Chapter Thirty-Seven: Fishing in Troubled Waters
After a few moments, the group finally followed the path and came to the grass where the men in black were ambushing.
The sound ......of horses' hooves is clearly audible.
As the sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, the right hand of the black-clothed leader slowly stroked his waist, and all the black-clothed men put their hands on the hilt of their swords.
"Stop!" Just as the convoy was about to enter the ambush area, the middle-aged man with the sword shouted.
"Old Feng, what's wrong?" the burly man looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously.
"No, it's a little strange, it's a little quiet here. ”
"Hey, you think about it a lot, it's in the middle of the night, and it's a remote place in the suburbs, is there still someone beating gongs and drums to welcome you, or do you think that there are wild mandarin ducks here to stage a live spring palace for you?" said the burly man angrily.
"Uh...... Maybe I'm thinking too much. The middle-aged man was stunned by the burly man's words, and there was indeed no movement when he glanced around, so he replied a little embarrassed.
"Keep going!"
Immediately, the convoy continued to move forward, one second, two seconds, three seconds......
At a certain moment, the convoy finally entered the ambush circle of the men in black.
"Kill!" the leader of the men in black let out a deep sigh, breaking the silence of the night.
In the next moment, dozens of black shadows jumped out of the grass on both sides like ghosts, and the cold and glistening blades in their hands slashed at the guards.
"What!" the burly man and the middle-aged man with the sword were both shocked.
"Enemy attack! The whole team is on alert!" The middle-aged man was the first to react and shouted violently.
However, this shout was still a little late, and the dozen or so guards who did not react were killed almost instantly by the blades that slashed at their heads.
"Damn! You really dare to rob the goods! You have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. As soon as the burly man reacted, he immediately scolded angrily, pulled the mountain axe behind him in front of him, jumped off his horse, and rushed towards the black-clothed men who were besieging him.
"Old cow!" the middle-aged man wanted to stop the strong man, but it was too late.
"Form a formation to meet the enemy!" shouted and ordered everyone, and the middle-aged man immediately slapped the horse's back with his palm, and the whole person jumped into the air, and the long sword in his palm swept away, and he also attacked the people in black.
For a while, the battle began, and all the black-clothed people and the guards of the convoy suddenly became a group, and the two sides were almost the same, but the guards were already small, and more than a dozen people were killed and injured by a sneak attack just now, and they suddenly became precarious.
However, after all, they are the soldiers of the Shangguan family, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, and after listening to the order of the middle-aged man, they immediately formed a formation in a group of three, and they were both offensive and defensive, and for a while they were in a stalemate with many black-clothed people, but they were still at a disadvantage.
In front of the crowd, the burly man who originally wanted to rescue his own guards and the middle-aged man with a sword were all forced back by the black-clothed leader.
"What a powerful swordsman!" the middle-aged man exclaimed, he was also a person who used a sword, and the sword of the black-clothed leader let him know that this person was extraordinary.
"Why are you talking about this now! The strong man shouted angrily and rushed forward, and the huge mountain opening axe in his hand, which was more than one person high, actually emitted a faint blood-red light at this moment, like the axe of death, slashing towards the black-clothed leader.
The middle-aged man also understood that only by solving the black-clothed leader in front of him at this moment could he keep the goods this time, so he immediately followed without hesitation, and the long sword in his hand emitted a faint golden glow, stabbing straight towards the black-clothed leader.
For a while, the three of them also fought, the strong man and the middle-aged man cooperated tacitly, a huge axe to open the mountain was slashed, and a long sword with wind swept away, intertwined into dense lines and attacked the black-clothed leader overwhelmingly.
However, the black-clothed leader was even more extraordinary, pulling out a long sword from his waist, facing the two of them without any confusion, just lightly dancing the long sword, the sword seemed to be alive, and the whole body emitted a faint blue light, dancing like a spiritual snake.
In an instant, dozens of swords were 'split, stabbed, teased, hung, and pointed', and each sword hit exactly the intersection of the attack lines of the two people on the opposite side, instantly defusing their attacks into invisibility. He can even turn defense into attack from time to time to attack the two of them, and the angle of the long sword is tricky, often making the strong man and the middle-aged man scramble.
The three of them were in the battle group, red, gold, and blue, and the three kinds of light slashed, like three gorgeous tassels in the night, which was very dazzling.
Sun Xiaosheng did not rush out with the crowd, but squatted aside to observe the battle of the three people, the cultivation of these three people is the cultivation of the spiritual realm, and the light on the weapon is the reason why their Xuan Qi is separated from the body and infused on the blade, but it seems that the black-clothed leader has more clever means, and after a while, the two people only have the power to parry and have no ability to fight back.
He no longer watched their battle, but instead looked at the wagons full of large boxes that stopped in the middle of the battle on the path.
Sun Xiaosheng's eyes are shining, these are probably good things.
At that moment, Sun Xiaosheng tapped his toes, his body was like a light civet cat, and he didn't make a sound and walked towards the carriage at the end of the convoy.
No one noticed him, Sun Xiaosheng immediately quietly jumped into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw two half-person-high large boxes, Sun Xiaosheng tore open the iron lock.
"Damn!" Sun Xiaosheng couldn't help but exclaim, the golden light flashing in front of him almost dazzled his eyes, and it turned out to be two boxes full of gold.
Sun Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment and wanted to reach out to take it, but when he grabbed a handful, Sun Xiaosheng threw back the gold in his hand.
