The Anping Ferry on the south bank of the Wei River was bustling with people, with donkeys honking and horses neighing, mixed with the sound of people and cars. Business at the ferry inn was very good, and the sun was blazing, and no one would stay in the sun to warm themselves up.
It doesn't cost much to come in for a meal, a break and a sip of tea.
There are also people like Zhu Biao who came here at noon, just in time to have dinner.
The largest inn in the South Bank is called "Ping'an Old Inn", which has gained the fortune of Ping'an's transition. This inn has a spacious guest room and a large lobby. Now many people are crowded in to eat and rest. Zhu Biao is also here.
He seems to be willing to spend money on himself, staying in the best inns and eating in the best restaurants.
The folk customs in the northwest are open. Not only the shopkeeper of Ping'an's old store is here, but also the proprietress is not shy to show her face. She is more than thirty years old, has an apricot face and rosy cheeks, but has a beautiful face. She is wearing a royal blue pomegranate dress, but she does not have the slightest trace of travel dust.
Zhu Biao found a seat and sat down. Several merchants came and went, but no one was seen teasing or joking.
The dishes in the store are very rich, including chicken, mutton and fish. Zhu Biao ordered four bowls and four plates, plus a jar of good wine. Ordering so many dishes for one person attracted the attention of surrounding diners.
Zhu Biao didn't care at all about being in the spotlight. He was listening to the conversations of a wave of people two tables away.
There are only five people in this group, their strength is not very good, and the destination they talk about is not going to Xiyu.
"...That damn place sounds disgusting, but it burns well and is very satisfying!"
"That's what I say, but the devilish team in Wenxin Palace will not give up. In the past thirty years, in the Weizhou Wulin and the entire Western Xinjiang, who has dared to provoke them?"
"That's right. Wenxin Palace has been evil in the Western Xinjiang arena for hundreds of years. How many times has their ancestral court been burned down before? Didn't they build that ruined temple again? And whoever provokes their ancestral court doesn't care.
The background is open and aboveboard, but still sneaky. But I never escape."
"Wenxin Palace definitely has the secret technique to find people. Now...I think I still can't escape..."
Several big men said this while drinking. Zhu Biao finally figured it out. The place he went to the night before turned out to be a devil's cave.
The so-called Wenxin Palace does not mean that people are really boastful, but that they have that strength. For hundreds of years, a branch of the Demon Sect has been hiding in hiding, developing and growing, and finally ravaging the world and dominating one side.
Although under the general environment of Demon Xiao Taoist Priest, it was impossible for them to clearly establish the mountain gate at the foot of Bailong Mountain. They were destroyed and abandoned the ancestral court. However, the existence of the ancestral court has also become a problem for the people of Wenxin Palace and the Weizhou Baidao Jianghu forces over the years.
A point of struggle.
From a weak position to a stalemate, and then to a firm foothold, although Zhu Biao has no fondness for Wenxin Palace, he can't help but admire their toughness and luck. In such a fierce battle, he can develop his weak self to a greater level.
It’s really commendable to grow stronger!
Ask the Heart Palace. First, ask about your own heart, secondly, ask about the human heart, and thirdly, ask about the heart of heaven!
This is their teaching.
However, it is difficult to ask the heart of heaven, and the human heart is eager to ask. Everyone in the Asking Heart Palace is happy to pick out the human heart. There is a mechanism under the statue of the ancestral court, and there is a bottomless pit below, which is the place where the corpse is thrown. The fresh and bloody human heart is placed in the god
On the altar, offerings were made to heaven and ancestors.
The corpse smell he asked about at that time came from the ground.
The reason why the appearance is so shabby is because after Wenxin Palace emerged in the world, he was killed by righteous people because of his cruel methods and did not dare to show his face. The ancestral court was abandoned because of this, and this period lasted for more than ten years. When Wenxin Palace
After the disciples returned to the ancestral court again, they looked exactly like the tatters Zhu Biao had seen.
In the following decades, Wenxin Palace was burned down. After the building was burned down, the disciples of Wenxin Palace remained in such a dilapidated state. Apparently, they took this oath of shame and warned future generations.
"Damn it, so I'm still getting into trouble?"
