Wait a minute, heroine

"drive--"

Hoof-tapping hoof-tapping...

The moonlight shines on the Gobi Desert, and the charcoal-red horse gallops at full speed, raising a line of smoke behind it.

Ye Jingtang held the reins in his hands and scanned the large valley in the distance between the mountains, feeling a bit like he was in another world.

I remember that the last time I passed by Wangheya was in the early spring of last year. At that time, I had just returned from Shazhou after sending the escort. I brought some goods from Shazhou with me, followed by Liuzi and other escorts. The journey was very uneventful, without any changes, and he had already After getting used to the little life of being a bodyguard, I even began to fantasize about meeting a heroic lady in distress on the road one day, taking her home and rescuing her like a heroic lady, and then getting married or something like that.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he brought his team back to Honghe Town, he heard the news that his adoptive father died drunk at the wine table. He ran back to the escort office, and all he saw was the old knife placed on the soul table, and The bad old man is already lying in the coffin.

And his life completely changed at that moment, from a wild boy in Liangzhou who was disciplined by his parents, to an unaccompanied prodigal in a border town.

When he left Honghe Town in compliance with his will, he thought he would never come back, and he didn't know how long he could survive in a world where people cannibalize people. He even fantasized about what he would do if he died in a foreign land one day.

But he never expected that the Jianghu outside was so good. Compared with the heroes in Liangzhou, the Jianghu people outside were simply pure and good. There were real knights and knights.

Then, without realizing it, he reached where he is today, with many confidantes around him, and he also tried most of the moves on the Heroine's Tears.

At this time, I walked back to the ancient road of Liangxi and recalled the road of Jianghu for more than a year...

More than a year...

When Ye Jingtang thought about this, he suddenly felt that there were indeed a lot of things done from last year to this year.

If this continues, I'm afraid the new house Sanniang bought will be unlivable. It seems that she will have to restrain herself in the future...

Hoof-tapping hoof-tapping...

The charcoal-red horse galloped at full speed, and within a moment it entered the vast valley between the towering mountains.

Hua Qingzhi sat sideways on the back, holding the belt of Ye Jingtang with both hands. After a bumpy day, she was already a little tired. She leaned her head on her back and closed her eyes. On her legs, she squatted with Niao Niao, who had already begun to fall asleep. .

Finding that the speed began to slow down, Hua Qingzhi opened her eyes, looked forward, saw the town in the center of the river valley, and asked:

"Where have you been?"

"Wangheya, after crossing the river valley is Shazhou."

"So fast?"

"Yes, otherwise why would it be called a divine horse..."

The charcoal-red horse sitting on the Ye Jing Hall is the mount of Yu Hu. It has amazing leg power. It entered the pass from Liaoyuan in the morning, crossed the Gobi Desert in Liangzhou, and reached the foot of Hongshan Mountain by nightfall. If the weather hadn't been too hot, the Ye Jing Hall would have been afraid of it. If the horse is injured by running, it can actually be faster.

Hongshan is the end of Liangzhou. Because the high mountains and dangerous peaks separate the two states, it is impossible for ordinary people to cross. The ancient river channel of Wangheya has become the lifeline of the two states. If you don’t go here, you have to go around to the Duolan Valley in the West Sea. For this reason, even in the scorching summer, there are still many caravans coming and going from here.

In summer, the Gobi Desert is too hot, and it is difficult for caravans to travel during the day. Therefore, they rest during the day and set out under the stars and moon at night. At this time in the valley, many teams can be seen coming out of the town, heading to Shazhou in the west or returning to Liangzhou. .

Hua Qingzhi sat behind and followed the familiar Ye Jingtang into the town. It can be seen that the small town in this remote place is quite lively. Not only can you see Yao Sisters soliciting customers on the street, but you can also hear music in the tea shop and inn. To the storyteller’s sonorous and powerful tone:

"...Ye Daxia was not afraid in the slightest. He stood up with his gun drawn at the foot of Tianzhu Peak, showing that one man was in control and no one could escape! This battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the people who were killed were in darkness and blood. Chenghe. After the first battle, guess what?"

"The King of Hell killed over ten thousand enemies at night and was not injured at all?"

"It's not like he was unscathed. After the battle, Ye Daxia was bitten by a dog."

"ah?!"

"What the hell?!"

"Don't believe it, this dog is not an ordinary dog. According to legend, in ancient times, Lang Rong, the ancestor of the Wuma tribe, accidentally encountered a divine wolf while hunting on the grassland..."

