"Ah, virtuous nephew, you are finally leaving, uncle is really reluctant to let you go."

"Uncle, everyone has known each other for a long time, there is no need to be so hypocritical, and besides, this place is so remote, no one will chase after you, what are you afraid of?"

“… However, Uncle will have to go back one day! ”

In Wuqi Town, Yun Chongbo and others have lived for the third day, this morning is the time for the ship to leave Jin, Hua Shengrong seems to be moved by the true feelings, and Yun Chongbo is reluctant to give up, and he also shed a few tears, which makes Yun Chongbo very moved, but his heart is a little worried: "Uncle actually did this with enough money, what do you want to do from me?" It can't be that he is eyeing the sea, he shouldn't know that this thing is valuable..."

As a result, until the two of them were sent out of the door with great enthusiasm, Hua Shengrong did not make any "non-share" requests, except for only stopping the care and not stepping out of the threshold, there was really nothing for Yun Chongbo to find fault with, and in the end, he still left with a little bit of guilt towards Hua Shengrong.

Sending Yun Xiao and the others away, Hua Shengrong covered the door, and seemed to be greatly relieved, leaning his back against the wall, closing his eyes, touching his stomach, and exhaling a long breath.

"Phew..."

Then, a cold voice suddenly came from inside the house.

"You're really good at pretending."

As soon as he heard this, Hua Shengrong suddenly became excited, and suddenly returned to his smiling face, and smiled shyly into the room: "I have to deceive this kind of child, but what about a character like your uncle?" As he spoke, he kept looking into the room, but his expression was far from being submissive, but a little ghostly.

"Hmph, take it."

The man was obviously familiar with Hua Shengrong's temperament, and threw out a heavy bag, Hua Shengrong took it easily, pinched the bag, and smiled, while putting the bag into his arms, he said in a big voice: "In the end, the uncle is arrogant, as soon as you give it, you will definitely be able to make your wishes come true in the future, big..." The man seemed to know that he was so lazy, snorted, and said, "Let's get down to business." ”

… The next conversation, if any of the high-ranking generals or strategists of the Blackwater Army heard it, would definitely be dumbfounded, and some of them would even be red-faced or furious, and would correct Hua Shengrong and ask him what he was all about.

Yizhuang is also harmonious, in the gushing speech, Hua Shengrong actually put the layout of the Heishui military horses around Pingluo City, and the temperament and hobby of guarding the land and military in Pingluo City, all the way to the north, he also reported the number of garrisons and guards from Pingluo City to the north of the town, and the number of guards who are the guards, and talked for nearly an hour, before he stopped, and said with a smile: "How, is it worthy of the uncle's money bag?" ”

The man bowed slightly in the room, but said, "What about the guy who assassinated many generals of the Black Water Army, is there any clue?" ”

Hua Shengrong was stunned for a moment, his face was a little disappointed, and said, "This..."

The man smiled and said, "Oh." ”

He added: "But I still don't know a little about Pingluo. ”

"Your investigation is indeed as dense as a silk net, but, I have repeatedly emphasized that there must be something to detect about the location of the various hidden forts outside Pingluo City and the distribution of troops, why haven't you even found out at all?"

Hua Shengrong heard him ask about this section, his expression was slightly uneasy, and said: "This, of course I also have an investigation, but that guy from Heishui Tuoba..."

The man chuckled, "I know. ”

"You got a handful of scrap iron and pretended to be a killing knife, and sold it to him, which made him very annoyed, and he said that he was going to skin you alive."

"The big thing is ahead, you still gamble your life like this to be greedy for temporary wealth, I really have nothing to say, you are just a liar who loves money, and I can't do it for this, but..."

The voice gradually slowed down, and it gradually turned cold, and at the same time, the lightning-like sight also came out of the house, firmly locking Hua Shengrong's figure.

"If you say, it's all your calculations, and you're going to use it to meet what I want... Then, you say, should I blame you, should I kill you? ”

“… Uncle, you are wronged! ”

After a moment of frustration, Hua Shengrong spinelessly fell to the ground, trembling like chaff, begging bitterly there.

"The villain is just a liar, a liar, the villain said that day, as long as the uncle you pay the money, the villain can immediately dig out his conscience and sell you, this year the business is not good, like the uncle is blessed with great luck, and the generous customer is not found with a lantern at all, how can the villain play two sides and three knives on you? It's really a villain who is confused for a while, and the desire for profit is consumed, so he made a big mistake, uncle, your eyes are like electricity, and you will definitely be able to see thousands of miles..."

Let him plead bitterly, but the man was unmoved, and said coldly: "You said that you sold my conscience, and I also believed it, left and right... I don't believe you still have any conscience, but I've heard that for a Xia person, he is determined to sell all his dignity, and when it comes to his ancestor Sangzi, he will hesitate. ”

"Are you the same kind of person?"

Hua Shengrong stumbled like a smashing onion, and said anxiously: "Uncle, who are you listening to, it's all nonsense made up by their readers, in order to be dead, I don't know what ancestors for thousands of years put the money in their hands and don't take it, who has ever seen such a fool..."

(This man...) ）

Hesitating, the man who had always been unpredictable in everything had no choice for a while.

Kill, blame, release, reward. The four simplest methods, he couldn't choose, just because, although he had the insight to see the changes of the clan through the thousands of miles of grassland, he couldn't see through this man.

If he can't see through things, he won't make decisions, and he is cautious and delicate, and he will never easily crush a "*" in his heart.

The man in front of him, who is like a pig and dog, behaves so meanly, so dirty, so... It disgusted him and made him hesitate to doubt himself.

That cowardice, that shamelessness, that would make any normal man look down on him... How can it be commensurate with his own doubts, how can a man who is so muddy and muddy have the kind of principles and bottom lines that he doubts? And, that seamless wisdom?

