The army set out in a mighty manner, thousands of baggage were transported from Shoushi, and the lights were like a long dragon, lighting up the entire ancient road.
The scouts who saw the fire from a distance turned around in panic. The troops behind them were stunned when they heard about it. Lin Zongqi asked Li Xiao how to deal with it, and Li Xiao was also confused.
"It's actually them." Someone on the mountain said softly.
Shen Lie stood on the edge of the cliff without saying a word. The wind came down from the cliff and blew his clothes away, hiding him in the darkness.
"Now we have something good to watch." Du Xuan said from the side.
This ancient road has not been visited for a long time. There is only one way. Either continue forward and meet Jiang Pingsheng's people, or turn around and retreat and find a place to hide.
There was not much time for Li Xiao to think about it. He reined in his horse and went over there to whisper with Mr. Cai He. Then he saw the army under the cliff taking action.
But to Shen Lie's surprise, these people did not move forward or retreat, but unhooked the horses from the carts that were hauling the baggage. All the horses that could be taken away were unhooked.
Du Xuan raised his eyebrows: "This is..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw these people quickly gathering, then riding horses and running towards the rugged mountain road on the other side.
"I don't want it anymore!" Zhang Meng exclaimed.
"This chest is quite big." Feng Ze said in a low voice.
As they left, the light here gradually dimmed, and the baggage on the road was scattered like that. The cold wind whistled, blowing the oilcloth above to protect the rain, and there were strange sounds in the night.
"They left," Du Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Lie, "Master, you gave this to us for free."
"Where should we go now? Go directly to Peifeng, or wait for Minister Jiang to come over?" Feng Ze asked.
"Let's go get the seal first," Shen Lie said, withdrew his gaze and went to lead the horse, "There are too many people and it will be very annoying."
"Yeah!" Several subordinates nodded.
The road down the mountain was not as easy as the one up the mountain, not to mention each holding their own horses. In the end, they had to walk around a flatter slope.
After crossing several difficult mountain ridges, we went from the high slope on one side to the mountain on the other side. There was a valley below. Due to the heavy rain for days, the water level in the valley was high. However, there seemed to be an embedded cave on the mountain wall below. There was a faint light coming from the cave.
"There is someone here?!" Du Xuan said in shock.
Shen Lie also found it incredible. The sky was too dark, and the firelight became more obvious.
"Master, there is a carriage!" Feng Ze shouted, "It's still a two-horse carriage!"
But only the carriage was left, and the horses tied in front had been untied.
"That's weird!" Du Xuan looked at Shen Lie, "Master, do you want to go take a look?"
"Are you very free?" Shen Lie asked coldly, holding the horse in his hand and walking towards the long slope on the other side.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a scream coming from the cave. It was very shrill, followed by a group of people screaming for mercy. The sound was diluted by the sound of the river in the valley.
Shen Lie frowned, looked over and said angrily: "Let's go and have a look!"
Liu Teng sat back on the soft blanket and covered his ears with his hands. He was really bored.
The tall man raised his foot and kicked the body off the bench.
The corpse without a cranium had its eyes wide open and rolled to the side of the fresh corpse.
Several big men were responsible for carefully handling the freshly baked "medicine", and the tall man walked towards the refugees on the other side with a knife.
The refugees were skinny and naked. Their clothes were torn off and used to bind their hands and feet. Some people had balls of cloth stuffed in their mouths. Those who were not stuffed with cloth because there was not enough cloth were the tall man.
The target to choose.
As the man approached, those people shrank back inside, looking at him in horror.
The man didn't even have to pick one, he just grabbed one and took it to the bench over there.
The arrested people screamed and moved around, crying and begging loudly for mercy.
"Be honest and I'll give you a good time, or watch how I kill you!" the man cursed angrily and pulled him over.
"It's so noisy!" Liu Teng shouted impatiently, "Hurry up!"
The refugee was forced onto a bench, and others tied his body with cloth strips.
The refugees screamed loudly and endured the strange feeling of having their hair shaved off.
After shaving, you should prepare the medicine according to the prescription and apply it on the head for half a stick of incense, and then you can take the "medicine".
Because this man was too noisy, the man randomly found a ball of cloth that he had used before and stuffed it into his mouth.
But this man was really strong, and he struggled on the bench, making the bench "squelch". The horses tied on the other side of the cave were a little restless because of this, stepping on their hooves and thrashing.
ponytail.
The double carriage was leaning against the cave wall. Du Xuan went up to touch it and whispered: "Master, the paint has not faded yet! The material of the curtain is also very good, and the smell inside is quite strange."
Shen Lie leaned outside the door of the cave, frowning slightly. Listening to the movement inside, it was difficult to judge how many people there were, but what was certain was that the number of people should not be exaggerated.
At this time, a voice came from inside: "It's almost done, let's do it! It's so noisy!"
What this "hands on" means is really obvious.
Another man responded, then wiped the refugee's head with a dry cloth and was about to chop it off with a knife when a stone as big as a fist came from outside the cave and hit the blade with a clang.
The sudden force almost made the man unable to hold the knife in his hand.
He looked up hastily and saw several figures rushing towards him from outside. The young man in the lead was tall and slender. Before he could see his face clearly, he had already rushed in front of him.
The man hurriedly raised his knife to chop, but within two moves, the opponent had neatly taken the big knife away from his hand, followed by a quick move of Dongxue Jingmei, and the man felt a chill in his throat, followed by
All that was left was a strong sense of suffocation.
The speed was so fast that by the time other people in the cave reacted, the man had already fallen.
Du Xuan ran to the refugees, while Feng Ze and Zhang Meng followed Shen Lie and raised their knives.
The young man was born so handsome, and his fair skin seemed to reflect light against the backdrop of the dark purple clothes.
"who!"
"who are you!"
The other big men raised their knives one after another.
Shen Lie withdrew his long sword, with a few drops of blood dripping from the sword's edge. The big men came at them with their swords, and he made a series of flowing sword flowers with his long sword, and he immediately came forward to meet them.
Normally during a martial arts competition, one would leave some leeway in one's hands, but today's heavy sword light did not hold back its edge at all, it was opened wide and a string of blood was sprayed out in the air.
Feng Ze and Zhang Meng, who were sent by Guo Shu as his followers, are naturally not bad at it. They are not trained by ordinary martial arts thugs or in the army. They are personal guards trained by the Guo family since they were young.
It was taught by a master from a famous school in the world.