…

? ?

Ye Jingtang stopped his horse and turned to look at the inn where he was telling about his glorious achievements, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Hua Qingzhi, who was behind her, had obviously also heard this outrageous story. She was afraid that Ye Jingtang would kill him again, so she tugged on his clothes:

"Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, don't be like them..."

Ye Jingtang didn't mean to go in to ask for an explanation. After all, the world is like this. The most widely circulated stories are never the peak battles, but the scandals and romances of the major masters.

To this day, there is still a "story that Qiu Tianhe and Baifa Di had to tell" circulating in the world. The story about you chasing me and escaping, and having a love affair in prison is just like the truth. If you really care about it, you will probably bore yourself to death.

After listening to a few sentences, Ye Jingtang found that he didn't hear much, so he continued to move forward and came to a larger inn. He helped Hua Qingzhi down and looked at the middle-aged man sitting outside the stable:

"Zhang Mouse, are you still alive?"

"Hey?!"

The middle-aged man sitting under the pergola drinking tea was secretly observing the origins of the two men with extraordinary temperament. Suddenly, he heard the young swordsman in charge call him a nickname. He was obviously stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly He stood up and ran forward diligently:

"This man looks familiar, may I ask?"

Ye Jingtang returned to his hometown and met an acquaintance. He was in a good mood and responded casually:

"Five years ago, I was passing by here as a escort. The goods were seized by your boss, and I gave him a lot of money before releasing them. Have you forgotten what you told me at that time?"

"five years ago……"

Wangheya was originally the territory of Jianghu, and there were too many things that were done to withhold goods and extort money. Zhang Mouzi's eyes were obviously a little confused.

However, after carefully observing Ye Jingtang's face and seeing the white-haired Snow Eagle, he suddenly remembered that five years ago in the summer, there was a pretty little kid with a white eagle as a pet, and they had a quarrel. I drew my knife to chop him, but was dragged away by the bodyguard...

I remember that the little kid was from the Honghe Escort Agency in the north. Although the Honghe Escort Agency is closed now, it can be said that no one knows about it in the current Liangzhou world.

After all, there is a big shot in there, with a long list of names. His full title is probably--Sword and Spear Master, Young Master of Honghua Tower, Commander of Three Thousand Eagle Dogs of Black Yamen, Prince Wu'an personally named by the Emperor, the current Empress or Prince Jing. The concubine, the number one person in the world of Liangzhou, the brave man who swept across the Wei Dynasty alone, the Wolf King who single-handedly penetrated the Northern Dynasties, the youngest martial saint in the contemporary era, the new master of the tribes in the West Sea...

Referred to as the Night King of Hell.

Thump~

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Hua Qingzhi was standing behind him with a smile. However, the next moment she saw the middle-aged man who had been quite warm just now, his knees softened and he knelt straight in front of him.

Hua Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, obviously at a loss.

Ye Jingtang was not surprised by this. He lowered his head and looked at the middle-aged man who had already begun to reminisce about his life in the world:

"I remembered?"

Zhang Mouzi had already recognized the Prince of Hell, whom he had socialized with, from his handsome face. In his heart, he felt that he would probably never see the sun tomorrow. However, driven by his strong desire to survive, he still responded with an awkward expression:

"You are such a powerful person, why do you go out in person? Well... I was blind back then..."

Since Ye Jingtang opened his mouth to say hello, he had no intention of arguing with a little rogue and threw the reins to Zhang Mouse:

"Your boss is currently working in a kiln to repay the debts he incurred back then. By the way, you used to be a small church master. How come you are so depressed that you come here to watch the horses?"

The boss of Zhang Mozi is naturally the former leader of Wangheya Village, Golden Snake Dart Zheng Kun, the same hero who extorted a huge sum of twenty taels of silver from Ye Jingtang back then.

Zheng Kun received an order last year and went to Beijing with Jiang Zahu's brother Shi Yanfeng to assassinate Liu Qiansheng. Unfortunately, he encountered an accident and was ambushed by Zhongsunjin's nephew Zhongsunyan with a thunderbolt.

After the First World War, Shi Yanfeng was directly killed on the spot, while Zheng Kun was captured by Ye Jingtang and imprisoned in the black prison dungeon. He was tortured by Shang Jianli all night without uttering a single word. He was considered a tough guy.

