The black horse pulled the black carriage and drove straight south. The horses' hooves left two rows of shallow pools of blood, and the wheels left two deeper blood grooves.

Probably because he was used to it, the strong smell of blood was no longer as pungent as before. The grass on the ground had been trampled to pieces by human feet and horse hooves, and was half-cooked by the blood. The black horse snorted dissatisfiedly, as if complaining about humans.

The war wasted too much food.

Not long after walking, the sound of horse hooves came from behind again. This time it was very urgent, but there was only one horse. Yu Ye looked back and found that Xun Hu was chasing after him alone. The horse under his crotch stepped on the blood in the soil.

splashing around.

Stopping the carriage, Yu Ye was secretly on guard. Dong Zang and Xu Qing'an in the carriage did not have guns this time. No matter how good their martial arts skills were, they were just ordinary people. There was no need to touch those black guys. One bullet would save one.

It’s broken.

Xun Hu caught up to the carriage and stopped. He took out a small sign from his waist and handed it to Yu Ye. He said with a smile: "I forgot about it just now. If you are going to Qingjing and don't have a place to stay, please come.

Rest in the general's mansion. There are many maids and servants in the mansion, and there are many quiet rooms, so it will definitely make several immortal guests feel at home."

Yu Ye thought for a moment and took the sign with a smile: "Okay, if you get to Qingjing, I will make some noise."

Xun Hu beamed with joy, laughed boldly and rode away. It could be heard from the laughter that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The wooden sign was old. One side was engraved with the character Xun, and the other side was engraved with a painting. With a few strokes, it could be seen that it was a soldier with a sword riding on an upright horse. Yu Ye started laughing when he saw it.

.Hand the sign into the window: "It turns out it's a famous brand, Vuitton and Paul, or maybe Napoleon once traveled here."

He once stole that famous painting with his own hands. He was deeply impressed by it. It was "Napoleon Crossing the St. Bernard Pass in the Alps".

Dong Zang also laughed, put away the sign, opened the curtain and asked Yu Ye: "I always feel that when you talk to Commander Xun, although your words are polite, your tone has a condescending feeling. Is this intentional?"

"Of course! If you keep being polite to him and speak sincerely, he will be embarrassed, and he is afraid that we are just ordinary people. He has been fooled, but he dare not test it for fear of offending the cultivators." Yu Ye took out his cigarette case.

, hesitated for a moment and put it back in his pocket. The smell here is really bad. It’s a waste of tobacco.

Dongzang sighed: "I didn't expect that powerful people are so afraid of cultivators. He commands so many soldiers, and with the dead ones, he can be regarded as an officer at the level of a regiment commander on earth. I can see that when he sees you

It's like a soldier meeting the commander."

Yu Ye nodded: "When soldiers see cultivators, they are not as afraid as ordinary people, but respect Juduo, because every army must bring several cultivators with them. The purpose is to guard against and balance the enemy's camp.

There are cultivators on both sides of the battle. The soldiers have peace of mind when fighting. They don’t have to worry about cultivators on the other side taking action against them. That’s why Xun Hu invited us over and over again when he saw us. I won’t go to them.

The military camp is also based on this reason. Our strength is low and we are better off hiding from cultivators when we see them."

Dongzang suddenly realized: "But you said that cultivators can't just kill ordinary people. Soldiers are also ordinary people!"

"As long as they don't go against their true intentions, if ordinary people kill too many people, the calamity will be more severe. Besides, cultivators don't know how to kill small soldiers. If they want to kill soldiers, they will definitely kill officers. Once they kill someone like Xun Hu,

His Tarui camp was leaderless. Cultivators were raised in the army mainly for defense rather than attack. They could also help deal with assassins when encountering them. In fact, even the palace also raised cultivators to prevent the emperor from being attacked.

Assassination, this custom of the army was learned from the imperial palace." Yu Ye explained patiently.

Dongzang nodded, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "But you killed so many people on earth..."

Yu Ye said nonchalantly: "The earth is the earth, and the Tianji Continent is the Tianji Continent. The disasters there should not reach here. When I really want to overcome the disasters, I will come here. Besides, if they are really connected, if the heavens and

The tribulation is too terrifying, so can I just use the "Nirvana Mahayana" technique to become an ordinary person? As long as the black elixir is not broken, I don't need to survive the tribulation."

After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Besides, you must be overthinking. Can I practice to the stage of transcending tribulation? If you tell me, it will make other cultivators laugh coldly, even if it is thousands of years like Qianyulou

A genius who has just met does not dare to pat his chest and say that he can cultivate to the stage of transcending tribulation. That is too far away. Being able to reach the integration stage is equivalent to being a peak heaven-level expert in the Hidden Sect. There are many people in the Hidden Sect.

Counting them down, there are only a few of them, and besides, I don’t have that big of a wish. It would be great if I could successfully take revenge and go back successfully.”

