Guanshan Pass, Bison Pass, the moon and stars are scarce, insects and birds are singing, and occasional gusts of mountain wind pass by.

In the dense forest, which should be silent, there are different sounds, subtle, ordinary and difficult to catch, but as they get closer, there are many sounds gently stepping on the falling pine needles, but they seem to be unabashed.

The dark whistles around him did not move at the moment, and those who were also holding their breath were also with Li Xiuyan and others.

Entering the pass at sunset, it has long been confirmed that no one is following behind him, although he has not seen thieves and bandits all the way, he only thinks that it is blessed by heaven and man, and when he rests in the evening, all the secret sentinels are released, and he reports his whereabouts every half an hour, and he can know everything about any wind blowing and early movement, and he can't imagine that after only a few sips of wine, the outermost line of defense is disintegrated.

It can quietly solve all the secret sentinels, but it is not known! The one who comes must be a master of sneak attacks! This bison col is deep and dense, and if someone hides in it, it will be difficult to find out.

The night was silent, as if only his own heartbeat could be heard.

Jin Cheng and Zhang Wuli glanced at each other and turned to the northwest position, from which the sound of slight footsteps came.

The sentinels, guards and others who took turns to change the guard were also woken up softly, and they didn't dare to speak with a silent action, knowing that there was a big enemy at this moment, they slowly pulled out the saber next to them and held it slightly.

In the entire mountain, only Li Xiuyan's thunderous snoring echoed.

Jin Cheng listened attentively, and it seemed that there were people moving in the southwest direction, and the enemy was obviously prepared: "In this way, it seems that we are surrounded." Jin Cheng said with a solemn expression.

"Waiting for the next person all the way, it's really urgent, and I have to protect the young master and the young lady thoroughly. Zhang Wuli stopped talking nonsense.

This resting place, not far from the road, is the col of the mountain pass, that is, the watershed, located between the two mountains, surrounded by dense forests, this trip, is from the northwest to the southeast, and the sound comes from the northwest and southwest, so guess, that is, the enemy is following the way, has long known the route of Li Xiuyan and others, but whether it is a bright whistle or a secret whistle, but has not been discovered.

In the quiet of the night, when people are sleepy and tired, the guards around are slacking off at this moment, but the enemy is coming at this moment, and they do not shy away from revealing their whereabouts in advance, which can only show that they are in the chest.

Thinking of this, Jin Cheng couldn't help but worry.

The sound is getting closer and closer, the guards are starting to get nervous, some of them have left beads of sweat on their foreheads, their legs tremble, this kind of enemy in the dark is the most terrifying, like a beast, hiding in the dark and waiting for the best opportunity to attack, but I don't know when it appears, so that people's tense nerves never dare to relax.

"It's coming!" Jin Cheng said with squinted eyes.

Finally it was closer, taking advantage of the unextinguished firelight, the voices of the two directions converged, and in a trance, dozens of figures appeared in front of them, all dressed in black and masked, standing straight, without speaking, but with a solemn aura.

Seeing this, Jin Cheng took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency which way is on the road?" Passing by the treasure land tonight, I didn't dare to disturb it because it was too late at night, so I didn't pay a visit to the famous post, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

No matter who comes, first inquire about the name, maybe climb the road and climb the road, spend some money to send it away, walk in the martial arts rivers and lakes, look up and don't look down, it is nothing more than to seek the treasure of heaven and earth, yellow and white things, if it is not necessary, the two sides will not meet each other, and see each other's formation, a little tricky, it is better to shake hands and make peace, each go halfway.

The other party did not answer, and there was a slight echo in the air, as if he did not hear.

Jin Cheng's expression has not changed, walking for many years, walking through a lot of darts, meeting more people who rob the road, but also practicing a good state of mind, before knowing the other party's purpose, you must not act rashly, this trip to the dart, things are secondary, first to protect people's thoughtfulness.

Therefore, Jin Cheng continued without hurry: "I am the east of Ningzhou City, Jin Cheng of Jinwei Dart Bureau, today I was entrusted by someone to take a trip to the happy dart, it was too late, I rested in Guibao Land, hurried away, did not meet the famous post, and invited Haihan. Dare to borrow a road from you tonight, and cross the Bison Pass again in the coming day, and I will definitely come to visit. Jackdaw flies to Baoshan, flowing water surrounds the dragon gate, prepare tea here, please also move to a note. Jin Cheng raised his voice and repeated it again.

The so-called jackdaw flying treasure mountain, flowing water around the dragon gate, is the black word of walking the martial arts rivers and lakes, which means that he is willing to pay for the road tonight. The so-called ready tea, please also move to a note, is after this trip to the dart, if you will pass by next time, you must offer valuable things, martial arts rivers and lakes, if the other party says this, it is enough to give the other party.

The bison pass of Guanshankou, connected with eighteen mountains, hundreds of miles longitudinally and horizontally, adjacent to Ningzhou, Qingzhou, Haizhou and other places, due to the complex terrain, many poor mountains and remote areas, also known as the three regardless of the zone, many people who commit major things, or the outlaws who are chased and killed by the enemy hide in the mountains, like a fish jumping into the sea, happy to be at ease, plus entrenched in the mountains thieves and bandits, several forces entangled, killing people and goods, often happening, Jin Cheng reported his own name, and please move to a note, is to hope to retreat from the other party, see good to receive.

The autumn wind swept through the leaves, but there was still no answer, and the other party didn't seem to even know Jin Cheng's name, or he simply ignored the so-called Jin Wei dart game.

Martial arts rivers and lakes, the strong are respected.

