Chapter 262 Goodbye and gap
When all the dust settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the soldiers behind Juzi, if Mu Hua and others hadn't appeared in time, they would have been wiped out in this deserted Starlight Canyon.
Although the final process was a bit bizarre, the result was good and made them feel admirable.
As a soldier, you should be ruthless especially when facing the enemy, because if you are not so, the person you may harm in the next second may be you or your companions.
And Mu Hua was able to wipe out almost all the rebel army without any serious injuries, and even the head of the regiment, Hu Yi, died in battle, which is not considered a disgrace to the reputation of a general.
Therefore, they didn't feel much about the results caused by Mu Hua, and even had a clear understanding of "it can still be like this".
As for everyone in Shrek Academy, they praised this a lot, but because of Teacher Fan Yu's order, they dared not say it out loud, but their psychology has gradually changed.
Although they also agreed that this would not save them, this method was still too cruel.
"Then...Senior Orange, things here have come to an end. Do you still want to go back to the Sun and Moon Empire?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Juzi with a trace of hope in his eyes, which made Juzi feel a little heartbroken and reluctant.
"I....."
Juzi glanced at the soldiers behind her from the corner of her eye, and her heart was wavering. To be honest, she really wanted to leave Huo Yuhao. Ever since she had been under Xu Tianran's hand for a while, her desire for revenge had already been calmed down. By my side, why force myself to pursue those illusory things?
But she couldn't leave these soldiers under her command. After spending two years with them, she already regarded them as her own.
Moreover, the dead man did not know if he really existed. If he was not careful, he might kill Keke, or forcibly activate the three clear turbid yellow poisons in his body.
Even if he followed Huo Yuhao and left, it would only leave him sad and regretful.
Fan Yu watched silently, and then went to explore the nearby situation in case the pursuers showed signs of pursuing them again.
But when he came back, it was impossible for Huo Yuhao to still be dawdling like this.
And Mu Hua took advantage of this period of time to put the remains of the soldiers and the tokens into the big pit and bury them, which is considered safe in the ground.
During the period, He Caitou and some other seniors will also come to help, but some people just stand there and watch.
Mu Hua didn't care at all. As far as he was concerned, as long as he didn't mess with him, it didn't matter whether he was a clown or a capable person.
"I....."
While the others were doing their own things, Juzi opened her pink cherry mouth, and was about to express the bitter decision in her heart, when a thick voice came out.
"General, otherwise you should follow this young man and leave."
Hearing this voice, Orange was slightly startled, and then turned his head to look, only to see a middle-aged man wearing armor and holding a spear. There was still a trace of scars on his face, but he was smiling with relief at this moment.
"Lao Kuo?"
Orange naturally knows this soldier, or she has an image of every soldier. It is precisely because she treats her soldiers as if they are her own children that she can gain the support of everyone.
"Yes, General, we have been here for three months and haven't found reinforcements. Maybe the empire has abandoned us. In that case, why not do what we want to do. Anyway, we have completed our mission. "
"We have entered middle age, but you, General, still have a brand new future. There is no need to endure pain on the same road."
"That's right, and if you and this young man can succeed, General, it may become a good story. I have already written it."
Looking at one after another of the soldiers who showed sincere smiles to her and persuaded her, Orange's beautiful eyes gradually became moist, and even tears rolled down her cheeks.
All the soldiers looked at Juzi's tears with a little bit of astonishment, but soon came back to their senses and couldn't help smiling knowingly that they were considered young people and their real generals.
They have already regarded Orange as their daughter, so why can't they care about their daughter's true inner thoughts. They hope that Orange can find true happiness and a life where they can start over.
"me......"
Orange's lips opened and closed, as if she was brewing something, her beady eyes kept streaming down, and all the soldiers looked at Orange like an old father, waiting for her answer with satisfaction.
Keke's eyes were also red, and she stretched out a finger to wipe away the tears around her eyes. The pear blossoms were raining, but more of them were comfort and blessings for the oranges.
And a person who is no different from the surrounding soldiers is gradually approaching Ke Ke, his figure is constantly advancing, while shouting: "Master Orange, take care" while secretly taking out a handle in his arms A dagger with black poison on the blade.
