At that time, Cen Pojing was teaching Xin Que the trick of "flowing backwards in the river", the sword cut backwards, turned around, and cut down.

The hand stopped, the knife stopped.

After a moment of silence, Xin Que suddenly yelled: "Brother, you are back!" He rushed over with a big knife and hugged Chi Heng's thigh, his dirty face was both surprised and happy, and he wanted to cry while hugging crying.

"Go aside." Cen Pojing lifted Xin Que's collar and threw it aside, his eyes turned red instantly: "Are you dead or alive?"

After all, he punched Chi Heng on the back fiercely, hard and accurately, Chi Heng was beaten so hard that his liver and gallbladder were about to come out, he bent down and coughed fiercely while laughing: "Live alive, Take it easy."

"Brothers are going crazy looking for you." Cen Pojing punched him a few more times while talking.

Xin Que got up quickly and knocked Cen Pojing away: "Don't hit my elder brother. Liar, you still lied to me that elder brother is not coming back, big liar, I don't want your coach knife anymore, go away!"

"This white-eyed wolf cub, it's for nothing!"

Holding his aching heart, Chi Heng listened to Xin Que and Cen Pojing arguing, happy.

Afterwards, seeing Liang Qianlie and Zuo Zhao again, he was naturally surprised and delighted and almost suspected it was a dream.Everyone I saw that day was ecstatic, even the black horse raised its hooves and snorted when it saw Chi Heng, as if it was about to break free from the rein.

Not to mention everyone's surprise and joy, after a burst of excitement, Chi Heng quickly settled down.

Not to mention others, Xin Que was the happiest. He was so happy that he circled around Chi Heng without stopping, like a spinning top.Cen Pojing couldn't even drag him away, he said with a smile: "Little Po boy, you've practiced your sword, let me show you, what moves do you know?"

Xin Que happily took the knife and practiced in the yard.

Chi Heng was taken aback when he swung the saber, not to mention that the saber style and technique were surprisingly proficient, but the aura of the saber was also extremely astonishing.If it weren't for his short stature, he would definitely be a peerless knife. He could practice it in one breath, and his face would not turn red.

"Genius genius, right? He is only twelve, and no matter how long he is, he will definitely surpass you and me." Cen Pojing clasped his hands and commented. It’s no different. It’s fine in your and my hands, but in someone else’s hands, it’s a big weapon.”

Chi Heng smiled: "I'm afraid I'm following Xiao Lian, so I'm so naive." It's just self-consolation, and he also knows that Xin Que is really careless, besides eating, he just plays, and now he adds one more thing: practicing swordsmanship.With simplicity, focus, and talent, it's no wonder he's making rapid progress.

"Yesterday, I sparred with him. Guess what. Don't look at him as a fool. He doesn't need to be taught how to use a knife. He only picks on my weaknesses and almost fails to parry. He has no sense of proportion." , did not dare to let him fight with others, for fear that he would not know the severity and hurt his own people."

Chi Heng thought about it for a while: "We have to keep a close eye on Shuan, or we'll be another troublemaker." In any case, he was quite happy in his heart.

After Xin Que finished playing, he ran forward to ask for credit, happily asking, "Brother, how is my knife?"

"Okay! Just catch up with big brother!"

Chi Heng praised him severely, and told him to practice hard with Cen Pojing, and then practice horse riding after training.Xin Que was so happy that his teeth almost lost his teeth, and he nodded vigorously: "Brother Po said that only after he has practiced the saber can he keep following elder brother. Is my saber okay?"

"Well, keep practicing, and practice like this for another year!"

In autumn, the clouds are light and the sky is high.Being pestered by elder brother Xin Que, Zhong Xu was annoyed, so he said that he was going to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and dragged Chi Heng away.It was getting dusk, and all the stalls and vendors had dispersed. There was an old man with white hair, who placed a basket full of blooming chrysanthemums, light yellow, raw white, light purple, and melting yellow. Put together, the flowers were big. Curly again, very nice.

Chi Heng's heart moved, and he bought five big branches: "It will look good on the case, I think Lang put them in the lotus..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhong Xu had already left in a huff.

Feeling aphasia, Chi Heng hurried to catch up to hold his hand, and said angrily: "Xuzi, Zhong Xu, don't go, don't you often have to dig out some old lawsuits for review? There are flowers beside you, Not more..."

