Chapter 22 Bearing the Charge
Chu Yanxi drank all the wine, then fell asleep on the carriage, and when he woke up, it was already dawn the next day, the carriage was parked by a lake, and the horseman was making a fire to roast two big fish, seeing that Chu Yanxi had woken up and opened the curtain and looked at himself suspiciously, he picked up the grilled fish and shook it to signal that it was ready to eat.
Chu Yanxi got out of the carriage in a daze and looked around at the beautiful scenery, walked to the groom and said, "Senior, where is this?"
The groom gestured with both hands, but Chu Yanxi was still confused and didn't know what he wanted to express. Seeing that Chu Yanxi didn't understand sign language, Ma Fu immediately ran to the lake to find a stone that was not very peaceful, and wrote with a twist and turn: Just after Cangshan to rest, I will go to Tu'e City once. After writing it, he showed it to Chu Yanxi, and Chu Yanxi was shocked when he saw it: "Ah! I have passed Dali City! It turns out that my predecessors are literate!" Ma Fu nodded violently.
Chu Yanxi smiled and said, "I originally promised Xiaobai and Xiaohong to go to Lingyun Tower......! The fish grilled by the predecessors is really fragrant. With that, he picked up the grilled fish and handed it to the groom, and the other one sniffed and ate it. Seeing that Chu Yanxi was eating so well, the horseman laughed happily.
Chu Yanxi was tasting this grilled fish, but the groom didn't take a bite, and suddenly handed Chu Yanxi another grilled fish, seeing that Chu Yanxi didn't answer, he put it next to the fire, hurriedly ran to the lake and picked up another slate, wrote the words and handed it to Chu Yanxi, Chu Yanxi gnawed on the fish while looking at the words on the slate.
The slate reads: "...... Someone followed us...... Hengshan Inn has seen ...... I...... Dump someone. ”
Chu Yanxi's face showed a puzzled expression, and said, "It's the three people we left before?"
Chu Yanxi took a bite of the grilled fish and put the rest of the food next to the fire.
Chu Yanxi was silent for a long time and said: "Chu hasn't figured out the banquet of the Hengshan Inn yet, and now there are more unknown followers of those three people!
Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps came, and the horse groom was startled that the stone in his hand fell, and Chu Yanxi looked at both ends of the road in confusion.
After a long time, more than a dozen horsemen and horses appeared, followed by dozens of infantry who quickly surrounded Chu Yanxi and the horseman.
Among the cavalry was a young man, wearing a red brocade robe, with a yellow crown on his head, and a brave and extraordinary temperament exuding from his clear eyebrows and eyes. The rest of the cavalry were dressed in yellow robes, thick boots, and large swords. The infantry wore blue robes, thick boots, and spears, revealing fierce eyes.
The young man in a red brocade robe with a yellow crown drew his sword and looked at Chu Yanxi and said coldly: "You are Chu Yanxi!"
Chu Yanxi took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "It's Chu Yanxi down there, I don't know what to find Chu?"
"In Xia Yangye, General Dong commanded the generals. Chu Yanxi, you are a generation of the world's martial arts recognized sword venerable, now colluding with bandits to disrupt the party, oppressing the people, plotting to kill Zhongliang, this news has spread all over the Central Plains, this makes Dali country faceless? Today, I am on the order of General Dong to arrest you, and I hope to go to Dong's mansion with us. ”
Chu Yanxi sneered and said, "I, Chu, have never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and I have always done things above board. How can they oppress the people? How can they plot to kill Zhongliang? and how can they collude with bandits and disrupt the party?"
Yang Ye said coldly: "You joined Hengshanzhai and sent Xie Qinghui to kill the deputy hall master of the Xingyi League, and Hengshanzhai oppressed the people in the Hengcheng area and robbed merchants of goods and money. Xingyi League is chivalrous and righteous, helping the people in the Central Plains, gaining fame and winning glory for our Dali country, killing Xingyi League is to kill Zhongliang. Yang Ye paused and said: "This was originally a matter of your Jianghu martial arts, but now it is a disaster to the people of Dali and the reputation of Dali country." Only then did we have to take action. ”
Chu Yanxi smiled and said: "But Chu has not done anything that violates the way of heaven, although he has formed a righteous alliance with Xiongbatian, that is to admire his pride, I will also persuade him to do more good deeds, and Chu Mou has not agreed to join Hengshanzhai, as for the death of Xingyi Alliance Yuan Gai, it is a matter of Xingyi Alliance and Diancang faction." ”
"Why hasn't General Yang heard that Yuan Gai, the deputy hall master of the second hall of the Xingyi League, raped ** women, robbed money, and did all kinds of evil, and everyone knew about it. Xie Qinghui killed Yuan Gai to eliminate harm to the people. Chu Yanxi said coldly.
Yang Ye said angrily: "Trouble Gongzi Chu to go to Dong Mansion with me, and General Dong will naturally explain to you." ”
Chu Yanxi smiled and said: "Now someone wants to frame Chu, if Chu goes, wouldn't he not recruit himself, please tell General Dong, and when I find out the rumor-spreaders, I will come to General Dong's mansion to thank me for violating the military order today." ”
Yang Ye sneered: "If Gongzi Chu doesn't go, how can I recover my life? Besides, I think that soon Hengshanzhai will also disappear in the Jianghu Martial Arts." ”
Chu Yanxi smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then Chu will go to the Dong Mansion with you, but Chu is innocent." ”
Chu Yanxi walked into the carriage and picked up the skull sword, looked around at the officers and soldiers, walked up to the groom and said with a smile: "If the senior sees that friend, remember to tell him, next time Chu invites him to drink." ”
"General Yang, please lead the way......" Chu Yanxi looked at Yang Ye and said with a smile.
Yang Ye asked his horses to be transferred to Chu Yanxi, and Chu Yanxi got on the horse with a slight smile. There were cavalry in front of Chu Yanxi and infantry in the back, but they didn't show any fright.
Chu Yanxi couldn't have imagined that so many things would happen along the way, and some people slandered him, he believed that this was a conspiracy, and it was all so sudden. He had to go to General Dong's Mansion, and he couldn't do anything with Yang Ye, because it was not only about Chu Yanxi's reputation in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, but also about the reputation of Dali Kingdom.
