Chen Palace

Chapter 23 Yuan Xu
(Students who don't like to watch fights and memories are anxious, and we will return to our real world in a few chapters)
There was a glimmer of light on the horizon.

The pain in Lin Chen's right shoulder intensified.

It's like... a blunt saw slowly cutting.

After the bet began, Prince Hulu did not appear.

He is always not far away, but never appears.It's like playing a game of cat and mouse.

The warrior's sensitivity is oppressing Lin Chen, and a strong enemy is by his side.Can't see, can't touch.

Prince Hulu knew people's hearts very well.

Anxiety, injury, and fear are like tangled silk threads, entangled and suffocated people's necks, and the manipulator of the threads is the prince Kulu.

Lin Chen thought of his confident smile, and the last look in his eyes.

How many dangers are hidden under such a god-like handsome face?

Lin Chen felt that omnipresent eyes were watching his every move.

Where the hell... She stopped in the dark.

In the wide street, eight carriages can run side by side, but at this moment, it is like a dead zone, where ghosts and ghosts will appear at any time.

She was thinking hard... A flash of light flashed in her mind.

Raised his head, sure enough.

She took out three chess pieces from her sleeve, and shot them towards the sky with the hidden weapon technique of meteor chasing the moon.

A hawk seems to have a spirit, flashing past with its wings.

Tried again, still the same.

For the last one, she concentrated all her mind, superimposed her inner strength, and shot out——

The beast still wanted to repeat the old trick, but didn't want the chess piece to come round and hit the bird's head.

Lin Chen jumped away, and in the alleys and streets of the capital, there was a small figure standing alone.

When approaching the city wall, she stopped and stood still.

"What are you looking at?"

From behind, came the voice of Prince Hulu.

Like, the ghost in the abyss finally bared its fangs.

In his hand, he was playing with a short black knife, carved with ornaments, which seemed inconspicuous, but the tip of the knife was curved, bright and crystal clear.

"Blood on the walls."

Lin Chen replied, the wound on her shoulder was aching, but this stubborn girl became more and more careless.

Perhaps, life and death, to her, there is no difference between heaven and earth.

Thinking about it, Hulu once again indulged deeply in that pool of ice and snow.

"I don't like slaughter."

He didn't make a move, but said so.

It seems that he doesn't want to let the girl in front of him think that he is also that kind of ragged.

"The act of massacring the city is really helpless. Only blood can suppress the rebellion. The fighters of my clan don't like street fighting with the whole city."

Lin Chen's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.

So much blood and life, just for such a reason?
Without any words, her sword was out of its sheath, although she knew that the other party was just trying to stir her mind.

The two fought against the city wall for more than ten strokes.

When the sword and the sword intersected, sparks splashed in all directions, and the black and white silhouettes were like two-leafed boats in the spirit of sword and knife.

Flying in the turbulent tide is extremely fast, but life is hanging by a thread.

Lin Chen knew that there was no suspense in the result——

My injury can no longer be delayed.

She gritted her teeth, and suddenly, a ray of light flew out from her sleeve.

The first light of the sky was revealed, but all the brilliance was taken away by this light.

Extremely bright.

The light burst.

The next moment, Hulu took two steps back.

He clicked on several acupuncture points of himself like lightning, and his left arm was blood-stained.

That thing lay quietly in Lin Chen's palm.

Numerous glass crystal needles are woven into a beautiful light curtain, which is skillfully crafted.

There are such weapons in the world!
At this moment, Lin Chen's heart sank to the bottom, and the last weapon had already failed.

She stroked her chest and coughed lightly, her clear black eyes became more ethereal and cold, yet revealing the extreme pain she could bear.

Hulu's heart trembled, and he lost his mind in an instant——

The next moment, Lin Chen took a few steps and boarded the tower. She turned around, and the sword that was originally weak showed its sharpness at this moment.

This sword condensed all her attitudes——

Decisively, refuse.

Hulu is so shrewd, he already knew it was not good, he rushed to the city wall, no matter, no matter how amazing this sword is, he stretched out his hand to pull her back.

Just a little.

What he was talking about was the black mask.

The dawn dawned, and the faint light shone on the body of the girl who was falling rapidly.

The blue hair that had lost its restraint spread out, and at that moment, what Hulu saw was a peerless face that had never been seen in the world.

