Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in and Out of the Temple Chapter 71 Mentality and Change
After the Spring Festival, the sky began to clear.
The group escorted a prisoner car and slowly drove from Tongzhou to Chang'an.
Tongzhou to Chang'an, thousands of miles of distance, if it is Yujian, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to reach, but if it is walking, it will be a long and painful process.
Although the sun has poked its head out, the temperature is still a little uncomfortable. As the saying goes, the snow is not cold, but the sun is shining, and it is a little weird to wear a leather jacket, after all, you want to give the sun hanging in the air a little face, but if you come out in ordinary clothes, it can be so cold that it makes people's teeth tremble.
Xu Changan sat in the prisoner car, and he had already changed into a plain dress. Since leaving the Ling'an Mansion, when they felt that no one was paying attention to this place anymore, the escort officer immediately changed Xu Changan into a set of clean clothes, although he was in the prison car, but the mat below was very expensive at a glance.
Xu Changan was lying in the prisoner car, with his head in his hand and a piece of grass in his mouth, and a white kitten in the cage lay quietly beside Xu Changan.
If Xu Changan hadn't wanted to see the scenery along the way, he was afraid that the prisoner car would have been replaced by an eight-lift sedan chair.
Xiao Bai got a lot of things in this Tongzhou, not only ate a big python Neidan that was about to turn into a dragon, but also shared that trace of true dragon essence blood with Xu Changan.
Now that Xu Changan is beside him, there is a faint feeling of being suppressed.
Xiaobai stretched lazily, a pair of small eyes rolled slightly, Xu Changan glanced at it, and it immediately came to its senses.
The corners of its mouth pulled out a hint of a humane evil smile, Xu Changan was shocked, and looked at the ill-intentioned Xiaobai vigilantly.
Xiaobai rushed forward, and jumped to the top of Xu Changan's head with a familiar car, Xu Changan only felt that the sunlight was blocked instantly, and his head suddenly sank.
Xu Changan wanted to catch Xiaobai off, its tail swept away, and hit the back of Xu Changan's hand like a whip, Xu Changan hurriedly withdrew his hand, and there was a hot pain on the back of his hand.
Suddenly, the little white monster screamed, stood up, and grabbed Xu Changan's hair firmly with his claws, making Xu Changan grin, and tears were about to hurt out.
He hurriedly waved his hand, and the convoy immediately stopped.
"Young Master Xu, what's the matter?" The escort official was still very polite.
Xu Changan's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "There is an enemy!"
"How can it be? Xu Gongzi, don't look at us, there are only seven or eight people here, but for the sake of Xu Gongzi's safety, there are many people in secret!" Although the escort official was a little displeased, he still said respectfully.
When Xu Changan heard such a reply, he naturally knew that this person didn't believe him anyway, but he believed in Xiaobai, and he knew that Xiaobai had terrifying perception. This is also shown in the mound.
He didn't bother to argue with these people, he spat out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, untied the burner wrapped in sackcloth, and held the long sword tightly.
The escort officer shook his head, although this Xu Gongzi didn't believe in himself, they were very confident in their arrangement.
But in the next second, the escort officer's mouth opened wide.
They didn't receive any notice or warning, and suddenly there were a few more people in front of them.
Xu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, and there were several old acquaintances standing in front of him.
Dressed in white, with a thin figure, from a distance, the figure is very attractive.
Of course, not to look at his sneering evil face and beyond his gender.
Qing Jiu took a folding fan and stood in the middle of the road, dressed in white, and raised himself in the wind.
Xu Changan subconsciously shrank his body and tightened his purple clothes, somewhat admiring this kind of person who does not need temperature as long as he has demeanor.
"Who is ahead? escort the court for repeat offenders, and irrelevant personnel quickly avoid it!"
Qing Jiu didn't answer him, just stared at Xu Changan with a smile.
Before the escorts wanted to speak, the Qingjiu folding fan shook slightly, and a huge force struck, and the seven or eight escorts who accompanied him immediately fell to the ground and gnawed on a mouthful of mud!
The wooden prisoner cart was also torn apart, and Xu Changan had to jump out.
"It seems that you are recovering well!" Qing Jiu said as he stared at the long sword in Xu Chang'an's hand.
Xu Changan didn't answer him, just looked at Qing Jiu, he really couldn't figure out why Qing Jiu came to him at this juncture.
But soon Qing Jiu gave the answer.
"Last time you fled without a fight, you can't escape today, right?"
Xu Changan was a little tired, he had experienced so many things, he was really tired, and he couldn't understand where Qing Jiu's hostility towards him came from.
"You know, there is a kind of person, the more you can't get it, the more you want to get it, and the more you run away from me, the more I want to find you. ”
Xu Changan was a little incomprehensible, why fight, bask in the sun and pet the cat, isn't life very good?
Thinking of the cat, Xu Changan remembered that Xiaobai was still standing on top of his head, grabbed him, and threw him to the ground.
When Xiaobai landed, he still maintained a defensive posture, bowing down, and his hair stood on end.
"Could it be that Qing Jiu can bring such a big threat?"
Xu Changan didn't think much about it, but now he understands one thing, that is, how happy it is to sleep comfortably and plainly. Behind your peace and joy, I don't know how many people fought bloodily. Since he got to know Qian Laosan and Su Qing, it was really difficult to be interested in these unnecessary fights and killings.
"You won. Xu Changan turned around in a dashing manner and sat on the prisoner cart with only the bare board left.
