On a forest path that must be passed by a small dance, the lone crane fell in a pool of blood. He conjured up four ferocious wolves, baring their teeth and pounced on him.

As designed.

At the last moment, Xiao Wu, who was passing by on horseback, decisively flew out a short knife and stabbed straight at the wolf that pounced on the lone crane.

With a wail, the ferocious wolf instantly pounced, blood gushing from its neck.

When the other three wolves saw this, they glanced at the fierce little dance in horror, turned their heads in fright and ran into the woods, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the lone crane in the pool of blood was dying, Xiao Wu turned over and dismounted, took out a bottle of trauma medicine from the burden on the horse's back, and walked to him.

Xiao Wu squatted down, pointed to the wound of the lone crane with her finger, and shook the medicine bottle in her hand.

Looking at Zhen Xiaowu in front of her, understanding that she wanted to give herself medicine, Gu Minghe nodded and said weakly: "Thank you, master!"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile, and while bandaging the wound of the lonely crane, her lips twitched, and she struggled to make a relatively clear "no...... can be".

Looking at Zhen Xiaowu's appearance, Gu Minghe felt very upset.

If she hadn't been injured and fainted on Wunian Mountain at the top of the Nine Heavens that day, she might have been able to save Xiao Wu and Little Master, and she would not have been beaten into reincarnation.

Lone Minghe hated himself for being incompetent, and hated for failing the trust of the second prince Mu Bai.

Finding that the lone crane wet her eyelashes, Xiao Wu was a little confused, and asked hoarsely while gesticulating.

"Where...... Pain?"

Lone Minghe found that he was out of shape, "Oh, it doesn't hurt, the hero's life-saving grace is regarded as recreating his parents, Lone Minghe, I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life, follow and serve my master."

Xiao Wu listened, shook her head with a smile, handed the medicine bottle in her hand to Gu Minghe, and got up to leave.

The lonely crane knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "I should repay the kindness of people with dripping water, I need to repay the springs, the benefactor saved my life, but I can't repay it, if the benefactor dislikes, I ...... I'm going to ...... this life right now. also with the benefactor".

After the lonely crane finished speaking, he put a short sword on his neck, as if he wanted to wipe his neck.

Xiao Wu paused, frowned, sighed, squatted beside the lone crane again, lifted his hat, revealed the slave mark on his forehead, and showed the lone crane with his fingers.

"I ...... Slave"

Gu Minghe immediately replied, "I don't care, in my heart, you are already the master." Again...... I'm being hunted down by the enemy, leaving ...... It's also a death, I'm lonely, I live...... It's not boring."

After the lone crane finished speaking, he used force in his hand, and the short knife had cut through the skin, and blood flowed out.

Xiao Wu is really worried!

I sneaked out, maybe I was still wanted, and if I was dragged down by an injured person, it would add a lot of trouble out of thin air.

But if he doesn't agree, the man in front of him will be a tiger, if he really kills himself, then he can't save people, but he will kill him.

Alas, I have a good heart, why was I relied on?

Seeing Xiao Wu's worries, Gu Minghe hurriedly filled in the words to dispel her concerns.

"Master, I know martial arts, and I won't drag down my master"

Xiao Wu frowned, looked at the sky that had darkened, and then looked at the wounded Lone Crane, feeling that if he was left here, after a while, the wolves would come back, and he would still not survive.

Alas, let's get him out of danger first.

Xiao Wu looked around, went not far away to pick up a wooden stick, used a dagger to cut off the branches, squatted back beside the lonely crane, afraid that his lame words would not be clear, so he wrote a few words on the ground.

"If you're well, you'll leave"

Gu Minghe read the words, deliberately pretending to be illiterate, and looked innocent and ignorant.

Xiao Wu sighed helplessly, and didn't bother to take care of Gu Minghe, so she decided to take him away first, and when she settled him, she got rid of it directly.

Handing the stick to Lone Minghe and helping him to his feet, Xiao Wu pointed to his horse.

The lonely crane knelt and kowtowed, "Thank you for taking it in!"

The sudden sharpness of the lonely crane was not at all like he didn't have half a life, and a trace of suspicion appeared on Xiao Wu's brows.

Gu Minghe realized that he was almost a goof, knowing that Zhen Xiaowu in the world was also a very smart person, busy covering his wounds, pretending to be painful and grinning.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, helped the lone crane to walk towards his horse, and pointed to the horse pedals in front of the horse.

"Get on the horse"

"Little Lord, I Have a Horse" Lingjiu Literature Network

After the lone crane finished speaking, he blew with his fingers in his mouth, and a white handsome horse ran over, he grabbed the reins of the horse, climbed the horse with great difficulty, looked at the more confused Xiao Wu, and opened his mouth to suggest.

