Chapter 142: Getting Rid of the Wolves [Part II]
Zhu Di saw that he was so worried that he almost burst into tears, so he had to nod,
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After the two of them had discussed, they suddenly heard a sharp wolf howl in the distance, and then several more sounds came one after another, and their hearts instantly rose again, and they didn't know what was going on.
They waited in relative silence until the sound of horses' hooves sounded in their ears, which lifted their spirits, and they hurriedly stood up and came to the entrance of the cave to look down, only to see a horse under the cliff from far and near, and the person on the horse was Wu Pingwen.
"Fourth master, the wolves have retreated, let's go!"
After speaking, Wu Pingwen jumped up from the saddle, jumped onto the hole, looked at the two of them, and said,
"Have you figured out where to go?"
"Go to the station."
Zheng He hurriedly replied.
Wu Pingwen's eyes flashed, he looked at Zhu Di again, and when he saw that the other party nodded helplessly, he smiled heartily,
"Well, now that you've decided,"
With that, he grabbed the two of them with both hands and jumped down, and put them all on the back of the horse, and said,
"Sit tight, let's go!"
As soon as the words "let's go" came out, he gently patted the back seat of the horse, and the horse galloped, and Wu Pingwen followed the horse like the wind, all the way in the direction of the post station.
Sure enough, there was no sign of a wolf on the way, and when they hurried back to the post again, the faces of the postmen were full of surprise.
The leader was a tooth general, and Debao hurriedly greeted him, knelt down and kowtowed,
"Subordinates, see His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"What's wrong with you? Isn't something wrong? ”
Seeing that they were all panicked, Zhu Di immediately asked.
The tooth general didn't even dare to get up and kowtow again,
"We didn't have anything to do here, but we saw your Highness go and return, plus last night...... It's your ......"
"Yes, this king had some trouble last night, but it's okay now, you all get up first."
Zhu Di didn't want these guards to be too nervous, so he waved his hand, said in a more relaxed tone, and said,
"Go and prepare breakfast for the three of us, and then free up two horses, and one of my guards is wounded, and immediately get a military medical officer to treat him."
"Order!"
The tooth general got up and ordered his subordinates to hurry up and do it, and he stood where he was and said carefully,
"Your Highness, would you like to go in and rest for a while?"
"No, prepare a flying pigeon for this king, and I will send another urgent letter."
Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered. At this time, someone moved a chair and sat down with Wu Pingwen and Zheng He in the courtyard.
It was only now that everyone's hanging hearts were truly relaxed, and the nervous that collapsed was much looser......
After eating breakfast in the post station and resting for a while, Zheng He's wounds were once again treated and bandaged by the military medical officer, and everything was completed, and a post guard led the two horses that had been selected.
Although it seemed that he was fine, Zheng He insisted on transferring some soldiers to escort him, and Zhu Di saw that he couldn't resist him, so he had to ask the tooth general to draw out fifty post guards and send the three of them all the way to the official road to Beiping before letting them go back.
After rushing for a while, it was noon, and the three of them slowed down the horse, to see if the distance they ran out of this breath was not close, Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Wu Pingwendao,
"Why are Wu Liuxia still here? Isn't it time for you to disappear for a while, according to your habits? ”
"From now on, I won't leave you for a single step."
I thought he would say a few joking words with himself, but unexpectedly, Wu Pingwen replied with a serious face this time,
"Those who are plotting against you have been trying to lure me away from you, and I will never let them do it again this time."
"So, there are six heroes of labor and martial arts."
Zhu Di also solemnly arched his hand to him.
After walking a little further, it was time to find a place to have lunch, and it happened that there was a small restaurant in front of them, and the three of them got off the horse and ordered some food here, and ate while resting.
Wu Pingwen ate quickly, and after a while, he pushed the dishes and chopsticks aside, and said,
"You can use it slowly, I'll eat it."
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a few small pebbles from the ground, put them in his palm and fiddled with them while asking,
"Is the fourth master not going to the post station today?"
"No need to go,"
Zhu Di ate almost the same, put down the chopsticks, picked up a cup of tea next to him,
"In the morning, I already sent an urgent letter to my second brother, saying that I had arrived in Beiping Mansion, so that he didn't have to worry about it anymore."
"So you go to the inn every day for this."
Wu Pingwen raised his eyes and looked at him, said,
"It's good that you don't have to deviate from the official road anymore, and you can save a lot of time when you walk."
"yes."
Zhu Di also nodded sympathetically.
After lunch, Wu Pingwen paid the bill for them and led the horse, and then Zhu Di remembered that his burden was all thrown away when he fought with the wolves, and he felt a little embarrassed. Wu Pingwen looked at him but laughed "haha", approached Zhu Di and said in a low voice,
"It is really an honor for Wu to let His Royal Highness King Yan owe debts."
As he spoke, he handed the reins of Zhu Di's horse into his hands, and said,
"Don't worry about these little things, let's go."
The three of them got on their horses and continued on their way. After another day of walking, I saw that the road was getting smoother and wider, and the slope of the mountains was getting more and more gentle, and I knew that I would soon go out of Shanxi and enter the boundary of Hebei.
Zhu Di was thinking about something as he walked, and finally couldn't help but ask,
"Wu Liuxia, are you really going to Beiping?"
"yes,"
Wu Pingwen showed his hearty smile again and said,
"Look, Fourth Master, you returned to Beiping from Xi'an, and I happened to be going to Beiping to do business, does it mean that you and I are very fateful?"
"Who has a relationship with you!"
Zhu Di glared at him with some annoyance,
"Sure enough, the six martial arts heroes are not only strong in martial arts, but also first-class in this cheeky kung fu."
"Oh? Does the fourth master mean to praise me for my martial arts? ”
Wu Pingwen was still smiling and teasing casually.
Looking at the other party's relaxed expression, coupled with such a laughing attitude, Zhu Di almost thought that there was really no danger, but he was wrong. I saw that Wu Pingwen was still smiling at himself one second, and the next second his right hand was raised to the side like lightning, and two stones that had been fiddling with him swept through the air and shot straight into the dense branches and leaves of the two big trees on the side of the road.
With the sound of screams, the two men fell from the tree and fell to the ground, but they could not move, and it turned out that the two stones had directly hit their hole.
Wu Pingwen jumped off his horse unhurriedly, walked up to the two of them and sneered,
"Speaking of which, you guys are quite patient enough, since we just returned to the official road, we have been following all the way, but why can't you hold your breath now, can't you start when you enter Hebei?" 2k reading web
