Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mountain Trail
Feng took almost a thousand light horsemen with him when he went to gallop, so there were about 1,000 people left in Ying Xu's party, including 1,000 light horsemen led by Wang Xin, Yitun guards led by Zhang Hu, and some people who ate white rice, such as Wu Feng, Xian Xuan, Zhang Liang and others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Under Han Sui's arrangement, the carriage was reduced to seven two-horse carts, and early the next morning, the convoy abandoned the gallop road and took the county road, although it was a big road, it was much worse than the galloping road, mostly uneven roads, Ying Xu was shaken from side to side in the carriage, and the dry food he ate in the morning was turned up and down in his stomach. I finally grabbed the window of the car and saw Hei Bo and the others walking freely on their horses. Ying Xu feels that being able to ride a horse is like being able to drive, and he must learn it quickly so as not to suffer in the carriage.
In the past two days, although Ying Xu was displaced by the five organs in the carriage, he still insisted on camping and sleeping at night, and got up in the morning to walk about 200 miles a day. But these people walked extremely fast, and none of them pulled back.
"How do we march in front of Childe!" Wang Xin came back and asked.
Ying Xu listened to Wang Xin's report and knew that his group was about to leave Sanchuan County, and now they went to the corpse county of Sanchuan County, and in front of them was the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains and the branch veins of the Kushan Mountains. Pishan starts from the north of Yang, stretches to Guangwu Mountain, about more than 300 miles, if you enter the Pishan Mountain Range, you can change into a straight, do not need to go south along the gallop road and go north, you can save more than ten days of travel. However, the peaks of the mountain are numerous, the trees are numerous, and the bandits are endless, so the mountain trail is rarely passed by merchants. After the first emperor's chariot inspection meeting, he will go north to Langxi. Ying Xu intends to play halfway, and there will be no big mistakes in time. The time difference between myself and I hit is here, so the mountain trail must be taken.
"Let's go from the mountain trail, so that we can catch up with the Father Emperor before he arrives in Langxie County." Ying Xu looked at the continuous mountains and said.
And at this moment, on the mountain trail, a veiled woman is riding a horse and galloping, leaving a blood stain on her left leg. Behind her was a group of strong men, who held regular scimitars in their hands, and at the back a strong man rode a large brown horse and held a long sword with a hard bow. Faster. It was the string dance that ran in front of her, but how could she be hunted down and killed according to her martial arts, this has to start from the string dance entering the mountain.
After Xianwu escaped from Sanchuan County, he planned to temporarily settle in a bandit den familiar in Bishan. Maybe it's her bad luck, this month, because the First Emperor's convoy is going to pass through Sanchuan County, so the Sanchuan County Guard will send troops to block the large and small exits around Pishan, and they are only allowed to enter but not leave, and this gang of bandits just sold their own grain reserves to Xianwu Pavilion and became a rich family, but they have no money to spend, and they dare not go out of Bishan to buy grain. The idea was hit to Sima Zhuang in the mountains, Sima Zhuang originally had only a few dozen households, and when there was no food, the bandit boss would take his minions to Sima Zhuang to collect grain, and Sima Zhuang always obediently put the grain at the entrance of the village for them to take. The boss also felt that Sima Zhuang was doing very well, so he regarded Sima Zhuang as his own land and did not go to harm. But since the collapse of the Zhao State, Sima Zhuang has come to many people one after another, although the grain is still handed over every year, but there are more and more people in the cottage in recent years, which food is enough to eat. So this year, the bandit boss released a rumor that Sima Zhuang would pay an extra 3,000 stone of grain this year, otherwise Sima Zhuang would be washed in blood. When the bandit boss took people to collect grain happily, Sima Zhuang rushed out of nearly 300 strong men to kill the bandits and fled back, Sima Zhuang people were obviously prepared to meet more than 100 light horsemen on the road, the bandit boss was also shot to death, when the bandits fled back to the cottage, the string dance also happened to drag the tired body to stand at the gate of the village. Xian Wu sneered at the lifeless bandits who fled back and the light horsemen chasing behind, thinking that they were just a group of farmers and what kind of powerful role could they have. He picked up a short sword and threw it over, and the light rider who rushed to the front fell off his horse on the spot. The second master who stayed in the village was also a ruthless character, and he knew that there would only be one left in the mountain after that, and then he saw that the string dance had another confidence, and when he sold grain in the string dance pavilion, he had seen the skills of the string dance pavilion and others, and at this time the string dance shot a farmer to stabilize the situation. The people in the stockade also rushed out to respond, and the strong man who led the light cavalry saw that he couldn't do anything, so he gathered his hands and slowly retreated. Originally, this matter and the string dance had nothing to do with it. But Xianwu saw that there were nearly a thousand bandits in the cottage, and their big boss died and the second master was very obedient to himself, so he wanted to subdue these bandits for his own use, and when he assassinated the first emperor again, he could also use these people to block arrows.
