Chapter 496: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth
Xiao Ding led everyone to the City God Temple in Qifengling, west of the city, to rescue the second girl. In the City God Temple on the top of Qifengling Mountain, I really saw the second girl who had been kidnapped by Shiro Tian and others.
Everyone couldn't figure it out, did Erniu leave a letterhead saying that she was going back to Yongzhou? Why was he caught by this group of people again?
In fact, Erniu heard the quarrel between Xiaoding and the civet that night, and when she saw that the civet resolutely refused to accept her, she was disheartened and extremely sad, and felt that she could no longer continue to stay in this Hou Mansion.
I am not familiar with everything in this Hou Mansion, and even the two maids will laugh at themselves. It was no fun to stay here, so I decided to return to Yongzhou as soon as it was dawn.
If you let Xiang Gong send it, Xiang Gong will definitely keep it in every possible way, and he will not send himself back.
So, after thinking about it, Erniu made up her mind that as long as it was dawn, she would go on the road alone.
So, on the morning of the second day of junior high school, she got up early in the morning, washed hastily, packed up her baggage, took the sword that Xiao Ding gave her, and regardless of the wind and snow outside, she went out of the house alone and walked out of the city.
Because she came out so early, there was almost no one on the street.
However, not long after she left the Hou Mansion, someone secretly followed her from behind. This person is none other than Koizumi Guisun, who is under Shiro Tanano.
It turned out that since Shiro Tano met Erniu and the girls on the street that day, he knew that Erniu was Xiaoding's woman. So I started the idea of the second girl, aren't you Tian Xiaoding strong in martial arts? We can't beat you, but we can take advantage of the people around you. What's more, when I met that chick that day, she looked very good, and it would definitely be cool to get it in your hands and play with it.
He couldn't help but secretly hate in his heart: Tian Xiaoding, if you destroy my legs and feet, I will play with you woman! Hum!
So, after Shiro Tano returned, he sent four samurai under his command to take turns secretly watching the movements of the Hou Mansion every day. As long as the women in the Hou Mansion that day, some of them went out of the mansion alone, they immediately followed quietly, and if they could be caught, it would be the best, and if they couldn't be caught, then they would come back as soon as possible to deliver the letter.
What I am secretly staring at near the Hou Mansion today is this Xiaoquan Guisun. After he saw that Erniu left the Hou Mansion alone, he followed behind and followed secretly.
Gradually getting farther and farther away from the Hou Mansion, Koizumi Guisun felt that even if he stepped forward to arrest the little girl now, he would not alarm the people of the Hou Mansion. Only then did he step forward quickly and shouted: "The bottom of the front, the bottom of the flower girl, hurry up and stop working at the bottom!" ”
Koizumi Guisun's official language is not good, so he always brings some of their accent to the Great Fuso Kingdom.
Erniu was walking in front of her, and suddenly she heard someone shouting from Fanbang, and when she looked back, she immediately recognized that it was one of the several people from the Great Fusang country she met on the street on the day she entered the city.
She knew that the people of the Great Fusang Country had bad intentions towards her, so she ran wildly.
Koizumi returned to his grandson and chased after him.
However, the second girl is not familiar with this Zhongzhou City. Running around, she ran in the wrong direction, and could no longer recognize which road was the same way she came.
However, Koizumi returned to his grandson, but he still chased after him.
The second girl ran in front and ran near the city gate.
Seeing the city gate, the second girl thought about it, out of the city, not far from the river, and when she got on the boat, the person behind would definitely not be able to catch up with her.
So, she ran straight to the city gate.
At this time, not long after the soldiers defending the city opened the city gate, they suddenly saw a little girl running quickly, and then swooped out of the city. Immediately afterwards, followed by a short middle-aged man, who also swooped out of the city.
At this time, the second girl was a little confused by Xiaoquan Guisun, and she didn't even think about asking the soldiers guarding the city for help.
After all, she is still young and inexperienced, and she has not experienced any major events, so it is normal for her to be nervous after the incident.
In fact, even if she asked for help from the gatekeeper, it might not work, and the soldier was definitely not Koizumi Guisun's opponent.
Due to the wind and snow, the field of vision was restricted, and the mind was a little short-circuited, after the second girl went out of the city, she panicked and did not run to the river, but went all the way to the west and ran wildly.
Koizumi returned to his grandson and shouted, "Yeongxi!" You are a flower girl, stop working at the bottom, or you will die! ”
In fact, he also wondered in his heart, how could he say that he was also a samurai of the Great Fusang Kingdom, why couldn't he catch up with a little girl? How did he know that Er Niu had now entered the second layer of Qi Training, and the aura in her body at this time was much more abundant than before, and her running speed was naturally very fast.
