Chapter 16 The Evil Fog Rises in the Depths of the Forest, and the Heroes Are Exhausted

Mao Yehuo and the others passed through Huxiang Pass and walked slowly along the avenue. After about half an hour, a small black dot hovered above their heads, and the fat maid said, "Oh no, let's run." ”

The strong man with the lance said calmly, "Don't worry, Uncle Yang recognized me just now." Since he didn't expose it on the spot, he naturally wouldn't pursue us. ”

The fat maid said: "But Peng Dafeng, the old thief, took refuge in Yuan Chengyi, he didn't find our flaws just now, what if he thinks about it now, and instigates your Uncle Yang to catch us?"

The white-faced swordsman said slowly: "We are not out of their sight now, how can we send an eagle to hunt us down? ”

The fat maid said: "But the night is long and dreamy, since we have already left the customs, we should leave early." You're walking so slowly, you're dying. ”

The bearded swordsman smiled: "Do you think that Yang Fangying recognized us alone? The one surnamed Li also saw through my disguise technique, but he didn't break it." Now, if we run fast, we will immediately reveal our identity, and we will not only reveal our identity, but also affect the people who have helped us. ”

Before the fat girl could say more, the yellow-faced woman stopped: "Sister Xia, hold on a little longer." We cannot act rashly now, lest we arouse the suspicion of the enemy. As soon as we get out of the enemy's sight, we can return to normalcy. ”

The fat girl muttered: "When will you be able to get out of the enemy's sight with this way?" ”

Mao Yehuo smiled: "Don't worry, most of the residents near Huxiang Pass have horse-drawn carriages, which can be used by merchants to transport goods and goods. Now because of martial law, there is no business, so Kang sees, but as long as you find a family, you can hire a car, our group is a businessman, and someone is sick, hiring a car will not arouse suspicion. ”

After about half an hour, Mao Yehuo and his party walked to the front of a farmhouse. Mao Yehuo went to discuss with the farmers, and then beckoned everyone to sit down.

The fat girl said, "Why didn't you hire a car immediately?" What are you doing sitting down?"

Mao Yehuo said: "Eat and rest, and this family only has one carriage, I asked him to find two more for me." ”

The fat maid said, "Why are there so many carriages? Besides, we're not tired, so why rest?"

The white-faced swordsman frowned and said, "Are you afraid of death? Have you ever seen a servant squeeze a carriage with his master's family? Also, this kind of peasant carriage is small and broken, and the Mao family is a huge rich man in Dian County, and no one will believe that a husband and wife are squeezed into such a small car. In addition, we have been traveling day and night for the past few days, not only have we not had a good rest, but we have not even eaten a full meal, and now we should take the opportunity to recuperate, otherwise how can we have the energy to escape later. You know we've been delayed for an hour, and after this, we don't want to have time to rest again. ”

The fat girl puffed out her cheeks in anger and said, "Eat you to death." Then he turned his head away and paid no more attention to the crowd.

After a while, the farmer brought the food to the table, and everyone devoured it for a while, and the family muttered.

"Hey, old man, why do these people don't eat like merchants, but like bandits?"

"Don't talk nonsense, people have a background, otherwise how would they pass the pass during the martial law period. And how can the bandits be so generous, the money they hired to buy a new carriage is more than enough. ”

After everyone finished eating, Mao Yehuo said, "Uncle, are the water bladders, dry food and carriages ready?" ”

The old farmer smiled and said, "It's already ready, Childe, please here." ”

Mao Yehuo boarded a carriage alone and said, "Xiaoyu, help Mrs. get into the car." The four of you, bring the water bladder and dry food, and sit in the back of a car. ”

The old farmer said: "Son, we are a small family, and we don't have a four-seater carriage, and it seems that the four-person cart is too crowded. Do you need to hire another carriage?"

Mao Yehuo glared and said, "What's the matter, my family's servants are not so delicate, go!" When the entourage heard this, they immediately boarded the car, and the three carriages raised dust and smoke all the way and galloped away.

Seeing Hu Xiangguan disappear behind her, the fat girl stretched out her head: "Hey, is it okay?"

The groom shouted, "Retract your head!"

Mao Yehuo let out a long laugh, grabbed the groom in front of him, threw it out, and said, "Do it!"

At last the carriage was immediately torn apart, and the white-faced swordsman pointed at the groom, pushed him out of the carriage, and said with a smile as he peeled off his own skin, "Damn, squeeze me to death." Fourth cousin, your heart is black enough, it's really not a thing to abuse people. Before the fat girl could make a move, the horseman in front of her flew out of the air, and the yellow-faced woman flew up and rode on the galloping horse, cutting off the reins of the horse with one palm, and the fat girl hurriedly jumped and pounced, landed behind the yellow-faced woman, hugged her waist, and said angrily: "Sister Yuelian, can you move slowly?"

