After Chuan Shu died, the four apprentices turned black

Chapter 36 Devil
The noise of celebrations outside could be heard indistinctly, which was in stark contrast to the silence inside the house. As expected, the joys and sorrows of people were not connected.

Under Master Xu's gaze, Qita didn't speak this time, but lowered his eyes and disappeared in the huge shadow behind Shike again.

Yueying knew it was Shik's turn to speak.

The giant spoke slowly:
"This is not something to hide. The cold winter is approaching. In order to store supplies for the winter, the surrounding tribes and small countries are eager to move. Small-scale battles continue to break out. We also need to survive the winter, so we took the initiative to jump into some wars, and we got it as we wished. Victory, so the celebration continues."

"It's winter every year." Master Xu questioned him unhurriedly.

It means that since the winter is spent every year, why did he go to war this year and even attract the demons? What else did he not explain clearly.

Shike's face was slightly gloomy, and the air swept by his gaze seemed to have become much heavier, but Master Xu did not change his face, as if he was fearless.

It was only at this time that Yueying became more and more respectful to Master Xu. This kind-hearted person with Buddha moles on his brows and face has such a strong psychological ability to resist pressure. Only one guard left the palace for a few years, and with such cumbersome burdens as Yueying and Nangong, he completed the arduous task of raining.

Of course, Nangong is no longer a burden, and Yue Ying alone is their pure burden.

"Naturally, we spend winter every year, but this year's situation is a little different."

"It's normal to fight and kill each other. We were originally robbers, but the fat sheep were robbed and turned into thin sheep. They probably felt that the winter was hard and planned to fight stubbornly. Several small forces joined forces. Together, they dared to take the initiative to provoke us, and they had to take their lives, and the number of casualties on the grasslands has never been higher than in more than ten years."

"According to our recent encounters, there are no less than a dozen small countries and tribes united, and there will only be more and more in the future. Once the alliance is established, we may not be able to completely resist it, so before their cooperation is reached, We must first break through and attack the most critical forces, and we must preemptively strike."

"The specific situation has been written a few days ago, and the military letter was sent back quickly. To be honest, I was a little surprised when you came here at the beginning. I thought that the imperial court sent people down so soon. I wonder if it was sent back from other places. News, so the imperial court deployed so quickly, I didn't expect it was just raining."

When he said these words, he was very calm. He neither shy away from revealing his identity as a "bandit" openly, nor did he hide his disdain for other countries and tribes. Yueying knew that he was born with such courage because he was like a giant. The body is enough to despise most mortals.

Master Xu frowned more and more, because he found that things were not as simple as he imagined.

At first, I thought it was just the monster re-rolling, so I only needed to find the source to completely wipe out the monster. This is what Yun Zeguo has done several times in the past. As long as it is handled properly, there is always no danger.

If it doesn't work, the imperial court will also send and recruit suitable blessings to kill the demons. At worst, it will be a bloody battle. You must know that the blessings are naturally restrained against demons.

But the problem now is not the monster, but the joint resistance of other countries and forces.

In essence, Yunze Kingdom is indeed like a domineering "bandit", but because of its large scale, the usual looting activities are beautified as "annexation", "occupation" and "expansion of territory".

The whole country is all soldiers, and wars are constantly raging all year round. If they can fight, they will never talk about it, and if they can annex it, they will never hesitate. Wherever such a warring country goes, it is like locusts passing through the border. No grass can grow, and the countries and forces that have offended for generations have both hands and feet. Come out, not to mention being cruel to other countries, even the people within the country are miserable.

Years of drought, it is difficult to grow food, there is no food to eat, no warmth to wear; wars and disputes, people are displaced; imposition of exorbitant taxes, life is hard to save, and wives and children are separated.

In such a situation of internal and external troubles, it is easy to set off a war of resistance, external resistance and internal protests, and riots that raise flags can be seen everywhere, but these are not important, because even if they riot, they still have no food, so It often lasts for a short time, and in the end it is necessary to face the enemies of other countries with the blade in order to survive, but instead becomes a soldier fighting for Yunze Country again in disguise.

This is also the importance of Nangong Yuheng's rainfall.

