Chapter 242: Smoke and Water
A handsome young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked briskly in the direction of the city gate, but it was Yang Muyun.
"Stand!" The officer guarding the gate stepped forward angrily, as if to vent the nameless fire in his stomach on him, "During the closure of the city, if anyone approaches the city gate without authorization, it will be punished as a crime of collaborating with the enemy." After speaking, he held the shoulder knife at his waist tightly, as if the other party was about to draw the knife when he stepped forward.
"Oh," Yang Muyun stopped his figure and looked at the city gate that was still slowly closing, "but ...... just now"
"Shut up," the officer at the gate rebuked angrily, "The affairs of the official family are also something that you can ask about as a grass citizen?" Don't hurry up and retreat, otherwise, hum ......" The hand holding the hilt of the knife was slightly mentioned, and the following words were self-evident.
"What if I'm also an official?" Yang Muyun said with a slight smile.
"What?" The officer guarding the gate was slightly stunned, and his round eyes narrowed slightly.
Yang Muyun took a few steps forward and took out a waist card and shook it in front of him, "Have you seen clearly, can I go out of the city now?" ”
The officer guarding the gate was shocked, his eyes showed a look of horror, he changed his previous domineering manner, and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency is out of the city at this time, but you have a business trip?" ”
"Of course, would I like to tell you more about it?" Yang Muyun said with a smile.
"No need, no need," the gatekeeper shook his head like a rattle, swept away the soldiers who were latching the city gate, and shouted loudly as if holding his breath: "Open the city gate quickly, hurry up, don't grind ......"
The soldiers hurriedly lifted down the latch that had just been put up.
......
looked at Yang Muyun's figure and walked out of the city gate quickly, submerging into the wilderness. This time, the soldiers did not rush to close the gate, and one of the soldiers carefully asked the officer guarding the gate, "Lord Banner, is this gate still closed?" ”
"Why, do you want to put the Tartars in the city?" The officer guarding the gate said with a dark face: "If there is the slightest mistake in this city gate, I will definitely ask you!" As he spoke, he stomped his foot heavily, turned around, and spit out two words, "Bad luck!" ”
Seeing him walk away, the soldier muttered, "You are unlucky, Lao Tzu is still unlucky, open the door for a while, close the door for a while, such a heavy latch is lifted up and down, you can try it?" ”
The carriage that came out of Huairou County galloped along the road to the east, and only slowly slowed down when it turned into a maple forest.
It's autumn, the red leaves have turned red, and the maple leaves look far away, just like a turbulent red ocean, the wind rises, and the red waves ripple; The wind stopped, the demure was like a sea of flowers, and the heaven and earth suddenly showed an unusually quiet and graceful.
The carriage galloped into the maple forest, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves accompanied by the rustle of leaves in the wind made it seem to be in a paradise.
"Thank you, girl, for coming to the rescue." A thin young man in the car said to a masked girl in green clothes that he was the young man who stole Yang Muyun's waist card. His companions crowded into one corner of the carriage, but still took up a large area.
"It's been hard for you along the way," the masked girl in Tsing Yi said lightly, although her face was covered by a scarf, her eyes were extremely beautiful, and she saw her eyes flowing, "Is that thing in hand?" ”
"Something? What is it? The skinny boy was stunned.
"Why did you come all the way, didn't Master Gao explain it to you?" The masked girl in Tsing Yi stared into his eyes and said.
"You...... How does the girl know? The thin boy looked at her in surprise.
"I can't hide it," the beautiful eyes of the masked girl in Tsing Yi flickered, "Master Gao is afraid that you will lose, so he sent me to meet you." ”
"I see," the thin boy suddenly said, "Master Gao really has a heart." ”
"What about that thing? Can it be on you now? The masked girl in Tsing Yi asked.
"This ......," the thin boy muttered, "I can't say it until I see Master Gao." ”
"I'm here on behalf of Master Gao, and it's the same as Master Gao when I tell me." The masked girl in Tsing Yi said next.
