Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Iron Gate
The moment Xiao Zichen saw him, his slightly furrowed eyebrows immediately stretched, and he took a few quick steps under his feet and said, "Brother Chen, are you okay?" ”
"What can I do?" Xiao Zichen's words made Chen Yichen stunned.
"I heard that Brother Chen was assassinated last night. Xiao Zichen looked him up and down and said, "It's okay if you're fine." ”
"A few little thieves, they can't do anything to me. Listening to his words, I was relieved that I had at least one friend in Kyoto. After thinking about it again, he was instantly alert, but he pretended to be casual and said, "How did Brother Zichen know that someone was going to kill me last night?"
"I went to Jingzhao Mansion early this morning, and they said that you had left yesterday. A man named Ding Qi told me you were here. Xiao Zichen looked sideways at the abandoned door, frowned slightly, and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Chen would deign to be here, and I blame him for ignoring the situation of his benefactor and not inviting his benefactor to sit at home. ”
"Do you know Ding Qi?" Chen Yichen saw that he was sincere, but it made him a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm very good here, Brother Zichen doesn't need to mind." ”
"I don't know each other, I've seen it a few times. He told me what happened last night, otherwise he really didn't know where to look for Brother Chen. ”
"What's the matter with me?"
"I have long wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion to visit Brother Chen, but Jingzhao Mansion is not an ordinary yamen. In order to visit Brother Chen, I tried my best to find some relationships, but I didn't expect to get there today to learn that Brother Chen had left yesterday. I was worried that something would happen again, so I hurried here. Speaking of this, Xiao Zichen handed over the food box and said, "I'm worried that Brother Yi Chen won't be able to eat well in Jingzhao Mansion, so I specially prepared some food for you." ”
"Thank you. Chen Yichen glanced at it and said, "I'm afraid I won't need it now, I'm going to leave Kyoto." ”
"It works, it works. Fei Wu suddenly jumped out and took the food box.
"Leave Kyoto? Isn't Brother Chen avenging Miss Wan'er?Let the three princes get away with it?" Xiao Zichen frowned, ignored Fei Wu, and continued: "That's right, there are people in Kyoto who want to assassinate, it can be seen that Xiao Mingxu's power is so great, how can you and I be able to compete with it." It's okay like this, Miss Wan'er was tragically poisoned by him, and Brother Chen couldn't lose his life anymore. ”
"We may have been taken advantage of, a series of things are not what Xiao Mingxu said, he was also framed. ”
"What?" Xiao Zichen looked shocked, his eyes widened and he asked, "What the hell is going on?"
To make a long story short, Chen Yichen roughly explained the reason from beginning to end, and the part that should be omitted was naturally omitted, so that he knew that it was not necessary at all.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. Xiao Zichen looked shocked, nodded, and said, "Brother Yi Chen wants to go to the Iron Blood Gate to find clues, but it is also a way, but the road is far away, I am afraid that there will be a threat if you go alone." Why don't you let the two of them accompany you on your journey, so that you can be taken care of. ”
"I appreciate Brother Zichen's kindness, but it's still unassuming on the road. ”
"It's okay, since Brother Yi Chen has concerns, I won't force it anymore. Xiao Zichen nodded, sighed faintly, and said, "It's just that the road is far away, and Brother Chen must cherish it." Miss Wan'er has not avenged her revenge, you must be careful, there can be no mistakes. I have sent people everywhere to look for the traces of the girl, to see people alive and corpses to death. ”
His words warmed Chen Yichen's heart, it was a meeting in Pingshui, and he saved his life by mistake. I can't imagine that he cares so much about his own affairs. Gratitude arose, and he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Zichen." ”
"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. I hope that when Brother Chen returns to Kyoto, I can find out the whereabouts of Miss Wan'er. ”
Chen Yichen naturally knew that Xiao Zichen was just comforting himself, and deep down he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart again.
"Driving the ......" Fei Wu pulled the reins, drove the carriage, and after leaving Kyoto, he completely played the role of a groom. I saw him turn his head and say to the people in the car: "I didn't expect you to be a young man, and I know a lot of powerful people." ”
Chen Yichen sat in the car, sorting out the clothes he had just changed, and he was really uncomfortable. Although the suit was torn and could not be torn again, I didn't feel anything wrong when I wore it.
For more than 20 days, when Chen Yichen felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, the car suddenly stopped.
Fei Wu gently lifted the curtain and said, "Boy, it's time to get out of the car." ”
"Where is this?" Chen Yichen poked his head out, the unfamiliar environment in front of him made him frown, where is this in the wilderness.
"It's time to go our separate ways. Fei Wu jumped out of the car, pointed to a small road, and said, "You go from here, all the way to the west, and you can reach the Iron Blood Gate in about three or five days." ”
"What about you?" Chen Yichen let out a long sigh, finally arriving at the end of the day.
"You can't go where I'm going, it's dangerous. Fei Wu looked at him with a deep face, and said, "If there is a fate in the future, we will meet again." ”
Chen Yi Chen was stunned, after knowing him, it was the first time I saw him so serious. Presumably, the place he is going to is also very dangerous.
"Then take care. "The parting is imminent, and I don't know what to say to Fei Wu.
"Hey, kid, it's you who need to take care. Fei Wu said with a serious face: "After all, the Iron Blood Gate is a first-class sect in the rivers and lakes, and it can be regarded as the mainstream in the Holy Domain. ”
"But what's the best plan?" Chen Yichen really didn't think of this.
Fei Wu stretched out two fingers and subconsciously took out two ingots of gold from his arms.
"What are you doing?" Fei Wu saw that the gold was also flustered, and said, "There are two ways. ”
"First, endure the humiliation and burden, go to the Iron Blood Gate to learn the arts, and use three or five years of time, you will definitely be able to find out what you want to know. ”
"Impossible, I don't share the sky with the Iron Blood Gate, I can't tear them to pieces in an instant, how can I wait for three or five years. Chen Yichen refused, the people of the Iron Blood Gate were only one of the enemies, and it was more important to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Second, as far as I know, the back mountain of the Iron Blood Gate is unguarded, and it may be possible to sneak into the Iron Blood Gate from the back mountain, but the mountain is a bit steep. ”
"Back mountain?" Chen Yichen has been with the mountains since he was a child, and he has never seen many steep mountains, and no matter how rugged the mountain road is, he can easily deal with it.
"Take it. As he spoke, Fei Wu snatched the gold from his hand and said, "Hehe, this money will be kept for you for the time being, and he will definitely return it when he meets in the future." ”
"Driving"
With Fei Wu's soft shout, he immediately drove away.
Will we see each other again one day, hopefully? Chen Yichen thought secretly. Turning to look at the long path, there was a thorn in his eyes.
Five days later, Chen Yichen came to Qishan as he wished, and when he stood on the back mountain of the Iron Blood Gate, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't help cursing a few words to Fei Wu in his heart.
Qishan Mountain was originally tall and towering, and the Iron Blood Gate was established here, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was indeed a good choice. And the mountain behind the Iron Blood Gate does not need to be guarded at all, it is not so much a mountain as a cliff.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Chen Yichen's head was big. If you want to enter from the back mountain, the only option is to climb up the cliff.
"Fei Wu, waste, you didn't show me a clear road, you showed me a Huangquan Road. ”
