"I'll go with you", Qu Yi saw Zhao Kuangyin's verbal response, and couldn't wait to leave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Chai Rong said: "You are injured like this now, how to go, let's find an inn nearby to stay first, and wait for our news." Qu Yi said: "My little injury is not in the way, it is important to save my son-in-law at the moment, don't worry about me, I'm afraid you can't find my son-in-law, I have to go with you to rest assured, let's go quickly." Qu Yi kept urging, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't resist him, Chai Rong said: "No matter what, you have to at least bandage the wound first to stop the bleeding before leaving." Chai Rong said and bandaged his wound, then helped him up and prepared to go to Liuli Lake. looked around, ran to an inn, saw a few horses tied in front of the yard, took out the silver and put it on the ground, untied the reins, rode on a horse, and drove two horses to Zhao Kuangyin and Qu Yi in front, Zhao Kuangyin and Qu Yi both jumped up, Qu Yi rushed in front, the three of them galloped quickly, due to the bump on the horse, Qu Yi's bandaged wound cracked again, and the blood stained the snow-white gauze.
The three of them soon came to a place not far from Liuli Lake, Qu Yi Le Ma jumped down, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin also jumped down when they saw this, Chai Rong said: "Brother Quyi, why did you get off the horse, you will be there soon." Qu Yi said: "The people who chased me and my son are nearby, except for some of them who were led away by me, the rest stayed here to search for my son, and I don't know what happened to my son-in-law, so we quietly touched it from here." So the three of them took advantage of the dawning sky in the east, and quietly approached them under the cover of trees and grass. After walking for a while, there was no one in sight, and the courage of the three of them was enlarged, and at this moment, Chai Rong suddenly saw a few people in front of him chopping the jungle grass and leaves on the road and searching very carefully, as if they were looking for something, and quickly pressed the heads of Zhao Kuangyin and Qu Yi, hid aside, and quietly walked away from the front of those people.
Qu Yi walked in front, took Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin and continued to move forward quietly, and soon came to a place overgrown with weeds, Qu Yi pulled away the dry grass around him, and threw it aside, and suddenly a small cave two or three feet high appeared in front of the three of them, which should be a nest built by nearby animals, Qu Yi lay at the entrance of the cave and shouted softly: "Childe, childe." After shouting for a while, there was gradually movement inside, and a person slowly crawled out of it, covered with injuries, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward to help pull the man out, Qu Yi said: "Childe, how are you, are you okay?" Xue Zan shook his head and said, "It's okay, why are you back again, those people haven't left yet, they are nearby, it's too dangerous here." ”
Qu Yi said: "Childe, you are still here, how can I not come back." I brought two righteous men to save you, this is Brother Chai Rong, this is Brother Zhao Kuangyin, and I am also they who saved me. Qu Yi pointed to Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin as he spoke, and introduced the two of them to Xue Zan. Xue Zan said: "Thank you two righteous men for saving me, I am really grateful." Chai Rong said: "Brother Tai doesn't have to be polite, you must be Xue Zan." Xue Zan said: "It's just below." While they were talking, several people not far away walked towards them, and the four of them quickly hid in the grass behind the cave and held their breath, not daring to make a sound, and watched the few people walk in front of them, and they breathed a sigh of relief after a long distance.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Why are there people everywhere around here?" Xue Zan said: "Quyi and I were chased and killed by them so far, but my injuries were too serious to run, so I hid in the small cave just now, Quyi wanted to lure them away, but there were too many people coming from them", Xue Zan said that the wound hurt again, and quickly covered it with his hand.
