Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Outside Kaifeng City, on the small road leading to the pier.

Zou Liang was holding a basket and walking together with the majestic big wolfhound "dumb".

One person and one dog walked a few steps, looked back, walked a few steps and then looked back, with the same expressions on their faces, speechless and helpless.

Although it is a small road, there are still some travelers who come and go, and they all stop and watch, looking at their expressions, as if they saw something incredible.

On the road, a man in red came, holding two umbrellas.

It didn't rain that day, and the sun was shining brightly. Indeed, there were some people who covered the sun with umbrellas and hats, but this person did it twice at once, and directly covered a large area of ​​shade.

Judging by his height, he should be a man, but his face can't be seen at all, because he covered it with a white cloth, and there were two holes where he could see the road. In fact, there is not even a single seam.

Passers-by were startled and backed away when they saw it.

Who is this man in red?Looking at the disgusted faces of Zou Liang and Dumb, it is not difficult to guess - Lin Yehuo who is trying to protect himself from the sun.

Originally, Zou Liang was preparing the mansion for Long Qiaoguang, but Lin Yehuo insisted on following him to make trouble, but Zou Liang was so busy that Lin Yehuo got in the way with his mute.After finally finishing his work, Zou Liang was going to the pier, and Lin Yehuo followed him to visit the navy with great interest.

The two ate lunch with the dog, took a short rest and walked to the pier.

It was fine at first, but when the sun came out suddenly, Lin Yehuo screamed and got into a private house.

Huofeng broke into the house as soon as he saw the sun, borrowing an umbrella and a cloth to wear a bamboo hat.Zou Liang followed in embarrassment, and apologized to the frightened host.

Then there was the scene just now, Zou Liang and the mute tried to keep a distance from Lin Yehuo, for fear that anyone would know that they knew each other.

Mute has become a complete adult, after all, he has half wolf blood, so he is still very different from ordinary dogs.

After walking for a while, Lin Yehuo sat down in the shade of a tree and gave the mute water.

Zou Liang was helpless, "The wharf is only a few steps away, and it will be dark if we go any further."

Lin Yehuo opened a little gap in the white cloth and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zou Liang sat down and looked at the sky, "It's getting late." He said while putting the basket in his hand aside.

Lin Yehuo glanced at it. There were food boxes in the basket, two servings of roasted pine mushrooms and a pot of good wine. I don't know who Zou Liang brought it to.Roasted pine mushrooms have a strange smell. Pine mushrooms are expensive and rare, and few people eat them. Zou Liang seems to have ordered them a long time ago, and the staff of Taibaiju specially prepared them for them.

Lin Yehuo had been looking at this food box a little awkwardly since just now, and asked, "Why do you bring wine and vegetables? I don't usually see you eating pine mushrooms."

Zou Liang said indifferently, "Pine mushrooms have a strong taste, and only those chatterers like to eat them."

Lin Yehuo narrowed his eyes, "Long Qiaoguang?"

Zou Liang pulled the mute to rub his hair, "Is there a second chatter?"

Lin Yehuo muttered, "Why did you take him all the way to the barracks?"

Zou Liang smiled, stood up holding the basket, and hooked his fingers to Lin Yehuo, "Hurry up."

Lin Yehuo was awkward, "What's the rush? Can he still starve to death?"

Zou Liang looked at Lin Yehuo for a while, then reached out to remove the cloth from his face.

"What are you doing!" Lin Yehuo held the cloth, but his face was still awkward.

Zou Liang smiled, "Are you jealous?"

Lin Yehuo squinted at him.

Zou Liang smiled more happily, shook the basket in his hand, and said, "This basket is not to make those chatter happy, but to save those tens of thousands of sailors."

Lin Yehuo blinked, "Huh?"

Zou Liang tugged at his sleeve, "Hurry up, it's probably in dire straits over there."

Lin Yehuo was confused, but he got up and followed Zou Liang to the barracks.

