Chapter 228: Old Friends Meet
Seeing Qin Chuan listening to the sound with his ears sideways, Shen Lingqiu, who was chewing slowly and spitting fish bones next to him, was also a little cautious, not knowing what was going on, he had known Qin Chuan for so long, but it was the first time he had seen him with such an expression.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Zhi also sensed that something was wrong, and she swept around but didn't notice anything abnormal, and for a while she felt that Qin Chuan was listening to something mysteriously, but she didn't know what made him look like this.
Qin Chuan stood in front of him with a wooden box covered with strips of cloth, looked ahead without saying a word, as if he guessed that someone appeared in this direction, the carp in his hand was strung on the branch, and the charred surface was full of deliciousness, even in such an environment, Qin Chuan still raised the branch and ate a bite of the carp without hurry, and then continued to look at the post road.
Aunt Zhi and Shen Lingqiu stood together, and also followed Qin Chuan's eyes to look ahead, the fists in their hands were clenched tightly, ready to fight hard at any time. After coming out of Qingzhou City, I thought that there was no more danger, and I couldn't think of a meal, and my throat and eyes were raised again.
Qin Chuan said slowly: "If there are many people waiting to come down, you'd better hide first, so as not to hurt you by handing over your hands." ”
This time, Aunt Zhi replied: "It's okay, you can take care of yourself, and you don't have to worry about the rest." After that, he took Shen Lingqiu to the side of the carriage and tied the reins of the horses to the towering trees next to them, so as not to be frightened by the horses later, and they didn't know where to run with the cart's luggage.
After waiting for a while, the sound of horses came from the other side of the post road, and there were about a dozen horses, and in a short time, the voices became closer and clearer, and each sound seemed to step on the hearts of those present.
Aunt Zhi and Shen Lingqiu stood in front of the horses together, and they didn't look for a place to hide, knowing that if Qin Chuan couldn't get out and escape, then it would be useless for the two of them to hide anywhere, so they simply faced it directly, and Qin Chuan was more worry-free.
After a while, dozens of people appeared on the post road, wearing masks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, many of them were wearing soft armor, carrying special crossbow arrows behind them, holding big cool knives in their hands, and the horses under them were very strong. The horse's hooves made of dark iron keep hitting the ground, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not ordinary.
Behind the horses, there was a graceful carriage, decorated with a lot of jade beads on the outside, and even the wheels were gilded, but covered by heavy curtains, and I don't know who was sitting inside.
At the forefront, there is a majestic middle-aged man, the big cool knife in his hand seems to be different from the side, at this moment he stared at Qin Chuan, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle seeing a rabbit, from his dress, he knew that this was a person from the temple, and these people riding horses, this is the light cavalry of the Qingzhou City Mansion, which is much higher than those who hunt for martial arts cultivation.
In the winding mountains, it is most suitable to ride a horse to rush and pursue, no matter how outstanding your martial arts cultivation is, you can't withstand the pursuit of light cavalry, especially a dozen well-equipped light cavalry, who can consume a sword master in the realm of synaesthesia alive, so the martial arts practitioners in Qingzhou City are a little afraid when they see the light cavalry.
Qin Chuan was unusually familiar with this person, after all, Xun Chen, the governor of Qingzhou City, still had some reputation. And beside Xun Dudu, there was a sickly-looking scholar, holding a paper fan in his hand and waving it constantly, as if to drive away mosquitoes. It was the Qianzi period who fought with Qin Chuan in the Meng Mansion before!
Behind him, there was a sack on top of a horse, I don't know what it contained, but there was a constant sound of pain, as if a man had been forcibly put inside.
Qin Chuan said with some regret: "Hey, I hurt him." I knew that if he didn't take this path, but go elsewhere to have a good time, he wouldn't have landed at this point today, but can I know how he was hurt?"
Qian Ziqi waved his hand, a light cavalry slashed with a knife, only to see the sack roll directly to the ground, the person inside snorted in pain, and before everyone could react, he cut the sack again, and then kicked it, only to see that the guy who left with Qin Chuan's money bag was lying on the ground with a blue nose and swollen eyes at the moment, and there were still a lot of knife wounds on his body, but it was not fatal, but there was still blood soaked in the sack, which showed Sensen's white flesh.
Seeing such a scene, Shen Lingqiu gritted his teeth to prevent himself from exclaiming, he couldn't imagine that the guy who left earlier was in this situation now. Looking at the knife marks on his body, it should be done by this group, but I don't know how long he can last.
This guy just felt that his head was dizzy, and after he turned off the horse, the feeling of pain spread all over his body, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Qin Chuan standing thirty steps away from him, so he shook his head and said apologetically: "Brother, I'm really sorry." I was stopped in the middle of the way, and I couldn't stand the service of their swords, so I had to confess you. You also know that I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but after I run away, my family will definitely be harmed by them, and I will be helpless......" The fellow sighed, he really didn't expect this moth to appear.
Qin Chuan stretched out his right hand and signaled him not to speak again, so as not to affect the wound: "People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake." There was nothing wrong with what you did, and I would have chosen to do so at the time. It's just that they are too unruly, and they actually let you hurt like this, I'm afraid you have to lie down for a while before you can drink. ”
Hearing Qin Chuan's joke, the little brother smiled and coughed a few times, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he couldn't speak anymore! Because a light cavalryman directly took out a big cool knife and stabbed it into the guy's back, and when he pulled it out, he was already out of breath!
A living person died in front of Qin Chuan like this, but he was not shocked, there was no change in expression on his face, and he didn't even blink his eyes. Qin Chuan sympathized with that guy's experience, but he had already fallen into the hands of others, and the other party was too fast, so he didn't give Qin Chuan a chance to bargain at all, indicating that the other party felt that Qin Chuan would die today, and there was no need to discuss anything.
And Shen Lingqiu couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the tragic situation of that guy, this person had helped him a lot, but he didn't expect to die in front of his eyes, which made Shen Lingqiu unacceptable, just clenched the fist in his hand, but he felt very powerless.
Qin Chuan inserted the sword box left by Lao Dao directly into the ground and submerged five inches, and then asked expressionlessly: "Your Excellency, why don't you show mercy, maybe we can still have some business to do?" This person was born in poverty, and he was forced to earn a few silver coins for his livelihood, why not, I never thought that you would kill the killer, but you also blocked your retreat. My place of sitting on the mountains and watching the water is also an excellent feng shui treasure land, so many people, I just bury a few more big pits, squeeze it, but I can squeeze it. ”。
The light cavalry who had shot the murder before did not reply, but wiped the blood from the big cool knife from the guy's body, and then put it in the scabbard, looking at Qin Chuan in a daze.
Instead, Qian Ziqi put away the paper fan in his hand, turned his eyes to Shen Lingqiu's side and asked, "Miss Shen, do you recognize me?"
