Chapter 55: Assassination

Qin Sujuan and the figure of "God-knowing beggar" have long disappeared, although their hearts are sour and sad, Cui Xiaohui and Miss Wan'er are not in pain, and they are not separated from life and death, they will have to meet again sooner or later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the two girls packed up their moods, returned to the Guan County Inn, and unexpectedly received a simple letter left by Bai Wenyu, knowing that he had already left this place, to pursue the found traces of revenge and other words and deep apologies, at this time, the two women felt extremely lost and sad, they also understood why Bai Wenyu did not leave a place to meet, he did not want the three women to be in danger and encounter accidents.

After a night of fighting and fighting, although the two were tired, they still washed hastily, ate some breakfast, checked out the store, took Qin Sujuan's mount, and went all the way to the north, trying to chase Qin Sujuan and them, and inquiring about Bai Wenyu's whereabouts by the way.

Non-stop, dusty, at noon, came to the Mianzhou capital, rested for a while, had lunch, and then hurried, an hour and a half later, actually saw the towering city wall of Jianmen Pass. The two girls were excited for a while, they had already heard about the name of Jianmen Pass, and they happened to go on a tour.

It's a pity that their good mood was disturbed by one person, and a woman in red who was riding a horse in a panic came on, and because she frequently looked back, she didn't pay attention to the horse that was riding slowly in front of her.

"Ma Yanhong, you wicked girl, who will save you today?" The enemy saw each other, their eyes were extremely red, thinking about the time when he and Bai Wenyu were knocked off the cliff by this woman, and almost lost their lives, where could they still hold back the anger in their hearts, waved the horsewhip in their hands, and hit the head with a split.

"Half a day cloud" Ma Yanhong was thinking about herself, and finally avoided the entanglement of the "jade-faced showman" Wei Qingfeng, but she didn't think about it, and she was faced with a whip wind that broke through the air, and her heart was furious, arousing the arrogance and style of the eldest lady on weekdays, without thinking, she buried her head in dodging the whip that passed by, raised her hand, and shot a dark dart back with a "boom", and shouted unforgivingly: "When will my aunt have a grudge against you?

"You wicked girl who has no memory, this girl told you that four years ago, in the mountains outside Hanyin City, the little girl who fell down the cliff between you and Wei Qingfeng, the thief of Liuyun Castle, was me, and that boy was Bai Wenyu, the 'Heavenly Peerless Hero' who is now the world's mighty world, do you remember it now? Get off the horse, let's have a fair duel!" Cui Xiaohui lightly lay down on the horse, and the hidden weapon that shot suddenly missed, one jumped up, jumped off the horse, pulled out the Longquan sword, and pointed at the "Half Sky Cloud" Ma Yanhong shouted and challenged.

"Ah, what? That little boy is him?ah, 'Shuzhong met and acquainted, and the Shaanxi official road recklessly waved the whip', 'the Shaanxi official road recklessly whipped the whip', no wonder he ignored me, he was still blaming me for the reckless impulse of the year, resulting in the later like a strange road, like a strange road! I ......regret it so much! I regret it so much" "Bantianyun" Ma Yanhong only understood the meaning of Bai Wenyu's chanting poem in the morning at this moment, if it weren't for the reminder of the woman in front of her, I'm afraid that I wouldn't understand the reason why the person ignored him until he died? It can be inferred from this that this woman has a great relationship with that person, and perhaps it is her own life and death blush! Thinking of this, a deep emotion of frustration and frustration arose in her heart for no reason, and her mind was full of the dashing and elegant figure of the person when he left, as well as the heroic and unrestrained poems, which made her heart feel like numbness, where did she still have the heart to fight with others? She had words in her mouth, her eyes were blank, and she seemed to be lost in despair and turned around and slapped her horse and galloped away, making Cui Xiaohui and Wan'er girl inexplicable and stunned on the spot.

"Bantianyun" Ma Yanhong and Cui Xiaohui have no life-and-death enmity, the two of them must have pushed stones first and stoned to death other people's subordinates, so Cui Xiaohui saw her leaving, so she didn't stop her, just glanced at Miss Wan'er, and intuitively felt that something happened between him and Bai Wenyu? Of course, they wouldn't suspect that it was emotional, they believed that the kid wouldn't do anything sorry for them!

"Sister Hui, who is she?" asked Miss Wan'er curiously.

"Oh, she is the only daughter of Ma Gutong, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, a few years ago, she almost killed me and Wen Yu......" Cui Xiaohui roughly said the grievances with Ma Yanhong back then, and her tone was flat, only when she mentioned the "jade-faced Xiushi" Wei Qingfeng, she was full of hatred and anger.

