Chapter 420 It’s like a lifetime ago
Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the two men's words. In fact, his question was a bit redundant. You must know that warriors are different from ordinary soldiers. The higher their rank, the more they respect their status and rarely do despicable things.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's face became slightly clearer, the two of them were relieved. They had never met Wu Zhongyuan before, and had only heard of some of his deeds. Today they had truly learned about his methods. Wu Zhongyuan was not afraid of the Bird Clan at all, and could be said to be completely reckless. , the Lord of Dongyuan City of the Bird Clan will kill him whenever he says.
Fearing that the two of them were lying, Wu Zhongyuan once again confirmed, "Are you serious?"
"We just took her. We did not humiliate or beat her, nor did we offend her." Middle-aged Ju Shan waved his hands repeatedly, "If we knew the relationship between the woman and the adult, we would never dare to be rude and offend."
"How is her injury?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"I hurt my right arm," middle-aged Jushan replied. After finishing his words, he hurriedly added, "It's just a bruise on the skin and flesh, not a broken muscle or bone."
"Who hurt her?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the middle-aged Jushan looked frightened and looked at the old Jushan nervously. The old Jushan was afraid that Wu Zhongyuan might misunderstand that it was him, so his expression changed drastically. You two looked at me, Wu looked at you, and finally They all looked at Li Tao who had fallen to the ground and died. Although there was no direct evidence, the unspoken implication was that Li Tao had done it.
Wu Zhongyuan glanced at the middle-aged Jushan coldly, "Did you do it?"
The middle-aged Ju Shan was already frightened. When he heard what he said, he was so frightened that he broke into sweat.
But what he didn't expect was that Wu Zhongyuan did not punish him for this, but asked casually, "If you don't know about her relationship with me, why did you all deny it when I came here to investigate the matter?"
"Your Excellency," said the middle-aged Jushan, raising his hand to wipe his sweat, "we really didn't know that woman recognized you, Sir. We just saw that she was breathing clouds and mist. She was an abnormal person. The hidden weapons she used were extremely powerful and supernatural, so we pursued her." The purpose of capturing him is to ask him for his magical skills in creation. Li Ding Taixuan was afraid that the news would leak out and attract others to fight for him, so he made this explanation."
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer. The middle-aged Jushan's explanation was quite reasonable. Although there was a gun at this time, it was a very primitive earth gun. The properties of gun and gun are different. The gun can only explode. Cannot be used to ****.
"Who was traveling with Li Ding? How did they leave?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
Now that the matter has come to an end, there is no need for the two of them to hide anything. The old man Jushan said, "Li Mu Dongyuan and Li Ding Taixuan were walking together. There are four horses in Jiuluan Posthouse that are good at riding in the snow.
The two adults each drove a carriage and headed south to Jiuli. "
Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Although the masters of purple energy could fly across the sky, they could not carry too much weight, and there were few birds in the bird tribe. Li Ding and Li Mu wanted to return to Jiuli with Wang Xinran, guns and ammunition, so they could only use a carriage.
"How fast can a horse run in the snow?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"We travel a thousand by day and eight hundred by night." The middle-aged man who lives in the mountains raised his hand and pointed south, "The two adults set out at noon yesterday. If you set off earlier, you should be able to stop them."
When Wu Zhongyuan heard this, he glanced at the middle-aged Jushan again. This guy was eager for him to leave immediately. In fact, this place was only two thousand miles away from Jiuli. If Li Ding and Li Mu had been hurrying along the way, it would never be more than three thousand miles away from Jiuli. A hundred miles away, it is impossible for ordinary warriors living in the mountains to catch up.
But he had the Green Dragon Armor with him, and he hoped to catch up with the two before they rushed back to Jiuli. Since he was looking for trouble, he skipped the polite farewells and just left, flying high in the air and heading south quickly.
After confirming that Wang Xinran was not seriously injured, the tension in Wu Zhongyuan's heart was slightly relieved. As the saying goes, he who does not know is not guilty. Although this matter was caused by the Bird Clan, it was not deliberately targeted at him. You must know that Wang Xinran was speaking modern language, and it was impossible to follow him. They communicated normally and could not tell the Bird Tribe about their relationship. The Bird Tribe just wanted to force Wang Xinran to teach them the art of sex.
Although he is not afraid of the Bird Clan, he does not want to start a head-on war with the Bird Clan. As long as he rescues Wang Xinran, the matter will be over. There is no need to go on a killing spree. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Wang Xinran was not harmed on the way to the south. .
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed two white shadows flying past not far away. I looked closely and saw that they were two white falcons.
He has never seen this kind of falcon, but he heard the old blind man say that this kind of falcon is called Haidongqing, and it is the fastest flying messenger bird. Jiuluan, as the important town in the northern border of the bird tribe, is likely to be equipped with This kind of messenger bird.
If you look closely, you will see that it is indeed a trust bird, because there is a small bamboo tube tied to the bird's legs.
Although Hai Dongqing flew very fast, his speed was much slower than that of Third Master, and it was even different from the speed of Qinglong Jia. The reason why he was able to surpass him was because he had been thinking deeply before and did not accelerate at full speed. .
His mind flashed and accelerated suddenly. When two moving objects reached the same speed, the other party was still for both parties. Wu Zhongyuan caught up with and caught one of the sea greens, and took off the bamboo tube on the bird's leg. .
He took out the strip of cloth from the bamboo tube and read it slowly. It read, 'The demon girl has a close relationship with Wu Zhongyuan. Wu Zhongyuan killed Lord Li Tao and was heading to Jiuli. ’
After reading the words on the banner, Wu Zhongyuan frowned slightly. He frowned not because Jiuluan City released flying messenger birds to tell the news, but because the other party called Wang Xinran a witch, which was a very derogatory name.
