Chapter 198: Red Dust Sword Technique
"It's boring...... Xiao Lu, how long will it take to get to Miaojiang? ”
This is the third time Shang Luo has asked the same question today, and Lu Hanjiang didn't even bother to answer this time, he leaned on the corner of the carriage, yawning with half-lowered eyes.
The people of Miaojiang are reluctant to communicate more with the Central Plains, and they have been going their own way since ancient times, so the more this road goes to the back, the more it is a desolate land where no people are inhabited for hundreds of miles.
I didn't see the spring color in February, and it was white and desolate all the way, no wonder Shang Luo was bored, and even Lu Hanjiang couldn't be interested.
Originally, he could still rely on the Jianghu guests he met on the road to pass the time, but unfortunately I don't know if it was because of the exquisite calculation last time, and Zhou Yuanshan, who had learned from the pain, is now a soldier.
It was not Lu Hanjiang's turn for them to come out to have fun, and those who robbed money blocked the way, they all slapped the past, and even those who came to ask for directions after a few weeks, Zhou Yuanshan would also give them a slap and tell others that he didn't have that kindness.
Having said that, although they wasted a lot of time walking and stopping along the way, it was almost time to reach the territory of Miaojiang.
Just thinking about you, Zhou Yuanshan, who was driving, suddenly grabbed the horse rope with a loud voice, and before Lu Hanjiang could speak, Shang Luo couldn't wait to lift the curtain and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" ”
It could be seen that this girl was suffocated, and the cold wind penetrated into the warm carriage, which made Lu Hanjiang shiver, he tightened the clothes on his body, and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Back to my lord, girl, there seems to be something wrong ahead, wait for the humble post to investigate one or two."
After that, Zhou Yuanshan jumped out of the car, Shang Luo hurriedly put a cloak on his shoulder, and followed with a huff: "Brother Zhou wait for me!" ”
Lu Hanjiang didn't want to move, he lazily moved forward, sat on the wheel and watched the two of them walk towards the white wilderness in front of them.
Zhou Yuanshan's eyes were quite powerful, and he found a trace of a fight just after walking a short distance, and a little further, broken bamboo sticks and more than a dozen corpses that were mostly covered by heavy snow appeared in front of him.
They were all wearing shabby clothes, Zhou Yuanshan stepped forward to check the physical condition of several people, and many of them had the characteristics of practicing martial arts, and then looked at them to unify with bamboo sticks as weapons, it seemed that they were beggar disciples.
After the investigation, Zhou Yuanshan returned to the carriage with the curious Shang Luo.
"My lord," Zhou Yuanshan said in a deep voice: "There was a group of Jianghu guests fighting here, one side was a beggar gang, as for the opponent, the identity is unknown for the time being, but it should be a master with a sword, and all those corpses left are sword wounds." ”
"Sword Wound ......"
Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "But there are other clues?" ”
"Looking at the humble position, although the sword wounds are basically the same, there are still differences in the details, I am afraid that there is more than one murderer, or someone uses two different sword techniques to kill people at the same time." Zhouyuan Mountain Road.
“...... Well, I see, ignore it and keep going. ”
"Commanded by humility."
Zhou Yuanshan continued to drive forward, although Shang Luo had a basket of doubts, Lu Hanjiang couldn't give her any answers at this time, there were too few clues.
I only know that the people who were killed were all beggar disciples, and the weapon used by the murderer was a sword, to be honest, the first person Lu Hanjiang thought of was Huangfu Yushu, but Zhou Yuanshan said that the sword wound was different, so the possibility of him was not high.
The carriage walked forward for a while, and occasionally you could see the violent corpse wilderness on the road, and the beggar gang disciples who were buried by the heavy snow, scattered and counted more than ten people.
Seeing that they were being chased and killed like this, judging from the thickness of the snow on the corpses, this was at least a fight half a day ago.