(Monster...) ）

Hesitating, his right hand was already stretched out, but finally did not strike. What stopped him was the noisy footsteps coming from outside.

"Uncle, open the door!"

When Yun Chongbo called the door weakly, the man had disappeared from the hall, and at the same time, he also struck a piece of red gold into Hua Shengrong's arms, of course, intentionally or unintentionally, the gold ingot hit Hua Shengrong's chest, giving him a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. At the same time, eight cold words were punched into Hua Shengrong's heart.

(Foolish memorization, so as to do it yourself...) ）

(Hey, that's dangerous...) ）

Breathing in pain, Hua Shengrong weighed the gold ingot, but in the end, he still smiled, beat the dirt on his body, and hurriedly opened the door, but he was still wondering in his heart: "Why did they come back again?" It's so dangerous, I almost broke through..."

"Hello, uncle."

Saying listlessly, Yun Chongbo squeezed into the room, his expression was very ugly, and Xiao Wenshuang, who was following him, was not much better, no matter how he looked at his face, he didn't mean to be happy, but Hua Shengrong was worried in his heart, and he didn't understand what was going on, and he knew that Xiao Wenshuang had always been very reluctant to buy his embroidered account, and he didn't dare to speak easily, just chattered and asked some trivial things about Yun Chongbo, and didn't dare to look at Xiao Wenshuang, suddenly because her body flashed, and she caught a glimpse of what was behind her, and she was taken aback, I was stunned there.

"Hello, uncle."

The person who was talking timidly actually stood behind Xiao Wenshuang all the time, just because he was much shorter than her, he couldn't see it.

It was a girl who looked at most sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in gray purple clothes, and the material was not bad, but I don't know how long it had not been washed, the thread was open, and it was dirty, just like this girl who looked delicate and weak, pitiful, or had also smiled in the spring breeze, but she couldn't help but be frustrated by many storms, she was already tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and she could only rely on it, and relax and rest for a while. A total of a total of gloomy helplessness, written in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, the bottom of the heart and chest, is a midnight dream, and I dare not startle back, so as not to cause a pillow of tears.

… There is a way, don't mention it, mention the tears in the rivers and lakes.

This girl, in fact, is not very good, far less than Xiao Wenshuang's posture, but at a glance, it is so delicate, so soft, so that people can't help it, there is a sense of "I see pity", Rao is Hua Shengrong deceived the rivers and lakes for decades, a stone heart that recognizes money and does not recognize people, the oil and salt that have been polished early do not enter, water and fire do not invade, just see this girl's appearance, but also a soft heart, there are actually some heroes who want to "waste money and help the poor" The heart is about to surge up, fortunately, he has also seen many worlds, only a trance, and came back to his senses early, Hurriedly stopped the right hand that was about to take out the money bag, and scolded himself in his heart for "no interest", but he was a little surprised: "Damn, there are always hundreds of beautiful girls who have seen Lao Tzu, but there have never been such a thing, this girl is a little evil, is it some kind of fox charm to transform into a human form..."

… When Hua Shengrong finally knew the origin of this girl, it was nearly an hour later.

It turned out that when Yun Xiao and the two went to the port to take a boat, the big ship was loading the goods, and it was crowded, and the two did not want to collide with people, so they stood by their hands and wanted to wait for the quiet before boarding the ship, but they saw that the girl looked haggard and was surrounded by several fierce men.

"Oh, uncle understands, and then your blood is surging, and your heart is attacking... No, it's not right, it's an attack of ambition, righteousness and bravery, beating that group of bastards to the ground, and the hero saves the beauty, right? ”

Hua Shengrong, who was already a little drunk, squinted his eyes and smiled ambiguously, patting Yun Chongbo's shoulder heavily, but... In response, Yun Chongbo showed a very embarrassed smile, and Xiao Wenshuang, who was sitting next to him, showed a very ugly face.

It turned out that at that time, Yun Chongbo, as Hua Shengrong said, had some intention of drawing a knife to help when he saw injustice, but was stopped by Xiao Wenshuang, who was unwilling to do much.

As far as Xiao Wenshuang is concerned, the safe departure of the two is the first priority, under this premise, anything that will attract the attention of others is not appropriate, this Hua Shengrong has already seen, of course, he will not go to ask why, just shrunk his neck, patted Yun Chongbo's head with some sympathy, and said nothing else.

Unexpectedly, the sky did not fulfill Xiao Xiao's wish, and a strange change was born suddenly, and the girl suddenly rushed out from the crowd on board, hugged Yun Chongbo and cried bitterly, and called his cousin again and again, begging him to rescue.

This thing is really too bizarre, Rao is Xiao Wenshuang has always been careful, and he didn't expect to make such a scene, and when a few evil men approached with their sleeves and arms folded, Yun Chongbo, who had already seen them unhappy, couldn't hold back anymore, and hit with his shot, although he still had internal injuries that had not healed, but when he had already made a move, how could Xiao Wenshuang turn a blind eye anymore?

"And as a result, you didn't expect those guys to be the majority shareholders of this ship, although they can't beat you, and there is no reason to bring this girl back, but they just won't let you get on the boat?"

"yes..."

Dejected, Yun Chongbo's voice became smaller and quieter, especially not forgetting to peek at Xiao Wenshuang's face, seeing that Hua Shengrong sighed greatly in his heart, and said in his heart: "A woman is really still a woman, no matter how obedient she was at the beginning, she still has to turn her face and be the master after all, it can be seen that Lao Tzu is really wise not to marry a wife in his life..."

While sighing in his heart, Hua Shengrong raised his hand again, sandwiched a chopstick dish to eat, and immediately appreciated it again, and praised it: "Good craftsmanship, really good craftsmanship, if you really have such a craft, a cousin, it will be a blessing..."

