In the battle of the mass grave, tens of thousands of demon beasts were wiped out, and it is estimated that some of them escaped by luck, and they did not dare to show their faces, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. However, Zhang Chengjian, the general of the demon subduer, was even more busy, sent people to guard the blockade line tightly, and sent out many people to investigate, and ordered the people of the elite regiment to turn out to patrol. The 50,000 reinforcements sent by King Yun have also arrived, and the army is stepping up its drills every day, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers is unprecedentedly high.

Not to mention how busy the army is, everyone in this battle completely bowed to Lingshan. After seeing Qiu Wangchuan's strength, he felt that he was not half a star, and those who used to say that their sect was strong no longer boasted. In front of the real masters, who dares to be presumptuous?

But one day, Qiu Wangchuan's true qi has recovered, but she doesn't go out, and someone wants to visit her, but she doesn't see it. It is normal for people who cultivate the truth to have a cold temperament, and sometimes they retreat for a month or two, and they don't see people or eat or drink.

Hai Baolai came to visit Qiu Lichuan in the guest room, saw Du Xueyi come out, and asked, "How is Lord Qiu Mountain now?" The general is very worried. ”

Du Xueyi said: "It's okay, my mother is already fine, but she is used to being pure, and she doesn't want to see guests, so she said that unless it's about demon beasts, don't bother her." ”

Haibao said: "Okay, I'll go and reply to the general, so that the general can rest assured." "I'm going to turn around and leave.

Du Xueyi grabbed him and said, "You are a person, come as you say, leave as you say, and ignore the feelings of others?"

When Haibao heard her words, he seemed to be angry, and hurriedly turned around, and said suspiciously: "No, the Lord of Qiu Mountain doesn't see me, why don't I go?"

Seeing that he didn't look enlightened, Du Xueyi couldn't help but get angry, and pushed him outward: "You go, you go, no one here wants to see you." ”

Haibao suddenly understood, and his heart was sweet, and he said, "I, I want to see you, I want to see you in my dreams, but I don't dare to tell you......" He said the last sentence, almost like a mosquito humming.

But Du Xueyi heard it, "poof" smiled, two smears of red light flew on his cheeks, and his small fist suddenly landed on Haibao's broad and sturdy chest, and said softly: "You idiot!"

This punch made Haibao's heart as sweet as honey, and he couldn't help hugging the girl in front of him in his arms, and the whole person was filled with happiness and sweetness, and he just wanted to hug the person in his arms tighter and never let go for the rest of his life.

At first, the girl let him hold him like a docile sheep, but after a moment, she suddenly struggled to push him away, and said with a crimson face: "It's not good if someone sees it!"

Haibao then remembered that there were people walking around in this barracks, and they could be seen at any time, and his face couldn't help but burn, and he secretly blamed himself for being too careless. Looking at the naughty and shy appearance of the girl in front of her, there was a burst of sweetness in her heart, and she said, "It's still early, why don't you walk around?"

Du Xueyi shouted happily: "Okay! I've been in the tent all day, and I'm about to suffocate to death!" Haibao has been busy these days, except for official business, there is no time to see Du Xueyi, at this time, the two of them finally have the opportunity to walk alone, and their hearts are also extremely happy, and their nervous hearts have relaxed a little for many days.

As soon as he walked not far away, he saw Yao Shunmin running over, and shouted as he ran: "Hey, stinky boy, why don't you call me when you go to the mass grave to fight demon beasts? It's a pity, I don't know when I'll see such a good show next time!"

Haibao said: "Uncle Yao, fighting demon beasts is very dangerous, and it's not fun at all. ”

Xiao Yue then caught up and said, "Daddy, what are you talking nonsense? Brother Haibao is going to eliminate harm for the people, so don't make trouble, okay?"

Yao Shunmin said: "Who is talking nonsense? You just say good things for this stinky boy, and you don't even care about my father!"

