Chapter 251: The Xiao Family's Aftermath
Xu Zizhen played for a few days in a row, he didn't eat much just drinking wine every day, and today he was locked up all day, so hungry that his hands and feet trembled a little, and he didn't care what kind of food he was, but the forbidden army didn't untie the chain in the end, but picked up the bowl and put it to his mouth to feed him.
"Serve well." Xu Zizhen was still grinning, the forbidden army just glared, and suddenly a series of screams came from outside the door, the two forbidden soldiers were shocked, and subconsciously wanted to rush out to see what was going on, but at this moment, the small skylight on the roof burst violently, and the broken tile rafters mixed with dust fell down on their heads and faces.
There was another figure in the sawdust and rubble in the sky, and before the eyes of the two forbidden soldiers could be opened by the dust, a long sword had already appeared in the figure's hand, and the rainbow flashed, and the necks of the two forbidden soldiers had been cut open, and they were killed on the spot.
What appeared in front of Xu Zizhen was a clear old man's face, his eyes were deep and sharp, wearing an ordinary gray cloth robe, a long sword in his hand did not look like a vulgar thing, holding it without moving was like a green wave circulating, Xu Zizhen glanced at the old man from top to bottom, and then fixed his gaze on his face.
"Don't be afraid, the old man ......" The old man waved his hand and put the sword into the sheath, his movements were chic and smooth, and he was about to say a few words of comfort to Xu Zizhen, but he found that people didn't look scared at all, but stared at him, looking very unhappy, which made him stunned.
Xu Zizhen suddenly scolded: "If you don't come early or late, you have to come up from the roof, look at this meat, can you still eat it?" ”
The food in the three large bowls has been covered with a thick layer of ash, and there are some pieces of rubble and wood chips, and the fat in his mouth is not edible, Xu Zizhen's mood is naturally not much better.
The old man was immediately furious, he became famous as a young man, and now he has been famous in the rivers and lakes for decades, how can anyone dare to talk to him like this? He raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "If it weren't for the old man to save you, you would have died under the knife of these two, aren't you afraid?" ”
Xu Zizhen moved the chains on his hands and feet, and said disdainfully: "How can Lao Tzu die so easily, no one can change what God decides...... Don't talk nonsense, help me get rid of this thing first, I'll go out to eat by myself, by the way, will you have a branch altar in Xingqing? I've never heard of it. ”
Will the world be? The old man was obviously stunned, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then he drew his sword again, and the chain was cut with a choking sound, and said lightly: "The old man is not a member of the world. ”
Xu Zizhen just stood up, and was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Isn't it?" Then you are ......"
The old man waved his hand and said no more, and two more men jumped in from outside the door, urging: "Hurry up, if it's too late, there will be changes." ”
Xu Zizhen came back to his senses at this time, he was still in the land of the officers and soldiers, and he still had time to chat with the old man.
The two men went back to explore the way, the old man accompanied Xu Zizhen and the other three people walked out carefully, there were several forbidden soldiers lying in the courtyard outside the door, and there was a smell of blood in the air, Xu Zizhen couldn't bear it, and silently said: "Brothers, I have wronged you, Lao Tzu will avenge this revenge for you sooner or later." ”
When Xu Zizhen came, he was sent in by the forbidden army with a cloth cover covering his head, and he didn't know what kind of place this was, and when he went out, he was stunned to find that this place was already outside Xingqing City, and the surrounding area was dark and empty, and a towering mountain in the distance was clearly visible in the moonlight.
Helan Mountain? Xu Zizhen understood at a glance where he was now, he had actually left Xingqing City, and he had run for dozens of miles.
The old man took Xu Zizhen in the night with him, and soon came to an intersection, he suddenly stopped and said to Xu Zizhen: "Xu Gongzi, you are safe now, the old man will leave!" ”
"Hey, wait!" Xu Zizhen grabbed him, "Who sent you to save me?" ”
The old man smiled faintly, and disappeared into the night without saying a word.
The surroundings became silent again, Xu Zizhen looked at the direction the old man left, only a little groaning and then walked up, Ohno leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Young master, why is it not the same as you expected, is it seen through?" ”
Now they are on a spacious mountain road, and there is no one around them who can see it at a glance, and they are not afraid of being overheard, Xu Zizhen shook his head and said: "Where is it so easy to see through, Lao Tzu is bloody this time, they have no follow-up action because the old fox is not at ease, thinking about observing for a while, wait, it is estimated that there are still tests waiting for us." ”
Ohno scratched her head and looked confused, obviously she didn't understand, Zhuo Ya was still a few steps away from Xu Zizhen, and most of Xu Zizhen's low voice didn't escape her ears, but her expression remained unchanged, she just didn't hear it, but her eyes changed slightly, and Xu Zizhen didn't pay attention.
"Let's go, find a place to eat and sleep first, Lao Tzu can't stand it!"
It is not difficult to hunt a few wild animals in the majestic Helan Mountain, and it is not long before the big wild horse comes back, he brings a few hares and a roe deer, washes and peels it clean, finds a sheltered col and makes a fire to roast it, and after a full meal, Xu Zizhen leans on a big tree and is in a daze.
When the old man rescued him, he deliberately said the three words of the world, and wanted to lure the old man to admit it and give him a chance to deceive himself, but people didn't accept the offer, nor did they say his identity, it is not difficult to see that the other party must have a backhand, as for the old man, except for the Xiao family, there is no one else.
Xu Zizhen thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, why did the old man pretend to be forced to pretend for a long time and finally left, what would be this back hand, his head hurt and he couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and fell asleep by the bonfire, and it didn't take long for the snoring to sound.
Zhuo Ya was lying not far away, secretly looking at Xu Zizhen's sleeping appearance, I don't know what it feels like, although Xu Zizhen hijacked Duoqi Zhuoma outside Jincheng Pass and then changed to hijack himself, but he didn't embarrass himself along the way, but gave priority to himself for anything delicious, and didn't do anything wrong with himself.
What exactly is this thief doing? Zhuo Ya was puzzled, and could only vaguely guess that his defection must have been premeditated, and the plan must be not small.
When he woke up, it was already dawn, Xu Zizhen didn't figure out what the Xiao family's next move was, but he had already decided his next step, that is, to go down the mountain first, along the ancient Great Wall all the way to the direction of Tubo, he "defected" to the Great Song Dynasty, and now Xixia can't tolerate himself, so he can only go to Tubo.
……
In the back hall of Xiao's Mansion, Taishi Xiao looked at a booklet in his hand unhurriedly, and said lightly: "Did he say anything?" ”
In front of him stood an old man, his eyes were sharp and unsmiling, it was the person who rescued Xu Zizhen, and he replied respectfully: "He thought that the villain was a member of the world, but the villain didn't recognize it." ”
"Well, what else?"
The villain asked him if he was not afraid. He replied: How can Lao Tzu die so easily, no one can change what God decides. ”
Taishi Xiao suddenly raised his head: "Did he really say that?" ”
