Chapter 323: One Sword (Two in One)
Outside Jeju City, snowflakes flutter.
In an open space not far from Jeju, Bai Qi sat on the ground, and on the side, two guards held umbrellas, enveloping Lu Lengyan and Bai Qi.
The city gate slowly opened, and Xiao Chen took Ye Han, Ouyang Xu and others out of Jeju City. The fluttering snowflakes fell on everyone's shoulders, adding a bit of freedom and ease to several people.
When he walked to Bai Qi, he saw a wooden table in front of Bai Qi, and there was a jar of wine and two wine glasses on the wooden table.
Taking a deep look at Xiao Chen in front of him, Bai Qi smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please sit." ”
Xiao Chen sat down freely.
Bai Qi glanced lightly at Ye Han and the others behind Xiao Chen, and chuckled: "It seems that the prince still doesn't worry about me Bai Qi." What's the matter, are you worried that I Bai Qi won't be able to attack you Jeju, so I will suddenly use cold arrows on you? ”
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Who in the world doesn't know the prestige of General Bai Qi, and now that he has no choice but to go to the opposite side of the general, I naturally have to pay more attention." After all, it's a small life. ”
Bai Qi chuckled, lifted the wine seal, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine came to his face.
This is the smell of burning fire, Xiao Chen can't forget it.
Filling the wine glass in front of the two, Bai Qi said softly: "I heard before that the prince was also extremely obsessed with burning fire for a while, and I, Bai Qi, am a rough man. ”
Picking up the wine glass and sniffing it gently, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "It is indeed an authentic fire." Speaking of which, I am really used to the smell of burning fire, and that is when I talk about the first battle of Yong'an. ”
"You mean the time when the army of the Qianguo attacked Yong'an?" Bai Qi said softly.
Xiao Chen nodded: "Exactly." ”
Bai Qi showed a touch of emotion and said: "I still remember that in the Qianguo, you and I clearly agreed to let the Qianguo army enter the city, but I didn't expect that the prince broke his promise. As the gentleman often says, people don't stand without faith, and the prince's move is not a gentleman's doing. ”
Xiao Chen chuckled: "Fortunately, I'm not a gentleman." ”
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly, picked up the fire and drank it all.
In the void, there were bursts of roars from time to time, like the gods beating the drums of war. Xiao Chen knew that it should be the movement from the battle between Qiu Shi and Jia San.
The two sat opposite each other, seemingly in harmony, but the surroundings were already hiding murderous intentions.
Bai Qi suddenly said: "Lord Wang, now the Wei Kingdom is divided into two parts, one is me and the other is you." Such an infighting must be a lose-lose situation, which you can know by looking at Xia Guo and Li Luo today. I asked the prince to come out this time, just to ask the prince for advice. ”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "General, please speak." ”
Bai Qi said: "Although the State of Wei is still called the State of Wei, it has long existed in name only. In fact, it is you and me who are in charge. But as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, if you and I continue to stalemate like this, there will inevitably be a war. At that time, everyone was having a hard time. ”
"I can no longer pursue the matter of breaking the contract in the prince of Qian, and I also know the nature of the prince, you actually just want to be in a corner of peace, in this case, why don't you cancel Huazhou and hand over Cao Xun to me." At that time, I can assure the prince that you will always be the king of Yong'an of Wei, and I can let you enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth in Yong'an. ”
Xiao Chen looked at Bai Qi in front of him, in fact, for a moment, Xiao Chen was indeed tempted.
After all, his dream is indeed to be an idle prince.
But seeing Bai Qi on the other side, Xiao Chen's idea quickly dispersed, and if he changed anyone, today's Xiao Chen, maybe he really agreed.
But sitting opposite was Bai Qi, who had forced Cao Xun into a corner, so the situation was another matter.
Xiao Chen knew that Bai Qi was ruthless, if he gave up Huazhou, he would completely lose his qualification to negotiate with Bai Qi, and his life and death in the future would be completely in Bai Qi's hands.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "So the general's meaning is to let me send Huazhou, which I have worked so hard to fight, to the general?" ”
"It's not a delivery!" Bai Qi emphasized: "I just can't bear to see you and me end up fighting to the death and letting outsiders take advantage." It's good for you and good for me. ”
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "If it was me who said this today, I'm afraid the general would think I'm crazy, right?" ”
Bai Qi said: "Xiao Chen, you and I are not outsiders, and I don't say secret words, my ambition, you should know it in your heart." I want to reshape the Wei State, this is my long-cherished wish. And you are different, you are just trying to survive in this troubled world, there is no need to get along with me. ”
Xiao Chen took a drink from the wine glass and muttered: "Lord, needless to say, this kind of high-sounding words, in the past, I was indeed trying to survive, but now I am different. I've been put on a path from which I can't go back. ”
"Those heroic spirits who died for the struggle and hard work of Huazhou will not tolerate me making such a decision."
"And, right now, I still have some things to do."
Bai Qi frowned: "So, are you determined to fight me to the end?" ”
Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I have no intention of fighting with anyone, it's just that the battle in this world can't let me go." ”
Bai Qi's face quickly changed from calm to indifferent, and the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became solemn.
The sounds of the surrounding battles were endless, and the cold wind and murderous aura condensed together, making people shudder.
After being silent for a long time, Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "I'm giving you a chance, a chance to make a new choice." ”
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, picked up the fire on the table and poured a new glass, and muttered, "Then there is no need to talk about it." ”
Closing his eyes, the cold color on Bai Qi's face was intense to an extreme, like a snow-capped mountain that had been frozen for thousands of years.
