In the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped. Chang Yu and his entourage left the village and continued on their way. The air in the mountains was so fresh that it was hard to extricate themselves. The oxygen ions were absolutely sufficient. Chang Yu's heavy breathing made the attendants bewildered. They didn't know that this little eunuch was coming again.
What's wrong with you?
Within a few miles, the mountain road unexpectedly saw travelers, and even a caravan of dozens of people. Seeing Chang Yu and his entourage running towards him, he was so frightened that he immediately ransacked them, but it was a false alarm. The dozens of riders laughed and passed by.
After all, Qiu has no fault.
They should be officers and soldiers, the leader of the caravan guessed.
Officers and soldiers? No, usually officers and soldiers will move forward when encountering this kind of caravan, just like they often have to pay tolls to bandits.
There are nearly 200 miles from Jinan to Tai'an, more than 90% of which is in the Taishan Mountains. At dusk, we were almost halfway through, so we found a slightly wider place to start fire repairs and wait for the scenery behind.
Su Jing and Lian Xin traveled slowly by carriage, and there were many rustling horses in the mountains. Chang Yu did not dare to stay too far away from them, lest something happened and he would not be able to rescue them in time.
In fact, with her pure skills, even ten or eight thieves couldn't stop her at all, but now that Lian Xin is a dragster, she has to be careful.
As night falls, although the mountain breeze is cool, the mosquitoes are annoying, which makes Chang Yu even more troubled by the battle in the mountains and jungles to the south.
Several piles of bonfires were crackling, reflecting half a mile of the mountain road. The soldiers gathered together to eat dry food and rest. Kuang Ren hunted some game and was grilling it for Chang Yu. Not far away, Su Jing was teaching Lian Xin to ride a horse. The girl was brave.
The little one was so frightened that she screamed from time to time, and Su Jing was so angry that she kept scolding her. The girl's eyes were filled with tears, but she was dumbfounded by all the guards. How could such a fairy-like person be willing to scold her?
Chang Yu thought the same thing in his heart, but he didn't dare to interfere because he was afraid that Su Jing would fight him when he got angry. He was not afraid of fighting, but he was afraid that Su Jing would be defeated if he got angry and used his sword.
Out of sight and calm in mind, he simply picked up a wooden stick and scratched it on the ground. Since crossing over, Chang Yu's footprints are almost all in the north centered on the imperial capital. He has been to Taiyuan in the west, Ningyuan in the north, and Ningyuan in the south.
...It's the sole of the foot.
Relying on the memory of later generations, Chang Yu drew a rough geographical map: "After leaving the mountain, we will reach Tai'an. Based on the current distance, we may arrive there tomorrow evening, and then go all the way south to Qufu. To the west of Qufu is Yanzhou, eh."
, it is expected to be available within three days..."
As he was talking, the sound of horse hooves in front of him came: "Sir, something unusual has been discovered two miles ahead."
"Copycat!" Wu Zhong, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, jumped up when he heard this and shouted loudly. The guards who were chatting around immediately got on their horses and drew their swords from their sheaths, surrounding Chang Yu in the middle and entering a state of combat readiness.
Chang Yu couldn't help laughing and scolding Wuzhong: "Why do you have a gangster air in your mouth when you say something, and why do you want to steal someone... You want to rob someone?" When he said this in the originally tense atmosphere, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
laughing out loud.
"What's going on up front?" Chang Yu then asked the security guard.
"Sir, two miles ahead, there is a bonfire blocking the road in the middle of the mountain road, and several people are wandering around with weapons." The guard said quickly, and everyone was stunned.
"This is the trick of the old Jianghu." Wu Zhong laughed: "If there are three or five people blocking the road, you don't know if there is an ambush in the dark. You don't know whether it is true or not, and then you will be led by the nose. That's nearly a hundred people."
The caravan did not dare to move easily, so it had to spend money to buy the way. If there were few travelers, it would be a disaster."
"It's late at night, let alone a caravan. Even a small group of officers and soldiers don't dare to mess around." Chang Yu sneered: "It's a pity that I met the governor." He got on his horse and said, "Kang Ren led ten people to follow the governor.
, Chen Suole led ten people to the rear, and Chen Ruxin led the remaining troops to look around."
