The little second brother counted the monks angrily, and even moved his hands and began to push the monk to go away, the monk put his hands together in front of his chest, shook his head helplessly, and let the little second brother push himself, but he still stood in place and did not retreat half an inch. When Xiao Er and the monk were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard someone talking in the shop.

Suqiao Weijie: "Slow, please let this master into the store and get together"

When the little second brother heard this voice, he looked back and was startled, this old man is the head of the team staying in the store today, a group of more than 100 people, this is the distinguished customer in the store, even the shopkeeper saw it respectfully, for fear of offending the distinguished customer, and there will be no more than making money in the future. The little second brother immediately conjured up a smiling face, nodded and bowed to Suqiao Weijie, and then treated the monk into the store like his own father, and added ginger water very respectfully, and took a fruit bowl and sent it over.

In this way, Su Qiao Weijie and his eldest son, as well as the monks sat at a table, Su Jiao Chengwang knew that his father had always saluted the Buddha, and his mother had never left his hand in a Diamond Sutra, so he was very polite to add ginger water to the monks and set the fruit plate. And Suqiao Weijie and the monk looked at each other, Suqiao Weijie put a three-inch short beard in his hand, looking at the monk's face, and the monk looked at Suqiao Weijie with a smile, the two did not speak, at this time almost all the guests on the first floor had gone upstairs to rest, and the little two who guarded the door continued to find a place to nap. On the entire first floor of the inn, only the father and son of the Suqiao family and the monk who did not know their origin remained.

Su Qiao Weijie: "This master, where did you come from?" ”

The old man of the Suqiao family first opened his mouth to inquire.

Monk: "The poor monk set out from the Thousand Buddha Temple half a year ago, and only came to the gate at dawn this morning. ”

Suqiao Weijie: "The Thousand Buddha Temple in the Western Capital?" ”

Monk: "Exactly"

Su Qiao Weijie: "That's really far enough, master, you shouldn't have come all the way, right?" ”

Monk: "Although the poor monk can be carried by the chariot, boat, boat and horse, the poor monk does not want to be embarrassed by him, so he has to rely on his own feet all the way. ”

Su Qiao Weijie: "Master, why did you go so far?" ”

Monk: "Chance in the Buddha"

Suqiao Weijie: "Hahaha, I see, don't hide it from the master, my family is also going to the Western Capital, I can meet you here, this is also our fate, so let's stay here tonight, I will call someone to help you arrange"

Saying that, Su Qiao stood up and glanced at his son, Su Jiao Chengwang hurriedly ran to the counter, woke up the lazy shopkeeper, and arranged a room for the monk to live in. The old man couldn't stay up late, Suqiao Weijie already felt a little tired, so after saying goodbye to the monk again, he was about to go upstairs to rest, but when he turned around to leave, he was stopped by the monk again.

Monk: "Donor, please stay!" ”

Su Qiao Weijie: "Master, what else do you command?" Please let me know as well and I'll arrange it. ”

Monk: "At six o'clock tomorrow morning, you will come to the viewing platform behind this shop alone, and the poor monk will have something important to tell you!" ”

Suqiao Weijie took a deep breath, looked at the monk in front of him, nodded heavily, and signaled that he understood.

The time soon came to the middle of the night, and the crescent moon in the sky could only be called a crescent moon, cloudy and lacking light, like a mirror in this world, and the inn in front of the gate was pitch black all around, not to mention the rarely populated outside the gate. At this time, Tianyao Pass looked at it from a distance, and its outline could be seen in a trance, but it was so unreal, it only felt like the mouth of a vicious beast, and it wanted to eat the person who passed through into its belly. A gust of evil wind came from outside the pass, and when passing through the pass, there may be strange rocks, and you can hear the terrible wail, plus the three watches in the middle of the night, it really makes people feel cold down their spines.

The oasis of Yong'an, is the place where the east and the west are connected, known for the harsh natural environment, the east and west are about 1,200 kilometers long, and the way is mostly rugged mountain roads, quagmire swamps, hundreds of thousands of people have stepped out of two roads here, one is in the north of the oasis, known as the "towering realm" and the other is in the south of the oasis, called "the secluded realm", the two roads go through, it can be said that the ancestors exchanged "life" for it. Before that, the travel between the eastern capital and the western capital was to detour through the north and south, which was a long journey of two years at the end, although some people tried to cross the oasis of Yong'an, but the result was very cruel, not only took more than half a year, but even the life of the expedition team was put in it, and no one knows what kind of ordeal they went through. Today, with the towering realm and the secluded realm, the exchange between the east and the west has become much simpler, the general convoy can reach the other side in three or four months at most, and if it is a fast horse convoy, it must reach the other side within three months, and can basically avoid most of the harsh climate and unknowable dangers.

