Broken Moon of Tibetan Love
Chapter 1
The desert is long and windy and sandy, and the scorching sun above the head makes the sand hot. A group of people are slowly moving forward in the boundless Gobi.
There are old and weak women and children in the team, as well as young men. They all wear shackles, and the shackles on their feet are connected together, dragging in the sand, with a haggard appearance and no expression on their faces.There are a few officers and soldiers on the side, who should be escorting criminals to frontier labor.
Snapped!The crackling sound of the whip tearing apart Sand Roar and Wind Roar.
The old man at the end of the line fell to the ground, and the whips in the hands of the officers and soldiers mercilessly fell on the old man.
"Don't get up yet?! Play dead without showing some color! If it weren't for you, your grandpa wouldn't have come to such a ghostly place. Damn it, it's so hot!"
Snapped!Snapped!
The sound of the whip rang relentlessly, and the other prisoners just turned their heads and watched silently, their eyes covered with gray.
"stop!"
Someone rushed out from among the group of prisoners to stand in front of the old man, and a whip fell right on top of her.
The woman raised her head and gave the officer a sharp look, her eyes were stern, and the officer holding the whip couldn't help being stunned.Immediately, he might feel ashamed of being overwhelmed by the opponent's aura, so he raised the whip and wanted to whip it up again, "How dare you meddle in your grandpa's affairs, are you impatient?!"
Snapped!There was another crisp sound of a whip falling.
"I'm afraid your man has already been separated from his family by now, so you can't wait to reunite with him underground?"
The hand clinging to the whip was raised high, and the woman stood in front of the old man. Although her black hair was disheveled and her face was covered with dirt, her eyes were still clear and calm, and the light she projected was as firm as a rock, without any fear. .
"If you beat me to death, remember to send a message to old thief Huo, praying for the lives of 120 or [-] people in the family. This account will be recorded in Hades' book, and my husband and I will ask him for it if we become ghosts!"
He said every word, every word was full of deep hatred, as if he wanted to fry the other party's skin and bones, drink his blood and eat his flesh raw.
"Then grandpa, I will help you!" The officer's hand trembling with the whip, squinting at the others, gritted his teeth and was about to whip it off...
Suddenly, a white light flashed across the sky.
"Ahhhh──"
With a heart-piercing scream, the whip in the officer's hand and the arm holding the whip fell to the sandy ground. Rolling on the ground, howling and screaming.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked up──
Behind the officers and soldiers whose arms had been cut off, a tall Yuncong appeared on the sand dune at some point, and a man in white was sitting on the horse's back. The cloak was hunting and flying in the wind and sand together, and a cold breath lingered around him.
The man in white held a rapier with his right hand, and with a slight twist of his wrist, the blade of the sword reflected a silver glow in the sunlight that made people feel chills down the spine.
The remaining officers and soldiers stepped forward and shouted sharply, "Who?"
The man in white didn't raise his head, didn't answer, just shook his arm holding the sword, and suddenly jumped up from the horse, with his feet on the saddle, his body went straight towards the officers and soldiers like an arrow from a bowstring.
The officers and soldiers were thrown into chaos immediately, and as soon as they put their hands on the sabers at their waists, a few flashes of sword light dazzled the eyes, but in the blink of an eye, those people turned into a pile of unconscious corpses, all of which were split in two from the middle, stained with blood. Large expanses of sand.
The blank eyes of the prisoners also showed fear.
The man in white killed so many people at once, but there was not a drop of blood on his clothes and sword. He lowered his body and took out the key and money bag used to open the shackles from the corpses of the officers and soldiers, and threw them to one of the prisoners, "Yourselves Let's go." The voice was lulling, but it didn't sound frightening, and after he finished speaking, he stopped caring about those criminals and went straight to the woman.
The woman was not afraid, she sat on the ground and raised her head slightly to look at him, with a little wariness in her eyes.
The man in white walked up to the woman with his sword in his hand, raised his hand, and the sword light flashed coldly. The woman closed her eyes instinctively, thinking that it was someone who came to take her life personally, but she didn't want to hear a "click" in her ear. The shackles around the neck fell off.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, she couldn't believe it, she saw that the other party put the sword back into its sheath, and squatted down in front of her, pulled down the cloak on her head, revealing a handsome and elegant face, as pale as black chrysanthemums, eyes The light is clear.
"You are……?"
The corner of the mouth of the young man in white twitched slightly, "I'm holding the moon sword Ling Qing."
The woman was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "What's your relationship with Ling Guanghai?"
Ling Qing helped the woman up from the ground, and then said: "Ling Guanghai is my father. My father fought against the Liao soldiers in Yongzhou with all the martial arts knights and General Qi. My father accidentally entered the siege. It was General Qi who rushed into the killing array regardless of life and death. I saved my father. This time Ling Qing was ordered by my father to protect my wife." After speaking, his eyes fell on the woman's slightly protruding abdomen.
Sensing the gaze of the other party, the woman caressed her upper abdomen with a touch of love and affection in her eyes.
"It's been five months. Jing Yue didn't know he was going to be a father when he was falsely imprisoned..." Then he raised his head and said slowly: "That bastard Huo Xian killed my husband and punished the nine clans of the Qi family. I want to keep the only seedling of the Qi family to comfort the spirit of the deceased husband in heaven. One day, I will let my child kill the dog thief with his hands and sacrifice the soul of the dead!"
Ling Qing didn't make a sound, but with his index finger in his mouth, he blew a long howl. The cloud horse came down from the hill and ran in front of him. Ling Qing helped the woman get on the horse, and after she sat firmly, he also got on the horse. .
"Let's get out of here first." Flicking the horsewhip, "Drive!"
Under the scorching sun and wind and sand, Yun Cong ran towards the place where heaven and earth meet.
The assassination of Huo Xian failed, and the righteous way of martial arts was severely damaged, while Ling Qing fell into depression because of Yan Yunlie's defection to the courtier.At this moment, he received a letter from his father who sent people to rush to him day and night.
A month ago, Yongzhou fell, [-] cities were trapped, and [-] soldiers were lost. Qi Jingyue, the defender of Yongzhou, had to retreat to Yunzhou with the rest of his troops.
When the news was sent back to the imperial court, Longyan was furious, and he also listened to Huo Xian's slander that General Anbei had been bought by the Jinren.So with a piece of imperial order, Qi Jingyue was recalled to the capital.As soon as Qi Jingyue and his confidants entered the city gate, they were kidnapped by the forbidden army and taken into prison to await trial.
Who would have thought that Huo Xian would act as a hindrance, bribe the governor of Yongzhou to give false testimony, and torture Qi Jingyue to extract a confession. In the end, he was framed and convicted.
When the first emperor first came to the throne, there was a riot among the vassal kings in all directions. It was the ancestors of the Qi family who led the troops to put it down, and then guarded Yongzhou to resist the invasion of the Liao people.The first emperor proclaimed him General Anbei, and his descendants inherited it from generation to generation.Now that he was convicted of treason, the nine clans were punished, and all the officials knelt and remonstrated for three days and three nights, but the emperor indulged in the harem, and had sex with the new beauties from the Western Regions all day long.
