Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 37

At the same time, at the foot of Dongshan.

Lord Huqiu came to the foot of the mountain alone, standing in the snowstorm, he looked at the bluestone steps in front of him, motionless.

There is a slight benefit to snow.

That is, the traces of footsteps cannot be hidden.

At this moment, the white snow on the bluestone steps looked particularly messy.

One place seems to be a layer of traces brought up by some kind of broom-like thing dragging from bottom to top.

He even saw some spots of blood.

Far away, all the way to the mountain.

The other traces were large and small, the large ones looked like the footprints of adults, and the depth of each trace was the same.However, some traces are very messy, sometimes disappearing.

It was these messy footprints that really caught Lord Huqiu's attention.

Because they look small.

One of the clearest footprints is less than the size of an adult's palm.

You can tell it's a child's at a glance.

"..."

Master Huqiu observed these footprints, paused at the foot of the mountain for a while, and began to climb the mountain.

Dongshan is not high, and it can't compare with the land of five mountains.

However, if you climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, ordinary people need to walk for half an hour.

This is not a problem for Mr. Huqiu, I saw him climbing up step by step, which seemed normal, but it was a few steps away, but with a mere hundred breaths of effort, he came to the bluestone steps, cobblestone mud path , and the intersection of the rugged mountain road.

This place is a gentle slope.

After Master Huqiu came here, he stopped.

The reason why he stopped was very simple, because there was a person lying on the slope.

The man was dressed in rags, and he was clearly a beggar.

Unkempt, with some blood on his face.

At this moment, he was lying unconscious on the icy and snowy ground.

Lord Huqiu took a look at his tattered cloth robe, and realized that the trail of dragging along the way just now was made by this beggar.

He ignored the beggar, he just looked around.

On the left, there are no footprints on the rough path.

The snow has covered it with a thin layer.

It means that from before the snow started in the middle of last night to now, there should be no one passing by on this road.

The same is true for the mud and cobblestone road on the right.Only there are still some messy footprints on the bluestone steps going up from Tianjun Temple.

Seeing this, he glanced at the unconscious beggar again.

After an inaudible sigh, he took out a bottle.

As soon as the bottle is opened, bursts of aroma come out from the mouth of the bottle.

If there are well-informed people here, it can be judged from the mark on the elixir bottle that this must be a healing medicine produced by Laojunguan in the capital.

The Laojun Temple was set up by the royal family for the national teachers, and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty liked longevity, so the temple collected all the world's outer alchemy masters and treasures, except for the royal family and many high-ranking officials and nobles, ordinary people even have money. Can't buy it.

At this moment, I saw Master Huqiu took a elixir whose fragrance was still unabated in the wind and snow, and with a flick of the fox fur, the sword hilt with fire ruby, and the scabbard of the sword, which looked like a hot wave, hit the beggar mouth.

With a little effort, the beggar instinctively opened his mouth, and Master Huqiu flicked his finger, and a valuable medicine pill fell into his mouth.

Then, Master Huqiu rubbed the scabbard in the snow beside the beggar, as if he was afraid of getting something unclean. Jun Guan goes.

After walking all the way to the end of the bluestone steps, he saw two rows of frontier soldiers at the gate of Tianjun Temple, and General Xue standing in the middle of the gate, still wearing bright armor and holding a long spear.

The whole body of the long lance was made of iron, about four meters long. General Xue stood holding the long lance.

But this aura disappeared without a trace after Lord Huqiu climbed the blue stone steps.

"grown ups!"

Holding a lance to salute, General Xue shouted respectfully.

Master Huqiu moved his hat slightly, and his eyes fell on the roll of white cloth bandages under his bright armor.

The bright light armor that was originally in the shape of a tiger's head on its chest has been damaged at this moment. The tiger's head seems to have been broken by the sharp claws of some kind of animal, leaving several long scars.Thinking about it, if it wasn't for this armor to resist, if a mortal resisted with flesh and blood, he might have been cut in half.

Looking away, Lord Huqiu said:

"injured?"

"Back to your lord, last night those two monsters were not weak. They used the flower-seeking claws of the Qingqiu Department. The last general was negligent for a moment and was scratched without pain or itching. But please don't worry, my lord. , has been pierced with a soul nail, and turned into a prototype in the dungeon!"

Hearing General Xue's words, Master Huqiu moved his bamboo hat to show that he knew, and asked again:

"Who came just now?"

General Xue was taken aback for a moment... Then his eyes fell on those messy footprints that did not belong to Mr. Huqiu, his face was a little embarrassed...

"……Um?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Master Huqiu let out a doubt from his nose.

General Xue's expression tightened, and he quickly replied:
"My lord... the last general doesn't know... I fought with those two foxes last night, and after catching him, the last general has been healing in the temple. It's just... just... just came out not long ago."

In the end, his confidence was not as strong as before.

"..."

Master Huqiu remained silent, but his eyes fell on the two rows of frontier soldiers who were not looking sideways.

With a final sigh...

"Okay, the group of soldiers under you should have come out not long ago, right? The snow is so heavy, and there is no wind and snow on their bodies, who will show this appearance?... Go down the mountain to heal your wounds. I came here this time, you behaved Very good, don’t engage in such hypocrisy in the future. You don’t need to interfere in the next thing, go to defend the city.”

"Back to my lord..."

General Xue seemed to want to say something, but Master Huqiu waved his hand:
"Do as you are told. Go down the mountain!"

"...The last general took the order! Thank you for your compassion!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand:
"Hear the order! Go down the mountain!"

The two platoons of frontier soldiers yelled "deling" together and walked down the mountain in unison.

When passing Master Huqiu, everyone held their heads high, as if deliberately expressing their "orders and prohibitions" momentum.

And General Xue seemed to want to say something, but Master Huqiu had already pushed open the side door and walked into Tianjun Temple.

"..."

Without further ado, he stepped into the wind and snow with a long spear in his hand.

He was speechless all the way, and when he came to the three-way intersection, he glanced at the beggar lying on the ground.

But it's just a glance.

It was like watching a wild dog lying on the side of the road.

He didn't even ask whether he was dead or alive, he directly passed the beggars who were lying on the ground with a long lance in his hand, and went down the mountain.
