The assassin fell very embarrassed, and one turned over.
"Hurry up and stop!"
When the officers and soldiers came, Duan Ling immediately said, "Stop fighting! Come back!"
Wu Du stood and looked at the assassin, but the assassin ran away immediately, until the officers and soldiers occupied the road, and a middle-aged man came out of the crowd, shouting: "Miss! Miss!"
The girl Duan Ling had rescued earlier, Fang, recovered from the many shocks, shouted, and rushed towards the middle-aged man.
An hour later.
Wu Du and Duan Ling rode together, the car was gone, and the luggage was also lost. Wu Du was still naked, with a sword box on his back, like a blacksmith. Duan Ling's face was stained with smoke. Riding in front of Wu's single, the officers and soldiers in front led the way and walked slowly.
"Who is he?" Duan Ling asked.
Wu Du attached to Duan Ling's ear and whispered, "He is Helan Jie."
Duan Ling was immediately shocked, and Wu Du said again: "The late emperor was poisoned by him, don't come near him."
"Why did he want to kill me?" Duan Ling said in disbelief, he suddenly began to worry, don't fall short and destroy it in the hands of the enemy.
"No reason." Wu Du whispered again, "He kills anyone who doesn't like him."
At this time, Helan Jie, who was riding in front of him, turned his head and glanced at Duan Ling and Wu Du. Duan Ling was furious when he saw it.
"Why is he here?" Duan Ling asked.
The two rode on horses and were very close to each other, and Duan Ling was almost with Wu Duqin when he turned his head to the side.
Wu Du: "..."
"Aren't you very smart?" Wu Du observed the people around him and whispered, "Guess what?"
Duan Ling was in a turmoil, and the enemy who killed his father was not far away, but he had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't tell Wu Du his true identity.
"What's wrong?" Wu Du asked strangely.
Duan Ling shook his head, trying his best to make himself more awake, and began to deal with these intricate relationships.
"I see." Duan Ling murmured, "He took refuge with Bian Lingbai. Bian Lingbai asked him to come over to find the whereabouts of this girl."
"Yes." Wu Du said in a cold tone, "The hostage had also gone to Tongguan, so he must have gone to find Bian Lingbai, but was intercepted by horse thieves halfway, and Bian Lingbai sent Helan Jie out to investigate. I don't know what her identity is."
Duan Ling nodded, that is to say, the horse thieves kidnapped them because they made a mistake.
On the fork in the road, Duan Ling saw a carriage and immediately understood everything—her carriage was very similar to his own, so the robbers must have found the wrong person. Pull back. On the way back, he happened to meet the right master, and he took the people away. Only the middle-aged man who seemed to be a housekeeper escaped and called for help along the way.
Sure enough, Duan Ling guessed eight | nine and ten. A captain of Tongguanwei was waiting at the inn in front of them. It turned out that they had gone the wrong way from the previous inn and were pointed to the junction of Xiliang and Chen. After a small stream passes by, it is the boundary of Xiliang.
Just after they left, the middle-aged man took the coachman to the nearest inn to ask for help. It happened that Tongguan was also waiting for the girl to come. The two sides met in the inn, and they quickly sent troops to help.
The driver was fine. He was resting in the firewood room behind the station. Duan Ling took his pulse, and there was no danger to his life.
Horse thieves rage here all year round, and they have been harassing the people for a long time. Tongguan guards have tried to stop them, but this time they still have the guests arrested, and they immediately condoled one by one.
"Don't worry, miss." Tong Guanwei said to the girl, "From now on, there will be no more danger."
The girl was still sad for the death of her maid and the servants who followed her. She couldn't eat, so she nodded to Tong Guanwei, and the leader came over to Wu Du and Duan Ling.
"Hello," said the captain. "Who are you?"
"Passing by." Wu Du said, "Don't mess with me."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone immediately drew their swords. Duan Ling was lying down and sleeping behind Wu Du. Hearing the sound of the swordsman, he suddenly sat up, but Wu Du returned his hand and pressed it on Duan Ling's shoulder, telling him to slow down Lie down slowly.
"Your Lord Helan is still my defeated general." Wu Du said, "With such a small number of people, how many tricks do you think they can handle under my command?"
One of the guards touched the captain and whispered a few words. Duan Ling was lying behind Wu Du, while Wu Du sat cross-legged and drank tea as if he was leisurely. Wu Du threw out another famous post, saying: " Send someone to take it back to show your general side and let him get ready."
The captain watched Wu Du for a while, picked up the famous post, and went out with someone.
The people in the inn were divided into three waves. Tong Guanwei gathered with the assassin named Helanjie. Helanjie was wearing a glove in his left hand and an iron hook in his right, always watching Wu Du's movements. The girl who had been taken hostage was sitting on the other side, still weeping, and the middle-aged man couldn't help comforting her in a low voice.
Wu Du and Duan Ling became a third-party force in the station. Duan Ling hadn't slept all night and was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. After a short nap, Wu Du asked him to get up to eat again.
Duan Ling asked, "How about you?"
"I've eaten it." Wu Du said.
Duan Ling sat up to eat, while Wu Du brushed Duan Ling's boots, like a patient big brother.
