Crossing the mountains, crossing the river, and running day and night for several days, Xu Yan and Si Shaokong actually arrived half a day earlier than expected.

The mountain type is steep and the vegetation is verdant.

Standing on the high Quxia cliff, Xu Ryan's heart was surging; At his feet, hundreds of feet of high mountains seemed to be split out of thin air, and a narrow opening spread into the invisible distance.

In the opening, a black line was moving slowly, and if you had good enough eyesight, you could see that it was not a black line, but black dots that were almost connected.

Xu Yan's guess was right, the enemy, sure enough, it was Quxia who went. But even so, he did not have the slightest joy; After all, everything hasn't started yet.

"Make a fire, make a meal"

Xu Yan slowly stepped back and whispered to the sergeant who was following closely behind him.

"Retreat to the shelter of the mountains and rocks to make food, don't burn the fire, find some more people, and fan the cooking smoke to the back with a big leaf." Si Shaokong replied again, and the order was much more detailed than Xu Rampant.

All the while, he was the more cautious one.

When Xu Rampant heard this, he grinned, faced Si Shaokong, and asked in a mocking tone, "Do you think what you did is meaningful?" ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Si Shaokong pursed his lips, raised his neck, and left with his hands behind his back. Most of them are still his soldiers, and they have their own important matters to deal with before the war.

"If you are still my subordinate, you will definitely be served by military law." Xu yelled, but there was not the slightest anger on his face.

He could understand Si Shaokong's approach, after all, it was indeed as he said, carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years; However, Xu Ryan even thought that Si Shaokong was a little too careful. Now, what if there is wolf smoke all over the mountains? Can the enemy rush to the peak of hundreds of thousands? They were clogged in the mountain gorge, their movements were bloated, and they could not move back and forth, and even if they found an abnormality, there was no possibility of retreating.

If the enemy is not worried for the time being, why be overly cautious and delay time? After all, every extra moment of waiting, a small group of people will arrive in Zhiyang......

Zhiyang

Everyone's faces were sallow, and many of the soldiers defending the city were almost unsteady. These days are windy, three steamed buns a day, a bowl of porridge quota (the sergeants are slightly more than the people), it is really not enough to support the consumption of a whole day.

The most important thing is not only hunger, but also fear!

Yes, a lonely city, with 7,000 defenders in it, even if you add the people, the number is far less than 100,000! The comparison of the military strength of the two sides is more than ten times worse? Who can be fearless in the face of such a situation?

The thought of surrender rose in everyone's mind, and even if they didn't say it, their hearts were full of anticipation.

As the person in charge of Zhiyang City today, Xu Sheng knows all this; He didn't blame anyone, and even felt that they were right.

Survival is everyone's nature, as for whether it is a subject of the imperial court or the head of the Fan Chuan army, what does it matter?

"Lao Li"

Xu Sheng, who was standing in a daze, suddenly spoke, and Captain Li behind him was startled, and before he could salute and answer, Xu Sheng's heavy and hoarse voice had already reached his ears: "How much food do we have?" ”

"This..."Captain Li was stunned, about food, it was the last thing he wanted to mention at the moment, and it was also the question he was most afraid of Xu Sheng asking.

"Say it quickly."

Xu Sheng's voice was flat, but there was an irresistible majesty in it. These days, even if he doesn't want to, he's adapting to his new identity.

"Two Days"

Captain Li gritted his teeth and said, lowering his head, not daring to look directly at Xu Sheng.

"Two Days"

Xu Sheng whispered, and then without speaking, he continued to stand in place, his eyes passed through the streets and alleys with the blessing of the "invisible secret power", and saw the shocking scenes that he couldn't bear to look at.

The people are yellow-skinned and thin, staggering; The soldier was armed with a spear, laboriously braced, and staggered; The little child clutched his stomach and wept in his mother's arms; The dead old man is rotten at home, and there is no one to clean it up......

Zhiyang City.

It's going to hell!

Xu Sheng knew that if he persevered, then this place would soon become a complete and true hell.

"I... Tired"

Xu Sheng couldn't watch it anymore, although he had gone through many things, his heart was still as soft and fragile as before.

He said he was tired, he was really tired, and he hadn't slept for a long time under the tremendous pressure.

"Immortal..."Captain Li wanted to say something, but Xu Sheng ignored him, just straightened up, walked with an expressionless face, and took care of himself.

Walking, walking, walking, Xu Sheng couldn't help but walk to the one-foot alley where the old man who bought baked cakes lived. The alley, which was already gloomy and quiet, is now quieter.

"Squeak"

Xu Sheng pushed open the door and looked at the weeds in the courtyard, and his heart was also in a mess.

He walked, stepping on the weeds, stepping over the anthill, leveling the sand, and into the little shed in a corner.

Now, lying across him was a coffin—the coffin that the old man had left for himself.

Before, Xu Sheng thought that the coffin was dilapidated and thin, and it took a lot of effort to find a slightly better one; The coffin that was supposed to be the old man's coffin was now abandoned, and if there was no accident, it would have been placed here until it slowly rotted and dissipated into ashes under the influence of the rules of heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

I only heard a sound, and it was Xu Sheng who jumped into the coffin. He lay flat, expressionless, as if dead; At this moment, for some reason, in the coffin, he experienced a long-lost peace.

Tired!

Tired!

Xu Sheng didn't have too many thoughts, his mind was blank, and soon, drowsiness swelled up, crushing his eyes......

