Chapter 380: One Hundred Thousand Swords

Su Changyan hummed lightly and laughed softly, "It's okay, he didn't come on the day I ascended the throne, so I don't owe each other." โ€

Guan Changye's voice was hoarse and said with a wry smile: "When you ascended the throne, he was still fighting in Yan Mang, and he couldn't come even if he wanted to." โ€

Su Changyan looked at Guan Changye in a daze, and said in disbelief, "He...... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Guan Changye cried and laughed and said, "Why didn't he go to Yan Mang, now Yan Mang has been captured by the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, it is said that the Chai royal family has all died, and the person who led the troops to attack the rest of the city is Chu Xianzhao." โ€

She was dumbfounded, her silky figure wrapped in a red robe trembled slowly, she couldn't believe that these things were done by Chu Xuan's church, she thought that after she left him, he would live a peaceful life in the palace, just like when she accompanied him, how could she go to Yan Mang to fight and kill, she couldn't believe it.

Guan Changye clenched his fists and said softly, "Forgive me for saying more, Yan Mang's queen Chai Lumu died at his hands, it was my mistake, I shouldn't have taught that kid swordsmanship, and I shouldn't have let him force His Majesty to come back here." โ€

Su Younu shook his head, a little relieved, and said, "I'm so tired......"

I don't know if it's to myself or to him.

He killed that Empress Yan Mang, how would the people of the world scold him?

But she won't scold him, she just thinks that men and women in the world, if they like each other, no matter what kind of wrong things he has done, she will forgive him, even if the whole world doesn't understand him, she will believe him.

In her dreams, how many times did she want to take off this imperial robe and leave, thinking about the scene of her reunion after secretly running back to Yinguo, but when she woke up, she found that she couldn't go, and she didn't dare to go.

Her heart hurts.

Guan Changye sighed softly and said, "I can't blame that kid for this matter, it must be the intention of Emperor Yin to let Chu instantly summon Yan Mang to fight, people have their own destiny in life, and some people can do what they like for the rest of their lives, which is very lucky, but many people can't do what they like to do, they can only do what others want him to do, and accept the alliance." It's better for Empress Yan Mang to die at the hands of that kid than to be killed by those wolf-like soldiers-"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, raised his hand and slapped himself hard, the former Queen of Xilin was killed by Yinjun who couldn't bear to commit suicide, he looked at the young woman with palpitations, the woman smiled dumbly and raised her hand to wipe the blood from the man's lips, and shook her head slightly.

Guan Changye couldn't wait to chop off his tongue, even if Su Changyan was not angry, his mood was not much better.

Uncle Guan, a young woman, I want you to tell me sooner, if he needs help, we can also help, I don't want him to bear so many things alone, it feels very tiring to bear alone, I know. โ€

After she left, the man looked at the lake and didn't leave for a long time.

The man suddenly remembered a sentence, it was said by a certain scholar, what the lovers of the rivers and lakes eventually become dependents, it is better to forget about each other in the rivers and lakes.

He was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out these two words.

"Fart!"

The man stood up suddenly, still facing Xiaohu.

As the old man got up, there were 100,000 genuine Fallen God Steel Swords rising from the lake, which could be described as a vast scene!

If he was still here when the Yin army entered the city, the 100,000 swords hidden in this lake would have been used to kill these iron barbarians who didn't know the height of the sky!

100,000 swords, 100,000 heads, isn't enough?

The palace is full of sword energy!

......

......

Approaching White Lotus City, Changchun County, Chu Xianzhao and his party got off the horse and found a restaurant to rest.

This restaurant with new flags is crowded with people, and the restaurant guys who are watching and listening to all directions beckoning this group of distinguished guests to sit on the second floor, those who were taken to the west of the court as officials of the Hanlin Academy saw that the business was booming, and looked up at the scenery on the second floor, and the diners on the second floor also stretched their necks to look at this batch of white-robed bachelors, among which there were five hundred elite horses parked in front of the restaurant, Chu instantly summoned the guys to get some good dishes for them to eat, and the long journey was tiring.

Along the way, he listened to the high-minded talk of those bachelors, so lively, most of these bachelors who entered the west are poor students, and those powerful people in the city don't want their children to go to the big red city in the west to be officials in the place where birds don't, maybe it will be difficult to return to Yinguo several times in their lives, even so they are still very desperate to fight for this opportunity.

