Volume 3 The Storm Rises in the Valley of the Wind and Clouds Chapter 51 Blessings and Misfortunes

The road lasted for two days, almost all of them were in the mountains on the west bank of the Yellow River, the mountain roads were rugged, and the people and horses were very hard.

Dolma's face was always full of smiles, which was incompatible with the exhaustion of the brocade guards, but it added a lot of confidence and courage to people.

Zhuoma also asked Chu Liufeng about some of his sister's affairs in Jiangnan from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, the two became acquainted with each other a lot.

"Brother Chu! We've been walking for two days, how long will it take to get to Wubao Town? ”

Dolma said casually.

"When my senior brother and I came to Fengyun Valley, we also took this road, there are more than 500 miles of mountain road from Wubao to Fengyun Valley, and we have walked for almost five days, and it seems that it will take three more days to reach Wubao."

Dolma smiled, looked up at the endless mountains, and said:

"This mountain is all bare, and it is similar to Kunlun Mountain, but fortunately, there is still snow on Kunlun Mountain, I really don't know what people here eat."

Chu Liufeng was suddenly speechless, the people of northern Shaanxi have suffered from a major drought in the past few years, and there is very little land that could have been planted.

The crops are almost not harvested, people dig wild vegetables on the cracked arid and barren loess to satisfy hunger, wild vegetables can't be dug up, they go to gnaw the bark, the court's help is a drop in the bucket, and it can't save many people, and it has become like this in a few years, followed by the surging thirty-six battalions.

People can't even eat, and they see their relatives starving to death one by one.

Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and the people have enough food and clothing in order to live and work in peace and contentment.

Chu Liufeng was preoccupied, and thinking of this, he felt even more pressure.

"Brother Chu! You're thinking about unhappy things again, when I was a child, my father told us, don't always look for troubles in everything, although the world is difficult, there will always be a bright day. ”

At such a young age, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old could say such a thing.

Chu Liufeng was a little surprised, and there was more warmth in his heart.

"Thank you! Sister Dolma! Why don't you call such a name like the real one. ”

Chu Liufeng was even a little happy.

"Brother Chu! I am very happy to see you have a smile, in fact, my full name is Zhuoma Yangjin, it was my father in order to thank Tibetan friends, our Shenyimen in Kunlun Mountain over the years, I was given this name, isn't it good? ”

Zhuoma Yang Jin Shui Ling, with a pair of deep beautiful eyes, looked at Chu Liufeng.

"Dolma Yangjin! Very nice to hear, it's a good name. ”

Chu Liufeng couldn't help but read it, and a flush suddenly flew on Zhuoma Yangjin's face, and he rushed forward with the reins.

——————

On the afternoon of the fifth day, the people climbed over a big mountain and saw the shadow of Wubao Town.

But I saw that on the bank of the Yellow River, on a large flat river valley, cooking smoke curled, and outside the city of Wubao Town, countless tents were connected together, and the sound of horns was heard from time to time.

"There is a brigade of people from the imperial court here, and Lord Yang Heyang, the governor of the three sides, is ready to enter the Fengyun Valley at any time."

Wan Wushui took the lead and pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said.

Gao Pitian next to him, a sad look passed over his face.

In Fengyun Valley, there are her mother and senior brother, and so many relatives and clansmen, her heart is also conflicted and painful, when she took out her sword and aimed it at her cousin Li Zicheng, that was the only time she mustered up her courage.

Suddenly, the military tent under the mountain burst into flames, and Wan Wushui shouted: "Not good".

The horses had already rushed down the mountain.

When they got closer, they saw a white-haired old man flying on top of the burning tent, and after the white-haired old man flew over, the soldiers who ran out of the tent fell down one after another.

Wan Wushui was shocked, this white-haired old man was Yan Wuji.

"Little rabbit cubs who eat dry rice, the old man let you all go and never return today."

Yan Wuji laughed, and another row of soldiers fell in the firelight.

