Yamazaki thought about it all the way, and when he stopped to feed the horses at night, he told Shandai what happened and agreed with her. At that time, he was afraid and breathed softly.
"Is this possible?" Shandai was eating spicy pastries to refresh herself and exercising her body at the same time. She was exhausted and tired, and that was how it was now.
"It should be possible to fool us. After all, we are all small people. It's normal that he didn't pay attention."
"Ah, I feel so tired of pretending."
"When you become invincible, there will be no need to pretend."
Shan Dai smacked her lips, "I don't know how long it will be. I'm still too young and my skills are not deep enough."
"Taking Pan Yunxiao as an example, I have to use a knife to break open those Liuyunfei sleeves."
"We also need a precious sword, otherwise it will probably break into pieces within three moves due to the squeezing of our internal energy."
"But if there is a good enough sword that can survive fifty strokes, then I might be able to kill him."
Yamazaki struck angrily, "It was with his bare hands. I didn't see that all his men used swords. If he used swords, you wouldn't be able to block a move except running away."
Shandai stuffed another pastry into her mouth, chewed it like Young Master Yunxiao, and said vaguely: "Oh, my skills are too far behind."
"In twenty years, no, ten years, I will probably be able to kill him with a sharp sword. One move may be enough."
Yamazaki shook his head, "It's a really good idea, but let's finish today first."
…
The two men and eight horses took a short rest and continued on their way through the night.
We ran to dawn and listened to the gurgling water, so we decided to go down the official road to the fields and rest by the water.
He stretched out his hand to test the water, and then let the horse drink.
Although it is not May yet, the temperature is not bad, the water in the stream is not cold, and the horses should not feel upset after drinking it.
The water in the prepared water bag is reserved for emergencies. We have to travel all day today. If we can't find a water source, we will give it to them.
Although it’s not too much or not enough, it should be enough to last a day and a night.
On the emperor's side, whether it was a carrier pigeon flying directly to the palace or a relay, at least he could not enter the capital until yesterday afternoon.
The time when the news reached the emperor should have been last night.
If the emperor really wants to use Shanjiabao to lead Lengmei Palace out of the palace as he thinks, the fastest he can do is this morning, he can send the news to Yan Guan and arrange for his second aunt to write a memorial.
The time is uncertain, but it may be tomorrow morning.
Therefore, in today's day and night, we not only have to rush to the capital, but also rush to stop the memorial before the second aunt's grandfather enters the palace.
…
Shan Dai meditated and adjusted her breath with peace of mind, and Yamazaki meditated and rested her mind, thinking wildly for about an hour. Arima woke up, and then the other horses woke up one after another.
For the horse, this is considered a long sleep.
Yamazaki asked Shandai to finish her work, drink water and eat and prepare to go on the road.
Then I fed them beans and salt, and then let them drink water. They all looked energetic.
Pack up, mount up, run!
…
After yesterday's warm-up, the horse probably adapted to long-distance running today, and every half hour it ran faster than yesterday.
At the end of the day, I simply found an inn to rest.
"We're going over there to hit the tip. Both humans and horses need a good rest, especially the horses. Just eating a few handfuls of beans won't do it."
"Brother, it's not a black shop, is it?"
"It's not like that in official circles. Besides, we have nothing to blame."
"Too."
…
Shunfeng Inn.
I passed by it twice before but didn't go in, but I caught up this time.
The inn does not have a yard, but it is quite large. It has a main building for dining and accommodation, two auxiliary buildings for accommodation, as well as a kitchen for the shopkeeper and a backyard for the staff to live.
There are three stables and warehouses, which can accommodate three groups of medium and large caravans.
When Yamazaki and Shandai arrived, there was no waiter waiting on the roadside to greet the guests. However, as soon as they turned the corner, a waiter came out of the restaurant with a smile on his face to greet the guests.
He came all the way to say hello, "Two guests, what a coincidence, our place is already full today. Guests, please be quick. You can drive dozens of miles further to stay in the town ahead."
