eighty-one

After a few days, the royal court did not come out to make trouble again until the banquet ended. Eliluus's guards searched for a long time but did not find out the news about these assassins, so they had to leave it alone.

Inside the house, Helian Ruoyu put a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and said to Lingxi: "Senior, it's time for me to leave."

Ling Xi was guarding outside the door to practice quietly. When she heard Helian Ruoyu's words, she opened her eyes and said, "It's time to leave?" Ling Xi has been guarding outside the house these days. As Helian Ruoyu said, there were some light or dark auras secretly monitoring her.

Since that's the case, why did Tu Xi ask Ling Xi to beware of Helian Ruoyu? This is what Ling Xi is most puzzled.

Helian Ruoyu pushed the door and walked out, his veil still covering his face, refusing to let Ling Xi see his face clearly, and said in a serious tone: "Senior, I want to ask you one more thing."

She took out the letter and handed it to Ling Xi: "I am extremely grateful for you for your guarding the gate for several days. However, Eliluus will not let me go easily. If you hear the news of something happening when I left, please send this letter back to our tribe territory."

Ling Xi returned the letter to her without saying a word. Seeing this, Helian Ruoyu held Ling Xi's hand and begged: "You must agree to this matter. This is my personal grudge between you and me before. But it is related to the survival of our tribe. I hope you can help me this time because of the lives of tens of thousands of people."

"Do you believe me so much? Or do you think I am from Guyun Sect and I must help you deal with the royal court."

"It's not like that. Please understand. My feelings tell me that you are as trustworthy as my old friend. You will definitely help me." Helian Ruoyu looked at Ling Xi firmly under the veil of green pupils.

Ling Xi laughed dryly, resolutely pushed away Helian Ruoyu's letter, and turned around and left.

Helian Ruoyu took his hand helplessly and sighed lightly.

"I'll go with you." Ling Xi said without looking back.

Helian Ruoyu was in a daze for a moment, and the figure of the man in black robe in front of him was almost exactly the same as Ling Xi's impression.

"Thank you." Helian Ruoyu didn't know why, tears appeared at the corner of his eyes, and he blinked in a panic to cover up.

Outside the palace, the Ming Dynasty saw off for all the kings and princes.

Elilius was the first to be hit, with the greatest pomp, with servants and guards following thousands of people, and the carriages stretching for several miles.

He and Ming Zaigong walked side by side, talking and laughing all the way.

"Brother, you have to come to the palace to escape the heat when you have time." Ming stopped at the resignation of the king and stopped seeing him off.

Elilius nodded and agreed and left with the guards beside him.

He walked for half an hour, turned his head and asked the guard, "Has Helian Ruoyu set off?"

The guard blew a whistle and passed from the head of the team to the tail. A large eagle swooped down from the sky, tied a letter on its ankle.

The guard pulled out the message tube and took a look, and replied, "Prince, our people from all walks of life have not noticed any movement in Helian Ruoyu's team."

At this time, in another desert, Ling Xi and Helian Ruoyu each rode a dromedary camel and had already walked a long way.

Ling Xi looked back and saw that the city wall was left far behind, and only a shadow could be vaguely seen. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Helian Ruoyu: "We are almost safe, no one follows us."

In order not to attract attention, he deliberately left Tiji and let it return to Guyun Sect by itself. Ling Xi and Helian Ruoyu went along the sand road to find someone to help.

Helian Ruoyu looked at the sun and identified the direction: "We will have no way to walk for a while. We will probably be able to get to the place where my people will be able to meet at night."

Ling Xi opened his mouth and asked what was going on, but after thinking about it, let's just forget it.

The two walked silently until the evening, and the sun that could dry people finally came to an end. The frost on the surface of Lingxi dissipated a layer of white smoke and exhaled the cold air.

He used his spiritual power to form ice to block the heat, otherwise he would be unable to stand walking in the desert for a day.

"That's it." Helian Ruoyu also used frost to block the heat and pointed his hand away.

A wisp of inconspicuous light brown smoke drifted in the air and was blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye. The light brown smoke merged with the sky and the desert. If Ling Xi hadn't looked at it carefully, he wouldn't have seen it.

Helian Ruoyu asked the camel to run faster. In such an extreme environment where he didn't know how long he would stay, he could save one point in his physical strength.

When the two of them rode a camel across a sand slope, the camel beneath them was so scared that they stopped in place, and stepped on the sand with four legs. The camp was covered with undried blood, but there were no corpses. Some weapons were scattered everywhere and had not had time to be buried by the wind and sand.

The wind brought a faint smell of blood to Ling Xi's nose, and he smelled that there were definitely many people who died here.

"How could it be..." Helian Ruoyu let go of the reins in his hand and murmured in a daze.

"Help." A faint moan came into Ling Xi's ears. Ling Xi jumped off the camel's back and ran to the camp quickly and said, "There are still living people."

A sand pit behind the camp was filled with corpses. One person was lying at the top, calling for help on his face. His mouth opened and closed, and his chest was pierced by a long sword, and he was inserted there.

It must be the murderer who thought he wouldn't live long, so he left him here and ignored him.

The man saw Ling Xi sticking out his head and coughing and bleeding excitedly. He lifted one hand weakly and put it down, and said to Ling Xi: "Are you someone sent by the patriarch? Save me quickly?"