……

Also on the path leading to the pier.

Tianzun walked unsteadily, and behind him, Ye Zhiqiu trotted along because of his short legs.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the silver hair swaying behind Tianzun, and curiously stepped forward a little, walked side by side with him, and asked, "Old Immortal, it is said that you have entered the Nine Sacred Palace, is it true?"

Tianzun raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You even know about Nine Sacred Halls, who taught you?"

"My master clears my mountain." Ye Zhiqiu replied.

"Oh... so it's the apprentice of the old Taoist family, your master is still on Qingblind Island?" Tianzun asked.

"Yes." Ye Zhiqiu nodded.

"What about the body? How is it? Are the eyes still invisible?" Tianzun asked.

"That's it, anyway, he's sky-blind and has good ears." Ye Zhiqiu followed, bouncing around, "Is there really a Hydra in the Nine Saints Palace?"

Tianzun shook his head, "The Hydra is just a sculpture."

"Oh..." Ye Zhiqiu folded his arms and nodded, "Sure enough, the old man lied to me."

Tianzun looked at him, "What trouble did you get into? They offered a reward for arresting you?"

Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head, "When I left Qingblin Island and came to the Central Plains, I went in the wrong direction..."

Tianzun squinted at him, "Wrong direction?"

"Hmm." Ye Zhiqiu continued to scratch his head.

The corner of Tianzun's mouth twitched, "It's just a cup of tea from Qingblin Island to the shore, and you can see at a glance that you are going in the wrong direction..."

Ye Zhiqiu turned his face away, "It was windy that day!"

Tianzun crossed his arms and muttered, "It's not easy for an old Taoist... I can't see that I am still a road idiot after accepting an apprentice."

Ye Zhiqiu put his hands behind his back, "Occasionally! I don't get lost often."

Tianzun nodded, "Well, this is the same as me. Then what happened next?"

"After I lost my way, the boat drifted on the sea, and finally floated to an island. I went up and found a village on the island." Ye Zhiqiu said, "The people in the village are very enthusiastic, they gave me food and showed me the way. , told me how to get back, and took me in for a night."

Tianzun nodded and asked, "What island?"

"It's called Evil Pot Island."

Tianzun frowned slightly, "The name sounds scary."

"Yes! But people are very nice." Ye Zhiqiu shrugged, "Unfortunately, they all died."

Tianzun was taken aback, "They are all dead?"

"I went a step too early." Ye Zhiqiu seemed to be quite regretful, "I left Ehu Island early the next morning and took a boat to the Central Plains...but..."

Tianzun touched his chin, "You won't get lost again..."

Ye Zhiqiu continued to turn his face away, "It was also very windy that day!"

Heaven respects the sky.

"I went around the sea and drifted back to Ehu Island. When I got on the island, I thought I was dreaming...the whole island was covered in blood and there was a raging fire." Ye Zhiqiu frowned and said, "I saw There were two large boats docked on the shore, and a group of people were boarding the boat and arrested two children."

"Child?" Tianzun wondered.

"Well, a boy is five years old, a girl is nine years old, and two siblings." Ye Zhiqiu said, "When I was on the island, I stayed at their house. They are the grandsons of an old man. The old man should It's like a village chief."

"So you saved those two children?" Tianzun asked.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "Two boats, about [-] killers, I killed half of them and sunk one boat, but the other half ran away in the boat. I wanted to chase them, but I took two children with me. It was inconvenient, and there might be survivors on the island, so... I threw the bone knife onto the boat and stabbed a leader."

Tianzun touched his chin and nodded, "I see."

……

Bai Yutang listened to the two children on Yaoyao's back, and asked, "Ye Zhiqiu's knife was thrown onto the boat by himself?"

Luo Ying nodded, "He said that those people probably wouldn't let it go, but it's not convenient for them to run away or find them, so I might as well send them some clues. In the future, as long as anyone who has this bone knife is found, whoever has this bone knife will follow this matter." Can't get rid of the relationship!"

