"Hoo ......"

Exhaled a breath of turbidity, and in the inn, Liu Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on his knees, slowly opened his eyes.

Ma Xiu, who was waiting beside him, immediately put down the blue porcelain cup on a white background that was about to be crushed by him, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Yusheng, do you feel better?" ”

Walking down from the bed, Liu Xi wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, then poured a cup of tea that had been cooled, and drank it in a big gulp, "Today, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu put down the heart that had been hanging, "Now that I think of what happened last night, I feel that my scalp is numb, and I am very afraid, Yusheng, do you think this person will have something to do with the disappearance of the miscellaneous family?" ”

Putting down the cup in his hand, Liu Xi pondered for a moment, "Last night's cultivation should be in the realm of breaking the void, such an enemy, anyone will feel afraid, appearing in Shu at this time, even if the affairs of the miscellaneous family have nothing to do with him, I am afraid that there are other ulterior purposes." ”

This sentence has reached Ma Xiu's heart, Shu is the place where their Tuoba family governs, no matter what the purpose of the person who comes, it is a sharp sword hanging above his head.

Shaking his head, the Shu Kingdom is in a mess right now, and Ma Xiu can only throw this matter out of his head for the time being, otherwise he is really afraid that his head will explode.

Later, Ma Xiu remembered something again, "But why did he disappear after learning that you used the 'Dragon Snake Nine Changes'?" ”

Shaking his head, Liu Xi was also quite puzzled, "When I was healing, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know the reason, although my 'Dragon and Snake Nine Changes' said that the Han Dynasty Liu's secret exercises, but how could people who could reach the realm of breaking the void care about the secular dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, "Since I can't think of a reason, let him go over there, anyway, the one who should come will always come, we just need to see the move." ”

Liu Xi responded in a deep voice, "That's the only way, to respond to all changes with no change." ”

After saying this, Liu Xi turned the curtain, the sun outside the house was about to set in the west, and the red afterglow dyed the clouds of the entire sky.

It's like the rouge on a girl's white face.

In the distance, the streets were different from the cities they had passed before, and many soldiers with their hands patrolled the streets back and forth, and the soldiers of the brigade could be seen marching rapidly.

Obviously, the closer to Chongzhou City, where Emperor Ming of Great Shu was located, the more tense the situation became.

If Tuoba Ao wants to master Shudi, he must capture Chongzhou City as soon as possible, after all, he is plotting to usurp the throne, and the longer the time drags on, the more likely he is to be defeated.

So Liu Xi didn't have to think about it to know that Chongzhou City was already in flames of war at this moment, the shouts of killing inside and outside the city walls shook the sky, and the blood had already flowed into a river.

"How long will it take?"

Liu Xi asked suddenly, Ma Xiu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, his face full of worry, "You can go for another three or four nights." ”

Jian frowned, Liu Xi paced back and forth in the house a few times, "Today, if you travel day and night, will you be able to arrive in two days?" ”

Ma Xiu stood up with a 'Teng', no one was more anxious than him to rush to Chongzhou City, just to hide his traces, so these geniuses are day and night, and now Liu Xi proposed to travel day and night, he naturally couldn't ask for it.

After the mood was agitated, Ma Xiu whispered his concerns, "But what if I find out?" ”

"Previously, we were too far away from Chongzhou City, and there were too many variables in it, so we had to be careful everywhere and not expose the traces, but now Chongzhou City is close at hand, and the states and counties in it have been disturbed by the war, and they are all tired of recruiting troops to attack the city, so I think it should be easy to get out."

Speaking of this, Liu Xi added, "What's more, you are an authentic prince of Shu, if you encounter a soldier to investigate, you will pretend to lead Tuoba Ao's order to go to supervise the battle before the war." Naturally, because the wanted warrant has been issued in various states and counties, you need to do the art of disguise today, and you have to imitate a copy of the token or secret decree of the Shu Kingdom. ”

Being able to arrive in Chongzhou some time in the morning, how could Ma Xiu not agree to these things, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yusheng, don't worry, I have always carried a waist card given by my father, that Tuoba Ao may be able to identify a few points, but the officials below can't distinguish it, I will go and change my appearance, and when Xiao Wu and they buy horses and come back, we will set off immediately." ”

When Xiao Wu and the three of them came back, they were empty-handed, and when the war was in chaos, the horses were all requisitioned, where were the horse dealers who made a living here?

Fortunately, after the group went out of the city, they met a group of robbers, these robbers were fierce, and there were a few horses under their crotches, so everyone naturally robbed the horses needless to say.

Xiao Wu and Ma Xiu also changed the horses they sat down on by the way, after all, the two horses did not reach the 'moon', they were just ordinary horses, and they were already tired after running for more than ten days.

Stepping on the horse, Ma Xiuzi led the way first, and Liu Xi and others followed closely behind, chasing the moon and stepping on the stars under the night, and quickly headed towards Chongzhou City.

Jiaozhi City, the last barrier to Chongzhou City, is also the forefront of Tuoba Ao's attack on Chongzhou City.

In the city, there was chaos, the people were all closed, and there was rarely a single person seen on the street.

withered and cold, like a purgatory on earth.

