Volume 2 Lan Zhou Chapter 6 The clothes are warm and the blood is hot
As the sun sets, in the snowy weather, the heavy clouds in the sky are layered on top of each other, and half of them are dyed with haze. A few farmhouses in the distance, for some reason, did not even rise from the smoke of the cooking, as if in the short time of this sunset and dusk, they suddenly became lifeless.
The atmosphere in the forest was also very heavy, and even embarrassing.
Chu Ting looked at Zhao Wu'an, who was standing more than a dozen steps away from him, with a very complicated expression, not knowing what to do. The words have come to this point, whether it is true or false, Chu Ting is not easy to grasp. Although he has the name of the devil, Chu Ting is not the kind of first-line one, and the silver money handed over by Li Huang during the day recognized it as the standard of the Gusu Meng family, thinking that it was a fox and a fake tiger, so he was bored and came over to join in the fun. If this person really has a background as Zhao Wu'an said, it is not very easy to start.
Of course, once you enter the Xiliang Greedy Demon Palace, you have to act without scruples. However, Chu Ting also knew that behind this unscrupulous situation, life was probably not very easy.
Staring at Zhao Wu'an, who was killed halfway, Chu Ting rarely hesitated.
Li Huanglai and Duan Taoli had nothing to worry about, but he didn't know the depth of Zhao Wu'an, and it was extremely irrational to act rashly. But if he let the three of them go here, he would be dumb and eat Coptis himself, but it might affect the hall master's plan to return to the Central Plains.
After weighing the two phases, Chu Ting still decided to compromise and test first, so he pretended to have no scruples and said: "If you want me to stop, it's not enough to give this reason." It's a big deal to kill you all, and when the time comes, who knows who I am?"
Zhao Wu'an was not shocked, and quickly replied: "You will stay in Jiangning Mansion, there must be a plan, and now you are in chaos, I am afraid that it is not only you who will be destroyed." ”
Chu Ting was shocked: "How do you know!"
Zhao Wu'an said lightly: "The reputation of the Greedy Demon Hall has been heard of for a long time. ”
Chu Ting's heart was extremely shocked, and all the tentative strategies he had calculated before had failed. This person obviously can't talk with him for a long time, otherwise he won't say that his identity is in danger, but I'm afraid that even the entire plan of the Greedy Demon Hall will be seen through by him here!
If something happens to him, it is a small matter, if the hall master's plan fails, he is afraid that if the king is angry, he will have to ambush for thousands of miles, and he Chu Ting is the first to bear the brunt, and it is difficult to escape the blame!
"Chu Ting, you go to Jiangning Mansion to hibernate and wait for news from a big man. Thou shalt not command, thou shalt not thou shalt treacher!"
The hall master's majestic words echoed in his ears like a bell, striking him all the time.
Thinking of this, Chu Ting was very uneasy in his heart, realizing that he could not stay here for a long time, he took two steps back, he suddenly turned around, and quickly escaped from the dense forest.
You can't kill it, and you may not be able to beat Zhao Wu'an, at this juncture, Chu Ting still chose to turn around and run.
In any case, he can't be trapped here! He still bears the great work entrusted by the hall master!
Chu Ting quickly ran towards the farmhouses.
Zhao Wu'an remained silent, standing quietly in place, watching Chu Ting run wildly all the way, rushing out of the hundred zhang, and gradually becoming smaller, before he approached Li Duan and the two who fell to the ground.
He first helped Duan Taoli up, pressed her tiger mouth behind him, and said softly: "If it hurts, shout out." Then he slammed it.
Duan Taoli exclaimed in surprise, sweating like rain, and almost collapsed into Zhao Wu'an's arms.
Zhao Wu'an pressed her wrist, gently turned back and forth, and after confirming that it had been reset and there was no blockage to move, he tore off a long belt from the white robe, bandaged Duan Taoli carefully, and carried her to the rock, letting her rest against the rock, and then turned around and approached Li Huanglai.
Chu Ting's difficulty has been solved, but Li Huanglai, who fell to the ground, still looked terrified, and asked in disbelief: "Who are you? How can you know the names of my parents?"
Full-term and lonely, his mother died at the age of seven, he was taken around by the old servants of the family, and experienced the hardships of the world, until four years ago, he was found and helped by Meng Qianlei, and stepped into the gate of Meng's mansion, becoming an elegant appearance, but in fact a lonely doorman.