At that moment, he finally knew what the Han people meant when they said "overwhelm the country and overwhelm the city".

Lin Chen closed his eyes, but didn't feel the expected pain——

At the foot of the city, a young man, wearing black clothes with holes, caught her firmly.

The fabric riddled with holes is extremely familiar——

It was the masked boy I met by chance when I sneaked into the capital!

"It's you!"

The two said in unison.

He didn't cover his face this time, Lin Chen saw his true appearance——

Elegant and handsome, free and easy.

Even the ordinary black clothes can't hide his unique temperament.

If it is said that Prince Hulu is like a legendary god, this young man is like the rising sun, warm and bright.

Like a spring breeze... At this moment, Lin Chen thought of this word.

On the tower, Prince Hulu watched him catch Lin Chen, and the two hugged each other intimately, with inexplicable irritability in their hearts.

He took a closer look, and suddenly became furious——

"White Snake Slayer! You are Yuan Xu!"

****
Prince Hulu is well versed in Sinology, and he knows that in Chinese civilization, there is a saying of "five virtues cycle" for the change of dynasties.

The sages believed that any dynasty has a kind of virtue endowed by heaven, which is represented by the five elements, which are the five virtues of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.The political characteristics of this country and dynasty must or must conform to its virtues, and the color it admires is the national color.

Once the dynasty's destiny is exhausted, another "virtue" will replace it.

The Jingle Dynasty was precarious. A few years ago, there was a secret rumor in the capital that a child encountered rain in the outskirts of Beijing. He killed a huge white snake with a big red sword, and the snake turned into a dragon and left.

White is the sign of Jinde, which means that this dynasty's energy is exhausted and will be replaced by the "red" fire virtue.

After the Tatars invaded, a rebel army gathered. The leader was Yuan Xu, who was the queen of Shouyang Hou. He wielded a large red sword. Everyone rumored that he was the Lord of Fire Virtue.

Will this young man be the true son of the Central Plains?

Hu Lu sneered in his heart. Although he admired Chinese characters, he never dismissed these prophecies.

It's just a noble boy from a poor family, pretending to be these gods and ghosts, and wants to expel my Tatar army?

He took down the small crossbow on his back and was about to shoot it, but he heard a loud bang behind him, turned around and saw the flames shooting up into the sky, earth and rocks flying, and black smoke rising from the four barracks.

Yuan Xu smiled in the sunlight, and said loudly: "I have waited hard all night to present the prince. You don't have to send it far away, so I will leave here."

The spirit of youth is indescribably vigorous.

He also had a bow and crossbow in his hand, the two of them held each other, after a while, Hu Lv finally let go, and hurriedly turned to rescue.

****
Lin Chen and Yuan Xu rode a horse together. She was seriously injured and a little dizzy.

Yuan Xu supported her carefully, worried that she would fall, and worried that the scene on the city wall would repeat itself.

"What are you coy about, am I a scourge?"

The girl frowned, anger flashed in her clear eyes.

Yuan Xu smiled wryly, looking at his clothes that were riddled with holes from the sword.

"Little sister, where do you live? Shall I take you back?"

"have a finger in the pie!"

"You are so young, why are you so stubborn?!"

"How old are you, you look old-fashioned!"

"I'm sixteen..."

Lin Chen was a little angry: "It's only four years older than me!"

Yuan Xu was a little surprised, he looked at Lin Chen, except for that beautiful and mortal face, she didn't look like a 12-year-old at all.Twelve or thirteen-year-old women, some talk about marriage, but she is so thin and small, like a child.

He fixed his gaze, looking at her neck and chest, the only pale skin that was exposed, with many vertical and horizontal wounds on it, which was very old.

What kind of life did she live... He felt a pain in his heart.

Seeing him staring at his chest, Lin Chen pushed him away in shame and anger.

"Be careful, don't fall off the horse!"

"Woman, I want you to take care of it!"

"You haven't grown up at all, what color do you have for me to covet?" Yuan Xu looked at her chest, playful, and added an accent to the word "big".

"Your evil eyes... you, you still look at it!!"

"Hey... be careful!! Don't draw your sword indiscriminately—don't stab it, my clothes!!!!"——

"Stop... I don't want to run naked!"

Yuan Xu's joke finally caused trouble for himself.
