The wind and sand in the small sand sea were big, and the group rode on the horses with masks, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The horse team left the post house to the west, walked along the small river outside the post house for a while, passed a lake and entered the Gobi, the road was not very clear, at a glance it was all a yellow gravel land, but there were also green sand grass that stubbornly emerged. There were no people on the road, only the caravan of caravans. There is also a square mound that appears every five miles on the side of the road, indicating that the horse team is indeed walking on the post road of the Tang Empire.

Zhou Quanhai, the captain of the Zhenwu Military Academy who led the team, was very experienced, and led the horse team to maintain a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi were riding horses for the first time to experience such an environment, and their bodies were a little weak, and when they arrived at the first post house thirty miles away, Zhou Quanhai thoughtfully asked Xiao Cong, and the people and horses went in for a little rest. Xiao Cong agreed.

When he and Shen Qingyi dismounted, they felt that both legs were wooden, and a few maids were only better than them. Xiao Yan and Si Mo immediately stepped forward to help Xiao Cong, Bai Su and Xiang Lan also helped Shen Qingyi left and right, walked forward more than a dozen steps, and entered the post house.

The post houses are built where there is a water source, and the outpost cavalry has already informed the post house to prepare hot water. Because Datang attaches great importance to post delivery, even if the Bianzhou Post House is simple - it is said to be a hall, but it is actually a large courtyard - it is cleaner than the merchant's mansion, and the servants and maids can sit on a layer of mats in the room. Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi sat on the couch covered with silk cloth, fortunately they were wearing long riding boots and breech trousers with hip and leg guards, and the inner legs and buttocks were not worn out of the skin.

After the horse team traveled another thirty miles, and after leaving the next post house, high and low sand dunes gradually appeared on the Gobi Desert of Pingchuan, and these sand dunes rising from the ground had strange shapes, with star-shaped and crescent-shaped ones, and some were as high as 100 meters. Xiao Yan ran around the horse in amazement, and found that there were many crescent sand dunes dotted with green plants on the sunny side, but there was no grass on the back, and ran back to the horse to ask a captain of the Zhenwu Army, who said with a look of awe: "This is a miracle of heaven and earth." ”

It doesn't matter if there is a god or not, but the creation of heaven and earth has its own magic, no matter how strong the power of people is, even if they are masters of the innate realm, in this boundless sea of sand, I am afraid that they will give birth to a small heart, right? Xiao Yan suddenly understood what her mother said, "The strong need to be afraid", this fear is not afraid of a certain person, but fear of heaven and earth, fear of rules, and do not regard the world as an ant because of the strong, because under heaven and earth, no matter how strong a person is, he is also an ant.

When she thought of this, she felt that the hanging bright water droplets on the spiritual platform were becoming more and more clear and clear, and her state of mind was actually one step further.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that the yellow sand in the sky had also become vivid.

After walking seven or eight miles, the sky gradually became cloudy, and the sand wind gradually increased. After walking for another two miles, Zhou Quanhai looked up at the gradually lowering clouds, frowned, reined in the horse's reins and galloped to Xiao Cong's side, stretched out his hand to take off his mask, and said, "Shizi, looking at this sky, there may be a sandstorm." Seventeen or eighteen miles further is the post house, no matter whether this sandstorm comes or not, it is best to gallop over it in one go. "It means speeding up, no longer caring about horsepower, and certainly not about people.

Xiao Cong knew that the current speed was slowed down because he and Shen Qingyi were worried about him, so he nodded and said, "Be prepared, it's better to go to the post house early." ”

So the order went down, and the horse team quickened up and galloped forward for three or four miles, the wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, and looking to the eastern sky, the sky there was a vast yellow patch. After galloping for another two or three miles, the Gobi Desert in front of him suddenly cracked, and a canyon that widened to the north appeared. The horse team galloped on the east side of the canyon, and then went more than ten zhang to the east, there was a reddish-brown stone mountain, the mountain was less than ten zhang high, but the north and south stretched for about a few miles. The horse team galloped between the Red Mountain and the canyon, and when they got out of the canyon, they approached the post house.

But after only two miles, I saw the yellow sand on the outside of the red brown mountain, three tornadoes from far and near, and there must be moving sand dunes below, and the distance was still four or five miles away, but the long dragon of the yellow sandstorm made people shudder. Zhou Quanhai shouted: "Full speed ahead, leave the sandstorm behind!" ”

Everyone leaned over and galloped with their horses, and the sound of horses' hooves on the gravel ground was like a torrential rain.

