Chapter 240: Maungbi Pan'an
The pine forests are reckless, boundless, and the snow on the ground is mottled and gray.
The snow was originally silvery-white, but although the snow in the Guangdong realm fell heavily, it melted quickly, and as soon as the sun shone, it quickly turned into nothing, revealing patches of dark gray soil.
At this time of snowmelt, the road is the most muddy and difficult to walk, and the horse's hooves step into the muddy pool, and immediately sink half a foot, which is not much different from walking in the swamp.
After escaping from the Grand Canyon, more than forty horses had been galloping for nearly half an hour, but the shadow of Longchuan City was still not visible in front of them, but the pursuers behind them were approaching again!
Luyuan Grand Canyon to Longchuan City, only less than a hundred miles away, just this half a day of non-stop escape, at this time, all the mounts are tired, even dozens of miles, it seems to become unreachable.
Miaojue Shitai's mount was injured by an arrow when he left the valley before, and he had long since run and could not move and was abandoned, at this time Miaojue Shitai was riding the original pure heart mount, and the two little nuns of Jingxin and Jingyu were riding on the same horse. And Bai Yiling's mount was shot to death, and after leaving the canyon, he has been riding with Chu Yiyi all the time.
The horses that pulled the carts in the trading houses were not suitable for riding and running, and five or six of them had fallen from exhaustion along the way, and those who lost their mounts could only ride with others.
As a result, the speed of the group's escape for their lives was greatly affected.
Compared with the people who fled for their lives, the Chang brothers and the underworld people and horses behind them chased much faster, after all, they were all authentic war horses, and they did not pull a big cart for a whole day like the horses of the caravan.
If it is only ten miles and eight miles away, a master like Miaozhen Miaojue can abandon his horse and run lightly, even if he takes Mr. Ma Da, it is a few points faster than riding a horse like this. It's just that this place is still dozens of miles away from Longchuan City, and there are no horses, so it is even more difficult to escape the pursuers by running on two legs.
Rao is like this, and several people from the "Jingci Lin'an" have already protected Mr. Martha's left and right, as long as the pursuers behind him arrive, they will definitely immediately take him and flee first.
"Master, these mounts have exhausted their strength, and if they continue like this, they will definitely not be able to reach Longchuan City!" it was Zhu Hong who spoke, he clenched his fists and said, "It's better for me to go back and fight with the Chang brothers for a while, at least I can block them for some time!"
"No, it's no different from sending them to death if you go to block them alone!" Hua Bushi vetoed.
Of course, he knew that most of the horses that everyone was riding could no longer support them, but before the moment of Zuihou, there was still a glimmer of hope, so he couldn't let Zhu Hong fight with the underworld people and give away his life in vain.
But at this moment, Meng Huan, who was running in front, suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there is also a horse team blocking the road ahead!"
The roads here are muddy but much straighter than the rugged mountain roads in the gorge. Hua Bushi stared into the distance, and immediately saw that there were fifty or sixty horses blocking the road a hundred zhang in front of him, and the knights on the horses were all dressed in black and had steel knives on their waists, which looked extremely strong.
Seeing this scene, Hua Bushi's heart suddenly sank.
There are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and it seems that a fight is inevitable. And the scuffle together, the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" and the "Jingci Lin'an" may still be able to break through and escape, and the more than 30 people of the "Dingyuan Commercial Bank" are not good at martial arts, and they have no power to resist, I am afraid that they will be killed by the underworld strongmen immediately!
Master Miao Zhen looked at Hua Bushi and asked, "Does Young Master Hua have a high opinion?"
Everyone escaped from the canyon, and all the way was commanded by this "Vicious Dog Young Master", and the strength of the "Vicious Dog Gate" at this moment was stronger than that of the "Jingci Lin'an", so Master Miaozhen had to consult Hua Bushi's opinion.
Hua Bushi gritted his teeth and said: "Our two factions are in front of the masters, let's work together to kill a bloody road and rush over!"
Since a war is inevitable, there is nothing to retreat from. Hua Bushi has decided to take advantage of the situation to attack, although there are many underworld people and horses blocking the road in front, but compared to being attacked by the enemy in front and back, of course, it is better to take the initiative to attack.
Master Miaozhen did not hesitate and said, "Okay!
Under the gallop of the horse, the distance of 100 zhang is instantaneous!
Rushing to the front are Miaozhen Shitai, Yi Ruoying and Zhu Hong, they are the three strongest martial arts among everyone, and Meng Huan and Miaojue Shitai protect Liang Ji and follow the three people in front.
Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu and Mr. Ma Da and others rode horses to follow, and the group of people from "Dingyuan Firm" left Zuihou.
At this time, the black-clothed knights who were blocking the road had also drawn their swords in their hands, lined up in a phalanx, raised their weapons in front of them, and prepared to attack. Compared with the steel knives used by ordinary martial arts people, the sabers in the hands of these black-clothed men are long and thick, and the weight is not light, and the blades are shining in the cold light of the sky and snow!
The two sides were only a few feet apart, and they were about to collide in one place, but Hua Bushi suddenly shouted behind him: "Stop! Don't do it! They are not underworld people!"
