Chiwuxing

Chapter Seventy-Third - Only when the pen is completed and the picture can be copied can it be realized, and the time-delayed storage becomes the wave of thoughts

The dim light pierced the night, and the rustling sound of footsteps melted into the snow, like a group of beasts migrating at night.

The Chijia army camp was temporarily stationed outside the city, but they didn't notice that among the four passages, there was a dangerous and narrow mountain road, which seemed to be blocked by natural dangers, but it became the source of this night attack.The drowsy young Yan Bing was smeared on his neck while he was still in his dream. It was rare for anyone to notice the movement. In the panic of dying, he passed the news to the nearby camp, and the first thing that spread was the trace of blood. smell.

The knife went up and down, and the man who forced the intrusion was so obsessed with the bloody smell that he completely forgot where he was going.

The sound of rescue calls spread from the front of the camp. After all, this human voice lasted longer than the smell of blood. It floated to the entire camp, then rose and transpired, crossed mountains and ridges, crossed the natural dangers of Qishan Mountain, and adsorbed on the hard wall of Lejin King's Capital On the brick wall, disappeared.

The people inside the wall are also immersed in dreamland, but the bloody blood disappears in the pure white snow-colored void, clean and refreshing.

Fu Chen's first feeling after opening his eyes was tranquility, there was no sound in his mind, but it was not frightening.Because this tranquility is natural and comfortable, like a piece of skin of a baby that has never been touched, it is warm and tender.

He shook his head, recalling all kinds of memories before going to bed, some blurred into dreams, and some even showed human silhouettes.Following the heat source between his wrists, Fu Chen saw the man sitting with the backlight, his deep eye sockets sunken into shadows.

Then he saw the eyes slowly open, facing him.

Fu Chen felt his whole body relax and tense after getting up in the morning, and his breathing trembled, but he swallowed what he wanted to say the moment he raised his tongue.

"Get up as soon as you wake up." Zong Zhengxi let go of his hand, turned the wheelchair to the desk at the other end of the room, leaving behind him, "I still have things to do today."

Hearing this, Fu Chen rolled over from the bed a few times and folded the quilts one by one.

He approached the desk, and spread a piece of khaki-colored sandpaper on the half-person-wide table, with the four sides hanging down around the table. It can be seen vaguely that the fine markings spread from the center to form a mass of ants of varying density.Fu Chen looked up at Zong Zhengxi behind the table, saw the man holding the hem with one hand, and didn't avoid him, so he said, "What is this?"

"Look carefully." Zong Zhengxi lifted up the sandpaper that had fallen to the side.

Fu Chen lowered his head again, and saw that the curved and vertical marks were piled up very regularly, and they were connected with each other. Where the outline was missing, it was connected with a very familiar picture scroll in his heart: "Is this a map?"

Zong Zhengxi nodded.

Fu Chen squinted his eyes and covered the picture in his heart, and said again: "It's Hu Qiang's map."

Zong Zhengxi lowered his eyebrows, pointed to the lower left corner of the map, and said, "Look at these places."

"Hudi has been going eastward. It can be seen that the extremity is an unowned forest between Hu and Yan. What is the terrain behind the forest? Is there a road in the northwest of Yandi?"

"In the same way," Zong Zhengxi turned his fingertips to the lower right, "without these mountains, the southeast of Hu Qiang could be regarded as a strategic thoroughfare that must be contested in military battles. The mountains are obviously not part of it, if we can find out the topographical direction, it can still be a blessed land."

Fu Chen stared at the blank space where the man's fingertips touched, and remained silent.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Zong Zhengxi asked casually, looked up at him, saw that he was in a daze again, and asked, "...did you wake up?"

"I know this place," Fu Chen pursed his lips, and said calmly, "I lived in the mountains and forests for eight years when I was young, and it's in this mountain."

Zong Zhengxi stopped talking.

"I saw a stone tablet on the top of the mountain at the time, and there were two words 'nameless' on it. Maybe this is the name of this mountain," Fu Chen said frankly, "The forests, trees, birds, and animals in the mountain are all the same as ordinary mountains and rivers, except for the lack of The trails of people, the bushes are chaotic, and strange people take the shape of nature, so it is difficult for ordinary people to get in, and it is extremely difficult to get out after entering."

