Yu Zhong picked up the sheepskin bag and poured it violently a few times, and the last drops of water flowed out of it.

He wiped his sweat, and there was still no end in sight to the mountain road ahead.

It was too slow to take the official road, so he chose to take the mountain road, and he had been on the road for three days. When you are hungry, you will pick some wild fruits in the mountains to satisfy your hunger and hunt some game. What's more difficult to solve is the water source, it's good to be able to meet mountain springs and streams, and when you don't have them, you can only chew a few leaves.

According to the map, the mountain is a plain. When the time comes, find a market, change horses, and it should be at most a day, and you will be able to get to Zhongjing.

But when he reached the top of the mountain, Yu Zhong was dumbfounded. There was no road ahead, and because of the ground movement, there was a landslide. Now only a bare slope remains, and it is completely impossible to lead the horse down the mountain.

If you want to go around the ridge, I'm afraid it will take you another half a day. Now the best thing to do is to slide down this slope.

But you can't just jump like that. Yu Zhong looked at his Yan Jun Sword, looked at the surrounding trees again, and had an idea in his heart.

He drew his sword and cut off a few calf-thick branches, cutting them into two planks nearly a man high. He picked it up and made a gesture, sharpened two more canes of about three feet, and finally nodded with considerable satisfaction.

He took off his luggage and saddle again, patted the horse's buttocks, and said, "Go, your task is done." As if he understood, the horse neighed, looked back at him, and went away on his own.

Seeing the horses leaving, Yu Zhong tied the planks tightly to his feet, and carried his luggage and sword behind him. He picked up two canes, looked at the bare slope below, and let out a long breath. I saw him tiptoe lightly and jump down from the top of the mountain.

"Woohoo...... Exciting!" came the remnants of a whistling sound from the slope. I saw him stepping on two planks, and he actually slid down the slope as if he were walking on the ground. From time to time, he also touched the ground with his cane, maintaining his balance, and the sand rose behind him.

The thrill of this speed did not last long, and soon he slid down the hill. This time there was a small river in front of me. He was so fast that he flew straight into the river, fell on all fours, and even the planks on his feet flew out.

"Bah, bah......" Yu Zhong spat out the mud and sand in his mouth, rubbing his ass that almost fell into four petals and stood up. The river was not deep, and he looked around and saw a hut in the upper reaches of the river.

"Go see if there's anybody, find something to eat, and ask for directions by the way. Yu Zhong thought of this, and hurriedly climbed to the shore with both hands and feet.

The owner of the cottage was an old woodcutter who was quite kind. Seeing that Yu Zhong was soaked, he hurriedly beckoned him into the house.

"Young man, you bake your clothes by the stove first, and I'll go and serve you a bowl of hot soup to warm up. The woodcutter said.

Yu Zhong sat by the fire, roasting his clothes and drinking the hot fish soup brought by the woodcutter, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.

From the woodcutter's mouth, he learned that there was a small town not far from here, and his son opened an inn in the town. Every day the woodcutter went into the mountains to cut wood and rested in this hut.

This is really a coincidence, and the rest of the weight is just right on the woodcutter's donkey cart. In this way, when you buy a horse in the town, you will soon be able to get to Zhongjing.

The donkey cart was loaded with firewood and grass, and Yu Zhong jumped up with ease and lay directly inside. Not to mention, it's soft and comfortable.

The old woodcutter sang a mountain song in front of him comfortably, which was quite beautiful. As the body shook, a wave of fatigue hit, and Yu Zhong fell asleep unconsciously.

By the time he woke up again, he had already arrived at the place.

The town is small and located on the main road to Chukyo in the south. The inn is not large, but it is the only inn in town.

Yu Zhong helped unload the firewood and grass to the backyard, and by the way, he gave the old woodcutter some scattered silver taels as a thank you.

Seeing that it was getting late, he walked into the inn, ordered a table of wine and food, and planned to have a good meal, and then set off for Zhongjing immediately after a night's rest.

At this time, several martial arts people walked into the inn, and their fierce faces leaked out, and they were bears on their backs. A few people slapped their weapons on the table, and then shouted at Xiao Er to serve wine and food.

After a few cups of yellow soup, these people began to make loud noises. Yu Zhong couldn't help but look at it in disgust.

But what they said aroused Yu Yu's interest. It turned out that several of them came to participate in a martial arts competition in Zhongjing Mansion, and it seemed that a big family recruited bodyguards, so they held such a ring.

Because the remuneration is very attractive, it has attracted many people from the rivers and lakes to fight. These big men are here to participate.

But before finding Jin Luoyi, Yu Zhong was not in the mood to see the excitement. He hurriedly finished his meal and prepared to go upstairs to rest, so that he could leave early tomorrow morning.

Who knows that these big men are half drunk and half awake, and they don't know what to do. When he saw Yu Zhong holding a sword in his hand, he wanted to take it and take a look. Yu Zhong naturally refused, and several people started to grab it.

Where they were the remaining opponents, they were kicked to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and ran out of the door crying.

