Section 17 Escape from the mountains
What people are afraid of is often not the thing itself, but the unknown behind the thing. Like death, is death scary? It's not necessarily scary, but no one really understands the secret behind death, so it seems scary, in fact, people are afraid of what they fantasize.
Han Luan is a frank and true man, and he has no intention of embarrassing Shangguan Yue's people, but if Yang Xian and the others are still within the scope of Dingzhou, he will definitely not give up the idea of chasing and killing them, so after Shangguan Yue and the others left the camp, they secretly sent people to follow Shangguan Yue.
Yang Xian and a few people came to the foot of Dingzhou, but they didn't dare to go in, first, the city gate was strictly searched, and second, this place was already within Han Luan's sphere of influence, so they had to be on guard everywhere. But fortunately, Lu Yu and Zhao Nian were with them at this time, so after they discussed, Lu Yu and Zhao Nian went into the city to find out the whereabouts of Shangguan Que and others, and then went out of the city to reunite.
In fact, Lu Yu fled thousands of miles this time, and he was forced to do so. Xue Lengfeng, Lu Qingsong and Qin Xiaotian were in the Valley of Forgotten Worries for a few days, and when they saw that they couldn't wait for Lu Yu, they thought that Daddy Zhao was deliberately deceiving, so they were very angry, and arrested Daddy Zhao and Zhao Nian, and tortured them to extract confessions, Qin Xiaotian scolded: "Old thing! Tell me quickly! Where exactly is Lu Yu? Looking for Long Jue is not hidden by you! ”
But Daddy Zhao just didn't say it, in fact, there was nothing to say, Lu Yu picked the splendid grass recorded in the book, the splendid grass only grows in the deep mountains, and it is extremely rare, which has a great effect on healing injuries and diseases. This walk, I don't realize that it will take many days to walk into the mountains. Qin Xiaotian was furious, and with a few whips, Father Zhao died on the ground.
"I know you know Duan Shuai! Hehe, look you're going to die, did he come back to save you? It's better to tell me Lu Yu's whereabouts, and I will ensure that you can enjoy your old age in this valley. Qin Xiaotian said again. At this time, Father Zhao realized, frowned and said, "You... You guys! You guys were going to deal with Duan Shaoxia! Let me tell you, don't be stupid and dream, Duan Shaoxia and I have a favor, don't want to get any news from me! ”
Qin Xiaotian grinned, gritted his teeth and slapped Father Zhao. On this day, Qin Xiaotian whipped Daddy Zhao too tired, so he went to the hot spring in the valley to take a bath, Daddy Zhao was already scarred at this time, but he still had a breath, seeing his little grandson being tied aside with hunger, he really couldn't bear it, while Qin Xiaotian went out, Daddy Zhao gritted his teeth and moved to Zhao Nian's side.
After he pushed Zhao Nian awake, he bit the thorn grass vine that trapped Zhao Nian with his mouth, the thorn grass vine was full of thorns, and he saw that Daddy Zhao's face was full of blood, and the thorns on the vines blurred the flesh and blood of Daddy Zhao's face, Zhao Nian cried and wanted to push his grandfather away, but he couldn't exert his strength.
After a while, Zhao Nian was finally unraveled, but at this time, Zhao Nian no longer recognized this bloody and scarred grandfather. Although Zhao Nian is only six years old, he has been through the wind and frost and is already very sensible. With tears streaming down his face, he pulled away the thorny grass that was tied to his grandfather, and it was also the blood of his hand, and the two limped towards the valley of forgetfulness.
But as soon as he ran to the gate of the valley, he chased Lu Qingsong behind him, Lu Qingsong had wind under his feet, one step was as fast as one step, and he was about to catch up, so he sped up his pace, and after running out of the valley, he didn't know where to go, so he ran all the way along the path, and when he reached the slope, he didn't know that Xue Lengfeng jumped out of front at this time.
Xue Lengfeng slapped him head-on and knocked Daddy Zhao to the ground, Daddy Zhao knew that he couldn't live today, so he pounced with all his strength and hugged Xue Lengfeng's thigh, Xue Lengfeng couldn't shake it off, so he had to hit Daddy Zhao's back with his elbow, Daddy Zhao's mouth was bloody, and shouted: "Nian'er, run!" Zhao Nian also wanted to go up and fight, but was kicked away by Daddy Zhao.
Zhao Nian knew that his grandfather was trying to save him, so he cried and ran towards the mountain, Xue Yu saw that the child had run away, he was anxious, and slapped Daddy Zhao's Tianling Gai, Daddy Zhao was killed on the spot, but his hand was still firmly buckled on Xue Lengfeng's thigh, and he couldn't break it, until Lu Qingsong came and cut off Daddy Zhao's hands with a sword, which rescued Xue Lengfeng, and then kicked Daddy Zhao's corpse off the cliff.
Poor Daddy Zhao was eager to protect his grandson, so he gave his life. Coincidentally, Zhao Nian ran deep into the mountain, and did not look back, and when he ran, he saw a woman in white not far away, and at this time he was almost out of strength, the woman in white gradually walked towards him, Zhao Nian fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Yu, crying and rushing into Lu Yu's arms.
