134. Chapter VIII
In ancient times, the prisoner cart used by prisoners for execution and escort can be said to be first-class torture.
This torture was not only because of the bumps on the hardwood plank, not only because of the deep exposure of the heavy wind and cold, but also because the prisoner car had nothing to hide, and the haggard and depressed appearance of the people was looked at all the way, the civilians pointed and pointed, and even the beggars stroked each other.
The masters of the six major factions are arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and they only feel that they can't die of hatred, so as not to suffer this humiliation.
The Emei faction was tied to four prisoner carts, each with two Mongol soldiers with barbed horsewhips.
Exterminator Tai and Zhou Zhiruo were in a prisoner car, their expressions were calm, but there was a hint of anger, even if they were poisoned by the ten incense soft tendons, she also tried her best to straighten her spine, which appeased the Emei disciples. Compared with those so-called male masters who are paralyzed and babbling, the exterminator is much more backbone.
"Zhiruo," the exterminator said suddenly, "what do you have to do with that court witch?" ”
As soon as she spoke out, Zhou Zhiruo was shocked, and several other senior sisters in the prisoner car also came over, Ding Minjun was gloating, and the other senior sisters were all confused and worried.
"Master, five years ago, we came to Dadu to steal ・・・・・・ to take the Heavenly Sword, and the Mongolian nobleman who was held hostage by our disciples was her. Before going to the top of the light, the disciple also had a conflict with her, that is, the reason why the disciple was injured, and then the goodbye was when she said the name of a righteous gang indiscriminately, but at that time she was dressed as a man, and the disciple did not recognize it. Zhou Zhiruo hid a few things, and only picked up the one that the exterminator knew too well.
"What's the matter with the white jade fan? She said you gave it to her? "The expression of extinction is strict.
"When the disciple kidnapped her out of the house, she was just a child at the time, and in order to prevent her from crying, the disciple happened to get a white jade fan from a Mongolian boy who had taught her, so he used this to coax her, just hoping to get out of trouble with the senior sisters as soon as possible." Zhou Zhiruo lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.
"Hmph, you have a pure and good nature, but this demon girl will not dare to move when she sees blood, so why not use a fan to coax?" Extinction is not too entangled in Zhao Min's issue, and it is also thought of it, a court lord, a decent genius disciple of the rivers and lakes, and there are few intersections, where will there be any twists and turns?
Ding Minjun seemed to want to open his mouth to say that Zhou Zhiruo, who he saw that day, was worried about Zhao Min, but after thinking about it, Zhao Min was just a woman, could there be any love between them? So he put up with it and said nothing.
Extinction glanced at everyone in Emei in the prison car, and then said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Then what is your relationship with the Demon Sect's Sect Advocate Wuji?" ”
Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said: "Master, that Zhang Wuji is actually the son of Wudang Zhang Wuxia, when he was cold and poisonous, Zhang Zhenren took him to find a way to cure the disease, and saved me and my father when passing by Hanshui, the disciple was Zhang Wuji who met at that time, and later Zhang Zhenren recommended the disciple to Emei, and the disciple has always been grateful・・・・・・
"That's why you're kind to that Zhang Wuji's subordinate?" Extinction snorted coldly, others can't see it, her martial arts are superb, and she is on the field, and Yang Xiao doesn't feel that she is fighting for life and death, and when she and Yang Xiao are both poisonous, she doesn't have any strength, so she naturally pays attention to the juniors, Zhou Zhiruo pretended that her wrist was hit but she couldn't hide it, but that Zhang Wuji was also tolerant of Zhiruo, and Extinction remembered Ji Xiaofu's death, and his eyes became extremely cold in an instant.
"The disciple couldn't beat that Zhang Wuji, and he had to take care of the prestige of his own sect, so he had to make this decision, I didn't expect him to expose the disciple and sweep Emei's face." If Zhou Zhi meant that he was showing the enemy a weak strategy, he had to do so for the sake of Emei's prestige.
