The tall man kneeling at his feet was pale, and the sweat on his forehead had flowed to his lips.
Just a moment ago, his companion, who was planning to rob the person in front of him, had his brains flowed out from the crack in his head, and he died tragically at the scene.
Who is the person in front of me? How could he be so vicious?
Thinking that he might end up like this, the tall man's heart completely collapsed.
"Snatch it, grab it."
"Where is the person you robbed? Where is he now?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
The guqin, which Ouyang Xiaoke treasured as much as his life, can be held in the hands of others, and it goes without saying that it can be snatched away. What's more, how valuable can a guqin be? Does it need to be so secretive?
What they were covering up was not the guqin, but the robbery behind the guqin.
"I don't know, we knocked him unconscious and threw him in a wasteland outside the city."
"When did it happen?" Xiao Chen's gaze shot towards the other party like a sharp sword.
Ouyang Xiaoke's family all died at his own hands. But they were all sinners of the imperial court, and they deserved their punishment. He had no regrets whatsoever.
But this Ouyang Xiaoke is completely different from their family members. He is just a man who is trapped by love, living decadently and living an ignoble existence.
Xiao Chen did not approve of his attitude towards life. But for his experience, Xiao Chen still felt a little sympathy in his heart.
For the rest of his life, he just lived in his memories, but he never thought that this guqin, which was full of memories, would bring him undue disaster.
If you don't know about this, that's fine.
Today, when he meets his own arms, he will administer justice to him.
"Yesterday, the second half of yesterday." Lowering his head, the tall man's legs could not help but tremble.
"Get up and take me there. If you can't find him, think about your own fate." Xiao Chen slowly turned around.
The man climbed up tremblingly, glanced at the corpse of his companion next to the mill, lowered his head, and walked out of the alley.
The street was bustling with people, and the man had an idea of escape.
"Be honest, if you try to escape, I will kill you on the spot." A voice came from behind.
No need to think about it, it is also the voice of the "God of Killing".
He threw the man into the wasteland last night. If he didn't die, he would have left. Now go look for him. What are the chances of finding him?
If you can't find him, you will be beaten to death.
Thinking of this and looking at the gate of Baoding City not far away, the man seemed to see a glimmer of life.
As long as he stayed in front of the defenders at the city gate, the man had nothing to do with him. If he dared to take action by force, he would shout loudly and reveal the fact that he had committed the murder.
Anyway, if you are going to die, it is better to let the fish die and the net be broken.
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and followed closely behind the man, unaware that the other man had already begun to dig another hole for himself.
At the gate of the city, although there were not as many people going in and out as there were early in the morning, there were still quite a few.
And today, the soldiers guarding the city happened to be the two soldiers who blackmailed Xiao Chen's army and horses.
As if he didn't see the other party, Xiao Chen was ready to leave the city.
The two horses slapped Dongchang in the face. To regain the lost face, it was not just a matter of casually cleaning up the soldiers guarding the city.
The entire Baoding City Guards has been included in Dongchang's hit list.
The man who had just walked out of the city gate suddenly rushed towards the guard soldier next to him, hid behind him, and looked away, as if he and Xiao Chen had never known each other before.
"You really dare to sing this for me." Looking at the other party's actions, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
I originally thought that as long as I find Ouyang Xiaoke, I will give you a way to survive. This is your own death, no wonder I don't keep my word.
"Come here and continue to lead the way." Raising his right hand, Xiao Chen stretched out two fingers and lightly hooked them.
The sergeant guarding the city was also disturbed by Xiao Chen's words.
He turned his head and saw Xiao Chen's gesture, thinking it was provoking him, and couldn't help but get furious.
Pointing to the tip of his nose with his right hand, he looked at Xiao Chen disdainfully: "Are you calling me?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen pointed at the man behind him.
Today, my target is not the Guards Army, and I really am in no mood to argue with a Guards Army soldier.
The soldier turned around and glanced at the tall man hiding behind him. As if nothing had happened, he held the spear in his hand tightly and looked at the hurried passers-by who came in and out.
The tall man hid behind the soldier, but did not come out.
Since I chose to disobey, if I go out now, I'm afraid the end won't be much better.
He felt around in his arms, found out a piece of silver, and lightly touched the defender's waist.
The soldier turned around and was about to get angry. When he saw the white money, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He took the silver, turned around and yelled at Xiao Chen: "This is my brother. If you touch him, you will get in trouble with the guards. You can leave if you have the sense."
Xiao Chen was startled. He was dressed like a scholar and was really not suitable for fighting with others. But could the soldiers guarding the city not see the situation clearly?
He is looking for Ouyang Xiaoke. Not to mention a soldier, even if their guard Qianhu comes, he can't stop his intention.
"Come out and continue to lead the way." Xiao Chen repeated lightly.
The soldier frowned, this man actually didn't give him face?
At that moment, the spear in his hand was passed forward, and the rusty spearhead was pointed at Xiao Chen.
"Go away. If you don't go away, don't blame me for taking you down."
A blue figure flashed through the air, followed by a muffled groan. The spears of the defenders had already fallen to the ground, and their whole bodies flew towards the thick Baoding city wall like a ball.
With a "bang", the helmet on the head was smashed to pieces, and the head on the shoulders had disappeared. There were only pieces of flesh, blood, brains and bone residue, which were smeared on the city wall.
This sudden change caused the people nearby to scream loudly and run away.
When another soldier saw this situation, he had already dropped his spear and ran towards the city.
I don’t know if he went to call someone or ran for his life.
Xiao Chen picked up the spear on the ground and threw it at the running soldier.
As if it had eyes, the spear whizzed away with a sharp sound, passing through the soldier's back and dragging him towards a shop on the street. With a "bang", the whole person was shaken.
It was nailed to the green brick wall next to the shop.
The tall man stayed where he was, motionless.
He even dares to kill the soldiers guarding the city. Who is this person?
With such a high level of skill, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He did something unscrupulous in his previous life, and he actually offended such a murderous god.
As if nothing had happened, Xiao Chen opened the paper fan in his hand with a "pop" sound, shook it gently, and walked to the man's side.
"Let's go, lead the way." A faint voice, like a reminder, reached the man's ears.
No longer making any sound, the man was like a puppet, with his head lowered and his legs mechanically moving, slowly walking towards the outside of the city.
There was already chaos at the city gate behind them.
As if all this had nothing to do with him, Xiao Chen followed the man closely, occasionally tilting his head to look at the scenery on both sides of the official road.
A little south of Baoding City, there flows a river called Qingyuan River.
The not-so-wide river bed is filled with pebbles of different sizes.
On both sides of the river bed, large tracts of reeds sprouted new shoots more than a foot high. The reeds that had dried up last year were struggling to grow upward, looking for life.
The man kept silent and walked silently along the river bed.
At this moment, his heart was filled with despair. If it weren't for the thought of survival, he would probably faint on the side of the road.
Looking at such a desolate and remote place, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
Why would a person go to a place like this with his guqin in his arms? Is it possible that only desolate places are worthy of Ouyang Xiaoke's despairing attitude towards life?
Above a large reed swamp, the man stopped and pointed down: "We threw him down there."
This is a high embankment, with a drop of about one foot. Even with Ouyang Xiaoke's frail body, he would have fallen unconscious just by being thrown from here.
In the previous robbery, if he had tried hard to protect Gu Qin, it would have been impossible for the other two men not to attack him.
It's not certain whether you can survive if you throw it down.
"Did you throw it from above?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.
