[Chapter 72 Return] See who can be angry with whom

In the ice room of the back mountain, Duan Yao was holding the night pearl and looking at the internal strength of the heart on the stone wall: "This is the Bodhicitta Sutra?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Yes." ”

Duan Yao said: "No wonder Master wants to give you Xuanming Cold Iron." "It's the same yin to poison, two by two together, naturally twice the result with half the effort. I have always wondered why a lump of iron can be called invincible in the world, and I think that maybe one day it will be reborn and changed. But it wasn't until now that I realized that the Xuanming Cold Iron should have been this mottled appearance, and as for whether it was broken iron or a demon sword, it all depended on who took it.

Duan Baiyue said: "Is it cold? ”

"It's fine." Duan Yao said, "When I was a child, I always wanted to come to this ice room, but Master always refused to let me. ”

Duan Baiyue smiled and leaned against the stone wall.

"Don't you really want to go out and have a look?" Duan Yao asked.

Duan Baiyue shook her head.

Duan Yao looked at him and wanted to speak, but the stone door was suddenly opened.

Duan Baiyue's heart instantly emptied, and she turned her head to look out.

Master was the only one who came in.

Duan Baiyue's expression stiffened slightly, and the brilliance in her eyes was fleeting.

Duan Yao asked, "The emperor is going to demolish the Southwest Mansion?" ”

Nanmo said evilly: "All the things that should be said are finished, the emperor has already left, go back to the royal city." ”

Duan Baiyue closed her eyes slightly, and her voice was hoarse: "Thank you, Master." ”

"He met the Assassin when he came." Nan Mo Xie continued, "I don't know where the other party came from, it is said that the kung fu is excellent, the shadow guards are all injured, and even Duan Nian has been hit, the reason why they didn't go back to the Southwest Mansion this time is because they are still healing in Moonlight City." ”

"Assassins?" Duan Baiyue suddenly opened her eyes.

"And looking at the walking posture, it seems that even the emperor was injured." Nanmo Evil Dao, "Moonlight City is still more than twenty days away from the Southwest Mansion, and during this time, he is afraid that he has been rushing with injuries. ”

"The shadow guard is injured, and Duan Nian is not here, what should I do on the way back?" Duan Yao asked.

As soon as the words fell, Duan Baiyue had already left the ice room.

Nanmo patted Duan Yao on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow.

The black horses galloped through the streets, and the people in the bazaar scattered in all directions, complaining with palpitations and complaining that this was a rough and reckless man who knew so much about etiquette. It's just that after he left, before he could set up the stall again, another person rode a horse and galloped over, so the big guy had to hide with a dustpan again, but this time he saw it clearly, it turned out that the person on horseback was Duan Yao.

The crowd immediately applauded.

This riding posture is good!

After all, everyone loves the little prince, when he was a child, he was tender and heroic, and when he grew up, he was happy when he saw it, and he wanted to marry his daughter.

It doesn't hurt to ride a horse in the middle of the city, because there must be something big.

As the sun gradually set, Chu Yuan tied his horse to a tree, found a clearing in the forest by himself, collected dry firewood and made a fire, sat next to him and was distracted, and he didn't eat.

Duan Yao said behind him, "Your Majesty." ”

Chu Yuan still held the wooden stick in his hand and stirred the fire, and did not look back.

"Your Majesty." Duan Yao sat next to him and turned his head to look at him, feeling a little apprehensive.

"Grown up." Chu Yuan dusted off the mist on his shoulders for him, "Three years, it's really fast." ”

"An hour further on, you'll come to a small village." Duan Yao said, "It's better to go there and rest tonight." "Although it is also a poor place, there are always tiles to cover it, which is better than eating and sleeping here.

"Be more cheerful in the woods." Chu Yuan said, "It's good to have starlight tonight, I don't think it will snow." ”

Duan Yao said again: "Then I'll go hunt a few snowcocks, there is nothing else to eat here." ”

"Not necessarily." Chu Yuan said, "It's good that you can come and see me." ”

"The Southwest Mansion has dispatched troops, and they will escort the emperor all the way, and they are guarding outside the forest at this time." Duan Yao said, "And the doctor, I heard from the master that the emperor seems to be injured, but you want to let him in?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a sword injury." Chu Yuan said, "I will accept the army for the time being." As for you, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest early, and you don't have to stay here. ”

Duan Yao said: "I'll leave at dawn." ”

"It's fine." Chu Yuan smiled, continued to guard the fire, and did not speak again.

There was silence in the forest, and the rustling of dead leaves could almost be heard.

Did you really mention a word of my brother? Duan Yao was holding a piece of withered grass in her hand, and she felt relieved, and she felt sad and wanted to cry.

In the second half of the night, Chu Yuan changed his posture and fell asleep against the tree.

Duan Yao took off his cloak, carefully wrapped the person, and lit the fire a little more, and stayed with him until Dongfang was white, and then turned to leave.

The sound of footsteps in his ears gradually faded away, Chu Yuan opened his eyes, and kept looking at the sky, his face couldn't tell what was going on.

Duan Yao walked all the way out of the woods, and then said, "Let's go, go home, the emperor is fine." ”

"Just because it's okay now doesn't mean there won't be an accident along the way." Duan Baiyue said, "I'll send him back to the royal city." ”

"Just know, it's not a surprise at all." Duan Yao sighed, "Then I'll go back first, you be careful all the way." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded and strode into the dense forest.

