Both of them were surprised, and Xiao Lin smiled even more, and said with a little excitement: "I didn't expect to have martial arts qualifications, but I still don't want to learn." ”

Yu Tang frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Learning martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also act chivalrous and righteous, how majestic, you stinky boy don't even want to, but pity this good talent." ”

Xiao Lin smiled tremblingly, and made several jokes, but he also crossed the topic. Gu Lingyun thought to himself, looking at his expression, he was quite yearning, and it didn't seem to be fake, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask.

Although the road is on the official road, it is still bumpy. Nearly noon, the mountains are full of cicadas chirping, birds and vultures are singing, this day, it is a little hotter. And Gu Lingyun and Xiao Lin in the carriage were drowsy in the noise and shaking, and they didn't know how long they had been traveling.

Suddenly sensing a touch of warmth, Gu Lingyun gradually turned his mind, his eyes were tired, and he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. In the carriage, Yu Tang was no longer in the car, but Xiao Lin was still snoring.

Seeing that the light was faint, he suddenly reacted, it was already dusk, and the group had been marching for three or four hours, and they were still good horses, at least two hundred miles away, and they had not encountered the search of officers and soldiers, even if the Chu family was powerful and the road was unimpeded, they should also reach the territory of Yunyang!

Then open the curtain, actually in a plain, there are three or two people supporting each other, slowly passing, low mountains and twilight, located in the hills!

Hurriedly woke up Xiao Lin, and said in a panic: "Don't sleep, we haven't entered the territory of Yunyang!"

Xiao Lin wiped his face and rubbed his eyes, he was hazy and startled, and he also looked outside, but he didn't know where he went!

"That's right!" the somewhat confused look looked around curiously. It was indeed full of sparkling puddles and yellow waves, but the guards on gray-brown clouded horses were expressionless and marched on horseback.

"The land is in shambles, apparently not long after the floods, this is Gangnam Province. Gu Lingyun frowned, and he didn't know what the Chu family meant, why they brought the two of them to Jiangnan. Two hundred miles away, if you go straight to the cold water pass, you can also reach the Yunyang border city at this time, and now it is desolate and wild, and there are remnants everywhere.

Immediately lifted the curtain, the big-shouldered waist and round Shenxing guard was bored with the carriage, and in front, there were originally four official cars, but now there are only two, that Yu Tang is majestic, I don't know when he found a horse, and walked in front of the team.

The Praetorian seemed to notice the two of them, and turned his head to look. Xiao Lin hurriedly squeezed out a smile and whispered to him, "Big brother has worked hard. ”

The Praetorian Guard smiled slightly, calming down, and cautiously staring ahead.

"May I ask big brother, where are we?" Xiao Lin didn't feel embarrassed, but just beat a drum in his heart.

"Gangnam-do. ”

Sure enough, the two looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, and they didn't know why they turned to Jiangnan. Seeing that the guard didn't want to say more, he returned to the car, a little depressed.

But at least it's to escape from the sun and comfort a little. I wanted to think that Yunyang was safer, after all, the Gu family was deep-rooted, and he could also seek refuge from his uncle at that time, Gu Lingyun didn't want to involve them, so he had no choice but to do so. It was impossible to come to Jiangnan after a long time.

The sky was getting darker and colder, and there seemed to be a few Jiangnan buildings shining in front of it, which added a little vitality to the bleak scene. The dark clouds covered the starry sky, and it gradually began to dull, presumably it was going to rain again.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River continued for three months, causing the Huaijiang River to overflow and burst the embankment, raging thousands of miles of fertile fields like wolves and tigers, and the people were not able to make a living.

It was not long before it was approaching, and this was a post station, and the post keeper had been waiting for a long time, and hurried forward to greet him. From the splendid carriage, it was Chu Qingying who came out of the beautiful and light, the maid Yu'er supported lightly, but a pair of pretty eyes looked haggard, after all, she was a deep boudoir girl, so it was naturally very uncomfortable to run around like this.

Yu Tang's concern was overflowing, and he took the brocade robe handed by the post guard and put it on for her, Gu Lingyun and the two of them also slowly got out of the car, their thin clothes were extremely cold.

