Chapter 53: Someone Waits at the Table
When the wind stirred the clouds, it seemed that the whole sky was running in one direction, and the horses below were like tiny dots on the ground, very small.
"Ahem......" On the galloping horse, Wang Xuan, who was a little pale, coughed slightly, and after tracking all the way, they passed through the barren plain and gradually entered the undulating grassland of the mountains and rivers. And on such a road, his internal injuries flared up again, and the fatigue made him even more infected with the wind and cold, and every cough made Ding Mo, who was also galloping beside him, feel tight.
"General, further on is the north-south passage, which has been controlled by Jing Wu, and there are five thousand elites in it, such as ......"
"I know these things better than you do. Wang Xuanwei interrupted him, and there was a cold glint in his eyes, "I'm sick, but not to the point of confusion." ”
After speaking, he pulled the reins hard, and shouted "Wait!", the black horsemen got the signal, and they all held the reins to strangle the horse's castration, and with a few neighing horses, the whole cavalry gradually slowed down and slowly moved forward.
All the horses are panting, and the squeezing along the way has already brought the potential of these black horse's excellent horse breeds to the limit, but because of this, Ding Mo also knows that even if these horses can return to the black horse's horse farm alive, they will lose weight because of such a violent run, and it will be difficult to recover without a year or two.
And by that time, the best age of the horse will be over, and even if it recovers, it will not be better than it is now.
Thinking about the fact that they followed the trails of Zhuge Wanling and others, and pursued them all the way despite the endurance of the horses, but they couldn't even really see the horse buttocks of Zhuge Wanling and others, which was really frustrating.
Their cavalry army is already a two-horse transfer, with few stops on the way, and still can't catch up with Zhuge Wanling, where did they come from such a speed?
However, in addition to Ding Mo worrying about the horses, he was more worried about Wang Xuanwei's physical condition, along the way, Wang Xuanwei was running on horses at other times except for healing at night, and now he was infected with the wind cold, no one knew how long he could resist.
And now, Wang Xuanwei reined in the war horse, and finally let him breathe a sigh of relief.
"General, aren't we chasing?" Ding Mo said cautiously.
Wang Xuan looked into the distance slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly as if he was thoughtful, and after a while, he said softly: "No need, someone is already waiting for us." ”
"Someone waiting?" Ding Mo was stunned, and before he had time to think, he found that what caught his eye was a lonely figure in the distance.
The figure was so thin that he even ignored it, and as he rode his horse forward, the voice grew louder.
In the continuous wind, the man's blue clothes fluttered in the wind, and in front of him was a small table with bronze wine vessels and two small tripods, one of which was bread and the other was milky white soup.
Ding Mo frowned, and after a closer look, the hand holding the knife tightened, Zhuge Wanling!
He subconsciously widened his eyes and swept around, since Zhuge Wanling was here, didn't it mean that Gao Changgong and the others were also nearby?
But he searched for a long time, but he couldn't find any traces, Zhuge Wanling seemed to be a completely pure person, and even his entourage named Abu was not by his side.
Wang Xuanwei rode his horse slowly close to Zhuge Wanling, and when he was only twenty steps away from Zhuge Wanling, he dismounted, handed the reins to a black rider beside him, and then took a step and walked over.
"Mr. Zhuge . ”
Zhuge Wanling smiled, his face was also a little tired after running for a long time, but his eyes were still as calm as an ancient well, he pointed to the blanket opposite the small table, and said, "Mr. Wang, please." ”
Wang Xuanwei slowly knelt down and sat down, Zhuge Wanling nodded, and bowed to Wang Xuanwei: "Mr. Wang has worked hard for many days, and he must not have been able to eat a good meal. ”
Wang Xuanwei glanced at the dough cake on the table, and then looked at the milky white mutton soup, the wine in the bronze wine vessel is a familiar taste to him, this wine is the Mo family's wine, compared to Jing Wu's light and light wine, the Mo family's wine is spicy as a knife, and the stamina is strong, which is more in line with his taste.
Wang Xuanwei didn't move the chopsticks, but said softly: "Mr. Zhuge is so interested, I think that Gao Changgong has already crossed the north-south passage with that bloodthirsty scale, and the big thing is over, I can't wait to lead the singing, right?"
