When Ma Xingkong and Luo Xiaoyao returned to Yunzhou with Xiao Yanbei's body, it was when Liu Gongwen led the people to Langu City. He never expected Luo Xiaoyao to come to Langu, let alone him
He and Ma Xingkong have brought Xiao Yanbei's body back.
Liu Gongwen and a group of people who guarded the mansion sneaked into Langu City at night, and arrested several soldiers one after another to inquire about where Xiao Yanbei was being held.
When Ma Xingkong and Fan Zongfeng came to Langu City, they had a fight with Zhejia Zongfeng, which naturally caused a great stir. Afterwards, they carried a stretcher out of the city. Many soldiers also knew that among the captured soldiers, there were some who were afraid of death.
Then he told the story that Xiao Yanbei was dead and that his body had been taken away. As for who took it away and where it was taken, he did not know.
Liu Gongwen and a group of guardsmen were dubious, but because they thought Xiao Yanbei was of high status, they secretly sneaked into the county prison to investigate. However, they were discovered by the Zhejia priest inside the government, and everyone started fighting.
During the melee, Liu Gongwen took advantage of the chaos to escape. He was already confused and confused. Even though he was cunning and cunning, he couldn't figure out who took away Xiao Yanbei's body. He guessed that someone from the Xiao family took away the body.
But he thought it was impossible. The reason why he poisoned Xiao Yanbei to death was to gain a foothold in Khitan, so he took a chance and secretly sneaked to Xiao Mansion in Yunzhou to investigate.
The Khitan were originally a nomadic people with no fixed abode. They believed in cremation after death. Later, after Yelu Abaoji founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, many places borrowed the Han system. After the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun was established, the funeral customs were also influenced by Han customs.
Most of them are buried in the ground, so the Xiao Mansion also has a white cloth hanging door.
In the early morning, Liu Gongwen, who had sneaked back to Yunzhou, was frightened when he first saw him. He thought that De Shou could send Xiao Yanbei's body back, and he suspected that his poisoning might be exposed. Now
There was no place to stay in Liao, and for a while I was thinking about where to escape. However, considering the good relations between the Southern Tang and Northern Han Dynasties and the Liao Dynasty, I couldn't go there. After much deliberation, I could only go to Shu.
He was greedy for wealth all his life, and never thought of hiding in the mountains and markets. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he decided to escape to Shu. At this time, it was getting light and the city gate was open. He was afraid that people from the Xiao family would also look for him everywhere, so he
I want to find an inn to stay in Yunzhou City first, and then make plans after dark.
After Ma Xingkong brought Xiao Yanbei's body back, he rushed to Youzhou to inform Xiao Siwen and Zhuo Wu and asked Xiao Siwen to send someone to restrain Liu Gongwen first and ask about the situation, but he did not expect Yelv Zongwu to do so.
Liu Gongwen and others have been sent to rescue Xiao Yanbei.
However, after learning about the situation in Youzhou, they guessed that Liu Gongwen would take the opportunity to escape if he was the poisoner, so he and Zhuo Wu first rushed to Langu, but met a group of people from Langu City in Yingzhou.
After inquiring about it, the masters from the Guard House who returned found out that Liu Gongwen had disappeared when the masters were fighting with the soldiers of the Zhe family.
At this point, it was already known that Liu Gongwen was the one who poisoned him, so Zhuo Wu ordered three of the uninjured guards from the guard house to pursue Liu Gongwen. The guards regarded Liu Gongwen as a disaster.
When they heard that he was the one who harmed Xiao Yanbei, everyone gnashed their teeth and split up to look for Liu Gongwen.
In the hall of Xiao Mansion in Yunzhou, Xiao Muyun's eyes were filled with tears as he listened to Fan Chongfeng tell the reason for Xiao Yanbei's death, but he remained silent. After Fan Chongfeng finished speaking, he glanced at Luo Xiaoyao and walked out of the hall.
Luo Xiaoyao knew that she had something to say, so he followed her to the east courtyard garden where Chu Nanfeng and Yan Zhongchang had fought.
