After listening to Yu Shiqi's explanation of the question in his mind, Xilingyue searched for his memory about Liu Yike in his mind, and soon realized that Liu Yike did not seem to have left any widespread rumors. Even though he had conquered the ten evils for the Jianghu

Such well-known achievements are often mentioned only in words.

"According to the custom of the Desolate Sect, Senior Liu will definitely leave his own crusade files when he was the sect leader, right?" Xilingyue guessed, "When you return to Yunzhongjian, you may be able to learn more about her from those files.

"

"What's strange to me is that Senior Liu seems to appear out of thin air. If I hadn't seen her coming to challenge the master, I can't even imagine what she was doing before becoming the acting grand master of the Desolate Sect...

"Yu Shiqi said doubtfully.

Xilingyue fell into deep thought, and she also agreed with Yu Shiqi's opinion in her heart.

"I remember that in Wuyue, Yue'er, you accompanied me to Liu Yike's Sword Sect Dojo. The scene there was also desolate and dilapidated. The Liu family's Tianli Taichangliu branch is also a sect in the world today.

Nameless. When most people mention Liu Yike, they will first say that she is from the Liu Sword Sect, and then they will know that she was the chief sect leader of the Desolate Sect. This is very abnormal, isn't it? "

Xilingyue nodded blankly. Last time when Wuyue obtained the pair of swords from Qiuye and Cunying, they were very surprised by the decline of the Tianli Taichangli branch sect. Now thinking about it carefully, although Liu Yike

She is famous all over the world, but almost no one knows what she was doing before she became the head of the Desolate Sect.

Except for briefly going to Beijing to receive a title and taking a temporary post in the Imperial Martial Arts Department, did she spend the first half of her life guarding the small dojo in Wuyue, with only two or three disciples by her side?

"I'm afraid only people who have been close to Senior Liu know this... By the way, I guess the commander of the Jinyi Guards who handed you the key to the Wuyue Sword Sect's dojo might know something?" Xilingyue had an idea in her mind.

now.

"Lord Zhu..." Yu Shiqi thought thoughtfully. If Liu Yike had served in the Imperial Military Division, he must have had a lot of interactions with Zhu Zhi. Maybe he could actually find out something from the Jin Yiwei commander.

"Why do you suddenly care so much about Liu Yike?"

"It's nothing, it probably has something to do with the third leader of the bandits, Ji Yuanyu, whom I met before." Yu Shiqi replied after thinking for a while.

Xilingyue raised her eyebrows: "Because of that fool? You don't really want to go to Huanglong Village in Yingyangling, do you?"

Yu Shiqi recalled Ji Yuanyu's expression of hesitation when he left, and said: "My intuition tells me that he and several other horse bandit leaders in Huanglong Village may have something to do with Senior Liu."

"No way...how is this possible?"

Yu Shiqi didn't refute her, but he had his own thoughts in his heart. He reached out and patted Xi Lingyue's shoulder: "Go to rest early, we have to continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Xilingyue jumped onto the cargo compartment of the carriage, walked onto the carpet, and let out a dissatisfied snort: "You are in such a hurry, do you want to send me to the Snow Sect earlier so that I can let go? Cough cough... cough...

…”

Yu Shiqi climbed up soon after, lying on his side and staring at her little face that looked uncomfortable due to coughing, and said warmly: "The young shopkeeper is ill, it is best to go back early to recover."

Xilingyue frowned slightly, but did not talk back to him. After a while, she excused herself from being squeezed, curled up and moved her head towards Yu Shiqi's arms.

"I also hope that my health will get better soon."

Yu Shiqi, who was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, heard Xi Lingyue burying her head in his arms and whispering. He blinked, raised his hand and gently put his arm around her shoulders, patted her back with his palm and said, "I will definitely do it."

"I know that I can only continue to help you if I can recover myself first." Her voice was soft but full of determination, "Qiu Wanding was so difficult to deal with when he was just a man who had not recovered his skills. I think the battle with the evil will be very dangerous in the future. You

Be more careful."

"Don't worry, I've been growing too." Yu Shiqi heard her uneasiness and comforted her softly.

The businessmen were still chatting in groups around the bonfire, but two young people who were exhausted both physically and mentally were already sleeping hugging each other in the cargo compartment of the carriage. In this cold wilderness night, the crackling sound of the bonfire was actually very loud.

A reassuring force.

I don't know how much time passed, but Yu Shiqi was still asleep. Xilingyue in her arms had already made a steady and slight snoring sound. The business travelers not far away also stopped talking and prepared to go to bed, but the tranquility of the night was interrupted at this moment.

The roar of horse hooves broke.

Yu Shiqi woke up suddenly. He stood up and held on to the edge of the cargo compartment to look in the direction of the sound. He saw more than ten people riding fast horses and carrying torches galloping towards him.

