Run the rivers and lakes

Chapter 9 Leaving Jinling

The street is still bustling, but inadvertently, the atmosphere seems to have undergone a subtle change, teaching people to smell a dangerous atmosphere mixed with fish and dragons.

Out of sight, some people mixed in the crowd, clenched the daggers in their sleeves, and walked through the crowd step by step to approach Wei Shuxing and his party.

Wei Shu put his hand on the head of the sword.

He didn't want to draw out his sword, since this is a busy city, drawing out his sword might accidentally injure others.

But he could feel that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the sound of footsteps was gradually audible.

His heart beat faster and faster.

The enemy is already behind him!

coming!

At this critical moment, Liu Yunsheng gently covered Wei Shuxing's hand touching the sword with his palm, like the cool wind blowing off a flame, suddenly softening Wei Shuxing's tight strings.

When the enemy hidden in the crowd waited for an opportunity to attack, Liu Yunsheng retracted the fan with his right hand, held Wei Shuxing's shoulder with his left hand, and pulled him in front of him, as if protecting him.

"It's more appropriate for me to do things that don't see blood." Wei Shuxing heard Liu Yunsheng whispering in his ear, and the breath when he spoke was in his ear, like a cloud of smoke drifting suddenly, a hot air that will not dissipate, a little disturbing people.

Liu Yunsheng supported Wei Shuxing's shoulder all the time, and Wei Shuxing stood like a pillar, feeling the strength on his shoulders from time to time, and heard the sound of the fan beating non-stop.Not long after, he heard the sound of people falling to the ground one after another.

There was an uproar in the street, Liu Yunsheng turned his head and saw that Baishu was protecting Baizhi, and that he had dealt with the surrounding enemies without blood, so he grabbed Wei Shuxing and ran forward.

An arrow was condescending, and it was chasing after them all the way.

Qiu Xiaoba's arrows were not in vain.

Seeing that the arrow was about to catch up with them, Wei Shuxing turned his head back, and seeing the sharp arrow coming at him, his eyes widened.

It's a pity that Wei Shuxing's shocked expression didn't last long, Bai Shu blocked behind him, and just flicked up and down with his wide black sleeve, the arrow instantly lost its strength, and was softly drawn into Bai Shu's undulating long hair. In the sleeve, and honestly rolled into his palm.

This time it was Qiu Xiaoba's turn to be shocked.He saw Bai Shu raised his bamboo hat a little, and glanced in his direction, his eyes were like two cold needles, which made his whole body shudder, and Bai Shu seemed to lift the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Qiu Xiaoba suspected that he had an illusion, and when he came back to his senses, the person had disappeared from sight.

"It seems that sometimes, 'the arrow is not in vain' is just a false name." Ye Zheng's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Qiu Xiaoba was suddenly taken aback.

"Uncle Ye, it's you, why are you walking so silently?" Qiu Xiaoba heaved a sigh of relief.

"There was a sound, but you didn't hear it yourself."

Qiu Xiaoba had a frowning face: "That person actually wiped out my arrow attack with one sleeve. Are the remaining five heroes of Jiangzuo so powerful? No, then why is Gu Xueming so useless now? Woolen cloth."

Ye Zheng remained silent, and frowned at him, feeling a little noisy.

Qiu Xiaoba continued to babble: "What kind of moves does this Baishu practice? Isn't he an ordinary doctor? White-clothed sage, white-clothed sage, white-clothed sage, isn't he famous for his medical skills..."

Ye Zheng wanted to perfunctory him and shut his mouth: "I don't know, among the Five Heroes of Jiang Zuo, I have never fought against him, and I don't know much about his martial arts. .”

Sometimes Qiu Xiaoba's mouth is like a river breaking its embankment, as soon as he starts talking, he can easily chatter non-stop, like firecrackers during the festival.But at this time, he still closed his mouth unwillingly, and then asked reluctantly: "Uncle Ye, they ran away and seemed to be leaving the city. Are you still chasing them?"

