Only a few dozen miles away from the Hongfeng Fortress, there is an official post station, which is a place for people to rest, ordinary people need to pay a little money, and the official family is naturally free. There were a few simple thatched huts, two thin little guys, and an elderly veteran who was in charge of the house.

On this day, dozens of people from Hongfeng Fortress were suddenly received here, and the veteran saw at a glance that the other party was not simple, and quickly ordered the little guy to bring the best tea, but those people rested for a while but did not drip, wasting the good tea that the veteran had kept for many years.

After the group left, the veteran breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't matter what the tea was, as long as these people didn't trouble themselves.

On top of the carriage.

"Miss, it's not long since you left the fortress, why do you want to rest there?" Li Yun asked his young lady suspiciously.

Li Yu'er has been restless since she left the fortress, but she can also understand why she rests there, the further north she goes, the more dangerous it is, and now while it is still safe, she can't take a good rest, I'm afraid that she may not have this opportunity to rest later.

"Because the road behind is too long, and it is not easy to walk. Li Yuer was not in the mood to explain more to Li Yun.

Li Yun also felt that his young lady had been a little absent-minded, so he didn't dare to say more.

When he was about thirty miles away from the fortress, Zhang Chong suddenly felt that something was wrong, just now he seemed to be distracted, and he almost left the main road with the carriage, so shocked that Feng Tianjiao and the two female swords in the carriage were pulled out, and they thought they had been attacked.

What's even more strange is that Feng Tianjiao, who has always been hot-tempered, took a look, and after finding that it was okay, she actually returned to the carriage directly without saying a word.

Just when Zhang Chong thought about it more and more wrong, the master of the Supervision Department on horseback next to him planted directly from the horse.

Zhang Chong was startled, and immediately stopped the carriage, Guo Yifei behind seemed to react a little slowly, until the horse was about to touch Zhang Chong's carriage before he reluctantly stopped, but the ordinary horseman on the third carriage reacted quickly and immediately stopped the carriage.

When the third carriage stopped, Yuen Long actually flew out of it, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he seemed to wake up, and one rolled over and fell to the ground.

"It's not right, we've been tricked, protect Li girl, quickly. As soon as Yuen Long stabilized his body, he shouted to the crowd, and he rushed to the second carriage.

Yuen Long had just lifted the curtain of the carriage to reveal Li Yuer's somewhat panicked face, when a sharp arrow had silently passed through his ear and pierced Li Yuer's forehead.

After all, Yuen Long is a veteran master of the Supervision Department, and at this moment, a sword qi was spit out from his mouth, although the power was not good, but it hit the tail feathers of the arrow, and slightly changed the direction of the arrow.

The silent arrow slashed between Li Yu'er's sideburns, cutting off a strand of hair on her sideburns, and then stapled to the back panel of this special carriage, and the tail of the arrow continued to tremble, and only then did a crisp sound come out.

The most frightened person present was not Li Yuer, but Yuen Long, who only found out at this time that his strength was only 30% left, and his whole body was exhausted and drowsy, and his perception of the outside world was also at an extremely low level.

And if the arrow just now was not aimed at Li Yu'er, but at himself, then who could save his own life as he saved Li Yu'er? The answer is obviously no.

Everyone saw that Li Yu'er escaped, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, if the other party succeeded, then everyone would become a laughing stock, maybe they would die to thank the emperor, everyone drew their own blades, and surrounded Li Yu'er's carriage, even Feng Tianjiao and the two daughters had already jumped on the top of Li Yu'er's carriage, and their eyes were locked on the direction where the arrows were flying at this moment.

In the entire convoy, only two people were not in the circle, one was the ordinary groom, who was hiding under the carriage at the moment, and the other was Zhang Chong, who was also hiding under the carriage at the moment, but when he hid under the carriage, although he was also frightened, his right ear was attached to the ground, and after listening for a while, he was sure that the other party did not have a large number of people moving before he put his mind at ease.

Everyone felt weak and tired, and the older the person, the more obvious this situation became, and Zhang Chong was not very old, and his cultivation was high, so his strength was rapidly recovering, and he had already recovered half of it at this moment alone.

