Zhou Fei stood there in a daze, pulling the warm palm of Yu Lao Shang and asking, "What are you doing?"
She felt that she said this sentence, but in fact, in the eyes of others, she just moved her lips slightly and did not make a sound.
The disciple who broke in stepped into the small pavilion in Jiangxin, just in time to have a face-to-face with the corpse sitting in the middle of Lao Lao Yu, his knees softened, so he didn't kneel down, and hurriedly staggered and grabbed the door frame next to it. It made him completely unaware of Zhou Fei's strange color.
Li Yan hurriedly wiped away tears, grabbed the reporter's sleeve, and said anxiously, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"
The disciple stared blankly at Lao Yu, and said unconsciously, "Elder Lin forced back the first wave of the army's offensive at the foot of the mountain, and cut off most of our communication with the foot of the mountain. News just came from the town's dark pile, saying that After the puppet dynasty retreated, they surrounded a few towns below our mountain..."
This doesn't need explanation, Li Yan can understand it - the Big Dipper has trapped them in the forty-eight villages because of the large number of people!
Many people present exclaimed.
The disciple was jolted, as if he had just recovered, he rubbed his red eyes, tore his panicked eyes from Yu Lao, looked at Zhou Fei with eyes that suppressed fear, and then said: "The dark pile at the foot of the mountain The letter said that the leader was Beidou 'Breaking the Army' Lu Yaoguang, but this person only had a group of men in black who fought in the previous battle when attacking the village. Lu Yaoguang treats him respectfully."
When Xie Yun heard this, he asked in a deep voice, "Jianghu people have the means of the Jianghu people, and the people in the court have the shamelessness of the people in the court. Besides besieging the town, did the leader of the army do anything else? "
The disciple's terrified eyes fell on him, as if taken aback by his words, and stammered: "He... He ordered people to 'suppress bandits' in the town."
Zhou Fei was still in the town before nightfall. Because of the unusual movement in the forty-eight villages, she rushed back on horseback.
In the town's teahouse, the sound of clamoring, banging teeth and farting is still vaguely in my ears, and the jingle sound of the storyteller is mixed with it.
Li Yan looked confused and asked, "In the town? Not all the people in the town, what kind of bandits are they fighting there?"
"Those who are collaborating with the enemy, those who are treasonous," Xie Yun took the words without waiting for the disciple to speak, "Having advocated the leader of the bandit village, it is considered a false discussion of the government; he has business dealings with the people in the bandit village, and transports materials... Funding bandit villages'; relying on the protection of bandit villages, not to mention refusing to pay taxes to the imperial court, must be "mountain bandit minions"... so strange? As long as the adults are willing, it can be said that the dozens of villages and towns around the entire Forty-eight Village are full of gangsters, and even the insects that fly in are not clean, and it can be said with reason and evidence, and definitely not out of nothing. "
When Xie Yun said this, he smiled lightly. He was clearly a gentleman with a bit of unrestrainedness. At this time, his words seemed to have a bit of coldness and Xiaoshu that washed Mo Jiang.
His eyes swept over Zhou Fei, Li Yan, and Xiajiang's other disciples, and said softly, "Have you not heard of it?" The following is an invitation to pet, its inherent injustice is inevitable.” (Note) This adult is obviously not a good comer - when the Beidou people almost came out of their nests, and the siege of the forty-eight villages failed, it must not look good in front of the false emperor. It seems that This time they learned their lesson and mixed the affairs of the rivers and lakes with the affairs of the court."
Zhou Fei felt that the strings in her mind seemed to be rusted, and she had to think hard and cut through the misty water in front of her eyes to understand what Xie Yun was saying.
correct-
Forty-eight Villages has dark piles extending in all directions, the Elder Hall, Lin Hao... There are also countless sentries that outsiders don't know the checkpoints. Even if Mingfeng rebels, it is not so easy to break.
On the side of the puppet dynasty, as soon as Gu Tianxuan was defeated and retreated, the conspiracy was revealed, and he immediately went to the rear to "encircle Wei and save Zhao".
The village and pot town in the middle of Shu has lived next to the Forty-eight Villages in the past 20 years and has taken care of each other in the villages. Li Jinrong managed well, and this place has gradually become the safest and most leisurely place in the world from a remote and remote place. The people here It is completely different from the refugees who are all soldiers under Hengshan. Since this place is really under pressure from the imperial army, people may not be able to react for a while.
It is really convenient to charge these fools who will only wait to die as a "gangster". In this way, even if the city has been besieged for several years, the defense line of the forty-eight villages will still not be broken. Beidou and the puppet army do not have to be "empty-handed" when they go back to cross the border. A beautiful number of gangsters.
In this case, of course, the 48th Village could close the gate and ignore the suffering of the people below, but the 48th Village has always been based on the name of "righteous bandit", which has really let innocent people take the blame. Saying that they are not happy, how will they live in the gap between the north and the south in the future
The disciple who came to report the news couldn't help but glance at Xie Yun, even though he was confused by what he said, he still nodded to Zhou Fei and said, "Yes, Junior Sister Zhou, Elder Zhao said that if this is the case, let's You must not close the gate tightly and resist passively, I am afraid this is a tough battle, so you should go to the elders hall quickly, he has something important to tell you, and ask you to immediately take people out of Shuzhong to report the news to the master."
