Hankasa • Volume 1 • Omen of Doom Chapter 30 Acting in the Dark
Lin Xu practiced a few tricks a little, then stopped to rest, it was noon, Lin Jing went to the soul temple to discuss, she went back to the bamboo house by herself, went to the vegetable garden to cut some bamboo shoots, carried the bamboo basket and walked on the road, to the river, just washing vegetables, but saw a light blue back squatting on the river bank.
She took a closer look, and was immediately startled, that person was Lu Yunxiang, Lu Yunxiang was holding a mountain peach in his hand, and he was washing in the water, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Lin Xu looking aside, and immediately stood up.
Lin Xu was stunned, and when he saw Lu Yunxiang standing up, he saluted and said, "How could Lord Lu Guan be here?" Lu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Senior Sister Lin, I was about to look for you, but I ran into it here, what a coincidence." ”
Lin Xu said suspiciously: "The master of the view is looking for me, the master of the view has not taken a step in Qingyao for many years, how can he come out of the view today? Why are you looking for me?" Lu Yunxiang said in detail: "In March, it will be the annual banquet on the river, and the helper wants to send me to find out and pass on the message to her, except for the carrier pigeon delivered back by Yunqi, there are no other pigeons, I wonder if there are any carrier pigeons available in the senior sister Guan?" Lin Xu said happily: "If the master of the audience goes to the banquet in person, then the ranking on the heroic list will be earth-shattering." Lu Yunxiang said with a smile: "I'm only here to help, not to participate in the competition, so don't make fun of my sister." ”
Lin Xu was a little disappointed, and replied: "That's a pity, I don't have a carrier pigeon in Zhongxiangguan, Zhongxiangguan sends messages to go down the mountain in person, but there are very few letters for it, and the master can send disciples back to the mountain to help the master, then there is no need for carrier pigeons." Lu Yunxiang sighed: "Riding back from the towns of Jiangdong, it takes ten days, and then the gang leader will reply to the letter, but I am afraid that the time will be longer, tomorrow I will go down the mountain to the town to take a look, and buy some carrier pigeons to help back." Lin Xu suddenly thought: "Yes, I just go down the mountain tomorrow, why don't you buy a few for the master, do you think it's feasible?" Lu Yunxiang said happily: "That's just right, I'll go with my senior sister tomorrow." Lin Xu smiled: "Very good, very good." ”
Lu Yunxiang handed a basket of peaches to Lin Xu and said: "This is a peach produced by Qingyaoguan, which is delicious and sweet, and I hope that my senior sister will accept it with a smile." ”
Lin Xu took the bamboo basket, took one and put it in his mouth and chewed it, his face was full of enjoyment, and he grinned: "This fruit peach is really delicious, thank you to the master!" Lu Yunxiang arched his hand and replied: "I think when I first arrived at the Jade Flute, thanks to the support of my senior sister, who taught me to help regulate me thoroughly, I have been specializing in flute learning all these years, leaving this sisterhood behind, and now I still come to find trouble with my sister, I really don't want to go, I don't have to be formal, just call me Yunxiang." Lin Xu refused: "How can this be? How can you abandon the gang rules and ignore them?" Lu Yunxiang said: "Senior sister is naturally polite in front of people, and behind people are her own sisters." Lin Xu said in a trance: "I see, Senior Sister Yunxiang, I'm welcome?"
took another fruit peach and chewed it in his mouth, Lu Yunxiang saw it and said with a smile: "Senior sister has not changed a trace over the years, so that my sister is envious." Lin Xu waved his hand and said: "I'm not as good as my sister, I am the master at a young age, and I am the one who should be envied." Lu Yunxiang said: "It's just that I respect the teacher's orders, and sometimes I can't help myself." ”
Lin Xu looked at Lu Yunxiang as if he was in a trance, so he stopped talking, only chewed the fruit and peach, and ate happily, the two washed the bamboo shoots, went straight to the bamboo house, cut the bamboo shoots into slices, and put them in the pot.