He praised here, and the purple-clothed girl over there had already brought over a plate of fragrant shredded meat, and happened to hear Hua Shengrong's praise, and his face suddenly turned red again, and he smiled: "Uncle, you are really polite." Bian said to Yun Chongbo: "Cousin, is this dish to your taste?" If it's salty and uncomfortable, I'll go back again..."Yun Chongbo was already sitting on pins and needles, and said busily: "You, you... Don't call me cousin anymore, okay! ”

The girl was stunned for a moment and whispered, "... Be. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he sobbed and cried.

When Hua Shengrong saw this, he was arrogant again, stood up with the strength of wine, slapped Yun Chongbo on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Bastard, such a beautiful girl, with good craftsmanship, calling your cousin is worthy of you, and you are still such a big shelf, do you have to call your brother to do it?" ”

Yun Chongbo was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, uncle, you listen to me...", but the girl whispered: "No, this uncle, you misunderstood the son." ”

"It was the slave family who was disillusioned at the time, and when they saw that the son was handsome and upright, he was a righteous man and a gentleman, so he took a risk, and he could be reincarnated in the sky, at that time... At that time, the slave family had already made up their minds, if it didn't work, wait for the boat to reach the middle of the stream, find a chance to jump, that is, yes, it's better than going with those wicked people..."As she spoke, she fell into tears again, she raised her hand to wipe it, and said: "Calling cousin Gongzi, it's not that the slave family has the courage to climb high, but I really hope that if those wicked people can believe it, if they feel that the slave family has relatives, they will be able to restrain themselves, then thinking that they are so bold that they even risk offending Gongzi... And this sister. As he spoke, he put on his clothes in front of Xiao Wenshuang again, and said with a deep blessing: "Thank you, sister." Xiao Wenshuang snorted, but in the end she returned the salute and helped her up.

Hua Shengrong's eyes were beating wildly, and he was greatly surprised in his heart, and thought: "This girl has eyes, and she can even see that the dead girl is not a man..." In his heart, he didn't have the slightest envy for Yun Chongbo, but felt a little sympathy.

Then I heard the girl whisper, "Besides, the slave... The slave family did have a cousin when he was young, and he often walked around the slave family's house at that time. (Hua Shengrong sneered, and thought: "Dry firewood is good for cooking, cousin and cousin are good to marry, what cousin, it's almost the same to say that he is a love brother", look at Xiao Wenshuang, but he didn't dare to speak) Because his eyebrows were indeed a little similar to Gongzi before, the slave family was nonsense for a while, and then he said by mistake, since Gongzi didn't like it, the slave family would never dare..."

Yun Chongbo had never seen such a scene, only felt helpless, when he wanted to wipe the tears for the girl, but he didn't dare, he was really restless, seeing that her tears did not stop, but he didn't cry, but his body was so thin that he couldn't help but tremble lightly, his heart was very pitiful, and he felt self-blame, so he said: "You, don't cry, there's nothing high or high, you, you... Say whatever you want! The last sentence is so urgent that it is almost self-defeating.

Suddenly, hearing a bang, Xiao Wenshuang stood up and strode out.

Hua Shengrong's heart was happy, and he thought: "This dead girl also has today, so good!" Seeing that Yun Chongbo looked a little confused, obviously unclear, he shook his head again, and said in his heart: "Boy, I don't understand, the sadness is still behind!" But suddenly he remembered something, and asked the girl again: "I have been talking for a long time, but I have forgotten to ask, what is your name?" ”

The girl's eyes blinked a few times and she whispered, "My name is Xiaoyin." ”

Three days later, at the Wuqi ferry, a big ship is slowly approaching, the cars and horses on the shore are intertwined, all of them are waiting to barge the small business, as for the people waiting to get on the ship, it will not appear yet, unload the goods, load the new goods, and then wait for the sailors who have been suffocated to the red eyes to land on the shore to make a fire, and fill a belly of old wine and fresh vegetables, there must be a day to be enough, in fact, the time to open the ship downstream in the notice is the unitary time.

However, Xiao Wenshuang had already arrived nearby.

Although she was indeed in a hurry to leave Jin South, Xiao Wenshuang was not in a hurry to the point where she could feel at ease by watching the big ship barge get off the passengers, and although she was in a place where she could see everything that happened on the dock, it was still far away from the dock, and it would be difficult to detect her presence on the dock if she wasn't a caring person.

(Hopefully, it's all my suspicion...) ）

What made Xiao Wenshuang come here early in the morning was the sound of horses' hooves that rang in the town in the middle of the night last night, rushing into the town from outside the town, and there was no movement like a mud cow entering the sea, although there was indeed an extra team of foreign horses in the town when he got up this morning, but in Xiao Wenshuang's eyes, the number of people, the horses could not correspond to the sound of horses' hooves that had been as fast as a rainstorm last night.

After noticing that something was wrong, Xiao Wenshuang remained silent, pretending to buy some morning food, and went around the town for half a circle, and although everything was as usual on the surface, she still found some very subtle abnormalities, and after summarizing them one by one, she was even more stunned to find that all the arrangements were actually coming to the dock!

(What does that mean, is there some big man coming, or are we hiding and are going to ambush us when we get on board?) ）

For the latter point, Xiao Wenshuang didn't think that there would be a great possibility, but no matter what, it would always be if the two big words "trouble" jumped in front of him on their own, and as soon as he thought of this, Xiao Wenshuang couldn't help but have a nameless anger rising in his heart.

(Really, if it weren't for that girl...) ）

Although Xiao Wenshuang has excellent cultivation and has always been extremely polite to Yun Chongbo, but in the past few days, every time he thinks of this, he can't help but be angry, and his eyes looking at Yun Chongbo will be somewhat disrespectful.

