Chapter 21: Storm Rises Outside the City
Outside Jinling City, after the wind in front of the green, a small post station.
Except for some people who must be here who are busy in the inn, there is only one idle person, who has nothing to do here. Look closely, that person is Yun Ming!
He just stood, looking at the end of the road, motionless, as if waiting for someone.
Until the sun set, the surrounding emerald green was dyed red, and there was still no expected person at the end of the road, Yun Ming sighed and shook his head.
Someone next to him shouted to Yun Ming, "Hey, go back, come back tomorrow and wait." Usually no one comes at night, the bandits here are so powerful that ordinary people don't dare to walk at night. ”
Yun Ming smiled bitterly, looked back and bowed his hand to the kind shouter, "I'll wait a minute." ”
"Don't bother, maybe the person you're waiting for has already met a bandit and mishaps!"
As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves at the end of the road. Yun Ming hurriedly looked over there, only to see a shadow stretched slender by the setting sun gradually approaching.
"Look, isn't this coming?" Yun Ming smiled and straightened his clothes.
"How can it be alone?" The well-wisher was surprised, "How dare you run this road alone!" ”
Yun Ming smiled again and did not answer. And those who come from afar are also near. The man was a man, and he was seen riding a brown and red horse and a blue robe, looking extremely chic.
......The man in Tsing Yi stopped the horse not far in front of Yun Ming, and did not rush to dismount, but coughed on the horse.
"You've grown so big, and when I left Kyoto, you were just walking." Yun Ming looked at the man in Tsing Yi carefully, with a melancholy expression, and sighed alone, "Time is really fast, I'm so old." ”
The man in Tsing Yi didn't answer, it should be said that he couldn't answer, he covered his mouth with his cuffs, but he couldn't stop coughing, and his face turned pale.
Yun Ming frowned when he saw this, "You are not lightly ill, and you are still dragging this body to drive such a long way." But doesn't the letter say that you ride a white horse? ”
The man in Tsing Yi coughed for a long time, and finally relieved himself, glanced at Yun Ming, and didn't explain that he couldn't stop coughing, "The white horse is too bad, and he died halfway." As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed again, and after a while he added, "Fortunately, I met a bandit and robbed a horse, otherwise I would have been really worried." ”
"Fortunately, I met a bandit......" The well-wisher widened his eyes when he heard this, and left silently.
The man in Tsing Yi looked at Yun Ming, coughed, and said, "I was too young when you left, and I couldn't remember your appearance at all." After that, he dismounted, and said, "But Mr. Yun has the grace of giving me a name, so I will bow down first." ”
"No!" Yun Ming hurriedly said, helping the man in Tsing Yi who was about to bow and salute to his feet, "Ling Zun is very kind to my Yun clan, it should be you who are worshiped by Yun!" ”
The man in Tsing Yi didn't pretentiously, smiled slightly, and shook his head again, "Don't talk about my father, my father is incompetent and unsuccessful, but he has harmed the whole family." If Mr. Yun hadn't tried his best to protect me, I wouldn't be standing here. ”
"Humph!" Yun Ming's face immediately turned cold, "You don't understand your father at all, you dare to comment arbitrarily!" He is no worse than you, and in some places he is better than you. ”
"In the end he failed, didn't he? I'm a man who only looks at the results. ”
Yun Ming glanced deeply at the man in Tsing Yi and sighed, "You are certainly excellent, but after all, you have not experienced much." If it is in the future, you will know what it means to be destined, and you will also meet the person who will make you in your life. ”
"You've met the guy who killed you again?" The man in Tsing Yi looked dismissive.
"Thankfully, he's dead." Yun Ming raised his head to watch the brilliant sunset gradually set, but his eyes were full of loss, "You say, a person who can't even be defeated by loneliness, what can he use to defeat him?" ”
The man in Tsing Yi coughed lightly twice, not very interested in Yun Ming's words, "Don't talk nonsense, just get down to business." ”
Yun Ming sighed again, "For you, revenge is the right thing. Let me ask one more question. ”
"You say."
