Chapter 48: To the Heavenly Mountains
Xia Lingshuang invited Xuan Qi to meet with Qingxu and the others, and since Xuan Qi had already made up his mind to go to Tianshan Mountain, he naturally would not refuse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone was overjoyed to see each other. Speaking of how a few people came to Lanzhou, but it turned out that the day after Xuan Qi left, there were rumors that Xuan Si appeared in the capital, and the heroes were afraid that it was false news, so they had to divide their troops into two ways. Qingxu and Xiao Zhan tracked all the way to Lanzhou.
Everyone agreed to go to the Tianshan Mountains together on the second day, and then went back to pack up and rest.
Early in the morning of the second day, everyone finished breakfast at the "Tianshan Inn", immediately got on the horse, and went to Dunhuang along the Hexi Corridor.
A group of more than ten horses, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, but this day was to Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is not far from the countries of the Western Regions, and people from the countries of the Western Regions, such as Gaochang, Turkic, Tibetan, Uighur, Semu, etc., can be seen everywhere. Everyone rested in Liangzhou for the night to replenish food and grass.
On the second day, he left Liangzhou and headed for Ganzhou.
After traveling for less than 100 miles, the day was getting westerly, and everyone was trying to find a place to spend the night, but there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them. But I saw dozens of horsemen coming towards the crowd with fast horses.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Hua Tai Sui and An Haishan who rushed over with dozens of people from the rivers and lakes, and the master of Shaolin, the head of the Kongtong faction, and the head of the Qingcheng faction, were also listed, but there were also Hua Yingchun, who was familiar with Xuanqi.
Hua Tai Sui and Hua Yingchun saw that Xuan Qi was also in the crowd, and their faces suddenly looked very bad. When An Haishan saw Xuan Qi, he remembered the death of his beloved son An Qingzong, jumped up from his horse and pounced on Xuan Qi: "Little beast, you really escaped here." ”
In the blink of an eye, An Haishan's palms were already in front of Xuan Qi. Xuan Qi didn't dare to slack off, the long sword was unsheathed, and he was about to meet An Haishan, but Xiao Zhan rushed out of the oblique stab, and his palms collided with An Haishan.
Suddenly, the sand and rocks flew, and everyone hurriedly retreated.
An Haishan retreated angrily and said, "Xiao Zhan, do you also want to protect this little beast?"
Xiao Zhan sneered: "Lord Anbao, the old man's temper is not as good as that of the old man. An Gongzi's death has been in the light of day, and he is really to blame, but isn't it true that An Bao mainly oppresses people with power?"
"Don't deceive people too much. This matter is the hatred between An and Qi Si, what does it have to do with you?"
"It's just a matter of calling Hanako, you might as well draw a line in Anjiabao, and then call Hanako. ”
An Haishan knew that he was not Xiao Zhan's opponent, not to mention that there was a Qingxu old man next to him, so it seemed that he could only think of another way. For a while, he couldn't get off the stage, and his face turned red when he boarded. Seeing this, Hua Tai Sui on the side understood An Haishan's situation, and stepped forward to grab An Haishan: "Lord Anbao, big things are important!"
An Haishan naturally knew that Hua Taisui was looking for steps for himself, snorted, and stepped aside.
It turned out that Hua Tai Sui, An Haishan and Qing Xu's troops split into two routes, and searched for the traces of Xuan Qi and Xuan Si in the Qinling Mountains for several days without any progress. And on the way from the capital to Lanzhou, news about the two kept coming. The major leaders gathered together to discuss and decided to abandon the search in Qinling and go north instead.
When they arrived in Lanzhou, they heard that Qingxu and his party had gone north and marched towards the Tianshan Mountains, and everyone spurred their horses and finally caught up with Qingxu and his party here. And most of the heroes followed behind the crowd, trailing.
Qingxu and his entourage originally wanted to go to Tianshan Mountain with just a few of them, but now that they saw that the leaders had arrived, it was difficult to refuse.
That night, the heroes found a leeward valley and set up their tents. Xuanqi lived in the same tent as Qingxu's disciple Yiyan, but Qingxu only brought this disciple on this trip. The tents of Qingxu, Xiao Zhan and Xia Lingshuang sandwiched the tent where Xuan Qi lived in the middle, in order to prevent An Haishan.
At this time, it is past the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night in the northwest is quite cool. Fortunately, the heroes have an internal force and don't care.
Everyone slept until midnight, but they were awakened by the sound of fighting and shouting. When he got out of the tent, he saw that Hua Taisui was fighting with a masked man, but An Haishan chased another black-clothed man out of the camp with Han Xian, the head of the Kongtong faction.
When everyone asked, it turned out that a killer had infiltrated the tent of the Kongtong faction disciples, and had already killed three Kongtong faction disciples. Another killer who sneaked into the tent of the disciples of Anjiabao, but unexpectedly, An Haishan lived in the same tent with the disciples, and was discovered by An Haishan as soon as he entered.
The killer turned around and fled, but was stopped by Hua Tai Sui, who heard the sound. Another killer rushed out of the tent of the disciples of the Kongtong faction, but he met Han Xian, the head of the Kongtong faction. The killer forced Han Xian back with a sword, turned around and fled, An Haishan saw that Hua Tai Sui was fighting a killer alone, which was more than enough, and he was afraid that something would happen to Han Xian, so he chased after him.
The long sword in Hua Taisui's hand was agile, and the "Hundred Flowers Sword Technique" was constantly used, and the killer kept retreating in the parry, which was obviously inadequate. Hua Tai Sui's move "Morning Glory Entangled Branch" was used, and the long sword kept flipping, like a morning glory entangled in the branch, and the long sword was already in the killer's hand.
The killer screamed in pain, the long sword clanged to the ground, and the tip of Hua Taisui's sword was already at the killer's throat.
Hua Taisui was about to speak, but suddenly felt the sword sink and exclaimed, "Stop!" But seeing that the killer was already in the throat, the tip of the sword passed through the throat, and blood suddenly spurted out. The killer fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and was already motionless.
All this happened in an instant, but it caught Hua Tai Sui off guard. The heroes screamed, but they didn't expect the killer to choose to commit suicide, and they were all stunned for a while.
Hua Taisui asked people to clean up the corpse, and sat on the side with Qunxiong, waiting for news from An Haishan and Han Xian.
About half an hour later, the two returned to the camp. Seeing that the two of them were depressed, the group stepped forward to ask.
It turned out that An Haishan and Han Xian were chasing another killer. The killer was very cunning, using the terrain to constantly change directions, although he couldn't get rid of the two, but the two couldn't catch up for a while.
Seeing that the killer was about to turn over the cliff, he suddenly stopped. The two chased after him, only to find a river blocking the killer. The two were overjoyed, surrounded the killer in the middle, and fought.
It's only a dozen rounds later, but the killer was hit by An Haishan's palm and suffered internal injuries. Seeing that Cheng was captured, the killer turned around and jumped into the river.
The two searched for a long time by the river, but there was no trace of the killer.
The river was formed by the melting glacier water on the Qilian Mountain, which was cold to the bone, and the two expected that the killer would definitely not be able to withstand the glacier water, and they could not find the killer's body for a while in the dark night, so they returned to the camp after discussion.
The group of heroes originally hoped that the two of them could catch the killer and unravel the inside story of the assassination. Seeing that the two of them returned empty-handed, they were disappointed and dispersed.
