Chapter 12 Chapter Ten Three Arrows

Although Ran Keqiu aspires to be the richest man in the world, he also wants to be a hero. When a man is alive, who has never wanted to be an invincible hero? He had fantasized about too many heroic deeds, but he had never imagined that there was such a kind of heroic heroism—plain as water. Sun Simiao has no bold words, no heroism, but only calmness and responsibility-a kind of responsibility to face the world's best masters calmly and face difficulties. Even the generals of the Qi State by the river showed admiration, and Murong Wanqing almost opened her mouth. Although the expression was invisible, there was meaning in her eyes.

Ran Keqiu caught a glimpse and felt that this woman was stubborn and might not want Sun Simiao to block the arrow for her, but after all she couldn't escape the desire for life, so she gave up her arrogance.Why is it not so? When I thought of this, I was somewhat ashamed, and Ran Jiqiu prayed secretly: "Bodhisattvas of the Ten Temples and Buddhas of the Nine Heavens, I never believed in you, but today I sincerely make a wish to you. If you really have spirits, today I will bless Mr. Sun to escape. The three arrows of Hulu Mingyue, if I really become the world's richest man in the future, I will donate 10% of my wealth to build temples and save the world."

Thinking about it made him blush again, thinking that Sun Simiao was betting his life for him, he seemed a bit stingy, gritted his teeth and muttered: "Two percent is good." He hugged Buddha's feet for the time being, as if he sincerely hoped that Sun Simiao could tide over the difficulties, but he had the heart of a Bodhisattva to save others and himself. Sun Simiao stood on the bank of the river embankment and beside the weeping willows, listening to the evening wind blowing cold, his eyes fixed on the bright moon of Hulu for a moment. Even though he has a mysterious origin, Funiu's skill, and can even bring the dead back to life, he still doesn't dare to be careless in front of the world's number one general Hu Lu Mingyue.

Hulu Mingyue was not in a hurry to draw his bow.Seeing that Sun Simiao was determined to take the move, his eyes flashed too strangely—like a little surprised, but also a little clear. Holding the bow in her left hand, Hu Lu Mingyue stroked the bow with her right hand to carve, suddenly said: "Do you know how many people have died under my aspiring arrows in the past thirty years?" Without waiting for Sun Simiao to answer, and knowing that Sun Simiao had no way to answer, Hu Lu Mingyue continued: "I joined the army at the age of seventeen, and I was called the Admiral of Luo Diao when I joined the army at the age of seventeen. Since then, I have never shot eagles, and those who shoot are all violating our country's borders. Tigers, leopards and wolves."

At that moment, he looked resolute and his tone was cold, no matter who heard it, he could understand his determination. With the Law of Dendrobium and the bright moon, those who violate Qi will be punished! He insisted on keeping Sun Simiao in trouble, and insisted that Sun Simiao take three arrows from him. Could it be that he always felt that Sun Simiao would ultimately be disadvantageous to Qi? "In the battle of Pingyang, I shot and killed Yuchi Linfeng, the vanguard of Daxi, the general of Zhou, and let Daxi retreat without a fight. In the third year of Heqing (564), Qi and Zhou decisively fought against Luoyang. , I personally shot Wang Xiong, the number one fierce general of the Zhou Kingdom, and let Yu Wenhu flee after hearing the news. In the third year of Tiantong (567), the two heroes of the Zhou Kingdom, Yu Wenjie and Liang Jingxing, refused to accept my name and led Zhou soldiers to fight in front of 100,000 battles. I was asked to fight by name, and I shot Liang Jingxing to death on the spot, but Yu Wenjie didn't dare to fight, so he was defeated immediately."

Although he talked about the past in a calm and calm manner, the murderous intent contained in it made Ran Keqiu, Wang Wu and others sweat profusely. Murong Wanqing's expression was even more agitated, she clenched her slender hands, appearing pale. Listening to Hulu Mingyue said again: "Afterwards, I took three thousand cavalry to pursue Zhou's army for eight hundred miles, and assassinated Yu Wenjie under the gun. Later, Wei Xiaokuan, the number one general of Zhou State, couldn't bear it, and fought me in a decisive battle in Fenshui. I sent people to insult me ​​in every possible way, Shooting and killing thirteen of his subordinates in a row, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he dared not see me in the end."

