As the five of them galloped across the grassland, a golden wing descended from the sky and glided towards them.
Xu Laoliu caught the golden wing and took out the secret letter to check it. He then rode forward to catch up with Guan Fangyi and reported, "Big Sister, our men have sent news that Linghu Qiu and his two servants have been taken away by the imperial court."
Guan Fangyi turned to look at Niu Youdao, "You ordered your men to wait for this news?"
Niu Youdao tilted his head and gave an irrelevant answer, "Send a message to our men. Release the news in two days that Linghu Qiu and I have been secretly detained by the imperial court!"
Guan Fangyi asked, "What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao said in a deep voice, "Some things don't need everyone to understand. It's not a good thing. If you want to return to Qingshan County with me safely, do as I say!"
This reminded Guan Fangyi. She nodded thoughtfully and turned to Xu Laoliu, "Do as he says!"
"Yes, Big Sister!" Xu Old Sixth agreed and quickly stopped his mount. He jumped down to deal with the message he had to deliver and then gave chase!
Guan Fangyi, on the other hand, was looking at Niu Youdao with a strange expression.
Niu Youdao, who was occasionally looking around, accidentally met her eyes and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Guan Fangyi shook her head, "I finally understand now."
Niu Youdao asked, "What do you understand?"
Guan Fangyi said, "I finally understand why the imperial court didn't do anything to you after you killed the Yan envoy. You're so young, how can you be so cunning? You've made my hair stand on end. I'm really afraid that I'll be sold by you one day and I'll still be counting the money for you! "
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"What do you think?"
"The place where the High Clarity Sect's Dongguo Haoran cultivated when he was alive was called the Peach Blossom Spring. There was a thousand-year-old peach tree there, and the flowers bloomed all four seasons, resplendent like the sunset. It was extremely beautiful, and I stayed there for five years!"
"I know. You were under house arrest for five years. Are you trying to say that you didn't want to be under house arrest again? Excuses! If one's mind is crooked, then so be it! "
"I once composed a poem in the Peach Blossom Spring!"
"Huh? You can compose poems? "
"The Peach Blossom Temple in the Peach Blossom Cove, and the Peach Blossom Immortal in the Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and plucked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. When he is sober, he sits in front of the flowers. When he is drunk, he sleeps under the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, year after year, flowers bloomed and withered. I wish I could die of old age in wine and flowers, rather than bow in front of carriages and horses … "
Uncle Chen and Shen Qiu, who were following behind them, stared at him.
Guan Fangyi also stared blankly. She felt that this poem was extremely picturesque, and she could not help but fall into a leisurely mood.
Guan Fangyi seemed to understand what he meant. He was using this poem to express his feelings, to say that it was not his will to worry and take such risks.
She pondered for a moment before asking, "There should be a second half to this poem. Don't read half of it. Read it all together!"
"That's all." Niu Youdao shrugged.
"You're so boring!" Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes.
Niu Youdao shook his head and sighed, "It's already like this, there's really nothing else!"
Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Guan Fangyi was silent and muttered to herself, "When he is sober, he sits in front of the flowers. When he is drunk, he sleeps under the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers bloomed and withered, year after year … "She suddenly said loudly to Niu Youdao," If there's a chance, I must go to that Peach Blossom Land to take a look. Bring me there! "
Niu Youdao laughed and did not reply her. Instead, his mouth started to recite a strange tune, "I was originally an undisciplined person from Crouching Dragon Hill, relying on Yin and Yang to protect the universe …"
In the evening, there was another scenery on the other side of the grassland.
An official road that came from a faraway place and went to a faraway place crossed a mountain range that was rarely seen on the grassland.
Even though there were roads everywhere on the grassland, some of the direct official roads were after all deliberately repaired. They were flat and convenient for carriages and horses to travel quickly. From one place to another, walking in a straight line could also shorten the distance.
Swan geese were flying in the sky. On the official road in the mountain range, there were also five men riding on fine horses.
Just as they were about to run out of the mountain range, a golden wing flew over from the sky above the forest and directly pounced on the five riders. The leader reached out his hand to catch it.
However, when he opened the tube to take a look, he discovered that it was empty. There was no letter inside.
Just as that person was frowning, someone shouted from his left and right, "Be careful!"
That person suddenly raised his head and saw that in the undulating mountain forest in front of him, there were five huge flying beasts flying close to the mountain forest.
Fifteen human figures shot over from the five flying beasts. The five flying beasts flipped over and soared into the sky.
Five Profound Weapon Sect disciples tore off their cloaks in the air, revealing a set of dazzling battle armor. The scales on the battle armor shot over fiercely like shuttles.
The five people on the battle horses quickly shot out and soared into the sky.
"Neigh neigh …" The five rushing battle horses let out mournful cries and fell over. The ground was destroyed by the violent storm of scales, causing smoke and dust to rise in all directions. The five overturned battle horses twitched on the ground. Their bodies were covered in blood and they had already been shot into sieves.
The whizzing scales broke through the ground and shot into the ground before shooting out from the ground and into the sky. They gathered and intertwined like five silver dragons, chasing after the five people who soared into the sky.
Five balls of flames exploded in the sky and turned into five firebirds, flapping their wings and rushing towards the five people in the sky.
The five people who were fleeing wildly slashed their swords in the sky. Streams of sharp sword qi slashed out in all directions to obstruct the enemy!
