Chapter 5 Old Things in the Palace

It was a face that was eternally cold, without the slightest expression, as cold as the wind and snow of this winter, as it was when I first saw it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yes, she's the thirty-seven I saw in the valley. Compared with the past, No. 37 just has a more mature feeling on his face, and it seems to be a little more gorgeous in the cold.

Later, I learned that No. 37 had been added to the Xuan Group a year ago, but I had not seen her again since I entered the Huang Group. Here, she is no longer the original thirty-seventh, and has a new name: Xuansi.

My gaze stopped on her face, and there was a hint of a smile, after all, this was the first old man I had met since I entered the Yellow Group, which could barely be regarded as an old man. I greeted her with my eyes, but she remained motionless, as if I had never existed in the world. I smiled bitterly to myself, sat down on the empty chair next to me, and said nothing.

When Xuan Yi saw me sit down, he smiled slightly and said, "I called you here this time because I have a task entrusted to you." There is a map hidden in the palace of Zhenbei Wang, which is made of black sheepskin. Your mission is to find this map and bring it back. ”

November 27, more than ten miles south of the capital. The road was a little muddy after the heavy snowfall, and a carriage galloped from the official road between the valleys, and four fast horses guarded the carriage forward. There are two or three miles of road, turn the mountain pass, and you can see the tall city wall of the capital in the distance. The mountains on both sides of the official road are high and densely forested, and this pedestrian can't help but spur their horses to pass through the canyon known as the city of ghost gates as soon as possible.

With a thud, a long arrow shot at the fast horse in front of him. The knight on the fast horse heard a strange noise, and clung to the reins, and the horse neighed and raised its front hooves. The long arrow flew under the horse's belly and hit the trunk of the tree beside the road, its tail trembling and buzzing.

There was another bang, and more than a dozen sharp arrows flew down from the mountains on both sides. In the neighing of the horses, the knights on the horse had already dismounted, wielding their blades to protect the carriage. In an instant, two fast horses fell to the ground with arrows in the neighing. Shouts rang out on both sides, and a dozen masked men jumped down the hillside, already surrounding the carriage.

The man holding a familiar copper stick in front of the carriage said loudly: "He Fangxiao is small, and he dares to assassinate the dignitaries of the dynasty." ”

In the midst of a burst of laughter, a masked man in Tsing Yi took two steps forward with a long sword in his hand, and said, "When the dignitaries of the dynasty are in the car, it is the prince of Zhenbei! What a big official! We are here today to ask for the life of this dog king." After saying that, the masked man waved his left hand and shouted, "Go! It was already a sword towards the door of the man with a cooked brass stick.

The man with the familiar copper stick shouted and danced the copper stick, and the two sides were already fighting together. More than a dozen masked people shouted in unison, and instantly rushed up, and there was a scuffle.

The man with the cooked copper stick faced the masked man in Tsing Yi, dancing the copper stick, and the appearance of the copper stick was no longer clear in the yellow light, and the end was impermeable, but the masked man couldn't get close for a while.

The three people next to the car each responded to the enemy, but they had to face at least three or four masked men. Seeing that it was difficult to work for a while, the four or five masked people on the periphery also joined the siege, and the cooked copper stick man suddenly felt a lot of pressure and became scrambling.

In the blink of an eye, a small gap was rushed out between the four of them, and a masked man had rushed to the front of the car, slashing at the coachman with a simple knife in his hand. The coachman saw the Pu knife coming, but he didn't panic, and shook the long whip in his hand, and the whip was already wrapped around the masked man's Pu knife, but the masked man felt that the knife body was tight, and the tiger's mouth hurt, so he couldn't help but let go of the Pu knife, but the knife had been thrown out by the long whip, and went straight to the mountain rock. The masked man was taken aback and hurriedly retreated, but the coachman did not pursue, but put away his long whip and sat cross-legged in front of the car.

With a bang, another long arrow flew from the mountain forest, straight to the horseman's chest, and Lang Lang laughed loudly, and another masked man jumped up from the mountain forest and came towards the carriage.

The coachman flicked his whip, and like an iron rod, swept straight at the long arrow, which suddenly deflected and flew straight into the sky. Although the coachman was blocking the long arrow, he felt a little numb in the tiger's mouth, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "It turns out that the Mobei Flying Eagle has arrived." The masked man laughed, and in a blink of an eye he arrived in front of the car, and the mace in his hand was already a move to split Huashan and smashed down head-on. The coachman jumped up from the frame and whipped the masked man in the eye. The masked man raised his mace, already blocking the front door, and the two sides went back and forth, fighting together. After a dozen moves, the masked man's mace sank vigorously, and the coachman gradually showed his strength.