In the night, Sun Simiao's clothes fluttered, as if he was also excited by Hulu Mingyue's past pride, and his heartstrings shook. Of course he knew that Hu Lu Mingyue said these old things were not to show off, but to attack the heart. The generals who are always victorious on the battlefield do not rely solely on the strength of brave men. Those below attack, those above attack their hearts! But even if he knew that Hu Lu Mingyue was using the method of attacking the mind, he would inevitably be attracted by Ruyan's past. Sighing softly, Hulu Mingyue looked at the sky, there was a moon in the sky, and the moon was bright, "I have been in the army for more than 30 years, and I have never killed no one under the arrow. Every time I kill someone, I have to carve a mark on the bow. Today, there are one hundred and thirty-nine."

Everyone couldn't help looking at Hulu Mingyue's bow, but it was too dark to see clearly.Just as he was feeling agitated, he heard Hulu Mingyue say: "Sun Simiao, I wonder if you will add another scar to this bow today?" With a flash of his back, he drank before staring at Sun Simiao. "Go!" That sound of drinking was like a thunderbolt in the night sky, shaking the river almost backwards. Ran Keqiu's ears buzzed and his heartstrings tensed, he was stunned by the shout and couldn't move. Before the sound of the bowstring was heard, the bowstring trembled violently, and a black lightning shot out from the bowstring, heading straight for Sun Simiao.Although everyone's eyes were on Hulu Mingyue, they didn't see him draw a bow and set an arrow!

The power of that arrow almost made ghosts and gods look pale, but it took Sun Simiao's thigh. Although Sun Simiao was fully prepared, he did not expect Hulu Mingyue to shoot the arrow so suddenly and at such a tricky angle, but he seemed to be alert long before Hulu Mingyue yelled, suddenly soaring into the air, his figure flashed, and He ran behind the willow tree beside him. The feather arrow fell into the air, and the whole branch was shot into the soil, but it disappeared, showing the sharpness of the arrow. Just now Sun Simiao dodged to the side of the willows on the embankment, seemingly not wanting to offend the innocent, but it turned out that he had already planned a strategy to avoid Hulu Mingyue's aspiring arrow.

This shot and dodge is simply ingenious, as if they cooperated in advance. When Murong Wanqing saw it, she was astonished in her heart that Sun Simiao had such an ingenious movement technique, her eyes followed Sun Simiao's figure all the time. Ran Ke begged to see him, his blood was rushing, if he hadn't been deafened and dazzled by Hulu Mingyue's yell just now, and his heart was pounding, he would have drunk it well... But his face changed drastically in an instant, and his heart almost stopped beating. Sun Simiao hid behind a tree, of course because he considered that Hulu Mingyue's arrow skills are the best in the world, and his arrows are as sharp as lightning. If he shoots three arrows in a row, even the gods of Daluo will not be able to dodge them.But if he hid behind the tree to break the momentum of Hulu Mingyue's arrows, it would be much easier to dodge Hulu Mingyue's three arrows respectively.

But this is also in Hulu Mingyue's calculations! Sun Simiao's body had just entered the shadow of the tree, Hu Lu Mingyue didn't see the bow to make a gesture amidst Hu Lu Mingyue's violent shouts, but he saw another feathered arrow missing from his shoulder for no reason. If the feather arrow had supernatural powers, after a little hovering, it was shot out from the bowstring amazingly, piercing through the willow tree. And Sun Simiao is behind the tree. Ran Keqiu's vision went dark, and he even thought of Sun Simiao being pierced by a sharp arrow. Everyone knows that Hulu Mingyue's arrow skills are superb, and to avoid him with three arrows is like reaching the sky, but no one thought that his arrow skills are psychic, and it can be said that he can almost block gods and kill gods, and demons can kill demons. The gods and Buddhas are in the sky, and they don't dare to shoot the aspirations arrow sharply. The willow tree is in front, and it will also be pierced by the aspirations arrow. If Sun Simiao escaped with willows, he would undoubtedly put himself to death. The bowstring trembled like a torrential rain, and Fengming Qingyue suddenly appeared in the torrential rain. In the evening wind, I saw the willow branches stirring.In the moment of life and death, Sun Simiao suddenly reached out and grabbed the willow branch, and with the help of the spring of the willow branch, he rose into the air. Ran Ke begged to see him, he was inexplicably astonished, it was hard to believe that there are people in the world who are more powerful than Spirit Ape. The night was dark, and Sun Simiao's figure could not be restrained. The night was cold, and there was faintly seen blood dripping down. Sun Simiao was still hit by the arrow! This