The papers pleading for the General's mercy piled up into mountains, but they were all privately detained by Huo Xian, and someone had to ask Jianghu for help.
Ling Qing and Dongli Muyun split into two ways after learning about it. Dongli Muyun led people to rob the execution ground, while Ling Qing went after the female relatives who had been exiled in the border.Whoever wanted to walk halfway heard that Qi's family had been betrayed and had already been secretly executed. Dongli Muyun led his men to escape, but was intercepted by Huo Xian's men, and the battle resulted in countless casualties.
While he was chasing, he encountered several batches of Huo Xian's blood droplets, all heading towards the border. Although he didn't know what happened, he felt vaguely that those people were going towards the exiled Mrs. Qi.Therefore, the whole journey was non-stop, and he finally caught up with the escort team before reaching the western border.
Knowing that Mrs. Qi was pregnant, Ling Qing guessed that the blood droplets coming towards the border should be sent by Huo Xian after he also heard that Mrs. Qi was pregnant, and issued a killing order to kill the weeds.
When General Qi was arrested, even Mrs. Qi probably didn’t know that she was pregnant with Qi’s family’s flesh and blood. Later, General Qi was convicted, Qi’s family was punished by the nine clans, and the female relatives were sent out. of.Only Huo Xian would not want to leave behind any root seeds that might threaten his life in the future.
Ling Qing originally planned to send Mrs. Qi outside the pass to avoid being chased by Huo Xian's subordinates, but Mrs. Qi insisted on returning to Lin'an, wanting to give birth to and raise the child in her hometown.
Ling Qing didn't object, but secretly thought about the danger along the way.
Dongli Muyun's forces are in the east, and the last news he got when he was about to leave Yuzhou and enter Jizhou was that Dongli Muyun fell into Huo Xian's trap and failed to save General Qi.
Now that they are in the north, they don't know what's going on in the territory. Ling Qing doesn't dare to contact Dongli Muyun rashly, for fear of being discovered by Huo Xian's people, so she thinks, now they can only take one step at a time. To the south of Yuzhou is the Wulin It might be safe there.
Mrs. Qi was pregnant and could not ride a horse, so Ling Qing took a carriage. She wanted Mrs. Qi to pretend to be his wife and dress up as a servant, but that clean and handsome scholarly face had nothing to do with it except for the sword callus. The traces of rough work, no matter how you look at it, you are a person who is served by a good student, even if you put on a short coat, you don't look like a servant in the slightest.
In the end, Mrs. Qi proposed to address each other as siblings, and if anyone asked, they would say that the elder brother had to take care of the family business, so the younger brother could only escort the sister-in-law back to her natal home, and now she was on her way home from visiting relatives.
Mrs. Qi's surname is Ruan, and her maiden name is Suxue. She was born in the Qihuang family. Ling Qing once heard from her father that Mrs. Qi is not an ordinary woman.Now that she has undergone a sudden change, she still shows a calmness and strength that is different from ordinary women. The so-called women do not give up to men, and there are heroes among women, so it must be so.
Entering Jizhou, he ran into a group of officers and soldiers head-on.
Ling Qing took the reins back, slowed down the horse, and leaned the carriage to the side of the road to get out of the main road.
The officers and soldiers had just passed by with their horses, and the smoke and dust raised by the horseshoes had not yet dissipated, followed by the sound of a series of horseshoes galloping.This time there were only two of them, and they were well dressed, and the brocade clothes and costumes seemed to be of high status.Ling Qing saw with sharp eyes that the marks on the buttocks of these two men and the horses ridden by the officers and soldiers in front were the same. It was obvious that those people in front had opened the way first.
Who is it that there are officers and soldiers leading the way?
When Ling Qing was wondering, Ruan Suxue lightly raised the curtain of the car, "The person who passed by just now was the second prince Chengrui Wang Zhao Shuo, and his personal bodyguards followed him, and the group of people who passed by in front were the subordinates of the King of Chu."
Ling Qing nodded lightly, people in the Jianghu never cared about the affairs of the imperial court, only thieves like Huo Xian would make the Jianghu gang up and suppress them.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of that person...
The situation of that day emerged in my mind, the feeling of the sword piercing into flesh and blood, the bright red gushing between the fingers, and the cold and bone-piercing sight projected from those eyes as deep as a pool...
"Ling Qing?"
Ling Qing came back to his senses, and tried to cover up his lack of focus, "I was thinking... What is a prince doing in this wild place?"
Although they have already entered Jizhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty is beyond the next mountain, and there are no people along the way, only a few post stations are a little bit lively, and the two people don't look like they are on a business tour, which is really unusual.
Hearing this, Ruan Suxue said: "Since ancient times, when the emperor was not in power and the treacherous officials were in power, it was a sign that the country would change its master."
Ling Qing was taken aback, "Madam Qi means...?"
"Jizhou is the fiefdom of the king of Chu, and he has become incompetent when the sage is still the prince. The king of Chu once said that his warlocks watched the stars at night. The evil face should be abolished and set up separately. The first emperor reprimanded him to confuse the people with his demonic words. These words spread to the ears of the prince, and since then there has been a rift. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the king of Chu did not even have an audience. He was incompatible with love and etiquette. Now King Chengrui appeared Here, I think there should be some action..."
Ling Qing was a little confused, this king and that king were both former emperors and current emperors, but he heard Ruan Suxue's words.
"Since ancient times, when the emperor was not in power and the treacherous ministers were in power, it was a sign that the country would change its master."
The old king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also a vassal king, and the turmoil in the court, or self-declaration as emperor or king with troops, would be involved to some extent.
Ling Qing couldn't help feeling a little worried, and secretly hoped that there would be nothing wrong with Dongli's family before he went back... He had always respected and loved Dongli Muyun as his elder brother, so if something happened to Dongli's family, Ling Qing would naturally not stand by and watch.
There are many mountains in Jizhou, the mountains are continuous, the mountains are beautiful, majestic and magnificent, but the mountain roads are extremely difficult to walk.
Ruan Suxue was on the way to be escorted to the border when she was pregnant. Her family was broken and her body and mind were damaged, which led to unstable fetal breath. Although she knew the art of Qihuang, she would go to the pharmacy to get medicine for miscarriage when she passed by the post station, but she should not be too bumpy and tired.So I walked very slowly all the way, stopping and stopping, and had to stop and rest for a few days when I arrived in a slightly larger town.
In fact, Ling Qing didn't dare to rush too hastily. After being injured by Yan Yunlie's internal energy in Huo's mansion that day, his internal energy has been in chaos. The Qinghong sect is a branch of Wudang sect, which follows the Taoist tradition, pays attention to the mind, and the chaos of the mind is the devil; the other is that things come one after another, and he has no time to take care of it.
Wanyue Sword has already achieved a small success, there is no possibility of practicing it, and no matter how chaotic the mood is, it will not affect it. Ling Qing really can't figure out the reason, so he can only adjust his breath while resting. It's fine if the enemy can resist for a while.
The capital, the back chamber of Chenxiang Pavilion.
