Chapter 5: Mountain ghosts cry out in the dark

The thief White Night has also encountered many dangers in his career. But every time, he was able to turn the danger into a safe escape with his unparalleled light body kung fu. Today, though, for the first time, he felt hopeless.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Luocheng, the night of the lights is lit, and the mouth of the short alley. Prince Zhao looked at him with a smile, his eyes were very strange, and he seemed to be just curious. The guards with the twin swords on their backs were full of anger and unkind eyes. But the unfathomable hunchbacked old man went to the carriage and continued to be his coachman, tasting the pot of wine in the moonlight.

Even if the horrible old creature stopped looking back at him, White Night could feel that all his retreats were under his control. Don't say that you have been injured, even if you make all your efforts with all your own vigilance, if you want to escape in front of this person, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible.

Without the prince's orders, the guards had already walked over and stepped on Bai Ye, and reached out to take the blue rhino bead from his arms. If he hadn't known that his prince was kind-hearted and never allowed to hurt people's lives easily, he would have cut off the thief's arm with a knife and taught him a painful lesson that he will never forget.

White Night did not resist. In the case of inferior skills, the only consequence of resistance is death! And he doesn't want to die yet, or he can't. The woman from Shu was still waiting for him to go back...... However, if he can't bring back this pearl of the deep sea, Aqiao can only spend the rest of his life in the dark. At the thought of this, he lowered his head, and there was infinite pain in his eyes.

Now that the Bi Xi Zhu has been taken back, Chu Jiangmian has no intention of continuing to embarrass this thief. The blow that Lao Ji gave him with his hand must have been very measured. It will not hurt too badly, let alone kill people. The identities of the two sides are very different, and after Pingshui meets, after raising his hand to spare, there will be no intersection in the future. Chu Jiangmian took the bead and waved his hand to board the carriage.

"Wait! I really need this deep-sea pearl...... I'm willing to do anything for you if I could exchange conditions. Just ask the prince to give him a chance. ”

The thief, who had somewhat regained some strength, struggled to get up from the ground and pestle his head to the ground, hoping to ask for a last chance. He has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has never knelt for anyone, but today, in order to cure Acho's eye disease, he does not hesitate to kneel down on the streets of Los Angeles and beg for each other.

"Oh...... Do you know that this pearl of the East China Sea is priceless? What do you have to exchange? ”

Prince Zhao stopped, turned around again, and looked at the pale thief with a smile. I don't know why, but he would be interested in anyone interested in this era.

"I can steal anything you want for you, or I can kill people for you...... Even in exchange for my own life! What about this condition? ”

White Night solemnly made a promise. As long as there is the slightest chance to save Aqiao, he will not hesitate to pay any price.

"Good! Then trade your life for it. ”

To everyone's surprise, this world-famous gentleman said his conditions without care. A living human life, in his mouth, seems to be inferior to a dog.

A little anger welled up in Bai Ye's eyes. But it soon disappeared. He bit his lip, raised his head, and stared at Chu Jiangmian's grinning face face face to face.

"Yes! This life of mine is worthless. After I die, I hope that you will keep your promise and send this Emerald Rhinos to the place I have designated. ”

"No problem!"

Chu Jiangmian waved his hand casually, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger. After getting his promise, Bai Ye no longer had the slightest hesitation. With a flip of his wrist, he sucked the short knife on the ground into his palm, and stabbed it straight into the chest. It turned out to be that death is death, and it is fierce!

It's just that the flickering short knife didn't be able to pierce his chest. There was a crisp sound, a cold light flashed, and an unsheathed sword cut the short knife into two pieces. In a moment of astonishment, Chu Jiangmian had already heard Chu Jiangmian laughing loudly.

"A mere bead is worth burying your own life? With your courage, this bead will be given to you...... Hahaha! ”

In the midst of a long laugh, the prince of Zhao, who had put his sword into the sheath, strode into the carriage and walked away.

The short alleys in the night are silent again. Far and near, there was no one to be seen, and the moonlight gradually gentle. After a while, Bai Ye, who looked a little sluggish, lowered his head, and the deep-sea pearl in his palm glowed green, reminding him that what had just happened was not his hallucination.

"Chu Jiangmian...... He will be rewarded in the day! ”

After bowing respectfully in the direction of the carriage's departure, the thief, who had put the blue rhino bead in his arms again, jumped onto the roof, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the depths of the thousands of households in Los Angeles.

Soon after, a figure carrying a package appeared on the high wall of the West Gate. Before jumping down, Bai Ye glanced back at the lights of Los Angeles. A feeling of no reason suddenly came over me. It turns out that this world is still worth it! It was at this moment that he made a decision. After returning to Shu to cure Aqiao's eyes, you must take her to Zhao Country for a trip...... Perhaps, it will be where they will live for the rest of their lives.

