Chapter 11 The return journey is blocked
Xiao Ting cried for a long time, Huo Di stood up, and faced Sun Shaoyang's Ouyang Yu and knelt down.
"Ting'er, what are you doing here?" Ouyang Yu hurriedly reached out to pull Xiao Ting.
"Uncle Ouyang!" Xiao Ting said with tears in his eyes: "Please allow me to return to Cangzhou immediately." I'm going to bury my family with my own hands, and I'll go back and fight the thieves again. ”
"You get up first. Ouyang Yu dragged Xiao Ting and said, "Being filial piety, that's how it should be, how could I stop you?"
"Don't worry, big brother, I will go with Ting'er. Sun Shaoyang knew that Ouyang Yu didn't fully believe Xiao An's words, so he took over and said: "As a human teacher, I should go to Cangzhou with Ting'er, and I will be cautious on the road, and I will never be reckless and impulsive and be taken advantage of." ”
"With my brother going with me, I'm relieved. Ouyang Yu said and called Sima Long and Chai Shaoning and said, "Long'er, Shaoning, you two and Ting'er are married to Jinlan, and you should go to pay homage to your aunt." Pack up and set off with Ting'er. ”
Sima Long and Chai Shaoning agreed, and Xiao Ting was about to turn around, when he suddenly heard Xue Nianci speak: "Uncle Ouyang, please allow Nianci to go with you." ”
Ouyang Yu did not ignore Xue Nianci, he was bold, but not careless, seeing that Xue Nianci had other ideas, he deliberately wanted to keep Xue Nianci and give her a chance to reconsider. However, now that Xue Nianci took the initiative to petition, Ouyang Yu was not easy to stop, nodded and said, "Nianci go, you must protect your body on the way." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ouyang!" Xue Nianci finished speaking, and silently walked out behind the three brothers.
Sun Shaoyang nodded at Ouyang Yu, said no more, and strode out of the temple gate, Xiao An hurriedly followed.
Six people straddled horses and whipped their whips and marched to Cangzhou overnight.
When the sky was bright, Sun Shaoyang carefully observed Xue Nianci on the horse, and saw that she was running all night, but there was no fatigue in her expression, knowing that Xue Nianci's injury really didn't matter, so he urged the horse with all his strength to leave the realm of Daming Mansion before dark.
Although Sun Shaoyang has many acquaintances here, because the old nest of the Holy Sword Villa is located in the city, Sun Shaoyang does not want to alarm anyone, he just wants to go around the city quickly.
Judging from the methods used by the heavenly thieves along the way, even if Xiao Ting didn't do something impulsive, Lu Yushan would not let go of this opportunity to provoke, so staying in the realm of the Daimyo's Mansion was a very unwise choice.
When the last red cloud flashed in the west, the already dark sky was suddenly reflected again, and the autumn wind swept through, empty and lonely, highlighting the desolate daylight atmosphere of the ancient road.
Everyone rode through Qiaojia Town, which was located in the north of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the merchants on both sides of the town's avenue had already left with their burdens, and the shops were also closing, and some large families began to pick out lanterns, ready to meet the darkness that might come at any time, and no one paid attention to these six people who were hurrying.
The fields ahead were in sight, and when he arrived at the end of the town, Sun Shaoyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as you pass Qiaojia Town, it means bypassing the boundaries of the Daimyo Mansion and entering the vast plain on its east side, leaving all the troubles that may happen behind you for the time being.
"Where is Sun Daxia?" At this moment, a bell-like voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Listening to the sound of full energy, the snacks turned their heads in shock.
Amidst the shouts and cheers, a large number of figures rushed out of the town, and there seemed to be more than a hundred people, crowding the wide avenue that ran through the town in an instant.
In the front are two old men who straddle horses, the one on the left is wearing a brocade jacket with the word longevity, his hair is white, his round face is full of red light, and a pair of ring eyes protrude forward, giving people a feeling of being fierce and unpretentious;
Sun Shaoyang knows the person who came, the round-faced and mighty old man on the left is known as the golden knife Hongtai, a big knife hits all over the Hebei territory and has few opponents, and he is a battle-level figure in the martial arts world; Behind them were a group of martial arts people in and around the Daimyo's Mansion.
It is no accident that so many characters gather together.
Sun Shaoyang smiled bitterly and pulled the horse's head, and the galloping horse raised its hooves and let out a long neigh. By the time the horse's hooves "clicked" to the ground, the horse's head had fallen in a direction.
Sun Shaoyang clasped his fists on the horse and asked, "Old Man Hong, Old Man Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my demeanor is still the same." But I don't know why I came in a hurry?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, why did Sun Daxia pass through the door and not enter?" Qiao Zhenhai smiled: "Could it be that you have done something bad and are ashamed to see the old man?"
As soon as the other party met, his tone was not kind and aggressive, Sun Shaoyang galloped behind the crowd on horseback, greeted the local martial arts people who came closely, and explained: "The apprentice is newly bereaved, and he is eager to return to Cangzhou to bury his relatives, and he doesn't want to make trouble on the road. ”
"Newly bereaved?" Hong Tai was taken aback, looked at Xiao Ting behind Sun Shaoyang and said, "Ting'er, what happened to your family?"
