Chapter 522: The Tribulation of the Three Forks (1)

Fifty miles to the west of Huashan, there is a three-way pass, which is located between the barren mountains and wild mountains, and the terrain is very remote.

Although the road is rough and potholes are difficult to navigate, there are many traders and pawns who come and go.

Since this place is not an official road, there will be no officials and officials blocking the road and setting up cards, which can save a lot of money for people who come and go from the south to the north.

Although there are occasional robbers, there are not many opportunities to encounter them. For those who walk outside all year round, taking risks has long been commonplace.

Where there are people, there is business, and Sanchakou is no exception.

A simple tea shed that can no longer be simple, and a dilapidated tea shed that can no longer be dilapidated, is the most prosperous business in Sanchakou.

All the color of large-leaf tea, a penny a bowl. But anyone who passes through the three forks of the road will rest their legs and feet in the tea shed nine times out of ten, and patronize the business of the shop by the way.

From sunrise to sunset, in this shabby and humble tea shed, you can always see groups of guests, walking and coming, south, south, and north, in an endless stream.

September 12, noon.

Although it is autumn, the scorching sun is still scorching the earth.

In the tea shed at the fork of the road, the vendors resting on the table talked boastfully.

At a table in the corner, a slender young man leaned lazily on a three-legged chair, a large hat covering his face, shielding him from the harsh sunlight and his countenance.

The half bowl of tea on the table had already cooled, and this person was accompanied by the laughter and scolding around him, and he actually slept with his head covered, snoring from time to time.

The owner is a pair of nieces and uncles, the uncle is in his early forties, but he has been sleeping in the open all year round, and he has suffered from the vicissitudes of life, so that his swarthy face is furrowed and furrowed, and he looks to be in his sixties.

The girl is twenty-eight years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth, but she is quite beautiful. It's just that the dress is very plain, and the beautiful face is rubbed with a few pieces of mud, which looks a little sloppy.

In fact, the girl's "dirty" dress is a means of self-preservation.

After all, young girls who show their heads in the wilderness all day long will inevitably get into trouble if they are too outstanding.

Half an hour ago, the young man came to the three forks, and as long as he wanted a bowl of tea, he threw the girl a silver ingot.

At this point, his bowl of tea had not yet been drunk, and the man had already fallen asleep.

Although the girl had been busy pouring tea and water, her curious and smart eyes looked at the young man from time to time.

Occasionally, the girl hurriedly carried the teapot and tiptoed to the young man's table.

She first poured half a bowl of herbal tea, and then poured new tea for it, with a gentle movement, as if she was afraid of disturbing the young man's good dreams.

"Girl, the sun is scorching, I finally waited for the tea to cool, but you poured it on me, and now I have a bowl of hot tea, let me know how to eat"

Before the girl could fill the tea, a joking voice suddenly came from under the hat.

The girl was startled, her hand was inaccurate for a moment, and the hot tea poured out of the teacup in an instant, flowing down the tilted table towards the young man's body.

"Yikes"

The girl exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously reached out to block it.

Unexpectedly, the young man waved his sleeves with lightning speed, and a soft energy swept out, forcing the tea on the table to flow back, turning into a drop of water in the blink of an eye, and flying in the opposite direction.

"Childe, I'll dry another bowl for you"

"Don't be nervous, girl, I'll just laugh with you. ”

After that, the young man stretched his limbs lazily, like waking up from a big dream. Strange to say, the chair under him was obviously only three legs, but it was solid, and no matter how he tossed it, he didn't shake it at all.

Under the girl's incredulous and surprised gaze, the young man slowly lifted the hat in front of him, revealing a handsome face.

This person is Wu Shuang, who escaped from the camp in the west overnight.

Graceful, handsome man in the wind of Yushu. A charming, both good and evil.

The girl who was not deeply involved in the world couldn't help but be stunned, and under Wu Shuang's gaze, the deer in her heart collided, and at the same time, a touch of blush flew on her cheeks.

The girl realized her gaffe, hurriedly gathered her mind, and hurriedly asked, "Childe, you have been resting here for half an hour, don't you need to hurry?"

"I'm waiting for someone. Wu Shuang picked up the tea bowl and blew it gently, and said with a light smile, "I promised him, I will not see him." ”

"Childe is so patient, but," the girl asked curiously, "but I'm waiting for my sweetheart."

