No one dared to shout, and the sun fell on people, but no one felt a trace of warmth.

The light was pale and cold, making people break out in cold sweat.

The guards seemed to have their tongues pulled out collectively, and they looked at the fallen comrades in shock.

No one knew exactly what happened just now, they didn't even have time to resist and block, they watched this weird girl kick away the guard who blocked her, and rode on the guard at an inhuman speed, Xiao Xiao Looking at the non-threatening fist, punch after punch hit the guard's face.

Just relying on brute force, the guards were bloodied.

And that happened almost instantly, no one could clearly see how the girl's fist fell, and almost all of them became afterimages.

When she got off the guard and turned her head, her face was covered in blood.

She licked a drop of blood from her lips, and half-closed her eyes intoxicated.

At any rate, she still remembered that this was Chen Hou's person, and she didn't kill him directly, but she only left him a sigh of relief.

The girl's flirtatious red eyes looked at them again: "Can you take me there now?"

"You." Sarah pointed to the guard she had climbed over her shoulder, "Come and carry me on your back and lead me there."

The guard swallowed, and Sarah stared at him. The guard immediately threw himself in front of her, then slowly got up, and squatted with his back to her. Sarah climbed onto the guard's back, sat down and patted him on the back. Shoulder: "Let's go."

After the guard stood up with her back on her back, Sarah looked at those who were still frozen in place. She smiled at them, her canine teeth glowing coldly: "You can call someone as you please, but..."

She didn't finish her sentence, she hesitated to speak.

The guards were sweating profusely because of this, and when Sarah was carried away, the guards seemed to come to their senses and sat down on the ground.

The underwear of several people was soaked in cold sweat. They looked at each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes.

I don't know how long it took before someone got up.

"Captain!" They rushed towards the guard who had been beaten until he was breathing in but not breathing out.

Five people formed a team, and the guard who was beaten unconscious was the leader of their team.

"What shall we do?" Someone asked.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and someone whispered, "We should have stopped each other with our lives just now..."

They are gate guards. No matter who breaks through the barrier, they should fight with their lives, but not only did they not resist, they even let the other party leave. Once they are discovered, this is a serious crime of beheading!

Several people said almost simultaneously: "This matter..."

Shut up at the same time, although they know what others are going to say, but they are not willing to be the first to say it.

Finally, a new guard couldn't help but said: "That girl is not an ordinary person at first glance, she is probably a mountain spirit and wild monster. The corporal leader led us to fight desperately, and she was knocked unconscious to the ground. I don't know if she is alive or dead, so I don't know. Where did she go, there is no time to report what she has done."

"In this case, if you don't have any injuries on your body, you can't win people's trust." The guard looked at his comrade.

Fight each other!

Sarah didn't know she hit one, and all four fell.

She didn't really ask the guards to carry her on her back, and asked the guards to show her the way before going down the city wall.

After all, being carried behind the back, the target is still too big, and it would be a strange thing not to be discovered.

The guard was so frightened that he didn't dare to point in any direction. Sarah followed his fingertips and found that the place he was pointing at was indeed a house, which was bigger than the low earthen house next to it. After confirming that the other party was not lying, she politely gave him a hand knife, knocked him out and hid him aside.

Sarah only walked where no one was around, and jumped onto the roof of the house after going around for a while on the hillside where there was no one around.

·

"Come! Eat wine!" The man with wide lips sat in the hall, and dozens of guests were at his head. In front of him were steaks with wine bottles and meat. After drinking a glass, he let out a long sigh. It is Your Majesty."

The guests whispered to each other, and the man said, "If I let you go to the customs, I'm sorry for the left disciples. If I don't let you go, I'm sorry for Chen Guo."

The man asked again: "Do you have a plan?"

One of the guests said loudly: "Now the Zuo disciples are in charge of the government, the emperor's Zi Palace will be buried tomorrow, and the new emperor is about to ascend the throne. It is not a good thing to let the former emperor enter the pass at this time."

"If you let it go, there will be chaos in the country." Ke Qing said seriously, "If the general really thinks about Chen Guo, he won't let it go."

