Chapter 40: Saving Xuan Ce in Khotan, Chen Lei's thoughts gradually cleared

As mentioned last time, Bashu Tea House complained about its state of mind, and it was in danger outside Minzhou City. Lang Lang Qiankun, blue sky and white day, these men in black appeared again. Suddenly, the aura of slaughter filled the sky, and Wang Xuance and the others were full of spirit, and they did not dare to slack off at all. When facing these black-clothed people, Wang Xuance felt from their eyes how these people were so familiar in an instant, as if it was just yesterday.

His thoughts brought him back to a few years ago, the day after he met the snow geese. It's also such a noon, and it's also a group of people in black, what is the connection between them? However, these black-clothed men didn't allow him to think about it, and they didn't say the slightest word, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and immediately slashed and killed him.

Looking at this critical moment, Wang Xuance said loudly to Zhou Zeng while fighting against the enemy with his sword: "Protect the county lord and Xiaocui and withdraw quickly." Zhou Zeng saw that there were many people on the other side, and when he heard him say this, he didn't dare to fight at all, and protected the two of them while fighting.

When Zhou Zeng was about to break out of the encirclement, the gang of men in black rushed up again. Fortunately, Wang Xuance saw the right time and carried the Qingyu Sword to kill directly, dragging the man in black and providing him with a chance to breathe. In this way, Xue Yan and Xiaocui were taken by Zhou Zeng and quickly retreated to Minzhou City.

Because their goal this time was very clear, they did not pursue Snow Goose and the others again. After this fight, but seeing that their sword blades only pointed at Wang Xuance, Chen Maocai also saw the reason, and in order to protect him, he has been standing with him back to back.

But I saw that the man in black, under the leadership of his leader, sometimes came out of the white clouds, sometimes the pine greeted the guests, sometimes the green mountains were faint, and sometimes the gentry hung upside down, every move and every style was a killing move, and the move only stabbed the two of them in the vital place. And in order to deal with this vicious move, the two of them sometimes white rainbows through the sun, sometimes golden geese in the sky, sometimes left Parson, sometimes boundless falling wood; Although the swordsmanship of the two of them was far superior to theirs, after all, the other party was outnumbered, and they gradually felt physically exhausted.

Looking at the snow geese and the others who were far away, the two of them also wanted to get out as soon as possible. But these men in black chased and beat them fiercely, and they didn't give them a chance at all. Faced with such a scene, the two fought again.

Wang Xuance never expected to be planted here today. With the rapid loss of physical strength, I only heard one of the men in black looking at the two of them, and laughed: "Boy, I didn't expect to fall into my hands again today!" ”

Listening to this, the tone is so familiar; His instincts told him that there must be a connection between this and the events of a few years ago. When he understood all this, Wang Xuance also made all his killer moves. Under Chen Maocai's escort, he carried the Qingyu Sword, used his last strength, and stabbed the man in black who spoke again and again; Taking advantage of his slightest carelessness, he slashed him off his horse with a sword.

After this battle, Wang Xuance and Chen Maocai had exhausted their last strength, and at the critical moment when the two were about to be cut off by many men in black. But not far away, a group of people from the Western Regions dressed in white came up, only to hear their leader hurriedly say loudly: "Come on, save them."

Immediately, twenty or thirty warriors from the Western Regions drew their sabers and slapped the horse, and they rushed over in an instant. After this wave of killing, coupled with the arrival of so many people from the Western Regions, these black-clothed people were instantly overwhelmed. As soon as they saw this, they were instructed by their leader to withdraw immediately. Only five or six corpses remained, scattered on the high hills. And the man in black who spoke to Wang Xuance earlier had also lost too much blood and fell to the ground and died!

It is really an endless road, they were rescued by them at this moment of crisis, although Wang Xuance and Chen Maocai at this time have felt seriously exhausted their physical strength, but they still hold on to their strength and express their gratitude to these people in the Western Regions.

But when I saw a few warriors from the Western Regions, I picked up these black-clothed people covered in this black veil, and at first glance, they were Tuyuhun people. Then he said to the person who led it: "Prince Qiyu, these people all have the characteristics of the Tuyuhun people. Hearing this, Wang Xuance and Zhou Zeng also looked at each other and seemed to understand something.

"I don't know how the two of you offended this Tuyuhun and were hunted down and killed like this?"

Only at this time did Wang Xuance take care of it and take a look at this person from the Western Regions. He is only in his twenties, wearing a white gon costume with the characteristics of the Western Regions, and his rounded face is very delicate. Just now I heard the soldier mention the word prince, and then he saluted again and thanked him: "Thank you prince for saving me." I am the Huangshui Order of Rongzhou, and I went to Beijing to serve in Beijing by the order of the imperial court, and I never wanted to go to Minzhou, but I met this man in black again. ”

When the prince heard that they were also going in the direction of the capital, his attitude was so sincere, so he replied with a happy face: "I am the prince of Khotan, this time I am entrusted by my father to come to the Tang Dynasty to meet your Emperor Your Majesty.