And almost at the same time, from behind the group of black-clothed people, there were actually people shouting: "Tiger Benwei obey the order!
Dozens of black-clothed swordsmen replied in unison, "Yes!", and put their knives back into their sheaths together, and they were actually well-trained and did not dare to disobey orders at all.
Master Miaozhen, Yi Ruoying and Zhu Hong had already rushed to the front, and when they heard Hua Bushi's shout, they immediately thought that the situation had changed, and each of them reined in the horse. Yi Ruoying and Zhu Hong were a little far away from the black-clothed swordsmen, and they were able to barely pull the horses, Miaozhen Shitai rushed to the front, and the mounts were running with all their might, how could they contain the momentum of inertia for a while, and they had already crashed straight towards the formation arranged by the black-clothed swordsmen!
But I saw a figure like a peng bird flying over the heads of the black-clothed swordsmen, and landed directly in front of the Miaozhen Shitai's mount, only to hear a loud "bang", the horse's body had hit the scabbard in front of the man, and he failed to move him in the slightest, and the horse neighed, but as if it had hit a mountain, it flew upside down a few feet, and fell in the middle of the road!
Master Miao Zhen was so quick to react that her feet immediately left the pedal, and her body jumped up vertically, floating three feet away, before falling to the ground, and her eyes were full of fear!
At this time, she saw clearly that standing in the middle of the road was a middle-aged man with thin eyebrows and small eyes, with a short beard, also dressed in black, and the knife in his hand looked wide and long, and the weapons used by the black-clothed swordsmen behind him were the same standard.
The horse galloping at full speed, how strong the force of the forward collision was, this man took the blow hard, as if his feet had taken root, and did not move for half a minute, but the horse of Master Miao Zhen could not withstand it, and under this collision, his bones were broken, and he fell to the ground, and could not stand up again.
Just by virtue of such a strong kung fu, he knew that this person's martial arts were extraordinary, at least Master Miao Zhen knew that he would never be able to do this.
The people who came rushing had already reined in their mounts, but Hua Bushi urged the horse to come closer, and said to the middle-aged man in black: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Mr. Xue has always been good?"
The middle-aged man in black also returned the salute with his fists and said, "Xue is still the same, but Hua Gongzi's complexion is getting more and more vigorous, it's really rare!"
This short-bearded middle-aged man was the one he met a few months ago in the "Happy Island Casino" in Changsha City, and Xue Yuan, the commander of Jinyi Wei Beitang. "Beixue", known as the "No. 1 master in the Ouchi", has extraordinary martial arts, and he can't touch him with just a horse.
Previously, Hua Bushi galloped closer, and suddenly recognized the style of the steel knives in the hands of those black-clothed knights, which were the same as the weapons of those black-clothed people seen outside the "Happy Island" that day, and only then did he conclude that they were the men and horses of the Jinyi Guard, not the people in the underworld, and Xue Yuan also found the young master of Hua Da in the horse team rushing over almost at the same moment, and immediately ordered the guards to put away their swords and stop.
Xue Yuan said again: "Since I met Hua Gongzi in Changsha City, my master has mentioned Gongzi to Xue several times, I didn't expect to be in this wild place in Guangdong, Zaijian, and my master will be very happy!"
Hua Bushi knew that the master Xue Yuan was talking about was the "Chitose Highness" Duyun Gongzi he saw that day, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and asked, "Could it be that Gongzi Cao is also here?"
Before Xue Yuan could answer, a voice had already said: "Brother Hua, don't come unharmed, junior brother Cao Duyun is polite!"
I saw a group of black-clothed swordsmen dodging to both sides, and a white dragon horse as snow-colored as silver had galloped out, and immediately a beautiful son with a peerless elegance was Cao Duyun himself.
This Dusk Cloud Boy is still the same as when Hua Bushi saw him on the "Happy Island" a few months ago, he is still graceful and graceful. The only difference is that he sat at the table and tasted wine that day, looking gentle and elegant, but now he is riding on a horse, wearing a green shirt and a three-foot long sword inlaid with beautiful jade hanging from his waist, which adds a heroic spirit.
A beautiful man who looks better than Pan An, with a vigorous heroic spirit, his charm is irresistible to all girls in the world.
Yi Ruoying, who was riding on a horse on the side, couldn't move her beautiful eyes away from Cao Duyun's body, and even Hai Hongzhu had straight eyes, looking at this peerless son, with an obsessive look on her face.
Hua Bushi coughed lightly, clenched his fists and said: "It's time to talk in detail at this moment, there are still hundreds of underworld people behind us, and we will chase after them immediately, and ask Brother Cao to help defend against the enemy!"
Cao Duyun said: "No wonder Brother Hua rushed all the way here, it turned out that there were underworld strongmen who were making trouble in broad daylight, it was really lawless!"
His eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Hua, don't worry, with the junior brother here, those strongmen will not be able to please him!"
Hua Bushi said: "So the little brother has thanked Brother Cao!"
Cao Duyun immediately gave Xue Yuan a look, and Xue Yuan waved his hand and shouted: "Tiger Benwei listens to the order and sets up an ambush!"
