Mo Yu suddenly let out a sword cry, and was recalled by Bai Ze, holding it in his hand.
The dark spiritual sword cut the maid's finger, and the blood stained the sword, making Zhu Yan, the weapon beast sealed in the ink jade, stirred.
Bai Ze's whole body sword intent erupted, blowing up all the green hair on the maid's head, and her clothes danced vigorously.
But the maid just stared at Bai Ze.
At a certain moment, Bai Ze felt that those eyes were inexplicably familiar, as if they were an old friend from long ago that he had gradually forgotten.
The movement here made Jiang Mansion suddenly lively in the middle of the night.
Jiang Cheng, the head of the Jiang family, Chen Shouren from Jixia Academy, Wu Shuang, and Jiang Mingyue all rushed out of the room and went straight to the wing where Bai Ze was.
Jiang Cheng and Chen Shouren were adjusting their clothes while running rampant. Jiang Mingyue and Wu Shuang slowed down a bit. By the time they tidied up their clothes and rushed out of the room, the two people had already reached the courtyard of the wing where Bai Ze was!
"They are already here. Who are you?" Bai Ze asked, "If you don't want to die, hurry up..."
"Didn't you agree to take me away?" The maid suddenly said, looking into Bai Ze's eyes, "Why don't you come? If you can't give results, you don't have to promise easily. Isn't this good? Why not? Give hope and despair."
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, only to feel a name quickly surface in the dusty corner of his mind.
"Brother, you have grown up." The maid forced a smile, "I am very sad to hear that grandpa is dead."
Bai Ze's pupils shrank, and when he saw a tear falling from the corner of the woman's eye, the sword intent in her body suddenly returned, and she could no longer bring out any murderous intent.
"Bai Ze, we are coming in." Chen Shouren whispered in the courtyard.
"Young Master, I'm offended!" Jiang Cheng was more direct and blasted open Bai Ze's door with a palm.
The cold wind of winter in the north rushed into the wing accompanied by Jiang Cheng's palm wind. But these are not as cold as Bai Ze's heart.
"Bi'er, why are you here!" The moment Jiang Cheng saw the figure in the wing, his face was extremely ugly, and the murderous aura around him was even more intense. If Chen Shouren hadn't held down his shoulders, I am afraid that the head of the Jiang family would have already entered the wing at this time. , kill the maid with the palm of his hand.
Without saying a word, Bi'er suddenly jumped up, turned into golden light, knocked a hole in the roof of the wing, and ran straight to the long street outside Jiang Mansion.
The ground is covered with golden light.
"Good nephew!" Jiang Cheng shouted, missing Chen Shouren, and was about to rise into the sky after him.
Jiang Mingyue and Wu Shuang, who had just arrived here, saw a figure rushing out of Bai Ze's room, obviously trying to escape, and immediately wanted to chase him.
"No need!" Bai Ze shouted, stopping everyone's movements and letting the maid escape.
Jiang Cheng's eyes were gloomy, staring at the direction where Bi'er's figure disappeared, clenching his fists and taking a deep breath.
Chen Shouren walked directly into Bai Ze's room. When he squinted, he saw that Bai Ze had a strange look on his face. He was obviously emotionally moved, but his emotions of shock, regret, and anger were so intertwined that he was a little stunned for a moment.
"Bai Ze, are you okay?" Chen Shouren asked symbolically.
If something is wrong, you can actually tell it at a glance.
"Nothing." Bai Ze put on his big cloak and came outside the door.
There was a lot of movement here, not only Chen Shouren and the other four, but also the Jiangfu nursing home were noisily rushing here with torches.
"Uncle Jiang, there is no need to mobilize troops." As the cold wind blew outside, Bai Ze had hidden most of his emotions and said to Jiang Cheng, "That person is not Bi'er, but an old friend of mine. The movement she used is similar to I have some connections, uncle, don’t worry about it.”
"My nephew, I never thought that Bi'er would have a problem." Jiang Cheng blamed himself very much, "If anything happens to my nephew here, I will die without mercy."
When Jiang Mingyue came to the courtyard, she couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing this.
"Uncle, you are serious." Bai Ze saw that Jiang Mingyue's hair was slightly messy, and Wu Shuang was staring at him thoughtfully, and forced a smile and said: "Everyone is frightened, it is my fault. There is nothing to do here, everyone should continue to rest. .”
"Master!" The nurse from the Jiang Mansion had already rushed outside the courtyard door. "On the way here, I found Bi'er fainted in the garden. She seemed to have been knocked unconscious!"
"Nothing happens here, let's disperse!" Jiang Cheng ordered the guards to retreat, and then told Jiang Mingyue, "Mingyue, take the eldest son to a wing room."
"Yes, father." Jiang Mingyue nodded and looked at Bai Ze.
Bai Ze did not refuse and walked straight towards Jiang Mingyue. Aware of Wu Shuang's thoughtful gaze, Bai Ze suddenly asked as he passed by her: "Have you been dreaming?"
"Dream?" When Wu Shuang heard this, he was startled at first, then frowned, looking suspicious, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's okay." Bai Ze said, "Just ask."
"..."
In the courtyard, Bai Ze left with Jiang Mingyue, and Wu Shuang couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and left. Jiang Cheng was still frightened, so he looked into Chen Shouren's eyes and said, "It's okay. This thief disguised himself as Bi'er and sneaked in here. If he has evil intentions, the Jiang family cannot bear the consequences."