"Amitabha, I haven't seen you for a few months, and Master Yu's kung fu is getting more and more sophisticated. A loud voice came into Yu Chong's ears.

He looked into the corner of the inn and saw an old monk sitting there with a red face.

As soon as he saw that it was him, Yu Zhong immediately went up and gave a respectful salute, saying, "It turned out to be Master Wuji, and the junior is so polite." ”

Master Wuji replied: "Master Yu has a good memory, and I still remember that the poor monk said when he was in Yuhua Mountain, the old man and the donor have a fate, and there will be a goodbye period. ”

Yu Chongyan thought about it, as if there was really such a thing, and hurriedly said: "The master's Buddhism is profound, and the younger generations admire it, I don't know why the master passed by here." ”

The two talked, and it turned out that Master Wuji was invited to Beijing to say the law, and only then did he pass here, but he happened to meet Yu Zhong. But Yu Zhong didn't dare to tell him about Jin Luoyi, if it reached the ears of Master Wuchen, wouldn't he be able to eat and walk around.

"Does Master Yu have something on his mind?" Wujian seemed to see something, and suddenly asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, why don't we go to Beijing together tomorrow, and I can listen to the master's profound teachings." Yu Zhong hurriedly changed the subject.

Master Unsullied agreed. It wasn't until the next morning, when Yu Zhong saw Wuji standing outside the inn waiting for him, that he regretted it a little.

"Master, how did you get here...... Yu Zhong asked.

"People in Buddhism, with compassion in their hearts, naturally come over. "Wujian clasped his hands together and looked serious.

"You can't let the juniors go with you...... There is still an urgent matter for the younger generation to go to Zhongjing. "The remainder is now two large in one head.

"If the donor is in a hurry, you must buy a horse for the poor monk, and the poor monk can also accommodate you. Master Innocent replied.

Yu Zhong thought to himself: "You old monk is waiting for me here." ”

But this peer Shangjing was also proposed by himself, and now he has to admit it and buy another horse for Master Wuji.

"Lord Yu has a good heart, and he has a relationship with the Buddha, and my Buddha will definitely bless you. Master Unsullied said solemnly.

"Old monk, it's really condescending if you don't do business. Although Yu Zhong thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.

The town was not far from Zhongjing Mansion, and the two of them walked all the way and entered the city at noon.

Last time I came, Yu Zhong was to escort Jin Luoyi to come. This time, the beauty is nowhere to be found.

"Lord Yu, Lao Qu entered Beijing this time, and he said the Dharma in the White Dragon Temple, seven hundred and forty-nine days before and after, if there is a place where you need help, just come to find a poor monk. With that, Master Unsullied left first.

Yu Zhong thanked him repeatedly, but he didn't think so. Suddenly, he saw a man on the street, and he almost burst out laughing, this person he knew all too well.

"Guiming!" shouted Yu from afar.

Gui Ming heard someone shouting at him, searched around, and finally saw Yu Chong: "Isn't this Boss Yu, why are you here?" ”

Yu Chong just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gui Ming and said: "This is not the place to speak, Boss Yu will come with me." ”

The two walked into the teahouse together and opened a private room, and Guiming breathed a sigh of relief and drank a big sip of tea first.

"You said that you are a captain of the Dragon Guard, and Zhongjing City is also your land, how nervous you are. Yu Zhong asked.

Gui Ming smiled and said, "Boss Yu, I'm sorry, brother, I'm a lieutenant now." ”

"Yo, I'm promoted. Congratulations. Yu Zhong said.

I saw Gui Ming suddenly walk out of the private room again, and told Xiao Er not to disturb him if he was fine, and then walked in again, and asked mysteriously: "Boss Yu, you won't also come here for that incident, right?"

Yu Zhong was confused, and even asked what was the matter.

It turned out that in recent days, many martial arts people in Zhongjing City suddenly gathered, ostensibly to participate in the ring set up by a wealthy family. However, if this kind of thing happened in Gyeonggi, it would naturally attract the attention of the forbidden army, and Guiming volunteered to investigate the matter.

"I've heard about this on the way to Beijing, but I'm really not here for this. Yu Zhong told Guiming about Jin Luoyi's disappearance.

"It turns out that Boss Yu, you are here for Miss Jin, a while ago, Huchen mysteriously sent me a secret letter, asking me to hand it over to my father, it is for this secret account, I didn't expect so many things to be involved. Gui Ming said with a frown.

"If Luo Yi is really taken captive by Chen Jing, her current situation must be very dangerous, I have to find a way to rescue her quickly. Yu Zhong said anxiously.

"But you are alone, and you are unfamiliar with the capital. Guiming thought for a while, and then continued: "In this way, Boss Yu, you will come to my house to live temporarily, and it is really urgent to save people, I will help you find a way together." ”

Thinking about it again, what Gui Ming said is also reasonable, instead of scurrying around like a headless fly, it is better to have one more person and more strength.

After all, they are brothers who fight tigers, not to mention that they are not far behind their own brothers.
