Omi had to sit up

The scorching sun is in the sky, and the dry land is hundreds of miles away.

The soil on the ground in the west is cracked, and it is difficult to grow any grass.The high-altitude sun has turned into a flame-white color, and the scorched earth is desolate and hot, with large tracts of dead trees standing upside down, and the vision is distorted and blurred under the heat.

This piece of land had been deserted as early as a month ago, but at this time, there were two figures walking slowly on the ground, one in front and one behind.The person walking in front was tall and tall, with a bell tied in his hair, which shook and jingled every time he walked.

He was wearing a blue robe and white shirt. He looked very young and handsome, but his pupils were loose and unfocused.He stared straight ahead, walking further west step by step.

The steps stepped on the scorching land, leaving behind the sound of hot sand rubbing.And behind the man with the bell, there was another shadow slowly following behind.The shadow was wearing a gray shirt. If it weren't for the scorched earth and nowhere to hide, he seemed to be able to blend into the surrounding environment at any time.This person has delicate and slender eyebrows, chapped lips, and his eyes are fixed on the back of the person in front of him. He stops and walks along the way, but he never falls behind the handsome man in front of him.

The two of them did not speak all the way, and walked back and forth on the dry land for half an hour, when the man with the bell walking in front suddenly froze and stopped in his footsteps.

Seeing this, the man behind also stopped in his tracks, his eyes still fixed on the man in front.

A gust of dry wind blew past, brushing the hem of their clothes.The bell in the hair rang softly, and the person walking in front suddenly turned his head, his voice was hoarse and disdainful in the period of voice change: "Lu Tongming, what are you doing here?"

Shadow didn't make a sound, just stood not far away and looked at the blue and white figure in front of him.

"I told you, I will never trouble Xie Zhen and Lin Chenshu again, please don't be a follower all day, okay?" Seeing that the shadow did not echo, the man with the bell suddenly turned around and showed displeasure on his face. With a patient look, "I don't want to see you now, you go!"

When he spoke, his gaze recovered a little, and Shadow frowned, but he still didn't speak.

The expression on the bell man's face suddenly darkened. Looking at the figure in front of him, he suddenly frowned, leaned over to pick up a stone, and threw it at the other person's body.

"Dead wood, I want you to go, do you hear?" He threw it and cursed.

"... Zhen Anyu." The man on the opposite side was strong, and he really didn't show mercy. Shadow caught the stone thrown at him, and finally called his name.

The person in front of me is Zhen Anyu, the third-ranked poisonous student in the Jianghu record. He is unrivaled in the world with his poison skills. But it was on the dry land leading to Westhammer.

He heard Lu Tongming calling his name, and wanted to say something, but his resentful eyes suddenly froze, and the eyes in his eyes became slack again, and he turned around slowly and walked west.

His body took a few more steps mechanically, until his forward steps touched the stones on the side of the road, and then he staggered and stopped.His eyes regained their clarity from the chaos again, and he had fallen to the ground, which was quite different from the previous sober position.

He turned pale for an instant, and turned around suddenly, only to see that Lu Tongming had already walked over.The shadow finally spoke, with a deep and complicated voice: "You are the third in Jianghu record, and you also have the art of resisting poison. I can't ignore you."

"Hehe, after all, it's not for understanding Zhen." Zhen Anyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly sneered.

Lu Tongming was silent, neither admitted nor denied, but just stretched out his hand to help him.

Because of the long-term use of hidden weapons, his hands were still thick with calluses. Zhen Anyu looked at the other's palm, suddenly raised his hand again, and patted his hand aside with a "slap", raised his voice, and said in a sharp tone : "I said you don't need to worry about it. I used to see that you were pitiful, so I rewarded you with some face. Now I'm tired, tired, so get out."

Lu Tongming's hand was beaten to one side, and his movements were stiff. After a while, he said: "I don't need you to rush, it's my own business to follow you, when I get bored, I will leave naturally..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again to wipe off the dust on the opponent's robe, watching Zhen Anyu slowly raise his eyes.

"But not now." He said with chapped lips.

"..." Fine dust scattered in the air, and Zhen Anyu looked straight into his eyes.

The person in front of him was still reflecting his own figure in his eyes, Zhen Anyu opened his mouth several times, finally pushed the other person away, and said with despair in his eyes: "Are you stupid or not, I will not die, no one can kill me But you...you are just an ordinary person who has practiced a little more martial arts, what are you doing here in Xihammer? Do you think I am not bad enough now, and rush to die? "

Lu Tongming took a step back, then stepped forward again and said, "My Lu family has long since been wiped out, and I will be alone when I die. No one will miss me, so you don't have to worry."

"..." Zhen Anyu swallowed what he wanted to say again, only feeling his eyes were a little moist, and he quickly looked up to the sky.

The sun in the sky shines alone, more vicious than the summer sun, and the flame-white color exudes a strange atmosphere, constantly depriving the ground of life.Zhen Anyu looked at it for a while, and finally swallowed the water in his eyes back, and looked at Lu Tongming again.

