Maung-mei is wrong
Chapter 184
The heavy rain kept falling, and it seemed to turn Guiliang Mansion into a city of water. The sky and the earth were gray and foggy, and all the grievances and hatred seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the breathless heaviness.
Several special guards evened out the horses, and gave up three to Nie Yunhan and others. Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng, Zhuo Yingxian and Yun Xuzi each took two horses. Nie Yunhan carried Xiang Yushu's body on his back and rode alone Zuo Hengqiu insisted on flying with his wings in the heavy rain.
A group of people rushed to Yangbo Port, but they didn't meet any pursuers on the way, and the port guards became loose due to the heavy rain. Zhang Xiaowu and Liu Yun rode together on the same horse, and led them to find Kong Tan's big ship quickly.
Kong Tan came out to meet him himself. Seeing this situation, after everyone got on the boat, he ordered the boat to sail, and ordered people to cook ginger soup and burn charcoal fire.
Xiang Yu Shu's body was placed on the floor of the hall, everyone didn't care to change their clothes, they sat around like a water ghost, paying silent tribute to him.
Nie Yunhan personally wiped Xiang Yushu's face, took off his water-soaked robe, but found the little sugar figure that fell out of his arms.
It was when they first arrived in Wenzhou, Xiang Yushu cried and wanted to be a sugar figure just like himself, and was reprimanded by Nie Yunhan for this, he took out the sweet-scented osmanthus candy like a puppy and said, "Brother Han, don't be angry , I invite you to eat sugar."
Nie Yunhan scolded him, and he felt sorry for himself, so after finishing his work, he went to the peddler and pinched this candy figurine for him.
Unexpectedly, he didn't throw it away. This silly boy, did he use this thing as a talisman?
The weather was hot, the little sugar man was held in Xiang Yu Shu's arms, more than half of it had melted, his face was so blurred that he couldn't recognize it, Nie Yunhan was holding it, tears came out of his eyes.
Be it the red boa or the spirit wings, everyone is used to seeing their comrades die in battle, but the loss of such a young and fresh life still makes everyone feel sad.
Zuo Hengqiu's face was tense, his pain was palpable, since he started on the road, Xiang Yushu had been his partner all along, he regarded the young man not only as a colleague, but also as a younger brother, the sudden death of him made him feel It hurt like a piece of flesh was missing in my heart.
Wan Lifeng next to her kept crying suppressedly, and Dai Yansheng simply stopped comforting her. Everyone was sad, so it was better to cry as fast as possible.
Nie Yunhan gently stroked Xiang Yushu's peaceful eyebrows, and said hoarsely: "Yu Shu, don't worry, we will definitely take you home."
Zhuo Yingxian recalled the scenes of getting along with Xiang Yushu, remembered how everyone forced him to dress up as a bookboy when they left Tangzhou Mansion, remembered the depressed look of a young man when Nie Yunhan snatched his chicken leg and forced it to him, remembered him and You Xiao The yearning appearance when I accompanied myself to the Guanque Tower to listen to the music, and when I and Nie Yunhan were trapped in the mine, the boy jumped into the blasted mine with a rope tied around his waist, and shouted at them, "Brother Han! Brother Xian" ! Where are you? I came down to save you"...
God is really unfair, what Xiang Yu Shu wanted was to have a home of his own, but before he had time to taste the joy of life, he was forced to bid farewell at this moment, like a ray of thin air against the morning sun. Fog, he only cares about walking in mid-air once, and then he is scorched by the rising sun and disappears into thin air—he is not yet 20 years old!
Yun Xuzi patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Xian'er, my condolences."
Zhuo Yingxian wiped the tears off his face, nodded vigorously, and looked worriedly at Nie Yunhan not far away.
Xiang Yushu's death is inseparable from Guan Pingye. For Nie Yunhan, apart from sadness, there is also torture. At this moment, all the family ties with the Guan family have become chains tied to him. One weight, tied him to suffocation.
Nie Yunhan stared blankly at Xiang Yushu's face, his mind went blank, he didn't know how he should face Guan Pingye, and he didn't know how he should deal with this matter.
Revenge for injustice, revenge for revenge, this is an undeniable truth since ancient times, but the enemy of his adoptive father is the emperor, as a foster son, he cannot be filial; Commander, you cannot avenge your comrades...
Nie Yunhan felt that he might have done too many sins in his previous life to be punished like this, or maybe because he had done too many sins in this life, this is the retribution of this world!
But if it is the retribution of the present world, why are they not the ones who died? !
While he was thinking wildly, Kong Tan came over and squatted beside him: "Brother Nie, you have to take care, there are important things waiting for you to do."
Nie Yunhan nodded lightly: "Yes, I understand."