"Then how did you enter the mountain and how did you get out?" Zong Zhengxi asked.

Fu Chen raised his head, and was facing the man's deep lake-like eyes, which now contained a shallow layer of inquiry.

His Adam's apple twitched, and he turned his gaze to the map, and said: "When I was young, I lived with my mother in Tan County. When I was 12 years old, someone in the county had a fever. My mother immediately wanted to take me away from the county to go to another place. I was playful, and stayed with the young master of my boss for a day, and then I started to have a fever on the way away. At that time, I fainted and didn't know about human affairs. I only knew that my mother was carrying me around to visit doctors. After waking up, I was in the mountains. There was no one in the bamboo hut. Until eight years later, a man in white suddenly gave me the map of going out of the mountain, and he told me that my mother exchanged her life for my life."

Fu Chen stabbed his palm vigorously with his fingertips until the pain spread from the meridian to the brain, he said: "...My crime may have been since then."

The room was silent, Fu Chen looked up at Zong Zhengxi, and found that he was also concentrating, as if thinking about something, he added: "It's true."

"In the 22nd year of Xisheng, the epidemic broke out in Tan County, and all the people in the county perished," Zong Zhengxi squinted his eyes, and turned his gaze to Fu Chen's face, "There are still people alive?"

"Current epidemic?" Fu Chen was shocked, "...I didn't know it was a seasonal epidemic. At that time, my mother only told me that the construction period was up and I was going to my next home in Lincheng... Later, when I went to Tan County, I really couldn't find anyone. The private houses and shops have also been abandoned, many of which have been seized by bandits for their own use, but...the civilian soldiers and guards in the neighboring counties have never heard that it was caused by the epidemic.”

Zong Zhengxi's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard the news at the border, and I took a few military doctors to investigate the information. At that time, apart from the Yiwei officers and soldiers who blocked the line, there was no one in the city from the county magistrate to the common people. It was a scorching summer, and the report to the imperial capital was pushed back and forth, and then it was suppressed by the thief Jiang, and then raised again... More than a thousand lives were but a sigh."

Fu Chen closed his eyes immediately, silently facing each other.

"Actually," Fu Chen broke the silence, changed the subject, and said, "A few months ago, I was rescued after falling off a cliff, and when I woke up, I found that I was in the same bamboo house that I lived in more than ten years ago. That room is exactly the same, I can conclude that it is in the nameless mountain again. It seems that this maze in the mountain is not incomprehensible, maybe the person I have seen is the manipulator behind it."

"You met the man in white again?"

"No, it's a young man," Fu Chen frowned, forcing himself to recall the details, and said, "...yes, he claimed to be the young lord of the Southern Barbarian royal family, calling... Fu Zan... but listen to his words , seems to be acquainted with the man in white."

Zong Zhengxi's eyelids twitched, his eyes were dim, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's related to Fu Xuan..."

"I've never seen him before," Fu Chen added, "That Fu Zan probably didn't live in the mountains, but rather worked for others. I remembered that he seemed to mention in his words that the person who saved me was a proficient The person with poisonous gu and witchcraft might be the one in white, but I haven't seen him again."

"It seems," Zongzheng Xi said, "this place is still related to the barbarians. Then do you still remember how old is the man in white?"

"He still looks young, but his hair is all white," Fu Chen said with a sad smile, "If he is like me... I don't know how old he is, but he must be much older than me."

The rising sunlight outside the window came in and hit the young man's face.

"Why did you commit suicide in the first place?" Zong Zhengxi asked instead.

"At first it was... because I have no face, let's live again," the young man said with a calm expression, "Instead of waiting for God to take my life, it's better to find a chance to end it myself."

Zong Zhengxi seemed to see through him that pair of gray pupils tore off the last-minute determination and hid it forever in the infinity.

"and after?"

"Later, I felt that I would die sooner or later," the young man raised one corner of his lips, "Why don't you do something else, maybe this is my advantage... It's a pity that there is always a choice between surrendering to human affairs and surrendering to God's will, and the world is peaceful There is no difference between good and bad in the two-pronged approach.”

While Fu Chen was speaking, it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have never told anyone about his suicide before, except for a stranger, Fu Zhan, how did Zong Zhengxi know?

