Chapter 380: Unspeakable Situation
The two sides converged in the restaurant, and Bai Li naturally hid the identity of the shopkeeper here who was a spy in Lonely Howling Heights, and just lightly ordered to prepare some food so that he could go on the road immediately. Lao Huangtou, Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing worked hard all night, returned to the room and fell asleep on the bed.
Bai Ya got together with Hades Venerable, Luo Xiu and Mo Ye and said a big thing that was imminent.
…………
Wing County, restaurant, room.
The Immortal Venerable stood by the window with his arms crossed over his chest, uneasy. It has been a long time since this has been the case, and although he has not spoken, he can see the irrepressible uneasiness in the body of the Immortal Venerable. Bai Li got up and sat down again, and after repeating this several times, he finally broke the silence, "Lonely Roaring Heights has suffered a great disaster, and we need to go to help." What do you think? ”
Luo Xiu also restrained his temperament, and his face was solemn, "In this way, what the owner of Mingyue Mansion said is not a lie, but the truth?" ”
Mo Ye slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table, and said in a muffled voice: "I have known him for many years, and he has never said a word of lie. It's just, it's just that it all came too fast, too suddenly. ”
At this time, the Immortal Venerable walked over, picked up a teacup, poured a cup, drank it all, and asked softly, "But there is a war on the border?" ”
Bai Li nodded when he heard this, "The person in power in Hou Zhou has run out of patience, and the owner of the village wanted to take this opportunity to weigh the two sides, but he didn't expect that Wuliang City would turn against him, so as to put pressure on Hou Tang." And Li Cunqiao solved the trouble in Luoyang, at this time naturally looked at the world, Yu Tianfeng led his troops to the battle, and met the vanguard troops of the Later Zhou Dynasty on the bank of Huaishui, and there were casualties among each other. And the owner of Mingyue Mansion ......"
Bai Li said this, but he wanted to say it again and again, and he didn't know whether to continue talking. Hades Zun poured another cup, covered the teacup with his hand, and said coldly, "Go on." ”
The tea cup began to shake under the internal strength, and after Bai Ya frowned slightly, he continued: "Nalan, the owner of Mingyue Building, has recruited people from the Tang River and Lake after snaring and strengthening Mingyue Tower, which has become an inevitable trend. After that, the Tang lord Li Cunqiao supported him behind his back, and Mingyuelou began to sweep the major gangs in the rivers and lakes, and issued a 'blood order', those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it die. And Lonely Roaring Heights also intervened in the battle of Luoyang, and naturally bore the brunt of it, becoming the inevitable choice of Mingyue Tower's 'killing chickens and monkeys'. ”
Hades Zun raised his hand suddenly, and the teacup under his palm burst with a bang, and then turned into powder. Among them, the tea was mixed with the anointment, and it was a mess.
"It's so deceitful! Then you can leave for Solitary Heights, and you will definitely have to pay the price for Nalan's lackeys. Hades' voice was hoarse, but with an unmistakable majesty.
"Then Gu Xing......" Mo Ye was a little uneasy, and then asked.
"Leave it to Huang Wanli, his road will have to go by himself after all. By the way, how many days are there to go to the Crow Valley? His fingers on the table tapped lightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"If you take the official road, it will take ten days. If you take the trail, it will only take seven days to get there. The birthday of the old man Jackdaw is exactly ten days later, and at that time, there are people with heads and faces in Tang Wulin, and they will come to congratulate him. Bai Li said and looked at the Immortal Venerable.
Hearing this, Hades Venerable nodded, "Then take advantage of Old Man Jackdaw's birthday, I will wait to stabilize the situation in Lonely Roaring Heights first, and then think about it in the long run." If you want to come to this Mingyue Building, you won't not sell the face of the Crow Valley. ”
Mo Ye and Luo Xiu have no objections, they stay here without more than multiple helpers, but it is more important to rush to the aid of Lone Roaring Heights for now. Before pouring out of the nest, it was already a defense of emptiness, if someone took advantage of it, it would be too late to regret it.
A few people were about to get up and go out, but there was a heavy knock at the door, which seemed to have been brewing for a long time.