The yellow-faced woman smiled coquettishly, "No!"

The eagle that had been following them swooped down on the strong man with the lance. As soon as the strong man with the lance raised his hand, the eagle landed lightly on his wrist, and the strong man with the lance caught a glimpse of a note tied to the eagle's foot and quickly took it off. The eagle then spread its wings and left.

At this time, the yellow-faced woman and the fat maid rode to the side of a carriage behind, and the fat maid roared: "Yi Fenghan, quickly unload the disguise technique, I look ugly to death!" The bearded knife man laughed, wiped his hand on his face, revealing an angular face: "It's okay, anyway, you won't marry now." ”

Mao Yehuo walked over with the horse of the carriage he was sitting in, stood next to the broken carriage, and said with a smile: "Forget it, Feng Han, don't make trouble." Let's hurry up and help us unload the surgery as soon as possible, I'm bloated right now, and it's very inconvenient to move. ”

Yi Fenghan restrained his smile and pretended to be solemn: "Obey." With that, he slapped at the two strong men holding the lance and the axe next to him, and a puff of smoke enveloped the two of them in an instant, and then walked over to the woolly wildfire and the fat maid in the same way. When the smoke cleared, Gu Mengya stood side by side on the car with a lance and Yan Jiutian with an axe, Gu Xinjian stood next to the car, and Xia Yuying rode on a horse with a yellow-faced woman in her arms.

The yellow-faced woman smiled, "Brother Feng Han seems to have forgotten someone?"

Yi Fenghan said abruptly: "Wait a minute, I have used up the antidote to Yi Rong Dan, and now I am trying to find a way to prepare it." ”

Yi Tianxing said: "Then what about my sword, being so disgusting by you." ”

Yi Feng said coldly: "My knife has not lost its color, what are you in a hurry? Why didn't you object when I applied the Yi Rong Dan? If you don't disguise yourself, fools will pay attention to you. ”

Yi Tianxing said: "When will you be able to prepare the antidote?" Mu Yuelian has not yet recovered her original appearance. ”

Yi Fenghan said: "Don't worry, now I lack a taste of medicinal materials, I can only try to pay attention on the way to see if I can find it, but it really can't work, and the Yi Rong Dan will naturally be invalid in three days." ”

Xia Yuying said angrily: "Hey, kid, it seems that you should unload the technique for Sister Yuelian first, and then it will be your turn." ”

Yi Feng said coldly: "Hey, it's none of my business, Mu Yuelian's skin is too white, and she wants to be a patient with a sallow face, the Yi Rong Pill she uses alone is enough for the five of us, unless I only solve her alone, the antidote is still not enough." ”

Mu Yuelian said indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, my figure is not disguised, it doesn't affect my activities, and it doesn't matter if my face changes." By the way, what is written on the note that Gu Mengya received?"

Gu Mengya looked at the note, jumped and cheered. Yi Fenghan said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? The car was overwhelmed by you." ”

Gu Mengya said happily: "It turns out that the three uncles of Yang, Huo, and Shou in my father's army and the Eight Heavenly Kings of Chilei under the command of Xia Dazhu Kingdom did not take refuge in Yuan Chengyi, they pretended to surrender and secretly helped us. Now most of them are in the northeast of Huxiang Pass, and Uncle Yang told us to go over and meet them first, and then make plans. ”

Yan Jiutian handed the short axe to Gu Xinjian and said, "Ghost hitting the wall, why is this place name so strange?"

Gu Xinjian said with a smile: "It is a forest in the northeast of Huxiang Pass, it is rumored that there are ghosts and ghosts in it, and people who go in often lose their way, spin in place, and cannot come out, just like ghosts hitting a wall, hence the name." ”

Xia Yuying shivered: "Isn't there really a ghost there?"

Gu Xinjian said: "The rumors may not be true, my father was in a hurry to do the goods a few times, so he crossed the ghost and hit the wall, and nothing weird happened." The ghost theory may have been spread by ignorant mountain people nearby. ”

Yi Tianxing said to Xia Yuying: "Even if there are really ghosts, we should be able to deal with it, you don't have to be too afraid." ”

Xia Yuying pretended to be calm: "Whoever is afraid, let's go over quickly." "Let's talk about it, grab the mount, and walk northeast with Mu Yuelian. The rest of the people looked at each other and smiled, and followed.

