Chapter 33: Deliverance
Wu Sheng came to King Rui's mansion early in the morning on the order of King Rui, he was a close confidant of Liang Yinhuan, and he had been with King Rui when he was in Fuzhou, never abandoned, and the emotions of the two had already jumped out of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, more like friends in distress who lived and died together. This time, King Rui returned to the capital, and Wu Sheng also returned to King Rui's mansion together.
When Wu Sheng saw King Rui, he bowed down and said, "Your Highness, are you looking for me?" ”
King Rui didn't answer, but simply said, "Wu Sheng, you are ready to go to Fengshan with me." ”
"Kaedeyama? What is Your Highness doing there? Wu Sheng was surprised. Wu Sheng was the king of Rui, Liang Yinhuan, and later he was driven to the fiefdom, and Wu Sheng also followed the king of Rui to the barren land. This
Due to the special identity of the Lingshan Gang, Qiu Feng also repeatedly emphasized that the cooperation between them should not be revealed to anyone for the time being, so King Rui only replied vaguely: "Just meet a friend, let's just go." ”
"Yes!" Although Wu Sheng felt strange about his master's behavior, he didn't inquire anymore, and said, "But Fengshan is on the outskirts of the capital, after all, it is remote, should Your Highness bring a few more guards?" ”
"No, it's troublesome when there are too many people." King Rui said without thinking, and suddenly a sentence from Qiu Feng crossed his mind.
"I heard that there are many wild beasts in this season, and His Royal Highness can bring more guards and cronies in Xia Jian, just in case."
King Rui paused for a moment, and finally the ghost changed his mind and said, "Let's bring two more guards." ”
Maple Mountain, as the name suggests, is known for its maple leaves. In the current season, the mountains are full of reddish-brown maple leaves, like a glow and flames, beautiful like a fairyland. King Rui stood on the top of the mountain with a majestic spirit, the autumn wind was wheezing, and his clothes were fluttering, which set off the prince's arrogant bearing. This is the meeting place he agreed with the leader of the Lingshan Gang, but now an hour has passed since the original agreed time, and he hasn't even seen a figure.
King Rui still looked indifferent, but his thin lips were pursed to reveal his impatience at the moment. Wu Sheng couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that the master had been waiting here for so long, but the other party had not arrived for a long time. "Your Highness, you have been waiting for so long, this person has not come yet, and he doesn't take His Highness seriously!" Wu Sheng is a person who practices martial arts, and he has always been a gut to the end, and at this time, regardless of King Rui's mood, he just said what was in his heart so bluntly.
"It seems that the other party will not show up today. Forget it, let's go! King Rui sighed heavily, the corners of his mouth curled up in a self-deprecating arc. I thought to myself: That unserious Qiu Feng really can't believe it.
King Rui led his guards down the mountain according to the same path, and when he was halfway up the mountain, Liang Yinhuan suddenly faintly heard a strange rustling sound in the distance, and he looked around vigilantly. Since he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people. In the silent and gloomy forest path, the autumn wind crossed the branches and leaves and came the rustling sound of Suosuo, getting closer and closer, like ripples, spreading out layer by layer, echoing echoes, sounding very strange.
Seeing the master's appearance like this, Wu Sheng and the others couldn't help but become a little nervous, and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”
But when King Rui listened attentively, there was nothing strange around. Liang Yinhuan guessed that maybe it was just the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, and turned his head and said, "It's nothing, maybe I'm making too much of a fuss." Let's go!"
"Help! Help me!! ”
A few people just wanted to leave, and the man's clear cry for help came from a distance, and this time everyone heard it clearly.
Wu Sheng pointed to the east side of the mountain and said anxiously: "Your Highness, it's a voice from that direction!" ”
"Let's go! Check it out! Rui Wang said without hesitation, and a group of people immediately ran after Fang Cai's call.
When Liang Yinhuan arrived at the scene, he saw several black-clothed men chasing and blocking a man. Without knowing the situation of the battle, they chose to hide in the shadows and probed the battle situation at this time. There were about five or six men in black, each of whom was armed with a sharp sword and his face covered with a black cloth, and his martial arts skills were all extraordinary. Liang Yinhuan thought to himself, if he didn't guess wrong, these men in black should be a group of killers, and the target was the man in a gorgeous costume who was alone. But who is that man? How many killers need to be used?
The man ran more and more panting, running slower and slower, and suddenly his feet slipped and he flipped over fiercely. When he got up again, the people in black had already chased after him, and the swords in his hands glowed with a faint cold light, as if they were eagerly waiting for a mouthful of red blood. Seeing that he was already dead, the man shouted to the empty mountain forest for the last time in despair: "Help! ”
It was also this last shout that made King Rui clearly see the face of the man who was being hunted down, it was a face he knew, and this person was none other than Wei Ming, the minister of Zhongshu Ling.
How could Wei Ming be here alone? And who sent these men who were chasing him? There are too many questions lingering in Liang Yinhuan's heart, but the current situation can't help him think too much. Seeing that the man in black was about to attack, Liang Yinhuan pulled out the sword at his waist without thinking about it, and attacked the black man directly.
The sudden appearance of the outsider made the man in black stunned, and the sword move in his hand couldn't help but slow down a few beats, plus King Rui's move was clean and neat, as fast as the wind, and he was forced to retreat step by step after a few moves. The man in black had murderous intent in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at the accomplice behind him. Suddenly, five or six black-clothed people made killing moves at the same time, rushing straight towards King Rui.
Seeing that the sharp blade was getting closer and closer to King Rui, King Rui did not move an inch, and the corners of his mouth even raised a smug smile. The man in black who was running at the front couldn't help but be stunned, and just felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, a few more men suddenly appeared behind King Rui, and he forcibly resolved the killing move of the man in black.
In the quiet and peaceful mountains and forests, the two sides are fighting, the sword is sweeping, the severed branches and leaves are floating in the air, falling and rising, raising and falling, with a little beauty in the killing.
When the attack is launched, it is also the time when the weakness of the person is completely exposed, and Liang Yinhuan takes this opportunity to join the battle, swinging the sword neatly and cleanly, without dragging the mud and water. Ruiwang's side coordinated well with offense and defense, and the situation gradually gained the upper hand. The man in black saw that his appearance was not good, and it was not suitable for a long battle, so the leader of the team blew a loud whistle, and everyone immediately fled. In addition to the killers' ruthless tricks, the light skills are also excellent, and the kung fu is gone in the blink of an eye.
Wu Sheng just wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Liang Yinhao in time. "Don't go, poor don't chase." He turned to look at Wei Ming on the side, and asked with concern, "Lord Wei, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Rui came to the rescue. His Royal Highness's life-saving grace today, the old man will never forget it in this life. Wei Ming took a deep look, "I wonder how His Highness appeared here?" ”
"Oh, this king sees that autumn has been getting stronger recently, so I specially wanted to come to Fengshan to see the beautiful scenery of the maple forest, but I didn't expect to meet Lord Wei here." Liang Yinhao didn't mention the Lingshan Gang, and asked, "Lord Wei, why did you appear alone in Fengshan?" ”
