Chapter Eighty-Three: The Shadow
Zhang Gu twisted his beard and said: "According to the report of the spies of the Qunying Pavilion, Ye Han led the two thousand soldiers of the battle camp to actually arrive at the nearest Tiger Roar City to Yangnan, Tiger Roar City is only dozens of miles away from Yangnan, and it is only half a day's journey, but after Ye Han arrived at Tiger Roaring City, he has not made any moves, and the old man is thinking about ......."
Li Luo glanced at Zhang Gu and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
Zhang Gu said in a condensed voice: "In the first battle of Dongfeng City that shocked the world, Li dared to die, although it was Sun Yixiao, one of the six famous generals, who was led that time, but as far as I know, Ye Han also played a decisive role in this battle. ”
"Under Ye Han, there is a team called Phantom, each of them is excellent in martial arts, good at assassination, in that battle, it was Phantom who took the lead in entering Dongfeng City, killed the soldiers defending the city, and opened the city gate."
"This time, Ye Han was originally ordered to pick up Sun Yue, and after Sun Yue's death, Ye Han's mission was actually over, but Ye Han did not return to the court, but went straight to Yangnan."
"In my opinion, this son is not good, I am worried that Ye Han will repeat his old tricks and send a phantom shadow to deal with you, the prince."
Xiao Chen leaned back on the recliner and said with some uncertainty: "If you want to say that the mastermind of killing Sun Yue is Bai Qi, and we are also famous, he can't do anything to me before Emperor Qian's decree, right?" ”
Zhang Gu shook his head and said: "Obviously, he naturally doesn't dare, but if he lets the shadow do it, he can completely deny it at that time, just like those great Confucians who died outside the post house before, nominally killed by the group of mountain bandits, but in reality?" ”
Xiao Chen gasped, if it was according to Zhang Gu's words, then Ye Han had been in Tiger Roaring City for so long, I am afraid that he had already sent the Phantom Shadow into Yangnan City, and even, maybe outside the post house at this time, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at his every move.
Xiao Chen didn't want to die, so he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Zhang, if it's really a shadow attack, can our Qunying Pavilion guards stop those assassins?" ”
Zhang Gu shook his head and said: "The Phantom is extremely mysterious, and it took me a few twists and turns to find out about the existence of this team, as for how strong the people in the Phantom are, I don't know." ”
"But what I can be sure of is that the master of the outside of the plug is a horse. The knife flow belongs to the shadow. ”
Xiao Chen, who didn't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, asked, "Is this stream very strong?" ”
Zhang Gu nodded and said: "Very strong, Xiang Liu has lived outside the plug since he was a child, and he chops a horse. knife, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been killed, and later, for some reason, Xiang Liu joined the phantom. ”
"I only know that when Xiang Liu joined the Shadow, his strength had already reached the realm of his true self. Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and with Xiang Liu's qualifications, I am afraid that he has at least stepped into the realm of a flower, and it can be said that among the people who traveled in Qunying Pavilion this time, except for the old man, no one is Xiang Liu's opponent. ”
Xiao Chen couldn't help but open his mouth wide, just one Xiang Liu is so powerful, who knows if there are Liu Liu and Zhang Liu in that shadow?
"Grandpa Zhang, otherwise, let's go back to Yong'an, this Yangnan seems to be unable to stay." Xiao Chen rubbed his hands and said.
Zhang Gu glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "It's late, I only want to go now, why did I go before?" ”
Xiao Chen smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm not tired from the journey, I want to rest in this Yangnan City." ”
With a light snort, Zhang Gu shook his head in disbelief and said: "Don't lie to the old man, although you kid didn't grow up with me, but after this period of contact, I also know that you are not an ordinary gentleman, I believe that the reason why you stay in Yangnan naturally has your reasons, the old man doesn't want to ask, you don't have to say, but the old man has to tell you that if the shadow really does it, then staying in the post house at this time is the safest choice." ”
"It's easier to give the shadow a chance to do it if you act rashly."
Xiao Chen nodded very seriously, these things on the rivers and lakes, Xiao Chen still has great trust in Zhang Gu.
It's just that I'm always hiding in the post house, and it's not a matter of saying it, so it's not a shrinking turtle?
I have to think of a way, Xiao Chen's face was pensive, his face was depressed, there was never a moment, Xiao Chen wished that there were a few more omnipotent martial arts masters around him.
counted and counted, there was only one Xue Wuxing and Zhang Gu beside him, but Zhang Gu was old, and Xue Wuxing was the commander of the Black Armor Army, so there were many inconveniences in mobilizing.
There is still an Ouyang Xu, but this Ouyang Xu is not his own person after all, so he is simply unavailable.
Zhang Gu took a deep look at Xiao Chen, whose face was solemn, although he knew Xiao Chen's distress, but there was no good solution for a while, so he could only arch his hand and say with relief: "Lord, the matter has come to this, please rest easy, the old man will definitely fall and the guards of the Qunying Pavilion will swear to protect the safety of the prince." ”
Nodding, Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Gu with a concerned expression and said, "Grandpa Zhang, I am fortunate to have suffered you during this time, you go back to rest and rest first, as for how to deal with the ghost, let me think about it again." ”
Zhang Gu replied and slowly retreated.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Chen was sullen alone, and Li Luo, the king of Huainan, had blood guards under him, and he was like a divine soldier on the battlefield. There is a shadow under Ye Han, the Marquis of Qianguo Anping, who takes people's lives in the dark.
