Tang Lang rode back to the meeting place where he and Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai met.

When he came back, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai were standing on the side of the road, constantly looking in the direction of Xiangyang City.

So, Tang Lang urged his crotch to dismount and gallop away.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and hurriedly looked back, but they happened to see Tang Lang galloping on a tall horse, followed by more than a dozen horses.

Hu Dahai was overjoyed, and said to Tang Lang, who was rushing quickly: "Brother Tang, good means!" When he disappeared, so many horses came. We went east to Haosi, Hui Province, just in time to pretend to be a merchant selling horses. ”

Tang Lang galloped to the front, jumped off the horse lightly and skillfully, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai: "How long have you been here?" ”

"It's just arrived."

Hu Dahai said, "We are not like you, who have done outstanding work, flying over the city wall and flying wildly on the grass. Yuanzhang and I came step by step. ”

Tang Lang smiled and nodded.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already helped Guo Guangqing to walk from behind the big tree.

Tang Lang saw it and said, "Uncle Guo can't ride a horse yet." I'll carry him on his back. Brother Yuanzhang, Brother Dahai, the two of you hurry up and choose a good horse to ride, and we will rush east, preferably away from Xiangyang City. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang understood what Tang Lang meant, and knew that he wanted to leave the core sphere of influence of Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion as much as possible.

At this time, it was the beginning of summer, and the Heavenly Dao had slowly begun to get hot.

Tang Lang mounted a horse.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Dahai helped Guo Guangqing onto the horse that Tang Lang was riding.

Tang Lang used a long cloth belt to firmly tie the weak Guo Guangqing around his waist and tie it tightly to prevent him from falling off his horse.

The trio continued eastward.

All the way through Zaoyang, Tangzhou and other places, came to Suizhou. From Suizhou all the way to the south, you can reach the Yangtze River, and take a ferry east into Jiangxi Province and Hui Province.

Tang Lang was galloping east from Xiangyang City, and he very much hoped that he could meet the three of them again, such as Landis, Ghost Lichi, and Bal Bulu.

However, he didn't end up seeing Lantis either.

When I came to the ground in Suizhou, it was already noon. This is far from the core jurisdiction of Xiangyang Daru Huachi Province.

Tang Lang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Hu Dahai were just merchants pretending to be horse sellers, but they did not encounter Mongolian patrol cavalry either.

Along the way, although there was some trepidation, it was generally relatively safe.

It's about to arrive in Suizhou City.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said to Tang Lang: "Brother Tang, we have left Xiangyang City very far, so let's not enter Suizhou City again." Find a village around here and stay for a while. After my uncle's body recovered, we went south to the Yangtze River and took a boat back to Chuzhou. ”

"It's fine." Tang Lang nodded and said.

The three of them were just about to ride their horses down the official road, but suddenly they saw three horses galloping very quickly on the official road in front of them, coming from here.

Tang Lang couldn't help but look at the three horses, he originally thought it was Lantis, Ghost Lichi, and Bald Bulu, but he didn't expect that after the three horses approached, he found that they were three strange men.

The three men, dressed plainly, but carrying knives on their shoulders, were obviously practitioners.

Tang Lang saw the man in the lead, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a rough face, at first glance, he was a habitual hand who roamed the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart.

The horses on which the three men were riding galloped all the way, but suddenly stopped in front of Tang Lang. These three people do have a set of equestrian skills.

"Is it the sea brother of the giant wooden flag?"

As soon as the man in the lead saw Hu Dahai, he shouted cordially.

Hu Dahai was riding a horse and was about to gallop down the official road, when he suddenly heard someone call his name, hurriedly reined in the horse, and followed the prestige.

"Brother Wen Jun of Houtu Banner!"

Hu Dahai also shouted in surprise.

The leading man patted the horse and walked to Hu Dahai's side, sat on the horse's back and slapped him with each other.

Hu Dahai said: "But it's not an adventure! Unexpectedly, we met by chance in Suizhou. ”

The leading man said: "I heard the legend of the brothers of the Ming Sect that Lord Guo Xiang was arrested by the people of Daru Huachi Mansion in Xiangyang. Brother Shouhui is very anxious! Guo Xiangzhu had an accident on the ground in Hubei Province, which really made it difficult for Brother Shouhui to sleep and eat at night. This Hubei Province is, after all, the ground of our thick soil flag. Therefore, Brother Shouhui specially sent me and two brothers to Xiangyang to inquire about the news and try to rescue them. ”

"It's really hard for Xu Xiang. Lord Guo Xiang has been rescued by us. Hu Dahai said, pointing to Guo Guangqing, who was sleeping behind Tang Lang, with his hand.

"Ahh The leading man was taken aback and said, "It turns out that you have rescued Lord Guo Xiang." That's just great. Guo Xiang ...... and said, looking at Guo Guangqing who was in a coma.

Hu Dahai hurriedly explained: "Lord Guo Xiang was hung in Xiangyang Dalu Huachi Mansion and poisoned, the water and rice did not enter, and now his body is weak and he has fallen asleep. However, he was fine. ”

"That's good, that's good......"

The leading man glanced at Tang Lang and Zhu Yuanzhang again, and said to Hu Dahai: "These two brothers are ......."

