Wang Daoping and the girl bickered all the way to the city wall, only to realize that he was just preoccupied with bickering and forgot about Li Yi's life and death.
He said goodbye to the girl, and when he was about to turn into the alley, he turned around and took a sneak peek at the girl's figure.
The girl put on a mask at the city gate, raised her hand and fired a grenade flare into the air.
Wang Daoping didn't understand why, but he didn't understand until the soldiers on the city wall shouted to catch the thief and the girl ran away.
It turned out that not only they were under the illusion, but also the soldiers at the city gate.
Right! Otherwise, how could the city gate be opened so easily during the curfew time, and how could they get out.
The girl ran to the other side of the alley, and the soldiers followed her.
He quickly disappeared into the alley.
After all the soldiers disappeared, the girl finally walked out of the darkness.
She looked at Wang Daoping's leaving figure and smiled. "Although my brain is not very bright, it is indeed interesting."
Wang Daoping went all the way north in the alley, looking for the medicinal powder he put on Li Yi, and finally saw Li Yi covered in blood in front of the northern teahouse.
He was a little surprised. Although Li Yi was covered in blood, his face looked surprisingly good. It seemed that during the time they were separated, nothing major happened that would be hated by relatives and haters.
Wang Daoping ran over, patted Li Yi on the back, looked at Li Yi up and down, and then said. "It's only been a while, why is your body covered in blood?"
Li Yi sighed. "There are still wounds on the body, all of which came from the wounds before, but don't worry, it has stopped."
Wang Daoping glanced around and saw no one, then said. "Let's go and talk about it when we get back. Something strange happened to me today."
After they returned to the inn, Wang Daoping told Li Yi everything he had encountered in the south.
He exhaled fragrance, from the moment the girl jumped out to save the hero to the moment when the air wave flew in and killed Yang Yun and Yang Fei, his words were simply miraculous.
Li Yi smiled bitterly, thinking that if he didn't just want to practice shooting, he would be a good storyteller.
He could guess what the wave of air that Wang Daoping was talking about was, it should be the stick swung by the man in green.
He didn't tell Wang Daoping the truth, he just raised his tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Wang Daoping didn't ask him if he saw the air waves. He just looked at Li Yi with scrutiny. said. "Brother Li, everyone calls you sir, are you really hiding something?"
Li Yi rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly. "Do you believe it?"
Wang Daoping scratched his head. "I don't know, it's just a bit mysterious."
"Don't worry, I'm not. Maybe they made a mistake! You saw it along the way. My cultivation level is low and I can't protect myself. How can I be a gentleman?"
Wang Daoping also nodded after hearing what Li Yi said.
But he was still confused. If he really had nothing to hide, how could there be someone helping him along the way?
Forget about the woman in blue shirt with the big bird at her side and Mr. Jia who can walk the world with two swords, what happened to the blade-like aurora just now. Do these really have nothing to do with him?
Wang Daoping raised his teacup, took a sip and said. "Do you think the corpse we saw in the mountains is not that of Senior Gun Immortal? Maybe he deliberately showed it to Shadow, for example, to hide it from the truth."
Li Yi didn't understand why he thought of Song Yi, but he still shook his head and replied to him. "I don't know, but it's unlikely."
"Oh! It's so difficult! My mind is in a mess right now."
"Me too."
Li Yi said and smiled. "If you can't think clearly, don't think about it. This will save you a headache."
"Forget it! The road will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
Li Yi stood up, walked to the bed in front of him, and was about to lie down when he suddenly thought of something and spoke. "Judging from what happened tonight, we are being targeted by the Shadow people again. We have to leave quickly tomorrow."
"also."
Wang Daoping looked out the window. The window was as dark as ink, and there was wind blowing, and there seemed to be some wind and sand.
Wang Daoping thought for a while and shook his head. "No, there are still soldiers watching around us. I'm afraid we will die if we can't get out of this desert city."
Li Yi took out the map he bought before from the package on the bed, then came back and spread it on the table, observing it carefully.
He looked at it for a long time before saying to Wang Daoping. "Bing Wei is dead, you can rest assured."
Wang Daoping suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the wounds on Li Yi's body were not deep but were full of blood. It turned out that the blood was not all his.
"No wonder you're covered in blood."
"Yeah! Some of it is his, but most of it is mine."
As Li Yi spoke, he drew a new route on the map with a pen and said. "Come and see, how is this road?"
Wang Daoping came over and nodded after seeing the route above clearly. "This road is okay. It avoids some obvious official teahouses and can also avoid many shadows, but I'm afraid it will take more hardship."
"Yeah! But you need two fast horses to get to the Taiping ruins."
Wang Daoping nodded. "Leave this to me."
Li Yi responded, put away the map, and said. "Get ready to sleep! We'll leave tomorrow when your horses arrive."
Wang Daoping nodded, walked back to his bed, and lay down. "I hope the road ahead will be smooth."
