Chapter 43: Night Talk

"Joke!" Rui Wei raised his eyebrows, as if he was angry, and as soon as he raised his hand, he had already pointed the soul stick at the door of my head. He said sharply: "If you don't want to take me with you, just say it, what do you mean by so much nonsense?" ”

When I looked at it, if I said that I didn't bring her, I wouldn't let my head bloom on the spot! Hurriedly nodded and said with a flattering face: "Bring!" Bring! Who said not to take me with whom! Besides, I don't have any money, so I won't drink the northwest wind if I don't take you! ”

She saw that I was still serious just now, and then suddenly her mouth became poor, her face turned red, she put down her soul stick and pouted, "Cut, who is rare for you to bring, I just happen to have something to do." ”

I couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then may I ask my aunt, where are you going to do something?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and snorted, "This ...... I'll tell you later! Then she stomped her feet and went back to the car, and heard her yelling at Wang Shaoting: "Get aside, your feet are too long!" I couldn't help but snicker for a long time.

Actually, I'm just teasing her, I've been walking around the streets with her for some reason these days, and a lot of people have seen us, and now that I'm the target of public criticism, it's impossible for her not to be implicated. How could I possibly feel comfortable leaving her behind?

As for the direction of progress, I think it should be Luoyang. Wang Shaoting once said that he would take me and the Blood Rock Furnace to Luoyang, presumably there are clues related to this secret, so you might as well go and investigate it.

After waiting for a long time, just when my heart was sinking deeper and deeper, and I was about to give up, a black shadow rushed to me, and when I saw it, I stood up and said with joy: "It's coming!" ”

I saw that the man came over slowly after approaching, it was really Daddy Yan, and he was carrying a burden behind him, which must be a selection of his family backgrounds.

I got into the carriage again, and my father and I sat side by side in front of me and showed me the way. We, a group of four people who were once completely out of bounds, embarked on a journey of escape together!

The carriage drove out for about two hours, and seeing that the moon was already in the middle of the sky and the night was getting deeper, I was a little tired, but at this time, I saw a small forest in front of me, so I stopped the carriage and planned to camp on the spot.

Wang Shaoting was an injured man, and I wanted him to sleep in the carriage, but he was resolutely unwilling, so I had to help him down, find a dry place and simply spread some fine branches, and then put on clothes for him to lean on, and the carriage was given to Rui Wei.

Father Yan first inspected Wang Shaoting's wound and felt that it was no longer a big problem, and all that was left was to wait for his vitality to recover. After skillfully lighting a bonfire, he sat down and leaned against the big tree next to him to take a nap.

I came to Wang Shaoting's side, took out the dagger he gave me from his sleeve, stretched out my hand and handed it to him, and said, "Give it back to you, this dagger is so well maintained, it is probably your family's heirloom or something, right?" ”

But he didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but said, "Take it, I think you can use it very easily, and it's not suitable to use a piece of stone as a weapon." ”

"Is that okay? All right! I laughed, thinking that this kid still holds a grudge!

As soon as he stood up, he suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say to you." As he spoke, he struggled to sit up.

I sat down next to him and laughed, "Say what?" ”

He looked at me for a few seconds and said, "Tao Zhihuan, you are a strange person, I have never understood why you saved me, not only am you and I not friends, it seems that we used to be enemies." ”

I thought to myself, this is a kind of reward for your life-saving grace.

But at the moment, he couldn't tell him such a complicated and bizarre story, so he could only say: "Actually, there is no reason, but it is a kind of intuition, I feel that you are not a heinous person, and you seem to know more about the Blood Rock Furnace, I hope to investigate this matter clearly." ”

He looked at the bonfire with both eyes, silent, as if he was thinking, and then said, "Sometimes I really suspect that you are not Tao Zhihuan at all, because you don't seem to know anything about your family, but you look exactly like Tao Zhihuan......"

I hurriedly explained: "Don't doubt it, I'm the Tao family who is fake!" It's just that some things I encountered before are now some of my memories are blurred! ”

"My memory is blurred...... "His face darkened suddenly, "and do you remember what happened to your family?" ”

My heart tightened, Father Yan had mentioned this matter, and said that it was done by people from Weilong Mountain...... I haven't checked with Wang Shaoting because I'm really not sure what I'll do if he says something I don't want to hear. Now hearing him ask, I nodded, and then looked at his face, uneasy.

He sighed and said, "Speaking of which, I also have a certain responsibility for this matter, when your whole family was brought to Weilong Mountain for the first time, I deliberately let you go. But I didn't expect to encounter something like that on the road, and your whereabouts are unknown because of it. When Du Zifeng brought you to Weilong Mountain for the second time, I was really surprised! ”

"The second time? It means that for the first time, Du Zifeng betrayed us to Weilong Mountain? "I was surprised.

Wang Shaoting nodded and said, "Du Zifeng, this person is unfathomable. ”

I feel a little relieved, at least Wang Shaoting didn't tell me that my family was killed by him, otherwise I really don't know what to do next.

