Zhendong City is the largest city in the eastern plain of Xia Kingdom. It is led by Chen Jiajun, one of the four major families. It covers an area of 100 square kilometers and is 130 kilometers away from Yongyao City, the imperial capital of Xia Kingdom. It is also the only way to the imperial capital.
Pass by the fortress.
At dawn, Guo Lin walked out of the forest with a ragged redwood. Looking up, he saw the dark green wall of Zhendong City. It was not yet time for the night ban, and the gate of Zhendong City was closed tightly, like a sleeping cage.
"Sir..." Sequoia stood there, shyly tightening the thin strips of cloth on her tights and hesitated to speak.
Guo Lin's mind was quite delicate. Along the way, he had already considered going to the city to buy some decent clothes and then taking Sequoia into the city. He immediately expressed his thoughts.
Sequoia sighed and said leisurely: "Then I have to thank you, young master. It's just that the little girl is outside in disheveled clothes. If she encounters a bad person, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope that the young master will go and come back quickly."
The woman's weak look made Guo Lin's heart soften. He restrained the thought of holding her in his arms and said, "I'll find a hidden place to hide you first."
Guo Lin didn't know why he thought about Sequoia so much. Maybe because of similar experiences, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. Back then, when he was still the good-for-nothing third young master of the Guo family, why didn't he expect that one day he would suddenly come to her?
A peerless strong man has brought him out of the sea of suffering. It is best to cure his own dryness... Helping her is also a comfort to himself. The soft sunshine in the morning caressed Guo Lin's delicate, slightly childish face. Close
After thinking about it, he settled down at Sequoia and walked toward the east city of Zhendong alone.
The city gate was wide open, and Guo Lin, wearing a light brown coat, walked slowly and slowly along the bridge of the Zhendong City moat...
At noon, Sequoia, who had been hiding on the tree trunk for a long time, had not yet waited for Guo Lin to come back. She was hungry and anxious and looked haggard. She wanted to climb down to relieve herself, but was afraid of being in danger. She was struggling internally.
Thinking of his unfortunate experience, Liu frowned, feeling sorry for himself.
From the time she was sensible, she lived in the home of an adoptive father who owned several acres of land, and had an older brother who was "nice" to her. She was not an ordinary woman, and she also hoped that one day she could be like those respectable magicians in Xia Kingdom.
She trained like a martial artist, and was able to escape from the poor village and live a carefree life. However, her extremely poor physique prevented her from being an ordinary woman.
She originally thought that when she grew up, her adoptive father would marry a good man for her. Unexpectedly, her adoptive father listened to the village wizard and agreed to give herself to the devil in order for her eldest brother to have a son in the future. She also pinned her hopes on her childhood.
The elder brother who was kind to him could help him escape, but he turned out to be a man with a beastly heart!
Sequoia hated this kind of fearful and insecure life. She wished she had a shoulder to lean on. She thought of Guo Lin's handsome, attractive, and slightly childish face. If he were two years older than me,
Years old, it would be great if his strength were higher...
"Brother Qian! Why are you here? I worked so hard to find you." Through the green branches and leaves, Sequoia saw Dahan dressed like a pass guard walking from the forest road. Because the location Guo Lin was looking for was very
Well, they couldn't find themselves hiding in the trees at all.
Qian Le turned his head and said in frustration: "Liu Ke, you haven't found that boy either? What should I do? I don't even dare to go back." After saying that, he walked forward aimlessly.
.
Liu Ke thought to himself that it would be better if you never go back. He put his left hand around Qian Le's shoulder, while his right hand secretly held the dagger inserted in his waist. A vicious thought came to him. If you die, what I said
It's all perfect. If I think of some excuses to put the blame on that exposed boy, my life, Liu Ke's, will definitely be safe.
Liu Ke pretended to be relieved and said: "You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple. As long as he is still in the Zhendong Plain, he will not be able to fly even if he has wings. Brother Qian, don't worry too much."
Qian Le felt that as long as he failed to catch Guo Lin, his life would be hanging on the knife's edge. He glanced at Liu Ke and didn't know why he was so optimistic. He shook his head again and continued walking forward listlessly. Suddenly, there was a burst of skin.
The pain of being cut came from the back of his heart, and he took a breath of shock. He wanted to hide, but it was too late. Liu Ke's long-planned knife stabbed directly through his left chest.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Liu Ke came around from behind with a ferocious look on his face and said, "If you want to blame, blame that boy."
