Chapter 53: The moon is the month of the year, and the people are far apart

Xu Huaigu took the unconscious Li Zi Imperial Sword to the north, and the scenery on the soles of his feet passed by in a flash. The movement of Yang Yun and Bingfeng fighting each other behind him was terrifying, but he didn't look back after all.

He knew in his heart that Yang Yun was determined to die. The difference between a realm is like a chasm, he is not Bingfeng's opponent, and he refuses to escape, he is afraid that he will die for a lifetime.

Thinking about the spirit of the so-called sword immortal, it should be like Yang Yun. He remembered what Zuoqiu Xun said back then, for no reason, when the Zixia Sect rescued him, she said, my sword cultivation has never been worthwhile, only willingness.

What a sword that is not worth it but is willing! Such a sword can be called chic, and only then can it have the spirit of sword cultivation!

After experiencing Yang Yun's sword today, Xu Huaigu has a deeper understanding of this sentence. When the flying sword drove to the top of the general wall, Xu Huaigu saw the dense military camp stationed below.

From west to east, it stretched for more than forty miles, and was full of troops ready to go. Xu Huaigu estimated that there were about 500,000 people here.

This is just a place to be stationed, and there are seven or eight more garrisons of this scale in the south of Dayu Kingdom, all of which are arranged in dangerous places where soldiers must fight.

The four countries of the Great Yu Kingdom, which had worked hard to gather a total of five million troops, were determined to die, even if the fish died, they insisted on breaking the net.

Xu Huaigu frowned, and his heart was sad. How many people should die in such a protracted war! How many families will be destroyed and displaced?

But this is an indisputable fact, even if Xu Huaigu is heartbroken, he can't stop the tide of the times.

The wall is full of troops, and the people have almost fled, and it is not worth staying. Xu Huaigu found Qi Shui and walked down the Qi Shui Imperial Sword.

He is going to Xingqing and make peace with Zhang Xiaohe there, after all, Xingqing is probably the safest place in the whole country for the time being.

Flying swords are not allowed to enter and leave the big city in the world, and Xu Huaigu fell in the woods outside Xingqing City. He carried Li Zi on his back and walked towards the city gate.

There was a long queue at the gates of the city, at least several hundred people, all waiting to enter the city. Although the official information has not been released, the large-scale movement of troops will inevitably go unnoticed, and perhaps these people also sensed the impending war in the south, so they all left their homes and fled here.

Although there were many people queuing up to enter the city, there were also many guards guarding the gate at the city gate. Xingqing was already overcrowded, and they received orders from above to no longer allow refugees to enter the city.

So the anxious queue became longer and longer, and the guards guarding the gate also had their difficulties, and they all raised their weapons to aim at the restless crowd, and the two sides were tense and quarrelsome.

This depressed scene was completely different from when Xu Huaigu first came to Xingqing, and he couldn't help but have a lot of feelings.

There is no way through the city gate, but Xu Huaigu is not an ordinary person, so he naturally has other ways. Li Zi on his back was still in a coma, and he had to quickly find a place for her to lie down and rest.

Xu Huaigu walked to the base of the city wall, he found a remote and uninhabited place, took out a shrinking talisman from the robe, injected a little aura, and immediately the figures of the two entered the city wall.

This shrinking talisman is also magical, and when Yu Qin was rescued from prison, he also relied on these talismans.

After many years, I used it again. Xingqing City was already full of people, and as soon as Xu Huaigu and Li Zi entered the city, they bumped into several refugees sitting on the ground.

Several of them were dumbfounded, watching Xu Huaigu suddenly appear in front of them as if they had seen a ghost.

Xu Huaigu ignored it and hurriedly walked towards the center of the city. He still remembered the Xianjia inn he stayed in back then, and the same one they had made with Zhang Xiaohe before, he had to go over as soon as possible.

Walking through the noisy streets and alleys, an inconspicuous inn appeared before his eyes. Luckily, there don't seem to be a lot of people here.

Xu Huaigu walked into the store, hurriedly took out a few small beads and put them on the counter, and said, "I want a room." The proprietress sitting behind the counter glanced at the small bead money, didn't reach out to take it, smiled, but said: "Guest officer, these years are not as good as in the past, a few small beads are the price of several years, and now the cheapest room is a big bead overnight." Xu Huaigu frowned slightly, took back the small bead money, and said, "So expensive? Where can the monks afford to live? The proprietress explained helplessly: "That's also something that can't be helped." Why don't you go outside and see how many immortal inns are opening in the entire Xingqing City? Those bosses were well-informed, each had their own way, and they all knew what was going to happen, so they all rolled up and fled, so the price went up. Xu Huaigu asked, "Then why don't you leave?" The proprietress said: "I'm leaving, won't the guest officer have no place to live?" Xu Huaigu snorted, he was just a black-hearted businessman who made a fortune, but he was too lazy to bother with her now.

Anyway, Xu Huaigu was not bad for money, so he asked her for a good room and paid to move in. He put Li Zi on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and fed her a few pills to help her recover.

Li Zi is just exhausted, and he will be fine after a good night's sleep, Xu Huaigu is not very worried about her situation, he is still thinking about the battle between Bingfeng and Yang Yun in Qingling.

Thinking that this battle has already come to an end, Yang Yun must be more than lucky, and Xu Huaigu is very unhappy.

But everything has to look forward, this battle is over, and the main event is still to come. Xu Huaigu knew that the court of Dayu Kingdom had made a lot of preparations for the invasion of the demon clan, and in recent years, it could be said that he had put everything else on hold, and only worked hard to resist the demon clan.

