The next day was a very cloudy day, and there was not a single ray of sunlight in the heavy sky, but a gray cloud.

It's like the mood of everyone in the convoy.

I don't know how many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night, at least when Wu Xie woke up in the morning, he saw several listless people with dark circles under their eyes.

Among them is Lao Bai, who said that he was ready to quit the rivers and lakes and become a storyteller after this disaster relief.

This old Jianghu is very powerful and domineering, but it seems that his heart is actually very empty.

They had now set foot on the mountain road of Nanping Mountain, the mountain road was not easy to walk, they walked on the rugged mountain road for four hours, until after lunch, they only walked about ten miles, but they removed two roadblocks one after another.

It can be seen that the group of people blocking the convoy has no more spare strength. These two barricades are completely incomparable to the two of yesterday, especially the second one, which is simply a bunch of big trees that have been cut down at random.

"They're tired too." Guan Xiong squeezed out a sneer between the horizontal flesh and the scar, and his expression was full of disdain for those who stood in the way, "These soft eggs! Before I could start killing, I was tired and lay down! ”

This big man was originally a dilapidated poor man called Huazi, who could do a hundred generals, relying on the military exploits fought on the battlefields of the north and Qi country, he claimed to be a good man who killed between life and death, and he respected the straightforward and brave warriors in his life, and the most disdainful was this kind of hidden head and tail.

Xu Hai didn't answer, but walked to the trunks of the second barricade and studied them carefully.

"Brother Xu, what do you gain?" Although Shen Yi is very good at kung fu, he is a complete layman for these methods such as tracking and tracing, when discussing countermeasures last night, he already knew that Xu Hai had been a spy and was good at seeing the subtleties, and at this moment, seeing him looking at these giant trees intently, he couldn't help but come over and ask.

Xu Hai shook his head and returned to the car.

"These trees have just been cut down, and from the edge of the knife, it should only be a matter of one or two hours." His face was full of confusion, "But...... Normally, trees are cut down with large axes and long saws, but here—" he said, gesturing to a slightly smaller trunk, "this tree was cut down with a sword." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Xiong and Shen Yi's faces suddenly changed.

Although the big tree was "a little smaller", it was almost as thick as a hug - that is to say, an ordinary man had to stretch his arms to hug it in a circle - and he could cut it off with a sword, whether it was the person who used the sword or the sword, it was not trivial!

Finding that Guan Xiong and Xu Hai turned their heads to look at him, Shen Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "With Shen's skill, if you have a divine weapon in your hand, you can also try it, but ......"

He didn't know what he remembered, his face became darker and darker, and he didn't say any more, but the meaning of his words was already self-evident.

The Nanhua Sword School originally had a famous sword, called "Cutting Water", which was brought with him when Nanhua Gong left Xianshan, with short hair and iron like mud, which was called the treasure of Zhenshan. But this sword has disappeared along with the traitor who killed the master back then, and looking at Shen Yi's face, he must still not have found it.

Shen Yi's martial arts are already extremely high, and he is quite famous in Changning City and even in the entire Eastern Chu Kingdom, and is known as one of the young heroes closest to the innate master in contemporary times, but if he encounters an enemy whose martial arts are slightly inferior to him but is armed with a divine weapon, it is still unknown whether he can defeat it.

"I can't say, I can only fight hard in a minute......" Guan Xiong waved the long-handled broadsword in his hand, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Old brother, it's up to you again this time!" ”

Wu Xie naturally didn't know about the worries of these team leaders, and he was now pondering, thinking about what to do if he encountered the enemy later, should he show his identity to boost morale? Or should we go forward and pull out the flag? Or maybe you play lewd streams and concentrate on killing and injuring enemies in the melee?

"Little brother, homesick?" Seeing Wu Jie's contemplative appearance, the old dart master thought that he was missing his hometown, so he came over and persuaded, "The big husband is ambitious in all directions, you should go out to make a career at a young age, if you can achieve a career, it is good, even if you don't achieve anything, you will have something to talk about in front of your children." Always huddled in your own yard, what's the point! ”

I don't know if Lu Dao was intentional or unintentional, he didn't mention a word about the danger everyone was facing at the moment.

Wu Xie nodded and answered casually.

"I think back then, I was also your age, I didn't know any kung fu at that time, I just relied on a bit of brute strength to go out - at that time, my family was poor, and I brought a total of ten big money, a short shirt, and ......" Lao Bai suddenly became interested, and began to spit and spat to introduce the story of his youth......

“…… It is said that the horse thieves in Liaodong are really fierce to the extreme, and they dare to come up and rob the military salaries escorted by thousands of people in the four major dart bureaus! ”

"And what happened?" I don't know when, a group of young people have gathered around, these young people are at the age of surging blood, and they have the least resistance to this story of Jin Ge's iron horse sword and sword. In the past, Lao Bai told some interesting stories and jokes in the rivers and lakes, and everyone was not very interested, but this time he suddenly told these stories of grievances and life-and-death struggles.

For a while, a lot of people gathered around Lao Bai, but Wu Xie got a glimpse of the opportunity and fled.

It's not that he doesn't want to listen to the old man's storytelling, this old Jianghu is quite eloquent, and he tells the ups and downs of the thrilling experience in a fascinating way, and he is not inferior to the storytellers such as Shan Tianfang on the earth, but now is not the time to listen to the story with peace of mind......

