Central Plains·Wuzhen Waiguan Road
"No matter, let's act according to the opportunity." After saying that, Yun Musheng lit a fire and released a sky monkey, ordering twenty checkpoints to prepare for battle.
The vibrations on the land are getting more and more violent, and people can be vaguely seen in the distance. Horses are not the fastest on this land. To slow down the speed of that kind of bandit, you must first work on the horses.
The group of people escaped into the forest nearby and visually inspected the bandits who were coming. There were probably more than three hundred people. And through the perception of internal strength, the leading few were different from the third-rate people behind them, especially the last ones. The bearded man in front can be considered a second-rate expert.
This number is several times more than what Yun Musheng encountered in that inn. It seems that if this trip fails to delay the return of Lord Wan, Wuzhen will undoubtedly face a disaster.
Bandits with knives and bounty hunters rode tall horses and passed by the twentieth checkpoint. They heard a shout from the forest: "Pull!"
Several thick hemp ropes suddenly appeared in the soil on the official road, and all of them were wearing sharp blades. Some of the horses that were galloping along had their legs and feet suddenly cut off, and some were stabbed in the vital parts by sharp weapons when they fell, and they could no longer stand. straight.
The thieves at the back of the team saw that a group of horses in front were intercepted, and they tightened their reins and restrained the horses to avoid further losses. Unexpectedly, Yun Musheng had been prepared, and long strips were sharpened in the forest. The bamboo poles shot out and knocked the horses of the rear cavalry to the ground.
The group of thieves got up dejectedly and started shouting and cursing. Yun Musheng ignored them and just led the others towards the bayonet at the back.
Without the horses and being hit again, the bandit's journey would naturally be much slower. Then the next nineteenth card will kill most of the time.
After waiting for a while, a group of bandits who came on foot gradually arrived, but there were only a few messengers waiting here in the surrounding forest, because the layout of this place was very simple, but it was specially prepared for them who had just lost their horses.
From a distance, you can see that for hundreds of meters, there are iron nails bought from the carpenters in the town. They are hidden in the weeds. Whether you are careful to avoid them when passing by or clean them up, it takes a lot of time. .
Seeing that this was an interception and a signal sent to the sky, the leading bearded man must have guessed that someone was deliberately tampering with this official road. He immediately prepared to order everyone to escape into the forest and take a detour. Anyway, without the horses, walking through the woods or official roads would be on foot, so it wouldn't take long.
Suddenly, there were several screams in the forest. The first few people who entered the forest felt a heartbreaking pain under their feet. When they raised their feet, they realized that a long nail had penetrated their feet. It turned out that in the overgrown forest beside the official road, Yun Musheng had already been covered with iron nails, waiting for these barbarians to be fooled.
Seeing that the forest was also full of dangers, the group turned back to the official road. The bearded leader immediately scolded his mother: "Damn it, if I know who did it, I have to poke him with ten thousand transparent holes!"
"Second Master Beard, please calm down. Although this means of blocking the road is dirty, it is of no use to you who has already understood the third level of Gale Palm." The rat-eyed boy on the side said flatteringly beside the bearded man.
Unexpectedly, he received a severe slap from the bearded man.
"Idiot, there is still nearly twenty miles of road from here to Wuzhen. If I have to spend time clearing obstacles along the way, how will I have the energy to have fun when I get to Wuzhen?!"
"Oh, yes, yes, you are stupid, you have realized your mistake, come on, someone, come on, quickly, get rid of this nail!"
Just like this, we swept all the way forward, and even the people in front of us started to count on their backs. It was about half an hour before the nineteen-card Sky Monkey sounded.
Then come the eighteenth, seventeenth, and sixteenth cards. . . By the twelfth card, the time had already reached noon, and the bandits gradually began to feel tired and impatient. It happened that the twelfth card was a huge boulder, blocking the way.
"Why haven't you recovered yet? That group is almost here!" Ma Qingfeng shouted angrily at several men in the town.
