In the early morning, a distant rooster crow, crisp and bright.

Chen woke up slowly, and the soft morning sunlight peeked through the cracks in the doors and windows of the dilapidated hut. The lazy Ling Chen didn't want to open his eyes.

Chen Zhi was secretly lucky, and found that after a night of recuperation, his internal injuries had healed most of them, but he still had a faint feeling of paralysis in his shoulder, but it seemed that it didn't matter, and he believed that it would not take long for him to recover completely.

Chen Zhi looked in a blink of an eye and saw Xu Ji leaning against the door of the thatched hut and already asleep, he got up and woke up Xu Ji and asked softly, "Lord, is it okay?" ”

Of course, Xu Ji didn't fall asleep, the worry in his heart made him dare not be negligent, but after a run, he was a little tired after all, so he accidentally fell asleep, and when he heard Chen Zhi's voice at this time, he was also sure in his heart, and then saw that Chen Zhi seemed to have recovered, and knew that he had another grasp of escape.

Outside the window, the sound of birdsong and running water was heard, and the sky was peaceful, like clouds. The sound alone is already lingering and not wanting to leave.

Xu Ji and Chen Zhi both knew that they must not stay here for too long.

The calm and serenity in front of us is nothing but a false phenomenon.

Nature and human society are different.

The evolution of nature has always taken care of the life and death of all things, and human beings have chosen a relative "truth" to promote the development of society.

Self-righteousness is really the greatest sorrow of mankind.

Why do humans always take care of one over the other? How many lessons are still to be learned?

Xu Ji's emotion is not for no reason, it is really a kind of subconscious self-blame in the bottom of his heart.

Just think about what happened yesterday, and a strong sense of self-blame and remorse wells up in my heart.

Although I still don't know the news of Lu Dao Wenpin and others. And Xu Ji guessed that Chen's blow would definitely not make Lu uncomfortable, and Lu Bu must have been injured. Therefore, there is still a glimmer of hope in Xu Ji's heart, but Xu Ji himself knows that he is delusional.

Who is Lu Bu? Even if he was injured by Chen Zhi. But it will definitely not be as serious as Chen Zhi's injury, as long as it is not a master of Chen Zhi's level or Guan and Zhang, it will be easy for Lu Buzhi to win.

Wen Ping and Lu Bu have fought each other, and it must be a matter of more than luck.

However, this mistake lies with me, and if I had thought about it more thoroughly, yesterday's incident could have been completely avoided.

However, Xu Ji did not have the slightest resentment towards Lu Bu in his heart at this time.

On the battlefield, everyone is their own master, and Lu Bu at least doesn't have so much intrigue and hatred. Xu Ji will also think of Zhang Ren, this despicable villain is really hateful.

For Lu Bu, aside from his shortcomings in life, whether it is Xu Ji's doubts, Chen Zhi always has a deep respect for his amazing martial arts. Especially after a vicious battle with Lu Bu yesterday.

Although Xu Ji is not a martial artist, he can also see that the gap between Chen Zhi and Lu Bu is no longer a matter of tricks or strength.

Frankly speaking, Lu Bu's "force" skills are really skillful, and they are beyond his own comparison.

Chen Zhi's force technique was also told to him, which was nothing more than a spiral force with a forward thrust force. It has a very strong rule, but the reason why Chen Zhi can easily win when fighting others is that even if the enemy already knows the characteristics of his martial arts, there is no way to resolve it.

Even with Dian Wei's skills, Dian Wei could only use his strength to attack Chen Zhi like a wild wounded beast to take the lead.

But Lu Bu is completely different. The variations of Fang Tian's painting halberd are endless.

Xu Ji suddenly remembered the unpredictable "Dugu Nine Swords" written by the later martial arts novelist Mr. Jin Yong. But Lu Bu's terrifying thing is not only the external tricks of Lu Bu's Fang Tian Halberd, but Lu Bu's own strength and skill are elusive. Therefore, the speed is immeasurable.

And Chen Zhi also said that if he wanted to defeat Lu Bu, there were only two ways, one was to learn Lu Bu's strength skills. Use more unpredictable strength and speed to defeat Lu Bu. However, this method is tantamount to changing his course, giving up the characteristics of his own martial arts and learning from others.

