This is strange. Along the way, these martial arts people are all flocking to the Xixia King's City like they are going to a fair. This is the first time I have seen such people turning back.
Not long after, several carriages passed by. The people sitting on the carriages were all disheveled, with more or less scars on their bodies, and some even had blood dripping from them. It was obvious that they had not been injured for a long time.
Murong Fu's heart moved, he thought of some possibility, and couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.
"What happened to them? They seemed to have fought with someone?" Ruan Xingzhu couldn't help but ask as several groups of carriages left in despair.
"I guess someone must have set up a private checkpoint in front of them to drive these people away in advance." Qin Hongmian said thoughtfully.
"Sister Qin is really smart as ice and snow." Murong Fu smiled faintly, acquiescing to her guess.
"Glib tongue, who wants you to flatter me?"
The three of them walked forward for a while, and the mountain road became narrower. At the end, only one person and one horse could pass through. After passing the corner, they saw a large group of people gathered in a wider place ahead, and there was a lot of noise.
One after another, the noise was endless.
"Hey, Ah Xing! Hong Mian!" Suddenly a very surprised voice came.
Murong Fu turned around and looked around, and was startled to see that it was Duan Zhengchun and his party of six or seven people.
At this moment, their carriage was stuck on the mountain road, and they could only get out and walk forward.
In addition to Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu, the four ministers, Dao Baifeng and Kang Min were all there.
Murong Fu glanced at Kang Min, and was startled for a moment. The look he looked at Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but be a little more meaningful. He originally thought that after the experience that day, Duan Zhengchun and Kang Min would have completely fallen out, but now Kang Min
It was a little bird sitting next to Duan Zhengchun like a human being.
"This Kang Min really has a lot of skills..." Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh.
Duan Zhengchun seemed to notice something strange in Murong Fu's eyes, and his expression was slightly unnatural, but he felt a little strange in his heart. Qin Hongmian was not at the scene that day, and Ruan Xingzhu disappeared for no reason afterwards, so how could he be with Murong Fu today.
However, he still bowed his hand towards Murong Fu and said, "It turns out that Mr. Murong is here, so Duan is polite."
Murong Fu returned the gift with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, but Emperor Duan still has his charming demeanor."
Duan Zhengchun appeared here, and he was not too surprised. Although Princess Yinchuan was chosen to choose her son-in-law, she said that the marriage had to be decided by the royal family. Duan Zhengchun wanted to facilitate the marriage between Duan Yu and Princess Yinchuan. He was the nominal emperor of Dali Kingdom.
If you come here in person, the portion will be more substantial.
"Don't dare, don't dare..." Duan Zhengchun was almost polite, but his eyes wandered on Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu, and finally couldn't help asking, "Axing, Hongmian, why are you here?"
"Why, you can come, but your concubines and beauties can come, but we can't come?" Qin Hongmian, as always, became jealous when she saw Duan Zhengchun.
Ruan Xingzhu's face turned red, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "I searched for Ah Zi all the way, and met Mr. Murong, so I joined him. I don't know if God will bless me and allow me to find Ah Zi."
When mentioning Ah Zi, Duan Zhengchun also sighed slightly. After all, they are his biological daughters. They have suffered a lot by leaving them alone these years. He immediately promised, "Don't worry, Ah Xing, I will do my best and do whatever it takes.
We must also find Ah Zi and make amends to her."
"Huh!" At this moment, a faint cold snort sounded, it was Dao Baifeng.
Duan Zhengchun smiled coquettishly and couldn't help but ask, "Axing, Hongmian, since we are destined to meet each other, how about we go together with you?"
"This..." Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu both hesitated and glanced at Murong Fu.
Duan Zhengchun also said that it was difficult for the two of them to speak out because they were thinking of traveling together, so he rushed to Murong Fu and said, "If you don't abandon me, we can take care of each other when we are together."
Murong Fu pondered for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I have other important matters on this trip and it is not convenient for me to join you. The two ladies can stay or leave as they please."
Duan Zhengchun looked slightly suffocated, and then secretly rejoiced. He was really afraid that Murong Fu would agree. For some reason, he always felt invisible pressure when Murong Fu was around.
Qin Hongmian and her two daughters suddenly felt sorry, but when they saw that Murong Fu's expression showed no signs of abnormality, they nodded slightly in agreement.
Even though Murong Fu felt a little reluctant to give up, he could only agree. He did not lie. The main purpose of this trip to Xixia was to confirm Li Qiushui's attitude, completely control the military power of Xixia, and formulate a battle plan to contain Mongolia from the side. He
It is necessary to go to the palace first, and it is not very convenient to take the two daughters with you.
At this moment, a roaring sound came from the front, "Prince Zongzan has an order: This pass is temporarily closed for three months. Women can't pass men, monks can't pass seculars, old and young can't pass, and dead and alive can't pass. This is four over four."
but."
Immediately afterwards, the crowd became excited, and the trend seemed to become more and more intense.
When Duan Zhengchun and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Your Majesty, young prince, this Prince Zongzan is so arrogant that he dares to set up a private gate to block people who want to run for the Prince Consort. Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage?" Zhu Dancheng said with a hint of ridicule.
