Chapter 70: Two Sets of People
Chapter 69: Two Groups of People
On a summer night, there is a cool breeze.
Zheng Qingluan rode on the horse, and her body rose and fell as the horse ran, and her heart never relaxed for a moment.
This time I came out, followed by a sword and a bow. Expecting these two girls to work hard for themselves is a dream. I hope they are really loyal to the royal family, and it is a blessing to be able to do their best to protect Song Chengan.
Zhou Hai is the person Zheng Laosan tried his best to let him take! Although the execution is first-class, after all, he has been away from the battlefield for many years, and there are still a few percent of his skills left, which is unknown.
Brother Erlang, it may be possible to deal with hairy thieves, robbers, and mountain bandits, but against a well-trained killer, Zheng Qingluan is still worried about hurting him, and it is difficult to explain to the second uncle and second aunt.
Ghost Five, according to Wang Xinghua, is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. With him, he is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts to make trouble along the way.
Coupled with Song Chengan and the big-eyed master and servant, a group of eight people, along the official road, have been running for two hours, and now they have just passed the city.
"Hey, stinky girl-" Song Chengan shouted at Zheng Qingluan, "Oh! it's Luan Ye!"
Lord Luan is a new name for Zheng Qingluan!
Her men's dress is a little bit more than Song Chengan, who thinks she is 'Longzhang and Phoenix', and her sassy and heroic spirit makes Song Chengan shout 'Luan Ye' sourly. The angry Zheng Qingluan wants to kick him!
"If you have something to say, let it go!" Zheng Qingluan deliberately suppressed his voice to speak, and he was a little indistinguishable for a while.
"Vulgar!" Song Chengan said with disdain, "Who would a well-educated lady shout out at every turn?"
"Then you will point to the famous lady galloping in the starry night and escort you back to Beijing!" Zheng Qingluan looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky, and raised his voice, "Rest meeting!"
When I really stopped the horse, I found that there was no place to sit on the side of the road, the dew had already wet the grass and trees, and the clothes on everyone's bodies were also damp.
"It's already past the city! It's still half a day away from the provincial capital, so how can you rest if you don't have a store in front of the village or behind it?" Song Chengan sat in the middle of the road, looking tired, "If you walk for a while, maybe there will be a village post station." โ
"People can persevere, can horses?" replied Zheng Qingluan. She was looking around, and saw that the surroundings were really empty, and even the weeds did not reach people's calves, so they should not be able to hide people. I was a little relieved.
"What kind of broken horse are you?" Song Chengan pouted at the horses, "When I return to the capital, I will give you one and two Dawan good horses!" But he said in his heart, the war horse that the Xiao family cultivated and trained by himself is a good horse that cannot be changed, how can this girl not get one or two to ride by herself? I couldn't help but look at this girl secretly. She stood on the side of the road, whispering something to the man named Onigo, her hand pointing around from time to time, with a solemn expression.
Song Chengan followed her fingers and looked around, it was an empty open field. He is not an idiot, he only dared to shout to Zheng Qingluan after observing just now, this area is much safer after all! She is so careful, what else is there to guard against?
When he came back to his senses, he found that except for Zheng Qingluan and Ghost Wu, the rest of the people were sitting around him, with their backs to him, and encircled him in the center.
"What did the girl see?" Seeing Zheng Qingluan, Ghost Wu was always frowning, and he couldn't stop looking at the gentle slopes dozens of meters away on both sides of the road. But to be honest, it wasn't very bright yet, and all I could see was darkness. What could there be?
"I don't know!" Zheng Qingluan shook her head slightly, "I just can't see anything to be anxious!" she always felt that something was wrong with this place. The safer the place, the easier it is for people to let their guard down. She gritted her teeth, still choosing to trust her instincts. She led the horses one by one, and stuffed the reins of the horses into the people sitting together, forming a wall of flesh, which was the first line of defense.
"Luan'er, did you find something?" Erlang said and was about to stand up.
"Don't move!" Zheng Qingluan hurriedly pressed his shoulder, "I just feel uneasy! No matter what happens for a while, your formation can't be messed up." Then he looked at the others, "I'll go over there and have a look." She pointed in the direction of the gentle slope.
"If you don't think it's right, let's leave now! Now is not the time to be a hero!" Jiro lowered his voice. In his heart, it is naturally best to be able to change the court, and it is naturally best to have an official body. If not, the rivers and lakes will be at ease, and it will not be good if they have not tasted it! No king, grandson, or nobleman is as important as the arrival of relatives.
He, like Ghost Five, lacks reverence for the imperial court.
"If we are sleepy and tired, if others calculate our footsteps and wait for work here, if we want to run, we must be willing to do it! If there are really people in ambush here, we will not destroy them, but go forward, and when the time comes, there will be an ambush in front and a chasing army in the back, and the situation will be even more dangerous. Zheng Qingluan's voice was neither high nor low, just as everyone could hear it, "It's better to divide it!"
"There is some truth in your assumption!" Song Cheng'an said, "But how can you hide people in this open land?"
