Xu Ming followed Chu Feng back to the ancient city.

The gates of the ancient city are long gone, and the ruined walls are littered with stones. If it weren't for the fact that he could vaguely see one or two relatively intact houses from the large and small stones and stone pillars, Xu Ming really wouldn't have seen that this was once a city.

In the center of the castle is a large stone plate surrounded by broken stone pillars, which was supposed to be used as a place for sacrifices.

Chu Feng and the county lord Li Yu'an temporarily lived in a stone house not far from this circle.

The stone house was surprisingly well preserved, and although the cracks in the walls were already covered with moss and a few broken cobwebs, it was still obvious that it was a house.

The door of the stone house was gone, and a gray robe hung on the lintel, presumably Chu Feng used it as a curtain. Lift the "door curtain" and go in, the stone house is very clean, I think it was cleaned. The ground was covered with thatch that had been found out of nowhere, and there was a stone bed, which was also covered with grass. The space in the stone house is not too large or small, and it should be able to accommodate three people to move freely. At this time, there were five people in the stone house, and it was a little crowded, and everyone was inexplicably cramped.

The three girls sat on the stone bed, and Chu Feng and Xu Ming found a clean place and sat on the ground.

Xu Ming saw Li Yu'an up close for the first time, and couldn't help but take a closer look.

A few days ago, after taking a look from a distance in Zhuxiantai, Xu Ming had already seen that the county lord's appearance was not low.

Li Yu'an did not bury his father's appearance, his lips were as delicate as petals, and his fair skin was more crystal clear and flawless, his willow eyebrows were slightly curved, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. The best thing to look at is her eyes, although there is some tiredness hidden in her eyes, but the clear agility and heroic spirit are the same as Li Mu.

"It is worthy of being the protagonist, why is this affair so enviable!" Xu Ming sighed softly, and looked at Chu Feng, who was "not amazing", compared with his "prosperous beauty", and suddenly felt that his blessings were shallow, and he had no good looks and no one appreciated them.

Xu Ming was looking at the shadow and felt sorry for himself, but Li Yihuan and Li Yu'an chatted happily. They grew up together since childhood, naturally intimate, and they haven't seen each other for a few days.

Xu Ming's hearing is excellent, and he can vaguely hear what the two girls say, such as "elopement is really exciting", "I think Chu Feng is more handsome" and other rambling words.

"Ahem, what are you going to do after that?" Xu Ming opened his mouth to break the slightly awkward atmosphere. He looked at Chu Feng: "You can't go to Jingguo now, do you want to go back to the Rune Gate?"

Chu Feng shook his head: "Jingguo, I definitely want to go, I promised to go back to him alone." As for the sect ......" Chu Feng sighed: "Brother Xiang said that the sect master was jointly impeached by the second elder and the third elder because of his feud with the Qingyang Sect this time. In the end, the Council of Elders voted to remove the suzerain. ”

"Although the Second Elder and the Third Elder have been planning for the position of the Sect Master since the beginning of the morning, this incident is just an opportunity, but I still can't escape the blame. Chu Feng subconsciously reached into his pocket and was about to take out a cigarette, but suddenly remembered that Li Yu'an was still there, so he grabbed it in his pocket with his hand and stretched it out again.

"Besides, the successor sect master is a member of the Second Elder's lineage, and he has expelled me from the Divine Rune Sect. Chu Feng's tone was full of helplessness and loss, "I'm actually a casual cultivator now. ”

The room was quiet again, and the atmosphere was awkward again, only more gloomy than the last.

"It's okay, you still have us. Li Yu'an gently walked to Chu Feng's side and sat down, gently holding his hand.

"Then do you have any plans?" Xu Ming saw that Chu Feng was gradually coming out of his lost mood, and asked him, "How to break through the blockade of the Qingyang Sect and cross the Jingliang border." ”

"I have two options in mind. Chu Feng replied.

"Tell me about it. ”

"The first method, etc. Chu Feng stretched out a finger, "Since I have been expelled from the Divine Rune Sect, then the contradiction between the Divine Rune Sect and the Qingyang Sect has been resolved in name. Dealing with a loose cultivator, Wei Changtian's old guy has no reason to support the Qingyang Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to do things. ”

"The Qingyang Sect is not monolithic. As far as I know, the Law Enforcement Hall Master is a person under the command of the Great Elder, and he and Wei Changtian don't deal with each other very well. If you want to come here for a while, there will be fewer people from the Qingyang Sect on the Jingliang border, and at most they will be the gentlemen of Wei Changtian's family. That's when we'll be able to easily cross borders. ”

"How long will it be in the future?" Xu Ming asked.

Chu Feng shook his head: "I'm not sure, but with Wei Changtian's character, he will definitely delay it again and again, at least for another month,"

Xu Ming's scalp tingled a little when he heard this: "I estimate that it won't take a few days, and the city lord will be able to find this place immediately." Although he is unwilling to make a feud with the Divine Rune Sect, but you are now a loose cultivator, and you have abducted his daughter, I estimate that even if he doesn't give you to the Qingyang Sect at that time, you will have to withdraw the skin. Maybe it will hurt me. ”

Li Yu'an was unhappy, and pouted: "My father won't be like that!"

