Chapter 198: Reason is still chaotic
Xia Chen suddenly heard Qingluan's voice coming intermittently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I've tried my best, but I can't ......"
Zi Mo had already pulled out the sword at his waist and covered his face with a silk scarf at the same time: "Sister Chen, I'll go and lead the guards away, you take the opportunity to get out of the city." ”
Xia Chen stretched out his hand to stop Zi Mo, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, you have to stay together, you have to go together." ”
"Sister Chen, I don't belong here, even if I die, it doesn't matter, besides, I'm just luring them away, although my mana is weak, but if I want to escape, I can't catch up with people like that."
Xia Chen secretly sighed that he was not living as embarrassed here, he knew that it was better to be a carefree knight today and not ask about the world, but now, ...... It's better to have unrequited love like in the previous life.
At this time, the soldiers defending the city had noticed Xia Chen's carriage coming over: "Who is in the carriage?" ”
The coachman said according to the explanation in advance: "The housewife and the young lady of the family are going to the nunnery outside the city to make incense." ”
The soldier said, "Open the door." ”
Xia Chen and Zi Mo glanced at each other, and rushed out together as soon as the car door opened. Zi Mo stabbed a soldier in the right shoulder, and Xia Chen knocked the other soldier unconscious with a direct blow from the back of his knife.
When the other soldiers saw this, they immediately surrounded her, Xia Chen's heart was extremely disturbed, as if a stuffy air in her chest exploded in an instant, and this stuffy air kept pouring into her mind, washing away all her reason, she showed no mercy every time she struck, and every time she swung a knife, there were deaths and injuries, which made Zi Mo on the side feel frightened.
With the light of swords, blood flowers, and white hair, the soldiers defending the city were frightened, and those who rushed ahead fought and retreated. Those who followed were either stunned or turned around and ran.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Close the city gate!" Don't let him run, or we'll all die!" ”
Shang Wuchen, who arrived later, also joined the battle. The square at the city gate screamed and shook the sky, corpses were everywhere, and between the swords and swords, Xia Chen's three people killed one and made up for another, killed a group and surrounded a group......
Half an hour passed, there were few hundred soldiers left at the city gate, and a cold wind blew with a strong smell of blood, Xia Chen calmed down and looked at this qiē and couldn't help but shiver.
Although she has killed many thieves and bandits over the years, these soldiers are only a duty. How many of them have wives and children in their homes, and she once became a murderous demon.
At this moment a group of men and horses rushed from the city, and when they reached a distance of five or six feet from where Xia Chen was, they lined up in two teams and drew their bows and arrows. The leader shouted, "I'll count to three." If you don't tie your hands and capture the general, you will order the arrows to be released. ”
Zi Mo retreated to Xia Chen's side and whispered, "Sister Chen, I'll stand in the way, you and Brother Wuchen go quickly." ”
Xia Chen muttered, "You go." I stay. "Maybe it's better to end here.
"Two!"
Shang Wuchen said: "Chen'er." It's all my fault, you take Mo'er away. ”
Just when the general was about to shout "three" before he could shout "release the arrow", another fast horse rushed over and shouted: "The emperor has an order to arrest him alive." ”
Shang Wuchen snorted coldly: "Kill me, but let me be a prisoner." ”
When Xia Chen heard this, he suddenly reacted, the person who King Hai Ling wanted to arrest was himself, and he should be the only one who wanted to keep his mouth alive. No matter what he was going to do to her, if Shang Wuchen and Zi Mo fell into his hands, it would definitely be a dead end. As we all know, Shang Wuchen and Ziyang are like King Ge's family, and it is not impossible to use this to accuse King Ge.
That's when it happened. A carriage pulled by eight horses with a Lijin canopy drove behind the group of soldiers, while another group of black-clad masked men rushed from a nearby alley.
The general shouted: "Escort! ”
When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately changed their formation, and their horses turned outward to surround the ornate carriage, and then they fought with the men in black who rushed over.
Seeing this, Xia Chen yelled at Shang Wuchen and Zi Mo: "Go!" ”
The three of them beheaded the last few soldiers who stood in front of the city gate, and together they pushed the city gate open, and the coachman also rushed over at this time: "Get in the car." ”
Out of the city and south until he came to a three-way intersection, Shang Wuchen ordered the coachman to stop the carriage and untie the horse, Xia Chen had already put the soft prepared in the car into the ring. The three of them changed horses and headed west.
After hurrying for more than an hour to a forest, Shang Wuchen said, "Let's rest here." ”
Xia Chen thought that the horse also had to rest and nodded: "Okay." ”
The three of them sat on the ground, and the horses graze. Zi Mo drank a few big sips of water: "I don't know if Brother Yong has been arrested." ”
Xia Chen said lightly: "He should be fine." As the black-clad masked men rushed out, she immediately recognized that it was He Wuyi, who would not have been able to escape from the city so smoothly if he hadn't blocked the soldiers.
