C67 (2/2)

Xiu'er cried until she was tired, then she fell asleep beside the bed. When she woke up, she found that her mother was gone. When she went outside, the boat was also gone. The little girl went crazy and searched for a long time, but couldn't find it. She could only return home and wait.

After waiting for four whole days, Xiu'er finally understood that her mother might not be coming back anymore. She packed up some of her clothes, put the handkerchief on her back, and took some change from the jar where she kept her money. She walked to the door and kowtowed a few times before turning around and leaving.

She still had the urge to head north, but she restrained herself. She had to go southwest first. Since her father had said that he had fished her out of the river, it was no mistake to go up the river to look for her. But when she came out of the fishing village and into the town, she panicked.

The Xiu'er was Fengwu Province, one of the five provinces of the Fire Phoenix's north of the empire. Looking up, the southwest direction of the entire empire could be considered as her upstream. How do I find this?

With no other choice, Xiu'er began to help others earn money while asking about the ways of the provinces to find a wife. Fortunately, her luck was not bad. While she was helping out at a tavern, she heard someone idle talk about the Peacock Ridge and the Peacock Dais. These few words seemed to open a new world in the Xiu'er's mind. That's right, my birth parents might not have met with bandits, but they might have met with natural disasters, such as the Peacock Plane. Furthermore, the word 'Peacock Stage' had a hole in it and her handkerchief had a hole in it. Was this just a coincidence?

At this time, Xiu'er was also a bit desperate, she did not have any other clues, so she did not let go after catching a possible clue, and stubbornly walked towards the southwest.

But when she really reached the Peacock Ridge, she was a little dumbfounded. Not to mention that a lot of the villagers had moved away, the majority of the villagers who had not moved away did not want to bring up this matter again. From the bits and pieces of information that were left behind, Xiu'er knew that there was indeed someone who fell down from the peacock stage, but they were all pregnant women who did not match her age. Xiu'er had once taken out a handkerchief for the villagers to identify, but there were eight households with the surname Kong out of ten of these Peacock Ridge, but with just this ”hole”, it was truly difficult to find.

Xiu'er, who was extremely disappointed, was discouraged and was unable to find anything else. After thinking for a while, she decided to return to Phoenix Dance Province to see if her foster mother had already returned. If there was nothing to do at home, then she would head north to see where the impulse in her heart had come from.

Just as they were on their way back to Phoenix Dance Province, Xiu'er met Hu Erniu's group. Although Hu Erniu was overjoyed, he was still an honest and straightforward person. In a situation where he knew that he couldn't win, he still forced himself to save Xiu'er. After knowing that Hu Erniu was also going to the north, she decided to help him out.

Although it was called helping, Xiu'er only found out about the difference between him and ordinary people not long ago. In the days when her Peacock Ridge were still lingering, she saw villagers practice the Peacock Spear Art and felt a sense of déjà vu in her heart. When the townspeople practiced, she would learn from them. This so called spear technique was actually used by most of the villagers to strengthen their bodies and strengthen their bodies. There was no worry about it being passed on to others, but some villagers came over to give her some pointers. She already knew that her strength was beyond ordinary. Now that she had the Peacock Spear Art, she felt that she was already considered to be an expert.

However, he did not know that she was actually lacking a standard for evaluating him. Most of them were based on his own thoughts. If her true strength was matched with the Peacock Spear Art, even an ordinary top master would not be a match for her. If she was weak, it was because her defense was extremely weak. She could only be slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

The Xiu'er didn't reveal his true abilities in front of Hu Erniu, and just followed them all the way to County-City. At that time, the large army of Pang Lai County had already gathered around, and all the passes in the distance were firmly locked down by the Demonic Beast army, making it impossible for anyone to move. Hu Erniu was greedy for achievements, he wanted to take a detour. Xiu'er knew that this road was dangerous, but in order to repay Hu Erniu for taking care of him, she resolutely decided to help him. This was why the Demonic Beast were blocking the way, and the Xiu'er was making a move.

When the logistics team reached the Phoenix City Pass, especially after seeing Kong Sheng, Xiu'er was no longer calm. She did not know who this young general was, nor did she know what the relationship between her and him was, but she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards him.

This feeling was hard to describe. To say that he was a relative without such an elder brother, father and daughter were just bullsh * tty things. He was ten years older than she was. Perhaps it was the feeling of a lover, but it also had a lot of trust. It did not have the kind of suspicion that other lovers had.

Xiu'er couldn't explain it, so she didn't know what to say. But the moment she stood on top of the Phoenix City Pass city walls, she was clear about one thing, and that was that her footsteps would not stop. The strong impulse in her heart had almost turned into a voice resonating in her mind, calling her over and over again to go to the north to go to Mo Qiu.

She felt a little unwilling to part with Kong Sheng, especially when she was inexplicably captured by Huo Yanrann and sent to the imperial city to be imprisoned. When Kong Sheng risked his life to save her and the two of them went onto the guillotine, her feelings for Kong Sheng almost reached an extreme level.

But the more it was like this, the calmer the Xiu'er became. The days in the cell had calmed her down a lot, and she had thought about it a lot. Why did Huo Yanrann say those unfathomable words to him? Why did she use such simple chains to make him lose all of her strength? These were all riddles that Huo Yanrann could not solve. If she wanted the answer, he could only find it herself.

And it was because of this that Xiu'er had already decided to attack Mo Qiu the moment the guillotine was put down. Kong Sheng being injured became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

And after going through such a series of events as robbing and fighting prison, Wulian Border Army and so on, the Xiu'er finally knew that she had done the right thing the moment she set foot on the Moqiu. That indistinct voice gradually became clearer, and that inner call became stronger and stronger. The expedition team fought for a strategic purpose and also had the Xiu'er's own selfish desire. Looking at the Red Camp and the profound practitioners falling one by one, in addition to the pain in her heart, she also felt an additional sense of guilt, a guilt that stemmed from her own selfish desires to make the warriors sacrifice their lives. Therefore, she became increasingly calm and cold-blooded. As long as her soldiers could survive, she could very calmly issue the order to massacre the entire village.

Then, the Ninth Tiger King came over to discuss a plan to get the Moqiu City from her. Due to that little bit of selfish desire in the depths of her heart, Xiu'er agreed. She watched as Ninth Tiger King rushed up to Mo Qiu, rushed into the Moqiu City, and then watched as the army that was charging back surrounded her expedition army. The moment she gave the order to leave the camp, Xiu'er raised her head and looked at Mo Qiu, who was nearing the end of the line. She knew that this was probably the moment she was the closest to that voice, and that she might not have a chance to reach Mo Qiu for the rest of her life.

When Yuanhai came to the besieged Fire Phoenix Army Camp and told her that as long as she was willing to go to Moqiu City, Lord Messenger of God would be able to let go of this Moqiu Army, Xiu'er agreed without hesitation. It was also for the sake of the soldiers' chance at survival, as well as the voice in her heart. Maybe three days wouldn't change anything, but she believed that with Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi there, this team would have a little more hope of survival. To be able to use her own life in exchange for these three days, it was worth it.

Especially when she walked closer to the Moqiu City and the voice in her heart seemed to have resonated by her ears, she felt that she had done the right thing. Using his own life in exchange for three days of rest in the army and the fact that he had been troubled for such a short period of time was truly worth it.

After saying all of these in one breath, Xiu'er looked up at Chen Tianming. Her eyes were slightly red, her expression neither sad nor happy.

Chen Tianming took a deep breath and said lightly: ”Lord Xiu, follow me, I'll bring you to see Beast God.”
