Chapter Twenty-Three: Heroic Tears
Following.
It wasn't dawn yet, and it was still dark, as if it was still yesterday night. A fast horse galloped past, leaping over a stream and crossing the woods.
"Drive, drive, drive. "A handsome young man dressed in blue was whipping and riding a fast horse.
"Phew... Sigh. Exhausted, I drove the road for a day and a night. The young man stopped, picked up the water bag hanging from the saddle, took a sip of water, and muttered grumblingly.
This young man is the sea of clouds. Yunhai hurried from Luoyang City non-stop, hoping to catch up with Liu Peng's dart team as soon as possible.
Yun Hai hung the water bag back in the saddle and jumped off the horse's back, looking at the surroundings. I saw that there was only a path in front of the surrounding trees, and the sky was not bright, so it seemed that the surrounding environment was pitch black. The trail was only faintly visible.
Yun Hai thought to himself: "It seems that after passing this path, we have almost caught up with them, and there are still two hours before the sky is about to dawn, so let's rest here for a while." ”
Yunhai tied the horse to the tree on the side of the road, but he jumped onto the tree, and lay down on the tree, thinking of Li Xinlian, who said goodbye to the inn that day, and muttered to himself: "I don't know where Miss Liu is now." Then he closed his eyes slightly.
Time passes, and the hour is approaching. Above the trees, the sea of clouds slowly opened its eyes and looked at the path ahead. He jumped down from the tree, stretched, and muttered, "Go on, for it seems that crossing this path is their resting place." ”
Yunhai walked under the tree where the horse was tied, untied the horse, pulled the horse out, jumped on the horse's back and galloped away.
In the Sky Eagle Gate, Huang Tianzhong took advantage of the dawn of the day to excuse himself by saying that he and his wife Qian'er were going out to wander, so that Qian'er could see all the heroes in the martial arts. Explain that the disciples in the sect are optimistic about the Heavenly Eagle Gate, deal with all kinds of affairs, big and small, and prepare two fast horses. So he and Qian'er packed up and prepared to go out.
Huang Tianzhong and Qian'er each carried a bag of clothes and dry food, stood on the steps outside the door, watched the disciple leading the two gray horses, and walked down to lead the horses. Motioning for the disciples to stand back, the two jumped on horseback. Whip the horse on the back of the thigh, and run out of the city.
The horse galloped, Huang Tianzhong said with guilt in his heart to Qian'er: "Qian'er, I'm sorry." ”
Qian'er waved her horsewhip, and when she heard Huang Tianzhong apologizing to herself, she said for some reason: "Brother Zhong, what's wrong." ”
Huang Tianzhongsheng felt guilty that he couldn't give her a stable life soon after marrying Qian'er, but he asked her to work hard with him in the knife, so he said guiltily: "I wanted to get married and retire to the rivers and lakes with you." Live some ordinary days, but I didn't expect this Jiuyang Supreme Order to appear at this time, and I want you to be afraid of me. ”
Qian'er smiled and said: "Actually, you don't need to say much, I understand in my heart, besides, I am your wife, of course I live and die with you." ”
Qian'er knew that Huang Tianzhong was a person who valued love and righteousness, even if he retired to the rivers and lakes one day, as long as there was something in the Heavenly Eagle Gate, he would never stand idly by.
Huang Tianzhong listened to Qian'er's words, and felt even more disappointed by her in his heart, so he said: "After this matter, I will tell the master to leave the rivers and lakes and wander the cliff with you." ”
Qian'er didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and quickly whipped away, obviously Huang Tianzhong's words touched her heart.
Seeing this, Huang Tianzhong also rushed to catch up. The two of them galloped all the way without delaying a trace of time.
In Luoyang City, in the Wu Mansion.
Wu Sheng stood up abruptly and said, "What you said is true. ”
"Back to the master, what the subordinates saw is indeed true. A man dressed in a Heavenly Eagle Gate miscellaneous costume knelt down on one knee in front of Wu Sheng.
This man was obviously Wu Sheng's internal response to the Heavenly Eagle Gate.
