July of the 1922nd year of Eltiero Urumqi
Across the hot air of this emerging city, an extremely beautiful hotel stands among the vast water and clouds.
This manor hotel called Rose Red, with a vast rose garden with a vast vestibule. On hundreds of pings of vast green lawns, blooming roses are planted. The flowers are as bright as fire and exuding a rich fragrance, which makes people first attracted by the fragrance of roses before they get close.
Behind the bright red rose garden is a delicate and elegant red tiled mansion, with four-story snow-white window walls. Flowers are planted on hundreds of windowsills, colorful and colorful, as if it exudes the vigorous vitality of this hotel and injects vitality into every visiting passenger.
Of course, while the tourists who came to Rose Red were surprised that there was such a pearl in the wilderness and mountains, they would not forget the original purpose of coming here.
When you pass through the main building of the hotel and come to the back of the big house, you will see the misty hot air there rising upwards. Dozens of hot spring pools of different sizes are welcomed in different postures and appearances.
In the rose-red hall, artworks and calligraphy and paintings collected from all over the world are hung. Although the various artistic carvings are dazzling, what really makes viewers amazed are the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall beams.
Calligraphy and painting are not written by celebrities. Some landscape paintings from Wu Lian have not even been signed, but every stroke is drawn, the mountains and rivers are full of majestic style. The person who writes seems to have 100,000 soldiers in his heart, and is extraordinary; and the big white paper fan hanging at the front entrance of the hall, the four thick ink words "World Conquer" above, although it makes people confused, but a chic and arrogant style is like a black dragon, and is about to break the paper and fly out and come to his face.
It is these subtle and elegant hearts that make Rose Red free from the world and become the first resort in the northwest. However, in addition to these external advantages, there is also a vague rumor that is circulating among the business and hotels passing by, that is, the unwritten rules of this hotel. No matter what disputes or hatreds are there, you have to let go of Rose Red, because this is a peaceful place that does not allow trouble. If someone wants to destroy it with his strength, he will immediately see... The backend of this hotel is really hard.
Ordinary people don’t know what backstage Rosehong has, and there are no security guards in the hotel. If you want to say that there is a particularly eye-catching focus, it is a handsome man sitting at the counter and wearing a neat white uniform.
The long golden hair was casually tied behind the head; the gold-framed glasses on the face added a little gentleness, and the gentle smile diluted the original cold feeling, but the calm and mature male charm made every passenger unable to help but look at it, especially female guests. Many of them even took the keys of the housing from him with their favorite eyes at first sight.
Even if you don’t become a general, Brother Yu can still be a very successful shopkeeper!There is no need to sell hot springs, as long as you sit there and smile, our guests will be endless.
The wife's lack of jealousy in her jokes made Gongjin feel relieved because he could never stand the kind of superficial women with a chick; however, his wife's possessiveness with him often made Gongjin feel inexplicably worried, which was really a ridiculous embarrassment.
If Xiao Qiao was sitting at the counter, it might have a similar attraction to male guests, but Gongjin would never suggest that, because he knew very well that he could not accept this kind of scene.
(This summer is dry and hot, and the grape harvest is good, so there should be a good price; the lawn on the south side of the vestibule is partly yellow, so someone should be asked to deal with fertilization, and the termites in the museum will be troublesome if they are not applied to the medicine as soon as possible to expel and strengthen the void. Calculate these, the cost to be added this month is...)
Sitting behind the counter, Gongjin checked the numbers in the account book item by item, and made many calculations in his mind. This was the new life he gradually got used to.
From being in charge of thousands of troops to being content with ordinary life, there are many gaps in between, but Gongjin is willing to live a very comfortable life.
In his own mood, although he doesn't hate it, he can't say he likes this kind of life. However, as long as he is with Xiao Qiao, no matter what he does, he can feel a kind of satisfying happiness.
There is nothing wrong with such dullness. I and my wife have made some small achievements from nothing to something, and have a planable future. If you follow this trajectory, every day in the future will be spent in this kind of happiness, regardless of the great cause of the country or the rise and fall of the world, and only spend their days in a quiet corner of the world, staying with the loved ones. This... there is nothing to be satisfied with.
(Really? Are you really willing to live this kind of life? This kind of life...is it really what you should live? You clearly know that you can have more...)
Occasionally, when a busy life appears, when a cool breeze blows by, Gongjin will hear a certain desire in his heart, which turns into a soft voice, and sounds like a sigh in his ear. Whenever this sound appears, he will use the same words to tell himself, so that he can continue to devote himself to his current work after a smile.
