"The end will come later, please forgive me, Miss!"
Wang Meng raised the spear in his hand, knelt down on one knee towards Sima Rou, and said with guilt on his face.
"General Wang, please get up quickly!" Sima Rou hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said bitterly, "Now I am no longer the governor's lady, but just a prisoner of the imperial court."
"In the heart of the general, Governor Sima will always be my lord." Wang Meng said firmly, "When my lord met with misfortune, the general could do nothing but watch him die in the imperial capital. Fortunately, we have found my lord's descendants now. I should do my best to protect the lady."
"General Wang, I heard that you were accidentally captured during the battle in the Imperial Capital and imprisoned." Sima Rou's eyes flashed with emotion, and then asked, "How did you escape?"
"Miss, I don't know. The imperial capital has experienced another change. It seems that the crown prince and the Minister of War caused some trouble." Wang Meng answered truthfully, "One day during the chaos, I don't know who took the opportunity to open the lock of the prison. Release all us prisoners."
"Is this happening?" A trace of surprise flashed in Sima Rou's eyes.
"These two brothers are Brother Dongda Mudong and Brother Wang Songliang from Leshan Sect." Wang Meng pointed at the two exaggerated young swordsmen behind him and said, "They are the close friends I made in the prison. , also possess the cultivation level of Heavenly Wheel."
"Thank you two heroes for your generous help." Upon hearing this, Sima Rou bowed slightly to the two men of Dongwang and gave a salute.
"Miss Sima is serious!"
Dong Damu and Wang Songliang quickly bent down and bowed. They felt that Miss Sima in front of them was beautiful, gentle, noble and dignified. Facing such a lady, they did not dare to lose their etiquette at all.
"General Wang, this is Brother Gui Mandrill." Sima Rou pointed to the silent Gui Mandrill next to him and introduced, "He is my... friend."
She didn't know how to define the relationship between herself and Mandrill for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, but finally called them "friends".
"You save my life, and I'll help you kill Zhong Wen, that's all." Gui Mandrill said coldly, "We can't be called friends."
Sima Rou's face froze, and she felt embarrassed because he had lost face in front of Wang Meng and others.
"Are you going to deal with Zhong Wen?" Wang Meng was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Gui Mandrill up and down, shook his head and said, "This man's strength is unfathomable. The Lord, who has the spiritual mastery, is dead." In his hands, I just saw that your Excellency is very powerful, but if you want to be an enemy of Zhong Wen, I'm afraid it's not enough."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Ghost Mandrill said disapprovingly.
"No, it's too risky for you to go and provoke Zhong Wen like this." Wang Meng objected categorically, "Your Excellency is not related to Wang, and you are free to do whatever you want, but you must never let Miss Follow along for the adventure!”
"Joke! This is her commission." Ghost Mandrill sneered, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Your Excellency acted recklessly and did not know how to make plans before taking action." Wang Meng couldn't help but get a little angry when she saw that he was stubborn, "Such a rampage, I'm afraid he would have been killed in the hands of Daqian officers and soldiers before he saw Zhong Wen, how could I Do you feel free to let the young lady follow you?"
"Do you want to die?" Ghost Mandrill said sadly.
"Aren't you afraid?" Wang Meng drew a spear with his right hand. Under the sun, the shining silver tip of the spear emitted a dazzling cold light, pointing directly at the ghost mandrill's chest.
"Very good, then I will help you." The middle finger and index finger of Ghost Mandrill's left hand came together and lightly flicked the surface of the long knife. The blade was instantly covered by black spiritual flames, and the scorching flames instantly raised the surrounding temperature. A big chunk.
"Brother Guizhao, General Wang, please stop." Sima Rou quickly stood between the two of them and urged in a anxious voice, "We are all our own people, why do we need to have a dispute of opinions?"
"Miss, Zhong Wen comes from Piaohua Palace. Not only is he very powerful, but he also has the support of several spiritual masters." Wang Meng said with a serious face, "Confronting him head-on at this time is tantamount to hurling an egg at a stone, which is definitely not the best strategy! "
"General Wang, I understand what you mean." A sad look appeared on Sima Rou's face, "It's just that now I have nothing, and I have long ignored life and death. If I can avenge my father's murder, I will die together with Zhong Wen. No regrets."
