"The owner's ability to ride a horse still needs to be practiced." Stopping the horse, Xing Xiaojiu burst out laughing. The owner who is behind is not fast enough, and he is still a lot behind.

Chen Jing was a little helpless. In his previous life, he had only ridden a foal once in the park for ten dollars, and he was led by a pleasure rider. Fortunately, I have been riding horses all this time, and I can be regarded as good at riding.

Afraid of provoking people's eyes, Chen Jing specially detoured a little farther before running across the official road and into the dense forest. If it's right, because of Mr. Big's matter, the people on Yuan Siqiao's side are already preparing.

Following the forest road, the two turned left and right, and arrived at the place of the appointment in the early afternoon. And Tai Shiqing has already been waiting on the side.

"Brother Chen!" Tai Shiqing, who got off the horse and walked over, was full of surprise.

"Brother Chen finally chose righteousness."

"Brother Taishi, has Mr. Big arrived?"

"It's here, and things are being discussed." Tai Shiqing's face was serious, "Please don't blame Brother Chen, just yesterday, Chief Yuan also brought out a traitor." The meaning of the chief helmsman is that after this matter is successful, it can also give Brother Chen a way out. ”

Chen Jing was silent, vaguely understanding. This time, he didn't act as a person of Juyi, but just helped escort Mr. Big.

"By the way, Brother Chen, these are two pairs of hemp noodles. You take it with you, and then you can use it. ”

Hemp noodles are the masked scarves of the green forest bandits, and when they kill people and steal goods, they cover their faces to avoid exposure.

"I also have a pair, and when the time comes, I will enter the city with Brother Chen." Tai Shiqing comforted, "Don't worry, as long as Mr. Big leaves Ping'an Town, Brother Chen will be considered complete, and the rest will be handed over to others to do." ”

"In the past, Chief Helmsman Yuan proposed many candidates, but in the end, he still decided to choose Brother Chen."

"I guess it's because I grew up in Ping'an Town?"

"Not true. Chief Yuan said that it is one thing to know the way, but people who are not afraid of danger and can deal with it easily, even if it is me, are not as good as Brother Chen. ”

"Brother Taishi's praise."

Tai Shiqing was polite, and his expression became hesitant again.

"When Brother Chen asked me to inquire, he had already inquired. Your headhunter brother was tortured in prison. I heard that some prison officials were looking for personal vendettas, and they used a bamboo knife to pick out the nail cover of ten fingers, and locked the pipa bone. ”

Chen Jing frowned.

"But don't worry, Brother Chen, he's still alive."

"Brother Taishi, when can you enter the city?"

"At least in two days."

"Why is that?"

"The stake of our battalion will be changed in two days, and he will be on duty at the city gate. When the time comes, he will help you and me into the city. ”

Chen Jing nodded silently.

Tai Shiqing sighed, and wanted to comfort him a few more words, but he suddenly stopped his voice and looked sideways.

Chen Jing also turned his head sideways.

A figure galloped over and said a few words in Tai Shiqing's ear. Suddenly, Tai Shiqing's face was stunned, and he looked at Chen Jing and spoke seriously.

"Brother Chen, Mr. Big wants to see you."

……

Countless times, in Tai Shiqing's mouth, Yuan Siqiao's mouth, and in the mouths of many people, that Mr. Big has been mentioned.

Even, Chen Jing fantasized countless times. The man who presided over the change of the dynasty and won the love of the princess of a country, what a high-spirited person he should be.

But when he walked into the grass house in the forest, when the two met, Chen Jing only felt an inexplicable bitterness in his chest.

The person who was chased as a beacon by the people of the world was sitting on a wooden chair with his body bent over at the moment. However, at the age of 30, his hair has been gray, thin as a monkey, and when the wind blows, he will cover his mouth and cough twice.

Yuan Siqiao stood aside, covered Mr. Da with a big coat, and beckoned to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing approached.

Mr. Big finally turned around, and his eyes were sunken in his sockets, revealing a faint joy. On the extremely pale face, there was also a rare hint of ruddy.

"You are Chen Jing." The voice was hoarse, like a broken leather drum.

Chen Jing...... I've seen Mr. Big. ”

"No need to be polite, you come closer, my eyes are a little difficult to see people." After speaking, there were two more light coughs.

"If it had been two years ago, I would have stood up and returned the salute. But when I went to Jiangnan, someone poisoned the tea soup, and my broken body became more and more unbearable. ”

"Take your seats."

Yuan Siqiao, who was next to him, helped Chen Jing pour a cup of tea.

"Yotsuhashi told me about you. He said, "If I can return to Beijing safely, you will be the best candidate." Mr. Big leaned back in the wooden chair, his voice getting hoarse.

"If it is a man's business, I am not afraid of death. But my life and death are related to the great cause of the Restoration, so I can only hold on to my crippled body and try to compete with God for my birthday. ”

"Little owner, do you know what has become of Da Ran now?"

"I know some, the military affairs are not raised, the political affairs are not repaired, there are strong enemies outside, there are moths encroaching on the inside, and there are hidden signs of the death of the country."

Yuan Siqiao, who was on the side, was shocked and signaled Chen Jing not to talk nonsense, but was stopped by Mr. Da waving his hand.

"You go on."

"Let it go on, at most two, Da Ran will be in danger, and even the mountains and rivers will be shattered."

"Why II?"

"Beidi is a strong soldier and a rich country, at most thirty years, as long as there is enough grain, grass and war horses, it will inevitably be deployed on the border and swallow Daran."

Mr. Big was silent, "If I ask you, is it wise for the court to make decisions and want to cut the land and seek peace?" ”

"Cutting meat and feeding the tiger will only make the tiger more ferocious and want to have a full meal more."

Mr. Big laughed, "Chen Jing, you have the best talent." ”

"Mr. Big laughs, I'm a white body now, and I haven't even been admitted as a child."

"This ......"

Not only Mr. Big, but also Yuan Siqiao's face was a little silent.

"The ambition is not fame." Mr. Big nodded, without any dissatisfaction, "I originally wanted to win over, but it seems that you blocked the words by yourself." ”

Chen Jing sat steadily.

"Siqiao told me that in Ping'an Town, there are Xu Wuzhu in the town, and there are more than 4,000 battalions and many Jianghu eagle dogs. Not only me, but many people may not be able to come back. ”

"Mr. Big, my Yuan Siqiao-"

Mr. Big sighed and interrupted Yuan Siqiao's voice.

"As I said, I have a very light view of life and death. For many years, I have been working hard to support Da Ran's society. But for some reason, I was afraid that I would go to Huangquan, and I would regret many things in vain, and I always wanted to leave something for the whole world. ”

"Little proprietor, can you reach out?"

Chen Jing stretched out his hand.

In the grass house, the skinny gentleman seriously rolled up his wide sleeves, seemed to be grasping something in one hand, and put it in Chen Jing's hand.

Chen Jing lowered his head, looked at the empty palm, and fell into deep thought.

"The little proprietor knows what I gave you."

"A fire."

"What kind of fire?"

"I don't see its shape, but it is endless, it is a ball, which can burn the fire of the world's clarity."

Mr. Big's body trembled slightly, and the whole person laughed.