"Why..." Qian Le grabbed Liu Ke's collar with his trembling hands, and bright red blood poured out of his mouth. He never thought that his comrade who had worked with him for many years would one day poison him.
"Because I can live only if you die." Liu Ke laughed ferociously, stretched out his palm, and slapped Qian Le's body hard. The dagger was shaken out of the latter's body, and the bloody arrow shot over seven feet.
Chanler slumped to the ground helplessly, and the vitality in his eyes quickly and irrevocably faded.
"Ah!" Sequoia hoped that she didn't see anything at this time. When she couldn't help but cry out, her face was ashen. Liu Ke was shocked that there were actually people here. After hearing the sound, he went to see something.
A big tree with a dense crown. That's where the sound came from.
"A woman? I hope she's not too powerful." Liu Ke leaned over anxiously. His strength was no more than a mid-level warrior, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become a pass guard. He raised his head and looked through the layers of leaves.
Finally he saw a slightly trembling figure. Liu Ke was determined. Although he didn't know why this woman was hiding in the tree, as long as she was not a warrior or magician like himself, killing her would be like squeezing an ant to death.
Is it easy?
"Come down!" Liu Ke shouted with fighting spirit, and kicked the tree trunk hard. The trunk shook violently, withered leaves flying to the ground, and then a half-naked woman rolled down from the top.
Liu Ke's eyes widened. He had seen quite a few women, and they often hung out at the fireworks place in Zhendong City. But compared with the woman in front of him, those women were simply vulgar. The woman looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked very pretty.
The pitiful expression formed a sharp contrast with the pair of naturally charming eyes. The lotus-like jade arms were wrapped around the whitewashed shoulders, and the round waist was exposed to the air. Liu Ke looked at the woman greedily.
, the index finger moved greatly, and I felt that my whole soul was about to be hooked.
It would be a pity to kill him like this. Liu Ke laughed obscenely and reached out to grab Sequoia. Suddenly, the air around him became hot, and he had a bad premonition. He twisted his waist and immediately dodged to one side. At the same time, a
The red flames grazed his cheeks, causing him to break into a cold sweat.
"What a pity." Guo Lin ran out of the bushes and blocked the front of the redwood tree. It turned out that he had returned from Zhendong City a long time ago. He saw two familiar big men dressed like guards and hid nearby.
When they started talking, Guo Lin remembered that these two people were the guards at the pass yesterday.
When Liu Ke secretly took out the dagger, Guo Lin found that the situation seemed a bit strange, but he was not a good person and had no good impression of the Chen family's Zhendong Army, so he did not show up to save a person who had nothing to do with him.
. Just wait for him to kill the person and leave quickly, so that he can take Sequoia into the city before dark.
"You! It's you. Hahaha, you can't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here. I was thinking about how to put the blame on you, but I didn't expect it to come to my door. You thought you could wash away the dirt on your face,
You're wearing some decent clothes, can't I recognize you, Old Liu?" Liu Ke burst out laughing. Thanks to his photographic memory, it's really hard for most people to recognize you.
Guo Lin frowned. He only half understood what Liu Ke said. Just as he was thinking about the meaning of his words, Liu Ke said again: "Boy, you have to thank me. Now you are a wanted criminal of Zhendong Army."
"What wanted criminal?" Sequoia asked timidly. She never thought that the boy who stayed with her all night was actually a wanted criminal in the army.
"You instigated Qian Le to light up the smoke, lied about the military situation, and alarmed the Zhendong Army. Now you killed the Zhendong Army's guards. I saw it with my own eyes. You can't escape."
Guo Lin's eyes narrowed and he said coldly: "Slander!"
Liu Ke looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and said: "So what if I slander you? When you said that you would be detained in front of General Chen, did he believe a fugitive or me? Hum, aren't you the one who was escorted the day before yesterday?
Are you going to corrupt the plains? Old Liu, I have a very sharp eye."
Guo Lin sarcastically said: "It's a pity that I only serve as a guard at the pass for all my efforts." But he thought in his heart that if he was really brought to Chen Ping, there would be no need to explain at all. He, the third young master of the Guo family, would be captured immediately. This guard was mistaken.
An accidental collision actually accomplished a great feat. Thinking of this, Guo Linsheng felt a strong murderous intention, and two red flames were summoned from his hands.