Bai Yutang nodded, Ye Zhiqiu is a brain, so the current clues are not broken, first of all, Tianbaotang cannot get rid of the relationship, and then there is the person looking for the knife and the person offering the reward...

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang subconsciously looked at the two children again, and asked, "They killed the whole island, but you two are the only ones left?"

The two siblings nodded.

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What is the purpose of capturing you two alive? Do you two know anything?"

The two siblings looked at each other again, and Luo Ying said, "Actually, we are not grandchildren of grandpa, nor are we born and raised on the island, we were picked."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Pick it up?"

"I only remember what happened in the past three years." Luo Ying said, "I don't remember what happened three years ago. Grandpa said that he picked us up at the seaside. At that time, I was hugging my brother. Everyone guessed Maybe it was a shipwreck at sea, and I survived and drifted to the shore. But I hit my head, and I don’t remember anything, and my brother was too young at the time, so I don’t remember anything either.”

Bai Yutang looked at the two children and asked, "Is it possible that those who slaughtered the village were aiming to catch you?"

"It should be like this." Luo Ying sighed, "People have been chasing and killing us all the way, and the little winter melon has survived until today by protecting us all the way, but it is not convenient for him without a weapon in his hand. We found out the whereabouts of the bone knife, Ye Zhiqiu Said it should be a trap, but my brother and I still want to help him get the knife back. He is also kind, and has already taken a scapegoat, so don’t accidentally risk his life, so he has been investigating these days, and we are trying to find a way Infiltrate Tianbaotang."

Bai Yutang nodded and asked Luo Ying, "How old are you?"

"Nine years old." Luo Ying replied.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "You have no memories of the past, and you have lived on Ehu Island for the past three years?"

Luo Ying nodded.

Bai Yutang didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly, "But you look like an old Jianghu."

Luo Ying nodded, "Ye Zhiqiu also said the same...Grandpa has always told us about the world, and there are many books about weapons and martial arts on the island."

Bai Yutang nodded, "So you know Knife in the Cloud?"

"Well! All the famous weapons have a manual. It is clearly written in which year and in whose hands." Luo Ying said, "I don't know who wrote the manual. There are many books on Ehu Island. Unfortunately, it was burned down later..."

Bai Yutang felt that he had to find Ye Zhiqiu to find out what happened next. He looked down and was a little puzzled. After Yaoyao made two circles above Kaifeng City, he headed towards the pier. Did Ye Zhiqiu go to the pier?This is completely opposite to the direction of breaking the temple just now. Is this young hero still a road idiot?Bai Yutang sighed, Tianzun plus Zhan Zhao plus this Ye Zhiqiu, how could there be so many idiots in the world who can't even tell the most basic things about the north, south, east, and west!

……

Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo came to the gate of the water army barracks, and saw that the outside of the city tower was very busy. A large group of people were replenishing supplies, and Ouyang Shaozheng led thousands of imperial city troops to help.

Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo walked over and saw Zhao Pu sitting there under the shade of a tree, eating watermelon with Xiao Liang and a few soldiers, it was quite comfortable.

When Ouyang saw Zou Liang coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, "He's finally here, hurry up and save him."

Zou Liang walked in with the basket, "How long has it been?"

"It's been two hours." Ziying jumped down from the tower, took off two balls of cotton from her ears, reached out to eat a watermelon, and said to Zou Liang, "Hurry up and save people, I've fainted several times."

Lin Yehuo leaned over curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Wow!" Zi Ying, who was eating watermelon, was startled by him, pointing at Lin Yehuo, "Who are you?"

Everyone also looked at the cloth man in front of them.

Xiao Liangzi shook her head, slandering - this bastard!

Lin Yehuo got under the shade of the tree and peeled off the cloth covering his face, and saw Zou Liang walking into the city gate.