Seeing the corpse of a tragically dead beggar disciple, Zhou Yuanshan said while driving: "My lord, according to the humble position, these beggar disciples should be killed when they are alone, according to the letter sent by Miao Jiang's brothers, there have been nearly a thousand beggar disciples here, if they are in one place, and there is a master like Yan Fengyun, I am afraid that others will not be easy to get it." ”
Lu Hanjiang thought for a moment and came to a conclusion: "It seems that Yan Fengyun hasn't found anyone yet, and it shouldn't be that person who started it, besides us, there should be a fourth party fishing in troubled waters......"
"Xiao Lu, who are you talking about?" Shang Luo asked impatiently.
"Well, nothing, an inconsequential person." Lu Hanjiang patted Shang Luo's head, and passed it perfunctorily in three or two sentences, without explaining the origin to her.
The three of them sat in the carriage and walked a few miles forward, and found more than ten corpses on the ground.
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the clues of the corpse, suddenly twenty or thirty beggar disciples in tattered clothes and carrying bamboo sticks jumped out of the bushes on both sides.
Zhou Yuanshan quickly retreated to the side of the carriage, looked at the beggar disciples who surrounded them with a solemn expression, and said, "I can't wait to pass through here, I don't know what you mean by this?" ”
One of the leading disciples of the beggar gang stood up and hugged his fists and said: "This brother, I'm sorry, there has been a thief who has been attacking and killing my disciples recently, and I also asked Brother Tai to invite the guests on the carriage to let me wait for a check." ”
"Rude! Is the beggar gang trying to bully more and less? Zhou Yuanshan put on a fist and foot posture, and his attitude was unyielding.
The leading disciple didn't say much, and as soon as he gave the order, a group of beggar disciples also began to circle the carriage with sticks, and it seemed that they were about to form a formation.
Shang Luo stayed in the carriage a little nervously, carefully opened the corner of the curtain to observe the beggar disciples outside, and she whispered: "Xiao Lu, there are a lot of them, what should we do, do you want to go out?" ”
As a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, Shang Luo is naturally no stranger to Shang Luo since she was a child, and she doesn't know how many times she has heard of the prestige of the eighteen palms of the dragon from the mouth of the storyteller, so it is reasonable to be worried at this time.
Lu Hanjiang said abruptly: "If you hear the words of a dead man, forget it, don't take it to heart." ”
Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Isn't it Xiao Lu, are you going to kill them all?" ”
"Not me."
As soon as Lu Hanjiang's words fell, suddenly a beggar gang disciple on the periphery screamed and fell in a pool of blood, with a blue long sword stuck in his back.
"Beware of sneak attacks!"
The leading disciple Tong Kong shrank suddenly, and as soon as he shouted out his words, there was an extra blood mark on his throat.
Many beggar gang disciples looked at the woman who fell from the sky in horror, only to see that her long black hair was tied into a ponytail with a red rope, her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, a little Danzhu on her forehead, and she held a red long sword in her hand, and her steps were like a frightening wave, and she staggered past the three beggar gang disciples, and turned around and these three people each fell down with their necks gushing with blood.
"That's her! Hurry up and fight the dogs! ”
The rest of the beggar disciples hurriedly formed a formation to surround the woman, but the other party stepped on the head of one of the disciples, and Feiyan swept over their heads, and easily held another cyan long sword in his hand.
The woman was holding two swords, one green and one red, and it was like a dazzling storm when she entered the formation of the formation, and the beggar disciples had no power to resist, and they were all sent to the west as if she were chopping melons and vegetables.
This scene was not only that Shang Luo was dumbfounded, and the light in his eyes flickered continuously, but Zhou Yuanshan felt stunned for a while, and he seemed to have seen the swordsmanship made by the dancing woman.
"Do you recognize the woman?" Lu Hanjiang noticed Zhou Yuanshan's strange appearance and asked.
"This, no," Zhou Yuanshan's tone was a little uncertain, and he said: "I don't recognize this woman, but what she has done seems to be the Hongchen Sword Technique." ”
