Chapter 214: Embarking on the Road of Kings

"Where is this?"

"Hell."

"I'm not dead yet?"

"Dead, dead anymore."

The soft sunlight shone through the window on the bed, and Ji Lie lay on the bed, covered with wounded cloths, which were tied so strong that it was extremely difficult to even turn his neck, and at first glance it looked like a round silkworm. Kuai Wujian sat under the window, humming an unknown song while drinking, the sun shone on the jade crown on his head, and there were a few blood stains on his snow-white clothes, like plum blossoms, his demeanor was very pleasant, he took a sip of wine, sang a song, and glanced at Ji Lie, as for that look, it was quite complicated.

The big firebird was lying in the grass pile in the corner, and when he saw Ji Lie wake up, he raised his head and 'cooed' at Ji Lie.

Ji Lie struggled to turn his neck to look at it, poor big firebird, he was actually covered with wounded cloth like Ji Lie, and the hair on his neck was also shaved, and his expression was sluggish, like a chicken in soup. There was a big poisonous snake twisting around in the haystack, which was colorful and looked delicious. The big firebird stretched out its beak to peck the snake, if in the past, it must have been a peck, but now, it pecked a few times in a row and did not peck the snake to death, the snake was originally very scared, has been trying to escape, seeing that it could not kill itself, it actually raised its heart to fight with it. The sad firebird, now it can't even peck a snake to death, and it is wrapped around its neck, and its mouth can't stop bubbling, and it wants to hit the wall and die immediately.

"Alas......"

Kuai Wujian sighed, walked to the side of the haystack, and stabbed the big poisonous snake with a sword, the action was clean and neat, the sword was seven inches in the middle, the snake stood up twice, and its body softened. Kuai Wujian pulled his sword, picked out the snake gall, threw it in front of the big firebird, and then went back to the window and sat down to drink.

"The mythical bird is not as difficult as the chicken." Kuai Wujian took a sip of wine, and said in a strange way.

"Goo."

The big firebird looked at the snake gall in front of it and screamed aggrievedly, it didn't want to eat the food that came to it, but its stomach was really hungry, and even the cry was weak, so it quickly swallowed the snake gall into its stomach, and then buried its head under its wings, looking very ashamed.

Ji Lie wanted to sit up from the bed, but as soon as he straightened his waist, there was a pinprick pain on his waist, and the same was true on his shoulders and back, the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and his eyes were full of stars.

"If you don't want to die, you might as well lie down honestly." Kuai Wujian took a sip of wine.

"Goo." The big firebird stuck out its head from under its wings, barked at Ji Lie on the bed, and nodded.

"How's the war going?"

Ji Lie lay down, the bones on his back grinding against each other, and the pain made him squeak his teeth. There were at least seven or eight wounds on the body, some deep into the bones, some just skin wounds.

Kuai Wujian said: "Yurov has fled, and the danger of besieging the city has been resolved. ”

"You saved me?"

Ji Lie remembered, as his consciousness became deeper and deeper, he seemed to see Kuai Wuji, who jumped past him on a lame horse, followed by two hundred Chiyan swordsmen. However, at that time, Ji Lie thought it was just a hallucination before he died.

"You don't have to thank me, and you won't thank me anyway."

Kuai Wujian is not Ji Lie's retainer, nor is he Ji Lie's samurai, his relationship with Ji Lie is very delicate, everything he does is freewheeling, so he never takes credit or invites credit, but just looks at Ji Lie with those scrutinizing eyes, as if he wants to dissect Ji Lie and see it clearly.

Ji Lie closed his eyes, sweat soaked the wounds on his body, and gradually cooled down: "Why is Yurov here?" ”

"He is a deserter, and what a deserter wants is to live. Chen Hou is not a fool, you can threaten his grain channel by occupying Jingcheng, of course he will do everything possible to pull out your thorn in the eye and nail in the flesh. And it just so happens that you are not only blocking Chen Hou's way, but also Yurov's way, and the two people who are in despair will of course fight with you. Kuai Wujian said slowly.

Ji Lie nodded, if Yurov wants to go to Qi State, then there are only two roads, one is to enter the territory of Qi Country through Dayong, however, if you want to go that way, you must pass through the Guancheng of Song State, since Yurov has escaped, of course he will not go back. The other is to pass through the Wujian Gorge along the Qishan Mountain, and enter the Qi country through the Lu country, and Jingcheng happens to be on this necessary road.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill him."

Ji Lie's face was also wrapped in a wound cloth, and cold sweat soaked the wound cloth and flowed into the corners of his eyes, slightly painful, but he didn't blink.

"Pity? Is it a pity that a lost dog is used? ”

Kuai Wujian sneered: "What kind of enmity do you have with him?" It's worth your life. If it weren't for your life this time, you would have died. A dead man is not qualified to talk about pity. ”

Ji Yeol didn't speak, he replied to himself in his heart, no matter whether Yurov is a lost dog or not, no matter where he is, one day I will grab him, put my sword against his back, and poke the blade into the cracks of the bones. Let him comprehend the pain, and make him want to die immediately.