The girl slowed down and stared at them from a distance. After a while, the housekeeper came over to thank him and asked Duan Ling to come over and talk, but Wu Du said, "My young master is not in the mood right now. Let's talk about it later in Tongguan."
The housekeeper had to go over and reply, Duan Ling was eating slowly, thinking that the enemy who killed his father was on the opposite side, the hatred flowing in his blood was suddenly hooked up. He chewed the cakes, remembering that if it wasn't for this Helan Jie, he would not be in the situation he is now, and his memories were overlapping and scattered, which made him extremely angry.
Wu Du! Kill him for me! This is what Duan Ling wanted to say the most.
Of course, he couldn't let Wu Du kill him. This is the case now, and if he restores his identity as a prince in the future, it will be the same.
Because Wu Du is not a tool that can be called to and fro, killing people.
"What happened?" Wu Du asked.
Duan Ling regained his senses and found that every time he was in a low mood, Wu Du didn't know why, but he could always see it.
"No... I didn't sleep well." Duan Ling said, "He kept looking at us."
Wu Du said: "He is already abolished. Outside Shangjing, his four fingers were chopped off by the late emperor. But for some reason, his right hand was also chopped off. Now he can no longer use a sword in his life."
"He must still want to kill me." Duan Ling noticed.
"You, Master Wu, I still want to kill him." Wu Du said lightly, "Don't be afraid of him."
Duan Ling wanted to pick up a sword from the broken hand, and it could still be used, but in this way, he would not be able to use the wrist flips, turns, picks, circles, sweeps and other moves. male opportunity.
When Ye Wudu asked a screen to be blocked in the station, the two lay behind the screen. Duan Ling thought of what Master Kongming said, that the junior brother who betrayed the teacher and took away the fate of the dust must be Helan Jie.
Those things were as old as the memories of a previous life, which made Duan Ling feel unreal, thinking about it, and thinking that Lang Junxia, like Helan Jie, had once betrayed his teacher. For some reason, he was full of hatred for Helan Jie, and wished he could be slashed with a thousand swords. What he felt more for Lang Junxia was the heartache after being betrayed.
"What are you going to do with him?" Duan Ling asked.
"Don't move him now." Wu Du turned sideways and whispered in Duan Ling's ear, "We need to find out what his relationship with Bian Lingbai is."
"It must be a subordinate." Duan Ling whispered, "There is no doubt."
"Well." Wu Du said.
Duan Ling looked at Wu Du expectantly. This was the first time he heard about "killing" from Wu Du's mouth.
"Do you want to spare his life?" Duan Ling asked again.
"What?" Wu Du replied strangely, "What am I doing to spare his life? When we leave after finishing our work, we will naturally kill him. Why would you ask such a question?"
Duan Ling was almost moved to tears, he just wanted to hug Wu Du for a kiss, but Wu Du found that Duan Ling seemed to be a little wrong again. Duan Ling found out that when Wu Du really wanted to kill someone, he would not hesitate. In his eyes, this man named Helan Jie was already dead, but now, Bian Lingbai could not be disturbed.
The next day, more people came from outside the inn. In the early morning, before Duanling opened his eyes, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Tongguan guards are well-trained, uniform, and not cluttered. Duan Ling closed his eyes and counted silently, one-fifty-one, fifteen-twenty… nearly a hundred people came.
An officer of Tongguan Guard first went in, invited the girl out, and then Helan Jie also left the inn. After walking clean in an instant, Wu Du said, "Get up when you wake up."
Duan Ling had to sit up, look around, and found that no one was there.
"All gone?" Duan Ling asked.
"It's all outside." Wu Du said, "Sit behind the screen, don't come out yet."
"I didn't expect you to have such courage." A voice said, "You actually came to Tongguan."
Wu Du sneered: "Bian Lingbai, I asked you to wash your neck, did you do that?"
A general in his thirties walked in, his feet were slightly apart, and he stood at the door. Immediately afterwards, Tongguan guards filed in, stationed around, and set up crossbows and arrows to point at Wu Du.
Wu Duze sat in front of the couch outside the screen, yawned, and looked at Bian Lingbai impatiently.
"If I really want to kill you," Wu Du said, "I'll give you a sword at the door, you'll die the moment you enter, and you'll be left in formation? You don't even look at the door before you enter. As stupid as your dog, after staying in Tongguan for a long time, he has become so dull."
"You..." Bian Lingbai was angry.
Duan Ling listened from behind the screen, only to find it funny.
"What are you doing here?!" Bian Lingbai said coldly.
"Bring someone to see you." Wu Du stood up lazily and said, "Since you're pointing an arrow at me like this, we'll leave."
"Wait." Bian Lingbai signaled his men to withdraw the crossbow | arrow, Wu Du said in a cold tone, "I saved someone for you, I don't know how to say thank you, Bian Lingbai, really thinks that no one in the world can do it. Can I hold you back?"
Bian Lingbai's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to stand against Wu Du's words. After all, Wu Du was the first person to serve Zhao Kui back then. I don't know how many top-secret military information on border exchanges was in the hands of this cronie, so he could only sneer. : "If you have the guts, come to Tongguan."
Bian Lingbai withdrew, and Wu Du took Duan Ling out, inspected the carriage, and asked the Tongguan guards to drive the carriage. He sat in the carriage with Duan Ling and went all the way to Tongguan.
