Chapter 40: Wanted

Previous Chapter

Xia Yuanyuan and Diao Wuji fought for the second time, and they are familiar with each other a lot, Diao Wuji has deep internal skills, Xia Yuanyuan's secret weapon is accurate, and the two of them have won the game. This time, Diao Wuji's palm was injured, and Xia Yuanyuan's internal breath was not completely straightened out, and the two did not dare to fight each other.

I saw the hidden weapon in Xia Yuanyuan's hand pouring out like rain, Diao Wuji used the black Wu hook to block left and right, and he couldn't step forward. Xia Yuanyuan knew that suppressing Diao Wuji was only temporary, and when the secret weapon was always used up, she shouted at Tang Xianzhong and Gu Baobao, "Don't leave yet!"

Only then did Tang and Gu react, and they fled in a hurry with a few cronies and soldiers. Diao Wuji roared, "Where to go!" Wu Hook flew and knocked down three thistles, and chased after the two. Xia Yuanyuan pinched eight plum blossom darts between her hands and ten fingers, and rushed out at the same time, six of which hit Diao Wuji's upper, middle and lower three ways, and the remaining two hit the foothold where she would not step on it. Diao Wuji scolded secretly, this woman is really difficult, the two Wu hooks formed a cross, turned up out of thin air, and shot down all eight plum blossom darts, but they were blocked like this, and Tang Xianzhong and the others ran away.

Diao Wuji knew that if he didn't solve Xia Yuanyuan, he would not be able to catch up with those officials. So he turned around and said to Xia Yuanyuan, "Sect Master Xia is a heroine among women, and I have always admired him tightly, my first task today is to get rid of those government officials, this faction and Qianjimen have no grievances in the near future, as long as Sect Master Xia is no longer entangled, how about we say goodbye?"

Xia Yuanyuan didn't talk immediately, but took out a signal fireworks from her arms, and released them in the air, she knew that the time was delayed, for fear that the other teams would suffer heavy losses, so she hurriedly released fireworks for them to evacuate. Seeing that she didn't answer, Diao Wuji raised his voice and said, "Sect Master Xia!"

Xia Yuanyuan said slowly, "Master Diao's words are soft, I can hear it." Diao Wuji looked extremely impatient and said, "Sect Master Xia, what do you think of what I said earlier. Xia Yuanyuan replied, "I'm afraid I will be unable to obey my fate, Qianjimen has always been chivalrous and righteous, when will it collude with the government." Diao Wuji's face turned blue, Wu Hook clenched his hands, and said, "Sect Master Xia, then let's see the true chapter under our hands." ”

Xia Yuanyuan took out a nail made of pure gold from her arms, held it in her hand and slowly rotated it, making it shine dazzlingly in the sunlight. Xia Yuanyuan squinted her eyes, looked at this nail and said, "Master Diao, I don't know if you have ever heard of the Deadly Nail and Mother Nail?" Diao Wuji looked awe-inspired, looked at the golden nail, and said, "Is this Deadly Nail held in the hand of Sect Master Xia?" I heard that this nail is an artifact in a hidden weapon, and the mother and son are linked, layered on top of each other, making people unguardable. Xia Yuanyuan smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Master Diao is really well-informed, I don't know if you can take this fatal nail according to your skills?"

Diao Wuji's face sank, and he replied, "Diao is willing to learn the secret weapon magic technique of Sect Master Xia. After speaking, Wu Hook immediately blocked his chest and waited for him.

Xia Yuanyuan didn't say a word, and the golden nail in her hand shot out sharply, flying towards Diao Wuji like an arrow from the string. Diao Wuji's eyes were like electricity, and his right hand Wu Hook swung straight ahead, which could hit the golden nail. The golden nail was hit, the nail head machine bracketed, and a smaller nail was shot out of it, Diao Wuji knew the trick of this nail, and he had already prepared, and when the nail flew in, the left hand Wu Hook followed up with another blow, and hit the nail hard. Diao Wuji sneered at the corner of his mouth, Xia Yuanyuan is old and her brain is not flexible, how can there be a reason to discuss with people before throwing a hidden weapon. Now that I know that this is a nail, if I can't hide it, I don't have to continue to mix in the rivers and lakes.

Who expected that the nail had just been shot down, and as soon as the nail head opened, another nail shot out. Diao Wuji's eyes widened, and he secretly shouted that it was not good, this golden nail was not an ordinary child and mother nail, it turned out to be a grandson nail, Xia Yuanyuan, this woman is really cheating. Sun Nail has arrived in front of him, Diao Wuji has nothing to stop, the internal breath is transported to the extreme, the soles of his feet are windy, and Shengsheng pulls it up to the left side, as if he threw the whole person out, and will avoid Sun Ding. Incredibly, as soon as the momentum of this Sun nail was exhausted, the nail head opened for the third time, and a very small steel nail shot out, chasing Diao Wuji. He was in mid-air, there was no way to avoid it, and his left shoulder suddenly suffered from severe pain, and he was hit by this "great-grandson nail".

