Sixteenth: Arrive in time
The silence was terrible, and a shout broke the peace. Shen Wanqian and the dart master heard that it was a small man's voice, and hurriedly quickened their pace with everyone. Seeing that the firelight was getting closer and closer, Shen Wanqian seemed to have discovered something and rushed over quickly. When everyone walked to the rock, they were stunned by what they saw.
Hu Yixue leaned weakly against the rock, and the little man moved leaning obscenely on the side. Seeing this, the dart master was even more angry, and he opened the little man's obscene body with a punch, and the little man couldn't stand steadily, and was thrown a few feet away by the dart master.
"Big brother?!" Everyone had never seen the dart master so angry, and they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to squeak.
Shen Wanqian didn't expect that the little man everyone was looking for was such a person, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Hu Yixue, and yelled at the dart master, "Is this your hospitality?" If that's the case, it's a big deal that we can walk back to Huangtian City by ourselves~"
The dart master naturally did not allow such a thing to happen, so he stepped forward and picked up the little man and punched again.
"What did I say before? Why do you want to touch my bottom line~" The dart master's muscles burst out, and the little man's face was full of blood. The little man was already small, and after a few punches from the dart master, he screamed in pain on the ground after a while.
"Big brother, you... How can you look at outsiders, don't you know... That kid lied to you~" After speaking, he wiped the blood on his face, took out the wanted warrant and dangled it in front of the dart master's eyes.
The dart master didn't care about the little man's words, and when he mentioned it, he punched again, "I don't care what the situation is, today this matter is one yard and one yard~ You touch my bottom line, you should be punished!" β
The little man's eyes glowed white when he was beaten, and the wanted warrant in his hand fell unnaturally to the side, and everyone who knelt on the ground picked up the wanted warrant and examined it carefully.
"Big brother, this kid is Shen Wanqian!" One of the bandits shouted.
The dart master took the wanted warrant and looked at Shen Wanqian with disdain, "The remnants of the traitorous party wanted by the imperial court with a lot of money turned out to be you." No wonder, say, why lie to us? β
The little man also stood up and echoed, "Yes, big brother, it's better for this kid to be handed over to the court to deal with, so it's good for all of us~"
Shen Wanqian thought that this battle was inevitable, so he couldn't help but protect Hu Yixue and stood in front of everyone with a knife in one hand. The poisonous gas reversed, and the pain in the heart began to strike again, and Shen Wanqian stood with difficulty on the ground with a knife. The flames spread out and hit the faces of the two of them, reflecting a red color.
The dart master hated others to lie the most in his life, and he saw the dart master clenching his fists and approaching Shen Wanqian step by step.
At the critical moment, the sound of a group of people and horses appeared in the forest, booming, breaking the silence. Everyone looked up and looked back, and the boy and a girl arrived at a fast horse.
"Wait~" The young man was dressed in a Taoist uniform and led the little girl to dismount quickly.
The people of Qiankun Pavilion? The dart master wondered. What are these birdmen doing here?
"These two are our distinguished guests of Qiankun Pavilion, the snow on the road is a little late, I don't want the two of you to get lost here, how offensive, and please forgive me~" The young man leaned over and bowed to the dart master.
The boy looked fair-skinned and polite, and the girl hid behind the boy and whispered "Sister Yixue~"
"This kid will say that he is from the Tianji Camp for a while, and then he will say that he is a distinguished guest of your Qiankun Pavilion? Are you all elm heads when we darts?! The dart master scolded angrily, and said that he took out a wanted warrant, "The statue is there, what is the justification?" β
The young man was not in a hurry or panic, "The one you are talking about is the murderous demon, Shen Wanqian, this one of our family is a distinguished guest from Tianji Camp who came to our Qiankun Pavilion, the male is called Er Niu, and the female is called Erni~" The young man pointed to the portrait and said, "And there is no one in the world who looks the same, you see that the person on this portrait has no eyes and a mole at the corner of his mouth, how can he be compared with the brother in front of him?" β
Shen Wanqian was still surprised, when he went to see the wanted warrant again, the portrait seemed to be enchanted, and he didn't know when he had a scab on his face and an extra scar.
"This..."The dart master was stunned, not knowing what to say, looking at the portrait, and then at Shen Wanqian.
The dart master also wanted to find evidence to justify, but it was important to take the dart, and he couldn't delay the reputation of the dart because of this kid, so he looked up and smiled, "Hmph, it's also right~ Then it's still bothering this little brother to take these two away!" Don't make another mistake on the road~"
The young man nodded, bowed to the bandit again, and after speaking, the girl stepped forward and pulled Shen Wanqian and Hu Yixue aside.
"This horseβ" The boy paused, and when he came, he rode only one horse, and it happened that the master had an idle horse, so he wanted to borrow it.
