When He saw Chuyun and Shen Yi returning to the dilapidated house, he used the holes in the wall to observe Wu Gong and others for a while.
They didn't do anything, only two people were left to watch outside.
After confirming that Wu Gong would not attack her, He Jian Chuyun felt at ease and leaned against the wall. She secretly hated Shen Yi's heartless look.
But you can't blame him. Shen Yi has discovered it a long time ago. This Wu Gong seems to be a little different from the rumored one. He is very affectionate and loyal. Although he does look a bit scary, he doesn't look like a villain who can kill in secret. .
This is why Shen Yi didn't care about He Jian Chuyun before.
"Old witch, give me the pillow."
"Oh~"
"Hey, you're so good."
…
The night passed quickly, and at dawn the next day, the sound of a knock on the door came in.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"Girl, are you awake?"
"Open the door!"
When He saw Chu Yun awakening, he quickly pushed Shen Yi aside, walked to the window and took a look outside. Standing at the door was one of Wu Gong's men.
She didn't open the door immediately, but asked, "What's the matter?"
"Our boss wants to see you, let me call you over."
"Wu Gong?"
"Yes, come out quickly."
"What did he do when he saw me?"
"Girl, we are not bad people. There is no need to be so defensive, right? You saved our brother's life. We are grateful to you before it is too late. How could we harm you again?"
He saw Chuyun frowning and thinking deeply. At this time, Shen Yi was also woken up. When he saw her eyes, he nodded at her, which meant to go and have a look.
"Okay, just wait a moment."
"Okay, our boss is waiting for you in the house."
"Um."
Seeing Wu Gong's men leaving outside, He Jian Chuyun spoke up and said to Shen Yi: "Then what would happen if Wu Gong asked me to see him?"
"How do I know? It shouldn't be a bad thing if we go over and take a look first."
Shen Yi squinted his eyes, and He Jian Chuyun didn't ask any questions after hearing what he said. He straightened his clothes and took him out of the house and walked towards the house where Wu Gong and others were.
As soon as she entered the door, Wu Gong, who was sitting inside, greeted her in a friendly manner: "Are you here? Find a place to sit first."
"No, please tell me what you want from me first."
"That's okay." Wu Gong nodded and went straight to the topic without any ink: "I see how pitiful you are for a girl and a foreigner, so I thought of inviting you to go with me. If you encounter danger, it would be nice to have someone with you." Isn’t it taking care of yourself?”
"This..." He Jianchuyun's eyes flashed. She didn't expect that Wu Gong saw her for this reason, but she didn't mind having more companions on the road, just like what the other party said, she could have someone to take care of her. .
But there is a premise, that is, the companions traveling with her cannot threaten her. Even if there is a threat, it must be something she can handle, and Wu Gong is obviously beyond this range.
After all, the rumors about him were there. He killed people without blinking an eye, and also ate people. To put it bluntly, he was an evil spirit in human skin. If he suddenly killed her at any time, she would not be able to react at all.
Tsurumi Chuyun did not refuse directly, but said politely: "I may be on a different path from you."
"That's not necessarily the case. Just tell us where you want to go. If the paths are different, then we can each go our own way."
"I..." Tsurumi Chuyun closed his mouth and didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Wu Gong was not stupid either. He soon noticed her extremely strong defensiveness and took the lead in saying, "We are planning to go all the way east this time, to Fengzhou. I wonder where you are going, little girl?"
Hejian Chuyun was obviously startled when he heard Wu Gong say his destination.
Fengzhou was exactly where she was going. She walked out of Daliang to the east, and the first state boundary she entered into Dajing was Fengzhou.
The first thing she thought of was that Wu Gong did it on purpose. He had already guessed where she was going, so he invited her to accompany him. So she asked warily: "Why are you going to Fengzhou?"
"Nothing to do, just find a place to settle down." Wu Gong said casually, but the next second he noticed the strange look on Tsurumi Chuyun's face. After thinking about it briefly, he realized that this girl The place I want to go to is probably Dajingfengzhou.
If he went to other places, he would not be able to meet her.
After understanding this, Wu Gong explained: "You should know some details about me and my brothers. After spending most of my life licking blood on the tip of a knife, the brothers around me have come and died, and none of them have suffered the same fate. What a good ending... Now there are only a few of them left with me. I just want to take them to a good place, buy a few acres of land with money, marry a wife, and live a stable life honestly, but now Daliang Neither the King nor Dayu can accommodate us, so we have no choice but to go to Dajing."
