Chapter 64: The Storm at the Prancing Horse Bridge
May 13, cloudy.
After lunch, Ding Yuanzong, Luo Shitong, and the fifty elite disciples of Dingshan all respectfully gathered in the courtyard of Fuyun Zhai, waiting for the order of the master.
Originally, according to Duan Shaojun's original plan, as soon as noon passed today, they would immediately take arms and weapons and go to the Anhe Yuema Bridge.
However, after a morning of consideration, Duan Shaojun temporarily changed his plan and decided to postpone the plan until after the sun went down.
To go to the Prancing Horse Bridge to intercept Liang Jingzhi, you must be cautious and secret, otherwise, once you are discovered, it is estimated that it will be very troublesome in the future.
After all, an important minister of the imperial court like Liang Jingzhi, after resigning, he would definitely be monitored by some secret departments of the imperial court, otherwise, Yan Wuji would not have sent hundreds of elites to pick him up and go to Hedong.
According to Duan Shaojun's speculation, Liang Jingzhi's visit this time is estimated to have attracted the attention of the secret institutions of the imperial court, and Liang Jingzhi himself also noticed that the situation was not good, so he was in a hurry to find a way to sneak back to Jiangbei.
Appearing at the Prancing Horse Bridge this time, it is estimated that Liang Jingzhi also fled here in secret all the way, and it was precisely because he realized the danger that he would send a distress message and ask the Jiangbei Heavenly Wolf Mansion to send someone to pick him up.
After figuring this out, Duan Shaojun felt that in order to successfully intercept Liang Jingzhi tonight, in addition to considering the expert guards around him, what was more important was that this operation must be secretive, and the hands and feet must be clean, and try not to attract the attention of others.
For example, if they act in broad daylight, the dozens of them carry light machine guns, AK47s and other arms and weapons, which are too conspicuous, even if all the arms and firearms are wrapped in black cloth and detected by those who are interested, it is easy to become suspicious.
Thinking of this, Duan Shaojun decided to act after the sun went down, after all, when it was dark, it was very convenient to do anything, anyway, the Prancing Horse Bridge was only sixty miles away from Dingshan, and with their speed, it was completely too late to rush over.
Duan Shaojun summoned Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong to the bedroom, and told the two of them what he thought, and after Ding Luo and the others listened, they nodded again and again, feeling that the head of the house was worried about it without reason.
So, Duan Shaojun asked everyone to disperse first, and after the sun went down, they would come to Fuyunzhai to gather and act.
After Ding Yuanzong and the others heard this, they dispersed according to Duan Shaojun's instructions.
Before leaving, Duan Shaojun also told them to prepare dozens of night travel costumes, anyway, this operation, it must not be noticed that it was their Dingshan Sword Sect.
............
Before I knew it, a few hours had passed, and the sun had finally set.
As soon as it got dark, Ding Yuanzong, Luo Shitong and others appeared in Fuyun Zhai one after another, waiting for the order of the master.
At this time, everyone had already changed into a black night suit, covered their heads with black cloth, covered their faces with black scarves, and all of them were tightly covered, such a strange and cold dress, people who didn't know thought that they were a group of Jiangyang thieves who were about to kill people and set fires.
At this time, Duan Shaojun stood at the gate of Fuyun Zhai, checked everyone with sharp eyes, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Go, rush to the Leaping Horse Bridge as fast as possible!"
"Obey, master!" all the people bowed their hands respectfully, and then each picked up their own arms and guns, and quickly left Fuyun Zhai, sneaking all the way silently towards the hidden path in the back mountain.
For tonight's action, Duan Shaojun issued a strict order, except for the fifty-two people present, no one must be allowed to know, including other members of this sect.
Seeing a group of black-clothed people, after leaving Fuyun Zhai in an endless stream, Duan Shaojun also put on a scarf and followed out quickly.
As soon as he left Fuyunzhai and came to a bamboo forest in the back mountain, from a distance, Duan Shaojun saw Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong running over carrying a pair of rattan chairs.
Seeing this scene, Duan Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "What are you doing lifting the vice rattan chair?
Hearing this, the two of them put the rattan chair at Duan Shaojun's feet, bent down and said respectfully: "This rattan chair is specially prepared for the head of the sect, the head of the master is the body of a daughter, how can you suffer from the fatigue of a long journey, let the two disciples serve you." ”
"It was originally for me, hehe, you have a heart. ”
Duan Shaojun glanced at the rattan chair with a smile, and said in his heart, Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong, these two guys, are really good at being people, and they know that they don't have martial arts, and once they run quickly, they will definitely not be able to catch up with their pace, so they specially prepared a pair of rattan chairs for themselves.
