The arrogant Eltino army retreated dejectedly, contrary to the pride of not long ago.
It is really regrettable to let the rebels escape the number one enemy. They have to be forced to withdraw their troops, which also makes them feel very humiliated. However, since the old man in the mountains showed his godly power, things have nothing to do with them, but the problem between the old man in the mountains and the sage of the moon, at least... the soldiers think so.
The future Mr. Su and Mr. Su were whispering in a low voice. The two seemed to be discussing something, as if they were swearing to take revenge and discussing ways to get back their face. This time, the old man in the mountains intervened, their great achievements were defeated, and they could not even attack Gongjin in the future. This made them very angry. However, they still have a long time to curse and plan a conspiracy, and they should be able to come up with some more solutions.
The rebels who were able to escape from death walked out of Zhongdu with their own steps, and no one dared to stop them on the road.
If everything goes well, they can return to their positions in a month, but some of their companions who entered Zhongdu with them will never be able to go back, including leaders who were once highly respected by them.
At the life and death moment when they needed support the most, they turned their backs on the girl's expectations. If they immediately turned their position after escaping, they would admit their despicableness, which they could not bear. Therefore, along the way out of Zhongdu, they still gave Xiao Qiao hostility and curses. If the old man who was not concerned about the escort team would take action, they would even throw the stones over.
When the team walked out of Zhongdu, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin left the team, and Yanning continued to lead the team.
Although they chose this approach because of being rejected, on the other hand, this is also the reason why the elderly in the mountains help them.
Thank you senior. In the past, I followed my family master. I have heard of his praise for you. I said that the sword skills of the old man in the mountains are in the world...
Nothing?No means nothing. If you don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense. I am the leader of the “Go to Die and Die Brigade”, known as Mester Yoda, but I am not an old man in the mountains. Don’t just talk about anything, otherwise I will send someone to kill your whole family at one time!
Knowing that this angry old man was unreasonable, Gongjin only found it funny. He seemed to be interested in competing with the White Army Emperor for the title of the No. terrorist of the Wind Continent. He either killed or set fire when he said it. Could this be the killer's occupational disease?
But it is undeniable that everyone in Zhongdu City, including Gongjin himself, is definitely respectful and afraid of this green monkey-like old man, otherwise they would not have had the chance to live here.
Then, I asked directly.
He spoke directly, which was not polite, but it was the other party’s favorite way of conversation. Gongjin asked directly why the other party wanted to save his life.
Save you?You made a mistake, it’s all for you to save me. I was just entrusted by the master of this girl to prevent her precious disciple from dying.
The old man in the mountain really surprised Gongjin. No matter what, he didn't think so. The master with great power behind Xiao Qiao was not only able to connect with the Baizi family, but also invited the old man in the mountain to rescue him. This face is really not simple!
However, although my original intention to come here has nothing to do with you, your little head is very suitable for my temper and I will not let you die.Well, although you and I don’t have a master-apprentice relationship, you are indeed a good material. What’s wrong with Lu You’s brain? It’s really like this to treat you like this...
When talking about the changes with the master, this was a topic that Gongjin was not happy to touch, so he quickly turned the topic and thanked his savior again.
Yan Ning... I can only ask her.She is more domineering and knows how to make decisions than me, and will be more suitable to be a leader than me.
Even though he was forced to leave the coalition, Xiao Qiao still cared about the people there.
In the process of governing the coalition, she always knew her shortcomings, but she was unable to change. Yan Ning had advantages that she could not achieve. If Yan Ning was commanded by the coalition, she would definitely be better than when she was in power.
This is Xiao Qiao's idea, but Gongjin dared not agree, because she knows Yan Ning better than Xiao Qiao. Although she is more domineering than Xiao Qiao and has a ruthless ruling, she is not a leader.
Yan Ning's vision, mind, and planning ability cannot successfully control a huge organization of hundreds of thousands of people. If she takes over the coalition leader in the future, the consequences will be quite worrying.
Having said that, Gongjin did not remind Xiao Qiao.He didn't want her to worry too much about this, and now there is nothing more important than saving her life.
However, although life was preserved, Gongjin and Xiao Qiao's future was also confused since then, because the promise of the old man in the mountains to announce the world, the condition for safety of them was that they would never ask about the world from now on.
Gongjin is a man with strong will, and Xiao Qiao has never been a obedient woman. No matter from any perspective, they will not succumb to the arrangements of the old man in the mountains, nor will they accept Master Xiao Qiao's kindness. However, in reality, they are indeed taboos in the world now. No matter which camp they are, they regard them as mortal enemies. As for Xiao Qiao's few relatives and friends, in order to avoid implicating them, Xiao Qiao cannot even go to join him.
So...whether to go in the future?
It doesn’t matter, the world is so big that there will always be a place to go.
Gongjin comforted Xiao Qiao so much. He had already tasted similar feelings a few days ago. Now he has just changed from one escapee to two, with the number increasing, but the situation has not changed at all.
Gongjin did not act separately from Xiao Qiao. After a series of life and death hardships, both of them had an unspeakable understanding, that is, their future should have a large overlap, and now they have to work together to find the future.
Both sides were confused about their future for a moment. In fact, they didn't have much time to think about it. The serious injuries on each other had reached the point where they had to be treated. So after they changed their clothes slightly, they rode a carriage heading northwest under the pseudonym and prepared to go to the Hague in the northwest to take a look.
However, the lives of this couple always seem to be full of misconceptions.
