Chapter 52: The Pursuit of the Right Path
When the city gate was opened and a team of men and horses went out of the city under the leadership of the general, Dongfang Shuo's figure had already disappeared into the night.
"Stop!"
The general raised his sword and shouted.
Then he stepped off his horse and took a few steps forward.
At this moment, the distance of twenty or thirty zhang in front of him could still be illuminated by the lights of the city tower, but farther away, only the darkness shrouded in night remained.
Escaped?
The general couldn't help but frown.
And almost just as he was about to give the order, in the darkness of the night, he saw another figure approaching.
The figure was not tall, but the general was already vigilant.
"Is that the hostage?"
When the other party approached, the general was stunned.
What appeared in front of him was the little girl that Dongfang Shuo had kidnapped in front of him.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo put the little girl back, undoubtedly to tell him again that this little girl was not with him.
But Dongfang Shuo can obviously escape, why did he take this little girl with him?
The general wondered.
But after a little thought, he had the answer.
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to catch someone, and I will be angry and harm this little girl?"
The general couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even a 'Demon Sect Disciple' can still have such a heart, can't he even compare to a 'Demon Sect Disciple'?
Isn't the evil that Zhengyizong did in the city vividly?
As a general of a country, he is powerless for those who are really doing evil, but he has to hunt down and kill those who kill the wicked.
Isn't that ridiculous?
"Ying'er!"
Suddenly, a mother's cry came from behind him.
And the little girl who had already walked not far in front of her also quickened her pace and hurriedly ran over.
The general looked at the little girl who fell into her mother's arms, and couldn't help but feel pity.
Snort.
But immediately after, the sound of the sword unsheathed immediately pulled him back to reality.
He saw one of his foot soldiers, already walking to the mother and daughter with a sword.
"Stop!"
The general shook his voice.
Do you want to be wrong?
The foot soldier was also taken aback, but then asked suspiciously: "General, if this woman can be released back by that demon sect disciple, I'm afraid the reason for this is self-evident, do you still want to keep them?"
"What is self-explanatory, you are a grandma leg!"
The general pulled up his leg and hurried to the side of the sword-wielding foot soldier, raised a kick and kicked him directly to the ground, "You are also a soldier under my command, how can you be so cruel?"
"General, this is the person who the Demon Sect disciples put back!"
At this time, one of the foot leaders also ran up and said so.
The general gave him a cold look, and then said in a loud voice, "No matter who she really is, a little girl that even the Demon Sect disciples can't bear to kill, but you instigated me to put her and her mother to death together. Could it be that the hearts of you people are even more sinister than those of the Demon Sect?!"
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
"I'm a general, and everything is up to me. ”
The general said in a loud voice, "Let the mother and daughter go, and whoever dares to dispose of them privately will be killed!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers took the order one after another.
Afterwards, all the soldiers made way at the city gate to let the mother and daughter leave safely.
When they were gone, a cavalry leader walked up to the general.
"General, what about that Demon Sect disciple?"
"The night is dark and the wind is high, and it is in vain to chase it, and tonight I am going to send a wanted warrant to all parts of the county, and the big one will offer a reward of 1,000 gold coins, and the small one will offer a reward of 300 gold coins. The general said.
"Order!"
As soon as the cavalry commander surrendered, he mounted his horse and ran towards the city with his men and horses.
Afterwards, the general beckoned a close attendant over: "You also bring a team of people to clean up the corpses of the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect in the city, and then send them back to the Zhengyi Sect, and tell them the cause and effect of the incident word for word." ”
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then added, "Don't be in a hurry, just arrive before dawn." ”
The attendant was stunned.
Isn't the sect of the Zhengyi Sect on the edge of the royal city?
However, as a person next to the general, he quickly understood the general's intentions after thinking about it.
"Yes. ”
Immediately, he also ran into the city with a group of men.
The general looked at the almost endless darkness outside the city, and whispered, "I hope you can run away this time." But next time, I won't let you leave the royal city alive again. ”
At this moment, Dongfang Shuo, who was hidden in the night, breathed a sigh of relief.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, 4000 points have been credited to the account.] 】
[Kill a total of six people, and you will be rewarded with 6000 points.] 】
Looking at the points, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Unfortunately, tonight will be another sleepless night.
"Brother Zhao, where are we going next?"
After keeping up with Dongfang Shuo, Feng Hao asked.
Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, let's take a step and see a step." It should only be two or three days away from the Huang Mang Desert. ”
"Hmm. ”
Feng Hao nodded, and then looked worried, "But your injury?"
"Out of the way. ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled.
It's really out of the way, with 10,000 points in hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy medicine?
And suddenly, Dongfang Shuo stopped.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhao?"
"Damn, I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring out the wine...... That's two hundred gold coins......"
......
Syllable!
Crush the teacup.
"What?!"