"Miss, please think twice!" Wang Meng said anxiously, "My master has a spirit in heaven, and he also hopes that you will live well. He never wants to see you give up on yourself like this!"
"I have made up my mind, general. There is no need to persuade you any more." Sima Rou's eyes were full of determination and hatred, "This assassination operation is too dangerous. I don't want to implicate you. General, please leave on your own with the two warriors. Just pretend you’ve never met me.”
Wang Meng didn't expect Sima Rou to be so determined, so she couldn't help but froze on the spot and didn't speak for a long time.
"Since Miss has made up her mind." After a long while, he slowly said, "Then I will go with you."
"General Wang, you..."
"Zhong Wen does not work alone. It is impossible to achieve anything by just relying on him as a reckless man." Wang Meng's eyes flashed with light, "You have to plan carefully to make sure that you hit the target with one blow, and the general will not be talented at the end, but he has quite a lot of experience in this aspect. Besides, having one more heavenly wheel can also increase your chances of winning, right?"
"General Wang, why are you doing this?" Sima Rou's eyes were slightly red, "When my father was alive, you were loyal and loyal to him. Speaking of which, our Sima family owes you more."
"Miss, the general has made up his mind!" Wang Meng said loudly, "Please don't try to persuade me any more."
"Okay." Sima Rou stretched out her snow-white catkins, gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "You just have to remember that if the situation goes wrong, run if you can, and never give up your life for me."
Wang Meng smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, she looked back at Dong Damu and Wang Songliang and said, "Brothers, Wang has something important to do and can no longer accompany you on your travels. We will see you later!"
"What did Brother Wang say?" Dong Damu and Wang Songliang looked at each other, and suddenly laughed and said, "You took great care of our brothers in the prison. Now we have to challenge a powerful enemy, how can the two of us do it?" If I stand by and watch, I will naturally help you.”
"That's right." Wang Songliang said, "Besides, the Leshan Sect has been wiped out by the Li family a long time ago, and we have all become homeless. We should support each other and tide over the difficulties!"
"Okay, good brothers!" Wang Meng's eyes flashed with tears of excitement, and she slapped the two of them on the shoulders. "With the help of two brothers, I feel more confident about this trip. Your kindness will never be forgotten by Wang." !”
"What are you doing with these wastes?" Ghost Mandrill frowned and said coldly, "They will only get in the way."
"Brother Ghost Mandrill!" A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Sima Rou's face.
"Your Excellency is extremely powerful, but you are brave and foolhardy." After having a clear goal, Wang Meng no longer cares about Gui Mandrill, but just smiled slightly and said, "Young lady is not experienced in the world, so you always need someone to make suggestions, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. .”
"I don't need it." Ghost Mandrill said coldly.
"If Wang is not mistaken, this long sword is not your favorite weapon, right?" Wang Meng did not refute, but just said to herself, "Besides, you are still injured. You will not have time to recover from your injuries when you are facing the pursuers all the way. The situation will only get worse, so how can we deal with Zhong Wen?"
"Of course I have a way." Gui Mandrill was stunned and didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he had to say harshly.
"The following chasing troops will be left to the three of us." Wang Meng laughed and said, "Your Excellency, first recover from your injuries, then find a suitable weapon, adjust the condition to the best, and then fight with Zhong Wen. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a field?”
"Brother Guizhao, what General Wang said is not unreasonable." Sima Rouye persuaded softly.
"As you wish." Gui Mandrill turned his head away proudly and ignored everyone, but he knew in his heart that what Wang Meng said was true.
"In that case, please come with me." Seeing that he no longer objected, Wang Meng smiled and nodded, "There is a hidden place nearby, and Daqian's army should not be able to find it for a while. "
"Here you go, General King Lao."
Sima Rou gently pulled Gui Mandrill's sleeve, moved lightly, and closely followed Wang Meng's pace.
The autumn sun shone down, casting a row of long shadows behind the five people walking side by side.
