Chapter 6: Horse Thieves
The clear waves are rippling, the clear water is long, there is an oval pool hidden in the depths of the dense forest, the pool water is very shallow but the meter is crystal clear, Zheng Dong's sturdy body is backed by a piece of bluestone, his legs are straight, and his body is soaked in the pool water, the washed cloak and waist knife are placed on the bluestone behind him, and the reborn horse stays quietly in the woodland a hundred meters away, leisurely gnawing on the grass.
Zheng Dong, who was closing his eyes and enjoying the spring water soaking, frowned slightly and then soothed, a mocking smile appeared on his face, behind his back, there was a figure sneakily marching, slowly sneaking to the side of the horse, for the soft burden of gold and silver next to his feet, he didn't even look at it, stared straight at the horse, obviously couldn't figure out how to control the horse without a saddle and bridle.
The horse continued to gnaw on the grass, ignoring the little man who was looking at it closely, and the sneaky figure turned his head to look at the waterhole, and the owner of the horse was still bathing, and did not seem to notice himself at all, so he gritted his teeth, jumped on the horse's back, leaned down to wrap the horse's neck, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and shouted "drive" in his mouth, which made her extremely embarrassed that the horse was indifferent to her riding on the back, and still bowed his head and ate the grass.
"Drive, drive...... , damn stupid horse, run for me. The figure on the horse urged several times in a row, seeing that the horse had not moved, and finally smashed a fist on the horse's buttocks.
Under the pain, the body of the horse suddenly shot out like a crossbow arrow, the strong wind on the face made the people on the horse not even open their eyes, in the blink of an eye out of the horse of 100 meters, suddenly a sudden stop, limbs firmly nailed to the edge of the pool, the figure on the horseback under a force, thrown out from the horse's back, directly smashed into the pool, the shallow pool water could not offset the impact, she herself smashed into the soft mud and sand at the bottom of the tank.
Struggling to get up from the pool, spitting out the mud and sand in her mouth while plucking the aquatic plants on her head, she suddenly appeared less than ten meters away, and the young owner of the stupid horse was looking at her with his back against the bluestone with a playful gaze.
"What do you see, it's just a broken horse, it's rare to be a son, if it's not for an urgent matter that requires leg strength, I don't want to give it away for nothing. Despite the heat on his cheeks, the other party still forced himself to put on an arrogant look.
"Well, as a son, you can be regarded as broad-minded and rich. Zheng Dong deliberately added an accent when he said Childe, and at the same time stared at the other party's chest.
Zheng Dong's gaze reminded the horse thief of something, and he immediately looked down, only to see that the men's silk dress she was wearing to hide her identity had been soaked in water and had been translucent and close to her, revealing her crisp breasts wrapped in a light pink silk.
The dye that was applied to the surface of the skin to make the skin look dark and rough also fell between the erosion of the pool and the friction of the sediment, and the silver hoop used to bundle it was also touched when it fell into the water, and the black long droplets of water were draped over her shoulders, and the fool knew that she was a girl, but it was ridiculous that she had not yet realized and tried to hide it.
The woman's left hand was horizontally blocked her chest, her right hand was wiped on her waist, and she suddenly pulled out a soft sword, pointed at Zheng Dong and said angrily: "Damn whore, look there, quickly turn your head, believe it or not, Miss Ben gouged out your eyes." ”
"The law of Great Xia, public theft is theft, mules, horses, alpacas, stealing a horse, eighty rods, and being a slave to the owner for three years; Zheng Dong looked at each other calmly and said lightly.
This horse thief dressed as a man is very beautiful, even the popular pink head of Xinghualou in Sangzi County is not as good as her Peugeot, and even the frowning and angry look looks so delicate, as a county government leader, Zheng Dong usually goes to drink flower wine with his subordinates, and it is even more common to touch and kiss with prostitute fans, but he did not take the last step, not because he was unwilling, but he stubbornly believed that he must be with a woman he really likes for the first time.
This woman in the water, or the girl, is more appropriate, because she looks two or three years younger than him, and she knows a little kung fu, but it is still worse than before she practiced the exercises, not to mention that she is now a qi practitioner, and the road is lonely, ** little lady, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
"Are you from the public family?" the girl asked with some hesitation looking at Zheng Dong.
"Yes and what, no and what?" Zheng Dong put his hands behind his head, stretched his body, and said with some indifference.
The girl's eyes wandered away from Zheng Dong for a moment, and suddenly Zheng Dong's waist knife on the stone behind her appeared, and her eyes suddenly lit up and she said: "The waist knife behind you is obviously the standard equipment of the public gate, you are a person in the public gate, I order you now, immediately escort me to the Jade Spirit Dao City, there must be no mistake!"
"You have a sick brain, the master is not related to you, why did he run thousands of miles to send you to the Dao City of the East Straight Road. Zheng Dong looked at the other party directly with an idiot and said.
"Do you know what this is?" As the girl spoke, she reached out and took out a dark iron token from her waist and shook it towards Zheng Dong a few times.
With Zheng Dong**'s eyesight, he clearly saw that there was a cloud pattern in the middle of the flat and lower tips on the token, and there was a patrol word engraved on the front, and there seemed to be light flowing between the strokes, and an iron character was engraved on the back.