He kept moving towards Keke's position, shouting the loudest and fiercest along the way, with a smile on his face. He was basically no different from the people around him, so he didn't attract the attention of others. .
In this way, 'inadvertently', he slowly approached Ke Ke's breech, who was pear blossom and raining, and slowly raised the poisonous dagger in his right hand, intending to kill him with one blow!
"For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
He shouted in his heart, still maintaining the smile and shouting on his face, but it was a little ferocious and twisted.
And Keke seemed to have noticed something and turned around subconsciously, a dagger was reflected in her pupils, and it gradually enlarged, soon filling her eyeballs.
And Keke stopped moving at this moment, unable to shout, unable to move, and everything was suppressed by the ultimate killing intent.
"Snapped!"
However, just when the dead man was about to stab into Ke Ke's chest, a big hand held him down, preventing him from moving forward.
He stretched forward as hard as he could, but there was no reaction at all. It was as if his hand was suppressed by a mountain and was beyond his control.
The dead man raised his horrified eyes and looked along the arm that was holding him, and saw a young figure, it was Mu Hua!
"what--"
But at this moment, Keke seemed to have just reacted, and shouted loudly, with shock and fear in her voice, and all eyes were gathered here.
"In such an atmosphere, holding a poisoned dagger and approaching the little girl is too boring, isn't it?"
Mu Hua said calmly, with a calm expression on his face, without any ripples, but the dead soldier who was grabbed by the arm could feel the terror of this force, and it was definitely not something he could break free from.
He was extremely shocked for a moment. Is this really an underage young man?
One must know that to be selected as a dead soldier, at least one has the strength of a fifth-level soul engineer or soul king, but this person in front of him seems to be only at the thirtieth level, and he can achieve such a level.
However, as a dead soldier of the royal family, he is not afraid of powerful enemies at all, or in other words, it doesn't matter as long as he is not in the target. Seeing that he can't break free from Mu Hua's shackles, he pinches his fingers and then throws the dagger in his hand like a flying knife. Ke Ke flew away.
The distance between the two was not far away, and they soon flew in front of Keke.
"Coco!"
The orange looked shocked, and wanted to stop it, but it was impossible because it was too violent.
Others saw that they had gotten along with each other in the past, and their comrades who had just become life-and-death friends suddenly betrayed them. They felt in a daze and were unable to recover from this sudden situation.
However, Mu Hua remained unmoved, just held the dead man in front of him, and remained indifferent to the poisonous dagger flying towards Keke behind him.
"Crack clap."
However, just when the poisonous dagger was about to fly over Ke Ke, the poisonous dagger solidified directly in the air, and cold air emerged from it one after another, releasing the ultimate chill, and then fell directly to the ground like an ice sculpture. .
"Sure enough, Mu Hua is right."
Huo Yuhao's body was filled with a layer of cold air, and every step he took would freeze into a piece of ice. As Huo Yuhao restrained himself, the chill on his body also gradually restrained.
Mu Hua had told him before that when he was using his mental perception, he noticed that a soldier's expression and behavior were a little strange, so he asked him to take precautions.
Originally, Huo Yuhao thought that Mu Hua hadn't come out of the previous shadow, but he still chose to believe in Mu Hua.
Judging from the results, this is undoubtedly the most correct.
"Tell me... who sent you here?"
Mu Hua spoke calmly, while the others also stared angrily at the captured soldier.
Especially the few people who had a good relationship with him in the army were in disbelief. They couldn't believe that a few days ago they sued that if they could get out alive, they must go to Goulan to listen to music. They had a great chat.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a traitor.
If Mu Hua hadn't been their savior, someone would have probably ignored military discipline and beaten this bastard until he couldn't take care of himself and let him taste the price of betrayal.
And Juzi went to comfort Keke who had been frightened twice. As soon as she came to her side, Keke threw herself into Juzi's arms and cried loudly as if she had found a support.
She was just one step away from death.
"Ha ha."
Facing Mu Hua's inquiry, the dead soldier didn't say a word. Just when Mu Hua frowned slightly and was about to pry open his mouth, there was a pop and the man spat out a stream of pus and blood.
