El Tienno calendar, June, 419, in the southern Guijiang River Basin of El Tienno

Breaking out the head, Gong Jin knows that something is wrong, but he doesn't know how to dodge it. As for the protection of hard qigong, it is not his own strength, this monster's mouthparts. Rui, he may not be able to retreat all over... Ninety-nine percent of them cannot.

Just as Gong Jin felt the threat of death again, and tried to break free with a muffled sound. The golden flash was like a thunder from the sky, and it hit the monster's head first, smashing its entire head, leaving the rest of his strength to follow. The long neck teleported down, and Gong Jin's full-out burst of protective qi, smashed the body of this monster at once.

When he was saved at the most dangerous moment, Gong Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but watching the Equality Hammer kill the monster with a single blow, the power is so powerful that he hurts his face. Xiao Qiao, who made this blow with all his strength, must be depleted. Not light, Gong Jin felt uneasy, turned his head and looked back.

"Brother Yu, you...are you okay?"

Turning her head and looking back, Xiao Qiao’s figure was backed by the moonlight. For a while, she was a little unrealistic and hazy. After confirming that Gong Jin was safe and sound, she seemed unwilling to stay for a long time. She didn't even say a word, and immediately jumped in. Jump up, want to leave here with the fastest effort.

"Little Joe!"

Of course, Gong Jin wouldn't let Xiao Qiao leave like this. As Xiao Qiao flew up, he also got up and chased after him. The two turned into a pair of shadows in the moonlight for a brief but intense chase. Since neither side intended to reveal their whereabouts, although they were flying fast on the eaves of the house, no one found them.

The chase didn't last long, she was suffering from some kind of pain. When she found that Gong Jin had stopped chasing unintentionally, her heart was confused, and her speed slowed down. Gong Jin grabbed her arm.

"Wait a minute! Brother Yu, please...wait a minute."

There must always be an end to chasing and evading. Gong Jin let go of his hand, but stood behind Xiao Qiao in a firm posture of never leaving, waiting for her to look back.

"Brother Yu, I...the way I am now...not pretty..."

Xiao Qiao’s voice did not sound like the usual calmness, the kind of fear that was extremely suppressed, but was obviously on the verge of crying, made Gong Jin feel a little regretful, maybe he shouldn’t stand here and witness At the most fragile moment of this young girl, she should not forcefully reveal a secret she tried to hide, because from the perspective of the back, Xiao Qiao's figure seems to have changed a bit, different from usual...

But Gong Jin believes that he has done nothing wrong, because when this secret will be revealed sooner or later, one more person to support may make Xiao Qiao a little better, so he just exerts his most proud calmness, let The voice was steady as usual, and he told Xiao Qiao softly that no matter what she became, he would respect her and keep this secret for her.

"Really...really...you won't tell others...if you let others know, they will treat me and treat me..."

While sobbing, Xiao Qiao was reluctant to turn around for a long time, but when Gong Jin put her shoulders on her shoulders and gently applied force, she did not continue to resist, and turned around following his force. Perhaps, she has the same thoughts as Gong Jin in her heart. If this secret is to be revealed in the end, she hopes that this man will be the first person in the rebels to know his secret.

At the moment Xiao Qiao turned around, Gong Jin was mentally prepared. He imagined many demons in his mind. He thought that no matter what he saw, he would not be too surprised. Therefore, he was in a faint moonlight. , Carefully examine the face that has already been filled with tears.

It has indeed changed from before. The horn on Xiao Qiao’s forehead is now missing; those light-colored markings on the face; under the moonlight, there is no strange feeling on this face. On the contrary, like a pure and lovely girl next door, exuding ordinary beauty, Gong Jin looked a little dazed.

But he soon realized that something was wrong. This beautiful face that couldn't see the slightest demonization phenomenon made the mentally prepared Gong Jin even more shocked. When he finally understood what the chaotic thought in his mind was, he almost screamed out of control.

"Little Joe, you...you are human!"

