"There is a way out."

Xiao Lan paused and looked at the withered leaves beside the road. The layers of waxy yellow looked like mottled colorful clouds, and the bottom layer was almost rotten.

After an autumn rain, the pace of winter is also gathering pace.

"I originally thought that in this chaotic world, all three of my brothers and sister could live safely and healthily. But the world does not allow it. It seems that if we don't fight, we will only die. Maybe you are right."

Xiao Lan fell silent, so what's the use of having a way out? After retreating again and again, there will be a time when there is no way to retreat. At that time, resisting is the only way out.

"Xiao Jiu seems to have a gentle temperament, but in fact, he is arrogant in his bones. He wants to be strong, decisive and domineering...but he is also very self-disciplined and self-reliant." Xiao Lan thought about it, smiling indulgently and helplessly, with a face that was usually cold.

His face was full of his elder brother's care for his younger brother. Unfortunately, Wu Ke didn't see it. He just sighed and said, "Maybe this is the nature of being a king..."

Hearing these words, Wu Ke, who was half a step behind him, raised his eyebrows slightly, with surprise in his eyes, and half-questioned, "Since Mr. Da Lang understands clearly, why bother others?"

Xiao Lan didn't say anything. Who doesn't understand?

It's just that it's hard to do.

He still remembered that when he was young, he learned martial arts just to protect his younger brothers and sisters from harm, and to work as a bodyguard to earn a living.

But in recent years, the changes in the Xiao family have been so rapid that he only had time to think about this idea, and it was almost forgotten, leaving no room for practice.

Later, he led people up the mountain to kill bandits, and then led more than a thousand soldiers to kill the enemy on the battlefield. It seemed that he was no longer the lonely young man in the past.

"Where's Mr. Wu? I remember that you initially said you were coming to Xun County to visit relatives, why...?" Xiao Lan turned around and looked at Wu Ke in confusion.

The latter coughed heavily when he heard this.

Wu Ke was embarrassed and wanted to dig a hole in the ground, but at the same time he cursed in his heart that it was not your good brother who coaxed and deceived him to stay here and work for many years. After today, he decided to stay and continue working voluntarily.

"Well... since I'm working with the master now, I won't bother others, haha..."

Xiao Lan didn't know what happened between Xiao Jiu and Wu Ke, so she believed what he said and didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Ke was too embarrassed to talk to Xiao Lan anymore and found an excuse to leave quickly.

It was Le Wei who came to Xiao Jiu and told him that the materials exchanged for the property had been collected, plus the materials donated from various places, it was enough, and he began to arrange for the refugees to go north.

A team of tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city and marched into the distance in a mighty queue. They were escorted by three thousand sergeants. There were also two thousand Tenglong troops mixed in among the refugees. Be careful on the road, and there shouldn't be any big commotion.

Xiao Jiu stood on the city tower, watching the long team go away. Xiao Lan's instructions before leaving last night seemed to be echoing in his ears, "Xiao Jiu, I don't have much ability or ambition, but as long as you need

, Brother can do anything for you."

And the last sentence, "Take care of yourself and take good care of Ying'er. Brother, I only have you two as my relatives."

Xiao Jiu only had two relatives, he and Xiao Ying, but no matter how reluctant he was to leave, he still had to do what he had to do. Going to the north to lay the foundation for the subsequent relocation of his forces was of great importance. Xiao Jiu had too few people available, so he had to send Xiao Jiu.

Go.

He could only rest assured that Xiao Lan would go.

The autumn wind whistled, and the team of tens of thousands of people was crowded. From a height, the crowd looked like tiny ants, so densely packed that it was difficult for Xiao Jiu to recognize which one was his brother. He stood until the end, until the last person in the team

The figure disappeared without a trace, and then he slowly turned around and went back to his house.

After this farewell, I don’t know when I will see Xiao Lan again.

Xiao Lan will have to face difficulties every step of the way to the north. The cold climate, barren land, and the barbarians who harass him from time to time have to be endured. These countless difficulties can only be solved by himself.

He just went to open up wasteland, and all Xiao Jiu could do was to provide him with as much food, grass and supplies as possible.

"Little junior brother!"

As soon as they got off the tower, a figure suddenly rushed towards Xiao Jiu.

Almost as soon as the person approached, Xiao Jiu drew his sword and stabbed him, but the sound was so familiar to him, as if he had heard the person's voice, and the movement of his hand unconsciously slowed down, and he was unable to stab him in the end.

The surrounding guards successfully stopped the person.

"Who is coming?!"

One person shouted with authority.

"Hey, what are you doing! Junior brother, don't you recognize senior brother?"

Not only did the visitor not get angry when he was stopped, he stood still and shouted in a rough voice with his hands on his hips, showing his big white teeth and smiling brightly.

"It's me! Your third senior brother!"

"I used to take you to play with me when I was little. Do you really not remember?" he asked.

"Third Senior Brother?!"

Xiao Jiu was shocked and surprised. Of course he remembered who his third senior brother was, but forgive him for not recognizing that the person in front of him was the third senior brother in his memory!

Look at the straw sandals with a big hole in them, the black toes exposed, the whole body is like a sack of tattered clothes, the hair is as messy as a bird's nest, and you can smell the stench of the other person as soon as you get close.

The clothes are in rags and the whole body is dirty and smelly. He looks like a homeless man who has traveled three thousand miles. You tell me this person is his third senior brother???

"It's me, junior brother, don't you remember me?"

Remember, why don't you remember? When Xiao Jiu heard the big man's voice again, he finally knew why it sounded familiar to him. This man was none other than his third senior brother Xiang He.

Xiao Jiu was struck by lightning. He waved his hand to let people go. He stepped forward and looked at the man in front of him with disbelief, "Are you really my third senior brother?"

If you look closely, you can actually see some outlines of the past in the man's bearded face covered in black mud.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu finally recognized him, Xiang He slapped his big hand without any unfamiliarity, leaving a black fingerprint on Xiao Jiu's shoulder, and laughed, "It's okay, kid. I've heard about it. You are here now."

I have become the county chief, hahahaha... I have a lot of potential, and I am much better than my senior brother!"

so what?

Xiao Jiu looked at the slap marks on his clothes with black lines on his head, and joked, "So, senior brother, do you want to consider joining me?"

"Hey...Look at what you are capable of, why are you defecting to you? Senior brother, I haven't seen enough of the great mountains and rivers, and you still want me to come and work for you. Are you dreaming!"

Xiao Jiu pretended to sigh with regret, "That's really my loss. When will senior brother change his mind? You can come to work for me at any time. You are welcome."

"Hey, it's been so many years since I last saw you, your mouth has become even more eloquent."

Xiang He grabbed Xiao Jiu roughly and put it under his arm. He raised his hand and pointed forward, "Come on, take me to where you live. I want to see what my junior brother lives like now that he is rich."

place.”

What else can it be?

It will never be Jinwo and Yinwo.

Xiao Yan was fummented by Xiang and his body. He wanted to break away from him, seeing Xiang and dragging him towards the city. "Brother, you go the wrong direction, my family is outside the city.

"

"Oh, don't say it earlier, it hurts me to go wrong. I still waited for several hours outside the city."

Xiao Yan: Did you give me a chance to speak?

Xiang and his feet turned around, stepped on Xiao Yan and walked back, and the surrounding guard followed.

Xiao Yan spent his strength to break away from the item. At this moment, the type was a bit messy. He had a whole corner, curious, "Brother is waiting for me outside the city? What are you waiting for?"
