Chapter 3 The world is different, and conspiracies are numerous

After so many years of getting along, Chu Zhihuai understood what the young man was thinking in his heart, and persuaded: "As for escorting this little prince, you can also see that the so-called sneak attacks are all tricks, since his goal is about to be achieved, then there should be no major problems along the way, and the court has already made a plan, and has sent someone to meet you halfway, so you don't have to worry too much about your life." ”

"Oh, who have you sent? But there are cultivators?"

When Chu Zhihuai heard this, he helplessly held his forehead: "I can't say for sure, I just said that we will meet in the area of Wandang Mountain, and they will be waiting for you at the largest intersection at that time." Then he asked in a complicated mood: "Stinky boy, are you still so persistent in cultivation?

"That's nature, and being a practitioner is my greatest wish in life. ”

Zhang Xiaoxian said wistfully that since he happened to see the book "The Beginning of the Qi Realm" from the used bookstall in the town market, he was deeply attracted by the mysterious realm described in it, and then it was as if the vigorous desire buried in a corner of his heart was finally hooked up and out of control.

Since then, he has been completely obsessed with the so-called cultivation, but unfortunately, he has lived in the barren mountains and mountains with the dead ghost father since he was a child, living a life of isolation, and later entered the border army camp, and mingled with those soldiers and ruffians all day long.

The Song Kingdom is a martial country, most of the people are to self-cultivation and physical fitness study martial arts to serve the family and the country, to be able to make merit in the court in the name of the ultimate goal, practice, although it is also considered martial arts, but for most people with mediocre qualifications, it is a long and distant unknown road, so there are not many people who really want to embark on this road.

Because it is not easy to see, any cultivator in the kingdom who has some cultivation will be treated with the highest courtesy once he shows up.

Because they are no longer ordinary people strictly speaking, but an existence that is beyond the reach of many ordinary people.

On the bed in the corner of the room, there was a slight sound of bustling, Zhang Xiaoxian knew that the person lying on the bed was not asleep, or only took a nap for a while, and realized in the haze that the familiar snoring sound in the past had not sounded, so he woke up again.

"You say, how about we go to the capital to live, and then live in a very spacious courtyard with many servants......" Zhang Xiaoxian asked seemingly casually.

The other party didn't answer for a long time, Zhang Xiaoxian thought that he might have fallen asleep again, or didn't hear it at all, just turned over, and wanted to close his eyes, but heard Zhang Linzi come over with a strange trembling voice: "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow, Lao Chu said that the sooner the better......"

"Good!" a word that could not have been shorter, and the conversation ended with great significance and extreme simplicity.

I didn't ask why I went, I didn't ask where I was going to live in a compound with many servants.

Zhang Xiaoxian's reaction to the other party was not much strange, because his brother was a man of few words, although today's reaction was indeed a little strange.

The night was even deeper, and Zhang Xiaoxian's extremely familiar snoring sound finally came from the simple couch in the corner, and the young man twisted his body to the inside, lay down and turned his head to look at the direction where the snoring came from, and suddenly sighed heavily.

Seven years ago, when he was only eight years old, his father Zhang Xingshan braved the scorching heat to take him and Xiaoxian all the way to this small town called Yuancheng and found the captain.

And entrusted the two of them to him, Zhang Linzi still vaguely remembered the situation at that time, his father was already terminally ill, and it was about to happen, his father took Xiao Xian out, leaving him alone, and said something that shocked him, and these words invisibly became a mountain, weighing heavily on his shoulders.

He had long known that he and Xiao Xian would have to go to the capital sooner or later, and he also understood that the reason why his father did this was to give them the opportunity to take revenge, and this revenge had a huge premise, that is, he had to protect himself in the case of being foolproof.

Zhang Xingshan definitely didn't want anything to happen to his two sons, especially Zhang Xiaoxian......

When the morning sun began to rise in the sky east of the mound, several carriages had stopped in the middle of the road in the town of Yuancheng, the first one was the little prince of the Yue Ji Kingdom, and the other was Zhang Linzi, who was disabled, and there were several large stacks of books and some other miscellaneous items.

Zhang Xiaoxian and Cao Wentao, the deputy lieutenant of the border army, led the horse and stood at the front, and this escort was for them to complete together.

Some of the border residents of the small town of Yuancheng had already heard the news and stood on both sides of the road, this time they were even more emotional than the day Xiao Shizi was captured, and it seemed that they were almost celebrating with drummers.

What does it have to do with us? But Zhang Xiaoxian, who makes people hate and itch his teeth, is about to leave Chucheng and may never come back, and this is what they care about the most and have complicated feelings.

"Actually, it's not bad to think about this kid, I heard that he is the one who kills the most enemies in the border army......" Someone looked at Zhang Xiaoxian, who was standing in front of the convoy and talking to people, said.

