Xiao Yu carried the sword box on his back, and with the golden body of the Bodhisattva carrying the coffin behind him, he returned to the Huang Hanji Department alone.

As soon as she approached Huang Hanjibu, a slender figure came out early, I don't know if it was because she had been waiting for many days, she was the first to find out that Xiao Yu had returned. It's also hard to associate her with her status as a princess on top of the sky.

Maybe it's because she's been recuperating well in the past few days, and the woman's face is much better now than when Xiao Yu left, revealing a ruddy glow in her white skin, and there is no trace of sickness.

The woman happily hugged Xiao Yu's neck, "You're back." ”

A smile bloomed on Xiao Yu's face: "Yes, I'm back." ”

The woman raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu's face, frowning: "Why is your face so ugly?"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly and said, "It's just that the loss of vitality is a little heavy, and Elder Bai of the Dao Sect gave me a talisman seal that solidifies the foundation of Peiyuan, and now there is no big problem." ”

Fortunately, Bai Liyin marked Xiao Yu with that cyan talisman seal, although Xiao Yu's face was very pale now, he finally lost that layer of dead gray.

Lin Yinping nodded suspiciously.

At this time, Lin Yinping also noticed the Bodhisattva's golden body behind Xiao Yu, as well as the coffin on the Bodhisattva's golden body.

Lin Yinping had seen this Bodhisattva's golden body, but the coffin made of golden silk nanmu on the Bodhisattva's golden body and extremely luxurious made her feel a little uneasy in her heart.

She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and smiled reluctantly, "What are you doing with the coffin in your hand?" ”

Xiao Yu's expression was a little stiff, "Silver screen ......"

Lin Yinping's heart became more and more uneasy, and she lowered her eyes, "By the way, what about Uncle Mu, didn't he come back with you?"

The two were silent, Lin Yinping's heart gradually sank, and there was no longer any joy when he first saw Xiao Yu.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yu said calmly: "I'm sorry." ”

Lin Yinping was already an extremely smart woman, and when she heard Xiao Yu's three words sorry, she already understood everything.

When the uneasiness in her heart finally became a reality, her whole body trembled, her shoulders trembled slightly, her head was lowered, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but tears flowed down her cheeks, "Why?"

Xiao Yu's lips trembled, and he stopped talking.

Lin Yinping covered her face with her hands, sobbed quietly, and her low whimper fell on Xiao Yu's heart like a heavy hammer, and she repeated the sentence over and over again.

"Why is my mother gone, my father gone, and now Uncle Mu is gone? What did I do wrong? Why is this?"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and hugged Lin Yinping into his arms, and comforted softly: "It's not your fault, it's just blame...... The way of the world. ”

Lin Yinping did not resist, but buried himself in Xiao Yu's arms with the momentum, and his low whimper became dull.

Xiao Yu hugged Lin Yinping and looked up at the sky, with deep tiredness on his face. This battle was too tiring.

The Bodhisattva's golden body quietly put the coffin on his shoulder on the ground, and he stood silently aside.

Xiao Yu looked at the gloomy canopy above his head, and gently hit Lin Yinping's back with his hand, his eyes were a little complicated. Speaking of which, Xiao Yu has an unshirkable responsibility for Mu Bai's death. Mu Bai said, and he did it.

Xiao Yu didn't plan to tell Lin Yinping about this, there were some things, but I still didn't know better.

Repaying him with death, Mu Bai will no longer owe Xiao Yu anything in the future, but Xiao Yu owes Mu Bai, Xiao Yu glanced at the coffin of Jin Sinan beside him, and said silently in his heart: "And go with peace of mind, I will not break my promise." ”

......

Kolco Department.

The captured royal cavalry were separated and guarded by the cavalry of the Kolko Department, and as for whether to kill or release, or stay, it also depends on Shen Dongzan's intentions.

This time, not only did the Corco Department defeat the royal court cavalry, but also a name also flowed out on the grassland, Princess Qingyue's concubine, Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu returned to Huang Hanji's department, Shen Dongzan, the Taiji of the Kolko department, who was comparable to Huang Hanji, met an old friend in his big tent who he hadn't seen for many years.

