Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Yellow Sand Road is Long, and all kinds of tricks are on the way home
The murders have been disturbing one after another
Meng Taihua died, the Tianshan Mountains fell, and the martial arts people finally let go of their big burdens and slept peacefully. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info got up in the morning energetic, much more relaxed, but after being away from home for a long time, the worry intensified, and they all wanted to return to the Central Plains quickly, so they collected all the things that could be taken away from the residence. After packing and preparing his bags, he thought that he was still alive, thanks to Qingyu, Yintao and Wild Tao, so he thanked the three of them together and resigned by the way.
Out of the valley to the grassland, and see that the grass has withered, cattle and sheep are decreasing, and sigh in my heart that time has passed. When he came to the herdsmen's tent, he took out all the silver taels, bought a large herd of cattle, sheep, and horses, prepared dry food, and hurried back in batches. When he came, 400 warriors, righteous and vigorous, turbulent and mighty, when he returned, 300 decrepitized soldiers, lost their souls, and their bones were destroyed, not the consumption of time, but the destruction of failure!
When the figure was about to disappear on the edge of the grassland, there was only one sentence in his heart: "Failure, failure!" Fortunately, God still opened his eyes, and he was able to save his life.
After everyone left, the seven people stayed in the valley for another three days, and Yintao and Wild Tao's injuries improved greatly and they could move on their own, so they decided to go out of the valley and return to the Central Plains. Xiao Ke took the ashes of Ximen Chong and Lin Zhongyue, and the seven of them left the valley.
Qingyu saw the grassland and sighed: "People are not things, the grass was still green when we went up the mountain, and now it is withered and yellow everywhere." ”
Jingwen said: "Yiye Zhiqiu, we have seen yellow leaves when we were on the mountain, what is so strange here? Master is afraid that he is already worried about me." A tug of love jade said: "You can't go back on what you promised, let's go on the road." ”
Qingyu said: "Isn't it good to walk with everyone? There is a response on the road." ”
Jingwen shouted: "It's not good, you have so many helpers, I'm only alone, and I will suffer from fighting." Besides, my master only needs you and doesn't want them, so I don't have to let them follow. ”
Yintao said with a smile: "That's right, we will make the two of you unhappy, don't dare to disturb, let's do our own thing." ”
The red rat and green rabbit smiled: "The little girl is good, remember to see her master, and then take her to see your grandfather, we will meet in the valley." ”
Jingwen said: "I'm afraid he won't have a chance." "Say goodbye to everyone.
Qingyu took out the small bamboo whistle given by Meng Ge from her bosom, and said with a smile: "I don't know if those two magic horses are still there, if they are not, I think I have to find them to accompany me." ”
Jingwen said: "It must be, if you are not there, I have to cut off your head and walk alone." ”
Qingyu said: "Don't you be so fierce, okay?" Blowing the bamboo whistle vigorously, the sharp whistle pierced time and space, drifting on the grassland for a long time, and spreading into the distance.
After a while, two shadows, one red and one white, floated on the orange grassland, close to the two of them. Qingyu waited for the red horse to approach, touched the horse's back, suddenly jumped up, patted the horse and ran out, and said: "Let's have a horse race, if you catch up, you will go to see your master, and if you can't catch up, you will walk separately." ”
Jingwen shouted, "You are a scoundrel, let's start from the beginning." "Hop on your horse and chase after you. Two shadows, one red and one white, jumped rapidly, with their backs to the setting sun, rushing towards the sky.
Although the martial arts people set off three days earlier than Qingyu, it only took Qingyu and Jingwen one day to catch up, say hello, and float over. Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "The heroic young girl, even the horse she rides is extraordinary, how can God be so unfair." Looking at the horses under his crotch, which were strong but as slow as cattle and sheep, he smiled bitterly and whipped hard.
On the seventh day, when they arrived at a tribe, they saw that the corpses were all over the ground, and the tents were all turned to ashes, and they could not help but ask, "This is what the robbers did?" rummaging among the corpses, but found only a little boy of eleven or twelve years old, who escaped by pressing under the dead bodies of two old men.