However, when he saw the familiar figure stepping into the door, Gongjin suddenly felt that the voice was not just a whisper this time, but appeared in front of him in a more practical image.
The leader of the group...
It's been a long time since I saw you, Jiang Zhong.
Gongjin did not forget this former loyal subordinate. At that time, he was the leader of the Phantom Brigade and mixed into the rebels, conducting various activities, and fled alone before his identity leaked.
Before escaping, he did not inform anyone, but he had long known what would happen to his subordinates who were left in the rebel camp.
On the one hand, Gongjin believed that Xiao Qiao would handle it properly; on the other hand, he didn't care what these people would be dealt with at that time.
After years of lurking life, he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and used a group of people to lurking work. When the task ended, his false identity was exposed. These people were not the first group to be abandoned by him, nor would they be the last group.
Seeing Jiang Zhong appear, Gongjin once suspected that he was taking revenge at home, and this kind of scene was not gone.
But seeing that although Jiang Zhong was covered in dust and exhausted, his eyes were filled with sincere and eager joy, Gongjin couldn't help but give up this idea and welcomed this former subordinate with a peaceful attitude.
As the landlord's friendship, Gongjin helped this subordinate arrange accommodation and reception.
Jiang Zhong seemed to be difficult to adapt to the changes in his superiors. He was mentally prepared to see a frustrated general who was unsuccessful, but he did not expect to see a gentle and friendly hotel owner. Such changes made Jiang Zhong try hard to pretend to smile and stop talking in many places.
Gongjin could naturally see Jiang Zhong’s abnormality.
This loyal subordinate is not at the age of missing the past. Perhaps in another one or two hundred years, he will come to visit his old friends to reminisce about his past friendship, but Jiang Zhong is still very young at present and will travel thousands of miles to Urumqi, which must have a purpose.
But Gongjin didn't want to ask too much, because he still didn't know some things. Over the years, he and Xiao Qiao have been deliberately avoiding external news, not wanting to know what happened on the other end of the mountain, and who is in charge of that land.
Knowing but being unable to change is the hardest thing. Gongjin doesn't want the hard-earned happiness to be broken like this.
However……
Lord Gongjin, I... don't want to disturb your life, but I feel that I have the responsibility to bring some words to you. This is my promise to many brothers. I will only say it once. Please let me finish it, and I will leave immediately after that.
When Jiang Zhong suddenly stood up and said this to Gongjin, Gongjin faced a choice.
If I stick to my original idea, I should stand up immediately and leave. However, the two and a half years of life made Gongjin feel soft-hearted, and I feel guilty for this subordinate who is still loyal to me. Therefore, Gongjin remained silent and let Jiang Zhong say what he wanted to say.
After Lord Gongjin and Xiao Qiao left, Miss Yaning took over the alliance...
What Jiang Zhong said was the news that Gongjin had avoided in the past two and a half years.
When they parted in Zhongdu, Yanning's attitude of not speaking a word made him feel a little wrong. There have been no words coming over the years, which is enough to see Yanning's mood. Now, listening to Jiang Zhong's words, huge waves immediately erupted in Gongjin's heart.
After Yan Ning became the commander of the coalition army, in order to gather this turbulent coalition army, he immediately began to eliminate dissidents.
With the ghosts and barbarians as the center, the coalition forces eliminated all the members with impure blood, and ensured that all the members who remained were pure blood, and each of them was a ghosts and barbarians in Zhenggang; all the bad guys who raised objections and intended to hinder this correct goal were labeled as colluding with the enemy and were purged by military law, and various absurd evidence was used to prove that these people had an affair with Eltiero or Bailu Cave.
This scrutiny caused a rebound, but it was quickly suppressed.
The humans and orcs in the coalition raised objections, saying that everyone was fighting for their common ideals and there was no reason to separate each other at this time. Such actions to destroy internal harmony would go against the original intention of Xiao Qiao's leader to form a coalition; however, the ghosts and beasts completely denied everything Xiao Qiao advocated and believed that they were the backbone of the founding of the coalition. With the consciousness of coming first and coming later, they should drive all the foreign tribes who came later out of the organization, because except the ghosts and beasts, other foreign tribes who had never had the same tragic years could collude with the enemy.
The Guiyi people think that their approach is absolutely correct, but in the eyes of others, they are just a group of patients with strong paranoia.
However, this group of anxious and manic patients had strong destructive power. Under the unified slogan, they strongly purged the dissidents and won the factional struggle.
As long as you are from a ghostly and barbarian, you will be right in everything you say; as long as you have no ghostly and barbarian bloodline, you will be wrong in everything you do.
