cold branch low

Wen Renhuang never thought that it would be so difficult to get down to Qihuang Mountain, no wonder Qihuang Mountain can be used as a barrier between the two countries.He originally thought that it would be enough to just cross the mountains, swim across the river, and then walk through a small forest, but the truth is: when the peacock lifted his collar expressionlessly and flew up lightly, his screams had already resounded through the sky up.

Peacock's lightness skills are not as good as vultures and crows, which can be heard from their names, but usually only peacocks are on the mountain. I didn't know why before, but since I met the peacock serving Fengtian that night, Wen Renhuang seems to know Yes, so this time it is also the peacock sending Wenren Huang out of the mountain.

Wen Renhuang felt that in the end he was so frightened that his whole body was entangled with Peacock. At this time, there was no righteousness in his mind that Feng Tian's wife should not be bullied, only saving his life was the most important thing!Peacock's face became more and more gloomy.

The peacock was dressed in red and flew across the turbulent river. The wind blowing from the woods hit Wen Renhuang's face with pain. !

This river is very wide, and it is a natural barrier of Qihuang Mountain. The water flow is fast, and there are occasional huge carnivorous fish in the water, so generally few people will cross the river when they are not familiar with it.

When his feet finally set foot on the ground, Wen Renhuang was so moved that he knelt down and kowtowed to the peacock, but the peacock didn't have the slightest affection for him, and said coldly, "There's still a little way to go. I'll go back to the mountain after I'm done."

Wen Renhuang shuddered, it sounded like he was going to die.

The two walked in the forest, and the fallen leaves under their feet made a rustling sound.Peacock walked and said to him: "It's the first time you go down the mountain, Fengtian wants me to tell you, if you enter the court, you will go to the prime minister's mansion to find crows; To protect yourself, your own life is more important than anything else."

Wen Renhuang nodded one by one, this is really what Peacock talked to him the most, if it wasn't for Fengtian's order, Peacock probably wouldn't even look at him.As soon as he thought about Peacock's attitude towards him, Wen Renhuang thought of what Ye Fengtian said that "he is different", and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Peacock looked at him impatiently and said, "Did you listen to me?"

Wen Renhuang was startled, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I'm listening, I'm listening! I remember everything you said!"

Hearing this answer, Peacock was in a better mood, so he continued: "Remember, Qihuang Mountain has opponents. These people are against the court, so they hope to wipe out Qihuang Mountain, so that the court will not predict the emperor's death." So you must be careful in everything, there are people who want to kill Phoenix everywhere."

Wen Renhuang had hardly heard of these things when he was around Fengtian since he was a child, and he couldn't help but look up at the peacock in a daze when he heard it for the first time: "Then...why don't we resist, as if we are very weak."

Peacock sneered: "Who says you can't resist? How easy it is to kill a few ordinary people, but you..."

He glanced at Wen Renhuang and fell silent.

Wen Renhuang knew in his heart that every Phoenix is ​​proficient in spiritual power, and it is indeed easy to kill ordinary people, but he...he has been unable to use spiritual power since seven years ago.

"But you don't have to worry too much. There are many people who want to kill Phoenix, and there are many people who want to protect Phoenix. Most people in the court are still looking forward to Phoenix." Peacock said slowly, "You just need to ensure that you are alive. You don't have too much to ask for."

Wen Renhuang replied in a low voice: "Well, I see, thank you Peacock."

The peacock didn't speak, but walked ahead dutifully.Wen Renhuang knew that the garrison of the imperial court came out of this forest. In order to protect Qihuang Mountain, Emperor Longbao deployed troops outside the several natural barriers of Qihuang Mountain, which really turned Qihuang Mountain into a difficult place. The Holy Land to conquer.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sun was almost setting. Wen Renhuang sighed bitterly, "Why is it so far away, can we really go out tonight?"

Peacock snorted disdainfully: "If it weren't for your ignorance and delicate body, I would have gone out a long time ago.

Wen Renhuang frowned, but he held back what he wanted to say, and said in silence for a long time: "Peacock, do your light work, I can keep up, so I can hurry up."

Can a weak chicken keep up with me?Peacock sneered in his heart, did he really think my qinggong was bad? "Well, if you lose it, I won't look back."

