The sharp and hot blade cut into the flesh, and after turning it lightly, he saw the cross arrow tightly stuck in the flesh. Ren Zhen took a deep breath, held the half of the broken arrow, and pulled it out tentatively. Blood spurted out instantly, pattering down his fingers, Ren Zhen was startled, and immediately froze his wrist again.Fu Jian looked as usual, but his face gradually turned pale. He whispered, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt very much—the arrow is probably stuck in the tendon. Cut it off and pull it out." Ren Zhen imagined, He didn't feel his scalp tingling, but he also knew that the more hesitant the worse it would be, he took a deep breath and forced himself to open the wound to take a closer look, and cut off a tendon with the tip of the knife, and the arrow really seemed to be loose.

Fu Jian's broad back muscles were already covered with fine beads of sweat, and he didn't say a word.Ren Zhen didn't dare to hesitate any longer, grabbed the arrow handle with his bloody hands, aimed at the orifice and began to pull it out slowly - he didn't dare to use any force, for fear that it would cause massive bleeding, such earth method as using sulfur powder to stop the bleeding I don't know if it will work or not.He tried his best to be steady and even, but the sound of the flesh grinding made goose bumps all over his body. Finally, when the arrow came out of the flesh with a splash of blood, Ren Zhen didn't dare to breathe out, so he immediately took out the sulfur powder, because he had poured it over In a hurry, most of it was spilled at once, and it was all glued to the gaping wound with a snort. Fu Jian frowned slightly, and Ren Zhen noticed it: "Pain?"

Fu Jian closed his eyes for a moment, then shook his head: "It's okay." It wasn't until Ren Zhen finished treating the wound, tore off his clothes and bandaged it up, that he looked down at the thick bandage, and then said jokingly: "That's okay. It hurts a little more than when you dig meat and debone."

ah?Ren Zhen was dumbfounded, wouldn't it be more painful than cutting flesh? !Fu Jian smiled weakly: "Just joking. Now that the arrow has been pulled out, there is no problem. Go down the mountain tomorrow to find Tuobagui and the others."

Ren Zhen frowned, and said in disapproval: "Such a big blood hole, is it okay if you say it's okay? Or stay here for a few days until it heals. I can go down the mountain alone."

Fu Jian shook his head and refused: "If you go down the mountain alone, you are throwing yourself into a trap - at this time, there must be a list in and out of Tianshui City to arrest us, don't say you can't find out the news, I'm afraid Tuoba Gui and others won't be able to get out for a while. city."

When Ren Zhen heard this, he really didn't insist anymore, but said solemnly: "Today's facts are unimaginable. The governor of Tianshui County was recommended by Lu Shao, the heir of the Later Liang Dynasty. How could his son kill him for such a trivial matter?" I’m not afraid that I’ll have a hard time explaining to Guzang and Longzhou in the future.” Fu Jian said, “How can it be a moment of loyalty to think so hard here? This is a well-planned game. If I guess correctly, the target is mine. Seek full credit, lead you away from the mountain to Tianshui Lake, to trap the Yan soldiers who are not good at water, and at the same time have already sneaked into the post house, put drugs in the meal, knocked down the remaining Hun soldiers, sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, and finally set fire to them Burning houses and destroying corpses and evidence must be cut down."

Ren Zhen also felt very dangerous when he heard it, and asked, "Then how can you escape?"

"After you left, the governor of Tianshui ordered people to bring dinner and wine to reward those who stayed behind. I never drink wine from unknown sources. I took advantage of changing clothes to escape, but I saw that the stables were uncharacteristically quiet. I only knew it when I looked closer. Those horses were all drugged—they were very thoughtful, fearing that someone would take the horses and escape, and even the horses and the people would be drugged. I didn’t dare to go back, so I immediately took a horse and left through the back door. It didn’t take long From a distance, I saw hundreds of elite soldiers surrounding the post house with open flames—”

"Wait." Ren Zhen suddenly heard something wrong, "Didn't you say that Ma Quan was fascinated? How could you ride away?"

Fu Jian nodded slightly: "Yes, all the horses have been brought down, except for two that are safe and sound - one is your ocher white, and the other is Wu Yunliu. It seems that the people who arranged the layout cherished the horses so much that they even I can't bear to take medicine, and I love horses more than people."

Ren Zhen's face was livid, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Fu Jian knew that he was definitely regretting Mo Die in his heart, so he didn't say anything, he got up and walked to the fire, stretched out his long arms, and put the dried robe on his body.Suddenly Ren Zhen said: "Since you have escaped, why did you turn back to Tianshui Lake to die?"