"Smell the frost, you see, the ship is moored."

Early in the morning, Yun Chongbo wanted to have a good night's sleep, but Xiao Wenshuang called here to take a look together, which was quite sleepy, and felt that the silence was even more depressed, so he casually said some nonsense, hoping to explain this inexplicable atmosphere.

Xiao Wenshuang sighed, but didn't continue, just stared at the traveler who was rushing down.

The so-called gossip between the two has always been like this, Yun Chongbo didn't feel awkward, and said to himself: "That's right, Xiaoyin also said last night, she has never been to Qingzhou, I heard that the food there is very spicy, and the uncle is afraid that she will not be used to eating it, so he volunteered to go out and buy something that is not spicy for us to bring..."

After a few days of sitting and talking, Yun Chongbo had already told Xiaoyin that the two wanted to go south, she was very happy, the Tao was originally in Songzhou, and she only asked the two of them to bring it to Songxilei County, and then they could return home, Yun Chongbo naturally agreed, although Xiao Wenshuang wanted to stop it, but he was finally half a step late, and he felt that he couldn't find the words to dissuade him, so he had to let him, but he was unhappy in the end, and when he heard this at the moment, he was even more displeased, only to feel a burst of blood churning in his chest, and he couldn't help but suddenly think: "You never asked me if I could eat spicy food." ”

Fortunately, Yun Chongbo then asked: "Wen Shuang, I heard that the chili peppers in that place are indeed very powerful, how are you, can you eat them?" ”

Xiao Wenshuang's heart was slightly wide, and she said in a low voice: "I don't care, I can eat anything." He was slightly proud of his words.

Yun Chongbo was disappointed and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, I didn't see you for a while when Uncle went out last night, but I thought that you rarely add hot sauce to noodles these days, so you shouldn't be able to eat it, so I asked Uncle to buy you more copies, wouldn't it be a waste, but it would be a waste to kill Xiaoyin..."

Xiao Wenshuang only felt a pang in her chest, and said, "It's okay, I'll eat." ”

He whispered again: "Gongzi Xie." ”

Yun Chongbo grinned and said with a smile: "What's polite..."Xiao Wenshuang's expression suddenly tightened, and said, "It's coming." ”

At this time, the boat on the shore has already been moored, and the guests have already gone down, only a few slow-walking individual passengers are at the end, laughing and walking slowly along the pedal, Xiao Wenshuang's eyes are like electricity, and it is the last two people who are staring closely.

The two of them walked down silently, each wearing straw sandals, wearing a short kudzu robe, wearing a bamboo hat, and carrying a small burden on their backs, which is the typical dress of the mountain people in Qingshan.

When it was about to get off the boat, there was a sudden commotion on the dock, and I saw a few splashes fighting for some reason, and the surrounding one or twenty people couldn't disassemble it, and several people scuffled and scolded all the way, and gradually came to the front of the boat.

Xiao Wenshuang sneered, but said: "Son, be careful, don't make any moves, there is a master here today." ”

Yun Chongbo was stunned for a moment, and agreed for a while, but he was still a little confused.

By this time, the two of them had stepped off the pedal, but the few splashes also happened to twist in front of them, and one of them seemed to stumble, staggering, and crashing into the person in front of him.

Suddenly I heard a miserable scream!

In the white light, blood splashed, and the splash skin that hit it had been cut off by something, this change came too quickly, until the person flew up on his upper body, especially he didn't know, until he looked down and saw that his feet were still on the ground, Fang screamed, it was heartbreaking!

The few splashes were stunned for a moment, exhaled, and jumped back together, their skills were fast and steady, and there was a hideous look on their faces.

The first bamboo hat man put his hands behind his back and sneered slightly: "If it's a character, don't hide your head and show your tail, just go together." ”

From the beginning to the present, he has never seen a weapon in his hand, and he really can't see how the splash skin was killed before.

Those splashes looked at each other, and suddenly raised their arms and shouted: "The old man is an official army, and the demons of Taiping Dao are arrested here today, and those who want to die don't get in the way!" As he spoke, he heard the sound of murder, and hundreds of men in civilian clothes poured out from all over the road with knives and guns, and gathered at the wharf, and saw the sails and oars on the water, and six or seven wooden boats were lined up, blocking the downstream.

The two of them were fearless in the face of this crisis, and the first one laughed and said: "The Demon Army of the Emperor Family, isn't it death?" As he spoke, he was already on the ground. On the one hand, he already said: "Three points of Western Gengxin Jin, line up to kill the goblins, I would like to ask the Saint Taiyi Jun to give him a magic weapon..."

“… Wu Hook Sword! ”

As he spoke, the man rushed forward, and with a wave of his right hand, a large pengqing light had already spilled out of his hand, condensing into a seven-foot sword, slashing at the dry skin.

These people can be ordered to snipe first, they are not mediocre, although they are only a companion with a blow, but they are not afraid at all, and in the shouting, they have swung their swords and drew their swords, blocking the sword.

Unexpectedly, when the weapons were in order, those people felt that their hands were completely powerless, and they passed through the sword as if they had slashed into the void, and when they hurriedly retracted their strength, they all flashed their hands and waists, and at this time the big sword had already swept in, only to hear the humming blood, and suddenly two more people were miserably!

"Fuck, how is that sword fake!"

"But how can a fake one kill someone?"

These people are actually junior and junior colonels in the Blackwater Army, and they have always been accustomed to battle formations, but they are all fought by real knives*, where have you seen such strange things? But he reacted quickly, and while he had already stepped back, he thought: "Grandma, this guy is really a demon!" ”

At this time, the armies of the Quartet had already met, and the man didn't care, and waved the "Wu Hook Sword" left and right, only to see the big Peng Qingguang gushing, although the soldiers blocked with swords and guns, but it was difficult to touch the real thing, and they couldn't stop the sword at all, and several people were killed in a blink of an eye.

