Chapter 146: The Truth and the Choice Touched

Let Jean ...... Let's let ......"

There was a shout.

Li Xian looked back and saw that there were at least a dozen knights, all of whom were riding fine horses and beasts, looking like dust and dust, and the pedestrians around them avoided each other at first sight, and gave way slightly.

I'll be back soon. ”

Xiao Liuzi suddenly became embarrassed, turned his head and saw Yan Le's dark appearance, his body instantly straightened, and he looked at Yan Le with murderous eyes.

Yan Le turned his back silently, his shoulders swaying slightly.

When Li Xian saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

"Alright...... I'm leaving. “

At this time, the knight team passed by Li Xian's side and couldn't help but look twice, especially the handsome man in the lead.

'Soldier?'

A group of knights following the man, although their eyes were slightly tired, but they had a very strong battlefield killing aura all over their bodies, it seems that it should be the son of a general, right?

However, seeing that they had been inspected by the guards all the way, Li Xian didn't pay much attention to it, and went straight to Yan Lao's shop after saying goodbye to Xiao Liuzi and Yan Le.

In the ranks of knights, the handsome man in the lead looked at the lively crowd around him and nodded secretly.

It seems that this Cui Sheng does have two brushes, and the Shanzi Battalion is really worthy of its name, it is a strong force that can fight well, just look at the appearance of the soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers patrolling it.

"The patrol officers come and go very regularly, ensuring that if something happens, they can provide support as soon as possible. “

The man was a little excited in his heart, if the soldiers of Youzhou only looked at the quality, they were indeed slightly better than the soldiers of other states, and they were worthy of being men from the North.

At this moment, a 'man' who looked at the camera spirit in front of him, half a horse behind the leading man, asked respectfully.

"Second Master, are we sure we want to stay in the wilderness?"

"Of course! Yuanye County was attacked by barbarians before, I have long wanted to come here to have a look, and now it seems that the haze of war has gradually left the people, and it just so happens that Cui Sheng of the Shanzi Battalion is also here, so I will start my first step to become a general here." ”

The man's gaze revealed ambition.

As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to catch up, all the way from Jizhou to meet Wuju, isn't this a God-given opportunity?

This team of knights is the second prince and his party who rushed from the divine capital to Youzhou.

Ji Yunxi's goal was to become a general in Youzhou, and martial arts is undoubtedly the best way to prove his strength and realize his dreams.

In fact, their itinerary was not so hurried, and they also saw a lot of customs and customs of other states on the way.

Xiao Guizi said: "What the second master said is very true, with the strength of the second master, he will definitely be able to win the leader." ”

You're not talking nonsense...... With the strength of your second master, the leader of a field county is not yet caught. ”

Ji Yunxi had a confident smile on his face.

You must know that since he was a child, he has been practicing martial arts and refining martial arts for the dream of a general, and the resources mobilized as a prince are also much higher than those of the top famous factions, Ji Yunxi's strength should not be underestimated.

"Second master, should we go and meet this General Cui?"

Ji Yunxi thought for a while and shook his head: "Find an inn to live in first, and then talk about it after the martial arts, everyone has good wine and good food to eat today, don't be polite to the second master!"

"Okay, it's all up to you. ”

"Thank you, Second Master!"

"Thank you, Second Master!"

Hearing the latter sentence, although the dozen or so knights behind him had tired faces, their expressions were obviously happy and excited, after all, they had been running for several months...... Finally arrived at the destination.

Looking at Ji Yunxi's radiant look, looking east and west with excitement, Xiao Guizi had a sentence in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not.

That is, if this master takes the champion of Youzhou Wu, doesn't he have to go back to Shendu, so why has Youzhou been traveling for thousands of months?

Of course, he dared to say this in his heart, if he really said it, this master might not know how to lose his temper.

'At this time, General Cui Shengcui should know!?'

County office, backyard study.

The backyard is many times larger than before, and it is not so much a county government as a general's mansion.

"General, the second prince is now in the wilderness, you see, isn't it ......"

After Xu Ming received the report from the soldiers under his command, he immediately came to see Cui Sheng.

Cui Sheng had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and gently put the brush in his hand on the inkstone.

"The ghost head informed me of this matter as early as when the second prince stepped into the territory of Youzhou, and I think His Royal Highness should not come to see me for the time being. ”

"Our highness went straight to the wilderness after coming to Youzhou, and he should be planning to participate in the martial arts in the wilderness!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Xu was obviously a little surprised and puzzled.

With Xu Ming's rank, he was far from being able to access the information of the second prince, so he understood that Ji Yunxi had no intention of fighting for the throne at all, and wanted to be his general.

Cui Sheng said: "Now there is a lot of commotion in Jizhou and Qingzhou, Your Majesty's patrol is getting bigger and bigger, and many families are being investigated. ”

Where did Xu Ming dare to answer this, his nose was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Cui Sheng shook his head and smiled: "But according to Your Majesty's journey, when Youzhou is compared, Your Majesty should arrive in Youzhou City." ”

Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "Then Youzhou will usher in a rare grand occasion in a hundred years."

Your Majesty hasn't been to Youzhou since he ascended the throne. ”

Cui Sheng sighed: "Yes. ”

Xu Ming suddenly remembered something and said, "General, since you said that the second prince plans to participate in the martial arts. “

"Then Li Bai will ......"

At the mention of this, the atmosphere between the conversations immediately became different, and the shallow smile on the corner of Cui Sheng's mouth instantly turned into an interested look.

"This martial arts session is much more interesting...... I'm sure a lot of people are interested. ”

"Hehe......"

Xu Ming showed a helpless wry smile, expressing his helplessness about the unique bad taste of his general, and could only silently pity Li Xian in his heart.