With a slight wave of his hand, he saw two black shadows slowly walking from the snow. Gradually approaching Xiao Chen and the others.
"It's a guard, protecting the prince." Zhang Gu exclaimed in surprise, and the people around him guarded Xiao Chen in the middle.
Bai Qi looked at this scene indifferently and said: "You should know very well that the armor guard wants to kill you, but if you agree to my request, today, I can choose to break with the armor guard and protect you." ”
Xiao Chen, who was guarded by the group, took a sip of the wine glass unhurriedly, shook his head and said: "This is the general's Hongmen banquet, but it's a pity, a few days ago I deliberately found a gentleman to calculate, and the gentleman told me that my life is hard, less than a hundred years old, and it is difficult to die." ”
Bai Qi chuckled and shook his head, and instructed the black-robed man on the side, "Next, it depends on your ability." ”
Looking at the two black-robed people who stepped forward, Zhang Gu said with a cold gaze: "Ye Han and I dragged these two people. Han Che, take the prince back to the city with your master as soon as possible. ”
……
Unexpectedly, the armor guard didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Xiao Chen, but was easily dragged by Ye Han and Zhang Gu.
There was a loud roar around, and Bai Qi asked lightly: "I'll give you another chance, you still have a chance to regret it." ”33
Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked around, except for Han Che and Ouyang Xu, there were no outsiders around.
"Could it be that the general is also preparing to kill my Xiao Chen?"
When the soldiers in Jeju City heard the movement outside the city, they had already spontaneously organized an army out of the city and prepared to meet Xiao Chen.
At the city gate, the iron armor was ringing, and the sound of neat footsteps shook the heavens and the earth.
Xiao Chen said indifferently: "If you want to kill me Xiao Chen, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
Looking at the black pressure soldiers pouring out of the city gate, Bai Qi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Indeed, this is your Xiao Chen's territory after all, even if the armor guards pour out, they can't move you Xiao Chen at all." ”
As he spoke, Bai Qi's gaze looked at Ouyang Xu, who had a complicated and tangled face behind Xiao Chen, and muttered, "But the most dangerous things are often in the places where you are most likely to ignore. ”
"Smack!"
A crisp applause suddenly sounded in the night sky.
Only in the next moment, Xiao Chen heard two voices one after another, one was the sound of a sword being drawn, and the other was the dull sound of a long sword piercing into his body. The two voices were so fast that they were almost one, and even Xiao Chen himself didn't react.
Only when everything had settled, Xiao Chen turned his head to look at Ouyang Xu behind him in disbelief.
At this time, Ouyang Xu was holding a long sword in his hand, and the sharp blade had already pierced Xiao Chen's chest deeply.
Looking at the look of guilt on Ouyang Xu's face, Xiao Chen's heart was extremely complicated.
More than once, Xiao Chen had regarded Ouyang Xu as the most credible person, even if Ouyang Xu was sent by Bai Qi, but after such a long time of getting along, Xiao Chen believed that even if Ouyang Xu had different intentions, he would not do anything to him, after all, Ouyang Xu in the past actually had too many opportunities to kill himself.
And also......
Xiao Chen hadn't had time to think about it yet, but the feeling of weakness coming from his body had already deprived him of consciousness.
Han Che on the side was already stunned, and when Ouyang Xu reacted to Xiao Chen's move, Xiao Chen had already collapsed in a pool of blood.
"For ...... Why? After muttering for a long time, Han Che only squeezed out these three words from his mouth.
He couldn't believe that his master would actually attack his father.
Drawing out the long sword, Ouyang Xu slowly closed his eyes and did not speak.
Bai Qi, who was on the side, looked at Han Che indifferently and said, "Looking at your eyebrows, they are very similar to Han Feng before." You should be Han Feng's only son, Han Che, right? ”
Glancing at Xiao Chen who fell in the snow with emotion, Bai Qi shook his head lightly and said, "It seems that you still don't know who your master is?" This Xiao Chen is really smart but was mistaken by cleverness. He actually kept my person by his side and regarded him as a confidant, and I don't know if he has a big heart or is stupid. ”
At this time, Han Che, in the midst of the huge changes, completely became angry and full of hatred.
After Han Feng's death, it was Xiao Chen who gave him a second home. But he couldn't have imagined that the master, who he regarded as his relative, actually killed Xiao Chen.
Looking at Bai Qi with an angry face, Han Che clenched the long sword in his hand and said, "Your people? What exactly do you mean? ”
Not far away, when the armor saw the change in front of them, they also quickened their pace, and it only took a moment to get here.
Bai Qi got up slowly, glanced at Ouyang Xu lightly and said, "Ouyang Xu, it's time for us to go." ”
As he spoke, Bai Qi glanced at the angry Han Che with a mocking look and said, "Yes, I forgot to tell you that your master, that is, Ouyang Xu, is the enemy who killed your biological father, and he is also the number one killer under my Bai Qi's throne." ”
Ouyang Xu, who was trembling all over his body and seemed to be in an extreme inner entanglement, finally dissipated his momentum like a collapsed ball at this moment.
Looking at Ouyang Xu, who was still standing in place, Bai Qi asked again: "Don't you want to leave?" ”
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Xu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Bai Qi not far away, and said, "Kill Xiao Chen, even if I repay you for saving your life, from now on, you and I will no longer owe each other, I ...... Won't be going back to your barracks. ”
Bai Qi glanced at Ouyang Xu with a complicated look, but his face did not show any surprise.
"Boom, boom!"
Jeju's army was getting closer and closer, and the earth trembled with the vibrations of its footsteps.
Bai Qi let out a long sigh, then turned his head to look at Lu Lengyan and said, "Let's go." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
