Chapter 21: Autumn Leaves in the Valley (Part II)
"Looking at her appearance, she seems to be very worried and anxious," Gu Qiuyi continued, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as a child's family causing trouble." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Are we going to stay and help them?" Ling'er asked.
Tianming looked up at the signboard of the clothing store, which was written with five big characters "Lu's clothing store". "Miss Lu entertained us so warmly just now, and told us about this shop and her mother, she clearly regarded us as friends," Tianming said, "Friends have something, of course we have to lend a hand to help friends, not to mention that so many adults have teamed up to bully a child, how can I stand by and watch!"
"Okay, then let's catch up with Miss Lu first." Gu Qiu nodded.
"Miss Lu should have gone to find her uncle," Ling'er speculated, "but I'm afraid she's gone away at the moment, where should we go to find her?"
"Ask your neighbors about it." Gu Qiuyi said and walked to an umbrella shop next to him.
*******************************************************************************************************************
The mountains are full of red leaves, and the forests are dyed. The sunset turned redder, reflecting the gurgling water in the valley as soft, like a slight flush on a girl's cheeks.
Autumn has not yet arrived, but in the secluded forest of this valley, the trees are covered with red leaves all year round, hence the name "Autumn Leaf Valley".
On a mountain rock by the stream, Deng Zhongqi held a green steel sword in his hand, held it flat in front of his chest, and a pair of handsome eyes were staring at the sword, as well as the sparkling waves in front of him. A sword trick was drawn out, and the green steel sword in his hand swung around with his body, drawing several sword flowers, one move and one style, closely linked like flowing water, sometimes sinking like a mountain, sometimes breaking like a storm, this set of swordsmanship danced down, his face was not the slightest tired, and even the atmosphere did not take a breath.
"Zheng" sounded, Deng Zhongqi pointed with the tip of his sword, and saw a girl in yellow running towards him from the direction of Gukou.
"Oh no, Brother Zhong Qi," the girl in yellow shouted, "Feng'er, something happened to him!"
"What!" As soon as Deng Zhongqi heard this, he immediately jumped down from the top of the big rock, stopped the girl in yellow, and asked in a deep voice, "Song Song, take a breath and tell me what happened?"
The girl in yellow was already tired and out of breath, and it seemed that she didn't know martial arts at all, and as soon as she heard the news of the accident with the child of the Shibo family, she immediately rushed to report it. "Brother Zhong Qi, someone ...... Someone saw Feng'er, and he was given by a group of people who looked like martial arts people...... Take him away, we have to find a way to save him!" Due to the long-distance running, the girl in yellow was physically exhausted, and she was in a hurry to say it without waiting for her breath to ease.
"Martial arts people...... It seems that their purpose is not necessarily only Xiang Feng, I am afraid it is to ......" Deng Zhongqi said, "Let's go and tell Uncle Xiang first, tell him to be careful of the old man, since that group of people arrested Xiang Feng is likely to have some scheme, they will not do anything to him for the time being, we must have a way to rescue him." ā
"Okay." The girl in yellow nodded. Together, the two ran towards a stone house deep in the valley.
ā¦ā¦
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the stone house, at this moment, suddenly a black shadow swept in the air from behind the two of them, and landed in front of Deng Zhongqi and the girl in yellow.
"Song Song retreat, I'll ......" Deng Zhongqi stepped forward first, but before the green steel sword could be unsheathed, the black-robed man had already made a lightning move, holding down Deng Zhongqi's sword hilt with one hand, and hitting his acupoint with the other.
"Zhong ......" As soon as the girl in yellow called out the first word, she was also hit by the black-robed man, and her body collapsed softly.
The black-robed man hugged the two of them with both hands, and came to the back of the stone house with a rise and fall, and the weight of the three people together fell silently, which shows that he is a top master, otherwise he would not have restrained Deng Zhongqi with one move, and he didn't even give him the opportunity to draw his sword out of the sheath. The black-robed man gently put down Deng Zhongqi and the girl in yellow, let them lean side by side in the corner of the wall behind the stone house, and left, without saying a word, no one knew what his purpose was.
Deng Zhongqi and the girl in yellow were pointed at the acupoints, and they could neither move nor make a sound, so they could only listen quietly to the movements in the house.
There was more than one person in the room talking!
I only heard one person say: "Mrs. Xiang, you have lived in seclusion here all these years to enjoy Qingfu, and you really envy others, but we have been looking for it a few times." ā
Deng Zhongqi felt a pang in his heart, it turned out that someone had already found this place first, could it be Uncle Xiang's enemy? Could it be that the black-robed man just now is also ...... But immediately Deng Zhongqi denied this conjecture again, if the black-robed man was really their comrade, then it seemed that he couldn't make sense to put himself and Song Song in the acupoints here. But if the black-robed man was not a member of the "guest" in the house, what was he doing this for? Similarly, the girl in yellow beside her was also confused and uneasy, and the two had to continue listening.
Inside the compartment was a study with three people seated on a round stone table. Although one of them is nearly sixty years old, he is still as strong as he was back then. The man sitting on the left, over fifty years old, in a crimson robe, with a double wedge hanging from his waist, a calm and sophisticated face, and two protruding temples. Sitting on the right was a man about thirty years old, carrying a long sword, and wearing a white face and green clothes. Behind the stone table were two bookcases with a few volumes of paper on them, and some knick-knacks carved from wood and stone, and as for what was carved, the two men would never have the chance to see the real thing in their lifetime anyway.
I only heard the master of the stone room sigh softly, and said to the two: "I haven't been a Taifu for almost twenty years, and I can't imagine that anyone still remembers." ā
"Over the years that Mrs. Xiang has been in hiding, His Majesty the Emperor has been very concerned, and he always mentions you in front of the Prime Minister!" The man on the left continued, "Your Excellency has sent us to look for it many times, and it turns out that Mrs. Xiang is unofficial and light, but he is here to receive blessings. Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are ready to stir up, trying to stir up trouble and threaten the rule of our Great Qin Empire, Taifu, since you have enjoyed the blessings of Qingfu for so many years, it seems that you should also come back to share your worries. ā
