Tianguan Pass at the North Gate of Reins in February, 568, El Tienol

"By the way, where is our eldest lady?"

I couldn't see the figure of Ni'er, and Gengoro, who was planning to go to show his courtesy, frowned and asked Bai Qianlang, who was supervising the training situation.

"Ms. Nier went out, the direction is to Kiglu. As for what to do, I don't know."

This really makes the two of them puzzled. Nier has been running outside recently, she has a mysterious appearance, and Gengoro is not allowed to follow. Every time she comes back, she has an open eyebrow and smile, which really makes people feel that strange.

Gengoro was vaguely aware. After listening to Lancelow’s speech that day, Nier’s expression was also a little volatile. Although she didn’t know much, she at least understood that Bai Qi could never be some Eltinus spy. In other words, She knew her brother was lying. Perhaps because of this, Ni'er has been in a low mood these days, deliberately ran out of Beimen Tianguan, trying to escape something.

This guess is not wrong, and Nier is really upset about it. During the time he was far away from Jixia, his elder brother fought against the powerful enemy alone, survived in countless dangers and won, but it seemed that some changes had taken place.

If it was in the past...at least the brother in my memory, although not completely honest and not deceiving, at least it is impossible to tell lies so fluently. This time I saw him eloquently speaking beautiful words on the podium. But I can feel that even the most sincere sincerity in these words is lacking. As long as I think of these, I feel uneasy about the future.

It would be great if I could go back to Jixia immediately, but it is not possible at the moment, and Shuijing Communication can't find anyone. I don't know what the older brother is doing in Jixia City. Distracted, he had to go out and wander, head straight to Kiglu, to meet the cute little boy who makes people laugh from ear to ear.

After a few days of getting along, I get along pretty well with Soujiro. One is to give love without reservation, and the other seems to be very accustomed to accepting such love. The two people are like princesses and teddy bears, talking and laughing together all day long, full of fun.

"Soujirou, my little sister is here, are you there?"

In response to Neil's call, Soujiro on the snow hill waved his hand in excitement.

In such a snowy day, playing snow on the slopes has always been a favorite of children. Build snow walls, divide them into two camps, rub snowballs, and throw snowball fights at each other. This is the most interesting children's fun in the snowy day.

Perhaps it should be said that God's favor for handsome men and beauties, it is also a desolate snow scene, beside Soujirou, there is a different situation.

The dead branches are still swaying in the wind and snow, but after being dotted with water drops, they are connected to form long and short icicles one after another. Under the sun, they are crystal clear, reflecting a colorful halo. A forest without leaves, suddenly became a glazed castle, magnificent.

The soft snow powder, a little bit of slowly falling, riding in the wind, fell on the faces and hands of children. It should have been very cold, but because of having fun, the little red faces just look at it. When they were smiling, they scrambled to grab snowflakes from the ground, piled them into balls, and threw them toward their companions.

In this scene, Nier was happily watching, rubbing her hands and participating in it. When she was intrigued by the play, she used her innate supernatural power to gather the snowflakes on the ground into a big ball surrounded by arms, and lifted it high above the top, making the children around her stunned.

"Oh! Big Sister is amazing!"

"A lot of strength, it's not like a human being at all!"

In the exclamation that really didn't seem to be a compliment, Nier threw the snowball into the air and once again turned into a shower of snow and sprayed on the ground.

The time of having fun did not last long. The children were only from ordinary folk houses. Of course, it was impossible to have snowball fights wearing deerskin gloves like the children of the nobles in Jixia. Although they were wearing cotton-padded jackets, everyone caught the snow and tossed them empty-handed. It was really uncomfortable for a long time. When the time was close to noon, the wife just went away in a short time.

"Strange, why did everything run out all of a sudden? And... why are there fewer people than the previous two days?"

Having a good time, Nier felt a little bit unfinished, and looked at Soujiro next to her.

