In the stable at the entrance of the inn, there were many horses and two carriages, but Xu Wenzu's beast was missing.
Perhaps he felt that his current left leg was not suitable for riding a horse, and he had to take another person with him, so Chen Daxia chose a carriage.
When Chen Daxia drove the car, Zheng Fan leaned against Chen Daxia.
The carriage is galloping, and the cold wind at night in winter is like slaps to your face, blowing up endlessly.
In order to prevent Zheng Fan from bleeding to death, Chen Daxia blocked the flow of Qi and blood in Zheng Fan's body, but this feeling was actually very uncomfortable.
You are even struggling to breathe. Every time you take a hard breath, you feel that your lungs are "buzzing" like a blower, and at the same time, every beat of your heart is like someone holding a A sledgehammer hits your ear hard.
Chen Daxia's skill in controlling the carriage is pretty good. Although he is not as light and easy as Blind Bei when driving, it seems that the horses also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The three horses are running wildly with their hooves spread.
Zheng Fan's eyes kept wandering around, but unfortunately, there was no sound of horses chasing behind him.
One thing that makes Zheng Fan very strange is that the location of the inn is on the outskirts of Yincheng, although Yincheng, as the capital, has a reputation similar to that of Haikou in later generations;
But no matter what, Yincheng is also a big city, and there are also troops stationed in Yincheng.
Xu Wenzu left early. As long as he was not stupid, he would definitely go directly to Yincheng to move troops.
Once the Yin Cheng soldiers came out, it would not be a big problem to surround the inn or catch up with the carriage.
But everything seemed so silent.
Daxia Chen seemed to be able to see what Zheng Fan was thinking, and said:
"Although I don't know why, I know that tonight, the inn will be very quiet. "
"Why...why?"
Zheng Fan asked with difficulty.
Actually, it's not that I can't figure it out. This situation will occur. It is obvious that the internal forces of Yan State colluded with these assassins and made arrangements and cover-ups for their entry.
Although a place like the post station is not a military town, it cannot be regarded as an ordinary inn. If something happens here, according to the usual practice, the relevant parties will definitely sense it soon and take action immediately. react.
In other words, the influence of the internal forces in Yan State that colluded with these assassins is certainly not small.
But this is what puzzles Zheng Fan the most. Why does a big force want to deal with him?
Although Zheng Fan was not a good man or woman, even from the perspective of a person in power, he could be said to be "extremely wise" and "far-sighted" by directly ordering the execution of himself and his seven subordinates.
But the problem is, Zheng Fan doesn't think it's necessary for the powerful to deal with him like this now.
But Chen Daxia, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t do anything fake..
However, Zheng Fan really didn’t know about Chahe Village. He really didn’t order the massacre of the village.
But now Zheng Fan is too lazy to talk about this with Chen Daxia.
If he really wants to say that he has never massacred Chahe Village,
Chen Daxia has such a brain. Maybe they will yell: Have you killed Xiaohua, Niuniu and Da Nier?
Then,
Chen Daxia directly ended his sinful and dirty life with one strike of his sword.
The carriage was running fast. On the way, we encountered some caravans and some people on their way at night. Zheng Fan didn't call out, and he didn't bother to give any hints.
Moreover, Zheng Fan really hoped that Daxia Chen could bring him safely to the vicinity of Cuiliu Castle.
It seems that because Zheng Fan is very well-behaved on the road,
Chen Daxia’s attitude towards Zheng Fan is a little softer.
He is a good person to begin with. , and he is not the kind of good person who gives out good person cards.
Even Zheng Fan, who was going to be killed by him, couldn't deny this.
But it was not Zheng Fan who planned to trick this honest man, but this honest man who planned to kill himself on unfounded charges.
"You Yan people really don't have many swordsmen."
Zheng Fan hesitated for a moment, did you want to chat with him?
After thinking about it, Zheng Fan responded painfully:
"A knife...is better for cutting barbarians."
"I have always heard that in the desert The barbarians are very powerful, but I haven’t seen them before.”