But a few people were irritable and shouted in unison: "Mom, since this knife is fake, they rushed up and hacked him to death with a knife!" As he spoke, he shouted, and sure enough, he swung his knife from three sides and surrounded him, but he rushed forward without protecting himself, swinging his knife and slashing.

The man laughed and said, "What a guts." With a shake of his right wrist, the sword light bent into a circle, blocking his side, those people originally expected that his sword would not touch the gold and iron, and he could not block the weapon, and rushed up together with a desperate heart, and they all felt that "sparing his sword is only enough to kill two or three people, and the remaining few knives, how can he be hacked to death!" Unexpectedly, the big knife fell, but it was like hitting a golden stone, and it seemed that there was a sudden lightning strike, which shocked several people and made their bodies numb, and they couldn't figure it out: "Fuck, how did this sword become real again?" At that time, the man had already taken this opportunity to swell with a sword light, and he had already assassinated all of them.

There was a big uproar among the surrounding soldiers, and the spear was handed forward, forming a circle with a diameter of several zhang on the side of the man, the man sneered, waved his hand, and immediately cut off six or seven spear heads, held the sword in his backhand, looked up at the sky, and said lightly: "Just such a person, you also want to stop my brother?!" ”

(Non-real and non-virtual, also real and virtual, cutting iron is not rolled, water can be divided...) If this is the magic weapon "Wu Hook Sword" forged by Taibai Yin Gold in the West, then this one should be the Tai * brother in the "Eight Deceits of the Divine Plate" under the seat of the Jade Pure People? ）

Joy and sorrow in his heart, Xiao Wenshuang was difficult to decide for a while: the happy one, the "Shenpan Eight Deceptions" is the core figure of the Yuqing lineage, and the status in the Taiping Road is slightly lower than the "Nine Generals of Tianmen" who guard the Taiping General Altar, but the strength is comparable, and it has always been the main force of Yuqing to pioneer the Taoists in the south and set up altars to pray for differences, and now two of them are sent to Jinzhou, which means that Yuqing began to have doubts about everything that happened here, and will bring these henchmen to the south, which is the time of employing people. The worried, on the other hand, are worried about their safety, and for something deeper and more terrible.

The ambush of such a battle, of course, will not come out of nowhere, that... It was only when the news of the two of them coming here was leaked that it attracted such a stern wait.

However, for the Taiping Dao who has lived in the dark for a long time, the importance of "secrecy" has always been related to life and death, and all along, the Taiping Dao has created all kinds of secret words, ciphers and even bizarre methods to ensure that information is transmitted safely, and at the same time, there are strict restrictions on the intelligence resources that everyone can share.

Of course, she didn't have much hope for the giant gate, but Xiao Wenshuang believed that the cautious Jade Halal Zhenren would never easily leak such a thing, and when she got rid of it, she only thought of one possibility, one that frightened her:

(On the side of the Jade Halal, there are already unreliable people...) ）

Thinking about it carefully, this is actually not a strange thing, different from the emperor's surname, Jumen and Taiqing represent the "authenticity" of the Taiping Dao, and the entire southern Taoist people are fundamentally one and the same, if there are people who are loyal to them more than Yuqing in the southern Taoists, it is not surprising at all.

(No, you have to get in touch with the real person as soon as possible...) ）

Thinking like this, Xiao Wenshuang unconsciously glanced at Yun Chongbo beside him again, and frowned secretly.

She has been watching from the side, of course, she will not have the conceit and arrogance of Taiyin, the bystander is clear, she has already noticed the strangeness on the small high platform about two hundred steps away in the southeast, and at the same time, confident that no one in Jinzhou can threaten her life now, Xiao Wenshuang is also ready to take action at the most critical time, to teach the person who thinks he is a yellow bird to know that there are still projectiles in this world.

However, when looking at Yun Chongbo, Xiao Wenshuang, she still hesitated.

(The undead, his power has not yet been restored...) ）

Today's Yun Chongbo is said to be qualified to become a first-class combat force: he has both speed and judgment, a bunch of miscellaneous martial arts, among which there are some extremely powerful moves, and he also has a strong soldier that any swordsman would dream of, and the eighth-level power that once appeared on him...

But, alas, it was only "once" that appeared in him.

The internal injuries have not healed, sometimes they will erupt with amazing and uncontrollable destructive power, but more often it is just a torture that makes him unbearable, such a cloud chongbo can no longer be reassuring in the white-knuckle melee, to put it bluntly, he can't even play to the extent that Xiao Wenshuang saw him for the first time, if there is really chaos, or Xiao Wenshuang has ninety percent confidence to protect him, but, when this is completely the enemy's land, and I don't know how many ambushes the opponent still has, Xiao Wenshuang, She didn't dare to risk even a tenth of the danger.

(Alas, I hope that the other Daoist brother who has never made a move has enough strength to make the people over there retreat...) ）

The chaos at the dockside continues.

As a Taoist priest, he has a very profound martial arts cultivation, and he has such a strange weapon, although Taiyin is a hundred blows, but he is calm, the sword attack must have blood splashes, and the sword guard must have a blade to fly, and he is guarding the ship alone, although the black sailors are hundreds, but they can't attack the seven-foot sword circle drawn by his Wu hook. Seeing Xiao Wenshuang also secretly envious: "No wonder there were people in the south who boasted, saying that if purely in terms of martial arts, they would have the confidence to completely defeat my nine generals in Tianmen.

But Yun Chongbo asked curiously: "Wenshuang, I think it's a little strange, he, why is he just slashing around with a sword for half a day, and a spell is useless, but it's not like your Taiping Dao, uh... We are people of the Taiping Dao..."

