Chapter 5: Rebels

Yan Tianchen moved with a sharp move, dodging the sword body in five steps and three steps, and crossed the wooden table, put his hands on the shoulders of one of the guards, turned around and rolled on his side, successfully avoiding the horizontal slash of the other guard.

Yan Tianchen landed unsteadily on the ground, picked up the saber that Qian Sheng had dropped on the floor, and received a heavy vertical slash from one of the guards.

Bell –

The twin swords rubbed together wantonly, as fierce as a splash of fire.

Xu Chuan unfamiliarly fiddled with the wooden stick in front of the other guard, trying to take his full force to slash, but the stick was unexpectedly cut in half.

He threw away the wooden stick that had been split in two, intending to dodge, but the speed was not as fast as the guard's sword, and he collapsed on the ground in fright.

"Ahh Xu Chuan's roll made the guard's attack empty, but it seemed that the guard was not resigned to it, and continued to slash the sword downward, while Xu Chuan rolled one after another to dodge.

The guard's anger grew, his slashing moves gradually became indiscriminate, and his speed dropped significantly.

Qian Sheng was also annoyed, pushed the guard away, and stepped forward to kick people like a pretend.

But Xu Chuan is not an idle person, seeing that Qian Sheng is menacing, he naturally will not be afraid, and he will beat Qian Sheng with three or two punches.

"Ahh

"I'm more than enough to deal with you. Xu Chuan gasped.

Yan Tianchen, who had wielded his saber many times, was not to be outdone, and the two swords intertwined and collided, leaving the sword-wielder at his disposal.

Boom –

The speed of the guard's swing of the sword increased at an unexpected speed, and the ferocious attack was truly terrifying.

"Damn. Yan Tianchen began to find it difficult to defend against this sudden attack, and his clothes and body were marked with sword marks, and shallow blood stains appeared in the marks.

The strength of both sides seems to have dried up.

Yan Tianchen didn't want to back down, so he waved his last sword weakly.

This time, instead of the blades colliding or intertwined, his hilt unilaterally hit the guard, who then fell.

Yan Tianchen also fell.

"Morning, morning. Xu Chuan's shout came from the rear.

"It's Xu Chuan......" Yan Tianchen's eyes began to close slowly, and he gradually lost his sense of autonomy.

"Don't worry, I'll take you away to find Lang Zhong immediately. After Xu Chuan finished comforting, he took one of his hands with his right hand, put it on his shoulder, and supported his scarred body with his left hand, and was about to go out.

In the blink of an eye, there were already bustling spectators outside the door, and a large crowd surrounded the tavern.

"Borrow light, borrow light. Xu Chuan ignored the noisy voices of the crowd and walked out of the crowd with difficulty.

At the same time, a group of guards outside the crowd was hurrying in.

"Oops. Xu Chuan said to himself, "It seems that you can't get out." ”

"Qian Sheng, are you messing with trouble again?" a majestic voice came from outside the crowd.

The crowd avoided and made way for an aisle.

Xu Chuan's eyes widened, and he carefully observed the man in front of him, who seemed to be a son, but his complexion was much whiter than Qian Sheng's, and he had a very personal temperament.

Gongzi walked past Xu Chuan, entered the tavern, and said to Qian Sheng: "I have repeatedly advised you not to cause trouble everywhere, but you have never listened to a word. ”

"Brother, you misunderstood, it was they who ......" Qian Sheng's tone became a lot weaker, as if he had been wronged.

"How many of the disputes were provoked by you?" the boy scolded and gave Qian Sheng mercilessly.

Qian Sheng was silent, and Gongzi couldn't bear to continue, so he had to raise his hand to signal the guards to enter the museum and deal with the scene, and then the guards carried Qian Sheng and the other three away.

At this time, Xu Chuan thought that the matter was over for the time being, and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Gongzi.

"Your Excellency, stay. ”

"What is the matter with Childe?" Xu Chuan hurriedly responded to the sudden request.

"Ahemβ€”" Yan Tianchen let out a violent cough.

"This Excellency has been seriously injured, most of which is caused by the ignorance and nonsense of his brothers, and I apologize for him. Childe politely apologized and said, "Come on, pass on the rumor quickly." ”

"Yes. One of the guards received the order, mounted his horse, and galloped away without a trace.

"I accepted Childe's kindness. Xu Chuan accepted sincerely, and then asked, "Dare to ask the son's name?"

"Qian Qing, brother Qian Sheng. Childe smiled knowingly.

It seems that he is a very easy person to get along with, Xu Chuan thought to himself.

......

"Lang Zhong arrived. The horseback guard tugged on the reins of the horse, and when the horse returned to calm, he dismounted with Lang Zhong.

"Very well, take the two of you to heal quickly. ”

As soon as the picture turned, the time came to the next morning, and the soft light fell peacefully on Yan Tianchen's cheek through the paper window.

