My Attributes Cultivation Life

Chapter 22: Chapter 22

In the depths of the Red Mountain forest far from Qinghe Palace, a small group of thin soldiers in tattered leather armor and cotton uniforms dispersed quietly.

They were like ants crawling silently along the forest floor, there were twenty of them in total.

Each of them held machetes, daggers, and even hatchets, all of which were rusty, broken weapons that had not been maintained.

It was two people who took the lead.

One had a scar on his chin and was tall and strong. He was the leader of the bandits transformed by this rebel army, Huang Jude.

He is thirty-two years old this year. He has practiced iron tiger kungfu hard since he was a child. After reaching the limit of martial arts, because he was dissatisfied with the oppression of the Lingting court, he rose up with dozens of fellow villagers and gathered down-and-out military households to form an army.

It's a pity that the Lingting army at this time is extremely powerful.

It's not that they, who lack weapons and equipment, can win. After some collisions, the rebel army collapsed.

Fleeing all the way, Huang Jude led people across a whole Lufu territory before arriving at Pingyu Road.

Beside Huang Jude is the second leader of this remnant army, Sima Guangtu.

Sima Guangtu is over fifty years old, with a white face and long beard, blue eyes, thick eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. He is of Houthi descent from overseas.

He was, in fact, a Hoosier.

He was one of the spirit courts who attacked the Quartet before and plundered all the craftsmen wherever they went.

Seeing Huang Jude's uprising, Sima Guangtu thought he could take the opportunity to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, but he didn't expect

"Sima, you are old and experienced and have many ideas. Pay more attention to me these few days. This job can only succeed and not fail!" Huang Jude rubbed his palms and sighed upwards.

"As long as the people in the Taoist Palace cooperate well, this trip will not be difficult. We just need to be on the lookout for sneak attacks by officers and soldiers from other directions." Sima Guangtu said quite skillfully.

"That's okay, I had a small fight with the officers and soldiers last time, and the last bit of good stuff was lost. This time, I must not miss it again." Huang Jude said.

This time, among the twenty people he dispatched, he was one of the fourth rank, two of the second rank, five of the first rank, and the rest were ordinary soldiers.

In addition, although the grades have been assessed before, everyone's physical fitness has dropped a lot because of the long-term hunger and cold, tiredness and hunger.

But it is still no problem to besiege and deal with a few little hairy children.

The main focus is still on that third-rank Xiao Rong. It just depends on how strong Xiao Rong's big apprentice is.

As long as the sneak attack is successful, and they cooperate to press up, Xiao Rong will definitely not even be able to escape in the end.

"Okay, make a mark around here, go back and find a place to rest, and come back in the evening." After confirming the position, Huang Jude turned around and led everyone back.

rumble.

Rolling thunder spread from the night sky in the evening, from near to far, across the Qinghe Palace in an instant, and rushed to the distance.

The slowly accumulating clouds made it hard to tell whether the light was dim because it was dark or because the clouds gathered.

Xiao Qingying sat in front of the window of her room, looking at the winding peach trees growing in the corridor outside, her pretty face was slightly melancholy.

Since the disappearance of her followers the day before yesterday, until now, she has been grounded by her father and is not allowed to go out in any way.

A new attendant Zhang Rongfang followed outside the door, and senior sister Zhao Dacong stared outside.

With her own martial arts, which has only just strengthened her muscles, it is impossible to rush out.

"Oh, I don't know how Xiaoran is doing now?"

Xiaoran is the nickname of her former attendant. Although Xiao Qingying is a bit willful sometimes, she can still tell right from wrong.

Xiaoran probably had an accident because of her, so she knew it very well.

A cool breeze blows outside the window, blowing into the room.

Suddenly a withered and yellow leaf fluttered, passed through the window sill, and landed on the table in front of her.

"Huh?" Xiao Qingying took a closer look, and found that it was not a leaf at all, but a paper folded to resemble a leaf.

She gently pinched the note, looked around cautiously, then got up and closed the window.

Xiao Qingying unfolded the note through the little sunlight that came in through the remnants of the window film.