"As long as you don't want to die," Zongzheng Xi said, "no one can block your way of survival."

Fu Chen murmured in a low voice: "As long as you don't want to die, no one can block your way of life..."

"No," Zongzheng Xi said, "You forgot the most important word."

Fu Chen's fingers loosened, and all kinds of feelings turned into one sentence: "I see."

Zong Zhengxi traced the outline of Hu Qiang on the map with his fingertips, and said: "From Hu Qiang to Yandi, it seems that there is only a heavily guarded passage in the north of Yandi, but in fact, there are two left and right passages."

"The Wuming Mountain seems to have been occupied by barbarians for a long time without knowing it." Fu Chen thought about it.

Zongzheng Xi said: "Fu Xuan has not been staring at the land of Yan Kingdom for a day or two. I am afraid that he has tried thousands of times for the methods and means that he can think of. At this time, he should be thinking about picking and choosing. Mouth."

Fu Chen was dazed for a moment because of the plain indifference in the man's tone, and then said: "There should be a turning point for the experiment in the northwest."

"That's right," Zong Zhengxi turned his gaze back to the map, "The terrain is the foundation of a war, and we need to observe it carefully before we can make a strategy."

"Well," Fu Chen glanced at him secretly, and said, "Then let me go."

"Get dressed," Zong Zhengxi glanced at his open collar, and said, "Let's set off now to complete the whole area west of Hu Qiang. I told you about He Xuyu's place in advance, and you will follow me." yes."

The man noticed a momentary hesitation on the young man's face. He was too familiar with this expression and naturally knew what he was thinking: "Do you remember Mengshan?"

"...Remember." Naturally, it was the beginning when the two of them met each other in embarrassment. When they were closest to death, they still tried their best to grasp the possibility of life.

Zongzheng Xi said: "It is true that I took risks in Mengshan, but I was not completely unprepared. Before the reinforcements, I went to investigate alone. I need you to remember that recklessness is the backside of courage. .”

"Besides, I just can't move my legs, not my whole body."

Fu Chen felt a little embarrassed when his mind was broken, so he asked, "How do I go?"

"horse riding."

That's right, there really isn't a better option here.It's just that Fu Chen was still suspicious. When they arrived at the stables outside the capital, the older horseman also cast the same gaze. He glanced at the waiting people in wheelchairs behind him, and then looked Looking at the young man holding two horses in front of him, he said: "You want to lead two horses? Chasa still wants to ride a horse when he goes out?"

"I have explained to the wolf master," Fu Chen was puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't tolerate the sizing eyes of others. He took a small step sideways, blocking the sight of the barbarian who was watching the horse, and said coldly, "There is no need for other things. You take care of it."

"Okay... okay." The horse watcher knew that this kid was capable, although he asked all kinds of rhetorical questions in his heart, on the surface he was not as knowledgeable as a young man.

The horse watcher gave way here, and Fu Chen held a horse in one hand and walked extremely slowly, but he only stepped forward, neither getting ready to ride on the horse nor talking to the people behind him.It wasn't until he came to an empty and uninhabited grassland that he paused, and then he stopped and looked back.

Zong Zhengxi followed him, and after a short distance, he also stopped the wheelchair.

"If you're riding a horse...you won't need a wheelchair on the way." Fu Chen said cautiously.

His only memory is still on the road when he was on the expedition. He saw him struggling to get on the sedan chair with great difficulty, but it may not be easy to get on the horse.

"Yes." Zong Zhengxi's face was as flat as ever, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing him slowly turn the chair close to the horse, Fu Chen took two steps forward, turned his back and squatted down.

Fu Chen lowered his eyes, and felt a sudden sinking on his shoulders, which should be the man's palms on it, but only for a moment, the gravity disappeared immediately, the clothes flapped against each other, and the side of the horse moved, with a low voice The voice came from the uploader: "Let's go."

Fu Chen was taken aback, and quickly got on his horse to follow, the complicated meaning in his heart was still there, so he naturally refused to show any compassion.Even at the most carefree moment, Zong Zhengxi was still a mighty beast in his eyes, even if he was seriously injured, he would not change his former aura.Perhaps because of the changes in the past few months, they suddenly had these entanglements, which made him unable to bear to transfer his previous thoughts.