The weather in Guiliang Mansion is hot, and it will definitely heat up after the heavy rain. Xiang Yu Shu's body won't be parked for long, and it's inconvenient to bring him back to his hometown in Tangzhou Mansion, so he can only be cremated and bring his ashes back.
But right now on the boat, there is no condition for cremation, so Nie Yunhan had to listen to Kong Tan's suggestion, wrapped Xiang Yushu with leather cloth layer by layer, tied it with a rope, hung it on the bottom of the boat, and immersed it in the river.The temperature of the river water is low, and it can last for a few more days.
After finishing this matter, Kong Tan forced everyone to drink a bowl of ginger soup on the spot, and he urged them to change into clean clothes in the cabin.
Kong Tan came prepared this time, and had already prepared rooms for them. Several rooms were adjacent to each other. When everyone was taken by the steward, they saw that the room that originally belonged to Xiang Yu Shu would not be occupied. Can't help feeling sad again, they all stopped at the door of their respective rooms, staring at the door sadly.
Yun Xuzi was considered unplanned, and the steward found that there was a room missing, and it was not easy for him to live in Xiang Yushu's room directly, so he took him to make another arrangement.
When the two were about to leave, Wanlifeng suddenly spoke, and she said in a strong nasal voice, "Don't bother, the Taoist priest can stay in my room, I live with Yansheng."
Dai Yansheng was startled: "Feng'er..."
"I don't want to be alone." After Wan Lifeng finished speaking, he opened the door and entered Dai Yansheng's cabin.
Nie Yunhan remained silent all the time, seeing that the accommodation had been arranged, he didn't say anything, and went into the room between himself and Zhuo Yingxian.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhuo Yingxian hugged him from behind, the damp and warm clothes stuck together, slowly exuding the warmth of his body temperature.
For a while, he couldn't find the right words to say, the words "sorrow and resignation" were too pale and useless for the two of them, so he could only hug each other tightly, trying to comfort Nie Yunhan with his arms.
Nie Yunhan let out a heavy breath, patted Zhuo Yingxian's hand, and said in a heavy voice, "Change your clothes first, lest you catch a cold."
Kong Tan has sent someone to deliver the clean clothes to each cabin, and they are neatly folded into a pile and placed on the bedside.
Zhuo Yingxian followed the rules of the good, insisted on undressing Nie Yunhan himself, and waited for him to change before it was his turn.
Nie Yunhan knew what he was thinking, so he didn't shirk it, he followed Zhuo Yingxian around like a wooden man, finally patted the bed, and said wearily: "Come, lie down with me for a while."
The night before last night, Nie Yunhan didn't fall asleep thinking about how to fake Guanshan. Last night they spent the whole night hiding in Guiliang Mansion City, so naturally they didn't get any rest.
Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng were rescued today, and they left the city gate neatly, at first they were elated, their spirits were refreshed for a while, and they didn't feel tired, but Xiang Yu Shu's sad news was like a blow to the head, knocking them all out with a stick.
Coupled with such a heavy rain, Nie Yunhan's mental and physical strength were on the verge of collapse. Zhuo Yingxian could see that he had been gritting his teeth and enduring it, and his heart hurt badly.
In front of others, Nie Yunhan is the vice-captain of the red boa, no matter what, he has to persevere, but now there are only the two of them, Zhuo Yingxian has been thinking about how to comfort him, now Nie Yunhan made a request, Zhuo Yingxian Lie down next to him kindly.
Nie Yunhan hugged Zhuo Yingxian from behind, buried his face in the back of his neck, and said nothing.
Zhuo Yingxian felt that the other party strangled him tightly, as if there was nowhere to vent all his strength, after a while, this extremely stiff body began to tremble slightly, and then there was a slight sobbing sound, which intensified and finally became suppressed cry.
Nie Yunhan cried very sadly, tears wet Zhuo Yingxian's back collar, although Zhuo Yingxian couldn't see his face, he knew that this was the saddest appearance he had ever seen since they met.
He felt Nie Yunhan's violent heartbeat, beating on his back one after another, like the beating of a drum, tears could not help winding out along with it.
Cry, let go, let the tears take away all these tortures, you have carried too much, and it will only hurt yourself if you press it in your heart.
Zhuo Yingxian didn't say a word, let Nie Yunhan cry until his crying gradually became quieter, then turned around and hugged him face to face, reaching out to pat his back lightly.
"Ah Xian..." Nie Yunhan pressed his forehead against Zhuo Yingxian's cheek, and said softly, "I..."
He wanted to say that everything was his fault, if he found out that Qin Luoyu was suspicious, even if Yu Shu hated him, he should make a decisive decision to keep this woman away from him; or knowing that there was Qin Luoyu beside Xiang Yushu , you should let this kid stay honest, instead of asking him to go out and pretend to perform some missions.
