Volume II: The Unpredictable Heart
Changwang City is the closest city to Huoyun Town, but the distance is also more than 200 kilometers, and it is the political, economic, and military center of this radius of hundreds of miles, including Huoyun Town. It's very lively, all kinds of items are available, of course, the news about all parties is also very well-informed, grandpa told Mingxuan about Zhongzhou's affairs, just briefly mentioned some and said that he would know in the future, he didn't dare to ask more, so he only had a vague concept of Zhongzhou Mingxuan, as for his destination Qingyangmen, how to go I don't know, Huoyun Town is just a remote small village and town, and I naturally don't know anything about the vast Zhongzhou, if you want to get more information about Zhongzhou, you have to go to Changwangcheng to investigate。
Due to the distance, Ming Xuan can't show the speed of others, so as not to attract the attention of others, grandpa asked to be low-key when walking the rivers and lakes, he still did it very well, now he has to walk slowly like an ordinary person, only when he encounters a place where there is no one dare to run wildly for a while, but if he goes on like this, it will take a few days to reach Changwang City.
After getting out of Huoyun Mountain, the terrain gradually flattened, no longer so everywhere the mountains and forests were obstructed, now you can't see the edge at a glance when you walk on the road, and the environment is a little different from Huoyun Mountain, although there are a few days away, but for Mingxuan, who has never been far away, a qiē is so novel, both eyes are too busy to work, but they don't feel bored, and the sadness in their hearts gradually fades a little.
"Help, help, ......" A shout broke the silence of the canyon, Ming Xuan immediately became alert, stopped running, and listened carefully, the sound came from the front, and there were faint sounds of fighting.
"What's going on?" Ming Xuan quietly leaned in, lying on the rocks beside him, peeking at the situation ahead.
I saw a gorgeous carriage stopped in the middle of the road, surrounded by a group of masked men with knives, and there were several figures dressed as family members lying around, and there were traces of blood dripping on the shiny cold knives. A beautiful seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl stood on the carriage, trembling at the masked men around her, apparently she had just uttered the shout.
"Little girl, don't waste your efforts, this barren mountain and wilderness, no one will respond even if you cut your throat, hahaha......" A strong man who looked like a leader stood up.
"Isn't it just for your sake of wealth, I can give you all the possessions in this carriage, and I hope that your Excellency will spare our master and servant. A Qingyue female voice came out of the carriage, looking much calmer.
"Of course, we are horse thieves! of course, it is for money, but we don't mind both wealth and sex, the girl listens to the voice and makes my heart itch, and the appearance is certainly not bad, it is better to follow me back to the village to be my wife, and follow me to wear gold and silver, eat and drink spicy!" It seems that the horse thief not only took a fancy to the property on the carriage, but also to the people.
"Presumptuous! Dare to despise our eldest lady. The little girl in the carriage looked angry and shouted at the danger.
"Haha, your young lady will soon become my wife, how can you be frivolous? As for you, leave it to my brothers, hahaha......" As soon as he said this, the other masked men suddenly screamed. The little girl turned pale and did not dare to speak.
"Dare to love me and run into a horse bandit robbery!" Ming Xuan finally understood, this plot was only in the story, I didn't expect to encounter it so soon, there was no trace of panic in my heart, but I was excited, a little eager to try.
Ming Xuan carefully observed the situation, there are thirteen horse thieves here, it seems that they are not bad, especially the leader, who seems to be also a martial artist, is really not something that Ming Xuan can deal with, although he also wants to help them, but he has more than enough strength but not enough strength, and the chivalrous heart that has just boiled has cooled down a lot.
"You have to think of a way, otherwise these two girls will suffer!" Ming Xuan was a little anxious, time was pressing, and it would not work to fight head-on, so he had to make a strange move.
Just when Ming Xuan was thinking hard to no avail, the horse thieves began to approach the carriage step by step, Ming Xuan was helpless, and was about to rush up to help them, he couldn't watch them being persecuted and indifferent, at least give it a try. And at this moment, an accident happened, only to see a cold light shoot out from the carriage, directly shooting through the head of the horse bandit who had been close to the door curtain of the carriage, and the blood suddenly flowed to the ground, too fast! The other horse thieves didn't have time to react at all, and Ming Xuan was also dumbfounded, thinking that he couldn't hide in this situation.