Wu Gong said it very seriously, and from the look on his face, it didn't look like he was lying.
Seeing that he kept looking at him after he finished speaking, Hejian Chuyun could only say quietly: "I'm going to Fengzhou too."
"Isn't this the same road?"
"But... now that Dajingfeng Prefecture has locked its borders and is heavily guarded, how do you enter?" She expressed the question in her heart.
After Daliang declared war on Dayu, the people of Jizhou who were affected by the war generally had two places to go. The first was to go south, to Weizhou and other places, and seek refuge with relatives and friends in the south.
The second one is to enter Dajing Fengzhou, and the people of Linzhou bordering Yu and Liang have the same choice. It was okay at first, but the influx of a large number of refugees from Liang's Jizhou and Yu's Linzhou into Fengzhou means that Dajing is naturally happy with the increase in population resources. However, as time goes by, more and more refugees enter Fengzhou from the two state boundaries, which puts a lot of pressure on the local security and political power. Therefore, in one year Before that, Dajing had banned the continued influx of refugees into Fengzhou and sent a large army to guard the outside of the pass. Anyone found crossing the border would be killed without mercy.
As for how to enter Jingzhou, Tsurumi Chuyun has not figured out a way so far. Her idea is that the boat will go straight to the bridge and wait until it reaches the border of Dajing before making plans.
Anyway, Shen Yi can fly, so he can sneak into the border of Dajing more easily. After successfully entering Fengzhou, everything will be easier. At worst, he can spend a lot of money to get an identity, and he can still travel unimpeded.
After listening to her question, Wu Gong laughed a few times and said, "Don't worry about it. I have an old friend in Jizhou City. He has already taken care of things for me. As soon as I arrive, I will be fine." Enter Fengzhou on a merchant ship along the Bailan River."
"Uh..." Tsurumi Chuyun understood. Although Dajing no longer allowed people from Daliang to enter, the trade between the two sides had not been interrupted. Smuggling into Fengzhou on a merchant ship was also a way.
Then Wu Gong smiled and said: "How about it, little girl, do you want to come with us?"
Tsurumi Chuyun fell silent. Now it seems that going with Wu Gong and others seems to be a good choice.
With more people comes greater strength, and there are too many evil spirits in Jizhou. If there were a being like a zombie outside, she and Shen Yi wouldn't be able to deal with it even with the combined strength of her and Shen Yi.
And with Wu Gong, at least he can survive for a while without falling directly into a certain death situation.
But she still had worries in her heart. After all, she still wasn't worried about Wu Gong, the desperado.
Seeing her hesitation, Wu Gong probably guessed what she was thinking, sighed, and then shook his head.
"Little girl, I, Wu Gong, have been on the run until now. I have indeed killed many people and done a lot of evil, but what I did was just to survive. I have a clear conscience for every person I kill!"
"You can think of me as a villain, but you can't think of me as a villain. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't stand in front of me now."
She didn't reply and listened quietly, while Wu Gong continued: "Little girl, may I ask you a question?"
"You ask."
"Of all the rumors about me, have you ever heard that I have done anything to poor people?"
"this……"
He Jian Chuyun thought about it carefully. Among the rumors about Wu Gong, it seemed that he had never done anything to the poor people. Those who were harmed by him were also some powerful families, but his methods were too cruel. Just hearing this makes it hard for people to have a good impression of him.
"Girl, think about it carefully. If you don't believe it, I won't embarrass you. Let's go our separate ways."
After saying that, Wu Gong subconsciously reached out to the table next to him, but after finding that there was nothing, he had to retract his hand angrily.
He Jian Chuyun also began to think deeply. At this time, Shen Yi seemed to have accidentally swept the debris on the window sill behind him to the ground with his paw. The jar was filled with dust and fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over, including He Jian Chuyun, but unlike others, she saw the look in Shen Yi's eyes clearly.
Then Shen Yi turned his head back, as if nothing happened.
But she moved her eyes away and nodded when she looked at Wu Gong again: "I believe you."
"This is the best thing. From now on, you will be traveling with us."
"Um."
"You go back and pack your things first. Let's hurry up and get on the road. It's still a long way to Jizhou City."
After she nodded, a smile appeared on Wu Gong's face. In fact, apart from him, everyone else was just a loser. When encountering some powerful evil things, numbers of people are of no use. The only one who is really useful is himself. Strength.