Zhou Fei couldn't help grasping Old Yu's unusually dead hand.
She understood, this was the meaning of letting her run away.
Elder Zhao also said that she should be used as a "personal person", but he changed his mind so quickly, and the situation at the foot of the mountain was definitely not optimistic.
When Zhou Fei is alone, she can take risks or fish in troubled waters. When she has friends who need to be cared for and rescued, she can make a promise and learn to forbear for others. , When it was all the idle teahouses and chess halls and bazaars at the foot of the mountain... She felt as if she was tightly bound by a thousand layers of dragging machines, and it was very likely that she would cut something off her body with a single breath.
"I..." Zhou Fei tried to clear her mind in the chaos, but she couldn't. She even forgot that there was a dead person beside her. The old man collapsed softly and carried it to the ground.
Zhou Fei hurriedly supported him.
By the way, she didn't even know if the pulling machine in the Mojiang River could be opened smoothly.
At that moment, Zhou Fei's nose was sore, and a feeling of weakness and grievance suddenly surged up in her heart, and she couldn't spit out or swallow.
Only Xie Yun, who was standing beside her, saw her eyes that suddenly started to turn red.
In an instant, Xie Yun's heart softened, and he thought to himself, "Forget it."
The life and death of Forty-Eight Villages should not rest on this thin shoulder, it's ridiculous.
Xie Yun recalled his previous thoughts as if he had all kinds of demonic obstacles, and couldn't help laughing at himself, and said to himself: "You coward, do you still expect to get some comfort from others when you were powerless?"
He shook his head and saw that Zhou Fei's face was looking more and more flawless under the weak light. Her face was like white porcelain and her eyes were like glazed glass. She was worthy of the title of "beauty".
Xie Yun suddenly just let her lie in his arms and cry bitterly, smoothing her long soft hair, and taking her out of here according to the thoughts of her elders.
As for the future... In this world, who hasn't had a broken family before
Zhou Fei bent down to help Lao Yu. When she lowered her head, the sound of the waves washing the Mo River merged and poured into her ears heavily. She took up Lao Lao's heavy body and remembered that she was trapped in the Xi Mo River. For the first time, Lao forced her to sit in the terrifying Jiang Xin and close her eyes to "practice the sword".
"It's useless to blindly make a fool of yourself. The old artist outside has more somersaults than you. Will it be light? You just have to calm down, don't be in a hurry, don't panic, and take out all the distracting thoughts in your heart. Throw it away so that you can see your knife clearly, otherwise, what kind of great weapon do you expect to be? I see, at most, the manipulators of the river can cultivate you into a big flea that jumps up and down."
"Don't be in a hurry, don't panic, just take out the distracting thoughts in your heart and throw them away." Zhou Fei took a deep breath and said these words silently. She bent down and stood beside Mr. Yu for a while, her eyebrows low. drooping, as if listening to the whispers of the dead.
Yes, she's not dying yet!
Zhou Fei stood up straight without warning, and just missed Xie Yun's hand to help her. She was like a thin bamboo that was not prepared very well, not as thick as a firewood stick. A gust of wind could bend her waist, but every time a little bit of wind came, it could bend her waist. With room to breathe, she can always stand by herself.
Xie Yun subconsciously curled up his fingers and looked at her with some astonishment.
"Two senior brothers," Zhou Fei instructed, "Take Uncle Yu Tai up there—is there anyone who can manipulate the puller? Forget it, I won't even try it. When I open the puller, carry Yu Lao with me. Let's go to the Elder Hall together."
Someone next to him couldn't help but ask, "Take Lao Yu to the Elder Hall?"
Zhou Fei: "That's right, when the murderer's head is recovered, come back and bury it together."
When a group of young disciples suddenly encountered a major event, they were a little bit helpless. After listening to her every word, she was very firm, and instinctively obeyed the order. They immediately found a few people to step forward, and lightly carried Yu Lao's body away. The rattan that came when he climbed up again.
Zhou Fei said to Li Yan again: "I told you to come down, I wanted you to kowtow to Master Yu Taishi, but it's too late, you go up and wait for me first."
While on the shore, Zhou Fei was powerful to Li Yan, but she was just a friend and sister worthy of admiration. However, at this time, Li Yan suddenly felt that she had become Senior Brother Lin Hao, Elder Zhao... and even the master of Li Someone who can hide behind her in times of crisis.
Li Yan instinctively obeyed her words. No matter how afraid of heights, she didn't dare to be long-winded. As soon as she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, she took a deep breath, grabbed a cane, and climbed up with her eyes closed.
Zhou Fei saw that she was already in the air, so she followed her memory and pushed away the wall of the mechanism that Yu Lao controlled the machine.
