Mad Queen

Chapter 23 A Barren Land of Exile

Gu Ziwan: "..."

It's really embarrassing! !
Bai Jian's credit can be praised so miraculously.

With a cold snort, she turned and walked towards the camp.

From the beginning to the end, no one realized that the saber-toothed pig had something to do with her.

Behind her, Chen Ju looked at the long sword in his hand and waved it casually.

"Could it be that my cultivation base has soared, and I can destroy the saber-toothed pig with just sword energy?!"

He waved it a few times with confidence, but in the end he didn't see the miracle come back again, so he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

With the saber-toothed pig, Chen Jue and others happily had a barbecue at night and got drunk.

At night, the bonfire jumped several times, the flames gradually weakened, and finally went out.

Gu Ziwan punctually climbed out of the rear window at midnight and disappeared into the bushes.

She memorized Dou Xuan's moves in her heart.

I found a place where no one was around, and practiced one move at a time.

It wasn't until the eastern sky became bright that she sneaked back into the carriage again and slept until noon.

Practicing at night and sleeping during the day, Gu Ziwan was busy and had a good life.

Time flies, and more than three months have passed in a blink of an eye.

After the weather turned cold, they also arrived at the boundary of Xizidang.

While the carriage was swaying, Gu Ziwan was lying on the window watching the sunset in a daze.

In the afterglow of the sunset, the land was barren.

Right now it is the time of depression in late autumn, the withered grass is spreading, and the yellow rocks stand abruptly between the sky and the earth, making it even more desolate.

Seven days ago, they entered this barren land, but they did not encounter a living creature from the beginning to the end.

It seems that there is no life in the world except them!

Xizidang, the largest prison in the empire.

If the people who were exiled here fled privately, unless they had tenacious vitality, they could only escape to death in this desolation.

"Niancheng, look over there..." Hua Linlang suddenly pointed to the car window on the right.

In the wilderness in the distance, a group of people were farming. Judging from their stature, there were toddling old people and children in their teens, with iron chains on their hands and feet.

"Those are exiled criminals and their families!!" Chen Jue shook his head and sighed.

Nine out of ten family members of officials and eunuchs exiled to Xizidang will die here, and their bones will be turned into fertilizer for farming, and there will not even be a tombstone left.

The tall city walls of Xizidang were faintly visible. Chen Yu ordered a soldier to report the news, and after a while, he brought a few fast horses.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion.

Stepping forward, he cupped his fists loudly: "General Chen Liao, in Xialuchi, is the deputy general of old general Hao, here to greet General Chen!!"

Chen Xi replied politely: "There is Deputy General Lao Lu! How is Old General Hao doing?"

"Thanks to General Chen's concern, our old general is in good health, and the day before yesterday I went hunting with the young general in the mountains, and I haven't returned yet, but the old general specifically explained that I will take over and handle Gu Niancheng's affairs!! "

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy, then led the way and entered the tall city gate of Xizidang.

Gu Ziwan lay on the window of the carriage, searching for everything about Old General Hao in her memory.

The old general Hao was named Hao Sheng. When he was young, he was a general guarding the frontier. When he was old, he voluntarily relinquished his military power, retreated to Xizidang, and became a prison warden.

Gu Ziwan has never met him, but she has met his precious son Haotian.

In the previous life, Gu Yan, Haotian, and Xuanyuan Che were known as the three swordsmen on the top of the cloud.

Haotian was Haosheng's sweetheart born when he was 65 years old, and it hurts to the bone.

In order to keep his son safe and healthy throughout his life, he wanted Haotian to study and study literature.

Since he was young, he liked to wield knives and guns. Hao Sheng had no choice but to be afraid that he would be bullied when he went out, so he invited his master to teach him how to practice Dou Qi at home.
