Not half an hour after the carriage went out, Pan Cheng woke up in a jolt.

When he first opened his eyes, he was still a little confused, and he unconsciously wanted to touch his stiff neck, but when his hand was halfway out, he suddenly had a spirit, and then, the whole person froze.

In addition to him, there were two people in the car, one was Xiao Yun, who was blindfolded, gagged, and tied up with flowers, and the other was Chen Xun.

"Shizi, you're awake!" Chen Xun leaned over, happy and timid.

He boasted that he had followed Pan Cheng long enough, but in the face of the situation in front of him, he still couldn't guess what kind of reaction his master would have.

When Pan was asleep, he kept thinking, if the prince woke up, he had to turn the horse's head and go back to live and die with the county prince and wife, what would he do?

If that's the case, ...... yourself Can you stop him?

At that end, Pan sat up straight, lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Is that what my father meant?" ”

Chen Xun was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Shizi would be so calm when he asked this.

Nodding with difficulty, he said, "Son, the prince and the lady...... They are reluctant to let you live, Shizi, as long as you are alive, the Pan family will have a future! ”

Chen Xun was ready to search his intestines and scrape his stomach, and was ready to persuade him with what he had learned all his life, but when Pan heard this, he just looked up at him, closed his eyes, and nodded.

Chen Xun was stunned.

"The prince ......," he said in a panic, "you...... Are you alright? ”

Pan shook his head and did not speak.

There was no expected noise, no twists and turns that insisted on turning, Chen Xun saw that he accepted everything in front of him so calmly, and for a while, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about my thoughts, and you don't have to worry that I'll run back on my own." Pan Cheng suddenly said: "I have come to this point, and I will not live up to my father's and mother's arrangements." ”

I don't dare to live up to it. He thought silently.

"Shizi, it's good if you can think like this...... Chen Xun said, "The county prince and the lady are there...... We still have Xiangyao in our hands, maybe...... Maybe ......"

Pan didn't bother to open his eyes, leaned back against the carriage, and sneered indifferently.

"There are no surnames in this world." "No, maybe." ”

Father and mother, there is no chance.

After running in a southeasterly direction for two days and one night, the carriage had its first rest.

Coincidentally, this ruined temple in the wilderness is only a hundred miles away from Shufan County.

"Do you have to stop here?" Pan Quan stood in front of the door, his eyebrows furrowed, obviously very dissatisfied with this place, "Bring the map, I'll take a look." ”

Chen Xun presented the map according to his words. Pan looked at it for a while, except for his brows furrowing more and more, he didn't say a word.

Chen Xun sighed, and then said, "Shizi, let's just go for one night." Now there are people from the king of Chu inside and outside Shufan County, if we want to go south to the sea, we can only bypass the Yunfeng and take the small road to make a big circle, this road is not easy to walk, we have walked non-stop for these two days, if we don't rest, we will definitely not be able to pass. ”

Pan Quan threw Yutu back into his arms, knowing that Chen Xun was right, but Shufan County ...... This place still makes him look awkward.

Suddenly, a sneer came from behind him, and someone mocked: "Are you also afraid?" ”

It's Xiao Yun.

Pan Cheng took the dry food handed by Chen Xun, walked back to the temple, and sat down beside Xiao Yun.

"Have you ever studied?" He threw a few forks of dead trees into the fire, and his hazy face seemed to have a bit of a joke, and said to Xiao Yun: "These 'afraid' and 'annoying' are two words." ”

"Heh," Xiao Yun poured a big mouthful of water and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I know that 'surnamed Pan' and 'shameless' are written in the same way." ”

Pan glanced at him as if he were looking at something, and smiled nonchalantly, not even in the mood for him to fight.

On the side, Chen Xun watched this scene from a distance, and the worry in his heart was much heavier.

In the past two days on the road, Shizi has always been like this, looking calm and calm, with a bamboo in his chest, but in fact, he is gloomy and depressed, and he is not interested in anything.

The vast majority of people flee for their lives because they really want to live, and he ......

Chen Xun thought that he probably understood now what the words of the prince would not disappoint the prince and his wife.

Xiao Yun looked at Pan Cheng playfully for a moment, and sighed: "Pan Quan, you are really a filial son, your father and mother are carrying the death penalty in front of you, but you yourself are well prepared, and you escaped with your personal guards...... " As he spoke, he bowed closer to him, and said curiously: "Eh, can you sleep at night?" ”

Pan Quan's eyes turned to meet his eyes.

Xiao Yunsheng has an excellent face - even too good for a boy. With a round face and delicate facial features, I heard that when he was a child, Xiao also took him out to play, and in the streets and alleys, there were often mothers-in-law and aunts who regarded him as a girl.

He and Xiao are still brothers of the same mother, but their appearances are very different, only these eyes seem to be intact and copied from Xiao Huan.

