6. Broken temple

Outside the city of Liangzhou, there was a small ruined temple, and on this night, four people suddenly appeared.

A young man in a black cotton robe, holding a girl wrapped in a thin quilt in his arms, the girl's face is sallow, her eyes are bright, the young man has a cold face, a tall figure, she is panting at the moment, next to a black and thin beggar, and at the end is a woman in a purple brocade robe, the woman looks charming and graceful. It was the four Wulong people who had just escaped from Liangzhou City.

After running all night, Wulong and the little beggar were tired and out of breath, especially Wulong, who was still holding the little beggar's sister in his arms. And the little beggar was so hungry that he finally staggered, fell to the ground several times, and finally fell unconscious.

In the broken temple, Wu Long and Gong Hongying found that there was nothing in the broken temple by the moonlight shining in from outside the door, so they could only put the two children on their laps and sit opposite each other.

Wu Long was just about to ask, but Gong Hongying was the first to speak: "The identities of the two of them, when they wake up, you can ask yourself, as for me, you just need to know that I have no ill will towards you." Speaking of this, Gong Hongying thought of Wu Long's performance in the beggar's house, and snorted coldly: "Beat a swollen face and become fat, he has little ability, and he learns from others to be a hero." ”

Wu Long looked embarrassed: "What the woman said is that thank you for the heroine's rescue tonight." ”

At this time, the bright moonlight just shone straight on Gong Hongying's side face, her eyes were blurred, her face was lovely, her lips were red and gorgeous, her neck was as white as jade, and then down, the crisp breasts on her chest made people think about it, in Wulong's opinion, she was really like a fairy, and for a while, she was a little crazy.

Gong Hongying was looked at by a young man like him, and she was not angry and ashamed, she met his gaze, bit her lip, and asked, "Am I beautiful?" ”

Wu Long stammered a little, "Beautiful, beautiful" suddenly woke up, his face turned red "Yes, I'm sorry, I was rude" and remembered her previous figure of killing all sides at the door of the beggar's house, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hahaha" Gong Hongying's silver bell-like laughter came wantonly, "At a young age, I am bold, I really don't know where the fool came out"

Wu Long's face was red and white for a while, thinking that he had really embarrassed his Wu family today, if his father and Master Wang knew, a meal would definitely be indispensable.

When Wu Long thought of this, he suddenly remembered Lao Li, and if he couldn't find himself, he would definitely be very anxious.

The two were relatively speechless, and Wu Long saw that the atmosphere was awkward, and broke the deadlock with a smile: "What should we do next?" ”

"You decide, I don't care".

"Well, when they wake up, I want to ask them both about their wishes first, although I am from the north, I am not the person he said came to save them, and my family sent me to travel south to increase my knowledge." Wu Long said this, looking at Gong Hongying, "My name is Wu, Wu Xiaolong, I don't know what to call a woman?" ”

"I don't care what your origin is, what your name is, it's my business, you can call it whatever you want"

"Uh" Wu Long looked uncomfortable, probably because he had just offended her, and was about to apologize again, only to hear Gong Hongying say, "Who is your master?" Is there a sectarian heritage? ”

Wu Long frowned, he hadn't practiced any kung fu, if you want to say Master, he has only studied with Master Wang for so many years, all kinds of books, astronomy, geography, history, literature, wild literature, miscellaneous notes, laws, and even the skills of craftsmen, businessmen's business experience, in addition to learning some fighting skills in the army, and then learning the art of war with his father. To talk about inheritance, Northwest Wu Clan? That is too far away, and his father has instilled in him the concept since he was a child that the inheritance of the Northwest Wu Clan is not the fifty-eight cities of the three continents, not the 200,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry, but the important task of protecting the prosperity and strength of the eight million people in the entire Northwest and even the entire descendants of Yan and Huang.

And these, this woman in purple can't know, thinking of this, Wu Long replied, "I have learned some martial arts styles from a few masters at home, and I haven't heard of any inheritance." I don't know ,,,, woman"

"Alright, needless to say. Also, I'm not a woman, but I've killed some so-called heroines and men, hmph, these people are useless, except for talking big and doing disgusting things, but one is more powerful than the other."

"Uh, that's ,,,"

"Shut up"

Wu Long obediently shut up, speechless for a while, and when Wu Long was drowsy, he heard the woman in purple say, "Have you heard enough?" Enough of listening, roll up from the old lady's lap! ”

This is said to the little beggar in his arms.

