Volume 1 The Long Hate of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 8 The Old Man in the Medicine King Palace
Li Bing and the three of them drove the carriage, and it didn't take long for them to get off the official road and take the small road. The horse was fast, and in less than half an hour it had galloped out for more than thirty miles.
"Hey. This man is awake!" Yinglan'er opened the curtain of the carriage, but saw that outside was the scene of "the moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie is flying south".
Li Bing gently tugged on the reins: "It's just right, this horse is also tired, and no one will catch up, let's find a place to rest for a while." Before he could finish speaking, the carriage had stopped, and it was indeed too difficult for a horse to carry a three-man carriage for a long distance.
"Hey, wake up, stop pretending to be asleep. Li Bing was not polite, pulled the collar on the young man's hand, and pulled it up: "Rescue you, I just want to ask you a few questions, if you answer well, we will let you go." After speaking, Li Bing gave Yinglan'er a look.
Before she could speak, the young man sat up straight: "Yes, don't bother you." I'm very good at this, I'll do it myself. ”
The young man coughed twice and cleared his throat: "My name is Anqing Fang, a native of Ezhou, now fourteen years old, fatherless and motherless, wandering and begging for a living since childhood, there was a master who taught me to be empty-handed and make simple drugs, and then I relied on this for a living." Well...... Now that I've introduced myself, what should I say...... Well...... It should be said that it was why they were caught. ”
An Qingfang was really proficient, ignoring the reaction of the two of them, rubbed his neck with his shoulder, and then said, "Hmm...... Here's the thing, two months ago, someone found me and asked me to go to Jiangnan Yunqi Sect to steal a book for three hundred yuan, and I casually agreed. It took a lot of effort to get the book, but as soon as I got it, I was caught. They asked me to explain who wanted the book, and I told them the truth, and then took them to the agreed place of delivery. ”
The young man seemed to be a little thirsty, pursed his lips, and said without nonsense, and continued: "They set up an ambush, but who knew that the man's martial arts were very powerful, not only escaped, killed a person, but also injured their boss. Then I drove for another day, and you rescued me. Well, that's all. What are you going to do, let me go or kill me?"
This young man was so direct that Li Bing was caught off guard: "Okay, you really have you." Isn't it that every time you get caught, you admit it so neatly?"
An Qingfang wanted to speak, but his throat suddenly became dumb, so he had to cough twice to clear his throat and say: "Of course not at first, but later I found out that even if I didn't say it at first, I had to say it in the end, and I was beaten for no reason, so I simply told everything I knew at the beginning." You save trouble, and I will save myself from being beaten. ”
Li Bing was already overjoyed by the righteous words of the young man's answer, but he restrained his smile after laughing twice: "Young man, you are very smart, you have explained a lot of things, but you have hidden all the most important points, do you think that if you don't tell these secrets and get rid of your own involvement, we will let you go?"
Li Bing straightened his face, glanced at An Qingfang's demeanor, and then said: "First of all, what is that book, what is special, you didn't say anything at all, since this book has caused so many things, it will not be a "Analects" Second, why did that person find you, what is the relationship between you, that person will not catch a random person on the road and let him steal books; third, since they have already found the person with whom you traded, why did they neither kill you, nor release you, let alone send you to the government? Keeping you must be of still useful value. Am you right?"
Ying Lan'er suddenly brightened up when she heard this, nodded again and again, and punched An Qingfang on the shoulder: "I almost fooled you through!"
An Qingfang was already thin, and he punched him on the bone, and screamed in pain: "Wronged, I forgot about it for a while!" said that he wanted to glare at Yinglan'er, but in the end he didn't dare. "The name of the book is "White Snow Neijing", with a blue cover, in fact, in the title of the book, I only know one 'white' character. I've read that book, and although I can't read it, there are some pictures in it, which seem to be a martial arts secret book. ”
Hearing this, Ying Lan'er looked at Li Bing and said in a low voice: "Bai Xue Neijing is the top-level internal strength of the Yunqi Sect, and it is the best choice for condensing true qi, and it can't be learned by idlers. ”
An Qingfang also glanced at Li Bing's eyes, looked at him and didn't speak, so he could only continue: "The person who came to me to steal the book was wearing a hat when he saw me, and I don't know who he is. As for why he came to me, maybe it was because I was already well-known in the industry. An Qingfang was a little excited when he said this: "It's not blowing with you, don't look at my age, in this industry, I am already an ancestor." Some time ago, the rivers and lakes also gave me a nickname called 'Wind Explorer', which means that I can steal what is hidden in the wind. It was only natural that the man came to me. ”
Seeing that Li Bing was silent, An Qingfang knew that he seemed to have dispelled the doubts in his heart, and it seemed that he would not do anything to himself, so he relaxed a little, and then said: "As for why they still have me, I don't know. Maybe they thought I knew something they hadn't told them, so they took me with them. It's as if I've told you everything I know, and you're still with me. ”
Hearing this, Li Bing smiled and said, "Eh, you didn't tell me everything I wanted to know." I remember you used a bamboo drug when you ran away today, and that thing worked very well, where did it come from, and did it come from?"
An Qingfang was still grinning just now, but at this moment, he suddenly lowered his head, his eyes looked at the pale white clouds outside the carriage, and he seemed to remember the old thing: "That thing was given by my master." I used to wander around and often didn't have enough to eat, but then I met a kind man in Youzhou who taught me how to be empty-handed. Although he didn't take me as an apprentice, I always called him a master in my heart. He gave me a total of five sticks of incense, so that I could run away when I was in danger, and I could not do bad things that hurt heaven and reason. Today is my last one. ”
When Ying Lan'er heard this, she pouted and said, "What kind of good person is this, what kind of person is this, what is not good to teach, teach you to steal." ”
When An Qingfang heard this, he seemed to be a little worried, his original lively personality was gone, his eyes were already bloodshot, and he just replied lightly: "My master is a good person, don't talk about him." ”
Li Bing guessed that he was afraid that his master had passed away, and he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he shook his head slightly and said, "Okay, since you have finished explaining, then you can go." ”
An Qingfang was about to get out of the car, but was dragged back by Yinglan'er: "You just let him go?"
"Or else, do you want to send him back?"
Ying Lan'er was silent and silent for a long time before she said slowly: "I followed you to rescue him in a daze just now, which is already wrong." Now that I know that he is a thief, I can't let him go. If you think about it carefully, that big man has seen me, and when he wakes up and finds that the person is gone, he will definitely go to the 'non-faction' to find me trouble, and then you will leave. I'm miserable. ”
Li Bing saw that he was stubborn, got up and was about to jump out of the carriage: "Okay, anyway, it's time to enter Bashu here, you send him back, I'll go." ”
"You caused the trouble, do you want to leave?" said that it was too late, Ying Lan'er whipped out, wanting to wrap Li Bing's calf and pull him back.
Li Bing was not to be outdone, grabbed the roof of the carriage with both hands, jumped up hard, and fixed Yinglan'er's long whip with just two feet.
A fierce battle is about to begin.
In an instant, the small carriage shook violently.
The small carriage shook violently!
Concussion!