"I see, but, 'Shuzhong meets and reads acquaintances, and Shaanxi officials whip recklessly', did she meet Brother Yu today? Her situation is a little wrong!"

"Sister Wan, don't think about it so much, Sister Juan once told me that when they went to Emei, they crossed paths with her, and we also fought each other. Cui Xiaohui explained disappreciatively.

"Okay, Sister Hui, what should we do now?" Miss Wan'er put down her mind and asked, and then immediately looked around, and finally a pair of big eyes were frozen in the strong, dangerous, strange, and Jun sword door closed, and a seductive red lip that wanted to kiss was opened, revealing white jade teeth, and its coquettish demeanor was soft and innocent and lovely, just like a green silk blown by the wind, like a silky wicker on the embankment in spring, reflecting the hearts of everyone who passed by and walked by.

Although Miss Wan'er has lived near Emei in Shuzhong for many years, what she saw was the "Xiujia World" of Mount Emei, but what she saw at this moment was the "magnificent and Cui Wei" in Shuzhong and the momentum of a husband who could not open it, how could she not see it and be shocked in her heart?

"Silly girl, what should you do, get off the horse and go!" Cui Xiaohui saw her disgusted appearance, and felt a wave of pity fill her heart.

After a difficult trek, it took a lot of time to get out of the Sword Pavilion Road. Finally, when it was dark, the two girls arrived outside the city of Guangyuanzhou, and it was exactly a tea time when Bai Wenyu rushed out of the city gate and headed north. The gates were closed again and again, and the guards were super heavy, as if some big man was staying in the city. Therefore, the two girls had to stay in a small inn outside the city gate.

It was during the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty, and it had been thirteen years since the "Civil Engineering Change", and it had been almost six years since the "Door Seizure Change". At that time, Emperor Jingtai had no successors and no heirs, and once he died, the imperial power would naturally return to the line of Yingzong, who had been taken away by Wara and lost the throne. It's a pity that there are those ambitious elements and people who are frustrated in their political careers, taking advantage of Emperor Jingtai's sudden violence to launch an undeserved struggle for the throne, which is meaningless. As a result, the reinstated emperor, intentionally or unintentionally, connived at the revenge of the disciples and allowed them to retaliate and kill, and many pillars of the country were unjustly killed and destroyed the Great Wall. Later, eunuchs were appointed, political corruption was mediocre, the land annexation of the world was becoming more and more serious, the people were displaced, and the prosperity of Emperor Jingtai was made into a miasma, and the peasants revolted and resisted. From this point on, the Ming Dynasty will not be long in coming.

At the time of the second watch, the city gate of Guangyuanzhou was wide open, and all the intersections and main roads were full of officers and soldiers with torches, who were well-equipped, well-trained, and imposing, and were not at all comparable to the local officers and soldiers. They stood quietly and straight, letting the cold wind blow in the winter night, but fortunately the weather was good during this time, and there was no snow, otherwise it would have been a difficult day.

Naturally, Cui Xiaohui and Miss Wan'er were awakened, and they inquired about the shopkeeper, only to learn that this was a court army that came to Shuzhong to quell the rebellion in northern Sichuan. Something may have happened now, let's go out of Shu overnight and return to the court.

The shopkeeper also boasted gossiply that when it was dark, the officers and soldiers were about to enter the city as a team, and a white horse suddenly rushed out of it, riding a prince in white, and instantly stepped on a piece of sunset, took off and disappeared into the northern sky, which was where the northern Xuanwu lived. The sky is auspicious, my Daming country will usher in a good year when the wind and rain are smooth, the country is rich and the people are strong!

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Cui Xiaohui and Miss Wan'er carefully asked about their outfits and appearances, and immediately guessed what the prince in white was, and it was not the Bai Wenyu they were looking for. Knowing his message, the two girls were excited, but they couldn't leave the inn, just because the outside was tightly sealed, and no idle people were allowed to show up, otherwise they would be killed!

After a while, from the direction of the city gate, there was a sound of horses' hooves, the sound of wooden carts turning, and the sound of the collision of the weapons and armor of the officers and soldiers, mixed with the shouts of the heralds, overwhelming the earth, into the ears of the awakened people, who felt excited and a little frightened, for fear that a disaster would start a war around them, and the pond fish would be affected.

