Let's say that Long Zixi stopped in front of the store, hesitated for a while, and didn't know where to go.

Xindao, I came to Haojing, I was looking for my uncle and aunt, but now the two of them don't know where they went, life and death are uncertain, what should I do?

Come to think of it, you have to get out of here first.

Thinking that seeing his uncle fleeing, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to him, so he did not take the ancient road he came from, but picked up a path to the southeast.

Although there were no horses, Long Zixi relied on his foot strength and hurried slowly, and he still traveled about forty or fifty miles before dark.

I didn't want to just hurry, but I missed the accommodation.

Seeing that it was already dark, it was really in the wilderness of Qianbuba Village and no store.

As he walked, the wind blew and cooled, and there were bursts of thunder in the distance, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Long Zixi couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Turning a grove of trees, there is a river.

Suddenly, he saw a house on the other side of the river, so he hurried and ran over.

When I got closer, it turned out to be a ruined temple.

When he entered the temple, it rained heavily.

Long Zixi screamed ashamed in his heart, took out the flint, made a fire, and felt out half of the paraffin, lit it, and looked in a circle.

It was originally a temple dedicated to the ancient god of Gonggong, but it fell into disrepair and dilapidated.

Convinced that there was no one else in the temple, Long Zixi found a clean place to sit down, ate some dry food and drank some water.

After that, he put out the candle and lay down.

I lay down, but I didn't feel sleepy.

All the things I have encountered in the past day are churning in my mind, but I can't think very clearly.

The couple's affairs were basically sorted out, but they couldn't understand why King Xuan suddenly made such a will.

Prior to this, it was common for villagers to make bows and arrows and buy and sell.

When there were many wars, the government encouraged every household to produce and sell war goods.

Now the frontier is unstable, not long ago, King Xuan personally went to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to "feed the people", why did he suddenly turn such a big turn.

Thinking of Uncle Chen again, could it be that he really killed people and escaped?

That's a heinous sin!

Thinking of this, I feel more and more that the stakes are high.

It seems that the old palace man asked him to leave Haojing as soon as possible, which is a place of wrong, which really makes sense.

After thinking about it for a while, my mood was slightly calmer.

With this wind and rain, the air is cooler, but it is much more comfortable than the stuffy heat.

After a hard day, Long Zixi really felt sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously.

10

I don't know how long it took, Long Zixi was suddenly awakened by a sound.

When I woke up, I found that I didn't know when the wind and rain had stopped, and a crescent moon had already risen, and it was about the fifth watch.

Hold your breath and listen, the sound turned out to be the sound of horses' hooves.

It was clear from the sound that it was five or six horses, from far and near, and it was obvious that they were coming straight to the temple.

Long Zixi grabbed the package that was pillow under his head, rolled on the spot, and hid behind the Gonggong statue.

Immediately, after hearing the sound of horses' hooves and turning to the temple, someone dismounted and walked to the temple before the temple, apparently tying the horse to the back of the temple.

Long Zixi screamed strangely in his heart.

From the sound of footsteps, I know that there are five people in this group.

Judging from the footsteps and breath, these five people are not weak martial arts masters.

Long Zixi held his breath for the moment, crouched behind the statue of Gonggong, and peeked out from the crook of Gonggongshen's arm.

Those five people obviously never expected anyone in the temple.

I saw that five people entered the temple in the moonlight, all wearing rainproof clothes and swords, reflecting the moonlight from time to time.

Long Zixi saw one of them take out the flint and sparked it with a few clicks.

But he heard another whisper:

"Don't light the fire! The fourth wants to tell the man, are we waiting for him here?! ”

The man stopped.

And another:

"Master Du, our sword is also a little shiny, so it's better to put it away first."

The "Lord Du" was the first person to stop the fire, and said in a low voice:

"What the second brother said is very true, everyone has hidden the guys."

Long Zixi couldn't help but admire these five people.

Listening to the tone, these five people seem to be officials, and they are obviously very experienced.

They parked their horses behind the temple, and when they came in, they did not light the fire, and they also noticed the details of the reflection of the moonlight on the sword, and it turned out that they wanted to set up an ambush here and deal with someone.

I just don't know, who is the saint of the person who is being dealt with?

Listen to only one person:

"Master Du, it's been three days, and as expected, that person may not dare to stay around, maybe he will run away sooner."

"Lord Du" affirmed:

"No way. The official expected that the man must still be nearby.

The river flowed from the capital to here, and it passed through seven or eight villages, and if he wanted to find the baby girl, he would have to visit the villages.

