Chapter 203
Although Bai Yuxiao and Wang Zhaoxian met for the first time, they seemed to know each other late, and when Wang Zhaoxian's several pots of wine were drunk and Wang Zhaoxian was sent away, Bai Yuxiao and others lay on the ground and fell asleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although he drank some wine, in this wild night, surrounded by ordinary fleeing people, Bai Yuxiao knew that the more complicated the situation, the more he had to stay awake, although he was extremely tired, he could only close his eyes to recuperate, but his ears listened to all directions.
No wind or grass within ten zhang can escape his ears.
In this way, in the middle of the night, the fire of the fire became weak, and the people around them had already slept on the ground, only a dozen of Wang Zhaoxian's guards walked around, their eyes paying attention to the night around them.
Bai Yuxiao closed his eyes and listened to the sound of insects, the sound of trees blowing in the wind, and the whispering, snoring, and horses' hooves of the people not far away.
Bai Yuxiao's eyes suddenly opened, and Yun Cai'er, who had been asleep, was also startled.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and the sound of the sound is chaotic but it shakes the earth, and the earth trembles. The fleeing people who had been asleep stood up in panic.
Qiao'er also woke up, rubbed her eyes and said, "What's the sound, so noisy?"
Bai Yuxiao didn't know either, and scared Qiao'er and smiled: "The bandits are here." ”
When Qiao'er heard this, she didn't feel sleepy.
Sure enough, it was far away, and there was a fire not far away, and the cry was loud.
Seeing this, the fleeing people shouted, "The robbers are coming!"
Soon he abandoned his luggage and fled into the woods.
Yun Cai'er glanced at Bai Yuxiao and said, "You are really a crow's mouth." Bai Yuxiao only smiled bitterly.
Soon, more than 100 horsemen appeared, and the people on the horses were naked, holding knives in one hand and torches in the other, surrounding Bai Yuxiao and others.
Bai Yuxiao found out at this time that Wang Zhao Xian did not flee like those people, only to see his dozens of guards, drawing their swords out of their sheaths, protecting Wang Zhao Xian's tent, it seems that anyone who wants to get close has to ask their bright steel knives first.
The robbers were shocked at first when they saw that there would be a big man with a sword hidden among the people, but after comparing the strength of the people, they felt that they had an advantage in numbers and riding on horses, so they rushed to kill with swords.
Bai Yuxiao said to Yun Cai'er: "Protect Qiao'er." He jumped up, kicked his legs in the air, kicked a big man who had slashed with his knife off his horse, and put his toes on his horse, rising three feet high, and struck at the robbers who were close to Yun Cai'er and Qiao'er.
After a few ups and downs, a few robbers were kicked by Bai Yuxiao and fell to the ground.
Yun Cai'er listened to Bai Yuxiao's words, stayed by Qiao'er's side, and the silver needle in his hand struck out again and again, and the silver needle flew out, and the robbers in front of him fell to the ground.
Seeing that Yun Cai'er and Bai Yuxiao were hard, the robbers abandoned Bai Yuxiao and joined forces with other robbers to besiege Wang Zhaoxian's tent.
Yun Cai'er said, "Why are you standing and not going to help?"
Bai Yuxiao smiled: "Look, I'm afraid it's not enough for them to drink a pot." ”
I saw Wang Zhaoxian's subordinates outside the tent, all wielding steel knives, killing the robbers in front of them, although they were under the horse, compared to the disadvantage, but those guards cut off the horse's legs, the horse stumbled, and fell to the ground, and the robbers on the horse fell to the ground, not dead and seriously injured, and the wounded were hacked to death by those guards with their knives.
In such a bloody battle, in less than half an hour, hundreds of robbers were killed, and the remaining robbers had already fled in panic.
After the battle just now, Bai Yuxiao saw that Wang Zhaoxian's guard formation was orderly, and his sword skills were exquisite, blocking the robbers from three feet away from the crack in the tent, and he secretly admired it in his heart.
Yun Cai'er also saw it in her eyes and said with a smile: "What a powerful knife technique, this kind of skill, I am afraid that in the rivers and lakes, they are all first-class masters." ”
At this time, I saw that the curtain was closed, and a person's head poked out of it, looking left and right, but it was not who Wang Zhaoxian was.
A guard foreman had already stepped forward and said, "Master, the robbers have been driven away." ”
Wang Zhaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the tent, and said with a smile: "You have suffered, stay in Fuzhou, this king will be rewarded." ”
The guards thanked him.
