Chapter Eighty-Nine: Swimming Against the Current

Soaking wet, Shen Chaixing and Linglong sat in the secret passage exhausted, by the faint light of the fire. Linglong'er tore off a piece of cloth on the hem of her skirt and helped Shen Chaixing bandage her wounds.

Shen Chaixing lowered his head and was silent, letting Linglong'er fiddle, and his mood was extremely depressed.

Frustration is caused by disappointment and feelings of powerlessness.

This is a well-prepared and well-planned rescue plan, from beginning to end Shen Chasing Star has devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, from childhood to adulthood, it is the first time he actively plans to do something, the last time the search for King Wu's treasure was just to provide clues by himself, and Blue Moon was responsible for finding it.

But this time was different. This time, the entire operation was almost set according to Shen Chaixing's design.

Perfect plan, perfect action, and in the end it ended up being a perfect failure.

Regarding Lan Yue's capture, Shen Chaixing now feels absolutely powerless. Up to now, Shen Chaixing's mind was still in chaos, with the sound of wind, rain, thunder, shouts of killing, gunshots, and howls of pain still filling every corner of his brain.

For a moment, Shen Chaixing used perfect tactics to rescue Blue Moon, Blue Moon was so close to Shen Chaixing, Shen Chaixing was also full of confidence at that time, but the flames from the Divine Machine Camp Fire Gun shattered his plan.

Linglong'er rescued him from the fire of the Divine Machine Battalion. At that time, seeing his friend Lan Yue fall to the ground helplessly, Shen Chaixing really wanted to die under the flames of the firebolt, so that at least he could be worthy of Lan Yue's friend, but he couldn't do that. Because it will also take the life of his other friend, Linglong'er.

Shen Chaixing didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Blue Moon next, with Zhu Yuanzhang's brutal character, maybe death would be a luxury for Blue Moon.

Maybe he is an ominous person, Shen Chaixing thought that for himself, his parents died, and his father also died. If Lan Yue hadn't met her, she wouldn't have seen Momen's map of the secret path about the Jingshi, and she wouldn't have returned to the Jingshi, and now, although she is still on the run, she can live freely.

At this time, Linglong'er on the side took out a little dry food from her arms, broke it in half, handed it to Shen Chaixing, and asked at the same time, "What's the problem?

Shen Chaixing pushed away the dry food and said in a low voice: "What the problem is, I don't know, maybe one day it will come to light." I guess the other side saw through our plan from the beginning, and was only worried that we would escape halfway, so they did everything they could, and stopped us at the last minute. Originally, with the ability of me and Lan Yue, we might be able to escape, but with the concern of everyone in the Blue Mansion, no one can escape. This person should be someone who is familiar with the character of Blue Moon!"

Linglong'er said: "You mean Li Jinglong? This person is indeed Lan Yue's hair young, and he can guess our plan from Lan Yue's inquiry." If that's the case, you can't spare him! But why would he do it?"

Shen Chaixing shook his head and said with a miserable smile: "I don't know, some people seem to like to hurt people by nature. There are also some people, although they are harmless, but they are inherently ominous, and they can always bring bad luck to those around them. I may be the latter person!"

Linglong'er has always given people a feeling of giggling and grinning from contact to now, but after hearing Shen Chaixing's words, she straightened her face and said solemnly: "Shen Chaixing, you overestimate yourself, people's lives are destined." Everyone has their own destiny, if they can really change it, then they can only change it by themselves, they can't rely on others, and they can't complain about others!"

Said here. Linglong'er seems to be immersed in the memories of the past: "When I was a child, there was turmoil in the country, someone betrayed our family, and the whole family had to flee to the sea. After the wind calmed down, we drifted in an unfamiliar sea, because there was no compass, we didn't know where to row. You know, if we don't row to the land or the islands, but to the depths of the sea, then in a few days everyone will die of thirst and starvation. Although there were guards on that small boat, there was no sailor who knew the sea. Everyone was overwhelmed, but they couldn't help but do something. ”

"At this moment, someone spoke, over there, go that way!"

"It was a five-year-old girl who spoke. At first, everyone didn't think so, but later, because they really didn't know where to go, it was better to gamble and row in the direction pointed by the child. ”

Shen Chaixing had forgotten his thoughts at this moment and asked, "What happened later?"

Linglong'er smiled: "After rowing for a day, I found an island. Although it is not land, the island is rich in natural fresh water, and everyone has been saved. ”

Shen Chaixing said: "That girl can't be you, right? How do you know which direction to go?"

