Chapter 12: Peers

Su Miao was about to solve the two people who rushed towards her, but who knew that at this time, two people with good light skills suddenly came on the road, and the latter cut off the knives of the two men in black first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Miao touched Xiaoxue's head, and she was idle again.

Seeing that the two people who drew their swords to help each other fought easily, Su Miao turned her gaze back to Song Chen's side.

Song Chen saw that someone was going to sneak attack Su Miao, his heart was a little anxious, his movements were no longer slow, a dragon groan, his howling sky came out of the sheath, and he drew a semicircle very imposingly, with the emission of sword qi, the four black-clothed people who were fighting against him suddenly felt that the temperature around them had dropped. The man in black found that Song Chen's eyes had changed, and the eyes that were originally half-smiling were now cold, and when they came into contact with one of them, their hearts were all chuckled, and they instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The leader whistled and signaled to retreat, since the moment Song Chen drew his sword, they knew that this assassination operation could not be successful. But before they could make a move, and even before they could fully react, Song Chen burst out, the flexibility of his body was a little beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and he directly turned in the air at several angles, swinging his sword neatly, the action was no longer reserved, and the sword qi swept away devastatingly, and before he could see his movements clearly, the four black-clothed men were lying on the ground in the blink of an eye.

Song Chen didn't look at them anymore, flashed, and returned directly to Su Miao's side.

The other two unexpected visitors and the two men in black over there were still fighting inseparably, Song Chen's patience had been exhausted, so he directly raised his sword and stepped forward to cut it, his wonderfulness did not need others to protect him.

After Song Chen returned to Su Miao's side again, one of the two people was already lying down, and the remaining one was half-kneeling, swept away by Song Chen's gaze, and immediately trembled a little: "I'm not the leader......"

"I know." Song Chen smiled, "The leader is usually hard-mouthed, so you are the one who has a chance to live." ”

The man was stunned: "I don't know anything." We all drank poisoned wine before we set off, and we will die if we fail the mission......"

"I can save you." Su Miao's smile was like a flower, soft and cute, and her words were very credible.

The man lost his mind for a moment, looked at Su Miao for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "We are ...... sent from the Eagle Kingdom Palace"

His smile froze, and black blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth.

Song Chen shook his head: "He didn't tell the truth." His eyes turned to the young man next to him, who seemed to be stunned and was looking at them in a daze.

The two young men looked very similar in appearance and about the same size, and looked like twin brothers. At this moment, when he was looked at by Song Chen's frozen gaze, he seemed to come back to his senses, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Tai, we are just passing by......"

"Thank you for your help!" Song Chen arched his hand.

The expressions of the two of them instantly relaxed, and the one in brown clothes waved his hand: "We didn't help either."

Song Chen smiled and turned his head to look at Su Miao beside him: "Miaomiao, let's continue to hurry?"

Su Miao looked at the corpse on the ground and hesitated: "These people ......"

Song Chen snorted coldly, and his tone was very flat: "Since someone can send them out, naturally someone will collect the corpses for them."

Su Miao thought about it and felt that Song Chen was right.

The two got on their horses, said "goodbye" to the two brothers, and continued on their way.

After walking a few steps, the people behind also turned over and caught up: "This little brother and girl, are you also going to Eagle City?"

"That's right!" Su Miao looked at them with a smile.

The other party immediately felt that the pressure had dropped sharply, and he stepped forward a little: "Two friends, fortunately!" I'm Cui Ping from the Cui family in Lily of the Valley City, and this is my twin brother Cui An. ”

The Cui family in Lily of the Valley? Song Chen's heart moved slightly, but he remembered some things, he remembered the information of this family that he had seen in his grandfather's study.

The Cui family is not a big surname in Dalan, but the Cui family in Lily of the Valley City can be regarded as a well-known wealthy family. The Cui family is not famous for their strong martial arts disciples, but for their ability to do business, they are rooted in the coastal city of Lily of the Valley, and their business is almost all over the entire Lan country. It is not enough to call it a rich country, but it is a fact that the wealth is abundant. When it came to Cui Ping's father's generation, it is said that once when he went out to talk about business, he was kidnapped by mountain bandits and demanded a huge amount of ransom, and later he was rescued by a martial arts master. Since then, the Cui family has become keen to make friends with people in the martial arts, as well as inviting famous teachers to practice martial arts for their children.

Judging from the situation of the two brothers fighting with others, they still have the intention to practice martial arts. But with this kind of skill, general self-protection should be fine, but it is not wise to meddle in things like just now. But speaking of which, it is also enthusiastic.

Thinking of this, Song Chen also had some good feelings towards them, and responded with his hand: "Long admiration!" ”

Although Su Miao can be regarded as doing business with her master, Lin Jin's status is transcendent, and coupled with different industries, she has really never heard of the name of the Cui family in Lily of the Valley City. However, she didn't show her shortcomings in front of outsiders, and planned to ask him later when she was alone with Song Chen.

A group of four people will travel together for the time being.

