lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!
The arrogant Eltinus army, in contrast to the triumph of not long ago, retreated dejectedly. Letting the number one enemy of the rebels escape is really frustrating. They have to be forced to retreat and they feel very humiliated. However, since the old man in the mountain showed his godlike power, things have nothing to do with them. It was the problem between the old man in the mountain and the moon sage, at least...the soldiers thought so.
The old old man in the future and the old old man are talking in a low voice. The two seem to be discussing something. They seem to be swearing revenge and discussing ways to save face. This time, because of the intervention of the old man in the mountains, their great cause will be defeated, and even in the future. They couldn't do anything to Gong Jin anymore, which made them very resentful, but they still had a long time to curse and plan conspiracies, and they should be able to think of something else.
The rebel group who was able to escape from the dead, walked out of Zhongdu with their own steps, and no one dared to stop them on the road. If all goes well, they can return to their positions in a month, but some of the companions who entered the Central Capital with them will never go back. Among them, they include the leaders they once respected deeply.
At the critical moment of life and death when they needed support the most, they severely abandoned the girl’s expectations. If they changed their position immediately after escaping, they would have admitted their own despicability, which they couldn’t bear, so they both left in the process of leaving. Along the way, they still unscrupulously gave Xiao Qiao hostility and spitting. If it weren't for the old man who escorted the team, they would even throw stones.
When this team left Zhongdu, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin left the team, and Yan Ning continued to lead the team down. Of course, they chose this method because they were rejected, but on the other hand, this is also the condition for the elderly in the mountains to help them.
"Thank you, senior. In the past, the juniors followed the master, and once heard him admire you, saying that the sword skills of the old man in the mountain are unique in the world..."
"Nothing? Nothing is nothing. Nothing. Don't talk nonsense. I am the head of the "Go to Die Brigade", known as Meister? Yoda, not an old man in the mountains, don't just talk nonsense. Relationship, or I will send someone to kill your whole family at once!"
I know that this angrily old man is unreasonable. Gong Jin only finds it funny. He seems to have intentionally competed with the White Army Emperor for the title of "The First Terrorist in the Continent of Wind." The killer's occupational disease?
But it is undeniable that everyone in Zhongdu City, including Gong Jin himself, is absolutely respectful and afraid of this green monkey-like old man, otherwise they would never have the opportunity to leave here. .
"Then, I will ask directly."
Speaking straightforwardly, it's not ceremonial, but it's the other party's favorite way of talking. Gong Jin asked directly why the other party had to save her life.
"Help you? You made a mistake. It was all by the way to save you all. I was only entrusted by the master of this girl doll to prevent her precious apprentices from dying."
The answer of the old man in the mountain really surprised Gong Jin, and he couldn't figure it out anyway. The magical master behind Xiao Qiao was not only able to connect with the Baizi family, but he could actually invite him. It’s not easy for the old man in the mountains to rescue him!
"However, although my intention to come here has nothing to do with you, your little hairy fits my temper, and I won't let you die. Well, although you and I don’t have the fate of being a master or apprentice, you do It’s a good piece of material. What’s wrong with Lu You’s head, he treats you like this, really..."
Speaking of the changes with the teacher, this is a topic that Gong Jin is quite unwilling to touch, so he quickly turned the topic, and once again thanked the savior.
"Yin Ning...you can only ask her. She is more domineering and more decisive than me, and she will be more suitable to be a leader than me."
Even if forced to leave the coalition forces, Xiao Qiao still cares about the people there. In the process of governing the coalition army, she always knew her shortcomings, but was unable to change it, and Yan Ning had the advantages that she couldn't. If the coalition army was commanded by Yan Ning, she would definitely be better than when she was in power.
This was Xiao Qiao's idea, but Gong Jin couldn't agree, because she knew Yan Ning far better than Xiao Qiao. Although she was more domineering and ruthless than Xiao Qiao, she was not a leader. Yan Ning's vision and planning ability were unable to successfully control a huge organization of hundreds of thousands. If the coalition leaders were to be taken over by her in the future, the consequences would be quite worrying.
Nevertheless, Gong Jin didn't remind Xiao Qiao. He didn't want her to worry too much about it, and now there is nothing more important than saving her life.
It’s just that, although their lives are saved, Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao’s future are at a loss, because the old man in the mountain made a promise to the world in exchange for the safety of both of them, that is, they will never ask the world.
