Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Post Road Encounter (Seeking Push and Return)

Kannai Road.

Gotta ......

On the official road of "driving ......", an official messenger waved the horse whip in his hand and constantly whipped the horse that sat down, hoping that the horse could be faster.

Why is it special?

The postman is the person who delivers official documents, and transmits document messages by connecting post roads and post stations throughout the world.

The post road is a special official road, a bit similar to the current national highway, which is the highest specification of all roads in ancient times, and the post station is a special place for the post guards to rest, there will be one in about twenty or thirty miles, and there will be about ten post guards in each post station, these people are responsible for taking care of the horses and transmitting information.

In the Tang Dynasty, post guards were mostly selected from the local people, but there was a special kind of post guard that had to be served by a special soldier, that is, the post guard who escorted the urgent documents.

In this era when there are no cars and no trains, the fastest means of transportation is the horse, usually the post man can rest at the post station to pass the message, but if there is a major event, such as an emergency military situation, then it must be sent to the destination as soon as possible, the post man has no time to rest, along the way to change horses do not change people, even eating, drinking and water are completed on horseback, which requires the post man to have good physical strength, perseverance and equestrian skills, not ordinary people can serve, must be a special soldier.

This post guard has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and he needs to deliver the paperwork in his hand to Luoyang in the shortest possible time.

"Bang ......"

"Woo ......"

A tripwire suddenly appeared on the official road, because it appeared so suddenly, the post man didn't notice it at all, and even the people and horses were tripped by the trip horse rope, and the post boy was thrown out due to inertia, and the horse rolled on the ground twice before stopping.

"Ahem...... Phew......" The postman spat out the dust from his mouth, got up, hurried to the horse, and after making sure that the horse was not injured, he immediately picked up the horse and prepared to go.

He thought it was an accident on the part of the horse that caused him to fall, and he didn't even think about tripping in the direction of the horse.

Because blocking the post guard, but it is a big crime to raid the house and destroy the door, who has the courage to do this kind of thing, and the emergency document is useless for ordinary people, who has nothing to eat and support to do this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, today the postman met three well-fed men.

The "poof...... slash the postman flew out again, spitting blood, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and the paperwork he was carrying fell to the ground.

The post man was very dedicated, and when he found out that the document had fallen, he ignored his injuries, but crawled to the side of the paperwork and reached out to pick it up.

"Ah......" Seeing that he was about to get the paperwork, a foot suddenly appeared in front of him, stepped on it fiercely, and the sound of broken bones could be faintly heard, and the severe pain made the post guard let out a scream.

The postman looked up and saw three men with weapons in their hands and hats that could cover their faces.

"Hmph, that's the end of your mission." The man who stepped on the palm of the postman said as he drew the sword in his hand, turned the sword upside down, and stabbed it down at the postman without hesitation.

While!

Seeing that the post man was about to die on the spot, he heard a clear sound, and he didn't know what hit the man's sword, although he did not knock the sword away, but he also saved the post man's life.

"Who?"

"You little thieves are really bold, you dare to intercept the post guard who escorts the urgent paperwork, I don't know if you are dead or alive."

The three of them traced back to the source of the sound, but saw that on the right side of the official road, a man leaning against a tree appeared at some point, this person looked at them expressionlessly, and the man had a sword stuck in his side.

"Huang Gongheng." The sword-wielder at the head recognized the identity of the person who came, and said in surprise.

"Oh, young man, your eyesight is good, you actually know Lao Tzu, it seems that Lao Tzu's name is still quite loud!" The man smiled and said, this person is Huang Chong, who has traveled all over the world, and it is pure coincidence that he encountered this incident.

"No matter who you are, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise this place is your burial place today." The man with the sword said.

"I've met a lot of people who say this kind of thing over the years, but alas, these people will prove their stupidity at the cost of their lives." Huang Chong picked up his sword, walked forward slowly, and said.

The sword-wielder shook his head at his two men, signaling them to step forward and kill Huang Chong, and the two men immediately raised their swords and rushed towards Huang Chong.

"It's just a trash fish." Huang Chong said disdainfully, before the voice fell, the person had turned into an afterimage, passed between the two, and stopped five meters in front of the sword-wielding man.

"It's worthy of being a fast swordsman, and it really lives up to its reputation." The sword-wielder was not surprised, and his tone remained as calm as before.

"Fast Swordsman" is a title that Huang Chong received after challenging the heroes of Heshuo, describing Huang Chong's swordsmanship as extremely fast.

"Put your name on it."

"A dead man, there is no need to know my name." The sword in the man's hand pointed at Huang Chong and said, The sword is a good sword, so he is also a master.

"It's okay not to pretend to be forced to be struck by lightning, but you're right, I'm really not interested in the name of a dying person."

Whew......

The man didn't talk nonsense with Huang Chong, the sword in his hand pulled out a sword flower and stabbed at Huang Chong, a very beautiful flower, a flower that costs people's lives.

It is really a familiar swordsmanship, the previous owner of the sword in Huang Chong's hand, General Liu, had used the same swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship of the person in front of him was obviously above that of the original General Liu.

In this way, there is no need to say much about the origin of the person in front of him.

While!

A sword breaks ten thousand laws, the other party makes a move, Huang Chongcai draws his sword, but he can come first and pick up the sword flower neatly.

"What a fast swordsman." Saying that, the speed of his sword has reached a higher level, and with the unpredictable footwork under his feet, there are countless changes in the sword moves out of thin air, which is even more elusive, if you meet a swordsman of the same level, you will really be confused by his swordsmanship.

It's a pity that what he met was Huang Chong, Huang Chong's basic Huashan swordsmanship, coming and going is just a few tricks, it can be described as "let you come a few ways, I will go all the way", he just has no way to take Huang Chong, and gradually fell into disadvantage.

"Your braggadocio ability is much stronger than your swordsmanship, if you only have this level, leave it for me today." Huang Chong sneered, and the sword in his hand was three points faster.

And the post guard also took the opportunity to retrieve the documents, rode on the horse, and after saying thank you to Huang Chong, he rode his horse again and galloped towards Luoyang.

It's really a good courier for Datang.