"It has nothing to do with flowers at all, okay?" Zhong Xu said angrily.

Of course he understood why he was angry, regardless of the people around him, Chi Heng hugged Zhong Xu to coax him: "I won't mention him in the future, I was wrong, go into the shop and pick out a good pen for you, okay?"

The shop was about to close, Zhong Xu picked one out very unhappy, and threw the broken silver on the counter away, Chi Heng hurriedly chased it out, the shop owner murmured: "You have a big temper, who can take care of you? Hey, that customer, what do you want to buy, the newly arrived high-quality Ningzhou Zicui Inkstone, the ink is quick to issue, and the texture is greasy, would you like to take a look at it?"

The guests at the door passed by Chi Heng, the man was wearing a straw hat with his head lowered, covering his face.

39. If you love, love hard

【39】

Fifteen moons are sixteen round.

Chi Heng coaxed Zhong Xu not to be angry, and the two of them sat by the Yi River, the water in the river was clear and cool in August.Chi Heng went into the water first, bent down and took off Zhong Xu's shoes, and stepped into the water, Chi Heng scratched the soles of Zhong Xu's feet.

Zhong Shu's feet trembled.

Chi Heng held his ankle with one hand, and continued to scratch with his fingers.One itchy pulse, one numb pulse, itching and numbness intertwined from the soles of the feet to the abdomen, Zhong Xu kicked his feet: "Go, go, stop making trouble."

Chi Heng didn't let go of his hand, persistently scratching lightly.

Zhong Xu's feet were very itchy soon, and he couldn't hold back anymore, he snorted and laughed, fell on the white stone and kicked his feet wildly: "Okay, let go, you want to tickle me to death."

After scratching Zhong Xu so much that he laughed and begged for mercy, Chi Heng let go of his hand.

Chi Heng took the opportunity to lie on Zhong Xu's body, his legs intertwined, and he strangled his long hair: "The king of Yuanzhou fled to Bingzhou, what are the captain's plans?"

"It was supposed to be merged with Yuanzhou Yan Wangjun, but something happened in Yuanzhou and we put it on hold for the time being. The merger will be discussed in September. By the way, there is another big event, I'm afraid you don't know it, I will only talk to you. "

"what's up?"

"I'm going to a place tomorrow, guess where it is?"

Zhong Xu was in a good mood, and when he rolled his eyes, he was very attractive.Chi Heng stroked his hair to his face, kissed him lightly, and shook his head with a smile.

"Yishan, Huo Chi."

Chi Heng was startled: "What are you doing there? It's not your turn to suppress the bandits!"

"Why do you have to suppress the bandits? I'm recruiting!" Zhong Xu sneered. I went to discuss it in detail. At noon, Liang Qianlie asked you to go with me."

Chi Heng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood An Cuo's last sentence.

"Although we are the army of the dynasty, Liang Qianlie is restrained everywhere. He can't even allocate the military salary, and he can't pay exorbitant taxes. So Zuo Zhao came up with a way to fight with others. As for why Huo Chi, Zuo Zhao said that he can become famous , can also assess the situation.”

Is that okay?

"Why not? The world is in such chaos today. Everyone wants a piece of the pie, and whoever is strong will take the lead. Huo Chi is not willing to be a small hilltop king. What he wants is not the title of the army of the dynasty, but, Benefits gained after Lianheng."

"What benefit?"

Zhong Xu blinked: "Secret."

You also said that it is confidential, but it is not intended to tease people's appetites.

Chi Heng leaned down, and lightly bit Zhong Xu's earlobe. Zhong Xu laughed again, his whole body trembling with laughter, his head tilted slightly, and he stopped suddenly: "Chi Heng, get up, there seems to be someone over there." .”

Following his line of sight, only green trees hang down by the river.

Chi Heng got up, lifted Zhong Xu into his arms and hugged him: "It's up to him to see, what's the matter, I don't want to be separated from you for a moment."

"Forget it, it's weird, let's go back."

When leaving, Zhong Xu looked back frequently, but he never saw the figure that had just flashed by.

In the early morning of the next day, Liang Qianlie ordered Chi Heng to escort Zhong Xu to Yishan to discuss the matter of recruiting security.

When seeing him off, Cen Pojing frowned and said: "Chi Heng, it's so easy to overturn the clouds and rain, so I sent troops to attack, and I haven't done a serious fight yet, turning my head and turning it into Zhao'an, maybe it will be an army in the future, this is so true. Hurry up. Also, don't you take that poor boy Xin Que away? I really can't take it anymore, it's giving me a headache."