The old servant raised him for more than ten years, although he was old and weak, and his eyes were difficult to see, but the subset of the history of the scriptures never let Li Huang put it down for a day, and he developed a bookish temperament, and when he entered the Meng family, he did not lose the atmosphere of Zhumen.
It is true that Li Huanglai tried his best to pretend to be an elegant background, but the Meng family has wealth, and his education since childhood has not fallen behind.
Zhao Wu'an looked at his face, and the look in his eyes couldn't tell whether it was sadness or helplessness, but he said lightly: "Adopted by the Meng family, what have they taught you over the years?"
In the dead situation, Li Huanglai did not hide it, and simply hissed: "Restore the country." Restore my Li Tang's world and avenge the 300,000 Li people in Jinling. ”
Hearing this, Duan Taoli, who was resting against the rock, was stunned.
Zhao Wu'an nodded and said disapprerovingly, "Then what did you do?"
Li Huanglai was stunned by the question, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Wu'an suddenly spread his palm upward, and a crisp sword sound sounded in the box behind him, and then a sword rushed out of the box and hung in his palm.
Dusk Ancient Road, Zhao Wu'an said in a deep voice.
"Wu Jiuhao for the grace of a meal, with a scholar, three feet of life, standing on the ground to break through the nine realms, among thousands of troops and horses, a sword cut off the head of the enemy general Xiang, awe-inspiring Daoyun condensation, cast the sword in my hand with high intentions to pick mulberries. This is your father's path. ”
Immediately after, he spread out his other hand, and there was a long roar behind him, and a thin and dexterous sword flew out of the box and stopped above his palm.
"Li Jing is a declining nobleman, a scholar and a first, cloth and a festival, and has been working hard all his life to recapture Yanyun. What he wants is not to revive the Tang Dynasty, but to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. In the defeat of Youzhou, Li Jing vomited blood and died outside the pass, and there has been no burial so far. His Dao Yun is as long and slender as spring water, with three points of cold and arrogant bones, seven points of spirit, and condensed into this poppy beauty in my hand. ”
Zhao Wu'an said lightly: "I once promised one person to give each of the six flying swords in the box to their former sword masters. It stands to reason that both swords should be yours. ”
Li Huanglai was stunned.
However, as the two flying swords flew into the box at the same time, Zhao Wu'an also changed his words, "But I'm not so generous, I can't give it to you yet." The reason why you don't hesitate to provoke the Greedy Demon Temple and come to the rescue is just to owe you a favor for your elders. Li Huanglai, your biological father and uncle are both true heroes who stood up to the sky and the earth before Yijiazi. And the way you look at it is really uncomfortable for me. ”
Li Huanglai furrowed his brows, endured the pain in his chest, and said angrily: "What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing special. Your self-righteous management is really hard to shake the foundation of this dynasty. Zhao Wu'an glanced at him, seemed to have lost interest in the conversation, turned around, and walked towards Duan Taoli, "Wu Jiuhao and Li Jing, I don't agree with their approach, but I admire them very much. And from you, I don't see a glimmer of hope for the revival of the post-Don. I think instead of having a surname Li, you might as well be called Wu Huang. ”
Li Huanglai's face turned pale, frowned, and forced the last trace of anger in his chest, and said word by word: "Freezing three feet, how can it be cold for a day? ”
Zhao Wu'an's back paused.
"Are you so sure that you can revive the Tang Dynasty?" Zhao Wu'an asked lightly.
Li Huanglai said categorically: "If you don't make this move, you vow not to return to your hometown." ”
Zhao Wu'an walked up to Duan Taoli, bent down and picked her up. Valan's dark blue dress dragged to the ground, and Zhao Wu'an shrunk her toes so as not to step on the corners of her skirt.
"Interesting, I'm waiting for that day. ”
After that, he was full of thunder, and as soon as he collected and released, he had already stepped out a few feet away, leaving Li Huanglai far behind.
The sun was setting, casting a scarlet cloud in the western sky.
Duan Taoli was stunned and said, "Brother Jialan......"
