Chapter 934: Guiding Lao Zhang? Martial arts romance?
Liu Yu and Lao Zhang's luggage were prepared very simply, one copy of the necessary flints, knives and the like in the wild, and the scattered silver that they had saved up on weekdays was also divided into two halves and hid closely. The burden on Liu Yu's body is a little bigger, but the weight is not heavy, inside is a blanket and two cloaks made of oilcloth; Lao Zhang's burden is smaller, and it contains flatbread and pickles for dry food, as well as two large water bladders.
These were prepared for two people, without any consideration of the other three who accompanied them. If, just to say, the new moon was able to get sick and feverish, dying, or even dying in that heavy rain, then thank God for that. But thinking about the hardness of the protagonist under normal circumstances, Liu Yu can only look at the sky and sigh, it's difficult!
As soon as the refugees left Jingzhou, they rushed in all directions, and the crowd that had originally gathered together gradually became dispersed. Liu Yu and the others naturally want to go in the direction of the capital, and it is best to go up to the official road in the direction of the capital, so that they can meet the Eight Banners army that came to support them earlier. Moreover, there are many people on the official road, so it is at least safer to mingle in them.
Both girls have never suffered hardship, and they have slowed down along the way. The soles of Crescent's feet were already blistering, and she wanted to suggest a pause. But seeing Liu Yu's expressionless face and the appearance of hurrying away, he was inexplicably afraid in his heart, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Originally, Mang Gutai and Yunwa were one person holding the new moon, but gradually it became Mang Gutai in the middle, one person supporting the two girls, basically half-dragging them forward. Even if Mang Gutai is a strong man, after walking like this for a long time, his face is slightly pale. He wanted Lao Zhang to help, but the slave didn't seem to hear it, so he just followed behind the little master of "Keshan".
Looking up at the sky, there were already clouds gathering. Liu Yu frowned, "Lao Zhang, is there a place near here that can shelter from the wind and rain?" "It's late afternoon, and even if there's no wind or rain, it's time to find a place to spend the night. However, looking at the clouds on the horizon, I wonder if I can find a place to stay before the rain falls.
Lao Zhang also raised his head and looked around, before pointing to the small mountain bag a little farther away, and said in a deep voice: "Master, the slave remembers the back of the mountain bag." There is a ruined temple. When he was hunted down and killed that year, the minions lived there for a few days, and although they were in tatters, they were sheltered from the wind and rain. Before he could finish speaking, there was a flash in front of him. Then there was thunder.
Liu Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled the oilcloth cloak out of the baggage. One piece was handed to Lao Zhang. One piece is draped over the body. In the rainstorm, the umbrella is actually useless, so Liu Yu has already ordered someone to find an oilcloth to make a cloak. This cloak was made according to the shape of the body, just covering him and Lao Zhang.
"It's going to rain soon, so you don't have to keep up." After walking a few feet, Liu Yu realized that the three had not followed. When I looked back, I realized that people were in a daze. When is this, and you are still in a daze, do you really think this is a vacation? Don't hurry up and leave before the rain comes, the road will be difficult to walk when it rains.
It darkened almost instantly. The rain poured down without money, waking up the three people who were facing Liu Yu stunned. In such a panicked situation today, how could the three of them remember to bring umbrellas, but they didn't expect that these two people who were temporarily notified were so well prepared. However, at this time, I couldn't take care of this, so I could only follow in the heavy rain.
The rain hit her face, and the crescent moon staggered at her feet, but she closed her eyes and threw her face up, letting the rain flow freely on her face. She felt that God had sensed her mood and had this downpour, which was why God was crying for her. How heavy this rain is, it means how much her heart hurts, and how heavy the injury is, so let this rain fall more!
If the other fleeing people knew what was going on with the girl, they would have drowned her with their spittle. Originally, it was tragic enough to flee in the face of a military disaster, and this kind of unlucky weather was encountered on the road, which was really miserable, but now there is an unlucky stupid woman praying that the rain will fall more, and it will definitely be miserable!
