Chapter 36 The Remnant of the Glows Seems to Melt 2
Horse-drawn carriages drove through the streets, through the bustling crowds, from the center of Bianjing to the heart of Bianjing, the Imperial City. Strangely, the more the origin of Bianjing's life, the final point of everything, but the more sparsely populated, the security gradually tightened, the whole Bianjing from the outside to the inside, from the barren gradually to lively, to the most prosperous apex and abruptly stopped, quickly decayed to the middle, to the barren border is more cold than the imperial city. They're heading to this place.
At this moment the carriage was driving across a bridge and jolted violently.
"Ahh
Zhao Ji's exclamation pulled Su Can back from his contemplation to reality. Su Can was also shocked by his call, and he turned his head and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I ......" Zhao Ji sat up, his left hand clenched into a fist on his chest, his chest rose and fell in fright, and he could hear his snorting and panting, but he woke up from drunkenness, and his state was still drunk and unconscious, he pointed the back of the coachman's head with one hand, and said intermittently, "You...... You turn around. I dreamed of you, I just saw you in a dream. Did I see you last night?"
The driver was driving, and his head hadn't had time to turn back. Zhao Ji raised his voice and shouted angrily, "You turn around!"
"It's dangerous to turn around now. Don't worry. Su Can raised his head and said to the coachman, "You can stop next to it, it's almost to the palace anyway." ”
"Out of the way, out of the way. The coachman laughed, "I'll take you to the agreed place." Also, there is nothing in this place, so it doesn't prevent me from driving...... Since the little prince wants to see it, then I might as well be respectful. ”
The carriage galloped forward, and the coachman looked back at Zhao Ji. The strip of cloth covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the look of these eyes was extremely crazy and familiar—for Zhao Ji. Just this glance made Zhao Ji tremble unconsciously.
"You, you-" Zhao Ji's voice trembled, "You knock these down, I want to see your face!"
Although Su Can didn't know what was going on, he always felt that things were a little serious, so he reached behind his waist and touched the knife. The knife was cold to the bone.
The coachman sighed and said with a smile: "The little prince said so, and I had to do it too." I have a wound on my face, and if it scares the two of you, please don't blame it. ”
"Less nonsense. Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, and his voice was unquestionable, "Hurry up." "It was rare for him to be sharp in this drunkenness, which was very rare, because he wanted to see the coachman's face. He watched the coachman pull the scarf off his face, and when he pulled it, there was a sticky sound of flesh and skin separation, which made people feel cold; Su Can was even more alert, his eyes looked over like a knife, and when the coachman completely revealed his whole face, his eye knife stopped.
There was no need for a knife cut, because there were knife marks on his face, and from the left side of his forehead to the right corner of his mouth, the whole face was cut in half, and when he spoke, the whole face was distorted, and the scar stretched out, revealing a bright red inside—
This is a face that Zhao Ji is very familiar with, it is the first nightmare he encountered last night, the killing machine that emerged from the water, the first person who wanted to kill him!
"It's you...... Sure enough, it's you. Zhao Ji muttered, "Water spider, aren't you dead......?
Su Can also knew who the water spider was, and he was even more shocked when he heard Zhao Ji's words. He drew his dagger from behind his back, ready to strike. And the cart is still moving, the horse is running fast, the surrounding scenery is rapidly receding, in fact, this moving cart is a small, inviolable universe, even if there are people around to help, it is difficult to break through easily. Damn it.
However, the coachman laughed, he smiled innocently, and said, "Little prince, what are you talking about, are you having a nightmare, I don't recognize you at all......"
Zhao Ji roared: "I remember you! This scar, this look...... Even if you burn to ashes, I know you, you died yesterday!"
He shuddered, and looked down at his legs, and he remembered that the water spider had no legs, only the lower half of its body, made of steel and iron cables, and had been immersed in the water for many years—ah, he really had no legs, and the wind blew his trousers empty, and only two steel bars were left in the saddle with his boots attached.
