Forty-four, attacked in the rain
Pingyongguan Road is the main road between Yongqiu City and Pingyang City. The total distance is more than 1,000 miles, and there are large post stations in the middle, and there are inns and wine shops not far away, and there is an endless stream of merchants and passenger trucks on the road. Because of this, every year the two cities jointly fund the maintenance of this official road.
At this time, in a tea shed on the side of the official road, a gray-faced man was sitting in the corner slowly drinking herbal tea. This middle-aged man has been sitting here for three hours, and he has been in the same posture since dawn in the morning.
The old man who sold tea had been staring at this big man for a long time from time to time, and the old man had gone over to inquire curiously more than an hour ago, but he was smashed back by the big man with an ingot of gold.
"It's just over the summer, and the weather is still hot. I wore a cotton coat and hung it up, and I didn't panic. ”
The old man hid behind the counter and looked at the strange man, muttering in his heart from time to time.
I saw that this big man was dressed in thick cotton clothes, and he couldn't see a bead of sweat on his face under the hot summer sun. He seems to be seriously ill, and on such a hot day, he is still shivering. He chose to sit in this inconspicuous corner as if he had some necessity, otherwise he would rather sit outside in the sun and bask in the sun.
Yes, this person is the Eagle Lord of the Blood Eagle Battalion. On the day of the funeral, he was ordered by Ouyang Xun to bring back Yang Ze's head within three days, but how to find this person in the vast sea. In his early years, he fell for Ouyang Xun's conspiracy, and he needed to take the antidote given by Ouyang Xun every once in a while, otherwise the meridians of the whole body would be frozen by the cold when the toxicity occurred, and the sea of qi would be directly frozen and shattered.
The eagle lord who had no choice couldn't find Yang Ze within three days, so he was very depressed after he left the city lord's mansion and found a wine shop in the city to drink stuffy wine, planning to wait for the funeral to end and then ask Ouyang for advice, and wait for him to see if he could get the antidote for this month back first, and then plead for mercy in the hope of a few more days.
Just as he was drinking the third cup, there was a sudden slight shaking on the ground. At first, I didn't feel anything, but after a while, I heard someone shouting outside. The eagle lord stopped the person and didn't ask the reason, and his eyes followed the eyes of the person who was stopped and looked into the distance.
I saw a pillar of scorching earth fire rising into the sky, straight up to the nine heavens. The eagle lord had never seen such a landscape, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"It seems to be in the east of the city, but isn't the east of the city the city lord's mansion?"
The eagle lord was so frightened at this time that the soul was scared, this is terrible, this earth fire is so fierce that if you touch it, you will die, in case Ouyang Xun has three long and two short, he will also follow as a cushion!
Thinking of this possibility, the Eagle Lord ran desperately to the east of the city. Stumbling through the woods along the way, and finally came to the front of the City Lord's Mansion, the flames had already receded, and only a faint black smoke drifted out of a large pit.
There was a strong smell of sulfur all around, and there lay a burnt stone beside it, half of its volume had been melted. The eagle lord recognized this stone, this was the Shoushan stone that was originally placed in the middle of the flower bed, and it was already unrecognizable at this time. At this time, don't say it's a corpse, even the stone is only half gone, is there anything left of the rest?
Scold...... Scold...... The desperate Eagle Lord let out a strange laugh uncharacteristically......
"Ouyang Xun has turned to ashes, and the entire Ouyang clan has turned to ashes, which means that he should also die. The earth fire destroyed the Ouyang clan and also destroyed itself. Maybe I should also bring Yang Ze and Yang Dingtian with me, so that I can have a companion on Huangquan Road. ”
The only pursuit of the Eagle Lord at this moment is to pull Yang Ze and the two to die together......
"Let's go to the official road after this forest in front, what are your plans for the future?"