"Uh, I'm ......" Yan Tianchen stroked his head and asked himself dreamily.

It didn't take long for him to lift the covers, move his scarred hands, and remember something more or less.

"That's right, Qian Sheng!" he was so angry that he couldn't help but get out of bed and go out, but he fell to the ground halfway and loosened his bandage.

Yan Tianchen mocked: "When did I put a bandage on my body?"

"Hey, hey. Before the injury has healed, you hurriedly pull the bandage loose. Xu Chuan grabbed his hand, and finally avoided the crisis of his bare arms.

"This is a corner of the Qian Mansion room, you can rest assured. Xu Chuan read his thoughts, and then added, "Qian Sheng masked and pretended to be Wang Zhengshi to buy goods everywhere, and he himself came forward to clarify. ”

"What about the cause?"

Not long ago, Wang Zhengshi walked the streets and alleys to save his father and inadvertently knocked down Qian Sheng, but sincerely apologized. Xu Chuan explained the ins and outs of the matter.

In the end, Wang Zhengshi's father unfortunately passed away. Yan Tianchen said regretfully.

Xu Chuan also nodded.

"Anyway, I was hungry yesterday, and it's nice for you to go to the tavern to eat and drink. ”

"Okay, I'll take you to something delicious. Xu Chuan and he looked at each other and smiled.

After finishing speaking, Xu Chuan helped him out of the guest room, and made a detour to the main hall. According to the usual, there are often a lot of people in the main hall of the Qian Mansion, and there is not even a single figure to be seen today.

After the two of them walked around, they came to the gate of Qianfu, and before Xu Chuan could open the door, someone outside the door rushed to push the door first. The three children who came in laughed and ran towards the path of the main hall.

"Eh, I heard that the third son of the Qian family was publicly punished in the backyard of the main hall of the Qian family today. One of the maids who came in squeaked, and the others talked as they walked.

"But no, I also heard that the third prince did something wrong and ordered the closure of other people's pharmacies. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it is rumored that someone has lost a loved one because of this. ”

Yan Tianchen couldn't control the thought of clenching his fists and pounding the ground, and the arm whose wound had not yet closed revealed bright red blood.

Then, he dispelled the idea of leaving, and walked staggering towards the backyard of the main hall, Xu Chuan couldn't let go of the worries in his heart, so he had to go up.

As the pace picked up, he almost forgot the severity of his injuries.

"The old man has never taught you such a lewd and shameless concept, not only do you not give it up, but you also carry it forward?" Old Man Qian glanced at him in disgust, and the words of the discipline pierced deep into Qian Sheng's conscience like a sharp blade.

I saw Qian Sheng on his knees, not moving at all, hanging his head and acquiescing to the mistakes he had made. The crowd muttered, some pointed at him viciously, and some laughed from time to time.

"On weekdays, you are domineering and proud of others, and the old man knows that you will definitely make mistakes in the future. Master Qian put his hands behind his back and said back and forth.

"Haha Xu Chuan patted him on the back.

Even when they rushed to the backyard of the main hall, they were still blocked by a crowd of people, and they could not hear their voices.

"Today, in front of everyone, you admit your crime and give justice to the Wang family, and the old man will stop. Master Qian changed his words and said, "On the contrary, the old man doesn't recognize you as a rebel." ”

Finally, Qian Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore and began to shout: "Don't, father, don't." ”

Before the words fell, he rubbed his knees on the ground and came to Master Qian's body, childishly pulling on Master Qian's legs.

"The old man just thinks that you rebel son has been doing things again and again, and it's time to settle accounts. Master Qian pulled out his pulled legs and said expressionlessly.

"Child, child knows wrong, really knows wrong. Qian Sheng, who has always been arrogant on weekdays, will also cover his face and sob, which is amazing.

"The Wang family did not choose to forgive in public, do you know this rebel?" Master Qian was unmoved.

"Son, child, let's go find ...... Find the Wang family. ”

Qian Sheng got up, but his legs were a little numb from kneeling for a long time, so that he couldn't walk just yet.

"What's the matter??" Master Qian didn't notice his abnormality, and continued to hold on to his own set of words.

"Child......" Qian Sheng couldn't exert his strength, so he had to land on one knee and reach out to support the ground.

"Master of the Qian family. A frail middle-aged woman emerged from the crowd, and next to her was a man supporting her.

"Madame Wang. Master Qian greeted respectfully.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the middle-aged woman who had just appeared.

Xu Chuan blinked, shook Yan Tianchen, who hung his head, and said with a smile: "Look, it's Wang Zhengshi." ”

"Well, I saw that. Yan Tianchen grabbed Xu Chuan's hand that was shaking vigorously and said, "If I continue to shake it, I'm going to faint." ”

"It's you...... Here it comes. For some reason, Qian Sheng seemed to have a sense of pleasure in breaking free from the shackles.

