Chapter 13: The Road to Escape
Zhou Ke's expression was hideous, and he tried his best to use his internal strength to help Master Zhou's body and blood to stabilize it. However, this knife stabbed too deeply, even if he had twenty more years of internal strength, he could not prevent Master Zhou's vitality from disappearing.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Master Zhou's pulse stopped forever.
Zhou Ke closed his eyes and pounded the ground frantically, a hoarse growl kept coming out of his throat. Suddenly, he grabbed Zhou Yi's collar with one hand, his fists clenched quietly, and his eyes were full of blood.
"Hoo ......"
Zhou Ke couldn't get down, he picked up Master Zhou's corpse, and then walked down the mountain alone.
As the night passed, the entire Taiping County was shaken.
Zhou Ye, the eldest man of the Zhou family, died, and it is said that he died at the hands of Zhou Qing, the grandson of Zhou Kun. The government sent people around overnight to start looking for Zhou Qing's traces, and Zhou Ke summoned friends from the rivers and lakes, and also issued a chase and kill order.
However, this week's death of the old man not only did not make people feel regretful, but many people in the rivers and lakes felt happy in their hearts.
Because, this killed Master Zhou, but it was the grandson of Zhou Kun. If you find Zhou Qing, maybe you will have a chance to get the peerless martial arts that everyone in the world who practices martial arts is crazy about - Nine Heavens Absolute Easy!
Once when Zhou Kun was alive, they didn't dare to get involved. And Zhou Kun died, because the Zhou family had a lot of power in the Tianyun Kingdom, they were also afraid.
Now that even the Zhou family is going to kill Zhou Qing, then these people in the rivers and lakes will naturally not have any worries.
But Zhou Qing seemed to have completely disappeared into Taiping County, no matter how much effort the government spent, it did not find any clues about Zhou Qing.
But in just a few days, the news reached the capital of Tianyun Kingdom.
The four clouds who surrounded and suppressed the rebellious people returned from the crusade, met the monarch, visited the prime minister's mansion, and was rewarded by the general.
Among them, Zhou Ye's eldest son, Zhou Jian, is one of the four cloud generals. He looked at the letter in his hand and was furious, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet him that day.
However, in one hour, the envoy of the Heavenly Imperial Soldier of the National Capital was transferred by the Prime Minister. As for the general, he also sent a master.
This incident alarmed the monarch, if it was only a matter of the Taiping County Government before, now it is a major event for the entire Cloud Heaven Kingdom!
..............
In the past few days, the weather has been gloomy.
Zhou Qing sat silently in the small teahouse, and Xue Baisheng was opposite him. Compared with Zhou Qing's tired look, Xue Baisheng looked much more terrifying.
The pale face, and the bloodshot eyes, whoever sees it, will choose to avoid it.
In the past few days, Zhou Qing has been taken by Xue Baisheng to hide in Tibet. Now they have left Tianping County and entered Qingyang County.
This Cloud Heaven Kingdom is divided into four states and thirteen counties. There is not too much distance between these counties, and Xue Baisheng is not thinking of taking Zhou Qing to hide in Qingyang County, only by leaving this state can he have a chance to avoid the pursuit of the government.
Zhou Qing faintly felt that Xue Baisheng wanted to take him to escape to other big countries.
"Guest officer, you went and bought you dry food. ”
Xiao Er, who was dressed in gray-blue coarse cloth clothes, came from outside with an umbrella and put a steamed bun in an oily paper bag on the gray wooden table.
This little two looked at Xue Baisheng twice, and Xue Baisheng immediately turned his head.
"The guest officer doesn't seem to be looking very good, if he is tired from the journey, he can't do it, the little one knows that there is a good medical hall in the town ahead......"
"Got it, thank you for the kindness of this little brother. ”
Xue Baisheng lowered his head and responded softly.
The shopkeeper also seemed to know what Xue Baisheng meant, so he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then walked away on his own.
Zhou Qing and Xue Baisheng had been sitting in the teahouse until it was dark, and the rain had already stopped, but Xue Baisheng had no intention of leaving.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel strange, Xue Baisheng had been traveling overnight for the past few days, how could he stay in this small teahouse for so long today.
"Guest officer, the shop will be closed in a while. It's getting dark, and I'm going to stay in the town in front of me. ”
The shopkeeper walked up to Xue Baisheng and said, and the shopkeeper also walked over.
Zhou Qing has always bowed his head and been silent, he didn't dare to say much, because now Xue Baisheng was already on the verge of going mad, and if he moved his anger a little, it was very likely that he would be killed.
"Zhou Qing, you go and close the door!"
Xue Baisheng raised his head, revealing eyes that made people shudder.
The shopkeeper immediately took a few steps back, and even the shopkeeper couldn't help but be shocked.
"Guest, what are you...... I'm afraid that something is wrong with your body. The infirmary in the town in front of you is definitely the best within a hundred miles, so you should go to the infirmary to see the doctor earlier. ”
The shopkeeper also persuaded Xue Baisheng.
"Hehe......"
Xue Baisheng smiled coldly, and then stood up, his tall figure made the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper unable to help but stare at him.
Zhou Qing walked to the door puzzled, and then put the bolt on the door.
Click...... Bang!
When the bolt of the door was bolted, a sword light flashed, and the hot blood splashed up to a certain height, plopping!
The bodies of the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper fell to the ground, and in the pool of bright red blood, the beast-like ruthless eyes of Xue Baisheng were reflected.
Zhou Qing was immediately frightened and sat on the ground.
"You...... Why did you kill them!"