After the third watch, the city gate rattled and closed, and the outside of the inn suddenly fell silent, a kind of contrasting tranquility, which made people a little uncomfortable, and there was always a buzzing sound in their minds, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. The shopkeeper went out to check, but was surprised to hear a strange "whin" sound from the backyard stable, ran to take a look, and was shocked to see two big men in underwear, both tied to the horse stake, with their stinky socks stuffed in their mouths. The two of them were the officers and soldiers of the class returning to the dynasty, and they were suddenly knocked unconscious to end up like this, and one of them had a message on his body, which said that the girl left a horse to be disposed of by the store herself, acting as the store money Yunyun.

The ancients had a saying that nine deaths and one life enter the Sichuan Road, and this is indeed the case.

Qipanguan, located at the throat of the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, on the Qipanling, the terrain is dangerous, known as the first pass of the West Qin, it is an important hub connecting the north of the Qinling Mountains, North China, the Central Plains and the northwest, it is called the four famous passes in northern Sichuan with Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass. There is a poem that says: the slanted plank road is a wonder, the zigzag serpentine pedal seven plates; the guest looks at the cockscomb stone, and is suspicious of being in the green clouds.

Tonight is an uneven night, along the winding Qipan Mountain Road, the torch is bright like a giant snake moving forward, stretching for more than ten miles, and its head is about to approach the cockscomb stone on the top of the mountain.

Cockscomb stone, as the name suggests, its shape is like the high feather crown of the rooster, an ancient artificially excavated post road, interspersed from under the crown, the road is the cliff steep wall thousands, the valley is turbulent with rocks, the situation is dangerous, thrilling

At this time, the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion, who had taken the lead, converged with the local army guarding the ridge in peacetime, and jointly occupied this line of sky-like artery, vigilantly observed the surroundings, and then stood straight on both sides and solemnly waited for the safe passage of a group of Jinluan and Yuxiang vehicles. The mountain road was rugged, and a group of 500 men from 3,000 battalions led the horses in front, followed by eight incense carts, each with 40 people close to them with their bare hands, in case they slipped down the cliff and were ready to be rescued.

As we approached, the officers and men of the 3,000 battalion passed safely, then the first of the incense carts passed safely, the second passed safely, and the third was about to come out of the crown stone, but the accident still happened. In front of Guanshikou, there were twelve people from the local army on both sides of the sub-station with the Shenji Battalion who suddenly stabbed and killed the officers and soldiers beside them, four people quickly jumped and rushed to the incense car, the other four people attacked the unarmed officers and soldiers on both sides, and the remaining four fiercely killed the officers and soldiers in front of the pass.

"There are assassins!" For a while, the sound of shouts and screams echoed in the night sky, and the officers and soldiers marching behind immediately stopped, nervously watching the changes that were happening in front of them.

Zheng Shiqi, who is now the prime minister of the whole army, has been promoted to the rank of Guangwei general and captain of the cavalry, and just behind the attacked horse body, he has experienced a hundred battles, and quickly commanded the guards and the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion beside him to closely protect the people in the fourth car. He himself crossed his sword and watched closely the battle ahead.

"Boom-" With a bang, the third car was split apart by the fierce four assassins, and the sawdust splashed and flew, and two sword lights immediately rushed out from it, rolling towards the two opponents respectively, they were the black and white twin men who were honored by the martial arts as the "blue sky and double stars shining in the world".

With the loud noise, the unarmed officers and soldiers on both sides retreated in a little panic to dodge, and the four killers who were naturally rushed forward fell to the ground like chopping vegetables and melons, or fell off the cliff screaming.

Zheng Shiqi commanded the officers and men of the two teams of the Shenji Battalion, raised the firearms in his hands and aimed them at the four wolf-like killers who jumped and attacked. Unexpectedly, above the cockscomb stone, two masked people, one black and one white, suddenly fell, and when their bodies took advantage of a strong impact into the cliff, their hands loosened, and they flew to the roof of the fourth incense car just right, and at the same time flashed a dazzling cold light.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zheng Shiqi didn't expect a killer from the sky, and he was shocked, if the two people in the car had an accident, I am afraid that he would not survive, and even the nine clans, and even the officers and soldiers of this team of escorts, would die without a place to be buried. With a loud shout, the dancing knife flew towards the man in black, and the white-clothed killer had to be intercepted by a deputy who knew a little about martial arts.

The deputy was not useless, but the martial arts of the person who came were beyond imagination, the cold light flashed, and there was a sharp roar, and the deputy who met the past didn't even scream, and was actually split into two pieces alive, which made people unbearable to witness. In the firelight, the masked killer with a snow-white body let out a series of piercing grins, standing proudly on the roof of the car, like Bai Impermanence who specializes in detaining ghosts, with a long sword in his hand, stabbing the ...... fiercely at a black shadow in the car.
