Chapter 22: Fist of the Red Heart to the Treasure Capital (1)
Let's say that Wu Gang took the mirror, and accidentally found the record of the bloody killing qi on the Seven Heavens Goose Sword that made him puzzled, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He saw that the small mirror was engraved with two words on the reverse side of the winding - Lijian, and knew that it was not a mortal thing, so he put it in his pocket and put it away.
Although Deng Fan didn't know what was going on, but seeing his solemn expression, it was obviously not regret because the genuine product was replaced by an evil thing, but he encountered a new problem, and he didn't dare to disturb him at the moment, seeing that he had thought about it for an hour, he stood up, knowing that he must have made a decision, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lord Shilang, let's go out?"
The two of them walked out of the gloomy stone hall, and found the black spirit tiger in the canyon outside, Wu Gang whispered something in its ear, and when the two of them were seated, the black tiger took a big stride and chose the path by itself, but it was the same way to return.
Out of the stone city, across the prairie, through the misty mountains, nothing happened along the way, and there is no need to recount, ten days later to Raozhou in the east, Deng Fan said: "It turns out that the horse master is going to see my father, I don't know what his plans are?"
As soon as Wu Gang entered Raozhou, he felt that the people here were stable and resting, the sergeants were dutiful, and the checkpoints were very strict.
Raozhou geographical location is special, cross the plain to the Haihe River, turn over the Wulun Mountain to the Tianyang country, is a fortress place, and the Tiger Leaping Gorge in the north and the late wheat field in the west, belong to the east and west of the three major gates of the Central Continent country, Raozhou's control is not self-unified, it is very easy to lose, Raozhou is lost, it is equivalent to the loss of one-third of the Central Continent country, its importance can be seen.
In the evening, when they arrived at the city gate, the city guards saw that the eldest prince had returned. Hurriedly open the city gate and put it in. Deng Fan took Wu Gang to see his father Deng Daotong.
Night. Deng Daotong set up a banquet to entertain Wu Gang. The two of them worked hard and hungry along the way, needless to say, let go of their stomachs and feasted, but Wu Gang was unusual, and only drank a little wine and gave up.
After the meal, Deng Daotong introduced him into the inner room for tea, and Deng Fan was also on the side. Wu Gang said: "Lord Deng, Wu Gang has a request. ”
Deng Daotong said with a smile: "Master Ma is righteous and Bo Yuntian, and this time he loves the child very much." The old minister really has no teeth to forget, why do you use kind words for your own family?"
Wu Gang said: "Lord Deng, where is this, your son has long been a famous general, a great hero, why do you need my junior to take care of it? The danger is the worst. ”
Deng Daotong touched his beard and said, "Not bad." This second dangerous place. Is it my lord?"
"What Lord Deng said is that now the east is agitating with all forces, and they are about to move, we have an alliance with Tianyang, and the Wulun side does not need to take care of too much for the time being, I want to ask your Excellency to pay attention to the Haihe River. After Wu Gang finished speaking, he told him about the trip to the prince of the Celestial Dynasty this time, as well as the information about the activities of the demons in the east, Deng Fan echoed on the side, of course, the 20,000 demon soldiers who were sawing on the Haihe River, Deng Daotong had already known about it, and he had already calculated this request from Wu Gang.
His eyes were shining, and he said: "Master Ma, don't worry, since I heard that there are a large number of demon soldiers on the Haihe River, I have sent people to cut down trees and build more warships, as long as the demons dare to attack, not to mention that they will not return, they must reject the enemy on the Haihe River, and never let them invade an inch of my Raozhou." ”
Wu Gang admired in his heart: "This Deng Daotong commission is really not simple, but everything I think of, let him think of it first, what else is there to worry about in this matter." ”
Wu Gang said: "Thank you so much for Old Deng." ”
Deng Daotong said with a smile: "My Deng family is thanks to the persuasion of the master in Lingzhou, and it is also to save me Deng Daotong, I should thank you and Her Royal Highness the princess in advance." ”
Wu Gang also smiled: "If you are polite, we will keep it for later." I may have another trip to the East this time, and I would like to borrow your boat by the Haihe River, but please do not hesitate to use it. ”
Deng Daotong is such a smart person, he immediately responded: "Don't say one, a hundred is no problem." At that moment, he gave Wu Gang a token, and with this card, he could requisition ships at any time, and the size was chosen by him.
Wu Gang thanked him, and immediately sent a letter to his beloved wife Wei Jian, in which he said that the demon man had a change in the east, and the Celestial Empire would have something to do soon. In the book, he said a lot of longing, and told her to rest assured that she would be fine.
After writing it, he asked Deng Fan to send this secret letter to the princess in Zhongzhou City, Deng Fan said happily: "Lord Wu misses the princess, why don't you go home in person? ”
Wu Gang smiled: "That's not imaginable, I have something important to do, I and the princess have been coming for a long time, and I see that my son is a dignified person, so I don't have to worry about her." ”
After saying that, everyone went to bed, Deng Fan got up early the next morning, led the fast horse, and went to the road outside the city, and crossed the road to the west on the post road, his own fast horse followed him for several years, this time he was lost in the prairie, and he hated it for several days, and this time he had to ride another horse.