Zhong Xu spoke up: "It's not too fast at all. Even the incident started in April and May, but you don't know it."

Xin Que cried and said, "Brother, you don't take me with you."

"Wait someday, when you can ride a horse and practice the beam-style eighteen swords, I'll take you with me. Besides, the elder brother will come back in ten days, uh, fifteen days at most, and bring you the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Yishan It's delicious." Chi Heng rubbed his hair, coaxing and deceiving him, and finally made Xin Que stop following him.

Xin Que was not very happy when he heard the delicious food, he bit his finger and did not speak.

The water at the head of the river is angry, and the wind is blowing on the Longshang.

Chi Heng and Zhong Xu rushed all the way to Yishan.As the prosperity faded away, more and more desolate lands appeared, until the sky was getting late, and the field was shrouded in mist. Looking ahead, there was a manor house with a fence and a gatehouse, which was very simple. Spirit."

Chi Heng stepped forward and saw a cobweb entangled on the gate: "It's locked, no one is there, just wait a moment, I'll see if there are other people."

After all, he pulled the rein and left.

After a lap of horse racing, my heart settled down. The old village is sparsely dotted with several families, so I don't have to worry about staying overnight.Chi Heng patted a family home, and an old man came out.Chi Heng explained the purpose of his visit and handed over the broken silver. The old man happily said: "The poor people have nothing else, they still have a bed, not to mention two people, even seven or eight people can accommodate them."

Chi Heng thanked him, and went back to his horse to tell Zhong Xu.

The wind is getting colder, not far away, but there is no trace of Zhong Xu.The fence gatehouse is still locked, and there are no traces of tampering.

"Clock sequence, clock sequence..." Chi Heng shouted, leading the horse to look around, the weeds around were trampled into a mess, and one could see the traces of horseshoes.He was startled, it was obvious that accidents could happen in the blink of an eye.

Pulling the horse and ran a few steps in a hurry, Zhong Xu's flower gun was planted straight on the ground; lying next to it was a horse, which was already dead, disemboweled and bleeding all over the place.

Miserable.

How is this going?

Chi Heng pulled out his flower gun, feeling uneasy. What kind of accidents can happen to ordinary villages?Chi Heng ran a few more steps along the road, and saw another spear stuck on the ground, the spear's tassel was covered with blood that had already solidified, mottled and mottled, very desolate.Seeing this spear, Chi Heng felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly understood.

This spear is the spear of the left guard.

Captain Wu?Was it Captain Wu who did it?Did he not follow Yuanzhou King?Has he been in Yizhou?Be with yourself all the time?Was he the one who took Zhong Xu away?

Long tassel hunting, telling all this silently.

Chi Heng yelled loudly to the surroundings: "Zhong Xu, Zhong Xu, Zhong Xu... Wu Duwei, a bastard, come out, if you have the guts, come out and fight with me, you can't even hold a weapon, what kind of skill is a yin man, Get out!"

The old bird fluttered away in shock.

But no one can be seen, and no echo can be heard.

Pulling out the bloody spear, the mournful scolding voice of Lieutenant Wu Du once again echoed in his mind that day, the pain and hatred that almost vomited out his heart and liver, and those who heard it were terrified.Thinking of cutting Zuo Hujun into two with a single knife, and then thinking of Zhong Xu falling into this man's hands, I'm afraid it's more or less a disaster.

Chi Heng got up suddenly, flew on the horse, pulled away the rein, and shouted frantically, looking for it, more and more anxious, with sweaty palms.

In just a short while, the whole village was searched. When passing by that house, the old man waved to him: "Are you looking for a man on horseback? Just now, old man, I saw a man in black holding a man in white. ran over there."

"Where? Where did you run?"

Over there, there is a barren mountain covered with wild vines, the mountain is dim, and the vegetation is desolate. If you look closely, you can see the chaotic marks of horseshoes.A wave of hope rose in Chi Heng, and he rode on the horse.Passing through the fallen leaves all over the mountain, you can hear lonely birds singing at night, but there is no trace of people alone.

Throughout the night, Chi Heng was like a headless fly, looking for and shouting in the dark mountains, until dawn, his voice was completely hoarse.The horse was also exhausted, pawing at the dry grass with its hooves, and staggered forward.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was as bright as a blood-red morning glow like Chi Heng's heart. Chi Heng got off his horse, holding his head, not knowing what to do.

