The four horse bandits knew something was wrong. The young man carrying the sword in front of them was so powerful that they never expected that they would encounter such a tough opponent!
They also came with a mission. Now that they have obtained the secret volume, they have to find a way to escape. In order to survive, the bandit boss directly pushed all his brothers in front of Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian was blocked from sight. He had to take action quickly, killing everyone with one sword.
The horse bandit boss's lightness skills were also amazing. In such a short time, he had already flown ten miles away.
Just when the horse bandit boss was complacent and thought he had succeeded in escaping, a baby-faced woman suddenly appeared in front of him. She waved to him with a smile, and then kicked the horse bandit boss back.
This kick was not light, and the horse bandit boss vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. All his ribs should have been broken by the kick. Gu Xiaotian directly stepped on the horse bandit boss and put the sword against his neck. He asked sharply: "Tell me, who sent you here and what is the purpose."
The leader of the horse bandit looked ashen, knowing that he could not escape, so he hurriedly said: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life, no one sent me here, we just make a living by robbing."
This is obviously because the bandit boss is unwilling to tell who is behind him. If you really make a living by robbing, you only robbed a secret volume?
How much would this secret volume be worth if sold?
Gu Xiaotian stepped down a little harder with his foot, causing the horse bandit boss to scream in pain.
"You're not telling the truth."
The horse bandit boss was breathing heavily, and his tears were painful, but he still said the same thing, "Hero, spare your life! Every word is true!"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head. He didn't expect this man to be so tight-lipped. He asked if he couldn't get anything out of the question. Without any further hesitation, he raised his sword and put it down. The eyes of the horse bandit boss slowly dimmed.
Looking back at the only young man left over there, who was holding a long gun in his hand, he suddenly became nervous when he saw Gu Xiaotian turning his head.
Gu Xiaotian took the initiative and said, "One of my own."
The young man obviously didn't believe it, and his hand holding the gun became tighter.
Gu Xiaotian was not in a hurry. The young man was probably frightened and could only stop where he was and said calmly: "If I were an enemy, how long do you think it would take for me to kill you?"
Judging from the few moments Gu Xiaotian showed just now, killing this young man was probably just a thought.
He has no room to resist at all, and his head will fall to the ground.
The young man had no choice but to believe it, picked up the body of his companion, lowered his head slightly, and said calmly: "Thank you."
Gu Xiaotian stepped forward, returned the secret scroll to the young man, and said with a smile: "I'm still on the road at night, this thing should be quite important."
Looking at the secret scroll in front of him, the young man suddenly burst into tears for some unknown reason. He knelt down on one knee, bowed his hands and said, "I can't repay you for saving my life!"
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "It's okay, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
"My benefactor, please speak."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Are you from the border area?"
The young man nodded and said: "Wang Yuan of the Frontier Sharpshooter Sect, under the order of the master sect, went to pick up the secret scroll. But I never thought that I would encounter these bandits on the way. My senior brother has been poisoned, so I have to hurry up. go back."
Gu Xiaotian has already lit the fire. The young man's body is already in tatters, but these horse bandits are extremely rich, with water and meat. They just brought it all over and used it. Sitting in front of the fire, Gu Xiaotian grilled the meat and asked, "Since we are picking up secret scrolls, why don't you send more people? It's not peaceful here."
Hearing this, Wang Yuan was a little embarrassed to say it. After all, this was a matter on the frontier. But although the young man in front of him saved his life, what if he was a smiling tiger and didn't leak the information on the frontier?
For a moment, Wang Yuan was a little undecided. He was just a soldier and couldn't make the decision.
Qu Xiaohan saw Wang Yuan's worry and directly took out the alliance leader's badge and handed it to Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan looked at the alliance leader's belt, quickly knelt down and bowed: "I have met the alliance leader of Hanchun City!"
Qu Xiaohanxu helped Wang Yuan up and asked: "Now
Can we say it? "
Wang Yuan thought for a while and sighed: "The leader of the Li Alliance is seriously injured, and there are constant fighting on the border. We really can't spare any manpower, otherwise the situation wouldn't be like this."
In front of the fire, Wang Yuan basically told everything he knew.
The current war situation in the border area is tense. Even for matters such as receiving secret documents, it is difficult to mobilize manpower. You must know that one person is a fighting force. Now that the entire Wanlisha has been defeated, the current situation is that no one is available.
Only the Shenqianmen stood in front, and they also asked for a wave of support from Wudu, but this wave of support probably only played a consoling role and did not help much in changing the situation of the battle.
As for the people sent by the other three alliances to support them, all of them have been killed in the battle. Now only the entire sect of the Shenqianmen is struggling to support them.
After roasting the meat, Gu Xiaotian gave some to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan took it carefully, stopped after a few bites, and stood up to leave.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Are you so anxious?"
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I'm very anxious. This secret volume is a reassurance. Even if it's a comfort, I have to send it back first."