Even if he saw Xiao Qiao completely demonized into a demon clan, Gong Jin would not be astonished by one tenth now, but the fact he discovered is really extraordinary; he has always been on the same line with the Guiyi clan for their happiness. The Destiny leader who fought **** resistance and possessed three great artifacts was actually a human girl? Could there be anything more absurd than this in the world?

But Gong Jin soon realized the seriousness of the matter. If others were to let others know Xiao Qiao’s identity, and the secrets were revealed, this alliance army, which was only made together based on the legend of the "True Son of Destiny", would immediately. There will be a crisis of secession, and the situation is even more serious than declaring Xiao Qiao a demon.

There are a lot of people around here, not a good place to talk, and there are a lot of noisy voices quickly approaching, the situation is wrong, Xiao Qiao must be taken away immediately, but Gong Jin was just about to speak and started crying.

Tears; Wenying's heat even makes her chest that has been cold for a long time burning...

"Zhou...Zhou Yu, what are you doing there?"

Fortunately, the first person who came here was Yan Ning. She watched Gong Jin hug the crying Xiao Qiao, comforting her, and her face was suddenly full of consternation.

"Yin Ning, the leader just killed a spy, very sad, the body is in that direction..."

"I know, we found a corpse just now, but you said that the thing was... a spy? How could it be? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a demon..."

"Stop talking, the leader is emotionally unstable. I will take her to rest. I beg you to come and clean up the aftermath."

Holding Xiao Qiao firmly in his arms, Gong Jin dropped his cloak to prevent anyone from seeing Xiao Qiao's appearance. After simply entrusting Yan Ning to entrust him, he immediately retreated and disappeared with his arms around Xiao Qiao.

Come over from behind, all the sergeants who witnessed this scene looked at each other, but no one felt that there was something wrong. During this period of time, the leader of Xiao Qiao and General Zhou Yu have always been in pairs. Hundreds of thousands of people in the army know their relationship, and most of them are optimistic about their success. They just didn’t expect it to be so obvious tonight. It's all right.

"Girl Yan Ning, the leader and General Zhou Yu..."

"Are you deaf? Didn't you say that the two of them, a man and a woman, went to rest together? Hugh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~- /

Yin Ning smiled and scolded the unfortunate person who was recklessly asking questions. She was actually quite restless. She has been working with Gong Jin for many years. Just the tone of the few sentences just now, she is certain that Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao must be Something went wrong. However, since Gong Jin gave himself the task of stabilizing the situation, he couldn't let people see any flaws.

Therefore, not only did she keep smiling, she also made jokes untimely. She asked her companions to remember to tell her subordinates not to harass the big and small hotels in the city tonight, so as not to disturb the innocent people who are busy resting in the hotel. men and women.

※※※

Yin Ning's instructions are truly considerate, but Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin will be blessed tonight. Gong Jin was concerned about the people coming and going in the city. He didn't know how many Bailudong spies, with ears hidden in the walls, were not suitable for talking about this super secret, so he took Xiao Qiao outside the city.

However, the damage caused to Xiao Qiao by using the three artifacts also showed up on their way out of the city. Just not far from the city, Xiao Qiao snorted, and her whole body trembled violently. In Gong Jin’s arms, her whole body was as cold as a giant ice in an instant, even though she was separated from her clothes and cloak. I still felt the bitter chill, and couldn't help but hit myself.

The situation was the same as when Xiao Qiao and Yan Ning played against each other for the second time. Gong Jin immediately let Xiao Qiao sit down, set up a fire around him, and arranged them in a circle of flames to guide the heat and help Xiao Qiao cool down. But this time the situation was worse than before. Although Xiao Qiao sat down in the circle of flames, she had lost consciousness and was unable to carry her luck on her own. If Gong Jin hadn't assisted her, she would definitely freeze in the circle of flames.

