Before these people could react, sharp sounds of breaking through the air came from all directions, scaring everyone into hiding behind the carriage.
"Master, please go and save Xin Bo quickly, he doesn't know martial arts." Seeing this, the girl in white, who was pushed down by Jiang Lin under the carriage, turned pale and begged Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin turned over and jumped onto another carriage. He reached out and pulled an old man out and stuffed it under the carriage. Several arrows missed him. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have been dead by now. .
Seeing this, the hunchbacked dwarf next to him smashed his fist on the sand and cursed secretly. Is the person who shoots the arrow blind? He can't shoot accurately.
Jiang Lin didn't notice the bastard and quickly hid behind a carriage, breathing a sigh of relief.
Under the hail of arrows, everyone in the convoy did not move at all. Except for the damage to the carriage, there was no other damage.
At this time, the sound of running water attracted everyone's attention.
Oops!
Many people realized that the arrows fired by the people behind the scenes were fake, but the destruction of their water tankers was the real thing.
But no one dares to go out. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If you go out, you will be a target.
Jiang Lin had an idea. He grabbed the sand on both sides and sprinkled it on the bonfire not far away, immediately extinguishing the two bonfires.
"Extinguishing!"
Following Jiang Lin's actions, others also understood his thoughts and started to extinguish all the nearby bonfires, and the entire desert suddenly fell into darkness.
When Jiang Lin saw this, he looked like a ghost and slowly moved towards the distance without making a sound. In other people's eyes, he could not see his fingers, but in Jiang Lin's view, he could see all the surrounding environment, including many figures. Walk around a short distance away.
ah! ! !
The shrill shouts resounded throughout the desert, followed by curses and shouts one after another, but after just a few breaths, there was no movement.
"Brother Kong, take a few people over to take a look." The girl in white said to the man beside her.
The bearded man struggled for a moment, but he gritted his teeth and stood up, beckoning a few people to come over slowly.
When the others saw this, they didn't just stand there and were ready to do something.
While waiting for the bearded man to lead the people over, they found that there were only a few corpses scattered on the ground and arrows scattered on the ground.
"Why is this happening?" The bearded man frowned, not knowing what was happening here.
Just when he was confused, a joking voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Wouldn't you know it if you just asked them?"
The sound frightened him and he trembled all over. He took two steps back. He was relieved when he saw that it was Jiang Lin. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill these people?"
The people who died were the same group of people who fought with them yesterday. The bearded man naturally knew how good these people were. In just a short time, he actually killed them all, and it seemed that they were all killed in one blow, without any delay.
Jiang Lin shrugged: "If you didn't take action, I should have killed him. It was too dark to see clearly. Fortunately, you came here slowly, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
The bearded man took a deep look at Jiang Lin, and his eyes changed obviously, but more of them were still cautious.
Everyone in the convoy spent the entire night cautiously, fearing that the enemy was still hiding in the dark.
When the sky dawned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to count their losses.
As they expected, the sneak attack at night was not for killing people, but for their water source. Several buckets on a carriage were shot through, and a lot of water leaked. Although it was later blocked, the damage was also great.
The biggest headache for them was that all the animals pulling the cart were shot to death. Even if their manpower was not reduced, the lack of livestock would make them move very slowly.
The old man stood chatting with several people, looking solemn, while Jiang Lin was in a daze on the side, with a complicated look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Of course, no one noticed that a pile of sand not far away seemed to be controlled by someone, constantly changing into various shapes.
"Sir."
This shout directly restored the pile of sand to its original state. Jiang Lin came back to his senses and looked at the girl in white walking towards him, and asked: "Is something wrong?"
"Xin Bo and others discussed it. We didn't lose much water last night. If we save a little, we should be able to sustain it until the next stop. Xin Bo asked me to ask and see what the master wants."
Jiang Lin didn't have any objections. He just said that he would just follow the arrangements. Seeing Jiang Lin's face looking tired, the girl in white said: "Thanks to the master's intervention last night, we didn't suffer any more damage. We have already arranged to take turns pulling the cart." , Young Master didn’t get a good rest last night, so go to the carriage to rest first.”
"I don't have to. Some of your companions are seriously injured. Let them rest." Jiang Lin didn't like being alone with many strangers, so he found a reason to turn it down.
