Ni Chu

Xin Nong, dressed in white with a long sword hanging from his waist, slapped his hands lightly and walked towards Xiang Ye and the others, with a sunny smile on his face.

Guan Mu frowned, tightened his hand holding the scimitar, and stared at Xin Nong.After wrestling with Xiang Ye and Meng Su for a long time but still failed to kill the two of them, he didn't know where to put his previous ease. When Xin Nong appeared, Guan Mu's expression flashed slightly Nervous, the eyes looking at Xin Nong were a little erratic, and the unique calmness of a swordsman was greatly compromised.

"What are you doing here?" Guan Mu didn't take his hand off his scimitar for a moment, stared at Xin Nong without blinking, and asked Xin Nong with unconcealable tension in his tone.

"I'll be a peacemaker!" Xin Nong stopped four or five steps away from Guan Mu, with his hand on the long sword at his waist, and although his tone of voice was flat, it was more or less revealing The meaning of threat: "I also feel very sorry for Guan Yijian's death, but Xiang Ye can't die now, I need him to live, so I hope Mr. Guan Mu will stop here, and Xin Nong will definitely repay him in the future!"

When Xin Nong said this, Xiang Ye's heart was churning violently. Since meeting him once on the bank of the Yellow River, Xiang Ye felt that he was a little strange.His younger sister died at Gai Nie's hands. It stands to reason that Xin Nong should be very angry and kill him and Mengsu, Gai Nie's nominal apprentices, to avenge his death.But Xin Nong didn't do it at that time, he didn't even have the idea of ​​doing it, and when he mentioned Xinning's death, Xiang Ye felt that Xin Nong seemed to be satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

At that time, Xiang Ye felt that Xin Nong was a little abnormal, but he was eager to cross the river at that time, and he didn't have much time to think about it.Today, Guan Mu intercepted him and Mengsu halfway, and Xin Nong would show up to mediate at their most critical moment, which made Xiang Ye a little puzzled.

Guan Mu's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. The two people who came with him were indeed good players, but after Xiang Ye and Mengsu showed their strength, he no longer had any hope for the help these two people could bring him. .If he refuses Xin Nong at this time, causing Xin Nong to go crazy, and Xiang Ye and Meng Su help each other, he must be the one who suffers.

"Since the Patriarch of Wuyue Sword Tomb has spoken, I will spare them today, but they killed my elder brother, this revenge must be embraced, next time we meet, I hope the Patriarch will not interfere!" Guan Mu inserted the scimitar back into the knife Sheath, gritted her teeth, stared at Xiang Ye and Mengsu, and said bitterly.

"Xin Nong, thank you, Mr. Guan!" Guan Mu withdrew his scimitar, and Xin Nong bowed to him with a smile on his face and said, "I will talk about the future. Forget each other!"

Watching Guan Mu leave, Xin Nong turned his head, faced Xiang Ye and Mengsu and said, "Although Guan Mu is from the Xiongnu, he is very reputable. He said that he will not embarrass you for the time being, and he will certainly not in a few months." I regret it. It’s just that I helped you for a while, but I can’t help you forever. One day, you will face him again.”

"Why did you help us? What are your plans?" Xiang Ye was not overwhelmed with gratitude for Xin Nong's rescue of him and Mengsu, but questioned Xin Nong with some doubts.

The corner of Xin Nong's mouth turned up slightly, and he said to Xiang Ye: "You must be very surprised, why Gai Nie killed Xin Ning, but I didn't kill you to avenge her, but I helped her!"

Xiang Ye nodded, the doubt in his heart was just like this.

"Xin Ning is my younger sister, but if Ge Nie doesn't kill her, I will kill her sooner or later. As for why, it is inconvenient for me to tell you. You just need to know that I help you because Ge Nie accidentally Helped me, hehe." After finishing speaking, he turned and left without further talking to Xiang Ye.

Before leaving, Xin Nong turned his head and glanced at Li Xinpeng lying in the carriage, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, stepped into the grass by the side of the road and walked straight to the east.

"Wait!" Xin Nong took a few steps, Xiang Ye quickly stopped him: "There is one more thing I want to ask you, my brother was stabbed by your Wuyue Sword Tomb, do you know about this Know?"

Xin Nong stopped and didn't look back. He just replied lightly: "I do know about this, but the person who went to kill him has nothing to do with me. You must have already guessed the person who wanted to kill him. Let your brothers know themselves."

Watching Xin Nong's leaving back, Xiang Ye couldn't calm down for a long time.Xin Nong's words confirmed his guess, and it was undoubtedly Lu Zhi who wanted Li Xinpeng's life.He really didn't know how he could help Li Xinpeng get rid of Lu Zhi's pursuit in Liu Bang's military camp.

When starting again, Xiang Ye and Mengsu switched places.He followed behind the carriage on a red steed, fearing that someone would attack Meng Su and Li Xinpeng from behind, but he didn't know it.

A horse and a cart galloped at high speed on the official road.

The sky gradually darkened, and the stars appeared in the night sky one after another. Xiang Ye and Meng Su, who were naughty and galloping on the Chaoguan Road, blinked their eyes.Under the dim starlight, a city appeared in the sight of Xiang Ye and Mengsu.

