The leader is merciful, spare the life of the pavilion master

Although he knew that the man left traces on purpose and that what awaited him would be a trap, Xue Ce followed without hesitation.

Because Song Junchen was in their hands.

Sure enough, after following the man through a mountain pass, what Xue Ce saw was a valley with a strange terrain.

Such a place is the best place to set up an ambush. If Xue Ce guessed correctly, there should be quite a few archers hiding on both sides.

Song Junchen was half-kneeling in the middle of the valley right now, his hands were tied, his mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and he could only make a murmuring sound.

Xue Ce's face was extremely cold.

If he rushes to save him, all arrows will be fired, he and Song Junchen will be close to death, but if he doesn't save...

This is indeed Bhutan's original plan, but now he has changed his mind.

Xue Ce can die, but Song Junchen can't die now, because he is the only one who can decipher the strange stone.

So Bhutan jumped out and put the sword on Song Junchen's neck.

"Is Master Xue here to save this man?"

Xue Ce stared at the sword in the opponent's hand.

"Let him go, and I'll go with you."

"Okay," Bhutan said with a sneer, "but you have to destroy your hands first."

"Okay," Xue Ce pointed at Song Junchen with a calm face, "Let him come here first."

"Then give up one hand first."

Negotiations between the two sides have reached an impasse.

Song Junchen kept huh at this moment, indicating that he wanted to speak.

Bhutan impatiently tore off the cloth from his mouth.It was originally intended to prevent Song Junchen from telling Xue Ce that there was an ambush by the archers, but now it seems that there is no need, because Bhutan is also standing in the middle of the valley, and he will not foolishly order his subordinates to rush out and shoot arrows at him.

"My legs are numb, help me stand up." Song Junchen said nonchalantly, as if he was not kidnapped, but a guest at someone's house.

He believed that Xue Ce's martial arts would definitely save him, so what he had to do was to provide him with a chance to do it.

"Why are you so busy?" Bhutan kicked Song Junchen.

"Do you still want to become the overlord?" Song Junchen gave Bhutan a cold look.

Bhutan's face was uncertain, and finally he grabbed the other party roughly from the ground and stood up. He was about to speak, but he heard Song Junchen say: "Bring a stool."

"I think you are impatient!" Bhutan raised the hilt of his sword and was about to hit Song Junchen. Song Junchen dodged to the side, Xue Ce took the opportunity to move his wrist, a white light flashed, and the hidden weapon hit Bhutan holding the sword hand, the sword fell to the ground in an instant, hitting the loess with a dull sound.

After a howl, Xue Ce rushed towards Song Junchen.

Killing intent appeared in Bhutan's eyes, and he threw Song Junchen, who was about to run away, to the ground, and tightly grabbed his throat with his uninjured hand, but Song Junchen's hands were tied, and he was powerless to resist. Deep red marks.

Xue Ce was approaching at this time, and Bhutan panicked: "If you take another step forward, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, the arm pinching Song Junchen instantly separated from his master's body, accompanied by a scream, and blood splattered everywhere.

Xue Ce bent down to support Song Junchen.

Taking advantage of this moment, Bhutan kicked his legs straight away from the two of them and shouted: "Let the arrows! Let the arrows!"

Xue Ce's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to rush forward to give him a break, but he heard Song Junchen's hoarse voice whispering in his ear:

"Leave him alive."

Xue Ce lowered his head and glanced at Song Junchen. Although he didn't know why he didn't kill this person, he still obeyed his words and didn't cut off Bhutan's head. At this time, the arrow rain from both sides attacked the two crazily.

Xue Ce hugged Song Junchen into his arms, adjusted his breath, concentrated on predicting the location of the iron arrow with his eyes, and used his ears to hear the sound of piercing the sky behind him to identify the location.His sword seems to have eyes, every time he swings it can accurately block the incoming sharp objects, his feet are so light that they hardly leave any footprints on the soil, all the dust raised comes from the iron arrows landing.

Immediately, he jumped up, ignoring the rain of arrows behind him, and disappeared into the setting sun.

"I finally had a cave to sleep in, but I was disturbed by that Bhutan." Song Junchen was lying under the tree with an unhappy face at this time, deeply feeling the sorrow of sleeping in the open.

