Wind and rain gusted, an ox cart struggling to move forward in the twilight rain, withstanding the strong wind, struggling.

A young man in the car was half-lying, and the old man driving the car was dressed in a plain linen shirt, but at this time he was already soaked, and the elegance on his face was replaced by a sad face, this place was still about thirty miles away from the nearest brocade city, but this damn weather was really worrying.

The old man sighed and said, "Young man, it seems that we won't be able to make it to the town, so your injuries won't get in the way." ”

The young man opened his eyes, his face was a little pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he said, "Sir, I can still hold on, you can hurry, but it is really not possible, let's find a place to rest for the night, and then go to the town early tomorrow morning." ”

The old man looked at the young man's pale face and said a little unbearable: "I'm afraid that your body can't hold it, this damn rain." The old man scolded a little. I thought: If it weren't for the fact that I met a group of scoundrels on the road and molested women, I wouldn't have spoken out, and then this brave young man was beaten for himself, and the old man sighed: "Scholars are the most useless people." ”

The young man smiled: "Sir, I am a tough body, this little injury is nothing. The young man continued: "It's just that sir's body is not in the way, you have also received a lot of punches and kicks, you are not like me, I have rough skin and thick flesh to punch and kick a few times and hurt at most for a while." ”

The old man also smiled when he heard it: "You young descendant, although my generation of scholars does not have the physical strength of the soldiers who fight in the field, and the reckless masters of the rivers and lakes are not tough, but they are not as weak and incompetent as you think. The old man looked back at the young man: "Besides, you have taken most of the punches and kicks for me." ”

"When I get back to town, I'll find you a medicine hall to take a look at your body, don't fall into any disease to save me, a rotten scholar. The old man was also a little relieved, and the man in the car was also kind-hearted, but he saw that this coarse cloth dress was not the son of a rich family like himself.

The young man's face twitched a little, but it was well hidden, the punch and kick just now was afraid that the wounds on his body were torn, but fortunately, it rained, and the smell of blood oozing from his body was diluted a lot, or he was discovered by the old gentleman, the old man just thought that the young man had been beaten and kicked lightly, and it was normal for his face to be pale.

The ox cart was moving forward slowly, and there were two boxes on the cart, both covered with cowhides, these were all precious books that the old man had saved up his belongings and went to Ningyuan City to buy.

The old man was a teacher in the town of Brocade, and when he failed in the imperial examination, he returned to his homeland and opened a lecture hall for more than 30 years.

The old man's name is Helian Prefecture, and he is also a very famous figure in this brocade town, and more than 30 years of lecturing and teaching have also made him have several competitive students under his name, and the most prominent student has become the prefect, and there are also two prefects, but they are all in other places, and occasionally have some correspondence with Mr. Helian and some precious books will be sent to the old man.

The young man moved slightly, and the old man thought that the young man's body was a little uncomfortable, so he turned his head and said, "There is a village about five miles ahead, and there is a doctor in the village, who will treat your injuries first, rest for the night, and then go to the town to see the medical hall tomorrow." ”

The young man nodded and said, "Sir, just make arrangements, I came to Brocade Town to visit relatives and friends, and it is not a big problem to delay for a few days." ”

In the distance, a small village is a little smoky, and in the rain curtain, it is a little more fairy and a little less dusty. At this time, it was dinner time, and when the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, a few farmers in robes happened to pass by. They had just come back from the field, and the sudden thunderstorm almost broke the seedlings that had just been planted, and several farmers also had a little resentment on their faces, and one of the seriously damaged farmers scolded and cursed secretly: "This damn weather, it was very sunny a few days ago, and it rained heavily today." ”

The old man walked forward quickly and talked with the farmers in this village, saying that he was the teacher of Brocade Town, several farmers suddenly had a little more respect on their faces, and heard Mr. say that they wanted to spend the night, they all volunteered to get up, and finally the old man chose a relatively large family in the village, because there is no doctor in the village, and he has to hurry tomorrow, and the young man still returned to the town early for his injury, and asked a doctor to treat it.

The young man and the old man stayed in a peasant house, and the village woman boiled some hot water for them to wash, and after a simple dinner, the old man and the young man went back to their rooms to rest.

As soon as the young man returned to the room, he took out a small bottle of pills from his package and hurriedly swallowed a few pills.

"Little Jin Dan" is a hot healing medicine on the rivers and lakes, and most of the reckless people who walk the rivers and lakes will bring some "Xiao Jin Dan" in case of emergency.

The price is not too expensive, and it can be bought in pharmacies everywhere.

The young man slowly took off the robe on his body, his body was wrapped with gauze, and there were traces of red blood oozing, the young man took out a few more grains of "Little Jin Dan" and crushed them, slowly removed the gauze and sprinkled the medicine powder, and a burst of pain made the young man's face a little hideous and distorted. After enduring the pain, he wrapped the gauze again, took out a clean garment from the package, put it on, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep slowly. The night rain was pouring and there was no word all night.

