Chapter 711: Missing
The huge body of the blue dragon collided wildly in the darkness, but Chen Lin seemed to grow on its body, and after the countless efforts of the blue dragon failed, it seemed that he had finally lost confidence, and the speed of his flight kept slowing down, his abdomen was close to the surface of the river, and his crazy dancing tail was also honestly hanging down at this time.
In the violent collision just now, although Chen Lin escaped the fate of being knocked into meat sauce, but the gravel and dust that were pouring into the sky had already scratched his body with countless blood marks, and after being soaked in the river water, the pain of the wound made him even more unbearable. Full screen is supported by its own strong perseverance, otherwise he would have given up long ago.
The feeling of the right arm became more and more acute, through the heavy scale armor of the blue dragon, Chen Lin could clearly feel its heartbeat, the muscles around the blue dragon tightened again after a short relaxation, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the huge body of the blue dragon suddenly soared upward, and its strength had reached the extreme at this moment.
The hard skull slammed into the rocky roof above, and the battered roof cracked through it, pouring massive stones and dust from the hole, followed by a surging jet of water.
The blue dragon rushed up against the water column, crossing the lake above at incredible speed, and with crystal droplets, rushed out of the lake and straight into the sky.
The noonday sun was projected on the blue dragon's body without obstruction, reflecting a dazzling blue light, and Chen Lin's eyes were tightly closed because he couldn't stand the stimulation of the strong light.
The blue dragon's massive head turned nimbly to the back, its turquoise eyes shining with a strange light.
A man and a dragon stared at each other, the blue dragon suddenly opened a huge kiss, and a powerful stream of water spurted out of its mouth and nose with all its might, and the water flow hit Chen Lin's body like a thousand pounds of hammer, Chen Lin's eyes were dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness, and his body fell vertically down from mid-air.
The tyrannical Heishui River finally regained its former gentleness, and when Xuan'er woke up, she found herself lying on the raft, and the others had long since disappeared, and there was a panic in her heart, and she shouted loudly: "Master!" The voice echoed in the darkness for a long time, but no one answered her.
Helpless tears slowly slid down Xuan'er's pretty face, and she turned around to vaguely see a bright light in front of her into the dark world.
Slowly spreading her wings and shaking off the water stains on her body, Xuan'er flew towards the bright light against the Heishui River.
At the exit is a cascading waterfall, and Xuan'er crosses this natural curtain of water, blowing a fresh lake breeze in front of her, and the warm sunlight envelops her body. Xuan'er looked down, but saw a seven-colored rainbow in front of the waterfall, connecting the waterfall with the mirror-like lake in front of it.
Half of the lake is clear, half of it is as black as ink, and this rare natural wonder makes Xuan'er breathtaking. But she had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery, and she was deeply concerned about Chen Lin's safety.
Hovering on the surface of the lake for a long time, and never found anyone's trace, Xuan'er was extremely nervous in her heart, she couldn't imagine how she would live if she lost her master? The slender hand inadvertently landed on the jade flute hanging from her waist, Xuan'er suddenly thought of Ling Ying, she took off the jade flute, and blew it hard, the melodious sound of the flute was sent out far away along the cool lake breeze, I wonder if Ling Ying can hear her distant call?
Chen Lin woke up from his slumber due to severe pain, only to open his eyes to find his hands handcuffed, his feet shackled, chained to five other thieves, and imprisoned in an iron cage prison car.
The first thought that sprung up in Chen Lin's heart was that he was still alive, and then he guessed, "Could it be that the blue dragon captured me here?" He struggled to move his body, but woke up the thief who was tied to him, and muttered something in his mouth.
Chen Lin couldn't understand the language of the thieves, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and turned his head. Judging from the situation of escorting their soldiers in the rear, it should be subordinate to the army of the Xuanwu Empire, Chen Lin secretly shouted in his heart, if it fell into the hands of Sima Tianfeng this time, he was afraid that he would definitely die.
The thieves on the side could no longer bear their hunger and thirst, and kept praying in their mouths: "Water...... Fortunately, the pronunciation of his word ...... is quite accurate.