Two guards in the cavalry suddenly raised their heads, and Xiao Yan also suddenly pulled the reins of his horse and shouted, "There is an enemy!" ”

Before the words fell, more than a dozen figures had jumped up from the back of the red brown mountain, and everyone's faces changed.

One of the guards in front of Xiao Cong's left shouted: "The cavalry is in formation to protect the world." He pounced first, and flew out from the left and right with seven or eight figures.

After Xiao Cong was attacked in Yuanzhou, Xiao Yu transferred nine masters from his home to meet the enemies who pounced on him.

Zhou Quanhai and Xiao Chengzhong reacted quickly, and immediately commanded the cavalry and tooth soldiers to form a circular formation, protecting Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi in the middle. Xiao Chengxin and other guards also guarded the prince and his wife in different directions.

One of the guards behind Xiao Cong suddenly spoke: "The other party has a true realm. ”

The guards were shocked.

Xiao Cong looked at the guard with a solemn face, "Ninth Uncle Ancestor? ”

Xiao Meng had already swept out.

From behind the reddish-brown mountain, a red cloud also freed up.

It was an old man in a red robe, with curly brown hair under a red bowler hat, and a pair of blue pupils in his sunken eye sockets, shining faintly.

He laughed out loud, threw himself in the air, and threw two punches at Xiao Meng.

Xiao Meng also practiced boxing and immediately hit back with two punches.

The fist wind and the fist wind struck each other, and it was like thunder, and the rocks of the red-brown mountain collapsed a large area, and the Xiao clan guards and attackers who were fighting around were busy dodging and avoiding it. The cavalry below suffered, the big stones smashed down, some immediately raised their shields, some swung their swords and struck, but the stones were coerced by the internal force of the masters of the Cave True Realm, and the straight pierced the round shield to penetrate the people again, and those who swung their knives and knocked the stones were also shocked by the strong force on the stones to vomit blood and fly upside down, and the internal organs were already broken, and the horses that did not have time to dodge were hit by the stones and fell to the ground howling.

Seeing this tragic situation, Xiao Meng was furious and scolded: "Despicable! ”

The blue-eyed old man snorted and said in a somewhat strange Tang dialect: "The city gate is on fire, and the pond fish are affected. I don't blame you for that. "Who made you too weak chickens.

Xiao Chengzhong shouted loudly: "Protect the prince to the west!" ”

The Acquired Grandmaster will not take action against the Cave True Realm - unless it is someone from the assassination organization - but the two Acquired Grandmasters will not be affected by this rule. This blue-eyed old man is obviously a master of the Cave Truth Realm who came to contain them, and by the way, he has the idea of "fire at the city gate", if the prince suffers from the "fish in the pond" in the "fire at the city gate", it is not considered that he broke the rules.

Everyone figured out this truth, and immediately escorted the prince and his wife to the canyon, trying to stay away from the red brown mountain.

The blue-eyed old man was sinister, and with one punch forced Xiao Meng to move towards the cavalry.

Xiao Meng only advanced to the late stage of the Cave Realm half a year ago, and the opponent had obviously entered the late stage of the Cave Realm for a long time, and he was superior to him in terms of internal strength.

Xiao Meng played a real fire, he was a violent character, under this anger, the punch is only offensive but not defensive, and every punch carries the meaning of losing both, very ruthless.

This strong one is afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal is afraid of not dying, the blue-eyed old man does not mean to lose both, he is just here to contain the hidden guards of the Cave True Realm around Xiao Cong, it is not his task to kill Xiao Cong, he is not an assassin, and he still has to abide by the rule of "the acquired master does not shoot below the Cave Realm", of course, Xiao Cong was killed by the "Pond Fish", that is not his violation of the rules, but Xiao Meng's desperate posture made the blue-eyed old man have to retreat and avoid his front.

One of them died, the other retreated, and gradually hit the front, and the farther and farther they farthered, they could only vaguely hear the whistling sound of the fist wind and the yellow sand rolling in front of them. As soon as these two big killers were far away, both the people on Xiao Cong's side and the enemy masters who fought with the hidden guards were relieved - the fist wind of the big killer shook and did not distinguish between the enemy and me.

As soon as Zhou Quanhai and Xiao Chengzhong counted the men and horses, there were more than 100 dead cavalry and tooth soldiers, and the faces of both of them turned dark. But this is not the time to feel distressed, the tornado sandstorm in the east is a mile or two closer, it is impossible to rush forward, the battlefield of the two great masters is in front, and it is not appropriate to retreat, who knows if there is an ambush behind?

