Xu Tong talked excitedly, Chen Yiwen listened quietly, and the two of them sat in the courtyard from sunrise to sunset.

Seeing that Xu Tong couldn't hide his tiredness, Chen Yiwen finally stood up and said, "It's time for you to rest." ”

Xu Tong also happened to talk about when Murong Ye left Si Jianfeng for Xue Kingdom, he paused and nodded. He really didn't want to talk about the rest of the matter.

Chen Yiwen used a wooden wheelchair to push Xu Tong into the room, and then poured Xu Tong a cup of hot water. The weather in early autumn was still a little difficult for Xu Tong, who was seriously injured and difficult to recover.

Chen Yiwen sat on the side and waited quietly for Xu Tong to finish drinking a whole cup of hot water before standing up again and said, "It's not early, you can rest early after dinner, I'll come to see you tomorrow!"

Xu Tong's hands holding the water cup tightened, and said: "Although this place is hidden, it can't hide from the Murong family for too long, they may attack at any time, it is safer for you to leave here overnight." ”

Chen Yiwen paused and said, "There is no movement in the Murong Mansion in Dongfang City, and there are no spies from the Murong family around this place. The Murong family should be busy looking for Murong Ye, and they don't have the time and energy to deal with you, so I'd better stay for a few more days!"

Xu Tong gently put the water cup on the table, shook his head and chuckled: "The fact that the Murong family didn't do it doesn't mean that they didn't grasp my position, it only means that the young master hasn't come back yet." With my understanding of King Qingyang, even if he holds my position, he will wait for the young master to come back and do it himself. ”

Chen Yiwen was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "King Qingyang actually takes such a fancy to Murong Ye?"

Xu Tong nodded in agreement and said, "The young master has declared that after this battle, the king of Qingyang will let the young master slash me, a traitor, in order to establish the prestige of the young master in the Pingxi Army and even the entire Eastern Empire." ”

Xu Tong even talked about Murong Ye's stabbing of himself, his mood did not change much, and he was still very flat. Obviously, he had considered this possibility and accepted this fate from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Yiwen insisted: "Even if the Murong family finds out here, it won't prevent me from accompanying you for a few more days." ”

Xu Tong wanted Chen Yiwen to accompany him more, but he was afraid that Chen Yiwen's stay would cause hostility from the Murong family, so he said ruthlessly: "Even if this matter is advocated by me, there is no guarantee that the Murong family will not be angry with you." You'd better get out of here and get rid of me. ”

Chen Yiwen's eyes were full of tears again, and she said stubbornly: "You are in such a situation because of me, I should accompany you to face the revenge of the Murong family." Otherwise, how can I be worthy of what you have done to me?"

Xu Tong sighed and wanted to reach out and pat Chen Yiwen's head, but stopped halfway through the stretch out, and said a little resolutely: "You have your dreams that have not been realized, and this matter should not be on your hand again." Even if the Murong family will not completely turn against the Chen family because of this matter, you are just an ordinary clansman of the Chen family's insignificance, and you will definitely not be able to withstand the anger of the Murong family. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Tong saw the sparkle in the corners of Chen Yiwen's eyes, and his tone finally became gentle.

"Well, in order not to let my efforts go in vain, you should go all the more to fulfill your dreams. However, don't directly conflict with the Murong family anymore. The perfect opportunity has been missed, and the next step is to figure it out. ”

Chen Yiwen's tears finally fell in front of Xu Tong, and she said with a slight cry: "Brother Tong, do you really not keep me?"

Brother Tong is what Chen Yiwen called Xu Tong when she was a child, and Chen Yiwen hasn't called Xu Tong that way for many years.

When Xu Tong heard the familiar name, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and his body trembled slightly. He gasped for a few breaths before he felt his heart hurt so much anymore.

After Xu Tong's breathing stabilized, he shook his head and said lightly: "I, a wasted person, is no longer able to walk with you, I don't want to be a burden to you anymore, my biggest wish now is that you can fulfill your dream." ”

Chen Yiwen wiped away her tears with her sleeve regardless of her image, and said while pushing Xu Tong's wheelchair: "In this case, I will take you out of the Eastern Empire to a hidden place that no one can find." I don't want you to stay in this target to attract the wrath of the Murong family. ”

Xu Tong held the wooden wheel with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Don't mess around! If I escape, the Murong family will not let go of the entire Xu family, and maybe the Chen family will be angry." If the Murong family and the Chen family had a full-scale conflict in this situation, it would definitely be a lose-lose situation. ”

Chen Yiwen pushed the wheelchair many times, but she didn't push it, and she didn't dare to push too hard for fear of hurting Xu Tong, who was not even as good as ordinary people, and finally let go of her hands pushing the wheelchair in a dejected manner, with a painful look on her face.

Xu Tong patted Chen Yiwen's hand for comfort, and was silent for a while before he said softly: "It is the best choice to calm the anger of the Murong family with my life alone. ”

Chen Yiwen was stunned when she heard Xu Tong's firm and bland words, looked at Xu Tong in disbelief, and said in surprise: "So you didn't come here to go back to the imperial capital, not to hide?"

