Xuanxia

Chapter 919 Old Friend
"Damn it, I've been waiting for so long, and now it finally comes out."

Fu Qingzhou was obviously startled when he heard the voice. His first reaction was to judge from the other party's mask that this person was Ling Jiao from Mingjian Pavilion.

Secondly, he couldn't recognize the other person's voice because it was obvious that the person's voice had been processed in some way and sounded the same regardless of gender or age.

But soon, a look of joy appeared on Fu Qingzhou's face!

"you……"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the spirit dragon interrupt him: "Wait!"

Ling Jiao turned to Aiguli: "She."

Fu Qingzhou understood.

He looked at Ayiguli and said, "Don't come here without my order."

"Yes, Master Zuling."

Aiguli was very tactful. She responded and immediately turned around and left with Huoyar on her back. Soon she reached the top of a sand dune in the distance and sat down there - it was far enough for Fu Qingzhou to see her.

"Wait, was that what she just carried..."

Ling Jiao's tone changed slightly: "Huo Yaer?"

"Yes." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Her soul has been destroyed, only her body remains."

“Ha, no wonder!”

Ling Jiao slapped his forehead and said, "No wonder you asked Marshal Hong to do that!"

"Oh?" Fu Qingzhou blinked: "He sent you?"

"That's it."

Ling Jiao spread his hands and said, "It's just that I'm not suitable. Someone else went."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I think so... Okay, take off the mask. Also, don't speak in that voice. It makes me uncomfortable."

"have to."

Ling Jiao didn't waste any words and just reached out to take off the mask. While taking off the mask, he murmured, "I have no choice, after all, my identity is a bit special now..."

The mask was taken off, revealing a face that Fu Qingzhou was very familiar with.

Zhao Hao.

However, compared with three years ago, Zhao Hao is now much thinner, and the dandy look on his face has faded a lot, while the look of vicissitudes and maturity has become much stronger. Not only that, he also has several shallow scars on his face.

"Ah, I thought our meeting would be a grand occasion, but I didn't expect..."

Zhao Hao opened his mouth, but halfway through his words, Fu Qingzhou suddenly strode forward and hugged him in a bear hug!
"Ouch, ouch, be gentle, it hurts!" Zhao Hao shouted.

"Prince Zhao." Fu Qingzhou let him go and patted his shoulder with a big laugh: "Why did you think of joining my Mingjian Pavilion?"

This was the first old friend he met after returning to the secular world!
Lurking in Beiyi and under tremendous pressure at all times, and having just experienced the incident in the Styx Valley, Fu Qingzhou felt like a stone was weighing on his heart. He always wanted to know the situation of his old friends. He had heard in Qiluo Palace that many old friends were missing, and he was always worried.

Unexpectedly, I met Zhao Hao here!
"Oh, intelligence work."

Zhao Hao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "I can't stay in Qianfang Baixiao Tower anymore, so I have to go to Mingjian Pavilion."

"I have a lot of things to ask you." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile.

Zhao Hao's eyes also softened and he sighed, "We also have a lot to ask you."

After that, he put the mask back on, and his voice returned to what it was before: "The wind and sand here are ridiculously strong. It's very uncomfortable to get in through the mask. Let's talk somewhere else... What's the situation with that woman?"

"You are already a big shot in Mingjian Pavilion, don't you know?" Fu Qingzhou teased.

Zhao Hao sighed, "How could anyone know more than you? You are such a playboy, lurking in Beiyi and finding a woman?"

Fu Qingzhou waved his fist at him, shocking Zhao Hao so much that he quickly jumped back.

Then, they both burst into laughter at the same time.

Not only Fu Qingzhou, but Zhao Hao also obviously had a hard time in the past three years.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have put on a mask and disguised even his voice.

As he said before, he...has a special identity.

The son of King Xishuo, the son of a rebel!

But when the old friends met at this time, they finally put aside everything else, as if they had turned back into the young people who used to argue with each other.

"We came in such a hurry that we didn't take a carriage or a camel. Can your little maid keep up?"

After laughing, Zhao Hao asked.

Fu Qingzhou blinked and said, "Walk back slowly. If you have anything to say, let's talk on the way. Huo Yaer won't die so soon. As for our business, we just need to avoid Ayiguli."

"Row."

Zhao Hao didn't say much: "Let's go to Qiluo Palace first. When the people who work for you have finished their work, they will be waiting for us there." Fu Qingzhou responded and waved to Aiguli from a distance. She immediately carried Huoyar and trotted over.

Once on the road, she tactfully followed the two men about ten steps away, not getting close to them, and certainly not daring to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"We all knew that you would come back, but we didn't expect you to appear in Beimo."

As they walked, Zhao Hao said, "Tang Jiao's calculations aren't that accurate."

Fu Qingzhou was slightly surprised: "Jiaojiao can also tell fortunes?"

"Well, she spent three years in Langhuan Mountain and learned a lot."

Zhao Hao said: "Three years ago, she escaped from the capital and met Master Baihe and his men. Master Baihe led the Xuanmeng to escort her all the way and always sent Tang Jiao back to the sect without any danger."

"Since then, she has been practicing in seclusion in the mountains and has learned a lot."

"In the past three years, she would write a letter every once in a while and send it down the mountain to Master Baihe. The news would then come out from the Xuan League and be sent to the Righteous Army and Mingjian Pavilion."

At this point, he turned his head and looked at Fu Qingzhou through the mask: "Two years ago, she made a prediction, saying that you would come back this year...but she said that you might appear in the south."

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head.

South?

I landed in the Northern Desert...

This is totally wrong.

"By the way, you said Jiaojiao escaped from the capital, and Qiuchan was there at the time, right?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and asked, "How is she?"

Zhao Hao was startled, his eyes were evasive under the mask, and he quickly turned away.

Fu Qingzhou's pupils narrowed.

He was so smart that he guessed that something was wrong immediately: "Is there something wrong with Qiu Chan?!"

"Alas, you have to know." Zhao Hao sighed: "When Qiu Chan and Tang Jiao fled to the city wall of Beijing, they were besieged by... Lan Xiyu and Qian Fang Bai Xiao Lou and others. In a hurry, Qiu Chan used the sword of justice."

"No one can tell exactly what happened at that time, but Tang Jiao recalled afterwards that she only saw a ball of light."

"After that, we also looked for Qiu Chan, but couldn't find her."

He sighed again: "Unless she escapes successfully, then..."

No bones remain.

Zhao Hao didn't dare to say this word, and Fu Qingzhou didn't dare to say it either, but they both saw this word from each other's eyes.

Fu Qingzhou's relaxed mood suddenly sank when he saw his old friend.

He shed no tears, nor did he attempt to grieve.

Since no one saw Qiu Chan, she is not dead.

How could she die without even waiting for me to come back?

Even if I have to travel through the nine heavens and dive into the underworld, I will definitely bring her back.

There is no need to worry about this matter at all, she will definitely come back.

It's just that the person who hurt her in the first place...

"Hey, Lao Fu."

Zhao Hao called out softly: "Are you okay?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his head: "I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Zhao Hao subconsciously took a step back.

He was so frightened by the strong murderous intent emanating from Fu Qingzhou that he broke out in a cold sweat and his breathing almost stopped.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, just smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find Qiuchan back."

"Ah."

Fu Qingzhou also smiled, but Zhao Hao could not see any smile on his face.

He just kept walking forward, not even noticing that Zhao Hao had stopped.

"..."

Zhao Hao looked at Fu Qingzhou's back, turned his head and looked at Aiguli who had come to his side.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Aiguli asked softly.

Zhao Hao was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Nothing, just take good care of him."