Later, Jiang Zahu helped Ye Jingtang deal with King Zuo Xian in Duolan Valley and handed over the Golden Scale Map, which was regarded as a great contribution. Zheng Kun also saved his life for this and was transferred to the prison and sentenced to three years. Illegal gains can be regarded as being given a lighter sentence.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang refused to kill him, Zhang Moazi was so relieved that his whole body almost softened. He quickly got up and caught the reins:

"Oh, it's a long story. Ever since Boss Zheng was arrested...no, he must have been punished, life has been difficult for the brothers below. The younger one wanted to leave his job and set up his own business, but the new village leader refused, and then he came here. Already..."

Ye Jingtang looked up at the flags of the inn and found that they were only the flags of the Hongshan Gang. He couldn't tell which one belonged to the Eighteenth Village, so he asked:

"Who is in charge of Wangheya now?"

Zhang Mozi said respectfully:

"After Boss Zheng left, Wangheya was taken over by Wupoling. The current boss is..."

"Yaksha Zou Manzi?"

When Zhang Moazi heard that someone dared to call the village leader by his nickname, he shrank his neck in shock and quickly raised his hand to stop him. However, I found that the face of the King of Hell in front of me also changed slightly, and his eyes turned into surprise:

"Even with your status in the world, are you afraid of my village leader?"

"Uh... The title of Master Zou can stop children from crying at night in Liangzhou. Who wouldn't be afraid of it?"

Ye Jingtang did not explain too much, but changed the subject and asked:

"In the past two days, have you seen a convoy of more than thirty people returning from Wangheya? The guards are all experts, and they brought three carriages with them."

Zhang Moazi thought about it carefully: "I went there more than half a month ago and haven't come back yet. However, the escort who came back today said that he met such a convoy on the road and should arrive tomorrow morning at the latest."

Ye Jingtang estimated that the team was not far from Wangheya, so he immediately asked Niaoniao to fly over first to find the location, and he took Hua Qingzhi into the inn door.

Hua Qingzhi had difficulty with her legs and feet, so she walked slowly. When she went up the stairs, she had to hold on to Ye Jingtang's arm. After walking upstairs, she curiously asked:

"Who is the leader of Zou Village? This is the first time I have seen a person who immediately turned pale when he heard his name..."

Ye Jingtang was a little embarrassed, so he thought about it and explained:

"When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I followed my adoptive father as a escort for the first time. I met a group of people on the Gobi Desert, and the leader of them was Master Zou Dazhai. I was still young at the time, and I saw a woman whose arms were bigger than my legs. He even took two frost-shaped axes, so he took a second look out of curiosity.

"In the end, I didn't think about it. I immediately saw what was going on. Without saying a word, the other party gave my adoptive father fifty taels of silver and wanted to buy me. However, my adoptive father refused to sell me and was ready to rob the man directly. Fortunately, I Run fast or else..."

Hua Qingzhi looked at Ye Jingtang's lingering fear and felt a little funny:

"Master Ye, has this happened to you before?"

"I have had red lips and white teeth since I was a child, and I am considered a well-known handsome young man from all over the country. There are too many people who have ideas about me. Since I was twelve or thirteen years old, people have come to my door to talk about matchmaking..."

Hua Qingzhi didn't doubt this. After all, with Ye Jingtang's appearance, he could make a fool of himself wherever he went. She thought about it and asked:

"Then why is it that the young master's confidante is not a native of Liangzhou?"

"Is this...all the good-looking ladies in Liangzhou live in the county town, and you can't see any of the boys from the city here. The girls I can see are all...well..."

Hua Qingzhi looked out of the corner of her eye at the shrewish woman who was drinking and fisting in the hotel lobby, as well as the man with big arms thicker than her waist. She finally understood the reason, and then said:

"I didn't expect Mr. Ye to judge people by their appearance. If you like Mr. Ye's heroine, who is fair-skinned, beautiful and graceful, just like Xue Baijin, will Mr. Ye stop running away?"

Ye Jingtang thought this was all nonsense. He was thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, a time of restless adolescence, when he suddenly met a big, white, and unparalleled plump elder sister like Bing Tuo Tuo, who wanted to take him home to have sex. My husband, if he can escape, I'm afraid there's something wrong with his brain.

But nodding directly would be like a pervert, so Ye Jingtang just said:

"I was still young, how could I understand this? Just walk into the house."

Hua Qingzhi Ruoyouruowu snorted, obviously not believing it, but she didn't tease him anymore and followed him into the room.