I hope Xiao Xian can get close to the top three. ’

With the second prince here, Xu Ming no longer has any hope that Li Xian can win the leader.

......

meanwhile

Li Xian came to the carpenter's shop alone, he came a little early today, if it was usual, he usually came here at noon.

Because Yan Lao no longer plans to open the door to do business, after a long time, a unique tacit understanding has been formed between the old and the young, if he didn't come at noon, Yan Lao would not stay in front of the shop.

Usually only he will open the door when he comes, but he will not entertain guests. At the beginning, there were still people who didn't give up, and when they specially picked Li Xian to come...... begged Yan Lao to make a wood carving, and later found that this little old man's attitude was so resolute that he had no choice but to give up.

Li Xian glanced at the golden crow hanging high in the sky, estimated the hour, and simply sat on the small steps at the door to think about it, thinking about how to tell Yan Lao for a while.

He still attaches more importance to the relationship with Yan Lao, although there are more and more people under him or around him now, but ...... There are basically few people who can really talk about heart-to-heart.

This matter can be big or small, it is better to ask clearly, if it is okay, everything will be fine, if it is, if it is...... That's a headache.

Wan thought about the retreat and the bad side in advance, it was definitely not an ordinary thing to make a unified realm martial artist snatch it, and now the upper side must know more than him, if there is really something, what can he do?

In this wonderful thinking, Li Xian actually felt the feeling of those mosquitoes trapped in the spider webs woven by the Si Tian Prison and Ghost Department from another angle.

Really...... I can't break free.

Just when Li Xian was thinking about it, the wooden door of the shop behind him creaked open, and the familiar ridicule followed.

Yo, you bastard...... How to come early today. ”

Li Xian stood up, patted his trouser leg, and said with a smile: "I just happened to deal with some things today...... I'll come to see you when I have nothing to do, but I'll be martial arts soon, and you'll definitely have less and less time on your side in the future. ”

"Hmm...... You kid should really have a snack, what's the matter of running to the old man all day. ”

After Yan Lao finished speaking, he turned around and took out two small benches from the shop, and handed Li Xian a woodblock and a carving knife.

One old and one young sat down.

"I thought you weren't going to be here today......"

From the usual small talk, the old man knew how much Li Xian was interested in martial arts, and he had heard Li Xian complain more than once about the room full of military books.

Li Xian suddenly said greasy: "I didn't miss you, I came to see you." ”

The style of painting changed too quickly, making Yan Lao suddenly feel a little at a loss, and looked at Li Xian with a disgusting gaze.

I said...... Envy boy, you don't take a fancy to the old man to learn carving, right? The old man won't take a fancy to you even if he doesn't marry a wife anymore. ”

Hahaha...... The little old man is very narcissistic, then again, Yan Lao, you really don't have any kind of love?"

Old Yan looked at Li Xian with a look that I have seen through you now, don't change the topic anymore.

After a fight, the two immersed themselves in the carving in their hands.

Sawdust fell from his fingers little by little, and after a long period of hard work, Li Xian's carving became more and more 'divine'.

Looking at the villain in his hand, Li Xian turned his head to look at the wood carving in Yan Lao's hand, and he found that recently the old man likes to carve some toys that children like to play with, and no longer carve animals and people in the past.

The big hand rubbed the rough texture of the villain twice, Li Xian's face couldn't see the expression, and said in an indifferent tone: "That's right...... Yan Lao, do you know?

"The shopkeeper Zhong Yuanzhong, who came to your shop last time to deliver wood, is dead. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, Yan Lao was so shocked that he even fell off the carving knife in his hand, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he turned his head to look at Li Xian.

"Yes, just yesterday, dead!"

"How could it be?

The old man's mind, which had been guarding closely, was finally broken by a simple sentence.

"As far as I know, those thieves wanted the wood in the hands of the shopkeeper, and it was because of this that the shopkeeper died because of this. Li Xian continued to ask: "Elder Yan, you should have a good relationship with Shopkeeper Zhong, right?

Yan Lao swallowed and spat inexplicably, forced himself to calm down, frowned and said, "What can I know?"

Although the words were calm, the old man's heart was as nervous as a roller coaster, and he was pounding!

At this time, he realized that he should have remembered where Yan Kuan came from.

Yes, among the wood sent by Zhong Yuan that day, the old man found Yan Kuan. It was also at this time that Elder Yan finally realized another point, that is...... Someone is looking for Yan Kuan, and now it's no longer just a matter of not letting others find Yan Kuan.

Li Xian was not in a hurry to speak at this time.

Elder Yan's performance has confirmed the suspicions and speculations in Li Xian's heart, so the next step is his part.

Do you want to help? No matter what Elder Yan was hiding, he believed that the old man's personality was really unspeakable...... So whether you want to help or not is the final key point!

Li Xian looked at Old Yan's face, even if the old man concealed it well, he could still see the restlessness and impatience and the fast-beating heart in his eyes.

Looking at the little wooden figure in his hand, he wiped off the tiny sawdust on his face, and he looked like a delicate girl.

I have made a decision in my heart,

'Help!'

After thinking about this, the whole person suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and Li Xian smiled at Yan Lao: "No matter what happens to Yan Lao, you have to remember to come to the county government to find me." ”

Li Xian patted Yan Lao's shoulder and left with a hearty smile.

Before blending into the sea of people, he glanced at the window on the third floor of the inn not far away, and then strode away without looking back!

Yan Lao looked at Li Xian's back and fell into a daze, and sat at the door for a long time, and the figure that was not tall suddenly looked a lot shorter.

'Kuan'er, what should Daddy do!'