At that time, the minister of Xilin was slaughtered a lot by the iron cavalry of Yinguo, and most of the rest committed suicide and martyrdom, and the restoration of Xilin needed a large number of reading seeds and generals, and a group of them had been transferred from the Yinguo court before, and now Chu Xianzhao brought another batch over, hoping that she would be very happy to see it.

Chu Xianzhao sat by the window and drank, a gentle knock on the door sounded, the young man said come in, and a little girl walked into the room with the dishes, and rubbed the door with her slender legs to close it.

She looked at the young man by the window timidly put down the dishes, Chu Xianzhao looked at the small and delicate fair-skinned girl, the girl looked at her toes, her ears were red, Chu Xianzhao suddenly became playful, came to the dining table and sat down, picked up a piece of fish and chewed it slowly, and said with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

The girl let out a soft sigh, and sat a little nervously opposite Chu Xianzhao, Chu Xuanzhao put a piece of ointment in her bowl, she whispered thank you, and ate carefully and slowly.

She suddenly asked curiously, "Who is Childe, I just saw your horse team coming from the city gate from afar, what a big pomp." โ€

Chu instant

Zhao smiled and said, "We are from the Yin Kingdom, those are the students of the Yin Kingdom who went to the Xilin Imperial Court as officials, and I am the son of the Yin Kingdom, and I really want to go to the Great Red City to see your Majesty the Empress." โ€

The pretty girl looked at him blankly, there was too much information in Chu Xuan's words for her to react, she hurriedly swallowed the piece of meat and smiled softly, "Childe, although I ordered, I will rest here tonight, what does Childe want, we will prepare it for Childe tonight." โ€

Chu Xianzhao smiled and nodded, reached out to wipe the green onion from her lips for her, squinted and quipped, "Like a little flower cat." โ€

"Do you want to warm up your bed tonight?" I wonder when Childe will rest tonight?"

She blushed as she said this. Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, nodded her forehead, and reprimanded softly, "Do you say such things to every man who comes here?"

The girl pursed the corners of her mouth a little aggrieved, the waitress in these restaurants in addition to washing dishes and wiping the table also worked part-time to warm the bed for the drinkers, which is a very common thing, and it is even more common in the cold season, and in the hot summer, they have to hold a fan for the drinkers to fan all night and are not allowed to doze off, serving the guests is very familiar, compared to those men who sleep and snoring all day, this young and handsome son is also pleasing to the eye, and it is not a loss to stay here with him all night.

Chu Xianzhao smiled at her and said, "You don't need to warm the quilt for me, bring a pot of wine later." โ€

Chu Xianzhao gently patted her shoulder, and the girl nodded slightly, her eyes widened slightly, a little lost and puzzled, and turned around and left the room.

Chu Xianzhao watched her close the door, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and rested, in her shallow sleep, Chu Xianzhao could always see some memories that did not belong to him, and his mother passed on the blood of sunrise to him at the same time, she also gave him those memories from the ancestors.

Gradually, he felt that the quilt on his body was gone, and he seemed to be lying in a simple little tent, outside which was green grass, and a stream flowed like a white mist.

He lay in this world, feeling that his mutual ups and downs with some mysterious rhythm, and his whole body was warm, as if he was sleeping with a quilt in the middle of winter, a very beautiful feeling, and the boy gradually fell asleep, dreamless all night.

Running from Lin'an City to the West of Changchun County White Lotus City, separated by three states, a full 2,000 miles away, fortunately, the father and the emperor gave his horses a good foot strength, although there are 400 miles a day, if they gallop quickly, maybe they will now arrive in the big red city, but also bring this group of students who are powerless, the carriage can only go 50 miles an hour, and they have to rest for a while every two hours.

Fortunately, I am not in a hurry, I stop and rest along the way, get off the bus to play with good scenery, or talk to those students.

After they entered the western Linzhou, Chu Xianzhao and a post station soldier revealed their identities, and after a while, thousands of cavalry rushed in, saying that they wanted to personally escort them to the Great Red City, and the general led by him looked majestic, and he looked relieved after confirming the identity of Chu Xianzhao and those students.

After the Yin State occupied the west, 300,000 iron cavalry were stationed in various places in the west alone, and the Green Eagle Battalion could be described as a famous west, and the light armor and heavy armor were second only to the equipment of the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry. Chu Xianzhao personally spoke, and asked the general for a red dragon horse, this dark cyan fierce horse has red eyes, huge nostrils have been spewing white gas, and its body is nearly half larger than an ordinary war horse, riding this horse is as refreshing as riding a dragon.