Wang Zhaoxian, accompanied by the guards, walked towards Bai Yuxiao and the three of them.
Wang Zhao Xian Daoqi: "Brother Bai, Miss Cai'er, Miss Qiao'er, how are you? Those robbers can hurt three of them?"
Bai Yuxiao said: "No." ”
Wang Zhaoxian smiled and said, "How is it? My guards are good, if you don't run into me today, I'm afraid that the three of you will be killed by robbers." ”
Bai Yuxiao secretly laughed in his heart: "It seems that Wang Zhaoxian only said that it was his subordinates who saved them just now." ”
Qiao'er was unconvinced and said: "You have to figure it out, just now my brother Xiao and sister Cai'er retreated from the enemy by themselves, what do you have to do with it?"
When Wang Zhaoxian heard this, he asked the guards, and when he learned from the guards that Bai Yuxiao and others had killed the robbers, he smiled and said: "It turns out that my brother is not exposed, which is really surprising to this king." ”
Qiao Erqi said: "Why do you call yourself the king again, are you the prince?"
Wang Zhaoxian smiled after hearing this: "No, it's just that my surname is Wang, so I like to call myself the king." ”
Qiao'er nodded understandingly, but Bai Yuxiao and Yun Cai'er were suspicious in their hearts.
Bai Yuxiao said with a smile: "Brother Wang's guard sword skills are highly jue, which is admirable and admirable, if it wasn't for Brother Wang's men to resist most of the robbers just now, I'm afraid that even if the three of us have three heads and six arms, we will have to die under the robbers' knives." ”
Wang Zhaoxian said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I think Brother Bai's martial arts are also good, and he is upright, so it's better to stay and be my personal guard, and you can enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future." ”
Bai Yuxiao smiled and said: "Brother Wang is kind, brother understands, but I like freedom and don't like bondage, so I can't accept it." ”
Wang Zhaoxian sighed and said: "It's a pity that a little brother is so skilled and talented, and he is such a loose idle cloud and wild crane." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "I haven't lost a penny, what's a pity." ”
Wang Zhaoxian sighed and said: "The little brother naturally won't lose a penny, but the Great Song Dynasty has lost a talent, if the Great Song Dynasty has such thousands of talents, why would the thousands of miles of territory be defeated so far." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of sighing, Your Excellency has the heart to serve the country, why don't you stay in Lin'an, but take your bags and belongings and family and flee here." ”
When the guards behind Wang Zhaoxian heard this, they drew their swords out of their sheaths and shouted angrily: "What a bold man, you dare to speak like this to my master, I have to kill you here." ”
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen guards had already swung their knives and slashed at Bai Yuxiao.
Wang Zhao'an didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and looked back three feet away.
Yun Cai'er also protected Qiao'er from afar.
In the face of the siege of more than a dozen first-class swordsmen, Bai Yuxiao had no fear, with his bare hands, pinching left and right, and soon, the knives in the hands of more than a dozen guards were all captured by Bai Yuxiao.
Those guards still wanted to make a move, so Wang Zhaoxian scolded: "Stop." ”
The guards stopped and retreated, Wang Zhaoxian applauded and smiled: "Brother Bai is very skilled, Bai Yuxiao threw the knife in front of those guards and smiled: "Agreed." ”
Wang Zhaoxian sighed and said: "I only said that my subordinates are enough to fight all over the world, but after seeing you, I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people." ”
Bai Yuxiao said with a smile: "That's because Brother Wang's guards are merciful, otherwise I would be an opponent." ”
Wang Zhaoxian said: "Brother Bai doesn't have to be modest, it's you who show mercy to your subordinates, if Brother Bai uses all his strength, I'm afraid that dozens of my guards will go up together, and they will not be Brother Bai's opponents." ”
Although he can't say that he is 100% sure, Bai Yuxiao has that confidence, and he doesn't shirk it, and says with a smile: "Although the robbers are running away now, there are fish that have slipped through the net, but I am afraid that a large number of robbers will kill them in a while, and it is better for Brother Wang to leave here at night." ”
Wang Zhaoxian said with a smile: "Even if he has thousands of robbers who dare to come, my guards can fight against hundreds, so that he will not return." ”
Bai Yuxiao knew that those guards were strong in martial arts and first-class in swordsmanship, but it was impossible to defeat a hundred with one.