Yang Ze looked at Liu Shishi and asked:
"We are going to Pingyang City to meet with the Murong family and then go to the re-examination of the Nine Star Academy together, or you will stay in Pingyang City, Murong Xiaoxiao and I are also friends, and you should be able to live well in the future with her family's care." ”
Liu Shishi just looked at Xiaotian and didn't pay attention to Yang Ze. Yang Ze came all the way, and he didn't know what was going on with these two people, so he had to shake his head and follow them......
Inky cumulus clouds, tumbling and expanding, fierce horses in the air. Howling winds, yellow sand, and torrential rain. Pedestrians are in a hurry, rain comes, and landslides are closed. The summer is cool, Wanling Tucui, and the green onion of 100 miles......
On the official road, a group of three people walked fast, and it was still sunny just now, but the yellow sand rolled up for a while, and a rainstorm could not run.
Seeing that there was a tea shed in front of them, the three of them hurriedly ran in. There are only a few people in the tea shed, and most of them are passing merchants who have come to take shelter from the rain. I don't know why, Yang Ze always had a strange feeling in his heart since he stepped into the tea shed, as if he always felt that something was going to happen.
The tea shed is not big, except for a few passers-by who sit and occupy a few tables, only the owner of the tea shed is boiling water in the back. Yang Ze stopped Xiao Tian and stood at the door of the tea shed observing everyone inside, ignoring the rain that wet his clothes.
Liu Shishi didn't understand what Yang Ze had suddenly done, standing at the door in the rain, he just didn't enter the tea shed. She didn't want to get wet and huddle herself under the eaves.
Yang Ze saw that there were five tables inside, and seven people accounted for four each. On the remaining table in the corner, there was a tea bowl on the table, and the tea in the bowl was still steaming, but there was no one drinking it.
It's raining outside, and people will find a place to shelter from the rain, and people who are hurrying in the rain don't say no, but it's not quite natural. When you go out, who doesn't know the truth that you don't rush in the night rain and don't rely on the tree when the thunder strikes.
Now this tea shed has given Yang Ze such an unreasonable feeling, even if he is in a hurry, he is not in a hurry to drink even the hot tea that has just been served.
Taken together, Yang Ze came to the conclusion that before his group of three came to take shelter from the rain, one person left, or disappeared, and this person must know any of the three of them.
When acquaintances meet, they say hello and say hello. At this moment, it suddenly disappears, and it must be an enemy! That is, an enemy, this person's purpose is not to escape, but to sneak attack!
I want this layer of Yang Ze's back to suddenly stand up,
"Oh no!
Yang Ze shouted, and hurriedly took Xiaotian and retreated sharply. Although Yang Ze was very cautious and his analysis of all this was very reasonable and immediate, he was still a step too slow.
The aura in the tea shed suddenly emptied, and a person flew down from the beam of the thatched roof. I saw a big man slamming down with one palm, and this palm was wrapped in orange flames from his shoulder. The fire was dazzling, so that Yang Ze couldn't look directly at all.
But such a fierce flame makes people feel a piercing cold. Fire and cold, these two contradictory things are played out in this person at the same time, but it makes people feel that all this is so natural.
Yang Ze instinctively wanted to sacrifice the pumpkin armor, but the other party seemed to have expected it, and he had already used all his strength to disperse the surrounding aura before making a move.
This may be the best strategy for others, but it has no effect on Yang Ze, a pervert who has long been well-versed. The big man dispersed the aura of the surrounding two or three meters, but Yang Ze was able to absorb it from a hundred meters away from Fang Yuan.
The pumpkin armor instantly covered Yang Ze's whole body, and although the big man was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of defense, it was all like a strategy written early in the morning, and the palm that was originally going to kill Yang Ze with one blow suddenly turned to the side of Xiaotian.
If Xiao Tian and Yang Ze were still just a small Qi Protector like the last time they were on the Xishan Mountain Road, this blow to Xiao Tian would definitely be dead. But this time is different from the past, for this blow, Yang Ze didn't even intend to help Xiao Tian defend, and conjured vines alone to quickly wrap around the other party......