How does the huge mountain know where Captain Wu has taken Zhong Xu?

Chi Heng put the knife on the ground, his face was reflected in the river, full of emaciation.His heart was twisted like a knife, it was the first time in his life that he was so terrified, so helpless, and hated his own helplessness so much, facing the river, Chi Heng almost burst into tears: "Zhong Xu, you must be fine."

Swah——

Chi Heng instinctively raised the knife to block it, and with a bang, an arrow hit the knife and landed crisply. There was a piece of bloody cloth on the arrow, and a black shadow flashed in the distance, and it left quickly.

Quickly picked up the blood cloth and spread it out, and wrote three words in blood: Guan Gong Temple.

The ashes-like heart suddenly came to life, the black shadow had long since disappeared, and Chi Heng's horse couldn't run no matter how hard he whipped it.When we found the Guan Gong Temple, the sun was shining everywhere.The temple of Guan Gong has been deserted for a long time, covered with dust and cobwebs, the statue of Guan Gong has long been dilapidated, the painted paint has fallen off, and there are three sticks of incense sticking on the incense burner.

There is nothing in the temple.

There is a big tree on one side of the temple, and there seems to be something wrong with the tree.

Chi Heng ran out, looked up, his eyes darkened, and his heart felt as if he had been stabbed severely.Zhong Xu was tied to a tree by Wuhua Da, with a cloth strip stuffed into his mouth, and the cloth strip was entangled with a rope and tied to a tree. A thick rope was wrapped around his neck, and he hung from the tree with his eyes closed.

"Clock sequence..." Chi Heng squeezed out a sentence from his throat.

The dying Zhong Xu heard the shout, opened his eyes, and burst out with light.

God, it's good that Zhong Xu is still alive, Chi Heng was overjoyed, and ran forward and shouted loudly: "Zhong Xu...don't move...you wait for me..."

"Stop!" A loud yell stopped him.

Turned out a person, cold, eyes like a poisonous snake, it was Wu Duwei who had confronted Chi Heng twice.Lieutenant Wudu held the spear in one hand, and pulled the rope in the other, and pulled it down. Zhong Xu's neck was tied tightly. With this pull, he couldn't help but leaned up. The pain was as painful as suffocation, and he frowned in pain. .

"Take another step, and he'll die." Captain Wu pulled back the rope again, Zhong Xu's head and neck were about to be separated immediately, and he was in agony.

Chi Heng hurriedly stopped: "What do you want to do?"

Captain Wu sneered: "Hmph, heaven has eyes, you are destined to die by my hands. I want you to taste the pain I suffered that day, and I want you to know what is more painful than death."

Nothing is more painful than death than seeing Zhong Xu being tortured like this.

"Stop!" A loud yell stopped him.

Turned out a person, cold, eyes like a poisonous snake, it was Wu Duwei who had confronted Chi Heng twice.Lieutenant Wudu held the spear in one hand, and pulled the rope in the other, and pulled it down. Zhong Xu's neck was tied tightly. With this pull, he couldn't help but leaned up. The pain was as painful as suffocation, and he frowned in pain. .

"Take another step, and he'll die." Captain Wu pulled back the rope again, Zhong Xu's head and neck were about to be separated immediately, and he was in agony.

Chi Heng hurriedly stopped and looked at him angrily: "What do you want to do?"

Captain Wu sneered: "Hmph, God has eyes, you are destined to die by my hands. I want you to taste the pain I suffered that day. I want you to know what is more painful than death, like This is how it is now, hahahaha." He raised his head and laughed wildly, laughing more desolately than crying.

Nothing is more painful than death than seeing Zhong Xu being tortured like this.

Chi Heng clenched his sword tightly: "One person does things and the other person is in charge. If you have the ability to charge me, you let him go!"

His eyes were filled with hatred and bloodshot eyes, and Captain Wu smiled coldly again, making people chill: "It depends on whether I have the ability to let me go!" After finishing speaking, he tightened the rope again, Zhong Xu raised his head high, his eyes widened. It has been completely closed, and if this torture continues, he must die.

"What do you want, tell me!"

Captain Wu turned the spear in his hand, and his eyes shot a light darker than the night: "You killed my brother, and it is not enough to cut you into pieces. I want you to die in my hands, chop into meat sauce, and come out!" knife."