And this path is discouraged by just thinking about it, and martial arts have reached the realm of Chen Zhi. The pursuit of martial arts is no longer a tough encounter in the general sense, but has turned into a kind of original understanding of everything in the world.

Seeing through the internal and external laws of the enemy's martial arts and cracking them in an instant against the enemy is the dream that Chen Zhi and such a master diligently pursue.

This is tantamount to those physicists who are desperately pursuing the inner laws of the universe. It's long, it's tedious, it's hard, it's lonely, and it's even full of mistakes. More often than not, it's all about losing all the time.

There is a law to everything.

Chen Zhi's martial arts have been on his own path for a long time, and only if he continues to persist in this personal path, will he achieve a greater breakthrough, otherwise if he is affected by other things, or has an external desire, his skill will be greatly reduced, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This is as unrealistic as asking Lu Bu to give up Fang Tian's halberd and pick up Chen Dao's spear to learn Chen Dao's marksmanship.

The so-called "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly".

No matter how vigorous a bird is, it is impossible to swim in the water, and no matter how smooth a fish is, it is impossible to fly in the sky.

The other way Chen Zhi said is to continue on his own path.

This path seems to be a more impossible way to achieve than the first one, and in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Zhi has reached the peak of marksmanship, and it is difficult to make an inch.

But Chen Zhi would rather choose this path.

Xu Ji knew that it was not because Chen Zhi's greed made Chen Zhi unable to let go of his current martial arts achievements, but because Chen Zhi knew that Lu Dao's marksmanship and the laws of everything are generally never endless.

It's as if huge objects are made up of tiny molecules and atoms, which can be divided into nuclei and electrons.

Indeed, in Xu Ji's previous life, there was no way for the nucleus and electrons to be further separated. But anyone with common sense of science would never make the assertion that the nucleus of an atom is no longer divided.

In the macroscopic realm, "waves" are "waves" and "grains" are "grains", but light can have wave-particle duality.

There is always a narrow place in people's understanding. The more places that seem to have no way out, the more human beings are about to face breakthroughs and great discoveries.

As the saying goes, "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out." Another village"

Xu Ji couldn't be clearer about this truth. In this way, how can Chen Dao say that he has reached the end of his marksmanship?

Complaining is definitely not Chen Zhi's style.

And speaking of this, Chen Zhi's spirit couldn't help but cheer up, and Xu Ji also sighed in his heart and forced himself not to think about the life and death of Wen Ping and others, put aside all distractions and stood up, turned back to Chen Zhi and said, "Uncle Zhi, let's go!" ”

Chen Zhi, who heard Xu Ji's order, also picked up his spear and slowly pushed open the dilapidated firewood door of this hut.

Suddenly, a piece of sunlight shone on Chen Zhi's body,

The light coming through Chen Zhi's figure made Xu Ji a little unable to open his eyes. In this brilliance, Chen Zhi's back was shining golden, as mighty as a god.

Raising his eyes, Xu Ji was immediately overwhelmed by the beauty outside. The first thing in his ears was the sound of the "ding dong" of the mountain spring, which was mixed with the singing of cicadas and birds, and the surroundings were peaceful. I saw a mountain spring on the left rushing down from the hill behind this small village, the flowing water cheered on the stones, and the water splashed on the stones like silver, and the quiet small pool on the side was infused because of this mountain spring. Therefore, at the narrow inlet, the white waves roll like snow, swirling and splashing in the sun, which is very beautiful.

Looking around, this small village is surrounded by mountains. The wild trees hate the intertwined, and the strange emerges endlessly.

Lying on the dragon, the breeze is flowing water. The hill of Qingtan is ethereal and golden in the dazzling sunlight. A paradise of beauty.

And because the breeze blows the small pond and the spring chill blows on the face, Xu Ji's spiritual platform is refreshing. I feel that I have become one with this small mountain village, and my spirit is constantly soaring, just like this small mountain village has transcended the mundane. It's no longer owned by the world. At this time, Chen Zhi, who was in front of Xu Ji, also had a look of understanding.

In the breeze and sunshine, Chen Zhi's heart is ethereal, just like the lotus spirit platform under the Buddha's seat, which will not be stained with a trace of dust.

