Chapter 65: Interception
The rise of commercial market towns is often built along major transportation routes. The main street of Luhui Town is the official road from the post station to Luodu.
Gao Yuanfeng and his party, a team of more than 100 horses, roared through the street. Although it is not too abrupt, because there are caravans or armies passing by here, and there are many larger teams than this team, but there are still a lot of people who watch the excitement, especially in the recent times when the warriors who go to the capital are intercepted and killed from time to time, this team is still very eye-catching.
Onlookers pointed and guessed which way of the powerful or military warriors were participating in the martial arts, based on the escort of the army. Strangely, however, the army's banner was not the Local Guard, but a blood-colored banner painted with a golden Howling Tiger. Gao Yuanfeng used the banner of the Gao family army as the battalion flag of the ranger battalion, how can the world recognize it?
The one from the Heavenly Eagle Sect was also among the bystanders, he didn't see Xiang Ma and Gao Yuanfeng, but it was enough, because Deng Wei and the others, who had fought with Gao Yuanfeng yesterday, were in high spirits on their horses.
After the team returned to town through the deer, a flying eagle sprang out of the inn window and flew straight into the clouds. Then, the one from the Heavenly Eagle Sect, riding alone, hung behind the ranger camp.
His behavior is not noticeable at all. In addition to him, there are many residents in Luhui Town, who either originally went on the road at this point, or deliberately followed behind the group of people to get a little light. The person from the Heavenly Eagle Sect was mixed in with the travelers in twos and threes, and he was inconspicuous.
At this time, Gao Yuanfeng was sitting in the carriage, neither cultivating nor learning immortal language, but holding three identity jade pendants, his eyes were empty. These three jade pendants from the bag of the noble son on Seahorse Island, he has seen it many times, but he has never seen any fame.
The identity jade pendant is something that only the children of the big forces wear, as a certificate to show people their background identity when they walk the world. These three pieces are obviously the things of the three people who were killed by Xiang's mother.
Gao Yuanfeng pondered why the three of them left Yu Pei on Seahorse Island when they went out. As an eighth-order force second only to the Immortal Sect, are they still afraid that others will know their identity? Who are they afraid of? Under the seventh-order force, they shouldn't care. From this, it can only be the master of this place, the Nine Star Sect. In other words, what they did in this place did not inform the Nine Star Sect, and the Nine Star Sect did not approve of it.
Although the great changes in the world are coming, it is still too early to affect the dispute between the eighth-order sects. What's more, Ye Lao said that what the Patrol Master revealed meant was that the Eighth Order would be disbanded and returned to the direct line of the Immortal Sect.
There will inevitably be misunderstandings between obedience and communication. The envoy's exact words were: 'Collect all the elites of each sect as direct line.' Those who lack skill will be released for exercise. (See Chapter 36 Nonsense Battle) Ye Lao ignored the sentence 'let him go out to exercise', which made Gao Yuanfeng not understand how the disciples of the Eighth Order Heavenly Eagle Sect could appear in the jurisdiction of the Nine Star Sect thousands of miles away, so that he missed a good opportunity to pay attention to his biggest competitor in the Yan Domain in advance.
Today, he neither cultivated nor studied, so naturally he was on guard against the interception of the Heavenly Eagle Sect. More than a month has passed, and the purpose of that person's stay in Qidi can't be to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Xiang's mother's accident probably ruined their plan. Now, there may be a revenge against the high-ranking forces.
At this point, Gao Yuanfeng put away the jade pendant abruptly, and out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the translator in Xiang's mother's hand. When Gao Yuanfeng didn't learn fairy language, Xiang's mother also took the translator to study, the purpose was naturally to help Gao Yuanfeng in the future.
Gao Yuanfeng's heart moved, didn't he come for the Immortal Book? This should be the only thing that can attract the eighth-order forces. As soon as the idea is opened, many things can be explained. It seems that the Eastern Prison has attracted not only the Danxia Gang, the Lifeng Dynasty and the Lilong City, but even the Heavenly Eagle Sect has paid attention.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuanfeng was shocked, no wonder the people of the Heavenly Eagle Sect wanted to leave the identity jade plate, it turned out that the Book of Heaven was not owned by them, but taken from the East Prison. They were probably worried that there were people from the Nine Star Sect in the East Prison. In fact, Han Fengqiu did pay attention to Lu Qiu Xing and the others at first, but was later dispelled by the words of the Patrol Envoy.
It's really complicated, Gao Yuanfeng has a headache. It is necessary to get rid of the immortal book as soon as possible, but whether it is sold or not is worth discussing. If it is handed over to Han Fengqiu, the benefit is that the hatred is transferred, allowing the Nine Star Sect to fight against the hatred of the Heavenly Eagle Sect. But the downside is that the huge wealth in your hand is gone. If you don't pay it, you will have to fight against the huge Heavenly Eagle Sect by yourself, which is similar to asking for money and not dying.
