[The eighth day of the second month of the tenth year of Daqian Jingyi, the time of unitary, the front hall of Xufu]

Xu Ke and Yiqing returned to their mansion, and when the women saw that they had returned safely, they all hugged each other tightly and couldn't help crying with joy......

The heavy rain has been falling non-stop, the Weishui River in the north of Chang'an has been full, and the large and small ditches in the city have also been full of rainwater, and even the streets and alleys and avenues are full of rushing water. Everyone no longer has to worry about the lack of water, Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan, and Yao Zibei moved out of all the big tanks in the house, and after receiving the rain, they simply boiled several tanks of hot water, and everyone took a hot bath happily.

Seeing that the world had returned to normal and that they no longer had to worry about food shortages, they took out the best food reserves in the stove and storehouse. Yao Zibei cooked a big pot of rice porridge for everyone, and carefully cooked a large pot of bear meat lichen soup. Everyone sat in the rain pavilion in the back garden, drinking porridge and eating meat while watching the beautiful scenery of heavy rain under the dazzling sun.

Since the renovation of the Xu Mansion, this Wenyu Pavilion has not allowed everyone to really hear the sound of rain until today.

With warm sunshine in the sky and clean rain on the ground, Xu Ke and the five women stayed in their backyard, eating and drinking, talking and laughing loudly...... To him, this scene seemed like a dream.

Everyone is thinking the same thing, it's been a long time since I've had this pleasure.

......

At the end of the unitary period, there was a knock on the door outside Xu's mansion, Xu Ke went over to open the door, and saw that the person who came was Song Jinhua, the chief manager of the capital.

Old friends came, Xu Ke welcomed him warmly, and it was dinner time, and everyone was dining together in the front hall. Xu Ke invited Song Jinhua to dine together, and Song Jinhua readily agreed.

Speaking of Song Jinhua's intention, he said that today he heard that Xu Ke and his entourage returned safely from Ba Mountain, and he came to visit him on the order of the Son of Heaven.

Hu Yiyi and the other four women saw Song Jinhua coming in the evening, knowing that he must have something to tell, and after the women ate a little, they got up and left the table and returned to Honghu to play cards.

Only Xu Ke and Song Jinhua were left in the front hall, and after Song Jinhua drank a glass of "water wine", he suddenly said with deep meaning:

"Brother Xu, do you know that General Shen has returned triumphantly today, I heard that he has won a big battle!"

Xu Ke said disappreciably: "Oh...... Shen Huan won the battle, who did he win?"

Song Jinhua said: "Today he led his troops out of the city, returned to the city when Shen, and brought two important prisoners when he came back. ”

Xu Ke asked, "Which two?"

Song Jinhua said: "These two people are dead and alive, speaking of the one who was captured alive by General Shen, Brother Xu...... You would never have imagined that he was the Demon Lord who commanded the three armies of the Demon Race and was famous in the entire Demon Realm. The Demon Lord still had a mask on his face, and I heard that a soldier had found him from a stinking ditch. Poor this demon lord, for some reason, he could not see the way with his eyes, and he could not walk on his legs, and as a result, he fell into a ditch and could not get up, but fortunately the soldier arrived in time to salvage him......"

Song Jinhua relished the story of the Demon Monarch's arrest, but Xu Ke was not interested in it, and he asked again: "That...... What about the dead?"

Song Jinhua said: "The one who died is the Demon King of Tsing Yi......"

"The Demon King of Tsing Yi?" Xu Ke couldn't help but exclaim: "He...... Did he die? How did he die?"

Song Jinhua was slightly stunned when he saw that Xu Ke was so concerned about the characters of the demon clan, and immediately replied: "I heard from his subordinates that General Shen led his thousand-man guards to attack the Bashan Demon Cave, and I saw that those demon soldiers had all died one by one, and only the Tsing Yi Demon King was alone, sitting on his own Taishi chair, with a sharp sword in his chest. Blood poured from his chest, but the man's expression was very serene, and he must have killed himself......"

Xu Ke couldn't help but show a look of sadness on his face, and he felt a sadness in his heart, as if muttering to himself: "Tsing Yi Demon King...... Tsing Yi Demon King, Brother Nangong, I didn't expect you to leave like this...... Ahem, if you knew today, why did you bother in the first place?!"

Seeing Xu Ke's expression, Song Jinhua knew that Xu Ke must know the Tsing Yi Demon King, maybe the two were still old friends, but he didn't ask at this time, but diverted the topic and said:

"Brother Xu, today General Shen fought such a big victory, destroyed the entire Bashan Demon Nest, and captured the Demon Lord alive. The people in Chang'an City are even more welcome......"

