Chapter Ninety-Five: Attack on the Road
The Martial King Hall changed dramatically in the middle of the night, and it was a mess from top to bottom.
Gu Shengchao took the opportunity to carry the corpse outside, secretly hid in the grass, and quietly left without knowing it.
He returned to the inn, and the rooster began to sing.
"I'm so worried about why you came back at this time." Liu Ximei threw herself into his arms, tears in her eyes.
Gu Shengchao stroked her face and said softly, "You've been waiting for me?" ”
"But no, how can I sleep if you don't come back, my sister and Yao'er are next door, what if the gangsters and helpers come to sneak attack, I can only hold on to it." Liu Ximei's pitiful appearance is distressing.
"Okay, now it's safe to sleep!" Gu Shengchao comforted her.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms, and were awakened by a knock on the door in the fog.
"Here we are." Gu Shengchao looked over to watch the door with sleepy eyes.
It was already dawn, and a ray of sunlight was shining on the lintel.
Looking at their tired and haggard appearance, Wan Ruo was slightly stunned by Liu Ximei's words: "You, I don't know if I feel sorry for our husband, even if he is young, he can't afford you to toss like this, what should I do if I am tired?" ”
Liu Ximei said aggrievedly: "Sister misunderstood, someone used incense to plot against us last night, he chased him out all night and didn't return, I'm worried that there are other gangsters who don't dare to sleep, so they just lay down." ”
She picked up the incense stick from the table and handed it to Wan Ruo: "Sister, I won't make this thing and keep it, so that I can use it in the future." ”
Wan Ruo realized that it seemed that he had misunderstood.
Gu Shengchao said speechlessly: "Yes, you are just too anxious, and you come to Xingshi to ask for guilt without asking, and people are worried that there is a situation over there There is a situation over there and you have kept watch all night, which is very hard." ”
He told the two of them about the incident in the Wuwang Palace last night, and finally yawned and said: "The two of us haven't slept all night, and you still don't let us rest, and you accuse us when you come in, it's really difficult for good people to do." ”
Only then did he understand that the two of them were really wrong, Wan Ruo stepped forward and hugged Liu Ximei and comforted: "It's my sister, it's not right, you make up for it now, I should be on duty for you, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu come, I won't let them come over to disturb you." ”
With that, she closed the door and went out.
Gu Shengchao plugged in the door bolt, handed back the "Iron Arm Divine Skill" on the table to Liu Ximei and said: "I have finished reading this book, so you should take it in, in case you can find anything." ”
Liu Ximei took the book and hesitated: "Can we really rest?" ”
"No problem, you can sleep in peace." Gu Shengchao took off his coat and lay down on the bed, Liu Ximei left his close-fitting clothes, and the two hugged each other and slept together.
Thinking of something, Gu Shengchao asked in a low voice, "Since you can help me heal my injuries now, have you also broken through the Tribulation Realm?" ”
Liu Ximei nodded, and grabbed Gu Shengchao's neck: "I accepted Yao'er, a child, and I was in a happy mood, and when I practiced once, I felt like something was about to pour out of my dantian, so I took advantage of the situation, and as a result, I really survived this catastrophe safely, and also entered the Mahayana realm." ”
"In this way, the tribulation needs to be done naturally, and it cannot be forced." Thinking of helping Liu Ximei forcibly cross the boat in the lake that day, Gu Shengchao was also afraid when he thought about it.
The two of them were grinding their ears and temples, and Liu Ximei couldn't help but send a fragrant kiss: "I'm tired all night, hurry up and sleep, I will have time to ponder these in the future." ”
It was indeed sleepy, and after a short time the two fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took.
"Mother, mother." Someone knocked on the door, screaming softly.
Liu Ximei heard that the voice was Wei Chi Yao, and asked, "Is it Yao'er, what time is it now?" ”
"It's noon, Sister Wan asked me to come over and ask if you want to eat." Yu Chiyao said in a low voice.
"Here it is." Liu Ximei got up and got dressed.
Gu Shengchao stretched his waist and got up to clean up.