The high wind hesitated. It is said that the choice is not difficult, with the strength he currently has, he is not the opponent of the Sky Eagle Sect at all, and the best plan is, of course, to hand over the immortal book. However, after all, the Heavenly Eagle Sect was thousands of miles away, and if they acted recklessly in the territory of the Nine Star Sect, the Nine Star Sect might not turn a blind eye. The proportions of this, Gao Yuanfeng is uncertain.
Before he could clear his mind, Xiang's mother suddenly put away the translator and said lightly, "They are here." ”
Hearing Xiang's mother's words, Gao Yuanfeng calmed down. The unknown future is like a hanging sword, and it doesn't know when it will fall, which makes people panic. But once you fall and have to face it, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Gao Yuanfeng asked, "How many people, what kind of skill?" concluded that there were only a few people, because it was impossible for superhuman martial artists to go out in a large group, let alone on someone else's territory.
Xiang's mother's face tended to be solemn, "There are not many people, only five." But one of them I can't judge, which means that the skill is not below me. ”
It has been more than 20 miles since Lu returned to the town here, and there are still about 30 miles to Luodu. The land of a flat river is close to the original capital of the Qi Kingdom, so it is impossible for robbers to have them. Deng Yi and others talked and laughed freely, without any sense of tension. Lu Tai originally wanted to get close to Gao Yuanfeng, but Gao Yuanfeng didn't look like a teenager and couldn't come out of the carriage. He had no choice but to collect bits and pieces of Gao Yuanfeng through conversations with Wen Quan and others. So, the two sides talked happily. As a result, the mood of the whole team is relaxed and harmonious.
Seeing that there were suddenly five horsemen side by side in front of them, blocking the official road, Lu Tai, Deng Wei and others didn't react that this was a robbery, and thought that the Luodu guard had learned the news and sent them to guide the way. Of course, their identities are not enough to make the guards everywhere pay attention to them, but Gao Yuanfeng is different, especially the rumors between him and Zhou Feiyan. If the identity of the county horse is confirmed, there are many officials in various places who are willing to show their goodwill.
Deng Wei ridiculed the roadblockers for not understanding the rules, "The guide does not wait for the roadside but blocks the road." Hehe, the etiquette department of the soldiers under General Tang is not very good. The crowd laughed in agreement.
"Stop!" Luo Yuxue suddenly ordered in a loud voice. Well, the Ranger Camp Qizile Horse. Along the way, Gao Yuanfeng was cultivating, and the ranger camp had been training on the march. At this moment, hundreds of people stopped neatly, which is very indicative of the results of the training.
Deng Wei and the others were all soldiers, and they habitually stopped, and then turned back together, looking at Gao Yuanfeng's carriage suspiciously.
Gao Yuanfeng jumped on the roof of the carriage carried by Xiang's mother, glanced at the five people on the road ahead, and then said to Luo Yuxue, Deng Yi and the others: "No matter what happens, you can just drive the horse to Luodu, don't worry about me." "He had to do it because those five were all superhuman. The more than 100 people under his command can be regarded as elite in the regular army, but for those people, they only have to deliver food. Also, he doesn't want his skills and special internal strength to be known to the public, so he is ready to avoid war or change the battlefield.
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to answer, Xiang's mother suddenly rose up with the high wind, flew to the side, flashed and flashed, and flashed towards the woods not far away. At this time, in the carriage, Gao Yuanfeng and Xiang's mother had agreed.
Almost at the same time, someone in front of him shouted, "Where to go!" No one flew up together, abandoning their horses and chasing after Xiangma and Gao Yuanfeng.
Deng Wei and the others were still stunned, and Lu Tai was already shocked, because his eyes were flowering, and Xiang's mother was already in the distance. Said in a tremolo: "She, she, she, Superman?"
Lu Tai's words brought everyone back to their senses, and it turned out that the five people were not their self-righteous guides, but robbers.
"Go and help. Guo Jiafeng shouted, and the prancing horse was about to rush out. Everyone subconsciously wanted to ride their horses, but Lu Tai shouted: "Wait." He didn't have that friendship with Gao Yuanfeng, and he was quite disdainful when he saw that Gao Yuanfeng let the only superman flee with him.
The crowd turned back and waited for his follow-up. Lu Tai was silent, he didn't know how to continue.
At this time, Feng Xin surrounded him, "We can't help if we keep up." ”
Guo Jiafeng was anxious, "Why can't you help?"
Feng Xin said calmly: "Why doesn't Xiang's mother run on horseback?"
"Needless to say. Guo Yehe said angrily: "Xiang's mother is a superman, and her light skills are faster than horses." ”
Feng Xin said: "Look at it, those five people didn't ride horses. ”
Everyone turned their heads together, staring at the five horses abandoned in the middle of the official road. Oh my god, those five are all superhumans.
Feng Xin continued, "Superman has divine sense. Xiang's mother should have known that the five people were all superhuman by virtue of her divine sense. General Gao knew that if we went up, we would also be sent to death, so in order to avoid us being harmed, he took the initiative to lead the enemy away. What we can help is to hurry to Luodu and ask Tang Junshou to send a large army to rescue General Gao. No matter how powerful Superman is, he doesn't dare to shake the army's rush. ”
As soon as Feng Xin analyzed, everyone woke up. Lu Tai was even more ashamed of misunderstanding Gao Yuanfeng.
