all beings pity you

Jingfeng is the capital city of Xuanyang, covering an area of ​​several kilometers. For thousands of years, the long streets and ten miles are brightly lit, and the eight streets and nine streets are crowded with people.I didn't expect that once I was down and down, the city was still crowded and noisy.

They stopped a few miles away and let Lingyuhe leave by itself, and then the two walked slowly towards the city.Outside Jingfeng City is a plain that stretches for several miles. On the way, I also met refugees with their families.

All the young people among the refugees took turns pulling the carts. There were a few old men in their dying years sitting in the carts, followed by a woman with a naive child in her arms.Zhu Xuan and Yu Sheng were not idle, they stepped forward to assist Yi Er, and they happened to ask some questions.

"Where do you all come from?"

"From Qingjiang Town." The man lowered his head and continued to move forward after finishing speaking.

Qingjiang Town is a town in the south-central part of Sichuan, facing Qixing Town across the Qingjiang River.

"Excuse me, can you tell me about the situation in Qingjiang Town?"

The man didn't speak, but the woman beside him spoke first:

"Forgive me, my lord. Due to the turmoil of the war, most of the places in Qingjiang Town have been burned down, and many people have not been able to come out. The war came too suddenly. We live far away, so we have escaped, but I heard that recently, there are some monsters Those who cannibalize and drink blood scare people to death. Although the imperial city is a bit chaotic, there are still people with real swords and real swords, so it can be safer."

The two understood the meaning, and they didn't say much after that.

When they got to the bottom of the city, there were indeed a few people standing outside the city with iron swords in their hands. When they saw the refugees coming from afar, they immediately stepped forward and shouted:

"Do what?"

The few people in front were silent, so Zhu Xuan had no choice but to step forward and say:

"He's from the south, someone who has traveled for many days and wants to enter the city. I don't know..."

"Want to enter the city? You have to take all these things! There are so many people in the city, where is there a free place to put them?"

The woman who spoke just now was so anxious that she almost cried out. She begged bitterly: "Please, these things must be brought with you, otherwise we wouldn't have dragged them all the way here in vain!"

The man holding the sword looked at the arrogance, but was actually wiped out as soon as he was poured with tears. He said helplessly:

"No, big sister, it's not what we mean. Everyone is suffering the same, and now it's all in chaos. It's useless for you to keep these things! Sitting on a lot of money in the war, you can only step on it like a stone. There is a reason!"

Under the cover of the nest, there is no complete egg.

Zhu Xuan stepped back calmly, it was ridiculous that he couldn't slash that person with a single sword right now.What's more, the city must be like what people say, and there is no place for people to stay.

Yu Sheng listened for a while, then suddenly said:

"Don't worry, big brother. I don't know the situation in the city for now. Since these things must be left behind, you must keep them properly, otherwise you will not be at ease."

The man was also anxious. Hearing what Yu Sheng said, he found a way to go: "That's natural. Everyone's things are kept properly. This is what the adults ordered, and there will be no mistakes."

After arguing so far, the group of talents were able to enter the city, and the two of them entered the city honestly together, as it was inconvenient for them to come and go without a trace.

There was silence for thousands of miles outside the city gate, but when the gate was opened, it was like entering another world, full of noise and noise.A large group of ragged refugees swayed along the street, and there were still people picking up fallen vegetable leaves on the street. Occasionally, when a dozen or so people in armor passed by, they could only be quiet for a while.

Messy, dirty, unsightly.

Zhu Xuan never thought in his life that he returned to the original place under such circumstances.

"Senior brother Jing sent a letter before, but I didn't tell my brother when there were so many people. The letter said that the master and the ancestors resisted the monsters in the southern border, and nothing will happen for the time being. Don't be head-to-head, and there is..."

"What is it?"

"It's true... This war is mostly caused by rebellion, and there are many people who robbed houses and houses. Most of these people hold grudges against the royal family. I ask you...don't meddle in it."

Zhu Xuan paused, thinking that he really didn't think so much.

blending?How to blend?I'm afraid I can't get involved even if I squeeze my head.

"I understand. What worries me the most right now is the cause of the turmoil in the four realms. I really don't have a clue about this place."

