The sky was gray.

The sound of the rain was dripping, and it was already a lot smaller.

Inside the dilapidated and cramped stone house, the light is dim.

Except for a few irregular shallow pits, there are only four walls, and it is difficult to tell what it was used for.

This is not only the case with this stone house, but also with the entire Qili kiln.

Since they were abandoned, they have been deprived of their life and will only be slowly forgotten.

A living thing is a dead thing.

However, two "dead things" were added to this dead thing.

These two "dead things" leaned against the wall, sitting on the ground, not moving, as if they melted into the darkness, and became one with the whole stone house.

Only a few extra wisps of warmth in the room, and three subtle snorts, can prove that these two "dead things" are not "dead things".

Rather, three living people.

The three of them are Ning Mad of Tingyu Pavilion, and the objects that he and his companions need to protect on this trip, Niu Kelian and Xiaohua.

Some of his companions are dead, and some are still at war.

The little flower snuggled up in the thick and warm arms of Niu Kelian.

Although the rain in late spring is still a little chilly, it is not as chilling as what happened today.

Therefore, even if he can hide in the arms of the person next to him, those bright and bright eyes do not seem to be comforted at all, always blinking uneasily, and more often always looking in one direction.

In that direction sat a "coachman" who had been driving the carriage for them all night.

The "coachman" is crazy, and he is already a big man, but he likes to fight with people like an old child.

In fact, Xiaohua can see that these brothers and sisters are playing in different ways, just to make her not feel bored and boring.

Just like at this point, they need to be quiet.

Ning Mad was the quietest of the three, and the one who looked like a dead thing.

Whether it was Niu Kelian or Xiaohua, they were more or less curled up, only he was paralyzed against the wall as if his whole person had been torn apart.

It's just that among the three of them, there will be some "big noises" from time to time, but he is also him.

From time to time, he would clench his teeth and make a small grinding sound.

Every now and then, there would be a heavy, short wheezing sound.

Fortunately, as he spread his limbs completely, the temperature of his entire body slowly cooled, and the less he made those sounds.

Fortunately, the sound of falling rain was enough to drown out his "big movements".

It is even more insignificant than the strong wind that blows through the broken corners of the house from time to time.

Just like this stone house, which is small enough and broken enough, it should be insignificant and inconspicuous in this Qili kiln.

There will never be a person who chooses such an uncomfortable place to hide.

But the two footsteps stopped outside the house.

After a while, five or six more footsteps approached, and they all stopped outside the stone house.

Hearing the movement outside the house, Niu Kelian sighed.

Slowly pushed the little flower in her arms to sit aside, and gently patted her on the back twice, teaching her not to worry.

A woman's voice sounded outside the house at the right time.

"General Niu, what's the matter?"

"That lord in Yujing is just asking you to go back, not asking for your life. ”

"He said, if you don't like the sea breeze blowing in Jinzhou City, he can arrange a good place for you to live in the secluded capital, and he also promised to entertain you and your good girl, why hide in Tibet, and hide in this place where there is not even a ghost to suffer?"

"On this rainy day, it's covered in mud and water, it's not easy for anyone, it's not too late now, go back to the town with us, wash well, sleep comfortably, how about we leave for Youjing tomorrow?"

Without any accidents, the first two people to stand outside the dilapidated stone house were the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd.

The six people who came later were driven back by Jiang Yichen, and the eighteen people were divided into six groups to search for the traces of the Niu family's father and daughter.

"That group" was originally trained by the imperial court, and the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd should have been invited by the imperial court.

As for the power under the imperial court, it is not yet known.

"Noise!"

Ning frantically swung his right fist and slammed it on his leg, trying to wake up his already stiff limbs as soon as possible.

He's going to get back up and fight.

But he didn't know that his fists didn't have much strength, and he didn't know that his voice was so small that it couldn't be heard outside the house.

Niu Kelian stood up, waved his hand at him, and opened the thin wooden door.

Before walking out of the door, Niu Kelian glanced at Xiaohua again.

Xiaohua didn't say anything, and those incomparably bright eyes in the darkness were telling Niu Kelian that she believed him.

It's just that the worry in my heart still makes the tears flow down my face.

"General, general......" Ning Mad still wanted to persuade Niu Kelian.

But Niu Kelian only replied with a full smile from the two people in the room, and walked out of the stone house and closed the wooden door again.

Looking at the battle outside the stone house, Niu Kelian was silent for a long time.

Compared to the so-called Weaver Girl Cowherd, he was more interested in the six black-clad masked people who were all armed with strange weapons, although he looked at them twice.

After all, the Weaver Girl Cowherd is a Jianghu person, but these six people are genuine court minions.

Can the wounds of all kinds of ills left by the three years of war in foreign countries be repaired in less than 20 years?

No, Niu Kelian doesn't think so.

However, under such circumstances, there are still people in the imperial court who have the intention to cultivate such forces and disturb the balance of the entire Zhongzhou martial arts.

Sure enough, a considerable number of people in this court are not well-intentioned now!

Niu Kelian turned his gaze back to the Weaver Girl.