An imperial cavalryman rode to the prisoner cart, took out a water bladder, pulled out the bottle cork and shook it in front of the prisoner cart, several thieves came over at the same time, although Chen Lin didn't want to move, but under their pull, he had to come up, and the rough shackles immediately wore out the skin.
They were all exposed to the sun for a long time, and their bodies emitted an unpleasant smell of sweat, huddled together, and the feeling of suffocation was even worse.
The imperial cavalry deliberately lured them with water bladders, occasionally spilling a little water, and several thieves desperately squeezed over to scramble, and began to push each other for the sake of those little clear water.
Seeing the thieves squeezing each other in the prisoner car, the surrounding Imperial cavalry all burst out laughing.
Chen Lin had long understood that these soldiers were deliberately humiliating them, and his anger was even stronger in his heart, and he caught a glimpse of the long knife hanging from the waist of the cavalry, which was his own, and suddenly a plan was born in his mind, as long as he could get the long knife, he could use it to easily cut off the shackles and iron cages.
Thinking of this, he took advantage of the moment when the imperial cavalry poured water into the iron cage, and crashed headlong into the thieves beside him, hitting the bridge of the thief's nose, knocking him into a nose that bleeded for a long time, and several thieves hit Chen Lin at the same time, and Chen Lin deliberately led them to the corner of the iron cage.
In order to see more clearly, the imperial cavalry came around from behind the prisoner cart and poured clear water on the top of Chen Lin's head, intent on intensifying the battle between the prisoners. He only cared about gloating here, his body involuntarily approached the iron cage, and Chen Lin poked out half of his palm from the iron cage, grabbed the handle of the knife accurately, and suddenly snatched the long knife from his waist.
Only then did several thieves understand Chen Lin's true intention of causing the fight, and stopped attacking Chen Lin to cover Chen Lin's retreat to the other side of the prisoner car.
The imperial cavalry who had lost their long knives shouted in panic, and the surrounding cavalry heard the movement and hurriedly surrounded the prisoner cart where Chen Lin was.
Chen Lin reversed the blade and cut off the shackles like lightning, and then clamped the blade with his feet to cut off the handcuffs on his hands. At this time, the imperial cavalry who had lost his long knife raised his spear and stabbed it into the iron cage, and the two thieves reached out at the same time to grab the tip of his spear, and the palm of his hand was cut by the two blades of the spear and the bleeding would not let go.
Chen Lin shot like the wind, cutting the handcuffs and leg irons of several thieves in a short time, and then raised a long knife to cut the big lock on the iron cage. Led a few thieves to jump before the Imperial cavalry surrounded the prisoner cart.
Several thieves were the same enemy as Chen Lin at this time, and ran to the right side with Chen Lin, but unfortunately they were on a plain, and there was no hiding around them to hide.
More than 100 Imperial cavalry rode after them, and the two Imperial cavalrymen riding at the forefront bent their bows and arrows at the fleeing prisoners.
The thief beside Chen Lin couldn't dodge, and was shot in the back of the heart by a feather arrow, and the jealousy came out of his chest with flesh and blood. The thief looked at his chest in disbelief, and it took him a long time to realize what was happening, and he let out a heart-rending scream, and threw himself forward to the ground.
A cold voice shouted, "If you dare to run away, he will be your example!"
This voice was unusually familiar to Chen Lin, his figure froze there, and he slowly turned around, only to see a young general in golden armor riding above the white unicorn, the golden longbow in his hand was drawn like a fifteen full moon, and the tip of the wok, which shone with cold light, was aimed at his heart.
The young general saw Chen Lin's face clearly, and his face full of murderous food suddenly appeared with an extremely surprised look: "It's you?"
Wolf Yuan slowly released his bow and rehung the golden longbow on the unicorn's saddle pedal, waving his right hand backwards, and the Imperial warriors who followed him all lowered their weapons.
Wolf Yuan turned over and jumped off the unicorn, and slowly came to Chen Lin's face, his expression did not have the happiness of reuniting after a long absence, Chen Lin had already spread the matter of eloping with the princess throughout the Xuanwu Empire, and Feiku sorted it out before the matter was clear. , he couldn't be sure of his position, although Chen Lin was his savior, but he didn't dare to cover up such a serious crime.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you here."
Wolf Yuan said in a low voice, "Let's talk about something back to my camp."
