"Pounce Ling!" "Pounce Ling!" ......
The night sky, although dark and dreary, could not see a single trace of the carrier pigeon, but the fluttering of its wings was heard very clearly in the quiet night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The black shadow flashed, and it shot into Nangong Villa like an arrow.
"Young Master!" A family member ran to Nangong Fu's room panting, holding a letter sealed with fire paint in his hand.
Nangong Fu, who was lying in his clothes, turned over and sat up with a loud voice, and said in a deep voice: "Bring it!"
The man hurriedly handed him the letter. Nangong Fu snatched it over, tore open the envelope, pulled out the letterhead, and as soon as he unfolded it, his face changed sharply. He didn't have time to take a closer look, but he got out of bed and rushed out.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Nangong Fu slapped Nangong Huang Xing's bedroom violently.
"Fu'er?...... What's the matter at such a late hour?"
With a "Ahh
"Mother, the child is in a hurry, looking for Daddy!" Nangong Fu's voice was short, and he was a little out of breath.
"Fu'er, come in!" The light in the room was lit, and Nangong Huang Xing had already sat up.
Nangong Fu stepped to the bed in a few steps, handed him the letter in his hand, and said anxiously: "Daddy, look!"
Nangong Huang Xing only glanced at it, and then his whole body stiffened, and then, his hands began to tremble, and even the letter paper in his hand was almost unable to hold it.
"Master, what's the matter?" Mrs. Nangong was full of confusion and leaned her head to look.
Nangong Huang Xing didn't wait for her to see clearly, folded the letter, tucked it into her sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry, something has happened." ...... In this way, you rest first, and Fu'er and I will deal with it!"
Mrs. Nangong naturally refused to believe what Nangong Huang Xing said was just "something happened", but she never meant anything to her husband, so she nodded, sat back on the edge of the bed, and stared at the backs of the father and son in a daze.
"Fu'er, hurry up and call your uncle and sixth uncle to the living room!" Nangong Huang Xing commanded as she walked.
After a while, Nangong Chihuo and Nangong Lancao hurried to the living room, and when they saw Nangong Huangxing sitting in the chair, they couldn't wait to ask what happened.
"Miao Yizhen has gone to Shanyue Yunju!" Nangong Huang Xing got straight to the point and handed the letter in his hand to the brothers who were approaching.
The two of them quickly read the letter, Nangong Chihuo's face was red and white, and Nangong Lancao was solemn, and his eyebrows were tightly locked.
"Fu'er, you go out first, I'll call you if there's something!" Nangong Huang Xing waved at him.
"Yes. Nangong Fu walked out quickly.
“...... I really didn't expect that the thief ...... I actually thought of it...... Third brother, what should I do?" After a long while, Nangong Chihuo came back to his senses and asked through gritted teeth.
Nangong Huang Xing pondered for a long time and asked Nangong Lancao: "Sixth brother, what do you think?"
Nangong Lancao sighed: "Alas, if you knew today, why bother in the first place...... At this point, what other good plan can there be? Just leave it to fate!" After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Third brother, you are in charge of everything!"
Nangong Huang Xing sighed gloomily, shook his head and said, "As the sixth brother said: now, there is no good plan...... So, what to do?...... Big brother, sixth brother, the only way to do this is to prepare for the worst as soon as possible, and strive to save some blood for my Nangong family!"
"Third brother, what do you mean...... Do this?" Nangong Lancao had already guessed a few points, and stared at Nangong Huang Xing's eyes as he asked, further confirming his guess from his expression.
Nangong Chihuo's mind was not as flexible as Nangong Lancao, and he asked in surprise: "Preserve the bones and blood, third brother, what do you mean?"
"Big brother, think about it, once the thief finds something in Shanyue Yunju, what will be the fate of our Nangong family?"
"This ...... Third brother, I think that even if he really discovers the location of the treasure house, we can ...... There is also Brother Gu who is in charge of the overall situation there...... If it is really a last resort, it can still be blown up! Once it is blown up, there is no proof of death, and it is up to him to see what he can do to us?"
Nangong Huang Xing was silent for a moment, and sighed lightly: "If you can really blow it up, naturally you don't have to worry." But what I'm worried about is that he will be able to see through the mechanism and take out the ......."
"Hmph, I don't believe it! Even if he can understand the Qimen gossip, and can he crack our wonderful mechanism?" It seems that Nangong Chihuo is very confident in that mechanism, so he doesn't think so.
"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" Nangong Huang Xing said solemnly: "As the saying goes: the world is unpredictable. We've got to be prepared!"
