Volume 1 The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping Chapter 32 The End of Qingping (I)
After dawn, the thunderstorm that had raged all night finally stopped completely, and Sun Tu reappeared in the secluded grove. This made Ya'er, who had stayed awake all night because of worry and anxiety, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Third brother, you can be regarded as back." ”
"Since the third brother promised you to come back in the morning, he naturally won't lie to you." Sun Tu touched her hair dotingly, and then he hugged his fist at Chao Gai and the others, who had also not rested all night, to thank him.
Chao Gai smiled, but didn't ask if he had succeeded. The answer can only be known from Sun Tu's safe return, he just sighed a little, the young man in front of him is bold and has high means, and he is indeed far beyond what he thought.
Just when Sun Tu was about to say goodbye to the other party, Chao Gai asked someone to send a package: "San Lang saved me before naturally not such a small favor can be offset, here is a little heart, I hope you don't refuse." ”
Sun Tu didn't pretend either, after these things, he and Chao Gai also had a fateful friendship, this bit of money and money is really nothing, so he took it casually, and didn't even look at how much silver money was put in it, so he put it in the donkey cart: "Chao Baozheng, then the mountains and rivers have a meeting, and I will say goodbye." ”
"San Lang be careful all the way, the water in Bianjing City is much deeper than a small county like ours." Chao Gai also gave up his hand, but in fact, he didn't have any experience in this.
Sun Tu smiled, got on the wheel, flicked the whip lightly, and drove the donkey forward. Although the biggest threat, Liu Yuan, is dead, since Ya'er has been brought out, it is impossible to send her back. It may be difficult or even dangerous for most people in this era to travel hundreds of miles to Tokyo, but for him, it is just a road trip.
Seeing Sun Tu's donkey cart return to the official road and merge into the passers-by, Chao Gai's eyes flashed with emotion: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that this was a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old." With his ability, he might be able to do something that others can't think of when he goes to Bianjing......"

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had been traveling westward for several days, and they were about to leave the boundary of Shandong, and the customs and customs were different from those in Yuncheng County. All this fell into the eyes of Ya'er, who had never left the county, and it was particularly novel, always asking Sun Tu something, and he was a curious baby.
Seeing that the little girl's body was not uncomfortable because she was far away from home, and even the residual pain from before had improved, Sun Tu was naturally full of joy, knowing that his previous decision to bring her out was completely correct. As soon as he was in a good mood, he answered all the questions, and explained all kinds of things that were extremely new to Ya'er, and the little girl was amazed all the way to it.
But when he came to this small town located at the junction of Shandong Road and Hebei Road, Sun Tu, who had been talking and laughing all the way, suddenly became solemn, which made Ya'er nervous, and she didn't know what was going on.
Of course, she didn't know that not long after entering this Dongming town, Sun Tu obviously felt that there was an extra pair of eyes beside her who were always staring at her. But when he turned around and looked around, he found nothing. If he hadn't trusted his instincts and predictions of danger, he would have even thought that he was suspicious of the ghosts.
Although Liu Yuan had indeed been eliminated, the people he sent to chase and kill earlier did not know about it, so he naturally would not give up the pursuit of Yanlu. The lack of this feeling all the way before made Sun Tu sure that he was afraid that the other party had been waiting here for a long time, probably trying to kill himself outside the Shandong boundary.
When he was sharpening the foot shop in the town, Sun Tu had already made a decision in his heart: "We must lure them out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be more dangerous to be too passive all day long." Thinking to himself, he was already thinking about the overall plan.
The idea must be that after casually using a bowl of soup cakes, that is, later noodles, Sun Tu took Ya'er on his journey again, and their behavior surprised the guys and other customers in the foot shop a little.
There is also a rule for going out to travel, because of the relationship between the vast land and the sparse population in ancient times, it is also very particular about how much distance to rush every day. Generally speaking, in order to facilitate people going out, the government will set up a post station on the side of the official road, so that people can have a place to live at night, and there is often a post station in thirty or forty miles.
But there are exceptions, for example, if there is a town in the middle of these thirty or forty miles, there is no need to set up a post station, because pedestrians can go directly into the city to find a place to stay. Wake up early tomorrow and hurry up to get to the next station before dark.
Dongming Town is such an existence, and now it is past noon, even if the summer days are long, it is difficult to run dozens of miles before dark. So seeing that Sun Tu and they were about to leave, the guy in the store kindly stepped forward to persuade them.
But Sun Tu didn't pay attention to the other party's retention at all, and only settled the meal money, took Ya'er out of the store, and then drove the donkey cart to the west again, leaving only a burst of suspicion from everyone.
Sure enough, after the sky gradually darkened, there was no longer half of the pedestrians on the road, and the two of them were already in the wilderness. This made Ya'er, who was already a little strange, even more flustered, and couldn't help but poke her head out of the carriage window: "Third brother, ......" looked at Sun Tu bably.
Sun Tu turned around and smiled: "Ya'er, don't panic, no matter what happens later, you just stay in the carriage, and it will be fine!" As he spoke, he had already put the compound bow that had shot Shen Laoqi in his hand, and he also had a pot of feather arrows from Chao Gai.
After walking along the official road for a while, Sun Tu's ears suddenly stood up, and his face became extremely solemn, holding the reins with one hand, letting the donkey cart stop slowly, and quickly probing with the other, copying the bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes had flashed with vigilance.
Sure enough, there was a burst of eager footsteps from behind, and when Sun Tu turned around when he heard the sound, he saw four or five men striding towards him with a simple knife, all of them were murderous, and they were looking for trouble for themselves!
When these people saw Sun Tu stop the donkey cart, they were even more overjoyed, and one of them shouted loudly: "Sun San, today is your death date, accept your life!" With this roar, several people have already swooped up, the length of most of the people in their hands, with wood as the handle, the cold light of the Pu knife was raised higher than the top, and the wind slashed. Now there is not half a figure in front of or behind on this official road, and they are naturally not afraid of making too much noise.
Ya'er in the carriage had already let out a scream when she saw this scene, but her body couldn't move at all. And hearing the little girl's cry stimulated the ferocity of these people even more, making their smiles more and more hideous.
It's just that their target didn't look panicked and frightened at this time, and he was still sitting on the wheel of the donkey cart, and there was even a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth. Seeing them pounce, he didn't have any intention of getting out of the car to fight.
How can this be endured? These men are all ferocious characters who are used to being rampant in Yuncheng County, how can they suffer this humiliation, and they are more anxious to pounce.
But there are still people who are faster and more anxious than them! Just when several people had come to the car and were about to start a siege against Sun Tu, there was a sudden sound of a bowstring in the deep darkness on the left side, and suddenly, a feather arrow flew straight towards Sun Tu's neck like a thunderbolt.
This arrow came too suddenly, and the timing was just right, just when Sun Tu needed to deal with those fierce big men, it was almost impossible to distract him! The archer who made a move on the side showed a confident smile on his face, and he felt that his arrow would definitely hit in one fell swoop, and shoot Sun Tu directly on the spot!
But at the moment when his smile just appeared, Sun Tu, who was still sitting on the wheel, suddenly leaned over, fell from the car in a strange posture, and actually flashed this fatal arrow in a thousand moments. It was as if he had expected this change, and the immobility just now was just for this flash!
How is this possible?
Whether it was the sneak attacker on the side or as a suspicious soldier, the big men who attracted Sun Tu's attention all showed expressions of disbelief. But the facts in front of them have clearly told them that their wishful thinking has come to naught!