As soon as he asked, Xiao Wenshuang immediately retracted his mind and said, "Yes, they mainly cultivate Danli Technique, and they have always been like this." ”

Yun Chongbo and Xiao Wenshuang have been walking together for several months, and it is no longer Wuxia Ameng, so he sighed and said, "You mean, they are different from you, and they mainly cultivate the Dao technique of refining pills and casting magic weapons?"

Xiao Wenshuang nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

He also said: "Yuqing Zhenren is one of the best Danli masters in the world, and the eight deceits of the Shenpan are trained by him, so they are naturally refined in this stream, and they are not very proficient in the Heaven and Earth Technique, the Hidden Ming Technique, etc., and they rarely use spells to complement the enemy, mainly relying on their respective forged magic weapons to defeat the enemy." ”

Yun Chongbo was very interested, and said with a smile: "Magic weapon? ”

Xiao Wenshuang said: "Yes, in fact, they are also the same as us, dividing the five elements of the power, but we are internalizing the source of the Dao and using convergence, they are the magic weapon of external injection, defeating the enemy, and there is not much difference between them and us in their bones, such as the current one, named Taiyin, who mainly practices Western Yin Jin, and his magic weapon 'Wu Hook Sword' is cast by Taibai Yin Jin, when he broke the army... Many of the spells cultivated by the broken army, he actually used the Wu Hook Sword, but it was not clear in the sword momentum, and the effect was not as strong as the pure technique attack, but it was more convenient to shoot, and there was no need to pinch the trick to burn the talisman, and it was difficult for others to counter. ”

He said: "You see, his sword body is spinning now, obviously it is only half a circle to the left, but he can also shake the knife on the right side of his body, which is actually the 'phantom gold barrier' in the gold spell." ”

Yun Chongbo didn't seem to understand, nodded and said, "Oh." ”

And said: "Then, the one behind him, the guy who has been lifeless, like a wooden stake, what kind of treasure has he refined?" ”

Xiao Wenshuang paused and said, "I don't know." ”

He also said: "They have been preaching and preaching in the south with the Yuqing people, and they have not been in Jinzhou for many years, and I don't know most of them. ”

Yun Xiao and the two spoke, the battle group never stopped, only to see the sword light on the riverside, coming and going to chase the soul, but a cup of tea, there were twenty or thirty corpses lying in front of Taiyin, but he was unharmed, not only that, as if he was intimidated by his unpredictable sword momentum, the fighting spirit of the sergeants has gradually faded, although they are still shouting loudly to form an encirclement, but they have retreated farther and farther, and gradually have a distance of more than ten steps.

Taiyin laughed loudly: "No one dares to come to the Dao Master to die?!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a calm voice shouting: "Release!" ”

Immediately, if the flying mangs can cover the sun!

At the same time, the soldiers in the front row held their heads and fell down at the same time, suddenly dozens of crossbows were taken out from the shoulders of the soldiers in the back row, not to mention not to speak, aiming at Taiyin and shooting, this crossbow fired five arrows, these people are very skilled, and in an instant, hundreds of black black crossbow arrows have been seen like thirsty crows throwing water towards Taiyin, this time it changed suddenly, although the Taiyin sword is fast and strong, but it is also difficult to succeed in its skills, and it was stunned for a while.

"Insect carving skills."

In the midst of the scornful laughter, the other person who had been sitting on the pedal finally made a move.

As he stepped forward, he waved his right hand, and immediately saw the dazzling golden light flashing, turning into a red glow, engulfing him and Taiyin's figures.

The arrows are unabated, and in the sound of swishing, they are shot into the red glow one by one, but they are like mud cows entering the sea, and there is no sound at all.

This change was even more strange, the officer of the Black Water Army who had previously ordered the arrow to be released didn't know what to do for a while, waved his hand, and taught the soldiers who were gathered in a circle to take a few steps back, tie their spears to Hongxia, and stand up to block the regimental sign and wait to see what happened.

After a while, the red glow faded, and everyone saw that the red glow turned out to be a red gold sevenfold lotus flower from the hand of the person who shot it later: something no more than a foot long, it was a jewel, and I don't know how many gems and fire diamonds were used on it, and it was made lifelike, swaying gently in the wind, like a real flower.

The previous arrows had fallen to the ground, forming a large circle seven or eight paces away from the two of them, and when I looked closely, I saw that each arrow had been twisted from the arrow, and I don't know how it came about.

The officer was stunned for a moment, but he was used to being brave, and he was even more confident that he had many people and had other capital, and shouted: "What a demon, I don't believe you really have a lot of ability!" The voice was like thunder: "Shoot the gun!" The soldiers in the front row of the soldiers immediately stood up, picked up their spears on the ground, let out a roar, and threw them at both of them!

Although this time it is much worse than the rain of arrows, but these spears are especially higher than one person, the handle is thick, the blade is shining with cold light, dozens of guns are thrown together, the end is so majestic, so angry, the officer holds his breath and presses the knife, as long as the two of them are flawed, they will order their subordinates to attack and kill.

But seeing that the person holding the lotus flower just smiled and said, "The pearl of rice grains also shines?" "Raise the lotus flower in the air, and immediately see many large and small circles appear in the air, unbiased, and the flying spears in the sky are on one by one, it is strange to say, these circles are obviously at least the size of the bowl, but the spear is thrown into it, it is like being heavily bound, and the speed is suddenly reduced, and the stronger ones can only rush to the end of the foot, and stop in the air.

The man smiled, waved the lotus flower, and said, "Disease! Seeing that the many circles shook at the same time, they hurriedly retracted inward, and only heard a few clicks, and the spears were all cut off and fell to the ground, and those circles were closed to the extreme, and they all turned into a little golden light, and floated a few in the air, and then attached themselves back to the golden lotus.

