Chapter 456: Black and White
After the wolf and the others got lost, they found a tea stall to ask for directions, and by the way, they ate and drank a little to recover their strength.
Just when a few people were full of food and drink and were about to go to Nanchong City, the shepherd wolf saw an acquaintance and couldn't help blurting out: "Zhuo Xia?!" Why are you here? ”
That's right, the person the shepherd wolf saw was Zhuo Xia under the Six Princes.
On that day, Zhuo Xia had seen through the shepherd's pretense to take refuge, and said that he would not break it, he just wanted to follow the shepherd. But the shepherd wolf let him survive, and then, Zhuo Xia disappeared as if he had disappeared in the world, and in the last battle in the Donglin City Palace, Zhuo Xia was not seen from beginning to end.
Mu Tian Wolf didn't understand, how could this Zhuo Xia, who hadn't appeared until the death of the Sixth Prince Long Cuo, suddenly appear in Shu......
Zhuo Xia was also taken aback, how could anyone still recognize him in such a place?
Since Mu Tian Wolf and the others had taken off their masks, Zhuo Xia looked back and saw Mu Tian Wolf and the others, and suddenly looked confused, "I don't know who you are?" Why do you know the following? ”
Although Zhuo Xia didn't know anyone else, he recognized He Tianfang and said busily: "General He?!" Why are you here? It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Now that I have found General He, I can be considered saved! ”
The shepherd wolf and the others heard it in a fog, why were you saved inexplicably......
The shepherd wolf gave He Tian a look, signaling him to stabilize Zhuo Xia first, but not to expose everyone's identities. He Tianfang understood and said busily: "Zhuo Xia, you come over first, and we will talk slowly." ”
Zhuo Xia could also see that He Tianfang and the others seemed to have something unspeakable, so he sat down at the table very obediently and said, "General He, who are you?" ”
The shepherd wolf pressed Zhuo Xia's shoulder with one hand and said, "Zhuo Xia, didn't you say you wanted to follow me?" Why don't you even know me now? ”
Only then did Zhuo Xia realize that the gentle young man in front of him who recognized him was actually the legendary blue-faced fanged shepherd wolf...... Zhuo Xia's jaw was about to drop, "This ...... You, you're ......"
The shepherd wolf hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Shhh...... This is not the place to speak, we are now borrowing someone else's identity to sneak into Shudi, this is our general Wu Zicheng! ”
Zhuo Xia saw that Mu Tian Wolf's hand was pointing at Wu Zicheng who Zuo Youying was pretending to be, and he quickly reacted, after all, the current Shu Land is already another country in the strict sense. A country that belongs to Yu Hualong's father and son.
Zhuo Xia nodded, indicating that he understood, and then Mu Tian Wolf continued: "Zhuo Xia, why did you appear in Shudi?" ”
Zhuo Xia seemed to be frightened by something, his face was dusty, his lips were chapped, and he could see that it was not easy for him to run over this way, as if he was avoiding someone......
Jing Yi was meticulously observant, hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhuo Xia, and said, "Moisten your throat and speak slowly." ”
Zhuo Xia was not polite, he was indeed a little thirsty now, and he poured a sigh of relief, and then slowly told the story of the matter......
……
In fact, Zhuo Xia had long intended to follow the Shepherd Wolf, since Long Cuo sent him to monitor the Shepherd Wolf's Xiao Cavalry General's Mansion, he gradually liked the life of a headhunter, and he also drank wine with the headhunters and made friends.
Later, Long Cuo and Li Yuan united and killed Yang Cunbao, the son of the general of Weicai, and wanted to blame Yi Fengxing, Zhuo Xia involuntarily participated in it, which led to friction with Wei Chishan, Zhang Ting and others, and the relationship became relatively stiff. But Zhuo Xia still wanted to join the headhunter in his heart.
It wasn't until that day that Zhuo Xia saw that the shepherd wolf was not sincerely seeking refuge in the Six Princes, that he already understood that the Six Princes would definitely be defeated. And Zhuo Xia thought that the kindness given to him by the six princes was almost the same over the years, so Zhuo Xia put forward the idea of wanting to follow the shepherd wolf, but the shepherd wolf let him live.
So, that night, Zhuo Xia simply did not appear in the palace, because he knew that with his martial arts, fighting with such a large group of people with martial arts spirits would definitely only be used as cannon fodder.
Zhuo Xia watched all this from a distance outside the palace, until he found out that the second prince and Yu Ziqiu had also come......