There was a little confusion in front of him, and the team didn't know when it was divided into two lanes, Chu Qingying was a little tired, and asked suspiciously: "Second uncle, where is my father?"

Yu Tang replied with a slight condensation: "My lord went to Yunyang after passing the cold water pass, and now we are in Jiangnan Road." ”

"Father didn't tell me either, not to mention why did these two little brothers also follow us to Jiangnan Dao?" Chu Qingying's tone was displeased, and the jade eyebrows were tangled, looking at Xiao Lin and Gu Lingyun who were trembling under the cold night, and pity flashed in their eyes.

"The lord said that this is going to Yunyang County, it is very dangerous, and he can't bear to let Miss get into danger, so he returns to Beijing from the east of Jiangnan Road, as for the two little brothers, they will naturally send someone to find their parents, and Miss doesn't have to worry. Yu Tang said respectfully, feeling cordial to the two brothers along the way.

After all, the Gu family is the overlord of Yunyang, and Chu Qianqiu is the supervising envoy who seized the general of Zhennan, if the Gu family is bent on opposing Xuanwu and wants to avenge Gu Gongwei, Chu Qianqiu will definitely fall into a catastrophe.

This trip to Yunyang, there is also a test of the Gu family's intention to rebel, someone in the court is deliberately doing tricks, Chu Qianqiu is also in the situation, naturally he can't bear the young girl to take risks, so he instructed Yu Tang to go his separate ways and be sure to bring Chu Qingying back to Beijing safely.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Hate, my sister must find your parents for you. Chu Qingying comforted softly, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done, but he is faintly worried about his father's safety.

Seeing that Chu Qingying was still thinking about the two of them, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and he also felt a little guilty, he couldn't bear to deceive such a kind person, and said in unison: "Thank you, Sister Qingying!"

Settle the group properly, rest in this post station for a while, and go again tomorrow.

In the room, two childish voices quietly engaged in an age-inappropriate conversation. Sure enough, there was a slight drizzle in the sky, and the cold color entered the house, and it was cold and refreshing.

The post station sent some food, and after the meal pack, the two talked with the little guy and knew some news.

Here more than 600 miles to the north, you can go to Zhedong Road, go straight to the official road to Yongzhou Road in three days, and then you can reach the imperial capital.

"Where do we go from here? Xiao Lin was a little at a loss, and he couldn't make up his mind. If the Chu family really went to find their so-called parents, with their power, they would definitely be able to find out that this matter was fabricated.

Gu Lingyun thought slightly: "Anyway, you can't go to the imperial capital with you, the imperial capital is full of secret guards of the Son of Heaven, we will be exposed sooner or later, or find a chance to escape?"

"No chance, there are guards everywhere, and there is a big master like Yu Tang. Xiao Lin waved his hand and shook his head, throwing a peanut and chewing it in his mouth.

"There's always a chance. ”

"Even if we can escape, will we survive?"

"Destiny is determined by heaven, and death cannot be at the hands of eagle dogs. ”

The sky broke and the night passed in a panic, it was still rainy, but the group was hurrying again. The disaster in this land to the east is relatively mild, but it is also miserable and desolate, and there is no imaginary mourning and corpses. After three days of travel, he entered the territory of eastern Zhejiang, and he has been safe and sound.

Eastern Zhejiang has always been known as the "granary of the world", and the south of the Yangtze River across the Huai River, but also by the flood infestation, heavy losses.

Yu Tang led the group around the Huaijiang River, but entered the western section of Tianduan Mountain.

This place is steep mountains, the mountain stream path is difficult to walk, there is only one road to the horse, called the Absolute Heavenly Gorge, it is nearly noon when you go here, only to see two places are full of steep slopes and precipices, high mountains block, cliffs pull out the sky, cold and solemn and have their own cold. The clouds are closed, the rain is dripping, and the sky is hidden and the fog is sad.

The canyon ahead is not real, and there is no other way to go. Yu Tang raised his hand to stop it, this terrain is very good, and it is the only way, I heard that the mountain bandits are rampant, and the green forest is clustered, but it is a little dangerous. Seeing this, the twenty-three guards pressed their phoenix swords, watched vigilantly, and walked slowly.

