Chapter 8 Mountains and Rivers
Three days later.
Granny Gui took Yang Twenty Road south, taking all the mountain and forest paths, in fact, even she didn't know where she would end up with this silent child, but the first task was definitely to leave the Kunlun faction and the Qin King's sphere of influence.
On the evening of the third day, they came to the foot of a mountain only a dozen miles from the city of Hanzhou, and if they wanted to continue south, they had to pass through this great state city of the dynasty.
On the official road, an old and a young walked towards Hanzhou City.
At dusk, there are few people on the road, only some merchants hurrying to and fro, most of them also go into the city, and few people go out of the city to the north.
Because once you pass Hanzhou City and go to the northwest, it will take at least two days to travel with a carriage to reach Hantai County, even if it is a merchant traveler who goes to Liangzhou Mansion in Hexi, this Hanzhou City is also an inevitable place to stop horses and rest.
Just when Granny Gui and Yang Twenty had already seen the majestic city from a distance, a team of people and horses came in front of them, and it seemed that they were going to go north at night.
Granny Gui squinted vigilantly, looked carefully at the group of people walking on the opposite side, slowly relaxed her expression, and after not taking two steps, as if she suddenly remembered something, she instantly clenched the crutches in her hand, but her face did not change, and she continued to walk towards the city gate.
When she was about to meet with this team, Granny Gui seemed to take Yang Twenty's hand at random, but intentionally or unintentionally protected the child by her side, walked to the side of the road, and made way for the avenue.
When I got closer, I found that these warriors who looked dressed in rivers and lakes were led by a man in a Confucian shirt wearing a Confucian crown, about forty years old, like a scholar.
They also saw Yang Twenty and Granny Gui coming towards each other, and the two people who took the lead carefully looked at the old and the young.
The man wearing the crown suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, looked solemn, and asked with a fist: "Dare to ask this mother-in-law, where is she from, I don't know if there is a town ahead?"
Granny Gui didn't stop walking, didn't raise her head, and said hoarsely: "The old woman is from Hantai County in front of her, and she brought her grandson to the state city to join her family. ”
Immediately, the man's face was full of vigilance, and he said, "Listening to my mother-in-law's accent, I don't look like a local. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at a few people next to him, blocking the way in front of Yang Twenty and them.
Granny Gui stopped, pulled Yang Twenty behind her, her momentum changed, and she turned her head and asked, "Your Excellency?"
The person who took the lead didn't answer Granny Gui's question, but just looked at the two of them carefully from head to toe, squinted his eyes and asked, "May I ask if this child's mother is surnamed Xiong?"
After Yang Twenty heard this, he also looked up at this person, and actually knew his mother's surname, but Yang Twenty could see that this group of people was obviously not a good person, and he just wanted to see what these bad people looked like, so he didn't speak.
Yang Twenty probably won't know for a long time, these people not only know his mother's name, since a few days ago, his news has spread to some corners of most of the rivers and lakes.
But the man had already snorted coldly, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he laughed.
He didn't really want to ask for an answer.
Yang Twenty's reaction was the answer he wanted.
Unexpectedly, Granny Gui actually smiled and said with a slight sneer: "You group of thieves from the Daode Sect came quite quickly, it seems that you have not been idle in the past few years." ”
After being revealed by Granny Gui's words, the face of the man in the image of Confucianism changed slightly, and his tone was still flat, and he said: "Mother-in-law has good eyesight, since she has seen our origin, she must also know the purpose of our visit." ”
Granny Gui sneered: "I have only heard that you Daode Sect are all hypocrites full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, the bad water in your stomach is no different from that thief. ”
The man was not even angry, but still smiled: "I don't know what the mother-in-law has with my Dao Sect, since you are with this child, you must know his life experience." ”
Speaking of this, the man looked at Yang Twenty, who had been bowing his head and being silent, and he continued: "Now this kid is not an exaggeration even if it is said that he is embattled, my Daodaozong just wants to invite him back, treat him as a guest, and maybe teach him martial arts, and when he becomes an adult, he will return his freedom." ”
Granny Gui snorted unceremoniously and sneered: "You also say that you are not a thief full of benevolence and righteousness? This kid really wants to learn martial arts, is it your turn to be educated by the Daode Sect?"
The man was always patient, pondered for a moment, and spoke again: "Even if you take a step back, after his mother and that person took the lead in attacking the Demon Sect Stele Forest, relying on the memory of the two of them, they actually destroyed the Stele Forest before the other sects entered, which can be regarded as their great injustice, and now this child has karma, I am afraid that only my Dao Dao Sect can treat him with courtesy." ”
Granny Gui turned her head again and glanced at the man who spoke, and snorted coldly: "You still know a lot of things! The 'Demon Eradication War' back then was led by your Daode Sect, what kind of Demon Elimination Guardian Dao, it's not that you covet the Demon Sect's practice cheats, and the dog thieves of the Kunlun Sect instigated all walks of life in the rivers and lakes to go to death, but what in the end? Although the Demon Sect was destroyed, you were not a bamboo basket to draw water? It's really ridiculous. ”
The man laughed and said: "Mother-in-law, why should she reverse right and wrong and use strong words, for the demon sect and demons, the righteous people of my generation, everyone will be punished." ”
Granny Gui asked sharply: "Is the world really too peaceful then? Why is this innocent child homeless now?"