When the two of them heard this, they also readily agreed, and they were full of promises!

At this time, I saw a man riding a horse and whipping and speeding towards him. These people from the Western Regions suddenly became nervous and vigilant again, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Wang Xuance took a closer look and found that it was Zhou Zeng. It turned out that after he settled Snow Goose and Xiao Cui, Snow Goose was worried that they would suffer, so he asked him to quickly turn around and prepare to respond. Seeing his arrival, Wang Xuance immediately explained to everyone that it was his own person and signaled them to relax their vigilance.

After some greetings and introductions. Wang Xuance immediately turned around, found the man in black who had just spoken, and picked his right shoulder with his sword, and sure enough, he saw that there was a long scar on his right shoulder.

Over the years, he has been thinking hard about who these men in black are and why they killed the snow geese at that time, but there is no evidence, let alone the point. I never thought that the road was narrow, but I ran into it again here, although he had died in his hands, but fortunately, there were some clues......

Looking at these dead people, the prince of Khotan immediately signaled his subordinates, threw them into a deep ditch, and buried them hastily. Immediately afterwards, Wang Xuance and others also packed up their mood, and followed the pace of Prince Khotan, and walked towards Minzhou City.

After a while, according to Zhou Zeng's guidance, he found the shelter of Snow Goose and Xiaocui. Don't look at Zhou Zeng, who is usually very arrogant, but he is coarse and meticulous in his actions, he understands that these black-clothed people dare not attack the village; Therefore, he entrusted the snow geese to a family that seemed to be an honest farmer.

After experiencing the test of life and death just now, Xue Yan not only missed Wang Xuance's comfort, but also felt that time passed so slowly. Worry and torment filled her mind all the time, and she couldn't help but let tears wet her cheeks. When they met again, they suddenly burst into laughter, turned worry into joy, and looked at Wang Xuance who had returned safely with the veins of the rest of his life.

And because Wang Xuance was thinking hard about the man in black, he didn't care too much about the change in Xue Yan's expression, and just smiled faintly. At this time, Xiaocui immediately interjected: "The county lord was worried about the son's tightness just now." Everyone who said this sentence secretly laughed, which also made the two of them embarrassed suddenly.

Wang Xuance hurriedly diverted the topic and introduced each other to Prince Khotan and Xue Yan. When Snow Goose heard that they had just been saved thanks to them, she was also full of joy and thanked the prince of Khotan for saving his life.

With a little kindness, everyone said goodbye to the honest farmer, and just like that, they hit the road again......

His eyes came to a house in the dense forest outside Minzhou City. Although the house is not large, it is quite neat and secluded. saw the rest of the black-clothed people, kneeling in front of Murong Fushun and Chen Lei uprightly.

Thirty people went out, and twenty-four people returned, not only did they not kill any of them, but they also broke the deputy leader, the black boss.

When he saw such a result, Chen Lei suddenly took the lead in accusing angrily: "Look at what you guys are doing, there are more than thirty people, you can't kill him Wang Xuance, don't you work hard to make a big deal, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

Listening to Chen Lei's incessant chatter and vicious words, these black-clothed people couldn't help but hold their breath.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lei scolded Murong Fushun again: "Look at you, you are a khan, and you have trained such a bunch of waste." As soon as these words came out, not only the choked Murong Fushun was speechless, but also ignited the flashpoint of this contradiction.

These black-clothed people, who had always been loyal to the Tuyuhun Khan, suddenly became unbearably angry. I saw that the person who led them stood up quite angrily, his eyes widened, and he stared at Chen Lei viciously.

As he got up, all the black-clothed men behind him also stood up; Following his steps, he squeezed this Chen Lei into the corner step by step. At this time, Chen Lei couldn't help but feel a lot of chills, and with timidity, he asked in a timid mood: "You, what do you want to do......

The leader squeezed him and said angrily with contempt: "Damn, we can't beat so many of us, why don't you try it." Even if you accuse us, you dare to accuse us Khan, who do you think you are? I'm afraid of you. Between the words, he raised his fist, ready to punch and kick Chen Lei.

As soon as Chen Lei saw that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly called for help to Murong Fushun! Murong Fushun glanced at him contemptuously, feeling that it was enough, and then scolded sharply: "Don't retreat yet." The group of black-clothed men looked at Fushun Khan, and then glanced at Chen Lei with disdain, and retreated in a huff.

Chen Lei, who came to his senses, straightened his clothes, walked in front of Murong Fushun, and opened his mouth to ask: "Khan, what do you think you should do about this?" ”

Murong Fushun put his hands behind his back and glanced at this villain with disdain from the corner of his eye. Suddenly he was angry, and at this time, he really wanted the brothers just now to go up and kick him a few times. What should I do if I ask him at this time? Didn't he pick it all out? Then angrily returned:

"It's all your bad idea, and now you don't have a plan to ask me, how can I know what to do, let's do it myself."