"What the third brother said is extreme!" Nangong Lancao echoed, "That Miao thief is like a god, and he has solved countless strange cases, how can he be lucky?...... Big brother, let's listen to the arrangement of the third brother!"
Nangong Chihuo knew that his intelligence, compared with these two younger brothers, was not at the same level at all, so he no longer insisted on his opinion.
Nangong Huang Xing was stunned for a while, looked at Nangong Chihuo, and said slowly: "Big brother, once the thief finds something, our Nangong family will fall into a situation from which there will be no return! We old bones have to stay and wander around, we can't go, it's the children who go!"
Nangong Chihuo finally understood, and said in a lost voice: "Third brother, you mean, let Fu'er and them go?"
"Exactly. Without further ado, let's go!"
"Where to go?...... Hengshan?"
"Yes. As long as you can reach Hengshan safely, you will not be afraid; ”
"Third brother, who are the specific candidates?" Nangong Lancao interjected.
Nangong Huang Xing seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and immediately said: "Shuo'er and Yan'er, both go." ...... Big brother, do you have any objections to such an arrangement?"
"Okay, listen to the third brother!" His two sons were arranged to take refuge, and Nangong Chihuo made up his mind.
"Sixth brother, you and I both have only one son, so we only arrange for Di'er and Fu'er to go, how about it?"
"Good. Nangong Lancao readily agreed.
"The second brother and the seventh brother have passed away, and the fourth brother has gone out to run errands again. Therefore, I am in charge of their family's affairs. ...... Qiu'er, Yi'er, and Qiao'er from the second brother's family, Zhan'er and Bo'er from the fourth brother's family, and Rui'er and Yue'er from the seventh brother's family, all gone!"
"Yes...... However, the third brother, Qiao'er and Yue'er don't know martial arts, and those who are weak and can't help the wind will become a burden......"
"Alas, if you can't protect them, how can you be worthy of the second brother and the seventh brother under the spring?"
"Yes...... But ......" Nangong Chihuo still wanted to argue, but when he thought that his two sons were leaving, he refused to let his niece go, and it seemed that he was too selfish, so he was speechless for a while.
"Big brother, don't say any more, it's decided!" Nangong Huang Xing interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
“...... No, I'm not leaving!" Nangong Shuo has a hard personality, a bit like his father, especially thinking that he is not only the eldest son, but also the eldest brother of this generation, and he wants to be a deserter in battle, so he naturally doesn't want to accept it.
"Shuo'er, be obedient!" Nangong Chihuo has been persuading her for a long time, "Daddy has already explained the current situation to you very clearly...... You're not a child, you should be able to understand the stakes!"
Nangong Shuo lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly, finally no longer insisting.
Nangong Chihuo touched Nangong Chi's head lovingly, and instructed: "Bing'er, in the future, don't be willful in everything,...... Listen to your big brother. ”
"Yes. Nangong Zhi's voice choked, "Daddy, take care of yourself!"
Nangong Chihuo's eyes were also red, and he waved his hand: "Let's go!"
When Nangong Chihuo led his two sons to the brightly lit hall, it was already full of people. At this time, Nangong Huang Xing was telling Nangong Fu: "Fu'er, this is going to Heng Mountain, the road is far away, the enemy's eyeliner is all over the place, and it is easy to expose your whereabouts." Therefore, this trip is not only arduous, but also dangerous, and you must be careful along the way. ”
"Daddy, don't worry, the child will take care of it. Nangong Fu calmly hung the sword on his waist.
"Qiao'er and Yue'er, they don't know martial arts, you have to protect them!"
"Yes, the child understands. ”
"It's not too early, let's go!"
※※※
Nangong Fu led the brothers and sisters to set off from the north gate, and traveled more than ten miles along the mountain road in the dark, but fortunately, he did not encounter an intercepted enemy.
Suddenly, the firelight lit up, Nangong Fu's face was shocked, and he shouted in a low voice: "Whoever lit the fire, put it out!"
"Look for death! don't put it out for me!" Nangong Shuo snatched the torch from his brother's hand and shook his hand to extinguish it.
"Nervous! What kind of enemy is there?" scare yourself!" Nangong Zhi disagreed.
"Who said there are no enemies? It's just that they haven't discovered us yet!" Nangong Shuo said: "Second brother, it's not the eldest brother, I said you, you are not too young, why are you so inconsiderate when you start to do things? You are holding torches like this, you can see it for ten miles and eight miles, don't you tell the enemy our whereabouts?"
"Scared, big brother, what do you mean by that?...... Is it possible to say that I am a mole?!"
"You...... Alas, I'm too lazy to tell you!"
Nangong was unwilling, and muttered: "Black goo, what if the fuck falls off the cliff?......"
