When Hu Xiaotian saw him, the man also noticed Hu Xiaotian and the others, and rode towards them.
Huo Shengnan was secretly vigilant and quietly took off the long bow, just in case the other party would be detrimental to them.
The man first opened his arms to show that he had no ill intentions, then clasped his fists on his horse and said loudly: "Brothers, I have lost my way in this Fenglin Gorge. I hope you can give me some guidance."
Hu Xiaotian heard that his voice sounded familiar. After taking a closer look at the guy's facial profile, he recognized that he was actually the red-haired man he met on the merchant ship. He never expected to meet him here. Because the red-haired man was covered in sweat all over his body.
Because of the loess, Hu Xiaotian failed to recognize him at the first time, and the red-haired man did not recognize Hu Xiaotian and the others. Another reason why Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan were also covered in loess was that they both wore masks.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "We are also groping along."
The red-haired man came to them and got off his horse. He looked at the water bag in Hu Xiaotian's hand and said, "Brother, can you give me some water?" Before Hu Xiaotian could agree, he took out an ingot of gold and threw it over.
Hu Xiaotian originally planned to give him some for free, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so generous. He reached out and took it. There were five taels of gold ingots.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Thank you!" and threw the water bag in his hand towards him.
The red-haired man took a few gulps from the water bag, then took out a copper basin from his carry-on luggage, poured all the remaining water into the copper basin, and placed it in front of the mount for it to drink. After completing all this
, came to Hu Xiaotian again: "Brothers, are you willing to take me with you?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Okay, but we are not locals and are not familiar with the terrain here. If you lose your way, please don't blame us."
The red-haired man smiled and said: "I can't thank you enough for your help, so how can I blame you? I'm Jin Yulin, may I ask the names of these two brothers?"
Hu Xiaotian clasped his fists and said: "My name is Huo Yuanjia, he is my senior brother Huang Feihong, he is mute."
Huo Shengnan was startled when he heard this. Hu Xiaotian was obviously worried that if he opened his mouth, he would be exposed and the other party would find out that he was a woman. However, this guy's ability to lie is really admirable. He opened his mouth and even made up his name so naturally.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Let's continue on our way! Try to leave Fenglin Gorge before dark!"
Jin Yulin nodded and said: "Brother Huo is absolutely right. I entered this loess forest early yesterday morning and I have been going around and around and still haven't found a way out."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I heard that there are bandits in Fenglin Gorge. Let's try not to spend the night here."
Jin Yulin said: "Brother Huo is talking about the Muddy Waters Gang?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's the Muddy Waters Gang!"
Jin Yulin said: "I have also heard of these bandits, which have been entrenched in Fenglin Gorge. I hope I will never encounter them." After saying this, he smiled and said: "If I hadn't met you, I would rather be robbed by the bandits.
, there may be a chance to meet them. But facing this maze-like loess forest, I have nothing to do."
Huo Shengnan had a keen sense of smell and smelled the smell of blood. When he looked up, he saw that the saddle of Jin Yulin's horse was stained with some blood. Although it was covered with a lot of loess, he could still see clearly at a glance. Huo Shengnan had gone through countless battles, big and small.
It can be seen from the blood stains that it is not old. If she guessed correctly that Jin Yulin should have experienced a fight not long ago, this person may not be telling the truth.
The three of them mounted their horses again. Huo Shengnan took advantage of Jin Yulin's unpreparedness and glanced at Hu Xiaotian, pointing to the fresh blood on Jin Yulin's saddle.
Hu Xiaotian had actually noticed it, but he just didn't say a word. He rode alongside Jin Yulin, while Huo Shengnan followed behind, to be wary of what Jin Yulin was doing.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where did Brother Jin come from? Where are you going?"
Jin Yulin said: "I am a member of the Great Yongshao Yuan family, and I am going to Tianbo City to visit a friend. Where is Brother Huo going?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "We are all businessmen. I wonder if Brother Jin has heard of Baofengtang?"
Jin Yulin smiled and said: "I don't know much about the business world, please forgive me for being ignorant."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "We brothers are the clerks of Baofengtang. We went to Yongdu to do business on the order of our boss. This time we are returning home from Yongdu last night! We are not satisfied with Brother Jin. Let's take this road.
I just walked by.”
Jin Yulin laughed loudly and said: "It seems that I have really met a noble person. Brother Huo, this business must be very smooth, right?"
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "It's not bad!"
At this moment, Jin Yulin suddenly raised his head. Looking up at an eagle soaring above his head, his expression seemed to change a little. He quickly pulled out the long bow from his back, bent the bow and aimed an arrow at the eagle in the sky. The long bow in his hand was a bit old.
, the decoration is also very simple, with many red and blue rags wrapped around the bow body, which have mostly faded over time. Although Huo Shengnan could not see the material of the bow body, he could see Jin Yulin's bow string at a glance
It is made from a mixture of yak tendon, fine steel wire and an unknown animal hair, so the tension must be extremely high.
Jin Yulin's bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was shot at the falcon in the sky. The strength and speed of this arrow had reached the extreme, but the accuracy was still a little off after all. It missed by a thousand miles, grazing the right side of the falcon.
After flying out, the falcon was alarmed by the arrow and immediately flew higher, out of Jin Yulin's range.