Lin Xu walked over and took a look, and immediately laughed at his belly, and said in a loud voice: "My sister really doesn't eat fireworks in the world, my stove is going to be blocked by you." ”
Lu Yunxiang covered his nose and ran out of the house, and said to the house: "I said I wouldn't do this, and my sister asked me to help." Lin Xu said with a smile: "This is not mine, you lai-skinned girl, when did you say that you can't burn firewood?"
The two of them talked and made trouble, when the meal was cooked, they brought bamboo shoots to the table, added a bowl of green eggplants, and had dinner, and at three o'clock in the evening, Lu Yunxiang went back to Qingyaoguan, Lin Jing returned to the house a little later, and Lin Xu told Lin Jing all the interesting things about getting along with Lu Yunxiang that day.
Lin Jing was shocked, refused to believe anything, and threatened that Lu Yunxiang rarely came out to watch, and besides, people were the masters of a view, how could they have leisure and elegance to play with Lin Xu, so he went straight back to the room to sleep, Lin Xu was helpless, so he had to rest on the couch.
In Yudi Town, since Zhao Li, Zhao Ping, and Wang Qing came to Yudi Town, Huang Nansheng, who followed him, sent disciples to scatter all over the town.
After figuring out the situation in the town, a few lines of people wandered around Qusan Building, and there were also a few inns not far from the next building, a group of shallow water disciples patrolled for a day during the day, and rested at the inn at night, and changed to another line of disciples to continue to patrol, and never slackened for half a minute.
Huang Nansheng sat in the room for a while, and in addition to reading the portable reading book all day long, he asked his disciples how the situation was in Qusanlou.
Ten days and ten nights of running, the carriage and horses are tired, Zhao Ping is still injured, the three of them negotiated, had to rest here for five days, five days passed, the three of them will be within 15 days, try their best to rush back to Kyoto, if a step late, only afraid of accidents, disaster is coming.
Zhao Ping was seriously injured, Zhao Li went to the pharmacy to buy medicine during the day, and there were always shallow water disciples behind him who accompanied him from afar, Zhao Li regarded himself as very high in swordsmanship, and saw that these individuals were nervous so much, and wanted to send them away one by one.
But after all, it was Huang Nansheng's kindness, and it was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to let him follow him, just pretend not to know, and buy medicine according to reason.
When I went back to the building, I felt that the person behind me disappeared, so I smiled slightly, entered the Qusan Building, entered the firewood in the backyard, handed the medicinal materials to the kitchen miscellaneous, and let it boil the medicine.
Back to the second floor, knocked on the door of Zhao Ping's house, Zhao Ping said "Please come in", Zhao Li pushed the door in, and saw Wang Qingzheng sitting in front of the couch and talking to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Li closed the door and sat on the wooden chair and said, "Wang Huwei, Daddy is sick, don't bother too much." Wang Qing smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'll leave after a while." ”
Zhao Ping squinted his eyes and said: "You girl, when you left Beijing, you didn't have the slightest idea of taking care of your father, but now you think about your father, fake benevolence and false righteousness!" Zhao Li said: "Li'er knows her mistakes, and your father doesn't have to count like this all the time." ”
Zhao Ping looked at her with a bitter face, and didn't say anything, only turned his back and sighed.
Zhao Li said to herself: "Wang Guard, what did you talk to your father about just now?"
Zhao Ping blinked, his face changed slightly, and Wang Qing said worriedly: "County Lord, this time it is a long way to return to Beijing, and we have been delayed here for too long, and the prince plans to leave tomorrow." Zhao Li exclaimed: "Tomorrow? by all means, didn't you already agree on five days before? It's only been two days, how can my father's body stand it?"
Zhao Ping turned around and said to himself: "This king fights every year, and his body and bones are far better than ordinary people, this little injury is very good, and it is perfect to get up tomorrow." ”
Zhao Li was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Qing: "County Lord, it's not that the prince insists, we don't have much time, if we are one step late, Madame will be imprisoned, so that the Bianyang Mansion will have fallen into the world since then and will not return." ”
The more Zhao Li listened, the more shocked she became, she knew that the situation was urgent, but she never thought it was so urgent, so she had to respond: "Daddy has decided, my daughter will go downstairs to get medicine for Daddy." ”
So he went downstairs to get the medicine, poured the medicinal soup in the furnace into the bowl, served it to the second floor, and put it on the table when he entered the door.
