28. Assault
There is an official road outside Rainbow City, which leads to various cities in the Fire Country, and is one of the most important arteries in the Fire Country, but most of the people who come and go are large carriages, so ordinary people or small carriages do not take this official road, so that sometimes, there are only a handful of vehicles coming and going on this official road.
And at noon, a carriage from west to east, just out of the city, this is a convoy, except for the head horse is commanded, the back carriage does not use grooms, but the reins of each horse are connected to the front one, forming the image of a tail with a head, like a long centipede passing through the official road.
The grooms of the head horses are three young men, all dressed in uniform costumes, with large black and white characters printed on them: "Iron".
This is the carriage of the Tie family, every once in a while, will be from the auction department in the city, the purchase of a batch of materials to the rainbow city to the north seven miles away from the Tiejia Fort to send, people work tirelessly to repeat the transport, and on both sides of the official road, it is just a towering mountain, between the mountains are full of towering trees, there are groups of birds and beasts inside, very lively, from time to time there will run out of one or two hares or porcupines, of course, if you are lucky, you can find food near the official road, and if you are unlucky, you will be caught by the horsemen who come and go on the official road, and become the delicacy in their mouthsγ
At this time, a terrible cry came from the forest, and two wounded deer jumped out of the forest and ran onto the official road, but they rushed to the carriage of the Tie family, which was extremely fast, and knocked the two deer out of the distance, one of which died on the spot, while the other deer seemed to have broken its neck and struggled powerlessly on the ground.
The grooms grabbed the reins, and their lewd faces quickly smiled, of course it was all my calculations, to let the sika deer go over to attract their attention, and me, with my two sisters, were actually already lurking around.
When I came, I had a lot of thoughts, and I kept thinking of Xue Ziqi's things in my mind, but as I went deeper, I suddenly found that her sentence I hate you said was very strange, because she was crying, if she really hated me, it should be anger, if she cried, was she driving me away and keeping me away from the quagmire of the Heavenly Fire Sect?
Three horsemen surrounded Hualu, and one of them took out a knife and quickly cut the throat of the struggling Hualu: "Brothers, you are lucky today!" he smiled happily.
"What a fat deer, this happiness has come so suddenly, what are the brothers going to do with this deer?" said the other groom, rubbing his hands, as if he had smelled the charming aroma of roasted meat.
"We got these two beasts into the car, and when we got to Tiejiabao, we took them down and found a shop to cook, I happened to have two jars of good wine here, and I was worried that there was no food!"
The people around applauded.
But at this moment, our three brothers and sisters rode their horses from the forest and rushed towards each other, and the other party was stunned and looked at us innocently.
"Drive!" I drove the horse, closing in on the other man.
"Well, it looks like a robber......" said one of the grooms, coming back to his senses and flustered.
The other groom swallowed with difficulty and muttered, "Impossible, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can there be robbers?!"
"Run!" roared the third groom, who was the first to return to the carriage, but unexpectedly an arrow tore through the air, and at a tricky angle, pierced his chest, and he was nailed to the carriage, unable to move, and looked very pitiful, but it was not long before he died, but because of the crucification, his body could not lie on the ground, but stood.
When the other two horsemen saw such a scene, they dared to think about other things, and ran towards Rainbow City without saying a word.
The tall robber nodded to a robber beside him, and then the petite robber flew a sword, quickly killing the two of them, he took off the black cloth on his face, revealing a face covered with stubble, yes, he was Sun Zhiqiu after wearing makeup.
Sun Zhiqiu wiped the blood on the blade with the sole of his shoe, and shouted to the rear: "Big brother, it's from Tiejiabao!"
The tallest robber is me, and the other robber is Sun Wanqiu, I nodded, got off the horse and walked over, groped on the groom for a while, and found that there was a letter on the groom, the letter was sealed with fire paint, very tight, Sun Wanqiu wanted to use the blade to unseal the seal, but I stopped it, I whispered: "Don't be impulsive, it is likely that someone in Tiejiabao made a ban in the letter in order to prevent the information from being exposed." As I spoke, I opened a little bit of the seal with my fingers, only to find that there was indeed a prohibition inside, this is a formation, but this formation is a formation that I have never seen before, I peeled off several key positions in the formation with my fingernails, and untied the letter only to find that the letter was full of words that I didn't understand.
"It's a witch pattern. Sun Wanqiu said, "Once, my father accepted the task of a person from the Five Poisons Sect, who was a Gu poison warlock, and wanted my father to transport a group of children to other places, but my father didn't agree and almost turned his face with them, so I am also familiar with witch patterns." β
I was amazed at Sun Wanqiu's knowledge, and he continued, "Then you can decipher these words?"
"I need time. Sun Wanqiu said, "I need time to check these materials, the text of the Five Poisons is different from the Central Plains, they use some strange symbols to piece together the meaning of the whole article." β
"That's good. "I threw the corpses into a pit dug in advance, and took the sheep with my hand, changed all the goods in the carriage, and sent them into the Sun Mansion one by one.
Sun Zhiqiu was robbing an adult for the first time in her life, and she was red for a while, so uncomfortable, but fortunately I told some jokes halfway to make her feel at ease.
After transporting all the things home, I found that most of these goods were food, as well as about eight thousand taels of silver, as well as some clothes and jewelry, it seemed that the materials were really sent to Tiejiabao, and the two women also thought so, but I laughed, I laughed very strangely: "Two sisters, this is the illusion that Tiejiabao gives to the world, generally Tiejiabao will be escorted to transport goods, but this time there are only three incompetent horsemen, it is enough to see that the center of Tiejiabao is no longer here." β
I paused, "Where are their horses?"
"Just grazing in the backyard, brother. Sun Zhiqiu said.
I nodded, and immediately walked over, in this small stable, there were six horses eating hay with their heads down, and these were the horses of Tiejiabao, with strong bodies and strong legs, they were rare horses, and as soon as I walked in, a white velvet body leaned over, and it turned out to be the sword wolf, and the little sword wolf bit a wooden stick, constantly circling around me, making me smile.
The little one is already much stronger than the other day, and I have been fed with the best mare's milk and miscellaneous grains these days, so it is very cute and cute, and the speed of the little one's growth is also very amazing.
I walked behind a horse, groped in the saddle for a while, but to no avail, and when I groped for the third horse, I found a small box hidden under the saddle, I immediately opened the box, but found that it was a bead, this bead was shining, no light and self-bright, the shape was very beautiful, but also crystal clear, beautiful and unusual, I could not help but be attracted by its beautiful brilliance.
I said, "What is this bead, why is it so unusual? It seems to have some kind of magical power......
"It was the castle lord of the Iron Family who asked them to escort a batch of treasures, and he planned to exchange some pills from the hands of the Five Poison Warlocks, and then help the Young Castle Lord to achieve good results in the upcoming Earth Immortal Realm Conference, if he got good results, the Young Castle Lord might be able to enter the Heavenly Fire Sect to learn advanced exercises, and then strengthen the strength of the Iron Family Fort. Wanqiu walked over and said.
"It's my sister, and it's translated!"
"No, no, no. Wanqiu said, "It's not my credit, it's this guy." β
Saying that, Wanqiu got out of the way and walked up to a groom, and I exclaimed, "Aren't you already dead?"
"You guys go first, when I went to clean up the battlefield, I found that this kid was not out of breath, so I brought it back. Wanqiu said.
The rest of the grooms, however, looked at me in fear, staring at us with a pair of eyes that hardly dared to breathe.