"Shouldn't the red dragon be in the hands of the Nan family? How could I see it in Jinling City today? ”
"Nan Xiao gave it to me, and I gave him to the only person who has the blood of the Dongfang family like me." The man in Tsing Yi said nonchalantly, "It's just a sword, although it's sharper, but it's a dead thing after all, Mr. Yun is so interested?" ”
Yun Ming didn't listen to the second half of the sentence at all, and after the man in Tsing Yi said the previous words, his eyes lit up and suddenly brightened. "In the letter, you never mentioned to me that you had met Meren!"
"He is a peerless sword that I want to hide well, and he will not show it easily."
"Peerless sword." Yun Ming suddenly felt a chill in front of and behind him, and regarded people as a sword......
"This living sword is much better than the dead sword of the red dragon." The man in Tsing Yi smiled mysteriously, "It's time to get down to business, right?" ”
In the early spring, everything is silent, the beasts hibernate, and in the quiet, there is only the sound of rain falling.
The distant mountains are sloping, and the rain is pouring down.
In the silence, a few sudden horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.
The horse's hooves stepped on the rain, crying wildly, so galloping forward, not slacking off for a moment, as if a second slower, facing the face of being buried in this cold rainy night.
"Aunt Hong, beyond the mountain in front of you is the boundary of Jinling, those people will not dare to pursue rashly." A team of horses of a dozen people galloped through the wind and rain. At the head of the horse team, a man dressed in navy blue stopped and reported to the woman beside him. The woman glanced at the carriage next to her.
"Faster and faster."
The woman frowned, looked back, and gave orders to the horse team.
This woman has a peachy face and bright eyes, and she looks extremely iconic. A pair of bright eyes but bloodshot, pale face, hair messy in the wind and snow. She held the whip tightly in one hand, the short knife in the other, her legs clamped the horse's body, and the strength of her hands was greater, and the whole person was like a sharp sword, piercing into the stormy night, cold and resolute.
Hearing the woman's order, everyone in the team became vigilant and couldn't help but clench the weapons in their hands.
Suddenly, another messy sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in the distance, a team of men in black followed closely at a gallop.
"Let's go! Keep going, don't stop! ”
The woman urged the team behind her, but before the words fell, there was a swishing sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air. Hurriedly raised his hand and drew the short knife, the blade spun rapidly in his hand, sweeping down the deadly feather arrow above his head. She stared at the ferry in front of her, not letting go of her movements for a moment.
Among the black-clothed people behind him, one person and one horse came out first.
He raised his horned bow and fired three arrows at the head of the caravan.
"Whoosh-"
In the blue-clothed horse team surrounding the woman, four people immediately jumped up and swept away the sharp arrows that broke through the air. Then slow down and turn around. Their faces were calm and cold, and the sword light in their hands surged against the black-clothed man who was chasing after them.
Seeing this, the man in black smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and then took four more feather arrows.
Relying on the deep internal force, after opening the bow, although the four feather arrows flew out together, the speed was fast and slow, and the power contained was different, which was obviously created exclusively for the four people. The four blue-clothed guards did not expect the black-clothed man to open his bow again, and he could not prevent it, so he could only use his body to block the menacing arrows. After being hit by the arrow, the four of them gritted their teeth, didn't look at it, raised their swords in their hands, and quickly cut off the arrow body outside their bodies. endured the sharp pain like a fire, like a wild wolf, and rushed straight towards the man in black.
The man in black also drew his sword in response, and his figure was swift.
In an instant, the sword light was everywhere, and the warm blood stained the vast snow.
In the roar, the swords collided, and only the mournful roar of the horses could be heard, and the mourning was everywhere.
The four blue-clothed guards were already not high in martial arts, and at this moment, they were poisoned by arrows, and in the face of a large number of well-trained black-clothed men, they were obviously moths to the fire and hit stones with eggs. But at this moment, all they have to do is to hit the stone with an egg and try to delay time for the woman.