"It's me. Wang Zhengshi never thought that he would meet the man in front of him again.

"Rebel, the old man doesn't want to emphasize it, so you can do it next. Master Qian stared at Qian Sheng and said.

Qian Sheng understood and begged for mercy: "I, I know that I am wrong, and I beg for forgiveness from the two......"

The voice was not small, and the people present could hear it clearly.

In an instant, a tear slipped from Wang Zhengshi's mother's tear gland, two drops, three drops......

"Your apology, I accept. Wang Zhengshi couldn't bear to spoil the atmosphere, and finally chose to accept him kindly.

The scene immediately burst into loud applause.

"Wang Zhengshi, this kid, has a set. Xu Chuan praised, but didn't notice that Yan Tianchen, who was holding him, fell asleep.

"Ahh

Yan Tianchen sneezed, and he couldn't remember how many times he woke up.

"Uh, where am I?" he said as if to himself, a little quietly.

"Oh, you're awake, you're injured now, I'll take you to something delicious. Xu Chuan carried him on his back and responded as he walked.

Then, Xu Chuan took him to find a tavern and sat down on the spot.

The clouds were thick, and a cool breeze blew on the streets of Bianjing City, and the wind became stronger and stronger, dancing and falling leaves from the branches, and even the trunks of the trees could not resist the invasion of the wind.

It was supposed to be early afternoon, but it was darker than night under the storm.

Boom Boom –

A white lightning bolt streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap. The hot weather ushered in this terrible storm.

"Whew-" Yan Tianchen blew on the steaming noodles, and just wanted to taste them, he was interrupted by the reckless sound of the door opening.

A soldier with a tasseled gun in his hand wears the uniform of the troops of Bianjing City.

The soldier took off his crown and drank, "A jug of wine." ”

"Okay, I'll be right away. ”

Whoa, whoa, whoa, who

The rain poured down, echoing the faint thunder in the sky. Soon the number of thunderstorms became frequent.

"Whew-"

Yan Tianchen devoured the noodles, without thinking too much, just planning to fill his stomach and set off again. Xu Chuan picked up the meat in his mouth with relish, and did not pay too much attention to this soldier.

The soldier took the flask, but he refused to speak, as if something was on his mind.

The scene switches to the soldier's memories, a man sitting in a seat, in front of him, he puts down the tassel gun and opens his mouth: "General, the minister is back." ”

"It's good to be back. The general responded.

"General, according to secret rumors, in three days the leader of the rebel army will lead the rebel army to attack the east of the city. ”

"Where are the rebel forces now?"

"We have now entered the western border of the city. ”

"The outbreak of the rebels is not a matter of time and a half. Order all troops to defend the east of the city!"

"General Hui, at present, the soldiers mainly live in the west of the city. ”

"Newspaper - The rebels have set out from the west of the city and are heading here at full speed. Another soldier barged in.

"What? "What is such a thing?" said the general, leaping from his chair and incredulous, "the west of the city...... Lost...... Done?"

"General, please give the order quickly. ”

"What are the number of rebels?"

"More than 300,000. ”

The general suffered a blow, shook his head, and sneered: "The sky is going to destroy my Dabian capital!

"General......" the two soldiers whispered.

......

"Gollum-" The soldier tilted his head, opened the lid of the flask, and gulped down the wine.

"It's a delicacy on earth. Yan Tianchen chewed the noodles in the bowl and commented.

"Look, this meat is the best in the world. Xu Chuan expressed disdain for his evaluation, but commented on the meat in his mouth.

The shopkeeper sorted out the items on the counter and accidentally saw the soldier who was drinking.

"If things don't go well, it's a good idea to get drunk. Although the shopkeeper did not answer the soldier directly, he listened to every word.

"Is the general frustrated on the battlefield?" asked the shopkeeper.

"I'm not a general, I'm a purely incompetent soldier. Shopkeeper, there will be rebels attacking here tonight, so you might as well flee early before you are captured. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. ”

The two of them quickly escaped from this place of right and wrong. ”

"What's the matter?" Yan Tianchen put down the bowl in his hand for the sudden persuasion.

"The rebels are about to invade this place, and those who live will be taken prisoner and brought back to the rebel headquarters. ”

"I've heard that the troops in the east of the city are the most heard in Bianjing. Xu Chuan wiped his mouth and said happily.

"You are wrong, now a large number of troops have been lost in the west of the city, and the troops in the east of the city have been branched to the north and south of the city to resist the Xiongnu, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the east of the city for a while. ”

"In other words, there are not many troops left in the east of the city?"

"Yes, I advise you two to flee as soon as possible, the rebels are extremely fierce. ”
