Chapter 49
Miao Ci was awakened, hurriedly got up and came over, saw Li Yuan's eyes were red, and his pale face was covered with sweat and tears, and asked uneasily: "Li Jushi, what's wrong with you?" β
Li Yuan looked at the wonderful words steadily, sometimes blank in his mind, sometimes chaotic, beauty and ugliness flashing alternately in front of his eyes, good and evil in his chest one after another.
He suddenly jumped to the ground, let out a muffled grunt in his nostrils, picked up the strange word by the waist, walked over and threw it on the bed, and began to untie his clothes.
Li Yuan slept grogily, woke up in the middle of the morning, a bright ray of sunlight cast on his face, he blocked it with his hand, sat up, saw that Miao Ci was already neatly dressed, and was wiping the table, chair and bench with a cloth.
He lifted the quilt and saw a beautiful red plum blooming on a piece of white cloth, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and felt his heart hot, and exclaimed softly: "Wonderful words!" β
Miao Ci stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at him, his face shy, pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything.
After a few knocks on the door, Tang Qi walked in and said, "Virtuous nephew, Village Chief Gu is back, and he has sent someone to invite you over." β
Seeing his uncle, Li Yuan was a little embarrassed, Tang Qi smiled meaningfully, turned around and went out.
Li Yuan hurriedly dressed and followed, and when he walked to the door, he glanced back at Miaoci and said, "I'm leaving." β
Magic Ci nodded slightly.
The two soon arrived at the Gu Mansion, and were introduced into the guest hall by the doorman, everyone arrived, and after seeing each other one by one, Ren Zifei wanted to communicate with Tang Qi about the security of the Immortal Station, but he felt that it was not the time, and Li Yuan was also present, so he couldn't be too abrupt.
Gu Yifang came back last night, and he brought back news that Qiu Liu's descendants had a whereabouts.
Gu Yifang said: "Two years ago, there was a Taoist priest who came to the Shenxian Station, because he lived in the Bad House, I talked with him a few words, and listened to him say that there is a strange wood mountain south of Middle Earth, and a Tianmu Tower is being built on the mountain, and it is said that the leading technician who built the tower is surnamed Qiu, and it should be the descendant of Qiu Liu. β
He was taken aback and asked, "But one of the six evil sects, Strange Wood Mountain?" β
Gu Fang said: "Exactly, they are catching strong men everywhere, and if the Taoist priest doesn't run fast, he will also be arrested." β
Several people gasped.
He looked at it and said: "Although Strange Wood Mountain is relatively weak in the Demon Dao, it is also a big faction, and its strength cannot be underestimated, with the six of us, it is impossible to succeed, it is better for us to go back to Magpie Mountain first, and it is not too late to ask the leader of the Jade Smoke Alliance to make plans." β
Yan Mo snorted and said, "Let him be the tiger's den in Longtan, he always has to break through to know the depths, what are you afraid of, but just die!" β
Zhici said: "Lord Yan is very right, from now on a detour to Magpie Mountain, and then go to Strange Wood Mountain, you will have to add more than 20 days of travel, this matter should not be delayed." β
Li Yuan said: "Exactly, the master sent us down the mountain just to find the construction plan of the Immortal Station, and now that we finally have some eyebrows, how can we go back and tell the old man that we can't do this?" The six of us, who are also the elite of the righteous path disciples, if we are frightened by a weak strange wood mountain, how will we take on great responsibilities in the future? β
Pu Chaoying said: "But Senior Brother He's concerns are also right, it's better to be careful in everything." β
He Suowang said: "Since everyone said so, then let's set off immediately, not because I'm afraid of death, but because I'm afraid of falling into the devil's tricks." I have personally experienced the battle in the Xisha Desert, and I know that people in the Demon Dao have always been good at using tricks, and the six of us have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders, and we are in danger, so we have to guard against it. β
Yan Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "I have also experienced that battle, but I have never been scared of it. β
He Suowang smiled and said: "Senior Sister Yan, you are the leader, everything is based on you!" β
He glanced at Ren Zifei, and said: "I have a strategy for both, we might as well divide the soldiers into two ways, Ren Alliance's flying skills are unparalleled in the world, he returned to Magpie Mountain alone to deliver a message, and the five of us went straight to Weimu Mountain." β
Ren Zifei was embarrassed and said: "You don't have to treat me as a burden, if I can fight, I will fight, if I can't, I will escape, you must know that my escape skills are first-class, even if you can't escape, you will die, and you will never drag everyone back, you don't have to worry about not being able to explain to the teachers, my life is mine, you don't need to explain to anyone." β
Yan Mo said: "I said on Magpie Mountain that I will guarantee the safety of the leader of the alliance with my life!" β
said that her face was slightly red, she almost killed him yesterday, and now she swore that she would protect him, which is really ridiculous.
glanced at Ren Zifei and lowered his head.
He looked forward and said, "Then don't say much, let's go." β
Turning to Gu Fang, he said, "I also have to trouble Village Chief Gu to prepare some dry food and drinking water for us, it is easy to use on the road." β
Gu Fang said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to do it." β
Call the housekeeper Gu Fu and go to prepare.
Ren Zifei coughed dryly twice, and was about to speak to Tang Qi, when the doorman came to report: "The people from the Guard Mansion came to invite Lord Tang, saying that they have something important to discuss!" β
Tang Qi immediately took his leave.
