Chapter 136: A Thousand Locks
Le'er, who looked at the medicinal materials seriously, said, "Many of these prepared medicines are different from those written and drawn in the books, if only I could see what the fresh medicinal materials are like." ”
A primary school apprentice who was listening to the lecture said, "We have abundant medicinal materials here, most of them are produced in the mountains outside the city, if you are free, you can find a villager to take you to the mountains to see, my master also often shows us fresh medicinal materials, but the person who delivered the medicine did not come today, there is no fresh one." ”
It's hard to come out once, and it's good if you can go and see it, but it's not as safe outside the city as the city, and Qingyue is in a dilemma.
He Zhou said, "It's okay, anyway, I'll go back to see the two of them, it's so boring, I'll go with you, there will be no danger." ”
Xie Yu also said, "Yes, it's hard for us to come out, we will go back to the capital in a few days, just go to the mountains to have a look, anyway, there is He Shaoxia." ”
"Okay, but be careful, there are other dangers in the mountains. ”
A few people took the wrapped medicinal herbs, thanked the people of the medical center, and then got into the carriage and set off, listening to the advice of the people of the medical center, and found an old farmer in his forties in the village below the mountain to lead the way.
Outside the city, there are abundant medicinal materials in the mountains, and the villagers often go to the mountains to dig medicine in their spare time to subsidize their families.
The simple mountain people, passed on by word of mouth, have accumulated some of their own experience, and some of them make Qingyue admire, and they really have endless learning.
As for He Zhou and Xie Yu, of course, they were walking around.
Hezhou felt that it was not as happy as walking in such an unknown mountain, whether it was exploring or climbing, so many so-called beautiful places.
Stop-and-go, a jar of wine also went down, Xie Yu tasted it, and also felt that the wine was strong, and he didn't want to drink it anymore, He Zhou saw that she was a little daughter, so naturally he wouldn't persuade him to drink.
This kind of experience is a rare and novel experience for Xie Yu, and I can't help but secretly envy my aunt and her group of friends.
She has read about the places in the book, they have been to many places, or drinking and singing, or heartily 'discussing the sword', such a life, even if others say it is dangerous, it is still desirable.
Qingyue looked at the elated two, guessing that both of them had a good impression of each other in their hearts, but they couldn't say it, but think about it, there is a Duanwang in the capital, although Duanwang has a noble status, is polite, and understands his daughter's thoughts, but a knight like Hezhou still has a different attraction to little girls.
Emotional matters, always do not allow others to intervene, although among friends, Qingyue still supports Hezhou, but can Xie Yu live a wandering life? Fate is unclear, and in the end it depends on Xie Yu himself.
When going up the mountain, the old farmer gave a few people some realgar and sprinkled it on their shoes, but there were no snakes, insects, rats and ants along the way, but Le'er was small and couldn't walk the mountain road, so he could only carry it on his back.
At first, he was in a hurry, and he had never carried a child on his back, but later, although he was carrying a child on his back, he still had wind under his feet and ran fast, which made people envious.
The old farmer also laughed straight, but the young man had good physical strength, and he would not associate this young man with a smile on his face all the time, respecting the old and loving the young, with the legendary cold and extraordinary, martial arts hero.
The old farmer had already made dinner, made several dishes, and two plates of meat and vegetables.
Although it is not as delicate as Fuzhong, it also has a special intention in it, which is delicious.
The old farmer lives with his son and daughter-in-law, and has a grandson who is three or four years old.
Qingyue helped the old man prescribe a dose of medicine for the treatment of strain, rheumatism, can also be taken internally, and can also be soaked in the foot hot compress, and when he is old, he will not be tormented by the pain of perennial labor, these medicines are common medicines on the mountain, and when combined, it is a good medicine.
Although the old man didn't know the magic for the time being, he thought that people would never harm him for no reason, so he deliberately prescribed medicine to himself, and he didn't need to spend money, so he tried it. The two of them used it for half a month, and felt that the body was getting more and more relaxed, only to know the wonderful effect of this medicine, and the simple people hurriedly recommended it to the old friends in the village.
After a meal, a few people had to rush to the city gate before the process, goodbye to the old farmer's family, Le'er only got along with them for a short time, and he was a little reluctant, presumably the children can feel the sincere affection more.
The old peasants were just thinking about a few young people from other places, as well as children, it was inconvenient to go to the mountains, and they didn't think about making money, but they still gave themselves ten taels of silver, and they had never seen a whole ten taels of silver ingots in their lives, and they held a straight thank you.
The family watched the carriage go away, and the old farmer held the silver and said, "With this silver, you can repair the house, and there will be no wind and rain." ”
Ten miles outside the city, He Zhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden, so he asked the groom to stop the carriage, and several guards who followed him also surrounded him.
He Zhou said, "There are people in ambush here, and I feel murderous." ”
The guards didn't dare to slack off, and the dark guards were also holding their breath in the dark, ready to strike at any time.
It turned out that this group of people made an agreement with the old monster of Cangshan at that time, and went to Sigui City to ambush the Xie family together, but unfortunately the road was delayed and did not catch up.