Later, Xu Ji learned from Chen Zhi's mouth that at that moment, he felt that countless understandings about his marksmanship and life came one after another, as if ten thousand clear springs flowed happily through his tired heart, and the freshness of the morning breeze made his heart like an anxious earth come alive again. At that moment, Xu Ji didn't bother, just stood quietly and watched.

After a while, Chen Zhi took a deep breath, then glanced nostalgically at the dilapidated hut where he had taken refuge last night, and then quickly but firmly turned around and walked towards the new world outside the door. Xu Ji naturally followed Chen Dao step by step at this time.

And looking at Chen Zhi's back, Xu Ji couldn't help but have a feeling in his heart: the past was just a life experience, not a heavy burden.

Sometimes forgetting is the best memory.

Turning grief into strength is the instinct of human life to be vigorous and upward.

I saw Chen Zhi pick up a gun, get on the horse, and then carry himself on the horse, and the two rode out of the village together.

At this time, Xu Ji had already put on the mask that the Phantom Elite had carefully made for himself.

As a result of their early years of exile, both Xu Ji and Chen Zhi have mastered a variety of camouflage techniques. And Chen Zhi himself also has some necessary tools for disguise.

For example, now, Chen Zhi has turned into a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. His shoulders and waist have been padded with some cushions that do not affect his movements.

As for the mouth, he has a fake beard, some false wrinkles on his forehead, his eyebrows are thicker, and his sideburns are dyed gray, and he looks about ten years older. And Xu Ji cleaned all the things that he had disguised and regained his original appearance, although he was a colt, few people recognized him, so naturally it was not a big problem.

And the war horse under Chen Zhi's crotch has been made into a yellow and white war horse by Chen Zhi with a special dye, and the spear in his hand has been divided into two pieces and hidden on the horse's body.

And the weapon on Chen Zhi's body was only an ordinary long sword on the surface. But so what? What weapon is in Chen Zhi's hands that is not a sharp weapon for killing?

It can be said that Chen's current image is very ordinary. It's just an older brother who fled with his "younger brother".

Of course, Chen Zhi knew what his most important task was now, the first was to protect Xu Ji's life, and the second was to find Liu Xie.

The problem is that now Chen Zhi has lost the source of information that he has always been most proud of. And having Xu Ji by his side still made him a little scrupled.

At the same time, what made Chen Zhi a little uncomfortable was in the past days. He has long been accustomed to planning and then acting, and the habit from Xu Ji has made him pay far more attention to intelligence than ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that when Xu Ji established the extremely powerful intelligence system of this era in Yanzhou, he did not doubt, but showed a high degree of support.

But now Xu Ji and Chen Zhi are almost isolated from the outside world. There is not a single source.

In times of change like war, a lot can happen in one night.

Although Chen Zhi has already put on makeup. However, he had no way to ask others what was going on outside Chang'an City, because it was impossible for ordinary people to know about this matter, and if they asked the officers and soldiers, they would immediately arouse the suspicion of others.

And I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Xu Ji has an intuition, that is, Shi A will definitely bring Liu Xie out safely, and will definitely not let Liu Xie fall into Wang Yun's hands again.

If Liu Xie fell into the hands of Wang Yun, I was afraid that Wang Yun would immediately declare himself in the name of the emperor as a rebellious minister and thief who everyone would be punished. By then, in this era of prestige. Don't say that you have lost the opportunity and qualification to obtain the "imperial order", I am afraid that the princes of the world will take advantage of the situation to attack you.

Liu Xie is an incompetent person, and he will never take anyone to heart, as long as he can keep his name and throne, he can do anything, which has been obvious on the way to escape.

Therefore, if Wang Yun finds Liu Xie, he is afraid that without Wang Yun's threat, he will take the initiative to announce to the world that he is a rebel.

Vaguely remember that Wang Yun in history is not in Li? Did he suffer such treatment when he attacked Chang'an?

Liu Xie is such a person.

The long court life has made this promising and promising child obscene. Therefore, such a person must not fall into the hands of others and become a tool to attack himself.

Dian Wei also worried Xu Ji, and Xu Ji couldn't be sure what Dian Wei was doing now. He has not heard from him for so long, Dian Wei must have known what happened to Lu Dao, if Dian Wei was smart enough, he should not go back to rescue him.

