Volume 1 The Rise of the West Chapter 140 Easy to sink and late
The night is coming to an end.
At the torii at the entrance of Jiying Town, a horse-drawn carriage came.
So early.
No one in Jiying Town will get out of bed.
There was a clear light outside.
However, it is impossible to tell whether it is moonlight or the morning sun that is about to break.
This clear light shone on the branches.
The shadows of the trees swayed.
The silence of the entire Jiying town is extreme.
A human head poked out of the carriage.
Look around.
Initial website https://
"Where is this?"
He twisted his neck.
I don't seem to be used to the small space inside the carriage.
It made him look very stiff all over his body.
The carriage was also really strange.
Just a horse galloping alone.
Not even a single driver.
I don't know if it's because this road is familiar because it's been walked countless times, or if this horse has been domesticated and has been human.
The carriage is not big.
It can even be said to be extremely small.
"This is Jiying Town. ”
Another voice sounded in the car.
It's no wonder that the previous person felt that his neck was as if he had fallen into a stiff neck, and it was unusually sore.
"Jiying Town? ”
And whether it is the one who pokes his head out or the voice that rises later, it is a man.
If the two men were sitting in such a small carriage, it would be a bit crowded.
Dingxi Domain.
The further west you go, the greater the temperature difference between day and night.
The probe man simply jumped out of the car.
He stretched out his arms and legs.
It's like smoking.
But it's a little thicker than smoke.
It's early in the morning.
There is still white air coming out of the words.
He didn't get out of the car.
There was no show up either.
"What's a good idea? It's just a name. ”
The person in the car said.
"Hey...... You said earlier that my name is good, what a twilight is heavy and the sky is wide. Now I'm praising the name of this Jiying Town, but you don't admit it. ”
The man opened the curtain of the carriage and said inside.
It seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with the casual attitude of the people who got off the bus.
So between the words, I can't help but run a little more.
It was Chu Kuo who got out of the car.
Sitting in the carriage was Huo Wang.
These two are none other than others.
It was Huo Wang and Chu Kuo.
It's just that he followed Huo Wang so passively.
Chu Kuo touched the sturdy horse that was pulling.
How could these two people rush from Dingxi Wangcheng to this Jiying Town overnight?
Chu Kuo didn't know.
Two hours ago.
He was still in the royal city of Dingxi.
I thought to myself, how strong is this horse?
It's like a magic horse!
There was a sword lying horizontally on his leg.
Huo Wang also stepped down from the throne and sat cross-legged across from him.
In the main hall of the palace, he sat face to face with Huo Wang.
He crossed his legs.
The flame color is slightly bluish.
Not exuberant enough, though.
In front of him was his small red clay stove.
The olive pits were burning in the furnace.
Huo Wang stared at the fireworks, unable to take his eyes off it.
It wasn't until he saw the fireworks jump slightly that he put the flask he had prepared in advance.
But it's extremely stable.
It's just burning unhurriedly.
The swordsman's eyes are the sharpest.
It was as sharp as the tip of the sword in their hand.
This jump is difficult for ordinary people to see.
But Huo Wang and Chu Kuo are both swordsmen.
"You drink, do you still need to drink lukewarm?"
Chu Kuo asked curiously.
The swordsman's hand is also very fast.
So as soon as he saw the change in the flame, the flask sat securely on it.
Chu Kuo laughed even harder.
The dignified King of the West, regardless of his martial arts cultivation.
"My stomach is not very good. ”
Huo Wang said.
Isn't this a joke?
"If you have a bad stomach, you should see a doctor. But you shouldn't drink. ”
Even if you visit famous doctors all over the world, you should heal his stomach, right?
But he said that his stomach was not good.
I want to fiddle with my sword.
was lined up by Huo Wang's palm.
Chu Kuo said.
He was very happy to see the blue fireworks in the red clay stove.
"You're probably taking this wine as medicine, are you?"
Chu Kuo asked.
"The flame must be steady! Otherwise, the temperature of the wine will not be uniform enough. ”
Huo Wang explained.
"Then why do you drink alcohol because you have a bad stomach?"
Chu Kuo asked.
"Wine is a medicine for the heart, not a stomach. ”
Huo Wang said.
Chu Kuo was a little embarrassed.
Compared to tea. He was indeed a drinker.
"Because you're an alcoholic. Sitting opposite a drinker and making tea is always out of place. ”
Huo Wang glanced up at Chu Kuo and said.
It can only be regarded as a court, but there is no public.
