38. Trip to Liangshan (3)

When I got up the next day, I saw that Mu Qinglan was still unsmiling, cold and indifferent. After that, she hurried, played sharp, and stayed, and she didn't say a word, just like yesterday.

Qin Chuan felt strange in his heart, so he had to be more careful all the way, and he didn't dare to speak freely, lest he make the eldest lady unhappy. After walking for a few miles, he remembered that his father was saved, and he couldn't help but be happy on horseback, dancing with his hands and feet, his eyebrows fluttering, Mu Qinglan quietly listened to him talk about last night's incident, and said: "You saved the life of Doctor Hu, he will do his best to heal Uncle Qin, you don't have to worry too much in the future." She was wearing a cloak and a hood and veil, Qin Chuan couldn't see her expression, nor could he hear her tone, and he didn't know whether she was happy or worried.

On the other day, after passing Dongping, he entered the territory of Liangshan.

At dusk on this day, we have arrived at the head of the reed leaf beach, on the bank of the knotweed flower garden. The two men led their mounts and walked slowly side by side on the mountain road.

It was early spring, the weather was warm and cold, the water was filled with fresh moisture, the sky was sticky and withered, and the fog was heavy, and the weather was misty.

Qin Chuan looked around, but saw that the peaks of Liangshan were in the afterglow of the sunset, more and more solemn, thinking that Song Jiang, Wu Song and other Liangshan heroes were here to gather righteousness, kill corrupt officials, eliminate bullies, act chivalrous and righteous, and do the right thing for the sky, and the end was vigorous. Now that the scenery is still the same and the hero is gone, the desolation can't help but arise spontaneously.

The mountain road was rugged, and after walking for a while, it was quiet in all directions, and there was no one in the shadows.

He lowered his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, remembering the method of "thousands of miles of sound transmission" taught by the people in Lingyi. Although this kung fu is known as "thousands of miles of sound", naturally it can't really be heard for thousands of miles, but as long as there is no barrier such as mountains in the middle, people with advanced kung fu can send a few miles, he is alone at the top of Emei, and sometimes he is a question and answer with the person in the cloth, and it is really like a face-to-face conversation.

He was about to raise his breath and howl to test whether there were any martial arts people nearby. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Mu Qinglan standing under the slanting sun, silent, as if thinking, and couldn't help but feel a move in my heart: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of this method?

At that moment, his eyebrows were deeply locked, his face was full of sadness, and he sighed long, and said, "Sister Lan, I can't imagine that Liangshanbo is so desolate. I didn't even see half of a figure. Not to mention the beggars. It's useless to blame me, and you're running around like a fly with my headless!"

As he spoke, he looked up to the sky and sighed, with his hands behind his back, his shirt was in the wind, his face was really infinitely desolate and lonely, but his heart was secretly funny. It turned out that he had seen Wanyu troubled and depressed, and after many attempts of persuasion were ineffective, he had an idea and deliberately pretended. led her to enlighten and comfort herself in turn. At this moment, thinking of Mu Qinglan's unhappy days and days, her childlike heart suddenly rose, so she came to repeat her old tricks.

Sure enough, Mu Qinglan turned her head, and a pair of lacquer-like star eyes sparkled. Silently staring at him, after a few moments, she slowly pulled down her hood and removed the veil. Yanran smiled and said, "Brother Chuan, you are a good man in the rivers and lakes." This is where the heroes of Liangshan galloped back then, and I believe you will have a way to find the beggars!"

Qin Chuan saw that she had changed her indifferent appearance in recent days, she smiled lightly, her pink face suddenly fell like a pear blossom drifting snow, the crescent moon was clear, and she was unspeakable, she couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart, looking at her in a daze, speechless.

Mu Qinglan's cheeks turned red, and she said in a low voice: "What are you doing looking at me like this?" Qin Chuan calmed down and said sneeringly: "You...... You, today...... Why did you become happy?" Mu Qinglan said in a low voice: "I've always been like this, Brother Chuan, don't you want me to be happy?" Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "No." You've been cold for the past few days, like a block of ice, so it's not scary, I really don't know where I offended you?"

Mu Qinglan's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning and charming, and she chuckled: "Brother Chuan, in fact, I've been pretending to be all with a straight face these days!" Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Pretending, what is that for?" Mu Qinglan smiled lightly and said, "Sister Yu once told me that you, a big monkey, once you start messing around, you will forget everything. I'm afraid you'll delay your business!"

Qin Chuan said: "Since that's the case, then why are you telling me now?" Mu Qinglan lowered her head, stroked her clothes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chuan, I can't bear to see you so distressed!"

Qin Chuan remembered the mysterious appearance of Yi and Mu Ernu on the occasion of their separation outside Xuzhou City, and then suddenly said, "It turned out that Yumei taught you?" Suddenly, his ears were hot, and he secretly shouted: "Shame! Actually, Yumei is right, if I indulge in the private affairs of my children, it is indeed a mistake, and it is not as sober as her!"

Mu Qinglan saw that he bowed his head and was silent, his face was cloudy, and said softly: "What's the matter, are you angry?" Qin Chuan saw that her face was full of uneasiness, so she deliberately sank her face and stopped talking.

Mu Qinglan raised her delicate face and said, "It's all my idea, and it has nothing to do with Yumei." She just taught me how to help you concentrate on your work and watch out for the bad guys. Brother Chuan, if you are angry in your heart, you can annoy me!"

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "You are also for my good, how can I be angry? ”

Mu Qinglan stared at him with a pair of clear eyes, and said: "Brother Chuan, Sister Yu has discussed with me, and I will follow you in the future, whether you are a helper, a prodigal son, even if you are a robber and thief, in short, I will follow you." You just do what you like, and you don't have to worry about us! Are you still annoying me now?"