"Little lord, it's getting dark, let's go"

The reason why Gu Minghe wanted to direct a bitter plan was to protect Zhen Xiaowu closely.

At present, the warriors who are being hunted by the Demon Realm with a bounty have been found, and a group of trained mortals are also chasing Xiao Wu, and if they hide behind their backs, they may not be able to protect Zhen Xiao Wu thoroughly.

Zhen Xiaowu is a mortal body, and he has no power to fight back at all, if he is injured by the soul destroying artifact, his soul will be scattered.

In that case, the little dance master will really be gone.

As long as the spirit of Xiao Wu is kept immortal, she will have the opportunity to re-ascend to the fairy world.

The lonely crane, who has always been the shadow of the master, had to go out into the sun and decided to protect Zhen Xiaowu with the soul of the little master every step of the way.

Only then can he rest assured.

After helping Zhen Xiaowu fulfill her promise, he will take her to find a secluded place, first, to avoid pursuit, and second, to enlighten her and cultivate.

What Xiao Wu didn't expect was that the lonely crane not only didn't drag himself down, but took care of himself everywhere.

It's just that as soon as he mentioned the matter of letting him go, he was hurt and weak again, or pretended to be stupid.

Xiao Wu was beaten by the lonely crane who looked honest on the outside, and he couldn't do anything about it, but fortunately, he didn't make a mistake for himself, so he never completely relented and drove him away.

If you want to follow, you can follow it, and you can call it whatever you want.

Gradually......

Xiao Wu actually fell in love with the company of the lonely crane.

The boring travel, with company, feels a lot more colorful, and the lonely crane knows a lot, which makes Xiao Wu impressed.

Looking for someone to stay with, or asking for directions, etc., Lone Minghe has become Xiao Wu's spokesperson, he is like a roundworm in his stomach, looking at his own thoughts.

This tacit understanding made Xiao Wu feel that he was about to leave the lonely crane.

After stopping for 12 days, without any pursuit or interception, Xiao Wu has put his mind at ease, thinking that even if there is chasing, he should have been thrown off.

People relaxed and were in a good mood, and Xiao Wu began to enjoy the scenery along the way.

It's autumn, it's crisp, the forests are dyed, the vast plains are endless, and the ploughs are busy harvesting.

Although they were all dressed in simple clothes, their faces were filled with the joy of a good harvest.

The two rode horses on country lanes and were treated with the most simple and warm hospitality from the peasant family.

And happy their happiness.

Xiao Wu not only felt that the sky was blue and the water was clear, the scenery was pleasant, but also the mood was comfortable and happy, and she felt unprecedented happiness and freedom.

Xiao Wu and the lonely crane galloped together, watching the big river rushing, watching the red sun spraying, and watching the wild chrysanthemums shining like the sea......

The free heart wanders in the fragrance of flowers and fruits, Xiao Wu is drunk without alcohol, and is deeply infatuated with this beautiful and vast world.

After traveling for 20 days, Xiao Wu and Gu Minghe rushed to the Domino Pass, which was the forefront of the battle against Great Xia, and the two found an inn to stay.

ordered wine and food in the house, and when Xiao Er delivered wine and food, Lone Minghe asked Xiao Er.

"Little Er, I heard that the East City Gate is impassable, you know, what to do...... Can we get there?"

Xiao Er is a clever young man, picked up the five coins that Gu Minghe put on the table, smiled and put them into his sleeves, and lowered his voice to speak.

"Two masters, can you ...... Shouting so loudly...... Go to that side, the spies of this city...... More miles, carelessly, mistaken for the dark...... If you are caught, you will be beaten, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life."

"We want to send the ashes of our loved ones...... To be in the countryside for peace, you need to go there."

Xiao Er replied, "Alas, how can you take care of this chaotic army...... So much? I'll be honest with you, our family...... There are also ...... On that side, a few months ago, we were still on that side, isn't that ...... And they were separated. Those who can't get through are at war, and besides, you have passed...... What are you doing? Over there...... It's really impossible to live, it's better to be on this side, at least not starving, mixed up...... You can still have a livelihood and save some money."

felt that Xiao Er couldn't get to the point, so Gu Minghe asked bluntly: "You just say it directly, how can you get out of the East City Gate?"

Xiao Er had a bitter face, "Master, you really ...... me I haven't encountered this kind of thing, and I don't know. At present, the city gate is guarded by the army, and if you want to go out, you need a military order, and the army is under the command of Marshal Lu, let's be a little common people...... I'm afraid I won't be able to see it, let alone get a military order."

Seeing that she couldn't find anything useful, Xiao Wu shook her head in disappointment, and Gu Minghe understood, so she directly picked up someone.

"Thanks, go get busy"

"Okay, okay, two masters, please eat, the dishes are almost cold"