After a pause, Song Jinhua took another sip of "water wine", and then said: "At that time, our demon slaying general rode on a yellow horse and traveled from the west gate to the outside of Xingqing Palace. The common people below, all of them raised their arms and shouted, waving their flags and shouting, it can be said that there are thousands of empty alleys, and the grand occasion is unprecedented! They all regard our General Shen as a great hero and hero! Such a lively scene, Brother Xu, why didn't you come? Speaking of which, you should also have a share of credit for this attack on Bashan!"

Xu Ke waved his hand and said: "Forget it! Give him all the credit to Shen Huan! This time I attacked Bashan, and I was able to come back safely, and my heart was already very satisfied......

After listening to Song Jinhua's statement, Xu Ke was really overwhelmed with emotion. He said in his heart, where is you Shen Huan who destroyed the demon nest in Bashan, is that God good! You Shen Huan led the rear army, and you should have rushed to Bashan to join me three days ago, but you stood still and sat back and watched my thousand-strong team being swallowed up by those demons but was indifferent and did not give any help. If it weren't for the sudden change in the sky, I'm afraid that even I, Xu Ke, would have been dead by this time!

However, the matter has come to this, since he and Yiqing have returned safely, Xu Ke does not want to expose his Shen Huan's old background again. Either way, the world has returned to normal, the demons have been destroyed, and humanity has won a great victory, and for him, this is enough......

Song Jinhua asked: "Brother Xu, General Shen, as the commander of the rear army, should have gone to Bashan three days ago, but I heard that he has been staying in the city for the past three days, and has never sent a single soldier to the Bashan Demon Cave, is there such a thing?...... Brother Xu can explain the details of this situation for me?"

Xu Ke shook his head and said, "Brother Song, forget it! In this battle of Bashan, our human race has won a great victory, why bother to investigate the previous matter?"

Song Jinhua lowered his head and thought for a while

He immediately got up and said with a smile: "Okay! Since Brother Xu doesn't want to bring up the old things again, then I won't be reluctant! Song still has something to do tonight, so I'll leave if I don't want to stay for a long time!"

After that, Song Jinhua got up and went out, and Xu Ke followed him to the door. When Song Jinhua was about to leave, he suddenly turned around, as if he wanted to say something, and finally couldn't help but say to Xu Ke:

"Brother Xu, we are old friends! I have always admired you as a person! However, if you treat others sincerely, others may not accept your affection! Next...... Brother Xu should be careful! This Chang'an City may not be a good place to stay......"

After speaking, Song Jinhua didn't say anything more, then arched his hand towards Xu Ke, turned around and strode away.

Xu Ke thought for a moment and returned to the center of the hazelnut in the backyard.

The women also dispersed the game and went back to the house to rest. When Hu Yiyi came to Zhenling Residence, he asked what Song Jinhua said, and Xu Ke talked about everything.

After listening to this, Hu Yiyi thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Xiao Wuxi, why don't we leave this Chang'an City?"

"Leaving Chang'an City?" Xu Ke wondered, "Why is this?"

Hu Yiyi said: "Listen to what Master Song said, you may be in danger right now! Let's hurry up!"

Xu Ke said: "Hurry up, Sister Hu, it's time now, isn't it too anxious? What's more, we have finally settled here, and now the house has just been repaired, where can we find such a place to stay in this moment?"

Hu Yiyi hurriedly said: "Xiao Wuxi, didn't you hear Lord Song's sentence 'Chang'an City may not be a good place to stay'? He has already said it so clearly, how can you still be so ignorant! Although this house is big, it is all outside the body! As long as we are together as a family, where is it not home?"

Xu Ke touched his forehead, thought about it for a long time, but shook his head, and said with a smile: "Sister Hu, are you too worried? Brother Song may mean to remind me to be an official in the future and to be careful of Shen Huan." I don't want to be the official of that Laoshizi, so I'll go to the Xingqing Palace tomorrow and resign from that general!"

Hu Yiyi persuaded herself: "Xiao Wuxi, listen to my sister's words, let's be careful! Let's leave and get out of Chang'an City first." Now that there are no monsters in this world, it doesn't hurt to go out at night. If there is really nowhere to go, let's go back to Xuchang first! There is a white mouse carriage of the second sister, and it will be there in two hours......"

