After Zou Li got off the horse, he walked in front of them, and glanced at Tang Guxi with a majestic gaze, but quickly retracted it, and instead fell on the Huangjiang in front of him, staring quietly, without saying a word. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Master." Tang Guxi hurriedly ran to Zou Li, but only to find that he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and twisted the fingers of his hands, with a look of shame.

"Now, you're having fun?" Zou Li narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his tone was not half reproachful, but full of care and jokes.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Guxi became even more ashamed, and whispered: "Xi'er knows that she shouldn't deceive her parents and run out, but ...... But my father shouldn't have forced me to marry into the Hou Mansion! Master, you know, why...... Why don't you speak for Xi'er? ”

"Humph!" Zou Li snorted coldly in his nose, "Do you still have the face to say?" If your father and mother don't use this trick, they don't know how to tie you up. ”

With that, he ignored Tang Guxi and waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately took something from their horses and walked over to the injured among them without saying a word.

Wu Sheng hadn't taken off his guard yet, so he stretched out his arm to stop him, and said with a straight face: "What are you going to do!" ”

Those people were stunned and didn't speak, only heard Zou Li let out two faint laughs, with a pleasant look, "Don't be afraid, my people just brought some wound medicine to help your subordinates bandage their wounds." ”

Tang Guxi turned his head, a little angry, and said sharply: "Don't let go yet!" ”

Wu Sheng's face did not move, but his arm was lowered, and he stepped out of the way to let them pass. Huang Jiang was very emotional in his heart, and couldn't help but step forward and bow deeply, and said sonorously: "Thank you for this master!" I don't know what to call Your Excellency? ”

"Hahaha," Zou Li looked up and laughed, "Since we met, why do we need to know the name?" It seems that you are the one who teaches Xi'er's martial arts? ”

"This ......" Huang Jiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant.

"Master, he's not." Tang Guxi explained, pointing to Lin Luo and Lin Xun on the opposite side, and said, "I said that I want to practice swords with them...... It's these two. ”

Zou Li turned her head along her fingers, her eyes fell on the two young people, and with just a glance, she sniffed out their skills and strength from their all-round style.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun hurriedly bowed their heads to show respect. Lin Luo said: "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue just now, otherwise it would be ......"

Zou Li smiled at them and waved his hand, "You don't need to be polite, if it weren't for your two excellent martial arts, my archers would be useless." The old man was on the horse, looking at the girl's eyesight and skills, it seems that Xi'er is interested in learning martial arts from you, and it is understandable. ”

"The seniors praised it falsely." Lin Luo put down his hand, "I heard that the seniors are highly respected and the disciples are widely distributed, and my younger brother and I are in front of you, it's just a class with an axe." ”

Zou Li was still smiling, his eyes moved to Lin Xun again, and he saw that his face was a little immature, his face was like a jade crown, and he was also extremely standard, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and said: "Although this son is young, he is vigorous, and it seems that the two of them must be famous." I wonder if the girl can tell the old man which master the two masters are? ”

"This ......" Lin Luo couldn't help but lower his head, not knowing how to respond.

Lin Xun was about to break the siege, but he only heard Zou Li laugh, turned his head to Tang Guxi and said: "Xi'er, you go and give them a hand first, I have something to talk about with you, the two 'masters'......"

"Master, you ......"

"Let's go."

Tang Guxi had no choice but to nod, glanced at Lin Luolin Xun, turned around and walked away. Zou Li turned his head, stretched out his arm and pointed to the other side of the mountain road, and said, "Two, please come." ”

Lin Luo and Lin Xun glanced at each other, but they didn't know what the other party was planning, so they followed Zou Li over. It wasn't until they had a distance away from Tangguxi that Zou Li stopped, turned around and quietly faced the two.

"If you want to take her away, you'd better not rush it." Zou Li spoke slowly, word by word, the old and strong voice came out of his mouth, and his weather-beaten face added a little more weight to these words.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun were shocked, they never imagined that the first thing Zou Li said when he called them over was this. They stared blankly at the old-timer, speechless for a long time.

Zou Li's face no longer had a smile, but instead changed to a sense of pathos and solemnity, he sighed lightly, turned to look at the green mountains in the distance, and said slowly: "Nineteen years ago, I was not in Shengge, and the southern kingdom that had not yet been destroyed at that time and the current Xizhou were in the midst of a beacon fire. As I was traveling, I heard from others that the queen of the southern kingdom had a widow who was fleeing north. Soon after, I heard that they had been killed by their pursuers......"

