Chapter 549: Reunion (Part 1)
On the official road, there is a lot of smoke and dust.
Two fast horses passed by, causing the shadows of the trees beside the road to sway wildly.
The cold wind blew across Hua Wuying's face. He turned his head and looked at Hua Xiaolan who was following him. The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Their faces were dusty, but their smiles were bright and bright.
It has been nearly ten days since I left Lingjingmen.
After returning to Jinse Town, they did not stop for a moment and immediately set off for Beijing. In addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, they spent the rest of the few days on the road.
They want to follow Lin Wangshu's words and go to Beijing to ask Mingjiange to help deal with the relocation of civilians in the Black Mountain Islands and surrounding areas.
And Lin Wangshu kept his promise, led the disciples, and set off for southern Xinjiang.
After nearly ten days of running, the huge outline of the capital is already in sight.
“困——”
Hua Wuying pulled the reins and shouted, stopping the horse. Hua Xiaolan followed closely, and they both slowed down at the same time.
For no other reason, just because a huge team appeared in front, almost blocking the entire official road. Many civilians and caravans going to Beijing were blocked and could only follow slowly. With.
"What's going on?" Hua Wuying looked from a distance: "It seems, are they officers and soldiers?"
Hua Xiaolan came to his side and stretched out her hand to cover her eyebrows to block the dazzling sunlight. , said softly: "They are officers and soldiers, and they seem to be guarding many people."
"The capital is coming soon." Hua Wuying said: "Don't be in a hurry, just follow behind to avoid any complications."
Hua Xiaolan nodded slightly.
The two slowed down and followed the large team not far away, mixing in among the civilians and caravans.
"Hot wine! Just warmed hot wine!"
In the crowd, someone shouted loudly: "Five cents a bowl, warm yourself up!"
After the Cold Prayer Festival, it was almost winter. These people were blocked on the official road and the cold wind blew, and they were all shivering.
So some smart businessmen started selling hot wine temporarily.
There was a small stove lit on his donkey cart, and a pot was set up on the stove. A shallow layer of hot water was bubbling in the pot. Bowls of rice wine were placed in it, and hot smoke was rising. .
People bundled up in clothes tightly blown by the cold wind saw this scene and listened to the hawking. Soon some people couldn't bear it and stepped forward to buy wine.
Hua Wuying smiled at Hua Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, it's very cold today and you are still weak. Have a drink?"
Hua Xiaolan blinked her big eyes and was blown away by the cold wind. After blowing all the way, his face turned pale: "I don't like drinking, I only drink two sips at most."
"Then just buy one bowl. If you can't finish it, I'll drink it." Hua Wuying said with a smile.
After saying that, he jumped off the horse and led the horse towards the businessman.
Squeezing through the crowd, he quickly threw down five cents and bought a bowl of wine - but there were many people buying wine, so he had to wait.
At this moment, the voices of several drinking men next to him penetrated his ears.
"I'm so annoyed. What's going on? The roads are blocked. It's so cold that my legs are stiff. When can I enter Beijing..."
"Why are you so anxious? You dare to rush the officials when they are doing something? Haven't you seen so many people being detained?"
"Oh, I don't dare to be anxious, so I just complain... So what exactly is going on? Arrested so many people at once?”
“Which local family committed the crime?”
“Don’t know?”
< br>A man smiled showily: "Brother, I just had the courage to go over and inquire! These are all Jianghu people!"
"Jianghu people?" The other people were obviously interested: "What did they commit? Murdered?"
"I don't know." The man said: "I only heard that it seemed What kind of people are they...from the Wulin League?"
Wulin League? !
Hua Wuying, who was waiting for the hot wine, suddenly shrank!
He didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he immediately turned his head and looked towards the big team. He didn't pay special attention just now, but now when he looked carefully, he actually saw many familiar people!
Those back figures and outlines are clearly my junior brothers and sisters!
Now they are all disheveled, tied together with iron chains, escorted by officers and soldiers, and walking slowly and dejectedly!
Hua Wuying was so shocked that he couldn't think about anything anymore. He squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the big team in front.
"Hey, sir! Sir! Your wine is ready!" The wine seller was still holding the wine bowl in his hand, but he saw that Hua Wuying had disappeared.
Hua Xiaolan sat on the horse, looking at Hua Wuying's figure in the distance, and frowned.
She was far away and did not hear what those men were saying, but she knew Hua Wuying too well.
Hua Wuying is such a calm person. To suddenly lose his composure, he must have heard something extremely terrifying.
Without much thought, she jumped off the horse and grabbed her luggage. When passing by Hua Wuying's horse, she also took his luggage and followed him silently. .
Soon, Hua Wuying squeezed through the crowd and came to the back of the large team.
At this time, the figures of his junior brothers and sisters were already very clear.
This time he saw it more clearly. Not only were they arrested, but also many of the disciples of the Wulin League suffered, including Master Feng who made iron, Master Wu who made alchemy, and those old gentlemen who were relegated ...
Only his master was missing.
Hua Wuying's lips trembled slightly, and he raised his hand to shout.
But the next moment, Hua Xiaolan suddenly appeared beside him and pressed his hand down.
"Wuying, don't shout."
She whispered: "Don't shout!"
Hua Wuying was startled, turned his head and glanced at her.
Hua Xiaolan was also startled when she saw his appearance.
She has never seen Hua Wuying look so helpless...
He was dazed, confused, nervous, and scared, like a wounded cub.
Hua Xiaolan's heart softened, she held his trembling hand tightly and said softly: "Are they from your school?"
"...Yes." Hua Wu Shadow said with a trembling voice.
"It seems that something big has happened to the Wulin League during your absence." Hua Xiaolan looked directly into his eyes and comforted him: "If you step forward now, you will only cause more trouble for yourself. "When someone reveals your identity, the officers and soldiers also know that you are a member of the Wulin Alliance. If they want to arrest you, will you run or not?"
Her calm and gentle voice made Hua Wuying calm down a little.
He took a deep breath and exhaled it gently. His face was barely calm, but his voice was still trembling: "Then, what should I do?"
"We always have to go to Mingjiang Pavilion. "
Hua Xiaolan pinched his palm and said, "But this time, don't go. I will go and find out what the Wulin Alliance has done."
< br>"...Okay." Hua Wuying lowered his head and said no more.
Hua Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.
She just took her luggage with her, because she was worried that if she couldn't stop Hua Wuying and the officers and soldiers chased her, she would have no choice but to escape with Hua Wuying.
Even if everyone in the Wulin Alliance is innocent, once they are caught, they will be too passive...
She does not want to get into, nor does she want Hua Wuying to get into that kind of trouble.
Hua Xiaolan took the lost Hua Wuying and squeezed back into the crowd. She slowly followed the large team escorting the Wulin League in front and approached the capital...
