Chapter 144: The Old Man Meets
"What happened today is really thrilling," said one of the guards at the gate, "Seeing so many people gathered in front of the city gate, did Lao Tzu think that there was going to be a big battle?" ”
"Fortunately, Yang Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard led this group of victims away, otherwise if there was a big battle, it would be difficult to say whether you and I could stand here." Another guard said.
"Even if you don't fight a big fight, you won't be able to stand here." A strange yin and yang voice came out of nowhere.
The two jumped up as if they had been suddenly shocked, pulled out their sabers at their waists and said tremblingly: "Who, who is talking?" Come out"
A black shadow fell silently behind them, with a palm like a knife, everything behind the necks of the two, and the two of them snorted, and fell to the ground motionless.
"Is it all settled?" A woman in black hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Deputy Banner Master," the man bowed and said, "the entire South Gate is already under control. ”
"Well," Xing Jiangyan nodded with satisfaction, "Continue the search, from now on, you can't let anyone approach the south gate." ”
"Yes," the man replied, bowing.
......
A carriage ran through the silence of the moonlit night to the south gate, and the city gate was opened with a bang. The carriage did not rush out of the city, but stopped, lifted the curtains, and stretched out a slender hand.
A man in black hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to stand solemnly.
The person inside didn't speak, and the slender hand pointed back.
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" The man in black bowed in response.
After the slender hand retracted the curtain, the carriage moved and headed out of the city gates.
When the carriage was submerged in the night, the gates were slammed shut again.
......
Not long after, a "creaking" sound broke the silence of the street in front of the south gate, and a man in black stepped forward quickly, looking at it. I saw an ox cart full of huge wooden barrels slowly coming to the south gate.
"Open the door" The man in black waved his hand to the men behind him, and the city gate opened again.
The rusty wheels of the ox cart made an unpleasant creak and slowly drove out of the city gates. At this moment, a sharp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and they marched quickly towards the south gate.
The man in black looked cold, and without waiting for all the ox carts to leave the city gate, he hurriedly shouted: "Close the city gate quickly." ”
The two huge doors rumbled and moved, and by the time the ox cart had just left the gate, the gate had been slammed shut.
......
"Don't close the city gate" Yang Muyun saw the city gate open, so he shouted loudly on the horse. But seeing the vehicle he was tracking out of the city gate, but no one stopped him, he couldn't help but be as anxious as a star, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to the city gate.
"How did you do that?" Yang Muyun rushed to the city gate and stopped his horse, and angrily reprimanded the people around him: "How do you guard this city gate when you open the door and let people out of the city late at night?" ”
"Yang Qianhu has a big temper," a man in black came to Yang Muyun, staring at him with a pair of eyes with a playful look, "What's the matter, aren't you satisfied with the city gate we guard?" As he spoke, he tore off the black scarf that covered his face.
"How are you?" Yang Muyun's eyes widened, he jumped off the horse with a rub, took two steps back, and pulled out his knife with a "choking" sound, "You actually dare to come back?" ”
A face full of resentment was revealed under the black scarf, and it was Xing Jiangyan, the deputy flag master of the Golden Thread Banner. "How can I leave without taking off your head," he snorted as he glanced around, "give it all to me, kill him, and avenge the death of my brothers and sisters in the church." ”
A cold light suddenly appeared, and Xing Jiangyan's subordinates drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another and surrounded Yang Muyun.
Yang Muyun's face tightened, and he turned around and ran towards the outside of the gate of the city tower.
"Don't let him run away," Xing Jiangyan flipped his wrist, and a pair of mandarin duck short knives were already in his hands, "Catch up with him, whether you live or die." On tiptoe to the ground, the whole person pounced towards Yang Muyun like a big bird.
Yang Muyun turned out of the city gate hole, ran to the right along the stone steps of the city gate tower towards the city wall, the cold light flashed in front of him, and a person raised his knife and slashed at him. He was startled in his heart, and hurriedly dodged sideways, hand
His elbow was raised, and he slammed on the back of his head with a bang, and the man screamed miserably, and tumbled down the stone steps like a gourd rolling on the ground.
