Chapter 168
Feiyun state.
Kangyun county.
Taojiazhuang.
"Has everything been packed?"
Tao Yunchuan limped in from outside and asked Xu Lian inside.
"Soon."
Xu Lian answered and continued to pack her family's things.
Compared with a year ago, Xu Lian was haggard at this time, and her eyes had no previous brilliance.
Looking at his wife, Tao Yunchuan sighed and sat directly at the door, looking at the chirping chickens in the yard with a tired look in his eyes.
They're moving.
More precisely, the whole taojiazhuang is moving away.
A year ago, near Kangyun County, Qiuyun county and Dingyun County, a war broke out between the black armour guard in Feiyun Prefecture and the shadow blood sect in liewu Prefecture.
The battle ended with the victory of the black armour.
However, despite the victory at that time, the friction between Feiyun state and fierce fog state did not end.
Not only in the southeast of Feiyun state, but also at the junction of Feiyun state and liewu state, the war is burning, and the friction between the two sides is becoming more and more intense.
In order to ease the internal contradictions in liewu Prefecture, the major families in liewu Prefecture joined forces and began to put pressure on yuanshengzong of Feiyun prefecture to infiltrate into Feiyun Prefecture.
Of course yuanshengzong did not give in, so the war at the junction of the two states became more and more frequent and intense.
After the victory of the war a year ago, the black armour guards stationed reinforcements and expanded their troops again, taking back the previously lost Qiuyun county and Dingyun county.
But two months ago, the shadow blood faction increased its troops here again and robbed Qiuyun county and Dingyun county again.
Moreover, the enemy's coming is fierce, and its number and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved.
After retaking the two counties, they began to move towards Kangyun county.
Facing the enemy whose strength is several times that of the black armour garrison, the new commander of the black armour garrison in Kangyun County issued an order to give up Kangyun county.
After knowing that heijiawei gave up Kangyun County, taojiazhuang finally decided to evacuate with all the people of the village.
Today, three villages in Kangyun county have been completely entangled with black armour guards.
If the enemy of the shadow blood sect successfully seizes Kangyun County, it is bound to kill the three Zhuang people who have become one with the black armour guard.
In order to avoid possible tragedies, taojiazhuang people can only leave their hometown and go abroad.
Today, there is still one day to move the whole taojiazhuang.
Before dawn tomorrow, taojiazhuang will gather all the villagers to move together.
"Dad, are we leaving tomorrow?"
Tao Tao in broken flower clothes came over and asked Tao Yunchuan carefully.
Tao Tao is now almost six years old, taller than a year ago, and his hair has grown.
"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow."
Tao Yunchuan looked at his daughter and nodded.
Facing Tao Yunchuan's answer, Tao Tao paused, grabbed his clothes and asked tentatively, "are we not waiting for my uncle?"
Tao Yunchuan was silent when asked.
He opened his mouth and said nothing at last.
Not only Tao Yunchuan, but also Xu Lian, who packed things in the house, heard Tao Tao's words.
The wordy voice when packing things also stopped.
Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian still remember the scene when heijiawei came home.
At that time, Xu Ning had just left home for a few days and had gone to yuanshengzong, Yunying city.
But one night, black armour guards suddenly visited. Those black armour guards told them that Xu Ning and his entourage disappeared together.
Where they disappeared, others were killed.
After learning the news, Xu Lian fainted on the spot.
She has always cared for and cherished her brother, who has high hopes. Unexpectedly, she lost her trace on the way to her future. She doesn't know whether she will live or die.
Thinking of what her brother had done for the family and the warm pictures of the family in the past, Xu Lian didn't suffer a blow. She was seriously ill and didn't recover until a few months.
After that, Xu Lian looked at the door of taojiazhuang for a long time every day, hoping that Xu Ning would return home in her eyes.
However, it has been a year since Xu Ning disappeared.
His figure never entered Xu Lian's vision again.
"Your uncle..."
Tao Yunchuan paused for a long time and finally opened his mouth with difficulty: "he will find us."
"But my uncle, he doesn't know where we're going..."
Tao Tao asked, frowning away and pursing his mouth with a lost look.
Tao Yunchuan didn't know how to respond to Tao Tao.
"Sister Lian, brother-in-law!"
Just then, a voice came out of the door.
Guo ye walked into the hospital from the door.
"Are you all ready? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Guo ye went to Tao Yunchuan.
Guo ye also knew about Xu Ning's disappearance at the first time.
Guo Ye felt very sad about his best friend's experience.
In the days when Xu Ning disappeared, Guo Ye assumed Xu Ning's responsibility as a younger brother.
He will take the initiative to come home and help Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan do some chores.
Although Xu Ning left enough money and food for his family, Guo ye still sent some food, clothes and even tonics from time to time to take good care of Xu Ning's family.
"Hurry up."
Xu Lian came out of the house and helped Tao Yunchuan up who was sitting on the ground.
