Part 4 Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke Chapter 2 Plum Blossom Villa
The night was cold and silent, and Tuoba Shiruo and the others fled from Lao Wangzhuang without looking back. galloped all the way, but to his surprise, he found that he had returned to the original point.
"What's going on?" exclaimed Jos.
"This is a trick, to be precise, the cloth array, and the whole village is part of the array. Fu Gongjin sensed that something was wrong, "The enemy's tricks among us are now mired in them, and we need to be vigilant at all times." ”
"Dismount at speed, back to back, and sit until dawn, so as not to be taken advantage of and broken by each one. Tuoba Shiruo ordered.
The four of them turned over and dismounted, back to back, forming a circle, all intently watching their surroundings.
With a "whoosh", a man in black sprang out from among the four people, his body was extremely fast, fast like a ghost, and his double knives slashed towards Ruomeng.
If she didn't have time to react, she watched as the enemy's knife approached her face. said that it was too late and that it was fast, Fu Gongjin and Tuoba Shiruo shot at the same time, with two swords and two swords, to stop the attack of the man in black.
Seeing that the blow missed, the man in black flew away from the four of them, and disappeared into the thick night in the blink of an eye.
"Flying away, coming and going without a trace. Fu Gongjin guessed the origin of the other party, "This group of people is none other than the legendary Black Sail Eight Banners that crisscross the northern frontier." ”
"What are the Black Sail Eight Flags?" asked Tuoba Shiruo.
"The Black Sails Eight Banners are the killers of the legendary Little Khan of the Di people, Helton. Everyone is dressed in black and robed, the only difference is that the totem on the arm is different. The best at night action, I didn't expect them to come here. Fu Gongjin explained.
"It must be because Lordton covets the treasures of the Bohai Kingdom that he will send them. In this way, other martial arts people are also more auspicious. "Tuoba Shiruo.
"We'll wait until dawn. Fu Gongjin said.
The night is like a bloody mouth, devouring the light. Only the cry of an owl could be heard, telling the four of them that there was danger here at any time.
When the night is gone, the dawn comes.
The originally quiet Lao Wangzhuang was once again crowded and lively. The four people in it seem to be living in a dream, and everything seems unreal. In broad daylight, it was bright and clear, but the feeling was boundless darkness.
The four of them each led their horses and walked slowly, cautiously guarding their surroundings. What I didn't expect was that I actually walked out of Lao Wangzhuang safely. Looking back, the village was filled with smoke, but everything was still business as usual.
"It's terrible, where is the other party hiding?" Ruosi felt scared in his heart, "Will it still be like this in the next village?"
Tuoba Shiruo was calm, turned his head and asked Fu Gongjin: "What does Brother Fu think?"
"The other party tried his best to tell us that they were determined to get this treasure. Fu Gongjin's words changed, "In other words, the descendants of the Yuan family must also exist, and they have fallen into their grasp." ”
"I understand that the more thorns ahead, the closer we are to the truth. Tuoba Shiruo laughed, "Let me personally meet the strength of the Black Sails Eight Banners again, and let them know the ability of the Tuoba family." ”
The four of them turned on their horses and headed to a new place.
In the cave, dozens of black-clothed people stood expressionless.
"They left Laowangzhuang, as if they were going to Meihua Villa. A man in black said.
"Mei Lun, the owner of Plum Blossom Villa, is one of the people the Great Khan fears the most, and they must be trying to use this as a breakthrough to find our weaknesses. The man in black said.
"I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so I still bring Yuan Mengchen's speed back to the tooth tent and hand it over to the Great Khan to deal with. The man in black continued.
"It makes sense, you lead the team to speed up and take Yuan Mengchen north to return to the tooth tent. I took some of my brothers and followed them to see what was going on. The man in black said.
As a result, dozens of black-clothed people in the cave were divided into two, and the two leaders of the black-clothed men each left the cave with a group of people.
The man in black who was responsible for escorting Yuan Mengchen back to the tooth tent came halfway and was shocked to find that a crisis was coming. In the valley deep in the forest, there was a terrible howl.
Tuoba Shiruo and others came to Plum Blossom Villa, and the gatekeeper told them that the owner of the village would not return for a short time after going out.
Tuoba Shiruo and the others were helpless and were about to leave. But I saw a team of people coming towards him, led by a man in his forties, with a goatee, gentle eyes, and a grandmaster's bearing.
The gatekeeper exclaimed in surprise, "Owner, you're back." ”
Mei Lun saw that there were four young people standing outside the door of the villa, dismounted and asked, "I don't know where you came from, why did you come to my Plum Blossom Villa?"
Tuoba Shiruo replied: "We are people from the rivers and lakes who are exploring treasures, and we originally wanted to join in the fun, and we didn't want anyone to take the lead and kill all the family members I brought." Now there are only four of us left, and we have heard the name of the owner for a long time, so we have come to run and seek a way to survive. ”
Mei Lun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I am a guest from afar, Mei will entertain you, please discuss it in detail in the village." ”
The four of them followed Mei Lun into the Plum Blossom Villa, and were greeted by the plum blossom forest, followed by the main hall. Mei Lun was hospitable, instructed his subordinates to arrange four upper rooms for the four people, and at the same time asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet for the four people.
