Alternative Jianghu Adventures

As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy and going down a mountain is hard.

But this sentence is the opposite when it comes to Xia Yun.

Compared with the crazy move when going up the mountain and the first day of junior high school, I don’t know if it’s because of the approaching grand ceremony that many Baoqi have been transferred to Keshan, so there are almost no others on the way down the mountain.

Even the northern army that ensured safety is only entrenched on the top of the mountain. As for the various welcoming paths down the mountain, it has really been abandoned by Pope Pula XV.

After all, the staff has basically been determined now, even if there are sporadic people going up the mountain, they will only be guarded near Keshan.And going down the mountain - it's not within the scope of Pula's consideration at all!

The journey down the mountain was surprisingly smooth.

Xia Yun successfully found the horse that had been placed at the bottom of the mountain.

However, just when she was about to throw Suhratai onto the horse's back, the corner of her eyes keenly caught the horse's hoof prints that were not intentionally clear.

Besides Chuyi and her horse... there are other people's horses?

Just as Xia Yun was about to take a look along the hoof prints, a slight cry suddenly came from his ear.

"……water……"

It is Suhra Terrace.

Xia Yun turned his head, guessing that this person must have stayed in the warm torture room for a long time, and finally woke up after being placed in the icy and snowy outside world.

But she doesn't have much free time to satisfy this extravagant request now.

water?She also wants to drink water!If possible, I wish I could beat two snow rabbits to fill my stomach now!

"no!"

She rolled her eyes angrily, and poked Suhratai's waist with the dagger and scabbard, "Sit up for me when you wake up, and save me from wasting energy."

"……Who are you?"

Suhratai finally concentrated a little bit of energy, and subconsciously sat upright on the horse after hearing Xia Yun's words.

He looked around for a moment, and then noticed that the wound on his abdomen had been roughly tied up with cloth strips—it seemed that he would not die for a while.

"The person who saved you." Xia Yun said succinctly, "Hey, move me a seat, I will be responsible for sending you back to the camp."

"No..." Suhratai subconsciously wanted to refute.

Xia Yun was amused by this sentence, "What? I was tricked and tied here, so maybe I still have feelings for this place? Do you want to stay here?"

"No... no."

Suhratai just kept repeating these two words, forcibly turned over from the horse, failed to stand still, and fell into the thick snow layer——the biting chill made him still fascinated The confused brain instantly woke up.

"No! You have to help me!" Suhratai suddenly raised his voice.

"There's nothing to talk about!" Xia Yun didn't even bother to listen, and interrupted rudely, "My task is to ensure that the Usai army can successfully attack the capital, and nothing else is discussed!"

"People will die!" Suhratai said anxiously, "Everyone in Keshan will die by then! Pura Fifteen wants to live forever! In order to make that flower bloom, Pula Fifteen will do whatever it takes In this whole mountain, there are so many Wusai people, many of them are relatives and friends in our army, I can't just watch them die for this illusory myth!"

Xia Yun paused as he straightened the reins.

"What did you say?" Her voice was a little unsteady.

"Immortality? Flowers? Will people die?" Xia Yun quickly picked out the key words from that large paragraph, and the previous thought that the chess grid is the ends of the earth burst out again.

And... Cheng Zhe.

"Yes!" Suhratai looked up at the sky, and said hurriedly, "It's getting late now! The sun will set in less than an hour! It will be too late for the ceremony to start!"

In Usai, it gets dark very early in winter, usually within a few hours of sunrise and sunset, and the rest is long night.

"Do you know Pula's specific plan?" Xia Yun frowned and continued to ask.

Suhratai shook his head desperately, "But I know, someone must stop that person!"

At this moment, Xia Yun only heard a sharp bird song circling down from the sky.

The familiar voice made her take a few steps outside in a hurry, raised her arms, and the letter bird circled around her a few times before landing on her shoulder.

...This is... the letter bird that she promised to keep in touch with Yue'er before she left?

Why is it here?

Xia Yun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and subconsciously blurted out, "Where is she?"

Xinniao's decisive response made Xia Yun's heart sink completely.

Qiao Anyue is now in Keshan in order to find her.

"I have to go back." Suhratai interjected in time.

"No way!" Xia Yun yelled, and stopped Suhratai's steps with the scabbard when he was about to move.

She sneered, and the scabbard hit Suhratai's knee without hesitation.Suhra's legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground.

"I've heard that this breaking ceremony seems to use the blood of your golden family to open an altar for sacrifice. You've lost too much blood now, and you can't even resist my attack just now. What are you going back for? Are you going back to die?"

Suhratai was speechless.

