Chapter 65: The Gambling Contract

Seeing that Xiang Ye and the others were leaving, Xiahou Ying hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and after giving them a deep look, he said: "If the three of you have nowhere to go at night, I want to ask the three of you to go back to the barracks with me to rest for the time being, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Barracks?" Xiang Ye tilted his head and asked, "I don't know which military camp Mr. is talking about?" ”

"Tell me the truth!" Xiahou Ying saw Xiang Ye asking, bowed slightly and said: "Under the command of Pei Gong Liu Bang, now Pei Cheng and General Xiang Yu are leading the army to the west, and the place where I want to take the three heroes is the military camp where Pei Gong is located." ”

"Oh!" Xiang Ye nodded, pretending to hesitate for a while before saying, "Since Mr. Xiahou has invited, I have nowhere to go tonight, and why not go with Mr. Xiahou!" ”

"Heroes, please get on the horse!" Seeing that Xiang Ye promised to return to the barracks with him, Xiahou Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and stretched out his hand towards Xiang Ye to make a gesture of invitation.

Xiang Ye was not polite, he approached the war horse unhurriedly, and when he walked to the side of the war horse, he saw that it was actually a war horse with a fur as bright red as a flame.

When he saw the bright red coat color, he was stunned, the red war horse Xiang Ye had not seen before, but the red horses he had seen in the past were all jujube red coat color, and he had never seen a war horse with such a bright coat color.

"This horse's name is Chiji." Seeing Xiang Ye's face full of astonishment, Xiahou Ying couldn't help but feel a little proud, he stroked the mane of the war horse and introduced it to Xiang Ye: "According to legend, Zhou Tianzi once pulled a cart with eight horses, but he traveled 30,000 miles a day, and Chiji was one of them, of course, this horse could not be the one that pulled the cart for Zhou Tianzi back then, but it was also a good horse that could travel thousands of miles a day, and it was comparable to General Xiang Yu's crotch!" ”

After listening to Xiahou Ying's introduction, Xiang Ye couldn't help but take two more glances at the bright red war horse in front of him.

Xiahou Ying tilted her head and looked at Xiang Ye's face, smiled slightly and said, "If Xiang Yingying likes it, how about I give you this horse?" ”

"This ...... Not good! Xiang Ye said that it was not good, but his eyes did not take away from Chi Ji's body.

Seeing this, Xiahou Ying knew that Xiang Ye had taken a fancy to this horse, and hurriedly said: "Such a famous horse must be matched with a true hero to not insult its name, and it was also obtained by accident in the next, and it is really humiliating to follow it, if you give him to Xiang Yingying, it will be famous for eternity in the future!" ”

Xiang Ye smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiahou has won a false award, he is not a hero in Xia, this horse follows me, maybe it will also tarnish its reputation!" ”

Xiahou Ying smiled faintly, bowed down and made a gesture to Xiang Ye again. Xiang Ye was not polite, turned over and jumped on horseback.

This horse is much taller than the horses Xiang Ye has seen before, the war horses of the Qin Dynasty are generally short, and it is rare to see a tall horse like this, Xiang Yu's black horse should be of a different species, and this red horse should have the blood of a good horse in the north.

Xiang Ye jumped on the horse, hung his feet on both sides of the horse's belly, gently shook the horse's reins, the war horse neighed, and ran towards Chengyang.

Xiang Ye's back looks heroic and graceful, and the people who look at his back are secretly envious. But Xiang Ye, who was riding on horseback, was bitter in his heart, running wildly with his hooves, jumping fast, and he had no other reason to stabilize himself on the horseback except for a rein in his hand.

has been jumping out for ten miles, the city wall of Chengyang is close at hand, Xiang Ye suddenly lifted the reins, and the war horse neighed and stood up, almost throwing Xiang Ye off the horse.

Finally stabilized his figure, Xiang Ye stood in the middle of the official road, turned his head and looked behind him, there was a vast night behind him, where could he see the figure of Xiahouying and others.

After waiting for half an hour, a few figures faintly appeared in the night, and seeing these figures, the corners of Xiang Ye's mouth pulled slightly, revealing a strange smile.

The people who appeared in front of Xiang Ye's eyes were not Xiahou Ying and Meng Su and others, but six swordsmen dressed in white and riding on low horses, the reason why they could be seen from afar was not Xiahou Ying and others, not only because they were wearing dazzling white clothes, but also because the direction they came from was not the direction Xiahou Ying and the others were going, Xiahou Ying and others came from the northwest, but these six people came from due west.

Xiang Ye smiled, not because he saw acquaintances or met anything happy, but because he found that behind this war aimed at the destruction of Great Qin, there were so many forces fighting each other for their own interests.

The black-clothed samurai had just been disposed of, and now six white-clothed swordsmen had emerged. Xiang Ye didn't know who these people were doing things for, but he knew very well that these six people must have rushed to the vicinity of Chengyang for some kind of benefit.

The six white-clothed swordsmen were very fast, and when they approached Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye suddenly found that there were three of his acquaintances among them, and the one in the lead was actually Xin Ling, who had intercepted and killed Chi Xue'e at the beginning, and it was Xin Tong and Xin Hao who were riding horses on the left and right sides of Xin Ling, and the three people behind them, Xiang Ye had never seen before.

