Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 36 It’s endless fun to fight with others

Early the next morning, Lu Chen, Zhui Ming, Qiu Chuji and Bao Xiruo sat at a roadside stall with Ye Mouzi, each eating a bowl of noodles. Someone next to him posted a notice on the city wall.

Ye Mouzi was curious and went over to look at it for a while, then came back with a pale face.

"It's broken, it's broken, Ah Chen, they are pulling something under that...axe..." He looked urgent and stammered, "They want to bribe everyone!"

Lu Chen was not surprised when he heard this and just nodded, "Yes, that's right."

He looked around at the three of them, "Lao Cui, Lao Bao, Lao... uh, Master, are you right?"

Now, Zhui Ming has become an old farmer, Qiu Chuji has become a woodcutter, and Bao Xiruo has become a fat aunt.

And Lu Chen became a gentle scholar.

It was dawn on the second day. Lu Chen went back to Prince Zhao's Mansion last night and dug out the big dog's skull from Mei Chao's wind tunnel to tell everyone what Wanyan Honglie had done, and then scared everyone away.

Later, the other beggars had their money scattered by Lu Chen, so they went their separate ways with gratitude.

And they had arrived at the neighboring city of Zhao Fucheng. Apart from Zhui Ming, Qiu Chuji and Bao Xiruo, there was only one night mouse left beside them. This boy was different from others. He felt that he had some kind of friendship with Lu Chen, so he insisted on treating him to a bowl of noodles.

Ye Mouzi looked around a few times and lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you run away quickly? Do you think everyone is really loyal? I understand this group of people. They usually talk and laugh, but last night they kowtowed and were grateful. But According to the reward written on it, I think they are very willing to tell you where you are going, and the pursuers will be here soon!"

He thought again, "Why don't you change the direction and leave? Hey, could this be the legendary strategist? Am I really a genius?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Ye Mouzi, you are a genius, but I am not, so I won't change. I just want to ask, if you are caught, are you willing to tell me where I am going?"

Ye Mouse sighed, "You're looking down on me. I'm the best brother in the world! Damn it, you told me so many nonsense yesterday. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but when you look at the big dog, Scary head, I don’t care what’s right or wrong.”

He said bitterly, "Even if the big dog almost killed me, the Wanyan Laoliu family's disregard for human life is ten times more terrifying than the way you kill people! They hurt the big dog that day, and they will hurt me later. I How can I stay!"

Lu Chen touched his face, "Am I scary when I kill people?"

Ye Mouzi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Chen to pay attention here, so he continued to answer, "Actually, it's not that scary. You kill people just like you are singing on stage, clean and neat, and very beautiful. I almost want to applaud you." .”

Lu Chen exposed him, "Weren't you screaming at that time?"

Ye Mouzi was not ashamed, but rather proud, "I'm a coward. I'm just as cowardly as a mouse...and it's not always good to kill someone."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I don't like killing people either."

Ye Mouzi said happily, "Really?"

Lu Chen said, "Really, the reason why I kill is that I don't want to be killed. If the problem can be solved without killing, I tend not to kill. But when killing is necessary, I will never be merciful."

Ye Mouzi said confusedly, "I'm not sure... Anyway, I can't kill anyone in this life. I don't have the ability or the courage... Ah Chen, if you don't like killing, what do you like to do?"

Lu Chen said, "I like saving people."

He immediately added, "It feels so good to save people."

He went on to say, "At that time, my whole body felt warm, as if I was soaking in hot water. When I saw others thanking me, and thought that others would be happy in the future, my heaven and spirit caps were cleared, and I felt so comfortable."

He finally sighed and said, "Unfortunately, in life, it is easier to kill than to save others, and if you want to save people, you often have to kill. In order to save you last night, I killed many golden people. Killing is to save people. I can kill No regrets.”

Ye Mouzi thought for a while, "If you can save people without killing people, what should it be?"