"That is, if the King of Xixia is dissatisfied, I'm afraid no one will be in a good position." Chu Wanli said.
Duan Zhengchun pondered for a long time, but then smiled and shook his head, "This may or may not be the tacit approval of the Emperor of Xixia. After all, this time is not a competition of skills in the ring, but a battle of wits and courage. Although Prince Zongzan's method is not on the stage,
It’s quite practical.”
Then he turned to Murong Fu and said, "Mr. Murong, I will go over first to check the situation. Master, please help yourself."
"It doesn't matter, I want to go there too." Murong Fu said with a smile.
Immediately, a group of people walked towards the crowd, and before long, they had arrived at the outskirts of the crowd.
Duan Zhengchun and others were concerned about their appearance and did not dare to squeeze in, but Murong Fu walked in on his own. Wherever he passed, he clearly did not come into contact with anyone, but those people even stepped aside automatically.
They themselves are completely unaware of it.
When Murong Fu came to the front, he saw a middle-aged man on the mountain road and two burly men.
The two big men blocking the road were more than six feet tall, with bare arms, big shoulders and round waists, and muscles all over their bodies. They each held two large hammers. Visually, they weighed at least fifty kilograms each.
The middle-aged man was thin. Although he used a set of elegant and agile swordsmanship in his hands, he still couldn't sustain two moves and was hit on the waist by one of the big men.
"Bang!" a heart-wrenching sound sounded. The middle-aged man was thrown out, his body was doubled, and he fell to the ground. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. For a while, no one dared to step forward. The positions chosen by the two big men were quite narrow. Their bodies were just right to stand in a circle, and the people who passed the barrier were the most.
It can only accommodate two or three people, but looking at this posture, ordinary two or three people cannot subdue this big man.
Seeing these two fierce men, Murong Fu couldn't help but think of the Kunlun slaves he had seen on Xia Ke Island. This kind of humanoid beast was simply a weapon of war. Unfortunately, the method of cultivating Kunlun slaves was too bloody and cruel, and the cost was extremely high.
, Murong Fu gave up this idea.
"Hey, you two gentlemen," suddenly, a slender little beggar, wearing shabby gray clothes and a felt hat, stood up and said flatteringly, "You are all tired, maybe I can give you a blow."
Fan, cool down?"
As he said that, he grabbed a fan from the hand of a young man next to him and walked towards the two of them.
When Murong Fu heard this voice, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He carefully looked at the back of the little beggar, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The two big men were indifferent. Seeing the little beggar approaching within a few feet, they made a "crack" sound and raised the hammers in their hands, "Get out, take another step forward and you will die."
"Two gentlemen, I don't have the power to tie a chicken, so I don't have much ability. I'm just here to see the world, and I have no idea about Princess Yinchuan." The little beggar stood still and said in a very pitiful tone.
.
"Get out!" the two big men shouted again.
"I heard that Prince Zongzan is the most promising, mighty, and talented prince in Tubo. My admiration for him is like the endless river. I wonder if Prince Zongzan is nearby and can he allow me to admire his holy face.
, even if it’s just a glance from a distance.”
What he said was sincere and sincere, just like a brainless admirer of Prince Zongzan.
After hearing this, the two big men's expressions softened a lot, "His Royal Highness is in Daxing City, not here."
"Then can you let the little one go? Do you think it is possible for the little one to win the favor of Princess Yinchuan with his appearance?" the little beggar said.
Unexpectedly, the big man shook his head numbly and said, "No, the prince has an order. Four people can't do it. You are neither a monk nor a woman, nor an old man. I can't let you pass alive."
"You're so stupid!" The little beggar seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. He cursed in a clear voice, stepped forward suddenly, waved his hand and shot out a stream of green mist, split into two in the middle, and rushed towards the two big men.
Everyone couldn't help but stare at this scene blankly, and then they were overjoyed. The mist looked like some kind of extremely toxic toxin, let's see how they could resist it.
The two big men refused to dodge the green mist and swung their big hammers at the little beggar.
"Ah!" Ruan Xingzhu couldn't help exclaiming and worried, "How can that little man resist such a big hammer?"
The little beggar was very flexible. He twisted his waist slightly, moved his body out of the way, and looked at the two big men with a smile, "Humph, I dare to underestimate my aunt's poison, let you have a taste of it."
But to his disappointment, the two big men were wrapped in poisonous mist for two or three breaths, but there was no sign of poisoning at all, and they were still alive and well.
"How is that possible?" This time it was the little beggar's turn to be surprised. Except for that person, he had never seen anyone who was not afraid of poison.
No matter what the two big men were thinking, the man on the left suddenly jumped up and struck a hammer in the air. The fierce wind made the man breathless, while the other man picked up the sledgehammer and rotated it, hitting the little boy.
The beggar was surrounded by an area of several feet, clearly intending to cut off her escape route.
This time the little beggar seemed a little panicked and shouted hurriedly, "Wait a minute, I am a woman, I am a woman, you can't hurt me, otherwise my brother-in-law will kill you all."
