Outside the city gate, beside the ancient road, there is shade everywhere...
There were three riders waiting for them, Xuan Tiancheng, Bai Tian, and Shu Xiao who was waving hello.
Xuan Tiancheng wanted to rush up and ask about his whereabouts last night, but when he saw Zhang Qi looking down and solemn, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Shu Xiao didn't seem to understand anything, but he seemed to understand everything. He ran over first and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qi, how are you and my mother doing?"
Looking at Shu Xiao, who was full of expectations, and his cute look, Zhang Qi felt a trace of guilt in his heart. The road ahead was full of thorns, and he needed to use his body to go through it step by step, but he could only leave her mother and daughter behind. The two of them looked forward to begging for their return.
One year, ten years, a hundred years, ten thousand years...
When is the return date?
Zhang Qi didn't know how cruel it was to let a mother and daughter in their golden years guard the hope of someone who didn't know the sun and the moon.
If I had known this, why would I have bothered to pick out that strand of love?
Zhang Qi felt really guilty.
Guilt requires wine as much as drinking requires peanuts.
So Zhang Qi had wine.
Good wine.
A century-old wine!
Drink it in your mouth, get drunk in your heart...
Zhang Qi nodded and touched Shu Xiao's little head, "Xiaoxiao, Brother Qi is going on a long trip. When Brother Qi is not at home, you have to take good care of your mother and don't let her cry. Do you understand?"
"Also, no matter if your mother likes something or meets someone she likes, Xiaoxiao will support your mother, okay?"
"Xiaoxiao knows that Xiaoxiao will take good care of mother." Shu Xiao jumped happily. As long as her mother and Zhang Qi confirmed their relationship, she knew that she had a home, a home that truly belonged to her.
"Brother Qi, when will you come back? Xiaoxiao and mother will help you make a fragrant quilt!" Shu Xiaoxiao shouted.
"Xiaoxiao, Brother Qi will be back soon, okay?" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qi turned around and took the rope from Shu Xiao's hand. He really couldn't bear to face a cute girl who had been deceived by him.
"Drive..." Zhang Qi rode forward. He couldn't bear to see Shu Xiao who kept shouting "goodbye" behind him, but he left that wisp of lovesickness in Fengyu City!
However, at the moment when Zhang Qi's figure disappeared, a beautiful figure slowly walked out of the flowers. When Shu Xiao saw it, she ran over crying, "Mom, seventh brother is gone, seventh brother is gone, why don't you come?" Send it, woo woo..."
"Is he gone? He's still gone, he should go!" Shu Yun murmured, and after turning around, two lines of clear tears fell on the flowers and turned into moonwater, poignant and touching...
"Seventh brother, what's going on with you? Why didn't City Lord Shu come to see you off before leaving? Are you two..." Xuan Tiancheng asked on horseback.
"It's nothing. Everything has passed. We should hurry up and rush to the teleportation point. Don't miss the return date." Zhang Qi said riding forward.
"Why don't you take her with you?" This sentence suddenly appeared during the day.
Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react, and subconsciously said: "You know?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't you think it was a coincidence that no one passed by the flower bush all night?" Tian Tian looked at Zhang Qi and rolled his eyes at her.
Only then did Zhang Qi remember that night. At that time, he was so intoxicated in the gentle countryside that he really didn't notice this detail. Thinking about it now, he should have helped him stay outside during the day, but at this time, he was...
It's actually outside during the day, this...
Zhang Qi subconsciously turned to look at Bai Tian in embarrassment. He was so blushing that he really wanted to find a hole to crawl in. He thought that this time the fun was over and Bai Tian might beat him up, but he didn't expect that Bai Tian just rolled his eyes at him and said, Calling him a "hooligan" is a common thing in the Elysian World, but Zhang Qi's own concept has not changed.
"Actually, you were right not to take her with you." Bai Tian looked into the distance faintly, "Such an elegant woman should be accompanied by flowers, knowing that accompanying them, the blood of the world will only make her wither faster."
"Alas!" Zhang Qi sighed and tightened Tian Tian's hand. It seemed that this woman was the only one who truly understood him.
"You will be kind to her. Although I believe this more than anyone else, I can't help but say, please be kind to this kind woman!" Bai Tian looked into Zhang Qi's eyes and said seriously.
