The golden brilliance of the setting sun shines on the city wall as far as the eye can see, and on the tiger-head flag that rustles in the wind on the top of the city. It is the flag of King Dingxi. Approaching the city wall, the two characters "Linze" on the city gate were carved with silver hooks. They were stained with blood by the setting sun, making these two characters look murderous and frightening. This word is like its owner, frightening the border and guarding the city. On the other side of the moat, there was a soldier standing on each side of the city gate, wearing armor and holding a spear. Only two bright eyes were exposed under the bronze helmet, staring at the people walking across the bridge one by one without blinking. From time to time, he would cross his spear and stop people he thought were suspicious, and say: "Slow down!" After careful inspection, he said again: "Let's go!" There were many small vendors gathered on both sides of the bridge on the moat side, one next to the other. There is a long street stall. Because Linze City has strict laws and regulations, non-Nanqi people are not allowed to enter. There is even a stone tablet at the head of the bridge, which reads: Foreigners died when they crossed the bridge. The word "Linze" on the city gate has the same murderous spirit, and it was written by one person. The scary thing is that this is not just intimidation. From time to time, you can always see the soldiers guarding the gate checking people crossing the bridge. After asking questions, they will suddenly pierce a person with a bullet and drag him into the abyss. Therefore, small traders from foreign countries often gather by the moat to exchange some items with the people coming out of the city, or sell some items. Linze's city guard didn't care. As long as you didn't cross the bridge, even if you killed people and set fires on the other side, it had nothing to do with him. This kind of jurisdiction makes people outside the city tremble with fear, but people inside the city feel at ease.
"We're finally here!" The middle-aged man who led the caravan let out a deep breath, raised his wrist and wiped his forehead. The white handkerchief tied around his wrist had become yellow and dry from the sweat along the way.
The three of them also let out a long breath, looked at each other, smiled easily, and finally relaxed their tension. Chen Yuan said: "Yes! We're here, it's time to settle the account." After saying that, he turned over and got off the camel. Before his feet landed, an arrow whizzed from behind and reached the back of his heart. Chen Yuan jumped up a few feet on his toes, and then Kick the camel's back and it rises another ten feet. As Chen Yuan turned around in the air, the four broken pieces of silver sandwiched between his fingers were thrown around. Then there were four muffled sounds, and the stall owners of the four stalls at the end of the bridge fell to the ground, with everything in their hands. Holding the crossbow, there was a bloody hole between his eyebrows, and broken silver penetrated from the back of his head. Before Chen Yuan landed, he heard a chaotic shouting below. Looking at the caravan again, everyone looked like they had been drinking. They all had extraordinary skills. Gu Ming and Dai Er were each surrounded by three or four people, and they were cooperating with each other. This person could not hit with a knife. , that person’s sword blade is already waiting there. The two of them were in danger, but they could not cope with it. Gu Ming had no time to draw the knife, and finally got the opportunity to draw the knife out of the sheath. He was hit on the arm, and the flesh was immediately torn open and bleeding. However, as long as Gu Ming had the long knife in his hand, it would only take a few or five moves to turn the situation around. Chen Yuan ignored him and landed on the dead camel, flying towards Dai Er. Dai Er was also chased and beaten by several people who cooperated very well. He could not find any space to fight back. He only relied on his superb body skills to avoid and wander around. Fortunately, he was not injured at all. Chen Yuan came from behind, and with a flash of cold light in his sleeve, one of the people who besieged Dai Er fell down. But as long as one person is missing, for Dai Er, it is no different than having only one person attacking him. Soon the remaining people were beaten until they vomited blood, and they were placed on top of two piles of sandbags. Looking at Gu Ming, the battle was over, and there was only one person left alive. He was slapping the man in the mouth: "Cut my arm! Cut my arm!" When Dai Er saw this scene, he suddenly seemed to remember something, something on his butt. Among the people who were sitting down, they rummaged around for a while, picked up one of them, grinned, and threw it at Gu Ming's feet: "There's also this one! This one can kill two of you with one hand, and the other hand can still dig holes." .”
"Stop playing, let's go." Chen Yuan shouted to the two of them, and the three of them chased back the way they came. Not even half an hour after the chase, they saw the leading middle-aged man pulling a small cart and running wildly.
The middle-aged man only felt that the car was getting heavier and heavier, and he muttered resentfully: "What a piece of shit, it's getting heavier as you pull it."
