Chapter 43: Fallen Soul Gorge
At sunset, Xiao Chen's carriage slowly came to the front of the Fallen Soul Gorge, at the mouth of the canyon, Wu Liang grabbed the reins, glanced at Xiao Chen with some hesitation and said: "Lord Wang, this place is extremely dangerous, and it is easiest to hide ambushes, and the subordinates mean ...... Do you want to avoid the edge for a while? ”
Xiao Chen sat beside Ouyang Xu, carrying the inseparable Yangchen Sword behind his back, and looked at the Fallen Soul Gorge in front of him.
When the sun set, the light between heaven and earth suddenly dimmed a lot, and the Falling Soul Gorge in front of him became more and more dark and deep, just like a fierce beast with its bloody mouth open, choosing people and loving people, it was indeed a place that was easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Ouyang Xu on the side also said at the right time: "After the Falling Soul Gorge, and then go further is Yangnan City, if someone wants to do it, they will definitely choose to be here, otherwise I will help the prince to explore the road first?" ”
Xiao Chen didn't speak, but Wu Liang on the side sneered and said, "Exploring the way? I think it's going to ventilate the news, right? ”
Ignoring Wu Liang, who was weird about yin and yang, Ouyang Xu kept looking at Xiao Chen.
After this period of contact, Ouyang Xu unexpectedly found that this gentleman prince was not as bad as he imagined, on the contrary, in many places, it made Ouyang Xu feel a sense of brightness.
Smiling slightly, Xiao Chen said: "There are some things that can't be avoided, since you can't avoid them, then go up and see who hits them!" ”
Looking at Wu Liang, Xiao Chen continued: "Wu Liang, you go to the rear and let the fearless front lead the way." ”
Seeing that Xiao Chen had already made a decision, Wu Liang nodded although he was a little hesitant.
Wu Liang left, and after a while, Xue Wudaunt rode his horse to the front, pulled out the long knife pinned to his waist, and Xue Wudaunt said in a condensed voice: "Let's go!" ”
The carriage slowly drove into the canyon, and Xiao Chen got into the carriage headlong.
Seeing Xiao Chen coming in, the three girls set their eyes on Xiao Chen.
"Lord Wang, are you okay outside?" Sun Simiao was the first to ask, with concern in her eyes.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said: "It's okay for the time being, but I'm here to tell you that no matter what happens outside for a while, you must not come out, understand?" ”
Sun Simiao nodded heavily.
Xiao Chen looked at Diexiang again, Diexiang was angry, and spread her hands and said: "What do you see me doing, a weak woman like the slave family will not be stupid enough to get out of the carriage." ”
Among the three daughters, only Du Yingying was left who had not yet expressed her position. Du Yingying lowered her head, holding the long sword tightly in her hand, and showed a nervous and hesitant look on her face.
Xiao Chen glanced at Du Yingying deeply and said: "Among the three people, what I am most worried about is you Du Nuxia, this king wants to tell you, if there is something this time, the strength of the people who come is not comparable to those hooligans in Yong'an City, I will bring you out, I must bring you back." So you especially can't mess around, understand? ”
Looking at Xiao Chen's appearance of a Dundun teaching an old father, Du Yingying glanced at Xiao Chen angrily and said, "In general, I'm better than you, why do I have to stay in the carriage, just because you are a man?" ”
Xiao Chen smiled dumbly and said: "Because I know that I can't do martial arts, I know not to mess around, although I can't help, but I won't hold back." ”
Du Yingying looked at Xiao Chen with some anger and said, "You mean I'm going to drag my feet?" With a rare hint of grief on her face, Du Yingying muttered to herself: "I still feel sorry for someone, but I didn't expect this to be the case when I came out, I knew that I should go back to my Taishou Mansion." ”
Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Anyway, it's on my thief ship, and now it's too late for you to regret it." ”
"You ......" Du Yingying was angry, clenched her fists and aimed at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was still smiling, and she didn't mean to retreat at all.
With a cold snort, Du Yingying loosened her fist again and said, "That is, the current situation is critical, otherwise, I have to make you stop talking nonsense." ”
The angry Du Yingying pouted, a little more agile than Du Yingying, who had a cold face, Xiao Chen sighed slightly, that was really good-looking.
On the other hand, Diexiang on the side glanced at Xiao Chen with some solemnity and said, "Lord Wang, since you guessed that they are likely to do something to you in this Soul Falling Gorge, then why do you have to enter this dangerous place?" It won't take long to take a detour! ”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen shook his head and didn't speak, turned around and left the carriage.
Coming to Ouyang Xu and sitting down, Xiao Chen looked thoughtfully at the gradually dimming sky, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and next to the moon, a lone star shot a faint fluorescence.
Xiao Chen, who was a little emotional, suddenly shouted: "Wu Liang, bring the wine." ”
Wu Liang, who heard the order, immediately opened the storage compartment behind the carriage, but saw that dozens of altars of fire were densely placed in the storage compartment.
"What the hell?"
Wu Liang was a little puzzled, Xiao Chen was the most loyal dogleg, Wu Liang knew very well, Xiao Chen had never loved burning since he was a child, but this trip he brought so much burning fire, and he didn't bring the wine next to him, which inevitably made Wu Liang a little puzzled and surprised.
