"Drive!"
On the vast grassland, an official road stretches straight into the distance, and the pipeline is filled with sand and dust, and hundreds of horses rush by.
"Hurry up, pass through the black pine forest in front of you, and strive to reach King Kong Wheel Mountain before sunset!" the man at the head shook off the whip and said loudly. I saw that he was dressed in red and red hat, and his body was burly, and he was the Dharma Protector of the Great Wheel Temple who went and returned, Lingzhi.
Behind him, three hundred horsemen followed closely in an arrow formation, and the knights were all in black armor and black armor, which were the elite guards of Tubo Zampu.
It turned out that Lingzhi returned from Vajra Wheel Mountain, but did not return to the Great Wheel Temple, but went directly to the city to find the eldest prince for help. Previously, he cooperated with the eldest prince and planned the kidnapping of Gu Mozhi together, the eldest prince was the flame knife, and he was the treasure map of Xiao Langhuan, although the result was not satisfactory, but it was also a mess.
This time, in order to let the eldest prince send troops to help, he even moved out the reason that "Murong Xiaoxiao, the envoy of the Murong family, was trapped", and promised to fully support the eldest prince to ascend to the throne afterwards, which can be regarded as a complete betrayal of himself.
And the eldest prince Zongzan was deceived by Yuan Xiaoguan at the beginning, and Gu Mozhi fled, causing him to almost be defeated. Fortunately, Murong Xiaoxiao appeared in time to make suggestions, and it took a thunderous trick to stabilize the situation. First, he still needs to rely on Murong Xiaoxiao for advice; second, Murong Xiaoxiao came to help him this time, if something happens, it will be difficult to explain in front of Murong Fu; third, King Lingzhi has a very high status in Dalun Temple, and there are many benefits to his help. This is a three-pronged thing, even if the eldest prince's IQ is low, he will agree. So it was immediately decided to dispatch 300 elite guards for spiritual intelligence.
These 300 guards are not ordinary soldiers, but they are Zampu's personal guards, elite dead soldiers trained since childhood, with strong martial arts and well-equipped. Whether it is a battlefield rush or hand-to-hand combat, all of them are good at one as ten. Lingzhi got the help of these 300 guards, and he was suddenly full of confidence, and he wanted to be ashamed of the King Kong Wheel Mountain.
Qushui Pass is the largest pass in the east of the city and the largest unofficial trade distribution center outside the city. In order to avoid entering the city to pay taxes, merchants in the Central Plains transported goods here to trade, and the locals bought them at a lower price, and then transported them to the city through their own channels to sell the goods, making a difference in price. This kind of trade center is essentially a black market, and it is often raided by the local government, so most of the people who come here to trade are small traders and hawkers, and those big merchants never trade in such places.
It was already afternoon when Lingzhi led a team of 300 horses into the customs, the morning market had ended, and the merchants had eaten lunch and were carrying goods back in twos and threes. At this time, I suddenly saw a horse team dressed as officers and soldiers rushing into the pass, and the vendors thought that the government was sweeping again, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a while. The timid ones drop the goods and run, and the bold ones run with the goods.
Lingzhi held up the token of the eldest prince long before entering the customs and shouted: "On official business, idle people wait to retreat!" For a while, leather whips flew and steel knives were chopped indiscriminately, and those small traders suffered enough.
And these guards led by Lingzhi have also done some things to sweep up smugglers, and know that this is a good opportunity to get oil and water, although they are non-stop, but at the first opportunity, they use horsewhips to drive away merchants, roll up their belongings and put them on horses. These 300 people are all superb in equestrianism, and the whip rolls are very slippery, and the distance from the front to the back of the pass is only 200 meters, but almost all of them have gained. One of the guards even brought in a woman with a horsewhip, and after insulting her, she threw off her horse, and the woman fell to the ground in disheveled clothes, and fainted.
After the horse team, the entire Qushui Pass was filled with a miasma, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers was everywhere.
"Hmph! These officers and soldiers are really hateful!" The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and a weak woman in white came out of the grass hut next to her. There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and more than a dozen white-clothed swordsmen all followed.
The woman in white leaned over to see the woman who had fallen down the road after being humiliated. Seeing that she was unconscious, he stretched out his white jade-like fingers and gently rubbed the woman's acupoint, and after a while, the woman's eyelids twitched a few times, and she suddenly woke up.