"Grandpa Hong, I-" Xiao Ting's words were not spoken, and tears had already flowed down first.
"Fake!" Someone behind Qiao Zhenhai suddenly shouted: "The surname is Xiao, your family is bereavement? What should the Xinli Zhenyu family say? Who will mourn for them?"
"Brother Liu, who did you listen to this?" Sun Shaoyang glanced at the person who spoke, and recognized it as Qiao Zhenhai's apprentice, named Liu Yongtai.
"Is there anything wrong with the apprentice's words?" Qiao Zhenhai didn't seem to want to be perfunctory with Sun Shaoyang from the beginning, and stood in front of the apprentice to question Sun Shaoyang.
Sun Shaoyang endured a breath of anger and asked rhetorically: "Xinli Town is here, and it will take a day to get a fast horse, and what happened last night has reached the ears of the disciples today!
"Listening to Sun Daxia's tone, the Yu family's bloody case is really true. Qiao Zhenhai didn't answer and asked, "Don't you think Sun Daxia should explain it to everyone?"
As soon as Qiao Zhenhai said this, many local martial arts people who were preconceived behind him suddenly became commotionous and questioned one after another.
Sun Shaoyang did not hide it, truthfully recounted what happened in Xinli Town, and said to everyone: "This incident is clearly a conspiracy, who will pass the news to you? Call him out to confront him face to face, and you will find out!"
"Sure enough, it's a conspiracy!" Liu Yongtai was dressed in black, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and on his fat face full of beards, a pair of eyes flashed with a gloomy light: "It is really a big conspiracy to plant the head of the Lu Alliance Master!"
There was a "boom", and the crowd was in a commotion. There are many people here who are actively coming forward in order to curry favor with the Holy Sword Villa, and after listening to Liu Yongtai's words, they immediately raised their swords one by one and scolded them.
Sun Shaoyang was ridiculed for lying on the ground, and he was immediately furious, and he sharply suppressed the surging scolding and asked Liu Yongtai: "Liu Yongtai, if you have something to say clearly, don't talk nonsense there!"
"Sun Daxia is so majestic!" Qiao Zhenhai didn't give an inch: "Yongtai didn't dare to talk to Sun Daxia face-to-face in front of me, thinking that poor man had been frightened, how could he dare to comprehend Sun Daxia's tiger power again?"
"What does Old Man Qiao mean by this?" Listening to Qiao Zhenhai advancing step by step, Sun Shaoyang couldn't bear it anymore and said: "There is neither any evidence nor physical evidence, why is Old Man Qiao talking here?"
Seeing that the momentum between the two sides suddenly became tense, Hong Tai hurriedly interjected and said, "The two of you each give a step." To be honest, I, Hongtai, don't believe that Sun Daxia is the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately. Hurried over, just to ask Sun Daxia to postpone his trip, follow the old man to the Daimyo's mansion and his party, and make things clear. I have already sent someone to inform the dog, as the chief catcher of the Daimyo Mansion, I believe that he will definitely be able to return Sun Daxia's innocence!"
"The surname Sun is upright and sitting, how can I return my innocence?" Sun Shaoyang has acted boldly all his life, when did he suffer from this kind of wretchedness? Old Man Hong's words seem reasonable, but are you sure that you have not been used to deal with Sun? I bet that if you go to the mansion, things will change! Ting'er is in a very easy mood to act aggressively, which is exactly why I want to avoid everyone. ”
Hong Tai was stunned. He also had a lot of doubts about this matter, but it was precisely because he was suspicious that when he received the news, he wanted to catch up with Sun Shaoyang and ask for an understanding, but he didn't even have time to meet the person from the Yu family who Qiao Zhenhai said. Now hearing Sun Shaoyang say this, Hong Tai suddenly asked himself vigilantly, will someone take advantage of his chivalrous heart that likes to fight injustices to set a trap that is not favorable to Sun Shaoyang?
Seeing that Hong Tai's eyes became hesitant, Qiao Zhenhai said: "Maybe the words of the Yu family need to be verified, but now what Sun Shaoyang said is also one-sided, and the only way is to invite the two sides to go to the mansion to confront each other." There is Ling Lang Hong Biao, is Brother Hong still afraid that he will wronged Sun Shaoyang?"
"Having said that!" Hong Tai pointed to Sun Shaoyang on the other side of the horse and asked Qiao Zhenhai: "On the one hand, there are old friends we are familiar with, and on the other hand, there are strangers who have never even met in person." Just because of the unfounded words of an unknown person, he shook his confidence in his friends, didn't Brother Qiao think it was a bit too ridiculous?"
Qiao Zhenhai said: "Brother Hong doesn't think it's ridiculous to protect relatives and friends?"
"That's not the case!" Hong Tai said with a look of alarm in his eyes, "I think we have unknowingly fallen into a strange atmosphere, and we have been artificially led into a dangerous situation, so that we are involuntarily forced forward by the development of the situation. In this situation, it is very easy to be induced to do things that make relatives painful and enemies happy. ”
"I don't think so. Qiao Zhenhai said stubbornly: "I'd rather start with a friend first, so that I can really return my innocence and peace of mind!"