The little beggar had already woken up, and he heard the conversation between the two of them clearly, and when he heard Wu Long say that he was not the one who came to save them, his heart was cold, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and was ready to wait until the two of them fell asleep, and secretly run away with his sister. Just when she thought that the opportunity was coming, she was drunk by Gong Hongying on the spot.

The little beggar hurriedly rolled his body and threw himself at Wu Long, apparently trying to snatch his sister down.

But the body was still in the air, and his feet were tight, and he was grabbed in his hands, and then he fell to the side fiercely, rolling all the way to the base of the wall.

The little beggar snorted, apparently not lightly injured, and lay motionless on the ground. Wu Long didn't react at all, and when he saw the little beggar jumping towards him, he was about to ask, but the little beggar flew to the root of the wall. He hurriedly put down the girl in his arms, ran over to check the little beggar's injury, stretched out his hand to pick her up, only to feel slippery and sticky, and quickly withdrew his hand, through the dim light, his hands were full of blood. Wu Long was furious, turned his head and shouted, "What are you doing? He's so thin, aren't you afraid of falling to death when you fall? He hasn't eaten for a day, how can you do it? ”

Gong Hongying sneered: "Hmph, what's wrong with being thin?" Have you ever seen a real skinny bone? What's wrong with not eating? Have you ever seen Yi Zi cannibalism? What are you? Pity them both here? When people like them are clothed and fed, and they don't get tired of eating, I don't know how many people in the world can't eat and don't have enough clothes because of them. What a joke."

Wu Long was stunned for a moment, "Who are they?" But all I could think of was the little beggar rubbing the dandruff with his hands in the moonlight, and the girl lying on the bed with clean eyes. immediately retorted, "Right and wrong cannot be based on your family's words alone, no matter what they did before, it is not an excuse for you to judge life and death with just a few words." Wu Long slowed down, "And I don't believe that just their children can make a heinous mistake." ”

"Oh?" Gong Hongying's tone turned cold, "If I'm going to kill them now, what can you do?" ”

Wu Long stood up suddenly, faced Gong Hongying, his tone was low, and he said word by word: "You, try it"

Gong Hongying was suffocated, Wu Long was already tall, a typical northern physique, squinting at the moment, looking at himself condescendingly, Gong Hongying only felt that she was facing a vicious wolf, her momentum was weak, Wu Long's mind was in a hurry, one of the two children was asleep, the other was unconscious, there was really nothing to do, and she was about to fight desperately, that Gong Hongying snorted coldly, and in a blink of an eye, she had swept out of the door like a ghost.

Wu Long didn't know why, followed a few steps, and found that the purple figure had disappeared.

Wu solemnly walked back to the little beggar, at this time the little beggar woke up slowly, only to feel that all the limbs and bones were in pain, he didn't care to check his injuries, looked up and said to Wu Long: "You guys don't act, the things are not here with me." ”

Wu Long's face was full of doubts: "What is it?" I'm not here to rob you of something. ”

The little beggar coughed a few times, his mouth was full of blood, and he sneered and closed his eyes without speaking.

At this time, the beggar's sister also woke up, heard the conversation between them, and said, "Sister, brother, he is not a bad person, really. ”

The little beggar looked puzzled, wanted to get up and go to his sister, struggled a few times, but didn't get up, Wu Long saw this, so he hugged him to his sister's side, the little beggar had no strength, only felt pain all over his body.

Wu Long put him down, he struggled to climb to his sister and sat down, helped his sister up and leaned on himself, and then said to Wu Long, "Who are you?" ”

Wu Long saw the pair of children sitting next to each other, and said in a gentle tone, "I am from the northwest, and now I am going south to practice, and I lied to you before that I came to save you, and I did lie to you, but I have no bad intentions, I just want to help you." ”

The little beggar looked a little disappointed, he was really not the northerner who came to save him in Uncle Zhang's mouth, she had long been used to it, for more than a month, in the past few days, they had lost their father, lost their mother, lost a lot of little father-in-law and grandmother who were very good to themselves, and also lost the house, and lost Uncle Zhang, who had just met.

She was deceived, the man lied to her that she was here to save herself, but she was sold to a brothel, she was afraid that she would not see her sister, she bit someone, was beaten until she passed out, she was locked up for two days, she did not eat or drink, and finally she escaped, there was nothing to eat at home, she went to the street to beg, for fear of being caught, she cut her hair with a knife, and asked her sister to call her brother in the future. There are fewer and fewer things to beg, and because she can't grab a few wild dogs, she can only give up the leftovers at the back door of the restaurant, she can only steal, she doesn't dare to steal more, for fear of being caught. She only steals food, taking advantage of people's inattention, a little here, a little there, enough for her sister and herself to eat for a day. She didn't dare to steal money, because people hid money very well, if it wasn't for her sister who was sick and needed to use money to hire a doctor, she wouldn't steal money, she observed for a long time, thinking about 10,000 ways to start, she couldn't miss, but there was no way, she had to steal, but as soon as she stole it, she was arrested, and she met the tall young man in black.

