CHAPTER XXII
Zhu Er said that the punishment table is solid, and I also feel the same way, but I don't think that the methods of the Xuan Shendao people are like cool officials, and the contact with the Xuan Shendao people is not long, and they only say that others are as cold as icebergs, and they are harsh and harsh. I smiled dryly and said: "Senior Zhu has a good reputation, where is the fate of the next one, this time Kunlun Mountain refining medicine, if it weren't for Jiang Shun's seniors to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that my little life would have gone down to the Netherworld Mansion a long time ago." ”
Zhu Er smiled: "You're talking about the Golden Flower Thief, but he is a good man, I didn't expect him to save you." I heard from the brother in the altar that in order to save you, he did not hesitate to turn his face with the Seven Great Sects, and even blinded the right eye of the Lord of Guigu Valley. ”
Although Zhu Er broke his arms, he was still talking and laughing on his face, but his words made me feel a little remorseful again. Jiang Shun came to my rescue this time, and the Seven Great Sects were afraid that they would also regard him as a rebel. He was originally the younger brother of the Shaobai Daoist, and he could help the Seven Great Sects to fight against the Immortal Hall in a battle between the two factions of the Righteous and Demon Sects in Kunlun Mountain, in terms of his skills, if the Seven Great Sects had his help, he would undoubtedly have a lot of strength, maybe he could still make a great contribution, but in fact he did not do that, but chose to sacrifice his life to rescue me from Kunlun Mountain.
After going down Kunlun Mountain, I asked Jiang Shun why he came to the rescue, and he said that it was only because he was a friend that he would take action. At that time, Jiang Shun's expression was similar to Zhu Er's now, as if he said it in pain, although he seemed to be unimpressed, but I knew the weight of his words, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back in my life.
These thoughts only flashed through my mind, and I didn't want to think about them anymore, so I just said, "By the way, Senior Zhu, how did your Immortal Hall get the results of this battle with the Seven Great Sects?
Zhu Er smiled and said, "I don't know about this." ”
I wondered, "The seniors don't know either?"
Zhu Er nodded and said: "This time, our hall encircled and suppressed Kunlun Mountain, and we and Miss did not participate because we had important matters, and we only reported the general battle situation to my brother, and we don't know exactly what happened." ”
What is the important thing about them? When I was at the top of the mountain before, the wine master said the same thing, but he didn't tell me what it was, just said that he would know when I saw Meng Hanyan. But I'm too curious to figure out what is more important to them than the two factions of the righteous and the demon fighting Kunlun.
I helped Zhu Er's back again, and was about to ask Meng Hanyan why he came to Minzhou this time, but I heard the wine Taoist who had jumped to the foot of the mountain shouting: "Brother Zhu, you go faster, don't let Miss wait in a hurry." ”
Zhu Er answered, and said with a smile behind my back: "Let's go, Gu Shaoxia, Miss is still waiting for you." ”
Meng Hanyan is now outside Minzhou City. No matter what important things they have to do when they come to Minzhou City this time, in my opinion, being able to meet Meng Hanyan is the most important thing.
I thought about it, and I didn't ask anything more, my right hand let go of the rock, and with a slight force of my feet, I carried Zhu Er on the mountain wall and jumped steadily to the foot of the mountain.
The north and south peaks of Minzhou City extend to this point is already the end, and less than half a mile to the west is the Taoshui River, which is the boundary point between Tubo and the Central Plains. Taoshui crosses from north to south, although it is not the mainstream of the big river, but because it sticks to the dangerous peak outside the city of Minzhou and flows into the northern river, so the river flow and the two peaks form a natural angle, the reason why the city of Minzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, one is related to the construction of the mountain in the city of Minzhou, and the other is that it has a great relationship with the Taoshui River. If the tribes of the Western Regions wanted to enter the Central Plains from the northwest, they had to cross the Taoshui, and this tributary of the Taoshui was only a Kufeng Bridge connecting Tibet and the land of Middle-earth.
After walking north at the foot of the mountain, and up a low slope, we reached the ground from the bottom of the peak, and not far in front of us was the wide avenue that I had walked with my brothers in the dart game yesterday.
Walking up the avenue, I looked back.
At this time, it was already very late, the west gate of Minzhou City had already been closed, looking from afar, in the dark rain, the fire on the head of Minzhou City was flickering, and the peaks on both sides were like a huge clamp lock, tightly buckling Minzhou City in it. Last night, we fought hard with the Tubo army here, and the position I am standing in is the rear of the Tubo army's Anza trebuchet last night, from here, I can only see the vague outline of Minzhou City, but because of the torches lit on the city, the killing field outside the city can still be seen clearly, but it is already full of devastation, and corpses can be seen everywhere.
In the battle of defending the city last night, Kangping had sent people out of the city to clean the battlefield, but he only moved the corpses of the soldiers defending the city back to the city, and the corpses of those Tubo people were still outside the city. Outside the city gate, there are scattered weapons and bloodstains everywhere, and sometimes four or five wild wolves can be seen gnawing on the dead corpses, probably from the Tibetan border to find the smell of blood. On the edge of the two peaks, it was washed away by the rain, and the blood stains merged into strands, flowing down the ravine to the Taoshui River. Probably because of the rainy day, the smell of blood around is not very strong, and when the wind blows, it brings more fresh smell of grass leaves in the rain.
Looking at the scene around me, for some reason, I didn't feel any pity in my heart, but a kind of joy and peace of mind after victory. No matter what the purpose of the Tubo army this time, they still came to invade the land of the Central Plains after all, and they deserved to end up in this fate.
Turning my head and not looking at it anymore, I looked around again, trying to find Meng Hanyan's figure, but everywhere I saw was the broken wood left by the trebuchet, except for Jiu Shangdao and Zhu Er, I couldn't even see a figure.
Seeing that the wine master didn't mean to stop, but walked west, I wondered: "Wine senior, where is the dream girl?"
I nodded and said, "Okay, please lead the way." "Maybe it's because this scene outside Minzhou City is too unbearable, and I don't want to stay in this kind of place if I want to come to Menghanyan.
I didn't say anything more, and continued west with the wine master.
The further you go, the stronger the wind. Minzhou City is blocked by two peaks, and the wind can't blow, but the city is a smooth road to the west, without sheltering the mountains.
Dream Hanyan is just ahead. I don't know why, but the further I go, the more panicked I become.
I looked up at the sky. In the sky, the thick clouds still melted away, and the rain became silk. When he was in Jingzhou the year before last, Meng Hanyan left that night, but this time, it was a rainy night. It's only been two years, but I feel like many years have passed.
After walking for a while, I was thinking about the scene of meeting Meng Hanyan when suddenly, a faint sound of the piano sounded in front of me.
The place where the sound of the piano came from was not far away, and it seemed to have been played for a long time, and it was on the side of the Kufeng Bridge. My heart shook, and my feet immediately stopped. Even though I don't know the timbre, when I hear the sound, I can guess who can play it.
