Crown Sword

Chapter 044

After throwing Gongyangyue back to the bedroom last night, Chao Chen went back to bed alone, but never thought of lying on the couch with all his clothes on, because he was so preoccupied that he couldn't fall asleep for half the night.These days, he has been physically and mentally exhausted by that moody temper. He will never guess what Gong Yangyue will say or do next moment. There is no progress in revenge, but he keeps putting shackles on himself. Finally, those who persisted Bottom line and principles, and then put him in a tight grip——

First, there was the promise to compensate him for the broken sword, and then there was the second irregularity of "not wanting to take advantage of others' danger, not to sneak up on him", but he was not as decisive as when he first met.

At three quarters of the hour, Chao Chen lost all sleepiness and simply got up.

Dunhuang is not like the east side, the dawn will be an hour later, the outside of the house is still light gray, and occasionally a ray of light breaks through the thick clouds and rushes from the sky.He walked slowly in the courtyard, unconsciously moved it, climbed onto the roof, and sat facing east.

Many business travelers on their way to the customs have formed a team at the east gate of the city, and further away, the shepherds who live in leather tents and live on grass, open the gate early, and blow their whistles to drive their cattle and sheep up the hillside.

Chao Chen rubbed the thin and hard goose grass with both hands, and made a grasshopper casually. He suddenly recalled when he was a child riding the waves on the beach, and fishing with the fishermen.

Then, there was some movement in the opposite room. Qiao Min lived in it and got up strictly on time every day.Before he opened the door, Chao Chen threw away the grasshopper in his hand, walked down to the roof, restored the penis, folded his sleeves to hide his innocent and beautiful smile, and returned to that stubborn, pedantic, elegant and kind scholar.

Gong Yangyue got up a little later, the medicine last night didn't hurt him, but he got up too many nights, didn't sleep well, and was angry.It just so happened that Chao Chen went to say goodbye to everyone who helped with the cooking and taking care of the house, and walked past him under the window, and he yelled twice, but no one seemed to hear it, and he felt inexplicably angry.

At this time, Qiao Min was already setting up the saddle with the groom, and it was his habit to perform routine inspections before departure. Gong Yangyue thought about it, and there was only Shuang Li lying in bed in the whole courtyard, probably not getting up.But as soon as he stepped into the main room, the little girl wearing riding boots and a cloak had already stuffed the last mouthful of naan bread and put it on the table, and immediately frowned.

No one would care about such a small matter, but he just cared about it, and he was a little bit airy.

People from the Fanxi faction shouted outside the door, saying that Miracle Doctor Cui had arrived before the meal, Shuang Li patted his stomach and hiccupped loudly, remembering that he had been dawdling all night, so lazy that he hadn't packed his bags yet, so he hurried away.

Gong Yangyue grabbed her back with one hand: "Why are you running, afraid that I will poison you?"

"Hey, you shouldn't be greedy for that half of the cake!" Shuang Li slapped his head, deliberately getting up early, but still didn't dodge it, thinking that he was still thinking about the matter of giving the medicine last night, so he quickly changed the topic and pointed to the shop. A small table covered with a woolen blanket, "cake, the cake is in a basket, for drinking... Well, that silver pot, brother Chao learned how to make salty milk tea this morning. Keep a thought in one hand, Lao Yue, you see how kind I am to you, I saved it for you, so I took a sip of cold water."

"He still makes milk tea?" Gong Yangyue pursed his lips and smiled, but then he felt that his expression was not right, so he said with a straight face, "...it must be bad."

Gongyangyue didn't let go, and Shuangli could only hold back his big move: "Well, Laoyue, I'll treat you to the best wine in Dunhuang City, fill it with two catties, and take it with you on the way, wait, I'll hurry up I'll buy it for you!" Then, taking advantage of his relaxation, he immediately rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and shouted while running, "Don't drink that milk tea, don't drink it, you save someone who will clean it up later to pour it out! "

After running far away without being chased by anyone, Shuang Li hid behind the wall, counted the purses, and yelled: "You still want me to spend money, so dream! There is no good wine, only horse urine."

In the house, Gong Yangyue casually ate two mouthfuls of oven cakes and pilaf, choked panicked, poured himself a cup of tea, drank a sip, and realized that it was the silver pot that he had grabbed just now.

"Shang Ke." He murmured and poured another glass.

At this time, Chao Chen walked in suddenly, and Gong Yangyue stuffed the silver pot under the blanket, stretched his legs and kicked it into the small table, eating cakes with no expression on his face, occasionally raising his eyes to see what the Tsing Yi scholar was doing.

"It's a strange thing, I just left it here just now." Chao Chen originally planned to pour milk tea into his water bag and drink it on the road. The salty milk tea mixed with salt would be good for recovering his energy after a tiring journey.

But he went out for a while, and even the teapot was gone.