Fu Jian walked back to him, sat down cross-legged, patted the back of his head lightly, and said with a hint of reprimand: "Don't talk stupid. You are still there, how can I escape alone?" He turned his head and met Ren Zhen The four eyes met, "You and I are allies, no matter what happened in the past, now we share weal and woe, life and death are at stake."

Ren Zhen seemed to have sensed it, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "I thought there should be a hatred between you and me for the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family."

"Since I knew you were not Murong Chong and decided to cooperate and form an alliance with you, I put down the hatred of destroying the country." Fu Jian looked at the fire and smiled bitterly: "Murong Chong is the one who surrounded Chang'an, and you replaced him halfway. At that time, if I were you, you would go directly to Chang'an, and if you don't destroy it, you will not return it. After you enter Chang'an, you can restrain the three armies and restore the palace and the people's livelihood. Cheng Xuechi Hell, so I really should thank you on behalf of Sanfu Limin. What's more, the Qin Dynasty was precarious and rebellious, it was not you, it would be someone else. The general situation of the world is like this, what's the use of blaming others? If it is true If you want to blame, you also have to blame yourself for being too proud back then, eager to dominate the world before returning to the world."

Fu Jian was wise in his first life, but the battle of Feishui was criticized by later generations, and he was accused of being headstrong and arrogant. He claimed that the soldiers he had "throwing whips are enough to stop the flow", but he did not fight against the Beifu soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Retreating first, the 30 army was at a loss, retreated hastily, and the wind was jittery-the surrendered generals who had long been dissidents rebelled one after another, and the Central Plains and Kyushu were full of flames.

"You were really wronged to lose in that battle. If you really fought a tough battle, the Beifu soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty might not be able to stop the former Qin cavalry." Ren Zhen said sincerely.

Fu Jian waved his hand: "The court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is weak, but Xie Xuan is the number one general in the Southern Dynasty. As soon as we split up those generals from other races who have hidden their hearts for a long time, they will be fine on weekdays. Once there is a change, the three armies will be in chaos. I am not as good as him in this point——I know people and I am very happy, it is true."

Ren Zhen listened intently, and couldn't help saying expectantly: "It's said that Jiangzuo Xie's uncle and nephew Zhilan Yushu, I really want to meet him for a while."

Fu Jian put his hands on the ground, leaned back slightly, and turned his head to look at him: "Do you want to see Xie An, or Xie Xuan?——Then Xie Xuanwen, a handsome young man, is a fairy-like figure, presumably him?"

These words were already teasing - since Fu Jian set foot on Longxi, he was not as wary as he was in Chang'an, and his attitude and tone were much more casual.Ren Zhen rolled his eyes at him: "Master, I'm a picky eater, so I just don't like tender grass, okay?"

Fu Jian suddenly realized: "So you went after Xie An." Ren Zhen punched him angrily: "That's too old!"

Fu Jian snorted, and Ren Zhen immediately realized that because he was wearing a long robe, he might have hit an unhealed wound if he didn't notice for a while, so he leaned over to have a look, brushed off the collar and saw that there was no blood seeping out before he let go. He took a breath, raised his head and smiled, "Fortunately, it didn't burst again—it's because you love to talk nonsense, so you want to be tortured again?"

Fu Jian just lowered his head, and the two of them got very close in an instant, almost smelling each other's breaths, Ren Zhen's scalp numb, and he heard him say: "If you still hold the knife, it's not torture." Ren Zhen Zhen unconsciously averted his eyes, and said with a little embarrassment: "You're talking nonsense again. If you really like a few more stabs, you should be fulfilled just now."

Fu Jian still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes darkened—suddenly he felt that it was a bit out of proportion for him to make such a joke with Ren Zhen.Then they raised their heads and backed away, slightly opened the distance between each other, and then their voice sank, and they returned to normal: "Go to sleep, I have to find something to eat tomorrow, and heal up as soon as possible so I can go find Tuobagui and the others. "

Ren Zhen coughed, stood up and said, "You go to rest first, I will keep watch at night, although this place is remote, we need to guard against the approach of strangers and beasts." Fu Jian nodded, he did not give in to him at this time, he was at ease Spread a layer of hay beside the fire, and lie down on your side.

There was no one in the quiet night, Ren Zhen guarded the entrance of the cave, facing the gloomy forest, Xiao Xiao shuddered.He got up and walked towards the fire, wanting to put on the dried clothes, but stopped beside Fu Jian involuntarily.

