Effortlessly pulled out the short sword, Chen Yichen was stunned. This time, I was completely convinced.

Don't look at it as long as an inch, it's really a good sword. This is his heartfelt sigh. His hands seemed to be holding a treasure, and he stared at it with wide eyes, eager to get into it.

I looked and looked, and looked, and there was a long time for a stick of incense, and then I nodded suddenly and said to myself: "So that's the case, it's really magical." ”

Although the dagger is only one foot, it is extremely delicate. Both the blade and the hilt of the sword are very similar at first glance, and they are all decorated with ripples that resemble fish scales, which greatly increases the frictional resistance. It's not that this sword is bladeless, it's just that the so-called blade is composed of extremely fine fish scale ripples, densely packed and countless, and if you don't look closely, you can't tell them apart.

"Good sword, really good sword. After understanding the structure of the short sword, Chen Yichen was sincerely amazed, and he couldn't wait to call up the sleeping Wan'er to appreciate it.

Turning his mind and frowning again, this short sword was given by a person named Hua Rongxiang. I had never heard of this name, and I was still questioning at the time whether he was the wrong person. Now it seems that such a sharp blade, easily sent, I am afraid that I really mistake myself for someone else. What if he meets again one day and wants to go back?

The world is so big, and it may not be encountered again, so I'll keep it for now. If there really is such a day, do I admit it, or don't admit it? Hua Rongxiang shouldn't have seen my appearance clearly, otherwise how could he recognize the wrong person? Forget it, whether he admits his mistake or not, the things that were given away from people can no longer reach out and ask for them back.

The more Chen Yichen thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it. The only downside is that it's shorter, and it would be nice if it could be longer. After thinking about it again, it's good to be short, and it won't be discovered if it's hidden on your body. If it was really a long sword, and it looked so piercing, wouldn't it be a pity to be robbed by someone.

Yes, it's better to keep it short. Ugly is ugly, and if it is equipped with a good-looking scabbard, it seems to be good. Yes, you must have a scabbard, don't hurt yourself one day.

Just as he was thinking about it, he vaguely felt a dark shadow flash on the roof of the street opposite. This scene seems to have been seen somewhere. Chen Yichen was stunned, and another black shadow flashed.

Chen Yichen suddenly thought that he had seen this scene when he stayed in Liuhua Town at night, and his heart twitched. As the second black shadow leaped from the street, Chen Yichen subconsciously lowered his body, and he didn't dare to take a breath until the black shadow disappeared on the roof.

Look at the direction they are running in the inn. Chen Yichen tiptoed to the door, and through the only gap in the door, he saw that the two had quietly landed in the corridor.

Who is this? What is the so-called reason for coming here late at night? Could it be another secret agent? Chen Yichen's mind began to think quickly, and before he could find a suitable answer, he saw that the two of them had entered the room where he had stayed last night.

No, earlier, I saw Xiao Zichen enter the room with my own eyes, and I haven't seen him come out since then. I didn't see him when he left, could it be that these two people came to seek revenge on him?

Thinking that he had saved Xiao Zichen on the road, he felt that the latter would be more likely. But when I think about it, it seems a little unreasonable. If he really came to kill Xiao Zichen, how could he go in when the lights were on in the room?

The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, Chen Yichen looked back at the sleeping girl, and quietly pulled open half of the door. Hunched over slowly, heart pounding, just peeping into other people's rooms, can he be considered a thief, how can he be so excited?

In an instant, Chen Yichen really regarded himself as a Jianghu man who walked on the wall. In fact, his idea was simple, he just wanted to see what was going on in the room. If it is really Xiao Zichen's enemy who comes to take revenge, see if he can help a little, after all, he thinks Xiao Zichen is not bad.

Chen Yichen let out a long breath softly, although it was not far away, he felt that the road was extraordinarily long. I was thinking about it all the way, and if I was discovered, I would find peace and make a statement. But it was quite smooth, no one found themselves lurking outside the window for the time being, and the little heart that was beating wildly was slightly relieved.

