After Chen Chao left Bailu Prefecture, he had already started heading north again. This time he returned south. By now, all the things he had to do had been completed. Regarding the important matter of human spies, since they had been entrusted to Chixin Guan, Chen Chao

If there is no way to interfere, there should be no serious problems if Chixinguan and the guarding envoys join forces in the future.

However, Chen Chao didn't go very fast this time on his northward trip. On the way, he actually had some thoughts on taking a good look at the Daliang Dynasty.

It’s not that I have any other thoughts, I just feel that after this trip to the north, it will be difficult to come back.

Facing the current situation, he has long been prepared to die for his country. Death does not matter, as long as he can win.

Therefore, Chen Chao's mood was not too heavy along the way. He stopped and walked and soon arrived at the border of Weizhou.

Chen Chao has always had deep feelings for Weizhou. In his heart, he probably prefers to regard Weizhou as his hometown. That small courtyard in a remote small county is probably the most comfortable place for him to stay in these years.

place.

In those years, I would go out to kill monsters from time to time, and when I had free time, I would have late-night snacks with the county magistrate Mi Ke. Although Mi Ke is smooth in dealing with things, he is indeed not a first-rate corrupt official. Now in the capital of God,

As an official, I heard that my official reputation is quite good, but I am a little older. If I were younger, I might not be able to become a prime minister if I stay a few more years.

It's just that Mi Ke never thought that he would reach that point in his life, and he feels that the current situation is very good.

Chen Chao felt a little emotional. After parting ways in Tianqing County, the two met again in Shendu, but they had so many things to do afterwards that they actually didn't even sit down to have a good supper.

Thinking about those miscellaneous things, Chen Chao walked through most of Weizhou, and finally came to a ferry. Going north here is to set foot on the border of Changping Prefecture, and then go further north, which is the northern border of New Liuzhou.

Standing in front of the ferry, Chen Chao looked calm.

Ever since he watched the little girl named Xie Ying die in his arms, Chen Chao would think about a question every time he went to the ferry.

That is, it would have been better if I had escorted Xie Ying to Bailu Prefecture.

This matter has always been Chen Chao's inner demon for a long time. Although he is relieved now, he has not forgotten the matter. Every time he thinks about it, he will feel a little depressed.

Although in the Liang Dynasty, people used to be eaten by monsters in the mountains and forests every day, there was still a big difference between seeing them and not seeing them.

Just when Chen Chao was a little distracted, a ferry had docked, and many people got off the boat. Some of them were obviously traveling together. After a few people got off the boat, they originally planned to go southeast, but

After walking a few steps, a woman in a plain robe looked at the back of a figure in the distance and said, "Look, that person looks like the guardian envoy."

The other people didn't even turn around to look and started laughing. One man laughed and said, "Wu Yi, you really miss me so much?"

Different from the man's joking statement, the other woman was much more considerate when she spoke, "This is human nature. Now there are even rumors in the North that Fairy Litang also admires the Lord Guardian very much, but

But it’s just unrequited love.”

"Haha, if another man had treated Fairy Litang like this, I, Xu, would definitely have scolded her for being ungrateful, but since I am the guardian envoy, then... I am truly worthy of being the guardian envoy!"

The man laughed loudly, and his words also made everyone laugh.

"Xu Yin, why do I remember that you were a rebellious young man in the early years? Why do you feel so admirable when you mention the guardian envoy now?"

Another young man in a green shirt spoke. His name was also coincidentally called Li Qingshan.

Xu Yin smiled and said: "Is there a second person in the world who can actually drive the Demon Emperor out of Daliang? Is there a second person who can fight one against three on the battlefield? Of course I admire such a person. But I still

I kept saying, if that guy Hai Qing is still here..."

At this point, Xu Yin's voice became softer, and he said softly with some sadness: "I would have gone too far."

When it comes to Hai Qing, these people are not in high spirits.

"Let's go."

Wu Yi sniffed first, pretending to be relaxed and said: "We'll talk about it after we've done it."

The other people nodded and were about to move forward when the young man who had only been seen from behind had turned around and looked at the people here.

Looking at the back was just a guess before, and he didn't actually think about it. Now that he saw the face, Wu Yi was stunned for the first time.

"Guardian envoy..."

When the other people heard this, they also looked over there, and sure enough they saw a young man in black shirt looking at them with a smile.

"Lord Guardian Envoy!"

Xu Yin spoke first, a little excited.

Chen Chao walked towards them and said with a smile: "Fairy Huang, Fairy Wu, Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Li, long time no see."

These people were the same people whom I had met before under the pseudonym Chen Ling of Chen Chao in Beidi. Of course, they all knew my identity later.

