The next day they were on the road again. Ruan Xianbei didn't seem to be in very good spirits. He fell asleep right after getting on the carriage. However, Cheng Suisui, who also had insomnia, was extremely energetic. However, he never found a chance to ask her. Cheng Suisui's soul of gossip was burning. That's a heart-wrenching thing.
But just when they were about to arrive in Yangzhou City, they encountered an assassination.
They were passing through a mountain trail with about seven or eight bends. There were mountains on the left and cliffs on the right. The lush jungles in the mountains blocked a lot of sunlight. Apart from the chirping of birds and the sound of horse hooves, they were the only ones on the road.
"Something's not right." Lan, a pretty good killer on the 19th floor, first slowed down his horse's hooves and said to Ruan Xianbei.
The mountain road was very narrow and could only pass one carriage after another, so Shen Xuan rode at the front, Ruan Xianbei and Cui Lin were in the middle, and Cheng Suisui and the others followed at the end.
Shen Xuan also slowed down and looked back at Tong Chun. They also noticed that something was wrong. It was too quiet, and it was a bit weird.
Yangzhou is prosperous, with many businessmen coming and going all year round. Apart from the mountain road, this section of the road is also a waterway. The waterway is far away from the mountain and the road is close, so although this mountain road is not a must-pass, it is usually chosen by many people.
Today, I didn't see any convoys except them, and this chilling murderous intention reached its peak when they reached the second half of the journey.
"careful!"
"Junior sister Cheng, you drive." Tong Chun handed the reins to Cheng Suisui, and he was always ready to take action.
With a whooshing sound, a hail of arrows shot out from nowhere, and Tongchun soared into the sky. His golden bell cannot be used in a wide range, but it is still no problem to intercept these arrows.
He took out a staff from nowhere and rotated it, intercepting all the arrow feathers outside the carriage. t.
The whooshing sound outside made Yue Ying'er in the carriage panic. She clutched the edge of the carriage tightly, "Have we met a killer! Is someone trying to kill us?"
Fang Qiya comforted her in the carriage: "It's okay, Miss Yue, don't go out, remember to follow me."
"ah!!!"
Yue Ying'er opened the car curtain in panic and fear, and saw a sharp arrow heading towards her door. She screamed and even forgot to avoid it. Fortunately, Fang Qiya helped her, and the arrow was shot down by Tong Chun when it almost penetrated the car curtain.
"Ah, missed it."
Fortunately, the noise did not harm the horses, and their carriage could still drive smoothly for the time being.
There should be no problem with Shen Xuan and Ruan Xianbei in front. After this period, they fell into a short period of peace.
Until I heard rocks rolling again——
"Let's go!"
Shen Xuan looked up and saw the countless falling rocks rolling towards them on the mountain. He immediately clamped the horse's belly and accelerated away. There was a turn in front of him. After this turn, there were three more turns to the exit of this section of the road.
Cui Lin was much calmer than last time. She also opened the curtain to check the situation outside. The body of Cui's carriage was of good quality, and all the attacks coming towards them were blocked. Even if there were some missed ones, they would be blocked. They can't do much harm.
Cui Lin even tried to reassure Mingxiang not to panic, her eyes filled with calmness.
She reached out and picked up an arrow stuck in the middle of the carriage, and shouted: "Cousin, I feel like this time is not the same group as last time."
"This arrow is marked."
She handed the arrow out, and Ruan Xianbei took it and took a look. There was indeed a faint mark on the tail of the arrow feathers. It was so faint that it was hard to see clearly. She squinted for a while and felt something familiar. Shen Xuan The words "walk fast" and the sound of rocks came at the same time.
She broke off the front of the arrow, leaving only the tail, and threw it back to Cui Lin: "Cousin, can you hold it for me first?"
She looked at Xiang Lan: "If necessary, can you run away with your cousin alone?"
Lan seemed to think for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." She patted Lan on the shoulder and stood in front of the carriage.
"Saint, there is someone in front of you!
Miyouliu, who went to explore the road immediately, came back and said.
There are people in front of them and rocks falling on their heads. Who wants to bury them here?
As the rockfall got closer and closer, the mountain was shaking and the carriage was shaking violently. Even the horses were a little restless and wanted to leave this place quickly. If they were not pulling the carriage, they could run faster.
The carriage seemed too cumbersome at this time, so she shouted: "Everyone, get out of the carriage!!!"
"Cousin, come out." She started to cut off the connection between the carriage and the horse. There were horses in total, and one horse could only carry the weight of two adults at most. Cui Lin got on and Ma Lan had to protect her. It should be fine if Mingxiang wants Mi You to escort them away together.
Although Cui Mansion's horses are not the best, they are still good ones. Once the connection between the carriages is broken, the movements of the two horses are obviously much lighter.
"Brother Miyou, take Mingxiang!" Ruan Xianbei couldn't help but throw Mingxiang onto the horse. Mingxiang had never ridden a horse before and the hand didn't know where to put it. Miyou obeyed and quickly controlled the direction of the horse to avoid accidentally falling. Fall off a cliff.
Rumble--Rumble--
It's too late!