"Whoosh" A series of more than a dozen arrows shot from a distance, but this time Yuen Long breathed a sigh of relief that these arrows were not the same as just now, just ordinary arrows, but judging from this number, the other party also had at least a dozen people, which was really not good news for their own side whose combat power was greatly reduced.

After a clanging sound, most of these arrows were blocked, but some people from the Supervision Department, who were already not highly cultivated, were still hit, and three people were stabbed immediately, fortunately it was only a very light scratch, these people were elite after all, and they were still able to avoid fatal injuries in this situation.

A figure flew out from under the first carriage, and the speed was completely explosive, and everyone could only barely tell that the person was the leader of Cangming Academy this time, and the only Cangming student who was not wearing a blue school uniform.

Yuen Long's pupils shrank, he knew that this person was not simple before he left, although he had not seen the confidential files of the inspection hall, but from Zhang Zhendu's attitude towards him and Li Yuer's narration, he could also know some of the situation of this person, but the current situation was still beyond his expectations.

This person should have been recruited like himself and the others, but the cultivation that broke out now still has the middle stage of the master realm, even the current Yuen Long can only be slightly higher than this level, and the other party is only a student who is about to graduate.

Zhang Zhong felt that it was very bad, although the other party did not have a large number of people, but the archers hidden in the dense forest of the official road were still a huge threat to those of them whose cultivation was suppressed.

Fortunately, some people on the side of the Supervision Department are not even at the master realm, and now I am afraid that they are not much stronger than ordinary people, and the current situation can only drag the other party by themselves, so that these people have the opportunity to find a way to solve the decline in cultivation and restore their combat strength.

Mira, who was standing behind a canopy, saw the man who had been hiding under the carriage at first approaching her quickly, and she took out an arrow that was longer and thicker than all the arrows she had just done, and aimed it with her bow.

With a scream, Zhang Zhong immediately put his hands in front of his chest, and the stainless steel fist gloves just blocked the arrow.

The sound of "ding" shook Zhang Chong's head a little dizzy and spread far away, and Zhang Chong was also carried by this arrow and slid back several meters, leaving two deep scratches on the ground, and when Zhang Chong looked up again, there was no one there, not even a trace left.

After Feng Tianjiao heard the obviously different sound again, she jumped directly from the roof of the car, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and placed the tip of the sword on the ground, just dragged the heavy sword like this, and quickly ran towards Zhang Chong, leaving a long mark on the ground.

When the first arrow failed to kill the opponent, Mira knew that she had failed.

She ambushed here, but she didn't know where the other party would stop, so for a long time, she relied on the power of martial arts to race against the horses, and when she saw that she was about to reach the limit where she needed to conserve her strength, the other party stopped.

It's a pity that Mira, who consumes a lot of money, only has the power of this short-term strong attack, and the remaining strength can only be used to get out, otherwise it is likely to fold here.

When Feng Tianjiao arrived here, she saw Zhang Chong investigating around alone.

"How's that, what did you find?" Feng Tianjiao quickly ran up to Zhang Zhong and asked.

Zhang Zhong shook his head and said, "Let's go, the other party has already evacuated." ”

When Zhang Zhong and Feng Tianjiao returned to the team, the three people who originally thought that they had only suffered minor injuries turned black and were already exhausted.

"Patriarch, how's the situation?" asked Li Yu'er as she got out of the carriage.

Yuen Long didn't answer her question, but his face sank: "Nonsense, hurry up, maybe the other party is still there." ”

Li Yuer thought of the situation just now, and knew that the situation was a little dangerous, but after all, she was the real leader of this trip, and now that something happened, she had been hiding in the carriage and couldn't convince the public.

Yuen Long wanted to say something, but Zhang Zhong walked over: "The person has already left, I can't catch up with the other party, and there is only one person on the other side." ”

"Alone, are you sure?" Li Yuer crossed Yuen Long to reconfirm the situation with Zhang Chong.

Zhang Zhong didn't speak, just nodded.

"No, judging from the rain of arrows just now, it's not something that one person can send out. Yuen Long didn't think Cheung's judgment was wrong, but it was a bit difficult to understand.

However, Li Yuer suddenly realized, she had vaguely heard that in the Xidaying incident not long ago, there was an archer among the people who surrounded and suppressed the assassins who fired several arrows at a time, at first she thought that the rumors were exaggerated, but now it seems that this person not only really exists, but also is more terrifying than the rumors.

