Chapter 5 Returning at night
The Seventh Border Defense Army of the Ster Empire
Su Lu was very irritable.
"I handed over a total of 174 heads, which were the heads of 174 Qingshan bandits." Su Lu looked at the unpretentious military officer in front of him and roared: "I have been waiting for three days. Before the military reward has been released, you, a plague god, come first."
"One hundred and seventy-four heads." The quarantine nodded and confirmed: "The Qingshan bandits have indeed caused us a lot of trouble, but I have never heard of so many teenage children in Qingshan bandits who were holding big swords to chop people."
"What do you mean?" Su Lu said with a vicious look at the other party.
"There are old and young people in the heads of the 174 people you handed in. Of course, you are not stupid enough to get the merits with a woman's head, which makes me very relieved, but the youngest boy is only fifteen years old, and the oldest man is almost seventy years old. If the Qingshan thief is such a group of mobs, then how incompetent we have made them so rampant that they have not yet been suppressed today?" The quarantine said with a faint smile on his eyes.
"Are you suspicious of me killing Liang and taking credit?" Su Lu Qili was angry: "I am the captain of the imperial army no matter how you say it is. Can I do that kind of dirty thing?"
"Then let's go to Liujiatun to have a look?" The quarantine officer looked at Su Lu and said with a smile.
The moment the quartermaster said the three words Liujiatun, Su Lu's expression changed instantly.
He raised his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at the quarantine in front of him.
The quarconian quietly raised a finger.
His finger was horizontally beside him, and this finger also blocked the quarantine's sword. The sharp blade slashed directly into the middle of the finger, but it didn't even cut the oily skin. Su Lu only felt that he was slashing on the hardest steel. The huge recoil force made him almost unable to hold the saber. The quarantine in front of him still looked smiling, and there was no unexpected look because of Su Lu's sudden turn against him.
"That's all." The quarantine officer looked at Su Lu: "Who are you leading the team at that time? Let's go back to Liujiatun to see?"
Su Lu trembled all over: "Who are you? You will definitely not be a bullshit quartermaster. Those big men are not allowed to use such tricks to deal with me, an unknown man."
"I'm just an unknown person." The qualifier looked at Su Lu and smiled: "But do you think your so-called big man look like this?"
As he said this, the finger he had just stretched out slowly burst out with golden flames, illuminating the entire dim officer's room with lights.
Looking at the golden flames bursting out from the quarantine's fingers, Su Lu was shocked incomparable at the first time, followed by a cold and terrified fear. He covered his mouth tightly and slowly sat on the floor like a bone was being pulled away.
Then he began to smash his head on the floor frantically. The fierce imperial soldier used almost suicide power to pound garlic, but he didn't seem to be kowtowing and begging for mercy.
It's more like being surprised by what's going on in front of you for a moment and even having to use pain to suppress your fear.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Looking at the man in front of him, the quarantine officer said to him in a tone that almost comforts the child: "I won't kill your whole family. I just asked you to take the team that day and go to Liujiatun again. We will have a happy cooperation, okay?"
Listening to the very perfunctory comfort of the quarantine, Su Lu finally slowly came back from his fear. He looked at the strange quarantine in front of him, and blood from his forehead flowed down from his eyebrows.
He closed his eyes.
"Follow His Highness's orders."
...
...
Su Ziye came back very late.
But no matter how late he came back, Liu Ru could wait.
Because Liu Ru didn't sleep at all.
She is really sleepy.
After all, I haven’t had a good sleep for a long time. I took a hot bath and ate two meals full. Is there anything more advanced immortal enjoying in this world than having a beautiful sleep?
But Liu Ru still didn't sleep.
She was afraid that she would fall asleep while sitting, so she tied her hair to the beam of the room with a rope, and then stood in the middle of the room waiting for Su Ziye to come back.
So when Su Ziye came back, he happened to see Liu Ru's head hanging beam shape.
"What kind of shape is this? It's quite unique." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and smiled.
Liu Ru blushed instantly. In her original plan, she immediately removed her sleep prevention measures after hearing Su Ziye's sound of going upstairs and opening the door.
But she never expected that Su Ziye would really have no sound when she came back.
She could only untickle the rope in a hurry and did not explain.
Anyway, she believed that a smart person like Su Ziye would definitely know what was going on.
"Go to bed quickly. We will go to another place tomorrow." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and said lightly, without continuing to mock the other party's behavior of hanging his head.
"Where?" Liu Ru couldn't help asking.
Su Ziye looked at her, as if she had thought for a moment, and finally told the other party the answer.
"Liujiatun."
Liu Ru seemed to be burned by a burnt iron, and this familiar name became the scar that she least wanted to touch.
"Have you gone to Liujiatun?" Liu Ru murmured: "Do you don't trust me?"
No one can testify for everything Liu Ru said before, but if Su Ziye really went to Liujiatun by himself, then he could tell whether what he said was true or false.
Liu Rushi knew clearly that her hometown had become a purgatory on earth. At this time, she looked at Su Ziye with a chill all over her body: "Since you have been there, you already know that what I said is true."
"If that's the case, I won't go tomorrow."
The cruelest thing in this world is to reopen the healing scars.
What's more, this scar has never healed.
"What if this is a request, or even an order?" Su Ziye said quietly at Liu Ru.
This time he didn't laugh.
"Next I will go to Yeye Academy, of course, you will go with me. After this, you may never return here in your life."
"So, tomorrow we go to Liujiatun is a simple farewell. Of course, there may be some unexpected surprises, but in terms of its origin, this is just a farewell."
"You will say goodbye to your past self completely and then move towards a new life."
As she said this, Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru and waited for her answer.
"Are you order?" Liu Ru murmured.
She once secretly decided to go through fire and water for this young man.
But she never expected that the most hurtful thing she had when she went through fire and water for the first time was herself.
"Okay." Liu Ru finally said briefly.
Chapter completed!