The woman was a local peddler, and she had come out of the city to do some porcelain business, but she did not expect to encounter such a catastrophe. As soon as she woke up, she screamed, and despite her disheveled clothes, she rushed to her goods, and when she saw that most of the porcelain she had just bought on the cart she had loaded was broken, she sat on the ground and cried.
The woman in white saw that she was disheveled, half of her body was exposed, and many people around her were pointing and looking, so she reminded: "Girl, your clothes are ......."
"Get out!" the woman didn't pay attention to it, and while wailing, she grabbed the broken porcelain piece on the ground and threw it at the woman in white.
At this time, there was a sound of swords coming out of the sheath, and twelve white-clothed swordsmen drew their swords and surrounded them to protect the woman in white. At the same time, there was a soft sound of "whew", and a strong wind rose behind the woman in white, and the porcelain piece suddenly paused in the air, and then turned into powder and scattered in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Brother Tian!" the woman in white turned around in surprise, just in time to see a man in white walking quickly. This man is not very old, and his expression is honest, but his eyebrows are handsome, and his eyes are full of brilliance. He walked quickly, but there was no dust under his feet, and the dust in the air was expelled from his body. He walked quickly to the woman in white and asked with concern, "Ah Xiu, are you okay?
"It's nothing, alas, it's a miserable person. The woman in white sighed faintly, turned her head to look at the woman who was sitting on the ground crying, and quietly pulled "Brother Tian" to the side, blocking his view, "You were no one in a blink of an eye, what did you do?"
The man stretched out his hand to support the woman in white and pointed to the grass shed on the side of the road: "Ah Xiu, you are not feeling well, why did you come out, let's go in and talk about it." He turned his head to the group of white-clothed swordsmen and beckoned, "Everyone go in." ”
This hut is the only inn in the bazaar, and it is a bit inappropriate to call it an inn, but it is just a place for the locals to set up to sell some tea and snacks. There are three tables in the grass shed, and some people were originally drinking water and eating snacks, but at this time, because of the commotion outside, there was no one for a long time.
A group of people walked into the grass hut, and the white-clothed swordsmen spread out and stood guard, looking well-trained. The man called Brother Tian helped Ah Xiu sit at the table and poured a glass of water for her. Only then did he say: "Just now I saw that the sword that the leader was hanging immediately was very familiar, and it seemed to be our grandfather's 'cold mountain snow'......"
"What!" Before he could finish his words, Ah Xiu stood up in surprise, "Are you sure?"
It turned out that this man was Shi Potian, the descendant of Taixuan, and this woman was Ah Xiu, the granddaughter of Bai Zizi, the lord of Lingxiao City. A few months ago, Shi Potian and Ah Xiu got married in Lingxiao City, and Lingxiao City sent invitations, and for a time heroes and heroes from all walks of life gathered to congratulate. It's a pity that the owner and his wife of Xuansu Zhuang did not arrive for some reason, and later Shi Potian received a congratulatory gift and letter from Min Rou and his wife, inviting him to go to Jiangnan for a while. Shi Potian always had a special sense of closeness to Min Rou, and he had long regarded her as his mother in his heart, and it happened that he and Ah Xiu were newly married Yan'er, and it was boring to stay in the cold Lingxiao City, so he informed the elders and took his newlywed wife to Jiangnan for a walk.
Now they came back from Jiangnan, but they heard that the city lord and a group of elders and uncles had gone out for something and did not return for half a month, and then some disciples reported that the direction east of Luoqi City had found a distress signal from Lingxiao City. Ah Xiu is worried about the safety of her father and grandfather, so she will come out to find it herself. Shi Potian couldn't persuade him, so he could only take her and her newly acquired twelve apprentices all the way to the direction of Luoqi City.
Ah Xiu's body is soft, just after the long journey of the boat, and non-stop hurry, the body finally can't stand it, two days ago suffered some cold, has not healed. At this moment, when I heard that my grandfather's saber was on someone else, I had a bad premonition in my heart, and my face turned white.
Shi Potian hurriedly helped her sit down again: "I just didn't know how to catch up and take a look, I didn't expect them to have strong crossbows on them, I just shouted for them to stop, and before I got closer, I encountered a burst of random shooting, and I was worried about you, so I didn't continue to chase again." ”
"If it's really grandpa's 'cold mountain snow', then ......" Saying this, the woman in white was full of worry, and got up again and said, "Brother Tian, let's hurry up and take a look, the disciple reported that the fire meteor for help appeared in this area, I'm afraid ......"
Shi Potian patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to send you to settle down first, and you can leave the rest to me - May, June!"