Lin Yehuo gave the mute a piece of watermelon, and followed Zou Liang into the city under an umbrella.

The gate of the training ground of the barracks was locked tightly, and several guards were yawning at the gate, seeing Zou Liang coming, they hurriedly opened the gate to let him in.

Wait for the moment the door is opened.

Lin Yehuo felt a pang of sadness rushing towards his face, startled, hid behind Zou Liang and looked around - he saw the guards on the training ground stumbling around, some were holding their heads, some were covering their faces, There are those who lie on the ground and cannot get up.On a table not far away, Long Qiao Guang was chattering with an even speed and intonation.

Lin Yehuo listened carefully, and Long Qiaoguang was telling everyone the basics of swimming.

Silently, Zou Liang took out two cotton balls from his sleeve, plugged his ears, and then carried the basket to the table where Long Qiaoguang was.

Huofeng folded her arms and listened for a while, then yawned profusely.

Zhao Pu also walked in, gloating at those lieutenants who were lying on the ground—you know how powerful it is now, the generals in the barracks, only Zou Liang's training method is the most normal, they didn't know how to cherish it, so they had to let on freak.

Lin Yehuo channeled his dantian qi, held against certain acupoints, and felt much better, so he asked Zhao Pu, "Is he internal force?"

Zhao Pu nodded, "That chatter has a kind of internal force similar to illusion, which can be emitted through voice to create a drowsy effect. He also likes to talk, so he uses it to practice internal force, but the people who listen to him will suffer. .”

Lin Yehuo asked curiously, "Is this training useful?"

"Why not?!" Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "Soldiers trained in that chatter can do anything as long as they don't listen to him...the fighting power is amazing."

"Oh..." Lin Yehuo admired.

"And it's especially suitable for ambush operations." Ouyang Shaozheng strolled in with a teapot, "Because it's rare to have a chance to be clean for a while, and everyone'enjoyed it."

In the stands, Long Qiaoguang was holding a small wine pot and eating grilled pine mushrooms, and waved to the soldiers, "Go and have a rest."

The soldiers cheered, but Long Qiaoguang answered, "Let's talk about how to practice bows and crossbows in an hour."

Most of the soldiers fell down with a "crash", and they looked at Zou Liang, who was walking back with a blank expression, with a mournful face, which meant—General Zou, we are starting to miss you!

Lin Yehuo watched the soldiers look at Zou Liang while drinking tea, and couldn't help squinting—oh, that dumb guy seems to be very popular!

……

At the fork in the small road not far from the pier, Tianzun stood in the middle of the road and looked left and right.

Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the left, "The ruined temple should be over there!"

"Didn't you say it's in the west?" Tianzun pointed to the east and said, "That's the west!"

"Obviously this is the west side!" Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the south side.

"Again..." Tianzun suddenly grabbed Ye Zhiqiu by the neck and asked, "Why are you looking for my Yutang?"

Ye Zhiqiu asked, "Does Bai Yutang know many women?"

The corner of Tianzun's mouth twitched, "Just say what you said in front of me, don't say it in front of others!"

Ye Zhiqiu folded his arms, "Don't everyone say that Bai Yutang is very romantic?"

"My family, Yutang, has no other hobbies other than loving cats, so don't talk nonsense!" Tianzun said, carrying Ye Zhiqiu to the north.

Ye Zhiqiu struggled, "Over there is Nan!"

The two were arguing in the middle of the road when they heard the wind above their heads, and a shadow appeared above them, blocking the sun.

Just heard a girl's voice, "Dwarf wax gourd!"

The corner of Ye Zhiqiu's mouth twitched, and when he looked up, he saw a white "dragon" flying over his head.

"Wow!" Ye Zhiqiu was startled, and saw a man in white jumping off the dragon's back in a very chic manner, with two children in his hands.After the man in white landed on the ground, he gently put the two children down...Looking down, he looked at Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time—he was taller and more handsome than a few years ago. In short... Ye Zhiqiu covered his chest—his heart ached!

