Chapter Seventy-Three: Convective Clouds from Fire (2)
Treading the snow to find plums?Could it be that it was the inner disciple of the Liuyun Sect who was lurking just now?
That's the only way to do it.
Yan Gong waved his hand to signal the four of them to return to their positions, and a voice full of majesty sounded: "Where are they waiting?"
"Hui Yangong, out of this town, ten miles to the south, there is a mountain villa, and the owner of this village is a nail planted by the Missing Moon Sect. General Xuan led the remaining two hundred and five people, all of whom were there to wait for Yan Gong. ”
"Then let's go, we must intercept them in front of the Jingnan Mansion area. Yan Gong commanded, and then took the lead and galloped forward.
In half an hour, the group came to a large mountain villa, and hundreds of people were waiting in front of the door.
When Yan Gong fell off his horse, someone led his horse and walked away. He walked to the front of the village, with his hands behind his back, and examined the hundreds of people.
Behind him, two people followed with a half-man-high wooden box.
"Meet Yan Gong. The people in front of the village knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
There were only three people, and they did not bow down, but came to Yan Gong in front of him and saluted: "I have seen Yan Gong, Yan Gong has been tired all the way." The village has prepared a good wine to relieve the fatigue, please Yan Gong move a little jade step. ”
"The owner is polite, please lead the way, please. Yan Gong stretched out his hand and said.
At the wine table, a few people pushed their glasses and changed their lamps for a while, and Yan Gong said: "General Xuan, now let's talk about the situation at this time." ”
"Hui Yangong, there are twenty-four people from Liuyun Sect, and there are three people from the Treasure Casting Garden. He set off in the Liuyun Sect this morning, and his whereabouts are unknown for the time being. The subordinates came here at noon today, and the above news was provided by the owner. General Xuan said.
It seems that this person named Xuan Jiang is also very cunning. On the surface, I thanked the owner for providing the news, but in fact, I secretly said that this source is none of my business, and I have just arrived.
Sure enough, Yan Gong's face when he took off his towel was not very good-looking. A pair of red phoenix eyes, with thick eyebrows and a small nose and thin lips, you can be as awkward as you want.
He raised the wine glass in his hand, changed his face and said, "Thank you to the owner, I borrowed the owner's wine today to give you a glass in return." ”
"Don't dare to return the salute, it's right to be a contemptible person to respect Yan Gong, please. After the owner finished speaking, he drank it all.
Yan Gong put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "General Xuan, our entry into the Nanliu Kingdom has been learned by the Liuyun Sect, and now you immediately send your disciples to the vicinity of the Liuyun Sect, especially near the official road to Jingnan Mansion, to investigate the whereabouts of these dozens of people." ”
"The subordinates will arrange it immediately. General Xuan said.
"Send more people, echelon investigation to pass on information, I want to annihilate this team before the reinforcements of the Liuyun Sect. Yan Gong said.
General Xuan was about to salute to make arrangements, but Yan Gong suddenly said again: "Also, why is there someone in the Treasure Casting Garden?"
"Gong Yan, this Treasure Casting Garden and the Liuyun Sect are in-laws. The daughter of the Treasure Casting Garden practiced in the Liuyun Sect, and this time she went back to Bamboo New City by the way. "It was the owner who spoke.
"Then send two people to Bamboo New Town day and night to monitor every move of the Treasure Casting Garden. Yan Gong said.
General Xuan was ordered to go out, marking that the dozens of people of the Liuyun Sect would face the most dangerous test.
Seven days later
Two hundred miles northwest of Jingnan Mansion in Nanliu Kingdom, Liuyun Sect and his party hurried for a few days, and were able to approach the edge of Jingnan Mansion at this time.
"Li'en, you said that I should let my father attack Lihuo Mausoleum, why don't I feel that it is easy to achieve?" Situ Jie said as he looked at Shen Shifang, who was studying the map.
During this time, Situ Jie, Shen Shifang, and Xiao Yang still played the role of patrons. After getting along, several people are closer and less distanced.
"I said girl, you are known as the "talented woman of Nanliu Kingdom", and you are extremely smart. But why can't you see it?" said Shen Shifang with a smile.
"My wisdom is not used in these fights and killings, so I am not like you. Situ Jie muttered.
Shen Shifang looked up and saw Situ Jie's appearance, he smiled bitterly: "Although I have never met your father, he must be a scheming person who can enjoy his reputation in the Qiting Continent." ”
"You don't have a reputation! But you can speak. Situ Jie snorted a little angrily when she talked about her father.
"So, I didn't expect to capture or attack the Fire Tomb at all. Shen Shifang said.
"And why did you arrange it this way?"
"If your father understands what I said, he will understand that the so-called relieving pressure is to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Zhuxincheng is far away from Huoling, but we are also not close to Huoling.
If they really want to attack us, will those attackers still be distracted by whether their nest can be saved? On the way, I asked the deputy sect master, and when I learned the character of the leader of this Lihuo Tomb, he would definitely not give up his Lihuo Ling easily. ”
What Shen Shifang is doing now is to fight wits and courage with them. For these, it is really thanks to the proper education of Liyu since childhood.
This knowledge can be said to be familiar with the heart!
"Well, with the speed of the horse, it is estimated that the people of the Treasure Casting Garden have reached the border now, and it will take three days to reach the Lihuo Tomb. Situ Jie nodded and said.
"Clever. We haven't been attacked yet, and it's too late for them to come back with reinforcements. Shen Shifang praised.
"That gives us an extra layer of protection. Situ Jie said with a smile.
