Chapter 9: The Night Road

"Ha, what are the casualties? He was the only one alive that night in the entire compound. Jiuzun put his hands behind his head and slowly kept up with the pace of the dance, "Because that night was the day when the new emperor of Ju State celebrated the concubine, the Sima family was allowed to attend the palace banquet by the new emperor, as for those subordinates, I am afraid that they would have been fooled into going to the street to watch the fireworks." ”

"So that's ......," Wu Jinghong's brows furrowed.

"Oh, but their losses are not small, this Sima Xinluo burned down several of their large warehouses, and he still poured oil on the fire, so he couldn't put out the fire when he found it."

Wu Jinghong glanced at Jiuzun and said with a light smile, "You are gloating, do you have a grudge against the Sima family?" ”

"There is no new grudge, but there is a little bit of old grudge." Jiuzun squinted and smiled, "But I've already taken revenge and gone back, and the two are clear." ”

Wu Jinghong sneered, she didn't believe in Jiuzun's so-called two Qings, and she was retaliated against by the Shura King who shocked the continent, I am afraid that it is not a simple matter.

While they were talking, they had already reached their destination, Wu Jinghong stopped, turned around and said, "You still don't want to go in, it's a sensitive time." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll just wait outside." Jiuzun waved his hand generously, with an expression of "I am very sensible and understanding" on his face.

Wu Jinghong shook his head with a smile, and secretly said that this Jiuzun really didn't look like the majestic Shura King on the battlefield at all.

"Your Highness the Princess." As if knowing in advance that she would come, Qin Yin stood at the door early and arched his hand, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for saving the little girl's life!" ”

"Lord Qin doesn't have to be polite, Qin Yue'e has fallen into such a situation because of me, if I don't come forward, I can't say it." Wu Jinghong smiled lightly and shook his head, "I'm here because I have another important matter to discuss with Lord Qin. ”

“…… Princess, please speak. ”

"Someone in the country of Ju has hidden traces and mixed into the territory of Yun Kingdom, can General Mao know about this matter?"

Qin Yin raised his eyes in surprise, "How could Her Royal Highness the Princess know......"

"Now, I not only know that they have come to the Cloud Country, but also why they have come." Wu Jinghong Zhengse said, "It seems that Lord Qin appeared in Potou Village because of those Ju people. ”

"Yes, General Mao has heard about it for a long time, so he ordered his subordinates to come to investigate overnight."

"Worthy of a master!" Wu Jinghong's eyes lit up, and he quickly calmed down again, "In that case, I don't need to say more, those people are here for a teenager, and they are nowhere to be found at present, and I hope that Lord Qin will act cautiously and be sure to stop them in Potou Village!" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, rest assured!" Qin Yin buried his head deeply, and his heart throbbed slightly.

General Mao has sighed to him more than once that Princess Jinghong is very conscious of being a princess, although she is loved by thousands of people, she is very measured in the affairs of Yunguo. Just like she is in love with General Nangong......

After explaining the important things, Wu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered something, and lowered his voice and said, "Lord Qin, this Shura King's current attitude is unknown, and I don't know what his purpose is, but his strength is far beyond our imagination, please tell General Mao, don't be an enemy of Shuo until the last resort!" ”

Qin Yin was slightly stunned, and the evening breeze made him feel a chill, so he straightened up with a cautious face.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess's concerns are not wrong, this is not something that anyone can guarantee if you are not an enemy of Shuoguo. After the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, the emperors of all countries are now undecided, after all, everyone wants to do the things that can unify this Great Plains!

"Ouch, you've figured it out, I've woken up from sleep!" On the big tree on the side of the mountain, Jiuzun was stiffened by a carp, and a few leaves fell leisurely. He stretched hard, a few bones rattling in his body, and then his toes flew down.

