Volume 1 Iron Blood Shadow Chapter 53 Surprise Encounter

Not far from the foot of the far cliff, a Tianhe guard station at the mouth of the river is brightly lit. The river guard has lowered the barrage.

Two river guards patrolling the estuary, one of whom said: "There is plenty of rain this year, and the water is more than usual. Another said, "Yes." On weekdays, there is no one on this river, let alone why there is such a big water this year! The captain is really, and he still asks us to keep watch all night, so why bother?"

The first person said: "Don't complain. The big shadow Zhongzhou peace talks have been going on for more than half a year, and I'm afraid that our guard will have to withdraw before long. Don't let anything happen before you leave. If something goes wrong, the captain can't be promoted to a hundred generals, and we still have to walk around without eating?!

"What does it have to do with us when he ascends to a hundred generals? We're not a soldier yet? It's convenient for me to go, you can top it for a while!" "Hurry up, Lao Tzu is here alone and panicked!" "Afraid of a fart, still afraid of guarding for so many years?" The soldier scolded and walked away.

The raft flew down, and in a blink of an eye it was already in the middle of the two mountains. Wu Di passed through the mist and had already faintly seen the fire of the estuary guard. Once discovered by the estuary guards, the five people in the water will definitely not be able to escape!

Wu Di was in a hurry, beckoning a few people to pull the raft left and right, but there was a lot of movement? Seeing that there was the waterfall in front of him, the guard post not far from the waterfall was getting closer and closer, and in the darkness Wu Di had already faintly seen the guard standing at the mouth of the river.

Wu Di Zhengxin raised his throat, but he heard Rong Cheng say: "Look ahead!" Five feet in front of the raft, there was a huge raised rock!

The crowd was shocked. Wu Di reacted the fastest, and without thinking about it, he grabbed the rope tied to the front of the raft and slid to the back end of the raft in one step. Rongcheng is on the bank of the Luoshui River all the year round, how can he not know Wu Di's thoughts, and he jumped to the back of the raft and hugged Wu Di's waist with his hands.

The water is getting stronger. At this time, except for Liu Sanzhi, who was lying in the center of the raft, the other four people were already lying or kneeling at the back of the raft. The tip of the raft instantly cocked and rushed straight to the large protruding rock. The raft whizzed into the air.

With a loud bang, the bamboo raft flew over the waterfall, and after gliding in the air, it landed heavily on the main trunk of the Tianhe River, which was not far from the mouth of the river.

The soldier guarding the mouth of the river heard a loud noise and looked towards the heavenly river, only to see bamboo and trees scattered and the water turbulent. This was a common occurrence at the mouth of the river, and the guard muttered a few words, and continued to doze off with his spear in his arms.

Wu Di was poured a few mouthfuls of water, and finally grabbed a big bamboo to stabilize his body. Wu Di looked around and saw Rong Cheng and Mu Qingyu quietly exposing their heads in the water in front of the west, the two of them pushed two big bamboos, and Liu Sanzhi and Qianhui bowed their heads and lay on the bamboos. Wu Di let out a long breath, settled down a little, looked at the guard not far away, and saw the dozing river guard at a glance, and hurriedly swam towards the four of them.

Mu herring and Rongcheng are familiar with water. When he fell into the water, Rong Cheng had already recognized Liu Sanzhi's position and grabbed Liu Sanzhi's back waist leather belt. And Mu Qingyu also dragged Qianhui in time. The huge current pushed everyone into the heavenly river of more than 30 zhang. Qianhui choked on a few mouthfuls of water and passed out, all supported by Mu Qingyu. Although Liu Sanzhi did not faint, the wound on his back oozed blood again.

The five of them were blessed by misfortune! Although Fang Cai flew down the bamboo raft and scattered, he coincidentally flew over the two iron cables at the mouth of the river.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and Rong Cheng and Mu Qingyu simply tied three or four big bamboos together with difficulty with a rope wrapped around their bodies. The three of them pushed Yanagi Sanzhi and Chie to lie down on top of the big bamboo. Wu Di hung on the bamboo, and Rong Cheng and Mu Qingyu pushed the bamboo raft forward.

The heavenly river is vast and boundless. Most of the time, the five could only go downstream. Relying on the current, Rong Cheng and Mu Qingyu took turns pushing the raft forward, slowly heading towards the west bank.

During this period, there were river guards patrolling the river, but fortunately, the river was wide, and the stars and moon were not visible that night, and the five people avoided diving once they saw the lights on the boat, so they were not discovered. In the second half of the night, it rained heavily, and the river guard patrol boat was gone. While everyone feels very lucky, they also feel that it is even more difficult to travel in the wind and rain.