She admired Shen Shifang very much at the moment, and felt that everything was under his control. Lihuoling is like a pawn for him, at his mercy.
"You are so outstanding, and there are a lot of things hidden, I really can't see through you. Situ Jie thought to herself.
Shen Shifang suddenly lost his smile, and said very seriously: "Miss Situ, just like this, I'm afraid that the Treasure Casting Garden will offend the Missing Moon Sect, don't you blame me?"
Situ Jie knew that he was referring to the relationship with Wei Sheng Jianning, which might cause a rift, and his expression darkened, and said: "I don't blame you, I have always thought that this kind of relationship is the love between men and women." But later I found out that these feelings gradually became sour. ”
She didn't say it, it was because someone appeared later, which caused her world to change.
"But after all, nominally you are his marriage partner. Shen Shifang's voice became smaller and smaller, and there was also a sense of loneliness in his heart.
"If he really cares about me, why don't you stop them from attacking?" Situ Jie's eyes lowered, and his little hands as white as jade were still tugging at his cuffs.
"We're all guessing, not necessarily true. What's more, he probably doesn't know that you're too?" Shen Shifang said.
"You don't have to speak for him, I know it in my heart. Situ Jie said softly.
She is now very disappointed in Wei Sheng Jianning, when he was a child, he was not only kind to people, but even small animals refused to hurt.
But thinking back to his actions in Baixi City and in Liuyun Sect, they were all full of violence and viciousness.
Shen Shifang nodded, did not intervene in Situ Jie's private affairs, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
He had just seen the location of this place from the map, passed through this woods, walked onto the official road, and entered the jurisdiction of Jingnan Mansion in half an hour.
After walking for another three days, you can sit in the palace and drink a cup of tea and enjoy the breeze.
At this time, the carriage stopped, and Shen Shifang, who was sitting inside, heard the sound of horses' hooves.
"You stay here, don't come out. Shen Shifang said.
He now had a bad feeling that something was going to happen.
"Where are you going?" Situ Jie also sensed that something was wrong, and subconsciously took Shen Shifang's hand and prevented the latter from leaving.
Shen Shifang's heart was beating wildly, his feet seemed to be a little numb, and he couldn't move, his eyes glanced at Situ Jie's pretty face, and then turned to look at the hand holding him.
Situ Jie followed Shen Shifang's eyes and saw oh my God! Why was this? When did he become so close to him?
She didn't know it herself, so she withdrew her hand in surprise, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look directly at Shen Shifang.
Shen Shifang smiled, took out the thorn cloud and handed it to Situ Jie, he said, "I'll go and see, you hold the thorn cloud." Don't worry, I'm not going far, I'm right there for you. ”
When Shen Shifang finished speaking, Situ Jie only felt that his heart was very sweet, and he reached out to take the thorn cloud, and watched Shen Shifang's back walk out of the carriage door.
After Shen Shifang went out, he saw that the people in front of him also stopped, watching the people in front of him and one horse coming towards the convoy.
When the visitor approached, someone recognized him.
So Hua Xi and Liang Mu fell off the carriage, and Geng Ziyu and others followed closely behind and helped the people on the horse.
Shen Shifang patted Xiao Yang on the shoulder, signaling him not to leave and protect Situ Jie. Then he walked towards the crowd in front of him, taking out his medicine as he went.
When he approached, he already recognized that this was the senior brother of the inner gate. He had multiple wounds on his body, his mouth was also overflowing with bright red blood, and his face was pale.
Shen Shifang saw that Hua Xi didn't say a word, and used his skills to help the inner disciples heal. In less than a moment, the inner disciple regained his blood color and lost his paleness.
Shen Shifang handed Hua Xi a Hundred Leaf Rejuvenation Qi Pill, and then washed the wound of the inner disciple with strong wine, and then sprinkled the knife wound medicine.
"What's going on?" Liang asked when he saw that the inner disciple had recovered.
"Fourth Senior Uncle, I and the other four junior disciples are monitoring Lihuo Ling, and knowing that they are heading to your route to intercept them, they want to send the news separately.
It's a pity that they found out, and the five of us were strongly besieged by Lihuoling, and I was the only one who could break through in the end. When the inner disciple said this, he was already a little speechless.
"And then?" Hua Xi and Liang Yu glanced at each other, and urgently needed to get accurate information.
"I arrived here ten miles away last night, but unfortunately I was wounded, so I had to wait there to find you today.
But he was suddenly chased by the troops from the front line of Huoling, and broke out at the risk of death. By the way, they're almost there, so you get out of here. The inner disciple said with some anxiety.
"Don't panic, how many people are there?" asked Hua Xi comforting him.
"There are about 200 people, most of them elite. ”
Hua Xi couldn't help but be surprised, how could he have expected that more than 200 people would be dispatched to intercept them?
Looking at the people around him, they were all timid and discussed.
"More than 20 people against more than 200 people, isn't that suicide?"
"But no, why don't you get out of here?"
"I can't go, they are all fast horses, we are just carriages, so cumbersome, how can we escape? ”
All kinds of opinions were endless, causing Hua Xi to shake his head.
I am no longer calm in my heart, how much combat power do I have?
When he swept over everyone's faces, he found that Shen Shifang was very calm, standing there expressionlessly.
So he asked, "What do you think?" Hua Xi said.
He recently learned that this young person is not simple, not only is he extremely intelligent, but he is even a person who is dozens of years old.
A gleam flashed in Shen Shifang's eyes, and he said, "I can't leave, they're here." ”
The deafening sound of horses' hooves is coming from all over the world......