Zhuo Xia knew Yu Ziqiu, and he also knew that he was never Yu Ziqiu's opponent, so he had been observing in the shadows, and he wanted to know what the conspiracy between Long Yuan and Yu Ziqiu was.
However, the conspiracy was not seen, but he saw Yu Ziqiu defeat Mu Qinghong, and in order to save Mu Qinghong's life, the county lord of Dangyang obediently followed Long Yuan and Yu Ziqiu......
Zhuo Xia has always been in the capital, so he naturally heard of the relationship between the county lord of Dangyang and the shepherd wolf, so he simply followed Yu Ziqiu and Long Yuan all the way, all the way from Donglin City to Rongzhou City, and then from Rongzhou City to Chengdu City!
After arriving in Chengdu, Zhuo Xia knew that he would definitely not be able to fight Yu Ziqiu with his own strength, so he left Chengdu, intending to go to the shepherd wolf to report the news, but the accident happened again......
Not long after Zhuo Xia left Chengdu City, he was targeted by a group of masters, chasing and killing all the way, Zhuo Xia was also like a headless fly, fortunately, those people seemed to want to catch him alive, so he did not hurt Zhuo Xia's life, Zhuo Xia ran all the way from Chengdu to Minchi Ancient Town near Nanchong City.
……
After listening to Zhuo Xia's words, Mu Tian Wolf hurriedly said: "So, the county lord is in Chengdu City at the moment?" ”
Zhuo Xia nodded and said: "That's true, I followed them all the way, and I witnessed the county lord of Dangyang follow the second prince and Yu Ziqiu into Chengdu City!" ”
He Tianfang also sighed and said, "Hey, if I knew that we would also chase after us from the waterway!" Why didn't I think they would go to Rongzhou City by water......"
Jing Yi on the side interrupted: "Okay, now is not the time to dwell on these, at the beginning of the heavy rain, all traces on the road have been washed clean, and there are so many roads into Shu, we have no way to catch up, and now we know that the county lord arrived in Chengdu safely, which means that our direction is still not wrong!" ”
Yi Fengxing paid attention to another point, and said: "Zhuo Xia, are you saying that there are people chasing you along the way, and they are capturing but not killing, as long as they live?" ”
When Zhuo Xia heard this, he couldn't help but be annoyed, "That's right! But I have no grudge against these people, and I don't understand why they are chasing me so hard! Now I have met the pastoral ...... When I met General Wu Zicheng, I was finally able to vent my anger for me! ”
The Shepherd Wolf patted Zhuo Xia on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, these people will be handed over to me!" Zhuo Xia, thank you this time......"
Zhuo Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Why thank you, since I have decided to follow the general, I definitely need a little credit to make a nomination!" and the last time he killed Yang Cunbao to blame Gongzi Youlong, Zhuo Xia was really ashamed to speak......"
Yi Fengxing was very generous, "At the beginning, it was just that everyone was the master, so you don't have to pay attention to these little things, and now everyone is friends!" What's more, we didn't pay attention to the little tricks of Long Cuo and Li Yuan at all. ”
Pei Qihu was a big ghost, and he answered: "Those who want to capture Brother Zhuo Xia alive won't be the masters of the Tubo Temple that the two monks said before, right?" I heard what they said just now, the masters of the Tubo Temple are going around in Shu to arrest martial arts masters, and Brother Zhuo Xia won't be affected by the pond fish, right? ”
Not to mention, these two things seem to be somewhat related when you think about them carefully.
However, Zhuo Xia said with a puzzled expression: "The master of the Tubo Temple? No, it's not like, although the people who chased me were all black-robed and masked, they were definitely not Tubo people, and their martial arts were also the style of our domain, so they shouldn't have much to do with the Tubo Temple......"
After listening to Zhuo Xia's words, everyone became even more curious, what was Yu Hualong doing, why Shuzhong was in a mess, he still sat back and ignored it.
Thinking of this, the shepherd wolf couldn't help but say loudly: "Zhuo Xia, you went to Chengdu, did you inquire about the whereabouts of the hussar general Yu Hualong?" Is he in Chengdu at the moment? ”
Zhuo Xia thought for a moment and said: "Yu Hualong should not be in Chengdu City, because I have heard Yu Ziqiu talk about it from afar, he said that if Yu Hualong returns to Chengdu and sees the county lord of Dangyang, he will definitely be very happy, so Yu Hualong should not be in Chengdu now!" ”
At this point, there were different opinions in the team again!
