"There is still half a month, and it will be the day of the feast in the heavenly palace..."Xiao Hachi sat at the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside in a daze, these days, although Xiao Hachi tried his best to calm his mood, but he still felt very nervous, or it can be said that he was a little confused.

He didn't know how he would rescue Xia Yu if he didn't succeed in the selection of the Guò Heavenly Palace Feast. With his own strength, or with the strength of Fairyland, but no matter what, it will be several times more difficult.

Just as Hachi was thinking about these problems that gave him a headache, he suddenly inadvertently glanced and saw a figure passing by the street below.

Xiao Ba was stunned, because he looked very familiar with this figure.

"What is she going to do at such a late hour?" Hachi muttered in a low voice, and then a dodge slipped out of the window...

In a rocky patch outside the town, a man in a black robe stood in the middle of it. Although he is standing here, he has a feeling of being one with his surroundings, and if an ordinary person passes by here, he will not be able to find his existence at all.

After a while, a young girl in a long green dress walked in, and he came to the black-robed man and knelt down on one knee.

"Very punctual. The black-robed man said lightly, his voice was a little sharp, but there was a piercing chill.

On the contrary, with the indifference of the black-robed man, Hongqiang raised her head and smiled charmingly: "Your call, how dare I not be punctual." ”

"Hehe, I hope you think so in your heart. The black-robed man sneered and continued, "Put away your expression, the things that the master explained have been done?"

"That's it. Red Rose was still smiling, but her smile was slightly restrained, and she seemed very peaceful.

The black-robed man bowed his head slightly and said: "You did a good job this time, continue to follow the child, don't show any horses, he has grown up very quickly recently." ”

"I know, please rest assured. Red Rose replied.

"Stand down, don't let the childish find out. The black-robed man said lightly.

"That..."

"Do you have a problem?"

Hongqiang nodded, stood up, and took out a dozen thick silver tickets from his small bag, these silver tickets were more or less, but they were folded very neatly, "Lord Deacon, I have scraped together another 10 million taels, can I put ten more people..."

The black-robed man glanced at the silver ticket in Hongqiang's hand, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the silver ticket came out of Hongqiang's hand, and the black-robed man said: "Those three invitations are for you to give to the child, not for you to sell him, you almost caused a situation where the childish can't get there, but it's good to read it on your table, and the remaining seven million taels can be counted." ”

Hongqiang bit it, but still made her expression look a little more pleasant and said, "Thank you, Lord Deacon, then my mother..."

"As I said, she was the last one to be released, and there were one hundred and ninety-two people left, and it was her turn at the end. The black-robed man sneered twice and said: "It is worthy of being the spirit girl of Baiye Village, that is, she is capable, in just ten years, she can make up 50 million taels, I believe it won't take long for you to make it up." ”

After speaking, the black-robed man turned his back and waved his hand, "Stand down, I'm contacting you for something." ”

Although Hongqiang was unwilling, she could only nod and turn away.

Just when she turned around, she happened to see Hachi not far away. Hongqiang was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but Xiaoba didn't let her say it at all, and came to her directly, Huaying Knife in my hand, pointing directly at the black-robed man: "Who are you, why do you want to hold Hongqiang hostage!"

The black-robed man didn't pay attention to Xiao Hachi, but slowly raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky.

Seeing that he didn't react, Xiaoba swung out the Huaying knife directly, and a blood-red sword light went straight towards the black-robed man.

"Bang", I saw that the black-robed man was blown apart after being hit by the blood-red knife light, Xiao Ba was stunned, he never expected this result, but when he fixed his eyes, he saw that the black-robed man who should have been torn apart had disappeared, and there was not even a piece of rag left on the ground.

Hachi wanted to go over to find the black-robed man, but was stopped by Hongqiang and shook his head at him.

After a stick of incense, Hongqiang followed Xiaoba to a tree not far from the rocky hill, Xiaoba sat there cross-legged, looked at Hongqiang and said, "Still refuse to say?"

