The clouds and sunshine change, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and the convoy has crossed the boundary of Jingzhou in a few days, and went straight to Lin'an.

Except for changing horses at the post station, replenishing grain and grass, and resting the rims, there is no extra stop.

Jingzhou to Jiangcheng is only a day's journey, but if you get out of Jiangcheng, there is nowhere to stay.

"Don't settle in Jiangcheng tonight, prepare to travel at night, and rest after touching Daye at night." Tang Xiaotian instructed the dart master who was driving the car.

Deng Tianyuan didn't understand why he made this decision, and asked: "Big brother, this Jiangcheng is two hundred miles from Daye to the least, and it is still necessary to hurry up during the day, how can you pass the night walk?" ”

Tang Xiaotian said with a smile: "If you can't pass tonight, you will pass tomorrow night, I mean that from now on, it will be changed to rest during the day and rush at night." ”

Seeing that Deng Tianyuan's puzzled look still didn't understand, Tang Xiaotian explained: "The area from Jiangcheng to Daye, there have been many bandits since ancient times, although we are not afraid of ordinary thieves, we don't have to spend time with him. ”

Deng Tianyuan nodded and said suddenly: "That's right, if you come to help the thief who doesn't have long eyes, it will be troublesome." ”

Generally, thieves and bandits who occupy the mountain are kings, which mountain head does not have more than 100 people under his hands, and it is possible for larger gangs or even thousands of people, and the people who came out of the Evergreen Dart Bureau this time, plus Tang Xiaotian and Deng Tianyuan, are only a dozen people, and even if the 100-odd bandit gang is like chopping melons and vegetables, it will take a lot of time for them to be killed.

The dart master in the car shouted to the people in the next car at the top of his voice: "Give the order to go down, and then hurry." ”

The car in front passed to the car, the car and horses did not stop, everyone had been ordered, non-stop, ready to rush out of Jiangcheng before dark.

As soon as the convoy of the Evergreen Dart Bureau walked by, a carriage slowly turned out of the col behind it.

Xiao Ding and Zhou Ziheng sat side by side, not because he liked the feeling of the evening breeze, but because he felt that the sound of horses' hooves at this moment was far more beautiful than the snoring of the moon in the sky.

Xiao Ding's punches and kicks all the way, and Tang Qingqing's shouting that opened his throat, failed to interrupt Sikong Picking Moon's snoring.

So when he sat next to Zhou Ziheng, he suddenly felt that the sound of horses' hooves was so pleasant.

Night has fallen, and the distant mountains are blurred.

On both sides of the road, the grass and trees are forested, and the occasional chirping of insects enters the ears with the wind, and it feels desolate and desolate.

Xiao Ding suddenly patted his head and sighed.

He found out that he had made a fatal mistake.

Tang Xiaotian suddenly changed to a night walk, and he must have prepared in advance, but they had not discussed this matter.

Although the horse can see at night, if there is no other lighting tool, after all, the eyesight is limited, and it will not dare to rush if you whip it up.

Sure enough, the convoy of the Evergreen Dart Bureau hung two strings of lanterns high on each carriage, each with four lanterns, although not as bright as day, but enough to illuminate them, and the speed of the carriage and horses was no slower than that of daytime.

After nightfall, the speed of the "cloud car" began to slow down significantly, Xiao Ding anxiously crossed the thumb and index finger of his right hand into a ring, put it in his mouth, and whistled vigorously, but the distance was too far, plus the sound of horses' hooves speeding under the night wind, how could the people of the Evergreen Dart Bureau hear.

The more time passed, the farther the two cars were apart, and suddenly lost the information of the carriage and horse in front of him, Tang Qingqing was anxious, and he spoke with a slight cry: "What to do, Xiaoding, you quickly think of a way." ”

Xiao Ding thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, the thin monkey and I will catch up with them first, you and Hengbo will follow the official road, remember, don't take the path." ”

Sikong Jieyue had already woken up, he took out an object as long as a child's arm with bamboo chopsticks from his arms, handed it to Tang Qingqing from the window, and explained: "This is the signal fireworks of the Perak Hall. ”

After speaking, he and Xiao Ding launched the top light work and swept forward.

The light skills of the two of them are unmatched in the world.

The two flew side by side, seemingly with comparable skills, neither of them wanted to leave the other behind, and for a while they only felt the sound of the wind in their ears, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road quickly retreated.

"Cheer up, everyone, this road is dense and rugged, and if anyone dares to hit the idea of this dart, they should set up an ambush here and wait." Tang Xiaotian said awe-inspiringly.

As soon as the words fell, the dart master who was driving suddenly lifted the reins, and the horses and horses in the hurry suddenly stopped, and the people in the car almost fell, and the horses behind them also stopped in a hurry.

"What's the alarm?" Tang Xiaotian lifted the curtain and asked, as far as his eyes could see, his heart was shocked.

I saw that in the middle of the official road ahead, there was a wave of people and horses, and the people on horseback were all dressed in black, with masks on their faces, and the masks were the kind of Peking Opera faces, with different colors, which looked really weird in the night.

After all, Tang Xiaotian was a person who had seen the world, and he was not very frightened, he secretly counted to himself, there were a total of thirteen horsemen on the opposite side, divided into two rows, six people in the front row and seven people in the back row.

The six people in front of them all carry a string of lanterns, and three of them are a string of lanterns.

Among the seven people in the back row, except for the middle one, the others also carried a string of lanterns.