"Girl, I'm sorry," the thin young man arched his hand slightly, and his tone did not loosen at all, "Master Gao told me at that time that this thing should be handed over to him in person. ”
"Are you afraid that you won't get paid by your other half?" The masked girl in Tsing Yi chuckled, her eyes narrowing slightly
, "Don't worry, Master Gao has ordered me to bring the other half of the salary, if you hand over that thing now, I can settle the rest of the money for you immediately, and you don't have to get the Baitan Mountain Liuyun Village." ”
"But I don't know the girl," the thin boy glanced at her, and still said stubbornly, "The rules of our business are that money and goods must be settled with the owner in person." ”
"You're quite careful in what you do," the masked girl in Tsing Yi said leisurely, "Are the rules of your profession really so strict?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Doesn't the girl hear the thief and have a way," the thin young man frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "Since you have promised others, how can you break your word?" ”
"I'm just kidding, why are you so serious," the masked girl in Tsing Yi glanced at him, "Looking at your cautious appearance, it must be very difficult to get your hands on this thing." ”
"Of course," the thin young man stared, his face trembling slightly, "You know, for this thing, many people have already died." ”
"Then you have to put it away," the masked girl in Tsing Yi said coldly, "Don't follow in the footsteps of those people easily." ”
The thin boy's face tightened, and his body shook involuntarily.
......
The carriage passed through the boundless maple forest and came to a river, which meandered from the northeast to the southwest, and the large reeds by the river had turned yellow, swaying weakly in the autumn wind, showing a sense of depression.
The carriage slowly stopped, the masked girl in Tsing Yi lifted the curtain, jumped off the car lightly, walked to the river with her steps, and looked at the river, the river was murmuring, churning naughty waves from time to time, and in the distance across the river, the mountains were towering, and they were dressed in a layer of red and yellow under the autumn sun.
The thin boy and the strong man also jumped out of the car and stood behind the masked girl in Tsing Yi.
The masked girl in Tsing Yi whistled loudly, and a small boat shuttled out of the dense reeds, and a captain standing at the bow of the boat was tall and thin, wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he put the penny in his hand lightly in the water, and the boat was like an arrow from the string to the shore.
"Is that mountain Baitan Mountain?" The thin boy pointed to the slightly green mountain peak in the distance on the opposite bank and asked the masked girl in Tsing Yi.
"Well," the masked girl in Tsing Yi bowed her head slightly, and glanced sideways at him, "the road up the mountain is not easy, if you don't want to follow me, you can give me that thing now, and I will pay you the rest." ”
The thin boy smiled, but said lightly, "I'm a person who is more dead-eyed......"
As he spoke, the boat had arrived, and the captain hung his head and pressed his hat very low, as if he was afraid that people would see his face.
"Shengbo," the masked girl in Tsing Yi glanced at the coachman sitting in the car and said, "The ship has arrived." The implication was to let him come down and cross the river with her.
Unexpectedly, the coachman's eyes were fixed on the captain, and he suddenly opened his mouth to say a few words. The thin boy was stunned, he had grown up in the border area since he was a child, and he was familiar with Mongolian, but he did not understand a word of the coachman's words, and when he was wondering what he was saying, he saw that the coachman's whip had been raised, and a "snap" struck the captain's hat, and the hat flew out when he landed, revealing a strange face below.
I saw that this man had a sharp beak and monkey gills, and there was not a single hair on his head.
The masked girl in Tsing Yi seemed to be taken aback, took a few steps back, pulled out a pair of snowy daggers from her body with a "choking" sound, raised her willow eyebrows, and shouted: "Who are you?" ”
I heard a strange laugh in the cabin, and out of it came a round Humpty Dumpty man, only to see a pair of small eyes like mung beans on his round head, and two whiskers trembling under the broad bridge of his nose. As soon as he appeared, the thin boy was taken aback, that Humpty Dumpty was the shopkeeper of the Yuelong Inn, and the last person to fight with the stranger in black, although he did not die on the spot with a suit of heavenly armor, but after all, he was not the opponent of the stranger in black, it was the thunderbolt projectile that popped out of his hands that filled the lobby of the inn with smoke, so that he had an opportunity to steal the treasure that everyone wanted to do from the stranger in black.
"He escaped from the inn because he was defeated, and the strange man in black thought that he stole his things and chased him out," the thin young man said secretly in his heart: "I thought he was chased and killed by the strange man in black, but I didn't expect to appear here." ”
Humpty Dumpty seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled at him: "Little friend, I didn't expect you to hide."
Hiding quite deeply, lying on the table all night without moving, until the end of the ...... to start" Tut-tut sighed a few times, "I didn't die under the knife surnamed Feng, you must be very disappointed, right?" ”
The thin boy's face changed, and he took two steps back.
