Volume 3 Looking Northwest Chapter 75 Chasing the Shadow
As soon as the words fell, from behind a big tree on the side of the road more than ten zhang away, a young woman came out, only to see her wearing a royal blue silk shirt, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, it was Zhu Xibing who was dressed as a man.
"Miss Zhu?" Long Shaoyang was stunned, stepped forward, and said in surprise, "So you-" He immediately understood that the Miss Zhu person in front of him had already arrived, but he just hid behind the tree and watched from afar, and did not show up. In addition to being surprised, he was also happy, but he also had some doubts.
"So what happened to me?" Zhu Xibing said with a grin, "It turns out that I arrived a long time ago, right? Yes, I arrived in less than three watches." Miss Ben has always been punctual, how could she miss an appointment?" said and glanced at Long Shaoyang intentionally or unintentionally.
Long Shaoyang was puzzled: "Since you have already arrived, why are you hiding behind a tree and refusing to show up?"
Zhu Xibing's face sank and said, "Miss Ben is willing." Why, wait for me for a while or three, and my heart will be unhappy?"
Long Shaoyang remembered that Cheng Bo was injured, and he didn't want to entangle with her, so he changed the topic, and said coldly: "Miss Zhu invited late at night, I don't know what is going on? ”
Zhu Xibing didn't get angry when he heard this, he snorted and said, "I asked you to come tonight for two things. Don't worry, after you make things clear, Miss Ben won't pester you. This first thing has just been done. ”
Long Shaoyang tilted his face to the side and didn't ask.
Zhu Xibing saw that he didn't react, and continued: "The first thing is to let you suffer the pain of wronging others. ”
Long Shaoyang's eyes lit up, turned his head, and said, "That's why you just came here but refused to show up - it turns out that you are deliberately playing tricks on me." ”
Zhu Xibing said: "Who told you to wronged me? Although I Zhu Xibing is a woman, I have never done dark things, what I did was done, and what I didn't do was what I didn't do." If someone is wronged, that feeling is worse than killing me. ”
Long Shaoyang said lightly: "Well said." In this way, the attack on the east of the city was wronged by Long?"
Zhu Xibing said: "Not bad. That's the second thing I'm going to do tonight. ”
Long Shaoyang pondered for a moment and said "Okay". took out the square piece of peiyu from his waist, pinched it between his fingers, and said: "Before Long Mou finds the real murderer, I should not keep this piece of peiyu, and it will be returned to its original owner." ”
Zhu Xibing was taken aback, looked at Long Shaoyang in a daze, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that you still doubt me." Hmph, but there is absolutely no reason to take back the things that Miss Ben sent. If you don't like this piece of jade, give it away or throw it away. ”
Long Shaoyang saw that she refused to take back Peiyu, under the hazy moonlight, her originally pretty face was full of pain and grievance, and he couldn't help but feel soft, hesitated for a while, put Peiyu back on his waist, and said: "In this case, this piece of Peiyu is not kept by me for Miss for the time being, and he will return it one day." As he spoke, he turned around and strode towards the inn.
He had just taken more than ten steps, only to hear Zhu Xibing stomp his feet behind him and shout: "Long Shaoyang, you stop!"
Long Shao stopped, but did not look back.
Zhu Xibing quickly chased after him, blocked in front of Long Shaoyang, stretched out his right hand, and said angrily: "The words are not finished yet, you can't go!"
Long Shaoyang was about to push her arm away, when he suddenly saw a black shadow on the high wall of the post house in the distance, like a lonely Hong in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help but be startled. Zhu Xi Bing saw something strange when he landed, turned around, and looked at Long Shaoyang's gaze.
I saw another black shadow flash by, floating in the direction of the previous black shadow.
Long Shaoyang exclaimed: "What kind of person, martial arts are so high, the third watch goes in and out of the post house in the middle of the night?
Zhu Xibing was also surprised, glanced at Long Shaoyang and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a group of guards and Brother An to protect him, so there will be no mistakes." Let's go, Brother Long, let's follow and take a look!"
Long Shaoyang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." He immediately jumped into his body and ran in the direction where the black shadow had gone.
The two of them ran wildly all the way. Long Shaoyang saw that Zhu Xibing's skills were not good and he was gradually falling behind, so he stretched out his right hand, grabbed her left hand, and asked her to use her strength to walk side by side with him. Zhu Xibing did not refuse, and held it tightly, so that it did not fall.
At this time, the moonlight was faint, the street was empty, the two black shadows were very tall, but their skills were extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, they had crossed several streets, followed by several secluded alleys, seeing that the lights were fading, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, but there was no intention of stopping.
Long and Zhu fell far behind, and they were secretly surprised: "The two people in front are not only extremely fast, but they are also obviously very familiar with the street layout, terrain and landform in Liangzhou City, and they have no sense of stagnation in the dark night. ”
Seeing two black shadows one after the other, he continued to move forward, turned an alley, and disappeared in a flash. Long and Zhu rushed up and found that it was a half-collapsed gap in the city wall, and it turned out that two black shadows had gone out of the city from here.
The two became more and more puzzled, looked at each other silently, and ran out.
