sleep forever

The setting sun was slanting, and there was only lingering smoke beside the embankment. Suoxi's army had already entered the city. Now he was sitting on the main seat of the castellan's mansion. A tree can show him a few flowers.

The person sitting opposite Suoxi was Casar, who was slowly drinking the fruit wine in his hand, with no joy or sadness on his face.At this time, the siege battle had long since ended, and Suo Xi followed the plan, but after a symbolic resistance for a while, he surrendered to Suo Xi. This move not only spared the residents of Round Wood City, but also won Suo Xi's favor. , seeing that he is also a soul thinker, I didn't make it difficult for him.

In fact, looking at Suoxi's frowning face, Kasar was quite happy in his heart. No matter what he said, the two people in front were still enemies, and the rift did not disappear so quickly, and it was normal to have resentment.Many people now know that Chen Xiansong's carriage fell into the river, and he didn't know his life or death.

Many people believe it was an accident, but Casar doesn't think so.He felt that even if the carriage was out of control, it was an accident deliberately created by Chen Xiansong. For a person who could come up with such an evil way to attack a city, it would be too much for him to overturn a small carriage. easy.

Suo Xi also didn't eat for a day, he is very anxious now, Chen Xiansong is lost, Riccardo is easy to explain, is the dead worth living?But the problem is on the other side, Bai Min... the Temple of the Sun.He knew very well that Chen Xiansong and Bai Min were a couple, and the former was in his hands, which was equivalent to having a hostage in his hands. He was not afraid of Bai Min coming to find trouble, but now that Chen Xiansong was gone, things would be troublesome.

Servant of the Sun God is very powerful, this is known to the world, none of his subordinates is a match for Bai Min, but he has many subordinates.Together they can force Bai Min back.It's just that he believes that the servant of the sun god is not so stupid. In the situation of being outnumbered, he will fight to the death and never retreat until he is exhausted.What he was afraid of was that Bai Min would stare at him, and would assassinate him from time to time, if he didn't hit him, he would flee thousands of miles away immediately, then things would be much more troublesome.The servant of the sun god has more than 200 years to spend with him slowly, and he can't afford it.

While Southey was frowning, his herald entered.Holding a wet white robe in his hand, he said, "Master, we found this dress downstream. I think it should belong to Your Excellency Chen Xiansong."

see this thing.Suoxi stood up from the chair with a bang, and he took it in his hand and looked at it for a while.Asked: "Only found this thing? Has anyone found it?"

The herald shook his head.Soxi sank back to his chair. He sent hundreds of people to search downstream. After such a long time, even the fish would be gone, but no one could be found, not even a corpse.Only one piece of clothing was found.Did he take the opportunity to escape?The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was possible.

At this moment, the herald continued: "Master, there is another strange thing. Two of our brothers went upstream to check at noon, but they didn't come back until the afternoon. Then we sent people to look for it, and it turned out that it was not too far upstream. The place where their bodies were found... There was a fight at the scene, it was very fierce, I don't know if this incident has anything to do with Your Excellency Chen Xiansong."

"You said there was a fierce fight there. Chen Xiansong is just a soul thinker, how could he fight two mercenaries at the same time." Suoxi shook his head: "Could it be that they encountered other fleeing soldiers in the Log City?" soldiers, the two sides clashed, and then they were killed."

After Suoxi finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Kasar who was sitting quietly.

"Although what I say is not convincing, I don't think it was done by the people of our Round Wood City." Kasar said slowly: "When the city was broken, I have restrained the soldiers from resisting. The most important thing is that you The entire city has been surrounded, and if someone escapes from the city, you should know."

What Kasar said was indeed reasonable, Suoxi nodded, and said to the herald, "Send a few people to search the upstream, and report back immediately if you find anything."

The herald nodded and left.Then Suo Xi said to Casal: "Your Excellency, since you are so cooperative, I don't intend to make it difficult for you. Presumably your wife and children should worry about you at home. You can go back and reunite with them, but I hope you don't do anything to make things worse." People think it's a bad move. Sometimes, I won't be soft when I kill people."

"Thank you for your warning, I'm not stupid." Kasar saluted lightly and left the Santo's Mansion.

When he returned to his home, his wife and children had taken refuge in the secret passage, and the house was quiet, with only two or three servants waiting for orders.Going up to the third floor of the study, the window that was opened just now was closed, and there was a knock on the door.He sat on the chair in front of the desk, rang the golden bell on it, the butler pushed the door in, and then gently closed the door.

"Goshawk and Lone Wolf have returned." The steward's voice was very low: "They said that they found footprints that were suspected to be left by His Excellency Chen Xiansong when he escaped upstream, but they found that there were two other footprints. When people were tracking, they fought with them. Although they killed each other, they also suffered some injuries and delayed time. In the end, the rain washed away all those footprints, and they couldn't track anymore, so they came back. "

Kasar smiled slightly: "Well done, everyone will be rewarded with five gold coins and let them have a good rest."