Shandai said: "It's okay, we just have a meal."
"Forget it, let's go. Things should be cheaper in the town."
Yamazaki saw something was wrong and immediately asked Shandai to leave.
No inn will let guests leave, even if they don't have a room, they will be ushered in first.
Even if you let the guests sleep on the floor, you still want them to stay. After all, accommodation is a small expense, while food and drinks are the big deal.
At the same time, there was no lively sound inside the inn, and it should have been dinner time.
If it is full, there should be people everywhere, and there will be a lot of people and voices calling for the waiter everywhere.
For example, waiter, please come and refill the tea!
Waiter, where is my bath water!
Waiter, why are there bugs in this room?
The waiters will be so busy, responding everywhere, not as quiet as now.
…
"Where to go!"
"How many people did I think there were, but it turned out to be just two juniors."
"You've come just in time. He's here to give us a horse!"
A group of masked men rushed out of the restaurant. They all had strong steps and at least had first-class strength.
Among them were people who were good at Qinggong and could run two or three feet away in one step.
"Let's go! Business is important!"
Yamazaki once again asked Shandai to leave, but Shandai could only give up the plan of taking action and immediately changed her horse and led the pair away.
The two sides were thirty feet apart. The eight horses on one side turned around, and the Qinggong master on the other side had already rushed within ten feet.
"Look at the poison dart!" Yamazaki, who was holding the battle, shouted, turning around and shaking his hands.
At this time, it was getting dark, and it was really hard to see what Yamazaki was holding from a few feet away.
Several Qinggong masters who were running quickly stopped and tried their best to dodge.
"ah!"
"Lao Wu!"
The person in front was unable to dodge, and when he felt he was hit, he suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Then I realized something was wrong. It didn't hurt very much. Could it be that it was highly poisonous?
Subconsciously, I touched the wound and found that the skin was not broken.
Someone heard something was wrong in the sound, squatted on the ground and found the hidden weapon that was still rolling.
"No, it's beans!"
"asshole!"
"Chase!"
Feeling cheated, I chased him even more urgently, especially Lao Wu, who was determined to get his place back.
Although the eight horses had already started running, the distance was not far apart. Instead, they were pulled closer.
"Look at the poison dart!"
"Lao Wu, stop chasing me!"
When Yamazaki threw something behind him again, the masked man felt something was wrong and asked his accomplices to stop chasing him.
It's dark and I can't see clearly, so it's okay that it's beans, but if it's really a poisonous dart, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"snort!"
Lao Wu, who was running at full speed, used the wind of his palm to clear the way and knocked away the so-called poison dart. When he touched it with the force of his palm, he found that it was still a bean, and he suddenly became furious.
When he landed, he was full of energy in his right leg, stepped hard with his right foot, leaped into the air, turned around, raised his arms and waved, and fired a hidden weapon at Yamazaki who was in the lead.
"Brother, be careful!" Shandai warned quickly when she heard the sound of breaking through the air.
She and Yamazaki were separated by four horses, and the water far away could not save the fire close.
Naturally, Yamazaki heard the sound of breaking through the air, and his hair stood on end, so he had to take out some genuine products.
Listen to the wind to identify the position, use hidden weapons against hidden weapons, if there are not enough darts, use broken silver to make up the number.
"Ding ding..."
"Ugh!"
"elder brother!"
"It's okay! Business is important."
Yamazaki endured the pain and looked back. Lao Wu's figure had been blurred in the darkness, but he remembered the voice.
This poisonous bone-penetrating nail on his back will never change, and it will have to be returned to him sooner or later.
The other side was clever, and while making a shower of flowers, he also added the technique of two-flying butterflies threading the needle, attaching one penetrating bone nail to the back of the other to cover up the sound of breaking through the air.
His scrap of silver knocked off a bone-penetrating nail in the front, but missed the one in the back. When he heard a strange sound, it was too late to react.