Just as he was about to raise his leg and continue walking, a spear stabbed him in the face again, "How many of them are coming from the bottom?" Yang Muyun broke out in a cold sweat, grabbed the head of the gun, pulled it hard, and as soon as the other party's body was crooked, he flew up and kicked him off the city wall. His gaze quickly looked into the distance, and there were no soldiers and horses galloping here, his heart sank, and his pace quickened and rushed upward.
After climbing the city wall, a group of black-clothed people came up again. Yang Muyun's figure was erratic, pointing east and west, and seven or eight people were knocked down in an instant. Suddenly a strong wind hit his face, Yang Muyun's heart froze, knowing that a master was coming, the blade turned around, and he picked it up with his backhand, "sonorous" gold and iron, he only felt a numb wrist, and a cold light went straight to his face.
Yang Muyun was startled, his left hand poked out like lightning, and he grabbed the opponent's wrist tightly with a "boom", and the tip of the short knife was only one point away from the tip of his nose. Xing Jiangyan glared at him with a resentful expression, "Zheng" The short knife in her left hand slashed across the blade of the opponent's single knife, cutting straight into Yang Muyun's throat. Yang Muyun let go of her wrist and flew back, at this time, seven or eight shining blades slashed behind him, and his figure jumped high, flipped upside down in the air, and stood lightly and skillfully on the top of the city wall.
"Huh" a rope sleeve fell on Yang Muyun's head, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the rope sleeve, and with a pull, one person flew from the crowd and fell down. The wind suddenly rose, and seven or eight spears slammed towards Yang Muyun's waist, and he didn't hesitate any longer, let out a long howl, and turned down the city......
Everyone rushed to the side of the city wall and looked down, but there was not a sound coming from the dark night.
"With such a high wall, that kid must have fallen to his death." One said.
"If you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die," Xing Jiangyan gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Go, go down and open the city gate, you must find that kid." ”
On a small hill with lush forests ten miles outside the Yanmen Gate in the south of Kaifeng City, two carriages were parked and several figures were standing. One carriage was for people to ride, and the other had a fine golden silk coffin on it.
A girl dressed in white and snow was holding a little fox with snow-white fur in her arms, like a fairy in the silver moonlight. Behind him stood Aunt Cui, Chu Mingxin, and the masked girl in a strange costume. A few men in strong suits stood motionless beside the fine golden silk nanmu coffin.
The sound of wheels rubbing against the ground broke the silence of the hill, and an oxcart full of huge wooden barrels slowly walked up the hill surrounded by trees. The ox cart came to the field where they were and stopped its wheels, and the ragged man who was driving the ox cart jumped down from the ox cart, came to the girl in white a few steps, bowed down and said, "My subordinates have seen the young master." ”
"Lao Liu, you're here," the girl in white said with a smile, nodding sideways to the men in strong suits next to the coffin.
The men in strong suits hurried to the ox cart, picked up their arms, and took the huge wooden barrels off the cart.
After the wooden barrel on the ox cart was cleaned, Lao Liu stepped forward again, lifted a wooden plank, and revealed a groove that only allowed one person to lie down, and in it was the corpse of a young man with a beautiful face, which was Zhu Zi, the second highness of the Zhou Palace.
The two men in strong suits were stepping forward to lift him, only to hear a voice say softly: "I'll carry him!" A slender figure came to the ox cart at some point, and Chu Mingxin said calmly.
Everyone stepped aside, Chu Mingxin stepped forward slowly, she didn't move Zhu Zi's body, but looked at him quietly, stretched out a hand as white as jade for a long time and gently stroked his pale and cold cheeks, "I've never seen a person as stupid as you," Chu Mingxin said softly: "Knowing that there is no result at all, you still fall in love with someone you shouldn't love without hesitation......" Her eyes were slightly red, but her voice was still very soft, "Lose your life for me, Even being removed from the family, will you regret it......" Two lines of crystal tears flowed down Chu Mingxin's jade-like cheeks and dripped on Zhu Zi's cold, lifeless face. "I just found out now that I'm a little in love with you," smiled sadly, "This may be God's punishment for me, I didn't fall in love with you until you died, and I don't deserve to have a living love anymore......" Saying that, he leaned over, hugged Zhu Zi, and looked at his lover lying in the crook of his arm, Chu Mingxin showed a sweet smile on his face, "
You're lying in my arms now, will you feel it? As he spoke, his chin moved slightly, "I feel it, I feel that you are telling me that you like to lie in my arms......" Lianbu moved lightly and walked towards the carriage that pulled the golden silk nanmu coffin.