Seeing this scene, thinking of the prosperous scene of business travel before, Ma Xiu couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and the hatred for Tuoba Ao in his heart was a little more.

There was no one to compete with him for the throne, but he wanted to do a great rebellion to kill his father and usurp the throne, which even more bittered the people of Shu and made them suffer from war.

How can such sins be forgiven!

Just when Ma Xiu's heart was angry, a group of drunken soldiers stopped in front of them, led by a big waist and a full beard, "Stop, the front line is urgent, your General Ma Ben has requisitioned, when the time comes, I will give you a credit for the general!" ”

The soldiers behind him grinned.

The speaker took another sip of wine, which dripped down his beard, and after a while, he burped loudly, and his body shook a few times, and he almost didn't stand.

Seeing that Liu Xi and the others didn't move, the man's fist-big eyes showed a fierce look, "Damn, don't get off the horse again, General Ben ......"

"Smack!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound, but it was Ma Xiu who threw out the leather whip, and then saw the burly leader fly out with a scream.

The whole person rolled on the ground with his face covered.

It is the angry Ma Xiu who must not be light, but he is afraid of the expansion of the situation, otherwise he is afraid that he will take this person's life.

After throwing the leather whip, Ma Xiu took out the gold medal that had been prepared from his waist, "I am ordered to supervise the battle, and if you make it again, you will take your dog's life!" ”

As soon as the gold medal came out, the soldiers who were about to rush up were suddenly frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, while Ma Xiu glared at them viciously, and then drove away.

After a short time of departure, another group of men and horses came from elsewhere, and on the tall horse, a man with a gloomy gaze glared at the man rolling on the ground, and waved his hand to escort the soldiers back to the barracks to be punished.

"General, the court has sent an overseer."

A frightened and trembling soldier blurted out such a sentence.

"Overseers?"

The soldier who spoke nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, "The little one can't be wrong when he sees him take out the golden waist card." ”

The man on the horse immediately changed his face, "Where are they going?" ”

"West Gate."

As soon as these words came out, the horseman's heart suddenly chuckled, feeling that something was wrong, although now it is a heavy gathering of troops here, but the people sent to attack Chongzhou are all the henchmen of the eldest prince Tuoba Ao, how can they send another overseer.

Outside the West City Gate, another thirty miles is Chongzhou City, and nine times out of ten people are the remnants of Emperor Ming!

Ignoring the soldiers who had just been drinking, the man on horseback immediately ordered people to go to the camp to summon people, while he himself took the lead and chased after him with his cronies towards the west gate.

At this moment, Liu Xi and others are gradually approaching the city gate, the more they go out, the more soldiers they encounter to check, fortunately, the waist card embroidered by Ma makes the ordinary soldiers dare not question it, but it is also unimpeded.

But to get out of the city, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

During the period when the two sides were at war, the West City Gate had become a special gate for sending troops out of the city, and at other times the gate was closed, and ordinary people could not enter or exit from this gate.

Sure enough, ten zhang away from the city gate, Liu Xi and the others were intercepted again, and at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves behind them came, and it was the general who was guarding the city who also rushed over with his cronies.

At such a critical moment, Liu Xi's murderous aura suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head and said to Xiao Wudao, "Split the city gate for me, let's rush over!" ”

"Don't hurt the innocent!"

Before the words fell, Xiao Wu's green steel sword had already flown out, with a pleasant whistling sound, splitting the soldiers blocking the road into two ends, and finally passing straight through the vermilion thick city gate.

Immediately, the gates turned into sawdust flying in the sky.

"Amitabha."

Luochen folded his hands and began to chant Buddhist scriptures, overtaking the soul of the dead.

Liu Xi slammed the horse that Luochen sat down with a whip, "Master Luochen, wars always kill people, and earthly desires always have to pay a certain price!" ”

Under the leather whip, the horse under the crotch of the dust rushed out in pain, and Liu Xi followed, but when he passed the city gate, he reached out to catch a piece of debris that fell down.

Look back and pop the debris out.

Behind him, the guard who was chasing after him on horseback fell from the horse, and his eyebrows were a different kind of red.

Out of Jiaozhi City, there was no one on the road, so it was extremely fast to move thirty miles, until there was a shocking shout of killing in his ears, and Liu Xi knew that he had arrived outside Chongzhou City.

"Today, don't be busy entering the city!"

Liu Xi called Ma Xiu, "Let's take a look outside first, if there is a chance, kill the enemy commander, maybe we can temporarily relieve the siege of Chongzhou City." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu, who was full of anxiety, nodded again and again, "What Yusheng said is reasonable, capture the thief and capture the king first, if you can take off the head of the rebel commander, the rebels will be scattered." ”

Xiao Wu, who was holding the reins, frowned slightly, "Will there be a master sitting here?" ”

Mingmiao, who closed his eyes and felt a little, took a deep breath, "It's hard to say." ”

Liu Xi's eyes were firm, "No matter what, you still have to give it a try, otherwise it will be difficult for Chongzhou City, which only has the strength of one city, to win with the battle between the two armies." ”

On the side, the dust who was still chanting the scriptures for the excessive soldiers just now could only shake his head and sigh again and again, and continued to recite the scriptures.