Lu Yu was also taken aback, and was startled when he saw Zhao Nian's scarred appearance, and asked, "Nian'er, what's wrong?" What about Grandpa? Zhao Nian cried for a long time before poking his head out and saying, "Grandpa is about to be killed!" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, the herbs in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and tears flowed down his eyes.
Zhao Nian continued: "There are three bad people who said that they were your friends who came to look for you, and they couldn't find you for a few days, so they tied up grandpa and me, and beat me up, grandpa entangled with them in order to save me!" There was another whining sound. Lu Yu hugged Zhao Nian in his arms, Zhao Nian wiped away the tears on his face, and said, "Sister, let's go and save grandpa!" ”
Saying that, the two rushed back, Zhao Nian rushed ahead, Lu Yu followed, just got there, and saw the scene of Lu Qingsong slashing Zhao's father with a knife, and the knife went down, and the flesh and blood flew suddenly, fortunately Zhao Nian was small, and he didn't see it, Lu Yu held back his cry and hugged Zhao Nian and lay down, covered Zhao Nian's mouth, and then rolled into the dead leaves piled up on the side.
The two hid for a long time, Lu Yu's tears had already dried up, Zhao Nian pushed Lu Yu and asked in a low voice: "Sister, sister!" What's wrong? Lu Yu suddenly burst into tears again, and then wiped his tears and said, "Let's go, Nian'er, grandpa has escaped, let's escape quickly!" ”
When Zhao Nian heard that his grandfather had escaped, he was hurriedly happy, and he didn't care about Lu Yu's crying face, and said with a smile: "Then let's go quickly!" Lu Yu's eyes were full of tears, he couldn't say a word, and nodded desperately. Where could Xue Lengfeng and the others let them go, searching for Zhao Nian's whereabouts in the mountains everywhere, and really let them find traces.
So he chased and killed all the way, fortunately, Lu Yu had some experience in the rivers and lakes, and after thousands of miles, Xue Lengfeng and a few people were stunned that they didn't catch them, and as soon as they arrived at the foot of Dingzhou, they met Yang Xian and a few people. But she also knew that Xue Lengfeng must be nearby, so she didn't dare to be too public. That night, Lu Yu was holding Xiao Nian'er and coaxing him to sleep, but he unconsciously remembered the events of that day again, and his heart was sour.
In fact, the most painful thing is Lu Yu, she saw her father kill the grandfather of the child in her arms, and on one side is her father and on the other hand is her beloved Xiao Nian'er, which makes Lu Yu where to go. Lu Yu couldn't understand why her father chased her to the Valley of Forgotten Worries, why she wanted to kill Zhao Nian's grandson, no matter what, she would never let her father find Xiao Nian'er.
At this time, she seems to have grown up a lot and has a bit of responsibility, but what she wants to see most now is Duan Shuai, without Duan Shuai's protection, she is like a duckweed, floating in the wind, she wants to snuggle in Duan Shuai's arms and sleep peacefully, just like Zhao Nian in her arms.
The next day, they entered the city as planned, Lu Yu and Zhao Nian had a look, Lu Yu pretended to be a farmer, his face was covered with black ash, and Xiao Zhao Nian was the same, and the two of them just mixed in. Soon after entering the city, I saw notices posted everywhere to arrest Yang Xian and others, and it turned out that Yang Xian still couldn't escape the fate of being arrested.
After they found a house and settled down, they began to look around for the whereabouts of Shangguan Que and others, but it was very difficult to find them because they were not masked. On this day, Shangguan Que ran into Han Luan's military tent, still to discuss the pursuit and killing of Yang Xian, but as soon as he entered, he saw Qin Xiaotian and Lu Qingsong, who had been injured by himself, sitting in Han Luan's military tent, and several people seemed to be talking happily and drinking.
As soon as Shangguan Que came in, Han Luan immediately got up, smiled and grabbed Shangguan Que's hand, and was about to introduce, Shangguan Que broke free, and angrily said to Lu Qingsong: "You? Why are you here? Lu Qingsong saw that it was Shangguan Que and immediately became vigilant, and slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand below. Han Luan also felt strange when he saw that they knew each other, so he said to Lu Qingsong and the others: "This is my handsome, just like my father, these two are... ”
"No need to be introduced, we are old acquaintances!" Shangguan Que said coldly. At this time, Qin Xiaotian, who was puzzled on the side, asked, "Oh? We have been in the Western Regions, how did this general know us? Lu Qingsong also sneered and said, "Old acquaintance!" ”
Shangguan Que flicked his sleeves and said to Han Luan: "You! How do you mess with them? Do you know who they are? Han Luan was a little confused and explained: "Enshuai, I competed with them two days ago, and they are all first-class masters in the rivers and lakes!" I was lucky enough to get acquainted, what a joy in life! They also promised to serve me and capture Chang'an! ”