Xu Ke waved his hand again and again: "I listen to my sister, let's leave Chang'an tomorrow! But tonight is really a little late! Although there are no monsters outside the city at the moment, but now it is still a cold winter, the cold wind outside is biting, my sister is weak these days, and her complexion is not good, I saw you at noon today without drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge and ran to the side to vomit, presumably my sister suffered some cold in her stomach, the cold air of this big night is pressing, my sister must not go out!"

"Little no disease, sister, I'm not sick! You just listen to me this time, okay?" Hu Yiyi said anxiously.

"No...... Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until noon tomorrow......"

No matter how hard Hu Yiyi tried to persuade her, this time, Xu Ke seemed to have eaten a scale and was resolute in refusing. Hu Yiyi had no choice but to follow him. She also thought in her heart that maybe she was suspicious, Song Jinhua just came to remind her kindly, and there was nothing wrong in the first place.

Thinking that Xu Ke cared so much about himself, he just had a burst of nausea in his chest during lunch today, and hurriedly ran to the stove, this scene was seen by him, and he still remembered it in his heart, Hu Yiyi couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

Having said that, it was the middle of the night at this time, even if they could afford to eat, the third and fourth sisters were weak, so they were bumpy in the middle of the night, and going to Xuchang must be another toss and fatigue, and the two of them might not be able to bear it......

So, Hu Yiyi didn't think much about it anymore, at this time the night was dark, she immediately urged Xu Ke to hurry back to his Linglong residence!

I don't want to, but Xu Ke is cheeky at this time and insists on staying in the middle of Hazelly.

Hu Yiyi's face sank, and she said that she was unwell these days, even if you want to stay overnight, you are not allowed to "touch" me!

Who knows, Xu Ke still refuses to leave. Hu Yiyi "lamented" and had to follow him.

That night, the two fell asleep, Xu Ke hugged Hu Yiyi's soft body, and felt extremely satisfied and happy in his heart. Hu Yiyi was still preoccupied, she still couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and after a long time, she suddenly asked in a low voice: "Xiao Wuxi, don't you really want to go?"

Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out that Hu Yiyi's "walking" at this time meant "traveling back to ten years ago", and immediately replied with a smile: "Don't go, Yiyi, as I said, I will always accompany you and accompany you through this journey." When you are all old, and you have all left this world, it will be too late for me to go back!"

"That's ...... Is it really possible?"

"What's not to do! Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, no matter how long I stay here, it's still the day I return to the Divine King Pavilion. My time, since it has stood still at that end, is infinite at this end!"

"It seems to be the same!" Hu Yiyi couldn't help laughing: "You two are really interesting! One should have been here, but he went to heaven, and the other should not have been here, but he refused to leave...... At the end of the day, I can't tell which one you are really 'you'."

Xu Ke said with a smile: "I believe that before going to Heavenly Court, the 'I' in ten years must have thought about letting this me in ten years accompany you and protect you! Otherwise, how could he leave you with confidence? Since the 'I' in ten years later has such a lot of trust in me, how can I live up to his expectations?"

Hu Yiyi couldn't help but turn around, stretched out her slender jade finger, poked it violently at Xu Ke's head, and said with a grin: "You will be poor! You are good, you have been with us in this world for a few lifetimes, and you have enjoyed all the blessings." As soon as you turn around and return to the Divine King Pavilion, you can still accompany us for another lifetime! Our four great beauties have even accompanied you for two lifetimes! All the good things in this world can be taken advantage of by you!"

Xu Ke was a little puzzled: "No, sister, Sister Yiqing can't be counted, she will be in the future."

Maybe they'll leave us."

"Don't worry!" Hu Yiyi said indeed: "Yiqing, sooner or later, I will also be your person! Sister, I am not a fool, how can I not see her affection for you?"

"......" Xu Ke couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed of what Hu Yiyi said about his heart, or he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart, he only felt that his cheeks were hot for a while, but fortunately, in the dark, Hu Yiyi couldn't see the expression on his face.

Hu Yiyi asked again: "What kind of place is this God King Pavilion, in fact, sister, I really want to go in once!"

Xu Ke said: "Sister, don't worry, next time, if I see the old Bai Pavilion master, I will definitely take you in with me, so that my sister can also appreciate the wonders inside." ”

Hu Yiyi stopped talking, but sighed secretly inside, if I can really enter the Divine King Pavilion, I must go back to ten years ago and have a good word with you!

......

......

The night in a hurry had passed, and at dawn the next day, Xu Ke had just gotten up, and suddenly saw a large number of people coming to the door of Xu's mansion. A guard captain strode into the door with dozens of soldiers holding his head high, and shouted loudly at Xu Ke: "The holy decree has arrived!