There is no master at the level of Cangshan Old Monster in this group of people who can fight against Xie Jieyan and others, so they don't dare to do it directly, so they can only lurk secretly and find a chance, but the number of people and martial arts are not as good, and there is no chance for a long time, but the news from above must be avenged, and they have to be stared at in Sigui City.
Today, I saw two weak female streamers of the Xie family, with a child, and a He Zhou who didn't go out much, as well as a few guards of Liao Liao, so I thought about ambushing.
Xie Yu stepped out of the carriage and asked, "Is there any danger?" ”
He Zhou said solemnly, "You go in quickly, it's dangerous here." ”
Xie Yu was unconvinced, "I also know martial arts, so don't hide." ”
The guard also advised, "Miss, go to the car quickly, what will I do if I hurt you later." ”
He Zhou naturally saw that she knew martial arts, but she still didn't want to take risks, but seeing that Xie Yu would not compromise, he changed his words and said, "Then you just protect yourself, don't be reckless." ”
"Good. ”
Qingyue was in the carriage, holding Le'er with one hand, and a few silver needles in the other, and the tips of the needles were faintly glowing with green light.
"Don't be afraid. ”
A group of people made a defensive posture, and the people in the shadows knew that they had been discovered, and they also came out and surrounded Hezhou and his party.
He Zhou secretly estimated that there were only thirty or forty people, and there were not a few good hands, and the real masters were no, and it was not difficult to kill people, but if you wanted to protect the people behind you from being injured, you had to solve the battle as soon as possible.
The person who ambushed him, originally estimated that Hezhou should not be as powerful as Xie Yu and the others, at most he was a first-class master, as long as he sent a dozen or so people to entangle him, and then the others cooperated, and captured or killed Xie Yu alive, it would be a success.
The two parties are silently calculating in their hearts, since Xie Yu practiced martial arts, except for the time when he killed people with a dagger outside the capital, he has not had a few chances to make a move, not to mention the 'Thousand Locks' that he has practiced for many years, and there is no place for it, and he is actually looked down upon by this guy today, I still have to let you see how powerful I am.
Xie Yu's left hand was clasped around his waist, and He Zhou thought to himself, it was not early, and he had to rush back to the city, so he had to solve it as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he slowly pulled out the double knife, and those who have been opponents with Hezhou know that when Hezhou made the double knife, it was a sign of murderous intent, so he should be very cautious.
Those people only thought that Hezhou was already timid, and they thought that they overestimated Hezhou, and the friends of the masters were not necessarily all masters.
The original ten people rushed to Hezhou, and the others rushed to the back in an orderly manner, and the guards all drew their knives, but the secret guards did not make a timely move, because Miss Xie Yu explained that Miss Xie Yu is not a soft persimmon, and Miss Xie Yu should be given a proper opportunity to exercise.
For a while, the sword light rose, and almost at the same time, a golden light bloomed, and Xie Yu pulled out a gold chain from his waist with his left hand, which shone in the afterglow, and the assassins laughed in their hearts, it was really Miss Qianjin, is it scary to take a gold chain.
Although He Zhou knew that the Xie family should be reliable, but what to do with a golden thing, he couldn't help but glance at it, and when the connoisseur looked at it, he knew the horror of this thing, it was obviously a sharp blade.
Feeling the breath of the dark guards lurking, they didn't make a move, and He Zhou also vaguely guessed their intentions, so he was not in a hurry, and he was circling with the ten assassins, the assassins obviously felt that this person was not very powerful, but when he wanted to withdraw to help others, he found that as long as he moved the idea of retreating, the knife was waiting for him.
Hezhou dealt with them, and he also paid attention to the situation behind him, and he was naturally good at being selected to protect them, compared to the uneven motley army of assassins, his skills were much better, one against two, one against three, without much pressure.
However, Xie Yu was underestimated by the assassin, as soon as the assassin approached within five zhang, all he could feel was regret, this chain was not like a sword, and it required great coordination of people, only to see Xie Yu dancing like a dance, the gold chain was like a dragon with a spirit on her side, and the assassin fell four or five after a while.
This is obviously the dance of death, Hezhou simply solved the assassin who surrounded him, concentrated on admiring this dance of death, and looked at his clean and neat methods, the assassin knew that he had underestimated him, but it was too late.
An assassin tried to grab the carriage and hold Qing Yue hostage, but as soon as he jumped into the carriage, two silver rays of light flew out and stabbed the assassin's throat, and he fell immediately.
Hezhou not only sighed, but the current women are too terrible, each of them is fatal, they can't be provoked, they can't be provoked.
Help the guards kill the redundant assassins, only the remaining few are fighting with Xie Yu, and the others are also not intervening, although Xie Yu is under his sister's face, and his internal strength is not bad, but the experience of the enemy is still not as good as these assassins, and it is the first time to kill people with a thousand locks, so it is inevitable that he is not very handy.
Seeing that the others had already solved the opponent, and he hadn't yet, he didn't want He Zhou to laugh, he was a little anxious for a while, and he took a few steps under his feet, and someone among the assassins immediately moved his mind, and He Zhou saw that an assassin's left hand touched his waist, and he knew that he was planning a sneak attack.
He Zhou jumped into the battle circle, back to back with Xie Yu, guiding her rhythm and killing methods, and the assassin took out a hidden weapon from his waist and threw it at Xie Yu.