"With Lao Sun's many years of experience, this last carriage is gold, what is in the carriage in front?" Thinking of this, Sun Xiaosheng couldn't help but be secretly excited, and secretly sighed thanks to his years of experience in 'stealing arts', he immediately turned over and headed towards the next carriage.
Sun Xiaosheng rushed into the next carriage, there were still two large boxes, opened them with his hands and feet, and there were all kinds of precious jewels inside, and they were also full of two large boxes.
With one hand, he tore off the curtain of the carriage, and Sun Xiaosheng wrapped a large handful of jewels and jade, a large bundle, weighing more than 100 catties.
After doing this, he quietly sneaked towards the next carriage, and several times, Sun Xiaosheng carried four or five big bags on his back, which were heavy, and he was a little struggling to press.
Although Sun Xiaosheng walked cautiously, everyone was watching, unless he knew how to stealth to be able to do it without knowing it, and immediately a man in black and a guard discovered him.
Sun Xiaosheng was not flustered at all, and shouted to the crowd, "Code name Heavenly Remnant, on the orders of the leader, quickly collect materials to prevent enemy support from coming!"
Sun Xiaosheng said it was straightforward, not like making up nonsense at all, those people in black did not doubt him, and they all trusted him very much.
As soon as a few enthusiastic black-clothed people saw that there were guards stepping forward to stop Sun Xiaosheng, they immediately rushed up to block it, and they didn't forget to turn around and say to Sun Xiaosheng: "Brother Tiancripple, go and put away the things in the carriage, we will cover you!"
Sun Xiaosheng was moved in his heart, and said in his heart: "Big brother, I love you to death." ”
However, his men did not slow down for half a minute, and in less than a moment they swept almost all the carriages, and the baggage on their bodies was also full of several large bags, almost burying everyone else. Among them, there are all kinds of jewelry, medicinal materials, and Sun Xiaosheng didn't have time to clean them up, so they were all packed up in one go.
At this moment, there was only one carriage left, but this carriage was too close to the three-person battle group, Sun Xiaosheng was afraid of being discovered, thought for a moment, turned his head to look behind him, and saw that those guards were finally killed and injured under the attack of the black-clothed people who were not afraid of death, Sun Xiaosheng immediately shouted at those black-clothed people.
"Brothers, go and help the leader, the leader is dying! rush!" He roared so loudly that he couldn't help but wake up all the people in black, even the leader of the men in black who was fighting the enemy seemed to be affected, and when he looked back, he was caught by the strong man and the middle-aged man who saw the opportunity, and was caught off guard, if it weren't for the black leader's swordsmanship to resist in time, I am afraid that he would really be injured, but this also made him staggered back a few steps in embarrassment.
And this scene happened to be seen by the black-clothed people who had just heard Sun Xiaosheng's shout, and everyone immediately shouted, "Rush! ”
In an instant, all the black-clothed people rushed to the battlefield of the three like a wave, and Sun Xiaosheng almost didn't hold his stomach and laugh when he saw this scene.
But now is not the time to be happy, Sun Xiaosheng put all the big bags and small bags on his body outside the first carriage, and ran into the carriage by himself, because there were too many of these things, and Sun Xiaosheng couldn't get into the carriage at all with these burdens.
As soon as Sun Xiaosheng scurried into the carriage, what caught his eye was not a few large boxes as he imagined, but a bed covered with soft beds, and a sleeping person lying on it.
It's not a naked sleeping beauty as you imagined, it's Sun Xiaosheng's acquaintance "Shangguan Yunze" lying on the bed!
At this moment, Shangguan Yunze's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead, looking very weak.
"Huh, where is the Shangguan family going to transport this guy?" Sun Xiaosheng was puzzled in his heart.
Could it be that this car was loaded with Shangguan Yunze? But if it was just some jewels and medicinal herbs, it wouldn't be enough to be escorted by two powerhouses of the Spirit Realm and many well-trained soldiers. Sun Xiaosheng scratched his head and thought.
After looking around at the carriage, Sun Xiaosheng's eyes suddenly fixed on the wooden bed where Shangguan Yunze was lying, this wooden bed was very strange, it was just placed in the carriage in a boxy shape, and it was about three inches thick.
Sun Xiaosheng knocked subconsciously, and suddenly there was an empty sound of "dong dong ......".
"Dark!" Sun Xiaosheng immediately understood.
Grabbing the outer edge of the wooden bed and pulling it, Sun Xiaosheng directly pulled it away, the wooden bed was like a huge drawer, Sun Xiaosheng looked inside, and saw two beautifully shaped mahogany boxes lying quietly at the innermost end of the wooden box.
"Hehe, I'm a genius!" Sun Xiaosheng immediately took out two boxes, one was very heavy, and the other was very light.
It was too late to open it to check, because Sun Xiaosheng had already discovered through the carriage curtain that the strong men and middle-aged people outside were already scarred by everyone, and I was afraid that they would not last long.
Immediately stuffed the two boxes into the placket, Sun Xiaosheng jumped out of the carriage from behind, and quickly put the large and small packages on the ground on his body, and even held two large packages in his mouth, you can imagine how many things Sun Xiaosheng looted this time.
After packing, Sun Xiaosheng rushed out to the side of the road, mobilizing the qi and blood of the whole body, and the Xuan Qi perfusion of the limbs, and at the same time, the physical strength in the later stage of the mortal body realm completely exploded, and Sun Xiaosheng rushed out like a high-speed motor.