Yan Yunlie, Yuan Bugui, and a gorgeously dressed and picturesque woman walked together to a wing room in the deepest part of the courtyard.
The room didn't look like anything special, but after a closer look, it was discovered that the windows of the room were covered with a layer of black cloth.
"I just received a letter from Fei Ge from the Wei Zuo envoy, saying that he has returned to Tianjue Mountain, and the affairs of the church will be handled carefully. Please rest assured, the teacher." The woman said softly.
Yan Yunlie nodded, and put his hands behind his back, "Wei Yu is always at ease when doing things." Then he stared at the closed door, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, "It's been so many days, and there is still no movement inside?"
"This……"
The woman seemed to be hesitant, but before she could continue, she heard a heart-piercing scream from inside the room, together with the sound of tables and chairs overturned and crockpots breaking, the three of them were startled.
Yan Yunlie turned his head to look at the woman beside him, seeing her embarrassed, hesitant and worried expression, he raised his foot and kicked the door open.
There was a smell of blood in the room, mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs. Through the ray of light coming in from the door, one could see the earthen pot that fell on the ground, and a person lying in the corner.
"If you don't return to light the lamp, Huai Die will go to see the situation of the Gu Master."
"Yes."
Yuan Bugui put down the medicine box on the table, took out the fire folder, and the weak fire drew several arcs of light in the dark room, and then suddenly lit up.
Huai Die helped the Gu Master to sit up, only to see that the Gu Master's complexion was blue and turned black, his seven orifices were bleeding, the fingernails of his hands were also black, he was unconscious and trembling all the time.Yuan Bugui hurried over to help the Gu master onto the bed, and put his hands on the pulse gate to diagnose his pulse.
"How about Gu Master?" Yan Yunlie walked to the bed, looked at the person on the bed, and asked.
Yuan Bugui shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill and stuffed it into the Gu Master's mouth, sighed, "Being bitten by the Gu, I'm afraid..."
Yan Yunlie frowned even tighter. Turning around, he saw Huai Die was picking up the crockpots scattered all over the floor to check. As if noticing Yan Yunlie's gaze, Huai Die raised his head, his red lips pursed tightly and his eyebrows frowned. He also shook his head.
Yan Yunlie didn't say a word, his already dignified face turned livid, and he looked a little angry.
"No, you stay here to take care of the Gu Master." Yan Yunlie ordered in a cold voice, then flung his sleeves and strode away.
Walking into the courtyard, there was nowhere to vent his breath, Yan Yunlie let out a low growl, and slapped a palm on the rockery in the courtyard. There was a loud bang, and the ten-meter-high rock was smashed into pieces, bursting into pieces. The stones flew in all directions, and a few sharp gravels cut a long and narrow hole in his clothes.
"Master Yan, this level is not an ordinary Gu... and some Gu, even if you know what it is and how to install it, you may not be able to find a way to solve it. In this regard, the Tianjue Sect is better than me. Outsiders know better."
Huo Xian's words at that time were still in his ears, Yan Yunlie clenched his fists tightly, it seemed that he thought too simple of that old thief Huo Xian.
"Master." Huai Die chased him out, walked to Yan Yunlie's side and bowed his head respectfully, "This time, please let the subordinates come down and try."
Yan Yunlie turned around, his expression improved slightly, but he was still cold and displeased, "No, I don't want to lose my capable subordinates for this."
Unraveling Gu is a very dangerous thing. You cannot see the light or be seen by others. The most important thing is that most of the Gu can only be undone by the person who cast the Gu. go in.
"I also agree not to try again." Yuan Bugui closed the door lightly, and walked over, "Master, why don't we put a Gu on old thief Huo and force him to hand over the method of solving "Ji Di" , He is just a common man, relying on his power and the group of guards around him, there is no need for us to humble ourselves in front of him."
Yan Yunlie looked at Yuan Bugui with deep eyes, then patted him on the shoulder, and walked away, "Do you think this seat has never thought about it? But that old thief is very cunning, and this seat has not gained his trust. When I saw this seat, I was separated by a cloth curtain, so Huai Die couldn't even use the method of blowing Gu, what's more..."
Yan Yunlie stopped, turned around, and waited for Yuan Bugui to follow before he opened his mouth, "Even if you put a spell on that old thief, if you are not careful, the old thief will be killed before he can tell the method... No It's worth it..." I sighed again and again that it wasn't worth it, "I'm not sure about exchanging his life for his life."
When he said this, Yan Yunlie could not hide the depression on his face.
Yuan Bugui opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that it had been three months and there was still no news. He didn't know if the medicine he gave him had any effect. With the frustration in the Great Hierarch, he didn't dare to stab him in the heart again.
People who are usually unrestrained and merciless, once trapped in a person, they get deeper and deeper and cannot be pulled out no matter how hard they are.
"Master, this is the first time this subordinate has seen the leader take a person so seriously." Yuan Bugui said.
Yan Yunlie frowned, then looked up at Tian's thoughtful expression, "Isn't this bad?"
"Okay, the leader finally understands the feelings of those sons and daughters when they were sent away. It's really gratifying, so gratifying." Yuan Bugui sang, shaking his head, but Yan Yunlie stared at him with a black face, and he obediently stopped his voice. It seems that the tense atmosphere has finally eased up.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Yan Yunlie thought for a while, "It seems that we have to negotiate terms with that old thief..."
It is estimated that Huo Xian also knows that once Yan Yunlie gets what he wants, maybe he will get back all the time spent on him, so Huo Xian is not very willing to make such a deal that is not good for himself in the future , but what Yan Yunlie wants, he can't allow him to hide it!
Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue stopped and stopped all the way, and it took a month to reach Licheng in Jizhou.
There were many officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, holding portraits in their hands. People entering and leaving the city were stopped and checked one by one. Those who looked a little suspicious and flustered were taken aside for interrogation to check whether there was any cross-dressing and disguise. She was pregnant, and was taken away by officers and soldiers without saying a word, shouting, threatening, and crying, and the city gate was in chaos.
Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue sat on the teahouse not far away, and they could clearly see what happened at the city gate.
From the Central Plains to the North, or from the North to the Central Plains, there is only this pass.
If it was in the past, how could this earthen wall stop Ling Qing's wind and clouds? Those officers and soldiers were not even qualified to compete with him, but the premise was that Ling Qing was alone...
"All right, all right... all right..."
Ling Qing turned around when she heard the voice, and saw an old woman begging at the table.The old woman was dressed in rags full of patches, her silver hair was disheveled and drooping on her face, her back was hunched, and she was holding a dirty broken bowl in her hand. She was chased back and forth in disgust by the guests at the tables in front of her.
When the old woman walked up to Ruan Suxue, Ruan Suxue took two white flour steamed buns from the table and put them in her bowl, "Old mother, take away whatever you like on the table."
Hearing this, Ling Qing took out a few copper coins and handed them over, but the old woman didn't take them, she just grabbed Ruan Suxue's hand and said twice, "Good people will be rewarded", then stumbled away.