The door opened, and Yu Chiyao brought Liu Ximei face wash and waited for her to freshen up. Gu Shengchao saw that he didn't have his share, so he went to the yard to wash up.
"Where's your sister Wan?" Gu Shengchao returned to the room and listened to Liu Ximei ask Yu Chi Yao.
Wei Chiyao said with a smile: "Sister Wan misunderstood you, and I was afraid that my mother would be angry, so she asked me to come over to inquire about the situation." ”
"My sister is also multi-hearted." Liu Ximei led Wei Chi Yao to find Wan Ruo, Wan Ruo was relieved to see her look as usual, and the four of them happily ate and rode forward, laughing all the way to the capital.
Liu Ximei bought a yard in the capital, and a few people lived and rested first.
The courtyard is two in front and back, and the main house has three ear rooms and two rooms, which makes the courtyard spacious and bright, which makes people feel comfortable.
The three women were a little tired, so they went to sleep and rested first, and Gu Shengchao returned to the yamen to resume his life.
Seeing that Gu Shengchao returned safely, Jin Anchun was also happy, and said: "Gao Yuanwai and Cai Ji have been escorted to Dali Temple for trial, what should we do next?" ”
"I should prepare more for the drum car, and it should be smoother in the future, and a large number of personnel should be recruited." Gu Shengchao arranged it and let Jin Anchun plan it.
It was still early, Gu Shengchao went to find Fan Lixin, and he was overjoyed: "The emperor was still talking to you yesterday, and I was about to enter the palace to face the saint and just go over together." ”
When the two saw the emperor, Gu Shengchao told the truth about the changes in the Wuwang Palace last night.
The emperor muttered: "No wonder I just received the obituary from the Wuwang Palace, saying that the head of the family suddenly had a vicious illness, so that's the case, I asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the past to mourn." After all, they are the same sect, and they can't be lazy in terms of etiquette. ”
"Gu Aiqing is going to Beihu in a while, so let's prepare in advance." The Emperor looked at Gu Shengchao with a smile.
"But I haven't done it yet, I'm afraid it's going to be delayed for a few days." Gu Shengchao was worried that someone would make trouble when surveying the cultivated fields, which would affect the progress.
"Don't get in the way, the envoy to Beihu is preparing, and when your side stabilizes, this side can just be connected." After the emperor finished speaking, he issued two holy decrees one after another, which were used to commend Gu Shengchao for his help.
One is to open a perfume shop by order, and the emperor knew that they had a perfume shop in Lu Chuan, so he made a decree to allow them to open a perfume shop anywhere in the Dawu Dynasty, without paying taxes, and local officials had no right to govern.
The other is that the dynasty started from the current Emperor Taishang, and after his death, all the coffins of the Valley of the Four Kings were used. In this way, the coffins of the Four Kings Valley are strange goods to live in, and naturally the supply exceeds the demand, and the income will soon double.
After receiving the order, Gu Shengchao excitedly returned to Liu Ximei's residence.
The holy decree of the perfume line was handed over to Liu Ximei for safekeeping, and the holy decree of the Valley of the Four Kings was given to Wan Ruo.
Wan Ruo is both happy and scared.
Happily, business in the Valley of the Four Kings is thriving, and the people are living more prosperous. The panic was that the Emperor Taishang was fed with chronic poison by the old eunuch Wen Zhe, and he was already terminally ill, and he would not wake up at any time, and the coffin that needed to be used could not be delayed.
Wan Ruo immediately decided to bring the holy decree and immediately returned to the Valley of the Four Kings to prepare.
Liu Ximei prepared the silver for her to carry with her, and all the horses were also given to her to ride in rotation to save horsepower.
"Here's for you." Wan Ruo returned the Phoenix Dance Sword to Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao was puzzled: "Isn't it better for you to carry self-defense on the road." ”
"I don't want other people's things, the strong are self-reliant, ordinary blades can also become divine weapons, I found that the Five Soul Array is extremely powerful, enough for me to use." If you turn over and get on the horse.