Chai Rong looked at Xue Zan's wound and said, "You have lost so much blood, we must quickly leave here and find a place to stop the bleeding for you, otherwise our lives will be in danger." Xue Zan said: "But there are their people everywhere here, how can we leave?" I understand the kindness of the two righteous men, what they want to arrest is me, you all go, Quyi, you also follow the two righteous men." Qu Yi said: "Childe, I have followed you since I was a child, it is my mission to protect you, how can I escape alone, it's a big deal to die here together, otherwise how can I have the face to see the master under Jiuquan in the future." Xue Zan saw that Quyi was determined and would never leave, so he had to sigh helplessly.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "What kind of enmity do you have with these people, do they have to put you to death?" Xue Zan and Qu Yi looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable, and they didn't know how to answer, Zhao Kuangyin was anxious, and he couldn't manage much, "At this time, you still refuse to tell the truth, how can we save it?" Chai Rong said: "Third brother, since Brother Xue and Brother Qu don't want to say it, they have their own hardships, so don't embarrass them." ”
Xue Zan also realized that Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin met with him, and it was a bit unreasonable to expect others to save him if he didn't even have this trust, and now his life was hanging by a thread, and he didn't have to hide it," Brother Zhao is right, I should be honest with you, in this case, now I will tell you the ins and outs of the matter, this matter has to start with the Yellow King decades ago, when the Yellow King's army arrived at Tongguan, a few days later into Chang'an, but when entering Chang'an, but faced the Tang Army's crazy counterattack, the Yellow King was worried that one day the righteous army would lose, so in the two years of Chang'an, on the one hand, he wantonly scraped the treasures of those dignitaries and royal relatives, and on the other hand, secretly made a large number of weapons, these treasures and weapons are amazingly numerous, all of them were secretly transported out of Chang'an City, in order to prepare for the resurgence after the defeat, and the place where these treasures and weapons were buried was painted into a remnant mapWhen the Yellow King divided this remnant map into four, handed over to several generals under his command, and then these four people were scattered in all sides, and did not contact each other, I am one of the descendants of the general Xue Yizhen, he left Chang'an with a remnant map, and lived in seclusion in Shu, I didn't expect so many years later, this matter was known by the current emperor of Shu, they have been eyeing the Central Plains Dynasty, but Shu has been like many other places in recent years, natural disasters continue, and the people fail to harvest, resulting in insufficient treasury, so the emperor wants to grab the remnant map, find this batch of treasures and weapons to realize their ambition to enter the Central Plains。 ”
Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong were a little surprised after hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin said: "I see, I said that the attire of these people is a little different from that of the Central Plains, it turns out that they are Shu people, and in this troubled world, such a large number of treasures will naturally be coveted by many people, and I am afraid that the remnant picture will be a scourge on you." ”
Xue Zan said: "I don't know, these people outside are all masters of the forbidden army, all of them are very skilled, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to save the remnants, but I will also lose my life, but the Xue family is deeply entrusted to protect this treasure for generations, and we must not let it fall into the hands of people with ill intentions." Chai Rong said: "Brother Xue, don't worry, you just need to put away the remnants of the good life, and we will definitely find a way to protect you." ”
While talking, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt some abnormalities around him, and his expression became a little nervous, the four of them slowly looked up and looked around, and found that a group of people were approaching them in a large circle with sharp blades, seeing that they were surrounded by people, Xue Zan quietly put his hands behind his back, took out a piece of cloth and a small piece of truncated jade from his sleeve and handed it to Chai Rong, Chai Rong didn't dare to look behind him, so he had to take something and stuff it into his sleeve quietly.