Taking a ten thousand step back, if Yu Shu hadn't been brought out from Tangzhou Mansion back then, maybe he was still busy working in the fields every day, waiting to be recruited, and the tragedy like today would not have happened!
It was his self-righteousness and indecision that hurt him!
But when the words came to his lips, Nie Yunhan couldn't speak again.
What is the use of hindsight Zhuge Liang?Knowing that Ah Xian loves him, saying such words will only make him think of various ways to enlighten and comfort him, which is too hypocritical.
Since it was his own fault, he deserved to be tormented by his conscience!
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Zhuo Ying asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
"It's nothing." Nie Yunhan cried slightly out of breath, with a nasal voice, and said hoarsely, "Fortunately, I have you by my side."
Zhuo Yingxian kissed him on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "Don't change the subject, I know you are blaming yourself for this matter. I don't want to say too much to persuade you, you will blame yourself no matter what , but I just want you to know that if you really take all the responsibility on your shoulders and bear all the pain, it will only make your loved ones suffer and enemies happy, and Yu Shu will not feel at ease in the underground."
Nie Yunhan: "..."
He choked and said, "Your comforting words are really special. It sounds like you're threatening me."
"You know everything, just figure it out for yourself." Zhuo Ying stroked his back in a hurry, "But don't be sad for so long, I will feel bad."
Nie Yunhan held Zhuo Yingxian's hand and kneaded it, thinking about it, he let out a long sigh after a while, and then sat up.
"What are you doing? Do you want to sleep for a while?" Seeing his haggard appearance, Zhuo Yingxian was really worried.
The rain was still falling outside the window, and the sky was still shrouded in large swaths of dark clouds. The groggy, usually very quiet Sunset River was also turbulent at this moment, and the boat kept rocking up and down gently, like everyone's unsettled hearts.
Nie Yunhan shook his head and said: "Can't sleep, it's a luxury to have a short breath just now, Yu Shu risked his life in exchange for the information he got back, we can't live up to it, we should discuss the next move as soon as possible."
As soon as he stepped out of the hatch, everyone immediately got up to respond, and Dang Shi went out to the main hall of the ship with Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian.
Everyone has a pair of red eyes, and their hearts are full of anger. This time they went to find Guan Pingye not only to prevent an assassination against the royal family, but also to avenge Xiang Yu Shu and return Guan Shan. clear name!
Red Anaconda and others are not very familiar with Guiliang Mansion and the surrounding terrain. Zuo Hengqiu also mainly researched the situation of Weilan Mountain Range in the mansion before, so everyone really doesn't know where this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is located.
Nie Yunhan asked Kong Tan for advice: "Brother Kong, have you heard of this Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
"I've heard that it's a big restaurant comparable to Wulingdu Guanque Tower, located in Huanke Town." Kong Tan told the steward who was on standby, "Go and get the map."
Since Kong Tan came to help this time, he was naturally prepared. He had all kinds of weapons, money, maps, etc., which can be said to be very appropriate.
Zhang Xiaowu interjected, "I've heard about Huanke Town. It's on the Wanren Commercial Road from the southwest to Gyeonggi. Although the town is small, it is a well-known hub, and its prosperity is no less than that of Wulingdu. , it seems that the Drunken Immortal Pavilion is also famous for this."
Zhuo Yingxian looked at Nie Yunhan: "They really didn't follow the Hongguang business way."
"That's right, Hirano is also on guard against me. The documents for the passage should have been drawn up long ago, and they decided to follow the Wanren business way from the very beginning." Nie Yunhan smiled wryly.
Wan Lifeng said: "Who would have thought that Guan Ye's son would become like this!"
She and Dai Yansheng didn't know Guan Pingye's fake Guan Shan trick yet, if they knew, they might be very angry.With the enemy at hand, Nie Yunhan didn't want to tell them such bad things.
The steward brought the map, and Kong Tan spread it out on the round table, and soon found Huanke Town and Wanren Commercial Road, which were located on the northeast side of Guiliang Mansion.
Zuo Hengqiu sneered: "Going north on Wanren Commercial Road is not as convenient as Hongguang Commercial Road, but the distance between checkpoints is longer, the total checkpoints are less, and there is still a section of roads that are sparsely populated. If you hurry up, it will be easier than taking Hongguang Commercial Road. Arriving in the capital early, they are really accurate."
Zhuo Yingxian snuggled up beside Nie Yunhan, staring at the distance between Guiliang Mansion and Huanke Town on the map: "Now it seems that it's not too far from here to the Zuixian Pavilion."
"Well, let's set off tonight, hurry up, and we should be able to catch up in the day after tomorrow." Nie Yunhan gestured at the map with his hand, "Song Mingchong knew that we escaped, so he will definitely notify Hirano immediately, and they will never delay on the way, and they must be sleepless They are on their way, but their carriage is not fast enough, if that is the case, we may be able to stop them here."