What the second girl was thinking about was running to the river to take a boat. As a result, running and running, a mountain suddenly appeared in the wind and snow in front of him. This mountain range is Qifeng Ridge. Only then did she realize that she had run the wrong way.
She looked back at Koizumi Guisun, who had been chasing after her, and thought that she had already run over anyway, so it was better to go to the mountains and forests to hide first. What's more, if she doesn't return to Zhongzhou City at this time, she can't tell which way to go to the river. And that annoying Fanbang man is blocking his way and chasing him.
So, the second girl went into the mountain forest.
After Koizumi returned to his grandson and came to the outside of the mountain forest, he followed the footprints of Erniu on the snow in the forest to look for Erniu. But as soon as he walked into the forest, he was greeted with a whoosh, and a small crossbow arrow half a foot long was fired.
Koizumi Guisun hurriedly dodged away. After all, he is also a person who has practiced ninjutsu, and his body is much faster than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.
After avoiding the crossbow arrows, Koizumi was shocked into a cold sweat when he returned to Sun, and he didn't dare to continue moving forward. As the saying goes: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent!" "Koizumi is also afraid of losing his life.
So he shouted, "I've been guarding the outside, and you've been hiding inside." How long can I see you can hide? ”
After the second girl broke into the mountains and forests, she remembered that she still had a beaded crossbow in her baggage. This is a self-defense weapon that Xiao Ding equipped each of his family members with when he was in Luoxia Village.
Because of the encounter with Koizumi returning to his grandson, the second girl was nervous and forgot for a while that she still had this weapon. At this time, she remembered, so she quickly took it out, hid behind a tree, and shot a crossbow arrow at Xiaoquan Guisun, who had just walked into the mountain forest.
Unexpectedly, Koizumi Guisun was very agile, and he actually dodged away. And then he refused to go into the forest again.
Xiaoquan Guisun shouted outside the mountains and forests for a while, and then quietly left and went back to Zhongzhou City to find helpers.
Erniu heard Koizumi Guisun say that he was going to keep watch outside, so she stupidly believed it. She didn't want to die here, so she secretly walked deeper into the mountains and forests. She tried to find another way out.
However, the mountains are deep and dense, and for those old hunters who often go into the mountains, they sometimes get lost. What's more, Erniu is just a little girl with little experience in wild survival. In addition, the sight in the wind and snow was also affected, so the second girl was lost in this mountain forest.
She went from morning to night, hungry and never found her way out. At the same time, because it had been windy and snowy all day, the footprints she had made when she walked in earlier were gradually filled in by the snow foam blown by the strong wind.
This time, she was completely disoriented.
At night, the second girl was tired, tired and hungry. She had no choice but to find a leeward rock, and endured the cat all night, as if she were asleep for a few hours.
At this time, she regretted a little in her heart, regretting that she shouldn't have secretly run out of the Hou Mansion without permission. I don't know if Xiang Gong will come out to look for him after seeing the letter he left. Now it would be nice to have Xianggong by his side, he can come up with a way to solve anything.
At dawn, she picked up some clean snow and swallowed it in her stomach. It was so cold that her body shivered. Hurriedly running the exercises, a few weeks later, the chill that had just entered the body was expelled from the body.
After feeling less uncomfortable in her stomach, she continued to observe the terrain and try to find a way out of the forest.
However, the wind and snow still did not stop, and the field of vision was still not wide enough. Erniu suddenly remembered that when Xianggong went to Luoxia Mountain to look for Mei Ruoshuang among the Mei sisters, he told after coming back from the mountain that people who entered the mountain would make a mark in the mountains and forests in order to prevent them from getting lost.
So she thought that it might be easier to get out and avoid running around by making a mark by herself, and she didn't know if she was going around in circles before.
With this idea, Erniu found her way again a lot more smoothly, she went in one direction, and every time she walked a distance, she made a clear mark. In this way, she only needs to compare the two markers to form a straight line, and she will not go in the wrong direction.
She believes that as long as she follows the same direction, sooner or later she will get out of this mountain forest.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for her to discover a high-walled compound in the forest in front of her.
Erniu was very happy to see someone's house, as long as she met someone and inquired, she would know how to go.
But when she came to the gate, she was still a little disappointed, only to see the plaque above the door read: "Jingxi City God Temple" a few big characters. She learned to read and write with Zheng Dieer, so she naturally knew these words.
As a person in this era, Er Niu has heard of the City God Temple, which is usually built by the people together to raise funds to worship the City God God, or by some squires and local tyrants. There are generally no people living in this city god temple, and there will be no monks, nuns, Taoist priests and the like.
However, the second girl saw that the temple door was empty, so she also pushed the door and walked in. When she saw the messy footprints in the courtyard, she became happy again, and if there were footprints, there would naturally be people, and someone could ask for directions themselves.