"My name is Zhao Wu'an. ”
"......" Duan Taoli sighed helplessly, "Why don't you save him?" Li Huanglai's original intention was to help me restore the country, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”
"He is not wounded to death. Zhao Wu'an said lightly, "For a piece of false news, he can enter the deep mountains with empty hands, how can this kind of heart be reassuring? ”
Duan Taoli sighed: "This matter is also because I am too reckless, and I always feel that the Valan guards will protect me, and they act too carelessly......"
"Li Huanglai's foundation is very clean, and he was used as a puppet by Meng Qianlei, so he could have been safe. But the Meng family is a big surname in the previous dynasty, and the status of Li Tang was extremely high when he was in the country, so he naturally wanted to be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Great Song Dynasty, and he was not unhappy. When I was in Hangzhou, I handled a case and was involved with the Meng family, and I happened to be used to borrow a knife to kill people. Without the backer of the Meng family, Li Huang would be alone, and it would be difficult to set off any storms. ”
Seeing that Duan Taoli could hear it, Zhao Wu'an pursed his lips and concluded: "It is precisely because of this that Chu Ting feels that it is harmless to kill him. The reason why I reported the names of his parents is also to shake Chu Ting, so that he can think more before he starts, and most likely he can save the lives of the two of you. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Wu'an saw that he had walked far away, and several farmhouses were close in front of him, thinking that he was almost to a place with people, so he put Duan Taoli down. She just injured her wrist and lost her whole body, and after resting for so long, she should be able to walk on her own.
After all, he has agreed with An Qing to grow old together, and it is somewhat unreasonable to hold on to other women.
Duan Taoli also jumped off the ground quite self-consciously, gently snorted his dislocated wrist, and said puzzledly: "That Chu Ting, said that he was a person from the Greedy Demon Palace, listen to him, and come to Jiangning to be ordered by the master." Why are you going to kill someone if you don't agree with each other?"
"Xiliang Greedy Demon Palace, there are countless devils, and there is a tendency to override all the evil sects in the Central Plains and achieve the first demon path in the world. Joining the Greedy Demon Hall and being a demon leader, isn't it just that when you walk the rivers and lakes, you can make people change their style, act recklessly, and have no scruples?" Zhao Wu'an said leisurely, "Rise up and kill, of course, it is also among them. ”
People can't look good, Chu Ting looks like a young man from a good family, harmless to humans and animals, in fact, there is countless blood on his hands, I am afraid that he will be better than the veteran who has fought on the battlefield for decades. Obviously, he could fight to the death, and he fought with Zhao Wu'an, but he chose to flee in the wilderness. Although it looks very undemonic, it is the safest choice. It's a big deal to change your face, and then lurk in Jiangning Mansion.
Zhao Wu'an has traveled to the rivers and lakes for several years, and it is this kind of person who is most afraid. Although the fangs are long, they can endure sharpness, and they cut the root of their tongues, and they are willing to wait forbearly. Compared with Li Huang and others, Chu Ting's qualifications are too special.
Most of the sunset had sunk into the mountains, and the clouds were almost dyed blood-red.
Duan Taoli suddenly frowned, sniffed, and said in a deep voice, "Something is wrong...... Here, what a strong smell of blood?"
The air was filled with blood, and after Duan Taoli reminded him, Zhao Wu'an quickly noticed the abnormality.
Zhao Wu'an's first reaction was that Chu Ting rushed to this farmhouse, wantonly killed people, and left, leaving a barren land.
However, the empty houses in front of him were dyed scarlet in the setting sun, and a few chimneys were lifeless, as if telling a different truth.
He remembered that long before Chu Ting left, there was no cooking smoke in these farmhouses. And not long before he bumped into Li Huanglai and the others, he could still see the cooking smoke.
Duan Taoli pulled out the dagger with his left hand, and subconsciously wanted to take the lead, but was blocked by Zhao Wu'an, and he was held back behind him.
"I'm not one of your guards. Zhao Wu'an didn't look back, and walked straight to the village.
In the mountains and forests next to it, a figure suddenly flashed by. Zhao Wu'an couldn't see his appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and frowned.
In a lonely village deep in the mountains, the thatch on the roof is dark black, and there are fresh blood stains splattered on the loess walls.
A female Taoist girl in a blue and white Taoist robe, wearing a luxurious fox fur, stood by the dry well with a sword. The snow-white side face was stained with bright red blood, and under the setting sun, it became more and more red, almost hot.
She looked at the lifeless village and was stunned.
The blood on the tip of the sword dripped like petals.