"No matter how hard it was, the hot oil couldn't be carried on the horse's back. People were sent to deliver it bucket by bucket from the town for more than ten miles. The last batch
Someone had already gone back to get the stick of incense, but it hadn't arrived yet. "
It is said that misfortunes never come singly. As soon as these words were spoken, the Sky-Sky Monkey in the twelfth card jumped into the sky.
"So fast?! I remember that rolling stone was bigger than the gate of Wuzhen!"
Before the time of a stick of incense, the bearded leader saw that the boulder could no longer bear it, and blew it away with a strong wind.
, the boulder was instantly shattered, and the bandit team easily passed the twelfth card.
Just when Yun Musheng and Ma Qingfeng were at a loss what to do, the sound of hoofbeats from two horses was heard from behind. When they heard the sound, they turned around and saw that it was Qiu Mingming riding a horse and another horse carrying a large wooden box.
Yun Musheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Didn't I ask you to stay in the town with Xiao Lingluo? Why did you come here?"
Qiu Mingming showed a trace of displeasure on his face after hearing this.
"Why are you so cruel? Just now I saw the oil collector returning, and I knew at a glance that you would be too late, so I wanted to take the piano I got from the vocal music studio to see if I could hold off those thieves for a while."
"No, it's too dangerous!" Yun Musheng's attitude was still extremely firm. With more than three hundred thieves and masters hiding among them, how could he safely let Qiu Mingming go alone.
Unexpectedly, Ma Qingfeng patted Yun Musheng and said, "Little brother, Miss Qiu is actually right. If we just let the thieves pass this eleventh card, they will definitely not be able to wait until the adult appears." Oh, and besides, with you and me hiding around to protect each other, if things go wrong, at least we can escape."
"Escape? Brother Ma's awareness is not as good as yours, little Lingluo. She is determined to protect the people of Wuzhen, right, Xiaolingluo?"
Ma Qingfeng was startled and looked behind Qiu Mingming following her words. Xiao Lingluo poked her head out from behind and smiled sheepishly.
Ma Qingfeng had a wry smile on his face. He was about to say something, but when he remembered what he had just said to Yun Musheng, he took it back.
Yun Musheng said nothing, just watching Qiu Mingming take out the guqin from the wooden box and walk out of the forest. As she passed by, Yun Musheng grabbed her wrist and said, "If something goes wrong, just play the fourth note of Shang Yu and Zheng Yu, and I will come out to rescue you right away."
Qiu Mingming smiled and nodded, then sat down on a gravel road with his guqin in his arms. This was a corner, and there happened to be a pavilion in the corner. Qiu Mingming placed the guqin in the center of the pavilion, with Xiao Ling on the side. Luo Duan sat.
As soon as it was done, the gang of thieves had already arrived. When the melodious sound of the guqin came to mind, even the gang of thieves stopped.
When these thieves saw the woman in red playing the piano, they swept away their complaints and displeasure and became excited instead.
"Hey, Second Master Huzi is her. Early this morning, my three dog brothers died under her escort. Brother, please be careful."
The bearded man didn't want to pay attention to what the entourage said. He just stared at Qiu Mingming who was playing the piano in a trance along with the music. His yellow tongue kept licking his chapped lips.
"Hehe, I just like such a strong woman. When her song ends, you can watch how I conquer her."
When he said these words, Yun Musheng, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the obscene expression of the bearded man carefully. His right hand was firmly holding the sword, as if he was about to jump out and attack Huanglong at any time.
As the melodious music came to an end, Qiu Mingming gradually became anxious. Then he remembered Yun Musheng's words just now and played the four notes of Shang, Yu, Zheng and Yu in sequence.
Just as Yun Musheng was about to take action, the men transporting oil arrived.
When the bearded leader heard that the music was no longer playing, he stood up and walked towards Qiu Mingming, with an ugly and lewd smile on his face.
Just when he was about to lead everyone into the pavilion, several cans of rollers were suddenly thrown at the crowd in the forest. The bearded man then slashed forward with his knife, and a stream of hot oil poured all over the entourage behind him.
"Today I will return you from ashes to ashes, and from dust to dust!"
Yun Musheng muttered like this, but after a while, no one ignited the hot oil.
"It rained heavily yesterday, so the Sky Monkey just fell to the ground and got wet!"
