Chapter 189: The soldiers blocked the way back to the south
In the dilapidated house, Ning Ke and Lin Manliu confronted each other on the spot, looking at each other, neither side immediately spoke out their thoughts, and in this way, the entire house fell into a short silence.
The boy put his sword and package at his feet, sat down again, looked at the silent scholar in front of him, and was about to raise his hand to salute and say his last goodbye.
"Why go back... This rebellion of the Evil Gate, you have come all the way from Juzhou, haven't you seen it yet... Even if you go, what can you do, besides, you also said that your master is in charge of your hometown, and there is also a master and uncle in the villa... What do you need to do back?" Ning Ke said at this time.
"It is precisely because I have seen all these chaos that I need to go back and inform the villa as soon as possible of what I have done and seen, so that more people cannot suffer from this cholera slaughter again..."Lin Manliu sighed, he knew that Ning Ke was just worried about his safety at this time, and he felt that his idea of returning south was not worth it.
“...... And what about yourself! Don't you know... Now those people who have a great view of the wind and snow have a deep hatred for you, and that Elder Hua is even more eager to break your body into thousands of pieces, even so, do you still want to go back? Ning Ke was silent for a moment, thinking of the reason for fleeing north before, and immediately spoke, which was probably the last reason she thought at this time.
"In the same way, if I really leave, even if the rebellion of the Evil Gate can be quelled later... Between Yijian Villa and Fengxue Grand View Tower, there will also be grudges, and it is unknown when it will break out... This matter still needs me to send a letter back to the village as soon as possible, and inform the owner of the village, Mr. Mo, as well as the old liar..."Lin Manliu put his hands on his knees and looked at Ning Ke solemnly.
The scholar fell into silence, did not say anything to dissuade her, and directly got up and walked towards the courtyard gate, and when she walked to the courtyard door of the house, she pushed open the half-hidden door with one hand, and then turned her head to look at the young man behind her, and said loudly: "Then from now on, everyone will go their own way, and the saving grace of the Sword Valley will be paid off...".
Listening to Ning Ke's words, Lin Manliu lowered his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that grace of life, and then in exchange for how many times to help, to say that it is also... It's long overdue... But now, how do you speak... Immediately after that, the sound of the door closing came, which made the young man hurriedly look up at the location of the courtyard gate, Ning Ke had already left?
Lin Manliu immediately got up and walked out, but after going out, where could he still see Ning Ke's figure, and the wooden fence at the courtyard gate left the young man's little yellow horse... On the muddy ground on Xiao Huang's side, there are still some shallow horseshoe prints... Looking around, he couldn't see the direction where Ning Ke was going, the young man sighed, Ning Ke was above him in terms of body and martial arts, even if he didn't go far, he just wanted to hide, naturally he couldn't find it anyway.
Lin Manliu had to walk back into the house, put on his two swords, then returned his burden to the belly of the little yellow horse, looked at the house again, and then turned on his horse and headed south.
...... The young man who went south, after walking for more than ten miles, finally found a village, in the vast mountains and forests, finally saw a little cooking smoke, counting the time and it was almost time for dinner, Lin Manliu decided to rest for a while at the tea stall outside the village, buy some dry food, and then go on the road.
He tied Xiao Huang to a tree stump outside the tea stall, and he could vaguely hear the sound of small talk coming from the tea stall.
It's like a few mountain men who have nothing to do here, chatting about what they have seen and heard recently...
"Did you hear that? It's almost a mess in the south... If you want me to say, these are what kind of rivers and lakes, trivial matters have to be handled by the officials on weekdays, and the officials are not allowed to get involved in control when there is chaos... What a way to give them power... If those individuals are released north, they won't all have to live with their heads shrunk?! ”。
"Be quiet! We're not far from the south... On weekdays, there will be some reckless people who travel here, and they will listen to you, and you must not be beaten to pieces! ”。
"What are you afraid of! It's not like you haven't seen it, since the south side of the fight has begun to get messy, look! Look! There are a lot of officials in our village, and they are there! ”。
Listening to the small talk of these people, Lin Manliu probably knew where he was now, and in the past seven days... It seems that he has really traveled a lot, and the young man thought about it and walked into the tea stall, and the people who had been chatting before noticed that someone suddenly walked into the tea stall, and when they looked at it, they were carrying a sword on their backs, and immediately stopped their previous words.
"Look at it... Say what to say, what to say... It's really unlucky! Someone squinted at Lin Manliu's voice and added in a low voice.
"Look like this... It's not like those self-righteous disciples... It can't be the wild man from the mountain village from there..."The person who spoke at the beginning answered in response, and began to look at the young man carefully.
Lin Manliu didn't have time to pay attention to the gossip of these people, so he asked the owner of the tea stall for some tea and pancakes, so he walked back to Xiao Huang, squatted next to the stump, and began to nibble on dry food.
After all the work was done, he was about to turn over and get on his horse and continue his journey, when suddenly there was some sound of horses' hooves behind him, followed by a shout: "Who is coming!" ”。
The young man looked for the sound and found that there were three horsemen rushing behind him, and on horseback, all of them were covered in armor, and they were soldiers of the hot sun!