Zhou Qing trembled and pointed at Xue Baisheng and asked.
"I'm afraid the two of them know our identity, and if we don't kill them, the government will definitely follow their clues to find us.
If you want to live, you have to be ruthless!"
Xue Baisheng stuffed the dry food into the baggage, and then threw it on Zhou Qing, who gritted his teeth and clenched his fists slightly. Then he grabbed the burden with one hand, and then followed Xue Baisheng towards the backyard.
"When you kid killed Zhou Ye, you were ruthless, and now I kill two people, why are you so frightened. ”
Xue Baisheng glanced at Zhou Qing, and then said slowly.
Zhou Qing didn't speak, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
"It was Zhou Yi who killed him! If I had killed someone, I wouldn't have fled here with you. When I learn all your martial arts, sooner or later I will go to Zhou Yi to avenge my master!"
"Huh?"
Xue Baisheng couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
"It doesn't matter who killed it. Even if I believe you, the world will not believe you. It was his own son, and no one cared about you at that time. Now what Zhou Ye's old ghost son says, it's all his reason. Even if Zhou Yi kills him, the Zhou family will defend him, and in the end, they will still blame you.
So no matter who Zhou Ye died at, it was you who would bear the blame. ”
"Yes, even if the world thinks that I killed someone, I will still avenge my master!"
Zhou Qing's expression was very firm.
"Hmph! What kind of thing is Zhou Ye, can't you see it clearly?
On weekdays, he called you as a subordinate, and deceived you Yuntian Ling, and you didn't know it at all. The matter of digging up Zhou Kun's grave must have been instructed by Zhou Tong behind his back.
Zhou Tong has done a lot of bad things for Zhou Ye over the years, but this good reputation has been taken up by Zhou Ye.
This kind of rotten person, everyone is happy when he dies, not to mention that he died at the hands of his youngest son who values the most, which is really ironic.
It's good that you still want to avenge him, it's the lard that blinded your brain!"
Xue Baisheng scolded Zhou Qing, he was originally a person from the rivers and lakes, although he had no chivalrous heart, but he had more of the stinky temper of the people in the rivers and lakes.
"Aren't you in a hurry to escape, and now you're so thoughtful to teach me?"
Zhou Qing sneered, but Xue Baisheng swept over with a cold eye, and instantly slapped Zhou Qing into the mud pit.
"If it weren't for you deceiving the Nine Heavens Absolute Easy Cultivation Method, I would definitely be able to increase my martial arts several times, or even ten times, in a period of time.
Those cats and dogs, how could they be my opponents.
Lao Tzu will leave you alive for the time being, if I can't understand these nine days, then I will kill you first, and then go to seek the whereabouts of the other peers.
I tell you, if you are not honest from now on, I will make your life worse than death!"
Xue Baisheng snorted coldly, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he continued to walk forward.
Zhou Qing exhaled deeply, although Xue Baisheng had murdered him several times in the past few days, Zhou Qing did not think about escaping.
Because Zhou Qing knew that if he escaped, he would not be able to escape from Xue Baisheng's palm. And now even in this Qingyang County, there are portraits of the two of them everywhere.
If the portrait of Xue Baisheng is a little bit better, but it is a little similar, and it is difficult for outsiders to see it if he dresses up a little. But Zhou Qing's outline is depicted extremely carefully, Zhou Qing has never been painted, this is unexpected, the first time I saw his portrait, but he was wanted by the government and pasted on the wall.
The two of them walked for a few days, and they were already about to leave the scope of Qingyang Town. If you walk a few dozen miles further, I am afraid that you will completely leave this Nanbang region.
It was a cloudy day, and there was a slight breeze on the road. Because there are mountains all around, Xue Baisheng and Zhou Qing hurried a lot faster, after all, the people of this official mansion may be ambushed in this kind of place.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Xue Baisheng coughed a few times, and the blood and qi in his body were retrograde, so that he finally couldn't support it, so he had to choose to rest under a tree.
"Sit down!"
Xue Baisheng shouted at Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing answered, and then sat next to Xue Baisheng.
"This is out of the Nanbang Domain, I can not kill you, but we find a place, you will teach me the Nine Heavens Absolute Ease thoroughly, and I will definitely not kill you.
Even wait for the wind to pass and let you go.
After all, there is no deep hatred between you and me. In the cultivation of martial arts, although you asked me, the Nine Heavens Absolute Yi is a martial arts wonder, you know how to cultivate, but you don't understand the mystery.
This is the reason why you can't exert your internal strength, otherwise Zhou Yi will definitely not be your opponent that day. ”
Xue Baisheng secretly tore off the red part of the corner of his clothes, and then threw it behind him. He looked at Zhou Qing very gently, hoping to make Zhou Qing say what he wanted.
"You promised to let me go?"
"I, Xue Baisheng, am a hypocrite like Zhou Ye, and if I say let you go, I will definitely not break my word. ”
"Well, when we leave this Lambang region, I'll teach you!"
Zhou Qing said this, but he actually had a general idea in his heart.
Since Xue Baisheng always thought that the martial arts moves he gave were fake, then he gave him the real fake moves. Now that Xue Baisheng's body has already reached its limit, if he continues to cultivate indiscriminately, he will inevitably be unable to use martial arts for a while.
"Looks like you're kid....... Not good!"
Xue Baisheng's face changed drastically, he immediately grabbed Zhou Qing with one hand, and then hid in the crack of the rock under the steep slope behind him.
After a few breaths, a father and daughter hurriedly ran out of the woods in front of them. The forest was followed by a series of angry footsteps, and murderous shouts and curses continued.