Because both parties were seriously injured, they were not very conscious during the healing process. The person who was supposed to be responsible for the warning was also exhausted and fainted. In this case, it was incredible that the two of them could be safe all the way, but there would inevitably be errors at the end of the trip.
When Xiao Qiao and Gongjin finally woke up in the carriage, the carriage had reached the end of the final stop. It was a desolate town called Urumqi. There were only dozens of people in the town. They were either dying of illness or dying of old age. They could not see half a young man and half a new house. It is said that there was a brief prosperity due to mining a hundred years ago, but with the poverty of minerals, it is now a dead town. Apart from the passengers who got lost, they had only pioneers who wanted to continue to expand the wasteland west and pass through the place.
The place is desolate, but the scenery is majestic and magnificent. The mountains surrounding it are full of huge rocks. The standard limestone terrain allows verdant plants to grow to the middle of the mountain. The bare rocky top is reflected in the sunset, which is very beautiful.
Urumqi... What a strange place, Brother Yu, how could we come here?
Flying to the great wilderness, Xiao Qiao's mood seemed not affected by desolation, and asked Gongjin with great interest. Perhaps because of this, a smile appeared on Gongjin's face and answered simply in a simple manner without any pleasure.
It’s not clear that coma is the main cause, but... you can also say it’s fate.
Fate is undoubtedly a good explanation. For the two people who are trying to learn to accept their fate, this deserted town is still a good place to settle down, because it is too far from central Eltierno, and even to the nearest civilized area, it has to cross several mountains; what is happening to Eltierno is now, and for the elderly in this small town, it is as far away as another world, and they don’t care why the men and women came here.
Since they decided to stay, the two of them had to find a place to live. Gongjin wanted to take on the responsibility of a man at first and set up a wooden house.
Helplessly, although Gongjin was proud of his high martial arts skills and his literary talent and wisdom, Bailudong never taught him the ability to work as a carpenter. As a result, when the pile of wood that had finally been pieced together turned into a waste wood in the banging sound, Gongjin scratched his head in annoyed manner, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Xiao Qiao is not much better. Since Gongjin is responsible for building the house, she wants to try washing her hands and making soup.
Because she didn't want to kill animals casually, after borrowing the pot, she collected wild vegetables from the surrounding mountains, hoping to cook a pot of wild vegetable soup to satisfy her hunger.
There should be no problem with the taste, but when Xiao Qiao wanted to come back to taste the taste, a hare that happened to run by, inhaled the gas evaporated from the soup, fainted on the ground, paralyzed and unable to move.
Why does wild vegetable soup have such unexpected effects?
Xiao Qiao really couldn't say it, so she could only explain it reluctantly. Perhaps the plants here are different from Wulian. Seventeen or eighteen kinds were cooked together, and there was an incomprehensible chemical effect... God knows why, she had never cooked herself before.
As a result, when Gongjin came back with an apology expression, Xiao Qiao, who also showed a guilty look, gave him half of the roasted rabbit; Gongjin, who was considerate and considerate, did not ask why Xiao Qiao made an exception, but just ate the half of the slightly odorous rabbit.
This is the first meal for the two of them to embark on a new life.
But the first night after the meal was not easy. The two people who were originally going to sleep in the wild encountered a thunderstorm that once a year on average, so they could only run back to the town in a panic. When Xiao Qiao was paying back the pot, a kind-hearted old man took in this young man and woman like a chicken.
The old man's house was very dilapidated. The guest room used as a warehouse had only a small wooden bed. The two wet people could only hug each other and spend the night on that bed.
The next day, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin re-entered their actions of familiarizing themselves with the environment.
Gongjin continued to cut down trees and build houses, and accidentally found bear footprints in the mountains and forests; Xiao Qiao helped the illiterate old people in the town read the novel, so he changed to some vegetables and meat.
Smart people learn everything quickly. On the evening of the second day after they arrived here, the two built their own house and cooked dinners to celebrate the completion in the house.
When Xiao Qiao hesitated about which room she should sleep in after dinner, Gongjin clumsyly held her hand and made a request for engagement to her in a hesitant tone.
Well...good Ah, I'm willing.
Without thinking for too long, Xiao Qiao just answered Gongjin like this. Although the matter came a little suddenly, she felt that she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
In this way, two new men and women who settled in Urumqi decided to conclude their lives here.
This was really big news for the long-silent town. The old people sent their congratulations, which was really lively, but compared to the status and popularity that the couple once had, the wedding was still too shabby.
The girl who became a bride, didn't even have a decent dress, just wearing her dusty green dress, holding a bouquet of clean flowers in her hands, and standing there with a smile, welcoming the man who would become her husband.
Xiao Qiao, do you... feel very regretful?
Knowing that his wife would not be greedy for vanity and luxury, Gongjin still asked so quietly that since he became a husband, he felt that he should take responsibility, and he felt guilty about completing major events in his life in such a shabby and simple way.
Not Ah!In the so-called wedding, isn’t it enough as long as there are men and women who sincerely spend the second half of their lives and guests who sincerely bless them?External form is not important, and... I don't really like that even my wedding is noticed by a bunch of people.
Xiao Qiao could not hear any unhappiness in her tone, but she didn't even expect that it seemed like a very difficult thing to avoid being noticed at her wedding.
A wedding dress with exquisite tailoring and elegant design was delivered before Xiao Qiao and Gongjin were about to give it a gift.
Although the person who sent him deliberately hid his identity, Gongjin stared at the black gauze dress and was stunned. He never knew in the past that at a good wedding banquet, there was a girl who would wear all black outfits to the auditorium, and even the jewelry was black jade and black pearls.