Ye Zheng thought for a while, and replied: "I guess we won't be able to catch up for the time being, but even if they escape from Jinling, Wufangtang's eyeliner is everywhere in the rivers and lakes, and we can always find them."

"Then Uncle Ye, did I go to the branch hall down there?" Qiu Xiaoba touched his chin.

"You go with Fu Yuan."

"Ah? Well then..." Qiu Xiaoba was a little unhappy when he heard that he was with Fu Yuan, but he reluctantly agreed.

He scratched his head and turned the subject to Ye Zheng, with a sincere and aggrieved expression: "Uncle Ye, to be honest, don't you want to chase Wei Shuxing a bit...Although I can understand your feelings, Uncle Ye, Wei Shuxing It's a shame that he actually murdered the eldest lady, his crime is unimportant! But you still wanted to cover him up..."

Seeing Qiu Xiaoba talking nonsense and becoming more and more excited, Ye Zheng raised his hand, put his thumb on his left cheek, and the other four fingers on his right cheek, pinched his flesh and squeezed in the middle, Qiu Xiaoba opened his eyes wide, She pouted and looked at him in shock.Ye Zheng said very patiently: "First of all, I didn't want to cover him up. I just thought the case was suspicious and wanted to find out other answers...Secondly, what did you understand? What do you want to understand about my mood?"

Ye Zheng let go of his hand, Qiu Xiaoba rubbed his face, and reluctantly explained: "I heard someone say that Uncle Ye and Senior Wei Bumian were friends before."

Ye Zheng had an expression of "so it was just like this" on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "After friends part ways, they can't be regarded as friends, at most they are old friends. You don't have to worry carefully, and come to test it out. You have stayed in Wufangtang for a long time, and you know what to do and what not to do."

"No, no, Uncle Ye, I didn't mean that..." Qiu Xiaoba waved his hands quickly, looking innocent and calm.

Ye Zheng glanced at him, didn't pay much attention, just rubbed his palms, said "it's okay" and planned to leave, after walking a few steps, he turned sideways and called him: "Little Ba."

"Yes." Qiu Xiaoba thought he was about to explain something, so he stood at attention.

Ye Zheng said: "Your beard is too sticky, go back and trim it, just shave it, it's sloppy."

Qiu Xiaoba: "..."

Liu Yunsheng and Wei Shuxing ran side by side.Wei Shuxing asked as he ran, "What did you do just now? It's the same as acupuncture."

"Basically, that trick is called 'Folding Laurels in the Mid-Moon'." Liu Yunsheng replied.

Wei Shuxing thought of Liu Yunsheng's "meteor chasing the moon" before, with a complicated expression on his face, thinking what kind of moves these were, and they were not the same as he imagined in the scenery of Jiyue's fairy sect.

Liu Yunsheng seemed to know what Wei Shuxing was thinking, he chuckled, and said in a fluttering voice, "The things taught by our Immortal under the Cloud, we are the master of stealth."

Wei Shuxing felt that the illusion he had built up since childhood was shattered.

Bai Shu pulled Bai Zhi to catch up with Wei Shuxing and the others, and the four of them fled to a corner of the street.Bai Shu said: "Nephew, you and Liu Shaoxia go out of the city first, and then go west."

"Then third uncle...?" Wei Shuxing asked.

"I'll look for the fourth child, and then I'll look for you guys. Don't worry about us, you go ahead." As soon as Bai Shu finished speaking, he heard the noise of chasing and killing not far away, so he patted Wei Shuxing on the shoulder, "Let's go."

When Liu Yunsheng and Wei Shuxing helped each other to get rid of the enemy, a carriage stopped in front of them leisurely.

Gu Feiyu was holding the reins and sitting on the board of the car, a light green turban was wrapped around his head, covering half of his face, and he was wearing an embroidered rouge jacket and skirt. ——She ran to a place to get the emergency money that Gu Xueming had placed in the past, changed her clothes in order to mix in the street, and pretended to be a middle-aged woman who wanted to buy things with a basket, and then bought a tavern to send customers The pony carriage waited for Wei Shu near the city gate.