The lights of the Evergreen Dart Bureau were bright enough, and with the lights on the opposite side, mosquitoes could already be seen within a radius of dozens of zhang.

Tang Xiaotian jumped out of the carriage, took a few steps forward, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Tang Xiaotian, the lord of Tangjiabao in Xia Naishu, is currently the head of the Evergreen Dart Bureau. “

Tang Xiaotian is worthy of being an old Jianghu, he first said the name of Tangjiabao, if the other party knows each other, he will give face, if the other party insists on robbing the dart, reporting the name of Tangjiabao also has a threatening effect.

After all, Tangjiabao has been famous for its poisonous martial arts for more than 100 years, and it is not in vain, and the prestige of Biluo needles has long been resounding in the rivers and lakes.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't pay attention, the person in the middle of the back row seemed to be the leader, he was wearing a white mask, the mask had no pattern, and it was miserable and white, and among the many flower face masks, it looked even more mysterious.

Someone in the front row said: "The Thirteen Taibao shoots, never comes back, and those who know each other put down the dart cart, but let them go and wait for a way out, otherwise don't blame the sword for being ruthless." “

Behind Tang Xiaotian, the dart master of the Evergreen Dart Bureau had already unsheathed his sword, and Deng Tianyuan shouted loudly: "Ignorant bandits, don't be rampant, just let the horse come." “

The leading white-masked man sneered, stopped talking, and waved his left hand forward in an offensive gesture.

The twelve men suddenly put their lanterns in their saddles, kicked their horses together, leaped up, and slashed out of their swords.

It turned out that there was a bamboo tube tied to the saddle, just enough to insert the bamboo pole of the lantern.

These people have been trained for a long time and hard, and their movements are fast and uniform.

Their swordsmanship is not fancy, but it is very effective.

Because it's fast, it's effective.

The dart masters of the Evergreen Dart Bureau are all experienced in a hundred battles, and there are four people who are still the chief dart heads of the original eight dart games, and their strength is not weak.

There are a total of fourteen people who came out this time, and it happened to be one-on-one.

Tang Xiaotian and Deng Tianyuan exchanged glances, and the two of them drew their swords at the same time, and the leader flew over in both directions.

It is an eternal truth that the thief captures the king first.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to any morality.

At the same time as Tang Xiaotian jumped up, the Biluo needle in his left hand had already pressed the motor spring, and the Biluo needle shot directly at the fatal place on the white mask man's chest like lightning, as long as he was forced off the horse, Deng Tianyuan and his two swords could quickly defeat the enemy.

Who knew that the white-masked man sat peacefully on the horse's back, unmoving, with a flick of the long sleeve of his right hand, and the biluo needles sank into the sea like mud cows.

The two of them were shocked, exchanged glances again, and both jumped up, one left and one right, and stabbed the man in the chest and abdomen.

Tang Xiaotian and Deng Tianyuan are both masters who have been famous for many years, and in this urgency, they have made their birth level unlearned, the sword moves are castrated like electricity, the three-foot sword blade, the essence of light flashes, and the sword is full of energy.

The white-masked man didn't seem to bother to leave the horse, and he didn't see him dodge, his right hand suddenly stretched out from his sleeve, and he grabbed Tang Xiaotian's sword blade made of refined steel with his empty hand, Tang Xiaotian only saw the red light flashing in front of him, and the long sword had been grasped by him, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding", the long sword was broken into two pieces by him, and he grabbed half of the sword blade with a wave of his hand, and cut Deng Tianyuan's sword into two.

Deng Tianyuan was shocked, and forcibly restrained the figure that flew out.

But it was too late, and the half-cut blade in the white masked man's hand had already plunged into Deng Tianyuan's throat.

Deng Tianyuan had turned into a corpse in mid-air, and the corpse fell in front of the horse, and he didn't even look at it.

"How, let you leave the dart cart, I don't want to kill you, do you think it's a joke?" The white-masked man's voice was cold without a trace of emotion.

Tang Xiaotian never thought that this would be the way people in this world would feel when they spoke.

When the white-masked man spoke, it was not indifferent, nor cold, it was a kind of proud and cruel coldness, and the voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, and it seemed to come from the Nine Heavens Fairyland, in short, there was no trace of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Tang Xiaotian didn't need to look back to know that all the dart masters he brought out were dead, because he had seen those black-clothed men carry away the darts they were carrying, and slowly passed by his side.

Tang Xiaotian didn't move.

All this happened so fast that Tang Xiaotian didn't even have time to change his thoughts, he could only watch as the man in black took the dart away.

The twelve jumped on horseback, one of them sticking a lantern into the saddle of the white-masked man, and he himself pulled a string of lanterns from the carriage of the Evergreen Dart Board.

The white-masked man waved his hand, and the twelve people held the lantern in their left hand and whipped their horses with their right hand, and they disappeared in an instant.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Tang Xiaotian looked at the man in black who was in the lead, there was no fear in his eyes, because he knew in his heart that if this person wanted to kill him, it would be easy for him.

There was no fear in his eyes, but in his heart, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of the person in front of him.

Even though he knew that he would not kill himself again at this moment, he was still full of fear of this person in his heart.

Perhaps, in his heart, the person in front of him at this moment is not a person.

For he is not at all like a man, like a god, like a devil, just not like a man.

"Because you are no different from the dead now, keeping your life is just a warning to the world, I want everyone to understand a truth, there is absolutely nothing that the Thirteen Taibao can't get." The eyes of the white-masked man showed a sharp sneer.