Another guest retorted: "That's not right, general. Now that the country is in turmoil, you have thousands of people at your disposal. If the general lets you enter the customs, you will be able to help you put things right. Then..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Rong, who was sitting at the top, could understand him.

The general guarding the gate is naturally an extremely important position, and anyone who is not trusted by the monarch cannot be competent.

But this is also a hard job, the border is remote, and there has been no war in Chen country for many years, although merchants from other countries must pass through here, but Chen Guoqiong, the people have no surplus food in their families, and the businessmen who come and go are all businessmen who have close contacts with the nobles and nobles , the generals guarding the pass can't get much money at all.

Zhang Rong didn't want to stay here long ago.

Zuo Tu promised him that when the new king came to the throne, he would be transferred away from the border and returned to Wangcheng.

But Zhang Rong is undecided now, Zuo Tu is a snobbish person, and it is possible to regret it later, but if he falls for the king...

Earlier, Ke Qing persuaded again: "General! Don't hesitate, since you have already made an agreement with Zuo Tu, you can't go back on it!"

"At this point, it's not auspicious to be capricious!"

Guest: "Now the general and the Zuo disciple are both prosperous. At this time, the general turned to the king, but it is just a waste of merit. There is no benefit in liquidation afterwards. Instead, he is holding the handle of the Zuo disciple and holding the military power in his hand. The Zuo disciple You are a smart person, and you will not dare to treat the general badly after you have accomplished something."

Ke Qing's voice was loud: "General, think twice! Don't repeat it, General!"

Zhang Rong pursed his lips tightly, he and the monarch had known each other since childhood, and had friendship, but Shiqing Shilu, his father was a general guarding the gate, so he wanted to be the general guarding the gate, the emperor trusted his father, and the monarch also trusted him.

It's not that the monarch treats him badly. Every year when all the ministers go to the palace, he has a place. He is the second under the monarch, and the one above him is Chen Yan.

But this is not what he wants. He wants to be as unrestrained and free as the children of the aristocratic family in the book. He doesn't have to be trapped in the poor mountains and rivers, but he can live a leisurely life with rich clothes and good food.

"Since I have agreed to Zuo disciple, it is really hard to go back on it." Zhang Rong sighed, "The people outside the pass are villains who pretend to be the former emperor of our country. kill."

Now that he has decided which side to fall to, he must cut the grass and root out the roots, so that no one can know that Chen Hou is still alive.

The guest who persuaded Zhang Rong to fall to Marquis Chen stopped talking. He lowered his head and scolded Rong Zhang in his heart for being stupid. Zuo Tu must deal with him in the future, otherwise the young master will be in charge. If he learns that Zuo Tu has harmed Chen Hou, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not Revenge, a thoughtful person like Zuo Tu will definitely not leave insiders behind.

But he didn't dare to say too much, there are so many guests here, it's hard to guarantee that there are no spies from the left disciples.

Ke Qing has already made up his mind, after the banquet is over, he has to find a way to leave here and follow the general, he doesn't know when his head will fall.

"Come, let's drink and drink." Zhang Rong shouted.

The guests in the room immediately exchanged glasses and complimented Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong drank a few glasses of wine, and the little fear and regret disappeared with the strength of the wine. He stood up on the wooden table and straightened his clothes: "Everyone wait a moment, let me go out and give instructions to the general."

He walked down the steps and walked out in strides without stopping at all.

He pushed open the wooden door, and was about to command the soldiers guarding the door.

Sudden accident——

A petite figure suddenly fell from the eaves and landed on Zhang Rong's shoulder impartially.

Before Zhang Rong could react, his neck was suddenly strangled.

That hand was very small, and he actually thought of this in a panic.

But although this hand was small, its strength was so strong that his face turned red quickly, and his eyeballs were even forced out of their sockets.

Sarah lowered her head and whispered in the man's ear: "I told you to open the city gate, otherwise I will kill you now. After you die, there will be chaos here, and the city gate will naturally open."

The soldiers on both sides shouted: "General!"

