Chapter 471: Twists and Turns

A winding, rugged mountain road, winding and winding, with no end in sight, no one knows where the end of this winding, rugged mountain road is?

A person's life is sometimes like this winding and rugged mountain road, and I don't know how many times I have to experience the twists and turns of life, the calamities of life, and the joys and sorrows of life.

However, life, like this winding and rugged mountain road, is not so easy to reach the end of life.

No matter how long the road is, it has an end.

But where is the end of one's life?

Some people have lived a life of inactivity and indifference.

Some people are destined to take responsibility from birth, and perhaps they came to this world with a mission.

Maybe he is here to save the common people, shouldering a great mission that no one can match!

Therefore, no matter how heavy the pressure on his shoulders is, he can only straighten his chest without regrets and move forward bravely.

Because he is different from ordinary people, he must move forward with a heavy load and complete his own responsibilities and missions.

The moonlight, which was originally hidden in the clouds, finally loomed from the dark clouds, and it was embarrassing to appear.

If there is nothing urgent and urgent, who would want to walk on this winding, rugged mountain road on this cold and windy night, insects and birds.

In the faint moonlight, two gray and white figures rode on two swarthy horses without a single hair, and they followed the winding and rugged mountain road, all the way forward leisurely.

In fact, they didn't know if this mountain road was the place they were going to this time, but they couldn't help but go.

Because they are the martial arts alliance leaders Ah San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman, who are worried about the country and the people, and are famous in the rivers and lakes.

"Third brother, let's go all the way along this winding and rugged mountain road, can we find our father and mother and them?" Nangong Manman was riding on a horse, and with the bumps of the rugged mountain road, he seemed to be a little sleepy, only to hear her continue: "If that carriage is not broken, maybe Manman will fall asleep in the carriage, how comfortable it should be!"

Nangong Manman said while fantasizing about the feeling of being drowsy in the carriage, but now, she was riding on the horse, but she didn't dare to really fall asleep, she was afraid that she would fall off the "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing Wind Horse" that she stepped off after falling asleep.

fell on her back, her face was blue and her nose was swollen, so she didn't want to show her indecent side in front of her sweetheart, Ah San Shaoxia, the leader of the Martial Arts League.

"Man Man, when the third brother was about to follow Huang Qingshan, the deputy head of the inner guard, the third brother prevented Huang Qingshan, the deputy head of the inner guard, from calculating the two of us!"

"Man Man doesn't know, Man Man thought at first that you were wrong to blame Huang Qingshan, the deputy head of the inner guard!" Nangong Man Man turned his head and looked at the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia and said: "Man Man was originally thinking that Huang Qingshan, the deputy head of the inner guard, was the one who helped his father to deliver the letter, how could he have anything?"

"The first time Huang Qingshan, the deputy head of the inner guard, saw us, he said that the emperor asked him to bring a letter to the two of us, and this is where the flaws are flawed, because where is the Marquis and you Nangong Manman, how can the emperor know so quickly? From this point, this marquis dared to conclude that what Huang Qingshan, the deputy head of the internal guard, said was a lie, he said this, there must be some conspiracy, otherwise how could the emperor give him any advice, asking us to follow him to the current emperor's military garrison or something!" And he came to the Zhenxi General Barracks to urge the guard commander Shan Changsheng and the spear battalion captain Chi Bagun to assassinate the Zhenxi General Shan Yingying Shan Da General as soon as possible. ”

"Third brother, do you mean that he steals chickens and rice, and his conspiracy has been discovered by you?" Nangong Manman said with that happy smile on his face: "Manman knows that your third brother has a lot of ghost ideas, and if he wants to hide anything from you, he will escape your third brother's eyes!"

