Chapter 421: A Simple Attempt (Part II)
The cold wind was like a knife, the cold blew the horns, and outside the Shanhai Pass, a carriage came from the north, and the rolling wheels crushed the ice and snow on the ground.
The carriage was followed by a horse, and the rider on the horse was a slender middle-aged man with an iron harp on his back and a long sword hanging from his waist, looking back from time to time.
The wind became more and more intense, and the sound of Huma's neighing and Jingo's collision was faintly heard in the wind, and suddenly, only a few loud howls could be heard, and the sound of the horse's hooves was gradually silenced.
In the carriage sat a man with slightly gray hair, but he could not see the specific age, and he was clearly drinking a spirited wine like a burning heart, but his face was amazingly white, as if he had lost all his blood.
"Is that Brother Hu's voice?" the man asked, sitting in the carriage, to the man outside. Although he was asking a question, his tone was very firm and sad.
"Just send me here! In order to save me, you eight friends have already broken five places. How can it be that all of them are ruined here because they are below? Those Tartar chasers, I'll stop them... Halfway through the words, a fierce coughing sound came from inside the carriage.
The middle-aged man rode his horse to the carriage plate, and his voice was heroic, with a heartfelt passion: "Childe, don't be like this, for the sake of the well-being of the world, Childe sneaked into the Tartar military camp alone and killed the enemy chieftain." Now that we are seriously injured, we have done our best to send the son back to the Central Plains, which is a blessing for us. If the husband dies, he will die, but he is all enthusiastic, what a good way!"
"What an idiot!" suddenly sounded in the man's heart for no apparent reason. The man was tense, secretly lucky, improved his five senses, and wanted to find the source of the sound.
The next moment, the injury recurred, and a series of rapid coughing sounds were heard.
"It's really funny! The cultivator is obviously a sharp gold true qi, but he has learned a palm technique with a thick earth nature, but he doesn't know how to convert the true qi, control the internal movement, and exert ten points of strength, and he will come back twenty points. Hurt yourself before you hurt the enemy, and the more you urge your true qi and the more often you use your palm, the more pressure you put on your lungs. At present, it is already dangerous, and it is almost impossible to recover. The voice rang out again.
At this moment, the man was very sure that the voice was in his head, not from outside.
"Could it be that the sound is transmitted into the secret? It's just that in the world, who can directly transmit the voice into my head?" The man's face was slightly gloomy, and he whispered: "Why do the seniors tease Xiao! If you are dissatisfied with the subordinates, just draw a line." Although he is not a senior opponent, he definitely can't say a word of fear. ”
"Xiao! Haha! I thought I had an error in reading my memory before, but I didn't expect it to be. Since ancient times, Xiao Lin has many protagonists, and he has a great surname of luck! It seems that you can't die this time!" The voice continued to echo in Xiao Ran's head, as if it was one with him.
"Childe, is there something going on?" asked the strong man outside the carriage when he heard the noise.
Xiao Ran knew that the person who could speak directly in his mind must have an unpredictable background, and he didn't want to involve the righteous man, so he said: "It's okay! It's just an internal injury, just a few words." ”
When the strong man heard this, he said again: "Son, relax your heart! Not long after, it will be the meeting place with the monk Miaoyin Wangxiangpo." When you get there, everything will be fine. ”
Xiao Ran in the car stopped talking, and directly pulled the curtain and nodded.
And the voice that appeared in my head for no reason no longer sounded, as if it had never appeared.
Outside the Wangxiang slope, two wounded war horses neighed with ragged passengers on their backs, and the leader was a monk.
The middle-aged man greeted him and asked, "Monk Miaoyin, what about Brother Hu Liang?"
The monk reined in his horse's head and said gloomily: "They are all dead! I really can't imagine that in the ambush on all sides, they have already fled here, and the Shanhaiguan is already in sight, but he still can't escape the hands of the Tartars." However, they really deserve to be iron-clad men, even if they are all seriously injured, they still kill several people, and before they die, they also killed the Tartars who led the soldiers, and those Tartar soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly fled for their lives, not daring to chase them anymore. Whoever does not die, like them, deserves to die. ”
The middle-aged man's eyes were blazing, he glared at the sky, and suddenly said with a long smile: "Shanhaiguan is already in sight, I will send Gongzi back, and I will kill him back to avenge the Hu brothers." We can't be born on the same day, the same month, the same day, but we want to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year. ”
"Now that I have important things to do, I can't fulfill my oath immediately, but I can only let Brother Hu wait a little longer. ”
When the monk heard this, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's right! The country is in trouble, we wait for a martial artist, and we can't save the building from falling, only a warm blood, and put the head on the head to repay it. ”
Xiao Ran in the carriage poked his head out, and said with the same cheerful smile on his face: "In this case, why are the brothers so selfish, and they have to send me back and trap me in unkindness? Wouldn't it be nice to go to the national disaster together now!"
When the monk and the strong man heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "The son has this heart, and my brothers feel honored." ”
"However, Gongzi is different from us, and he still needs to be useful, and then do a few more important things for the benefit of the country and the people, so as to live up to the thousands of miles sent by my brothers. ”
Xiao Ran wanted to say more, but the voice in his head that was silent for a while sounded again: "Idiot! Why do you have to die? Do you have to fight hard? If you can't fight, you run, if you can't run, you pretend to surrender, and then find the opportunity to dig a pit." If you have to hit a stone with an egg and lose your life in vain, is you a hero?
Xiao Ran couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded: "Shut up! Yanyun Bayou is loyal to the liver and courage, and my Xiao Ran has a bright and upright life, worthy of heaven and earth." You are worthy of such a foolish and despicable person as you to speak against us?"
"Even if you cultivate to the heavens, you are still a faithless and unrighteous person, a dog with a broken spine and barking wildly. ”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly snorted, and the whole person only felt that his head was empty, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The monk who heard the sound walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain and asked, "Young Master Xiao?"
Xiao Ran raised his head and showed a smile as warm as jade: "It's okay! Master Miaoyin! Let's not rush to Shanhaiguan, let's turn around and go to the mountains!"
Monk Miaoyin thought that Xiao Ran still wanted to live and die with them, and was moved: "Childe doesn't need to be like this!"
Xiao Ran shook his head and said: "Da Ming has been erosive for a long time, and the defenders of Shanhaiguan are only afraid that they will have a secret communication with the Tartars. ”
The big man, who was also outside the car, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "This... It doesn't stop there!"
Xiao Ran said, "Listen to me!"
So saying, he stepped out of the carriage, untied the horses that were driving the carriage, and then put a stone into the carriage, and slapped it on the horse's buttocks. The horse was in pain, neighed, pulled the carriage, and galloped in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
