Suya

For such an important thing, Li Xiruo would definitely wear it on his body carefully, and it would never be easily stolen by others. However, the jade itself is of high quality and fine workmanship, and it can even be said to be exquisitely crafted, so it is unlikely to be counterfeit.

It seems that what this person said is true, but Feng Chen still vaguely felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while. After thinking about it, he asked: "The national teacher didn't mention this matter before. , why do you suddenly want to do this?"

"Huifeng General, the matter of transporting grain and grass was only ordered yesterday."

"Yesterday? The transportation of grain and grass is a big deal. It's never something that can be done immediately. Why did you finish the discussion yesterday and implement it today?"

"This..." The man was a little overwhelmed by the question, pulled his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said: "The villain's status is low, and he has no right to interfere with the affairs of the court, so there are various reasons for this." , the villain is not very clear, but the country is not very peaceful recently, so it may be helpless to transport grain and grass in such a hurry."

"Well, yeah..."

Feng Chen thought about it carefully, and felt that Liguo was really not peaceful recently. It seemed that apart from the threat of closing the country, Liguo himself had some problems, and the situation was even beyond Li Xiruo's control. It would be best if he was assassinated The evidence, as well as the people he met in Zhushe a few days ago, really made him very concerned.

The current situation is unclear, the food and grass may be transported to the military camp for storage, if there is chaos in Liguo and the food road is cut off, the army will not be in trouble immediately due to lack of food.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little more at ease, the previous doubts might really be my own overthinking, Feng Chen put the jade pendant in his arms, and said to the man: "Take us there."

Out of the city gate, there is a wilderness. There are fewer and fewer houses on both sides of the road, replaced by more and more luxuriant vegetation. The group of people gradually moved away from the town, and soon even the blue-black smoke that rose high up became illegible.

The more Feng Chen walked, the more strange it became - the terrain was getting higher and higher, it didn't look like leading to a ferry, but rather like going to a deep mountain.

The person who led the way seemed to see Feng Chen's doubts, and said: "There is a deep canyon in this mountain. Below the canyon is the 'Lebi River'. The river is wide and never freezes all year round. It connects from south to north.' The two major water systems of Baike' and 'Xuanyan River' can be regarded as natural canals, starting from here, it only takes one day to reach Wancheng."

"En." Feng Chen nodded.He doesn't know much about the rivers in Liguo, and he doesn't know if what this person said is true or not, but since he was sent by Li Xiruo, he probably wouldn't lie to himself, so he didn't worry anymore, and he drove forward to the mountains go.

Walking and walking, everyone came to an open space. This place seemed to be deserted, and there were no traces of people around, let alone a village.

Looking around, there is a large piece of bare flat land nearby, and the endless forest sea in the distance, where there is no shadow of the river.

A strange feeling rose in Feng Chen's heart, he exchanged glances with Feng Xiao, and slowly grasped the sword on his waist.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer. It seemed that many people were riding towards here. Soon, a white figure appeared in Feng Chen's sight, mixed with In the boundless green, it is particularly eye-catching, and there are four or five people behind, also riding on the horse, galloping almost like flying, the mud splashing under the horse's hooves, scattered like thousands of stars.

The horse came galloping, the person on the horse pulled the rein hard, neighed, the horse stopped, and stopped in front of Feng Chen and the others.

The two leading the way got off their horses immediately, walked up quickly, knelt down and saluted: "National teacher."

Li Xiruo waved his hand, and the two got up and retreated behind him.

There were five people who came together with Li Xiruo. These people were dressed in common people's clothes, with swords attached to their waists, and they looked at them expressionlessly. Feng Chen recognized several of them, and they were all from Niling Palace. people.

Feng Chen was a little confused by the scene in front of him: "Xi Ruo, what's going on?"

Li Xiruo looked at him and smiled lightly: "Of course I'm here to see you off."

Feng Chen: "Send off in this deep mountain and old forest? And still use this kind of battle?"

Li Xiruo didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile on his face, and said: "I have something to say to you alone." After speaking, he glanced at the person behind Feng Chen.

Feng Chen was almost dizzy from that smile.In his impression, Li Xiruo smiled a few times, but basically it was a shallow smile, and often the smile was not showing his teeth, and he competed with the girl. Today, he suddenly smiled so brightly, it is really abnormal and cannot be more abnormal .