After resting in the bandits' den for a day, Xianwu instructed the second master to guard the gate of the village, Xianwu just wanted to be a farmer, kill himself and then let the bandits collect the corpses, so that they could see how powerful they were, and they could be used by her in the future. But there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, Xianwu never expected that after she killed seven or eight farmers from the first village, an arrow came straight into her heart, Wu learned her realm, and felt very sensitive to the outside of the body, but she had no time to dodge the arrow, and could only avoid the fatal part. The arrow plunged into the left leg of the string dance. Xianwu looked up and saw a strong man wrapped in animal skins fifty zhang away, and the second arrow was aimed at her again, Xianwu didn't have time to think about it, turned over and got off the village wall, and rode a horse and galloped wildly. I can't imagine that a small mountain has such a strong archery person. My string dance came out this time, everything went wrong!
When the strong man wrapped in animal skin saw that the wounded woman had gone up to the bandits' camp with the speed of her horse, he gathered his bow and beat the horse and turned away.
"Father, why don't we wipe out this gang of bandits in one fell swoop!" The fur man asked a white-haired old man who was playing against him.
"Ang, in the past, they kept Sima Zhuang in captivity, and now Sima Zhuang wants to keep them in captivity. Remember that our biggest enemy is the Qin people now, and if we win the government, we will always keep them in captivity. The old man raised his hand and said.
"Lord Sima is high-minded, Zhao Xie admires!" The man sitting across from the old man said.
"Gongzi Xie compliments."
"Lord Sima, I heard that Ying Zheng was assassinated in Bolangsha, but he is still safe and sound!" Zhao Xie sighed.
"The prince promises to wait for time, not to take this risk, the world will be in chaos after the collapse of the first emperor. At that time, my Sima clan will be the assistant prince and restore the old country. ”
"The Sima clan should be the pillar!"
The animal skin man grew up in Sima Zhuang since he was a child, and he didn't treat the son in front of him very much, this guy would always take a group of people to the village to eat and drink for a while, and his father would be happy after saying some nonsense. Hearing that his father began to talk nonsense again, he withdrew and went to the backyard to practice archery with a bow.
At this time, Xian Wu, who was in the bandit's den, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow inserted into his thigh, and said to the second master:
"The master of this pavilion went out today and happened to meet the ambush of the enemy family and Sima Zhuang and was injured by a hidden arrow, and he needs to recuperate for some time, and he must close the gate of the village in these days."
"The main cottage of the String Pavilion is about to run out of food."
"Then go grab it!" String Dance flicked his sleeve and said.
"Lord Xian Pavilion, the Qin army of Sanchuan County has been everywhere this month. I waited until I couldn't get out before I wanted to borrow grain from Sima Zhuang, but Sima Zhuang not only didn't borrow it, but also took the life of the big boss. ”
"Sima Zhuang can't eat, isn't there a small village around? Hold on for a few more days and go outside to grab it. When the master of this pavilion is injured, I will take you and others to level Sima Zhuang. "Where has Xianwu been so angry, if he wasn't careless, how could he be injured by a hunter.
The second master has never been angry with a woman, but seeing that this person's martial arts are strong and can use his strength to eliminate the hidden danger of Sima Zhuang, he reluctantly withdrew from the room and arranged for the minions to scavenge for food.