β»β»β»β»β»
Tang Qi followed the doorman out of the Gu Mansion, saw the men waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
The subordinate said: "There is a group of strangers, there are as many as 200 people, and it is less than a mile away, how to deal with it?" β
Tang Qi pondered for a moment, and said ruthlessly: "Purge the team, all of them attack!" β
The subordinate said with a little worry: "Isn't it convenient for those six people to be here now?" β
Tang Qi said: "What's inconvenient? I just want them to know that the fairy post is still up to me! β
Not long after, seventy or eighty guards from the Guard Mansion gathered at the entrance of the village, all of them were extremely strong, dressed in black, with fast knives hanging from their waists and long swords on their backs, and ran into the distance with Tang Qi.
When the people on the street saw it, some shook their heads and sighed, but some came to the spirit and followed to see the excitement.
On a road along the mountain in the west of the village, I saw a group of people from a distance, loose and scattered, staggering from side to side, and when they came to the near place, it could be seen that those people were all yellow and thin, ragged clothes, carrying luggage, dragging families with mouths, men, women and children, it turned out to be people from other towns who had fled.
Tang Qi waved his hand, and seventy or eighty guards met him, lined up, and stopped in front of the group of refugees.
The group of refugees followed, looking at the guards with fear and bewilderment.
Tang Qi said: "Are you going to the Immortal Station?" β
An old man standing at the front said, "Exactly, what are you?" β
One of Tang Qi's subordinates pointed at Tang Qi and said, "This is Lord Tang, the chief of the Immortal Station!" β
The old man shouted "disrespectful" and turned back to the refugees and said, "Villagers, hurry up and meet Lord Tang!" β
The refugees knelt on the ground in an uproar and shouted unevenly, "Meet Lord Tang!" β
The old man said to Tang Qi: "Ahem, we are the people of Middle Earth, because we can't bear the oppression of people in the Demon Dao, ahem, I heard that the East China Sea Immortal Post is peaceful and peaceful, so we came to vote, more than 3,000 people left, and less than 300 people here, and I hope that Lord Tang will be compatible." β
Tang Qi looked at this group of kneeling refugees condescendingly, enjoying it in his heart, but said arrogantly: "We have taken in a lot of strangers like you before, giving you a house to live in, giving you food, who wants to fatten you up, but you deceive me The people of the Immortal Post are weak, and they will take revenge, run rampant, and bring disaster to the township, but now they can't tolerate you!" β
The old man said: "Please have mercy on Lord Tang, we have nowhere to go, if you don't take us in, we will only have a dead end." β
Tang Qi said: "God has the virtue of a good life, if you are all driven away, it is really unbearable, but if you are all taken in, the small land is afraid that it will not be able to accommodate it, so let's choose some people to stay, and the rest will be at their own disposal." β
The refugees looked at each other, but they didn't expect to come here thousands of miles away, and the companions were gone, and the rest of the people couldn't all be taken in, but where did they teach us to go?
Even though he scrambled to say that he wanted to stay, some said: "Lord Tang, leave our family, my family is old and young, and I really can't survive." β
Some said: "Lord Tang, leave me, I'm a lonely person, my body is okay, it's okay to do some hard work!" β
Tang Qi coughed a few times, stopped everyone's shouting, and said, "I'll choose!" β
Walking back and forth among the refugees with his hands behind his back, he pointed with his finger from time to time and said, "Youβstay!" β
Those who were ordered ran out of the crowd and stood aside.
A dozen or so young women with good looks were selected in a row.
Tang Qi walked to the front and said, "That's all, let's go!" β
A thin man in the group of refugees led a little boy to stand up and said, "Master Tang, since you have left my wife, you can even take in my father and son!" β
Among the selected women, a woman came over, knelt in front of Tang Qi, and said, "Lord Wanwang's grace!" β
The little boy cried, "Mother, I want Mother!" β
He wanted to run over, but was pulled by his father.
The family looked at Tang Qi pitifully.
Tang Qi said coldly: "My Immortal Post has limited properties, and I can't feed so many people, if I leave you all behind, we will starve to death!" β
The woman said: "Even so, I won't stay, we are a family, life and death together, and we will not be separated!" β
As he spoke, he stood up and was about to return to his husband and son, when two guards flashed forward, one on each side, put his arms on his shoulder, and dragged him back.
The woman cried and screamed, but it was completely useless.
The little boy pounced on him and shouted, "I want my mother, give me back!" β
He was slashed to the ground by a guard.
The man screamed, "I'm fighting with you!" β
rushed up and was also stabbed to death by a sword from the guard.
The dozen or so selected women panicked and ran towards the refugee crowd crying, but were stopped and surrounded by the guards.
There was a great confusion among the refugees, and shouts erupted.
Someone shouted: "We were cornered by the devil's way, I thought that the fairy post was the land of the gods, and everyone was merciful, but I didn't expect them to be more devilish than the devil's way, and if they didn't take us in, they would just rob our wives and daughters, and they would die, so it was better to fight with them!" β
The responders are numerous.
In addition to their luggage and belongings, the refugees also carried some tools, hoes, scythes, etc., for self-defense, and they all took them out and rushed to the guards.
