Chapter 166 Moving Forward

When Cheng Yaojin got the arrow, the white-haired young man didn't know at all. At this time, Old Cheng had already pulled out the crossbow arrow and then inserted it into the other leg of the young man. Just as he was about to draw out the crossbow arrow again, the young man waved to Cheng Yaojin, and a huge force drove Old Cheng away.

The moment he was lifted up, Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned black and there was no idea anything. The white-haired young man looked at his two bloody legs, without any anger on his face. Instead, he smiled slightly, looked at the direction where Cheng Yaojin landed, and said to himself: "What an interesting person..."

Before he could finish his words, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the air: "It's almost time. If you kill Cheng Yaojin, we should leave."

"I changed my mind." After a smile on his face, the young man continued, "For such an interesting person, let him live for a few more days. It is still a long way from Chang'an, and we have time..."

When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Yaojin was already full of personal soldiers following him. After a while, Old Cheng realized where he was. Then he remembered the nightmare just now, and looked around in the room. The tables, chairs, beds and beds were still fine, without any damage.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, it was already dark. Lao Cheng's face immediately sank. He said to his personal captain: "Don't you ask you to call me up in two hours? Is it two hours now?"

"Your Highness, our brothers have called me, but no matter how you call me, there is no way to make you scream." After the captain of the personal soldiers said timidly, the other personal soldiers behind him also proved for him that they had tried all the tricks of wiping the wet towel and creaking under their armpits, but Old Cheng was like a dead pig. While snoring, he was talking in his sleep. In the dream, Cheng Yaojin cried and screamed. The personal soldiers were so scared that they didn't dare to take action, just waiting for His Highness King Lu to wake up by himself.

"I am talking in my sleep, crying and screaming..." At this time, Lao Cheng felt something was wrong. He hurriedly opened his coat and saw that although the crossbow hidden inside had no changes, the arrows inside were covered with red blood.

The moment he saw the blood, sweat came out from Lao Cheng's forehead. After a long time of slowing down, he continued to say to his personal soldiers: "Hurry up, go and see how the Central Army, Lao Zhang and the others are doing..."

When he heard King Lu talk about these two people for no reason, several personal soldiers looked at each other. Finally, the captain of the personal soldiers said: "I originally planned to report to you later. Zhang Jun, the guard of the Central Army, had an emergency when he was sleeping just now, and he was already dead. I went to find the doctor in the city and said it was a psychopathy. It should be because of the fatigue of the journey these days..."

"Needless to say, you can retreat first." When Cheng Yaojin spoke, he couldn't stop sweating. After pausing for a moment, Old Cheng said to several personal soldiers who had retreated to the door: "You go and pass on the king's order, and rest here tonight. We will continue to rush to the road after dawn tomorrow... Gu Datong and Zhang Jun buried them on the spot. Remember the burial address. Wait until you come back and send the corpse back to your hometown for burial."

After the personal soldiers left, Cheng Yaojin lay on the bed again and began to desperately recall what happened in his dream. He could still remember what happened, but the appearance of the white-haired young man became blurred. No matter what, Old Cheng could not remember the appearance of that person.

After a while, the personal soldiers asked Cheng Yaojin to get up for dinner. After the local officials learned that His Highness King Lu was here, they brought a large number of fine wine and dozens of fat pigs that had just been slaughtered. They were cooked or roasted and sent to the outside of the inn. Now these officials lined up at the entrance of the inn, waiting for His Highness King Lu to summon him.

However, His Highness Lu was not in the mood now. After the personal soldiers drove away the officials, they distributed the wine and meat to the outside military. Looking at the wine and meat sent by the personal soldiers, they were stunned. They were obviously hungry, but they had no intention of eating and drinking.

After having a nightmare during the day, Old Cheng didn't dare to sleep this night. He finally waited until dawn, and then gathered his troops to continue his journey. Although he slept all day yesterday, Cheng Yaojin still couldn't stand it. He stopped riding his tall horse now, and he squeezed into a carriage with Guangxiao, Guan Wuming and Kungkai. He waited for the three monks to take a nap. The white-haired young man yesterday would no longer appear...

Seeing Cheng Yaojin sleepy eyes and yawning, Monk Konghai smiled slightly, took off the Buddhist beads on his neck, and took them around Lao Cheng's neck, and said, "This is the Buddhist beads used by the Tathagata disciple Subhuti. If your highness has any troubles, these Buddhist beads can calm your mind."

"Isn't it for you, monk? Without you, where did I get the troubles?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Monk Konghai without knowing his knowledge, and continued to say to the monks beads in his hand, "Old Cheng, let's ask more, Monk Konghai, are you really going to Chang'an for those envoys who sent Tang? Let's give an example... A sudden accident occurred along the way and they all died. Do you want to go to Chang'an again?"

"If several envoys sent to Tang have an accident, then Kōkai is envoy of Tang." After a smile, Monk Kōkai continued, "The envoy of Tang came to send the letter of state and tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and asked some craftsmen to Japan to teach disciples. The envoy of Tang was no longer there, and the mission fell on Kōkai's shoulders."

"In other words, even if the envoys sent to Tang died, Kong Hai, you still have to go to Chang'an, right?" Cheng Yaojin sighed and said to himself: "If you want to go to Chang'an no matter what, then this road will not work. What a pity..."

After saying this, Guangxiao, Guan Wuming and Kōkai all looked at each other. The three of them understood what Cheng Yaojin meant. If Kōkai said that as long as the envoy of Shi Tang suddenly had an accident, he would return to Japan. If His Highness Lu could not do it well, he would really create an accident, and the envoys of Shi Tang died in the accident.

Guangxiao originally wanted to persuade him a few times, but then he found that Lao Cheng was already snoring in his seat. The three monks then sighed at the same time. Looking at the saliva flowing from the corner of His Highness Lu's mouth, Guangxiao said: "This demon king in the world is really uneasy to play the game..."

The army didn't know how long it had been, but Cheng Yaojin, who was still sleeping, was suddenly awakened by his own soldiers. After Old Cheng opened his eyes, he looked at the white-faced soldiers and said, "Did you forget what to wake me up? Why? The emperor is not capable of..."

The personal soldiers did not dare to wait until Cheng Yaojin finished speaking the tyrant words, and immediately interrupted and said, "Your Highness, you can come out and take a look... There is a human bone pit in front of you..."

Cheng Yaojin looked at the face of his personal soldiers and knew that something had happened. He was not in the mood to talk nonsense at the moment. After jumping out of the carriage, he came to the Guan Road ahead under the guidance of his personal soldiers. He saw a deep pit several feet above the Guan Road, full of newly cut human bones, which was estimated to be as many as two or three thousand.

The only way to pass by Cheng Yaojin's brigade, the meaning of digging out a deep pit and throwing down the corpse is very clear. Thousands of human skin monsters have been prepared in front, and they have all been dealt with by these human skin monsters, and they will be made into such corpses and are still in the tunnel.

After seeing the scene in front of him, the slutty face of Cheng Yaojin turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your pit is buried, keep on rushing..."

On the hillside on the other side, the young man in white who appeared in Cheng Yaojin's nightmare stood here and saw the situation below, and said to a man in black wearing a black cloak beside him: "Guess, Wu Mian, where are the ones who are hiding in Gui Bugui?"
