Shang Wuchen was slightly stunned, and then said, "No!" He must be busy right now! By the way, you don't know he's the owner of the cyclamen, right? And he is the messenger of King Kang and King Hailing. ”

Xia Chen sighed: "I know! At first, I was just suspicious, but when I saw Red Kite and the woman in black, I was sure that he was the owner of the cyclamen. And I knew that he had a great relationship with King Kang, and I also knew that he was very privileged in Xuanguo, I thought that he had bribed the magnates of Xuanguo, but I didn't think that his backer here was King Hailing, and I didn't expect that King Kang not only had ambitions, but also did such a shameful thing as secretly communicating with the enemy country. After that, she looked at Shang Wuchen: "How do you know?" ”

Shang Wuchen smiled bitterly: "Although the ultimate goal is different, I used to want to do something similar to them, so I ......"

Xia Chen already understood when he heard this: "Is this a gathering of likes!" ”

"Sort of, it's just that I haven't figured out how to take revenge from beginning to end, but Man Lou knows very well what he wants."

Xia Chen continued: "Everyone has their own ambitions, he is already rich but still wants to be an official, and he wants those who look down on him to kneel at his feet one day." ”

"So you know him so well."

"I don't know!" Xia Chen secretly thought in his heart that people often don't even understand themselves, so how can they understand others. Although she knew what the purpose of what Hua Manlou did, she couldn't understand why he tested the poison for himself, and blocked those secret weapons for himself, if he liked himself, why did he drug himself several times.

The moon is pale and the stars are scarce, and the sky is slightly white. The two rushed all night, and came to a county town at dawn to find a restaurant to eat and rest.

Xia Chen took a bite of noodle soup: "Master Shang, why were all the guards in the city pass bought by you all the way?" ”

"How can you say that you are bought! The hearts of the people want. ”

Xia Chen raised his eyes and looked at him: "I don't think King Ge is simple." He refused to leave in the first place, it turned out to be ......"

Shang Wuchen interrupted her: "It's a big mistake for you to think so, you have no intention of being a responsible man, although these are never what he wants, but he can definitely abandon a qiē for you." ”

"And he...... Why, exactly? Xia Chen suddenly felt a little tasty, but it also made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Shang Wuchen looked at her deeply: "I now begin to wonder if you have cultivated a hard-hearted heart in the past two years, or you are eating taste, so you will think that you are unintentionally a person who strives for power and profit!" As he spoke, he leaned forward: "He is so completely for you, so that you can live a truly free and happy life in this world." ”

"I'm doing well now." Xia Chen was obviously lacking in confidence when he said this.

"Is it really good? Or do you like to hide all day in hiding? Shang Wuchen chuckled.

Overheard someone talking about the state of the war. They no longer talk and eat and listen. Listening to these people, they are all lamenting that they did not participate in the war and did not receive this war money.

Shang Wuchen snorted: "Burn, kill and loot!" The people of the Great Cloud Country are going to suffer again. ”

Xia Chen stood up: "Let's continue on our way." ”

"I know you're in a hurry to go back to Qingzhou to have a look, but do you dare to tell me how long you haven't slept yet?"

Xia Chen ignored him and walked out. She felt that she had delayed too much time, and at this time it was time not to delay a minute or a second, she just wished that she could not grow wings and fly back!

"No need to look for it." Shang Wuchen threw a silver ingot to the guy and chased after him.

After two more days of traveling, the two arrived outside the gate of Xuandu City. Shang Wuchen said: "I can't take you in directly here." ”

"What! You're not kidding. Where you need your help the most, you sue me and I can't help it? ”

Shang Wuchen said: "If you don't meet me, how are you going to go?" Kill or fly! ”

"Shang Wuchen! I'm going crazy. You're still talking cool things there! ”

Shang Wuchen pursed his lips: "It's quite difficult for me to go in and out of Kyoto by myself, I really can't help it here, at least not now." ”

Xia Chen took a deep breath: "When will it be there?" ”

Shang Wuchen looked up at the sky: "Go to a place with me first." ”

Xia Chen looked at Jingyue Nunnery in front of him and said suspiciously, "Why are you here?" ”

Shang Wuchen blinked: "If you shave your hair and dress you up as a nun, it will be much easier to enter the city." ”

Xia Chen lifted his veil and glared at Shang Wuchen: "Is there a more rancid idea than this?" ”

Shang Wuchen smiled: "Even if you are willing, I have to stop it, otherwise I have to cut me by unintentionally." He laughed and knocked on the door.