"That's not it, it's just that it's in an extraordinary period now, and the third brother has to be cautious in doing things!" The martial arts alliance leader Ah San Shaoxia looked straight into the dark distance with his eyes, and then turned back to Nangong Manman and continued: "Manman, I don't know if there is a place to rest in front of you, otherwise we will really have to sleep in the open and wander in the wilderness tonight." ”

"Third brother, as long as I am with you, even if it is a meal and a wandering wilderness, Manman will feel happy!" Nangong Manman stepped down the peerless horse "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind Horse" with his legs between his legs at this time, and the peerless horse "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind Horse" of Pitong's humanity jumped forward violently, jumping out like an arrow off the string, and suddenly left the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia far behind her, only to hear Nangong Manman continue: " Third brother, you come to chase me, otherwise I will be so sleepy that I want to sleep, so I will gallop for a while, and maybe I won't doze off. ”

"Okay, Manman, the two of us haven't galloped like this for a long time, tonight the two of us will try the footsteps of these two peerless horses 'Ten Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind Horse'!" The rugged mountain road, jumping and jumping, and the sound of rapid horses' hooves resounded through the silent night, after the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia saw that he was about to catch up with Nangong Manman, he said loudly: "Manman, the terrain here is complicated, temporarily delay the horse's galloping, there is danger, let's slow down the horse's pace a little!"

With the ups and downs of this winding and rugged mountain road, and it is night, Nangong Manman can only slow down the pace of the peerless horse "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind Horse" in the gallop, otherwise maybe if you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff and the abyss.

"Third brother, I don't know how long this winding and rugged mountain road will take to come to an end, and I haven't seen a place to stay until now, it seems that the two of us are really going to sleep in the wilderness today!" Nangong Manman controlled the speed of stepping down this peerless horse "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind Horse", while looking back and forth on the horse's back, left and right, looking around, only to hear Nangong Manman continue with a depressed expression: "I knew that we would stay in the military camp of General Shan Da of Zhenxi until dawn before leaving." ”

"Manman, don't worry, what's so unhappy about having the third brother with you!" The martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia slowly drove his horse close to Nangong Manman on this winding, rugged, and narrow mountain road, and said: "Manman, maybe there may be someone in front of you, and then we will go to spend the night, barely spend the night, and leave as soon as dawn, what do you think?"

"Hehe, third brother, it would be good if there was really a family in front of us, but we have been walking on this winding and rugged mountain road for so long, and we haven't even touched a figure, where can we find a family?" Nangong Manman said bitterly with her white and beautiful face: "Third brother, don't try to comfort Manman, Manman can still endure this little hardship." ”

"Shhh, Manman, don't speak, the third brother seems to have really heard a human voice coming from the mountain, and it is not a person's voice, but I don't know where these people's voices came from!" At this time, the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia put the index finger of his right hand on his lips and made a forbidden expression to speak, and then he lowered his voice and continued: "The third brother followed the direction of the wind, and it seemed that he could hear that many people were gathered together and were guessing and drinking!"

"Third brother, look, there seems to be a temple built on the halfway up the mountainside where there is a bright light, could the voices of those people come from where did that temple come from?" Nangong Manman heard the words of the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia, held her breath, and as the peerless horse "Ten Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind Horse" that stepped down took her around a corner, she saw that in this meandering, There was a bright light on the halfway up the mountain on the side of the rugged mountain road, and under the faint moonlight, the temple built on the halfway up the mountain could also be seen clearly, Nangong Manman said excitedly: "Third brother, it seems that we have a place to stay tonight, and it is impossible to sleep in the wilderness." ”

"Okay, there will definitely be someone in the place where there is a bright light, we seem to be lucky, don't sleep in the wilderness!" "Martial Arts Alliance Leader Ah San Shaoxia looked into the direction of Nangong Manman's finger, and he saw that on the rugged and steep mountainside, there was really a little light, flashing and flashing, he concluded that this light must be artificial, so the martial arts alliance leader Ah San Shaoxia said to Nangong Manman: "Let's go, wait for you to walk behind the third brother, no matter what happens, don't speak, okay?"

