Let’s see who can make whom angry to death
In the ice room at the back of the mountain, Duan Yao was holding the luminous pearl and looking at the spiritual energy and mental methods on the stone wall: “Is this the Bodhi Heart Sutra?”
Duan Baiyue said: “Yes.”
Duan Yao said: “No wonder Master wants to give you Xuanming Hantie.” It has the most powerful yin energy and poison. Putting two and two together, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort. I had always wondered why a piece of iron could be called invincible, and I thought that maybe one day it would become completely different. But it was only now that I realized that Xuanming Hantie was supposed to have this mottled appearance. As for whether it is a broken iron or a demon sword, it all depends on who is wielding it.
Duan Baiyue asked: “Is it cold?”
“It’s okay.” Duan Yao said, “When I was a child, I always wanted to come to this ice room, but Master always wouldn’t let me.”
Duan Baiyue smiled and leaned against the stone wall in trance.
“Are you really not going out to have a look?” Duan Yao asked.
Duan Baiyue shook his head.
Duan Yao looked at him and wanted to speak, but the stone door was suddenly opened.
Duan Baiyue’s heart suddenly became empty, and he turned his head and looked outside.
But only Master came in.
Duan Baiyue’s expression was slightly stiff, and the brilliance in his eyes looked fleeting.
Duan Yao asked: “Does the emperor want to demolish the Southwest Mansion?”
Nan Moxie said: “He has said all he need to say. The Emperor has now returned back to Wangcheng.”
Duan Baiyue closed his eyes slightly and said in a hoarse voice: “Thank you, Master.”
“He met assassins when he was coming here.” Nan Moxie continued, “He doesn’t know where they come from. But their martial art skills are very good. The shadow guards were injured, and even Duan Nian was hit by the attack. The reason why he didn’t come back to the Southwest Mansion together with him this time is because he is still recovering from his injuries in Moonlight City.”
“Assassin?” Duan Baiyue suddenly opened his eyes.
“And judging by his walking posture, it seems that even the emperor was injured.” Nan Moxie said, “Moonlight City is still more than twenty days of journey from Southwest Mansion. During this period, he may have been traveling with injuries.”
“The shadow guards are injured and Duan Nian is not with him. What will he do on his way back?” Duan Yao asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Baiyue had already left the ice room.
Nan Moxie patted Duan Yao’s shoulder and motioned for him to follow.
The black horse galloped across the street, and the people in the market fled in all directions, complaining with lingering fears. Where did this rough man come from, so ignorant of etiquettes. But after he left, before the seller could set up the stall again, another man galloped over with his horse whipped, so the big guy had to hide again holding the dustpan. But this time he could see clearly, it turned out that the person on the back of the horse is Duan Yao.
The crowd immediately applauded in unison.
This is a great riding position!
After all, everyone loves the little prince. He was tender when he was a child, but he is heroic when he grows up. When they see him, they feel happy and want to marry him their daughter.
It’s okay to ride a horse in the downtown area, because there must be something big happening.
As the sun gradually set, Chu Yuan tied the horses to a tree. He found a clearing in the forest, gathered dry firewood and built a fire. As he sat beside the horse lost in thought, he didn’t eat anything.
Duan Yao peeped from behind him: “Your Majesty.”
Chu Yuan still poked the fire with the wooden stick in his hand, and did not turn his head.
“Your Majesty.” Duan Yao sat beside him and turned to look at him, feeling a little apprehensive.
“You have grown up.” Chu Yuan wiped the mist off his shoulders for him, “Three years really went fast.”
“If you travel a little more for an hour, and you will reach a small village.” Duan Yao said, “Why don’t you go there to rest tonight.” Although it is also a humble place, but at least there is a roof to cover you. It can’t be worse than eating here and sleeping in the cold.
“It’s better to stay in the woods.” Chu Yuan said, “The stars are good tonight, I don’t think it will snow.”
Duan Yao said again: “Then I’ll go hunt some snow chickens, there’s nothing else to eat here.”
“No need.” Chu Yuan said, “It’s already very good for you to come and see me.”
“The Southwest Mansion has dispatched an army, and will escort the emperor all the way, and they are guarding outside the forest at this time.” Duan Yao said, “There is also a doctor. I heard from Master that the emperor seems to be injured, do you want him to come in?”
“It’s okay, it’s just a sword wound.” Chu Yuan said, “I’ll accept the army for the time being. As for you, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest earlier. You don’t need to stay here.”
Duan Yao said: “I will leave at dawn.”
“Alright.” Chu Yuan smiled, and continued to watch the fire in a daze, and did not speak again.
The forest was so still that one could almost hear the rustling of dead leaves.
Aren’t you really not gonna mention brother? Duan Yao held a piece of dead grass in his hand, and felt relieved, but also felt sad and wanted to cry.
In the middle of the night, Chu Yuan changed his posture and fell asleep leaning against a tree.
Duan Yao took off his cloak, wrapped the person carefully, and made the fire a little hotter. He stayed with him until the first light of dawn, then turned and left.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Chu Yuan opened his eyes and kept looking at the sky. The emotions on his face were indistinguishable.
Duan Yao walked out of the woods all the way, and then said: “Let’s go back to the mansion, the emperor is fine.”
“He is fine now, but it doesn’t mean there will be no accidents along the way.” Duan Baiyue said, “I’ll send him back to Wangcheng.”
“I know, it’s not surprising at all.” Duan Yao sighed, “Then I’ll go back first, you should be careful all the way.”
Duan Baiyue nodded and strode into the dense forest.
