The chill penetrates the bones.
The moment the door opened, the old man in the room shrank visibly. His cloudy eyes looked at Bai Ze numbly, but his rickety body made her eyes only reach Bai Ze's chest.
"Not Sangsang?" the old man said hesitantly.
"Grandma, Sangsang...will I live with you?" Bai Ze said in a difficult tone.
"Who are you?" The old man suddenly became alert and tried to close the door. "You heard me wrong...Old lady, I'm calling my grandson. He went to fight on the front line and hasn't come home yet..."
Before closing the door, Bai Ze said: "Grandma, I am Sangsang's brother. Has she gone out and when will she be back?"
The traces of Zongdi's golden light disappeared here. It must be that she came back and did not use the secret technique when she left.
"Are you... Sangsang's brother?" The old man waited for a while, then opened the door a little, and said anxiously: "Come in, kid, it's cold outside, don't freeze..."
Bai Ze then walked in, closed the door, and helped the old man sit down by the firepit. Bai Ze saw that fine charcoal had been added to the fire pit, and it was very warm when he got close.
"Sang Sang is a good child. It's such a cold day. I don't know where she got the charcoal." The old man sat down shakily and reached for the kettle hanging on the fire pit.
The hand looked like old dry bark.
The kettle hanging on the fire pit was filled with charcoal ash and was as black as ink.
"Drink some water and warm yourself up... Young man, you said you are Sangsang's brother?" The old man babbled. Seeing this, Bai Ze took the kettle and added more to the two missing pottery bowls. Give one bowl of water to the old man and hold the other bowl for yourself.
"Sang Sang told me that her grandma and grandpa who loved her most were both dead." The old man took a sip of water and continued: "She only has you as a relative."
"Grandma, has Sangsang been living with you all these years?" Bai Ze felt sour in his heart.
"Hey, child, have you just returned home?" the old man said. "Counting the time, this child Sangsang has been living with me for more than half a year. Your father forced her to marry, saying that he was from a wealthy family in Suicheng. What is your name...Yoshihiro? But Sang Sang is not willing. From what I can see, as an old woman, sometimes it is good to be well-matched, but it takes a lifetime for this woman to get married. You men are capable, and you have three wives and four concubines. It's all normal. But women are different. Once married, they are just the man's wife or concubine."
The old man held the pottery bowl tremblingly, took a sip of water, and continued: "There are parents-in-law above and children below. If you are a wealthy family, you will inevitably have to deal with concubines in the middle. How difficult it is."
Bai Ze remained silent.
"I heard from Sangsang that Yihong is already married." The old man said, "It's for Sangsang that he can let his wife be his concubine. What does that sound like? If he dares to divorce his wife and marry Sangsang today, will he do it tomorrow? Don’t you dare to leave Sangsang and marry another woman?”
"Grandma is right," Bai Ze said, "That Yoshihiro is indeed not a good person."
"My child, you are Sangsang's brother. Sooner or later, your family will be yours." The old man put down the pottery bowl and groped for Bai Ze's arm. "You should also advise your father. You have many siblings." We haven't seen each other for years. When I came home this time, I immediately came to see my sister. It can be seen that you still care about Sangsang. Don't miss Sangsang's lifelong happiness just because of this family feud. "
"Okay, grandma," Bai Ze said, "I'll go back and persuade him right away. I will definitely not let Sangsang marry Yihong."
"Good boy." The old man smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Then you go quickly. When Sangsang comes back, I will tell her that you are here to see her, and you siblings can be reunited soon."
Bai Ze responded and left the house.
The old man sent him to the door and listened carefully to Bai Ze's footsteps getting further and further away, drowned in the cold winter wind.
Gesang was from the wasteland, so she definitely could not be the daughter of a wealthy family in Suicheng. And the name "Yoshihiro" is also very strange. It would be better if there was a surname before the name. Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the name of a wasteland person.
Bai Ze's mood was complicated.
Gesang sneaked into Qingyang Military Town behind the Great Wall, and yesterday he entered Jiangfu in Suicheng City. He pretended to be Bi'er and entered his room, cooperating with the dream weaver to make Bai Ze fall into a dream. All this was obviously planned for a long time.
So what should he do?
In terms of love, Bai Ze didn't want her to die on the Great Wall.
From a rational point of view, the war in the wilderness and the Great Wall is tense now. How can we feel at ease if we let it go?
Just when Bai Ze was struggling in his heart, at the end of the dilapidated street, a figure stood with hands hanging down, without an umbrella, letting the fine snow fall on his shoulders, quietly watching Bai Ze walk step by step.
When that figure appeared, Bai Ze suddenly stopped.
"Gelsang, long time no see." Bai Ze looked at that figure and couldn't tell how he felt in his heart.
"Gesang is dead." The man said, his expression neither happy nor sad, and he just looked at Bai Ze, "The person in front of you is the goddess of the Yanyue Sect, and also the princess of the True Yanbu, Yan Ji."
"grid……"
"I know you may have a lot to say." Yan Ji said, "This has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Grandpa. It has been so many years...so long that I have begun to forget. I still remember that Grandpa said that I was angry Lucky for me. Maybe at that time, I should have realized that we would not be traveling on the same road after all."
"If you don't get what you want here, I'll take you away." Bai Ze said, "Didn't you say you wanted to see the endless sea? I can take you to Song Country..."