Ling Qing's hand holding the copper coin was still in the air, raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction where the old woman left in puzzlement, Ruan Suxue snorted, "Silly boy, didn't you see that 'her' hands are men's hands at all?" ?” As he spoke, he spread out his palms, and at some point there was a paper bag in his hand.
"This is……?"
Ruan Suxue didn't say much, and unfolded the paper bag, on which were carefully written the words "I want to leave the city, at midnight tonight, the woods in the western suburbs" written on it in small letters.
The note was spread out on the table, Ling Qing turned his head to look at the line of writing, but was silent, it seemed that the identities of the two had been found out, but he didn't know whether this person was an enemy or a friend.
"My dear brother, do you think... shall we go to this appointment?" Ruan Suxue said while pouring the water in the teacup on the paper, and the paper would melt when it touched the water.
Ling Qing looked up at the gate of the city again, and said softly: "There is no other way..."
knock knock!knock knock! "The sky is dry and the things are dry──be careful of the fire and candle──!" Knock knock!
The sound of drums echoed crisply on the deserted streets.
Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue came to the woods west of the city according to what was written on the note.
It was early autumn, and the north was dry and rainless. There was a layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and there was a crackling sound when one stepped on it.
The forest was very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy, and the branches swaying lightly under the night wind cast strange and frightening shadows like ghosts.
Clap!
The sound of stepping on dead branches was extraordinarily loud, causing Ling Qing's already tense nerves to jump twice in his heart.
Almost at the same time, several figures suddenly jumped out from among the branches, and the torches held in their hands immediately lit up the surroundings, the branches swayed, and the light and shadow rustled.
Ling Qingkeng shakes the sword out of its sheath, and protects Ruan Suxue behind her back, her clear eyes narrow her cold eyes, and she doesn't intend to ask the other party's whereabouts. , but heard a deep voice filled with internal force that shook the eardrums.
"Young Xia Ling, don't misunderstand, we have no malicious intentions!"
Hearing this, Ling Qing turned his gestures, and the point of the sword changed its direction. The sword energy that came out was like an invisible knife across the ground, splashing broken leaves like flying, and the sharp wind of the sword brushed a person's arm and cut off the arm behind him. A thick and big tree hugged by one person is almost like a chopped green onion.
Someone rose into the air in the forest, stepped over the slowly falling tree, and then landed firmly in front of the two of them.
"Shaoxia Ling is good at swordsmanship!" The visitor praised without hesitation.
Ling Qing still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and looked at the opponent up and down.
The visitor is middle-aged, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic expression.Ling Qing thought for a while, he probably didn't recognize this person, but seeing the other person's awe-inspiring uprightness, he also relaxed a little, and bowed Gui Menggui, "May I ask what your name is?"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled faintly, "I don't dare to be your honor, I'm the head of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, Yang Zhenhai." He said loudly, his words full of air.
Ling Qing was stunned for a moment, he had heard of the reputation of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau before, not only because their bodyguards were all strong, tough, and highly skilled in martial arts, but also because they had friendship in both good and evil, and their reputation in the martial arts was unmatched. They have a few big family villas, and even the government sometimes transports important supplies by them as escorts.
"I don't know what advice Chief Yang has for asking us to come late at night?" Knowing that the other party is a bold person, Ling Qing didn't beat around the bush.
"In front of Ling Qing, Moon Moon Sword, I don't dare to give advice." Yang Zhenhai's eyes fell on Ruan Suxue who was behind Ling Qing, "Excuse me... is this Mrs. Qi?"
Hearing his words, both Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue became nervous, Ling Qing couldn't help but throw Gui Meng in front of him, and put his other hand in front of Ruan Suxue.
Seeing this, Yang Zhenhai raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing, he said: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Mr. Yang invited you here to escort Mrs. Qi out of the city."
Hearing what he said, Ling Qing still didn't quite believe it.
"The gates of the city are guarded by heavy soldiers, maybe there are killers supported by Huo Xian in the dark... Rather than taking risks, the head of the bodyguard Yang will be under control and hand Mrs. Qi into Huo Xian's hands. Maybe he will get both money and fortune, and the business will be smoother in the future. Proud, with such a good deal, why take the risk?"
After Ling Qing finished speaking, he put his finger on Guimeng's sheath. He thought he was right. Huo Xianquan was in favor of the government and the public, and now Tianjuejiao is using him. The court is full of people. Instead of taking risks to fight against, it is better to surrender and take refuge in the opportunity to please , which is more beneficial to oneself.
Yang Zhenhai's face darkened a bit, "Does Shaoxia Ling believe Yang?"
Ling Qing responded coldly, "I'm sorry, Chief Yang, I have to say something. Chief Yang and Mrs. Qi have never met each other. It's really hard for me to believe that someone is willing to take such a risk."
Yang Zhenhai was silent and his face was dark. The serious and deterrent aura exuding from his body was extremely oppressive, pressing down like Mount Tai. The two sides fell into a silent confrontation, and the atmosphere was tense, as if something was about to explode.
After a while, Yang Zhenhai suddenly said, but to the subordinates behind him, "Ling Shaoxia said, if sending them out of customs is a matter of narrow escape, if they are handed over to Huo Xian, maybe the Weiyuan Escort Bureau will make a lot of money from now on. Tell me, do you want to be rescued?"
The surroundings were quiet for a while, and suddenly someone spoke up, and said with vigor: "In the second year of Fengtai, General Qi led Qi's family army to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty. He made great contributions in protecting the country. He is so loyal and good. He was killed by traitors. He who sees him should save him!"
As soon as the words fell, someone continued: "In the first year of Shunyan, the Liao people invaded. General Qi led the troops to garrison Yongzhou. In three years, they repelled the Liao people's invasion [-] times and wiped out more than [-] enemies. It is a blessing to have such a brave general. , now the traitor is plotting to murder, the ruler of the country is stupid, if the king does not save his ministers, we will come to save him!"
"Four years later, Yongzhou fell. General Pray led two hundred elite soldiers into the enemy's camp to take the head of the marshal, and stop the troops at Tianmen Pass. If there is a son like his father, he will be a hero of the generation. He will desperately rescue him in the future!"
Three rescues in a row, the words were clanging, and there was a sound on the ground, Ruan Suxue was already sobbing.
How mighty and upright Qi Jingyue was, galloping on the battlefield, killing enemies for thousands of miles, devoted all his life to defending the country, but in the end he was decapitated, and now his bones are nowhere to be found.
"Is Ling Shaoxia satisfied with this answer?" Yang Zhenhai asked him with a slight smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
Ling Qing took back the hand that was lying in front of him, and cupped it again, "I made a slip of the tongue, I offended you so much, please forgive me, Chief Yang."
Yang Zhenhai waved his hand, "We don't have much time, please listen to Yang's plan."
The story of Qi Jingyue's being framed spread throughout the martial arts world very early, including the fact that Dongli Muyun led people to rob the dharma field but failed.
Ling Qing went on the road together with the Minghua faction, and later divided into several groups. Even Dongli Muyun didn't tell him his whereabouts, so the Weiyuan Escort Bureau should not be sent by Dongli to support him.
However, since the world has spread, it is not impossible for someone to have the same idea as them. After all, many people in the world regard chivalry as more important than fame and fortune.