Lu Shixing, who was reduced to a prisoner, sat opposite Shen Dongzan, and sighed with emotion, probably because he had seen a lot of storms, and the old man who was already close to the age of sixteen was not so panicked, even in the face of Shen Dongzan, it was the same as when he was under Lin Yuan's tent.

Shen Dongzan took a sip of bright red wine and said with a smile: "What do you want to say about the defeat in this battle?"

Lu Shixing drank the liquor sold from the Central Plains, he let out a breath of wine, and said calmly: "Sword Sect child misunderstood me. ”

Regarding Lu Shixing's answer, Shen Dongzan was noncommittal, and continued to ask with a smile: "You Lu Shixing have no responsibility, or is the 40,000 cavalry of the royal court a monolith?"

Lu Shixing put down the wine glass in his hand, nodded and said: "To be honest, during this period of time, there was a miasma of smoke in the royal court, and the sweat was gone, and those few powerful old guys who were suppressed by the sweat are now starting to jump again, and no one is convinced by anyone, and their little abacus is loud, for fear of suffering a little loss, compared to the four of you, it is indeed far behind." ”

Shen Dongzan drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Back then, the Great Khan wanted to station four departments here, and I talked to you openly and honestly at that time, asking if you want to come here with me. How did you answer me? You said that you had been fighting for half your life, and you didn't want to fight anymore, and that this place was too close to Zhongdu, and that maybe one day you would have to fight, and that you would not be able to live, and that you would like to retire and enjoy leisure in the royal court, and now you have regretted it?"

Lu Shixing smiled freely, not pretentious, and nodded: "I regret it, I didn't expect the Great Khan to go so early, earlier than our old guys." ”

Shen Dongzan put down his wine glass, shook his head and sighed: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains? Yes, it is called Huiji must be injured, and the Great Khan is too smart, so he is ruthless." You see, Huang Hanji, this fox, is no more than two years old about me, and now he looks at least ten years older than me. But then again, you couldn't trust my vision at the time, you should have trusted Huang Hanji's vision, right?

Lu Shixing couldn't help nodding, among their group, Huang Hanji was indeed the one who saw the farthest, he was the first to respond to Lin Yuan to come to the grassland border to station, he was also the first to join forces with the Taoist Sect, and he was the first to accept the princess Lin Yinping.

Thinking of this, Lu Shixing sighed faintly: "I also kindly advise you, even if you win the royal court, eighty percent of the position of the king of the grassland will fall into the hands of the Xiao family boy supported by the Taoist sect, and then he will make a wedding dress for others." ”

Hearing this, Shen Dongzan laughed: "Lu Shi Xing, Lu Shi Xing, it seems that you have a lot of grievances against the horses." But what you say can't be regarded as nonsense, it's just that it's hard to say whether this wedding dress is the king of the grassland in the future, and that is also a matter for their little family, so we outsiders don't have to mix, as long as we give everything that should be given to us, who is not the king of the grassland?

For Shen Dongzan and these old people, the love between him and Lin Yuan is one thing, but the love can't be eaten, they are all old men in their fifties, almost sixty, and they have long lost the blood of young people, not to mention that there is a large family behind them, one is careless, his own death is small, and dragging his family is big to play, so the gains and losses of this benefit, as well as the risks, have to be considered like profiteers before they dare to make a move.

When the princess is in power, the four of them, who are far away from the royal court, will inevitably be marginalized, so if they want to maintain their current power, or even go further, they can only choose Lin Yinping, which is also one of the reasons why Lin Yuan left them to Lin Yinping as a follow-up before his death.

Now the gains and losses of interests have been clearly calculated, Da Zheng Houjian will not make much action because of his own problems, and the royal court is also a mess, and the cultivators have the Dao Sect, a strong dragon that crosses the river, what else is there to worry about? If they don't dare to make a move in such a situation, the four of them will really live for so much in vain.

Lu Shixing, who listened to Shen Dongzan's words word for word, sighed and stopped talking.

At this point, it is useless to say more.
