Next to the fire were two delicate small silver pots, one filled with boiling water and the other filled with warm wine. On the top of the fire were the remains of branches that had just been thrown down, which were withered and curled and making a crackling sound.
Dai Yu looked at the fire and felt more and more unable to sit down. He stood up and said, "Master, can I go out for some fresh air?"
"Okay." Shen Lie nodded.
Dai Yu turned to leave, paused, and turned back to look at Shen Lie.
Shen Lie's dark eyes followed him as he stood up and turned around, and now they were looking at him as well.
Due to injuries on his body and running fast all day long, Shen Lie's already fair face looked even paler. Fortunately, the orange light of the fire was warm. Under such light, his smooth and handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of warm jade, and even he The usual coldness and aloofness have been somewhat neutralized, and the black eyes are even clearer, like the light of a lake.
"Master, you don't have to worry about me," Dai Yu said, his voice was very low, "I'm just a little unhappy. As for Lao Tong and Zhi Changle, how I treated them before is how I will treat them in the future. I won't treat them without any reason. If you are angry, you will never quarrel or ridicule, let alone mention this matter, so as not to irritate them."
"Okay." Shen Lie nodded and said.
Dai Yu took a breath and said, "Then let me take a breath."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.
The north wind was beating violently at the roof of the house. Dai Yu pushed open the dilapidated wooden door. The fire in the house was swayed by the cold wind that howled in, and a lot of snow fell from the beams.
Watching Dai Yu close the door and leave, Du Xuan withdrew his gaze and said, "Young Master, it's all my fault. He spoke too quickly. The deserter thing... he doesn't like it the most."
"It's okay, I never thought of deliberately hiding it from him," Shen Lie said.
"That's right, we can't just run up to him and say, hey, look, those two guys are deserters!" Du Xuan said.
Shen Lie said "hmm" and looked back at the map.
Du Xuan glanced at the wooden door again worriedly, stood up and moved the map closer to Shen Lie.
"No need," Shen Lie said, "Just leave it there."
"Huh?" Du Xuan moved the map back and said, "Is this okay?"
"Okay." Shen Lie nodded.
Du Xuan looked at the map, then looked up at Shen Lie.
The mountains, rivers and land on the map are very detailed, and the place names are marked very small. It is so far away, can the young master see clearly?
"Shuangjiang Palace," Shen Lie said at this time, "that area in the southeast is the imperial mausoleum?"
Du Xuan looked at it and said: "It's not the imperial mausoleum, it's Long Yuan."
"Longyuan?" Shen Lie was puzzled, "It's so far away from Longdan Mountain?"
"Is it far?" Du Xuan leaned down, took a look, stepped back and looked a little further, and said, "It seems a bit...but I heard that Longyuan is at the foot of Longdan Mountain. From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be the case."
"Well," Shen Lie said, "I've never been there either."
"Looking at the distance, it's too far, but the Yuanhe Sect on Longyuan is very close to Longdan Mountain, on the east side of the Imperial Tomb." Du Xuan said.
Shen Lie followed Du Xuan's words and looked away.
"Hey, young master, I just realized that Yuanhe Sect is really big, comparable to Shuangjiang Palace." Du Xuan said again.
In comparison, the Imperial Tomb appears extremely small. Perhaps the Imperial Tomb is underground and cannot be easily displayed on the map, so only one entrance can be seen.
As for the exit, no one knows the exit of this imperial mausoleum for the time being.
Shen Lie looked at the map, his expression became serious, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
"Master, what did you think of?" Du Xuan asked.
"Shen Shu," Shen Lie said, "His interest in Zhi Changle and Lao Tong is only in me or Ah Li. He may want to lure me here."
"Imperial Mausoleum?" Du Xuan looked over.
"He won't be interested in the imperial mausoleum," Shen Lie said, "it's Long Yuan."
"Long Yuan?" Du Xuan was confused, "If that's the case, then why do you need to mention five conditions?"
Shen Lie sneered lightly and said, "Maybe, just to tease me."
Du Xuan paused slightly and gradually understood.
Because Shen was familiar with his birth mother Shi Yingying, Shen Lie had hated spell formations and star tricks since he was a child. He avoided them and kept them out of sight.
But Shen Xu liked to write letters again and again, asking Shen Lie to go to these strange and weird places with her. She was very good at convincing Shen Lie and even coaxed and deceived him. The most common trick he used was to sell him miserably.
Before that, the last similar place they went to was Zhaoyun Mountain in Chongyi, a den of tigers, leopards and wolves, and a dangerous and rugged road. Shen Lie initially thought he was looking for medicine for Shen Xu, so he trudged over mountains and rivers to accompany Shen Xu up the mountain. Later, I learned that Shen Shuangcheng was chasing the Qiao family from Nantang County, Zhaozhou when he was young, and Shen realized that the purpose of coming here was related to those weird star chart formations. At this point, Shen Lie was dissatisfied with these Straight to the top.
Maybe it was because Shen Xu knew Shen Lie too well and knew that Shen Lie could not tolerate these things, so he did not explain it directly this time. Instead, he made a mystery and covered up the real purpose, and waited until Shen Lie was deceived.
After all, this is not the first time such a trick has been done.
"Well, young master," Du Xuan said, "now that you know, do you still want to go?"
"Old Tong and Zhi Changle are still there," Shen Lie said, "I will go."
As for Long Yuan, he didn't know whether to go or not. After all, everything in the world was subject to change and he couldn't be sure.
The wind and snow roared in the wilderness, everything was far away, and the long wind came from the far sky, blowing through the dilapidated hut, rushing towards the Lili Snow Sea, plundering the world.
Along the mountains outside Guhuai Town all the way to Longdan Mountain in the thick darkness, hundreds of cavalry teams dispersed and attacked. There was a thick fishy smell carried by the cold wind, and the beasts hiding in the mountains on winter nights gradually emerged. head.
The Li family's cavalry who followed Emperor Hongde to conquer the Li family in Daqian are among the best elite troops in the world today, with the most advanced training system and combat equipment. They marched across the snowy fields tonight, searching for traces of refugees. All refugees, regardless of Men, women, old and young were all treated as assassins and killed without mercy.
The cold winter turned into a ferocious beast, commanding the wind and clouds. One after another, the refugees fell on the ground. They had suffered endless hardships and colds in their lives. They were driven here from their distant hometowns by natural disasters and man-made disasters. The food, clothing and clothing they had been eagerly anticipating did not arrive. The emperor they respected as the emperor did not show them any mercy. A cold blade ended their miserable life, leaving them desperate and lonely in a gloomy and dark pool of blood, swallowed up by the turbulent waves of history. .
Dai Yu stood outside the dilapidated courtyard, looking at the vast night in the distance.
He doesn't like deserters, because his brother who joined the army and went north in his early years was tired of deserters.
Those who escaped were lucky enough to survive, but those who held on had their heads cut off and hung high on the city wall.
And that battle should not have been lost.
At this time, someone seemed to be crying and screaming in the sky, but for a moment, it seemed that they couldn't hear it.
Dai Yu didn't know if it was his imagination, but it was close to Guhuai Town, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.
But then, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he turned around and ran towards the courtyard, knocked open the wooden door, and screamed in a low voice: "Master, something happened!"