Thinking of this, Ling Qing thought of Yan Yunlie who was going the other way with him...
There are old and weak women and children in the team, as well as young men. They all wear shackles, and the shackles on their feet are connected together, dragging in the sand, with a haggard appearance and no expression on their faces.There are a few officers and soldiers on the side, who should be escorting criminals to frontier labor.
Snapped!The crackling sound of the whip tearing apart Sand Roar and Wind Roar.
The old man at the end of the line fell to the ground, and the whips in the hands of the officers and soldiers mercilessly fell on the old man.
"Don't get up yet?! Play dead without showing some color! If it weren't for you, your grandpa wouldn't have come to such a ghostly place. Damn it, it's so hot!"
Snapped!Snapped!
The sound of the whip rang relentlessly, and the other prisoners just turned their heads and watched silently, their eyes covered with gray.
"stop!"
Someone rushed out from among the group of prisoners to stand in front of the old man, and a whip fell right on top of her.
The woman raised her head and gave the officer a sharp look, her eyes were stern, and the officer holding the whip couldn't help being stunned.Immediately, he might feel ashamed of being overwhelmed by the opponent's aura, so he raised the whip and wanted to whip it up again, "How dare you meddle in your grandpa's affairs, are you impatient?!"
Snapped!There was another crisp sound of a whip falling.
"I'm afraid your man has already been separated from his family by now, so you can't wait to reunite with him underground?"
The hand clinging to the whip was raised high, and the woman stood in front of the old man. Although her black hair was disheveled and her face was covered with dirt, her eyes were still clear and calm, and the light she projected was as firm as a rock, without any fear. .
"If you beat me to death, remember to send a message to old thief Huo, praying for the lives of 120 or [-] people in the family. This account will be recorded in Hades' book, and my husband and I will ask him for it if we become ghosts!"
He said every word, every word was full of deep hatred, as if he wanted to fry the other party's skin and bones, drink his blood and eat his flesh raw.
"Then grandpa, I will help you!" The officer's hand trembling with the whip, squinting at the others, gritted his teeth and was about to whip it off...
Suddenly, a white light flashed across the sky.
"Ahhhh──"
With a heart-piercing scream, the whip in the officer's hand and the arm holding the whip fell to the sandy ground. Rolling on the ground, howling and screaming.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked up──
Behind the officers and soldiers whose arms had been cut off, a tall Yuncong appeared on the sand dune at some point, and a man in white was sitting on the horse's back. The cloak was hunting and flying in the wind and sand together, and a cold breath lingered around him.
The man in white held a rapier with his right hand, and with a slight twist of his wrist, the blade of the sword reflected a silver glow in the sunlight that made people feel chills down the spine.
The remaining officers and soldiers stepped forward and shouted sharply, "Who?"
The man in white didn't raise his head, didn't answer, just shook his arm holding the sword, and suddenly jumped up from the horse, with his feet on the saddle, his body went straight towards the officers and soldiers like an arrow from a bowstring.
The officers and soldiers were thrown into chaos immediately, and as soon as they put their hands on the sabers at their waists, a few flashes of sword light dazzled the eyes, but in the blink of an eye, those people turned into a pile of unconscious corpses, all of which were split in two from the middle, stained with blood. Large expanses of sand.
The blank eyes of the prisoners also showed fear.
The man in white killed so many people at once, but there was not a drop of blood on his clothes and sword. He lowered his body and took out the key and money bag used to open the shackles from the corpses of the officers and soldiers, and threw them to one of the prisoners, "Yourselves Let's go." The voice was lulling, but it didn't sound frightening, and after he finished speaking, he stopped caring about those criminals and went straight to the woman.
The woman was not afraid, she sat on the ground and raised her head slightly to look at him, with a little wariness in her eyes.
The man in white walked up to the woman with his sword in his hand, raised his hand, and the sword light flashed coldly. The woman closed her eyes instinctively, thinking that it was someone who came to take her life personally, but she didn't want to hear a "click" in her ear. The shackles around the neck fell off.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, she couldn't believe it, she saw that the other party put the sword back into its sheath, and squatted down in front of her, pulled down the cloak on her head, revealing a handsome and elegant face, as pale as black chrysanthemums, eyes The light is clear.
"You are……?"
The corner of the mouth of the young man in white twitched slightly, "I'm holding the moon sword Ling Qing."
The woman was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "What's your relationship with Ling Guanghai?"
Ling Qing helped the woman up from the ground, and then said: "Ling Guanghai is my father. My father fought against the Liao soldiers in Yongzhou with all the martial arts knights and General Qi. My father accidentally entered the siege. It was General Qi who rushed into the killing array regardless of life and death. I saved my father. This time Ling Qing was ordered by my father to protect my wife." After speaking, his eyes fell on the woman's slightly protruding abdomen.
Sensing the gaze of the other party, the woman caressed her upper abdomen with a touch of love and affection in her eyes.
"It's been five months. Jing Yue didn't know he was going to be a father when he was falsely imprisoned..." Then he raised his head and said slowly: "That bastard Huo Xian killed my husband and punished the nine clans of the Qi family. I want to keep the only seedling of the Qi family to comfort the spirit of the deceased husband in heaven. One day, I will let my child kill the dog thief with his hands and sacrifice the soul of the dead!"
Ling Qing didn't make a sound, but with his index finger in his mouth, he blew a long howl. The cloud horse came down from the hill and ran in front of him. Ling Qing helped the woman get on the horse, and after she sat firmly, he also got on the horse. .
"Let's get out of here first." Flicking the horsewhip, "Drive!"
Under the scorching sun and wind and sand, Yun Cong ran towards the place where heaven and earth meet.
The assassination of Huo Xian failed, and the righteous way of martial arts was severely damaged, while Ling Qing fell into depression because of Yan Yunlie's defection to the courtier.At this moment, he received a letter from his father who sent people to rush to him day and night.
A month ago, Yongzhou fell, [-] cities were trapped, and [-] soldiers were lost. Qi Jingyue, the defender of Yongzhou, had to retreat to Yunzhou with the rest of his troops.
When the news was sent back to the imperial court, Longyan was furious, and he also listened to Huo Xian's slander that General Anbei had been bought by the Jinren.So with a piece of imperial order, Qi Jingyue was recalled to the capital.As soon as Qi Jingyue and his confidants entered the city gate, they were kidnapped by the forbidden army and taken into prison to await trial.
Who would have thought that Huo Xian would act as a hindrance, bribe the governor of Yongzhou to give false testimony, and torture Qi Jingyue to extract a confession. In the end, he was framed and convicted.
When the first emperor first came to the throne, there was a riot among the vassal kings in all directions. It was the ancestors of the Qi family who led the troops to put it down, and then guarded Yongzhou to resist the invasion of the Liao people.The first emperor proclaimed him General Anbei, and his descendants inherited it from generation to generation.Now that he was convicted of treason, the nine clans were punished, and all the officials knelt and remonstrated for three days and three nights, but the emperor indulged in the harem, and had sex with the new beauties from the Western Regions all day long.