Mu Hua reacted quickly, and almost subconsciously turned his head to the other side. The pus and blood spilled on the ground, and the ground felt faintly evaporated.
It's heartbreaking to see.
When Mu Hua wanted to continue asking, he found that the soldier in front of him was already as soft as a bone, his eyes rolled white, and the vitality in his body completely dissipated without any fluctuation. However, his hand still maintained the fingerprint before dying.
"A dead man?"
After Mu Hua touched the corpse and found nothing wrong, he directly threw the corpse in front of Garuru Beast. Garuru Beast understood instantly, and immediately spewed out the fox flames to turn the corpse into ashes so as not to be left behind. something unexpected happened.
"what--"
While others were still thinking, a sudden howl sounded. Everyone turned their eyes away in shock and found that the source of the sound was just as they expected.
It's orange!
Orange was originally comforting Keke, but at the moment when the dead soldier was about to die, he actually made a handprint that triggered the three clear, turbid and yellow poisons in Orange's body.
While Orange was comforting Keke, the three clear, turbid and yellow poisons that had been lurking in his body quickly broke out, and frightening black marks appeared one after another on his skin that was so pink that it could squeeze out water.
The rosy white skin is in stark contrast to the dense black lines, especially those black lines that are constantly turning into black particles and bursting into the body of the orange.
But Tangerine didn't get better at all, and even became more painful, and her body was trembling constantly.
"This...is this the three clear, turbid and yellow poisons!?"
A veteran who seemed to be older shouted in surprise.
"Sanqing turbid yellow poison? What is this?"
"This is a deadly poison in the hands of the royal family. It is said that three hours will take your life, and the god of death will not procrastinate. And once the poison is too deep, the body will gradually melt and turn into a turbid yellow. This is vicious!"
"So this is the poison of the royal family? But isn't Lord Juzi a general sent by the royal family? Why do you treat him like this?"
A soldier said in disbelief that although they had been a little disappointed with the empire before, they had been asking for support for three months but failed to arrive.
But it was just dissatisfaction. At this moment, the three clear, turbid and yellow poisons appeared on Orange, which undoubtedly offended their reverse scales.
"Damn it, Master Juzi is fighting to the death with the enemy outside, but the royal family inside treats Master Juzi like this, it is really vicious!"
"This royal family is not a person!"
"It's too despicable, it's too hateful. We are fighting outside, not asking for credit but hard work, but the royal families of the empire don't treat us as human beings at all!"
"Hey, let's see if Master Orange's poison can be cured first. Mr. Huang, do you think it's feasible?"
A middle-aged man said, and the others stopped immediately and looked expectantly at the veteran who had just recognized the three clear, turbid, yellow poisons.
"This....."
Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, the veteran also felt a lot of pressure, especially when he heard Mrs. Orange screaming because of the poison, he racked his brains to think about it with what he had seen, heard and experienced.
However, he really couldn't think of anything, and his forehead was soaked with bean-sized beads of sweat.
"Ahem, Mr. Huang, everyone, stop doing useless work. It seems that the heavens have destined me to have this kind of disaster. I have no regrets in meeting loyal subordinates like you in this life."
Juzi opened her weak eyes and looked at the crowd surrounding her, who looked at her with concern and eagerness and smiled palely.
"Lord Orange!"
Everyone cried out in sorrow, and some even turned their heads away, not daring to look at the cruel scene.
It's not that they don't want to do anything, but that there is nothing they can do. If they are forced to feed the medicine, it may make Orange's condition worse, which is not worth the candle.
At the same time, their corruption and resentment towards the royal family reached its peak. Faced with such a young and outstanding female general, they would poison and control them. How stingy and despicable such a royal family is!
Keke and Huo Yuhao were also standing next to Orange, especially Huo Yuhao's eyes, which showed a hint of disbelief. He never expected that after finally seeing each other again, they would be separated by life and death.
This seemingly dramatic evolution made him unable to accept it for a while and could only stand aside blankly.
And Keke was lying on the side of the orange and crying, and kept saying something vaguely.
