After a brief interlude, no one had any intention of sleeping. At this time, there was not much time left before dawn, and the breeze was even colder.
The cold sweat on Song Huaijiang's back had just finished. Before, he was really afraid that these unreasonable Jin Yi envoys would suddenly attack, and they would suffer.
Song Huaijiang made a rough estimate and found that this person's strength should be at the same level as his sect leader. There were only a few such people in the Shang Kingdom. For the sake of their two children, the court sent out such a person. What did their family do?
"It turns out that this is the trouble they were talking about. It is indeed a big trouble." Song Huaijiang remembered what Chen Mo said before.
"Grandpa Song." Chen Xingyun came over and sat with Song Huaijiang. "What will happen to them?"
"What else? Do you think they can escape being pursued by such a master?" Song Huaijiang asked, and in the end he could only say helplessly: "Maybe this is their fate."
"Grandpa, how about we go help them? Aren't we swordsmen who are chivalrous and righteous? I don't think Chen Mo and his brother and sister are bad people either." Song Liuhe walked over and said.
Song Huaijiang knew that this was definitely not just his intention.
"Help? How to help? You must have the same strength to help the strong and the weak." Song Huaijiang said helplessly.
...
Chen Mo was walking hurriedly on the winding road with Jiang Nu on his back. He had noticed someone following them behind him, which made him even more sure that they had been discovered. But he still did not choose the mountains and forests to get rid of that person's following. They were able to
Go to Chaoyang City as quickly as possible. Only when they get there will they have hope.
Chen Mo's speed at this time could no longer keep up with his speed in the mountains and forests, but he still gritted his teeth. He now regretted why he didn't shamelessly ask them for two horses, one would be fine.
Chen Mo felt that the wound on his body had opened again. If the bandage hadn't been tied tightly, perhaps the blood would have spurted out again.
Jiang You didn't talk to Chen Mo. She didn't want him to waste any energy. She only occasionally helped Chen Mo wipe the sweat from his face.
"Take a rest when you are tired." Jiang Nu asked a question to which he already knew the answer.
"No, someone is following me."
Chen Mo replied calmly. He had thought about getting rid of that person before, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. This place is not far from Chaoyang City. There is no need to waste time with the other party. Not to mention that he was injured, and that person might not be injured either.
Will fight with him.
Being followed?
Jiang Nu was shocked. In this pitch-black night, she couldn't even see clearly the things on both sides of the road, let alone people. Could it be that Chen Mo could see the night as if it were day? She had heard her uncle say that if one's martial arts reached a certain level,
It is true that he can see the night as day, could Chen Mo also do it?
That night when she was running for her life in the mountains, the bright moon hung high and the stars were dotted, and she could still see the road clearly. At that time, she didn't think that Chen Mo could do what he did now.
"Is it the envoy in brocade?"
Jiang Nu was naturally referring to the man by the lake.
"No." Chen Mo denied.
Before Jiang Nu could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Mo's next words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"I guess that person will be here soon."
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Jiang Nu asked three questions in his mind. The lucky escape by the lake last time was a blessing in misfortune. He thought that after so many days, they should get rid of it, but in the end those people still did not give up.
Yes, how could they give up? As long as their bodies have not been found, they will not give up even if they are still in the Shang Kingdom.
But they were about to arrive at Chaoyang City, so why was fate still playing tricks on them?
Maybe he was too optimistic. Even if they arrived in Chaoyang City, it would be in vain if those two people didn't meet their uncle.
Chen Mo only felt that his legs were filled with lead water and were extremely heavy. This made him feel like he was back to the night a few days ago, when he was running for his life in such a panic.
Now he even feels that in the beginning, he should have returned to Chu alone. Even if he was wanted at that time, he would not be in a worse situation than now. But there are so many what-ifs in the world. He didn't think about it at the beginning.
After returning to Chu State, he picked up Yan Yu and was able to walk on the road openly without all kinds of troubles. However, in exchange for this condition, the price was somewhat beyond Chen Mo's imagination.
Chen Mo stopped for two steps, put his hands on his knees, arched his waist, and panted heavily. His lungs felt like they were on fire. Even if the air he breathed in was cold, his throat felt hot.
The sweat on his face ran along his cheeks to his chin and dripped to the ground. Jiang Nu couldn't wipe it away no matter how hard he wiped it.
"Don't move." Chen Mo shouted and stopped Jiang Nu's movement to get off. He was afraid that once she came down, he would be more resistant and put her on his back again. Just like when he was just practicing martial arts and exercising his strength, once
Once you take off the load, you have to spend more perseverance to pick it up again.
Jiang Nu did not dare to resist Chen Mo's order and lay quietly on his back, feeling the heavy ups and downs of his body.
