Chapter 42: Thousand Years of Ice
Besides, after Yu Qing, Guo Rong and others felt that things were not good, they set off early the next morning to prepare to leave Jiangling and go north.
However, when the group walked out of the inn, the inn was surrounded by a large number of officers and soldiers.
I saw a big man with the appearance of a big official riding a black horse, and drank: "What? Want to go? "He is none other than Gangneung.
Daddy stepped forward and bowed down: "I don't know what crime we have committed, to alarm the tall man to make such a big move?" ”
Guo Rong and Jie Chuan Daddy went to Nanping to do business, of course, they knew the temperament of Nanping King Gao Lezi, and naturally opened up some joints, among which this Jiangling Taishou Gao Ba also had to be filial piety, so he also knew him.
Gao Ba first said: "Mr. Jiexiao, don't you know the rules of my Nanping Kingdom?" ”
Guo Rong hurriedly said: "Lord Gao, we have always obeyed the laws of Nanping, even the king of Nanping himself has also given us three points of courtesy. ”
Gao Baxian sneered: "I see that you are pretending to be confused, I think this person in Jiangling in black and white, will not know that the thousand-faced demon Miss Zhao Feiyan is originally a girl from my Yichun Courtyard, you should know, I am also a person who is not profitable and can't afford to be early, you take my people away without saying hello, not only cut off my financial route, but also don't give me Gao face, if you leave with such a swagger today, how will I Gao still mix in Jiangling in the future?" ”
At this time, Liu Yushuang stood up and said, "Lord Gao, it's true that I am a girl from Yichun Courtyard, but we said it first, you earn your money, I will look for my people, and the person I am looking for will leave after finding it, isn't it?" The mother of Yishunin can testify. ”
"Humph! Is that so, Mother Wang? "It seems that this Gao Ba was prepared for a long time, and even brought the old bustard.
The old bustard stood up in fear and said, "Master, it's not like this, this Zhao Feiyan girl came to work in my Yichun Courtyard but signed and drew in black and white, she didn't say anything like this." After speaking, the old bustard took out the voucher.
Liu Yushuang's face turned pale and scolded: "You, you, you, despicable and shameless!" ”
Guo Rong knows very well that this Gao Baxian and his lord Gao Congzhi, the king of Nanping, are both virtuous, and they are the best at playing tricks, although one behaves like a humble gentleman, and the other looks like a complete ruffian hooligan, but they all have a common characteristic - asking for money. He said: "Master Gao, I will take people away today no matter what, and you can come out on the conditions!" ”
Gao Ba laughed first and said: "Boss Guo really understands people, since this is the case, I don't say secret words, just say it, you can choose two ways, one is to keep people, and the other is 100,000 taels of silver." ”
When Liu Yushuang heard this, she sneered: "One hundred thousand taels, you can grab it directly." ”
"Yes, I'm just robbing, can't I?"
"Okay! Why not? It's your territory, and you're in charge. 100,000 is 100,000, but you also know that the silver I brought with me this time was all used for tea, and now there is not so much cash. After Guo Rong finished speaking, he asked Daddy again: "Dad, how much silver do we have left?" ”
Daddy said, "It's only six thousand taels." ”
Yu Qing said: "I have a silver ticket of 5,000 here. ”
Guo Rong said: "Okay, brother, your 5,000 will be borrowed from the younger brother first." Lord Gao, the cash is 11,000 taels, and the rest, I will give you an IOU, and I will use my credit to guarantee it, and after three months, I will pay it off in one lump sum. ”
Gao Baxian sneered: "When I am a three-year-old child? Now that the war is in chaos, and you are gone, won't you be empty of people and money at that time? ”
Liu Yushuang said angrily: "Hmph! Brother Rong talks nonsense with him, if he wants it, don't forget it. ”
"Yo! The little lady has a bit of a temper, if you have money, get it quickly, otherwise you don't blame me for being polite. Gao Ba threatened first.