"Then you can sleep soundly this time?" Wu Jinghong sneered, and raised his hand to remove a residual leaf from the brim of his hat, "Let's go to Si Luo's quickly, time is pressing, take him away first." ”

"Are you going to take him to the Rain Country?" Jiuzun raised an eyebrow.

"He is not lightly poisoned, but he doesn't know anything about it, let's not tell him yet." Wu Jinghong nodded slightly, "Moreover, although his poison is not as poisonous as the one in my body, it also has many similarities. It's better to go to the rain country and let him also seek his own antidote. ”

The corners of Jiuzun's lips curled, "It seems that there is another toss along the way, it is said that from our Great Plains to the west, out of the border is the desert, and the rain country is in that desert." ”

"Desert?" Wu Jinghong wondered, "Are there still sandstorms, sand scorpions and the like?" ”

This Great Plains is the continent where the Eighteen Imperial Dynasties are located, the Great Plains is vast, rich in resources, since ancient times it has been divided into many small countries, after the changes of the times, in the past hundred years has formed eighteen evenly matched powers.

And this continent, in addition to the Great Plains, there is also an unknown territory isolated by the sea, a small tribal country divided by the desert, and the Rain Country is the closest tribal country to the Great Plains.

"No, the climate in the desert is changeable, with one night of snow and one day of heavy sun. In some places, the sand body is solidified and solid as a rock, and in some places, the deep pool under the reservoir is about to sink at the touch of a button, which can be described as a crisis...... "Jiuzun raised his head and said energetically, not noticing that Wu Jinghong, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around, seeing that he was about to collide, but suddenly retracted his feet, and his body was leaning over.

“…… Oh, it's dangerous! Jiuzun exaggeratedly wiped his forehead vigorously, and held Wu Jinghong, who was not as high as his shoulders, "What? Scared? ”

"This is what I want to ask you, speaking of such a thrilling situation, could it be that the majestic Shura King on the battlefield in the past is afraid?" Wu Jinghong raised her head slightly, she was too close to Jiuzun, and this person's momentum overwhelmed her.

"What do you think?" Jiuzun narrowed his eyes, "If the situation is critical, I won't take care of you, you have to go to the Rain Country and ask for more blessings!" ”

Wu Jinghong smiled and said nothing, you have no obligation to take care of me, and I will not drag anyone down. Didn't you try your best to save your life on the battlefield? In times of crisis, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves.

In Si Luo's room, several teenagers were talking softly around the bed, Wu Jinghong knocked lightly on the door, and Si Luo's eyes immediately turned around.

"Are you awake ......"

"Taxing and Fuchen haven't come back yet!"

Wu Jinghong opened his lips slightly, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Si Luo's rough voice, "I slept all night!" It's enough to make several trips back and forth on the mountain in such a long time! ”

"You said, Taxing and Fuchen are the two teenagers who went to the mountain to pick ginseng for you?" Wu Jinghong asked.

"Not bad." Si Luo pursed his lips, the wound on his arm hurting as soon as he moved, "I've already called the other two to find them." ”

Wu Jinghong frowned, and was about to open his mouth to comfort him, when his nose suddenly moved, and his face changed slightly. She looked back at the door, the Jiuzun who had been waiting outside was gone, and the smell of blood wafting in the air was very pungent, and it was getting stronger and stronger - it seemed that she was right, Taxing and Fuchen must have been injured on the way to collect medicine, and they are only coming back now!

"Si Luo, let someone pack your clothes, I'm going to take you away!"

"Let's go?" Siloh lifted his face, the lack of blood made his face look colorless, only the eyes were dark and shiny.

"I don't have time to explain to you now, you listen to me first, and then I'll talk about it when you get to a safe place." Wu Jinghong waved to a few teenagers next to him, "Spread out quickly, don't get together, try to go around every hill in Potou Village." ”

Wu Jinghong's face was extremely serious and cautious, and several teenagers seemed to understand that something big had happened that could not be delayed, and they quickly ran out to pass the word, leaving the two nervously sorting out the packages for Si Luo.