'Xiao Yingqi: I have been investigating Xiaoran's disappearance for the past few days, and I already have some clues. Always remember to be careful of those around you.

There is something urgent, so I can't say it in the letter. At three o'clock in the middle of the night, we can meet at the Shengxian Bridge at the mountain gate. '

"It's Brother Wuyou's handwriting!" Xiao Qingying showed joy when she saw the letter.

She didn't believe that Chen Wuyou would want to harm her, with so many tender embraces and so many sweet promises before. If he didn't really like her, why would he spend so much time and energy on her?

"Three quarters of the day?" Xiao Qingying always felt that Brother Wuyou had been wronged, and the real villain behind it was probably someone else.

She didn't think about it any further.

Looking at the letter paper on the table, Xiao Qingying carefully picked it up and put it in the purse inside.

She didn't even look at it, so she folded it up.

'It depends on the timing of the night. '

Brother Wuyou must have found some key points, that's why he came to her for the convenience of relaying.

rumble.

The sky was getting thicker and darker. The crackling thunder and lightning illuminated the entire bedroom.

Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it has passed.

It's late at night.

Xiao Qingying, who was obviously resting on the bed, slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the window.

Lightning flashed outside the window, and thunder rolled.

'It's almost time. It's time to go. '

Xiao Qingying slowly got off the bed, quickly put on various clothes, and finally picked up a small package that had already been put away.

click.

Lightning and thunder sounded again.

Xiao Qingying put on her boots and quietly came to the door.

Outside the room is a semi-open-air corridor.

At this time, large drops of rain fell on the corridor, blowing down with the wind.

Looking at the weather, Xiao Qingying felt a little thumping in her heart, but her admiration and trust for Brother Wuyou made her suppress her fear.

With a creak, amidst the thunder, this sound was completely covered up.

After leaving the room, Xiao Qingying lightly trotted into the corridor.

Going forward along the corridor, soon there will be a large number of ordinary disciples' rooms where the disciples of the handyman live.

Not long after, Xiao Qingying came to the front area of ​​the Taoist Palace alone after passing through the alleys.

Shengxian Bridge is also located here.

At this time, Chen Wuyou was quietly waiting here. Just wait for Xiao Qingying to arrive.

At night, the wind was strong and the raindrops were also heavy. The strong wind blew the branches and leaves of the trees in the Dao Palace violently, like a laughing monster.

The light shining from the main hall, Xuanxin Hall, reflected the light and shadow of the surrounding small buildings constantly changing.

Xiao Qingying trotted quickly, all the way towards the Shengxian Bridge near the mountain gate.

She had to see her brother as soon as possible, otherwise, if the people around her found out, the situation would be bad.

If her father finds out that she is meeting Brother Wuyou privately again, she will be grounded for a longer period of time.

Running to the edge of the Shengxian Bridge in one breath, Xiao Qingying was a little scared when she saw that there was no one on duty and the dark and empty bridge deck stood by the bridge opening.

"Brother Wuyou?"

She whispered something.

It's a pity that the wind was too loud, and there were big and big raindrops smashing to the ground, so that her voice could not be heard very far.

On the Shengxian Bridge, apart from her, there was only the Taoist priest on duty at the mountain gate in the distance, and the flickering lights in the gatehouse of the mountain gate.

"Brother? Where are you? I came out?" Xiao Qingying called softly.

She looked around, but there was no one in front of her.

The wind and rain gradually increased, the thunder became louder and louder, and the moonlight at night was completely covered.

Xiao Qingying looked around, and suddenly she saw a person leaning in the dark inside the bridge hole.

"Brother Wuyou." She hurriedly approached there.

puff.

The man was suddenly shaken slightly by the wind.

When she ran closer and took a closer look, it turned out to be a tattered coir raincoat supported by wooden sticks.

Xiao Qingying showed a look of disappointment, and she was about to turn around and walk back.

"Come out quietly from the mountain gate, I'll wait for you at the gate. Hurry up, don't be discovered, there are bad guys staring at you!" Suddenly Chen Wuyou's voice reached her ears.

"Brother Wuyou!?" Xiao Qingying was overjoyed, knowing that her favorite brother Wuyou was indeed waiting here.