An officer expelled from the coalition said helplessly when recalling all the things during that period.
In short, this purge was highly successful, but after the purge was completed, the coalition forces, which were seriously injured, were no longer able to maintain their previous momentum. In addition, after Xiao Qiao left, the Baizi family took all the assistance, and the coalition forces could no longer conquer cities and plunder land in the form of an army and maintain the defense of the occupied areas. Therefore, Yan Ning gave up the 80% of the cities currently occupied and put the remaining soldiers into a mobile team to provide supplies in the form of plunder.
The rebels, which once had millions of followers, now only have less than one hundred thousand left.
Although the numbers are unfavorable, the fanaticism during the battle is a hundred times higher than before. After the ban on plundering and massacre of cities was broken, the disaster of ghosts and barbarians became the most terrifying nightmare on the continent.
The name of the red-haired witch Tao Yanning made every Eltiero people famous. Under her leadership, the elite cavalry of 100,000 people were like a sudden swarm of locusts. Every time they went, they easily destroyed the city, eroded all the food and resources there, set fire to the buildings they saw, and after the burning, killing and robbery, they carried out a devastating massacre according to their geographical location.
Such violent tactics should theoretically not last long, but for some reason, this fierce fire burned more and more intensely in two and a half years, losing all the enemies in succession, and forcing Zhongdu half a month ago, achieving the glorious peak of the past performance of the ghosts and barbarians.
After Xiao Qiao left, before the ghosts and barbarians carried out organizational purging, some of the talented people who were self-disciplined had quietly retired. Some of them chose a similar way to Gongjin to escape the world, but some still adhered to Xiao Qiao's ideal, gathered to form an organization, and tried to stop the atrocities of the rebels in some small places.
Jiang Zhong joined such an organization, and ten days ago, they finally found out the whereabouts of Gongjin and Xiaoqiao, so Jiang Zhong was in charge of rushing to the scene, hoping to persuade Gongjin to come out and prevent the upcoming killing tragedy in Zhongdu City.
However, such news was basically in Gongjin's expectations and did not bring much shock to him, but what Jiang Zhong said next surprised Gongjin.
The walls of Zhongdu City are thick and there are sufficient preparations in the city, so it is difficult for the rebels to attack directly. However, Yan Ning instructed the rebels to dig outside the city, as if they were to dig out some earth dragons hidden deep on the nearby Yulong Mountain. With the energy explosion, it can not only easily destroy Zhongdu, but also affect the entire central part of Eltino.
(The earth dragon in Yulong Mountain...how did she know the secret there? The four earth caves are the most secrets of the Bailu Cave. Even Yan Ning, it is impossible to know the location of the cave, why...)
Surprised at what he heard, Gongjin's expression suddenly became heavy and he did not respond to what Jiang Zhong said.
The news came, Jiang Zhong kept his promise and left immediately after explaining everything he knew without stopping for a moment.
Gongjin did not try to keep him because what Jiang Zhong needed was a practical promise, not a comfortable rest for days and nights, but that was what he was most stingy about.
The ghosts are so powerful... This really makes Gongjin feel unhappy, but from Jiang Zhong's words, things seem to contain strange things. Could it be...
Whether it is the ghosts or the people in Zhongdu, they have nothing to do with me, and I have no reason to go out and drift this muddy water.
The comfortable life of these two and a half years is an unprecedented happiness in my life and should not be destroyed for any reason.
(Red-haired Witch, people call you Ah? Yaning...What are you thinking about over the years?)
Sitting alone on the bamboo and rattan chair, Gongjin pondered silently, his mind was in a mess, and he wanted to think, but he couldn't remember it.
But even he himself did not notice that at this time, a kind of speechless aura was emitting between his eyebrows, a kind of sharp aura that was unique to the generals of the commander and should not appear on the hotel owner.
The grape harvest this summer is good, and the wine market should have a good price; the lawn on the south side of the vestibule is a little yellow, so it is best to ask someone to deal with fertilization as soon as possible, and the termites in the museum, calculate these, the cost to be added this month is... Brother Yu, are you listening to me?
Xiao Qiao's anger made Gongjin come back to his senses from his thoughts. He smiled immediately, held his wife's weak and boneless little hand, adding warmth to the slightly cold palm.
Even in such a warm summer, with hot springs activate blood circulation, Xiao Qiao's hand still looks like a piece of cold and cold jade. Although it is white and tender, it lacks some healthy heat.
This is also the hidden worries that Gongjin has been in the past few years.
After leaving the battlefield and no longer using the three magical tools to fight, Xiao Qiao's body did not deteriorate rapidly, and his spirit became stronger and there was no abnormality in daily life. It seemed that the old injuries had been completely healed.