The papers pleading for the General's mercy piled up into mountains, but they were all privately detained by Huo Xian, and someone had to ask Jianghu for help.
Ling Qing and Dongli Muyun split into two ways after learning about it. Dongli Muyun led people to rob the execution ground, while Ling Qing went after the female relatives who had been exiled in the border.Whoever wanted to walk halfway heard that Qi's family had been betrayed and had already been secretly executed. Dongli Muyun led his men to escape, but was intercepted by Huo Xian's men, and the battle resulted in countless casualties.
While he was chasing, he encountered several batches of Huo Xian's blood droplets, all heading towards the border. Although he didn't know what happened, he felt vaguely that those people were going towards the exiled Mrs. Qi.Therefore, the whole journey was non-stop, and he finally caught up with the escort team before reaching the western border.
Knowing that Mrs. Qi was pregnant, Ling Qing guessed that the blood droplets coming towards the border should be sent by Huo Xian after he also heard that Mrs. Qi was pregnant, and issued a killing order to kill the weeds.
When General Qi was arrested, even Mrs. Qi probably didn’t know that she was pregnant with Qi’s family’s flesh and blood. Later, General Qi was convicted, Qi’s family was punished by the nine clans, and the female relatives were sent out. of.Only Huo Xian would not want to leave behind any root seeds that might threaten his life in the future.
Ling Qing originally planned to send Mrs. Qi outside the pass to avoid being chased by Huo Xian's subordinates, but Mrs. Qi insisted on returning to Lin'an, wanting to give birth to and raise the child in her hometown.
Ling Qing didn't object, but secretly thought about the danger along the way.
Dongli Muyun's forces are in the east, and the last news he got when he was about to leave Yuzhou and enter Jizhou was that Dongli Muyun fell into Huo Xian's trap and failed to save General Qi.
Now that they are in the north, they don't know what's going on in the territory. Ling Qing doesn't dare to contact Dongli Muyun rashly, for fear of being discovered by Huo Xian's people, so she thinks, now they can only take one step at a time. To the south of Yuzhou is the Wulin It might be safe there.
Mrs. Qi was pregnant and could not ride a horse, so Ling Qing took a carriage. She wanted Mrs. Qi to pretend to be his wife and dress up as a servant, but that clean and handsome scholarly face had nothing to do with it except for the sword callus. The traces of rough work, no matter how you look at it, you are a person who is served by a good student, even if you put on a short coat, you don't look like a servant in the slightest.
In the end, Mrs. Qi proposed to address each other as siblings, and if anyone asked, they would say that the elder brother had to take care of the family business, so the younger brother could only escort the sister-in-law back to her natal home, and now she was on her way home from visiting relatives.
Mrs. Qi's surname is Ruan, and her maiden name is Suxue. She was born in the Qihuang family. Ling Qing once heard from her father that Mrs. Qi is not an ordinary woman.Now that she has undergone a sudden change, she still shows a calmness and strength that is different from ordinary women. The so-called women do not give up to men, and there are heroes among women, so it must be so.
Entering Jizhou, he ran into a group of officers and soldiers head-on.
Ling Qing took the reins back, slowed down the horse, and leaned the carriage to the side of the road to get out of the main road.
The officers and soldiers had just passed by with their horses, and the smoke and dust raised by the horseshoes had not yet dissipated, followed by the sound of a series of horseshoes galloping.This time there were only two of them, and they were well dressed, and the brocade clothes and costumes seemed to be of high status.Ling Qing saw with sharp eyes that the marks on the buttocks of these two men and the horses ridden by the officers and soldiers in front were the same. It was obvious that those people in front had opened the way first.
Who is it that there are officers and soldiers leading the way?
When Ling Qing was wondering, Ruan Suxue lightly raised the curtain of the car, "The person who passed by just now was the second prince Chengrui Wang Zhao Shuo, and his personal bodyguards followed him, and the group of people who passed by in front were the subordinates of the King of Chu."
Ling Qing nodded lightly, people in the Jianghu never cared about the affairs of the imperial court, only thieves like Huo Xian would make the Jianghu gang up and suppress them.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of that person...
The situation of that day emerged in my mind, the feeling of the sword piercing into flesh and blood, the bright red gushing between the fingers, and the cold and bone-piercing sight projected from those eyes as deep as a pool...
"Ling Qing?"
Ling Qing came back to his senses, and tried to cover up his lack of focus, "I was thinking... What is a prince doing in this wild place?"
Although they have already entered Jizhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty is beyond the next mountain, and there are no people along the way, only a few post stations are a little bit lively, and the two people don't look like they are on a business tour, which is really unusual.
Hearing this, Ruan Suxue said: "Since ancient times, when the emperor was not in power and the treacherous officials were in power, it was a sign that the country would change its master."
Ling Qing was taken aback, "Madam Qi means...?"
"Jizhou is the fiefdom of the king of Chu, and he has become incompetent when the sage is still the prince. The king of Chu once said that his warlocks watched the stars at night. The evil face should be abolished and set up separately. The first emperor reprimanded him to confuse the people with his demonic words. These words spread to the ears of the prince, and since then there has been a rift. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the king of Chu did not even have an audience. He was incompatible with love and etiquette. Now King Chengrui appeared Here, I think there should be some action..."
Ling Qing was a little confused, this king and that king were both former emperors and current emperors, but he heard Ruan Suxue's words.
"Since ancient times, when the emperor was not in power and the treacherous ministers were in power, it was a sign that the country would change its master."
The old king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also a vassal king, and the turmoil in the court, or self-declaration as emperor or king with troops, would be involved to some extent.
Ling Qing couldn't help feeling a little worried, and secretly hoped that there would be nothing wrong with Dongli's family before he went back... He had always respected and loved Dongli Muyun as his elder brother, so if something happened to Dongli's family, Ling Qing would naturally not stand by and watch.
There are many mountains in Jizhou, the mountains are continuous, the mountains are beautiful, majestic and magnificent, but the mountain roads are extremely difficult to walk.
Ruan Suxue was on the way to be escorted to the border when she was pregnant. Her family was broken and her body and mind were damaged, which led to unstable fetal breath. Although she knew the art of Qihuang, she would go to the pharmacy to get medicine for miscarriage when she passed by the post station, but she should not be too bumpy and tired.So I walked very slowly all the way, stopping and stopping, and had to stop and rest for a few days when I arrived in a slightly larger town.
In fact, Ling Qing didn't dare to rush too hastily. After being injured by Yan Yunlie's internal energy in Huo's mansion that day, his internal energy has been in chaos. The Qinghong sect is a branch of Wudang sect, which follows the Taoist tradition, pays attention to the mind, and the chaos of the mind is the devil; the other is that things come one after another, and he has no time to take care of it.
Wanyue Sword has already achieved a small success, there is no possibility of practicing it, and no matter how chaotic the mood is, it will not affect it. Ling Qing really can't figure out the reason, so he can only adjust his breath while resting. It's fine if the enemy can resist for a while.
The capital, the back chamber of Chenxiang Pavilion.
Yan Yunlie, Yuan Bugui, and a gorgeously dressed and picturesque woman walked together to a wing room in the deepest part of the courtyard.