"Oh my God. Water spider, how can it be ......" Zhao Ji muttered, fear spreading, he couldn't even guarantee that he could speak fluently and completely, and Su Can was already ready to make a move. He slowly stood up, looked at the coachman, held the sword in his right hand, and leaned back, ready to draw out the moon in the nine heavens, and the result of a knife was him-after all, he was with the imperial weapon Su Can, and it was more than enough to deal with a water spider.
The coachman smiled weakly at the moment: "Little prince, you seem to be really drunk." Did you get drunk yesterday, I don't know. But whether you're drunk or not today, I know for sure. So, even if you think you're having a nightmare, I think it's more believable that you're dreaming at this moment. ”
"Come on, just your ugly face with flowers, no matter how innocent your eyes are, they will scare people to death, and they are not convincing at all. Su Can gritted his teeth and sneered, "However, I am at the behest of His Royal Highness King Duan." If His Royal Highness King Duan thinks that you are a dangerous person, I don't care if he is drunk or not, and I don't care what he thinks. As long as he gives the order, I will kill him. ”
The carriage shook again, and the three people in the car collectively shook again, Zhao Ji was so frightened that he almost turned his back on his breath, patted his chest to make his breathing easier, and the remaining two were unfazed, after all, they were also veterans of the rivers and lakes, and the more stormy the waves, the more they had to calm down, or-
The coachman turned his head, pulled the reins, and with a whoop, turned the horse's head in the direction of the horse, and the carriage turned around and sped away, turning and passing by a big rock, so as not to break the carriage, and he laughed and sighed: "Hey, no matter how smart the horse is, it is still an animal in the end, and it will still be panicked when it takes a strange road......
The coachman did not have the panic of "being recognized" at all, nor did he have the consciousness to face the battle. He seemed to just pick up and cooperate with Zhao Ji to make a terrible joke, but the essential work is more important, he can do an excellent play, but he must first drive this car and deliver them to their destination safely. Hey?
- Could it be that he looks exactly the same as the "water spider" that Zhao Ji said, just a coincidence?
Zhao Ji was still so nervous that every hair on his body almost stood up. He is like a frightened little beast, the slightest stimulation will make him explode - however, he lacks the ability to attack, and there is a high probability that he will lose consciousness and fall to the ground and pretend to be dead, putting himself in an even more dangerous situation. This is what Su Can is worried about.
But what Su Can is more concerned about is not this for the time being.
Su Can asked the coachman tentatively, "Aren't you a water spider?" He stared at the back of the coachman's head, and in the cold wind, it seemed that the round head was constantly trembling.
Zhao Ji jumped up first to argue, and roared angrily: "Why is he not? His face, I remember clearly, is the face of the water spider, the position of the scar is exactly the same, and it is exactly the same when he laughs, it is him, I will not be mistaken, he is the water spider——"
As Zhao Ji spoke, Su Can heard a strange creaking sound, as if something had burst and recombined, growing and reshaping little by little. He searched alertly in the direction from which the sound had come from, and found that it was the coachman himself, from the front of him, which they could not see, and his face seemed to be changing.
The carriage continued, and Su Can's sword stabbed into the back of the saddle. He stared at the coachman's face, watching him turn his head little by little.
The scar from the left forehead to the right corner of the mouth seems to have disappeared.
Even the contours of his face, and even the color of his complexion, changed.
The sound gradually stopped. The sound is gone. The coachman turned his head again.
- The face of the flying ray. The flying dragon was smiling, his inhuman-shaped face and skin split into flowers, like the crimson gills of a fresh fish, one by one, one by one.
"People from the Huayang Sect ......" Su Can said slowly, "You are from the Huayang Sect, right?"
Zhao Ji trembled and said, "Master, Master......"
No, it won't. He watched his master die in front of him, and at the moment he was smiling back at himself - it was really murderous, and it was terrifying beyond words.
Su Can jumped up at this time, directly drew his sword and jumped over, shouting angrily: "You don't pretend to be a ghost here!" I don't know about the water spider, but the flying dragon will never step out of the prison!"