Xia Chen bit his lip and scolded secretly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you become so bad." ”

Just as he was thinking that the door of the nunnery was pushed open, Zi Mo rushed out of the door and hugged Shang Wuchen's neck, and the whole person hung on him: "Brother Wuchen." Why have you been here for so long this time, I've been waiting for you here for three days. People want to kill you! How about there is no Chen ......" Speaking of this, she suddenly saw Xia Chen, pushed Shang Wuchen away, and rushed over with a big hug: "Sister Chen, you are back." ”

Xia Chen seemed to understand a little bit why Shang Wuchen looked different, because Zi Mo, a ghost spirit, had been with him all the time, but although Shang Wuchen's eyes were warm when he looked at Zi Mo, they were not as fiery as Zi Mo looked at him, more like his brother looking at his sister.

Shang Wuchen crossed his arms around his chest: "Zimo, we have been on the road for a few days day and night, let's eat something and rest first." ”

Zi Mo took Xia Chen's hand and walked inside, saying, "Sister Chen, the food here is delicious. ”

Coming to an empty meditation room in the backyard, Shang Wuchen said: "I'll go see Mrs. Jingning, and by the way, ask someone to make some vegetarian food." ”

After Shang Wuchen left, Zi Mo began to chatter about some of the things that had happened in the Xuan Kingdom in the past two years, especially in the palace, and Xia Chen had also heard a little about many things.

After a while, someone brought a meal, and as soon as the person who delivered the meal left, Zi Mo was about to continue, but Xia Chen hurriedly interrupted her: "Mo'er, if you continue to talk like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it for three days and three nights, let's eat first." ”

Zi Mo said embarrassedly: "People haven't seen Sister Chen for too long, so naturally they have a lot to say." Besides, Sister Chen doesn't want to know this? ”

Xia Chen hesitated for a moment: "What happened to Wu Juan'er?" ”

Zi Mo sighed: "She is still in the cold palace, but Sister Chen can rest assured, Brother Yong asked me to take care of the palace people." Although life was harder, there was no bullying. ”

"King Ge has a heart."

Shang Wuchen nodded: "He knows the people you care about, and he has arranged the two Cen Shaoze brothers well." ”

Zi Mo lowered his voice and said, "Seven days ago, King Hai ordered Brother Yong to bring five thousand soldiers and horses to Beiyan Pass to join him. ”

Shang Wuchen said in surprise: "Why is he suddenly willing to lead the troops unintentionally?" ”

Xia Chen thought for a while: "What is 5,000 soldiers and horses, he is most worried about King Ge, so he has to put King Ge under his nose to watch it when he drives the expedition in person." ”

After eating fast, Xia Chen asked, "Master Shang, when are we going to enter the city?" ”

Shang Wuchen pondered for a moment: "I wanted you to rest for a while, it's just that!" As he spoke, he looked at Zi Mo: "It's up to you." ”

Zi Mo smiled knowingly: "Leave it to me." ”

Xia Chen looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but be in a dream.

Zi Mo said: "Sister Chen." My mana can last for half a month, so don't worry. ”

Xia Chen smiled faintly: "Half a moon is enough, it's better than me climbing the city wall." ”

It was just after noon. Xia Chen and Shang Wuchen hurried through Xuandu and continued to hurry. With the help of Zi Mo's face change technique, she changed into women's clothes again, and then she didn't encounter any trouble when she crossed the city pass.

However, when he arrived in Dongping on the third day, Xia Chen finally lost his body. Shang Wuchen was also exhausted. Xia Chen thought that the mountain road would be difficult to walk next, so he decided to find an inn to rest for half a day.

I don't want her to sleep until three o'clock the next day. She hurriedly washed up and knocked on Shang Wuchen's door. Seeing Shang Wuchen's sleepy eyes, he said, "Thank you for this journey, and I will leave here." ”

Shang Wuchen immediately shook his head: "I'll go with you, I also have something to go to Dayun, you go downstairs first and ask someone to prepare water and dry food, and I'll wash my face and come." ”

The two of them walked in the canyon of Yuding Mountain, and this canyon did not lead directly to the big clouds, and there were two mountains in the middle. Fortunately, it was not yet the rainy season, and the roads in the canyon were not completely covered by the river.

Five days later, they finally walked out of the mountain range and arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou, both of them were already ragged and dusty. Xia Chen looked at the meadow in front of her where she used to run to play when she was a child. At this time, the grass and trees were fine and the green waves were rolling, and her eyes were a little sour when she looked at her.

After washing her hands and face by the river, Xia Chen took Shang Wuchen and walked in a direction she was familiar with. Because the horses stayed in Dongping, they had to walk, and they walked for almost a whole day when they walked to a place where there was a village.