Their whereabouts have been exposed, so naturally they can no longer go the same way.

Fortunately, Xue Ce picked up the rabbit and was roasting it on the fire at this time, and the fragrance of rabbit meat filled the surroundings.

"Do you think these people are stupid? Knowing that your martial arts are world-class, they ran to die one by one." Song Junchen lay under the tree, chatting with Xue Ce without saying a word

"They probably came up on the spur of the moment after they discovered our whereabouts, and they didn't have time to invite experts." Xue Ce thought for a while and replied.

"Don't be humble, you are the second strongest I have ever met." Song Junchen looked at Xue Ce who was aside.

"Who is number one?" Xue Ce gave him a sideways glance.

"Of course it's Uncle Quan."

Xue Ce snorted coldly, then asked after a moment of silence, "Why did you spare that man's life?"

"You mean Bhutan?" Song Junchen kept looking at the rabbit meat aside, his Adam's apple twitched, obviously swallowing, "Let him bring some news back."

"what news."

"Of course it's news that will make them fight each other." Song Junchen didn't want to explain further.

Xue Ce suddenly picked up the rattling rabbit meat that was roasting.

"Is it ready?" Song Junchen sat up and looked at the scorched flesh with glowing eyes, waiting for the other party to share half with him.

"Just turn it over." Xue Ce said calmly, turned the branch in his hand half a circle, and put it back on the fire.

Song Junchen lay down again disappointed.

In Wupei City, the arrest warrants for the remnants of the Yuanlong Sect can still be seen everywhere.Yuan Longjiao was accused of adultery with foreign enemies, and the government naturally pursued him closely, unwilling to let any fish slip through the net.

Xue Ce used the disguise technique he used to pretend to be a Taoist priest again, making himself more than ten years old, which made Song Junchen want to laugh.

The best place to inquire about news is the tavern in the deep alley.Song Junchen and Xue Ce sat facing each other in the corner, ate beef and drank wine, and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around them.

"Let me tell you, now the Golden Sparrow Pavilion is getting worse and worse. Recently, several people who sold news to the Golden Sparrow Pavilion were found dead at home, and their deaths were terrible!"

Song Junchen's hand holding the wine glass was a little harder, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"I have also heard that it is indeed not as good as before. It is probably related to the disappearance of the owner of the Golden Sparrow Pavilion."

"The bullshit pavilion master is missing?" A drunken person raised his voice a little bit, "It's good to be missing, I'll just wait for this pavilion to collapse quickly, a bastard who ruined my family!"

Xue Ce played with the bamboo chopsticks in his hands, and there was a murderous intent looming in his lowered eyes.

"Old Li, you were stabbed for that stupid thing you did, who is to blame?" Another person sneered.

"What did you say?" The man called Lao Li stood up suddenly, pointed at him and shouted, "Say it again!"

"If you want people not to know, you must do it yourself!"

Immediately after there was a noise of fighting, Xue Ce took advantage of people not paying attention, moved his wrist under the table, and instantly inserted a bamboo chopstick into the left eye of the man named Lao Li, directly piercing through his head, immediately blood spattered, and screamed The sound came and went.

Song Junchen looked at Xue Ce in surprise, and was about to question Xue Ce, but the other party grabbed his wrist and left the tavern in a hurry.

Just a few steps away, Song Junchen shook off the opponent's hand and said angrily, "Why are you so ruthless?"

"Why, seeing a dead person for the first time?" Xue Ce's face was not good.

"It's different. That person just said something harsh, so how could he take his life for it?"

"He looks like a nice guy to you?"

"It's not up to you to decide who is good and who is bad. You have to judge him according to the laws of the country."

"When did you have the benevolence of a woman?"

Song Junchen stared at him, thinking that all warriors are violent.

Xue Ce also had a cold face, secretly cursing kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"The two guest officials are still staying in the hotel?"

As soon as he stepped into the store door, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile.

Xue Ce threw two taels of silver at the other party with a cold face, "Stay in the hotel, two rooms."

"Okay! The guest officer is upstairs, please!"

The two returned to their own rooms, not in a very happy mood.

Song Junchen's mind is in a mess at the moment, and he doesn't know what's going on with Jinli, but has he found any traitors?