But Gongjin knew very well that this type of internal injuries would not be healed so easily by tangling the internal organs. Especially when he noticed that for a few nights in the past two and a half years, Xiao Qiao would still be immersed in the hot hot spring pool, and coughed gently and gently with the cover of smoke and flying flow.
The coughing movement was very mild and the sound was very small. It was much better than the tremor when the internal injury was the most serious.
This can be seen as a phenomenon of physical improvement, but it also symbolizes the fact that the remnant poison is not clear. Xiao Qiao's injury comes from excessive use of the three artifacts. The composition of the three artifacts involves the casting secret techniques and magic in the demon world. Several factors are complicated and affect each other, and Gongjin cannot effectively judge the physical condition of his wife.
However, since Xiao Qiao wanted to keep the secret, Gongjin pretended not to know and acted completely unaware of his wife's behavior. Only when she entered the hot spring and drove away the cold, she personally stewed a cup of chicken soup. When she got up and left, she would have such a cup of care that warmed the whole body and mind, and silently offered care.
This is the way Gongjin is used to to express himself. Although his handsome appearance often makes people mistakenly think that such a handsome man must be very good at speaking, Gongjin actually does more than what he said. No one else needs to see this. As long as Xiao Qiao cherishes it, it is enough.
Gongjin kept his wife tight-lipped and told her about the news brought by Jiang Zhong, without telling her any plans.
Xiao Qiao is a person with a soft heart and a strong emotional person. If she was allowed to know what the rebels did at this moment, Gongjin would not dare to imagine how much psychological pressure and harshness Xiao Qiao would bear, so there was no need to let her know about these things.
Gongjin hasn't made a decision yet, but he knows that he is likely to go out.
Gongjin didn’t care much about the life and death of the people of Eltino and the ghosts, because no matter which side is destroyed, he can survive safely. The reason why he had to leave was because of Yan Ning!
If Yan Ning had not taken over the burden of the leader, Xiao Qiao would not be able to leave with peace of mind. Therefore, in addition to thanking the elderly in the mountains for the past two and a half years of happy life, Yan Ning was also a hero who had made great contributions. She really felt guilty towards her. Now that things have evolved, Yan Ning wants to touch the secret of the underground cave, and she must go out to understand the situation.
The locations of the four major earth caves are located at the four corners of the Wind Continent.
Eltino is near Zhongdu, while Wu Lian is not far from Pengfenpo, and Free City is in the Albanter Mountain area, and the location of Reins Thiren is unknown.
This should be the supreme secret of Bailu Cave. Yan Ning knows this secret, what does this mean?
Gongjin frowned and said nothing. Even though he was about to leave, he did not express his feelings, and still talked with his wife with a smile.
This is the way of rest that both of them like. Whenever the hotel business is busy with one paragraph, they go to the top of the rose red, a elegant seat reserved specifically for the couple, and look at the stars and the garden of roses side by side.
Xiao Qiao told Gongjin some ancient legends about martial arts, and Gongjin talked about the myths about the stars in Bailu Cave. In such verbal communication, they understood each other's ideas and growth paths better.
Gongjin is still curious about the true face of his wife's master, but every time he talks about this topic, Xiao Qiao cleverly changes his words to his master.
Speaking about how he got started, how he taught martial arts, and how he started to perform the dark work of Bailu Cave, Gongjin originally wanted to tell Xiao Qiao how dangerous the man who was given the title of Yue Xian was by the world, but every time he was interrupted by Xiao Qiao, Gongjin talked about some past events that he had long forgotten.
When he first learned sword, his master used his strength to form images on the ice wall, and practiced it again and again tirelessly; under the moonlight at night, he told himself the master of the legend of the bayberry; before the dawn appeared, he taught himself the master of stargazing and calculation... Gongjin had never remembered these things for hundreds of years, but when he mentioned them again, the past was clear, but as clear as before his eyes.
Brother Yu, actually... you like your master very much. Although he doesn't do well in some aspects, you still respect him very much, right?
...Hmm.
If someone else said this, Gongjin would put the words behind his mind after a contemptuous smile, but because the person who spoke was Xiao Qiao, Gongjin did not forcibly deny his mood. After a brief thought, he was a little surprised and responded helplessly.
In his life, the master really gave himself a lot of things, although there are both good and bad things, his ideas and ideas are indeed established from it, and he agrees with many ideas recognized by the master, including his resentment towards the demons and his means of honing talents.
It is also because of this that even though he was abandoned and fell into this situation today, Gongjin couldn't find much hatred in his heart.