The four of them slowly leaned together and slowly got up, and those killers gradually approached, and the first one pointed at Xue Zan and shouted: "Xue Zan, you can't run away, as long as you hand over the things obediently, I can spare your life." ”
Xue Zan said: "Zheng Yu, listen to me, our Xue family's three generations of guardian remnants, even if they die, they will not be handed over to you." Zheng Yu knew that Xue Zan was stubborn, so he no longer persuaded and shouted, "Kill", and everyone immediately rushed forward. Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin protected Xue Zan behind them and tried to rush out, Xue Zan knew very well that he and Qu Yi were too seriously injured in the face of so many masters, but the remnants of the picture must not fall into the hands of these people, so he said to Chai Rong: "Brother Chai, Brother Zhao, leave us alone, the four of us can't escape today, but with the skills of you and Brother Zhao, there is no problem in escaping." Chai Rong said: "No, you two must go with us." Xue Zan said: "Quyi and I are too seriously injured, and no one can leave with us in the end, you guys go quickly." ”
Although Xue Zan urged Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin to go, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin still wanted to try their best to take them outside to fight, and when they were about to rush out again and again, they were blocked back, Xue Zan and Qu Yi were already very injured, and they were exhausted after such a rush, Xue Zan retreated to Chai Rong and whispered: " What I just gave you is the remnant picture, and there is a truncated jade, this truncated jade was handed over to the four generals by the Yellow King together with the remnant map, each person's broken jade can be connected with the broken jade of the other two, once connected, no matter who you are, the other three descendants will unconditionally hand over the remnant of the picture in their hands, but you must gather four truncated jade at the same time to get four remnant pictures, you must leave safely with them, I can't do it anymore, don't care about us anymore, I hope you can use it to do something useful to the world in the future, if you can't keep it, even if it is burned, it can't fall into the hands of traitors。 Chai Rong was shocked in his heart, looking at Xue Zan's almost begging eyes, and gave him a lot of trust, he understood more the meaning of the crippled picture on his body to Xue Zan and his own responsibility, Chai Rong's heart fell into infinite entanglement, and suddenly made up his mind, shouted, and shouted: "Third brother, let's go." At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was fighting hard, and when he heard Chai Rong's shout, he was very surprised, and replied loudly: "Second brother, we can't go, we can't leave Xue Zan and Quyi." Chai Rong heard this, his heart was even more uncomfortable, and a sour feeling in his heart surged up, he now understands how powerless he is many times, he hesitated, how can he not take another step out of the steps that have already been taken, Xue Zan saw this, worried that Chai Rong would change his mind again, and Qu Yi looked at each other, and at the same time pushed Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin out, and rushed to the crowd suicidly, Zheng Yu was shocked by Xue Zan and Qu Yi's sudden move, and did not understand why Xue Zan did not hesitate to die to defend the honor and responsibility of the family. Of course, even if he understood, he would not make any changes, because at this moment, the surrounding Shu Kingdom killers had already raised the butcher's knife mercilessly towards Xue Zan and Qu Yi.
Chai Rong endured his grief and rushed out with Zhao Kuangyin, blood splashed all over his face, and finally looked back, the enemy's butcher's knife kept slashing at Xue Zan and Qu Yi's bodies, but they didn't seem to have any pain, watching Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin rush out, with a very peaceful smile on their faces.
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin left with regret and anger, Zheng Yu sent a group of people to chase after them, and then walked to Xue Zan and Qu Yi, who died tragically under their butcher's knife, and ordered someone to search for the remnants of the picture on them, but they searched all over the body, but they didn't find anything, Zheng Yu's face became a little ugly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly shouted: "Hurry up and chase those two people just now." Then he led the people to the lake, untied the fast horse tied to the tree, and chased after him.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin rode in front, Zheng Yu led people to chase wildly, but Zheng Yu and others rode the military horses raised in the palace of Shu Kingdom, the breed of foot strength is far better than Chai Rong in the inn at random to lead the horse, seeing that it is about to catch up, Zhao Kuangyin is anxious to cut the horse under the seat, the horse was in severe pain and raised its front legs and neighed and suddenly ran wildly, Chai Rong also drew the same way, the two gradually distanced themselves from Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu chased to the bend and there were two forks in the road, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin also disappeared.
Zheng Yu stopped, and a person next to him asked: "Commander Zheng, those two people are gone, how should we go on the two roads?" Zheng Yu said: "One of these two roads leads to Weizhou City, and the other leads to Jinnan Road, and the people who were sent to chase and kill Quyi chased them to Weizhou, and Quyi finally came back from Weizhou, so these two people must have run back to Weizhou, go, go to Weizhou." Zheng Yu rushed to Weizhou with a group of murderers.
Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin finally returned to the Qingque Gang, and were walking towards the gate to meet Jing Xining standing at the door and looking out, Jing Xining saw the two of them, and ran down the stone steps happily, and when Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin approached, they looked at the appearance of the two of them, and quickly asked: "What's wrong with you, why did you make it like this?" You two didn't return last night, I was afraid that something happened to you, so I sent two groups of people to look for it, but it can be regarded as back. Chai Rong said: "Let the eldest brother worry, it is indeed a temporary encounter, we will tell you in detail later." Jing Xining said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this first, hurry up and go in and wash your face and clean up your body." ”