Thinking of this, Duan Shaojun couldn't help but look at Ding and Luo more, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that the two of them were pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Ding Yuanzong respectfully arched his hand and said, "Master Master, please!"
Duan Shaojun's heart blossomed, but he still had to pretend to be embarrassed on the surface. "Oh, you are really, you are so good to carry the rattan chair, how could I have agreed to let the two of you carry me for sixty miles! Yuanzong, Shitong, you two should know who I am, I am soft-hearted, I can't see others embarrassed, since you insist on this, then I have to sit up, hey, you two, the surname is too stubborn, I don't dare to refuse you, I'm afraid of hurting your self-esteem......"
Duan Shaojun sat on the rattan chair with a reluctant face, still chattering endlessly, Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong always maintained a respectful demeanor, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
After Duan Shaojun sat down, Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong carried the burden on the front and back of the rattan chair together.
At this time, Ding Yuanzong, who was standing in front, turned back with a respectful face and said, "Master Master, please sit tight, the disciple is starting to descend the mountain." ”
Duan Shaojun nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, you just go your way, don't worry about me." ”
As soon as they finished speaking, Ding and Luo lifted the rattan chair and quickly ran towards the bottom of the mountain.
I have to say that with the strength of Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong's fifth-level Gangqi martial artists, lifting the rattan chair is indeed very advantageous, not to mention the speed, and Duan Shaojun feels very stable when sitting on it, even if they carry the rattan chair downhill, there will be no too strong bumps and shaking, which makes Duan Shaojun feel very comfortable.
Soon, under the gallop of everyone, they left the top of the mountain and entered the woods at the foot of the mountain behind Dingshan.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, the terrain gradually flattened, and it became faster and easier to run.
At this moment, Duan Shaojun was half-leaning on the rattan chair, leisurely and leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, looking at Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong who were running hard to lift the chair, and couldn't help nodding with satisfaction, and at the same time, he also secretly sighed in his heart.
"After becoming the head of Dingshan, I said that I was having a good time, little brothers like Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong are not only strong in skill and loyal to themselves, but more importantly, the two of them are very sensible and thoughtful, like such an excellent little brother, where will I find them in the future? Well, we must cultivate them well in the future, train them to become henchmen, and give them a little more benefits......
Today is cloudy, so after dark, it is dark everywhere, and you can barely see your fingers.
Duan Shaojun and the others ran in the silent and uninhabited wilderness woods, basically without making much noise, even if there were, in this remote and uninhabited barren mountains and mountains, it is estimated that no one will see it.
All the people who came tonight were relatively good disciples in the Dingshan Sword Sect, and their strength was relatively strong, so they ran all the way for sixty miles, although it was a little difficult, but everyone still endured it.
After galloping all the way to the southeast for more than an hour, Ding Yuanzong and the others finally slowed down.
"Master, this is An He!"
"Arrived so soon?" Hearing this, Duan Shaojun perked up, hurriedly got down from the rattan chair, came to everyone's side to take a closer look, and found that they had actually come to the bank of a small river at this moment.
The river was not very wide, and the water flow was very calm, but to Duan Shaojun's surprise, he didn't see the so-called Prancing Horse Bridge here at all, not even a single-plank bridge.
"Are you sure the Prancing Horse Bridge is here? Why didn't I see the bridge, did I go to the wrong place?"
Facing Duan Shaojun's question, Ding Yuanzong said respectfully: "There used to be a stone bridge here, but a few years ago, a flash flood washed away the stone bridge, so it became what it is now. ”
Duan Shaojun suddenly realized, and then asked in a low voice: "Since we have arrived at the Yuema Bridge, you should quickly investigate the vicinity and see if there are any suspicious ships and abnormal movements?"
"Yes, master!" After hearing the master's order, Ding Yuanzong and Luo Shitong immediately took a few people and went to the upper and lower reaches of the river to investigate.
After a while, everyone went and returned, and they all reported to Duan Shaojun, saying that they had not found any suspicious movements near the Anhe River.
Hearing this, Duan Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that we came too early?
At this moment, a strange noise suddenly erupted in the night sky across the river.
Suddenly, Ding Yuanzong and the others changed color, and their pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