Sunrise in the east, photosynthetic four fields.Before the snow had dissipated, the sunlight directly fell on the human face with a cold expression. Fu Chen raised his head habitually, letting the fine golden scales fall on his pupils.

Every time this time comes, time can be annihilated in that Wang Huali.

Zong Zhengxi looked back and was about to speak to him, but he was suddenly captivated by the brilliance on the young man's face at this moment.He paused for a moment while pulling the reins, then turned his staring gaze, and said: "Now along the Huidan Ridge and across the hill in front, there should be a forest. Now go straight to the west and see the situation."

"Okay." Fu Chen put down the scene and replied.

"drive!"

Zongzhengxi sped up here, and Fu Chen quickly followed. He suddenly noticed that Zongzhengxi's dismounted horse was hanging in the air. Although the brown horse and black clothes couldn't be distinguished clearly, one could find it was strange after careful observation. The lower skirt hangs down, as if it has no legs.Fu Chen took a deep breath, it's no wonder that Zong Zhengxi's riding speed was not considered fast, but if he was in such a situation, it could be considered a strong riding speed.

The two of them walked in a hurry, the terrain suddenly sank, and when they got to the bottom of the ridge, they saw a deep forest far away beyond the ice lake in front of them.

Stopping his horse in front of the frozen pond, Fu Chen turned his head and said, "Has your Highness been here before?"

"No," Zong Zhengxi looked around and said, "This place is not suitable for farming and animal husbandry. It is barren and inhabited, and the south is separated from Yandi by natural danger. It is no longer a place for people to stay forever."

Fu Chen covered half of the sky with the rolling hills to the left, and thinking that behind him would lead to the land of Yan Kingdom, he couldn't help but glance at Zong Zhengxi again.

"The moorland is frozen in winter, so it's easier to walk than usual." Zong Zhengxi looked ahead, and the horse wanted to move forward again.

"Be careful." Fu Chen reminded.

He also followed closely, never thinking that just as he finished speaking, the horse in front swayed suddenly, Fu Chen subconsciously let go of the reins, leaned his upper body to the right and pulled one side of the horse's mane. , with a strong hook of the thigh, the whole body leaps from the left side to the right side.Here, Zong Zhengxi's upper body, which was about to fall, was forcibly stopped, and Fu Chen kicked back on the horse's back, and adjusted his sitting position backwards.The brown horse neighed vigorously and raised its head, Fu Chen pulled the reins tightly from behind, forcibly bound Zongzheng Xi into his arms.

The horseshoe pedaled a few steps on the spot, and stopped moving.

Fu Chen took a steady breath, realized that the current posture was weird, and quickly got off the horse again.

Zong Zhengxi also breathed out lightly, and his tone was the same as before: "It's because I didn't think about it carefully. Although this swamp is frozen, the depth of the original sinking is still different, and the potholes are uneven. will be blocked flatly."

Fu Chen was still frozen in place, just now he was startled for a moment, when the thighs rubbed against each other, even through layers of cloth, he could clearly feel the emptiness underneath, with a hidden layer of hard bones, like the thickness of a wrist, it should be more than what he felt at the beginning Still have to thin it out a bit.

"...In that case," Fu Chen swallowed the shuddering feeling, and continued, "Let me explore the road first, the woods over there don't look far away. Although I don't have enough internal strength, I did things for others back then. However, I am familiar with the absconding skills of flying over the roof and walls."

"You go." Zong Zhengxi quickly agreed.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the young man leaping on his toes in three or two steps, as if walking in the air, not affected by the undulating terrain below, with a light body, skimming on the snow.

The golden but shriveled reed clumps scraped over his clothes and trembling fingertips, and the cold winter wind scratched his cheeks, he stopped the familiar palpitation just now.

He has seen a lot of dead bodies, but all kinds of tragic death methods are not as good as the memories and experiences that he recalled just now. The half limb that was already dead really penetrated into his heart.

Zong Zhengxi stared at the figure of the young man who quickly sank into the swamp, held the horse's reins tightly, and let the horse's hooves scatter in place.

