blood contract

Dark red blood slowly seeped out from the ground, and the black sky was illuminated by the blazing fire.

The smell of the fishy smell made me sick to my stomach. Broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the place. Corpses were strewn across the field. Spears, swords and broken flags were half-hidden in the soil or on top of broken bones. The raven made a hoarse and lonely cry of 'wow'. Voice.

The wind whizzes past, seeming to ignite the tragic song of this land. Everywhere is the cry of people fearing life and death; the sound of fighting with all their strength, the sound of gold and metal fighting; the sound of flying arrows and the roar of war beasts; the sound of beheading. The wailing sound before the killing; the sound of the knife and gun piercing the flesh and blood, the sound of broken bones and blood spurting out... The sound of it makes people feel chilled and frightened in their hearts.

Looking down from a high altitude, there are countless Jingguan, which are made up of heads piled up one after another, like towering mountains, and there are countless them in this boundless land.

This shocking, frightening suffocation feeling has the violent energy to destroy the world, as if you are in the end of the world.

Gu Hangqi's mind went blank for a moment, his feet were like logs stuck in the ground, unable to move at all, and it seemed like he couldn't even make a sound.

Suddenly, the ravens resting on the temple grounds or on countless corpses on the battlefield took off with scarlet blood eyes, surging towards the two of them like billowing ink clouds.

Lingling is very familiar with this sense of crisis. Wenrenfu has this kind of fear and palpitations in the field.

She knew that she was entering the realm of an old monster.

"run."

Lingling quickly threw out a high-level boundary-breaking explosive talisman, pulled Gu Hangqi up and fled towards the hole where the talisman exploded.

……

Somewhere deep in the darkness, a pair of gray-white eyes slowly opened and murmured without a trace of emotion: "The little ants are not affected by my domain and can escape. It's interesting... Since this place has been occupied by someone, I realize that it’s time for me to leave.”

Gu Hangqi seemed to wake up from a nightmare, his clothes were soaked with sweat, his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, it was as cold as bone marrow, and his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

"How could there be such a terrifying aura? Is it a demon or a demon?" His voice trembled as he spoke.

"Who knows which old monster's cave it is?" Lingling was also shocked and swallowed with his dry throat.

She collectively referred to the high-level cultivators with terrifying powers such as Wenrenfu and Fuluo as ‘old monsters’.

Various questions kept popping up in his mind, such as whether this old monster was the person behind Liu Rufeng? If so, what should we do next? etc.

The two of them thought about their own problems, calmed down briefly, and left the cave pretending to be indifferent.

Return to Cheng Ji's house, leave the green token and then return it to Cheng Ji, and use 'Dream Words' to erase his related memory.

Lingling fell in love with this spell when she first saw Gu Hangqi using 'Dream Words', and it was a perfect match with the Dream Pillow Mushroom. After this incident, she must ask Gu Niuniu to teach her.

Lingling told Mu Qihua Le everything about the situation in the cave.

As she expected, after Mu Qihua Le learned about Xixi's existence, he felt hatred in his heart because of his similar experience, and almost cut off Cheng Ji's head while he was sleeping.

In order not to disturb the old monster, the three people did not choose to kill Cheng Ji immediately. But what happened next made the three of them feel a little regretful for missing this opportunity.

The three people discussed countermeasures.

Gu Hangqi first put all the people in need of rescue in Lingling into a cell, and then handed the letter written by Lingling and a ring to Dongfang Rouyin and asked him to wait for the opportunity.

Mu Qihua Le became a favorite and stayed with Cheng Ji, monitoring his every move. This made Le sick to his core, and he kept scolding Gu Hangqi in his heart for serving the public good for personal gain.

Originally, Lingling used the owl as a signal to transmit information outside the stronghold. Now, with the help of Gu Hangqi, more detailed information about the situation inside the stronghold was sent to Lingling's camp outside the stronghold.

Gu Hangqi did not forget to pay attention to Liu Sunchang's movements, but Xia Jiang's movements were somewhat ignored.

It wasn't until noon on the third day that Xia Jiang took the initiative to invite him to the house for a chat, and Gu Hangqi suddenly felt uneasy.

I don’t know what this person’s intention was for asking him out. Could it be that he noticed something?

With a sense of anxiety, Gu Hangqi walked into Xia Jiang's house.

To his surprise, the house was clean and tidy, the items were neatly stored, as if he had packed them himself, and the food and drinks were placed where he was comfortable and accustomed.

I originally thought that Xia Jiang was just a playboy, but I didn't expect that he was the one who should have paid attention to him from the beginning.

Pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!

Only then did Gu Hangqi realize that this person was dangerous.

"What are you thinking, Military Master Gu? You don't think the thin wine prepared by me is too simple, right?" Xia Jiang was less cheerful than usual and more calm and steady.

Gu Hangqi bowed politely, "Young Master Xia, what are you talking about? I'm really flattered to invite Gu alone as a young master."

"Military Master Gu is knowledgeable, well-versed in the current situation, has quick thinking, and works hard day and night. He is a talented person. I have always loved talents, cherished them, and respected them even more."

As he spoke, he raised his glass of wine and saluted Gu Hangqi.

Gu Hangqi did not pick up the wine glass, but raised his hand to salute, "Young Master, I am so complimentary, Gu is so humble, but he only relies on reading a few more books to be qualified for this official job, which is not considered talented. Mr. Xia's compliments, Gu Thank you..." He knelt down and bowed deeply, and then said: "There have been a lot of things recently, and Mr. Xia has nothing else to do, so Gu will leave first."

Just as he was about to stand up, he was pushed back to the couch by Liu Sunchang's big hand.

"You don't have to worry, Commander Gu. I have asked my eldest brother for half a day, and someone else will do your work for you." Xia Jiang's words were plain, but there was a domineering air in them that could not be refuted.

Gu Hangqi frowned slightly when he heard this, "Gu doesn't understand what Mr. Xia means?"

Xia Jiang drank his wine and said calmly: "Actually, I've invited Military Advisor Gu to come here. I just have something to ask and I want to ask Military Advisor Gu to help me clarify my doubts."

"Clear the confusion? Mr. Xia, can you explain it a little more clearly?" Gu Hangqi didn't know why.

Xia Jiang lowered his eyes and slowly removed the drinks from his table, placed a set of tea sets, and started ordering tea in a smooth motion, "I want to know how you convinced a proud prince to become a Beloved."

"!!!"

When Gu Hangqi heard this, he was shocked. Although he didn't know that Mu Qihua Le was a prince, he knew when he said 'favorite concubine' that this matter could not be hidden from this person, although he didn't know how he knew it. Chong Ji' is a man's.

The surprise in his eyes disappeared momentarily, but it was still noticed by Dongfang Kaguya.

He stood up, picked up the tea he had ordered, walked slowly to Gu Hangqi, handed it over, and said: "Sister Gu, don't be surprised. Not only do I know who he is, but I also know the other person beside you. Who is the dancing girl..."

After a pause, he leaned down slightly and whispered softly: "It must be Lingling."

Lingling didn't use her real face, so when he said her name, he had to surprise Gu Hangqi again.

Xia Jiang, Dongfang Huiye to be precise, although he recognized Mu Qihua Le, he only had a guess about Lingling's identity.

He didn't want to commit such a deception. Judging from the instant reaction in Gu Hangqi's eyes, he was definitely this girl. That's right.