In less than a cup of tea, Chen Mo hugged Jiang Nu's legs tightly again, took steps full of lead, and once again flew on the road that didn't know how long it was.
Not long after Chen Mo set off with Jiang Nu on his back, Jiang Nu could vaguely see the sky in the distance in the east, which seemed to be slightly bright. Is it going to be dawn? Jiang Nu didn't know. She didn't even know how long they had been traveling like this.
, it seemed like a long time, it didn’t seem like that long, maybe the slight brightness was just an illusion caused by my eyes adapting to the darkness and my inner expectations.
.......
Today's breakfast was extremely early. The sky had just begun to light up, and Song Huai'an had already cooked rice porridge.
"Eat quickly, we'll be ready to go." Song Huaijiang urged. Normally, he didn't urge these children and only set off when they felt they were ready.
There was no way, a good face was ruined in front of him, but he was powerless, which made Song Huaian no longer in the mood to linger.
"Grandpa Song, are you still struggling with this matter?" Chen Xingyun came over and patted Song Huaijiang, who was in a bad mood. He knew the temperament of an old man who introduced him to the door. Although he was not a master, he was better than a master. He was especially for
For the sake of the sect, we often bring good seedlings into the sect.
"Don't bother me, old man." Song Huaijiang said angrily.
"What if they were not caught by that person, or they had already arrived at Chaoyang City before they were caught by that person? Since they said they were going to find someone there, they must be able to protect them. Since they are really worried
People should think in a good place." Chen Xingyun is really not too concerned about the outcome of Chen Mo and the two. After all, they just met by chance and have not reached the point where their lives are intertwined. This is a
normal phenomenon.
At this time, Jing Lushan also came over and said: "Old man, do you think that Chen Mo is stupid? When he was walking, he didn't know how to follow two horses. Wouldn't four legs be faster than his two legs? Could we still do it?
Caught them back to compensate for this? If anything happens to my sister Chen Nu, see if I don't throw his body into a small river ditch to feed the fish."
"Come on, you fat guy, don't talk sarcastically here. If you are so worried about them, why didn't you step forward and hold those people back for a while?" Jiang Yiyan, who was not far away, said coldly.
"If I had the strength of the sect master, you see, if I didn't beat you all over the place for your hard work, you wouldn't be able to get their turn to shout." Jing Lushan said with a look of disdain.
"Hey, why aren't you talking? Are you mute? Are you really pale?" Jing Lushan looked at Jiang Yiyan, who was dull, her eyes were dilated, and she was looking at him with a look of fear. No, she was looking at her back.
It seemed that no one was talking at this time.
Suddenly, a bead of sweat as big as a bean appeared on Jing Lushan's forehead and fell down his fat cheeks.
"Gulu" swallowed the saliva in his mouth with difficulty, hesitated for a while, and suddenly turned his head as if he had made a difficult decision.
A gust of early morning wind blew by.
Jing Lushan turned his head and looked around, using an action he had never used in his life. There was no one behind him, and then he only heard loud laughter.
"Jiang Yiyan, you old bitch, you dare to play tricks on me, you deserve to be unable to find a man." Jing Lushan still maintained that posture and cursed angrily, and suddenly a chill floated from his back, making him feel that he had evaporated.
Cold sweat broke out again.
"Sister, I was wrong, I just..."
Before Jing Lushan could finish his words, someone kicked him on his fat butt and rolled him directly to the ground. Then in this early morning, before the birds even started chirping, he heard a scream like a slaughtered pig.
Voice.
"Grandpa Song, you don't care, Senior Sister Jiang killed a fellow disciple!"
"Don't hit people in the face!"
"Ouch!"
Song Huaijiang didn't look at these two people, but looked at the white belly in the east, and sighed heavily.
.......
After turning a few corners, the sky was getting brighter and brighter. Chen Mo stopped. This was his fifth break. His clothes were soaked as if soaked in water. He raised his head too much and looked at a city in the distance in the wide field of vision.
Standing there, it seems to be waving to them.
"Is that Chaoyang City?"
Jiang Nu on his back also saw the blurry outline and shouted excitedly.
"It should be, let's go." Chen Mo took a few breaths and bumped Jiang Nao behind him. He was also somewhat thankful that the person following him didn't show up to stop him. His current state was extremely bad.
Taking steps again, heading towards the city under the rising sun.
Behind them, not far away, a dusty figure appeared, appearing right next to the man who was following Chen Mo.
"Sir, you are here, they are right there." The man pointed at the tiny figure in the distance.
"Haha, I finally found you." The man who was chasing him sneered, and his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a roll of dust.