The heavens and the earth are white, and there is nothingness

Xu Sheng looked at everything around him in amazement, his expression shocked; He never expected that after a year, he would return to this place - the place where he and Mu Huaijin once met.

Originally, he thought he would never come again in this life.

"It's still the same place, but can I still run into him?" Xu Sheng asked himself, feeling melancholy.

Mu Huaijin, who had the same face as him, had already become a concern in his heart. That person once taught him the "Law of All Responses", and also poured out his heart to him with tears; Before he knew it, Xu Sheng had taken him as a friend—the only friend in his withdrawn life.

Xu Sheng walked, the "invisible secret power" stared at his eyes, carefully probing everything around him; He's looking, looking for that person!

Suddenly, Xu Sheng's eyes lit up, in the boundless white world, a little dark blue... It's very conspicuous.

"Mu Huaijin!"

Xu Sheng couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted; But at the same time, questions also rose in his heart: Doesn't Mu Huaijin like black the most, why do I see a little dark blue, is it not alone?

Xu Shengxin has a lot of guesses, but his pace does not stop; Yes or no, it needs his verification.

Since the last time, after he said goodbye to Mu Huaijin, he has been faintly aware that he will never see each other again in this life; But at the same time, there is still a trace of luck in his heart: maybe he will return to the time node before the fall of Daxu, and maybe Mu Huaijin did not die in the final war.

Although the possibility of that is very small, don't human beings always retain the greatest kindness and the best expectations when their hopes are faint?

It's close! It's close!

As Xu Sheng got closer, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and his wheezing sound became more and more rapid. Soon, he will meet his "old friend"; Or, empty rejoicing.

"Whew!"

Xu Sheng didn't wait for the mystery to be revealed, he waited for a sword qi!

"Bang!"

The "invisible secret power" was vented, and the sharp sword was hastily blocked.

"Who are you?"

At the moment when Xu Sheng had just stabilized his figure, a domineering voice came into his ears; He stared intently, and a dark blue figure slowly turned around, revealing a face.

The face is exactly the same as Mu Huaijin, and the face is exactly the same as himself!

Although it was very similar, Xu Sheng knew that he was not Mu Huaijin, and it could never be.

Mu Huaijin didn't have a domineering voice like him, and he didn't have the strength to make him embarrassed with a casual sword qi. If Mu Huaijin hadn't fallen with the Daxu Dynasty, he would have survived and improved his strength; Then, he will never fail to recognize himself.

"Who are you?"

Xu Sheng also asked the same question, and in his heart, sadness and doubt rose at the same time. The sad thing is that the person in front of him is not Mu Huaijin, and the confusion is how many people have the same appearance as himself.

"I am the Jing'an Gong of the DJI Dynasty, the nine counties of Shiyi, the world guards Pingzhou, and the general of Yongzhen in the Northwest is also." The voice unveiled the roof tiles, his expression was arrogant, his chest was shaken, and his momentum was self-generated.

DJI Dynasty!?

Xu Sheng listened to the man's words, and only had doubts in his heart, in his memory, there had never been a DJI dynasty, at least it was definitely not mentioned in the "Jing History".

"DJI!? Is it a long past, or an ethereal future? Xu Sheng muttered to himself, his voice low.

"What do you say? What is the past and the future? You're not from DJI, so report your identity quickly. The man's eyes were horizontal, staring straight at Xu Sheng, and the coercion gradually rose.

"Me?" Xu Sheng pointed at himself, then smiled bitterly, and said softly: "Zhao Xu Sheng, the village man." ”

"What!?"

The man thought he had misheard and asked again, but Xu Sheng only shook his head and did not answer.

"What a bold man to ignore me." The man snorted coldly, didn't talk nonsense, and flicked his sleeves, "Huh! Shout! Shout! Several sword qi burst out in unison.

"Bang!"

Xu Sheng was in pain, and the "Invisible Secret Power" held up a barrier in front of him, barely blocking the fierce sword qi, he took a deep breath, and said angrily with cold eyes: "You are so angry. ”

"Noise!"

The man looked cold, took a step forward, his long sleeves tightened, and his two fists swung together.

"Boom!"

This time, Xu Sheng couldn't resist it, and the "invisible secret power" was scattered and defeated in the hunting boxing wind; And he himself, like a kite with a broken string, glided dozens of feet in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Xu Sheng's face turned pale. If it weren't for the "relics" exercise, he would have exploded if he had protected his internal organs and meridians just now.

"What a terrible strength." Xu Sheng wiped the bright red from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were gloomy. The person in front of him beat him like this with his fists alone, and his strength was far above that Qin Lie, comparable to the strange man of the Xu family and his teacher "Hanshan". He is no match for what he is doing now.

"Invisible source qi, sure enough." The man teleported to Xu Sheng's approach and said condescendingly: "Boy, you still say that you are not from DJI, and the 'invisible source qi' in your body is unique to my DJI royal family, but in my memory, there is no such person as you." What is your intention to appear in this strange place with the same face as me? ”

"I've been here before, and I don't know much about this place than you do, but if you want, I can tell you about my previous experience." Xu Shengqiang supported his body and stood up slowly, with a painful look on his face, but his eyes were blazing.

"Okay, let's talk about it." The man looked coldly, stretched out a finger, put it on Xu Sheng's forehead, and said indifferently: "If you dare to talk nonsense, you will deceive me and die!" ”

A deep sense of crisis surfaced in Xu Sheng's heart, he closed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "You and I are both insiders, I don't need to lie to you." ”
