Sun Poyun's death made Shao Xi grief in his heart, and Shao Xi only felt stunned at this time.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu in Zhiqiu Town, the two of them also regarded themselves as confidants soon after they met him, and regarded each other as their best friends.

Although Sun Poyun is quiet and low-key on weekdays, he is not as graceful as Ruan Haoyang, and his poetry is brilliant, but he is a reasonable person, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

From the moment he agreed to walk with him, Shao Xi knew that they could become friends and even confidants.

And now, Sun Poyun has proved to Shao Xi with his actions what it means to "die for a confidant".

Originally, from Sun Poyun's position, it was enough for him to ensure Aliya's safety, but in the end, he sacrificed his life for himself.

He said that he had never broken his trust in the business he had taken over, and that he had never had a friend, but he had only done half of the business before he died for his friend.

Shao Xi suddenly felt very guilty, if it weren't for his appearance, if he hadn't invited him to go with the caravan, maybe he would have easily escaped with Alia alone.

But in the end, in order to cover the caravan, in order to cover himself, he paid a price that he did not have to pay.

Just because now in his eyes, this is no longer a deal, this time he met the woman who moved at the center of his life, and also met the friend he regarded as a confidant in his life.

Shao Xi looked at the poem carved on the stone and read it for a long time.

"Brother Sun, I will definitely do the last thing you ask you to do, and I will send Princess Alia to his father's side safely.

"I will also let the old king take out a penny of the remuneration for this business, and exchange it all for fine wine and send it to you, and then you and my brother will drink it again."

After speaking, Shao Xi stuck the ring-headed knife in his hand in front of the stone, just as he had inserted Ruan Haoyang's sword in front of his grave.

Back then, Chu Yunhe once said to himself that weapons are the last dignity of Jianghu people, so Shao Xi will leave this last dignity for his friends every time.

Lao Wu, who was standing behind Shao Xi, stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Young master, I told you back then, the old man, the rivers and lakes are like this, either you kill others, or others kill you, everyone who walks on the rivers and lakes is like this, this is the final destination of the people in the rivers and lakes, you should get used to it."

Shao Xi sighed and nodded lightly.

He knew that Lao Wu said this just to help him alleviate some guilt, but what Shao Xi couldn't let go of was why every time the people around him were in trouble, he always found himself so incompetent and powerless?

Ye Ziyuan is like this, Ruan Haoyang is like this, Ye Zhiqiu is like this, and Sun Poyun is still like this today, either he is powerless to save him, or he is burdening others for himself.

Sometimes Shao Xi feels like a plague god, why are the people around him always inexplicably unlucky?

Shao Xi's biggest wish in this life is to protect the people around him and take care of the people around him, but every time it always backfires.

"Old Wu, am I very incompetent? Will anyone who is related to me be affected by me? ”

"Young master, what stupid thing are you talking about? You've done a great job, and who's to say you're incompetent?

"Me, Ning'er, Miss Mei, and the students in the world who can afford to read because of you and those children in the school, which one doesn't benefit because of you? Many people wouldn't be where they are today without you.

"Things in this world can't be perfect, you can't take good care of everyone, some things are just done well, don't worry too much about the result."

Shao Xi's expression was still a little depressed.

"But did I really do my best? Am I not doing enough? Maybe I could have done better. ”

Lao Wu looked at Shao Xi with a solemn expression, he knew that Shao Xi was beginning to doubt himself.

"You shouldn't ask me these questions, ask yourself well, but I hope the young master can understand one thing, if you want to take better care of the people around you, you must first learn to take care of yourself.

"Self-blame and decadence will not make you stronger, you can only make yourself stronger, only by taking care of yourself first, can you have the ability to help others, protect others, and take care of others."

Shao Xi was silent for a long time in the face of the stone, as if he was savoring the words that Lao Wu had just said in his heart.

Yes, Lao Wu is right, if you can't make yourself stronger, you can't talk about protecting others and taking care of others.

Just like today, if he is really strong enough, how can he cause Sun Poyun to die for himself?

So the only way is to make yourself stronger, so that you will no longer be a burden and a burden to the people around you.