Chi Heng was overjoyed, as long as he didn't threaten Zhong Xu, he could easily say, "He has nothing to do with us, let him go."

"You step back a hundred steps, if you are a little sloppy, he will die!"

Chi Heng stepped back as he said.He was holding a knife, the farther he retreated, the more he couldn't get close, the more Zhong Xu couldn't be saved - Captain Wu knew all about this.

Chi Heng watched helplessly as Captain Wu wrapped the rein around the tree.And Zhong Xu, with his head held high like this, was dying to hang.Chi Heng was very anxious. He knew that with this kind of torture, ordinary people would never be able to hold on to a cup of tea, and would suffocate to death.

Captain Wu wrapped it up unhurriedly, took the spear, and walked up to Chi Heng, his eyes were like evil: "Use the sword, each according to his ability, life and death accept fate!"

Chi Heng glanced ahead.

Close your eyes.

Huh——The spear cut across the pulse of the neck like a snake, and Chi Heng flew out with a knife.

Spears and knives rubbed out sparks.

Captain Wu's spear also contained hatred.

Picking and stabbing, piercing towards Chi Heng's deadly place like a raging flame, brushing his blood and his clothes repeatedly, red scars were quickly picked out on Chi Heng's body.

His knife also became disorganized.

When the fighting became more and more chaotic, he glanced back at Zhong Xu, the white clothes were blowing up with the wind, as if he was about to leave immediately.

Exhaustion and anxiety melted into a scorching fire in the instant of the flying knife, burning his eyes and heart.The desolate temple, the depressing autumn wind, his knife cuts forward like the ruthless autumn, and every knife is ruthless, fierce, and sharp.Every time I look at the clock sequence, boundless courage is ignited in my heart, and the raging flames are turned out in an instant, letting the knife in my hand cut off every sharp weapon blocking the front like a soul devourer.

Thousands of feet down, the potential can lift up the sky.

Dang—Wu Duwei's spear was chopped off to the ground.

Chi Heng was overjoyed and quickly chased forward, while Wu Duwei hurriedly retreated.Without a weapon, he ran even faster, flew on his horse, and shouted: "Everyone depends on their ability, life and death accept their fate, and the king of Hades must accept his fate!"

Chi Heng chased after him for two steps, but seeing that he couldn't catch up, he quickly turned around and ran over.

He cut off the rope that Captain Wu had just tied to the tree trunk with a knife, and the rope was scattered on the ground.But the rope around Zhong Xu's neck was still tight, hanging high, his face was completely pale, seeing that he was only breathing out but not in, his eyes were rolled, but he blinked twice desperately, wanting to shake his head , but was tied up and couldn't move.

Chi Heng was in a hurry.

Hugging Zhong Xu's waist, he threw a flying knife up, and the rope hanging around his neck broke. Zhong Xu's body suddenly slumped, and he lowered his head. He looked at Chi Heng, and closed his eyes weakly, as if he was about to fall. Like tears.

"Zhong Xu, hold on!" Chi Heng eagerly cut the ropes around his mouth and body.

With a sigh, blood overflowed from Zhong Xu's mouth.

Chi Heng held Zhong Xu's face with his right hand in disbelief, how could it be like this, he cut off the rope, why would he suddenly vomit blood instead?The gurgling blood flowed across his lips, drop by drop, Chi Heng was stunned, he was at a loss holding Zhong Xu.

In the front, on the tree against which Clock Sequence was backed just now, there is a round hole in the middle that has been opened. On the other side of the hole is a bow, a bow that is fixed, a bow with a broken rope, and a bow that just shot an arrow. bow, feeble swing.

On Zhong Xu's back, there was a sharp arrow pierced.

From the back, through the chest.

In an instant, like five thunders, the reckless knife just cut off the hanging rope, and even tightened the bow and arrow rope - just like this, he fell into the trap of Captain Wu.It was him who stabbed the bow and arrow into Zhong Xu's chest.You shouldn't cut the rope first, you shouldn't be overjoyed, you shouldn't believe anything the enemy says...

"how so……"

The previous moment was still ecstasy, but this moment is full of regret and grief, Chi Heng held the bleeding clock, his eyes were dry and cracked.