The mountain bag didn't look too far away, but by the time they arrived in the rain, it was already more than half an hour later. Originally, Xinyue and Yunwa were already tired for a day, and it was even more difficult to let the rain shower. At this time, it was Mang Gutai's performance time, and it was still he who dragged the two girls into the ruined temple. As soon as they entered the temple gate, the three of them collapsed in half.
The rain was so heavy that even with the oilcloth cloak, Liu Yu and Lao Zhang were also half wet. They are all like this, not to mention the three crescents, and they are not enough to describe each one with soup chicken. Liu Yu glanced over, followed Lao Zhang, silently collected the combustibles scattered around the temple in one place, and watched Lao Zhang light the fire.
This ruined temple is near the official road, and from time to time people spend the night, and the dry firewood left behind is barely enough. Just when Liu Yu was thinking about whether to build another fire for the three of them, they had already come over automatically, so he didn't have to bother with that. Several people were silent, Liu Yu didn't want to speak, and Xinyue was busy trembling and didn't have the strength to speak.
Lao Zhang baked the flatbread he brought on the fire, rolled some pickles and handed them to Liu Yu, and then rolled another one for himself to eat, without greeting the other three at all. When people are hungry, they will feel even hungrier when they see people next to them eating, and this is the case with the three crescents. However, they also brought their own dry food, so they did not worry about starvation. Just take it out and look at it, it has been drenched by the rain, and it is a mess, which makes people really have no desire to eat.
Xinyue only glanced at it, and then turned her gaze to Lao Zhang. "Lao Zhang, where is our dry food?" As the most favored Gege in Duanwangfu, Xinyue didn't have any pressure to ask. Lao Zhang is a slave of Duanwangfu, that is, her Xinyue Gege's minion, even if he serves "Keshan". Moreover, this time, only a few of them escaped from the Duanwang Mansion, so they should naturally support each other in order to rebuild the Duanwang Mansion in the future.
However, Lao Zhang disappointed the noble Gege, he lowered his head and stuffed the cake into his mouth, without saying a word. Until Xinyue's eyes became more and more red, Yunwa's face was angry, and Mang Gutai was also about to move, Liu Yu swallowed the last bite of cake and ordered: "Give me water, and give half of the dry food to my sister and them." ”
With Liu Yu's words, Lao Zhang slowly handed over a few pieces of cakes. The three of them don't care about being angry and sad at this time, and it's important to fill their stomachs first. After some gobbling up. Only then did I have the heart to think about something else. The new moon is still wet, and she feels even more uncomfortable when she is full. When I wanted to change my clothes, I remembered that my baggage was soaked, so I had to change it.
Although there was no mirror, Xinyue could think of how embarrassed she was at this moment, her hair was messy and wet on her scalp, and her clothes were soaked and clinging to her body, not to mention that they were covered with mud. All this, looking at Yunwa's appearance, I know that Xinyue doesn't think that she can be much better than her personal maid at this time. And what made her even more uncomfortable. It's what happened these days.
Why did the Duanwang Mansion cause civil unrest? Xinyue has always believed that their family has a good reputation among the townships, and it is a rare benevolent palace. If it weren't for that, how could the people of Jingzhou give her such a precious and rare gift on her birthday? Why do you respect and revere Amma and her brother so much? Their family has never hurt anyone, so why do these rioters want to hurt them?
Her Ama and her brothers had to fight back. But they are still outnumbered, and now they can't even keep the palace. I don't know if the relatives are still alive. There are so many people in the whole palace. Only the five of them became deserters. Although Ama said that she asked her and "Keshan" to shoulder the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the palace, she knew that Ama was reluctant to let her.
As close to the fire as possible, Crescent Moon looked at her worn feet, and her eyes slipped unconsciously. Her heart was desolate, as if she was still connected with those relatives who were on the battlefield. Suddenly. She saw Liu Yu yawning through the flames, and a wave of anger couldn't help but hit up. She has endured this "Keshan" for a long time today.