Wan Wushui was waiting to step forward, fighting Yan Wuji, and a figure behind him had already jumped onto the top of the burning tent and attacked Yan Wuji.

"Brother Chu! You have to be careful, the old thief is very powerful, and you are still injured. ”

Dolma Yangjin shouted anxiously from behind.

Chu Liufeng had already arrived, and with a palm strike, Yan Wuji sneered, let go of the soldiers, and struck back with both palms.

Both of them are extremely fierce internal forces, and in a flash, they will see the difference.

Chu Liufeng only felt that Rushan's internal force had counterattacked, and he flipped backwards five or six times in a row and fell to the edge of the tent, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

Yan Wuji didn't get much better, he fell backwards a few feet from mid-air, staggered a few times on the ground and staggered before he stood still, and the others leaned on a flagpole, looking at Chu Liufeng opposite with a gray face, his eyes were full of doubts.

The soldiers who poured out of the military tent had already surrounded them with their dancing weapons, Yan Wuji sneered, jumped into the tent again, and went as if flying.

At this time, the sound of stormy hooves came from a distance, and a large group of cavalry rushed over from the official road on the bank of the Yellow River, which was a large number of elite cavalry of the Ming army.

Wan Wushui couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yan Wuji's figure in the distance, and hurriedly grabbed Chu Liufeng's side.

Zhuoma Yangjin squatted on the edge of the tent, grabbed Chu Liufeng's hand, and kept shouting, and people couldn't cry anymore.

Gao Lianlian was also crying on the side, she was not only crying about Chu Liufeng, whose life and death were unknown, but also crying for her relatives in Fengyun Valley.

At this time, a large number of elite horsemen of the Ming army had arrived, and the man in black at the head looked coldly, looked at the crying Gao Lian and Xin Tiedan, who was staying there, and suddenly shouted:

"Take these two criminals first, take them down for me."

Xin Tiedan was in a trance, the treasure knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the soldiers had already tied up Xin Tiedan and Gao Lianlian.

Wan Wushui was so angry that he stood up and shouted to the man in black:

"Yu Changkong! Why do you not go after the thief, but come and bind me? ”

Yu Changkong, the commander of the East Factory, saw Zhuoma Yangjin, who was already crying beside Chu Liufeng, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Take the will of the saint and show it to the commander, Gao Lian is a criminal in the imperial court, a thief in Xin Tiedan, and a dereliction of duty in Yanmen Pass, all of which are the same capital crimes, Lord Wan, I see that you are also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect yourself."

Wan Wuqi's face turned pale, pushed away the soldiers who handed him the holy decree, and squatted down to look at Chu Liufeng who was unconscious.

——————

After a day and a night, Chu Liufeng slowly woke up, and Zhuoma Yangjin, who was guarding the side, applied a hot towel to Chu Liufeng's cheeks and forehead, and called softly: "Brother Chu! ”

Chu Liufeng's face twitched, but he still closed his eyes in pain.

Zhuoma Yangjin was in tears again, crying in a low voice.

A white-haired old man next to him pulled out the silver needle on Chu Liufeng's body, stood up and said:

"Wan adults, the little ones have done their best, external application, acupuncture and moxibustion have been used, there is no effect, Xiao Chu is injured in the internal organs, such a serious internal injury needs to invite someone who is even more skilled than Xiao Chu, to get through the stasis, and then slowly regulate the broken meridians, so that it is possible to bring the dead back to life."

Wan Wushui was silent, waved his hand, and several people exited the room one after another.

"Those two prisoners, I will send someone back to Jingshi tonight, this Chu Liufeng is so badly injured, I don't think you should spend it here, or you will go back together and ask the emperor for guilt."

At this time, Yu Changkong walked in and said in a strange way.

"Whatever you want, Xin Tiedan has also made meritorious contributions in Fengyun Valley, he and Gao Lian stayed by Li Zicheng's side, and held Li Zicheng hostage at the critical moment. Can't you do things in the East Factory more clearly and then make a decision? ”

Wan Wushui let out a long sigh.

