Chapter 172: Life and Death Struggle
Two carriages came slowly from the driveway, and Du Yingying and the others finally arrived late.
Xiao Chen sent Fengyu to the carriage, as for those mountain bandits, Xiao Chen didn't pay attention to them, because he knew that Ouyang Xu would handle it himself.
On the silent mountain road, there was only the sound of horses' hooves and the creaking of the carriage, leaving only a few miserable corpses in the grove on the side.
On the back of the black wind, Xiao Chen was still wearing the tattered robe, and the blood stains on his face made his already gloomy face even more gloomy.
Ye Han rode his horse to Xiao Chen's side, glanced at the carriage behind him meaningfully, and said, "Who is that girl?" ”
Xiao Chen smiled: "A friend." ”
Ye Han looked incredulous, friend? Although he Ye Han rarely goes down the mountain, but on the bleak mountain, he always reads the book of love and love. Xiao Chen's lie couldn't hide from Ye Han's eyes.
However, seeing Xiao Chen's dull appearance, Ye Han could only change the topic and said:
"I'll tell you the truth, if I hadn't inquired all the way this time, you two would have been really dangerous today."
"But I'm also curious, how did you provoke those officers and soldiers of the Qianguo, but I heard that after you jumped into the river, those officers and soldiers searched for dozens of miles along the way, could it be that the empress of the Qianguo really planned to attack you?"
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and nodded: "There is this possibility, but there is also another possibility. ”
Ye Han and Xiao Chen's eyes looked at the carriage behind them.
"You mean, those officers and soldiers are targeting her?" Ye Han speculated.
Xiao Chen shook his head: "It's just a conjecture." ”
Ye Han frowned and said, "If this is the case, then this girl's origin is not simple." ”
Xiao Chen shook his head: "It's just a conjecture." ”
Ye Han couldn't help but remind: "You have to think about it, if that's the case, this girl is likely to bring you a lot of trouble in the future, otherwise it's better for you to leave her in Qianguo." ”
Xiao Chen looked at Ye Han with some surprise: "Leave her alone in Qianguo?" ”
Ye Han shrugged and said, "I just think that you kid has too many disasters around him now, and it may be better for you and her to leave her behind." ”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath: "Let's go to Yong'an." ”
Ye Han shook his head and smiled, and stopped talking.
"By the way, how is Yongan now?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
Ye Han smiled: "You know that I never pay attention to these things, I'll go and call you that Wu Liang fat man." ”
Not long after Ye Han left, the fat man Wu Liang came to Xiao Chen's side.
"Lord Wang." Wu Liang habitually shrunk his neck, revealing a flattering look.
Xiao Chen sat on the horse and looked into the distance with a heavy heart.
"Is there any movement in Qianguo?" Xiao Chen asked out loud.
Wu Liang shook his head and said, "It's been very calm at the moment, but I'm worried that they are holding back the bad." ”
"What about Bai Qi and Cao Chi?" Xiao Chen muttered, "They should be about to meet each other now, right?" ”
Wu Liang nodded and said: "Since Bai Qi returned to Wei, Cao Chi quickly formed an alliance with Linghu Chu and them, but the strange thing is that Bai Qi did not rush to attack the four kings, but stationed 200,000 troops outside Kyoto, but did not start. ”
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, through his understanding of Bai Qi, Xiao Chen could feel that Bai Qi was planning a conspiracy, which was enough to destroy the conspiracy of Cao Chi and the others in one blow.
Xiao Chen had a sense of urgency in his heart, he always had a premonition that once Cao Chi and the others were defeated, the next place to suffer would be Yong'an.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of resoluteness and said, "Let's go, return to Yong'an in the starry night." ”
……
Horses gallop and carriages jolt on the mountain paths.
In the carriage behind, Ji Wushuang squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, as if he didn't care about everything.
Next to Ji Wushuang, Han Che gestured in his hand, and from time to time there was a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, Han Che sighed in disappointment and shrank aside and became sullen.
Ji Wushuang opened his eyes and grinned, "At a young age, why do you sigh?" ”
Han Che pouted angrily and said: "My father-in-law told me that as long as I reach the first grade, he will take me wherever I go, but I have only barely entered the ranks of martial artists now, and the master taught me a sword yesterday, saying that as long as I understand this sword, I can immediately jump into the ranks of third-grade martial artists." ”
"But I thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out."
"Cultivating the above things...... Ji Wushuang shook his chin and muttered: "Although I don't know martial arts, I know that people have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step. ”
Han Che furrowed his brows and said: "But I still want to avenge my father, the revenge of killing my father is not the same as Dai Tian, I know that the master and they don't tell me where the enemy who killed my father is, the purpose is to protect me, but I can't let the master protect me forever, so I have to work hard." ”
Ji Wushuang smiled indifferently: "Love and hatred are very strange things, you are eager to take revenge now, but maybe when that day comes, you will find that what you know is not what you want to pursue at all." ”
Han Che could hear the cloud mountain fog, but he knew Ji Wushuang's status in Xiao Chen's heart, so he could only pretend to understand and nodded goodbye: "Han Che thanked Mr., I'll go out to breathe." ”
The poison man who saw through the world smiled deeply, waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”
Outside the carriage, Han Che held his chin in both hands thoughtfully, and what he was thinking about in his mind was still the sword that he didn't understand.