The mountains and gorges are as silent as water, or the gravel falls, the wind blows the grass, and the shrubs on both sides move lightly, or the dripping water pierces through the rocks, tinkling.

After a hundred steps, sure enough, a group of mountain bandits in front of him blocked the way, and the horses neighed. Hundreds of famous mountain bandits are dressed differently, but they have been preparing for a long time, thinking that they are scouts to investigate, and they have already paid attention to Yu Tang and his party.

Looking around again, out of nowhere, a gangster with a knife and a gun came out, surrounded everyone, and his face was slashed, and his cruel and cruel colors were displayed on his face. The road behind was also fifty or sixty eight-foot men, armed with simple knives, blocking the road.

The Divine Praetorian Guard is a fierce guard who has experienced life and death, quickly pulled out the carved phoenix knife at his waist, and stared at the bandit in front of him, without fear, with awe-inspiring eyes.

Yu Tang's momentum was surging, a touch of cold color appeared, he smiled, and shouted to the two men in front of him: "Friends on the line, Yu Tang of Yujia in Xiajiangbei, passing through here, look at the convenience of travel!"

The leader is obviously the leader of this party, in his forties, with a thin face, a gray scarf, wearing a gray carved robe, a white jade Yunyan silver belt around his waist, and a hawk-eyed tiger, nine feet light, and smiled at Yu Tang: "Who should I be, it turned out to be a soul destroyer, and my Liang Yan is not worth this trip today." ”

Yu Tang saw that he didn't mean anything, but he was a little different, and he didn't want to make a big move, but he couldn't respond to the characters in the rivers and lakes in his mind, so he said, "How do you say this?"

Beside Liang Yan, a thin man with flying iron claws was full of fine eyes, and his six-foot short figure was not despised by anyone, and he didn't talk nonsense: "What we're waiting for is you!"

With a cold drink from the thin man, Liang Yan glanced at him, and the one or two hundred mountain bandits rushed over and slashed and slashed, Yu Tang took the iron spear thrown by the guards, and roared: "Look for death!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a scuffle, Yu Tang protected the carriage, and Chu Qingying was already panicked, and when he heard the sound of swords and guns colliding outside, his heart was slightly cold.

Xiao Lin was terrified, it was difficult to calm down, the blood was reflected in the car curtain, and the blood burst bloody, and then looked at Gu Lingyun with slightly closed eyes, and asked in horror: "Lingyun, why are you so calm?"

In this scene, when the guards sent by the father escorted the two brothers out of the county town, it was also the same scene.

On that day, watching his bloody father fight alone against the pursuers, Gu Lingyun's mood had changed.

A famous guard sword fluttered, protecting the carriage alive, and even harvesting the lives of these bandits like a god of death, shocking the scene for a while, and blood spilled in the sky.

It also has the courage of Yu Tang, and the iron gun in his hand seems to be integrated with his hands, shaking the general trend with a sweep.

The Sky Swallowing Dragon smashed without a trace, and the dozen or so minions that came from close to him fell to the ground, and even mobilized twenty-three guards to rotate left and right, and the bandits suffered heavy losses for a while.

During the siege, the spears flew like a swimming dragon, but there were many bandits, and they exploded and surrounded them, although they were afraid, they still followed one after another.

Liang Que, a thin man, saw that Yu Tang and the guards were very fierce, and a dark energy was injected into the flying claws in his hand, and while Yu Tang was fighting, he found a blind spot and threw it fiercely, grabbing his arm!

Yu Tang was fighting fiercely, feeling the crisis behind him, he drew back his spear and got up, jumped in the air, and blocked the flying claws.

The two brothers Liang Yan and Liang Que were furious, pulled out their matching swords, flew lightly and directly joined the battle circle, fought fiercely with Yu Tang, and asked for his life, even if Yu Tang had strong internal force, it was difficult to parry, and he suddenly fell into a disadvantage!

Many of the guards were also tired from the battle, and they had already been stained with knife marks and gunshot wounds in more than ten rounds, gradually shrinking the battle circle and moving towards the side of the carriage where Chu Qingying was. Their mission is only to protect Chu Qingying.
