The days passed peacefully for five days. Dongzhang and the two followed the caravan and sailed out of Hangzhou without any danger. It should be said that these few days really opened Dongzhang's eyes and appreciated the ancient people.
We saw all kinds of customs, traveling merchants, solo travelers, wandering Taoist priests, all kinds of people. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the fight scene that Dong Zhang was most looking forward to.
The Dongzhang uncle and nephew enjoyed the scenery along the way happily. The people following the caravan were not so comfortable. They were no longer as decent as when they first met a few days ago. They were all unkempt and had sunken eye sockets.
The journey was dusty and dusty, and even though the clothes were not in tatters, there was not a single piece of them that was not dirty. His face showed a look of lack of sleep and overtiredness.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Dongzhang always felt that everyone in this caravan had a bit of rush on their faces. It was not the rush to hand over the task on time, but the rush to avoid something.
This discovery made Dongzhang feel a little uneasy. After more than a month of worry, the caravan arrived at the border of Xiangyang. At this time, Dongzhang could clearly feel that the entire caravan was relieved.
The whole team had a more cheerful atmosphere.
The people following the caravan also changed one after another. It was night. Dongzhang followed a few guards around the bonfire to watch his second uncle working there. Unlike others, Dongzhang always felt that this night was a bit strangely quiet.
.
It seems that the chirping of insects and birds on weekdays has become much less pronounced. I don’t know if Dongzhang is too sensitive, but I hope he is too worried.
After everyone had dinner and went to bed, Dongzhang couldn't help but quietly said to his second uncle: "Second uncle, I always feel that something is wrong tonight, but I can't tell what is wrong. Anyway, let's be more careful.
Bar."
But the second uncle obviously didn't think about it. He laughed and said: "I think it's quite normal. Don't think too much about it. Go to bed quickly. We have to be on the road tomorrow."
After saying that, he lay down on his own and was about to go to sleep. Seeing this, Dongzhang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and forced his second uncle to lie down next to the campfire to sleep. He pointed to the place next to the truck where there were the most guards and said.
"Let's go sleep over there, don't talk, just listen to me."
After forcibly suppressing the second uncle who wanted to refute, Dongzhang pulled the second uncle without any doubt and moved to a place where the guards were strong. Seeing how tough Dongzhang was, the second uncle had no choice but to let Dongzhang go.
Just kidding, I don’t know how many times Dongzhang has watched a large-scale costume romance action series. Whenever something happens to a businessman, the peripheral personnel must be the first to be harvested. Why else would you run if you don’t run to the place with the most guards?
In this way, the uncle and nephew chose to stay and sleep on the ground near the guard pile. Just as Dongzhang struggled to survive the midnight hour, when the time quietly came to Chou hour, the entire caravan and even the guards who were watching were already in a daze.
of time.
Under the illumination of the fire, Dongzhang faintly caught a glimpse of the reflection of the blade, and he suddenly woke up. He quietly twisted his neck and looked around without making any big movements. Sure enough, he saw a group of more than ten men in black quietly surrounding him.
After walking in, we were already at the middle level of the caravan.
I don’t know what happened to the people following the car outside, but they were probably in danger. Dongzhang quietly took out the rocks he had hidden under his body and threw them at a large tank on the truck.
boom!!!
A loud noise made this quiet night particularly harsh, and also alarmed everyone in the caravan.
choke!!!
choke!!!
choke!!!!
The dozing guards all around pulled out their sabers at the same time, and then saw the man in black not far away. The middle-aged guard headed by him stepped forward and shouted to him: "I am Liu Hongcai of Hengyuan Company, don't you know this is...
Is it something designated by the royal family? How dare you?"
After hearing the middle-aged guard yelling and scolding, the men in black around them did not respond at all. They remained silent and drew their swords in unison.
The middle-aged guard did not expect that telling his name would scare off the other party, but he did not expect that these robbers would be indifferent when they heard that they were the goods of the imperial merchants. While he was shocked by the audacity of this group of bandits, he also secretly sighed that although this group of ruthless bandits were
They didn't take Huang Shang seriously, but they were also a group of well-trained gangsters, so they just shouted to meet the enemy and ran towards the bandit leader.
And Dongzhang finally saw the martial arts he had dreamed of, but it was not what he thought. These gangsters were targeting his own team. Obviously, there is a big difference between watching others beat others and being beaten by one of your own.
.
Without further ado, the bandit leader took two steps to stand up from the ground, passed several people, and jumped to a height of more than two feet.
This stunned Dong Zhang who was hiding not far away. In later generations, even the top high jumpers were only three to four meters tall. It seems that with this jump, this person was already on the second floor in later generations.
The height of the building is high.
In later generations, since the moment Master Ma fell, Dong Zhang's martial arts dream has been declared to be completely over, but now, looking at the bandit leader under the moonlight, Dong Zhang's blood gradually warms up again.
