Night, dense forest, big knights and small owners.

Chen Jing and Yuan Siqiao stood side by side on the edge of the dense forest, looking out at the darkness ahead.

"There are three people who can't see through this time." Yuan Siqiao sighed and spoke.

"The guard of the West City Gate, although he is a student of Mr. Big, but the shadow son I left by his side has not been seen for many days, and it is estimated that he is dead. I originally wanted to tell Mr. Big, but you have also seen that if it continues to be consumed, more and more battalions will be transferred. ”

"I'm running out of options. But fortunately, you Chen Jing entered the game and helped Mr. Da leave Ping'an Town. ”

Chen Jing thought for a moment, "The chief helmsman said that there are three people in total who can't see through it. The last person should be Du Wei Tian An. ”

"No, it's someone else."

"Who's that?"

Yuan Siqiao was silent for a while, "You don't have to ask, maybe I'm thinking too much." After this incident, I was ready to enter Beijing. ”

Chen Jing also thought that Yuan Siqiao would let him follow him into Beijing as before. But this time, Yuan Siqiao was extremely calm.

"If you tell me what I mean, don't follow me."

"Chief helmsman, why is that?"

"You stay out of the way, no matter what the law changes, at least there is another hope in my heart."

Chen Jing didn't understand.

Yuan Siqiao turned his head, and the sadness in his eyes almost overflowed his entire face.

"This time, only 30 of the more than 100 righteous soldiers died, and most of Mr. Big's guards were also martyred. Of course, we worked together to kill the thieves, and Xu Wuzhu's battalion estimated that there were thousands of casualties. ”

"You and Xu Lingjun...... Who won? ”

"You can't tell the winner." Yuan Siqiao lowered his eyes, "But I know that your brother Xia Zhutou died in the city." He even fought with Xu Lingjun for more than forty or fifty rounds. If the body is not injured, it is impossible to say that there will be a beating. ”

"I have also been to Ping'an Town before, and I heard from friends that in the village outside the town, there was a good man who practiced martial arts more than ten years ago, in order to avenge the villagers, he took a rusty knife into the mountain to kill the tiger, and in four or five days, he killed several fierce tigers on the mountain."

"But at that time, I didn't know the name because I was in a hurry to enter Beijing. But now, I already know. His name is Xia Chong, and he broke the tiger bone with one sword. If you have a good teacher, you can't say that you can become the seventh best in the world. ”

Chen Jing hung his head and wept.

Yuan Siqiao stretched out his hand and patted Chen Jing's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"You must be thinking that you are too weak to protect what you want to protect. But there is no way, this is the way of the world. As I said earlier, if you Chen Jing are placed in troubled times, you will be a hero-like character. Remember my words, don't get into the game too early. ”

"Helmsman, why is that?"

Yuan Siqiao shook his head, "I don't know, but I always want to persuade you to say this." ”

"You should have seen that...... Mr. Big's time is running out, and his body is almost unable to hold on. That's why he left the south early and returned to the capital to preside over the law change. ”

"When you go south, be very careful. The dust is not settled, and there will be cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods jumping out in the end. ”

"Chief helmsman, Mr. Big has a successor?"

Yuan Siqiao was silent for a long time before he spit out a name, "It's also your old friend, Tai Shiqing." After I enter Beijing, I will also help Mr. Big...... Let's pick a few other candidates. ”

Chen nodded, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, helmsman, that blackwood card—"

"Keep it. Although there are not many people in the south, there are still some people. Perhaps, it can help you. ”

"There are three incense lords in the world?"

"The other two are still in my hands." Yuan Siqiao smiled, "Let me say something pleasing to me, if I die one day, I can't say that you can rely on this token to be the chief helmsman." ”

"I don't know martial arts." Chen Jing's face was speechless.

"A person's martial arts skills are not great. But you will be the martial arts of the whole world, and you are the hero. ”

"The helmsman always likes to praise me."

Yuan Siqiao was stunned, and the whole person laughed.

The darkness in the distance has already had the first rays of dawn. The morning breeze blew the robes of the two of them fluttering.

"Brother Chen, you and I must say goodbye eventually. Take my word to heart, don't get in too early, it will be very bad for you. ”

"Helmsman, I remember."

Yuan Siqiao nodded, and suddenly took out several cheats from his arms.

"Don't look at it, it's all knife cheats. It took a lot of effort, and it wasn't for you, it was for your guard, it seemed to be called Brother Jiu? ”

"It's Xing Xiaojiu, a native of Xiazhou."

"You have no hope of learning martial arts in this life...... I thought about it, and I made him more powerful to protect you. ”

Chen Jing's face was excited. Needless to say, Xing Xiaojiu's loyalty, if he can really become more powerful, he can be regarded as a guarantee for himself.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu!"

Xing Xiaojiu hurriedly ran over, still holding a roast bird leg in his hand.

Yuan Siqiao stretched out his hand and handed the secret books to Xing Xiaojiu.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and thank the chief helmsman."

After seeing that it was a sword cheat, Xing Xiaojiu looked ecstatic, and he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Siqiao.

"Let me ask more, Brother Chen may be well-informed...... I want to ask, what does the prosperous world look like? ”

Chen Jing thought for a while, "The country is at its peak, and the Quartet is coming to the court." The soldiers are brave and brave to death, the spears guard the frontier, and the people have abundant rice warehouses and can live and work in peace and contentment. The revival of the hundred schools of thought, the chivalrous of the breeze rudder hangs the sword and travels, and there is no dog official to behead. In the court, my Emperor Da Ran only needs to stomp his feet, and he is shocked by the south and the north, and the four sides are small, and they are in constant panic day and night. ”

Yuan Siqiao's face slowly showed a look of hope. He laughed, and the laughter went on for a long time.

There was about half a pillar of incense, and Yuan Siqiao regained his expression.

"Thank you Brother Chen for telling me, I still need to go back to prepare, you and I will say goodbye." Yuan Siqiao's tone was reluctant, "One day, Mr. Da decides on the country, I will retire after success, and then go to the south to find you for a drink." ”

There was another possibility, but neither of them mentioned it now. The road that no one dares to take is originally to overcome obstacles all the way.

"The world is not afraid, the rivers and lakes are far away, and you and I have our own time to reunite."

There were forest birds passing by, and Yuan Siqiao's white clothes swept lightly, flying with the forest birds, disappearing in the white light and morning light.

……

"Xia Zhutou, you will be rich and noble in the next life, marry a good girl in ten rooms, and be a rich man with rice and silver." Xing Xiaojiu's eyes were red, and from time to time, he threw the paper money into the air and scattered it with the wind.

"Congratulations to Xia Zhutou—"

Chen Jing held the urn and was silent for a long time before shaking his hand and sprinkling the first handful of ashes on the hot soil and green mountains. As Xia Chong's wish, he asked for the people's lives and protected the land and the people.

The world is very dirty, but there are still clean people who don't want to get close to the ink, and keep their original intentions and hearts.

Chen Jing remembered that gentle face again, wearing a tie and pressing a knife, and walked up to him, his face full of worry.

"Brother all the way."