Outside the inn in front of the gate, the street lights are still on, but the passengers and the store who live in the store have slept peacefully, and there is silence in front of the gate, only when the night wind blows, there will be a sound coming out, this night wind is really fearless, not only blowing the store flag on the flagpole in front of the inn, but also blowing away the faint bloody air outside the gate, the night wind blows through a clearing in the secluded territory, the sand and soil drift up with the wind, and the newly buried corpse under the sand has long been eaten by the nearby beasts, leaving only a white skeleton and nearby stones mixed with the ground on the ground……

Nothing was said all night.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Suqiao came to the observation deck on the first floor a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time, waiting for the monk, but he didn't want the monk to wait for him here

Suqiao Weijie: "Master, I don't want you to come so early, I've been bothering you to wait for a long time"

Monk: "Next, what I want to say to you, you have to keep it in your heart, and you should not talk about it to anyone, not even your family."

changed the way he smiled yesterday, and now he has a serious face.

Su Qiao Weijie: "I understand, if the master has something to say, you might as well say it clearly, I just don't tell others." ”

A sincere expression.

Monk: "After 9 o'clock this morning, you can only hurry, and you must not advance, and at the same time, you must go through the secluded realm, and there must be no deviation between the time and the route, otherwise your whole family will not escape this ......fate."

When Suqiao Weijie heard this, he was shocked in his heart, thinking to himself what the origin of this monk was, how did he know that we were going to go to the heavenly realm, and how could he know that we were going to leave at seven o'clock in the morning......

Monk: "Don't panic, but do you remember what the poor monk said yesterday about the fate of the Buddha?" That's you! , The purpose of the poor monk is to save you, although the life and death in this world have their own destiny, it is not good to interfere, but the Buddha's words are in the ear, good thoughts in the heart, the poor monk has to travel a long way to find you, fortunately it is to catch up, Amitabha. ”

Su Qiao Weijie: "Thank you for the master's order, if I and my family can avoid this catastrophe, the old man will definitely go to the Thousand Buddha Temple in person to offer his heart, but I don't know what your Dharma name is, master?" Can you tell the old man? ”

Monk: "Amitabha, poor monk Dharma name Benyuan"

Although Suqiao Weijie met the monk for the first time, it may be because Su Rili often went to the nearby temple to eat fast, so he has a natural trust in the monk, and it is this trust that gives rise to this opportunity.

Before the meal, Suqiao Weijie and the monk were still talking about something, because the distance was too far to go into details. When the monk left the inn, Suqiao Weijie still insisted on sending him to the dirt road in front of the store, and the monk still had to hurry forward, but he only accepted dry food and water bags, and did not receive valuable gifts such as money. The monk strode forward in the morning light, Suqiao Weijie was in front of the shop and watched the back of the monk who was about to disappear in the distance, while the wife and daughter in the shop listened to the eldest son talk about some small details of the encounter between the old man and the monk last night. What puzzles everyone is that this monk should have met the old man for the first time, why does the old man care so much about the monk like an old friend? Until Suqiao Weijie returned to the store, he told everyone to change the itinerary, give up walking to the towering realm, and change to the secluded realm, and even the lord who has always liked to leave early, today also specially instructed not to rush away, first instructed the entourage to check and prepare sufficient supplies, and then ordered someone to make tea, while tasting tea, while enjoying the scenery, while waiting for the arrival of nine o'clock in the morning, the family was even more confused, I don't know what the master is going to do.

At 9:30 a.m., a light horse rushed from the direction of Tianyao Pass on the dirt road in the secluded realm, and there were more than 20 horsemen blocking the road at the other end of the road.

The light cavalry said: "Report to the deputy envoy, the target convoy is heading towards us, and it will not take half an hour to enter the ambush circle, according to the investigation, the convoy has a total of 123 people, including 43 female dependents, and 38 convoy guards."

The two leaders nodded slightly, indicating that they understood. The messenger rode back to the team immediately.