And Juzi gently rubbed Keke's head, and at the same time looked at Huo Yuhao who was stunned aside, opened his mouth slightly, wanted to say something but couldn't.
He could only slowly turn his head to the side so that people could not see the tears streaming down the left side of his eye socket.
Although she had guessed that such a day would come, she didn't expect it to happen so soon. However, she was satisfied. At least she had seen everyone she wanted to see, and her desire for revenge had been extinguished.
People should know how to be satisfied while living in this world. If you blindly ask for it, you will lose everything in the end. This is nothing but retribution.
If...if I had chosen Huo Yuhao that day, wouldn't I have had so many worries?
Tangerine smiled wryly, her heart was full of bitterness. Sure enough, just like what her father said, people live in this world for endless regrets.
Regret for not cherishing it properly, regret for not doing what I once wanted to do, regret...
"I thought of it!"
Suddenly, the old general who recognized Sanqing Zhuohuangdu suddenly yelled, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
And the old man said as if he was stunned: "The royal family, they have these three pure, turbid and yellow poisons against the royal family, which means they must also have an antidote. I will go to the Sun and Moon Empire now!"
What the veteran said was immediately echoed by all the soldiers.
"Okay, I'll go too!"
"For Lord Orange, we will go even if the Sun and Moon Empire is turned upside down."
"If the royal family doesn't treat you as a human being, we will use all our resources to save Mr. Orange's life!"
"You... you..."
Tangerine, who has been suffering from the yellow poison of Sanqingzhuo, naturally heard the shouts of the soldiers under her hands, but at this moment her body is exhausted, the toxin is eroding her body, it is difficult to speak out, let alone stand up stop them.
"Don't worry, Mr. Orange, I'll be back as soon as I can, and I will definitely make you recover as before."
After the words fell, the Huang Lao planned to take everyone back to the Sun and Moon Empire to obtain the antidote for the three clear, turbid and yellow poisons.
However, when they cupped their hands and were about to leave, Mu Hua said, "Mr. Huang, do you recognize the antidote?"
The Huang Lao glanced at Mu Hua, and said: "I used to be a royal guard, so I know a little about these three clear and turbid yellow poisons, but because I committed some crimes, I was sent to the army by His Highness the Crown Prince. Fortunately, I got oranges." My lord appreciates all the way through the battle, and now it is to repay the kindness."
Obviously, this old Huang was grateful to see Mu Hua save their lives before, but because of the orange thing, he had diluted it a lot, but there was still some respect that should be had.
Mu Hua nodded, then took out a small jade bottle from the soul guide storage and said, "Please taste the pills in this bottle."
Hearing Mu Hua's words, Huang Lao's heart was shaken, and he took the jade bottle from Mu Hua's hand in disbelief, but at the same time, there was still a glimmer of expectation and hope in his heart.
As soon as I opened the bottle cap and took a closer look, a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly came out. This medicinal fragrance floated between everyone's noses like mist, as if it could wash away the clutter in people's minds and relax their spirits.
Even with the slight smell of the orange, the black lines on the originally white and tender skin gradually dissipated, not turning into black particles, but as if they had been erased.
Although there are only a few, it does have a little effect, at least the body will not be as tired as before.
When he smelled the medicinal fragrance, Mr. Huang's whole body trembled, and even tears of excitement overflowed from his pupils.
He quickly poured out the elixir without saying a word, and saw a green elixir releasing a faint halo, and a strange fragrance emerged, lying in the palm of the yellow old dead tree, this strange fragrance was even worse than before The richness is also more refreshing.
Huang Lao suppressed his excitement and put his trembling hands in front of his eyes to look at it carefully, smelling it from time to time to match what he had seen and heard in the royal family.
But after a while, Mr. Huang suppressed his hoarse voice and said excitedly: "That's it...it's this strange fragrance, this mysterious light, this is the antidote to the three clear, turbid and yellow poisons!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately exclaimed, but at the same time they covered their mouths and looked at the antidote in Huang Lao's hand with excited eyes.
At the same time, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back, in case there were dead men who would destroy the antidote.
Huang Lao quickly put the antidote in Ju Zi's mouth, and when he retracted his trembling hands, Ju Zi swallowed the antidote.
