Chapter 1: The End of the Road
"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”
The scorching sun, the scorching heat of summer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a carriage implicated by four fierce horses, which was galloping at a rapid speed in a canyon. Less than a hundred meters behind, they were closely followed by a group of horses dressed in black and armed with large knives. The horse team chased fiercely, but everyone's face was covered with a black cloth, so that people could not see their faces clearly.
"Boss Ge, hurry, hurry!"
In the carriage, a man with a panicked face and looked behind him from time to time shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes!" Elder Ge was the coachman, and he was also sweating anxiously at this time, and when he heard the constant urging in the carriage, he responded while waving the horsewhip in his hand vigorously.
There were three people sitting in the carriage, two men and one woman. One of the men was seriously injured, lying in the woman's arms with a pale face, and the wound was bleeding continuously.
"Also... How long will it take to get to Fenglan County? The injured man asked weakly.
"I can already see the city walls, it's almost there!" The woman replied with a crying voice, choked up. The woman is very delicate and lovely, dressed in plain clothes, and her age is only twenty-five years old. And the lower abdomen seems to be slightly raised, which should be pregnant.
The injured man tried to get up from his seat, but was unable to get up because of the pain of the wound on his body. Panting heavily, he said to the panicked man: "Tang Jun, protect your sister-in-law, if anything happens, remember to take your sister-in-law out first." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, lie down quickly, we will be in Fenglan County soon." The panicked man turned out to be Tang Jun. Looking at the injured man, he shook his head as if he was saying goodbye to his entrusting him to his deathbed.
"Ahem, this is our ancestral token, and this group of people must have come for it. And this ring, you take it, I'm afraid that in the future, the burden of the Tang Mansion will be entrusted to you! The injured man coughed violently twice, and then took out a jade pendant from his neck that looked a little broken, the surface of the jade pendant should be a flower pattern, but it was too broken, what kind of flower, I don't know. Tremblingly, he took off a ring inlaid with red gems from his finger and instructed Tang Jun.
"Big brother, stop talking, let's talk to the ancestor when I go back. I can't take this thing. Tang Jun shook his head and refused with a blue face. He knew that this was the eldest brother who was afraid that he would not be able to go back alive, and he was entrusting himself.
"Xianggong, listen to the second brother, don't talk, you'll be safe soon." The more the woman listened, the more sad she became, and she reached out to cover the injured man's lips with tears streaming down her eyes, signaling not to let him talk any more.
And just as the three people in the carriage were talking, one side of the carriage suddenly broke away from the road in the canyon, and was thrown out directly with flying stones. Immediately afterwards, I listened to Boss Ge outside the car, shouting for help. In a hurry, Boss Ge flew and kicked away the carriage at the other end of the carriage, and the four fierce horses were pulled by the strength of the carriage and howled, and at the same time, their front hooves were in the air, and they kicked back backwards, pulling back the carriage that was about to fall down the mountain.
"Step, step, step......!"
The four fiery horses also seemed to feel the threat of death, and before they had time to catch their breath, they galloped again. After a while, they ran out of the canyon and came to a flat road.
"Whew!" Boss Ge let out a long breath, the thrilling scene just now was the most immersive he had experienced outside.
At the same time, the horse team chasing behind the carriage actually stopped a hundred meters away. The leader raised an arm to signal that the person behind him should not chase after him.
"Big brother, why don't you chase it?" A similarly dressed gruff voice asked from behind.
"When you get to the main road, it's easier to get to Fenglan County. Forget it, I'm afraid we'll be exposed. The leader of the man in black said.
"Then forget it, I'm afraid the Tang family won't come out alone from now on, right?" The person behind him asked unwillingly.
"Hehe, haha, hahaha, second brother, didn't you see that Tang Ying's kid was injured?" The man in black who led the way suddenly sneered, and then laughed. Don't wait for the reaction of the people behind you. As he spoke, the man in black who led the leader actually ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a face that looked middle-aged, but with white temples, and said to himself coldly: "Tang Ying, Tang Ying." The Tang family will have no one in charge in the future, I see what you are going to do to fight with me. ”
It turned out that the injured man was called Tang Ying, and Tang Jun screamed as a big brother, looking like two brothers.
The carriage followed the road until noon before entering the city of Fenglan County, only to see the huge city gate people coming and going, busy with traffic, very happy. The city gate is a semi-arc arch, and there is also a stone plaque inlaid on the door, which is carved with four big characters "Fenglan County City", and each word is at least about two feet in size, which looks unusually majestic and awe-inspiring. The city wall is more than three zhang high, and from below, it looks like rows of stone mountains, tall and solid.
The carriage that finally escaped and chased and killed had successfully entered Fenglan County at this time. However, the carriage, which was originally very ornate, is now in a mess and dilapidated. Boss Ge was also covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed.
"Patriarch, we're safe!" Entering the city, Boss Ge shouted into the carriage as soon as he spoke. It seems to be reporting safety to the people in the carriage behind him, but it is better to report peace of mind to himself.
And just when Boss Ge thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, an eager shout suddenly came from inside the carriage, "Go back to the house, big brother is dying." ”
Hearing the shouting in the carriage, Boss Ge was not allowed to react, and with a "driving" sound, he began to run wildly on the road again.
Tang Ying, who was injured in the carriage, was suddenly in a hurry because the carriage almost fell off the cliff before, and because of the bumps in the road. At this time, he coughed and vomited blood from his mouth. The woman wiped Tang Ying with tears in her eyes. Tang Jun anxiously held Tang Ying's body to avoid any more bumps. However, at this time, Tang Jun's eyes were slightly red.
"Sister-in-law. What's going on, with the eldest brother's kung fu, how could a few knife wounds be so serious? Tang Jun asked anxiously at the woman.
"Xianggong...... Xianggong is poisoned! The woman wiped her tears and choked up.
"What, poisoning?" Tang Jun exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, as if he had thought of something again, and lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, what should I do then?" ”
"Call the coachman quickly, now I have to go back to my hometown to invite my ancestors!" The woman also had no choice, and said in a somewhat helpless tone.
"Boss Ge, hurry up!" After hearing this, Tang Jun began to urge Boss Ge to come again.
"Fenglan County" is located in the coastal area east of the Wuyao Empire, because it covers a wide area, has a large population, is rich in products, and is a border city within the dividing line of the Wurong Mountains in the west and the Phoenix Ridge in the south, so it is known as the "capital county" of the empire.
To the south of Fenghuangling is another large empire, so Fenglan County also plays an important role in border trade, material circulation and exchange, and military diplomacy. In the Wuyao Empire, this city also has a pivotal position. Among them, the trade of goods can be called the largest city in the empire in China, and the annual national tax payment accounts for a quarter of the country. During the wars of the Wuyao Empire for several generations, the city was not ceded out, which shows the importance of Fenglan County's status in the Wuyao Empire.
And the reason why it is called Fenglan County has to start with a legend. However, according to the older generation, more than eighty percent of this legend has happened in real life, and many people have witnessed it at first. So what exactly is this legend?
