Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Tiger Falls to Pingyang

150

The next day, Long Zixi bid farewell to everyone and came southeast to the south of Shenguo.

At the time of parting, Zhuo Ermei was very displeased, but with tears in her eyes, she didn't say a word to Long Zixi.

Long Zixi forced a smile on his face, and he didn't see it, but he didn't know how much melancholy he felt in his heart.

Gossip is not mentioned.

Nalongzi walked all the way along Jingshui all the way, about three or five days, and arrived at the intersection of Jingshui and Weishui as early as possible, but it was about forty or fifty miles in the northeast and northwest direction of Haojing.

Longzi stands on the shore in the west, and sees that the two waters merge into a river here, half of Jingwei, meandering eastward, but the water is turbid and the water is clear, and the end is very clear, it seems to be separated in the middle, and I can't help but sigh at the magic of nature.

I thought that the last time I passed by here was at night, and I didn't take a closer look, but who would have thought that there was such a wonderful landscape!

I also thought, if everything in this world is as clear as this, how many troubles will be saved!

I also thought that according to legend, the martial ancestor Jiang Taigong had been fishing in Weishui to wait for the destiny of heaven.

King Wen met by chance, talked about the affairs of the world with him, and suddenly felt that he hated to see each other, so he worshiped the country and achieved a great cause, which was the auspicious omen of dreaming of flying bears into his arms.

Now, there are very few masters like Taigong, and even if there is, how can there be a monarch as thirsty for talent as King Wen?

In this way, good ministers are important, but the Maven is even more crucial!

After sighing a few times, seeing that it was getting late, he made a quick trip, arrived at a town, and found an inn to rest.

Thinking that it was because he was running around for days and was a little tired, Long Zixi lay down for a short time, and he felt dazed and fell asleep.

In a trance, I seemed to have come to the riverside where I met Miss Tian for the first time.

Looking up, Miss Tian was sitting there again, but there was no.

Long Zixi took three steps and made two steps, and ran over.

Seeing that the girl did not speak, she just smiled at him.

Long Zixi wanted to speak, but he felt that his throat was tight, and he couldn't make a sound, and he was very anxious in his heart.

But seeing that Miss Tian made a move, she had already sucked Long Zixi to her side, but she actually carried him on his back and flew in the air.

Long Zixi was happy in his heart, but he felt that something was wrong, and he was about to come down after struggling, but the Tian girl was very strong, and her hand holding him became tighter and tighter.

Long Zixi was feeling strange.

Suddenly, Miss Tian let go of her hands and threw Long Zixi down the river.

With a burst of cold water, Long Zixi woke up suddenly, but it turned out to be a dream.

When I opened my eyes, I was surprised.

151

By this time it was dawn, and he was no longer in the shop, but sitting under a tree, his hands tied behind his back, and his feet tied.

When he moved, he was weak, and he was obviously pointed.

Seeing his horse tied to one side, in front of him were six men, one of whom was carrying a wooden barrel.

Looking at himself again, he was drenched from head to toe, and thought that the man had just poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

When several men saw Long Zixi wake up, one of them smiled and said:

"Boy, I saw you smiling just now, you were dreaming of marrying a wife, right?"

A few people laughed.

Long Zixi was still ignorant, and he didn't speak, and for a while he fell into a fog:

Where did they come from?

Why catch yourself?

How did you get caught?

But I heard a man say:

"The second child is also a little heavier, and he actually let this kid fall asleep for a whole night, I thought he was drugged to death by you!"

One laughed and said:

"Hehe, this kid is strong in martial arts, he fights brightly, and if there are more than one or twenty people, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything. It's also up to us to do it secretly! Don't give him more medicine, I'm afraid that he won't fall. ”

Only then did Long Zixi remember that he seemed to smell a peculiar smell before going to bed last night, but he didn't pay attention to it.

It seems that it is the smell that is causing trouble, and I can't help but regret that I was too careless.

Just as he was remorseful, a man approached, raised his foot and kicked it, and scolded:

"You stinky boy, you hurt several of our brothers last time!"

Long Zixi couldn't dodge and was kicked to the ground, but fortunately, he didn't hurt his internal organs.

I can't help but wonder in my heart, it seems that I have some holidays with these people, but I don't know where I offended them?

The man wanted to hate Jilong Zixi, and he wanted to beat him, and he said:

"Forget it, let's see what oil and water this kid has."

And the man stopped.