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth. A hundred years ago, the Zhou Dynasty had not yet experienced the Rebellion of the Five Kings. It could be said that it was still a normal mid-dynasty period, with strong control over the local area and the world. Under such circumstances, the Wenxin Palace still had
To survive tenaciously, there must be something unique about them.
Thinking of the secret technique for finding people that the charlatan said, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sniff his nose. He had suffered a loss in the past! To put it bluntly, the secret technique should be a secret medicine. There are so many strange things in the world.
Much more.
A tall and smooth-muscled horse galloped past the dirt path like a gust of wind. The horse's coat was chestnut with white spots, smooth and shiny. The horse's head was square and large, its hips were round and its waist was thick, and its four legs were
It is as strong as a pile, and between its long ears, there is a white mane flying in the wind, showing a very majestic look.
Compared to the green Cong horse that Zhu Biao had been riding, it was only inferior. It cost him 7,000 taels of silver to get it. Such a horse is extremely difficult to find in the private horse market. When galloping, all four hooves are in full shape.
It left the ground, as if riding in the clouds and mist. The horse's head, waist and hips were covered with a black leather saddle studded with bright silver tips, lined with white deerskin cushions, and rounded copper pedals. Look.
It looks very majestic and majestic, making people think this horse is a BMW.
Zhu Biao was now wearing a black outfit, a pure black gown, his hair tied with silver hoops, and a Zhan Lu sword hanging at his waist. He seemed to be concentrating on controlling the horse, and his mind was always on guard against sneak attacks.
After crossing the Wei River yesterday, I felt a gaze watching me in the afternoon. I observed quietly for a long time, but couldn't notice anything. Until this morning, in the backyard of the inn where I stayed, I saw a crow standing on a willow tree.
, let him understand what exactly is monitoring him.
At this moment, it is the time when the sun is moving towards the west.
The horses galloped quickly, as if they were flying, and the surrounding scenery swept back like waves. Not long after, one man and one horse galloped out of the pine forest, straight down the slope, and like a gust of wind, they swept towards the yellow mud road ahead.
Although the horse was running fast, it was extremely stable. The horse's body seemed to be riding the wind. Sitting on the saddle, Zhu Biao was still paying attention to the crows that were always following him. Instead of one, there were two crows. He had a premonition in his heart.
, what is supposed to come is about to come.
The sound of hoofbeats hit the loess road, as if four powerful drummers were beating the big drums with bare upper bodies, so sharply and closely. Strings of drum sounds were thrown into the sky, around, and into the forest valley.
!
At this moment, the loess road was extending up a high slope. Zhu Biao clamped his mount between his legs and was about to rush forward. In the strong wind blowing in his face, he seemed to suddenly hear a trembling cry for help!
Slowing down his mount, Zhu Biao turned his head and looked in both directions. On the right, there was a wasteland, which was completely bare. On the left, there was a forest, which was very deep and dense. The edge of the forest was right next to the edge of the high slope on that side. He had just called for help.
The sound was very vague and thin. It seemed like someone had covered his mouth just after it came out. Although it was sudden, it was very small. But Zhu Biao's ears are very sensitive. Not to mention the ability of system solidification that is beyond ordinary people, it is just ordinary.
An innate master can also clearly hear it and determine that it is a woman!
With the two crows still behind him, Zhu Biao really should move on. This world is cruel, so don’t meddle in other people’s business. But it’s not unkindness, but kindness. The world of rivers and lakes is treacherous and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble.
, he is not afraid of military disasters and bloody disasters, but he never wants to get into too much trouble.
The horse was slowly going uphill. Finally, Zhu Biao shook the reins, and the horse raised its four hooves and ran uphill like a thunder.
Just when the shadow of the rider disappeared into the high slope, it miraculously turned back. In just the blink of an eye, it rushed into the dense forest on the roadside with as much power as thunder.
!
There was a continuous sound of snapping branches, and the war horses charged fiercely, leaping into the forest like arrows.
Zhu Biao's body was full of true energy, and all the branches blocking his path would collapse into tiny pieces if he bumped into them.
In just three or five breaths, a very disgusting sight appeared in front of Zhu Biao: a girl with messy clothes and disheveled hair was being tied to a cypress tree with her backhand, and four fierce-looking men were all watching.
He looked at Zhu Biao in astonishment, extremely stunned!
