Chapter 318 Returning to Jiuyuan, an old acquaintance
A few days ago, Xie Xin and his party quickly caught up with Yuan Clan's large army.
But what followed was blood all over the ground. Seeing the innocent people being brutally killed by these butchers, their bodies were left exposed in the wilderness and eaten by prairie wolves and other carnivores. Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
I can't bear it.
Especially Xie Ying had never seen such a cruel scene, so she cried immediately.
After all, since she was a child, the farthest she has been is Yingchuan. The rest of the time she has never left Nanyang County, and she has even stayed in Xiaoyao Fairyland and practiced hard.
Because of this, she is simpler and kinder than ordinary girls.
If she cried, the consequences would be very serious.
Not to mention the letter of thanks for doting on this daughter; let’s talk about her current boyfriend Lu Bu; and Nan Hua, who treats her like a daughter; Lu Bu, who treats her like a niece; Tang Zhou, who respects her as a senior sister; of course, we cannot but mention her.
biological mother Gongsun Ying and her aunt Wang Rong.
Immortals...well, these guys can only be regarded as monks for now, but when they get angry, mortals will also suffer.
The group of people came directly to Yuan Shang's camp and slaughtered all the Yuan soldiers inside in just a moment. Naturally, there was no sense of guilt in doing so. After all, as Xie Xin said, 'Destroy the barbarians.
Not guilty'!
All flesh, flesh and soul were given to the Immortal Slayer Sword. Although it was of no benefit to its promotion, it was like anti-rust oil or something, and it was good to use it for maintenance.
"Speaking of which, is it really okay to kill so many mortals at once?" Gongsun Ying asked worriedly.
"If there is a problem, it's not our fault. Before I took action, he snatched it all away." Lu Bu pointed at the thank you letter and said.
"I just asked Xinlang if he would have any problems!" Gongsun Ying emphasized.
"It should be no problem. The thunder of the Three Nine Tribulations can't hurt me at all. The thunder of the Six Nine Tribulations can only break my skin. The strongest Nine Nine Tribulations Thunder can only return in vain with the help of the Immortal Destroying Sword."
." Xie Xin thought for a while and said.
"No wonder you are one step ahead of us." Nan Hua said with a smile.
"Except for my wife and children, if any of you dies, it's none of my business!
It’s just that I was really angry at the time. Firstly, these guys offended my precious daughter. Secondly, if they really learned how to live like the Hu people, they would definitely spread a lot of Han knowledge to the Hu people, and even
Through the hands of the barbarians, it spread to the Western Regions and even to Rome.
I feel very unhappy when I think that those uncivilized or semi-civilized barbarians will become stronger because of our technology and eventually become the formidable enemies of our Chinese nation. As a result, the Yuan Clan will collapse as a result.
They cannot be allowed to continue to survive." Xie Xin said with a solemn expression.
"Forget it, kill them all. Even if you talk about reasons, it feels like you are making excuses for yourself. By the way, aren't we going to Jiuyuan?" Wang Rong stepped forward and said.
"Yes, it's rare that Yuan Clan has been dealt with, so we can continue on our way." Xie Xin said with a smile.
Naturally, no one had any other opinions on this, so they just continued on their way.
Probably in order to quickly leave this no-man's land, the speed of the journey has been increased a lot. In fact, if you really want to rush at the beginning, with the capabilities of two carriages and four third-level spiritual horses, you can only go from the Great Wall to Jiuyuan.
It only takes about two days.
It was only because everyone was out for fun this time instead of rushing, so it was a little slow.
Now that the speed had increased, the group of people arrived at the city of Jiuyuan just as it was getting dark, and before the gate was closed, they handed over a guide and entered the city smoothly.
"After a long day's journey, let's have a good night's rest!" Xie Xin said to everyone after staying at the Jiuyuan Branch of Yuelai Inn and arriving at the guest room on the second floor.
"Okay!" everyone replied in unison.
The two girls got what they wanted. They followed Xie Xin into the room and personally served Xie Xin to take a bath and undress.
After changing into large and close-fitting nightgowns, the three of them climbed onto the soft bed hand in hand.
Naturally, this bed is not the one that originally existed in the inn, but a new bed that Xie Xin put into the space ring and then took out. If they encountered sleeping in the wilderness at night, Xie Xin and the others would sleep on it.
On this bed.
After a warm and intense affection, the two girls lay happily on Xie Xin's chest with their rosy cheeks still on their faces.
"Xinlang, what is our ultimate goal when we go out for fun this time?" Gongsun Ying suddenly asked.
"God knows, anyway, I have been preparing for about half a year, and everyone will just play around in China." Xie Xin replied after thinking for a while.
"Is it really okay to leave Sister Xiangxiang and Sister Bian at home?" Wang Rong asked.
"It's nothing, we are not ordinary people anyway. When it's time to go back, we will just go back, and then return to the team's location and continue to play." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"We're just playing like this, but why does it feel like it's not an ordinary game?" Wang Rong discovered this problem keenly.