In fact, Wang Yuan wanted Gu Xiaotian to go with him, but he was really embarrassed to open his mouth. Although there was an alliance leader in front of him, he had also heard about the alliance leader in Hanchun City, that is, a hands-off shopkeeper.
In addition, Gu Xiaotian had just saved his life. Although he was a soldier, he was not a fool. He also knew that the frontier could not last long. No matter how strong this group of people was, the effect they could achieve in the past was only a drop in the bucket.
A person should know how to be grateful. He really doesn't want his benefactor to die in vain.
Without saying anything more, Wang Yuan put away the secret scroll, carried his senior brother's body on his back, and left in the night.
In front of the fire, everyone was silent for a long time.
Gu Xiaotian took the initiative and asked: "Borderland, do you still want to go?"
This time, he was a little undecided.
He knew that his strength was limited to this, and it would not have played any role in the past. If he were alone, he would go there resolutely, but now he has a bunch of companions traveling with him, and he cannot make such a decision.
Duan Peng gave a rare laugh, "It doesn't matter whether you go or not, just ask your own heart."
Qu Xiaohan also consoled him: "Don't be so stressed. Things haven't been settled yet. Who said that the frontier will definitely be defeated?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded and said nothing more. Several people stayed beside the fire in the wild.
The fire gradually extinguished. Gu Xiaotian actually did not fall asleep. He had been thinking with his eyes closed. Finally, he finally gave the answer.
"go!"
.......
After sleeping outdoors for a day, a few people didn't sleep too much. After all, in this barren mountainous place, one should still be cautious.
After taking a short rest, the group continued walking towards the border.
For several days, the journey went relatively smoothly, and I also inquired about the situation on the border from various innkeepers along the way.
These bosses are ordinary people, and the situation in the border areas is what they talk about after dinner, and their opinions are varied.
Some people say that Frontier will definitely win, and are now organizing a counterattack.
Some people say that Frontier is in danger this time, and he may just pack up and run away.
But there is only one core that remains unchanged, and that is that the situation on the border is really bad now.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the green plants on the roadside are gradually becoming sparse. Gu Xiaotian knows that this is already close to the border.
Just at this moment, Gu Xiaotian saw several figures in front of him.
After taking a careful look, Gu Xiaotian secretly said, "Oh no, the person surrounded is actually Wang Yuan!"
At this time, Wang Yuan was holding a spear, looking very embarrassed. He never thought that he was about to return to the border, but he met another wave of people at the border.
This time, the sky and the sky are really not responding, and the earth and the earth are not functioning properly.
Wang Yuan's face was ashen, but the person opposite him remained unyielding and swung his knife randomly at Wang Yuan's body, but the knife avoided his vital points and was left behind.
Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Gu Xiaotian drew out his long sword and moved forward quickly.
This group of people was stronger than the four horse bandits, but they were still like ants in front of Gu Xiaotian.
Wang Yuan's eyes shone, he never expected that he would be rescued for the second time in his life.
The group of people on the opposite side were quickly defeated. Gu Xiaotian showed no mercy at all, and his swords were clean and sharp, leaving no way to survive.
In just a few moments, the opponent's people were killed.
Wang Yuanqiang stood up and was about to speak when he suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed, then vomited a large pool of blood.
Gu Xiaotian quickly supported Wang Yuan and asked Qu Xiaohan to come up and check the injury.
Qu Xiaohan checked it a little and shook his head.
"All the meridians have been cut off. Now I am hanging with only one breath left. I won't live long."
Hearing that he was about to die, Wang Yuan was not disappointed, but laughed. Maybe he had already expected his fate, and would die on the battlefield no matter what, but if he died like this now, he would Relieved.
At least he met a few benefactors before he died.
Wang Yuan took out the secret scroll from his pocket, handed it to Gu Xiaotian, and said softly: "Bring this secret scroll to the leader. Don't bury me after I die. I was born on the border and will die on the border. I finally have a home.”
Gu Xiaotian took the secret scroll and nodded firmly.
Wang Yuan said calmly: "My benefactor, leave as soon as you finish handing in the secret document. I really don't want to see you under the underworld in the near future."
Gu Xiaotian shook his eyebrows, suppressed the somewhat sad atmosphere, and joked: "Are you cursing me to death?"
Wang Yuan realized that he had said the wrong thing and used his last strength to shake his head repeatedly, "Don't dare."
While Wang Yuan still had his last breath, Gu Xiaotian carried Wang Yuan on his back and moved forward a little further. Finally, he found a big tree, and he placed Wang Yuan under the tree. Wang Yuan's face had no color at this time. , forcing himself not to fall asleep, and said to Gu Xiaotian: "Benefactor, please get on your way quickly, the secret book cannot be delayed."
Gu Xiaotian is no longer in the mother-in-law. In fact, he and Wang Yuan are just acquaintances, not a deep friendship, but Wang Yuan's belief touches Gu Xiaotian.
After Gu Xiaotian left with the secret scroll and walked towards the border.
Wang Yuan, who was under the big tree, smiled with relief for the last time and slowly closed his heavy eyes.