What about yourself? There is a huge pavilion of heroes in the air, but no one can beat it.
The most critical point of this is that the heroes who should have fought on the rivers and lakes have been polished off the edges and corners of the gentle township of Yong'an Palace, and it is difficult to pick out a strong person who can take charge of himself.
They are like a group of domestic hunting dogs, usually catching chickens and rabbits, but when facing a fierce tiger.
Even if he can kill it with a numerical advantage, he is bound to suffer heavy losses, his honest father has been fortunate to have left such a little foundation for himself for most of his life, Xiao Chen doesn't want to take a shuttle. Ha is all over, this is not the situation he wants to see.
"Master...... Where can I find a master? Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
It's a pity that he knows almost nothing about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he can't come up with a result when he thinks left and right.
But if you want to say that Xiao Chen's ability to adjust his mentality is a first-class awesome, if he can't think of it, then he simply doesn't want to think about it, isn't it good to go to those big girls who are like flowers and jade to play around with him?
Just do it, Xiao Chen got up and left the hospital, and went straight to the courtyard of the third daughter.
Pushing the door in, the courtyard of the three girls was empty, and only Du Yingying was dancing in the garden with a long sword.
Xiao Chen's voice was not loud, and Du Yingying didn't seem to notice it, so she still waved the long sword in her hand with her own care.
If you want to say that Du Yingying in ordinary times is a rose with thorns, then Du Yingying when she dances the sword is like a snow plum that blooms in winter. That touch of free and easy demeanor, where can ordinary women have?
Xiao Chen leaned against the gate of the courtyard, unable to bear to interrupt this picturesque scene.
Xiao Chen can also be regarded as having seen many people's swordsmanship, just like the transcendent appearance of Wuchenzi, the courage of Xue Wuxing, and the fierceness of Ouyang Xu.
If it comes to martial arts attainments, this Du Nuxia, who has just entered the martial arts world, is naturally not clever, but just one word "beauty" has already overshadowed the heroes of the world in Xiao Chen's eyes.
The sword light in the courtyard was like water, Xiao Chen looked a little stupid for a while, and couldn't help but praise: "This sword, how can it not break the waist of the world's heroes?" ”
Xiao Chen's voice finally caught Du Yingying's attention, put away the long sword, Du Yingying's picturesque beautiful eyes scratched Xiao Chen fiercely and said, "It's a prince anyway, why can't you change the problem of peeking?" ”
Xiao Chen rubbed his hands without skin and facelessness and said, "This king is obviously standing at the door and looking at it in the open, why is it called a peek?" ”
Ignoring Xiao Chen's flamboyant tongue, Du Yingying walked to the table and sat down to pour two cups of tea, picked up a cup and took a sip of satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Do you want tea?" ”
Looking at Du Nuxia, who had been refusing to be thousands of miles away, to invite him to drink tea, Xiao Chen nodded hurriedly and said: "Drink, you must drink it, it is poisonous tea, and this king is willing to die." ”
"It's not in shape." Du Yingying muttered, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hang a shy smile.
The contact during this period of time has greatly changed Du Yingying's impression of Xiao Chen, from the original unscrupulous to the current prince who is full of sadness and helplessness, plus Xiao Chen is really good to her, Du Yingying is also thinking about whether she wants to let go of her past suspicions with Xiao Chen.
Where did Xiao Chen know Du Nuxia's thoughts, he only knew that Du Nuxia rarely invited herself to drink a cup of tea, which was more fragrant than the most beautiful wine in the world.
Picking up the teacup and drinking it all, Xiao Chen at this time had long forgotten the way Ji Wushuang taught him to taste tea.
The tea is already good, not to mention that it has a faint fragrance unique to women, which makes Xiao Chen a little lingering.
Looking at Xiao Chen, who was intoxicated, Du Yingying wanted to laugh a little, and wanted to ask Xiao Chen if he had dealt with those troubles, but when the words came to his lips, after a few hesitations, it turned into a cold inquiry.
"Are you here to find Sister Diexiang or Sun Simiao? They're all taking a nap. ”
Finally seeing Du Yingying's attitude change, Xiao Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm here to find you." ”
"Looking for me?" Du Yingying looked at Xiao Chen with a look of disbelief, as if she wanted to see the truth from Xiao Chen's eyes.
Feeling Du Yingying's scrutinizing gaze, Xiao Chen quickly straightened his spine, and looked at Du Yingying seriously with his eyes, for fear of revealing the slightest bit of horse's feet.
After looking at it for a while, Du Yingying really couldn't see that Xiao Chen had any signs of lying, and she became more and more happy, but she still said unrelentingly: "What are you looking for me to do, I won't say nice things, and I won't help you solve problems, is it difficult for Xiao Wang Ye to come to find him?" ”
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, and his brain was running wildly. I was just saying it casually, but I really wanted to find a reason for myself, but I couldn't think of anything.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen, as if thinking of something, raised his eyebrows, and a look of indifference immediately appeared on his face......
