The monk who is going to cross me is bent

Jiangbei Lihun apricot and Yanguanwai depressing pine, if mixed together, what effect will it have?

In the second month after Mu Beixi sent the dejected pine to Jiangbei Wisteria Village, Xiaochi finally fully understood the medicinal effects of these two flowers and trees, and adjusted the different effects of mixing them according to the amount.

He wrote a letter to Mu Beixi, and a few days later, Mu Beixi came to Jiangbei in person to have a secret talk with him.

After the major event was agreed upon, Mu Beixi returned to the south and started intensive planning. He sent his confidantes to Xiyan Pass to cut down a large number of depressing pines, made them into firewood, and secretly transported them to Jiangbei.

At the same time, Xiaochi took the lead and launched a new type of firewood in Jiangbei's shops - different fragrant pine.When this kind of wood is used to burn fire in the kitchen, the food cooked has a very different taste, and the food will be stained with the fragrance of plants, flowers and pine wood.Such as ordinary rice and rice porridge, if this kind of firewood is used, it can add a lot of color to ordinary food, and it has the effect of turning decay into magic.

For a while, this kind of special firewood became popular in the west of Jiangbei. Even though the price was much more expensive than ordinary firewood, many powerful families still rushed to buy it.

With the help of Mu Beixi's people, Zhuang Yan really didn't know about these secret transactions. Xiaochi concealed them very well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is making money every day.

However, the number of families that can afford it within Zhuang Yan's sphere of influence is limited. Just as the famous households under Zhuanghou's rule in the east heard about this rare thing, in order to catch up with the trend in the west, they all showed their desire to buy exotic pine wood at a high price. will.

After Zhuang Hou received this letter, his subordinates asked: "Master Hou, do you need your subordinates to interrogate those who have colluded with the West in these secrets one by one?"

"No, let that child continue to sell, don't stop any of you." Zhuang Hou said without moving a word: "People on our side want to buy, he wants to make money, and everyone gets what they need. It's Xiaochi who came up with a clever and tricky way." Idea, I have made a lot of money recently, I must be very proud, but I don’t know that greed for small profits will lead to big losses... let him go."

Zhuanghou slid his finger across the map of Jiangbei, "I checked everything. He did this without telling my son. He has already tasted the sweetness of making quick money. If the child reaches the border, he will ask all the nearby soldiers to withdraw. In order to sell more goods, and seeing that the nearby defenses are empty, he will definitely try to go deep, and wait for him to come in bit by bit... huh."

The facts are exactly as Zhuang Hou expected. In the first month, Xiaochi was still very cautious. He just took firewood to test the border, and quickly retreated after completing the transaction. However, more and more people wanted to buy in the east. There were no soldiers of Marquis Zhuang nearby at all, and it was only then that he began to take more risks.

At this time, Zhuanghou hung a bait on the fishhook. He ordered someone to pretend to be a rich businessman and put forward a huge order to Xiaochi.

But he only has one requirement - Xiaochi must enter the Lihun Xinglin with the goods in order to complete the transaction.

The temptation of real money and real silver was too great, Xiaochi still took the bait after thinking about it for two days.

That day, he took ten donkey carts full of fragrant wood and rushed to Lihun Xinglin.

At the end of summer, Lihun apricots are almost decayed and scattered on the ground, but there is still a strong floral fragrance in the air, which is refreshing.

When he saw the guards of Zhuanghou in ambush, he was actually very calm. Ten carts of exotic pine wood were taken away, and he was also taken to Zhuanghou's tent.

After not seeing each other for five years, Xiao Chi obviously felt that Marquis Zhuang had changed.Zhuanghou's aura is still fierce, perhaps because of the blow of his only son's rebellion, there is more precipitation in his brows, he still holds a precious sword, but now it is covered with a scabbard, and has become more sharp and restrained.There are white hairs on his head, and even the inconspicuous wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have become more real now.

He was old and feeble...and would die.

No one is invincible.This was the first thought that flooded into Koike's mind after meeting again, and this cognition reduced his memories of the fear of this man accumulated in the past at this moment.

No one is invincible, let alone after he practiced Xiaoyi's skills...he doesn't need to be afraid of this person.

Only now, he still showed a fearful expression—different from the previous few times, this time he was not sincere, but a flawless disguise.

Zhuanghou's subordinate, Deputy General Wang, personally escorted Xiaochi over, "My lord, I have seized ten carts of exotic pine with this person, what should I do?"

Hearing this question, Zhuang Hou smiled, "Go and check it out. If there is no problem, then send it to the workman's office and use it for cooking at night. Give our soldiers a taste of the rice made from this fragrant wood that is popular in Jiangbei." Porridge, what kind of flavor is it?"