"Keshan, you have to cheer up, how can you be listless? Amma, Eniang, and brothers still don't know what to do. Maybe it's just the two of us left in this family. You have to fight for Amma, Eniang, and your brothers, you can't relax, you can't be lazy, because you don't have that qualification anymore, because their lives are exchanged for their lives. ”
When she said these words, Xinyue was so excited that she couldn't even care about her embarrassment and stood up, wanting to go over and hug Liu Yu. Maybe "Keshan" is the only male in the family, she must urge him, inspire him, love him, must not let Ama and them down, must let "Keshan" become a talent, and rebuild Prince Duan's mansion.
was taken by Lao Zhang for a while, dodging the pale hand stretched out by the new moon, and Liu Yu, who was already drowsy, woke up a little. After a tiring day, he lost all his strength, even if he was healthy, he was a little unbearable at this time. Holding back the sleepiness, Liu Yu glanced at Xinyue and muttered in a low voice, "What is this woman crazy about?" ”
"Tonight, Lao Zhang and Mang Gutai have a vigil, Lao Zhang is in the first half of the night, and Mang Gutai is in the second half of the night. Hurry up and rest now, and you'll have to go on your way early tomorrow morning. Unwilling to take care of the new moon, Liu Yu immediately closed his eyes after giving the order and fell asleep.
For the next few days, we were still walking on the road. The situation is a little bad, the dry food I brought with me has almost eaten, and what is even more terrible is that the water bladder has bottomed out. Liu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, and pursed his chapped lips, "I can't go on like this, Lao Zhang, where is there a village near here?" ”
"No, it's desolate. Only ten miles ahead, there was a valley with a stream in it. Although Lao Zhang looks a little embarrassed, the spirit of the whole person is okay, and he can be called calm and relaxed, so it can be inferred that his martial arts should be very good.
It's just that I don't know how Lu Dao, such a top master in the rivers and lakes, would succumb to the palace as a slave! Maybe it's the hands and feet of the main god?! Because after Liu Yu was teleported to this mission space and directly became "Keshan", Lao Zhang was already Keshan's personal servant. And he also turned a blind eye to Liu Yu's deliberate behavior that was very different from "Keshan", and he didn't seem to notice the abnormality of his master at all! With such a demeanor, no one will believe him if he is fine!
Liu Yu even speculated that this "Lao Zhang" was afraid that he was the "guide" specially arranged for him by the main god, after all, he didn't have the main god watch now, so he couldn't accept the task intuitively, and he urgently needed someone to give him a boost...... Of course, this is just Liu Yu's unilateral speculation, and he has not received any response from Lao Zhang. And he doesn't have the heart to test Lao Zhang now, for now, saving his life is the top priority!
Valley? That's where the gods and the crescent moon meet, right?! The corners of Liu Yu's mouth twitched uncontrollably, he really didn't want to go to that kind of place where incidents often occurred. But now it seems that there is no way to avoid it, is this the predetermined fate? He hesitated for a long time. Liu Yu still decided to go over. After all, he felt like he was on the verge of dehydration.
Ten miles is not far, but it is difficult to walk under the sun, especially with two pampered girls. From mid-afternoon to evening, Liu Yu felt that he was about to suffer from heat stroke before he saw the shadow of the valley. Not far away, the murmuring of the stream could already be faintly heard, which made those who had been hungry and thirsty all day unconsciously quicken their pace.
"Lao Zhang, Mang Gutai, pay attention later. There can be danger inside the valley. You'd better cheer up and save yourself from being caught off guard by what happens. Before approaching the valley, Liu Yu couldn't help but whisper. Among the five people, they can be counted on in case of danger. That's all there is to it, and his current body is estimated to be able to handle at most three or five elite soldiers. When you meet a martial arts master, you really have to take a break.
Really. As soon as a few people entered the valley, they met six or seven people from the rivers and lakes. Looking at the fierce temperament and fierce murderous spirit of these people, you can know that they are not good citizens, but real Jiangyang thieves. It should be that when the people in Jingzhou were in turmoil, they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. Seeing Liu Yu and the others dressed up in embarrassment, they didn't want any money, but were more interested in the two big girls. rushed up and wanted to rob two women.