Taking off the armor and stomach and changing into a linen robe, Wolf Yuan's body added a bit of elegance. Two warriors sent a freshly roasted yellow sheep into the tent, and the enticing aroma spread through the air.
Chen Lin unceremoniously grabbed a silver knife and cut off a leg of mutton, and chewed it heavily, he was so hungry that he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
Wolf Yuan retreated from others, poured two glasses of fine wine into the rhino horn cup, and sent one of them to Chen Lin's hand: "Why did Mr. Tang mix with the thieves?"
Chen Lin had a large piece of mutton in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I can't tell you clearly, aren't you fighting with the emperor?" How did you come to this place?"
Wolf Yuan sighed, his eyes revealing infinite melancholy: "The battle on the front line is not optimistic, this time I am sending grain and grass to the fate of General Hetier, and I happen to pass through here. ”
Chen Lin nodded, grabbed the wine glass and drank it all, only then did he feel that his hunger had subsided slightly, he picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Since you have passed here, you should have heard about Sima Tianfeng leading the army to attack Parthian City."
Wolf Yuan nodded slowly, silently holding the wine glass in front of him.
Chen Lin said: "Did you participate in the attack on Parthian City?"
Wolf Yuan took a sip of fine wine and looked at Chen Lin with tiger eyes: "You don't seem to know the real reason why the Xuanwu Empire attacked Parthian City, the thieves have been fighting against the empire for many years......
Chen Lin said angrily: "Just by relying on such a far-fetched reason, you can arbitrarily torture and kill this weak nation, and you can brutally destroy the city where the thieves rely on to survive?"
Wolf Yuan sighed: "Chen Lin, you don't know the temperament of the thieves, the killing of the thieves had been planned long before the emperor's personal conquest, but it was postponed because of the sudden outbreak of the war, and the thieves have been extremely rampant recently, and have robbed our army of grain and grass many times, if it weren't for this, I would not personally be responsible for escorting this trip of grain and grass."
Chen Lin said in a low voice: "So you didn't participate in Sima Tianfeng's attack on Parthia City?"
Wolf Yuan nodded: "I heard from my subordinates that I caught a few thieves who tried to steal grain and grass, but I didn't expect you to be among them."
Chen Lin smiled bitterly: "I didn't steal any grain and grass, after escaping from the underground world, I fell into a coma, and when I opened my eyes, I fell into the prisoner car, probably because your subordinates saw me wearing thief costumes, so they arrested me together."
Wolf Yuan said angrily: "These useless wastes only know how to fake and be greedy."
Chen Lin said: "I want to ask you to help me do something." ”
Wolf Yuan looked at Chen Lin quietly, and said for a long time: "You once saved my life, I am willing to do anything for you, but I must figure it out before I promise you......" He paused before saying, "Why did you kidnap the princess and elope?"
Chen Lin had long expected that Wolf Yuan would have this question, and his eyes staring at Wolf Yuan suddenly burst into a hearty laugh: "In your heart, am I Chen Lin a lustful person?" After asking this sentence, Chen Lin couldn't help but regret a little, the first time was invited by Wolf Yuan, of course he would think that he was a womanizer, Chen Lin didn't wait for Wolf Yuan to answer and continued: "Although I, Chen Lin, like beauty, I value my life more, and there is no reason to ignore my life in order to seduce the princess!"
Wolf Yuan said in a low voice: "With what I know about you, I don't believe that you would do such a thing."
Chen Lin said: "The real cause of this incident is that the crown prince Xuanying wants to kill Princess Xuanbo!"
"What?" Wolf Yuan was surprised, he couldn't imagine that Prince Xuanying had any reason to kill his own sister.
Chen Lin sorted out his thoughts, and told Wolf Yuan in detail what happened in the imperial capital, Wolf Yuan turned from surprise and surprise at the beginning to anger and injustice, the rhino horn cup in his hand slammed on the table, Huo Ran stood up: "These traitors, taking advantage of the emperor's presence on the front line and having no time to separate, actually did such a thing!" He was so shameless as to send someone to report false information to the emperor. ”
Chen Lin sneered: "Actually, the clearest thing about the whole thing should be the emperor, it was the secret decree that he personally handed over to Princess Xuanbo, and it hurt us to such an extent, I don't believe he will be unaware of this?"