Ling Xi was worried that there would be mechanisms around him, so he looked around and confirmed that he was safe before jumping down.

He stepped on a pile of corpses without feeling disgusted at all. He had been used to the sea of ​​corpses and blood. He bent over and checked the man, and carefully picked him up with the sword.

"Open your mouth." Ling Xi looked at the man's mouth with a few healing medicines, and his toes were nimble, and he jumped out without even the sand collapsing.

Helian Ruoyu also came and saw that the man was so injured, he leaned over and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Who attacked you?"

"Wang Ting, I saw the logo of the Wing." The man half-opened his eyes, recognized Helian Ruoyu, and said weakly: "Run away, it's already exposed here, maybe they're ambushing nearby."

"He is right, it's too dangerous to stay here. Let's take him away quickly." Ling Xi looked at the darkening sky, a trace of uneasiness appeared in his heart, and he echoed.

"But his injury." Helian Ruoyu was still hesitant.

"I've checked. As long as he doesn't pull out the sword, he won't have any trouble for the time being. If he drags it down, the group of people will die in vain." Ling Xi called the camel and helped the man ride on it together. He shook the reins and left here regardless of Helian Ruoyu.

Helian Ruoyu didn't care about his sadness and rode on the camel and left.

Ling Xi took Helian Ruoyu for a while, and it stopped until it became completely dark and it started to get cold.

Ling Xi helped the man down the camel's back and carefully examined his wound. The sword healed with the man's chest. The man's face was pale and kept whispering: "Leng, cold."

Ling Xi summoned a ball of flame, formed a small pit with sand to cover the flames, and barely allowed the man to keep warm. He roasted some hot water for the man to drink, and it took a while before he recovered, and his face was not so ugly.

Ling Xi took a deep breath, held the hilt of the sword and held the other hand on the man's shoulder, and whispered: "Support it, grit your teeth, I'll pull it out for you."

The man's eyes were frightened and his mouth was tense without saying a word.

Puch, a slight sound of flesh tearing was heard, the man was covered in cold sweat, grabbed the sand with both hands, and his body was trembling. Helian Ruoyu turned his head and did not look at this bloody scene.

Ling Xi pulled out the long sword and used the clean water summoned by the spiritual energy to clean his wounds. The wound healed quickly under the efficacy of the hemostatic pill and formed a blood scab.

"Thank you." The man said thanking: "My name is Jiulang."

"Yes." Ling Xi remembered his name and said to Helian Ruoyu: "Don't be idle, come and help."

Helian Ruoyu came forward to help Jiulang wipe the wound with a wet cloth. Jiulang's cheeks were slightly red and he said shyly: "Class leader, I can do it myself, you don't have to do it yourself."

Helian Ruoyu shook his head and asked, "Who is your father? Why do I never remember seeing you?"

"I have both parents died since I was a child, and it is normal for the patriarch to see me if I don't remember."

"I'll take off your clothes for you, so that it's easy to deal with the puncture wounds behind you."

Jiulang took a panic and took a step back when he heard this. He didn't know where he got the strength, and refused repeatedly: "Don't take off my clothes, I have many scars on my body, it's very ugly."

"It's okay, let her go, I'll do it." Ling Xi stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Jiulang hugged his chest tightly, shy like a little girl, and shouted no. Ling Xi was a little amused and asked him, "Then can you handle it yourself?"

"I can." Jiulang nodded heavily: "I'm a 8th section of the soul, otherwise I wouldn't have known you're close to you before."

"Ling Xi, be careful, I can't see his realm." Xiao Ling whispered.

Although Ling Xi was suspicious, it was difficult to say it directly, so she could only be more careful in secret. Ling Xi threw the wet cloth to Jiulang, and after a few words of advice, he led Helian Ruoyu away.

Ling Xi secretly asked Xiao Ling to stare at Jiulang carefully and walked to another place with Helian Ruoyu. The desert at night was full of stars, and it was indescribable to be romantic except for a bit cold.

Ling Xi, a man who looks like an old man, was somewhat destructive to the atmosphere when he stayed with Helian Ruoyu.

"What are you thinking?" Helian Ruoyu asked suddenly, catching Ling Xi off guard.

"I was wondering if Jiulang's appearance was a bit too sudden. It is logical that Wang Ting could not keep a living."

"He was injured like that, and it was almost impossible for him to survive in the desert." Helian Ruoyu refuted Ling Xi's words.

Ling Xi chuckled, as if mocking her: "You are the leader of the clan, so naive."

"Do you think I'm willing?" Helian Ruoyu whispered, as if he was indescribable.

"Whether you want to or not, it is your responsibility and responsibility. The life you sacrificed in those groups is unrelated to you. I know that I don't have the ability, so I don't want to care about too much. Since you have to take responsibility, be responsible for those people." Ling Xi said this in a deep voice.

"Senior, you are not my teacher, so the tone of educating me is so boring." Helian Ruoyu smiled reluctantly on his face, sat next to Ling Xi, hugged his legs and looked up at the starry sky.

"The person you are waiting for can't help you sometimes, and the real thing can only depend on you." Ling Xi turned his hand and put out the flames beside him: "Sleep, wait until it's dawn tomorrow before you go."