Gongjin even thought it was a curse of some kind, but the bride held up the wedding dress in surprise and joy, gently swaying in precious and heavy land, as if she had received a priceless treasure.
When Gongjin saw tears in Xiao Qiao's eyes, he knew that this dress must have some allusions.
This is... the dress that the master prepared before was the dowry prepared by her family for her... When I was a child, she often opened these dowries and looked at them all night... I asked her for this black pearl ring many times, but she refused to give it to me, but now she...
Seeing Xiao Qiao crying, Gongjin felt that he didn't need to ask more questions. This was indeed a rare gift.
The gift is not only for the bride, but also for the groom. The express delivery from Daxueshan gave a brand new white dress to Gongjin.
Gongjin found it incredible that the old man in the mountains would care about his wedding, but he could not deny that the full suit imitating the marshal's dress contrasted with Xiao Qiao's dress, one black and one white, and he looked very beautiful when standing in front of the auditorium.
A wedding is a big event in a lifetime. As long as Xiao Qiao can show her happy face, not to mention this restrained military uniform, even Gongjin is willing to wear it in a clown suit because he thinks it is his responsibility.
When Gongjin stood in front of the auditorium and watched Xiao Qiao appear, he suddenly felt a sense of surprise.
The dark black lace wedding dress sets off the bride's ice-skinned skin, and the small and delicate breasts under the lower neckline are faintly visible, as white as if they were just beginning to fall; the right shoulder of the top is covered with a black lace band, which is diagonally drawn across the chest, drooping to the slender waist that is not enough, and then spreads along the split black tulle skirt to the sides; in the forked tulle skirt, there is a pair of knee-length black half-trousers, tightly wrapping around the small, round buttocks and slender legs, making Xiao Qiao look taller than her actual body.
Gongjin didn't know how long he had been, but it was not until Xiao Qiao came to him with the bouquet and pushed him gently that he truly woke up and bowed to Xiao Qiao under the guidance of people.
During the whole process, Gongjin was very quiet and didn't say much.
He had never believed that marriage would happen to him for a few months, but this incident came true from imagination, but he vowed to fulfill his responsibilities and never let the girl be hurt by him.
It is precisely because Gongjin's will to protect him is so strong that although he closed his lips tightly and did not say a word, Xiao Qiao still noticed his mood from his extremely stiff movements and laughed. This man who has always guarded him is not like the perfect husband in the dream of ordinary girls, but like a hunting dog with a strong sense of mission.
The two got married very smoothly. The guests who participated in the wedding were all residents of the town. No other outsiders attended the wedding, and no one came to disturb the wedding. Even if there were, they were all destroyed and turned into smoke and dust when they were close to Urumqi.
The couple was not too slow to know nothing about it, so despite not seeing familiar faces in the guest group, they still felt as if they were surrounded by relatives, friends and elders, concluding their lives in silent blessings.
After the two of them finished their wedding, they still kept delivering gifts.
Since I guessed that these two people might reject substantial gifts such as gold, silver and jewelry, the gifts they sent were all quite strange things.
Porcelain bowls and plates that ensure durability and drop resistance, handwritten notes that ensure cooking in the shortest time, and sexy pajamas that ensure happiness and harmony in marriage... When Xiao Qiao opened the box and saw the sexy nightgown with hollowed-out fabric, she felt that her face had never been so red.
The gift was not only for the bride. Gongjin also received an inexplicable gift. The most strange and unique one was a gift obviously from Wu Lian, a thin cover made of some kind of biological membrane, and an instruction manual was attached next to it, ensuring that if the method was followed, the newlyweds would never be disturbed by the unexpected child.
In order to show thoughtfulness, the party who gave the gift also gave another bottle of ointment in addition to this gift. The instructions explain that this can of ointment has received blessings and arrangements from the witch doctor. When both men and women want children, they are absolutely sure to win a life.
Holding the film in his left hand and the ointment in his right hand, Gongjin felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. He was almost spurting hot steam in his mind, so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.
However, judging from Xiao Qiao's eyes, Gongjin's expression at this time was simply a fierce look.
If he didn't care about him, this man who seemed to be smart in everything might have to stay there like a big and stupid cow, wasting a good night. So Xiao Qiao had to sigh and ask her husband to put down the two things in his hand and return to the small house with him with the red note.
The wedding chamber is warm and the night is rich. On this night, they have each other. Although they still don’t know where to go, the entangled hands give them confidence that no matter what they are going to face, they must go hand in hand.
When the night came to an end, Gongjin hugged Xiao Qiao, feeling the body temperature of his newlywed wife, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling and warmth. It was something he had never had since his birth. Just as he wanted to say a few words to his wife seriously, a strange noise came from outside the door, and the last batch of gifts were sent before dawn.
Gongjin went to the door to take the things, took them to the bed, and took them away with his little wife who covered her naked body with a sheet.
In that envelope, there were two reception vouchers, both of which were made of gold, with silver threads passing through the characters, and the content was extremely precious. As for the reception vouchers, the content was plain, just two very ordinary hot spring reception vouchers.
The name is not written on the envelope. This is a common feature of all gift givers. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they keep it confidential. However, from the shallow four-character mark of the world conquest on the envelope, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin both understood who gave this gift.
The White Army Emperor also sent things, and I don’t know what mysterious these two reception vouchers were.
Don't be too careful...
