Chi Yue and Mu Chen had a delicious lunch based on fish and shrimp here in Atai, so they and Atai walked along the river bank to the sparsely populated reeds ten miles away.

There was a flat boat moored in the shelter here, and the three men went up, and Atai walked through the thick reeds.

If you are not a skilled boatman, if you want to come to such a difficult place, anyone will be trapped in it, and you will only be able to retreat.

If you weren't very familiar with this place, you would have been lost in the reeds that covered the sky and the sun, and you wouldn't have been able to find a way out for half a day.

Fortunately, Atai was Mu Chen's trusted boatman, and in a short time he carved a way through the grassy and labyrinthine reeds, and carried them to the river, where they crossed the same difficult bank.

When he arrived on the shore, Mu Chen gave Atai ten taels of silver, Atai was overjoyed, and instructed Mu Chen, "It's still the old rule, send me a signal on the other side when you come back, and I will naturally come over to pick up my son when I see it." With I, Atai, even if the two armies are engaged in a fierce battle, I will smoothly and smoothly carry you over safely. ”

Mu Chen smiled and led Chi Yue through the dense forest. Towards evening, they finally arrived at an inn where they rested.

Chi Yue stretched her sore waist and legs, twisted her neck again, and sat and stretched as if no one was around.

A few side dishes were served, and Chi Yue was about to eat rice, but she listened to the two people next to her debating the situation on the river, and couldn't help but listen.

"Dasheng has General Wen stationed in the country, where is my Xinyi country their opponent?" One lamented.

"Don't be ambitious with others, can you destroy your own prestige?" The man on the other side said in a rough voice, "Our General Li is not a cat to be slaughtered, comparable to a fierce tiger, playing with a double iron halberd, it is called a majestic one, ten thousand people!" How can they compare to their General Wen? ”

"That's just the courage of a horseman." The previous one scoffed, "If he really has the ability, he won't be torn apart by General Wen from the other side and come back in embarrassment, and our two frontier cities will not fall into the hands of others now, and they can't be taken back!" ”

"Shhh, you be quiet, and you're not afraid of being heard by the sergeant, so take your head to General Li!" The latter hurriedly reminded him, and he also lowered his voice, "Who told us that none of us are resourceful and strategic?" However, General Li is already very good, and now that one of the three cities has been recaptured, isn't it a Wen city that occupied the border of the Dasheng Kingdom not long ago? If we defend Nawen City, we are not afraid to move forward bravely and occupy a few of his cities, and then our national strength will be even a little afraid of Dasheng Kingdom. ”

"I'll see the hanging." One person shook his head again and again, "Wencheng is on the other side of the river, but most of our troops are on the side of the river, how can we stand on the isolated side?" I don't think it will take ten and a half months, and Wencheng will be lost. ”

"I know that your family is in the lost Yuncheng, so you are so ruthless to our Xinyi country." The latter pierced him, "But in all fairness, isn't Dasheng Country also isolated on our side?" If the transportation of troops and grain and grass over there is blocked, it will not be a matter of time before the lost city is recaptured. Just like the year before last, didn't the two armies also occupy and lose their positions, and if they lost and recaptured, where did they really penetrate into each other? ”

One of the previous ones sighed, "I hope so." ”

Chi Yue can be said to have heard that the Dasheng Kingdom and the Xinyi Kingdom have equal military strength, and they have been facing each other on both sides of the river for many years, each has its own victory and defeat, and it is also a waste of money and labor, so it has weakened each other's national strength a lot.

She sighed slightly, frowned at Mu Chen, and said, "It's so boring to fight back and forth like a family." Don't they want to think about how many innocent people have been implicated in their single-minded and competitive actions? If it weren't for each other's concessions, the sea and the sky would be wide and there would be nothing to do. ”

Mu Chen couldn't laugh at Chi Yue's theory, "If you think like this, then the world will be too peaceful." ”

"Mortals are so greedy, I think I'm just a dream." Chi Yue smiled self-deprecatingly and buried herself in eating.

The next day, Mu Chen brought two horses, and the two had mounts, talking and laughing all the way, but it was also pleasant.

Entering a dense forest, the two of them stepped on the shadows of the chaotic trees, listening to the birdsong singing like music, Chi Yue couldn't help but hum a small tune.

Along the way, Mu Chen was accustomed to listening to the tunes hummed by Chi Yue, but he felt that it was very different from the melodious lyrics and songs that were popular at the moment, cheerful and pleasant like folk songs, but much bolder than folk songs, the tunes were varied, the lyrics were even more daring and explicit, and there were many words for talking about love.

Chi Yue's face did not change when he sang, as if he was saying ordinary homely words, it made him feel surprised, and he thought that he was not very human.

Huo Di, Mu Chen grabbed the reins of the horse and frowned slightly.

Chi Yue also stopped humming, pulled the horse to stop, and asked strangely, "What's the matter, Brother Mu?" ”

Along the way, the two ate and slept in the open, and became more and more familiar with each other's support and care, and Chi Yue naturally called him the eldest brother.

"There's a fight ahead." Mu Chen said confidently, "Let's wait a while, and then it's not too late to go." ”

Chi Yue admired Mu Chen's keen ear power and trusted his decision, so she listened to him and stood still in the distance.