Immediately, without hesitation, she ran towards the mountain gate.

Outside the mountain gate, in the dense forest on both sides, four or five dark figures were quietly lurking, waiting for Chen Wuyou to give a signal.

Chen Wuyou had already stood by the gatehouse of the mountain gate, holding a black umbrella in his hand, and glanced at the welcoming Taoist who had passed out.

Everything is ready.

Watching Xiao Qingying trot towards her in the rain.

A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

The man in the wind and rain, like a little black butterfly, fluttered towards him

Suddenly a black shadow rushed out from behind diagonally, and hit the little butterfly head-on.

puff.

The little butterfly folded its wings halfway and fell to the ground.

"Um??"

Chen Wuyou was taken aback for a moment, then saw Xiao Qingying being scooped up by that person and ran away.

He was anxious and wanted to catch up, but at this moment, he and Xiao Qingying were more than 20 meters away, so it was impossible to make it in time.

Xiao Qingying herself was also beaten so dazed and dizzy.

Just now, she suddenly felt her feet tripping and she fainted.

I don't know how long it has been, until she comes back to her senses.

I was leaning against a warm and hard embrace.

"Senior Sister Xiao? Are you okay?" A familiar voice entered her ears.

Xiao Qingying trembled all over, almost screaming.

But she also suddenly realized that the voice was Zhang Rongfang who had been following her room all the time? ?

Enduring the pain in the back of her neck and head, she wiped the rainwater and hair from her face and looked carefully.

Sure enough, it was Zhang Rongfang, who was sent by her father to protect her, to carry her back.

"Why did you appear out of nowhere?? You scared me to death!?" Xiao Qingying's chest heaved and rose rapidly, her pretty face turned pale.

"What happened to me just now?" She looked puzzled.

Zhang Rongfang shook his head and remained silent.

He had noticed something was wrong just now, and after careful observation, he discovered that Xiao Qingying had actually sneaked out.

Originally, I thought that with such bad weather, cold, heavy rain, and strong wind, I should be able to sleep well, but unfortunately, Senior Sister Xiao is really not worrying.

"Senior Sister Xiao came out to hang out so late, what do you want to do?" Zhang Rongfang looked around, except for them, there was no one around for tens of meters.

Didn't this chick just want to sneak away?

His eyes became slightly dangerous.

Before he figured out a way to get rid of Xiao Rong's father and daughter, even if he didn't want to, Xiao Rong gave the order, and he had no choice but to protect Xiao Qingying.

If something goes wrong with Xiao Qingying now, he will definitely be held accountable.

At that time, unless he can get rid of Daoji, he will injure the people around him, escape from Qinghe Palace, and be wanted. Otherwise you have to protect this guy

"Can't I come out to relax?! You want to take care of it!?" Xiao Qingying was frightened, and immediately her pretty face turned pale, and she said angrily.

"Senior sister, please be more considerate. If something goes wrong with you, the master might beat me to death. For your and my safety, Rong Fang has to follow closely, sorry." Zhang Rongfang explained seriously.

"Actually, you don't need to do this. If my father asks, I can take the initiative to tell him that I want to come out to rest and relax. I promise not to implicate you." Xiao Qingying also answered seriously.

"Sorry, Senior Sister." Zhang Rongfang was unmoved.

This chick almost rushed out of the mountain gate just now, whoever believes such words is a fool.

"And Senior Sister, you were lying on the ground for a long time just now, but I found something wrong behind me, and I found you on the ground after searching all the way. Otherwise, it is such a cold day, and it is still windy and rainy. It will be troublesome if the wind and cold enter the body."

Zhang Rongfang sighed.

"I seem to have been beaten just now?" Xiao Qingying rubbed the back of her head, the weather was too cold, and the position was only aching now.

"Ah?? Who dares to sneak attack Saye in our Qinghe Palace? No, we have to go back and check to see if there is any serious problem."

Zhang Rongfang suddenly said 'nervous'.

"Senior Sister, have you seen who beat you??"

"Without me. I'm a little dizzy." Xiao Qingying groaned slightly.