The round head on Humpty Dumpty's neck swayed back and forth a few times, "Little friend, you are too unkind, Lao Tzu tried his best to get chestnuts in the fire, but you came up to eat ready-made ...... Where in the world is this truth? ”
"What do you want?" The masked girl in Tsing Yi stood in front of the thin boy, waved the dagger in her hand left and right, and said with her eyes staring at Humpty Dumpty.
"I don't want to do anything," Humpty Dumpty looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "In order to get this thing, five people have died in my Tianlei Gate, and even Lao Tzu almost returned to his place," his eyes turned and glared fiercely at the thin young man behind her, "Let him return the things to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu patted his ass and left, without saying a word." ”
"Give it back to you," the masked girl in Tsing Yi sneered, "Why? ”
"Xiao Nizi, don't be too crazy," Humpty Dumpty's eyes showed a fierce look, "This is not yet to the realm of Liuyunzhuang, and it is not your turn to speak, even if Gao Yuntian comes in person, Lao Tzu will not take him seriously." ”
"Just you, a dwarf winter melon, where can you match the owner of the high village to do it himself?" The masked girl in Tsing Yi screamed, the cold light flashed in her hand, and the dagger was like two silver dragons, straight to the throat and heart of Humpty Dumpty.
The tall, thin man standing at the bow of the boat snorted, lifted his penny, and swept towards the masked girl in Tsing Yi like a gust of wind. The masked girl in Tsing Yi jumped into the air with a volley, the long penny swept under her feet, her slender waist twisted, and the whole person swooped down like a meteor, and the double daggers chiseled fiercely towards the top of the thin and tall head.
With a crisp sound, the double dagger of the masked girl in Tsing Yi was chiseled into an iron chain, and at each end of the chain was a spiked hammer, and the tall and thin weapon turned out to be a pair of meteor hammers.
The masked girl in Tsing Yi jumped down and stepped on the board of the boat with both feet, and the whole hull of the boat only shook slightly. With a "whoosh", a hammer struck her, and she dodged sideways, her body suddenly forced forward like lightning, and her double dagger stabbed him in the chest. The tall and thin man jumped backwards and jumped ashore, and the masked girl in Tsing Yi chased after him, and the two killed together......
Humpty Dumpty smiled, and his body suddenly bounced off the boat, arcing through the air, and landed on the shore with a "peng". Although he is bloated, his light body is not weak, and he does not look clumsy at all.
"Little friend, it's time to give me something, right?" Humpty Dumpty grinned and approached the skinny boy step by step.
"You, don't come here." The thin boy exclaimed, stepping back.
"Whew", he only felt a flower in front of him, and a gray shadow fell in front of him like a roc spreading its wings, which was the coachman who drove the horse.
"I can't see it," Humpty Dumpty chuckled, "even a chariot driver has such handsome kung fu." ”
"There's so much more you can't see!" Gao Sheng said coldly, and the horsewhip in his hand snorted and wrapped around Humpty Dumpty's neck. Humpty Dumpty dodged, flicked his fingers, and a projectile flew towards Gao Sheng with a "snort", Gao Sheng's wrist flicked, the whip tip turned, and hit the projectile with a "pop", and the projectile fell into the water with a "poof", and the "boom" stirred up a column of rushing water.
"Good skill," Humpty Dumpty's eyes glared, "and you take it again." Ten fingers flicked in unison, and the projectiles flew towards the sky like meteors mixed with screams.
The long whip in Gao Sheng's hand danced like a silver snake, hitting the projectiles one after another, and the "puff puff" fell into the water one after another, roaring up a column of water that rushed to the sky.
"Peng" A projectile exploded in Gao Sheng's waist, and he couldn't dodge it, only to feel a pain in his flanks, knowing that he had been injured.
"Shengbo" The masked girl in Tsing Yi exclaimed in surprise, left the tall and thin man and came to Gao Sheng's side, held his arm, and glared at the short and fat man fiercely.
The tall and thin man also came to Humpty Dumpty's side, and when he saw that one of the other party was injured, his eyes lit up, and he was about to step forward with a meteor hammer, but was stopped by Humpty Dumpty.
"Don't forget what we're here for," Humpty Dumpty said in a deep voice, "Don't make any extrasistence." ”
The tall and thin man hatefully put away the meteor hammer, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of two figures, one large and one small, running towards the distance.
