Chapter 25: Chu Guoxing

of the long wind

The autumn wind of the grass fills the border city, the dust and smoke are urgent, and the sorrowful man leans on the window and is emaciated, where to find the dust.

In late autumn, the red leaves are long, outside the southern country, under the city gate, a carriage comes slowly, the curtain is tightly closed, the guard guarding the city gate stopped the carriage, the person sitting in front of the carriage took out a token from his arms and handed it over, the guard saw the token and hurriedly saluted to make way, and the carriage went out of the city smoothly.

This is the last city in the south, and even if you leave the territory of the south after leaving this gate, this scenery of the south will end here.

In the carriage, a middle-aged man with bright eyes sat with a long sword in his hand, and sitting next to him was a five-year-old boy, dressed plainly, with a thin face, bowing his head and saying nothing, his expression was gloomy, but it was difficult to hide the special aura on his body.

Before the carriage left the city gate, the boy finally couldn't hold back his emotions, quietly lifted the corner of the curtain behind him and looked out, his eyes were longing to find something, outside the curtain was the crowd that was gradually receding in front of him, the scene outside the city that was gradually receding, and he didn't see familiar people, he didn't see it.

He sighed, his little face full of loss, his hand pulling the edge of the curtain and refusing to put it down, he thought, maybe the next time he looked, he would definitely see the person he wanted to see, the man next to him pulled his hand away and shook his head at him.

The carriage gradually moved away, and embarked on the road to Chu State, the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared, above the city gate, a beautiful woman quietly watched the carriage leave, and there was a little girl beside her, the beautiful woman's eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time, her eyes kept moving with the carriage, until she could no longer see the carriage, but she still looked into the distance.

"Master, are you really not going to send off the Seventh Highness? The slave maid saw that His Royal Highness the Seventh had lost a lot of weight, "The little girl held the beauty with both hands and asked her worriedly.

These days, the master has been following the carriage of the Seventh Highness, he can't eat well and sleep, and he has lost a lot of weight, and I don't know why the master didn't send the Seventh Highness in person, and he was obviously worried and couldn't sleep all night.

"He still has a long way to go, and his mother will not always stay by his side, and he must say goodbye to each other for thousands of miles, just send it here, not to mention, I don't have a customs order" At this moment, the beautiful woman standing on the city gate and watching the carriage go away is the Yixiang beauty in the south, and the carriage that went away just now is the person and horse who escorted the seventh prince Mu Changfeng to Chu State.

In fact, Yixiang followed the carriage all the way, and she also accompanied him through the meal, and Mu Changfeng never found out that she saw her off all the way behind the carriage.

Changfeng, unconsciously, it has been sent here, and the rest of the time can only rely on yourself, your mother is not by your side, everything must be cautious, Yixiang Beauty has tears in her eyes, and her hand hidden in her sleeve is holding a token.

The autumn breeze is bleak, the beauty has an appointment, the mother is kind, accompanied by the end of the world, this picturesque late autumn, witnessing this parting, in the falling leaves, the beauty tears into a poem.

Traveling far away in late autumn is not conducive to people, not to mention going to a place so far away in Chu State, horses walk hard, and on the road, people are also prone to illness, especially children like Mu Changfeng, Ye Qiuke was worried all the way, but he still accidentally let Mu Changfeng catch a cold.

Mu Changfeng had a high fever on the road, it was really not easy to move forward, Ye Qiuke settled in a small town, planning to let Mu Changfeng's fever go away and then go on the road, all kinds of caution and disguises along the way, but it still fell short, when Ye Qiuke went out to find a doctor to see Mu Changfeng, their whereabouts were exposed.

That night, a group of masked black-clothed people surrounded the entire inn, killing all the guests who had nothing to do with the inn, and approached Ye Qiuke and his party, Ye Qiuke had already prepared, and the bodyguards escorted this time were all personally selected by him, and all the people originally arranged by the southern country were replaced, so the people who were now fighting with the enemy only obeyed him.

Even if the martial arts are high and the preparation is sufficient, the number of Ye Qiuke is limited after all, but the number of enemies is increasing, after a hard battle, Ye Qiuke and his party are gradually forced to a dead end, just when everyone is going to do their best to fight, suddenly I don't know where a few more people in black came out, and their skills are very good, and their target is the enemy, which is really helpful.

Mu Changfeng has been in a high fever, lying on the bed, listening to the movement of fighting and killing outside, there are too many enemies, uncle and they can't resist at all, he thought that he would definitely die here, but later, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into a coma in a high fever.

Mu Changfeng had a dream, dreaming that he was sick, his mother hugged him and cried, tears fell on his face, when he was uncomfortable, his mother hugged him and hummed a song, fed him medicine, and the mother in the dream was very gentle.

When he woke up, Mu Changfeng found that he was in the carriage, his fever had subsided, and his body was already much better, Ye Qiuke told him that since everyone's whereabouts were exposed, it would be easier for the enemy to find them, and he had to speed up to reach the Chu Realm, otherwise he didn't know how many dangers he would face along the way.