The sect master of the Zhengyi Sect was furious for a while, "His Demon Sect disciples actually infiltrated the royal city and killed six disciples of my Zhengyi Sect?!, Is this general who is the king of Xilan County guarding the city eating dry food, and even the demon sect disciples are allowed to come in?"
Below, the disciple who reported the news was also trembling with fright.
"There are more than 100,000 people who come and go every day in and out of the king of Xilan, and they have to check one by one, how to check the place, it is no wonder that those guards who guard the city. At this time, a young man sitting in the guest seat put down his wine glass and said, "The most important thing now is to comfort the families of those dead disciples, and to capture that demon sect disciple and bring him to justice." ”
Hearing this young man's words, the Zhengyi Sect Master immediately got up, bowed down and said, "What Lord Qin said is very reasonable, then follow what Lord Qin said." ”
After saying that, he stood up straight and looked at the disciple below: "That Demon Sect disciple, where did you flee, did the guards of the royal city chase after you?"
"This ...... The disciple doesn't know ......"
"I don't know, didn't the soldier who brought the corpse back say it?" the Sect Master of the Zhengyi Sect frowned, "Even if he doesn't say it, won't you ask a few questions?"
The disciple nodded: "He...... I don't know where the Demon Sect disciple went......"
"When did this happen?"
"...... in the middle of the night yesterday"
"What happened in the middle of the night, it was even dawn to inform me of the Zhengyi Sect?!" the sect master was furious, "If it is a little later, the rumors should have reached my ears!
The night passed, and even if he wanted to chase it, he had nowhere to chase it.
Click......
One of the chopsticks suddenly broke.
The young man known as Lord Qin stood up at this time.
"If you kill someone who is in the right sect, you will be the enemy of my sect. ”
With a throw of the chopsticks, the young man walked to the front of the hall and stood beside the kneeling disciple, "Since the Zhengyi Sect is powerless now, then it is necessary for my Taiyi Sect to do it." If he didn't kill the chickens and make an example, he was afraid that the Demon Sect would really think that I was too easy to provoke. ”
Seeing the young man walking to the front of the hall, this sect master naturally didn't dare to sit still.
He quickly got up and stepped forward as well.
"Sect Master, I'll leave the matter to you. The young man said, "I'll settle the rest of the matter." In addition, what my master has told you to do, you must also complete it as soon as possible. Leave. ”
"Congratulations to Lord Qin. ”
Seeing the young man leaving, the sect master of Zhengyi Sect secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sect Master, what should we do next?"
"You can do what you want, the few people who died don't matter, just send them away. ”
The suzerain stopped.
The fury he had just now was purely pretending to be for that Lord Qin.
After all, he knew very well that this Lord Qin would eat this set.
"But that Demon Sect disciple ......"
"What kind of demon sect disciple, the second day of the dignified Qingzhou, the Taiyi Sect's senior disciple Qin Hao made a move, that guy is not dead and has no place to be buried?"
When the disciple heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.
......
Dongfang Shuo took Feng Hao and jumped off the dog-beating stick and quickly crawled into the bushes on the side of the mountain.
Whew!
Immediately, several young men passed in the direction from which they had come, and as if they did not notice them, they flew directly towards a farther place.
After they walked away, Dongfang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't I kill just a few disciples of the Zhengyi Sect, how do you feel that all the sects in the world are chasing and killing me?!"
Dongfang Shuo got out of the bushes, looked in the direction of those people leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.
He also tried to intercept and kill the people who were chasing him, but these guys came in waves, and they were like a demon.
This was already the thirteenth batch of young monks he had seen, and they were all from different sects.
And now, among those teams chasing Dongfang Shuo, there are also some small sect elders, so that Dongfang Shuo gradually has no idea where to start.
Who the hell am I provoking?
Dongfang Shuo wouldn't be hunted down by so many sects until the first day, right?
He was helpless.
Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, is this the reason?
You have to resume your cultivation as soon as possible.
Either way, he wasn't tired.
Because at this time, it was already the third day of his escape.
All the cities in Xilan County have been hung with the wanted warrants of him and Feng Hao, and he can change his appearance, but Feng Hao can't do it.
Whenever he wanted to enter the city, he would be spotted on the spot.
"Anyway, this wanted warrant painted me like a ghost, how the hell did those guys recognize me according to such a wanted warrant?"
Dongfang Shuo took out two wanted notices from his pocket, opened them, and looked at the crooked-looking face, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
And Feng Hao took his portrait, and his face was also embarrassed: "But Brother Zhao, my head is worth three hundred gold coins, tsk." ”
"You're glad you're a big-headed ghost!"
Dongfang Shuo glanced at him and snatched the wanted warrant.
Bear!
The flames ignited, and the wanted warrant instantly turned to ashes.
Then he looked to the north.
To the north of this hillside, there is only an endless plain.
And this also proves that they are close to the Huang Mang Desert.