Looking at Luo Xiaoyao's left shoulder, Xiao Muyun sighed, "How...are you injured?"
Luo Xiaoyao felt warm in her heart, knowing that she already believed Liu Gongwen was the one who poisoned her, so she said: "Junior sister, don't worry, you should be cured in a few days after using the gold wound medicine." After saying this, he put the "Shock Armor" in his hand.
"Hand it over.
Xiao Muyun hesitated for a moment, then took the "Jingjia", pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and stared into Luo Xiaoyao's eyes, and said slowly: "If Zhe De Shou poisons him, what will senior brother do?"
Luo Xiaoyao didn't expect that she would ask such a question. He was startled for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Ma has rushed to Youzhou. When Liu Gongwen is restrained and questioned, the truth will be revealed..."
"I just want to ask Senior Brother, if Zhe De Shou poisons him, Senior Brother, will you help me or him?"
Luo Xiaoyao believed deeply in Zhe De Shou and never thought that he would be the one who poisoned him. After hearing Xiao Muyun's repeated question, he could not imagine what he thought was impossible. Under Xiao Muyun's gaze,
He said nonchalantly: "This... I think it must have been Brother Zhe who poisoned me..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Muyun snorted coldly, "Go away, I...I don't want to see you again." After saying that, he turned around and left.
In fact, with Xiao Muyun's intelligence, after listening to Fan Chongfeng's story, he had already guessed that the person who poisoned Liu Gongwen should be Liu Gongwen. However, Xiao Yanbei died in a fight with Zhe Deshou. Although he had no intention of killing Zhe Deshou, he still
But I have a grudge against him.
Her female character, remembering the scene when Luo Xiaoyao protected him when she killed Zhe Deshou, she still felt unhappy in her heart. She thought that the relationship between her father and daughter was not as important as Zhe Deshou in Luo Xiaoyao's heart, so she asked this question
, when he heard that Luo Xiaoyao answered the wrong question, he seemed to have the heart to protect Deshou, so he turned around and left angrily.
Although Luo Xiaoyao is talented and intelligent, he does not understand the nature of women, he is an honest person, and he does not know how to comfort with sweet words. When faced with a dilemma, he just answers according to what he wants, which makes Xiao Muyun even more angry. But he does not know that as long as he speaks out
Helping Xiao Muyun, Xiao Muyun was also angry with him. For a moment, he looked at Xiao Muyun's leaving figure and stood speechless.
Thinking about Xiao Muyun's words asking him to leave, he felt bitter in his heart, but he felt that he would only make her sad in Xiao Mansion now. He sighed and walked out of Xiao Mansion, asked the servant at the door to tell Xiao Muyun, and walked towards Youzhou.
.
At first, Liu Gongwen had the Guards Mansion as his backer, and Chu Nanfeng, Wu Wangbo and others could not kill him. Now he poisoned Xiao Yanbei, and the Guards Mansion could not tolerate him. However, if he wanted to do anything, Zhuo Wu
He should be taken down.
Thinking about the suffering that his wife, Ma Xilan, had endured for more than ten years, and the death of Miao Changning, Luo Xiaoyao wanted to stab Liu Gongwen with several swords to vent his hatred.
When I was about to reach the city gate, I heard a voice coming from behind: "Master Luo, please stay..."
Luo Xiaoyao looked back, and the person who made the noise was Fan Chongfeng. Fan Chongfeng bowed his hands and said, "I wonder where Mr. Luo wants to go?"
After listening to Magistrate Lu's words, Fan Zongfeng had already guessed that the person who poisoned Liu Gongwen was probably Liu Gongwen. In addition, if Luo Xiaoyao hadn't stopped him and Ma Xingkong, they would have fought the Zhejia army in Langu City.
Both sides suffered losses, but they felt grateful to Luo Xiaoyao in their hearts, and their attitude became very respectful.
Luo Xiaoyao smiled faintly and returned the greeting: "I want to go to Youzhou to meet Uncle Ma. I wonder if Fan Chongfeng has any advice?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Fan Chongfeng said hurriedly: "Young Master didn't even rest on the road all night yesterday. Now I'm going to Youzhou, which is more than 700 miles away. I'm afraid I'll be tired."
Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Fan Chongfeng added: "Mr. Ma has been on his way for nearly two hours. If nothing happens, he and Mr. Zhuo will bring Liu Gongwen back before tomorrow time. The sky is getting dark now."
An, why don't Mr. Luo just wait for you in Yunzhou?"
Luo Xiaoyao guessed that Xiao Muyun must have known that he was leaving, so he sent Fan to worship him to stay. He smiled bitterly in his heart. It was already the You hour, but he felt that what Fan worshiped was true. He thought about it briefly and said, "That's good.
Fan Zongzong, can someone familiar with the inn help me to give you some guidance?"
Fan Chongfeng was startled. When Xiao Muyun asked him to come and retain Luo Xiaoyao, he had guessed that the two senior fellow apprentices were having trouble. He thought it was because of Zhe De Shou, so he sighed secretly in his heart and said with a smile: "Fan is in Yun
I have been in the state for decades, and I am familiar with all the inns... There is a "Fu'an Inn" to the north of the General's Mansion, which is quite quiet, Mr. Luo, what do you think?"
The reason why Luo Xiaoyao asked him for guidance was to let Xiao Muyun know where he would end up, so as not to worry her. His current unwillingness to go to Xiao Mansion was not because he was angry with Xiao Muyun, but because he was afraid of being relatively speechless.
.
"Then it's time to work." Luo Xiaoyao nodded and followed Fan Zongfeng to the "Fu'an Inn" in the north of Xiao Mansion.
After arriving at the inn, Fan Zongfeng was the first to help Luo Xiaoyao get a room on the second floor. Knowing that Luo Xiaoyao had not eaten yet, he ordered some food and wine and asked the waiter to bring them to the room. After making arrangements, Fang and Luo Xiaoyao said goodbye and returned home.
.
After eating, Luo Xiaoyao changed the gold wound medicine for his shoulder injury. He had not slept for nearly ten hours, and with his shoulder injury, he was indeed a little tired, so he turned off the lights and rested.
When he woke up, he felt comfortable all over, but when he saw the light gleaming through the window paper, Luo Xiaoyao guessed that it was about nine o'clock, so he got up with his clothes on, and wanted to go downstairs and call the shop assistant to get some water to wash up.
Just as he walked out of the room, he saw the waiter downstairs leading someone into the courtyard, or heard the sound of Luo Xiaoyao opening the door. The man looked up and their eyes met, both of them were shocked. It turned out that the waiter had come in with him.
It is Liu Gongwen.
Liu Gongwen rushed to Yunzhou from Lan Valley and saw the white cloth hanging on the door of Xiao Mansion. He knew that his poisoning might be exposed, so he wanted to hide in the inn first and then escape to Shu.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Luo Xiaoyao. He was shocked when he saw him, but he turned back to the front hall of the inn and ran away.
How could Luo Xiaoyao let him escape? He jumped up to the roof without thinking. Standing on the roof of the front hall and looking up, he saw Liu Gongwen already more than thirty feet away to the north. He jumped onto the street and chased after him.
, there were passers-by on the street at this time, but seeing the two people running wildly one after another, they naturally ran away.
The guards at the north gate saw people running towards them. Some passers-by were knocked away and they were trying to stop them with their guns. Liu Gongwen didn't dare to be negligent and struck out with his palm. The soldiers naturally fell down one after another. Although there was a slight pause,
However, Luo Xiaoyao drew the distance closer, but when he heard a sword roar behind him and a wave of cold air hit him, he threw a few "Kamikaze Powder" backwards without looking back in his busy schedule.
With Wen Yi's help, Luo Xiaoyao had already reached the level of spiritual consciousness, and his cultivation level was already half a step higher than Liu Gongwen's. When he pulled out the water dragon chant thorn, he saw a few black dots coming in front of him, and then a thin smoke appeared.
