Half-dead paulownia

(Qingping Gang)

The scorching sun roasted everything like fire, the cicadas kept chirping, and the steam from the ground rose like light smoke, everything became indistinct.

"Report! Anling Yuhao has arrived in front of the cottage." The young Qing army shouted while trotting all the way.

"All passages will be allowed." Duguao picked up the bamboo porcelain cup on the side and carefully played with it, but he did not take a sip of water.

Xiao Jinmo also heard the Qing army's report, and couldn't help frowning. Under the scorching sun, sweat couldn't help dripping down his face.

In just a moment, Anling Yuhao, dressed in white and covered in silver, calmly appeared in front of everyone. The moment he saw Xiao Jinmo on his delicate face like a sculpture, his eyes were full of worry. The concern seems to only belong to the man tied to the wooden stake, when he looked at Duguao, it made people shudder.

When he saw the man named Duguao for the first time, Anling Yuhao was in a daze for a moment, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it.

"I don't know how the little prince was doing last night?" Duguao seemed to be deliberately provocative.

"Thanks to you, it was really an unforgettable night." Anling Yu Hao replied with a little deep meaning.

"Did you see that person named Xiao Jinmo?" As he said that, Duguao pointedly glanced at the Qing army standing next to the stake.

The Qing army took the lighted torch and placed it next to the dry firewood surrounding Xiao Jinmo.

"I'm very fair, I give you the freedom to choose, do you think your speed is faster, or the fire's speed?" Duguao smiled ghostly.

Then his five generals lined up, waiting to compete with Anling Yuhao at any time. It should be no problem to say that Anling Yuhao's strength can deal with them, but the difficulty now is that if once At the beginning, dry wood must be lit there, so how long can Xiao Jinmo last?Especially in this weather.

"Anling Yuhao!" Xiao Jinmo looked at him who was hesitant and shouted: "Don't choose anything, I hope you are all right, go back."

Anling Yuhao just stood quietly in front of Xiao Jinmo, but he couldn't put him by his side, what should he bet on?

"Boss, what are you thinking? Didn't we discuss it yesterday?" Scar Si reminded Duguao who looked at the strange expression.

"It's been discussed? That's fine." Duguao's expression became complicated, but he nodded towards Scar Si.

I saw the dry firewood on Xiao Jinmo's side was ignited, mixed with the sound of "crackling", entangled like a fire dragon, and the raging flame seemed to be able to swallow everything.

"Xiao Jinmo!" Anling Yuhao never expected that they would be so ruthless.

The excited Anling Yuhao leaped to the side of the five generals, and a roundabout kick in the air made the burly figure of the fifth master retreat for a long time. Seeing this, the rest of the people joined forces to surround Anling Yuhao, and saw his speed Due to his luck, a powerful airflow burst out from his body, and in an instant, the four of them dispersed from the surroundings and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Fifth Master picked up two shining golden axes from the shelf next to him, and rushed towards Anling Yuhao, and the other four also took up their own weapons.

The breeze blew through Anling Yuhao's strands of silver hair, and his sharp eyes seemed unwilling to let everyone go.

"Little prince, if you continue like this, Xiao Jinmo will die..." Dugu Ao, who had been watching coldly, said faintly when they confronted each other.

The fire had started to ignite in a large area, but Xiao Jinmo's voice could not be heard, which made Anling Yuhao a little anxious.

"Tell me the third way." An Ling Yuhao said firmly.

"The little prince is really smart, Scar Si, tell him what is the third way?" Dugu Ao glanced at Scar Si, and picked up the special porcelain cup seriously again.

"That is to exchange you for Xiao Jinmo." Scar Si looked at Anling Yuhao viciously, thinking that he really lost face in front of the Qing army just now.

"I am willing." It seems that without a moment's hesitation, he directly responded to Duguao. "But you must put out the fire at this moment, otherwise you will not be able to make me succumb. In this way, wouldn't your careful plan be in vain?"

How could Anling Yuhao, who was willing to sacrifice his life for Xiao Jinmo, not agree to these demands?

"No...don't...cough, cough, cough." Xiao Jinmo finally made a weak voice. Even though he hadn't been burned by the fire, the smoke had already made it difficult for him to breathe.

The fifth master took out an iron chain, looked at Anling Yuhao who really had no intention of resisting, and tied him up skillfully.

"Extinguish the fire!" Duguao looked at Anling Yuhao with satisfaction, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss, didn't you agree..." the second child said suspiciously.

"I said put out the fire!" It was an unquestionable tone and a resolutely executed order.

Seeing that today's Duguao is indeed a little different from the past, but he can't tell where the blame is. He obviously meant to wait for Anling Yuhao to be captured without a fight, and he will not extinguish the fire, let him see with his own eyes what he cares most about. When a person dies in front of his eyes, first defeat him psychologically, why did he change his mind today?

Even if everyone has doubts, he dare not disobey the order. After all, he is the leader of the gang. Maybe he has some new plans, because he has always been impeccable in his work. There must be a reason for this temporary change.

As the fire was extinguished, Xiao Jinmo had already fallen into a coma again.

"Bring both Xiao Jinmo and Anling Yuhao to Lanaoju." Duguao gave orders again, still resolutely making his own decisions.

