Frontier horse station. The continuous rush made Xiao Yu sweat profusely. He took off his gown, wrapped the Nirvana Sword in his hand inside the gown, and tied it on his back to carry.
The horse post is located at the junction of the forest edge and the prairie. There are only a few small huts with earthen walls, which is a horse post.
It was getting late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Neither of them had a lantern in their hands. Fortunately, A Guqing said that she knew Ma Yi's uncle and was considered a half-acquaintance.
The two men knocked on the door of Ma Yi. The uncle of Ma Yi held a lantern and limped open the door. When he saw the generous girl arriving, he smiled and said with concern: "Miss A Gu, why are you still here in the middle of the night?" Are you on your way?"
"Uncle, I have something to do at home, so I rushed on my way in a hurry and disturbed you. I will apologize to you!" After finishing speaking, A Guqing took out a silver coin from his arms and handed it over.
Located on the border, the entire horse post was guarded only by this lame uncle. He was a local, and taking over the horse post was nothing more than raising a few horses in the surrounding areas to earn some money from merchants passing through the border.
The little girl in front of her was spending a lot of money, and she was obviously a wealthy owner. The lame boss of Ma Yi felt like meeting the God of Wealth when he saw A Guqing. Although his dream was disturbed, he didn't have any anger at all.
Seeing the little girl handing over such a large ingot of silver, she immediately beamed with joy, stretched out her trembling hand and took it, and replied with a smile: "Little girl, you are sensible. Come on, I will take you to choose a horse!" "The lame uncle was a businessman, so he didn't ask why the two of them were traveling all night. He just used crutches and a lantern to lead them to the stable to choose horses.
There are only five or six horses in the frontier horse post, and they are sold at a high price. Fortunately, A Guqing was not short of money and directly gave the boss twice the price to choose two good horses for them.
The boss sent two people to lead their horses out of the horse post, and also gave them a lantern each so that they could travel in the dark.
A road intersection in the vast grassland. Farewell.
"Okay, Miss A Guqing, I will send you here." Xiao Yu reined in his horse and stood still, and continued: "Just hurry back and don't look back. When you get to your tribe's tent, you will be safe. Let's See you later." A Guqing clasped his fists in return and asked, "Xiao Yu, are you really not going back with me to avoid the limelight?" Xiao Yu waved her hands and replied, "No, I still have people to take care of. If I am in the Central Plains in the future, If I can’t stay any longer, I will naturally turn to you.”
"Okay, I'll put away the wolf fangs I gave you. We'll meet again later." Ah Guqing did not hesitate, reined in his horse and turned around.
Xiaoyu nodded, and he put the wolf fang with the sheep's head in the inner pocket of his chest. After all, if a pursuit order was issued on the seventh floor, Si Qing's anger would spread to him. When it comes to human beings, if there is no way to avoid it, he can ask the two old men in his family to take the wolf fangs out of the fortress first and go to the Mang tribe to defect to A Guqing. This way he can at least save their lives.
The two waved goodbye. After watching the light of the night fade away, Xiao Yu immediately reined in his horse and turned around, heading back to Dagui Mountain on the horse trail that circled the border mountains of Muyun Mountain.
Holding a lantern in his hand, he didn't dare to hurry up. He estimated that it would still take three hours to get to Dagui Mountain. He carried the Nirvana Sword on his back and drove slowly along the horse road.
On the road late at night, he was not afraid of meeting people from the Seven-Floor Swords Division. The mountains are vast and the forests are deep and lush. If he can't defeat him, there are countless ways to go back. He doesn't believe that he can't escape.
After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the horse trail in the hinterland of the Muyun Mountains. Not far away, Xiao Yu caught a glimpse of lights flickering in the distance and figures moving.
"It's just that I'm afraid that whatever I encounter will happen." Xiao Yu frowned and muttered. Then he reined in the horse and stopped, untied the Nirvana Sword wrapped in the long gown around his waist and took it out, then tied the lantern in his hand to the saddle, then slowly led the horse to the edge of the woods on one side, and tied it to On a tree trunk as thick as the neck.
After doing this, he slowly pulled out the Nirvana Sword in his hand, and put the scabbard on the saddle.
Standing in the middle of the horse path, holding a long sword in his hand, he quietly waited for the swordsman's men to catch up. The lights are coming closer.
Six horses were lined up in a row. The Mashan swordsman was all dressed in blue. He slowly pulled out the sword at his waist and threw the lantern in his hand on the ground.
Six swordsmen from the Sword Division came after him. Xiaoyu raised his sword and looked at each other. Neither party is a fool, they both know who the other party is!