"I didn't want to kill, you forced me. The female voice in the carriage was still so emotionless, but it made people feel chills when they heard it.
"It seems that she is clumsy! I don't know the girl's surname?"
"What's the point of worrying about a cheap name, I just hope that the uncle will let go of my master and servant, and the little girl will be grateful. "The people in the carriage don't seem to be very accommodating.
"Haha, do you think you can bluff me? How could a weak woman send out a secret weapon with the strength of a martial artist of the fourth order, it seems that the girl used some small mechanisms, and it is estimated that she can use it once or twice, otherwise you would have already made a move when we intercepted and killed the family just now." "He is worthy of being the leader of the horse bandits, and he immediately analyzes the shape of the head to the Tao, which is convincing. Mingxuan also felt that it made a lot of sense.
"If you don't believe me, you can try again. The girl in the horse seemed unmoved.
The atmosphere froze suddenly, although the leader of the horse bandits analyzed it very reasonably, but he didn't dare to joke with his life, this was not a joke, the other horse bandits were even more unbearable, and even a little had slowly retreated.
"I'm just a woman, soft-hearted and bloody, so I thought of mercy, resulting in the tragic death of the house slaves, although God has the virtue of a good life, but if I am forced to be in a hurry, I don't mind the blood flowing here, here are some silver taels, when it is the hard-earned money of the horse bandits, it will be dispersed, everyone is safe, I wonder if the horse bandits can be considerate?" After speaking, a small package was thrown out of the carriage, which was obviously filled with yellow and white things. This woman is so good! One hard and one soft, two-pronged, not only did not weaken her momentum, but also gave the horse bandits a step down.
"Okay! Since Miss is so sensible, we can't ignore it, so don't pass it here, there will be a period later!" The leader of the horse bandits weighed the burden, thought about it a little, and felt that he would have face and money in this way, and he really didn't lose money, so there was no need to take this risk, so he withdrew with his subordinates. The horse bandits came and went as fast as they could, and all at once they disappeared.
"Miss, Miss, the bandits are really gone!" The little girl who was standing in the car jumped down and looked into the distance to confirm that the bandits had gone away.
"Yes, this is not a place to stay for a long time, Xiaocui, you come to drive, let's go back quickly!"
"Okay Miss! But I'm not very good at driving, these family members are really useless, they were killed by horse bandits at once, if there is any more danger, Miss you can scare them again!" Xiao Cui looked disdain for the dead family members, and picked up the horse whip with a sad face.
"The same deceptive method won't work twice, let's leave quickly, lest we have too many dreams at night, and then go back and ask Steward Li to collect the corpses of the family." With that, the two immediately drove away.
Ming Xuan's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, the young lady in the carriage can be described as brave and strategic, a weak woman actually faced the murderous horse bandits calmly, and used extraordinary means to successfully bluff the horse bandits;
At this time, Ming Xuan's heart was slightly heavy, and he seemed to understand a little bit that his grandfather said that people's hearts were sinister, and so many people's lives were lost in a fight, but for a little money, but the people who sacrificed their lives to protect them disdained it, wouldn't it be in vain? Ming Xuan also wanted to stop meddling in his own affairs, and continued to rush forward by himself.
In the distance, a group of big men were riding horses and walking slowly, if Ming Xuan was here now, he would definitely find that this group of people was dressed exactly like the previous horse bandits except for the masked scarves, obviously the previous group, and if the leader of the horse bandits was seen by Ming Xuan, he would definitely feel very familiar.
"Young Master, it seems that the information is wrong!" A horse bandit came to the leader.
"Bastard! Don't call me the eldest young master when you're running errands outside!" the leader suddenly became angry, and he threw it over, and a bloody mark suddenly appeared on the bandit's face.
"Yes!
"Am I so stupid! I can't see that the chick surnamed Wang doesn't know martial arts? I'm just giving myself a step down, do you really put her on the cottage as the lady of the village!"
"The owner of the village is wise! The horse bandit hurriedly laughed.
"This time it's just a glimmer of hope for the Wang family, by the way, didn't you receive a letter from home before?"
"Yes! I was so busy just now that I almost forgot about it, damn it! Damn!" the bandit quickly took out a letter from his bosom.
"Well, Gu Mingxuan, a good boy, dare to bully my Zhao family's head! Wait and see!" After reading the letter, the leader sneered, waved his horsewhip, and walked away.