Xiao Yue said helplessly: "Brother Haibao, don't be angry, my father is such a person, he just loves to join in the fun, and he has always stayed in the barracks these days, and he is stuffy." He looked at Du Xueyi on the side and said, "Dad, let's go, Brother Haibao and Sister Du still have something to do!"

Yao Shunmin said: "I won't leave! When did this kid promise to take me with him next time, I will go again! I think I, Yao Shunmin, also have some ability to go south and north, and a demon beast is not my opponent! I didn't expect that I was nesting here, and I didn't even see the shadow of a demon beast!" He pointed at Du Xueyi with his hand and said: "I always say how scary the demon beast is, but this little girl doll can go, but I can't go, it's really unreasonable!"

Haibao was secretly amused, and said in his heart: "This little girl doll is much more powerful than you!" couldn't help but think of Du Xueyi's appearance on the battlefield waving the acacia belt, and a smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

After all, Xiao Yue is younger, and she is curious, listening to the disciples of those sects talk about the power of demon beasts, adding fuel and vinegar, her heart is also itchy, and she can only hate herself for not seeing, at this time, her father aroused her curiosity, and said: "Brother Haibao, Sister Du, what does that demon beast look like? Is it really very powerful?"

Du Xueyi was finally alone with Haibao, but she didn't want to be ruined by the father and daughter who suddenly came out, and she was very unhappy, she just hoped that they would leave quickly, so naturally she wouldn't explain these problems to them, but just looked at Haibao.

Haibao said: "The battlefield is very bloody, not what you imagined, you still stay in the barracks, it is very dangerous outside." ”

Yao Shunmin said: "Speaking of which, it just won't let us go out." I figured it out, this stinky boy didn't have any good intentions at all, he let go of my monkey at the beginning, which caused me to make a lot less money, and this time he pretended to be kind, so that I couldn't watch the show. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll find a way to go by myself!" he said as he walked away stupidly. Xiao Yue was afraid that he would make trouble, so she hurriedly caught up. The barracks was heavily guarded, and he couldn't get out, so Haibao didn't worry about it and let him go.

The two of them then walked forward again. Du Xueyi said: "In the battle of the mass grave, almost all those demon beasts were wiped out, why did the general still step up the training with such fanfare?"

Haibao said: "The demon beasts that can hold out for a year and destroy the 70,000 troops of the imperial court will never be wiped out so easily." Those demon beasts are far more than that, but they don't know where their reinforcements are hiding or when they will arrive. The general just has to be ready and wait for the next batch of demon beasts to appear. ”

Du Xueyi pointed to the guest room and said, "These 100 or so people can reach thousands of troops." ”

Haibao knew that Du Xueyi, like those people, looked down on the imperial army, and said: "Although these people are highly skilled, after all, the number of people is limited, and they can only play a role at critical moments, and they can't be guarded everywhere all the time. Drill the army well in advance, prepare for a big war, as the saying goes, be prepared. And of course, you distinguished guests can't do this patrol. ”

Du Xueyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, I won't fight with you about this." Let me ask you something, you said that you could find my father when you arrived in Haizhou County, but you don't know where my father is? Although my mother didn't say it, I knew that she was thinking about it. ”

These days, Qiu Lichuan has not pursued the matter of Fu Demon Bead, Haibao feels lucky, but also very worried, I don't know what Qiu Lichuan thinks in his heart, such an important treasure, but no longer ask, there must be some special reason.

Haibao said: "You said Uncle Du, I really don't know where he went." I went to inquire, and all the people in Qingyang County have left, and the prisoners in the prison have also been confiscated, but there is no one named Du Zhanpeng in the army. This is a mess, and I don't know where to find him!" In front of Du Xueyi, Haibao didn't hide it, and told the truth one by one.

Du Xueyi said: "My father must be in this area!"

Haibao said: "How can we see it? We haven't seen Uncle Du's shadow!"

