Chapter 136 Chapter 7 A Chance Encounter

Three figures jumped down from a three-foot-high boulder one after another, and all of them rolled down in the knee-high green grass, panting and unable to get up. Xu Ziling fought hard and was injured with all his strength. After driving for nearly two hours, he was close to the situation where the oil was exhausted and the lights were dry. Ba Fenghan is just recovering from a serious injury, and if he consumes his true energy again, he will be exhausted. Kou Zhong's condition couldn't get any better. When he was healing Ba Fenghan earlier, he heard Qu Ao's laughter. He rushed to open up the blocked meridian for Ba Fenghan. After excessive wear and tear, he drove away again After such a long journey, I am exhausted.

Kou Zhong reluctantly raised his face from the grass, glanced around, under the starlight and moonlight, there were endless hills and wild ridges, he said with a wry smile: "Did we go in the wrong direction, why can't we see the shadow of Luoyang city?" Woolen cloth?" Ba Fenghan gasped and said, "I use the stars in the sky to tell the direction, and I will never get lost. At worst, I should reach the south bank of the big river." Xu Ziling shouted in a low voice: "Get up and practice!" Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan lost their voices together: "What?"

Xu Ziling set an example and tried his best to sit up. Although he was unsteady, he said in a firm voice: "This is what Lao Ba said. If you practice high-level martial arts, you should avoid When we are exhausted, we are paralyzed like giving up everything, so we have to seize this rare opportunity and fight with iron will and fatigue, understand?" Ba Fenghan smiled wryly: "Master Xu taught you well." He sat up like him. Kou Zhong also got up, but he stood upright and said proudly: "Standing is more natural for me." The two of them paid attention to him with such strength, closed their eyes, and practiced separately.

They all understand that the only way to survive now is to recover their mental and physical strength as soon as possible, and then they can fight or flee as they please. In fact, this is a competition of perseverance and physical fitness. Originally, only Hou Hou, Qu Ao, etc. could catch up with them, and everyone else was left behind. That may have changed, though, as they stopped several times to rest and heal. At dawn, Kou Zhong shouted suddenly, when Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan suddenly opened their eyes, Kou Zhong was jumping into the air, and Jing Zhongyue shot at a strange bird flying over the sky.

The two just woke up from the deepest breath adjustment, and for a moment they didn't realize why Kou Zhong did this. With a "croak", the poor bird swept away and threw it to the top of a sparse forest on the left. Kou Zhong sent out a wave of fingering wind with his left hand, and struck at the strange bird. The bird fluttered its wings as if it had eyes, but was still swept by Kou Zhong's finger at the tip of the left wing, and with a mournful cry, it disappeared into the forest as if drunk. Kou Zhong chased into the forest like facing a formidable enemy. Xu Ziling met Ba Fenghan's inquiring gaze, and said: "I remembered, this is a flat-haired animal raised by Shen Luoyan, and it is specially used to find the enemy's tracks for her, it is very miraculous."

Ba Fenghan changed his expression and said, "That means Li Mi's people have roughly grasped our location, so they released strange birds to search for us in this area." Xu Ziling silently observed the situation in his body, and found that he had regained six or seven successes, and his fatigue was wiped away. He asked, "How is your condition?" Ba Fenghan said: "I don't know how many times I have been injured outside the territory. There are at least ten more serious injuries than this one. It's nothing!" At this time Kou Zhong came back with a disgruntled expression on his face, and said sternly: "It slipped away, but it will never fly far. Flat-haired beasts rely on the balance of their wings. If one side is injured, it is like we are crippled." ,what!"

The two smiled for it. When the dawn dawned, all three of them were in high spirits, feeling like they had regained a new life. Kou Zhong returned to the scabbard, said with a smile: "How?" Ba Fenghan's eyes flashed coldly, he looked to the north and said: "Get to the big river first, and then try to find a boat to save your feet!" The three of them tried their best and used the technique of stealth and concealment to look north and run for tens of miles, but the sun still hadn't reached the middle of the sky. In order to preserve their physical strength, they slowed down while looking at their surroundings.Ba Fenghan pointed to the northwest and said, "Luoyang and Yanshi should be in that direction, but if we run in a straight line, it would be a strange thing if we don't fall into a certain group of enemies."

