As night falls, the stars are dotted and a bright moon hangs high in the night sky.

Under the moonlight, Bai Qi and the two followed the army to a mountain, the top of the mountain is relatively flat, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is also a water source nearby, which is suitable for the army to camp.

But now this group of soldiers has nothing but armor and weapons, so they can't talk about camping, they can only be regarded as staying here for one night, the sky is the quilt, and the ground is the bed.

After a day's fighting, the soldiers had traveled nearly 50 kilometers to get here, and they were already exhausted, and even fell to the ground and fell asleep as soon as they stopped.

For the sake of safety, Ning Xiaoxue found twenty soldiers and divided them into four groups, each group took turns to patrol the four directions of the mountain, southeast, northwest and northwest for two hours, so that even if they encountered an enemy attack, they would have time to react.

The twenty soldiers also knew the seriousness of the matter, and were not dissatisfied that they still had to go on patrol.

After everything was arranged, Ning Xiaoxue found Bai Qi.

Under the moonlight, Bai Qi sat cross-legged on the grass on the edge of the cliff, looking up at the starry sky, looking at the stars in the sky in a daze.

Ning Xiaoxue quietly walked behind Bai and said, "What do you want?"

Hearing this sudden voice, he was so frightened that he shook his body and looked back.

"Sister Ning, you're scared me to death!"

Ning Xiaoxue smiled slightly and sat down next to Bai Qi.

"Still thinking about the valley?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, I'm thinking about what I should do tonight?"

Ning Xiaoxue was stunned, she thought that Bai Qi was thinking about the dead soldiers in the valley, but she didn't expect to be worried about sleeping.

"What else can I do? Take the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed. Ning Xiaoxue shrugged and said helplessly.

Bai Qi looked around, and said in his heart that his body slept in this environment for one night, and the next day he would definitely get sick.

But it's a little squeamish to think that those soldiers with wounds can sleep, and I'm struggling with these.

So, he lay back, lay flat on the grass, stretched comfortably, and then held his head in his hands, looked at the starry sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Sister Ning, I'll sleep first. ”

Ning Xiaoxue hummed softly and looked at Bai Qi quietly.

Judging from Bai Qi's expression in the afternoon, his mood has definitely been more or less affected, and a person who has never experienced this kind of scene will change his mood after seeing this situation.

Ning Xiaoxue couldn't help but think of her sixteen-year-old self.

At that time, after saving her, the master of the Dark Temple, Uhir, taught her swordsmanship.

Half a year later, Uhir gave her a mission to kill a bully in the Dark City.

This bully's strength is stronger than ordinary people, and there is still a little gap compared to Ning Xiaoxue at that time.

Ning Xiaoxue tried her best to defeat the bully, but when she was about to kill the bully, she hesitated and was afraid.

It was the moment when she hesitated that the bully suddenly made a move, intending to kill Ning Xiaoxue.

If Uhir hadn't secretly sent someone to follow her, she would have lost her life because of that momentary hesitation and fear.

Not long afterward, Uhir gave her another assignment to make him kill.

However, this time Uhir gave a death order, and if Ning Xiaoxue still couldn't complete the task, Uhir asked people to kill her.

In this way, when her life was threatened, Ning Xiaoxue finally killed the first person.

After all, she was just a 16-year-old little girl, and during the time she killed people, she would have nightmares every night when she went to bed, and she was scared into a cold sweat.

This situation lasted for seven days, and during the day he was tired from cultivating, and he couldn't sleep well at night, and after seven days, everyone lost a lot of weight.

However, after she killed the second person, the situation improved, and it seemed that her mood had changed, and she never had nightmares again.

Recalling herself when she was a child, Ning Xiaoxue's eyes gradually became cold.

I'll go find you!

At this time, Bai Qi, who was lying on the ground sleeping, turned over, seemed to feel cold, and curled up together.

The moonlight shone on Bai Qi's face, and his brows could be seen furrowed.

Ning Xiaoxue looked at Bai Qi sleeping, sighed distressedly, and said softly: "Sleep in peace, just get used to it." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her right index finger and gently touched Bai Qi's forehead a little, sending a stream of source qi into Bai Qi's body to resist the cold of the night.

The next morning.

When Bai Qi woke up, he found that everyone had already packed up their things and stood in line twenty meters away from him.

After discovering that Bai Qi woke up, almost everyone stared at him.

The gaze of so many people made Bai Qi embarrassed, neither standing nor sitting.

Ning Xiaoxue, who was on the side, woke up when she saw Bai Qi, so she gave an order to the soldiers and set off.

With Ning Xiaoxue's order, the soldiers marched towards Dark Lu City in an orderly manner.

According to this group of soldiers, they originally planned to follow the main force to Dark Reed City, but they did not expect to be disconnected by the surprise attack of the enemy army.

After Ning Xiaoxue finished giving the order, she walked towards the rear of the troops, and she didn't know what to do.