“If you have the chance, you can go and see it. There is a different pattern and atmosphere in the desert.”
"Is it true?"
"Yes, if you go to the desert and see the barbarians, you will be able to understand the Yan people better."
"The way you speak, Very special."
"Isn't it very flavorful and nice to listen to?"
Daxia Chen is an honest person,
Hearing this,
< p>He nodded and said:"Yes."
"You don't have to kill me, I can talk to you every day."
It's not that Zheng Fan is being pretentious. In fact, he doesn't want to deceive such a cute bastard.
If you can turn your enemies into friends, that would be the best.
"You must die."
"Okay, I understand."
"Actually, in my opinion, the Yan people and the Gan people There is no difference between Jin people and Chu people, they are all human beings."
"The difference is that oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and oranges born in Huaibei are oranges..."
"I know what oranges and tangerines are, but where are Huainan and Huaibei?"
"Legend has it that there is a river in the sky called the Huaihe River. Huainan refers to the south bank of the Huaihe River, and Huaibei refers to the Huaihe River. North Shore."
"Will oranges grow in the sky?"
"Will there be rabbits in the sky?, it is said that Chang'e flew to the moon and brought two rabbits, a male and a female, with her, and they reproduced many offspring. "
"Why does Chang'e raise so many rabbits? ”
“Because she likes to eat braised rabbit heads. "
"Oh, really, I have never heard of this story. Is the story of Chang'e flying to the moon by your Yan people so detailed? ”
“After the barbarians heard this story, they changed their appearance when it spread in the desert. "
"Oh, that's it, barbarians, they are indeed barbarians and don't know how to be funny. It's a pity. Originally, during this trip, I wanted to go to Chahe Village first, eat two bowls of noodles, and then go to the desert through Yan State. Look, who knew that the village was gone, so I thought of coming to Yan country to kill you, and then go to the desert to see, but who knew that another leg was missing.
After picking up Huahua and the others, I will go back to Qian Country to resettle them. It will be inconvenient for me to ride a horse since my legs are gone, and I probably won’t be able to go to the desert. ”
When Daxia Chen talked about losing his leg, he didn’t have the slightest resentment, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.
He did it for the kindness of two bowls of noodles. , came to Yan country to seek revenge;
And for the sake of those three girls whom he did not know very well, he left the blind man Bei and Xue San who had caused his own amputation without killing them
Zheng Fan thinks that it is impossible to achieve this, and he also believes that most people in the world cannot achieve this.
"Which sect of Qian Kingdom are you from? ”
“I don’t have a sect. ”
“Self-taught? "
"When I was a child, I fell off a cliff and survived. I picked up a sword manual under a ravine and practiced it myself. "
"..." Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan has a feeling that he should be sitting in the car of the "protagonist" in this world.
< p>Then, the protagonist of this world wants to kill himself.“Where is the sword manual? ”
“Whatever you ask this person to do, they are all going to die. ”
“I’m curious. ”
“Give it away. ”
“Give it away…give it away?” ”
“A few years ago, many people came to me asking for sword manuals. They said that if they didn’t give them to them, they would kill me. It was just a sword manual, so I gave it away. Later I heard them say, This is just a very ordinary sword manual.
Many people didn’t believe it at first, thinking that what I gave was false, so they came to me again and wanted to arrest me and kill me. I had no choice but to kill them.
Afterwards, they probably realized that my swordsmanship was nothing special, so they just believed it. ”
“I’m probably afraid of being killed by you too. ”
“That sword manual is indeed very ordinary. I once studied in the Jin Kingdom Sword Pavilion and read many exquisite sword manuals. Only then did I realize that the one I picked up at the beginning was indeed very ordinary. Ordinary stuff. "
So, this is talent?
"Unfortunately, after I came to Yan State, I found that the people of Yan State don't like wearing swords very much. ”
“I rememberI told you why earlier. ”
“But this reason cannot convince me. ”
“The man who sells scallion pancakes will think that the most delicious thing in the world is scallion pancakes.” ”
“Well, I understand. "
"Actually, swords are really not suitable for fighting, except for swordsmen like you. ”
In the most chaotic times, there was not much difference between swords and knives. They were all confused. Later, with the development of forging technology, the practicality of swords began to be surpassed by knives.