Linglong'er said: "Yes, I was only five years old that year. As for how I know which direction to take, I won't tell you yet, even if it's my secret. What I want to say to you is that everyone has their own destiny, and when they can change their fate, they are also making choices on their own, and they have nothing to do with others. On that day, I chose my direction, and others went in the direction I said, not because I had any authority or right, but because they chose my choice, so it was also their own choice. ”

Linglong'er continued: "For example, if you come to Jingshi with Blue Moon to rescue his family, if you die or are captured, will you think that Blue Moon has pitted you or that he has brought you bad luck? Again, that's my own choice. So, tomorrow at dawn, don't say to me that we should separate or that you will not end well with me, because being with you is also my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. Of course, you can also choose to stay with me. ”

At the end, Linglong'er smiled, revealing her original exotic mischievous expression again.

Shen Chaixing is a person of extreme affection and sexuality, which is not a bad thing, but this temperamental person is easy to drill the horns of the bull and cannot extricate himself, thus falling into the "inner demon".

"Heart Demon" is the most dangerous for Shen Chaixing, because Shen Chaixing's true qi has reached an extremely high realm, and it must have a strong mind to control and balance. That's why Ji Tan Zongxi let Shen Chasing Xing go down the mountain to cultivate, and the mountains and deep valleys that are indisputable with the world can't cultivate a strong mind, and only after going through the vicissitudes of life can he see through the red dust. Before that, Shen Chasing Star was dangerous, and his danger did not come from others, but from himself, from the powerful inner true qi that was not commensurate with his soul.

Although Linglonger has not been in contact with Shen Chaixing for a long time, she knows his temperament very well, and sees that he is guilty of "dementia" again, so there is the conversation just now.

At this time, Shen Chaixing, who felt hungry, asked Linglong'er for some dry food, and while chewing, he asked, "What do you say we should do now?" We don't know if Lan Yue is alive or dead now, so we can't just leave him alone, right?"

Linglong'er analyzed: "There is no difference between returning now and sending us to death. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants him to die, it won't be too long, and we go back now, even if we can inquire about the news, I'm afraid it won't be too late. That can only be said, that is his life, and Blue Moon will admit it. ”

"If we don't kill Lan Yue for the time being, it's useless to go back now, if there is really any move that Zhu Yuanzhang will notice, it will kill him. Why don't we leave for a while and find a way to inquire about the Blue Moon. If Blue Moon is still alive, it means that his life should not be extinguished, and we will find a way to rescue him, you see. Besides, after this battle, Momen will also disappear for the time being. ”

Shen Chaixing nodded yes, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang mention Momen with his own ears, so now he will definitely take the search for Momen as the top priority of the imperial court, and he and Linglong'er will also be counted on Momen. You must know that what any dynasty is most afraid of is not a certain person or a certain family, that can be solved through a single unjust case, but the most taboo is that there are other organizations besides themselves, especially secret organizations with their own beliefs and ideas. Therefore, since ancient times, Momen has been a secret thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the emperors of all dynasties, and it must be eliminated first and then quickly. It's a pity that the wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.

Linglong'er said again: "Now we should go to a place, not only to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court, but also to find out the news of the Jingshi, so this place can't be too close to the Jingshi, but also not too far, where do you say to go? You can't hide in this secret passage every day, right?"

Shen Chaixing thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I have a friend, Chen Tianding, who is the young leader of the Dongting Gang, and asked me to look for him some time ago. I think it's most appropriate for him to go to Jingshi to inquire about the news. If Lan Yue hadn't been executed immediately by Zhu Yuanzhang, he might have been able to help. ”

Linglong'er smiled and said: "That's very suitable! Although I am far overseas, I have also heard of the magnificence of Dongting Lake, 'August Lake is level, the connotation is too clear, and the steaming clouds are dreaming, shaking Yueyang City', I can't wait, how about we set off now?"

Shen Chaixing smiled: "You are sometimes terrifyingly smart, and sometimes you are stupid. You have forgotten the hour because you have stayed in this secret passage and have not seen the light of day, and it should be the middle of the night, and it is still dark outside, and it will not be too late for us to go tomorrow at dawn. ”

The two of them talked and laughed, leaving their troubles behind for a while, and after a while, they went to sleep.

As soon as it was dawn, the two of them came out of the cave. After yesterday's heavy rain, the air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh. The two discussed, Zhu Yuanzhang definitely couldn't expect that they had gone out of the city, and they should still be searching in the city, so it was safe outside the city, and Shen Chaixing was wearing a mask at the time, and he was made up and disguised by Gong Baoshan, and when Linglonger appeared, it was raining heavily, even if they checked, they didn't know the identities of the two, and the two were absolutely safe, so it was better to take a boat directly to the west, go upstream, and then transfer to Dongting in Yueyang.

The two of them traveled north from Zhongshan, arrived at the riverside, and heard that there happened to be a passenger ship to Chengdu in Yizhou today, and they set sail at noon and found the wharf. Sure enough, there was no inspection, and the two of them had a lot of money in their hearts, so they paid the fare and boarded the westbound passenger ship.
