Chapter 142: Another Encounter
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and it was no longer appropriate to continue to wander on the beams.
Guan Xingji looked from afar, saw the faint ups and downs of the mountains in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Go up the mountain." ”
It's just that no horse can't run there at such a distance.
Just then, a voice came from the street corner below. Guan Xingji stopped, listened intently, and turned his head to make a gesture to Fang Xiao.
Fang Xiao understood.
The few people who spoke below were patrolling infantrymen, who had been busy all night, and were lazy against the corner. A few people chatted with each other, talking about the Assassins' havoc in the town.
These few didn't have any martial arts foundation, so they didn't notice that someone was approaching overhead.
One of them wondered, "What kind of assassin is it that actually turns the city upside down?" ”
Before he could answer him, the men above him swooped down like hungry tigers, and quickly broke their necks.
"Change your clothes." Guan Xingji fast track.
Several of them hid the corpse as quickly as they could, and changed into the armor of the soldiers.
In this way, before the sky is completely bright, you can still be confused for a while.
Gu Pan picked up the dagger in her hand, she also needed a weapon to defend herself.
But now it is horses that are needed even more.
They went round and round the city, thinking that if they could meet the scattered cavalry, they would be able to grab the horses.
Only by grabbing the horse can there be hope. Otherwise, with just two legs, before you can run to the bottom of the mountain, you will catch up.
Luckily, bad luck seems to be coming to an end.
The three of them ran down the street for a short time. Behind him came the sound of horses' hooves.
A squad of cavalry came over, and it was good luck.
The man on the horse was still shouting: "Search carefully, the assassin won't go far!" ”
Guan Xingji immediately shouted: "There seems to be a figure over there!" ”
When the group heard the greeting, they immediately rushed up from the narrow street, and when they saw Guan Xingji's gesture, they passed them and chased after them without stopping.
The last two horsemen of the cavalry had just crossed the three infantrymen, and the ground was dark, as if something had flown over them, obscuring their vision. They haven't figured it out yet. Before I could scream. The neck was twisted off by two pairs of big hands.
The corpse was kicked off, and the two men who had done it sat down steadily, glancing at each other with satisfaction. Fang Xiao bent down and stretched out his hand to grab Gu Pan, who was standing stupidly, and lifted her onto the horse.
The two horses barely stepped on their steps. The owner has already changed. The man running in front of him didn't notice anything. The last two cavalrymen. has been replaced.
Wait for the horse team in front of them to spare a turn and gradually run away. Then the two turned their horses' heads and galloped to the foot of the mountain.
Ran for a while. Getting closer and closer to the mountain, and with no pursuers behind them, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looks like it's about to escape.
Gu Pan remembered that Guan Xingji had said that as long as he entered the mountain, no one would be able to catch up with him, it seemed that he was a master of survival in the wild, I don't know if this mountain is difficult for him?
Her smile only grew a little, and when she got closer, the smile on her face disappeared.
It turns out that at the foot of this mountain, there is even a checkpoint.
This level looks like a large scale, built into a stronghold, with a bamboo building, and it is still two floors above and below.
It was empty, and their horses hadn't approached yet, and the soldiers guarding the checkpoint had noticed it and lowered the stone gates that blocked the way.
There are two rows of people above and below the bamboo building, holding bows and arrows, and they are waiting for the battle.
Guan Xingji immediately shouted: "Brother, it's my own people, I'm here to deliver the news!" ”
The one at the head looked like a small leader, and when he saw Guan Xingji's dress, he relaxed a little and waved his hand.
The row of soldiers facing them below lowered their arrows, but the row of bows and arrows above was still facing them, as if they had not let their guard down.
The precautions here are very cautious.
The two men found it a little tricky.
There were soldiers up and down the place, and there were stone gates blocking the way. This road is narrow, and it is very difficult to solve so many people at the same time, and to protect Gu Pan.
Guan Xingji's brain was so fast that he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. But having come this far, it's impossible to go back. So I can only go forward and see the opportunity again.
When they got near, the leader asked, "What's the news in the city?" ”
Guan Xingji said: "That assassin has been exposed!" Got around town all night! Let us inform you that you should guard this checkpoint and don't let people get into the mountains. ”
The leader said, "Troubled all night? You're about to catch it, right? “
Guan Xingji said: "I've been trapped in the city, and the prince is in charge himself, so I definitely can't run away." ”
The leader nodded, laughed and said, "Wait and relax, there is Big Brother Zhang guarding here, no one can go up!" Even if the assassins come here, as long as Brother Zhang makes a move, he will definitely be able to capture them! ”
Someone chimed in: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhang is thinking of meeting this assassin in person!" If you come, it's just time to practice for Brother Zhang. ”
Guan Xingji smiled with him: "Yes, yes." "Say in my heart, yes fart! What the hell, dare to be arrogant in front of me Guan.
If he didn't want to run away, according to his temperament, he would definitely rush up and teach this surnamed Zhang a lesson. Beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, looking for teeth all over the ground, to see if he still dares to speak out?
At this time, a voice came down from the second floor: "Who is coming?" ”
This is a rough voice, it sounds like there is a bit of internal force, but this bit of internal force is not a fart in the eyes of Guan Xingji and Fang Xiao. Could it be that the person is that Brother Zhang?
Sure enough, the little leader at the bottom replied: "Back to Escort Zhang, it was someone from the city who sent a letter saying that the assassins had been making trouble in the city all night, and the little ones were ordered to be strictly guarded. ”
The eldest brother's voice came down again: "I know, you guys are so watching!" The voice snorted again: "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags!" There are so many people, I can't even catch two or a few small goods! ”
Guan Xingji said to the little leader: "This big brother, we have been busy all night, and we have rushed to deliver the letter, can you give us saliva to drink?" ”
The little leader nodded, and when they got closer, he handed them a couple of water bladders.
The group of people upstairs finally relaxed, put down their bows and arrows, and retracted.
Guan Xingji took the water bladder, felt that this was a good opportunity, and was about to go to the other party's Xiao eyes, and act at the same time.
Suddenly, the guard's voice came again: "Why do you two ride the same horse?" ”
It turned out that the man poked his head down, and was looking at them with a frown.
Guan Xingji said: "There was a fierce fight in the city just now, and this brother horse was a little injured, and when he came all the way, the horse was killed." ”
Zhang Huwei glared and said, "I'm asking them, don't they speak?" (To be continued.) )
