Chapter 5 Expedited Express
Liancheng woke up.
What woke him up was not a rooster crow, nor a dream, but a sharp and small pain from all over his body.
"Hmm......" He opened his eyes, and in the dim darkness in front of him, "It's not dawn yet?" ”
Liancheng only felt that his body was very heavy, as if he was being pressed by something, so he turned over dissatisfied.
It was good that he didn't move, and when he moved, he heard the sound of "flutter and flutter" in his ears, and then a black cloud dispersed in front of him, and his body was a lot easier.
What kind of long dream has not woken up, it is clear that a group of vultures have used the sleeping dead city as food.
"What's going on...... Liancheng touched the back of his head, which was still faintly painful, and sat up.
There was also a patch of vultures gathered overhead, and although they seemed to realize that Liancheng was still a living creature in front of them, they were reluctant to give up the food, so they hovered above him.
Liancheng was annoyed by their noise, and as soon as he raised his hand, a series of crossbows in his sleeves shot out, and after shooting four in a row, the others realized that this person was not easy to mess with, so they flapped their wings and flew away.
Lian Cheng looked at the vulture corpse that landed beside him and slowly exhaled.
"It's clean."
Liancheng's eyes swept around.
The four fields were silent, and there was no figure on the ancient road except for the smoke and dust. No matter how slow Rao is Liancheng reacts, he can also realize:
I was left behind.
He reached out and slammed his hand on the ground, rolling over and standing up.
"Male god!"
"Ye Shenyu!"
The shouts echoed for a long time in the vast wilderness, and they were extremely clear.
However, the only one who answered Liancheng was the mouthful of sand he ate.
There was also a listless pacing who didn't even bother to give him a charcoal head.
"I said," Liancheng smoothed the hair of the charcoal head, "The male god probably annoyed me and threw me down." ”
The charcoal head flicked his tail.
"Maybe I've really been ...... these days" Lian Cheng paused for a moment, as if thinking of a suitable word, and then hung his head for a while and said:
"It's annoying."
The charcoal head snorted, as if to say: You still know.
"But what can I do." Liancheng lay on the back of the horse, and his voice was muffled, "I want to see him, I've been thinking about it for ten years." Now that I finally see the real person, he doesn't even have to do anything, just stand there, and I want to laugh and cry again. ”
The charcoal head hissed.
"I'm a teenager and I'm so tired." Liancheng buried his face in the hair of the charcoal and rubbed it hard, "You say, the male god doesn't remember me at all." ”
Tanhead: I don't know what to tell you about it, because I'm just a horse.
However, on the other side, the person who can tell the reason is busy on the road.
"Ye Gongzi," the bearded leader glanced at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, and said in a low voice, "But are you worried about Brother Ling?" ”
"Nope." Ye Shenyu retracted his gaze, "Do the math, my brother should have walked out of the Deserted Ancient Road." It always made me feel safer that he went back to the city by himself than with us. ”
The bearded man nodded, feeling concerned: "Brother Ling is still young, and there is no need to rush when he goes out to practice." ”
Ye Shenyu didn't answer, and the bearded man saw that he didn't want to speak, so he casually said a few words, then rode his horse and returned to the merchant pile. The bearded man was already good at talking, and when more than a dozen people got together, there was laughter and laughter almost immediately, and Ye Shenyu's side was inevitably deserted.
He suddenly remembered Liancheng.
Think about it carefully, in the past three days of knowing Liancheng, although I often feel that this person is a little annoying in my heart, but when Liancheng is there, it is always lively and interesting along the way, and it will not make people feel lonely. And the city is noisy, but it doesn't add to the chaos, and it's more like a little brother pulling you to be stupid.
An inexplicable sense of loss rose in Ye Shenyu's heart, and he couldn't help but glance back. However, behind him, there was not half a figure in the empty ancient road covered with yellow sand.
Calculating the time, Liancheng should have woken up a long time ago, but since he didn't catch up, it was the little boy who had already understood what he meant and left on his own.
Thinking of this, Ye Shenyu glanced back again.
There is not half a shadow.
He couldn't tell whether he was relaxed or regretful, so he just pursed his lips slightly, lifted the reins of his horse, and kept up with the business trip in front.
This went on for three days in a row, and the wind and waves were calm. Even the guards in the caravan were whispering in secret, talking about the smooth trip to the Ancient Dust Road, and several merchants had already begun to calculate with smiles how much money they could earn after this batch of goods arrived.
However, as the old saying goes, "Rice can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be indiscriminate." ”
By the evening of the fourth day, the sky had changed.
Originally, the sky was still clear without a trace of clouds, but somehow a cool breeze blew. Before they could react,
Overhead, dark clouds and thunder rumbled, and coin-sized raindrops "crackled" down. In the blink of an eye, everyone present was drenched.
Torrential rain poured in.
Everyone in the caravan dismounted and looked around, but they could not find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. There was no way, the bearded leader immediately decided: he set up camp in the same place.
Since Ye Shenyu encountered such a thing, there was no reason to stand by and watch, as soon as he turned over and dismounted, he had to help tie up the tent.
And almost at the same time, from the sound of the majestic rain, there was a dull sound of horses' hooves.