"Choose a place on high ground, dig a pit, people hide in it, put branches and weeds on the pit, don't use bows and arrows, choose a crossbow, it's not difficult to shoot an individual at a distance of one hundred and ten steps!" Seeing that Song Chengan still had to retort, "Don't say that the crossbow is a controlled instrument in the army! If others can't have it! Don't say that the light is dim and you can't see clearly, you should understand in your heart that for a well-trained person, even if he can't see his five fingers, he also has a way to determine the direction of the target." โ
Song Chengan gritted his teeth and had to admit that this girl's statement was correct, "Listen to you!"
Zheng Qingluan turned around to leave, but Zhou Hai suddenly said, "Miss, be careful in everything!" He obeyed the order and did not say anything to replace Ghost Five, he knew in his heart that Ghost Five was indeed more suitable than himself.
Zheng Qingluan smiled and nodded, meaning that I received your concern.
In the blink of an eye, I couldn't see the two of them.
What is the number of Ghost Five's kung fu, Zheng Qingluan doesn't know, he can feel that he is nearby, but he can't see anyone. And she can only crawl forward quickly, and the ghosts in the dark are amazing, what kind of road is this? Although the movements are indecent, they are very suitable for most people to practice, even if they have no internal strength, it is good to be able to practice to such a situation.
Arriving at the slope, Zheng Qingluan's heart fell to the ground, it seemed that his guess was correct, and there was indeed someone. Their methods of hiding traces were quite rough in Zheng Qingluan's eyes. From the trace analysis, there are only two people. But this just shows that these two people must be extraordinary guys.
She made a gesture to point out where the two were hiding, she knew, Ghost Five could see it, and she could understand it.
The closer she got to the two, the slower Zheng Qingluan's movements became, until she could hear the sound of the two of them breathing, she stopped, held the dagger in her hand gently, and was ready to go. She felt the fluctuations in the air, and knew that it was Ghost Five's shot, and she also quickly burst out, seeing that Ghost Five's flying knife had slashed into one person's throat, and her dagger stabbed into the throat of another person at the same time, and in an instant, two pillars of blood soared. Zheng Qingluan was still wondering if these people's skills were really good, so he felt that something was mixed with the sound of the wind coming towards them, and before he could think about it, he hurriedly pulled over the ghost five, and quickly rolled into the dirt pit where the two people who were killed were hiding, only to see that it was a long crossbow whistling by, obviously, there were people behind the side!
It's really 'praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind'!
Zheng Qingluan's heart tightened! Things are obviously wrong!
These were obviously two groups of people! The two people who were killed seemed to be frightened! They pretended to rob and kill Song Chengan! But the person who shot the crossbow just now should really want to kill someone!
Who are these two groups of people? What is their purpose? Zheng Qingluan didn't have time to think about it, what she had to do now was to eliminate the other group of people hiding in the shadows as soon as possible.
"The girl saved her life!" Oni Wu whispered. He's a man of few words, and the implication is that I owe you my life.
"It's me who should thank you! Risking your life for the sake of our family!" Zheng Qingluan said not kind words, but was sincerely grateful. Although Wang Xinghua's father and son both rescued the ghost five, and he helped the Zheng family to repay the Wang family's kindness, this kind of temperament alone made Zheng Qingluan quite favorable! In modern times, she has seen many examples of being blackmailed because of righteousness and courage, and she feels that the most dazzling thing in this era is this ancient style of 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness.' The brightest light in human nature is the character of 'great loyalty, great filial piety, great benevolence and great righteousness'.
Ghost Wu didn't speak, and Zheng Qingluan didn't say anything more. She took a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and dripped a drop of liquid on the blade of the dagger, which adhered to the blade like grease. Onigo's eyes shrank, he had never seen this kind of โกโก before. He handed over his flying knife and asked Zheng Qingluan to paint it with โกโก. The opponent has a crossbow in his hand, and it is impossible to have a chance to fight in close combat, so he can only hurt people with hidden weapons. He was mixed in the rivers and lakes, he was not a decent gentleman, but when he saw this little girl acting ruthlessly, he felt that he had lost his temper.
"See blood to seal your throat!" Zheng Qingluan reminded, and handed over a porcelain bottle by the way, "It can cure all kinds of poisons! Even if it is poisonous, it can also play a role in suppression." โ
Ghost Wu took it and gave the little girl a complicated look! This kind of thing is a treasure that is hard to find in the rivers and lakes, so I gave it to myself, it is really enough to be a friend and righteous enough!
Ghost Five got up, and he had to lure people out before he could do it. Zheng Qingluan hurriedly grabbed him and pointed to the two corpses with his finger. Oni Five nodded, indicating that he understood. The two of them lifted the body up, and they did not come forward. The crossbow over there flew over, and two of them shot at the same time, which proved that there were at least two people hidden.
Zheng Qingluan's dagger and Ghost Five's dart also took the opportunity to shoot out at the same time, letting out two screams, and there was no sound in an instant.
Zheng Qingluan didn't dare to be careless, and cautiously crawled over, seeing that there were really only two people, and there were no hidden enemies, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
Now, the sky is dawning, and everything around is in full view. This crisis is over!
But the suspicion in her heart was even heavier! She looked at Song Cheng'an who came over, and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Did he really have no idea?
