As Zhao Ziyang expected, after encountering the enemy in the valley, the road to the capital has been dangerous every step of the way. It is very common to encounter the enemy several times in one day. Even if he turns around and heads towards the official road, there are still dangers. Lengjian was trapped in a trap, and almost every step of the four of them was clearly calculated. After several days of trekking and fighting to the death, Qin Xiu, although his skills were not bad, still suffered serious injuries, especially three to five new arrow wounds on his shoulders and arms. After Zhao Ziyang cut off the arrow shaft, he realized that he had encountered several waves of people. The arrow clusters used are also very particular. They are not good at breaking armor, but they are quite difficult to remove from the flesh. Fortunately, Zhao Ziyang now has some tricks to deal with such stubborn arrow clusters. He spent a long time digging out the arrowheads with a short knife, supplemented by Wound medicine, even if you can't take action within a few days, can still protect your life.
In this way, there were only two people protecting the road to the car tent. After Qin Xiu was injured, it was almost Zhao Ziyang who could resist the enemies coming from all directions, both bright and dark. As a result, the woman with cold eyebrows in the car tent felt that this trip was coming several times. If you go to the capital, you will most likely die on the way. Although the abilities Zhao Ziyang is showing are indeed intimidating, from the woman's point of view, the background of the person behind the obstruction is too great. Regardless of his high position and power, it is still There are private troops coming to stop them endlessly, but Zhao Ziyang alone may not be able to stop them.
For two consecutive days, Qin Xiu did not light a bonfire at night. Firstly, he was really worried that the bonfire would reveal his whereabouts. Secondly, he was worried that someone would take advantage of the darkness to cover up his whereabouts and it would be difficult to deal with it. The sound of dry wood in the bonfire would always cover up many sounds, so Wrapped in clothes and slept. It was not cold in the car tent, but it was clear that the woman was tired from traveling and was frightened, and she had some symptoms of wind and cold. She had been driving for several days, and now she was in the car tent, and she didn't feel the slightest warmth, so she had to hold her body up. I asked Zhao Ziyang if I could light up a small bonfire. The few people who saw Zhao Ziyang's bow stance in the valley already knew that this man was very capable. Even Qin Xiu, who had always been very tough-minded, had to admit that if he had to deal with an opponent dozens of times his own, he could still kill him. There is a way out, but compared with Zhao Ziyang's understatement of killing skills, it is still not enough. Therefore, whenever there is a big or small incident, Zhao Ziyang needs to be reported vaguely. Even if he doesn't like this person again, he still wants to leave alive. When you get to the capital, you have to speak kind words no matter what.
While the woman was walking unsteadily to the car tent, Zhao Ziyang had already used the knife in his hand to dig open the soft soil and snow that had not yet solidified around him, dug out a thin groove and lit a fire, but there was no smoke or dust, and there was a vague feeling. The smoke and dust penetrated into the dead leaves of the fine groove along the end of the fine groove, leaving no trace.
"Can you light a bonfire tonight? It seems that I have caught the wind and cold. Even in the car tent, I feel cold all over my body." The woman was still very reluctant to say anything to Zhao Ziyang, but she still put on some clothes and sat down until she was just born. It was rare to feel some warmth by the campfire, so I ignored my complicated thoughts and whispered.
There was no reply for a long time, and when he looked up again, Zhao Ziyang had already placed an old ginger he found somewhere next to the water bag, crushed the juice out of it with the handle of the knife, squeezed it all into the water bag, and placed it next to the campfire, haha With a smile, "I want to stay warm, but I still want to live. The road to the capital is not far, but it is even more difficult to get there." Although his words were cold and harsh, Zhao Ziyang still handed the already warm water bag to the woman. In his arms, he asked the latter to warm his hands first, and then pour the ginger water down when it was no longer hot. It was no worse than baking over a fire.
"Where did you learn your skills? You are much younger than Qin Xiu, but you seem to have greater skills than him. This has been rare for many years." The woman with clear and stern features sat down, holding the water bag, Asking for no reason. There is always a shortage of capable people in the world, but I have never seen someone like Zhao Ziyang who is not a master but is a real master. Although his temperament is blunt and unpleasant, if you want to judge your ability, forgive me. Even I can't fault it at all.
"Taught by master, taught by seniors, taught by Jianghu," the woman originally did not intend to listen to Zhao Ziyang's serious words, but the latter raised his fingers and said, "If I have to tell you a reason, it is probably because my master is very capable. Gao, the seniors are also very capable and have lived in the world for a long time, so they can learn this skill. At first, I thought that I was already very high, but looking back, it seems that I am always a little bit shy and reluctant. It’s good enough, but I can’t even call it a master.”
"Qin Xiu's posture is not bad, but it's a pity that he is following the path in the military formation. If he leaves the army, he will definitely achieve a lot. It does not mean that the tactics in the military formation are worse than those in the Jianghu, but they are better. Apart from the dregs and complexity, every move is aimed at killing people, but you might as well think about it. At the beginning of practicing martial arts and self-cultivation, not many people actually care about killing. In this case, there must be some constraints."
Zhao Ziyang lay down lazily, putting the thick blanket on his shoulders without hesitation, and looked at the sun and the full moon. He was very talkative for the first time. Without the woman having to say anything, he pointed out the origin of Qin Xiu.
