Chapter 35: The Attack
To be honest, even though I had been tossed around by the Blood Rock Furnace for so long for some reason, I still held it in my hand for the second time and looked at it carefully. Compared to what I saw before, it seems to be a little newer, more transparent, not so much like a stone as like amber. The patterns engraved on it also look clearer, but as always, they are as incomprehensible as the Book of Heaven. Tian Ge once said that these patterns are not quite like words, and they do not understand whether they are pure decoration or have other meanings.
And the moment Wang Shaoting saw the Blood Rock Furnace, it was the first time I saw obvious emotions on his face, but it was not pure joy, there was a trace of ...... in those eyes Beholder!
What do the people of Weilongshan want this thing for? I shook my hand, grabbed the Blood Rock Furnace in the palm of my hand, then stood up and said to Wang Shaoting solemnly, "Now you can tell me what you want this thing for, right?" ”
Wang Shaoting stood in front of me, almost a head shorter than me, and his body was thinner than me more than a circle, even if he really had some skills, I didn't believe that I would suffer any big losses. In this contrast, and with the Blood Rock Furnace at hand, I feel that I have the capital to negotiate.
He lowered his eyebrows and said categorically, "I can't tell you." ”
When I saw his attitude, I had to take a roundabout approach and say, "I know that there is more than one force watching it, and you are probably just one of them." ”
I saw that his eyes moved, and it seemed that he also knew about it.
"So, whoever gets it now, who is going to be the target of the public. I think you know this better than I do, right? "I know what it is.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Weilong Mountain is not easy to mess with. ”
This stupid boy is really not enlightened! I bent down to stare into his eyes and said eagerly, "Let me tell you clearly now, no matter what the rumors you hear, if this Blood Rock Furnace wants to work, it is inseparable from my Tao family. Specifically, it is inseparable from my pottery...... Radiance! Even if I hand it over to you now, it won't be of any use! ”
Sure enough, this statement seemed to shake him, and he widened his eyes and asked, "How do you say that?" ”
"I can't understand you in a few words!" I said urgently, "Anyway, I can only help you do what you want if you are honest with me!" ”
Although there is some deception, the last sentence is sincere. No matter what the relationship becomes, I will always treat him as a brother, and as long as he can tell the truth, I will definitely do my best to help him.
He lowered his eyelids, looking like he was thinking.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "You said that more than one force is tracking it, who are you referring to?" ”
Belch...... This stopped me, but I was inspired to reply, "It's a huge organization, with seventy-two branches in the country, and their eyes and ears are everywhere. ”
"That's the Diggers." He muttered.
Digging Troupe? I thought it was weird, but I tried to make it look like I knew it a long time ago, and I said "um".
"Our goal is to find the Blood Rock Furnace and bring it to Luoyang." He said, looking into the distance. I noticed that he was looking in the direction of Luoyang, to the south.
"What are you doing in Luoyang?" I feel like I'm close to the answer.
"You'll know when you go." But he wanted to pass it off.
I sat down in disappointment and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't go anyway!" ”
At this moment, suddenly there was a crisp sound of horsewhips in the distance, echoing among the empty mountains.
When Wang Shaoting heard this voice, he put his fingers in a circle around his mouth and blew a loud whistle with a "squeak". Soon there was a "squeak" echo in the distance, as if singing and harmonizing with him.
As soon as I heard it, the people of Weilong Mountain had already found this place, and when I tied the horse underneath, I guessed that he had this intention.
"Is the helper coming?" I asked with a smile.
He looked a little surprised when he saw me as if nothing had happened, and looked at me with a frown.
"You don't tell me, do you?" I coldly pulled the blood furnace out of my bosom and threw it down the hill in the distance. We watched it quickly turn into a small black dot and disappear from our sight.
"You!" Wang Shaoting was in a hurry, and ran a few steps in the direction where the blood rock furnace disappeared, and when he saw that it was irretrievable, he couldn't help but pause.
Then he suddenly turned and rushed at me, pulled out a dagger out of nowhere, and landed it across my neck.
When I squinted, it was a very beautiful iron dagger, with a blue-black blade, and a shining blade and blood groove, and at first glance it was a sharp weapon, and the handle was engraved with a dragon-shaped pattern, which was much more luxurious than my quartz piece.
It turns out that he has been holding this thing, so he was subject to me on the horse just now, and it was just a delaying tactic, and he wanted to see what tricks I played! Brother, if you don't take it so seriously, I don't think it's interesting!
"If you kill me now, you'll really have a complete goodbye to the secrets of the Blood Rock Furnace. I mean, don't want to know at all. I said calmly.
The thin skin on the neck is really not a good feeling when it is pressed against the cold blade, my life is now in Wang Shaoting's thoughts.
The anger in his eyes flickered, but quickly extinguished. Putting down the knife, he said in a cold tone again: "In this case, I can only trouble you to go back with me." ”
I smiled and pointed to my head with my hand and said, "Don't worry, the essence of the Blood Rock Furnace is here!" ”
He probably didn't bother to pay attention to me, turned around and walked down the mountain, and I quickly chased after him, how could this situation be as if the hostages were deliberately going to be kidnapped.