Thinking about it carefully, from being hunted down to being murdered, from late-night fire to kidnapping in Bhutan, in just one month, I have experienced so many things, life and death have become commonplace, and I can't help feeling sad.

Xue Ce sat motionless on the edge of the bed, with his hands on his knees, looking at the dancing candles, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sky was getting darker, and there was the sound of pattering rain. This was the second rain this spring.I still remember the first scene, the day when the Yuanlong Sect was destroyed.

If he can get that item when he returns to Tangzhou this time, he will call San Zong good-looking.

A coldness flashed across Xue Ce's eyes, then he took a deep breath, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

Song Junchen was also lying on the bed at this time, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time - his right wrist hurt.

Probably because the tendons were injured before, and they were exposed to water again, which caused the root cause of the disease. When it was raining and cloudy, there was a dull pain.

Since he couldn't fall asleep, Song Junchen simply got up, clutched his right wrist, and sat by the window blowing the wind to watch the street view.

In fact, there is nothing to see at night, everyone is fast asleep, only a few lanterns are still lit, one, two, three... Wait, why are there more and more lanterns?

Song Junchen rubbed his eyes, and indeed a lot of lanterns were coming towards this inn. Startled, he ran out immediately, knocked on the door of the next room hurriedly, and shouted softly: "Master Xue, Master Xue..."

The door was quickly opened, Song Junchen quickly got in, and said anxiously: "Run!"

I think it's the matter of the chopsticks in the daytime, which has already been suspected.

Xue Ce didn't say much, picked up the package, picked up Song Junchen, jumped onto the roof, and flew over the eaves and walls in the night.Song Junchen held onto Xue Ce tightly, feeling the wind blowing in his ears, and when he looked up again, the two of them had already entered the attic of a certain rouge shop.

At night, the gates of the city were closed tightly, and they couldn't get out of the city, so the two could only hide for the night temporarily.

After landing, Xue Ce let go of Song Junchen, leaned against a cloth bag, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Is this person still angry?

Song Junchen suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, just like he was angry with his parents when he was a child, ignoring others if he didn't eat, it's really... very cute.

The two stayed in the small attic until dawn.

When the proprietress of the rouge shop saw two big men coming down from the attic, she was quite frightened.

Before leaving, Song Junchen looked back and praised with a smile, "The rouge is not bad, I'll buy it another day." This made the proprietress not report to the official, but was still thinking wildly in her heart, how could there be such a good-looking young master in the world.

After getting on the horse, the two rushed out of the city gate and headed south again.

It was still raining, after all, the spring rain was continuous, and it wouldn't stop for a while, but neither of them cared.

"Don't do that in the future." Song Junchen's lips were very close to Xue Ce's ears, and he suddenly said sullenly.

"Huh?" Xue Ce didn't react for a while, but then he understood what the other party was referring to, and said lightly, "Okay."

Indeed, I overreacted yesterday.It is really wrong for a stranger to curse and die because of it.Learning martial arts is not for the purpose of bullying the weak, let alone killing innocent people indiscriminately. If you are the leader of your own religion, why bother with a philistine?It's just that when he heard Song Junchen being insulted by the other party, he...

After trotting for a while, the horseshoe gradually slowed down on the official road and changed to walking.

"Do you regret it?" Xue Ce broke the silence of the two.

"What are you regretting?" Song Junchen asked in confusion.

"Follow me and run for your life every day."

Song Junchen suddenly burst out laughing, "You were by my side when I was in the Song Mansion."

Thinking back to those days when he was under surveillance, Xue Ce basically went wherever Song Junchen went, but now it's the other way around, Song Junchen follows wherever Xue Ce goes.

The two of them immediately felt this inexplicable fate in their hearts.

"You were chased and killed by the three sects of the government, and I was hunted and killed by the spies in the pavilion. We are dependent on each other." Song Junchen thought that the other party was probably feeling guilty for putting himself in danger, so he continued, "I just wanted to take you in as a bodyguard."

"bodyguard?"

"It's like a guard or something."

"It turns out that you have this kind of selfishness." Xue Ce seemed to be in a good mood.

"What about you?" Song Junchen asked curiously, "For what?"

"Of course it's revenge."

"You still want to kill me."

"..."