After a sleepless night, Chu Yuan's mind was a little dizzy, he found a cold stream and washed his face, and his spirit came back a little. When he turned around, he saw that the southwest army had been neatly lined up in two columns, accompanied by a carriage, kneeling down on one knee and bowing his head: "See the emperor." ”

"Let's be flat." Chu Yuan coughed quietly and bent down into the carriage. There is a brocade quilt stove, as well as dim sum hot tea, and a few books, I think I am afraid that the road will be boring.

"Drive!" The coachman flicked his whip and drove the carriage all the way north.

Chongyang, green calyx, praying for water, Tianmin...... Along the way, we passed through one town after another, and we got farther and farther away from the southwestern province. The night was dark, and in the inn of Hongmu City, Chu Yuan raised his head and drank a glass of turbid wine, his mouth was spicy, and he choked with tears.

After crossing the Manganese Qi River, it is the border of the Great Chu. Since he followed all the way, why didn't he even show up.

Duan Baiyue, Duan Baiyue.

The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered in an instant. Chu Yuan closed his eyes, his heart was like a knife, and his cheeks were cold.

Hongmu City used to be an important town in the southwest, but because of the diversion of the river, it gradually lost its fortress status. In addition, the soil is poor, and there is no way to grow melons, fruits and food, so in the past few years, people have moved one after another, and many houses have been vacant in this city, and some even have rotten door locks.

The candle flame flickered slightly, illuminating the gray tables and chairs around them, as well as a dozen fierce faces. There was a long knife and a night suit on the table, and at a glance, I knew that something was going to happen tonight. Everyone was talking in a low voice, but they were speaking in a foreign language, and then looking at their appearances, they all had thick eyebrows, black skin and high cheekbones, as if they were from the South Seas.

One of the hook-nosed men, looking at the leader, raised the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, then slapped the table and picked up the knife, and took the lead to rush out, but the door had not yet come out, but he suddenly stopped.

Duan Baiyue stood in the courtyard with a sword, looking at everyone coldly. Dressed in black, he almost blended in with the night, his silver mask glowing with cold glow in the moonlight, and his eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty tiger.

The other party obviously wouldn't have thought that there would be more people in this courtyard for no reason, and they were suddenly shocked and drew their swords against each other.

Duan Baiyue said: "I don't think I can do it. ”

The hook-nosed monster screamed, and slashed down with a knife in the air, the moves were extremely weird, and it didn't look like a human on a closer look, but like a zombie. More than a dozen people behind him also attacked from different directions, trying to surround and kill people.

Duan Baiyue dodged, the cold light in his hand flashed, the Xuanming Cold Iron hummed in the cold air, and the moment it came into contact with the blood, the sword body flashed with strange flowers.

Screams rang out one after another, and blood splattered all over the walls in an instant. Everyone rolled and twisted on the ground, and the panic and severe pain almost overwhelmed their minds - one move failed, and it was a fiasco, such a big gap, it was impossible to tell whether it was a god or a ghost standing in front of them, otherwise how could there be such a fast skill?

Duan Baiyue put the sword back into its sheath, waved his hand and called the accompanying shadow guard, and whispered a few words.

"Yes." The shadow guard nodded, and after taking the men away, he set fire to the deserted mansion again.

Since there was no one living around, it was not until the early morning of the next day that the street patrol officials discovered that there was a fire, so they hurriedly reported to the officials, and fortunately no one lived, otherwise I was afraid that someone would die.

Until noon that day, Chu Yuan had not been seen going out. The commander of the Southwest Army who accompanied him had the courage to knock on the door and said carefully: "Your Majesty, are you still in a hurry today?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "Let's rest for two more days, I'm tired." ”

The Commander hurriedly received the order and closed the door for him.

Duan Baiyue sat on the roof with her sword in her arms, looking at the Hongmu Inn from afar. The windows are not covered, and you can see vague figures, eating, reading, or being in a daze.

Chu Yuan removed the bandage on his calf, and the wound was no longer as deep as before, but it was still oozing some blood. When I gritted my teeth and changed the medicine, my back was already covered with cold sweat. Chu Yuan threw the medicine bottle aside, his face turned pale, and he sighed with relief.

The world's number one miracle doctor can also dispense such a life-threatening medicine.

"Ahh Ye Jin sneezed.

"Got a cold?" Shen Qianfeng reached out and tested the temperature of his forehead, "I knew that I would have traveled more last night, even if I only found a broken temple, I wouldn't have to sleep in the forest for a night." ”

"Drive!" Ye Jin didn't seem to hear what he was saying, and flicked the reins fiercely, leaving the person far behind.

The Shen League Master had a headache, waved his hand and ordered the secret guard to follow him, and the smoke and dust rolled all the way to catch up.

Ye Jin was furious in his heart, why did someone become an emperor and still be running around in the north and south! Everyone knows that the Southwest Mansion is a nest of worms, and it is good to go over by yourself, is it evil!

Later in the evening, Chu Yuan opened the door and called the wine and food in. In the poor countryside, there are few jars of good wine, only Shaoxing wine from the south of the Yangtze River can be named.

"Your Majesty." Ying Wei comforted, "If you are injured, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to drink." ”

"Just a glass or two." Chu Yuan said, "It's okay. ”

After the shadow guard retreated, Chu Yuan opened the window and stood by the window with the majestic mountains and rivers of the wine jar.

Duan Baiyue's eyes widened.

Chu Yuan opened the seal, poured a large bowl in a hurry, raised his head and drank it all, choking and blushing.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Second bowl.

The third bowl.

Fourth bowl.

……

Duan Baiyue felt that she seemed to be thinking about things too simply.
