Chapter 0115: Robbery
Dongfang Guan Yuan finally agreed with Wuji's opinion, she made such a request for the first time, and it was reasonable, and it couldn't refute her face.
Of course, it was impossible for him and Quiet Knife to let her escort Wei Yunru alone, not for the sake of task rewards, and men had to keep their promises, they didn't want to be as reckless as scraping bones and healing wounds.
That night, Dongfang Guan Yuan concentrated his mind and sensed the little python dragon in his mind.
In his mind, the five-section sword has grown a large section, as the sword soul of the five-section sword, the little python dragon should also have a lot of changes, but what disappointed him is that the little python dragon does not seem to be any different from before.
Dongfang Guan Yuan didn't dare to sense deeply, that would consume a lot of spiritual power, and there was no wisdom pill to replenish.
The next day, the four of them boarded a large passenger boat, sailed upwind and water, and went straight to Xixia City.
What made Dongfang Guan Yuan feel at ease was that he did not meet Mu Bei on the ship, presumably Mu Bei stayed in Jiangbei, and his brother must have arranged an inn for him early, and Jiangbei and Jiangnan had their own different passenger ships.
Passenger boats are much larger than ferries, and there are private rooms on the upper deck, but they cost a lot of money, 20,000 yuan each.
In order to save money, many players share private rooms and take turns to rest, after all, even if they don't rent private rooms, they need 5,000 yuan per person, which makes many players forget about the daunting fare, so they can only choose to take the land route, and it is much cheaper to hire a horse-drawn carriage, but there are still many people who walk on foot.
In fact, it is enough for four people to rent two rooms, two men and two women, just enough to squeeze it, but Dongfang Guan Yuan waved his hand, one room per person, he chartered it, in this low-level scene, he is a rich man, not bad for money.
Entering the private room, Dongfang Guan Yuan praised his wisdom, the private room is very small, except for a narrow bed, only a table, not even a stool, this space is really a little narrow, but think about it can be understood, after all, this is on the ship, it is already very good to have such an independent space.
Although the passenger ship was downwind, it was against the current, and the speed was not fast, and it was expected to take five days to reach Westrim City.
In this small private room, the sound insulation is not good, there is really no way to exercise the physique, in order to cope with the unexpected, he does not dare to dry up the cultivation, all he can do is to use the quick calculation skill to secretly deduce, the only thing he can do is to practice the pure heart technique that can calm the mind.
In fact, the private room is only for sleeping, and most of the players are in the cabin or deck, eating or chatting, but Dongfang Guan Yuan didn't want to waste time, so he prepared a lot of dry food, dried meat and water, and prepared to close the door.
As long as there are no accidents, he will stay in the private room all the time.
I relaxed my muscles, stretched my waist, and prepared to sit on the bed.
But he stopped abruptly and looked at his left arm in surprise.
Dongfang Guan Yuan's left shoulder injury had been healed by Zi Chong with a spell, but because he didn't want to be discovered, he kept pretending to be injured, and now he didn't need to hide it anymore, he was surprised to find that the strength of his left arm seemed to be much stronger than normal before, and it was very obvious.
"What's going on? Could it be a side effect of Zi Chong's spell to treat my shoulder injury?"
There is only one explanation.
Dongfang Guan Yuan's shoulder was shot by a crossbow arrow, only a small injury, Zi Chong's spell was very powerful, in addition to healing his shoulder injury, his entire left arm was also repaired by the way.
"What a purple rush!"
Dongfang Guan Yuan admired and annoyed again: when will he have the strength to fight with him, it's too far away!
He waved his arm slowly, and suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Since my left hand is so powerful, why can't I practice the left-handed sword?"
The more Dongfang Guan Yuan thought about it, the more feasible he felt, as long as he practiced it, his left-handed sword would definitely be faster than his right-handed sword!
In addition, in some cases, it may have the effect of a surprise attack, and in the future, if the right hand is injured, it will not lose its combat power.
He gently pulled out the five-section sword, handed the sword to his left hand, and danced slowly, but he was really not used to it, and his movements were out of shape.
Activate the Quick Calculation skill.
I danced twice, although I was still not used to it, but the movements were much better-looking, but the room was small and I couldn't stretch it.
Dongfang Guan Yuan stood on the bed, and slowly swung his sword according to the guidance of the speed calculation skill.
In the next few days, Dongfang Guan Yuan locked himself in his room, practicing every move, style, and movement hundreds of times, until the sword was natural and proficient, and he moved as he pleased.
It's just that the private room is limited, and I can't dance too fast, and I haven't experienced actual combat, so I don't know what the effect is.
The passenger ship was not hindered and arrived safely all the way to Xixia City.
This is also understandable, after paying so much money, if the system comes to make trouble again, the player will have to scold his mother.
Xixia City is also cut off by the Ming River like the town of Duanyuenan, divided into two cities, east and west, passenger ships dock at the east and west wharves respectively, Dongfang Guan Yuan four people of course get off the ship at the east wharf, do not take a rest, hire a dart car in Xixia City, go straight east along the avenue.
Traceless's right hand was already moving, but not too hard, and the quiet knife returned the scimitar to her.
Xixia City does not have a Weiyuan dart bureau semicolon, but there is a wind and thunder dart bureau, only do business in the territory of King Anping, the scale is small, Dongfang Guan Yuan hired a larger dart car, escorted by three dart divisions, one person drives, one rides in front of the road, one rides in the back to press the formation, belongs to the standard configuration.
Dongfang Guan Yuan didn't want to be too ostentatious.
Along the way, I met a lot of players traveling westward, and there were fewer people and cars to the east, most of them were merchants, and they were basically game characters.