Ye Shenyu's martial arts are strong, and his ear power is much better than that of the caravan guards, and when he saw that those people were still ignorant, he immediately raised his voice and said:
"Be careful, there's a team of people in the southeast, and there are quite a few of them."
Although his voice was not loud, it clearly penetrated the hearts of everyone present through the rain.
"Horse Bandit ......"
I don't know who whispered, everyone looked at each other, and their faces were very ugly.
In this kind of rainy night, you have to ride a horse, I don't think it will be a good stubble.
But this is only a matter of a moment, after all, they have been in business for many years, and they are quite experienced, so they divided one-third of the guards to guard their belongings with the merchants, and the remaining twenty people gathered around Ye Shenyu, holding weapons in their hands, ready to fight.
"Ye Gongzi." Chen Sandao, the original leader of the guards, said, "It's not a secret, your martial arts are too much higher than ours, if we really want to fight, we still need to rely on you." ”
Ye Shenyu nodded silently.
After another half of the tea hour, the rain became heavier, and the sound of horses' hooves in the rain was getting closer and louder.
It's like a knock on everyone's heart.
"Who's coming?" Ye Shenyu breathed up, and his clear voice penetrated the rain curtain and sent it far away.
"Now that you know it, you will honestly leave the goods and money with your lives!"
A strong voice came from not far away, and with the sound came a group of people who cut through the rain curtain like sharp swords.
"Horse Bandit ......"
A group of men, who looked to be about fifty people, all dressed in light armor and armed with long knives and bows and arrows, were scanning the group of merchants indifferently on their horses.
There is no need to even ask, the bloody aura of this pile of people is enough to explain everything.
There was a "booming" thunder in the sky, and Chen San, who was standing next to Ye Shenyu, couldn't help but shiver, and his face turned pale for a while.
The leader glanced at them, his gaze stopped on Ye Shenyu for a moment, and then turned to the bearded man's body again.
"Since you have come to this desolate ancient road and met us, it is also your bad luck."
The bearded slightly chubby figure shook a few times, tightly held the hand of the old man who was in charge of the second house beside him, and said with a begging expression:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the villains are willing to leave seventy percent of the goods and treasures, and I just ask you to let us live."
The guards bowed their heads in shame.
Originally, I still wanted to fight, but now I see the amazing momentum on the other side, and I am afraid that I will ......
Sure enough, after listening to the bearded man's words, the man at the head smiled contemptuously, pointed to their goods, and said to the one-eyed man beside him:
"Listen, what is being said?"
The one-eyed man said expressionlessly, "Let's call Hanako." ”
Before the beard could say more, an arrow pierced through the rain and mist and struck him at the throat.
"You ......"
The bearded man's eyes widened, and he instinctively raised his hand.
"It's okay."
He then pressed his hand to his throat in a daze, and realized in hindsight that I didn't seem to have been hit by an arrow.
The incredible surprise and ecstasy made the bearded man lock his eyes tightly on Ye Shenyu who was blocking him, and muttered in his mouth: "Ye Gongzi." ”
Ye Shenyu didn't make a sound, and calmly returned the sword into the sheath.
The horse bandits on the opposite side already looked very ugly.
The others may not have come to their senses, but the leaders can see it clearly.
Between the lightning and flint, the white shadow flashed, Ye Shenyu spun up, the cold light suddenly passed in front of everyone's eyes, and with a soft sound of "dang", the arrow touched the tip of the sword, and it was thrown by the latter and fell to the ground.
Between the dark clouds in the sky, a flash of lightning suddenly fell, illuminating the white-clothed senior disciple of the Shujian Sect.
The rain poured down from his body, but it could not reduce his grace by half.
The face is like jade, the sword is better than the frost and snow, and the awe-inspiring and proud.
"Okay, it's very good, no wonder you dare to speak wildly, it turns out that you have the support of a master." The one-eyed man said sympathetically: "Even so, there is no need to say more. ”
Needless to say, indeed.
Ye Shenyu's move somewhat made the people of the caravan regain some confidence, and the guards led by Chen San straightened their backs one after another, and their eyes became sharper than ever.
The leader of the bandits slowly raised his hand.
Ye Shenyu's long sword was unsheathed.
"Shoot the arrows! Offensive! ”
In an instant, the sound of killing was everywhere, mixed with the neighing of horses and the thunder of horses, and the sound of gold and iron intersecting swords, and a fierce battle began.
As soon as the leaders of the horse bandits looked around, they knew in their hearts.
The combat power of the caravan, in front of them, is simply a mantis arm as a car, not worth mentioning.
However, this Ye Shenyu is strong in martial arts and very difficult.
Ye Shenyu also understood their thoughts, and he didn't dare to underestimate the martial arts of these three people.
Of course, he understood that the other side had made up his mind to hold him back, and then take the opportunity to let the other accomplices slaughter the people in the caravan.
If you save yourself, you will inevitably plot to sneak attack the enemy on your back.
If you don't save it, you will be outnumbered in the end, and it will be a certain death.
Ye Shenyu inhaled slightly, and the sword "Zhaoshui" was already in his hand.
The sword body trembled slightly, let out a dragon roar, and met the rain of arrows in the sky.
