Chapter 55: Leaving the City
When parting, sadness is always inevitable.
As early as five days ago, Muyang explained other things to Sisi.
Border people are born with a bold personality, they are used to killing and death on weekdays, and they don't feel too sad about parting, especially when they learned that Muyang left to go to Kaiyang City to find someone to learn more advanced cultivation secret arts, everyone sent their most sincere blessings.
In order to avoid those famous families who set up banquets and proposed relatives from coming to the door to entangle after getting the news, Sisi dealt with it very secretly. She first went to Cuiyun Building to accompany Aunt Feng and Feng Sanniang for a long time, thanking them for their life-saving grace half a year ago, although she and Muyang could live even if they didn't have those few pills, but that friendship needs to be remembered.
To be a man, you must know how to be grateful.
The next day, Sisi came to the blacksmith shop with a large box, which contained half a box of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a few books of cultivation cheats carefully selected by Muyang, and stayed in the blacksmith shop for two hours.
On the third day, Sisi spent time in the vegetable market. She gave a few more green onions when she bought vegetables in the past six months, and gave half a bone when she bought meat, and when she returned to the small courtyard, the bulging pockets supported by the silver ticket had been completely deflated.
On the fourth day, Sisi went to the City Lord's Mansion. This time she brought Ye Yu with her.
Since getting the five-leaf golden lotus, this big grinning, somewhat rough and unruly county lord has become happier than before, Sisi took her to the city lord's mansion The ostensible reason is to coordinate the contradictions between Ge Tianbing and her, after all, putting a county lord in a prison cell for three days and three nights is enough to be destroyed in any vassal state. When Ye Yu was taken to the backyard pond to play with turtles by a few maids, Sisi said the true meaning - she and Muyang hoped that Ge Tianbing could send someone to help Ye Yu find his brother Ye Xing, who was killing the demon army in the border desert.
In fact, before confirming the identity of Ye Yu's county lord, Ge Tianbing already knew that she came to the border to find some brother, but he didn't believe it at that time. Now that he heard Sisi make a special trip to the City Lord's Mansion to mention this matter, although there were still many doubts about Ye Yu's statement that he secretly ran away from home, he still accepted it.
Speaking from the heart, this county lord is quite good in other aspects, except for his temper and chest, and he wants to destroy the whole family at every turn, at least, he is a rare beauty. If he can take the opportunity to get in touch with King Han, there will be many unforeseeable opportunities and benefits for him and the entire Black Rock City in the future.
On the fifth day, Sisi didn't visit the door, she took Ye Yu around Black Rock City, and when she got home, the carriage behind her was already stuffed with large and small burdens. There were clothes, food, and some rouge gouache that she wanted to buy but couldn't afford on weekdays.
With Sisi's help, Mu Yang was finally able to devote himself to the practice of the Runic Star Armor.
After breakfast on the sixth day, an inconspicuous four-wheeled carriage was sandwiched between the passing caravan hunting caravans and headed south of the city.
Mu Yang was dressed in a blue cotton robe, with a gray hat on his head that is necessary for border residents to protect from the wind and sand, and carried a slender package behind him, sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage while shaking the whip in his hand while looking around.
Ge Tianbing and the soldiers in the city who knew each other did not come out to see them off. At last night's banquet, Ye Yu, who was drunk and cried for half the night holding Sisi's hand, was still sleeping with her head covered in Feng Sanniang's bedroom, and when she woke up, the reluctance and sadness would soon fade away.
Under Muyang's stern reprimand, the more than 40 ruffians who had followed him for nearly half a year in the south of the city did not show up, but in the streets and alleys, in the corners and eaves of the walls and alleys, a few familiar faces with reluctant faces would be revealed from time to time.
The carriage drove out of the city gate with the crowd and went all the way south, the speed of the car was not fast, and it was not until after walking more than ten miles that Muyang took off his hat and shouted to the carriage behind him.