Xiao Qiao smiled and took the reception voucher, curiously trying to see the content of the reception voucher, but after reading the text on it, her expression also began to be strange.
Although there is no clear address here to refer to, the place described on the ticket seems to be only half a mile away.
Xiao Qiao, do you think... this place will be very close to us?
It is indeed very close, but... there is no hot spring within a hundred miles!
Xiao Qiao's memory is correct. Within a radius of hundreds of miles in Urumqi, not to mention there are no hot springs, there are not even half a volcano.
There are several conditions for forming hot springs, and none of them meet the requirements here. The location mentioned in the reception voucher should be just barren mountains and dense forests, and there is no possibility of other things appearing.
But both of the couple thought that the Baizi Family was a vicious force that specifically turned the impossible into possible, so when they stood in front of the newly opened luxury hot spring in the pool, they were not surprised when they watched the steam rushing upwards. Instead, they felt that Ah, they did it.
The marble steps and the bottom of the pool carved from a whole piece of big white jade are decorated with pebbles, colorful crystals, and jadeite, and beautiful patterns are made up of one after another. They are historical poems or stories of gods and monsters. They all have elegant allusions. In the eyes of Gongjin and Xiao Qiao, each hot spring pool is a supreme treasure.
There are more than one hot spring pool, and the water temperature of each pool is different, including hot and warm, and cold springs that are so cold that it makes people freeze. In addition, some pools have different petals, and the fragrance of flowers steams out a rich fragrance in the hot water; some pools have the fragrance of wine, and a few of them have the smell of herbs.
The Bai family has great supernatural powers. No wonder they can see Bailu Cave as a thorn in the eyes for more than a thousand years. If it weren't for the repeated suppression of Lu You, the Bai family might have dominated the Feng Continent long ago.
Looking at the luxurious hot springs in front of her, Gongjin felt this way. However, Xiao Qiao's feeling seemed much easier than him. This beautiful girl with a newly married woman really knows how to enjoy life better than her husband.
With a loud bang, when Gongjin woke up from his thoughts, Xiao Qiao had already jumped into a hot spring with rose petals. The girl's body, wearing only her body underwear, was floating and sinking in the pool water, causing waves, like a light and flexible mermaid, shuttled between the blue and spring water.
Gongjin's heart was filled with happiness when he watched this scene, his wife's active beauty full of vitality, and the pleasant laughter that put aside the annoyance always made him feel that it was great to live.
Brother Yu!
Although she was married, Xiao Qiao did not change her name for her husband, and Gongjin had no intention of correcting this, so she asked her wife to call her according to this name.
I just had an idea!
Pointing his head out of the hot spring pool, his long black and delicate hair was covered with water on his smooth naked back. Xiao Qiao called her husband as if she was very happy and discussed with him what he had just come up with.
...I always feel that no matter what we plan, things always seem to be miscalculated and become what we expect.If that's the case, should we play bigger this time and see what the result will be?
Gongjin did not object.At this moment, he would agree to all his wife's request.
For many people, Urumqi, located in the deserted mountains in the northwest of Eltino, is a legendary place.
Two and a half years ago, it was a famous barren place, the end of land transportation in the entire northwest. Even if the carriages and business travelers arrived here, no one would have any deep memories of this small town that had been covered with yellow sand for many years.
The magnificent rocks, flying yellow sand, green pines, and dilapidated and ancient buildings are what people think of Urumqi.
However, when people come to this town again after two and a half years, their first move must be to rub their eyes first, and they can't believe what they see.
Walking out of the brand new carriage station, on both sides of the neat and clean spacious avenue, there are tall pine and cypress planted, swaying to the people who are coming to this town, washing the spiritual dust of travelers with greenery; red bricks are laid on the streets where people come and go, and on both sides are different shops and restaurants. While selling a variety of goods, they also provide food from various countries for the business trips visiting this place.
The aroma of grilled venison, the unique spicy of curry lamb brain, and the aroma of roasted beef sausage skewers spread on the noon streets of Urumqi. Restaurants with different flavors and dishes also provide various privately brewed fine wines. In combination with their own cuisine, every pedestrian passing by salivates and even the stomach bags are twitching.
Not only are the restaurants so diverse, but the shops on the street are also dazzling.
Mainly fur merchants and wine merchants, Urumqi sells the most lush and bright fur, as well as the rich and intoxicating grape wine. These two products are well-known far and wide, allowing groups of merchants to come from thousands of miles away to purchase, and the price difference is several times.
The endless fleet of horse and carriages brought about a group of rich and wealthy merchants. In addition to purchasing a large amount of money, they also sold products from other places here, indirectly revitalizing the prosperity of Urumqi. Even fresh agricultural products that should not appear here are sold in the store with the sign of affordable sales.
After walking through the academies, money houses, yamen, temples, and art galleries in the town, these are enough symbols of civilization and prosperity. The old people who have been to Urumqi are surprised and do not understand why the desolate town has changed so much; and the new people who have never been to this place will be even more surprised. They cannot guess how the desolate land in the northwest can build such a highly prosperous and beautiful city.
This question is easily answered. The halls in the restaurant, the students in the academy, the shopkeepers in the money shop, and even everyone in the city are happy to tell the new travelers that 90% of the land in Urumqi belongs to a couple surnamed Zhou. Except for temples and yamen, every tangible asset in this city is in their name. In fact, if the collateral for the loan is taken into consideration, even the land in the temples and yamen belongs to them.
The couple came to Urumqi two and a half years ago. With the correct vision and meticulous execution, they quickly gave the town a new life, developed and created miracles.
