Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 31 - Undercurrents
Let's say that after Anmin County, Wu Kang and his party traveled for another half a month before arriving at the boundary of Hedong.
Along the way, everyone met a large number of refugees from Longxi several times.
Time passed, and the rising sun also converged its light, gradually moving from the sky to the edge. The dazzling light also slowly turned into a touch of glow.
"It's getting late! Let's go further and see if there is a place to spend the night!"
"Good!"
Although they had been on the road for a day, they had not yet reached the level of exhaustion, and they all replied. After about half an hour, they finally found a small town and settled down in the only inn in the town.
Don't look at the dilapidated town, the inn temple is small, but within a radius of dozens of miles, there is only such a small inn, where officials and businessmen have to rest. Everyone spent a lot of money, and the innkeeper promised to give a few people a small room.
When they entered the room, they saw that the room was so small that it was abandoned, and there was only a small table and a small bed that could lie down for one person. A few people had no choice but to let the old beggar sleep on the bed, while the other three made their own bunks.
.......
Boling County, Cui Province.
A middle-aged man was sitting high in the hall, his eyes slightly closed, and he slowly lowered the teacup in his hand.
"You mean, Cui Tong's father and son were killed?"
Wu Li, who was standing in the hall, nodded his head again and again.
"Then what are you doing at my Cui family?"
The middle-aged man got up and came to Wu Li's approach. Wu Li, who had been keeping his head down, only felt a coercive momentum coming, and hurriedly replied: "Qi, Qi Qi family master, the little one came to disturb the family master, one is to let the family master avenge Cui Tong's father and son, so as not to damage the majesty of the Cui family; The second one is for myself! ”
Wu Li looked at his left arm that was cut off by Guan Shouting, and his tone was full of hatred.
"What do you three think?" The middle-aged man ignored Wu Li, but instead looked up at the three young people who had been standing behind him and asked.
The eldest one heard this: "Father, according to the child's opinion, this Cui Tong father and son have no entry into the clan, and if they die, they will die!" ”
"Big brother is right, two wastes, and it's a waste of food to keep them! It's just ......" the second young man stopped talking.
"Just what?"
"It's just that if you don't send someone to ask the murderer for an explanation, I'm afraid it will damage the face of our Cui family!"
"Third child, what do you think?" The middle-aged man moved his gaze to the young man next to him and asked.
The young man glanced at the middle-aged man, and spit out two words with an expressionless face: "It's all right." ”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "That's it! The death of the two wastes doesn't have much impact, if this matter is not investigated, I am afraid that the world will underestimate the Cui family! ”
"Father, then I'll go with my second brother?"
"Nope! The alliance is imminent, and you must not be distracted! It's just a few cheap lives, and you don't need to do it! ”
…………
"Oh? The Cui family was killed? ”
"Yes!"
"Have you found out who did it?"
"The Lord of the Qiyu Hall is a little ghost!"
"Imp? Interesting, interesting, a little ghost dares to provoke the family! ”
"What does the hall master mean?"
"Let the black and white impermanence and the four little ghosts continue to inquire about the news!"
"Yes!"
"Hundreds of years! Does the Northern Underworld finally have a chance?!"
…………
Inside the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
"Queen Qiyu, the national teacher is waiting in the front hall!"
When Jia Nanfeng heard this, he hurriedly got up and went to the front hall.
The old man sitting in the front hall saw Jia Nanfeng coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"The national teacher doesn't have to be polite! Come on, give the national teacher a seat!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"Is there something wrong with the national teacher coming so late?" The two sat down, and Jia Nanfeng was the first to ask.
The old man's eyes signaled, Jia Nanfeng understood, and ordered the chamberlains and palace maids in the palace to retreat.
When there were only two people left in the hall, the old man slowly spoke: "Niangniang, the people of the Cui family have been killed!" ”
When Jia Nanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, after all, the Cui family's power in the court and local forces are enough to call for wind and rain.
Now that someone dares to kill someone from the Cui family, Jia Nanfeng is naturally shocked.
"Niangniang don't be frightened, it's just two miscellaneous fish of the Cui family who died! But I don't think the Cui family will stop there! So I came to ask what the mother meant!"
"Have you found out who did it?"
Jia Nanfeng's expression narrowed slightly, and he asked. The old man shook his head helplessly.
"Well, since it's an inconsequential character, let's let the Cui family make trouble! The national teacher should hurry up the matter of the martial arts alliance! When the time is right, it can be a wake-up call for the Maison!"
…………
Following.
Birds chirp at the door, and the breeze comes in.
Wu Kang was woken up by a gust of fresh wind, only to see that the window was opened at some point, and he entered the tall green bamboo forest.
After Wu Kang woke up, he didn't feel sleepy, and slowly came to the window, looking at a large number of bamboo forests, listening to the sound of chirping in the forest, and feeling the gentle breeze.
The breeze drifted by, and the bamboo leaves flew down. Wu Kang reached out and grabbed the bamboo leaves, which were covered with drops of crystal clear water.
Before Wu Kang could take a closer look, a breeze stroked and took away the bamboo leaves in Wu Kang's palm.
Looking at the bamboo leaves floating away, Wu Kang couldn't help but think of his old friend, took out a golden token from his body, and carefully stroked the token.
After so many years, Wu Kang's memory of the little girl's face has blurred, but he still can't forget the little girl who will be chasing after him tomorrow.
"What are you looking at? Watching it so fascinating? ”
Just as Wu Kang was in his trance, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. Wu Kang looked back, Zhang Danshen seized the opportunity, poked his head to the right, and suddenly saw the token.
"Yo Yo Yo, are you thinking about her again? Hahaha, you're stunned! ”
"Two seniors, come and see, Wu Kang is secretly looking at things and thinking about people again!"
"Zhang Danshen!"
Zhang Danshen shouted, Guan Shouting and the old beggar laughed, and then ran away laughing, Wu Kang put away the waist card and chased out.
The two ran out of the inn and chased around the town for a while before returning to the inn.
After returning to the inn, the old beggar and Guan Shouting had already put away their things and told them to leave after breakfast.
Due to the early wake-up, there were only three or three guests downstairs, and a few people occupied a table and ordered a few dishes. As soon as they sat down, they heard something of interest from the adjacent table.