"I will, I will definitely do it." Zhang Qi responded seriously.
"..."
With a "pop" sound, a big bump immediately appeared on Zhang Qi's head, followed by another shout from the daytime, "You gangster, you dare to eat my tofu again."
With "screams" one after another, the three of them drifted away...
When they arrived at the teleportation array, the three of them readily paid the high teleportation fee. With a flash of white light, when they appeared again, they had arrived at a first-level town not far from Case Town.
Zhang Qi is concerned about the Jiuyang Yangyuan Pill and is eager to go back and implement it, including the transaction route and transaction contacts. These are very important. Although the Jiuyang Yangyuan Pill is not of high value, the quantity is huge. More importantly, this matter is absolutely Don't let outsiders know, otherwise there is a risk of exposing the transforming mecha.
After leaving the teleportation array, the three of them galloped towards the direction of Waning Moon Town. But the strange thing is that the closer they get to Waning Moon Town, the more they feel the slightest hint of danger. For those who have experienced life and death for a long time, this ability to predict danger is very reliable.
But the strange thing is that this feeling is like a hanged ghost. It has appeared since they stepped into the teleportation array. Until they rode away, they were still hanging there. The farther away from the teleportation array, the worse this feeling became. obvious.
Zhang Qi secretly laughed and said, it seems that someone is targeting him, and this person is unwilling to take action in the teleportation array. He must be worried about the large number of people there, and the people who can be in that place are either rich or noble. Looking at it this way, I am afraid that this person He is definitely not an ordinary unknown person, otherwise there is no need to have such scruples.
What's even more strange is that the road they are walking on now is the main commercial road leading to Kester, so this road has always been very prosperous and has a huge flow of people, but now it is actually very deserted. After riding for several hours, there is not even a single person. None encountered.
This is definitely not normal.
Obviously, it was not only Zhang Qi who felt such an obvious abnormality during the day, not to mention Xuan Tiancheng.
The three of them exchanged glances. Zhang Qi shook one hand and moved his fingers together to convey the tactical arrangement. These were secret codes between them, and it was difficult for others to understand.
Yu Yu... suddenly stepped off the lion horse and let out a panicked scream, with its four hooves kicking uneasily. This kind of situation is rare in lion horses with the blood of extreme beasts. From this, it can be seen that that guy should be not far away. , and has already made murderous intentions, otherwise it would be impossible to cause the lion and horse to panic, and the strength is definitely not low.
The three people jumped off their horses and stood on the ground seemingly casually, but their orientation and orientation were very particular, which was the most suitable formation position for them to display their strength.
Zhang Qi looked around, put his hands behind his back, looked up in the air and said: "Looking from a distance is worse than talking up close. It is disrespectful to hide one's head and show one's tail. Your Excellency has been escorting us since the teleportation array. I am very grateful."
Toot toot…
A sound of footsteps like knocking on the door sounded in the air, which seemed particularly strange on this empty road. A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the clouds and mist. Its true appearance was not visible with the sun behind it, but it exuded a powerful aura. The sword energy makes people feel in awe.
This man walked very slowly, but he was in front of him in the blink of an eye, and the voice seemed to come from a far away place.
"The three little kids are quite clever, but it's a pity, it's a pity..." The figure followed the voice and faded out of the thick fog, and then the true appearance was revealed.
This is a slightly older man, with three strands of medium-length clear beard under his chin. His pale face is almost sickly, as if he has not seen the sun for decades. He is wearing an old gray robe that reaches the floor and has a comfortable expression on his face. His smile looked very much like that of an old gentleman from a private school, except that a simple long knife hung on his belt looked very abrupt, and that permeating sword aura came from this knife.
powerful!
Very strong!
Even stronger than the Xi Yong we just met. With this amazing sword energy, his master is by no means an ordinary purple-level strongman, but a Xuchi strongman who stands at the pinnacle.
Xu Chi, strictly speaking, has broken away from the category of the purple level. Although it has not entered the red level, it is definitely not something that the purple level can compete with. Just like back then, a Wang Tianwei who had just entered the Xu Chi level could actually crush an experienced player. The semi-powerful Chen Tian can be seen from this.