is just the second arrow shot by Hu Lu Mingyue! Sun Simiao seemed to have exhausted all his strength, but he plunged himself into a real death situation. He was in the air, and there was no shield to hide from. When Hulu Mingyue was seventeen years old, she shot down a giant eagle in the sky.Sun Simiao was in the air, even with Diao'er's wings, it seemed that he would never be able to escape Hu Lu Mingyue's falling arrow. Ran Keqiu's heart fell into the abyss, Wang Wu and Zhang San's faces were ashen ashes, Murong Wanqing clenched her fists, her whole body trembled, her lips moved, as if she was about to shout something... At this moment, Sun Simiao had been bounced to the highest point by the willow stick, turned around strangely, and rushed towards Hulu Mingyue in the air! All the soldiers and generals opened their eyes wide, showing expressions of disbelief. At this moment, Sun Simiao's best way to escape is to run as far away as possible, but he actually narrowed the distance with Hulu Mingyue. Could it be that he knew that he would not be able to evade Hu Lu Mingyue's last arrow, so he wanted to die happily? Even Hulu Mingyue's eyes flashed with surprise, he narrowed his eyes, and the feathered arrow on his shoulder jumped again, and it landed in his hand. The arrow is in hand, the hand is pulling the string, the string is stretched, the bow is full of the moon, and the arrow is pointing to the sky! Sun Simiao was in the sky, and he saw the cold light of the arrows, like the smoke of war, and the mist on his face, like Qin Yue and Han Guan.He yelled lightly, shook his hand, and a little green arrow shot at Hulu Mingyue. He was the first to launch an attack, and counterattacked Hu Lu Mingyue before the third arrow. The bowstring trembled, and the feathered arrow came out again. The thunderbolt-like feathered arrow instantly pierced through the green, hit Sun Simiao's chest, pierced through his body, and flew straight to the bright moon in the sky, disappearing. Ran Keqiu swayed, only feeling that the arrow hit his heart at the same time, causing inexplicable colic pain.But Wang Wu shouted in surprise: "Boss, look!" Ran Keqiu took a closer look, and saw clothes falling slowly from mid-air, while Sun Simiao landed on the ground well, except for the blood flowing from his left arm, there was no blood hole in his chest. Ran Keqiu couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, and found that what he saw was not a hallucination, he was surprised and happy, and ran forward and shouted: "Mr. Sun, are you okay?" Between the three arrows that made Sun Simiao go from death to life, Ran Keqiu also felt the cruelty of life and death. He was overjoyed at this moment, and there was still a question in his mind. Just now he clearly saw the third arrow hit Sun Simiao's chest. How could he be unharmed? ? Sun Simiao reached out and grabbed the fallen gown, tore off a strip of the skirt to bandage the arrow wound on his left shoulder. There was a little arrow mark on the chest of the gown.Wind and dust sorting and proofreading. He looked at the arrow mark with strange eyes, and he looked up at Hulu Mingyue after a while. Hulu Mingyue was still holding the longbow, the string was still trembling, but there was no arrow on the string. He stood there, looking at Sun Simiao, with disbelief in his eyes, but more like thinking. "General Hulu, I have already received three arrows." Sun Simiao finally spoke. Just at the moment of life and death, the arrows are like thunder and lightning, thrilling, making it difficult for everyone to change their minds for a while.At this moment, he was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened. Ran Keqiu looked nervously at Hulu Mingyue, thinking to himself, wondering if Mr. Sun dodged the three arrows, would Hulu Mingyue keep his promise, or would there be another disturbance? Hulu Mingyue was silent for a long while, until the bowstring stopped vibrating, and then said indifferently: "Okay." No one was sure whether his "good" meant Sun Simiao's skill was good, or had other meanings, so Hu Lu Mingyue said again: "Let five of them go out of the city." Sun Simiao frowned, and said slowly: "General Hulu, when I came to Yecheng, I wanted to find someone because of an agreement." "The person you are looking for is no longer in Yecheng." Hulu Mingyue cut off, "You shouldn't have come at all." "But... I'm already here." Sun Simiao said slowly. Hulu Mingyue squinted at Sun Simiao and said, "You don't want to go?" Although he spoke softly, at that moment, the torches beside the Jinshui River were about to froze. Ran Keqiu was so anxious that he wanted to jump, he didn't know who Sun Simiao was looking for at this time, couldn't he go out of the city and talk about it? Sun Simiao wanted to say something else, but after glancing at the four people around him, he finally sighed and turned to leave. Ran Keqiu, Wang Wu and the others let out a sigh of relief, and helped Zhang San