Luo Yuan, the shy boy who didn't like talking, ran to Ye Zhiqiu's side, stuffed the bone knife wrapped in cloth into his hand, and then stood beside him, looking very attached to him.

Luo Ying sighed lightly, and didn't say much, after all, Luo Yuan was still young, and she was terrified when she saw such a bloody and terrifying scene in Tucun.After Ye Zhiqiu rescued him, it probably gave him an illusion that he was safe only by his side, so the child was very clingy to Ye Zhiqiu.

Bai Yutang looked around and said, "We'll be at Zhao Pu's barracks in a few more steps, let's sit down there and talk." Saying this, Bai Yutang patted Yaoyao's head, and Yaoyao spread his wings and flew towards Zhao Pu's barracks. direction, the rest walk.

Tianzun was not arrogant this time, and was dragged away by Bai Yutang to prevent him from losing himself and others.

When Bai Yutang heard that Ye Zhiqiu was looking for him, and the reason was that he "knew a lot of women", he was inexplicably glad that the cat didn't follow.

"I want you to help me find a woman." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Who?" Bai Yutang asked.

"I only have one portrait." Ye Zhiqiu took out a portrait from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Bai Yutang.

Tianzun leaned over, "Isn't it you who drew it again?"

However, when Bai Yutang opened it, he found that it was a well-drawn picture of a beauty. After looking at the signature, he was puzzled, "Is this... the picture of the oiran?"

Ye Zhiqiu folded his arms and nodded, "The people who attacked Ehu Island that day were all masked, but I saw a very beautiful woman on the boat, and those killers seemed to follow her orders. I saw it from a distance, and then I went to Kaifeng , I passed by the art booth and saw many people buying paintings, this portrait was hung in a very conspicuous place, so I recognized her at a glance!"

Bai Yutang looked at the portrait again, and said, "The portraits that can be sold are probably the oirans who are placed in a more conspicuous position... But if they are from Kaifeng, let me just say. I'll find someone to find out."

Tianzun asked Ye Zhiqiu, "If you want to find an oiran, you need to ask Yutang for help? Why don't you just ask a kiln?"

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Tianzun, "Wouldn't it be suspicious to ask around? Besides, I have no acquaintances in Kaifeng. What if the bad guys throw themselves into the trap? Of course they look for it secretly."

Tianzun stretched out his hand and slapped him on the forehead, "The apprentices that the stinky Taoist priests accept are very careful..."

Bai Yutang also looked at Ye Zhiqiu, saying that being small is too tricky, but Ye Zhiqiu is really not that simple.

……

Kaifeng city.

The Dragon King Sacrifice was finally over, and it was evening. Pang Yu dragged Bao Yan and the fourth son on his back and struggled to get out of the crowd. The three of them shouted "hungry".

Zhan Zhao took the fourth son and carried them back to Kaifeng with the other two.Just now, Jiaojiao came to tell him the development of the matter, so Zhan Zhao didn't worry anymore, and planned to send the three of them back to Kaifeng Mansion first, and then went to the pier to meet Bai Yutang and the others.Zhan Zhao is now more concerned about the case of Hudao. So many people died, and innocent people were framed, and two children were hunted down. forgive.

Just as he was walking back, Zhan Zhao saw the little Sizi who was sitting on his arm suddenly tilted his head, showing a confused expression.

"What's wrong, little four?" Zhan Zhao poked his stomach.

The fourth son looked up at Zhan Zhao, "Maomao, I saw a big valley."

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, "Valley?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Si nodded, "A long chain at the bottom of the valley is moving, as if something is locked."

"What's locked?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The fourth son shook his head, "I didn't see it."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and the fourth son probably saw something suddenly again, because every time the scene the fourth son saw would become reality, Zhan Zhao was puzzled—a huge valley, a long chain moving... What's the situation?Is there a beast tied to it?