During the banquet, Tuoba Shiruo asked many times about the Black Sail Eight Banners. Mei Lun knows everything, and he says everything. It surprised everyone present and made them feel close.
After the banquet, Mei Lun and the four of them chatted in the gazebo. Mei Lun is well-informed, Tuoba Shiruo travels from south to north, talking about the customs and food of various places, I really hate to meet too late.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Dad, Dad, I'm back." ”
The four of them raised their eyes to see where the voice came from, and saw a handsome woman, carrying a sword, walking in.
The woman seemed very happy to see her father chatting with so many people. Walking to the pavilion, he first saluted his father, and then glanced at Tuoba Shiruo, and didn't care. When he saw Fu Gongjin again, his eyes rolled on his face.
Fu Gongjin is nicknamed "Jin Fu Lang", which means that he is a talent, and his face is like brocade.
Seeing that her daughter was so impolite, Mei Lun reminded: "Ling'er can't be so rude in front of guests." ”
Mei Ling arched her hand and said, "Yes, yes, my daughter knows her mistake." He looked at Fu Gongjin again, "I don't know the name of the son." ”
Fu Gongjin was slightly embarrassed, stood up and responded: "Xiaosheng Fu Gongjin is the general of my young lady's house. ”
Mei Ling then looked at Tuoba Shiruo and said, "It turns out that he is your person, what do you call this girl?"
"Well said, under Tuoba Shiruo. Tuoba Shiruo stood up and said.
"Tuoba, I heard that there is a famous Tuoba family outside the gate, and the girl is not from the Tuoba family!" Mei Ling said.
"The Tuoba family is a famous family, how can a little woman be comparable to a woman. "Tuoba Shiruo modestly responded.
Mei Lun hurriedly rounded the field, "It's a guest from afar, don't be so rude, daughter." Then he ordered his subordinates to arrange for the four of them to go down and rest.
Tuoba Shiruo and Fu Gongjin glanced at each other, which was meaningful.
The two walked in front, and Ruosi and Ruomeng walked behind.
Tuoba Shiruo whispered: "Mei Lun must know who we are, why don't you expose it?"
"Either you have a ghost in your heart, or you have other plans. Fu Gongjin responded.
"Be careful at night. "Tuoba Shiruo.
"Understood. Fu Gongjin said.
Seeing the four of them walk away, Mei Lun's face sank, and he said coldly: "My precious daughter, you want them to know that I have seen through their identities, right?"
"Dad, don't hide your ears and steal the bell. The people of the Tuoba family are all capable of conquest and habitual warfare, and are resourceful and decisive. They've already seen your tricks. Mei Ling didn't care.
Mei Lun thought carefully about what was indeed the case, and asked, "How did you handle that person?"
"He's grateful to me now, and he really thinks I've taken a crush on him. Mei Ling laughed.
Mei Lun Daxi "Very good, you have to continue to work hard, don't make mistakes." ”
"Got it. Mei Ling looked unhappy, "Dad, it's really boring to face such a fool every day." ”
"People are boring, or are silver boring?" said Mei Lun.
Mei Ling smiled: "Of course it's silver fun, but ...... I think people are also interesting. ”
Mei Lun's face changed, and he warned: "Don't mess around, they are retainers of the Tuoba family, and they are absolutely loyal." If you show a flaw and mess things up, don't enter this house again. ”
"I know!" Mei Ling responded, but she didn't think so in her heart. Eyes rolled, and the mind was counted.
Fu Gongjin lives alone in the West Cross Courtyard, and the environment is quiet and refreshing. Running around day after day, I was a little tired. Unexpectedly, Mei Lun didn't dare to make a sudden attack, and fell asleep on the comfortable bed.
Boom...... Boom...... Boom......
Fu Gongjin was awakened by a knock on the door, subconsciously held the sword next to the pillow, and asked tentatively, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Master Fu. Mei Ling said.
"It turned out to be Miss Mei, why are you looking for me so late?" Fu Gongjin said.
"Open the door, and I'll tell you. Mei Ling said.
Fu Gongjin put down his sword, walked to the door and stopped, and said through the door: "In the dead of night, it is really inappropriate for lonely men and widows to be in the same room. If the girl has something to say, please tell me tomorrow. ”
Mei Ling was a little angry and said: "I just came to bring tea to my son to quench my thirst, why should my son refuse me thousands of miles away!"
"I can't sleep even more when I drink tea, so I think it's better to be free. Fu Gongjin responded.
"Hey, it's good to drink tea. If you don't drink tea, how can you sleep? Mei Ling suddenly changed her tone, very provocative.
Fu Gongjin was thinking about how to refuse, but he heard footsteps outside the door.
"Daughter, what are you doing here?" said Mei Lun.
"Nothing, I'm just passing by. After Mei Ling finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Fu Gongjin heard the crisp footsteps, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
"Master Fu, you can rest for a long time. Mei Lun said through the door, "I let that daughter who is not angry go back to rest, what a disturbance and offense." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, please go back and rest. Fu Gongjin responded.
Then, heavy footsteps were heard outside the door, and it was Mei Lun leaving.
Fu Gongjin returned to the bed and lay down, unable to sleep peacefully, scenes of personal experience flashed in his mind, and a bold idea was born.