to leave. Murong Wanqing was still a little hesitant, seeing Hulu Mingyue looking over, she seemed to be afraid, she didn't dare to ask about her uncle, she immediately turned around and followed Ran Keqiu and others to leave. Until Sun Simiao and the others fell into the darkness for a long time, Hulu Mingyue still stood there holding his bow, with no expression on his face. The soldiers and guards on the shore were just holding torches, standing like stone carvings, and the only sound of crackling torches was heard on the shore. "Of course you saw everything just now?" Hu Lu Mingyue asked suddenly, asking strangely. A figure flashed out of the darkness, like a part of the night. His whole body was covered in a black robe, and he even wore a bamboo hat on his head, making it difficult to see his face clearly.The man came out in response, but he didn't answer immediately, instead he took a few steps forward, reached the place where Sun Simiao was standing just now, and lowered his head to look for something. After a while, the man bent down and picked up a green willow branch from the ground, and looked at it for a while. What he did seemed to be an extremely ordinary and irrelevant thing. Surprisingly, Hu Lu Mingyue was also paying attention to his actions, and seemed to see some mystery from it. The man looked at the willow branch, and said after a long while: "General, this son's skill is unbelievable. But the most terrifying thing about this son is that he can predict people first, and his scheming is unpredictable." His voice was extremely hoarse, and his words were slow, obviously Is a careful and meticulous person. Hulu Mingyue just nodded and looked up at the night sky. At this time, the bright moon is hanging alone in the sky. Although it casts thousands of brilliance, it is inevitable that it will be lonely. The man held up the willow branch and said: "Before the general fired his third arrow, he knew that it would be impossible to dodge the general's arrow. At that time, the general's arrow was on the string and he had to shoot it. He used this willow branch as a guide, Stimulating the general's arrow momentum, and at the same time using the Taoist secret technique 'one qi transforms three cleans' to take off his clothes and change his shape, the general shot his arrow at his clothes, but he managed to escape the general's third arrow with these two steps .” He paused, and added: "Of course, the general only wanted to see his details, and didn't go all out. But even so, this person is in a desperate situation, and his ability to predict people is also a leader." Hulu Mingyue finally said: "Liu Taozhi, you have the ability, as long as the person in the Tao makes a move, you can see his origin. In addition to the trick of 'one qi transforms three cleans', Sun Simiao used it to throw willow branches. What method?" He looked solemn, and at that moment he paid great attention to this question, and when he mentioned the word "man in the Tao", he looked disgusted. Liu Taozhi also raised his head to look at the sky, as if recalling the figure of Sun Simiao who leaped into the air just now, and said after a long time: "It's not Taoism, it's not hidden weapon technique, it's swordsmanship." "Swordsmanship? Not Taoism?" Hulu Mingyue's eyes twitched. Liu Taozhi shook his head, then nodded affirmatively, "It's swordsmanship. There is absolutely no such move in Taoism. The technique and manner of using a sword and using a concealed weapon are not the same, so he is not using a concealed weapon either. When he touched the willow branch, he felt that he was indeed stabbing with a sword." He closed his eyes slightly, recalling, "That sword was not arrogant, but the aura of the sword was something that Taozhi had never seen in his life." "If it's the first time you've seen this kind of swordsmanship, it's really hard for others to recognize it." Hu Lu Mingyue murmured. Liu Taozhi nodded, but stopped talking. "If even you can't see it, it may also mean that this kind of swordsmanship has not been handed down in the world." Hulu Mingyue said again. Liu Taozhi's body trembled slightly. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his voice trembled slightly, "General, what do you mean?" Hulu Mingyue was still looking at the bright moon in the sky, and slowly said: "Zhou Guoyu Wenshi and my Daqi have been fighting for decades, and the enmity during that time is innumerable. At the beginning, it was all because of my Daqi Shenwu Emperor's bravery. Only a huge country can stand on a tripod with Zhou Guo and Chen Guo." He changed the topic somewhat abruptly, but his expression was nostalgic, as if he had expressed his feelings. Although the Qi State was founded by Emperor Shenwu Gao Huan, Hu Luming calendared the five dynasties of Qi State, and it can be said that he helped Gao Huan support half of the country, but he did not mention his own credit in his words, which shows his loyalty to Shenwu Emperor Gao Huan