Today, instead of living in the town, the couple moved to a hot spring hotel half a mile outside the town, where they operate a high-quality hotel in the northwest.
It’s really unimaginable that Lord Gongjin actually…but it seems that I was not wrong.
A newly arrived traveler in Urumqi nodded with emotion after asking about the hotel location of Zhou and his wife, and then disappeared into the crowd.
It is really regrettable to let the rebels escape the number one enemy. They have to be forced to withdraw their troops, which also makes them feel very humiliated. However, since the old man in the mountains showed his godly power, things have nothing to do with them, but the problem between the old man in the mountains and the sage of the moon, at least... the soldiers think so.
The future Mr. Su and Mr. Su were whispering in a low voice. The two seemed to be discussing something, as if they were swearing to take revenge and discussing ways to get back their face. This time, the old man in the mountains intervened, their great achievements were defeated, and they could not even attack Gongjin in the future. This made them very angry. However, they still have a long time to curse and plan a conspiracy, and they should be able to come up with some more solutions.
The rebels who were able to escape from death walked out of Zhongdu with their own steps, and no one dared to stop them on the road.
If everything goes well, they can return to their positions in a month, but some of their companions who entered Zhongdu with them will never be able to go back, including leaders who were once highly respected by them.
At the life and death moment when they needed support the most, they turned their backs on the girl's expectations. If they immediately turned their position after escaping, they would admit their despicableness, which they could not bear. Therefore, along the way out of Zhongdu, they still gave Xiao Qiao hostility and curses. If the old man who was not concerned about the escort team would take action, they would even throw the stones over.
When the team walked out of Zhongdu, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin left the team, and Yanning continued to lead the team.
Although they chose this approach because of being rejected, on the other hand, this is also the reason why the elderly in the mountains help them.
Thank you senior. In the past, I followed my family master. I have heard of his praise for you. I said that the sword skills of the old man in the mountains are in the world...
Nothing?No means nothing. If you don’t have it, don’t talk nonsense. I am the leader of the “Go to Die and Die Brigade”, known as Mester Yoda, but I am not an old man in the mountains. Don’t just talk about anything, otherwise I will send someone to kill your whole family at one time!
Knowing that this angry old man was unreasonable, Gongjin only found it funny. He seemed to be interested in competing with the White Army Emperor for the title of the No. terrorist of the Wind Continent. He either killed or set fire when he said it. Could this be the killer's occupational disease?
But it is undeniable that everyone in Zhongdu City, including Gongjin himself, is definitely respectful and afraid of this green monkey-like old man, otherwise they would not have had the chance to live here.
Then, I asked directly.
He spoke directly, which was not polite, but it was the other party’s favorite way of conversation. Gongjin asked directly why the other party wanted to save his life.
Save you?You made a mistake, it’s all for you to save me. I was just entrusted by the master of this girl to prevent her precious disciple from dying.
The old man in the mountain really surprised Gongjin. No matter what, he didn't think so. The master with great power behind Xiao Qiao was not only able to connect with the Baizi family, but also invited the old man in the mountain to rescue him. This face is really not simple!
However, although my original intention to come here has nothing to do with you, your little head is very suitable for my temper and I will not let you die.Well, although you and I don’t have a master-apprentice relationship, you are indeed a good material. What’s wrong with Lu You’s brain? It’s really like this to treat you like this...
When talking about the changes with the master, this was a topic that Gongjin was not happy to touch, so he quickly turned the topic and thanked his savior again.
Yan Ning... I can only ask her.She is more domineering and knows how to make decisions than me, and will be more suitable to be a leader than me.
Even though he was forced to leave the coalition, Xiao Qiao still cared about the people there.
In the process of governing the coalition, she always knew her shortcomings, but she was unable to change. Yan Ning had advantages that she could not achieve. If Yan Ning was commanded by the coalition, she would definitely be better than when she was in power.
This is Xiao Qiao's idea, but Gongjin dared not agree, because she knows Yan Ning better than Xiao Qiao. Although she is more domineering than Xiao Qiao and has a ruthless ruling, she is not a leader.
Yan Ning's vision, mind, and planning ability cannot successfully control a huge organization of hundreds of thousands of people. If she takes over the coalition leader in the future, the consequences will be quite worrying.

However, although life was preserved, Gongjin and Xiao Qiao's future was also confused since then, because the promise of the old man in the mountains to announce the world, the condition for safety of them was that they would never ask about the world from now on.
Gongjin is a man with strong will, and Xiao Qiao has never been a obedient woman. No matter from any perspective, they will not succumb to the arrangements of the old man in the mountains, nor will they accept Master Xiao Qiao's kindness. However, in reality, they are indeed taboos in the world now. No matter which camp they are, they regard them as mortal enemies. As for Xiao Qiao's few relatives and friends, in order to avoid implicating them, Xiao Qiao cannot even go to join him.
So...whether to go in the future?
It doesn’t matter, the world is so big that there will always be a place to go.
Gongjin comforted Xiao Qiao so much. He had already tasted similar feelings a few days ago. Now he has just changed from one escapee to two, with the number increasing, but the situation has not changed at all.
Gongjin did not act separately from Xiao Qiao. After a series of life and death hardships, both of them had an unspeakable understanding, that is, their future should have a large overlap, and now they have to work together to find the future.

