["Why are you so confused!Ross is lying!"]
The original peace of the camp is gone, and there are corpses everywhere. Human, mountain gods, embedded in the blood and soil in various strange postures.
The survivors supported each other and moved westward under the command of senior officers who still had the strength to spare.
Chen Jian walked forward without saying a word.
The morning light was faint, and the orange and yellow light, a symbol of life, was particularly terrifying, and it continued the slaughter, staining the few clouds with blood red. It was as if people had walked into a bloody hell, and death was the end of the spectrum.
Tian Yun, who was supported by Cai Gong, coughed violently a few times, and spat a mouthful of dark red blood to the ground.
"Master, are you alright?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay, just take a break. ”
Chen Jian was still walking beside them, making Tian Yan eager to find a hole to get into. In order not to embarrass himself again, he stopped.
"Chen Jian Shaoxia," Tian Yan raised his head, waiting for Chen Jian to turn around and look into his eyes before saying, "I tried to speculate on you last night, and I really can't help it." ”
Chen Jian shook his head: "Thinking from another perspective, I will also doubt that kind of person." ”
There was no sarcastic tone in Chen Jian's words, and this kind of calmness made Tian Yan feel ashamed.
"I want to know, where did Chen Shaoxia's martial arts come from? Your strength has undoubtedly reached the level of the Glory Heroes, and even higher than most of the Glory Heroes, but you have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and you have never heard of the prestige of the Young Heroes. ”
"There are many incognito masters on the rivers and lakes. ”
With the recovery of his skills, a considerable part of his memories were also found, and Chen Jian didn't want to tell anyone about his life experience.
Tian Yan heard that Chen Jian was reluctant to say, and he didn't mean to force it: "I don't know, have you seen the hall master?"
"Master, the hall master has died in Huangquan. ”
"Alas......"
Even if he had been prepared, when he heard the news of his friend's death, Tian Yan couldn't help but feel stunned.
The two came to the East China Sea in high spirits, originally wanting the rivers and lakes and the imperial court to see the wise command of Wudang, but they didn't expect the ending to be so bleak, and the dragon queen's troubles have not been eradicated, they have been defeated and fled.
Tian Yu felt sad and indignant about his weakness. Whenever he saw Chen Jian's back, he was so eager to be as strong as him. The more he looked forward to it, the more he wanted to know the source of Chen Jian's strength.
"What is Chen Shaoxia's next plan?"
"Continuing the crusade against the Dragon King, of course. Chen Jian didn't know which Chen Jian this sense of justice belonged to.
"Good. ”
After receiving his reply, Tian Yu was not happy at all. Now that there is no commander-in-chief, how can they organize an effective attack?
"Come here. ”
Chen Chan suddenly quickened her pace, grabbed Chen Jian's arm, and led him away from the marching troops.
"What's the matter?"
"There's nothing you want to say to me?"
The clear gaze made Chen Jian dare not look directly.
"Am I going to say anything?"
"You still don't remember anything?"
"What?"
"Even if you hear my name?"
Chen Chan didn't expect that after she reported her real name last night, Chen Jian turned a blind eye to it, as if she had completely forgotten about it.
“...... Well, I still remember, it's called Wen Qingyun. ”
When I read the name, a sense of familiarity came over me.
Wen Qingyun, Wen Qingyun......
Chen Jian felt that he had heard this name from other people, who was it?
"I remembered it all," Wen Qingyun whispered, "You promised me that you would send me to the woodlands of Southern Xinjiang." Let's leave that alone. ”
"You say...... What?" Chen Jian was stunned, "How can you let the Dragon King go unattended? How many lives will he kill! You and I are obviously capable of defeating him, aren't we?"
"Chen Jian, you still don't understand?" Wen Qingyun said anxiously, "The Dragon King is just a front, someone is manipulating everything behind his back, this is a huge conspiracy that you and I can't imagine, once we get involved, there is no way to escape! It will tear everyone to pieces like a hurricane." ”
Chen Jian turned his eyes and examined Chen Chan seriously.
Since she remembered her name last night, she seemed to have been reborn as another person, the gentleness and tenderness of the past few days disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by strangeness, but this strangeness was familiar to the original Chen Jian.