Deputy General Wang took the order to leave, and before leaving, he cast a reluctant glance at Xiaochi before leaving the camp.

"Young people, after all, are greedy for small gains in the immediate future, and can't see the long-term future." Zhuang Hou taught him almost kindly, "Do you think that I really have no garrison in this Lihun Xinglin? Yes, you This business was done without the knowledge of Zhuang Yan, so naturally he has no chance to tell you that I have been stationed in Xinglin all year round, and I have [-] elite halberd soldiers nearby, and [-] infantry soldiers in the distance."

"Your priceless fragrant wood is just enough for our army to eat a few meals. Thank you very much."

Zhuanghou's thank you could arouse Xiaochi's reluctance even more, but he seemed terrified and didn't dare to say anything.

Xiaochi's belongings were also sent to Zhuanghou's camp. Zhuanghou looked through them casually, and said unexpectedly, "I also brought paint brushes? Are you learning to paint?"

Xiaochi is still afraid, but dodges Zhuanghou's eyes, his appearance is still the same as before, he has grown up a few years, but he has not become smarter, probably all the effort was spent on pleasing Zhuang Yan, his body has been developed, but his bearing is not More attractive than before.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Zhuang Hou dispelled the last bit of doubt in his heart. He counted the painting tools that Xiaochi carried with him one by one, "It's quite well prepared... Heh, if that's the case, today I will teach you how to paint. .”

Zhuang Hou spread out the pen and paper in the military tent, with admiration in his eyes, "I wanted to draw you back then, but I never had the chance. Today I can finally hang you in my collection cabinet, which is a wish fulfilled."

The scene in the military tent is limited, Zhuang Hou looked around, and pointed to the military conference table and said, "You lie down on it."

Xiaochi walked over slowly, looking like he was afraid but had to do so. He deliberately climbed onto the map on the table, thinking that Zhuanghou would tell him to get off this precious map, but he didn't expect Zhuanghou to come down from this precious map. On the contrary, she was very satisfied, "...that's not bad, I unbuttoned my clothes myself."

Xiaochi's fingers were trembling, as if he was frightened, but he reluctantly opened the neckline, unwilling to move any more.

But Zhuang Hou didn't tell him to continue taking it off, as if he agreed with his current appearance, he glued on the painting material and started painting.

He was engrossed in painting, and Xiaochi never took the initiative to speak. Instead, Zhuanghou would say a few words to him from time to time, "Don't be afraid, I won't touch you. When I first saw you after the Luo'e kingdom was broken, there was a memory I meant that, but after Zhuang Yan got bonded with you, I won't do that."

After saying this, he pondered for a moment, as if he was considering the depth of color, before he said: "I don't want to touch you, my good boy, and I want to thank you. Without you, Zhuang Yan would not be where he is today."

Koike didn't say a word.

"In fact, everyone is looking at me and my only son, what will happen in the future." Zhuang Hou looked at the painting and looked up at Xiaochi, but it was just for painting, and there was no lustful expression in his expression , "It's no big deal, I will die, he will survive, he will inherit everything I have, and there will still be only one Zhuanghou in Jiangbei."

"Zhuang Yan is a good boy. I tried to make things difficult for him before, but he always finds a new way to solve the problem. The first time he really confronted me was for you."

Zhuanghou's voice was calm, but he slowly revealed a smile, "That was the first time I found my shadow on him, and I felt relieved. Because at that moment, I knew that he would pass on my things." Going on, he has this determination and cruelty, and he is known as benevolent outside, he is destined to be a more qualified monarch than me."

Xiao Chi listened to his words, but for some reason, his heart kept getting cold.

Another hour passed, and Zhuang Hou's painting had become seven or eight points, leaving only a blank brow, which had not yet filled in the charm of the facial features.

At this time, Deputy General Wang delivered the meal in person, "Master Hou, those captured pine logs have been burned for the whole army to cook. I specially tasted the porridge. It tastes really delicious, and the brothers are full of praise. ah!"

He walked in with the food, and suddenly said, "Master Hou, there is a very fresh fragrance in your tent, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it..." He followed the fragrance and saw the name on the map. The beauty immediately shut up, and didn't dare to look any further, and left the food prepared for Zhuang Hou in the tent.

It's just that when he passed by Zhuang Hou, he saw the lifelike painting, and his eyes showed envy.However, a beautiful woman is good-looking, but her life is more important. He knew that Zhuang Hou acted cruelly, so naturally he didn't dare to be disrespectful, so he left soon.