An assassination team targeting Zhong Wen was established.
*************************************************** ***************
In the early morning, there was a faint sadness permeating the Dala tribe's village.
The little girl Zhuma was hugging her parents, brothers and other clan members one by one, expressing her reluctance to say goodbye.
"Zhong Wen, I will ask you to take care of Zhuma." Not far away, Gan Muyun stood side by side with Zhong Wen, his eyes slightly moist, "She has liked to stick to me since she was a child. Our relationship is better than that of sisters. Dear, now that she is going on a long journey, it feels like a piece of my heart has been dug out, and I feel empty."
"I'm just going out to study. It's not like I'll never come back." Zhong Wen comforted her softly, "Besides, you have A Xue by your side. It won't take long to get to Southern Xinjiang Province. Whenever you miss her, you can come to Piaohua Palace to visit." yes."
"Yes, I'm being hypocritical." Gan Muyun chuckled, stretched out his white jade hand to wipe away the water from the corners of his eyes, "By the way, you have helped us so much, and there is nothing to give us when we say goodbye. I I heard sister Ning Jie talking about your love for classical books. A few days ago, my father had taken control of the Kuntu tribe’s territory and found out a few ancient books. No one here understands ancient sacred texts, so I thought I would leave them to you. To commemorate, please don’t refuse.”
After saying that, she suddenly took off a bundle from her back, spread it out, took out a few books, and handed them to Zhong Wen.
"Why are you so polite?" Zhong Wen was overjoyed and kept saying polite words, but his hands kept moving. He quickly took the books and blinked secretly.
"I found the 'spiritual pattern' book "Nine Dragons Qingtian". Do you want to include it? Yes/No."
"I found the 'Spiritual Skills' book "Blood Curse". Do you want to include it? Yes/No."
"I discovered the 'Spiritual Skills' book "Shenxing Wuji". Do you want to include it? Yes/No."
…
It’s true that good people are rewarded!
Zhong Wen carefully browsed the classical books handed over by Gan Muyun, and could hardly suppress his excitement. He felt that all the sacrifices he had made for the Dara tribe had paid off in an instant.
Just because this book "Nine Dragons Holding the Sky" is a very popular method of arranging mountain-protecting formations in ancient times. After getting this book, the task 3 "Deployment of Mountain-protecting Spiritual Pattern Arrays" released in "Xinhua Sutra Pavilion" ”, even if it is settled.
The "Blood Curse" is a diamond-level curse-like spiritual skill. Although the level is not high, it possesses mysterious and strange power. It can kill people thousands of miles away without leaving any trace. The little girl Zhuma from the evil body came to practice, and the effect was even more amazing.
As for the other magical skill "Shenxing Wuji", it is a method of fast movement. It is said that after practicing this method, even an ordinary practitioner can travel thousands of miles a day, and his speed is not inferior to that of a spiritual practitioner. birds.
nice one!
"I won't be polite to you about these books." Zhong Wen happily put the ancient books into his arms, nodded slightly to Gan Muyun and said, "Don't worry about Zhuma, I will definitely take good care of her, no Let the little girl feel a little wronged."
"I believe you." Gan Muyun stared at Zhong Wen with his clear and bright eyes, a slight blush on his fair cheeks, and said softly.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him who combined the spirit of heaven and earth, Zhong Wen felt quite complicated.
After a month of getting along, he could feel that Gan Muyun had feelings for him that were somewhat more than a friend. However, this flower from the Dara tribe had a pure mind and a calm temperament, and did not take the initiative to pierce the veil.
And Zhong Wen didn't want to cause any more love debts, so the two always maintained this "friend" relationship until they parted.
"Ayun, I'm leaving!" Zhong Wen said calmly, "See you later."
"Yes." Gan Muyun's voice was very soft, "Take care."
Not far away, Ning Jie's eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.
Looking at the leaving figures of Zhong Wen, Ning Jie and the little girl Zhuma, Gan Muyun's eyes showed a trace of reluctance, but it was fleeting.
Above the three retreating figures, a golden fierce bird flapped its wings and flew high, exuding a majestic aura...