Chu Xuanzhao is also the first time to see the red dragon horse, known as the first in the Yinguo, very curious to ride on the horse, among the many white horse scholars seem to stand out, the young man is leisurely, such as the swordsman of the rivers and lakes with a sword, the college students with a book, and most of the young people and the crown will go out to experience it.

Chu Xianzhao praised this batch of armor at that time for their morale as strong as dragons, their clothes and armor were bright, and they were not half a point more powerful than the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry, which made those soldiers happy and happy, and they couldn't help but get a little closer when they were comfortable talking.

There are many horse thieves on the border of Yizhou, the soldiers here are in chaos that the so-called people are not living well, even the iron cavalry is difficult to suppress these horse thieves, these horse thieves are cunning as snakes, and the bows and arrows they shoot are far and accurate, they use the hunting attack method to attack the military camp, their target is the armor on the soldiers, they can always find the gap in the soldier's armor and send the feather arrows in, and before the soldiers fall to the ground, throw out the chain hook to hook their heads, drag them all the way back to the stockade, peel off the armor and sell it to the armor merchants on the side of the bottle countryใ€‚

Compared to Snow Lotus City's peace and self-control, with a group of unarmed soldiers here, Chu Xianzhao is even more worried, fortunately, now there is a group of cavalry to shelter them to the big red city, Yinguo Iron Cavalry is the devil on the battlefield, but not good at fighting in the mountains, but if you encounter groups of horse thieves, it is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak.

After Chu Xianzhao set up the group of soldiers in a relatively simple inn, he told the general that he wanted to go around the neighborhood alone, and refused the soldiers that the general had accompanied him.

This afternoon, Chu Xianzhao led the horse slowly under the scorching sun, and there was also some artistic conception of a white horse fighting a sword to walk the frontier when the wind and sand blew on the border, Chu Zhaozhao led the horse all the way, and finally came to a place where he could see the smoke, and the young man raised his eyes to look, and there was a group of people living by the lake not far away.

He suddenly saw a slender figure sitting on the lake and playing the flute, his eyes widened slightly, there was a girl playing solo and blowing, the tone was tactful and desolate, he had listened to his sister's since he was a child, and he was also familiar with the rhythm.

Chu Xianzhao sat on horseback and listened for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. The girl is slim and elegant, although it is not as embroidered as those ladies in the noble room, but the clothes are simple and clean, and the girl's side face is as white as a goose egg, which can be described as natural beauty.

The girl played facing the lake, the jade lips played the wooden flute lightly, the artistic conception in the song was sad, playing facing the lake, Chu Xianzhao listened and listened, and suddenly missed Su Nianyu's slender jade fingers like spring onions, the taste of the fingertips, thinking about it is really endless.

I don't know when the sound of the flute gradually stopped, and the girl not far away was blushing by him, and two extremely good-looking fingers were quiet

Twisting the corners of his clothes.

Chu Xianzhao smiled, and the fox's tail subconsciously turned up again, this ability to mess with flowers and grass is passed down in one line, but love words kill, Zhu Ziwei and Tantai Ningsu are the best examples, Chu Xianzhao didn't plan to have anything to do with her, just turn over and dismount and go over to beg for saliva and drink.

The girl by the lake saw Chu Xianzhao walking slowly, and suddenly she was a little surprised, she subconsciously clenched the wooden flute, lowered her head and was silent, seeing that he looked like a good person with a smile on the corner of her mouth, which made her bite her lower lip with some peace of mind, but she still didn't dare to raise her head to look at him.

She is the same as countless displaced people who have returned to the West, she is also one of them, but when the West was wiped out by the Yinguo Railway, she was still a five or six-year-old child, and was held by her parents to mix into the refugee wave and left this land that had never left for generations, and their status in the Westside Refugees in the Yinguo is undoubted, the blood and sweat of men and the beauty of women can be counted according to two catties, and those who are mediocre become slaves, and women who are a little beautiful will be bought as playthings, her mother is so coveted by a half-hundred-year-old pawnshop owner, and personally brings slaves to their door to rob people, and her mother would rather die than commit suicide with a knife, so that those people will leave in a huffใ€‚

A few years ago, before his father died of illness, he told him that he must go back to his home in Xilin to take a look in his lifetime, and it happened that Su Changyan returned to Xilin with the jade seal of the dynasty, and Yinguo let these westbound refugees embark on the journey back to their hometowns.