At this point, he didn't say anything further, but turned around, looking at the two people next to him with cloudy eyes, his brows slightly furrowed and staring finely. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You two must have gone through a lot of hardships on the way when you two came from such a far away, right?" ”

At this time, Lin Xun's face was already pale, he stared at Zou Li with his eyes open, his surprise was indescribable, and he spoke for a while: "Old, old-timer, these ...... Did you already know? Have you ever told anyone? ”

Zou Li lowered his eyelids and said, "Don't worry, this matter has long been rotten in the old man's stomach, if it weren't for the two of you appearing today, I guess I wouldn't have said it for the rest of my life." After a pause, he added, "However, Tang Yuanwai and Mrs. Tang have no idea about this child. It's just that the two of them love their daughters, but now they want to be taken by the two of you, so naturally they are reluctant. ”

"I know," Lin Luo said, his voice was light, his eyes lowered to the ground, "I know what we have done is cruel and unjustifiable, but...... Since my predecessors know the ins and outs of this matter, then my brother and I shouldn't need to explain more, right? ”

Zou Li lowered his head and nodded, "This day will come sooner or later, I expected it." He raised his head and glanced lightly at Tanggu Creek in the distance, "Xi'er has a stubborn temperament since he was a child, and he has been going straight forward, and I don't know how many disasters he will encounter in the future...... The old man just hopes that the two of you can treat each other kindly. ”

"Seniors don't have to worry, Xun'er and I should treat her like our lives and protect her safety." Lin Luo stared at Zou Li seriously, "It's just...... Today we have something to ask for, and we ask our seniors to help. ”

"You're welcome, girl, please."

"After saying goodbye today, when Xun'er and I go back to Linqing, I'm afraid it will be a month later. And Miss Tang's wedding day, we are afraid that we can't wait, once she marries into the Hou Mansion, then we ......" She didn't say any more, and said after a while, "So, we want our seniors to hold them back, and we can drag them for a few days...... Xun'er and I will return early, and then we will go to your house to thank you! ”

With that, she clasped her fists to her chest as a gesture of pleading. Seeing this, Lin Xun also hurriedly stretched out his hand and lowered his head slightly.

Zou Li was indifferent, he was not worried at all, and said: "You two don't need to beg me for this matter, the matter of marriage is not allowed to be sloppy, let alone the son of the Hou Mansion?" Otherwise, they won't be able to get married in two months, so please rest assured. ”

A smile appeared on Lin Luo and Lin Xun's faces, and they raised their eyes to look at this senior, their eyes full of gratitude.

Tang Guxi and Yuming helped Liu Wugang sort out Ling Niang's body, the three of them no longer shed tears, they just accepted their fate, knowing that the dead would not come back to life, and now outside the wilderness, the important thing is to transport Ling Niang's body back with dignity and arrange the aftermath. After she finished taking care of it, she took a coarse cloth from the disciples brought by her master, and joined forces with Liu Wugang to wrap Ling Niang's body.

After everything was done, she looked at the side of the mountain road not far away, and saw that the master was talking to Lin Luolin about something, and she naturally didn't know the content of the conversation, but the curiosity and anxiety in her heart gradually increased, and she became more and more uneasy.

Yu Ming knew what she was worried about, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, but at this moment, she still held back her tears, and said to Tang Guxi: "Miss, don't worry, Master won't do anything to Lin Nuxia and them." ”

"I'm not worried about what Master will do to them, but ...... Rather, they wonder what is there to talk about between them? Tang Guxi turned around and looked at Yu Ming, "Before you left, did Master inquire about them?" ”

Yuming shook her head, "Master didn't say anything. ”

"That's weird......"

She looked at the three of them from afar, and it wasn't until they had said everything and walked in this direction that she turned around and pretended to pack her bags, so that they wouldn't discover their doubts. But no matter how well she pretended, the three extremely smart people had already seen her thoughts, but they didn't say it explicitly.

Since the death of Ling Niang, Liu Wugang has also calmed down, no longer crying and screaming, and no longer crying and sentimental, but he didn't say a word, describing him as withered, as if he had changed a person, and he was too haggard for a while. His eyes were glazed, his lips were white, his hair hung messily in front of his eyes, and he walked towards a horse without saying a word, carrying the wrapped Ling Niang tightly behind him.

One of the people brought by Zou Li also returned to the horse one by one, and one of them gave up the horse to Liu Wugang, helped him onto the horse, and then tied the corpse behind him with hemp rope to prevent him from falling.

"From now on, you should be more careful." Tang Guxi said to Lin Luo Lin Xun, her eyes were still red, and then she smiled reluctantly, "I'm still waiting for the two of you to come back to learn the sword, don't you want to escape!" ”

Lin Xun smiled lightly: "Naturally not, how can we escape your eldest lady's palm?" ”

Tang Guxi grinned, her teeth were like snow, and after laughing, she took a deep breath, nodded, and arched her hands: "Farewell." ”

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After speaking, she glanced at the two of them again, turned her head to look at Huang Jiang and them, then turned around and got on the horse, and bent down to pull Yuming up. She and Yuming pulled the reins, but there were all kinds of tastes in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say anymore, as if a thousand words were condensed in their hearts, and any more words were nonsense.

After Zou Li got on the horse, he took a group of people, together with Liu Wugang and Tang Guxi, and immediately turned the horse's head and embarked on the return journey.

For a while, the mountain road was full of smoke and dust, and the rolling horses' hooves rushed by, and disappeared at the end of the mountain road in a blink of an eye. Lin Luo and Lin Xun stared at the gradually blurred herd of horses in the distance, until they were completely out of sight, then turned around to pack up their belongings, and picked up their swords and got back on the road.