A few people opened Long Zixi's baggage, and saw some clothes and miscellaneous items, a few handfuls of beards, a bundle of bamboo slips, and a lot of coins, and they were overjoyed.

One muttered:

"What is this kid doing with all this beard?"

As soon as you raise your hand, you will already be blown away by the wind.

He also flipped out the letters that Miss Tian had given him several times.

Suddenly, another shouted:

"Haha, this ivory bracelet is a good thing!"

A few people gathered around to see.

After making a fuss for a while, he had already sorted the coins cleanly, but he flipped over the bamboo slips, and saw that it was a book that recorded ordinary martial arts and mental methods, so he put it aside.

While they were rummaging with their burdens, Long Zixi was secretly lucky, although he did not rush away the acupoints, he felt that the breath was quite smooth, and he knew that the martial arts of the people who dotted the acupoints were not profound.

I wanted to break the rope that bound my hand, and I used a few times, but I found that the rope was very strong, and where could I break it for a while?

Looking at the rope that binds the feet, it is obvious that it is made of cow tendons, no wonder it is so tough, so I have to remain silent, while continuing to adjust my breath, while secretly thinking of a way.

But I saw a few people put bamboo slips, ivory bracelets and some miscellaneous items back into the baggage, wrapped them, and put them aside.

Headed by a big Han Dao:

"These are a few things that we leave to our master, and they may be useful. Let's pack up and hurry up, and estimate that the prince and his party are about to arrive in Nanshenguo. ”

Long Zi Xixin said: Prince? I don't know which country is the prince?

Since these people mentioned the crown prince, I think they must be officials of some vassal state.

The "crown prince" also came to Nanshenguo, so naturally he was going to participate in the Heroes Conference.

Maybe he will have to participate in the election of a son-in-law.

One Humane:

"We have achieved this great achievement this time, and the immortals will surely rejoice."

Long Zixi heard them talk about "immortals", and his heart moved:

Immortals? Could it be the Western Regions Immortal Ma Qin?

In this way, these people are the subordinates of the immortals of the Western Regions?

It's just that how can there be Han people from the Central Plains under the hands of the immortals in the Western Regions?

Either way, it's not good to fall into his hands!

But for a while, I couldn't think about it.

A man came over and hugged Long Zixi to the horse and scolded:

"Damn, blessed boy, I have to wait for you!"

Without further ado, a few people went on the road.

Long Zixi found that these people were quite cunning, and they didn't take the main road, but only chose remote places to walk.

Heart Dao, in this way, it won't take long to break through the acupuncture path, and it is not difficult to get out, so it is better to walk with them.

Anyway, they are also going to Nanshenguo, so they won't delay my trip.

So, he pretended to have no power to resist along the way, and only secretly paid attention to the movements of these people.

152

After traveling for a long time, I passed Haojing early, and I don't know where I went.

When a few people saw that it was almost noon, they rested in a wasteland, threw Long Zixi aside, and ate and drank wine and meat.

At this time, Long Zixi was hungry early, smelled the smell of the rice, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"A few people are just stingy, let me fill my stomach under it!"

One of them turned around and scolded:

"Stinky boy, if you don't kill you, you'll be cheaper, just what it's called!"

Long Zixi tried his luck and felt that it was very smooth, it turned out that the acupuncture channel had been opened, and he knew that he was no longer in danger.

At this time, although Long Zixi's hands and feet were still tied, those people actually couldn't help him.

Long Zixi saw that those people were eating and drinking by themselves, and was about to use his means, when he suddenly saw another ride along the road.

Immediately, the man was dressed in shabby clothes, wearing a torn straw hat, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, and Long Zixi only saw a hairy beard.

The man came to him, looked at Longzixi, stopped his horse, got off his horse, and looked at the six people who were sitting.

When one of the people on the ground saw that they were coming, they could not stand it, and turned back and shouted:

"You man only cares what the birds see! If you don't come to brush Lao Tzu's beard and provoke Lao Tzu's sex, I will poke a few transparent holes in you! ”

The man was obviously angry, but he whispered:

"Huh? Lang Lang, in broad daylight, and I haven't provoked you below, how can I poke a few transparent holes below? ”

Long Zixi was quite familiar with the voice, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

But when he saw that the man who had just spoken had already jumped up:

"You thief, you dare to reply to Lao Tzu!"

The man sneered:

"Are you the king of heaven? What do you do so that you can't get back to you? ”

The man didn't say anything, and punched early.

