Chapter 36: The Six Powers Enter the Enemy's Back (3)
The five people rode horses for several miles. At this time, the night had faded. A red sun was rising slowly. The scarlet morning sun dyed the vast earth red. Several people were bathed in the red mist.
Lin Yi saw a horse standing under a lone tree on the roadside ahead.
Immediately there was a man wearing a bamboo hat, playing a flute.
The sound of the flute is melodious, floating in the wind on the fields in the morning light.
Lin Yi was a little puzzled. This man looked very much like the mysterious man in a bamboo hat who secretly helped them in Jinzhou.
He later thought that the person was Xiao Lianqin, but now it seems clearly not. So who is this person?
Xiao Lianqin first rode up to meet him, and the man's flute sound suddenly stopped. Xiao Lianqin and the man wearing a bamboo hat whispered something.
Lin Yi and the others approached. The man's bamboo hat was pushed down very low to cover his eyebrows. Only his red face and short mustache could be seen. Xiao Lianqin introduced: "This is my good friend Chu Fengxi, Brother Lin."
, he was the one who secretly helped me when I was in Jinzhou."
Lin Yi hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Brother Chu, for your help in Jinzhou."
Chu Fengxi said nothing and just nodded.
Xiao Lianqin said to Lin Yi: "This time when we go deep into the northern border, I have invited Brother Chu to help. Now we will go ahead. We will contact you at any time."
The original plan was for Lin Yi and Xiao Lianqin to separate.
If the fate of the Southern Territory depends on the success or failure of their trip, Xiao Lianqin is the decisive factor in their success or failure.
Xiao Lianqin has the situation of all the spies lurking in the North in the South Campus. Xiao Lianqin knows the secret hiding places in the North. The most important thing is that Xiao Lianqin can change their faces to hide them after they are exposed.
It can be seen how important Xiao Lianqin is. He must not make any mistakes.
Therefore, Xiao Lianqin will help secretly. When Su Qinghou is out, Xiao Lianqin will secretly arrange cooperation like an invisible person. Xiao Lianqin will not participate in any fighting. Even if Lin Yi and others are trapped in a tight siege, Xiao Lianqin will still pretend
Let irrelevant people pass by calmly.
Xiao Lianqin, Chu Fengxi and Lin Yi left separately.
After they left, Lin Yi suddenly asked Wang Huihui: "What is your name?"
When Wang returned, Xiao Lianqin transformed him into a rough man with a dark face and a beard. His gray beard and hair were also dyed black, making him look much younger.
Wang Guihui blurted out without thinking: "I am Hehei, the Black Wind King of Batu Caves in Black Wind Mountain."
In order for Wang Hui Lai to remember his new name, Lin Yi taught him eleven times. Fortunately, the title was easy to pronounce and Wang Hui Lai finally remembered it.
Wang Huilai didn't know his true intention of going to the North. Lin Yi just told him that he would take him to the North to play, travel and taste all kinds of delicious food. This made Wang Huilai as full of excitement and expectation as a child.
After traveling for two days, the four of them were about to enter the northern border.
As we get closer to the north, the atmosphere becomes more tense as the war approaches.
Gangs led by the Southern Alliance have begun to mobilize troops frequently.
On the way, they kept encountering groups of martial arts warriors racing across the southern border, fighting horses.
They also encountered a group of people from Zizhulin, there were more than sixty people, both men and women. The team roared on the official road. When they passed four people, because this group of people were from Zizhulin, Zuo Chaoyang looked more
After a few glances, he was even scolded by the big man in charge, telling him not to look around so as not to cause trouble.
Zuo Chaoyang was so frightened that he quickly apologized.
Zuo Chaoyang told Lin Yi that the person headed by him was Jiang Meng, the judge of life and death in Zizhulin.
Lin Yi and Zeng Tengyun found it funny. If Jiang Meng knew that the person he was scolding was the young master Zuo Chaoyang, they would not know how they would feel.
The four of them walked for a while, and Lu Fengxi, like a passerby, caught up from behind and passed them by.
Xiao Lianqin was not seen either.