As soon as Yi Tianxing and the others entered the ghost hitting the wall, they felt an eerie atmosphere. Yi Feng said coldly: "Hey, it's really a bit evil, I haven't seen a place with such heavy yin qi." ”

Yi Tianxing saw Xia Yuying's back rise and fall slightly, and smiled casually: "Fart, the yin qi of every forest is very heavy, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand." ”

Gu Mengya also noticed Xia Yuying's strangeness, and changed the topic and said, "By the way, how did Brother Xinjian think of pretending to be Mao Yehuo?"

Gu Xinjian said: "Liu Yi is so greedy, the jewelry masters who have passed through Huxiang Pass must have been blackmailed by him, so he can't pretend to be a famous businessman." But if he were not a famous businessman, he would not have had the financial resources to bribe him. Liu Yi is greedy and greedy, but he is very capable, especially to find out the details of his food and clothing, he may know more than his father, so we can only pretend to be a giant, and this person has not yet become a climate, and has not gone to Yao County to handle goods. The descendants of the famous jewelers in Shuzhou, there are not many like this, I have been wanted; there is a person named Zhu Ji in Furong City, who is their party, and cannot be impersonated; most of the rest of the families have been taken over by juniors; the rest is only Mao Chishi of Dian County, this person has always lived in a shallow way, and the family situation is not even known to the people near his house, and in recent years, almost all the business has been handed over to the eldest son Mao Ye to take care of, and it is better to pretend to be his younger son. ”

Yi Fenghan smiled: "Then does that wildfire exist?"

Gu Xinjian said solemnly: "Of course there is this person, and he is really a fat man, and his wife is frail and sickly." Mao Chishi is a famous jeweler in Shuzhou, and even if others don't know about the situation in his family, Liu Yi must have heard about it, so we must not make up a person to deceive him, otherwise it will be found out immediately. ”

Yi Fenghan changed color and said: "Isn't that dangerous? I and you don't know what Mao Yehuo and his wife look like, and Yi Rong definitely doesn't look like it, what if Liu Yi knows what they look like." ”

Gu Xinjian said: "It is said that Mao Yehuo has never been out of the house, and I have only heard of his appearance, I think no matter how much Liu Yi pays attention, he will not know the situation in the jewelry world better than me, how to say that I am also a member of the ancient family of Shu County." If there's really a case, hey, we're just left to fate. ”

Yan Jiutian interjected: "Feng Han, we don't have any foolproof plan now, if we don't risk dying, we can pick it up if we can live, and there is nothing to complain about when we die, don't worry about what has passed." ”

Mu Yuelian suddenly said, "Someone!"

Gu Mengya hurriedly threw the lance in his hand to Xia Yuying, and everyone immediately dispersed to guard against the attack.

A cheer came from the depths of the woods: "Gu Gongzi, I can look forward to you!"

Gu Mengya cried loudly when he heard this, and ran to the place where the voice came from: "Uncle Huo, my father is dead!"

Yi Tianxing and the others were afraid of losing something, so they hurriedly followed. A burly red-faced man rushed out, hugged Gu Mengya and cried loudly, and then a man in Tsing Yi who was about fifty years old and had thin eyes and long eyebrows came to them with a look of concern. Yi Tianxing and the others stood behind Gu Mengya, silent.

The man in Tsing Yi arched his hand and said: "In Xiashou Qianten, that one is Huo Zhongxing, and we and Yang Fangying, who raised the eagle, are both subordinates of the ancient Great Pillar Kingdom. Dare to ask the honorable names of your sons and girls?"

Yi Tianxing and others each showed their identities. Shou Qianxi was overjoyed and said: "Miss Xia is also out of danger, thank God." After that, he raised his voice and called: "Lao Qiang, your young lady has arrived!"

The figure in the forest flickered, and more than ten people ran out, and one of them bowed and said, "The last general, Qiang Yuyu, led his troops to meet the second lady." ”

Xia Yuying hurriedly turned over and dismounted, picked up Qiang Yuyu, took his hand and said excitedly: "Third Uncle Qiang, get up quickly." Let me introduce to you, these are good friends who were born and died with me, the one who cried was Gu Mengya, the guy with the sword was called Yi Tianxing, the one who held the knife was called Yi Fenghan, the big brother was called Gu Xinjian, the one next to him was Yan Jiutian, and the girl on the horse was my best sister Mu Yuelian. ”

