The scorching sun was shining at noon, and Taedong, who was taken to the barracks by the soldiers in a carriage, sweated through his clothes along the way. At this time, the drunken gradually woke up and felt that he was in a bumpy carriage, and Taedong hurriedly got up.

Boom, the tall body stood up, hit the roof of the carriage with its head, and the whole person fell down again. Looking at the sweat-soaked paper in his arms, Taidong sat on the board of the car, his eyes wide in panic, and sure enough, drinking is a bad thing.

The soldier who heard the movement had already stopped his horse, and at this time he opened the curtain and probed in: "My lord, you can wake up! If you don't wake up, you will be in the barracks." ”

The soldier in front of him, wearing the uniform of the frontier protection battalion, was obviously not his own subordinate. Taidong's eyes shrank, and he frowned at the soldier and asked, "Where are we?"

"In the carriage, isn't it in a hurry, Mu Gongzi said to let you sober up on the road. The soldier replied with a smile.

I originally wanted to let Taidong wake up and then go to the barracks, but this will inevitably leave a bad impression, the journey from Taidong's house to the barracks for more than an hour, in such a long time, at least Taidong can wake up about the same, of course, Mu Xiao let the soldiers slow down behind, and he has already arrived at the Hujiang sub-camp. The purpose of coming here is to see if there is anything unusual about the legendary ghost gate.

Standing at the door, Mu Xiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at the muddy ground in the barracks, and the smell of fishy smells from time to time made the two of them a little afraid to breathe. Inside, the soldiers were cleaning up the mud in the barracks, some of which had been dried by the sun, but the stench was unappetizing.

"Brother Xiao, the smell in this barracks should be from the Yuanshan Mountain, right? I always feel that in addition to the foul smell, there is also a cold smell here. Jiang Qiaoqiao stood at the door of the barracks, staring at the dirty barracks inside and said.

Mu Xiao covered his mouth and nodded, and at this time, Han Yu walked towards the two of them from inside, scooping up his trousers and no longer looked like a deputy general, but like a farmer who had just returned from the field. Seeing Mu Xiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao standing at the door, he squeezed out a smile to greet him. Walked to a stop three meters away from the two of them, for fear that the stench on their bodies would smoke them.

"Brother Mu Xiao, after the collapse of the Demon Mountain last night, the stone gate here can no longer be opened, General He said that the sub-camp of the protector will be moved to the moat camp to merge, I don't think you need to go in. Han Yu patted the stains on his hands and said.

Mu Xiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao glanced at each other, looked back at Han Yu again and said, "It's okay, we want to go to Tongyou, it's a little far from the main camp." We won't be able to go, and we'll bother Han Xiong to send a message to the general when he arrives. By the way, Lord Tai should be here soon. ”

"Hey, after all, let my father-in-law guard this place!" Han Yu said with some disappointment.

Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned, her face was very puzzled, and asked Han Yu, "Isn't this place going to be moved to the city guard camp and merged?

"This is to move away, but some people will be left to guard this stone gate, so as not to have accidents, after all, this time the Demon Mountain collapsed overnight, and the stone gate here cannot be opened, which seems to be connected, so the general ordered the soldiers of the sub-battalion to merge into the city protection camp, and the soldiers in the border city will no longer have the city border, collectively referred to as the Qingyang Army. Han Yu said with some excitement in his eyes.

"It seems that General He Yingxia's entourage has received a new military order, so we will set off on the spot, and we will have a period later. Mu Xiao stretched out his hand to say goodbye to Han Yu.

Although Han Yu was a little reluctant, he seemed to have nothing to keep at this time, so he could only bow goodbye

。 Watching Mu Xiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao leave, Han Yu had a faint smile on his face: "I hope we can see each other again!"

For Mu Xiao, the border city is just a passing city, but what has happened in the past few days is more or less related to him. Looking at the distant city behind him, Mu Xiao sighed softly with complex thoughts. Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was walking aside, was also sullen because of Yi Ling's affairs. It's strange to say, almost everyone in the border city has forgotten about the awakening of evil spirits, but Jiang Qiaoqiao remembers it as clearly as Mu Xiao. Although she hadn't seen the scene of Yi Ling's transformation with her own eyes, she didn't seem to be too surprised by such an outcome.

"Qiaoqiao, you don't seem to be too surprised by Yi Ling's matter!" Mu Xiao asked with some confusion in the back.

Jiang Qiaoqiao made a swish from the branch in his hand in front of him, turned around and glanced at Mu Xiao, raised his willow eyebrows and said: "This is not surprising, when Yi Ling was born, there were masters who said that someone planted a demon seed on Yi Ling, and as she grew older, the demon seed would occupy all of her sooner or later, and she was destined to be an evil person." ”

"Then you and her ......" Mu Xiao didn't expect Jiang Qiaoqiao to be so direct, they were originally very good sisters, even if Yi Ling really became bad, wouldn't it be so direct?

Walking through a pile of rocks, Jiang Qiaoqiao turned around and gasped, looked at Mu Xiao from top to bottom with his hands on his waist and said, "Do you think I have no conscience?" Jiang Qiaoqiao, seeing that this place happened to be covered by the shade of the tree, bent down and sat down and continued: "We have known each other for a long time, and at that time, the Yi family felt that Yi Ling was an ominous person, and no one treated her except for Old Man Yi, so although she is a member of the Yi family, she is rarely in the Yi family living in Liaocheng but in Taixu. At that time, I was also disliked by my mother, and we became sisters who shared the same disease......"

