23. The Bureau of Liuhe (A)
After turning a few streets, Ah Bai has been following behind Li Wolf blankly, and Harrier grabbed a group of horses, ran in front of him proudly, and turned back from time to time to urge Li Wolf, but Li Wolf turned his head and ignored it. The harrier was suffocated a few times, his face was flushed with anger, and he whipped the sergeant next to the wolf on the head, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly under his feet, he urged the horse to go first. Li Wolf had no choice but to comfort the sergeant who was beaten for no reason. The sergeant seemed to be on guard, and did not dare to look at him in the slightest. Li Wolf seemed to be accustomed to this, and when he saw the harrier walking away, he stopped and stood upright. At this time, they were already standing outside the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial City, and Li Wolf stood under the huge city gate, looked at the city and sighed, and suddenly said behind him: "Boy, you have already woken up, why don't you leave?" ”
Ah Bai's voice came coldly from behind: "Why do you want to go?" ”
When Li Wolf heard this, a wry smile seemed to appear on his face: "What a smart boy! If you're brave enough, you might as well keep following. ”
Behind his back, Ah Bai didn't speak, but he was murderous. Li Wolf felt Ah Bai's momentum, smiled, and then stopped making a sound, and walked towards the Shenwu Gate. Ah Bai lowered his head and walked in with him silently. He secretly silently guarded the embankment, but there was nothing to do all the way, and along the stone steps of the city wall, he climbed the majestic tower of the inner city, but saw that there was a wooden attic above the city tower, he heard the guard mention, this should be the camp of the Nine Gate Governor's Mansion. I saw that the lights on the city tower were bright, the sergeants patrolled back and forth, the defense was very tight, and there were soldiers on the arrow tower at the head of the city holding single-hole binoculars and watching.
Li Wolf greeted casually along the way, seemed to be very relaxed, and was not worried about Ah Bai's movements, turned a few corners, and led Ah Bai into a side hall. I saw that there were already several delicate snacks in the side hall, although the furnishings were all in the extensive style of the army, but they were already quite respected. Li Wolf was not polite to Ah Bai, sat on the couch obliquely, reached out and grabbed the snack on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing this, Ah Bai didn't say much, after tossing for a long time, he was also hungry, so he also grabbed a snack and ate it by himself. He knew that he should calm down at this time and wait for the other party's reaction, even if he was in a hurry, it would be useless. He paid careful attention all the way, only to feel that if the other party wanted to be unfavorable to Gou Xiong and the others, he could do it when he was in the school field, and Li Wolf knew that he was already sober, but he still brought him here, which was incomprehensible, but it was certain that the other party had no bad intentions, so he let go of his heart, and the other party gave him what to eat, and he did not refuse a little.
After Li Wolf had eaten his fill, he pulled over a chair and leaned on his back, closed his eyes and fell asleep with the little alcohol he had just drunk. Seeing him close his eyes, Ah Bai was relieved a little, and then he looked into the room, and then he found that there was a portrait hanging behind the table in the side hall, which was a middle-aged man in black. As I expected, this person in front of me should have a clue about his master! After having this idea, he saw that the man in the painting was becoming more and more like his master, and he couldn't help but step forward to identify it carefully, but he felt that there seemed to be a kind of magic in the painting that made people fascinated.
At this time, I suddenly heard Li Wolf, who was lying beside him, closed his eyes and said faintly: "Boy, the master can also hypnotize you with paintings, give the master a good night's sleep!" As soon as the word "bar" came out, it was like turning off the valve of consciousness, and Ah Bai only felt that his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.
I only heard a "snap" snap of his fingers, and Ah Bai's consciousness returned again, but he saw that he was standing in a large courtyard, at this time the sky was bright, it seemed that it was morning, he silently breathed, felt that there was nothing unusual in his body, and his whole body was full of energy, as if he had slept well. He secretly checked the operation of the blood veins around him, and according to the connection between the blood flow and the time of day, he silently noticed that this time should be around the hour of the hour.
After he noticed that he was not unusual, he turned his eyes to look at the courtyard, and saw that this seemed to be a martial arts field, and there were several weapon racks around him, and the blades on the shelves were very fine, much better than the old blades in the school field. This martial arts arena is not closed, the south side of the field is a rockery pond, behind the rockery is a hexagonal pavilion, in the courtyard sits a middle-aged man who looks like an ordinary farmer and a middle-aged scribe dressed in a white fox is playing against the plate, jade chess pieces knock on the stone table crackling. There is a pergola on the side of the rockery, during which the sound of the piano is dingdong, leisurely and slowly, and a song "Clear Spring" is being played, which sounds very comfortable.
The middle-aged man sat on the wooden couch on the side of a white man with withered sideburns, who was looking at the chessboard with his eyebrows tightened, his face was withered, and after frowning his eyebrows, it was like an old tree and withered vines were entangled. Behind the middle-aged scribe, there was only one girl with a horn, who seemed to be quite bored watching chess, and was forced to stay in the pavilion, looking bored.