Gong Jin is a strong-willed man, Xiao Qiao has never been an obedient woman, no matter from which point of view, they will not succumb to the arrangements of the old man in the mountain, let alone accept the kindness of Master Xiao Qiao. However, as far as the actual situation is concerned, they are indeed taboo by the world. No matter which camp they are, they are regarded as mortal enemies. As for the few relatives and friends of Xiao Qiao, in order to avoid encumbering them, Xiao Qiao cannot even go to defect.
So... where do we go from now on?
"It doesn't matter, the world is so big, there will always be a place to go."
Gong Jin comforted Xiao Qiao in this way. He had a similar mood a few days ago, but now he has only changed from one fugitive to two. The number has increased, but the situation has not changed at all.
Gong Jin did not act separately from Xiao Qiao. After a series of life and death tribulations, both of them have a tacit understanding that needless to say, that is, the future of each other should overlap a large part, and now they are going to join hands. Looking for the future.
Both parties were at a loss for their future for a while. In fact, they didn’t have much time to think. The serious injuries to each other had reached the point where they had to be treated. Kana got on a carriage heading northwest, preparing to visit The Hague in the northwest.
However, the lives of men and women always seem to be full of miscalculations. Since the injuries of both sides were very serious, the consciousness was not very clear during the process of healing, and the person who was supposed to be responsible for the vigilance was also exhausted and fainted. In this case, the two were able to go without incident. Unbelievable, but there is bound to be an error at the end of the journey.
When Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin finally regained consciousness in the carriage, the carriage had reached the end of the last stop, a desolate town called Urumqi, with only dozens of people in the town, either dying of sickness or dying of old age. Dead, I can’t see half a young man and half a new house. It is said that there was a short-term prosperity due to mining a hundred years ago. However, with the poverty of minerals, it is now a dead town. Except for the tourists who got lost here, Only the pioneers who want to continue to expand the wasteland to the west and pass by this place.
The place is desolate, but the scenery is majestic and magnificent. The mountains surrounding it are huge rocks. The standard limestone topography allows green plants to grow only halfway up the mountain. The bare rocky peaks reflect a magnificence under the setting sun. Red is really pretty.
"Urumqi...what a weird place, Brother Yu, why did we come here?"
Living in the wilderness, Xiao Qiao’s mood seemed unaffected by the desolation, and he asked Gong Jin enthusiastically. Perhaps because of this, a smile appeared on Gong Jin’s face, and he simply replied unhappily. .
"It's not clear, the coma is the main cause, but...you can also say that it is fate."
Fate is undoubtedly a good explanation. For two people who are trying to learn to accept fate, this barren town is still a good place to stay, because it is too far away from the middle of El Tienor, even to the nearest place. The civilized zone has to climb over several mountains; what is happening in El Tienno now, to the old people in this small town, is as far away as another world, and they don’t care why the men and women came here. Here.
Since they decided to stay, the two must find a place to live. Gong Jin wanted to take the responsibility of a man at first and get out of a wooden house. What is helpless is that although Gong Jin is arrogant in martial arts and has excellent literary talents, Bailudong never taught him the skill of carpentry. As a result, when the pile of wood that was hard to piece together, it turned into one in a bang. Gong Jin scratched his head in annoyance, not knowing where he had done wrong.
Little Qiao is not much better there. Since Gong Jin is in charge of building the house, she wants to try to wash her hands and make soup. Since she didn't want to kill casually, after borrowing the pot, she collected wild vegetables from the surrounding mountains and wanted 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 ran by, inhaled the vapor from the soup, and fainted on the spot, paralyzed and unable to move.
Why does wild vegetable soup have such unexpected effects? Xiao Qiao really can’t say it, so she can only reluctantly explain. Perhaps the plants here are not the same as martial arts. Seventeen or eight kinds of plants are cooked together, and incomprehensible chemical effects occur... God knows why, she has never done it herself before. Cooked.
As a result, when Gong Jin came back with a sorry expression and gave him half of the roasted hare; the considerate Gong Jin did not ask why Xiao Qiao made an exception, but only ate the half of the hare with a slightly peculiar smell. clean.
This is the first meal for the two of them to start a new life.
