In the blink of an eye, Bai Ling drew his knife, and the horse's blood splattered.

The stabbed horse neighed and raised its front hooves and went on a rampage in the darkness.

The horses lost the restraint of their ropes, and the whole stable was suddenly in disarray, and the simple cage could withstand such a collision, and the fence suddenly collapsed.

Bai Ling found the right moment to leap and land on the back of the head horse.

In the midst of the confusion, she quickly grasped the reins and leaned forward after the head horse.

At this moment, a few feathered arrows swept past her clothes—on the second floor of the inn, the archers were already in place, and the arrows were aimed at Bai Ling's vital point.

The rain of arrows was so dense that Bai Ling was surprised while dodging, because the commotion in the post station was far from being emitted by a handful of bandits, and almost a dozen people rushed out of the post house just to catch a glimpse of it when he fled.

Bai Ling didn't look back, and as she galloped, she could hear the sound of horses' hooves behind her, which were horses that instinctively followed the lead horse in a panic.

- It's done!

In the moonlight, three or five horses followed the head horse, and the whole wilderness fell silent with the sound of horses' hooves.

Li Yiru in the grass did not move, he looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and the path that was still lonely was already full of knife-wielding people at this moment.

Did you hear it wrong, where did so many bandits come from in the house? Or had they been secretly lurking in their respective positions all along, and they hadn't made a sound at all?

Li Yiru frowned, brushed aside the weeds in front of him, and looked at the post station from afar.

I saw a middle-aged man walking out from behind the gate of the post station, who seemed to be the leader of this gang of bandits.

"Don't chase it! That's three or two thieves who steal horses, what's the use of chasing him! ”

Li Yiru laughed in his heart, tonight is called black eating black.

"But—"

The thief in front of the stable seemed to be about to defend himself, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, "It's nothing, don't mess up by yourself, everyone should return to their respective positions, and tighten their guard." ”

The bandit leader whispered a few words to the people around him, but because it was too far away, his voice was too soft, and Li Yiru couldn't really hear it for a while.

Li Yiru moved slowly through the grass, slowly approaching the post station, and then listened intently.

There was a sound of footsteps again, and after the bandit leader gave the order, all the knife-wielding men who poured out of the post station disappeared into the darkness again, and the entire outside of the post station became very few people again, except for a flutter of dust.

The bandit leader walked to the tree, looked up at the bronze bell that was stuck on the tree by Bai Ling and Mu Cheng, leaned over and took an iron axe from the side, and slashed at the trunk with a wave of his arm.

There was a cracking sound from the trunk of the tree and it shook, and the brass bell on top fell with a clatter.

The bell landed on the soft ground with a muffled ring, and the man immediately rose up, clinging his hands to the face of the bell - the bell stopped abruptly.

"I don't even know if the alarm bell has been tampered with...... What do you eat? The bandit leader's face was really a little more angry at this time, and he kicked on the trunk of the tree on the side again, "When you meet a few thieves, you want to hit the bell?" ”

"We ...... We thought these were the first to go—"

"Substitution!" The bandit leader shouted loudly, and he hand-picked two names, and the two who were called by name quickly ran out of the inn house.

The bandit leader looked furious, "I know that I don't give a chance to complain about it, and if I give it a chance, you will give me a chance to do things like this!" ”

The two guards of the stables bowed their heads a little frustratedly.

"You're glad that the gang of thieves you met just now were cautious and helped you unload this bronze bell!" The bandit leader whispered, "If you make a false alarm and delay tonight's big event, you two won't be able to save your heads!" Go chase back a couple of horses over there, and then roll back to the backyard and wash the floor! ”

"Yes......" The two men held their hats and walked towards the horses that had stopped grazing not far away, and one of them was halfway there, and suddenly ran back, handing something into the hands of the bandit leader.

Then the leader of the bandits inspected the stables himself, and pulled the cart full of goods to a prominent position in the moonlight.

Before leaving, he said to the two newcomers, "Don't forget the instructions from above, let the two of you stay here tonight, not really to watch the horses!" ”

The two men stood up straight in silence in reply.

Silence returned to outside the stables.

Li Yiru was holding hay in his mouth, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

……

"It sounds like they have some other ambush to ......"

At dawn, Mu Cheng said softly.

By the small stone pool, he was making a fire to boil water, and Li Yiru and Bai Ling on the side were washing their faces and hands in the clear pool water.

Not far from the three, four horses were being tethered to the tree—a head horse and three camel horses that followed.

The three of them had been resting here for a few hours, and they were about to set off, and at this time they were making final preparations, and Li Yiru also told the two of them what he had heard and seen last night.

"Yes," Li Yiru sighed, "I feel that once I get to Jiangbei, this road is really difficult to walk." ”

Several people were silent for a while.

It had only been a few days since they crossed the river, and they encountered two groups of robbers—fortunately, neither of them went head-to-head.

"Your gold leaf just flew out, is it okay?" Bai Ling looked at Li Yiru, "After all, your family crest is printed on it, in case your identity is exposed-"

"I'm not afraid of this." Li Yiru smiled, "It's just a group of mountain bandits, it's so far away from Shuzhou, even if they know where I'm from, they won't be able to find trouble with my family......"

Li Yiru shook his hand as he spoke, and the surface of the pool immediately rippled.

“…… Even if they are really angry, a group of people chased them to Shuzhou," Li Yiru scratched his hair twice at his reflection on the water, "then they are asking for trouble." ”

Bai Ling looked at Li Yiru's smiling face and sighed for a while.

It can only be said that the young man's skills are really well hidden, if he hadn't seen his flying leaves like a wind with his own eyes last night, I'm afraid that now I still think that the person in front of me is really powerless.

Mu Cheng also glanced at Li Yiru, "Why didn't you use it before you had such a unique skill?" ”

"I didn't use the gold leaf at a critical moment before, because I was afraid that my family would follow the clues to find me......," Li Yiru sighed, "Now that your whereabouts have been exposed, you don't have to be so guarded all the time......

"Did the third brother hear the bell ringing from the post station in the middle of the night?" Bai Ling asked.

"It seems that I did hear it, but it was far away, and I was a little uncertain." Li Yiru recalled, "Shall we ride back on horseback to see?" Anyway, it's only seven or eight miles, and it's not too far. ”

Mu Cheng immediately shook his head, "It doesn't matter if it's far away, let's leave it alone with the mountain bandits." I finally got a horse, so I hurried to the north. ”

"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, "How many days do we have enough dry food on us?" ”

"Save a little food, it should be enough to last four or five days." Mu Cheng replied.

"How far is it from Zhuozhou?"

"About ten days." Li Yiru took out the map, "But if you go north for two or three days, there will be a Tunlongpi where we can replenish." ”