Xu Huaigu also had some expectations for what kind of battle Dayu Guo could play. Besides, there are still many of his old acquaintances in Xingqing City, such as Yijia, Pingcui, and Lin Cangyang, since they have returned to Xingqing, these old friends should also visit.

Xu Huaigu was ready to do it, but he had to wait for Li Zi to wake up first, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease.

He sat on the edge of Li Zi's bed and looked at her quietly. Li Zi's face was serene and peaceful, and he couldn't help but think of the things that the two of them experienced back then.

At that time, both of them were still stinky children, and they were able to walk out of Qingling under the leadership of Sun Xiang.

Suddenly, the white horse passed by, and twelve years seemed to be a flick of a finger, and the two met again, which was not very amazing, but it had already made Xu Huaigu very satisfied.

At least Li Zi is still the Li Zi of the year, and he is still the same person he was back then. Even though the years have eroded year after year, the shadow of courage and sincerity can still be clearly seen in them.

Outside the window, the sun gradually slanted to the west, and the remnant sun fell on the clouds like a terrible blood. Xu Huaigu sat on the edge of Li Zi's bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, and before he knew it, several hours had passed.

At night, there was a hurried knock at the door, Xu Huaigu only said that Zhang Xiaohe was here, and hurriedly opened the door, but saw that it was Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo outside the door.

It turned out that when Yang Yun was fighting with Bingfeng, and Xu Huaigu and Li Zi were helping each other with all their might, Jiang Chengcuo saw that the battle situation was not good, so he also retreated and ran into Xingqing City, and Bai Xiaoyu naturally followed.

Bai Xiaoyu was in the Demon Domain before, and he saw the ice phoenix flying to Qingling with his own eyes. It's just that although she also showed a demon body, her speed was still incomparable to that Bingfeng, so she was still a step late and couldn't report to them in time.

Xu Huaigu saw Bai Xiaoyu, quickly invited her into the house, and asked, "Sister Bai, how do you know that I am here?" Bai Xiaoyu looked anxious and said, "I have my own way, fortunately you didn't have an accident, but I'm worried about killing me." By the way, what about Li Zi, where is she? Xu Huaigu showed her Li Zi, who was still asleep on the bed, Bai Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward, took her pulse, and sniffed her face again, before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's not a big problem, it's just too tired." What the hell are you doing, how do you make her tired like this? Xu Huaigu sighed, and told them about helping Yang Yun.

After Bai Xiaoyu heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he blamed: "Confused, confused!" If there is a difference between such a dangerous thing and a half, both of you will be dead. If that Bing Feng's heart is more ruthless, or Yang Yun is not righteous enough, the two of you will die today, what should I do! Xu Huaigu knew that the reason why Bai Xiaoyu joined the Demon Sect back then was to protect him and Li Zi in the troubled times one day in the future, if they died, Bai Xiaoyu's plan for more than ten years would be all in vain, she was really angry today, and even Jiang Chengcuo on the side didn't dare to speak.

Xu Huaigu was in a dilemma and apologized to her for a long time, Bai Xiaoyu still frowned, and said: "You and Li Zi are both old and have their own ideas, I can't control it." Alas, let yourself go, but I still have to advise you, don't hope for the army of Dayu. As soon as the war started, Xu Huaigu, the Great Yu Congress, heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The two armies are facing each other, and the victory or defeat is not divided, how can you say this?" Isn't there something hidden in it? Bai Xiaoyu seemed to realize that he had said too much, so he pursed his lips and did not answer him.

But how smart is Xu Huaigu? With just such a small move, he understood that it must be the Demon Sect that had a plan in Xingqing City.

After being quiet for a moment, Xu Huaigu said, "Sister Bai, I know you care about me, and I am very grateful. It's just that you care about me, treat me like a relative, and don't want to see me in a little danger, but you don't know that I also have people I like and care about? ”

"I know many people in Xingqing City, and they are all old acquaintances with me. When the war comes, I can go, but what will they do? In your mouth, Sister Bai, the army of Dayu Kingdom will be dispersed as soon as it collapses, but it is just a simple sentence, but under this sentence, how many soldiers should be killed in battle? How many relatives should there be who are heartbroken for them? Is their life not their fate? Sister Bai, if you really love me, tell me what the Demon Sect has set up in Xingqing, instead of just telling me to leave quickly. Bai Xiaoyu looked very lost, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say a word in the end.

In any case, Bai Xiaoyu favors Xu Huaigu, but her people are still people from the Demon Sect, and their positions are different, and the minutiae can be handled by Xu Huaigu, but in the overall situation, she can't leak secrets, otherwise even her master won't be able to spare her.

The Demon Sect's plan in Xingqing City involved a lot, and it was operated for eight years. In fact, Xu Huaigu also experienced that incident back then, so naturally there were clues to look for him, if he could find the answer himself, it had nothing to do with Bai Xiaoyu, but she couldn't tell him directly anyway.

After all, the two people with different positions still have a disagreement. Bai Xiaoyu was so confused that she didn't know how to face Xu Huaigu, she confessed twice, and left again in a hurry.

Jiang Chengcuo stayed, said a few good words about his senior sister to Xu Huaigu, sighed helplessly, and went with Bai Xiaoyu.

The two who came in a hurry hurried away again, and only Li Zi's faint breathing was left in the room. Xu Huaigu opened the window, stood by the window and looked at the street, watching Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo disappear into the streets of Xingqing night, feeling troubled.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Bai Xiaoyu loved him, but she also had her difficulties. That's it, this meeting broke up unhappily, and I will apologize to her next time.

Xu Huaigu sighed depressedly, sat on the chair, looked at the night scene outside the window, and slowly waited for the next day to come.
