Chapter 108: Two Lines of Green Smoke

Emperor Song Heng of the Han Dynasty is calling people into the palace every day to discuss political affairs, Han Shangru is always by his side, and the Huai King of Tanglin is getting weaker and weaker, and Xia Chunqiu is coercing and tempting, constantly seeking power for himself, preparing for the spring breeze to blow again in the coming year, when everything is recovering, start his own grand cause, and in addition to the two people who are very eye-catching in every move, other ordinary people in the world are also carrying out their own lives.

Under the cold winter, Huo Ming, the corpse picker in the lower reaches of the Han River, and Qin Kunbo, who went to the Huai River, both put down their work and went to the west, and the prime minister took his daughter every day to try political affairs in the Daming Palace, and the Taiwei left the Daming Palace at this time, walked around the barracks against the cold wind, and told the military strength of all places not to relax, Chen Wanqing went to play chess with the Taifu in addition to the professor, Liu Bingguo was avoiding Cao Jie, and Chai Fei was studying back and forth among the learned people.

But no matter who it is, these people are carrying out their activities in a warm room, wearing thick clothes, worry-free meals, windy and snowy, they don't have to care, but these are all things that Chen Xikang, who is floating outside, can't ignore.

Knowing that Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng were following behind him, and that Xia Chunqiu finally sent assassins, Chen Xikang stayed in Nanjun for ten days, and after rounding all the assassins hiding in the shadows, he immediately took Lao Jin Heyi to Huainan.

Huainan is mostly a wild land, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many fierce beasts inhabiting it in the mountains and forests with abundant vegetation, and the human tracks are rare, which is the easiest place to hide their whereabouts, and Chen Xikang, who has been going to Taiwu in advance to make a quasi-book, has appeared in the big forest of Huainan at this time.

When I looked up, I saw only the blue sky, and the trees were just big trees, and under my feet, there was just a narrow path full of dead grass because of the rarity of people, and those walking on the road could often hear the fierce winter wind whistling by.

Although he has added a padded jacket to himself, there is no material to speak of, after wearing it for a long time, there are holes everywhere at this time, and a little cotton stuffed in it is exposed, but even so, Chen Xikang is reluctant and does not dare to throw it away.

"Lao Jin, we have been walking in the mountains of Huainan for three whole days, are you sure that if you keep walking, you can go to Tianxing City, where Song Yin is located?"

After shrugging his shoulders and shaking the sword box on his back to his shoulder, Chen Xikang, who was red from the cold, asked Lao Jin beside him angrily.

Seeing that the "brother" next to him was blowing hot breath on his hands and rubbing his hands quickly, Yile, who was wearing the thickest and warmest clothes, pulled Chen Xikang's cold hand into his pocket without saying a word.

When he felt the warmth, Chen Xikang didn't pull his hand out, the money on his body was all warmed by Yile's clothes, and Yile should cover his hands.

"Lord Wang, Huainan is so big, and almost all of them are barren places, how can it be possible to go to Tianxing County in three or two days. And the location of Tianxing City in the north of Huainan, we entered Huainan from Nanjun, from south to north, and walked the farthest road from Tianxing City, if I want to say, it will take at least ten days and half a month to see Tianxing City. ”

Lao Jin said, when the cold wind blew, his body also trembled, and as for his feet wrapped in straw sandals, they were already covered with many cracks and frostbitten at this time.

Chen Xikang told Lao Jin more than once to change his shoes, but Lao Jin just didn't change it, and after knowing that Lao Jin was particularly persistent in some things, Chen Xikang didn't persuade Lao Jin again.

"Yile, are you hungry, are you hungry, tell my brother when you're hungry, a good living person can still be starved to death in this mountain wilderness, it's a big deal, let's go hunting!"

Hearing Lao Jin's words, Chen Xikang, who was holding back his strength and hurrying, was suddenly deflated, and looked at Yile who was holding his hand tightly in his pocket, and he also spoke gently.

On Longhu Mountain, knowing that Yile was only eighteen years old, Chen Xikang named Yile and asked him to call himself brother, although he couldn't open his mouth at first, but under Chen Xikang's care and consideration, he gradually became intimate with Chen Xikang, and Chen Xikang was not stiff when he called his brother, but the mask on his face was never taken off.

"Brother, I'm not hungry, but if you're hungry, tell me that I'm good at hunting in the jungle, and I had such a training subject when I was a child. ”

Hearing Yile speak, Chen Xikang just habitually scratched his black and shiny hair.

