Chapter 029 Jin丨Jiang Wenxue Exclusive Release (1000 Nutrients Plus)
The moment Gong Jiu came out, Xie Heng looked over from afar.
Sitting in the middle of the soldiers around the fire, the young man holding the hot soup chuckled, and in the crackling of sparks, he said in a voice that all the soldiers could hear: "The prince is particularly charming today."
The soldier closest to him: "Puff!"
Gong Jiu called the steward, gave him a few instructions, and returned to the carriage. The soldiers who accompanied him kept their eyes on him. At first, they thought he was the eldest son. After observing for a long time, they judged his identity from his hairstyle and demeanor, as well as the coldness that he inadvertently revealed.
"It really is the prince."
Everyone was stunned.
Xie Heng was unmoved, and put his hands on his lower back, kneading vigorously.
Not only were his legs about to cramp, but the muscles in his waist and abdomen were cold and hard to the touch, and it hurt a lot.
[I guess for a long time in the future, these people will think of your words when they see Gong Jiu.] The system said, [You are really sinister.]
Xue Chen: [How can you say that? My brother has changed into new clothes, of course I have to show my support for him.]
Those soldiers reacted belatedly and looked at Xie Heng with admiration.
The one who was closer to Xie Heng said, "You don't want to live anymore? How dare you say such a thing!"
Xie Heng: "Why do you say that?"
The soldier: "Although the prince is some distance away from here, his hearing is very good, and he can hear even the slightest movement. The prince is of noble status, outstanding ability, and a bit arrogant. If he knows that you dare to say that to him, you will definitely be in trouble."
"I want to eat fruit..." Xie Heng said softly, looking around, "Is they cooking over there? Can you eat citrus fruits on weekdays?"
"..."
System: [I guess he wants to say, you should be more careful, but he is also afraid that you want to have a snack.]
Xue Chen: [Xie Heng's body is really hungry. Running for so long is too exhausting. He wants to eat everything he hears. Why haven't you started eating yet? 】
System: [Aren't you disgusted? ]
Xue Chen: [I've been riding for too long. Not only do I feel disgusted, but I also have a stomachache. Eating something should be fine. ]
System: [……]
-Perhaps
the mastermind has put the main force on Gong Jiu's side. Pei Rui and Lu Xiaofeng have never been hunted down, and they can be said to have lived a peaceful life.
Pei Rui gained 3 more synchronization rates during the conversation, and raised his internal strength to level 3. His hearing and intuition levels remained unchanged, but they also became more sensitive.
Xie Heng stayed with Gong Jiu's main body all night. The next morning, Gong Jiu took Xie Heng away on horseback.
Because he was in a hurry to deal with the flute player, Gong Jiu was still very fast when he returned.
With the experience from last time, this time the directions were much smoother, and it took less than an hour to return to the place where the attack had occurred.
This was a remote path, not as smooth as the official road, and there were few people around. Only the passing merchants and people from the underworld trampled the soil on the ground, turning it into a road that could be driven by carriages.
Corpses were lying on both sides of the road. Gong Jiu dismounted to check: "Not all of them should have died here."
Xie Heng held the horse's back and said tiredly: "There are a total of 46 corpses here, 13 of which are your subordinates, and the other 33 are those who attacked us."
Gong Jiu stopped looking at the corpses and turned around: "What else did you see?"
Xie Heng: "Some of these people died during the retreat. The enemy pursued them for a while. In order to conceal their tracks, your people deliberately hid their whereabouts. Later, the enemy destroyed all traces, and we can't be sure where they went for the time being."
In other words, he and Gong Jiu were separated from most of the people.
Xie Heng's face became more and more ugly: "Are you going to find someone else, or go back to the island alone?"
Gong Jiu didn't wear the orange coat today. Xue Chen changed him into a calm raven-green wide-sleeved round-necked robe, which matched the sandalwood robe inside. Only a little bit of sandalwood color was revealed, which made him look a little more youthful.
Xie Heng was very satisfied with his outfit, and his mood improved a lot as he looked at it.
Xue Chen: [I understand why I didn't like him so much before.]
System: [???]
Did you really dislike him?
Xue Chen: [Wearing white clothes all day long, and his face is still so stinky, it's more appropriate to describe him as "like a deceased parent."]