This is martial arts, right? When Dongzhang was thinking this, the bandit leader and the middle-aged guard had already exchanged hands. The bandit leader was seen leaning forward in the air, and stabbing the middle-aged guard's head with the sword in his hand.
, whose speed is comparable to that of later generations of fast shooters.
The speed was so fast that the middle-aged guard could only stand still, put up his saber and block to the side. Taking advantage of the situation, he also swung the knife at the bandit leader who was still in the air. The bandit leader who could not avoid it also flexibly blocked the attack with his backhand.
Remember to chop and chop.
Zheng!!!
The swords collided, and the gangster made a beautiful turn in the air before kneeling down firmly on the ground. He stared at the middle-aged guard holding the knife with a gloomy look on his face, and with just one look, he stabbed the middle-aged guard like a poisonous snake.
In an instant, the sound of swords clashing was heard again, and the sight of the two of them moving around, dodging sideways, and swinging swords at each other was deeply imprinted in Dong Zhang's eyes.
This, this kind of skill would be difficult for future generations of gymnasts to achieve, and the sound of the swords clashing was so loud that it was conceivable how powerful that kind of power could be, and Dong Zhang could see it.
When he was in a trance, the middle-aged guard gradually showed his weakness under the attack of the bandit leader's sword, which was as fast as a sword.
After blocking with unstable breathing, the bandit leader finally struck his chest and abdomen with a sword. Just when the bandit leader showed joy in his eyes and was about to give the middle-aged guard the final blow, the middle-aged guard also forced himself in the middle of his breath.
He quickly distanced himself with a breath, and then said urgently:
"You might as well look around, how many of your brothers are left at this time? I admit that I am no match for you, but I can drag you into a tight siege even if I risk my life. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
He quickly looked around from the corner of his eye, and it turned out that it was indeed as the middle-aged guard said. The black-clothed bandit leader himself also knew that except for himself, the skills of the rest of his temporary team were not that outstanding.
Originally, there were eleven people with the same skill as him, but some accidents occurred, which led to this improvised team. The plan was to catch the caravan off guard at night when everyone relaxed their vigilance, but
I never expected that these improvised crooked melons and cracked jujubes would not be able to last for so long.
Seeing that there were only three or two men in black left not far away, stubbornly resisting in the face of an encirclement and suppression by guards several times their size, he caught a glimpse of the guards around him starting to take shape gradually forming an encircling formation and shrinking towards him, the bandit leader's eyes flashed.
There was a hint of reluctance, but was soon replaced decisively.
Looking at the middle-aged guard who was still breathing heavily, the bandit leader made a decision in his heart. He instantly raised his sword and rushed towards him. The middle-aged guard who had been watching the bandit leader also reacted instantly and swung the knife away to stab him.
long sword.
The bandit leader used the force of the recoil to dodge and run towards a close guard. Before the guard could react, the long sword had already cut the guard's throat, and then he kept running towards the forest.
.
When the surrounding guards saw this, they wanted to catch up, but were stopped by the middle-aged guard: "Stop chasing, deal with the rest, and then quickly clean up the mess, let's set off overnight."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and then swarmed around the two remaining men in black.
This is the first time that Dongzhang has seen a real murder. TV in later generations does not count, and the reality is far more cruel than the illusion. I saw the two men in black, three layers inside and three outside.
Ten guards surrounded him.
The masks of the two of them had been lifted off at some point, and their faces looked like they were only 27 or 28 years old. At this time, the two of them were back to back in a final desperate struggle.
The stomach of one of the men in black had been cut open, and he held his stomach tightly with his left hand in an attempt to stop the blood trickling out. If he looked carefully, he could vaguely see his intestines popping out along with the blood.
But his right hand still held the long sword tightly, and his eyes stared desperately and fiercely at the enemy in front of him. In a battle between trapped beasts like this, whoever rushes ahead will often suffer.
The two men in black were already determined to die, and most of the time they were thinking that they could get one to be buried with them and earn enough money, and they would still make money from a pair. No matter who got involved, they would be stalked like crazy dogs.
Sure enough, just as they finished their thoughts, they saw the two scarred gangsters. Among the people surrounding them, there were two young guards who couldn't help but attack them with knives.
When the gangster who was seriously injured and had an open stomach saw this, a flash of madness flashed across his eyes, and then he also swung his sword at him. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The guard with the knife saw that the knife he swung went straight towards the man in black.
But the other party did not dodge or dodge, and allowed the steel knife to slash at his shoulders and into his chest and abdomen.
A large amount of blood spurted out along with the young guard's gradually revealed proud smile, but that smile did not last long before it was replaced by an incredible and frightened expression.
The young guard rolled his eyes downwards and saw a long sword piercing through his chest. Only then did the two of them fall down when the young guard screamed in despair.
And it was accompanied by the cheerful and crazy laughter of the man in black...