Kou Zhong's expression changed and he said, "Why don't we go to Yanshi first!" Of course Xu Ziling knew that he went to Yanshi to find Wang Shichong so that he could offer advice to deal with Li Mi. Ba Fenghan was slightly surprised and said: "Aren't you rushing to Luoyang?" Kou Zhong said embarrassingly: "One of the purposes of my trip to Luoyang was to find Wang Shichong, but I heard from Li Mi that he had led his troops to Yanshi City, so we went to talk to him!" Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said: "Stop talking nonsense! Do you think I don't know that you, Young Master Zhong, want to borrow a knife to kill people? Like Ziling, I have no interest in taking care of world affairs. It’s okay, and it’s not a big problem to join in the fun with you.”

Kou Zhongxi said: "I didn't expect you to be such a good friend." At this time, the three of them walked up a small hill, and saw a small village with dozens of families below, but it was not the slightest bit of life, it was actually an abandoned deserted village. In this chaotic era, it is not uncommon to see such deserted villages everywhere. Ba Fenghan stopped suddenly, and said in a low voice: "There are people in the village!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling followed him to a stop and looked intently, only to see that the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the houses were dilapidated and peeling off. There was no big difference in appearance from the barren villages they had seen before.

Xu Ziling nodded and said, "I also feel a little inappropriate, Lao Ba, what did you find out?" Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: "Just now I saw the window of one of the rooms shine brightly, it should be the reflection of the eyeballs, it can't be mistaken." Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Who could it be?" Xu Ziling analyzed: "It may be someone who has absolutely nothing to do with us. If it is Shen Luoyan or someone from the Yingui sect, why should he be so shy?" Kou Zhongdao: "Xiaoling is right. How about it? Should we take a detour?"