Zhao Ji glanced at him, paused slightly, and became drowsy and fragile because of the double stimulation of alcohol and spirit, he held his head, shook his head desperately, and said, "Was I dreaming yesterday...... I had a long, long dream? How could there be, how could there be such a painful dream?"
"Hey, ......" Su Can said, "Wake up, His Royal Highness Duan Wang!" he slashed his sword, and the coachman smiled and leaned to the side, and the sword stabbed into the air.
Su Can was stunned for a moment and said, "How is it possible? My attack will never be skewed." ”
"Yes, how is it possible? How could it be, so many impossible things have happened? In the dream, everything is tilted, and when you look at it, it seems to appear here, but you try to catch it, but you can't catch it, it's an illusory butterfly, it's a mirror...... "The coachman dodged Su Can's attacks several times again, looked at him unhurriedly, and smiled, "Maybe it's because you're dreaming now." ”
Su Can frowned and said, "Impossible, it stands to reason that Mingxin's ability has not fully recovered, and I haven't looked at her eyes, how can I fall into a dream?"
The coachman looked at him for a while, laughed, and said, "Narutoko, you know that child, she's different from us, she's much scary." You've fought with her? Sure enough, you've been hit a lot, are you treating me as part of a dream? No, no, I'm real, it's just that the 'me' you see is hallucinated, and this kind of hallucination is generated by Lu Shihagi under His Royal Highness King Shen, do you recognize it?"
Su Can shook his head.
At this moment, the coachman's face opened and closed like a mussel, changing from a human face to a ghost face, constantly changing, extremely terrifying and bizarre.
"What kind of demons and monsters are you......" Su Can said, "What is your purpose?"
"Purpose?" the coachman laughed, "isn't the purpose to send you to the palace? I'm just a coachman, why are you afraid of being like this? I'm afraid now, how are you going to face us after that—just disarm and surrender, just like your wretched emperor?"
He laughed, which aroused Su Can's anger even more. The killer rarely has words, and he has been in a silent environment for a long time, and it is annoying for others to say half a word more, let alone such provocative words. Su Can straightened up and swung his sword to cut off his head, he threw the sword so hard that it suddenly fell like a falling mountain, but it still couldn't be touched. It was only at this moment of pause that Su Can suddenly subconsciously retreated, turning his head - sure enough, the coachman only left the afterimage and the carriage, and he himself was rushing in the direction of Zhao Ji.
"Hey, you!" Su Can said, "Be careful!"
He didn't expect Zhao Ji to respond to him and said, "I know!"
And Zhao Ji's reaction was faster than he imagined, and much faster, he leaned against the seat, and a strange python turned over, and directly rolled out of the car, under the wheels, within two wheels;
Su Can heard the sound of the sword piercing into the skin, passing through the muscles, picking at the tendons and veins, and reaching the bones. Ah, feel refreshed, long time no see, restart, with a sword. It was better to use a sword than to use something else, and the illusion would inflate the coachman. Expansion creates flaws. Su Can's sword continued to stab inward, opening all the way up along his backbone, and the tendons and veins were as distinct as a cow.
"Thank you for giving us a ride. Su Can raised his sword up, "But don't hurt His Royal Highness King Duan." ”
He heard a crisp snapping string sound, boom.
If the muscles and veins are all broken, they will become wasted.
The next moment, Su Can jumped out of the car, the horse was frightened and ran around, running to the gate of the palace a hundred meters away, several guards shouted, "What's the matter? Stop it!" while releasing the arrow, only a few swishing sounds were heard, and the horse neighed and fell to the ground.
Trespassers will be killed.
Whether it is the innermost or the outermost part of the palace, at the "boundary", this rule is the supreme truth, which precedes all commands.
Su Can ran back to find Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was dusting off the snow on his body, his face was red and white for a while, and when he saw Su Can coming, he grinned.