"Third brother, I know, I won't cause trouble for you!" Nangong Manman smiled at the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia at this time, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, he only heard Nangong Manman continue: "Third brother, you lead the way for Manman in front, and Manman follows you closely." ”

The temple on the mountainside looks like it is right in front of you, but when you want to climb up, it seems that you can't go anywhere, and the more you go halfway up the mountain, the steeper the mountain road is, sometimes you have to get off the horse and lead the horse to climb up, fortunately, the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman They are people who practice martial arts, and these steep mountain roads are nothing in their eyes.

Maybe it was the second half of the night, or maybe it was the reason why the cold was heavier in the middle of the mountain, a cold wind swept by, Nangong Manman shivered, and hurriedly took out a silk scarf from the bag on horseback and wrapped it around his face.

Looking at the dilapidated temple in front of them, the martial arts alliance leader Ah San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman looked at each other and smiled.

The two of them climbed the rugged and steep mountain road for a long time, and they thought they could find a room where they could spend the night, but they didn't know that it was such a dilapidated temple.

The mountain gate of the temple has collapsed for a long time, and those bright lights are transmitted from the main hall of the temple to the winding and rugged mountain road below, and it turns out that in this dilapidated temple, there are now more than a dozen people gathered around a bonfire roasting some game, drinking the wine they brought with them.

"Friend, since you are here, please come in and bake the fire together. "When the leaders of the martial arts alliance, Ah San Shaoxia and Nangong Manman, were leading the horses and were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard an elderly and loud voice from the dilapidated hall in the temple and said loudly: "Friend, there may be only one dilapidated temple here to avoid the cold, friend, it's still early before dawn, why don't you come in and keep warm together!"

"In the next brother and sister because of the hurry to miss the place to stay, as the saying goes, it is better to meet by chance, since Your Excellency has repeatedly invited, it is better to obey your fate only if you are respectful!" Tied to a wooden stake, his eyes swept away, and he saw all the people who were drinking in this dilapidated temple hall, only to hear the martial arts alliance leader A San Shaoxia continued: "I have seen your predecessors in the next brother and sister!"

After speaking, Ah Sanshao, the leader of the martial arts alliance, bent his body slightly, pulled Nangong Manman to find a place to sit down in a place next to the bonfire, staring at the roaring bonfire with his eyes, and never said a word.

"Friend, seeing that the sister is carrying such a delicate long sword around her waist, she must also be a person in the rivers and lakes, and the dress of the sister is not an ordinary person, she is by no means a layman, I don't know what to call the virtuous brothers and sisters?" The voice of the bell sounded again: "The old man has lived outside the Saiwai for a long time, and I don't know that there are heroes in the interior of the Central Plains!"

"Don't dare, the brothers and sisters in the lower are not considered people on the rivers and lakes, just to strengthen the body and exercise occasionally, please don't treat me and other brothers and sisters as people on the rivers and lakes, so as not to move the etiquette on the rivers and lakes, and snub everyone here!" If you are disturbed, my brother and sister can sit outside!"

"Well, where did the lord who has no insight come from dare to talk to the owner of our 'Wanma Villa' like this? Could it be that he is impatient to live!" The sturdy, dark-skinned young man who sat next to the old man with a loud voice showed a look of disdain on his face and continued: "Let Er and others sit with the owner of our 'Wanma Villa', and it will spread to the rivers and lakes in the future. In the martial arts, don't be in the limelight, you really take yourself seriously, the owner of the village asked your name, and you dared not answer, it was really disrespectful!"

When Nangong Manman heard this sturdy, dark-skinned young man shouting at them, she was already unhappy in her heart, when had she ever been so angry? She couldn't help but put her hand on the hilt of the long sword with a white scabbard at her waist.

So, did the martial arts alliance leader Ah San Shaoxia let Nangong Manman draw his sword against this sturdy and dark-skinned young man?