"Where are you taking me?" Si Luo endured the pain and got up, his eyes were fierce, "What are you running!" Why should I run! ”

"This is the territory of the Cloud Kingdom, since you have come here to take refuge, I will let you out of danger completely." Wu Jinghong's words were full of non-committal beaks, "It's still unclear whether those people are from your family or people sent by the royal family of Ju Kingdom, but I will never allow you to make a big fuss with them in the territory of Yun Kingdom!" ”

"Big brother, go quickly! Leave it to us here, and we'll be waiting for you back! ”

The young man left the package beside Siluo and quickly ran out.

"Look, they're willing to wait for you, and as long as you keep this life, one day you'll be able to lead them to do what you haven't done."

It was getting late, Wu Jinghong looked up at the sky, his hand holding the horsewhip tightened, the smell of blood brought by the wind still lingered on the tip of his nose, and Jiuzun did not appear for a long time. The moon in the sky seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of mist, and it was blurry and invisible, and it seemed that it was going to rain in the next two days.

"That doctor boy, don't you have to wait for him?" Si Luo's somewhat hoarse voice came from behind him, and Wu Jinghong's brows tightened even tighter, just hoping that his wound would not become inflamed!

"He'll follow, you don't have to worry about stepping on the stars and Fuchen, with Xiao Jiu here, they'll be fine."

Si Luo gritted his teeth secretly, and was about to say something, but was startled by another voice that suddenly sounded-

"Oh, if you say that, I've disappointed you!"

It's Jiuzun! Wu Jinghong grabbed the reins and was about to turn around to take a look in the car, but he heard Jiuzun's voice continue, "Don't stop, someone is watching, keep walking." ”

"Da Da Da"

"Bang

The sound of the old horse's hooves was very heavy, especially in the place where there was no one around and there was no sound, it seemed slow and heavy. The dilapidated carriage also seemed to fall apart at any moment, and sang happily with broken gongs all the way.

In front of the village is the entrance of the village, go down the mountain along that road, bypass a bend, and go out of Potou Village, and also out of Yunguo.

Wu Jinghong slowly reined in the old horse, and his eyes cautiously scanned the two people in front of the carriage. Both of them were dressed as crop men, with burly bodies and bright eyes.

"It's so late, are you two waiting for me here?"

"Not bad!" One of them spoke, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, coming from his chest, and it was powerful and powerful.

"Is there anyone in the family who is sick and needs to be treated?"

"It's so late, where are you going?" Ignoring Wu Jinghong's question, the two of them stepped forward, "We're going to take a look at your carriage." ”

"I'm a doctor, so naturally I go to places where there are patients. It's really nothing to look at in this carriage, haven't you seen it the day I came? Wu Jinghong was not alarmed or panicked, and replied indifferently.

"The day you came? How long have you been here? ”

"If you count it, it's been five or six days. Why, weren't you there when we came? ”

“…… What's in that wagon? ”

"My doctor boy, he was originally here to drive the carriage, but it was so late, and he was a child, so I let him sleep first." Wu Jinghong said and glanced behind the curtain, his face full of loving smiles, as if he was looking at his own grandson.

The two big men glanced at each other, and quickly took another step forward, "You lift the curtain and let us see." ”

"I didn't sleep at night just to come and see my carriage?" Wu Jinghong muttered in a low voice, but he didn't rub it off, he raised his hand and lifted the curtain, "Please look at the two of you, but the voice is a little quieter, Xiao Jiu is angry when he gets up." ”

There was a dim oil lamp in the carriage, which made it convenient for the two men, and by the light they saw only a thin figure wrapped in a blanket. The breath is steady and deep, just asleep.

A big man wanted to climb into the carriage to take a closer look, but was blocked by Wu Jinghong's hand.

Wu Jinghong's face became serious, "As soon as you enter, he will be woken up, what are you looking for, to be so strict with a child." ”