When Xiao Qiao and Gongjin finally woke up in the carriage, the carriage had reached the end of the final stop. It was a desolate town called Urumqi. There were only dozens of people in the town. They were either dying of illness or dying of old age. They could not see half a young man and half a new house. It is said that there was a brief prosperity due to mining a hundred years ago, but with the poverty of minerals, it is now a dead town. Apart from the passengers who got lost, they had only pioneers who wanted to continue to expand the wasteland west and pass through the place.
The place is desolate, but the scenery is majestic and magnificent. The mountains surrounding it are full of huge rocks. The standard limestone terrain allows verdant plants to grow to the middle of the mountain. The bare rocky top is reflected in the sunset, which is very beautiful.
Urumqi... What a strange place, Brother Yu, how could we come here?
Flying to the great wilderness, Xiao Qiao's mood seemed not affected by desolation, and asked Gongjin with great interest. Perhaps because of this, a smile appeared on Gongjin's face and answered simply in a simple manner without any pleasure.
It’s not clear that coma is the main cause, but... you can also say it’s fate.
Fate is undoubtedly a good explanation. For the two people who are trying to learn to accept their fate, this deserted town is still a good place to settle down, because it is too far from central Eltierno, and even to the nearest civilized area, it has to cross several mountains; what is happening to Eltierno is now, and for the elderly in this small town, it is as far away as another world, and they don’t care why the men and women came here.
Since they decided to stay, the two of them had to find a place to live. Gongjin wanted to take on the responsibility of a man at first and set up a wooden house.
Helplessly, although Gongjin was proud of his high martial arts skills and his literary talent and wisdom, Bailudong never taught him the ability to work as a carpenter. As a result, when the pile of wood that had finally been pieced together turned into a waste wood in the banging sound, Gongjin scratched his head in annoyed manner, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Xiao Qiao is not much better. Since Gongjin is responsible for building the house, she wants to try washing her hands and making soup.
Because she didn't want to kill animals casually, after borrowing the pot, she collected wild vegetables from the surrounding mountains, hoping to cook a pot of wild vegetable soup to satisfy her hunger.
There should be no problem with the taste, but when Xiao Qiao wanted to come back to taste the taste, a hare that happened to run by, inhaled the gas evaporated from the soup, fainted on the ground, paralyzed and unable to move.
Why does wild vegetable soup have such unexpected effects?
Xiao Qiao really couldn't say it, so she could only explain it reluctantly. Perhaps the plants here are different from Wulian. Seventeen or eighteen kinds were cooked together, and there was an incomprehensible chemical effect... God knows why, she had never cooked herself before.
As a result, when Gongjin came back with an apology expression, Xiao Qiao, who also showed a guilty look, gave him half of the roasted rabbit; Gongjin, who was considerate and considerate, did not ask why Xiao Qiao made an exception, but just ate the half of the slightly odorous rabbit.
This is the first meal for the two of them to embark on a new life.
But the first night after the meal was not easy. The two people who were originally going to sleep in the wild encountered a thunderstorm that once a year on average, so they could only run back to the town in a panic. When Xiao Qiao was paying back the pot, a kind-hearted old man took in this young man and woman like a chicken.
The old man's house was very dilapidated. The guest room used as a warehouse had only a small wooden bed. The two wet people could only hug each other and spend the night on that bed.
The next day, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin re-entered their actions of familiarizing themselves with the environment.
Gongjin continued to cut down trees and build houses, and accidentally found bear footprints in the mountains and forests; Xiao Qiao helped the illiterate old people in the town read the novel, so he changed to some vegetables and meat.
Smart people learn everything quickly. On the evening of the second day after they arrived here, the two built their own house and cooked dinners to celebrate the completion in the house.
When Xiao Qiao hesitated about which room she should sleep in after dinner, Gongjin clumsyly held her hand and made a request for engagement to her in a hesitant tone.
Well...good Ah, I'm willing.
Without thinking for too long, Xiao Qiao just answered Gongjin like this. Although the matter came a little suddenly, she felt that she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
In this way, two new men and women who settled in Urumqi decided to conclude their lives here.
This was really big news for the long-silent town. The old people sent their congratulations, which was really lively, but compared to the status and popularity that the couple once had, the wedding was still too shabby.
The girl who became a bride, didn't even have a decent dress, just wearing her dusty green dress, holding a bouquet of clean flowers in her hands, and standing there with a smile, welcoming the man who would become her husband.
Xiao Qiao, do you... feel very regretful?
Knowing that his wife would not be greedy for vanity and luxury, Gongjin still asked so quietly that since he became a husband, he felt that he should take responsibility, and he felt guilty about completing major events in his life in such a shabby and simple way.
Not Ah!In the so-called wedding, isn’t it enough as long as there are men and women who sincerely spend the second half of their lives and guests who sincerely bless them?External form is not important, and... I don't really like that even my wedding is noticed by a bunch of people.
Xiao Qiao could not hear any unhappiness in her tone, but she didn't even expect that it seemed like a very difficult thing to avoid being noticed at her wedding.
A wedding dress with exquisite tailoring and elegant design was delivered before Xiao Qiao and Gongjin were about to give it a gift.
Although the person who sent him deliberately hid his identity, Gongjin stared at the black gauze dress and was stunned. He never knew in the past that at a good wedding banquet, there was a girl who would wear all black outfits to the auditorium, and even the jewelry was black jade and black pearls.
Gongjin even thought it was a curse of some kind, but the bride held up the wedding dress in surprise and joy, gently swaying in precious and heavy land, as if she had received a priceless treasure.
When Gongjin saw tears in Xiao Qiao's eyes, he knew that this dress must have some allusions.
