Chapter 44: Where to go
Chapter 44: Where to go
Qu Gao took the eight generals of Xiangtian to gallop into Jiangling City, leaving Zhong Lijun and a team of light horsemen to protect Qu Qinghua. Jin Chao and Zhong Lijun have not seen each other for many years, so they can't help but talk about what they have encountered in recent years, and when they learned that the two were chased and killed all the way to Jiangling City, Zhong Lijun immediately slapped his horse and said angrily: "Xishu is so bold!" When my uncle takes Jiangling City, I will ask His Majesty Emperor Xiang for an order, send troops to Shu, and then take Yuzhou! ”
Jin Chao thought that Sang Yu, the Chixiao Sword Master of Chishui in Yuzhou, was also a master of sword path breaking realm, and with him, he was afraid that even if Qu Gao went in person, the two of them would be in the same realm, and the outcome would be unpredictable. Jin Chao said: "Big brother, this feud is a grudge between the rivers and lakes, and our rivers and lakes are over, so we don't have to involve the national war between Xiangshu and Shu." ”
Zhong Lijun said what he said in annoyance, and now he also felt that it was inappropriate, but when he saw his former brother suffering from this, he couldn't bear it, so he opened his mouth and invited: "Ah Chao, you can go back to Xiangguo with me, I am also the general of Kaifu now, and I can protect you!" ”
Jin Chao looked at Tang Anning and asked for her opinion.
When the two decided to help Qu Qinghua today, they had already planned not to stay in Jiangling anymore, but they hadn't thought about where to go in the future. At this time, the Jin Dynasty was able to see the old man, Tang Anning and Qu Qinghua met late, and Xiangguo was a good place to go. Tang Anning didn't think much about it and nodded.
"No, you can't!" Jin Chao was about to open his mouth, when suddenly behind a stone pier not far away, a rough female voice came.
"What people!" Zhong Lijun took two steps forward, pointed his spear, two light horsemen leaned out, one left and one right, and the rest of the cavalry stood in each direction to protect a few people.
A tight-fitting girl jumped out from behind the stone pier, with a three-foot long sword pinned to her waist, and she spoke first: "This general, I have no malicious intent, you don't have to be so nervous." Seeing that Zhong Lijun still hadn't let down her vigilance, the girl raised her voice and shouted: "There are so many of you, I definitely can't beat it, why are you guarding me like this!" As he spoke, he untied the long sword at his waist and threw it over, and said unhappily: "Is this okay?" ”
Seeing that she took the initiative to disarm, Zhong Lijun put away his spear and asked, "Who are you?" What is the intention of eavesdropping on our conversation here? ”
The girl strode in front of a few people, saw Zhong Lijun protecting Qu Qinghua tightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not here for your lord, I'm here for these two." As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, one pointing at Jin Chao and the other at Tang Anning.
Jin Chao and Tang Anning were puzzled, neither of them had ever seen this woman, what did this woman do to them? Jin Chao opened his mouth and asked, "You said you came for us?" ”
"That's right!" The girl asked, "Your name is Jin Chao, and your father's name is Jin Ge?" Jin Chao nodded, and the girl turned to ask again: "You are Tang Anning, and your father is Gao Cicada?" Tang Anning didn't know why, but also nodded.
"That's right!" Seeing that the two of them looked dazed, the girl said: "I am a disciple of Qingchen Mountain of Wu Kingdom, my name is Liu Ranyue, a few months ago, my second highness of Wu Kingdom was entrusted by Shui Yanhe, the lord of Bishui City, to find the sons of two old people, which are the two of you." ”
"Shui Yan He!" Jin Chao and Tang Anning exclaimed this name almost at the same time, Gao Chan's last breath before his death was to tell the two to find Shui Yanhe, the lord of Bishui City, he and Gao Chan are siblings, and Jin Ge also has the righteousness of Jin Lan, and in the world, he can be regarded as the closest elder of the two.
"You've never seen Brother Jin and Sister Tang, how did you come here?" Qu Qinghua asked.
Liu Ranyue unfolded an embarrassed smile and replied: "Lord Qinghua, tonight the old lady of the Zhou family has a heavy reward for you, I also wanted to go to the restaurant to have a good time, but when I saw that your guards were too strong, I didn't go up." I was going to go back to sleep, but when I heard that the Jin Dynasty brothers reported their home, I didn't come in vain. At that time, the Li people were present, and I saw you riding out of the city, so I had to follow all the way, and when I saw that there were many of you, I only dared to hide aside. ”
Regarding Liu Ranyue's statement, the Jin Dynasty and Tang Anning did not have any doubts, because since the burning of Bishui City, Gao Chan was in the Tang Gate and rarely mentioned the old things, and even the Jin Dynasty and Tang Anning did not know much about the past of Bishui City. In the past ten years, no half of the news in Bishui City has been circulated in the world, and it has been forgotten by the rivers and lakes, and Liu Ranyue can know it, and it is definitely not a lie.
"An Ning, do you want to go to the city lord?" Jin Chaofang recognized his brother, and got the information that his father's former brother had been looking for him, and he didn't know how to choose for a while, so he asked Tang Anning's opinion first.
Tang Anning thought for a long time before nodding heavily and saying, "Go!" ”