Everyone leaned over to look, and saw that he was referring to a place called "Qiluling" on the map.
Dai Yansheng glanced at it: "This barren mountain and wild ridge looks like a good place to risk your life."
"It would be a blessing if they could hold their convoy here without disturbing the people," Wan Lifeng said.
Nie Yunhan nodded: "Since Hirano dared to go all the way to the capital, he must be equipped with some sharp weapons to avoid being blocked on the way. This is the last part of his plan. He will never show mercy to us. I'm afraid of him. The firearms cover a wide area, and it would be bad if they hurt innocent people. Qilu Ridge is located in a remote area, and it is barely a suitable place for fighting. After we get there, we will observe the terrain and make plans."
Kong Tan looked at the map and agreed with Nie Yunhan's thoughts: "When is brother Nie planning to leave?"
"You all have 'wings', can you get there quickly?" Zhang Xiaowu interjected.
"'Wing' is not as useful as you think. We used to use it for short-distance travel or to detect the enemy's situation. Now it is not suitable for long-distance tracking. First, it is easy to be spotted by passing town guards. Second, long-distance flying is easy to get lost. It would be more practical to hurry up and whip the whip." Nie Yunhan said, "Brother Kong, naturally it is better to start as soon as possible. If possible, I plan to act in three hours."
Kong Tan nodded: "That's all right. If you come here, you will be safe. For the remaining three hours, you red boas should rest quickly and get a good night's sleep. Renting too many horses at one time is easy to attract attention. I went to rent a carriage, and after leaving the border of Guiliang Mansion, I will replace them all with horses. This time I brought twelve guards out, and now three of them followed Qingbi to Commander Han, and the other two stayed with the servants in charge. Stay on the boat together, and the remaining seven plus me will go with the six of you."
Nie Yunhan was surprised: "Brother Kong, just lend me a few guards, so you don't take risks with the past."
"You don't believe me?" Kong Tan smiled slightly.
Nie Yunhan quickly got up and bowed: "How dare you! Brother Kong's kung fu is superior to ours, I'm just afraid of hurting you."
"You and I are both members of the army. Protecting the safety of our home and country is a responsibility that can never be shirked on our shoulders. Although this matter seems to be a personal enmity, if Guan Pingye approached Gyeonggi with a murderous weapon, if he succeeds, we will not be able to escape." Knowing how many people and guards will suffer, how can I just sit idly by?!" Kong Tan said sincerely, "Brother Nie, for the sake of my helping you many times, just give me this chance! "
Nie Yunhan panicked and said: "This really hurts me! Family and country are the most important thing, and I will not refuse any more. It is an honor to be able to join forces with Lingyi this time!"
After the important matter was agreed, everyone returned to the cabin to rest and accumulate energy for the next day.
At the end of Xu Dynasty, when the heavy rain subsided, the big ship slowly docked. Several guards disembarked first and bought three carriages.
The moon was blocked by thick clouds, and a group of people set off quietly in the deep night.
---
Three days later, Wan Ren said in business.
The road is not wide enough to accommodate two carriages side by side. Lush trees grow on both sides, and the luxuriant branches and leaves meet on the road, blocking the scorching sun at noon and only sprinkling gold on the road.
A group of carriages rushed quickly under the shade of such trees.
The convoy consists of seven cars, the six cars in front are cargo carts, and each cart has two horses in parallel. There is a flag with the words "Longxing Caravan" printed on it, which looks like an ordinary caravan.
If you look carefully, you will be able to see that the eyes of the drivers are shining brightly, they are not ordinary trainers, but like trained soldiers.
The last one is an ordinary carriage, brand new, not like having experienced a long journey. It is spacious, tall and strong. There is a sliding plate on the roof that is pushed to one side, and a layer of mesh underneath is used for ventilation in hot weather. , if it catches up with the storm, the skateboard can be pushed back to seal the roof.Such a carriage is expensive to build, presumably the owner of the carriage is either rich or expensive, or he is willing to enjoy it.
At this moment, the curtain of the car window was lifted by a pale hand. The owner of the hand poked his head slightly outward, glanced at the scenery outside, and then gently lowered the curtain.
This person is Guan Hirano.
Besides him, there were three people sitting in the car, one was Meng Chuang, and the other two were Haqin and his subordinates.
Gao You and another person were driving outside, the horses were running fast, and the carriage was extremely bumpy, so no one spoke in the car, and it was a bit depressing.
Guan Pingye's face was like gold paper, very ugly, with one hand covering his stomach, it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore.
Haqin glanced at him disdainfully: "Is it interesting to hold on? How many times have you vomited along the way? When the war warriors will be controlled by Meng Chuang, why don't you go on the road with us?"