As long as the difficulty of growing food is solved, the status quo of Yunze Country can be completely changed, so that people no longer have to be forced to become robbers who burn, kill, and plunder. They only need to plant their one-acre three-point land with peace of mind, and they can easily guard their homes The country is safe.

Of course, this is a beautiful blueprint and vision for the future, and it is also an impossible goal to achieve in the short term. Before that, Yunze Country was still a bandit, and would naturally be attacked and retaliated by various countries.

Now that the storm is approaching, countries are ready to move and provoke wars frequently. I am afraid that they will not let it go like before, nor will they just start wars on this grassland.

If the guess is correct, I am afraid that all border fronts across the country will face a severe test in unity.

Of course, these are just some speculations of Mr. Xu, and they are not completely true. He also hopes that the small-scale rebellion broke out only in the vicinity. If all the enemies continue to unite to deal with Yunze Nation, it will be a huge battle for Yunze Nation. disaster.

"Since it has been reported to His Majesty, we can rest assured and wait for the news. Besides, our main purpose is to reduce water. Whether it is war or demons, it has nothing to do with us. I will write another letter to explain the matter of demons. I hope Your Majesty can bring it up." Pay attention to stepping up the dispatch of manpower to solve the problem."

Master Xu immediately made an arrangement. If at first he thought the matter was not serious and planned to take Nangong to solve the demon's matter, now he dare not act rashly.

Before the departure, the emperor Qian reminded Wan about the importance of Nangong Yuheng, and told him that no matter what happens, he must give priority to ensuring the safety of Nangong Yuheng's life, and even sacrifice Yueying if necessary. In short, in their team, The combined lives of all people are not as important as a single Nangong Yuheng.

Therefore, he would not do things that would put him in danger. He could clearly distinguish the priorities. Nangong Yuheng was the future of Yunze Nation, and it was a god-given opportunity, the key to turning the fate of Yunze Nation around.

"If there is nothing wrong, we will retreat to the mainland immediately after the rain tomorrow, safety first."

"Understood." Nangong Yuheng's face was serious, but his peripheral vision was always placed on Yueying beside him. He secretly told himself that he must not leave Yueying's side for a moment in the near future, and leave Yueying alone in the inn like the day before yesterday. However, such a thing as coming to the celebration banquet by myself must not happen a second time.

He was even a little scared, if Yueying encountered some danger because of his short departure that day and he couldn't make it, it would be a lifelong regret and torment for him.

Listening to the conversation of several people, Yueying felt that the situation was really dire, and the feeling that the storm was about to come made her anxious heart fluctuate even more. It is really difficult to protect oneself in troubled times, if only there is some way to make oneself more self-protective...

Everyone stopped talking, and their thoughts were heavy.

Yueying was thinking about the future arrangements, but suddenly heard the noise outside the house was a bit different, although the celebration banquet was originally chaotic, with wrestling, fighting and applauding, but now it felt much more chaotic, and there was vaguely the intersection of swords and swords There was a clear and crisp sound, as if a real knife and gun were fighting.

Even when she realized that something was wrong, Shik stood up abruptly, grabbed a giant ax leaning against the door, slammed open the door with loud strides and ran out, and Qita followed with an ugly expression. , before leaving, I do not forget to say:
"Someone attacks at night, you protect yourselves."

Yueying's heart skipped a beat, she knew that she was not far away in the war, but she didn't expect to be so close at this time.

Nangong held her hand tightly, and he whispered:
"You must not let go of my hand."

"Okay." Yueying quickly replied, hearing the sounds of killing outside became more and more clear, her heart was pounding.

Master Xu also stood up immediately, and several guards rushed in, the silver armor on his body was already stained with blood, and the long sword in his hand was dripping with blood, well-trained to protect Nangong Yuheng and Yueying, the next second Immediately, murderous intruders broke in. Seeing the two people being protected, they immediately realized who they were, and swung their knives excitedly.

The two sides fought, this was the first time Yueying saw Lord Xu make a move, and saw the silver soft sword he drew from his waist, whistling in the air, and the sound of passing through the flesh and blood was particularly ear-catching, like a jade-faced bodhisattva transforming King Kong Arhat, his moves were sharp and ruthless, killing him with one move.

