Chapter 51: Jiangnan
The wind is sharper, and the rain is more urgent.
In the middle of the forest road ahead, the milky white fog was blown by the wind and quickly dissipated like light smoke.
Then the fifth small building saw a man walking slowly from the thick fog, from the heavy rain, from the other end of the road.
An old man with a slightly rickety figure, dressed in a black and white robe, draped in a robe, and wearing a bamboo hat.
There are also two swords on his back.
His robes had long been wet and stained with muddy water, his leggings and cloth shoes had long been indistinguishable from their original colors, and his eyes were full of yellow mud, but the two swords were clean as if they had just been carefully wiped with a good cotton cloth.
One sword is pitch black with a pitch black scabbard and a pitch black hilt, while the other is pure white with a pure white scabbard and a pure white hilt.
The raindrops fell on the sword and immediately slid down the scabbard, leaving not even a trace.
He stopped, stood, and looked.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "Uncle Zhou, I'll avenge you!"
This person is of course Xiao Li, he has tears in his eyes, he is staring at the fallen corpse of Zhou Bo, and suddenly untied a chain from his waist and shook the gun, when he shouted, the person also bowed down and jumped out, three or two steps to the Taoist priest, the chain gun in his hand was picked, and the poisonous snake stabbed at the Taoist priest like a tongue.
The six coachmen of the other three carriages had all turned over and got out of the car, drew their weapons and formed a circle, staring at the woods on both sides with a vigilant face, seeing Xiao Li rushing out with his head bored, he wanted to stop it, but he had no choice but to rush too fast.
The Taoist priest didn't move, he didn't seem to hear anything, he didn't see anything, his eyes were staring directly at the sword of the fifth small building, and he didn't even roll his eyes.
Xiao Li's arm was extended, and the spear was trembling straight, and before he could get within three feet of the Taoist priest, the person suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, and only a moment later he vomited blood and died.
The Taoist priest was still staring, without blinking his eyelids.
The pupils of the fifth Xiaolou were gradually contracting, and although the heavy rain blurred her vision, she could still clearly see that Xiao Li was sticking a silver needle around her neck, and then looked at Zhou Bo, and the same was true of his already black neck.
She was sure that it was not the ruthless hand of the Taoist priest in front of her, because she didn't see the Taoist priest move at all, as if it was a big tree planted in the middle of the road, only the robes were blown by the wind like branches.
At this time, she suddenly heard someone shouting behind her: "Hide in the carriage!"
The shouting sounded very familiar, and even this anxious tone was so familiar, the fifth Xiaolou couldn't help but look back, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Yu Wenxia, but Zhou Xiaomeng actually followed him, and the two were sweeping towards the carriage side by side.
How could they all be at the same time?
The fifth small building didn't have time to think about it at all, because in just a dozen breaths, four more people among the coachmen fell down one after another, all of them were silver needles, and they were all foaming at the mouth.
It's just that none of these silver needles shot at the fifth small building standing on the roof of the car and Yu Wenxia and Zhou Xiaomeng flying between the carriages.
The Assassins seemed to have expected that the three of them would definitely dodge the Silver Needle, so there was no need to waste their true strength.
"Let's go!"
In Zhou Xiaomeng's shouting, her people had already gotten into the carriage, and the fifth small building was also pulled into the carriage by Yuwenxia, and the remaining two coachmen who were still alive immediately turned over and jumped up to the parking space, and the reins in their hands were thrown hard, and the healthy horse neighed and stood up half-up, and then galloped out.
The assassin in the forest still did not appear, and the silver needle did not shoot again, as if he was about to watch them leave, as if he was driving them away.
Zhou Xiaodie was wrapped in a quilt and shrunk in the corner, and when she saw Zhou Xiaomeng coming in, she immediately threw herself into her sister's arms and sobbed, "Sister, what's wrong?"
After all, she is just a little girl, and it is inevitable that she will panic when she encounters this kind of thing.
Zhou Xiaomeng put his arm around her, patted her shoulder with the other, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, we'll go home right now, and everything will be fine when we get home." ”
Zhou Xiaodie's throat seemed to be choked, but she just lay in Zhou Xiaomeng's arms and sobbed quietly, no longer speaking.
The fifth Xiaolou couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Who are they?"
The Assassins had never even shown up, so how could they have known their identities with just a few silver needles.
Zhou Xiaomeng obviously didn't know who those people were, and she didn't know what she should say for a while, she groaned for a long time, and finally shook her head and sighed, "I don't know either." ”
The fifth Xiaolou looked at Yu Wenxia again, hoping that this eagle in the Divine Hunting Mansion would be more knowledgeable.
Yuwen Xia said: "In short, they will not be good people, since they dare not show up, they must be afraid of our strength, we just go to Yongchun Valley, and they are not too bold to dare to stop the car head-on." ”
The fifth Xiaolou stared at him and said in surprise: "Even you can't see it?"