But the first night after the meal was not easy. The two people who were planning to sleep in the wild encountered a heavy thunderstorm once a year. They only ran back to the town in embarrassment. When Xiao Qiao returned the pot, he was kind The old man of, took in this pair of young men and women who looked like a mess.
The old man’s house is very dilapidated. The guest room used as a warehouse has only a small wooden bed. The two wet people can only hug each other and spend the night on that bed.
The next day, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin re-engaged in actions that were familiar with the environment. Gong Jin continued to cut down trees to build a house, and accidentally found bear footprints in the forest; Xiao Qiao helped the illiterate old people in the town read the novel, so he switched to some vegetables and meat.
Smart people learn everything quickly. On the evening of the second day after arriving here, the two built their own house and cooked dinner to celebrate the completion in the house. When Xiao Qiao hesitated in which room he should sleep in after dinner, Gong Jin clumsily held her hand, and in a hesitant tone, asked her for a marriage contract.
"Um... well, I am willing."
I didn't think about it for too long, so Xiao Qiao answered Gong Jin like this. Although the matter came a little bit suddenly, she felt as if she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
In this way, the two newly settled men and women in Urumqi decided to settle their lives here. This is really big news for the long-lost town. The old people sent congratulations one after another, and it was really lively, but compared to the status and popularity of the men and women, this wedding was still too much. Shabby.
The girl who became the bride didn’t even have a decent dress. She was just wearing her dusty green dress, holding a bouquet of clean flowers, smiling and standing there, welcoming the one who would become her husband. the man.
"Xiao Qiao, do you... do you feel regretful?"
Knowing that his wife will not be greedy for vanity and luxury, Gong Jin still asks so quietly, since he has become a husband, he feels that he should take the responsibility, and using such a shabby and crude way to accomplish major events in life, he consciously Yu has a guilty conscience.
"No! The so-called weddings, as long as there are men and women who truly join hands for the rest of their lives, and sincerely bless their guests, isn’t that enough? The external form is not important, and... I don’t like to connect My own wedding will be noticed by a bunch of people."
Little Qiao’s tone of voice could not hear any unpleasantness, but she did not even think that it seemed difficult for her to be unnoticed for her wedding.
A beautifully tailored and elegantly designed wedding gown was delivered before Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin were about to bow. Although the person who sent it deliberately concealed his identity, Gong Jin stared at the black gauze dress and was shocked. He never knew in the past that at auspicious wedding banquets, any girl would go to the auditorium in all black costumes, even Jewelry is black jade and black pearl.
The weird attire, Gong Jin even thought it was some kind of curse, but the bride held up the wedding dress in surprise and joy, and gently whimpered, as if she had received a priceless treasure. When Gong Jin saw tears in Xiao Qiao's eyes, he knew that this dress must have some allusions.
"This is... the dress that Master prepared before, the dowry her family prepared for her... When I was a child, she used to open these dowries and look at them all night... This black pearl ring, I told her After begging many times, she refused to give it to me, but...now she..."
Seeing Xiao Qiao moved to tears, Gong Jin felt that he didn't need to ask more, this was indeed a very precious gift.
Gifts are not only for the bride, but also for the groom as an express gift. A courier from Daxueshan gave Gong Jin a brand new white dress. The old man in the mountain would care about his wedding. Gong Jin thought it was incredible, but he couldn’t deny that the full suit, which imitated the marshal’s dress, stood in front of the auditorium, matching Xiao Qiao’s dress. The look is indeed very good-looking.
The wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. As long as Xiao Qiao can show off his face, let alone this formal uniform, Gong Jin is willing to wear it even in the clown suit, because he thinks it is his responsibility.
When Gongjin stood in front of the auditorium, watching Xiao Qiao show up.
Gong Jin didn’t know how long he stayed, but it wasn’t until Xiao Qiao came to him with the bouquet, and after a light push, that he really woke up, and under the guidance of people, with Xiao Qiao Salute to the wedding.
In the whole process, Gong Jin was very quiet and didn't say much. A few months ago, he didn’t believe that things like marriage would happen to him. But when this matter came true from his imagination, he vowed to fulfill his responsibility and never let the girl beside him suffer. hurt.
