The soldiers present could only exit the inn and disperse.

Da Zhuang Dao and I walked out with the big black man, and at this moment, Hua Bo and Xia Ti also packed their bags and followed closely behind.

Da Zhuang was a little hurried, "Uh, I'll go and prepare the car!" ”

"You are stupid, the carriage can't outrun the war horse."

"So, what do you say you should do?"

I glanced back at Xia Ti, and before I could speak, she already understood, "Don't worry!" There are no children in the Western Regions who don't understand horses. ”

After speaking, he selected four horses from the group of cavalry horses and led them over, and gave the bearded black man's war horse to Hua Bo, and I said to Hua Bo and Xia Ti: "You go first, and Da Zhuang and I will arrive later." ”

Xia Ti left two good horses for me and Da Zhuang, and Hua Bo turned over on the horse, "Don't delay, you two, I'll wait for you in front", and then beat the horse and galloped away.

After delaying for a while, after making sure that Hua Bo and Xia Ti had fled away, I asked Hei Dahan, "Who are you?" Why are you arresting us? ”

The big black man gritted his teeth and stared at me desperately, without saying a word. Seeing this, Da Zhuang stabbed him in the thigh, and listened to "Poof!" The sound was transparent, and the blood flowed when he landed, and the black man "Ah! I almost cried out in pain, so I had to beg for mercy: "I said, my name is Lu Meng, I am the Pingxi altar master of the Fangxian Sect, and I am ordered by the right protector of the sect to arrest all the Han people who escaped from the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain, and I don't know anything about the rest." ”

I asked some others, but Lu Meng didn't know anything, in fact, I was also trying to delay time, at this time, it is estimated that Hua Bo and Xia Ti are safe, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so I hurriedly glanced at Da Zhuang, turned over the horse with him, and galloped away.

The sky was already slightly bright, and the two of us went north along the Ye River, and Lu Meng and the soldiers were chasing after him, but fortunately, the horses selected by Xia Ti had excellent foot ranges, and we were left behind without much effort to chase the soldiers.

After the meeting, I briefly told them what I had learned from Lu Meng's mouth, how dare everyone delay any longer, and gallop towards Shache City at the speed of a dead horse. It was already past noon when we entered the city, and we went directly to Shati's residence, General Kurban's palace.

The guards guarding the door saw Xia Ti, frightened, they thought they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and even crawled in to report, and after a while, an old man with a hurried look ran out of the inner hall, gray goatee, estimated to be over sixty years old, burly, and a typical person from the Western Regions at a glance, followed by a half-old woman who still had charm, and saw Xia Ti was speechless at first, and then cried with joy, and knew from the appearance that these two were Xia Ti's father, General Kurban and his wife, the family hugged together, Crying.

After a few pleasantries, Xia Ti told her father about what happened during this time, Mrs. Kurban has been in tears, when she heard that we saved Xia Ti, she was so excited that she knelt down and kowtowed to us, a thousand thanks, Hua Bo hurriedly helped her up, comforted her not to be too excited, we are just a gesture.

However, when he heard that his daughter Xia Ti had been trapped by that Daoist Zhang for so many years, and was finally sealed in a coffin alive and almost died tragically, he cried again, as if he was crazy, and took off the sword hanging on the wall to find Zhang Pu, threatening to break his body into pieces.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stopped her, saying that Zhang Pu had long since disappeared, but Mrs. Kurban had been crying and making trouble, and the most exaggerated thing was that she was going to commit suicide by hanging herself from a beam, and became a hanged ghost to find that Zhang Pu for revenge.

Xia Ti asked General Kurban: "Dad, my mother's personality has always been gentle and peaceful, how can her temperament change so much now?" ”

General Kurban shook his head and sighed: "Your mother has become like this since you went, a little thing will have the idea of suicide, not to mention such a big thing, my father has searched for famous doctors for this, but people say that your mother is caused by decay (female menopause), anxiety and irritability, there is no cure!" ”

Hua Bo frowned, put down the teacup and said, "General, there is a way to deal with Madame's illness." ”

"Doctor Hua has any way, come quickly, as long as I can cure my insider's illness, I will agree to any conditions."

"Oh, that's not necessary, it's actually very easy, just need some manpower, we went all the way, saw a lot of daylilies growing along the way, you can collect these daylilies and dry them, take one or two bubbles of water every day, mix them into cold vegetables for Mrs. to eat, once a day, such a meal, it won't take long to solve Mrs.'s disease, maybe the general doesn't know, this daylily is also called 'forget worry grass' in our Central Plains, the general might as well try it."

