When he stood up, he quietly knocked on his father's back a few times, which meant "Be careful."
He Chunhua looked at the two of them and said nothing.
The restaurant owner also gave them directions: "There is a latrine behind, so don't look down after entering."
After the two of them left the restaurant, Shan You Juncai whispered: "Master, look at these horses, they are all good horses that are good at running."
He Lingchuan didn't pay attention at first. After all, Xinhuang is in short supply of cattle and horses today. Shan Youjun reminded him. He took a closer look and saw that these three horses were smooth and smooth, with long legs, willow ears, broad chests and thick muscles, and bright eyes.
There is God.
This is different from the horse pulling the cart.
One of them was digging the ground. Shan Youjun glanced at it and said: "These three are all war horses, and the horseshoes and shoes have just been repaired. I was a ranger in the north, so I can't be mistaken."
Those three merchants, each one has such a good horse?
Shan Youjun said hurriedly: "We have been traveling all the way north and have only seen a few groups of merchants? As soon as we arrived in Xinhuang, they happened to be here."
The central and northern parts of Xiazhou were in depression, and business travelers could not make money, so they did not take this route very often. He Lingchuan followed the grain transport team northward, and indeed there were not many caravans to be seen along the way, not even a few bulk caravans.
He took a breath and said, "I know, hang out for a while and then go back."
The two of them walked a few steps, and there was a light behind them. He Lingchuan looked back and saw one of the three merchants coming out. He covered his belly with one hand and said, "I want to go to the latrine too. Haven't you found it yet?"
He Lingchuan pointed to the back of the restaurant: "I can't find it. Didn't you say it's behind the noodle shop?"
"Follow me." The merchant said and went into the alley behind the restaurant.
It's already dark, and residents don't turn on the lights. There are dark alleys everywhere. There are low walls less than seven feet on both sides of this alley, but the trees are very tall, providing shade during the day. Needless to say, it blocks the light even more at night.
The wind was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and everything was dark and gloomy, like a ghost.
Something is bound to happen in a place like this at this time.
After turning two corners, He Lingchuan asked the merchant who was walking quickly: "How long will it take? Why is the latrine so far away?"
"Come on, it's just ahead."
"You seem to be very familiar with this area?" He Lingchuan stopped and smiled, "Do you often come here to squat?"
The merchant also turned around: "Are you going? I'm anxious."
He Lingchuan and Shan Youjun whispered something, but the merchants couldn't listen at all. He Lingchuan then spoke: "I don't think you are like businessmen. You may not even have those good horses in the army."
The merchant scratched his head: "I don't think you look like it either. How can there be any merchants heading north at this time?" Then his expression tightened and he shouted:
"Do it!"
He also lowered the hand that was scratching his head, but instead turned his wrist, and with a soft "whoosh" sound, the sleeve arrow shot from the secret box went straight to the door in front of He Lingchuan.
He had good eyesight and could tell that He Lingchuan had the higher status among the two.
There was no warning about this betrayal, and the dark alley was full of darkness. Who could have noticed this hidden arrow?
At the same time, a person jumped out from behind the low walls on both sides and rushed towards He Lingchuan, with Shan Youjun behind him.
From the beginning, they have been trying to trick people into getting slaughtered.
He Lingchuan was well prepared, he ducked sideways to avoid the hidden arrows, and the fragrant dumpling hidden in his left hand hit the ground one step ahead.
An indescribable stench instantly covered this narrow dark alley.
Coincidentally, the wind stopped at this time, and the smell was suddenly overwhelming.
He Lingchuan and Shan Youjun both held their breaths, but the three opponents were stunned by the sudden stink bomb. The merchant who had led He Lingchuan into the alley couldn't help bending over and retching, and the two people who had climbed over the wall had not yet stood firm.
Subconsciously cover your mouth and nose.
This is a natural physiological reaction.
Just now, He Lingchuan whispered to Shan Youjun, there were only two words:
Hold your breath!
The other party wants to trick them, so why don't they want to trick the other party?
The man who was retching had just bent over and knew something was wrong. He was about to hold his breath and draw the knife. He Lingchuan raised his wrist and also shot a hidden arrow to hurt him.
He only got the purple-gold sleeve arrow specially customized by Li Fubo the day before departure, so today is his first show.
Master Li's special equipment was not at the same level as the commercial equipment used by this man. As soon as he straightened up, he felt a chill and pain down there——
Explode the egg with one arrow!
He Lingchuan's hard training should have some results. Besides, how accurate can it be at such a short distance?
The merchant couldn't stand still. He immediately fell to the ground and rolled around, screaming heart-breakingly.
But He Lingchuan's viciousness doesn't stop there? There's a rope behind the sleeve arrow.
He just pulled it gently, and bang——
broken.
The man stopped screaming and immediately passed out.
The feeling of hurting people with hidden arrows was so good. The martial arts hall in Panlong City would not allow him to use such a destructive weapon. He Lingchuan exhaled and turned around to find his next opponent, who was following Dan Youjuntang.
Fighting enemies.
Not only did this man react very quickly, he immediately suppressed his discomfort with the stench and went into battle, he was also very brave, and he fought Shan Youjun head-on twice, sparks flying in the darkness.
He Lingchuan went up and kicked him. He saw the gap in his sword style and kicked this man directly in the ribs!