Liu Yushuang followed her master Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sword and Jade-faced Mother-in-law Li Dieyi at the age of eleven to walk the rivers and lakes, what the world has never seen, and she can't bear to be an arrogant and unreasonable person like Gao Baxian, I saw her pull out her sword and say, "Who dare to stand in our way?" Xin'er also drew her sword.
Yu Qing secretly complained: "My little aunt and grandmother, this is the territory of the King of Nanping, as the saying goes, a strong dragon is hard to defeat the head snake, no matter how high your martial arts are, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers!" ”
Gao Ba waved his hand first and said, "Give it to me!" The soldiers poured towards Yu Qing, Guo Rong and others like a tide.
I saw Liu Yushuang's long sword swinging, dancing like a butterfly collecting honey, it seemed to be extremely brisk, but wherever his sword wind went, the soldiers of Gao Baxian fell together. Xin'er also immediately overturned the two.
Daddy waved his pipe, and knocked down a few with a few snorts.
Yu Qing and Guo Rong didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and shouted while defending: "Don't fight, don't fight!" "But it can be shouted. Gao Baxian also joined the melee, only to see him make a hook and spear and stab at Guo Rong. Guo Rong swung his sword to block, but the hook and spear came too violently, and the barb scratched Guo Rong's right arm, and the blood flowed.
Seeing this, Liu Yushuang shouted: "Dog thief, Hugh has to hurt my officials!" Come on! ”
Before the words fell, a move came "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky" to take Gao Baxian directly.
Gao Baxian was dazzled, and countless sword shadows covered his head, and he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly used a move to pull out the mountain and defuse Liu Yushuang's fierce sword momentum.
Gao Baxian laughed and said: "The Thousand-Faced Demon Queen really lives up to her reputation, look at the move!" I saw that he made a continuous move to strike the sky, a move to sweep thousands of troops, and another move to open the world, the move was fast, the gun was deadly, and the small country of Nanping was poor and weak to survive in the troubled times. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to survive these few shots. But his opponent is indeed Liu Yushuang, the descendant disciple of Li Dieyi, the mother-in-law of the Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sword and Jade Face, she danced the long sword, her body was as light as a swallow, and she skillfully resolved Gao Baxian's fierce offensive.
After all, Liu Yushuang is a woman, and her internal strength is naturally incomparable with Gao Baxian, plus there are a large number of soldiers and colleagues attacking, although her swordsmanship is slightly better, but after the attack, she gradually feels powerless.
Seeing this, Guo Rong approached Liu Yushuang while fighting, and said, "Shuang'er, I'll help you!" ”
Liu Yushuang saw that her sweetheart was coming, and a warm current flowed all over her body, and she flew over to form an offensive and defensive formation with Guo Rong. One is strong, the other is soft, it is really a concubine, and the cooperation is seamless.
Yu Qing didn't want to kill people, so he moved and twisted, interspersed and divided, and the two sides formed a stalemate.
At this time, dust and smoke rose at the end of the street, and the shouts shook the sky, and the team rushed to this side in the dark.
Yu Qing shouted: "It's not good, Brother Rong, let's not fight, withdraw quickly!" Their reinforcements arrived, and they couldn't get out when they were late. ”
Guo Rong said: "It's too late, it looks like I'm going to be stuck here today." Only then did everyone see that the officers and soldiers had blocked all the exits of the entire street.
A middle-aged man wearing a holy crown and a dragon robe came here in a chariot under the protection of the three layers inside and the three layers outside the generals. A eunuch shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Gao Ba saw it first, hurriedly withdrew out, led the besieging men and horses to meet him and knelt down and bowed: "Minister, Gao Ba will see the emperor first, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Guo Rong and Jie Fall's father also put away their weapons and bowed: "See Emperor Nanping!" ”
The person who came was none other than Gao Congzhi, the emperor of Nanping, who was known as the "high leper". Gao Congzhi said: "Zhongqing is flat! Then he pretended to be angry and looked at Gao Baxian and said, "What a bold Gao Baxian, how dare you treat my distinguished guest like this?" ”
Gao Baxian hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister should die, please atone for the emperor!" ”
Guo Rong and others know the temperament of Nanping Kingdom very well, and they can't help but feel funny when they see this performance of a gentleman and a minister singing and harmonizing, it looks so natural, it is just like the real thing.