As soon as he got on the post road, he suddenly saw Wu Gang standing beside the Black Spirit Tiger, majestic as an iron tower on the edge of the post road.
He dismounted, and asked, "Lord Squire, do you really want to go back in person?" As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it over.
Wu Gang shook his head, came up and gave a salute: "Brother Deng, there is a word, please bring it to my uncle Gao Gu, this matter can't be known to anyone, is it okay?"
He didn't know why Wu Gang was so solemn for a sentence, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Okay, I will definitely help you do it, you can say it." ”
Wu Gang said: "The Celestial Empire will meet." ”
Deng Fan said: "It's gone?"
Wu Gang said: "Yes, remember!"
Deng Fan said: "Don't worry, I will do it." ”
The two said goodbye to each other, since the Northern Alliance met, the two finally separated at this time, both of them were a little reluctant, and looked at each other again, and then they got on their mounts and went their separate ways.
Deng Fan was puzzled in his heart: "Brother Wu seems to be going to the Celestial Empire, and wants to make an appointment with the 'Four Tigers of Haihe', the Four Tigers have always been in important positions in my Central Continent since the opening of the 'Guardian Emperor Era', and the Wu brothers are horses, they are all from the Celestial Empire, and now they want to return to the Celestial Empire to save the country, but they dare not make a noise, only to go back quietly, but their own feelings of serving the country, their wish I must help them achieve it." It's just that Brother Wu did this without telling his wife, which seems a little unreasonable. Alas, no matter what, Brother Wu is a sincere and trustworthy person, and a person of great love, his message is delivered by me, and he will never do anything to be sorry for my Middle Continent. While thinking in his heart, he urged the horse forward, and after a while, he was already far away from Raozhou City.
As soon as Wu got on the Black Spirit Tiger, he plunged into the Wulun Mountains, walked for two days, discerned the direction clearly, and continued to move forward, at first there were still some villages, and then only occasionally saw some small families. On the tenth day, he suddenly saw a fire in front of him, and it was estimated that it was the robbers in the mountains who were doing the work of robbing houses and houses, and he couldn't help but take care of it when he thought of this. He went in that direction, and when he finally arrived there after half a day, he found a small village of a dozen families, all the houses had been burned down, but there were no people left. I thought to myself: "These robbers are becoming more and more rampant, don't teach me to touch my hands, and even the lair will be served to you." ”
He looked around, but found no footprints of people, horses, and livestock, and the robbers and those who were robbed seemed to have come out of thin air, and they left out of thin air, and there was not even a shadow, and there was no evidence.
Because he had something to do, he got on the tiger and continued to move forward. On this day, when I arrived in the depths of Wulun Mountain, I suddenly heard the cry of a wolf, and thought, "There are fierce beasts rampant here, I have to be careful." ”
On the second day, I arrived at the entrance of a mine, walked up a path, turned a corner, and two thatched huts appeared in front of me, near one was the residence of my aunt Mrs. Song and Wei Jian, and the other was the residence of Gao Gu and Xiao Mu, who had already taken refuge here. The shadow of Wei Jian suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he thought of her elegant and exquisite face, lovesickness arose, and he was stunned, so he couldn't control it anymore, and wanted to fly to Wei Jian's side and accompany her to live a rich and idle life in the Qingxin Palace.
The more he thought about it, the more he turned a blind eye to what was happening in front of him. Suddenly four black-armored men came out of the hut, and they drew their knives and slashed at him with great speed.
He felt a flash of light in front of him, and he could already see that the four autumn spike knives were slashed by the bright and shiny, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Demon soldiers." Eagerly, he stretched out his palms and pushed them out. The true qi of his whole body has long been able to receive it at any time, and at this critical moment, naturally he doesn't have to think about it, the power of the fire soul immediately went up to his arms, and then to his palms, and spewed out, how majestic the power of this palm is, the palm wind is everywhere, and it swept the four black-armored people upside down and flew out, falling to the ground motionless. He pulled out the Zhizen knife and walked over, wanting to pick up the scarves of these people to see their faces, and suddenly four monsters flew out of the hut, howling and rushing towards him, it was four wolf-headed eagles, the black spirit tiger whined and let go, the four wolf-headed eagles saw the great power of the black spirit, flapped their wings and turned around and flew to the sky.
Wu Gang lifted their face scarves, revealing the hideous face of the demon, and then he realized why no one was missing from the village that was destroyed on the road a few days ago? Why is there not even a trace around the village? It turned out that these demon warriors who flew wolves in the air did it, and they must have used all the people in the village to make food for themselves and the flying wolves.
He walked into the hut, and sure enough, when he saw the corpses of half of the people on the table, he felt sick and turned around and walked out of the hut. (To be continued......)