"You...uh, Feiyu?" Wei Shuxing was taken aback when he saw her outfit, "Why are you here?"

Gu Feiyu pulled down the scarf covering half of his face, his eyes lit up when he saw Wei Shuxing, and he said concisely: "My father gave me the key, and I escaped from Wufangtang's pursuit." Come on, get in the car, let's go out of town together."

In just one sentence, Wei Shuxing and Liu Yunsheng have learned a lot about the situation.Wei Shuxing thought to himself: It seems that Wufangtang is chasing after Wang Qingyue not only because of Wang Qingyue's death, but also because of the keys in the hands of his uncles, so could my father's death also be related to Wufangtang? How did Fangtang know the existence of the key?

Gu Feiyu glanced at Liu Yunsheng, then turned to Wei Shuxing who was thinking: "I just saw you two flying here, are you friends?"

Liu Yunsheng felt that Gu Feiyu's body color scheme was very eye-catching, so he lowered his head slightly, cupped his fists and saluted: "I'm here, Liu Yunsheng."

"Gu Feiyu." Gu Feiyu also returned the same courtesy in a free and easy way.

"Flying together is not used in this way." Wei Shuxing pinched the base of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "What's the matter with you?"

Gu Feiyu puffed his cheeks, lifted the skirt he had dragged on the car floor, and said righteously: "Isn't it because she is afraid of being discovered and pretends to be a young woman?"

"No young woman knows how to drive." Wei Shu said.

"That makes sense." Gu Feiyu nodded thoughtfully.

The thatch cloth carriage screamed with its wheels, and drove out of the city gate unharmed.The dark clouds in the distance have dispersed, the green mountains are hundreds of miles away, and the sky and the earth are full of soaring white birds. The sky is long and the earth is wide, and the road is long.

Gu Feiyu put down the curtain to change clothes in the nest, then talked to the two outside, then fell asleep leaning against the window in a daze.Wei Shuxing and Liu Yunsheng were sitting on the carriage outside, one holding the reins and the other shaking the whip.Liu Yunsheng was shaking and humming a ditty, the full moon and the moon are dotted between his brows, and the coquettish Yuxia is sprinkled in white clothes, like a man's robe.

Wei Shuxing interrupted his humming singing, and glanced at him: "What are you mumbling about?"

"What do you mean muttering? I'm obviously singing." Liu Yunsheng was a little unconvinced.

Wei Shuxing really didn't want to take his humming and chirping voice as singing, but he didn't want to disturb his interest, so he asked very cooperatively: "What song is this?"

"A poem by Wei Feng in the Book of Songs, 'Bi Qi's son is as beautiful as a British'." Liu Yunsheng glanced at him with a smile, "In some restaurants in Jinling, many singers can play and sing some songs, using some ancient poems to write lyrics, the melody is very It sounds good. Listening to them, a lot of music scores came from the Linzhou Opera House."

Wei Shuxing didn't feel how nice the melody was, and he wasn't interested in going to the restaurant to listen to the girl singing, so he picked a non-essential topic from Liu Yunsheng's words: "So? You have a good relationship with the singers in Jinling Restaurant? "

"Yeah, because I'm handsome." Liu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows, leaned sideways to Wei Shuxing intentionally, poked his waist with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Don't be jealous of me, you actually... Very nice, the one in the back curtain..."

"She's just a younger sister." Wei Shuxing supported his arm and pushed him away, frowning, "You're too close."

"Be gentle, I'm still a wounded person." Liu Yunsheng pretended to be in pain and leaned against the door frame, complaining, "I realize that you really don't know how to attack."

Seeing Liu Yunsheng's appearance, Wei Shuxing apologized helplessly: "I'm sorry, you seem to be very active, I forgot that you have an injury on your shoulder."

Liu Yunsheng raised the corner of his lips in a friendly manner, and said sincerely: "Well... I just remembered it too."

Wei Shuxing was speechless, it was the first time he had seen such a big-hearted person at such a young age.
