Bringing Up the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 80 - The Praying Mantis Catch the Cicada
"Momen disciples each have their own strengths. Patriarch Chi'an traveled to the mainland of China and acquired hundreds of exercises and countless strange arts. When Momen disciples traveled to various countries, they did not rely solely on force to resolve disputes. Therefore, Momen disciples will
Choose exercises based on your own strengths."
Chi Tianya patiently explained to Gu Xiao and Lin'er.
"When the Mo sect was at its peak, there were thousands of disciples under the sect. They practiced martial arts, cultivated literature, studied medicine, followed, and assassinated, each with their own strengths. But later on, the sect gradually declined, and most of the disciples of the Mo sect seldom studied other sects other than martial arts.
Law, but..."
Chi Tianya changed the topic and continued: "Back then, there was a junior brother in my lineage who was very successful in tracking and tracking. When Chi Qianren betrayed the Mo Clan, this junior brother also went with him, but
Based on my understanding of him, this person can still distinguish right from wrong in his heart. He was also forced by the situation at the time, and I don't blame him."
Gu Xiao seemed to have heard some clues from Chi Tianya's words, and asked: "According to Brother Chi's words, what about the people outside the inn who are staring at us?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be my junior brother Chixin."
In Chi Tianya's heart, Junior Brother Chi Xin did not use any means to achieve his goals like Chi Chiren. He just chose to leave Momen together with Chi Chiren because he did not want to live a life of fearful escape anymore.
Now that we meet again, Chi Tianya can't help but feel a little emotional.
Seeing Chi Tianya's expression, Gu Xiao knew that he was thinking of the Momen Incident again, so he changed the topic to the guests in the Tianzi Room: "Brother Chi, if you can intercept and kill Wan Jun according to those three people's conversation, how can you be so clever?"
Qianren wants you and sister to go to Lingzhou, a certain..."
"Could it be that Chi Qianren felt that he was not capable of killing a big shot like Wan Jun. If he added Brother Tianya's manpower, the chance of success would be greatly increased, so he had the yin and yang face in the Yuelai Inn before.
The two of them forced my sister."
Lin'er was teasing Ta Xue, thinking carefully about what happened in the past few days in his mind, and by connecting these things together, he already understood the plan of Shake Qianren.
"Miss Lin'er is really smart. Since then, whether it's Judge Yin Yang or the people who are following her now, all this has been explained clearly." Chi Tianya said with a smile.
"So, they just want to intercept and kill General Wan with the help of Brother Tianya." Gu Xiao's eyes showed murderous intent. After learning about the evil deeds of this group of people from Chi Tianya's mouth, Gu Xiao was already angry in his heart.
No wonder, now these people actually want to intercept and kill the Northern Commander.
The general guarding the northern border was killed. As a result, the border between Qi and Jin would inevitably be in chaos. By then, the people on the border would be harassed again. Gu Xiao did not dare to think about it any further.
He immediately stood up and said, "No, I have to stop them."
"Brother Mu, please be patient. According to the conversation between the three people in the room, it will take some time before the interception and killing is done. We haven't arrived in Lingzhou and Chi Qianren is not completely sure, so we will never do it.
For the current plan, we need to learn more details about the interception from the mysterious person in Tianzifang, so that we can make preparations in advance."
Seeing that Gu Xiao couldn't hold his breath, Chi Tianya opened his mouth to persuade Gu Xiao to come back.
"We are interviewing him rashly, I'm afraid that person won't believe us." Gu Xiao knew that he was a little impulsive. Thinking about it carefully, Chi Qianren forced Brother Tianya to go to Lingzhou just to increase manpower so that the interception and killing could be carried out in one go.
After being hit, I was indeed a little confused.
Sitting down again, Gu Xiao spoke out what he was worried about. Even if Brother Tianya took everyone to Lingzhou to meet with Chi Qianren, Chi Qianren would not inform him about the interception. If he wanted to know the details, I'm afraid It's all on that person from Tianzifang.
"What Brother Mu said is what I think. We have to find an opportunity to talk to that person and reveal his identity. In this way, I think he will tell the truth." Chi Tianya silently thought about it in his mind. I plan to reveal my identity to the person in Tianzifang.
Just as Gu Xiao and Chi Tianya were discussing how to reveal their identities to the guests of the Tianzi Room, they heard the sound of the door of the Tianzi Room opening, and then heard the sound of people going downstairs.
Gu Xiao nodded slightly at Lin'er, Lin'er understood, pushed the door open a little, and looked down, it turned out that the guest of that day's room hurriedly left the inn.
After getting an affirmative answer from Lin'er's eyes, Gu Xiao and Chi Tianya pushed the window open a crack and watched the man walking straight towards the town.
Outside the inn, the three Yandianguo people who had been hiding in the crowd were discussing how to avoid Chi Tianya and take Shen Yulou's head.
They saw Shen Yulou walking out of the inn towards the southwest of Lingliang Town. The three of them saw that Shen Yulou was walking alone and concluded that he had nothing to do with Chi Tianya. After discussion, the three of them decided that they should take Shen Yulou's life first. The most important thing was that they no longer bothered with Chi Tianya and the others, and the three of them followed Shen Yulou all the way.
When Chi Tianya saw three familiar faces emerging from the crowd at the inn, he already knew in his heart that the guests in Tianzi Room must have inadvertently learned about Chi Qianren's plan to kill Wan Jun. These three junior brothers of his were He must have been ordered by Chi Qianren to destroy this man's mouth.
With this in mind, Chi Tianya said to Gu Xiao: "Brother Mu, these three people were specialized in spying and assassinating people when they were in Momen. If I guess correctly, Chi Qianren is going to kill that person."