But then I thought about it, and the reason why the other party called Wang Xinran a witch was not to insult her, but because they might have seen Wang Xinran smoking, and puffing on smoke was indeed not what ordinary people do.
The other Haidongqing did not fly out of his sight at this time, but Wu Zhongyuan did not chase it after pondering. He had to let Li Tai and others see Jiuluan's flying bird message so that they could be prepared. The so-called preparation did not mean Instead of preparing how to deal with him, he gave the other party a chance to come up with an excuse and treat the matter as a misunderstanding.
Make up your mind, focus on everything, and accelerate with all your strength. The so-called full acceleration is not the movement speed of the Qinglong Armor, but the reaction limit of Jushan's cultivation. You must know that although the Qinglong Armor has a strong protective effect, it cannot completely eliminate the strong The shock caused by the impact, at such a fast speed, he couldn't bear it, let alone hitting a mountain, even hitting a medium-sized bird.
At sunset, Wu Zhongyuan arrived at Jiuli City. He didn't know which road Li Ding and others were taking, so he couldn't follow the route. He could only go ahead and wait outside Jiuli City.
Jiuli is the capital of the Bird Clan. The city is very large, with doors opening in all directions. Wu Zhongyuan fell outside the north gate. When he arrived, the city gate was already closed. There were soldiers guarding the city on the wall. They shouted a few times. Seeing no answer from him, he hurriedly ran to report to the warriors defending the city.
Before the warriors who defended the city arrived, a shout came from the woods to the north. Wu Zhongyuan had dealt with Li Ding before and was familiar with his voice. This shout probably came from Li Ding's mouth.
Although I heard the shouts from the chariot, I never heard the sound of horse hooves, which meant that the carriage was still some distance away. If the shouts from the chariot could spread so far, who else could it be but Li Ding?
After a while, the soldiers guarding the city led the warriors to the tower. The soldiers did not recognize Wu Zhongyuan, but the warrior did. Seeing him standing outside the city, the secret passage was not good, so he quickly ran down the tower and reported to the city.
A few minutes later, Wu Zhongyuan heard the sound of horse hooves. After waiting for a while, two sea turtles flew from the north and threw themselves into the city one after the other.
Not long after, a carriage with two horses and a shaft galloped out of the forest. Due to the cold weather, the person driving the shaft was wearing a leather hat with ear protection, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure was undoubtedly that of Li Ding.
There are two carriages in total, and the horses driving the shafts are all black-haired and white-hooved. They are undoubtedly the fast horses of Jiuluan City that ride on the snow.
"Open the city gate." Li Ding shouted angrily.
The soldiers guarding the city heard the cry and hurriedly went down to open the door. The gate was so tall and heavy that it took more than a dozen people to open it.
But when the gate opened, the two carriages did not drive in, but stopped outside the city.
Li Ding naturally recognized Wu Zhongyuan. When he saw that he was wearing green dragon armor and blocking the way, and his expression was not friendly, he did not dare to touch him head-on, so he had to rein in his horse and stop.
Li Ding was very disgusted with Wu Zhongyuan and was not angry, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked towards the carriage.
Seeing him approaching the carriage, Li Ding let go of the reins, grabbed his spear and jumped off, "Stop!"
"Get out of the way, don't force me to kill you." Wu Zhongyuan spoke with a trembling voice. He was less than five meters away from the carriage and could clearly hear Wang Xinran's breathing. After he spoke, Wang Xinran's breathing suddenly disappeared. To be precise, There was a pause, followed by rapid breathing.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Li Ding glared at him.
"It's me, you heard me right." Wu Zhongyuan spoke modern language.
Li Ding frowned in confusion, "What did you say?"
Wu Zhongyuan ignored him and walked towards the car again.
Li Ding reached out with his right hand and blocked it with his spear, "Stop."
Wu Zhongyuan suddenly took action, pulled out his long sword, cut off the spear, and continued moving forward.
Li Ding was stunned and threw away the spear shaft, roaring and exerting force, intending to take action.
"Stop!" Li Tai's voice came from the city gate.
Hearing Li Tai's shout, Li Ding had no choice but to stop his momentum and turn around to look back.
At this time, Wu Zhongyuan had already walked to the carriage and raised his hand to lift the curtain.
The moment he lifted the curtain, his excitement and nervousness disappeared, because he saw the person he wanted to see. Wang Xinran was lying in the carriage. The bird tribe really regarded her as a witch, tied up like a rice dumpling, maybe I was afraid that her mouth would be blocked and her eyes would be blinded if she recited the incantation and practiced the method.
"Oh, what kind of treatment is this." Wu Zhongyuan laughed.
Wang Xinran was gagged and couldn't speak. He could only twist and struggle, whining anxiously.
"Don't move." Wu Zhongyuan took Wang Xinran out of the carriage, first pulled out the gag cloth, and then removed the blindfold.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan, Wang Xinran was relieved and took a long breath, "Let me go quickly."
Wu Zhongyuan raised his sword upside down and cut the rope.
Wang Xinran pulled off the rope and broke free, holding on to the carriage and gasping for air.
"You don't seem to be excited at all when you see me?" Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.
Wang Xinran frowned and looked at him.
"Shouldn't you be very excited and rush over to hug me?" Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Exactly." Wang Xinran looked contemptuous.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled happily, such a familiar face, such a familiar expression, such a familiar tone...