The man also became solemn, frowned, and said: "Mother-in-law, don't toast and don't eat and drink, the Daode Sect has no ill will towards this child, if the mother-in-law doesn't hand over this child, don't blame us for saluting first and then soldiering." ”
Granny Gui said disdainfully: "You sanctimonious hypocrites are not even as good as the dog thieves of the Kunlun faction, salute first and then soldier?"
Before the words fell, Granny Gui suddenly swept across, and immediately the man seemed to have expected that this old woman would burst out and kill, he raised his arms with both hands with sufficient internal force, and the whole person moved out three steps away with the side of the horse under the seat under the seat was pressed by a force, fortunately he had been prepared to unload this force.
And the two people who stood in front of Granny Gui were not so lucky, after two consecutive crutches, they were directly pierced through the heart by the end of the crutches, and Granny Gui jumped out with Yang Twenty.
But she didn't flee directly to the front of Hanzhou City, because there were four second-grade masters among these people, and the Confucian man who had just spoken to her was very likely to be a little grandmaster at the peak of the Six Realms, the most important point was that Hanzhou City was the boundary of the Qin King, if the people of the Kunlun faction had entered the city in advance, then they were chased and killed by this group of people all the way, and breaking into the city was almost a fanfare.
Granny Gui let go of Yang Twenty, raised her hand to cover her mouth, blood flowed from her fingers, she tilted her head slightly and admonished: "You run to the city first, leave your mother-in-law alone, you must remember, don't trust anyone." ”
Then she took a step forward and faced the Daode Sect and the others, blocking their way.
Yang Twenty's eyes were red, and he turned around and ran without saying a word.
The man in the Confucian shirt who took the lead was surprised, and suddenly said: "What a drastic method, it turns out that you are the osmanthus mother-in-law who has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and it seems that you have suffered a lot of injuries." ”
Granny Gui wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, snorted coldly, and stared at the few people in front of her.
Then the man in the Confucian shirt pointed to the three people next to him and said, "Wait a minute, you two go after that child, you quickly return along the road to report to the hall owner." ”
After that, the man flew away from the horse seat, and directly stretched out a palm to float towards Granny Gui, and the other three second-grade masters around him also tacitly attacked Granny Gui from the other three sides.
Granny Gui wanted to sweep backwards, intending to wait for an opportunity to deal with the three people who had just received the order first, but two forces had already attacked her from both sides behind her, forcing her to meet the blow of the man in the Confucian shirt head-on.
If she is facing the enemy on weekdays, where does Granny Gui, who has always been decisive in killing, need to be so timid, but with her current injury, there is no room for the slightest carelessness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is now at the end of the crossbow.
Granny Gui stopped on the ground, bounced up with her strength, and after slapping the man in the Confucian shirt in the air, she swept back again, turned around and swept towards the two people behind her.
Unexpectedly, the two of them actually attacked her up and down one after the other, and after a few rounds, she had already fallen behind, and these four people attacked and defended in an orderly manner, always surrounding her in the middle, obviously a set of formations.
If Granny Gui didn't guess wrong, it should be the closed door thief in the four-door formation.
No wonder the Daode Sect is looking for the traces of Yang Twenty and their mother and son, and now they are only sending a few second-grade masters to take the lead, so it is.
At this time, the three subordinates who had received the order just now had already jumped out, Granny Gui let out a long roar, rose from the ground, turned around in mid-air, swooped down, and pointed straight at the man in the Confucian shirt, although this time forced this person to retreat, but she still failed to break through the formation, and she couldn't stop the two people who chased Yang Twenty!
At this time, Granny Gui, who was facing the city gate, had bloodshot eyes, blood from the corners of her mouth couldn't help flowing, she looked up at Yang Twenty, who was about to run into the city gate, and slowly shed a tear, as if she had made a decision, she threw the cane in her hand and smashed it at the opposite person, and then suddenly rushed forward, the person dodged a crutch and handed it out with a punch.
Granny Gui didn't avoid it, so she let the punch hit her shoulder and shattered her bones.
But she slammed the knife into the man's heart, instantly pinching his heart, and the poor man didn't even have time to blink his eyes before he rushed to the Yellow Spring.
Granny Gui is still killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 herself.
Then she gritted her teeth and turned to pounce on the man in the Confucian shirt, the latter was full of horror, raised his right hand, put his fingers together to make a sword, volleyed all the way, a sword qi was like a substance, shot out, Granny Gui was in mid-air, at this time she couldn't avoid it, but tried her best to deviate from her body, and the sword qi passed through the right side of her heart.
A few steps away in a blink of an eye, the man in the Confucian shirt hurriedly smashed his fist on Granny Gui's chest, and Granny Gui sprayed a mouthful of blood on the man's face, and with the last bit of strength, she reached out and firmly hugged the man in the Confucian shirt, biting his throat in one bite.
Granny Gui slowly let go of her hands, looked up to the sky and fell, as if she saw the thin figure rushing into the city for a moment.
She grinned, as if she wanted to laugh.
At the last moment she muttered, "Miss...... Granny Katsura did her best ......"
