3. Go south
Liangzhou City, the first prosperous city in the world, is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and is the location of Gyeonggi of the Yanhuang Dynasty, so its fish and dragons are mixed, the characters are romantic, and the world is incomparable.
In the last years of Yan and Huang, the Yan and Huang courts, which existed in name only, issued an order to seal the Marquis of Liang as the king of Liang, and the world was shaken, only the king of the Han Dynasty in the northeast wrote to oppose it, but the court was still indifferent, and the northern barbarians divided into two roads, attacking the Great Wall and the northwest respectively, so there was no opposition in the world.
On this day, two figures appeared outside the tall Liangzhou City, one in front was dressed in black, about twenty years old, and one was slightly behind, one was older, looking like he was about thirty years old, the two were empty-handed, chatting while walking.
I only heard one person in front of me say: "Lao Li, you said, my father asked me to go south, why don't you send a master with me?" ”
The older man said, "How do you know I'm not a master?" ”
"Uncle Gao, when you were robbed just now, you ran faster than me"
"So, at least better than you"
,,,,,,
The two are the eldest son of the Northwest Wu clan, Wu Long, and the other is a retainer of the Wu family, no one knows where he came from, Wu Long only knows that he often saw him in and out of the house when he was a child, and no one cared, as if no one in the entire Wu clan had ever cared about this person.
This time, my father and Master Wang sent me south, I thought that I would arrange a peerless master to accompany him, so as to support the scene, those books can all say that the son of the family will go out, and he will be followed by a master to help him in times of crisis, but in the past few days, this Lao Li really did not show the slightest appearance of a master, originally thought that he might be deliberately hiding his skills, but just three days ago, the two were robbed in a mountain forest without a village or a store. Although our Wu Dagongzi has been in the army for many years, he is agile, and he hacked to death two fierce gangsters with his backhand, but there is no way, what about twenty or thirty people, and after three more people were injured, Wu Long found that Lao Li had already run out of a mile or two of land without knowing how to do it, and this time Wu Long's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly slashed with a knife, killed a bloody road, and ran in the direction of Lao Li, and at the same time did not forget to turn around to observe the situation, and actually caught a glimpse of a robber who was bending his bow and shooting arrows, in a hurry, Wu Long threw back the long knife in his hand, regardless of whether he hit it or not, and then ran.
finally caught up with that Lao Li, and scolded him as soon as he met, but Lao Li's face did not change, and he replied directly: "These rabbles are not worth their own shots." You are the eldest son of the Wu family, and the person who fought with the Hou Ye, was chased by a group of bandits, it is really embarrassing" Wu Long was angry, but no matter what, he is also Lao Li, who has known him since childhood, and he will not be really angry. So the two teased each other all the way and continued south. On this day, I came to Liangzhou City.
"Lao Li, are you hungry?"
"Do you have money to buy food?"
"No, do you still have any?"
"The last tael of silver,,,
"That's enough, just eat some buns and find a way"
"No, I mean, the last tael of silver was spent by you yesterday."
"Spent?"
"Yesterday in Xinghua Village, you ate a meal from a young widow, so you had to pay someone a tael of silver, did you forget?"
"Then why don't you stop it"
"Hmph, funny, who posed as a son at that time, saying that he wanted to let the orphans and widows live a good life in the future, what kind of thing you encountered, you have to solve it, I don't know, I thought you were a bodhisattva who went down to earth and saved the suffering of the world, and as a result, he gave people a silver tael ,,,,"
"Come on, how are you doing? A pair of eyes are almost close to someone's chest, right? Old color embryo"
"Childe, are you hungry?"
“,,,,”
Wu Long turned his head to look, only to see Lao Li's left hand behind him, stretched out his right hand, put it in front of Wu Long's eyes, and slowly spread it out under Wu Long's eyes
Nothing
"Old Li" Wu Long shouted angrily, "Li Seembryo," saying that he was about to make a move and blow up the old pervert's smiling face.