"Yu only knows that the will of the saint hangs above his head, and I want to keep my head."

"Little junior sister! You just stay by my side, and after a few days to pacify the thieves in Fengyun Valley, I will send someone to send you back to Kunlun Mountain." ”

Yu Changkong came over and talked to Zhuoma Yangjin again.

"I'm not with you, I'm going to be with Brother Chu and them, go to Jingshi to visit the second senior brother, and then wait for Uncle Zuo to rescue my sister."

Zhuoma Yangjin lowered his head, just rubbing Chu Liufeng's cheeks, ignoring Yu Changkong.

"It's not a way to go on like this, there are no masters near northern Shaanxi, the master is far away in Mingyue Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, and your father Yang Grandmaster is far away in Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions.

Ouyang Xiong, the master of Baiyang Gate, saw the head and did not see the end, the last time he saw him in Fengyun Valley, he was eighty percent, but where to find him, looking at the situation in northern Shaanxi, Ouyang Xiong has been involved in the thirty-sixth battalion nine times out of ten, even if he finds it, he may not necessarily help the junior brother heal.

Instead of waiting here for death, while the little junior brother still has a breath, it is better to turn back to the Beijing master and find other masters. ”

After Yu Changkong left, Wan Wushui had already made up his mind, and walked outside while talking to Zhuoma Yangjin.

Xin Tiedan and Gao Lianlian were tied up in the cabin, and the guards only gave one porridge and a few pickles every day, and Lianlian became thinner and thinner, and her expression was also sluggish.

Listening to the guards say that this is to escort the two of them to the Jingshi to ask for a knife, although Xin Tiedan is wronged, he is not afraid of death, but he has gone through so many tribulations with mercy, Xin Tiedan looked up at the top of the cabin, his heart became upset, and he couldn't help yelling a few times.

Gao Lian was in a daze, and was awakened by Xin Tiedan's voice, crawled over with his hands on the bilge, soothed Tie Dan's arm and said:

"Don't think about it so much, at least the two of us are still alive, I don't know what happened to the Flowing Wind Boy now, that Yan Wuji is really powerful, I really hope that the Flowing Wind Boy is okay."

Hearing the sound in the cabin, the guards outside kicked open the hatch and shouted:

"Quarrel to death, two death row prisoners, if you quarrel again, you two will be thrown into the Yellow River to feed the fish."

Xin Tiedan's eyes widened angrily and he was about to have a seizure, and Gao Pian said with a smile on his face:

"Don't blame this little brother, he is a tuberculosis criminal, and he is very uncomfortable in this airtight cabin, please forgive me."

The guard glanced at Mercy, closed the hatch and was about to leave.

At this time, Mercy said again: "Little brother, don't go, I have something for you." ”

After saying that, Mercy rubbed his head on the bulkhead of the ship a few times, and with an oops, a golden head flower fell, and Mercy's head was broken, and blood droplets floated on the pale face, which made people feel heartache.

Xin Tiedan hurriedly leaned over and pressed the merciful head with the clothes on his body to prevent the blood from flowing out again.

The guard picked up the flower, weighed it a few times, put it in his pocket with satisfaction, walked to the door, stretched out his neck, saw that there was no one outside, and asked in a low voice:

"What's the matter with you, tell me quickly."

"Does the little brother know, how is your little Chu-sama, is he healed, and where is he now?"

The guard looked at the pity and asked with some puzzlement:

"How is Lord Xiao Chu, does it have anything to do with you?"

Seeing that the mercy was silent, with an anxious look, the guards were a little unbearable.

"I heard the head of the man say, Lord Xiao Chu will be on the boat in front, and return to Jingshi like you, but whether he can survive until Jingshi does not die depends on his creation.

He has been unconscious since he was injured, and the doctors in the barracks were helpless, so Lord Wan took him back to Beijing and then sought help from a master. ”

Xin Tiedan and Gao Lian were a little relieved when they heard this,

The guard looked at the two of them and walked out of the cabin with a confused expression.