System: [Your mother is indeed dead.]
Xue Chen: [……]
Xue Chen silently blocked the system that tried so hard to swear.
Gong Jiu: "Do you know the way?"
Xie Heng: "Yes."
If he went to look for those subordinates, he didn't know when he would find them. And Xie Heng estimated that those people would also rush to the coastal pier and eventually meet there.
The longer Gong Jiu was alone outside, the greater the possibility of his illness.
Now there was no one to help him. With Gong Jiu's martial arts, even if Xie Heng was a healthy person, he would not be able to escape, not to mention that he had difficulty walking.
There were people from the nameless island waiting for him at the pier. As long as he went there, Xie Heng would be free.
Gong Jiu nodded: "You lead the way, back to the island."
Xie Heng sat on the horse with his legs hanging down, but his back was very straight. He pointed to the carriage behind: "Go and see if the luggage is still in the carriage, take the valuables, go to the town to rent a carriage, and find someone to drive the carriage."
He was too righteous, and Gong Jiu vaguely saw the shadow of his brother.
Thinking carefully, Xie Heng was a cripple, even if Xie Heng was asked to search for the luggage, he had to carry it.
Gong Jiu looked at him deeply.
The body had not been dead for a long time, and there was no smell of decay, but a strong smell of blood. Gong Jiu held his breath, his face normal, and went to search in the broken carriage.
The other party only wanted to kill them and not their money, so they didn't take away their belongings. Their gold, silver, jewelry, food, water, clothes, and various pots and tea sets were all still there.
Gong Jiu didn't take the things that were brought in, but only picked up a few gold bars and some clothes to change, and then left, saying lightly, "Let's go."
Xie Heng glanced at the alchemy furnace and the remaining medicinal materials in the carriage behind him, and said nothing.
Gong Jiu hung the package of gold and spare clothes on the horse's back, climbed on the horse, and continued to gallop.
-
"It's really strange. I was chased by those people every day in the past few days. How come I can't see any of them after I met you?" Lu Xiaofeng turned his head and glanced at Pei Rui, hinting at something.
When they first met, Pei Rui had a wound on his face, from the corner of his eye to his chin. As he said, if it was a little deeper, his head would be split in half.
But this wound is not that deep. Pei Rui is alive and well. Even now, the wound is healing and forming dark blood scabs.
Who dares to say that this is not a self-torture trick by the other party?
"I don't know." Pei Rui seemed to have not heard what Lu Xiaofeng meant at all. He used a little more strength in his hands: "Lu Xiaofeng, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Lu Xiaofeng stared at him for a while, and took out a piece of dry food from his arms.
This was what he had prepared before, and it was very suitable for eating when escaping. Although it was hard and hurt the teeth, the taste was not very good. Just eating a small piece would ensure that you would not be hungry for half a day.
This kind of dry food is something that the military eats during wartime, and Lu Xiaofeng only came into contact with it by chance.
"Shall I hold the knife for you? Eat while walking?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"No."
Pei Rui released the hand that was holding his arm, raised it and touched to the left, landing accurately on the piece of dry food. He felt the texture of the thing, without asking what it was, took it directly, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
When they made this move, the two did not stop, or even slow down.
When they first met, the young man had difficulty walking and even had difficulty moving alone. It's only been two days, and he can do this?
The suspicion is too great, which makes it seem aboveboard.
Lu Xiaofeng continued to test: "Since you can walk by yourself, why do you need my help?"
Pei Rui had good eating manners, but the dry food was really hard to swallow. He puffed up his cheeks and ground it for a while. After swallowing it, he replied: "I don't know the way. There is a river over there, and I can't swim."
He waited for a while, [System, where is the synchronization rate? ]
The system didn't say anything.
Xue Chen then remembered that he had blocked it and released the system from the small dark room.
The system cried and said: [It's so scary after being blocked, it's like being dead. ]
Xue Chen: [Isn't death just like sleeping? People are afraid of death because they are attached to this world. I have never heard of being afraid of sleeping. You are not going to die, what are you afraid of? 】
Lu Xiaofeng: "Are you afraid of water?"
System: [It feels like calling to the heavens and the earth for help but no one can answer.]
