Chapter Twenty-Nine: Worshipping the Lord in Taolin Village 1

"Is General An's time wrong, it's been three days, why haven't the masters even seen a single figure?" In the evening, a young man muttered to himself.

It was dark, and there was light snow in the air.

"Yes! According to common sense, no matter how slow the journey is from Hokyo, it should be there. Another, older, fatter young man whispered.

"Hugh is impatient! It's freezing weather, and walking on the road will naturally be much slower. How? Are you all helpless? The servant's eyes widened, and he scolded the two of them.

The manta soil and the eagle were a little reluctant, and they chirped and muttered a few words, and were reprimanded by the fierce servant for a while, and then fell silent.

The fierce servant and Tong Tian are not only Halberd'an's friends, close to his body and mind, but also his confidant in swordsmanship. In the Great War, they were born and died together with Ji An, supporting each other, and they were an indestructible force. The two servants Tong Tian were both in their twenties, born with quick wit, broad shoulders and round waists, and in their early years, they were fortunate to know each other with the halberd in the palace of the king, and later became a good friend. Although Halberd An is older, it does not affect their friendship.

The three of them love swordsmanship, and their comprehension of swordsmanship is very comparable.

Five years ago, the king gave them three swords.

Generally, bronze swords are only forty or fifty centimeters long, flattened, and not particularly sharp, but these three swords, the length and fineness of the workmanship are incomparable to ordinary swords.

The sword was dark green, the sword body was slender and extremely thin, and it was extremely sharp, and at that time, people called this sword the Black Shadow Sword. Named because of the color and texture of this sword, but also because of the superb swordsmanship of Halberd An, this sword is full of phantoms, just like a dragon going to sea, the name of the sword is far and wide, and it is named after the four seas. The sword of the fierce servant is called the Shadow Sword, and the blade is eighty or ninety centimeters long, thick, heavy, and extremely sharp. The fierce servant is agile and skillful, and the sword travels with the body when the sword is danced, hence the name of the shadow sword. Tong Tian's sword is a twin sword, the sword is set in the sword, the mother sword is 100 centimeters long, sharp and hollow, there is a thin willow leaf inside, the gray and white sword of the ruler length, the two swords are one, Tong Tian can make a sword with one hand, and can make the sword with both hands at the same time, when the sword is one for two, the opponent is caught off guard, and it is easy to defeat under the sword.

Because of the purity of swordsmanship, young and studious, in the palace of the king of Xu, Halberd An is the prince's martial artist, and the self-created plum blossom five phoenix swordsmanship was personally awarded to Wu Genglu's father. The prince is smart and studious, and he understands it at one point, because he learns swords, and he is called a master and apprentice with Halberd, and he is really a close friend.

In the battle of Muyi, Ji An, the fierce servant, and Tong Tian broke out of the encirclement and escaped with more than a dozen brothers of life and death. Unwilling to be captured by King Wu of Zhou, Wuzi took a dozen people and fled all the way to Yinshan in Tianju Palace to join Qi Xiang.

After hiding for a year, on the winter solstice, King Wu of Zhou issued an edict to the world, amnesty in prison, the fugitive halberd security finally waited for the day of amnesty in the world, the murderous servant, Tong Tian brought more than ten people with his entourage, waited in Taolin Village, waiting for the arrival of the master, and conspired together.

Taolin Village is located in Jia, which is the only place for Wu Genglu's father to return to Yin. The terrain here is open, less than 300 miles away from the Yin capital Chaoge, and the forest is dense, the mountain is steep, there is no village in front, there is no store in the back, there is a natural barrier to cover. Living on the top of Taolin Village, pedestrians on the road can see clearly. The two fierce servants and Tong Tian, with dry food and more than ten people, walked here and lay in ambush behind the big stone on the top of the mountain.

Although the snow on the mountain is more than two feet thick, there is a boulder resting here in Taolin Village, and there is a natural cave under the boulder. The murderous servant Tong Tian and his party just happened to be hiding and waiting here. It is difficult for the people below the mountain and on the mountain to find that there are ambushes here, and the murderous servants are in the cave, and they can clearly see the passers-by under the mountain from a high position.