He Tianfang took the lead and said: "Since Yu Hualong is not in Chengdu, then he must be at the foot of the Tubo Divine Mountain, but now that Shuzhong is in chaos, and the Tubo people are committing murder everywhere, Yu Hualong doesn't care about it, which can only show that this can only show ...... Yu Hualong cooperated with the Tibetans. ”
Pei Qihu also agreed with He Tianfang's point of view, and said: "I think Brother Tianfang is right, Yu Hualong must have made some deal with the Tubo people at this moment!" Otherwise, how could he allow the Tubo people to wantonly capture martial arts masters in Shudi? Should we go to the Tibetan Sacred Mountain first to find out the truth, and then tell the king of the backer? ”
He Tianfang and Pei Qihu were both loyal and brave generals of the imperial court, and the education they received always made them habitually put the safety of the empire first.
Therefore, He Tianfang and Pei Qihu mean to go to the Tubo Divine Mountain first, find Yu Hualong to find out the truth, and then work with the backer Wang Longying to smash the conspiracy of Yu Hualong and the Tubo people!
But the shepherd wolf doesn't care about the empire at all, the conspiracy of Yu Hualong, or the tricks of the Tubo people...... He only cares about the county lord now, and he wants to save the county lord back!
So, the shepherd wolf said: "I have already said, I don't want to take care of these idle things, you have to take care of you, I just want to go to the county lord!" When I find the county lord, I will naturally go to the Tubo Temple, and as for Yu Hualong, as long as he doesn't interfere in the affairs between me and the Tubo Temple, I don't bother to be an enemy of him. ”
In fact, the fact that the Shepherd Wolf is not an enemy of Yu Hualong can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and it is impossible. When the shepherd wolf arrives in Chengdu, can Yu Ziqiu still live? Once Yu Ziqiu dies, is it possible that the shepherd wolf will not be the enemy of Yu Hualong?
But He Tianfang didn't agree with Mu Tian Wolf's idea at the moment, "Mu ...... Brothers! I'm Qiang'er's own brother, and I care about her too, no less than you! But obviously, she is not in any danger for the time being, but once Yu Hualong really cooperates with the Tubo people, do you think Shu Di can return to the jurisdiction of the empire? Aren't so many people in Shu having to worry day and night? Brother, we should focus on the overall situation, first investigate the conspiracy of Yu Hualong and the Tubo people, and ensure the stability of Shudi! ”
Pei Qihu pursed his mouth and did not speak, but it was obvious that he also supported He Tianfang's point of view in his heart.
But the shepherd wolf still insisted on his opinion, "I am not a person who wants to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly, and I am not as noble as you. I just want to go through my own path smoothly, try to pay off the debts I owe, and protect the people I want to protect! ”
After speaking, the shepherd wolf stood up, turned over his horse, and then said: "If you want to go to Nanchong City, and then follow me in Chengdu, if you want to go to the empire and the people, go to Shenshan." ”
The shepherd wolf didn't want to force it, and after saying it clearly, he immediately rode to Nanchong City. Except for He Tianfang and Pei Qihu, the others must be willing to follow the Shepherd Wolf, because they are not very noble people.
In the end, He Tianfang sighed, and still kept up with Pei Qihu in the footsteps of the Sky Wolf......
Seeing that there was no one on the way, He Tianfang said with joy and anger: "Shepherd Wolf, I really haven't seen that you have such deep feelings for Qiang'er!" As an older brother, I am very grateful for your choice and very grateful for your affection for Qiang'er. But, as a general, I despise you from the bottom of my heart! Is your choice a choice that a general should make? ”
The Heavenly Wolf glanced at He Tian and said, "I am no longer the general of the Heavenly Dragon Country, and I have never had the idea of working for the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom!" Worrying about the country and the people, that's what you people who have read the books of the sages have done, I am a wicked person, I was born to walk in darkness, and I have no sense of belonging to your sunny path......"
But after listening to the words of the Shepherd Wolf, Jing Yi, Yi Fengxing and others all knew that this was the extremely disobedient words of the Shepherd Wolf.
The only night Mu Tianluo was drunk, and it was also the first time he confided in his heart, and what he envied the most was He Tianfang and Pei Qihu, who were generals like him, who were upright and upright and served the country and the people......
The shepherd wolf yearns for the light in his heart, but he has been avoiding the light, probably staying in the dark for too long, thinking that the sun is dazzling.
Whether it is the Heavenly Dragon Country, or the people of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, there is an invisible, touchable, but insurmountable gap between the Heavenly Wolf and the Heavenly Wolf, and no one can accept each other......