However, Chu Kuo still looked around with a weak heart.
But it is still a little embarrassing to be said by Huo Wang in front of the public like this.
Although there were only two of them in the great hall.
"Of course...... It's been a long time. ”
Huo Wang paused and said.
"Have you ever taken stomach medicine?"
Chu Kuo asked.
Chu Kuo said excitedly.
How excited is it?
There was a struggle on his face.
"Could it be that you're afraid of taking medicine?"
After a while, Chu Kuo sat down again.
"I just didn't expect that a big hero like you, who is famous all over the world, would be afraid to take medicine. ”
was so excited that he actually stood up with his sword and pointed at Huo Wang with his finger.
Huo Wang raised his head and looked at him calmly.
Huo Wang said.
"I'm not afraid!"
Chu Kuo said.
"Regardless of whether I am a hero or not, I don't say that this hero is not famous. But as long as it's a human being, I don't believe that there is no one who is not afraid to see Lang Zhong take medicine. ”
Huo Wang said coldly.
Chu Kuo was instantly deflated.
Chu Kuo patted his chest and said.
"You're not afraid, maybe it's because you've never seen Lang Zhong and never taken medicine. ”
It is true that he has not seen Lang Zhong once.
I haven't taken a pair of pills either.
I have to admit it.
Huo Wang was right.
Even if he tried his strength to protect his feet, it was useless.
Because there is always a time for sleep.
But that doesn't mean he hasn't been sick.
Walking out of the Zhenbei King Domain all the way barefoot, how could he not get sick?
One is to drink water.
One is sleeping.
His martial arts cultivation was not yet high enough to be able to run like this when he was asleep.
But there are only two ways he can deal with getting sick.
When you drink water until you can't drink it, you will spit it out with a mouthful of "wow".
When the contents of his stomach were vomited, he went to sleep.
He felt that being sick was having something unclean in his body.
Since it's something that's unclean, just spit it out.
When you wake up, you're usually hungry.
He doesn't eat either.
They usually sneak away to sleep in other cowsheds or stables.
Because relatively speaking, such places are relatively warm.
In his mind.
As long as I don't eat, don't move.
I'm afraid that those unclean things haven't been completely discharged.
If you eat something new, won't you get sick again?
This time, it wasn't for vomiting.
It's for satiety.
Then the disease will stop.
I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, so I went to pour another stomach with water.
At this point, another use for the cowshed horse pen came out.
Because there are always newborn calves or foals.
After tossing and turning three or two times like this, the illness is indeed cured.
But Chu Kuo himself was weakened by hunger, and he couldn't stand up holding on to the wall.
When he pulls the calf or foal aside by the tail, he puts his mouth up and sucks it in.
Drink enough milk or mare's milk.
With a new lease of life.
Naturally, there will be milk that can give birth to new life.
And then continued to walk forward.
But there are times when it's unlucky.
His mental head and physical strength were restored.
Needless to say, a lift jumped and flipped out.
In the end, he fainted from hunger.
But the peasant family is generally kind-hearted.
What if there is only one old cow or one old horse in the barn?
He had to hold on to the wall.
Chu Kuo hadn't eaten yet.
Just smelling the fragrance of the steamed buns.
I found a half-dead man lying in the barn and stable, and he usually carried it home.
Then take out a few white flour steamed buns that I am reluctant to eat on weekdays.
But if you don't meet the woman who gave you the sword.
Chu Kuo would not suffer such a sin and suffer like this.
This hunger is relieved.
I have to say that his luck is really good.
He didn't care about anything.
Someone helped him.
But he ate happily and received happily.
As long as you regain your strength, you can continue to walk west.
With that, he raised the sword in his hand.
These honest peasant uncles and aunts.
Before leaving, he would say something out loud:
"I will be famous all over the world in the future, and I will marry a beautiful woman as my wife! Remember to come to me when the time comes, my name is Chu Kuo! Chu Tian Chu, wide and wide!"
But they're more worried.
It should be Chu Kuo, a kid, who ate eight and a half steamed buns in one go.
Where do you know what to be famous all over the world?
But the name Chu Kuo was remembered in my mind.
He saw that the warm wine on the red clay stove had begun to bubble from the bottom.
It looks like it's going to open.
"After seeing Langzhong, I didn't see well after taking the medicine?"
Chu Kuo asked.
"That's probably because your master is not a good man. ”
Chu Kuo said a lot.
"My master is Lang Zhong. He raised me from a young age. ”
Huo Wang said.
After all, a casual person like him has no scruples when he speaks.