This is... the dress that the master prepared before was the dowry prepared by her family for her... When I was a child, she often opened these dowries and looked at them all night... I asked her for this black pearl ring many times, but she refused to give it to me, but now she...
Seeing Xiao Qiao crying, Gongjin felt that he didn't need to ask more questions. This was indeed a rare gift.
The gift is not only for the bride, but also for the groom. The express delivery from Daxueshan gave a brand new white dress to Gongjin.
Gongjin found it incredible that the old man in the mountains would care about his wedding, but he could not deny that the full suit imitating the marshal's dress contrasted with Xiao Qiao's dress, one black and one white, and he looked very beautiful when standing in front of the auditorium.
A wedding is a big event in a lifetime. As long as Xiao Qiao can show her happy face, not to mention this restrained military uniform, even Gongjin is willing to wear it in a clown suit because he thinks it is his responsibility.
When Gongjin stood in front of the auditorium and watched Xiao Qiao appear, he suddenly felt a sense of surprise.
The dark black lace wedding dress sets off the bride's ice-skinned skin, and the small and delicate breasts under the lower neckline are faintly visible, as white as if they were just beginning to fall; the right shoulder of the top is covered with a black lace band, which is diagonally drawn across the chest, drooping to the slender waist that is not enough, and then spreads along the split black tulle skirt to the sides; in the forked tulle skirt, there is a pair of knee-length black half-trousers, tightly wrapping around the small, round buttocks and slender legs, making Xiao Qiao look taller than her actual body.
Gongjin didn't know how long he had been, but it was not until Xiao Qiao came to him with the bouquet and pushed him gently that he truly woke up and bowed to Xiao Qiao under the guidance of people.
During the whole process, Gongjin was very quiet and didn't say much.
He had never believed that marriage would happen to him for a few months, but this incident came true from imagination, but he vowed to fulfill his responsibilities and never let the girl be hurt by him.
It is precisely because Gongjin's will to protect him is so strong that although he closed his lips tightly and did not say a word, Xiao Qiao still noticed his mood from his extremely stiff movements and laughed. This man who has always guarded him is not like the perfect husband in the dream of ordinary girls, but like a hunting dog with a strong sense of mission.
The two got married very smoothly. The guests who participated in the wedding were all residents of the town. No other outsiders attended the wedding, and no one came to disturb the wedding. Even if there were, they were all destroyed and turned into smoke and dust when they were close to Urumqi.
The couple was not too slow to know nothing about it, so despite not seeing familiar faces in the guest group, they still felt as if they were surrounded by relatives, friends and elders, concluding their lives in silent blessings.
After the two of them finished their wedding, they still kept delivering gifts.
Since I guessed that these two people might reject substantial gifts such as gold, silver and jewelry, the gifts they sent were all quite strange things.
Porcelain bowls and plates that ensure durability and drop resistance, handwritten notes that ensure cooking in the shortest time, and sexy pajamas that ensure happiness and harmony in marriage... When Xiao Qiao opened the box and saw the sexy nightgown with hollowed-out fabric, she felt that her face had never been so red.
The gift was not only for the bride. Gongjin also received an inexplicable gift. The most strange and unique one was a gift obviously from Wu Lian, a thin cover made of some kind of biological membrane, and an instruction manual was attached next to it, ensuring that if the method was followed, the newlyweds would never be disturbed by the unexpected child.
In order to show thoughtfulness, the party who gave the gift also gave another bottle of ointment in addition to this gift. The instructions explain that this can of ointment has received blessings and arrangements from the witch doctor. When both men and women want children, they are absolutely sure to win a life.
Holding the film in his left hand and the ointment in his right hand, Gongjin felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. He was almost spurting hot steam in his mind, so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.
However, judging from Xiao Qiao's eyes, Gongjin's expression at this time was simply a fierce look.
If he didn't care about him, this man who seemed to be smart in everything might have to stay there like a big and stupid cow, wasting a good night. So Xiao Qiao had to sigh and ask her husband to put down the two things in his hand and return to the small house with him with the red note.
The wedding chamber is warm and the night is rich. On this night, they have each other. Although they still don’t know where to go, the entangled hands give them confidence that no matter what they are going to face, they must go hand in hand.
When the night came to an end, Gongjin hugged Xiao Qiao, feeling the body temperature of his newlywed wife, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable feeling and warmth. It was something he had never had since his birth. Just as he wanted to say a few words to his wife seriously, a strange noise came from outside the door, and the last batch of gifts were sent before dawn.
Gongjin went to the door to take the things, took them to the bed, and took them away with his little wife who covered her naked body with a sheet.
In that envelope, there were two reception vouchers, both of which were made of gold, with silver threads passing through the characters, and the content was extremely precious. As for the reception vouchers, the content was plain, just two very ordinary hot spring reception vouchers.
The name is not written on the envelope. This is a common feature of all gift givers. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they keep it confidential. However, from the shallow four-character mark of the world conquest on the envelope, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin both understood who gave this gift.
The White Army Emperor also sent things, and I don’t know what mysterious these two reception vouchers were.
Don't be too careful...
Xiao Qiao smiled and took the reception voucher, curiously trying to see the content of the reception voucher, but after reading the text on it, her expression also began to be strange.
Although there is no clear address here to refer to, the place described on the ticket seems to be only half a mile away.
Xiao Qiao, do you think... this place will be very close to us?
It is indeed very close, but... there is no hot spring within a hundred miles!
Xiao Qiao's memory is correct. Within a radius of hundreds of miles in Urumqi, not to mention there are no hot springs, there are not even half a volcano.