Five hours passed, and after Mu Qingyu and Rongcheng were exhausted and Wu Di barely pushed the raft for more than half an hour, everyone finally saw the dense reeds on the west bank of the Tianhe River. Wu Di let out a long breath: "We have finally crossed the Tianhe! ”

At the beginning of the hour, everyone staggered and cautiously walked through the reeds and landed on the west bank of the Tianhe River. The heavy rain had stopped, and in the soft moonlight the riverbank was westward, and the wheat fields were swaying in the wind in the darkness. Everyone rested for a while, Wu Di and Liu Sanzhi carefully discussed and judged, and finally determined that this place should be in Baihe County of Liang State, more than 200 miles away from Dingjun.

It is probably not possible to walk in the condition of many people, and it will take more than three days to hire a carriage to go forward. But everyone went all the way, and there was nothing left. Except for the important original beads, the black knife and the belt containing Liu's father's ashes that were tightly tied to Liu Sanzhi's body, and the black rope in the thunder cave was at Wu Di's place, the others only had ragged clothes, and even the iron pot carried by Rong Cheng was thrown away.

Wu Di was helpless, so he had to look at Qianhui. Qianhui pondered for a long time, and finally reluctantly untied the jade belt around her waist. Qianhui's jade belt is extraordinary, with seven or eight exquisitely carved jade pieces inlaid on it. Wu Di took off the jade pieces one by one, and returned the strap to Qianhui to tie.

Wu Di said: "I'll go to the neighborhood to steal a few clothes first, and then we'll think of other ways out." Herring, you go with me. "Among the few people, Mu Qingyu still has spare strength.

Half an hour later, Wu Di and Mu Qingyu came back, each carrying a big burden. Wu Di casually returned the five pieces of jade to Qianhui and took out his clothes for everyone to change.

Qianhui said: "Three pieces of jade have been exchanged for these things! really!" Wu Di said in a low voice: "And the ox cart!" "How much is that worth? Chie said. Wu Di said impatiently: "Don't forget that we are stealing, we are stealing! Why don't you give others something in return?!Taifu's words, have you forgotten?" Qianhui muttered and walked away with Mu Qingyu to change clothes.

The sky was about to dawn, everyone changed their clothes and came to the edge of a village under the leadership of Wu Di. In the darkness, an ox cart was tied to a big tree, and Wu Di asked everyone to get into the car. Liu Sanzhi pointed out the way, and Rongcheng, who pretended to be a slave, drove to the official road.

The car was cramped, but after a few days of hard work, the four of them still felt comfortable sitting in the car. Wu Di said through the car curtain: "Xiaocheng, you drive straight south along the trail, and I will change you in half an hour." ”

The sky gradually brightened, Wu Di looked at the clothes that the three of them were wearing that didn't fit well, and couldn't help laughing: "When we get to the town, we will invest in the store first, and then buy some clothes that fit." Qianhui said: "Where did you get the money?" Wu Di smiled: "Your jade piece is so valuable, why do I have to take some money?!"

Liu Sanzhi said suddenly: "I don't know how the sixth and eighth brothers are doing now." Wu Di was full of confidence in Lu Zijing: "Don't worry! They must have returned to Dingjun to wait for us." We just have to be careful and rush back. We have seen a big scene on this trip to Tianyi, haha... ”

Hearing the word Tianyi, Mu Qingyu's eyes couldn't help but dim, thinking of the bones of his deceased parents, he couldn't help but feel sad. Qianhui looked at it from the side, and hurriedly comforted: "Sister Qingyu, this is almost the big shadow." It's our home, and it's your home!By the way, you'll live in my house after you get to the big shadow!. As he spoke, he shook Mu Qingyu's arm.

Mu Qingyu came back from her sadness, saw that there was a trace of warmth in her heart in the eyes of the three of them, and nodded gently.

Seeing that it aroused Mu Qingyu's sorrow, Wu Di didn't dare to mention the past again, and hurriedly said: "Let's hurry up and rest." The remaining days will remain a crisis, and we should not take it lightly. ”

At three o'clock, Wu Di finally drove the slow ox cart to an ordinary town. The official certificate of the five people had long been lost and disappeared, so they did not dare to stay in the official guest house, and searched for a while before finding a cold inn to live in. Wu Di spent a lot of money to let the shopkeeper help buy clothes, carriages and other things, and everyone slept soundly in the inn all morning, and only after eating the long-lost meal at noon did they pack their bags before continuing to march south.

Along the way, in order to avoid the checkpoint check, Wu Dijing picked up some hidden paths to advance. The car was slow, and Wu Di couldn't help but secretly worry, at this speed, when would the five of them return to Xingjun City?

The sun shone obliquely on the earth, and Liu Sanzhi was reciting the Sutra in the car for Mu Qingyu to study. Wu Di took out the black rope and played with it, not knowing what he was thinking. Chie didn't seem to have eaten yet, chewing a piece of jerky without a bite.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the sound became louder and louder. Wu Di was startled, and said in a deep voice: "Sanzhi, knife!" Liu Sanzhi hurriedly handed the black knife into Wu Di's hand with a sheath.

