1. Killing machine on a snowy night
In the fifth year of the first peace, in winter, the snow covered the ground, and it was difficult for people and horses to walk.
In the luxury carriage, Yuan Shang subconsciously tightened his collar, the carriage was not cold, even warmer, the car was covered with thick animal fur, there was no trace of cold wind that could be poured into the carriage while the cracks were made, and there were several small stoves in the corner, and the high-quality charcoal smoke in the stove lingered, baking the entire carriage warm, even so, Yuan Shang still had a slight blue corner of his mouth, the injury he suffered last month had not completely recovered, and in this cold weather, there were bursts of severe pain from time to time that made him frown slightly, The warmth in the carriage had been done well enough, but it still made him feel the cold that had soaked into his bone marrow from time to time.
The carriage of the carriage is very large, this luxury carriage is his personal property, of course, he is not alone, in addition to the old servant who is driving, he is accompanied by only a girl in black with a sword, this is a very peculiar picture, a beautiful woman as a companion, there is no wind and snow, but the silence in the carriage is terrible, Yuan Shang's eyes are slightly blind, as if he is not sleeping, even so, the girl in black still saw that the former's seemingly lazy body still maintained the best posture of violence and murder, the girl in black did not care, her slender fingers on the scabbard slightly soothed, for her, In this world, there is no one in this world who is worthy of her trust except for the sword in her arms, even the so-called master in front of her is no exception, at least, for now.
"Childe." A slightly vicissitudes of sound came from outside the carriage.
Yuan Shang's slightly long eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes opened slightly, and he said indifferently: "Fu Bo, what's the matter?" ”
The carriage was still running rapidly, and Fu Bo's slightly dry hands skillfully controlled the direction of the horses, and the cold wind like a knife whistled mercilessly, but he was unmoved, and when he heard the words, he responded: "The snow in front of us is too serious, even if the blood dragon horse can travel thousands of miles a day, it is still a little difficult, according to the old slave, we are still looking for a shelter to stop overnight, and it is not too late to hurry when the situation is better on the second day." ”
Yuan Shang in the carriage was a little silent, as if he was weighing something, and after a while, he said: "According to what you said, just find a place in front of you to rest for the night first, and then hurry tomorrow." ”
"The old slave knows."
There are mostly sparsely populated places along the way, even if there are fierce horses such as blood dragon horses, it took more than an hour to find a small village, night is approaching, in such a bad season, the arrival of Yuan Shang and a few people did not attract much attention, this weather, who still has the strength to hang out outside.
The carriage stopped outside a shabby-looking house, and the Blood Dragon Pony roared spiritually, not in pain, but in joy, and had been running sleepless for two days, even though it was far more physically than its kind.
Tied the horsewhip around his waist, Fu Bo's waist slightly bowed and gently pushed open the partition of the carriage, the cold wind accompanied by snowflakes poured in, Yuan Shang's eyebrows frowned slightly, and suddenly dispersed, opening his slightly narrowed eyes, dark and deep, like a puddle of clear water, the water is clear but people can't see through.
"Childe, it's here." Yuan Shang nodded slightly, got up gently, his figure was slender, and he walked out of the carriage with a slight bow, and when Yuan Shang walked out, the girl in black followed out of the carriage with an expressionless face.
"Knock"
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
Stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the small door of the house a few times, but no one answered, Fauber frowned slightly when he saw this, and suddenly he was relieved, and with a bang, the small door of the whole house was gently pushed open, and a sense of decay came to his face.
"Childe, it's an uninhabited room."
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and his steps moved slightly: "Let's go, go in and make up for the night." ”
The inside of the hut was not narrow, the whole room was empty, and sometimes a cold wind poured in and creaked and creaked, which seemed a little strange and deserted.
Fu Bo took out the fire fold and was just looking for a place to light it for lighting and heating, when suddenly the roots of his ears moved slightly, and his expression changed slightly.
Yuan Shang beside him also seemed to be aware of it, but he didn't show it, his body was slightly on one side, and the two glanced at each other casually.
The black-clothed woman on the other side also tightened her hands slightly with her sword, and a strange change appeared.
A cold light seemed to break through the sky, without any warning, and just appeared out of thin air, heading towards Yuan Shang's heart.
In between these breaths, a few more cold lights headed towards Fu Bo and the woman in black respectively, and the methods were ruthless, without any reservations.
"Childe be careful."
"Be careful."
Just when the cold light like a poisonous snake was about to stab Yuan Shang, he suddenly lost Yuan Shang's figure, and the blow missed, and the owner who emitted a fatal cold light also appeared.