In the evening of the same day, the dart car arrived at Lu'an City and stayed at the Ludong Inn.
Lu'an City is a small city, not much bigger than the town, but it has an administrative department such as an official office, and it is the political and commercial center of the vicinity.
During the meal, there were three dart masters at one table, Dongfang Guan Yuan with four people at one table, and a few other guests at the table.
Dongfang Guan Yuan noticed that several people were quietly looking at them, looking at the costumes of these people, it seemed that they were all game characters, not players.
"Could it be King Anping's secret agent?"
Dongfang Guan Yuan quickly rejected, these people don't seem to belong to the same force, most of them are singles, and some are in groups of two, not only do they not communicate with each other, but they are more vigilant.
"Big brother, it seems that some people have bad intentions towards us. The quiet knife approached Dongfang Guan Yuan and said in a low voice.
"You saw it, who would they be?"
"Doesn't look like a player, isn't it a robber?"
"No, this is the county seat, robbers don't dare to come to the county seat to make trouble, I heard that King Anping's territory is well governed, there are almost no robbers, not to mention that they don't seem to be in a gang. ”
"Who could that be?"
"I can't guess, but it must be strange, I feel that they are not weak, they should all be monsters. ”
"Heighten your vigilance and sleep with one eye open at night. ”
That night, Dongfang Guan Yuan was concentrating on two things, retaining part of his sanity, and listening vigilantly to every move outside, he and the quiet knife sandwiched Wuxian and Wei Yunru's room in the middle to facilitate the rescue.
But nothing happened.
"Maybe I'm overthinking, they might be on guard against anyone, not just us. Dongfang Guan Yuan comforted himself.
The next day, we went on our way.
Most of the territory of King Anping is plain, less mountains and more water, there are two rivers from the upper stream through its jurisdiction, and many tributaries are divided, so that the land is abundant, the people are rich, the scenery is also pleasant, there are small bridges and flowing water everywhere, willow embankments, lakes and waters.
The second daughter kept opening the curtain and looked out, looking intoxicated.
Dongfang Guan Yuan was heavy in his heart, although he didn't hear it, he could faintly feel that someone was following!
"Who the hell is it, and what do you want to do?"
He used his quick calculation skills to rule out all kinds of possibilities for players, robbers, and the government, and finally got a possibility: someone wants to rob the dart, and the robbery is not property, but people!
These people are not staring at him and Quiet Knife, but Wuji and Wei Yunru's two daughters!
Perhaps the other princes did not give up, in order to prevent the court from marrying the king of Anping, they intercepted all the female dependents who went to the royal capital of Anping, and the four of them were heading in the direction of the royal city of Anping, and they would be targeted by others.
If so, there will be a fierce battle ahead!
Dongfang Guan Yuan decided to go to the town in front, let the quiet knife disguise the four people, get rid of the stalkers, go around the south, avoid Anping Wangcheng, and go to Fengnan City.
There is another small bridge ahead.
Because the river surface is not wide, the bridge body adopts a wooden structure, the bridge deck is not wide, only two small and medium-sized vehicles are allowed to stagger over, and the dart car is a big car, go to the front of the bridge, stop, an ox cart comes on the opposite side, pulling a cart of firewood and grass, just to the opposite bridge.
"Phew!"
The old farmer who was driving the cart stopped the ox cart and raised his hand: "I'm not in a hurry, you go first." ”
The dart cart moved on.
Dongfang Guan Yuan suddenly became alert: he heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind him!
Someone chased after them, as if trying to strike while they were crossing the bridge.
"Since you can't dodge, you can only kill!" Dongfang Guan Yuan sneered secretly.
He whispered: "Knife, you protect the two of them, I'll go intercept the people, watch the front." ”
The quiet knife also heard the voice behind him, nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry." ”
Dongfang Guan Yuan lifted the curtain of the car and jumped down, and said to the dart master behind him: "You go first, I'll go and send the thieves behind." ”
The dart master was stunned, to protect the safety of the guests, and fighting with the thieves is their dart master's job, this guest seems to want to turn against the customer, rob their business, because there are very few robberies in the territory of King Anping, so they only sent three dart masters, this blue sky and white day, and Lang Lang Avenue, how can there be any thieves?
He looked back, his face suddenly turned white, and there was dust in the distance behind him, and more than a dozen high-headed horses galloped over, and immediately the knights were all strong, and they were not ordinary people at a glance, and the dart master hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, the wind is tight, go quickly!"
"Drive!"
The dart master who drove the car shouted, and then with a loud whip whistle, the dart car sped forward.
Dongfang Guan Yuan stood in the middle of the bridge, gently drew out the five-section sword, and looked coldly at the crowd of riders who were getting closer and closer, he didn't feel any pressure, if he was on flat ground, it might not be easy to stop these horses, not to mention that there were so many masters, but this was on a bridge that was not wide, no matter how many horses there were, it would hinder the joint attack, he only needed to let the first horse fall, and the back was not afraid.
As long as there are no super masters among these people, it is not too difficult to kill them.
Dongfang Guan Yuan was very confident in his quick calculation skills, not to mention that his left arm was already intact.
Suddenly, there was a long roar of a cow behind him, and Dongfang Guan Yuan Huo Ran turned his head, and saw that the ox cart on the other side of the bridge suddenly started and rushed towards the bridge like crazy.
The old farmer shouted, "The cow is frightened, get out of the way!"
Dongfang Guan Yuan's heart sank, staring at the old farmer, and he was surprised in his heart, why didn't he realize the danger in this direction?
The old farmer was obviously in the same league as those riders, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that the ox was frightened at this time!