It's too much of a resemblance.

Pan lost his mind for a moment, and the dry food in his hand fell to the ground.

His reaction surprised Xiao Yun, and he unconsciously straightened his posture with a playful look.

Even the eyes are so similar...... Pan frowned slightly, and after a while, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed at himself.

He's not Xiao Huan.

He thought, Qi'an Wang Xiao is still there, what kind of character is that? A person like himself has done a lot of evil in the past 30 years, and has brutalized those loyal and virtuous people, but what makes him the most 'proud' on the tip of his heart will always be Xiao Huan's death.

But what about this one?

It's just a gentleman with great ambitions and talents.

Thinking like this, he retracted his gaze, and his expression was inexplicably more energetic.

"With the little prince by my side, I slept soundly." He said.

Xiao Yun's eyes widened, he was so angry by this humiliating remark that he scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations before he stopped.

In the second half of the night, Pan Cheng slept very unsteadily, dreaming that his parents were beheaded in the city, and dreaming that Wangchen City was razed to ruins by the Xiao family. In the dream, he knew that he was in a dream, and he wanted to get out and wake up, but this nightmare was like a demon's minions, stifling his consciousness and making him powerless.

In a trance, he vaguely felt that someone was calling to him in his ear-

"The Son, the Son......"

The crisp voice, like a yellow warbler, is inexplicably pleasant.

The owner of the voice seemed to be angry, and asked him squeamishly with a little temperament in his words: "Pan Shizi, you took my things, why don't you say that you will return me?" ”

He asked, "What have I taken from you?" How come I don't remember? ”

The man snorted, and it was clear that he was not visible, but he just knew, and she pointed to her waist with her mouth pursed.

"The 'swag' is all on me! You're too embarrassed to admit it! No shame! ”

She seemed to be really angry, but Pan Cheng smiled.

He moved his fingers to touch the 'swag' hanging from his waist, but suddenly, his dream was shattered by a roar-

"The ——! of the Prince"

Pan woke up.

It was not yet dawn, and the light of the fire was much smaller, but even the sparkling light was enough for him to see what was in front of his eyes.

It's a sword.

To be precise, a little bit of blood.

Pan Quan's mind buzzed twice, and before he could think about it, a mouthful of blood fell from the top of his head and shattered on the ground, blooming like a flower.

"World ...... The ...... of the Prince"

The tip of Pan Quan's ears moved, Huo Ran raised his head, and what he saw was Chen Xun's face.

Chen Xun knelt in front of him, covered in blood, and blocked a sword for him in a protective gesture.

The blade pierced through his body, and for a moment it was only a fraction of what was left in Pan's eyes.

"Chen Xun ——!"

Pan Quan woke up from the monstrous shock, quickly turned over and got up, and with his movements, the sword was also pulled out of his body by the person behind Chen Xun.

Chen Xun fell.

Behind him was Xiao Yun, who was also covered in blood.

The firelight dimmed a little more, Pan Quan held Chen Xun in one hand, and quietly touched his sword with the other.

"Don't move."

In the darkness, a cold and slightly hoarse voice said lightly.

Pan's hand stopped.

He swept his eyes and realized how tragic the battle was. In addition to Chen Xun, the ten dead soldiers who followed him were all killed on the spot, and even worse, they were already in a different place.

The cold wind blew the heavy smell of blood.

And the person who caused all this is only fifteen years old this year.

Who said Xiao Yun is not like Xiao Huan?

Pan Cheng suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

"The little prince is really hidden." He put Chen Xun's body aside, he was still sitting on the ground, and said lightly with a smile.

Xiao Yun is not having a good time at this moment.

None of Pan's dead soldiers were given for nothing, including Chen Xun, after such a fight with these eleven people, he was scraped a few times on his body, and he couldn't count them. He knew very well that in the face of the real prey in front of him, if he couldn't defeat the enemy with one move, then the danger would be himself.

"If I don't be a fox, how can I know what a fox thinks?" He lifted his sword again and pointed at Pan Quan: "Pan Shizi, it's been almost seven years. It's time for you to pay your brother's blood debt. ”

Hearing this, Pan Cheng laughed out loud.

"Hahaha......" he asked, "King An's unjust death, it is my slander, it is not false." But there have been many courtiers who have slandered throughout the ages, but there are far fewer loyal ministers who have died unjustly. ”

"Little prince, is it fair that King An's life is on my head?"

Xiao Yun felt that Pan Quan was probably dying in order to fight back.

While staring at his hands, he said, "The way the prince defends himself is not clever. ”

Pan shook his head.

"I have no intention of pleading." "It's just that I'm very confused." The little prince has a deep brotherhood with King An, so ...... How does Empress Renyi calculate? How do you count it today? Princess Ann, how do you count it? ”