As they chatted, the carriage gradually drove out of the battlefield, and the air suddenly became fresher. The carriage was heading south. The south wind was blowing this season, and the smell of blood was blown behind it. The black horse was happy.

He neighed, lowered his head and gnawed on the weeds.

Xu Qingan never spoke. She could hear and speak, but her attention was completely focused on her practice.

Probably infected by Xu Qing'an's concentration, in the next few days, Dongzang also began to practice what Yu Ye thought was a bit crazy. He ate two meals a day, slept for an hour, and spent the rest of his time practicing.

A week later, a town appeared in the distance. Black Horse ate a lot of night grass during this period. Although he was tired, he gained weight. Yu Ye also gained weight, being fed by Dong Zang and Xu Qing'an.

Dong Zang is about to break through to the sixth level of Qi training. Xu Qingan has practiced hard and reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi training in just one week. He is only one step away from breaking through to the sixth level of Qi training. Yu Ye has also been able to break through to the sixth level of Qi training in this period of time.

While practicing, he just doesn't have the support of true energy, so he gets tired easily and takes much more rest time than the two girls. However, he is estimated to have broken through to the foundation building stage and officially became a cultivator.

The town's name is "Baohe", which is the northernmost city of Qing Dynasty. It is also the most important supply station for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition and is heavily guarded.

Seeing a lone carriage approaching, the sergeants guarding the city wall all fired their crossbows and aimed at the carriage, but no arrows were released.

Yu Ye squinted his eyes, looked up at the city guard above the city wall, and opened the heavy city gate with just one sentence: "Go back to the south, I was passing by."

The city guard came out with a group of officials, drove the carriage to the door of the most upscale inn in the city, and settled the three of them down.

When Yu Ye was walking on the street, he noticed that in addition to the soldiers stationed in the city, the people he met were all older, both men and women. The youngest was probably in his fifties and was a disabled person.

There was not a single young man or child in the city.

There was a war going on in the north, so it was not surprising that strong men were dragged away to fight. The problem was that it was impossible not to see a woman or a child, and I had never heard of the strong men being taken to arrest women and children.

In the evening, the three of them were invited to the Taihe Building, the largest building in Baohe Town. The city guard personally helped them wash away the dust, but there was no need to wash the dust for them. Dong Zang and Xu Qing'an had not been able to take a bath for a week, and they were already suffocated, so they were very violent in the inn.

After a thorough cleansing, no matter how important cultivation is, it may not be more important to a girl than taking a bath.

After taking a bath, the two women were in high spirits. They were already beautiful. In addition, they had just taken a bath and had some cultivation foundation. Their energy and spirit had reached their peak. They were so beautiful that Yu Ye was a little distracted, but the others were not.

They were not as embarrassed as him because no one dared to stare at them.

During the dinner, Yu Ye asked about the strange phenomena in Baohe Town.

The city guard was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he heard Yu Ye's question, he smiled bitterly and said: "Where can a strong man catch women and children, let alone the emperor, even if General Xun sees that there are female soldiers or soldiers in his camp?

Child soldiers, they will probably kill me with their own hands! The men between thirty and fifty-five years old in Baohe Town did go into battle to kill the enemy, but those under thirty did not join the army. Instead, they all went to Qingdu.

On the way now."

"Qingdu?" Yu Ye tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked: "What big thing happened? Even if there is a big thing, there is no need to go all the way, right?"

"Uh... you don't know?" The city guard was stunned for a moment: "The general election, which is held every five years, is held in Qingdu this time. All people under the age of thirty rushed there, and even many young people from Rui Kingdom came.

People, it's just that during the war, you can't enter the city along the map. Previously, I thought you were Rui people who were going to Qingdu to try your luck."

Yu Ye smiled and nodded: "We really don't know about this. It has been several years since I left the master and traveled around the world. It seems that I have to go to Qingdu this time. Maybe I can see my classmates. When will the general election be?

start?"

"Morning! It won't start until the end of July and lasts for ten days. There are still two months left. Even if we walk, we can reach Qingjing in more than a month. The young men guarding the city are also going, but

They have horses and will not leave for another month. If it is not too troublesome, a few immortal elders can settle here first and then leave with the city defenders. There will also be people waiting on the road." The city defender smiled and told Yu.

Ye poured a glass of wine.

"We have something else to do. We need to go to Zicheng in the east. We just don't know where Zicheng is and how far it is from here." Yu Ye rejected the city guard's invitation.

"Zicun?" The city guard frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't think of the place name Zicun, so he had to ask: "Which county or city does this village belong to?"

Yu Ye smiled bitterly: "We don't know either. We only know that it's in the east of Qingguo. It doesn't matter if we don't know. We can just ask people when we get to the east."

The city guard nodded: "It is closer to the easternmost part of Qing Kingdom from here than to Qingdu, but if we take a detour, the time to Qingdu will be a bit tight."

Before Yu Ye had time to speak, he suddenly heard a ping-pong-pong sound downstairs, as if someone had flipped the table.