"Driving, driving"

"Phew"

Before the girl's voice fell, a messy and rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the direction of Huashan.

Immediately afterward, a dozen fast horses galloped around the three carriages. Everywhere you pass along the way, there is a burst of sand and dust that covers the sky and the sun, causing pedestrians on the road to complain and curse repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, the horse team swept like a gust of wind to the fork in the road. Tightening the reins, the horse's hooves raised high, and a burst of neighing, attracted a side-eyed gaze in the tea shed.

"Dock master, we have arrived at the three forks, this place is at least fifty miles away from Huashan, and it is very remote, I think it is impossible for the Tartars to catch up, you come down and rest."

A burly man walked quickly to the second carriage with a look of awe and respectful words.

"Help me down. ”

There was silence for a long time, and a weak voice came from inside the car.

Hearing this, the burly man hurriedly lifted the curtain and carefully helped the people in the car down.

Jin Fuyu, who was pale, seemed to be unaccustomed to the dazzling sunlight for a while, and hurriedly covered the top of his head with his sleeves, while his eyes narrowed slightly, quietly looking around him.

Leng Yiyi took the lead in entering the tea shed and carefully inspected each teapot with a very rigorous attitude.

Wen Lian was too seriously injured, so he could only recuperate in the carriage, and it was inconvenient to get out of the carriage.

When Jin Fuyu's afterglow inadvertently swept to Wu Shuang in the corner of the tea shed, he was stunned for a moment, and then a smile of reunion of old friends quickly appeared on his face, and he raised his feet and walked towards him.

"I didn't expect to meet Wu Shaoxia here, it seems that you and I are really fateful. ”

With a burst of elegant laughter, Jin Fuyu came to Wu Shuang. He didn't sit down directly, but reached out and pointed slightly at the stool next to the table, as if seeking Wu Shuang's meaning.

"Lord of the Golden Dock, Please"

Wu Shuanglai did not refuse, and at the same time motioned to the girl to pour tea for Jin Fuyu, and said with a smile, "It's rare to have a fate, today's tea, I invite"

"How can you let Wu Shaoxia break the bank" Jin Fuyu sat down and waved his hand to refuse.

Leng Yiyi understood, quickly took out a gold ingot from his waist and stuffed it into the girl's hand, and ordered, "This son's tea money is mine, leave the teapot, you can go down." ”

With that, before the girl could excuse herself, the burly man unceremoniously snatched the teapot from her hand and pushed it three meters away.

While talking and laughing, more than a dozen disciples of Jin Jianwu had already guarded this tea shed.

In the tea shed, eight big men in the shape of a man in twos and twos, horizontal knives standing around the table. One by one, the fierce gods were fierce, and the other tea customers were shocked, and the noise gradually subsided a lot.

Seeing this, Wu Shuang just smiled slightly, but didn't ask much.

"Wu Shaoxia is not from the west" Jin Fuyu took a sip of tea and asked casually, "The Jade Dragon Palace of Tianshan Mountain is also in the west, I don't know what its relationship with Wu Shaoxia is"

"What does the Lord of the Golden Dock mean by this?"

"I'm just asking. Jin Fuyu said with a smile, "This is the west of Huashan, if Wu Shaoxia's home is not in the west, why did he come here?"

Wu Shuang raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Then what about you, Jingjiang Mansion is obviously in the south, why did the Lord of Jinwu flee west?"

The word "escape", Wu Shuang deliberately accentuated his tone, which made Leng Yiyi dissatisfied, and the disciples of Jin Jianwu glared at him angrily.

Jin Fuyu was still calm, and seemed to be unaware of Wu Shuang's "faux pas", and said bluntly, "I'm not afraid of Wu Shaoxia's jokes, in fact, Jin is going west, and it seems that he is willing to seek the near and far, but in fact, he is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages." ”

"What do you mean," Wu Shuang teased, "Could it be that the famous Jinwu master would also use this childish trick to confuse the ears and eyes of the Mongols?"

"Haha" Jin Fuyu looked up to the sky and laughed at himself, "What is the famous Jin Fuyu today, it is tantamount to a rat crossing the street and a lost dog." It's not easy to steal a living, and it's not naΓ―ve to talk about."