"What a poisonous method!" Zhang Zhong saw the three people who fell to the ground, at this moment these three people are still the same as if they had just fallen, no one dares to approach, and no one can guarantee that the poison will be stained by themselves.

Zhang Zhong searched around for a while, but didn't see the figure he was looking for, and then remembered that Tie Zhaoyun escorted Gu Hai back to Cangming.

"Everyone's cultivation?" Zhang Zhong asked.

Feng Tianjiao took back the heavy sword, straightened her hair, and said, "There is almost half a cup of tea to recover." ”

"Me too. A lot of people chimed in.

At this time, Yuen Long's face was a little ugly: "I have to slow down a lot, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to fully recover until nightfall." ”

Zhang Zhong smiled at Yuen Long and said, "Don't worry, elder, who made your cultivation the highest." ”

"That's right. Yuen Long also laughed, but the laughter of these two people not only did not drive away the gloom in everyone's hearts, but also faintly felt that there were endless sounds of ridicule.

"Do you know what's going on?" asked Li Yu'er.

This question made everyone present a little confused, and the current situation is obvious, they have been drugged, but since they left the town governor's mansion, everyone has not entered the water along the way, how can they be recruited?

Ju Jing came over at this time and said: "We were not directly poisoned, otherwise the other party would not have used drugs, just poison us directly, it was the horses that were poisoned." ”

Only then did everyone think that if the other party could really poison himself and others unconsciously, then there would be some powerful ones, and I am afraid that few people present would survive, and Li Yu'er's cultivation was not even in the master realm, and there were still a lot of poisons that could poison her, just the one who had just killed three people.

"It's the water in the post station manger!" The one who spoke was the tomb guard leader named Lian Chu, a middle-aged man at the peak of the master realm, thin and tall, very shrewd when he looked at it, and there was a big mole at the corner of his mouth, although he didn't look very good, but he talked well, which made people feel very comfortable.

Although Ju Jing is not studying medicine in Cangming, she knows a little about medicine and has some knowledge of poison, she nodded and said: "I took a look, there is some white powder under the belly of our horses, which should be an excellent quality drug." When I was at the post station, I was worried that the horses were too hot, so I washed each horse with water from the manger, and as the horses ran, the medicine that had dried up on it evaporated, and most of it had dissipated, only some remnants under the horse's belly. ”

Zhang Chong felt a little guilty, since the incident with Gu Hai, now he is always a little slack in doing things, he originally thought that this place was very close to the fortress, and the other party would not make a move, who knew that the other party would do the opposite, and he was caught off guard.

And there is only one person on the other side, even if it is the tomb guard and the southern region guard, it is difficult to find out, but it is this person who almost makes his people a laughing stock, he should be glad that the other party does not have any rare poison of time, otherwise his people are already playing cards in the underworld at this moment.

"Do horses have an impact?" Zhang Zhong asked as soon as he thought things through.

"No, this medicine is only useful for people, and the higher the cultivation, the older you get, the more effective it is. Ju Jing replied.

Zhang Zhong looked at the corpse on the ground, and suddenly said, "Take out the water, dispose of the remaining medicine, and leave quickly." ”

After everyone listened, they didn't move, Zhang Zhong looked at Yuen Long, Yuen Long looked at Li Yuer, and after the three of them reached an agreement, everyone started to act, but this detail made Zhang Zhong and Li Yuer frown.

In the town governor's mansion, Zhang Xuanzong slapped the table that he had used for many years, and the town governor's mansion seemed to have added a lot of furniture recently, and he didn't care about a few more pieces.

Qiu Zhen was below, his face was also ugly, what happened during the day had been reported to the town governor's mansion, when he arrived at the post station, there was no living person there, and there was a small bag of gold coins next to a small servant, it seemed that the other party kept his promise and gave a reward, but the little guy didn't have to die.

For the first time, Zhang Chong felt that there was no trouble with Tie Zhaoyun, if she was there, she should be able to find the problem a lot in advance, but Ju Jing was also very good, at least it was much better than nothing. This incident also reminded Zhang Zhong that the other party was really unscrupulous, and he couldn't prevent it.