In Qingyue Mountain, Chen Chao once said that if the demon clan breaks through the Great Wall of the North, he will be the first person in the Kingdom of Death. At that time, many monks felt their blood boiling and left the North for the North.

That was how these people were at that time, but there were seven of them at that time, and now...

Chen Chao frowned, "Xianzi Han, Fellow Daoist Hai and Fellow Daoist Zuo?"

Xu Yin's eyes were gloomy and he was speechless.

Huang Ying then said softly: "The first time the demon clan attacked the city, Hai Qing, Han Chan and Zuo Mu died on the top of the city."

Chen Chao remained silent.

Hai Qing, a close disciple of the Qianhu Sect's leader, is a pure guy who is regarded by the Qianhu Sect as the next leader. The same is true for Zuo Mu, who is also regarded as the successor of the Snow Mountain Sect.

Compared with these two men, Chen Chao actually had a deeper impression of Han Chan. This was not because she was a woman, but because she was a rare woman with an extremely forthright personality. She even thought about being with Chen Chao.

A guard envoy compares his sword skills.

When we said goodbye that day, no one thought it would be the last time we saw each other.

"A few of them sacrificed their lives for the country, and I admire them very much."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "At this moment, I can only say these polite words."

Li Qingshan, who had always been silent, said: "Hai Qing, that stupid guy, was still saying before he died that the Lord Guardian did not hide behind us, but stood in front of us. Just for this reason, Hai Qing...

Qing will die without regrets."

"Han Chan said that her biggest regret is that she was unable to stab the Guardian Envoy."

Huang Ying's eyes were moist and she could hardly speak.

They were the ones who stayed with these two people when they were dying. As for Zuo Mu, he died during the war without leaving any last words.

Chen Chao said: "I, the court, and the people will all remember them."

Xu Yin wiped his face and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not. Anyway, we did this voluntarily. It is not aggrieved to die in the north. If you feel sad, you will only feel that you have not killed enough monsters."

!”

Huang Ying glanced at Chen Chao, changed the question and asked: "The guardian envoy is traveling alone, is he going to return to the north?"

When they went south, they also heard a lot of things along the way, including the destruction of Yinshan Mountain in Yingzhou. All of this was done by the guardian envoy.

"After we finish our work, we have to return to the north. The situation there is still a bit dangerous."

Chen Chao asked: "What about you?"

"We are going to Huanglongzhou now, and then we will return to the north."

Wu Yi said: "That stupid guy from Haiqing is from Huanglongzhou. He has always wanted to return to his roots. We brought his bones back, which can be regarded as fulfilling his dream. However, this guy was obviously born in Jianqi.

It doesn’t make sense that he is not a swordsman in a rich place.”

In the early years, they had been joking that there were too many strange things in the world, but Hai Qing was obviously born in Huanglong Prefecture, but Li Qingshan, who was born in Bailu Prefecture, was not a scholar, but a swordsman.

At that time, Hai Qing could only smile innocently, and Li Qingshan probably ignored it.

The rest of the people would laugh together.

I just thought it was unusual at the time.

Xu Yin said: "I came back this time to take a look at my hometown. Even if I come back, I will die after that, so I won't bother you."

Wu Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think that if you die, we will treat you like that piece of wood from Hai Qing?"

Huang Ying smiled slightly. She had long been accustomed to the bickering between the two people, so she didn't speak to them.

But Chen Chao looked at them and said: "If possible, try to live as much as possible."

Li Qingshan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, we have already seen through such matters as life and death."

Xu Yin quickly waved his hands and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I still don't want to die, but sometimes I have to die."

Chen Chao smiled, changed the subject and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, have you seen Yu Xiyi at the top of the city this time?"

Li Qingshan nodded, "I've seen him from afar, but I haven't been able to talk to Yu Dajianxian."

Chen Chao smiled and said: "This time when I return to the northern border and meet that guy Yu Xiyi, I will talk to him and try to get you two to sit down and have a drink together."

"That doesn't matter. I just hope that Sword Immortal Yu can use his sword to kill a few more demon lords, so as to bring face to our group of sword cultivators."

Li Qingshan thought for a while and said: "If possible, the guardian envoy could mention to Sword Immortal Yu that there is a swordsman named Li Qingshan who fought alongside him at the top of the northern city."

Chen Chao nodded.

Wu Yi suddenly spoke weakly, "Lord Guardian, can I make a request?"

Chen Chao smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Lord Guardian, can you give me a message to that Guanzhu Yun? Just say... just say that Wu Yi has always liked him."

Wu Yi's face was a little red, but now he mustered up the courage to say such words.