"The brothers were probably hungry, so they took out some wheat cakes to eat, but when it got dark, they became more and more difficult to see, and they needed to pay more attention. Zhou people are afraid of eyeliner, and they have to beware, if they are exposed, it will be a big deal. Tong Tian spoke in a deep voice.

The fierce servant and Tong Tian, although they are about the same age, and their swordsmanship and martial arts are among the best, but Tong Tian's temperament is much softer. In the early years, Ji An took the two of them on the expedition, which was the most reassuring. These two people, one is ruthless and fast, the other is soft and modest, the two are one yin and one yang, one is rigid and one is soft, and the soldiers in the army are the most convinced. At this time, Tong Tian saw the fierce servant scolding, so he came out of the round field, let everyone eat something, replenish their strength, the night is dark and the wind is high, and they must also guard against it, worrying that Jiang Ziya's eyeliner will find out.

A dozen or so people, including the murderous servant, Tong Tian, Manta Tu, and Yingzi, ate some dry wheat cakes with cold water. At this time, it was already dark, although there was moonlight reflecting the snow, and there was some light, but after all, it was dark, and everyone hid in the corners under the boulders, back to back to keep warm.

For several days, everyone waited sleeplessly, already tired, and after a while, some people tilted their heads and fell asleep.

"Isn't General An really miscalculating the time?" The servant stood on the edge of the boulder, looking at the dark mountains in the night, and whispered to himself.

"Probably not. Xu is the road is slippery and difficult to walk, and the prince and his party are delayed, and it is not known. Tong Tian replied. At some point, he also stood on the edge of the boulder, thinking about it in the cold wind.

"It doesn't matter, the brothers are sleepy, you also go to rest, I will guard." The murderous servant said to Tong Tian.

"Let's rest for a while, it's dark, and if the prince is in a hurry, he will have to stay until tomorrow, and he will never arrive here at this time. It's windy and cold here, and it's warmer in the corner of the boulder, so let's take a nap for a while before we take care of it. Tong Tian said while analyzing.

The murderous servant looked at the dark night, and felt that Tong Tian's words made sense, so he went with him to the corner of the boulder, wrapped his cotton robe tightly, closed his eyes, and rested.

Wu Genglu's father led the crowd out of the city from Haojing, and after passing through Kubei Village, he did not take the official road. He was more familiar with this belt, and they avoided the interception and obstruction of the mountains, and took the trail exclusively, as long as they could pass through the carriage, and took a shortcut from the side road, which was much faster than taking the official road. In some places, the carriage could not pass, so it was carried by everyone, which also saved time than detouring the official road. After walking for three days, this evening has reached the territory of Yindu.

"Prince, there is Taolin Village in front, it is a dangerous place, if you go, there may be no place for everyone to rest." Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Qi reported to Wu Genglu's father.

"Huh? I've arrived in my Chaoge territory, and I'm finally back safely. Big brother, we can go home in half a day at most. Wu Geng Yu Yin listened to the Qi report, and knew that it was very close to Chaoge, and said to Wu Genglu's father excitedly.

"Yes! It's back. The brothers were not in a hurry, there was a forest in front of us, we went in to rest for a while, ate dry food, rested for a few hours, and rushed back to Chaoge. Wu Genglu's father was also very happy and ordered.

Wu Genglu's father was in front, leading everyone into a tall forest, because the forest is deep and dense, and evergreen all year round, the snowflakes falling from the sky are blocked by dense branches and leaves, the ground is dry, and there are a few big stones under the tree, which can be used for people to sit and rest.

Wu Geng Yu Yin held a small torch in his hand, and everyone rushed in, led the horse into the woods, sat or lay down, ate dry food and drank water.

A little later, someone started snoring.

Wu Genglu's father saw that everyone was indeed sleepy, so he also went to the carriage and lay down with his clothes. Looking at this gorgeous carriage, Wu Genglu's father's heart ached like a pinprick. Along the way, he wanted to throw down these two finely made, high-spec, ornately decorated carriages, but he didn't. He knew very well that there was only one consequence of doing so, that his royal brother and sister would suffer a lot in the palace of the Zhou king, and that his long-term patience and painstaking planning of the resumption of business would be in vain after being exposed. Therefore, he did not do this, he endured the pain of the cone, and asked everyone to do their best to carry and push, and escorted the two carriages, winding down the path, to here.
