Chapter 22: Escape

The next day, when I woke up, Xuan Si was not around, just a small bag by my pillow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I thought Xuansi was just going out for something, but when I got up, I found that Xuansi's burden was gone.

I opened the small baggage left by Xuan Si, and there was nothing in it except a small bottle and a letter. I hurriedly opened the envelope, and Juanxiu's words were written on the white paper: I had something important to do, and I couldn't bear to part, so I said goodbye without saying goodbye. There will be a day when we meet, don't look for it, don't think about it! The rivers and lakes are sinister, and you cherish yourself!

I was a little stunned for a moment, but I didn't know what Xuan Si was about, so he didn't say goodbye to me, and left the book. Thinking that Xuan Si might have taken the treasure map back to the Seven Star Villa, he touched it in his arms, and the treasure map was still there. I couldn't help but feel a little depressed in my heart, but I couldn't think of where Xuan Si had gone for a while. Reading the message in the letter, I didn't ask me to wait for her in this Yangzhou city, thinking that I should have gone to a farther place.

Thinking of the bits and pieces of getting along with Xuan Si for more than half a year, I still feel lost in my heart.

I found Xiao Er and asked Xuan Si what time he went out. Xiao Er was a little surprised, and thought I should know, but Xuan Si went out at the time of the third watch, and it was the horse that he helped Xuan Si lead at that time.

I just smiled and didn't speak. I only asked Xiao Er to help bring breakfast to the room, and by the way, the horse was ready, and Xiao Er left.

Thinking that there is still a treasure map on his body that has not been handed over, he must go back to the Seven Star Villa, maybe he can meet Xuan Si in the Seven Star Villa? Now he went out of the city and went southeast.

On this day, I was already outside the city of Ankang. I didn't go into the city, I was going to take a break outside the city gates and walk around the city. I stopped at a tea house in the shade of a tree outside the city gate, and asked for a pot of herbal tea to sit and rest.

On the other table, there were two Jianghu guests, who were drinking tea and talking, talking about the "Tianshan Six Yang Gong", but they were going to the Qinling Mountains between the capital and Yangzhou to search for me and Xuansi. I just smiled wryly, but I didn't care.

Along the way, I have met no less than a dozen groups of people in the rivers and lakes with the same purpose. When I first heard it, I was a little surprised, but now I am numb. It's also funny to think that Xuan Si and I are just two killers who don't enter the stream, but they have led to a great pursuit by the entire rivers and lakes and the court, and now they are about to jump out of the encirclement from under the noses of these people.

After eating dry food, two large bowls of herbal tea are also refreshing.

After paying for the tea, I was just about to get on my horse, but I heard the horse's hooves behind me, and a white horse had already rushed over, bringing up a cloud of dust. I took the horse away, but the white horse did not enter the city, but went toward the wall. I didn't care, and when the dust fell a little, I got on my horse and left.

It didn't take long to walk, and gradually it was already into the mountain, although it was an official road, but it was also a little difficult to walk. I slowed down and walked slowly along the official road.

Turning a hill, there was a faint sound of fighting in front of me. I didn't care, I just urged the horse to slow down. The sound of the fight was getting closer and closer, and a white horse could be seen parked next to the official road in the distance, and two men in red were surrounding a young man in white.

I saw that the horse was a little familiar, but it was the same fast horse I had met outside Ankang City before. I let the horses move around on their own until the white horse stopped. When they saw me coming, the three of them still fought with themselves, but they couldn't pull away.

The two men in red were fierce and fierce, and they greeted the young man in white. Although the young man in white was a little embarrassed, the long sword kept flying up and down to block, and you came and went, and he would not be defeated for a while.

"Your Flame Sect has already killed dozens of people from my Zhuge family, do you have to kill them all?"

The slightly chubby red-clothed man laughed and said, "As long as you leave the Zhuge Formation Diagram, the two of us will let you go." ”

The young man surnamed Zhuge used his sword to block the knife slashed by the red-clothed man, gritted his teeth and shouted: "I, Zhuge Yunzhi, am in a different place, and I will not hand over the Zhuge Formation Diagram to you." Your Agni Sect colluded with the Huns, vainly trying to take away the hard work of my Zhuge family sages. It's really better to be a beast, and you can't die well!"

I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, the Zhuge Formation Diagram was the work of Zhuge Kongming, Mr. Wolong in the late Han Dynasty, could this Zhuge Yunzhi be the descendant of Mr. Wolong? If this Flame Sect is just a simple robbery, then it has nothing to do with me. If it colludes with the Xiongnu, once the Zhuge Formation Diagram falls into the hands of the Xiongnu, then the land of China will inevitably be trampled by the iron hooves of foreign races. Although I am being hunted down by the imperial court, I am still a Chinese in my bones after all.