"Yes." Li Yi said, looking outside, a gust of wind blew by.
The next day, when Wang Daoping woke up, Li Yi had already packed up and was standing in the corridor outside waiting for him.
He was a little embarrassed and scratched his head. "I woke up late?"
"It's not too late."
The two of them went downstairs together, walked out of the inn, and headed north.
They stopped in a wine shop on North Street and were sitting next to the stone lions outside the door.
A black horse and a carriage came slowly down the street.
Li Yi raised his head and looked at the man on horseback. With just one glance, he saw the thin figure on the horse.
He still remembered that this was the man who hit him on horseback in front of the map store that day.
"Is it you?" Li Yi shouted without thinking, and regretted it later.
The thin, veiled figure on the horse looked at him and asked. "Master, are you talking about me?"
Listening to the voice, it turned out to be a girl.
Li Yi thought about the current situation between him and Wang Daoping, and felt that it was better to have one less thing than one more thing. Then he bowed his hand. "I've admitted the wrong person. I hope the girl won't blame you."
The man on horseback smiled. "It doesn't matter, I often admit the wrong people."
At this time, the people in the carriage also spoke. "Ayu, what happened?"
It was a magnetic male voice, and he sounded very young, in his twenties.
The woman on the horse replied. "No, it's just a misunderstanding. Brother, don't worry."
"That's good! If we are in the way, we can give way a little, as long as we can walk."
"Okay! Don't worry, brother."
As the woman spoke, she also cupped her hands like Li Yi and Wang Daoping. "That was my brother just now. He's going to the north now. Time is urgent. I hope I can forgive all the things that offended you two."
Li Yi said with a smile. "Not really."
Nonsense, such a polite woman, who would lose his temper out of his wits?
the woman said. "Thank you."
She led the horse forward. The boy driving the carriage shook the reins, and the carriage swayed and followed closely behind her.
Li Yi and Wang Daoping watched the carriage go away before slowly walking forward. "No more wine?"
"Is water enough?"
Wang Daoping smiled and touched Li Yi's shoulder. "From the sound of her voice, she's a pretty girl. Hey! You suddenly called me to stop. Could it be that you like her?"
Li Yi rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to Wang Daoping's irregularity.
They went to a horse farm in the north and pulled two relatively cheap red horses.
At this point, Li Yi had spent all his belongings, and so had Wang Daoping.
Uncle Xi gave Li Yi a lot of money before he came here, plus the money he and Zhang Chuxin stole for Tian Xingdao from Wang's house, it was enough for the two of them for a long time. Unfortunately, most of them were lost in the escape.
Wang Daoping patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said. "It doesn't matter. The most important thing in Taiping Ruins is money."
Li Yi rolled his eyes and led the horse out.
The two of them jumped on the horse, and after taking just a few steps, Wang Daoping stopped.
Li Yi turned around and saw Wang Daoping turning his horse's head to look behind.
He followed Wang Daoping's eyes and saw a group of people walking toward him behind him. There were quite a few people, and there were many people around who were dressed like those from the Northwest Chu Army.
Li Yi didn't know why, and just as he was about to call Wang Daoping, he also saw a few figures in the crowd who seemed familiar.
As smart as Li Yi, he could tell Wang Daoping's thoughts at a glance.
He shook his head. That’s it! You can still care about his emotional problems.
It wasn't that he had to sigh, it was actually Wang Daoping who didn't care much at the moment.
Wang Daoping looked at the girl he saw at the foot of the hill behind Song Garden and smiled.
Li Yi led his horse over, poked Wang Daoping in the back with his long sword, and said. "Brother Wang, is that girl pretty?"
Wang Daoping's face burned, and he slapped his sword away. "Go, go, you are too dishonest, I am an innocent young man."
Li Yi found it funny, but didn't argue with him.
When a group of people approached, Li Yi saw clearly that those familiar figures were the four that Wang Daoping said he could barely beat at the Song family last night.
Song Yanxi also saw Wang Daoping, who was riding on horseback and said. "Wang Daoping?"
"Do you remember my name?"
"It's not a hard name to remember."
Wang Daoping scratched his head and didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought for a long time before saying. "This is what you are doing?"
"Northern Army Camp, kill the enemy and serve the country."
"Northwest." Wang Daoping said.
"Well! Yesterday you were unwilling to join the army, but today you seem to be making some moves and going to the Taiping ruins?"
"We just got tired of staying and just went out for a walk."
"It's not a peaceful journey. Shadows are all over the north. Would you like to come with me, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Daoping looked at the girl and suddenly smiled. "Forget it! There are dangers around us, but we don't want to hurt you."
"We are escorted by the army, so we are not afraid of danger."
Wang Daoping was about to say more, but Li Yi agreed. "good!"
Wang Daoping grabbed Li Yi and said. "Li Yi, are you serious! We are not on the same page with them."
