Both the Jinyi Guard and the land and water battalion were already moving very fast, but there were still several groups of men and horses who left the capital faster than them and headed south. However, the capital has a large population, and there are many people who go out of the city and enter the city, and they are not conspicuous.

Fast horses galloped, the sound of hurried horses' hooves knocked on the official road, the crowd of cars and horses on the road saw the smoke and dust in the distance, and they all got out of the way early.

After these three groups of people entered the boundary of Shandong, they did not choose to continue on the official road, but entered one by one small roads and ran to the periphery of various cities.

On the small road in the southeast of Deping County, three people were rushing to Shanghe, and they were riding fast on horses, so the three of them were carrying a face towel to shield them from the wind and sand. One rode in front, two rode behind, and one of the people behind suddenly said, "Brother Liu Sheng, let's rest too, we have driven a hundred miles today, this person can afford it, and the horse can't bear it." The voice was choppy, still tired, almost muffled by the wind, but fortunately, the man named Yanagi had good hearing and still heard it. He didn't look back, still changing his posture with the horse's running, matching with the horse, obviously riding very well, and scolded in a hoarse voice, "What a break, when is this, if the news is not delivered, our master's family will be destroyed, and we will not be able to run the knife at the entrance of the vegetable market." The other shouted with some concern, "Brother Liu Sheng, you said that the eldest young master has been arrested, will it be dangerous this time?" "The wind is getting stronger, and if you don't shout, I'm afraid the people in front of you won't be able to hear clearly. Yanagi shouted, "What do you want to do so much, hurry up and deliver the letter and it's over." When the sky falls, it's not our turn to carry it. After saying that, he continued to concentrate on the road, and the last two stopped talking.

Not far away, a carriage was passing leisurely, and in addition to the coachman, there were four guards, who happened to be guarding the front and rear of the carriage. The carriage was a large four-wheeled carriage, a huge carriage, drawn by four horses, but even then the speed could not be raised on such a small road.

The two teams crossed paths, each side glanced at each other, waited until they staggered past, then let down their guard, and soon, turning along the path, both disappeared from each other's sight.

Suddenly, the horses that the three sat down, two fell, and a group of horses reacted relatively quickly, suddenly the horse's head was raised, the front hooves were raised, and only two hind hooves supported themselves, the horses were fine, and the riders above were thrown into the ground, and they couldn't find the north for a while. But compared to the other two, he's pretty good. The other two flew up directly from the horse, flew seven or eight meters before falling to the ground, one of them landed on the ground with his head, "Kala", it seemed that his neck was broken, and he rolled a few times and then stopped moving. The third one is the one called Yanagi, although he was the first to fly, but with years of martial arts, he changed his posture when he fell, and only suffered some injuries.

The two looked up and saw that it was a hemp rope lying in the middle of the road, and it was just now, tripping over the horse's leg. Liu Sheng endured the pain on his body, and looked around, there were woods on both sides of the path, and there was no movement on the left, either there was no one, or the people inside were well-trained, not miscellaneous fish and rotten shrimp.

Liu Sheng slowly stood up, slowly pulled out his waist knife, and said loudly, "I don't know which way it is, there is an urgent matter in the lower body, if the inferior person leaves, my Hangzhou Liu family will definitely have a heavy reward." As soon as the words fell, with a snort, a cold arrow was shot from the woods, piercing the man who was kneeling and trying to stand up.

At this moment, Liu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, the arrow just now was so powerful, it must be a strong bow, an arrow pierced the heart, obviously the opponent was not an ordinary person, and the arrow shot too fast just now, Liu Sheng couldn't determine the enemy's location at all, he could only know that there was an enemy in the woods on that side. The most important thing is that the enemy did not reply, did not care about the prestige of the Liu family, and saw blood when he shot, and the comer was not good. Yanagi slowly held the knife in front of his chest, forcing out his full potential to see the six paths, listen to all directions, and slowly move his body towards the woods on the side, looking for shelter. On the path, apart from the neighing of the fallen horses, there was only the sound of the cold wind blowing.

Yanagi thought that the other party should be scrupling, in case he didn't shoot a fatal arrow, then the archer would reveal his position, and then it would be inevitable to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Suddenly, at the moment when Yanagi was about to step into the grass, a bow and arrow flew out of the opposite woods, rushing straight to Yanagi's heart, between the lightning and flint, Yanagi blocked it with a knife, and bounced the arrow away, but at the same time, his body was slightly numb, and then a sharp pain came out of his heart, swept through the whole body, and drew all of Yanagi's strength, Yanagi's eyes looked down slightly, and he saw a bow and arrow passing through his heart, only the part of the arrow feathers remained in his body, his eyes widened, and then he fell to the ground, He never got up again, and the leather armor he wore did not protect him.

After a while, a man walked out of the woods on both sides, with a tiger's back and a bee's waist, tall, with an angular face, definitely at the level of a handsome guy, but the two were not very old, and they didn't look like adults, and the most peculiar thing was that the two looked exactly the same.

After the two walked out, they pulled out the sword hanging from their waists and stabbed them all over the corpse again, even if they treated the corpse, the two did not relax their minds, which showed that they were very cautious. Then the three of them touched around, of course, not because they had special hobbies, but to find out the letters hidden on the three of them.

More than a dozen people appeared from the woods on the side, the first one was a middle-aged man, who looked vicious, especially the long scar on his face, which made people shudder, it was none other than Qiu Batian, the big shopkeeper who was officially food first. After Qiu Batian came out, he looked at the twin brothers and scolded, "Why is it so slow, how much time has been wasted, are you two owing to clean up again, this is the first time." The expression was serious and the voice was vicious, but the appreciation and love in his eyes still exposed the heart of the shopkeeper Qiu. The lover brothers all smiled innocently, and said at the same time, "I'm sorry, Uncle Qiu, I won't dare next time." Shopkeeper Qiu glared at them, took the bloody letter, and then turned and walked briskly forward, wiping the blood from the envelope as he went.

Soon the group caught up with the carriage, which seemed to be on an outing, and the carriage stopped, and Qiu Batian came to the window, lowered his voice, and said as gently as possible, "Miss, everything is clean." This is the Epistle. After speaking, the wooden planks of the car window moved away a little, and a white and flawless, slender and slender jade palm stretched out, and he took the letter and immediately closed the car window. A cold voice said calmly, "Miss." Then there was the sound of tearing open the envelope, and a gentle voice sounded, "Uncle Qiu, have all the people they sent out intercepted?" Shopkeeper Qiu lowered his head slightly, "Five dials have been intercepted, and there should be news soon." The gentle voice sounded again, "That's good, fortunately Uncle Qiu." Let's go, get to the capital early. "Yes," replied Shopkeeper Qiu, then straightened up and shouted to the group, "Let's go." ”

In the carriage, a gentle voice whispered to himself, "The Liu family, the Jiangnan clan, has been prominent enough for a long time. ”

The sound of the carriage rattling sounded, and there was silence except for the sound of footsteps.

(It's Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you an early year, and wish you good health and happiness in the new year.) Okay, don't want the red envelope, let's give some collection, recommend and support it, thank you)
