Jiang Shuo suddenly heard a strong wind coming from behind. It turned out that it was Ge Ruliang who saw Jiang Shuo mounting his horse. He was anxious and launched a series of fierce moves, forcing Hun Weiming to take a step back. Taking advantage of the gap in this step, Ge Ruliang shot sideways and shot Nan Jiyun. He and Lu Jiong launched attacks at the same time, hitting him on the right flank and tapping on his left shoulder, both of which were sure to save him. However, Ge Ruliang was as powerful as a mad tiger and did not avoid the two attacks, and the two hit him with fists. At this moment, Ge Ruliang couldn't bear to harm him, so he stopped his strength. Ge Ruliang leaned forward and continued to charge towards Jiang Shuo.
Ge Ruliang's Qinggong was so amazing. As soon as he put it to use, he left the three people surrounding him behind with just a few ups and downs. The "Jade Ding Hay Yellow" just started running not very fast and was about to be overtaken. However, all good horses are born with a desire to win. When the old horse heard someone approaching from behind, it neighed, its hooves flew into the air and started to gallop. It immediately separated a few positions from Ge Ruliang. Ge Ruliang gathered his energy and chased after him. He got closer again, but he didn't know that the old horse also got stronger when it encountered a strong force. The more he fought, the braver he became. Under full gallop, he actually pushed Ge Ruliang farther away. Ge Ruliang was also really good at kung fu. With a long roar, he was getting closer again.
Just as he was about to catch up, a white shadow suddenly flashed past Ge Ruliang. The figure was so fast that Ge Ruliang didn't see it clearly. However, when he saw someone slapped his chest with his palm, he was startled and raised his palm to catch it. , but where is the person? He hit the air with a palm, and his breath was suffocated. With just this breath, a gap of more than ten feet opened between Ge Ruliang and the old horse. Jiang Shuo lay on the horse and hugged the old horse's neck tightly. Looking back tremblingly, he vaguely saw the figure of a man in white standing on the driftwood on the river that day. However, the figure suddenly came and went away carelessly, and he did not look carefully. He only saw Ge Ruliang's figure getting further and further away, gradually becoming I hit a black spot and could no longer catch up.
Jiang Shuo was lying on the horse, but felt the wind blowing in his ears. However, although the horse was running vigorously, it was not bumpy and bumpy. Therefore, although his driving skills were not good, he would not fall off the horse. The horse seemed to know the danger behind it. , galloping faster and faster. After a moment, I looked back and saw that the villa had shrunk into a dim light. The sound of fighting and shouting could no longer be heard. The surrounding bamboo forest blocked the starry sky, and it was pitch black except for the sound of dancing bamboo forest. , there was only the gasping sound of one person and one horse. Only then did Jiang Shuo remember that he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xiang'er.
Just like this, the horse ran without rein for who knows how long. The old horse had already run out of the bamboo forest. The trees on the roadside gradually became sparse. Through the canopy of the trees, he saw that the sky gradually turned white, and soon it became brighter. Jiang Shuo saw that the sun was rising from behind, and he knew At this moment, the horse was running towards the west. After a while, he saw a big river appearing on the right side, and the horse ran along the south bank of the river. This Jade-topped Hay Yellow was originally a good horse, but it was rescued from the river by a group of heroes that day. , so he kept him in the stables of Xixi Villa. Pu Gu Huai En fed him very well, but the old horse hadn’t run so freely for a long time. When it saw Jiang Shuo, it didn’t restrain it and became even more excited, even though it had been running for several times. After an hour, I still didn't feel tired and continued walking westward along the river.
Jiang Shuo was in shock while riding on the horse. Although Mrs. A Chu told him that he would let the horse gallop all night, and it was already daytime, he had witnessed Master Ge's unrivaled lightness skills, and he did not dare to rein in the horse even if he was afraid that he would catch up. In fact, Ge Ruliang No matter how high the Qinggong is, when the manpower is finally exhausted, the horse has already run a hundred or two hundred miles and still can't catch up. But Jiang Shuo doesn't know. Seeing that the old horse is still running without fatigue, he naturally hopes that it will run farther and farther. good.
