Chapter 360: Taihao chases Duogui for thousands of miles
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from the depths of the dense forest, and the figure of Tu Poison Mo slowly appeared in everyone's sight. He was followed by a woman with a pale face, her body bound tightly by rough ropes, and a mass of cloth stuffed in her mouth, apparently used by the Poison Torture Ink to prevent her from making sounds.
Tu Poison Mo's gloomy gaze swept over Tai Hao and the group of women in white, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile. He asked, "Taihao, why are you here?" ”
Tai Hao's eyes were firm, and he looked at Tu Poison Mo without fear. He said in a deep voice: "Tu Poison Mo, I'm here to find you, you quickly release that woman!" ”
Tu Poison Mo seemed to hear a joke, and he laughed. Laughing, he asked, "Do you know her?" ”
Tai Hao's brows tightened, and his tone revealed unquestionable firmness: "This woman's grandfather has already reported to the official, and I am here to save him." ”
Tu Poison Mo's laughter gradually stopped, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. He turned to the woman who was tied up behind him and said coldly, "It seems that your grandfather cares about you very much." ”
Although the woman was bound, her eyes revealed a firm conviction. She shook her head vigorously, as if to express her indomitability in this way.
Tu Poison Mo no longer paid attention to the woman, he turned to look at Tai Hao, his eyes flashing with a cunning light. He asked, "Taihao, do you know who the heroine next to you is?" ”
Taihao turned his head to look at the old woman, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know. ”
The old woman stepped forward slowly, her gaze swept over Taihao, as if assessing his strength. She said lightly: "Are you Taihao? The old man is the head of Meng Yingshan, Duogui, and I have heard your name on the rivers and lakes. Taihao hero, this woman is mine now, please don't stop it. ”
When Tai Hao heard this, his heart couldn't help but froze. He knew that Meng Yingshan was a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, and Duogui, as the head, naturally his strength should not be underestimated. However, the sense of justice in Taihao's heart made him unable to just give up on rescuing the woman. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master Duogui, this woman is innocent, I can't watch her being taken away. Please raise your noble hand and let me save her. ”
The head of Duogui shook her head slightly, and her tone revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Taihao Daxia, this woman is gifted, and she is a wizard of martial arts. The old body intends to bring her back to Meng Yingshan, personally teach her martial arts, and train her into a generation of heroines in the rivers and lakes. Please also ask Taihao Daxia to make it convenient and don't stop it. ”
When Tai Hao heard this, his brows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Duogui, your kindness is understood." But this woman's grandfather is still looking forward to it at home, waiting for her to go back. I can't just watch her get taken away. ”
When the head of Duogui heard this, his face sank. She sneered and said, "Taihao Hero, since you are so persistent, then the old body is not welcome!" Tu Poison Mo, you hand over this woman to me, and you can solve the rest by yourself. ”
As the words of the head of Dogui fell, the group of young women behind her instantly took action. They were in good shape, and quickly came to Tu Poison Mo's side and picked up the bound woman.
The koji next to him hurriedly rushed forward, trying to snatch the woman. However, Tu Poison Mo coldly kicked him away. Koji fell heavily to the ground and screamed loudly in pain.
Seeing this, Taihao was furious in his heart. He instantly fought with Tu Poison Ink, and the figures of the two of them shuttled quickly through the dense forest, and their fists and feet intersected with each other with a muffled sound.
The head of Duogui took the opportunity to quickly leave with her apprentices, and led the woman to the depths of the dense forest. Their figures quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving Tai Hao and Tu Poison Mo fighting fiercely in the forest.
In the dense forest, the sunlight is like a golden ribbon, through the gaps in the treetops, dappled on the ground, forming a patch of light and shadow. The fierce battle between Tai Hao and Tu Poison Ink had been going on for half an hour, and their figures were shuttling quickly between the trees, like two swimming dragons churning in the emerald sea. Their fists and feet intersected, making a dull sound that seemed to tremble even in the air.
Taihao's "Ranger Miracle" is vividly exerted in this dense forest. His movements are as light as the wind, swift as thunder, and every shot carries a thunderous momentum. His figure was erratic, sometimes appearing in front of Poison Suppressor like a phantom, sometimes passing behind him like a ghost. Each attack was precise and ruthless, making it difficult for Tu Poison Ink to parry.
Tu Poison Mo is also a martial arts master with strong skills. His defense was as agile as flowing water, and he was able to deftly avoid Taihao's attacks every time. However, as time passed, his breath began to become rapid, and his face gradually turned pale. Taihao's offensive was as fierce as a raging storm, and he felt powerless. There was a hint of panic in his eyes, but more of a determination and determination.
At this moment, Koji Yi struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes flashing with anger and revenge. He picked up the long sword in his hand and rushed towards Tu Poison Mo's back, piercing the long sword with all his might. Tu Poison Mo let out a miserable scream, his body trembling violently, but he was powerless to return to the sky.
Seeing this, Taihao instantly seized the opportunity. He lunged at Tu Poison Ink and punched him hard in the chest. Tu Poison Mo's body flew out as if it had been hit by a giant hammer, and fell heavily to the ground. A trace of blood spilled from his mouth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. Eventually, he never moved again, and fell to the ground completely.
There was silence in the forest, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops. Tae-ho and Koji Yi stood in place, gasping for breath. There was a hint of exhaustion on their faces, but more of joy and relief. They knew that the battle was finally over. Tu Poison Mo, a vicious martial arts scum, finally got the end he deserved.
