There are many passes along the narrow path, and the villages are like a chess grid, but most of them have been abandoned, the walls of the villages have collapsed, and only the stone tablets remain.
Xie Zhou stared at it intently, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "This should be Taihang Pass among the eight passes of Taihang. From here, go northwest to Tianjing Pass, and go to southeast to reach Hulao Pass!"
Tianjing Pass is a dangerous pass, and Hulao Pass is a powerful pass. They are both important passes in the Central Plains. Although the heartland is now stable, it was once a place of continuous war. You can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the remaining villages.
Xie Zhou was very moved by the abandoned roof tiles in the distance and had many things to say.
But Tie Zhenshan and Song Huiyue were both here, and there was Yin Xiao as a thug. None of the three of them were as spoiled by him as King Jin, so they quietly controlled their mouths and stopped talking nonsense.
He just sighed: "Master Tie, your spear should have been used in a place like this, where it would be powerful and majestic."
Tie Zhenshan rolled her eyes: "It sounds like I am an ancestral river thief. Is it because I am willing to do it? Just like if I don't sleep with the prince, is it because I don't want to sleep? I have to tell you about everything.
I wish?"
Xie Zhou hurriedly went to see Song Huiyue, and saw that Song Huiyue was smiling and not shy at all. He felt ashamed of these two young ladies and changed his words: "It's been so long, why haven't you heard the whistle? Could it be?
Have we gone too far?"
When he mentioned it, the other three people remembered that they really had not heard any news from King Jin.
Just when Xie Zhou was about to ask if he wanted to go down the mountain, he suddenly saw Yin Xiao move and jump forward. This time he had experience and quickly stepped aside several steps.
Turning around, they saw a strong man emerging from where they had just walked.
Although this man was strong, his footsteps were very light. He stepped lightly on the fallen leaves without letting Yin Xiao hear the movement. At this time, without saying a word, he held two swords and looked fiercely at Yin Xiao.
Come and kill.
Yin Xiao shrunk in size under this mighty assassin, but his movements were not slow at all, even faster than the strong man. He held the strong man's right hand with one hand and restrained his left hand with the other.
At the same time, he lifted his knees sharply and hit the opponent's crotch hard.
The opponent's posture stopped, his face instantly distorted, and he let out a scream of unknown meaning.
Yin Xiao took advantage of the situation and let go. Without using a knife, he made a fist with his right hand, hit the strong man's chest, and pressed down hard. This time everyone heard the sound of bones breaking.
Blood gushed out from the mouth of the strong man, and then he fell to the ground without a word, breathless.
It was Yin Xiao who broke the strong man's ribs, and then used the ribs as a blade to pierce the strong man's heart.
All his killing moves seem to be without thinking, neat and clean, deep in the mind and never forgotten. Once in danger, they will appear immediately.
After Yin Xiao finished dealing with this person, he walked back to Song Huiyue.
When passing by Xie Zhou, Xie Zhou subconsciously covered the lower part of his abdomen, and decided to control his mouth tightly, never giving Yin Xiao a chance to do anything, so as to avoid a fight.
He looked at Song Huiyue: "Sister Yue, it seems that things have changed. Should we go back to find the prince or continue walking? You decide. I will listen to you."
He didn't dare to disobey, King Jin was away, and he was afraid that if Sister Yue couldn't control Yin Xiao, Yin Xiao would beat him.
Song Huiyue thought for a while: "Keep walking, so that the prince can deal with a few of them."
If unfortunately someone kills him, there is nothing he can do about it.
Killing or being killed, you can only choose one or the other.
Tie Zhenshan has no objection to this - she is more aware of current affairs than Xie Zhou. She thinks that without the King of Jin, Song Huiyue has no restraints, like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, and there are murder weapons around her, so she still
It's better to be honest.
This time, the four of them did not bump into each other like headless flies, but headed directly towards Taihangxing.
There are high mountains and deep cliffs on both sides of the road, crisscrossing ravines, hard gravel on the narrow path, and towering ancient cypresses on both sides. Tie Zhenshan killed another assassin who caught up with her here, and everything has been peaceful since then.
Just when Song Huiyue was about to find a big stick to light a fire and return the same way, a gust of wind suddenly picked up, blowing the mountains and forests on both sides like waves. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the bright moon that had just appeared.
Everything in front of the four people went dark, and the sky suddenly changed.
Xingzhong is already narrow and deep, and the wind is caught in it, making a permeating whimpering sound.
Xie Zhou shouted to Song Huiyue in the wind: "It's going to rain! Find a place to hide from the rain!"
Song Huiyue nodded and pointed forward: "Go to that village!"
The stockade she pointed to was still in good condition, with its four walls standing and not collapsed, and its door not too dilapidated. It could withstand tigers and wolves.
The four of them walked forward against the strong wind, with Yin Xiao walking in the front, Song Huiyue behind him, Xie Zhou behind Song Huiyue, and Tie Zhenshan behind Xie Zhou, and they arrived in a row in front of the village gate.
The stone steps were covered with gravel, more than the road, and there was almost no place to step on. The door was ajar, letting the wind rattle.
Stepping on the sharp gravel and walking in, there is a large courtyard inside, with weeds reaching the knees and two weapon racks upside down. It looks like a martial arts field. Walking further inside, you can't tell what it is.
The room is empty. Judging from its location, it may be the main hall.
Song Huiyue and the other four went in and shook off the sand and stones on their bodies. Yinxiao went out and dragged back the fallen weapon rack, chopped it up with a knife and prepared to light a fire.
As soon as he took out the fire seal, he suddenly jumped up and rushed out of the door, approaching the courtyard door he had just entered and exited.
Song Huiyue chased after her: "Keep the one alive!"
Her original intention was to see who was behind the people she was chasing today, whether they were coming for her or the King of Jin, but when she looked at the door, she saw a thin and weird man standing at the door, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet.
, wearing a pair of black oil chain mail, tied with a fiery red robe, suede boots on his feet, and a flying fish bag on his back, with a bow and arrow in it.
Yin Xiao's sharp knife was pressed against his neck. He seemed not to see it, only glared at the people in the room and shouted: "Who are you! How dare you break into our Nanshan Village!"
Xie Zhou held on to the wall and said to Tie Zhenshan: "This ghost place must be a ghost."
If it weren't for a ghost, a young general appeared out of nowhere.
Song Huiyue stepped forward. It was pitch dark, and no matter how closely she looked, she could not clearly see the person's appearance, so she said to Yinxiao: "Even if he is a ghost, escort him in, light a fire, and interrogate him."
Under Yin Xiao's control, the young man had no choice but to abandon his armor and go into the house, letting Tie Zhenshan take care of him. As soon as the fire started, Tie Zhenshan suddenly said "Eh".
Everyone turned around and saw that the young man's face was covered with scars from the fire, which almost spread over half of his face. It was very scary.
Judging from the remaining half of his face, he should be handsome with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
A closer look revealed that the red robe on his body was in tatters, with fur on the cuffs and neckline. The suede boots on his feet also had several holes. The big toe of his left foot was exposed and turned purple from the cold.
When he saw Song Huiyue looking at him carefully, he snorted coldly: "I asked you to capture me today because my skills are inferior to others. If you want to beat me or kill me, you can do whatever you want! I will never surrender!"
