Chapter 027 Jin丨Exclusive publication of Jiang Wenxue

Pei Rui's knife is very long, and feels longer than some swords, at least 130 cm. It

is covered with a scabbard, and the handle is about one foot long. Because it has been used for too long, the anti-skid pattern on the handle is almost worn out.

Xue Chen did not recognize the style of this knife, and held it and touched it repeatedly. Lu

Xiaofeng caught a rabbit, peeled and bled it with a dagger, and simply processed it, cut it into several pieces, and skewered it on a branch to roast.

The rabbit was quite fat, and the fat on the skin melted quickly, making a sizzling sound, and the fragrance became stronger.

Pei Rui raised his face in confusion, turned in the direction of the roasted rabbit, and sniffed it gently.

Lu Xiaofeng met his eyes.

Although both are blind, the boy's eyes are obviously different from those of Hua Man Lou. They are grayish in color, and look somewhat transparent when the light is bright. His pupils are dilated and lifeless, and he has no emotions, which makes him look particularly cold.

It is not polite to stare at someone's disability, even though the other party does not know it. Lu Xiaofeng quickly looked away and turned the rabbit meat over: "It has just been roasted, it is not cooked yet, and it will take a while before you can eat it."

Pei Rui said nothing, turned around, and continued to touch the knife in his arms.

This knife can reach his waist when it is erected, and it is hard to imagine using it for close combat.

In the text introduction, Pei Rui's brain is not very good, but his knife skills are good. He relied on this knife to kill several times when he was sure to die. You can imagine his feelings for this knife.

The vest skill points are not enough, and you may encounter enemies at any time, so you must improve the synchronization rate as soon as possible.

Lu Xiaofeng: "What's your name?"

The boy looked quite indifferent: "Pei Rui, sharp." Lu Xiaofeng

: "This name suits you very well."

Pei Rui: "I know."

Lu Xiaofeng: "My name is Lu Xiaofeng."

Pei Rui nodded and didn't care about him at all.

Lu Xiaofeng suspected that he relied on her not for investigating the case, but simply wanted to find someone to feed him.

System: [What did you find out? 】

Xue Chen was not sure: [It seems to be a Mo Dao? But Mo Dao is usually more than three meters long, this one is too short. 】

System: [Three meters... what will it look like when it is swung? 】

Xue Chen imagined a scene of a person stuck on a stick, and it felt wrong: [It must take a lot of strength. 】After

chatting with the system for a while and controlling the other two vests to finish their meal, Lu Xiaofeng's roasted rabbit was ready.

He stuffed the rabbit into Pei Rui's hand: "It's inconvenient to go out. There is no marinating, so the taste may not be very good. Let's eat it together."

Pei Rui grabbed the wooden stick, reached out to touch it, confirmed the size and position of the rabbit meat, and then slowly passed it to his mouth and took a bite.

The more Lu Xiaofeng looked, the more curious she became: "How did you get by in the past?"

Pei Rui: "There were many kind people who gave me money every once in a while, and sometimes food."

Lu Xiaofeng looked strange: "You are not talking about the people who chased you, right?"

Pei Rui: "That's them."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Did you kill them all?"

Pei Rui: "Yeah."

The freshly roasted rabbit meat smelled delicious, but tasted particularly bad.

The rabbit meat was very dry, without any saltiness, and there was only a faint fishy smell when you took a bite, which formed a sharp contrast with the food eaten by the other two vests.

In order to make up for Pei Rui's injuries, Xie Heng guzzled drinks in the alchemy room.

The original body also asked Gong Jiu for some fruit, peeled and washed it, cut it into small pieces, put it in a crystal bowl, and ate it slowly with a fruit fork with his brother.

Xue Chen said, "You have been with me recently, and even put aside your work. The front line is still waiting for you to send money and food. Leave early, and I should go home."

Gong Jiu answered without hesitation, "Nothing is more important than your health. I have sent people to escort food and grass to the front line. Brother, you should rest for a few more days."

He was actually a little reluctant to part with his brother.