Wake up and wake up, but hesitate where to go.
Going to Luodu for help seems to be rational, but it is pure self-deception. Thirty miles to Luodu, hurry up and go, nearly an hour. When Tang County is found, it will take some time to ask him to dispatch a large army. The army is dispatched and rushes over, and an hour is definitely not enough. After three or two hours, even if Gao Yuanfeng is fine, will he still be here?
If you don't go to Luodu, with everyone's skills, you really can't do anything.
The controversy of these people did not affect Luo Yuxue. Luo Yuxue's hesitation, so she went alone to help Gao Yuanfeng or take the ranger camp with her. After thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered, "The ranger battalion listens to the order and immediately rushes to Luodu." Yan Qian, take the ranger camp. Don't let down the young master's hard work. After speaking, he took the reins and "Drive!" and galloped in the direction of Gao Yuanfeng's departure.
Yan Qian's nickname was Thief Wind and he was appointed Luo Yuxue's deputy. I wanted to disobey the order and lead the ranger battalion to help the young master, but Luo Yuxue's last words calmed him down. In his understanding, the ranger camp is the foundation of the young master's ambition, and if the first war is completely destroyed, how can the young master's belief in being a master be realized. I had to resist the impulse and lead the crowd to set off.
The five Lu Tai followed the brigade on their own. Deng Yu and the others hesitated for a moment and chose to leave. But the others from Bohai, except for Feng Xin, unexpectedly turned their horses to chase Luo Yuxue.
The stunned faces of Deng Yu and Feng Xin were still on their faces, and a long howl suddenly came from the back of the team. As soon as they turned around, they saw a man flying over the head and shoulders of a soldier of the ranger battalion or with a raised blade, aiming at the chariot with a high wind.
"Grandma, a bear, it's really a bag that everyone can step on!" Lu Tai, who was ashamed of himself for misunderstanding Gao Yuanfeng, was furious, took off the brass mace hanging from the saddle, and slammed it at the man who flew straight in.
As soon as Lu Tai shouted, everyone raised their weapons and attacked the man. The rabbit was anxious and bit people, and the angry people, although their skills were much worse than the other party, but the chaotic attack like a torrential rain also made the person unable to cope for a while. Especially the eight-armed phantom leopard Qi Dabiao, with a halberd in one hand and a machete in the other, rotated like flying, attacking defenselessly.
But that person is indeed not bad, although the soldiers of the ranger battalion flashed to both sides, causing him to fall to the ground without borrowing strength, and fell into the encirclement of everyone, but in the face of danger, the divine consciousness and the aura burst out violently at the same time, interfering with the six senses of the people with the divine sense, suppressing the true qi of the people with the aura, and then dodging to hit Lu Tai with one palm, and the other hand held the sword to fly up and down, knocking away Fan Huai's arrows and the various hidden weapons of the killers. Only Qi Dabiao's crazy slashing caused him a little trouble, and he couldn't dodge it, and was slashed to his waist by the tip of the knife.
The tip of the knife did not break through the body, only through the clothes. One is because he wears a spiritual weapon inner armor, but the skills of the two sides are not at the same level, and Qi Dabiao's machete is blocked by his qigang. Adding the two, Qi Dabiao's knife did not cause him substantial damage, but only made it feel a little painful.
But even this pain made the man furious, and a male lion was actually bitten by an ant. Taking advantage of the moment when Qi Dabiao slashed himself and made a slight move, he flew a sword and stabbed into Qi Dabiao's lower abdomen, and the aura was triggered, directly stirring up Qi Dabiao's internal organs. Qi Dabiao screamed miserably and fell under the horse.
He wanted to intimidate other people in this way, but he didn't want to poke the hornet's nest. Lu Tai and Fan Huai were like brothers and sisters with Qi Dabiao, and they immediately turned red-eyed, roared wildly, and attacked like crazy. Under the influence of Lu Tai Fan Huai, Deng Wei and the others also worked hard to exert 120 percent of their strength, sparing no effort to use their strongest moves.
The man suddenly stumbled and fell into passivity. If he really wanted to fight hard, he might be able to kill all these 100 people, but he himself might not be spared, because the aura in his body was limited. However, his target was not to be the soldiers, but to take a closer look to see if there were any special objects hidden in the wagon.
Due to the limitations of his skills and the distance, he could not gain insight into the situation inside the carriage. It was close now, and he had already finished his scanning, and there was nothing in the carriage except a large barrel. Xiang's mother has a spirit ring, and all items are carried with her.
Since there was nothing in the carriage, the man had no interest in continuing to fight, with a loud roar, he rose from the ground, and hit Deng Wei's horse head with his toes, and then stepped on the roof of the carriage, and the goshawk swept out of the encirclement and chased Luo Yuxue.
