Li Shanwa was riding on his horse, staring blankly at the men in black passing by. He didn't know what to do for a moment. At this time, a man in black passing by him said strangely: "Hey, didn't you hear Commander Ding's command?" A military order? Why don’t you leave?”
Hearing the sound, Li Shanwa turned her head and glanced at the man in black, and said blankly: "It was Escort Tian who asked me to wait for him here."
"That escort Tian?" The man in black sounded serious.
"Oh, let me think about it! He seems to be called Tian Shafu." Li Shanwa paused in deep thought, trying to remember how Tian Biaoshi called himself Tian Shafu in front of the little Taoist boy just now. At this time, he changed the character in the middle of his name. Forgot.
The man in black looked him up and down and said angrily: "You have even changed your clothes. Do you want to be a deserter?"
Li Shanwa, who had never seen much of the world, was frightened by his roar. She had no choice but to defend herself in a low voice: "Tian Escort and the others said they would take the boy with them to look for his parents in the Ghost Palace. The boy is coming!"
The man in black was confused by Li Shanwa's endless explanation, but it also made him even more angry. In his current mind, he had already concluded that Li Shanwa wanted to be a deserter, and everything he said was just It was just an excuse to exonerate himself. He immediately pulled out a simple knife, put it on Li Shanwa's neck, and shouted angrily: "Come with me. If you dare to take a step back, I will chop off your head!"
"Yes, yes." Li Shanwa had seen this formation before, and was so frightened that he said yes repeatedly. He quickly kicked the horse's belly with his toes. The horse neighed in pain and swooped out.
The man in black patted his horse and tried to catch up, but he could still catch up. The young man and his horse became a speck in his eyes in the blink of an eye.
"Whose subordinate is this?" Commander Ding, who had just raised his riding whip, was quietly leading his team toward the large vehicle formation. He originally wanted to sneak to about a mile away from the target, and then suddenly launch an attack to catch the opponent off guard. , to my surprise, I suddenly saw a knight rushing out of my team, running forward like crazy! This immediately disrupted his raid plan and made him furious.
Seeing that a surprise attack was no longer possible, Commander Ding flashed his sword on his horse and shouted: "Come for me."
Suddenly, patches of snow mist were stirred up on the snowy field by the horses' hooves. The men in black all held up polished swords in their hands, urging their horses to run wildly towards the large car formation ahead.
Such a big movement was immediately noticed by the sentry on the other side of the large car array, but because the distance was too far, the bow and arrow could not reach it for the time being. The sentry outside could only shout to the people who were resting in the car array to prepare in advance and stand ready.
Li Shanwa closed his eyes tightly at this moment and ran in front of a group of men in black. Hearing the loud killing sounds behind him, he was so frightened that his mind went blank. He pressed his body tightly against the horse's back and let the horse move towards him. Gallop forward.
Running, running, he suddenly heard a "woo" sound in his ears. Based on his past experience of going hunting with his parents in the mountains, Li Shanwa immediately judged that it was the sound of an arrow flying through the air, and then, The whining sounds became more and more intensive, and from time to time there were screams from men in black behind them after being hit by arrows.
Suddenly, he felt a sudden lightness in his body. He flew up from the horse and fell to the snow with a "plop". It turned out that the horse he was riding encountered a car formation set up by the escort agency while running and jumped to the ground. He got up, but failed to jump over and hit the cart. The force of inertia knocked him away from the horse.
As soon as his body fell to the ground, Li Shanwa ignored the pain all over his body and quickly got up from the snow. When he turned around, he saw that the men in black who were following him were already coming up to kill him. In order to prevent being accidentally killed, he crawled and hid in the snow. Under the shaft of the cart.
At this time, there was a lot of killing outside. Just as Li Shanwa was about to stick his head out to take a look, a man in black fell in front of him, his eyes wide open, and he looked like he was dead.
Li Shanwa was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly retracted her head. The two sides went back and forth. After fighting for about half an hour, the shouts of death outside gradually became quieter. At this time, a voice suddenly shouted: "Escort Agency" Brothers, as the ancients said, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You have also seen that our numbers are many times yours. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that you and others will be exhausted soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person said angrily: "What do you want?"
The voice just now chuckled and said: "Brother, the so-called green hills are not afraid of running out of firewood. How about you leave the escort car and I will let you live?"
After a moment of silence, the other party agreed: "Okay, but we have to drive away a large car as the cost of settling down after the escape, and we also have to take away the injured brothers."
"Haha, deal!" The man agreed immediately without any hesitation.
When Li Shanwa talked about this, Qing Kui suddenly felt his face getting hot. He did not expect that Wei Zhenshan, his eldest disciple who he had always thought was loyal and courageous, was not only greedy for life and fearful of death, but also colluded with the robbers and secretly split the escort money. Originally, before Chen Xiaomu and the others arrived, he only found out through simple inquiries that Wei Zhenshan and the others were still alive, so he was very excited. But when Li Shanwa explained the process in detail, he realized how dirty his apprentice was. , I am afraid that I will be unable to hold my head up in front of my peers from now on.
