Chapter 172: The Little Station

This is just the first wave of killings······

Xu Yi seemed to be underestimating the killer a little, his mood was a little relaxed, he should eat and sleep, and he was much more relaxed than the first three days. And Yingniang became more and more tense.

For the understanding of the rivers and lakes, Yingniang is more familiar with Xu Yi and even these military men. Yingniang has also followed her master to break through, and it is absolutely impossible for a bounty of one hundred taels of gold to be just a few goods.

This attack and killing, that is, if Yingniang doesn't make a move, Xu Yi doesn't throw gunpowder bullets, just Zhao Zhonghan and the people of Gongming Hall can stop this group of killers. It's clear that the killer of the real overweight is yet to arrive.

Ying Niang is familiar with the habits of killers, and the more relaxed the hunting target, the more time to attack.

Even, the more masters in the killers, the less likely they are to be in groups, and the more surprising the means. However, this attack and killing were not eye-catching at all.

Xu Yi was really relaxed. Except for a few gunpowder rounds that were not removed from the sleeve cage, even the armor was no longer lined. Ying Niang didn't stop it, sometimes the inner armor is likely to be a burden.

Xu Yi accompanied Zhao Zhonghan and his group, and also rode a horse, walking side by side with Lao Liu, listening to them reminisce about their enthusiasm when they were in the Western Regions, and interjecting a few words from time to time.

Xu Yi is a little interested in Lao Liu, which is also the reason why Zhao Zhonghan intends to recommend and Liu Han intends to make friends, both of which tell about Liu Han's achievements in his early years as a government soldier in the Western Regions.

Today's itinerary did not arrive at the expected post station due to the attack, and seeing that the sky was already dark, the team arrived at another post station.

This is indeed a post station, or a military post, which is in the list.

"Let's spend the night here tonight. For the rest of the trip, you need to implement a second set of plans, and be prepared to be flexible at any time. ”

Taking advantage of the time of assassination to return to Chang'an, Xu Yi originally wanted to delay the time to return to Chang'an, hoping to stagger the chaotic situation in the court and not touch the cause and effect of those court battles.

In the beginning, there were preparations for an overnight stay at an unplanned post station, and even camping. To this end, Xu Yi also improved the military tents at this time, and found craftsmen in Caozhou to make some sleeping bags.

Xu Yi decided to stay at this post station, and Zhao Zhonghan moved forward, and he was ready to enter the post station to investigate······ Anytime you move in, you have to be inquired into.

"Stop!"

As soon as Zhao Zhonghan's horses broke away from the large army, Yingniang shouted: "Shoot an arrow first!" ”

Zhao Zhonghan didn't know why, and looked back at Xu Yi.

This is a military post, and firing crossbow arrows at a military post means a provocative attack on the military ranks, and the soldiers in the post can fight back.

"Listen to Yingniang!"

Although Xu Yi didn't understand Yingniang's intentions, he still supported Yingniang's decision.

An arrow, shot from Liu Han's hand, was somewhat scruples, and he did not release the arrow towards the main room of the post station, and the direction of the shot, according to the layout of the post station, should be the direction of the thatched house.

In the evening, there are no pedestrians on this section of the road, and the post station built on the mountain is very quiet.

The sound of the arrows being shot was a bit louder at this moment, and the sound of "whoosh" sounded, and standing ten paces away from the post door, it seemed that the buzzing sound of the arrows falling on the wooden plank.

Waiting for the angry scolding to come from the inn, but everything was quiet.

At this time, everyone was on alert.

"I'll go in and take a look!"

After Yingniang finished speaking, Xu Yi didn't have time to reply, Yingniang had already floated over the outer wall of the post station.

Xu Feng followed. The other cadres of Xu Yi's group quickly gathered around Xu Yi and surrounded Xu Yi tightly.

"Go in and have a look!"

Lao Liu shouted at Zhao Zhonghan, drove the horse forward, and when the war horse was about to hit the outer wall of the post station, he pulled the reins of the horse, and the person took off from the horse's back······ This Lao Liu is not only a military man, but also a practitioner.

