Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 48: Attacked
On the spacious road, there was a rush of horses' hooves, it was Duan Ming, Xu Ruoyun and others.
Looking at the sky, Xu Ruoyun said to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, the sun is about to set, let's find a place to rest first." ”
"Hmm." Duan Ming nodded, although he had been in a coma for several hours, he still felt a little confused at the moment.
If it weren't for the desire to leave the temple as soon as possible, he wouldn't have been so eager to set off at this time.
"I remember there should be a post ten miles ahead." Xu Ruoyun and the five Spiegel Department officials glanced at each other, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
They hadn't closed their eyes for two days and two nights, and they were already exhausted after running to fight the fire last night.
It's best to take a break now.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound from the bushes, and several sharp arrows broke through the air and shot towards Duan Ming and the others.
"Enemy attack!" Xu Ruoyun's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted.
Immediately, several Spiegel officials quickly protected Duan Ming in the middle, and then swung their knives to block the attack of the arrows.
These officials are all the best in the Spiegel Division, and they are carefully selected by the criminal Qianqiu.
So, despite the power of the arrows, they still didn't hurt them in the slightest, not even the horses beneath them.
"There's an ambush, get out of here quickly!" Xu Ruoyun said in a deep voice, and then several people protected Duan Ming in the middle, and quickly ran forward, as long as they arrived at the post station, it would be safe.
No matter what the identity of this group of thieves is, they may not dare to attack the official post station.
Besides, even if they dared to attack, the post station didn't have to be outside, there were houses blocking it, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It would be even better if there were officers and soldiers in the post station who were going to work elsewhere, and perhaps they could capture all of the thieves.
However, at this moment, several tripping ropes suddenly pulled up in the grass, and Xu Ruoyun and the others were caught off guard, and the horse's hooves hooked directly on the tripping rope, and the whole person suddenly fell out of the horse.
"Damn it!" Turning over and jumping up, Xu Ruoyun and several officers and soldiers of the Spiegel Division helped Duan Ming up, and saw black shadows rushing out of the grass.
There were dozens of these black shadows, they were dressed in black and holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, surrounding Duan Ming and the others.
"Who are you?" Xu Ruoyun shouted: "We are the officials of the Spiegel Division, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?" Dare to attack Der Spiegel? ”
However, hearing Xu Ruoyun's scolding, these black-clothed men did not pause at all and continued to approach them.
"Damn!" Xu Ruoyun gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said to Duan Ming in a deep voice: "Mr. Duan, we will fight a way for you in a while, you go first, as long as you arrive at the post station, it should be safe!" ”
"No, what are you going to do?" When Duan Ming heard this, his brows furrowed.
Although Xu Ruoyun and the others are powerful, if they face so many enemies, I am afraid that they will be more than lucky.
"We're here to stop them! Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave! Xu Ruoyun said in a deep voice.
"But ......" Duan Ming's expression was extremely ugly, in addition to being afraid of death, what he didn't like the most was to see others die for themselves!
"Nothing more." Xu Ruoyun said: "Mr. Duan, I didn't protect you in the fire yesterday, and I almost killed you, this time, I will definitely be able to protect you!" ”
"You ......" Duan Ming looked at Xu Ruoyun's serious face and gritted his teeth: "You wait, I'll go to the post station to find someone to save you, you must hold on!" ”
"Well, we believe you!" Xu Ruoyun said in a deep voice, then suddenly turned around and rushed to the man in black behind him: "Kill!" ”
The man in black didn't expect that Xu Ruoyun and the other five Spiegel officials would be so fierce and fearless of death, and they still wanted to resist under such circumstances, and they were stunned for a moment.
And it was this stunned kung fu that several black-clothed people behind him had been killed by Xu Ruoyun and others, revealing a way.
"Run!" Xu Ruoyun pushed Duan Ming, then held the knife in both hands and turned his head at the many black-clothed people.
It's not that Xu Ruoyun and the others don't want to run away at the moment, but their horses are lying on the ground at the moment, if they run away with Duan Ming, these black-clothed people will inevitably chase after them.
At that point, none of them will have any way out.
Therefore, Xu Ruoyun and the others stayed, not only to stop the men in black, but also to kill those horses!
Duan Ming didn't look back, he ran forward desperately, he knew that Xu Ruoyun and the others must be fighting bloody battles at this moment, only by rushing to the post station as soon as possible and bringing in to rescue them could they save them.
Ten miles, that is, a thousand meters, is not far away, and soon Duan Ming has already arrived at the post station.
"Knock knock!" Duan Ming knocked on the gate of the post station with all his might, and the post man quickly walked over and opened the door, looking at Duan Ming suspiciously.
"I'm Spiegel." Duan Ming didn't talk nonsense with the post guard, and directly took out the Spiegel Commander card on his waist, which was handed to him by Xu Ruoyun just now: "Ten miles away, the Spiegel Division was attacked, are there soldiers in the post station?" ”
"Who are you?" At this moment, a big man with a black beard walked out, looked at Duan Ming and said in a deep voice, "Spiegel Si Keqing? How come I haven't heard of such a position within Der Spiegel? ”
"You're a general?" Duan Ming's gaze quickly glanced at the big man: "I know you have doubts about me, but saving people is like fighting fires, and I ask the general to follow me to save people!" ”
The black-bearded man looked at Duan Ming's expression seriously, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, General Ben believes you once!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the black-bearded man walked briskly back to the post station, and with a loud shout, a noisy sound came from the post station.
After a while, the black-bearded man was already wearing armor and holding a Xuanhua axe, and walked out quickly.
Behind the black-bearded man, there were more than a dozen soldiers who were also wearing armor, as well as more than a dozen war horses.
"You lead the way!" The black-bearded man said to Duan Ming, and then waved his hand: "Give him a horse!" ”
"Thank you, General!" Duan Ming clasped his hands into fists, turned over and jumped on the horse, and hurried towards the direction of Xu Ruoyun and the others.
"Let's go, kill the thief!" The black-bearded man laughed, and the horse followed closely behind Duan Ming.
Soon, Duan Ming and the others returned to the place where they had just been attacked, but at this moment, there was no one here.
"This ...... Xu Ruoyun! Xu Ruoyun! Duan Ming shouted anxiously on the horse's back, his eyes constantly looking around, but he didn't find any trace of Xu Ruoyun.
"Hey, you kid, where are the Spiegels and thieves you said?" The black-bearded man aimed the big axe at Duan Ming and said in a deep voice.
"They should be right here." Duan Ming said in a deep voice, with a faint premonition in his heart.
Looking at Duan Ming's expression, the black-bearded man waved his hand: "Search!" ”
"Yes!" The many sergeants around immediately scattered and searched......