A few people in the crowd could understand the child's language, and after comforting them for a while, they asked who had killed so many people, but the answer was a man and a woman riding red and white horses, both of whom were very good-looking, but did not blink when they killed. Ask why the killing? The child just shook his head. According to the child's description, it should be Qingyu and Jingwen who killed people, but no one believed it. After some discussion, everyone finally decided to bring the child with them, on the one hand, they could take care of him, and on the other hand, they could take him to see Qingyu to see if all this was done by Qingyu.
On the morning of the eighth day, when they had not gone far, they saw a small tribe burned to the ground, and dead bodies were laid out on the road, and two or three old women were lying on the corpses and weeping loudly. The person who understood the language stepped forward to ask what happened, but the answer was that a pair of men and women on horseback ransacked the place, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but move: "Could it be Qingyu again?" When asked about the appearance of the two, several old women only depicted it in three or two sentences, and it was indeed Qingyu and Jingwen. Everyone didn't want to believe it, I was afraid that it was another pair of men and women, and finally someone suggested that Qianqiong draw the appearance of the two for him to identify.
When going out, Qianqiong could not always carry pen and ink with him, and the warriors did not like ink and writing, so in desperation, he had to find two white cloths, make fire ash and water as ink, cut off a sheep's tail as a pen, and waved his hand to paint. It's also a shame that others call him poetry and painting, but this simple appliance paints the faces of the two of them vividly, almost a real face, and everyone can't help but shout "Okay." ”
Qianqiong said: "This matter is not trivial, it is related to the name and future of a young hero, so don't be cautious, let's see if there are any shortcomings, I will change it." ”
Everyone circulated it carefully, nodded and said, "There is nothing more similar than this, you draw exactly the same points." ”
After everyone was sure, Qianqiong took the two paintings for the women to identify, and several women were immediately excited when they saw the portraits, their eyes were full of infinite resentment, and they shouted and screamed. The crowd didn't need an interpreter to know that a few people were saying, "It's him, it's these two demons who killed my family and people, and I want revenge." ”
The crowd was relatively speechless, unable to believe that this was true. Qianqiong flattened the painting and asked the women to identify it carefully, but the women replied: "That's right, it's them, I recognize them when they turn to ashes." ”
A thoughtful person found the child he met yesterday to recognize the painting, and when the child saw the painting, his face immediately turned pale and screamed in shock, pointing to the painting and saying quickly, his eyes were both hellish horror and abyssal hatred. The crowd sighed softly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
Qianqiong said: "I don't think things are so simple, with the love of the jade son's personality, I firmly don't believe that he will do this." ”
Everyone: "We too, he is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he is not afraid to sacrifice himself to save us, how can he do such a hurtful thing? ”
One of them whispered, "But these women say that it is indeed him, how can they explain it, is the woman lying?"
The crowd fell silent again, and another said: "I don't think those women are lying, but I don't believe that Prince Qingyu will kill people and set fires, which makes no sense to him at all." ”
Qianqiong said: "In any case, this matter must be investigated, on the one hand, we must find out the real culprit for the Qing Yu Gongzi to clarify, on the other hand, we should also uphold justice and seek justice for the victims, which is the unshirkable responsibility of our martial arts students." ”
Everyone nodded together and said, "That's right." So he searched for clues at the scene of the murder, but unfortunately found nothing, and finally left the child behind and continued to hurry.
In the afternoon, a man's heart-rending cry was heard, and everyone rushed forward, only to see a young man snuggling up to a young woman crying out in pain, but the young woman was already dead. Everyone couldn't help but feel cold when they looked closely, the young woman was a pregnant woman, but her belly was cut open, and the formed fetus was clearly visible. The young man saw the fire in everyone's eyes, and as soon as he rushed forward, he punched and struck, scolding incessantly. The beaten man shouted, "Your wife is dead, do my." Fly up and kick it to the ground, leaning over and holding it down.
Qianqiong asked the translator, what was the young man scolding, and the result was that he was scolding the Han people, saying that it was not a good thing for the Han people to kill his wife, and everyone almost fainted, and Qianqiong took out the portrait and immediately confirmed that this murder was committed by Qingyu.