With the strength of his feet, even a copper cake would be kicked round, let alone a human body?
This man felt a pain in his ribs, his body went numb, his vision went dark, and he almost lost his breath.
Shan Youjun struck again and took the opportunity to chop off his head.
As soon as the last enemy rushed towards him with the splitting spear, He Lingchuan blocked it. When he saw that his two companions had fallen down, but his opponent was not injured at all, he stopped fighting and ran away.
Among the three of them, he was not the most powerful, but he was certainly the fastest. He rushed out two steps, supported the wall with one hand, crossed the courtyard, and turned into another alley.
He arrived in Xinhuang earlier than these two people and is more familiar with the terrain.
I took a moment to look behind me, and it seemed like no one was chasing me.
Hurry back and report the news, there's something thorny here. When the troops arrive, he's going to cut off these guys' heads and use them as balls to kick.
But just as he was about to run away, a sudden wind blew up behind his head, and a knife flew from the sky, piercing his heart directly.
It goes in from the back chest and comes out from the front heart, making a double penetration.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The man staggered forward two steps before falling to the ground and dying.
He was already in the alley, how could this big knife miss him? He looked in disbelief.
He Lingchuan recovered the purple-gold sleeve arrow first, and then followed and drew his sword.
This arrow was stained with dirt and could no longer be used for the time being. Shan Youjun, who was following behind, was also a little surprised. He had just seen his boss throw out the long knife, but the enemy had already climbed over the wall and left, and the knife was in mid-air.
He turned around and changed directions on his own to chase the person.
He had heard of arrows, flying knives or other magical weapons that could chase people, but he had never heard of long knives having such special effects.
He Lingchuan pulled out the sword from the back of the enemy who was still staring at death, wiped the blood off his clothes, and sheathed the sword.
Of course, the ability to stab a fleeing enemy through the chest comes from the characteristic of the Fusheng Sword: "One throw is sure to hit". He Lingchuan felt that this was much easier to use than archery.
"Go back." The enemy wouldn't even let the two of them go to the latrine, let alone He Chunhua.
However, He Lingchuan is not too worried. His father also has a lot of cultivation skills and a lot of protective weapons. It is not that easy for others to deal with him.
The two of them hurried back. As soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, there was a loud noise from the east and the fire lit up the entire Xinhuang!
This explosion was so powerful that the ground beneath everyone's feet shook violently.
He Lingchuan's face even changed color:
The restaurant where the county magistrate hosted a banquet for Mo Zhe Jingxuan seems to be in that direction!
In the noodle shop, He Chunhua and two merchants were chatting away, and both parties were a little absent-minded.
There was a sudden explosion, and the shopkeeper who happened to pick up the basin immediately spilled the water. He held on to the pillar to avoid falling.
He Chunhua, Mao Tao and Jiao Tai subconsciously turned their heads upon hearing the sound.
The two merchants then grabbed weapons and launched an attack.
However, they had just attacked three feet in front of He Chunhua when a thin light barrier suddenly appeared in front of them, with fine patterns on the surface, like snake skin.
Their attacks immediately became sluggish, as if they were stuck in mud.
This is He Chunhua's protective magical weapon that automatically takes effect.
Jiao Tai knew something was wrong as soon as he turned around, shouted "Dare you!" and rushed to protect the Lord.
He Chunhua threw forward the red silk thread wrapped in his hand, and it expanded into a snare in mid-air, wrapping an enemy in it.
Sun Fuping's magic weapon is always useful.
At this time, the windshield curtain suddenly lifted, and everyone was startled, but they saw He Lingchuan and two people rushing in, saying at the same time: "Three of them were dealt with outside!"
There was no suspense next. The five members of our party forced the other party to a duel and defeated him in minutes.
While Jiao Tai beat him half to death, He Chunhua had already lifted the net on the ground and said to the prisoner inside: "Tell me clearly, what's going on outside?"
The man laughed loudly: "Your commander is going to heaven! My brothers are here and I want to take you with them!"
He Chunhua and his son looked at each other, and then asked: "How do you know when the food transport team will pass by here?" The food transport team notified Xinhuang to prepare, only one day in advance. These rangers from Xunzhou were in Xiazhou
I was traveling everywhere in the north, the area was so vast, I shouldn't have gotten wind of it so quickly.
The man smiled grimly and didn't answer.
"He wants to buy time." He Lingchuan saw through his intention at a glance, "Let's go back to the camp!"
Jiao Tai wiped the prisoner's neck with a knife and ignored the trembling shop owner who was hugging the pillar. He Lingchuan did not forget to throw down more than a dozen copper coins as food money. The five people ran out of the restaurant and untied the three Xunzhou spies.
Flying on horseback.
…
Five people and three horses ran forward less than a hundred feet when they heard the sound of hoofbeats:
There is a team coming from the south. From the sound of it, there are at least two to three hundred riders!
"Drive!" He Chunhua's face changed color and he urged his horse to run quickly.
The horse turned out of the main street and headed straight for the grain transport team's camp. He Lingchuan turned around and saw a swarm of cavalry behind him.
These people pulled apart their coats and cloaks to reveal the military uniforms underneath. Even if He Lingchuan had never seen that style, he could be sure that the person coming was the Xunzhou Ranger.
Apparently these guys have been lurking outside Xinhuang for a long time, and when there is an explosion in the town, they rush in to kill people and steal food!