Regardless of whether he should hide his strength or not, Gong Jin went all out to help Xiao Qiao get rid of the coldness in his body, but judging from this increasingly severe internal injury, Gong Jin knew that this was a way to treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The source of the problem is the invasion of demonic energy caused by the use of the three artifacts.

In order to hide his identity, Gong Jin could not say that the news came from Bailudong, only that he had been studying the secrets of the three artifacts and discovered some amazing sequelae these days.

"The three artifacts originally came from the demon world and were relics of the Kyushu War. They were not developed for use by races other than the demon race. If they continue to be used, they will have a bad effect on your body, so from now on, I hope you ..."

"I know, but the reason why you didn't say anything, Brother Yu, must be able to understand my difficulties!"

Gong Jin does know. If Xiao Qiao no longer uses the three magic weapons, then who should continue to rush to the front and guide the loyalty and morale of the entire army? Among the coalition forces, Xiao Qiao is an irreplaceable leader idol. If she disappears or shows fear or retreat, the entire army will be affected. It is because she understands this that she has been on the forefront. .

"The three artifacts will absorb the vitality of the user. Master has told me a long time ago. Before I came to Pengfenpo, Master had set up protection for me, and sealed the power in the holy armor and the hammer. Reduce the damage of these two artifacts to me, but I was in the mine that day..."

Of course, Gong Jin will not forget that in the mine that day, the three of them were attacked by the demon leopard together. When they were about to die together, it was those two artifacts that slowly released their devilish energy and were sealed inside. The protective power of this caused the Devil Leopard to give up continuing to attack and change his attitude towards the three of them.

At that time, I only thought it was a coincidence, and the three were saved inexplicably. How did they know that all luck was to pay a price. After that, when Xiao Qiao used the hammer and holy armor, his vitality was lost to the previous ten. When the magic ring of freedom interacted with the hammer and holy armor, some unexpected side effects appeared one after another.

"Recently, I often feel very tired and tired. Every time I come back from combat, I want to fall down and get a good night’s sleep. But when I slept in the middle of the night, I would be so hot that I woke up again, and my whole body seemed to be put on I feel uncomfortable like a steamer, my throat is so dry, I really want to...I really want to drink something special..."

Xiao Qiao said it euphemistically, but how could Gong Jin not be able to hear it? That strange dry mouth and tongue represented the body's thirst for blood. The three artifacts consume a lot of flesh and blood vitality, and the gradually demonized flesh asks the owner to replenish it in the most direct way; for the demons, there is no more nutritious food than biological blood, which is relatively high. The demons may directly absorb the flesh and vitality of creatures, but no matter how high or low, all demons will not hate the sweetness of blood.

"When I first heard about the vampire incident, I was terrified. I was always worried about whether I went out and did these things when I was half unconscious... But I really didn't. Use the magic circle seal to lower the barrier, as long as I leave, I will definitely know when I wake up."

"Little Joe, you don't have to be so eager to prove to me, I believe you! I know these things can't be done by you."

Gong Jin was ashamed of her own words, because he did have doubts about Xiao Qiao just now and was anxious, but now he can't say these things, her psychological burden is heavy enough.

"By the way, where's your horn? How did you miss it?"

Gong Jin originally intended to break the topic, but as soon as this sentence was uttered, he and Xiao Qiao faced reality more directly.

"The horns are gone." Xiao Qiao wiped away tears, and barely squeezed out a smile. "The horns and the patterns on his face are all disguise made by magic. They are special spells taught by the master. After casting the spell The appearance will be the same as that of all ghosts, this disguise magic is very effective, at least...you haven't noticed it, brother, have you?"

"Why do you pretend to be a ghost? No, I want to ask, why did you come out to help the ghost and do so much..."

After learning the truth, Gong Jin's biggest puzzle is this. If it is a ghost, in order to obtain a better living space, resisting the oppression of the past two thousand years, it is not surprising what sacrifices and efforts have been made, but why a human girl has to do so much for the ghost What?