A rough man scolded: "Damn, this is too inhumane, if I see that he has to be chopped up and fed to the dog, who the hell has no father, no mother, no wife and children, doing such a heartbreaking thing, don't you want to be the last?"
Qianqiong said: "Through this third murder, I have an idea, the real murderer deliberately did all this to show us in front, so as to frame the prince of Qingyu, I have reason to believe that he will still commit the crime." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, and Xiao Jiancong, the leader of the beggar gang, said: "What the head of the Qian family said is very right, so we can't watch the murder happen again, it's time to stop it." ”
Qianqiong said: "Yes, from now on, we will divide into two ways to intercept and kill the real murderer." ”
Xiao Jiancong said: "I think that the target of a large number of people and horses is too big, and it is extremely intentional to cause the enemy to guard against it and set another trap for us, and we are in the open and they are in the dark, and there is no target to chase, so we should be bright and dark." ”
Qianqiong said: "Gang Leader Xiao's analysis is reasonable, please make it clear how to arrange it." ”
Xiao Jiancong said: "We selected twelve martial arts masters from among the people to be the vanguard, and then dressed these twelve people as ethnic minorities, divided into two groups of fast horses to rush back, and made some marks along the line, while the rest of us people are still rushing along the marks as before, so that the enemy will think that we have not reacted yet, and the twelve people can stop the enemy before the tragedy and take down the real culprit." ”
Qianqiong said: "Good idea, there is another point that should be noted, the enemy framed the prince of Qingyu, but it is the entire Fengyun family that is implicated, and the origin must be not small." ”
Xiao Jiancong said, "You mean the 'Hanging Moon Sect'?"
Qianqiong said: "I can't be sure, but if it is, it will definitely be very troublesome, therefore, I advise the twelve people not to make a rash move, find out the situation first, and take down the real culprit as soon as possible, if you can't contain it, send someone to ask for help, and we will arrive immediately." Everyone agreed.
The discussion has been decided, and everyone will launch twelve people with strong martial arts and shrewd and capable people to dress up, and the team is still moving at the same speed as before, but everyone has a question: "What if the real murderers are Qingyu and Jingwen, can you really kill Qingyu and Fengyun as one enemy?"
In the evening, the group encountered another tragedy, when passing through a small forest, they saw two girls with unkempt hair and uncovered clothes hugging each other in pain, and there were four corpses lying next to them. When everyone came forward to check, the two girls shrank in horror, and the person who knew their language stepped forward to ask, and the two girls cried and complained that they were bullied by a Han teenager and killed their relatives. Xiao Jiancong and Kong Lingfeng, the head of the Taishan faction, stepped forward to check the corpse, saw that the blood stains had not dried, and then asked the two girls when the crime occurred, and the girls said that it was less than an hour.
Xiao Jiancong said: "It seems that our plan has been half successful, but those twelve people have not yet encountered the real murderer, and the real murderer is not far away at this time, so we will hurry up and intercept him." The crowd applauded.
Kong Lingfeng said: "I suggest that the heads of our six major factions go and trap them first, and then everyone catches up, so as not to give the real culprit a chance to prevent and hide." And they agreed.
The six masters turned over and galloped forward in the night, but their eyes and ears were focused in all directions, so they had to find any figure and immediately stepped forward to take it down. Everyone didn't dare to lag too far behind, and the pegasus whipped and galloped mightily in the hazy moonlight, which made people have a mysterious shock.
After chasing until midnight, there was still no half of a figure, but the horses could no longer run because of the day's drive, so the six masters had to stop and wait for everyone to arrive, and they stayed overnight. Everyone hated the real murderer, but they didn't see the real person, and they were depressed in their hearts and scolded non-stop. Qianqiong said: "I suddenly had a new idea, we can't go on like this anymore, otherwise more people will die." ”
Kong Lingfeng said: "You mean that our existence has caused so many people to die in vain?"
Qianqiong nodded and said, "It seems unfair to everyone to say this, but it is true." ”
Xiao Jiancong said: "Yes, the real murderer is for us to see, as long as we exist, he will continue to kill, we can't kill more people in order to track down the real murderer for the dead, we must hurry as soon as possible, go ahead of the real murderer, so that he has no reason to kill innocent people indiscriminately." ”
Kong Lingfeng said: "Do you want to let the real murderer get away with it, and we will sit idly by?"