Guan Pingye pursed his lips tightly, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't even have the strength to reply. Meng Chuang saw that he was really uncomfortable, so he opened the curtain in front of the car and said to Gao You, "Stop the car and rest in place!"
Gao You nodded, then shouted forward, and the whole convoy stopped slowly.
Haqin said displeased: "A carriage is not as fast as riding a horse. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?!"
"It's just a short rest. Could it be that you can fly over?" Meng Chuang gave him a gloomy look, and said coldly, "You're so impatient, why don't you come to control the warriors? Hmph, you can't do anything. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?!"
Haqin's eyes were gloomy: "If we didn't pay for it, would you be able to accomplish this?"
"Is it important to be rich?" Meng Chuang was not afraid of him at all, "Without the sect master, what is the use of all the money you have?!"
"Stop arguing, it's meaningless to talk about it." Guan Pingye clutched his stomach, bowed his waist, and was about to get out of the car. Meng Chuang hurriedly followed to support him.
He vomited as soon as he got out of the car. He probably vomited out all the contents of his stomach. After rinsing his mouth, he walked around the road for a few laps before he felt the overwhelming nausea in his body lessen.
Meng Chuang didn't say much, just stood aside holding the knife and looked at him, frowning slightly.
Guan Pingye supported the tree with one hand, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked back at him: "You have been in a bad mood for the past few days, what's the matter?"
His voice was slightly hoarse because of the burning pain in his throat.
Ever since Nie Yunhan exposed the fake Guanshan, in the past few days, Guan Pingye has not even pretended to be warm and kind, and his whole body is like an evil knife out of its sheath, and like a poisonous snake , There is a sense of madness and cruelty in everything he says and does.
"It's nothing." Meng Chuang said calmly after a pause.
Guan Pingye smiled self-deprecatingly: "Do you think I am too harsh on Xiang Yushu? Or do you blame me for not telling you that my father is fake?"
These words were poking at Meng Chuang's heart, causing his face to move slightly. After hesitating again and again, he still said: "Gao You and I are both from the Jianghu, and we escaped from the den of thieves only after being rescued by the sect master. There are many ways to repay your favor, but because of Master Guan He is a real hero, that's why we cooperated with Haqin. A real man does things, he does what he does, Xiang Yushu is a loyal man after all, you don't need to kill him, but you just did that to him Ruthless, this is really... against the morals of the world."
"Why, do you think I don't miss old feelings and have no blood?" Guan Pingye showed a strange smile on his pale face, "What do I want these for? Can these avenge my father?"
"The father before was indeed a fake. I lied to you, but the feelings are strong enough only if you meet the real person, isn't it? In fact, my father is really dead. Isn't this more uncomfortable than his being alive?"
"You can accept the cooperation with Duyu people. You didn't say anything about killing Wangxing, so why do you have to gossip here because I killed a soldier? Don't you think it's hypocritical?"
Meng Chuang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "These things are completely different in nature, how can they be confused?"
Guan Pingye snorted: "I don't need to explain to you how I do things. If you don't like it, you can leave now. The warriors don't need you. I planned to control it myself!"
Several special guards evened out the horses, and gave up three to Nie Yunhan and others. Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng, Zhuo Yingxian and Yun Xuzi each took two horses. Nie Yunhan carried Xiang Yushu's body on his back and rode alone Zuo Hengqiu insisted on flying with his wings in the heavy rain.
A group of people rushed to Yangbo Port, but they didn't meet any pursuers on the way, and the port guards became loose due to the heavy rain. Zhang Xiaowu and Liu Yun rode together on the same horse, and led them to find Kong Tan's big ship quickly.
Kong Tan came out to meet him himself. Seeing this situation, after everyone got on the boat, he ordered the boat to sail, and ordered people to cook ginger soup and burn charcoal fire.

Nie Yunhan gently stroked Xiang Yushu's peaceful eyebrows, and said hoarsely: "Yu Shu, don't worry, we will definitely take you home."
Zhuo Yingxian recalled the scenes of getting along with Xiang Yushu, remembered how everyone forced him to dress up as a bookboy when they left Tangzhou Mansion, remembered the depressed look of a young man when Nie Yunhan snatched his chicken leg and forced it to him, remembered him and You Xiao The yearning appearance when I accompanied myself to the Guanque Tower to listen to the music, and when I and Nie Yunhan were trapped in the mine, the boy jumped into the blasted mine with a rope tied around his waist, and shouted at them, "Brother Han! Brother Xian" ! Where are you? I came down to save you"...
God is really unfair, what Xiang Yu Shu wanted was to have a home of his own, but before he had time to taste the joy of life, he was forced to bid farewell at this moment, like a ray of thin air against the morning sun.

