The Eternals Who Travel the Worlds

Chapter 1069 Daughter of Gold

"Don't you suspect that we are spies sent by the devil? Why did you follow us here?"

Zhou Ping was sitting on the edge of the camp holding a long knife. When he saw the girl and her two guards coming over, he started mocking her unceremoniously on the spot.

He has a scar on his face, and coupled with Zhou Ping's straightforward temperament, it is indeed easy to arouse the disgust of strangers.

At least that girl was made anonymously angry by Zhou Ping's attitude.

He secretly patted the guard on the back and signaled the guard to suppress the other party's arrogance.

The guard knew the girl's noble status very well, and naturally also knew the girl's temperament.

Although it felt inappropriate, I still walked to Zhou Ping.

He said stiffly: "I don't know what your name is?"

Zhou Ping taunted him with words, and then saw the other party coming over to him, and he didn't want to offend the girl who was of high status.

After hesitating for a moment, he still replied: "Zhou Ping, the commander of the Xishan Camp of the Forward Army."

"Brother Zhou, let me tell you honestly, this young lady has a very distinguished status. If you can safely escort her to Kyoto, it will be a great achievement. Even being promoted to the third level is not impossible."

Zhou Ping waved his hand.

Now that the other party's attitude has softened, he no longer deliberately stirs up trouble.

She said with a hint of ridicule: "This lady thinks that we are all spies of the devil."

Hearing this, the girl curled her lips.

If she hadn't planned to save her image, she would have started fighting with Zhou Ping on the spot.

In front of the fire, Erbao opened the lid of the pot, and a lot of steam came out. The pot was already filled with white porridge.

After all, he was still a young man with a simple temperament and did not take the girl's slanderous words to heart.

He turned to look in the direction of the girl and others, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's eat first."

It is worth mentioning that the broken bowl that Lu Yan blessed with the Oracle of Delphi actually only poured out porridge continuously and contained no other food.

However, being able to drink a sip of steaming white porridge on the way to escape was considered to be of high quality for these soldiers.

The soldiers sat in confusion on the ground, holding a bowl filled with white porridge, and drank it happily.

The two treasures were not treated differently, and the girl and the two guards were also given three bowls of white porridge.

One of the guards first confirmed the safety of the food before passing the bowl to the girl.

It's a pity that this girl, probably because she has been pampered since she was a child, has no appetite at all for such food.

Instead, he looked secretly at Lu Yan beside the fire.

Everyone was eating porridge, but Lu Yan was sitting alone by the fire, looking particularly out of place.

He's a strange guy...

The girl commented silently.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

Erbao asked in surprise when he saw that the girl didn't drink porridge.

The girl did not talk about the porridge, but lowered her voice and asked Erbao: "What's going on with that man? He doesn't look like he's in the military."

Erbao swallowed the porridge in his mouth and then followed the girl's gaze.

"Ah, are you talking about Mr. Lu?"

"Master Lu? He is an official in our Xishan camp?"

Erbao hesitated for a moment, seeming to be thinking about how to explain.

"No, Mr. Lu is a god. It was because of Mr. Lu's protection along the way that we were able to come back safely."

There was silence for a moment.

"Pfft~"

The girl stretched out her hand to cover her small lips, calmed down, and then said: "Are you kidding? How can God have time to travel with guys like you?"

It is actually very easy for girls of this age to believe in the claims of gods and ghosts.

However, if there is really a god who will accompany a group of defeated soldiers, the girl will not believe it so easily.

Erbao suddenly felt anxious when he heard the girl's suspicious tone.

"It's true. Mr. Lu has supernatural powers."

"Okay, okay, you can say yes."

The girl hesitated for a moment.

Then he held his chin with his hand and stared at Lu Yan's side face unconsciously, as if muttering to himself: "If there really is a god, it should be like this, right?"

Lu Yan's indifferent temperament was too stark compared to a group of rough guys.

Wang Ji had already finished the porridge in his bowl and came over with a smile.

"I wonder what I should call this lady?"

The girl hesitated slightly, but still replied: "My name is Du Sixuan."

"This name is really nice." Erbao said like a compliment.

Wang Ji frowned.

"Du... I remember that the prime minister's surname was Du, right?"

Although Wang Ji had spent more than ten years in the military camp, he must have heard of such important figures.

Du Sixuan nodded: "Du Yanhong is my father."

really!

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers changed a little, and some even took a breath of cold air.

A figure like the prime minister of the current dynasty was simply not accessible to low-level soldiers like them.

Wang Ji calmed down and quickly raised his hands towards Du Sixuan and said: "Wang Ji has seen the prime minister's daughter, and he has offended a lot just now."

"It's just... why did you appear in an area occupied by evil spirits?"

With such a noble status, no matter how hard you think about it, you will not venture into dangerous situations. Is it possible that the situation has become so bad?

When he thought of this speculation, Wang Ji's face became even more gloomy.

Du Sixuan looked a little embarrassed: "No..."

She began to explain, and although she evaded some important points, she could still barely restore the truth of the matter.

It turned out that when she and her guards left Kyoto, the vanguard army had not even been defeated.

At that time, the imperial court did not pay much attention to it, thinking that this so-called evil spirit was probably just a moss disease and could be wiped out soon.

Du Sixuan also has a restless temper and plans to go to a place like Licheng close to the front line to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield.

Even though I saw some evacuating teams on the way, I didn't take it seriously. Instead, I found the atmosphere very exciting.

By the time something unexpected happened, it was already too late.

The speed of human defeat and the speed of evil advancement are too fast.

Before their group arrived at Licheng, they saw a large number of deserters running out of Licheng.

Following closely behind were all kinds of evil spirits.

In order to protect her, they fought and retreated along the way, and in the end only two guards were left alive.

But the situation is not optimistic either.

If she hadn't met Lu Yan and the others, her body would probably be cold by now.

"So you don't know what's happening in the imperial court."

Wang Ji was a little disappointed.

Du Sixuan clenched her fist: "No, my father will definitely mobilize heavy troops to wipe out all these evil spirits."
