Chapter 4: Savior? Hope and disappointment

Bai Qing got up from the ground with a dirty face, spit out the mud and sand in his mouth, and was about to scold, but when he saw the horse lying on the ground panting, there was a wet mark in his eyes, Bai Qing turned around, only to find that the road behind him had been sprinkled with a long blood mark along the way.

Looking at the horse's red belly, Bobo's blood kept pouring out of the fist-sized wounds, obviously, after running so far, it had exhausted all its life, just lying here quietly waiting for death to come.

Bai Qing silently closed his mouth, stood up, bowed deeply to the horse that fell to the ground, and then continued to chase forward along the official road without looking back, time is too precious for him, thinking about the uncertain life and death of Master Li, he really can't afford to delay.

Bai Qing was not an athlete in the first place, plus he didn't sleep well all night last night, and now he still has a faint cold, even after coming to this world, his body has become younger and stronger than before, but he didn't feel anything when he just rode a horse, and now after chasing for half an hour, he feels that he can't run anymore, his legs are as heavy as being filled with lead, and his throat is almost like burning, he gritted his teeth and continued to chase, but his pace slowed down significantly.

Senior sister, you must not have anything to do, Bai Qing shouted loudly in his heart, maybe he was too anxious, he didn't think about it at all, even if he caught up, with his powerless body, how could he be the opponent of several murderers with high martial arts, and what could he do to rescue Master Li.

Bai Qing's mind kept flashing with the look of despair on his face, and when he thought of this, he felt that a trace of strength had reappeared in his almost dry body.

We must rescue Senior Sister! Bai Qing secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

In his mind, the face of the dragon dance suddenly appeared inexplicably, and he slammed the spirit, at this time, I'm afraid she is already looking for herself, even if she didn't do it voluntarily, but she took possession of her innocence, and for herself, it was already a monstrous disaster!

Thinking about the terrifying consequences of falling into the hands of the other party, Bai Qing couldn't help but shudder, he quickly shook his head, desperately drove those thoughts out of his mind, and continued to run forward, no matter what, rescuing Master Li now was the most urgent thing, or rather, he didn't dare to think about the consequences of that incident at all.

After Bai Qing ran eight or nine miles at his fastest speed, he really couldn't run, he stumbled under his feet, and fell to the ground with a thud, he desperately gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up, but he was helplessly exhausted to the extreme, and he couldn't squeeze a trace of strength anymore, Bai Qing's face couldn't help flashing a look of despair, he could only lie on the ground and gasp for breath, not caring about the surprised eyes of the pedestrians on the official road, just looking at the fresh chariot mark on the ground, he knew that the distance from the carriage was not far away, However, he really didn't have the strength to get up again.

"Clucking" A rapid sound of horses' hooves gradually came into Bai Qing's ears, Bai Qing raised his head with great effort, and in the distance, a figure riding a horse quickly approached in the direction of Bai Qing.

A thought flashed in Bai Qing's heart, seeing the figure getting closer and closer, he secretly mobilized the last trace of strength that he had finally accumulated in his body, and when the other party was only twenty or thirty meters away from him, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on the horse like a big bird.

The man on the horse obviously did not expect this sudden attack, and when he saw the figure in front of him flash, he clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, and then pulled the reins hard, and the red horse under his crotch made a neighing sound, and his front hooves rose into the air, and he stopped his advancing figure in front of Bai Qing.

Bai Qing saw that he had successfully forced the person to stop, and without thinking about it, he ran towards the figure on the horse, wanting to snatch the horse from the other party, if he got on the horse, he might be able to catch up with the carriage soon, Bai Qing thought so, ignoring the fact that he couldn't ride a horse at all.

It's just that Bai Qing hasn't touched the other party's boots yet, and a whine of air friction pierces the eardrum, and then, a cold chill wakes him up from the madness just now, and a sharp spear is against his throat, as long as he moves slightly, he can pierce his throat in an instant.

"Who are you, why did you attack so-and-so!" A sharp question came from above, Bai Qing raised his head, and what caught his eye was a very delicate face, with white teeth, red lips and handsome eyes, two eyebrows and temples, wearing silver helmet and silver armor, looking heroic, and on the horse under his crotch, there was also an iron-tired strong bow, which seemed to be a military general who entered Beijing.

Bai Qing secretly screamed in his heart, he wanted to grab a horse so easily, who knew that he would not die and actually met a general, and the kind of fierce aura exuded from the other party alone made Bai Qing understand that against himself, people can fight at least ten.

