XIX. The Long Treading

After killing people, setting fire to the inn was a necessary procedure. After Fragmentary Star Group brought the newly joined people away, the inn that had originally been a inn had also been set on fire, and all the corpses had been burnt to ashes.

Wen Qubing and the others were all on their way. At the beginning, there were even people who were hoping for a chance, but now, everyone who had just joined knew, just what kind of situation was it that he was in right now?

"..." You knew from the beginning that if they didn't join when they were recruited, they would be killed in the end? "

Loong Yun'er asked: That's why you agreed to come in?

"You can understand it like this, but that's what they did during their Hundred Clan War anyway. It's just that the number of times they did it is limited and only limited to those who know about it …" You will think that you can win the battle on your own by relying on justice and courage, you are too naive. "

Wen Qubing said: This is a rare opportunity, I relied on these people to make a fortune, now give me so many of them, the money I bought you, I have the chance to earn some back, these hundred or so people, all of them are money, the old members of Fragmentary Star Group are even more precious … I get excited every time I see them! "

Wiping his palms anxiously, Wen Qubing did not look like he was joking. Loong Yun'er even tensed up, "Don't hurt them, I … I won't let you do that. "

Wen Qubing scoffed, "Oh? What can you do? Report me? "

"I owe a favor to the Elder Brother Wen, I will not do anything that would betray you." Loong Yun'er said seriously: "But I hope that you can let them go, they … "They have helped us in the past, if not for them, we would …"

"Humph!" The glory of the past, could it be the gold medal of the present? "This is the source of the chaos. As for leaving a way out …"

Wen Qubing said: There are more than a hundred dead people, even if it is a peaceful time, and life is not worth it, this is still a big case, if you are to let them go, why do they not let those who did not wish to join?

Loong Yun'er was at a loss for words, she really did not know what to say, and on this migration trip, she had traveled for more than three days, completely traversing the mountains, Loong Yun'er was suspicious, could it be that she had already left the range of the Yingyang County? She had never walked as far as this in her life. When she got to the second day, her feet were already in blisters and she was in excruciating pain.

If it was in the past, even if he had a noble identity and relied on his superior appearance, he would still be the target of many people around him trying to please him. How could he have the chance to suffer like this? When he walked on his own, no one would come over to help him. When he was about to fall, the people around him struggled to avoid the pressure, afraid that they would be crushed by the fat woman. It was like a completely different world.

"..." Not going to work like this? If you don't rely on your face to eat, you'll only get the price of ten copper coins at most in this auction. "

Every time he was about to collapse from exhaustion, Wen Qubing would not come over to help, and would ridicule him just like that. He was ashamed and angry, but somehow, a surge of strength would emerge from within him, forcing him to continue walking. From start to finish, he did not cry out in pain or fatigue, making others look at him as a joke.

Of course, he did not dare to expect him to come over and help. The idea was too unrealistic, even without considering the feud between him and his family, his body seemed to be worse than his own, a weak woman's. After a few days of trekking on the mountain, his muscles were sore, and he had only ground out blisters, but he was coughing more and more heavily, and his face was growing paler and paler, looking like he would vomit blood at any moment.

He still remembered that when he was young and weak, he often coughed and had a fever when he was staying in his own home, which was not something his father would appreciate. Back then, his mother was the reason for his marriage with Wen Family. It really wasn't my father … or rather, the type that the Loong Clan clan appreciated.

No matter what, why was he sweating? This man never turned back and had never asked for anyone's help. That decisive back, in his eyes, he often felt that his body was not as bad as it looked. Or perhaps, the incomparably tenacious psychic power within his weak body had long since surpassed the limits of his fleshly body?

The more I look... The more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand this man. He didn't seem to have changed at all since he was young, but at the same time, he seemed to have become completely different …

During the three days of uninterrupted travel, on the first day of rest, there were people who came to ask Wen Qubing and Loong Yun'er for their identities and names. The two people who did not confirm this question beforehand immediately had a problem.

Loong Yun'er hesitated, "... The two siblings. "

Wen Qubing frowned: "Cousin and sister-in-law."

The two different answers made the person in charge of recording frown. It also surprised Loong Yun'er, as she did not expect this man to define her relationship with him in such a way, in other words, even after so many years, he still treated her sister like that.

"Why are the two of you saying things differently? What exactly is going on? "

Loong Yun'er stammered, she did not know how to answer. In the end, it was still Wen Qubing who went forward and explained in a low voice, the clerk's face appeared to be at peace. After clasping her hands and exchanging a few polite words with Wen Qubing, she left without any doubts.