Xu Ke rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the sky overhead, a round of rising sun was erupting from the east, and it was really a good weather. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the sky was still clear, and the black smoke from those demon caves had finally dissipated without a trace.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ke walked up to the captain of the guard and asked directly.

Seeing that Xu Ke had no intention of kneeling, the captain of the guard had no choice but to unfold the paper scroll and read aloud:

"Emperor Daqian said:

Xu Ke, the great general of the demon suppression, was deeply favored by the emperor, and was appointed by the Son of Heaven to have full power to crusade, but he was a pity that he was a wolf with ambition, and he did not want to serve the court, sweep away the demons, and boost the prestige of the country! He secretly colluded with the demon clan Tsing Yi to kill the same kind of our clan, and disregarded the lives of the soldiers.

"What!" Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan and the other four women were also on the side, and when they heard that the emperor had made such a holy decree, they were all stunned and shocked on the spot. Yiqing was even more angry, she immediately rushed forward, grabbed the captain of the guard by the collar, and said angrily:

"In order to help you get rid of demons and kill monsters, my brother Xu almost gave his life to Bashan!

"Bold Witch! Dare to speak wildly, and despise the power of heaven!" The captain of the guard relied on himself to bring two hundred-man troops, and not to be outdone, he shouted loudly: "Now, this house has been surrounded by my soldiers and horses, if you dare to make a mistake, I will give an order and arrest you all!"

Yi Qing pulled out the double-strand sword on his body and put it on the neck of the captain of the guard: "You say I'm a 'witch', okay!

Although the dozens of soldiers under the captain of the guard had already drawn their swords and surrounded Yiqing, they never thought that this stunning woman in front of them would have such a powerful martial arts.

"You ...... Do you dare to disobey the order!" said the captain of the guard, who was obviously not guts enough, although he was stubborn.

"What if you don't obey the order?" Yiqing sent the double-strand sword in his hand slightly forward, and the three-foot Qingfeng was cold, and the sharpness was compelling, so frightened that the captain of the guard suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly: "This woman, General Xu, the little one is just acting on orders, the woman spares her life, General Xu spares her life!"

"Forget it!" Xu Ke stepped forward to stop Yiqing and said, "Yiqing, don't be embarrassed by him, I'll just follow them!"

Yi Qing hurriedly said: "Sick brother! The emperor is clearly a rabbit and a dead dog! I can't explain the reason to them, so let's take the three sisters and go out of Chang'an!"

Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan and Yao Zibei beside him all nodded and said, "Little Wuxian (Brother Xu), let's go out of Chang'an!"

Xu Ke looked at the four women in front of him, and at this time, they were all staring at him, their eyes full of concern, worry, anxiety and enthusiasm. Unexpectedly, at this moment, these four beautiful women in the world were willing to risk their lives for themselves, and did not hesitate to disobey the Son of Heaven, and followed themselves to the end of the world from then on, and became enemies of the world's soldiers and horses......

With such four confidants, this life is enough!

However, how could he bear to really let them follow him to the end of the world from now on, at the expense of being enemies of the world?

Moreover, at this time, there are many people surrounding the entire Xu Mansion, even if they rush out of the Xu Mansion, they will have to break through the defense of the city gate. He and Yiqing can naturally escape, but the other three women are all mediocre in martial arts, in case there is a mistake, then it will be too late to regret it!

"Don't worry, I'll follow them, it's fine!" Xu Ke waved his hand at the four women and said resolutely.

"However, if you go to prison, God knows what they will do to you!" Yiqing said anxiously.

"It doesn't matter, those who are clear will be clear, and those who are turbid will be turbid! I want to see what means they will use?!" Xu Ke said calmly, and the person had already strode towards the front yard.

"Sick brother......" Yiqing stopped Xu Ke and almost cried.

"It's okay!Sister Qing, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely!" Xu Ke slowly pushed Yiqing away and comforted him softly.

"It's really not good, I still have that bead!" Xu Ke winked at Yiqing again and said with a smile.

"You stay in the house and protect them!"

Xu Ke finally whispered a word to Yiqing, and strode towards the door.

The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then with a wave of his right hand, he led dozens of soldiers and followed him out.

Leaving Yiqing and Hu Yiyi, all with tears in their eyes, they looked helplessly at Xu Ke's figure, escorted by the soldiers.

At this time, the whole mansion of Xufu was sunny, and after a day and a night of heavy rain, the flat ground was unusually clean......