In front of others, Nie Yunhan is the vice-captain of the red boa, no matter what, he has to persevere, but now there are only the two of them, Zhuo Yingxian has been thinking about how to comfort him, now Nie Yunhan made a request, Zhuo Yingxian Lie down next to him kindly.
Nie Yunhan hugged Zhuo Yingxian from behind, buried his face in the back of his neck, and said nothing.
Zhuo Yingxian felt that the other party strangled him tightly, as if there was nowhere to vent all his strength, after a while, this extremely stiff body began to tremble slightly, and then there was a slight sobbing sound, which intensified and finally became suppressed cry.
Nie Yunhan cried very sadly, tears wet Zhuo Yingxian's back collar, although Zhuo Yingxian couldn't see his face, he knew that this was the saddest appearance he had ever seen since they met.
He felt Nie Yunhan's violent heartbeat, beating on his back one after another, like the beating of a drum, tears could not help winding out along with it.
Cry, let go, let the tears take away all these tortures, you have carried too much, and it will only hurt yourself if you press it in your heart.
Zhuo Yingxian didn't say a word, let Nie Yunhan cry until his crying gradually became quieter, then turned around and hugged him face to face, reaching out to pat his back lightly.
"Ah Xian..." Nie Yunhan pressed his forehead against Zhuo Yingxian's cheek, and said softly, "I..."
He wanted to say that everything was his fault, if he found out that Qin Luoyu was suspicious, even if Yu Shu hated him, he should make a decisive decision to keep this woman away from him; or knowing that there was Qin Luoyu beside Xiang Yushu , you should let this kid stay honest, instead of asking him to go out and pretend to perform some missions.
Taking a ten thousand step back, if Yu Shu hadn't been brought out from Tangzhou Mansion back then, maybe he was still busy working in the fields every day, waiting to be recruited, and the tragedy like today would not have happened!
It was his self-righteousness and indecision that hurt him!
But when the words came to his lips, Nie Yunhan couldn't speak again.
What is the use of hindsight Zhuge Liang?Knowing that Ah Xian loves him, saying such words will only make him think of various ways to enlighten and comfort him, which is too hypocritical.
Since it was his own fault, he deserved to be tormented by his conscience!
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Zhuo Ying asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
"It's nothing." Nie Yunhan cried slightly out of breath, with a nasal voice, and said hoarsely, "Fortunately, I have you by my side."
Zhuo Yingxian kissed him on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "Don't change the subject, I know you are blaming yourself for this matter. I don't want to say too much to persuade you, you will blame yourself no matter what , but I just want you to know that if you really take all the responsibility on your shoulders and bear all the pain, it will only make your loved ones suffer and enemies happy, and Yu Shu will not feel at ease in the underground."
Nie Yunhan: "..."
He choked and said, "Your comforting words are really special. It sounds like you're threatening me."
"You know everything, just figure it out for yourself." Zhuo Ying stroked his back in a hurry, "But don't be sad for so long, I will feel bad."
Nie Yunhan held Zhuo Yingxian's hand and kneaded it, thinking about it, he let out a long sigh after a while, and then sat up.
"What are you doing? Do you want to sleep for a while?" Seeing his haggard appearance, Zhuo Yingxian was really worried.
The rain was still falling outside the window, and the sky was still shrouded in large swaths of dark clouds. The groggy, usually very quiet Sunset River was also turbulent at this moment, and the boat kept rocking up and down gently, like everyone's unsettled hearts.
Nie Yunhan shook his head and said: "Can't sleep, it's a luxury to have a short breath just now, Yu Shu risked his life in exchange for the information he got back, we can't live up to it, we should discuss the next move as soon as possible."
As soon as he stepped out of the hatch, everyone immediately got up to respond, and Dang Shi went out to the main hall of the ship with Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian.
Everyone has a pair of red eyes, and their hearts are full of anger. This time they went to find Guan Pingye not only to prevent an assassination against the royal family, but also to avenge Xiang Yu Shu and return Guan Shan. clear name!
Red Anaconda and others are not very familiar with Guiliang Mansion and the surrounding terrain. Zuo Hengqiu also mainly researched the situation of Weilan Mountain Range in the mansion before, so everyone really doesn't know where this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is located.
Nie Yunhan asked Kong Tan for advice: "Brother Kong, have you heard of this Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
"I've heard that it's a big restaurant comparable to Wulingdu Guanque Tower, located in Huanke Town." Kong Tan told the steward who was on standby, "Go and get the map."
Since Kong Tan came to help this time, he was naturally prepared. He had all kinds of weapons, money, maps, etc., which can be said to be very appropriate.
Zhang Xiaowu interjected, "I've heard about Huanke Town. It's on the Wanren Commercial Road from the southwest to Gyeonggi. Although the town is small, it is a well-known hub, and its prosperity is no less than that of Wulingdu. , it seems that the Drunken Immortal Pavilion is also famous for this."