After a while, Chi Yue was about to ask if he could move forward, but he heard the sound of eager horses' hooves galloping towards them.

Sure enough, a fast horse appeared in the dense forest, and there was a person crawling on it, but his chest was dripping with blood, and he was about to close his last breath when he saw that the person on the horse was dying.

Seeing the two of them, the scattered eyes of the person on the horse suddenly burst into light, and he tried his best to hold the horse, and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground.

"We, we've encountered mountain bandits. Please, please two of you to come and rescue my master, he, he is about to lose his support......" Before he finished speaking, the man came and died on his back.

Chi Yue was taken aback, and hurriedly dismounted, looking at the person, but where was there still breath?

She got back on the horse and said categorically to Mu Chen: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

Mu Chen didn't move, "We don't have the responsibility to meddle in this idle business, I think it's better for us to continue on the road." ”

Chi Yue disagreed, and pointed to the corpse on the ground, "But this is related to people's lives, so how can I watch more people being plundered by mountain bandits, and the blood is flowing like a river, but I watch the fire from the other side and sit idly by?" ”

As she spoke, she simply ignored Mu Chen, turned around and rushed forward.

Mu Chen shook his head helplessly, and had to keep up.

The horse's hooves in front of him trampled, and the fierce cries became louder and louder, and gradually, Chi Yue saw corpses all over the field, and many people were fighting each other.

This tragic scene of hundreds of people fighting against each other, Chi Yue saw it for the first time, and she was stunned in the distance for a while, what should she do.

She saw many people surrounding a luxurious carriage, the curtain of the carriage drooping, but she didn't know who was sitting inside, facing the bloody wind and rain outside, but still so calm and immovable.

"Protect the Prince!" Outside the carriage, a tall man shouted loudly, wiped the blood from his forehead, waved the red big knife, and rushed towards many mountain bandits, which was a fierce killing and slashing, which was extremely powerful and terrifying.

But after all, there were many people on the other side, and seeing the knife slashing at the body of the big man, the big man was covered in blood, and his physical strength gradually became exhausted.

Chi Yue immediately dismounted, picked up the long sword held by a corpse on the ground, and quickly ran to the side of the big man, fighting the enemy with him.

Chi Yue swung his long sword in all directions, forcing a few people back. The big man covered his stinging chest and glanced at Chi Yue, puzzled and grateful, "Thank you girl for saving me!" My prince, please take care of you! ”

As he spoke, he glared at his bloodthirsty eyes and slashed with all his might.

Chi Yue dodged left and right, and was able to protect himself

One person slashed the big knife on her head, Chi Yue's eyes burst out with coldness, and the long sword stretched out and stabbed the person in the chest.

And when he landed, the man's blood flowed profusely and fell to the ground.

This was the first time Chi Yue had killed someone, and in her panic, she was ruthless and pointed her long sword at another mountain bandit again.

In order to save people, killing people is the only way to do now!

Mu Chen rode on the horse, looking intently at Chi Yue, who was wantonly killing, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of interest.

I can't imagine that this immature girl can sacrifice herself to save others, not afraid of swords and swords, and is so bloodthirsty, which can be described as extremely bold and commendable.

Seeing that more mountain bandits rushed towards Chi Yue, Chi Yue also saw that he was physically exhausted, and was killed by a knife like the big man before, and he didn't blink an eye, Mu Chen didn't think about it anymore, jumped over, and happened to fall beside Chi Yue.

Drawing the sword beside him, a lightning-like sword shadow slashed, and countless heads fell to the ground.

When the people behind saw Mu Chen's move, it was as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder, invisibly giving people a sense of oppression, and they hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

"The prince is really a master by his side." A mountain bandit leader smiled fiercely, "Now that both sides are defeated, it can also be counted as the hatred in my heart!" It's not too late to take the prince's head another day, and he will go back with me! ”

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of mountain bandits followed the leader and fled one after another.

There were countless corpses and countless wounded people left behind, and very few were unharmed.

One person stepped forward and thanked Mu Chen and Chi Yue, "Thank you for the grace of the two escorts!" ”

The escorts, the princes, all show that they have rescued and are not ordinary husbands.

Chi Yue looked at the curtain, but heard finally a movement in the curtain, "Please go to the palace to rest." ”

The voice was soft and indifferent, as if it had a sense of weakness, like catkins floating in all directions.

Chi Yue was about to excuse herself, but she heard Mu Chen on the side say, "Thank you, then bother." ”

She looked at Mu Chen for some reason. Mu Chen didn't like to be disturbed the most, so he didn't like to disturb others, why didn't he want to be nosy before,

At this time, you agreed to the invitation of the next person?

It's really inexplicable, and it's confusing.

But she is also willing to go to the palace of Xinyi Kingdom to explore, and it is just a vacation.

Coming to the majestic and magnificent palace in the city, Chi Yue and Mu Chen received extraordinary courtesy.

The mysterious prince came out of the car, but it was a boy in his teens, his long snow-white hair fluttering down, his face was as white as paper, his eyelashes were as white as his skin, and even his pupils were so faint that he was almost gone.

This is a stacked snowman, coupled with an ethereal and gentle move, it seems that it is not a mortal, but an immortal who has been left behind in the world. And the dignity and alienation and indifference exuded around him make people can only look at it, not get close.