The sunset is dark and clear, and the mountains and greenery are bright and clear to each other. The village in the vast twilight was a dilapidated scene, Xia Chen ran quickly to the entrance of the village and looked inside, and his heart suddenly sank. The house collapsed, the wall was broken, and the sound of chickens and dogs was not heard, only the occasional chirping of crows and birds.

Shang Wuchen followed, and when he saw Xia Chen's pale face and sad eyes, he hurriedly said, "Xu is difficult to go." ”

When Xia Chen heard this, she came back to her senses and ran to the village, and after only looking at a few households, she couldn't help but scream anymore: "They still have no humanity!" "The corpses in the yard have not yet decomposed, most of them are old people and children, none of them have been stabbed in their bodies, and their limbs and intestines are flowing all over the ground, some of the corpses have been pecked by crows to expose the white bones, and there is a baby whose head has been cut off in half, which is shocking.

Shang Wuchen's face also turned pale: "Chen'er, let's go." ”

Xia Chen said in a trembling voice: "I want to go back to my grandmother's house to have a look." So saying, he staggered out of the village and headed south along the road.

In the middle of the night, I finally arrived at Zhaojia Village, and the old elm trees at the head of the village were still flourishing, and the leaves were rustling in the wind. Xia Chen walked towards the village with trepidation, the same silence and desolation.

She went straight to her grandmother's house, and when she found that the mansion had been burned to the ground, she looked around and then rushed to the pile of ashes and dug it up like crazy.

Shang Wuchen stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "Chen'er, calm down, it's impossible for anyone to survive here!" ”

Xia Chen's fingertips were bleeding, but she didn't feel any pain at all, because her heart hurt even more. She looked at the mess in front of her in a daze, and tears burst out of her eyes.

Shang Wuchen said softly: "Let's go." ”

"Go away!" Xia Chen pushed him away and continued to dig up!

Shang Wuchen pulled her up and hugged her in his arms: "It's useless!" ”

Xia Chen struggled for a while, buried his face in his chest, and cried bitterly. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I knew that the King of Hai Ling would attack Dayun one day, I should have let them get out of here!"

Shang Wuchen didn't know how to persuade her, so he only stroked her back silently.

The sky was slightly white, Xia Chen was finally tired of crying, and she was really tired, and fell asleep when she was half confused in Shang Wuchen's arms.

Shang Wuchen was extremely tired, and his body was not as good as Xia Chen, who had the Qingluan soul protection. He bit his lip and held on to prevent himself from falling, and he felt more distressed by Xia Chen than the physical pain.

As the moon set and the sun rose, Xia Chen was awakened by a few birdsongs, and realized that the Qiē in front of her was not a nightmare, and her heart throbbed again. Scenes from the past came to mind, how many mornings she woke up happily to the singing of birds, and how many nights she came home at the call of her uncle, and then she saw the kind smiling faces of her grandmother and grandfather, and the little aunt did not forget to fight with her while fetching water and washing her face, and the eldest aunt always smiled gently......

Now they're gone, and she's never to see them anymore! Her heart was suddenly enveloped by loneliness and fear, and she couldn't help but shiver a few times in a row. Although she has been adrift all these years, she always feels that she still has a home, but at this time she has completely become a person!

"You, awake?"

Xia Chen listened to Shang Wuchen's voice and was extremely weak, so he looked up at him. Through the mist of tears, his face was as white as a piece of paper, his lips were chapped and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot but he had no look. "What's wrong with you?"

"You're fine, I'll be, I'll be fine." Shang Wuchen said and fell straight back.

Xia Chen held his fallen body, found that the other person had fainted, sat on the ground and put his head on his lap, and then took out a bag of water and dripped it into his lips little by little...... Looking at his handsome face and haggard, she suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.

She found that the relationship between herself and Shang Wuchen was difficult to explain, that is, she was neither an enemy nor a friend, but she was always entangled in grievances, and when she thought about it, her life seemed to have changed since she knew him.

In fact, she had long figured out that she couldn't blame him for her amnesia, and without him, there would be others, it could only be said that it was a mistake or fate. And he's been protecting himself for whatever reason, he doesn't have to do it at all.

Dustless boy! Splendid Son, Fengyue Son, Sharplance Son, the four young sons who became famous in the Great Cloud Kingdom in the past have more or less something to do with themselves, and now their lives have also changed a lot.

What about yourself? No matter how much he looks or what he was in the first place, he is no longer what he was at the beginning. Time has passed, but the wind and the moon are still the same, the sea flows forever, and in the long river of history, only people are the easiest and absolutely impossible to escape change. (To be continued......)