Zhuo Yingxian looked at Nie Yunhan: "They really didn't follow the Hongguang business way."
"That's right, Hirano is also on guard against me. The documents for the passage should have been drawn up long ago, and they decided to follow the Wanren business way from the very beginning." Nie Yunhan smiled wryly.
Wan Lifeng said: "Who would have thought that Guan Ye's son would become like this!"
She and Dai Yansheng didn't know Guan Pingye's fake Guan Shan trick yet, if they knew, they might be very angry.With the enemy at hand, Nie Yunhan didn't want to tell them such bad things.
The steward brought the map, and Kong Tan spread it out on the round table, and soon found Huanke Town and Wanren Commercial Road, which were located on the northeast side of Guiliang Mansion.
Zuo Hengqiu sneered: "Going north on Wanren Commercial Road is not as convenient as Hongguang Commercial Road, but the distance between checkpoints is longer, the total checkpoints are less, and there is still a section of roads that are sparsely populated. If you hurry up, it will be easier than taking Hongguang Commercial Road. Arriving in the capital early, they are really accurate."
Zhuo Yingxian snuggled up beside Nie Yunhan, staring at the distance between Guiliang Mansion and Huanke Town on the map: "Now it seems that it's not too far from here to the Zuixian Pavilion."
"Well, let's set off tonight, hurry up, and we should be able to catch up in the day after tomorrow." Nie Yunhan gestured at the map with his hand, "Song Mingchong knew that we escaped, so he will definitely notify Hirano immediately, and they will never delay on the way, and they must be sleepless They are on their way, but their carriage is not fast enough, if that is the case, we may be able to stop them here."
Everyone leaned over to look, and saw that he was referring to a place called "Qiluling" on the map.
Dai Yansheng glanced at it: "This barren mountain and wild ridge looks like a good place to risk your life."
"It would be a blessing if they could hold their convoy here without disturbing the people," Wan Lifeng said.
Nie Yunhan nodded: "Since Hirano dared to go all the way to the capital, he must be equipped with some sharp weapons to avoid being blocked on the way. This is the last part of his plan. He will never show mercy to us. I'm afraid of him. The firearms cover a wide area, and it would be bad if they hurt innocent people. Qilu Ridge is located in a remote area, and it is barely a suitable place for fighting. After we get there, we will observe the terrain and make plans."
Kong Tan looked at the map and agreed with Nie Yunhan's thoughts: "When is brother Nie planning to leave?"
"You all have 'wings', can you get there quickly?" Zhang Xiaowu interjected.
"'Wing' is not as useful as you think. We used to use it for short-distance travel or to detect the enemy's situation. Now it is not suitable for long-distance tracking. First, it is easy to be spotted by passing town guards. Second, long-distance flying is easy to get lost. It would be more practical to hurry up and whip the whip." Nie Yunhan said, "Brother Kong, naturally it is better to start as soon as possible. If possible, I plan to act in three hours."
Kong Tan nodded: "That's all right. If you come here, you will be safe. For the remaining three hours, you red boas should rest quickly and get a good night's sleep. Renting too many horses at one time is easy to attract attention. I went to rent a carriage, and after leaving the border of Guiliang Mansion, I will replace them all with horses. This time I brought twelve guards out, and now three of them followed Qingbi to Commander Han, and the other two stayed with the servants in charge. Stay on the boat together, and the remaining seven plus me will go with the six of you."
Nie Yunhan was surprised: "Brother Kong, just lend me a few guards, so you don't take risks with the past."
"You don't believe me?" Kong Tan smiled slightly.
Nie Yunhan quickly got up and bowed: "How dare you! Brother Kong's kung fu is superior to ours, I'm just afraid of hurting you."
"You and I are both members of the army. Protecting the safety of our home and country is a responsibility that can never be shirked on our shoulders. Although this matter seems to be a personal enmity, if Guan Pingye approached Gyeonggi with a murderous weapon, if he succeeds, we will not be able to escape." Knowing how many people and guards will suffer, how can I just sit idly by?!" Kong Tan said sincerely, "Brother Nie, for the sake of my helping you many times, just give me this chance! "
Nie Yunhan panicked and said: "This really hurts me! Family and country are the most important thing, and I will not refuse any more. It is an honor to be able to join forces with Lingyi this time!"
After the important matter was agreed, everyone returned to the cabin to rest and accumulate energy for the next day.
At the end of Xu Dynasty, when the heavy rain subsided, the big ship slowly docked. Several guards disembarked first and bought three carriages.
The moon was blocked by thick clouds, and a group of people set off quietly in the deep night.
---
Three days later, Wan Ren said in business.
