The efficiency of the imperial court is extremely fast, and after determining the information that the demon mutiny in the world has stopped, he immediately took out the data on the losses in various places, the approximate statistics of the number of demons and ghosts, and the distribution range, and at the same time designated the responsible armies in each place, and arranged Ye Qingfeng and others to each place.

Ye Qingfeng and the others originally thought that everyone would act together, but they didn't expect to be separated individually, and when they wanted to put forward this opinion, they were suppressed by General Cheng with his eyes.

After retiring from the court, when he returned to Tiance Mansion, General Cheng said in a deep voice: "You are not children anymore, you must get together for anything, Your Majesty is not unaware of your situation, but I just want to separate you and let you each exercise for a while." ”

"This time the mission is much lighter than your previous ones, and with your current cultivation, your life will not be in danger, but when you enter the real army and feel that atmosphere, you will grow a lot. ”

"It won't take too long to clear the demons in the world, whether it's friendship or other feelings between you, I'm sure you can accept such a period of separation. ”

has said that at this point, everyone naturally can't say anything anymore, whether they are together or not is not a big deal, everyone is not so hypocritical.

The night was late again, and in the courtyard of this Tiance Mansion, everyone used to talk about the demon changes in the world and the Dragon King of Jinghe, only a year had passed, but I felt that a lot of things had happened.

Ye Qingfeng and Ling Shuangyue sat in the pavilion, listening to Bai Wuwu and Xue Qianxun in the room in front of them as if they were arguing, looking at the lights in Muzi's white room being turned on, and the two figures were silent, as if they were reading a book.

Tomorrow is going to go on the expedition, this is the last night of everyone in Chang'an, the Chu family brothers and sisters and Zi Yanran are in their own home, so there are only the first six people left in Tiance Mansion.

"Have you brought all the softness?"

Ling Shuangyue asked softly, she was as quiet as water in the moonlight, and she seemed to be more mature and gentle than last year.

Ye Qingfeng nodded and smiled: "With the storage ring, everything is very convenient, but this time you go to Longyou Road, I go to Lingnan Road, we are so far away, I don't know when we will meet next time." ”

Ling Shuangyue couldn't help but laugh, covered her mouth and said, "Then how did you get over all these years before you met me?" I think you learned badly from Senior Brother Bai, and you can also say these sweet words about missing. ”

"Then you look up to Lao Bai. ”

Ye Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "He learned from me, I still need to learn from others?"

Ling Shuangyue said: "So you also have a history of relationships before? ”

"Absolutely not, absolutely self-taught. ”

Ye Qingfeng hurriedly proved his innocence, and then said in a daze: "No, Shuangyue, I found that you are poorer than before, you were not like this before." ”

Ling Shuangyue's face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "What kind of person I am, don't you still know." ”

Ye Qingfeng's heart warmed slightly, and said: "This time apart, go to various places separately, if you encounter a demon king-level existence with a high cultivation, you don't want to be strong, just cooperate with the army to kill him." ”

Ling Shuangyue said: "I still have this bit of proportion, you can't be as impulsive as before, you can't be reckless when you encounter things, and you can't always think about working hard, you have to use reason to solve problems." ”

Speaking of this, Ling Shuangyue sighed and said: "Today's Tang Dynasty Emperor is a far-sighted and well-conceived Emperor of the Ages, he split us up and threw us into the military camp, it may not be without the intention of taking precautions, after all, sooner or later we will fight with the Wuqi Demon Kingdom, and sooner or later we will fight with the existence of the Spirit Ruins Fragment. ”

"These battles are about the world, and they are often hundreds of thousands of millions of troops invested, not a single person can change the tide of the war, he just wants us to adapt to the atmosphere of the army in advance and accommodate it. ”

Ye Qingfeng nodded and said: "Only such a king can be able to block the impact of eternal figures like Chi You and Chaos Emperor Jade, who the world belongs to is still unknown, and who will win and who will lose in the future is not known, but at least one thing is certain, that is, the world ruled by His Majesty the Emperor today, the country is peaceful and prosperous, and Chi You and Chaos Emperor Jade have never proved themselves." ”

"The people of the world are deeply suffering from war and cannot withstand such changes in heaven and earth, so I will protect this world and do my part. ”

Ling Shuangyue said: "Don't forget, the army is also a good place to cultivate, and the tempering of blood and fire will make a person have a qualitative change. In the past year, we have accumulated so many insights in countless wars, and it is time to follow the battle and gradually digest it. ”

Ye Qingfeng held her hand and said, "Our own strength is the foundation of future security, we all have to live, so we must work hard to cultivate." In a way, I admire the Ghost King of Shura, he may be funny, but there is indeed a lot to learn from him. ”

"Don't worry. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, the moonlit night was extremely quiet, and the last moment of getting along would always pass quickly.

Early the next morning, everyone set out and went their separate ways to their respective areas.