As long as Wang Yun doesn't catch himself one day, he can't find Liu Xie. Yanzhou can push the matter of robbing Liu Xie completely. Anyway, there is no proof of death.

If Dian Wei returns to the rescue, it is tantamount to not recruiting himself.

However, Xu Ji has deep confidence in Dian Wei, although this rough man seems to be a little honest, but he is a lively person. Although the situation is difficult to understand now, as long as his prediction is good, Jia Xu must have planned everything for himself. Therefore, Xu Ji will definitely analyze the situation in front of him clearly, and know where he should go.

Fortunately, it was Dian Wei who led the troops. If it were replaced by Leyi's reckless man, I am afraid that I would have already returned to attack Chang'an City without knowing whether to live or die.

So let's talk about it. As long as he doesn't die, and Liu Xie is in hand, this war will be considered a victory.

Before leaving the village, the two met a group of officers and soldiers, which were a pair of well-equipped cavalry, and they could tell by looking at their clothes and weapons that they were troops sent from Chang'an City. Regardless of the question, their goal is themselves.

Of course, Chen Zhi will not take these shrimp soldiers and crab generals to heart, the problem is that Chen Dao doesn't know where he is now, and it is really inconvenient to do it easily with Xu Ji by his side, and it is a question where the two of them will run after cleaning up this group of officers and soldiers.

and the two of them spent the night in this small mountain village without incident, but this group of officers and soldiers looking for themselves had already arrived here early in the morning, and their faces were not dusty, it seemed that Chang'an City was not far away, thinking of this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart. Of course, Xu Ji also noticed this.

Chen Zhi once again reminded himself not to show his feet because of carelessness, and accidentally attracted Lu Bu, the plague god, and his plan to protect Xu Ji back to Yanzhou became even more difficult.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were gradually approaching, Xu Ji reacted very quickly and pretended to be anxious because he was lost, signaled Chen Zhi to meet the officers and soldiers, and when he was about to get closer, he got off his horse, walked forward quickly, pretended to be surprised, and shouted: "God, it can be regarded as meeting people, or I don't know what to do." ”

The sudden appearance of Chen Zhi, a big man, with a young man, of course attracted the attention of this group of officers and soldiers, and they were all secretly vigilant, but they saw Xu Ji and Chen Zhi both getting off the horse, so they relaxed their vigilance a little.

One of the cavalrymen at the head said in a full official tone: "The people in front of me should stop, otherwise I will give the order to release the arrows!" ”

Everywhere there was a sycophant, and as soon as the little leader spoke, a man behind him stepped forward, immediately drew his bow, and pretended to put on a bow and arrow.

Xu Ji couldn't help but scold in his heart: he dared to pretend in front of Lao Tzu, it was like getting a big axe in front of Lu Ban, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

On the surface, he pretended to be panicked, and stopped suddenly, Chen Zhi also cooperated to untie the sword on his body from his waist, Xu Ji saw this scene and immediately started acting, and immediately said in a trembling voice: "Master Guan, spare your life." ”

When the officers and soldiers saw him like this, they were even more relieved and came to his side one after another. It is to observe the white young man and the scumbag-faced man in front of him. After a while, they shook their heads in disappointment.

Xu Ji secretly turned his head and glanced at Chen Zhi, signaling that he was ready to do it at any time, and Chen Zhi also blinked to show his understanding, but his body was extremely relaxed from the outside.

The leader of the officers and soldiers looked at Xu Ji with great vigour, raised his voice and said slowly, "Who are you?" Where are you going? ”

Xu Ji hurriedly gave the answer he had already prepared honestly, and pretended to be sincerely frightened and said: "Back to the master, the villain is from Runan, this is my brother, our two brothers came out to make a living because their hometown was too hard, but because they had not gone far away, they came here and got lost, and there was no one here, when there was no way, your old man arrived, you can show me a clear way!" ”

Xu Ji and Chen Zhi's appearance was clumsy and funny, which attracted the attention of all the officers and soldiers.

Looking at Xu Ji, who looked like him, the leader of the officers and soldiers suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Who are you?" It's not really recruited! ”

Xu Ji was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't know that he had exposed his feet. (To be continued......)