But he also knew.
Immediately, his face was a little nervous.
He just said it casually.
Huo Wang smiled and said.
He was relieved of that.
You shouldn't say that about someone else's master.
"You're right. He's not a good man. I still don't know how many pounds and pounds he uses to grasp the medicine. ”
Chu Kuo looked at the already boiling wine soup and asked.
"You can drink what you want. It's still a little hot when I'm about to drink it. Just remember to leave me a little. ”
Make nothing of.
"This wine...... Can't drink it yet?"
Chu Kuo asked.
His hand that was about to pick up the flask suddenly stopped.
Huo Wang said.
"Why are you inviting me to drink?"
"Anyway, I use a sword, too. It's not that delicate, but I'm not stupid. ”
Chu Kuo pursed his lips and said.
"You finally asked...... I thought you'd ignore this by your temperament. ”
Huo Wang said with a smile.
"You have something I need to do. ”
Chu Kuo said.
"Since you're not stupid, can't you guess why I invited you to drink?"
Huo Wang leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's not right. ”
"That's it, it's good for you and me. And you're so confident that I'm going to do it. That's why you invited me to drink. ”
Huo Wang nodded.
But then he waved his hand again.
Huo Wang said.
Chu Kuo didn't speak again.
Chu Kuo said.
"You're not stupid. ”
I don't care about the heat.
I picked up the flask and took a big sip.
That's all there is to it.
Or is it important to drink alcohol.
Stood up.
"I'm afraid I can't do this without drinking. ”
"If you have to do something, you can't drink too much. ”
Chu Kuo wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
Chu Kuo was puzzled.
"Because the last time you said you were going to kill me, you drank a lot of alcohol. ”
Huo Wang pondered for a moment and said.
"But why?"
"So this time, it's still a killing. Because you think I must drink a lot before I kill, that's why I'm going to drink more now. ”
Chu Kuo said.
Huo Wang explained.
He refilled the jug.
"Isn't the thought of in your head just for the sake of saying? If you only think in your head all the time, wouldn't you be crazy?"
Huo Wang said.
"Are you going to say everything that comes to mind?"
Huo Wang suddenly asked.
Obviously, he didn't agree with that.
"There are two kinds of madmen. An outer madman, an inner madman. You're talking about an outsider. ”
"A madman speaks without thinking. Anyone who uses his brain is not crazy. You look at him crazy, but in fact he is pretending. ”
Huo Wang said.
At least this is the first time Huo Wang has heard that there is a difference between inside and outside with a madman.
"In that case, you're at least an outsider. And I'm an inner lunatic. ”
Chu Kuo said.
The word is fresh and tight.
"People are not normal. Even if you're not crazy, you have to have some fetishes. The fetish is much better, and after a long time, it is a kind of madness. ”
Chu Kuo said.
Huo Wang finally took a sip of wine.
It seems that it is only now that he is at the time of his call.
Divide the wine in this jug.
Wait until the last sip of the wine is in your stomach. Huo Wangcai stood up.
He also took a sip.
The two of them just took one bite at a time.
But Huo Wang never answered again.
When the two of them spoke again,
Carrying his sword, he walked towards the outside of the main hall.
Along the way, Chu Kuo was still chattering and asking questions.
Huo Wang said.
"Do you still want to drink?"
It's been to this Jiying Town.
"There is a Xiangteng restaurant in Jiying Town. ”
Huo Wang said.
"Since he called a restaurant, his main duty is to drink. ”
Chu Kuo asked.
"If you call a restaurant, you don't necessarily have to drink alcohol. ”
"Further west of Jiying Town, is the Grassland Royal Court. ”
Huo Wang said.
Chu Kuo hugged the sword.
Don't give an inch between words.
It's not just the Prairie Court.
He didn't even know about this Jiying Town and Xiangteng Restaurant.
"I don't know. ”
Chu Kuo said.
How would he know?
"Now that I've said it, don't you know?"
Chu Kuo had never been to Jiying Town.
I have never entered Xiangteng Restaurant.
Chu Kuo said.
"You might as well ask more directly. ”
Huo Wang said.
"Now I know. But I still don't know what you're going to ask me to do. ”
Chu Kuo asked.
"Ask me directly who I killed, how to kill, and why. ”
Huo Wang also got out of the carriage.
"What does it take to be direct?"
Chu Kuo said.
Huo Wang nodded.
Huo Wang said.
"I'm asking these questions now. But I won't listen to you. ”
I heard Huo Wang blow a whistle.