"Just be busy with your family. Don't worry about us."
For Guo Ye's daily help, Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan also saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts.
"Sister Lian, brother-in-law."
Seeing that there was nothing to help, Guo Ye continued, "tomorrow morning, I will bring a donkey cart and you will put your things on the donkey cart. On the way to move, we can count as a care."
Guo Ye lowered his voice: "although there are family guards on the way to move, there will be horse bandits. It's a guarantee to follow my uncle."
"Thank you, Guo Ye."
Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan also expressed their gratitude.
"In that case, I'll go first."
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Guo ye took his words to and went straight away.
"Xu Ning, this brother, didn't pay in vain..."
After Guo Ye left, Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan continued to pack things at home.
Tao Tao is squatting at the door, holding his face with his hands and staring at the path ahead.
This path is the way Xu Ning used to go home.
……
"To Feiyun state!"
At this time, Xu Ning and Wei Changqing, on the back of the giant eagle monster, have reached the boundary of Feiyun state.
After a year away from their hometown, they finally came back after countless twists and turns.
"Uncle Wei, Binglin and Zicheng, I have to go home first."
Xu Ning said to the three.
Taojiazhuang is in the south of Feiyun Prefecture, close to Jifeng Prefecture.
"This is nature!"
They certainly follow Xu Ning's idea.
After Xu Ning left Feiyun state, he had no relatives around him.
Although the three of them have been tortured, they have always been accompanied.
"Huh?"
After crossing the border between Feiyun state and Jifeng state, the giant eagle monster flew for a while.
Xu Ning, above the clouds, looked down at the ground and found something strange.
"War again?"
Xu Ning looked at the fortifications on the ground and the opposing garrison.
Seeing this, Xu Ning felt more worried about his family.
Without yourself, there is no ability to resist risks at home.
"Xiao Hui, speed up!"
Xu Ning urged the giant eagle monster under him.
The giant eagle monster has gray feathers, so it is named Xiaohui.
After hearing Xu Ning's order, Xiao Hui's range of flapping his wings increased, and the speed was a little faster.
……
Taojiazhuang gate.
Although the whole taojia village will be relocated to other places tomorrow, the guarding work in the village is still very rigorous.
Today's patrol and guard leader is Tao Yunmeng, who feels the four Qi of the world.
Tao Yunmeng is the mainstay of taojiazhuang and once gave Xu Ning a lot of help.
"Cheer up!"
Tao Yunmeng shouted to the patrol Zhuang guard: "the situation in Kangyun county is very chaotic recently. Many horse bandits are looting everywhere. Two days ago, before Tan Jiazhuang moved, it was due to careless negligence that he was looted by horse bandits, resulting in no small losses and even casualties."
"We must take warning to prevent horse bandits from looting!"
"Yes!"
The guards are also serious.
They all know the current situation, and everyone is also inspired to ensure the safety of the whole village before relocation.
Yo!
Suddenly, there was a cry in the sky.
The voice was loud and clear, with a force of oppression.
Tao Yunchuan and the patrolling Zhuang guards felt a sense of depression at the same time.
"What's that?"
At this time, a sharp eyed Zhuang guard saw a dark shadow flying towards taojiazhuang among the clouds.
"That's..."
Tao Yunmeng has strong strength and can see clearly.
He found that it was a gray giant eagle, stretching its wings and flying to taojiazhuang.
"No!"
Tao Yunmeng's face changed dramatically, and he immediately realized that the danger was approaching: "it's a monster!"
"Monster?!"
The Zhuang guard behind him trembled with his legs when he heard Tao Yunmeng's words.
They are ordinary people. Most of them have only practiced some external skills, and few internal skills.
"Come on, go and tell the patriarch!"
Tao Yunmeng quickly ordered people.
Although Tao Yunmeng thought that the patriarchs might have found the giant eagle monster, he sent someone to remind him to be cautious.
"Get ready!"
Tao Yunmeng shouted.
However, despite this instruction, Tao Yunmeng didn't know what to prepare.
In the face of this monstrous monster, he didn't know how to resist it.
Hoo Hoo!
The giant eagle monster is landing.
The strong wind made Tao Yunmeng and the Zhuang guards behind him unstable.
"It's terrible. What level of monster is this?"
Tao Yunmeng couldn't even open his eyes.
In addition to the huge wind, the oppressive feeling of the giant eagle monster also made Tao Yunmeng feel palpitation.
This sense of oppression does not exist even in the patriarch.
The giant eagle landed.
Tao Yunmeng is as fierce as an enemy.
He clenched the long knife in his hand and looked carefully.
However, on the back of the giant eagle monster, he saw a familiar figure.
"Xu Ning?!"
Kangyun county.
Taojiazhuang.
"Has everything been packed?"
Tao Yunchuan limped in from outside and asked Xu Lian inside.
"Soon."
Xu Lian answered and continued to pack her family's things.