The Ke Qing inside the door was also frightened out of their wits by this sudden change, but no one dared to step forward.

Sarah's pale blond curls startled them.

Sarah's nails gradually grew longer, poking two holes in Zhang Rong's neck, and blood slowly slid down his neck.

Sarah was a little greedy, but she held back her appetite: "I'll let you go now, let them open the door if you want to save your life."

His own general was held hostage by this girl who fell from the sky, and the soldiers did not dare to act rashly.

Sarah let go of her hand, and Zhang Rong was finally able to breathe. He took a big breath, and was so choked that he bent over and coughed. Sarah didn't bother to wait for him to speak, and shouted to the two guards: "Go and open the city gate, otherwise I will chop your generals into pieces."

Her voice was low and hoarse, the voice of an adult woman, definitely not the baby voice that a child should have. After the appearance, the two soldiers were startled by her voice again.

Sarah grabbed Zhang Rong's leather crown, so that his head could only be thrown back, and he almost fell backwards because of his unsteady standing.

"Why don't you go soon?!"

The soldiers did not dare to move, they asked tremblingly: "General, general..."

Sarah's nails suddenly grew long and touched Zhang Rong's neck. She threatened, "Do you not understand me?"

Zhang Rong, who had never experienced a war and had experienced life and death moments, was so frightened that his face lost all color immediately after his face turned red.

He didn't know who or what the girl sitting on his shoulder was, but he knew clearly that his life was in the hands of the other party.

The pain from his neck made him dare not act rashly, and he asked cautiously, "Are you... Jun... from outside?"

Sarah: "Your majesty blows the wind outside, and you drink inside. Is that why you are so loyal and patriotic?"

Zhang Rong didn't dare to say nonsense that the people outside were thugs pretending to be Marquis Chen, so he stood there straight, unable to move.

Sarah's last patience was also exhausted: "Don't tell me, right?"

Sarah grabbed his leather crown and pulled it back. Zhang Rong screamed and fell backwards. Sarah lightly jumped to the ground behind him. hair.

The hair and scalp were ripped off by Sarah.

She threw the leather crown and scalp back into the hall.

The guests in the hall were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, but Sarah was at the door, so they didn't escape from the door, they could only shrink to the corner, and no one even rushed to the leather crown to take a look.

"Monster, it must be a monster!"

"It must be a wild elf!"

Ke Qing was so frightened that he pushed and huddled together.

On the ground, Zhang Rong screamed in pain, bleeding profusely from the top of his head. Sarah couldn't bear it anymore. She reached out and touched the top of Zhang Rong's head, then put her fingers to her lips, and in front of the two guards Sucking blood from fingertips.

After Sarah was addicted, she took out a few painkillers from her pocket and stuffed them into the mouth of Zhang Rong who was crying.

As for the wound on the scalp...

Sarah sighed: "If it weren't for keeping you..."

She can have a good meal!

Human blood is always better than the blood of other animals.

Sarah took out the hemostatic powder again and sprinkled it on Zhang Rong's head casually. As for whether the bleeding was completely stopped, she didn't care.

It took a while for the medicine to start working.

Zhang Rong turned over, lying on the ground, looking up and looking down at Sarah.

He finally saw Sarah's face clearly, pale skin, bright red pupils, blood-stained fingertips, long and sharp nails, all of which showed that she was not human.

Sarah raised her eyebrows at him: "Go and order."

Zhang Rong didn't want to die, he still wanted to enjoy life, he shouted hoarsely: "Open the city gate, open the city gate!"

The two soldiers didn't even want to save their general, so they ran out like shit.

Sara squatted beside Zhang Rong. She patted Zhang Rong's head. Her hands were stained with a mixture of blood and medicinal powder. She wiped Zhang Rong's body in distaste. City, I don’t care about you.”

Zhang Rong was panting, but didn't dare to speak, who knew if this female monster would attack him at the slightest disagreement?

Sarah was a little curious: "Do you want to be a king yourself?"

Zhang Rong was taken aback. He wanted some benefits, but he never wanted to be the king himself. He denied it: "I, I acted absurdly before, but I really didn't intend to usurp the position of the king, not to mention , if I really usurped it, other countries would have a reason to attack Chen."