Hua Nianze: "It seems that we are lucky this time, according to the intelligence, this group of traitors was originally going to flee to the Western Capital through the towering realm, but there is a team of hundreds of people over there......"

Hua Nianchi: "Fortunately, the chief secretary had the foresight and ordered us to bring a team of people to guard here, otherwise, if we really let this group of thieves escape, wouldn't we be ashamed of our trust in Your Majesty and the queen...... Later, when they step into the ambush circle, first go to four people to lure some of the guards out, let's also divide and attack, I and Deputy Envoy Ze each take ten people to act separately, and the others will wait and see, if you find that someone wants to take the opportunity to escape, you will go to mend the knife to solve it, and then there will be! After the escort is solved, don't rush to do anything to the convoy first, let's take a look at the quality of the female dependents, girls under the age of six need to be captured alive...... Did you hear me clearly? ”

Servants: "Clear. ”

Hearing the order given by the deputy envoy of the Clean Clothes Division, all the divisions replied in unison.

The group stood on a high slope and looked down at the wide dirt path a hundred meters away.

Not far away, Suqiao Weijie and his party were hurrying on the secluded road, completely unaware of the dangers ahead. Suqiao believed the monk's words for Jie, thinking that taking this road would keep his family safe and return to the Western Capital safely.

The spring sun, even in the middle of the day, does not make people feel hot, but feels very warm, the convoy slowly drove on the dirt road in the secluded realm, facing the unfamiliar but not extreme scenery, everyone still felt very comfortable at the moment.

But when the convoy drove to the "back to the horse slope", I saw four figures suddenly flash in front of them, but soon disappeared again, the convoy guards noticed that several people had weapons around their waists, knowing that the comers were not good, the captain of the guard immediately beckoned the convoy to stop advancing, and ordered ten guards to dismount and guard near the two caravans, and the other twenty guards were divided into two teams, riding foot horses to patrol around the convoy in the opposite direction, while four guards responded, and he led three guards on foot to explore the way.

Here it is necessary to explain why the guards should dismount and fight, because the mounts of the guards are not war horses, but ordinary foot horses, which do not have any combat power blessing for mounted combat, and can only provide mobility, and in turn for the guards who do not know cavalry equestrian skills, it will reduce their combat effectiveness, so it is more suitable for them to fight on foot after giving up the ride.

The captain of the guard and the three guards walked forward two hundred paces, but when they saw a high slope on the left, which must have a wider view, the captain of the guard climbed up the high slope with the guards, intending to see the situation everywhere from the high slope.

Soon a few people climbed up the high slope, here is more than three zhang high, the slope can accommodate three or five people sparsely standing, the chief of the guard stands on the high slope to check the surrounding environment, at this time I heard the "whoosh" sound in the woods under the slope, just in the kung fu of everyone stunned, more than ten folding darts were thrown from the forest, the three guards did not know how to deal with it for a while, and they fell down with the winning bid on their backs.

【Source World Weapon Spectrum】

1. Fold darts (quality ordinary): "factory" type of hidden weapon, attack power and damage are very general, there are no requirements for the user, the hit rate is not high, the use of the method is to throw at will, whether to hit the enemy, all by luck, children can use a hidden weapon.

The guard chief's kung fu and reaction speed were stronger than theirs, and when he heard the sound, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't care about anything else in a hurry, so he jumped forward with both knees and jumped directly down the dirt slope, avoiding the sneak attack of the folding darts.

When the attackers came to the slope, they saw that three of them had fallen to the ground, and the shoulders, arms, and backs of the three guards had been injured, and the blood had stained a small piece of land.

At this moment, the chief of the guard who jumped down the high slope suddenly sprang up, and several attackers were caught off guard for a moment, and were caught off guard by the chief of the guard, only to see the chief of the guard rush over, slammed into one of the attackers with his shoulder, knocking him directly out of the dirt slope seven feet away.

The other attacker was so nervous that he forgot to draw his knife and rushed directly at the chief of the guard, who was met with a punch, and the chief of the guard dodged to the side, and at the same time hit him under the ribs with a knife of his hand, and the person in pain immediately rolled on the ground and accidentally fell down the dirt slope.

The last attacker had drawn his saber from his waist at this moment, and at this moment he found that the three guards who had just fallen to the ground actually stood up at this time, although the dart just now injured them, but it was only a skin injury, and the momentary pain made them lose their mobility, but they quickly adapted to the situation, and the attacker saw that he was now a pair of four, and had no chance of winning, so he instinctively took a few steps back, and then he didn't care about throwing down his weapon with dignity, so he rolled directly down the dirt slope.