Zhu Biao sat on the horse, condescendingly looking down at the four sturdy men in uniform. Then he glanced at the girl tied to the tree. At this time, the victim was also looking up.
Come and look at Zhu Biao.
The sight of such a beautiful face made Zhu Biao's heart feel like it was hit. She was a top beauty who was not inferior to his wife. Although her clothes were rumpled and her appearance was haggard, she could not hide her graceful charm.
Curved thin eyebrows, like two crescent moons, a nose carved from white jade, small and straight. Small cherry mouth, oval face, the most beautiful eyes, glistening autumn waves, ripples of mist!
This girl, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, was looking at Zhu Biao sadly with an unusually expectant look, her posture was pitiful and sad, and in these sentiments, there was an uneasy feeling.
The expressions of excitement and surprise are like those of a man who has been in drought for a long time and is suddenly greeted by the rain. He is hanging on the edge of a cliff by a piece of withered grass and discovers that someone is running towards him.
Without even wiping his eyelids, Zhu Biao said in a cold voice: "Let the people go, then each stabs his own leg and leaves on his own. Otherwise, he will die——"
The faces of the four adults changed color, and the four of them glanced at each other. In this glance, they all saw timidity and unwillingness in each other's eyes, and then they saw helplessness and desolation.
The four of me...
After a moment, a big man with a pockmark the size of a copper coin stepped forward and said with a very strong mouth: "My friend, are you too overbearing? You and I have no hatred or grudges. We are doing our business. You
If you follow your Yangguan Avenue, rivers and wells do not interfere with each other, what are the rules of the world for you to interfere in this way? We at Flying Eagle Castle are not vegetarians."
Zhu Biao smiled coldly, "The rules of the world? Flying Eagle Castle? No one cares. Let me tell you a coincidence, these rules are made to be broken. Those who are capable have no rules, and those who are incompetent must abide by the rules.
"
In the dense forest, there were only the breathing and heartbeats of these five people, and two crows on the left and right...
"Now, I am the rule!"
"What do you want?"
The pock-marked man's face twitched violently. He turned back to look at his companions, and gritted his teeth and said: "Friend, don't bully others. You must know that even King Xia of our Flying Eagle Castle looks down upon us. It's not a good idea."
Bullying people!"
Zhu Biao looked at them quietly, but he became more and more sure of one thing. He even thought...
Sighing softly, "So you chose to die?"
On one side, a yellow and thin man jumped up, holding a short fork in his hand and smashing it directly into Zhu Biao's chest, while shouting: "Fuck that dog, pick up the hair! I'll beat you to death, mother-in-law."
of!"
Zhu Biao immediately refused to give in. The opponent's short fork was still three feet away. He waved his arm and waved his hand, and a blade-like palm wind flew out of the void like a steel blade. With a "click", the thin yellow man
The huge head was filled with blood and splashed out ten feet away!
At the moment when his companion rushed up, the pock-marked man also pulled out the ghost-headed sword from behind and rushed forward. However, before he could reach his position, his companion was already dead, and he screamed before he could say anything.
, Zhu Biao flipped his wrist and slapped him, and a palm force knocked him away horizontally! He broke a big tree from the waist, his bones were broken, and he vomited blood and died.
The other two screamed and ran away. Zhu Biao gently flicked out two fingers. The magical skill of snapping fingers did not use stones. It was just two strong winds that collided like two huge hammers, followed closely.
The sound of broken spines was heard, and the two men were also blown to death on the spot.
From the moment Zhu Biao started to kill these four people until they all laid their bodies on the ground, it only took two or three breaths for an ordinary person, as easily as crushing a few ants to death. The girl tied to the tree trunk was so tight.
With his eyes closed, his face was as pale as snow, and his whole body was trembling. He looked as if he had been paralyzed by fear.
Riding his horse forward, Zhu Biao waved his hand and cut off the rope on the tree trunk.
Shivering, the girl timidly opened her eyes. Like a frightened deer, she looked at Zhu Biao who immediately looked down at her with great uneasiness and trembling. She immediately lowered her head, trembling with fear. She couldn't say a word.
Come on!
Zhu Biao sneered in his heart, this is a living Wanwan!
The girl staggered, and with almost no strength, she sat down on the ground against the smooth tree. She looked at Zhu Biao pitifully. What she saw was Zhu Biao taking the reins of the horse and turning the horse's head.