The horse pulled the carriage and rushed into Jiying Town.
"Get in the car!"
Chu Kuo hadn't reacted yet.
The carriage stopped in front of the Xiangteng Inn.
The door to the inn was ajar.
Chu Kuoruo's reaction was three points slower.
He had no choice but to eat dirt after the carriage.
"Squeak!"
Huo Wang pushed the door open.
Through the half-closed door.
Chu Kuo saw that only one Xiao Er was dozing off on the table.
"Are the two of you objectively staying in the store or sharpening? If so, the chef hasn't gotten up yet. I'm afraid I'll have to wait!"
Xiao Er clasped his hands and stepped forward and said.
Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Wang walk in.
Immediately, he bowed slightly.
After hearing this, Xiao Er said, "Gotcha!"
took the two of them upstairs first.
"Don't eat vegetables. Just serve a few jugs of good wine. Open an upper room. ”
Huo Wang said.
Huo Wang asked.
"It's almost hot. ”
After a while, several pots of wine-rich wine were placed on the table in the room.
"Can you listen now?"
Huo Wang held up a pot of wine and touched it with a random pot on the table.
Immediately drank it all.
Chu Kuo said with a wink.
But he learned from Huo Wang's previous tone.
I swallowed it one bite at a time.
"Good wine...... It's pure!"
Chu Kuo picked up the pot of wine that Huo Wang had touched.
But he drank very slowly.
Empty the rest of the flasks on the table.
"It's time for the fire?"
Chu Kuo smacked his lips and said.
Then a pot in one hand.
Chu Kuo shook the empty wine jug and said.
"From here, we went all the way west, and we entered the territory of the Prairie Royal Court. ”
Huo Wang asked.
"Almost. ”
Chu Kuo was a little impatient.
He still didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear.
Huo Wang said.
"You've already said that. ”
"The matter of the Prairie Royal Court. You'll know it when you stay here for two days. I'm not going to explain much to you. ”
Huo Wang said.
"Repeat it just for fear that you will forget. ”
Huo Wang saw the strange look on his face and spoke.
"That's right. ”
Huo Wang nodded.
"Could it be that you are the one who wants me to kill the Prairie Royal Court?"
Chu Kuo asked.
"If you kill this person, you will not only do me a great favor, but you will also make you famous all over the world. ”
Huo Wang said.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's only good for you. What's in it for me?"
Chu Kuo asked playfully.
"Si Feng. The three princes of the grassland royal court swallowing the moon department, Si Feng. ”
Huo Wang said.
"Who?"
When Chu Kuo heard that he could make him famous all over the world, he immediately became interested.
A child stumbled along.
Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is going to fall to the ground in the next moment, dreaming of a thousand years.
————————
"Grandpa, I haven't slept enough!"
He was carrying a fishing rod.
At the end of the rod hangs a short sword.
"If you're leaving, you have to do it early. ”
An old man said.
"I want to walk. ”
The old man said.
"Grandpa, why don't you use your ability to shrink the ground into inches? In this case, wouldn't it be a matter of an instant to arrive at the Dingxi Palace?"
The boy asked.
"Why don't I carry you on my back?"
The old man asked.
"I usually want to...... But it's too early today!"
The boy shook his head in dissatisfaction.
After saying that, he walked quickly.
He was more than a dozen steps ahead of the old man in one go.
"Forget it...... You said that you carried me and hung me on that hook. Looks like a dead fish. I don't want ......."
Xiao Tong said.
"Then I'll go grab a horse!"
Xiao Tong's naughty temperament rose again, and he said unconvinced.
"You're walking so fast, and in the end you don't have the strength, don't you want to be hung on the hook by me?"
The old man said.
The child was a little surprised.
He couldn't figure out why his grandfather, who had always been obedient to him, didn't give an inch today.
"If you can grab it, you can do it. But no matter what you ride or whatever, I have to walk. ”
The old man said.
Compared to passive waiting.
The child's quick temper would rather be the first to take the initiative to find each other.
Does Grandpa know that there will be some mysteries along the way?
But even if there is a mystery, you don't have to walk to encounter it.
The boy was silent.
Grandpa said so, and he couldn't push it back.
"Because there are some people who are worth walking through and seeing each other. ”
The old man said with a long sigh.
It's worth following this step by the side of grandpa.
However, the insects and ants that appeared on the ground from time to time kept him from being too bored along the way.
Occasionally kick a small rock off.
Watch the stone fall into the invisible distance.
It's also a way to relieve boredom.