Lu Fengxi also threw a small cloth bag towards Lin Yi, and then walked forward.
Lin Yi opened it and found a note.
The note stated that Lin Yi and the four of them should turn off the official road at the fork five miles away and take a trail through the mountains, which would save half a day's journey.
So Lin Yi and the others turned off the trail when they reached a fork in the road.
As we approached the mountain pass, we heard shouts of death from ahead, as well as the frightened cries of women and children.
Lin Yi and the others hurried forward to see what was going on.
It turned out that a group of robbers were robbing merchants. There were more than 30 robbers. They were shouting and roaring, and some even beat gongs to encourage them. They were very arrogant.
A man in his forties who looked like a businessman was leading seven or eight servants to desperately protect a carriage.
The frightened cries of children could be heard in the carriage.
Several people had fallen around the carriage.
Lin Yi said to Zuo Chaoyang and Zeng Tengyun: "When the road is rough, draw your sword to help. What do you think?"
Zuo Chaoyang smiled and said, "I have some ideas."
Zeng Tengyun was impatient and had already rushed over.
He jumped off the horse and landed in front of the carriage. The knife was already out of its sheath. As the sword flashed, several robbers screamed and fell down. The other robbers were shocked.
Wang returned and wanted to fight, but Lin Yi grabbed him.
Wang Huilai yelled: "Why do you let him fight but not me?!"
Lin Yi said: "There is no need for you to take action against these little thieves. You are the Black Wind King. If you want to fight, fight against powerful characters. Remember, along the way, I have asked you to take action so that you can fight. If you are disobedient, I will
Just leave you alone..."
Zuo Chaoyang smiled and said to Wanggui: "Now we all have to listen to him. You see, he didn't let me do it, so I didn't move. I was afraid that he would leave me alone."
When he came back, he was afraid that Lin Yi would abandon him, so he hurriedly said to Lin Yi: "I listen to you, I listen to you..."
Although these bandits were outnumbered and had average martial arts skills, they were no match for Zeng Tengyun. Zeng Tengyun beat them like he was chopping melons and vegetables.
The bandit leader shouted in fear: "The wind is tight, hurry up..."
Before he could finish his words, Zeng Tengyun had already struck out with a knife in the air. The shadow of the knife flew to the guy's neck and cut off his throat. As blood spurted out, the guy fell to the ground.
The other robbers were so frightened that they fled for their lives in a hurry.
The robbers fled, and Zeng Tengyun returned the knife to its sheath.
Lin Yi and three others also approached with horses.
The businessman was extremely grateful to Zeng Tengyun for his rescue.
Zeng Tengyun pointed at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "This is our boss, you should thank him."
The businessman quickly thanked Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at the businessman and felt that he looked familiar.
Moreover, when the businessman was fighting with the robbers just now, Lin Yi saw that his martial arts skills were just okay. He should not be an ordinary businessman.
Lin Yi asked the businessman: "Excuse me, sir, where are you from and what is your name? Can you tell me?"
The businessman wiped the blood on his face and said to Lin Yi: "My name is Chen Ye, and I live in Yingtian Mansion. I came to the south to visit relatives a few days ago. I heard that the martial arts war between the north and the south was about to start, so I hurried back with my family. In order to
We took this path to save time, but unexpectedly we encountered robbers. Fortunately, we met you..."
After Chen Ye finished speaking, he took out some banknotes and insisted on rewarding Lin Yi and others. Lin Yi declined politely.
Although Lin Yi felt that Chen Ye had met him before, his place of residence and name were too unfamiliar to make him think of someone he knew well.
Lin Yi then told Chen Ye to be more careful, and the four of them started riding first.
But Chen Ye's appearance always kept popping up in Lin Yi's mind.
The more he thought about it, the more familiar he felt.
Lin Yi filtered several images of people in his mind, hoping to find someone who matched Chen Ye.
Based on his memory and meticulous observation, people who have seen him will never forget it.
Why can't I remember this person even though I am familiar with him?
After traveling for more than ten miles, Lin Yi suddenly remembered someone!
