The sun was setting, and there was only smoke left on the riverbank, and Suosi's army had already entered the city, and he was now sitting on the throne of the city lord's mansion, looking through the window, looking at the scenery outside, as if the trees not far in front of the window could show him a few flowers.

The person sitting opposite Sosi was Casal, who slowly drank the fruit wine in his hand, and his face was neither happy nor sad. At this time, the siege had long since ended, and Sosi made a plan on the spot, but only symbolically resisted for a while, and then surrendered to Sosi, which not only did not hurt the inhabitants of Yuanmu City, but also won Sosi's favor, for the sake of his fellow soul thinkers, he did not embarrass him much.

In fact, looking at Sosi's sad face, Casal was still quite happy in his heart, no matter what, the two in front of him were still enemies, and the suspicion did not disappear so quickly, and it was normal to have some resentment. Chen Xiansong's carriage fell into the river, and he didn't know about life and death, and now many people know about it.

Many people believed it was an accident, but Casal didn't think so. He felt that the carriage was out of control, even if it was an accident, it was an accident deliberately created by Chen Xiansong, a person who could come up with such an evil way to break through the city, it was too simple for him to overturn a small carriage.

Sosi hasn't eaten for a day, he's in a hurry now, Chen Xiansong is lost, Riccardo is easy to explain, is the dead still worth the living? But the problem is on the other side, Bai Min ...... Temple of the Sun. He knows very well that Chen Xiansong and Bai Min are a couple, the former is in his hands, which is equivalent to having a hostage in his hands, he is not afraid that Bai Min will come to find trouble, but now that Chen Xiansong is gone, things will be in trouble.

The Sun Divine Servant is very powerful, this is a well-known thing, and none of his own subordinates are Bai Min's opponents, but he has many subordinates. Together, they can force Bai Min back. It's just that he believes that the Sun God Servant is not so stupid, and in the case of being outnumbered, he will not retreat until he is exhausted. What he was afraid of was that Bai Min was eyeing him, and he would assassinate him from time to time, but if he didn't hit, he would immediately flee thousands of miles away, and the matter would be much more troublesome. The Sun God Servant has more than two hundred years to spend with him, and he can't afford to play.

While Sossi was grimacing, his herald walked in. Carrying a wet white robe in his hand, he said, "Master, we found this dress downstream, I think, it should be worn by His Excellency Chen Xiansong." ”

See this thing. Sossi slammed into his chair and took it in his hand and looked at it. Asked, "Only this thing found?" Did you find anyone? ”

The herald shook his head. Sosi sat back in his chair, he sent hundreds of people downstream to search, for such a long time, even the fish would be fished out, but no one could be found, not even the corpse. Only one piece of clothing was found. Did he take the opportunity to escape? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

Then the herald continued: "Master, there is another strange thing, two of our brothers went upstream at noon to check and did not return until the afternoon. Then we sent someone to look for them, and it turned out that their bodies were found not too far upstream...... There was a fight at the scene, it was very intense, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with His Excellency Chen Xiansong. ”

"You said that there was a fierce fight there, Chen Xiansong is just a soul thinker, how can he fight with two mercenaries at the same time." Sosi shook his head: "Could it be that they encountered the other soldiers in the Log City who had fled, and the two sides clashed, and then they were killed." ”

After Sossi finished speaking, he cast his gaze to Casal, who was sitting quietly.

"Although I don't feel convincing when I say that, I don't think it was our people in Logs City." Casal said slowly: "When the city was broken, I had already restrained the soldiers from resisting, and most importantly, you had surrounded the entire city, and if anyone in the city really escaped, you should know the way." ”

Casal was right, Sosi nodded, and said to the herald, "You send a few people to search upstream, and if you find anything, come back and report immediately." ”

The herald nodded and left. Then Sosi said to Casal: "Your Excellency, since you are so cooperative, I do not intend to embarrass you. Presumably, your wife and children should be worried about you at home. You can go back and reunite with them, but hopefully don't do anything that makes people feel bad. Sometimes, I don't have a soft heart when I kill people. ”

"Thank you for the warning, I'm not stupid." Kasar bowed lightly and left the City Lord's Mansion.

When he returned to his home, his wife and children had taken refuge in the secret passages, and the house was quiet, with only three or two servants waiting. When I went up to the third floor of the study, I closed the window that had been open just now, and there was a knock on the door. He sat down in the chair in front of his desk, rang the golden bell on it, and the butler pushed the door in, and then gently closed the door.