The hours went down without a sound, and the sky was full of cirrocumulus clouds of red and purple clouds, which were within reach.

When Fu Chen walked back, he said to Zongzheng Xi: "Behind this large swamp is the Populus euphratica forest, and beyond the forest, to the west is the desert. The sand is so heavy that it is difficult to walk alone. You must not march there. .”

Zong Zhengxi was silent.

"Is there a gap between the mountains and rivers over there?" Fu Chen frowned and looked over there, and said, "If this can directly lead to the northwest valley of Yandi, there is no need to make a big detour."

"The surrounding mountains here are all towering canyons, which are difficult for a long army to cross," Zongzheng Xi said. "Even if there is a narrow area for passage, it is mostly covered by vegetation. It is extremely inconvenient for a single person to pass through, let alone a large-scale march. .”

"There are no mountains that are completely continuous," Fu Chen said, "There are always holes that can be broken."

Zong Zhengxi continued: "Most of the places that can be passed are eroded by water or artificially opened up. This place is adjacent to the desert and sparsely populated, which is an exception."

"I'll go and have a look." Fu Chen didn't give up, he just got on his horse and headed towards the high mountain in the south.

Zong Zhengxi followed with his horse, but his speed was too slow, and he fell far behind.

The mountains and rivers look majestic from a distance, but you can feel the majestic oppression more intuitively when you look up close.

"The danger of Chuanze is a geographical advantage, but in real battles, there is never an absolute geographical advantage. As long as they break this advantage they think they will be able to catch them by surprise," Zong Zhengxi understood what Fu Chen was thinking earlier, He only said in a deep voice, "But the mountain here is thick and steep, and it is not suitable for crossing or climbing."

Fu Chen frowned, looked up at the snow-covered mountain, which looked dark and tall in the shadows, he was still obsessed with it: "I just thought... I read in the history books, that there was a mountain forest masonry during Emperor Yanhuan's time. Because of laziness, he created a method of blasting mountains and quarrying rocks, and as a result, he dug the ancient tomb of the previous dynasty by mistake, and then sold the treasures in the tomb to become a wealthy family. According to the book, that method is nothing more than the traditional method of using hot and cold injection.”

Zong Zhengxi immediately understood, his eyes flashed, and he said immediately: "You can give it a try."

Fu Chen tilted his head, his expression still solemn, and said: "It's just that the mountain is huge, and this method of blowing up the mountain will consume a lot of manpower, so it may not be able to keep up with the time."

"It's not necessary to blow up all of them," Zongzheng Xi said. "Let's not talk about the time it takes. It would be a waste of time if the movement is too loud and the guards in Yandi are disturbed. There is always a gap between the mountains. At that time, try to Just pave the way."

"Okay," Fu Chen nodded in agreement, he looked up at the steep mountain that pierced into the clouds, and said seriously, "It's not too late, I'll turn over to check the terrain, you wait here... No, it should be too late, You go back and rest overnight, I will dig out the terrain behind the mountain tomorrow and make a decision."

Zong Zhengxi followed his gaze towards the steep mountain wall, hesitated for a moment, then disappeared, and said: "It's getting dark, you must settle down before nightfall."

He handed over a few firecrackers and said, "Come back before sunset tomorrow."

"Okay." He exchanged a glance with Zong Zhengxi.

Fu Chen took off his coat, straightened the cuffs and hem, took out a dark dart from the sleeve and held it in his hand, and immediately cut a piece of fabric from the corner of the clothes with a "stab".

Zong Zhengxi saw his movements, knew what he was going to do, and said, "Have you climbed this mountain before?"

Fu Chen paused, and said truthfully, "No."

"Then you don't need to cover your eyes," Zong Zhengxi said in a deep voice, "Take it off."

"Because I'm blind in one eye, I really can't see things clearly at night," Fu Chen said, "If I'm completely blind, it's hard to find any traces. It's this kind of half-sightedness that disturbs the mind the most."

"If this is the reason," Zong Zhengxi broke through the cover-up in his words, and said, "You can climb the mountain with your eyes closed, there is no need to do anything extra."

Or the young man was so embarrassed that he suddenly fell silent and didn't answer.

