Volume 3 Daoxu Dazang Chapter 79 Burning the Demon Horse Station
"Drive, they ran over there and chased after them. ”
A team of thirty or forty demon cavalry, all armed with steel knives, ran into the distance, and when the demon cavalry walked away, a few heads stuck out from the reeds next to them, it was Ji Xiaowu and others who had just come to the edge of Anshen Mansion.
"I didn't expect to be chased and killed as soon as I entered the edge area of Anshen Mansion, if it was really as planned before, I chose to enter Xiangyang Pass from Anshen Mansion, it was really whimsical, this is the third wave of chasing and killing we have encountered in the past two days, I have to say that the defense of Anshen Mansion is really strict. ”
Ji Xiaowu spit out a mouthful of saliva mixed with dust, looked at the dust raised by the demon clan in the distance after leaving, sensed the situation within ten zhang of the surroundings, confirmed safety, and continued: "This is only the easternmost edge of Anshen Mansion, if we really go deep into Anshen Mansion, we will be surrounded and suppressed in less than a day, I really don't know how those demon slayer teams in Xiangyang Pass survive in this environment." ”
In the past few days, Ji Xiaowu and several people have passed through Cangshan Mansion smoothly, and have not encountered any resistance, Cangshan Mansion belongs to the mansion within the scope of the demon clan, so in terms of inventory or patrol, it is not strictly prohibited, Ji Xiaowu and others relied on strong perception and action, and avoided head-on contact with the demon patrol guards several times, and passed through Cangshan Mansion dangerously and dangerously.
After some discussion, several people decided to choose to pass through Cangshan Mansion and then to Anshen Mansion, along the edge of Anshen Mansion is not to the south, but to the east into Qingzhou's Daheng Mansion, after entering the Daheng Mansion, and then south through the natural danger: on the river, in the west into the territory of Xiangyang Mansion, so that although the distance is doubled, it is safer to enter Xiangyang Pass through Anshen Mansion.
Especially through the river this natural risk, a river can be said to be interspersed with half of the territory of the human race, from the westernmost Yongzhou, to the Great Xia Empire's Jingzhou, then to Jizhou, then to Yanzhou, and finally to Xuzhou and Qingzhou, flowing into the vast East China Sea, vast, magnificent, half of the history of the river, a human race, since the human race began to have written records, the story of the river has not been broken.
And the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou is Shanghe, the vast and magnificent Shanghe, surging, forming a natural barrier, so the eastern part of Jizhou and the border of Qingzhou, with this natural danger there is no need to garrison troops, because it is not suitable for large-scale legion action at all, the demon clan can only sigh when they see this natural danger, helpless, and Ji Xiaowu and others' plan is to go to the river in Daheng Mansion, cross the Shanghe Heavenly Danger and enter Xiangyang Mansion to return to the human realm.
After Ji Xiaowu and the others made sure that they were safe, they hurriedly got up and entered the woods on the side, Mu Shuangyue heard Ji Xiaowu just now, and explained the question about the survival of the Demon Slayer Squad: "The Slayer Steam seems to have a magic array division in each team, and it is well-equipped, the most important thing is that they have the military defense map of Anshen Mansion, although the Demon Clan often changes, but the Slayer Steam can get the latest as soon as possible, as for how to get it, I don't know, I guess the Demon Clan has a spy of our human race." ”
"Don't think about it, there must be, don't talk about this, there must be spies of the demon clan in our human race, I am worried that we have spies of the demon clan in Xiangyang Academy. Ji Xiaowu said as he walked.
Ji Rongrong and Mu Shuangyue, who were shocked by this sentence, stopped directly, Xiao Qingyi listened to them on Ji Xiaowu's back, although she didn't understand, but she still listened carefully, these days were like a dream, more than she had experienced so many years before.
Ji Rongrong's expression obviously changed a little and asked, "There is a spy in Xiangyang Academy?" Xiao Wu, are you sure?"