In less than an hour, the terrain gradually rose, the river became thinner, the peaks on both sides of the river were facing each other, and they had entered the mountains. The old horse ran along the mountain road even though it was not as fast as on the flat ground, but it was still very fast. Jiang Shuo stayed on the horse for several hours, gradually getting used to the ups and downs of the horse. He lay on the horse no longer fearfully. He sat up straight and admired the scenery along the coast. However, he saw that the wind and smoke on the river were clear, and the sky and water were the same color. The river is clear and clear, and you can see fish swimming in the water. Then you can see the mountains on both sides of the river vying for heights, with thousands of peaks. There are many big trees on the mountains. Although it is early summer, there is no trace of heat under the cover of the lush trees. It is very pleasant to hear the chirping of birds and the thousands of chirping cicadas in my ears. Jiang Shuo thought that the river scenery in this mountain was like the scenery along the Fuchun River described in Wu Jun's "Books with Zhu Yuan" of the Southern Dynasties. The Fuchun River was no less than a hundred miles away from Jianhu Lake in Yuezhou. He didn't expect that the old horse had run so far away. He had traveled so far last night. Except for a moment of coma, I didn't sleep anymore. I had been in fear all the way since I escaped from Xixi Villa. Now I relaxed a little and felt exhausted. After being bumpy for a while, I fell asleep on the horse.
Jiang Shuo woke up again. The sun had set in the west. The gorges, rivers and blue valleys had disappeared. The old horse had stopped running. He was drinking water by a lake. He rode on the horse and looked around. The lake was so big. Under the sunset Looking to the west, he saw the turbulent lake reaching the horizon. Jiang Shuo slid down the old horse's neck. When his feet were firmly on the ground, he felt that his legs were weak. He thought it was because he had been riding on the horse for too long. Jiang Shuo saw two leather bags hanging on the back of the saddle. He took them off and opened them. Inside one leather bag was a piece of silk and a small cloth bag. There were about a hundred copper coins in the bag. It turned out to be a package prepared for him. Inside a skin bag were some replacement clothes and a pack of dry food. The clothes were all made by Xun Ni when he lived in the village. The dry food was a pack of cage cakes, which Xun Ni also prepared. When I saw Xun Ni, since she had prepared these things, she naturally knew about it. As a servant in the village, she could not come out to confront the master, so she could only silently help her prepare her luggage.
Jiang Shuo was already hungry after running around for a day. He took out a steamed bun and took a bite. It was stuffed with green onions and mutton, his favorite. The juice flowed after one bite. Although it was cold, he still felt it was delicious. Then he continued Thinking of how Xun Ni had taken great care of me during the few months she had lived in the villa, but had no chance to say goodbye to her before leaving, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to return to Xixi Villa again. Xun Ni, Xiang'er, Mrs. Achu, etc. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears as he ate and cried. Finally, he couldn't help but sit on the ground and burst into tears.
Just at this time, an old man riding a donkey passed by. The old man said strangely: "Why are you sitting here crying? Is the cage cake not delicious?"
Jiang Shuo glared at him and said, "The cage cakes made by Xun Ni are the most delicious."
But he had a large piece of cage cake in his mouth, his face was covered with tears and runny nose, and he was slurring his words. When the old man saw this, he burst out laughing and said, "It turns out he is a little savage who can't speak."
Jiang Shuo rubbed his neck, swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his face with his sleeve, wiped away his tears, and said angrily: "I am not a little savage."
The old man became even happier and said, "It turned out that I can talk, so why are you crying?"
Jiang Shuo said, "I feel sorry for myself, and I don't want you to worry about it."
The old man said: "Hey, this is wrong. When the road is uneven, someone will plow it, and when things are unfair, someone will take care of it. If you are bullied by someone, just tell Master Zhao, I will make the decision for you."
Jiang Shuo said: "No one bullies me."