"Based on the time, it should be around here today."

Another way:

"What if the baby girl had drowned?"

"Master Du" smiled coldly:

"That baby girl is the flesh of his heart, he wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses in death, and now there is no whereabouts, how can he give up?"

Another humane:

"That's true.

"That man is also a man with affection and righteousness.

"I was already injured and poisoned in the palace that day, but I didn't run away, which is really admirable."

"Lord Du" sighed lightly:

"To say, that person also has several friends with this official, although they are not friends, but they do not have a deep hatred.

"But it's hard to disobey the fate, and if you really want to do it, you can't take care of it much."

Another way:

"From the point of view, the man didn't care, but the matter of the baby girl had been settled earlier.

"Otherwise, we will continue to track it down, and I really don't know when it will be the end."

When Long Zixi heard this, he faintly heard some clues.

Suddenly it occurred to me that the person who was going to be dealt with was his uncle Chen Du and Chen Yiguo?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Bacheng is my uncle!

If it's really him, it's certain to help.

couldn't help but put his hand into his arms and secretly held the five bone darts.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the five people suddenly stop.

Long Zixi looked out and saw the five people jumping to both sides of the door with a quick move, and suddenly disappeared into the shadows.

11

Immediately, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again.

Listening to the sound, the horse is actually far away.

But the five of them have already discovered that they are profound.

The sound of horses' hooves is near.

Through the broken window, Long Zixi vaguely saw a person rolling off his horse in the moonlight, staggering, and extremely weak.

The man apparently couldn't take much of it anymore and burst through the door.

It was too late, but it was too soon, and I saw several figures jumping up on both sides of the door, crossing in front of and behind the man.

After hearing a few "pops", several people jumped to both sides, and the person's body froze there.

Long Zixi couldn't help but regret it!

Just now, because I was afraid of injuring that person by mistake, I didn't take action immediately.

Who knew that those human body methods were so fast, and they attacked at the same time in one leap, and they had already succeeded.

Long Zixi was about to hit the dart at the three people on his side, when he suddenly heard the frozen man speak.

Although the strength is insufficient, the voice is clear:

"Good, good technique, admirable, even if there is no injury on the lower body, it may not be able to hide."

When the five men saw that the enemy had been restrained, they moved their feet and gathered around the man.

Except for "Master Du", the four people are still with swords in their hands.

Just listen to "Master Du" and say softly:

"Guard Chen, I'm really sorry!

"It's just because Your Excellency's martial arts are too strong, although Your Excellency is injured, we don't dare to support it, so we have to make this decision."

The man sighed softly:

"It turned out to be Lord Du.

"The one who clicked on the acupoint on the left side just now must be you, my lord, and the finger skill is really powerful."

Master Du walked in front of the man with his hands behind his back, but said to the other person:

"Fourth, didn't you light the fire?

"Now it's ordered, how can it be a hospitable thing to be so dark?

"You don't have to be so nervous, you've all come to see the master you've long wanted."

The "fourth" said "yes", and after a while, he lit a fire, lit two torches, and inserted them on both sides.

Several people stood in front of the Chen guard, bowed their hands together, and said:

"It's been a long time!"

By the light of the torch, Long Zixi saw the person who was restrained, who was not his uncle Chen Du?

Although I haven't seen him for a few years, Uncle Shi's face is still the same, but he is much older.

Look at the "Master Du" again, about fifty years old, with a fair complexion and bright eyes, at first glance, he is a person with profound internal skills.

Four others, ranging in age from thirty to forty.

Two people make swords, two people make swords, and they all seem to be calm and calm, first-class good hands.

Listen to that Chen Du said slowly:

"These four are a little face-to-face, could it be the four brothers of the Huaibei family who are known as 'four horses are difficult to chase'?"

Master Du nodded:

"Brother Chen has good eyesight, it is his four brothers. I just came to Beijing and was a guest of this official family. ”

Chen Du shook his head and said:

"In this way, if you are captured by the five today, you will have nothing to say."

Master Du smiled slightly:

"Brother Chen is too modest.

"If it weren't for Brother Chen's injury first, coupled with our sneak attack, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"It's also that the brothers are a little upset by Your Excellency, and they all hope that there will be a break sooner.

"By the way, there are a few words, but I want to consult Brother Chen."

That Chen Du showed a sad smile on his face, nodded and said:

"Master Du has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

"This credit to your Excellency is not in vain for our acquaintance."

Lord Nadu waved his hand to the four brothers of the Fang family:

"Untie the acupoints of Guard Chen's arms, let him rest for a while, and give him some water to drink."

