Hu Xiaotian nodded. People on this suspension bridge were swaying when they walked on it, let alone the horses. Moreover, the bottom of the suspension bridge was made of wooden boards connected in series. There were gaps of about a foot between each wooden board. If these were forced to
When horses cross the bridge, those horses will most likely be frightened. If the horses' hoofs get caught in the gaps, the consequences will be disastrous. The most sensible thing to do is to leave the horses behind, but in this barren mountain, if these horses are left here,
They will definitely become the prey of tigers and wolves. Although they are just some livestock, they have some feelings after riding all the way.
Hu Xiaotian made a decision immediately: "Hoover, Li Jinhao, you two take the horses back!" He originally planned to let these servants send him to Qingyun and then return to the capital. Now that they have arrived in Xichuan, they have completed most of their mission.
The reason why I chose the two of them is because Hoover is the oldest, and the children in Li Jinhao's family are still in their infancy. Among them, he has the most concerns. Hu Xiaotian is still very thoughtful in doing things.
Hu Fu said: "Master, I asked us to escort you to Qingyun." But he was extremely surprised by Hu Xiaotian's decision.
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "No need. With Murong Captou accompanying him, he can handle any situation. You guys can't help much by following him." He was telling the truth.
Liang Dazhuang and Shao Yijiao were so envious. Why not let them go together? They really didn't want to cross this shaky chain bridge. Hu Xiaotian didn't fancy the abilities of the two of them, but they had a lot of luggage with them. If
If all these servants were to leave, wouldn't he have to do it himself? Liang Dazhuang and Shao Yijiao are both tall and strong, and they still have some brute strength. They will need to do some hard work on the next journey.
Several people unloaded their luggage from the horses and kept it as streamlined as possible, but still packed two large packages. Naturally, these two large packages fell on Liang Dazhuang and Shao Yijiao without any hesitation. Murong Feiyan didn't have many things in the first place.
She didn't bother to hand it over to anyone else, but her black horse had been with her for two years and had established a deep relationship. When she said goodbye, she was naturally a little sentimental.
The little girl held a small blue printed package in her hand and stood by the suspension bridge, quietly looking at the mountain peaks opposite, as if their affairs had nothing to do with her.
After Hoover and Li Jinhao arranged their luggage, Hu Xiaotian asked them to turn back and go down the mountain immediately. The sky was getting darker and darker, and they were afraid it was going to rain again. The mountain road was difficult to travel, and they were holding so many horses.
The hardships and dangers are not much worse than them.
After they left, Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "There is no turning back. If you want to be an official, you must walk on this chain bridge. Who comes first?"
Shao Yijiao said: "I'll go there first!" He still showed some courage at the critical moment.
Shao Yijiao carefully walked onto the suspension bridge with his luggage on his back. He stepped on the wooden planks and made a creaking sound. It was fine at first, but when he reached the middle of the suspension bridge, the swing of the suspension bridge became more and more severe. Murong
Seeing such a scene, Feiyan was so scared that she closed her beautiful eyes tightly. Hu Xiaotian kept paying attention to her condition and smiled: "It's okay, I'll go with you!"
Murong Feiyan said: "I'd better go back. I'm afraid I won't be able to cross this bridge."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you go back, who will protect my safety?"
Murong Feiyan opened her beautiful eyes and looked confused: "Does your life and death have anything to do with me?"
When Shao Yijiao was about to reach the other side, Liang Dazhuang also started to walk up the suspension bridge. This guy was tall and fat, and the burden he was carrying was equal to the weight of two normal people. As soon as he stepped onto the suspension bridge, he started to sway.
It seemed quite awkward to walk all the way. I would often stop after taking a few steps, and wait until the suspension bridge stopped shaking before I dared to continue walking. It took twice as long as Shao Yijiao.
At this time, the gloomy sky was torn apart by lightning, and a twisted crack was torn, and raindrops the size of soybeans came suddenly with the dull thunder. Hu Xiaotian said loudly: "Let's go quickly, we can't delay, the rain will be heavy soon!"
The little girl had already walked onto the suspension bridge first. Although she was young, she was very courageous and quickly reached the middle position with light steps.
