When Yuming and his party walked out of the house, they saw that the sun had already begun to set. The meeting was held from morning to afternoon. And all of them discussed tirelessly for most of the day, and did not eat or rest at noon, and they were not tired at all, and they could be regarded as deeply immersed in it.

Zhang Zhongjian looked down the street at this time and saw that their carriage was parked in an open space more than 20 zhang away. There were also a few carriages of other princes parked there, and a group of coachmen were chatting beside the carriages, but they did not see the coachmen who had driven their carriage before.

"King Zhou, I'll go over and drive the carriage over, you guys wait a while!" Zhang Zhongjian said.

Yu Ming nodded subconsciously, and then waited at the gate of the mansion with Red Sleeves.

After a while, Zhang Zhongjian hurriedly came back and reported: "King Zhou, the other coachmen said that the coachman who drove our carriage said to go to Xiaoxie, and then he never came back, do you want to wait for him?" ”

After hearing this, Yu Ming frowned, he instinctively felt that there was something wrong here. His intuition told him that the driver's absence for a long time was not a small relief.

After looking at the sunset in the sky, Yu Mingfang said in a deep voice: "I don't think there is any need to wait, there are also people in our own soldiers who can drive the carriage, so let's rush back to the post station by ourselves!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian also knew that staying here for a while would be more dangerous, and there was such an important thing as the heirloom jade seal in the hands of the red sleeves, and he couldn't stay for a long time. So he called two soldiers who could drive the horses together, went to the open space over there, and drove the carriage over.

After he opened the door of the carriage, he made a "please" gesture to Yu Ming and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, Mrs. Red Sleeves, please get into the carriage!" ”

When Yuming was about to get into the carriage, Red Sleeves raised his hand to stop him: "Wait! ”

Zhang Zhongjian and Yu Ming were stunned for a moment, not knowing why Red Sleeves said this.

At this time, Red Sleeves carefully checked the carriage for a long time before saying, "You can get on the carriage, there is no drug or poison in the carriage." ”

Only then did the two suddenly realize, and Yu Ming couldn't help but secretly admire that his senior sister was indeed shrewd and capable, bold and careful. With her by his side, he is much more relieved.

After the people got into the carriage, Zhang Zhongjian sat on the front of the carriage with two personal soldiers who were driving the horses, looking around vigilantly.

"Drive!" With the shouts of the soldiers, the carriage rumbled and headed in the direction of the post house.

As soon as they got on, the carriage drove very slowly, and the accompanying soldiers were also very cautious. Fortunately, except for the occasional passerby, there were no accidents.

After walking through the end of Suzaku Street, Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and two more turns will be the post station, and it will be safe at that time.

However, just when the carriage had just reached the end of the street, there was a sudden loud "bang", and the bodies of Yuming and Red Sleeves in the carriage hit the wall of the carriage hard.

The two immediately thought that they had been attacked, so they hurriedly jumped hard, and a "peng" came out of the roof of the car. Only then did they realize that it was another carriage that had crashed headlong into their own carriage, shattering the wheels and axles. I can't go any further.

After landing on the ground, Yuming saw Zhang Zhongjian and several personal soldiers, pulling down the driver of the carriage and the two women in the carriage, and then viciously gesturing with knives, frightening the two women to scream, thinking that they had encountered robbers.

After a while, after Zhang Zhongjian's interrogation, Fang said to Yuming helplessly: "King Zhou, the person in this carriage belongs to the Bai family in the west of the city, and the older woman in the carriage is the wife of the Bai family, who has just returned from burning incense in the Jingnian Zen Temple in the east of the city. The subordinates originally thought that these people were assassins, but after a closer look, they found that neither the coachman, the maid, nor this lady knew martial arts, and it seemed that the collision just now was just a coincidence! Do you want your subordinates to find another carriage? ”

"Forget it! Anyway, it's already very close to the station, so let's walk back! Yu Ming shook his head, he didn't want to be so troublesome. Turn a corner here, and walk down an alley to the post station. Let Zhang Zhongjian find a carriage again, I'm afraid the time spent is enough to get to the post station.

"Subordinates obey!" Zhang Zhongjian was also relieved, if he really wanted to find the carriage, he was not familiar with the life of Luoyang City, and he had to work a lot.

The group abandoned the carriage and walked forward slowly. It didn't take long for them to finish Suzaku Street and turn into another alley. As long as you walk through this alley, you can see the post station.

However, at this moment, Yu Ming suddenly had a sense of danger approaching, and since he had cultivated the Immortal Technique, his sense of the outside world had become much sharper. And this feeling is not one of the five senses, but a natural reaction to the coming danger of human beings.