If Tsurumi Chuyun was just an ordinary high-level monk, he wouldn't want to invite her with him. Why would he add a burden to her if she was so good?
There are two main reasons why she is allowed to travel with him and others. One is that she is a doctor. If she encounters danger and gets injured on the road, she will at least have a guarantee.
The second one is Shen Yi, a Class A Life God, with at least the strength of the Pure Class and above, coupled with magical powers, he can barely be regarded as a helper with knowledge and cultivation. With him, his pressure will be less on the road.
In the dilapidated house, He Jian Chuyun folded the mat slowly, tilted his head and asked Shen Yi, "Are you sure that Wugong is really trustworthy?"
Shen Yi lay aside and winked at her, jokingly saying: "What, if he forces you to stay, is it possible that I can just use my magical power and blow you up to death?"
"..." She stopped talking.
"Actually, it's not too late if you change your mind now."
"I'll follow you, okay?"
"Tsk, tsk, whatever you want... Anyway, in my opinion, Wugong is not hopeless yet."
"how do I say this?"
"Let's put it this way, if I were him, if those younger brothers had the same feelings as me, I would have just thrown them aside and run away."
"..."
"Old witch, why don't you show disdain and just go after that zombie. If you encounter one, only you can do it, and no one else can help. What can you do? The relationship isn't very deep, so of course you can give up if you can. Abandonment, sometimes you can’t have the heart of a holy mother, the most important thing is to ensure that you are alive.”
"But what if it's me?"
"You? Your words... As long as you do your job as a maid, I will definitely do my best to save you, hehe..."
"boring."
"Oh, let's be serious. Let's talk about Wugong. Look at him. Not only did he not abandon people, but he also spent so much effort to save them. What does it mean?"
"What does it mean?"
"It shows that his heart is not bad!"
"Oh~"
"Let me tell you, you are wary of him because you have always assumed the identity of the eldest lady, but are you still a eldest lady? Now you are just a white lady, Cinderella, nothing."
"What is Cinderella?"
"Cinderella is... have you packed up?"
"alright."
With a thought, all the bedding that had been made in front of him was put into the storage space. After Tsurumi Chuyun stood up, he nodded and signaled to Shen Yi.
"Then I'm coming in."
"Well, go on, what does Cinderella mean?"
As she spoke, Shen Yi turned into a ray of light and penetrated into the center of her eyebrows. A brief and severe pain came, and then disappeared quickly. She breathed a long sigh of relief before walking out of the door with her long sword.
On the broad land of the village, Wu Gong and others had already mounted their horses and were waiting for her.
"Little girl! Here."
"If we don't have horses, I'm afraid I'll have to give you a hard time. We don't have many horses."
"No need." He Jian Chuyun shook his head, used his magical weapon to release Jueying, and then quickly jumped onto his horse.
"The magical weapon of the beloved spirit is indeed from a big family..."
"As long as you have a horse, let's go!"
"Which way? Go this way. Although you have to climb a few mountains, it is closer. You can reach Jizhou City in about ten days. I hope there will be no delay."
"Then let's go."
In this way, seven people and six horses walked toward the deserted mountains and rivers in the distance.
"Hey, do you mind if I call you little girl?" Wu Gong asked.
Tsurumi Chuyun shook her head. She didn't feel any violation at all when they called her girl. Although Wu Gong looked about forty years old, in fact, he was only five years younger than his father, Tsurumi Song. Only six years old. Wu Sheng, the youngest among the six, is already thirty-seven or eighteen years old, not to mention the others.
"As long as you don't mind, let me introduce you. The person next to me is called Chen Jintian. You can call him Uncle Jintian. If you don't like it, just call him Lao Chen."
"The one in front is called Wang Zhongzhu, Lao Wang."
"My name is Duan Huai, just call me Lao Duan."
"The last one's name is Kuang Kang. You can call him Lao Kuang, but I usually call him Xiao Kangzi, and the others call him Three Butts."
"Boss, why are you like this?"
"Hahaha, three buttocks, I want to laugh when I hear that."
"Shut your stupid mouth! Girl! Don't listen to them. Just call me Lao Kuang. After all, at my age, I can be your father."
Everyone was enjoying this, but He Jian Chuyun was the only one who remained silent, like a piece of ice that would not melt, listening quietly.