I sighed, but finally made up my mind. I secretly took out a copper coin from my bosom, put it on my two fingers, and observed the fight between the three of them, ready to come to the rescue at any time.

The knives in the hands of the two red-clothed men became faster and faster, and Zhuge Yunzhi gradually fell into the disadvantage, and when the long sword and the two knives collided, it was already slightly numb. The slightly chubby man in red saw that Zhuge Yunzhi was no longer supportable, and slashed obliquely at Zhuge Yunzhi's left shoulder. That Zhuge Yunzhi long sword was being entangled by the thin man in red, but he couldn't get out.

Seeing that the knife was up to his shoulder, Zhuge Yunzhi blocked the thin man's knife with a sword, and his heart was broken, and he was already waiting for death with his eyes closed. But I heard a ding, and in the scream, the sound of a blade clattering to the ground sounded. I didn't feel the pain of being struck in the shoulder.

Zhuge Yunzhi opened his eyes, but saw that the slightly fat man in red was holding his wrist and falling to the ground screaming, and his entire right palm was soft and drooping, as if his wrist bone was broken. The thin man had taken a few steps back, looking warily behind him.

Zhuge Yunzhi retreated and turned around, but saw that I was sitting on a horse, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and said: "Thank you for the chivalrous rescue!"

I waved my hand and motioned for him to say no more, but my eyes were fixed on the two men in red behind him. The thin man in red raised his knife to his chest and said, "This friend is from that path, why are you meddling in my Flame Sect?"

I didn't speak, but slowly raised my right hand as if I was going to launch a hidden weapon. The thin man was startled, and hurriedly danced with a single knife to protect him. After dancing a few times, seeing that there was no hidden weapon flying, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

I saw that the thin man stopped dancing, but he shouted, "Get out!"

The man was startled, and wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw that I was looking at him, he trembled all over, swallowed his words back, turned around and picked up the fatter man who was still wailing on the ground, and fled quickly, and soon disappeared into the forest, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the two men had fled, Zhuge Yunzhi walked quickly to my horse, clenched his hands into fists, bowed down, and said, "Zhuge Yunzhi thanked the knights for their rescue, and they will repay me in the future." ”

I smiled slightly, accepted Zhuge Yunzhi's salute, but did not dismount, and said, "You're welcome! Zhuge Yunzhi thanked him again before standing up from the ground.

I thought to myself that I was already in trouble, and I didn't want to get into any more trouble. Turning the horse's head, the horse was already moving forward. Zhuge Yunzhi was in a hurry and wanted to say something, but was stopped by me: "No need to say more!" The words that came to his mouth were immediately swallowed back.

I rode forward, Zhuge Yunzhi just stood respectfully to the side, clasped his hands into fists, but he didn't dare to speak. I suddenly remembered something, grabbed the horse, turned my head to Zhuge Yunzhi and said, "Do you have Zhuge Wuhou's formation diagram on you?"

Zhuge Yunzhi was suddenly startled, took a step back, and saw me looking at him with contempt, only then did he come back to his senses, thinking that with my skills, I wanted to snatch something from him, and it was not easy. At that moment, he honestly hugged his fists and replied: "Return to the benefactor, exactly!"

"Why don't you dedicate the hard work of Zhuge Wuhou to the imperial court?" Speaking of this, I thought of a person, and continued: "For example, Li Hu, the prince of Zhenbei. ”

Zhuge Yunzhi heard this, but he was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

I continued: "Such a divine object, placed in your Zhuge family, can only be a tyrannical thing. What's more, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!" After speaking, I turned the horse's head and walked forward, leaving Zhuge Yunzhi standing alone.

Half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance behind him. When the sound of horses' hooves was near, he heard Zhuge Yunzhi's voice say: "Benefactor! Yunzhi has figured it out, and when he returns home, he will definitely mention it to the elders in the family." Dare to ask the benefactor's surname!" But I ignored him and walked forward on my own.

Zhuge Yunzhi saw that I ignored him, thinking that he thought that I was a "master of the rivers and lakes" with a strange personality. But he no longer dwelled on it, but just beat the horse and followed behind, never daring to cross my horse's head. I guessed that he should have begged me to escort him back to Xiangyang Zhuge Village, but I didn't know how to speak. But he didn't care about it, he just let him follow.