After this separation, it will take a long time before they can meet again, and the time they spend together is not long. When he achieves his great cause, it will be even more difficult for them to have such a peaceful time together.

Xue Chen smiled and stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth: "If you can't bear to leave, then go home and stay for a few more days. I see you are not very busy outside, you can't spare this little time, right?"

Gong Jiu: "Okay."

Xue Chen: [This rebellious son is not good at all. Who is the reason for my headache every time? He gets sick every few days. He doesn't feel tired, but I am tired. If I stay here any longer, I will die of sleep deprivation sooner or later. ]

System: [Tell your brother if you have the guts. ]

Xue Chen shouted: [I have no guts! I am just a cute little rabbit. I dare not say it out loud, I can only think loudly in my heart! ]

Pei Rui bit a bite of rabbit meat hard.

System: [...Okay, I was wrong. I apologize to you. Don't make a fuss. ]

The next morning, the servants of Cang Yunxuan were busy.

Xue Chen was ready to leave, and Gong Jiu certainly would not stay here any longer, so he also had to pack up and leave.

Both of them were of noble status, so they had to prepare their food and clothing for the journey in advance, and there was also a lot of things from Xie Heng that needed to be moved away, so it took them two or three days to pack everything up.

Gong Jiu and Xue Chen rode in the same carriage, and only got off after leaving the city and returned to their own carriages.

The two brothers parted ways, Xue Chen returned to the Prince Taiping's Mansion, and Gong Jiu took Xie Heng on another route.

Halfway through the journey, Gong Jiu's carriage changed direction, and the destination was changed from the front line to the coastal pier. At Gong Jiu's signal, Xie Heng was carried out of the carriage containing the alchemy furnace and sundries by Hu Sheng and stuffed into Gong Jiu's side.

Gong Jiu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Heng: "I'll apologize for you first."

Xie Heng's voice was very soft and his tone was light: "I am of humble origin and do not deserve such kindness from the prince."

Gong Jiu: "This is a serious matter and it is not easy to disclose it casually. I did not intend to deceive you, and I hope you will not blame me. I was disrespectful to you before, so please forgive me this time because I did it for a reason."

They still had a long time to spend together in the future. Gong Jiu shook hands and made peace. Xie Heng certainly would not make him unhappy. He took the teacup handed to him by Gong Jiu, and his expression was no longer as cold as before: "You are too polite. You don't have to call me sir. It sounds really strange. If you don't mind, let's get along like before."

Gong Jiu: "Okay."

Xie Heng was about to ask him to rub his legs, but the carriage suddenly shook violently. There was a scream outside, and blood splashed on the curtain in front and seeped into the inside.

Gong Jiu's eyes became sharp, and he reacted very quickly. He pulled Xie Heng, and Xie Heng fell into his arms. An arrow flew through the window, flew past the position where Xie Heng had just been, and pierced into the wall of the car behind him.

Gong Jiu picked up Xie Heng, broke out of the door, and stood outside holding him.

A faint flute sound came from afar. From Xie Heng's side, he could only see a vague shadow wearing a martial arts hat, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

The killers surrounding them were wearing common coarse linen clothes. Xie Heng looked around and found that these people were indeed as Gong Jiu said. The expressions on their faces were very reluctant, and fear was evident in their words. However, their attacks were extremely brutal. They knew they were no match for Gong Jiu, but they still came one after another to die.

Gong Jiu has already reached the state of "no sword". Although he has no weapons in his hands, the falling flowers and leaves can all be swords. Even with Xie Heng as a hindrance, he can easily kill people.

However, there are too many people on the opposite side. Many of Gong Jiu's followers have been killed. If he does not escape at this time, he will be exhausted sooner or later.

Gong Jiu dodged a hidden arrow and asked Xie Heng: "What did you see?"

Xie Heng: "There are many people."

Gong Jiu: "Only this?"

Xie Heng: "The Wen family of Lingnan."

Gong Jiu: "It is indeed something they can do."