After seeing the token clearly, Zheng Dong changed color, and suddenly stood up from the pool, his face was no longer as relaxed as before, and he muttered in his mouth: "Survey the sky, Xuan Tiewei!"
Just a few days ago, the two Xuantie guards who came to Qingshi Town showed such a token to County Lieutenant Zhao, it can be said that the reason why he escaped from the county overnight was that Zheng Dong hid from the Sky Survey, afraid that the other party would force him to ask for his secret, but he didn't expect that the more he feared, the more he would encounter.
"I know that the people in the public gate of Xuan Tiewei are at least the first level of the general arrest of the Fucheng, seeing that you are not yet twenty years old, how can you not look like it, no matter, since you know the token, it will be easy to do, send me to the Jade Spirit Dao City, it is indispensable to your credit." The girl said as she walked towards Zheng Dong, reaching out to take the cloak he had hung on the bluestone behind her.
The tips of her fingers just reached the cloak, but her wrist was grabbed by Zheng Dong, and a stream of true qi flowed through her whole body along her wrist, the girl's body was completely fixed, and the soft sword in her right hand was also seized by Zheng Dong, and he waved his hand to put the blade close to her face.
"If you want to become a Xuan Tiewei, at least one of the requirements must be a qi practitioner, your skills are not even second-rate, let alone Xuan Tiewei, you are not qualified to be the head of the county government, to be honest, who are you, where did this token come from, dare to say half a nonsense, I will cut your little face first, then strip your clothes, and hang you upside down on the tree next to the official road. Zheng Dong narrowed his eyes and said with a sinister tone, he has been dealing with Jiangyang thieves all year round, and it is not a problem to shock a little girl.
"Don't, I say, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you...... Will you please take the sword away?" said the girl, whose face turned pale and panicked, for there was nothing more frightening to a beautiful girl than disfigurement and intemperation.
"Okay, let's talk about who you are, how you got this Xuantie Order, and why did you steal my horse? If I let you hide half of your sentence now, you know the consequences!" Zheng Dong let go of the girl after saying this, jumped around, sat on the bluestone behind him, and looked at the girl condescendingly, as the fire attribute true qi slowly moved, a mist of water evaporated from outside his body, and in the blink of an eye, the clothes on his body were all dry.
Originally, Zheng Dong let go of herself, and the girl still wanted to find a chance to escape, but when she saw the steaming mist on Zheng Dong's body, she immediately exclaimed: "Are you a qi practitioner?"
The girl's name is Zhao Yuwei, her family lives in Qingyun County, Yanzhou Prefecture, and her parents died of a plague when she was still an infancy, and she was brought up by her adoptive father, who was raised by her adoptive father, Zhao Xupei, who was a peripheral member of Xuantiewei, with inferior spiritual roots, and barely became a qi practitioner at the age of fifty.
A week ago, a bronze guard of the Surveyor suddenly found her adoptive father and ordered her adoptive father to lead the way into Qishan, and after three days, on a stormy night, her adoptive father returned home covered in blood.
Her adoptive father's right arm was broken off at the shoulder, and he struggled to hand Zhao Yuwei a piece of jade slip and a Xuantiewei token, and asked her to go to Daocheng to hand it over to the silver envoy, and told the silver envoy that the three bronze guards and eighteen iron guards in Yanzhou Mansion were all killed in battle, and her adoptive father also used the only high-grade escape talisman in the team because of his lowest cultivation and not being valued by the enemy.
As soon as she explained here, someone broke in, her adoptive father used the forbidden method to overdraft his life to desperately entangle the enemy, covering Zhao Yuwei's escape, she disguised herself all the way and hidden, and escaped hundreds of miles in three days, but from this morning, she had a burst of heart palpitations, and seemed to have a feeling of being targeted, and when she was sneaking in the forest, she happened to see Zheng Dong's horse, and she felt more powerful, so she moved the idea of stealing the horse, and wanted to get rid of the pursuers.
"My lord, as long as you escort me to Jade Spirit Dao City, with this merit and your identity as a qi practitioner, I will definitely be included in the Xuantie Guard. Zhao Yuwei looked at Zheng Dong expectantly and prayed.
Zheng Dong was just about to say something, his ears suddenly moved, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said helplessly: "It's really damn unlucky, you can encounter this kind of terrible if you find a place to take a bath, and the two friends in the forest will show up." ”
"Seeing that the breath on your body is not very stable, it is obvious that it has not been long since you broke through to the Qi Practitioner, but I didn't expect that the five senses are very sensitive, and you can actually see through our whereabouts, which is really terrifying. A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, holding a folding fan in his hand and shaking while walking, his pace seemed to be steady and slow, but each step was more than ten meters away, and in an instant, he came to a bluestone opposite Zheng Dong, and he was far away.
Zheng Dong's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be blind to the middle-aged scribe who was close at hand, his eyes stared at the dense forest in the distance, where there seemed to be a peerless murderer, compared to the heavy pressure faintly coming from there, the middle-aged scribe in front of him was like a harmless cat.