Yun Chongbo's mouth opened wide and said, "This, what is this?" ”

Xiao Wenshuang said: "This is the Seven Treasure Golden Lotus, also known as the Dragon Stake, which was originally used to capture a strong enemy, but now it has been studied to make such a change, and it is the first time I have seen it." ”

He muttered again: "Holding the Seven Treasure Golden Lotus in his hand, of course it is Brother Gou Chen Dao who cultivates the power of Western Xuanjin, it is rumored that he and Taiyin are both seventh-level intermediate mana, but when I see them today, both of them seem to be stronger than the legend, it seems that they have been cultivating wilderness in the south over the years, and although it is hard, the gain is not small." ”

Suddenly, the color of the ground changed, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, it's a plan!" ”

On the dock, the officer's face changed several times, and he finally made up his mind and shouted: "Sons, make a special move!" Saying that, more than a dozen wooden barrels have been pushed out, all of them are half a person high, and they smell fishy, which is very angry, and although the soldiers who push the barrels do not dare to slack off, they are all disgusted, and pin their heads to the side.

Taiyin's face sank, and he shouted angrily: "What a brave dog thief! "It seems that he has been moved by true anger.

The officer was already shouting, "Bloodletting!" The soldiers agreed, and at the same time drew their knives to cut the head of the barrel, and threw it hard at Taiyin Gou Chen, and the liquid in the barrel splashed out, black and foul smell, and some crimson color, it seemed to be the blood of beasts.

I only heard the officer laugh and said: "A hundred black dogs, the blood released by a hundred white sheep, plus the things of the girls, I don't believe that you can't abolish this demon!" ”

Taiyin Gou Chen and the two shouted in unison: "Presumptuous! "Saying that the magic weapon was waved, I saw the sword light shining, the golden light flying, and it was guarded in the air like a soup pool falling from the sky, and where did the dirty blood splash in? was pushed back by the backlash, and instead splashed the black water soldiers who were about to move around them, and they were all busy shouting and throwing off their clothes.

In the chaos, Taiyin sneered: "Ignorant rats, the Taoist masters are cultivating the Taiping Dafa, not those three-legged cats' evil sects!" ”

… At this time, it was also the time when Xiao Wenshuang sighed the words "Zhongji" in the distance.

The long arrow flew through the air, and then there was the sound of a bowstring!

The arrow came faster than the sound!

Blood splatters, people howl, with surprise, horror and anger!

"Who is it?!"

There were two people who were surprised, and the two of them had been nailed together, and the long arrow that flew from at least 200 steps away actually grasped the angle that could not be described in words how to grasp it, and with only one arrow, it shot through the right hands of Taiyin and Gou Chen, nailing the two of them together!

Blood was splashed, the severely painful hand couldn't exert force, and Wu Hook Sword and Qibao Golden Lotus were already flying in the air!

"Hmmm... Come back! ”

Angry and angry, the two of them used their left hands to cast spells at the same time, to summon the flying foot-high treasure back into their hands, and with the two of them cultivating and casting their respective magic weapons for nearly ten years, this was only a matter of a moment.

The arrow, but it didn't even work for a moment!

The scream sounded again, and just like Fang Cai, when the sound could be heard, the long arrow arrived, impartially stabbed at the lotus stamen of the Seven Treasure Golden Lotus, and slammed into the Wu Hook Sword, flying to the side.

"Wow!" With a bang, it was the commanding officer who suddenly showed a far superior figure, swept up, and easily flipped over the half bucket of residual blood that he was copying, and splashed it on the two magic weapons, and suddenly heard a hissing sound, and the green smoke rose chaotically, as if it was splashed on some burning red iron!

At the same time as that splash, Taiyin Gou Chen screamed in unison, and his expression suddenly stopped!

The officer sneered and said, "If you lose the magic weapon, I'm afraid you two won't have the prestige, right?" He waved his hand and shouted, "Live your mouth!" The soldiers who only listened suddenly agreed, and rushed up, immediately drowning the two into the crowd!

Yun Chongbo's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Smell the frost, it's not good, aren't we..."

According to him, it was naturally Xiao Wenshuang, her face was very ugly, and the right hand that held Yun Chongbo's shoulder was still trembling slightly, but the words she said were categorical and unshaken.

"No, we can't go out, Childe..."

"Smell the frost..."

Yun Chongbo, who was puzzled, wanted to ask, but found that he couldn't even speak, Xiao Wenshuang's right hand, while restricting his movements, had also suppressed his voice.

(Why...) ）

Knowing that Xiao Wenshuang has always been loyal to Taiping Dao, and he didn't think that she would be a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, Yun Chongbo still wanted to try to communicate with her with his eyes, but suddenly his shoulder shook and he calmed down.

He understood.

Many times, understanding does not bring happiness, but he has understood.

In an instant, he seemed to enter Xiao Wenshuang's closed heart, as if he was looking at those things that Xiao Wenshuang silently hid in his heart.

It's not that she doesn't want to save the two fellow disciples, nor is she afraid of the archers who are hiding two hundred steps away, Xiao Wenshuang at this moment is completely confident and determined to face any strong enemy who has not broken through the eighth level, but she has no confidence in others.

When, lurking in the distance, an archer who could shoot through the palms of two masters at a distance of 200 paces, Xiao Wenshuang did not have any confidence to protect Yun Chongbo, so she could only endure it.

The patience to grit your teeth and let the blood flow silently in your heart...

(I'm really useless...) ）

Lowering his head in a dejected manner, Yun Chongbo suddenly felt a frustration that he had never felt before.

(At the end of the day, I'm still a piece of waste, a piece of waste that doesn't come in handy...) ）

However, at the same time, he also had a faint anger, echoing in his heart.