The lights in the room were dim, and you could see the two people sitting opposite each other at the table, but they could never see their facial features clearly, and they could only vaguely see that the person opposite had a very long beard, dressed as an old man. The other person turned his back to the window, looking at his dress, it was the person who looked like Xiao Zichen, but now he couldn't see his face and couldn't make a judgment.

In addition to them, four other people stood behind each of them. Looking at the clothes of the two people behind the old man, Chen Yichen recognized that it was the two people who had stopped him. The other two, although they were facing away from Chen Yichen, it was not difficult to see that they were the two black-clothed people who came from the cornice.

Who are they? Is the person with his back to him Xiao Zichen? Just when Chen Yichen was thinking wildly, he only heard someone say: "Everything is according to the plan, my Yan State spy has successfully infiltrated the city, and what was attacked last night was just a bait used to attract the soldiers in the city." ”

"Okay, where are they?"

"It turned out to be him. As soon as the old man's words fell, Chen Yichen easily heard that the old man was the angry voice he heard earlier.

"They are temporarily hiding in the ruined temple in the east of the city, where there are few people and no one will find out, so you can rest assured. ”

"Are all the plans well arranged?" the old man lowered his voice and continued, "This matter must be done carefully. ”

"I came late at night to inform me of my plans. Tomorrow at three o'clock, a fire will be set to the east of the city to attract troops from the city. At the beginning of the ugly time, he would sneak into the west gate to attack the city gate guards, take the opportunity to open the city gate, and let the vanguard army of our Yan Kingdom enter the city. ”

When the old man heard this, he nodded, raised his hand to stroke his beard, and said, "Okay, after tomorrow night, Mocheng will be in our hands." ”

"There is one more thing, please ask the third prince of Da Chen to keep his covenant with my Yan Kingdom. One of the men in black said: "Yan Guo helped the third prince ascend to the throne, and then the fifteen cities southwest of Dachen were included in the territory of my Yan country. ”

"Rest assured. I saw that the person who was suspected of Xiao Zichen suddenly stood up, turned around slowly, and said: "It's just fifteen cities, I, Xiao Mingxu, don't take it in my eyes, just take it." ”

Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he was sure that it was not Xiao Zichen at this time. Hearing their conversation, Chen Yichen's heart trembled. Inside the house turned out to be the third prince of Da Chen Kingdom, Xiao Mingxu. The three princes of the dignified state actually colluded with the secret agents of the Yan State here, this is to plot a rebellion.

Chen Yichen broke out in a cold sweat, he thought that the ironclad Mocheng was safe, but he never thought that there had already been a secret agent colluding with the prince. If I hadn't overheard their conversation, I'm afraid I'd have died in the city of ink.

"What are the plans of the Yan army after entering the city?"

"After my vanguard army entered the city, I was dispatched by the three princes. ”

"How far is the Yan Pioneer Army from here?"

According to this, a hundred miles, tomorrow evening, the camp will be set up and rushed to Mocheng. Our army has already secretly lurked outside the west gate of the city, and when they see the fire in the city, they can launch a surprise attack, as long as things go well in the city, the army can easily enter the city. ”

"Good. The third prince, Xiao Mingxu, pondered for a moment and continued: "Capture the thief first and capture the king, and after entering the city, he will attack the general's mansion directly. Before dawn, you must control the city of Mocheng and guard the city gate strictly, and the news of the attack on the city must not leak out in the slightest. ”

"The third prince is really resourceful. After listening to the flattery of the man in black, he said, "After taking control of Mocheng, what is our next step?"