, knowing in his heart that it was a "divine wind powder", he hurriedly avoided it with bated breath, but stopped for a moment. Liu Gongwen had already rushed out of the city. After Luo Xiaoyao rushed out, the distance had increased by more than thirty feet.
Liu Gongwen felt from Luo Xiaoyao's sword energy that his energy was even stronger than before, and he became more and more frightened. When he was better than Luo Xiaoyao in cultivation, he was still forced to be on par, but in Taiyuan
At that time, if it weren't for the "Kamikaze Powder", Luo Xiaoyao would no longer be a match for him. Now he ran away with all his strength. As soon as he closed the distance, a few "Kamikaze Powder" were thrown out, so that Luo Xiaoyao couldn't get close for a while.
It took nearly a stick of incense to escape and chase like this, but when they arrived at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, Liu Gongwen had very little "divine wind powder" left in his hand, and he did not dare to throw it away. He saw Luo Xiaoyao already ten feet behind him.
He could be chased in front of him at any time. He was afraid that he would run out of "divine wind powder", so he fled towards the mountain.
The mountain road was rugged and full of trees. Luo Xiaoyao saw that he could hit Liu Gongwen with one sword, but he dodged into the forest. Liu Gongwen fled in front of him. Although he was in a panic and did not choose the way, he still took advantage of the surprise, but
With his skill, he jumped left and right, and whenever there was danger, he was blocked by trees, but Luo Xiaoyao was unable to do anything to him for a while.
He used the trees to escape halfway up the mountain, but when he saw a rock wall four or five feet high appeared in front of him, Liu Gongwen was frightened and ran to the right in a panic. After a while, he reached the mountain path and was about to
He turned around and ran away, but Luo Xiaoyao slashed down with his sword, and the cold light hit him with sharp sword energy, blocking his escape, so he had to turn around and flee up the mountain.
On the left side were the steep cliffs, and on the right side was a valley sixty or seventy feet high. The idea of jumping down the valley to escape flashed through my mind, but I didn't dare to jump down.
Unexpectedly, after escaping for half a cup of tea, I turned a small corner, and more than ten feet away in front of me was a stone staircase that was only about five feet wide, leaning on the cliff. However, if I escaped up the stone staircase, I would be caught by Luo Xiaoyao from behind.
The attack was unavoidable and would definitely fall into the deep valley with straight cliffs. At this time, Fang Hui should jump down the sloping valley while running out of the forest.
When he reached the area where the stone stairs were more than two feet wide, he stopped and steadied himself, turned around and faced Luo Xiaoyao, who was already chasing him. Luo Xiaoyao was wary of his "Shen Feng San" and did not dare to approach.
The two of them were two feet apart, their eyes facing each other, and they were looking at each other intently.
Liu Gongwen thought that the only way to make a desperate move now was to make a desperate move. He thought quickly and threw out the remaining four pills of "Kamikaze Powder". Two pills hit Luo Xiaoyao's left side, and two pills hit Luo Xiaoyao in front of him.
He used his strength just right. When two pills of 'Kamikaze Powder' hit Luo Xiaoyao's left shoulder, they broke open. The two pills scattered three feet in front of Luo Xiaoyao, and the poisonous smoke suddenly dispersed.
At the same time, Liu Gongwen dodged to the right and used his "Zhou Tianzhi" move to attack the "Qihu point" on Luo Xiaoyao's left chest.
He knew that he was not as skilled as Luo Xiaoyao at this time, but he saw blood stains on Luo Xiaoyao's clothes on his left shoulder, and knew that he was injured, so he attacked Luo Xiaoyao's left chest, and two "Kamikaze Powder" pills exploded on Luo Xiaoyao's left side.
, the purpose is to force Luo Xiaoyao to dodge to the right side, so that he can seize the opportunity to escape down the mountain, while the other two pills break open in front of Luo Xiaoyao, thus preventing Luo Xiaoyao from escaping forward.