Although the Warring States Period was full of wars, each country claimed to be a righteous army, and there was always a reason to send troops to attack other countries.

If the courtiers are in disorder, all countries have a reason to send troops.

Do you only dare to support the new king without looking at the leftists?

It is precisely because no one wants to be the king of subjugation as soon as he ascends the throne.

What's more, as long as you hold power, even if you don't have a crown on your head, it's tantamount to wearing it.

Sarah said disgustedly: "It's worthless, so you mess around, just change the owner, where is it not to be a dog?"

Being humiliated like this, Zhang Rong didn't dare to refute, and only dared to say: "Yes, yes, your majesty is right."

Sarah frowned: "Your Majesty? That's ugly, and I'm not a bandit."

She remembered the bandits in the Liang Dynasty, that's what the little guy called the bandit leader.

Zhang Rong didn't dare to speak anymore. Sarah sat on the threshold. She looked back and saw the guests in the hall crowded together like quails: "Is that the bad idea you gave him? None of them went out, wait Your lord has returned, tell him to deal with you."

Sarah yawned, and she leaned against the door frame: "Wait slowly."

·

"Sarah has been in for almost an hour." Ye Zhou was a little worried, and he asked Zou Ming, "Is anything wrong with her?"

Zou Ming: "She is not a human being, she can recover very quickly, as long as she doesn't kill all the people here, no one should be able to hurt her."

Ye Zhou was still a little worried. After all, Sarah was not under his nose, and he would easily feel uneasy if he didn't know what happened.

Chen Hou heard their conversation, leaned over and asked cautiously: "Immortal, what is the origin of that girl? Isn't she a human?"

Ye Zhou: "She's a spirit, she won't hurt anyone in a leisurely way."

Chen Hou said in surprise: "There are really ghosts in the world."

"I used to hear ghost stories often, but this is the first time I've seen them." Chen Hou felt a little ashamed, "It's because I'm short-sighted."

Ye Zhou: "..."

You're not alone, I haven't seen a vampire before either.

As soon as their words fell, there was a sound from the city gate. Dozens of people pushed the door together, and then pushed the city gate a crack.

Chen Yan immediately led a team to help tweet.

After working hard for more than ten minutes, the city gate was fully opened.

Chen Hou let out a sigh of relief: "I'm finally back."

He said to Ye Zhou: "Immortal, the soldiers have traveled a long distance, so why don't you rest here tonight?"

Ye Zhou was a little strange: "They won't let you into the city, are you afraid that they will harm you at night?"

Chen Hou said with a smile: "I have two thousand soldiers, but here are only more than 1000 soldiers. It is not known whether there are any."

"As long as I pass through, he will kill the king if he dares to do it again. Zhang Rong doesn't have the guts to do that."

Ye Zhou: "If he harmed you outside the pass, it's not counted as regicide?"

Chen Hou: "When I'm outside the pass, he can lie that I'm a bandit, a bandit, and a savage. Once I enter the pass, he can't hide it."

Ye Zhou really didn't know the difference between the two.

If it was him, the first thing he did when he entered the city was to kill the general guarding the gate who dared to oppose him, and pick a soldier who had a grudge against him to be promoted first to stabilize the situation, and then rushed to a village some way away from here rest.

However, Chen Hou was a local and a monarch after all, and Ye Zhou had enough force on his side, so there was no arrangement to oppose him.

Chen Yan rode over, and he clasped his fists at Chen Hou and Ye Zhou respectively: "Your Majesty, Immortal, let's enter the pass!"

He gritted his teeth and said: "When I see Zhang Rong, I will definitely chop him up! If you dare to harm Your Majesty, you will slaughter him all over the house!"

Chen Yan waved his hand: "No, Zhang Rong is not very courageous. Someone must have ordered me to stop me from entering the customs. This person must be in an important position. I am afraid that he has already controlled Linzi. Don't startle the snake."

"Before I return to Linzi, the news of my return cannot be leaked out."