Extinction is still a little unbelieving, but I am afraid that the encounter when I was a child made my little apprentice bury the seed of love, when I saw that the little brother of the year was personable, martial arts and powerful hands, which woman in the world has the reason not to be moved? But she didn't say much, she just buried it deep at this time, there are many people here, and there are some things that are difficult to say, but the exterminator has already begun to think about it in his heart.
The group walked unhurriedly for several days, but they did not see a single reinforcement, and they arrived in Dadu calmly.
When I came back to Dadu, I was no longer the woman who was free and easy in the army, but an authentic prisoner, who made me so wolf, or the person he had been caught three or two times, and the person who had been treated sincerely, the world is impermanent, nothing more than that.
The six major factions were imprisoned in Wan'an Temple even with Mingjiao, and listening to Zhao Min's faint voice, she actually wanted to use these people as bait to lure out all the chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, destroy them one by one, and finally behead these martial arts backbones together.
At this time, Zhao Min was still able to be so calm, and he didn't know whether he was confident or conceited.
According to the original book, Zhang Wuji rescued everyone, but now Zhang Wuji himself is also in prison, who else can save himself?
Knowing that they were already waiting for death at this time, the feelings of everyone in Emei were sluggish, there were many of them, and they were divided into two cells, and the environment was still extremely poor. The exterminator didn't care about life and death, she actually started a hunger strike, and the food sent by the Mongolian soldiers was not touched, and she didn't move Emei, and the people naturally refused to move, but the extermination was a reprimand: "I have been cruel all my life, and I am the same to others and myself, all because I am the head of Emei, and the head of the house is to defend you disciples, do you want to starve to death with me?" Isn't it too much of a failure for me as the head of the house? ”
She made up her mind to defend Emei's style by herself, failed to kill Yang Xiao, and fell into the hands of the imperial court, these two things are a great shame for the exterminator, she is naturally unwilling to steal her life, but there is still one in ten thousand hope in the heart of extinction, if Zhou Zhiruo can escape, then she will die without regrets, it is because she urges Zhou Zhiruo to dine is extremely diligent.
Zhou Zhiruo eats with tears every time, and it tastes the same as chewing wax. The burden of the head of Emei is still borne by the master, and Zhou Zhiruo sees his responsibility.
After two or three days like this, the people around him stopped persuading the extinction to eat, and the respect for the extinction suddenly increased countless times.
Yesterday a senior sister was taken out, but in a moment she was thrown in again, she was in another cell, but she still told the extermination master what she had seen and heard.
When the exterminator heard that Zhao Min actually let the six major sects compete one by one, he could leave after winning three games, and if he lost, he would chop off a finger, so he couldn't help but scold Zhao Min, but the female disciple of Emei didn't chop his finger after he lost, and Zhao Min let her go.
The female disciple of Emei only secretly rejoiced by herself, and the idea of exterminating the master here turned a few times, and suddenly patted her thigh and said: "By the way, this demon girl wants to steal the martial arts of our people in the rivers and lakes, and there are people all over the world in the rivers and lakes, even if she can capture this time, it is only a symptom but not a cure, but if she knows everything about the kung fu of every sect, our martial arts have no secret in her eyes, who can still defeat the Mongols in this world?" ”
The exterminator was too angry, and immediately asked all the Emei disciples to divide the corpses with a knife, and they couldn't use the martial arts of the Emei faction.
The exterminator has not eaten or sold for several days at this time, and her own long internal breath is not a major event of life or death, but at this moment, her internal breath is sealed, her face is pale, and she has a state of being about to be **.
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked, regardless of the rudeness, and took the pulse of the exterminator.
"No need, I don't have a few days left." The exterminator's voice was as low as a mosquito, and Zhou Zhiruo knew that she was unwilling to expose her weakness and make the Emei disciples mess up, so she held back her tears, and her fingers trembled slightly.