Loong Yun'er's curiosity was piqued, and she asked: How did you explain the past?

"Easy, this world is full of relatives, and cousins are siblings. That makes sense."

"Then you said …" "Elder sister's husband …"

"Cousin and cousin can be married. I married your sister, so another theory is acceptable."

"Sisters?"

"Of course, why would that fellow look so impressed if we don't exaggerate it?" Do you think a complete lie is easy to tell? "

As Wen Qubing said this, his expression suddenly changed greatly. "Aiya, this is bad, you've told the wrong lie, he saw that you're a fat granny, so he must think that your sister is also a fat granny. I don't have enough fat on one piece, but I don't think it's greasy. This life of brilliance has been ruined! "

"You … What nonsense are you talking about? " Loong Yun'er was both embarrassed and angry, but was unable to say any vulgar words, and only said: "You are the fatty! Your whole family is fat! "

Wen Qubing naturally did not care, and after continuously walking for three days, they finally reached their destination: a group of mountains that were more than two thousand meters tall. The mountain was tall and steep, like a fierce tiger lying down, making it difficult to climb up the mountain.

..." It was actually here … "He really did cross the line to the Hu Prefecture.

Wen Qubing could tell with a glance what kind of place this was with just a glance. With regards to why the remnants of the fragmentary stars were set up here, he could roughly understand that the place was concealed, easy to defend and hard to attack.

"That's right …" He didn't think about the fact that there was a famous tombstone in the middle of Tiger Mountain … "The clues went all the way up to here."

It was possible that Situ Bu Kong and the group of tomb robbers had obtained some sort of opportunity while they were still in the mountain. After finding out what happened to the tomb group near the wall, they were chased down by the remnants of the Star Fragment Sect, and along the way, they chased Wen Qubing down and killed him. Originally, these people did not know that the vicinity of the mountain stronghold was a treasure trove, but after all this commotion, they found out that they were actually living on it, they decided to gather more people to excavate it.

During the massacre at the inn, he could tell that out of these hundred or so people, those who had truly fought in the war, there were at most twenty or so of them, and how many of them had truly cared about Fragmentary Star Group before. It was hard to say for certain at the moment, but the majority of the remaining people were newly recruited, and the result of their rapid expansion was … The reason why they had so many people on their team was probably because they wanted to find treasures.

(…" The next step was to see how strong the opponent was. To dare to gather so many people to excavate a mine like this, there must at least be a High Rank that can be used as a barrier, it's not something I can deal with right now … Could there be a Earth Stage? If there was one, he would die for sure … After looking for so many people, if he really managed to find a treasure, how many people would he have left? Must be a great silencer, right?) Wen Qubing evaluated in his heart and planned some countermeasures. However, he saw that Loong Yun'er had her head lowered, looking at her writing, she wondered what she was doing. Taking a closer look, he saw that she was drawing a mountain with a piece of charcoal on her handkerchief. She was drawing a picture of a mountain.

"You even have this kind of skill?"

couldn't remember when he was young, but he was actually good at painting? The latter blushed and nodded, "I was just casually drawing it. I saw that this Faang Shan shape is very good, so I wanted to draw a few strokes. Normally, I also have the habit of drawing flowers, birds, and moons, after drawing it, I would weave it into a picture. There are many relatives who have come all the way here to ask for it. "

It had been so many years since they last met, and this girl had become a talented girl. One could well imagine, Loong Yun'er's way of saying that was modest, normally when she was at Loong Family, a large number of people would rush over, just for the beautiful woman's embroidery. Just based on her beauty, even if she was ordinary, she would still be sought after, not to mention her. Painting was so talented, and her embroidery skills were probably not ordinary either.

"..." It really is a waste. It's all useless skills. Learning these doesn't matter. What can I help you with now? An idiot. "

As usual, another round of taunts caused Loong Yun'er's face to turn red, and she wanted to refute her argument, but she heard Wen Qubing sneering: "You came to someone else's village entrance, and you're not very familiar with them, and you drew them so casually, do you really think that you're a great beauty, thanking them for everything you draw?"

Loong Yun'er was startled, and immediately knew that she had committed a grave mistake. She was writing his life down in front of the stronghold, thinking that she might lose his life at any time, but just as she was about to put the thing away, a voice suddenly sounded.

"It's not that serious. Since we're all in the group, we're all sisters, so there's no need to be too nervous. Oh, that's actually quite a good drawing."

Looking at the drawing on Loong Yun'er's handkerchief, she nodded in praise, her attitude warm and amiable. However, Loong Yun'er's heart trembled, she knew that Wen Qubing's words were true, if not for that, how could this leader have suddenly rushed here?
