    Chapter 184 The Prince who blocked the mountain road defeated the robbery

    He told him to let Fengxin stay here first to guard the king and queen, and he left the small house by himself. As I walked all the way back, my heart was beating wildly. After walking a long way and making sure that Fengxin really didn't keep up, I was relieved.

    Concentrating, walking and stopping for more than ten miles, Xie Lian finally picked a place that he felt suitable - a mountain road in the wilderness.

    Looking around at no one, Xie Lian covered his face with white silk, wrapped his face tightly, jumped up the tree, hid his figure, and held his breath. Next, wait for passers-by to pass.

    Yes, his "method" is the so-called "robbing the rich to help the poor".

    In the past, Xie Lian had only heard this kind of story in storytelling and storybooks. He had never done it, and never thought of doing it. Because, he originally thought so: no matter how beautified, no matter how legitimate the purpose, robbery is robbery, and stealing is stealing. Otherwise, with Xie Lian's skills, let alone stealing something from the eaves and walls, killing all the guards and evacuating a silver vault is not a problem.

    But at this point, there is really no way. If I must say, "robbing" is slightly better than "stealing", probably because the former is still "open and aboveboard". After struggling for a long time, Xie Lian still slapped himself in the face, intending to rob other people's wealth and help his own poverty.

    This is the fastest way!

    Xie pity squatted on the tree, the moon black wind was high, the four fields were silent and empty, but his heart was beating wildly.

    Even when hunting the most vicious monsters, he was never so nervous. He took out a cold and hard steamed bun from his sleeve, and his hands were shaking slightly.

    If you can still choose between eating and drinking, it can only mean that you are not really hungry. After Xie Lian understood this, he suddenly became accustomed to the taste of steamed buns.

    Winter is approaching, and the night is extremely cold. Xie Lian is nibbling on the cold steamed buns while snorting white air. Because he didn't want to be seen, Xie Lian didn't think about the place with many people at all. He specially picked the remote place and waited for two hours before a pedestrian walked slowly at the end of the mountain road.

    Xie pity was refreshed, two or three mouthfuls stuffed the steamed bun, staring at the pedestrian who was slowly approaching, and found that it was an old man.

    Such an old man, although the clothes are still bright, should be very rich, but of course, it is not in the consideration of Xie Lian. don't know if he was disappointed or relieved. In short, he decisively ignored it, let him go and continued to wait for the next person.

    An hour later, Xie Lian squatted until his feet were numb and his lower body was almost stiff, and then he waited for the second person. Seeing that the man was walking very slowly, he thought, "Is he an old man again?"

    When the man slowly approached, he realized that he was not an old man, but a young man.

    The young man looked simple and honest, with a big smile on his face. The reason he walked slowly was because he was carrying a heavy bag of rice. Thanks for the sweat in the palms of the hands, and said to himself in the heart: "...Do you want to do it?"

    After a moment of hesitation, he gave up.

    The reason for giving up was that the young man was in ragged clothes, his straw sandals were worn out, his toes were exposed, and his family was obviously poor. He was so happy because he finally had a bag of rice to eat. Maybe the people in his family had been hungry for many days. Maybe this bag of rice was bought by him selling the only cow in the family. Wouldn't it be desperate if you were robbed?

    Xie Lian thought about it a lot, and then he thought that maybe half of the rice could be enough, but at this time, the young man had already gone a long way. Therefore, Xie Lian decided to stop thinking about it and continued to wait for the next one.

    In this way, he squatted on this tree and waited for several hours, from dark to dawn. During this period, about a dozen pedestrians passed through this mountain road. Every time Xie Lian wanted to do something, he let them go for various reasons that were not suitable for him. He thought several times, forget it! Let's go back! There is no robber like him, and it is a ghost who can gain something. However, when I thought about going back, the medicine was gone and the food was gone, so I had to bite the bullet and continue to wait.

    After a long time, finally, the last passerby came from a distance on the mountain road.

    It was a middle-aged man, dressed gorgeously, either rich or expensive, with a ferocious appearance and oily gas, which made people disgusted, and he didn't look like a good person.

    However, the so-called person can't be seen, Xie Lian couldn't help but think: "What if this person just looks fierce, but is actually a good person? Even if he has money, does he deserve to be robbed?"

