In the desert in winter, the cold wind is bleak.

The breeze swept the scattered snowflakes, hitting the sandy city walls, the cold air stayed here, and the snowflakes accumulated.

The desert town, which is only two miles in a radius, is like a leaf floating on the sea, like a lonely boat in the river.

Since yesterday, the weather has become bad.

The strong wind blew all night, and the snow in the desert was blown a lot, piled up in a corner of the sand city, forming a snow peak. The snow peak almost passed through the walls of the sand city and entered the city.

In the early morning, the strong wind stopped and the air was cold, as if it could instantly freeze people and drip water into ice.

Huang Yuchen had woken up. Within two days, he turned the entire sand city several times, but did not find any arrangements that could be used to resist the defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion.

It is more appropriate to say that this is a city with a wall, and a larger village is more appropriate.

Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an recovered as they were in two days, especially Qi Zhengye. After waking up, he added the amount of unconsciousness for two days with a meal, which really shocked several of the guys who delivered the meal.

Liu Xingan did not ask about Huang Yuchen's cultivation. He knew that after the incident of Chihong Sect, Huang Yuchen had some changes, but he did not want to explore what had happened.

After the two woke up, Huang Yuchen explained in detail the current situation to them. Shacheng was about to usher in the defeated soldiers of the Western Prince's Mansion, and they may also face a crisis.

Qi Zhengye and Liu Xingan did not express much opinions on this matter, but just chuckled and said nothing. They followed Huang Yuchen according to their teacher's orders, and no matter where Huang Yuchen went, they would follow them.

After practicing, Huang Yuchen's entire chest vortex was filled with pure fire elements. Although the condensation process was very long, he now had greater confidence than before. Even if he left Sand City directly, he was not afraid of anyone stopping it. But his mentality had undergone some subtle changes. Now it was not that he was forced to stay in Sand City, but that he chose to stay in Sand City by himself.

Huang Yuchen felt that he was responsible for the defeated army of the Western King's Mansion. As a child of the Eastern King's Mansion and as the younger brother of the current Emperor Qitian, he felt that he was obliged to do anything that happened in Qitian. Although Shacheng is a place beyond the law, it is also the territory of Qitian. The current Xiwang's Mansion army is a veritable rebel for Huang Yuchen. He would never have seen the Western King's Mansion army flatten Shacheng, burn, kill and loot.

He had never seen Lu Zhihui again in the past two days. This woman seemed to be missing. Huang Yuchen had gone to her room to look for it, and there was no one inside. If it weren't for the large number of burly men drinking and eating meat in the entire restaurant, Huang Yuchen would have thought that the woman had given up on Shacheng and ran away.

According to Lu Zhihui's previous statement, today, the defeated army of the Xiwang Mansion will approach Shacheng.

In the early morning, Huang Yuchen appeared at the gate of Shacheng in the cold wind, quietly looking at the direction of Qitian's hinterland, and waiting silently.

Qi Zhengye still complained, saying the damn weather, complaining about Huang Yuchen while following him, trembling by the cold wind, but he didn't see him go back.

Liu Xing'an looked calm. He seemed to have adapted to this cold weather. He had a smile on his face, leaning against the gate of the sand city, waiting quietly together.

"Yuchen, didn't you say that the lord of this sand city is a woman? Why didn't you see anyone in a few days?" Qi Zhengye complained, "If it's true, I think this woman should have escaped. You said that she doesn't stay here, so what are you guarding here? Are you asking for trouble? Isn't this?"

Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, nor did he turn back to explain to Qi Zhengye. He just looked ahead quietly, at the edge of the desert in the wind and snow, and at the shadows of the mountains in the distance, and indifferent.

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xing'an replied again: "This is Qi Tian's territory. Yuchen is the new emperor's younger brother. In other words, this is his own backyard. People come to rob your backyard, don't you care?"

Qi Zhengye frowned when he heard this, scratched his head, looked at Liu Xing'an, and said, "You can explain that, but the backyard is a bit small. Besides, if we want to block the defeated soldiers of the Xiwang Mansion, is it enough for the three of us? Why don't you go to the city to call more people?"

"It is rumored that these Xiwangfu troops burned, killed, looted all the way, and there are no difference between them and robbers. Besides, they are numerous. Even if Shacheng is full of people, they may not be their opponents. Since they are not their opponents, why should they fight head-on?" Liu Xingan gave Qi Zhengye a blank look.

"That's even worse," Qi Zhengye glared and said, "Isn't this what I'm talking about? People don't care about their own city anymore. Why do we have to wade into this muddy water? Don't say that this is our own backyard, this kind of place where birds don't shit, even in normal times, I'm afraid no one will come."

"Who said I don't care about my city?" As soon as Qi Zhengye finished speaking, a crisp female voice came from behind. Qi Zhengye was shocked and immediately turned around and saw that several people appeared in the city at some point. The leader was a woman wearing a fur cloak. Four or five people followed her, each of whom was strong and fierce.