The girl's voice was soft, but Xu Ming didn't have the heart to appreciate it, he continued to ask Chu Feng: "What about the second way?"

"The second way is to go west, from Loulan Pass in Longxi, you can also enter Jingguo. The guard of Loulan Pass was once a disciple of the Shenrune Gate, and later became the son-in-law of the King of Liao, and became a member of the royal family, so he withdrew from the sect. Chu Feng stretched out two fingers, "Although I have left the sect, I still have some friendship when I think about it." Moreover, this senior brother did not deal with a few people from the Qingyang Sect back then, and there were not many people from the Qingyang Sect in Loulan Pass. It's not easy for us to be found when we walk away from Loulan Pass, and even if Senior Brother Liu knows, it is estimated that he will turn a blind eye!"

"Then what are you waiting for, just choose the second way, pack up, and set off at dawn!" Xu Ming was full of enthusiasm - the sooner he solved this matter, the sooner he could go north, and the closer he would be to Tang Jinling.

"If we choose the second option, we need to avoid the detection of the Qingyang Sect along the way, and we also need to stay away from the town, after all, my portrait has spread all over the Liang Kingdom. Chu Feng hesitated, "And there are mostly desert Gobi on the way, I am nothing, I can't let Yu An follow me to suffer from this boat." ”

"I'm fine. Li Yu'an looked at Chu Feng with an expression: "Xiaofeng, don't treat me as a vase, if you weren't afraid of hurting the child, maybe you wouldn't be my opponent!"

Xu Ming suddenly wanted to die head-on.

"Okay, okay, don't show off, get ready to go!" Xu Ming ate a wave of dog food, feeling a little irritable, urging the two who looked at each other.

"Actually, you don't have to come with me. Chu Feng looked at Xu Ming, "This is my own business, I don't want to involve you as well." Chu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Otherwise, Yu'an, you will first hide in this ancient city with Brother Xu Ming, and then come back to you after my Jingguo affairs are dealt with." Or you and Miss Yihuan go back to the city lord and me first, and I will definitely come back to you." ”

Xu Ming felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and got up early and walked out of the stone house.

Sure enough, the girl's cry came from the stone house: "Don't you want me and the child anymore, woo woo woo~~" I have to say that Li Yihuan and Li Yu'an, the two sisters, are really the same when they cry.

In the end, Chu Feng still gave in and agreed to take Li Yu'an with him.

As for Xu Ming. First of all, he is inseparable from this matter--his current identity in the eyes of the city lord may be the same as Chu Feng-he is his "son-in-law". Although Xu Ming didn't have the slightest idea of this.

Secondly, when he came out of Liangguo, he was not familiar with the place, and he made friends with Chu Feng, which can be regarded as a response.

In the end, it is also Xu Ming's selfishness - how Chu Feng thinks of it, how he looks like the life of the hero, making friends with Chu Feng, and even having a lifelong friendship with him, which should be of great benefit to himself. At most, he just saw the wrong person, Chu Feng didn't have the protagonist's life. But such a somewhat mysterious young genius is still worth befriending.

Xu Ming came to the stone plate in the city alone and took the cigarette from Chu Feng from his ear. snapped his fingers and lit his cigarette.

"Ahem, ahem. Xu Ming was snatched by the spicy smell of tobacco, and his throat hurt.

"The smoke in this world is a bit rushed!" Xu Ming didn't smoke much in his previous life, but when his relatives gave him a cigarette during the New Year's holidays, some relatives and friends who had a good relationship persuaded him to smoke one or two, and most of them were mellow cigarettes, and today was the first time he saw the power of tobacco.

"Senior Brother Ming, do we really want to follow Chu Feng to Loulan Pass?" Guan Chunuan's voice came from behind him.

Xu Ming hurriedly wiped away the tears that had just choked out, pretended to take a puff of cigarette, and coughed: "Cough, yes." ”

"Why, we can send Li Yihuan back to the City Lord's Mansion, and then continue north. Guan Chunuan walked to Xu Ming's side and stood side by side with him, "Could it be that senior brother has taken a fancy to that girl?" Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming felt Guan Chunuan's gaze, and he tried his best to pretend to be lonely: "Of course it's not because of Li Yihuan, although this little girl is very cute, I also have a good impression of her." But it's still far from liking. Xu Mingqiang endured the pungent smell of smoke and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "I did this for Chu Feng." ”

"Chu Feng?"

"Yes, this man, worth befriending. ”

Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming, who was trying to pretend to be cool, and couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Senior brother, you can't pretend to be cool at all, forget it." ”

Xu Ming's face was a little hot when he was pierced, but he still stiffened his mouth: "This is called pretending to be cool, can the handsome guy's thing be called pretending?

Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming, who was blushing, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xu Ming's ear: "Senior Brother Ming said that he has a good impression of Li Yihuan but doesn't like it, what about me?"

The girl exhaled like an orchid, and her moist voice blew Xu Ming's ears red, and she couldn't even cover the night.

"I, me, me, this, this, ......this,

Looking at Xu Ming, whose face was about to burn and his speech was stammering, Guan Chunuan smiled happily, she winked at Xu Ming and went back to the stone house.

"This, this, this, me, me, I ......" Xu Ming hadn't slowed down, like a babbling child.