He turned around and gave Feng Xiao some instructions to let them go first.

Li Xiruo turned his face sideways and nodded to the people behind him. The three of them drove forward, two of them walked the way they came, and the other made a gesture of invitation to Feng Xiao and the others, and Feng Xiao turned around. He glanced at Feng Chen, reined in his horse, and followed, and the other soldiers also followed.

For a while, the sound of horseshoes came and went, and after a while, it was completely hidden in the jungle.

Feng Chen, Li Xiruo and the remaining two followers all dismounted.

Li Xiruo put his hand on the sword at his waist.

With a sound of "Hang", a silver light suddenly appeared, and the long sword was unsheathed.

After several crisp sounds, the other two also drew their swords, and quickly moved to both sides, surrounding Feng Chen in the middle.

Feng Chen instinctively took a step back and pressed down on the sword, but when he thought that the opponent was Li Xiruo, he put his hand down again and said, "Is your way of saying goodbye a bit too special?"

Li Xiruo tilted her head: "This way is a farewell, naturally the more special the better."

Feng Chen almost suspected that he heard it wrong, he felt that even if he was struck by lightning at this moment, he might not be so shocked.

Li Xiruo stopped talking, held the sword in his hand, and rushed forward, the rabbit raised and fell, extremely agile, but in an instant, he came to Feng Chen, with a wave of his arm, the silver-white sword was blown with wind. Straight to Feng Chen's throat, Feng Chen really didn't have the mood to joke anymore, he hurriedly leaned over, barely dodging.

The attendants on both sides saw the timing, rushed over, stabbed Feng Chen's back horizontally with one sword, and blocked Feng Chen's chest with the other. To Feng Chen, Feng Chen was trapped between the two swords and had nowhere to hide.

Seeing that Li Xiruo's sword was about to pierce his eyebrows, he had no choice but to draw out Su Ye sword and swung it to the right forcefully. The person on the right couldn't dodge it in time, and a long bloody mouth was drawn on his stomach, and the blood gushed out. When he came out, the man couldn't stand stably and fell to the ground. The long sword in his hand came out and fell to the ground.

Feng Chen immediately lay back, and Li Xiruo's sword brushed against his forehead, almost piercing into the ground, he reacted in time, immediately returned his hand, retracted the sword, and changed the stab into a slash, as if he wanted to cut off Feng Chen's body directly. Feng Chen grabbed the hand of the man on the left and lifted it upwards. The sword lying on his chest turned and stabbed at Li Xiruo. He chopped off at the waist, so he had no choice but to raise his hand to retract the sword and avoid it backwards.

After stabilizing his figure, Li Xiruo patted the dust on his body, looked at the blood on his clothes, frowned, raised his head and said to Feng Chen: "I knew it would not be so easy to kill you."

Feng Chen sat on the ground, holding the sword in one hand, and pinching the wrist of the entourage with the other. It seemed that he had used a lot of strength. The veins in his hand were bulging, and the fingertips were turning white. The entourage was holding his hand, sweating profusely. The face was almost contorted together in pain.

Li Xiruo looked at the attendant, smiled wryly, and said, "Let go of him first, if you pinch him, his hand will be broken."

Feng Chen looked at him calmly for a while, frowned, closed his eyes for a moment, then, as if venting his anger, he threw the man out forcefully.

The man rolled over on the ground a few times and was covered in mud. He stood up clutching his wrists, looked at Feng Chen angrily, and walked to Li Xi Ruo's side.

Li Xiruo held the sword and stood on the spot, her white robes fluttering in the wind. Although the clothes were covered with blood, it couldn't conceal the brilliance of her body.

He looked down at Feng Chen with a calm and calm expression.

If it wasn't for the fight before, Feng Chen would have thought that the two of them were just here, looking at the green water and green mountains, while expressing their reluctance to each other.

"Are you really going to kill me?" Feng Chen felt indescribably uncomfortable, as if blocked by a stone, he couldn't even breathe.

"Yes."

"why?"

Li Xiruo swiped his sword lightly on the ground, walked up to him, smiled very softly, and said, "King Feng asked me to kill you, I have no choice."