Qianqiong said: "I believe that they will still commit crimes, and they will eventually have a chance to catch them." ”
Xiao Jiancong said: "They are playing for a large group of us, which is equivalent to playing for the entire martial arts people, therefore, I suspect that they will end all this after we enter the Central Plains and disappear completely, so that we have no way to investigate, we can only suspect Qingyu." ”
Kong Lingfeng said: "In this way, on the one hand, we have to hurry up, and on the other hand, we have to hurry up to find the real culprit, it seems that we have a very difficult case to solve." The rest of the leaders all nodded and decided to set off early tomorrow morning to rush back to the Central Plains in the shortest possible time to end this nightmare on the grassland.
In the morning, everyone should not go on the road after eating, and they saw a burned tribe not far away, and in addition to the nomads, there were six of them who were sent to track down the real murderer. One person has not yet lost his breath, and the six heads of the family hurriedly came to the rescue, and after the man woke up, the first thing he said was: "Crazy, crazy, he is crazy." ”
The six people hurriedly asked who was the one who did it, and the man said: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it, it's really Qingyu and that girl, they are crazy, they will kill people when they see ......"
Qianqiong said: "How can this be, can you see clearly?"
The man spat out a stream of blood and said, "Yes...... They take pleasure in killing, and they spit out another stream of blood ......."
Xiao Jiancong said: "Okay, don't say it, we'll save you." The man's head tilted, but he breathed.
Kong Lingfeng shouted: "How can this be? This is impossible, I don't believe it." ”
But everyone's confidence was shaken, and one of them asked, "These six people are all very good at martial arts, who has the ability to kill so many people and kill them at the same time?"
Qianqiong gritted her teeth and said: "Whether it is him or not, we must find it as soon as possible, everyone will chase after them, and take them down whenever we see a pair of Han men and women." "Get on the horse first, and everyone thinks that this is the only way to do it, and it follows.
The crowd ran until noon, and heard the shouts of killing in front of them, and hurriedly waved their whips. Running through a large sand dune, Dan saw two white-clothed men and women fighting with three shepherds waving their swords, and there were three people hiding on the ground. The man and woman swung their swords more quickly, and before the crowd could rush to the ground and slew the three of them, they laughed and shouted, "You are too late again, fools. "Jump on horseback.
At this time, the distance was close, and everyone could see that it was Qingyu and Jingwen, and the two of them were riding two red and white horses, coming and going like the wind, and when everyone rushed to arrive, the two had already blown away in the dust, and they could no longer catch up. When I looked at the six people again, it was a pioneer warrior again, two of them had blood gushing from their mouths and were not yet dead, so they helped him up and asked, only to hear him say: "We all misunderstood him, he is a pseudo-......" and he was already out of breath, and the other one was still a little better, telling everyone what had happened.
It turned out that they were the latter team of the two vanguards, and they rushed to find that the front tribe was in flames, and when they arrived, they were dead, including six vanguard warriors, so they decided to chase after them, and when they chased here, they met Qingyu and Jingwen, and the two first greeted the six people enthusiastically and then chatted about the situation, and the six people then mentioned the four murders that happened in front of them, and the two resolutely denied it, and when the six people hesitated, they suddenly turned their faces and stabbed two people to death. The other party made a move, and the remaining four people were not as skilled as their swordsmanship, and they were injured by them.
Everyone couldn't understand how the heroic and chivalrous love jade could become a demon who killed people without blinking, and kept asking in their hearts what this was for. Qianqiong wanted to save the man, but the man died again, feeling both sad and painful, and said loudly: "We must not leave them any more time to commit crimes, they all get on the horse, even if they are tired to death, they must be caught and mounted." ”
Everyone has formed a natural tacit understanding in long-term group activities, as long as one person advocates, the rest will respond, and it is no longer like going to Tianshan Mountain to intrigue all day long, each holding its own opinion, self-righteousness. With just one sound, they all got on their horses and galloped forward like a wind.