(Why do you always lie in wait in your heart and refuse to say these things?) Even if you complain to your face that I'm a useless person, it's better than being stuffy by yourself like this, don't I even have the qualifications to be looked down upon by you in person? ）

(What kind of immortal am I, what kind of hope of the Taiping Dao...) ）

It is unknown whether Xiao Wenshuang was aware of the cry in Yun Chongbo's heart, at least, on the surface, she was so engrossed in the battle on the dock that she had no time to pay attention to Yun Chongbo's mood fluctuations.

As the battle gradually ended, Xiao Wenshuang's face gradually turned indifferent, and gradually became expressionless, when the battle finally ended, when she was cut like a blood gourd, and she didn't know whether it was dead or alive, Taiyin Gou Chen and the two were tied up as five horses and hoofed and stuffed into two sacks, she slowly stood up from the chair and shook her head slightly.

"Let's go, Childe."

"This place, it's impossible to go south..."

After a slight pause, Yun Chongbo had already understood what Xiao Wenshuang meant: such a painstaking ambush is of course not just to deal with the two of them, it is better to pay the price of dozens of lives than to stay alive, naturally there are other plans, and no matter what the plot is, today's events must always be kept secret.

The prosperous land of the Central Plains is another matter, and in this border of suffering with one hand covering the sky, there is only one waterway to go south, what will the Wanyan family do... There's no need to think about it anymore.

About an hour later, when the crying by the port sounded staggered, and when the fireworks of the burning ship were in the sky, Yun Chongbo and his party had quietly packed up their bags and left Wuqi Town from the mountain road they had entered the town the day before. Hua Shengrong naturally wouldn't let the two run away like this, but the woman "Xiaoyin" also followed the three of them.

At first, when the two of them went back to tell them about the port, Hua Shengrong shouted and shouted that he didn't need to mention it, Xiaoyin was disappointed when he heard that the two of them couldn't go south, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of regret, but he didn't say a word on his lips, but said softly: "The slave family is blessed in the end, it's not so easy to return to their hometown." It's two in a row. Yun Chongbo was a little embarrassed to say it, but Xiao Wenshuang didn't face her, only "hummed", wiped by her side, and went to pack her luggage.

On the way out of town, Xiao Wenshuang always didn't say a word, her face was like frost, and even Yun Chongbo couldn't find anything to say to her, but she always wanted to exchange the two burdens in her hand with the heaviest burden on Xiao Wenshuang's shoulders, Xiao Wenshuang only refused him, Yun Chongbo had no choice but to let her, but saw that Xiaoyin was still a little overwhelmed when she mentioned the smallest burden, and she couldn't bear it, so she took it with one hand.

Hua Shengrong pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to speak.

Until the four of them walked far away from Wu Qi, climbed a high ground, and stopped to rest, Xiao Wenshuang took off the burden on his shoulders, turned around, and looked at Wu Qi silently.

She stood on the cliff, with her back to the three of them, no one paid attention, Xiao Wenshuang's skills were weak, and she suddenly forced the tears to dry, Fang took a few deep breaths, and after calming her mind, she clenched her fists with both hands, held it high above the top, and shook it deeply towards Wu Qi!

Since the battle of the Taiping Ancient Cave on the barren mountain that day, this is the second time that Xiao Wenshuang has silently ignored the sacrifices of others and has not taken any action, for her, this is an unbearable humiliation, and when in addition to this, there is also a big accident in the plan of nine out of ten, and it will take at least a few months to delay before she can go south, Xiao Wenshuang, who has always been as clear as ice, she gradually can't control herself.

At that moment, facing the fierce wind swirling up from the canyon below the mountain, Xiao Wenshuang suddenly made a decision, a decision that would make her pay countless costs in the future, and even made her taste what it meant to "regret".

(Don't have a third time, never again...) I have to make myself stronger! In the direction that the real person pointed out, I should be able to... If... If the dead are not able to awaken, let me take on the task of protecting the Taipingdao! ）

At that time, Xiao Wenshuang didn't know that she was behind him, silently watching her, and Yun Chongbo's heart was full of self-blame and pain.

(No, it's all my uselessness, so I would let you be like this, smell the frost...) I, I'm just a burden for you, a burden you can't let go, it's too heavy, I, I'm a waste... ）

Holding the small bag that Xiaoyin put in his hand with gratitude, and then looking at the two largest packages that Xiao Wenshuang resolutely refused to give him, Yun Chongbo suddenly remembered his experience in the Changbai Snow Valley: that time, although thrilling and inexplicable, he had never had the pride and even self-esteem that he had never had, and at that time, he was the "most useful" one among several people, and he had completed the "most important" work, and he had also turned the enemy's "strongest" person as a result.

However, none of those things are aimed at Xiao Wenshuang.

(Really, think about it, if Hou Wenshuang was there at that time, he would definitely not let me do those dangerous things, and he would definitely protect me very well, but... ）

Hating, Yun Chongbo suddenly felt the humiliation he had never experienced in his life, and at that moment, he made a decision violently, a decision that he didn't know what it meant until many years later, when he looked back.

(I'm an immortal!) I... I must have a way to get stronger, I must be able to, I must be stronger, I can't be a burden to smell frost like this anymore, I... I want to protect her, I have to be stronger than her! ）

On the fourth day of February in the eleventh year of Emperor Shaojing, Xiao Wenshuang swore to heaven outside Wuqi Town, Jinzhou, determined to make himself a strong man no less than Zhang Nanjin to protect Taiping Dao, and determined never to escape in front of the enemy.

At that time, the two were nineteen and twenty years old respectively, although they were smart and strong, but the two people who had just stood on the side of the "weak crown" did not really understand what the "adult world" was, and it was precisely because of this that their oath was sincere from the heart, and in the days that followed, they had more than once contradicted their oath, and gritted their teeth and paid various costs to practice their oath.

Until...