"Yes, regardless of whether the interception can be successful or not, if I were a Chi Qianren, I would not be able to bear such a witness." Gu Xiao also agreed with Chi Tianya's view.
Chi Tianya smiled and said: "In the past when Mo Sect was here, I only competed with my brothers in the sect. In this way, it has been many years since I have competed with my brothers. I would like to take this opportunity to come and see what I am doing." Have these three junior brothers made any progress?"
"Since Brother Tianya is going, how about I accompany him? We have to save this man's life."
"Okay. Of course it's best if Brother Mu goes with me." When Chi Tianya saw that Gu Xiao wanted to go with him, he immediately made up his mind to save that man's life.
"What about me? I also want to join in the fun." Lin'er saw the two of you and I agreed on the rescue. With Lin'er's temperament, how could he miss this opportunity to watch the fun.
Of course, this was only one of the reasons. Lin'er was more worried about Gu Xiao's safety. Along the way, whether it was Uncle Kui, Aunt Kui, Brother Chi, or Sister Ai, they told Lin'er a lot of Momen stories. listen.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Momen, and they are all involved in martial arts and heresy. Therefore, when Lin'er heard that Gu and Xiao were going to save people from the three people who were following them, Lin'er was worried about Gu Xiao and wanted to go with them.
Gu Xiao, of course, knew Lin'er's temperament and advised: "These three people are all masters. Brother Tianya and I are here to save people. You stay here and explain the details to sister. Brother Tianya and I are saving people." Return immediately after marrying someone."
Lin'er looked at Gu Xiao's serious expression and knew that this was not just for fun. She immediately picked up Ta Xue and nodded: "Then be careful and don't show off."
Looking at Lin'er's concerned look, Gu Xiao couldn't help but blurt out: "Don't worry, I'm self-reflective, you have to be careful here too."
Chi Tianya was standing by and saw the expressions of the two of them. It was not like Lin'er said before that they met by chance and had the same goals. They were clearly a pair of mandarin ducks caring for each other.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and Chi Tianya teased. "Miss Lin'er, please rest assured. With Brother Mu's skills, he is more than enough to fight against my three incompetent junior brothers alone. What's more, I will also go with you. I guarantee that when I return,
I will give you a complete brother Muyi."
As soon as Chi Tianya said these words, Lin'er's pretty face immediately turned red. She just picked up Ta Xue and left the room without looking back. Then a clear voice came: "I'm not worried about him, it's just that the excitement is too busy."
After watching it, I felt a little...a little frustrated."
Gu Xiao was left speechless by Chi Tianya's joking remarks, and when he usually spoke with eloquence, he became stumbling: "Brother Tianya, you...you misunderstood."
When Chi Tianya saw this, he laughed and said: "Okay, let's set off quickly. If we don't chase after him, we might not be able to catch up."
After saying that, the two of them left the inn, picked up their Qinggong and chased towards the northwest of Lingliang Town.
——
Shen Yulou didn't know the inside story. He only knew that the three people following him behind him were eavesdroppers in the inn.
Ten miles southwest of Lingliang Town, there was a village here with hundreds of households. Later, after the Qi-Jin War, most of the villagers in this village died in the war, and the people who survived also fled the village.
This place became a deserted place.
When Shen Yulou fled to Lingzhou, he passed by this village. Now Shen Yulou walked firmly towards this abandoned village, knowing in his heart that this was probably his burial place.
Fortunately, he met the Song brothers and his wife in Lingliang Town. If he and his wife had informed him about Wan Jun's interception and killing in time, his life would not have been in vain.
Thinking of this, Shen Yulou slowed down his steps and tilted his head slightly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the three people had hidden themselves by the surrounding terrain, but Shen Yulou knew that the three people were behind him.
Shen Yulou looked up and saw that the night was already dark, and the crescent moon had climbed up into the night sky at some point. Only the moonlight accompanied him on the road to hell, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.
Thinking of his dead brothers, and then thinking of the three Ming brothers who fought desperately to save him, Shen Yulou felt guilty. After all, he failed to save his life and found an opportunity to avenge them.
Then I thought, if the Song brothers and their wife could save Wan Jun, they would have deserved their death.
Smiling to himself, Shen Yulou stopped and when he raised his head, he found that he had already reached the deserted village. Hearing the footsteps approaching behind him, Shen Yulou suddenly turned around.
The snow behind him reflects the cold light against the moonlight. I don't know whether it is the moonlight or the light reflected by the snow on the ground. The reflection on Shen Yulou's face is extremely cold.
"Okay, this place is deserted for several miles. If you are a man, please show up and meet me." Shen Yulou spoke loudly, and the echo of sorrow was particularly loud in the empty place.
"Swish, swish, swish." Three black figures appeared out of nowhere. All three of them were wearing black clothes and stood still. Two of them were carrying single swords, and one was holding a pipe and pot in his hand. The three of them looked at each other coldly. across Shen Yulou's cheek.
With a sneer, Shen Yulou said, "Looking at how tired you three are, chasing them all the way from Xiaolou Peak is quite hard."
"You are quite smart." One of the men with a hooked nose said coldly.
"Now that you know why we are here, just hold your neck and wait for death. Don't worry, my knife is very fast and there will be no pain." The thin-faced man in black said.
Shen Yulou's heart felt calm. For him, who had already died once, death was not that terrible.
At this moment, I just wanted to delay these three people as long as possible. I looked at the other person, but that person did not do what these two people did. He just took out the firebrand from his arms and lit the pipe pot in his hand, "Bah, bah. "Smoking.
