The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

[-]. Chiwu

--Danger.

It was instinct as well as the intuition of the body. When meeting the gloomy eyes of Assassin A, Xu Qingfeng felt the danger.

But this feeling actually gave him a sense of familiarity, every pore in his body wanted to open up, and he wanted to show his skills, but Xu Qingfeng didn't know what to do except hold the dagger.

Xu Qingfeng didn't move, Chen Ke stood in front of Xu Qingfeng, and calmly waited for the opportunity, the assassin was ready to move, his eyes were aggressive.

But especially at this time, the more you have to be calm and not impulsive, life and death can often be decided in a flash in a battle.

Chen Ke struck first. "Martial arts in the world, only fast can't break", Chen Ke pushed the sword with both hands horizontally, and the way of using the sword as a knife seemed unreasonable, but Assassin A did not despise it. The speed and strength displayed by Chen Ke were not inferior to him, very fast Quick Assassin A retreated temporarily under the intensive attack, but Chen Ke did not relax, forcing Assassin A to stay away from Xu Qingfeng.

Chen Ke thinks that martial arts are not bad, with good physical fitness and childhood training, coupled with long-term persistence, Chen Ke does have the capital of self-confidence, it is no exaggeration to say.

If he was one-on-one with Assassin A, Chen Ke was absolutely sure that he would win, but now that his right shoulder was injured, his chance of winning was only [-]%, and if he wanted to protect Xu Qingfeng, his chance of winning was only [-]%.

Seventy percent is not too little, but Chen Ke sees that under the fierce offensive, he still has room for reservations. For no other reason, Chen Ke is also observing Xu Qingfeng's performance.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Xu Qingfeng, but because he knows and grasps too little now, Chen Ke doesn't trust anyone, and even subconsciously doubts Xu Qingfeng.

When he was no longer the dying cripple lying on the sickbed, Xu Qingfeng could be seen wherever Chen Ke looked——

It was Chen Ke who kept Xu Qingfeng by his side to take care of him, but when Xu Qingfeng stayed quietly, his eyes were as bright as stars, just like a normal person. At this time, Chen Ke really wanted to know what Xu Qingfeng was thinking.

But Xu Qingfeng didn't take the initiative to speak, and he couldn't express clearly. He could only get a glimpse of his inner thoughts from simple movements and broken words.

The more you want to know, the more you will be moved by Xu Qingfeng's dependence.At this moment, Chen Ke told Xu Qingfeng not to move or talk, and Xu Qingfeng was really obedient, but the more obedient he was, the more it contrasted with his clear eyes.

Xu Qingfeng still stood quietly on the spot. Since he woke up, he often felt chaotic, his mind was so muddy that he couldn't think of anything, it was like turning into a tree, standing there, breathing the world, and living under his feet. It has roots, and its head is covered with leaves.

He could see Chen Ke fighting the assassin, and he could feel the tension, fear and pain, but all the feelings were as unreal as wrapped in a layer of paper.

Assassin A was also distracted to observe Xu Qingfeng. When he chased the target, he felt that this combination was a bit strange. Later, he realized that the thin man next to King Ren was silent and seldom moved. His eyes followed King Ren closely. Protect this skinny man.

If he hadn't seen the portrait of King Ren, Assassin A would even suspect that Xu Qingfeng was the real King Ren.But no matter what, today he will take the head of Renwang Chen Ke.

Chen Ke had no intention of continuing to circle around. After such a long time, there were no other assassins catching up. Zuo Ming and Guan Hongfeng should be arriving soon. Not wanting to cause trouble, Chen Ke opened the attack of the assassin armor and shook his arms at the same time. With full strength, he shook off Assassin A's soft sword, pushed forward with both hands, and the blade reached Assassin A's throat.

Assassin A leaned over and slapped Chen Ke's wrist with his fleshy palm. Chen Ke also threw his sword away and fought with only a pair of fleshy palms.

Only then did Assassin A realize that Chen Ke's level of force was far beyond his imagination, but it was not enough for him to ask the remaining four assassins for help.

With a dodge, Assassin A tried to distance himself from Chen Ke again, but Chen Ke didn't give it a chance. From fist to palm, from leg to toe, the attack was intensive, without giving Assassin A a break to breathe.

Assassin A was overturned to the ground, and rolled sideways to release most of his strength, and unexpectedly, he threw a hidden weapon at Xu Qingfeng.

Chen Ke didn't have time to intercept, but Xu Qingfeng dodged.A simple dodge to the right, clumsy footwork, but the quick response of the body is enough to surprise.

But Assassin A's second hidden weapon followed closely behind, slightly deviated from the direction of the first one, but went towards Xu Qingfeng's neck.

This time Xu Qingfeng didn't dodge it completely, but fortunately he only scratched his collar and opened a hole. The pendant on Xu Qingfeng's neck fell out, and he was hit to the ground by the third hidden weapon.

The three hidden weapons were already the limit of Assassin A's turn, and Chen Ke was also aroused into anger. He tiptoed the soft sword on the ground, and the soft sword flew towards Assassin A with fierce killing intent.

Assassin A dodged, a blueprint of the pendant and the secret anecdote that he could faintly hear flashed in his mind, and his body rushed out with a thought.

Suddenly speeding up and approaching Xu Qingfeng, he wanted to see the pendant on the ground, which seemed to be the same as the one that the organization had been investigating recently.

Perhaps it was too urgent, and after picking up the pendant on the ground, Assassin A realized his gaffe.

Before he had time to look closely at the things in his hand, Chen Ke was already approaching. Although Assassin A had doubts in his heart, his reaction was not slow.

