Chapter 167: The Capital Meeting
In the dark night, two black horses, swept through barren mountains and wilderness, shallow tidal flats, and went north to Bianliang, Tokyo.
Tang Qingshuang has been riding a horse for two days and one night, and the strength on his body is like a burning fire, with endless flames.
And Kou Zhun, who was driving another horse behind Tang Qingshuang, even though he was old and a little physically distressed, he knew that if he arrived earlier, he would be safer, and Lin Xi would have less to bear.
When the two of them were chasing with all their might, Tang Qingshuang in front of him gradually slowed down.
"Miss Tang, what's wrong?"
"Shhhh......h
"Kou Xiang, dismount."
Seeing that she was so serious, Kou Zhun didn't ask any more questions, and jumped off the horse in a leap.
Closing her eyes, Tang Qingshuang listened carefully to the voice in the distance-
Tang Qingshuang put one hand behind the back of her neck, found the right time, and pinched it lightly, and a flying needle pinched it between her fingers accurately.
"Get down!" Tang Qingshuang shouted.
These words were obviously shouted at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun didn't say a word and squatted down on the spot, and the two horses fell down instantly with a scream, and Kou Zhun's horse almost hit him.
Lin Xi jumped off the horse, shook off the flying needle, and saw that on the hill, an uninvited guest suddenly attacked the killer, and the long sword in his hand stabbed Tang Qingshuang directly!
Kou Zhun only felt that the white light flashed in front of him, Tang Qingshuang had already pulled out a long knife and swept the assassin, the latter was stabbed in the abdomen, and then he fell backwards, and in the wide sleeves of the robe in his left hand, a green snake shot out and shot straight at Tang Qingshuang's face!
Hearing only a girl's whisper, Tang Qingshuang's figure quickly fell in the dark night.
Kou Zhun was still far away, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, only to see the figure in front of him fall, and his heart was half cold for a moment.
Ten paces away, the fallen Assassin smuggled and approached to check on the situation.
After a "snort", the assassin's expression instantly froze on his face!
It's the sound of a weapon piercing into the flesh!
Tang Qingshuang, who fell to the ground just now, the long knife in his hand had now pierced the assassin's chest, and the green snake just now had already been cut into two pieces by Tang Qingshuang.
Through the pale moonlight, Tang Qingshuang saw the assassin in front of him clearly: "Tang Tieyu, have you been following me?" ”
This person turned out to be his junior brother, a good hand at making secret weapons for feeding green snakes, the hall master of the Little Tang Sect, Tang Tieyu!
"Senior sister...... You, so nosy, won't end well! Poof......" Tang Tieyu didn't finish a word, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he died on the spot.
Tang Qingshuang looked at Tang Tieyu's corpse and fell into deep contemplation......
"Miss Tang, he is ......" Kou Zhun shook the stunned Tang Qingshuang and asked.
"Huh? This...... Kou Xiang, he is my junior brother, Tang Tieyu. He's coming to stop me? Could it be ...... He was also bought? ”
Tang Qingshuang couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"We ...... Keep walking, shall we? Kou Zhun said.
Tang Qingshuang glanced around: "This place ...... It seems that it is almost in Gyeonggi. Kou Xiang, let's find the nearest town and find a horse. ”
"Your injury, doesn't it matter?"
"My injuries?" Tang Qingshuang subconsciously touched his arm and said, "I'm not injured!" ”
"Then I see you just ...... How did it fall? ”
Tang Qingshuang smiled: "Haha, Kou Xiang said just now, I lied to him, otherwise how can I solve it quickly?" ”
"Well, it's me...... The old eyes are dizzy, haha......"
Kou Zhun smiled awkwardly at Tang Qingshuang, and the two immediately went to the nearest town.
At the beginning of the morning light, Bianjing, which had always been sunny and clear, was suddenly covered with a thick layer of fog. Between heaven and earth, there seems to be a thick gauze weaving covering each other, and the three-foot Qingfeng who is unsheathed forward can only see the hilt, but the blade of the sword cannot be seen clearly.
Although the mist is heavy and the heavens and the earth are one, no one can stop any work at hand.
Because the fog will clear, and life will go on.
The clouds are deep and the fog is locked, and there are a lot fewer boats on the canal, and every time it comes, it is the day when the workers on both sides of the canal go down to the shallow water for dredging and dredging.
These people have lived on both sides of the canal for generations, and they have eaten this bowl of rice for generations, so they are clear about the depth and shallowness of the water in each area, so even if the fog is heavier, those who dare to enter the water will basically not have accidents.
But just when the workers finally cleaned up the silt on both sides of the canal and were about to leave the canal, something went wrong.
Of course, it wasn't the workers who had an accident.
Rather, it is the riverbank.
These Caohu will also see the terrifying scenes that they will never forget for the rest of their lives-
As a group of workers bustled by, the earth under their feet suddenly exploded with a huge explosion!
The Cao Gong were shocked, because with an explosion, hundreds of corpses were carried out by a huge wave of air and smashed into the Cao Gong present, and many of the corpses fell into the water, making a huge splash!
