chapter 63
In the wilderness, Wu Gen and Yu Chuji trekked hard.
The journey was quite hard and full of displacements, but Chuji never complained about hardship once. At such a young age, he was able to endure such a difficult journey.
Lying on Wu Gen's back, he waved his little hand from time to time, and two small cyclones appeared, blowing so hard that Wu Gen couldn't open his eyes, and Chu Ji started to giggle.
Chu Ji is still young now and doesn't know how powerful her talent is. When she gets older, if she can reach the threshold of Qi training, this natural method of controlling Qi flow may be a trump card for her.
Wu Gen also discovered that, as Mu Ji said, Chu Ji was very sensitive to changes in breath, and could feel the fog seeping out from the ground from a distance, reminding himself to avoid it.
Moreover, the little guy's eyesight is very good, and he can even spot the little mice and rabbits hiding in the grass. In this way, Wu Gen saved a lot of energy, and the two of them did not have to worry about running out of food on the road.
Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little anxious after walking for many days but still not meeting anyone. If it was just him, that's all. There was still Chu Ji by his side, so he had to find a way out for her, otherwise he wouldn't be letting her down.
Meet Yu Shou's expectations.
After thinking about it, Wu Gen prepared to send Chu Ji to Shui Congyue after leaving the Xingluoyuan. After all, he was a nobleman, so raising this child would not be a problem.
After walking for a few more days, Lin Ruoshi's sword energy in his body had been smoothed away, and Wu Gen's body finally recovered, but there was still no trace of the convoy. With no hope of moving forward, Wu Gen decided to return and turned eastward.
While walking, Chu Ji suddenly patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the sky and said, "There is a strange bird there."
I looked up and saw a crow circling in the sky in the distance. When I got closer, the crow's red eyes were so eye-catching that it was obviously a vicious bird raised by Yun Ming.
Wu Gen was refreshed, and he suddenly felt that the crow, which he usually looked disgusting with, was now so amiable. If it hadn't been for this guy who refused to let go, Wu Gen would have really wanted to hug it and kiss it a few times.
After circling a few times, the crow continued to fly forward. It didn't fly very fast, as if it was leading the way for Wu Gen.
In this way, after following the crow for half a day, a blurry figure appeared in front of him. Wu Gen stopped, lay down behind a stone, and carefully looked ahead. Sure enough, in front of him was Zhao Ling and his party, resting in place.
I don't know how these people passed through the canyon, but they were so late. After looking for a long time, they could not find the figure of Commander Chen. Wu Gen put Chu Ji down, leaned down, and told him not to make any sound, and to wait quietly for the opportunity.
In less than a stick of incense, three cavalry came running from a distance, led by Chen Tong and his men.
Wu Gen stared at the opponent closely, fifty feet, thirty feet, ten feet, that's it. He calculated the horse's speed silently, Wu Gen's body tensed up, and he gently pressed the head of Chu Ji who was looking at him curiously.
.
The three of them were chatting and laughing while riding horses, and even the beards on their faces were clearly visible.
Commander Chen was turning back to say something to a soldier when suddenly a shadow flashed before his eyes and passed in front of the soldier. The man immediately collapsed on his horse.
Before Commander Chen could react, the shadow turned around in the air and struck another soldier on the neck with a knife. His head flew high into the sky, drew an arc, and fell far away.
On the ground.
After being stunned for a while, Commander Chen finally reacted and saw Wu Gen's face clearly. At this time, he was already frightened. Regardless of the situation behind him, he urged his horse to run towards the camp. Looking at Wu Gen who was chasing closely,
Commander Chen shouted: "Come and help me, this man is crazy and wants to kill the officers and soldiers."
The miserable sound reached the camp, and everyone jumped out one after another. When they saw Wu Gen's appearance clearly, they couldn't help but be startled.
A few days ago, Commander Chen led people to go out for reconnaissance, but Wu Gen was missing when they came back. According to Commander Chen, Wu Gen was dragged down by a monster along with his horse and man at the edge of the canyon. Several people could not save him, so they had to rescue him.
