Asking hexagram 20 taels

(52)

"Why did you come here?" Yuan Xiao leaned on the cliff, looked at Tang Yuan who lowered his head to bandage his wound, looked at his thin shoulders and couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

Tang Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, lowered his head, bit the cloth strip that bound Yuan Xiao's injured leg with his teeth, and with all his strength, the pain made Yuan Xiao tremble, and cold sweat almost dripped down. "If I don't come, will you die here?"

Looking at his aggressive eyes, Yuan Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Why? Am I walking out now?"

"By the time you get there, Gubei City has already fallen."

"No," his voice suddenly became firm, his hand slipped from Tang Yuan's shoulder, stroked his hair and said, "Dawan's side won't last long."

"But they have Zhao En, and Gubei City only has the captain." Tang Yuan rolled his eyes at him, knocked off his hand, turned and squatted in front of him, "—come up."

Yuan Xiao's eyes widened, and Tang Yuan stopped him just as he was about to speak: "Can't you say it?"

What he said was threatening, as if Yuan Xiao would quit if he refused, Yuan Xiao quickly swallowed the words, helped him by the shoulder and dragged his injured leg to climb onto Tang Yuan's back .

Tang Yuan stood up with his back on his back, tilted his head slightly, glanced at Yuan Xiao's head leaning on his shoulder from the corner of his eye, and warned him seriously: "Hold on to me, I won't help you." Looking up at the line above his head Tian Guang looked at it for a while, "Let's go up here, it's not as high as other places," and stretched out his hand to press the ice layer, "The ice is not thick, and my knife can swing through it."

As a wounded man, Yuan Xiao had no room to raise his opinions, so he could only lie on Tang Yuan's back, trying to raise his energy and reduce his burden.

Climbing up the cliff is much easier than going down the cliff. Although it is more tiring to carry a person on your back, you can see the condition of the ice when you look up, so you don't have to worry about falling from a high place if you step on the wrong foot.

Tang Yuanya bit the dagger, and stuck a dagger with a cloth strip in a high place. The other stepped on the dagger. The golden rooster stood alone on it, and was about to throw the second knife when he saw a knife suddenly popping out from the top of his head. The sword comes.

It was Yuan Xiao's green steel sword.

Yuan Xiao leaned against Tang Yuan's back, leaned into Tang Yuan's ear and said, "Leave the following to me."

Tang Yuan didn't answer, but just handed him his hand over his shoulder.

Yuan Xiao clenched his hand tightly, and held the knife with the other hand, using force in the opposite direction, and the two jumped up at the same time.Tang Yuan flicked his sleeves, and the dagger attached to the cloth slipped out of the ice, drew a round trace in the air, and finally landed on the top of the two people's heads.He landed on Yuan Xiao's green steel sword like a dragonfly, almost touching Yuan Xiao's hand, using his strength to jump, using both hands at the same time.

When he jumped up, Yuan Xiao relaxed his body, followed Tang Yuan's strength to bring him up on his back, and did not forget to retrieve the green steel sword with his right hand.

The two of them rose alternately one by one, like two butterflies facing the sun in the cliff ice valley, flying above the ice layer.

But the cliff was too high, it took Tang Yuan an entire hour to go down the cliff, and he had to carry the wounded Yuan Xiao on his back to go up the cliff.Although Yuan Xiao wasn't considered a hindrance, one leg was injured and it was difficult to move, so it took longer for the two of them to use it.

Halfway through the climb, Yuan Xiao stopped, and inserted the green steel sword in his hand and the dagger in Tang Yuan's hand side by side on the ice, forming a narrow landing platform.The two jumped onto the platform at the same time, Tang Yuan supported Yuan Xiao who could only stand on one leg, and asked him, "How do you feel?"

Yuan Xiao smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, the hand on Tang Yuan's shoulder went back and touched his head, and replied: "I don't feel anything anymore."

Tang Yuan looked down at his legs, and thought to himself, would it still be like this if he was really fine.But Yuan Xiao has always been like this, reporting good news but not bad news, refusing to let others worry about him, a typical old mother's character, but with such a character, you can't force him to act like a baby and say it hurts.

Knowing what he was thinking, Yuan Xiao leaned over and comforted him: "Don't worry, I really don't feel anything anymore. I sealed the acupuncture points, and now my legs seem to be cut off from my body. It doesn't matter at all. pain."

Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "You are quite happy? If you are really so good, how can you let a black guy fall off the cliff?"

"Did you see him?" Yuan Xiao's eyes suddenly became serious.

"Up there, he died." Tang Yuan replied.

Yuan Xiao took a hissing breath: "Dead? With that man's martial arts, it shouldn't be..."

"It's dead, and it's less than a hundred meters away from the place where you fell off the cliff, which means that he died soon after you fell off the cliff, and he didn't even go out a hundred meters away." Tang Yuan recalled the man in black Looking at his face, he said doubtfully: "But looking at his face, he seems to have died a long time ago, but he was forced to stay."

Yuan Xiao also nodded: "When you said this, I remembered that when I fought with him that night, his eyes were cloudy, not like a human, but like a wild beast."

"His face is the same. His teeth are turned out and his flesh is bloody. Someone must have forcibly turned him into a wild beast. It must be Zhao En."

"Zhao En?"

"Yes, I found his mark on that black guy. That person should be the personal soldier of Zhao En, the third prince of Dawan." Tang Yuan put Yuan Xiao on his back again, and said while throwing the dagger, "Then It should be a blessing and a curse."

