Chapter Thirty-Six: Turning the Tiger Out of the Mountain

In the following southward journey, Azule and Qingzhuo still maintained the mode of night training. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Azule suddenly made a new sword move, which surprised Qing Zhuo. Qing Zhuo learned some secrets of Azule's life from his father Yi Tianxing, and was told not to ask more, although the two have now become lovers, it is normal to have their own secrets. Of course, Azul couldn't tell Qing Zhuo that there was an old man's wisp of divine consciousness parasitic in the sword, which obviously couldn't be explained, so he only deduced that he was taught swordsmanship by the alien during his time in Gongcheng, and now he is just slowly recalling some sword moves that he memorized. For Qing Zhuo, it is better for Azule to become stronger and stronger, and from the seemingly scattered but actually directional sword moves of the Qingfeng Sword, the "Cloud Piercing Sword Technique" and the "Drifting Snow Sword Technique", we can probably guess that these are related to a mysterious and powerful sect in the Central Plains. Therefore, the two reached a temporary balance, asking each other less questions and helping each other improve each other's martial arts.

Azule and Qing Zhuo will still take advantage of a night to run to a place far away and sometimes close to hunt robbers, but unlike before Qing Zhuo was injured, with the improvement of the two people's martial arts, it is more than enough to deal with the general scene, even if they encounter a strong enemy, they have also tried to use two swordsmanship at the same time, one attack and one defense, either the enemy must flee in the wilderness, or calmly retreat, the two are overjoyed.

The stewards and dart masters of the caravan also seemed to have received the order to slow down silently, so the original one-month trip had been dragged on for nearly two months, and there was not much time left before they got out of the grassland, just a few days.

As he got closer to the end, Qing Zhuo's temper became bigger and bigger, and he often lost his temper with the caravan's steward for no reason, and took the initiative to suggest that he only walk half a day's journey every day, but in fact, the caravan's stewards and dart masters seemed to be afraid of Qing Zhuo, and acquiesced to this approach.

In the afternoon, the caravan set off again. Since Qing Zhuo had never received a letter from his father agreeing to enter Shuncheon with Azule, and he lost his temper from time to time, Azul also understood that Qing Zhuo was unwilling to part with him, and he could only comfort Qing Zhuo in the carriage with kind words and amuse her with stories from the grassland. While the two were talking, they heard the sound of horses, swords clashing, fists and feet fighting not far away, and even the crying of women and children.

Qing Zhuo lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked the dart master on horseback next to him what had happened. The dart master went to investigate, and replied that he had met the enemy and had a fight, and it turned out that the enemy and the robber were both seeking revenge and robbing. When Azule first entered the rivers and lakes, he was a teenager, and he was curious about revenge and robbery, and he was eager to try it, and wanted to follow the dart master to have a look.

The steward of the caravan rode to Azule and Qing Zhuo's car, ostensibly to discuss, but in fact it was a request, hoping that Qing Zhuo would not force himself to come out. Seeing that Qing Zhuo did not reply, the steward let go of the hanging heart in his heart, and ordered the caravan to continue its journey south.

Before she had gone far, a woman with a bloodstained arm and a crying woman actually broke through the interception of the caravan dart masters, and ran to a place not far from the carriage, although she was held by the dart master, but shouted loudly, as if she had known that there were important people in the carriage, and asked for a life, to save the women and children.

Qing Zhuo had been upset for the past few days, lifted the curtain, and said to the steward: "Easy to manage, it is too much to see death and not save it, you take a few dart masters to discuss whether you can exchange money for the lives of women and children?" The woman who came to ask for help left with great gratitude, and said that she was willing to do so, only asking for her life, and willing to give up her property. Although Steward Yi was very helpless, he could only carry out Qing Zhuo's orders to the letter, and brought a few dart masters to adjust, and the caravan stopped from a distance, and Azule and Qing Zhuo also got out of the carriage and rode on their horses.

I saw that after Steward Yi rushed over with four dart masters, the two sides stopped for a short time and argued loudly, as if there were signs of solving the problem. However, the situation took a turn for the worse, and it didn't take long for Manager Yi and the dart master to fight with the other party, and they were besieged by the other party.

Qing Zhuo grabbed the horse's belly and was about to rush up, but was pulled by Azule. Qing Zhuo came back to her senses, looked at the eyes of the dart masters looking at her, and ordered loudly: "Go to a few more people, rescue them, and then we will not be idle." The four dart masters deliberately came to protect Qingzhuo and Azule, and the rest headed towards the place where the two sides were fighting.

After another group of people rushed away, there was a short shouting and scolding, and there was no truce between the two sides, but the side that was originally standing up and the dart masters also fought. Qing Zhuo and Azule were anxious, only to see that the robbers actually began to chase and kill the women and children, and the women and children also ran towards the caravan, and the robbers who ran slowly were killed on the spot.

The closer you got to the caravan, the more women and children were killed and wounded. Azule couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to rush over to save people, but was stopped by Qing Zhuo, and the remaining four dart masters glanced at each other, one of them gestured with his eyes, and the two dart masters came out of the crowd.

There were only two robbers chasing and killing women and children, and they happened to be facing two dart masters, but they saw that six more robbers and the enemy came out to kill women and children, and there was a great tendency that they would never give up if they didn't kill. Seeing that the caravan was getting closer and closer, the remaining two dart masters who were guarding Azule and Qingzhuo still did not move, and one of them roared, only to see several guys in the caravan draw their swords out of nowhere and rush forward to meet the enemy. The robbers who intercepted and killed the women and children were very skilled in martial arts, and they were inseparable from the dart master and his men, and from the eyes of Asul, these people were superior to him in martial arts, and the swords were dangerous, and they had the potential to fight for their lives.

Only a dozen or so women and children had arrived at the caravan's side, several women cried loudly and asked for help, one of the guards left behind the dart master to separate them from each other, the women looked at several warbands and were inseparable, and the caravan here had no intention of continuing to help, and actually helped the old and the young to go north. The women and children wept and cried and did not run far, only to see two black-clad and masked horseback riders coming from the other direction, and in an instant two women with children in their arms were killed, and the children rolled to the side, shaking their mother's corpse with their little hands and calling out loudly.

When Azul grew up to nearly sixteen years old, what he lacked and hoped for most was the love of his parents, and at this time, where could he suppress his grief and anger to see this tragic scene of separation between mother and son. Azul looked at the sad child and felt empathy, thinking that maybe he was like this when he was a child, but he didn't know that his parents had left him.

Azul didn't pay attention to Qing Zhuo and the guards' dart master, his blood surged, and he didn't think too much about it, and rushed to the black-clothed man who intercepted and killed women and children.