But Chen Xiaomu didn't think so. He felt that no matter what, human life came first. When faced with a life-or-death situation, it was human nature to choose to save his own life. Wei Zhenshan's actions were understandable.
When they heard that Chen Xiaomu actually opened his mouth to excuse the evil man Wei Zhenshan, and said that if this matter happened to him, he might do the same, everyone present was surprised. They looked at Chen Xiaomu as if they didn't know him. Fortunately, The cave was only illuminated by a few torches, otherwise Chen Xiaomu would have seen all kinds of wonderful expression changes on everyone's faces.
Next, Li Shanwa continued to narrate that after negotiating terms with the men in black, the remaining escorts in the escort agency took a large car to an unknown destination. It was only then that he got off the shaft of the large car. Climbing out, I happened to meet the escort master Tian leading people to clean up the battlefield and bury the dead people from both sides. After seeing him, he was surprised and said: "Little brother, didn't I tell you to wait for me to find you behind? Why did you run here by yourself?"
So Li Shanwa told him what he had encountered before, and the escort Tian was dumbfounded. He quickly brought him to Commander Ding, repeated what Li Shanwa said, and explained that Li Shanwa It was the guide he found to lead the way, not the soldiers under his command.
After hearing this, Commander Ding felt unbelievable and sent for Deputy Commander Yu, the man in black who had just ordered Li Shanwa to rush forward. After Deputy Commander Yu confirmed it, Commander Ding was speechless. Logically speaking, Li Shanwa was not alive. That's right, he was forced forward with a knife on his neck, and it couldn't be wrong that Deputy Commander Yu caught the deserter, right? Although Li Shanwa was not one of their soldiers, he should still be alert.
All said and done, it's just a pity that dozens of soldiers were shot to death on the way to the charge because they were forced to charge ahead of time!
Commander Ding sighed and told Deputy Commander Yu and Escort Hetian: "This matter ends here. The reasons must not be spread to outsiders. Be careful not to let people with bad intentions make a big fuss about it!"
"Here" the two of them clasped their fists.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers turned the front of the Taiping car, hitched up the horses and started walking back along the original road until daylight. At this time, a peregrine falcon suddenly appeared above the convoy, "chirping" around the convoy. Stop, Commander Ding recognized that this was a sea turtle. It was probably related to the bodyguards who guarded the bodyguards in the original escort agency. He immediately summoned a dozen archers and drew their bows together, intending to shoot down the sea turtle. Lest it go back to report the news.
Unexpectedly, this sea turtle was very smart. It was hovering at low altitude, as if looking for someone. When I saw the bow and arrow below, I immediately felt something bad. I hurriedly flapped my wings and flew high. Although I escaped a little slowly, I was hit by a bullet on the wing. The arrow flew away.
Then the convoy came to Guijianchou. Before entering the cave, Li Shanwa's nervous heart almost jumped out. According to the arrangement of Commander Ding, an old Taoist named Qiu brought two little Taoist boys, one of whom was named Tianji. Li Shanwa had seen the Taoist boy when he was catching wires at night. After dawn, Li Shanwa took a closer look at the Taoist boy. He had white skin and red lips, and a childish face, which was actually very cute.
The three masters and apprentices led three black two-headed strange birds that they called black dragons into the cave first. When they walked to the entrance of the cave, the old Taoist first signaled the two little Taoists to stop, and then faced the three two-headed strange birds that followed behind them. Chi Chi Chi Gu Gu said something, and the three strange birds immediately spread their wings and flew into Guijianchou one after another.
After standing at the entrance of the cave and waiting for about half an hour, none of the three strange birds came back. The old Taoist became restless and kept looking into the cave, but it was pitch black and could not see anything.
At this time, Commander Ding stepped forward, first bowed respectfully to the old man, and then said carefully: "National Master, can I send someone to investigate?"
The old Taoist pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's good. I haven't seen the black dragon come out for such a long time. I guess the monster in this cave must be extraordinary!"
As soon as Commander Ding heard the old Taoist's agreement, he immediately waved to Escort Tian, who was standing in the front row of the men in black, and ordered: "Commander Tian Zhi, I hereby order you to lead a group of soldiers into the cave to investigate. If you find anything inside the cave, If the situation is different, don’t be reluctant to fight, but come out and report it quickly!”
"No." Guard Tian cupped his fists.
"Hold on, the poor Taoist will go in with you." Seeing that Bodyguard Tian was about to lead people into the cave, the old Taoist stepped into the cave with two little Taoist boys.
"This..." The sudden change made Escort Tian look towards Commander Ding in shock.
Commander Ding remained silent and waved his hand, meaning, let him go.
Escort Tian led a dozen people, including Li Shanwa, and lit the prepared torches as soon as they entered the cave, illuminating the dark cave brightly. Although there were rocks stumbling under his feet from time to time, it was considered It was easy to walk. After about six or seven miles of walking in fear, the group suddenly saw a bright light in the distance and heard the faint cry of a black strange bird. The old Taoist and two Taoist boys walking in front of them heard the sound. Speeding up the pace, Escort Tian was stunned in place, and then ordered a man in black next to him to return the same way, report the situation in the cave to Commander Ding, and led a dozen men in black to rush towards the place where the noise came from.