Gao Congzhi smiled and said, "Boss Guo, don't come to harm?" ”
Guo Rongji said: "Your Majesty, over the years, I, Guo, have been doing business in Nanping, and I have always abided by the laws of Nanping, and I have not paid less taxes. Is this the hospitality of your Nanping Emperor? ”
Gao Congzhi said: "Definitely! Definitely! Boss Guo was surprised by this, although Master Gao was a little reckless, he just wanted to stay with the guests for a longer time, and asked Boss Guo not to be surprised. Then he looked at Yu Qing and said, "Presumably this is Yu Shaoxia!" ”
Yu Qing couldn't help but wonder: "This King of Nanping has never met him, and he has always kept a low profile in the rivers and lakes, how can he know about me?" But since the king of Nanping recognized himself, he might as well admit it, so he said: "It is the grass people, and the grass people are in the Qing Dynasty to see His Majesty the Emperor of Nanping." ”
Gao Congzhi said: "Sure enough, it is a hero out of a young man, and everyone knows the feat of fighting the Khitan 3,000 cavalry alone in Shaoxia Yanmen Pass, no one knows it, and I can see it today, and I really have a heroic demeanor!" I have always cherished heroes, if Yu Shaoxia can stay to help me and work together for a great cause, wouldn't it be the supreme glory of my Nanping Kingdom? Young heroes can also become famous, isn't it a matter of time to worship the prime minister and marquis? ”
"Thank you Emperor Nanping for your kindness, the grass people came to Nanping this time just to find an old man, I have always been used to it, I don't know anything about the public affairs, and I am a grass people, and I don't dare to hope for the things of the marquis and the prime minister, or please ask the Nanping Emperor to be merciful and let us go!"
At this time, Gao Ba drank first: "Boldly Diao Min, my emperor appreciates you, that is an honor that you can't cultivate in eight lifetimes, you are still here to push three and four times, is it a toast and not eat and drink?" ”
Gao Congzhi stopped Gao Baxian's words and said: "Baxian, Hugh is rude, my Nanping Kingdom has always established the country with benevolence and righteousness, and governed the people with etiquette, how can it be difficult to strengthen people?" Anyway, since Yu Shaoxia is unwilling to help me, I am not reluctant, as long as you leave two things, you can leave safely. ”
Yu Qing asked, "Those two things?" ”
The king of Nanping said: "A piece of obsidian pendant, a book "One Word True Scripture". ”
Yu Qing was shocked when he heard this, and was secretly surprised: "How could he know about obsidian and the One Word True Scripture?" But he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't have any of these two things you said, I don't know who Your Majesty listened to?" ”
"Humph! Is it? A cold voice came.
Looking at the place where this voice came from in the Qing Dynasty, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's a shock when you look at it, who do you say he saw?
As far as the eye could see, he saw a monk wearing a Taoist crown, wearing a gossip purple and gold robe, a seven-star sword on his back, a three-foot dust whisk in his arms, a goatee, and a thin face.
The monk said to Gao Congxue: "Your Majesty, as far as Poor Dao knows, this peerless book "One Word True Scripture" and the rare treasure Nine Heavens Obsidian lie in Qing's body, since he keeps saying that he doesn't, as long as he sends someone to search for it, everything will be clear!" ”
Gao Congzhi said: "What the priest said is very true, Yu Shaoxia, do you think you handed it over yourself, or did I send someone to search for it?" ”