As soon as he walked halfway up the mountain, he met the pursuers of Weilong Mountain. A strong guy has become four, it seems that the previous one also ran back to ventilate the news, worthy of a ringing horse, can chase over so quickly, it's just a god speed!
When they saw the second master with a gloomy face, they didn't dare to say anything, and just wanted to escort me when they came up, Wang Shaoting shouted: "No need, let him go by himself!" "They don't dare to make a mistake. I swaggered around them, like a bandit leader!
When we descended to the bottom of the mountain, it was past noon, and a few of our attendants brought some dry food and water from their horses, and we sat down under the trees by the roadside to eat and drink.
I looked at Wang Shaoting's stubble, and leaned over uninterestingly and said, "You don't have to be so disappointed, didn't I promise to help you!" Am I better than a small stove as a big living person? ”
Looking back, the four of them were some distance away from us, so they whispered, "Why don't you tell me what to do in Luoyang?" I'm so prepared. ”
Wang Shaoting glanced at me and didn't speak.
I asked, "That group of diggers also wants the Blood Rock Furnace, do they have the same purpose as yours?" ”
He turned his back on me. Ah, I've never seen such a stuffy gourd! I'm most scared of this kind of person, if I go on a long journey to Luoyang with him, won't I be suffocated? It's better to be the king of that world! Frustrated, I leaned against the tree, helpless.
After eating and drinking, we got on the horse and continued to move forward, Wang Shaoting asked me and another strong guy to ride a horse, let the other three people follow us, and rode the horse to the front! Are you afraid that I will use any more means? Cut, Lao Tzu's means are more, and whoever sits on the horse is the same. I thought to myself.
In order to retaliate for his intransidence, I wanted to drink water for a while along the way, and I wanted convenience for a while, and I found them a lot of trouble, making the trip very slow, and seeing that the sun was already setting in the west, I saw Weilong Mountain from a distance.
The horse was galloping, and suddenly Wang Shaoting in front raised his hand and restrained the horse, and the four horses behind immediately stopped.
I saw him turn over and dismount, put his ears close to the ground, his brows furrowed, and his expression was terrifyingly serious.
The person behind the "second master......" just wanted to call him, but he had already raised his finger and said, "Shhhhhhhhh ”
We also dismounted and approached him, and he whispered, "There is the sound of horses' hooves ahead, as if it were a large group of people." ”
I looked ahead, and the road was winding, and I couldn't see very far, and I didn't see any people.
After a while, he said as if talking to himself, "Strange, I didn't come over...... and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! ”
He stood up, waved at the four of them, and said, "Get on your horse, they're heading for Weilong Mountain!" ”
Hearing so much of him, several of us were also taken aback, and hurriedly got on the horse and followed him to gallop in the direction of Weilong Mountain!
About ten minutes out of the look, in front of the road to Weilong Mountain is almost to the fork in the road, before about to turn a corner, Wang Shaoting jumped off the horse, beckoned downward, signaled us to dismount, the five of them borrowed the cover of the high grass on the side of the road, looked at the fork in front.
I saw a long queue turning the fork in the road and heading towards Weilong Mountain! The men on the horses were all dressed in black hats, uniform swords, and even accessories such as saddles were almost the same style, and they walked like an army with neat and well-trained skills, and there were so many people that they could not be seen at a glance.
"It's ...... Army? I asked.
Wang Shaoting didn't answer me, but judging from his solemn expression, there must be a lot of people in this group.
At this time, the sky had begun to gradually darken, Wang Shaoting thought for a while, turned around and pushed me to the side, and called the four people over to form a circle, and didn't know what to say. The four men kept nodding their heads, and finally the five of them stood up, and two of them walked up to me.
Wang Shaoting looked at me and said in a firm command-like tone: "You go with the two of them, don't act rashly!" ”
Then he took two other men with him, bent down and hid in the grass and sneaked north.
After a while, I only heard two "snorts", and two lights flew high in the distance, and after flying into the sky, they exploded like firecrackers!
The noise was very loud, alarming the horse team in front, and someone began to shout, and a small group of people quickly rushed out of the horse team and ran in the direction of the firecracker.
Only then did I react: it must be Wang Shaoting's signal, indicating that the enemy of Weilongshan is coming! But when they fired like this, it was tantamount to exposing their position, and the people who chased after them seemed to be twenty or thirty, and there were only three of them, how could they escape in their entirety?
I got up in a hurry and said to the two people around me, "Let's go over quickly, you two are in danger!" ”
They looked at each other for a moment and said hesitantly: "The second master said that he wants us to protect you here......"
"Hey...... It's a shame that you're still ringing horses, such mothers-in-law, now that they've been exposed, if you don't go over to help them, your life will be reimbursed! I yelled at them.
They also saw that the situation was serious, so they nodded and followed me in the direction of the firecracker afterglow.
