CHAPTER XXIV

The night is coming as scheduled, the day of mountaineering is approaching, but two days, there is no moon in this night, in the evening, the sky has been gloomy, I don't know when, the wind gradually rises, the rain also comes, the rain in the dark night does not fall much, thin like a needle and thread, so that the already somewhat cool day is even colder, in the early spring, the days on the edge of Qingming are as in previous years.

In the hazy night, people can't see it really, and the figures in the palace of the state are shaking, a little busy, today Chen Jingcang is not leisurely drinking tea in the yard, Xiao Qi is not in the yard, the whole yard is empty, Chen Feizhu's yard is still lit with a lamp, from the thin curtain in the rain, a figure is moving, it seems that it is Chen Feizhu.

Chen Jingcang was followed by Xiao Qi, outside the city gate of Bingzhou, there were a lot of people accompanying him, He Lixing's father and son, and the "Iron Hammer General" Lu Deliang, as well as about ten guards.

Xiao Qizi was not tall enough, so Chen Jingcang took the umbrella and held it by himself, during which he pulled Xiao Qi close to him for a few minutes to prevent her from getting wet, and these guards were not surprised.

The little prince has always been like this, he has always scoffed at those cumbersome etiquette, and he does not put on some majestic posture too much, always greets these guards casually, and sometimes gambles with them to have fun, but the little prince is not good at this way, and naturally he loses more and wins less, the first time he gambled with the little prince, there are two brothers he brought, I don't know where to get the silver, those days were enough to lose to them more than a thousand taels of silver, but in the next few days, every time I saw the little prince flee back to the palace in embarrassment, his body was full of vegetable leaves and eggs, and then later, I heard that the little prince went to Tai'an。 That's it, since then, I have only come back two or three times, and I have never seen the little prince with a vicious dog and a servant to find trouble with anyone.

The accompanying guard Xie Lan is also one of the elite guards who have been in the palace of Bingzhou for several years, and is currently the commander of the guards on the palace of the king of Chu, at this time most of the people have been sent to the nameless mountain to set up defenses, so this time the others only brought about a dozen guards, Xie Lan and the old steward Xie Ningyuan are some relatives, is the son of a cousin in the clan, Xie Ningyuan also has a personal relationship, but it is also after many assessments and temptations to receive such an important position, Xie Lan is also a capable person, these years of guard career is not much brilliant, but it can be regarded as conscientious, there has never been a mistake。

Xie Lan has a very good impression of this little prince, he can let go, and he can afford to joke, he has loved to mess with them since he was a child, and he has never treated them as slaves and servants, and he has never taken anyone to fight with Liu Mang and Han Chu, and he has never taken anyone to fight against others, and he has been taught a miserable lesson since he was a child, in addition to being beaten so that he can't move, there is another reason that he is waiting for today, an old man, and a person who teaches Chen Jingcang a sword.

The night was deep, mixed with cold wind and drizzle, Xiao Qi was a little cool and leaned closer to Chen Jingcang's side, Chen Jingcang looked down at Xiao Qi, he was afraid that half of his body was drenched in the rain when he held an umbrella for himself, so he couldn't help but reach out and hold Xiao Qi's shoulder, let her lean against his chest, Xiao Qi glanced at Chen Jingcang gratefully, and asked with a smile: "Young Master, when will Grandpa Qin arrive?"

Chen Jingcang stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Qi's head again, looked down at Xiao Qi snuggled in his arms, and said slowly: "At most, half an hour should arrive." Then Chen Jingcang looked at Xiao Qi's somewhat pale face, put the big coat wrapped around his body on Xiao Qi, and said with a slow smile: "I told you not to come out with me, you don't believe it, it's okay now, I'm afraid I'll catch the wind and cold when I go back." ”

Xiao Qi was a little aggrieved, and then raised his head stubbornly and said, "I won't be infected with the wind cold, I'm in good health!"

"Okay, good, our Xiao Qi is the most powerful, and she will definitely be a famous woman in the world in the future!" Chen Jingcang smiled narrowly, then turned around and said: "Uncle Xie, send someone to prepare a few pots of hot tea, Grandpa Qin is afraid that it will be there in a while." ”

Xie Lan bowed his head and promised, and took two people to the city, which is now strictly forbidden. The city gate was also closed, and Xie Lan took out the token of the Chu Palace, and then went to the city.

After a while, Xie Lan took the two of them back, and the tea, table and a huge canopy were also sent over, Chen Jingcang smiled and said, "Come over and have a cup of hot tea and rest." ”

Only twenty miles outside the city, in a hidden house, an old man with a spear in his hand was fighting against five people.