Jiang Qiaoqiao seems to have sunk into the memory of childhood, and it is strange to say that Gu Ling knew that Yi Ling was a child who was planted with a demon seed, but he never objected to him associating with Jiang Qiaoqiao, and even was still a little gentle with Yi Ling. Since childhood, Jiang Qiaoqiao and Yi Ling have both known that one day Yi Ling may become bad.

"At that time, we said that if one day she really turned bad, I would kill her with my own hands. On the contrary, if I became bad, she would kill me with her own hands. Jiang Qiaoqiao said this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Even if she is really heinous, I'm not sure if I can do it!"

Mu Xiao stood aside and looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao in surprise, what kind of promise was this. But what made Mu Xiao most strange was that when Yi Ling was still young, she knew that she had a demon seed in her body, didn't anyone think about taking the opportunity to get rid of it? Mu Xiao's puzzled eyes were caught by Jiang Qiaoqiao, she lifted her cheeks and looked ahead, although the scenery of this mountain was not bad, but she didn't seem to have the intention of watching.

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked sideways at Mu Xiao who had already walked up and said, "You must be very curious, why can Yi Ling have a demon seed in her body and live for so long, right? In fact, when she was very young, the Yi family did not make her worse, and even burned her to death. If it weren't for Old Man Yi's existence, it is estimated that Yi Ling would have been dead a long time ago, and I, Jiang Qiaoqiao, would not have this only sister. ”

Mu Xiao didn't know what to say for a while, sitting next to Jiang Qiaoqiao, at this time he felt that Jiang Qiaoqiao seemed to be more pitiful than himself, although he still didn't know who his biological parents were, but at least he also had a very happy childhood, at least the villagers of the Thunder Clan were very good to him, of course, a Mu Tiantian also made his heart like a knife, but so what. Although Jiang Qiaoqiao has a mother and younger brother, she lives more like an orphan than herself.

"Qiaoqiao, have you ever hated your mother?" Mu Xiao asked leisurely looking up at the clear blue sky,

He didn't dare to look at Jiang Qiaoqiao, afraid that he would not be able to help but give her a hug.

Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't answer, but got up and walked towards the slope. There was a clattering sound from the rocks, and the eggs rolled down when they were big. Mu Xiao also got up and walked down the rocks, and below was a long valley, where the overgrown weeds could no longer see where the road was. The two of them walked down the hill one after the other, but fortunately the trees here were half-shaded from the sun, so they would not be so exposed.

Mu Xiao took the water bladder on his waist in the back, trotted forward and trotted two steps before Jiang Qiaoqiao, handed the water bladder to her and said: "Drink saliva first, I have walked here for a long time under the sun, let's rest here for a while and then walk." ”

"Didn't we just rest?" Jiang Qiaoqiao replied expressionlessly, not taking Mu Xiao's water bladder, but making a clean place to sit down.

Mu Xiao was slightly embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps, why did he mention Jiuling just now. Glancing back at Jiang Qiaoqiao's side face, Mu Xiao took out a dagger and picked up some long grass on the side of the road, and sat with his back to Jiang Qiaoqiao and tinkered.

It is estimated that for about two quarters of an hour, the two did not have a word of conversation. Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was originally angry, secretly turned around at this time. Good guy, if you don't talk to yourself, you still have your back to yourself, which makes Jiang Qiaoqiao even more angry.

burst

He picked up a piece of dry mud on the ground and smashed it on Mu Xiao and said fiercely, "Are you really going not to talk to me?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare!" Mu Xiao turned his head and looked innocently at Jiang Qiaoqiao, who had already stood up.

Jiang Qiaoqiao waved her white skirt and walked towards Mu Xiao at this time: "Okay, we've been sitting for a long time, we must walk to Tongzhen after dark, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wilderness!"

Seeing Jiang Qiaoqiao's anxious appearance, Mu Xiao patted his ass and got up and smiled: "Well, okay, it's just right, you put it on and try it!"

Mu Xiao didn't know when he had an extra hat woven from long grass in his hand, although it looked a little ugly, but it was okay to block out the sun. At this time, Jiang Straw Hat was handed to Jiang Qiaoqiao, and the latter actually showed a touched expression.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's tone softened suddenly, without the anger just now, she looked at Mu Xiao with bright eyes and said, "So you are sitting and not talking to make a straw hat for me?"

"Put it on and take a look, the mountains in front of us are bare, and there is not even a shady place, what should I do if we tan you!huh?" Mu Xiao's straw hat was placed in front of Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Jiang Qiaoqiao had another thought at this moment, looking at the straw hat in front of her, although her craftsmanship was like a reckless man, how much she hoped that the man in front of her could put it on her head with her own hands.

Mu Xiao is also a wooden fish head, and the girl's mind doesn't seem to be very clear, so at this time, Ke Jin handed the straw hat in front of him. Jiang Qiaoqiao reluctantly took the straw hat and said to him, "Mu Xiao, will it be ugly to wear this?"

"You look good in my eyes!"

Mu Xiao's words blurted out, and the two looked at each other for a moment, as if two thunderbolts collided violently, spreading brilliant sparks in each other's eyes, and for a while they seemed to forget that they were in the wilderness

"Give it to me, I'll put it on for you. Mu Xiao reached out and took back the straw hat that had just been picked up by Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Carefully inspect it with your hands, for fear that there will be grass thorns left. The moment the straw hat was put on her head, Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes were hazy, and she seemed to feel an alternative warmth at this moment.