There is not much to say about this battle. The six men jumped out of their horses with swords in hand and rushed towards Xiao Yu. The shadow of the sword flashed, and the cold light was soaked in coldness... The breeze in the forest blew gently.
After just a dozen breaths. Blood splattered all over the floor. People also fell to the ground. Under the soft light of the lantern, one person shook his sword slightly, and the last drop of blood dripped from the tip of the sword, as clean as before.
Red handle, white light, kills people without leaving blood, so no blood is seen. Xiaoyu smiled slightly, got on his horse, and continued walking through the green mountains at night, one person, one horse, and one lamp.
After traveling at night for more than two hours, the sky gradually turned white. Xiaoyu was worried about the safety of the two old guys at home, so she threw down the lantern, reined in her horse and drove quickly.
In this way, we can reach the entrance of Hejia Village in Dagui Mountain in half an hour. ...There is a small lake between Dagui Mountain and the nameless mountain peak. This lake is called Turtle Lake.
The shortest way to Hejiacun is by water, and you need to take a boat across Tuo Lake. The population of Hejia Village is small, and there are no large boats at the ferry. There are only three or four small boats that earn money from passing villagers.
The sky became brighter and it was already the morning of April 21st. The ferry on this side of Yuanhu Lake. There is a small town at Dutou, with only about ten families. Two or three families make a living by rowing boats, and two or three families are either vegetable farmers or selling some mountain products to make a living.
The Shichi family near the ferry built a small shed and opened a tavern, selling breakfast, lunch and dinner.
A group of swordsmen, including the leader Lan Sha, there were seventeen people in total. They crowded the tables at the entrance of the tavern, and no one said anything. Lan Sha paid the tavern owner a piece of silver, and all seventeen people drank porridge to satisfy their hunger.
The store owners are an old couple who are almost 60 years old. I had just cooked a pot of porridge in the morning, but I didn’t expect it to be brought out before it was bought clean. Seeing that they were all holding swords at their sides, they were not easy to mess with, and they did not dare to say anything, so the old woman went to the back to cook porridge. Well, the old man stood outside tremblingly, silently waiting for everyone to finish their porridge and put away their bowls.
"Store, do you have to pay for tying a horse over there?" Lan Sha asked while drinking porridge and calling the old man over.
The old man stepped forward cautiously and replied: "Guest sir, that piece of wasteland is my home land. The tavern is busy with business, so there is no land for farming, so it is used as a place for passers-by to tie their horses. Just take care of your horses." It's right there at the bolt. As for the silver, you can give it as you see." Lan Sha nodded when he heard this, handed over another one or two silver coins, and said lightly: "Seventeen horses, please look after them for half a day." The old man trembled. He collected the money and nodded.
"By the way, I wonder when the boatman at the ferry head will sail the ferry?" Lan Sha asked again. The old man replied: "Your guest is going to Hejiacun?" Lan Sha nodded.
The old man replied again: "The boat owners are all neighbors. If you are in a hurry, I can call you for help." Lan Sha smiled slightly and said,
"Thank you." When the old man turned around and ran to the boatman's houses on the street, as soon as he walked out of the fenced yard, he saw another young man coming on horseback.
At this time, all the swordsmen eating in the courtyard put down their bowls, placed their right hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists, and slowly stood up.
"Stay here, there's no need to wake up the boatman." Lan Sha smiled slightly, walked slowly to the old man, handed over a handful of silver, about a dozen taels in total, and gave it to the old man, and then greeted the old man. : "This money is for you. You are getting old, so go home and close the door to rest." After Lan Sha finished speaking, he patted the old man in the store on the shoulder.
The old man understood and nodded slightly. He was so frightened that he hurried into his room without closing the door. As for how the outer courtyard would be beaten later, the swordsman gave him enough money to buy a new one.
Xiao Yu turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to one side, then gently pulled out the red-handled sword, and then casually inserted the green scabbard into the saddle.
Seventeen people looked coldly at the young man standing outside the fence, waiting for Lan Sha's order.
"Why, are you standing and watching the show?" Xiaoyu slowly walked to Lansha three feet away, stood still, and said with a smile: "Heaven has its eyes, and retribution is not good. Si Yuanyuan's life is destined to be taken away. If it is true, If you want to blame me, that's fine! Due to emotion and reason, Si Yuanyuan should be killed! I admit it, young master!" Lan Sha didn't answer when he heard this. He only raised his hand to rub his temples and frowned. Now that things have come to this, he is destined to fight Ji Ruge.
Lan Sha nodded immediately and whispered: "Kill!"