Hu Xiaotian saw that Jin Yulin missed the target and said deliberately: "Is that an eagle?"
Jin Yulin said: "Falcons are usually used by people to spy on intelligence and discover the whereabouts of enemies. Brother Huo, didn't you just say that thieves often come and go here? I'm worried that this may be the falcon they raise. Let's leave here as soon as possible."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, knowing in his heart that the Muddy Waters Gang did not need to go to such trouble to use falcons as vanguards. They knew the terrain of this area well, and their strengths were underground, not in the air. Jin Yulin must have lied to them.
, Judging from his performance, he should be escaping from the enemy. Hu Xiaotian began to regret going with this guy. He didn’t know what kind of enemies he had provoked. Wouldn’t he have caused trouble out of thin air by choosing to go with him? Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian deliberately
Said: "Ouch! I have a stomachache, Brother Jin, I'm sorry, I have to stop for convenience."
Jin Yulin said: "Brother Huo, please excuse me." He was obviously a little uneasy and looked up into the sky from time to time. Hu Xiaotian said to Huo Shengnan: "Brother, do you want it convenient?"
Huo Shengnan glared at him. This guy was becoming more and more shameless. He nodded in front of Jin Yulin, and the two of them rode around behind the loess pillar.
At this moment, Jin Yulin suddenly took off his long bow behind him, bent the bow and aimed an arrow at Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian turned around and looked at Jin Yulin and said, "Brother Jin, what do you mean?"
Jin Yulin smiled ferociously and said, "What is the purpose of you two bringing me here?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Jin, you obviously took the initiative to go with us, but I didn't force you to come with me."
Jin Yulin sneered and said: "Luoying Palace really mobilized all the troops for a lewd thief, but it's a pity that all the people they sent were useless trash. You should die!" The feather arrow shot Hu Xiaotian in the chest.
Huo Shengnan was already at the side. Although she was slower than Jin Yulin in drawing out the bow and arrow, she still bent the bow and shot the arrow in one go. The arrow suddenly shot towards the sword light in the air. With a bang!, the arrows of the two arrows were fired. The tips collided together, shooting out several sparks. Huo Shengnan's arrow successfully blocked Jin Yulin's arrow.
Hu Xiaotian had already activated Xiao Hui immediately, and the man and the horse became one, and a gray lightning bolt rushed towards Jin Yulin. In the middle of the process, he had already drawn out the big sword Hidden Feng behind his shoulder with his backhand, and burst out with a thunderous roar, shining at Jin Yulin. Cut it off with one sword.
Jin Yulin saw Hu Xiaotian's menacing approach and did not dare to neglect him. He slapped his left hand on his waist, and the Yanling knife flew out from its sheath. He grabbed the scabbard with his right hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the black horse under his crotch neighed, and then it flew out. His legs kicked off the ground and he jumped up on the spot.
The sword made a heavy impact in the void, and a stabbing sound made the eardrums of the two people numb. The two horses crossed each other, and the two exchanged positions. Jin Yulin's arm was slightly numb from the shock of Hu Xiaotian's sword. He never expected that this young man's physical strength seemed to be even greater than his own.
Hu Xiaotian turned his horse around, looked at Jin Yulin coldly and said, "You bastard, I helped you out of kindness, but I actually repaid you with kindness!"
Jin Yulin's right hand Yan Fei Dao pointed at the ground on the right at a 45-degree angle. He pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, and the black horse accelerated towards Hu Xiaotian again. If the strength is inferior to the opponent's, he needs to use the momentum of the horse to win in the battle. The decisive factor is not only strength, but also fighting skills and experience.
Hu Xiaotian does not have much experience in horseback combat. Although he is a small gray horse, he really lacks training for this kind of assassination competition on horseback, and he also lacks the necessary tacit understanding between the horse and the man. Hu Xiaotian held a sword flower in his hand and did not He urged his horse to meet him, but instead slashed out with his sword in the air. The sword wind was fierce, but unfortunately it did not realize the ideal release of sword energy.
Huo Shengnan watched Hu Xiaotian swing his sword. He was expecting it, but when he saw him firing the cannon, he couldn't laugh or cry. The long bow in his hand was drawn again, and the arrows went! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three arrows were fired in succession, one of which hit the horse's leg. , shot an arrow into the belly of the horse, and another arrow aimed at the eye of the black horse. To capture the thief, capture the king first, and to shoot the man, shoot the horse first. When facing the enemy, Huo Shengnan never hesitated.
Jin Yulin was already ready to attack, but because Huo Shengnan fired three arrows in a row, he had to change his mind. He swung the Yanling Saber in his hand and shot down all three arrows with three swords.
The real intention of Huo Shengnan's three arrows was to attract Jin Yulin's attention and make him give up his attack on Hu Xiaotian. The fourth arrow with the greatest power had already been shot when Jin Yulin shot down the feather arrow with his sword. This arrow was aimed at Jin. At Yulin's throat, the arrow tore through the air like a meteor, and a straight and transparent trajectory was torn apart by the arrow wind in the void filled with loess.
I have to go to work in the morning, and I only have time to type in the afternoon. I will give you an update first, and I hope brothers and sisters will vote more! (To be continued)