"With your ability, there is no need to take on such a job. Since you have already guessed that this situation will happen, you still want to take on the business. Why?" The water bag cooled very quickly, and the woman poured the still warm water into it. In my throat, the pungent ginger juice immediately rushed into my nose and throat, almost inducing hot sweat all over my body. Instead, I felt much better than before, so I had no intention of leaving for the time being. I sat next to the bonfire that had not added firewood for a long time, and the fire turned red. The firewood is nearly burned out.
This is true. If Zhao Ziyang wanted to do it, most of the businesses in the world that were related to martial arts could be involved. This would not lead to a near-death business. Zhao Ziyang, who was very shrewd along the way, shouldn't have thought about it. But the account is not coming.
"I have been practicing spear training for a long time, but I am still not as good as I wanted. I am more than a little bit better than before, but I am still a little stretched." Zhao Ziyang lay down comfortably, rarely looking directly at the woman beside him, "Personally speaking, it can not only sharpen my skills, but also It's a good deal to get a generous sum of money. Moreover, I haven't set foot in Xia Song Capital for a long time. I heard that the recent disturbances are very unusual. I took this opportunity to go and have a look, killing two birds with one stone. As for the truth, you have nothing to do with it. When a weak woman with no strength went to the capital, she knew that there were so many difficulties and obstacles, but she was very strong-minded. Although she was a little narrow-minded, and she didn't like what she did, she still had some courage and boldness, so she helped me easily, and she might be able to get away with it in the future. A familiar face and a few extra helping hands would be an unexpected blessing."
"Then I would like to ask, why did you only take Qin Xiu on this journey of life and death, while the other person had to choose from the rivers and lakes? If I am the retainer of the person who tried hard to prevent you from entering Beijing, and left many traces along the way, then I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it to the capital this time.”
"The plan almost failed and the Luoxia Gang and the Rouge Gang were two very powerful bandits outside the customs. If such people have flaws in their virtues, then I am afraid there will never be any chivalrous people in this world." The woman swallowed the ginger. Shui frowned slightly, but then smiled and said, "There are many things that are not convenient to say directly. When I enter the capital, the little lady will naturally tell the story to the young hero. But the most important thing now is to ask the young hero to tell me The two of them will be sent to the capital safely, and we will talk about anything else later."
Seemingly lacking interest, Zhao Ziyang yawned and waved his hand, "Don't trust me too much. I'm rarely reliable. Maybe next time I encounter hundreds of people, I'll just run away. Although the remaining Ninety percent of the money may not be in your hands, but it is better than losing your life."
"It's nothing. I rarely admit it to people. Although it may not be a big thing, it's not a small matter either." To Zhao Ziyang's expectation, the woman, who was already very good-looking, suddenly had a very thick smile on her face. He handed the bag back, raised his shoulders and stretched his waist, smiled again at the stunned Zhao Ziyang, and then slowly walked back to the car tent.
Zhao Ziyang was left with his head resting on the big gun, silently pondering for a long time, and finally he was amazed.
Big or small things, if squeezed by the situation, are not trivial, and cannot be said to be spectacular, but it still feels like one step and three tremors. Fortunately, I have some ability, otherwise I really wouldn't have seen such a scene.
From the first time they met, Zhao Ziyang felt that the woman's temperament was not very pleasing, not to mention that the little maid she brought was even more stupid and kind. As a result, Zhao Ziyang did not want to talk to the two of them at all. At most, he only chatted with Qin Xiu for a few words. There are vicious and sinister tricks in the world, or a little inquiry about recent trivial matters in the capital, especially about a master of calligraphy and painting named Nian Pingzhi, but I didn't find out anything. After having a few words with the woman today, I felt that It may not be as bad as previously thought, at least he has a really good face, not to mention he seems to be quite broad-minded.
In the long, quiet night, with my head resting on my head and waiting for the light, I really have a lot of thoughts on my mind, but I still have to take care of the immediate things.
Ever since he left the gang and went to Nangong, walking through thousands of mountains and pine trees, Zhao Ziyang has always fallen asleep. Firstly because he was busy with many things, and secondly because he was taking care of everyone, but he rarely got a good night's sleep. However, every time he thought about it, The sound of wind and rain in the hut makes you always sleep peacefully. At first, I thought I would always be reminded of the shabby book given by my master, or the righteous and poor brothers in the White Tiger Gang who were obviously skinny and ugly, but as time went by, I couldn't deceive myself no matter what. When the gun is held forward, it feels like there is no obstacle in the mountains and the water is level. But when the gun is put away, it feels like all kinds of thoughts that should not be there are filling up the mind.
Only then did he realize that what he had been thinking about all along was not the sound of wind and rain in the dilapidated hut, but the sound of the window panes turning, but the whispers that had not been heard for many years.
I don’t know if my master and senior brother are okay, I don’t know if my stupid junior brother has woken up, I don’t know if Nian Pingzhi will be exposed to all kinds of troubles in the capital, I don’t know if my parents who have never met before are still okay, and I don’t know if they will be fine this year. There are pine trees in the mountains, and there is still snow like never before.
I don’t know if the woman who left without saying goodbye can live peacefully.
The world is so small, so small that you can’t take care of a few things. The world is so big, so big that if two people take a quick glance, they will never know when they will meet again.
The north wind was blowing and it was quite cold.