One spot. "I am a martial artist, and I have been promoted by Emperor Shenwu. I should do my best to assist Gao's family, and I dare not neglect. I have spent my whole life just wanting to help the Great Qi conquer Chen and conquer Zhou, and unify the country. However, the king of Jiangnan has not received his anger, and the state of Zhou is getting worse day by day. Strong...I'm afraid..." Hu Lu Mingyue lightly plucked the bowstring, lamenting. Liu Taozhi said cautiously: "Why should the general be self-deprecating? Considering that Qi is now powerful and number one in the world, Jiangnan is suffering from internal and external troubles. Since Chen Ba first received Zen, the momentum of Chen State is far inferior to that of Song, Qi, and Liang. After Chen Ba died first , Chen’s domestic consumption is extremely high, and uncles seized the power of nephews. Although Chen Xu is in power now, he is considered a person, but the generals available to him are no more than Chun Yuliang, Wu Mingche, and Xiao Mahe, why worry about it?" He talks eloquently, and he is obviously very familiar with the general trend of the world. After pondering for a moment, Liu Taozhi said again: "Although Yu Wenyong is the emperor in the state of Zhou, all power is in the hands of the powerful minister Yu Wenhu. Yu Wenhu has no strategy on the battlefield, and he doesn't know the general situation. After all, it will be difficult to win the battle with the general. burden." Hulu Mingyue thought to herself: Liu Taozhi has seen people well, but it is difficult to know himself.Although Chen Guo and Chen Xu seized the status of nephew, why isn't this kind of tragedy happening again and again in our Qi country?In the more than 20 years since Emperor Shenwu, the Qi State has changed four generations of monarchs, and civil strife is also evident.Fortunately, although today is still young, it is like a blank sheet of paper. As long as you teach patiently, it is not difficult to become a generation of enlightened masters.Chang Gong is rising like the sun again, so he can inherit my mantle.Under my painstaking management, Daqi is now able to seize the upper hand and realize my long-cherished wish in my life.But it's up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Even though he thought so, he was still inspired by Liu Taozhi's words. Hu Lu Mingyue said: "Although Chen Guo is declining, the lord Chen Xu also has ambitions due to hardships, so he should not be underestimated..." Speaking of this, he thought to himself: If my plan today can be carried out, Chen Guo will have nothing to worry about! But after all, he didn't say what was on his mind, he just said: "Our real enemy is still Zhou Guo!" Hulu Mingyue couldn't help but fell into contemplation, and said for a long time: "Although Zhou Guo said that Yuwen is protecting power, its foundation is solid, and it is by no means comparable to Chen Guo. The old man has been paying attention to the changes in Zhou Guo. I'm afraid..." I wanted to say that Yu Wenyong might be better than Gao Wei, but finally swallowed this sentence, and Hu Lu Mingyue said again: "There was Dugu Xin first in the state of Zhou, and then Wei Xiaokuan. These two people may not be as good at martial arts as the old man, but if we talk about forbearance The strategy is still above this old man. The main reason why the state of Zhou survived was because of these two people. However, since Dugu Xin is dead, what this old man is most worried about is not Wei Xiaokuan." Liu Taozhi had been listening quietly, but now he was a little confused, "What the general is worried about is..." "I'm most worried about Sun Simiao and a man named Narayan." Liu Taozhi said: "I can guess why the general attaches so much importance to Sun Simiao... But who is Luo Yan?" Hulu Mingyue frowned, and said after a while, "Na Luoyan was originally Dugu Xin's son-in-law. This son was valued by Dugu Xin when he was young, and he betrothed his daughter Dugu Jialuo to him." Liu Taozhi pondered for a moment before saying: "It is said that Dugu is a good believer, and that he was able to marry his daughter to Na Luoyan. Obviously, he feels that this son will definitely do something. But these years, why have I never heard of this person's name?" "This is exactly where the old man is confused." Hulu Mingyue frowned, and said slowly, "Since he married Duguxin's daughter, there seems to be no news about him. I sent people to inquire many times, and they all said that People have been hiding in Wu Chuan's house, reading some sage books for entertainment, but no one has actually seen him. It seems that he has never seen outsiders for a few years before Dugu Xin died." Liu Taozhi pinched his fingers and counted, his body shook suddenly, and he said in a low voice: "The general compares this person with Sun Simiao. Could it be that... he also disappeared many years ago?" ...Did he disappear with Sun Simiao?" He seemed to attach great importance to Sun