At this point, he understood that it was all over again. So, with a sense of loss, he turned around and left this house, walked in the direction of Minzhou City, and returned to Beijing to restore Li Jingheng's life.

And Fushun Khan also thought a lot because of this failed assassination: although the black boss broke six brothers, fortunately, Wang Xuance was fine, and the court should not pursue it too much. Although I really want to avenge my father, I think about it and forget it, all this is destiny. Looking at Chen Lei, who was leaving, he could only raise his head and sigh, and returned to this Tuyuhun King City with the man in black......

This Wang Xuance and this Khotanese prince and others entered this Minzhou city in this way. Settled in one of the largest local liquor stores, "Penglaiju". This friend has been living in Minzhou City for many years, and the merchants who come from the Western Regions always want to stay here. When they were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, there was such a person, it was none other than Chen Lei who landed in the shop......

saw this Chen Lei shouting loudly with a stomach full of grievances: "Shopkeeper, bring me an upper room." It was precisely because of such an incident that Chen Lei was very depressed, not only did he not notice the environment in the store, but he also did not pay attention to the existence of Wang Xuance and others. With his loud shouting, Wang Xuance and the others invariably turned their heads, looking for this familiar voice.

When the rivals meet, they are very red-eyed. When Zhou Zeng found out that it was this kid, he immediately got up and teased: "Hey, my General Chen, why are you here too?" ”

"Look at what you said, General Chen is my family, why can't he come?" Chen Maocai also sneered.

Chen Lei saw that it was the two of them, and then he was stunned for a moment, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Zeng first. Immediately afterward, he saw through his eyes that the snow goose also came over, and he could only hurriedly and respectfully salute the snow goose like a chicken that had lost its feathers.

But when the snow goose opened his mouth, he asked, "What are you doing here in Minzhou?" ”

Hearing this question, he suddenly spoke, and could only reply hesitantly: "I... I... Come... Come to Tuyuhun to do something".

The moment Wang Xuance saw him, he already had a premonition that these things seemed to be related to him; Listening to his words, looking at his shape, coupled with his vague expression, he already expected that this kid did this thing. Then he walked over and muttered a few words in Xue Yan's ear. But seeing this snow goose, he asked sharply: "We were chased and killed at noon, it was done by a group of Tuyuhun people, was it instructed by you!" ”

This Chen Lei suddenly knelt down with his legs weak, and hurriedly quibbled: "County Lord, this matter must not be a joke!" If that's the case, I'm really going to have to cut it with a thousand cuts. This time I came because of the official business arranged by the prince, so I came to inform the Khan of Fushun. ”

"Then why did you run away when you saw me, instead of coming to see me?"

This Chen Lei's brain was indeed turning fast, and at this critical moment, he suddenly calmed down. He already knew that although six of the Tuyuhun people had died, there was not the slightest evidence that they had seized him. This scene of encounter, it was a coincidence, which caused a slight weakness in my heart. So as soon as his eyes rolled, he pretended to be helpless and returned: "Isn't the little one afraid of you, I know that the county lord's fiery temper is not."

As soon as Xue Yan heard him, she suddenly lost her temper, after all, it was difficult to say anything without evidence.

This Chen Lei then smiled again, and said politely to everyone: "Since this is the case, then I won't stay in the store, hurry up and go back to give the prince his life." His eyes squinted at the snow goose, and he didn't object to her, and then hurriedly turned around and left the friend's house.

The moment I stepped out of the store, I didn't notice the door frame and hit it without paying attention. "Bang dang", the kid who hit him had gold stars in his eyes, causing everyone to laugh. Looking at his figure disappearing into the night, I only heard Xue Yan say: "Today's incident must have nothing to do with him, he won't come sooner or later, it's too much of a coincidence."

Wang Xuance followed Xue Yan's words, and then analyzed: "If it wasn't for him to do the best. If he did it, as soon as he leaves now, it means that we are safe. When he heard this, he saw that all the people looked at him with puzzled eyes.

After Wang Xuance let everyone sit down, he took a sip of wine and said: "Although this gang of black-clothed people is the same group as the black-clothed men who assassinated the county lord; But their target this time should be me, not the county lord. Although the trick of blaming others has long been used by them; But after all the calculations, they didn't calculate that we could be rescued by the prince. At this time, as soon as Chen Lei left, it meant that they no longer planned this matter. Because after this Minzhou, the road in the future is the land of my Tang Dynasty, and killing a court official here will have to bear a lot of responsibility and risk. ”

After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded again and again, feeling very reasonable. At this time, I saw that the prince of Khotan slapped his head, with a little worry in his melancholy, and sighed......