The old Lingnan Wen family is the world's number one poison making and using family. It is divided into four families. The "small family" is responsible for making poison, the "big family" is responsible for storing poison, the "dead family" is responsible for poisoning, and the "living family" is responsible for detoxification.

The Wen family has been around for hundreds of years and has countless disciples with all kinds of personalities. It is not surprising that they do anything.

If it was really the Wen family who did it, the reason why Gong Jiu was hunted down would be clear at a glance.

Xie Heng: "The eldest son will probably be ambushed as well. There won't be as many people participating in the ambush as here. The number of soldiers brought by the eldest son should be enough to deal with it."

Gong Jiu was no longer calm. He took the enemy's weapons and cleared out the people around him in a few moves. He looked down at Xie Heng with a gloomy face: "How do you know that the eldest brother will be ambushed?"

Xie Heng: "Don't you understand? They are coming for you."

"Of course I know..." Gong Jiu paused, "You mean, they are coming for the Prince of Taiping?"

"That's right."

After leaving the Taiping Palace, Gong Jiu was targeted. He was ambushed halfway and Gong Jiu killed all those people by himself.

He thought the matter was over, but it was not the case.

The enemy had been waiting for an opportunity to leave Longxing Mansion. Without the support of the palace soldiers, the enemy attacked again.

Gong Jiu was ambushed. As the eldest son of the Taiping Palace, Xue Chen must not be in a better situation either. It would only take a short while.

After thinking it through, Gong Jiu no longer wanted to fight with these minions. He ordered loudly: "Leave the carriage and luggage behind and retreat immediately!"

After that, he cut the ropes that tied the carriage, hugged Xie Heng and jumped on the horse. He didn't care whether his subordinates could keep up or not, and galloped away to break out.

Gong Jiu lowered his head and asked, "Where are we going?"

Xie Heng's legs were weak, and he couldn't hold the horse tightly. There were no stirrups to fix his feet. He leaned on Gong Jiu anxiously.

Hearing Gong Jiu's question, he replied, "East."

Gong Jiu: "Which way is east?"

Xie Heng: "..."

Xue Chen: [I am really impressed.]

System: [There is no way, he is your brother.]

The horse ran too fast, and Xie Heng's voice was floating: "Left, if you don't even know where the left is, just kill me."

Gong Jiu pulled the reins to change the direction. Xie Heng staggered and held his arm to sit still.

The system was weird: [I really envy you for having such a good brother. He really cares about you. He heard that you might be in trouble and didn't want to delay for a moment.]

Xue Chen: [......]

It's over, the system has been blocked for dirty words, and it has been too hard to hold it back, and now it has changed.

Xue Chen has been silent, and the system is a little panicked: [What are you thinking about? 】

Xue Chen: [I was wondering if you would beg me to whip you later.]

System: [……]

On this side of the main body, the person playing the flute arrived faster than Gong Jiu. Fortunately, the number of enemies here is indeed much smaller.

Xue Chen was well prepared. When he saw the enemy attack, he immediately shouted loudly: "Form a formation and meet the enemy!"

The soldiers behind him quickly ran to the front and surrounded Xue Chen's carriage in the middle. They swept across with spears and quickly dealt with many people.

The enemy behind seemed to be a man of the rivers and lakes. He had martial arts skills and broke through the formation and rushed to Xue Chen's side.

Xue Chen's eyes sharpened, raised his hand to block the attack, grabbed his arm, and temporarily restrained the man. With the other hand, he pinched his neck and used his internal force. With a click, the man's neck was broken and he was silent.

He threw the man out of the carriage, came out, and drew the sword from the driver's entourage. With his light sword skills, he killed all the people who rushed to the front in a moment.

The sound of the flute was particularly ethereal in the mountains and forests, and the graceful tune became sad.

Xue Chen looked around and found a convenient hiding place nearby. He endured the headache and killed all the way. After walking about a few hundred meters, he saw the man playing the flute behind a thick tree.

The man was frightened when he saw Xue Chen, and turned around to escape. Xue Chen used his light skills to chase him.

With the long sword across the flute player's neck, Xue Chen said coldly: "Give me the flute."