"ah……"
He shouted, which seemed to be quite an atmosphere.
"You... don't leave. Otherwise... what... should I... do..."
"What's your name?" His eyes were extremely deep.
"The little girl...the little girl's name is Ding Meng'er..."
"Ding Meng'er!" nodded, and Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise the name. If you want to play, just play! "What's going on?"
Ding Meng'er was in shock, clutching her chest, and stayed there for a moment before suddenly sobbing, her tears falling like a broken pearl curtain. She cried and said: "Little girl... little girl
I'm from Luotong Town... I was going to the county town to visit my grandfather. I passed by here before noon today, and I was intercepted by four of them. They killed a pair of my servants and kidnapped me here... They wanted to force my family to pay 10,000 taels.
Money is used to redeem people...and the little girl is raped..."
Crying, Ding Meng'er seemed to be even more hurt and said: "Fortunately, the hero came a step earlier, otherwise, the little girl's innocence would be ruined, and she would really have no face to live in the world."
"Luotong Town? On the road ahead?"
"It's just twenty miles west of Huangtu Slope."
"It's just the right way to go. If you don't mind, I will give you a ride."
"Ah, thank you hero for your kindness. When we get to Luotong Town, my little girl's parents will definitely thank you."
Holding the girl's slender waist, the horse flew out of the woods. Zhu Biao did not feel any inner strength from the girl, and secretly sneered in his heart, "You are still a young girl? Innocent? How can you be held by a strange man and ride on the same horse?
Have you forgotten your innocence?”
Those four big men in the woods are like blinders. If you come here, you may die.
The plot of a hero saving a beauty is so cliche! Next in Luotong Town, will the beauty give her body to him?
Along the way.
Ding Meng'er was probably too frightened, so she clung to Zhu Biao's back, grabbing Zhu Biao's arm holding her waist with both hands. As the horse galloped, their bodies relaxed and closed, almost touching each other.
Already.
Zhu Biao could clearly feel the warmth and softness of the human body in his arms. There was a special, feminine fragrance that vaguely invaded him. This breath was soft and light, sweeping through his heart like a gentle breeze.
, it feels very comfortable and addictive.
Zhu Biao's reaction was to immediately stuff the jade cicada into his mouth without Ding Meng'er's knowledge.
The horse ran forward, Zhu Biao remained silent, and in his arms, Ding Meng'er timidly said: "Hero... haven't you asked the hero for his name yet?"
"What happened today is just smoke in the past. You and I will never see each other again in the future. Let's just say our names. Don't mention it."
Even though he didn't lower his head, Zhu Biao could still feel the resentment and embarrassment of the beauty in his arms.
The two sides were silent for a while, and then Ding Meng'er said faintly: "Hero, if you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring of water, let alone a life-saving kindness. Although the little girl's family does not have great wealth, she still provides a gift during the New Year and festivals.
Sticks of incense are not a big deal."
"If the road is uneven, someone will step on it. I just happened to meet someone who stepped on the uneven road."
The sound of hoofbeats hit the ground one after another, spreading far away.
A soft and sad sigh came from Ding Meng'er's mouth, it was like a thousand twists and turns, it was so resentful.
Zhu Biao still didn't speak, Ding Meng'er just sobbed softly, and Zhu Biao hurried towards the destination even faster.
The dust was swirling and it was seven or eight miles away. The two crows were still there behind him. Zhu Biao estimated that the group of rats who dared not show up would attack Luotong Town.
At this time, he was suddenly surprised. Ding Meng'er in his arms suddenly fell softly towards the horse!
With a tug on the reins with his right hand, Zhu Biao flicked his left wrist back and pulled Ding Meng'er forward. When he saw it, he felt dizzy. His face was so pale, and scarlet blood was still flowing from the corners of his lips!
The horse slowly stopped, Zhu Biao's right hand became a pincer, and he pinched Ding Meng'er's cheeks. His nose smelled the smell of blood, pure blood, no other smell. He pinched her philtrum hard and whispered: "
Girl, girl..."
Ding Meng'er's eyes were closed tightly and her breath was weak. Zhu Biao touched her wrist. He really didn't know how she did it. Her heartbeat was like a string hanging a heavy object, as if it would break at any time. She was already dead.