Watching Wu Gen disappear before his eyes, he thought he was already dead.
Because of this matter, Zhang Yuan almost fought with Commander Chen and asked him why it was such a coincidence that Wu Gen fell down, while the other three were completely fine.
Commander Chen was also furious and pointed at Zhang Yuan's nose, "Zhang Yuan, you have to remember that you are the deputy. Do you think I am willing to let my brother die? It's just that at the time of the situation, several people were caught off guard and could not save them at all.
.Do we have to go down and be buried with the three of us to be satisfied?"
When everyone heard this, it was indeed true. Many brothers had died along the way. Wu Gen could only suffer from this misfortune because of his own bad luck, and no one else could blame him. Besides, with fewer and fewer manpower now, he would never be able to do it again.
Internal strife is a waste of strength.
Under Xiang Qi's persuasion, the two reluctantly gave up. But from then on, Zhang Yuan and Sha Chu stayed far away from Commander Chen, no longer receiving his orders, and they were like enemies when they met.
But they didn't expect that Wu Gen actually came back and killed two people as soon as he came back. He was determined to hunt down Commander Chen. Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone became suspicious. However, Wu Gen could not be allowed to do so in front of everyone.
Let's kill them all in front of you. Killing your colleagues is a major crime in the army.
Xiang Qi stood up in front of Commander Chen and said loudly: "Wu Gen, stop now and explain the matter clearly why you did this to your colleagues in the army."
Zhang Yuan also ran over at this time, looking at Xiang Qi warily. As long as the other party dared to take action against Wu Gen, no matter who he was, he would definitely take action.
Wu Gen held the knife in one hand, and the tip of the knife was still dripping with blood. He raised his head and looked at several people, and asked loudly: "How did this person come back and tell me that I died?"
Xiang Qi hesitated slightly, and at this time he also felt that something was wrong, so he had to say: "He was swept into the valley by a monster and died."
"What a fucking donkey fart! Four people went out and I was the only one who was caught. Could it be that my meat tastes good?" He glanced around and said loudly: "You all listen, I am the one who planned to kill my colleagues.
Fortunately, the valley was not deep for those who were pushed down. After they left, they climbed up secretly and were rescued by kind-hearted people. After recovering from their injuries, they trudged back all the way."
Having said this, Wu Gen stared at Xiang Qi and said, "Sir Xiang, tell me what the punishment should be for deliberately killing a colleague."
Xiang Qi hesitated for a moment, then said with difficulty: "Behead."
"That's it. Today I'm here to enforce military discipline and eliminate this officer to correct the military regulations of our Zhao army." Wu Gen took a step forward.
"Wait a minute, even if this matter is true, it should be punished by the Military Justice Department. How can we do it in private?" Xiang Qi also took a step forward.
"Haha." Wu Gen sneered and said proudly: "Today I am going to kill this thief. If such a person who attacks in secret is still in the team, there is no guarantee that he will harm others one day, and who would dare to fight against the enemy wholeheartedly.
Mr. Xiang, do you really want to stop me? The ugly words are ahead. Anyone who wants to stop me is my enemy. If I leave, on this Xingluo Plain, there is no telling what disaster will happen one day and trap everyone.
Let’s go in.” He glanced at the direction of Zhao Ling’s carriage.
Xiang Qi's face also turned cold, "Wu Gen, even on Xingluo Plain, you are a citizen of the Zhao Kingdom. You must abide by the laws and regulations of the Zhao Kingdom. Don't make things difficult for me."
At this moment, Zhao Ling's maid came over and whispered a few words to Xiang Qi. Xiang Qi was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, you really said that. No, I have to report it clearly to Your Majesty."
"No need, sir, please don't worry about it anymore. No matter what the outcome is, no one present has seen what happened next." The maid's voice became louder and she looked at Xiang Qi without fear.
Biting his lips hard, Xiangqi had no choice but to hold his hands up and said, "I obey my orders. Everyone, stay back." After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the motorcade, leaving Commander Chen outside.