He just sat bored and deduced the ins and outs of the matter in his mind, but he still couldn't understand what Juqu Mengxun had done.Now he is in distress, separated from the crowd, his future is uncertain, but the strange thing is that he is very peaceful and not flustered.He couldn't help but leaned down to look at Fu Jian's sleeping face—was it because he was beside him?I don't know when, he has started to seek the other party's opinion when doing things, and even feels at ease because of him-they should have a relationship where they should be wary of each other and take advantage of each other.Ren Zhen stretched out his fingers to gently caress his resolute face, but withdrew his hand the moment he touched it, and then frowned in distress, almost wanting to slap himself hard to relieve his hatred - Fu Jian can be an ally or an ally The enemy, but alone should not and cannot be...

He didn't want to think about it anymore, he got up suddenly and sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave. Under the blowing of the mountain wind, his restless heart seemed to calm down.

When he opened his eyes the next day, he saw that he was lying on the haystack with Fu Jian's robe on his body. He was startled, then turned over and sat up, grabbed his clothes and looked around wonderingly, there was no one in the cave—— Could it be that Fu Jian still ran naked to become Tarzan of the Ape?

"Are you awake?" Fu Jian just leaned in from the entrance of the cave, and after a night of not seeing him, he changed into a suit of rough masonry clothes, with narrow sleeves and short sleeves, and a hemp rope hanging around his waist, making him look even taller.Ren Zhen had seen him wearing imperial uniforms, military robes, and even ordinary clothes in daily life, all of which were stately, but he had never seen him dressed like a commoner, so he smiled and said, "Where did this come from?"

Fu Jian stepped in, and he replied calmly: "I also found it here. During the day, the caves are being dug and built in the mountains, and there are quite a few people coming and going. Changing this clothes will not be conspicuous, and it will also avoid trouble."

Ren Zhen didn't expect this level, and suddenly remembered that he was obviously watching the night at the entrance of the cave, and how he had fallen asleep on the thatched pile, so he asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It will be three or four hours." Fu Jian looked at the sky and said, "I saw that you were sleeping by the entrance of the cave, and you were not awake. I was afraid that you would be picked up by wolves in the middle of the night to feed yourself, so I had to drag you in to sleep."

Shit, that is, he fell asleep after guarding the entrance of the cave for less than an hour. Fortunately, he was boasting before, but he was finally dragged——?Ren Zhen thought to himself that I was asleep and not dead, how could I be dragged on the ground like a sack and still be unconscious?It could only be that Fu Jian coughed him——Ren Zhen, grabbed the robe in his hands, and then stood up unnaturally: "Where did you go?" Fu Jian said: "Go check it out." To find out the news, I went to the stonemasons who started the work to find some food." But he took out a skin bag, which was full of half-dry bread and water, "They are all poor people, and there is no one else. , let’s make do with it.”

Ren Zhen was even more surprised. He could never have imagined that someone like Fu Jian would humbly ask those craftsmen and pawns to beg for food.Fu Jian raised his head and saw his expression and couldn't help smiling: "I traded things with them, otherwise who would be so kind-hearted these days?" After saying that, he pointed to Ren Zhen's robe, and Ren Zhen looked down, only to find that he was wearing a shirt around his waist. The jade hook disappeared, so he smiled and said, "Fortunately, I changed the table top before I went to Tianshui Lake for the Nahongmen banquet, otherwise I would starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests." It's just that Fu Jian was injured first, and he was obviously He wanted to take care of him, but now it seems that he is more inattentive than a person like him who spent his entire life in luxury and luxury and enjoyed all the blessings?

Fu Jian didn't have so many theories. He was born as a warrior with a strong body, and he didn't relax because he sat on the dragon chair for more than ten years. Therefore, although the arrow wound dug out a bloody hole last night, after the "treatment", he also It's okay to forget about it.He broke off a piece of bread and handed it to Ren Zhen, and slowly explained the situation he just inquired about: "The Maijishan Grottoes are being repaired one after another. The chaos in Liangzhou a few years ago delayed it. Work resumed under the supervision of the government.”

Ren Zhen immediately heard the doorway: "In other words, there are people from the government at the construction site?" Although he is not sure whether the son of Tianshui County Sheriff and Juqu Mengxun were ordered by Houliang to kill them, but now Naturally, it is better to be far away from the government.

Fu Jian nodded, and said again: "So even if you and I are hiding here, you still have to be careful everywhere - just now I heard that the Tianshui County guard died at the hands of the 'rebels', and now the city is in chaos, and the newly taken over The chief ordered a complete curfew to arrest the rest of the party. Every day, the gates of the city were only open for one hour from Chenshi to Sishi, and they were checked repeatedly. Anyone who was injured or fair-looking was taken back. The gang of stoneworkers complained a lot because of the inconvenience .”