"Young master," Aunt Cui came to the white-clothed girl and whispered, "Will Mingxin lose his heart and go crazy, and he has been talking to a dead man." ”
"Aunt Cui, you're too worried," the girl in white flashed her eyes and smiled, "Senior Sister Mingxin, she knows what she's doing, she has never liked someone, but someone died for her, she will definitely settle him down before doing what she should do." ”
Chu Mingxin gently put Zhu Zi's body into the golden silk nanmu coffin, and said softly: "I can't accompany you anymore, I still have my own things to do, after you get there, if you don't want to be reincarnated, then you just wait for me, I will definitely come to you, if there is fate, I will definitely marry you in the next life......" Speaking of this, she sobbed slightly, stared at him for a long time, and then turned around.
The coffin lid was nailed, and a group of men in strong suits jumped into the carriage, beat their horses and whipped and walked into the distance, Chu Ming looked at it obsessively, and stood there for a long time.
Lao Liu put the huge wooden barrels back onto the ox cart, and was about to turn back to the city, when he saw the girl in white beckoning to him, "Old Liu......"
"What else does the young master command?" Lao Liu bowed down and asked.
"Has anyone spotted you and followed you?" The girl in white asked.
"Don't worry, young master," Lao Liu said confidently: "When I came, most of the people in the yamen went to rest, who would be hanging out in the morgue?" ”
"That's not necessarily," the girl in white stroked the little white fox's silk-like fur, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of her lips, "Some people are much more cunning than the little fox in my arms......" A pair of eyes like autumn water looked at a quiet bush, "Do you say, Lord Yang Qianhu?" ”
The figure in the bushes flashed, Yang Muyun coughed lightly, and walked out with easy steps.
"Hello, young master!" Yang Muyun waved his hand at her from afar.
"We'll meet again, Lord Yang." The girl in white smiled, "Cuiwei Villa is goodbye, but it's only been March, and we meet again, we really have a fate between us!" ”
"Where, where?" As soon as Yang Muyun saw her, he thought of the beautiful scenery that day when he served her to bathe, his face turned slightly red, and he said: "Yang is reckless, I hope the young master will not blame!" ”
"Where are you reckless? What Lord Yang did, the little woman admired it tightly! The girl in white seemed to smile even sweeter, "Lord Yang is a talent, a man, handsome and chic, a woman, and charming." I don't know how envious I am! ”
"The young master has won the award," Yang Muyun said suddenly: "Yang had to be in love that day, and I hope that the young master will not hold a grudge against Yang!" ”
"Where do I have a grudge," the girl in white had a smile on her face, but two cold glints shot out of her eyes, "Actually, I want to see if the way you dress up as a woman is different from when you served me in the bath that day!" ”
"Oh," Yang Muyun touched his nose, his eyes kept wandering around, "The young master said that he laughed, Yang still has important matters, so I won't bother you, he has a fate, Yang should apologize to you again and say goodbye!" As soon as he turned around, he saw a figure silently stopping in front of him like a ghost. But it was the masked woman in a strange costume.
"Why wait until his day," the girl in white looked at him with a cold face, "here and now, do you still want to leave?" ”
"How are you doing?" Yang Muyun asked.
"If you are smart and sensible," the corner of the white-clothed girl's lips hooked, "just obediently tie your hands, for the sake of our past fate, I will not let you suffer from flesh and skin." If not...... "The beautiful face was cold," do you think you can still walk? ”
"You're going to kill me?" Yang Muyun said with a smile, but his hand quietly touched the handle of the knife on his waist.
"You are so handsome, so smart, and so capable," the beautiful eyes of the girl in white narrowed slightly, "Where am I willing to kill you, I will bring you to the main courtyard, I believe that the master and her old man will also appreciate you." ”