Looking up, although he couldn't see the appearance of the robbers blocking the road, he could feel that there was a murderous aura faintly rising not far away, and these gloomy and cold smells pierced the cold wind of late autumn and filled the haze.

Wu Xie frowned, and clenched the single knife in his hand.

Because of the possibility of a battle, everyone in the convoy was distributed, even him, who was supposed to be in battle at all.

The convoy continued to move forward unhurriedly, slowly approaching the place where the murderous aura came from. The terrain there is extremely treacherous, with cliffs on both sides facing each other, and there is a corner not far ahead, and there is no way to see the situation on the other side of the corner.

Just when Wu Xie was worried about whether everyone would be ambushed, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and several leaders of the convoy had already rushed forward in front of everyone with more than ten masters who could be called elites.

What Wu Xie can discover, several leaders of the team can naturally discover. They went up this time, but they didn't go very far, but only slightly protruded from the team, and shouted: "I don't know if the person blocking the road in front is a friend on that road?" What do you call it? Please draw a line! ”

As soon as the words fell, with a whistle, seven or eight horseback men rushed out from behind the corner. These people are all in armor and even cover their faces, and they are really suspicious to the extreme!

Behind these people, hundreds of people came out with a brush, and these people were also wearing armor and even covering their faces, and the spears with all the weapons were neatly aligned when they walked, as if they had been specially practiced for performance.

At this time, the convoy had stopped and waited, and seeing that the other party was so elite, many people changed their faces.

According to the rules of the Jianghu people, blocking the road and robbing is also a skill, and there is a conventional quasi-official process.

First of all, the robbers have to set up checkpoints - whether they are barricades or standing directly in the middle of the road, in short, they must first stop the target of the robbery.

There is a technical problem here, because robbery is a labor work, and if too much effort is spent when setting up roadblocks, the result is likely to lead to the failure of the robbery; And if you stand directly on the road to stop, you don't have to spend your strength, but you have to weigh whether your small body can withstand the hard collision of the car. How to measure the trade-off between the two is the first basic skill of the bandits.

Secondly, the robbers should show their self-names - regardless of whether it is Song Gongming of Liangshanbo or Dou Erdun of Hejian Mansion, if you want to come out and mix, you must have a loud name, and before doing things, you must play the signboard, so that the robbed person knows who is coming, one is to start your own name, and the other can save a lot of trouble.

So there is also a technical problem here: if your reputation is too bad, such as "I am Chu Bai, an online writer with more than 5,000 words a day", which lacks deterrence, people may not bird you at all, and they will be crushed by the wheels; And if the name is too loud, such as "I am Mo Yan, the Nobel Prize winner in literature", people are likely to disperse on the spot, and only end up grabbing some scraps of cold rice......

The last, that is, the core task of the robbery, is to do it. Things have come to this point, then there is no technical content, anyway, the big fist is more ruthless, either it will bloom rich or it will be blissful, in short, there is no need to think about anything superfluous.

Because this step is simple and easy, even a fool can do it well, so many years ago, there was a Japanese Oda Nobunaga nicknamed fool on the earth, and he was very keen to skip the first two steps and go straight to the point - later because he went too far and broke the rules of the rivers and lakes, he was also skipped the first two steps, and directly hacked to death in a famous scenic spot called Honnoji Temple, and directly attached a large cremation......

Wu Xie was thinking nonsense, while watching Shen Yi and the others negotiate with the leaders of the robbers, while discussing with Jasmine and Du Ruo.

"Aren't there hundreds of people on the other side? Why are there so many hundreds? What about the others? And what about those archers? ”

"Do you still need to ask? You must be hiding and preparing to ambush us! Du Ruo snorted from his nose with disdain, "According to the usual practice, at this time, there should be a trumpet, and then the wooden rolling stones on the cliffs on both sides rained down......"

Wu Xie Leng paused for a moment and looked at the cliffs on both sides.

The terrain here is as told in many stories, with high cliffs on both sides, and there are at least twenty or thirty feet of cliffs if you fall on the rolling stones......

Secretly imagining that terrible situation, he couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, such a scene did not happen, I wonder if the other party did not prepare for this? Still the preparation is not yet complete.

Wu Xie was not the only one who noticed the surrounding terrain, but also the leaders of the convoy. After some negotiation with the other party, they directed the convoy to slowly retreat, set up camp outside the mountain pass, and put on a posture of preparing for a big battle.

"The other party is definitely an elite soldier, trained for more than three years, and has seen blood on the battlefield." At the beginning of tomorrow month, the team leaders began to discuss tomorrow's plan, Guan Xiong said with a gloomy face, "But I only saw the hundred heavy armor soldiers during the day, where are the remaining cavalry and archers?" ”

"Instead of worrying about these, it's better to worry about the sandalwood rolling stones on the cliffs on both sides." Xu Hai sighed, "If you don't solve the problem of rolling stones, this mountain pass won't be able to rush through at all!" ”

"In my opinion, there are no particularly powerful characters among those people, and the master doesn't seem to be there." Shen Yi smiled reluctantly, but his smile was a little ugly, "I'm afraid this is the only good news." ”

As a member of the army, Wu Xie also attended the meeting, but his eyes drifted out of the tent from time to time.

Du Ruo set off to solve the problem of rolling stones, and I don't know if her trip went smoothly or not, and whether it would be dangerous......