The thief who rode away thousands of miles with gratitude, but he would not have thought that Chu Jiangmian, who was extremely heroic just now, would have a headache at this moment. Because, when Jiang Xue'er saw that her brother didn't take back her favorite beads, she cried aggrievedly. And it's uncontrollable when you cry. Even if Chu Jiangmian accompanied her and said all the good things, it couldn't make her happy.

"Your Royal Highness, why did you give such a precious pearl of the night to that thief? Dare to steal from our hands, and if you don't kill him, it's already cheaper for him. ”

The guards who followed him, one was puzzled, and the other was to take the opportunity to resolve Chu Jiangmian's embarrassment of coaxing the little princess, so he asked. Sure enough, although Jiang Xue'er was still shedding tears unrelentingly, she secretly pricked up her ears and listened. Chu Jiangmian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the three of them with a smile.

"A person who is willing to trade his life must really need this bead. Although the blue rhino beads are precious, for us, they are just the icing on the cake. But for that person, maybe it could really change a lot of things in his life! ”

"I see! The subordinates really thought that the prince was going to take his life. But it's just a test...... Hehe! ”

The double-knife guard looked suddenly enlightened, gave a thumbs up, and praised again and again. And Lao Ji, who was driving the car, just grinned. Raising the whip, facing the wind, the liquor in his throat, and exclaiming.

"Good wine......!"

Chu Jiangxue quietly stopped sobbing, but finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, she gently tugged at her brother's sleeve.

"That man...... Does it really work with that bead? Could he be lying to us? ”

"Well...... Probably not! Listening to what he meant, it seems that he is going to save people, if this is really the case, our Xue'er still did a good deed! Hehe! ”

"Ahh Really? So who will he save...... Is it someone he loves? ”

"Who knows! Maybe it'....... ”

"That'...... In that case, I don't think about the bead anymore. ”

"Cher is the most sensible little princess! Don't worry, my brother will definitely give you the best compensation...... If you want anything, just tell me. ”

"Brother Jiang Mian has already given enough! In the past few years, Xue'er's small building has almost run out...... I shouldn't have been so greedy! ”

"Haha! Good Cher, what's that...... Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. ”

"Really? Then I want all the fun stuff in Kyushu...... If you want the brightest star in the sky, can Brother Jiang Mian pick it off? ”

"Oh...... What's this? Now, of course, I can't. But in the future...... Who can say for sure! Ha ha! ”

In the dim light, the carriage went all the way. The innocent girl is full of infinite longing for the future. It's just that she doesn't know yet, what she thinks is just a promise made by her brother to make her happy, and what kind of magnificent waves will be in the years to come.

It's their best age!

And on this same night, outside Los Angeles, on the mountainside of Zhongyue, someone was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, absorbing the sun and the moon and swallowing the essence. In the darkness around them, the blades loomed, and countless elite dead soldiers were on strict guard, protecting their young master.

A ray of moonlight fell on the tip of his eyebrows, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, the light on the young man's unruly face loomed. As if he felt something, he stood up and looked at the Great Zhou Wangcheng under his feet from a high place, his brows furrowed slightly, like a sword flying, which made people feel inexplicably afraid.

Although it was impossible to see the scene in the city clearly from here, he knew the every move of the prince from Zhao. Qin's spy system is intimidating to all countries in the world, they are pervasive and omniscient, not to mention that they have a strict layout in other places, even in Los Angeles, if they want to know something, they can grasp it at the first time.

"What did Lanling Jun do after he invited Chu Jiangmian to the banquet?"

Hearing the young master's cold question, a black shadow flashed over and bowed down to answer.

"The people of Qi didn't do anything more, they rushed back to their residence directly, and they heard that they were going to study the recipe for some fine wine."

The young man's name is Nie Wushuang, who is the young son of Qin, shrewd and powerful, and has always been loved by Nie Feng, the king of Qin. Hearing his subordinate's answer, he snorted coldly.

"Humph! No matter whether Qi Guo wants to offend no one at both ends of the rat, or wants to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fishermen, their wishful thinking is not a success! My master said that King Zhou's life is not long in coming, and the real chaos in the world is coming. There are dozens of countries in the world, and whoever strikes first will be able to get the first opportunity...... Looking at the four seas of Kyushu, those who uphold the will of heaven are the only ones in our Qin country! ”

"I would like to listen to the young master...... Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up! "The dead around were all generous and uplifted.

"Good! The mountain ghost general sent someone to closely monitor any whereabouts of Chu Jiangmian...... This time, he must not be allowed to return to Zhao alive! ”
