More than 300 soldiers walked the streets in such a way that people were so frightened that they hid. Li Gu looked at an old man in front of him who was unable to move and showed a frightened expression, and said to Shen Xing beside him: "We are too conspicuous like this, we should let the soldiers set up camp far away from Taikoocheng, and we will put on civilian clothes and look for the Earth Spirit Bead alone in Taikoo City." ”

Shen Xing said: "In this way, you take the soldiers to find a no-man's place outside the east of Taigu City to set up camp, and I will stay in Taigu City with Nameless and Lei Dasheng, and I will meet you after I find the Earth Spirit Bead." ”

"What about me, where am I going, senior brother?" Bai Jiu'er pulled Shen Xing's arm, shook his arm, and made a coquettish appearance.

Shen Xing shook his head and said, "Even if I let you and the soldiers go, you will definitely run back secretly." That's it, you just follow me, but you can't be naughty anymore, you have to be obedient, or I'll let General Li tie you up and lock you up in the tent. ”

"Got it, people are obedient and obedient. Bai Jiu'er pouted and grinned.

Li Gu looked at Bai Jiu'er's coquettish appearance, showed a look of can't help but laugh, and said to Shen Xing: "Childe, be careful, I will take the soldiers to the outside of the city." ”

"Okay, you guys should also be careful, now the army is in chaos, there is a possibility of encountering enemy soldiers at any time, let's look for the earth spirit bead as soon as possible, and meet everyone as soon as we find it." ”

Li Gu hugged his fist at Shen Xing, and left Taigu City with the soldiers. Before leaving, the little leopard ran out again, took out two packages and handed them to Bai Jiu'er, and then returned to the team and left with the soldiers.

Bai Jiu'er opened the package curiously, and it turned out that inside the package were the clothes that Shen Xing and Bai Jiu'er used to wear.

Shen Xing looked at the package in Bai Jiu'er's hand and said with a smile: "This kid usually rarely speaks, but he is still very careful. Let's find an inn and change our clothes first. ”

Lei Dasheng and Nameless were not wearing military uniforms, only Shen Xing and Bai Jiu'er were wearing military uniforms.

At this time, the old man with impaired mobility saw the army withdrawing, and heard the conversation between Shen Xing and Bai Jiu'er, showing a courteous look, and said to Shen Xing: "This military master, are you looking for an inn, I know a place, let the old man take you there." I hope the military master won't kill my old bones, it's not a pity for me to die, but there is still an old woman who can't move at home to take care of. ”

So saying, the old man fell to his knees.

Shen Xing walked over and hurriedly helped him up, and said in surprise: "Old man, why are you doing this. We are not the inhumane beasts of the Twenty-six Kingdoms, we are the army of the Teng Kingdom. ”

The old man showed a suspicious look on his face, and asked suspiciously: "Teng State's army, isn't Teng State destroyed, even the emperor has fled, where is the army?"

Shen Xing patiently explained: "We are really the army of Teng State, the Yang family army left by General Yang Zong, and the Yang family army will never fall." ”

Hearing these three words of Yang Jiajun, the old man was even more excited, his body trembled, and he pointed at Shen Xing and shouted: "What bullshit Yang Jiajun, a year ago, it was you mongrels who killed my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, you must not die well!"

Shen Xing trembled when he heard this, knowing that the mongrel that the old man was talking about was the army led by Yang Yao a year ago. But the real Yang Jiajun will not kill innocents indiscriminately, it must be the evil deeds done by the cronies who have been lurking in the General's Mansion for many years arranged by Zhu Curtain Caizhu.

"Old man, listen to my explanation, what you encountered a year ago was not the real Yang Jiajun, but someone deliberately slandered Yang Jiajun's reputation. Don't worry, we will avenge you, kill those thieves, and restore peace to the world!" Shen Xing hugged the old man and said softly.

The old man looked directly into Shen Xing's eyes, Shen Xing also looked at him with a humble face, the old man was still skeptical at first, but finally found that Shen Xing's gaze was very sincere, and the excited old man burst into tears, shook his head and said: "You are the most cordial officer I have ever met, in this troubled world, there are not many soldiers like you with humanity!"

Lei Dasheng and Nameless stood behind Shen Xing, watching Shen Xing supporting the old man, and the two talked quietly.

Lei Dasheng showed a rare soft gaze and sighed lightly: "The little master is the same as the old master back then, they are all so kind. ”

Nameless nodded and said, "It's a pity that the old master is too kind, he is afraid that we spirits will be impulsive, and he will seal part of our cultivation, otherwise I don't know who will win and who will lose in the battle of six thousand years." ”

"When it comes to 6,000 years ago, there is one thing that I have always puzzled. Although the Lingtu clan suffered heavy losses in that battle, it was not without descendants. It's just that after the old master died in battle, all the surviving clansmen disappeared, and they evaporated overnight, and only the babies left by the old master were protected by us spirits. Lei Dasheng looked puzzled and frowned.

Nameless's face turned indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "I've been investigating this matter all along, do you think I'm really playing in the mountains and rivers? It's just that after endless years, I still haven't found a trace of news." I only know that the Black Sand Clan seems to have been exploring this matter all along. ”

"Damn the Black Sand Clan, the last time I passed by the Broken Remnant Clan, the Broken Wing Patriarch told me that the little master was almost killed by the Black Sand Clan, don't let me find those lonely souls and wild ghosts, otherwise I will kill one by one!" Lei Dasheng couldn't help but roar, Shen Xing turned his head and looked at the two of them curiously, and wondered: "What did you muttered just now, why are you still arguing?"