Since the first meeting, it has been many days. The boy who said he was waiting for the master here is still the one who hasn’t waited. Nier once doubted this, but the boy just smiled and said, "There is no What's so strange, the master used to make appointments with me, and then he came to me after a while. He said that this is a kind of practice, and it is good for me to live independently by myself."

That's what I said, but Nier didn't believe it at all. After all, I was more than half a year late. Such an explanation sounds too much like Hu Lai.

It looks like a boy who has been abandoned here, but he has not suffered the pain of being abandoned at all. The angel’s cute appearance is extremely pleasing to anyone. It’s not uncommon for people like Nier to want to be close to him as soon as they meet. The parents of those children have seen a beautiful woman. After the Wushuang little boy, he was also busy sending gifts of various colors, from snacks, pastries, warm quilts, to many small toys, and many people rushed to accept him as a relative and entertain him home to stay.

(It’s amazing, I will eat on my face in the future...)

Aside from admiration, Nier couldn't help thinking like this, but while thinking like this, she still greeted Soujirou to come over, and gave him half of the meat buns she had held in her arms.

Behind the kraft paper, the internal force turned slightly, and the cold meat steamed bun became steamy.

Looking at the boy who looked like he was afraid of being hot, he blew into his hand, brought the meat bun close to his mouth, and swallowed in small mouthfuls. Nier felt a heartwarming joy, just like seeing a perfect artwork. The touch is full of heart.

"Hey, Soujirou, why are fewer children coming to play? The weather is too cold, have they caught a cold?"

Detecting that the number of playmates has decreased, Nier asked worriedly, still wondering if she should bring some medical supplies from Tianguan Pass at Beimen.

The boy shook his head, ate the meat buns in his hands, and said casually, "No, I heard that Reins and Eltinore are going to fight recently. The people in the village were worried that they would be affected, so they started to move. "

"Fight...fight? How would they know?"

"Well...I don’t know, but I heard that the new King Reins said something, as if he was going to fight Eltinus, so everyone in Kiglu started to move... …"

"It's like this...It's really hard for them..."

As her mood changes, Nier's voice is very low. Although the elder brother’s statement a few days ago did not clearly indicate the launch of a war, any person with a minimum of mind can hear the obvious hostility in it, and it is naturally impossible for Eltinore to not know it.

Kiglu is located on the border. If war breaks out and the North Gate Tianguan is broken, this place will be the first to suffer. The place close to the border was very insecure. This is the common sense of war. In the past, Reings and Eltinore had nothing to do with each other, and there were residents here. Since the previous recruitment incident, the people of Kiglu have been harassed. Now that I realize the possibility of a war breaking out soon, I naturally rush to move away from this place of right and wrong.

When I think about it, I feel very uneasy. Although I was reluctant at the beginning, as the head of the Beimen Tianguan, my responsibility is to protect the lives of the people of Reins after the Beimen Tianguan. Property, like this, forcing the people to leave their homes away from home, I really am...

"But...you have too little confidence in people! As long as you guard the North Gate Sky Pass, the enemy will not be able to cross the border to invade Kiglu, and as long as I...well, as long as there are good generals, the North Gate Tianguan is very stable, don’t you need to be scared to move?"

"As long as you think about the possibility of a war nearby, everyone will be afraid!" Soujiro said:

"Furthermore... there is no level in the world that will never be broken. If you are too self-confident, you will eventually attract soldiers and cause trouble to everyone."

I didn't expect to hear such a mature sentence from Soujiro. Nier was surprised at first, then she took the boy into her arms and hugged it hard.

"Oh, Soujirou, you are great, you are so sensible at a young age, I am so proud of being your sister..."

"Woo...Sister, you are too strong, I can't breathe..."

As if playing with the most beloved puppet, it took a while for Nier to let go of the boy who was tightly held in her arms.

"Soujirou, who taught you these principles? Is it your master?"

"No, I figured it out myself. Every time I was left by my master and didn’t know what to do, I started thinking about things by myself, and when I thought about it, I figured out many things. Up."