"I was just thinking about why we are being hunted all the time. Could it be because there are only two of us and we are alone. In this case, it is better to give them a try. Maybe there are more people, and the killers of Shadow will not dare to act rashly. ”
"I'm just a little worried!"
"Don't worry, I'm sure of it. Besides, this opportunity is rare. Don't you really like that girl? This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone."
Wang Daoping rolled his eyes and said. "Go, go, whoever likes that girl, she is just a little witch, I can't deal with her."
However, although he complained, he still obeyed Li Yi's arrangement.
Maybe Li Yi was right. They went through those fights because there was no one around to accompany them.
Wang Daoping stood next to the girl and asked. "Northern Military Camp, are you really going to join the army?"
"That's right, do you want to come together?" The girl smiled. "There's a bonus."
Wang Daoping smiled and waved his hand. "Forget it, I once swore that I would work with someone to save the world. The so-called Taoism is different and we will not conspire with each other."
The girl turned to look at Wang Daoping and smiled. "They are all serving the country and the people, so why are their ways different? Now that the shadows are lingering, as long as they work harder, they can destroy this group of bandits. On the contrary, the people are content to recuperate, but their ways are different. They are all based on saving the world's common people. It’s your responsibility.”
Wang Daoping was stunned.
yes! They all hope that Xichu can quell the war. Soldiers working desperately on the front line are the real protectors of the country. Why can't they save the world! Why is it different?
Isn’t this more real than talking nonsense?
Wang Daoping felt guilty and said without looking into her eyes. "Anyway, we have different paths and we don't want to conspire against each other."
The girl just smiled and led the horse forward. The city gate was slowly opened and he rode in front of everyone.
Li Yi and his group followed the carriage in front, and the boy spoke to the people in the carriage. "Sir, if you really want to join them, wouldn't it be too showy?"
The man in the carriage said slowly. "It's okay, we are almost to the north. The closer we are to the north, the more dangerous our situation is. It doesn't matter if we have more people, we can make some adjustments by then. According to the secret information, the Shadow has already begun to deploy containment measures. Let’s go, I’m afraid we’ll be very busy next time.”
"Then young master, this is where the lady is."
"Although her martial arts skills are good, this time is different from the past. This place is dangerous, so she must be careful."
"Yes." The kid responded.
"Please stay safe outside. If there is any situation, please notify me as soon as possible."
"Okay, sir."
The man had just fallen asleep when the carriage stopped a few hundred meters north of the city.
He was shaken awake and asked. "What's going on outside?"
The child quickly agreed outside. "There seems to be a landslide ahead. Most of the road has collapsed. It is being processed. There is still blood around not far away. It seems that there has been a fight, and there is a body with two parts broken off."
"Corpse!" The man was stunned for a moment, but then he came back to his senses.
He was indeed making a fuss. In Xichu, a place with scarce water resources and drought every year, a corpse was nothing. I saw quite a few of them all the way north, and I have long been numb.
The kid continued. "Yes, the body was divided into two parts, as if someone had cut it off in the middle, and."
"Come in and tell me."
When the child heard this, he opened the curtain and walked in.
As soon as he sat down, he stood up and opened the curtain and looked around.
The man smiled and said. "It's okay, we are all our own people."
"The corpse looks a bit like the assassin in the general's painting."
"Go down and have a look."
The man got up, got out of the carriage, and when he walked past a group of people, the girl on horseback followed her with her horse.
The man smiled and said. "Ayu, don't worry, I'm fine."
"Now, I am by my brother's side, naturally protecting him."
The man smiled and walked forward slowly. The girl also dismounted and followed.
Song Yanxi didn't say anything, but quietly followed Wang Daoping, and finally stood beside the corpse with him.
Wang Daoping didn't know if he was really interested in Song Yanxi, but he peeked at Song Yanxi from time to time.
He started teasing. "It's not a big treasure worth thousands of gold, it's just a dead corpse. I don't understand how a corpse can attract so many people. Sure enough, people like to be busy, this is true."
Li Yi turned his head and looked behind him. The woman in black and a pair of masters and servants slowly walked over.
After the man stood still, he looked at it and said. "It looks like the plan is going to be implemented ahead of schedule."
"Brother, who is he? Have you seen him before?" the woman said.
Several people turned to look, wanting the man to give an answer.
But before the man could speak, Li Yi spoke first.
"He is from the shadows. You have heard of the Eight Generals of the Ten Stars. He is the seventh star among the ten stars, and is surrounded by soldiers who are known as illusionists in the world."
Everyone looked at him, wondering how he could only know this soldier. Of course, I was waiting for his answer.
"Don't worry, he is here to kill me and has nothing to do with you. You can relax."
As soon as these words came out, several people present were stunned for a moment, turning their heads and looking him up and down.
No one knows who he is, that he can actually move killers like the Eight Shadow Stars.
Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable, feeling like they were watching a gorilla performing on its own.