Because Gong Jin's will to protect is so strong, although he closed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, Xiao Qiao still noticed his mood from his unusually stiff movements, and smiled unconsciously. This man who has been guarding himself is not like the perfect husband in ordinary girls' dreams, but like a hound 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. There were no other outsiders attending the wedding, and no one would disturb the wedding. Even if there were, they were all When approaching the Baili range of Urumqi, it was wiped out and turned into smoke and dust.
The couple are not so dull that they know nothing about it, so even though they don’t see familiar faces in the guest group, they still feel as if they are surrounded by a group of relatives and elders, and they end up a lifetime in silent blessings. .
A series of congratulatory gifts were sent after the two had finished their wedding. Since they guessed that the two of them might refuse the actual gifts of gold, silver and jewelry, the gifts they sent were all quite strange things.
Guarantee durable and shatter-resistant porcelain bowls and plates, and ensure the shortest possible time to cook hand-written notes... When Xiao Qiao opened the box, she saw the **** nightgown with hollowed out almost every inch of fabric, and she felt like herself His face has never been so red.
Gifts are not just for the bride. Gong Jin also received inexplicable gifts. The most weird one was a gift from martial arts, one hundred and twenty dozens made of some kind of biological fetal membrane. The finished thin set is accompanied by an instruction manual to ensure that if you follow the method, the newlyweds will never be disturbed by unexpected children.
In order to express thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness, the gift-giver also gave a bottle of ointment in addition to this gift. The instructions explain that this pot of ointment has been blessed and prepared by a witch doctor, when both men and women want children. , Absolutely guaranteed to succeed in one fell swoop.
Holding the film in his left hand and the ointment in his right, Gong Jin only felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. He was so embarrassed that he could barely speak with hot steam coming out of his brain. However, from Xiao Qiao's eyes, Gong Jin's expression at this time was simply fierce.
If you don’t care about him, this man who seems to be clever in everything may be like a big stupid cow, standing there all night, wasting a good night, so Xiao Qiao had to sigh. Let her husband put down the two things on his hands, and return to the hut with the red note with himself.
The bridal chamber is warm in spring, and the daughter of a good night, on this night, they have each other, although they still don’t know where the future is going, but the hands that are entangled together give them confidence, no matter what they are going to face What is the thing, they have to go hand in hand.
When the night came to an end, Gong Jin hugged Xiao Qiao and felt the body temperature of his newlyweds. His heart was filled with inexplicable touch and warmth. It was something he had never had since his birth, just when he wanted to be serious. When I said a few words to my wife, there was a strange noise outside the door, and the last batch of gifts came before dawn.
Gong Jin went to the door to fetch things, and put them on the bed. Inside that envelope, there were two welcome coupons, both of which were made of gold, with silver thread pierced in words, and they were expensive and extraordinary. As for the content of the coupons, they were unremarkable. They were just two ordinary hot spring coupons. .
There is no name written on the envelope. This is a common feature of all gift givers. They keep it secret for fear of incurring unnecessary trouble, but from the shallow four-character mark of "World Conquest" on the envelope, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin All understand who this is a gift from.
"The White Army Emperor also sent something. I don't know what the mystery is about these two coupons."
"Don't worry about it..."
Xiao Qiao smiled and accepted the coupon, curiously trying to see the content of the coupon, but after reading the above text, his expression began to be strange. Although there is no clear address to refer to, the place described on the coupon seems to be only a short half-mile away.
"Little Joe, do you think...is this place very close to us?"
"It's really close, but...within a hundred miles, there is no hot spring!"
Xiao Qiao's memory is not wrong. Within a hundred miles of Urumqi, let alone there are no hot springs, there are not even half of volcanoes. Several conditions for the formation of a hot spring are not met here. The location stated on the invitation ticket should only be a barren mountain and dense forest, and there is no possibility of other things.
But the husband and wife both thought that the White House was an evil force that specialized in turning the impossible into possible, so when they stood in front of the newly opened luxurious hot spring in that pool, they watched the steam rising upwards. Mao, in fact, didn't feel much surprise in his heart, but felt like saying, "Ah, they did it."
The marble steps, the pool bottom carved out of a whole piece of large white jade, surrounded by pebbles, colorful crystals, and emeralds, to create beautiful patterns one after another, or historical poems, or stories of gods and monsters. , There is so much literature, in the eyes of Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao, each of these hot spring pools is a supreme treasure.