Zhuge Wanling shook his head, and there was no smugness in his expression: "It's just a fluke that is one step ahead of Mr. Wang, and there is nothing to be proud of." ”
"Hmph. Ding Mo, who was standing next to Wang Xuanwei, couldn't hold back his anger a little, and snorted coldly, "Dark arrows hurt people, villain behavior, you naturally can't be proud." ”
"Presumptuous. Wang Xuan glanced at Ding Mo slightly, and said slowly, "Mr. Zhuge is also something you can comment on?"
After Ding Mo finished speaking, he also understood that he was a little speechless, and arched his hand: "Ding Mo knows that he is wrong. ”
Wang Xuan looked away slightly, although he and Zhuge Wanling were enemies of each other, he still maintained Zhuge Wanling on top of this kind of words. And Zhuge Wanling just looked at him calmly and didn't say a word.
And Wang Xuanwei, who had just reprimanded Ding Mo for his disrespectful words, smiled very coldly at the moment: "Why don't you leave? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?"
Zhuge Wolong's face was calm, he reached out and took out a cake in the ding, and used chopsticks to take out a piece of tender mutton from the mutton soup, and chewed it gently, as if to prove that there was no poison in the food: "What's the good of killing me?"
Wang Xuanwei still didn't move his chopsticks, his eyes were like a steel knife, cutting back and forth on Zhuge Wanling's face: "The benefits are naturally many, killing you, Jing Wu is equivalent to losing the commander, is it possible for those loose forces in the rivers and lakes to continue to obey orders with Jing Wu?" And above Jing Wu's court, those forces that originally came from the rivers and lakes and the family are incompatible, when you are there, Jing Wu can still maintain balance, and when you die, the entire court will also be overturned because of your death, take this opportunity to go south and pacify Jing Wu in one fell swoop, do you think this is a benefit?"
Zhuge Wolong smiled: "So this is the benefit? Then let me tell you about other benefits, once Jing Wu is overturned, the situation in the world is turbulent, and the Tang State and Canghai will not be able to let go of Jing Wu's rich land in the first place, but with the strength of their family, they will definitely not be able to fight against the Mo family, so they will unite to crusade against the Mo family, and the remnants of Jing Wu will inevitably respond to the two families to crusade against the Mo family together because you killed me, at that time, will the Mo family have the ability to face the situation of being attacked on three sides?"
Wang Xuanwei was silent.
He knew that Tang Guo and Canghai had been at odds with the Mo family for countless years, and it was almost impossible to unite with each other. Compared with these two, Jing Wu and the Mo family did not have much conflict. And through the north-south passage, Jing Wu and the Mo family have also become an alliance that can be attacked, retreated, and defended, which is also the reason why Tang and Canghai have been having a headache all these years.
"In order to vent his personal anger, and ignore the great cause of the Mo family, Mr. Wang, are you such a person?" Zhuge Wanling smiled.
After a long time, Wang Xuanwei raised his head and stared at Zhuge Wanling, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhuge stayed just to mock me?"
Zhuge Wanling shook his head, reached out and chewed a piece of mutton again, and after swallowing, he said gently: "I stayed because I wanted to tell Mr. Wang something." ”
Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Xuanwei's mind, and he slowly held the bronze wine glass in his hand. Zhuge Wanling had eaten the bread and tasted the mutton soup, but he didn't drink the wine in front of him.
But Wang Xuanwei's face was calm, and he took a sip slowly, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Wang didn't get the bloodthirsty reverse scales, did he think that fortunately, he still had a piece of divine dragon reverse scales in his hand, and when he went back to the Mo family, he could still make a difference?"
Hearing Zhuge Wanling mention this matter, Wang Xuanwei's face couldn't help but sink: "Can I make a difference, what does this matter to you?"
"I just want to remind Master Wang, it's best to check the scales earlier, if you give this scale to Mozi, I'm afraid that Mozi will doubt your ability to do things in the future. ”
"What do you mean...... Wang Xuan frowned slightly, turned his head to Ding Mo and said, "Scales." ”
Ding Mo lowered his head and carefully took out a rag from his arms. The scales of the dragon contain the powerful power of his life, and it also contains the memory fragments of his long life, which are directly touched by the human body, and those memory fragments will be frantically poured into the person's body, if the strength is poor, it may even be directly destroyed by the brain domain and become an ignorant fool.
Naturally, he had to wrap it in broken steps to block the ancient and majestic power.