Du Xueyi said: "The matter of Fu Demon Bead is very important, my mother can't wait to find out about this matter immediately, and she will definitely not let you go so easily." If it weren't for the new turn of events, would my mother be so calm? Absolutely not! She would have forced you to find my father's whereabouts. And the biggest possibility of this turning point is that my mother feels my father's existence!"

Haibao felt that there was some truth in this, but there was no basis for it, and said, "Lord Qiu Shan sits in the camp all day, how can he feel your father's existence?"

Du Xueyi said: "My mother's methods are naturally not something you can understand. Besides, haven't you heard of it? Husbands and wives have a clear mind, and they often perceive each other without meeting. ”

Hypertherm wondered, "Is there such a thing?"

Du Xueyi said: "Of course, if the heart can't figure it out, is it still called a real husband and wife? I, in this life, I want to marry someone who has a soul with me!" When she said this, her eyes were clean and bright, flashing with happy expectation.

Haibao blurted out, "I'm going to be the one who has a heart for you!"

As soon as these words came out, both of them blushed. Hypertherm was a clumsy man who didn't use clever words to please girls. The heartfelt words he blurted out, in Du Xueyi's ears, were the most beautiful love words in the world, and a girl's heart was suddenly overflowing with joy, but her mouth said angrily: "It depends on your performance!"

The two of them spoke, unconsciously walking out of the distance. Suddenly, I heard a noisy noise in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw a group of soldiers gathered around, as if something had happened.

The two of them wanted to avoid it, but they heard someone say, "It must have been a demon beast, go and report to the general!"

Could it be that another demon beast is coming to make trouble? The two immediately turned around and walked towards the crowd. Some of them knew Zhang Haibao and Du Xueyi, and those who didn't know each other, seeing that the two of them had extraordinary bearings, they also consciously gave way to a way.

The two men stepped forward and saw a soldier lying on the ground in the middle, apparently dead. Hypertherm reached out and probed for a moment, and sure enough, he didn't snort. I saw that his face was sallow, his skin was shriveled, as if he had been sucked dry of blood, but there were no obvious wounds on his body.

Hypertherm asked, "Who is he, how did he die, and why is he lying here?"

One of the soldiers replied, "He is the second king of the eighteenth battalion, and he shares a tent with me." We went out to pee together before going to bed last night, who knew that he would be gone in the morning, I thought he got up early to go out to fetch water and got lost, so I went out to look for him, and I didn't find him. I found him in the haystack just now, and that's already it. ”

Haibao carefully inspected Wang Er's body and found that there was a little blood on his neckline, and then opened the neckline, and found a small dark red wound underneath, as if it had been bitten by some insect, and there was a small cyan bruise around the wound.

"It must be the monster again!" someone shouted.

Haibao shook his head, such a small wound could not have been left by a demon beast.

At this moment, Zhang Chengjian came, followed by Saint Zuoyu and several other people. Hypertherm hurriedly pointed out the wound to him.

Zhang Chengjian squatted on the ground and examined it carefully for a while, and said, "Carry him back to the tent first, and check if there are any other wounds on his body." ”

Some of the onlookers agreed and carried away the body of the second king.

Haibao didn't listen to Du Xueyi, and when she looked back, she didn't know when she had left.

Back in the tent, after some inspection, there were no other wounds on Wang Er's body.

Haibao said: "Master, how can such a small wound kill someone? There are bruises around this wound, could it be that he died of poisoning?"

Saint Zuoyu said: "There are some signs of poisoning, but it is not obvious." ”

Zhang Chengjian shook his head and said: "It is definitely not poisoned to death, you see that his whole body is sallow, this is a sign that he has been drained of blood." ”

Everyone was amazed. Saint Zuo Yu said: "Could it be that there is a new demon beast again?"

Zhang Chengjian said: "This is not necessarily, the demon beasts seen so far are all large and aggressive, and the wounds left on people are relatively large, which can suck people's blood dry, but I don't know what it is." Let each battalion count the number of people first to see if there are any other people missing, and in addition, pay special attention to whether there are any such deaths in the past few days. ”