Qi Zhengye was choked by someone, and immediately knew that the master was coming. He curled his lips and stopped talking. Liu Xing'an gave Qi Zhengye a blank look and did not say hello. The two of them were stunned as soon as they entered the city. Even after Huang Yuchen's explanation, they were still angry in their hearts. They had not gone up to the theory with this woman, so they were already considered to be well-educated.

Lu Zhihui led her several people straight towards the city gate. She didn't bother with Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an, but rushed directly to Huang Yuchen. His few people stood at the door and looked at Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an with dissatisfaction. These people only contempt for these two Huang Yuchen's bodyguards, and there was no matter how the bodyguards were saved by the master. No matter from any angle, these two were too dereliction of duty.

Qi Liu and Lu Zhihui's men stood at the gate of the city with big eyes wide open. Lu Zhihui walked straight to Huang Yuchen, looked into the distance according to Huang Yuchen's gaze, and then smiled and said, "Brother, what are you looking at?" As he said that, he was about to come up to hold Huang Yuchen's arm.

Huang Yuchen didn't hide, letting Lu Zhihui hold one of his arms, but his heart was as calm as water. He whispered: "Have you found a reinforcement?"

"How do you know I'm going to find a reinforcement?" Lu Zhihui looked at Huang Yuchen in surprise, and the smile on her face continued, "I haven't found it, I'm unwilling to help."

Huang Yuchen turned around and glanced at Lu Zhihui. He felt that Lu Zhihui's breath was a little disordered, no longer the calmness he had before. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you injured?"

"Do you know you care about your sister?" Lu Zhihui smiled even harder when she heard this, and said, "It's not hindering, it's not hindering. It's your brother, why are you not afraid after you come out by yourself?"

Huang Yuchen's heart moved slightly. He could feel that Lu Zhihui was a little different today. Although she still looked like she was before and was as enthusiastic to herself, from her eyes, Huang Yuchen read a hidden look, and he could not tell what it was immediately.

Lu Zhihui disappeared these days, and even the bearded brothers around him and the men he had seen disappeared. There are only two explanations: either they escaped, but judging from the performance of Shacheng, everything is very normal and does not look like they have already escaped. Another explanation is to ask for help. This explanation was proven after Huang Yuchen saw Lu Zhihui.

Before, during the conversation with Lu Zhihui, she mentioned the danger in the jungle more than once. As a cultivator, if it was just an ordinary beast or a harsh environment, it could not be called a danger. From that time on, Huang Yuchen suspected that there must be certain forces in this wild jungle, and this sand city that appeared on the edge of the desert was just an outpost where this force was placed outside.

In other words, Lu Zhihui is just a guardian for this force, and the sand city is just a bridgehead. This time, Lu Zhihui must have gone to the dense forest to seek help from this force. Now, I think it doesn't have a good result.

"What you promised must be done." Huang Yuchen replied lightly, but he felt a little unreasonable sympathy for Lu Zhihui.

This woman definitely doesn't look like this on the surface. She survives in such a crack. She has to face the threats that these illegal people in the city may bring at any time, and also faces a larger force in the dense forest. At the same time, she has to ensure that the sand city is safe, which is really not easy.

"Sister is not wrong with you." Lu Zhihui smiled even stronger when she heard this. She hugged Huang Yuchen's arm tightly, and she was about to touch her body, and said, "What my sister said to you before is nothing, you can leave now."

After saying that, Lu Zhihui let go of Huang Yuchen's arm and smiled at Huang Yuchen, "But my sister is afraid that she can't accompany you to the forest. If you go by yourself, remember to be careful. No matter what you encounter, don't be impulsive."

Huang Yuchen looked at Lu Zhihui, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't. He whispered: "What, Miss Lu, do you think Shacheng can no longer be defended and plan to die here?"

"What are you saying? I hate it." When Lu Zhihui heard this, she gently slapped Huang Yuchen on the body. A trace of undetectable determination flashed in her eyes, but she smiled on her face: "You think too much, you don't know your abilities? Isn't it just some defeated soldiers that can't kill my sister."

"Miss Lu, go back. Just leave it to me for the defeated army of the Western Prince's Mansion." Huang Yuchen stopped looking at Lu Zhihui. His eyes looked into the distance again, but his heart became more firmer than before.

When I saw Lu Zhihui this time, Huang Yuchen's feeling was very different from before. This difference was mainly because Lu Zhihui's performance. Although it looked similar to before, this subtle change could not escape Huang Yuchen's feeling, because he had never had much contact with women before, especially this close contact. Therefore, Lu Zhihui had a little subtle change, but he could not escape Huang Yuchen's feeling.

"Silly brother." Lu Zhihui put away the signature smile on her face, replaced by a quiet smile. She held Huang Yuchen's arm again and rested her head on Huang Yuchen's shoulders, and her eyes suddenly turned slightly red.

Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, and the wind seemed to be stronger, but his heart was extremely calm.

Not long after, several black shadows appeared in the distance in the wind and snow. These black shadows became more and more. After a while, these black shadows passed through the wind and snow and became closer and closer.

The helmets and armor were broken, and the number of people was increasing, but their speed was very slow.

"Here you." Huang Yuchen obviously felt that Lu Zhihui held his arm and tried harder. He looked at the crowd that appeared in the distance and felt calm.