Xilingyue, who also woke up, looked pale and tired. She held Yu Shiqi's shoulders and asked, "Is it the horse bandit again?"

"It looks like..." Yu Shiqi vaguely saw weapons from the knights who were approaching quickly.

"Could it be that Ji Yuanyu couldn't bear the pain of being lectured by you at the inn, so she summoned helpers to make a comeback?" Xilingyue said through gritted teeth.

"Probably not." Yu Shiqi shook his head, stretched out his hand to jump off the cargo compartment, turned around and looked after Xiling Yue: "Yue'er, just stay here, I'll go and send them away."

Xi Lingyue felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't explain the reason. She counted the number of uninvited guests coming from a distance, and there were about sixteen riders. If they were just ordinary bandits in the Western Wilderness, there was no need to worry, but she always

I feel like something is going to happen tonight.

Looking at the back of Yu Shiqi walking forward, Xilingyue recalled the dream she had when she fell asleep briefly, and sweat broke out from her heart and back.

In that strange dream, she saw that she and Yu Shiqi were separated by the "earth"... To be precise, it was not the real earth, but more like a mirror or calm water. She stood on this end, Yu Qi

Shiqi stood on the other side like a reflection, with the soles of each other's feet facing each other. In that dream, even if she lay on the ground screaming and beating the ground, Yu Shiqi underneath could not notice her presence.

"Yu Shiqi..." Xilingyue suddenly felt an inexplicable fear of being left alone in the car. She was about to jump off the cargo bed and catch up with Yu Shiqi when a black shadow suddenly flew in front of her and rushed towards the door.

Xilingyue subconsciously closed her eyes and raised her hands to cover it, but the thing was a step faster and passed her before she raised her arm.

A soft, sticky, slightly warm touch passed over her eyelids, and in an instant she felt a strong sense of numbness. When Xilingyue came back to her senses, she found that she had just closed them out of instinct to protect herself.

His eyes could no longer be opened.

Is it a bat... She quickly calmed down from her initial panic and deduced that the thing that attacked her just now should be a certain kind of bat unique to the Western Wilderness. The saliva of this bat is equivalent to a powerful anesthetic, and it only takes one touch to kill her.

Li's licking temporarily took away the feeling from most of her face.

"Yu..." Yu Shiqi's voice calling for help was stuck at the bottom of her throat, and a cold, short-arc knife came around from behind and was placed on the side of her neck.

"Isn't it okay if you keep wearing that mask?" After the woman who succeeded in the sneak attack restrained Xilingyue with the knife in her right hand, she reached into her arms with her left hand and took out the white wooden mask.

Xilingyue couldn't open her eyes and could only rely on her hearing to sense the surrounding situation. When she was attacked, she vaguely heard the sound of a sword being drawn. It seemed that Yu Shiqi was pulling out Qiu Ye.

The person behind her saw her face turned sideways and her ears twitching slightly, and said jokingly: "What, you are worried about your lover even if you can't protect yourself?"

"You don't really think you can deal with him with those dozen horse bandits, do you?" Xilingyue replied without showing any signs of weakness.

The other party smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry, I dare to take action against you, and I will naturally arrange someone to deal with that kid."

At this moment, in the front where Xilingyue could not see, the road guards in the business trip gathered together to protect the employer and the goods. Yu Shiqi rushed forward alone with his sword drawn. Qiuye knocked several people off their horses with continuous slashes.

He had not yet noticed that Xiling Yue was in trouble behind him, and all his attention was devoted to fighting the enemy in front. Judging from the attire of the fallen horse bandits, it seemed that these bandits were not the same group as Ji Yuanyu who had attacked the inn before.

The seventh person fell to the ground and rolled around twice. The black scarf covering his face was also torn off, revealing a face that looked very different from Chen Lin's.

"Barbarians?" Yu Shiqi was shocked. He didn't expect that these horse bandits who came to attack the caravan were composed of barbarians from the Western Wilderness.

He stepped forward and knocked the man unconscious with a sword, and then faced the eighth rider coming from behind.

On the back of the eighth horse was a burly man. The first time Yu Shiqi looked at him, he felt strangely familiar. What made him even more incredible was that the other man actually lost his legs while the horse was sprinting.

He threw off the stirrups and squatted on the saddle.

The next moment, the man jumped directly from the saddle. The huge force when kicking made the mount below let out an unbearable whine. The horse that was running at high speed suddenly stumbled and fell to its knees, while the burly man was already tall and tall.

Leap in mid-air.

This person is different from the seven people before! Yu Shiqi raised his head and looked up, and his heart instantly became nervous.

"Hit!" The burly man leaping in the air roared angrily, and the bronze ax thrown out with one arm slashed down with the force of splitting the mountain.
Chapter completed!
