Chapter 188: A Chance Encounter
After the wolves left, the four of them put their minds at ease, and at this time they heard the jingling bell in their ears, and a man and a rider came not far away.
This person should be the person who just released the poisonous smoke to drive away the wolves, and the lives of the four people were all thanks to this person, so they escaped from the wolf's kiss, and it stands to reason that the four of them must have stepped forward to salute.
But first, the four of them ran out of physical strength, and they couldn't get up for a while, and secondly, the four of them were all old rivers and lakes, although they were rescued, the most basic precaution in their hearts was still retained.
Among the four people, only the middle-aged swordsman had seen Xu Yang, but twice Xu Yang either appeared masked, or changed his appearance and figure, only when he besieged and suppressed the beggar gang and the imperial capital broke the rudder, this person had a relationship with Xu Yang, and this was the second time this person saw Xu Yang in person.
Fortunately, this person has a very good memory, and when he saw Xu Yang coming, he smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Doctor Xu, how did you get to the Northwest Frontier? Today, thanks to you, Zhaozhong can escape, and if you have a place to get called in the future, you will help you!"
In order to avoid being chased and killed by the Qing court masters, he fled to the west overnight, but he was not familiar with the road, and there were no acquaintances in Huijiang.
Xu Yang smiled secretly in his heart, this Zhang Zhaozhong is worthy of being an old Jianghu, never mentioning that he is already a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and he is burdened with two capital crimes: the assassination of the Qing army marshal A Gui and the secret communication with the rebels in Xinjiang, and he is ashamed to say that he will repay himself in the future, if he didn't offend the Qing court because he helped the Hui Ministry, and now take your head back to the imperial capital, the reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver is definitely available.
Xu Yang even regretted saving Zhang Zhaozhong, this person has extremely high martial arts, and he is cautious, last time in the Qing army camp, he easily saw through his disguise, and almost ruined his own big thing, if they meet next time, the two are enemies of each other, Xu Yang is not 100% sure to take him.
However, the self-introduction of the next three old men made Xu Yang no longer regret the act of saving people, but a little lucky.
The three of them thanked Xu Yang respectively, and then reported to their homes, it turned out that they were Chen Jialuo's master "Tianchi Monster" Yuan Shixiao, and Huo Qingtong's two masters "Snow Sculpture" Guan Mingmei and "Vulture" Chen Zhengde.
The three of them have been entangled in love and hate for decades, and this time Yuan Shixiao specially purchased a batch of cattle and sheep in order to get rid of the wild wolves that hurt people in the wilderness, wanting to lure the wolves into the maze and trap them alive and dead, but they were destroyed by Chen Zhengde, who didn't know the inside story.
Chen Zhengde, who learned the truth afterwards, was quite remorseful, and specially funded the re-acquisition of a batch of cattle and sheep, and it was rare for the three old enemies to cooperate, but they were besieged by wolves because of Xu Yang's appearance.
Of course, at this time, they didn't know that the reason why their plan failed was because of the intervention of Xu Yang, an unstable factor, Xu Yang knew, of course, he wouldn't say it explicitly, so the three of them were extremely grateful to him for saving his life.
was besieged by wolves before, and the three of them even had the idea of dying here, regretting that they had hated each other for many years and wasted a lot of time.
Especially Guan Mingmei, who scolded Chen Zhengde before, the two have been married for many years, and it turned out to be far more noisy than affectionate, thinking about it at this time, I am really sorry for Chen Zhengde.
Now that they are still alive, the three of them no longer care about the previous grievances, and finally get along, Guan Mingmei is doubly gentle with Chen Zhengde, Chen Zhengde knows that his wife has never been sorry for him, so he is naturally overjoyed, and he no longer cares about Yuan Shixiao, the former rival, Yuan Shixiao is also a little ashamed of his actions over the years, and the three of them are more intimate than many friends for many years at this time.
Xu Yang has heard of the names of the three of them, so he naturally doesn't dare to slack off, if he doesn't care about Cai Xiaotian, who is hidden in the world, Yuan Shixiao can be regarded as the number one master in the world, when it comes to real kung fu, I'm afraid he is still a step behind, and Tianshan Shuangying is Huo Qingtong's master and master, which is never dared to offend.
So he asked the four of them to rest first, and then set off fireworks and asked Huo Qingtong to bring everyone to meet him.
After waiting for a long time, Huo Qingtong led the warriors back to come, at first he thought that Xu Yang was in danger, so he only brought the most elite hundred warriors to rush first, and when he saw that Xu Yang was safe and sound, he was overjoyed, and the person next to him was actually his master and master, and it was a different kind of surprise, so he was busy coming to see.
Xu Yang naturally would not let a few world-class masters lose face in front of people, and only said that he met four people to deal with the wolves, and he joined together to drive away the wolves, and never said anything about the poisonous smoke before.
The four of them knew that Xu Yang was protecting his face, and if others heard that the four of them were working together, they were still in danger, but they wanted a junior to save them, it would be really a shameless thing, so they didn't say it, but they kept Xu Yang's great kindness in their hearts, and they were determined to repay it twice in the future.
Xu Yang also wants this effect, it is not much time before he leaves this small world, instead of publicizing his reputation that is not very good, it is better to get some benefits.
These four people are all famous masters in the world, and any one of them will definitely benefit him a lot if he repays his kindness, not to mention that the four of them owe themselves a great favor at the same time, thinking of this, Xu Yang secretly smiled.
Huo Qingtong invited the master to go to his tribe, the two old men readily agreed, and at the same time invited Yuan Shixiao to go together, Yuan Shixiao's self-righteous plan was destroyed twice, and he was depressed.
As for Zhang Zhaozhong, it was Xu Yang who went to invite, he had no relatives and no reason to return to Xinjiang, even if he fled alone, he didn't have much silver and no dry food on his body, and he didn't know how far he could escape, and he thought that if he could hide in the Hui Department for a few months, when the rumors of the Qing court's pursuit had passed, he would sneak back to the Central Plains, return to Wudang and change his name and surname to be a Taoist, thinking that he should be able to escape the catastrophe, so he naturally agreed to go to the Hui Ministry.
At this time, the follow-up troops of the Hui Department also arrived, and Yuan Shixiao and the three of them saw that the cattle and sheep led by hundreds of people were quite familiar, and after careful questioning, they understood why the wolves would go and return, and surrounded a few of them, but they were not angry, but felt that this was God's arrangement, so that they could only get back together after a catastrophe.
As for Zhang Zhaozhong, he didn't understand the key, so he naturally wouldn't be angry with Xu Yang, just because he was lucky to meet his old friend, so he was lucky to get a temporary place to stay, and sighed.