It was a thin figure, short in stature, through the moonlight, Yuan Shang saw the person's face a little clearly, the appearance was ordinary, like a passerby.
However, this time is not the time to be distracted, a blow misses, the short killer is reluctant to give up, saying that it is a killer, in fact, he is not professional, a blow misses, and he did not immediately escape, in Yuan Shang's opinion, he may be a dead man.
A cold light slipped down Yuan Shang's sleeve, that was his personal dagger, called 'Thorn Qin', this dagger seems to be infamous in the history of China but sharp and abnormal, it was collected by Mrs. Zhao Guoxu when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and was purchased and given to Jing Ke by the prince of Yan State Dan for one hundred gold.
A touch of cold light came to Yuan Shang holding the Assassin Qin Yige, and a huge force from his hand made his expression change slightly, but he was not stunned, his body was like electricity, and the Assassin Qin in his hand did not have any bells and whistles, and walked towards the killer with the killing machine.
The two fought heartily, shaking away the killer who was very good at martial arts, Yuan Shang took the time to look at Fu Bo and the woman in black on the other two sides, both of them were not idle, although they did not meet the characters like the short killer, but they were also besieged by several martial arts masters, fortunately, Fu Bo not only has martial arts and combat experience, but also has a lot of combat experience, and he can also free up his hands to help the woman in black with the power of one person to control the situation steadily.
"Fubo, don't leave any mouth alive, kill them all."
When Fu Bo heard this, his expression was cold, although he had no sword in both hands, his fists were like knives to kill people, but in a moment, he killed several killers who besieged him.
Seeing their partner fall, the rest of the killers remained unchanged and still looked as cold as iron, and in groups of three, they rushed towards Fauber and the woman in black again.
The woman in black is not an easy person, the long sword in her hand hooks up sword flowers, and her figure seems to be beautiful but stained with human blood, and her methods are no worse than Fu Bo's.
"It's your turn."
Yuan Shang's eyes were indifferent, and the bursts of pain from the wound in his body made him think of all kinds of pursuits and killings he had encountered from time to time in the past half a month, how similar it was to this ambush tonight, the Buddha was angry, not to mention that he was a human being, his character was originally to be chased and killed so many times, and the killing intention in his heart was self-evident.
"Give me death."
Yuan Shang was on the side of his body, deliberately revealing an empty door, sure enough, the short and fierce killer saw this, although he was a little uncertain, but he did not dare to give up this hard-won opportunity easily, the long sword in his hand angrily stabbed towards Yuan Shang's giant que, seeing that the short killer was hooked, the cold light in Yuan Shang's eyes flashed sharply, and the stabbing in his hand stabbed Qin Ji like lightning towards the killer's heart, with a faint inaudible sound, the killer's body shook, and under Yuan Shang's cold gaze, the look in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his body fell to the ground.
The dwarf killer who sniped Yuan Shang was obviously the leader of this group, and his death also became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and soon, several other killers who participated in the ambush of Yuan Shang and others also fell under Fu Bo's fist and the sword of the woman in black as expected.
Wiping the blood droplets from the body of the stabbing Qin dagger, Yuan Shang's expression and movements were as gentle as caressing his lover's skin, Fu Bo looked at the dozen or so corpses lying on the ground, and said after a while: "Childe, it is the same as the weapons used by the previous waves of killers. ”
Yuan Shang's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he was not surprised, these killers are not weak, no matter how much they hide their bodies, they can't hide those little habits, they are clearly from the soldiers in the army, through their techniques and postures of holding weapons, as well as their pace, how could Yuan Shang, who had led the soldiers, not see it.
"Youzhou is Gongsun Zhan's territory, I really can't think of anyone other than Gongsun Chan who would dare to send elite soldiers to chase me so blatantly, besides, my whereabouts are not known at all except for a few people, but looking at the current situation, I really need to be considered."
Fu Bo was silent when he heard this, as an old servant who has served the Yuan family for several generations, he sees some things more clearly than anyone else, and it is precisely because of this that he can only be silent, these things are not something that an outsider can interfere with and comment on.
"You wealthy families really don't have any family affection at all." The woman in black said sarcastically.
Fu Bo's face sank when he heard this: "Ziqing, you ......"
Yuan Shang didn't care, and waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go, get out of here first, there are more than one wave of these killers, go first." ”
"Yes." There was no word all night, Yuan Shang still looked silent, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking, and the woman in black named Ziqing also fell silent, after this ambush, the atmosphere of the whole threesome seemed even more depressing.