"Take it off," the man's voice was still low, but there was an imperceptible mellowness, "The outer mountains here are higher than the Yandi mountains and rivers, and there are many winds and sand erosion, and the broken stones are falling randomly. Even if there is half visible force, it is vitality. If you really insist on feeling with your ears, close your eyes."

Fu Chen's fingertips trembled, and he looked away from his coat belt. Today's busy day's bravery seemed to be broken by this move: "...I will be afraid."

"You said you believed me," Zong Zhengxi said earnestly, "You are not a person who broke your promise."

"Take it off." Fu Chen's heart was shaken at this time, and he naturally didn't know the patience that men rarely have at this time.

Fu Chen listened to his words, tore off the cloth belt and threw it on the ground, the color spots in front of his eyes were mottled, he ignored the momentary dizziness, turned back, and leaped to the footstone with a few big strides, like a snow leopard climbing among the rocks.

Zong Zhengxi remained motionless at the foot of the mountain for a long time, the dark shadow under the protruding browbones set off the sharp gaze of a falcon, and the gaze clung to the figure climbing the mountain until it disappeared.

Sumina hides the mustard dust, the snow mountains melt away the noise, the sun rises and the sun sets, never changing its true colors.

The thick snow on the Qingyan quietly thinned a layer, and Asuka was startled by the sudden argument, and had no time to pay attention to this subtle change.

"Jiang Zhong, what do you mean?" A man's voice suddenly became cold, with a threatening tone.

"This is also the benefactor's intention, you just do it." Jiang Zhong didn't care.

"What's the reason? If you don't speak clearly, how can you obey orders?"

"Yo, you can do it now, you need to inquire about the reason behind even obeying the order? Who gave you the courage?"

"Without further ado."

"Cut... This is because the benefactor is thinking of you. You can't grasp the opportunity. When we change positions, you don't have to put on such a bad face," Jiang Zhongdao, "Tang Lan, you have it now. How confident are you... don't you know how to flatter?"

"If you don't like it, come here and fight. If you can't fight, shut up," Tang Lan said, "The benefactor is not all about fighting, and he has always told me directly, when he needs you to come alone The order was given to me."

Jiang Zhongdao: "Yizhou is still fighting for the past two days, at least we have to wait for the brothers who went to investigate to come back, and go there after understanding the situation. Isn't this convenient?"

"You have to wait for the barbarians and barbarians to come in after everyone is dead." Tang Lan raised her eyebrows disdainfully, "Don't you think the timing is too fake?"

"Let's attack along the foot of the northern mountain, not directly from the rear," Jiang Zhong said, "Even if we really ask, we have a plan to attack, and we should delay some time along the way. Besides, the escorting concubine was originally It is to protect His Majesty Sheng'an, who would dare to talk about this matter."

"Even if you convince me, what about the group of boys under your command? Are you afraid that they will go back and gossip? People's words are terrible, and you can't afford to lose the morale of the army."

"After entering the Chijia, they don't know what to say or not. This should be what they are best at," Jiang Zhong said as usual, "These newcomers don't know anything about this, so what are they doing here?"

"Are you sure that the Yan people and the barbarians are coming aggressively, so we can withstand it with this little reinforcement?" Tang Lan said, "The only thing you got rid of is my reputation, I think you just want to take the opportunity to stand up to me again hat?"

Jiang Zhong's face froze, and he was about to speak again, when there was a "snap", his head suddenly hurt, and a small stone fell from nowhere, it was not big, but the momentum made him cry out.

"It deserves it," Tang Lan snorted, then his eyes flickered, and he looked up in the direction where the stone fell. Under the purple-black night sky, the slanting branches were messy, and the cliffs were stacked upwards, and the mountains and rivers were quiet.

He turned his head and approached Jiang Zhong a little closer, and said in a low voice, "Are you bleeding?"

"Fart!" Jiang Zhong thought he was going to taunt again, and felt annoyed, "A broken rock can still make me bleed."

"Don't you smell blood?" Tang Lan narrowed his eyes.

Hearing the words, Jiang Zhong also sniffed, but it was just the usual cold air from the mountains and forests, he couldn't distinguish blood breath, and said, "Where is it? What's wrong with you being suspicious?"

The voices of people below rustled endlessly, Fu Chen was attached to the rock, but he didn't dare to move.