"Good, good, good. I guessed right. Wu Sheng said hello again and again, and he was very excited in his heart.
Zhao Qinghai, who was sitting on the side, also stood up and said, "Then let's set off immediately." ”
"There's no hurry. Wu Sheng denied Zhao Qinghai's meaning, and then continued: "Although they left, it is impossible for them to take the same route as Liu Peng's old guy, and they must take a detour." So we have time to prepare. You can let the disciples of the Kuaidaomen monitor their movements first, and don't startle the snakes. ”
As soon as Zhao Qinghai heard that what Wu Sheng said was reasonable, he immediately called someone to fly the pigeon and pass the book to the disciples in the door.
Immediately, Wu Sheng ordered the housekeeper to prepare two fast horses.
Zhao Qinghai said: "Brother Wu, then what should we do next." ”
Wu Sheng said lightly: "Catch up with Liu Peng's old guy and them, and win the dart with other martial arts colleagues." ”
Zhao Qinghai was puzzled: "This... Here's why. ”
Although Zhao Qinghai is the head of the fast knife door, his scheming is much inferior to Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng said lightly: "Liu Peng's purpose is to make the masters in the martial arts think that the Jiuyang Supreme Order is in his hands, so we will do what he wants." ”
Zhao Qinghai still didn't know what Wu Sheng meant, so he looked at Wu Sheng blankly.
Wu Sheng smiled sinitiously and explained, "You have already informed your disciples to monitor Huang Tianzhong, so his whereabouts are naturally under our control, so we don't have to worry about them running away. It's Liu Peng, who is the one who has the Supreme Order of Jiuyang, so let's get rid of him by the hand of someone in the martial arts. ”
In fact, why Wu Sheng was so confident in mastering Huang Tianzhong's whereabouts, but Wu Sheng had already sent someone to follow them after Huang Tianzhong left.
Hearing Wu Sheng say this, Zhao Qinghai suddenly realized and said: "I see, everyone in the martial arts thinks that the Jiuyang Supreme Order is in the hands of Liu Peng, so they must find ways to seize it, as long as we keep up, we can add fuel to the fire." ”
"That's right, let's set off now. ”
As Wu Sheng said, everyone in the rivers and lakes thought that Liu Peng was carrying the Jiuyang Supreme Order, so Liu Peng was careful everywhere in a hurry, and he encountered many attacks along the way. Therefore, the journey has to be slowed down a lot.
Along the way, the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect have been attacked repeatedly and have been injured a lot. Huang Tianzheng was also angry in his heart, and he usually kept saying that the heroes and heroes in the rivers and lakes were upright, but they attacked in front, and they were even more hateful, because they didn't talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes and came to rob the darts.
Liu Peng and the others rushed to a forest. Liu Peng observed that the surrounding woods were hidden. It is a suitable place for pranayama, and it is suitable for a hidden ambush. He ordered the disciples to stop and rest for the time being, and let the rest of the disciples who were not injured take the wind and lay in ambush.
Huang Tianzheng got off the horse, walked to Liu Peng's side, and saw that Liu Peng at this time was no longer as majestic and ambitious as in the past, but like a bad old man who fell into Pingyang.
"Master. Huang Tianzheng's heart is no longer a taste, his master is old and still has to live a life of fighting and killing, and he feels guilty in his heart.
Liu Peng saw Huang Tianzheng coming, looked up and said, "Zheng'er, it's a burden for you to come back this time." ”
"No, if the master is in trouble, how can the disciple stand by and watch. Huang Tianzheng knelt in front of Liu Peng.
Although Liu Peng was pleased, after all, Huang Tian was brought up by him since he was a child, and although he was a teacher, he was like a father.
Liu Peng stretched out his hand to stroke Huang Tianzheng's head, his eyes were filled with tears, but they were full of fatherly love. Since Liu Sanniang's death, Liu Peng has been deeply shocked, and now he is in such a predicament, and many disciples have been affected. Although the hero's tears are not flicked, Liu Peng thought that even if he fought for his life, he would have to protect them.
At this moment, an anomaly was noticed in the woods.