"Hahaha," Lao Li was unmoved, and quickly stretched out his left hand, and a tael of silver appeared in the palm of his hand.
Wu Long was suddenly discouraged, "Brother Li, Uncle Li, are you tired, help you pinch your shoulders,,,,,"
In the end, the two chose a steamed bun shop, one bought three meat buns, ate while walking, wandered around in Liangzhou City, all kinds of snack shops along the way, rock sugar gourds, and all kinds of pastries, plus the price of Liangzhou is high, soon, one or two silver only a few copper coins left. Liangzhou is prosperous, pedestrians rubbing shoulders one after another, suddenly, Wu Long felt that his waist was hit, turned around and looked, a little beggar wearing a broken hat, black and thin, was apologizing to himself with a panicked face at this time, Wu Long saw that he was pitiful, and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay." He was about to send him a string of rock sugar gourds, but the little beggar turned around and ran, and turned around and grimaced at Wu Long, who was suspicious, only to hear Lao Li beside him sigh, "The remaining pennies are gone"
Wu Long was furious and chased after him, but the street was crowded, and Wu Long, with his height, could catch a glimpse of the broken hat, dodging left and right along the way, and chased after him, Lao Li saw this and followed in a hurry.
The little beggar thought that just this little money, the two would definitely not care, never wanted to look back, the man chased after him with his teeth and claws, and suddenly frightened his soul, and continued to run with his head bored, the beggar was thin and small, and he drilled to the crowded along the way, and was scolded by the passers-by, and even scolded Wu Long, Wu Long saw this, and was even more angry, and finally, he was caught up by Wu Long in a small alley, looking at the little beggar with a flustered face, Wu Long gasped, and held half a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and walked over slowly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, said sharply: "Run, keep running, even your Uncle Wu's money dares to steal, it's lawless."
The little beggar was so frightened that he couldn't speak, but he was holding the three copper coins in his hand, and he didn't know if he was stupid or what, he was speechless for a while and only looked at Wulong in a daze.
At this time, it was dark, and he couldn't see Wu Long's expression clearly, and the little beggar only felt that this person was really fierce, but when he thought of his sick sister at home, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and just wanted to find a chance to escape.
Wu Long was a little embarrassed, he was not a very vicious person, but since he went south, everything has not gone well, and he is trying to vent at the moment, but when he saw the pitiful appearance of the little beggar, his heart softened first, and he didn't even know what to do for a while, so he thought it would be good to scare him casually
"Hey, why are you stealing my money?"
",,," The little beggar looked at a loss, and he must have stolen it because he had no money.
Wu Long also felt that this was a bit silly to ask, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, "Anyway, if you steal my money, it's not right, return the money to me, and let you go"
I don't want the little beggar to suddenly ask, "Big, big brother, are you from the north?" ”
Wu Long was suffocated, he and Lao Li went all the way south, and there were few people in the know, could it be that someone was watching on the road? Thinking of this, Wu Long's tone turned cold: "So what?" ”
The little beggar looked nervous, "Yes, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong to steal money, but last month my mother died, Uncle Zhang sold the house, after burying my mother, I had a fight with someone, I was seriously injured, and I and my sister finally escaped, and then Uncle Zhang died, before he died, I told me that there might be someone from the north to save us in the future, these ten days, my sister and I picked up other people's leftover meals on the street every day, that is, waiting for Uncle Zhang to say that people from the north came to save us, and now my sister is very sick and dying, big brother, you're here to save us, aren't you? ”
Speaking of this, the little beggar was full of nervousness, his eyes were full of expectation, and he slowly walked towards Wulong, and Wulong frowned, and was a little slow to react for a while. This little beggar is quite pitiful, and if you don't forget that little money, you should be a good person.
Wu Long was about to speak, but the figure of the little beggar was missing in front of him, and when he turned around, he found that he had run far away. Wu Long was shocked and angry, and hurriedly chased after him, this time, he must be tied up and beaten.