Qiang Yuyu glanced at her lovingly and said, "Second Miss, it's too rude for you to talk like this. Turning his head and pointing to a few people ranging in age from forty to sixty behind him, he said to Yi Tianxing and the others: "Old man Qiang Yuyu, these are Gong Xian, Zhai Tianhuang, Bai Qing, Wang Sai and Tu Ming, we are known as the Eight Heavenly Kings of Chilei together with Brother Peng Dafeng and Brother Liao Jingui who you have seen in Huxiang Pass, and they are the domestic slaves of General Xia Bing. Second Miss has caused you trouble along the way, thank you. ”

Yi Tianxing and the others didn't even dare to say it. Xia Yuying said angrily: "What kind of house slave is not a house slave, Third Uncle Qiang, if you talk nonsense again, I will be angry." Also, thank them for what? I didn't ask them to take care of me. By the way, why didn't you introduce a few big brothers behind you?"

Qiang Yuyu smiled and said, "Those are our sons and nephews, let's introduce them when we have time." ”

Xia Yuying said innocently: "Oh. Then when will Uncle Liao meet us?"

Qiang Yuyu said gloomily: "Brother Liao may not be able to leave." ”

Xia Yuying felt ominous in her heart, and said, "Why doesn't Uncle Liao go with you? It's too dangerous for him to stay in Shuzhou!"

Qiang Yuyu smiled bitterly: "We got the news of the death of General Xia Bing, so we immediately discussed countermeasures, and at that time, the dog thief in Yuan Chengyi sent two lackeys to take charge of the Eastern Praetorian Guard. One of them is named Song Xuebin, who is not very good, and our every move is under his surveillance, but fortunately Chao Chang'an of the Western Guards came to help us trip him, and Shou Qianxun secretly came to meet with us and asked us to launch a mutiny to contain Yuan Chengyi and his gang. We knew that with our current strength, we couldn't control the overall situation, so Brother Liao decided to lead the eight thousand guards under our command to rise up alone, and let us come to the second miss. ”

Xia Yuying hurriedly said: "Uncle Liao can't stay and lead the troops? ”

Qiang Yuyu shook his head and said: "Yuan Chengyi is vast and has a lot of people, and he doesn't trust us, if we don't disrupt Song Xuebin's position, we won't be able to leave the barracks at all." Moreover, Brother Liao hoped to sacrifice himself to confuse Yuan Chengyi, so that he could divide his forces and return to the Beijing Division, so that others would have a better chance of escaping. ”

Xia Yuying's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up: "Uncle Liao!"

At this time, Gu Mengya stopped crying and said, "Uncle Huo, why didn't Uncle Chao go with you?"

Huo Zhongxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Chao went to find Yuan Chengyi, I'm afraid he has already encountered an accident. ”

Gu Mengya was surprised: "Why? There seems to be no need to take this risk. ”

Shou Qianxi sighed: "Xiao Chao is ashamed in his heart, and he doesn't want to steal his life, so you can follow him." ”

Gu Mengyaqi said: "What is there to feel guilty about Uncle Chao?"

Huo Zhongxing said: "He is an undercover agent sent by Yuan Chengyi to Gu Dazhuguo, and Gu Dazhuguo fought so hard to pacify Ba County, all because he provided intelligence to the rebels. ”

Gu Mengya was puzzled: "Then he should be the founding father of Yuan Chengyi, now is the time for him to achieve his ambition, why did he suddenly help us?"

Shou Qianxi said: "In fact, Xiao Chao has always been very contradictory, on the one hand, Yuan Chengyi has a great favor to him, and he can't live up to Yuan Chengyi's entrustment; Therefore, when Yuan Chengyi was finished, he felt that he had an explanation for Yuan Chengyi and no longer owed Yuan Chengyi anything, so he decided to betray Yuan Chengyi and leave a bloodline for the ancient Dazhu Kingdom. Yuan Chengyi's conspiracy and his identity are all told to us by him, and he has decided to apologize to Gu Dazhu Kingdom with his death, so he entrusts us with the responsibility of protecting you. ”

Gu Mengya was silent after hearing this, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing this, Yi Tianxing said casually: "What should we do now? Wait for the two uncles Peng and Yang to leave immediately?"

Shou Qianxun said: "I have already written back to Brother Yang, informing them to meet in Qihua Cave five miles outside Jianmen Pass in five days. Let's go now. Brother Qiang!"

Qiang Yuyu turned around and said, "Xiaobai, you go and bring the horses we have prepared." ”

A sturdy young man answered the call, and soon came with a herd of horses, and he walked in the middle of the herd, and although there were many horses, they were in good order under his command.