The four men with cooked copper sticks were even more dwarfed, they were already sweating, and they were in a hurry, and a man with a knife was even slashed in the thigh, and his actions were greatly affected, and he was very critical.

Xuan Si and I were riding our horses towards the capital, and when we heard the sound of battle from afar, we deliberately slowed down our fast horses and slowly moved forward. The man with the familiar bronze stick saw someone riding a horse from a distance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a few sticks shook off the masked man in Tsing Yi, and shouted: "The knight comes to the rescue, there will be a good reward." When he got closer, he saw two young men and women of sixteen or seventeen years old, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and turned to protect the carriage.

But I was overjoyed in my heart, and when I saw that the man with the cooked copper stick had a round head and a big face, and that he had a bald head, and that the coachman with a long whip had made a long silver whip, I suddenly remembered that Li Hu's escort described in the intelligence had come without any effort! I couldn't help but smile secretly, but I didn't say much. Drawing his sword, his feet on the saddle a little, he was already rushing to the battlefield. The man with the knife was obviously out of his way, dragging his wounded leg and fighting hard, refusing to let the masked man approach the carriage.

The masked man turned around and blocked with his sword, but the tip of my sword slipped and passed through the blade of the sword, and it was already pierced into the throat of the other man, and blood splattered all over the masked man's chest, and the masked man fell to the ground with a gurgling sound, and his eyes were blank for a moment.

That made the knife man suddenly have one less opponent, the pressure suddenly decreased, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the sword was shining at the moment, and he was even more confident, very brave.

At this time, Xuan Si also joined the battle group, and a long sword made the snake out of his body, and in the blink of an eye, two masked people fell to the ground, and I also used my sword to cut the throat of a masked person. Suddenly, the situation reversed, and in the blink of an eye, two more masked men fell to the ground.

The man with the knife cut off the head of the last masked man in front of him, dragged his injured leg, and joined the battle group of the man with a cooked copper stick and the masked man in Tsing Yi. However, in three or five rounds, the masked man in Tsing Yi, who originally had a slight upper hand, suddenly became in danger, so he had to retreat while fighting, and gradually moved away from the carriage.

However, between more than a dozen rounds, several screams have been heard, and several masked people have died, and the masked man in Tsing Yi also died under the attack of knives and sticks, and was beaten by a cooked copper stick man and his brain was splashed.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, the masked man with the mace drove the coachman back, jumped out of the battle circle, and shouted, "The wind is tight! The man with the cooked copper stick was about to go after him, but the coachman shouted: "Come back! Don't chase, that person is a Mobei Flying Eagle, and he can't catch up, so it's important to protect the prince." The man with the cooked brass stick turned around and pumped a stick on the back of a masked man who was tightly wrapped around and could not escape. So far, only one of the dozen masked people led by Mobei Flying Eagle has escaped.

The coachman turned and opened the door of the carriage, and from the carriage came an old man with white sideburns, whose face was pale, and his chest was covered with a thick bandage, and a trace of bright red oozed from the snow. The old man seemed to be seriously injured, but he endured the pain, turned his eyes to me and Xuan Si who were standing aside, hugged his fists and said: "Old man Li Hu, thank you for the grace of the two young heroes for saving their lives!"

I was happy in my heart, it was really Li Hu, the king of Zhenbei. Hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Li is polite! Seeing that the road is uneven, he draws his sword to help." A little thing is not enough to worry about! Our sister and brother traveled through the rivers and lakes and wanted to go for a walk in the capital. ”

Li Hu said: "I haven't consulted the two young heroes with their high surnames! If you are in the capital, you will also be on the way! I don't know if the two young heroes are willing to go with us and others to the old man's house in the capital for a few days, so that the old man can fulfill the friendship of the landlord and thank him for saving his life." ”

I smiled, waved my hand, and said, "I don't know if we will meet again in the future, so I don't need to keep my name." Our sister and brother are still in a hurry to go to the capital to play, so we won't wait for you. ”

At this time, Xuan Si had already led the horse over, and the two of us stepped on the horse, hugged their fists and said: "Farewell!" The familiar bronze stick man still wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Li Hu, Li Hu also hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your great kindness! I hope to see the two young heroes one day." Don't disturb the itinerary of the two young heroes. Please!"

The two of us returned the salute with fists in return and whipped away.
