Every time you kill someone, every time you get contaminated with blood, Xia Lan will find that her essence is still a cold-blooded and ruthless person. ☆→

Don't ask whether it's right or wrong, just seek pros and cons.

Perhaps he is a complete demon in the eyes of others, a pathological murderer with distorted psychological conditions, but so what? He used to be an ordinary person with normal values ​​among all living beings, but in the end he realized that this world full of malicious intentions could not accommodate his kindness.

If he wants to live, if he wants strength, if he wants to realize his wish-

Then, he must pick up the butcher's knife and cut off his weakness and conscience, transform into an emotional Shura, and die without regrets if he can be pointed at by thousands of people.

Unfortunately, he did not do this after all, because he is a person, not a murder tool without thoughts and emotions. People's hearts are changeable, but tools cannot, because tools have no hearts.

...

The carriage that acted as an obstacle fortress in the narrow mountain road was already in ruins. The goods inside were all lost in the impact and collision just now. They used the virtual ring to collect them cleanly. Then they forged the traces of fighting on the battlefield. Xia Lan stepped on a war horse that had lost its master and rode forward without looking back.

About a quarter of an hour, perhaps more than once, the familiar ground vibration appeared again, but the source of this vibration was not behind him, but in front.

There are many places where people can be hidden in the mountain road. You can easily hide by just drilling into the dense forests on both sides. Xia Lan did not hide because he did not need to hide.

In fact, his opinion was right. The same cavalry that caused the shock in front of him was also a cavalry, but this cavalry was not an enemy. It was the reinforcements Joanna fled to the pass.

Hearing the report of Viscount Kalin betraying the Kingdom and even sending troops to intercept the ancient road merchants and brigades. The commander of the pass garrison who learned the news immediately sent elite knights under his command to investigate the truth. Such terrifying information that concerns the safety of the Kingdom is often more trustworthy than trustless, and no one would dare to spread false information casually.

The captain who led the cavalry to conduct reconnaissance was a veteran soldier with many battles. When he saw Xia Lan riding his horse alone in the mountain road, he first thought of the snitch lady in a hurry. According to her description, his brother was in a tough battle to intercept the rebels' pursuit, and emphasized that the other party was wrapped in bandages and seemed weird. In fact, he was a very good person. Don't judge people by their appearance and cause misunderstandings.

"Who is coming from the front?"

Squeezing the horse and raising his hand to stop the team, the soldier named Yule asked Xia Lan loudly.

"Little Min Alan! Do you dare to ask if you are the garrison of the pass ahead?"

Xia Lan turned over and dismounted, bowed her head and bent down, her tone was filled with a hint of awe and nervousness. If she wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to show appropriate disguise.

"Are you Alan?" Yule frowned and asked when he heard the other party's hoarse and ugly voice.

"Yes, sir!" Xia Lan lowered her eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Do you know me?"

"That's right! Not long ago, your sister sent us an urgent request for help. You are being chased by Viscount Carlin's army!" Yule confirmed the other party's identity and said, "But why did you appear here?"

"Report to the master! I ran away privately because the young man was too scared." Xia Lan said with trembling all over.

Yule snorted coldly. He hated such a guy who escaped in the face of trouble the most. It was a good thing that his sister said was nice, but unexpectedly she was a coward. She no longer gave the other person a good face, and her eyes were full of contempt.

"Now I order you to take me to the battle site where the incident happened!"

"Sir... I'm obedient." Xia Lan secretly glanced at the other party and wanted to speak but stopped, but finally had no choice but to agree.

After a while, they arrived at the battlefield where corpses were fighting all over the field. Seven or eight war horses that had not fled were lowering their heads and chewing on the grass beside the forest. They didn't panic when they saw Yule's cavalry arrived. Perhaps they were used to this kind of scene.

"It's really tragic!"

A knight subconsciously sighed after seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield.

"Team one and two teams! Survey the battlefield, no details are allowed to be left out!" Yule looked around with expressionless face, then turned over and dismounted and walked around the carriage where the corpse was the most concentrated.

"Hey! I know this guy! Isn't he a knight named Fernley under Viscount Carlin? I had a drink with him in Lin'an Town when I was on vacation two years ago!"

At this time, a knight pointed to a corpse on the ground and said in surprise.

"We all know these mercenaries, from the Shanying Mercenary Group! The elite scouts who had retired from the border garrison on the Kingdom, did not expect that they all died here today." Another knight said.

These knights surveyed for a long time and decided to return to the pass after confirming that the pursuit of cavalry was indeed affiliated with Viscount Kalin. As for the problems that happened afterwards, they were not allowed to get involved with them. The forged traces of fighting by Xia Lan successfully made the other party believe that both sides died together, and at least they would not find any abnormal suspicion on him.

Although the cavalry was careless and friendly to Xia Lan, he didn't take it seriously at all. He just thought that Joanna and his daughter should be safe and sound for the time being. After this incident, he noticed in advance that even if Viscount Carlin's betrayal of the Angrien Kingdom, even if it could not change the original trajectory of destruction in history, it would at least delay the destruction time.

With the cavalry back to the pass, Xia Lan and Joanna did not leave immediately after reuniting. It was not that they didn't want to, but that the pass garrison needed to ask the two of them in detail. Fortunately, Joanna knew the importance and did not disclose the matter about the teleportation array at all. She only emphasized that it was the Mountain Eagle Team who accidentally discovered Viscount Kalin's betrayal and suffered this unforgettable disaster.

After asking several questions for a day, the pass garrison finally agreed to let them go and strictly ordered that the news of Viscount Kalin's treason was not allowed to be revealed. Because the carriage was destroyed on the mountain road, they could only ride to Linquan Town. Nina, who was not used to the bumps of the horseback, was getting worse and worse. Even the psychotropic agent was difficult to take effect. She even vomited several times on the way, which made Joanna feel like a knife and she thought about arriving in Linquan Town soon and allowing Nina to recuperate and treat her.

From early morning to evening, they walked and stopped for nearly a day before they arrived in Linquan Town.

It seems that this place is not affected by the border war at all. Businesses and traveling can be seen everywhere, and the streets and alleys are filled with bustling and bustling scenes. Among them, the most prosperous business is hotels. I searched for four or five Xialans and found a hotel with two rooms.

At first, Joanna was still worried about the loss of property, but she never thought that Xia Lan told her that the property was fine and everything was safe. When she recalled the "magic" that Xia Lan once made for their mother and daughter in the carriage, Joanna naturally believed it.

Shortly after settling down, Xia Lan and Joanna greeted each other and left. In public occasions like hotels, he was not afraid of anything happening to the mother and daughter.

Thanks to his strange appearance of bandages, he once again became the focus of pedestrians' attention when walking on the street. Perhaps it was fortunate that there were no patrol teams to seek trouble this time.
