Chapter 15: The Battle of the Bamboo Forest
The veiled woman nodded and said softly, "Just do what Li Gongzi said." ”
"Okay, in that case, let's wait and bring some food on the way, and leave immediately. Xiao Zhang, you go and change to a carriage and pick a good horse. Li Zhongmin got up and said.
"Yes, Childe. With that, he walked out.
Subsequently, Li Zhongmin and the veiled woman also went downstairs and bought some food.
After a while, Xiao Zhang walked over with a new carriage, Li Zhongmin looked at it, and as soon as he was ready, the three of them hurried on the road.
Li Zhongmin and Xiao Zhang drove the carriage, one left and one right, while the veiled woman rested inside. The carriage could have been driven alone, but Li Zhongmin was not allowed to go in, and he rested in the car with the woman, and from the time he received the task to the present, no one was allowed to enter the veiled woman's carriage. Except, of course, Lintian.
At this time, he was lying in a small donkey cart full of grass, Lintian gave the owner a little silver, saw that he was only leading a way, and happily agreed, although not as fast as the carriage, but it was much better than walking on foot.
In the spring of March, the noon sun is warm, and unconsciously, it will make people sleepy, looking at the sky in a daze, as if they are about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, a carriage passed by behind him, splashing dust, Lintian closed his eyes, waiting for the dust to dissipate, vaguely, he seemed to smell a fragrance, very familiar.
After a while, Lintian slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sky, the dust had dispersed, but the fragrance seemed to still linger on the tip of his nose, looking at the white clouds in the sky, like a thin veil, behind the veil, but unknown mystery.
Lin Tian smiled helplessly: "Alas, what am I thinking, after all, I am not a person from the same world, it should be just out of curiosity......"
This is the answer he gave himself, it may be curious about the face under the veil, it may be the quiet and serene attachment to that night, but God knows that it is just a dream of life, and he has never even asked his name, he should not have taken it to heart, and he can't help laughing at himself.
In the evening, Lintian got off the donkey cart, walked in a dark bamboo forest, by the faint moonlight, slowly walked forward, I don't know how long I walked, suddenly saw a fire in front of me, it seemed that there were many people.
"There is firelight, is it Wen Houde's person?" Lin Tian felt a little strange in his heart.
"No, now Wen Houde, I shouldn't have determined my whereabouts, it shouldn't be them, most of them are in a hurry to rest, but it's better to be careful. ”
Lin Tian thought, although he may not be a person of Wen Houde, but he still has to be cautious, he is still too small in this world, and then he decided to take a look at the past, if there is nothing unusual, he will bypass them and continue on the road.
Lintian looked in the direction of the firelight, and soon came to the grass not far away, and he quietly hid in it, and through the gap, he could clearly observe the situation over there.
At this time, there seemed to be two groups of people facing each other on the opposite side, and on one side were three people in black, and Lintian couldn't see clearly because he was behind them, with his back to him.
But when he saw the other group of people, Lin Tian was shocked, "How could it be them?"
There were two men and a woman standing opposite, among whom the woman was veiled, which was Li Zhongmin and his party who changed carriages and went to Cangzhou.
Today, they thought that they could go to Cangzhou safely, but unexpectedly, Li Zhongmin's thoughts were discovered by the 'Nine Kings and Three Evils', and all three of them came to Cangzhou to block the road. happened to arrest Li Zhongmin.
"Hehe, Master Li, don't come unharmed!" said one of the men in black.
Li Zhongmin's expression was very strict, he didn't speak, he never expected that he was already very careful, and he was still found by them.
"Why didn't Li Gongzi speak? Haha, I'll see how you run away today. ”
Li Zhongmin clenched his fists, "Hmph, the Nine Kings will only do this kind of tricks, I know what he is afraid of, people are watching the sky, and his tricks will definitely not succeed." ”
"Yo, when death is on the verge of death, you are still hard-mouthed, just your little trick, how can you escape the eyes of the Nine Kings? Sue you, before this, the Nine Kings were prepared, and they had already ordered us, if the Mountain Gorge Inn failed, we could wait for you on the Cangzhou Road, hehe, look, aren't you coming?"
"The Nine Kings are also despicable villains, even if he is in power, what if he is in power, today who does not know his ambitions, we have long known the evidence of his fornication with foreign countries, and sooner or later, he will know the taste of losing his luck. ”
"Hmph, it's just a clown who jumps off the beam, the luck of the Nine Kings is prosperous, how can a person like you understand? ”
Li Zhongmin glared fiercely, looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Hmph, where is the county lord going, you don't count, if you want to go, you have to pass my pass first!"
After speaking, he suddenly picked up the ink pen in his hand and prepared to attack the three in black.
"Hmph, I don't think you should be able to have a 'Sage Paper' now, just with you now, it is impossible for the three of us to be the opponent. ”
In fact, Li Zhongmin himself understands that he cannot be the opponent of the three of them now, but the current situation can only be hard fighting.
"You take the young lady to go first, I am here to carry it, if we arrive in Cangzhou, someone will pick us up." Li Zhongmin said to the people behind him.
"Hmph, what you think is good, none of you can leave today! Second brother, third brother, on!"
After speaking, the black-clothed three quickly surrounded Li Zhongmin and the three, forming a triangle, and at the same time, the three took out ink pens.
Lintian watched silently in the grass, feeling a little helpless.
Originally, he wanted to leave, after all, it was just a one-sided relationship, but for some reason, Lin Tian just turned around and couldn't move his steps, he knew that he was now unable to protect himself, but when he saw the veiled woman holding his own book in her hand, he finally turned back.
"Alas, why is it so unlucky, but let yourself meet again, is this fate? Forget it, I should go and ask her for my book. ”
When Lintian left, he didn't take the book, and I don't know if he deliberately forgot it, or if he really didn't plan to come back. But at this point, I can only give myself a reason.
He knew that he couldn't compete with Wen Xiu, so he could only find an opportunity to save the veiled woman.
Lintian moved slightly, little by little, towards the position of the carriage where the veiled woman was.