Shao Xi understood for the first time that just cultivating martial arts well was not really strong, he had to have enough strength, and he also had enough power to make those pretenders of interest deeply jealous of him, and even fearful.

Only then will we not have to face the same situation as we do today.

There are too many injustices in this world, maybe he can't manage it at all, but when he encounters it, Shao Xi hopes that he has enough ability to stand up.

There was a time when Shao Xi felt that he could do anything, but in the end, he found that there were too few things he could do.

Powerful! Shao Xi has never been as strong as he is today, strong enough to protect the people he wants to protect, strong enough not to have to let others sacrifice for him.

"I will become stronger, and I will make those who have hurt my relatives and friends pay the price, whether it is the Ten Thousand Swords Gate or the Ghost Emperor Mansion and the forces behind them, including the royal family of the White Night Country, all those who have hurt the people around me, I will make them repay it double, and I will never discount it."

Shao Xi said this to himself, and was about to turn to leave, but saw a short figure rushing to the stone, and pulled out the ring-headed knife that he had just inserted into the ground.

"Little one, why didn't you go back to the barracks with your sister? What are you going to do with this knife? ”

That figure was none other than Lu Yunxiang, who had followed Shao Xi all the way from the inn to here.

The strings in everyone's minds were tightened in the previous scuffle, and no one noticed the child.

Aliya was taken to the barracks by Sun Lichang, Shao Xi thought that the child would also go with him, but he didn't expect him to stay.

"Brother Shao, although I am only ten years old, I have seen everything you have done along the way, this Brother Sun is a hero, I want to be like him, I want to learn skills, and protect the people around me like him.

"My father is gone, Brother Sun is gone, I know that you will have to leave sooner or later, and there will be no one around me to protect me in the future, and there will be no one like Brother Sun to protect Sister Arya.

"So in the future, I will replace Brother Sun to protect Sister Alia, just like my father protected me, I don't want to be a burden to others anymore, I want to be the guardian of the people around me, and Brother Sun's knife will be my weapon in the future."

Shao Xi originally wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what he should say.

"That's fine, this child is not suitable to follow us, I think Princess Alia likes this child very much, and he needs someone to take care of him.

"If the princess is willing, it is better to let the princess recognize him as a younger brother and keep him by her side, so that the child can have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and does not have to run around with the caravan."

Lao Wu agreed very much with Lu Yunxiang's decision, just because this child's background is really pitiful, and he is too young, if he is allowed to follow the caravan to live those days of running around, Lao Wu is really a little sorry for this child.

Now that he can find another way out, Lao Wu is naturally happy to see Lu Yunxiang stay by Aliya's side.

After today's events, Alia must have been deeply hurt, and having this child by her side may be able to make her forget the pain of today as soon as possible.

At the same time, if this child stays in the royal family of Wuhai Kingdom, it can be regarded as a bitter end, and he can live a stable life in the future, since Lu Yunxiang is determined to learn some skills, the environment of the royal family may be more favorable to him.

Lao Wu took out a book from his arms and handed it to Lu Yunxiang, it was a knife book, and the words "Cloud Breaking Knife Method" were written on the book cover.

Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu in some surprise, and Lao Wu just smiled awkwardly.

"This is what I found when I changed the clothes of that grandson boy, and I originally planned to secretly leave it for you, but you have practiced swordsmanship for so many years, and now this kid has taken that grandson's knife, maybe this sword spectrum is more suitable for him!"

Hearing Lao Wu say this, Shao Xi also felt that there was nothing wrong, since Lu Yunxiang now took Sun Poyun's ring head knife, it was not a bad thing for him to inherit it along with Sun Poyun's knife technique.

Maybe Sun Poyun himself didn't expect that one day he would take in an apprentice after his death, and this apprentice would hold the ring-headed knife he once used to pass on his sword skills.

To some extent, this can be regarded as Sun Poyun living in this world in another form, right?

Shao Xi raised his hand and touched Lu Yunxiang's head, and said to him with some seriousness: "Since you have taken Brother Sun's knife and also taken his knife spectrum, you must learn your skills hard in the future."

"Cultivate this set of sword techniques well, don't live up to the two things that Brother Sun left you, and don't live up to your father's expectations for you?"