You say...... "The dragon king is a disguise?"
Chen Jian had never thought about this, why did she come to such a conclusion?
"You're the thousand-handed poisonous girl three years ago, right? The thousand-handed poisonous girl who washed the southwest in blood and shocked the martial arts. ”
"That's right, it's me. ”
"You can see that your Ross said that your age is not right at all, you are too young. ”
"Why are you so confused! Rose is lying!"
Wen Qingyun was angry. In order to illustrate a fact, it is not pleasant to constantly emphasize that you have been a murderer in the past.
Wen Qingyun's conclusions thrown out one after another were like bombshells, making Chen Jian breathless.
"Then why did he lie......? Rose, Rose is a close confidant of the head of Wudang," Chen Jian said almost to himself, "What happened three years ago......?"
"Zhang Shenghan is the real name of the head of Wudang. Wen Qingyun said, "Three years ago, I fought Zhang Shenghan at Guhe Peak, he was supposed to kill me, but he finally let me leave, but he used some kind of exercise on me before, which made me lose the memory of that time. At the moment, it seems that he is already dead. ”
"Why would he do that?"
Wen Qingyun suddenly grabbed Chen Jian's hand: "Let's not care about so much, leave these disturbing trivial matters, go to southern Xinjiang, go to the country further south!"
"You, what are you talking about. ”
Chen Jian didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong, and suddenly said such a thing, it was like an ancient version of elopement!
This kind of move tried all kinds of tricks for the young Chen Jian, but half a month of weird experience made him mature a lot, Wen Qingyun suddenly wanted to leave with him as if he was courteous, but it made him wary of her purpose.
Moreover, she is still a female devil who kills people without blinking, Chen Jian has every reason to suspect that she wants to take herself to a remote place and then take away her own exercises.
"Wen Qingyun, you calm down first-"
"I'm calm now!"
She shouted, drawing the weary soldiers to look at her.
"Chen Jian, since you still can't remember, let me tell you, you are a member of Gonglian's team, and the reason why you left the capital this time is to escort me to southern Xinjiang!"
“...... What do you say?"
Chen Jian couldn't control his expression, both surprised and confused, and his doubts were not stopped.
"If you want to leave, you should be able to go to Southern Xinjiang with your own strength, right?"
"Chen Jian," Wen Qingyun said with a crying tone, "Really, don't wade into this troubled water—"
"Whether it's Zhang Shenghan or Ross, the whole Wudang is not a good stubble, they have been conspiring since three years ago or even earlier. I'll admit that because of Zhang Shenghan's exercises, I can't remember everything that happened three years ago, but I know that they have colluded with important officials in the court and are planning to have a war that turns the world upside down. What kind of era do you think this is, you can stay out of the matter with one person's martial arts? You are a glorious knight, but there are also honorable knights in the imperial court, even if they are not your opponents, but if there are two people who are your enemies, you are life and death-"
Wen Qingyun didn't finish speaking, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!"
Chen Jian went up to help her, but she opened it with one hand.
"Now...... I-it's Wen Qingyun......" she gritted her teeth and whispered, "It's not you...... It's not you!"
"Wen Qingyun?"
Chen Jian was helpless and didn't understand what was happening to her.
She gasped for air with difficulty, and her breathing gradually smoothed.
"Chen Jian," she leaned on Chen Jian's shoulder and stood up, "You weren't such a nosy person before. ”
"Have we known each other for a long time?"
"For a long time," she murmured...... "Well, then I'll take a step back, and we'll defeat the Dragon King, and we'll leave this land of right and wrong." ”
Chen Jian didn't know what to say.
She is a thousand-armed poisonous woman who has destroyed the lives of people, and now she has regained her memory, but she wants to escape from this land as soon as possible, and escape from those lonely ghosts who have come to ask for their lives. Chen Jian didn't know whether to condone such a heinous person to leave, or tell others about her life experience. And Wen Qingyun said that he was familiar with him, and he fell into the whirlpool of contradictions.
"Good...... Everything is after the destruction of the Dragon King. ”
Chen Jian's ambiguous reply made her very dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything more.
The two of them quickly followed the group.