Ah Bai retracted his gaze, but saw that on the side of the rockery, on the martial arts arena, Li Wolf was sitting on a bench obliquely, he put one leg on the bench, and his mouth was wearing the habitual joke on his mouth, looking at himself narrowly, but seeing that his clothes and neck were soaked with sweat, it took a lot of strength to repetition. At this time, Ah Bai Fang realized that the clothes on his body were no longer the clothes he had before he fell into a coma, and when he looked down, he saw that the clothes were made of white silk, although they were samurai clothes, they were breathable and comfortable, and he didn't know who changed them for himself. His heart moved, his wrist flicked, and he found that the beast tooth dagger and the silk rope were still there, so his heart settled down a little.
He slowly closed his eyes at this time, boosting the soul power around his body, he could feel that in this battle, Li Wolf may be the weakest person, and in addition to Li Wolf, there are at least four people here who are not difficult for him to win. These four people are not in the same place, there should be two people behind him, one of them should be the girl Harrier, there is one person to his left, and there is also one person on the tree next to the pavilion. Except for these few people, the rest are some miscellaneous laborers, who breathe heavily, and should not be a problem.
Sensing the people in the pavilion again, the scribe seemed to be weak, but there was a sense of an untouchable abyss in the weakness, and the old man seemed to be old, but he seemed to have both glory and withering, and he was both unfathomable and full of life. And the middle-aged man who looked like a farmer playing against the scribe...... Ah Bai instantly felt a deep fear in his heart, and a sense of hopelessness arose like a rabbit and a mouse meeting a tiger and wolf, only to feel that the man's temperament was as strong as Taiyue and as wide as the reckless plain, making him instantly feel as small and helpless as an ant.
Ah Bai shook his head and got rid of the distracting thoughts, he was in this trapped beast place, his heart was condensed, he didn't want to think about why he was here, he just silently calmed his mind and soul, and did not open his eyes, and stood quietly.
But suddenly the sound of the piano in the courtyard was raised, and it became "Mountains and Flowing Water", and at the same time, there was a clear whistle behind him, and suddenly a sharp gun wind hit the back of his head. Ah Bai didn't open his eyes, turned his head, and then used the beast tooth dagger to protect his wrist, and raised his elbow to block the incoming spear. The man stabbed and missed, the gun shook, and then collapsed towards Ah Bai's arm, Ah Bai's beast tooth dagger blade outward, and the spear that was going to attack was cut off, but unexpectedly, the man grabbed like a spirit snake, and when he was about to hit Ah Bai's arm, he turned around, the gun shook, and the gun hit Ah Bai's chest. Ah Bai felt chest tightness for a while, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and under silent observation, he felt that the man had left strength under the gunman, so he slowly opened his eyes, but saw that the person was a young man dressed as an officer, dressed neatly in black clothes, although his facial features were not prominent, but it gave people a rare feeling of Dunmin. I saw the young man standing with a gun, his body straight, although he had won half a move, he stood with a smile and did not come forward to pursue. At this time, I heard the scribe in the court laugh and said, "Hengjiu, what do you think?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned and said slowly: "You can not be shocked when you are in change, and you can not be arrogant when you win." Both are good. You and Black Hawk are both good at teaching. The voice was dull and plain, but there was an indescribable domineering hidden. He looked at the chess game in front of him and seemed to be engrossed, and no longer looked at the middle of the field.
At this time, Ah Bai pinched his right hand with his left hand and said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, my brother is gone, do you know where they are, can you tell me...... By the way, my master is also gone, I haven't found it for a long time, I miss him very much, ......" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was surprised. Ah Bai's martial arts are extremely high, they are waiting for him today, and they also value him a lot, but unexpectedly, after he returned to his soul, the first thing he said was so frank and straightforward, and he had no master's demeanor, but he was like a child next door who came to ask his uncle next door. But at this time, the old man who was watching the chess also turned his head suddenly, and there was a faint light in his eyes, as if he understood everything. Ah Bai saw this gaze, but he greeted him calmly, his expression was sincere, and his face was still full of sincerity, and the old man immediately closed his gaze and muttered, "Sure enough...... Alas. ”
At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke: "Old Seven, show him." Then a person on the tree in the courtyard answered, but saw that the man coldly pulled out a snow-white feather arrow, and shot it on a curtain next to the martial arts arena, and the curtain shot down in response. But after seeing the curtain, ten people were tied up like zongzi, and were hung in the air by ropes, it was Gou Xiong and Kong Liu, but they saw that they were all gagged and couldn't speak, but they were all happy to see Ah Bai in the field, as if they had met a savior, their faces were swollen red, and their limbs were kicking around, wanting Ah Bai to rescue them. Below where they hung was a deep pit, and in the pit were lined with steel thorns, and if they fell into the pit, they would surely be killed by those steel thorns.