Lu Yunxiang looked at the ring-headed knife and the knife book in his hand, nodded silently, walked to Sun Poyun's grave and knelt on his knees, and seriously kowtowed three times to the stone.

Shao Xi couldn't help but nod when he saw it in his eyes, this kid was so sensible that it was distressing, even though he knew that his father could no longer live in this world, he still remembered what Lu Hu said to him before his death, and never shed a single tear.

This night was actually a worrying night, although there was the escort of the cavalry of the Wuhai Kingdom, but no one knew if the White Night Kingdom would die of it?

If they don't stop there, the night raid on the border may be their last chance.

Shao Xi and Lao Wu did not fall asleep steadily, but all meditated and practiced until dawn, but fortunately nothing happened this night.

After daybreak, everyone began to set off for the barracks.

After walking a long way, Shao Xi reined in his horse and looked back at Sun Poyun's burial place again.

Although only one night had passed, Shao Xi felt like a world away, the day before the caravan was full of jokes about Sun Poyun's women's clothes, but in one day he had been buried in the yellow sand and stayed here forever.

Lao Wu understood the sadness in Shao Xi's heart at this time, and just said flatly, "Let's go!" He will see if he has the opportunity to bring some good wine to him, and now that everyone has arrived safely in Wuhai Country, he will see it. ”

Shao Xi didn't speak, and took one last look at the stone and the words carved by himself on it, although he couldn't see it clearly, but it was the last thing he left for Sun Poyun after all.

Turning the horse's head, Shao Xi took Lao Wu, Fu Biao and Wu Qiu'er, together with Lu Yunxiang, and rode all the way towards the military camp of the Wuhai State cavalry.

In the vast and vast desert, only the huge stone and the words engraved on the stone remained, as well as Sun Poyun buried below.

Occasionally, an eagle falcon flew in the vast sky, and the cry seemed to mourn the loss of life in the desert......

When Shao Xi and the others returned to the barracks with the hundred cavalrymen, Alia had already woken up.

Shao Xi asked Sun Lichang outside the tent about Alia's situation, and Sun Lichang told Shao Xi that he had asked a military Chinese medicine practitioner for diagnosis and treatment, and Princess Alia was fine, but she fainted in a hurry.

But now that he has woken up, his body is still weak, and he refuses to eat because he is too sad in his heart, and everyone is in a hurry at this time.

Sun Lichang hoped that Shao Xi could go in to comfort her, at least let her eat something, if anything went wrong before handing over the princess to the king, everyone couldn't afford it.

This Princess Aria is the jewel of King Megid of Wuhai, the flesh of her heart.

After this toss, he was already physically and mentally emaciated, although he heard that King McGeed was a reasonable person, but his most beloved daughter was like this, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not be angry with the caravan and Shao Xi and others.

As Sun Poyun's friend, only Shao Xi can persuade her now, hoping that she can take care of her body and eat something, so that she can be safely sent back to Wuhai City, the capital of Wuhai Kingdom.

Shao Xi himself also felt a little headache about this matter, not to mention that he and Aliya were actually not particularly familiar, just the death of Sun Poyun, he didn't know how to explain to Aliya.

After all, before Sun Poyun's death, Shao Xi opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call the two friends, but at the moment of life and death yesterday, Sun Poyun chose to sacrifice himself, but Shao Xi chose to evacuate.

Although a discerning person can see at a glance that under the circumstances at that time, there was no problem with the choice made by Shao Xi, but feelings are not rational in the first place, how can he tell these truths to a woman who has lost her beloved?

Not to mention Alia, even Shao Xi himself has not been able to pass this level in his heart so far.

Regardless of whether the decision he made at that time was right or wrong, as a friend, he left Sun Poyun alone in a mortal place, but he chose to escape, from an emotional point of view, Shao Xi couldn't forgive himself, let alone Alia?

But now only Shao Xi can do this, if he doesn't persuade him, I'm afraid that there will really be no one who can persuade this princess.

Shao Xi sighed, asked everyone else to wait outside the tent, and took Lao Wu to see the princess.

When Shao Xi walked into the tent with apprehension, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scene in front of him!
