Chapter 19 The Murder of Liu Yunbing, the Thief of God, and the Hunt of the Wei Kingdom
"Gong loses her ......" Thief Sheng listened to Mao Yun's remarks, and it was indeed very reasonable to compare, but he was originally a temperament who was unwilling to convince people easily, so his eyes kept dripping a few times, and suddenly thought of a reason, so he immediately moved out and said: "The princess has Brother Jing as a companion, and the concubine doesn't know how happy she is, so she naturally doesn't feel tired, how boring is it like me and a few." The more he spoke, the more he gradually lowered his voice, as if he didn't want Jing Ke and Gong Rong, who were a foot away, to hear it, but he wanted them to understand, because he was originally a nosy person, and he would find a way to kick anything he found interesting.
Mao Yun saw that his words had no effect on the thief at all, so he had to sigh lightly, and gave up, and Xue Lun, Du Sanniang, Zhu Hai, Di Kun and others beside him also looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly.
Although the thief Sheng Fang had only lowered his voice more and more, Jing Ke and Gong Rong in front of him could naturally hear it clearly. Gong Rong was originally from the boudoir, and after listening to the intentional or unintentional words of the thief, a flush flashed from her face, but she was embarrassed to refute something, because coming out to refute at this time would only make the situation worse. However, she couldn't help but glance at Jing Ke with slanted eyes, wanting to see how Jing Ke's face would react at this time, but Jing Ke didn't seem to hear it at all, everything on her face was still like a spring breeze, and her eyes were staring, as if she was only thinking about getting to Wei Daliang quickly. Seeing that Jing Ke did not arouse his thoughts because of the joke of stealing Sheng, Gong Rong seemed a little lost in his heart, so he remained silent and continued to follow Jing Ke all the way. But how did she know that Jing Ke's heart had already stirred up waves, but after all, he was a prodigal son who was used to wandering the rivers and lakes, and he was extremely good at disguising his inner world.
Seeing that Jing Ke didn't react to his jokes, he also felt bored, so he didn't continue the topic, but after all, he was an idle person, so he slightly clamped the stirrups under the saddle with his feet, urged the horses to catch up with Jing Ke, and picked up the topic and asked: "Brother Juzi, why didn't Brother Gao go with us when he was sent to Wei this time?"
Jing Ke knew that Thief Sheng would ask him such a thing, even if Thief Sheng didn't ask, Zhu Hai, Mao Yun and others would inevitably mention this matter, because as early as when they lived in Sanjia, these gangs of people admired Gao Yuanli very much, and they were also deeply affectionate with Gao Yuanli, so this time they suddenly separated, and they would inevitably have such questions. So he explained to Thief Sheng according to the answer he had prepared: "Brother Thief Sheng has asked this, then Jing Ke told the truth, Brother Gao did not come with everyone, just because he was concerned that the Sword League had just been established, and there were many disciples in the Alliance, plus the Xiaoyaosan people, Hui Shi and others were only forced to join the Alliance, if we didn't leave him to stabilize the overall situation, I was afraid that as soon as our front foot came out of Yan Xu, the back foot Sword League would be in a mess." ”
"Oh, I see, Brother Gao is far-sighted, and I can't wait for a reckless man. Zhu Hai listened to Jing Ke's explanation on the side, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and sighed again and again.
And just when Zhu Hai's sigh was just confided, he suddenly saw that Jing Ke suddenly seemed to be pierced by a fixed needle, the expression on his face was contained by the word surprise, and his feet tightly strangled the saddle, and his hands came out together to pull the horse's bridle, and the horse seemed to be suppressed by a strong internal force, and suddenly restrained the movement of the horse's hooves, and turned into a sculpture with Jing Ke.
Zhu Hai was also caught off guard by Jing Ke's actions, and in a panic, he grabbed the jujube red horse who was still burying his head under his seat. The people behind him who were riding their horses together saw Zhu Hai, Jing Ke and others in front of them suddenly coming, so they also followed the situation and reined in the horses' hooves, and everyone stopped at this moment from the continuous advance.
The sun was like blood, and the wind still passed through everyone's ears, but everyone didn't know what was happening.
"What's wrong, Brother Juzi?" Zhu Hai finally couldn't help the surprise in his heart, leaned over and whispered in Jing Ke's ear. Although Zhu Hai was a rude person and had always spoken loudly, judging from Jing Ke's various reactions just now, he expected that something terrible must have happened, so he lowered his voice very low, so low that even the thieves three feet away around him couldn't hear his question about Jing Ke clearly.