Xiang Ye had a deep impression of Xin Ling and the others, when they killed Chi Xue'e's entire caravan with the strength of only three people, the number of people was completely unequal, but the massacre initiated by a few people against the majority had already been deeply imprinted in Xiang Ye's heart.

Xin Ling and the others quickly came to Xiang Ye's face, and when they passed by Xiang Ye, Xin Ling suddenly turned his head and looked at the war horse under Xiang Ye's crotch.

After letting out a "huh", Xin Ling turned his head and carefully looked at the war horse under Xiang Ye's crotch, and walked towards Xiang Ye by turning the horse's head.

"Where did you get this horse?" In front of Xiang Ye, Xin Ling's gaze was still on Chi Ji, and his eyes flashed with greedy brilliance and said, "You are dressed ordinary, but you are riding such a good horse, it must have been stolen!" ”

Xiang Ye shook his head and smiled and said, "Mr. really has a unique vision, this is indeed a good horse, but it was not stolen by me, but given by a friend." ”

Xin Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Gift from a friend? How much money does the person who gave you this horse need? You must know that this horse is not an ordinary horse, and I am afraid that only the young talent of the Jiangdong Xiang clan in the world, Xiang Yu, can be compared to the black horse under the crotch! ”

"Are you trying to steal my horse?" Xiang Ye saw Xin Ling's eyes full of greed, and when he spoke, he thought about leading him in the direction of a horse thief, and smiled disdainfully and said: "This horse was just given to me by a friend, if you want it, I'm afraid it will not be convenient for me to give it to you again, but if you want to rob it, it will be much easier, there are six of you, I am only one person, I really rob it, I can only watch." ”

Xin Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, he saw that Xiang Ye was dressed mediocre but riding a famous horse like Chiji, and he already had the idea of taking it for himself, but he couldn't find an excuse to take it for a while, so he stepped forward to embarrass Xiang Ye. Xiang Ye saw his intentions, and Xin Ling felt a lot more relaxed, anyway, he wanted to rob it, and it was much more comfortable to see that his intentions were more comfortable than beating around the bush.

"I do have a crush on your horse." Xin Ling no longer beat around the bush, and said with an uncomfortable smile at Xiang Ye: "No matter how good the horse is, it is just a mount after all, if you lose your life for it, it is not very cost-effective, if you cherish your life, I advise you to take the initiative to give it to me!" ”

If Xin Ling had said this sentence to Xiang Ye a few days ago, Xiang Ye would have turned over and jumped off the horse without hesitation, even if he was distressed, he would have given Chi Ji to Xin Ling, but since Gai Nie taught him Xianglong swordsmanship, he has always hoped to meet a real swordsman to compete.

Li Feng was naturally an undoubted master, but at that time, he was seriously injured by a sneak attack, and Xiang Ye missed the opportunity. Although the seven black-clothed warriors just now were extremely fast, their swordsmanship was mediocre. Now that he happened to meet Xin Ling, how could Xiang Ye let go of this great opportunity.

He reached out and gently stroked the mane on Chiji's head, looked at Chiji and said to Xin Ling: "If I say that I like this horse very much and don't want to give it to you at all, will you want to kill me and then forcibly take it away?" ”

The corners of Xin Ling's mouth rose, and he smiled slightly and said, "Could it be that you want to lose your life for a horse?" ”

When Xin Ling said this, Xiang Ye turned his head and looked at Xin Tong and the others standing not far away, he was surprised to find that Xin Tong and the others were staring at Xin Ling with annoyance, as if they were very tired of Xin Ling's practice of robbing people and things at every turn.

Seeing the expressions of Xin Tong and the others, Xiang Ye had a little bottom in his heart, and said to Xin Ling in a loud voice: "If you want to bully more and less, I'm afraid I'm really not an opponent, but if you come to snatch my horse alone, it may not be who dies in the end!" ”

As soon as Xiang Ye's words came out, the five swordsmen of the Wu Yue Sword Shrine standing on the side all sneered, and Xin Ling raised his head and laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha, I love your courage!" Xin Ling's smile looked very bright, and he seemed to be very happy and said to Xiang Ye: "It's the first time I've met such an interesting person as you, I need our joint efforts to kill you, I can kill you within twenty moves alone!" ”

"What if you can't kill me with twenty moves?" Xiang Ye looked at Xin Ling with a smile on his face, and said unhurriedly: "If you kill me within twenty moves, Chi Ji must belong to you, but if you can't kill me, shouldn't you give me something as compensation?" ”

Xin Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he took out the long sword from his waist and lit up in front of Xiang Ye's eyes and said: "This sword is called 'Canghong', and it was also given to me by a friend, if I can't cut you under the sword within twenty moves, it will be yours!" ”

Seeing "Canghong" again, Xiang Ye's heart twitched slightly, it was this sword that brought ruin to Chi Xue'e in the first place, and the caravan of hundreds of people became a corpse in a moment, if Chi Xue'e was here at this time, I don't know how she would feel when she saw this sword.