For him, the master is a very huge existence. Since he started, he has been following and looking up at him. That kind of existence... transcends hatred and joy and anger, so when he knows that he has also become a part of his cold training, he only has a trace of bitterness in his heart, no anger or hatred.
Perhaps, he is not the only personal disciple who has this feeling. Before or in the future, others will do this...
What a pity!Brother Yu’s master is my teacher. I really want to visit Lord Yuexianzhe, but he may not like to see us!
Xiao Qiao put his hand on her knees, tidied up her skirt, raised her head and sighed: Why are the demons so annoying?Even if the demons hate it, why do people with the blood of the demons bear this kind of sin?
Gongjin's expression stiffly showed a bitter smile. There was a topic about the Guiyi tribe, which was the last thing he wanted to hear now.
However... in my memory, after becoming sensible, I never seemed to like this topic.
Brother Yu, in the mythological system of Bailu Cave, all the lives on the Wind Continent will be reincarnated repeatedly, right?
It's Ah, this life is a human, the next life may be a bird on the branch, just like us, the next life may be two cats walking on the street.
Then, will the demons also be reincarnated as Ren Luo?
Looking at her husband's surprised expression, Xiao Qiao smiled and expressed her whim.
All the souls on this land appear in different forms in each life. This life is human, the next life is ghosts and barbarians, and the next life may be demons.In this way, people constantly travel between the human world and the demon world, like a constant journey. Aren’t these processes very wonderful?Whether it is the demon race or human beings, everyone is the same. We have no reason to hate the future or the past self!
Xiao Qiao patted her palms and said these thoughts seriously. Her eyes were as bright as stars because of their eager expectations, which surprised Gongjin beside her, and that thought made him even more interesting.
Somewhere in my heart, Gongjin also felt that it seemed very interesting if it was true.
In terms of appearance, Xiao Qiao is not as good as Yan Ning, but the fact that his wife can touch her mood like this may be because of her unrestrained heart that strongly attracts herself wearing a mask!
Brother Yu, I know why you always wear a mask!
Oh, what did you guess again this time?
Xiao Qiao has guessed the answer to that question no less than two thousand times in the past two and a half years, but every time Gongjin smiled and refused to answer. Xiao Qiao was not in a hurry to reveal the secret, but just repeatedly looked for possible answers.
You must be wearing a mask because you are so pretty, so you won't let so many women outside look at your handsome face.
Half of her fragrant body leaned against her husband, Xiao Qiao approached her, kissed her lips, and smiled: Every time I see you sitting at the counter, I really want to cover your face with a mask, otherwise female guests would drool at you every day, as if they wanted to swallow my husband in one bite.
Gongjin did not directly respond to this topic common to all women and made a reply with actual behavior.
Responding to Xiao Qiao's kiss, Gongjin groped on his wife's tender green short skirt with his right hand. His finger and index finger were pulled on the tether of the concentric knot, and he pulled it like a silky silky and detached it, gently removing the outermost bond of her fragrant buttocks. The buttons of the silk outer shirt were unbuttoned and slowly pulled back to his elbow, revealing the tender snow-sweet shoulders, and a light purple embroidered bra.
The light purple bra embroidered with the mandarin duck pattern outlines a purple thread on the small but plump chest, reflecting the tender and smooth skin of snow.
...My husband...not let other women swallow it...
Smiling gently, Xiao Qiao's smile finally seemed to be fragrant.
Across the hot air of this emerging city, an extremely beautiful hotel stands among the vast water and clouds.
This manor hotel called Rose Red, with a vast rose garden with a vast vestibule. On hundreds of pings of vast green lawns, blooming roses are planted. The flowers are as bright as fire and exuding a rich fragrance, which makes people first attracted by the fragrance of roses before they get close.

When you pass through the main building of the hotel and come to the back of the big house, you will see the misty hot air there rising upwards. Dozens of hot spring pools of different sizes are welcomed in different postures and appearances.
In the rose-red hall, artworks and calligraphy and paintings collected from all over the world are hung. Although the various artistic carvings are dazzling, what really makes viewers amazed are the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall beams.
Calligraphy and painting are not written by celebrities. Some landscape paintings from Wu Lian have not even been signed, but every stroke is drawn, the mountains and rivers are full of majestic style. The person who writes seems to have 100,000 soldiers in his heart, and is extraordinary; and the big white paper fan hanging at the front entrance of the hall, the four thick ink words "World Conquer" above, although it makes people confused, but a chic and arrogant style is like a black dragon, and is about to break the paper and fly out and come to his face.