Bai Yuxiao said: "If this is the case, we will not accompany you, Brother Wang take care." ”
Wang Zhaoxian glanced at Qiao'er, with a look of reluctance, but still smiled: "Since Brother Bai has the intention of going, then I have to leave." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the tent in the camp, and the guards picked up the steel knives on the ground and followed closely.
Walking at night is always not as smooth as during the day, Bai Yuxiao holds a torch and walks in front to open the way, with Yun Cai'er and Qiao'er following behind.
Qiao'er smiled: "With one enemy and one hundred, I think that Wang Gongzi is a madman." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "I don't think he looks like a madman. ”
Qiao'er glanced at Bai Yuxiao and said, "If he is not a madman, I think you are a madman, brother." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Where am I like a madman?"
Qiao'er said: "That prince is confident that his subordinates are one against hundreds, and he is obviously a madman, and you still speak for him, not even more of a madman." Sister Cai'er, do you think I'm right? ”
Yun Cai'er smiled: "Half right." ”
Qiao'er said: "Where did I say something wrong?"
Yun Cai'er smiled: "That prince is not a madman. ”
Qiao'er smiled: "You mean to say that Brother Xiao is a madman." ”
Yun Cai'er said: "This is what you said, but it has nothing to do with me." ”
Bai Yuxiao suddenly stopped and sat down at the root of a tree.
Qiao'er and Yun Cai'er were surprised, and walked to Bai Yuxiao's side, Qiao'er said, "Brother Xiao, why didn't you leave suddenly?"
Bai Yuxiao said: "You two together squeeze me, and don't let me sit down to dissipate my anger." ”
When Qiao'er and Yuncai'er heard this, they both laughed.
Qiao'er said: "My brother is so stingy, so he is angry." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "What am I angry about, how can I be angry as a madman." ”
Qiao'er and Yun Cai'er also sat down, and Qiao'er said, "Anyway, I don't think that Wang Gongzi is a good person." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "That prince is very interested in you, don't you feel ashamed to say this about him?"
Qiao'er gaged and said: "I didn't ask him to take a fancy to me, I felt disgusted when I saw so many of his wives and concubines." ”
Bai Yuxiao smiled: "He has a solid family, don't you want to live a good life?"
Qiao'er snorted coldly and said: "Who doesn't want to live a good life, but if you want to live a good life with someone you don't like, I'd rather die." ”
Bai Yuxiao only said that Qiao'er was born in poverty, and she would yearn for a rich and luxurious life, but she didn't expect that she would be a silly girl who yearns for love.
Bai Yuxiao sighed and said: "It's difficult for me to do this with you, before your father died, I said that I would help you find a good mother-in-law, and now you say that you want to find someone you like, where can I go to find one you like." ”
Qiao'er smiled: "I'm not looking for Pan An to be the father-in-law, why is it difficult to find?"
Yun Cai'er said: "Then you can tell me what Ruyi Langjun looks like in your mind, and your brother Xiao can also find a good lover for you." ”
Qiao'er said: "To be both civil and military, dignified, handsome and chic, graceful, talented, gentle and elegant, courteous, big family, scholarly family ......"
Bai Yuxiao hurriedly interrupted Qiao'er's words and said: "Good sister, according to your standards, I am afraid that I will go all over the Nine Heavens, fish all over the five lakes and seas, dig all over the world, and go all over the ends of the earth, and it will be impossible to find such a Langjun for you." ”
Qiao'er said: "If you look for it slowly, you will always find it, even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm only fourteen years old, it's too early, and I'm not in a hurry to get married." ”
Bai Yuxiao and Yun Cai'er glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly, they knew that the reason why Qiao'er said so many requests to Ruyi Langjun was that she didn't want to get married.
Bai Yuxiao sighed and said, "I don't know how long I can still be by your side?"
Qiao'er said: "Where is Brother Xiao going?"
Bai Yuxiao said: "Naturally, after finding my father, I went back to Saiwai." ”
Qiao'er said: "Then won't my brother come back after he goes back?"
Bai Yuxiao shook his head and said, "I don't plan to come back, it's calmer outside." ”
As they spoke, the three of them were so tired that they fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, I found that it was very bright.
Bai Yuxiao, Yun Cai'er and Qiao'er woke up, and Qiao'er said, "Now do we still want to go to the southeast and find your father." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Now our only clue is to look for the southeast, so naturally we should continue to go southeast." ”
The three of them walked southeast.
Qiao'er said: "Now we are going back, I hope we won't meet that prince." ”
After walking for several miles, Bai Yuxiao and the three of them really returned to the place where the fleeing people stopped to make food last night.
