Text Chapter 56: Demon Fox Xixi
Zhou Jiujian and the others have been walking for more than ten days, and on the way, the mountains and rivers are tall and short, and they have seen a lot. The two of them made this trip specifically to pick the inaccessible mountain road, compared to the post road, but also avoided those twists and turns, and also walked in the snow, compared with the two, it is difficult to say which side is more difficult to walk.
However, at the feet of teenagers and girls, it can be regarded as walking on the ground.
Ten days ago, the two of them had walked out of the territory of Dongyingguo, what they didn't expect was that the front foot of the two of them had just walked out not long ago, and it didn't take two days to find that some people who were running and fleeing suddenly appeared behind them, first a few people in front of them, more than a dozen people, and then gradually evolved into a long queue, at a glance, the number of people who could not see the end was especially large.
The young man stepped forward to ask someone, only to learn that most of them had also fled from Dongyingguo, and a few days ago, the only three cities in Dongyingguo, the last city, Shangyang City, was also breached, and the county guard Guo Zixi had nothing to defend, so he had no choice but to surrender.
Hearing such a news, the young man felt that it was not surprising, thinking that even their capital had been captured, and Shangyang City was relatively speaking, if you talked about the strength of the city's defenders, it was impossible to compare with the capital of a country, and it would naturally fall sooner or later.
However, the strange thing is that why did this group of fleeing people not flee north to the territory of Later Chu, but chose to go south? It stands to reason that after all, the Eastern Winning Kingdom was a small country under the vassal of Later Chu, and the Later Chu court had the responsibility and would inevitably give them shelter, and it was impossible to abandon them.
Isn't it safer to go north?
The person Zhou Jiujian went to inquire about was a middle-aged man with all his belongings, but he only had such a package, and he didn't see his family with him, he seemed to be a lonely person, but he was a little similar to a young man.
I saw this middle-aged man, with a sad face, listened to the young man's question, but told him an even more shocking news: "Little brother, don't you know, we originally wanted to flee north to Houchu earlier, but now we can't go there." I heard that after that, the Chu court had already blocked the border passes of the two places, not allowing anyone to pass, and was still gathering a large army, maybe one day, it would hit us to the south, and when the time came, we couldn't get by, and if we couldn't run, we would have to suffer sooner or later. ”
As soon as the young girl heard this, she naturally understood the situation, and when she thought about it, the Chu Dynasty did not sit still, and in just a few days, it had already begun to gather soldiers and horses.
The young man suddenly thought of something, and asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, do you know if it was a country that captured your Dongying?"
I heard the middle-aged man reply: "Where can we win a country in the east, little brother, let me tell you, more than ten countries, large and small, within a radius of more than 10,000 miles from us, have all been conquered! As for which country has such great ambitions, I don't know, but I only know that their soldiers and soldiers, all dressed in black armor, and on the banner, a white strange bird is carved and painted, and there are many armors, and in just a few days, we have completely swept away the land of Beidaze. ”
The young man asked this question, but he learned a lot of news. Most of what should be known was also clear, so he didn't ask more, thanked the middle-aged man, and didn't forget to give him more than a dozen copper coins.
Zhou Jiujian was very curious about the black-armored army that the middle-aged man said, and he planned to go all the way south along the post road here, and go to the next city to have a good experience.
Although it is said that there are only a dozen small countries in Daze, the strength of a country may not be very strong, but at all, all of them belong to the Later Chu Dynasty, and they have been paying tribute to the Later Chu Dynasty for generations, and they are naturally protected and supported by it behind the scenes. And now, there is an army, or a dynastic state, that has captured them all, which is nothing more than a naked provocation towards Hou Chu, and it is also violating the bottom line of a hegemonic dynasty.
If you don't have enough strength and adequate preparation, then the result will be predictable.
It's just that under this continent and in this chaotic land, people can once again recognize the prestige of the Later Chu Dynasty, as well as its inoffensive majesty.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yue stopped Zhou Jiujian and interrupted the curiosity in his heart.
The boy was very strange and asked the girl, but he only heard her say that it was intuition, but he couldn't say the specific reason.
Anyway, it's better not to run into those armoured armies, it's not a good thing.
Zhou Jiujian was still confused, but seeing Liu Yue so insistent, he also broke off his own thoughts, anyway, it was just to satisfy his own curiosity, if he took it seriously, it really didn't matter if he looked at it or not, but if it was really because of this little selfish thought, if he really encountered something bad at that time, then he would definitely regret it.
Therefore, the young man also obeyed the girl's wishes, and then the road, all the way, was really trekking through mountains and rivers, far away from the official road of the post road and the land of people.