There is not only one hot spring pool, and the water temperature of each pool is different, there are hot and warm, and cold springs that are so cold that people are freezing; in addition, some pools are floating with different petals, and the fragrance of flowers is hot. The water vaporized a strong fragrance; some pools exuded the aroma of wine, and a few one or two exuded the smell of herbs.
The Bai family’s abilities are really vast, no wonder that Bailudong has been regarded as a thorn in the eye for more than a thousand years. If it were not for the repeated suppression of the gods in the sword, the Bai family might have dominated the land of wind. Up.
Looking at the luxurious hot springs in front of him, Gong Jin felt this way, but Xiao Qiao seemed to feel much more relaxed than him, and he did know how to enjoy life better than her husband.
With a sound, when Gong Jin woke up from thinking, Xiao Qiao had jumped into a hot spring floating with rose petals, floating in the pool water.
Gong Jin looked at this scene, filled with happiness, his wife's active beauty full of vitality, and the pleasant laughter that put aside the annoyance, always made him feel good to be alive.
"Brother Yu!"
Although he was married, Xiao Qiao did not change his name for her husband, and Gong Jin had no intention of correcting this, so he asked his wife to call him according to this name.
"I just had an idea!"
Peeking out of the hot spring pool, with black and fine hair, Xiao Qiao summoned her husband as if 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 unexpected. In that case, should we play bigger this time and see if the result will be What's it like?"
Gong Jin did not object. At this moment, he will agree to all the requirements of his wife.
For many people, Urumqi, located in the barren mountains northwest of El Tienuo, is a place full of legends.
Two and a half years ago, there was a well-known barren place. It was the end of the entire northwestern land transportation. Even if the carriage and business travel arrived here, even if it was the end, no one would think about this long-term coverage of yellow sand. Small town, there are any deep memories.
The magnificent rocky mountains, flying yellow sand, green needles and pine, shabby and old buildings, this is what people think of Urumqi. However, when people come to this town again after two and a half years, their first action is definitely to rub their eyes first, and they can't believe what they see.
Walking out of the brand-new carriage inn, on both sides of the clean and spacious avenue, there are tall pines and cypresses planted all over, swaying to the people who first came to this town, washing the souls of travelers with verdant greenness; red bricks are paved with people There are various shops and restaurants on both sides of the street where people come and go. While selling a variety of goods, they also provide food from various countries for business travelers visiting here.
The aroma of roasted venison, the unique spicyness of curry lamb brain, and the smell of roast beef intestines spread on the streets of Urumqi at noon. Restaurants with different tastes and cuisines also provide a variety of privately brewed wines. With his own cooking, every pedestrian who passed by was salivated, and even his stomach pouch convulsed.
Not only is the variety of restaurants present, but also the shops on the street. Mainly fur merchants and wine merchants, Urumqi sells the most beautiful and bright furs, as well as the rich and intoxicating grapes and wines. These two products are well-known far and wide, so that groups of merchants come from thousands of miles away to purchase , A change of hands is several times the spread.
The endless stream of horse-drawn carriages has brought a group of people with gold waists. In addition to a large number of purchases, they also sell products from other places here, which indirectly rejuvenates the prosperity of Urumqi, and it shouldn’t even appear. The fresh produce here is sold at a fair price in the shop.
Walking through the academies, banks, yamen, temples, and art galleries in the town, these are enough to represent the civilization and prosperity of this place. The old people who have been to Urumqi are also surprised and do not understand why the desolate town has changed so ; And newcomers who have never been here will be even more surprised, unable to guess how such a beautiful and highly prosperous city was built in the barren land of the northwest.
This question is easy to answer. The running hall in the restaurant, the students in the academy, the treasurer in the bank, and everyone in this city are happy to tell new arrivals that ninety-nine percent 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 you consider the collateral for borrowing, then even the land of temples and yamen belong to them.
The couple came to Urumqi two and a half years ago. With correct vision and careful execution, they quickly gave the town new life, developed and created miracles. Today, the couple did not live in the town, but moved to a hot spring hotel half a mile outside the town, where they run a high-end hotel of the highest quality in the northwest.
"I can't imagine that Master Gong Jin actually...but, it seems that I didn't come wrong."
A newly arrived traveler in Urumqi, after asking the location of the hotel of the Ming Zhou couple, nodded with emotion, and then disappeared into the crowd.