    He was struggling to overcome the hurdle in his heart, and a sudden sound of cooing woke him up. Xie Lian sighed in his heart and said: "Forget it, I can't control that much. It's just you!"

    After making up his mind, he jumped down from the tree and said, "Stop!"

    Halfway through, a masked man appeared. The man was startled and said vigilantly, "Who are you? What are you trying to hide here with your face covered?!"

    Xie Lian bit the bullet and said: "...Take...Take..." There was always an obstacle in his heart. He stuck several times before shouting that sentence - "Hand over your money!"

    The man opened his mouth wide, jumped three feet high, and said, "Someone! Help! Bandit!" After shouting, he ran away. Compared with being escaped by him, Xie Lian was actually more worried that he would shout and attract others. Although it is unlikely that he would be recruited here, even if he was recruited, he would be able to escape immediately. Said: "Stop! Stop shouting!"

    How could the man listen, he escaped and got into the woods, screaming "Ouch". Xie Lian was worried that there were beasts in the woods and attacked the man, and said quickly: "Wait! Be careful!..." Who knows, after chasing in, he was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale!

    In the woods, a few people were already standing, all looking at him here. Xie Lian took a closer look and found that it was not right, these were not people at all. Because the middle-aged man didn't seem to see them at all, and he was still in a panic, and several of them were very familiar with their pity.

    Of course it's familiar. He had seen several of these in Xianjing before, some who went to heaven and some who went to heaven. All are priests!

    The man screamed just now because he fell, holding a large string of amulets in his hand, and said, "Daxian Daxian! Come and save me! Quickly help me!" And the "Daxian" he shouted were also true As he wished, he had come.

    At this moment, several pairs of priests' eyes are staring at Xie Lian, so that he can't move. Seeing that the masked monster who robbed him stayed where he was, the man quickly got up and ran away. Xie Lian couldn't even take a step to chase. He was already stiff, sweating all over his body, and his heart was full of fear.

    Yes, fear.

    He only hoped that this white ling would wrap his face tightly enough that these little priests who had dealt with him in the past would not recognize him. However, the opposite happened. A priest looked at him and said in surprise: "...Isn't this... His Royal Highness?"

    "..."

    Another priest was even more shocked: "Ah, it's true! Why is His Royal Highness here? Why are you still dressed like this?"

    Thanks for a heart sinking lower and lower, almost sinking to the heart of the earth.

    "That person just called 'help', 'robbery', 'robber'? A robber is chasing him? The robber is... His Royal Highness?!"

    "My God! His Royal Highness... how would you do such a thing?!"

    Hearing these words, Xie Lian almost fainted on the spot. I don't know how long it took before he said hoarsely, "I..."

    He wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, stuck in his throat. And the faces of those priests are also very delicate. After a long while, a priest patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay, His Royal Highness, we understand."

    Xie Lian was shot a few times by him. It was not heavy at all, but he was almost unsteady, and said: "I..."

    The priest laughed a few times and said, "It's too easy for you to do this, understand. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone else."

    Xie pity is hard to say this. After the other party said it first, he didn't know what to say. After a while, he murmured: "...Okay, thank you. Then, I...I'm going back. .gone back."

    He didn't know how he left. In short, when he woke up, he was standing on the deserted mountain road again, woken up by the cold night wind in winter.

    At this point, Xie Lian finally realized what a terrible thing happened just now.

    He, thank you, Prince Xianle - a robber?!

    Why did it become like this?!

    Xie pity at this moment is extremely regretful. Before, he must have been crazy to think of going to block the road and rob, and it has become so out of control now. Why is it so unfortunate that nothing is done, but it happens to be hit right?!

    Xie Lian had never encountered such a thing in his life in the past. He didn't know what to do at all. He had a fever from head to toe, his mind was chaotic, and he buried his face in his hands. If he could turn back time, he would even be willing to exchange his lifespan and cultivation for several years. Just as annoyed, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept to a blurred white figure in front of him, he was startled and raised his head suddenly, saying, "Who?!"

    As soon as he looked up, the figure disappeared instantly, and Xie Lian was in a cold sweat again.

    Although he didn't see the man's face, he always felt that the man's face seemed to be wearing a mask!