And when she swallowed it, the alternating black lines on her body gradually faded away, and Orange's originally pale and weak complexion gradually became filled with healthy rosiness.
The rosy white skin became smooth and tender again, as if water could be squeezed out, her energy began to continuously increase, and at the same time, an inexplicable force filled her body, constantly lingering and circulating.
When feeling this inexplicable power, Mu Hua's pupils suddenly contracted, and there was an unbelievable feeling in his expression.
Refining the mind?
But why?
However, when Mu Hua sensed it again, he found something different.
Although it is the skill of refining the heart, it does not have a source. The reason why it is repeated is because the orange does not stimulate this power. Simply put, the orange is like a water bottle. When you are thirsty, you will pick it up and drink it. , but when no one is thirsty, her amount is still that amount no matter what.
This is basically the principle, and Mu Hua can roughly deduce where the power from the Heart Lian Jue in Orange comes from.
Mu Hua raised her head and looked at the surrounding Xinghai magma. This magma contained some mind-refining skills, but it had become somewhat scarce now.
And those energies all ran into Ju Zi's body. Although Mu Hua didn't know how it got in, it can be roughly inferred that Ju Zi's body is extremely rich in heart-refining art skills.
But because she doesn't have the skills, it means that she can't use it. Or as mentioned above, when someone is thirsty, she will take it out and drink it.
Of course, these are just Mu Hua's guesses.
"Lord Orange, I'm so glad you're safe!"
Huang Lao knelt down on one knee with tears of excitement, and bowed respectfully.
The other soldiers followed Huang Lao's pace and knelt down one by one, expressing their inner joy and admiration.
"Old Huang, everyone, get up quickly, it's Juzi who should thank you."
Seeing this scene, Ju Zi quickly stepped forward to support Huang Lao, but he couldn't pull it no matter what, Huang Lao's body was as firm as a rock.
"No, it's all my fault for my incompetence, which caused Lord Orange to suffer so much. Fortunately, Lord Muhua came to help, otherwise I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life."
"Thank you, Lord Mu Hua."
Following Huang Lao respectfully bowed to Mu Hua, the other soldiers behind him also respectfully shouted to Mu Hua: "Thank you, Lord Mu Hua."
Mu Hua looked at this scene and shook his head, "No, I'm just trying it out, and I have to thank Mr. Huang for his knowledge, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it."
As soon as this remark came out, before Huang Lao could say anything, Ju Zi bowed to Mu Hua and said: "No matter what, you saved my life, if you come to my place later, please feel free to speak up. "
Mu Hua lingered beside Huo Yuhao and Juzi with a hint of a smile, "Actually, I'm also doing it for my brother, so you don't have to be so polite."
As if aware of Mu Hua's teasing gaze, Orange lowered his head as if his cheeks were flushed, while Huo Yuhao coughed dryly and looked away.
In fact, Mu Hua didn't lie. He also wanted to give it a try, but he really succeeded.
At the same time, it also made him more and more unable to understand senior sister Chu Mengyun.
He didn't know whether this was Chu Mengyun's calculation or the other party's arrangement. If it was the latter...
Mu Hua shook his head, then looked at Juzi and said, "What are you going to do next?"
"How to do?"
Orange murmured in a low voice. Now that she had just come back from the desperate situation of separation, she had already looked past many things.
And the dead man just now knows that Xu Tianran sent her here without guessing, and the purpose is to let her die.
In this way, even if she returns to Sun Moon City, she will still be dead, but the soldiers under her...
"Sir, just leave with them. Leave the Sun and Moon Empire and never come back."
At this moment, Huang Lao stood up and said respectfully to Juzi: "This Sun Moon Empire is no longer worth your efforts, you have done enough."
After Huang Lao finished speaking, several voices immediately followed him.
"That's right. The empire has probably forgotten about us anyway. Since you're fine, we can safely remove our armor and return home."
"Haha, I've waited long enough for this day, and I've done my duty faithfully, and it's time to let it go for a while."
"My lord, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time to enjoy, but it doesn't mean you can squander it at will, so please follow your inner choice and don't worry about us."