Zhong Xu opened his eyes exhaustedly, his pale lips parted, he didn't even have the strength to cum, his chest was stained red with blood.Chi Heng covered Zhong Xu's heart in panic, but warm blood gushed out, seeping through his fingers and covering the entire back of his hand.

"Zhong Xu, hold on, I will save you, if you can, hold on."

Chi Heng stood where he was, not knowing where to turn in panic.

"No... Chi Heng." Zhong Xu's voice was weak, and he held his hand, "It's useless..."

Chi Heng kissed the blood at the corner of Zhong Xu's mouth in a panic, hoping that it wouldn't flow again after it was cleansed. The blood gurgled continuously on his back, chest, and mouth, and the blood stained all the whites.The sky and the earth were dark, and there was boundless remorse, Chi Heng hugged him: "You can, Zhong Xu, don't talk."

Zhong Xu exhausted all his strength, held his arm, shook his head and said, "No, there's no time."

Chi Heng's tears fell heavily on Zhong Xu's face: "Why am I so stupid."

"No, it's not you. It's useless, I've seen it, impermanence is there...but I'm not willing to..." Zhong Xu shouted, the blood in his chest spurted out because of his anger, and flowed all over Chi Heng's fingers Between the cracks, it can't be stopped.

Chi Heng's tears fell: "Stop talking, Zhong Xu, it will be fine."

Zhong Xu trembled all over, full of anger and unwillingness, his black and white eyes were shining blood red, he held Chi Heng tightly, and his voice suddenly increased: "Chi Heng, I want to be with you, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled, I am I'm not reconciled..."

Blood spurted out in the wind, Zhong Xu's head was thrown back, and his long hair was blown away by the wind.

Let go of your hands.

Life came to an abrupt end.

The last light fell into darkness.

what--

A heart-piercing cry of pain came from the barren mountain, and that sound echoed for a long time, startling the birds and animals all over the mountain.The night is surrounded by desolation, without a trace of bright color, cold through thousands of mountains.

Startled geese avoid, fallen leaves fly high.

September.The weather in Bingzhou City is warm and humid, the leaves on the roadside are still green, and the people passing by are wearing thin single clothes.Chi Heng leaned against the lattice window, looking ahead, the family of the King of Stonezhou was traveling, shouting and embracing, with a great momentum.

Half a month has passed, and every time I wake up, I can see Zhong Xu closing his eyes unwillingly.Once you wake up, you can't go back to sleep.

Chi Heng wanted to kill Captain Wu.

Or be killed by him.

Only in this way can the continuous hatred be completely cut off.Zuo Zhao said: Lieutenant Wudu will definitely return to the old master Yuanzhou King. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Soon King Yan’s army will go to Bingzhou, and he must confront the Yuanzhou King. Night.But Chi Heng couldn't do it, he couldn't wait, and if he didn't kill him, he couldn't sleep peacefully.He couldn't listen to anyone's advice and came alone.

Chi Heng enjoyed the countless ups and downs along the way.

Because the more painful and difficult it is, the regret and pain in his heart will disappear.

He hadn't seen Captain Wu since that day, but he firmly believed that, wherever there was King Yuanzhou, Captain Wu would definitely appear, because the hatred in that person's heart had also not disappeared, and he would not let it go.

Therefore, Chi Heng lives in this restaurant, which is facing the Stone State Palace.

For several days in a row, he stared at it without blinking, but he didn't see the king of Stonezhou, nor the king of Yuanzhou.Chi Heng thought maybe he stayed in the wrong place, the king of Yuanzhou was so cunning, how could he live in the home of the king of Bingzhou.He was not afraid of waiting, but hatred kept burning his heart and tormenting his eyes.

Chi Heng went downstairs, carrying only a dagger with him, like ordinary people, with his head down, walking on the streets of Stonezhou City.A funeral procession passed by, and white paper money floated everywhere. The mourners walked very slowly, as if chewing on the past of the deceased.After reminiscing about this journey, when tomorrow dawns, time will slowly swallow the pain, leaving behind a scar that no longer hurts even after being poked.

The sky is full of white, sprinkled on Chi Heng's body.

He stopped where he was.

After the crowd passed by for a long time, when the sky turned from bright to dark, it started to rain, and after a while, a layer of rainwater accumulated on the ground, submerging the shoe uppers. He walked slowly, regardless of the splashing raindrops getting wet The cloth shoes are cool, and the sleeves are full of cold wind.