I asked him, "Do you know where we're going?" Luoyang. ”

His eyes flashed, and he said with some surprise: "Really? Aren't you afraid that there is a tiger's den in Longtan in front of you? ”

"So you're going to tell me the truth!" I put my arm on his shoulder and said, "Now that we're grasshoppers tied to a rope, you need to tell me more about what you know, and I'll be able to deal with what happens to me when I get back." Didn't you say before that you would know everything when you went to Luoyang? Then I have to go! ”

"But you don't have the Blood Rock Furnace now, and it won't help to go to Luoyang." He bowed his head and said.

"Who said that? What do you see this is? I reached out and pulled it into my sleeve, and the small and delicate Dan furnace appeared in my hand.

Wang Shaoting was taken aback when he saw it, and was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "You...... You're cheating again! ”

I laughed and said, "I'm not afraid you'll kick me away when you get something!" Now there is really no fraud, I am frankly treating you as a brother, you just treat me as a Tao family, tell me the whole thing, okay? ”

The following is the past story that Wang Shaoting recounted, which I deleted the difficult expressions and translated into the vernacular.

People usually think that the happiest person in this country is the emperor, because the emperor seems to have all the beauty of this world, and there is nothing to worry about. In fact, the more this was the case, the more the emperor was afraid of one thing, so afraid that he often did not eat well and slept unsteadily, that is: he would die.

The more you have, the more you feel that your life is too short! What a wonderful thing it would be if we could live to live for 10,000 years, as everyone shouted!

Therefore, for many years, there has been a group of people around the emperor who are responsible for studying the art of immortality, even if the national strength is exhausted, as long as such an ability is mastered, what grand undertakings can not be realized?

And one of the characteristics of these researchers is that they are not on the stage, do not have any official titles, and are even restricted from contact with their families, and can only hide in a private palace most of the time, concocting and testing various medicines every day. Wang Shaoting's father, Wang Che, is one of them, and has been the main person in charge of the project for a long time.

However, after nearly twenty years, the emperor has changed many times, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been consumed, and he still has not been able to refine the suitable elixir to help the emperor realize his dream of immortality in the Spring and Autumn Period. At this time, the emperor was recommended to put his hope on one of his generals, Tao Jingchong, who is said to have the treasure of immortality in his family - the Blood Rock Furnace.

Although General Tao repeatedly explained to him that the Blood Rock Furnace did not have such an effect, the emperor still did not want to believe it, because Wang Che had always been friendly with the Tao family, so he sent him to persuade him, hoping that the Tao family could sacrifice the secret of the Blood Rock Furnace.

But Wang Che went to the Tao family and did only one thing, that is, to persuade the Tao family to abandon the official position and flee. Because he knew very well in his heart that if the Blood Rock Furnace really had that kind of miraculous effect, the emperor would definitely find a way to cure the Tao family's sin and take it for himself reasonably; And if there is no effect, Long Yan will be even more furious, and the consequences will still be the whole family. In other words, whether or not they sacrifice the Blood Rock Furnace, it will only be a dead end in the end.

So, the Tao family left Luoyang late at night, but the upright Wang Che insisted on returning to the palace to express his feelings and explain to the emperor the unreality of the dream of immortality. The emperor was furious, of course, but instead of killing him, he sent him to prison and told the Tao family to exchange the blood furnace for his friend.

Wang Shaoting was lucky to escape from the arrest of Zhulian and went to Youzhou, where he met Qiu Weilong, a brother, and entered the cottage. Since then, he has been searching for the Tao family and the Blood Rock Furnace, hoping for a chance to save his father.

A few days ago, I suddenly received a secret message from a falcon named Du Zifeng, saying that the Tao family had appeared in Youzhou and would use a trick to take them to Weilong Mountain.

However, after meeting General Tao's family, he was greatly disappointed. General Tao was depressed and was seriously ill and dying. The young Tao Zhihuan is introverted and wooden, and has never said a word, abiding by his father's instructions, and would rather die than hand over the blood furnace. The rest of the people are some women's families, and they don't have any opinions.

Under such circumstances, Wang Shaoting was moved by compassion and deliberately arranged for people to relax the guards and let them escape at night.

But the next day, I got the news: the Tao family was sniped on the road, and except for Tao Zhihuan, whose whereabouts are unknown, the rest are dead!

Just when Wang Shaoting felt that it was hopeless to start with the Blood Rock Furnace, Du Zifeng actually brought Tao Zhihuan again, but how could Tao Zhihuan this time seem to be completely different from before......

He paused at this point, looked at me, and said, "You can't be Tao Zhihuan's twin or something, right?" ”

I smiled and said, "If you're willing to look at it that way, you can do that!" But I'm really surprised, you didn't want to say a word before, why are you so happy this time? ”

He lowered his head and was silent for a while: "After I was injured this time, I kept hearing someone calling me in the haze, because of this call, I didn't give up the last trace of life, and when I woke up, I found that the person who called me was you." From that moment on, I had already decided that I would definitely give you back this life I owe you. Life can be returned, what else can't be said? ”

I patted him on the shoulder with relief and said, "Then can I ask you for one more little thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

I smiled and said, "Call me 'Boss Yong' in the future!" ”
