Chapter 52 The History and Current Situation of Zhao Muhui
Zhao Rui looked at the watery ground and suddenly said: "We can leave, there is no need to fight anymore." Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, then understood and asked: "Is it raining? The rain washed away the smell of people, black and white
Will the tiger not be able to track us?"
Zhao Rui and Ling Shuang nodded at the same time.
Ling Shuang said to Lu Jing: "There should be no tattoo troops ahead. We are going to the gathering place agreed in advance. Young Master, where are you going?"
Lu Jing said: "I want to go back to my home in Fengya City in the south."
Ling Shuang said with joy on her face: "Then young master, please come with us, our gathering place is also in the south!"
The three of them were walking in the heavy rain in the dense forest. Although each of them had a piece of tiger skin on their heads, their bodies below the chest were soon completely wet. The burns on Lu Jing's body and the scratches on his feet by the black tiger's claws
It was soaked by the rain, the wound was soaked and turned white, and the pain was unbearable.
In order to avoid pursuit, they never took the main road, but kept walking through the dense forest. After walking for dozens of miles, Lu Jing felt that his hands, feet and body were getting colder and colder, and his steps became heavier, and he gradually fell behind Zhao Ling.
.
The rain finally stopped, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the sky gradually became dark. Soon after, the moon appeared in the sky.
Zhao Rui and Ling Shuang deliberately slowed down and waited for Lu Jing. Later, Zhao Rui saw that Lu Jing's physical strength was getting worse and worse, so he offered to carry Lu Jing on his back, but Lu Jing struggled with his facial muscles to smile and declined Zhao Rui's offer.
kindness.
After walking for a few more miles, Lu Jing felt that the scenery in front of him was blurry, and he began to sway from side to side while walking, unable to maintain a straight line. Seeing this, Zhao Rui no longer asked Lu Jing for his opinion, and carried him on his back half-forcedly.
He handed Lu Jing's package to Ling Shuang to hold.
Although two pieces of tiger skin covered Lu Jing's head and back, he still felt very cold as his body was already soaked, and his head began to feel dizzy.
It was dark and light again. They walked for more than a day and night, and it was not until the evening of the next day that they finally arrived at their assembly place: a remote small village.
Although Zhao Rui had strong internal strength, he was already quite tired after walking for more than ten hours in the wet jungle with Lu Jing on his back. Ling Shuang's face was even pale and her lips were purple.
They walked into a remote farmhouse on the edge of the village, checked, and found that all the rooms were empty. Zhao Rui helped Lu Jing into a simple but clean room, let him sit on a chair, and said
: "This is our gathering place, you can rest first."
At this time, Lu Jing was extremely tired. Since he trusted Zhao Ling and the two of them, he was too lazy to think anymore, so he stood up, took off his wet clothes and pants, lay down on the bed, covered himself with a quilt, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Lu Jing woke up and opened his eyes, he only saw the sky was dim and couldn't tell whether it was morning or evening. He sat up and saw his package beside the bed, as well as a set of clean peasant clothes. He first touched his package
, I found a few treasures and golden tickets there, and felt a little relieved.
He thought about his injuries again, so he looked at the burns on his body and the tiger claw wounds on his feet, and saw that all the wounds on his body had been smeared with medicine. He thought about being treated with medicine while he was sleeping, but he didn't feel any pain.
When I noticed it, I couldn't help but feel grateful and ashamed at the same time.
Lu Jing put on his clothes and limped out of the room. He felt that the air after the rain was particularly refreshing and smelled of grass. He wanted to find the two companions, so he walked towards the house next to him.
The young man smelled the aroma of food, and then heard Ling Shuang's voice: "Sir, we are here."
Lu Jing looked towards where the sound came from and saw Ling Shuang changing into a clean peasant woman's clothes and sitting at a table in a room. The girl's beautiful eyes were looking at him tenderly, but the expression on her face was a frown.
Lu Jing walked into the room and saw Zhao Rui, also wearing ordinary farmer's clothes, sitting at the table with a solemn look on his face. There was a rice bowl on the table in front of both of them. The rice in the bowl was almost finished, and there was still rice on the table.
There are several simple dishes.
"Young Master looks good, is your injury better?" Zhao Rui asked, and then without waiting for Lu Jing to answer, he said: "Let's eat quickly." After saying that, he stood up, filled Lu Jing's bowl of rice, and placed it on the table.
.
Lu Jing said: "It looks better, thank you both." Then he sat down and started to eat. This dish was not as good as ordinary farm food, let alone the superb cooking skills of the chefs hired by Lu Jing's family, but at this time Lu Jing
I was hungry, so I ate with gusto.
After Lu Jing finished one bowl of rice, he took another half bowl and finished it before he felt full in his stomach.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he looked at Zhao Ling and Zhao Ling who looked sad, and asked: "Brother Zhao, Miss Ling, where is this place?"
Ling Shuang replied: "This is Chu State, and twenty miles to the northeast is the border between Lu and Chu. Chu State and Ting State have been at war with Ting State for many years, and the Ting Army will not cross the border between Lu and Chu to pursue us. So we are here
It’s safe.”
"I see." Lu Jing said with confidence, "My home is in Fengya City, it shouldn't be too far from here, right?".
"Fengya City is about sixty miles to the northeast. You can get there quickly by horseback." Zhao Rui replied.
Lu Jing said "Oh". He looked down at his injured foot and turned his ankle slightly. This action was caught by Ling Shuang.
"Young master, you can stay here to recover from your injuries for a few days, and then you can leave after you feel better," Ling Shuang said.
Lu Jing looked at Ling Shuang's fair and delicate face and smiled: "Thank you, Miss Ling. Although it is difficult for me to ride a horse now, I can always ride a carriage." He paused and then said: "By the way, I haven't done it yet.
I’m telling you my name.” Then he told Zhao Ling and Zhao Ling his name and how to write it.
Zhao Ling and Zhao Ling repeated Lu Jing's name softly.
Lu Jing looked embarrassed and said: "Well, it seems that I haven't recovered at all. I have to go home to slowly recover my internal strength."
Zhao Rui said: "The power of the young master's blue light is really shocking. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable. I wonder what kind of unique skill it is?"
"Well..." Lu Jing thought as he said: "When I was young, I had an adventure and got a rare treasure. That treasure changed my physique, so I developed that strange internal power that can emit this kind of blue light.
. There is only one treasure. Once I have used it, there will be no more."
Zhao Ling and Zhao Ling looked at Lu Jing intently and listened carefully.
Lu Jing really didn't want to talk about the "blue inner power" anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "I see that you two seem worried. Why are you worried?"
Zhao Ling and Zhao Ling glanced at each other. Then Zhao Rui said in a serious tone: "Since Mr. Lu fought a bloody battle with us yesterday, he can't be regarded as an outsider, so we won't hide it from you. This time we ambushed the Tui Army convoy.
A total of fifty-eight comrades-in-arms were dispatched, all of whom were martial arts masters from my "Zhao Muhui" Dongfang Hall. I thought that like last time, we could rob a large amount of property from the Ting Kingdom and use it as funds for anti-tattoo operations, and at the same time destroy the Ting Ting army.
Lu Guanxi. However, we did not expect to suffer such a disastrous defeat!"
When Zhao Rui said this, his expression was extremely painful.
Ling Shuang continued: "We have agreed before the operation that if the operation fails, we will disperse and flee, and then gather here. But now, it has been a night since we arrived here, and so far no comrades have come to join us.