Looking at the mess all over the ground, Bai Yuxiao and the three of them frowned.
The bodies of the robbers who were killed last night are still there, but they have become more numerous, including those of Wang Zhaoxian's guards.
Qiao'er said: "Brother is really right, the robbers came back last night, and it seems that Wang Gongzi's subordinates failed to defeat a hundred." ”
Bai Yuxiao naturally knew that those guards could not defeat a hundred, because he counted the corpses of the guards lying on the ground, and knew that none of the guards were alive, and those guards were full of swords and crossbows.
Bai Yuxiao said: "It seems that those robbers were prepared in advance, and they took advantage of the night to shoot those guards with bows and arrows, and then they could take away Wang Zhaoxian's wives and concubines and belongings without any difficulty. ”
Yun Cai'er nodded and said, "That's right, the arrow attack in the dark night, no matter how high the martial arts of those guards are, it is impossible to avoid the rain of arrows that cannot be seen." ”
Qiao'er said: "That prince is really pitiful, if he had listened to his brother last night, he would not have fallen to such a situation." ”
Bai Yuxiao smiled: "What, I feel sorry for him now?"
Qiao'er pouted and said: "What does his life and death have to do with me, I just pity those beautiful girls and guards for taking their lives and fate with him in vain." ”
Bai Yuxiao also sighed for those flower-like girls who fell into the hands of bandits.
Bai Yuxiao sighed and said, "Each has its own destiny, let's go." ”
As he was walking, he suddenly noticed grass moving in the nearby jungle.
Yun Cai'er shouted: "Whoever is hiding there, come out quickly." ”
As the clouds said this, the grass shook even more.
Yun Cai'er said: "If you don't come out again, I'm not welcome." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman stood up from the grass and said in horror, "Don't kill me." ”
Bai Yuxiao walked over, only to feel that the woman in front of him was very familiar, so he asked, "You are Wang Zhaoxian's wife and concubine." ”
The woman panicked, "That's right. ”
Bai Yuxiao said, "Can you tell me what happened last night?"
The woman panicked, "In the middle of the night last night, a group of robbers shot arrows at us, and then took away the prince and the other concubines and all the belongings they were carrying. ”
Sure enough, it was as predicted by Bai Yuxiao and the three of them, but what surprised Bai Yuxiao and the three of them the most was that the woman mentioned the prince.
Bai Yuxiao hurriedly said: "Who do you mean by the prince?"
The woman said: "It is the younger brother of the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Prince Gong Zhao Xian." ”
"Prince Gong Zhao Xian!" Bai Yuxiao, Yun Cai'er and Qiao'er exclaimed in surprise.
The woman said, "That's right, it's Prince Gong Zhao Xian." ”
Qiao'er said in disbelief: "Could it be the white-faced boy last night?"
The woman said, "That's right, he is the prince of my family." ”
"Wang Zhaoxian. Bai Yuxiao muttered, secretly amusing in his heart, he should have thought of it earlier.
Qiao'er said: "It's okay now, it turned out to be a prince, no wonder there is no one in his eyes, and he thinks that his guards can be one enemy and one hundred." ”
Bai Yuxiao asked the woman again, "Why weren't you arrested?"
The woman said, "I came out in the middle of the night to relieve my hands, and I escaped by luck." ”
Bai Yuxiao nodded and said, "I see, then where do you see that gang of robbers going?"
The woman pointed to the east and said, "It's going east." ”
Bai Yuxiao looked east, and saw that there were dozens of miles away in the east, and there were continuous mountains.
Bai Yuxiao nodded and said, "Yes, as the so-called mountains gather many bandits, there must be a bandit's lair." ”
Qiao'er said: "What's the matter if you're here, what's the matter if you're not there, brother Fei, are you going to poke that bandit's den?"
Bai Yuxiao nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Qiao'er said: "Why, just for that prince?"
Bai Yuxiao nodded and said, "Even if it's an ordinary person, I have to save it." ”
Qiao'er said: "If you want to go, Sister Cai'er and I won't go with you." ”
Bai Yuxiao looked at Yun Cai'er.
Yun Cai'er said: "Qiao'er is right, if you want to go, you will go by yourself, I don't want to poke that hornet's nest with you." ”
"I'm not going to take you there, I'm going to go alone. ”
Bai Yuxiao found a nearby market town and placed Yun Cai'er, Qiao'er, and Zhao Xian's concubines in an inn.
I found a horse and inquired that the mountain was Wuyi Mountain.