After a sleepless night, Chu Yuan was a little dizzy. He found a cold stream to wash his face, only then he regained little energy. Looking back, he saw the Southwest Army lined up neatly in two rows, accompanied by a carriage. They knelt on one knee and bowed their heads: “We greet Your Majesty.”
“Rise.” Chu Yuan coughed softly and bent down to get into the carriage. There was a brocade quilt heater inside, as well as snacks, hot tea, and a few volumes of books. I guess he was afraid that the journey would be boring.
“Drive!” The coachman whipped his whip and drove the carriage all the way north.
Chongyang, Luhue, Qishui, Tianmin… they passed one town after another along the way, getting further and further away from Southwest Mansion. It was dark at night. Inside the inn in Hongmu City, Chu Yuan raised his head and drank a glass of turbid wine. The taste was spicy and he was choked to tears.
After crossing the Mengqi River, they will arrive at the border of Great Chu. Since he followed all the way, why didn’t he even show his face.
Duan Baiyue, Duan Baiyue.
The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered instantly. Chu Yuan closed his eyes, his heart felt like a knife, and his cheeks were cold.
Hongmu City once was considered an important town in the southwest. But later it gradually lost its status as a fortress because of the diversion of the river. In addition, the soil here is poor, and there is no way to grow melons, fruits and food. Therefore, the people have moved one after another in the past few years, and many houses in this city have been left empty, and the door locks of some have even rotted.
The candlelight flickered slightly, illuminating the gray tables and chairs around it, as well as a dozen ferocious faces. There was a long knife and night clothes on the table. One look at it and it was clear that something was going to happen tonight. Everyone was chatting in low voices, but they were speaking in foreign languages. Looking at their appearance, they all had thick eyebrows, dark skin and high cheekbones, as if they came from the Southeast Asian region.
One of the hook-nosed men, who seemed to be the leader, raised the wine bowl and drank it in one breath. Then he slapped the table, picked up the sword, and rushed out, but before he could even put a step out of the door, he stopped suddenly .
Duan Baiyue stood in the courtyard holding a sword, looking at everyone coldly. He was dressed in black and almost blended into the night. His silver mask glowed coldly under the moonlight, and his eyes were like a bloodthirsty tiger.
The other party obviously didn’t expect that there would be an extra person in this courtyard for no reason. They were suddenly shocked and drew their swords at him.
Duan Baiyue said: “Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”
The one with the hooked nose screamed strangely, and he jumped up and slashed down in the air with his sword. His moves were so weird that he looked more like a zombie than a human being. More than ten people behind him also attacked from different directions, trying to surround and kill them.
Duan Baiyue dodged it. A cold light flashed in his hand. Xuanming Hantie buzzed in the cold air, and the moment it touched the blood, strange patterns appeared on the blade.
There were screams one after another, and blood splashed all over the wall in an instant. Everyone rolled and twisted on the ground, their minds were almost overwhelmed by panic and severe pain— they were defeated in one move, and it was a disastrous defeat. With such a big gap in their skills, they couldn’t even tell whether the person standing in front of them was a god or a ghost.
Duan Baiyue put his sword back into its sheath, waved to the accompanying shadow guards, and whispered some instructions.
“Yes.” The shadow guards nodded, and after taking those people away, they set fire to the abandoned house.
Since no one lived in the surrounding area, it was not until the early morning of the next day that the street patrol officer found out that there was a fire. So he rushed to report to the officials. He thought that thankfully no one lived there, otherwise he was afraid that people would die.
Until noon that day, Chu Yuan hadn’t come out yet. The accompanying commander of the Southwest army bravely knocked on the door and said cautiously, “Your Majesty, are we still going to be on our way today?”
Chu Yuan shook his head: “Let’s rest for two more days, I’m tired.”
The commander quickly accepted the order and closed the door for him again.
Duan Baiyue sat on the roof holding his sword, looking at Hongmu Inn from a distance. The windows were not covered, and a vague figure could be seen, eating, reading, or standing in a daze.
Chu Yuan removed the bandage on his calf. The wound was no longer as deep as before, but still oozing blood. After gritting his teeth and applying the medicine, his back was already covered with cold sweat. Chu Yuan threw the medicine bottle aside. His face was pale, and he let out a sigh of relief.
The number one genius doctor in the world can also prepare such fatal wound medicine.
“Sneeze!” Ye Jin sneezed.
“Caught a cold?” Shen Qianfeng reached out and tried the temperature of his forehead, “If I had known, I would have traveled a lot longer last night. Even if we had just found a ruined temple, you wouldn’t have to sleep in the forest all night.”
“Drive!” Ye Jin didn’t seem to hear what he was saying, and swung the reins hard, leaving the man far behind.
Leader Shen had a headache. He waved his hand and ordered the secret guards to follow him, chasing him with smoke and dust billowing all the way.
Ye Jin was furious. How could someone who became an emperor still run around everywhere? Everyone knows that Southwest Mansion is a nest of insects. If you go there in normal conditions, it is possible that you are possessed by evil.
Later in the evening, Chu Yuan opened the door and called for wine and food. In a remote and secluded area, there are not many bottles of good wine. Only Shaoxing wine from the south of the Yangtze River is known here.
“Your Majesty.” Shadow Guard suggested him, “I’m afraid you shouldn’t drink because you are injured.”
“It’s just one or two cups.” Chu Yuan said, “It doesn’t matter.”
After the shadow guard retreated, Chu Yuan opened the window and stood by the window with a majestic wine jar.
Duan Baiyue’s eyes widened.
Chu Yuan opened the seal, poured a large bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, choking until his face turned red.
Duan Baiyue: “…”
Second bowl.
The third bowl.
The fourth bowl.
…
Duan Baiyue felt that he seemed to have mistaken things to be too simple.
