Chapter 12: The Steward and the Youth
Under the scorching sun, a carriage was speeding forward in the desert. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The driver was an old man with a goatee. Inside the carriage was a pale young man under twenty years old.
Two horses dragged a cart at a gallop, and there were only two people on it, the old and the young, which was obviously not a normal situation.
"Steward Li, how long will it take for us to escape from the desert?"
Although the inside of the carriage was much cooler than the outside, the young man was still sweating. He didn't seem to be able to endure this kind of suffering, and sat there without the slightest image, panting heavily.
"Don't worry, young master, there are less than five days to go, and we will be able to get out of the desert and enter the Central Plains. And until then, we can also contact one of the master's servants. ”
The old man with the goatee is Steward Li, who is actually a member of the Blood God Sect.
More than a decade ago, he followed his boss and infiltrated the territory of the Western Desert Holy Fire Cult, lurking as a merchant in a place called Quicksand City.
Among the four major divine cults, the Blood God Sect and the Holy Fire Sect have always had an unclear relationship, and the two sides are quite incompatible.
One of them is in the Central Plains and the other is in the Western Desert, but they have never stopped fighting.
Steward Li was sent to Quicksand City as shadows, specially used to collect and spy on intelligence.
And just a while ago, because Yang Wei's dart game was wiped out, the news that Yang Chong, the son of the Yang family, went deep into the desert was released, many martial arts people in the Central Plains entered the desert one after another to seek "The Palm of the Sun".
Many people actually went into the depths of the desert, and some of them went to Quicksand City.
Coincidentally, among these people, one of them actually recognized Steward Li's boss, who is his current master.
That person seemed to have a deep hatred for him, but because he didn't dare to offend the Blood God Sect, he went incognito, ran to other places, and lived at the bottom of the rivers and lakes.
But in Quicksand City, this is the territory of the Holy Fire Sect, so naturally there is no need to worry about the Blood God Sect, so that person found the city lord of Quicksand City and told the news that there are people from the Blood God Sect lurking in the city.
The city lord of Quicksand City was naturally a member of the Holy Fire Sect, and after he confirmed that the news was true, he immediately sent out people and vowed not to let go of any of the lurkers.
In the end, a total of more than a dozen Blood God Cultists, including the master of Steward Li, were all killed, and only he escaped with the young master.
And now, their purpose is very clear, that is, to flee to the Central Plains.
During this period, they must also be reinforced, otherwise they have not eaten for three or four days and have not drunk water for two days, and I am afraid that they will be easily overtaken by the pursuers behind.
Steward Li knows about the West Wind Inn.
At that time, it was his master, in order to leave a way back, he gave a servant this special task, and ordered him to stay at the junction of the Central Plains and the desert to open an inn.
For more than a decade, they had never contacted the inn, and it was unlikely that they would be exposed. So at this time, it is the time when this back road comes into play.
"Steward Li, are we really from the Blood God Sect? My father is really the nephew of Si Zhang, so why did I let my father do such a dangerous undercover mission?"
The young man's tone was still filled with disbelief and suspicion.
He was originally a rich young master in Quicksand City, almost anything, and basically no one dared to mess with him, and every day was a happy day.
But now, all of a sudden, it has come to naught overnight. He had even thought about entering the Holy Fire to teach martial arts, but now he had become a member of the Blood God Sect, which was really incomprehensible to him.
"Young master, you were still young at the beginning, so naturally you can't remember. And the old man has not told you the truth all these years, and he is afraid that the young master will leak his mouth and cause a big disaster. ”
Steward Li shook his head slightly, sighed and said.
"Catastrophe, even if you don't tell me, it's not a catastrophe yet! Even my father is dead, what should I do in the future!"
The young man changed from a fine food and a jade food overnight to a current embarrassed fugitive, and his psychology was suddenly unacceptable, and his mouth was full of complaints and resentment.
"Young Master, you are the nephew of the four old men, when you return to the Divine Sect, you will inevitably get the key cultivation, and as long as you practice martial arts diligently, you will be able to return to Quicksand City one day to recover your blood debts. ”
Steward Li's hands continued to drive the carriage, and his mouth was comforting the young man in the carriage. As soon as these words came out, it really softened the latter's complexion a lot.
"Steward Li, what you said is true? Will the four elders recognize me as a nephew, and will they teach me advanced martial arts?"
The young man felt that if this was the case, it would not be bad, after all, the Blood God Sect was one of the four major God Sects, and it was not inferior to the Holy Fire Sect, if he could really be valued in the sect, I am afraid that his life would not be worse than before.
"Don't worry, young master, the four elders have no children, and they value the master the most, you are the only son of the master, and you will definitely be taken care of by the four elders. ”
Steward Li still said good things, which made the young man smile unconsciously, and he maintained a slumped posture in the carriage, and began to fantasize about his life after entering the Blood God Sect.
It's just that what he didn't see was that Steward Li's face at this time showed a deep disappointment.
Steward Li was absolutely loyal to his master, not only because he had been saved by the latter when he was young, but also because the latter never regarded him as a subordinate.
Now that the old man is dead, he has to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the young master. It's just that he also knows that this young master, who has seen the big man since he was a child, is simply a man who has no ambition and can't support the wall with mud. Visiting the kiln and molesting women may be a good hand, but letting them practice martial arts, study, or even do business is not that material.
I thought that after this time, he would be able to change somewhat, but it still didn't seem to be worth looking forward to.
I'm afraid that even if you reach the main altar of the Divine Sect and have the opportunity to learn advanced martial arts, most of them will not be able to achieve great things.
"That's it, I just need to follow the master's last instructions and send the young master to the main altar of the Divine Sect safely, and then it will depend on the arrangements of the four elders. ”
Steward Li thought of himself again, although his identity was exposed this time and he had to withdraw to the Central Plains, but after more than ten years of lurking, there was no merit and hard work, and returning to the sect should be enough for him to be promoted. It may be a bit of a hanger to make an offering, but at least there is a deacon.
"The person left by the master, I remember it was called Yan Gouzi? I didn't expect that it was just a random hand left at that time, and the person chosen was just an errand servant, but it could really come in handy. ”
"It's just that Yan Gouzi was the only one, and he only got two gold leaves from the master at that time, so I don't know how far I can go. Or did he abandon his mission and run away, or did he die a long time ago?"
Steward Li drove the carriage, and the closer he got to the place he had set, the more cloudy his face became.
"Hmph! You'd better do your job according to the master's mission, otherwise even if you have escaped for more than ten years, you will never want to escape the pursuit of the Divine Cult!" )