"Do you know who is greeting you tonight? This is the son of the Li family in Ningzhou, Li Xiuyan, you dare to be presumptuous tonight, you can't eat and walk around. One of Li Xiuyan's personal guards shouted loudly, presumably in Ningzhou City, relying on the name of the master's family, he was used to being respected, and in this deep mountain and old forest, surrounded by dozens of silent people, it was really uncomfortable.

Jin Cheng glanced back and scolded the stupid donkey in a low voice.

Ordinary darts, when you encounter a wicked person in the mountains, just send some money, and you will not easily hurt people's lives. Thinking about the name of Jin Immortal, there is also a bit of thin noodles, and the other party will not do it easily, at most, he will leave if he wants to like the money, wouldn't everyone be happy. But now that Li Xiuyan's name is called, the other party must know who is protected by this trip, dozens of people are here tonight, and they will not be easily empty, after all, the Li family, one of the four major families in Ningzhou, has 10,000 acres of fertile land and countless huge sums of money, and it is worth fighting hard tonight.

Hearing Li Xiuyan's name, the other party was still like a statue, except for the wind and shadows, there was no follow-up.

"It's okay, they're coming for me. Hearing the voice, everyone looked back, and it turned out that Li Xiuyan woke up at some point. As the eldest grandson of the Li family in Ningzhou, Li Xiuyan has always been recognized as the backbone.

Seeing that the master's family woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and with Li Xiuyan's sharp tongue, they bargained, and in the end, it must have been a thrill.

But everyone didn't think about it, the other party didn't even want money, it must not be an ordinary thief and bandit, it is very likely that he came for people.

Seeing Li Xiuyan speak, the other party walked forward slowly, stopping at a distance of thirty steps, and by the faint light of the fire, he found that the other party was about a dozen people, most of the black-clothed people were carrying crossbows on their backs, waist forks and double knives, looking at this formation, they had experienced a lot of bloody battles.

The crowd was surrounded by a bloated man, who was clearly the leader. To his left and right stood two slender people, masked and carrying swords on their backs, standing in the darkness, exuding fierce sword intent, as if one person and one sword, could resist thousands of people.

Jin Cheng walked up to Li Xiuyan and said in a low voice, "Childe, I'm in trouble tonight." ”

"I can see that what the dozen or so people are carrying is a cold knife, made of dark iron outside the plug, which is extremely rare on the market, but there are so many of them gathered tonight, it can be seen that the force is not simple. Zhang Wuli glanced at Jin Cheng and took over.

"And look at the big crossbow, the most terrible thing, the string is full, it takes twenty stone of arm strength, look at the number of crossbow arrows on this back, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to get out tonight, and if we are not careful, we will be pierced into a hole. "It is expected that Jin Cheng has walked a lot of darts, and tonight's situation is dangerous, which is really rare.

Li Xiuyan smiled slightly, "The fierce sword intent of those two swordsmen, why don't you two say it." ”

Zhang Wuli put away his hippie smile in the past, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Young master, I will break off, and you will leave first." ”

"I'm desperate to hold off the time of the swordsman's half pillar of incense. When the time comes, if Gongzi Li goes out, bring a message to my family. Jin Cheng's face was awe-inspiring, and he didn't say half a word of nonsense, he had already put life and death out of the equation.

Before the dart walker, the family will be gathered and sent to the dart board for care. Before the delivery of the dart, you need to protect the dart well, if there is an escape, will be chased by the dart bureau, the whole family can not escape; if it is for the bodyguard to die, then the dart board will be old and young, food and clothing worry-free, so the dart board people, willing to die, but also to protect the whole dart.

Therefore, Jin Cheng expected that it would be difficult to escape tonight, so he said this.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuli also stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I was adopted and raised by the master, saved my life, and I will return it tonight, if the young master escapes back, I just hope that the young master will not forget his promise." Give the dog a big name. Zhang Wuli's wife just gave birth to a big fat boy, and she was also under house arrest in the Li family in Ningzhou.

"You guys are so unlucky, it's not dawning, and you're talking nonsense. Li Xiuyan wanted to take a few steps forward, but Jin Cheng blocked in front of him and didn't let him go.

"Young master, don't risk stepping forward, just take advantage of the chaos to escape, don't look back. Zhang Wuli pleaded.

"Can you escape from this formation tonight?" Li Xiuyan pushed Jin Cheng away, walked to the front of the crowd, looked at the bloated leader not far away, smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency is not for money, is it for this thing?"

"Yes, it's for this thing," replied not the leader, but one of the swordsmen. "If you hand it over now, I promise not to hurt you in the slightest, otherwise, don't think about leaving. ”

"God is mysterious, what does he want?" a voice muttered quietly.

Not far away, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao were lying on the ground, hiding their bodies with the help of dry thatch.

It turned out that Lao Dao followed the direction of the man in black before, and when he saw a fire rising in the bison pass, he pulled Qin Chuan to find a thatched deep and stayed, only showing two eyes, not far apart, but he could also vaguely hear the conversation between the two sides.

"Rabbit cub, I'm not a shocking person, how do I know?" replied casually, ignoring Qin Chuan no longer.

"What is the Surprise Gate? Does it belong to the sect of fortune telling? Isn't that a lie," Qin Chuan retorted, disapproving.

Lao Dao glared: "Those charlatans, the tricks they learn are not enough to worry about, a little fur, they will swagger and deceive, the real people in the door, know the world, and the good luck is ......", the old Taoist topic changed: "Hey, looking at the other party's style, it should be a beginner swordsman, this Li Xiuyan can't escape tonight." ”

"In the depths of the dense forest, a sword master has appeared, this is rare!" Qin Chuan was very excited, his eyes staring ahead.