Shang Wuchen looked at her thoughtfully: "Do you believe too much in the unintentional, or are you still angry with him?" ”
Xia Chen pulled the corners of his mouth slightly: "What you think is what it is." ”
Zi Mo's eyes widened: "Aren't Sister Chen and Brother Yong okay yesterday?" ”
Xia Chen got up and walked to the horse who had walked a little far: "Mo'er, in the future, you will either call me Xia Gongzi or my brother Chen." ”
Shang Wuchen and Zi Mo looked at each other for a while, and Zi Mo whispered: "Brother Wuchen, how do I feel that Sister Chen seems to have suddenly changed as a person!" She hadn't even blinked an eye when she had killed so many people just now. ”
Shang Wuchen frowned: "I also think it's strange, forget it, don't think about it, it's better to hurry first." ”
There was no obstacle on the way to the west, and Xuanguo usually used fast horses to deliver news, and when those counties and counties received the order of the wanted three people and then posted it, they had already gone to the next place.
For the past three days, Xia Chen has been solemn and silent, which makes Shang Wuchen and Zimo feel breathless.
In the evening of that day, the three of them stopped under a tree on the side of the road to rest, and Shang Wuchen finally couldn't help but ask, "Chen'er, what happened?" I've never seen you so sad since I met you. ”
Xia Chen said casually: "I'm just thinking that things are so big, and Xuanguo can't wait." ”
Zi Mo couldn't help but worry when he heard this, and said, "Yes, Brother Wuchen." Although we covered our faces that day, you and Sister Chen were easily recognized. ”
Shang Wuchen looked at the remnant sun in the sky: "It seems that you can only go to the Remnant Moon Palace to take refuge first, or go back to the Great Xia tribe." ”
Xia Chen said: "I'm going to go to the Western Regions. Shang Gongzi, you can do it yourself. After that, he looked at Ziyang: "When you arrive in Xiguan, you will go back to Xuandu, you are well-informed and familiar with the things in the palace, and the prince must have many things for you to help him." ”
Zi Mo was stunned: "I'm very worried about Brother Yong, but Sister Chen, you and Brother Wuchen are still safer together, why do you want to part ways?" ”
Xia Chen stared into the distance: "Wuchen has his own things to do, and I want to be empty for a while, I am familiar with the road in the Western Regions." It's going to be fine. ”
Shang Wuchen turned his head and stared at her deeply: "Chen'er, can the poison on your body be cured?" Have you remembered everything you used to do? ”
Xia Chen seemed to say to himself: "I'd rather not think about it." ”
Shang Wuchen smiled bitterly: "You must be hating me too, right?" ”
Xia Chen didn't blame him for anything, but when he heard what he said, he suddenly said, "I almost forgot that you sent me to Heifu with amnesia." You already knew who I was, why did you lie to me? ”
Shang Wuchen was silent for a moment: "I had no choice at that time, and I knew that he didn't mean to love you very much. ”
A wave of anger rushed up from the bottom of Xia Chen's heart: "Why do you influence my feelings, why do you have to let me and He have no intention of being together!" ”
Shang Wuchen looked at her in a daze: "You mean you don't like unintentionally?" ”
Xia Chen did not answer. She just felt very sorry for Wei Han. I feel that Wei Han is so pitiful, everyone seems to be helping He Wuyi, and they are unscrupulous.
Shang Wuchen was angry and sad when he saw her expression, and said lightly: "I believe that even if you didn't have amnesia at that time, you wouldn't sit back and watch him be beheaded, right?" If you don't have that kind of affection for the unintentional, I believe that he won't force it, and he keeps telling me that as long as you are happy and happy. Now that Hei Yuchen has returned, you have also returned to your original identity, and you will be free in the future. ”
"you free!" Xia Chen said that, he turned over, jumped on his horse, and galloped away.
Some things are easy to say, but when it comes to emotions, they can become extremely complicated. This is not a matter of acting, the feeling left in the bottom of my heart and the little memories between the two can never be erased. Even if she didn't have a skin-to-skin relationship with He. It's also the same as cutting and messing.
Xia Chen also knew that she was so troubled because she was unintentionally moved by He, and this was not a choice between a new love and an old love, but she seemed to love two men at the same time in her heart!
"Sister Chen! You run slower. Zi Mo shouted while chasing.
Shang Wuchen just followed silently, he couldn't figure out why Xia Chen reacted so strongly, in his opinion, she was obviously moved by He Wuyi, and He Wuyi definitely didn't love anyone except her, was it because of Hei Yuchen?
When they arrived at Lintao City at night, Zi Mo took them to a mansion that Helan Yong had purchased in this city. "Sister Chen, Brother Wuchen, this is what Brother Yong bought when he was in this town earlier, but no one knows except me and him, so we can rest here for two days with confidence."
The sky was slightly white, so Xia Chen got up and left a note and quietly left the house. Coming to the gate of the city gate, the city gate has not yet opened, but there is already a caravan waiting here, it happened that he recognized a caravan is the Hua family, she knows that the Hua family has privileges in the Great Cloud Country and the Xuan Kingdom, and the general people who guard the city will let them go as long as they see the Hua family's waist card without careful inspection, so she found the team leader, explaining that she was not familiar with the road to the customs for the first time, and was willing to pay thirty taels of silver to ask him to take him to the Western Regions.