"What's the pity?" Zhang Qi said lightly. Although Xu Chi was strong, it was not enough for Zhang Qi to run away.
"It's a pity that someone is going to die!"
"you!"
"I don't think so."
"It doesn't look like that there?"
"The knife doesn't look like it."
"Do you think my knife can't kill people?" The old man smiled.
"No." Zhang Qi said seriously, "Maybe it can kill pigs or dogs, but it can't kill people."
"Oh. Why?" The old man smiled again.
"Because the dead cannot kill." Zhang Qi thought for a while and replied, as if he had the answer to this question after thinking about it.
The old man laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist. He laughed so much that he even vomited out yesterday's lunch.
Then he suddenly stopped laughing, as if it wasn't him who was laughing just now, and turned to look at Zhang Qi seriously and said, "You don't know me?"
"Why should I know you?" Zhang Qi said.
"Because I am Xi Huaiyuan, Xi Huaiyuan's Xi, Xi Huaiyuan's Huaiyuan." The old man said.
"It's a bad name."
"Is it bad there?"
"That's not a good explanation. Wouldn't it be better if it were replaced by Xi from the Xi family or Huaiyuan from the Sword Sect?" Zhang Qi asked seriously.
The old man clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, that Xi Huaiyuan is indeed not good. In that case, can you die?"
"No, because you are not dead yet." Zhang Qi said seriously.
The old man laughed again, but the laughter did not stop. Suddenly, a sword flashed from the ground, like a gray lightning, falling from the sky.
The old man is moving, and Zhang Qi is also moving. The difference is that one is in front and the other is behind, but this does not affect Zhang Qi's judgment and handling of this knife, because in this situation he at least There are a hundred ways to go about it.
So he chose the simplest one.
In fact, many people complicate simple things. Zhang Qi hates complexity, so his method is the simplest - to meet it.
There are many ways to approach him, but definitely not with the chest, but with the shield.
The origin of transformation condensed into a huge shield in his hand. Xi Huaiyuan smiled contemptuously. For a Xuchi strongman, even a casual blow would be fatal to a purple-level warrior. Even if the shield could block a blow, the huge shock would at least shatter him. Half of the bones in the body, so Xi Huaiyuan's sword remained unchanged and struck the center of the shield with one strike.
"boom"
The powerful spiritual power formed lines of force on the shield, rippling like water waves. Then, Zhang Qi's body flew out like a cannonball, and did not stop until he hit a big tree behind him.
"Cough cough cough..." Blood mixed with foam spit out from his mouth in large mouthfuls.
"Beep beep beep..." The strange walking sound kept approaching, like the alarm bell sounded by the god of death.
Xi Huaiyuan looked at Zhang Qi who was vomiting blood, and a trace of blush appeared on his pale face.
He is the core figure of the Xi family of the Sword Sect. His way of swordsmanship originated from killing, and he broke into the purple realm from the sea of blood through killing. However, he has been practicing hard in seclusion for hundreds of years in order to enter the red realm and cultivate his moral character. But how could he easily erase the desire for killing that penetrated his heart? When he saw Zhang Qi spurting blood and retreating wildly, the will to kill in his heart was once again ignited.
He likes killing, and he even likes to look at the desperate expressions of his opponents. Many of his opponents were tortured to death by him, just to satisfy his abnormal psychology of appreciating the despair and struggle before death.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry, not at all, and walked towards Zhang Qi step by step. Xi Huaiyuan felt inexplicably excited because he could torture the most outstanding genius and the most dazzling Messenger of Heavenly Cry in thousands of years.
Looking at Xi Huaiyuan who was getting closer, Zhang Qi looked at him angrily, holding the shield firmly with trembling hands, showing a stubbornness that would rather die than surrender, while Xuan Tiancheng and Bai Tian looked at Xi Huaiyuan warily.
Xi Huaiyuan smiled and said with a strange smile, "Now, can you die?"
Zhang Qi responded bitterly: "No!"
"Okay then!" Xi Huaiyuan sighed, "I can only help you so far."
He didn't know when he pulled out Gu Pu's long knife and pointed at Zhang Qi from afar.
Suddenly, he drew a mysterious angle and slashed at the shield again...
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred...