After saying that, the man with the long sleeves has already galloped out.Wen Renhuang narrowed his eyes and looked at the red figure in the distance, sighed, and chased after him luckily.

Wen Renhuang was unable to practice spiritual power for seven years, but he was not wasted in other aspects. Feng Tian taught him martial arts himself, and the frustration of not being able to use spiritual power made him study other things even harder.

"Peacock - get out of the way!"

Wen Renhuang's breathing almost stopped at that moment, and he roared out desperately!Not far away, the man in gray was holding a crossbow in his hand, and was facing the smear of red in front of him. Seeing the peacock's expression froze, Wen Renhuang jumped to push the peacock away, and was almost shot by the flying crossbow.

"hateful!"

Peacock stopped and stared fiercely at the surroundings. It was unknown when they had been surrounded by a group of men in gray.Wen Renhuang frowned and looked at the pursuer who had already appeared, and asked, "Who is here!"

"Heh, why bother to ask them, who else is there to assassinate in such a sneaky way except Heiluan?" Peacock sneered, and quickly grabbed the double swords hidden in his waist with both hands and rushed towards one of them.The movement skills of these people are still a bit slow compared to Peacock, but if they all focus on him alone, he will not be able to bear it.After the peacock's sudden attack wiped a person's neck, the remaining people surrounded him skillfully.

Wen Renhuang looked at the peacock surrounded by four or five people but still managed to do it with ease. He felt admiration in his heart, and shouted: "You little bastards, you are dying! Today I will let you kill the young master's sword!"

After saying that, he flew forward, and the young man swung his sword out of its sheath, his figure was as mysterious as a wandering ghost, and even the peacock showed a surprised expression.Wen Renhuang was not as proficient in how to kill with one blow as Peacock. While avoiding the attack of the man in gray, he found the opening and stabbed there, and even repelled two or three people in a few moves.

The peacock stared fiercely at the other party, as long as he could kill the other party, he would not let him go. In a blink of an eye, there was only one gray-clothed man around them.

The man bowed and took a dozen steps back, looking warily at the person who was chasing him.Suddenly turned over and jumped, and sprinkled a handful of white powder at them!

The peacock stopped abruptly, grabbed Wen Renhuang to cover his mouth and nose, cursed and jumped behind him.

Wen Renhuang immediately held his breath, it seemed that this man had no intention of fighting any more and only wanted to run for his life, "Peacock, what are these people doing!" He asked impatiently as soon as he stopped.

Peacock looked thoughtfully at the direction where the place disappeared, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe Heiluan's spies, it would be the best to take our lives, if not, it is theirs to bring our appearance and martial arts routines back to the headquarters." Task."

Wen Renhuang clenched the sword in his hand and said, "Are they our enemies?"

Peacock said contemptuously: "Otherwise, do you think we were fighting with our friends just now?"

Wen Renhuang shook his head and said: "If I knew this was the case, I would not show mercy. When I made the move, I weighed my propriety and didn't take their lives."

"Hmph, the benevolence of a woman!" Peacock glanced at him and withdrew his swords.

Wen Renhuang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and continued on his way with Peacock.After the experience of being attacked just now, he paid more attention to his surroundings, and he would stare there for a long time whenever there was any disturbance, he didn't want to die in this forest before he was born.

Contrary to Wen Renhuang, Peacock seemed to relax a bit.Peacock hadn't thought that this good-for-nothing could be good at swordsmanship before, and that flexible routine was not something everyone could do, so he wasn't useless after all.In this way, even the expression on his face became gentler, and Wen Renhuang was flattered by the change of tone when talking to Wen Renhuang several times.

"You have to remember that when you enter the court, you don't have to pay the prince, and you don't enter the Heiluan Palace. All Phoenixes know this."

Alright, Wen Renhuang slowly walked out of the woods alone, the peacock was no longer around him.He looked up at the big moon in the sky, and said melancholy, it took so long to get out of the mountain, if he knew it, he would have left the next night, now at least he can find a place to stay before dawn.

He never expected that he would be safe after repelling a wave of assassins, but Wen Renhuang, who was looking at the sky, was obviously too young to understand the dangers of the world, and Peacock also left too early. He didn't expect a second wave of assassins arrive.

Before he had time to call for help, Wen Renhuang only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and the last sight in his eyes was the brightly lit military camp that was almost within reach not far away.
