Not only does it feel easier when two people travel together than running alone, but it also seems to increase the speed a lot.
Under the guidance of Dou Rong, Han Qing walked against the flow of Jiulingshui. He changed paths several times but did not deviate too far from the river bank.
"If you keep walking along the path, you'll find the Yang Family Village! The old patriarch of the Yang family died last year, and the new patriarch used to be a rogue. I'm afraid he might have colluded with the thieves in black."
"It will be a little longer to go north from here, but the mountain road will be much smoother."
"It just rained. There is a creek in the middle of the road on the left. It may not be possible to cross it. Let's go to the right."
…
A little worried that Han Qing suspected that she didn't actually know the road, Dou Rong would often turn her head at forks in the road, look at the other person's face, and explain seriously.
"Yeah. You just have to decide how to go. I'm not as familiar with this place as you are." Han Qingze would smile and nod every time.
They had just joined forces to break out of the siege half the night before. At this moment, he had no doubt that Dou Rong would take him to the bandits' den.
Since Dou Rong and the thief in black cannot be a team, the only remaining thing is whether he will take the wrong path.
Han Qing himself didn't know the road, and he didn't have a map to use. Being led by Dou Rong to take a long detour would be better than him trying to figure out the direction by looking at the stars, and then groping by feeling.
Of course, there is another very important factor, which is that the girl Dou Rong is indeed very good-looking.
Most men in the world are born with "face control". Han Qing herself is no exception.
He was so nervous when he was ruining the temple earlier that he didn't bother to look carefully at anything.
Now that the danger was getting further and further away, his spirit gradually relaxed, and it was no longer possible to ignore the scenery in front of him.
Long legs, waist, tall, long hair.
Even in the 21st century, it is still a standard model figure.
And the whole body gave people a pure feeling, without any of the aura of dust that Han Qing was familiar with in his previous life.
After careful calculation, the last time I felt this kind of purity up close, Han Qing was still in high school.
That girl is not as tall as Dou Rong, but she is equally passionate and pure, and equally youthful.
As she grew older, the girl went to a very good university, and Han Qing joined the army after failing the college entrance examination. All that was pure and passionate was a warm memory.
When Han Qing finally succeeded in her career and became a well-known "Han Lu" in the divorce litigation field, she occasionally thought of that girl, but never tried to contact her.
They never even held hands, they just squeezed onto the bus together occasionally after school. Of course, they couldn't be considered their first love.
It's just a scenery that once existed in my memory. It makes people feel very warm when they recall it occasionally!
However, warmth is warmth. When the scenery in front of her and the scenery in her memory suddenly overlap, there is only pure appreciation in Han Qing's eyes.
On the surface, the difference between the two parties should be less than four years, but in actual mental age, there is a full twenty-year difference.
Even though Dou Rong was riding in front and pretended to be grand and steady, her demeanor and words that she inadvertently revealed were still childlike.
Han Qing, on the other hand, seems to like mature women in this life and in the previous life. She does not want her partner to be like a little sister.
"Go this way!" While he was thinking wildly, the voice of the girl Dou Rong suddenly came to his ears again, with a clear and clear voice that could not be concealed.
"Yeah!" Han Qing agreed and rode up to follow. Then he asked hesitantly, "Do you want to take a break? Although we have been changing our mounts, but after careful calculation, we didn't give up for almost two hours.
The mount stopped to drink water and eat grass!”
This is the benefit of adults. They know that the girl is exhausted, but they don't tell her that she needs a rest. Instead, she uses the horse as an excuse to prevent the girl from continuing to show off her strength in order to maintain her self-esteem.
Dou Rong was indeed "fooled". She looked back at the horses that belonged to her family and responded softly, "Then take a rest! But not here, let's walk up the mountain road for a while and rest halfway up the mountain. In this way,
After resting, you can climb directly over the mountain in front of you in one breath.
"Okay!" Han Qing didn't understand the reason for the girl's plan, but nodded decisively.
Satisfied with his pleasure, Dou Rong gave her a sweet smile, and then continued to drive the horse to lead the way. However, the speed was slowed down a lot, in case Han Da's inspection had never suffered before and could not bear it for a long time.
Bump immediately.
Quickly sensing the girl's kindness and attentiveness, Han Qing couldn't help but secretly smile and shake his head.
The previous owner of the body was indeed from a wealthy family. However, after he traveled through time, there was never a day when he could be said to be pampered and well-off.
For more than half a year, I have spent most of my time hunting and practicing martial arts so that I would not get sick from exhaustion due to riding horses all night.
As for the young girl Dou Rong, it was obvious that she was at the end of her strength. Her body inadvertently began to sway on the horse. If she hadn't taken the initiative to talk to her often, she would most likely have fallen asleep while sitting on the saddle.
The sky is gradually getting brighter.
All around, birds chirping one after another, making the mountains look particularly peaceful.