In the early morning, the weather was slightly bright, and the young man got up, went out and played a set of boxing in the yard, the boxing method was like a simple way to boil the body, it didn't seem to have much power, but it was also subtle.

Helian Zhou also got up early, and when he saw the young man practicing boxing, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and said with a smile: "This boxing method is a boxing method in the army, and the young man is a person in the army." ”

The young man put away his fist and said to Helian Zhou with a smile: "Sir, it's just an ordinary military formation, and it can't compare to those high-rollers in the rivers and lakes who fly away from the sky, killing people with swords." ”

The old man's smile was a little stronger, this young man spoke with a Liangzhou accent, he knew that Liangzhou was thousands of miles away from the state where they were.

Liangzhou is desolate and borders with the Xiongnu, and there are frequent wars all year round, unlike the gentle scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

The old man said, "I don't know your name when I have traveled with you all this way. ”

The young man arched his hand and said, "My surname is Chen, my name is Jingcang, and I am from Liangzhou." My father was originally a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, traveled to Liangzhou, and fell in love with the high and unique scenery there, so he settled down there, and married my mother there, so I had me, and I was given this name by sighing at the good scenery of Liangzhou. ”

The old man asked, "Then who is your father's name, let me hear if I have heard of it." ”

Chen Jingcang said: "My father was only born in a famous show, but his temperament was not as elegant as Mr. Chen Jingcang's face changed after speaking, and he said a few words in his heart, whether it should be true or not.

Helian Prefecture did the same, let out a long sigh, and then said: "Don't blame me for being open-mouthed, it's just that when I'm older, I have more words to get to the bottom of it." Ling Zun is a hero, and he should be a big white. ”

"Mr. False praise!" Chen Jingcang said: "This trip to Jiangnan is to worship the ancestors before returning to Jiangnan, and after worshipping the ancestors, I will rush to Liangzhou to join the army." ”

Old Mr. Helian stroked his beard and praised: "It is excellent that young people have such ambition. After speaking, he looked up at the sky, the rain had stopped in the middle of the night, and said, "Let's hurry to Brocade Town, your injuries are out of the way." ”

Chen Jingcang moved his fists and feet again and said, "Sir, do you look like something is going on?" the old man smiled.

He left some money for the farmer and left.

The ox cart drove on the official road, although it had just rained, but fortunately, the official road was smooth and the road was not too difficult, but the ox cart was slow, and the road of more than 30 miles also walked for an hour, and then I saw the gate of the brocade city from afar.

Brocade City is a relatively prosperous town, there are more than 800 soldiers stationed in it, although this town is close to the state city, but in fact, there are often thieves and bandits around, bandits, thieves have everything, wandering in the nearby dense forest, fortunately, the number of thieves is always only 100 people, and there are often officials to kill, so there is no bandit disaster in the city.

Brocade Town is a military town, and its role is not only to garrison and kill criminals, but also to connect the Central Plains states with a transportation hub.

When you are only two hundred steps from the city gate.

Chen Jingcang suddenly had a chilling killing machine flooding this world, and the qi machine was firmly locked on the ox cart.

A hundred steps away from Chen Jingcang, a figure was nailed to the ground, as if an impregnable city wall had been erected, to break the bones of the person who crashed into it.

Chen Jingcang sighed, still can't he hide?

was chased all the way from Liangzhou to Bingzhou, tossing and turning for thousands of miles, unable to escape the pursuit of maggots like tarsal bones.

Chen Jingcang jumped out of the ox cart and said to the old man: "Sir, my old friend is waiting for me, so I won't go with you, and I will definitely visit you next time." Helian Zhou also saw the figure in the distance from afar, and said with a smile: "It's okay." After saying that, he turned around and drove away.

At this time, the sky was still a little cloudy, a little breezy, with coolness, it was the weather, it was the sword intent.

Chen Jingcang walked slowly, clasped his hands, and tried to adjust the qi on his body, this battle was inevitable!

For the killer in front of him, Chen Jingcang felt that he had no chance of winning, just by virtue of his perception after the leakage of the qi machine, a master of at least the second grade, and he was only a second grade, but he was injured in as many as six places all over his body, and his combat power was greatly reduced.

The swordsman slowly pulled out the long sword he was carrying, and his figure instantly rushed away, Chen Jingcang also moved, and they all chose to run towards the dense forest not far away.

The sword was unsheathed, and the murderous aura was gone.

Chen Jingcang concentrates his energy and treats it concentratingly, if he can't block this first sword, then he can only die, if he can block it, then there is still a chance, even if it is slim, Chen Jingcang will not let go of this possibility.

The other swordsman came with a sword that was waiting for work, and the power was not amazing.

A sword stabbed straight out, with a chilling killing intent, and the target was Chen Jingcang's chest and heart.

Life and death are in this instant.