The room didn't look like anything special, but after a closer look, it was discovered that the windows of the room were covered with a layer of black cloth.
"I just received a letter from Fei Ge from the Wei Zuo envoy, saying that he has returned to Tianjue Mountain, and the affairs of the church will be handled carefully. Please rest assured, the teacher." The woman said softly.
Yan Yunlie nodded, and put his hands behind his back, "Wei Yu is always at ease when doing things." Then he stared at the closed door, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, "It's been so many days, and there is still no movement inside?"
"This……"
The woman seemed to be hesitant, but before she could continue, she heard a heart-piercing scream from inside the room, together with the sound of tables and chairs overturned and crockpots breaking, the three of them were startled.
Yan Yunlie turned his head to look at the woman beside him, seeing her embarrassed, hesitant and worried expression, he raised his foot and kicked the door open.
There was a smell of blood in the room, mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs. Through the ray of light coming in from the door, one could see the earthen pot that fell on the ground, and a person lying in the corner.
"If you don't return to light the lamp, Huai Die will go to see the situation of the Gu Master."
"Yes."
Yuan Bugui put down the medicine box on the table, took out the fire folder, and the weak fire drew several arcs of light in the dark room, and then suddenly lit up.
Huai Die helped the Gu Master to sit up, only to see that the Gu Master's complexion was blue and turned black, his seven orifices were bleeding, the fingernails of his hands were also black, he was unconscious and trembling all the time.Yuan Bugui hurried over to help the Gu master onto the bed, and put his hands on the pulse gate to diagnose his pulse.
"How about Gu Master?" Yan Yunlie walked to the bed, looked at the person on the bed, and asked.
Yuan Bugui shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill and stuffed it into the Gu Master's mouth, sighed, "Being bitten by the Gu, I'm afraid..."
Yan Yunlie frowned even tighter. Turning around, he saw Huai Die was picking up the crockpots scattered all over the floor to check. As if noticing Yan Yunlie's gaze, Huai Die raised his head, his red lips pursed tightly and his eyebrows frowned. He also shook his head.
Yan Yunlie didn't say a word, his already dignified face turned livid, and he looked a little angry.
"No, you stay here to take care of the Gu Master." Yan Yunlie ordered in a cold voice, then flung his sleeves and strode away.
Walking into the courtyard, there was nowhere to vent his breath, Yan Yunlie let out a low growl, and slapped a palm on the rockery in the courtyard. There was a loud bang, and the ten-meter-high rock was smashed into pieces, bursting into pieces. The stones flew in all directions, and a few sharp gravels cut a long and narrow hole in his clothes.
"Master Yan, this level is not an ordinary Gu... and some Gu, even if you know what it is and how to install it, you may not be able to find a way to solve it. In this regard, the Tianjue Sect is better than me. Outsiders know better."
Huo Xian's words at that time were still in his ears, Yan Yunlie clenched his fists tightly, it seemed that he thought too simple of that old thief Huo Xian.
"Master." Huai Die chased him out, walked to Yan Yunlie's side and bowed his head respectfully, "This time, please let the subordinates come down and try."
Yan Yunlie turned around, his expression improved slightly, but he was still cold and displeased, "No, I don't want to lose my capable subordinates for this."
Unraveling Gu is a very dangerous thing. You cannot see the light or be seen by others. The most important thing is that most of the Gu can only be undone by the person who cast the Gu. go in.
"I also agree not to try again." Yuan Bugui closed the door lightly, and walked over, "Master, why don't we put a Gu on old thief Huo and force him to hand over the method of solving "Ji Di" , He is just a common man, relying on his power and the group of guards around him, there is no need for us to humble ourselves in front of him."
Yan Yunlie looked at Yuan Bugui with deep eyes, then patted him on the shoulder, and walked away, "Do you think this seat has never thought about it? But that old thief is very cunning, and this seat has not gained his trust. When I saw this seat, I was separated by a cloth curtain, so Huai Die couldn't even use the method of blowing Gu, what's more..."
Yan Yunlie stopped, turned around, and waited for Yuan Bugui to follow before he opened his mouth, "Even if you put a spell on that old thief, if you are not careful, the old thief will be killed before he can tell the method... No It's worth it..." I sighed again and again that it wasn't worth it, "I'm not sure about exchanging his life for his life."
When he said this, Yan Yunlie could not hide the depression on his face.
Yuan Bugui opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that it had been three months and there was still no news. He didn't know if the medicine he gave him had any effect. With the frustration in the Great Hierarch, he didn't dare to stab him in the heart again.
People who are usually unrestrained and merciless, once trapped in a person, they get deeper and deeper and cannot be pulled out no matter how hard they are.
"Master, this is the first time this subordinate has seen the leader take a person so seriously." Yuan Bugui said.
Yan Yunlie frowned, then looked up at Tian's thoughtful expression, "Isn't this bad?"
"Okay, the leader finally understands the feelings of those sons and daughters when they were sent away. It's really gratifying, so gratifying." Yuan Bugui sang, shaking his head, but Yan Yunlie stared at him with a black face, and he obediently stopped his voice. It seems that the tense atmosphere has finally eased up.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Yan Yunlie thought for a while, "It seems that we have to negotiate terms with that old thief..."
It is estimated that Huo Xian also knows that once Yan Yunlie gets what he wants, maybe he will get back all the time spent on him, so Huo Xian is not very willing to make such a deal that is not good for himself in the future , but what Yan Yunlie wants, he can't allow him to hide it!
Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue stopped and stopped all the way, and it took a month to reach Licheng in Jizhou.
There were many officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, holding portraits in their hands. People entering and leaving the city were stopped and checked one by one. Those who looked a little suspicious and flustered were taken aside for interrogation to check whether there was any cross-dressing and disguise. She was pregnant, and was taken away by officers and soldiers without saying a word, shouting, threatening, and crying, and the city gate was in chaos.
Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue sat on the teahouse not far away, and they could clearly see what happened at the city gate.
From the Central Plains to the North, or from the North to the Central Plains, there is only this pass.
If it was in the past, how could this earthen wall stop Ling Qing's wind and clouds? Those officers and soldiers were not even qualified to compete with him, but the premise was that Ling Qing was alone...
"All right, all right... all right..."
Ling Qing turned around when she heard the voice, and saw an old woman begging at the table.The old woman was dressed in rags full of patches, her silver hair was disheveled and drooping on her face, her back was hunched, and she was holding a dirty broken bowl in her hand. She was chased back and forth in disgust by the guests at the tables in front of her.
When the old woman walked up to Ruan Suxue, Ruan Suxue took two white flour steamed buns from the table and put them in her bowl, "Old mother, take away whatever you like on the table."
Hearing this, Ling Qing took out a few copper coins and handed them over, but the old woman didn't take them, she just grabbed Ruan Suxue's hand and said twice, "Good people will be rewarded", then stumbled away.
Ling Qing's hand holding the copper coin was still in the air, raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction where the old woman left in puzzlement, Ruan Suxue snorted, "Silly boy, didn't you see that 'her' hands are men's hands at all?" ?” As he spoke, he spread out his palms, and at some point there was a paper bag in his hand.
