Following.

Ye Xi and his party were riding on horses, the horses neighed, raising a puff of dust, and the figure gradually drifted away and disappeared on the official road.

A group of black-clothed people were shrouded in black robes, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the black-clothed people who took the lead gestured, and the speed of the black-clothed people was almost the same as the speed of Ye Xi and the others riding horses, and they caught up.

More than a dozen black-clothed people surrounded Ye Xi and the others inside.

Yan Xiaoliu's face was vigilant, and he protected Ye Xi behind him.

These people are naturally Shadowguards.

Mo Yu's eyes were as cold as frost.

More than ten shadow guards represent more than ten True Qi martial artists, even if Mo Yu is strong enough, but with so many people, he is exhausted to deal with two alone.

More than ten, even one person and one move are enough to be tired of coping.

Ye Xi took out his waist card: "I know you are the Shadow Guard, get out of the way for me immediately." ”

He wanted to see if these people were really determined to catch the shadow.

More than a dozen shadow guards knelt down on one knee: "I've seen Your Highness." ”

The Shadow Guard only accepts orders from the Emperor and is only loyal to the Emperor, even in the face of the Crown Prince, they do not need to kneel.

But before setting off this time, he had already said that the Fifth Highness was extremely important, not to hurt him, if Ye Xi was in danger, he had to protect him as much as possible, even if they were all dead, Ye Xi could not die.

Seeing Ye Xiru seeing the emperor himself.

That's why they knelt down.

Ying looked surprised, Ye Xi turned around and smiled at him, telling him to feel at ease.

"Get up, why are you arresting him?" Ye Xi pretended not to know.

The black-clothed man in the lead voice was low: "He is a barbarian man, a key criminal appointed by His Majesty, and he does not dare to make a move against His Highness, and I hope His Highness will hand this person over to us." ”

"What happened after I handed it over to you. Ye Xi looked at him and said, "Are you going to kill him?"

"No, this person is an extremely important person of the barbarians, and he must be treated like a guest, and I think His Highness also knows about the Purple Night Fortress, and this person is the best bargaining chip for my Chu State to take back the Purple Night Fortress. ”

"Good. Ye Xi lowered his head and pondered.

He rode to Shadow's side and whispered, "Are you sure your father is willing to trade you for the Purple Night Fortress?"

Ying nodded: "There is one thing on my body that is extremely important to the barbarians, and my father also loves me the most, I am 100% sure." ”

"That's good. Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then are you willing to go with them?" If you don't want to, I can ask Mo Yu to take you away, as long as I block them, they will never dare to attack me, and you can escape at that time." ”

Ye Xi's eyes were clear.

Looking at Ye Xi's eyes, Ying nodded firmly: "I'm willing to follow them away." ”

He knew that even if those people wouldn't hurt Ye Xi, Ye Xi would inevitably have some trouble, and his identity was there.

Ye Xi patted his shoulder: "You are leaving, I don't know when we will be able to meet, I just hope you don't forget us." ”

Ying knew that he would never forget this period of life, it was the most free and worry-free period.

It will be the most beautiful memory of his life.

Take out the wine and take a sip of it.

Ying left, and Ye Xi and the four of them changed back to three people.

Although Ying has never had a sense of existence, he talks a lot, and he doesn't know anything, but he is full of curiosity about everything.

Although Yan Xiaoliu was sometimes very irritated by his questions, he was suddenly less than one person, and he was really a little unaccustomed.

Riding a horse, it is still in the boundary of Youzhou, if you hurry up, I am afraid it will take five days to reach the boundary of Jingzhou, that is the last province, after Jingzhou, it is getting closer and closer to the southwest.

・・・・・・

・・・・・・

The shadow is like a guest, and his clothes are also changed into the finest silk brocade clothes, and he is served by someone every day when he eats and drinks.

He also specially arranged for two maids to serve him.

Sitting in the carriage, the space in the carriage is extremely large, and sitting in it, you will not feel bumpy at all.

He didn't have this kind of treatment when he was a barbarian.

The barbarians did not have such good silk and such good wine.

The two maids rubbed his shoulders for him, he didn't speak, and the two maids naturally didn't dare to speak.

He is now feeling that his strength is regaining little by little.

Ying has been able to think about what will happen after returning to the barbarians, his brother is really "good" to himself, and it seems that he has to repay it to be able to show his heart.

For those who are good to him, he will repay them a hundredfold, and for those who are not good to himself, he will also repay them a hundred times.

This is the child who grew up in the family of the emperor.

Especially the barbarians, the world where martial arts are respected, without great strength, no one in this world will look up to you.

Although his father is very fond of him, there are so many sons in him, and there are many who are gone.

If it weren't for the fact that he had something extremely important to the barbarians, would he have come to save himself?

The answer is that Shadow doesn't want to think about it.

He knew that if he thought about it, his heart would become even colder.

Thinking of this, he thought of Ye Xi and the others, even when they didn't know their true identity, they were very good to themselves, even if it was a stranger, and they didn't even know if the other party was a good person or a bad person.

At that time, he always wondered, why are they so easy to trust people so much, don't they know that this world is a very cruel world?