Simiao's disappearance, and he knew more about the inside story like Hu Lu Mingyue, and asked, "Then... will he...will come back with Sun Simiao?" Hu Lu Mingyue brows were full of doubts, slowly shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the news from Kunlun said that there was indeed someone beside Sun Simiao at that time. I am not sure whether that person is Na Luoyan." Liu Taozhi took a long breath, looked around, and said very cautiously: "General, you have tried all kinds of tricks on Sun Simiao and deliberately made things difficult. Do you suspect that he has something to do with the Taoist?" When he mentioned the word "man in the Tao", he spoke very softly, as if walking on thin ice. Not hearing Hulu Mingyue's answer, Liu Taozhi said again: "Or, the general thinks that Ruyi is in Kunlun? And Sun Simiao met Ruyi when he was in Kunlun?" Hulu Mingyue's tiger's body was shaken, and when he clenched his right fist, the bowstring made a clanking sound. Seeing this, Liu Taozhi stood with his hands down, and said in a low voice: "General, please forgive my slip of the tongue." Hulu Mingyue's eyes were like lightning, nailed to Liu Taozhi's body, and he said after a long time: "Taozhi, I have known you for many years, so I don't need to hide many things from you. But what I know about Ruyi is still limited to legends. The matter of Ruyi is very careful, even convinced, the old man will not interfere, but I hope you can understand a little..." Liu Taozhi said respectfully: "General, please speak." Hu Lu Mingyue said: "Whether it is successful or not, our plan will never change. If we do things carefully, we must not take chances and pin our hopes on illusory things." Liu Taozhi immediately said: "That's natural. It's just that if you see Ruyi..." Seeing Hu Lu Mingyue's expression was terrified, Liu Taozhi stopped talking, but said, "After three arrows, general, how do you judge Sun Simiao?" After pondering for a while, Liu Taozhi said slowly: "Whether Zu Shizhong or Master Mu thinks that he came only for Mrs. Xian and King Lanling..." Before he could finish speaking, Hu Lu Mingyue waved his hand to cut him off. Hu Lu Mingyue looked towards the direction where Sun Simiao was leaving, and said coldly, "Do you believe his purpose is that simple?" Liu Taozhi said after a while: "Looking at Sun Simiao's behavior, he is not a person who is inconsistent with his words and deeds. What's more, after he arrived in Yecheng, he did not commit any crimes, but even saved several people..." Hulu Mingyue cut it off: "Those who are treacherous and evil often act like sages. If Wang Mang hadn't sought power later, wouldn't the world think he was a sage?" "So the general thinks that Sun Simiao is just pretending?" Liu Taozhi speculated. Hulu Mingyue said slowly: "Whether you are pretending or not, you have to take your time. The old man only knows that a person who could have become famous thirteen years ago can suddenly abandon his pomp and disappear, and come out thirteen years later. The purpose will never be as simple as he shows! He will definitely be involved with people in the Tao." This was the second time he mentioned the Taoist, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Liu Taozhi said in a low voice: "Since the general doubts him, why did he let him go? Once he leaves, he will be far and wide, and it will be difficult to see him again." Hulu Mingyue affirmed: "If the old man's guess is correct, he will definitely go south after leaving Yecheng." Liu Taozhi actually agreed with Hu Lumingyue's deduction, and said: "Yes, he will most likely go south. But... even if the general knows that he is going south, it is not easy to know his whereabouts." The corner of Hulu Mingyue's mouth suddenly had an indecipherable taste, and she murmured: "There is no need to worry about this. Since the old man can let him go, he is sure to accept him." Holding the longbow in his hand, he sighed suddenly, a question suddenly came to his mind, Liu Taozhi didn't even know Sun Simiao's sword technique, could it be Tianyi? Thinking of this, the bowstring vibrated again, and the buzzing sound was mixed with the turmoil of the dark night. After Ran Keqiu ran out of Yecheng for a few miles, he heard the trembling sound of Hulu Mingyue's bowstring. Shaking his head and sweating, Ran Keqiu realized that his heart was beating violently and his whole body was exhausted. The gate of the city was already closed, but Hu Lu Mingyue gave an order, so the soldiers guarding the city were not embarrassed by them. As soon as the five people left Yecheng, although the night ahead was dark, Ran Keqiu picked up Zhang Sandang and ran out first without saying a word. Ran Keqiu was afraid that Hulu Mingyue would play cat-and-mouse tricks and soon send someone to catch them back, so he ran all the way until he was too tired to breathe, then he put Zhang San down for a while, thinking to himself that the trick hadn't started , I was exhausted