"Who is under the city?" When they rushed to the foot of the city wall, a Qin Jun poked his head out and shouted at them.

Xiang Ye reined in his horse, looked up at the Qin army on the city wall, and replied loudly: "This general, please report to Mr. Li, saying that an old friend is visiting, please show up and meet him!"

"Who are you?" Qin Jun didn't shrink back, but continued to ask with his head out.

"The general just needs to tell Mr. Li that the old man will come to visit!" Xiang Ye cupped his hands at Qin Jun on the top of the wall, but did not answer Qin Jun's question directly.

Now is the sensitive period for the war between the two armies. If he and Mengsu's names are reported at this time, the Qin army may not only not report to Li You, but will shoot them with random arrows, so Xiang Ye replied. Sometimes he was vague, and everything will be said after seeing Li You.

Qin Jun on the top of the wall obviously hesitated for a while, and after a while, he shouted to Xiang Ye: "Okay, wait a moment, I will report to the Lord."

Qin Jun withdrew his head, Xiang Ye and Mengsu looked up at the quiet city with full eyes. Not long after, Li You, who was in armor, leaned out half of his body from the city wall and shouted to them: "I don't know which old man is that?" Late night visit?"

"Lord Li, it's me!" Seeing Li You, Meng Su turned over and jumped off the carriage, cupped his hands towards the top of the wall, and said, "I was taken in by Lord Li on weekdays, and I didn't have time to thank you. My lord solves the problem, please open the city gate and discuss it after we meet!"

Hearing Meng Su's voice, Li You's body trembled, he pondered for a while, and then said to Meng Su: "Thanks to Miss Miss's concern, I am very grateful, but now that the robbers are coming, Li You is here It is inconvenient to meet each other, please come back, the mountains are high and the water is turning, if there is a destiny, we will meet each other!"

"What a turning point!" Xiang Ye rode on his horse and said with a sneer: "This time the Chu people have gathered a hundred thousand troops, and they are now stationed in Chenliu, and the general of the Chu army, Xiang Yu, has the courage of a million men; The walls of Yongqiu City are dilapidated, there are no more than [-] troops, and the food reserves may not last for half a month. If the two armies are about to fight, I am afraid that you and I will never see each other again!"

It may be that Xiang Ye's words touched Li You's fragile nerves, or it may be that he just happened to tell the truth that Li You dared not say in front of the officers and soldiers of the Qin army.Li You's face on the top of the wall changed, and he said to the two people below the wall: "The robbers are coming. As the governor of Daqin Sanchuan, I should guard Yongqiu for Daqin. You two should not confuse the army here, otherwise Don't blame Li You for not showing affection!"

Xiang Ye wanted to say something more, but Meng Su winked at him and stopped him.

"Since your lord doesn't want to go out of the city to meet each other, it's inconvenient for me to wait for you, so let's just leave this and hope you take care!" Meng Su sighed softly, cupped his hands towards the city, jumped into the carriage, and shouted to Xiang Ye With a voice: "Let's go!" Raising the whip, he set up the cart and headed towards Chen Liu.

Xiang Ye smiled wryly and shook his head. Before coming, he had imagined everything, but he never thought that Li You would refuse to meet in Kaesong.In front of the Qin army guarding the city, there were many things to say, but finally he sighed heavily, bowed his hands to Li You, reined in his horse and followed Meng Su.

In the grassland between Yongqiu and Chenliu, a fiery red war horse was dozing prone in the grass, and a carriage pulled by two horses stopped not far from the fiery red war horse.

There were three people lying side by side on the carriage, the one on the far left was Li Xinpeng, who was pale and still in a coma.On the far right is Mengsu with fluffy cloud temples and dressed in white.

Xiang Ye lay between the two of them, looking up at the starry sky.The long night wind slid over the shaft of the car, and from time to time, a wisp or two of wind mischievously got into the car, caressing the faces of the three people.

"Xiang Ye, what are you thinking?" Meng Su turned sideways, looked at Xiang Ye with big watery eyes without blinking, and asked softly.

"If there were no wars and vendettas in the world, and every night would be as peaceful as tonight, that would be great!" Xiang Ye sighed, looking at the night sky with some melancholy and said, "I really want to avoid this bloody and chaotic world." , find a quiet place to live in seclusion.”

"Like Mr. Gai Nie?" Meng Su propped his face on one hand, looked sideways at Xiang Ye and said, "If you really want to avoid the troubled times, we can also find a place where there are no people and live in seclusion like him. I will always be by your side with you."

Xiang Ye pulled the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said to Meng Su: "You think too simply, Mr. Gai Nie can enter the Taihang Mountain to live in seclusion, it is because he has an unrivaled swordsmanship. People in the world declare that a certain place in Taihang Mountain is his seclusion area, and few people dare to enter there to challenge him. But you and I do not have that ability. If we declare to the people in the world that we are living in seclusion, I am afraid that the result will not be that the world will be discouraged, but will attract people. More people who want to kill you rush to our secluded place."