Qin Chuan didn't expect her to say these words, her throat choked, she lowered her head and said nothing, after a while, at a glance, she saw her standing on a horse, her thin waist was stretched, and the scarlet ribbon around her waist was slightly raised by the evening breeze, making her even more slender and delicate, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, it was difficult to suppress, and she stretched out her arms to wrap her slender waist. Mu Qinglan's body trembled, and with a snort, she reached out and hugged him, leaning on his arms.

The two hugged each other, hoping that this moment would be endless.

After a while, Qin Chuan suddenly smiled and said proudly: "Silly girl, how can I be annoyed with you?

Mu Qinglan gently broke free from his arms, stared into his eyes, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and said with a red face: "Then you say, it's not early, where should we go?"

Qin Chuan was about to say the method of using "thousands of miles to transmit sound", when he suddenly heard several long howls in the distance in front of him. The whistling sound was like the angry tide of Qiantang, wave after wave, the momentum was extraordinary, obviously from a person with extremely high internal strength.

Mu Qinglanhua's face was pale, hugged his waist again, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chuan, who could it be?"

Qin Chuan said in a low voice: "I'll take a look, there may be danger, you wait for me here!" Mu Qinglan hurriedly said: "No, the more dangerous it is, the more I have to go with you!"

After getting along these days, Qin Chuan knew that although this girl was gentle and demure, and Sven was docile, she was actually a person who was strong on the outside and on the inside, and she was very stubborn, and it was extremely difficult to persuade her, so he tied his mount to the left tree of the road, took her hand, started light body kung fu, and ran towards the whistling sound.

The sun sets in the west mountain, the twilight is getting thicker, the water is filled with mist, the shore is all withered yellow reed grass, people are running in the reeds, the eyes are blurred, can not distinguish which is the fog, which is the water, the peaks and mountains are like gathering, the vast is difficult to distinguish.

The two of them ran for miles, and the whistling in front of them had long since stopped. Qin Chuan stopped, looked around, and said in a low voice: "It's probably nearby, let's be careful!" Mu Qinglan said: "Well, you don't care about me, be careful yourself!"

The two of them stood on their own blades and tiptoed through the reeds.

A cold wind blew, the reeds rattled, and suddenly a few sneering sounds were heard, and a few stars flashed coldly, and a series of hidden weapons shot towards Qin and Mu.

Mu Qinglan screamed, swept in front of Qin Chuan, waved the meniscus knife with both hands, only heard a few jingling sounds, and had shot down all the hidden weapons.

Qin Chuan had seen Mu Qinglan's graceful body technique of using two knives to shoot down hidden weapons in the Xinglin Valley, and since then, he has been instructed and taught by his father, and he has become more and more eye-catching, quick-witted, delicate and agile. He admired it in his heart and couldn't help but applaud loudly.

Mu Qinglan was praised by her lover, her spirit was lifted, her body turned drippingly, the knife flashed, there was a miserable cry in the reeds, and a person turned out and fell to the ground. Another figure rushed out, as if he was afraid of Mu Qinglan's scimitar, and rushed towards Qin Chuan, and with a swipe of the ring knife in his hand, he slashed his face.

Qin Chuan laughed, did not avoid or block, and waited until the blade reached the door less than an inch, suddenly his body was short, his right foot flew up, and there was a bang, the man had not yet understood what was going on, he had already been kicked on his back and flew out of the three zhang away, plopped, and even fell into the water with a knife.

Qin Chuan's foot is a move in the family legend "Wind Falling Leaves Legs", "Hidden Flowers at the Bottom of the Leaves", which is a direct kick from the bottom up, fast and silent, even if the opponent's martial arts are high, it is bound to force him out of the zhang at once. The martial arts of the person who made the sword were not weak, and he was lying here in the twilight, just to launch a hidden weapon to sneak attack the enemy.

Qin Chuan saw the person who fell to the ground and died, dressed in black, with a reddish-brown phalaenopsis embroidered on the outside of his left arm, which was the outfit of the "Heavenly Dao Alliance".

Mu Qinglan waved her knife to inspect the reeds and found several corpses, all dressed as fisherheads. Qin Chuan took a closer look, and all of them were shot to death by hidden weapons, and he couldn't help but rush up angrily, annoying the man in black for being vicious. Mu Qinglan's face turned pale, and she cried in a low voice: "Brother Chuan, my father is getting more and more excessive! He once promised me not to kill innocents indiscriminately, it turned out that they were all lying to me......" Qin Chuan held her hands, only to feel that her palms were cold.

The two of them walked forward for half a mile, and just turned a corner, when a sudden white light flashed in front of them, and someone cast a hidden weapon. Mu Qinglan flew forward, the sword flashed, and in an instant, there were two more people.

I saw several more corpses in the reeds, several of them dressed as beggars, two peasant woodcutters, and even more outrageous was the corpse of a village woman, naked, apparently raped and then killed.

Qin Chuan had already seen that the people in ambush were all subordinates of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, guarding at various intersections and plotting sneak attacks, seeing that Mu Qinglan was merciless, and did not think of her father, knowing that she hated Mu Changfeng very much, she admired and felt sorry for her in her heart.

After seven or eight intersections like this, Qin Chuan was afraid that Mu Qinglan would be more distressed, so he blocked in front of her, and took the lead in dealing with the sneak attackers, thinking: "The Heavenly Dao Alliance has always been secretive, and all gangs and factions can't find it, so I can't imagine that I will bump into it tonight." The further the two of them went, the more dead bodies they saw, and the road ahead must be dangerous. (To be continued......)