My sister has an ability, she can feel the good and evil of others, this father and mother have praised before, this ability has helped them a lot, since my sister said so at this moment, then this young man named Wu Xiaolong is definitely not a bad person.

Thinking of this, the little beggar straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Wu Xiaolong, next, I want to tell you something, you swear, you are not allowed to tell anyone without our consent, until we are completely safe." After saying that, she glanced down at her sister, who gave an affirmative look and nodded.

Wu Long saw his serious eyes and said in a deep voice: "I swear, I won't tell anyone without your consent"

The little beggar sat cross-legged, endured the pain and straightened his waist, the beggar sister was also trying her best to straighten her body, but she was sick, and occasionally swayed from side to side, the little beggar ignored her sister, took out a knife from her arms, put the knife on her sister's neck, and signaled Wu Long with her other hand not to act rashly. said, "Wu Xiaolong, you kneel." ”

Wu Long was a little embarrassed, the family rules of the Wu family, only kneeling to the prince of heaven and earth, and at any other time, he did not die or kneel.

"If you don't kneel, I'll kill her first, and then kill myself," the little beggar's tone trembled, but there was no doubt.

Wu Long had no choice but to kneel.

The little beggar exhaled, and the first words he said shocked Wu Long.

"My name is Xuanyuan Tianxiang, and my sister's name is Xuanyuan Tianzhen"

Regulus? Royal house? Emperor Xuanyuanming, who had just died, had no children under his knees, only two pampered princesses, named Tianxiang and naΓ―ve.

Without waiting for Wu Long to react, the little beggar continued.

"We are the princesses of the Yanhuang Dynasty, late that night, the palace was full of shouts and killings, my sister and I were scared, so we hid in the bed together, and after a while, my mother and uncle broke in, I saw with my own eyes that my uncle was covered in blood, and my mother changed into a tights that she had never seen her wear, and they took me and my sister and a few Jinjia uncles all the way out of our dormitory," Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Tianxiang closed his eyes slightly.

Wu Long listened quietly, he knew that she was talking about the palace change at the end of last year, unlike ordinary people, he knew more insiders, and he also believed that the palace change was not like the rumors, the queen and her relatives made chaos in the palace, there must be something else hidden.

Xuanyuan Tianxiang continued: "Outside the dormitory, there are people everywhere, those people are holding spears, and they are coming around us in rows, my uncle is waving his long knife, and the two golden armor uncles have been opening the way in front, and my mother is holding a sword in the back to protect me and my sister, I have never seen my mother like this, her face is pale, and the sword is getting slower and slower. Suddenly, a gold-armored uncle who followed my uncle all the way stabbed into his uncle's armor from the side, then turned around and retreated, and ran into the crowd around us. I know the person who attacked my uncle, he is my uncle's lieutenant, his name is Wang Maochun, he used to come to see us with his uncle, I don't know why he killed my uncle. ”

Seeing that my uncle was surrounded, my mother shouted my uncle's name loudly, the sword in his hand glowed with a faint red light, and he rushed forward a few steps in a row, and saw that his uncle was stabbed by several spears, and those people didn't pull out the snatch, just stabbed his uncle like that, although his uncle couldn't rush forward, but he was still struggling to swing the knife, he turned around and saw the three of our mothers, and roared, his whole body glowed with red light, and when he turned, he wrenched those spears, and then raised the long knife with both hands, and slashed it on the left and right, and the red light was pervasive, More than a dozen spears were killed in an instant, and the pikemen were frightened, and my uncle was panting for breath with a long knife, and his mouth kept spurting blood, and my sister and I were so frightened that we cried all the way. ”

"Mother took the remaining few Jinjia uncles to escort us to my uncle, who touched my sister and my sister's heads with his hands, and then he smiled at us and said, Tianxiang, innocent, good, don't cry, you must live well in the future. My sister and I wiped our tears and replied yes. Then the uncle looked at his mother and said to his mother, "Sister, I don't regret it, I will be your younger brother in the next life." The mother's face was still pale, and the hand holding the sword kept trembling, she reached out to help her uncle wipe the blood from his mouth, and said, It's still the same as when I was a child, sloppy, I used to wipe your nose, but now I wipe your blood, and I want to be a sister in the next life. ”