There are several conditions for forming hot springs, and none of them meet the requirements here. The location mentioned in the reception voucher should be just barren mountains and dense forests, and there is no possibility of other things appearing.
But both of the couple thought that the Baizi Family was a vicious force that specifically turned the impossible into possible, so when they stood in front of the newly opened luxury hot spring in the pool, they were not surprised when they watched the steam rushing upwards. Instead, they felt that Ah, they did it.
The marble steps and the bottom of the pool carved from a whole piece of big white jade are decorated with pebbles, colorful crystals, and jadeite, and beautiful patterns are made up of one after another. They are historical poems or stories of gods and monsters. They all have elegant allusions. In the eyes of Gongjin and Xiao Qiao, each hot spring pool is a supreme treasure.
There are more than one hot spring pool, and the water temperature of each pool is different, including hot and warm, and cold springs that are so cold that it makes people freeze. In addition, some pools have different petals, and the fragrance of flowers steams out a rich fragrance in the hot water; some pools have the fragrance of wine, and a few of them have the smell of herbs.
The Bai family has great supernatural powers. No wonder they can see Bailu Cave as a thorn in the eyes for more than a thousand years. If it weren't for the repeated suppression of Lu You, the Bai family might have dominated the Feng Continent long ago.
Looking at the luxurious hot springs in front of her, Gongjin felt this way. However, Xiao Qiao's feeling seemed much easier than him. This beautiful girl with a newly married woman really knows how to enjoy life better than her husband.
With a loud bang, when Gongjin woke up from his thoughts, Xiao Qiao had already jumped into a hot spring with rose petals. The girl's body, wearing only her body underwear, was floating and sinking in the pool water, causing waves, like a light and flexible mermaid, shuttled between the blue and spring water.
Gongjin's heart was filled with happiness when he watched this scene, his wife's active beauty full of vitality, and the pleasant laughter that put aside the annoyance always made him feel that it was great to live.
Brother Yu!
Although she was married, Xiao Qiao did not change her name for her husband, and Gongjin had no intention of correcting this, so she asked her wife to call her according to this name.
I just had an idea!
Pointing his head out of the hot spring pool, his long black and delicate hair was covered with water on his smooth naked back. Xiao Qiao called her husband as if she was very happy and discussed with him what he had just come up with.
...I always feel that no matter what we plan, things always seem to be miscalculated and become what we expect.If that's the case, should we play bigger this time and see what the result will be?
Gongjin did not object.At this moment, he would agree to all his wife's request.
For many people, Urumqi, located in the deserted mountains in the northwest of Eltino, is a legendary place.
Two and a half years ago, it was a famous barren place, the end of land transportation in the entire northwest. Even if the carriages and business travelers arrived here, no one would have any deep memories of this small town that had been covered with yellow sand for many years.
The magnificent rocks, flying yellow sand, green pines, and dilapidated and ancient buildings are what people think of Urumqi.
However, when people come to this town again after two and a half years, their first move must be to rub their eyes first, and they can't believe what they see.
Walking out of the brand new carriage station, on both sides of the neat and clean spacious avenue, there are tall pine and cypress planted, swaying to the people who are coming to this town, washing the spiritual dust of travelers with greenery; red bricks are laid on the streets where people come and go, and on both sides are different shops and restaurants. While selling a variety of goods, they also provide food from various countries for the business trips visiting this place.
The aroma of grilled venison, the unique spicy of curry lamb brain, and the aroma of roasted beef sausage skewers spread on the noon streets of Urumqi. Restaurants with different flavors and dishes also provide various privately brewed fine wines. In combination with their own cuisine, every pedestrian passing by salivates and even the stomach bags are twitching.
Not only are the restaurants so diverse, but the shops on the street are also dazzling.
Mainly fur merchants and wine merchants, Urumqi sells the most lush and bright fur, as well as the rich and intoxicating grape wine. These two products are well-known far and wide, allowing groups of merchants to come from thousands of miles away to purchase, and the price difference is several times.
The endless fleet of horse and carriages brought about a group of rich and wealthy merchants. In addition to purchasing a large amount of money, they also sold products from other places here, indirectly revitalizing the prosperity of Urumqi. Even fresh agricultural products that should not appear here are sold in the store with the sign of affordable sales.
After walking through the academies, money houses, yamen, temples, and art galleries in the town, these are enough symbols of civilization and prosperity. The old people who have been to Urumqi are surprised and do not understand why the desolate town has changed so much; and the new people who have never been to this place will be even more surprised. They cannot guess how the desolate land in the northwest can build such a highly prosperous and beautiful city.
This question is easily answered. The halls in the restaurant, the students in the academy, the shopkeepers in the money shop, and even everyone in the city are happy to tell the new travelers that 90% of the land in Urumqi belongs to a couple surnamed Zhou. Except for temples and yamen, every tangible asset in this city is in their name. In fact, if the collateral for the loan is taken into consideration, even the land in the temples and yamen belongs to them.
The couple came to Urumqi two and a half years ago. With the correct vision and meticulous execution, they quickly gave the town a new life, developed and created miracles.
Today, instead of living in the town, the couple moved to a hot spring hotel half a mile outside the town, where they operate a high-quality hotel in the northwest.
It’s really unimaginable that Lord Gongjin actually…but it seems that I was not wrong.
A newly arrived traveler in Urumqi nodded with emotion after asking about the hotel location of Zhou and his wife, and then disappeared into the crowd.