The rain made the dark long skirt cling to the weaver girl's body, but the figure without twists and turns could only be used as four words.

Skinny and bones.

However, it is undeniable that this forty-year-old woman is tall enough, and she is not much better than Niu Kelian.

As for the person behind the Weaver Girl, although he was hunched and his hands were about to hang down to the ground, he still had to be a head taller than the Weaver Girl.

The giant man's eyes were blank, but as long as the pestle was there, it made people feel as if a mountain was pressing on his chest.

From Ning Maan's mouth, I learned that the giant man was a stupid person, who was rescued by the Weaver Girl when he was young, and gradually grew into her thug.

The Weaver Girl, the Cowherd, only the Weaver Girl can be listed as the Fourteen Evildoers, because the Cowherd is useless without the Weaver Girl, and he is slaughtered.

In the past, there were idlers who ranked the strength of the Fourteen Wicked Ones, and the Weaver Girl ranked third, just because she was always accompanied by a cowherd.

Ning Mad also said that the fourteen wicked people all have strange temperaments, and few of them can be invited.

Niu Kelian didn't think so, the fourteen wicked people are also human beings after all.

If you are a human being, you have seven emotions and six desires, and you will have all kinds of interests and needs, as long as you do what you like and promise heavy profits, you can make ghosts grind.

Now it seems that his judgment was good.

It's just that he was also a little curious, who was it, and what kind of promise was made to invite this pair of wicked people.

So Niu Kelian opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know which adult has the intention to invite me, a grass people, to enjoy the prosperity and wealth?"

Weaver Girl said: "There is an unwritten rule in the rivers and lakes not to sell your employer status casually. The general will know as soon as I go to Youjing. ”

Niu Kelian threw out the next question and said, "What benefits did that lord promise you?"

The Weaver Girl didn't intend to hide it this time, and said bluntly: "My Ah Lang contracted a strange disease last year, and he couldn't be cured of it in many places. The adult happened to have a pill in his hand, and he divided half of it and took it with my family, and it did get better, and after careful inspection, there were no other side effects. For the remaining half of the pill, we have to ask the general to come with us. ”

"I see. Niu Ke was clear, and then said, "The place where Niu went on this trip is the Lingnan Medicine Valley, it is reported that the medical status of the Medicine Valley in the rivers and lakes is second to none, the girl may wish to take your family to the Medicine Valley with me, let the medicine old man make a detailed diagnosis, Mo Yin only a pill delayed the treatment." ”

"It's kind of interesting, the general who didn't promise to lead troops to fight would also be a man of good speech. It's just that not everyone can go to the medicine valley, and the medicine elder is not treated by everyone, so it is better to gamble on the indefinite number, but it is better to take half of the things that have been eaten. ”

A voice sounded on the eaves of the opposite roof, and at some point there was a man in a yellow shirt and a black crown with gold stripes on his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, the weapons of the six men in black had already beckoned towards him.

After a clanging sound, the man in the yellow shirt had retreated to the wall farther away.

Channel in the mouth: "Stay, stay!"

Seeing that the man in the yellow shirt had never drawn his sword, the weaver girl slapped her hand twice to make the man in black stop the attack.

"Now that you've been beaten back and all your men are dead, what's the point of coming here?"

"Hehe, those mud that can't support the wall, it's a pity to abandon it, die here, not only to rectify the family style, but also to prove the reputation of loyalty, why not? I came here just to let others know that my Yu family has come, and I Yu Le has also come, and I have done my best. ”

"To the point, I'm not interested in knowing the dirty thoughts of your family. ”

"The task passed down to the family above is to kill General Niu, but since you want to bring him back, then I'll just take a look. ”

"See?" the Weaver Girl withdrew her gaze disdainfully, and instead stared at the dark corner not far from the stone house, "You also came to see it?"

A figure slowly emerged from the dark corner.

The man had gray hair, was short and thin, and wore a black hood to cover the lower half of his face.

Before the short and thin man could speak, Yu Le opened his mouth: "The little girl's blood is from yin to softness to purity, presumably Gu seniors are here for deliciousness." ”

Gu Ye didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing to Yu Le's statement.

Yu Le's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with a smile: "However, I don't know if General Niu is willing to sacrifice his daughter?" ”

Niu Kelian did not answer Yu Le, and this time the answer was obviously no.

Yu Le asked the Weaver Girl again, "What do you think of the Weaver Girl's seniors?"

The Weaver Girl glanced at the Cowherd beside her and said, "As long as General Niu doesn't agree, Ah Lang and I will naturally keep his daughter safe." ”

Yu Le said with a smile: "It seems that the juniors are fortunate to see the seniors who are ranked in the third or fourth of the fourteen evildoers compete tonight." ”

The Weaver Girl also smiled and said, "Little cub, don't be happy too early, these little officials were beaten back by a passing swordsman, I think that those people should also arrive at this time, I don't know if your sword may suppress the sword of the passing swordsman?"

A cold glint flashed in Yu Le's eyes, and he said, "There is such a thing?"

As if to confirm the Weaver Girl's statement, the sound of fighting was already heard in the distance.