With both feet lightly resting on the steep stone layer, the lower body is almost suspended in the air, unable to support the upper body with strength.But his left knuckles dug deep into a rock crevice, his right hand had nowhere to go, so he had to use a hidden dart to insert into a vertical rock crevice, although it was not strong, but he firmly grasped the dart body and inserted it at an oblique angle, barely gaining support.The grip in the palm was so strong that the edge of the dart body cut the flesh on the hand, and the red blood flowed to the wrist.

The ups and downs of the words came to Fu Chen's ears, he moved his stiff head quietly, tilted his head and stuck out his tongue, licking the blood from his wrist, the rusty salty taste just poured into the corners of his mouth at this moment Most of the time, the water that has not been drunk has dried up.

Tang Lan walked a few steps forward along the mountain path, and there was a natural cave in the side mountain. The cave was pitch-black, and he walked over, leaning over as if picking up something.

Jiang Zhong didn't know why, so he followed him and saw that Tang Lan was holding a blood-stained rabbit skin with a little red lumps of flesh and blood on it, which was obviously left over after being dismantled and eaten.

Seeing this, without waiting for a closer look, he quickly snatched the thing from Tang Lan's hand, threw it at the entrance of the cave, and said as he turned back, "The back of the mountain is adjacent to a deserted area... Be careful of the wolves and wild beasts around here." They come and go in groups, the mountains are barren here, and the wild beasts are very ferocious, if you and I bump into each other, the brothers below will not be able to get up for a while."

Tang Lan was too lazy to argue with him, and followed him down the mountain.

"...You are really a dog's nose." Jiang Zhong couldn't help saying to him.

"That's why you and I are in different positions now." Tang Lan's cold eyes were still full of irony, "Now lead the troops to Yizhou directly overnight, so there is no need to wait any longer. If you say one more word, you don't have to stay with me in the future." here."

Jiang Zhong snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

The voices of the two faded away, Fu Chen gritted his teeth, hesitating whether to wait a little longer, his eyes looked down at the branches below, and he estimated in his heart where he would use his strength to go down.Indistinctly, there seemed to be flames flickering among the branches.Is someone coming again?

Fu Chen didn't dare to move rashly for a moment, the dried blood on his wrist was stained again, the pain just made him wake up.

"Come down."

Zong Zhengxi's voice suddenly sounded, and the astonishment could not be concealed. Fu Chen subconsciously let go of his grip, pulled out the dark dart, climbed over the rock formation a few times, and landed on the ground.

Fu Chenxu took a breath, looked at Zong Zhengxi who came from nowhere in a wheelchair, and asked in surprise, "How did Your Highness come here?"

The mountain road is rugged after all, he has taken all kinds of shortcuts from the outside mountain to the inside, could it be that Zong Zhengxi found a cheaper place to enter the mountain before him?

"I walked along the foothills at the very beginning, and found a narrow opening by the stream, leading to the canyon across the middle. Unfortunately, the narrow opening is difficult to pass, and not many people can pass through it, but it can be regarded as a break through the mountain pass. Introduction point." Zongzheng Xi said.

Fu Chen nodded, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I broke my promise, and I couldn't go back before sunset."

"Since I'm here, I don't need to count," Zongzheng Xi paused, showing a slight sneer, but it was a pity that Fu Chen lowered his eyes and missed it.He said again, "I think if you don't follow and lie there for a long time, you probably won't be able to finish it before sunset."

Fu Chen's relaxed body froze together again, remembering that his actions were seen by a third person just now, he suddenly felt the embarrassment of being seen by others and the confusion of those unbearable past events.

He squeezed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, he said in a hoarse voice: "...Does Your Highness still have a pen and paper with him? While my memory is still fresh, I will first trace out the appearance of this place." .”

Zong Zhengxi glanced at him up and down, turned around and said, "Follow me first."

Fu Chen followed, the wheelchair was bumpy on the uneven mountain road, but the person sitting alone on it sat as firmly as a rock and walked like a flat ground.A few steps away was another natural rock cave with a low entrance, and he had to bow slightly to enter.While leaning over, he saw the blood-clotting rabbit fur peeling off at the entrance of the hole. He thought it was something that the two had just disputed.