"Listen, is there anyone singing around here?" Jing Ke carefully confirmed the sound that drifted by the wind just now before looking back at Zhu Hai and the others and asked.
That Zhu Hai, Mao Yun, Thief Sheng and the others originally thought that Jing Ke noticed the suspicious movement beside him, so his expression and behavior became so alert, but after a long time, Jing Ke actually asked such a sentence, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, so they all relaxed the tension just now, and listened carefully to the sound in the air with Jing Ke's question, but except for the barren weeds, stumps and the sound of the autumn wind outside Puyang City, there was no other movement, and there was no chanting at all.
But after a while, Gong Yirong tilted his ears sideways, closed his eyes and listened carefully, as if he had some experience, and said slowly in extremely soft words: "It seems that there is an old man who sings by hitting the horns of the cow and herding the cow." ”
"Well, Miss Rong and I get the same," Jing Ke listened to Gong Rong's answer, nodded in agreement as he spoke, and then said, "This old man sings with a melodious voice, straight through the ear veins from the sideburns through the skull to Baihui, the sound is endless, and it doesn't seem to be very human." ”
Jing Ke said thoughtfully, no longer hesitating under his feet, he only kicked the stirrup vigorously, driving the red-maned horse to gallop away in the direction from which the song came. Seeing that Juzi had already driven the horse forward, the thieves, Zhu Hai and others behind him immediately tightened their horses' heads, followed the back of Jing Ke flying away, and followed all the way.
Outside the wilderness on the outskirts of Puyang, the autumn season makes the millet here glow with a golden color, and the greenery is gradually replaced by earthy yellow, but the time has not yet come, so the yellow and green are mixed, which also makes this boundless wilderness show an extremely chaotic scene. At this time, it may not be a good season for cattle grazing, and the cows seem to have failed to fill their stomachs because they are only looking for some grass roots, so it is time for the remnants of the sun to go west, and there are still people grazing there.
And Jing Ke's previous words were a good guess, under the residual sun, the cowherd wore a broken straw hat on his head, and his hair and beard were not only white, but also very messy. His body was straddling the back of the cow, his legs swaying leisurely in mid-air, and from time to time he kicked the belly of the cow with the swing, looking very casual. And he is holding a shepherd whip in his hand, but the handle of the whip is made of rhinoceros bone, which looks particularly smooth and translucent. The strange thing is that he holds the whip, but does not whip the body of the ox, but swings the whip handle and keeps hitting the horns, but it is very rhythmic and does not mess up at all. It seemed that he was singing some tune, but no one could hear the tune, and could only hear what he was singing, and the lyrics were as follows:
Mighty white water, the fish of perch. You have come to call me, and I will live in peace?
Although the old man had an idle cloud and a wild crane's expression and tone, there seemed to be another deep meaning hidden in the lyrics. Jing Ke drove the horse to the horse, and saw that the old man's behavior was unusual, so he had to stand on the horse's back for a long time, not daring to disturb him. And the thieves, Zhu Hai and others behind him also came together at this moment, seeing Jing Ke standing on a horse, Fang wanted to step forward to ask for an understanding, but saw Jing Ke raise his right hand, signaling everyone to stop, don't disturb the old man.
"The guest came from the north and galloped to Daliang. The world talks about heroes, and disputes over seven state affairs. The old man seemed to notice the group of knights who had suddenly appeared around him, so he stopped chanting and deliberately raised his voice.
When Jing Ke heard the old man's words, he was taken aback, because he and the old man had never lived in life, but the old man was like a god as expected, and in just two sentences, he broke his intention to go to Daliang this time. Jing Ke has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he encountered this adventure, the experience of the rivers and lakes told him that the old man must not be underestimated, which may help him this time, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, holding the horse whip in his hand to learn the sour appearance of a literati and a gentleman, and clasped his fist at the old man and said: "In Xia Jing Ke, passing by here, I accidentally disturbed the old man." ”
The old man didn't want to look back at him, but continued to say to himself: "Thousands of miles away, Wei is the enemy of Qin. ”
The old man's words made Jing Ke secretly surprised again!
The old man not only knew that Jing Ke and the others were going to Wei Daliang to act, but also knew their intention to come this time, if this was not a divine calculation, how could it be done like this?!