"Disciple is here!" the two white-clothed swordsmen stepped forward and saluted.
"The two of you take your wife to settle down in the city of Luo and take care of your wife. Shi Potian instructed, "In July and August, you two will go and find out the news. The rest of me went with me to chase the horse team. ”
"Disciple understands!" the twelve replied respectfully in unison.
With Shi Potian's current martial arts, he is the first person in Lingxiao City. Therefore, Bai Zizi valued him very much, and put the 12 people with the best martial arts and the most potential under his name to become disciples, and began to pave the way for him to inherit the position of city lord in the future, and carefully taught him how to treat people and things on weekdays, so as to manage the entire Lingxiao City in the future. Now Shi Potian's demeanor and bearing have grown a lot, and he is no longer the stupid way he used to be. It's a pity that the Taixuan Divine Skill on his body is too weird, and he hasn't even figured it out himself, so he can't teach it to the outside world at all, otherwise with this Divine Skill in hand, the rise of Lingxiao City will be unstoppable.
Shi Potian hired a carriage nearby for Ah Xiu to travel, and then went his separate ways. Since Lingxiao City was located on the cliff of the snow-capped mountain, the sect was not good at riding horses, so he and his eight disciples carried out light skills and chased after the horse team on foot.
Shi Potian now has reached the point where his whole body martial arts have reached the point of doing whatever he wants, and it is really like a meteor passing through the sky to carry the "Sassy Meteor Step" in the Taixuan Divine Skill, and he rushed out of several hundred meters in an instant, leaving the eight disciples who followed him far behind.
However, Lingxiao City's light skill "Mei Xue Piaoxiang" is very distinctive, Mei Xue dances with the wind, stresses the word "floating", is good at borrowing strength and borrowing momentum, and uses it very physically saving. Therefore, although the eight disciples he brought with him were difficult to keep up with in a short time, they would not fall too far behind if they traveled for a long time.
Just when Shi Potian rushed out of Qushui Pass like a meteor, a group of people who were about to enter the pass happened to see it, so they were amazed by the side of the horse, this group of people were richly dressed, and there were maids and maids to follow, and it was a big family in the Central Plains at a glance.
Among them, the leader is a middle-aged man, wearing a beige Suzhou embroidered robe, with a golden hollow with flower trim exposed inside the robe, a jade belt around his waist, holding an ivory-handled folding fan, and riding a white horse with an unusual horse.
"I can't imagine that there is such a person in the bitter cold land of the Western Regions!" The man stared at Shi Potian's distant figure, and nodded lightly, as if he was very appreciative, but there was no expression on his face.
A handsome woman stepped forward and said, "Childe, look at this person's light skills, it's much stronger than that bat king!" She is wearing a crochet flower water green brocade robe, covered with narrow tulle, and the whole person is like a fairy of herbs from the painting.
The boy replied, "The light skill of the Blue Winged Bat King is coming and going silently. If you want to talk about the body method, you still have to count the Ling Bo microstep of the free school. But in terms of speed alone, this person can be counted as one of the best in the rivers and lakes - Abi, you and the others go to the city of Luo to settle down first, and tell the eldest prince that I will be there soon. I'll go meet this person first. ”
Ah Bi smiled faintly and said: "Childe has a heart of love for talent again, seeing that person should be followed by a disciple of Lingxiao City, why don't Childe let his subordinates go down to investigate and make a decision?" Or go directly to Lingxiao City to hand over the name post, so as not to run in vain." ”
The boy took a mask from his face and handed it to Ah Bi, smiled slightly, and a faint wrinkle appeared at the corner of his eye: "This person is unusual, martial arts are not under me, I must go in person, and I must see him with his true face to see sincerity." If you can get his help, don't say that it is worth running for nothing, and it is worth running ten times for nothing. After speaking, without waiting for Ah Bi to answer, he chased the horse in the direction of Shi Potian, and several of his subordinates followed him.
"Alas!" Ah Bi looked at the back of the son and sighed lightly, "In the past few years, you have traveled all over the mountains and rivers, worked hard, but you are wrinkled at a young age, Childe, is it really so important to restore the country or ......." ”
It turned out that this team of people was from the Gusu Murong family, and the son was the contemporary head of the Murong family, Murong Fu.
In front of Lingzhi and three hundred royal elite guards, there is Shi Potian, a supreme master who has the first miraculous feats in the past, and Murong Fu, the young master of the first family in Jiangnan, on the side. These people are all heading towards one destination - Xiao Langhuan.