Zhu Xuan knew very well that he had no position to take into account this huge thousand-year-old country.He is not the lord who destroyed the country, he is not a refugee with his family ruined, he is not a rebel army who rose up, he is just a person who grew up in Tianmen Xianshan and never set foot in the fireworks of the world. He is nothing to this place.

"I don't know much about the situation in the city. With so many people, I don't know if they have been infested by monsters for a while. Once senior brothers and masters have news, they should leave immediately."

Yu Sheng nodded, and Zhu Xuan walked around a street where few people came, and walked towards the place where the refugees gathered.

At the same time, Mei Sanqian and Liu Qingyuan were blocking back a group of monstrosities that were coming like a tide.Although Mei Sanqian didn't hold a sword in her hand, her cultivation was beyond the reach of many people.The two swept across the area, and there were wailings outside the southern border. Liu Qingyuan's long sword was stained with blood, but his clothes were not stained with blood.

The setting sun outside the southern border is different from Tianmen Mountain. This place is open and boundless, and the setting sun over the long river has crossed a layer of gold for the large number of strange corpses on the ground.Mei Sanqian was sitting on a huge rock, even though the twilight was so soft, it didn't reflect into his eyes.

Liu Qingyuan stood below, raised his face and called, "Master."

Only then did Mei Sanqian's eyes soften, and she flew to Liu Qingyuan's side.

Liu Qingyuan saw this man covered in blood, frowned and said:

"Master, let's change clothes, it looks scary."

Instead of being angry, Mei Sanqian smiled, stretched out her hand and pinched the waist of the rude man, and said with a smile:

"It's not that you kid can't see a little blood on your body, and I let my teacher block it for you. I feel ashamed to criticize others." Mei Sanqian pulled out the sword in Liu Qingyuan's hand, wiped it gently with his sleeve, and continued:

"Your two little apprentices have gone to Jingfeng City. Presumably there will be no major problems, but there are too many people and it is unavoidable. We will leave in a few days."

Liu Qingyuan nodded and retracted his sword.

……

There are many incidents in Jingfeng City, and when the weather is calm, everyone will unanimously feel that the days are unlucky...

It was the same today, Zhu Xuan and Yu Sheng randomly found someone to gather together, and it was a coincidence that they got into a place of right and wrong.There should have been a heavy snowfall in Jingfeng City a few days ago, and there were traces of ruts in some places, dragging it into a stream of sewage on the ground.

There was a man kneeling in the sewage, wearing coarse linen clothes, and under the thin clothes was exposed skin that was cracked by the cold.Zhu Xuan was pushed to the front by the crowd, and Yu Sheng had no choice but to squeeze in.

He was shocked by this scene for a moment, and asked the people next to him in amazement:

"Why is this?"

The man yawned and pointed to the human on the ground:

"It's the prince of the former dynasty, who was willing to become a slave instead of a cow in order to save his life. We can only watch this kind of thing, and we can't control it."

Zhu Xuan stared blankly at this person for a moment, rolled the word "Former Prince" on the tip of his tongue, and swallowed it.

If he hadn't been abandoned, would he kneel his dignity into the dust like this person now?

A pair of feet wearing leather boots suddenly fell beside the prince. The man lifted his foot and crushed the prince's hand, and several bloodstains were quickly rubbed on the ground. When the man stretched out his hand again, Zhu Xuancai suddenly found that the prince's pale neck , There is a black iron chain.

"Zhu Heng? Prince? If I had known today, would I have chosen such a good place when I reincarnated?"

The man ruthlessly pulled the iron chain around Zhu Heng's neck. Zhu Heng's center of gravity was already unstable, and he immediately leaned forward.After he fell to the ground, the man stepped on Zhu Heng's back again.

Zhu Xuan was terrified when he saw it, and he couldn't move his feet when he stood there. Yu Sheng called out in a low voice for a long time but didn't listen.From the moment that person said the word "Zhu Heng", Zhu Xuan finally understood what Jing Tunan meant by "don't meddle".

Zhu Heng, Zhu Xuan.People with a heart can naturally hear it.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother."

When Zhu Xuan was in a trance, Yu Sheng grabbed his clothes and dragged him back from the crowd.

"Let's go elsewhere."