Su Can walked over, patted the snow on his clothes on his shoulder, and said, "Winter is such a benefit, there is snow all over the ground, no matter how you fall, it will be fine, no wonder it is called Ruixue Zhaofeng Nian...... Rolling in the snow is cool enough to clear your mind. So now, have you woken up, Your Highness Duanwang?"
Zhao Ji said: "Why are you awake or not, I said it, I have my own measure......" As soon as he spoke, he was still drunk, but Su Can was relieved and said, "I really don't understand you, why do you have to pretend to me?"
"What?" Zhao Ji looked at him with a confused expression, and suddenly a burning sensation surged up from his stomach to his throat, and he leaned down suddenly, shrugged his shoulders, but only retched.
Su Can patted him on the back and said, "The mood swings are too great, and it's normal that you can't spit it out...... I hope you can't spit it out, too. I hope you can't speak, just like now. Let's go, Your Royal Highness Duanwang, walk a hundred and ten steps further, and we will reach the palace. ”
When Su Can was about to go inside with Zhao Ji, the guards on both sides of the door collided their guns, blocked the way with a ding, and said fiercely: "Who is it?"
Su Can looked up with a wry smile and said, "Ah, do I still need to report my identity when I go in? If you don't know me, then what's the use of me reporting my name?"
"We will report back to Father-in-law Tong layer by layer, and he will decide whether to let people in. Report your name, don't challenge the authority of the palace!"
"There are still such regulations?" Su Can sneered, "I've been in the palace for so many years, but I didn't know that I had to start reporting from you people when I went in." Okay, please go directly to Gonggong Tong and say that my name is Su Can, and he will understand. ”
"What's the use of just signing up?
"With imperial equipment. Su Cansheng had nothing to love, "The guards beside the emperor." ”
"You wait, if it's a fake identity, take you and ask!"
"Okay. Su Can said, "I'll wait, but I don't have much time to give you." You need to hurry. ”
"We're going to ask for instructions layer by layer. ”
Zhao Ji had already laughed and said, "It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!"
Zhao Ji smiled very cutely, and his white teeth made him look very harmless. Harmless ridicule hurts, Su Can thought to himself.
But Zhao Ji was not spared, he was only halfway through the laugh, and he was asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Ji rolled his eyes and said, "I, I'm his younger brother, and it was Master Tong who specially called me and Su Guards to come together." ”
"You are bold, you dare to lie to us! There is already a rule in the palace that the common people are not allowed to enter and leave the palace, so where can you be full of nonsense, saying that Master Tong summoned you to the palace? You said Lord Tong, right? I'm going to tell Master Tong and let him punish you!"
A guard angrily went in to find someone.
Su Can wrapped his arms and said, "You still have to pay attention." ”
"Since the normal procedure doesn't work, and you don't want to wait, you can do the opposite. Zhao Ji bowed his head and said, "Look, isn't this coming?"
- The person who came was Tong Guan.
The guards jumped up and down beside him and complained angrily, and when they saw Zhao Ji, they pointed at him excitedly.
However, when Tong Guan saw Zhao Ji, he was startled at first, and then hurriedly saluted and said, "His Royal Highness King Duan—— you are back." Hurry, hurry, please come in. The Queen Mother is waiting for you. Ah, Su Guard, you've worked hard too. ”
The little guard beside him was stunned, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Little one...... The little ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and the little ones deserve death!"
Zhao Ji ignored him, but asked suspiciously, "Father-in-law Tong, are you serious?"
"Really. Tong Guan nodded and said, "The Queen Mother has been looking forward to your return, His Royal Highness King Duan." ”
Zhao Ji was in a daze, Su Can took the first step and said with a smile: "That's better, avoid the trouble of reporting." We want to see the Queen Mother, right now. ”
- Su Can's simple and simple purpose reminded Zhao Ji that when he had just escaped from the prison, he insisted on going home to see Wang Liefeng.
- Could something really happen to Hatsuri?
— but he didn't have time to take care of that.