Hearing Tang Yuan say these words, Yuan Xiao recalled the letter he received that day with the seal of blessing and misfortune, and asked, "How did the blessing and misfortune get into his hands?"

"The Martial Arts Conference. He kidnapped the poisoned owner of Bafeng Villa, and Wang Chengqian asked me for a blessing to bring his father back."

"Then what does the man in black have to do with Fu Fuzhang?" Yuan Xiao whispered into Tang Yuan's ear, and swung out the green steel sword with his right hand.

The two of them took a step together, and as soon as they stood still, Tang Yuan replied, "Do you still remember what the legendary chapters of fortune and misfortune can do? One of them is the secret army of the first emperor, remember?"

Yuan Xiaofu said to his heart, "So the legendary 'Secret Army of the First Emperor' does not simply refer to a certain team, but a method that can turn ordinary people into a 'Secret Army'." Accompanied by a "clang" , the green steel sword smashed through the ice, "——we're almost at the top of the cliff."

"It should be. The man in black died of excessive blood loss. It should be that this method stimulated people's abilities, but this method hurts the peace of heaven. There is always a price to pay for asking for things from the sky. You cut it down with a sword." That person's arm, that person didn't even walk a hundred meters, so the price should also include bleeding if injured."

"However, we have obtained the chapter of fortune and misfortune for so long and have not obtained this method. How could Zhao En know?" Yuan Xiao's voice floated from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff when the two jumped for the last time.

"Finally out—he should have his own way."

Tang Yuan replied like this, but recalled Zhao En's performance at the martial arts conference. He was so sure of winning the blessing and misfortune, so he must have known the secret behind the blessing and misfortune.In addition, when the blessing and misfortune chapter first came out, he was chased and killed because of the blessing and misfortune chapter. Although the one in his hand was a fake, he cherished it very much.

In other words, he knew it long before the chapter of blessings and misfortunes appeared, and he also knew how to use the chapter of blessings and misfortunes.Who did he know about it?

Tang Yuan shook the snow off his hands, and temporarily dismissed this question, at worst, he would just find Zhao En and ask him.

Reaching out to support Yuan Xiao, he pointed to a fallen corpse in the distance and asked him, "Are you going to see that black guy?"

Yuan Xiao stood on one leg, but still stood still. He jumped to the body of the man in black and knelt down to examine the man's belongings.Tang Yuan was not interested in what he was going to do to the man in black, so he packed up his things, walked to the horse, pulled out the iron bar that tied the horse, and took its reins.

Tang Yuan raised his head and looked around, Gubei City was still standing in the distance, and looking at Dawan's camp, there was also silence, and the snow had completely sucked out the noise between the sky and the earth.

With the sound of flapping wings, under the reflection of the white snow in Montenegro, a white dove pierced the sky.

Tang Yuan stretched his neck and glanced at Bai Ge, his face slowly sank, he stepped back a few steps, leaned against Yuan Xiao, and whispered: "Go quickly."

Yuan Xiao immediately stood up and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." Tang Yuan said with a little embarrassment, "My master is here."

"What's wrong with Master coming?"

"My master and old man Bihai have been haunting together recently, old man Bihai, do you know?"

Yuan Xiao's voice froze suddenly: "I know."

How could you not know?The master of the eldest son of the Yuan family, the person who was most optimistic about the eldest son of the Yuan family back then.Ever since Yuan Xiao's elder brother passed away in an accident, the old man Bihai was as sad as if he had lost his own son, and even seeing Yuan Xiao with him was not very pleasing to the eye.As long as he saw Yuan Xiao, he would always compare Yuan Xiao with his brother. Yuan Xiao hated this old man the most when he was learning martial arts.

"Master has also met Zhao En at the martial arts conference before. Ever since Zhao En took away the badge of blessing and misfortune, Master has been chasing Zhao En. It must be because something happened when he suddenly appeared now."

Yuan Xiao also nodded in agreement, then turned to Tang Yuan and said, "Then let's divide our forces into two groups. I'll go back to Gubei City, and you go to find Master Tianji. Gubei City needs me to go back and preside over the overall situation even if there is no leader in Gubei City. It must be safe with Master Tianji and Old Man Bihai nearby."

"That's right," Tang Yuan agreed, "but—you just don't want to see old man Bihai?"

Yuan Xiao didn't deny it, but pointed to his injured leg and said: "I'm injured like this, old man Bihai will definitely teach me to be inferior to my elder brother. I'd better not go to him to make trouble."

In fact, Yuan Xiao knew that the old man Bihai also had half a teacher-student affection for him. Although he always scolded him when they met, he also taught him a lot, otherwise it would not be so easy for him to break Tang Yuan's move of Bihai Chaosheng.But when he sees himself, he always reminds old man Bihai to think of his elder brother. Old man Bihai doesn't show it in front of him, and he doesn't know how to be sad behind him, so he should not make the old man sad.

Tang Yuan handed him the reins of the horse, and pointed to the bay red horse he had ridden from Gubei City: "Gubei City army horses are well-raised, and I will return them to you." Then he pointed to the white pigeons hovering in the distance, "Master I will go there lightly."

After all, he stretched his arms and disappeared into the sky like a big bird.

After Yuan Xiao got on his horse, he waved his whip and said softly towards the sky, "Tangyuan, let's go back to Beijing to watch the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

A thin sheet of snow fell from the sky, and no one seemed to answer.

When the sound of horseshoes sounded, a soft hum came back from the air.