"Oh, you are really promising. Just looking at you, my sister really couldn't think of you as smart."

Nier really likes this boy, but sometimes it feels weird when I think about it. It's like encountering some very precious rare and exotic animal. Watching him do some ordinary movements, he stretches out his little hand to hold the steamed bun, uses his fingers to comb the hair into bangs, and licks the scum from his lips... It is obviously nothing unusual. His little movements are so cute in my eyes.

Compared with the surrounding snow, the skin on the boy’s hands is indistinguishable white. The actual feeling of rubbing against the cheeks is more comfortable than good silk satin. It’s really hard to imagine. Boys have such soft skin. Hearing from him, he comes from an oriental country called Japan, which seems to be Gengoro’s hometown...

Well, that's weird. Does that island country specialize in handsome men and beautiful women? If this is the case, I will be a member of that country in my next life.

But...that seems to be a country of weird shemales where men are more beautiful than women. If I were born there in my next life, would it be...

Uh, don’t do it anymore. It’s good to be beautiful, but it’s too costly to get a gender unknown.

"Um...but, I still don't understand something!" Lifting his little face, the boy has a pair of extremely clear and bright eyes, "Why do we have to fight?"

Simple question, but I was stumped by Nier. At this time, she really didn't know how to answer, especially when she saw the innocent eyes, she couldn't say anything.

When I first came to Reins, I wanted to use the power of this country to fight against Eltinus. On the one hand, I was forced to have nowhere to shelter and wanted to build my own territory; on the other hand, I wanted to use Reins’ forces to counterattack. , Revenge for the dead brothers of the Forty Thieves.

But after this period of time, at first I thought that Reins' forces were too weak, not to mention that he was going to attack. Under the strong forces of Eltinus, it would be good not to subdue the country. After knowing that the five-color flag, the main combat power, was so strong, it was originally estimated that it would have changed immediately, but those people were strange and mysterious in ancient times, and they were all deliberately unpredictable, and they really didn't want to involve them too much.

But even if there are strong soldiers, what about? Is it really going to launch an army and go straight to Eltinus? In the past, maybe with a wave of anger, I could kill it directly regardless of the three or seventy-one, but now that I have gained insight, I have also begun to doubt when I see the people avoiding the war situation. For my own personal grievances, Rein is implicated. The people of Sri Lanka went in and let tens of thousands of people die. Is this really right?

When Jixia was baptized, the lives of tens of thousands of people were destroyed. Although I did not witness it with my own eyes, I saw the images and text descriptions sent, which was really miserable. If the war broke out, Ai The strong hand of Ertinuo killed him and allowed this situation to happen again, wouldn't these people wait if they were killed by themselves?

Hey...The more I think about it, the more I don't know, who is my enemy? Of course it will not be the people of El Tienor, then... are they from the Shi family and the Hua family? Is it the pig-headed emperor from Eltinus?

But, what happened to the two of them in the battle on Ku'er Mountain? However, if it doesn't matter, there is actually a little bit of confusion.

The murderer on Ku'er Mountain that day was the lizard girl in a purple shirt, and her men.

If you want revenge, you should kill someone to ascend Longshan Mountain, but I heard that she was instructed by Master Lu You again, that is to say, the old man Lu You can't get rid of the relationship, because in this way, Lu You should be included in the scope of revenge. Therefore, the entire Bailu Cave is included, and with the vast power of Bailu Cave, to be the enemy of Bailu Cave is tantamount to the entire Eltinus.

Wait...In this way, if the children of Bailudong are all enemies, then Wulian, Reins, and those in Free City who once studied in Bailudong are all enemies! Do you want to kill them all one by one? This is of course impossible, but even if you don't do it to them, when you show that you are going to pick Bailudong, will those people just smile at them?

It's so difficult to do it or not. I just want to be fair to my brothers. How come so many things are involved?

