Nine hundred and seventieth chapters before death
As the young followers of the Demon Sect looked at the station from afar, some water in the sky condensed, and gradually a thin rain fell.
The water vapor is covered with air, but it does not cover up the smoke from cooking.
On the contrary, on such a slightly cold rainy day, the smoke from cooking looks even more blue.
This post station is actually not an official post station. Starting from the spring of the previous year, when the war between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty began to be tight, the entire Southern Dynasties' troops were tilted towards the north, and the defense in the southwest area was a little empty, and even many post station officials and horse preparations moved to the north.
Later, Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan detoured from Tuyuhun and Dangxiang, and the army quietly entered the Southern Dynasties, which was precisely because of the emptiness of defense in the southwest and northwest areas.
The military stopped supplying military funds two years ago. Instead, some local wealthy businessmen contributed to some military personnel coming and going here. Some of the businesses of these wealthy businessmen are also related to the military.
Many businesses that can join the military to do business online are also due to these inconspicuous trivial things that have accumulated over time.
The Taoist people in the Taoist temple are not lucky enough to be the servants in the post station.
After the Southern Dynasty changed its new dynasty, Buddhism was the only one that ruled Buddhism, and many Taoists were inexplicably imprisoned, so this Taoist temple ended in the early years of Tianjian. At first, the people in the post station used the hollow space of the Taoist temple. There were many people coming and staying there, and they cleaned the Taoist temple and lived in the Taoist temple guest rooms. However, two years ago, the inn had few people, so the Taoist temple was closed, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated overgrown weeds, so almost no one was interested in stepping into it.
There was originally an old willow tree and a crabapple at the door of this temple. This willow tree and a crabapple tree are hundreds of years old. Before, the red and green complement each other and are full of vitality. However, this temple lost its popularity. After fewer people came, this old willow and a crabapple did not grow better. Instead, it was affected by the number of insects. At this time, the crabapple tree had already died, and the old willow no longer had thousands of threads like before, with branches sparse and dying.
It is hard to say that the luck of this place is temporarily.
The original Taoist temple in this place could not have imagined that if an emperor was replaced by a remote Taoist temple in Jiankang, such a remote Taoist temple could be implicated and would suddenly disappear.
Life is not about how you want it to be as good as you want it to be. On the contrary, it is almost like nine out of ten things.
For some people who are willing to make a comeback, their inexplicable luck is often like they can cook a pot of good porridge, but because the firewood is too strong, the bottom of the pot will be burnt.
The aroma is naturally impossible, but it tastes like a mouthful of smoke.
Wei Rui and Yuanyan looked at the pancakes and the golden baked hare meat brought by the people in the post station, but they didn't have much appetite.
The two had already reached an agreement on their previous opinions. Even though the Southern Emperor's letter of defence against the thief had spread all over the world, Wei Rui and Yuan Yan both felt that they could talk to the emperor. After all, Xiao Yan was not stupid. As long as certain conditions were met, he would not think that Lin Yi would threaten his throne, and would once again realize that the most terrifying enemy of the Southern Emperor at this time was the Demon Sect.
However, when the Empress Dowager, the only saint in the world, fell into the hands of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect was truly invincible. However, with the latest military information transmission, when we learned that the prince had died in the Nanhu Palace, Wei Rui and Yuan Yan understood that this matter was irreconcilable and there was no need to go to Jiankang again.
No matter how heavy the mood is and tasteless, I can't let down the kindness of the people in the station. Wei Rui reached out to take a pancake that exuded enthusiasm in his hand, but suddenly felt something and paused.
"In our Northern Wei Dynasty, the scientific research of military generals was too backward than that of the Southern Dynasties. Most of our Northern Wei generals came from various clans and royal families. Some brave and good generals were often affiliated with a certain prince, so most generals were not as worried as you did when dealing with things, because many of them only considered the choice of interests and would not worry about the country and the people."
Yuan Yan looked at Wei Rui and was a little wrong, but finally said a sentence that had been held in his heart for the past few days, "In my opinion, if you want to reduce civil strife as much as possible in the Southern Dynasties, you might as well cooperate with Lin Yi directly at this time."
"Things of the world are not as smooth as others, so it's not that simple. I'm taking you here. I really want to send you to him, but as for me... I've actually made an appointment with the Chen family and wanted to talk to the Chen family. But no matter what, I have to pass today's level first."
Wei Rui looked at her and smiled faintly. The corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles like knives, but the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.
"Is it the Demon Sect?" Yuan Yan couldn't sense anything at this time, but the meaning in Wei Rui's eyes at this time made her suddenly think of some possibility.
Wei Rui did not respond.
He could not accurately judge a practitioner whose cultivation was far above him. At this time, there was no existence of the Demon Sect in his perception, but the approaching aura, the smell of decay and death contained in it, could only be related to the Demon Sect.
He is not unfamiliar with the tribes of the Demon Sect on the northern border.
"Can you escape directly?"
Yuan Yan took a deep breath and asked.
Wei Rui shook his head.
Yuan Yan stopped talking.
Her face turned pale.
She knew that no matter whether she wanted it or not, she and Wei Rui might die here today.
...
The sound of horse hooves started.
In the cold raindrops, the rapid sound of horse hooves became clear in just a moment.
"Can't you escape alone?"
Yuan Yan suddenly felt sad. She turned her head and looked at Wei Rui and said.
She didn't know what was going on at this time, but she just felt that before her death, she seemed to be full of desire to speak.
"I am a formation master. If we talk about true essence cultivation, I am too far from the Demon Sect, but a formation master like me will have certain means as long as he stays in a place for a little longer. When sitting on the ground to form a formation, the power of the formation master is not purely measured by the realm of true essence."
Wei Rui looked at her gently and said, "And just like I can't sense where the Demon Sect is now, I can't sense the specific location of the person who has followed you along the way. But if this person is stronger than me, even if we die here, it may make the Demon Sect pay a heavy price, and maybe you can live."
"The person who followed me all the way?" Yuan Yan looked at Wei Rui incomprehensible, not even knowing what he was talking about.
"From the first day you met me, I had already sensed that someone was following you at that post station. You are the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Even if you escape in name, I am afraid that your royal brother will not let you die easily."
Wei Rui looked at her, shook his head, and said, "What I can't understand is that according to all the signs, this person may not be weaker than your royal brother... In my cognition and intelligence, it is logically impossible for the Northern Wei Dynasty to have such a practitioner."