first. Panting heavily and looking at Sun Simiao, Ran Keqiu, although worried all night, finally got his wish, suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Master, please accept my apprentice's worship." When Sun Simiao faced Hu Lu Mingyue, he was always calm and composed. Seeing Ran Keqiu being so startled, he dodged and frowned, "What are you doing? Who is your master?" Ran Keqiu blinked, too happy to shed tears, and wiped off his sweat as emotion. "Of course you are my master. Master, there is something you don't know..." Seeing that Zhang San and Wang Wu both had ignorant expressions, he reminded, "You don't remember? Master Seng Can once mentioned Mr. Sun... ..." Wang Wudao: "That's right, Master Seng Can did mention Sun Simiao..." I don't understand what this has to do with Ran Ke's apprenticeship, but their brothers have been cheating and abducting together for many years, and I don't know how many times they have practiced this kind of cooperation. Just go on, and the rest of the things will be solved by yourself. As expected, Ran Keqiu continued, sighed and said: "Master, remember that when you and I first met, I told you that I had met Master Seng Can?" Sun Simiao nodded and said: "Remember, you said that Master Seng Can taught you the art of matching people." He glanced sideways at Murong Wanqing and said, "Your skills of matching people are really not simple. You stand up and speak." Ran Ke asked Sun Simiao for information and said that he didn't know about Murong Wanqing pretending to be Wan'er. The old man blushed, but he immediately stood up and said, "Master has an order, how dare this apprentice not listen. But when the apprentice stood up to speak, he felt the same way about Master." Respect." Seeing that Sun Simiao did not refuse, he said secretly, "Master doesn't know something. Master Sengcan sees that his disciple is very intelligent, and he wants to accept him as a disciple, but the disciple didn't follow him." he." Sun Simiao was slightly surprised, "This is an opportunity, and you missed it for nothing?" Ran Keqiu immediately said: "Who said it wasn't? But when the disciple and the master talked about this matter, they said that there were two reasons why the disciple could not worship Sengcan as a teacher." "What did you say, firstly... secondly...but the exact reason was not mentioned." Sun Simiao recalled. Ran Ke begged for praise: "Master is a master, he never forgets." After flattering her, she pretended to be loyal again, and Ran Ke begged: "At the beginning I didn't know the identity of the master, so I kept the inside information a secret. Now that the master asked me, of course I would tell. Now... the monk Master Can was inconvenient to stay in Ye City for a long time, if I had worshiped him as my teacher, I would have to leave Ye City right now. I can't bear to part with Miss Die Wu." Although he blushed, he still said sincerely: "Now, if you want to worship Sengcan as your teacher, you must become a monk, and you cannot return to the layman. I am the only one in my family. If I become a monk, will I not be the only one left behind? Of course I won't." Sun Simiao thought to himself, you said you were an orphan back then, how did you know your background? Without waiting to ask, Ran Ke begged again: "Master Seng Can was begging... no, he was persuading me to be his apprentice... I just didn't want to. Zhang San, what's wrong with you, did you suffer from pain?" Zhang San was indeed working hard, but it was just hard work. He listened to Ran Keqiu and turned black and white. If it wasn't for the pain in his shoulder, he would have burst into laughter. He grinned and said, "It really hurts. Wang Wu, you missed the arrow. what happened again?" Wang Wu lowered his head to prevent everyone from seeing his expression, and said in a muffled voice, "My stomach hurts." Ran Keqiu ignored the two brothers, but remembered where he had made up, and continued: "Master Seng Can had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​accepting me as a disciple. But he said that good disciples were hard to find, and that there was a man named Sun Simiao... Master Sengcan is also looking for an apprentice, Master Sengcan decided immediately, in order to prevent me from going astray, temporarily accept me on behalf of Mr. Sun, and let me see Mr. Sun in the future, just call Master directly." Blinking his eyes, he finally squeezed out some tears. Ran Keqiu took a step forward and shouted: "Master, since then, I have been looking forward to seeing you every day, and today I finally got my wish. When I know that you have been imprisoned, I will I was so anxious that I contacted a helper to save you. God bless me, I finally let the apprentice successfully rescue the master. Master, don't worry, I will follow you in the future, and I will definitely work hard to practice martial arts. I will defeat Hulu Mingyue in the future and seek justice for you today .” He looked like he was about