"You ...... Why did you kill the prince of Chu?! It's over, it's over! The Chu people will definitely not let us go, what can we do in Jimo City now! Ma Ba was annoyed.

"What, is General Ma still waiting for reinforcements from the Chu State?" Shen Heqi said.

"Oh, of course!" Ma Ba was taken aback, as if he had lost his soul, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the Chu people have already taken refuge in the Yan people, how can they come to save us?" ”

Ye Shaoyun and the others glanced at each other, and they all felt that Ma Ba's statement was a little strange, but they couldn't find the reason.

"Hey, this road doesn't lead to the palace, does it?" Wen Tong said suddenly.

The royal palace of Jimo City is located in the center of the city, and everyone enters through the east gate, which should go southwest, but all the way is in the northwest direction, which is contrary to the palace.

"General Ma, are you a road idiot? You don't want to send us to the gates again, do you? "Wen Tong has completely lost his patience.

"Ahh Ma Ba was still in his thoughts, and when he heard the word "city gate", he was startled again, and hurriedly said: "Little brother misunderstood, Gongzi has just experienced a big war, and the people are frightened, of course the last general will send you to Gongzi's house for a short rest." As for the king's side, the last general has already sent someone to report it, and I believe that soon the king will come in person to welcome the prince into the palace. ”

"That's pretty much it." Wen Tong accepted this reason and was slightly relieved.

"Childe, that ......" Ma Ba suddenly turned to Tian Ziyun and said apologetically: "The Yan people have just withdrawn, and there are still many things to deal with at the north gate...... I'm afraid that something will go wrong. Ahead is Childe's 'Pingsong Mansion', otherwise, a certain general will send Childe here, right? ”

"Huh?" Ye Shaoyun was a little surprised, but immediately nodded, summoned the two swordsmen beside him, and ordered: "Just now when we fled for our lives outside the city, some brothers were shot off their horses and were seriously injured, but maybe some of them still have a breath, you just followed General Ma out of the city and rescued those brothers." ”

"No!"

"This ......" Ma Ba hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Childe, the general will arrange it himself." If nothing else, the general will take his leave! ”

After that, Ma Ba led Ye Shaoyun's two swordsmen and hurried to the north of the city.

"Just go, this person is really strange!" Wen Tong clasped his hands and squinted.

Oops, Wen Tong was suddenly pushed the back of the head, and one stumbled forward, almost falling off the horse.

"There are too many words to save you, and you don't lead the way!" Ye Shaoyun withdrew his right hand and scolded with a smile.

"Ah, yes, Childe! Wen Tong was wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Wen Tong shouldn't just scold this fat man, Wen Tong even scolded his father, who told his father to give birth to such a big idiot."

"Where is he stupid?" Ye Shaoyun asked.

"Hmm......" Wen Tong looked up and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason for a long time, so he simply said: "Hey! I don't know where it's stupid, it's stupid anyway! Who called him how unflattering! It's stupid, it's stupid! ”

"I can't think of it, aren't you stupid?" Ye Shaoyun and the others laughed.

Wen Tong smiled and did not refute.

For some reason, although he had just broken free from the hands of Yan Ren's death, Wen Tong was very happy in his heart all the way.

He thought that maybe it was because Childe had woken up, which made him feel that there was hope for everything again.

But it doesn't seem to be exactly? Maybe it's because the current son is much more cheerful than before?

As long as he sees Childe happy, Wentong is naturally happy.

Speaking of Wen Tong, he was originally a slave that Tian Ziyun bought back at the market seven years ago.

At that time, Wentong was only five years old, his parents were dead, and he was helpless and fell into the hands of human traffickers. Tian Ziyun saw that Wen Tong was pitiful, so he bought Wen Tong back, accompanied him to study and practice swords, and let Wen Tong have a place.

At that time, the literary boy experienced a miserable childhood, was withdrawn, silent, and didn't even know how to serve people.

Fortunately, Tian Ziyun treated people kindly, and Wentong's heart opened up little by little, and he began to accept a new life and a new world.

If Childe dies, his world must have collapsed, right? - Wen Tong thought so.

As if he didn't feel the crisis of Jimo City at all, Wen Tong happily led the way, humming a little song from time to time.

Ye Shaoyun naturally didn't know what Wen Tong was thinking, he was wondering about some of Ma Ba's behaviors at this time.

Exercising in the army all year round has made Ye Shaoyun's observation far better than ordinary people.

Ma Ba is by no means a "fool" as Wen Tong said, on the contrary, he is an unusually shrewd character.

Before Shen He said Xiong Yi's death, Ma Ba was indifferent, as if he was intentionally or unintentionally asking Ye Shaoyun and others about something. But since learning of Xiong Yi's death, Ma Ba began to be shocked, obviously shocked.

But is Xiong Yi's death worth such a shock?