While painting, Zhuanghou was engrossed. Before the painting was finished, he was not in a hurry to eat, so he began to outline Xiaochi's expression.

But I found that the look on his face had changed a lot from the fearful look just now.

With a half-smile, he looked at Zhuang Hou without hesitation, and even bent his eyes when he saw him looking over, but there was no smile in it.

"Very good." Zhuang Hou was also very satisfied, "It's just this expression...it's so beautiful that it's worthy of your beauty. Don't worry, after you die, it won't be in vain."

Xiaochi, who had been silent all this time, actually answered his words, "Sometimes, I also think about what you want and what you are afraid of."

Zhuang Hou seemed to be in a very happy mood, "What do you want? How come I don't know the truth of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi? It's just that since I have this fate today, I have to act recklessly and enjoy myself so that I can live up to my time in this world. suffered."

"At this age, what I still miss is actually nothing more than my foundation a hundred years later, and my only son."

Perhaps in Zhuanghou's eyes, Xiaochi was already a mortal person, so he buried these words in his heart and told him very frankly, "I used to worry about Zhuang Yan, and there was another mother, but I was afraid After Shan Niang died, she also took revenge on me, and when we meet again in the underworld, it will be considered that we owe nothing to anyone."

"After today, I will destroy what he cherishes the most. From then on, I will completely destroy the kindness in his heart, and he will have no more worries. In the end, he will ride the world, and it will definitely be a duel between him and Mu Beixi... Ah, Yuchiwang, how can I not thank you? You snatched my most wanted son from his mother and gave it back to me."

The painting was completed, Zhuang Hou hung it up, dried it carefully, turned around and took the halberd, and walked towards Xiaochi with a smile.

He said: "I think this map is very suitable for you. In your life, you can be regarded as controlling the pattern of Jiangbei. I will use it as your shroud."

"For Zhuang Yan's sake, I promise it won't hurt." Zhuang Hou coaxed him softly, his expression almost tender, "Xiao Chi, farewell."

The expected panic did not appear, Xiao Chi looked at him, but there was no trace of fear on his face.He suddenly burst out laughing, "You said that Zhuang Yan has your shadow on him, I agree with that, but you still underestimated Zhuang Yan, he told me that in order to let your dirty blood die in his generation, He decided not to have children in his life."

Zhuang Hou froze.

Xiaochi jumped down from the table nimbly, and with a movement that was almost invisible, he took down a pair of sabers from Zhuanghou's tent, held a sword in each hand, and performed Xiaoyi's rising posture.

The uncontrollable smile on his mouth grew bigger and bigger, "Why do you think I came here to cast a net? Why did I bring painting tools and paints, and deliberately delay the time with you?! I just sent it to you to burn your army. The despondent pine in my hand, combined with the fragrance of the soul-leaving apricot blossoms in this forest, turned into a deadly poison that infiltrated into the chest and lungs... I have been waiting for so long, just to let all your lackeys die here. Don't even think about living! Hahaha!"

Xiaochi looked at Zhuang Hou's expression with some expectation, and said with joyful malice: "Go out! Go out and see if there are corpses all over the place? After eating the meal made of pine wood, you will know more about it. Accelerate the onset and die suddenly within a stick of incense. Even people who have not eaten can't stand up now. Why don't you close your eyes and wait for death? What do you think I am here with you? I am waiting for poison Take effect! Hahaha!"

"Now it's just like what you did to my people back then. They are like a group of fragile livestock, and I killed them so easily!" Xiaochi laughed with tears in his eyes, "Come on, let's go out have a look!"

Zhuang Hou calmed down quickly, "If it can spread in the air, how can you and I be fine?"

"Because of this." Xiaochi's eyes were red, and he pointed to the sachet on his waist with a distorted smile, "This is the antidote! It's just a little bit... But I'm not using it to save myself , I am here to save you——I want you to see clearly that your proud foundation will be completely destroyed by me, hahaha!"

Zhuanghou finally couldn't hold back anymore, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed out of the tent.

It was still dusk in the sky, but there was still a ray of afterglow spreading on the earth.

Zhuanghou's halberd fell to the ground.

The ground is full of the corpses of soldiers in horrific death, their eyes turned white, their cheeks bruised, all of them suffocated to death in extreme pain.They didn't have any scars on their bodies, and just passed away quietly like this. When they left, the residual heat in their bodies hadn't dissipated.

Only Vice General Wang, who happened to have taken a mouthful of antidote after entering the tent before, was a living person among the silent corpses in this place. —”

Zhuang Hou kicked Deputy General Wang away, then picked up the halberd, pointed at Xiaochi, and stabbed him in the head.