The firebirds that were rushing over shot out fireballs one after another. It was as if they were exploding wildly, sparks shot out in all directions!
And those countless sharp scales were the fatal ones. They shot over from all directions and in addition to the powerful attacks of the five firebirds, in a flurry, the bodies of the five people who were fleeing already had blood splattered everywhere.
One person had just desperately rushed out of the encirclement of the scales and intended to rush into the forest to hide when he heard a deep shout, "The sword is like a mountain, breaking through a thousand catties!"
A majestic sword aura that was almost tangible appeared and came crashing over like a huge pillar.
That person turned around in panic, unable to dodge. He raised his sword with both hands to block and collided with the majestic sword aura.
Boom! Strong winds blew in all directions, and that person was sent flying on the spot. He spat out a mouthful of blood into the sky and fell to the ground, twitching.
In the sky, a ferocious bird chased after a fleeing golden wing. It reached out with its claws and grabbed it. The golden wing let out a mournful cry in the air …
The sudden and intense battle came and went quickly. The five ferocious birds that were circling in the sky also flapped their wings and landed on the ground.
Just as they were cleaning up the scene, a group of people appeared at the corner of the road ahead. Five large carriages pulled by four riders and dozens of people guarded them. They stopped at the road and looked at the scene of the battle.
A few disciples from the three major sects went forward and shouted, "Who are you?"
Next to the leading carriage, a person turned his mount and went to the carriage window. He said to the curtained window, "Sir, it's the disciples from the Great Hill Sect, the Dark Weapon Sect, and the Heaven Fire Order."
Someone in the carriage replied calmly, "Hmm."
The person who made the report immediately jumped off his mount and pulled up the curtain of the carriage.
There was a fair-skinned man sitting in the carriage. He stood up a few steps and bent down to get out of the carriage. He stood quietly on the shaft of the carriage and looked down at the disciples from the three major sects calmly.
The man was dressed elegantly in white and looked spotless. There were a few deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his gaze was calm and deep. There were some silver strands in his hair and beard. He was tall and had a dignified appearance. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person from his graceful bearing.
Seeing this person appear, a few disciples from the three major sects were stunned. They knew who this person was and quickly gathered their fellow disciples to stand in a row. They cupped their hands together and said, "The disciples of the Great Hill Sect, the Dark Weapon Sect, and the Heaven Fire Order greet Mister Yu Cang!"
All of them were respectful and courteous, not daring to show any disrespect.
They could not even be disrespectful. Not to mention them, even the leaders of the three major sects had to be courteous when they saw this person.
Mister Yu Cang was an expert ranked fifth on the Elixir Roll. He was a knowledgeable scholar and a master of the art of war. Almost all the countries had his students as generals. Even the General of Qi Country, Huyan Wuhen, had once visited him to listen to his guidance.
During the war between Jin Country, Wei Country, and Qi Country, this person had appeared to mediate for the three countries. He was very prestigious among the countries.
The most praiseworthy thing about Mister Yu Cang was his unparalleled loyalty. After his sworn brother passed away, he had always taken care of the orphan and widow left behind by his side. It was said that when he met his sister-in-law, there would always be someone beside him to avoid arousing suspicion. When he spoke to his sister-in-law, he would never raise his head to look her in the eyes.
This was a person who could discuss the world with the king in the court and discuss Dao with the leaders of the various sects in the wilderness.
It was said that he would bring a group of disciples to travel around the countries all year round. The disciples of the three major sects did not expect to meet him here.
Mister Yu Cang raised his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. He then pointed to the messy place after the fight and asked, "What are you doing?"
A disciple of the Great Qiu Clan replied, "We were ordered to capture the fugitive! May I know where you are going, Mister Yu Cang? "
Mister Yu Cang replied, "I was going to stay in the Qi Capital for a while. I didn't expect to bump into you. If we have disturbed you, we can just turn back and take a detour!"
The disciple of the Great Qiu Clan quickly said, "There's no need for that. We have disturbed you. Now that the matter has been resolved, please feel free to go. There's no need to take a detour!" He then called out to his companions.
The disciples of the three major sects moved quickly and moved the fallen horses away from the road. The potholes on the ground were also quickly leveled with their arts.
The five carriages moved forward again. The disciples of the three major sects stepped aside and sent them off by the roadside.
The curtains on both sides of the leading carriage were hung up. Mister Yu Cang, who was sitting upright in the carriage, glanced out of the window at the roadside. His gaze swept across the five people who were heavily injured and panting on the ground. He also saw the cages containing the Golden Wings that the disciples of the three sects had seized. The five large birds were even more eye-catching.
The Protectors on the horses to the left and right of the carriages only glanced at them indifferently. It seemed that no one was bothered by it.
After the disciples of the three major sects watched the carriages leave, they finally put down their hands and could not help but discuss among themselves.
"Do you think that the orphan and the widow are among the five carriages?"
"There should be. I heard that Mister Yu Cang brings them along with him to take care of them wherever he goes."
"Are the accompanying Protectors all Mister Yu Cang's disciples?"
"Some of them are. I've never seen some of them before. They don't look like they are young."
"Why are you worrying about this? Let's hurry up and settle the matter at hand first."
The carriages drove out of the mountains and entered the boundless grassland.
The setting sun shone on the group.