At this time, the night was deep, and under the hazy moonlight, there was silence all around, and the two of them had wind on their sleeves and walked like flying, far behind the two black shadows. Seeing that the two black shadows came out of the city wall, turned to the northwest, and traveled seven or eight miles, the terrain gradually rose and lowered, and after another four or five miles, the two black shadows suddenly disappeared behind a hillside.
Long and Zhu chased to the front of the hillside, and were about to cross over, when they suddenly heard the sound of talking faintly from behind the slope. Long Shaoyang hurriedly took Zhu Xibing's hand, bowed and lay in the wild grass, paused for a moment, and then cautiously sneaked forward.
The turtle walked to the top of the slope at a high speed, and Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing slowly poked their heads out.
At this time, the surroundings were hazy, Long Shaoyang stared at it, and saw two people standing on the gentle slope not far in front of him, standing opposite each other at a distance of two or three zhang. The man stood with his back to him, unable to see him. The man in the distance was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only two eyes. Both of them are burly, judging from their figures, they are the two black shadows in front of them.
Long and Zhu couldn't help but gasp: if Fang Cai didn't stop and crossed the hillside directly, he was afraid that he would collide with these two people head-on, and his whereabouts would be impossible to hide. Then he thought again: "These two people are really thoughtful, although the terrain of this gentle slope is at a disadvantage, but the surrounding situation is unobstructed, except for a layer of barren grass on the ground, there is no place to hide, and they are not afraid of others lurking and eavesdropping." The two of them came here in the middle of the night, obviously to talk about some confidential matter, what is it?"
The two stood opposite each other, the night wind blowing, the sleeves of their clothes flew, and after a long time, no one spoke.
Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing held their breath and didn't dare to move. At this moment, I only heard a man's voice say: "Your Excellency took great pains to lead An to this place late at night, and I don't know what to learn?"
As soon as these words came out, Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing couldn't help but be surprised: both of them had already heard that it was the person standing with his back to him who was standing nearby, and this was the voice of quiet thought. He glanced at each other and then looked behind the slope.
The man in black in the distance listened, and said, "Your Excellency, what a word!" said a long roar in the sky, like a bell, and spread far away, and when it came later, there seemed to be a bit of desolation and sadness in the voice. At this moment, Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing listened to it in their ears, and they all had a sense of shuddering when they heard the night breeze around them.
Long Shaoyang listened to it and said in his heart: "Listening to the voice of this man in black, it seems to be a middle-aged man. ”
As soon as the whistle stopped, the man in black was like a civet cat, and suddenly flew and jumped, and he had been bullied in front of Jing Si, and without asking, his right palm turned into a fist and hit Jing Si directly.
The two of them were not far apart, and the man in black suddenly struck a blow, and he shot extremely fast, Long Shaoyang only felt that Zhu Xibing's hand in his hand suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but sweat for quiet thoughts in his heart.
But seeing Jing Si's feet slipping, he was on the side of his body, and he had easily avoided this punch. I only heard the man in black say "huh", as if he admired Jing Si's thunderous blow to avoid him. followed by a fist to a palm, and a horizontal cut to quiet thought.
This time, Jing Si didn't choose to avoid it, and immediately raised his right hand, palmed it to palm, and forcibly took the man in black. The man in black slapped his left palm, and when he saw this, he touched it with his left palm.
In an instant, the two of them had dismantled more than 20 moves.
Although the man in black changed his moves quickly, one move at a time, it seemed to be thunderous, but every move was only pointed, and he didn't seem to mean to hurt the other party. Jing Si also seemed to see the mind of the man in black, and so did every move. It seems that the two of them come and go, and they keep making moves, but they are like the master and apprentice feeding the moves.
Jing Si also seemed to intend to compete with the man in black in martial arts, and the man in black used his palm, so he used his palm. The man in black changed from palm to fist, and he changed with it. After fighting like this for a while, it is still difficult to solve.
Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing saw it in the grass, and couldn't help but secretly admire: "Quiet Thought's martial arts go without saying, known as the first warrior of Great Qi, but the martial arts of this black-clothed man in front of him seem to be still above Quiet Thought, Xiliang actually hides such a master?
The two were fighting with themselves, and the man in black suddenly retracted his palm and jumped back, turned over, stood on the ground, and said with a smile: "You kid, your martial arts are barely reasonable, haha, it really didn't insult the style of the An family!"
Jing Si bowed his hand and said, "Thank you seniors! Listening to the words of your seniors, it seems that you have a deep relationship with my family? Please give me advice!" He had already heard that the man in black was much older than himself, and he admired the martial arts of the man in black in his heart, so he immediately changed the title of "Your Excellency" to "senior", and showed respect.
The man in black said: "That's nature. I know everything about Anjia!"
Jing Siqi said: "Senior, since this is the case, the younger generation dares to ask, do you know your father?"
The man in black said: "Naturally, I know." ”
Quietly Sixi said: "The predecessors know the late father? That's really good! I didn't expect Xiliang and his party to meet the old friends of the late father!"
The man in black nodded and said, "Boy, do you want to see my true face?"