This time, no one brought their pet companions, Bai Wuwu and Xue Qianxun left the ghost tiger and the little fat sheep in Tiance Mansion, and the nine-headed bird rested in the nearby mountains, taking care of the safety of Qinghe Town at any time, and even Ye Qingfeng didn't even bring a death knight, but asked it to protect Chang'an.

The butterfly elf was still in Mu Zibai's phantom butterfly fan, but Mu Zibai said that he would not let her come out.

This time, everyone was determined to go on their own.

Everyone finally set off and made a bet to see who would complete the task first and arrive in Chang'an, this bet was a bit unfair to Ye Qingfeng, who had a long journey, but at this time he didn't care about these details, whoever arrived in Chang'an at the latest, please have dinner.

Ye Qingfeng did not ride a horse, nor did he bring an entourage, one person and one sword, stepped forward, and went straight to Lingnan Road.

The road is long, but he never stops running, all the way over the mountains and mountains, unstoppable, breaking through many obstacles.

When his body was tired and his mana was exhausted, he never stopped, but every time the silence reached the extreme, a new force would emerge from his body to support his progress.

The mana is depleted again and again, but every time it is on the verge of drying up, it will recover, such a long-term load of physical state must be unbearable, Ye Qingfeng knows this truth, but he knows very well that his level of effort is still far behind.

This walk is more than two months, he faces the angry sun during the day, the starlight at night, no matter the weather is sunny or rainy, no matter the wind and thunder, but he never stops.

But under this arduous grind, he became more calm and more restrained, like a cold sword, but it was sheathed.

He finally arrived at Lingnan Road, came to the poor mountains and bad waters, and entered the army.

So the battle began, he followed the army all the way forward, killing demons and catching ghosts, bowing to everything, eating and living with the soldiers, and really felt the bravery of these Tang Dynasty warriors.

They are just mortals, but when they pick up their weapons, they dare to fight against powerful demon beasts, dozens of people surround and kill one, even if they are seriously injured, they will never retreat, and even if someone dies in battle, they never regret it.

The first thing Ye Qingfeng felt was their iron blood, they were not afraid of death, they were afraid of retreating, they were afraid of not having courage, and they were afraid of losing the glory of soldiers. They regard the glory and dignity of soldiers as more important than the sky and their own lives.

Secondly, what Ye Qingfeng felt was their obsession, what obsession, it was the obsession to repair the rivers and mountains.

They seem to want peace more than they do, and everyone thinks about killing demons and going home as soon as they finish the battle.

And they know very well what they are protecting, it is the mountains and rivers in front of them, the vast land under their feet, and the... Homeland!

"If we soldiers don't work hard, the common people have to work hard, if we men don't work hard, women and children have to work hard. How can you make women and children desperate. ”

The simple words had a local accent, but Ye Qingfeng was quite moved, he always felt that he had gained something, and he wanted to catch it, but he couldn't catch anything.

There are seventy or eighty states and hundreds of counties in Lingnan Province, and no matter how fast the march is, it will take a lot of time, Ye Qingfeng followed the army all the way to clean up the demons and evils, and in the blood, his temperament also became iron-blooded.

Looking at the hundreds of demon beasts in front of him, among which there were more than a dozen demon generals, a group of seven-star disciples were struggling to persevere. Ye Qingfeng led the army to arrive, and immediately killed the general.

Blood flowed all over the ground, not only demon beasts, but also a large number of soldiers died.

Ye Qingfeng was very heartbroken at the beginning, and he couldn't bear such a death, but he slowly got used to it.

This is war.

The meaning of war is to shed a small amount of blood and avoid a lot of bloodshed.

Every time he fought with a demon beast, the soldiers he lost were several times that of the demon beast, Ye Qingfeng gradually realized that the cruelty of the world was more terrible than he imagined, and to avoid more deaths, he had to give up a small part of his life coldly.

It's not noble, but it can only be so.

"It turns out that you are Senior Brother Ye! I have heard of your name!"

"You guys are so powerful, you actually won the Wuqi Demon Kingdom!"

"Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to see it. ”

The rescued seven-star square inch disciple was sighing, but Ye Qingfeng just looked at the corpses all over the ground and said slowly, "Did we win?"

This is a philosophical question that Ye Qingfeng has not yet understood.

But he may understand what Li Shimin meant, this majesty was born in Rongma and laid down half of the Tang Dynasty, he can see that his people are excellent in all aspects, but their hearts are not ruthless enough.

In this world, if you want to face the Demon Kingdom and the Spirit Ruins in the future, you can't be ruthless enough.

And the battle after that, you can't lose, and you can't afford to lose.

Ye Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the ground, his heart was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the faces of the villagers in Qinghe Town who were eager for hope.

The two were intertwined, like a heavy punch into Ye Qingfeng's chest.

He closed his eyes, and his body revealed endless golden light, entering an inexplicable ethereal state.

Why is it inexplicable? Because he still seems to have caught something, but he can't find what he has caught.