Xu Tong patted Chen Yiwen's hand and didn't speak, but his firm eyes clearly showed that Chen Yiwen's guess was right.

Chen Yiwen was shocked, her heart was numb, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Brother, I'm ......"

Xu Tong patted Chen Yiwen's hand again, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said extremely calmly: "This is one of the endings I expected before I was ready to lurk in the Pingxi Army. You don't have to mind, since I made this choice, it means that I am willing to pay the corresponding price. ”

Chen Yiwen looked at Xu Tong, whose eyes were shining, and muttered the sentence she said before: "I owe you too much!"

Xu Tong smiled: "My life is my own choice!"

......

Early this morning, Murong Ye led the convoy to set off again, heading towards the location of the azure sapphire located in the south.

The convoy traveled for half an hour, and Murong Ye couldn't help but be slightly stunned after finding that the sapphire still showed no signs of moving.

Murong Ye had led everyone to follow the sapphire for a few days, and it was the first time he had seen the sapphire not move during the day.

The boy with the sapphire and the twenty guards basically only rested for four or five hours every day, and the rest of the time was in a hurry.

Now this situation is naturally extremely abnormal.

Murong Ye enlarged the map of the location of the sapphire and found that although the specific terrain and landform were not clear, it could be determined that it should be in a verdant mountain forest.

This also ruled out the possibility of a teenager with an azure sapphire staying in town. The most likely thing else is that the boy and the twenty guards have encountered a crisis or an accident.

Murong Ye quickly weighed it in his heart, and then said loudly: "Speed up!"

After Murong Ye finished speaking, he sat down and left quickly. Wang Teng and the others followed without saying a word, and more than a dozen trucks pulling goods also raised their speed to the extreme.

After rushing at full speed for more than two hours, Murong Ye saw more than a dozen blood-drenched people lying on the side of the road in front of him from a distance. These people have some wounds on their bodies, apparently after a terrible fight.

The outfit of these people was exactly the same as the outfit of the twenty people who had escorted the young man with the azure sapphire before, and they were obviously the young man's guards.

And the young man, Commander Han, and a few other guards were not here. The horses they rode on, and the luggage they carried, were gone.

Sure enough, something happened!

Murong Ye looked at the more than a dozen miserable figures on the ground, thinking of the previous attack, touching the scene, and a trace of sentimentality surfaced in his heart.

Murong Ye hurried to the side of those people, and flew off the horse before he could stop steadily. He checked the condition of the men as he synchronized the scanning of the secondary systems.

Unfortunately, Murong Ye and the auxiliary system came to the exact same conclusion.

These people are dead and hopeless!

At this time, Wang Teng and others arrived one after another. Wang Teng looked at the more than a dozen corpses and asked, "Young Master, can these people still be saved?"

Wang Teng had seen Murong Ye come back to life, and the extremely magical storage bag given by Murong Ye was in his arms, so he almost had blind confidence in Murong Ye.

Wang Teng and even all the White Tiger Guards had even secretly deified Murong Ye.

This is the reason why Wang Teng asked at a glance that although Wang Teng saw at a glance that the blood of more than a dozen people lying on the ground was about to run dry, there was no need to rescue them at all.

Murong Ye sighed softly and helplessly, and shook his head helplessly to show that he could not do anything. He looked at the dozen corpses and the dried blood on the ground, which made his heart touch even stronger.

When Wang Teng and the others saw this situation, they couldn't help but think of the previous attack, and thought of the sixty-five guards and Liu Lao who died in that battle, so they were silent for a while.

The atmosphere of the scene was depressing to the extreme.

Xiaoya and Xiaoyue hid next to the truck and didn't dare to talk casually.

Murong Ye cleaned up his mood and walked straight to a corpse lying on the grass on the side of the road, he gently moved the corpse away, and picked up a walnut-sized sky blue gem from the depths of the grass where the corpse was pressing.

"Ding, get the sapphire. ”

The hint from the assistance system clearly indicates that the gem is the same sapphire that had been in the package that had been hanging from the young horse.

Murong Ye followed the sapphire for a few days, but he didn't expect to get the sapphire like this.

Murong Ye's hand holding the sapphire moved slightly, and he received the sapphire into the storage space. He stood up and looked at the more than a dozen corpses lying around, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Wang Teng glanced at Murong Ye, who was thoughtful, and guessed the general idea in Murong Ye's heart. He paused, and immediately arranged for Group C, Group D, Group E, and Group Ji to go around to guard and check the traces of activity around them, and then asked the rest of Group A to dig graves on the spot and bury these corpses. Ma Yan and the other members of Group B formed a circular shield array to protect Murong Ye.

Murong Ye didn't think about it for long, and soon came back to his senses with an answer. He glanced at Wang Teng, who was waiting on the side, and the two nodded tacitly.

Murong Ye said: "After receiving the deposit, you can't sit idly by. Find out where you are before you think about what to do next. ”

Wang Teng nodded, turned around and left. Although Murong Ye didn't say it clearly, he understood the meaning of Murong Ye's words.

Murong Ye wants to save the owner of the sapphire, that young man!
