Not waiting for Sow Lin, Song Che could no longer bear the bumps, so he jumped off the horse, preferring to carry the horse on his back rather than ride again.
"Boss, you have to do what we do, clamp your legs tighter and keep your butt as close to the saddle as possible. This will make riding much easier."
Lu Jingxiang once again demonstrated the essentials of horse riding.
Can that be the same? Women are born with a wider pelvic bone, whether it is concave or convex, and the more bumpy it is, the more comfortable it is. Men are completely different. The bumps cause pain in the hips and balls.
"You all have martial arts skills, I can't compare with you."
Song Che waved his hand and said that he had to keep his feet on the ground for a while.
The boss was walking, so the waiters couldn't be any higher than him. Nangong Yue and Lu Jingxiang also jumped off their horses and walked with Song Che.
The sow forest is so vast that the naked eye cannot see the end.
The two female swordsmen consciously took off their swords, guarded Song Che on the left and right, and walked cautiously through the forest.
In recent days, the weather has been erratic, with clear skies during the day and drizzle at night. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the sky is always gray.
The already depressing atmosphere intensified after entering the Sow Forest. The lush tree crown was like a big umbrella, blocking out the light. The boulevards that had not been stepped on for a long time were covered with fallen leaves. In the humid environment, the smell of decay was particularly pungent. nose.
The woods were uncomfortably quiet.
"Speaking of which, I've never seen what a Japanese pirate looks like." Lu Jingxiang started talking.
Nangong Yuexian said: "Although I have never seen Japanese pirates, I have seen Japanese people. Three years ago, Japan sent envoys to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor. They are short in stature, have big foreheads, and the men also wear braids. Anyway, they are shocking to the world."
"Three years ago, they proclaimed themselves vassal to our court, and three years later, they invaded the coast. They are such a shameful nation. If I see them, I will definitely punish them." Lu Jingxiang sneered.
After listening to their chat, an idea suddenly popped into Song Che's mind.
If the Japanese could be eradicated in this era and trigger the butterfly effect, perhaps there would be no war of aggression nine hundred years later.
This idea is feasible, but also terrifying. If one person can change the trajectory of history, does it count as changing one's fate against the will of heaven?
Throughout the ages, those who defy nature seem to have no happy ending.
"Look! There seems to be a person hanging there!"
Lu Jingxiang suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed.
About one hundred and eighty feet away, there seemed to be a real "person" hanging on a big tree beside the road.
Song Che took out the telescope to investigate. In the lens, a woman with disheveled hair was hung from a big tree with her hands tied. She was wearing clothes on her upper body but naked on her lower body. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Something is coming.
Song Che put away the telescope and reminded: "Be careful, there will be a monster if something goes wrong."
The three of them slowed down, alerting their surroundings as they moved closer to the big tree.
After getting closer, I could see clearly that the woman was about thirty years old. Her clothes were obviously torn, her body was covered with bruises, and her lower body was... red and swollen. She had been humiliated before her death, and there were more than one.
"It's worse than a beast!"
Lu Jingxiang wanted to step forward to free the body, but Song Che pulled her back, "Be careful of the trap."
How could a corpse suddenly appear in the inaccessible woods? Judging from its stiffness, it seemed that the time of death was very near, so it shouldn't take too long to be hung up.
This shows that the murderer is probably nearby.
In a dark environment, every tree trunk and every patch of grass can hide people, or more than one person.
Lu Jingxiang gritted her teeth and said, "Are we just going to leave like this? At least we can cover her shame."
"Since they are targeting us, they will never let us leave easily."
Song Che looked around and whispered:
"There shouldn't be too many of them, otherwise they would have rushed out to intercept and kill them. The biggest risk at the moment is that the enemy is hidden and we are clear;
There is only one boulevard. If you want to go forward, you must pass by the big trees. They must be hiding nearby, occupying the most advantageous attack position, and it is the direction that is most difficult for us to defend..."
As he spoke, his eyes began to glance upward.
"Don't look up, it's good to know."
Song Che first winked at Lu Jingxiang, pointed to the tree trunk with his chin, and motioned for her to put down the body.
Lu Jingxiang understood and walked slowly to the tree trunk, but before she could touch the hemp rope——
"Uh-huh!"
"Kill me!"
really!
Two ronin suddenly jumped out from the treetops above.
"Snapped!"
Song Che raised his hand and fired a shot. Before they landed, he sent one of them to Guixi first.
Lu Jingxiang was on guard for a long time and ducked sideways to avoid another ronin's attack. She was about to draw her sword and fight back. Unexpectedly, the pile of dead leaves under her feet suddenly moved away. Two ronin appeared and slashed at her ankles with their swords!
It turns out that there are ambush not only above the head, but also under the feet!
Lu Jingxiang had quick eyes and quick feet. He kicked on the tree trunk and retreated after receiving the reaction force. Three ronin pursued him with swords. Nangong Yue rushed forward with sword and fought side by side with Lu Jingxiang.
The ronin was very powerful, his moves were vicious and deadly, and his cooperation was quite tacit. The two sides fought hard in the woods.
In this kind of melee situation, Song Che's musket was completely useless and he could only worry on the sidelines.
After the two sides fought for hundreds of moves, Ronin realized that it would not last long, so he suddenly changed his offensive strategy, leaving two people to contain Nangong Yue and Lu Jingxiang, and took one person to kill Song Che.
"Qiao sack sack, Qiao sack sack..." He hurriedly greeted in Japanese.
Ronin was really stunned.
"Snapped!"
Song Che saw the right moment and pulled the trigger, which was a bit off and only hit Ronin's shoulder.
Ronin screamed in pain.
Song Che raised his gun and wanted to shoot again——
"Boss, be careful!"
"call out!"
A cross dart whizzed past his face, causing burning pain. He touched it with his hand, and there was blood everywhere!
In this dazed moment, Ronin, who was hit on the shoulder, flew forward like a mad dog. Song Che hurriedly stepped back, but by chance, his back foot interfered with his front foot, and he almost didn't fall.
The Japanese sword is close to the chest.
At the critical moment, a beautiful figure stepped in front of him and blocked the knife with her waist.
"Pfft!"
The blade cut through his clothes and blood spurted out.
Nangong Yue snorted, grabbed the Japanese sword with her bare hands and pulled it hard, then cut off the ronin's head with a backhand sword.
"Boss, stand back."
Nangong Yue gave instructions and once again joined the battle with Lu Jingxiang to kill the enemy.
Half of the four ronin died. With equal numbers, our side obviously has the advantage.
Lu Jingxiang and Nangong Yue cooperated with each other, using two swords in one move to kill another person!
The last ronin left retreated repeatedly. He used his knife to stir up the fallen leaves, blocking the attacking line of sight. At the same time, he suddenly produced a "white pill" and threw it hard on the ground——
"Bang!"
The white pill exploded with a bang, emitting billowing white smoke.
"Go back and protect the boss!"
They quickly retreated to Song Che and waved their sword flowers to blow away the smoke.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded!
"No! He stole our horse!"