The dart master didn't turn his head back to everyone, "This horse, you ride away~ leave quickly, so as not to delay when it snows!" β
"Disciple of Qiankun Pavilion, Song Yi, thank you here~" The young man helped Shen Wanqian and the others onto the horse and led the girl to disappear into the smoke and dust.
"Next time we meet, you won't have such good luck~" The dart master shouted at the cedar forest in the distance, obviously for Shen Wanqian.
Shen Wanqian rode a horse to carry Hu Yixue, and the four of them came to the inn in Huangtiancheng to rest. accompanied by Shen Zhiyao and Li Changwei.
Everyone sat around, and the young man beckoned the boss to ask for a table of dishes. Shen Wanqian was already tired, so he took out the wine jug and frantically poured wine into his mouth.
"Yao'er, didn't you go to Qiankun Pavilion, why are you all here?" Shen Wanqian wondered.
Li Changwei scolded, "Hey, you kid is embarrassed to say, if you hadn't drunk my bottle of potion, I wouldn't have left you alone?" As he spoke, he knocked Shen Wanqian's head, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that these few broken minions also wanted me to make a move~"
The little girl beside the young man also spoke, "That's it, Brother Shen, Sister Yao'er and I were cultivating in the mountains that day, and my uncle... Ah no, my master called us over and said that I saw you killed in the Great Heavy Elephant Realm! I thought that you must have drunk the bottle of potion, but the master didn't say a word, and pulled us to your side~"
When Shen Wanqian heard this, he complained even more, "Tell me that my arm is broken." Hey, I said you old man, can you come early next time~"
Li Changwei pouted, "Don't worry, kid, you drank my medicine, and your arm will grow in a few days~"
Hu Yixue also opened her eyes slightly, "Dong'er, have you also joined Qiankun Pavilion?" β
"That is, since that day, I have sworn that I must learn kung fu from my uncle and avenge my mother~" Sun Dong'er said proudly, thinking of her mother, and unconsciously lonely.
Listening to Sun Dong'er's words, Shen Wanqian also beat his chest unconsciously, if he hadn't coveted that drawing, Dong'er's mother would not have had an accident, thinking of this, he turned his head to comfort Sun Dong'er, "Don't worry, Dong'er, the person who killed your mother that day is already dead~ There will be a big brother in the future, and no one can bully you." β
Shen Wanqian clenched his fists, picked up the wine jug and poured it again. Sun Dong'er nodded, tears on her face unconsciously.
"Then tomorrow, let's leave for Qiankun Pavilion~" The young man got up and proposed.
"You guys go back first, I still have something to do here~" Shen Wanqian interjected.
"How... What's wrong? Hu Yixue asked with concern.
Shen Wanqian took out the drawings, "There are still three knife scores here, before leaving, I have to find them back, so as not to fall into the hands of bad people again." β
Li Changwei nodded, "It's okay, I asked the boss just now, there will be a treasure appreciation conference in the town tomorrow, and then all kinds of treasures will come here to auction, maybe your knife book will have clues." Why don't we delay for a day and leave a day later. β
"Wouldn't there be too many of us?" Shen Zhiyao asked.
"I'm afraid of being exposed, okay, then let's go back first~ Let this kid be here by himself" After speaking, Li Changwei pouted again.
The dishes were also served, everyone was eating and drinking, and the young man got up and said, "Why don't I take Dong'er back first in the evening, and you can come over as soon as possible after you finish your errands!" β
"It's okay... You all go back, I'll be fine here..."Shen Wanqian still wanted to dissuade him, but Hu Yixue was worried about Shen Wanqian's body, so he stayed. The rest of the people wanted to accompany them, but they couldn't twist Shen Wanqian, so they took advantage of the moonlight to ride back.
After the meal, the two asked the proprietress for two rooms, Hu Yixue was afraid that Shen Wanqian would be unwell at night, so she insisted that the proprietress only open one room so that it would be convenient to take care of Shen Wanqian, after all, his arm was injured because of himself. Shen Wanqian smiled and let go of Hu Yixue, and went back to the house to sleep.
The inn is about the usual two-story building, just next street to the Huang Tiancheng Tavern, the night in Huang Tiancheng is cold, the windows are closed, the moonlight shines into the house through tissue paper, Shen Wanqian lies on the bed and thinks about what happened today.
Seeing that he was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound of weapons colliding in the house, presumably some guests staying overnight, Shen Wanqian sat up and hesitated. After experiencing the events of the past few days, Shen Wanqian has to pay attention everywhere, it seems that there should be a lot of people in the south who are chasing and killing him, if he is found by the previous enemy, he will be in trouble.
If it happens for the second time, something like Feixue Pass, Shen Wanqian will never allow it. I can't let extra people get hurt for me anymore, Shen Wanqian thought, so he pushed the door and went downstairs to check the situation.