Diao Wuji fell to the ground, blood spurting from his left shoulder. Diao Wuji was shocked and angry, covered his wound and said, "Sect Master Xia, you are really scheming, first pretend to tell me that this is a deadly nail, let me let down my guard, don't dodge and use blocking." In fact, you used four consecutive nails, one after another, and finally let me go, as the saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart. ”

Xia Yuanyuan laughed out loud, her life-killing nail is generally different from the one used by people in the rivers and lakes, it is a unique secret weapon that has been improved by the Thousand Machine Sect, and outsiders don't know that this is a steel nail with four consecutive shots, and it is generally difficult not to miss it.

Xia Yuanyuan said, "Master Diao, now that you have injured your arm, how can you fight with me today." Diao Wuji was so angry that the muscles on his face twitched, and he stared at Xia Yuanyuan viciously for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, stretched his eyebrows, and said with an evil smile, "Sect Master Xia is worthy of being the leader in the Thousand Machines Gate, and it is not unjust to fold it in your hands the next two times, but I heard that you have a good relationship with Guo Liangyu, an idler in the mountains, since I have hit a wall with you, then I will take the time to find this Mr. Guo to reason and see if I can get justice." ”

Xia Yuanyuan's face changed greatly, and she said, "Diao Wuji, what do you want to do, Guo Liangyu is just a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, please pay attention to your identity as the head of the faction, don't be embarrassed by ordinary people." ”

Xia Yuanyuan in Diao Wuji's eyes has always been calm and calm, and she has been reasonable and moderate, but now it is the first time to see her face flustered, and she is happy in her heart. Diao Wuji is injured now, and he can't take advantage of it at the moment, so there is no need to entangle with Xia Yuanyuan anymore, don't look too far, don't answer Xia Yuanyuan's words, and strode towards the Zhao army in the distance.

Xia Yuanyuan's mind was racing rapidly, wanting to get rid of this person on the spot, but after thinking about it in every way, she still let go of this idea. Although Diao Wuji was injured, if he was determined to escape, he would not have the ability to keep him, and this person had not done anything unfavorable to Qianjimen, so it was unreasonable to kill him. Xia Yuanyuan could only think about how to protect Guo Liangyu in the later stage, so as not to harass this person.

In the streets of Luocheng in winter, there is a light rain in the sky, and the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, and they are all in a hurry to go home. With the sound of wheels, a carriage sped along the road, splashing muddy water on many of the beggars along the roadside. The beggars are used to dirty things, this bit of muddy water is really nothing, what they care about is whether Zhao Dashan in Luocheng will open the door to give alms. In front of Zhao Dashanren's mansion, hundreds of poor people have lined up since the morning, waiting to open the door and go up one by one to receive food.

Suddenly, in the distance, a group of sword-wielding soldiers came in the rain, stepped forward, and arrived in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, shouting to drive away all these poor people. The captain kicked open the door of the mansion at the same time and led the team into the Zhao mansion. After a while, I only heard the sound of crying fathers and mothers in the mansion one after another, and at the same time that Zhao Bing came out of the mansion gate, he actually put many men and women in Zhao Mansion in shackles and shackles.

The beggars were driven away by the soldiers. But man did not go far, but watched from afar. Seeing that the Zhao family seemed to have committed a crime, one of the beggars said to the people around him, "Zhao Dashan has offended the government? Another beggar replied, "Jiang Laoqi, why don't you understand the food you have been asking for so long in this neighborhood." Recently, the government has gone crazy, arresting strong men, confiscating family property, paying heavy taxes, wantonly hoarding materials, and raising grain and grass, making everyone feel at risk. I heard that don't talk about Luocheng, even the people of the capital are not having a good time. Today, Zhao Dashan is a good person, and there are many auspicious people. The beggar named Jiang Laoqi was puzzled, "Old Zhangtou, what is the government doing?" Lao Zhangtou sighed loudly and said, "I can't see this, I'm afraid it's not that the front line is going to fight again, alas, the people are not happy, the people are not happy." ”

All the beggars, you and I have to talk a word. When a Zhao soldier next to him heard it, he pulled out his knife and shouted, "Cheap thing, national affairs are also discussed by you, hurry up and get out of my way, I'll count to three, if anyone is still here, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife!"

The beggars were terrified, and scattered as birds and beasts. A beggar in the group had a black face, carrying a broken bowl, and his face was full of sorrow. The Zhao family should have been raided, and it will be even more difficult to ask for food in the future, but today I am afraid that there will be nothing. The beggar looked up at the sky, and saw that God had no intention of stopping the rain for a while, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, so he shook his head helplessly and went west.