"Ah! It's annoying! It's annoying! It's a headache!"

The more I think about it, the more annoying, and all my good mood is gone. Ni'er kicked out angrily and swept the large snowflakes into the sky. Watching the sky full of snow, I felt a little relieved, but when I turned around, I found that Soujiro was nowhere to be seen next to him.

"Soujirou, where did you go..."

Looking to the left, he was surprised to find that Soujiro was squatting on the ground, reaching out into a small hole, as if to take something out.

"Soujirou, what are you doing?"

Nier approached curiously, and found Soujiro's face full of joy, holding a bunch of fluffy things in his hand, and at a glance, it looked like a black cat.

"This is..."

"Little Sister, this is Xiao Lei, I have always wanted to show it to you, but it has been hiding far away these days, and now it’s hard to let it out!"

It turned out to be a child's pet, and Nier felt calm, and when she took a closer look, she was really surprised. This black cat has a weird appearance, and it does not seem to be an ordinary cat. Under the thick black fur of the torso, obvious scars are visible. The limbs are also wrapped in white bandages. The paws on the palms and soles are longer than ordinary cats, but they curl up and will not hurt people. A pair of black wings resembling bats, although I don't know if they can fly, they look strange.

"Little Sister, I brought Xiao Lei from my hometown especially. When I went out, he had a stubborn temper and refused to follow him."

"This is...what kind of bat cat? Did you bring it from your country? I have never seen it on the mainland, so... curious."

The boy hugged the cat and rubbed the cat's back with his little face. It seemed really cute, but Nier didn't dare to reach out and touch it for some reason.

It’s also very strange. It’s just a little black cat. Although it has a pair of weird wings, it is still a small thing, but whenever Nier gets closer, she feels a tight skin, like a boy’s arms. It’s not a cat, but something highly dangerous. Especially the pair of cat pupils, as black as ink, staring at them, it feels as if they have become a deep bottomless pit, slowly sucking themselves over.

"Little sister, are you uncomfortable?"

Sonjiro asked curiously, let Nier come back to her senses, and it was funny when she thought about it. He was fooled by such a small thing, let Gengoro know that he would be ridiculed for a lifetime. Without thinking about it, he and Soujiro spoke and touched the cat's head with his hand.

"Soujirou, why is its name called Xiaolei...Ouch!"

With a cry of pain, Nier quickly closed her hand and backed away, but she was a step too late. She never thought that the cat pounced so fast. When she fell, she waved her left palm and her claws popped out. Just a few blood stains were left on Ni'er's hand, and the skin was splashed with blood, and the strength was not small. If it weren't closed quickly, maybe even a piece of meat would be hooked.

Nier had a pain, and immediately tore her clothes and wound her. Fortunately, the wound was not black or swollen, and there was no sign of poisoning. The other party is a child and a kitten, and you can't get angry at them no matter what, but when Nier raised her head with a wry smile, she happened to have a pair of eyes with the bat monster cat, and she couldn't help but feel frightened again.

After the cat was hit, a pair of round, black cat pupils showed a happy and triumphant expression. He even stuck out his bright red tongue and licked the blood from his palm little by little, even though it was a cat. , But like a lion cub who tasted blood, looking very hungry and happy.

"Little sister, it can't be like this." Soujiro smiled apologetically, and held the cat tighter in his arms. "Xiao Lei doesn't like strangers, just touch him casually. Very dangerous."

Suddenly, Nier felt a strange feeling in her heart. Soujiro is a boy who loves to laugh very much. I have known this for a long time, and I have always liked his cute appearance, but now he is injured, and he smiles so brilliantly as usual. Is he wrong?

Any child who knows a little bit of humanity and sophistication will not have such a reaction. What's more, even if they don’t understand the world, if two people are really friends, he should at least be worried and condolences when he sees his hand hurt like this. A moment, like this, smiling as if nothing happened, it’s really weird...