Lu Chen said, "That's probably a sage."

Ye Mouzi said, "Sage."

Lu Chen said, "Sage!"

The two of them sighed together, full of emotion.

Ye Mouzi was suddenly startled and realized, "You're talking nonsense again. I think you're done. You should run away first. And these few...well, senior, please take good care of Ah Chen..." "

While standing up, he looked at the other three people on the table.

As soon as he looked over, three pairs of eyes of the three people also looked over. He was so frightened that he trembled. He felt that he was not someone to be trifled with, so he bowed cautiously.

He turned to look at Lu Chen and complained, "You really shouldn't tell everyone your route back to the south. Since they know it, Wanyan Laoliu must also know it. Just follow my advice and change the route." .”

Lu Chen said, "Don't worry, I know it well. I have done my best to them. As a colleague, if they treat me well, they will be rich and noble. If they treat me badly, they will be in disaster. But let's not mention these, brother Ye Mouse, Where are you going next?”

Ye Mouzi actually didn't quite understand what Lu Chen was talking about, so he only said, "I am thinking the same as you, to go back to the south. But don't worry, I will avoid your route and take care not to cause any trouble to you."

Lu Chen said, "Okay! After we meet again in the south, I will return the bowl of noodles today."

Ye Mouzi emphasized, "There is also wine."

Then he smiled extremely obscenely, stood up, arched his butt, and said, "There are also busty ladies."

Lu Chen smiled and said nothing. He sat there and watched Ye Mouse disappear into the crowd.

Turning his head, he whispered to the three people next to him, "Old Cui, Lao Bao, Master, if those colleagues were as loyal as Ye Mouse, it would be very difficult for me. Fortunately, there is only one Ye Mouse. Otherwise, How can I mobilize the military power of the entire border?"

"Okay, you should be safe now... Well, get up and move your left leg first, then your right leg..."

As he spoke these words, his voice became extremely soft and possessed some soul-stirring magic, and he stood up.

The three of them stood up together and followed him out of the city. Outside the city, there were several horses waiting for them, so they mounted and left.

……

Lu Chen led the three of them all the way south, passing more than a dozen county towns and five large cities.

At this time, the snow was still falling fast and fiercely, and the ground was full of flowers. There were very few pedestrians on the road. It was a cold and dense mist, and auspicious auspicious signs fell one after another in the sky. In a moment, it is difficult to separate the road in the four fields, and in an instant, thousands of mountains disappear without a trace. A world of silver, full of jade.

The four of them walked in the mountains and fields, running for a day and a night. When the horses collapsed from exhaustion, they let them go and walked instead. There were two or three county towns in between, but nothing happened.

It wasn't until they entered another city that they realized something was wrong with the atmosphere. It seemed that Wanyan Honglie's intention had reached this point.

But Lu Chen was not surprised. Wanyan Honglie already knew their route, so it would be easier to arrange it along this route. Either the fast horses were running around day and night, or the flying pigeons were delivering messages, anyway it would be faster than they needed to eat or sleep.

There was obviously a new batch of soldiers guarding the city. They were smarter and more alert than ordinary soldiers. They had been watching them secretly since they entered the city, but they didn't say anything and instead let them in.

There were always people secretly following him on the road, spying on him from the left and staring at him from the right, making Lu Chen feel uncomfortable all the time. If possible, he would really like to show off, enter the restaurant, ask for a banquet, invite them to eat together, and ask them if they are working hard on weekdays, if they are exploited, and if they are interested in accompanying him to the Wanyan family.

It's a pity that if you say this, instead of feeling that you care about them, they will use a sword against themselves.

The disguise changes of Lu Chen and the four others were handled by Zhui Ming. He was the one with the most extensive experience among the four famous hunters, and he was naturally good at the art of disguise. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to tell at a glance that Li Yanzong was disguised.

