After a twist and turn, after a short rest in the capital, the team of darts began to set off for the direction of Xinliang. The journey from the capital to Xinliang is a little farther than from Qingzhou to the capital, and now that the weather is in ambush, Xiao Tong feels that when they return, it will be time to start autumn.

When he went out of the city, Xu Cheng deliberately came to Xiao Tong and said something, saying that when he seized Wu Yushi's house the night before yesterday, he was accidentally run away by Wu Changcai, Xu Cheng reminded that Wu Changcai was narrow-minded and insidious, and asked them to be careful. Xiao Tong nodded politely and thanked him, thinking about Wu Changcai's gentleman, it is estimated that he didn't know where to hide at this time, so he didn't take him to heart.

But in life, many things, a little carelessness, will give birth to disasters.

The most suitable season of the year to rush to the night is the summer, because when the road is far away, if there is no inn and restaurant to avoid the wind and cold along the way, then when the weather is cold, they dare not easily rush to the next town, in the autumn and winter nights, the cold wind blows like a knife cut on the skin, people would rather delay for a day more than suffer the pain at night. But summer is different, if the summer is in the ambush, the sun will dry the earth like a soldering iron during the day, walking on the road almost to dry people, but at night it is a cool breeze, even if there is no place to stay on the road, the mountains and woods are tired, as long as beware of some infested beasts, there will only be a few disturbing mosquitoes are a little bad.

Or the dart walker walks a lot at night, so he doesn't know which one starts, and he is accustomed to tie a few ropes with dry wormwood braids on the carriage of the darts, and when he is in a hurry to hurry up at night, the person who walks in front lights the wormwood, extinguishes the fire, and holds a smoking braid in his hand, and sways it twice from time to time, and the curling white smoke floats backwards, and the mosquitoes that surround the people to find food are smoked away.

In the middle of the night, the group found an open flat land, lit a fire, and roasted the dry food they carried, which was regarded as an additional supper, and when they were full of food and drink, they found a place for themselves, and left a night watch awake to take turns to sleep for a while.

In order to be light, there was only one carriage with him, and in addition to the three boxes escorted, the rest of the carriage could only barely curl up and lie down. Xiao Tong thought to himself that a good man should be a gentleman, and the carriage was naturally reserved for Zong Luo's sister, and he himself, after feeding the horse that was carrying him on the road, a few handfuls of grass, then ripped off the linen cloth that originally covered the box and spread it on the ground, lying on it, looking up at the stars in the sky.

The young man who stayed on duty for the night must have been a chatter, going back and forth, and seeing who had not snored yet, he had to hurry up and say a few words to someone, and when he saw that Xiao Tong was not asleep, he whispered: "The head of the family." ”

Xiao Tong listened, and reacted in his mind for a moment, everyone in this dart game changed Sister Zongluo's "big boss", presumably the "head of the house" was called him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Tong looked at the young man and lowered his voice in response.

The young man kindly persuaded: "The lord may not have traveled at night, but in fact you can sleep in peace in this wilderness, and I will wake you up at any time if there is any movement." ”

When Xiao Tong heard this, he seemed to have really settled down, lay on his side, and gently closed his eyes. When the young man on duty saw that everyone was asleep, he paced to the horses from time to time and exchanged a few words with the horses that were grazing.

It was late at night, the wind rustled through the grass, Xiao Tong turned over, listened to the young man on duty at night, his footsteps seemed to stop, and the sound of muttering was gone, only a tree not far away, the bird was startled by something, and flew away with a few fluttering wings.

Xiao Tong suddenly opened his eyes, reflecting the silver-like moonlight around him, and noticed a flash of cold light not far away, as if someone was murderous, and he went towards the carriage with a blade.

All this, and the guy on duty at night fell to the ground and stopped talking, almost instantaneously. Xiao Tong sat up suddenly, his body seemed to be one step faster than his thoughts, and he arrived at the carriage in an instant. When there was a loud cry, and the assassin who had assassinated him made a move, the weapons collided, sending out a little spark, and both sides took a step back, Xiao Tong thought in his mind, no matter what, he couldn't let Zong Luo's sister be injured.

Zong Luo, who was resting in the carriage, obviously immediately noticed the almost silent fight outside, although there was only an extremely short crisp sound from the collision of weapons, but she still felt a strong internal force and killing intent when she was close at hand.

The pumpkin's small hammer swung out of the carriage violently, and Zong Luo took this opportunity to jump out of the carriage and stand aside, staring at the uninvited guest who suddenly came very vigilantly, tense and ready to do it at any time.

The strange shape of the person who came was like a ghost in the dark night, if it weren't for this person standing in front of you, even if you listened carefully, you wouldn't feel any of this person's breathing.

The air seemed to be silent at that moment, accompanied by the snoring of the sleeping guys around him, the burning fire shook, and the strange killer looked at Xiao Tong and was stunned.