The girl in white didn't insist. She glanced at Jiang Lin gratefully and left.
After some preparations, everyone continued on the road, but without the livestock to pull them, the speed was obviously much slower.
On one of the carriages, a girl in white and an old man were sitting there, looking a little solemn. The old man couldn't help but ask: "Miss, we can ensure that we are safe if we go back, but if we continue to go forward, we may be in danger."
"Danger?" The girl in white sneered, with a stern expression. She said, "You also saw the crossbow last night. It is an indisputable fact that it came from the Iron Eagle Army. There is still a glimmer of hope if we go forward, but there is only a dead end if we go back."
"Miss, do you think Tie Ying will attack us?" The old man obviously didn't believe it.
"Even if he can't, it's hard to say for his men. In the face of such a huge benefit, people's hearts will change." The girl in white looked at him, not having any other meaning.
Jiang Lin followed slowly. After what happened last night, many people obviously respected Jiang Lin a lot. Some people even took the initiative to come over and get close to Jiang Lin to show their friendship.
This road was not peaceful. People hiding in the dark harassed the convoy from time to time. Their goal was also very clear, which was to cut off the water supply. After all, in this desert, cutting off the water supply was almost equal to death.
During this period, Jiang Lin made another move. He buried his body in the sand to deceive the people behind him. When those people caught up on horseback and were about to fire arrows, Jiang Lin jumped up and killed the two of them with thunderous force, frightening them. The remaining people fled wildly.
This move obviously attracted Jiang Lin's attention. With these two horses, the team moved forward much faster.
Dozens of miles away, a group of people gathered together on horseback. Listening to what their subordinates were telling them, the leader couldn't help but cursed: "Asshole! Two high-ranking masters from the Captain's Mansion were actually killed by a twenty-year-old man. Killing a child of his own age is like killing a dog. It seems that when I go back, I will report to the head of the family the true strength of your Duwei Mansion."
After venting his anger, he turned around and asked the person behind him: "Is there any news from the Iron Eagle Army?"
"Reporting to your lord, Xu Dutong said that he is mobilizing manpower. Just let us hold him back."
"Hmph! It seems that it's better to rely on yourself than to ask for help. The bastard named Xu still wants to take advantage of me and live out his dream!" The man spat angrily.
"Sir, what should we do?" Another person next to him asked cautiously.
"Chase! Slow them down and buy Mr. Song time."
…………
Two days later, Jiang Lin and his team's convoy had traveled hundreds of miles, and the next water supply place was right in front of them.
Although there were several sneak attacks in the past two days, the problems were not major. Both sides suffered casualties. The other side's intention was just to slow down their progress and destroy the water-filled carriage.
Everyone's tense mood relaxed a lot. After all, after arriving at the water supply area, they could replenish their physical strength. The water they drank in the past two days was distributed according to the amount. Walking more than a hundred miles a day in the scorching heat was very harmful to the body. The consumption was huge, and this little water was obviously just enough to survive.
"Brother Jiang, I'll treat you to a drink when we get there later." Big Beard and Jiang Lin walked side by side, their tone and expression changed from respect to admiration. The young boy in front of him actually had special skills, so Big Beard took the initiative Show kindness.
Jiang Lin smiled and nodded. Jiang Lin still had a good impression of this silly big man. He was less scheming and valued friendship. He said to the bearded man, "What is the identity of Miss Wang next to Xin Bo."
The bearded man smiled meaningfully at Jiang Lin, and then said: "What? Brother Jiang, are you interested? When we get to the South Vietnam Kingdom, I can help you with matchmaking. Then you can just treat me to a wedding drink."
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not as nasty as you think. I just think this Miss Wang is different from ordinary maids."
The bearded man glanced at the carriage behind him, then patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and said, "Of course it's not just an ordinary chamberlain. To be able to serve Xin Bo, his status is not that of an ordinary person. But I don't know much, maybe it's The younger generation in the collateral family, a smart person who knows how to read words and emotions."
He patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder: "I have performed very well with Miss Wang all the way. I have not made any mistakes. As the saying goes, beauties match heroes. I will tell Xin Bo when I get back. With Brother Jiang's martial arts, Xin Bo I will definitely betroth Miss Wang to you."