The beggar came to a ruined temple, pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Bai Ling, how do you feel about your body, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat today, Zhao Dashan's house has just been copied." ”

A young man in the temple heard the voice, turned over from the straw pile, and said, "The knife wound has been scarred, compared to this, it is still Ding Zhun's foot is heavy, and my head is still dizzy." ”

The two of them were Duan Yao and Bai Ling, both dressed as beggars, their faces were black and dirty, and it was difficult to distinguish their original appearances.

On the same day, Duan Yao picked up Bai Ling and jumped off the city wall, intending to die together, but fell and sank into the moat with a thud. The Chonghuguan moat was living water, and the two were washed downstream from west to east. When he arrived at the shoal, Duan Yao helped Bai Ling ashore, which was already outside the gate.

Duan Yao saw that Bai Ling's breath was weak and he had lost too much blood, so he quickly found some rags and bandaged him briefly. Looking around, he didn't know the direction, in order to avoid Zhao Bing chasing after him, he just walked blindly outside the pass with Bai Ling.

After walking for a day and a night, the two came to Luocheng, an important town in the north, which is located on the border of Qin and Zhao, and is the largest city on the border of Zhao and the largest in the Luyang region, which is still in Lu Daoming's sphere of influence. Duan Yao was afraid of being recognized by Lu Daoming's people, so he and Bai Ling stayed in a broken temple on the outskirts of the city, changed into beggar clothes, and went out to beg for food on weekdays, hoping that after Bai Ling's injury was healed, he would make plans.

Bai Ling's initial body was weak and had a constant high fever, Duan Yao didn't care about the identity of Miss Qianjin, and relied on martial arts to steal a lot of food and medicine to take care of Bai Ling, so that his situation improved, at least his life was saved.

Duan Yao saw that Bai Ling was a little angry when he spoke, so he said to him, "Recently, the army of the Zhao State has been moving frequently, and I heard that it seems that there is another war. The government raided a house today and arrested a strong man tomorrow, which made the people panic. ”

Bai Ling sat up, moved his hands and feet, and said, "I don't care if they beat them, I have to think of going to the capital." ”

Duan Yao said, "It's not convenient for you to go to the capital before you get better." I heard that there is a Su Shen Doctor named Su Luhua, he has amazing medical skills, and he lives in Luoxing Valley, not far from Luo City, you might as well let him see your internal injuries, and by the way, let him see your muscles and veins, if they can be cured, and then go to the capital, wouldn't it be good. ”

Bai Ling pondered for a while when he heard this, then raised his head and asked, "Miss Duan, how many days have passed since the day of the conference?"

Duan Yao pondered for a moment and said, "It's been ten days." Bai Ling said, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the Falling Star Valley to find Su Luhua." Duan Yao saw that Bai Ling was willing to listen to him, and he was happy in his heart, so he quickly helped him lie down and let him pay attention to rest.

Bai Ling remembered in his mind that Gu Baobao invited Zhou Ruoxin to enter the capital to face the saint, and he always remembered how to meet her in the capital. Ding Zhun's kick was extremely ruthless, kicking his stomach and turning the river and the sea, and he often vomited in the past few days, and people were also drowsy, so he moved the idea of going to see the miracle doctor.

Suddenly, several voices came from outside the house, Duan Yao listened attentively, and recognized that there were today's Jiang Laoqi and Lao Zhangtou. I heard one person ask, "Old Zhangtou, are you sure? No one has come to this ruined temple all year round, can you have that look in your eyes?" Lao Zhangtou's voice was hoarse, with a thick dialect, and said, "Chang Zhutou, I saw it with my own eyes, there are two people living in the temple, and they look like two wanted criminals posted on the list recently." A man and a woman, not very old. Jiang Laoqi also said busily, "I also saw it, one of them was still queuing up with us to ask for food today, and Lao Zhangtou and I followed to find it, only to find out that they live here." Chang Zhutou said, "Okay, let's go into the temple and have a look, if there is really a wanted criminal as you said, then the government will have its own reward." ”

Jiang Laoqi and Lao Zhangtou responded happily. Chang Catcher and the rest of the people went to the front of the temple, waved their hands, and several of his catchers quickly surrounded the front and back of the small temple.

Chang Zhutou said loudly to the temple, "In Xia Luocheng, the "iron catcher" Chang Yong, the two people in the temple are also invited to come out to chat, and they don't bother to come in and chat." ”

There was no sound inside and outside the small temple, and no one answered, Chang Yong and several catchers looked at each other. One quickly pulled out his waist knife, slowly touched the temple door, and as soon as he pushed the door in, the person was suddenly hit by a strong force, and was hit straight and flew out, rolling on the ground for a long distance, and kept screaming in pain.

Outside the house, several people drew their knives in their hands, and the two beggars hurriedly hid to the side and started to tremble.