Luo Xiaoyao thought about his wife Ma Xilan's silver hair, Miao Changning, and Xiao Yanbei's death. He hated Liu Gongwen deeply in his heart and had the intention to kill him. When he saw the poisonous smoke on the left side, he spread out in front of him, knowing that Liu Gongwen
Gong Wen wanted to force himself to dodge to the right, seize the road to escape, but he didn't care, and used the "Mist around Huaguang" move. The sword energy drove away part of the poisonous smoke, and at the same time blocked the Zhou Tianzhi that attacked the left chest, and followed with his body
He dodged to the left and used the move "Long Shadow Dark Snow" to hit Liu Gongwen who was dodging.
The reason why Luo Xiaoyao ignored the poisonous smoke of "Shenfeng Powder" was because he knew that its toxicity would only take effect after half a cup of tea. He did not try to dodge at the moment because he wanted to kill Liu Gong within half a cup of tea.
arts.
Luo Xiaoyao's move was very dangerous. Liu Gongwen's skill was only half as good as his, but he couldn't be killed within half a cup of tea, not to mention he still had a shoulder injury.
However, Liu Gongwen had no intention of fighting and just wanted to seize the road and escape. He only knew that Luo Xiaoyao would dodge to the right. Who knew that he would fight to the death regardless of the poison of "Shenfeng Powder"? When Zhou Tianzhi attacked, his body was
Sloping to the right, he met Luo Xiaoyao's sword and was struck by it. This time, it was like sending his body to Luo Xiaoyao's sword. Immediately, the soul of the dead emerged and screamed strangely. He hurriedly stopped, kicked his feet and retreated, but
It was too late, but his right arm was hit by the sword energy, and blood immediately flowed out.
Luo Xiaoyao didn't dare to stop. He used the Xingxu sword technique "Jing Fang Raise His Head" again, hitting Liu Gongwen's face directly. Liu Gongwen couldn't turn around at this time, and his right hand was injured again. He yelled violently, raised his left hand and pulled it from his sleeve.
He flew away from the only two silver snakes and retreated quickly. He never thought that there was a deep valley behind him, but he felt that his right foot was in the air. He was horrified, but he couldn't stop himself and fell down with a scream.
Luo Xiaoyao saw two white lines coming towards him and knew they were poisonous snakes. He raised and retracted his right hand and the sword light flashed, cutting the poisonous snake into several pieces. When he saw Liu Gongwen falling into the deep valley, he felt happy and walked in quickly.
Look around the cliff.
But the cliff fell straight down. A small tree growing on the cliff nearly ten feet away from the cliff was broken in the middle, and a piece of rag was still hanging in the wind. The broken tree was nearly two hundred feet deep from the misty valley bottom.
, but thinking that Liu Gongwen should be shattered into pieces, I felt relieved.
At this moment, he felt pain in his left shoulder and adjusted his breathing, but he felt that only 60% of his cultivation Qi was left. He secretly thought he was lucky. If Liu Gongwen hadn't been in a deep valley behind him, with his skill, after ten more moves, his own Qi would have subsided.
, then your life will be at risk.
Knowing that in a few moments, the cultivation energy will fade away, and while there are still five or six successes left, I want to find a cave to stay, and walk quickly down the mountain. When I arrive at the edge of the forest halfway up the mountain,
Finally, I felt that my whole body was weak and it was difficult to walk. I took a deep breath and walked to the foot of a big tree on the side of the mountain road. I leaned on the tree and sat down.
Remembering Miao Changning's words, he knew that the only way to cure the "Shenfeng Powder" attack was the Yaowang Valley's "Guiyuan Pill". Otherwise, it would take at least twelve hours to recover, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
It was already Mengdong, the temperature on the mountain was very low, and there was frost and ice. Normally, he would not be afraid of the ice and snow, but now he lost his strength and could no longer move. Coupled with his shoulder injury, Luo Xiaoyao was in pain, cold, and
Hungry and sleepy.
However, he was afraid of the presence of venomous snakes and beasts, so he had no choice but to keep his eyes open and not dare to close them. Unexpectedly, the more he did this, the more sleepy he became, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt my whole body heat up in a daze, as if there was fire. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a felt tent, covered with a brocade mattress, and lying on a low couch covered with blankets.
