Chapter 10: Disaster in the Canyon
Chapter 10: Disaster in the Canyon
Under the scorching sun, Zhiyi and Yan'er were sweating profusely in the galloping carriage, today is the fifth day of the journey, and a few people on the way basically did not rest except for staying in the hotel at night.
Zhiyi took a sip of water, then passed the kettle through the curtain of the carriage and handed it to Tang Yunchen, "Third brother, drink some water." ”
Tang Yunchen took the kettle and took a few sips, "Zhiyi, don't worry, if nothing else, according to the current progress, it is estimated that you will be able to reach your destination in two or three days." ”
"Don't worry, you can roast people on this hot day, and the bad guys are hiding at home to enjoy the cold."
"Well, it's better to come, drink more water." Tang Yunchen handed the kettle back and quickened the whip again.
In the evening, the group walked into a valley, the valley is remote, the terrain is dangerous, and the only passage across the mountain is very narrow, Tang Yunchen subconsciously slowed down the speed of progress.
Retreated to the side of the carriage and whispered to Zhiyi: "This valley seems to be unusually quiet, looking at the terrain, it must not be an ordinary valley, we try to pass through it as carefully as possible, hoping not to alarm the gods of all walks of life on this mountain, if something happens, remember to hide in the carriage and don't come out." ”
Zhiyi poked her head out, looked at the valley in front of her, and retracted her head with a hum, and her heart began to tense.
Tang Yunchen rode a horse and walked in front, seeing that the valley was halfway through, his heart was not a little at ease.
"Hahaha......"
A rough, hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the valley.
Everyone's nerves instantly tensed again.
"In Xia Nai passing through this place, if you are disturbed, please bear with me, and I hope that all the gods will raise their noble hands and let us go." Tang Yunchen pulled the horse slightly.
"Hahaha..." the voice continued to wander through the valley.
Tang Yunchen thought to himself, since the person behind him didn't come forward, why not speed up the horse's hooves and rush out of this canyon, so he turned his head and glanced at several guards and coachmen.
Everyone rushed out quickly, and when they were about to turn out of the rugged valley, a group of people in front of them blocked the exit.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you so grinding." It was the burly leader who spoke, and this deep voice came from the same person as the haha that came from the valley.
Tang Yunchen visually estimated that there were two or three hundred people in front of him, and it would not be a big problem if he broke into it alone, but now, although Zhi Yi is proficient in hidden weapons, he basically does not know martial arts, and there is still a chance of winning a few duels, all of which are to blame for the fact that his father specially invited the ancestor of the hidden weapon Thirteen Niang to teach him personally in order for Zhi Yi to protect herself, but he strictly forbade Zhi Yi to practice martial arts with a knife and a gun, for fear of affecting her beautiful image. And Yan Er is even more powerless, there are many people in front of him, and it must not be easy to take the two of them out safely.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next few are just passing through here, can you make it convenient?" Tang Yunchen dismounted, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully.
"Big brother, he said it's convenient, hahahaha...... It's really funny, we are inconvenient to give people a walk. Next to the leader, a small man with a large knife, replied, laughing and shaking his beard.
"Don't talk nonsense, this road is open for me, this tree is planted for me, I want to cross this road, and leave the money to buy the road." The leading brother on the side shouted loudly, quite a thief.
When Zhiyi in the carriage heard this, he was also anxious, if this fights, he will not be able to get benefits, since the other party wants money, give it to him. So he instructed Yan'er beside him: "You stay in the carriage first, watch the luggage, sort out most of the gold and silver jewelry, and I'll go down and have a look." ”
Zhiyi walked to Tang Yunchen's side, and when he saw that Tang Yunchen was ready to fight, he pulled his sleeve.
"Heroes, since this road is opened by you, we should leave the money to buy the road, and I hope you can let us go safely."
"It's still this little girl who is reasonable." He rubbed his beard, touched his beard, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Just how many of you still talk to me about terms? Hahaha...... It's just that this little girl has a lot of weight, why don't you go back with me to be Mrs. Zhai? ”
"You ......" Tang Yunchen was angry when he heard this, and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Zhiyi.
"Don't go too far with this hero, we are people from the court, why don't we make it convenient for everyone, it's thankless to go against the court." Zhiyi's tone was heavy, hoping that moving out of the court could suppress this group of arrogant people.
"Big brother..."The bearded man leaned in the leader's ear and said a few words, the two discussed, and the leader seemed to hesitate for a while, and then said: "Okay, since I am a person in the court, then the king and I will definitely give a few thin noodles, so let's do it, little beauty, you stay, and the others can take away with their money." ”
"Bold! Arrogant, do you know who you are?! Tang Yunchen reprimanded angrily.
"Needless to say, this sharp-toothed little beauty in front of me must be my wife." The leader smiled lewdly and poked his hand.
"So brazen, see if I don't teach you a lesson." After saying that, Tang Yunchen rushed over, and several guards also flew out to block it, and the two sides became one.
Zhiyi has never experienced such a scene since she was a child, and she has never used the hidden weapon in her hand to kill anyone, and she doesn't know what to do if she is protected by Tang Yunchen at this time.
Tang Yunchen and the others killed for a few rounds, but the bandits in front of them continued to hug them, and then pulled Zhiyi to retreat to the carriage while fighting.
The leader seemed to see his intentions, and as soon as he kicked his feet and flew in front of Tang Yunchen, the two fought, after all, the leader was the king of Yizhai, and he had a good kung fu, Tang Yunchen had to push Zhiyi aside, and then take the offensive.
The beard came out of the side at some point, and sprinkled a handful of white powder on Zhiyi, and Zhiyi lost consciousness. was secretly taken away from the side by the beard.
Tang Yunchen fought with the bandits for a few more rounds, and the leader suddenly shouted to everyone, "Withdraw!" Then a large crowd retreated out of the valley.
Tang Yunchen wondered, why did these bandits suddenly let go of the fat in their mouths?
"Zhiyi...... Zhiyi, what about Zhiyi? Tang Yunchen seemed to realize something, looking for Zhiyi everywhere, "It's bad, you chase after me, ...... quickly"
"Childe, don't be impulsive." A guard named Chen Ping beside him stopped Tang Yunchen, "The terrain here is complicated, we are not familiar with it, and there are a large number of bandits, so there must be no return for this trip." ”
"Zhiyi was arrested, how can I calm down? How to calm down? Tang Yunchen bumped into Chen Ping.
"Stay here in this green mountain, so that you can plan to save the young lady, I hope that the prince will think twice" Chen Ping and the other guards ran to Tang Yunchen and knelt down to plead.
"Get up." Tang Yunchen took a deep breath and stabilized his feelings, after all, what they said was reasonable, "Chen Ping, you and Yang Zi stay to inquire about the situation, and the others will go with me first, go through the valley, meet at the inn in front, and make plans then." ”