"Uncle, don't be nervous," Chen Shouren said. "Just now he said he was an old friend. It doesn't sound like a lie. Maybe there is something hidden in it. Bai Ze doesn't want to say it, so naturally it's hard for us to ask."
"I hope so." Jiang Cheng sighed, calmed down, and when he was about to leave with Chen Shouren, he suddenly asked: "Xiannephew, what did you mean by what the eldest son asked before he left?"
"Dreaming?" Chen Shouren said, "Looking at Wu Shuang's reaction, it seems that Bai Ze told him what he was thinking. Maybe tomorrow, uncle, you can ask Mingyue to ask."
Jiang Cheng was thoughtful and left the courtyard with Chen Shouren.
In the corridor of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mingyue and Bai Ze walked side by side. The two of them didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was very subtle. Jiang Mingyue coughed lightly and asked proactively: "Are you... not injured?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Mingyue felt embarrassed.
Whether you are injured or not, you can tell at a glance!
"It's okay." Bai Ze said, "I'm really sorry that I made you worry."
"It should be." Jiang Mingyue said, "My father is a little reckless sometimes. I hope the eldest son will not take offense."
"Uncle Jiang treats me very well. It's not his problem." Bai Ze sighed, stopped and said, "Miss Mingyue, maybe you all have questions in your mind. Frankly speaking, I am also very confused now."
Jiang Mingyue also stopped and looked at Bai Ze. She didn't know how to answer the question and muttered: "Perhaps you can speak up and let others give you advice? After all...there is a saying that the authorities are confused, right?"
Bai Ze was stunned.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Mingyue realized later that this was very abrupt and said quickly: "It seems like..."
"It's okay." Bai Ze said, looking at Jiang Mingyue, "If Miss Mingyue made an agreement with a person when she was very young, but something happened, you quickly put the agreement behind you, or even completely forgot about it. Many years later, you and that person meet again, and she asks you why you forgot the promise, what would you think?"
Jiang Mingyue looked at Bai Ze and was speechless for a long time.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Ze left Jiang Mansion early.
Chen Shouren looked very unhappy when he saw Wu Shuang folding his arms and looking at Bai Ze's retreating back.
"Why, that boy is going to meet the girl from last night?" Chen Shouren joked with a smile, "Why are you so angry? I'll tell you that this boy is not a good match."
"Mr. Chen, what did you say!" Wu Shuang glared at Chen Shouren like a cat with fur.
The elegant gentleman was half leaning on the vermilion pillar, watching the girl jumping and laughing.
"Immortals are ruthless, will I be like that fool like him, who was so young that I was fascinated by women and became dizzy?" Wu Shuang snorted, "That is the most boring thing in the world."
"Well, that makes sense." Chen Shouren said with a smile, "You are still promising and ambitious. But having said that, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Please understand."
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to understand." Wu Shuang patted the fine snow on her shoulder, looked at the gentleman, and asked: "You put it this way, does it mean that the gentleman also has a sad beauty level?"
The smile on Chen Shouren's face was still there, but the smile in his eyes quietly disappeared at this moment.
"It's rare, it's rare." Chen Shouren said, "To have the genius swordsman from Huoshen Mountain praise me as a hero. If I return to the academy, I will be able to say that."
From the other end of the corridor, there was the sound of subtle footsteps.
Chen Shouren looked back and saw that the person coming was Jiang Mingyue. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Miss Mingyue."
"Good morning, Mr. Chen." Jiang Mingyue greeted politely.
Wu Shuang saw that the gentleman was avoiding talking subconsciously, and the girl's sensitive mind immediately realized that something was wrong.
It seemed that I had accidentally touched Mr. Chen's sore spot.
Wu Shuang felt a little annoyed.
…
Bai Ze left Jiang Mansion and headed straight out of the city.
The method of vertical golden light is a low-level secret technique for transporting mountains and rivers, similar to the method of So close to the end of the world. Although Bai Ze doesn't know this technique, this secret technique comes from Xie Xuan. He can "see" the traces of golden light left in the veins of mountains and rivers with his superior Qi.
Bai Ze followed the trace and left the city. He hurried slowly and hurriedly. After a while, he arrived at the military town behind the Great Wall, Qingyang.
Now the Great Wall has assembled the two armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty to confront the million-strong army of the Wasteland tribe. Except for the necessary garrison sergeants, there are almost no adult men with sound limbs in Qingyang.
Bai Ze followed the traces until he found an extremely remote shack area in Qingyang Military Town. The shacks here can almost be regarded as a gathering place for refugees. The houses are so simple that if you look around, you can see that there are no airtight walls at all.
The residents here use rotten wooden boards mixed with grass to cover their walls. The dirty slush piles up in the streets and alleys, and half-buried the emaciated and frozen people. It is completely miserable.
Dead silence can be said to be the main theme here.
With a heavy heart, Bai Ze came to a dilapidated hut. The snow on the roof made of thatched grass had obviously been cleared away, preventing the roof from collapsing.
"Sang Sang, why did you come back if you didn't go out?" An old voice came from the house, and the sound of a wooden stick hitting the ground was heard. After a while, the door creaked open a crack.
…
