In this world, people can never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
When Xiao Han and Liu Hongji lost interest in chatting and went back to their camps to sleep, several fast horses were galloping crazily along the galloping road towards Chang'an!
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
It has always been taboo to run without covering your head when running horses in the dark, but the knights on these fast horses did not care at all about the dark sky! In the darkness, only a few pairs of red eyes could be seen, looking intently at the blurry road ahead!
And the riding whip in his hand was whipped on the fast horses, driving these not-so-good stage horses. All the muscles in their bodies were tightened, and even the big horses' mouths spit out words from time to time. How much foam!
The horse beneath him is almost exhausted!
This is a problem that the knight has already discovered after the Yima spit out the first bit of foam!
Originally, this kind of thing shouldn't happen to them.
As a qualified Red Feather Messenger, getting to know the horse under you and its horsepower is always their first lesson!
Those old messengers have told them more than once: No matter how urgent the letter is to be delivered, horsepower must be conserved! At least, we have to rush to the next station!
Otherwise, if you run for dozens of miles on two legs, even an iron man will lose his legs!
However, the letter I received today was too urgent! They were so anxious that they forgot to ask the emissary about the horse!
As a result, by the time they realized something was wrong with the horse, it was already too late! Even if we slow down at that time, we will never reach the next stop!
"Hold on a little longer! Just hold on and see the village!"
After wiping away the white foam that had drifted to his face in the wind, the knight let out a low roar! Now, he puts all his hopes on the village ahead!
As long as he can get to the village, he is sure to find horses in the village. He doesn't need too many, just three or two are enough! Even if you can find one! It can also make him run to the next station! And wherever you go, it means Chang'an is close at hand!
Perhaps, God heard the knight’s prayer!
Just when he was secretly furious, the galloping horse under him suddenly neighed, and the speed that had slowed down suddenly increased a lot. It carried the knight and ran hundreds of feet away, dragging several of his companions behind him. The knight is far behind!
It's a pity that such a wild run did not last long. Seeing the lights on the road ahead, the stagecoach under the knight staggered, and with a roar, both the man and the horse fell heavily. Get out!
This time it fell very hard!
The tall stagecoach fell heavily on the hard road, and its long neck was twisted in a weird way that day! A large amount of blood flowed out from under the neck, and in the blink of an eye it stained the surrounding land red. When illuminated by the cold moonlight, it looked particularly strange.
When the horse fell, the rider on the horse, even though he was experienced, jumped up from the horse! But his body was already a little stiff due to the blow, but he still couldn't help but hit the ground hard, giving himself a huge fall on the spot!
Fortunately, the weather was cold at this time and the knight wore a lot of clothes, so he was able to withstand the blow.
Otherwise, if it were summer, even if the knight did not die, he would still be rolled into a bloody gourd!
"hiss……"
Breathing in the air-conditioning and feeling dizzy from the fall, the knight quickly got up from the ground despite the pain in his body!
But the first thing he did when he got up was not to check his body. Instead, he reached into his arms and touched the small section of hard bamboo stick.
When he found that the bamboo stick was no problem, the knight took a breath and looked around.
However, it was a good thing that he didn't look at it. Once he looked at it, he immediately noticed that something was wrong! A bone-chilling chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart!
"No, there's someone!"
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield, the knight immediately knew where this chill came from!
Originally, he wanted to put on a defensive posture, but the pain in his body made him understand that what he was doing was in vain!
Not to mention that the other party is also a ruthless character with murderous intent. Even if he is an ordinary person, if he really wants to harm him, he will not be able to resist at all.
"Who are you! Why are you riding at night?"
In the darkness, he couldn't see the other party's appearance at all. The knight who barely stood could only hear the other party's cold questions without a trace of emotion!
"I am the Red Feather Messenger! I have urgent news!" Taking a breath, the messenger endured the pain and immediately announced his identity!
"Red Feather Messenger?"
Sure enough, after hearing these four words, the other party's voice softened significantly.
As a very special profession, in this era, the Red Feather Messenger is a passport to live! Anyone encountered must give way! Even bandits and bandits who do all kinds of evil will not rob the Red Feather Messenger!
Because they plunder ordinary people, they will at most attract the government's pursuit, but once the Red Feather Messenger is moved, what awaits them will be an endless pursuit of the army. This deal, even a fool knows, is not worth it.
"Ding-deng-deng..."
At this time, the sound of several fast horses was heard again, but it was several other knights who had been left behind who were also rushing over at this time.
As soon as they arrived, under the faint moonlight, they saw that the boss's horse had fallen to death on the side of the road, and the boss seemed to be confronting someone!
Several people were immediately taken aback. They hurriedly stopped their horses and pulled out their sabers with their backhands. The snow-white blade reflected the icy coldness!
"Leave me alone! Leave quickly!" Hearing these voices behind him, the knight knew that his companion had arrived. He was so anxious that he immediately turned his head and roared, urging his companion to leave him alone and deliver the news quickly!
It's just that the horses under these people keep running and it's okay not to stop.
Now that he stopped like this, no matter how hard the knights kicked and whipped him, they still refused to take a step forward. Tears could not stop flowing from his big eyes.
"These horses are useless! Since you are the red feather messengers, then ride on ours and leave first!"
Just when several knights were anxious, a clear voice came from behind the black shadow.
"Really? You're lending us the horse?"
Hearing this man's words, the cavalryman was almost desperate. As if he had grasped the last straw, he stared at the man in the darkness!
But the person who spoke didn't talk nonsense. He turned back to the place with dots of bonfires and shouted: "Fat man! Fat man! Are you dead? If not, go get some horses!"
"Here!"
As the voice fell, someone beside the campfire not far away immediately responded loudly.
Immediately afterwards, there were low noises and scoldings coming along the night wind!
Soon, several anxious knights saw a chubby young man leading three horses, running towards here panting.