"I was bullied before and almost drowned." Xue Chen, [It's loneliness.]
System suddenly realized: [Oh...you said almost drowned, could it be Xie Heng? That's none of my business.]
"Where are your family?" Lu Xiaofeng was still asking.
"I don't have any family." Xue Chen recalled the brief text introduction, and appropriately showed some confusion, then restrained his inadvertent vulnerability, his expression became more indifferent, and at the same time said to the system in his heart, [I don't blame you, why are you feeling guilty? What about my synchronization rate?]
System: [Added! Pei Rui set the synchronization rate to +5%, the current synchronization rate is 17%, and 5 skill points can be used. Xie Heng also added 1, and now the synchronization rate is 95%. There are 10 skill points left. 】 Lu
Xiaofeng: "Sorry."
Xue Chen: [When did Xie Heng's synchronization rate increase? 】
System: [When you asked Gong Jiu to find something... Congratulations, under your unremitting performance, Xie Heng has gradually become your own shape. 】
Xue Chen: [Congratulations. 】
Xue Chen chewed on dry food, and in a trance, he felt that he had become stronger again. He
could control three vests at the same time, and he could also distract himself and talk to the system, and his thoughts were clear, and he didn't feel tired at all.
If it weren't for the severe headache, he would have wanted to open a fourth vest.
Use the newly acquired synchronization rate to upgrade [Intuition] to level 2, [Imagery] to level 3, and clear the skill points again.
The moment after the upgrade, Pei Rui suddenly felt uncomfortable. He stopped, gripped the knife in his hand tightly, his pupils slightly dilated, moved his head left and right, and carefully distinguished the sounds around him.
[Set synchronization rate +1, current vest synchronization rate 18%, 1 skill point can be used. ]
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "What's wrong?"
Pei Rui carefully sensed it, it seemed that he only had that feeling when the skill was just upgraded, and as time passed, it gradually disappeared, "Nothing."
He continued to chew dry food.
The two walked for a long time and stopped to rest when they encountered a water source.
Lu Xiaofeng held the water in his hands and drank big gulps, and the hair on his temples was wet.
After drinking, he turned around and looked at Pei Rui: "Are you thirsty after eating so much dry food? Do you want to drink something? But I can't find even a big leaf here, and there is no container for water."
Pei Rui was extremely thirsty. Since he met Lu Xiaofeng, he had not drunk a sip of water.
He came over with a knife, judged the approximate location based on the sound of the river, slowed down his steps, and moved forward cautiously.
His left arm was suddenly held by someone. Lu Xiaofeng smiled, exerted a little force, and led him the way: "I have a very good friend, and he can't see either."
The boy had a cold expression, but tilted his head slightly, and seemed to be interested in this topic.
Lu Xiaofeng was unwilling to talk more about Hua Manlou's blindness, so she could only apologize in her heart and said something unimportant: "If he needs help, I will definitely help him, because we are friends. If you also regard me as a friend, you might as well relax a little."
Pei Rui followed his movements and came to the river. After squatting, Lu Xiaofeng naturally pulled his hand to touch the river water so that he could know the position of the river surface, then quickly let go, stood up and stood aside to look into the distance.
The system also said: [I think what he said makes sense. You are not such a stubborn person, and neither is Pei Rui. Why don't you let him help? 】
Xue Chen: [Stupid, I will add points immediately after the synchronization rate is increased. Then I can move freely. Pei Rui will become a weak and green tea character. The synchronization rate will be drastically reduced. What should I do in the future? 】
System: [But it is not much better now. 】
Xue Chen: [Anyway, I didn't say a word. It was all Lu Xiaofeng's own brain filling. When the time comes, you can only blame him for being self-righteous. It has nothing to do with me. 】
System: [……] You are the green tea, right?
The grass and trees in the wild began to wither and turn yellow, the sky was clear blue, the river was clear, and the scenery was pretty good.
Pei Rui suddenly stood up, moving swiftly, and slashed the river surface with his long sword, stirring up a piece of river water. He held the handle of the sword with his right hand and pulled it out with force. The scabbard fell to the ground. He took a half step forward and stood in front of Lu Xiaofeng as a guardian. He looked unstoppable.