"It should be, but I don't know who it is, do you remember the corpses of the two deacons we saw in the Dazun Cave Mansion?" Ji Xiaowu said meaningfully.
Reminiscing for a moment, Ji Rongrong nodded.
"I have carefully observed, at that time, the Wu clan we met did not use swords at all, only used that kind of bow and arrow, I was strange at the time, and now I think about it even stranger, when we go back, ask Deacon Taiyan to see if they have seen anyone with a sword, and at that time, the two deacons were obviously attacked by each other, killed in one move, and the expression on their faces was also very strange, so I suspect that there are spies mixed in. ”
A few people have spoken through the woods, to an open land, outside this open land, a stone's throw away is a small-scale city tower, on which is written Demon Horse Station, seeing this city tower, Ji Xiaowu's eyes lit up, retreated to the woods, and several people found a secret place to hide first.
"What's the matter, Xiao Wu, aren't we in a hurry?" asked Mu Shuangyue suspiciously.
Ji Xiaowu looked at the sky, it was still early, there was still a period of time before it got dark, and said mysteriously: "Hehe, I have an idea, let's rest here now, and let's act when it gets dark." ”
The two girls looked at Ji Xiaowu's mysterious expression, and instantly understood that Ji Xiaowu might have some bad attention, and they were fortunate to be smart thanks to Ji Xiaowu's cleverness along the way, and they also saved the day several times.
The curtain frost moon glanced at Ji Xiaowu and said: "You like to be smart, what are you talking about." ”
"Big brother is not clever, he is really smart. Xiao Qingyi whispered behind his back.
When the others heard this, they all smiled helplessly, and Mu Shuangyue came to Xiao Qingyi and squatted down and said, "Xiao Qingyi, you can't get too close to your big brother, you are all damaged by him." ”
Xiao Qingyi looked at Mu Shuangyue with innocent eyes and said: "The big brother didn't take Tsing Yi badly, isn't the curtain sister also very close to the big brother, I saw you lying in his arms last night." ”
"Hahaha"
Looking at Mu Shuangyue, whose face was flushed in an instant, Ji Xiaowu laughed, and Mu Shuangyue, who was ashamed of this sentence, quickly stood up and pinched a certain piece of meat on Ji Xiaowu's waist and rotated it vigorously three hundred and sixty degrees, making you laugh, I will make you laugh.
"Hey, hey, it hurts, my aunt and grandmother are merciful, let's take a rest first, and we'll talk about it in the evening." ”
"Hmph, forget it, spare you. "The curtain frost moon has just stopped, in this place surrounded by strong enemies, the three of them can be regarded as having fun in the bitterness.
......
In the blink of an eye, the moontop treetops, Ji Xiaowu said what he thought of during the day, there must be military horses in this place of the Demon Horse Station, and it is the kind of good horse that may travel thousands of miles a day, there are generally not many guards, and a post station is not a city, so Ji Xiaowu plans to take advantage of the darkness to steal horses, and then go all the way south through Anshen Mansion and enter Daheng Mansion.
Then see if there is a map in the post station, if you really follow the direction all the time, maybe you will go to the wrong place, bring unnecessary trouble, after stealing the horse, and then do some forced dress, I believe you can deceive some checks.
Hearing this idea, Mu Shuangyue and Ji Rongrong's eyes lit up, this plan is feasible, just do it, so they left Mu Shuangyue and Xiao Qingyi to answer in the woods, Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong took advantage of the night to touch under the demon horse post.
This post station is not as big as imagined, the so-called city wall made of adobe piled up around, in fact, it is just an earthen wall with a height of one or two zhang, above the tall building at the entrance of the post station, there is a small group of demon clans patrolling, and the shadow of the demon clan can not be seen elsewhere, it is too close to the border between the human race and the demon clan, so it is a small post station that is strictly defended.
Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong came to a dirt wall, took a deep breath, their bodies were as light as swallows, they jumped over the earth wall after a few climbs, entered the interior of the demon horse post, and landed silently, the two of them squatted down cautiously like raccoon cats, and came to the shadows under the wall to observe the surroundings, there were several wooden thatched huts in the distance with lights on, and the sound of fists and laughter sounded, and there were occasional patrols passing by in the post, and there were not many people.
The two lived in the dark, Ji Rongrong and Ji Xiaowu acted together, they had always listened to Ji Xiaowu, and this time it was the same, Ji Xiaowu whispered: "Sister Rong, let's kill the two demon clans who patrol the night in a while, change their clothes and helmets, and go to find the stable." ”
Ji Rongrong nodded.
A small team patrolled by, two carefully touched it, left and right at the same time, both covered the mouth of a demon patrol, twisted his right hand hard, only heard a small click, the demon clan's head had been pulled down, there was no life, Ji Xiaowu and the two carefully dragged the corpse to the dark, changed into the clothes of the demon clan, and began to look for the stable.
The scope of this demon horse station is not large, Ji Xiaowu and the two quickly found the stable, there are two demon clans on duty on the side of the stable, seeing the two coming, the night is dark, and there is a helmet to cover, the two demon clans did not think much about it, and said before they approached: "This is not yet the time to change the guard, why did you come in advance?"
Ji Xiaowu pressed his throat and said, "I drank too much, get up and pee." Saying that, the two of them had approached the stable, and when they arrived in front of the two demon clansmen, the demon clan frowned when they heard this voice, and there were some questions on the hideous head, why hadn't this voice been heard, but before he could finish thinking, a long sword slashed his throat, and the man came up and pressed his mouth hard to make it unable to make a sound, and on the other side, Ji Rongrong was more fierce than Ji Xiaowu with a fast sword, and directly cut off the head of the demon clan, and the demon clan who was held down by Ji Xiaowu opened his eyes wide, with a dead expression.
After cleaning up, he hurriedly pretended that nothing had happened, and said to Ji Rongrong: "Sister Rong, you are guarding here, I will go to the stationmaster to see if there is a map, once I get it, look at my signal, let's withdraw." ”
Ji Rongrong cautiously observed the surroundings and nodded.
Ji Xiaowu quietly touched the room where the lights were turned on just now, and through the window, he saw that a few wolf-headed demon clans in armor were already drunk, collapsed on the table, climbed through the window and entered the house, and cautiously came to the back room, the room was very messy, Ji Xiaowu saw the map of Qingzhou hanging on the wall at a glance, and was overjoyed, this kind of map is different from military maps, so it is not hidden, and at this time Ji Xiaowu just needs this map.
Put the map into the hole void bracelet, Ji Xiaowu came to the outer room, pulled out the long sword, mobilized the golden pill in the center of the eyebrows, gathered in his hand, and began to yin and qi, only to hear two bangs, Ji Xiaowu flashed a few times, one sword and one sword, quickly killed those wolf head demon clans, and set the house on fire with a fire.
After a while, only to hear the sound of Dangdang firefighting, Ji Xiaowu has already set fire to several houses around, at this time has come to the stable, the two of them cut off the rope of the horses in the stable, a fire also burned the stable, for a time more than a dozen horses galloped around, some horses rushed to the door of the post station, directly broke through the checkpoint out.
There was a mess in the demon horse post, and at this time the demon patrol guards also began to run towards the post station, Ji Xiaowu and Ji Rongrong each rode a horse, chased to the door of the post station and collided with the patrol guards, Ji Xiaowu hurriedly shouted: "You wait to hurry up to put out the fire, I will go to recover the horses." ”
The army strictly ordered that the loss of horses at the post station was regarded as a capital crime, and the patrol guards did not dare to delay at this time, without thinking about it, they hurriedly got out of the way, Ji Xiaowu and two fast horses galloped towards the outside of the post station.