"Do you think you're a hero?"

Kuai Wujian waited for a while, and when he saw that Ji Lie didn't speak, he stood up, walked quickly to the bed, and looked down at Ji Lie condescendingly: "King Yin is a hero, but he was cut off by King Wuying, and now even his bones are rotten into slag." The White Wolf King is also a hero, and in the end, he is defeated by the enemy and abandoned by his own people. Who will remember them now? History is written by the victors, and in order to achieve ultimate victory, one must always live. The life and death of an ant are not important, but Ji Lie, your life and death are related to many people, see clearly, it is many people. ”

Ji Yeol still didn't speak.

Xu drank too much wine, and Kuai Wujian was speechless with excitement.

After a while, Ji Lie closed his eyes and said, "If I do it again, I will still do it." It has nothing to do with whether he is a hero or not, he is my enemy, and I must kill him. ”

Kuai Wujian said: "There can be many ways to kill people. When the puppet was angry, the blood was splashed five steps, the king was angry, and the dragon and snake were on the land. Ji Lie, have you ever wondered what you want? You were fighting hard with people in the fortress of the Ten Days, and at that time it could be said that you had to fight hard to survive, and you were desperate with the bandit kings in Huifeng Town, and it could also be said that you were fighting for survival and the future at that time. But now, what you've done can only be described in two words: stupid, stupid. People cannot be resurrected when they die, they are dead when they die, and when they die, they are nothing. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his neck turned red.

Ji Lie was silent and stopped talking.

Kuai Wujian said a lot, his mouth was a little thirsty, he raised the wine jug and drank it, but the more he drank, the more thirsty he became, and he choked and coughed constantly. The big firebird was secretly eating the internal organs of the big poisonous snake, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head to look at him. Kuai Wujian glared at the big firebird, and the big firebird quickly buried his head in his wings again, as if to say, Lao Tzu didn't move, Lao Tzu didn't eat.

Kuai Wujian sighed again, a long breath.

Ji Lie lay in bed for seven days, and on the eighth day, he was finally able to go to the ground, during this period, Kuai Wujian and Yin Yong would come to see him every day, Kuai Wujian would teach him every time while drinking, his tone was soft and sometimes hard, nothing more than telling Ji Lie, you are not a horseman, but a king, as for me, Kuai Wujian, that is the descendant of Mr. Guigu, of course I will not fancy a horseman, therefore, you must not be a horseman, even if you are a horseman now, you must learn to become a king. In this regard, Ji Lie has been silent, not because he is ashamed, but because he knows that Kuai Wujian is treating him sincerely, although Kuai Wujian will wave his sleeves every time and leave angrily, as if he will abandon him at any time. As for Mr. Yin, he is different from Kuai Wuji, he will never blame Ji Lie, he just looks at Ji Lie lightly, and returns to Ji Lie about the big and small things inside and outside Jingcheng, although he has made all kinds of decisions for Ji Lie, but he will tell Ji Lie everything. In this regard, Ji Lie remained silent, and he began to think, maybe I will really embark on a path of no return, no, to be precise, I have already walked on this road.

The sun rose, the big firebird staggered up from the grass, Ji Lie untied the wounded cloth on its wings, it bent its head and tore Ji Lie's chest, in the eyes of the big firebird, it didn't matter if he was a horseman or a king, as long as he was Ji Lie.

The great firebird flew up and pierced towards the sun in the sky, and the wound cloth on its neck was particularly conspicuous.

Ji Lie stood at the door and watched it fly higher and higher, until he could no longer see it, then walked back into the house, and with the help of two soldiers, put on the iron armor, which was still the same exquisite armor, the dents on it had been knocked out by the blacksmith, and the cracks had been repaired, and after wearing it, he looked tall and heroic. Of course, his face was still as pale as paper. Originally, he was supposed to lie in bed for a few more days, but he couldn't lie down, because in addition to the puppet and the king, he also had another identity, that is, the debtor.

Jiang Li is his creditor, and the debt is heavier than this armor. Kuai Wujian led two hundred Red Flame swordsmen to rush across Yurov's army of 10,000 people, although most of them were farmers, and only two or three thousand people could be called elite, however, they were 10,000 people with long legs and weapons, not 10,000 pigs to be slaughtered. After this incident, it is enough to prove the strength of the Chiyan swordsman, and the entire Dayong is only eight hundred Chiyan swordsmen, and Jiang Li lent him two hundred people at one time.

"She also gave me a gem."

Before leaving, Jiang Li gave Ji Lie something, it was a brilliant emerald, and now the gem was lying on Ji Lie's chest, reminding Ji Lie intentionally or unintentionally that he owed a lot of debt.

"Fate is a strange thing."

Ji Lie turned on the horse's back and touched his chest, because of the armor, he couldn't touch the gem, but he could feel its heat, it was a gem with warmth, put together with another gem, as for the other one, it was a cold gem, the two gems looked exactly the same, one cold and one cold, two seeds.