It is these subtle and elegant hearts that make Rose Red free from the world and become the first resort in the northwest. However, in addition to these external advantages, there is also a vague rumor that is circulating among the business and hotels passing by, that is, the unwritten rules of this hotel. No matter what disputes or hatreds are there, you have to let go of Rose Red, because this is a peaceful place that does not allow trouble. If someone wants to destroy it with his strength, he will immediately see... The backend of this hotel is really hard.

Sitting behind the counter, Gongjin checked the numbers in the account book item by item, and made many calculations in his mind. This was the new life he gradually got used to.

With the consciousness of coming first and coming later, they should drive all the foreign tribes who came later out of the organization, because except the ghosts and beasts, other foreign tribes who had never had the same tragic years could collude with the enemy.
The Guiyi people think that their approach is absolutely correct, but in the eyes of others, they are just a group of patients with strong paranoia.
However, this group of anxious and manic patients had strong destructive power. Under the unified slogan, they strongly purged the dissidents and won the factional struggle.
As long as you are from a ghostly and barbarian, you will be right in everything you say; as long as you have no ghostly and barbarian bloodline, you will be wrong in everything you do.
An officer expelled from the coalition said helplessly when recalling all the things during that period.
In short, this purge was highly successful, but after the purge was completed, the coalition forces, which were seriously injured, were no longer able to maintain their previous momentum. In addition, after Xiao Qiao left, the Baizi family took all the assistance, and the coalition forces could no longer conquer cities and plunder land in the form of an army and maintain the defense of the occupied areas. Therefore, Yan Ning gave up the 80% of the cities currently occupied and put the remaining soldiers into a mobile team to provide supplies in the form of plunder.
The rebels, which once had millions of followers, now only have less than one hundred thousand left.
Although the numbers are unfavorable, the fanaticism during the battle is a hundred times higher than before. After the ban on plundering and massacre of cities was broken, the disaster of ghosts and barbarians became the most terrifying nightmare on the continent.
The name of the red-haired witch Tao Yanning made every Eltiero people famous. Under her leadership, the elite cavalry of 100,000 people were like a sudden swarm of locusts. Every time they went, they easily destroyed the city, eroded all the food and resources there, set fire to the buildings they saw, and after the burning, killing and robbery, they carried out a devastating massacre according to their geographical location.
Such violent tactics should theoretically not last long, but for some reason, this fierce fire burned more and more intensely in two and a half years, losing all the enemies in succession, and forcing Zhongdu half a month ago, achieving the glorious peak of the past performance of the ghosts and barbarians.
After Xiao Qiao left, before the ghosts and barbarians carried out organizational purging, some of the talented people who were self-disciplined had quietly retired. Some of them chose a similar way to Gongjin to escape the world, but some still adhered to Xiao Qiao's ideal, gathered to form an organization, and tried to stop the atrocities of the rebels in some small places.
Jiang Zhong joined such an organization, and ten days ago, they finally found out the whereabouts of Gongjin and Xiaoqiao, so Jiang Zhong was in charge of rushing to the scene, hoping to persuade Gongjin to come out and prevent the upcoming killing tragedy in Zhongdu City.
However, such news was basically in Gongjin's expectations and did not bring much shock to him, but what Jiang Zhong said next surprised Gongjin.
The walls of Zhongdu City are thick and there are sufficient preparations in the city, so it is difficult for the rebels to attack directly. However, Yan Ning instructed the rebels to dig outside the city, as if they were to dig out some earth dragons hidden deep on the nearby Yulong Mountain. With the energy explosion, it can not only easily destroy Zhongdu, but also affect the entire central part of Eltino.
(The earth dragon in Yulong Mountain...how did she know the secret there? The four earth caves are the most secrets of the Bailu Cave. Even Yan Ning, it is impossible to know the location of the cave, why...)
Surprised at what he heard, Gongjin's expression suddenly became heavy and he did not respond to what Jiang Zhong said.
The news came, Jiang Zhong kept his promise and left immediately after explaining everything he knew without stopping for a moment.
Gongjin did not try to keep him because what Jiang Zhong needed was a practical promise, not a comfortable rest for days and nights, but that was what he was most stingy about.
The ghosts are so powerful... This really makes Gongjin feel unhappy, but from Jiang Zhong's words, things seem to contain strange things. Could it be...
Whether it is the ghosts or the people in Zhongdu, they have nothing to do with me, and I have no reason to go out and drift this muddy water.
The comfortable life of these two and a half years is an unprecedented happiness in my life and should not be destroyed for any reason.
(Red-haired Witch, people call you Ah? Yaning...What are you thinking about over the years?)