A handsome young man walked out of the forest. He was dressed casually, wearing arm guards on his hands, with his sleeves rolled up, holding a long spear, and his demeanor was noble.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Let me guess, are you here to seek revenge?"
The young man said, "Yes."
Lu Xiaofeng: "I wonder if your enemy is me or the kid in front of me?"
The man said, "Do you know who he is?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "I know his name is Pei Rui, a young man who has just entered the martial arts world. He is very good at martial arts. Given time, he will definitely become famous."
The man sneered, "You are wrong."
Lu Xiaofeng: "What's wrong?"
"There is no need to give time, he is already very famous. I have heard that Lu Xiaofeng has a wide range of friends and is well-informed. Haven't you heard of the name of 'Xuan Yue Dao'?" "
The Xuan Yue Dao that only kills people at night?"
"Yes."
"I heard that the number of people killed by Xuan Yue Dao is no less than a hundred. Every person who died in his hands was a well-known master in the martial arts world. How could he be a child of sixteen or seventeen?"
"How old was Ximen Chuxue when he became famous? How old were you?"
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless.
Because he and Ximen Chuxue both became famous at the age of fourteen. Such a reputation on a child can easily overwhelm a person. There are only a few people who can handle the fame and survive the intrigue, but it is not completely impossible.
Lu Xiaofeng: "Who are you?"
The young man smiled slightly: "Fang Yingkan."
Lu Xiaofeng: "So you are the young marquis of the God Spear and Blood Sword. I have heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances. I don't know how Pei Rui offended you?" Fang Yingkan:
"He killed my people."
Xue Chen: [So that's how it is.]
System: [What? You understand again?]
Xue Chen: [I will hold the synchronization rate report for a while. Xiao Mian's martial arts are not strong enough now. I have to find a way to make some special effects when fighting to support the scene.]
System: [? 】
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask a few more questions, but the boy who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up: "You are the one who has been chasing me these days?"
Fang Yingkan and Lu Xiaofeng looked at him together, and their emotions were synchronized at this moment.
We have been testing each other so many times, and you are only now realizing that he is the one who wants to kill you?
Didn't Fang Yingkan's first sentence make it clear?
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that his suspicions in the past two days were ridiculous.
Fang Yingkan also doubted himself in the same way: "Those people you killed were all highly skilled in martial arts and very smart. How did you escape from them and kill them all?"
And you are still blind!
Pei Rui suddenly realized: "So many people are chasing me, no wonder..."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Fang Yingkan: "..."
I actually fell on him! It's really a shame!
Fang Yingkan slowed down and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "He has admitted it."
Although Fang Yingkan is now more like his soul mate, Lu Xiaofeng still sticks to the bottom line and does not betray his friend: "I think he is confused and may not know what happened. He is still a child. Young Marquis, please be generous and let him go this time."
System: [Can I speak? ]
Xue Chen: [Didn't you say that? Before the fight starts, report the synchronization rate. This wave should perfectly meet the setting of the idiot nuclear bomb. ]
There are too many complaints, and the system doesn't know what to say.
It reported the synchronization rate in a proper manner. From just now to now, in such a short time, it has increased by 11%.
Pei Rui's vest synchronization rate suddenly increased to 29%. Only 1% away from completely eliminating the headache sequelae.
Xue Chen: [Give me [Internal Force], [Imagery] and [Intuition]. ]
System: [After adding the first two, it will be upgraded to level 4, [Intuition] level 3, [Moves] and [Hearing] are still both level 1. Are you sure you don't want to add these two? ]
Xue Chen: [Level 1 to level 2 is the difference from a beginner to an ordinary person in the world, and level 3 to level 4 is a qualitative change. First add these that are convenient for special effects, and upgrade the rest when you have points later. ]
System: [Okay. Fang Yingkan
was silent for a long time: "Stop talking nonsense. I will definitely arrest him today."
This sentence should have been said with great momentum, but with the previous development as a foundation, it was not shocking at all, but rather a bit awkward.
Pei Rui was very intuitive and realized that he was going to take action. His momentum suddenly rose, and his strong murderous intent locked onto the person in front of him. He stepped forward and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "You find a place to hide."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
How many years have passed. The last time he heard this sentence, he was still very young.
