Chapter 70 [Ancient Road Flying Horse]
"Zhu Yuan Zhizhang!"
Zhu Chongba groaned, "...... Zhu Yuanzhang...... Well, the name does have a special meaning. ”
Hu Dahai said: "Eighth brother Chong, then you will be called Zhu Yuanzhang in the future?" ”
Zhu Chongba nodded and said, "Brother Tang is really a good name!" Good! Then I, Zhu Chongba, will be called Zhu Yuanzhang in the future. ”
Since then, Zhu Chongba has changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang...... This name has more weight than that Zhu Chongba! Hu Dahai smacked in his heart, and said: "However, Zhu Chongba screamed, it seems to be more intimate......"
"Brother Dahai, if you think that Zhu Chongba is kind, then you can still call me Chongba in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"I'll call you Zhu Yuanzhang."
Hu Dahai thought for a while and said, "This Zhu Chongba is rustic and tasteless." It's still Zhu Yuanzhang who screamed domineering! Isn't that right, Brother Yuanzhang? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "The name Zhu Chongba is indeed a little weird. ”
Tang Lang also said: "Then I will call you Brother Yuanzhang in the future." ”
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai were only about twenty years old, one or two years younger than Tang Lang. However, the ancient people appeared to be old and mature.
Therefore, from the perspective of onlookers, this Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai seem to be bigger than Tang Lang.
Tang Lang called Zhu Yuanzhang "Brother Yuanzhang", which also has a certain reason.
While a few people were talking, it was already daylight outside.
Tang Lang pushed open the door, walked to the courtyard, took a few breaths of fresh air, and then walked into the house again, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai, "Is this place safe?" It is already daytime, and the whole city of Xiangyang Daru Huachi Mansion will be under martial law, and Mongolian warriors will be dispatched to search and capture it. ”
His fears were unfounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I borrowed this small courtyard from a Mingjiao brother. It should be safe to think about. However, if the Mongol warriors went from house to house, we would not escape their sights. There is no basement in this room. I think it's better for us to leave Xiangyang City as soon as possible. ”
Hu Dahai looked at Guo Guangqing and said, "However, Uncle's injury has not fully recovered......
"The Mongol warriors won't be able to find out here for a while."
Tang Lang thought for a while, and then said, "However, Uncle is seriously injured and needs to recuperate. I think we should quickly move to the outside of Xiangyang City, find a secluded village, and find a family to live in temporarily. ”
"It's fine."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I and the sea can mix out of Xiangyang City." However, my uncle's face has fallen into the eyes of the Mongols, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of the city gate......"
"Don't worry."
Tang Lang said confidently, "Although Brother Yuanzhang and Brother Dahai go out of the city gate, Uncle will wrap up me." -- We will meet ten miles outside the east gate of Xiangyang City. ”
“…… That's all it can be now. Zhu Yuanzhang said silently.
At this moment, Guo Guangqing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and hummed softly.
Tang Lang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Hu Dahai hurriedly rushed to the bedside to see Guo Guangqing.
Although Guo Guangqing's hair was combed and smoothed by Hu Dahai and tied up, his face was bloodless, as miserable as white paper, and it was conceivable that his body was extremely weak.
Since he was arrested by Xiangyang Daru Huachifu, he has been tortured and beaten every day, unable to eat and drink, and his health has naturally deteriorated.
Tang Lang said: "Uncle has not eaten water and rice for several days, his body is weak and weak, and he needs to be nourished, but the food must be light first, and he should not suddenly eat minced meat. ”
Hu Dahai said: "There is still some rice in the room, I'll go cook some rice porridge." He walked quickly to the rice bowl, dug some rice with a scoop, and went out to wash and boil.
Zhu Yuanzhang half sat on the bed and said, "Uncle, I'm Chongba, are you awake......"
“…… Heavy Eight ...... I'm so hungry......" Guo Guangqing said weakly.
Tang Lang wanted to get some hot water for Guo Guangqing to drink first, but he looked at the house, there was no thermos flask or other utensils to store hot water, so he had to take the bowl to the outside water tank and scoop cold water, and feed a little for Guo Guangqing to drink.
Guo Guangqing's lips were already chapped. After he drank a little water, he felt a little more refreshed.
After another while, Hu Dahai had already boiled the rice porridge. He took a bowl, brought it to the table, picked up another egg, broke it, poured the egg juice into the hot rice porridge, stirred it evenly, and brought it to Guo Guangqing's bedside.
Tang Lang helped Guo Guangqing up.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the hot rice porridge, scooped it with a spoon, blew it with his mouth, and then sent it to Guo Guangqing's mouth.
A big bowl of rice porridge, Guo Guangqing only drank half a bowl, and he couldn't drink it anymore, it seemed that his body couldn't hold it anymore.
Rested for a while.
Tang Lang vaguely heard a noise coming from the street market outside.
He listened attentively, as if he heard the voice of the Mongol warrior scolding passers-by.