Sitting alone on the bamboo and rattan chair, Gongjin pondered silently, his mind was in a mess, and he wanted to think, but he couldn't remember it.
But even he himself did not notice that at this time, a kind of speechless aura was emitting between his eyebrows, a kind of sharp aura that was unique to the generals of the commander and should not appear on the hotel owner.
The grape harvest this summer is good, and the wine market should have a good price; the lawn on the south side of the vestibule is a little yellow, so it is best to ask someone to deal with fertilization as soon as possible, and the termites in the museum, calculate these, the cost to be added this month is... Brother Yu, are you listening to me?
Xiao Qiao's anger made Gongjin come back to his senses from his thoughts. He smiled immediately, held his wife's weak and boneless little hand, adding warmth to the slightly cold palm.
Even in such a warm summer, with hot springs activate blood circulation, Xiao Qiao's hand still looks like a piece of cold and cold jade. Although it is white and tender, it lacks some healthy heat.
This is also the hidden worries that Gongjin has been in the past few years.
After leaving the battlefield and no longer using the three magical tools to fight, Xiao Qiao's body did not deteriorate rapidly, and his spirit became stronger and there was no abnormality in daily life. It seemed that the old injuries had been completely healed.
But Gongjin knew very well that this type of internal injuries would not be healed so easily by tangling the internal organs. Especially when he noticed that for a few nights in the past two and a half years, Xiao Qiao would still be immersed in the hot hot spring pool, and coughed gently and gently with the cover of smoke and flying flow.
The coughing movement was very mild and the sound was very small. It was much better than the tremor when the internal injury was the most serious.
This can be seen as a phenomenon of physical improvement, but it also symbolizes the fact that the remnant poison is not clear. Xiao Qiao's injury comes from excessive use of the three artifacts. The composition of the three artifacts involves the casting secret techniques and magic in the demon world. Several factors are complicated and affect each other, and Gongjin cannot effectively judge the physical condition of his wife.
However, since Xiao Qiao wanted to keep the secret, Gongjin pretended not to know and acted completely unaware of his wife's behavior. Only when she entered the hot spring and drove away the cold, she personally stewed a cup of chicken soup. When she got up and left, she would have such a cup of care that warmed the whole body and mind, and silently offered care.
This is the way Gongjin is used to to express himself. Although his handsome appearance often makes people mistakenly think that such a handsome man must be very good at speaking, Gongjin actually does more than what he said. No one else needs to see this. As long as Xiao Qiao cherishes it, it is enough.
Gongjin kept his wife tight-lipped and told her about the news brought by Jiang Zhong, without telling her any plans.
Xiao Qiao is a person with a soft heart and a strong emotional person. If she was allowed to know what the rebels did at this moment, Gongjin would not dare to imagine how much psychological pressure and harshness Xiao Qiao would bear, so there was no need to let her know about these things.
Gongjin hasn't made a decision yet, but he knows that he is likely to go out.
Gongjin didn’t care much about the life and death of the people of Eltino and the ghosts, because no matter which side is destroyed, he can survive safely. The reason why he had to leave was because of Yan Ning!
If Yan Ning had not taken over the burden of the leader, Xiao Qiao would not be able to leave with peace of mind. Therefore, in addition to thanking the elderly in the mountains for the past two and a half years of happy life, Yan Ning was also a hero who had made great contributions. She really felt guilty towards her. Now that things have evolved, Yan Ning wants to touch the secret of the underground cave, and she must go out to understand the situation.
The locations of the four major earth caves are located at the four corners of the Wind Continent.
Eltino is near Zhongdu, while Wu Lian is not far from Pengfenpo, and Free City is in the Albanter Mountain area, and the location of Reins Thiren is unknown.
This should be the supreme secret of Bailu Cave. Yan Ning knows this secret, what does this mean?
Gongjin frowned and said nothing. Even though he was about to leave, he did not express his feelings, and still talked with his wife with a smile.
This is the way of rest that both of them like. Whenever the hotel business is busy with one paragraph, they go to the top of the rose red, a elegant seat reserved specifically for the couple, and look at the stars and the garden of roses side by side.
Xiao Qiao told Gongjin some ancient legends about martial arts, and Gongjin talked about the myths about the stars in Bailu Cave. In such verbal communication, they understood each other's ideas and growth paths better.
Gongjin is still curious about the true face of his wife's master, but every time he talks about this topic, Xiao Qiao cleverly changes his words to his master.