The two of them approached, untied Chen Du's arms, helped him sit down against the wall, and handed him the water bag.

Chen Du gasped for breath, took the water bag handed by Fang Laosi, and took a few sips.

Long Zixi had already seen that Chen Du was almost unable to support it, and wanted to show up several times.

But seeing that Master Du had something to ask, Chen Du was not in danger of his life for the time being, so he simply continued to listen.

The fourth elder of the Fang family found a broken Taishi chair from somewhere, wiped it with his sleeve, and asked Master Du to sit down.

Master Du asked Chen Du:

"That baby girl, is it really Brother Chen and that slave?"

Chen Du nodded:

"Yes, the baby girl is the biological flesh and blood of the next.

"Otherwise, alas, why be so risky?"

Master Du asked again:

"This makes the official a little confused.

"Brother Chen is a talent, he is a hero among people, and it can be said that he wants a woman to be picked up by a thousand, why is he so partial to this subordinate?"

Chen Du sneered:

"I don't know. I might as well tell you to wait today.

"That woman's real surname is Long, and she is the younger sister of my senior brother Long Ji.

"We have been childhood sweethearts since we were children, and the two families have long had a marriage contract.

"If it weren't for King Xuan's Wudao, we would have been husband and wife a long time ago.

"That King Xuan, in his early years, he was quite energetic, but later, he was arrogant and lascivious, which made people disappointed!

"That year, I recruited women, and my lady who did not pass through the door was fourteen years old, and was elected to the palace because of her beautiful appearance, and since then she has been a subordinate, and since then she has had enough of endless lovesickness!

"Does Master Du know why he went to the palace to be a guard?"

After drinking some water, Chen Du's state improved a lot, and he said a lot of words in one breath, but he couldn't help coughing lightly twice.

Only then did Long Zixi know that the slave who had been pregnant for decades and gave birth to a baby girl turned out to be really an aunt!

That baby girl is really Chen Du and his aunt's child!

At the moment, my blood was surging, and I really wanted to rush out immediately, but I heard Du Dadao:

"Your Excellency went to the palace to be a guard, isn't it because of your strong martial arts and you want to find a future?"

Chen Du smiled:

"Yes, that's certainly a reason.

"However, the more important reason is that after learning martial arts, I once vowed to go to the palace to find an opportunity to save her!"

Hearing this, one of the four brothers of the Fang family let out a "huh", obviously thinking that Chen Du's idea was too arrogant.

Chen Du glanced at the person who said "Huh" and continued:

"Yes, the idea under is naïve.

When I entered the palace, I found that it was really wishful thinking to save her.

"This disappointed Zai Haosheng!

"For a while, I really wanted to die with her, but in the face of my beloved, it was always difficult to make up my mind.

Later, I simply stayed in the palace and wanted to see her often.

"We buried our love deep in our hearts like that, and it took more than ten years.

"I never thought that a year ago, the only time we did a private thing was to get her pregnant.

Zai Xia knew that this was a heinous crime, so he tried his best to save her from the palace, but in the end, he couldn't get his wish, but he ruined her life.

"Alas! In the future, Lord Du should know better than below, and there is no need to say it below. ”

When Chen Du said this, he closed his eyes and his expression was extremely painful.

When Long Zixi heard that his aunt was dead, his heart was like a knife.

Thinking of the life of my aunt and Chen Du, although it is lonely, it is still affectionate and touching.

For a while, he was so confused that he forgot about the current enemy.

After a long time, I heard Master Du sigh:

"Yes, on the day your Excellency fled, your mistress was secretly executed.

"In order to cover up the ugliness in the palace, it was only said that the slave was pregnant without a husband, and it took decades to give birth and give birth to a monster.

"But on the day of his birth, the queen sent someone to throw him into the river.

"By the way, it's the Wei River outside.

"This official expected that Your Excellency would definitely look for the child along the river, so he was waiting for you here, but it really didn't happen as the official expected."

Seeing Chen Du close his eyes tightly, Master Du didn't say anything anymore, and sighed again:

"Brother Chen, seeing that the sky is almost dawn, we have finished listening to Your Excellency's story.

"The official's intention is not to take your head back to the palace, so that your excellency can suffer the crime, so take your head and go back to pay the errand, and your excellency will die a happy death."

After speaking, he glanced at the third child of the Fang family.

Chen Du still didn't open his eyes, and only spit out two words:

"Thanks!"

The third man nodded slightly, held a big knife, and took two steps forward.

said "I'm sorry", and slashed at Chen Du's neck with a knife.