"What are you two talking about there?" Cai Gong couldn't help but be curious when he saw that both of them didn't look very good.
"It's nothing," Chen Jian waved his hand, "I want to ask Senior Tian, how can we counterattack next?"
Tian Hao said: "According to the schedule, there will be a famous Rong Xia guest tomorrow, he is the elder of Shenyan Palace, Qiu Huan. He has the ability to reorganize us, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if it is Elder Qiu, now that the soldiers are few and far behind-alas. ”
"Take the liberty of asking, what is the strength of Prince Qianyu?"
"Is Qianyu a young man, will he also come to the East China Sea?" Tian Yu's eyes flashed with hope.
"He said he'd be there when he was done, and I would replace him beforehand. ”
"I see, that kid is still so insignificant," Tian Hao said with a wry smile, "Although Huang Fuqing is a respected chivalrous guest, his actual strength has long reached the realm of a glorious chivalrous guest, but he always did not accept the emperor's reward on the grounds that it was too troublesome to go to the capital. ”
"In this way, we will have three glorious heroes!and-" Cai Gong glanced at Wen Qingyun and immediately shut up.
"What else?" Tian Yu was puzzled.
"And - there are many knights like the master. ”
"Don't mention me in front of Chen Shaoxia. Tian Yun waved his hand ashamedly.
Hearing the compliment, Chen Jian didn't say anything, and continued: "Judging from last night's situation, a venerable knight can compete with a mountain god Jiao. How many more warriors do we have who can fight?"
"It hasn't been counted yet. As far as I can see, there are up to five more. Tian Yu said.
"Five...... Chen Chan, what do you think of the strength of the Dragon King?"
Tian Yan turned his gaze to the girl. Who is she, and why did Chen Jian ask her?
"You may be on par with the Dragon King, or you may be slightly better. Wen Qingyun replied with interest.
"In this way, the Dragon King needs a Glory Warrior on his side, and the other two Glory Warriors will stop the Mountain God Jiao together with the remaining warriors. Seven mountain gods had died last night, and it could be seen that the dragon king's side was also very tight, even if he still had ten, our people would be enough. ”
"This is only the most optimistic estimate," Tian Yu said with a sad face, "We still have to defend ourselves against those deadly poisonous powders." ”
"Poison powder?" Chen Jian didn't understand what he was talking about.
Wen Qingyun glared at him, and he immediately reacted: "Oh, it's what attacked the main camp that night." ”
"That's right, the Dragon King carries a lot of poison powder with him, once he comes into contact with it, he will definitely be injured, and it will continue to be infected, if anyone makes a mistake, we can't afford the consequences. ”
Chen Jian looked at Wen Qingyun and asked her with her eyes if she knew the solution to the soul burial, but Wen Qingyun didn't say anything.
"I could have attacked while the Dragon King was repairing, but now it doesn't seem to be able to. Chen Jian said, "If we can't crack that trick, we will always be passive." ”
"Yes......" Tian Yun and Cai Gong were both distressed.
"Let's discuss these things together when Elder Qiu arrives tomorrow. Wen Qingyun said, "We have arrived at the camp. ”
Indeed, between the conversations, they had reached the last camp.
When everyone was rectifying, Wen Qingyun stopped Chen Jian.
"I know how to resist a soul burial. Just grind the bamboo worm into powder, add the blood of the green shirt and red bird, and boil it into a medicinal soup, and drink a small cup to prevent the soul from being buried for two hours - but we must not say it. ”
"We want to find someone we can trust, but there is no such person around. Chen Jian pondered.
"Cai Gong?"
Chen Jian shook his head.
He has a life-saving grace for Cai Gong, let him do this, he really won't say anything. However, Cai Gong was from Wudang, and he was a young disciple, so how could he know the secret exercises of the Hundred Bitter Sect? When it was mentioned in the future, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Chen Jian told Wen Qingyun her idea, and she had no choice but to agree.
"And who else?"
"We need someone from the Southwest, preferably a little bit of medicine. ”
Chen Jian said this, and his eyes gradually lit up.
Wen Qingyun followed his gaze.
I saw that the handsome prince Huangfu Qing was walking over, and beside him was the medical girl who took care of Wen Qingyun, Shen Ya.