Hu Xiaotian saw Murong Feiyan still standing there indifferently, so he had no choice but to walk over and whisper: "Feiyan, let's go there together, I will support you!"
Murong Feiyan bit her lip hard and her heart skipped a beat: "You go ahead!"
Hu Xiaotian was a little bit dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Murong Feiyan, who had always been stronger than men, would be so afraid of heights. He walked onto the suspension bridge, and Murong Feiyan followed him cautiously. Following Hu Xiaotian's footsteps, he took one step, and she was
He followed a step behind, and just after walking two feet away, the heavy rain fell like a torrent, and the wind became much stronger, causing the suspension bridge to swing from side to side. Murong Feiyan clung to the iron ropes on both sides, feeling that her legs were numb.
So weak that I can't even move forward.
Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes and saw that the little girl had walked three-quarters of the distance. He turned around and looked at Murong Feiyan again. A flash of lightning across the sky reflected her pretty face as pale as snow, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
It was a light of fear and helplessness, with both hands tightly grasping the suspension bridge iron ropes, and the delicate body was trembling.
Hu Xiaotian knew that Murong Feiyan's mental illness could not be overcome for a while. He shook his head, stretched out his hand, held Murong Feiyan's hand, and whispered: "Take your time and come here step by step.
Keep an eye on the board below and be sure not to miss the mark."
Murong Feiyan looked at his determined eyes, then looked at his feet, and finally mustered up the courage to take a step forward.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's okay, you see it's completely okay!" He put one of Murong Feiyan's hands on his shoulder and slowly walked forward with Murong Feiyan. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting them hard.
Without opening his eyes, Hu Xiaotian vaguely saw the thin and blurry figure in front of him still trying to move forward in the wind and rain.
The swing of the suspension bridge suddenly increased a lot, but the wind was not much stronger than before. Hu Xiaotian turned around in surprise, only to see a gray figure appear behind them. Because it was raining too hard, he could not see
After looking at the other party's face, he thought it was Hoover and Li Jinhao who had left and returned, and said loudly: "Hoover, is it you?"
The figure walked onto the suspension bridge despite the wind and rain. A dazzling electric light flashed across the sky and was projected onto the gray figure. The cold blade in his right hand reflected the electric light, and the dazzling electric light intertwined with the cold knife light.
, burned Hu Xiaotian's eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously, and then quickly opened them. The panic in his heart expanded to his whole body along with his nerves in an instant: "Be careful!"
Murong Feiyan also realized the approaching danger. She widened her beautiful eyes and suddenly turned around.
The gray figure had already rushed onto the suspension bridge. He stepped on the wooden board with his right foot. Using the rebounding force of the wooden board, his body rose into the air. In an instant, he crossed a distance of five feet. The long knife in his hand cut off the waves that were pouring down.
The heavy rain came straight to Murong Feiyan's head.
Murong Feiyan shouted sharply: "Go quickly!" At this moment, she forgot her fear. When a crisis comes, people will focus on the things in front of them. Because of the sudden appearance of the enemy and the sudden attack, Murong Feiyan
Suddenly she forgot her fear of heights. Her delicate body rotated on the half-foot-wide wooden board. She drew the long sword from her waist with her right hand and placed it in front of her head to block the sword of the man in gray who concentrated all his strength. Qiang!
The swords intersected, and thousands of sparks shot out. The two invisible potentials collided at the intersection of the swords. The powerful air flow centered on their bodies and rushed around like waves, carrying raindrops and flying in all directions.
Murong Feiyan's messy hair was blown back by the strong wind, and the wooden board under her feet broke with a snap because it could not withstand the strong impact. She took a step back in time and stood on the wooden board behind her.
, holding the iron rope with one hand, her delicate body swaying along with the suspension bridge.
The man in gray missed his attack, and his body flipped backwards and landed firmly on the wooden board. His gray robe was blown by the strong wind and flew back with a roar, clinging to his body. His body was thin and dry.
Even the face is made of skin and bones, and it looks like a humanoid skeleton at first glance.
The suspension bridge shook the most in the middle part. Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the iron ropes on both sides. The little girl had almost reached the opposite side, but suddenly a black shadow rushed towards him, but it was a black falcon, vibrating a pair of black wings.
, the golden claws clawed at the little girl's face.
