Junruo Qingcheng

Lian Chengbi smiled: "Thank you."

After the guy walked away, Lian Chengbi gritted his teeth and lowered his voice to the back: "Do you still want to leave the city?"

Qi Heng has lost the ability to speak, his head nodding like a rattle.

Lian Chengbi said: "We were arrested before you left the city like this!"

Qi Heng said with difficulty: "Then, what should we do then?"

"Relax! Normal people are fine."

"I... am I abnormal?"

......

Lian Chengbi suddenly felt that she was abnormal.

Chapter 4

It was the first time that he stepped out of Bianjing City with a breeze in his sleeves. From the moment he stepped out of the city gate, Qi Heng actually felt that the air had become fresher.

"Lien Shaoxia, we're out!"

Lian Chengbi nodded lightly, "Just in case someone in the team suspects it, let's go further."

Qi Heng was not as nervous as before, but started chatting with the old brother Guo at the back.

"Brother Guo, how long does it take you to travel to Yangzhou?"

Brother Guo smiled and said: "At least ten days or so, and it will take more than 20 days to go back and forth, little brother, are you afraid of being tired?!"

Qi Heng shook his head and smiled, "Not afraid."

Brother Guo said again: "Good job, but you have to think about it, the caravan of our winery is divided into two, it would be nice to have a month's rest after one month's work!"

Although it is my own storefront, the balance of these systems is not clear, and now I listen to Brother Guo talking about it, and I listen to it with gusto.

Qi Heng asked casually, "How much wages can I give?"

"Salary, the boss is so rich!" Brother Guo said, patting the purse on his waist, and it was bulging. "We even give us some bonuses on weekdays. The life of my wife, children and mother is much better than before!"

It was rare to see a little flush on his tanned face, and his brimming smile was filled with happiness and contentment, Qi Heng looked quite touched.

While talking, I suddenly heard a 'whoosh'!

Brother Guo's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, full of unwillingness and pain, and thick blood dripped from the corner of his mouth without warning.

Qi Heng hurriedly caught his slowly falling body, at a loss: "Brother Guo, you... what's wrong with you!"

His hand felt a wave of damp heat and an arrow on the back of Old Brother Guo...

Just hearing the sound of breaking wind in my ears, murderous aura is lingering!

"Dodge!" Lian Chengbi grabbed Qi Heng's shoulder and dragged him back quickly, trying to avoid the rain of arrows.

The caravan was in a mess for a while, fleeing and hiding, screaming one after another.

Lian Chengbi took Qi Heng to hide behind a rock, and only then had a chance to breathe.

Qi Heng hadn't come out of the sudden situation just now at all, and sat there stupidly, looking at the blood on his hands, he couldn't believe that the person who was talking to him alive one moment ago, was alive the next moment. Then die before him.

Like... what can he do when he's not dying for...

"He... he's dead?" Qi Heng muttered softly with a pale face, what should I do... what should I do.

Qi Heng looked at the only person next to him who could help him, his pupils shrank suddenly, "You...you are injured!"

Lian Chengbi cast a glance at him, raised his hand to touch the sharp arrow that pierced the shoulder blade from behind, and pulled it out without frowning, blood instantly stained his skirt.

His brows frowned slightly, and his face lost all color. Apart from that, he didn't even groan in pain, as if he wasn't the one who was injured.

Qi Heng frantically took out the medicine Lian Chengbi gave him last time, "Yes, there is medicine, please apply it quickly."

"Don't make a sound!"

Lian Chengbi sternly shouted, Qi Heng immediately stopped talking, not knowing what to do.

Horseshoes sounded loudly outside, and a businessman tried to resist. When he saw the enemy outnumbered, he fled in embarrassment, but he couldn't escape his death after all.

His body fell beside the stone, and the butcher's knife in his hand just happened to fall at Lian Chengbi's feet.

Knowing that Lian Chengbi was hiding behind a rock, He Lianqiu pointed at him and shouted, "Lian Chengbi! You have nowhere to escape! Let the young man go, maybe you will be left alive."

Qi Heng heard it clearly, and seeing that Lian Chengbi was seriously injured, it was also because of his own drag, he had to do something!

As soon as he was about to stand up, Lian Chengbi firmly held his shoulders.

He said, "Is it your turn to save my life?"

Lian Chengbi picked up the butcher's knife, "Stay still."

Qi Heng didn't know what was going on outside, he could only hear the sound of fighting and screams, one after another.

Until Lian Chengbi stood in front of him covered in blood, like Shura, it was scary.

Lian Chengbi looked at him condescendingly, and stretched out a hand, "Do you have anything on you that can prove your identity?"

Qi Heng's mind went blank, subconsciously following what Lian Chengbi said, he took out a jade pendant.