The butler retreated, and Kasar happily leaned back and put his feet on the desk, he said to himself: "Sure enough, as I expected, Chen Xiansong really escaped, but it's a pity that I helped He, he didn't know, otherwise he would owe me a favor, tsk tsk, what a pity."

In a small village more than ten kilometers away from Yuanmu City, a grey-haired old man welcomed Chen Xiansong into his house.This is a very simple adobe house, which has three single rooms and a kitchen. The furniture is very simple, all made of wood, and many of the furniture still have burrs.

"Old man, do you have anything to eat here?" Chen Xiansong felt around his body, and there were a few gold and silver coins in his underwear, but the armor outside him blocked him, so he said, "Can you Prepare it for me and I'll pay for it."

The old man bent down, glanced at the long sword in his hand, didn't speak, just nodded, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.Chen Xiansong took off his armor and put it in the corner of the room. This set of sacred clothes was designed by Xiao Min, referring to the principles of human mechanics in the 22nd century. The design is very convenient, easy to put on and easy to take off. The heavy armor of the era is nothing compared to it.

After taking out a few silver coins on his body, Chen Xiansong smelled the smell of pasta in the room, and his stomach began to growl more happily. Not long after, the old man came with some black bread on a wooden tray and put it on the table .Chen Xiansong took out two silver coins and stuffed them into the opponent's hand: "Old man, this is my meal money, please."

Seeing the white silver coins, the old man had an expression of humility and fear, but he immediately smiled, and he seemed to become energetic: "Your Excellency, thank you for your reward. Is there anything else you need?"

"Well, can you boil some water for me?" Chen Xiansong took a bite of the black bread, it was very hard, and it would be extremely difficult to swallow without water.

It's no wonder the old man is so enthusiastic. The price of a few black breads will not exceed one copper coin, but two silver coins are already more than twenty times the price.Generally, the villagers living outside the city are from poor families. They usually farm and hunt by themselves, but they can support themselves, but they really don't have any money left.

The old man has lived for dozens of years, and has never held more than ten copper coins in his hand. Now holding two silver coins, he is really happy that he can't find the north.

Soon the boiling water was brought up, using a porcelain bowl with a big hole missing, and the bowl had the texture of flowers and plants, which was obviously discarded by wealthy people.But for the poor, this is already an excellent tableware.

After the water cooled down, Chen Xiansong ate the unpalatable black bread while drinking the water. In the past, he didn't even look at it, but now he was very hungry, and it tasted delicious.After eating some black bread, he felt much better, so he asked the old man if he had an empty bed for him to rest for the night.

The old man nodded sharply, and led him into the third room on the far left. There was a bed, an ordinary wooden wardrobe, and a few rusty broken iron swords.The old man said: "This is my son's room. He is currently receiving mercenary training in Log City, and he will be able to make money when he comes out. My lord, you can just make do with staying here for one night."

Chen Xiansong thanked a few words, and then moved all the armor he had untied into the room.He had been walking all day and was exhausted.First fell into the water, then was drenched in the rain, and the armor has not been taken off since then, and the clothes are still a little wet.But he couldn't care less, fell on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

In a daze, Chen Xiansong heard that someone said a few words to the old man outside the room, it seemed to be an old woman, and his tone was very fierce.

After falling asleep, he had a dream. He dreamed that he fell into the water first and then was thrown into the fire. Something was pinned down and I couldn't move.After a long time, he felt that he was more awake, so he desperately opened his eyes, but found that his vision was blurred, and the strange ceiling kept rotating.

I got sick?Chen Xiansong raised his limp, powerless right hand and placed it on his forehead, it was very hot.

I have a fever!Chen Xiansong turned sideways, supported his upper body with his left hands and leaned against the head of the bed. He wanted to speak, but his throat was blocked by something. He moved his mouth twice and began to cough.After a few sounds, the door was pushed open, and the old man walked in. He looked at Chen Xiansong with some concern in his cloudy eyes: "Your Excellency, what's wrong with you."

"Fever... I'm sick." Chen Xiansong replied in a hoarse voice, "Can you help me get some medicine... I still have some money with me when I come back."

"Wait, let me talk to my wife." The old man went out, and not long after, an old woman came in.

The old woman's wrinkles were deep, even deeper than the old man's. The cheekbones between her cheeks were very high, and they looked like two small peaks on her face.She looked at Chen Xiansong's fragile appearance, and smiled, showing her yellow and black front teeth: "I'm sick, it's great, old man, our child's armor has fallen."