Wangheya was originally a town built by a copycat to collect tolls. The living environment is not very good. The rooms are full of old tables, chairs and wooden beds. The walls are yellow and black, and you can even see some on the windows and tables. There are traces of swords and no one knows what happened.

Hua Qingzhi came to the table and sat down, raised her hand and touched the knife marks on the edge of the table, then looked around the whole room, feeling a little guilty:

"Mr. Ye, no one has died in this room, right?"

Ye Jingtang put the saber and bamboo hat on the table and lit the candlestick. When Hua Qingzhi asked, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he observed the marks on the table and wall. After a moment, he shook his head and said:

"Not dead yet."

"Huh?" Hua Qingzhi looked confused.

Since Ye Jingtang had nothing to do, he turned the table and explained to Hua Qingzhi:

"The table was set up like this. The tenant was sitting with his back to the window. The killer first fired a hidden arrow from the window. The tenant noticed and ducked away, leaving an arrow hole on the table. Then the killer broke the window and entered, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand... In the end, the killer was stabbed through the abdomen and nailed to the wall..."

Ye Jingtang squatted down next to the window and pointed to the black marks at the base of the wall:

"This is a blood stain that has not been wiped clean. The incident should have occurred years ago. Judging from the height, the stomach was injured but he was not killed on the spot. He must have been carried out before death. Don't worry."

"Well……"

Hua Qingzhi blinked her eyes. Because Ye Jingtang's speech was very emotional and she personally demonstrated the positions and movements of both sides of the fight, she felt as if she was immersed in the scene. She imagined the situation at that time and her face was filled with tears. White:

"How about... how about we change rooms?"

Ye Jingtang came to the side and sat down, shook his head and said:

"This inn has been here for decades, and there is no place where blood has not been seen. Some rooms are relatively clean and tidy because they are seriously damaged, or the corpses stink. The smell cannot be removed and must be renovated. This room is not tidy because it is not clean. If a person dies in a house, there is no taboo, and gangs don’t have to waste money.”

"..."

Hua Qingzhi is just a frail young lady. She has been following Ye Jingtang for so long. Although she has seen a lot of dead people, her courage has obviously not grown up. She found that many people must have died in this inn, and her hands were curled up to her chest:

"Then... let's change to an inn?"

"It's the same everywhere."

Ye Jingtang knew that Hua Qingzhi was afraid, so he comforted her: "I, the King of Hell, are here, so you can still be afraid of the little devil. Just rest assured. I'll get you some hot water..."

When Hua Qingzhi saw that Ye Jingtang was about to go out, she wouldn't dare to stay alone in this hellish place, so she quickly pulled his sleeves:

"Just ask the waiter to bring it up. You...you've been running around all day, so just take a good rest here."

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled. He went to the door and greeted the waiter, then motioned to the bed:

"Don't worry, just rest. I'll just meditate here."

Hua Qingzhi felt embarrassed to sleep on the bed with Ye Jingtang sitting there, but she couldn't sit still and couldn't let Ye Jingtang sleep together. She could only nod softly and sat in front of the bed.

Dong dong dong~

Soon, Zhang Mozi ran out of the door with two buckets of water.

Ye Jingtang took the water, closed the door, came to the bed, and poured the water into the basin.

Hua Qingzhi took off the hairpin and after washing her face, she wanted to pour the water into the footbath herself, but Luzhu was not in front of her, so it was obviously inconvenient.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang squatted down in front of the bed, poured water into the foot basin, then held his ankles and took off the embroidered shoes.

Hua Qingzhi was stunned and quickly wanted to retreat:

"Young Master Ye, how is this possible? You are from a man's family..."

Ye Jingtang pulled down his socks and his white, traceless feet immediately arched:

"I'm just taking it off for you, not washing it for you. Don't move around."

Hua Qingzhi's face turned red, but Ye Jingtang was very strong, so there was nothing she could do. After taking off her socks, she quickly put her feet into the water, and then raised her hand to help Ye Jingtang:

"Get up quickly."

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled, stood up, and started to wash himself...

——

On the other side, west of the river valley.

The team of more than 30 people marched on the ancient river and ran continuously in the desert for half a month. From the team leader She Long to the policemen below, they were basically a little tired.

Being protected in the carriage in the center, the Queen Mother leaned listlessly on the small couch, holding a small box in her hand, her eyes aggrieved and lost, and she was still muttering softly:

"How could it be possible? It is clearly written in the book that Crescent Bay is surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, and you can see little beasts coming to drink water everywhere. It is like a fairyland on earth..."