Although the girl was destitute and helpless, someone took pity on her hard life and filial piety and brought her back to Xilin, and as in the past, she followed the westbound refugees on the way home.

On the way home, the girl only brought a jar of ashes and a wooden flute, from the moment she stepped into the western land, the girl sat behind the carriage and played the flute all the way, scattering the ashes, and the sound of the flute was endless.

Without waiting for Chu to beg for water, the girl's voice was like a mosquito chirping, "Where are you from?"

Chu Xianzhao told her bluntly, "We are from the Yin Kingdom, and we are all going to the Xilin Imperial Court to be officials, and you are the only one here, girl, what about your parents and relatives?"

She shook her head and said, "I have all died in Yinguo, and I now live with my uncle and aunt." โ€

Chu Xianzhao sat by the river with her, took the half bowl of water she handed over and drank it all, and also motioned for her to sit beside her, the girl blushed and did not dare to sit too close or too far away.

Chu Xianzhao smelled the unique girlish fragrance on her body, the girl had a pair of eyes full of aura, these eyes did not show how smart she was, but her heart was clear, like the clear lake in front of her, Chu Xianzhao couldn't think of words for a while, the girl didn't speak and lowered her head to touch the deep purple wooden flute, this flute was made by her mother herself, although it is not a high-quality cherished wooden flute, but it is also an inexorable existence in the girl's heart.

Chu Xianzhao picked up a leaf with a smile and a word, gently folded the leaf to his lips, and blew the song "Spring Ballad" that was sung by Yutai Tranquility

The girl's eyes widened and she looked at this son with a leaf blowing song, the tune was long and charming, ethereal and free, and the girl's pretty face was crimson unconsciously, becoming more and more delicate and moving.

Chu Xianzhao casually played the tune, and the girl didn't speak, just stared at those good-looking eyes, gently put the wooden flute to her lips, and blew it with Chu Xianzhao's tune.

The northern region is not as open as the southern continent, and the customs are extremely open, especially in remote places, it is also a very common phenomenon for women to lose their fathers and remarry their uncles, not to mention barbaric customs such as marriage robbery. In this land that was first covered with ice and snow, survival is always above ethics.

The girl gradually let go of her body and mind, she gently played the flute on Chu Xianzhao's shoulder, looked at the lake and was stunned.

If my brother was sitting here, if he met such a clear woman who brought water to him, he would have been unable to help but make a joke, and while the woman was shy, he would half-push and half-do the joy of fish and water, Chu Xianzhao suddenly put down the leaf and flicked it on her face, turned his head and smiled evilly, "What's your name?"

The girl was thin-skinned, and the touch on her face made her a little confused, she couldn't say a word for a long time, Chu Xianzhao didn't embarrass her, lying on the grass by the lake and watching the rain fluttering, such a leisurely and carefree day, I haven't enjoyed it for a long time.

The girl who was sitting next to Chu Xianzhao with her legs clamped her legs held the wooden flute and whispered, "My name is Helian Liang." โ€

Chu Xianzhao asked in his own voice, "Helian...... What is your relationship with the Helian family?"

Her words reminded her of the first year of Helian who used to be called a brother, and the Helian Qing'er who died on the execution ground to save Su Changqing, since then, Helian disappeared from Lin'an City in the first year, and the two sisters and brothers who were once famous in the imperial city left him, which often made him feel a deep sense of guilt.

She said softly, "The Helian family is one of the four major families in Xilin, except for the members of this family, people like me are one of the tens of thousands of people surnamed Helian in Xilin, just a surname, and it has nothing to do with their noble family." โ€

Chu Xianzhao squinted and smiled, "You remind me of one or two old people, who are also surnamed Helian." โ€

"Are they still alive?"

"They're all dead. โ€

"Oh......" This sentence made the girl have a melancholy feeling, and she subconsciously asked Chu Xuanzhao: "That son, are you also from Xilin, and like me, you are also a homeless person returning to your hometown?"

Chu Xianzhao pinched her earlobe and teased, "I'm not from Xilin, I'm from Yinguo, and I'm also His Royal Highness the Prince of Yinguo, do you believe it or not?"

Her head shook like a rattle, "Childe is joking again, how could the prince of Yinguo come to such a place?"

Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but smile, "You say no, then I'm not very faceless, I'm not only the son of the Yin Kingdom, I almost became your prince in the west!"

She pursed her lips and retorted solemnly, "Childe really likes to joke, and our Emperor His Majesty is a woman. โ€