"Ah, Wang, ah, return, me." Xu Qingfeng suddenly ran towards the two of them. This was the first sentence Assassin A heard Xu Qingfeng say, before he had time to carefully evaluate what he heard, Chen Ke shouted: "No Come here! Close your eyes!"

Xu Qingfeng subconsciously obeyed Chen Ke and stopped in place.Chen Ke, who had murderous intentions, did not hesitate too much. Within three moves, Assassin A had no time to regret that he did not call his companions.

Taking the pendant from Assassin A's hand, Chen Ke turned and walked towards Xu Qingfeng, and saw the little fool standing with his eyes tightly closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his expression was about to wrinkle together. The frowning and nervous expression successfully pleased Chen Ke, Can't help but chuckle.

Walking to Xu Qingfeng's side, "don't open your eyes yet." Chen Ke pulled Xu Qingfeng with his back to Assassin A's body, pulled him out for a while, and put the pendant into Xu Qingfeng's palm after making sure he couldn't see the bloody scene.

"Open your eyes..."

When Xu Qingfeng got the pendant, his expression was already stretched. He opened his eyes and looked at the pendant happily, and then looked up at Chen Ke. His eyes were full of dependence and trust, clear and clean, bright as stars.

Chen Ke couldn't help stretching out his hand, and straightened the broken hair on his forehead.

"Pain, pain?" Xu Qingfeng reached out to touch Chen Ke's right shoulder, but Chen Ke stopped his hand and signaled that it was okay, "Grandpa Quan is here."

As Chen Ke said, several figures appeared in the distance of the woods, and soon came to them. Eunuch Quan had already found him, and Zuo Ming was also beside him.

"My lord! Your subordinates are not well escorted, please punish me!"

"My lord! This slave is negligent, please punish him!"

"Okay, get up. Go see the assassin."

"Yes! Thank you, my lord!" Zuo Ming took his orders and went, and Eunuch Quan also said "Thank you, lord", and asked about Chen Ke's injury with concern. Chen Ke waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Big problem?"

Xu Qingfeng shook his head, stretched out his hand but didn't dare to touch Chen Ke, pointed to Chen Ke's right shoulder, and expressed vaguely: "It hurts. Here, it will hurt."

Eunuch Quan looked at Chen Ke and asked, "My lord?" But Chen Ke didn't respond, he just looked at Xu Qingfeng and didn't say anything.

Xu Qingfeng looked confused, Chen Ke looked very angry when he didn't speak, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes. Xu Qingfeng didn't like Chen Ke like this.

"Ah, king, ah?" Xu Qingfeng called Chen Ke tentatively, but Chen Ke still looked at him without speaking, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was dissatisfied or reminded.

Xu Qingfeng suddenly understood, pulled up his sleeves, and showed Grandpa Quan the blood-oozing gauze, "It hurts, here, too." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Ke. Sure enough, Chen Ke's expression became soothed. No matter how grim.

Chen Ke carefully inspected Xu Qingfeng's wound. Fortunately, there was not much blood oozing out, and the wound should not be dehiscated seriously. "If it hurts, tell me. Do you know?"

"I know." This time Xu Qingfeng replied without hesitation.

Here Chen Ke is still checking Xu Qingfeng's injuries, and there is not much communication between the two, and there are only brief answers.

However, Eunuch Quan stood on the side but couldn't get in the conversation, he stood on the side silently, but fortunately Zuo Ming came over at this time.

"My lord, I found a red tattoo resembling a sun on the assassin's left shoulder blade."

"Hmm... Chiwu?"

Chiwu, another name for the sun, is regarded as the totem of the sun god in many tribes in the northwest, and another saying "Jinwu" appears as a three-legged bird in many places. In "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing" It is recorded: "There is a buttress on the Tanggu, which arrives in one day and leaves in one day, all of which are recorded in Wu..." This is the auspicious beast that bears witness to the time and supports the red sun.

However, the tattoo on Assassin Armor's body is not a three-legged bird, but a simple and vivid figure composed of a ring and surrounding wavy flames.

But the tattoos on Assassin A have a special origin - they are the Heilongyang people who tried to unify the Central Plains a hundred years ago. They have a strong and brave army named "Chiwu Rapid March".

Yangren, who long for rich land and inexhaustible resources, have a strong attachment and longing for a peaceful life. Everyone in Chiwu’s rapid march has a steel-like will and absolute loyalty. They compare Chiwu to themselves and think that they are shouldering the burden. Carrying the great mission of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, so no one is behind the heart——

That is, the red sun is tattooed on the left shoulder blade, which is "Chiwu".It was just a hundred years ago in the Battle of Chasing Qi, the Chiwu Ji Marching Army was almost destroyed, leaving only various legends, is Assassin A really a member of the Chiwu Ji Marching Army?

"Did the previous assassins have any tattoos?"

"Go back to the prince, no. There are no signs or clues on the assassins who went ahead."

"Hmm." Chen Ke thought to himself, and Zuo Ming couldn't be sure. He repeatedly checked the assassin armor, but there were no other clues except tattoos. Central people."

This is not surprising to Chen Ke. A hundred years is enough for the Yang people to get close to the Han people and integrate into the Han people. The identity of the assassin A is of course important.

But this only provides a search direction, not to mention that the Chiwu Rapid March has disappeared for so many years.Who is going to assassinate him, and who knows his movements so clearly?

From Zhou Zhou to Emperor Jing, from Yangren to Chiwu’s rapid march, this historical thread a hundred years ago seems to be two completely different lines from today, but if you pull the thread to both sides, you will find that there is still a connection point—— —

Chen Ke's eyes fell on Xu Qingfeng again.