However, what Er Niu didn't expect was that the people in the hall were not the people she wanted to see. They are the same people as Shiro Tano and Dugu Crippled.
It turned out that Xiaoquan Guisun hurriedly ran back to Zhongzhou City, and even not far from the city, he also met Xiao Ding who went out of the city to find the second girl, but he didn't pay attention to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding didn't pay attention to him.
When he returned to his lodgings, he gave a detailed account of what had just happened. And said that along the footprints in the snow, you will definitely be able to catch up with Erniu.
So, Shiro Tano immediately moved his mind. He took his four men out of the city directly and went straight to Qifengling.
The mountain forest where the second girl got lost is the mountain forest of Qifengling.
After Shiro Tano led the four of them to the outside of the mountain forest, when they went to check the footprints in the snow, the footprints on the snow had long been covered by the wind and snow.
After a brief search in the mountains and forests, they all walked out disappointed.
Seeing that there was a mountain road next to it that could lead to the mountain, the five of them climbed to the top of the mountain along the mountain road.
On the top of the mountain, there are still mountains and forests everywhere. They carefully identified the path in the snow and saw a trail that led to the back of the forest. So they walked along the path to the back of the woods.
After passing through the forest, they also discovered this temple of the City God.
When the five of them entered the temple, they found that the temple had already been inhabited by people. The people who live there are none other than the head of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Dugu Remnant, the Lord of the Spirit Castle, Wan Qixing, the Lord of the Earth Evil Valley, and his senior brother Youyangzi, a total of four people.
These four people have been hiding in this temple since the defeat of the previous usurper emperor Song Yinding, and they escaped from the palace that night.
This temple is usually inaccessible, and only on holidays will people come to worship.
A few people are hiding here, but they are also at ease.
Early this morning, before they had even gotten up, they heard someone in the courtyard.
The gate of this temple is closed all year round, in order to facilitate the people to come and offer incense. Therefore, after Dugu and the others moved in, they didn't care about the temple door.
They are all strong martial arts people, and the people who came from the courtyard were still shouting loudly, and they were awakened even in their sleep. You know, they've been living here for a month or two, and no one has come.
Hear someone coming today? Could it be that the people from the government came to arrest them?
So he immediately got up from the bedroom in the side hall and came out to check.
When they saw that the people who came were five short people wearing Fanbang costumes, and they were speaking the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty that was not fluent, they had already guessed that they were not from the Great Song Dynasty.
Later, when I inquired, I learned that they were from the Great Fusang Kingdom, and they came to arrest a woman from Tian Xiaoding.
As soon as a few people heard Tian Xiaoding's name, they immediately came to their senses.
As the saying goes: the enemy of the enemy is a friend, even if they can't be friends, they are willing to join forces to deal with the enemy.
So these people hit it off here and decided to find a way to join forces to kill Tian Xiaoding.
was planning this in the main hall, and the second girl outside the door suddenly broke in.
This is simply a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!
When Erniu saw that five of these people in the hall were trying to capture her little Japan, it was too late to turn around and run away.
The people in the hall are all strong in martial arts. Those little Japanese know how to do ninjutsu, and their bodies are extremely fast. At this time, when they saw the second girl, how could they be willing to let the second girl escape?
As soon as Erniu turned around, before she could run, these people had already surrounded her.
She took out her crossbow and fired it at them.
It's a pity that she was nervous and flustered at this time, and she didn't even have much accuracy with the crossbow. In addition, these people are strong in martial arts, and when they saw her take out their crossbow arrows, they had already taken precautions, so she didn't shoot anyone.
And at this moment, those little Japanese suddenly used ninjutsu, came to Erniu's side invisibly, and suddenly appeared to restrain Erniu.
Then they dragged her into the main hall and tied her to the pillars.
Shiro Tano wanted to take the second girl directly back to his residence in Zhongzhou City, and enjoy this little beauty by himself. But he was stopped by Dugu and others.
The purpose of Dugu and the others is to want Tian Xiaoding's life, not to play with this chick. So, they wanted to use Erniu to lure Tian Xiaoding over, and strive to use the hostages to make Tian Xiaoding crippled first, and then kill him together.
At this time, Koizumi Guisun also reminded Tian Ye Shiro on the side, saying that Tian Xiaoding is now looking for this chick everywhere, and if he brings it back to the city, he is afraid that Tian Xiaoding's people will find out.
When Shiro Tian heard it, he felt that what everyone said made sense, so he didn't ask to take the second girl back.
Then he asked Xiaoquan to return to his grandson, go to the Hou Mansion to deliver a letter, and lure Tian Xiaoding to come to this City God Temple so that they could kill him together.
So, Xiao Ding and everyone came to the City God Temple in Qifengling.