Now, the sword represents more of a symbolic role, plus a sword cultivator like Chen Daxia,
The two of them are sitting like this. On the carriage, they were chatting wordlessly, like two friends who had known each other for a long time.
After a long time,
“Cuiliu Castle should not be far away. "Daxia Chen said.
"Oh. "Zheng Fan responded.
"I changed my mind. "
"Won't you kill me? "
Then I can change my mind.
"You are still going to die, but I can help you dig a grave and erect a monument after killing you. ”
“Haha, thank you. "
"You're welcome, you are quite interesting. If I come to Yan State again in the future, I can find you through your tombstone and chat with you again. ”
“Good idea. ”
…………
The stars on Cuiliu Fort are twinkling stars.
A Ming and Fan Li were sitting on the wall of the fort, They are playing chess.
The cold wind is blowing, but they don't care. After all, they are all "cold-blooded animals"
"My lord, I haven't come back yet. ”
“Perhaps I am so happy to reunite with that deep-sea comrade after a long absence, and I feel like I am being slept with by that deep-sea comrade. "
"You only dare to talk about the Lord like this behind your back. ”
“After working as a shower head for a month, every time I drink water it feels like I’m taking a shower, and I talk behind my back. Isn’t that too much? ”
“Not too much. ”
“Isn’t that right? "
"But I am still worried that something will happen to the Lord. ”
“It’s okay, there are only two consequences of what happened to the Lord. Either, we play chess and chat, then look at each other and die together;
Or, Nothing happened. After I went back and lay down in the coffin to sleep, it was a new day again. "
"Then what? ”
“If you and I died suddenly together, it would be okay and there would be no pain.”
If nothing happens, it proves that Fan Li's original proposal was correct, and we will all... be free. ”
“Let’s play chess, it’s your turn. "
"No more, I lose. "
"Oh, playing chess with you is really boring. "
"Then why don't you go and play chess with the blind man?"
"Playing chess with him is even more boring."
"That's right, playing chess with a blind man, Maybe even more powerful than Alpha Dog."
"Hmm? Did you hear anything?" Liang Cheng asked.
A Ming listened carefully, shook his head, and said:
"No."
"No, there is a sound, I'm sure."
A Ming listened carefully again and shook his head, but then he lay on the ground and put his ears to the ground,
"Hey, it seems like There's really some movement, underground."
"Yes, underground."
"Isn't it the foundation?"
"It's a foundation problem. , the movement will not be so small, besides, this fort was built by a blind man, so the quality should be fine."
"I can't tell, I can't tell, oh, by the way, I can see. According to the blind man's drawings, there is a secret passage under our fort, which the blind man dug specially. The other end of the secret passage is connected to the willow forest on the opposite side. "
"Are you afraid of a siege? "
“The city is dead, but the people are alive, and we don’t have such high moral integrity to fight to the death for Dayan without retreating or anything.”
“Actually, this initial camp selection is not bad. Okay, if you were born in Qian Country, your life would probably be quite miserable."
"It's okay, no, the sound is still there, it's not like rats or mice crawling into the tunnel. What's wrong?"
"How about you go and have a look?"
"No."
A Ming shook his head simply.
"Why?" Liang Cheng asked.
"The room where the tunnel entrance is placed was originally my room, but later, under the arrangement of the blind man, Shatuo Queshi and I changed rooms to put the coffin."
said At this point,
A Ming and Liang Cheng were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.
The two of them almost said in unison:
"It can't be Shatuo Has the stone moved? "
......
"Which village is it?"
The carriage stopped in the willow forest. It was Zheng Fan who asked. of.
"Don't worry, we will soon reach the village after leaving this forest."
"Do you want to wait for the soldiers in your fort to come and rescue you?"
Chen Daxia is obviously not stupid.
"Have you seen me send messages to them along the way? Besides, I am already injured like this, how can I send messages?"