Xiaochi seemed to have seen the happiest thing for him. He laughed until he wept, and waved his swords to meet the enemy.

How long had he been waiting for this moment?In his dreams, he wanted to kill this beast with his own hands!

Today, he finally has the power to match, and he is no longer the same.

During the fight, Xiaochi tortured Zhuang Hou repeatedly with words that hit the most painful place, "Return your foundation in Jiangbei? Now that your vanguard is trapped here, the rest of your troops will be nothing if you don't have you to intimidate and lead them." Uneven, fragmented sand!"

"You want to hand it over to Zhuang Yan to inherit? Hahaha, dream! I have already handed it over to Mu Beixi! I stole from Zhuang Yan's study room the marching map and battle line he made in the past five years, and sent it directly to him. Made a bargain for Mu Beixi. At this time, Mu Beixi's urgent march has landed from Yuangang City, and he is pushing westward along this side. Fuck your mother's foundation. I want you to watch with your own eyes. Everything that matters!"

His eyes were completely red, and he smiled ferociously, "Die! Die!"

Deputy General Wang, who got out of the camp, saw the scene in front of him, and immediately lost all fighting spirit, and ran away in fright.

Now Xiaochi only has eyes on this person in front of him. Xiaoyi's operation made him irritable and irritable, but now facing his enemy who subjugated the country and murdered his relatives, he finally completely lost his mind.

Zhuanghou was shocked to find that he was not Xiaochi's opponent. This beauty who pretended to be a canary and depended on men for a living had actually practiced such a terrifying evil skill in just five years.

If what Xiaochi said is true, he must leave alive, and then go back as quickly as possible to fight with the infantry of [-] people, and then flank with the Zhuang Yan Alliance to repel the surprise attack from the south bank.

But at the moment when Zhuang Hou started to retreat, the two swords in Xiaochi's hand pierced through his thighs, pinning him to the ground.

Xiaochi's eyes were red with blood, he let go of the two swords in his hands, and grasped with five fingers, grabbing at Zhuanghou's Tianling, as if he wanted to blow his head off on the spot.

"It will be more useful to keep people under my command—it will be more useful to kill them after two days. Didn't we agree before!?" Mu Beixi came silently from behind, and used Xiaochi's killer move with one move, and then found that Xiaochi fell into the previous situation again. In this situation, he has lost his mind, he can't hear what anyone is saying, he is so addicted to killing that he doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend, and he scratches everyone's head when he sees him.

In just one breath, Mu Beixi and Xiaochi had already gone through dozens of tricks quickly.Mu Beixi's people still have a long way to go, and now he doesn't have any backup to help.

When Xiaochi pointed the wind across Zhuang Hou's head, he was already stunned. Mu Beixi glanced at him, don't worry that he would run away, and concentrated on dealing with the trouble in front of him.

But as he hit it, Xiaochi's red eyes seemed to look over his body and see something behind him.He actually gave up Mu Beixi's "enemy" with his door wide open, and rushed backwards.

Mu Beixi quickly stopped his move, but when he turned his head again, he saw a person behind who didn't know when he would arrive, and he didn't know how long he had been watching there.

Standing there is a young man, his figure and appearance are close to perfect, all the proportions of his body are just right, without any blemishes, he opened his eyes wide to watch Xiaochi's ultimate move, and he didn't even dodge .

But Mu Beixi saw with his own eyes that the moment Xiaochi touched his body, his body...dissolved in the air out of thin air, and then appeared in another direction not far away.

The irrational Xiaochi lost his target, turned his head and saw Mu Beixi first, and immediately killed him frantically.

Mu Beixi had no choice but to fight, and at the same time lead the way, slowly approaching the man.

Mu Beixi narrowed his eyes and said, "Shi Huan, what are you doing here?"

Shi Huan's lips were open, and there was no expression on his face when he spoke, like a walking corpse without a soul, every word he spoke had no ups and downs, "I'm observing."

Mu Beixi didn't speak immediately, because he was having a bit of trouble parrying.He didn't want to hurt Xiaochi at first, but if it would be too time-consuming to let him go crazy like this, Mu Beixi would not show mercy to him.

"Where did you go wrong?" Shi Huan didn't move, but his body turned strangely in Mu Beixi's direction, "Because of your mistakes, you acquired knowledge that you shouldn't have acquired, and I didn't correct you. But he, very It will be automatically ruled out soon."

"There are still mistakes." Shi Huan repeated coldly, "I will continue to investigate."

After saying these words, his body was dissolved in the moonlight, and the ground under his feet did not leave any traces, as if no one had ever been here before.