"Zhiruo, you are the most talented child I have ever seen, and the future is limitless, limitless." The exterminator was too empty-eyed, "I was hit by that Yang Xiao's palm, and I have already broken several important meridians, and I can't heal my injuries in the past few days, and I am already powerless to return to the sky at this time." ”
Zhou Zhiruo bit her lower lip tightly, she could only keep shaking her head, and tears poured out all of a sudden.
"Don't cry, what do you want to cry and cry about!" The exterminator shouted too lowly, and Zhou Zhiruo was shocked all of a sudden.
At this moment, someone's footsteps came, Zhou Zhiruo didn't think much about it, rushed directly to the front, and beckoned vigorously: "Someone, help." ”
The exterminator's eyes widened, as if she wanted to say, "You can't ask the Mongolian Tatars for help," but the injury in her chest caused her to cough violently.
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were hazy with tears, but she saw a glittering woman coming, she was beautiful and luxurious, and it was Zhao Min who was there in person.
"Zhao Min! Zhao Min! Zhou Zhiruo's heart was shocked, and she couldn't care about her original resentment against her, so she said to her: "Please save my master!" Please・・・・・・"
Zhao Min saw that her face was pale, like a sick willow supporting the wind, her body was weak, and she had lost a lot of weight, and when she saw her pear blossoms and rain, her face was full of pleading, and her heart couldn't help but soften a little, she didn't have a white jade fan anymore, but what she was holding in her hand at the moment was the Yitian Sword.
"Since Sister Zhou is so pleading, of course I have to agree・・・・・・ Sister Zhou has a deep relationship with the master and apprentice, it is really touching, you are a master and a high apprentice, it is rumored that you have learned most of the essence of Emei, yes or no?" Zhao Min asked.
Zhou Zhiruo reluctantly said: "Emei's swordsmanship is broad and profound, what I have learned is not very good, if I can get one-twelfth of the true inheritance of Emei, how can I be trapped here?" ”
At this time, he didn't forget to stab himself, Zhao Min's eyes narrowed, and said: "Our rules here, as long as you can win against the three of me here, I will send you out properly, if you win, I will not only send you out, I will also treat your master, how about it?" ”
"Zhiruo, don't promise her." But it was the exterminator who was too strong and shouted in a hoarse voice.
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, tears remained on her cheeks, quite sad.
"If you say no, you can't compare, what are you and me?" Zhao Min leaned on the Heavenly Sword and pointed at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Come on, take Zhou Zhiruo out." ”
Zhou Zhiruo was confused, she only felt that there was a noise in her ears, she was like a cloud, and after she didn't see any movement for a long time, she slowly came back to her senses. At that moment, she really saw a mouthful of blood in her throat.
"Sister Zhou, my time is precious, but I'm not in a daze with you." Zhao Min took the Heavenly Sword and Shi Shiran went down.
This is actually a wide platform, surrounded by some masters of the rivers and lakes, and there are some Yuan soldiers in the distance, there is a lot of blood left on this platform, I think it was contaminated when the masters of the six major factions were cut off their fingers.
"If you want to kill, you will kill, I even thought of begging you, but I also suffered from madness." Zhou Zhiruo was indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, but full of self-deprecation, "Although the martial arts of the Emei faction are not the best in the world, they can't be learned from you despicable people." ”
Zhao Min's playful expression was solemn, and he immediately came back again: "Sister Zhou is really tough." I think that when you Emei sent me to steal my heirloom Yitian Sword, how could you not think of the word despicable? ”
"We're just taking back the sword of my Emei faction, the Yitian Sword has always been a thing of the Central Plains, when did it become the heirloom of your Mongolian Shaomin County Lord? He is really a shameless person who speaks out. ”
Zhao Min's face sank, and he couldn't refute it, and said, "It seems that you are determined not to compete." Others don't compete, I chop off one of his fingers, you," she came to Zhou Zhiruo's side and exhaled like an orchid, "Zhou Zhiruo's flower and moon appearance are so proud." Okay, if you don't compete, I'll cut seventeen or eighteen knives on your face, just like Master Toutuo over there・・・・・・ and you don't need any subtle tricks, just two or three times, your face will become a hornet's nest. ”
If Zhou Zhi was patient, her silver teeth almost broke her lower lip.