"Brother Yu, is this different from who I am? It is not only the ghosts who want to live a peaceful and happy life, but also humans! I know that if you want to achieve a truly ideal world, only human efforts are needed. It’s impossible, so I hope to fight with the Guiyi tribe!"

Xiao Qiao’s expression is extremely serious, his serious eyes gleaming with life brilliance, so hot that Gong Jin can hardly face it, as if it were a strong sunlight, and he couldn’t help shining deep into the darkest corner, making him feel A throbbing not seen in a long time.

"No one wants to be the bridge between the Guiyi tribe and humans, so let me be it! However, the Guiyi tribe’s resentment towards humans is too deep, and they are too wary. If I approach as a human, there will be no A ghost would be willing to listen to my thoughts, so I used magic to pretend to live with ghosts and do things with them, hoping to lead everyone in a better direction... Brother Yu, I do this. , Is it wrong? Uncle Bai said that if my identity is discovered, the ghosts will treat me as a spy, humans will regard me as a traitor, and I will have nowhere to stay in both worlds."

Pearl-like tears, on the pale cheeks of the girl, are traces of passing; the secret she has been trying to keep, collapsed with her fragile defense, and she doesn't know whether her ideals can be kept or not. How would this man react? I don't know how he would look at himself, and he...cared about his reaction very much.

"Brother Yu, do you think I am a traitor to mankind? I...have I betrayed you?"

"Xiao Qiao, I don’t know if you are a human or a ghost, but in my eyes, you are you. The things you have done for these people and the hard work you have done for these people represent you, and I hopelessly like you now!"

Speaking softly with such comfort, Gong Jin hugged the girl beside her into his arms, ignoring her initial struggle, hugged her tightly, and gave her as much warmth as possible; after a while, she completely removed her defensive heart. The girl lost her voice in pain in his warm embrace.

"Don't cry...Don't cry...You are our leader. You must look like a leader. If people see you crying, I will become a sinner of the whole army, so don't cry anymore. Come on!"

Patting Xiao Qiao’s thin back, Gong Jin prayed that the sob in his ear would gradually decrease, but at this sad moment, Gong Jin felt a little joy again, because at this moment, this second, this The girl is in her arms, trusting and relying on herself, it feels so good...

Xiao Qiao has such a secret. The burden of the three artifacts is like a maggot with bones. The road in the future will become more and more difficult, but Gong Jin secretly made a promise to himself, no matter what he has to face in the future , I will never let others hurt this girl.

※※※

Gong Jin did not tell Yan Ning what he had discovered. This secret belongs to Xiao Qiao, but he knew it by accident. Even if he was his best friend, he would not disclose this secret to him. she was.

Xiao Qiao's disguise magic is very practical, most of the time people can't see any flaws, but whenever the effect of the devilish influence occurs, Xiao Qiao, who is half unconscious, can no longer maintain the magic disguise. Her body was already extremely unwell that night, unable to maintain the magic disguise, but seeing Gong Jin chasing the vampire monster, and seemed to be in danger, she was forced to show up and expose her secret.

Gong Jin was determined to help Xiao Qiao keep this secret. The next day he showed the remains of the monster to everyone, announcing that he had found the vampire monster. You don’t need to worry anymore, and this monster tried to pretend to be Xiao Qiao The leader, obviously there are other forces operating behind this matter.

"Master Zhou Yu, do you know what forces are planning this thing behind? Everyone wants to know, everyone guesses if the conspiracy of Bailu Cave is..."

"Jiang Zhong, don't guess, we don't have definite evidence or be certain about this."

When the loyal subordinate asked so worriedly, Gong Jin didn't answer very directly, and he didn't affirm the fact that almost everyone has guessed the truth.

When the relationship between myself and Bailudong became tense, I realized that the power of Bailudong was huge, and for ordinary people, it was irresistibly deep-rooted. Experts are like clouds, can easily dispatch millions of troops, and have a complete and meticulous intelligence network. With these powerful resources, Gong Jin has never been disadvantaged, but if one day, all the resources that have been used by him will become enemies. Can your own intelligence really equalize these disadvantages?