The road is not wide enough to accommodate two carriages side by side. Lush trees grow on both sides, and the luxuriant branches and leaves meet on the road, blocking the scorching sun at noon and only sprinkling gold on the road.
A group of carriages rushed quickly under the shade of such trees.
The convoy consists of seven cars, the six cars in front are cargo carts, and each cart has two horses in parallel. There is a flag with the words "Longxing Caravan" printed on it, which looks like an ordinary caravan.
If you look carefully, you will be able to see that the eyes of the drivers are shining brightly, they are not ordinary trainers, but like trained soldiers.
The last one is an ordinary carriage, brand new, not like having experienced a long journey. It is spacious, tall and strong. There is a sliding plate on the roof that is pushed to one side, and a layer of mesh underneath is used for ventilation in hot weather. , if it catches up with the storm, the skateboard can be pushed back to seal the roof.Such a carriage is expensive to build, presumably the owner of the carriage is either rich or expensive, or he is willing to enjoy it.
At this moment, the curtain of the car window was lifted by a pale hand. The owner of the hand poked his head slightly outward, glanced at the scenery outside, and then gently lowered the curtain.
This person is Guan Hirano.
Besides him, there were three people sitting in the car, one was Meng Chuang, and the other two were Haqin and his subordinates.
Gao You and another person were driving outside, the horses were running fast, and the carriage was extremely bumpy, so no one spoke in the car, and it was a bit depressing.
Guan Pingye's face was like gold paper, very ugly, with one hand covering his stomach, it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore.
Haqin glanced at him disdainfully: "Is it interesting to hold on? How many times have you vomited along the way? When the war warriors will be controlled by Meng Chuang, why don't you go on the road with us?"
Guan Pingye pursed his lips tightly, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't even have the strength to reply. Meng Chuang saw that he was really uncomfortable, so he opened the curtain in front of the car and said to Gao You, "Stop the car and rest in place!"
Gao You nodded, then shouted forward, and the whole convoy stopped slowly.
Haqin said displeased: "A carriage is not as fast as riding a horse. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?!"
"It's just a short rest. Could it be that you can fly over?" Meng Chuang gave him a gloomy look, and said coldly, "You're so impatient, why don't you come to control the warriors? Hmph, you can't do anything. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks here?!"
Haqin's eyes were gloomy: "If we didn't pay for it, would you be able to accomplish this?"
"Is it important to be rich?" Meng Chuang was not afraid of him at all, "Without the sect master, what is the use of all the money you have?!"
"Stop arguing, it's meaningless to talk about it." Guan Pingye clutched his stomach, bowed his waist, and was about to get out of the car. Meng Chuang hurriedly followed to support him.
He vomited as soon as he got out of the car. He probably vomited out all the contents of his stomach. After rinsing his mouth, he walked around the road for a few laps before he felt the overwhelming nausea in his body lessen.
Meng Chuang didn't say much, just stood aside holding the knife and looked at him, frowning slightly.
Guan Pingye supported the tree with one hand, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked back at him: "You have been in a bad mood for the past few days, what's the matter?"
His voice was slightly hoarse because of the burning pain in his throat.
Ever since Nie Yunhan exposed the fake Guanshan, in the past few days, Guan Pingye has not even pretended to be warm and kind, and his whole body is like an evil knife out of its sheath, and like a poisonous snake , There is a sense of madness and cruelty in everything he says and does.
"It's nothing." Meng Chuang said calmly after a pause.
Guan Pingye smiled self-deprecatingly: "Do you think I am too harsh on Xiang Yushu? Or do you blame me for not telling you that my father is fake?"
These words were poking at Meng Chuang's heart, causing his face to move slightly. After hesitating again and again, he still said: "Gao You and I are both from the Jianghu, and we escaped from the den of thieves only after being rescued by the sect master. There are many ways to repay your favor, but because of Master Guan He is a real hero, that's why we cooperated with Haqin. A real man does things, he does what he does, Xiang Yushu is a loyal man after all, you don't need to kill him, but you just did that to him Ruthless, this is really... against the morals of the world."
"Why, do you think I don't miss old feelings and have no blood?" Guan Pingye showed a strange smile on his pale face, "What do I want these for? Can these avenge my father?"
"The father before was indeed a fake. I lied to you, but the feelings are strong enough only if you meet the real person, isn't it? In fact, my father is really dead. Isn't this more uncomfortable than his being alive?"
"You can accept the cooperation with Duyu people. You didn't say anything about killing Wangxing, so why do you have to gossip here because I killed a soldier? Don't you think it's hypocritical?"
Meng Chuang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "These things are completely different in nature, how can they be confused?"
Guan Pingye snorted: "I don't need to explain to you how I do things. If you don't like it, you can leave now. The warriors don't need you. I planned to control it myself!"