Do you just give up this last glimmer of hope? Bai Qing knew that he didn't have much time to waste, and in a hurry, he suddenly remembered the thing in his arms, and in the other party's guarded eyes, he suddenly took out the piece of paper from his arms and held it high above his head: "I just startled the general's car, it was really a last resort, but it was a matter of human life, so I can only make this decision, and I hope that the general Haihan, and I implore the general to lend me the horse, save my life, he will have a good reward in the future!" ”

"I'm Qingzhou Inspector Hua Rong, tell me what is important for you to take this risky move!" Seeing Bai Qing holding up the piece of paper above his head, it was a hundred silver tickets issued by the National Finance Envoy of Daqi.

One hundred guan in this era, for an ordinary family, is already a lot of income, even if it is Hua Rong, who is the inspector of Qingzhou, it is equivalent to his several months of money, seeing Bai Qing's actions, Hua Rong's face couldn't help but be stern, he vaguely felt that it was definitely not a simple thing to make the other party take out a hundred guan without blinking.

Bai Qing didn't expect that the person in front of him was Hua Rong, who was known as "Little Li Guang", and he was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't care to express his admiration for him, so he hurriedly told Hua Rong that Master Li was taken away.

After listening to Bai Qing's story, Hua Rong, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly became silent, and Bai Qing below looked at him with a look of hope, if Hua Rong helped, at least Bai Qing saw a glimmer of hope for success, so during the time that Hua Rong was silent, Bai Qing felt that every minute and every second had passed so long, as if life was like a year.

"This time I entered Beijing, I have urgent business to go to the Privy Council!" After half a ring, Hua Rong finally spoke slowly, with a look of embarrassment on his handsome face, and then continued: "It's not that a certain family doesn't want to help you, first, the official business is urgent, and secondly, the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin and the little overlord Zhou Tong have also heard of it, the two of them are full of bad deeds in Dongping Mansion, which can be described as a great name, and these two are not ordinary bandits, especially the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin, who is strong in martial arts, I won't tell you, although I am conceited that my martial arts are okay, and I can fight with him, but if I face the two of them, I can't be sure of victory!" This matter is not easy to do! ”

Hua Rong's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Bai Qing's head, he unabashedly showed the disappointment on his face, thinking that when he met Hua Rong, he would have the hope of saving people, but he didn't expect this Hua Rong to hesitate, making him fall from heaven to hell in an instant.

Let's go, the other party and himself are just meeting in Pingshui, not to mention that he is just a small guy in the green (fog) building, where is there any capital to let the other party help him, it seems that he can only rely on himself, Bai Qing gritted his teeth and rattled, so that Hua Rong on the horse saw it, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

"General, it's only a few miles to the Privy Council, and now people's lives are at stake, if the general really can't make a move, I beg the general to sell your horse to the villain, so that I can catch up with the thief quickly, save my sister out, and won't delay your time too much, general!"

"The other party is a bully who kills people without blinking, aren't you afraid!" Hua Rong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what Bai Qing said, in his opinion, Bai Qing's thin appearance without any martial arts was to go to ten, and he believed that Bai Qing himself knew this matter very well.

"Afraid! How can you not be afraid? And I'm scared to death! Bai Qing looked directly at Hua Rong and said loudly, "But I'm afraid what can be done, Senior Sister not only has the grace to save my life, but also helps me very much on weekdays, the so-called grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, now it's her turn to be in trouble, although I am just a small guy in the green (fog) building, but I also think that I am a dignified man, I should be righteous Bo Yuntian, if I can't go to save her, how can I feel at ease, as long as I can protect her well, even if I give up this cheap life, why not!" ”

Hua Rong looked at Bai Qing who was a little excited, he didn't know what he was thinking, but his face obviously showed a trace of tangled look, but soon, as if he had made some decision, he didn't look at Bai Qing, but shouted "drive", and at the same time kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the whole person suddenly galloped towards the direction of Bianliang City, and the horse's hooves raised the dust, and the speed was even three points faster than just now.

Looking at Hua Rong who was speeding away, Bai Qing's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and finally he couldn't convince him, now he can really only rely on himself, relying on others is an unreliable thing in itself, but you are not willing to help, just refuse directly, why delay my precious time, Bai Qing suddenly rose a trace of hatred for Hua Rong in his heart, he looked at the wide official road that stretched into the distance, stomped his feet vigorously, and quickly rushed over in the direction where the carriage left.

Bai Qing, now I can only rely on you alone!

Senior sister, wait for me, even if it is only me, even if it is climbing, I will climb to your side and protect you!