    However, after swiping around and seeing no trace of anyone, Xie Lian couldn't help but suspect that the figure he just saw was just an illusion created by his panic. Whether it was or not, he didn't dare to stay here any longer, and hurried down the mountain.

    After going back, Fengxin has waited for him for a long time, and when he saw him, he said: "Where have you been, Your Highness? What did you think of?"

    Xie pity where dare to tell him. He can't say it to anyone, let alone Fengxin. Xie Lian can't imagine it. He has always believed that his unparalleled virtuous wind letter knows that his method is actually what he will think after running to rob. This matter, he only hopes to bury it in his heart forever and rot in his stomach. So, thank you vaguely: "No."

    Fengxin was stunned and said: "Ah? Then what did you do after going out for so long?"

    Xie Lian was a little dazed and said, "Don't ask. I didn't do anything."

    Fengxin is very strange, but why don't you ask Xie Lian, he doesn't ask much as a servant, so he can only whisper: "Then we still go out to perform arts tomorrow?"

    Xie Lian said, "I'm not going out."

    He is completely confused now, and his mind is full of incredible worries: what if he happens to meet that middle-aged man? What if he is wanted by the whole city now? Fengxin also thinks that his expression is not right, said : "Are you tired? That's all right, Your Highness, don't go out, I'll just go out alone. Just concentrate on your cultivation."

    However, he didn't know that Xie Lian didn't even want to practice.

    Originally, Xie Lian practiced with all his heart, because only in this way would he have the opportunity to return to Heaven, but now, he is also afraid of returning to Heaven.

    Although those little priests said that they would not speak out, but would they really not speak out? Will the current Heavenly Court be spread all over today?

    Thinking of this possibility, Xie Lian couldn't breathe. He absolutely couldn't bear to be branded with such a smear, to be poked by the whole heaven and even the whole world!

    Tired and tired, Xie Lian fell into a drowsy sleep. This night, didn't sleep peacefully, tossed and turned, had some nightmares, and woke up suddenly, and when looked out the window, it was already dark.

    Fengxin was not there. Sure enough, he went out to perform arts alone. He hasn't come back yet. The low coughs and voices of the king and queen came from the next room. Xie Lian was lying on the ground, and when he woke up, he couldn't help but imagine how unbelievable it would be if it really spread and the parents knew about it. The lord might be furious, scolding him as a shame while coughing blood, and the queen would certainly not scold him, but she would definitely be heartbroken, because her most dear child had shamed them.

    Thinking of this, Xie Lian began to have difficulty breathing again. He must find a place to be alone, so he climbed up from the straw mat, rushed out, and ran aimlessly for more than ten miles against the cold wind. .

    He didn't dare to stop where there were people, because he always felt that others were staring at him, judging how unbearable he was. He finally stopped until he ran to a cemetery and there was no one left.

    This night was even colder than the night before. When he got here, Xie Lian discovered that his cheeks and hands were frozen, and his body was shaking slightly. Not just the cold, maybe the fear. Xie Lian hugged his arm involuntarily, spit out a few breaths of heat, turned his eyes, and found two jars of wine in front of a tombstone.

    It seems that the owner of this tombstone was a wine lover before his death, so others who visited the tomb after his death also brought him wine. Xie pity squatted down, he had never drank alcohol, but he heard people say that the wine warms the body and can forget things. After a while, he suddenly picked up the wine jar and opened the stopper.

    This wine is not a good wine, it is a cheap altar, and the taste is very strong. Xie Lian took a few sips and coughed, but it seemed to be warmer. So, Xie Lian wiped his cheeks, simply sat on the ground, picked up the jar, and continued to pour in big mouthfuls.

    In a trance, he seemed to see a faint little ghost fire flying out of nowhere, revolving around him, as if he was in a hurry. Xie pity only cares about drinking by himself, as if he didn't see it. The ghost fire seemed to be trying desperately to get close to him, but because it was a fire of nothingness, every time it approached him, it could only pass through and never touch him.

    As soon as the jar went down, Xie Lian was dizzy for a long time, and his eyes were drunk. Seeing it flying around, it was really pitiful, and it was really funny. He couldn't help laughing, and his elbows were on the edge of the wine jar. , said: "What are you doing?"

    The group of ghost fire suddenly condensed in the air.