"Actually, it's very simple to say. As we play, I will accidentally gain some insights or adventures, and these insights and adventures will also greatly improve my cultivation.
In other words, our trip is not just an ordinary family outing, it can also be regarded as a journey of enlightenment. After all, I am a monk from the heaven-defying camp, and enlightenment is more effective in improving my cultivation than practicing life-long cultivation." Xie
The letter did not intend to hide anything, and answered directly.
Knowing the whole story, the two girls naturally did not intend to continue questioning. They just rested on Xie Xin's chest, and the younger sister fell asleep.
Cultivation is naturally important, but for them, no matter how much they practice, it is not as precious as this moment. Women, rather than what achievements they have achieved, it is better to enjoy the happy time with their lover and accompany them.
It should be more precious.
The night passed quietly like this.
When a new day arrived, everyone got up and washed up briefly. After breakfast, they checked out and left the inn. The city was just a temporary place for them to stay. Their destination was the small village in Lu Bu's hometown.
"By the way, have you noticed that the city is much more prosperous than other places?" Lou Gui suddenly asked on the way.
"Speaking of which, the population and floating population here do seem to be much larger than in other places!" Lu Bu also discovered this problem.
"Perhaps there is an official here who is proficient in government affairs?" Nan Hua gave his answer.
"By the way, you were in charge of this place before? Do you know who is the county guard here?" Xie Xin asked Lu Bu.
"God knows, I rarely ask about the appointment and dismissal of officials. Moreover, when I was in Chang'an, I was not really in power for a long time, and it seems that there were no personnel changes during this period." Lu Bu thought for a while and answered.
"Bingzhou was under the control of Yuan Shao for a period of time. Maybe he appointed and dismissed the people here?" Lou Gui put forward his own opinion.
"It's possible... forget it, it's none of our business anyway. As long as the people here live a comfortable life, it doesn't matter who governs this place." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Yes..." The rest of the people nodded in agreement.
Towards the afternoon, the group finally arrived at Lu Bu's former residence.
This is a small village in the north of Saibei, with a population of about two hundred households. Of course, according to Lu Bu, before he left, there were actually only about fifty households here, and those who came later may have recently migrated here.
Nowadays, the ancestral home of the Ren family no longer belongs to the Ren family. Things have changed and people have changed for more than ten years. This place has long been a leather goods store, specializing in selling leather appliances.
Ren Hongchang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw this scene. Lu Bu came to her side and gently comforted her.
It was surprising, but everyone thought that the Lu family might have changed hands, but when they arrived at the Lu family's ancestral home, Lu Bu discovered that the place was exactly the same as when he left!
Indeed, the exterior is a bit shabby, but someone should come and clean it every once in a while, and everything inside is completely clean.
What surprised him the most was that there were no traces of human habitation inside. Moreover, there was a plaque with the word "Lu Mansion" hanging on top of the gate. In other words, this scene must have happened because someone hired someone or did it himself.
He came to sweep in person, but he had no intention of living here, as if he reserved this house specially for someone.
"Fengxian, isn't he an acquaintance or clan member of yours?" Xie Xin asked jokingly.
"My acquaintances have either rebelled or died... The last one is still guarding the gate of the academy!" Lu Bu said angrily.
"That's true, then who did this?" Xie Xin asked curiously.
"Don't tell me, I want to know too... I won't tell you anymore. Since no one is here, we can stay here temporarily for two days! Chang'er, how about we go to the ancestral grave to worship?" Lu Bu
Say it casually.
"Okay, I just want to pay homage to my ancestors." Ren Hongchang nodded.
"Including us, we can be considered a family after all." Xie Xin said.
"Let's all go together." Lu Bu said with a smile.
After laying down and saluting, under Lu Bu's guidance, everyone came to the Lu family's ancestral grave.
Like Lu's house, this place has also been carefully cleaned. Even after all this time, it is still very clean and tidy, not overgrown with weeds at all.
"Fortunately, I thought it was a mess here, so I won't be scolded to death by dad and the others." Lu Bu said with a sigh of relief.
"It's just that I'm afraid that I will be scolded to death by my ancestors..." Ren Hongchang smiled bitterly and pointed to a grave not far away.
There are obviously the ancestors of the Ren family, but compared with the neatness of Lu Bu's ancestral grave, the scene there is completely overgrown with weeds, and what's more, the coffins inside seem to be exposed a little.
"Yes, before you serve the ancestors of the Lu family, you must first serve your wife's ancestors!" Lu Bu walked over with a smile.
"I'll help you too..." Xie Xin also walked over.
In the end, everyone worked together and spent two hours to clean up all the ancestral graves. Naturally, no magic was used in the process, because this would be disrespectful to the ancestors.
After finishing the incense, everyone just wanted to come back and offer incense to the ancestors of the Lu family...
"Fengxian?!" A sudden voice suddenly came.
"Li Su, why are you here?!" Lu Bu shouted in surprise.