No matter what time it is, although Shadow pretends to be indifferent on the surface, he always maintains a vigilance.

But as they got along for more and more time, he realized that Ye Xi and the others were really not wary of him at all.

Besides, after knowing his true identity, he didn't have any more mustard because of this, and it was still the same as before.

Shadow's heart, he found that his heart was not as hard as before.

Maybe that's what the book says about what it's like to be a friend.

Thinking, thinking, lying in the comfortable carriage, the shadow fell into a deep sleep.

The time for the Shadow Guard to hurry was extremely fast, and he had been walking on the official road, but in just seven days, he had already arrived in Jian'an City.

Standing outside the city wall of Jian'an, it is really majestic, and a pride also rises in the depths of Ying's heart.

This is the real posture of a great power.

When Ying saw the emperor of Chu, even if he rested there with his eyes closed, Ying's soul also had a trembling feeling.

Jian'an City didn't know how many times richer than the barbarian capital, and the more he knew, the more frightened he became.

How could such a big country be shaken by its own barbarians.

Shadow bent down: "Meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Get up. Ye Wenhao smiled: "Is the prince still satisfied along the way?"

"Satisfied. Shadow replied.

Does he dare to say dissatisfied?

"Is the prince homesick?"

"Yes. ”

Ye Wenhao seemed to be very satisfied with Ying's answer, and then said: "I have sent someone to arrange an envoy to tell your father your news, and your father has sent a letter saying that he misses you very much and hopes to meet you soon." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Ei's heart was sneering.

"We will arrange a time for His Royal Highness the Prince to return home as soon as possible. Ye Wenhao said: "The prince might as well taste the food we went abroad, compared to the barbarians." ”

"The food of Chu is better than my barbarians, but I have been accustomed to eating barbarian tastes since I was a child, and I still miss the taste of home in my heart. ”

Ye Wenhao narrowed his eyes.

・・・・・・

・・・・・・

Less than two hundred miles from the Purple Night Fortress, there were 30,000 soldiers of the Chu State stationed here, and the tents were next to each other, and the fire was bright.

Soldiers patrolling back and forth vigilantly guarded the surroundings.

There were traces of blood on all of them, and it hadn't been long since the Great War had just been experienced.

The wounded are being taken for treatment.

This is the tent of the supreme general, Yun Jin, the leading general of the Northwest Frontier Army, when he first came, naturally some people were not convinced, Yun Jin was still so young after all, but because his grandfather and father were all famous generals of the Chu State, and these people used to be his father's subordinates.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Yun Jin's fact that he became a general at such a young age, and he also commanded his own life and death brothers who followed his father from birth to death for an unknown number of years, but because of Yun Jin's identity, they naturally wouldn't say anything, and they wouldn't give Yun Jin any stumbling blocks.

But they were not convinced, they could see what they said and did, and when they looked at themselves, there was a faint disdain in their eyes, and Yun Jin naturally knew.

He also understands this, he is indeed too young.

But he used his strength to tell them that they should never underestimate the men of the Yun family.

Those who are not convinced are those senior generals, Yun Jin was born in a military family, and he has been familiar with military books and tactics since he was a child, and he is under the pressure of his grandfather and father, and he deduces and practices one at a time.

He used his troops to become obsessed, and it took almost a month to go through more than a dozen battles, almost all of which ended in the victory of the Chu State.

But the Purple Night Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack after all.

After so many days, it still hasn't been taken, I don't know how long the battle will last, there are injuries on both sides, fortunately, the casualties are not large.

Of the 35,000 wounded, there are only 3,623 wounded in the Chu State so far.

The death toll was five hundred.

Compared with the barbarians, the state of Chu can be called unscathed in this regard.

Yun Jin will never hide behind the soldiers, he will only rush to the front, who would have thought that the son and brother in Jian'an City would be on the battlefield, just like a person.

Perhaps, this is the blood of the Yun family.

They are born to belong to the battlefield.

He would not say to his soldiers, "Give me up, he only said follow me."

Now I don't know how many people in the army revere this young man who is only twenty years old.

At this moment, Yun Jin was sitting on the temporary table and chair in the tent, the armor on his body had not been removed, and his hair was a little messy.

Even when you enter this tent, you can smell the strong smell of blood, you can imagine how many people Yun Jin has killed, and there is such a strong smell of blood on the armor.

I don't know how many days my hair hasn't been washed, and the strands are hanging down on my forehead, and at this moment he is looking at the array on the table.

If Ye Xi saw Yun Jin like this, he would definitely exclaim loudly, this is still the Yun Jin he knows, is this still his best brother?

Yun Jin's resolute face, a face that is enough to fascinate thousands of girls, is a faint scar at this moment.

It extends from the eye area to the bottom of the left cheek.

He was meditating, as if nothing in this world could disturb him in his contemplation.

There was only one scar on his face, which was left by a young general of the barbarian tribe.

There are more than a dozen scars on his body.

But he knew that these were nothing, and once he saw the scars on his grandfather's body, and his whole body was densely covered with knife wounds, marks left by sword wounds.