Seeing that the man in front of the royal horse was looking at him, Lin Manliu stopped continuing to mount the horse, he knew that the person these people shouted earlier must be himself, this strange person who suddenly appeared in the Northland.
"I don't know what the three generals are talking about..."The young man asked the three of them.
"Little baby, seeing that you are still young, you have carried a sword on your side!" The soldier who was a little behind suddenly shouted.
"I used to travel through the mountains and rivers with my master... I got lost in the mountains a few days ago... I got separated from my brother... That's where it is... I hope you will forgive me..."The young man listened to the scolding, as if he was frightened, and his whole body was shocked at first, and then he explained hesitantly.
"Back to the south?" The soldier at the head spoke loudly.
"Hmm... A few days of searching... Unsuccessful... Maybe the senior brothers, they returned first..."Lin Manliu cautiously looked at the three people sitting on horseback, and responded timidly.
"Then hurry up, don't get in the way of our official business!" The soldier continued to speak, raising his arm as he spoke, waving it to the south, signaling the boy to leave the place as soon as possible.
"Thank you, generals... I'm leaving... Then he left..."After the young man finished speaking, he did not dare to turn over his horse, led his little yellow horse, and immediately walked towards the south mountain road.
Lin Manliu hadn't gone far before there was a slight sound behind him, and if others couldn't hear what he was saying, he couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Big brother... The brothers just received the news, so they hurriedly informed the two of us... Isn't this pulling something from that little baby? No matter how shabby the sword in his hand is, he can exchange it for money, and he can make a few buddies comfortable for a few days in this place where birds don't! It was the soldier at the back of the station, whispering to the man who had been at the head before.
And the leader just snorted, and then said as if he said: "I didn't see many people..."
The young man walked through the forest, how many flowers he walked, as he went deeper and deeper in the mountains and forests, the fireworks that suddenly appeared before also faded away, and he walked out of the appearance of two miles, and the red sun on the canopy began to slope westward, and in the setting sun, the shadows reflected were dragged for a long time, almost covering the trees on the side of the mountain road.
Lin Manliu arrived at the corner of a mountain road, took the reins in one hand, Xiao Huang then stopped, and took the young man to continue to give orders, the young man turned to look at the dense forest behind him, as if waiting for something... Seeing that there was no sound, and that the mountains and forests were almost silent, the young man shouted: "If you don't come out again!" I'm leaving! ”。
Before Lin Manliu could continue to look, the figure of the three horsemen appeared behind the trunk behind him, and the Yanyang soldier led by the former who shouted to Lin Manliu to leave quickly began to look at the young man with a kind of looking eyes.
"I can't see you kid, but you still have some eyesight... It doesn't seem to be a chick anymore, and the one who is on the road will hand over the valuable ones on his body and your two swords, and he can let you go back to the south! The soldier cried out.
How could a teenager who had expected this result be afraid of the threatening words of these people. Lin Manliu turned the horse's head, and while looking at the three of them, he held the reins with one hand and the mountain field around his waist with the other, looked at where the three of them were, and said loudly: "Since I can call the three big brothers out, I have thought about how to act in the future, so don't bother to talk more... If you want it, you can get it! ”。
Looking at the young man who was still submissive in front of the three of them before, now he actually looked at them with such a posture, with an eye that almost ignored the three of them, the soldier on the far left, gritted his teeth, pulled out the blade on the horse's back, and then shouted violently: "Yellow-haired child, give my life to grandpa!" ”。
Lin Manliu's side also made a move when the man drew out the blade and rushed forward with the horse, and Shan Yexing was instantly unsheathed, and then the young man patted the horse's belly with his right hand, and the whole person jumped up on the back of the little yellow horse, jumped up in the air, and waved his hand Shan Yexing rushed towards the soldier.
The blades in the hands of the two, but in a few breaths, they collided together, the young man opened the soldier's royal horse several times to collide, there are many trees in the forest here, the royal horse is tricked unless, the equestrian winner, in fact, can not increase too much winning, that is, because of this, Lin Manliu chose to let Xiao Huang retreat behind first, intending to use these trees around him to block the opponent.
Between Lin Manliu and the soldier, the other two horsemen did not make any moves, it seemed that the soldier who was the leader wanted to take this opportunity to explore the young man's reality, but he was just watching from the sidelines, and there was no sign of making a move.
With the passage of time, under the sunset, the victory or defeat of the two people who fought against each other gradually became clear, the young man who gave up the imperial horse to face the enemy, the pace and sword were still stable, and the Yanyang soldier sitting on the back of the horse was actually sweating from his forehead, and the long knife in his hand had begun to feel a little powerless with the previous swings.
After another round of sword fighting, the Yanyang soldier retreated, and as soon as he was away from the sword-wielding boy in front of him, he began to gasp, and he looked at the young man who was strolling in the forest, as if he had seen the strange spirit hidden in the mountains and forests.
Won't he get tired...
