The immortal who travels the world

Chapter 1069
"Didn't you suspect that we were spies sent by the demon? Why did you follow us?"

Zhou Ping was sitting on the edge of the camp with a long knife in his hand. When he saw the girl and her two guards coming over, he taunted unceremoniously on the spot.

With a scar on his face, coupled with Zhou Ping's straightforward temperament, it is indeed easy to arouse the disgust of strangers.

At least that girl was infuriated by Zhou Ping's attitude.

He secretly patted the guard on the back, signaling for the guard to suppress the opponent's arrogance.

The guard was well aware of the noble status of the girl, and naturally also of the girl's usual temperament.

Although it didn't feel right, he still walked up to Zhou Ping.

He said bluntly, "I don't know what your title is?"

Zhou Ping taunted her with words, and saw that the other party came over to give in, and he didn't want to offend the girl who knew her status was not too low.

After hesitating for a while, he still replied, "Zhou Ping, the Commander of the Xishan Battalion of the Vanguard Army."

"Brother Zhou, let me tell you the truth, this lady is very honorable. If you can safely escort her to the capital, it will be a great achievement. It is not impossible to even be promoted to the third level."

Zhou Ping waved his hand.

Now that the other party's attitude has eased, he no longer intentionally picks things up.

He said jokingly, "This young lady thinks that we are all spies of demons."

Hearing this, the girl pouted.

If she didn't intend to save her image, she would have to fight Zhou Ping again on the spot.

In front of the fire, Er Bao lifted the lid of the pot, and a lot of steam came out, and the pot was already filled with white porridge.

After all, he was still a boy with a simple temperament, and he didn't take the girl's slanderous words to heart.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the girl and the others, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Let's eat first."

It is worth mentioning that the broken bowl that Lu Yan blessed with the Delphic oracle actually only poured out porridge continuously, and there was no other food.

But on the way to escape, being able to drink a sip of steaming white porridge is already considered a very high-quality standard for these soldiers.

The soldiers sat on the ground in disarray, holding a bowl of porridge, and drank it happily.

Erbao did not treat them differently, and the girl and the two guards were also given three bowls of porridge.

One of the guards confirmed the safety of the food before handing the bowl to the girl.

It's a pity that this girl probably has no appetite for such food because she was pampered since she was a child.

Instead, he secretly looked at Lu Yan beside the fire.

Everyone was drinking porridge, but Lu Yan was the only one sitting by the fire by himself, looking extraordinarily awkward.

It's a strange guy...

The girl silently commented like this.

"What's the matter, isn't it to your taste?"

Seeing that the girl didn't drink porridge, Er Bao asked in surprise.

The girl didn't talk about the porridge, but lowered her voice and asked Er Bao: "What's the matter with that man? He doesn't look like a member of the army."

Er Bao swallowed the porridge wrapped in his mouth, and then followed the girl's line of sight.

"Ah, you mean Mr. Lu?"

"Lord Lu? Is he an official in your Xishan camp?"

Er Bao hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to explain.

"No, Mr. Lu is a god. It is because of Mr. Lu's protection on this journey that we can return safely."

There was silence for a moment.

"Pfft~"

The girl stretched out her hand to cover her small lips, and said after a while, "Are you joking? God doesn't have time to walk with guys like you."

Girls in this age group are actually very easy to believe in the sayings of gods, gods and ghosts.

But if it is said that there is a god who will walk with a group of remnants and defeated generals, the girl is not so easy to believe.

Hearing the girl's suspicious tone, Er Bao became anxious.

"It's true, Master Lu has supernatural powers."

"Okay, okay, let's say you have it."

The girl hesitated a bit.

Then he rested his chin on one hand, stared at Lu Yan's side face unconsciously, and muttered to himself, "If there is a god, it should be like this, right?"

Compared with a group of rough men, Lu Yan's indifferent demeanor is too stark.

Wang Ji had already finished the porridge in the bowl, and came over with a smile.

"I don't know how to call this lady?"

The girl hesitated a little, but still replied: "My name is Du Sizhen."

"It's a nice name." Erbao said like a fan.

Wang Ji frowned.

"Du... I remember that the surname of the prime minister was Du, right?"

Although Wang Ji had spent more than ten years in the military camp, he must have heard of such a big man.

Du Sixuan nodded: "Du Yanhong is my father."

really!

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers changed a little, and some even took a deep breath.

A character like the prime minister of the dynasty is simply not something that low-level soldiers like them can get in touch with.

Wang Ji gathered himself together, and hurriedly cupped his hands towards Du Sizhen, saying: "Wang Ji met the Prime Minister's daughter, so he offended me a lot."

"It's just... why did you appear in the area occupied by demons?"

With such a noble status, no matter how you think about it, you will not take risks lightly. Could it be that the situation has become so bad?

Thinking of this speculation, Wang Ji's face became even more gloomy.

Du Sixuan's face was a little embarrassed: "No..."

She began to explain, although some places avoided the important things, but she could barely restore the truth of the matter.

It turned out that when she and her guards left the capital, the vanguard army hadn't even been defeated.

At that time, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that this so-called evil spirit was probably a mustard moss, and it would be eradicated soon.

Du Sixuan is also a restless temperament, and plans to go to Licheng, a place close to the front line, to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.

Even though I saw some evacuation teams on the way, I didn't pay attention to it. Instead, I felt that the atmosphere was very exciting.

When the accident happened, it was already too late.

The speed at which humans were defeated and the speed at which the demons advanced were too fast.

Before the group of them arrived in Licheng, they saw a large number of deserters running out of Licheng.

Followed by all kinds of demons.

In order to protect her, they fought and retreated along the way, and in the end only two guards survived.

But the situation is not optimistic.

If it hadn't been for Lu Yan and the others, her body would have been cold by now.

"So you don't know what's going on at the court?"

Wang Ji was a little disappointed.

Du Sixuan clenched his fists: "No, my father will definitely mobilize heavy troops to wipe out all these demons."