Xia Chen wore a hood when talking to the team leader, and only lifted the veil slightly, so the team leader didn't see her white hair, but only felt that she was young and beautiful, so he happily agreed, and smiled and excused himself: "Sone doesn't have to pay money, there is a way to rely on your parents at home and rely on friends when you go out, so you can follow us." ”
"Thank you so much."
The team leader has rich experience in the end, although Xia Chen looks good, he can't help but interrogate the details. "Childe is so young, how can your family rest assured that you have gone so far alone?"
Xia Chen said: "I can't hide it, my father has been out of the customs with the caravan for more than half a year without any news, so I ......"
The team leader nodded clearly: "It turns out that you are looking for your father." Alas, it's not easy. ”
Xia Chen whispered: "I heard that the caravan is most afraid of encountering the people of the Remnant Moon Palace, but is it true? ”
The team leader also whispered: "I don't know who destroyed the Wanyue Palace, I originally thought that the road would be too peaceful, but who knew that there were no tigers and monkeys in the mountains, and there were more and more rampant robbers without the Wanyue Palace to deter robbers." ”
Xia Chen said: "Then these robbers are probably some rabble, right?" ”
The team leader smiled bitterly: "It's okay that there are many martial artists like us, but only those small caravans are suffering, and if you are lucky, you will only lose some property, and if you are unlucky, there will always be casualties." ”
At this time, the city gate opened, and Xia Chen and the caravan went out of the city. At this time, although she planned to go to the states of the Western Regions to go for a walk or a kind of self-exile, she was not in a hurry, and the people in the caravan were also good to her, so she decided to follow them first, otherwise it would be cold and Lu Yao would be alone and would not say anything, and she would have to do everything herself and cover everything.
Time passes, winter melts and spring breeze warms. The green poplar smoke is light and cold, and the red apricot branches are in spring. Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose new swallows peck the spring mud. Who said that the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass, in the Western Regions, which is regarded by the Central Plains people as more than the outside of the pass, the same spring is full of joy.
Xia Chen leaned on the beauty and looked at the spring in the garden, silently calculating the time in his heart, it has been two and a half years since the sunrise.
"Master, breakfast is ready."
Xia Chen nodded: "Maya, how long has Zhao Gongzi been gone?" ”
Maya is a slave girl she bought, and she should be Aryan in terms of blood, brown and brown-eyed, with three-dimensional facial features, bright and generous, and a plump body.
Maya bowed and said, "It's been three months." ”
Xia Chen reminded with a smile: "It's been three months." So I should be back soon. ”
"Yes."
Thinking of Zhao Tie, that is, his childhood playmate Zhao San, Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh that fate was wonderful, and even more sighed that not only the eighteen changes of the female university, but also the male university.
used to be the Zhao San girl who looked like her daughter's family no matter how she looked and behaved, but now although she still has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, her temperament and personality are very manly.
A year ago, Xia Chen went to pick up the Huajia caravan, and when the caravan followed by Zhao Tie was robbed, the caravan was killed and wounded, and he was still desperately trying to protect the goods even though he was seriously injured.
Xia Chen had seen him when he visited his grandmother in Qingzhou in his early years, and although his appearance and figure had changed a lot, he still recognized him at a glance. Xia Chen took him back to his current residence to recuperate from his injuries, and his original owner was dead, so he stayed behind to do things for her.
Xia Chen did the same thing as a bodyguard, for more than two years, if the caravan from the Xiguan of Xuanguo to the Western Regions wanted to be absolutely safe, he received a flag from an old shepherd outside the Xiguan, and when he arrived at the head of the Western Regions safely, someone naturally charged a certain protection fee according to the size of the caravan.
At first, some people did not believe in evil, and some people received the flag and did not want to pay the money, but the result was either that the goods disappeared under their noses, or they woke up in the morning to find a knife stuck in the pillow.
Word of this soon spread, and almost all caravans that felt incapable of dealing with robbers now received protective flags, and many large caravans did so for peace of mind. And whoever has received the flag and paid the tax can come and go in peace.
Many people are wondering if the robbers along the way have been wiped out. But caravans that don't receive flags will still run into them, so what's going on?
In fact, Xia Chen originally wanted to kill all the robbers along the way, but she didn't kill anyone, if she could be fed and clothed, who would want to hang his head on his waist to do this business, those robbers are mostly displaced herdsmen and farmers or escaped slaves. So Xia Chen found the robber leaders one by one and made a gambling contract, but she never lost once, and those robbers had to worship her as the boss.
Of course, she will also leave them alive, in addition to arranging for some people to work in the shop she is running now, she also regularly distributes silver taels to those who are wanted and cannot show up, so those people will be convinced of her, otherwise she alone will not be able to kill so many robbers, and even if those people are afraid of her, they will take risks in order to survive.
Zhao Tie came back at noon, and Xia Chen saw that his expression was a little solemn: "Isn't this trip smooth?" (To be continued......)