With the skills at his disposal, no clues would be discovered by mere soldiers. But Lu Chen specifically asked to pursue life, to make a series that looked similar to ordinary people, but the trained person could see the flaws.

Zhui Ming was very confused, "Xiaolu, I really can't understand, what exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Chen felt that it was his honor to be able to confuse the four famous arresters, "Anyway, if you do more powerfully, it will only make Daikin set up defenses at various checkpoints and strictly check all transactions. In the end, it will still be exposed, and everyone knows that you can't even It’s not as good as me, we’ll die.”

Zhui Ming sighed, "Yes, yes, I know your majesty. But now what? If you do this, the disguise spell will have no effect."

Lu Chen's answer was thought-provoking, "Disguise can't do the same thing as disguise, but it can play another role. Lao Cui, do you know magic? Oh, or should I say it's a trick?"

Chasing Life is still full of questions, "Of course I know this, but what next?"

Lu Chen explained, "Jugglers can always surprise people. Everyone thinks that the source of surprise is that their hands are quick and invisible. In fact, in my opinion, the technique is one thing, but if people are asked to stare at their hands all the time, they will No matter how fast you go, you can’t scare people.”

He pointed out one point, "The real important beauty of tricks is not actually their speed, but their expressions, movements, and words. It is those cumbersome parts that dazzle people. When the eyes are away from the hands, that's when the tricks work." .”

Chasing life can be solved with just a few clicks, and I suddenly realize, "I understand, the previously useless part can be of great use."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's right, the Disguise Technique naturally doesn't have the effect of disguising ourselves, but it can make them know our whereabouts and think that we have worked hard. Since we have worked hard in this regard, naturally we will not Work on other things.”

Zhui Ming said, "So I became a bad guy in disguise, and you became a weakling. Naturally, you don't need to be careful when dealing with these two people."

Lu Chen said, "And when they have captured our whereabouts and are thinking of arresting us, that is the trick I really want to perform for them!"

After eating meals in the city and bringing some dry food with them, Lu Chen suddenly whispered something to the three of them before leaving the city, and they parted ways.

Zhui Ming, Qiu Chuji, and Bao Xiruo walked the same path, but he walked the same path alone.

The followers were naturally confused when they saw it, but they didn't think too much and just reported the news.

An hour later, Wanyan's father and son, and the five masters also arrived on horseback. They received the news, and several people came to the fork in the road, stopped, and discussed with each other.

Wanyan Honglie frowned. For some reason, he always felt that this was quite meaningful, "What do they mean?"

Ouyang Ke shook his fan, "I guess they also knew that we were searching everywhere, so they divided their troops into two groups to give that kid a chance to go south and spread the news. Both sides must be captured and both sides killed."

Sha Tongtian expressed his opinion, "Although the Taoist priest is dead, Zhui Ming is one of the four famous arresters. Li Yanzong can't even tell what his condition is. I'm afraid it's better to be cautious. If he still retains more than 40% of his strength, we will It’s no use traveling together.”

Peng Lianhu never forgets to compliment his master, "Don't worry, Prince Salon, let's see what the young prince wants."

Wanyan Kangyin had the air of a general and made a decision directly, "In my opinion, if we catch up now, it might be difficult to deal with them. So I spread the news first, and hung there at a distance. When they entered the next city, I immediately mobilized them." The army should cooperate inside and outside, and be surrounded by military formations. After listening to the reality of the pursuit, it will not be too late to go up and fight."

He was not impulsive. Wanyan Honglie felt relieved after hearing this. He suddenly felt that although Bao Xiruo had broken his heart through this setback, Wanyankang had grown a lot, which made people feel lucky in the misfortune.

Hou Tonghai said hesitantly, "Then that other kid..."