"At this time, there was a shout from behind us, Niang Niang be careful, it was the remaining few golden armor shouting, I turned around, I saw a person holding a sword with black light in his hand, falling from the sky and stabbing at his mother, my mother couldn't stop it, just when the tip of the sword was about to pierce my mother's body, I don't know where my uncle got the strength, I pushed my mother away, and then flew forward, stretched out my hand to hold the sword, at this time I saw the owner of the sword clearly, I know him, he is the eldest son of King Liang, called Zhou Xian, I'd seen him from afar in the Imperial Garden. I only heard him shout softly, and then turned around, the five fingers of the hand that my uncle grabbed the sword were broken, and the other hand waved a long knife with a red light, and even cut a few knives, which were blocked by Zhou Xian, and then a person jumped out behind Zhou Xian, and he wore a short-sleeved suit in winter, he punched his uncle down, and knocked his uncle more than ten meters away, and the uncle staggered to his feet, and shouted to his mother to leave, and then he flew up, the red light on the knife was greater, and he waved it at the man in the strong suit, and the man raised his hand to block it, As soon as he heard a sound, the long knife was bounced away, and then he gently wiped his left hand from right to left, and his right hand swung out with a punch, hitting his uncle in the stomach, and the uncle vomited another mouthful of blood, and then punched one punch after another, until his uncle could no longer stand up."

"My uncle is dead, and I look into his empty eyes, wondering what he thought before he died. At this time, Zhou Xian stopped the person who was about to continue to smash his dead uncle with his fist, as if it was called Tieshan. Then he told everyone not to move, asked his mother for something, and said that if he didn't hand it over, he would kill our mother and daughter, and his mother sneered and said that they were delusional, and that thing had already been destroyed, Zhou Xian didn't believe it, and he had to hand it over to his mother, otherwise he would sell us to a brothel, and said other foul language. The mother was very angry, and the long sword in her hand was red and glowing. Zhou Xian waved his hand and said to arrest us first, and then ask slowly, what Tieshan took the lead, and killed the remaining few Uncle Jin Jia who rushed forward to protect us with three or two punches. Then he was about to make a move, a white-bearded old man didn't know when he appeared, I saw his hands shining red, rushed up to the iron mountain is palm, forced him back, the old man turned around again, and appeared in front of that Zhou Xian in a blink of an eye, a palm waved, that Zhou Xian held a black sword to block, but was still forced to retreat more than ten zhang away, the iron mountain behind rushed up again, wanted to save Zhou Xian, but the old man turned around directly and hugged me with one hand, and held my sister with the other, and said to his mother, Miss, go, and then flew away, I jumped on the palace wall, and I felt like I was flying through the clouds, my head was dizzy, and my mother flew out with us. ”

"In this way, we escaped all the way out of the palace, and then all the way to the south, escaped from the south gate, along the way behind the pursuit of soldiers, we kept fleeing, on the way my mother told me, the old man's surname is Zhang, let us call him Uncle Zhang, later, Uncle Zhang and his mother don't know what to discuss, we changed clothes in a village, and then came to this Liangzhou City."

"Uncle Zhang took us into a yard, we just lived a few days ago, my mother died, and then Uncle Zhang according to my mother's instructions, cremated her, and then sold the yard, buried a few of my mother's clothes, and then, Uncle Zhang took us out of the city, later, I met a few people on the road, including the person who killed my uncle that day, they fought with Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang was injured, those people also fled, one night, Uncle Zhang said to me, I'm sorry Miss, I failed to protect the two of you, If it goes on like this, we will definitely fall into their hands, but King Liang would never have imagined that you would be in Liangzhou, I will send you back to Liangzhou tonight, and if there are people from the north looking for you in the future, you can go with them, so they sent us back to the slum in Liangzhou, and it didn't take long for Uncle Zhang to die, and my sister was sick, and then I met you. ”

"Wu Xiaolong, this palace ordered you to escort my two sisters to the north, are you willing?"

After hearing this, Wu Long's heart was stirred, no one could have imagined that the little beggar he saved was actually the princess of the Yanhuang Dynasty not long ago, he couldn't turn around, knelt on the ground and was at a loss, and didn't know how to answer in a panic. He looked at Xuanyuan Tianxiang in a daze, and then turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Tianxiang. Suddenly, he reached into his arms and took out half a string of rock sugar gourds.

"Princess, are you hungry?"