Hu Dahai hurriedly introduced: "This is Zhu Yuanzhang, the nephew of Guo Xiangzhu; This is the Tang Lang Tang brother who has newly joined this sect, his martial arts are extremely high, and Guo Xiangzhu was rescued by him. ”

The leading man hurriedly bowed his hand, "I'm glad to be there." Below is Ni Wenjun under the Mingjiao 'Five Elements Banner' Houtu, which is under the command of Xu Shouhui and Xu Xiang. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the two men behind him and said, "These two brothers are Zhao Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian, and they are also dedicated to following Xu Shouhui's eldest brother. ”

Zhao Pusheng has a round face and a beardless body, and his body is majestic, and he knows at a glance that he is a powerful person. He carried two knives on his back, and his majestic posture was very impressive.

Zhang Dingbian has a handsome face, a bright light in his eyes, a burly figure, and five locks of beautiful hair, which looks extremely chic. ――This person was later known as "the first fierce general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty"!

Ni Wenjun, Zhao Pusheng, and Zhang Dingbian are all in their twenties.

Tang Lang and Zhu Yuanzhang were also clasping their fists and saluting.

Several people were talking politely to each other.

-- Hu Dahai joined the Ming Sect earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang, and he once followed Guo Guangqing to the "Guangming Peak" where the main altar of the Ming Sect in the Western Regions was located, so he met Ni Wenjun, who was with Xu Shouhui at that time.

Although the two of them belonged to the two flags of the Five Elements Banner, the conversation was quite speculative.

Ni Wenjun looked at Guo Guangqing, who was still asleep on Tang Lang's back, and said, "Lord Guo Xiang seems to be weak and urgently needs to recuperate. Originally, I wanted to invite you to go to Dabie Mountain Cloudy Villa today to meet Brother Shouhui for a while. However, Guo Xiangzhu's body does not seem to be able to withstand long-distance bumps. ”

Hu Dahai sighed and said, "Brother Wen Jun, for your kindness, the sea is very grateful. It's just that from Suizhou to Dabie Mountain, I see that the fast horse gallops for a full day. Guo Xiangzhu's body naturally couldn't bear it. ”

Ni Wenjun nodded and said, "That's right." I have a friend near Suizhou, so let's go to his house for a while. When Guo Xiangzhu's body recovers, I respectfully invite him to Dabie Mountain Cloudy Villa to meet Brother Shouhui. ”

Hu Dahai said: "This is the best. ”

……

Under the leadership of Ni Wenjun, Zhao Pusheng, and Zhang Dingbian, Tang Lang carried Guo Guangqing, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Hu Dahai to a small mountain village not far from Suizhou.

Ni Wenjun stretched out his right hand, pointed to a big mountain in front of him, and said to Tang Lang and the three of them, "Look! That's 'Aoyama'! This friend of mine lives in 'Castle Peak Village' at the foot of Castle Hills. ”

The group slowly entered Qingshan Village.

By this time, it was getting late.

Ni Wenjun led them to a house and stopped. -- The house had five huts with a large yard and was surrounded by a fence.

The chickens and dogs in the yard are barking, so unhappy.

"Brother Yuzhen, are you at home?"

Ni Wenjun shouted loudly at the five grass houses.

A stout man suddenly walked out of the five grass huts. He was of medium height, with a handsome face, a short beard, and the appearance of twenty-four or five years old.

Seeing Ni Wenjun, the stout and stocky man was overjoyed: "Brother Wenjun! What are you doing here!? The expression on his face was full of surprise.

"I happened to be passing by here, and I came to pay a visit."

Ni Wenjun smiled and introduced to everyone: "This is my friend Ming Yuzhen. ”

When they saw each other, they were all very happy and laughed.

Ming Yuzhen invited the group into his thatched hut to sit down, and hurriedly arranged for Guo Guangqing to sleep on the bed, while instructing his wife Peng to kill chickens and make rice.

Ming Yuzhen said: "It's getting late today, let's eat some chicken first." What a slack! Early tomorrow morning, I will kill a sheep, and then please drink sheep soup. ”

Everyone politely said: "It's really hard work." ”

But it turned out that this Ming Yuzhen was also a member of the Ming Sect, and Xu Shouhui Xiangtang, which belonged to Hubei Province, should be in charge.

When everyone talked about Guo Guangqing, they sighed at each other, and scolded Chen Youliang for being sinister.

Suddenly, a person in the audience said loudly: "Everyone says that Chen You forgives the danger, but I think this person is far-sighted, wise, and ambitious, and he is a hero!" There seemed to be some anger in his voice.

Everyone followed the sound, but found that the person who spoke was Zhang Dingbian.

When Ni Wenjun heard this, he asked Zhang Dingbian and said, "Brother Dingbian knows Chen Youliang?" ”

Zhang Dingbian said: "Why don't you know? Chen Youliang and I grew up together, and I know his surname best. I don't think he'd do anything like that. It's not that Brother Tang Lang heard it wrong. ”

Tang Lang didn't want to make everyone as fast as possible, so he said, "Maybe...... Maybe I misheard it that night. ”

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Ming Yuzhen hurriedly played a round: "Alas, everyone finally got together, so don't talk about those unpleasant things." The chicken has already been stewed. Let's all sit down for dinner. ”;