"Don't be rude!" Mang Gutai immediately refused, his family is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can these dirty and rough men touch it. Mang Gutai did have some kung fu in his body, and he had prepared in advance. Desperately, a big knife blocked several Jianghu people. He was originally a guard of the palace, and he had already held his breath before he could bathe in blood, and at this time he was all vented-vented.
Lao Zhang next to him was not surprised by Liu Yu, he was indeed a rare master, and judging by the tricks he cast, it should still be the Wudang School's peerless "Wuji Xuangong Boxing". He was light and nimble, and his fists were skillful and powerful, and he easily intercepted the remaining big men, and they were powerless to fight back.
Those Jiangyang thieves are also old Jianghu, and they recognized the "Wuji Xuangong Fist" like Liu Yu, and further, they also recognized the identity of "Lao Zhang": "Wuji Xuangong Fist? Are you the number one master of Wudang layman, the firehand judge Zhang Zhaozhong? I didn't expect you to hide here after assassinating Ma Zhendao, the head of Wudang......"
When he heard the seven words "Fire Hand Judge Zhang Zhaozhong", Liu Yu had no mind to deal with other things, he didn't expect that this task space was not only "New Moon Gege", it also included "Book Sword Enmity and Enmity"! It's just that I don't know if this is romance messing into martial arts, or martial arts messing into romance......
With Liu Yu's current situation, he naturally wouldn't step forward to help with his might, but he was not idle, and ran into the grass as soon as he beckoned Xinyue. Xinyue had never seen such a battle, and the screams kept coming out of her mouth. was helped by Yunwa to run while looking back. Although Mang Gutai's kung fu is good, he is also outnumbered, and he has been cut several times on his body, and he will not be able to stop the bad guys around him.
Xinyue was panicked and frightened in her heart, they had only escaped for a few days, and they hadn't met reinforcements from the imperial court, were they going to die here? She didn't want to die, but where was the way to live? Looking around in confusion, there was no one else in the valley except for them, who were thieves, and they didn't even know who to call for help. She deeply felt the despair of being cornered and abandoned by the world.
"Sister, instead of being captured and humiliated, it is better to be loyal to the whole festival." Although he lost his strength, Liu Yu's ears and eyes were still sensitive, and he could already hear the faint sound of horses' hooves. It's just the right time to do it. The reputation of dying in a whole festival is much better than the reputation of martyrdom on the battlefield. However, based on his previous hunch, he would not do it himself. So he held the dagger given by Prince Duan, and said: "Sister, now that Mang Gutai and Lao Zhang are in the way, we still have a chance to die in our own hands." Come on, be brave, and go to meet Ama and Fujin in a clear and jade manner......"
In such a scene, Xinyue suddenly felt less scared again, she thought it was so romantic. A kind and noble aristocratic girl, her family suddenly changed, fled all the way, and finally had no choice but to die. It would be perfect if you could have a handsome and considerate man by your side. I don't know if hundreds of years later, people will be telling the story of her courage and loyalty.
The eyes of the woman in front of her were slightly closed, and two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and her face was absolutely dead. If it weren't for the fact that there was a lot of dust on the face and sweat stains, it would be a beautiful scenery. It's a pity that Liu Yu only felt disgusting in his heart, and when he looked at it, he knew that this woman didn't know what Lu Dao thought of, and it was enough to look at the rippling appearance.
"Inlaid with white flags, Gege, inlaid with white flags...... Ah......" Just as the dagger in Xinyue's hand fell without hesitation, Yunwa's cry suddenly sounded in his ears, and then a figure slammed down in front of Xinyue, it was Yunwa. Gege and Brother were about to die, and she wasn't going to live, but who knew that Lu Dao saw the flag with a white flag at this time, and reinforcements were coming.
Liu Yu frowned, he didn't have time to stop it, so he had to watch as the dagger in Xinyue's hand was pierced on the shoulder of Yun Wa, the protector. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, how could it be so coincidental, could it be that the protagonist's aura really shines so brightly? However, now is not the time to say this, he managed his expression, took out Prince Duan's arrow with a look of "surprise" and shook it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Prince Duan's arrow is here, come to the rescue......" (to be continued......)