Xie Yun folded her arms in front of her chest and watched her standing in front of the complicated mechanism. She didn't act rashly, as if she was carefully recalling something. After checking back and forth a few times, she carefully moved the mechanism on the wall and washed the ink in the middle of the river. There was a loud noise, and the calm waves suddenly intensified, and the ground of Jiang Xinxiao Pavilion trembled. Zhou Fei immediately realized that she had made a mistake—Old Yu said that when she was running around, it was a joke. Yes, quietly and silently lurking underwater, waiting for one-hit kills to be fully open—she quickly snapped back the mechanism that was pushed open, and the "rumbling sound" came to an end.
Xie Yun said: "Gen Gong is 'birth', I guess you mean to let Qian Ji 'retire'."
Old Yu had demonstrated in front of her how to control the pull machine many times, but unfortunately Zhou Fei's eyes were leaking, and she had taken it all for a while, and never took it to heart. This meeting can only be tested with a vague impression and even guessing, and then turned back to Xie Yun and said, "Will you do it?"
"Qimen Dunjia understands a little bit of fur." Xie Yun said, "Qianji can't understand."
Zhou Fei looked at him with a bit of surprise. She didn't expect that there was still something Xie Yun didn't know about in the world. Xie Yun sat on Yu Lao's table and didn't help or rush her, but just stared at her meaningfully. Look, Zhou Fei was inexplicably uncomfortable, and subconsciously raised her sleeves and wiped her face twice: "If you don't know, don't make trouble, go out and wait for me, and come back and tell me after seeing what happens to the machine."
Except for Xie Yun who refused to obey, the other disciples all filed out to observe the movement of Qiu Ji outside Jiang Xinxiao Pavilion.
Zhou Fei thought for a while, reached out and gestured under her ear, remembering that the little old man Yu Taishi was about this tall, and then she bent her knees to make herself half head shorter under Xie Yun's expression of crying and laughing, recalling Watching the scene where Mr. Yu was standing here talking every day, Zhou Fei remembered that he had a set of formulas that came with him, like "One, two, three, four, five..."
She took a few steps sideways in front of the lead machine wall, flipped the fifth lock in front of her sight, and there was a dull thunder-like sound in the Mo River.
"It's a bit similar this time." Zhou Fei thought.
Xie Yun: "Could the next sentence be 'Go up the mountain to fight tigers'?"
Zhou Fei: "...Shut up."
Xie Yun guessed so accurately, maybe a man who is not in harmony in the world has a unique heart - the next sentence is really "going up the mountain to fight tigers", every time the old man finished reading this sentence, he had to jump on the spot.
Zhou Fei recited this "formula" silently, and at the fifth step, imitating his old man's movements, she jumped up slightly, a protruding spring immediately touched the tip of her finger, and she "swiped" and flicked it. , Xie Yun turned to look at the Ximo River, and saw that the pulling line that emerged from the water on the river made a sound of "hiuuuu" and began to sink in an orderly manner.
Xie Yun; "… "
… is that okay
Zhou Fei let out a long breath and pinched the bridge of her nose—the next action was even more embarrassing. Lao Yu usually carried a small footstool while he was talking about "Tigers don't eat", and he stepped on it and still If you can't reach it, you have to take a small broom and slap it up - it's "beating you bastard".
She dragged Yu Lao's small bench, picked up the small broom hanging next to it and climbed up. Just as she was about to shoot, she remembered something, turned her head and said to Xie Yun, who was watching with interest: "What to look at, don't look at it!"
Xie Yun put one hand on his chest, stared deeply at Zhou Fei, and said with a serious face: "The beauty is so charming, I am very heartbroken when I see it."
Xie Yun's almost affectionate remarks can be called provocative... If Zhou Fei is not a glorious image of stepping on a stool and waving a broom.
This bastard can't help it, it's still playing around!
Zhou Fei decisively lifted the bald broom in her hand, and said to Xie Yun decisively, "Get out!"
Xie Yun lowered his head and laughed.
Zhou Fei rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and imitated Uncle Yu Tai to wave the "sacred broom" and slapped the wall. where.
There was a loud noise from the wall of the trap, and the ground of the small pavilion in Jiangxin swayed immediately - it turns out that Yu Lao usually only orders the puller to return when the puller has been partially opened, which is equivalent to gently pulling the half-opened scabbard. Open, this time because of Kou Dan's hands and feet, the pulling machine really stopped completely, which is equivalent to re-opening the fully closed scabbard, so the movement was particularly loud.
Zhou Fei was taken aback, one of them didn't stand firm, and actually stepped on the empty stool with one foot.
Xie Yun, who was leaning lazily beside the wooden table, suddenly swept over like a gust of wind, caught her, lowered his head, his lips brushed Zhou Fei's ears intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered, "Be careful."
No matter how slow Zhou Fei was, she felt that something was wrong, and she pushed Xie Yun away the moment she stood firm, feeling the heat from her ears stretched to her face along the way, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Xie Yun's innocent face, he straightened his sleeves as if nothing was wrong.
Zhou Fei was a little embarrassed, thinking that she was suspicious, she coughed dryly, and was about to say something when she heard Xie Yun say: "Oh, I said girl, you are too thin, your body is almost harder than me. "
Zhou Fei: "…"
Soft bastard, die now!
