On a sparsely populated street at the other end of Yanzhou City, a horse ran quickly past.
The man on the horse holds the reins with one hand and the whip with the other. He was dressed in black, his waist was slender and stiff, his figure was handsome, and he looked cool.
Wearing a brown hat with a wide brim on his head, it almost covered his entire face, making it impossible to tell what the man looked like.
That person was none other than Bai Ya, who had just parted ways with Wen Xiaoyun.
Under the brim of his hat, his eyes were cold and his brows were slightly furrowed. The street scene in front of him was becoming more and more desolate and gloomy. In the end, not even half a person could be seen around, and the houses on both sides of the street showed a dilapidated scene of overgrown weeds and ruins.
Finally he could see a house with a lantern hanging in the distance. He tightened the reins with a groan, and the horse's hooves immediately kicked a few steps and stopped.
Bai Yao looked at the house from a distance with a heavy gaze.
The place should have been desolate and dilapidated, but now it seems to have been transformed by some fairy. The broken walls have been repaired, the window paper has been repaired, and the weeds on the roof have been cleaned up, giving birth to a vigorous life. In this deserted Plague Village, he stood out from the crowd and was particularly eye-catching.
Bai Yufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of Wen Xiaoyun's smile as bright as the sun.
As long as she is there, there is sunshine and life.
"Your Highness," a deep voice suddenly came from behind, "I'm late."
Bai Yao's eyes turned slightly to the side, and a black shadow suddenly flew down from behind the horse.
It was a masked man in black, kneeling down on one knee and saluting respectfully.
Bai Yao turned his gaze back to the small courtyard in front and sighed softly, "Did the journey go smoothly?"
The man in black clasped his hands in front of him, bowed his head respectfully, "Although there was an accident, it has been resolved. Don't worry, Fourth Palace." After saying that, he raised his head, glanced at Bai Ya hesitantly, and whispered hesitantly, " Your Highness, Qin Qi..."
Bai Yao suddenly tightened his grip on the reins, and his eyes instantly became a little cold, "You will be the only one left by the shadow guard, and the rest will go to help Qin Qi."
Hearing this, the masked shadow guard opened his eyes in surprise, "Your Highness, how can you leave only Shuhua by your side? Your Highness's safety is more important than Qin Qi..."
Bai Ya glanced coldly at the shadow guard who claimed to be Shuhua, "Can't you protect me alone?"
Shuhua's eyes froze for a moment, then she lowered her head in fear and answered obediently, "My subordinates will die, but they will be sincere when facing danger and serve in the face of difficulties."
Bai Yao's cold face finally felt relieved. He gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs and continued to move forward.
"Your Highness..." Shu Hua looked at Bai Yao's slowly moving back, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but call out again.
Bai Ya raised his chin slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Qin Qi has been waiting for me outside the door for so many years and has never made any mistakes. If you really miss him, do your job for him."
The corner of Shuhua's mouth twitched unwillingly, but she could only lower her head in obedience and obeyed the order, "Shuhua accepts the order."
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up and disappeared into the surrounding shadows again, following Bai Yao silently like the wind or a shadow.
The white duck raised its head and drove the horse forward. After traveling for an unknown amount of time, one man and one horse finally arrived at the deepest part of the Plague Manor.
Compared with the abandoned houses and courtyards outside, the one standing in front of Bai Yao is much larger in scale.
Bai Yu raised his head and glanced at the four-story abandoned building in front of him, his eyes growing colder.