Several people looked at each other, and when they were talking in secret just now, they had clearly opened the door to confirm that no one was around, and several people were not weak in their internal strength, how could someone not know when they were outside?
Luo Xiu walked quickly to the door and looked back at the crowd. Hades nodded, and Luo Xiu opened the door, only to see an expected person there, grinning, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth. Before Luo Xiu could speak, the person who came had already swaggered in, came to everyone, grabbed a teacup casually and said with a smile: "What, there is something on your mind?" ”
The person who came was naturally the old yellow man who began to sleep when he returned to the restaurant, but I don't know if the old man was sleepy less, or the old man was particularly interested in other people's secret conversations, so he took advantage of this moment to squat somewhere and eavesdrop in secret.
The four of them glanced at each other, and the Immortal Venerable took the lead in speaking: "What did the predecessor say?" ”
"There's no need to hide it, the old man is not an outsider, so he is naturally at ease with you, and I hope you can rest assured that you can also be at ease with me." Old Huangtou's words seemed to confirm some of their conjectures and also relieved some of their worries.
Mo Ye took over the conversation and continued: "Then the seniors are willing to take care of Gu Xingyi? ”
After the old yellow head poured a few sips of tea, he stood up and stretched, leaned on Luo Xiu and smiled mysteriously, "Then you are not afraid that I will take him crookedly?" ”
When the four of them heard this, they all looked at each other. The old yellow head then continued: "It's just a joke, but there is something that needs to be explained to you. ”
The Immortal Venerable seemed to understand the old yellow head's voice, got up and hugged his fists and smiled: "Senior, please speak." ”
"I believe you already know my identity, and the old man has nothing to hide. I will take Gu Xing as a disciple and pass on to him the mantle of the sword-bearer. But his current physique may be unbearable, so I will protect him and pour it into the Valley of the Crows, and everything after that will depend on his creation. If he can't resume his cultivation, then the old man won't give up, but he needs to spend a little more effort. Of course, there is a condition for all this. The old yellow head said this, deliberately selling a pass, his eyes rolled and looked at everyone.
Bai Ya pursed his lips and smiled, as if he had guessed what the old yellow head was going to say next. Unconsciously spoke first: "We naturally understand what you mean, but this is the condition, and it depends on whether Gu Xing is willing or not." ”
"Whether he wants to or not, since the old man has made up his mind, he can't help it. If I don't want to, I'll abolish him, and it's not a disgrace to the knife man. The old yellow head said, subconsciously glancing at the Immortal Venerable. The Immortal Venerable didn't move, didn't even raise his hand, just looked at him silently.
The old yellow head seemed to be a little conscious of the loss, and then laughed loudly: "It's okay, as long as you get along for a long time, it's not a natural thing." However, you guys are leaving, how should I tell Gu Xing? ”
Hades Venerable clenched his fists again, "Needless to say, we will meet again." Please ask the seniors to tell Gu Xing, if there is something, come to Lonely Roaring Heights. ”
Lao Huangtou nodded, silently exited the room and closed the door, but Chen Fusheng and Aunt Han were already waiting at the end of the corridor, looking at him with a smile. The old yellow head looked embarrassed, and said casually: "What, are you leaving?" ”
Chen Fusheng nodded with a smile, but pointed downstairs. The old yellow head looked down at the railing and saw that Gu Xing, Er Yatou and Wei Wuji had packed their bags early and were already waiting to go.
The old yellow head immediately turned over and jumped down, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it. Gu Xing saw the old yellow man's embarrassed face, and asked with a smile, "But are you leaving?" ”
"Naturally, I'm leaving, but there's something I want to tell you." The old yellow man's face was already wrinkled, and he wanted to speak again.
"Needless to say, when I go to the Valley of the Crows, I naturally need to go back to Lonely Roaring Heights." Gu Xing said indifferently, but looked up at the room on the second floor, and seemed to know everything.