Thinking about this, the cat in Soujiro’s arms suddenly screamed, as if he was going to deliberately oppose his words, and tore a long blood on his hand, dripping with blood, and he knew at a glance whether it was hurt. clear.

The attack was successful, and the cat seemed very proud. He shook his head from side to side, squinting at Soujirou above, with the kind of expression he showed. If it were a person and not a cat, anyone would think it was provocative.

Seeing that the boy was injured, Nier was taken aback and rushed forward to see how he was injured. However, the injured party did not show any pain at all, but looked at the bleeding hand in confusion. , Then smiled as usual, loosened his arms, and threw the triumphant cat to the ground.

"Soujirou, you..."

Only a word was spoken, but he saw Soujiro leaping forward and folding down a thick-armed branch from above. When it fell, he strengthened his hand and smashed it towards the ground, hitting the triumphant bat. On the cat.

The branch itself is thick, and the hand strength is surprisingly large. The bat cat didn't even have time to escape, so he buries most of his body into the snow with this stick.

"Meow!"

"Xiao Lei...why..."

"Meow! Meow!"

"...why...you are so...disobedient, disobedient... ask for trouble!"

The boy’s face was always smiling, there was no pretense, no trace of anger and pain, but the start was really heavy, one stick after another, accurately smashing the cat.

It can be seen that the cat has been trying to escape from the stick, and even wants to resist. He has to pounce on Soujirou's body to tear and attack, but he has not been able to succeed, and is hit on the head by random sticks. On the body, blood splashed out after a few efforts.

"Hey... Soujirou, you... stop it!"

It wasn't until Nier who was on the side woke up from the shock and spoke to persuade him, so Soujiro stopped and picked up the dying Batcat. Calculating this cat is also considered to be resistant to fights. If you change to an ordinary cat and endure such continuous heavy blows, it will be a ball of cat meat sauce.

The wound on his hand still bleeds, but the boy doesn’t seem to feel any pain. His face is grinning. He looks at the cat in his hand with a sneer, and Nier is even more sure. What flickered in the scarred cat's eyes was a deep hatred, a resentment that vowed to retaliate in the future.

(1. How can a cat have such eyes? It has so many injuries...could it be...

...probably not...)

Shocked by her discovery, Nier looked aside, but saw that the small hole where Soujirou had mentioned the cat just now was a trap filled with sharp branches and iron bars. The blood was stained inside. Obviously this The cat was already injured when he fell, but from this position, it is just behind Soujiro’s original position, shouldn’t it...

When it tried to sneak attack from behind, it hit the trap, right?

(You, you two...Which kind of pet is this? Which kind of owner is it?)

"Little Sister, Xiao Lei is very good now and won't move anymore. Would you like to come and touch it?"

The sound is still as good as usual, but when exposed to the boy’s innocent and cute smile, the smile on Nier’s face can’t help stiffening...

The Beimen Tianguan, located on the Longteng Mountain Range, divides Reins and El Tienno on the ground into two different circles of influence. However, in the sky, snowflakes still fall and sprinkle regardless of the world. Jigelu in the east of the North Gate Tianguan also fell in the Huajia territory to the west.

Compared with the poverty of Kiglu, the people in Xuanjing do lead a better life. Although the famine and prolonged drought caused great disasters in the eastern part of Eltino, Xuanjing is a family of flowers after all. The headquarters is located, with fast transportation, it can still maintain a wealthy situation in the famine, and when the winter snow falls, the drought is also relieved.

Under such circumstances, the people’s suffering can be temporarily relieved, as long as they are worried about how to spend this winter in preparation for the spring ploughing in the coming year, but a sudden change caused the people in Xuanjing to be killed, wounded, and destroyed. , Encountered heavy snow again, immediately became the best portrayal of worsening the situation.

The main reason for this situation is the sabotage caused by the previous white incident. Although not as miserable as the great baptism in Jixia, the overall subsequent damage is more profound. The poisonous gas emitted from the Huajia headquarters in the disaster center has left the people of Xuanjing, regardless of men, women, and children, shrouded in large-scale. In the epidemic.

