Chapter Twenty-Four: The Old Man Meets
The elders of the eight divisions of Luofu set out from their respective fiefdoms one after another, and many of them were still beating drums in their hearts, not knowing whether it was evil or evil. Since the Dongshan fire, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the Xuanwolf Army to escort it, and the Vientiane tribes closer to Dragon City entered Dragon City first.
The already congested Changlefang West Street, the caravan of Xixueyuan and the Vientiane convoy entering the city were all blocked under the Yong'an Gate. Yun Ruowu frowned, looked at the convoy in front of him, with an excited expression, he finally found it, he rushed forward quickly, jumping between the two caravan guards and under the carriage.
Gong Ming originally planned to block him at the end of the street with the guards, but he never thought that Yun Ruowu had no other skills, and his escape skills turned out to be first-class. When the guards of the caravan saw a group of people surrounding them, they thought they were going to rob, so they immediately pulled out the big knife at their waists and looked at the guards of Shangguan Mansion vigilantly.
"Get out of the way!" The guards behind Gong Ming hurriedly shouted, and everyone watched Yun Ruowu disappear into the merchant convoy, helpless.
Yun Ruowu took advantage of the clash between the caravan guards and the pursuers, and searched under the carriage one by one, and the hot sweat on his forehead soaked all over his robe. "Brother Xiaowu, why are you back again?" A sturdy man of about fifty years old, with short lean hair, asked with a smile showing his big white teeth.
Yun Ruowu's eyes lit up when he saw the sturdy man, and he rushed forward quickly, shouting excitedly, "Brother Wang, do you remember which carriage I was in?" ”
The "Brother Wang" in Yun Ruowu's mouth was Wang Guiping, the guard of the caravan, who sat cross-legged on the carriage, looked at Yun Ruowu with a smile on his face, and moved his right index finger to signal him to come over. "I thought you had forgotten everyone, and you disappeared as soon as you entered Dragon City."
It was Wang Guiping who rescued Yun Ruowu who had fainted from hunger on the side of the road, and persuaded the commander of the guards to take him to Dragon City with him.
"Brother Wang, why are you here?" Yun Ruowu quickly ran to the carriage, put his arms on the armrests of the carriage, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and looked up at the sturdy man in the carriage.
Although Gong Ming is the commander of the Southern Courtyard of Shangguan Mansion, this caravan is the exclusive convoy of the Ouyang family after all, no matter how bold he is, he does not dare to rush in, he glanced at the guards behind him out of the corner of his eye, and motioned for him to continue to negotiate with the two guards in front of him, while he took the rest of the guards to approach Yun Ruowu from the crowd.
"Khan, it's a long story, I originally planned to find my senior brother and think about it in the long run. But he..."Yun Ruowu sighed, shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, can Brother Wang know the carriage I sat in?" ”
"Okay, since you don't say it, Brother Wang won't force it, are you looking for this thing?" Wang Guiping took out a coarse cloth wrapped in something from under his buttocks and put it next to his leg.
Yun Ruowu stepped forward with his right hand and touched it gently, and the long sword suddenly trembled, startling Wang Guiping with a nervous face, moving his body back, and said in surprise, "It seems that this thing should be yours, and I plan that if you don't come back, I will take it back to my hometown in Xixue City." ”
After the caravan arrived at Changle Fang, Wang Guiping was ordered to take a few guards to carefully inspect the convoy, and he accidentally found that there was a cold sword under the carriage where Yun Ruowu had stayed, which was not like other guards. He originally wanted to hand it over to the head of the guard, but he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, after all, when he found Yun Ruowu, he was desperately holding this sword in his arms.
Yun Ruowu looked at the familiar rags on the carriage, which were torn from the robes of his own sect, and in order not to be discovered, he wrapped some ordinary rags around the rags of the robe wrapped in Baiyun Sword.
"Thank you... Thank you, Brother Wang. The crystal tears in Yun Ruowu's eyes wet the corners of his eyes, his right hand tightly grasped the rag wrapped in the Baiyun Sword, and he made a big salute to Wang Gui on the carriage with both hands in fists.
Wang Guiping jumped out of the carriage, looked at Yun Ruowu, whose expression suddenly changed, and said in a rough voice, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" It's okay... It's okay, Brother Wang just kept it for you for a while, didn't you find it? ”
"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Yun Ruowu bowed down again, he knew very well in his heart how important this Baiyun Sword was to him, the people of the entire sect had died tragically, even Senior Brother Shenghao, who cared for him... He stared at the rag in his hand with blurred eyes and nodded in a choked voice.
"Xiao Wu, what are you going to do next?" Wang Guiping looked at Yun Ruowu's sad appearance, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "If you don't go to the north with Brother Wang to relax, maybe you will forget those sad things in the past." ”
Yun Ruowu shook his head, although he didn't know what to do next, but he must not be able to save his brother Wang, he inserted the Baiyun Sword in his hand into his waist, and saluted Wang Gui again, "Thank you Brother Wang, I have other plans." ”
"Okay, Brother Wang won't force you to stay." Wang Guiping took a bag of broken silver from his waist, handed some dry food from the carriage to Yun Ruowu, and instructed, "You can keep this little thing for yourself." ”
"Brother Wang!" Yun Ruowu looked at the silver money bag and a bag of dry food on the rough palm, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and choked up, "Brother Wang, I must..."
Before he finished speaking, in the crowd behind him, Gong Ming rushed over, pulled Yun Ruowu out of the range of the caravan guard, and showed his waist card of Shangguan Mansion, and snorted coldly, "Below is Gong Ming, the commander of the Southern Courtyard of Shangguan Mansion, and this person is the key criminal arrested by our Shangguan Mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, coupled with the waist card in their hands, the guards of the caravan were stunned, although they had a few encounters with Yun Ruowu, even Wang Guiping did not dare to act rashly. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that it is never worth offending the Shangguan family for the sake of a young man who does not know the details.
Wang Guiping was about to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by the two guards beside him, "Old Wang, you can't go over, those guards behind him are not eating dry food, and it is undoubtedly a stone to hit a stone with an egg to fight with the Shangguan Mansion here." ”
"Even if it's someone from the Shangguan family, you can't arrest someone for no reason!" The guards grabbed Wang Guiping, but he still yelled at Gong Ming, raising his voice high.
Although the Shangguan family is the head of the four great families, the Ouyang family cannot show weakness, not to mention that the person was arrested in the Ouyang family's caravan. Wang Guiping shouted so loudly, in fact, it was shouted to the people in the car in front of the convoy.
Gong Ming saw that the person had been caught, so he waved his hand to signal the guards lurking in the crowd to gather, and the pedestrians behind him were frightened by a group of guards rushing over and hurriedly retreated to both sides. The four guards kept Yun Ruowu under firm control, and everyone was about to return the same way, when Gong Ming coldly glared at Wang Guiping in the caravan and the guards beside him, with a hint of sneer in his eyes.
"Commander Gong wait a moment," Gong Ming was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a young man's voice shout. A young man of about twenty years old, with a handsome face and a calm expression, half a head taller than ordinary people, not at all like a pampered person, he walked slowly from the front of the convoy, and the guards on the side bowed their heads respectfully.