Taking a jar of wine, Wu Liang respectfully handed it to Xiao Chen. Although he was curious about what Xiao Chen was thinking, Wu Liang didn't ask much after all.
Taking the wine jug, Xiao Chen opened the wine seal, and for a while, a strong smell of wine suddenly spread around the carriage.
Handed it to Ouyang Xu on the side, Xiao Chen asked, "Do you want to have some?" ”
Ouyang Xu turned his head and glanced deeply in the direction of the carriage, shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, I won't drink anymore, if there is danger, I better stay sober!" ”
Xiao Chen smiled dumbly and did not continue to persuade Ouyang Xu.
In the final analysis, he still doesn't understand love at first sight like Ouyang Xu, you say that after seeing Sun Simiao a few times, you can forget life and death like this, it's really hypocritical, there are so many good daughters in the world, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?
The wine entered his throat, and the familiar stimulation surged into Xiao Chen's heart, but perhaps because he was used to drinking, drinking it again this time actually made Xiao Chen feel a feeling of blood surging.
Taking advantage of this dizziness, Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of many past events.
When he was young, he saw his father Xiao Ding often hiding in the room and drinking alone, now think about it, the old man who once carried Yong'an on his shoulders for decades of peace may also have a lot of things hidden in his heart, right?
Man is a very complex animal, when I was young, my stomach hurt and my brain was hot, and I was not happy today, where to play, and I always liked to hang on my lips, and I really wanted to say that it was good for a few days and nights.
But the more I grew up, the more things I had in my heart, but I no longer had the desire to say it when I was a child, but I hid it deep in my heart, just waiting for it to chew alone in the dead of night.
No matter how old it is, I simply don't even have the idea of thinking about those things, and even the memory, I can't wait to find a lock and lock it all in my heart.
After a long time, I'm afraid that I will forget everything, just waiting for a key to open those dusty pasts, that is the taste of thousands of tastes.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, this fire is like the key, no matter whether he is happy or not, when he is half drunk and half awake, he can always remember many things that he couldn't think of before, Xiao Ding's, Shi Cai's, Han Feng's...... There are so many and miscellaneous, and when the wine comes up a little more, Xiao Chen feels a little pain in his brain, thinking about so many things, drinking such strong wine, it is strange that his head does not hurt.
"Lord Wang, it's actually good to be a gentleman......" In a trance, Han Feng's voice seemed to echo in his ears again.
Xiao Chen grinned bitterly and responded in his heart: "I want to too!" ”
But after witnessing Han Feng die in front of him, Xiao Chen realized that there are some things that he doesn't do, and he can't even control himself.
Xiao Chen really wasn't interested in getting involved in so many things, even after understanding these truths.
But after all, you can't continue to escape, can you? The two dogs competed, but they couldn't beat it, and they knew how to bite it, this time they went to Qianguo, five or six dogs surrounded him, if he didn't show his teeth, he would be bullied next time, Xiao Chen understood it.
The sun had completely set, and the Fallen Soul Gorge had been plunged into darkness.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, there was a sound in the air that broke through the air, followed by the sound of steel clashing.
Xiao Chen was a little sober, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Xue Wuxing on the horseback in front of him stabbed forward with a long knife at this time, and when he pulled it back, the blade was already covered with blood.
Ouyang Xu looked at this knife, his eyes shrank slightly, and he praised in a low voice, "Good knife technique"!
"Finally shot?"
Xiao Chen muttered in a low voice, raised his head and took another sip of wine, turned sideways, and found a comfortable position to lean on the carriage.
The next moment, there was a sudden burst of dense shouts in the night!
The sound of thunderous footsteps came from the dim canyon, but then, as if disturbed by something, the sound of the sound was chaotic in the night. The steel collided and became a solo melody in the canyon.
There were constant screams and wails coming from not far away, and a strong smell of blood permeated around Xiao Chen's carriage. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Chen sat outside the carriage with a wine jug, half drunk and half awake.
At the top of the Fallen Soul Gorge, the lights were bright, and the five princes and Bai Qi each occupied one side, looking at the scene at the bottom of the canyon indifferently.
Even if it is far away, you can still see that the dozens of black-clothed people have fallen into a bitter battle at the moment, and beside those black-clothed people, countless figures wearing various costumes are crowded, and every time the figures are staggered, there will be an extra cold corpse in the canyon. But in general, the man in black, who was not superior in numbers, was approaching the end of the crossbow at this moment.
Bai Qi suddenly showed a smile on his face, and looked at Linghu Chu, who was pale-faced not far away, and said:
"Lord Linghu, it seems that our Yong'an King has been prepared for a long time? If the prince uses this means, I am afraid that he will fall short. ”
Ling Hu Chu frowned, his fists clenched tightly, and then waved his hand and said:
"Order the camp of the dead, today, we must take Xiao Chen's head!"
In the darkness, a figure quickly left when he heard the order, completely unaware that a cold color flashed in Bai Qi's eyes in the dark night.
"Sure enough, there are still hidden means in the secret!"