"Without further ado! Brother Yuanzhang and Brother Dahai are now immediately out of Xiangyang City. I fled from the city wall with my uncle on my back. Fast! Tang Lang's tone was hurried.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai nodded with heavy expressions.
"Brother Tang, Uncle will hand it over to you. You have to be careful. Don't fall him. Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Don't worry." Tang Lang urged them, "Hurry up!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang took off the white robe with flame markings, changed into a gray cotton clothes, and walked out quickly with Hu Dahai.
"Uncle Guo, I'm going to carry you out of the city now and find a place to recuperate." Tang Lang said to Guo Guangqing.
Guo Guangqing, who was lying on the bed, had recovered some of his spirits and changed his clothes. He listened to Tang Lang's words and nodded slightly.
Tang Lang carefully picked up Guo Guangqing and walked out of the small courtyard.
Along the way, he only chose those small alleys that were inaccessible.
Not long after, Tang Lang, who was carrying Guo Guangqing on his back, came to the city wall of Xiangyang City. The section of the wall he was on was far from the gates, so the guards were lax, with only two sword-wielding soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Tang Lang picked up two stones from the ground and struck the two sword-wielding soldiers in the Fengfu Cave, knocking them to the ground.
Then, as soon as he jumped up, he jumped up the city wall, flew over the gallop on the wall, and jumped out of the city.
Tang Lang jumped up and landed, all of them were very light, and Guo Guangqing on his back was not shaken at all.
After coming to the outside of Xiangyang City, he launched a meteor footwork and rushed towards the rendezvous point with Guo Guangqing on his back.
Tang Lang's footsteps were extremely fast, and when he came to the meeting point ten miles outside the east gate of Xiangyang City, Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai had not yet arrived.
So, Tang Lang leaned Guo Guangqing against a big tree and let him rest temporarily.
He stood on the side of the road, constantly looking in the direction of Xiangyang City.
In the distance, a jumble of hooves came to the ground.
Tang Langxin said: "Okay, you Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai actually stole two horses and rode here!" However, even if you two are riding horses, you are not as fast as me! ”
In the blink of an eye, I saw that in front of me, several angry horses kicked and stomped on the ground, like dragons!
Tang Lang opened his eyes and took a closer look, but found that it was not Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai on horseback, but three strange-looking people.
The three horsemen flew over, and when they passed by Tang Lang's side, they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, but continued to gallop forward!
Tang Lang watched the three horses go away, and felt very strange in his heart: "Who are these three people?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”
When he turned around, he saw a big dust behind him, and the sound of more than a dozen horses' hooves shook the sky.
Immediately, the passengers carried scimitars at their waists, bows and arrows in their hands, and shouted and shouted, urging the horses to march wildly.
More than a dozen horses soon galloped past Tang Lang's side.
Tang Lang thought to himself: "The dozen or so horses behind here are all dressed as Mongolian warriors, are they chasing the three people in front?" ”
He couldn't help but be curious.
"Those who are being chased by the Mongols are likely to be anti-Yuan righteous people!"
Tang Lang muttered to himself.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai hadn't come yet, Tang Lang wanted to catch up and take a look.
He glanced at Guo Guangqing and saw that he was lying behind a tree to rest, the location was very hidden, and the surroundings were deserted. So, with a thought, he chased after the dozen horses.
He chased after the galloping horse with a meteor step, and he was not inferior in the slightest, and even faster than the galloping horse!
In a short time, he had caught up with the dozen.
Looking from behind, Tang Lang saw that the dozen or so Mongolian warriors were already about to catch up with the three horses in front.
A dozen Mongol warriors, chasing after them at a gallop, bent their bows and arrows and shot them at the back of the three men in front.
"Fluttering ......"
The arrow burst through the air and struck the back of the three men in front of them.
One of the three men was hit by an arrow in the arm, but he did not stop and continued to urge the horse to gallop.
Tang Lang couldn't stand it anymore.
He suddenly leapt upwards into the middle of the horse team of a dozen Mongol warriors, and jumped up and down on the horsebacks of the horses, punching and kicking them all off their horses.
The dozen or so Mongol warriors were lying on the ground screaming in pain.
Tang Lang thought that they had some martial arts, but who knew that they were so unbeaten.
At this moment, the three horses that had been trying to run suddenly turned around.
The man who had been shot by an arrow in the arm drew a shining scimitar, cursed angrily, and slashed at the dozen or so Mongol warriors lying on the ground, killing several of them on the spot.
Only then did Tang Lang see the faces of the three people, but they were all high-nosed and deep-eyed, with blue eyes, which did not look like the characters of the Central Plains, or they might be the people with colored eyes in the Great Yuan Empire.
Although one of them covered his face with a black veil, Tang Lang could still feel that it was a woman.
He didn't know why the three men were hunted down by the Mongol warriors.
Another man also caught up and helped the man who had been struck by the arrow to kill the Mongol warriors.
The woman, whose face was covered with a black veil, sat quietly on horseback.
