Volume 1 The Sea Flows in the East Chapter 23 Standby and Move
Xu Han took the black cat Xuan'er and followed the group of soldiers under the Long Night Division for three days.
They acted extremely cautiously, picking secluded mountain roads to march, and going out day and night, and there were three people patrolling at any time, Xu Han had been cautiously lurking for the past three days, but he did not find any chance to save people.
And because these soldiers of the Long Night Division chose to march at night, in order not to lose them, Xu Han had to give up the matter of absorbing demon power for the black cat every day, Xuan'er was sensible, and carried the three days hard, but the spirit was much worse than the previous days, Xu Han didn't know if it would cause irreparable damage to the black cat if it continued like this in the long run.
On the other hand, although their current location is still some distance away from Chang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou, once they enter Liangzhou, it is not as good as the southern part of Xuzhou, and the patrolling army can be seen everywhere, even Sen Luo's power in Liangzhou is extremely weak.
At that time, it was even more difficult for Xu Han to save the sea current.
Just when Xu Han was anxious and couldn't hold back several times and was about to make a move, things took a turn for the better.
It was the fifth day that Canghai Liu was taken away.
Xu Han, who had been following the group of soldiers from a distance, suddenly found that in addition to him, there seemed to be someone following this group of minions of the Long Night Division.
And at the same time that he found that group of people, that group of people also discovered Xu Han.
But strangely, they didn't seem surprised by Xu Han's presence at all, they just kept enough of their vigilance against him, but they didn't mean to make a move on him or talk to him.
Xu Han was very strange about this, but after all, he was weak and did not dare to take the initiative to provoke, so he could only wait and see.
But over time, more and more stalkers appeared.
Judging from their attire or accent, Xu Han was keenly aware that the stalkers who suddenly appeared were not from the same number, and he carefully observed them, and found that these people could probably be divided into seven or eight factions, each of which had a size of about thirty or forty people.
Although they have never clashed with each other, they are also wary of each other.
Xu Han was surprised and puzzled at first, but then suddenly thought about it.
Canghailiu said that there are many people in the world who want to kill him in this Great Zhou Dynasty, and now these people in the rivers and lakes gathered behind the Long Night Division think that they are those who want to kill him in Canghailiu's mouth.
Xu Han is not stupid, no matter how vicious the current is, no matter how many people in the world want to kill him. But he fell into the hands of the Long Night Division at this moment, waiting for the fate of the sea current, I am afraid it is more terrible than death.
It stands to reason that these righteous people should be able to put away their full of righteous indignation and wait with peace of mind to see the tragic end of the sea flow. Why did they still take such a reckless step to follow the Long Night Division, offending this terrorist force that the Senluo Temple would not dare to offend?
The people of this world, no matter how high-sounding they say.
But things in the world are always changing.
As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Thinking about the sword mentioned when the commander of the Long Night Division tortured Cang Hailiu before, then thinking about it, I am afraid that the reason why Cang Hailiu has been chased and killed by the black and white of the entire Great Zhou for so many years is that there are still some unknown secrets behind it.
Of course, Xu Han didn't have the heart to get to the bottom of this, his idea was very simple, Canghailiu saved him, then he couldn't watch Canghailiu die.
As for the rest, what does it have to do with him?
However, because the number of people gathered in the rivers and lakes gradually increased, Xu Han was no longer afraid of following the group of the Long Night Division, and he could spare some time every day to absorb the demonic power in the black cat's body to relieve his pain.
And so the days passed for another five days.
There are more and more forces in the rivers and lakes following behind the army of the Long Night Division, and the people on the side of the Long Night Division also seem to be alert, and they begin to consciously speed up their march, seeing that they are about to cross the boundary of Xuzhou and enter Liangzhou.
And Xu Han, who was mixed with the forces of the rivers and lakes, gradually felt the restlessness and uneasiness in the crowd.
He knew that he was afraid that within two days, today and tomorrow, these people would have to do it.
......
Luo Tiancheng was very irritable.
A few days ago, he received a secret order from Zhu Xian, the head of the Long Night Division, asking him to lead people to arrest the kendo master Canghailiu, who had been wanted by the Great Zhou for decades.
Although he was promised a reward that was enough to make anyone blush, Luo Tiancheng was still very uneasy.
That's the current.
The traitor of the Southern Wilderness Sword Mausoleum.
Even though it had already been said in the secret decree that Canghai Liu had fought with Yue Fuyao of Tiandou and was seriously injured.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the role that can fight with Yue Fuyao is something that he can provoke in a small city in Xuzhou?
But how can Zhu Xian of the Long Night Division be a character he can disobey?
After hesitating again and again, Luo Tiancheng finally led the elite of his subordinates to set off.
After all, he still did not resist the temptation of the rich reward in Zhu Xian's secret decree.