Wu Di stuck the black knife on his waist, lifted the curtain out of the carriage and looked back, only to see a team of more than 20 people galloping from behind the carriage. Rong Cheng had already driven the carriage off the trail and stopped.

The first person to dress as a military general, Wu Di was familiar with the military system of the Liang State and knew that this was a school captain. The lieutenant swept over the ox cart without stopping. Wu Di was surprised to find that the more than 20 horseback officers behind the lieutenant were all dressed as more than two or five hundred generals, with long swords, bows and crossbows, and were fully equipped.

Just as Wu Di was thinking about what must have happened in front of him and considering whether to change the route, a team of more than 20 horsemen came one after another, still dressed as officers.

After passing three teams of people in a row, Wu Di was surprised, and thought deeply: "What kind of formation is this? Why are they all high-level cultivators in the army?" Wu Di didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly said to Rong Cheng: "Let's quickly find a fork in the road, to the east!"

Rong Cheng was in a panic when he heard Wu Di's command and hurriedly drove the car to turn around and head east. Half a quarter later, the ox cart came to a fork, and Rong Cheng was about to go south according to Wu Di's instructions, when suddenly a horse on the east path galloped in, and its momentum was like lightning, and Rong Cheng couldn't see the shadow of the horse man at all.

The road was narrow, the trees were thick on both sides, and the ox-carts had nowhere to dodge, and when they saw that they were about to collide, they immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse passed the carriage gently and galloped away.

Rong Cheng was stunned, Wu Di rushed out of the carriage and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" Rong Cheng hadn't answered, and he was facing more than ten horses. Seeing that the ox cart was blocking the way, the first rider had already drawn the long sword at his waist.

The head horse rushed to the front of the five-man carriage in a flash, and his speed did not decrease at all. Immediately, the person raised his long sword and slashed straight down!"Hug Yuan Realm!" The sharp Yuan Qi rushed towards him, Wu Di couldn't resist it, couldn't dodge it, and stood still to watch the sword light slash straight forward! Rong Cheng didn't react even more.

Seeing that the sword light was as fast as lightning approaching the top of Wu Di's head less than half a foot, suddenly the war horse and horse rider in front of Wu Di were trembling as if they had been fixed, standing still like nails, and the sword qi was floating away as if it had never appeared. The war horse pounced and knelt on the ground, and more than a dozen war horses that came galloping in turn behind him didn't have time to dodge, and actually collided one after another. Immediately, everyone reacted that it was not slow, and they rose to the sky one by one.

The last person in the group was in the air, and when he saw his companion flying up in front of him, he rushed up and fell, exclaiming, "Momentum, momentum!"

A figure flew over the roof of the ox cart, Wu Di and Rong Cheng saw a flower in front of them, and when they opened their eyes, more than ten military cultivators who were in mid-air had already all lay on the ground, and the war horses trembled and did not dare to move. A majestic figure stood in front of the horse, smiling and looking at Wu Di.

Wu Di rubbed his eyes and shouted, "Moving, moving, big brother, it's you? How could it be you?" Wu Di's eyes instantly filled with tears. Qianhui, who had just come out of the curtain, didn't speak, but flew over the cow in front of the car and hung on the body of the great man.

Qianhui grew up with her mother and brother in the Taifu Mansion since she was born, and only moved back to her house after Chio was seventeen years old. Since she was sensible, Qianhui has met the seven sons of Yingwu who often hold and coax her. For Liu Dongzhi, Qianhui is ripe and can't be cooked.

Liu Dongzhi dotingly hugged Qianhui's soft waist, watching the struggle out of the ox cart, Liu Sanzhi's eyes were hazy, and his resolute gaze became softer and softer.

Wu Di and Liu Sanzhi were already so excited that they couldn't speak, and the hardships and grievances, pains and fatigue of the past few days all dissipated at the moment they saw Liu Dongzhi, turning into full excitement and comfort.

Liu Dongzhi didn't speak to Wu Di and Liu Sanzhi, raised his hand to wipe the tears on Qianhui's delicate cheeks, and nodded towards Mu Qingyu and Rongcheng: "Qingyu, Rongcheng?" Mu Qingyu and Rongcheng didn't know what to say, and nodded stunned.

Liu Dongzhi didn't continue to say more, pulled the ox cart and turned around, and said, "Follow my horse and listen to my instructions." We're going to pick you up and we're going home!"

"It's such a coincidence, the sixth brother has also arrived here!" everyone was stunned.

Liu Dongzhi wanted to put Qianhui on the ox cart, but Qianhui hugged Liu Dongzhi's neck and didn't follow. Liu Dongzhi laughed: "Okay! Kiss Xiaohui, today the eldest brother will take you to see and see!" Qianhui buried Qian's charming face on Liu Dongzhi's solid and broad shoulders, and her excited eyes smiled into a crescent moon.