Qing Jiu's face was a little ugly, like an aggressive person punching cotton. At the same time, I felt that Xu Changan looked down on him even more.
Xu Changan sat on the wooden board, holding the dog's tail grass that he didn't know when he picked up again, holding the long sword, and said in a leisurely manner: "How good it is to bask in the sun, why do you have to fight and kill." ”
Qing Jiu shook his head: "What if I have to kill you?"
Xu Changan put the long sword on his lap and spread his hands: "You don't have to kill me, we just had a little misunderstanding in Yunmeng Mountain, you also have your chance, and now you don't need blood to maintain your appearance, so what's the reason to distinguish between life and death?"
Qing Jiu nodded in agreement: "Your statement is very right!" The smile on Xu Changan's face had not fully bloomed, and it froze instantly.
"But I still want to fight with you, and what I have agreed upon cannot be changed. ”
Xu Changan sighed: "I admit that you can't win?"
Qing Jiu shook his head: "This is an insult to me. ”
"Let's be honest, we don't really have to fight. We don't have a blood feud, we don't have a conflict of interest, it's just a little misunderstanding in Yunmeng Mountain. ”
Qing Jiu looked at Xu Changan incredulously, and he suddenly felt as if he didn't know this person.
If it was in the past, Xu Changan would definitely face it.
"This peace is not easy to come by, if you want to fight or kill, it shouldn't be for a little bit of a battle of will, right?" Xu Changan cautiously persuaded Qing Jiu.
Qing Jiu was silent for a while, thought for a while, and then said, "What if I want to kill you?"
"You have no reason to kill me. Xu Changan was quite confident, but in the next second he knew that he was wrong.
Qing Jiu only said three words.
"Regulus. ”
This is the name of the eldest prince, and he also has enough reasons to kill himself, and even more enough reasons to find someone to kill him.
Xu Changan stood up, took out his long sword, and said lightly: "It seems that I have to make a move in order to survive." ”
Xu Changan didn't talk nonsense, didn't have an opening statement, jumped out of the prisoner cart with a long sword, and slashed over with a sword.
Qing Jiu didn't expect Xu Chang'an's attack to be so swift, so he hurriedly resisted, but this also made him take several steps back.
Xu Changan raised his eyebrows at Qing Jiu and looked at the copper bowl that Qing Jiu sacrificed.
There was a faint red light around the copper bowl, which looked a little demonic, and there was a sharp contrast with the red light on Xu Chang'an's long sword.
Xu Changan didn't feel threatened, and while the red mangs had not skyrocketed, he slashed down with a sword.
"Pingshan!" This is the sword trick in "Ben Lei", there are no gorgeous sword moves, but it is quite practical, Xu Chang'an has become more and more proficient in this "Ben Lei" during his time in Tongzhou.
The huge sword shadow slashed towards the copper bowl, and the two red rays collided, dissipating without a trace like ice melting and snow melting.
The crisp sound of the copper bowl falling to the ground came, and Qing Jiu spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Not only Qing Jiu was a little surprised, but even Xu Changan himself was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that after the baptism of battle, he would have such a big change.
Qing Jiu was a little down, but he was not disappointed.
Although he knew every move, he knew that his main purpose was not to win or lose, but to take Xu Changan's life!
Now Xu Chang'an's life is worth a lot, I don't know who got an assassination warrant, almost all the killers are rushing towards Xu Chang'an, for the prestige and good bounty, but Xu Changan doesn't know all this.
"I really can't beat it!" Qing Jiu muttered to himself, and then clapped his hands.
There were three more people behind Qing Jiu, one was the water hater that Xu Changan had seen, and the other two old men he didn't know, but he could guess from the dark red robes on their bodies that this should be the elder of the Holy Mountain.
"The Great Prince promised that if he captured you alive or sent your body away, he would find a way to rescue the Holy Lord. Qing Jiu said lightly.
The two Holy Mountain Elders looked at Xu Changan as if they had something in their pockets.
"Then I have to fight hard!" Xu Changan sighed.
One of the Sacred Mountain Elders looked at Xu Changan with disdain, and sneered: "It's just a peak of comprehension, it's useless for you to work hard!"
As he spoke, two breaths of the peak of the little grandmaster appeared on the bodies of the two elders.
Xu Changan finally understood where the threat Xiaobai felt came from at this time.
"Ahem!"
There was a cough behind him.
Xu Changan turned around to look, only to see the accompanying old military doctor who had been fanned by Qing Jiuyi stood up.
"Where you came from, go back!"
Xu Changan looked at the old military doctor in surprise, he never expected that General Xu would send a master to protect him.
The old military doctor said, with a wave of his big sleeves, the corners of the mouths of the two little grandmasters were bleeding, and their faces were full of horror, and the four of them turned around and left when they saw this.
"Boy, young people are grinding and chirping when they fight, it's not like words!" said the old military doctor slowly, packing up the medicine basket that had just been overturned.
Xu Changan scratched his head.
"What's so good about fighting, it's really not worth it for a little desire for yourself. When Xu Changan said this, he suddenly thought of many people, such as Qian Laosan, such as the group of Sky Eagles who sacrificed.
"Although he is not very old, he is very old!"
Xu Changan smiled innocently and scratched his head.
......
A letter was quickly delivered to Chang'an.
"Xu Changan's son, cultivate more, over time, it can be of great use!"
An old man wearing a cloth hexagram with messy hair smiled with satisfaction when he saw this line of writing.
