Huangfu Xiong stayed there for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and said while unable to hold back tears: "...Brother, then, what should we do next..."
Huangfu Zhong walked around the yard for a long time with his hands folded. Then, after remembering something, his anxious and restless heart suddenly calmed down. "Wait. As long as the Huangfu family doesn't send troops to pursue us, we'll be safe. When the poisonous insect matures, we won't be afraid even if they come."
Huangfu Xiong knew that since he had stolen his father's precious Gu worm, it would be impossible for him to return. If he didn't follow Huangfu Zhong, he really didn't think he could survive independently. If he was caught, he would be dead. "As long as my father doesn't know, I will follow you no matter what you do, big brother!"
Huangfu Zhong nodded in satisfaction and pulled the poor guy who was lying on the ground up: "That's right. Now, calm down. We still have important things to do."
"Um."
The man who had entrusted everything to Huangfu Zhong didn't realize that if he weren't still useful to others, and if he weren't the only one who knew how to feed the growing Gu worm, Huangfu Zhong would have thrown him away the moment he got the worm, just because of his cowardly appearance. To Huangfu Zhong, as long as the Gu worm matured, this burden could be discarded at will.
... Elsewhere, on a nearly deserted mountain path, horrifying cries, resembling the howling of ghosts and wolves, echoed through the deep woods. Fortunately, due to the depth of the forest, these unbearable sounds were heavily attenuated and did not disturb too many people.
Due to the harassment of inhuman creatures these days, Chen Xin and his companions were not in a very good mental state along the way; I don’t know who said something at that time, saying that Chen Xin was also a great singing god when he was in Liuxiang Tavern, which caused Chen Xin to suddenly become arrogant and insisted on performing for everyone.
After Shen Xin spoke, the people who had been dozing off on horseback suddenly became alert. Hong Yu even covered his ears and howled, "I say, who of you just said that Shen Xin should wake up? Come out here, or I will kill him!"
The people traveling with them covered their ears and said helplessly, "...We don't know who it is. Besides, the Second Master never said a word. We were really just curious and didn't expect it to be such a demonic sound!"
Among the group of people who were desperate to live, only Chen Xin and Liang Shuyi didn't know whether there was something wrong with their ears or their brains. One was immersed in his own singing, and the other was immersed in the so-called singing of others.
The followers looked at Liang Shuyi's intoxicated expression. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they would have really thought that Chen Xin was the legendary singing god. "But why do I see that Madam seems to be listening with great interest? Are her ears okay?"
Hong Yusheng looked up at the sky with despair and said expressionlessly, "Maybe this is love!"
However, it wasn't long before Hong Yu was on the verge of collapse, repeatedly testing the waters: "How long do we have to walk to get to Gyeonggi? I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the beating!"
The attendant who was closest to Hong Yu took out a map and looked at the direction. He said, "Based on our current pace, even if we travel day and night, it will take at least half a month to get there."
Hong Yu, hearing this, suggested with a somewhat amused look, "Can't we just get a faster horse, or just run?"
The attendant said helplessly, "Miss Hong Yu, are you kidding me? It's okay for a short distance, but for a long journey like this, no human can run as fast as this horse."
"Ahhh, I really can't stand it anymore. You guys lead the horses first. I'll go to the front to calm down. See you later." As soon as the words fell, the person who was on the horse's back a second ago suddenly jumped onto a tree. Using the branches as a fulcrum, he rushed out in a flash and turned into a small red dot in the forest.
Seeing Hong Yu busy escaping from Chen Xin's "claws", the attendant quickly raised his voice to remind her, "Young lady, don't run too far. The Second Master will soon be unable to sing. It's true!"
Hong Yu didn't know how far she had run. Anyway, she stopped when she could no longer hear what Chen Xin was singing in a mess.
After resting against the tree for a while, Hong Yu turned around and said with a smile towards the bushes, "It's really a relief that you can endure it. Chen Xin has pushed you so hard, and you can still follow me so calmly."
Lianguang, realizing her whereabouts had been exposed, stepped out and said, "Miss Huijue, my master asked me to protect you. He said that once your business is done, I will escort you back to Nanyue."
Hong Yu hadn't noticed this little tail behind him before, but now that Lian Guang had suddenly appeared, he was sure that this zombie was indeed related to Shi Zairong. Seeing Lian Guang's exhausted appearance, Hong Yu casually threw the water bottle from his waist to him: "My work won't be over for a while. It's all thanks to you. You've been following him all this time, haven't you? You suddenly came to me. I guess you haven't had much rest these days?"
Lian Guang drank the water contentedly and handed the kettle back with both hands: "Everything was fine along the way, thank you, Miss."
After Hong Yu put away the empty kettle, he smiled and said, "Alright, you've worked hard, so I won't ask about other matters."
Lian Guang was somewhat flattered when she heard this and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Miss!"
Hong Yu cleared his throat and changed the subject, "But, I still have to ask. How much does he know about Mo Yu?"
Lian Guang replied succinctly, "I already know everything I can and want to know."
Hong Yu sighed slightly and said, "Go back and tell him that I have an unfinished engagement with a woman. I'll go back after the war is over. He's already waited for two years, so he shouldn't mind waiting another year or two."
Originally, there were some things that a subordinate like him shouldn't say, but Lian Guang also saw how good Shi Zairong was to Hong Yu, so there were some things he had to remind: "Miss Hui Jue, forgive Lian Guang for being blunt, but you don't have to go to such lengths for a dead person. You know better than Lian Guang how the master treats you."
Hong Yu heard the singing getting closer. To avoid unnecessary conflict between Lian Guang and Shen Xin and the others, he quickly said, "I know. That's why I want to stay. I don't want to spend the rest of my life thinking about another man and remembering the promise we made to him."