A few people didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in their boss's gourd, but they didn't say anything. Anyway, Anling Yuhao had already given in, and there would be no unnecessary details, and they had long thought that Anling Yuhao and the gang leader There must be some festival between them, every time this little prince is mentioned, Dugu Ao is extremely angry, so let's go with the leader.

(Lan Aoju)

Duguao motioned for everyone to back down, and reconfirmed whether the surroundings were safe, and there was no trace of Duguao's stubbornness in his eyes.

"Surprised the little prince, what an offense." He suddenly turned his face and said with a smile all over his face.

"Leave me alone, let's see how Xiao Jinmo is doing?" Anling Yuhao couldn't care about himself at all.

"I didn't expect them to be so vicious. Fortunately, I am an old Jianghu. Now that I think about it, I am really scared. I almost couldn't continue acting several times in the middle. Thanks to my cleverness. Thinking about how Yi Rongcheng has been for so many years." Other people's errands are still enjoyable this time, if it wasn't for that man named Qin Xiangkai who offered me such a generous offer, I really don't plan to accept this business, if you want to say that Qin Xiangkai was at the inn that day..." The fake Duguao started talking endlessly from the moment he entered the room, and was infinitely invested in his own world.

Anling Yuhao had already broken free from the chains, and anxiously embraced Xiao Jinmo in his arms, but the person in his arms could not be woken up no matter what.

"We have to leave here as soon as possible, I can't wait any longer." An Ling Yuhao picked up Xiao Jinmo and walked towards the door.

"It is estimated that Qin Xiangkai has already responded outside. I have also redeployed the Qing army just now. I have transferred all the troops along the way we are going." Fake Duguao was also ready to escape.

After saying that, the three of them walked out of the room quickly. Sure enough, there was no one holding hands along the way, and they walked smoothly. They came to a small road behind the cottage. This is a secret road specially opened by Duguao and the others. , the purpose is to prevent one day if the stronghold is captured, this place can become a passage to escape, so as to be prepared.

And since this fake Duguao accepts this deal, he has already figured out the basic situation here, this is the common sense necessary for his profession, otherwise he would not have survived to this day.

Just when they were about to walk out of the path, a large number of Qing troops appeared from nowhere and surrounded them.

"Where is the leader going in such a hurry?" The boss suddenly walked out from the crowd.

"Oh, it's big brother. I'm just going out for a walk to see if our road can still be used, and whether it needs to be repaired properly?" The fake Duguao who was obviously guilty said indiscriminately.

"Then the meaning of the leader Yi is, can this road still go on now?" The elder brother already had a playful tone, and at the same time looked hostilely at Anling Yuhao who was holding Xiao Jinmo.

"This way..." Fake Duguao knew that the matter was over, and there was no room for turning around, so he couldn't help but also look at Anling Yuhao.At this moment, he doesn't regret it too much, he knew that there would be no such easy good things in the world, such a huge amount of money, at first glance, it is a desperate transaction, and he blames himself for being too confused.

Just when Duguao was still regretting and didn't know how to answer, the elder brother suddenly took a step sideways.

"Be careful!" Before Anling Yuhao finished speaking, the fake Duguao was grabbed by the big brother.

Anling Yuhao only blamed himself for still holding Xiao Jinmo in his arms, and failed to protect the fake Duguao in time.

A machete went straight to the neck, it seemed that this time he was much more vicious than the one named Zi Ye, because he had already clearly felt the smell of blood, he closed his eyes in fear, thinking about his actions these two times, it seemed that he should be careful Farewell to the Bodhisattva, do you really have to end up moving your head?

Pretending to be lonely and thinking alone, it was the same fate twice, but this time I hurt Xiao Jinmo, but Anling Yuhao probably didn't know about it for the time being, and secondly, I didn't know that Anling Yuhao, It's not friendship, it's just a money transaction, you guys threaten me, it's really hard for Anling Yuhao, didn't I die for nothing?

"Stop it, you'd better let him go. If I, Anling Yuhao, dare to come today, I will take away everything related to me." Anling Yuhao shouted as he looked at the blade that was going deeper and deeper.

False Duguao did not expect that Anling Yuhao's skill was enough to escape with Xiao Jinmo first, but he still wanted to save him, but he was still so resolute and so imposing.

"What? I've already saved Xiao Jinmo, but does this person still want to take him away? Is he too greedy?" the eldest brother asked with interest.

"Don't you want to know where the real Duguao is, or do you hope that he will never show up?" Anling Yuhao looked at his eldest brother with sly eyes, and questioned with meaning in his words.

"You... what are you talking about? I don't understand. I advise you to be more honest and don't provoke the feelings between us brothers." The eldest brother said calmly.

It was too late to say it, but it was too late to see who was coming. I just felt my arm tremble, and the scimitar fell to the ground immediately, and the person in my hand was directly taken away by a man in black.

Seeing that Anling Yuhao and the man in black jumped up and wanted to escape, the Qing army was ready to pursue.

"Let them go! I want to see how capable this Anling Yuhao is, and we will meet again next time." The eldest brother stopped the Qing army and said meaningfully.