Taihao turned to look at Ko Yi, his eyes full of appreciation and gratitude. He patted Koji Yi on the shoulder and said, "Koji Yi, you did a good job, although it is a bit dishonorable to stab him to death from behind, but there is no need to talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes to deal with such gangsters and wanted criminals of the Eastern Empire." ”
Koji Yi smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you Master for the compliment." There was a flash of humility and pride in his eyes, and he knew that this was Master's recognition of his efforts. Then, with some confusion, he asked, "Master, what should we do next?" ”
Tai Hao's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "Report to the official, let the government of Michuan City deal with the killing of this wanted criminal in the imperial court." His words reveal respect for the law and the maintenance of public order and good customs.
Koji Yi nodded yes, and immediately prepared to leave to report to the official. However, Taihao raised his hand and motioned for him to wait for a moment. He pointed to a chaiman who was chopping wood in the distance, and smiled: "No need, give this chaiman a chance to receive the reward and let him report to the official." ”
With that, Taihao stepped forward and started talking to Chai Fu. He asked gently, "This big brother, excuse me, are you a resident of the neighborhood?" ”
Chai Fu looked up and saw that it were two magnificent knights, hurriedly put down the axe in his hand, and replied respectfully: "Yes, I am a resident of this neighborhood. I wonder what the two knights commanded? ”
Tai Hao smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, a big incident happened here just now, there was a wanted criminal in the imperial court who was subdued by our master and apprentice, but unfortunately he has been killed. We would like to ask you to help you report to the yamen in the city and let the government handle this matter. In this way, you can also receive a bounty. ”
Hearing this, Chai Fu's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. He stammered, "Really...... Are you sure? I...... Can I go to the police? ”
Taihao nodded in affirmation: "Of course it's true." All you need to do is go to the yamen in the city and tell the government what is happening here, and they will give you a bounty. This is your chance, don't miss it. ”
Chai Fu's face was flushed with excitement, and he thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, knight!" Thank you, knights! I'm going to report to the official! With that, he picked up his axe and hurried towards the city.
Looking at the back of Chai Fu leaving, Koji Yi said with admiration: "Master, you are really clever. In this way, he can not only report to the official, but also allow the eldest brother to get a bounty. ”
Tai Hao smiled faintly and said, "People in the rivers and lakes should help each other." We are chivalrous, not only for ourselves, but also for those in need. Let's go, let's chase down the head of Dagui and rescue Baehyun's daughter. ”
Taihao thought that with the pursuit of their master and apprentice, they would soon be able to catch up with the traces of the head of Duogui and his apprentices. However, things turned out far beyond his expectations.
He and Koji Yi chased from early morning to dusk, through dense forests and mountains, but they never found any trace of Duogui's head of the family. Each time they seemed to catch some clue, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace. Tiredness and disappointment weighed down like a heavy burden, almost overwhelming them.
As night fell, Jiyang City loomed in the night, as if it was a beacon to guide them forward. However, God is not beautiful. Suddenly, dark clouds, strong winds, and a torrential downpour of rain poured down. The icy rain hit them mercilessly, soaking through their clothes and freezing cold.
They wanted to find an inn to rest in the rain, but strangely, the entire city of Jiyang seemed to fall into a deep sleep. The doors and windows of the houses lining the streets were closed, and none of the inns were willing to receive them on this stormy night. They wander like homeless wanderers in strange cities.
Just when they felt hopeless, a brightly lit mansion came into view. The door of the house was open, as if to invite them. Taihao and Koji Yi looked at each other and smiled, a glimmer of hope flashing in their eyes. They walked quickly to the door of the house and knocked softly.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of them. He looked at the two soaked, embarrassed strangers in confusion. Taihao immediately bowed his hand and explained in a sincere tone: "In Xia Taihao, he and his apprentice Koji Yi strayed into your land because of the rain, and I implore your mansion to take us in for a night." ”
The middle-aged man looked at their exhausted appearance and the longing and expectation in their eyes, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. He nodded and motioned for them to come in. Taihao and Koji gratefully followed the middle-aged man into the warm house.
The furnishings in the courtyard are warm and elegant, in stark contrast to their embarrassed image at the moment. The middle-aged man warmly welcomed them, settled them in a spacious and comfortable room, and personally brought them hot ginger soup and clean clothes. This sudden warmth and care moved Taihao and Koji Yi to tears. They knew that in this strange city, they had met good Samaritans.
After drinking the ginger soup, their bodies gradually warmed up. They sat in front of the window, looking at the pouring rain outside the window, and their hearts were full of emotion. Tai Hao sighed softly and said, "I didn't expect that we chased for a whole day and still couldn't catch up with Duogui. This road is really full of unknowns and uncertainties. ”
At this time, the middle-aged man knocked lightly on the door, and then pushed the door in, holding a pot of steaming hot water in his hand. He had a warm smile on his face, and his voice was gentle and kind: "Two knights, the night is cold, I don't know where you are going?" Do you need some hot water to warm up? ”
Taihao and Koji Yi glanced at each other, and they both saw gratitude in each other's eyes. Tai Hao stood up and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you brother Tai for your help, we are going to Meng Yingshan." Haven't asked for the name of the godbrother Taizun? ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, put the kettle on the table, and waved them to be polite. He poured two cups of hot tea, pushed them in front of Tai Hao and Lu Yi, then sat down slowly, and replied, "My name is Lu Jia." Meng Yingshan? It's a remote place, four thousand miles away. Two knights, why are you going so far? ”
When Tai Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be instantly surprised: "Four thousand miles? I didn't expect Meng Yingshan to be so far away. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the difficulties and challenges that this long journey would bring. Koji Yi also frowned, clearly worried about the long journey.
Seeing this, Lu Jia gently comforted: "The two knights don't have to worry, although Meng Yingshan is far away, there are also many beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way. As long as you have enough patience and determination, I believe that you will be able to reach your destination smoothly. ”