Chao Chen was a little embarrassed, and asked, "Did you see my milk tea?" There was only Gong Yangyue in the room, and the atmosphere was a little strange. It stands to reason that this guy never disliked him, so I guess he didn't like it. It can be seen that he looked up frequently , and a little abnormal, he couldn't help adding, "Could it be you who secretly drank it?"

"Why should I drink that stuff secretly?" Gong Yangyue looked disdainful, "You cooked it so badly, of course it was poured."

"Bad?" Chao Chen asked suspiciously, "How do you know I cooked it?"

Cui Tanfeng couldn't wait in front of the door, she had already been led in by Shuhuan, Shuang Li tiptoed, poking her head and following behind, only felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit weird.

Cui Tanfeng was surprised and asked Shuang Li in a low voice, "They... have any story?"

"I heard that I fell asleep last night." Shuang Li answered casually.

The two who were silent just now said in unison: "Shut up!"

Shuang Li touched his nose, looked at his heart, and babbled: "I finally understand why Shi Qi is so quiet."

----

Fanxi originally said that there was no time, but in the end she squeezed out a stick of incense and rode out of the city alone to see her off.

Shuang Li hugged her waist, rubbed her face against her heart, but refused to let go, and waited for a long time before getting on the horse.After ten miles out of Dunhuang, I still drooped my head, a little depressed.

"What, you can't bear it?" Gong Yangyue clamped his horse's belly and walked beside her.

Shuang Li thought for a while and asked, "Tell me, why is Sister Fanxi so nice to me?" She opened the small cloth bag and looked down at the bulging gold and silver gifts, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.Yes, she is greedy for money and stingy, but she has not reached the shameless place of taking advantage of others for nothing, and she is really uneasy.

"Who knows?" Gongyangyue looked back in the direction of Lu Tangzhai, pressed her shoulder uncharacteristically, not only didn't ask her to take it back with a harsh message, but instead motioned her to accept it, sighing: "Maybe it's like old friends at first sight." .”

With Du's power, it is not difficult to pass the customs. After entering the Qin state, Cui Tanfeng sent the four medical girls beside him back to Dongting, and followed Gongyangyue and his party to Hanzhong.Jiangu is in the southwest of Jianmenguan. To take into account the taboo of Gongyangyue, he abandoned the Jinniu Road and changed to the middle of the Micang Mountain. He took the Micang Road to enter Shu County and went directly to southern Yunnan.

There are many mountains in Bashu, not to mention people, even apes can hardly walk. Therefore, before entering the mountains, five people let their horses go, and changed to walking lightly.

Even though Goguryeo is a small country, at least it is the crown of the country. As the king's court sword guard, Qiao Min can be regarded as a good tracker, otherwise he would not have followed the clues to find Wen Daweng's residence.But even with him, Ye Zidao chased him to Dunhuang after leaving Jinyang.

Gong Yangyue speculates that there are two possibilities, either Ye Zidao was born as a dog and specializes in tracking, or he tampered with leaving the jade carving to Chao Chen and chased it to Dunhuang.If it is the second type, he will have no need to fight under the down tower, so why not leave it to them to carry on?

Leaf Knife's move only shows that he and the people behind him are very clear that the guardians of "Kaiyang" are tough and don't speak nonsense, even Chao Chen and Gongyangyue can't pry out a word Useful news, if you keep it, your life is in danger, so it's better to get it back and take a step first.

Or, they could deduce something more valuable by following the clue of Du Mengjin, or even something bigger, such as the absurd house in Dunhuang City. Getting involved here, knowing too little, makes it even more like falling into a cloud of confusion.

No matter what kind it is, be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, change all unnecessary things when leaving Dunhuang, and check again when entering the mountain.

The wind is cool in autumn, and it is most suitable for climbing.

Three days after entering the mountain, Gongyangyue didn't know what kind of demon he was, and he insisted that his haste was too messy, like a beaten dog in the water, which insulted his reputation of making people fearful, even if life and death were at stake, he should walk calmly, so he walked away Stop, it's a lot slower.

One day in the mountain depression, Qiao Min caught fish, Chao Chen made a fire, Cui Tanfeng carried a medicine basket, and searched for some common herbs on the tidal flats to curb the poison, even Shuang Carp went to the field to dig some wild vegetables, only Gong Yangyue sat on a big rock, holding a piece of feather grass and commanding vigorously.

"Brother Cui said that I need to use less force now. In this way, there will be five useless people in our industry, and none of them can fight..." Gong Yangyue took himself with him, and then clicked on Shuangli, Cui Tanfeng in turn. , Chao Chen.

When the point came to Qiao Min, Shuangli retorted: "Seventeen is not a human?"

Gong Yangyue said solemnly: "He is half. You don't know that there are many women in southern Yunnan, who are charming and good at using poisonous poison. If Qiao Min meets him, he might not be half." He lowered his gaze On Chao Chen, "So you have to fill in the gap."