When the person standing next to him heard this, he immediately snorted and said, "Don't you remember how our children couldn't get out of bed for several months after being beaten by him? ”

"Remember, how could I forget, just because our kid laughed at his brother who couldn't walk and shoved him a few times, and the little bastard went crazy when he found out......"

"So, it's better for such a Yama to go. ”

At this time, an older man standing next to them said with a complicated expression: "I have not been beaten by him, and this kid was still in my flock when several hungry wolves who came down the mountain to find food were about to be bitten to death, it was he who saw and quickly killed those hungry wolves, and as for those wolves, he finally skinned them and made mattresses, and the meat was taken to the barracks to eat." ”

"Then you should be grateful to him......"

"Yes, I should be grateful to him instead of afraid of him, but you didn't see him fighting with some wolves at that time, as if he was crazy, especially when he accidentally tripped under his feet, and when the wolves rushed up and pounced on him and were about to tear him apart, his eyes turned blood-red in an instant, and his face turned black, like ...... It was as if possessed by a demon, and the wolf was punched to death one by one with his bare hands, and it was so penetrating that I couldn't help but tremble when I saw him later. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw that the carriage in the middle of the road suddenly began to move, and Zhang Xiaoxian and the lieutenant were already on their horses, and they finally set off......

In the camp tent of the Captain Bian, Captain Zhaowu, who was determined not to go out to see them off, was pacing back and forth irritably, but his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the convoy from time to time.

"These two stinky boys ......" I said these words back and forth repeatedly and helplessly, countless times, and then my eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

Seven years of care, although it is to complete the old friend's deathbed, but in these thousands of days and nights, the family relationship they have established makes him feel reluctant to come to the bottom of his heart at this time.

"I hope you both can be comfortable and live in peace!" Finally, he said something different from the previous one, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat or tears from his cheeks.

......

In the west hall of the Imperial Palace of the Yue Kingdom, the monarch Nguyen Van Cang was helplessly comforting the stunning woman who was beautifully dressed but had tears on her cheeks.

"Concubine Ai, don't be sad, although the reason why Che'er did this is a little confusing, but you and I have always known what kind of temperament he is, and he will never do meaningless and uncertain things, I believe that this time there must be a reason why he can't say it to outsiders......"

"What's the reason, I can't say to my closest father, the princess and the princess, that he was captured by the border army of the Song State and that he was worried about his life, do you think I can not be in a hurry? Che'er was born after I was pregnant for two years, how difficult it is to have this son, you know it, but now-now...... Woohoo......"

As the saying goes, a woman's tears are the sharpest weapon in the world for men, and this is true at this time. Don't worry, although Che'er was captured this time, she was not injured at all, and I have personally written a letter to the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, saying that all this is just a misunderstanding, although the two countries of the Great Song Dynasty do not have much friendship, but they have not torn their faces on the surface, I estimate that the Song side will definitely consider the seriousness of this matter, and it will not be difficult for us Che'er, maybe after some time, our Che'er will be sent back safely!"

"Is that really the case?"

"Definitely, hmph, although the Great Song Kingdom has been prosperous on the surface over the years, in fact, it has long been reckless, I believe that their emperor will not dare to do anything to Che'er! Besides, I have already sent someone to sneak to the Song Kingdom to secretly protect Che'er, you can rest assured!"

When the beautiful woman heard this, her face slowed slightly.

While the monarch of the Yue Turk and his concubine were talking about how to protect their beloved son, in the palace on the other side of the palace, a conspiracy was brewing in full swing......

......

The convoy, which was protected by many soldiers and rushed to the capital day and night, had been traveling for more than ten days, and the road was quite calm, except for a small breakdown in a carriage that was delayed for two hours, nothing special happened.

It was getting dark, and Cao Wentao, the deputy lieutenant of the border army who was responsible for protecting Xiao Shizi with Zhang Xiaoxian, proposed to go to the town not far in front to find an inn and rest well, after all, I haven't had a good night's sleep these days, take a hot bath, relieve everyone's fatigue, and concentrate on the road tomorrow.

When Zhang Xiaoxian heard this, he immediately objected, saying that they must not slack off until they are safely sent to the capital.

"Zhang Xiaoxian, this is escorting prisoners in our Great Song Kingdom, do you think that there will be a large army of the enemy country to attack us?"

"Brother Cao, although the situation you said is probably impossible to happen, no one can guarantee that there will be no other accidents, in short, everything must be careful. ”

"The little kid knows that people are worried, where is the strength that you are not afraid of when you kill bandits on the battlefield?"

"It's not a question of being afraid or not, it's always good to prevent it before it happens......"

Looking at the stubborn and resolute appearance of the little guy standing in front of him, Cao Wentao, who loved him a lot, twitched the corners of his mouth a little, and after cursing, he no longer insisted.
