The stream where the Yiluo River camp is located is a tributary of the weak falling water. Li Huaixiu has already pointed out the path to Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang. They only need to follow the stream all the way east, and when they encounter a big river, they can go eastward for a hundred miles in the direction of the current. In Weidian City, you will never get lost.
The two horses galloped for a while, and saw rugged rocks on the river bank and rugged roads in the forest. Jiang Shuo was afraid of hurting the horses' hoofs and feet, so he shouted and asked the two horses to go slowly. Anyway, Huaixiu said that the reedy land was only a hundred miles away. Apart from that, it was only half a day's journey for the two horses, so they just let the horses go slowly and chatted on the horses.
Dugu Xiang said: "Brother Shuo, grandpa knows that Gao Bujie is not a good person. Last time he was tricked into capturing Nie Li. How could he listen to Gao Bujie and follow him to the east this time?"
Jiang Shuo said, "I don't understand either. Could it be that you are taking him to see An Lushan?"
Dugu Xiang said: "Grandpa never likes to deal with people from the official family, let alone An Lushan? It's not like Gao Bujie saw through Nie Li's plan and dragged grandpa to arrest him again, right?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Is this impossible? Grandpa already knew that he caught Nie Li by mistake last time, how could he fall for the same trick twice?"
Dugu Xiang didn't want to waste his brains. He immediately put his hands behind his head and said, "Whatever, it will be clear after you find grandpa anyway."
Jiang Shuo nodded and said, "I heard from Sister Zhu'er that this high-risk man is instigating An Lushan to rebel every day. He is a great evil man who fears that the world will be unstable. If we encounter him this time, we cannot let him go easily." He secretly made up his mind. , You can't be merciful to such a big woman who does great evil.
Dugu Xiang said: "Speaking of which, I don't know where Sister Zhu'er is now. Did you say she has arrived in Songmo? Maybe her horse's legs are not as strong as our mounts, so she hasn't arrived yet?"
Jiang Shuo pondered: "We took such a long detour to Feihuxing, so I guess she won't arrive later than us, but she once said that I could meet her naturally at the Governor's Mansion in Songmo."
Dugu Xiang said: "That's not necessarily the case. She may not have known at that time that Brother Huaixiu would give up his teeth without even seeing a fight." Since Jiang Shuo became brothers with Li Huaixiu, Dugu Xiang also called him eldest brother, and said "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Jingle either."
Jiang Shuo said, "I want to come to a safe place in the rear."
The two of them chatted casually and walked through the pine forest. Suddenly Jiang Shuo said to Dugu Xiang, "Xiang'er, listen."
At that time, the sun was rising in the sky, and the heat in the forest was gradually rising. There was not even a breath of wind. There was no sound except the gurgling of the river. Xiang'er asked, "What?"
Jiang Shuo said: "It's the sound of a flute, listen... over there..."
He took Dugu Xiang away from the river and walked a mile or two southeast. After leaving the river, Dugu Xiang could hear the faint sound of a flute. She turned back and glanced at Jiang Shuo. Everyone knows that Dugu Wen is a music-deaf person. If Gao Buwei visits a master flute player in the name of it, Dugu Wen will naturally follow him.
The sound of the flute came from afar, and the music seemed to contain endless sadness. Although Jiang Shuo was not familiar with music, he also knew that the person playing the flute was by no means an ordinary person. Even if Dugu Wen was not there, he would still be attracted by the sound of the flute. In the past, there was nothing wrong with following the sound of the flute.
Shuo and Xiang followed the sound of the flute for another two miles but they didn't arrive yet. Jiang Shuo said, "The sound of this flute can travel really far. It seems that the player is also a master of the field. Xiang'er, don't you think so?" Could it be Chang'an Li Ji who played the flute on Rijian Lake?"
Dugu Xiang's grandfather and grandfather are both masters of music. She has been influenced by hearing and seeing since she was a child, and her knowledge of music is much better than Jiang Shuo's. She immediately shook her head and said: "It's definitely not Li Shi. The exciting sound of Li Shi's flute is still that of a young person." In terms of character, the sound of this person's flute is desolate, as if he has seen everything in the world being cold and desolate. He should be an old man."
Jiang Shuo was speechless and said, "I can't hear that..." He was suddenly startled and said, "Ah, could it be Beimingzi?" Thinking of this, he galloped on his horse, just wanting to meet him as soon as possible. This flute player.
After turning a short hill, I saw a valley in front of me. The pines and cypresses inside seemed lush and beautiful as if they had been pruned by humans. There were also strange rocks, exotic flowers, and trickling mountain streams dotting the valley, making it look like a small peach garden. Normally, the two of them were looking at each other in awe when they suddenly heard someone scolding them: "You're rude, get off your horse quickly!" They saw a group of warriors dragging down the river appear from behind the rocks.
Shuo and Xiang were not surprised when they saw Yiluohe.
On the contrary, they were happy to know that Gao Buwei and Dugu Wen had brought seven warriors with them when they left. This group of warriors was exactly seven people, forming a small seven-star formation. They were probably Gao Buwei's retinue. .
Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang didn't answer. They jumped off their horses and attacked from head to tail. In an instant, all seven people's acupuncture points were tapped. Each of the seven people were like clay sculptures, waving weapons, but they were all frozen in place. . Dugu Xiang laughed and said, "Brother Shuo, I tapped the acupuncture points of four people, but I won again this time."
Jiang Shuo knew her character and didn't argue with her. He smiled slightly and took Xiang'er's hand into the valley. When the two entered the valley, they were shocked. They saw Dugu Wen sitting with his back against a crooked red pine tree, hugging his knees. He was listening with his eyes closed. He seemed not to have noticed the arrival of Shuo and Xiang. There was someone beside him. The old man sat cross-legged on the ground. He had the appearance of a worldly master with a fairy-like demeanor. He was probably in danger. The two held hands and looked very affectionate, but they both closed their eyes and said nothing. Listening to the sound of the flute.