Dongfang Liren wandered around in the desert and ate sand for half a month. His original pride was also worn away. He was exhausted and leaned beside him, flipping through "The Secret History of Queen Marietta" which was regarded as the lifeblood of his mother.

What the Empress Dowager is saying now is the last chapter of "The Secret History of Queen Marietta". The plot is roughly as follows - after the Crown Prince and the Empress Dowager Yan experienced many hardships, they lived in seclusion in Crescent Bay for the rest of their lives, which was a happy ending.

Because it is the finale, most of the words in the last chapter are used to describe how beautiful the environment of Crescent Bay is, and how romantic the scene of a man and a widow relying on each other by the lake is; Dongfang Liren accompanying the Queen Mother to run to Crescent Bay is actually also mentioned in the book Captivated by the scenery written about.

As a result, a group of them looked for guides to lead the way. After walking in the desert for several days, they finally found the so-called "Crescent Bay". They found that it was just a small lake in the desert, surrounded by a Populus euphratica forest. Stayed for less than half an hour.

Feeling deceived, the Queen Mother's faith collapsed on the spot. She originally wanted to catch a small beast mentioned in the book as a pet, but in the end she could only hold a box of sand as a souvenir. She was obviously unwilling to do so.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was depressed, Dongfang Liren closed the book and advised:

"What is written in the book is hundreds of years old. Now times have changed, and it is normal that the sea of ​​flowers has disappeared."

"Shui'er said last time that she had been there a few years ago and the scenery was particularly beautiful..."

Dongfang Liren shook his head and sighed: "Master's words are never very accurate. She also said that she had seen a ten-foot-long fish in the sea. How could there be such a big fish in the world? Besides, Master is not completely lying. The scenery of Crescent Bay is indeed good, but it’s just different from the one in the book..."

The Queen Mother sighed quietly, still unable to think about it, and stared blankly at the yellow sofa in the box.

Dongfang Liren had no choice but to look back from the car window.

Sanniang and Ning'er went out to play together on this trip, but Ning'er obviously didn't expect that she would come to work as an ascetic. She was obviously tired at this time, and she was lying in the carriage behind with her head uncovered. Sanniang was also among them, chatting quietly. Talk in private.

On the way back, Dongfang Liren heard the news about the gathering of various tribes in the West Sea. He knew that Ye Jingtang must have finished his work and came back. The return trip was as fast as an arrow's return.

Although it was still far away from Honghe Town and it would take three to five days to arrive, Dongfang Lixin had already drifted to Ye Jingtang. He felt that Sanniang and Ning'er were probably talking about how to reward Ye Jingtang, so they I want to go there and participate behind my mother's back.

But as soon as Dongfang Liren stepped out of the carriage, he noticed She Long and others in front of him, looking up at the top of the river valley:

"Eh? Is there a big bird there?"

"Yes, it looks a bit familiar..."

…

Dongfang Liren was stunned. He stood on the carriage and squinted at the sky. Sure enough, he saw a familiar white cannonball falling from the sky. He was still less than half a mile away when he heard:

"Chi chi chi..."

As the familiar voice sounded, the entire team felt alive.

The Empress Dowager, who was not feeling down just now, turned over and leaned out of the car window to look out; Sanniang and Ning'er also opened the curtains, their eyes full of surprises and surprises.

When Dongfang Liren saw Fat Concubine coming, he knew that Ye Jingtang must be nearby. He immediately jumped up and landed on the horse next to him, and galloped towards the birds, waving in the distance:

"The Night Terror Hall is in front?"

"Chiji..."

The bird originally thought it was going to fly far, so it finished its errands as soon as it went out. It was also very happy, and landed on Dongfang Liren's saddle. It raised its wings and pointed towards the river valley, and then began to look left and right to see if there was any uneaten roast. hump.

It was obviously impossible for Dongfang Liren to carry hump meat with him, so he just touched the bird to comfort him, and then followed the guidance and ran towards the small town in the valley.

The Queen Mother and others behind were also very anxious, but like Prince Jing, they rushed forward regardless of hearing the name of their lover, which was obviously a bit embarrassing.

For this reason, the Queen Mother just urged:

"She Long, hurry up and ask everyone to follow."

She Long felt that Prince Jing and his lover were reunited, and he probably didn't want them to be troublesome people following him, but he couldn't disobey the Queen Mother's will, so he still waved to the team to speed up...
