Under the bright moon in the sky, amidst the chirping of insects, a carriage with dozens of escorts and retinues was slowly advancing on the official road by the light of the moonlight and torches.
As a retinue, Jiang Jinnian unconditionally obeyed Hongxiu's arrangement and chose to continue on his way in this silent night.
But as the captain of the escort team, Jiang Jinnian must inform Hong Xiu in advance of the dangers of traveling at night.
"You should know that operating at night will increase many unnecessary risks."
Riding his horse to the side of the carriage, Jiang Jinnian, who was parallel to Hong Xiu who was driving, said in a calm voice that he was very dissatisfied with Hong Xiu's behavior of driving all night.
The brothers have just experienced a life-and-death fight and should take a good rest.
Facing Jiang Jinnian's reminder, Hongxiu turned her head slightly, glanced at Jiang Jinnian with phoenix eyes, then raised her head slightly in the direction of the carriage and gave him a meaningful look.
But at this moment, Jiang Jinnian immediately understood that traveling all night was the order of the superior in the carriage, and even Hong Xiu did not dare to say more.
"What your Majesty needs most now is time. If you can't arrive in time..."
Hongxiu's face was solemn and she didn't say any more.
Jiang Jinnian nodded and said to his brothers: "You all cheer up. From now on, everyone will take turns sleeping behind the carriage, two at a time, for an hour at a time. Pay attention to your front, rear, left, and right, and be careful of enemy night attacks.
…”
The carriage that Hongxiu drove was specially made. There was a special baffle behind the carriage, which could be lowered to carry luggage and allow people to take a break.
Jiang Jinnian drove his horse around in the team, using his loud voice to keep the brothers in the escort team awake.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Jiang Jinnian had just had a few words with the brothers who were responsible for guarding the rear of the carriage, and promised to invite them to drink at Wanhua House, the best place in the city, when they had free time. Several people were talking and laughing when suddenly
I heard Ma Yuandao, who was leading the team in front, let out an angry shout.
"Who is that person in front of you?
Stop, come here again and we will shoot arrows!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air.
Soon, Jiang Jinnian heard his brother say again: "It's really evil. Why didn't you hit it?"
Jiang Jinnian did not dare to delay and quickly drove forward, preparing to go to the front to take a look at the situation.
As soon as he arrived at the front of the team, Jiang Jinnian saw two people in front of him by the light of the torches in the hands of his brothers in the escort. They were dressed in very familiar costumes of the escort. They stood there with their hands folded, blocking the way forward of the team.
A bull's head, a horse's face, and two terrifying masks that looked like messengers from hell, looked particularly terrifying in this late night.
Ma Yuandao drove his horse to Jiang Jinnian and whispered his judgment.
"Be careful, it's definitely not easy for these two guys to stop our team here."
Jiang Jinnian looked around and nodded slightly.
The team's current position is located in an open area, and there is no way to hide any ambush within a hundred steps of the surrounding area.
In fact, Ma Yuandao didn't need to remind him that there were only two people in this group of bull-headed and horse-faced people, but they dared to come together to stop such a large team in the middle of the night, which was obviously a bit unusual.
Jiang Jinnian raised his arm and raised his left palm, the carriage stopped moving, and the escort lined up behind Jiang Jinnian to protect the carriage.
The man wearing the bull-head mask took a step forward and said nonchalantly: "Our brothers are in a good mood tonight. As long as the people on the carriage and other unrelated people, if you don't want to die, please leave as soon as possible."
Li Wenbin turned over neatly, jumped out from the horse, and landed in front of the bull's head. The long knife in his hand was pointed at the bull-headed man in black who had just spoken nonsense. The long knife looked particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
“Where did the animals come from, shouting here?
You should keep your mouth open for grazing, instead of talking shamelessly here."
Niutou was furious, roared, shook a pair of fists as big as Shabo, and shouted at Li Wenbin: "Boy, don't say that labor and management didn't give you a chance, do you dare to fight me?"
Li Wenbin spat, "Bah, I will kill you like chopping melons and vegetables!"
The cow took a few steps forward and said loudly:
"You are so brave, rat. Don't punish your tongue. When I tear you in half, let's see if you still dare to shout at the labor and management!"
Li Wenbin showed no fear on his face and turned to look at the captain Jiang Jinnian. Jiang Jinnian nodded and agreed that Li Wenbin would play.
Li Wenbin no longer hesitated, immediately stepped forward to meet the enemy, and immediately fought with the bull head.
"Captain, there is one more, let me come!"
Li Wenbin had just handed over, and Li Yong from the escort also said something to Jiang Jinnian, waved the dragon stick in his hand, and killed the horse-faced man in black who was watching the show with his hands crossed.
Although Gu Yuan was on the carriage, he was always paying attention to the situation outside the carriage.
As soon as the two sides fought, Gu Yuan immediately saw that their skills were not on the same level.
Although Li Wenbin's moves are sharp, his sword dance is very powerful.
However, facing Niu Tou, who had gold gloves on his hands, he fell into the opponent's plan.
Gu Yuan frowned slightly, fearing that Li Wenbin would be at a disadvantage. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng seemed to have not seen him. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip without saying anything.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to turn his head and look out the window again.
At this moment, the situation outside the window had changed.
The gold gloves on Niu Tou's hands are made of unknown materials, so that Niu Tou is not afraid of the sharp blade of the long knife in Li Wenbin's hand.
Gu Yuan saw clearly that Niutou repeatedly took Li Wenbin's killing moves with his bare hands, allowing Li Wenbin to attack many times, but he always failed to accomplish anything.
On the contrary, Li Wenbin was bullied several times by the bull-headed man in black, and received two heavy punches from the bull-headed man. Li Wenbin's breath was confused and even the moves in his hands became incoherent.
But here, Li Yong's dragon-coiling stick faced the horse-faced man in black's bone-white whip, but he also failed to gain any advantage.
As the saying goes, a gun picks a line and a stick sweeps a large area.
Li Yong's Coiling Dragon Staff uses fierce kung fu and has a wide range of moves, which is most suitable for team battles.
But the long bone whip in Ma Mian's hand was like a gangrene attached to the bone, always tightly entangled in the dragon-coiling stick in Li Yong's hand.
There were a few times when the dragon-coiling stick in Li Yong's hand was almost snatched away by the bone whip in Ma Mian's hand.
Seeing that both companions were in an unfavorable situation, Jiang Jinnian ignored the rules and signaled to Ma Yuandao to protect the carriage. After that, he also waved the spear in his hand and joined the battle.
"Well done..."
Jiang Jinnian's joining not only did not make Niutou feel timid, but instead he laughed loudly as if something good had happened to him.
Jiang Jinnian originally intended to help the weaker Li Yong, but Niutou Shabo's big fist hit him, forcing him to stop and concentrate on dealing with Niutou's attack.