"The goshawk and the lone wolf have returned." The butler's voice was very low: "They said that when they were upstream, they found the footprints that were suspected to be the footprints left by His Excellency Chen Xiansong when he fled, but they found that there were two other people who were following, so they fought with them, although they killed each other, but they were also injured, and they were delayed, and after the rain, they washed away all those footprints, and they couldn't track them anymore, so they came back." ”

Casal smiled slightly: "Well done, each person will be awarded five gold coins, so that they can have a good rest." ”

The housekeeper retreated, Casal happily leaned back, put his feet on the desk, and said to himself: "Sure enough, as I expected, Chen Xiansong really escaped, but it's a pity that I helped him, but he didn't know, otherwise he would owe me a favor, tsk, it's a pity." ”

In a small village more than ten kilometers away from Yuanmu City, an old man with gray hair welcomed Chen Xiansong into the house. It is a very simple adobe house with three single rooms and a kitchen, and the furniture is simple, all homemade from wood, and many of the furniture still have burrs.

"Old man, do you have something to eat here?" Chen Xiansong touched his body, and there were a few gold and silver coins in his underwear, but the armor outside his body was blocked, so he said, "Can you help me prepare, I will pay." ”

The old man bent down, glanced at the long sword in his hand, did not speak, just nodded, and then went to the kitchen to get busy. Chen Xiansong took off the armor of the whole body and put it in the corner of the room, this set of sacred clothes was designed by Xiao Min, referring to the principles of human mechanics in the twenty-second century, and the design was very convenient, that is, easy to wear and easy to take off, the heavy armor of this era is completely incomparable to it.

After finding a few silver coins on his body, Chen Xiansong smelled the fragrance of noodles coming from the room, and his stomach began to cry more happily, and it didn't take long for the old man to come over with a wooden plate and put it on the table. Chen Xiansong took out two silver coins and stuffed them into the other party's hand: "Old man, this is my food money, I'm sorry for you." ”

Seeing the silver coin with white flowers, the old man's face, which was originally humble and afraid, immediately became eyebrows and smiled, and the person seemed to become energetic: "Your Excellency, thank you for your reward, is there anything else you need?" ”

"Hmm, can you boil some boiling water for me?" Chen Xiansong took a bite of black bread, this thing is very hard, and it is extremely difficult to swallow if it is not sent with water.

No wonder the old man is so enthusiastic, the price of a few black breads will not exceed one copper coin, and two silver coins are already more than twenty times the price. Generally, the villagers living outside the city are poor families, and they usually farm and hunt by themselves, but they can also be self-sufficient, but if you want to say that there is no surplus money.

The old man has lived for dozens of years, and he has never held more than ten copper coins in his hand, and at this time he is holding two silver coins, and he is really happy that he can't find the north.

Soon boiling water was served, using a porcelain bowl with a large gap, and the texture of flowers and plants in the bowl was obviously something that the rich and noble people threw away. But for the poor, this is already excellent cutlery.

After the water cooled down, Chen Xiansong drank the water while eating the unpalatable black bread, which he didn't even look at in the past, but now he is extremely hungry, and it tastes quite delicious. After eating a few pieces of brown bread, he felt much more comfortable, and asked the old man if he had any spare bed for him to rest for the night.

The old man nodded violently, and led him into the third room on the far left, which contained a bed, an ordinary wooden wardrobe, and a few rusty broken iron swords. The old man said, "This is my son's room, he is now being trained as a mercenary in Yuanmu City, and he will be able to make money when he comes out in the future, my lord, you can make do with it here for one night." ”

Chen Xiansong thanked him a few words, and then moved all the armor he had taken off into the room. He had been gone for a day, already exhausted. First he fell into the water, then he was caught in the rain, and then the armor never took off, and his clothes were still a little wet. But he couldn't care about it anymore, and fell asleep on the bed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

In a daze, Chen Xiansong heard what seemed to be someone talking to the old man outside the room, it seemed to be an old woman, and her tone was very fierce.

After falling asleep, he had a dream that he fell into the water first, and then was thrown into the fire, and his body was very uncomfortable with hot and cold, and his head was very painful, and he was extremely uncomfortable, and his whole body seemed to be pressed by something, and he couldn't move. After a long time, he felt a little more awake, and he desperately opened his eyes, only to find that his vision was blurry, and the unfamiliar ceiling was constantly spinning.

Sick? Chen Xiansong raised his soft and powerless right hand and put it on his forehead, which was very hot.

Feverish! Chen Xiansong leaned sideways, his left hands supported his upper body and leaned against the head of the bed, wanting to speak, but his throat was blocked by something, and his mouth moved twice, and he began to cough. After a few sounds, the door was pushed open, and the old man walked in, he looked at Chen Xiansong, and there was a little concern in his cloudy eyes: "Your Excellency, what's wrong with you." ”

"Fever...... Sick. Chen Xiansong replied in a hoarse and deep voice, "Can you help me get some medicine...... When I come back, I still have some money on me. ”

"Wait, I'll talk to my wife." The old man went out, and not long after, an old woman came in.

The wrinkles of this old woman were deep, deeper than those of the old man, and the cheekbones between her cheeks were so high that they looked like two small peaks on her face. She looked at Chen Xiansong's weak look, smiled, and showed a few yellow-black front teeth: "It's so good to be sick, old man, our child's armor has fallen." (To be continued......)