"After resting for a day, he ordered the sergeant to change into the Da Chen military uniform, disguised the defeated army of Mocheng, and rushed all the way to Kyoto, taking one city after passing through one city. ”

"Wonderful, what a clever plan, the third prince has such a strategy, I am afraid that in a few days he will be able to ascend to the throne and control Da Chen. The old man was deeply admired. The old man stood up slowly, not knowing whether it was admiration from the bottom of his heart or flattery, but after listening to him bow down, he continued: "I will rely on Your Majesty in the future. ”

"Hahaha. There is Wang Zhiyi's old-timers who have the iron and blood door to help, how can I not know. Old-timers, rest assured, when I ascend to the throne of God, you will definitely be the protector of Da Chen. ”

"So the old man thanked Your Majesty in advance. ”

"At this time, it is more appropriate to call me Your Highness. ”

"In the old man's heart, he has long regarded you as His Majesty. ”

"See Your Majesty. "The two people of the Iron Blood Gate did not dare to slack off at all when they saw the old man change his words to His Majesty.

"If you don't get anything done, you don't have to be polite. The third prince, Xiao Mingxu, motioned for everyone to get up and continued: "You two go back for the time being, and everything will be done according to the plan tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yichen hurriedly hunched over and stepped back, and just after reaching the corner of the corridor, he heard the door creak. I didn't have to think about it, so I lay on the ground. Turning his head sideways, he saw the two of them coming out of the room, raised his feet and jumped on the railing to borrow his strength, and the people swooped out, and finally disappeared into the night.

Seeing that the door was closed again, Chen Yichen tiptoed down the corridor and returned to the room. Carefully closed the door, and the whole person sat down on the ground in a normal way. The cold sweat on his body had already soaked his clothes, and his mouth was panting heavily, and his mind was full of conversation between them.

"Are you gone?" a deep voice came from behind the curtain.

"Gone. ”

"How is his martial arts?"

"Extremely clumsy. After a moment, he continued: "Or deliberately showing a flaw." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The old man heard that he had broken the railing of the bowl with a sword. ”

"He killed a Yan State spy last night, so what?"

"He has no internal strength, and he has no light work. ”

"How can you tell?" said a young man in the curtain walked out slowly, his chest straight.

"My feet are heavy, my breathing is chaotic, I am afraid that I only have brute strength, or I am suspicious of the short sword in my hand. ”

"What's the explanation for deliberately revealing flaws?"

"It's just speculation. ”

"Guess. It's kind of interesting. The young man waved his hand and said, "You three should stand down first." ”

The three of them nodded and left one after another, leaving only the young man and the old man.

I only heard the old man say, "Why do you want him to overhear this?"

"Report to the officer. ”

"He went to report to the official, a little hairy boy who has not dried up, who would believe that the third prince colluded with the secret agents of the Yan Kingdom?"

"He killed the Yan State agent last night. The young man leaned on the table, sat down slowly, and said, "If I hadn't told you, would you have believed it?"

"I see. The old man nodded, stroked his beard, and said, "How can you be sure that he will go to report to the official?"

A smile crossed the corner of the young man's mouth and he said, "He will definitely go." ”

"So you had a plan. ”

"Don't worry, what I promised you won't change, Da Chen's national teacher will be your iron-blooded sooner or later. ”

"What else?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, the head of the Iron Blood Gate is your first choice. The young man smiled, his eyes flashed on the old man's face, and said, "I really can't understand why you people in the rivers and lakes value a position of head so much. Isn't my Great Chen Guoshi as good as a leader?"

"The old man's ambition is in the rivers and lakes, not the court. "What the old man said is not wrong, how can the fun of the rivers and lakes be experienced by the people of the court.

"Okay, wait, it won't be long before your rivers and lakes will know that Wang Zhiyi took refuge with the three princes and colluded with Yan State spies. Do you think your master will kill him?"

"No, my brother's prestige is far greater than mine. This alone is afraid that it will be difficult to shake his position in this sect. ”

"Well, no one will believe it?"

"People may believe it, but people from this sect will not. ”

"It's simple, just say that you were injured here, and sent someone to invite him day and night, as long as you leave Qishan, it doesn't matter if he does these things or not. The young man was about to stretch his muscles and raise his arms to his chest when he saw him frown slightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's fine. Back pain. ”

"Hurt?"

"The bed was too hard and it was difficult to sleep. ”