Amid the strong smell of blood, Yue Ying was half-covered and led out of the narrow room by Nan Gong. Seeing the chaotic scene outside the room, the previous excitement turned into a tragic scene, and the celebration banquet was also messed up. There are corpses, fires everywhere, thick smoke billowing, and a sense of the end of the world.

"Let's go!" Master Xu beheaded two more people and shouted sharply.

In the crowd of people, Yueying had no sense of direction at all, so she could only leave all her wealth and life in the hands of Nangong Yuheng, and let him run away with her. She also used the fastest speed in her life, panting heavily from exhaustion Did not dare to stop at all.

I don't know when the guards around him separated one by one, only Nangong Yuheng remained with her ten fingers tightly and never separated. The enemies who rushed forward were killed by him without blinking. The invisible wind blade was The best weapon, wrapped in the smoke of war and the smell of blood, suddenly formed and dissipated, and the fallen people did not know what had taken their lives until they died.

Hurrying to the stables, all the imprisoned horses were restless, neighing and kicking at times, as if they wanted to break out of the cage all the time, they were all excellent war horses, not afraid of such a chaotic scene, but eager to join in War, charge for your master.

Picking a black horse at random, Nangong Yuheng rarely let go of Yueying's hand to open the horseman, but it was such a short interval, and he heard a stabbing sound as soon as he turned his head.

Yue Ying let out a muffled sound, a sharp knife dripping blood was stuck in her chest, she stared down in disbelief, the sharp knife was pulled out again, and when she fell limply to the ground, she felt chills all over her body, her eyes dimmed. In it, only Nangong Yuheng whose eyes were shattered, and a face that was slashed to death before the smile disappeared.

"Master!!!!"

Her vision went dark and she completely lost consciousness.

Nangong Yuheng only felt that his heart was going to burst, he roared and cut the despicable person into pieces, then held Yue Ying in his arms in horror, watching her chest unstoppably bursting with blood, as if his own life was dying As painful as passing away.

He pressed hard on Yueying's wound, blood still gushed out from between his fingers, Yueying's face was pale, and her breathing was weak. To Nangong Yuheng's ears, this weak breathing seemed to be the most terrifying sound in the world, but because of him Because of his ability, he could hear it so clearly, like a lingering countdown in his ears.

"Master, don't die, don't die..."

At this moment, he looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his voice was hoarse and flustered, completely lacking in his usual indifference and stability, with scarlet eyes and a frightening expression.

He knew very well that he couldn't save Yueying, he was just a goddamn idiot who could only rain, and had no ability to save a life, and all this was because he let go of Yueying's hand, just for a second... ...In just that moment, Yueying was about to leave him completely.

It's not because of quarrels, nor because of going to bed at night, not because of a short separation, but because of life and death.

He has never hated himself so much. When he lost his father, he was too young and had no memory. When he lost his mother, she was tortured by long-term illness. The moment of death was more like a natural relief. Although he was sad, he was not too sad. More Worrying about future survival.

Losing Yueying... He had never thought about it. Yueying's life was fresh one second, and it would be broken like old paper in the next second. She didn't even say goodbye. It was too sudden and too sudden. He couldn't accept the drama at all, and even started to think about whether he should take a sword in his chest and die with her.

Yueying is already his last attachment in this world, without her, everything he does feels meaningless.

"What did you call her?"

A cold and deep voice sounded.

Nangong Yuheng suddenly came back to his senses, it turned out that his face was already full of tears, and he was extremely embarrassed.

He raised his head numbly and looked at the figure blocking the large flames in front of him. He was dark red all over, and he was clearly a tall man, but he had a face that was almost monstrous, with slightly raised corners of his eyes, and dark red tear moles growing symmetrically on both sides. Baidi is not like a human, but more like a monster.

"who are you?"

Nangong tightened her arms again on Yue Ying, who was almost cold in her arms, and her tone was dull. He didn't really care who this person was or what he was going to do, and asking this question was just the result of a difficult brain function.

"I asked you what you called her?"

"...Master." As soon as he opened his mouth, his heart throbbed again, thinking that if this man gave him a sword, it would be a good thing to let him die.

"I can save your master."

The man's words were like whispers of a devil, but at the lowest point, Nangong Yuheng ignited hope for life. He suddenly raised his head, stared at his face, which was more beautiful than a woman, and saw his blood-like thin lips raised.