Looking at Ouyang Xu, who was riding forward in front of him, Han Che couldn't help but shout, "Master." ”
Ouyang Xu turned around and did not speak.
Han Che was a little weak-hearted, but he still mustered up the courage and said, "I can't understand that sword." ”
Ouyang Xu glanced at Han Che deeply, and said in a condensed voice: "That is a murderous sword, naturally it can only be comprehended in life and death." ”
Han Che said with a different look in his eyes: "Please also ask the master to help me." ”
Ouyang Xu's eyes shrank: "Really? ”
Han Che nodded, his gaze resolute.
"Yo, what are you masters and apprentices planning?" Xiao Chen's voice came from his ears, the speed of the black wind was too fast, Xiao Chen deliberately lowered his speed, and took a deep look at Ouyang Xu and Han Che.
Ouyang Xu arched his hand at Xiao Chen, and then told Xiao Chen the matter as it was.
After hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, looked at Ouyang Xu and said, "You agreed?" ”
Ouyang Xu nodded as a default, the smile on Xiao Chen's face became a little playful, he looked at Ouyang Xu and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Ouyang Xu's eyes rolled slightly, and then whispered to Xiao Chen.
Han Che in the carriage looked at Xiao Chen with big eyes, and the two were worried that Xiao Chen would not agree.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Ouyang Xu's suggestion, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shout "Okay"!
"It's such a fun thing, you might as well take me with you." Xiao Chen unexpectedly suggested.
Ouyang Xu had some scruples: "Lord Wang, you still have to rush back to Yong'an, I'm afraid that the trip will be delayed because of this matter." ”
Xiao Chen pointed to the black wind under his crotch: "They go first, there is a black wind, and they can't delay." ”
The team entered the territory of Yongzhou in Qianguo, Xiao Chen, Ye Han, Ouyang Xu and Han Che galloped towards Yandang Mountain in Yongzhou at a place where the mountain road forked.
Yongzhou Yandang Mountain is one of the most famous mountains in Yongzhou, but because Yandang Mountain is located on the border of Yongzhou, it also breeds a group of bandits named "Qinglong Gang".
They were divided in the wooded Yandang Mountain, and they robbed houses and houses, even in the huge rivers and lakes, they were also known for their ferocity.
Originally, the Taishou of Yongzhou had also sent troops many times, intending to wipe out this group of mountain bandits in one fell swoop, but because the Qinglong gang bandits were familiar with the surrounding environment, they survived many encirclements and suppressions.
As a result, the reputation of the Qinglong Gang became stronger and stronger, and in the end, there was a faint tendency to be compared with some big gangs.
Xiao Chen didn't plan to take the two swordsmen to level the ambitious feat of Yandang Mountain in one fell swoop, and after a few people came to a clearing at the foot of Yandang Mountain, they stopped.
Only Ouyang Xu nodded lightly at Xiao Chen, and then rode straight to Yandang Mountain.
It didn't take long for Ouyang Xu to come back with a person in one hand, the two of them were ragged, but their faces were vicious, and with a long knife with a green dragon handle on their waists, it was naturally not difficult to guess that these two people were bandits from Qinglong Mountain.
Throwing the two of them on the ground, Ouyang Xu pointed at Han Che on the side and said, "Kill him, I'll spare your life." ”
Han Che was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, this is what his master called the test of life and death.
Xiao Chen and Ye Han, who were not far away, looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't pay attention to it. Obviously, all this has long been tacitly approved by Xiao Chen.
Ouyang Xu turned his head to look at Han Che and said, "This is a real life-and-death fight, so don't think that I will help you." ”
The young Han Che was not timid, but nodded heavily, and a strong battle intent suddenly rose from his eyes.
As long as he can become stronger, everything is not important to him.
The two mountain bandits glanced at each other, although the situation in front of them made them a little confused, but in the face of life and death, they did not dare to be sloppy, they looked at Han Che with fierce intent, and the two slowly pulled out their long knives.
It's not just a little kid, they don't believe that they will capsize here.
A teenager, two strong men, and the battle of the three was accompanied by the charging of two mountain bandits.
In the first battle, Han Che used two swords respectively and cut off the long knives of the two.
But because of the disparity in strength, Han Che was also knocked back two steps in this collision.
Ouyang Xu's face was calm, but Xiao Chen was a little anxious, but he was stopped by Ye Han on the side waving his hand.
The two mountain bandits took advantage of the victory to pursue, and this time, perhaps because of the threat of death, Han Che's moves appeared messy for a moment.
It was this mess that made Han Che's arm already have a hideous blood mark.
Han Che was in pain and prostrate on the ground, letting the blood drip from his arm. The two mountain bandits were armed with long knives and approached Han Che step by step.
Ouyang Xu was still motionless, he was indeed doing what he said, and he could see that he was determined to ignore Han Che's life and death......