Commander Chen had a look of panic on his face and hurriedly chased after Xiang Qi, "Sir Xiang, you can't ignore me."
"Hey, Chen, don't leave." Wu Gen laughed and stopped Commander Chen, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, so take your life."
Seeing that Xiang Qi was no longer paying attention to the matter, Commander Chen was heartbroken and said, "Wu, don't be arrogant. If you have the ability, let's challenge each other to a duel. Life or death depends on your fate. No one else is allowed to interfere." He glanced at Zhang Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhang Yuan said coldly: "Chen, how can you bully a child? Let me show you what you can do." After saying that, he stood in front of Wu Gen and protected him behind him.
"Wu Gen, come out if you have the ability. Don't hide behind others like a coward." Seeing Zhang Yuan about to take action, Commander Chen shouted to Wu Gen.
"According to the rules of our village, one-on-one fights are strictly prohibited, only group fights are allowed. However, I just figured out a trick in the past two days, and it's time to try it on your dog." Wu Gen stood up from behind Zhang Yuan with a smile.
Come out and show that you are okay.
Zhang Yuan looked serious, "Okay?"
Wu Gen waved his hand gently, "I'll treat you to dog meat later."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan stopped trying to persuade him, turned around and stepped aside, and warned: "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I don't believe he can be better than Gan Xing."
Pulling out the broken knife, Wu Gen lazily said: "My surname is Chen, I would like to thank you properly before I die. If you hadn't pushed me into the valley, I would never have seen those kind and righteous people. Today, for all I see
For the sake of Xiang Jun, I will no longer torture you and give you a good time."
Commander Chen drew his sword in his hand and said pitifully: "Boy, you dare to talk nonsense before your hair is fully grown. Don't worry, if you fall into my hands, I will definitely cut you into pieces."
"It's a pity that such a move has to be used on your dog first." Wu Gen sighed, and suddenly shouted, "Xizhao." His body suddenly jumped up, and he swung the broken knife in his right hand diagonally.
A bright light flashed across the air, drawing an arc in the sky, covering Commander Chen like a sunset.
No one expected that Wu Gen would suddenly launch an attack. This sword technique did not look very powerful, and was as quiet as the setting sun.
The blade slashed through the surrounding air, without even making a sound of breaking through the air. It just slashed through slightly quietly.
Xiang Qi, who was standing in the motorcade, shrank his eyes. Such a knife skill was really weird. There was even a moment when Xiang Qi felt a hint of sadness, and a scene seemed to appear in his eyes.
In the desert, solitary smoke curls up, and by the long river, the sun sets.
A lonely figure leaped high, rushing towards the powerful enemy regardless of his own safety. That figure was decisive, resolute, and tragic, just to deliver a brilliant blow.
This is the intention of the sword, and Xiang Qi, who has practiced martial arts for a long time, is roaring in his heart.
People often say that if a sword has intention, it can no longer be called a style. This is a realm that many martial arts practitioners dream of. Just like a painting by a master of painting, there is already charm in it, and the wind and rain rise as soon as the pen is written.
This sword intention is not solid enough yet. If it were more vigorous, it would impregnate the opponent when it is struck, causing them to be invisibly controlled by the situation of the sword intention.
Going a step further is the legendary sword realm. Entering this realm, the world and the earth are controlled by the sword wielder, and any opponent's ability can be suppressed.
Such a tragic and majestic sword intention was displayed in the hands of the usually dissolute Wu Gen, which made Xiang Qi unable to help but sigh with emotion.
The broken knife finally drew the arc, and like the setting sun, a bright light flashed by, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes. After a loud noise, when they opened their eyes again, the broken knife had cut off the man in Commander Chen's hand.
The knife cut through his armor and cut off his big head.
The blood flies up as if it were practiced, and is as red as the sunset.
Wu Gen squatted on the ground, still maintaining the posture of wielding the knife, savoring the feeling for a long time.
This style was initiated while admiring the sunset with the stone statues, took shape while walking to the tomb, and was completed while sweeping the grounds in the cemetery.