"Bai Ze, you have grown up." Yan Ji smiled, "Me too. The vain dreams I had when I was young will eventually be broken at some point in the future. In fact, I shouldn't come to see you. But my grandfather is dead, I don’t want you to die too.”
Bai Ze was stunned.
"Don't enter the wasteland." Yan Ji said, "You killed a clone of the Heavenly Demon Holy Son, and they won't let it go. The Demon Temple has laid out plans for you, don't go, you will die."
"Guan Shan, is this their plan too?" Bai Ze asked.
Yan Ji's expression changed slightly, she hesitated for a moment, and said: "That is a miracle. Perhaps, it is also my destination. Eternal night is coming, those things are coming out of the ice field, no one can stop them, and everyone in the wasteland will die. .”
Bai Ze said: "Is it a white ghost? What on earth is that..."
"We have no choice." Yan Ji seemed to be in a daze, muttering to herself, "This war is just the prelude, they will not stop until the blood is shed. Brother, remember, don't go."
After saying that, Yan Ji seemed to have been greatly stimulated by something, her expression became frightened, her figure flashed, and she went north, faster than the golden light on the ground, so that Bai Ze could not react at all.
Just as he was about to chase after him, a figure came from outside with a sword and quickly arrived in front of Bai Ze.
The visitor was dressed in black, with a sword pattern embroidered on his collar, and his expression was stern, but the panic hidden within was still keenly captured by Bai Ze.
"Wang Han, why are you here?" Bai Ze asked, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Don't ask anymore." Wang Han said, "Follow me back to Sanshan Mansion. The hall master has something important to do with you."
"Xue Xing is looking for me?" Bai Ze's uneasiness grew stronger. He and Wang Han went straight to the sky, left Qingyang, and headed straight for Suicheng.
Suicheng, Sanshan government office.
When Bai Ze and Wang Han arrived, they looked around and saw that Xue Xing, Ji Kui, Luoyang, Chen Yang, Lu Wenbing, Chen Shouren, Xue Daoheng, Zhou Guanqi, Qi Xiaosa, Jiang Mingyue and others were there, as well as three other masters from the Five Realms. There were more than ten people, excluding the Five Realm monks who were on the border of the Great Wall and those who stayed in various military towns. This kind of gathering made Bai Ze's heart skip a beat.
Under the Five Realms, there are more people.
I'm afraid something big has changed!
Sanshan Prefecture Yamen Zhangyuan and Kui Yuan were all present.
"Everyone, we have lost the battle on the front line. We cannot wait for the invasion of the wasteland." Zhao Guizhen spoke seriously. Seeing Bai Ze being retrieved by Wang Han, he continued: "Under the first order, people from the Yanyue Sect and the Demon Temple have sneaked into all sides of the Great Wall. Military town. In Suicheng, clues have been discovered. The war is imminent. It is important to guard the rear, but it is also necessary to spy on the enemy's intelligence. "
"The deployment of the troops of the Wasteland Monster Clan has been basically figured out." Deng Sheng said in a deep voice, "The Yanyue Sect's people are scattered everywhere. Except for those hiding in the barbarian military camp, a main force headed by Liu Zhen has already appeared. . But other main forces, especially the location of the Yanyue Sect’s mountain gate, still need to be explored.”
"The most important thing is the Demon Temple that surfaced during this war." Zhao Guizhen said, "Whether this force comes from the wasteland or is hidden in the borders of the seven northern kingdoms, we must find out. This is a An excellent opportunity. If we can touch the gate of the Demon Temple, the possibility of completing the battle to eliminate the demons will be greatly improved!"
Bai Ze's eyes swept around for a week, but he still couldn't find the figure of the fourth senior brother Chen Ping. The uneasiness in my heart became even stronger.
Could it be that he was staying in the military town behind the Great Wall?
But thinking about what Yan Ji said to him in the Qingyang slum area, Bai Ze was already preparing for the worst.
The front line was defeated.
Bai Ze did not see Chen Ping in Sanshan Mansion these days. After the fourth senior brother told him not to leave the Great Wall, he seemed to disappear.
Could it be...
Bai Ze already had a vague guess in his heart, and he had no intention of listening to Zhao Guizhen and Deng Sheng's arrangements behind them.
After the meeting, more than ten masters of the Five Realms, led by Xue Xing and Xue Daoheng, were divided into two teams and were about to sneak into the depths of the wasteland to find out the enemy's intelligence.
The rest were sent to the front lines of the Great Wall and major military towns in the rear. When Xue Xing and others bring back the information, together with the three mountain government offices and arrows, the Great Wall monks will launch an all-out attack and completely shatter the wasteland forces' delusions of conquering the Great Wall!
Among these people, Bai Ze, Wu Shuang, and Wang Han did not have any arrangements and stayed behind at Sanshan Mansion.
Bai Ze stopped Xue Xing directly when everyone dispersed and walked around. The master of the Immortal Sword Holding Hall glanced at him, his eyes dark and extremely gloomy.
The murderous intention revealed unintentionally by the Fifth Realm Great Monk made Bai Ze's heart palpitate for a moment when he met his eyes.
Just when Bai Ze was about to ask Xue Xing about Chen Ping's whereabouts, Zhao Guizhen suddenly spoke up and stopped him.
