The white-haired girl who was not allowed to drink asked curiously.

Chen Yu took a look at this girl who rarely showed an innocent and curious side, and replied with a low smile:

"It tastes really good, but it's a pity that it's poisonous."

Although the poison is strong, it is useless to his body, otherwise he would not drink it so leisurely.

"...!"

Guan Xing was slightly startled, then lowered his voice and asked:

"who's that person?!"

"Who knows? You should know this kind of thing better than me, right?"

Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders and added:

"However, when I stopped you from drinking just now, her expression changed. Presumably she didn't want to poison you, but just wanted to get rid of me, an outsider."

"Is that so..."

The white-haired girl said thoughtfully:

"Then, I think, it should be someone from the prime minister's line who wants to welcome me back to the imperial city."

"...It's really a lot of disasters for you to come out."

Dust Feather complained.

In the court, one line of the prime minister wanted to welcome her back to take over the throne, while the other line tried to let her die on the way, so that they could attack and seize power later.

Trying to seal the alien beast alone was somewhat reckless.

If he hadn't happened to run into him in the woods, it would have been a disaster.

However, she is still only a 12-year-old child for the time being. Even though she has been smart and proficient in formation techniques since she was a child, she is still a little childish and reckless in other aspects, which is understandable.

"The Zhiyang alien beast is about to come into the world. If you ignore it, then even if you regain the power of the Huang Kingdom and sit back on the throne, my subjects will definitely be miserable in the future."

Guan Xing explained the reason, and then said quietly:

"Three years ago, General Youlan led an army of 30 people to fight against the alien beast [Yan Luo]. Although he finally succeeded in killing [Yan Luo], most of the 30 soldiers were buried in Baizhangyuan."

She didn't want to see such a large number of sacrifices happen again.

"Mr. Assassin, I know you have great abilities, but with your full strength, can you defeat this strange beast [Yan Luo]?"

the white-haired girl asked.

This is equivalent to using his own strength to reach 30 troops.

She originally wanted to use such a question to embarrass Mr. Assassin, so that he would retreat in the face of difficulties——

Although I invited Mr. Assassin to go with me on the trip to seal the beast, but after all, that is her responsibility alone, not Chen Yu's. After the seabed altar, she can go alone...

Unexpectedly, the Mr. Assassin next to him thought about it seriously and replied:

"Although I haven't seen the weapons and armaments used by your soldiers, it shouldn't be a big problem."

As long as it is not 【Final Yan】, his full output will not be feared by any enemy.

Stargazer: "..."

Really, why is she a little bit unconvinced?

"...Anyway, what do we do now?"

The white-haired girl asked in a low voice.

Chen Yu casually replied:

"She didn't succeed once, and she will definitely find another chance to come tonight, and it will be fine to get her done then."

..............................

night.

After proofing the inn, the cherry-colored girl took advantage of the night to sneak into a room.

This is the room where the stargazer lives.

She prepared a handkerchief covered with sweat medicine, intending to stun His Majesty and bring it back to the imperial city overnight.

Using shrewd techniques, she quietly opened the door and entered it.

The white-haired girl was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

She was only a few steps away from the stargazing, and the girl's figure was approaching quickly, but when she was about to arrive, she felt vigilant, and turned around suddenly, avoiding a sword flying from the dark.

"...!"

"Is this how an inn treats guests?"

Chen Yu stepped out of the pitch-black shadows.

He has been holding his breath and staying here, waiting for the opponent to make a move.

"You are really fine..."

The cherry-colored girl was a little surprised, she didn't notice the other party's whereabouts at all, but she insisted:

"Please hand over His Royal Highness Guan Xing to me."

"That won't work."

Chen Yu shook his head.

"No matter what, His Royal Highness Guan Xing cannot leave the Huang Kingdom and go to the Western Regions."

The cherry-colored girl whispered:

"I will do everything in my power to save His Highness Guan Xing."

After saying that, she made a sudden move, turning into a phantom with a dagger in her hand, and pounced on Chen Yu.

Chen Yu casually raised her head and grabbed her arm. With a little force, a "click" sound was heard, and the girl's arm was already broken.

He didn't use too much ability, even relying solely on physical fitness, it is enough to walk sideways in this era.

Looking at the pink-haired girl who was sweating on her head, Chen Yu whispered:

"This is your punishment for poisoning me. You are very similar to a friend of mine, and you didn't do it for profit. I don't want to kill you, but if you insist on stopping me, I can only let you lie down honestly." It's been a while."