After Zhao Li closed the door, he picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful to Zhao Ping's mouth, Zhao Ping smelled bitter and unwilling, but the good medicine had to drink it by himself, and after feeding a few spoons of the potion, Zhao Li Wang Qing closed the door of the house and went back to the house to rest.
Outside the Jade Flute Mountain, Mu Se is coming, a group of people take a few steps, fall on the pine, dressed in black, mask mesh, forehead with a gold pattern black cloth wrapped around it, and there are two words in the center: "Nightmare"
Since that day in Yeyun Mountain, after being reprimanded by Ye Ji, Xiao Jun Chen Yuan ordered him to go outside the northern capital as soon as possible, and when Zhao Ru and Zhao Ping and his party passed by, they were captured and returned to the mountain.
Chen Yuan acted according to the order, took most of the nightmares in the Absolute Ming Village, went down the mountain to look for horses, passed by a hill, and saw two horses parked on the edge of the hidden poplar forest, and was suspicious at the moment.
He ordered his subordinates to lie aside and watch the changes, until the early morning of the day, when he was sleepy, he was awakened by his subordinates as soon as he closed his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Li and Zhao Ping and his party walking out.
At the moment, he was overjoyed, and he wanted to attack the forest, but when he was about to leave, he saw the people around Zhao Ping, who were the gray-clothed people who blocked their way that day and fought with a group of dark nightmares for a long time.
Secretly hesitating, he took a closer look at the situation, and looked at a person, although the person was talking and laughing with Zhao Ping, his eyes were cold, but his eyes were aimed at the surroundings from time to time.
Chen Yuanguan is deeply hidden, it must be the mask man who rescued Zhao Ping that day is not wrong, he hesitated a little at the moment, and planned carefully, if he set out to arrest someone.
The middle-aged man has deep palm power, and there are subordinates by his side to support him, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed.
So he decided to be patient for the time being, and quietly followed behind to find an opportunity to start, but Zhao Ping and his party were fast, and it was day and night, Chen Yuan and others were accompanied by more than a dozen good horses, but they almost missed several times, and were almost detected several times.
Ye Yun Dark Nightmare is not only extraordinary in swordsmanship, but also has first-class skills in hiding and probing with others, otherwise outside the small village outside Ye Yun Town, he would not have quietly beheaded the twenty shallow water disciples sent by Huang Nansheng.
If you change to an ordinary disciple, you can't find it for thousands of miles, and you haven't lost it once.
After several twists and turns, from Yeyun Mountain to Yudi Mountain in southern Anhui, he found a good opportunity, and Zhao Ping was staying in Yudi Town at this time.
Chen Yuan sent a dark night to investigate, and within two days, he carefully searched for traces, and finally learned that Zhao Ping and others had settled in Qusanlou, and also found out the deployment and distribution of Huang Nansheng's shallow water disciples.
Tonight, taking advantage of the fog, he made up his mind, and the group landed on the pine trees outside the town and waited for departure.
But even at night, Huang Nansheng should also send his disciples to inspect, after Chen Yuan and the other dark nightmare entered the town, they found the place where the shallow water disciples patrolled, and slowly approached, several dark nightmares stabbed together, covered their mouths and killed with a sword at the same time, leaving no trace.
Chen Yuan knew that if there were no disciples to report it, Huang Nansheng would definitely notice that something was wrong, and at that time, he was afraid that there would be variables, and at that moment, all the dark nightmares quickly got up and flew at the window of Qu Sanlou.
Zhao Liben was sleeping soundly on the couch, but when he heard the sound of light steps outside the window, he suddenly felt something wrong, so he quietly got up and moved to the window.
At this time, Zhao Li, Wang Qing, and Zhao Ping were each squatting at the windows outside the three rooms, and Wang Qing and Zhao Ping were not aware at all, and they were still wandering in their sleep.
Zhao Li saw the opportunity, stabbed the window door with a sudden sword, the tip of the sword penetrated the window paper, and a sword was hit by the dark nightmare outside the window, roared miserably, and fell to the ground.
Zhao Li immediately shouted: "Daddy, be careful!