This man laughed and scolded, seemingly affectionate, but in fact ruthless, maybe he was friends with you one moment, and the next moment he was about to add his sword.
"Are you afraid?" Zhao Min didn't get a response, and immediately took two steps back, "Okay, if you don't speak, I'll do it." ”
Zhou Zhiruo doesn't care about her appearance like in the original book, isn't it good if she is disfigured sometimes? There is a lot less to worry about foreign affairs.
Zhao Min held the Heavenly Sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was only a finger's distance from Zhou Zhiruo, and with just a gentle hand, Zhou Zhiruo would become an ugly monster.
It's just that the person is not afraid, looking directly at Zhao Min, his eyes are resolute, there seems to be a large nebula hidden in it, and it seems to be clear and clear, warm and moist.
Zhao Min was stunned, and he couldn't do it.
"Do you really ・・・・・・ not care?" Zhao Min seemed to be talking to himself.
Zhou Zhiruo's face was a little disdainful, "Zhao Min is also a mother-in-law?" Not to mention scratching on this dough, even if it is like poking it in my heart, I will not have a cry of pain. ”
Zhao Min was furious, "Then I will fulfill you!" With the power in her hand, the Heavenly Sword stabbed straight out.
Suddenly, a thing flew to separate the Heavenly Sword diagonally, but the Heavenly Sword was so sharp that the thing was directly cut in half.
Zhou Zhiruo raised her eyes violently and saw that it was Zhang Wuji.
He has already cured himself on the road, Jiuyang is really the top practice in the rivers and lakes, he has secretly poisoned the people of the Ming Sect in the past few days, and took advantage of Zhao Min to knock out the guards in the gap between the entanglement of the Emei faction and secretly escaped, originally they wanted to make plans after escaping, but they didn't want to bump into this scene, Zhang Wuji saw that Zhao Min really handed the sword out, and couldn't help but be shocked, picked up a thing and threw it out.
Zhang Wuji jumped out, only to see Zhao Min staring blankly at the thing that had been cut in half.
It was a white jade fan.
Zhao Min suddenly laughed: "Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji, do you have affection for Zhou Zhiruo, or do you have love for me, the white jade fan I threw on the top of the light has been searched for a few times, and it turns out that it was privately hidden by you, the sect leader." ”
Zhang Wuji's face turned red, and he was speechless for a while.
Zhou Zhiruo saw that the white jade fan had been cut into two pieces, and it was difficult to recover.
"Miss Zhao, I, how about I return this fan to you after I restore it?" He actually said such a sentence in the middle of the night.
Zhao Min smiled like a flower again, "No, how can I, Min Min Temur, accept something that is already second-hand?" No matter how well it is repaired, it is not my white jade fan. ”
Zhang Wuji was speechless, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's wrist, and was about to take her away, Zhao Min was furious: "Sect Master Zhang, you have the ability to solve this ten-spice soft tendon scatter, I won't stop you if you go, but Zhou Zhiruo is my honored guest, you want to take her away for no reason, don't you take me in your eyes?" ”
"Miss Zhao, it's really not a hospitable way for you to imprison Miss Zhou here・・・・・・
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden uproar, and someone shouted: "Wan'an Temple is on fire!" ”
Several people were shocked, Zhang Wuji hurriedly picked up Zhou Zhiruo and flew out, Zhao Min shouted: "Stay!" The people from the surrounding rivers and lakes came around, and they were all repelled by the Mingjiao people, but the Yuan soldiers were all missing at this time, and even the two elders of Xuan Ming were gone.
Zhao Min secretly said in his heart that he was not good, he didn't know what had happened, and hurriedly chased after Zhang Wuji and his party.
This place is not far from Wan'an Temple, Zhang Wuji saw that the Yuan Corps surrounded Wan'an Temple, someone arranged dry firewood and nitrate petroleum wine underneath, a torch was thrown up, and the fire was ignited.
