Chapter 21 Hearing that Chang'an is like playing chess
Shi Zhiyi was injured again, who is the happiest person?
It's not the county lord of Yi Ning who pouts, but Doctor Liu in the convoy.
Watching Shi Zhiyi's injuries recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, Dr. Liu felt that his extraordinary medical skills had been recognized again, and he was so excited that his bones were crispy.
Shi Zhiyi finally had the opportunity to continue to gnaw on the Purple Divine Xiu Pill that still had most of it left in the dead of night.
The assassination of the third prince and the grandson of Old Man Fu on their own territory only scared the three souls and seven spirits of Tianshui City who advocated Nuo Yan away. Tianshui City locked down the city for a day and asked for the murderer, and naturally there was no gain.
But Zhang Nuoyan did not dare to take it lightly, and wrote a secret letter about the assassination of the three princes, passed it to the Fu family through confidential channels, and sent 500 elite cavalry to escort the three princes and their party on the road until they arrived at the destination of this trip, Wuwei City. Yu Zhongqian couldn't refuse, so he had to accept his kindness.
Although it was summer, there was not a hint of humidity in the air.
In the distance of the road, crimson mountains stood majestically, as if they had been ignited by the dry and hot air.
Although the weather is unbearable, on the road towards Wuwei, you can still see a fleet of vehicles from time to time, and among them, it is undoubtedly Yu Zhongqian's huge team of more than 600 people that attracts the most attention.
In a luxury carriage in the middle of the team, Shi Zhiyi and the Yu family siblings sat next to a huge ice cube, constantly fanning the folding fan in their hands. The curtains on all four sides of the carriage were lowered, and the whole carriage was tightly wrapped.
"Brother Zhong Qian, what do you think about this assassination?" Shi Zhiyi asked as he arched the red pawn on the chessboard across the river.
"I don't have a clue yet, judging from the weapons, the assassins seem to be from the seaside, among the eight major families, the Daxi family in Yuzhou, the Luqiu family in Hailing Prefecture, and the Jian family in Wulai Island, as well as our Yu family's sphere of influence, all have coastal areas. ”
"But the clue of the weapon is too obvious, the assassin does not use a sword or a knife, but uses a weapon with strong regional characteristics, such as the water splitting stinger, as if we are afraid that we will not know that he is from the sea. Yu Zhongqian ignored the pawn and flew up and jumped across the river.
Maybe the people behind it think the same way, and they want people to think that it is a false accusation? Or maybe the Assassin thought he could easily kill the two of us, and didn't bother to hide his weapons and origins. The pawn took another step forward.
"Xiaoyi, the situation you said can't be ruled out, but we currently have too little information in our hands, and it doesn't make sense to guess out of thin air with just a weapon. Although I am a prince, my martial arts cultivation is average, and I have no personal power, and the assassins chose me as a target, and chose to be on the ground in Puzhou, their purpose is still to provoke my grandfather and my father through my death, and from their subsequent actions, get the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. "The black cannon was erected, pointing at the red marshal camp from afar.
"Do you think they'll come again?" said the red cart cruising the river, ready to catch the unsightly black horse.
"After this mistake, we have a guard, no matter what the purpose of the people behind the scenes, we should not dare to do it easily, so it will be easy to show our feet. I believe that in today's world, there is no force that can withstand the wrath of the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty and the world's number one master at the same time. General!" a black car drove straight into the deepest part of the red position. Shi Zhiyi was about to fall into the army, and Yu Zhongqian gently knocked the black cannon in front of him with his left index finger.
Shi Zhiyi looked at the old handsome man who had nowhere to escape, sighed, and abandoned his son to admit defeat.
"Xiaoyi, your ability to play chess, compared to your martial arts cultivation, is not a little bit worse," Yu Zhongqian wondered.
"I used to play chess with my father, and he always asked me to play chess, and then I forcibly exchanged pieces with him, and finally bulldozed him with pawns......"
There was a muffled sound, but Lord Yining, who had been watching the chess from the sidelines, hit the carriage head-on.
......
Although the discussion of the mastermind behind the assassination did not lead to any results, after this life-and-death crisis, the relationship between Yu Zhongqian and Shi Zhiyi, who had already regarded each other as confidants, was further sublimated, and they had the posture of becoming brothers of the opposite sex.
The Shi clan in Yunqi City has been in a single line for hundreds of years, Shi Zhiyi has had no brothers and sisters since he was a child, not even cousins, so Shi Zhiyi has always envied the scene of Ding Changsheng and deep brotherhood in other families.
Although Yu Zhongqian is a prince, he has never put a prince's shelf in front of him, he is low-key, humble, gentle and elegant, which is completely in line with Shi Zhiyi's vision of the image of his brother, and even has a feeling of admiration that Yu Zhongqian himself should be his brother. This is also the reason why when facing the man in black that day, he was able to subconsciously risk his life to find a glimmer of life for Yu Zhongqian.
As for Yu Zhongqian, although he has two brothers, the three of them are half-brothers, and they have been raised by their mothers and palace maids since they were children, and there are very few opportunities to play and chat together.
Moreover, the rules in the royal family are strict, and the three of them must be more careful to abide by etiquette when they meet, and every action they do and every word they say must be thought about again and again so as not to lose their manners, which is completely devoid of the warmth and harmony between ordinary people and brothers.
However, when he was with Shi Zhiyi, he had no such concerns, from the time he rescued Shi Zhiyi, the latter was still in a coma, he had an inexplicable sense of affinity for the latter, and this young man's outspoken character, amazing talent and his more colorful experience also deeply attracted him, so that he loved and protected Shi Zhiyi as his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.
At the moment when Shi Zhiyi saved him, his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness and despair like losing his younger brother, which was exactly the same as Yu Yining's emotions when he saw him later.
After six or seven days of westward travel, the convoy was getting closer and closer to its destination, Wuwei. In the past few days, the shocking wound on Shi Zhiyi's left arm has completely disappeared, which makes the two brothers and sisters of the Yu family and Dr. Liu quite happy.
At the same time, Shi Zhiyi had completely stabilized the realm that had risen suddenly due to the cave adventure after a few days of hard work, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the energy in the mysterious sword Gu altar not only allowed him to cross the threshold between the two levels of dedusting and transcendental, but also greatly broadened his meridians, making them wider and stronger, and able to carry more true yuan. His martial arts realm has also faintly reached the extreme of the beginning of dawn, and he is only one step away from the middle of dawn!
Several successive battles of life and death made Shi Zhiyi deeply realize the helplessness caused by the lack of realm, and at the same time further strengthened his desire to improve his strength. When he was alone, he replayed the picture of fighting with Sun Weiqing and the mysterious man in black in his mind over and over again, striving to transform the experience gained from these battles into his actual combat power, so that the next time he fought against the warriors of the Cold Window Realm, he would not become a fish on the board to be slaughtered, or he had to rely on hard work to be able to exchange for that glimmer of life.
Whether it was chatting with the Yu family brothers and sisters or cultivating, it was something that Shi Zhiyi enjoyed so much that he didn't notice the passage of time at all. Until this day, a horse came from the west and stopped in the way of the convoy!
