Chapter Seventy-Six: Together
Zhao Xinming made up his mind, looked at the county lord of Anyang, took a deep breath and said, "County lord, there is something to explain to the county lord in the future, and I also ask the county lord to make it convenient." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The county lord of Anyang was very smart, and when he saw Zhao Xinming's expression was different, he knew that this matter was unusual, and immediately ordered: "Liu'er, I have something important to discuss with Wang Gongzi, you go out first, and you are not allowed to come in without my permission." ”
"Yes. Liu Er agreed and hurriedly walked out.
"Lord Xie. Zhao Xinming was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "The county lord, he is not Wang Ziming, but his surname Zhao and his name are Xinming, he is a native of Qingyang Town, Qinghe County, Qingzhou, and he is not a disciple of 'Ling Tianzong'. ”
A hint of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Anyang, and he did not speak. Zhao Xinming paused for a moment and continued: "About two years ago, Lord Zhou Jin Zhou of the Central Dynasty took a fancy to my family's ancestral property, and my father was forced to sell it to him. Unexpectedly, three months later, Zhou Jin sent someone to kill my family, and I escaped by luck and fled all the way to this day. Not long ago, I met two people, one of whom was the elder of the outer sect of 'Ling Tianzong', surnamed Yang. From him, I learned that the second brother Zhao Xinhua was still in the family, and he was learning martial arts at 'Ling Tianzong' at this time. So I went all the way north, wanting to see my second brother, but I didn't want to meet the county lord. In order to avoid trouble, he lied about being an outer disciple of 'Ling Tianzong', and asked the county lord to forgive him. ”
The county lord of Anyang was silent for a moment and said, "Zhao Gongzi, why are you telling me this?"
"County Lord, because I don't want to lie to you anymore. Zhao Xinming said softly.
"Hmm. The county lord of Anyang blushed and said again, "Zhao Gongzi, does Mr. Lu know this?"
Zhao Xinming hesitated slightly, but still said: "Mr. not only knows about this, but it is indeed my uncle." ”
"Zhao Gongzi, why is this?" the county lord of Anyang was surprised and hurriedly asked.
"County Lord, do you remember that I asked about the 'Sunset Sect' at the bottom of the mountain?" Zhao Xinming asked.
"I remember that Mr. Lu said a lot at that time. The county lord of Anyang nodded.
Zhao Xinming continued: "Mr. Lu is the descendant of the 'Sunset Sect'. After he found out that I was pretending to be a disciple of 'Ling Tianzong', he did not get angry but said a lot, and expressed his willingness to take his senior brother to take me as an apprentice and teach me the 'Sunset Sutra'. Although the 'Sunset Sect' no longer exists, I am a person wanted by Zhou Ting, so how easy is it to apprentice? ”
"I see. The county lord of Anyang nodded, and suddenly said, "Zhao Gongzi, have you agreed to take me to 'Ling Tianzong'?"
Zhao Xinming nodded and asked softly, "County Lord, aren't you angry?"
"Angry?" "The county lord of Anyang blushed slightly, and said softly, "Although you lied to me, but it wasn't for any benefit, why should I be angry?"
Zhao Xinming suddenly put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "County Lord, let's set off now, right?"
The county lord of Anyang nodded, and immediately walked out of the small building, regardless of Liu Er's objections, so he made up his mind. By the time the three of them cleaned up, most of the bandits in the cottage had already left, and from a distance, there was a torch in the direction of the back mountain. Outside the small courtyard, Commander Liu and his group of five were waiting there quietly.
Seeing the county lord of Anyang, a group of five people hurriedly saluted and said, "My subordinates have seen the county lord." ”
Seeing a few people, the county lord of Anyang hesitated for a while, and then said, "Commander Liu, you come with me." ”
After speaking, the county lord of Anyang turned around and walked into the small courtyard, and Commander Liu did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly followed. I don't know what the two said, but I saw Commander Liu kneeling on the ground and pleading, but the county lord was unmoved. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then they saw the county lord of Anyang walking over with a smile on his face.
"Prince Wang, let's go. The county lord of Anyang said with a smile.
Zhao Xinming nodded, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so he hurriedly walked in the direction of the back mountain, followed by the county lord of Anyang. Liu Er was about to follow, but she didn't know what the county lord said, so she stayed with a miserable face. As soon as the two of them walked out of the cottage, they saw the three masters running over in a hurry.
The three masters stopped the two, glared at Zhao Xinming, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu asked me to give this to you." ”
After speaking, he handed over two things, but they were a waist card, a pair of fist gloves, a jade pendant and a porcelain vase. Zhao Xinming took it with both hands, the fist gloves, jade pendants, and porcelain vases were all his own, and the three words "Ling Tianzong" were written on the waist card, and behind it was the pattern of a big mountain. Zhao Xinming looked through it, only to hear the third master continue: "Mr. asked me to bring you a word, this jade pendant is not an ordinary thing, he asked you to take good care of it, and go to Qinglian Mountain in the future, maybe you will find something." ”
"There are three people in charge. Zhao Xinming nodded and said.
"Wang Ziming, if you kill my eldest brother, I will definitely avenge him. The three masters snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Zhao Xinming looked at the back of the three masters, shook his head, and continued to walk forward. After walking for half an hour, the two deliberately avoided the mountain bandits, so they went around to a fork in the road, and at this time it was quiet in the dead of night, and only the sound of the two people's footsteps was heard on the quiet mountain road.
After walking for a while, the county lord of Anyang completely calmed down, and suddenly there was a trace of hesitation in his heart. The county lord of Anyang is the daughter of the king of Xinyang, but because her biological mother Princess Xinyang died early, she was suspicious in the palace and became a victim of this marriage. However, the king of Xinyang has always been very good to her, and even very pampered, and the reason why this marriage was agreed was that the other daughters were too young, so they made this decision despite the opposition of the county lord.
The county lord of Anyang was in the rebellious period, and he was unwilling in his heart, coupled with Zheng Gongzi's misconduct and notoriety, the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly condensed to the extreme. At this moment, the county lord of Anyang happened to meet Zhao Xinming, and after several contacts, he suddenly had a good impression, and he was forced by the situation just now, so he made the decision to leave home to apprentice on impulse. At this time, I calmed down, looked at the back in front of me, all kinds of distractions came one after another, and my steps slowed down unconsciously.
Zhao Xinming didn't know this, and still strode forward. After walking for a while, I only heard the footsteps behind me getting farther and farther away, and when I looked back, the county lord of Anyang had fallen twenty or thirty feet.
"County Lord?" Zhao Xinming stopped and shouted softly.
The county lord of Anyang was startled for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and took a few steps forward.
Zhao Xinming looked up, a bright moon was slightly off, and the time had passed, so he said: "County Lord, why don't we rest here for the night and hurry tomorrow?"
The county lord of Anyang looked left and right, and there was nothing. The county lord has been pampered since he was a child, where has he ever suffered from this? Even when he usually practiced martial arts, he was held in the palm of his hand by the master, and his eyes suddenly turned red. It's just that I'm really tired after walking for so long, so I reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Zhao Xinming was originally a child of a rich family, and he was very uncomfortable at first, but seeing the county lord of Anyang like this, he knew it, so he smiled, lit a bonfire alone, and passed over the dry food. The county lord of Anyang looked at Zhao Xinming busy with everything, and suddenly his heart warmed, and he barely ate a little. Zhao Xinming picked up some dead grass and made a haystack to spread his clothes on. The county lord of Anyang blushed, and after squirming for a while, he still fell asleep. Zhao Xinming slept on the grass pile three feet away, the two of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke, only hearing the "crackling" sound in the fire.