Lei Dasheng looked embarrassed and sneered: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't extricate myself from the depths of my love." ”

"You are uneducated, don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to use words!" "Nameless kicked Lei Dasheng and shouted strangely.

Shen Xing couldn't help laughing, but found that Bai Jiu'er was sullen on the side, so he shouted at her: "What are you doing so far away from us, why are you unhappy?"

Bai Jiu'er walked over, handed the package luggage to Shen Xing, lowered his head and said, "Jiu'er is not redundant and in the way, I shouldn't be willful." I'll go to General Li Gu and follow him back to the barracks. ”

Shen Xing touched her hair and chuckled: "Are you complaining that I snubbed you, silly guy, now you are the closest person to Senior Brother, and you are so cute, Senior Brother likes it very much." ”

"Really?" Bai Jiu'er raised her head and couldn't help laughing.

The old man who was supported by Shen Xing looked at the kind and simple Bai Jiu'er, and said softly: "This girl looks like our saint, but her hair is white, and the saint's hair is black. ”

Shen Xing was puzzled: "What holy woman?"

The old man explained: "The saints are the people in Taikoo who are higher than the city lords, they are the patron saints of Taikoo City, and the saints of generations have never left Taikoo for half a step, and they have never married all their lives, and they have been silently protecting this ancient city. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Shen Xing, Lei Dasheng and Nameless were all in front of each other, and the three of them looked at the old man at the same time, and asked in unison, "Do you know where the Holy Maiden usually lives?"

The old man looked at the three of them in surprise and asked, "What are you going to do, why are you all so interested in the Holy Maiden?" She is a supreme goddess who cannot be blasphemed, and any person who wants to see her must get the permission of the lord of the city. ”

Lei Dasheng wanted to ask, but Nameless stopped him, Shen Xing understood, and said to the old man: "We don't mean anything else, old man, let's send you home, it just so happens that my senior sister and I have also changed our clothes." ”

"Okay, as long as a few officers don't dislike the humble house, the old man is willing to dedicate his craft, so that you can taste the old man's specialty food!"

Seeing the old man's enthusiastic appearance, Shen Xing was also gracious, so he agreed to the old man's request and followed the old man home.

Shen Xing and the four of them came to the old man's house, the old man's home was indeed very simple, just a thatched house with leaky doors and windows. In the simple bed of the thatched hut lay a scrawny old woman.

The old woman lay on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she were dead, and she did not seem to be able to hear the sounds around her. Shen Xing couldn't bear it, so he personally repaired the leaky doors and windows.

There was a stove in the small courtyard outside the thatched hut, where the old man was cooking and cooking, and Bai Jiu'er helped him to help him.

The three of Shen Xing were left in the house.

Looking at Lei Dasheng and Nameless, Shen Xing said quietly: "It seems that you have also thought of it, the holy woman mentioned by the old man must know where the Earth Spirit Bead is, because the Earth Spirit Bead is the treasure of Taigu City's protector." But if you want to see the Holy Maiden, you have to get the consent of the city lord, and we can't say that we want to get the Earth Spirit Bead, we have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Nameless said: "This matter is also easy to do, as long as we know enough about the character and hobbies of the city lord, and tempt the city lord to let us meet the holy woman." ”

Shen Xing said: "I can only do this, and later, when we eat, we will tactfully ask the old man for information about the city lord." The old man respects this saint very much, and we must not be reckless in asking for information about the saint. ”

After a while, Bai Jiu'er's face was covered with black ashes, and she ran to the thatched hut and said to Shen Xing and the others, "It's time to eat, grandpa let us go out to eat." ”

Shen Xing looked at Bai Jiu'er's appearance at this time, and scolded with a smile: "You go and wash your face first, it's dirty like a little flower cat." ”

Bai Jiu'er smiled and stuck out her tongue, showing an embarrassed look.

Shen Xing and the others accompanied the old man to finish the meal, and the old man was very excited, and kept telling how filial his son and daughter-in-law were, and how cute his little granddaughter who had just turned five years old.

The old man cried as he spoke, Shen Xing was sad when he heard it, and finally he didn't find a chance to ask about the city lord, but the old man said it himself.

It turned out that the city lord of Taigu City had been killed by a general of the Great Capital Kingdom, the reason was that the general liked women, and asked the city lord where the holy woman was, and the city lord did not say whether he was alive or dead, and finally was hanged by the general outside the city gate, and the eyes of the city lord were gouged out, which was quite miserable.

"Inhumanity, these brutes will be punished sooner or later!" the old man wept bitterly, his eyes full of resentment.

Shen Xing comforted the old man and scolded: "What is the name of the general who killed the city lord, it just so happens that my army needs to be sharpened, so I will use this brute to open the knife!"

The old man said hatefully: "The old man will never forget the name of that beast for the rest of his life, his name is Bai Lin, he is a very famous member of the Dajing Kingdom, and the lord of the Dajing Kingdom also values him very much." ”

Shen Xing and Bai Jiu'er changed their clothes and packed their military uniforms in the package, and several people comforted the old man, and said goodbye to the old man after a while.

Walking on the street, Shen Xing said: "The clue of the Holy Maiden has been broken, so we will meet with General Li." Kill Bai Lin's beast first, and then talk about it, it is possible to get the news about the holy woman out of his mouth. ”