The old yellow head was a little annoyed, as if he felt that he had been put on the spot, but Chen Fusheng walked down at this time to make a round, "Senior doesn't need to be angry, it's just that the Immortal Venerable left a letter to Gu Xing before leaving, and asked him to listen to your teachings well." ”
"Is that really what you said?" The old yellow head was a little skeptical. "That's really what you said, and what conditions you have, this has to be considered in the long run." A familiar voice came from behind Chen Fusheng, and Aunt Han walked down with her baggage. Yi Nanxing had already packed the dry food, came to the front of the restaurant and said loudly: "Everyone, let's go." ”
Gu Xing retracted his gaze when he heard this, helped Wei Wuji up, and walked out quickly with the second girl. The old yellow head came to Chen Fusheng's side and muttered in a low voice: "You really didn't dig a pit for the old man?" ”
Chen Fusheng smiled silently, but behind him, Aunt Han kicked Lao Huang's head, "Do you think everyone is like you, full of nonsense?" ”
The old yellow head suddenly showed a displeased look, and pretended to say in a deep voice: "What kind of person do you think the old man is, how can you tell those lies?" ”
Aunt Han seemed to be in a good mood, but she just rolled her eyes and followed quickly. When the old yellow head walked out of the restaurant, the door of the restaurant was closed immediately, and he seemed unwilling to entangle with them anymore. And at a teahouse outside the building, Ma Erye and several people with credit knives were also watching them, watching them leave from Yixian.
Ma Erye picked up the tea bowl and poured it down, a little stunned and a little lonely, "I didn't expect that in the end, I had to rely on these outsiders, I waited for all these years, it was too vulnerable." ”
The man with the credit knife beside him said with relief: "If there is no horse head for you, this Yixian County may not be what it will become, right?" ”
"Yes, yes. The county lieutenant is loved by the people on the surface, but that is just an illusion, if they know the truth, they don't know what chaos will happen. At this time, it is the best policy to cut through the mess. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? Expelling that demon from Yixian County can be regarded as fighting for our small place. So that the people will not fall into misery, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue. ”
Second Master Ma looked at the figures of several people slowly in the distance, thinking about all kinds of waste. He stood up and led everyone to think about the county governor's mansion. But before he went far, there was a wail in the restaurant, and several people were keenly aware that something was wrong, and they hurried to hear a bang, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant flew out of the door, and his head was separated.
And one person walked out with a blood-dripping knife. When Second Master Ma saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, "You, aren't you already dead?" ”
The man smiled strangely, "If I die, won't I be cheaper for you?" As he spoke, he jumped down and slashed towards Ma Erye. Second Master Ma's heart tightened, and then he understood, and shouted at the rest of the credit knife people: "He is a demon transformation, and he must not be deceived." ”
At this time, the people had already poured over, and they were surrounded by water. The tree doctor, who was disguised as a county lieutenant, laughed loudly at this time: "Ma Er, are you guilty?" ”
Ma Erye has been hanging his son as a disguise in Yixian County all these years, and at this time, he was pointed at Xingshi by the "county lieutenant" and asked for guilt, so he was naturally speechless. If my heart is not good, I want to leave. was pushed back by the people. The "county lieutenant" was approaching step by step, walked up to Ma Erye, raised the knife in his hand, and then threw his head out, "Ma Er's demons confuse the public, and I have corrected the law for the following crimes." Since then, the Tiankeng sacrifice has been abolished, and you no longer have to worry about paying tribute. ”
Those people who didn't know the truth began to cheer with the words of the "county lieutenant", and the sound spread ten miles away.
Gu Xing and the others heard it from afar, and they smiled, "It seems that this Second Master Ma is still deeply popular with the people." But the old yellow man glanced at it meaningfully, turned around and urged: "Let's go quickly, it's been a lot of delay." ”
The horses' hooves stepped on the barren land, and wisps of smoke and dust gradually rose, and they also carried their memories of this place with their whips......
And the tree doctor who disguised himself as a "county lieutenant" finally got what he wanted. I don't know if this result is too ironic. If Ma Erye could keep Lao Huangtou and the others for a few more days, maybe he would have been exempted from this secret hand, but there is no such pure trust between people, and they will always be separated by an insurmountable wall......