Haven't the Chu people betrayed?

What impact does killing a prince of Chu have on the situation?

"Childe's question, when Li Cai comes back, maybe there will be a clue." Shen He said suddenly.

Li Cai was one of the doormen who followed Ma Ba out of the city to find a partner just now, and among the many doormen, his skills were only below Shen He.

Ye Shaoyun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his mind to be guessed by Shen He, the more he felt that Shen He was a rare talent.

He suddenly remembered that the black bull in the Chiyan Army in the past was somewhat similar to Shen He, and he wanted to pat Shen He on the shoulder to express his chest, but found that Shen He's broken arm was facing him, and he had no way to start, and Shen He's right shoulder was also stuck with an arrow, and there was nowhere to shoot, so he couldn't help laughing immediately.

Shen He understood Ye Shaoyun's meaning from Ye Shaoyun's eyes, but he didn't shy away from it, and laughed loudly.

……

Ye Shaoyun and the others walked a small half way, and finally arrived in front of a mansion.

The courtyard of the mansion is empty, and there are two huge stone beasts, which are extraordinary, and they are rich and noble at first glance.

The door of the mansion is closed, and there are three big characters hanging "Pingsong Mansion" right above, which are vigorous and powerful, which are given by the King of Qi himself.

Bang bang bang, Wen Tong pulled up the two door knockers with both hands and knocked desperately: "Ji Bo, Ji Bo, come and open the door!" Guess who's back? ”

Bang bang, before the room could answer, there was a quick knock on the door.

"Jiber!" Wen Tong put his mouth to the crack in the door and shouted excitedly: "I haven't come back for half a year, are you old and confused, and you can't hear it knocking so loudly?" ”

Ye Shaoyun couldn't help but sigh, even he could feel the joy of Wentong's return home.

It's just that everyone waited for a while, but no one came to open the door.

"Will Ji Bo hear the news and go to the north gate to pick up his son?" Wen Tong paced back and forth, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "There won't be a single person left in the house, is it?" ”

"Not a single ...... left?"

Wen Tong's voice became lower and lower, and he looked at Ye Shaoyun in surprise.

At this time, there were three people who followed behind Ye Shaoyun, except for Shen He.

Everyone had long felt that something was wrong, so they dismounted one after another, holding their breath and concentrating, waiting for Ye Shaoyun's orders.

I saw Ye Shaoyun's eyes move, three of them pointed on tiptoe, drew their swords in an instant, and within a few steps, they had already jumped onto the walls on both sides and landed quietly in the courtyard.

"Childe, I'll go in too, right?" Wen Tong was a little anxious when he saw that he was not included.

Although his skills are not as good as these doormen, he has followed Tian Ziyun to learn swords since he was a child, and he has a few strokes, so he naturally hopes to share his worries for his son from time to time.

Ye Shaoyun ignored it, he stared at the Pingsong Mansion in front of him, and then looked at the courtyard around him, his mind suddenly flashed, and he shouted: "Shen He, you guard the front door, Wentong, follow me to the backyard!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Shaoyun had already reined in his horse and rushed out.

"Ah, Childe, wait for me!" Wen Tong couldn't get on the horse, so he simply held the long sword and ran all the way, following behind Ye Shaoyun, and the speed was not much different.

One person and one horse, galloping through the streets and alleys.

The streets of Jimo City are complicated.

Since the "Guan Zhong Reform" of the Qi State, the kings of the Qi Kingdom have respected the merchants, the construction of Daxing Shifang, and the road layout of the city has also changed from a mud road to a bluestone road distributed vertically and horizontally, and the shape is like a "well" word that connects with each other.

And because Jimo City is located in Jiaodong, Jiaodong is the main production area of sea salt in Qi State, and Jimo City is the largest city in Jiaodong, with prosperous business and trade exchanges, developed economy, and the construction of the city is second to none.

The roads of Jimo City are criss-crossed, and they have been built like a net, intertwined in every corner of Jimo City, even the people who live in Jimo City all year round are easy to get lost.

In less than a moment, Ye Shaoyun had already rushed to the backyard of the Pingsong Mansion, and suddenly stood up with his horse and let out a horse roar.

"Childe, slow down...... Wen Tong ran around, panting, and was about to hold on to the wall and walk slowly, when he found that Tian Ziyun tightened the reins of the horse again, and rushed out with a bang.

The shadow of the horse turned to the right, and disappeared in an instant, and the sound of the horse's hooves became farther and farther away, as if it was heading for the front door.

"Childe, wait...... Wait for me! Where can Wen Tong catch up, he can only hold his breath and run forward desperately.

"Alas, I knew that the horse was coming, and the two-legged one, how could the four-legged one run fast!" Wen Tong complained, but as soon as his body turned around, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and before he could speak, a powerful big hand instantly pressed his mouth!