General Kurban's face was very happy and grateful, it could be seen from his expression that he was a little suspicious of Hua Bo's method, and it was no wonder that this was not a medicine, and even Western doctors were helpless, and it seemed to be a bit child's play that a daylily could cure the disease.

But it doesn't hurt to try, so I immediately sent someone to do it, and set up a banquet to entertain us, and talked freely, while it was hot, I gave Xia Ti a look, we came here but there is something more important, Xia Ti immediately understood, and said to General Kurban: "Dad, my daughter has something I want to ask you." ”

The old general nodded.

"Daddy, what is the origin of the mark on my shoulder?" Xia Ti asked.

When the old general heard this, his goatee twitched twice, hurriedly retreated, and said solemnly: "Didn't I tell you many times, it's just a birthmark." ”

"No, Dad, it's not a birthmark at all."

"I said it's a birthmark, it's a birthmark!" General Kurban's voice was fierce, and his eyes scanned each of us vigilantly, estimating that if we hadn't saved Xia Ti, this old man would have eaten us.

"Dad, in fact, I knew that you were lying to me, I could have been pretending to be confused for so many years, but now it is different, my daughter has died tragically once, our lives may be related to this mark, don't you want to tell the truth? Do you want your daughter to die again? Xia Ti said and stood up.

The father and daughter looked at each other angrily, stalemate for a long time, and no one refused to show weakness, there must be something here, there must be something here, there is silence at this time, we don't know whether to go or stay, the embarrassment is extreme.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from inside: "Master, there are some things that my daughter should know." So saying, a noble lady came out from behind the screen, and it was none other than Mrs. Kurban.

"This ...... But...... Alas! Facing his wife, General Kurban sighed helplessly and admitted defeat.

It seems that there is something strange about this matter, we hurriedly got up and prepared to avoid it, but before we could speak, we saw Madame wave her hand at us, and said: "Since you are the savior of the little girl, you are the savior of our family, since this matter is related to you, you can listen to it." ”

This was exactly what I wanted, and I heard the lady say, "Son, have you ever heard of the 'Shadow Army'?" ”

Xia Ti nodded and said: "In the early years in our Shache City, there were people who didn't know who the king was, but there was absolutely no one who didn't know the shadow army, the so-called shadow army was actually a group of mysterious robbers hiding in the city, they always haunted in the middle of the night, there were dozens of people, like a small army, these people were half-naked, black cloth masked, they couldn't see their appearance, and they all flew off the wall, they were skilled, the government didn't help it at all, fortunately, they only looked for those big rich families to rob food and money, But it never hurts anyone's life, and after getting it, he quickly gets out. This gang has been robbing like this for decades, and over time, the rich people have been paying taxes, regularly putting money and food in a conspicuous place in the yard, waiting for them to pick it up, even if it is to spend money to keep them safe. ”

Da Zhuang interjected: "Then no one arrested them?" ”

"Why don't you catch it, but the court is also very troubled by this, and the soldiers who sent them to pursue it for many years have been in vain. First, these shadow armies ran through the darkness as if they were walking on the ground, and they were extremely fast; Second, they are very familiar with the roads in the city, and even if they are caught by several fast catches, they can turn around and disappear in the alleys. It's also strange to say, these people definitely didn't leave the city, but even if they searched from house to house, they couldn't be found, like shadows coming and going, so the people gave them the name of the Shadow Army. ”

Mrs. Kurban nodded, "That's right! Eighteen years ago, your father was ordered by the king to lead people to arrest the shadow army, and laid a net in the city, but still called the shadow army to escape, only your father was a high martial artist, and followed the shadow army into an alley, but he couldn't see anything, and he fell into the trap when he stepped into the air, which was full of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and at the moment of life and death, fortunately, a shadow army desperately rescued your father and took him to a safe place for treatment. The shadow army took off the veil and turned out to be a woman, a very beautiful woman, this ordeal between the two of them had feelings for each other, the woman was willing to give up everything, to be an ordinary person, your father also promised that as long as the shadow army did not harm the people in the city, he would not see it if he occasionally robbed some rich people, and wanted to be with that woman until he grew old. But at that time, it was impossible for the Kurban family to let a wanted criminal of the imperial court into the house, so your father had to hide her outside. Soon after, the woman became pregnant, and everything seemed to be peaceful, but no one realized that in addition to the imperial court, there was a force fermenting. Until one day, this woman appeared in front of me covered in wounds, handed over a baby to me, and told me that this baby had the blood of the Kurban family in her body, but in order not to disturb your father and the whole Kurban family, she left in a hurry, but she had just given birth, was very weak, and was seriously injured, and finally she was killed, and the poor woman did not leave a word until she died, but only tattooed the red mark on the baby's shoulder. ”