He frowned and looked back, and left quickly with Yu Sheng.He thought all the way in his heart:

"not my business."

Jingfeng City is still noisy at night, probably because it accommodates several times more people than usual, and there are some campfires and sleepers on the street.

When the two passed a long street, they ran into that prince again, Zhu Heng.

Zhu Xuan couldn't help but look back, Zhu Heng was being held down by his hair, and a group of people insulted and beat him.Just when Zhu Xuan was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Zhu Heng say:

"Leave my brother alone, he has always been wandering outside and has nothing to do with this matter, Zhu Heng has no complaints about how you treat me."

Zhu Xuan's heart sank fiercely, a little suffocated.He didn't listen to the obscenity of the people around him, and what echoed in his heart was Zhu Heng's phrase "no complaints".

After Zhu Xuan turned around, he asked Yu Sheng in a low voice:

"There must be prisons in the imperial city. Since the rebels hate the royal family so much, they will definitely try their best to humiliate them."

Yu Sheng's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to go and see."

After saying this, Zhu Xuan felt a little scared.He didn't even know why he was going, and he didn't even know how much those people he had never met resembled him.

Yu Sheng paused for a long time, but still couldn't think of how to answer Zhu Xuan, it seemed that no matter what he said, he was wrong.By the time he thought of how to answer, Zhu Xuan had already found out where the prison was.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look."

It was night, Zhu Xuan quietly entered the prison with an indescribable feeling. He was still thinking about how to deal with the two soldiers standing guard at the door. Unexpectedly, Yu Sheng had already passed out with a cold face and raised his hand. , raised his chin and said to him:

"Go quickly."

Zhu Xuan glanced back, and found that Yu Sheng did not follow, but was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed under the moonlight, staring at him intently.Yu Sheng's eyes are beautiful, the end of the eye is upturned, the eyelashes at the end of the eye are like curtains, and the drooping eyes seem to be able to block everything out.Zhu Xuan glanced at him and suddenly thought:

"What else am I going to do..."

But the footsteps have already reached here, but there is no way for him to stop.He looked back at Yu Sheng and kept walking, Yu Sheng chuckled in the dark and said:

"Brother, if you don't look ahead, you will hit the wall."

Only then did Zhu Xuan suddenly come to his senses, scratched his face in embarrassment, turned around and walked towards the depths of the prison.

He just wanted to take a look, what is the most direct connection between himself and this world?

The prison is cold and humid, and there is little light on weekdays, and in addition to the recent winter, it is like a place in the extreme north.Zhu Xuan gathered the cloak on his body, opened and closed his palms and lit a palm flame, held it in the air and let it go.

The faint blue halo of fireworks surrounded him, and by the time his eyes gradually adapted, he had walked more than a hundred steps.

"Why is it so far away? Pingwan should wait in a hurry."

It may be that the halo of the fireworks is too small, Zhu Xuan has already walked around two rows of gloomy cells, and his mind is still full of juniors.When walking to a corner in front, the light of the fireworks suddenly illuminated a corner.

Zhu Xuan Yuguang first saw a few rusty iron fences.Then he saw a pale face behind the iron fence in horror.

"what--"

"what--"

Zhu Xuan covered his mouth as soon as he made a sound, he was more afraid that Yu Sheng would strike here with his sword impatiently than this face that was neither human nor ghost.

"What are you calling!"

"What are you shouting again!"

The man didn't answer any more, and seemed to have moved to another place. Zhu Xuan quickly walked around the prison and came back, only to find that there was someone there just now, so he made sure to walk back.

"Brother, I was really sorry just now."

Zhu Xuan da lala lit a few more palm flames, and after staring at the man for a while, he "teng" and sat outside the cell.The man glanced at the floating fireworks in the air, raised his chin and said, "Which fairy mountain came down, little fairy?"

Zhu Xuan regained his old demeanor of being a faceless man, and said directly: "He's from Tianmen Mountain." He paused for a moment and then asked: "What's your name?"

"Zhu Yu"

Zhu Xuan silently raised his eyes and looked over, a halo appeared around Zhu Yu's face under the fireworks. He was thin but handsome, his face was blue and white but his picturesque eyebrows could still be seen.He suddenly couldn't help but want to cover his face.

Too much like myself...