Wanyankang squinted his eyes and thought, "Of course he has to die, but Li Yanzong once said that he was a little weird. Think about it carefully, Qiu Chuji killed Ao Bai, and Liang Ziwen was killed by him. I'm afraid we can't underestimate him." "

Wanyan Honglie was most afraid that he would forget this, so he felt more relieved and said with a smile, "Kang'er, they divided their troops, so we can also divide our troops. That kid defeated Liang Ziweng, so we sent two people over. Are you going?"

Wanyankang shook his head and said, "Dad, I have no interest in that boy. I want to see my mother again, but I also want to watch Zhui die... When I was born, he was the only person who almost killed me. If he doesn't kill me, I feel uneasy."

Wanyan Honglie didn't hesitate and looked around, "Then please, Brother Hou, please go with Master Peng? We must keep an eye on Zhui Ming and not leave. You go back quickly and don't delay."

Peng Lianhu and Hou Tonghai looked at each other and said in unison, "Your Majesty has ordered us, so we are naturally bound to take that kid's head back."

Wanyan and his son thought about it over and over in their minds, and felt that there were no omissions in this arrangement, and they would never make the same mistake as before, where a brat with mediocre martial arts made the situation full of holes.

……

Lu Chen walked all the way and arrived at a tavern in the countryside. He thought to himself, "It's almost done. They will divide their forces to chase. I wonder who is chasing them? If Ouyang Ke is among them, or there are more than three, I will use the spiral nine shadows to escape. But if there are only two people, I will fight and kill."

Then he stopped, looked for a seat, and asked the waiter for a bottle of wine and two kilograms of soy sauce beef.

You must eat and drink enough before killing someone or running away.

This time when he went south, Lu Chen kept one important point in mind: he could not run wildly and completely get rid of the group of people, nor could he drag his feet and be chased by a large number of troops. He must always maintain a speed that the top masters can catch up with, but ordinary soldiers cannot catch up with.

Neither tight nor loose, this trick is all too familiar. He killed Liang Ziwen by fishing that day, and he is still fishing now. Even he himself is thinking: Hey, could I be the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong?
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Lu Chen did not say a word to the pursuers behind him, but he always figured out their thoughts and made sure that every time he advanced or slowed down, he reached a certain frequency with them.

This is a bit like a music ensemble, and like a dance advancing and retreating. The difference is that they are cooperating, and one of them is intentional and the other is not.

To be honest, this was extremely fun, and Lu Chen felt unprecedented excitement during this process. It's like walking on the top of a tall building without relying on any protective equipment, on a wall that is erected and is several inches wide.

He set up this situation, thinking that when things came to pass, he would either be afraid of death or not. But now, it seems that I have forgotten whether I am afraid or not, and what I carry in my heart can no longer be described as timid or brave, but completely full of curiosity, expectation, and excitement.

It's like a child who plays a game he has never played before. He doesn't care at all about how difficult the game is or whether he can pass the level. He will just enjoy it and feel every worthwhile part of the game.

Fighting with others is really a lot of fun.

At this time, earth-shaking changes took place in Lu Chen's heart.

Since encountering the blue field transformed by Jiuyin's true meaning, the golden carp has been peaceful for a long time, swimming around all day long, very happy.

There is no wind or waves in that land, so you can wander around at will, and the sunshine in your heart is nowhere to be found. It is really comfortable and comfortable, as if you never need to set foot on the Black Sea again in this life.

But suddenly, it seemed to feel something, and it swung its tail quickly and eagerly, arriving at the edge of the blue sea. Without hesitation, he jumped up and plunged into the black sea with another fierce move.

As soon as it entered the Black Sea, it was immediately beaten by the wind and waves, and was displaced. However, in the process, the golden carp began to swallow white water again, and looked up, never leaving the dragon gate in the distance. During this process, the little carp seemed to be growing in size again, becoming two or three times bigger in an instant.

Lu Chen suddenly stopped eating and drinking, looked thoughtful, and then relieved.

Twenty feet away...no, thirty feet away, two people were galloping over on horseback.

The second level of refining the spirit is achieved unconsciously.