The man opposite was also looking at him.

Zhen Anyu gritted his teeth, and suddenly bit his finger, watching the blood seep into his fingertips.

"Lu Tongming, you are the one to follow." He said fiercely, his eyes suddenly focused, and he raised his hand to wipe the opponent's seal.

Blood smeared all over the forehead, and finally drew a pattern of eyes, which was lifelike, as if a person opened his third eye and coldly glanced at everything in the world.

With the warning of Jian Chenxue, who was misty in Hanshan, Chen Shu and Xie Zhen didn't stay in Jiayang County for long. They quickly prepared their horses and set off to return to the capital together.

Yang Wu and Han Heng originally wanted to keep Chen Shu to stay in Jiayang County for a while, but when they heard Chen Shu said something important, they quickly let go and only asked if the matter was serious and if they needed help.

These two were some of Chen Shu's friends in this world. Chen Shu thought that Yang Wu was newly married, Han Heng and Jing Chu also had a child now, so he didn't tell them the specifics.

Yang Wu and Han Heng had no choice but to give up, and reluctantly watched Xie Zhen and Chen Shu leave.

When the two came, there was a lot of commotion in Jiayang County, but when they left in a hurry, not many people knew about it.Only when Chen Shu was helped by Xie Zhen to board the carriage, Yunqu, a small salt official from Jiayang County, happened to pass by and saw him a few more times.

Chen Shu just smiled back.

The little salt officer stared blankly at Chen Shu's smile for a long time, and then moved to the person who was supporting him, but saw that the person was tall and straight, and although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his appearance was like the emperor he saw that day.Although these two men are two men, they seem to match each other surprisingly well. Their words and deeds, their smiles and responses are all indescribably natural, as if they have been together for a long time.

He was startled, and belatedly realized that when he met the current emperor, he would kneel down and salute.He bowed quickly, but he heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him, and the wheels of the cart had already turned forward. When he raised his head again, the carriage was already ten feet away, gradually drifting away, until it completely disappeared at the end of his vision.

The person who caused a sensation in Jiayang County left in this quiet time.

Yunqu stood where he was, looking at the carriage leaving in the dust, thinking about what happened in the past few days, as if experiencing a big dream, meeting someone far away, seeing an unexpected encounter, After a long time, I suddenly came back to my senses.

And the wheels of the carriage were rolling, and they were already heading towards the capital quickly.

Shangzhou is [-] days away from the capital. Ni Jin and Shao Yuping took turns driving the horses when they returned to the capital. They changed supplies at each post station, and the time spent was cut in half. When Xie Zhen returned to the palace, it happened It was the night of the fifth day after leaving Jiayang County.

As the carriage drove into the capital, thousands of households had already lit their lamps, and warm light was shining through the windows.When Chen Shu lifted the curtain of the car to look, he suddenly remembered that it was the first time he used Qinggong to pass through the streets and alleys here, and it was such a quiet and prosperous scene.

It's just that it wasn't the same as today, at that time he was still struggling with his mission, but now he bid farewell to Chen Wan and came back to this land where Xie Zhen exists.

Chen Shu watched the scene silently until the carriage stopped in the imperial city, then dismounted with Xie Zhen.The two walked through the promenade of the imperial garden together, and came to the familiar door of the imperial study.

There are people on duty in the palace.Most of the people here recognized the emperor Xie Zhen, but they were surprised by the people who followed Xie Zhen today. They waited until the two passed by before looking at each other with surprise and puzzlement in their eyes.

Today's emperor is reticent and sarcastic. He is about 30 years old but has no female relatives around him. There is only one companion who can be counted as companion, and that is Jing Ninghou, who has not been around for a long time.And the young man who just walked with the emperor looked very strange, but walked beside the emperor just like the former Jing Ninghou...

People in the palace were astonished, and in the imperial study room, some people looked at the two people sitting and standing in front of them with some surprise, and secretly looked at the young man following the emperor several times.

He is short in stature and looks like he is only a teenager. Because he is afraid of Xie Zhen, he doesn't dare to really look at the young man. He only glances a few more times when he is looking at the young man. He has already stepped forward respectfully. He submitted it upwards: "Your Majesty, this is the letterhead sent by Master Jian."

The letter was sent from the post station. After Xie Su read the content, he simplified the content and sent the letter to Xie Zhen again.After Xie Zhen took it apart, he glanced at the ten lines. After checking it, he saw that Chen Shu was also paying attention, so he hesitated for a moment and handed the letter to the other party.

The child under the table was even more surprised when he saw Xie Zhen's actions, and finally couldn't help but secretly glanced at the young man in front of him.

The young man was lowering his eyes to read the contents of the letter, when he saw something suddenly, he frowned and said, "I heard that many people died in the drought in Xihammer, why did Master Jian say in the letter that there are no bones in Xihammer?"