"Sir, don't act rashly, and don't go too deep, beware of thieves ambushing you secretly," Li Muchian shouted. Chang Yu ignored him and was riding forward when he saw Su Jing following him with a sword in hand. He scolded: "Go back."
Su Jing was stunned, mistaking her good intentions for a donkey's liver and lungs, and was about to say something to Chang Yu, but was forced to retreat by a look from him, snorted coldly, turned around and came back.
"Master..." Lian Xin was a little scared.
"I can't die." Sujing felt angry in her heart and couldn't help shouting.
Chang Yu led more than a dozen personal guards to ride along a long road. The mountain road here is relatively narrow. Although the slopes on both sides are not steep, they are densely forested. It is chilling in the dark night. No one knows whether a group of people will suddenly rush out.
When Kuang Ren saw Chang Yu unsheathing the blue bird sword and placing it across his chest, he also took out the sword and whispered to the nearby archers to kill anyone who found anything unusual.
A hundred steps ahead, in the middle of the mountain road, a huge bonfire was lit. Even though they were far apart, five or six big men could clearly be seen looking this way with knives dangling in their hands and smiling ghostly.
Obviously they knew who was coming.
"Whether we are friends or soldiers on the road, leave half of the horses and leave. We will see you again in the future as brothers." The big man put the knife in his hand on his shoulder and shouted loudly at the dozen or so riders who were slowly approaching.
The other party didn't respond and continued to ride his horse. The big man was a little angry: "Don't be so fucking pretentious. I'm telling you that I control Sanshan in this area. I, the King of Heaven, pass through here... ah."
Screams started.
Several sharp arrows shot through the air, killing several people in the middle of the mountain path in the blink of an eye!
The night suddenly became quiet again, with only the crackling of the bonfire.
Without saying hello, without testing, without saying a word, he came up and shot directly. This was Chang Yu's style. He never reasoned with thieves and never showed mercy.
"Haha, I thought your master would be able to control the Three Mountains. It turns out that there are just a few bobcats playing tricks..." Before Chang Yu could finish his words, he heard the miserable howl of a woman on the mountain to the east: "The master... brothers
, kill these thieves to avenge the boss!"
The co-author is not just a few bobcats, but an ambush.
The ambush soldiers had been frightened just now, and they had just come to their senses.
Hearing the sound of killings on the hillside, which ranged from dozens of people to dozens of people, Kuang Ren ordered him to shoot blindly while turning his horse's head and retreating. Because the situation was unclear, you didn't know how many people there were on the other side, whether there were outflanks from behind, or whether there were archers.
.
As they were retreating, Chen Ruxin led his troops and immediately ordered the bows to be fired at the dark hillside. Dozens of bows were fired at once, and screams were heard from time to time in the darkness.
Seeing that there was no ambush behind and no archers in the rebel army, Chang Yu reined in his horse's head. He stood in the middle of the mountain road and looked towards the bonfire in the distance. There were as many as half a hundred people in the darkness over there. He was afraid of getting close to the strong bow, so he swung it.
Swearing with swords, guns, and sticks.
"Kill him." Chang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. Five groups of guards moved their horses forward and fired from a long distance. The thieves screamed and fled in all directions. When they arrived at the thieves, they had become birds and beasts. There were more than ten corpses left on the ground, and there was actually a woman among them.
The man was dying with three arrows in his body.
Chang Yu drove his horse forward and opened her scarf with a knife. He saw clearly that she was a beautiful woman of about twenty years old. He couldn't help but sigh: "You are a beautiful woman, how could you become a thief?"
"You, you thief, killed my boss, I..." The sword flashed, and before the woman could finish her words, her head rolled down the road.
"Noisy!" Wu Zhong wiped the knife clean on the horse's butt and put it into the sheath, then cursed in a low voice.
Chang Yu had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. Then he heard a thief wailing on the hillside: "You thieves who are so cruel will be punished by the five thunders of God and die..."
Presumably they also saw this cruel scene.
But he couldn't beat him, so he could only curse.
Behind the team, Su Jing's face turned blue. Is this an army killing? It's not the same as fighting in the rivers and lakes. There is not so much nonsense, and there are not so many rules. They suppress it with strong bows first, and charge with iron cavalry. Those bandits have no idea at all.
No matter how powerful they were, they were martial arts masters and could withstand strong bows and cavalry.