Yu Wenxia seemed to be deliberately avoiding her gaze, he stared at the curtains, and said lightly: "There are not a thousand but eight hundred people who make secret weapons on the rivers and lakes, not to mention that they come to assassinate this time, it is very likely that they will replace their usual blades to hide people's eyes." ”
Fifth Xiaolou resisted the urge to break his head, gritted his teeth and said, "What about that Taoist priest?"
Yuwen Xia had doubts in his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at her, and immediately turned over, and said, "Daoist, what Daoist?"
The Taoist priest was standing in front of the carriage, and they were swept from the back of the carriage, and the situation was extremely critical at that time, so they didn't see any inconspicuous old Taoist priest at all.
As soon as Yuwen Xia finished saying this, suddenly a taxi pushed the car door, as if answering him, bent down and walked in, then sat aside, and closed the car door very politely.
The carriage had gone far away.
The fifth Xiaolou took a few steps back, his left hand clenching his short sword, his eyes full of vigilance.
Yuwen Xia didn't pick up the knife, just a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and hugged his fists, and said, "It turned out to be you." ”
Yuwen Xia is the prince.
The children of the royal family are usually very noble and rarely use honorific titles, but when he saw this Taoist priest come in, he not only used honorific titles, but also stood up and clasped his fists and saluted.
There will never be many people who can make Yuwen Xia salute, and the fifth Xiaolou is very curious, who is this person?
Zhou Xiaomeng hugged Zhou Xiaodie, who was about to fall asleep, and when he saw this Taoist priest coming in, he actually got up slightly and bowed his head to salute, and said softly: "I've seen the Heavenly Master." ”
In the entire carriage, it seemed that only the fifth small building did not know this Taoist priest, she stood there in a daze, looking at Zhou Xiaomeng on the left and Yu Wenxia on the right, looking a little embarrassed.
The old Taoist priest didn't speak, but sat upright, closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
The fifth Xiaolou said softly, "Who is this Taoist priest, and will it have anything to do with those assassins?"
Yu Wenxia glanced at her and said lightly: "Meng Tianshi is a Heavenly Master, how can he have anything to do with those assassins. ”
The fifth small building said: "Meng Tianshi?"
The Taoist priest suddenly said: "Poor Dao, Meng Jiangnan." ”
His eyes were still closed, and his mouth was not open, as if he had never said it.
Fifth Xiaolou looked at him, only to feel more curious about this Taoist priest, so the whole person came to Yu Wenxia's side, and for fear of being heard by the Taoist priest, he whispered: "Aren't you curious why he suddenly appeared here?"
Yu Wenxia lowered his head and stared at the knife in his hand, and said, "No matter where Meng Tianshi appears, he has his reasons, so why should we speculate in vain?"
The fifth Xiaolou said: "He appeared with those assassins, so you don't suspect that he has anything to do with those assassins?"
Yu Wenxia said lightly: "No one has ever doubted Master Meng Tianshi, even my father has never doubted him. ”
A person who even the emperor would not suspect, the fifth Xiaolou should not have doubted, but there were many points in front of her, and everyone else looked like they should be, how could she not be curious and not investigate?
Zhou Xiaomeng slowly fell asleep in the corner of the carriage with Zhou Xiaodie in his arms, Yu Wenxia kept looking at his knife, and looked like he was too lazy to say more to her, but his eyes were always looking at the fifth small building when he didn't notice him.
The fifth small building apparently didn't notice him now.
Her heart was now only full of curiosity about this Taoist priest, so she couldn't help but ask Meng Jiangnan directly, "Do you know who those assassins are?"
Meng Jiangnan didn't bother to open his eyes, and said, "Do I know, what's the matter with you?"
The fifth Xiaolou said: "If you don't make it clear, how do I know if you are an accomplice of the assassin?"
Meng Jiangnan said lightly: "Do you know, what does it matter to me?"
The fifth Xiaolou still didn't give up, and said, "Then why are you here?"
Meng Jiangnan's answer was very concise, and he just said lightly: "It's your business." ”
It's hard not to feel angry with this kind of attitude, and others don't dare to make a mistake because of his identity and strength, but this time he met the fifth Xiaolou, a person who didn't know his strength and didn't have any feelings about the identity of the Heavenly Master.
After saying these four words, the fifth Xiaolou was angry, only to see that she suddenly picked up the short sword in her hand and slapped it on Meng Jiangnan's head, although this sword is fast, the power is not big, she just wants to scare and scare Meng Jiangnan.
Meng Jiangnan didn't move.
The scabbard stopped an inch above his head, and the fifth Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth and withdrew the short sword, sitting on the seat next to him and sulking secretly.
To deal with such a person, it seems that there is no other way to deal with it except to slap him.
Yu Wenxia sighed and said, "Don't be angry, Meng Tianshi's character is like this." ”
Fifth Xiaolou said: "You know him very well?"
Yuwen Xia said: "There will never be anyone in this world who knows Meng Tianshi very well, and I have only seen him a few times in the palace. ”
The fifth small building said: "Oh?"
Yu Wenxia sighed again and said, "I'm afraid he came this time for the stargazing meeting of Wandie Mountain Villa, as for why he appeared with the assassin on the road, I don't know." ”
The fifth Xiaolou was stunned and said, "Stargazing?"