"Mr. Assassin..."

The white-haired girl who was pretending to sleep on the bed sat up.

She came to the two of them and looked at the face of the cherry-colored girl through the night. After a while, she finally recognized her identity:

"You are the Anbu ninja from the Prime Minister's side. I remember your name, Yae."

"Master Guan Xing, please return to the palace, Huang Kingdom needs you."

The cherry-colored girl begged.

"Sorry, I have more important things to do, so I can't go back for now."

Stargazer shook his head and refused:

"I know exactly what I should do, time is running out, please stop persuading me."

"However, the country cannot live without an owner!"

Yae knelt down and begged:

"His Royal Highness, please think twice!"

"...Compared to the power struggle among the royal families, I care more about the common people in the world, please go back."

The white-haired girl responded with a sigh.

"...At least, let my guards be by your side to accompany you to defend against the enemy."

Yae sees that Stargazing has made up his mind, so he asks for the next best thing.

Guan Xing glanced at Chen Yu beside him, and refused:

"With Mr. Assassin by my side, I am safe enough."

"He...is unknown, I'm afraid it's not safe."

Yae lowered his head and said.

Of course, although the identity is indeed difficult to refute, but the strength does crush oneself.

She can subdue her in one move, and she only knew General Youlan in the past.

If His Majesty Guan Xing believed him, he might indeed be able to protect His Majesty...

"On this point, we have our own judgment."

"...The subordinate understands."

The sakura-colored girl finally agreed to the plan of stargazing, and the matter on her mind was settled, and the pain caused by the fracture came to her heart suddenly and violently.

Watching Xing saw her pinched arm, showing a hint of distress.

However, after all, she was the one who struck first, and it was reasonable to be punished by Mr. Assassin's counterattack.

"Give me your hand."

Chen Yu said suddenly.

"……Eh?"

Yae looked at the other party timidly, but still obeyed his words, and stretched out his arms again.

He held the part of Yae crushed by him again, and after a burst of soft white light flooded, the arm returned to its original state without any scars.

"This, what kind of spell is this..."

Yae looked at the pain-free arm with some surprise.

"So be it."

Dust Feather shrugged.

"...Thanks, sorry."

The pink-haired girl bowed slightly, and said solemnly:

"I'm here waiting for the return of the two of you. Please rest early tonight, so that you can leave the customs as soon as possible tomorrow."

Chapter 5

About my accidental wounding of General Youlan

The next day, everything in the inn in Ziyuan Town was as usual, as if what happened last night had never happened. The guests coming and going drank heavily and talked loudly.

Yae bowed slightly, watching Chen Yu and Guan Xing go away on a camel.

After leaving Ziyuan Town, there is the endless desert of the Western Regions. If you don't use this kind of animal to ride, Chen Yu will have no problem, and the physique of stargazing will definitely not last long.

"Ah... A few years ago, the desert of the Western Regions was originally a piece of fertile land, which was extremely suitable for the subjects to live in. I still remember that there were a few small countries on the edge of the Western Regions, but unfortunately, they were all destroyed with the arrival of alien beasts. Even this whole piece of land is no longer capable of growing any plants."

Guan Xing rode on the camel, said with a slight sigh.

This is the erosion disaster that Honkai can bring. Even if the alien beast has been expelled and wiped out, the traces it left will be engraved on the land for a long time.

"Don't Huang Kingdom have the means to manage this alienated environment?"

Chen Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, there are, but the speed of repairs is completely inferior to the frequency of appearance and destruction of alien beasts. In the end, the territory of our Huang Kingdom is shrinking day by day."

The white-haired girl shook her head slightly.

As they continued to move forward, the small town behind them became farther and farther away, and the desert ahead became wider and wider.

The criss-crossing sand dunes stretched endlessly before their eyes, seemingly without end.The wind was blowing their clothes, and the sand was rustling under their feet, as if carefully telling the history and secrets of this desolate place.

Continuing to move forward all the way, Chen Yu and Guan Xing soon completely submerged in the yellow sand.The yellow sand was like a thick blanket, covering their figures deeply.

They came to an ancient battlefield, where there were either erected or lying weapons, some of them were still intact, and some of them were already broken.There are also some worn armor, scattered on the sand, casually recording the passing years.A few broken battle flags fluttered in the wind, as if they were describing the battle situation of that year.