A gorgeous red lantern was hung on the high eaves, and the sound of the flute was melodious. Beside the lantern, a bustard with heavy make-up was holding a handkerchief and waving: "Brother, it's raining heavily, come in and have a seat... Oh, some senior officials , hurry up, please. Don’t go, why are you in such a hurry to go when it’s still bright, all the girls here are the most beautiful, ouch, don’t go..."

Chi Heng raised his head, his vision was wet by the rain.

In front, the few people who were entangled by the bustard were gorgeously dressed, and under the umbrella in the middle, they had fair faces. They were the king of Yuanzhou.

Chi Heng restrained his frenzied heart, wiped the rain off his face, and quietly walked aside.His eyes swept over the faces under each umbrella, Yudu, Lai Nian...without Captain Wu, his heart gradually stabilized.

The king of Yuanzhou did not enter the Chunfeng Building.

After walking quickly, they entered a long alley.There are ordinary houses on both sides of the alley, with blue brick and white walls, bright red poinsettias and bougainvilleas blooming wantonly on the walls, scattered by the rain, and the wind blows, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

Not knowing which house they entered, Chi Heng fumbled to hear it.

There are cocks crowing, dogs barking, the sound of spinning cotton looms, and the crying of children.Only one is very quiet, the door is closed from the inside, and there is no light.

That night, it rained all night, and Chi Heng stood all night.

At the beginning of the rain after the rain, the dawn is first burning, and the poinsettia on the white wall is as delicate and beautiful as the fire.The cock crowed, the dog barked again, the children giggled, the sound of the ancient well drawing water was hoarse, and the earth seemed to come alive.A girl who got up early to sell chrysanthemums walked up to Chi Heng and said with a smile, "Brother, let's buy a flower."

The flowers are dripping with clear water.

Chi Heng picked out a white one and pinned it to the buttonhole of the skirt.

The door opened with a creak, and three or four people came out one after another, still gorgeous, and the king of Yuanzhou in the middle was still elegant.The last man pulled out a horse, unkempt and gloomy - it was Captain Wu whom Chi Heng had been looking for.

Chi Heng stepped forward.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly surrounded the king of Yuanzhou.

As if no one was there, Chi Heng walked straight towards Captain Wu, staring at him motionlessly as if his eyes were dead.

Lieutenant Wu Du was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, the more he laughed, the more he laughed, the more he wanted, and finally he almost laughed bitterly: "Sure enough, you can find them all here, how is it, watching him die in front of you, what is it like, is it better than yourself?" Dead and..."

A cold light flashed.

Wu Duwei's words were cut off in the middle, blood splattered everywhere, a red line was drawn around his neck, and the lifeline was drawn silently, he fell down suddenly, and when he fell, there was still a stern smile on the corner of his mouth.Until his death, his eyes were wide open, and his spirit gradually faded away.

"Life and death, I'll give it back to you." Chi Heng held the dagger in his hand, his eyes expressionless.

In an instant, the head fell to the ground.

After a moment of panic, the generals of King Yuanzhou quickly surrounded him.

Chi Heng's dagger is not long, surrounded by a group of sharp weapons, he can almost catch it without a fight.Chi Heng raised his head and looked at King Yuanzhou without fear.Facing the glare of the sun, the short hair is disheveled, like a tree that is more green after the wind and rain.

In the blink of an eye, he killed one of his generals, and the king of Yuanzhou was startled. After seeing that it was Chi Heng, he said, "Bold! Kill!"

A gun stabbed like lightning, Chi Heng flashed, followed by several arrow feathers, like dense rain.Chi Heng brandished the dagger, resisting the first wave of killing intent.He was weak and had no weapons, so he was soon cornered.

Chi Heng leaned against the white wall and resisted instinctively, the sun was shining brightly, he thought, the last sunrise he saw was so wonderful.

"Ah! Come!" Yuanzhou King's urgent voice sounded from behind.

Chi Heng looked over there and was shocked.

It's Qu Yang.

Qu Yang, who was dressed in black, bit his thin lips, his eyes were stern, as black as obsidian, cold and ruthless.Holding a scimitar in his hand, the scimitar was bleeding, and a guard was already lying in a pool of blood.

When the generals saw Qu Yang, they were all shocked, as if they had seen a ghost, they had no time to besiege Chi Heng, they put away their weapons and turned around to protect the king of Yuanzhou.