Considering these factors, Gong Jin didn't want to make things too rigid and force Bailudong to preemptively before his teacher Lu You left the customs.

The waiting time finally arrived. Every time Lu You retreats, he will tell Gong Jin the date of his exit. In the past few hundred years, there has never been a change, only early, never delayed. In mid-July, according to the scheduled time, Gong Jin sent a unique secret communication to Lu You with a water mirror. This message was only received by Lu You, and it was an absolute secret between the master and the apprentice without passing through the old hall.

However, the subpoena sent by Shui Jing was like a stone sinking into the ocean. Gong Jin didn't get the slightest response. This was something that had never happened in the past hundreds of years.

There will be no problem with the signal sent by Shui Jing. The only explanation is that the other party’s deliberate silence and non-response. When the Shui Jing transmission failed for the third consecutive day, Gong Jin had to face the one that made him feel ashamed Answer: I and Yan Ning have been abandoned by the master.

There are many reasons for being abandoned. For the past hundreds of years, Gong Jin has been helping Master with secular work. He knows very well that Bailudong has decided that someone has no value, or is planning to replace this with someone else. In human time, how decisive can you change your attitude in an instant. Master can abandon herself and Yan Ning for many reasons, including the weird truth of "training you to become talents."

When it happened to others, this incident can be dealt with with a smile, but when it actually happened to himself, Gong Jin couldn’t laugh at all, especially when he found that Su Laotang cut off all the resources at his hand, and some of them He knew exactly what Lu You had made for those items that even had to be changed by his father's orders.

...Or maybe, as Su Laotang said, the so-called retreat was just a lie at the beginning, and the intention was only to make myself and Yan Ning not aware of the state of breaking off contact for a long time.

"Gong Jin, is there anything you are afraid of? Things have already reached this point. Just bravely fight with them, what's the point of care."

"You said it lightly, Yan Ning, don't you know how powerful Bailudong is, especially Master. We are confronting them head-on, and it is impossible to win."

"Bailu Cave is terrible, yes, but it makes no difference to me, because I have decided to part ways with them and have officially rebelled!"

Yin Ning said nonchalantly, but she surprised Gong Jin, but after another thought, Yan Ning was different from herself. Perhaps she had already made a decision on the top of the snowy mountain, and now naturally there is nothing Psychological burden.

On the contrary, he still has a lot of worries. Knowing that he has become a **** used and discarded by the division, he still can't make the final decision. It's really hateful, isn't he such a cowardly person?

"No, Gong Jin, you are just too sensible. You know too much about the horror of Bailudong. A person who is too sensible sometimes finds it difficult to make decisions on impulse. Rotten woman, it doesn’t matter when you are tired and die on the side of the road, but you are different, you still have a wonderful life... If you are willing to start, that’s why you hesitate."

Yin Ning smiled and said: "But, my friend, I still want to advise you, there are many choices in life, some choices you can avoid, some choices don’t have to be so urgent, but there are some... whether you Yes, you have to do it sooner or later."

Gong Jin didn't answer. Some things don't need to be written in words, just do it directly. If you don't want to let the current situation continue, then the world needs some changes.

The speed of Gong Jin's actions really made Yan Ning speechless. At the next day's combat meeting, Gong Jin turned against the usual low-key style, took the initiative to put forward his own tactical ideas, and strongly led the entire meeting.

For hundreds of years of working in Bailudong to execute and plan the change of the dynasty, Gong Jin was originally an outstanding leader with great leadership. When he got serious and went all out to give directions to the country, the leadership that he burst out was almost forgotten. The existence of Xiao Qiao as a true leader.

Xiao Qiao noticed this, and noticed that this man who was deeply trusted by herself seemed a little different, but based on that trust, she did not interfere more and let Gong Jin do everything without fear.

Although there is no way to get the latest information, given Gong Jin's deep understanding of the situation in Bailudong, the strategy he came up with can only be described as pungent.