In modern times, with such a big commotion after entering the customs, the news will be available in the next second, but in this place where the roads are not smooth, it is not easy to convey a message in time.

Chen Yan suppressed his anger, but still couldn't hide his anger: "No!"

Chen Hou cupped his hands at Ye Zhou: "Immortal please."

Ye Zhou was not too polite, he took the lead and rode his horse into the city gate first.

Zou Ming followed closely behind him, and the two almost drove into the city gate at the same time.

As soon as he entered, Ye Zhou was shocked by the scene in front of him.

He thought that no matter how bad this place was, it would not be worse than Daliang Dynasty. After all, when he was in Daliang Dynasty, Daliang Dynasty was in a time of famine, and the bandits all lived in caves.

But looking at the road full of yellow sand, and looking at the mud houses full of holes on both sides of the road, Ye Zhou only felt that if the house was more dilapidated, this place would not be much different from the primitive society he imagined.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath. He could only comfort himself. The border is like this. After all, there are no residents or merchants, and they are all soldiers. It is unlikely to engage in construction. Maybe Linzi still looks like a royal city.

"Changxiong Pass is the first pass in my country of Chen, what do the immortals think?" Chen Hou asked after catching up, he was quite proud.

Ye Zhou was silent for a moment: "Simple and natural, very good."

Chen Hou laughed and said, "That's the mansion of the general who guards the gate. We'll settle there tonight for repairs."

Ye Zhou looked in the direction Chen Hou was pointing at, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, it was a wooden house with tiles, so there shouldn't be any wind leakage in the middle of the night.

Still, he thought it might be better to pitch a tent at night.

The soldiers followed them into the customs. Chen Yan didn't dare to let them enter the barracks directly. Chen Yan was wary of everyone here. Looking at the soldiers in the barracks, they didn't seem to be looking at their comrades, but rather at the enemy. .

Han Ran and Chen Yan guarded Chen Hou from left to right, guarding against a hidden arrow coming from somewhere.

The soldiers guarding the border also saw them, but none of them dared to step forward or ask more questions.

Except for Zhang Rong, no one here has ever seen Chen Hou, and they don't know what Chen Hou looks like, but Zhang Rong asked them to open the door, and they could only watch the nearly 2000 people enter the customs without knowing anything. .

A border soldier whispered to his companions: "I see that they are wearing the uniforms of my Chen country. They are handsome, and they don't look like Chen people."

Chen Guoqiong, the common people don’t have enough to eat, and ordinary soldiers are not much better. It’s not easy for middle-aged men to gain weight, and they can’t eat much meat. They have to exercise every day. After a long time, they look like skin and bones.

But passing by before their eyes, these soldiers dressed in Chen Guo's uniforms were all physically strong, and even if they were wearing clothes, they could see the bulging tendons under the clothes.

Such soldiers are a force not to be underestimated in any country.

"It should be from Chen, right? If it's a soldier from another country, let alone enter the pass, just before the pass, it will be a war. The general will never give such an order."

"Wait, I seem to see Gong Ziyan!"

"General Gongzi Yan? Isn't he already killed? He is with the king."

"It must be Gong Ziyan! I used to be a soldier under his account, how could I not recognize him?!"

"If it's really General Gongzi Yan, then the person next to him...is..."

The soldiers dared not answer.

They all knew that once they answered the call, the person they stopped outside the pass was not an ordinary Chen businessman, but the king of a country.

If they liquidate afterward, each of them will lose their heads.

"General Zhang...made me wait..." The soldier squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

·

Ye Zhou stopped at the entrance of the mansion. After he dismounted, he turned and asked Chen Hou who had just dismounted, "How do you deal with the general guarding the gate here?"

Chen Hou: "You can't touch him at this time, if you really want to touch him, you have to execute him in front of Gongzu Shiqing."

Ye Zhou nodded.

He was worried that Chen Hou was a soft persimmon before, but he still knew it very well.

However, they should encounter many obstacles on the way to Linzi.

It is estimated that his employees can practice marksmanship well, and it is time for actual combat.