Along the way, Song Chen knew the origin of the Cui brothers' character. After having one of their brothers and a sister, after eleven years, Cui's father was ready to start looking for a daughter-in-law for his eldest son, and unexpectedly got the twins Cui Ping and Cui An, it can be imagined that the youngest in the whole family was spoiled by the family, no wonder they were so innocent and simple. In this way, they who are not interested in their family's business still run out to walk the rivers and lakes.

"Have you heard?"

Before arriving in the next town, when they were having a sharp break in a tea pavilion on the side of the road, Cui An, who was more lively, asked Song Chen and Su Miao in a low voice, "The Eagle Kingdom got the treasure Heavenly Blade some time ago?" ”

Song Chen nodded, not paying much attention. Su Miao looked at him with great interest.

With encouragement, Cui An's conversation was even more interesting: "You know the blade of the sky, right? The treasure of martial arts! No. 1 on the list of famous swords! ”

Song Chen interjected with a smile: "You plan to fight?" The implication: Just by your skills?

Cui An actually understood, and waved his hand: "How is it possible?" We just used to join in the fun and learn a lot. But Brother Song, your martial arts are so high, it's completely okay...... Speaking of which, are you here for this too? ”

Song Chen glanced at Su Miao, and Su Miao nodded: "Let's also go and join in the fun." ”

"Then we can go together, let's go to Falcon City together!"

Cui An was a little carried away with joy, and reached out to pat Su Miao's shoulder beside him, but was swept away by Song Chen's instantly sharp eyes, and suddenly withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, rubbed his palm and asked Su Miao: "Miss Su, what do you think?" ”

Although they realized that they had only been together for less than two hours now, the Cui brothers had already seen that Song Chen was a cold and hard guy who was not easy to get along with, but as long as Su Miao opened his mouth, he rarely objected. So it's better to please him than to please Su Miao, anyway, they have wanted a cute sister like Su Miao for a long time.

After a moment in the tea pavilion, there were already several passers-by. They all went in the direction of Eagle City, and listened to the discussion of the people at the next table, and the content was mostly this Heavenly Blade Treasure Appreciation Conference.

After drinking tea, we continued on our way, and arrived at a small town called Cuicheng after dark, and there were only three inns in the town, two of which were full, and the last one had only two rooms.

"Brother Song sleeps on the bed, let's make the floor together!" Cui Ping automatically and consciously assigned, Su Miao's girl's family naturally wanted a separate room.

Song Chen frowned, he was not used to being in the same room with others, especially people who had just known each other for less than half a day-

Song Chen put a silver ticket of one hundred taels in front of the shopkeeper: "There are no other empty rooms?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, yes...... But it's not a separate room, it's a yard for the whole family to travel, there are six rooms in the yard, but you can't count the money by room, you only have four people, you can also stay if you want to stay, but you have to pay for the accommodation of a whole yard. ”

"Yes."

Under the leadership of the young man, they went to the courtyard they rented, and the two brothers chose two rooms adjacent to the west chamber, Su Miao lived in the main house, and Song Chen chose the east chamber adjacent to Su Miao.

Dinner was sent to the yard by the shopkeeper. After the meal, it was still early after the four of them finished washing, and the two Ping'an brothers originally wanted to keep Su Miao to chat, but Su Miao grabbed Song Chen's wrist and pulled him into her room, while saying to the Cui brothers: "You guys rest early, Ah Chen and I still have something to discuss." ”

"Huh?!" The Cui brothers were a little dumbfounded, Su Miao and Song Chen's relationship was good, they saw it along the way, but they didn't have to be so unshy about it, they were alone in the room behind closed doors at night, even if these two people had that meaning, didn't they get married yet!

Song Chen didn't think about it so much. If you look into it carefully, he actually knows the most among the four people in terms of etiquette. But in Song Chen's mind, he and Su Miao are childhood sweethearts, and it is normal for them to have a closer relationship than others. Su Miao may be the reason why she has followed the informal master since she was a child, although she is smart, her personality is a bit big. The most important thing is that he knew that Su Miao wanted to discuss something with him.

As Song Chen expected, Su Miao really asked about the assassins outside the bustard city.

There were outsiders present before, Su Miao couldn't find a chance to ask, in fact, she had been pondering in her heart: "Ah Chen, do you know the identities of those assassins?" "Those people are obviously coming for Song Chen.

Song Chen sat down at the table with a relaxed expression: "I can probably guess a few ......"

"Who is so obsessed with killing you?" Su Miao was a little puzzled, "I was the owner of Tang Zhuang before, and now I am coming at you again." ”

"Do you remember what the man said before he was poisoned?" Song Chen gave Su Miao a detailed analysis, "He said that he was sent from the Eagle Kingdom Palace. If he had told the truth, then he wouldn't have had to kill himself, so he had another purpose. The reason why I deliberately mentioned the Eagle Kingdom Palace, I guess it has something to do with my identity! ”

"Identity?" Su Miao leaned on the table with her hands on her cheeks, and looked at Song Chen with bright eyes.

Song Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch her head: "No matter what I say, I can be regarded as a member of the royal family of Dalan, if something happens in the Eagle Country, or is it plotted by someone sent from the Eagle Country Palace, how can Emperor Dalan react?" Isn't there a contradiction between Dalan and Eagle Country? Think about it, if there is a conflict between these two countries, who will benefit the most? ”