It's midwinter, and the official rescue work of Eltinol is slow. The noble and wealthy, who have a lot of resources, spend their energy on treating their own family members and rebuilding the manor. The common people’s illnesses seem to them. It happened in a different world. Not many people realized that if the people were killed and injured in large numbers, then if the bottom serfs in the Eltinus society were abolished, when the spring season came, there would be no more labor. Work, there is good land, and those nobles who are not capable of working can only stare at them.

It paralyzed the recovery ability of Hua’s family at one time. Bai Qi implemented this goal very thoroughly, without taking humanity into consideration at all, and striving to maximize the benefits. If this plan is not hindered, then at most one month. Within a radius of 700 miles around the Huajiazongbao, it is estimated that the population will drop by more than 50%.

In order to prevent this from happening, Hua, who is "the most conscientious and insightful man in the Hua family at the moment," can be said to be incomplete and painstaking. As the emperor’s chief guard, he visits Hua’s family non-stop. The wealthy families in the territory are asking them to provide medical and food support, and at the same time make the paralyzed administrative system work as much as possible.

The disaster relief work is not going well. The local tycoons who have been selfish and accustomed to this winter will of course want to reserve most of their resources for their own needs. The previous drought has hit them a lot. Now that we have to work hard for disaster relief, our generosity will naturally be affected.

Hao Kelian, a colleague of Huahua, has outstanding skills in detoxification. He can find out and understand poison prescriptions and formulate antidote as soon as possible. However, when all kinds of medicinal materials are scarce, mass production of antidote is difficult. Later, through Gong Jin's contact, Xu Liewu, who was far away in Wulian, ordered people to quickly transport the required medicinal materials, which allowed the mass production of the antidote to proceed.

It’s just that no antidote can completely remove the toxins, and Hao Kelian, a poison expert, is helpless for the damage that has been caused in the body. If a turning point occurs in time, a tragic mass of deaths will be required. Appears in the territory of the Hua family.

This opportunity for change is the coming of a noble man. The goddess doctor Yuqi Fenghua, who has been missing for several years and has moved the entire Continent of Wind, suddenly came to the territory of the Hua family and announced an unpaid free consultation.

Several years ago, this roving free clinic and never charged the goddess doctor was already a person highly admired by people everywhere. Now she has appeared in the Huajia territory in time. This is no less than a timely rain during a drought. Countless people who have been hovering at the moment of death bring hope.

A person's power is very limited, but this woman, listed as one of the three great doctors in the world in the secret records of the brothel, does have extraordinary skills. Originally, the fame of Yuqi Fenghua was achieved on the battlefield, and provided first aid to a large number of wounded soldiers in a very short time. If the action is not fast, only one or two people will be saved, and the rest will have died. And this time when she comes to the territory of the Hua family, she is even more Prove that he is the expert who is best at seeing large numbers of doctors in a short period of time among the three great doctors.

With the assistance of Hua Mianwei, a team of doctors was formed with Yuqi Fenghua as the leader. After her guidance and guidance, she began to organize the diagnosis and treatment work. Even though Yuxian Fenghua is willing to not accept medical fees, all kinds of medicinal materials are still a cost that the people can't afford. Fortunately, this time the owner of the Maidichi family is very interested, and all the medicinal materials delivered will be given away without any charge. If it were in the past, it might happen that the medicinal materials were detained by the rich and powerful after they arrived, and they were filled with private pockets, but it did not happen under the close monitoring of the flower incompleteness.

Through various efforts, the overall disaster situation was finally under control, but in the entire disaster relief process, the current owner of the Hua family, Hua Tianxie, did not participate at all. After he ordered all the children of the Hua family to prepare for war, he went into hiding. Most people believe that at the moment when his face is lost, he can't face his subordinates. He must be hiding in a corner to get drunk.