"Listen to me, I'll give you the horse, and I'll give you the barrier knife that I slipped out when I came out." Xia Yun threw the barrier knife at his waist into Suhratai's hand, "The road to Daying should not be used. Can I, a Han, come to remind me? If you have the guts, run back to the camp and deal with the disobedient little bastards in the army. Leave it to me, understand?"

"But..." Suhratai still hesitated.

"What is it?" Xia Yun shoved the rein into his hand impatiently, "Do you think I'm a woman? Don't you want to see who rescued you? You still want to sweat profusely? Die this heart as soon as possible!"

Although the words were ugly, Suhratai knew that what Xia Yun said was the truth.

If he goes up like this, it will only add to the chaos, and it will not have any effect at all.

Even if Xia Yun fails with this division of labor, it can still ensure that major events will not be disturbed—it couldn't be better.

Having figured this out, Suhratai didn't hesitate any more, got on his horse without saying a word, pulled the reins, "Thank you..."

"Don't—" Xia Yun stretched out his hand and replied in a bad tone, "I'm doing it for myself. If you want to thank me, please fulfill the agreement."

After finishing speaking, he threw the scabbard at the horse's belly, the horse was startled, and with a long cry, it spread its legs and disappeared like an offline arrow.

Only then did Xia Yun put away his pretended relaxed posture, and raised his eyes again, his eyes full of gloom.

She followed the hoofprints to find the horse, and as expected, she found the mark of Shen Yuange on it.

It can already be confirmed that Qiao Anyue left the horse.

He turned back without hesitation, and when he reached the halfway up the mountain, it was already dusk.

Xia Yun suddenly stopped, and there was a slight crisp sound when the sword body rubbed against the scabbard.

"After watching for so long, it's time to show up."

"...you shouldn't have come back." A man slowly walked out from behind the rock on the mountain, holding an unsheathed barrier knife in his hand, the general sighed, "I tried to persuade Miss Qiao, but she didn't listen. You have noticed my existence long ago, but you didn't listen."

But Xia Yun suddenly turned around, drew his sword, and the tip of the sword spread out a ray of light from bottom to top towards the person who came!

I vaguely saw a snowflake being split in half by the sword's edge.

The iron mask on the visitor's face was finally split by her sword.

"Clap."

fall on the ground.

However, Xia Yun's sword tip could not take a step forward no matter what.

The general still didn't draw his sword.

He looked into Xia Yun's eyes calmly, ignoring the point of the sword pointing at his throat, "Let's go, Xia Yun."

Let's go.

The two words are like reminders.

Xia Yun took two steps back.

She looked at the pale, bloodless, almost sickly man in front of her, exuding a strange black aura, and finally found her voice.

"Van... Fanda?"

Everything in the world happens for a reason.

There is nothing unchangeable, there are too many allusions that people should look at each other with admiration for three days, Xia Yun is one, Qiao Anyue is one, and now there is another Fan Da, which is not surprising.

"Why are you……"

Even so, Xia Yun still felt that this world was too wonderful.

Her right hand holding the hilt of the sword began to tremble.

"After you left, the north and the south began to fight." Fan Da wanted to reminisce about the old days, not at all afraid that Xia Yun would stab his throat with a trembling hand, but said calmly, as if Tell a story that has nothing to do with yourself.

"Fighting, you know the location of Fanjia Village... In short, if the Southern Army wants to occupy Qingzhou City, it must pass through us. So the village was destroyed."

"Everything around, everyone, was destroyed."

So normal.

All wars are accompanied by plunder and destruction. Even in the well-trained southern army, there will be a few scum in the army.Moreover, the place of Fanjia Village is the perfect foothold for capturing Qingzhou City. Maybe there are a few unruly advance troops, maybe it is to block the news and ensure the secrecy of the operation. It is really unreasonable to destroy an inconspicuous village during the war. Too many reasons.

"I had already decided to get married at that time." Fanda suddenly clenched the scabbard tightly.

Xia Yun noticed the word "Liang" engraved on it.

Liang... Is that Miss Liang?

"...At that time, I was shopping in Qingzhou City, and things happened when I came back." Fan Da narrowed his eyes, "Since then, I have made up my mind to fight against the Southern Army."

"I took the Fan Family Village Chronicle and exchanged it for an opportunity from Prime Minister Lu." Fan Da smiled softly, "A chance to gain martial arts in a short time and take revenge with my own hands."

The facts are obvious. In just one year, the people he killed and the military merits he accumulated allowed him to secure the position of general.

"Lu is kind to me, and my life belongs to him." Fan Da looked into Xia Yun's eyes and said softly, "...Although judging from your current behavior, I am afraid that if the North and the South fight, you will not be able to get rid of it. It's related, but I don't blame you. I know, it has nothing to do with you, you are the few remaining friends I know, if possible, I hope you don't go into this muddy water."

"Let's go, Xia Yun."

Fanda said again, "You go now, it's good for you and me."