The explosion sent more than 100 corpses flying out, and the ground near it began to collapse, revealing more corpses stacked below. Due to the large space and the proximity to the canal, water has seeped into many places, and many corpses have even been half washed away by the water, and they can only barely distinguish human figures......
This incident was like the fuse of gunpowder, and in an instant, all the houses in the villages and towns near the canal exploded!
The governor's local security officer hurriedly went to the capital to report to the official, and all the people were talking about the explosion and hundreds of corpses, and those who were even more bold and good things went directly to the scene where the corpses were found.
Until this time, everything was still normal in the capital, except for this bizarre white fog......
Tang Qingshuang swaggered in from the city gate with Kou Xiang in disguise - this thick fog came at the right time, and only one guard at the city gate saw Kou Zhun's face. After checking that the identities of the two were normal, the guards also let them into Bianjing City.
"It's really time for this fog to come......" Tang Qingshuang walked next to Kou Zhun, after all, she was afraid that as soon as she turned around, she would not be able to find Kou Zhun in the fog.
"So, this is whitening?" Kou Zhun frowned and picked up a lock of braids, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Tang Qingshuang circled around Kou Zhun and joked with a grin: "It's not counting, isn't this beautiful?" I think it's good! You are an official too much, you always have to tie your hair and wear a hat, this is not for you to change the look, but also a new atmosphere! ”
Kou Zhun said helplessly: "Haha...... Okay, okay, anyway, this look is on my head, what you say is what......"
"Hee-hee...... Kou Xiang, it's here, it seems to be here! In the hazy fog, a plaque was lying on the door, Tang Qingshuang came forward and stood on tiptoe for a long time, and then he could barely see the four big characters on the plaque "Yuelai Inn".
"This seems to be on the royal street, and it is quite close to the Prime Minister's Mansion......" Although he couldn't see the distance clearly, Kou Zhun still guessed his location.
"Let's go, go in and see if they're there."
The two walked into the inn, and the excitement inside was a little beyond imagination.
"It's worthy of being an inn in the capital, it's much more lively than outside...... Tang Qingshuang muttered.
Kou Zhun analyzed: "This kind of place is suitable for hiding and hiding, and Lin Xi's character really should live here." Did he say where he lived? ”
"No, I just said that I lived in this inn."
"Looks ...... We can rest for a while. Kou Zhun smiled and found an empty table and sat down.
Tang Qingshuang sat down and asked curiously, "Why?" ”
This shows that Lin Xi must have arranged it. Don't worry, wait a minute, someone will come looking for us. ”
"Okay......" Tang Qingshuang nodded and began to look around cautiously.
Soon, a man in green clothes noticed the two.
Of course, the two of them noticed him, too.
The man sat down at the same table with the two, "Look at the looks of the two, like they are looking for someone?" ”
"Your Excellency too?" Kou Zhun asked without changing his face.
The man nodded meaningfully: "I came to find a girl surnamed Tang, and her sister sent her a letter. ”
"Letter? What letter? Tang Qingshuang asked a little urgently.
The man observed Tang Qingshuang's reaction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick.
"I think... Let her say it herself! ”
I saw him slowly open his hand, and the word "Lin" had already been written in his hand.
"You are ......" Tang Qingshuang's eyes lit up.
"Shh......h Ordered to wait here, please come with me-"
Tang Qingshuang looked at Kou Zhun, and he smiled and nodded at her.
The two followed Ling Luochen to the second floor and walked into the room that Lin Xi had already opened.
"Senior sister!" Tang Qingshuang walked in, and Tang Ling, who was already in the house, pounced in surprise.
"Hey-" Tang Qingshuang hugged Tang Ling happily, but she didn't forget to tease her sister: "Who didn't want to go with my senior sister in the first place?" Now that you're so affectionate, why did you go earlier? Haha......"
"Senior sister~~" Tang Ling directly sprinkled coquettishness in Tang Qingshuang's arms.
"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, our sisters will talk slowly in the future......" Immediately, Tang Qingshuang and Kou Zhun came to Lin Xi's front together.
"Xiaolin, long time no see!" Kou Zhun and Lin Xi never needed too many words, and they knew each other's intentions with just one look.
Lin Xi said with a smile: "Kou Xiang, it's really an honor to see you return safely!" ”
"Okay, okay," Kou Zhun helped Lin Xi up, "If it weren't for your message and Miss Tang waiting for me to protect me desperately, I'm afraid that my old bones would never have a chance to return safely!" ”
"Lin Xi--" Tang Qingshuang arched his hand to Lin Xi and said, "Brother Lin, I have completed your task." ”
"Well, you've worked hard--but" Lin Xi suddenly forced a smile and asked, "Kou Xiang's braids, could you have made them?" ”
Tang Qingshuang smiled and said, "Hmm! Do you have any comments? ”
"No, no, no......" Lin Xi replied with a smile: "What Sister Tang did, how dare I have an opinion!" ”
"Harm," Kou Zhun said: "Miss Tang originally intended to let me hide my identity, but it didn't work out, God still helped me!" There was a fog falling from the sky, and no one could see anyone! ”
Lin Xi smiled: "Hey! If you want me to say this, God should help us. If he doesn't help, what is it? -- That's because it doesn't have long eyes! Haha......"