to bow down again, but Sun Simiao dodged to dodge, shook his head and said, "I won't accept you as a disciple." Ran Keqiu originally thought that his nonsense was affectionate and righteous, and that even a hard-hearted man would be able to move him. He didn't want Sun Simiao's heartless appearance, so he said in amazement: "Why...why? Did Master Seng Can not tell you about this? something?" Sun Simiao didn't wait for an answer, and Murong Wanqing who was beside him said coldly: "Why, don't you understand? You are apprenticed to defeat Hu Lu Mingyue, but you, the master, dare not offend Hu Lu Mingyue." Everyone's expressions changed when they heard her insulting words to Sun Simiao.Ran Keqiu had the quickest thought this time, and immediately thought that I was using a bitter plan, and Murong Wanqing was in a catastrophe, but I was using the aggressive method. I just wanted to arouse Sun Simiao's hatred for Hulu Mingyue, and join forces to fight against the Gao family's monarchs and ministers . Sun Simiao frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Miss Murong knows my heart very well." Murong Wanqing didn't want Sun Simiao to lose all anger, she was very surprised, rolled her eyes, and immediately said: "Ran Keqiu, so you don't have to hope to impress Mr. Sun with the robbery, maybe in his opinion, we are unnecessary." There was unspeakable sarcasm in her words, but at the end, her expression was clear and sad. All her clan members were beheaded by the Gao family. To save Sun Simiao, she also paid for her only uncle, but now it seems that Sun Simiao does not want to be enemies with King Lanling and Hulu Mingyue. The hope of revenge, once you think about it, how can you not feel like a knife is piercing your heart? However, she is also an extremely stubborn woman, and she would never utter her begging words. When Ran Keqiu, Wang Wu and Zhang San saw that kind of sad eyes, they felt inexplicably sad in their hearts. Sun Simiao didn't look at Murong Wanqing, but seeing the different eyes of the others, he said calmly, "That's right, if you hadn't rescued me by robbing the prison, maybe I wouldn't have been shot by Hulu Mingyue at all." Although what he said was true, it was really not useful for everyone to hear it. Zhang San became furious, and said loudly: "Listen to what Mr. Sun said, did we implicate you?" Sun Simiao didn't answer this time, but just stood with his hands behind his back, with an expression of acquiescence. Although Zhang San was grateful for Sun Simiao's kindness in saving him, he thought if he didn't go to save Sun Simiao, why would he take this arrow?The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he looked at Ran Ke and begged: "Boss, you are going through water and fire, and our brothers follow us desperately. We don't want to rescue this kind of person. What's the use of worshiping this kind of master? Let's go!" Wang Wu kept supporting him, seeing him struggling to leave, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Zhang San, don't worry, always ask the boss what he means." Zhang Sandao: "That's still a question, of course he is leaving with us." He looked up at Ran Keqiu, his heart sank, and saw Ran Keqiu standing there with a bit embarrassed expression, but he clearly had no intention of leaving. Sun Simiao looked at Ran Keqiu and asked, "Ran Zhuangshi, do you think what I just said is right?" Ran Keqiu's expression changed several times, seeing Zhang San and Wang Wu looking at him, wiping off their sweat, stretching and clenching their fists, looking embarrassed.But in the end, he gritted his teeth, "Sir, you are right. If we hadn't been troublesome, Mr. Mu would have been fine. If we are wrong, we must admit our mistakes. Zhang San, Wang Wu, come here... come here... Mr. Xiang Apologize." Zhang San was startled, looked at Ran Keqiu as if he didn't know him, and said after a long time: "We are brothers." Ran Keqiu looked embarrassed, before he could say anything, he heard Zhang San say: "But after this moment, we are no longer brothers!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and strode away.Wang Wu took a look at Ran Keqiu, his expression was also dissatisfied, he turned and followed Zhang San to leave. Murong Wanqing turned her eyes, shook her head and said, "Ran Zhuangshi, you don't even want your brother in order to become a master. Your master doesn't even want face in order to protect himself. It seems that your master and apprentice are really good match. I here I wish you a successful apprenticeship as soon as possible, and I hope that when Mr. Sun meets Hulu Mingyue again, he will be spared an arrow." After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back. Ran Keqiu watched her back disappear into the darkness, then slowly turned around and looked at Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao was also looking at him... After a long time, Ran Keqiu said: "Master, it seems that you should give me an explanation!"