Mu Beixi: "...Shi Huan! Come back to me!"

He was annoyed by the entanglement of Koike who had lost his mind, so he directly hit him with a heavy hand. After breaking his right breast rib, he caught his opening at this moment because of the severe pain, and finally knocked him out.

There were dead bodies everywhere in the wilderness, and there was no second sober person. Mu Beixi panted lightly, and waited for a while, until the people who had caught up with him caught up with him.

Mu Beixi pointed to Marquis Zhuang on the ground, "Take him, don't let him die, it will be useful in two days. The rapid march continues to the west, and the southern team sends an order to forcefully cross the river. Also, after our people pass by, take I set this Lihun Xinglin on fire, and told everyone to take the antidote first."

His subordinates led away, and Mu Beixi looked at Xiaochi who had been thrown on the ground by him, and sighed, "I don't think Zhuang Yan will be able to tolerate you if you do such a thing. The world is so big, Your homeland is dead, and now you have nowhere to go...forget it, just follow me first."

That year Zhuanghou's deputy Wang fled and took the portrait of the beauty in the camp. This is the only portrait of Yuchi Guoshi that has been handed down from generation to generation, and thus lost its whereabouts.

...until hundreds of years later, it was discovered and taken out from the tomb outside Xiyan Pass.

Zian randomly rolled up the painting, put it on Chi Wang's body, and walked out of the tomb with him in his arms.

When the people waiting outside saw only one monk coming out, they were stunned: "Where is Your Highness the Princess?"

"It's all right, take the people inside back to rest, and they will wake up naturally in half a day." After Zian explained briefly, he left with the unconscious Chi Wang in his arms, looking very preoccupied.

He ran fast for a long time, and finally found a dilapidated temple in this deserted farmland.

The Buddha statues in the temple, because they have not been enshrined for a long time, have shown signs of dilapidation, and the temple is quite desolate.

But Zian had no time to care about other things. He took off his monk's robe and spread it on the ground, put Chi Wang's body on the clothes, and carefully rested his head on his lap.

He gently stroked Chi Wang's long hair, smoothing the messy strands little by little.

There was no one else around, and Shashi appeared in front of Zian in a panic, "What's wrong with Xiaochi?"

Zian opened the 700-year-old picture scroll of Chiwang, and after seeing the "Seal of Zhuanghou" below, he did not hesitate to use his internal force to completely shatter the portrait, destroying this precious painting.

"You passed Vita's core channel rashly before, and the information data left behind was deciphered by her, which gave her an opportunity. This is her final blow to Xiaochi in the disconnection mode."

Shashi was so anxious that she burst into tears, "It's my fault, it's all because I'm too stupid... Help him, you can do something, right? Don't let him face the chicken feet alone, chicken feet are so fierce, don't let her Bully Koike, okay?"

"You don't have to blame yourself like this, even without you, it's only a month earlier or a month later." Zi'an suppressed his anxiety, "Weta is about to reconnect to the Internet, and I have already seen the progress of the communication repair... We must hurry up."

Chi Wang frowned tightly in his sleep, his body twitched slightly, as if he was very uncomfortable.The monk showed regret and stroked his back gently.This kind of comfort seemed to be really effective, and Chi Wang really calmed down a little, but he was still deeply trapped in the illusion woven by Weita, and he couldn't get rid of it easily.

"Now I can't forcibly intervene. Vita's action has excluded me. What I can do is very limited."

Zian's heart is very heavy, everything is going in the most unfavorable direction, and all the things that are about to happen have caught up with the most inappropriate timing.

He was about to become someone else... only the last memory locked away.

Thinking of the not-so-optimistic prospects, he let out a deep breath, "The moment he touched the scroll, he was brought back into the memories of the past...he was about to face the past that he was most afraid of. What we can do, Just guard him here, trust him, and wait for him to come out by himself."

After Shashi finished crying, he sobbed and said: "Xiaochi is so powerful! There is nothing to be afraid of! You...you obscene monk, you were uneasy and kind to him before, but now you are still hugging him so intimately, no way , let him go! I'll hug him!"

Zian frowned and pushed away the hand that had turned into stone, "He and I are a serious couple who have worshiped the world, so it's only natural to hold him, who do you think you are?"

Shashi was silent for a moment, then came to his senses, rushed up to fight angrily, and shouted: "You are lying to a ghost—you are a bald donkey, and you can still get married!? My family has a rich and beautiful Xiaochi, how could that be possible?" With a poor monk? You nonsense bastard, let me go immediately!"

The author has something to say:

Sandstone growls: I don't agree with this marriage!absolute!no!
