With the inertia of the vehicle, the entire car suddenly rushed forward, and the two people in the car collided face to face.
"Ah!" Xiao Ke'er exclaimed and was about to fall.
Xia Shang steadied himself, stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Keer firmly, and immediately shouted outside: "What's going on?"
There was silence outside. Xia Shang waited for a second or two but did not receive any response.
Xiao Ke'er was held by Xia Shang, and she was a little nervous. She asked weakly: "Isn't it the coachman who fell and was injured..."
Xia Shang didn't respond, and his expression became wary. He knew in his heart that if the coachman really fell and was injured, he would have made some noise at least.
An ominous feeling came to his mind, and Xia Shang immediately focused on his experience and diverged his perceptions.
After Yue Haitang's zhenqi treatment, Xia Shang's perception has declined, because now the body is dominated by the zhenqi of outsiders, and the perception maintained by instinct has been affected to a certain extent.
But if Xia Shang took the initiative to sense his surroundings, his senses would be better than before.
Now with divergent perception, Xia Shang immediately discovered that there was no one outside the car and the driver had disappeared.
This is definitely very bad information.
In Xia Shang's arms, Xiao Ke'er didn't know what was going on outside, but she just felt shy being held in her arms all the time.
After a few short seconds, Xiao Keer tried to break free.
Unexpectedly, Xia Shang not only did not let go, but hugged him tighter, and even sternly rebuked: "Don't move!"
Xiao Keer's face turned red and she thought to herself: Why is this person like this?
But before she could think more about it, Xia Shang had already opened the car curtain with her in his arms, and then rushed out of the car with a long stride.
Only when she got outside the car did Xiao Keer realize that something was wrong.
Although it is dark night now, the moonlight above my head is still bright, and everything around me has a vague outline.
Judging from the blurry shadows around her, Xiao Keer also discovered that the driver who was supposed to be leading the horse at the front of the carriage was gone, and that the place they were in was no longer the capital, but an unknown suburb outside the city.
"How..." Xiao Ke'er was a little confused and just asked two words.
Xia Shang, who was holding her in his arms, suddenly flicked his wrist and shook out an inconspicuous hand crossbow from his sleeve.
Although the hand crossbow is small, you can tell at a glance that it is a self-defense weapon.
.
Xia Shang directly took out his weapon and looked nervous. Xiao Keer naturally felt the danger approaching.
Xiao Keer didn't say anything, and she stopped struggling. She just leaned against Xia Shang, not daring to move.
At this time, Xia Shang suddenly pulled the trigger toward the darkness.
The small crossbow arrow left the machine and instantly disappeared into the darkness.
However, no sound was heard when the crossbow arrow was fired, so he just wanted to go deep into the darkness like a quagmire, swallowing the crossbow arrow directly into the darkness.
The atmosphere is a bit tense now. This is a very open wasteland, with cracked loess underfoot. Only a few dry grasses can be seen in front of you, and nothing further away can be seen.
In the absolute silence, Xiao Keer could even hear her own heavy breathing.
Previously, she was still looking forward to having more exciting experiences in her life, but when she encountered them, she still felt fear in her heart and hoped that nothing would happen.
Fortunately, she was not alone now. At least there was a man holding her, which gave her a little peace of mind.
At this moment, in the direction where Xia Shang fired the crossbow, there was a sudden fluctuation in the darkness, and several streaks of speeding light appeared one after another.
Xia Shang also reacted immediately, squatting down with Xiao Keer in his arms, and then jumped sideways.
In a simple movement process, Xiao Keer actually saw an iron tool about half the size of a palm flying over Xia Shang's head and then hitting Xia Shang's bun. The hairband was instantly shot down, cutting off a bunch of hair.
, the hair fell down like a waterfall, completely blocking Xiao Keer's sight...
The darts in the dark had a strange arc and a very tricky angle, knocking off Xia Shang's hairband. The remaining two darts collided with Xia Shang's head, causing the flight path of one of the darts to deviate strangely.
, and instantly fell from above toward Xia Shang's head.
This sudden change of hand was something Xia Shang had not expected, and the person who could make such an action was by no means an ordinary person.
Xia Shang had no chance to avoid it and immediately activated his Qi.
In an instant, Xia Shang's body gained a layer of purple light. As the purple light appeared, the dart above his head landed on Xia Shang's forehead at the same time.
Xia Shang closed his eyes and could only resign himself to his fate.
After the dart hit once in the air, its strength was much less, coupled with Yue Haitang's true energy protection,
The dart landed on Xia Shang's forehead as if it hit a hard stone. There was a crisp sound of "dang" and the dart bounced away.
"Huh?" A soft voice came from the darkness. Apparently, he didn't realize that his opponent could still resist his attack under such circumstances.
Xia Shang quickly stabilized his body, stood up straight, released Xiao Keer, and let her stand behind him: "Be careful."
Xiao Keer's vision was blocked by Xia Shang's hair and she did not see the thrilling scene just now, but she was still very nervous now, her voice was low and trembling: "Are you... are you okay?"
Xia Shang rubbed his forehead, feeling a burning pain, but it seemed that there was no wound: "It's nothing..."
Seeing that Xia Shang was fine, Xiao Keer felt a little relieved. Thinking of Xia Shang's previous performance in Xuzhou, she felt very safe.
But this sense of security did not last long, and the two gradually discovered that they had to face many more enemies than they imagined.
In just ten seconds, there were more than a dozen men in black surrounding the two people. Some of them were obviously Japanese ninjas, while others retained the characteristics of Dahua warriors.
Seeing the appearance of these people, Xia Shang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that today's situation was much more difficult than imagined.
Just from the counterattack just now, it can be judged that at least one of the enemies this time is very powerful.
Although Xia Shang had sensed that more than a dozen people would appear before this, he did not expect that it would be a combination of Japanese ninjas and Dahua warriors.
Appearing in such a combination, there is no need to ask about the identity of the other party.
These people must be Tianxia Haige hiding in the Jianghu of the Central Plains.
Long before the Japanese mission entered Kyoto, the people from Tianxia Haige were already moving closer to Kyoto.
At first, Xia Shang simply thought that Tianxia Haige and the Japanese mission were in a hostile relationship, but now that they have experienced many things, Xia Shang gradually felt that the relationship between the two forces was much more complicated than imagined.
At least the Tianxia Hai Pavilion has not taken any big actions so far, but is just lurking in secret, making Xia and Shang more suspicious of their purpose.
Now, the people from Tianxia Haige appeared in front of Xia Shang, and as soon as they appeared in the wilderness, they sent more than a dozen experts. Obviously, they didn't just want to invite Xia Shang to have a cup of tea.