There was a low "crack" sound in the cave, and the fire suddenly lit up. Zong Zhengxi lit the fire and threw it into the woodpile, then handed him a handkerchief, and said, "Tie up the wound on your hand."

Fu Chen took it obediently, keeping his eyes on Zong Zhengxi's movements.Seeing that he took out a few stacked sandpapers from a mezzanine on the side of the wheelchair, transferred them to a relatively flat stone on the edge of the cave, and put the prepared lead strips on it.Immediately, he picked up some more firewood, and lit a firework on the side of the boulder with a torch, and the warm orange light was reflected on the paper beside him.

The man's movements are always calm and unhurried. He has never seen this pair of hands that used to lift the halberd and hold the sword in the battlefield to destroy the enemy and calm the world, but maybe it is like this, always crisp and neat, Methodical.Even if it is a difficult and dangerous situation, it can be resolved calmly like a stroll in the courtyard.A man who will always be trusted by his subordinates.

"Come on." Zong Zhengxi arranged everything here as he asked, turned around and said to him.

"...Okay." Fu Chen came out of the trance just now, held the corner of the handkerchief with his left hand, bit the other corner with his teeth, and tied a hard knot on his right palm. The familiar pain lifted his spirits. In the past two days, the mountains, streams, valleys, and forests he saw in the past two days were arranged in pictures in his mind, passing through them from all angles.

He stepped forward to pick up the lead block with his right hand as a pen, and the picture in front of him was separated into layers of lines and structures, from Hongshan to dark corners, spreading in his mind bit by bit, with the help of the lead stick in his hand. presented on paper.

It seems that time has disappeared, and the night does not wait for human affairs, and the overlapping hours pass by him in a blink of an eye.After Fu Chen finished the picture in his hand, even he himself was taken aback, checked it again, raised his head and said, "It's finished."

Fang came out of this moment of concentration, and a smell of burnt barbecue passed through his nose, and then passed into his consciousness.

"Come here." Zong Zhengxi was not in a hurry to look at him, but only paid attention to the cooked rabbit meat in his hand. The fire was not well controlled in the wild, and there was faint black smoke coming out of his nose, so he stopped in time.

Fu Chen stepped forward and saw Zong Zhengxi holding a bunch of skewered meat balls in his hand, the appearance was already burnt yellow, obviously cooked.

Zong Zhengxi handed it to him.

Fu Chen was taken aback and forgot to reach out to pick it up.

Zong Zhengxi pointed to a bowl bound with broad leaves and twigs, which was filled with dark thick liquid, which glowed with rich black and red shadows under the firelight, and said: "The blood of rabbits is cold in nature. , if you are not extremely thirsty, endure it first. If you are really thirsty, drink less."

Instead, he noticed that the young man on this side had not reached out his hand for a long time, so he raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Stretch out your hand."

Hearing this, Fu Chen took it quickly, pursed his lips and said, "...you don't want to eat this meat?"

He exhaled softly through his nasal cavity, Zong Zhengxi seemed unwilling to get entangled in this matter, turned his chair to the other side, and said, "Let me see how you draw."

Fu Chen, who hadn't eaten for two days, was indeed empty in his stomach and needed to be swallowed urgently.Just at this moment, he took a big bite of the rabbit meat in his hand, then chewed it slowly, staring at Zong Zhengxi intently, but at this moment he rarely felt nervous when he always held disdain for the enemy.

Even though he knew that the man was always pale, but at this moment he still wanted to see some emotions from Zong Zhengxi's expression.

After a while, Zong Zhengxi raised his eyes and glanced at him for a short time, but the expression was neither joyful nor resentful, but a more complicated and unspeakable expression, which he couldn't figure out for a short time.

Fu Chen gnawed the rabbit meat in his hand a few times, threw the branch, got up and went over, swallowed again, and said, "...how?"

Zong Zhengxi looked up at him again, expressionless, this unanswered silence and staring at him made Fu Chen's heart suspend again.Then, Zong Zhengxi said slowly: "This kind of memory that never forgets... I have only met one person before."

Fu Chen froze, Zong Zhengxi stared at him, knowing what he was thinking, and continued, "It's him."

The man turned his gaze back to the picture again,