"This is……?"
Ruan Suxue didn't say much, and unfolded the paper bag, on which were carefully written the words "I want to leave the city, at midnight tonight, the woods in the western suburbs" written on it in small letters.
The note was spread out on the table, Ling Qing turned his head to look at the line of writing, but was silent, it seemed that the identities of the two had been found out, but he didn't know whether this person was an enemy or a friend.
"My dear brother, do you think... shall we go to this appointment?" Ruan Suxue said while pouring the water in the teacup on the paper, and the paper would melt when it touched the water.
Ling Qing looked up at the gate of the city again, and said softly: "There is no other way..."
knock knock!knock knock! "The sky is dry and the things are dry──be careful of the fire and candle──!" Knock knock!
The sound of drums echoed crisply on the deserted streets.
Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue came to the woods west of the city according to what was written on the note.
It was early autumn, and the north was dry and rainless. There was a layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and there was a crackling sound when one stepped on it.
The forest was very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy, and the branches swaying lightly under the night wind cast strange and frightening shadows like ghosts.
Clap!
The sound of stepping on dead branches was extraordinarily loud, causing Ling Qing's already tense nerves to jump twice in his heart.
Almost at the same time, several figures suddenly jumped out from among the branches, and the torches held in their hands immediately lit up the surroundings, the branches swayed, and the light and shadow rustled.
Ling Qingkeng shakes the sword out of its sheath, and protects Ruan Suxue behind her back, her clear eyes narrow her cold eyes, and she doesn't intend to ask the other party's whereabouts. , but heard a deep voice filled with internal force that shook the eardrums.
"Young Xia Ling, don't misunderstand, we have no malicious intentions!"
Hearing this, Ling Qing turned his gestures, and the point of the sword changed its direction. The sword energy that came out was like an invisible knife across the ground, splashing broken leaves like flying, and the sharp wind of the sword brushed a person's arm and cut off the arm behind him. A thick and big tree hugged by one person is almost like a chopped green onion.
Someone rose into the air in the forest, stepped over the slowly falling tree, and then landed firmly in front of the two of them.
"Shaoxia Ling is good at swordsmanship!" The visitor praised without hesitation.
Ling Qing still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and looked at the opponent up and down.
The visitor is middle-aged, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic expression.Ling Qing thought for a while, he probably didn't recognize this person, but seeing the other person's awe-inspiring uprightness, he also relaxed a little, and bowed Gui Menggui, "May I ask what your name is?"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled faintly, "I don't dare to be your honor, I'm the head of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, Yang Zhenhai." He said loudly, his words full of air.
Ling Qing was stunned for a moment, he had heard of the reputation of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau before, not only because their bodyguards were all strong, tough, and highly skilled in martial arts, but also because they had friendship in both good and evil, and their reputation in the martial arts was unmatched. They have a few big family villas, and even the government sometimes transports important supplies by them as escorts.
"I don't know what advice Chief Yang has for asking us to come late at night?" Knowing that the other party is a bold person, Ling Qing didn't beat around the bush.
"In front of Ling Qing, Moon Moon Sword, I don't dare to give advice." Yang Zhenhai's eyes fell on Ruan Suxue who was behind Ling Qing, "Excuse me... is this Mrs. Qi?"
Hearing his words, both Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue became nervous, Ling Qing couldn't help but throw Gui Meng in front of him, and put his other hand in front of Ruan Suxue.
Seeing this, Yang Zhenhai raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing, he said: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Mr. Yang invited you here to escort Mrs. Qi out of the city."
Hearing what he said, Ling Qing still didn't quite believe it.
"The gates of the city are guarded by heavy soldiers, maybe there are killers supported by Huo Xian in the dark... Rather than taking risks, the head of the bodyguard Yang will be under control and hand Mrs. Qi into Huo Xian's hands. Maybe he will get both money and fortune, and the business will be smoother in the future. Proud, with such a good deal, why take the risk?"
After Ling Qing finished speaking, he put his finger on Guimeng's sheath. He thought he was right. Huo Xianquan was in favor of the government and the public, and now Tianjuejiao is using him. The court is full of people. Instead of taking risks to fight against, it is better to surrender and take refuge in the opportunity to please , which is more beneficial to oneself.
Yang Zhenhai's face darkened a bit, "Does Shaoxia Ling believe Yang?"
Ling Qing responded coldly, "I'm sorry, Chief Yang, I have to say something. Chief Yang and Mrs. Qi have never met each other. It's really hard for me to believe that someone is willing to take such a risk."
Yang Zhenhai was silent and his face was dark. The serious and deterrent aura exuding from his body was extremely oppressive, pressing down like Mount Tai. The two sides fell into a silent confrontation, and the atmosphere was tense, as if something was about to explode.
After a while, Yang Zhenhai suddenly said, but to the subordinates behind him, "Ling Shaoxia said, if sending them out of customs is a matter of narrow escape, if they are handed over to Huo Xian, maybe the Weiyuan Escort Bureau will make a lot of money from now on. Tell me, do you want to be rescued?"
The surroundings were quiet for a while, and suddenly someone spoke up, and said with vigor: "In the second year of Fengtai, General Qi led Qi's family army to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty. He made great contributions in protecting the country. He is so loyal and good. He was killed by traitors. He who sees him should save him!"
As soon as the words fell, someone continued: "In the first year of Shunyan, the Liao people invaded. General Qi led the troops to garrison Yongzhou. In three years, they repelled the Liao people's invasion [-] times and wiped out more than [-] enemies. It is a blessing to have such a brave general. , now the traitor is plotting to murder, the ruler of the country is stupid, if the king does not save his ministers, we will come to save him!"
"Four years later, Yongzhou fell. General Pray led two hundred elite soldiers into the enemy's camp to take the head of the marshal, and stop the troops at Tianmen Pass. If there is a son like his father, he will be a hero of the generation. He will desperately rescue him in the future!"
Three rescues in a row, the words were clanging, and there was a sound on the ground, Ruan Suxue was already sobbing.
How mighty and upright Qi Jingyue was, galloping on the battlefield, killing enemies for thousands of miles, devoted all his life to defending the country, but in the end he was decapitated, and now his bones are nowhere to be found.
"Is Ling Shaoxia satisfied with this answer?" Yang Zhenhai asked him with a slight smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
Ling Qing took back the hand that was lying in front of him, and cupped it again, "I made a slip of the tongue, I offended you so much, please forgive me, Chief Yang."
Yang Zhenhai waved his hand, "We don't have much time, please listen to Yang's plan."
The story of Qi Jingyue's being framed spread throughout the martial arts world very early, including the fact that Dongli Muyun led people to rob the dharma field but failed.
Ling Qing went on the road together with the Minghua faction, and later divided into several groups. Even Dongli Muyun didn't tell him his whereabouts, so the Weiyuan Escort Bureau should not be sent by Dongli to support him.
However, since the world has spread, it is not impossible for someone to have the same idea as them. After all, many people in the world regard chivalry as more important than fame and fortune.