"You don't know what kind of crap it is, what are you doing with it?" A voice suddenly came from behind, which frightened the middle-aged man. He looked back and collapsed on the ground. No wonder it felt heavier and heavier. I didn’t even know when three people were sitting on the small scooter.
"Brother! Brother, please spare your life, brother! I am obsessed with money! Please show me your noble hand, brother!" When the middle-aged man turned around, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed with a mournful face.
"Who ordered you?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I don't know him. I just accepted two hundred taels of silver from him. After I finished talking, I still have five hundred taels." The middle-aged man said tremblingly.
"Then where are you going now?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"He asked me to take your box and return it to the small restaurant." The middle-aged man said.
"Then why didn't you do something in the hotel? What a waste of effort!" Dai Er shouted.
The middle-aged man trembled again with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "He said, he said that you three should not be underestimated. They sent four guardians from the gang, disguised as hawkers, and ambush at the end of Linze Bridge. They must hit you with one hit. "
"Why ambushed at the bridge? Wouldn't it be better to ambush in the store?" Gu Ming also asked.
"He said, only, only when you are most careless, you have the best chance of winning. When you reach the bridge, that is when you are most careless, and when you get off the camel, that is when you are least able to defend yourself. When you are most careless and least vulnerable, When I am unable to defend myself, I will attack you." The middle-aged man said.
"Good idea." Chen Yuan praised, "If we don't take action at the most suitable place, we will definitely be on guard. In the place we think is safe, wait until we have completely lowered our guard before attacking."
"But you still didn't take it lightly." The middle-aged man said.
"It's just luck, thanks to others' help." Chen Yuan said.
"Who will help you?" the middle-aged man asked. Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't answer, he added, "You were already on guard against us before entering the shop."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Why did we make you suspicious? The journey was smooth." The middle-aged man asked.
"It's because you guys are so smooth." Chen Yuan said with a smile, "Hire ordinary caravans and ask them to move slowly deliberately. Even if they bring enough food and water, they won't agree."
The middle-aged man was silent.
"This kind of caravan that pulls goods can leave the desert a moment earlier and will never stay in it. Even if you give them an extra hundred taels of silver and let them slow down for an hour and three quarters, they may still be able to survive, but if it takes three days, they will Just throw down the goods and money and leave immediately without looking back." Chen Yuan said again.
"If a person obeys you without any reason, he either loves you deeply or has big plans for you. Obviously you are not the former." Dai Er said.
"Oh! It's okay, brother, these words can come out of your mouth." Gu Ming said in surprise.
"That's right! Just like those brothel girls, if I accidentally drop a gold ingot when I take off my clothes, she will do whatever I ask her to do, and she can learn whatever she doesn't know. But if she strips me I didn't find anything, so I didn't even bother to move, and I still obey you? Don't even think about it. I kept urging you to get over it quickly, and if you weren't paying attention, you could still make her look bored." Dai Er was quite proud.
"This is really... there is knowledge everywhere in life." Chen Yuan smacked his lips in admiration, and Gu Ming also twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Hey!" The middle-aged man sighed, "I really shouldn't have taken this job!" The middle-aged man looked full of frustration.
"Okay, stop pretending." Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "When are you going to attack?"
"Me? What am I pretending to be? How dare I!" the middle-aged man said with a sad face.
"Those people's combined attack skills are quite good, why do you want to be their leader?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile, "If you can't subjugate them, why do they listen to you?"
"Hey! How can I defeat them! That's because..."
"Okay, stop making it up!" Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dai Er. "I pushed a small car so far that I couldn't even breathe. We only started to pant when we got in the car. You were obviously stunned when we got in the car, but you still pretended not to know. But if you weren't so powerful, the three big How could you not know the weight of a living person? Are you just thinking of countermeasures to all these contradictions and have you suddenly forgotten about them?"
The middle-aged man was silent.
"Take your hands out of your sleeves." Gu Mingcang unsheathed his single sword and placed it on the middle-aged man's neck.
The middle-aged man smiled, his face gradually softened, and there was no longer a mournful expression. He took his hands out of his sleeves and slowly spread them out, looking at Chen Yuan with an evil smile on his lips. There were two small transparent balls in each of his palms, which shone brightly in the weak light of the setting sun.