Lian Chengbi took it and walked out again.

Qi Heng came back to his senses belatedly, stood up with the support of the stone, the scene outside shocked him again, it is not an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river.

There are dead people everywhere on the ground, people with caravans, and those officers and soldiers later, but within half an hour... so many people died...

He found the figure of Lian Chengbi, who was dragging several dead people onto a cart, lit a torch and threw it on top.

Lian Chengbi looked back and saw Qi Heng staring at him in a daze, unable to tell whether it was fear or disgust in his eyes, he threw away the knife in his hand, patted the dust on his hand and said: "You are free, even if they look for it, they will only find one A charred body of the young prince."

Qi Heng shook his head lightly, "No, that's not me..."

He didn't want his freedom to be traded like this...

A few more horses came running in the opposite direction, and without waiting to stop, the riders dismounted and knelt down in front of Lian Chengbi.

"It's too late!"

Lian Chengbi ignored the subordinates who rushed over, but looked at Qi Heng standing there stubbornly with interest, and said clearly, "That's your business, the deal between us has already been completed." It ends here."

These words exploded over Qi Heng's head like a thunderbolt. At this moment, he suddenly realized that they were just taking advantage of each other.

"Leave him a fast horse, and let's go."

The horse's hoof kicked up a cloud of dust, and the figure of the man walked farther and farther in the dust.

Qi Heng blinked his dry eyes, held the horse's rein in a daze, "Say, where are you going?"

He is free, but where can he go?

He looked back at the burning fire and the corpses all over the ground.

He can't blame anyone, he just laughs at how ridiculous the world is.

It's ridiculous that the peaceful and prosperous world in front of him is fake...

Qi Heng gave a faint chuckle, and got on his horse, "Let's go, wherever we go, let's see how to distinguish between good and evil in this world."

And behind him is the direction in which Lian Chengbi left.

Qi Heng rode a horse, stopped and stopped, picked fruit to eat when he was hungry, drank cold stream water when thirsty, stopped when he passed the village, took a look at the local customs, and listened to the gossip of the people homely.

Only at this time does he feel alive.

The third village he passed by was very different from the previous two villages. There was no laughter, no gossip, and the road was deserted. Occasionally, a poorly dressed person would pass by and look at him warily.

The more Qi Heng walked in, the more chilling he became.

There is not a single intact house here, and the people are all huddled under the eaves, skinny. In their eyes, Qi Heng sees more fear and vigilance.

Just as Qi Heng wanted to approach a person to ask for directions, that person ran away in a hurry as if he had seen a ghost.

The unkempt little girl cried and ran to everyone and knocked on the door, crying: "Is there any food, my mother is hungry... please give me something to eat!"

But no one opened the door, and no one wanted to open the door.

Qi Heng took his own food from the saddle, and called softly to the little girl, "Come here, here are some pancakes."

The little girl saw him, the black eyes on her dark face were extraordinarily bright, and she was timid to approach him.

Qi Heng took out the biscuits, "I'm not a bad person."

Perhaps it was because the big brother really didn't look like a bad guy, so the little girl put down her guard and slowly approached. After getting the biscuits, the little girl ran away in a hurry.

Qi Heng smiled helplessly, and when he stood up and was about to leave, the villager who was still huddled in the house just now came out, looking eagerly at the biscuits in Qi Heng's hand.

"You...do you want to eat?"

……

Inside Wugou Villa.

Sitting in front of the hall, Lian Chengbi sipped tea and listened to the spies report to him.

Lian Chengbi said: "Where did Gao go?"

The spy replied: "Jiangnan!"

"Jiangnan..." Lian Chengbi thought about it carefully, then said to himself, "Jiangnan speaks volumes, Liu Qingqing."

"Prepare the horse immediately, it's time to meet him."

Qin An under the hall stepped forward and said: "Master, my subordinates will go with you!"

The last time Lian Chengbi went to Bianjing alone, but he almost failed to come out. Those people in the court were very treacherous, Qin An was worried that Lian Chengbi would take another risk.

Lian Chengbi did not refuse, nodded and said: "Call Zhao Danyang, let's go together."

They set off on the same day, riding horses and galloping all the way, day and night, and resting on the spot when they were tired, but in five days, half of the distance had already been covered.

Qin An came back from exploring the road, "Master, there are often horse thieves in front of us, one more thing is worse than one less thing, let's take a detour."

Lian Chengbi frowned and said, "It will take three more days to make a detour, if you don't make a detour, keep going."

Lian Chengbi usually said one thing, Qin An and Zhao Danyang knew it well, and they didn't persuade them any more. They got on the horse, and the three continued on their way.

The village in front was billowing with black smoke. When we got closer, this small village looked as if it had just been raided by horse thieves.