The later man was furious and knocked over the man in a few strokes.

The few people sitting saw that the man made a good move, and they were startled, and they stood up one after another, and rushed towards the man.

The man was not afraid, and put a few people on the right, but his fists were invincible with four hands, and he gradually fell behind.

Seeing a person swinging his fist at the man, the man was difficult to dodge, Long Zixi had a miraculous feat, a carp stood up, his body jumped up, and his feet hit the door of the person's face, and the man fell on his back.

Long Zixi didn't wait for his body to fall, turned around with his strength, and knocked down the two of them with his feet again and again.

The remaining few people saw that Long Zixi's hands and feet were tied, and he was able to fly and hurt people, so they were shocked, they got up and ran, and after a while, they disappeared.

Long Zixi fell to the ground, but his hands and feet were inconvenient, and he was still lying down.

Nahan turned around and slowly lifted his straw hat.

When Long Zixi saw the man's appearance, he was so shocked that he almost screamed.

153

That person turned out to be Pei Zhen Pei Jichuan, the head of Camel Dongzhuang!

But seeing that he had a thin face, a full beard, and was staring at a pair of unpredictable eyes, looking at Long Zixi.

Long Zixi stabilized his mind, struggled to sit up, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Pei, don't come unharmed?"

Pei Zhen snorted, with a sarcastic face:

"I only say that the dragon and young man's martial arts are world-famous, and I never suffer. Unexpectedly, today the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! Ha ha! ”

Longzi West Road:

"Manager Pei, you don't have to laugh at it. Didn't you always want to kill them? Such a good opportunity, don't you do it? ”

Pei Zhen sneered again, stared at Long Zixi for a while, and suddenly took out a dagger and walked towards Long Zixi.

Long Zixi thought to himself, I can't say, if he is not good for me, I have to put him to death!

At the moment, the breath of dark luck.

But I saw Pei Zhen walking to his side, squatting down, picking up the dagger three times and picking them out, cutting the cow tendon rope early, and said:

"That's right, I, Pei Zhen, want to kill you in my dreams! However, since you have fallen to Pingyang, do you think I will be the dog that bullies the tiger? When did I, Pei Zhen, do that trick of taking advantage of people's danger? ”

Long Zixi had to move his hands and feet, jumped up early, moved his wrist, and arched his hand and said:

"Thank you for the rescue!"

Pei Zhen put away the dagger, but did not speak.

Suddenly, Pei Zhen pounced, and the five fingers of his right hand were like claws, hitting the west door of Longzi.

Long Zixi was startled, and then separated his two hands, his left hand separated Pei Zhen's right hand, and his right fist turned into a palm and slashed towards Pei Zhen's neck.

That Pei Zhen missed a blow, and with two feet in hand, he attacked again.

The two fought for less than 20 rounds, and Pei Zhen was already caught by Long Zixi's arm, pulled and pushed, and almost fell.

Long Zixi bullied forward, but he helped him.

Long Zixi smiled:

"I know that Mr. Pei is an open-minded man, but you have a hungry face, how can you be an opponent?

"There is wine and meat here, why don't we fill our stomachs first, and then have a decent competition?"

Pei Zhen looked disappointed, shook his head and said:

"Alas, I can't kill you in this life! Master Yin, when it comes to revenge, his subordinates have to do it, but they can't do it. Hugh blames me! ”

Longzi West Road:

"Why should Mr. Pei be discouraged? Anyway, we'll talk about it when we're full. ”

Pei Zhenwu shook his head, walked over, put away the wine and meat, turned around and left.

Long Zixi smiled:

"Does Mr. Pei want to swallow it alone?"

Pei Zhen snorted:

"Aren't you afraid that those people will recruit helpers and come back? If you want to drink, you have to change places first! ”

Long Zixi was ashamed in his heart, so he led the horse to follow.

154

The two of them walked for a while, and then turned into a barren meadow on the right.

The two dismounted and sat down.

The grass was taller than a man, and with the trees on the side of the road shading, it was difficult for anyone to find it.

That Pei Zhen was also extremely hungry when he thought about it, not to mention that he didn't say much, so he grabbed a piece of chicken leg and bit it.

When the wine and meat were spread, the two of them were swept away, and after a while, they ate a few pieces of meat, and only some wine was left.

Seeing the mess underground, the two looked up at each other and suddenly laughed.

laughed a few times, but Pei Zhen sighed again and straightened his face.