"Come out, don't put up with it. ”
The carriage door opened, and Sisi emerged from it like a sensitive kitten. She sat down next to Mu Yang, looking at the sparse flow of people and the convoy around her, her pretty little face was full of novelty and excitement, and asked, "When will you be able to get to Kaiyang?"
"If nothing else, it could take two months. Mu Yang stretched out his hand and pulled the few strands of hair covering Sisi's face behind his head, "Now the demon army is killing people everywhere on the border in order to find the statue of the demon god, the location of Black Rock City is remote, and it is safe, and it is difficult to say if you go further south." ”
Sisi stroked his hair that had completely turned black and said nonchalantly: "The blood poison in my body has been expelled, if you encounter the demon army, they will be unlucky." ”
Looking at the brilliance in Sisi's beautiful eyes, Muyang shook his head helplessly, "Don't make a move unless necessary, girls kill people...... Not good. ”
Sisi pouted, snorted disappre一门ly, tilted his head, and gently leaned on Muyang's shoulder.
"The demon army killed my father and the villagers on the island, and I want to avenge them. ”
"Then I don't want to see you kill. Glancing at a few drifting clouds floating in the sky in the distance, Mu Yang's voice gradually cooled down, "Even if you want to kill, you have to wait until later, with our current strength, even if we can kill, how many can we kill?" ”
Sisi's face suddenly became a little ugly, she gently held Muyang's hand, and the picture in the rainy night half a year ago appeared in front of her eyes.
In the picture, Mu Yang was covered in blood, kneeling on his knees, standing in the sea of corpses and blood facing the void and roaring from the depths of the divine soul: I, Mu Yang, hereby swear in the name of the gods of the heavenly realm that in my lifetime, I will take millions of iron horsemen, step on the demon territory, wash the demon domain with blood, sacrifice the innocent lives who died tragically today with the soul and blood of tens of millions of demons, and mention the head of the seven demon lords to avenge the master and sister......
The speed of the carriage was slowly accelerating, and the two people in the carriage did not speak again, only the moaning sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the air, seeing more and more caravans being left behind, feeling the cool breeze blowing in his face, Muyang reached out and took Sisi into his arms, and gently hummed a nursery rhyme that circulated on the island.
"The small locust tree, bearing cherries, and the willow tree bearing peppers, blowing drums, playing trumpets, carrying a cart and carrying a sedan ......"
Sisi leaned in Muyang's arms, her thoughts seemed to be brought back to a few years ago by the familiar songs, and she hummed unconsciously, and a sweet smile gradually appeared on her quiet little face.
Accidents always seem to happen when you least expect them.
Just when Mu Yang Sisi was immersed in the memories of his childhood, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of him, through the dust and ashes flying up, he could see that three red horses were galloping forward, Mu Yang raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, focused on the talent running on his own, and when he saw the rider on horseback, his face suddenly changed, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?" Sensing Muyang's changes, Sisi also looked ahead.
"It seems to be Lao Ge's subordinates. Mu Yang's eyes narrowed into a line, and the scene in the distance quickly became clear in his perception, "Yes, it's the war horse of the defenders, huh? Why is there only one cavalry on three horses...... Like, I was injured. ”
Just when Mu Yang was puzzled, three war horses rolled up a strong wind and swept past him thirty meters away, and the cavalryman lying on horseback suddenly rolled to the ground for some reason, and the well-trained war horse let out a neigh, and stopped after running out dozens of meters.
The sudden scene attracted the eyes of the only remaining group of travelers on the road, and they only glanced at it a few times, but no one stopped to check. One of the secrets to surviving on the war-torn frontier is to be less nosy.
Mu Yang's hand grabbed the horse's reins and tightened back, and the carriage slowly stopped. He handed the whip to Sisi, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the soldier who was lying motionless on the ground, and when he was still more than ten meters away, he saw the red light armor on the city guard and a sharp arrow stuck in his thigh.
"Qi Hu?"
Walking closer, when he saw the person's appearance clearly, Mu Yang let out an exclamation in disbelief.
