Chapter 23 Accidentally Encountering the Words of the Phantom
When the first ray of morning light filtered through the trees, Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge got up early and continued climbing up the mountain. After a crazy night, not only did they not feel tired in the morning, but they felt refreshed.
As expected, I found that my inner breath had improved to a higher level.
"How about it? Chen'er, I didn't lie to you."
With sharp eyes, Feng Qingge caught Xue Xichen's little thoughts and asked jokingly.
Xue Xichen stared, despising a certain man's face that looked like a sneaky cat, she said: "You bastard, you! Let's go! We must climb to the top of the mountain today!"
"Don't worry! Although Phoenix Mountain is high, with the martial arts of the two of us, we can reach the top of the mountain in less than noon."
"Really? Let's go quickly!"
Feng Qingge took Xue Xichen's arm and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's walk slowly and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the mountain road."
Xue Xichen tilted her head and thought that she was right. Climbing the mountain was not just for climbing, but more importantly for enjoying the surrounding scenery. She came with a utilitarian heart, but she seemed not as free and easy as Feng Qingge.
"You're right! We should go slowly!"
Feng Qingge held Xue Xichen's hand, and the two walked along the mountain road together, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides. Xue Xichen breathed in the fresh air, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy. She said happily: "The air on the mountain is really refreshing, no wonder this worldly expert
They all like to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Breathing such fresh air every day will definitely make them healthy and live a long life."
"Chen'er, your master is an expert."
"Master..." Xue Xichen smiled, "Yes! Master has already seen through the world of mortals, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and not caring about worldly affairs. If he hadn't saved me back then,..." Suddenly, she stopped talking and did not continue.
Feng Qingge looked confused and asked, "Chen'er, why did you stop talking all of a sudden? Did you think of your miserable life experience..."
"I'm very grateful, Master!" Xue Xichen said it simply. What happened that day was an eternal pain in her heart, and she really didn't want to mention it again. Moreover, once she said it, Feng Qingge would definitely
Recognize her as Xue Meitong!
And she would rather Feng Qingge never know, just treat her as Xue Xichen, treat her so tenderly, and get along with her peacefully.
"Chen'er..."
Feng Qingge held Xue Xichen's hand tightly, stared at it seriously, and said sincerely: "As long as I am by your side in the future, I will not let you be harmed in the slightest again. For those who have hurt you, I
It will also make them pay a heavy price ten times and a hundred times! Chen'er, tell me the pain in your heart and let me share it with you."
"Qingge, thank you..."
The pain in my heart cannot be explained clearly overnight. Being a human being in two lives, the memories of two worlds have caused me too much pain and sadness. Now I don’t want to recall the past, I just want to watch the future -
—The future with you!
"Qingge, Xichen is so lucky to meet you in this life!"
Feng Qingge stared deeply, her eyes burning with sincerity, "Chen'er, I, Feng Qingge, am lucky to know you and accompany me in this life!"
Looking at each other infatuatedly, our hearts are in harmony.
Suddenly, a "whooshing" sound came from the forest, which instantly aroused the vigilance of Feng Qingge and Xue Xichen. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of alertness. Feng Qingge nodded towards Xue Xichen, following the sound
Approach cautiously from the direction it came from.
Xue Xichen followed closely behind Feng Qingge, tiptoeing forward.
In front of his eyes, a cold light flashed. When he looked back, he found an ice-blue dart shot into the trees behind him.
There are endless fights in the forest, life and death.
"film!"
She heard Feng Qingge murmur, looked carefully, and sure enough found that the black figure was the Phantom.
Why is the Phantom here? Who is he fighting?
Looking at each other, they both saw the same confusion in the other's eyes. With a slight hesitation, Xue Xichen lowered her voice and asked Feng Qingge, "Do you want to help?"
"Ying's martial arts skills are unpredictable, and there are few opponents in the world. Although this person's martial arts is strong, he is definitely not Ying's opponent. Let's wait and see what happens."
Feng Qingge's trust in Phantom comes from her understanding of Phantom. Since he said this, Xue Xichen naturally believed it and said no more.
With a feint, he saw that the Phantom's long sword was going straight to the chest of the man in gray. The man in Gray jumped to dodge. Although his speed was fast, it was still slightly inferior to that of the Phantom. He only had time to dodge the fatal blow, but a long blood mark was still drawn on his chest.
Knowing that he was outmatched, the man in clothes took out a wax pill from his arms and threw it heavily on the ground. In an instant, clouds of smoke surged up, captivating the Phantom's eyes.
When the smoke dissipated, the man in gray had long disappeared.
Phantom frowned and was considering whether to pursue him. Feng Qingge and Xue Xichen walked out of the forest. Xue Xichen jumped up to Phantom in three steps and asked with concern: "Ying, are you not injured?"
"Xichen!" Phantom looked happy when he saw Xue Xichen. However, when he saw Feng Qingge again, his expression couldn't help but dim. He asked: "Xichen, why are you here with the prince?"
"We are here to climb the mountain."
Xue Xichen told the truth and felt that there was nothing to hide.
Feng Qingge asked: "Ying, why are you here? Who was the person you fought just now?"
Phantom replied: "Your Majesty, according to my investigation over the past few days, someone is secretly manufacturing ordnance in the capital. The man just now was an insider. I wanted to catch him and question him, but he escaped.
"
"Privately making weapons?!" Feng Qingge was surprised, "Who is so bold?! He was found out. This is a major crime against the nine tribes! Ying, what did you find out in your investigation?"
"My subordinate investigated the escort robbery incident and traced it to an iron mine in the south of the city. I discovered that someone was secretly casting armor. I wanted to hide in secret and wait for the person behind the scenes to appear, but instead the man in gray came. Subordinate
I followed him all the way, trying to find out this person's identity. Unexpectedly, this person was smart and discovered his subordinate, and also lured him to the mountains and forests, intending to intercept and kill him."
Xue Xichen accepted Phantom's words, "But he didn't expect that he was no match for you and was almost captured by you."
Phantom remained silent and acquiesced to Xue Xichen's words.
Feng Qingge asked: "Do you still remember where the weapons were made privately?"
Phantom replied: "I remember, my subordinate! However, since this person escaped, I'm afraid he has already gone back to report to the master. By the time we get there, the secret forging point is no longer there."
Feng Qingge said: "No matter what, we have to send someone to investigate in detail. Even if we can't catch the evidence, we still have to find out who owns this iron mine! Then follow the clues to find out the person behind the scenes!"
Phantom replied respectfully: "Yes! I will do it immediately!"
On a rare holiday, something like this happened. Thinking about it, Feng Qingge was no longer in the mood to climb the mountain. Xue Xichen said: "Phantom, why don't you lead the way? We'll go with you to see what's going on."
Feng Qingge was slightly surprised, "Now?" But in her heart, she was happy for Xue Xichen's decision.
"You have to strike while the iron is hot, right?" Xue Xichen smiled lightly and said calmly, "Qingge, you can climb Phoenix Mountain at any time, but the mastermind behind this must be caught while the iron is hot. Let's not waste time here.
Got it!"
"Okay!" It's rare that Xue Xichen is so considerate of him and considers him. How can he not satisfy the beauty's wishes? Feng Qingge said to Phantom: "Ying, lead the way! We will go with you!"
Phantom watched deeply as Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge looked at each other and smiled affectionately. He felt that his heart was sour and stuffy, as if it were filled with huge rocks, heavy and unpleasant.
