Volume II: Embers, Chapter 92

Yi Yu's front seemed to have another bright light suddenly flashed, but when he looked again, the bright light had disappeared. But something throbbed in his heart, and it frightened him a little. The bright light came from the reflection on the knife, but what was wrong with the melon farmer holding an ordinary kitchen knife.

"Old-timer, I'll buy this melon."

"Do you really want to buy it?" The old man's voice was muffled.

"Never break your word."

"That'...... is excellent. The old man leaned sideways to lift the dark cloth, and slowly hummed a strange opera tune in his mouth, "All the way from the city, no one is willing to buy my melons, they are afraid that I am some frozen and wilted melons, general, you are the first!" ”

"Senior...... It's not a Youya, is it? Yi Yu's face was gloomy.

"Does the general know why no one buys my melons?" The old man didn't seem to have heard, and still asked himself.

"Senior, don't you know if this melon will be sold or not?" The abnormal smell permeated, Yi Yu sniffed violently, and his dark eyes changed, becoming fierce and murderous.

In the terrible darkness of the night, only the burning candle flame shone alone. The abrupt and leisurely opera tune echoes in the mountains and valleys for a long time.

"Someone...... He asked me this question. He said that on this stage, there are fewer and fewer officials, but the number of plays has not increased. So, where did they all go? At this moment, the old man's voice suddenly became clear, and the ringing like a bell struck, "I replied to him, useless man...... Death is inevitable. ”

"A chess piece should have the consciousness of being an outcast."

It was like a muffled thunderbolt that pierced through Yi Yu, and he watched the color of the cloth wrapped in it darker and darker, and his eyes were black, and he almost fainted to the ground.

"Original...... Everything was wrong. He muttered.

There was the sound of swords unsheathed, and there were also low smirks.

The old man in the big coat led the horse as white as snow and slowly approached the gate of Liexun City. Beside him, followed by a jade-faced boy who shook his fan and smiled. In the eyes of the world, the son of such a noble family may have led his own high-grade horse and took an old slave out of the city to play.

"Come, show the area seal!" Several of the guards of the city held their spears horizontally in front of the old man.

Childe squinted, and he had guessed a little bit of caution on the part of these guards. He stepped forward, shook the fan in his hand and closed it, pinched a few gold baht in his hand, and stared at the commander in front of him.

"A few, the district seal of this son was previously omitted in the mansion, and I hope it will be convenient."

The guards looked at the golden baht that shone with a little bit of gold, and their greedy expressions welled up, but no one dared to come forward to catch it.

"This son," the leading commander put down his spear first, "the villain dared to ask, which adult are you?" ”

"With the Commander's eyesight, I may have already seen a thing or two......" Childe glanced at the Commander and smiled lowly, "But everyone, don't worry about anything else, accept these gold baht, I will never embarrass you." ”

The commander's face froze, and he carefully observed the boy's clothes again. The pansy-colored silk robe is only qualified to be worn by the clansmen of the Siwang clan, but the clothes of the prince in front of him are obviously more expensive than those of the wang clan, and there is also the ring made of mutton fat and white jade.

"Open the bar, let the two out of the city!" Determined to make a gesture of goodwill, the commander turned and motioned for his subordinates to lower their spears and open the barricades.

"There's a long time to go." Childe straightened up and bowed slightly.

"Thanks to the love of the prince," the commander took the golden baht with trepidation, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, "Childe, if it is feasible, I hope to say a few kind words in front of the lord." ”

In the face of money, no one will choose to refuse, let alone the one who comes or the noble.

Childe agreed and walked forward, but the old man behind him never moved, as if he was quietly observing something.

"Old man, why are you so rude?" The commander stepped forward and pointed his spear at the old man.

Childe was stunned for a moment, and smiled lowly, this soldier who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard must not know the relationship between the two and wants to be courteous. But the old man remained silent, and he met the spear, and slowly led the horse forward.

"This old slave ...... It's obedient! The commander turned to look at the boy and wanted to ask for credit. But Gongzi didn't look at him from beginning to end, but was polite to the old slave, which made him a little inexplicably confused. But he suddenly reacted as if something, the spear in his hand shook to the ground, and he looked at the old man's back with a pale face.

It was a knife, and under the heavy cover, it could still show a vague rudimentary shape. A soldier like him who defends a city must never have a sword. Then, this person's identity will never be as simple as an old slave. What's more, if the old man is dissatisfied, he will be separated.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Childe looked at the frightened soldier behind him, smiled secretly, and turned to look at the old man beside him.