Speaking about how he got started, how he taught martial arts, and how he started to perform the dark work of Bailu Cave, Gongjin originally wanted to tell Xiao Qiao how dangerous the man who was given the title of Yue Xian was by the world, but every time he was interrupted by Xiao Qiao, Gongjin talked about some past events that he had long forgotten.
When he first learned sword, his master used his strength to form images on the ice wall, and practiced it again and again tirelessly; under the moonlight at night, he told himself the master of the legend of the bayberry; before the dawn appeared, he taught himself the master of stargazing and calculation... Gongjin had never remembered these things for hundreds of years, but when he mentioned them again, the past was clear, but as clear as before his eyes.
Brother Yu, actually... you like your master very much. Although he doesn't do well in some aspects, you still respect him very much, right?
...Hmm.
If someone else said this, Gongjin would put the words behind his mind after a contemptuous smile, but because the person who spoke was Xiao Qiao, Gongjin did not forcibly deny his mood. After a brief thought, he was a little surprised and responded helplessly.
In his life, the master really gave himself a lot of things, although there are both good and bad things, his ideas and ideas are indeed established from it, and he agrees with many ideas recognized by the master, including his resentment towards the demons and his means of honing talents.
It is also because of this that even though he was abandoned and fell into this situation today, Gongjin couldn't find much hatred in his heart.
For him, the master is a very huge existence. Since he started, he has been following and looking up at him. That kind of existence... transcends hatred and joy and anger, so when he knows that he has also become a part of his cold training, he only has a trace of bitterness in his heart, no anger or hatred.
Perhaps, he is not the only personal disciple who has this feeling. Before or in the future, others will do this...
What a pity!Brother Yu’s master is my teacher. I really want to visit Lord Yuexianzhe, but he may not like to see us!
Xiao Qiao put his hand on her knees, tidied up her skirt, raised her head and sighed: Why are the demons so annoying?Even if the demons hate it, why do people with the blood of the demons bear this kind of sin?
Gongjin's expression stiffly showed a bitter smile. There was a topic about the Guiyi tribe, which was the last thing he wanted to hear now.
However... in my memory, after becoming sensible, I never seemed to like this topic.
Brother Yu, in the mythological system of Bailu Cave, all the lives on the Wind Continent will be reincarnated repeatedly, right?
It's Ah, this life is a human, the next life may be a bird on the branch, just like us, the next life may be two cats walking on the street.
Then, will the demons also be reincarnated as Ren Luo?
Looking at her husband's surprised expression, Xiao Qiao smiled and expressed her whim.
All the souls on this land appear in different forms in each life. This life is human, the next life is ghosts and barbarians, and the next life may be demons.In this way, people constantly travel between the human world and the demon world, like a constant journey. Aren’t these processes very wonderful?Whether it is the demon race or human beings, everyone is the same. We have no reason to hate the future or the past self!
Xiao Qiao patted her palms and said these thoughts seriously. Her eyes were as bright as stars because of their eager expectations, which surprised Gongjin beside her, and that thought made him even more interesting.
Somewhere in my heart, Gongjin also felt that it seemed very interesting if it was true.
In terms of appearance, Xiao Qiao is not as good as Yan Ning, but the fact that his wife can touch her mood like this may be because of her unrestrained heart that strongly attracts herself wearing a mask!
Brother Yu, I know why you always wear a mask!
Oh, what did you guess again this time?
Xiao Qiao has guessed the answer to that question no less than two thousand times in the past two and a half years, but every time Gongjin smiled and refused to answer. Xiao Qiao was not in a hurry to reveal the secret, but just repeatedly looked for possible answers.
You must be wearing a mask because you are so pretty, so you won't let so many women outside look at your handsome face.
Half of her fragrant body leaned against her husband, Xiao Qiao approached her, kissed her lips, and smiled: Every time I see you sitting at the counter, I really want to cover your face with a mask, otherwise female guests would drool at you every day, as if they wanted to swallow my husband in one bite.
Gongjin did not directly respond to this topic common to all women and made a reply with actual behavior.
Responding to Xiao Qiao's kiss, Gongjin groped on his wife's tender green short skirt with his right hand. His finger and index finger were pulled on the tether of the concentric knot, and he pulled it like a silky silky and detached it, gently removing the outermost bond of her fragrant buttocks. The buttons of the silk outer shirt were unbuttoned and slowly pulled back to his elbow, revealing the tender snow-sweet shoulders, and a light purple embroidered bra.
The light purple bra embroidered with the mandarin duck pattern outlines a purple thread on the small but plump chest, reflecting the tender and smooth skin of snow.
...My husband...not let other women swallow it...
Smiling gently, Xiao Qiao's smile finally seemed to be fragrant.