"You are blind. He seems to have the ability to communicate without speaking, and most of the servant's skills are learned from his master."
"Then you really think highly of me. "
"Even if your soldiers can receive your message, they won't be able to save you in time. I dare to take you back here, so I don't have to worry about what will happen.Accident.
As long as there is any trouble, you will be killed by my sword immediately. "
"I know, I know, hero, the reason why I asked you to stop here is because you want to fulfill my last wish before I die. I want to insert a wicker here. ”
“Can I survive if I plant willow branches in winter? "
"What if? ”
“Okay, hurry up and don’t delay my time to dig a hole for you later.” "
"Oh, by the way, when it comes to digging a hole, the land needs to be dug bigger and more spacious, okay? "
"Try your best. "
"My hero, do you know why the fortress in the distance that I am currently guarding is called Cuiliu Fort? ”
“I don’t know. "
"Then let me tell you. ”
“Yes, but the hole is not big enough. "
"It's okay. If you say a few more words before you die, you can still make money. According to legend, a hundred years ago, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou planted a willow tree here, hoping that when the willow tree will grow, You can drink horses in Shangjinghuang Palace. "
"Delusion. "
"Hey, I thought you wouldn't even care about this. "
"I am from Qian country, how could I not care. ”
“But what cannot be changed is that what could not be done a hundred years ago will probably be achieved a hundred years later.
It’s a pity, it’s a pity, I can’t see you anymore. I will mount my war horse and expand the territory for our great Yan, destroy the barbarians, level the country, drive away the royal court, and conquer the capital.
This has been my dream since childhood.
Master Chen, you can kill one of me today, but I, Dayan, and tens of thousands of Zheng Fans, you can’t kill them all, and you can’t kill them all! "
Chen Daxia looked at Zheng Fan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"I want to plant a willow here today. I believe that in the future, wait and see. When this willow tree grows into a tree, the emperor and concubine of your Qian Kingdom can rest here when they are escorted here. "
"Although I want to kill you, I have to admit that from the perspective of Yan State, you are really admirable. ”
After that,
Chen Daxia held his sword and gave Zheng Fan a half salute.
Zheng Fan rolled his eyes at Chen Daxia,
I thought that this kid was so easy to be deceived, no wonder he came to kill me for no reason.
So, only those who are short-sighted can become a master?
"Hero, help me. Fold off a wicker stick. "
Hearing this, Chen Daxia got off the carriage and stretched out his hand to break a willow stick.
"Just insert it there, in that low-lying place. ”
Daxia Chen nodded.
Although he got off the carriage and left Zheng Fan alone in the carriage, this distance was still too close to him. Just one sword.
Even if a group of cavalry rushed out of Cuiliu Castle, he could still easily chop off Zheng Fan's head and leave.
Only those who are capable have confidence.
Daxia Chen inserted the branch into the ground, stood up, and clapped his hands.
Zheng Fan, who was leaning on the carriage, looked at Chen Daxia and said seriously:
"I really didn't kill the people in Chahe Village. I swear."
A look of displeasure immediately appeared on Chen Daxia's face,
and he said:
"At this time, you still want to quibble?"
"I have no excuses."
"Tell me the location of Xiaohua and the others quickly, and I can dig a hole for you."
"Master Chen, let me ask you again , Can you let me go!"
Daxia Chen raised his sword and said:
"Are Xiaohua and the others gone?"
Zheng Fan shouted:
"If you let me go today, I will protect you from leaving Yan!"
"Xiaohua and the others are already dead or sold by you, right? ?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "No, I didn't sell them or kill them. I can guarantee that."
Daxia Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
said:
"That's good, hurry up and take me to pick them up. I can dig a spacious pit for you to lie comfortably and satisfy you."
Zheng Fan smiled,
gritted his teeth,
using all the remaining strength of his severely injured body,
shouted: < /p>
"Master Chen, courtesy is reciprocal. This is a pit I specially prepared for you. Please... accept it!"
Under the ground,
there was a sudden sound. Roar,
"Roar!!!!!"