Walking to the corner of the wooden ladder, Shen Wanqian was stunned.
The four Mongol khans sat on a wooden table in the foyer, their faces covered with flesh and their swords in their hands, and the floor creaked. Hu Yixue stood on one side and didn't speak, and the proprietress also lay on the account table and drank by herself.
"Who is that kid, don't you know? Wanted warrants are everywhere, are you going to mess with this kind of person for the rest of your life? The strong man wiped his nose and looked at Hu Yixue angrily, "Sister, be obedient, go back with my brother, we won't interact with each other in the south~"
Hu Yixue seemed to hear what the strong man said, and when she heard that she was going back by herself, she became even more angry, and she cursed in nonsense, "Now you let me go back, why didn't you stand up when our mother Ama was captured?" My dead husband, and my missing daughter, do you have this kung fu to other people's hearts? β
Shen Wanqian wanted to go down to dissuade him, but when he thought that the drawings were still left in the room, he couldn't help but return to the room. Sure enough, the window of the room was opened, and the room was filled with cool air. The faint candlelight reflected on the walls, illuminating the room white. Shen Wanqian looked towards the table, and the table where the knife book was placed was empty, and there was nothing.
It's not good, Shen Wanqian slapped his head, it must have been stolen by someone and sold, how could he be so careless at this time? couldn't help but say, Shen Wanqian looked out the window. The thief must not have gone far, and when I chase him back, I will deal with this side of the matter.
Damn, it's really eventful~ Shen Wanqian cursed secretly, jumped out of the window, and flew to follow.
Jumping left and right along the roof, Shen Wanqian came to a sandy place in Huangtian City, which was the venue for the treasure appreciation conference tomorrow, because the preparation was late, and the venue had not yet begun to take shape.
Shen Wanqian jumped off the roof, took out a word Qiankun knife, and looked at him angrily: "Dare to rob Lao Tzu's picture, I think you are tired of being crooked~" After saying that, Shen Wanqian raised his knife and slashed at a teenager in the square.
"Dare to be a thief, dare to hurt my lord!" With a burst of shouts, several guards approached the young man and surrounded Shen Wanqian.
"Are you the prince?" Shen Wanqian squinted and saw that the man was wearing a cloth robe, a hemp rope on his head, and a long sword in his hand, with dark skin but a weak look.
The man stood up and arched his hand: "In Xia Nangong Yi, he is the prince of the Daxi Dynasty. β
Hearing this, Shen Wanqian was stunned, came back to his senses for a while, and laughed out loud: "I have long heard that Daxi's physique is weak, it turns out that you are Nangong Yi!" Sure enough, it's a sick seedling! β
"Presumptuous!" Nangong Yi scolded sharply.
Shen Wanqian was not afraid at all, but looked at him with disdain: "The prince of the Daxi Dynasty robbed someone else's sword book? With your hypocritical appearance, you are also worthy of being the prince of the Daxi Dynasty? β
Nangong Yi's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly: "What an arrogant person!" I Nangong Yi want to grab something, but no one dares to give it to me yet~"
After saying that, as soon as Nangong Yi raised his hand, the guards behind him pulled out their weapons and slashed towards Shen Wanqian. Although Shen Wanqian was still injured, after all, he had drunk Li Changwei's special potion, and he was able to dodge with ease. For a while, all the guards couldn't help Shen Wanqian, and they retreated to Nangong Yi's side one after another, asking for help.
"Rubbish!" Nangong Yi glared at everyone. As the words fell, Nangong Yi drew out the saber at his waist, rushed to Shen Wanqian quickly, and stabbed it.
Shen Wanqian has experienced too many enemies in the past few days, and a flamboyant person like this will naturally not be afraid, but will rise to the occasion. Nangong Yi obviously didn't expect Shen Wanqian to be so brave and forced to retreat step by step by him.
Finally, Shen Wanqian spotted the gap, kicked Nangong Yi hard, and immediately took out the Qiankun knife in his arms and put it on Nangong Yi's neck.
"You ......" Nangong Yi clutched his chest, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Shen Wanqian sneered, "I only have one arm, and I don't have a leg!" After saying that, the sharp blade cut through the skin on Nangong Yi's neck. Bright red blood beads instantly overflowed and dripped into the sand.
"You know what? Dare to rob Lao Tzu's things, you are still the first in the south! Oh no, you're not from the south, so I'm sorry~" After speaking, Shen Wanqian snatched back the knife spectrum from the young man's hand and turned to leave.
Gritting his teeth in a youthful manner, he became ill for a while, and he was paralyzed unconsciously. Seeing this, the guards hurriedly pushed a wooden wheelchair and helped Nangong Yi sit down.