But the door of the felt tent was open. Looking out through the door, I saw darkness outside. It was obviously late at night. In my surprise, I saw a woman in plain clothes, holding a small bowl in her hand, bending down and entering the door.
Taking a closer look, it was Xiao Muyun.
Thinking of the two felt tents in the east garden of Xiao Mansion, Luo Xiaoyao already knew that he was in Xiao Mansion, and felt very strange in his heart. However, seeing that Xiao Muyun's face was neither happy nor angry, he did not dare to ask what happened.
When Xiao Muyun saw him waking up, he didn't say anything. He walked slowly to the couch and placed the small bowl on the table. He squatted down, helped Luo Xiaoyao up, and cushioned his back with a soft pillow before taking the small bowl.
, scooped up the yellow millet porridge with a spoon, blew the hot air, and fed it to Luo Xiaoyao's mouth. Luo Xiaoyao's heart was filled with confusion. He was very hungry now, but when Xiao Muyun wanted to feed him, he was reluctant to eat quickly and ate slowly.
After swallowing and chewing a small bowl of rice porridge, I drank a column of fragrant scenery.
Xiao Muyun was not in a hurry, and looked calm, letting Luo Xiaoyao chew slowly. After he finished feeding the rice porridge, he raised the empty bowl without saying a word to indicate to Luo Xiaoyao if he wanted another bowl.
Luo Xiaoyao knew that she was still worried about him protecting her, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. However, she felt that being fed by Xiao Muyun and drinking porridge was the happiest thing in the world. She smiled and nodded while Xiao Muyun glanced at him.
After one glance, he sighed, stood up, and turned to leave.
After a while, a person bent over and walked outside the tent. It was Xiao Muyun's maid, also holding a small bowl in her hand, followed by Ma Xingkong.
Luo Xiaoyao felt a pain in his heart, but he heard Ma Xingkong say: "I heard from Mu Yun that Mr. Luo wakes up, and I will come over to disturb him. Oh, you just woke up, I think you are hungry, drink porridge first, drink porridge first."
After saying this, he sat cross-legged on the felt blanket next to the couch. Listening to his tone, it seemed as if he didn't know that Luo Xiaoyao had already drank a bowl.
The maid's spooning feeling was naturally different from Xiao Muyun's. Luo Xiaoyao drank the millet porridge in a moment. After the maid left, Ma Xingkong, who was sitting on the carpet, said: "Fortunately, Fan worshiped him this morning.
I went to the "Fu'an Inn" and listened to the description of the innkeeper. I knew that you met the willow thief. When you arrived at the city gate, you listened to the soldier's report and knew that you were chasing the willow thief to the north. I was afraid that you would make a mistake, so Fan Chongsheng immediately took him with you.
The last group of people were pursuing..."
"The group of people searched for a long time, and finally found a broken tree on the edge of the path to Tianling Peak. They guessed that there was a fight, so they searched all the way up. It was only at noon that they found you asleep...
Ma Xingkong paused for a moment, and then said: "Where did Liu Thief go, but let him escape?"
Although Luo Xiaoyao's cultivation and energy had not yet recovered, he had slept for a long time and drank rice porridge, so he was in good spirits. Hearing the words, he moved back and told him about the fight between himself and Liu Gongwen. Ma Xingkong listened.
He shouted happily and said in a hateful voice: "Although I couldn't take the willow thief's head and sacrifice it in front of Yan Bei's spirit, I still let his body be cut into thousands of pieces. Okay, okay..."
"I just rushed back to Yunzhou in Xushi. At that time, you were still sleeping. I heard Fan Zongfeng say that your cultivation was completely useless and your life was safe. I was relieved... Otherwise, I don't know how to explain it to my mentor and Mr. Chu. It's really
Very lucky."
"Liu Thief, this junior 'Shen Feng San', has also suffered this once. He will regain his power in twelve hours, so Master Ma doesn't have to worry."
"It's almost midnight now. Siwen, Mu Yun and others are still waiting for me in the hall. You should have a good rest and we'll talk tomorrow." Ma Xingkong nodded, stood up and left.