"It's you." Yuanzhou Wang looked pale as if he was facing an enemy.

"It's me. Take your dog's life." Qu Yang smiled coldly, without looking at Chi Heng's side, he swung his scimitar and slashed at the general Lai Bian, with the light of the knife like snow, he cut off countless strands of hair in an instant.The king of Yuanzhou retreated in a hurry, and the generals surrounded him.

No matter how powerful Qu Yang was, he was only one person. Chi Heng's blood rushed to his heart, and he swung the dagger, but found that he didn't put any effort into it.

And one of the generals had swung his knife towards Qu Yang's back.

Chi Heng panicked, and drew a long arc with the dagger.

The general who swung the knife fell to the ground.

Chi Heng flew over, no matter what was at his feet, whether it was a stone, a flowerpot, or a bamboo pole, he kicked it over, and the chaotic battle became even more chaotic.They completely ignored Chi Heng, and only focused on attacking Qu Yang.

Chi Heng was in a hurry, with bare hands, suddenly saw the horse led by Wu Duwei next to him, thought about it, and turned over.

The horse refused to go, he gritted his teeth hard and punched the horse's back.

The horse roared to the sky and galloped out.

Chi Heng rushed over with a long whip, Qu Yang's eyes were sharp, he was overwhelmed, but a 'sea fishing' picked up the guard's knife and shouted: "Go on!"

Seeing that the saber drew a streak of blood in the air and fell down, Chi Heng pulled the reins, the big horse leaped forward, like lightning, he stretched out his hand, and firmly caught the saber.

The smooth and seamless cooperation in one go shocked the generals.

With a big knife in hand, Chi Heng kicked the horse's belly, and the horse raised its hooves again as if frightened, and galloped towards Qu Yang.He wields a broadsword with a shocking aura. Everyone has seen the horror of his sword skills, and the generals can't help but dodge.

The big horse galloped into the crowd and went straight to Quyang.

Passing by Qu Yang's side, Chi Heng pulled suddenly, the big horse roared, raised its hooves and circled around Qu Yang quickly, Qu Yang saw the opportunity, pulled the rein and flew onto the horse.Chi Heng swung his saber to the left, and Qu Yang swung his saber to the right. For a while, no one could get close to them.

Seeing that the king of Yuanzhou and the generals were left behind, Chi Heng threw the saber back with all his strength, and the end of the saber stuck straight into the ground.

In the red sun, Pegasus stepped through the woods, the leaves flew backwards, and the dew after the rain hit the faces of the two of them. It was clear and cool, and the air was full of the green smell of green leaves.The frightened horse ran freely, Chi Hengxin let the horse rein, and let it lead into the large forest.

Gradually, more and more trees blocked the way forward, and the horse stopped slowly, and walked to a small stream to drink water.

The two were relatively silent.

Qu Yang dismounted, took out a square towel, and wiped the scimitar clean.

Chi Heng also dismounted, took off the saddle of Ma Jue, and patted the horse's back.The horse raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, and galloped away, rushing towards the dark green forest.

Sitting by the stream, Chi Heng put his hands into the stream and let the water wash away the blood from his hands.The autumn sun shines down, warm and harmonious.Having not slept for many days, Chi Heng felt a wave of fatigue surged up. He hugged his bent legs with both hands, put his head on his knees, and fell into a deep sleep.

The sunshine was so good, like a dream, he saw Zhong Xu walking over in white clothes, his figure was ethereal.

OK, don't leave anymore?

Chi Heng held Zhong Xu's hand, choked up and said, "Zhong Xu, I'm so sorry."

Zhong Xu's eyes were wet, he stroked Chi Heng's face, and said affectionately: "It's not you, don't blame yourself. I'm not reconciled, but this is fate. In this life, my fate ends here..." He His eyes were so unwilling, so melancholy, suppressing boundless regret.

"If you hadn't cut that rope back then, you wouldn't have died."

"It's not you, don't be sad, don't blame yourself so much, I will feel even more uncomfortable. Chi Heng, I always want to be with you, every meeting is too short, but I comfort myself and say: When we both become stronger, it will be fine As a result, even the short possible time together was wasted uselessly." Zhong Xu squatted down, eyes full of regret.

Chi Heng kissed his eyes, nothingness can't be touched.

"Chi Heng, I can't be with you, I'm really not reconciled..." Zhong Xu's voice was dispersed in the wind,