At this time, the silence of this place can be heard, and the footsteps of Yingniang, Xu Feng and Liu Han in the post station can be heard, but there is no voice.

"This station has been revoked?"

"I don't know. It is said that this is a military post and it is impossible to revoke it. ”

Ling Fengzi and Zhao Zhonghan chatted casually, not really to understand the current situation of this post station, but to make a little noise, this quiet energy made people too uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the post station is not big, and after a while, Yingniang came out with Xu Feng, and Liu Han also came out.

"There was no one, like a soldier leaving to run errands. There was no smell of blood, and everything in the room was untouched. Xu Yi, I recommend sleeping out tonight! ”

"Jin Chenghou, what this housewife said is very true, and the old man also suggested sleeping outside the post station. At the beginning of the year, the old man went to Bianzhou, passed by this post station, and also entered the door to ask for water to drink, the post station was not revoked, but no soldier was present. The old man thought that there must be something hidden. ”

The two people who entered the post station said this, although Xu Yi had the heart to go in and have a look, he was still as good as a stream.

At this time, there is no need to be sloppy, Xu Yi is cautious and cautious.

There are rules for people sleeping in the wild, such as sheltering from the wind, such as mountains, etc., in general, all people who sleep in the wild have the customary habit of choosing a location, and they are generally the same.

Xu Yi is no exception.

Looking left and right, they all walked in one direction.

It was a low-lying area, with slightly raised ridges on three sides, and the dry grass in this low-lying area seemed to be vigorous. In the Qingming season, the ground temperature is not high, and such a thick withered grass can save the coolness of the ground.

The ridges on three sides block the wind, and at the same time there is a bare bluestone face, which seems to be able to avoid the attack of snakes and insects.

"It's very fragrant."

I don't know who muttered like this, it should be one of Liu Han's gang.

Ling Fengzi is very aware of preaching and solving doubts: "The slopes on three sides are pine, this is the fragrance of pine·······"

"Wait, stop!"

People are already halfway into the low-lying land, and they are indeed sheltered from the wind. At this time, Xu Yi shouted to stop.

"I want to ask, what would you think if you met a post station where there should be people but there was no one?"

"Sleeping in the open, of course!"

"Then take a look, can you see that there is a more suitable place to sleep than this place?"

Xu Yi asked again.

At this time, Yingniang was the first to react, grabbed Xu Yi, quickly retreated, and even kicked away the people who followed behind with a few kicks in succession: "Leave quickly!" ”

The smooth part of the ridge is about ten meters, and it is early spring, although the wind is there, it is not strong, it is such a breeze, it is difficult to bring the smell of rosin to this low-lying land.

When Xu Yi said rosin in Ling Fengzi, the first thing that came to mind was pine resin, which was combustible and combustible. Once there is pine resin to fuel the fire, the dead grass in the low-lying ground is enough for all thirty or fifty of them to be burned here.

Xu Yi didn't dare to be sure, but Yingniang dared. Although Yingniang has never seen such a technique, she has also seen it in the records of the master.

The strangeness of the post station made her mind think about the post station all the time, but she forgot to think about the surrounding environment.

Maybe it was because Xu Yi withdrew from the low-lying land as soon as possible, and after all the people withdrew, there was nothing abnormal. This is also very confusing, especially some people who were kicked away by Yingniang.

Of course, it's just that those people brought by Liu Han have opinions, and for Xu Yi and their own family, they will only accept being kicked by Yingniang.

"Leave some. Lao Zhao, shoot a rocket and see ······"

Xu Yi is uncertain, just skeptical.

At this time, it needs to be verified, not to prove his guess, but to take into account that Liu Han's group of people escorted him all the way, and he was unexplained and made people kick him, for fear of resentment.

Xu Yi has the heart to accept this group of people.

Just after Xu Yi spoke, Zhao Zhonghan ignited the rocket, and it was already dark at this time.

A rocket was launched, and it felt like it hadn't hit the ground yet, and with a "boom", the fire was rising······

"It's not a fire that withered grass can burn, it's pine resin!"

Xu Yi also had to admire, this time he met not only a killer, but also a master who understands psychology.