However, there were more than just Gao Buwei and Dugu Wen in the valley. There was a big fat man sitting on a huge flat-headed rock not far from them. This fat man must have been quite fat. He probably weighed less than 400 kilograms. How many years ago, this man's beard and hair were as curled as a snake. He was a Hu man with nine surnames. His clothes were very splendid and rich. He seemed to be a wealthy Hu man. With him as the center, there were six men in black. These men in black seemed to be dragging The Luohe warriors all wore face armor, but they only wore black clothes without black armor. The weapons they carried were also different, not as uniform as the Luohe warriors. These people were wearing masks and could not see their faces clearly, but from their physical appearance, they could be seen to be five men and one woman.
There are two people standing behind the big fat man. On the left is a tough man, and on the right is a graceful girl. The man is wearing a black outfit like Luo Luohe, but his visor is dotted with a purple gem between his eyebrows. This gem becomes Olive-shaped, it looks like it has another eye. The girl was dressed in a black outfit, and the exposed neck was as white as snow. There was a white jade-like gemstone under the right eye of the visor. This white jade was not big, pear-shaped, and looked like a teardrop hanging on it. The two of them seemed to be the entourage of the fat Hu Shang, but they both put a hand on Hu Shang's shoulder, looking very affectionate and disrespectful, but Hu Shang didn't take it seriously and just stared. Listening intently to the flute music.
The other four people lined up behind them. Behind the girl was a huge, strong man with a round red gem inlaid under his left eye. If the white gem on the girl's cheek was like an unfallen teardrop, If so, the red gem in the eyes of this strong man looked like a splash of blood. Behind him is a tall and thin man, half a head taller than the strong man behind the girl. This man's faceplate is decorated with a square yellow gem at the base of his nose. From a distance, the bridge of his nose seems to be raised. , I don’t know how to look at it with a sense of joy.
There are two people standing behind the strong man on the other side. Their bodies are exactly the same, like a pair of twins. They have a right eyebrow and a left eyebrow each with a diagonal diamond-shaped gemstone, as if their eyebrows are flying. The color is one blue and one green.
These six people were dressed with an evil aura, and what was even weirder was that each of them put a hand on the shoulder of the person in front of them. Fortunately, it was broad daylight. If they bumped into each other at night, or in the dark forest, they would be scared out of their wits. No cold sweats.
The fat man Hu Shang and his six followers were in the middle. Dugu Wen and Gao Buwei were on the right. On the left was a Khitan man. He seemed to be not much older than Li Huaixiu. He was less than thirty years old and had a typical face. The Khitan man has a strong face, thin eyebrows and long eyes. His appearance is not handsome, but he still exudes a heroic spirit. He has a red fox tail tied in his braid, and although the clothes he wears are not as good as those of the fat Hu Shang The Khitan people are rich and noble, but they can be considered exquisite in their clothes. Jiang Shuo has been with the Khitan people for a long time in the past few days. Looking at his clothes, you can tell that this person must be a Khitan noble.
All these people are just spectators and listeners, but the real protagonist is standing on the largest rock in the center of the valley, playing flute music. This person is facing away from Shuo and Xiang at the moment. Although he is of medium height when viewed from behind , but his figure is tall and straight, he is wearing a green shirt and long robe that is well tailored, with a crown on his head and a broad belt. When he plays, the crown is swaying slightly and the clothes are fluttering. He looks like a dashing Han Confucian hermit. He is playing on the stone while playing. He turned around with the beat, and after a while, he turned to Shuo and Xiang, and looked at his face again. He had three strands of beard hanging down his chest, which made him look very handsome. However, this man's complexion was sallow, his muscles were stiff, and his eyes were
The nest is deep and ugly.
Dugu Xiang couldn't help being disappointed, and whispered to Jiang Shuo: "What a pity. Judging from his background, he is a handsome man. I didn't expect him to be so ugly."
The man seemed to have heard Dugu Xiang's words, and suddenly blew out a sharp high-pitched sound. Dugu Xiang covered his ears in fear and said, "I hate it!"
The man ignored her and continued to play. The flute in his hand was neither yellow nor green. It was yellow and white without luster. It seemed wide and narrow, crooked and rough in workmanship, as if it was not made of bamboo. The sound of the flute sounded even more gloomy and sinking at this moment. Ru was crying and complaining about her ugly appearance and miserable fate. After listening to the flute for a while, Dugu Xiang was greatly affected by the music of the flute. She also felt sad from it and shed tears unconsciously. She turned to face Jiang while crying. Shuo said: "Uuuuuuu... Brother Shuo, this person is so miserable..."
But he was surprised to find that Jiang Shuo had sat down cross-legged at some point and was concentrating on practicing his martial arts. Dugu Xiang suddenly realized that the flute music played by this person seemed to contain a very profound internal martial arts. Look at the Khitan man. Sitting there with empty eyes and cold sweat on his forehead; his grandfather Dugu Wen held Gao Bujie's hand, actually trying to calm his mind; the people behind the fat Hu Shang were holding hands and stringing together for the same reason, but The sadness on Hu Shang's face grew stronger, and he was afraid that the people behind him were not strong enough to hold him back. The six men in black were all wearing masks, and their expressions could not be seen, but looking at their serious expressions, I was afraid that Not easy.
Dugu Xiang suddenly felt that her heart was shaking, and she felt an indescribable feeling of boredom. Her chest seemed to explode. Just when her mind was about to be lost, Jiang Shuo suddenly reached out and took her hand. The inner energy was slowly injected into her body, and her mind immediately became stable, and her senses became clear again.