Although Jin Fuyu's words are free and easy, his laughter is full of bitterness and helplessness.

In this section, Wu Shuang, Leng Yiyi and others all know it.

"Everyone in the world knows that Jin Jianwu is in the south, so those who want to kill me will definitely lay an ambush in the south. If I go south, will I not fall into a snare for myself?"

Jin Fuyu said something in his words, he only said "the person who wants to kill me", but did not specify that it is "Mongolian". The implication is that there are other people besides the Mongols who also want to put them to death.

Wu Shuangchai couldn't break it, so he pretended to be at a loss and said, "The further west you go, the more Mongolian soldiers and horses, isn't the Jinwu Lord afraid?"

"The most dangerous places are often the safest. Jin Fuyu smiled lightly, "Jin was forced to have no choice but to make this decision." What's more, the danger in the west is not only for Jin, but also for others. In contrast, Jin is thoughtful. ”

"What do you say?"

"Don't you really know Wu Shaoxia" Jin Fuyu's deep eyes stared straight at Wu Shuang, as if to penetrate his heart, "I and Luo Tianjin have always been incompatible, and now that he is elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance, how can I live a stable life?"

"The Lord of the Golden Dock means that you not only have to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Mongol army, but also avoid Luo Tianjin's pursuit and kill you to flee west, the purpose is to make Luo Tianjin jealous" General Wu Shuang was suspicious and teased, "The Lord of the Golden Dock acts like this, it is inevitable that there is some villain's heart."

"Wu Shaoxia didn't know that Luo Tianjin's cunning was far more terrifying than that of a Tartar. Jin Fuyu's face was treacherous, and without waiting for Wu Shuang to answer, he suddenly changed his words, and said, "Of course, our martial arts alliance leader may not be as despicable and shameless as I thought, maybe it is my villain's heart." But in any case, being prepared is never a bad thing. ”

"The Lord of the Golden Dock is worthy of being on par with the King of the Northern Sages, and he is really far-sighted and has no last resort. ”

Wu Shaoxia's words shamed me. Jin Fuyu waved his hand again and again, "If I have no last resort, I should be the leader of the Jin Alliance today, not the leader of the Luo League." In the final analysis, compared with the leader of the Luo League, Jin is one move behind after all. Huh"

Looking at Jin Fuyu, who had not recovered from his injuries and was smiling, Wu Shuang's heart suddenly moved, and he asked meaningfully, "You tell me all your thoughts, aren't you afraid that I will tell Luo Tianjin?"

"I have learned from Qin San that Wu Shaoxia contributed a lot to last night's incident. Jin Fuyu smiled nonchalantly, "Count it out, Jin's cheap life was saved by Wu Shaoxia." If you want to kill me, you can directly take off my head and ask Luo Tianjin for credit, and Jin will never resist. ”

After saying that, Jin Fuyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Shuangsi, the smile on his face was still the same, and even brighter.

Wu Shuang stared at Jin Fuyu without hesitation, and asked word by word, "Lord Jinwu is serious."

A rhetorical question immediately aroused the vigilance of Leng Yiyi and the group of Jin Jianwu disciples, who stroked the hilt of the sword with their hands, and stared at Wu Shuang without blinking.

As long as he dares to be disrespectful to Jin Fuyu, he will attack him in an instant.

Jin Fuyu was not shocked, steady as Mount Tai, and said firmly, "Every word is true." ”

Suddenly, the blazing air became chilly, and the atmosphere in the tea shed seemed to fall to freezing point in an instant.

The father and daughter of the shopkeeper and other tea customers felt a chill down their spine for no reason. Let the scorching sun shine in the sky, but their faces are covered in cold sweat.

"There is a fish that slips through the net at the fork of the fast"

Suddenly, a loud shout sounded out of thin air like thunder.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of strong and powerful horses' hooves came from the mountains in all directions.

The sound comes from far to near, just in the blink of an eye. When everyone followed the sound and watched and wanted to find out, hundreds of Mongolian iron horsemen wearing armor and holding scimitars had already blocked the water around the tea shed at the three forks, and the wind and rain were impenetrable.

"The news is correct, the people from Jinjianwu are really here"