Wan Ruo settled and said: "Sister Liu, don't go anywhere in the near future, I will send someone to contact you when I get to the Valley of the Four Kings, others can't believe it, so I have to trouble you to come to transfer contact." ”
"Sister, don't worry, I'm waiting for your letter at home, take care on the way." Liu Xi frowned and waved his hand.
Looking at Gu Shengchao, if there are all kinds of tenderness and a full stomach to say, she is reluctant to say goodbye, she finally pointed at Gu Shengchao with a horsewhip, and said to Liu Ximei: "Sister Lao took care of this little rabbit cub." ”
She gritted her teeth and rode away, followed by three fast horses.
I don't dare to delay all the way, if I travel day and night, I am afraid that I will miss the hour, and I am really tired to find an inn to rest.
Along the way, there are shops in the Four Kings Valley franchise in the prosperous towns and counties, and Wan Ruo informed them of the contents of the holy decree one by one, so that they could also pass the message back as quickly as possible, so as to gain more time to book a special coffin for the emperor.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the Valley of the Four Kings, Wan Ruo felt a little relieved, and when he passed through a wilderness, he was sleepy and tired, so he dismounted and docked in the shade of a tree to rest, so that the horses could eat grass and regain their strength.
The bag was filled with jerky and flatbread, and if you tear it down, put it in your mouth and chew it slowly.
Dust shook in the distance, and more than ten horsemen rushed to pass, and when they passed by Wan Ruo, one person immediately exclaimed: "There are horses, there are horses here." ”
Everyone stopped their horses, and one of the men rode towards Wan Ruo, looked around and looked up and down for a moment and said, "This eldest sister is waiting for someone?" ”
"Does it have anything to do with you?" If you don't say a word, you still break off a piece of the flatbread and put it in your mouth.
The man was stunned: "This eldest sister is a fierce person, I like it, let's say, how much silver do you have for these horses?" ”
"Not for sale." Wan Ruo said coldly.
The man snorted disdainfully: "If you don't eat and drink in the toast, then I will take it all away." ”
He slowly approached a horse, reaching for the reins.
"Presumptuous!" With a scream, the wind hit the back of the man's hand.
"Oops!"
The back of the man's hand was in sharp pain, and a piece of flesh was cut off and blood flowed out.
He peered into the grass and a piece of broken bread struck him.
The man showed his sword, beckoned his companions in the distance, and said angrily: "I don't see that there are really two hits, brothers, everyone has a share in capturing her." ”
He galloped towards Wan Ruo, and when he reached the bottom of the tree, he swept straight past the horse, and stabbed Wan Ruo in the chest with a sword.
Wan Ruo had already packed his bags, summoned the sword in his right hand and held it in his palm. When she saw the other party stabbing him, she used the word "seal" to block it, and kicked him under the crotch while the other party could not borrow force in mid-air.
"Ahh
There was a heart-rending scream, and the man threw his sword and fell into the grass wailing, rolling in pain.
"Today, my mother is in a good mood, so I will leave you with a dog's life for the time being." Wan Ruo warned.
Her swordsmanship is already exquisite, integrating the essence of Fengwu swordsmanship, coupled with the hidden mental method of Snake Island, so that the internal force and swordsmanship complement each other, and it is even more powerful.
When they saw that their companions were wounded, they dismounted, and each of them came round about him with his sword.
If she is not afraid, she relies on the body of the tree, no matter where her body moves, there is always a place that does not need to be guarded against, and there is a tree trunk as a barrier to shelter.
Those people don't look at the number of people, but the kung fu is sparse, relying on the large number of people and the crowd does not cooperate reasonably, and there is a lack of strong support around one person to attack.
When they met in Pingshui, Wan Ruo and they didn't have a deep hatred, and they couldn't bear to make a killing move, at most they stabbed a sword wound on the other party's body, or kicked a broken leg.
These people are like lambs to be slaughtered at the door, and they all fall to the ground one by one after a while, either with broken legs or broken arms, regretting how to provoke a female evil star.
"Hmph, I don't know how to lift."
Wan Ruo shook off the blood stains on his sword and withdrew from his body, and was about to get on his horse when a strong wind struck from behind him.