Wolf Yuan paced back and forth for two steps, and said in a low voice: Whether the emperor knows it or not, we must sue him face to face about this matter, Chen Lin, you go to Huju Pass with me and explain this matter to the emperor in person. ”
Chen Lin sighed and said, "But Princess Xuanbo and I can't find their whereabouts after they were separated from the Heishui River, even if we see the emperor, how can we win his trust?" ”
Wolf Yuan said decisively: "I will send someone to look carefully in the vicinity, and Ling Pai's cronies will stay here, and as long as I see the princess, I will immediately escort her to Huju Pass." His Majesty's presence in the Tiger Pass is known to the whole Empire, and it may not be known that the princess may have rushed there now. ”
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Okay!" Just do as you say! ”
The matter of transporting grain and grass was urgent, and after looking for Princess Xuanbo and others near the station to find nothing, Chen Lin traveled west with Wolf Yuan to Huju Pass.
Wolf Yuan instructed Chen Lin not to reveal his identity in advance, and claimed to the outside world that he was a cronie sent by him to spy on the military situation among the thieves, so as not to cause other incidents, Chen Lin changed into the armor of the imperial warrior and mixed in with the grain transportation troops, he was enthusiastic and bold by nature, and soon mingled with the soldiers around him. Five days later, I had entered the Qiqu Beach, which was only a hundred miles away from Huju Pass, which was a swampy area that looked like a flat grassland, but when I walked up, I found that the place where I landed was extremely soft, and soon it fell to the ankles, and in many places even to the knees.
Although Wolf Yuan passed through here many times, he still showed caution, letting ten Imperial soldiers form a small team to explore the way at the front, and the convoy followed far behind.
In the evening, a wagon full of grain and grass fell into a swamp, and the troops had to stop and use other horses and horses to pull the wagon out.
Chen Lin asked puzzledly, "Since this road is full of swamps, why don't you bypass here?" ”
Wolf Yuan's sword eyebrows tightened: "The battle on the front line is urgent, the army is facing the danger of running out of food, if you choose to bypass the swamp in a roundabout, it will take at least two more days, and two days are enough to determine the success or failure of a war." ”
With the joint efforts of all the soldiers, the carriage full of grain and grass was finally pulled out of the mud, and Wolf Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and gave the order to camp and rest on the 'Tumu Island' five miles ahead, because night had fallen, and the snakes and insects hidden in the swamp during the day began to dispatch, not to mention that at night the water in the swamp would increase compared with the day, and the swamp would become softer, and the surface could not bear the burden of grain and grass.
Tumu Island is the only field in this large swamp, this one-kilometer radius of the field is covered with towering ancient trees, branches and leaves, and there is an open meadow in the middle, which is where Lang Yuan chose to camp.
After dinner, Chen Lin climbed to the top of Tumu Island alone, staring at the deep and distant night sky, since returning to the earthly world, he has not carefully tasted the night starry sky, tonight's sky is unusually clear, and the stars are shining. Chen Lin couldn't help but think of Xuan'er and Xuanbo, I wonder if Ya Yi'an escaped with them? He couldn't help but be deeply worried about their fate, if they escaped from danger, why hadn't Xuan'er found herself so far? She is proficient in bird language, and she should be able to find out her whereabouts soon with the help of birds, right...... Chen Lin didn't dare to continue thinking about it, closed his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.
The same starlight, the same night sky, Xuan'er is also looking at the night sky at the moment and secretly melancholy.
Ling Ying quietly came to her side and said softly, "Thinking about Chen Lin again?" ”
Xuan'er nodded, and her beautiful eyes as clear as water rippled with heartbreaking ripples: "If it weren't for saving us, the master wouldn't have ......" Thinking of Chen Lin's amiable smile, Xuan'er couldn't help but sob.
Ling Ying sighed: "Chen Lin is a real man!" His hands were cut behind his back, and he comforted Xuan'er: "I believe that people like him will never be fine, because his luck is too good......" Ling Ying seemed to feel that the description of this sentence was a bit inaccurate, and paused and said: "Jiren has his own natural appearance!" ”
Xuan'er repeated softly: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, not bad!" The host will be fine! ”