Several voices came out again, all saying that they should let Juzi not care about them and live on their own, and they were also very relieved to hand Juzi to Huo Yuhao.
"Everyone..."
Juzi looked at the familiar faces with tears in their eyes. They were also a little bit reluctant, but more of them were blessings for Juzi and hope for a better future.
Huang Lao took a deep breath and shouted: "Salute!"
After the words fell, everyone put on a military posture, extremely tall and straight, like sharp swords standing on the ground, and then accompanied by Huang Lao's salute, the rest of the people saluted Juzi as a sign of respect.
Ju Zi looked at the scene in front of her, tears flowed down like a fountain, she wanted to press it back, but it rebounded even harder.
"In the past two years, thank you for your care, Master Juzi, please be as strong as ever in the days to come!"
Several more blessings resounded, and finally, under the attention of everyone, Shrek and his party took Juzi and Keke and left together.
"Woo hoo...Grandpa Niu, Uncle Huang, goodbye, goodbye."
Keke waved vigorously towards the rear that was getting further and further away and was almost out of sight. There were tears on her petite and cute cheeks. She looked pitiful and pitiful, completely different from the bad temper she had when they first met.
"Okay, if you really can't bear it, you can go back."
Juzi comforted with a smile, after agreeing to Huo Yuhao's request to leave the Sun Moon Empire together, Juzi seemed to have loosened some shackles and became as gentle and smiling as Huo Yuhao again.
"How about that?"
Keke quit after hearing this, and gave Huo Yuhao a hard look: "What if you are bullied without me, if this guy treats you badly, we can elope and let him cry alone."
Huo Yuhao could only keep smiling bitterly at this. What else could he say? He could only use his love to be kind to others.
But Mu Hua was a little choked, for some reason, she always felt that Ke Ke's orientation was a bit abnormal.
Along the way, Mu Hua and the others advanced as usual, without any accidents or enemy pursuit.
But Mu Hua could feel that he was squeezed out, or squeezed out by people other than Huo Yuhao and others, or feared.
It should be the consequence of the previous impact that wiped out the entire army, but Mu Hua didn't care. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he would stay on his own.
And the weird atmosphere continued until the next day.
"Here, we can go to the border of the Sun Moon Empire as long as we pass through a wasteland in front of us. Moreover, due to the complex mountains and uninhabited areas, most people would never think of this place."
"And this is the area where I am responsible for suppressing the rebellion, so here... I am the only one responsible for the regiment. The Liger regiment we defeated before was the last group of rebels I knew about."
As a local, Juzi took on the qualifications of being a guide on his own, and after Huo Yuhao and Mu Hua's repeated assurances, and his care, Fan Yu agreed to this condition.
And it turns out that it is indeed thanks to Orange that they have not encountered any danger until now.
"Let me just say that oranges are awesome."
Keke raised her head, put her hands on her hips, and looked very proud as if she had done it herself.
"Heh, this is your country and you all know it very well. Could it be that you have planned it for a long time?"
After hearing this, Ke Ke felt something was wrong. Didn't this mean that they had had second thoughts? She immediately scolded them: "What are you talking about? You still relied on Orange's guidance to avoid other dangers. If you had died, you would have died a long time ago." A hundred times!"
"Perhaps this was specially arranged by you, in order to break into my Shrek Academy..."
That student was about to continue talking, but Mu Hua directly interrupted: "Stop talking!"
"Oh, is this the attitude of juniors towards seniors? That's really..."
Boom!
Mu Hua stomped on the ground hard, and the whole earth trembled. The student was frightened, and then he saw Mu Hua looking at him without any feeling in his eyes.
"I advise you to pay attention to the surrounding situation when you speak."
This sentence made the student stunned for a moment, and then he subconsciously looked around, completely stunned on the spot.
But they saw that they were surrounded by enemies a hundred meters away, and two figures in black robes came from the front. One of them clapped his hands and said: "It's really a reunion after two and a half years, even though it's on such an occasion." , but I guess it’s an impressive goodbye.”
After finishing speaking, one of the figures in black robe lowered his hood again, revealing a familiar face, and said with a smile:
"Right, Mu Hua?"