Zhou Quanhai immediately shouted: "Get off the horse!" Piling! According to Ma Shou! The front row is on the crossbow, and the back row is on the bow. ”

Even Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi, everyone dismounted one after another, and the horses were also appeased by the cavalry, bent their front legs, and lay on the ground. The cavalry on the periphery are all half-kneeling behind the horses, the first two rows are crossbows, the back two rows are bows, and the arrows are facing the direction of the red-brown mountain.

The tooth soldiers in the inner circle were also experienced, and they took the one-foot-long stalks from the saddle, and the tips of the stalks were downward, and the two of them plunged into the gravel behind the horses, eight feet deep, leaving only two feet of tail stalks. When a tornado and sandstorm blows, people hide behind their horses on their stomachs, holding their poles with both hands, so as to prevent them from being swept away by the wind to the greatest extent, which is the experience of the Hexi cavalry who walked through the sand sea.

Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi's piles were the first to be laid, and several guards beat the piles of Bai Su and other maids, and whispered to the sandstorm to deal with when it came.

Xiao Yan didn't hit the pile, she sent a message to Xiao Chengzhong: [When the sandstorm came, you protected the fourth brother, and I protected my sister-in-law. 】

Xiao Chengzhong looked at her and nodded slightly, Seventeen Langjun arranged it best.

Xiao Yan looked up at the battle in the Red Brown Mountain, his eyebrows furrowed, the two sides of the battle were masters of the Ascending Extreme Realm, four of them were in the late stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm, three were in the middle of the opponent's middle stage and one in the early stage, and the other was entangled by the enemy's three in the middle of the Ascending Extreme Realm, and the remaining one was pressed and beaten by the two mid-stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm, and the shape was already in danger.

Xiao Yan wanted to go to the rescue, but he was worried that the sandstorm would come soon, so his heart moved, and he put his autumn knife into the sheath, took the black lacquered horned bow used on the school field from his horseback, took a heavy arrow from the saddle bow bag, and pulled the string to aim.

Her gaze shrunk like a needle, focusing on the mid-Ascend Realm of the enemy in a brown robe and a yellow curly beard.

At this moment, the clashing of blades and shouts, the breathing of guards and cavalry in the distance, and the sound of tornadoes and sandstorms in the distance all left her.

Essence, qi and spirit are condensed.

There was only that one person in her eyes.

The tip of the arrow moved with the man's movement, and the internal strength of the bowstring condensed at the tip of the arrow, winding like an eight-strand rope.

The brown-robed tendrilist who was fighting with his companions suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a crisis arose in his heart, and he instinctively went to the left side, feeling a pain in his shoulder socket, and a heavy arrow penetrated into his shoulder blade. He was horrified in his heart, if it hadn't suddenly moved to the left, this arrow would have pierced his heart from the back. His rejoicing was only for a moment, and a wave of violence erupted from the tip of the arrow.

Strike!

A hole burst out of his shoulder socket.

Xiao Yan's second arrow had already been shot in a row.

The brown-robed tendrilist with a hole in his left shoulder widened his eyes, and a heavy arrow pierced his waist, blasting his body horizontally through the middle, and the two corpses were disconnected and rolled down the red-brown mountain.

There was a "hissing" sound from the cavalry team under the mountain, it was too sharp! - Two arrows explode and one ascends to the Extreme Realm!

Xiao Yan's heart only began to beat slowly at this time, the two arrows just now were the archery skills she temporarily comprehended, and the Hengshan Destruction of the horizontal knife combat skill was used in archery, and the internal strength was contained in the end of the arrow, and the energy would burst when it was shot into the human body, and she took a name in her heart: Burst Arrow.

She was not very familiar with the first arrow, only one hole was opened, and the second arrow was experienced. Of course, the main thing to be able to make up the credit is to hit the other party by surprise.

Her two arrows violently solved another opponent who had ascended to the extreme realm and fought side by side with the brown-robed tendrils, and was shocked in the hearts of the other opponent, and was seized by the Xiao Clan's hidden guard, who was at a disadvantage, and broke into the flaw caused by the opponent's instant distraction, breaking off the opponent's arm.

Seeing that this hidden guard had gained the upper hand, Xiao Yan decisively looked for the next target.

But her two arrows have made the enemy master more vigilant, and it will be difficult to make a success with one arrow, after all, she is not entering the Tao with arrows.

Xiao Yan didn't seek to hurt the enemy, in fact, she pulled her bow and aimed like this to help her own master, which made the enemy's master have to be distracted to deal with it in the fight, which reduced the pressure on the hidden guard.

The author has something to say: in her eyes, there is only that one person. - Was it misled by a synopsis? (snickering)

In other words, this is the context~