As soon as they walked on their front feet, two people appeared here, a man and a woman, the man was middle-aged, tall and mighty, and in the middle of winter, he only wore a strong suit, and he seemed to be a master of external skills. The woman is enchanting and charming, with a graceful figure, and wears a dark purple brocade dress. I only heard the woman say, "Is it a wrong guess?" Didn't the man come to save them? ”
The tall man said: "In my opinion, kill it directly, but the eldest prince wants to keep this person, it is really a woman's kindness." ”
The woman glanced at him, "You have the ability, you say it in front of the eldest prince, and you are crooked here"
"Hmph, demon girl, don't think that the old dog fought back on the verge of death and broke a few of my ribs, you can talk to me like this, believe it or not, Lao Tzu punched you to death?"
"Yo, what a great ability, who is this? Is it the old man of Zhongnan who sees the head of the dragon and does not see the end? Or the willow fairy of the South China Sea who kills people invisibly? ”
At this time, a lazy voice suddenly sounded: "These two are Li Tieshan and the palace lady under the door of the eldest prince of Liang." ”
The two of them suddenly exploded, and they were about to fly away, only to find that they couldn't move the slightest, the true qi in their bodies was like a pool of stagnant water, and their backs were chilled in an instant, this person actually appeared silently beside the two of them, could it be the legendary grandmaster-level master?
The two of them didn't dare to move for a while, and only heard the woman say: "Dare to ask the seniors, where is the sacred, the younger generation is Gong Hongying, Fang Cai and his colleague Li Tieshan are doing things for the eldest prince of King Liang, which disturbed the seniors, please raise your noble hand and let the two of us return, he will repay him one day." After Gong Hongying finished speaking, she still didn't dare to come out, for fear of accidentally killing her on the spot.
When Li Tieshan heard Gong Hongying finish speaking, he was speechless in a panic for a while, so he could only say "Yes, yes, yes, there will be repayment, there will be repayment"
The man asked, "Tut-tut, Li Tieshan, weren't you very rampant just now?" When it comes to the end, it's completely inferior to a woman, it's really a waste, you kind of waste who can only bully women, damn it! ”
After speaking, a palm was pressed on the back of Li Tieshan's heart, Gong Hongying didn't feel any true qi fluctuations, and Li Tieshan's body fell down as soon as he became weak.
Gong Hongying bit her lip and felt a palm gently pressed against the back of her heart, unable to move, and could only be at the mercy of others.
After waiting for a little half a cup of tea, Gong Hongying only felt that she had waited for a lifetime for so long, I don't know when the hand had left her back, she breathed a long sigh of relief, it was night at this time, a gust of wind blew, she shivered all over, she didn't dare to look back, quietly ran the true qi, retracted and released freely, without any hindrance, "the opportunity must not be lost", she jumped forward, quickly turned back, and there was no one. "The man is gone?" If it weren't for Li Tieshan's body lying on the ground, she couldn't believe that it was true, silent, without a trace. At this moment, the problem she is facing is how to go back, a first-class master, he died in this Liangzhou City silently, but he was unscathed, who would believe it? Thinking of this, she walked to Li Tieshan's side, squatted down, and tried her nose with a nervous mind, she couldn't die anymore.
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to go back on an errand?" The voice that carved into the bone marrow appeared from behind him again, Gong Hongying's hair stood on end, and she didn't even dare to withdraw her hand when she squatted on the ground, only to hear the man continue, "Gong Hongying, your life will not be yours in the future, you don't have to go back to the eldest prince of Liang, you will follow the young man just now in the future"
Where did Gong Hongying dare to say two words, and replied "yes" in a low voice.
"Let's go"
Gong Hongying got up, bowed her head and bent over, and kept slowly retreating, from the beginning to the end, her eyes were just fixed on her feet, and after about twenty or thirty steps, she swept up and ran towards the place where Wulong and the little beggar had left before.
In the end, she caught a glimpse of a scene from a distance that she would never forget: a figure was behind his hands, and Li Tieshan's body was floating in the air and turned into powder.