In the mountains and forests, it has been winter for a long time, most of the beasts, but they have hibernated early, and the chance of meeting the spirit beasts is extremely rare, but the boy and the girl have really encountered such a little monster beast on the way for more than ten days. Looks like a plush snow rabbit, but it doesn't have such long ears, its eyes are purple, its mouth is baring its fangs and constantly spitting out green and yellow clouds. Zhou Jiujian and the two of them were taken aback, and then they also raised their swords and stared at this little demon beast, but fortunately, its ferocity was not so great, and when they met the two of them, it was just a normal sense of vigilance, and when the distance between the two people and the beast gradually moved away, they saw that it first looked at the two of them with a vigilant face, and then slowly moved backwards and retreated, retreated more than a dozen steps, and then turned around and disappeared into the vast snow.
It's also very humane.
......
Although it is still at the northern end of Daze, it is still according to the current itinerary, walking for more than half a month, and it is also possible to reach the middle of Daze.
It is also a real place of strife and chaos among nations.
As for the place where they are now, Zhou Jiujian also knows quite well.
From Dongying all the way to the south, it is the territory of Changxi Country, and then to the southeast, which is also in the Turbulent Cloud Mountain Range to the west of Feifeng Country.
This Chaotic Cloud Mountain Range, compared to Qingyun Mountain, is naturally much inferior, but if compared with the Baizhu Mountain outside Shangyang City, it is even better.
In this mountain, the aura of the mountains and rivers is quite sufficient, and the little demon beast that the two of them encountered before was also encountered not long after entering the mountain.
However, except for the time when I encountered these spirits and monsters, I haven't seen them again.
And the two of them have been in the mountain for two days.
It can be regarded as the highest mountain in this Troubled Cloud Mountain.
At this point, it will be nightfall.
The two of them sat quietly in a sheltered cave on the mountain.
The wind and snow outside also began to make a big splash again, and the sky was full of snow, covering everything outside the cave, and there was also a howling wind, with the chaotic snow falling on the front of the cliff cave.
In the depths of the cave, Zhou Jiujian found many branches and roots early, and lit a fire inside. The flames dispelled all the cold in the cave, but it brought a burst of comfortable warmth.
Although in terms of the cultivation of the two of them, there is no need to make a fire to keep warm, but at night, the cave is pitch black, but it is really inconvenient. Besides, the boy and the girl are in the hole, and the lonely man and the widow are really embarrassed if they face each other in the darkness and are relatively speechless.
However, the two have been together for a long time, and they have already cultivated some tacit understanding, so it won't be so embarrassing.
Tonight, as always, the boy offered to keep a vigil with him.
Liu Yue originally wanted to go to the vigil, but this time it was the turn of the teenager to insist again and again, that is, not to let the girl come to the vigil. Helpless, she could only give up and let Zhou Jiujian arrange it.
Although it is a vigil, the young man is actually also practicing, and his soul is traveling, but now he can already wander and perceive it within five zhang.
There was a heavy snow outside the cave, and suddenly, a red figure suddenly broke in.
"Who!" The young man's spirit happened to be wandering out, and immediately sensed this figure, and immediately returned to his body, and then opened his eyes violently, and with a low shout, his right hand was already pressed on the plane wood sword placed on the ground beside him.
Hearing that the young man drank, Liu Yue, who was already meditating with her eyes closed on the side of the fire, also opened her eyes, and she didn't see any movements, but the white jade jing had slowly floated on her shoulder, but it didn't emit a dazzling white light, and I saw that it was still in the form of a slap sword, and it didn't reveal its original appearance.
However, if you want to use it to kill the enemy, it is enough for a while.
I saw the red figure that broke into the hole, with a body of residual snow, and then revealed a delicate and moving face.
"Miss, it's me!" A pleasant voice came out, just like the yellow warbler singing willows, and Zhou Jiujian was a little stunned when he heard it.
It turned out to be a twenty-eight girl, delicate, charming and seductive. Under the small figure wrapped in the red dress, it looks particularly plump and mature, which makes people look at it, and I can't help but feel surprised in my heart, and I am really amazed!
Before the young man came back to his senses, the girl had already shaken off the snowflakes all over her body, and then, like a gust of wind, flew over, and immediately hugged Liu Yue on the side, and then stopped letting go, and lay in the girl's arms, with a look of attachment and dependence.
This scene was really dumbfounded when Zhou Jiujian saw it.
Liu Yue was also a little unable to react, and when the girl in the red dress flew to herself, looking at this familiar posture and the familiar beautiful face in her arms, the girl reacted and said in surprise: "Xixi!?"
Xixi?
The boy felt that the name was always familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.
Memories of the effort.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind.
This...... She, is that demon fox??