"Glass Bee? Do you have these things?" Chen Yuan was quite surprised.
"What is this? It looks pretty good." Dai Er said.
"Beautiful things are often dangerous." Gu Ming said.
"Yes, poisonous fruits always look so tempting." Chen Yuan said.
"Do you know Liuli Feng? You are really well-informed." The middle-aged man seemed to be unable to help but praise Chen Yuan.
"I've heard about the most poisonous hidden weapon in the Western Region for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it in your hands today." Gu Mingdao.
"Can this gadget be used as a concealed weapon?" Dai Er asked, "This little thing has no edges or corners. Will it hurt if it hits me?"
"Of course it's not sacrificed directly." Chen Yuan smiled, "This thing is very exquisitely made, and is made of glass. The inside is cracked with ice from Western Region killer bee venom, and is wrapped in a glass shell on the outside. The center is also filled with fire oil. I really don't know how. Made." Chen Yuan was amazed.
"What's the point? We have so many skilled craftsmen there that they can carve a boat out of a walnut, and there are little people on the boat." Dai Er sneered.
"Of course it doesn't rank first because of its workmanship." Chen Yuan said with a smile, "If you put a little internal force into this thing, as soon as you crush the outer shell, it will explode violently. The debris inside will shoot out, so much The debris, you don’t know where it will shoot, it’s so fast, there’s no way to avoid it.”
"It's really vicious, it can attack anywhere." Dai Er said.
"What's even more poisonous is that once you crush this, you will die together with your opponent. Even the enemies around you cannot avoid it, and you yourself will bear the brunt." Gu Mingdao.
"So this thing is suitable for him now." Chen Yuan pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "With one against many, you know you are outmatched, but you can't escape."
"Yes, I have no choice but to make this decision." The middle-aged man said with a sinister smile.
"It's indeed a bad idea." Chen Yuan smiled and took two steps forward.
"Don't move. If you take one more step forward I will crush it. There are four of them here. No matter how good you are, you can't avoid them." The middle-aged man said.
"Oh?" Chen Yuan said and took another big step forward. Another big step would be in front of him.
"You!" The middle-aged man took two steps back in confusion and said with wide eyes, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid, very scared." Chen Yuan said.
"Do you think I dare not trade my life with you? One for three, I'm worth it." The middle-aged man said.
"I don't know if you dare." Chen Yuan paused and then said, "But even if you dare, I don't care."
The middle-aged man remained silent and watched as Chen Yuan took out a small bottle from his arms, uncorked the bottle and poured out a little white powder on his fingertips, and asked with a smile: "What do you think this is?"
"Usabine can detoxify killer bee venom." The middle-aged man sighed as his face lost its vitality. "No wonder you recognized this glass bee and even brought the antidote." The middle-aged man muttered to himself, lowered his hands, and four glass beads rolled to the ground. Gu Ming quickly went over to pick it up, dug a deep hole in the ground with a few cuts, buried the four glass beads solidly, and drove a force through the soil. He only heard a few muffled "puff" sounds. The number one poisonous hidden weapon in the Western Region was completely useless.
Chen Yuan smiled, put his finger into his mouth, smacked his lips.
“You?”
"I know." Chen Yuan said.
"Then you..." The middle-aged man was stunned.
"Who told you this is from Xiongbaijian?" Chen Yuan twirled his fingers again, "This is fine salt. We who play in the wild often eat game, so it's best to carry some fine salt with us."
"You lied to me! You bastard!" the middle-aged man yelled and rushed towards Chao Chenyuan. He was slapped by Dai Er in mid-air and stopped his attack. He flew back, and a few broken teeth followed the owner. Describe the trajectory of flight.
"Let's go! Take me to see your master." Dai Er said to the middle-aged man like he was picking up a dead dog.
Suddenly there was a "pop" sound, like a knife that had just touched a very ripe watermelon, and the melon exploded on its own. The middle-aged man's head was shot through by a short arrow like a crispy melon, and the arrow brought out some of the melon pulp. The middle-aged man opened his mouth in astonishment and stared at Dai Er who was holding his collar in disbelief. He looked like he wanted to say something, but finally frowned fiercely and died like that.
"Who!" Dai Er jumped onto the cart with a backflip and looked at the direction where the arrows were coming from. A man in black robes was running wildly in the deep grass on the side of the road.
"Chase!" Chen Yuan said and walked away.