"Keep your mouth shut," said the old man.

With his hands, he smoothed out the folds of the large sheath behind him, blocking the faint ornamentation on the scabbard. Ahead, the city barrier was wide open, and all the soldiers retreated on both sides. Childe took the lead in stepping forward, but at this time, a person who couldn't see his face clearly passed by him and walked straight to the old man. It seems to be a merchant who entered the city from outside the city before.

"Wolf Gu," the visitor said very lowly, and his voice was even muffled by footsteps, "it's about to change hands." ”

The old man's body shook violently, and his wide eyes were filled with doubt and anger at the same time.

"Changing hands?" He thought back to this meaningful sentence and understood something.

"Yongran," the old man called out to the boy in front of him, "do you notice something?" ”

"What did you say?" Yongran approached the old man with a strange face, a little confused.

In his consciousness, this old guy always seemed to like to say something godly, but there was something different in that word, which was obscure and extremely valuable.

"You mean...... Our layout? ”

"Not bad. And, as it stands, it seems that we have always been kept in the dark. The old man's voice was so light that even Yongran had to hold his breath to hear it, "Yan Yitu didn't disobey me, he has been moving towards the original plan, but I misjudged his path." ”

Yongran was stunned, "That person just now...... Who is it? ”

"My eyes and ears," said the old man, "this continent is almost everywhere they look. ”

"Do you see a group of people at the city gate?" He turned to the right rear, his eyes fluttering with the cavalry, "There is a strong smell of blood on those people's bodies. ”

It was a team of cavalry with more than a dozen people and fully clothed, covered under the black robe, which was a cold and light black leather armor. Each rider had three swords on his straddle mounted. On the wide passage, no soldiers dared to stop them, but only stood far away to open the city barricade. The soldiers looked in horror at the tall horses they had never seen in their lives, and their figures stood crookedly. Some people tried to escape, but they were finally stopped in shock.

The dark brown high-hoofed horses snorted and passed the guards like thunder, slowly walking out of the city gates. It made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"They...... Is it a wolf Gu? Yongran was slightly stunned.

"You haven't disappointed me, kid."

"This ...... This is the Liesun City of Youya! How could Guangcai's wolf Gu Si drive out of the city gate so swaggeringly? How is this possible! ”

"Looks like you're hopelessly stupid." The old man glared at Yongran, "I take back what I said earlier. ”

"Old fellow...... You! ”

"Idiot!" The old man interrupted him, "Son, won't you use your meager head to think about the reason?" If this can happen, then there is only one possibility. ”

"That'...... What is that. Yongran's eyes widened as he looked at the cavalry in the distance.

"The governor of the Lu clan of Liexun has rebelled."

"What did you say!" Yongran grabbed the old man anxiously, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Rubbish!" The old man slapped Yongran on the back with a slap, "As the prince of Dayue, you are already old and weak, don't you even have this responsibility!" Expect others to plan everything for you. ”

"But I'm just a dog and a horse!" Yongran screamed, "Are we just going to leave here?" ”

"Of course not, we just need a moment now, and just someone would like that." The old man sighed, tightened the reins of the snow, and stopped looking at Yongran, "An excellent hunter will wait until the prey has no power to resist before making a move." What's more, they are an invulnerable wolf pack! ”

"One...... Occasion? ”

"Lord Lieson has chosen to obey, so we have one less troublesome link. The ultimate purpose of Yan Yitu is unknown. But with his heart, he will definitely make that most crucial step. ”

Yongran repeated the words, as if trying to guess something from them.

The sky is getting deeper and deeper, and it is gradually sinking in the west. The lookout tower at the city gate has been lit with fire. The guards, who had previously been terrified of the wolf, also began to disperse the idle people who were still stationed near the city gates.

The old man took off his hat with both hands, revealing a very heroic face. He was very old, and his bright silver hair was scattered and hung down to his shoulders, and he was not tied in a bun. The two long sideburns curled loosely would make people mistakenly think that this is a wandering outsider. But in those frightening eyes, people didn't dare to look at it directly.

He's not an ordinary wild man, he's a real lion!

"Yan Yitu has endured a small director for many years, for his ambition. And the first step to satisfy his ambition is to kill some dissident superiors. ”

"Who could that be?"

"Wolf King," the old man raised his head, there was light in his lion-like eyes, extremely bright, "Wolf Gu's capital, Ning Ye." ”
