Chapter 467: Change in the Road
Just when Liu Xie thought that the men in black had already left, the carriage had already sped up and drove out of Luoyang.
After walking forward for more than ten miles, he came to the mountain road gradually, at this time he suddenly faintly heard a strange sound, he could easily judge that it was those people in black, someone was following from a distance, this is not strange. What made him feel strange was that at about a distance in front of him, there was also a group of people who had been keeping an eye on them.
Liu Xie was taken aback, the people behind him have been following him, but he can still understand. But the people in front of them can keep such a distance all the time, and the direction is still right, that can only mean one thing, these people already know their destination, and at the same time know the route of their group very clearly.
Liu Xie couldn't help frowning, and after Ma Yunlu saw it, he asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Liu Xie shook his head gently, made a soft gesture with his finger on his lips, and then pointed to the back and front, signaling that someone was following. The reason why he was so careful was because he had been followed by Cao Zhi before, he had just come down the mountain and was plotted by the gray pigeon Li Liang and others, but fortunately he was rescued by Zhen Mengyao, but he met Cao Zhi who was jealous, at that time Cao Zhi had been following them for five or six days in a row, and the movements around him for two or three miles could not escape his observation at all. Therefore, since he now suspects that it is the people of the Cao family who are following him, it is inevitable that they also have such skills, and it is even possible that one of them is Cao Zhi. It was better to be careful and decided not to speak again.
Liu Xie asked Xiahou and the others to speed up, at this time the sky was already dark, they were speeding up in the sparsely populated way, no longer paying attention to those who were following, until the sky was completely bright, at this time the morning glow was already reflected on the road, the morning light made the trees on the side of the road emit a warm light, and the sound of those who followed closely became farther and farther away, and in the end it was already looming, until there was no sound at all.
Liu Xie's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he didn't sleep all night, coupled with the sudden relaxation, he suddenly felt a little sleepy. He and Ma Yunlu snuggled up to each other and fell asleep in the carriage.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near, each sound seemed to be knocking and making his heart tremble slightly, and Liu Xie was suddenly awakened. When he woke up, he found that Ma Yunlu was still snuggled in his arms, which made it a little difficult for him to move, so he could only maintain a sitting posture and listen intently to the sound of horses' hooves.
From the sound, it was just a mount, but the horse galloped very fast, and in an instant it had come to the front of the carriage, which made Liu Xie's heart suddenly rise to his throat, ready for any movement. But the ride did not stop, but passed directly by the carriage, and the speed did not decrease at all, and galloped forward at a rapid pace.
It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves went away that Liu Xie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a false alarm, and it was not a group of people who changed people at that time, but passers-by who were in a hurry.
Just when he wanted to continue sleeping, Xiahou outside said in a deep voice: "Young Master Yun, I found that something is wrong with the situation. ”
Liu Xiedao: "What's the matter, Mr. Xiahou?" ”
Xiahou said: "Although it is daytime now, the person riding on the ride just now is still covered in black clothes and black cloth, and it should be from yesterday's group." ”
Liu Xie was taken aback and said: "I also said that it was another passerby, if you say this, it should be the assassin who passed just now, it seems that they are ready to make a move." ”
Xiahou paused and said, "Young Master Yun, what should I do?" ”
Liu Xie knew that in the current situation, the people who were the backbone of the backbone here were the only ones themselves, and they all had to act according to their own arrangements, so he said at the moment: "Let's continue to move forward, but Amei and Aju, the two of you, are three feet away in front of the carriage, pay attention to the movement in front of you at any time, and be careful of ambushes!" ”
Ah Mei and Ah Ju agreed, and immediately urged the horse forward, pulling some distance from the carriage.
As soon as they left, there was a rush of horses' hooves in front, but this time it was the sound of two horses, Liu Xie couldn't help frowning, shook Ma Yunlu gently, and said, "Luo'er, wake up, there is a situation." ”
Ma Yunlu woke up in a daze, muttered, and said, "Brother, what's wrong...... " Without waiting for Liu Xie to answer, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, and suddenly came to his senses, his expression changed, and said, "Brother Yun, what's going on?" ”
Liu Xie said: "Don't panic, this is the second wave of assassins, and now it's not time to make a move, just now there was a assassin who passed." ”
Ma Yunlu suddenly took out the long sword, and I was in my hand, waiting intently.
The two fast horses passed the carriage again quickly, this time on either side of the carriage, and it was not necessary to look at it to know that they were further observing the carriage, and perhaps it was not long before they had left their hands.
Sure enough, not long after the cool skin fast horse passed, and after traveling less than a mile or so, it immediately turned around, and suddenly there was one more fast horse, and two became three. Just when Liu Xie's attention was focused on the back, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front, and three fast horses galloped from the front.
Listening to them getting tighter and tighter, Liu Xie also waited intently, and when they were less than ten zhang apart from each other, there was a sudden light roar in the mountains and forests of Jingdong, only to hear the rumbling mountain stones rolling down in front of them.
As soon as there was a movement outside, Xia Hou immediately said in a deep voice: "Fairy, but we have to do it, we are ready to break through." As he spoke, he urged the horses to hurry, only to hear the neighing of the two horses that were pulling, and immediately rushed forward in a cart of four horses, and encountered a stone in front of him, and the carriage also turned around quickly, and immediately shook violently, almost lifting the people in the carriage.
Ma Yunlu let out a coquettish cry, plunged directly into Liu Xie's arms, and hugged him tightly, the two of them were able to stabilize their figures, Yunfei felt the bad warm fragrant nephrite, and suddenly thought of that time on the road in the mountains, when they met the man in black, their carriage fell from the cliff.
At the moment, I couldn't help but tighten my heart, picked up the curtains of the car, looked outside, but saw the mountains and forests on the side of the road, I don't know when many soldiers appeared, they shouted and threw stones at the carriage, less than five zhang in front of them, there was a big stone blocking the middle of the road, leaving only a bright carriage next to the gap, at this time Amei and Aju had already crossed the boulder, but saw a rain of arrows shooting over, directly forcing the two to retreat.
Just when they retreated, the carriage had come to the front, Xiahou roared, took out a shield from under the seat, directly blocked the front, and urged the carriage to go ahead, while Amei and the other four took the opportunity to hide behind the carriage and use the cover of the carriage body to move forward.
Seeing that the carriage was about to cross the boulder, Liu Xie was suddenly startled, it turned out that he saw three mounts waiting there behind the boulder, and three black-clothed people were sitting on top of the horses, staring at the carriage that was flying over, but they didn't move.