"Shhhhh
Nangong Qiu and Nangong Rui hurriedly pressed Qiao'er and Yue'er into the grass, and the rest were all startled and quickly lay down in the long grass.
"Shhhh
"Right around here!" said a hoarse voice.
"Why is there no one?He Laosan, are you right?" asked another calm voice.
"Can't be wrong, I can see it clearly!"
"Brother Lu, I also saw the fire, indeed, in this area. A shrill voice testified.
"En......" The leader surnamed Lu looked around, and suddenly pointed to the grass where Nangong Fu and his party were hiding, "...... It's supposed to be hiding there, so beware!"
As soon as the words fell, with a "boom", a feather arrow shot out like a meteor, heading straight for his throat, but he was very agile, and the arrow fell with a "snap" palm.
In the sound of "Boom" and "Boom", two other feathered arrows were shot, and the two enemies snorted, apparently hanging the color.
"Lie down!" Brother Lu should be the leader of everyone, not only strong in martial arts, but also quick to react to the enemy.
"Whew!"
A flag flower soared into the sky and exploded in mid-air.
"Not good!" Nangong Fu's mind raced, "They are greeting their companions...... Gotta get out of here!"
Thinking of this, he jumped out and shouted, "Kill!"
The leader surnamed Lu snatched out with three enemies and captured Nangong Fu. Nangong Fu's sword was like the wind, and with a "click", he cut off the steel knife of one enemy, and almost at the same time, another enemy was hit by a sword in his chest and fell to the ground.
Nangong Shuo and Nangong Zhi both jumped out with their spears and attacked six enemies. The two guns went out to sea like dragons, circling vertically and horizontally, and after a while, two of the enemy fell under the guns, and the remaining four could not resist and kept retreating.
Nangong Qiu, Nangong Zhan, and Nangong Bo were like fierce tigers, their long swords flew over, and they knocked down three enemies in a blink of an eye. The rest of the enemy saw that they were so brave and swarmed up, and the three of them fought without fear.
Nangong Yi and Nangong Rui did not participate in the battle, and lay in the grass to protect Nangong Qiao and Nangong Yue, who were shivering; Nangong Di chose a condescending position, "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh" three arrows in a row, the arrows were not missing, one enemy was shot over, and the other two were hit in the shoulder and one in the calf.
Nangong Fu's sword was like a match, and after a few moments, another enemy was stabbed to death under the sword. The leader of Nalu was shocked and angry, but the cloud head knife in his hand could only be blocked, and he had no power to fight back, and after a few more rounds of fighting, another brother fell.
"Brothers, withdraw!" Leader Lu immediately made a decision, turned around and ran, and the rest still had the will to fight, and fled in embarrassment.
Nangong Di fired three arrows in unison and wounded three more enemies. The Nangong Shuo brothers are killing and are busy chasing after the victory.
"Don't chase it, come back!" Nangong Fu shouted.
The two did not dare to disobey, and returned with guns.
Nangong Fu's expression was solemn, and he said urgently: "The enemy's reinforcements will come soon, let's leave quickly!"
Nangong Fu's words immediately dispersed the joy of everyone's victory, making them suddenly nervous again, and the group rushed forward like lost dogs.
Nangong Fu took the lead, and after running for a few miles, he looked back at Nangong Qiao and Nangong Yue, who were stumbling, and frowned: "Third brother, tenth brother, you carry the seventh sister and the eleventh sister on your back!"
Nangong Qiu and Nangong Rui snorted, busily carrying their respective sisters, gritting their teeth and moving hard.
Nangong Fu looked at the twilight in the sky, and said angrily: "The sky is almost bright, and then insist on it! When we get to the market in front, we will buy horses!"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the faint sound of hooves behind him, and Nangong Fu suddenly changed color, "Oh no!
The crowd was terrified and turned their heads to look. The fog was so heavy that there was no trace of the enemy, but the sound of hooves in the dawn was so clear and loud on the silent earth that every "tapping" sound seemed to be heavily trampled on their hearts.
The sound of hooves grew louder and louder, and gradually rumbled, and one could already feel the dust flying in the night sky.
"Run!" Nangong Fu Tie blushed and snapped.
"Nangong Fu, you can't run away anymore!" Half a mile away, there was a clear shout.
Nangong Fu looked back and glanced at it, but saw that dozens of horsemen had rushed out of the Xiaowu and were rushing towards him with murderous energy; the two people at the head, one with a cloak flying sideways and a soft whip around his waist, and the other with a bandage on his shoulders and a long sword on his back, were none other than Shao Feng and Qiu Yundan.