The old man said: "Then why are you crying?"
Jiang Shuo said: "There are twists and turns, I can't explain it in one sentence."
When the old man heard this, he was so excited that he sat cross-legged on the spot, put his hands on his knees and said, "It's okay, Master Zhao, I have plenty of time. Please tell me from the beginning."
He kept calling himself "Master". When Jiang Shuo looked up, he saw that the old man was thin and had white beard and hair. He seemed to be an octogenarian, but he had fair hair and a childish face with not many wrinkles. His complexion was rosy and full of energy. The old man wore a green cloth scarf and a gray robe. He looked like a teacher. This outfit reminded Jiang Shuo of Master Ge, and he naturally became wary of the "master" in front of him. , shook his head and said: "We don't know each other. Master, you are very bored and you can go and have fun elsewhere."
Master Zhao said, "That's not possible. You aroused my curiosity but didn't tell me anything. Wouldn't you be suffocating me to death? I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die."
Seeing that he was entangled, Jiang Shuo didn't want to tangle with him anymore, so he stood up and started to leave. He was sitting next to the old horse, and when he reached out to grab the reins, Master Zhao was already standing between him and the old horse. In the meantime, he said: "Don't leave."
Jiang Shuo didn't answer, and used the Star-crossing Step technique to get past the old man. The person who stepped out was Shisu Xinggong among the seven places in the North Xuanwu. As he flashed by, Master Zhao unexpectedly stood with his right foot diagonally across, blocking Jiang Shuo's next step.
Jiang Shuo saw the opportunity very quickly and jumped to the left, changing to the wing position among the seven Suzakus in the south. The Suzaku's walking position was the most erratic, and his footwork was wide open and closed. Not to mention a thin old man, he was just a tree with two or three people. The big tree hugging each other could be bypassed immediately. Unexpectedly, Master Zhao took a step across and happened to be blocking the path that Jiang Shuo must pass. There are twenty-two star officials in this wing, and the star map connects the left and right like a Kunpeng spreading its wings. Seeing that the path was blocked, Jiang Shuo immediately jumped out in the opposite direction. Master Zhao also changed his direction and took a step, blocking his way again. Jiang Shuo charged three times according to the Yisu footwork, but Master Zhao accurately cut off his path and blocked his way back. The two formed an inner and outer circle with the old horse as the center. Jiang Shuo ran as fast as a shooting star in the outer circle, but Master Zhao was as slow as a stroll in the inner circle, but he could block Jiang Shuo every time.
Jiang Shuo jumped back on his toes, but this time it was Osu, one of the seven dragons in the East. The Canglong steps use advancement to retreat and retreat to advance. This Osu does not advance but retreats at first, attracting the enemy to pursue. Traveling again, there are nine-star officials in Ojuku. There is no program. Each star official can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. The changes are endless. Jiang Shuo stepped back, and Master Zhao indeed stepped forward. Jiang Shuo felt happy and said to him. He fell into the trap, but just when he was about to turn retreat into advance, he found that Master Zhao was no longer walking slowly, but was approaching as fast as lightning. He had already occupied the place to stay forward. Jiang Shuo had no choice but to retreat. Master Zhao followed him like a shadow, stepping on his every step to retreat. Jiang Shuo took ten steps back, and Master Zhao took ten steps forward. He actually forced Jiang Shuo two or three feet away from the old horse. Out of bounds.
Jiang Shuo's footwork was changed again, to Rigel, one of the seven white tigers in the West. The white tiger's leap up and down was the most vigorous. Jiang Shuo lowered his body and rushed forward as if he wanted to get under Mr. Zhao's side. Mr. Zhao was even more powerful. Jiang Shuo was tall and his waist was naturally in the way. Jiang Shuo looked at the opportunity and jumped up. He was about to fly over Master Zhao's head. He didn't want Master Zhao to know that he had this trick. He stretched his body and raised one hand up, Now the fun was getting louder, Jiang Shuo was lifted into the air by Master Zhao, lying sideways.