Chao Chen didn't listen to his nonsense, this man was just too busy to make fun of him.Previously in Dunhuang, they used different methods to provoke him to do it, euphemistically called it, using the method of guidance to teach martial arts.Although his dantian is completely destroyed now, and he has no internal strength, but the boxing skills of the past are still there, and he is not so stupid and fooled.

But he couldn't get rid of Gong Yangyue's mouth, and was annoyed by him, so he simply made a bet, thinking about disgusting ideas, but he still lost, so he was forced to learn from him.

Learning is not called learning, it is called to accompany him, Uncle Gongyang, to relieve boredom.

While sitting around the barbecue, Shuang Li shouted relief, expressing that no one was dragging her to practice at last, and kept giving Chao Chen "peace of mind".Qiao Min didn't say a word, and practiced kung fu by himself after eating, while Cui Tanfeng was the most particular doctor, she had to wash her hands with twisted herbs before meals, and wash them again after meals, and put away all the bones and dregs , not a little dirty.

While he was tidying up, he listened to the argument between the three, and cut in simply: "If you ask me, Mr. Chao shouldn't gamble with him. If you really want to gamble, you need to make a ruthless, shameless, and shameless determination. In my impression, Only Feng Nian, son of the Bohai Feng family, was lucky enough to win."

"It's that Feng Nian who built a u-uh stone boat in Bohai Bay, who is known as the invincible star dart in one hand?" Chao Chen then asked, "What are you betting on?"

Gong Yangyue raised her eyebrows and stared at him: "Brother Cui, don't go too far."

"Bohai? It was the time when I had smallpox and recuperated in Qingzhou, but I didn't make it?" Shuang Li slapped his thigh first, let out a surprise, and then stretched his arms to stop him, "Don't pay attention to him, I want to listen!"

"The bet is that the fish will fall into the wild." Cui Tan smiled first before Feng Weiyu said, and hurriedly turned his back, took out the mortar from the medicine box, put the broken herbs into the medicine mortar, and slowly grinded them with the pestle, "This The guy and Feng Nian each sealed the other's internal strength, and they were in the center of the stone boat, betting on who could sink the wild goose and sink the fish."

Chao Chen glanced at Gong Yangyue, who was twisting the grass knot beside him, and had a bad feeling: "Then what happened next?"

Cui Tanfeng shook his head: "This Feng Nian is also a ruthless person. He hasn't showered for a month. Before boarding the boat, he held his nose and jumped into the cesspit. He just smoked all the fish and geese."

Hearing this, Chao Chen faintly felt familiar. Maybe someone around him mentioned it before, but it was quickly forgotten: "I seem to have heard it."

"Actually, there is still a follow-up." Cui Tanfeng said softly.

"Why, is Gongyangyue so angry that he didn't take a bath for the rest of the month? Or..."

"No, he asked Feng Nian to gamble again. He said that a piece of Dinghai Pearl was buried in a stream at the mouth of the sea, so he bet on who would win the turtle's breath and find the bead first," Cui Tanfeng paused for a moment. , Waiting to whet people's appetite, then he explained, "In the end, he sneaked away by himself, and Jiao Feng Nian soaked in water for three days and three nights, and washed himself thoroughly."

Hearing a "ding dong", Gongyangyue picked a leaf and beat it on Cui Tanfeng's mortar, pretending to warn: "Did you see it with your left eye or your right eye? Don't accuse me!"

Cui Tanfeng moved two feet away, and said, "Although I wasn't there, I saw the wind and cold that Feng Nian got because of it."

Shuang Li chimed in: "If you think about it, Mr. Feng must scold him for being shameless!"

Speaking of this, Chao Chen had the impression that when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he had indeed heard about Feng Nian's illness, but the rumors were not about bead gambling, but that the ram Yuekuang was rude and single-handedly fought against Wuer Shi with two swords. Fang went up and down and used some dirty tricks behind his back to win against the Feng family's sparse star darts.At that time, Gongyangyue had just become famous, Jianghu had always hated and feared the strong, so he fabricated a lot, but it made sense.

Even if he wasn't singled out, he still felt like he couldn't afford to lose. Chao Chen couldn't help but sigh: "In ancient times, Ji Zi hung a sword and Wei Sheng hugged a pillar. Although it's a bet, how can you be untrustworthy?"

Gong Yangyue just snorted coldly, but it was Cui Tanfeng who helped rectify his name: "No." He put down the medicine pestle, looked into everyone's eyes, and said again solemnly, "No! Feng Nian told me that water Although there is no Zhenhai Pearl underneath, but there is an extremely precious medicinal material, combined with the cold air to wash the sutras and cut the marrow, it just healed Feng Nian's internal injuries caused by many years of practicing kung fu and going astray."

"Is that right, Ram Moon?"

Gong Yangyue didn't explain a word, just looked up to the sky and laughed, reached out and slapped the sword out of its sheath, flew over the heads of several people, danced in the air, and fell into the deep forest.