So Jing Ke immediately leaned over again and said: "The old man is like a god, he must be a master outside the world, and he hopes that his predecessors will give him some advice." ”
However, Jing Ke's polite words were like mud cows entering the sea, which had no effect on the old man, and the old man still slowly drove the old buffalo under his seat to slowly walk towards the deep mountains, leaving only one sentence in his mouth: "Who is the master of the chaos? The Wei Dynasty is deep in the waves, and the little brother is careful. With that, he departed without looking back.
Jing Ke wanted to drive the horse to chase after him, but it could be seen that the old man didn't seem to want to pay more attention to himself, so he had to give up, and looked at the old man's distant back blankly, faintly dissipating in the sunset that was about to end.
"That old man is so rude, Brother Juzi humbled him several times, but he turned a blind eye to it, and didn't take Brother Juzi in his eyes at all, hmph, next time I let Grandpa Thief Sheng and I touch him, I will let him know how powerful my Mo family is!"
"Hehe, Brother Thief, you must know that one of the seven rules of my Mo family is not to bully the old and the weak, you are deliberately ruining my Mo family's style. Jing Ke looked back at Thief Sheng's extremely unhappy look, and kindly reminded him with the door rules.
"But he doesn't know what to do..."Thief Sheng seemed to want to defend himself, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Jing Ke again: "As a great son of the Mo family, if you can't stand this grievance, how can you be worthy of the great responsibility of the Mo family's great son? And even if you want to fight for Jing Ke, I'm only afraid that you are far from being the opponent of the old man." ”
"Why did Brother Juzi say this?!" As soon as Thief Sheng heard Jing Ke's words, his two angry eyes suddenly bulged out, and he said unconvinced, "Although I can't be regarded as a famous elite, then that Lao Sheng is already over the age of six, and it is still inconvenient to make a move, how can I resist me stealing one or two?"
Jing Ke just smiled and shook his head, pointing at the thief Sheng and laughing and said: "Brother Thief Sheng must not have looked carefully, the old man just held the whip in one hand and sang to hit the horns of the ox, and the song spread for ten miles, and his crotch legs swayed from side to side out of thin air, but he was able to sit on the back of the cow safely, because the index finger of his other hand was against the spine of the cow's back, and he was suspended in the air with unfathomable internal force, so he was so steady." ”
"Oh, that old man has the ability to do this?" Thief Sheng listened to Jing Ke's words, and was a little suspicious, so he deliberately turned around and asked Mao Yun, Xue Lun and the others, "How many big brothers can see clearly?"
Mao Yun, Xue Lun and the others just followed Jing Ke all the way, and when they arrived here, they were already more than halfway through, where to see these clearly, they only said together: "I haven't seen it clearly." ”
As soon as Thief Sheng heard that Mao Yun, Xue Lun and the others didn't see it clearly, he suddenly had confidence, so he straightened his chest and looked back at Jing Ke and said: "Look, all the big brothers haven't seen it clearly, isn't it that Brother Juzi is afraid that I will make trouble and ruin the Mo family's tomorrow, so he deliberately bluffed me?"
What Brother Jing said was not false at all, just now Rong'er saw the situation clearly, and expected that the old man must be a master of the world. Without waiting for Jing Ke to explain, Gong Rong helped first.
"Alas, I said Miss Rong, you are such a husband and wife, do you mean to help my Juzi brother?"
"Old thief, you are talking nonsense! Xue Lun saw that the thief was talking nonsense again, but he was afraid that it would make Jing Ke and Gong Rong's faces even more embarrassed, so he scolded the thief back with a reprimand.
"Okay, it's not early, if you can't get to Daliang before this nightfall, I'm afraid that another meal and sleeping in the open will make everyone tired, so you seniors should follow Jing Ke and hurry up and rush to Daliang as soon as possible." Jing Ke didn't have time to care about them arguing with each other, so he immediately changed the topic in a word, raised the horsewhip in his hand, whipped it fiercely on the horse's back, and then galloped away in the direction of Wei Daliang without looking back.
And the rest of the people, naturally, couldn't fall down, and they all put aside the gossip in front of them, each threw their whips, followed Jing Ke, and jumped away with him. It's just that they may not know that although Jing Ke is so eager to rush to Daliang at this moment, he has long been uncertain in his heart, because while he is rushing to Daliang, the old man's words are constantly lingering in his ears, making him feel that this trip to join the Wei Kingdom is not as simple as he imagined