Longzi West Road:

"How does Mr. Pei look like this? Where are these days? ”

Pei Zhen shook his head and said:

"We broke up in Taiyuan that day, but I was thinking about Master Yin and went straight to the northwest to chase after him.

"I saw several corpses along the road, some of them were from our camel Dongzhuang, some were from Jijiazhuang, and some were unrecognizable.

Then they knew that they had gone through a fierce battle, and they became more and more worried about the master.

"Continue to track, and finally catch up with them in Dog Hill City, the capital of Xirong Country, who did you say robbed Master Yin?"

Longzi West Road:

"Could it be the Western Regions Immortal Ma Qin?"

Pei Zhen Road:

"It's this old dog!

"He is now working for the Xirong Kingdom, and he has been named a protector.

"That day, our camels Dongzhuang, Taiyuan Jigang, and the immortals of the Western Regions, the three roads were in a mess, but they restrained each other, and they all injured a lot of people, and no one got a bargain."

Speaking of this, Pei Zhen took a sip of wine.

Longzi West Road:

"So, has Yin Jifu been rescued?"

Pei Zhen shook his head:

"I don't know where they hid the master, but where did they find it?

Later, when Naji saw that he couldn't get any benefits, he went back to Taiyuan.

"There are few of us, and Young Master Yin also has the intention of retreating, so he decided to come back and get the sword book and use it in exchange for the master.

But he was unwilling, and he stayed alone to continue to find the whereabouts of the master.

"In the past few days, I learned that the immortals of the Western Regions and the prince of Xirong Kingdom led several groups of people and horses to the east one after another, so I followed along the road, but I had already spent all the money I brought, so as not to do some stealing and stealing things, but I didn't expect to meet you here.

"By the way, how could Shaoxia fall into their hands?"

Long Zixi explained the situation again. Road:

"Needless to say, these people must have been the subordinates of the Western Regions Immortals just now."

Pei Zhen nodded:

"It's them. This time, they are not small, but they have to be careful. ”

Long Zixi suddenly remembered:

"Why do the immortals of the Western Regions also have the Han people of the Central Plains? I'm just talking about Rong people. ”

Pei Zhen Road:

"What's so strange about that? They came to the Central Plains, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, but also for convenience, so they naturally recruited a group of Han warriors. It's just that when they do important things, they all use them to fight people. ”

Long Zixi nodded and asked:

"Does Chief Pei know what they are doing in Nanshen Kingdom?"

Pei Zhen shook his head:

"I don't know. On the surface, he participated in the hero gathering convened by Shen Hou, and I heard that the prince admired Princess Shen Hou very much, and it is estimated that he will also participate in the selection of a son-in-law. But there may be a bigger conspiracy. ”

Long Zixi thought to himself, eighty percent of the "Taigong Art of War" was also robbed by them, what else could there be?

Let's see how they move next.

Thinking of this, I asked:

"So, what is Manager Pei's next step?"

Pei Zhen Road:

"Do you need to ask? Naturally, we will continue to track it down. If you don't find the master, you won't give up! ”

Long Zixi saw that he had a dusty face, his face was as thin as a savior, and it was really rare to think of him being loyal to the Savior, and he sighed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

That Pei Zhen divided the remaining wine bag into two, one was stuffed into Long Zixi's hand, and the other was raised by himself, and said:

"Long Shaoxia, you saved me twice, I saved you once today, and I still owe you once.

"As I said last time, I have clear grievances, and if I repay your kindness, I still have to settle accounts with you!"

Long Zixi also lifted the wine bag:

"Good! I admire Mr. Pei's personality!

"If we do this wine, you will no longer owe any affection, and you will find revenge in the future!"

Pei Zhen shouted "happy", and raised his neck to dry the wine.

Long Zixi also dried up the wine.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both felt complicated in their hearts, and they were speechless for a while.

After a while, suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves on the road.

The two peeked in, but thirty or forty horses were hurrying along the road, and several people who caught Long Zixi were also among them.

Long Zixi knew that as Pei Zhen expected, it was really those people who came to find help.

glanced at Pei Zhen at the moment, and couldn't help but admire Pei Zhen again.

When those people walked away, the two got up, and Pei Zhen said goodbye and went first.

Long Zixi opened the burden and wanted to find the beard, but he couldn't turn it over, only to remember that he had been thrown away by those people just now, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

I told myself that I had to be very careful in the future, and I got on my horse and continued to move forward.