The road is long, the danger is silent and endless, the enemy who pursued him seems to be ambushed all the way, the road of more than ten days is like a flight, Changfeng listens to those swords colliding every day, listens to those moans, gradually gets used to it, his heart slowly hardens, he counts the knuckles of his fingers, counts one hand, and finally arrives at the realm of Chu.

"This is the state of Chu, where I want to live in the future" Changfeng got out of the carriage, stood outside the gate of the border city of the state of Chu, and looked back at the road, the wind and dust had already submerged those horseshoe prints, and no trace could be found.

After entering the mirror land of Chu State, passing through thirteen cities, and arriving at the palace of Rong'an City, you can really stop, and now everyone is still in danger, although the enemy outside may have given up the pursuit, but they dare not guarantee that there are no people mixed in the mirror of Chu State, so even if you go to Chu State, you can't relax your vigilance.

Thirteen cities, thirteen dangerous roads, non-stop, day and night, finally arrived at Rong'an City, Mu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief for himself, Rong'an City of Chu State, this is Rong'an City, I heard my mother say it once, it turned out to be here, Changfeng looked up at a few big characters outside the city gate, and after recognizing it clearly, he slowly entered the city with Ye Qiuke.

When Sun Yuting, the prince of Chu, came to pick up Changfeng, a strange feeling appeared on his body again, a sense of danger filled his body, Changfeng felt that he was being stared at, just like every time before, he saw the kind of gaze staring at the prey from the crowd, and before he could speak, the other party had already made a move.

"Huh..."The sword of a masked killer stabbed directly at Changfeng, his body was stiff, unable to dodge, these killers almost killed themselves every time, and now, with Sun Yuting, the prince of Chu, and his uncle by his side, more killers attacked him, and those were more dangerous.

"Huh..."Changfeng saw a long black arrow flying in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to block it with his arm, who knew that someone shot a golden arrow from behind him, the arrow stopped the black arrow, and even pierced it, what a powerful archery, he turned to look over, a boy in a dark green robe was pulling the bow and crossbow, he was about the same age as himself, no matter how you look at it, it is unbelievable.

With heroic sword eyebrows, a little sand between his eyebrows, a high crown of hair, and a quiver behind him, he stood behind him like a chivalrous man.

Mu Changfeng looked at the people around him who were fighting for himself, and then looked at the little boy, his focused eyes, his skillful skills, his strength that couldn't last long, unwilling but stubborn, this boy, obviously he was also a boy, he knew nothing, he didn't know anything, why did so many people protect themselves?

Mu Changfeng was deeply in pain, and he didn't even notice the arrow shot at him, until a faint Zhilan fragrance wafted in, and he felt that someone had pushed him.

"Be careful..."Suddenly, the boy panicked, and before everyone could react, he saw his petite figure rushing to him, blocking the black arrow with his thin arm, hearing that the king of Chu said that it was called the black feather poison arrow, Mu Changfeng watched the boy fall blankly.

The pale little face, the lip flap that lost its bloody color because of the injury, the blood flowing from the arm made the dark green sleeves blacken, the petite body fell down, lying in the arms of the king of Chu, Ye Qiuke said that the arrow was poisonous, Mu Changfeng's body trembled, he, it was really useless, and the people around him were injured again.

Heavy palace gates, walking through the corridors and alleys, Changfeng followed Ye Qiuke quietly, feeling that he had been walking for a long time, he was anxious and scared, even if he arrived in the palace, he still didn't dare to go in to see the boy, he had been guarding the door, going in and out of the palace, going to the palace doctor again, everyone's expressions were so flustered.

The same scene seems to have happened, in my memory, Qianyinxuan's Gong'e was infected with the plague and she was sick, at that time, there was only her mother and herself in the entire Qianyinxuan, and there were a few infected Gong'e, no one helped them, no right to seek medical treatment, no attention to her mother's pleading, and even the opportunity to go out did not exist.

Many pictures flashed in Changfeng's mind, those blurry pictures that were almost forgotten by himself, it turned out that he had been taken care of by his mother like him, and it turned out that the care and protection he had been longing for were just plain.

In the night of Chu State, there was a cool breeze, and in winter, there were very few people walking around in the palace, especially in the Zhilan Palace, without Ye Qiuke by his side, Changfeng slowly became familiar with everything in the palace.

Changfeng always remembered that the first time he saw Qianyu's daughter's body, the sickly and delicate appearance that had just recovered, the face with aura looming behind the curtain, the smart eyes, the pink lips opened lightly, and he didn't even frown when he drank the medicine, such a girl, desperately blocking arrows for herself, at that moment, the uneasiness in his heart welled up layer by layer.

Changfeng kept Qianyu's affection in mind, practiced shooting hard when no one was around, but always couldn't shoot well, always wanted to perform better in front of her, but always made mistakes in class, and always asked her to teach herself.