Before I knew it, the night was over.
The main peak of Ziwu Mountain, separated by several mountain ridges, seemed to be within reach under the sunlight.
Just as he was wondering whether he should take the initiative to shout tired so that the girl could get off the horse and rest early, Han Qing suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hoofbeats behind her.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes..."
At first it was very weak and vague, making people suspect it was an auditory hallucination. But soon it became clearer and clearer, from far to near!
"It's a pursuer, change horses quickly!" Han Qing quickly realized that the danger was approaching. He supported the saddle with one hand and jumped onto the spare mount. Then, he firmly pulled the reins of another bay horse.
Dou Rong was tired and sleepy, and her reaction was a full two beats slower than him. However, her performance was still crisp and clean. After hearing what he said, she didn't think much at all, she jumped directly from the saddle of the black horse she was riding, and landed on
The back of a bay horse.
The two looked at each other and nodded, tapping their stirrups at the same time in a tacit understanding. The two spare mounts, which were relatively strong, immediately accelerated, leading the other horses and galloping across the road.
"Stop, Han, there are our people in front of you, you will definitely not be able to escape today!"
"Stop, little lady, stop and spare your life!"
"Stop running, we have already set up an ambush in front!"
…
The pursuers also reacted very quickly. When they discovered that Han Qing and Dou Rong were speeding up, they immediately shouted and urged their mounts to move, and they clung to their backs.
Because they were traveling up the mountain road, Han Qing and Dou Rong could not make the speed faster no matter how hard they squeezed their mounts.
As for the pursuers, they didn't know which village had just replaced horses with sufficient strength. With their skilled riding skills, the distance between the two sides was shortened and shortened.
"Whoosh——" A leader of men in black took out a bow and arrow from under the saddle, aimed at Han Qing's back and shot.
The order given to him by his superiors was not to let Han Qing leave Ding'an County alive.
For him, the reward for taking Han Qing captive and taking him back was the same as taking his head.
His action immediately alerted the other thieves in black. In an instant, the shouts quickly became low, and one after another, the thieves in black took out their riding bows and shot arrows at Han Qing and Dou Rong for free.
, the shot caused grass smoke to rise randomly on both sides of the mountain road.
Because they were soaked by the rain last night, most of the arrows deviated from their targets and shot into the autumn grass on both sides of the mountain road in vain. However, there were still sporadic arrows that successfully reached the target, forcing Han Qing and
Dou Rong was in a hurry.
Neither of them had mastered the legendary skill of listening to the wind. Therefore, they could only run for their lives while turning sideways to observe the arrows coming from behind, and dodge in advance or block with a sword.
As a result, the two's control over their mounts will inevitably be affected. They almost watched helplessly as the pursuers got closer and closer to them.
"You go first and wait for me in front!" Seeing that the distance between the pursuers and him was about to be shortened to less than thirty meters, Han Qing became anxious and decisively turned his mount.
"Don't—" the girl Dou Rong's scream immediately sounded. Han Qing smiled again, quickly put away the Tang sword, leaned over from under the saddle, and pulled out the spear.
When a man reaches his forties, he cannot expect a little girl to take the initiative to stay and marry him off.
After being chased for a while, the thief in black can put the bow and arrow to the back of his heart. Instead of doing that, it is better to take the initiative to fight with the opponent to the death.
Anyway, after turning his mount around, he was rushing from top to bottom, so he could take advantage of the mountain's strength.
And he is currently worth a thousand condoms. Among the thieves in black, there should be no one who would let go of a thousand condoms and continue chasing an insignificant little girl!
In the morning light, Han Qing held the gun steady, pointed the tip of the gun at the man in black closest to him, and stepped firmly on the stirrups with his feet.
Several feather arrows brushed past his shoulders, but he neither dodged nor blocked, and just used the edge of the stirrup to hit the mount's belly.
"Sigh..." The mount was in pain, roared angrily, and flew into the air with its hooves.
More feather arrows flew close to Han Qing's body. Two of them obviously brought blood drops, but they were not fatal.
At a distance of more than thirty meters, the two sides rode their horses towards each other. Even if the speed of the horses was not increased to the limit, the time required was only four or five seconds.
The thieves in black didn't have time to shoot the second round, so they decisively abandoned their bows and raised their swords.
"You don't have as many weapons as me!" Han Qing sneered secretly in his heart. At the same time, he continued to point the tip of his gun at the man in black closest to him, trying hard to keep the gun barrel from shaking.
He still hasn't figured out whether the Han family's ancestral marksmanship is just a show.
However, during the fight last night, he figured out one thing: no matter what the shooting technique is, as long as it can hit the opponent, the opponent will die!
So, just forget about tricks and just try to kill the enemy.
"Don't—" The girl's scream had turned into a cry. The morning wind blew into Han Qing's ears, making his heart ache.