But what he never expected was that this famous murderer in the rivers and lakes was so vulnerable, but he captured him alive at the cost of less than thirty of his men.
Next, as long as he is brought to Chang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou, then Luo Tiancheng will be waiting for him to enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Luo Tiancheng was not carried away by the upcoming bright future, Xuzhou to Chang'an is a long way away, what kind of variables will there be, so he led the troops day and night, picking some remote mountain trails to hurry.
I thought that this would be foolproof, but who knew that their whereabouts were still exposed.
The people in the rivers and lakes behind him are accumulating more and more, even if he sees Liangzhou in front of him, Luo Tiancheng's heart is becoming more and more uneasy.
On this day, they came to Hongye Ridge on the border of Xuzhou.
In just one day, they could climb over this mountain, and on that side was the boundary of Liangzhou. Once there, the forces of the rivers and lakes will no longer have any chance.
Luo Tiancheng arranged for his soldiers to sit and rest for a while, and then he had to lead them to Liangzhou overnight, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
For this reason, he took a good look at the condition of the current, and the old man lay leisurely in the prisoner cart specially prepared for him, holding a dogtail grass torn out of nowhere in his mouth, and he did not seem to feel the slightest worry about his situation.
Whenever he saw the appearance of the sea current, Luo Tiancheng hated it so much, but there was nothing he could do about it.
When you get to Kyoto, you will feel good.
Luo Tiancheng said secretly in his heart, turned around and closed the iron door of the prisoner car.
At this time, the guard handed over a water bag, Luo Tiancheng took it, raised his head and drank it in a big gulp.
It's June, the sun in Xuzhou is scorching, and even at night, the air is still filled with a heat that can't be dispersed.
Luo Tiancheng finished drinking the water, stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains on the corner of his mouth, and was about to tell the soldiers below to prepare to set off again, but the mouth just opened, and his face sank suddenly, as if he sensed something, and shouted: "Be careful!"
Before the words fell, a rapid sound of breaking the sky sounded in the dense forest in the distance.
Luo Tiancheng's soldiers were all elite, and they reacted immediately, and they took out the long knives on their waists one after another, knocking those things that exploded into the air.
Only then did Luo Tiancheng see clearly that those flying things were sharp arrows that flashed cold.
His mind sank suddenly, knowing that those reckless rivers and lakes finally couldn't hold it back and chose to make a move.
As if in response to his thoughts, this thought just arose, and a high-pitched shout of killing suddenly came from all directions, and one after another figures jumped out of the forest at that time, and surrounded Luo Tiancheng and the others.
Both sides are extremely clear about each other's intentions, and naturally those fake tricks of talking and swords are omitted.
Luo Tiancheng, who came back to his senses in the blink of an eye, led his soldiers to fight with those rivers and lakes recklessly.
For some reason, the people in the rivers and lakes who received the news that Canghailiu was seriously injured seemed to be some three-minded and nine-rate figures, and more than 400 people were inseparable from the more than 50 elites under Luo Tiancheng, and it was difficult to achieve an obvious advantage for a while.
Xu Han, who was hiding in the distance, frowned and looked at all this, secretly thinking in his heart.
How many people want to kill the current, and why are there such goods?
Isn't there anyone behind this?
Such a question climbed into Xu Han's heart, but no matter what, it had reached this point, and he didn't have time to hesitate, he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, carefully observe the situation on the field, and look for the best time to save the current.
Although the three sects and nine streams are not on the stage, after all, there are many people, and after paying the price of hundreds of corpses, Luo Tiancheng's men and horses gradually showed fatigue.
And seeing that victory was in sight, those reckless rivers and lakes were even more red-eyed, and the offensive in their hands became more and more ferocious.
There is a way to eliminate one and the other, and Luo Tiancheng's men and horses are losing and retreating under their offensive.
In less than a hundred breaths, except for Luo Tiancheng and a few guards who fled into Hongye Ridge in embarrassment, the rest of the soldiers all fell under the reckless swords of this group of rivers and lakes.
Xu Han, who was in the distance, watched all this, and secretly cursed in his heart, and it was only a quarter of an hour, and Luo Tiancheng and the others retreated.
Xu Han's plan to take advantage of the chaos to rob the current of the sea was also ruined.
And because of the takeover of these people in the rivers and lakes, their large number of people made it exponentially more difficult for Xu Han to save the sea current.
Just when he was remorseful, the battlefield that had just quieted down suddenly sounded a burst of fighting.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to look again, but saw that the people who had just been fighting side by side somehow fought again, and the scene suddenly became a mess again.
Xu Han realized that these people were temporarily united, and now that the sea is in his hands, naturally no one will obey anyone, and I am afraid that they will have to fight to the death.
Thinking of this, Xu Han's eyes lit up, his body arched, and he jumped towards the battlefield violently.
He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come!