Xia Yuying said: "Third Uncle Qiang, this eldest brother is the son of Sixth Uncle Bai, what a great equestrian skill." ”

The young man scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at Bai Qing. Bai Qing nodded and said, "Thank you Second Miss for the compliment, it is the little dog Bai Jiugao." ”

Xia Yuying frowned and said, "Don't be so polite, okay? Really, my father often says that you are his brothers, so your children and I are brothers and sisters, how can there be such a division between brothers and sisters?"

Qiang Yu said: "Second Miss......"

Xia Yuying said angrily: "Third Uncle Qiang, if you treat me as your niece, you will call me Yuying in the future, otherwise you will ignore me, and I don't want people who are not relatives to help me." ”

Qiang Yuyu said: "Second ......" Seeing Xia Yuying looking at him angrily, he hurriedly changed his words: "Yuying." ”

Xia Yuying turned her anger into joy and said, "That's right." In the future, all uncles will call it that, don't forget it. Also, these big brothers should be commensurate with my brothers and sisters. ”

Qiang Yuyu and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and reluctantly smiled: "Yes." ”

Yi Tianxing smiled, looked at Xia Yuying and said, "Then Yuying, let's go." ”

Xia Yuying said angrily: "Is Yuying's name you?"

Yi Tianxing laughed and walked straight to the east: "Uncles, the direction is right." ”

Shou Qianxun replied, "That's right. He turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go too." ”

Yi Tianxing and his entourage walked among the trees, and no one noticed that a white mist gradually filled the forest. After a while, Mu Yuelian suddenly said, "Don't you think it's strange?"

Yi Tianxing was stunned and immediately stopped: "What's the matter?"

Mu Yuelian said: "My eyesight seems to have dropped a lot. Normally, even if it's dark night, I can see things a hundred steps away, but now it's all white and misty ten feet away, and everything is clear. ”

Xia Yuying stared at it and said in a trembling voice: "I also have something ten zhang away." There are ghosts!"

Yi Tianxing looked around and said, "It's nothing special, it's very clear." ”

Yi Fenghan and Gu Mengya also chimed in: "Don't be suspicious, it's normal." ”

Shou Qianxun frowned and said, "That's right, I'm also clear." The rest of the people also said that the kang was clear.

Qiang Yuyu said: "Are the three sons pregnant with strange treasures?"

Yi Tianxing and the other three glanced at each other, and Yi Tianxing said to Mu Yuelian: "I'll go to the place where you see the kang, take out the things on your body one by one, and see what things can ward off evil spirits." ”

Yi Tianxing turned over and dismounted, and when he left everyone about five zhang, Mu Yuelian said: "Yi Tianxing, I can only see five zhang away now, and I can't see you anymore." ”

Yi Tianxing stopped, took out the Sancai Signal Card from his arms, looked at everyone, shook his head, and took it back, and then took off the blue blood Danfeng hanging on his chest - green @ color # Xiao ¥ said & net - sighed: "Gongsun Yun jumped down from the cold pool, but I didn't find his body." The rest, we have not yet found. ”

Yuan Shiying exclaimed: "What? You actually caught up with Gongsun Yunxuan?"

Chang You looked at Yuan Shiying with a sympathetic expression: "My Moyun can track all beasts, and Wind Thunder is no exception. ”

Yuan Shiying's hands burst out, and he hissed: "I killed Brother Gongsun Xian." ”

Chang You shook his head: "Without the wind and thunder, he can't escape from our palms." You two are role models. ”

Yuan Shixiong calmed down, pulled out his hand from Yuan Shiying, and sneered: "What about Gu Mengya, why didn't you catch them?"

Wu Tai said: "They are not small, they actually broke through the level, which caught us off guard, and we wasted a lot of time looking for the reincarnation gun." However, an escape like theirs will not be able to pass the Huxiang Pass in any case, so they should be near here, just like you, blocked from the gate. Moreover, they only passed through the Duheng Town checkpoint 600 miles away from Huxiang Pass yesterday, and they couldn't run far. Even if they are lucky enough to pass the Huxiang Pass, we already know their routes and methods, and with the help of the Liu family, they will not be able to escape. ”

Yuan Shiying said coldly: "The reincarnation gun has fallen into your hands?"

Wu Tai smiled bitterly: "The reincarnation spear was taken away by the demons of the reincarnation sect. ”

Yuan Shiying sighed secretly and said indifferently: "Thank you Wu Zhuguo, let's do it." ”

Wan Gui shouted: "Bold traitor, to such a point, still trying to resist, it is really stubborn. Today next year will be your death day!" After that, he led the four beasts of Rongcheng and the rich iron cavalry to pounce on Yuan Shiying.
