Yingcheng is thousands of miles away from Danyang, and because of the civil war, the road is not very peaceful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everywhere you can see the bandits who occupy the mountain as the king, among which there are many remnants of the soldiers who fled from the battle of Xianyang City, because they are afraid of the court's guilt, they simply form groups of grass for the cowards.

Maybe it's because the three of Zhanbai are weak and they don't have a vicious face, so they have provoked a lot of strongmen to block the road, there are robbers, and there is no shortage of murderers.

Among the three, although Zhan Bai can be regarded as powerless, Jing Ke and Nie Zheng are both top assassins, and the small group of bandits can't even get out of their moves, even if they sometimes rely on the strength of the crowd, it is difficult to please them. As for the big bandits, they couldn't raise the interest to rob three passers-by who didn't seem to be wealthy.

Seeing that it was only a day's journey from Danyang, while the sky was not dark, the three of them finally found a dilapidated Taoist temple, and planned to settle here and perch for a night.

It can be seen that this temple has been abandoned for a long time, the walls are collapsing everywhere, the courtyard is also overgrown with weeds, and the statues of the gods in the temple are even more mottled and have long been unable to see their original appearance.

"Is this offering Lao Tzu?" Zhan Bai looked at the statue in the center and guessed.

"Maybe, or maybe not, it's all broken like this, who can recognize it." In just a few days of contact, under the influence of his ears and eyes, Nie Zheng could feel that the tone of his speech seemed to be more profound.

The so-called depth means that what is said is the same as not saying it, this is what Nie Zheng has just realized from Zhanbai and Jing Ke, and it is regarded as the most reasonable and clear statement.

Listening to Nie Zheng's words, Jing Ke frowned slightly, feeling very awkward in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"I can only be here for one night tonight." Zhan Bai looked around, and there was no spurning in his tone.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Zhanbai can't even remember how long he hasn't lived in such a harsh environment.

The ground was covered with dust, the corners were covered with cobwebs, and even a mouse could be seen poking its head out of the hole to check on its new neighbor out of curiosity from time to time.

Fortunately, although he is not adaptable, Zhanbai is not hypocritical.

Look at the sky outside the house, I'm afraid it's going to rain again tonight, and it's not easy to have a place to live in this wilderness.

……

Thundered!!!

As night fell, the rain of early summer swept the whole land without hesitation with the help of lightning and thunder, and even the monks had to feel the majesty of heaven even if they saw it.

Beside the lit bonfire, Zhan Bai stood by without shame, watching the barbecue meat in Jing Ke's hands in Nie Zheng's hand be roasted into golden light by the flames.

For the Assassins, if they did not have the means to be self-reliant, they were definitely not qualified.

Obviously, Jing Ke and Nie Zheng have quite a lot of attainments in barbecue, simple ingredients, but through the precise control of the heat, the originally dry jerky immediately exudes an attractive aroma.

"If you can sprinkle some cumin or chili peppers, it might taste even better." Zhanbai, whose index finger moved, didn't forget to make a statement, which made Nie Zheng on the other side roll his eyes, if he didn't know that he couldn't talk about the other party, I am afraid that he would have complained a long time ago.

"Compared to spices, I think self-sufficiency has a different flavor." Jing Ke didn't have so many fears, and he stuffed the half-cooked barbecue in his hand into Zhanbai's hand angrily, and then picked up another piece of barbecue and roasted it attentively.

Belch?

Zhanbai's expression stiffened slightly, is this considered self-inflicted and unlived?

It's not that Zhanbai doesn't know how to barbecue, I think back then, when he was in the Void Land, his skills in surviving in the wild were not necessarily weaker than the other two people here, but for so many years, he was used to being served, and he developed the habit of talking and not doing it.

But obviously, Jing Ke didn't mean to show his whiteness.

"Then again, back then, I did know a friend who had good barbecue skills." Zhanbai turned the wooden fork in his hand to heat the barbecue evenly, and said as if unintentionally, "What's more coincidental is that my friend's name is only one word different from me, and there is one more word between Zhanbai." ”

"Zhan Yibai? And that's a real coincidence. Nie Zheng was also a little surprised when he heard it.

On the contrary, the corners of Jing Ke's eyes jumped slightly, and although he quickly calmed down, this throbbing still did not escape Zhanbai's eyes.

Seeing that Jing Ke didn't say anything, Zhanbai didn't ask too much, but continued to chat with Nie Zheng in a braggart tone, "Who said it wasn't, speaking of which, I haven't seen that friend for many years." ”

"Many years, how long?" Finally, Jing Ke couldn't help but speak.

"Huh? This really has to be calculated. Zhan Bai pinched his fingers matter-of-factly, "It's been almost six years." ”

"Six years?" Jing Ke muttered in a low voice, his expression seemed to be a little dazed.

"What, Brother Jing Ke doesn't know my friend?" Zhan Bai asked seemingly unintentionally.

"I don't know, I just lament that time flies too fast." Jing Ke hurriedly covered up.

First, there was no word, and all that was left in the ruined temple was the sizzling sound of the barbecue fat dripping onto the bonfire.

"Hey, someone seems to be coming?" Unlike the other two, who had distracting thoughts, Nie Zheng's ears moved slightly, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves from the majestic rain curtain outside.

Zhan Bai and Jing Ke woke up suddenly, the former really didn't hear it because his cultivation was too weak, but after listening to it, the latter got an accurate answer.

"There are four riders." As he spoke, Jing Ke's hand had already clenched the Qingwen Sword at his waist.

At the beginning, Jing Ke mortgaged the Qingwen Sword to Zhanbai, and later, since he came as agreed, Zhanbai also returned it along the river.

The so-called harm is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable, especially for the Assassins, and they are not hesitant to guard against the worst outcome for any stranger.

Sure enough, Nie Zheng on the side had already tightened his weapon.

On the contrary, Zhan Bai did not have too many surprises, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Count the days, it should also come." ”

As expected, when the temple door was pushed open from the outside, the eyes of the four people who came in couldn't help but light up after seeing Zhanbai.

"Disciple, I've seen the sect master."

……

The four of them first took off their robes, and then bowed to Zhanbai in unison.

There were three men and one woman, huh...... At least judging from their outfits, as for their identities, they are Chu Chi, Yan Xiu'er, Cang Jiansheng and Yan Mi.

Before Zhanbai left Yingcheng, he informed Xiao Na who was in Danyang through Yi Mei, and asked him to send someone to answer him before he entered Danyang.

Although this Taoist temple is dilapidated, it is on the way to Danyang, so although it is a bit of a coincidence to meet Chu Chi and the four here, it is not an accident.

"Unexpectedly, it was the four of you who came to answer." Zhan Bai chuckled, "What's the situation in Danyang now?" ”

"This ......" Chu Chi did not shy away from glancing at Jing Ke and Nie Zheng, the meaning was self-evident.

"It's okay, I asked these two to help with the fist." Zhan Bai shook his head.

"Hmm." Since this is the case, Chu Chi put his mind at ease, "Sect Master, the current Danyang ...... It's messy. ”