I didn't expect that now that he is famous and old, he would hear it from such a young man in this situation.
Fang Yingkan was not afraid of fighting. He came over with a gun just to test Pei Rui's depth in person.
Pei Rui's initial performance was disappointing. Fang Yingkan thought that the matter would end here, but he unexpectedly gave himself a surprise when he faced the enemy.
Fang Yingkan was the first to shoot, and the shot broke through the air with great momentum.
Pei Rui was blind and could not see the opponent's attack, nor did he know the specific location of his opponent, but he had lived in such an environment for sixteen years, eleven of which were spent in life-and-death struggles.
He did not understand the rules of human society very well. Like a wild animal, he survived by fighting with brute force. His sharp teeth were his weapons, and his intuition of danger was his instinct as a hunter.
Pei Rui swung his knife, colliding with the spear. He strode forward with a fierce expression.
The knife and sword are similar in appearance, but unlike the long-range stabbing and thrusting of the sword, they are weapons for close combat.
Fang Yingkan was careless and was approached by him. The spear almost lost its ability to attack, and could only be placed horizontally in front of him to block his attack.
He found the right opportunity and slapped Pei Rui. Pei Rui tilted his head slightly, heard his movement, retracted the knife, turned sideways to block, and faced him with the blade at the same time.
Fang Yingkan dodged in a hurry, but a piece of his clothes was still cut off: "You are very good, this fight ends here..."
Pei Rui didn't even listen to him finish, and slapped him again.
Fang Yingkan was furious and used all his strength to continue fighting Pei Rui. He soon discovered Pei Rui's shortcomings.
Pei Rui was too young after all. He could be called a genius for cultivating his internal strength and sword intention to such an extent.
But his moves were too simple, even very barbaric, like a novice who occasionally used one or two moves, but could not use them at the right time, causing him to miss many opportunities to kill himself.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingkan became ruthless.
Fake moves could not fool Pei Rui, so he could only use real moves.
Fang Yingkan gave up resistance and used his body to withstand Pei Rui's slashing. At the same time, his internal strength was exerted to the extreme, and the Wu Ri Divine Spear was ready to go. With this move, Pei Rui would surely die, while he was only slightly injured. At
this moment, time seemed to slow down.
The killing moves of both men were not used according to the predetermined trajectory in the end.
Lu Xiaofeng made a move.
As a bystander, he saw it very clearly. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that this round would decide the winner.
The two men's attention was focused on each other, and no one paid attention to Lu Xiaofeng who was watching the battle, so it was not difficult for Lu Xiaofeng to join such a hot battle.
He used his telepathic finger and easily clamped it to dissolve their moves.
Lu Xiaofeng stood between the two men and said with a smile: "Young Marquis, you are of noble status, why bother?"
Fang Yingkan exerted force on his arms and could not pull back his gun: "Lu Xiaofeng is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Lu Xiaofeng was very humble: "It's just luck. If we were to fight with real knives and guns, I would not be sure that I could withstand the attacks of the two of you."
He let go of his hands, and Fang Yingkan's gun and Pei Rui's knife were put down together.
Fang Yingkan snorted coldly and looked at Pei Rui: "You are a good opponent, we will meet again."
After that, he left with the gun.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Pei Rui.
Pei Rui: "Why did you try to stop him? I almost killed him."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Of course I can see that you are sure you can kill him, but if you really do that, you will only live for a few days. We just met, and there are many things we haven't had time to do. I don't want to lose a new friend so soon."
Pei Rui was silent.
When he was silent before, Lu Xiaofeng would think that this was the character of this kid.
After what happened just now, seeing Pei Rui silent again, Lu Xiaofeng felt a little stomachache.
He is a smart man, smart people think about more things, and the more they think, the more complicated they become, and they can't understand what these simple people think.
At least in the two days with Pei Rui, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Lu Xiaofeng patted the boy's shoulder and said, "The man has left. Put the knife away."
Pei Rui nodded, turned around, walked forward a few steps, squatted down, slowly touched the scabbard, and put the long knife back into the scabbard.
Lu Xiaofeng subconsciously felt that something was wrong. This action was too skillful!
But thinking of Pei Rui's reaction speed.
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Forget it.