In a moment, the killer seemed to be speechless, and withdrew the sword bell in his hand with a thud as if he was angry, and was about to leave.

was attacked rashly, and the other party was about to stop without giving an explanation, Zong Luo was unwilling in his temper, raised the pumpkin hammer, and slashed towards the back of the man's heart.

Xiao Tong's blocking this time was obviously much slower than the previous move, only flashed his body, and was repelled by one move, and Zong Luo, who staggered a few steps, took it in his arms, and in a hurry, he took the soft sword of the killer move, which was already in his waist, and only held the shoulders of the person in his arms with both hands, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Zong Luo shook his head and asked the man, "Who are you?" Why did you come to kill me? ”

The man was silent, still walking, Xiao Tong felt that his aura was inevitably embarrassing, so he responded for the man: "Mingyue Tower, collect money from people, and eliminate disasters for people." ”

Zong Luo said again: "Why did you suddenly leave again?" ”

"His scolding skills are better than his skills, because he can't beat me."

After saying this, Zong Luo looked at the person who left, and saw that the figure trembled for a moment, as if he had stepped on something and almost fell.

"You know?"

Xiao Tong nodded, "I know." ”

"You know a lot of people." Zong Luo admired against his heart.

"Average."

"Who told him to kill me?"

Xiao Tong thought for a moment and said: "His talent is born in scolding, and his kung fu is not superior, so the price in Mingyue Building is cheaper, I guess it is the Wu Changcai who escaped, desperately trying to kill you to take revenge." ”

Zong Luo looked at the killer and felt that he seemed to have heard Xiao Tong's words, but for some reason, he actually fell down the dirt hillside.

Zong Luo looked back at Xiao Tong again, first glanced at his soft sword wrapped in his belt, and exclaimed, "You look polite, but you are still a kung fu master." ”

Xiao Tong was also not humble, "I will do a little, but the gentleman speaks and rarely moves." ”

seems to have adapted to Xiao Tong's "mystery" and the extensiveness of his friends, Zong Luo has no bad intentions, and persuaded: "When I walked on the rivers and lakes with the dart game, I also heard the name of the Mingyue Tower, it is said that the people there are ruthless, you have to be careful, and don't enter the Mingyue Tower." ”

Seeing that Zong Luo was worried, Xiao Tong hurriedly explained: "Fortunately, there is an uncle and aunt who are in charge of some things in Mingyue Tower, so I have only met some people." ”

Zong Luo sighed with emotion: "It's my uncle and aunt again." ”

Xiao Tong was helpless, "When my mother was young, she liked to worship people everywhere, if it weren't for my father's refusal to obey, I am afraid that my mother would have been pulled by my mother to worship my brother." ”

“……”

When Zong Luo heard this, he was actually extremely envious in his heart, lowered his head and comforted himself: "My eldest mother, she is also very good to me, since I was a child, I made mistakes with my eldest brother, and my eldest mother only punished one eldest brother." ”

Xiao Tong's heart was as careful as a hair, and he noticed Zong Luo's slight changes, and he laughed a few times, and said with some apologies: "After marrying me, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you, the descendants on Qingyunling, except for black beans, have all been punished by my mother." ”

"Who's Black Bean?"

"My most loyal supporter."

Zong Luo was a little surprised, "Male and female." ”

"Male."

“……”

After chatting for a while, Zong Luo thought about Fang Cai's matter, and said, "What about Wu Changcai?" ”

"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape."

Zong Luo nodded, for no reason, he felt that he had a lot of trust in Xiao Tong.

As the night passed, the eastern sky began to be cloudy, and the dart team began to continue to move in the direction of Xinliang, and on the way, it was very peaceful, except for a few thieves who wanted to steal at night, everything else was quite smooth.

After arriving in Xinliang and handing over the remaining boxes to the people who connected them, a team of people walked around Xinliang City, tasted the local special snacks, bought some special products unique to Xinliang, brought them to the carriage, and gave them to the family after they were ready to go back.

The task was completed, Zong Luo was no longer anxious, she was still a young girl, so she called Xiao Tong to go to a fresh and lively place to take a turn, and decided to set off back to Qingzhou the next day.

When he was darts, Xiao Tong was not in a hurry, but now in Xinliang, he really wanted to leave quickly, because to his surprise, there were two people in Xinliang City that he was very reluctant to see at this time, and that person had been with him since childhood, he believed that once he arrived in Xinliang, that person would definitely know, but the current situation, this situation, is obviously not suitable for staging a drama of family reunion.

But in this world, he is always afraid of what comes, when he pretended to be amorous, shook a fan, inadvertently covered his face in the Xinliang City for a morning, returned to the inn just put his mind at ease, as soon as he entered the door of the inn, he heard an excited voice in his ears like thunder on a sunny day, and shouted: "Little Tongzi, Little Tongzi!" ”