In winter, people always rest early, one is to warm up in the quilt, and the other is that it always gets dark earlier in winter.

After knowing that even if he was in a hurry, it would still take a lot of time to reach Tianxing, Chen Xikang was not in a hurry.

After spending a little dry food and waiting for the rabbit for two hours, and using all the Dao Nine techniques he had learned, Chen Xikang finally hunted a fat rabbit.

The thick clouds of white smoke disappeared and the warmth gradually spread when the red flames rose.

After the rabbit hunted was simply processed, Lao Jin was familiar with the way to start baking.

When he was in Nanjun before, he had already shaken the tail behind him cleanly, but now in such a deep mountain range, there is no longer a person, and when Chen Xikang thought like this, a pair of eyes stared directly at the rabbit on the fire, but the smoke rising more than ten miles away made him cry out to hell.

He had been walking in the mountains for a few days, and had never seen anyone in the process, but now that he had just made a fire, and when the location was exposed, smoke rose in the distance, and he could not believe that the man in the distance was a farmer who had accidentally entered the forest.

If the other assassins were all ordained, they would definitely look at it when they saw their location exposed, but the people in the distance also chose to light a fire, which means that the two were not so anxious to find themselves, or they were confident in themselves.

Chen Xikang pondered in his heart, he estimated that the people in the distance should be Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng, after all, after the other assassins lost themselves in Nanjun, they would not be able to touch their traces for a while, only the two who came from Hanyang and were strong and powerful had this ability, and probably knew where they went.

But even if he has already guessed in his heart, Chen Xikang, who is cold and hungry, no longer wants to hide, he would rather fight than roast and eat meat!

After such a decision, Chen Xikang did not leave.

In the distance, almost the same scene was unfolding, and the two who raised the fire also set a rabbit on the fire, but the rabbit handled by the two was obviously rougher than that of Lao Jin.

From childhood to adulthood, the two of them who don't touch the spring water know how to deal with a live game, but now they are really hungry, and the two are still forced to do it themselves, although the processed hare is still a little unsatisfactory, but at this time, the two who are also cold and hungry don't want to care so much.

Chen Xikang saw the green smoke in the distance, and Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng also saw the movement ahead, but as enemies, the two parties, who had guessed each other's identities, did not choose to clash, but decided to solve the warmth problem first.

After chasing and killing Chen Xikang for so long, Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng also had some experience, so after guessing that Chen Xikang would go directly to Tianxing from the mountains of Huainan, the two also followed, but they didn't expect that the mountain road was so far away The two only brought a little dry food, and they were already hungry at this time!

"Sir, Chen Xikang is in the distance, when he sees us making a fire, will he quietly and silently touch it back?"

His eyes were smoked with green smoke to tears, and at this time, Baili Changfeng, who was stiffly roasting the hare, said in a worried tone.

This deep mountain and wild mountain, and it is the cold winter season, who will come here, so the person who lit the fire in front must be Chen Xikang and his party, although it is their task to kill Chen Xikang, but now he really just wants to eat something and roast the fire.

Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future.

"Don't worry, he's already very glad that we don't trouble him. And with his cautious and cautious character, he chose to light a fire that is easy to expose his position, which shows that he is also as cold and hungry as us, and he can't take care of us at this time. ”

Zhuge Daming said, his eyes stayed on the shelf, and there was even a hurry in his eyes, as if he was wondering why it took so long to bake a hare with such a hot flame.

The same ingredients, but in different hands, they have different flavors.

When Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng started in advance because they didn't understand the heat and didn't know what it was to be raw and cooked, Lao Jin was still roasting it carefully, and when the taste was a little wrong while eating, and the two who had not yet cooked the meat did the second round of roasting the hare, the three people in the distance were already enjoying it.

When Chen Xikang and the others had eaten and drunk enough, because of the previous lesson, Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng, who had used too much force, roasted the meat.

Looking at the pitch-black flesh in their hands, when their brows furrowed slightly, a solemn expression also appeared on the faces of the two.

"Changfeng, this thing is really edible?"

"Sir, I'll try the taste first, if I really can't eat it, we'll have to go hunting overnight. ”

Baili Changfeng said, and his expression was extremely reluctant to bite down on the charred meat in his hand, but after chewing it carefully, Baili Changfeng's expression immediately became pleasantly surprised.

"Sir, it tastes good!"

A hundred miles of wind have tried it, and I have heard such an evaluation, and Zhuge Daming also tried to bite it.

Soon, half of the charred rabbit was left with clean bones.

In fact, the charred meat is not fragrant at all, but the two of them are too hungry.