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "Young Master Zhong has become cowardly in order to fight for world supremacy, but be careful if you gain or lose, because it's not worth it if you run into the enemy instead by taking a detour." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "What nonsense, let's go!" Take the lead and run down the small slope. The three of them entered the entrance of the village with a leisurely attitude of strolling. Two rows of houses stretched left and right, as quiet as a ghost town. Suddenly the sound of hooves sounded on the other side of the village entrance, and they were running very fast. Ba Fenghan listened attentively, frowned and said: "If we walk forward like this, we just meet Laiqi outside the entrance of the village to have a look, why don't we find a room to hide and see what's going on?" Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were curious and nodded in agreement. The three then quickened their pace and came to the village. After seeing through the window that there was no one in one of the houses, they broke the door lock and opened the door to enter. Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan each opened the two windows facing the street a little, and peeped out. At this time, the sound of hoofbeats became louder, and the cavalry team would arrive here within a cup of hot tea. Ba Fenghan frowned and said: "I'm afraid there are forty or fifty riders who come to hear the sound of hooves. They are all good riders. The sound of hooves is neat and even. It can be seen that they have been trained and cooperated for a long time. Momentum." Kou Zhongdao: "The most strange thing is the sudden sound of hoofbeats just now, it seems that they stayed somewhere first, and then they suddenly started to run straight in this direction. It's really weird. I don't know if they are targeting us?" Xu Ziling walked to the back door at this time, opened the door and looked, there was a large courtyard behind, and then the dormitory that was entered behind, he heard this and asked in his heart: "Would it be possible that the big river flows in front, and this group of people just got off the boat?" Both Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong felt reasonable, the former said in a deep voice: "If it is true, if we need to disperse and escape later, we will meet at the south bank of the river with the sign as a mark, and then we will go to Yanshi to find Laowang." The two nodded in agreement. At this moment, Xu Ziling heard a faint breathing sound coming from the house behind him, and he became curious and said, "I'll take a look at the back!" Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhongzheng paid full attention to the situation ahead, they just nodded slightly, then Xu Ziling crossed the threshold and stepped into the courtyard. Based on the impression just now, Xu Ziling tried to push the door of the wing on the left, and the wooden door swung open. Xu Ziling looked inward, and was stunned to see a healthy and beautiful woman in a black dress, lying in a row on a couch with a gauze curtain, her eyes were closed and she didn't move. Through the purification of the gauze tent, this woman's skin is as white as snow and jade, extremely white, black clothes and white skin, bright and dazzling. Her black eyebrows are flying into the temples, her black hair is tied into a beauty bun on the top, a bunch of bangs are gently covered on her forehead, and the corners of her eyes are slanted upwards. The most impressive thing is that she is straight The bridge of the nose is impeccably matched with the slightly raised cheekbones, full of arrogance but yet elegant. The rosy lips carried a touch of a smile that was not a smile, as if encountering a sweet encounter in a dream. Xu Ziling first thought of Wanhou, but he definitely thought that this Shu in front of him was not like a demon girl of the Yin Gui sect, because this girl had a cheerful temperament that was completely different from Wanhou, Danmei or Bai Qinger, and she was by no means the kind of irritating girl. Chilling and charming. After Xu Ziling was stunned for a while, he crossed the threshold, moved to the front of the couch, and stretched out his hand to push aside the gauze curtain. With his concentration on women, he couldn't help but admire in his heart. Wrapped tightly in the tight dress, her slender and exquisite figure is fully exposed, which arouses people's daydreams. Without the barrier of the gauze, the lines of the facial features are more clear and shocking, the beautiful eyes are deeply embedded under the eyebrows, the two lips full of aristocratic style are tightly closed, and the breath is as soft as the rising sun in spring The soft wind blowing down. Even though she was in a deep sleep, Xu Ziling still intuitively felt that she was a flirtatious, lively and charming girl. Her beauty is by no means inferior to that of Wan Hou when she was asleep. For a while, Xu Ziling even forgot the thundering sound of hooves that had come to the north entrance of the barren village. The beauty's eyelashes fluttered, and then she opened her eyes, looked at him, and smiled sweetly, revealing a row of neat and white teeth. Both Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong in the hut outside noticed the strange situation on Xu Ziling's side, but they didn't hear the sound of fighting, they came to ride and entered the village, so they still focused their attention outside the window. With the sound of hoofbeats, more than forty riders rushed into the village, all dressed up and armed with weapons. The leader was a tall and burly man with a face full of flesh, with two knives in his back, and his eyes were shining brightly, obviously he was a master of both internal and external cultivation. The others are all tough people, their movements are uniform and they have a tacit understanding. The leading strong man reined in his horse and stopped, while the others scattered in all directions, guarding all passages in the village. Ba Fenghan moved to Kou Zhong's window, and said in a low voice: "This man is called 'Shuangdao' Du Ganmu, I met him once in Luoyang, he seems to be the general of Yuan Wendu, the confidant of Yue King Dong , is the most outstanding master of the Luliang sect, and the double sword is quite good." Kou Zhong secretly thought that if he could be rated as "pretty good" by Ba Fenghan, an arrogant person like Ba Fenghan, then he must have something to do. Suddenly, he felt that the Luliang faction was quite familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered that Qin Shubao's secret lover was the daughter of the head of the Luliang faction. He thought it would be such a coincidence. Yue Wang Tong is the emperor who sits in Luoyang in name, and Wang Shichong is just his courtier. Du Ganmu made a gesture, and all the knights got off their horses one after another and began to search the whole village. Xu Ziling came into contact with a pair of challenging beautiful bright eyes, and when his heart trembled slightly, the woman stretched out her white and soft jade hands to him, and smiled and said, "Would you please pull him up?" Xu Ziling hesitated for a while, and then grabbed her slender and pointed jade palm, and a warm and soft feeling penetrated his heart, and his heart swayed slightly. The beauty was pulled upright by him, and after saying "thank you" with a low smile, she moved to the edge of the bed, patted the empty seat next to her and said, "Sit down, please? Let's talk!" Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Did those people outside come to look for you? Do you still have time to chat?" The beauty put on a charming attitude of listening attentively, and said, "The villain is here to catch the slaves again! You must save me. Except for lightness skills, other skills are ordinary." Her eyes are like two stars rippling in a pool of autumn water, extremely attractive.Especially when speaking, the eyes kept changing with the expression, as if there were ripples one after another, who could not be moved by it. Xu Ziling couldn't help asking: "Who is the girl? Who are those villains outside?" The beauty stood tall, only two inches shorter than the tall Xu Ziling, with an elegant and tall figure. She unceremoniously sat in the corner chair, leaned her head against the back of the chair, closed her eyes and let out a breath of fragrance: "It's really exhausting!" Xuan opened his beautiful eyes again, and said happily: "People only look at the heroism you showed when you entered the village, and they know that you are good men who are chivalrous and righteous, and you will never ignore me, a weak and slender girl. Right? Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, my name is Dong Shuni, and Wang Shichong is my uncle." Xu Ziling was dumbfounded when he heard this, it turned out that the woman in front of him was Dong Shuni who Ba Fenghan had mentioned was a beauty in Luoyang.