Yu Ming immediately raised the internal strength of his whole body to the extreme, and watched the movements around him vigilantly. The alley was empty, the shops were closed, and there was silence all around, except for a few where lanterns were still hanging in front of them.

He was suspicious, although Luoyang City can't be compared with the heyday of the Sui Dynasty, but it's not even a person on the street? It's not late at night, and there's something strange about the streets.

Yu Ming then whispered: "The situation is not right! Let's go fast! ”

With that, the group immediately quickened their pace and walked towards the end of the alley, and as long as they passed through this alley, the other end was the metropolis where the post station was located. It is a famous business district in the eastern capital, and there is no chance that no one has passed.

However, at this moment, he heard a low shout, and then the atmosphere suddenly changed, and the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air came.

Yu Ming instinctively lowered his head, only to hear the sound of "pop, pop, pop", and the sharp arrow flew over his head and landed on a wall by the side of the street, and the sharp arrows were all blue in color, obviously coated with poison.

He looked up at the place where the arrow had come from, and saw several masked men in blue emerging from the roof on the left side of the alleyway, all of whom were holding a beaded crossbow in their hands, and their bodies exuded a cold killing aura.

When they saw that Yu Ming had dodged the sharp arrow, they were also slightly stunned, but then they shouted again and again, and the crossbows in their hands were fired one after another, and when they saw the poisonous arrows, they shot at Yu Ming and the others one after another.

Yu Ming secretly screamed badly, he knew that these sharp arrows were all coated with poison, as long as one of them hit, I was afraid that the one who hit would lose his combat effectiveness.

He didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately drew his scimitar, blocked one after another, and knocked dozens of sharp arrows to the ground.

Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian also swung their knives one after another, knocking all the arrows that were fired at them away.

However, the pro-soldiers around them were not so lucky. Although these pro-soldiers are also masters, they are only compared to ordinary soldiers, and compared to Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian, they are far behind. Under the fire of dozens of beaded crossbows, even more than a dozen people were too late to block and were shot by random arrows.

The person who was shot soon oozed black blood from his wound, screamed, and fell to the ground and kept rolling, apparently losing his combat effectiveness.

"Quick! Spread out! Everyone breaks through! Yu Ming shouted.

At this time, the group of blue-clothed masked men had already jumped off the roof, pulled out their machetes, and surrounded Yuming and his party, all with fierce expressions and a desperate style of fighting. The intent is to kill them instantly.

Yu Ming picked off the machete of an enemy in front of him, and then stabbed him in the chest with a backhand, the man screamed wildly, and the wound spurted blood, but he clung to his blade and refused to let go.

At this time, another enemy's broadsword had already slashed over, and Yu Ming had no choice but to let go of the knife in his left hand, and pulled out another scimitar from behind his backhand with his backhand, blocking the enemy's blade, and then flew up with a kick, kicked down the enemy in front of him, and pulled out the scimitar inserted into his chest.

At this moment, Yu Ming and Red Sleeves realized that these enemies were all desperate to fight, and they didn't care about their own life and death. It seems to be a well-cultivated dead soldier, although their martial arts are not high, but there are many of them, and they are all fighting for their lives, completely ignoring life and death, and let their own soldiers suffer heavy casualties in an instant.

However, with a pillar of incense, the ten personal soldiers who came to the mansion with him were killed and wounded. Only he, Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian remained. However, it has also been in danger.

Yu Ming was even more horrified in his heart, the ambush man obviously had a very accurate grasp of his whereabouts, and after he left the carriage, he turned into this secluded alley before launching an ambush, which was obviously carefully planned. Perhaps the previous collision between the carriages was not accidental, but it was hoped that they would leave the carriage so that they could be shot with a crossbow.

He looked around and found that Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian were also being besieged by dozens of dead soldiers, but fortunately, Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts skills were high, and the two of them fought the assassins back-to-back, so they finally managed to hold on.

"Red sleeves, uncle, let's retreat! Can't keep fighting them here! "Yuming knows that this place is no better than Beiping. Luoyang's city guards may not be willing to defend them wholeheartedly.

Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian nodded, and they also realized this.

So the two immediately jumped onto the courtyard wall in the alley, and then split up to break through to both sides.

"Quick! Chase and kill, focus on the woman in red, she has a jade seal on her! A man in blue shouted.

The dead soldiers were slightly stunned, and after hearing the shouts of the leader, they immediately divided into two teams and chased after Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian.