Ren Zhen pondered for a moment: "Are they... internal strife?" Fu Jian felt that Juqu Mengxun was not a good person, and he was afraid that he had crossed the river, demolished bridges, unloaded mills and killed donkeys, but he didn't tell Ren Zhenming, only said: " Therefore, it is difficult for us to enter the city in a few days."

Ren Zhen grabbed the bread and took a bite, almost breaking his teeth. He couldn't help cursing in his heart, is this a discus?But he has a strong temper, and he thought that Fu Jian came here in rich clothes and fine food. He hadn't complained yet, so he naturally couldn't lose face. If you don’t go, it will be even harder for the people inside to come out—it’s not always a solution to keep the two separated.”

Fu Jian knew that he was worried about Tuobagui's gang of tiger guards, so he comforted him: "Tuobagui is so determined and intelligent, even if he is trapped in the city for a while, nothing will happen - I didn't notice him when he was a proton in the Qin Palace. He is so promising. I just don’t know if he will risk his life and go out of the city to find you.”

"Yes. Since it is an appointment, he will definitely keep it." Ren Zhen said firmly.If he leaves him, he will only be an embarrassing prince in exile, and Tuobagui would rather die than to be willing - in other words, if he wants to be trusted, he can only serve him as the master - at least for now.

Fu Jian smiled: "You believe him."

Ren Zhen knew that Fu Jian had a clear mind, and he probably guessed that Tuoba Gui was the one who made waves in Chang'an with the intention of seizing power in the Martial Arts Competition. I have a claim, so I just echoed it with a smile and said no more.He immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Jian, seeing that he poured out a bowl of clear water, tore up the bread and soaked it bit by bit, he couldn't help wondering: "What is this for?"

Fu Jian pushed the bowl over: "I just saw that you were having difficulty swallowing. I think the biscuits are too hard to eat. Soaking them in water may soften them." Listen to him continue: "Actually, if there is a pot of hot mutton soup, soak the noodles in it, not only is it not difficult to swallow, but it is also very delicious. This is a specialty of our hometown, called—"

"Bubble buns~" Ren Zhen said first, stretched out his hands to take the instant noodles with little water in the clear soup, the taste of eating it was not good, but Ren Zhen felt that it was more delicious than before and swallowed too much, all the way from the stomach It's warm to the heart.

Fu Jian also laughed: "You know that too? I think it's popular among the people in Guanzhong."

Ren Zhen curled his lips and said, "Wow, I haven't eaten it in half my life." He came here by himself, fighting again and again, how could he have the time to eat folk snacks?He just casually said that, who would have thought that that night, Fu Jian actually concocted a pot of hot soup, even though it wasn't mutton, it was rare to see meat.Raise the fire to boil, add wild vegetables and mushrooms to stew, and the aroma is bursting, Ren Zhen swallowed: "You... how did you get here?"

Seeing his greedy look, Fu Jian couldn't help thinking about the hot pot incident on New Year's Eve a few months ago. Ren Zhen just happened to raise his head, looked at each other, and smiled knowingly—the two of them recalled it by coincidence.Fu Jian replied in a slow voice: "I also took a random change of clothes - the stonemason is an old man, and he is kind when he talks about it. He gave me this pot of pork soup without much trouble."

Ren Zhen twitched his index finger, impatient to scoop up the soup, and said casually, "Aren't you afraid of arousing his bad intentions by exchanging gold and jade with him?"

Fu Jian was taken aback: "Are you afraid that he will doubt our identities?"

Ren Zhen pursed his lips. He wasn't afraid that those poor craftsmen who could not read and write would recognize them, tied them up and took them to the government to receive rewards. It was just that he was influenced by the surrounding environment since he was a child with a deep-rooted concept: Wealth should not be revealed.Otherwise, if a person is poor and crazy, and then he looks hot, there is no guarantee that he will not do some extreme things.But when he saw Fu Jian's expression, he knew that there was probably no such string in his head - Fu Jian had never been short of money since he was born, and he never thought that someone would die for money.After thinking about it, he walked over in a hurry: "I'm just talking casually, but I don't think so..."

Since it is said that people's hearts are not ancient, then the hearts of the ancients should be better than those of today's people.

Unexpectedly, after nightfall, Ren Zhen was lying fast asleep on the haystack, when he was suddenly jolted awake, he snored sleepily, looked at Fu Jian mutteringly, and listened to his urging Said: "Someone touched it!"

Ren Zhen shivered, woke up instantly, stood up, brushed out the fire, and asked in a low voice, "Who?!"
