work of Shajiang City. ”

Xiao Qi looked at Gu Wanyi, Gu Wanyi looked at Suo Pingzhang with cold eyes, and the golden poison in his hand was raised, pointing at Suo Pingzhang, with murderous intent.

"But this matter has nothing to do with me, and there is no need to be so hostile, you should know that I was still in Yunzhou when the tragedy happened. Suo Pingzhang waved his hand and smiled.

Seeing that Gu Wanyi's expression softened slightly, he continued: "In Shajiang City, there are indeed people who secretly raise the Wing Clan, and use this to cultivate dark feathers for their use. These Wing Clansmen have been tortured and tortured by him since childhood, in order to polish their self-will. Only those who willingly become his servants can be selected to be one of Darkfeather. ”

Gu Wanyi's face was gloomy, and Liu Qingxue hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Then who is this person?"

Suo Pingzhang said with a smile: "I naturally know it, but it is inconvenient to tell you, when you arrive in Shajiang City, you will definitely be able to solve the mystery." However, this person is very powerful in Shajiang City, and he has some grudges against me, so I tell you about it, and I hope to borrow your hands to help me get rid of this person, and it can be regarded as revenge for the Wing Clan. ”

Xiao Qihu asked suspiciously, "How do we know that what you said is true?"

"If I want to harm you, lead the army to surround this place, why bother to talk to you?"

Mu Changsheng tilted his head sideways and said to Xiao Qi: "This person is reasonable. His voice was very loud, and Suo Pingzhang heard it too, and showed a smile. Xiao Qi was still not at ease, and continued to ask, "Then why did you find us?"

Suo Pingzhang was not impatient, and patiently replied: "You are all outsiders, and you have never interfered in the affairs of Shajiang City, so you are the most secret weapon, if you use it well, it will be a sword that pierces the heart!" As he spoke, his eyes burst with excitement, and his gaze unconsciously glanced at Mu Changsheng.

"What do we need to do?" asked Liu Qingxue.

Suo Pingzhang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is more than this secret in Shajiang City, the water is very deep." When we see each other in Shajiang City, we should think about it in the long run. ”

Xiao Qi suddenly remembered the secret alliance between Shajiang City and Yunzhou, and wanted to ask, but saw Suo Pingzhang jumping down the hill with his people, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Mu Changsheng touched his stubble and said thoughtfully: "The powerful people in Shajiang City make him a general fearful, isn't it Di Yuan?"

Liu Qingxue nodded and said: "Even Brother Mu can think that although Suo Pingzhang doesn't want to say anything, he secretly pointed it out. ”

Mu Changsheng's eyes widened, pointed at himself and asked, "What do you mean that even I can think of ......?"

Gu Wanyi looked at the angry expression on Mu Changsheng's face, and a shallow smile appeared on her face that was originally slightly crying. She didn't want to bother speculating on the truth of what Suo Pingzhang said, she only felt that Suo Pingzhang had pointed out the direction for herself, and the revenge had a big extra help, so she couldn't help but feel comfortable, spread her wings and jumped forward, urging: "Whatever, hurry up!"

Xiao Qi looked at the snow-white shadow, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. It's just that he didn't notice that his smile was also reflected in the eyes of another person.