Now it's a race against time. Shen Xuan is already fighting the man in black in front of him. His sword is so powerful that there are almost no survivors wherever he passes.
Ruan Xianbei turned around, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Fang Qiya and Tongchun were each driving a horse, and Cheng Suisui in the carriage was pulling Yue Ying'er. Yue Ying'er was too scared to get out of the carriage with her legs weak, so their Go slower.
This is a point of life.
"Brother Shen, help me!" Yue Ying'er cried and called Shen Xuan's name. Shen Xuan was fighting bloody battles in front of him. The men in black kept emerging from the mountains as if they didn't want money or life. He couldn't get out at all. .
After Yue Ying'er shouted once, she stopped shouting again, just because she saw the situation in front of her. At this time, she hated her eyesight so much. Those people in front of her would still run forward even if their hands were cut off. Even though half of his body was punctured with blood and intestines flowing out, he still rushed forward with his eyes open.
"Hurry up!"
Cheng Suisui and Fang Qiya also thought of this, but at this time Yue Ying'er was more and more afraid to go out, holding on to the car door as if nothing would happen as long as she didn't go out.
Tong Chun and Fang Qiya broke up many large rocks, and fist-sized stones already hit them. In order to keep moving forward smoothly, they had to protect their mounts from being injured.
Everyone is trying to escape from this mountain road, but no matter how high their cultivation level is, they will eventually be unable to escape under such a gift of nature.
"Junior sister! Cut the rope!" Cheng Suisui failed to pull Yue Ying'er, and was about to be smashed into meat pie by the boulder. He had to hug Yue Ying'er and fly out of the carriage. At the same time, Fang Qiya cut the rope, and the boulder carried the carriage with her. They rolled down the cliff together.
Cheng Suisui's behavior of jumping out of a moving carriage to escape was also very dangerous. She and Yue Ying'er rolled around on the ground a few times, and finally stopped at the edge of the cliff. They didn't know how deep it was, and they didn't know what was there. They couldn't see clearly. If they fell down, they wouldn't be able to find the bones. I can only pray that heaven and earth will spare a good person.
Cheng Suisui pulled Yue Ying'er to stand up, but unfortunately, it backfired.
"My, my foot is sprained." Yue Ying'er's face was pale, and the pain in her right foot clearly told her what her current situation was.
Cheng Suisui's expression changed. Yue Ying'er didn't have as good physical fitness as them. It was normal for her to twist her foot while jumping on the carriage.
Damn, how did this broken road get repaired?
Seeing the two people falling out of the carriage and rolling down, Ruan Xianbei breathed a sigh of relief, but Cheng Suisui didn't move after getting up. Yue Ying'er's awkward posture made her guess what must have happened. She cursed in her heart, and her body He was faster than his brain and flew directly to the rescue.
"Saint!" Without thinking too much, Miyou blurted out "Saint". His mission was to protect the saint, not other people. If something happened to the saint in front of him, it would be his dereliction of duty, let alone what the leader thought. , he himself could not forgive himself.
"You hold the rope." He handed the rope to Ming Xiang and went back to assist Ruan Xianbei.
Shen Xuan also noticed what was going on, but he just didn't have the skills to do it. This steady stream of people didn't look like humans at all. They were just some Qi refiners and low-level Earth Xuan, not even Tian Xuan, but these people put pressure on him. They are not afraid at all, they are not afraid of death at all.
Several people tried their best to face the endless boulders. It was very difficult to protect themselves. Cheng Suisui stood there with Yue Ying'er in his arms, his forehead covered with sweat. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ruan Xianbei and Luoshi heading towards each other. She came, and Fang Qiya on horseback called her name anxiously. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
She's quite popular.
"I'm sorry for dragging you down." Yue Ying'er said this while crying. The despair on her face seemed to her that she was going to die here today.
The boulder seemed to be magnified in front of her eyes, occupying her entire sight. Soon after, Ruan Xianbei swooped down and hugged the two of them.
Her forehead glowed with white light, and she didn't know what trick she used to raise her aura to the extreme, "Let's go."
Ruan Xianbei squeezed out such a word from his mouth with great reluctance. In Cheng Suisui's opinion, he didn't know whether it was an illusion at that moment. Even the rolling boulder stopped for a second.
It seems to be an illusion again.
Countless boulders fell, the ground shook, and the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.
And as Ruan Xianbei took over Yue Ying'er and pushed Cheng Suisui out, he hit Yue Ying'er's back with another palm and knocked her away to the approaching Mi You, while he was hit hard by the boulder. Go down.
"Ruan Ruan!!!"
"Saint!!!"
"cousin!!!"
Various sounds echoed in the mountains, and as Ruan Xianbei fell off the cliff, the men in black receded like a tide. Looking back at the road that had been completely blocked by falling rocks, everyone let out a breath. If they were pressed Even the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva has no chance of survival under the rocks.
"I'll go find her. You go to Yangzhou City as planned." Shen Xuan only said this to Fang Qiya, and nodded to Tong Chun. Without hesitation, she jumped from the place where Ruan Xianbei fell to find her.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
