C442 A Busybody
Dark night, damp wind, After the lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, rain began to fall in the disastrous Huai Nan once again. Perhaps it was because misfortune never came alone, but this unrestrained storm had caused the already swaying Huainan Sword Sect to become even more turbulent.
Chai Tianhong carried the unconscious Lin Qiuning on his back and walked down the mountain step by step. Duan Tianya followed behind him, and from time to time, he would light up the road ahead.
When they returned to the shed, it was already windy and heavy rain pouring down. Looking at the scene outside, Duan Tianya said, "This place is not suitable to stay for long. If the stone stream on the mountain flows over, I'm afraid that these people will lose their lives. "
Chai Tianhong said worriedly, "It's raining heavily outside. The road is muddy and difficult to walk. I'm afraid that before we can walk out of this place, we have already been buried in the sand. "
Duan Tianya thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea. I don't know if it will work. "
Chai Tianhong quickly said, "Friend, what idea do you have? Just say it. "
Duan Tianya said to Hu Jiuling, "You take the remaining gold and silver, and two disciples who are proficient in horsemanship. Go nearby and buy more horses. The rest of you follow me to escape to the mountain. "
Hu Jiuling led the disciples of Huainan Sword Sect and rode the three horses that he had brought with him. They ran all the way to the south. Because the south was less than 30 miles away, there was a horse gang. They hoped that they could buy enough horses so that they could borrow the strength of the horses to avoid suffering.
Duan Tianya and Chai Tianhong led the other disciples of Huainan Sword Sect up the mountain. The road was muddy and bumpy. Everyone searched their way through the dark night. After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
The sky had already turned bright. Everyone was drenched in soup. A breeze blew by, and they couldn't help but feel a slight chill on their bodies.
The sun rose and the rain gradually stopped. Duan Tianya stood at the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. He saw a vast ocean on the ground. He estimated that the water was at least as deep as his waist.
After noon, the sun burned in his heart, and a hot feeling arose spontaneously. Duan Tianya found a thick and tall tree and leaned against it. He closed his eyes and enjoyed a moment of peace.
The sun gradually set and the hot noon water was mostly gone. At this time, Chai Tianhong suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves. He looked happy and said, "Friend, it seems they have found a horse. "
Everyone cheered. Sure enough, Hu Jiuling did not disappoint them. He bought four hundred fine horses and found them halfway up the mountain. Duan Tianya and the others came down from the mountain. When they saw each other again, they felt a little sad that they had escaped death.
Duan Tianya and the others left the place where the Huainan Sword Sect stayed. When they were about to leave the Huai Nan region, they saw a group of people walking in front of them. When they took a closer look, they saw that it was Wu Bei.
When Wu Bei saw Duan Tianya, he immediately jumped off his horse and said excitedly, "Brother Tianya, I have already settled the matter. The courtyard of the Huainan Sword Sect has already been settled. I was just about to ask you to come and investigate, but I didn't expect to meet you here. "
Duan Tianya was covered in mud and said with a smile, "Let's go and take a look together. "
The courtyard that Wu Bei chose was in a wealthy family forty miles north of Huai Nan. The owner of this house wanted to go to Fu Jian to do some business. Initially, he planned to sell it to another rich man, but for some reason, that rich man suddenly stopped making any moves, which was why he gave it to Wu Bei.
Duan Tianya was very satisfied with what he saw. At least several hundred disciples of the Huainan Sword Sect had a place to stay. Although it was a little crowded, it was still a place to stay.
It was late at night. It was unknown how many days had passed. Duan Tianya was lying comfortably on the bed. He hadn't slept well in the past few days. He planned to meet Duke Zhou tonight.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a small stone suddenly passed through the window and hit the table in the middle. It was not loud, but he could hear it clearly in the quiet night.
Duan Tianya sat up and looked out. Through the moonlight, he could vaguely see a person standing on the high wall.
Duan Tianya got up and put on his clothes. He held his sword and walked out. He jumped onto the high wall and said to the person in front of him: "Chimei, how could it be you?"
Chimei asked, "Are you surprised?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I will be surprised when I see others, but not when I see you, Chimei. "
Chimei said thoughtfully, "I think I like this name. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "You are not here to hear me call your name, are you?"
Chimei said, "Of course not!"
Duan Tianya said again, "Don't tell me he just happened to pass by?"
Chimei also said, "Of course not. " He paused for a moment and said, "I came to find you. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Didn't we just meet a few days ago?"
Chimei said, "That's right. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a few days, but you like to meddle in other people's business more and more. "
Duan Tianya smiled again and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become a talkative person. "
Chimei sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if you talk more when you meet the right person. "
Duan Tianya said, "When you are bored, it is not bad to meddle in other people's business. "
Chimei asked, "Do you know? You are going to fight Aaconha to the death in less than two months?"
Duan Tianya said, "I know. "
Chimei said again, "He will not show mercy. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I know that too. "
Chimei said, "Then do you know my real purpose for coming here?"
Duan Tianya said, "I'm all ears. "
Chimei said, "I am here to kill you. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Plan? Planning means that you have not decided to kill me?"
Chimei nodded and did not deny it and said, "I originally wanted to find you after you had a showdown with Aaconha, but I was afraid that you would die under his sickle. So instead of you dying in someone else's hands, it would be better to die under my sword. "
When Duan Tianya heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly and said, "I promise you that I will come back alive to see you. "
Chimei nodded and said with a smile, "A man never goes back on his word. You better not break the promise, otherwise, I will tear open your grave and feed your corpse to the dogs. "
Duan Tianya said, "Of course!"
Chimei left. Like a gust of wind, he came and went without a trace. If anyone knew Duan Tianya the best, Yuen Xiaotian was one Dragon-scale Sword, Little Zhuge was one, and White Crane was half. As for the others, most of them knew him, but they didn't know him.
The person who understood Duan Tianya's sword the most was definitely Chimei. Although the two of them rarely interacted, their hearts were connected.
Duan Tianya was still Duan Tianya after all. He had his own path to walk. At least he still belonged to the Jianghu. Since he belonged to the Jianghu, he had to understand the rules of the Jianghu. What Chimei said was right. The competition between him and Aaconha was the most important right now.
Duan Tianya bid farewell to the Huainan Sword Sect. Lin Qiuning was always crazy, and Chai Tianhong was also helpless. Although everyone was reluctant to part with her, they could not escape from the fact that there was no banquet in the world that could not be broken.
Wu Bei returned to Guan Zhong and met up with Wei Yang and the others. Duan Tianya brought Hu Jiuling and left South Huai City completely.