Red Rose clenched her silver teeth and looked at Hachi, not knowing how to tell Sù Hachi that he had been assigned to spy on him.

Xiaoba was not in a hurry, just sat quietly, looked at Hongqiang, and waited for her to say it herself. In the end, Hongqiang sighed and said, "I'm sorry starling, I don't want to... I..."Speaking of this, Hongqiang couldn't say any more, although she was deliberately approached by her to get along with Xiaoba, but the encounter was fake, but the feelings were real, those days of getting along, the adventure experience together, made Xiaoba a very important person to Hongqiang. So Hongqiang didn't want to say it, and she didn't dare to tell the truth, she was afraid that Xiaoba would leave here after knowing the truth, then she would not be able to complete the task given to her by the mysterious master, and she didn't dare to think about what the consequences were. At the same time, she is also a little worried that she will no longer be able to face Hachi because of this. She has too many scruples, so when it comes to her mouth, it can only be stuck in her throat.

"What are you, why don't you tell me about such a big thing, you still don't take me as a friend!?" Xiaoba said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, Hongqiang was stunned, thinking that Xiaoba would blame herself, and then ask the reason for the matter, but she didn't expect to say these words.

Hachi continued: "Who is that black-robed man, and what's wrong with your hometown? I said why are you always thinking about making money, it turns out that he is blackmailing you. ”

Xiao Ba's series of questions surprised Hongqiang a little, but she was secretly glad in her heart, and said in her heart, "It turns out that he didn't hear what he said before, otherwise how could he ask this?"

Seeing that Xiaoba was a little blamed, but full of concern, Hongqiang's heart warmed, and she subconsciously said: "I don't know his identity, I only know that he is a deacon of a mysterious organization." You also heard it just now, my hometown is called Baiye Village, and I am the daughter of the priest in the village..."

Hongqiang told Hachi her story, this time she didn't lie, these words that had been held in her heart for too long, too long, she needed someone to listen to it, let herself confide in her heart, and Hachi happened to be the listener. Red Rose spoke very slowly, very carefully, containing her own feelings, and by the time she finished speaking, it was already dawn.

From the story of Red Rose, Hachi learned that Red Rose originally lived in a place called Baiye Village, a small village on the border of Lumi, and that Red Rose was the daughter of the priest in the village, and because of her good talent, she was chosen as a spirit girl and took over as the next priest when she grew up.

Because her mother was a sacrifice, and Hongqiang was chosen as a spirit girl, Hongqiang had a good relationship with the people in the village since she was a child, and the entire village of less than 300 people was like a big family.

But then one day, a black-robed man suddenly came to the village, his strength was monstrous, Hongqiang's mother, the priest in the village, when facing him, he was defeated with one move. Fortunately, the black-robed man did not kill the people in the village, but arrested everyone and imprisoned them in a prison.

At this time, the black-robed man found Hongqiang, and for some reason, he chose to release Hongqiang, and told her that as long as he collected a million taels of gold, he could let go of a villager in Baiye Village, and since then, Hongqiang has lived a life of raising money everywhere. And over the years, Hongqiang has handed over more than 60 million taels of gold to that person.

When Hachi listened to Red Qiang's story, he was a little admired and a little pity. It was hard for him to imagine if it were him. One million taels per person, even if it was just one person, for him, I am afraid that he would be desperate, but Hongqiang survived and rescued more than fifty people.

"Red Rose. Hachi called softly.

"Hmm"

"Here's to you. Hachi spoke softly and handed a blue ring to Red Rose.

"What is this?" Hongqiang took it, probed slightly, and then looked at Xiaoba with some surprise, because it contained a large number of jewels, and with Hongqiang's eyes, the jewelry in it was definitely worth more than five million taels of gold.

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" Red Rose blinked at Hachi.

Xiao Hachi smiled at her and said, "I'm not afraid" After speaking, he looked at the rising sun in the distance and muttered to himself: "I really want to have a goal to save my family, but unfortunately I don't even have a chance..."