Bai Qi had no choice but to follow the large army and walk outside their ranks.

At this time, a tall, bearded soldier closest to Bai Qi looked at Bai Qi curiously and asked, "Brother, what is the relationship between you and Hall Master Ning?"

After the bearded man asked, the surrounding soldiers all looked at Bai Qi curiously.

Bai Qi glanced at the soldier suspiciously, didn't understand what he meant, and replied, "It doesn't matter, it's just an acquaintance." ”

"Just knowing will make us so many people wait for you alone?" The bearded man seemed to feel that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly added: "Of course, I'm not unhappy when you wake up, it's just just curiosity." ”

"When you didn't wake up, Hall Master Ning asked us to gather and choose a place farther away, so that we could move as little as possible, for fear of waking you up. ”

The words of the beard surprised Bai Qi.

"By the way, brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, I still have some rations here, if you don't dislike it, you can pad your stomach first." ”

As he spoke, the bearded man took out the ration bag he was carrying with him and handed it to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Thank you, big brother, you should keep it, it's okay if I eat less, but you can't, you have the strength to kill the enemy when you are full." ”

"It's okay, at our speed, we can reach Dark Reed City before noon, there are so many pheasants and hares in this wilderness, is it possible that you can still be hungry?" so you don't have to worry that I don't have anything to eat. The beard smiled heartily.

"Then you're welcome. ”

I took the ration bag from the bearded man's hand and opened it to see that it was fried noodles, which smelled quite fragrant.

Bai Qi grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking that it should taste good, but it turned out that there was no taste at all.

When the time was close to noon, Bai Qi and the others finally came to the foot of a mountain ten kilometers away from Dark Lu City.

To everyone's surprise, the main force led by Deputy Marshal Yin Qun happened to rest here.

Yin Qun is about 1.7 meters tall, with a thin figure and white skin, even though he is wearing a black armor, he can't hide the bookish anger on his body.

When Yin Qun saw that the scattered troops had also come here safely, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

After learning the specific situation from the mouths of these scattered soldiers, Yin Qun took the five generals to find Ning Xiaoxue.

"Hall Master Ning, thank you this time, if they hadn't met you, they might have ......" Yin Qun clasped his fists at Ning Xiaoxue and saluted.

At the same time, the five generals behind him saluted to express their gratitude.

"Marshal Yin is polite, Lu Buping should have drawn his sword to help, not to mention that I am also from the Dark Country?" Ning Xiaoxue replied politely.

"Haha......" Yin Qun laughed and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." ”

"I don't know how the marshal plans to break the enemy?" Ning Xiaoxue did not continue to be polite, and directly asked the key question.

She didn't have time to waste with them, her main task was to escort Bai to Yaoguang Kingdom, and if she delayed any longer, maybe Bai Yu would have to find her in person.

Fortunately, there was also a teleportation array in Dark Lu City, so Ning Xiaoxue planned to take Bai Qi directly to Yaoguang Country after asking Yin Qun about his plans.

After hearing Ning Xiaoxue's inquiry, Yin Qun pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Ning Xiaoxue frowned slightly, and asked, "How many troops does Yaoguang Kingdom have?"

Yin Qun was stunned for a moment, and looked at a general on the left in embarrassment.

At the same time, there was a trace of unhappiness in my heart, thinking that I was a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, even if it was a deputy, was questioned like this by a woman, and I was really angry.

If he had been questioned like this by ordinary people, he would have ordered the other party to be beaten fifty boards to show military authority.

"The enemy army is 100,000, our army is 150,000. The general on Yin Qun's left hurriedly replied.

Ning Xiaoxue raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

From the first time she saw Yin Qun, she felt that this person was unreliable, but she didn't expect that she didn't know anything.

A deputy marshal, I don't know how many troops the enemy army has, and I don't know how many troops I have, how on earth did he become a deputy marshal?

Seeing this, the corners of Bai Qi's mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh, but he still forcibly held back.

Yin Qun, who was already a little embarrassed, immediately rose a fire in his heart after seeing Bai Qi's movements.

Ning Xiaoxue questioned him, he could bear it, after all, Ning Xiaoxue was strong, and she was a person from the Dark Temple, even if she didn't give Ning Xiaoxue face, she had to give face to the Dark Temple, not to mention that she also saved more than a thousand soldiers.

But why are you laughing at a little kid in vain?

"Who's wild child? so don't know how to be polite, come on, pull me down, fifty canes on my hips. Yin Qun said loudly.

Swish!

Before the words fell, Yin Qun saw an emerald green sword pointed at his throat.

"Who do you want a cane?" Ning Xiaoxue said coldly.

Yin Qun saw that Ning Xiaoxue dared to threaten him, and he was immediately furious.

"Ning Xiaoxue, don't go too far! For the sake of the face that you saved more than a thousand brothers, I don't care about you, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