The gun is like a swimming dragon, sharp and sharp, in which there are several people who have fallen to the ground, more than a dozen people in this house in addition to falling to the ground, there are only five people left in front of the following, although the five people are said to be strong, but they are far from the opponent of the old man in front of them, now it seems that the five people have been difficult to escape, so the old man's marksmanship has become sharper, a shot out, such as a dragon pounced, the five people are very uncomfortable, the old man in front of him broke in like this in such a rainy night, did not say a word, the shot was very spicy, although it was a little far-fetched under the siege at the beginning, but they only found out at this time that this person's marksmanship was not at the same level as them, and the enemy was weak before, I'm afraid I don't want the whole house to go out, leaking the news, but at this time I know that it's too late, and now I'm only five people, and it's not impossible to escape desperately, five people, five directions, five people made eye contact and finally made up their minds, and one of the men suddenly drank: "Old thing, today the five of us will definitely pull you to the funeral." ”

After speaking, the qi on this person's body skyrocketed, and he looked like he was going to fight hard, and the other four people followed suit, and the old man also grinned, and the gun sparked like electricity, and suddenly stabbed out.

The people of the rivers and lakes have some ability to save their lives, unless it is such an invincible sword immortal in the world, who can kill dozens of people, hundreds or even thousands of people in an instant, but it is just an ordinary martial artist, if it is all three grades, two grades, or even a grade martial arts, the sword immortal can not be slashed with a sword, they are not targets, they will not let you cut a sword and a sword, and there is no power to fight back, if there is only one enemy of a product or even the King Kong realm, the old man can take his life with only a few moves.

The martial arts in the world are so prosperous naturally has his reason, everyone is not a fool, and the old man has no way to prevent people from escaping under the siege of dozens of masters of the rivers and lakes, so his initial calculation has been very successful, and now there are five people left, I am afraid that it will take some effort, but no one will be able to escape, the desperate counterattack of the five people in front of him, if it is really desperate to kill four people to cover one person to escape, I am afraid that it is not impossible, but after all, it is impossible to do so, these rivers and lakes are reckless and naturally regard their lives as more important than anything, and the desperate words of the five people are just to divert their attention, they are going to escape。

How could the old man be as they wished, his qi swelled to the extreme in an instant, ignoring the shocked look of the five people, his methods were ruthless, and when he made a move, a master was assassinated on the spot.

The remaining four people no longer had the urge to desperately, they glanced at each other, and in four directions, the four of them retreated violently.

A chase begins.

In such a dark and cold night, it always feels like a good weather for a murderer, or a good weather for a dead person.

Chen Jingcang and dozens of people saw an old man soaked after more than an hour, the old man carried a spear and slowly greeted Chen Jingcang step by step, Chen Jingcang also hurriedly walked out of the canopy, and waited for the old man to step forward, bowed his head and saluted: "I've seen Master!"

The old man helped Chen Jingcang up, raised his eyes and smiled: "In the past few years, the hard work has not fallen, not bad." ”

The old man didn't like to praise people as before, I was afraid that these words were already a great affirmation of Chen Jingcang, and Chen Jingcang entered the canopy together, Xiao Qi brought a cup of hot tea with interest, and the old man smiled at Xiao Qi: "There are seven assassins outside the city who are secretly ambushed, and three have been wiped out here, and the other four are afraid that they have received the news and fled far away." The old man shook his head a little helplessly, after all, it was not as good as back then, and under the defeat of his blood over the years, he was afraid that he would not be able to shoot a few shots.

That's why they are so cautious and secretly ambush, if it was at the peak of that year, not to mention that all the seven people and horses could be strangled in two or three hours, but they would also be killed in scattered and collapsed armies.

Chen Jingcang stood aside just quietly and black tea, and he suddenly said, "Master, you shouldn't have come to this trip." ”

The old man just shook his head, and did not answer Chen Jingcang's words, and only after a while did he say: "I, Qin Huai, have not believed in fate since I was sensible, no matter what they say about you, I always believe that the apprentice I taught, and the apprentice taught by the old guy who left a few years earlier than me, will not become a faint monarch in the world, I believe in my eyes, I believe in my heart, I believe in the vision of that old guy even more, you will be a good emperor, although it cannot be compared to your father, but I am willing to believe that you deserve to sit in that position." Even if everyone in the world says you can't do it, I, Qin Huai and Su Min, two old guys, believe you!"

These words are a bit heavy, so that Chen Jingcang can only be silent, not as good as his father, I'm afraid he won't be like his father, the world is really too big. Chen Zidong is really a great emperor who will be famous through the ages, like the Qin Emperor who ruled Kyushu, shining in the annals of history, and Chen Jingcang is afraid that he is a character who has been brushed aside.

Chen Zidong created the foundation of the country, these glories always have too many admiring eyes and remarks, no matter how Chen Zidong is deviant, unwilling to accept another concubine, unwilling to have another prince in addition to Chen Jingcang, the world's remarks are always more praise than depreciation, a series of decrees and a series of reforms, for the benefit of hundreds of people in the seventy-two counties and counties of Kyushu, this achievement, no matter how history changes, no matter which family in the world is the emperor, he Chen Zidong must be a mountain that cannot be bypassed, a monument.