Seeing this, the chief of the guard immediately beckoned a few people to jump off the dirt slope from the other side and run towards the convoy, but found that the four guards who were used to answer had been killed by the attacker's knife at this time, and there were three or five people standing next to their bodies at this time, and the leader looked at this side with great disdain, and there were also cries for help in the convoy not far away, as well as the metal sound caused by the collision of weapons.

If he was still in the convoy at this time, he should still be able to fight with the enemy with the advantage of numbers, but once he left the convoy, the guards would be like a plate of scattered sand in the face of the enemy's attack, and there was no rule at all, so I was afraid that it would not last long......

The captain of the guard gave a look to the three guards around him, and several of them immediately understood that they must find a way to help the guardians return to the team, otherwise they may be completely wiped out.

In this way, the chief of the guard did not show mercy to his subordinates, directly drew the ordinary iron knife at his waist, and led the three guards to rush towards the enemy who was blocking the way.

Hua Nianze didn't panic when he saw this, he waved his hand casually, and the four servants next to him rushed up, while Hua Nianze himself took the opportunity to check the strength of the guard captain on the side, and then make plans.

The chief of the guard deserves to be the chief of the guard, and under the influence of his 'brave inspire', the combat effectiveness of the three guards has also been blessed to a certain extent, and they have the upper hand at the beginning of the battle, pressing the four subordinates to fight.

The guard chief's kung fu is average, but his strength is very great, only one face, with the two attacks of the iron knife in his hand, the short knife in the hand of a division is knocked away, this division from the weapon out of his hand, hurriedly fled from the battle, but he didn't want him to escape, directly to his teammates Si Congzhao became a lot of psychological pressure.

The battle was soon over, and all three servants were wounded and left the battle.

The chief of the guard was also not in love with the battle, and hurriedly approached the convoy with three guards, but Hua Nianze sensed the intention of the chief of the guard, and hurriedly beckoned the scattered servants to return to the team, as well as the three servants who fought on the dirt slope before, and the three servants who were hiding behind a tree not far away, a total of ten servants.

In this way, a deputy envoy of the Cleaning Clothes Division with ten servants once again blocked the way of the chief of the guard.

Seeing this, the chief of the guard had to take out a desperate posture, and a murderous aura rose on his body, and this murderous aura was unusual, Hua Nianze had a high martial arts cultivation, and immediately realized that the chief of the guard was about the eighth stage of the battle guard.

Hua Nianze: "It turned out to be garbage...... As long as you don't return to the team, you're almost like waste......"

A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he led a group of subordinates to rush forward.

The chief of the guard noticed that Hua Nianze's combat power should be the strongest among the enemy, so he directly charged at it, although it was a foot charge, but the power was still there, Hua Nianze had no experience in fighting with the guards, and he didn't know what kind of routine this thing was, so he saw the captain of the guard suddenly rushed towards him, the momentum was extraordinary, and the sense of oppression was also full, and he took out his knife and slashed at it, obviously hitting the target, but it was like cutting on a stone, and he only felt some pain in his wrist, And the guard chief's shoulder also hit his chest at this moment, and Hua Nianze felt dizzy in just a moment, and when he came to his senses, he had already been knocked out eight or nine feet away.

The next battle once again refreshed Hua Nianze's three views, the chief of the guard rarely dodged attacks in the battle with himself, and in the face of his own slashing, he actually carried it down directly with his body, and at the same time, the iron knife in the hand of the chief of the guard was fiercely slashed at himself, this desperate way of fighting made Hua Nianze very frightened.

Hua Nianze: "Damn, what kind of play style do you have, you will play with your life as soon as you come up!" My life is precious, your life is cheap, you really deserve to die. ”

While scolding, he relied on his body to dodge the attack of the chief of the guard, and gradually he had no chance to attack, so he could only blindly dodge, but fortunately, the sword technique of the chief of the guard was average, and his body was much worse than his own, so the attack of the chief of the guard, most of them were ineffective attacks, and they were dodged by themselves one by one.

Not far away, ten servants surrounded three guards, although they also cut down the guards with the advantage of numbers, but it was difficult to cause kills, and the siege was not won for a long time.

At this time, the two divisions noticed that the deputy envoy was passive, so they hurriedly left the besieging crowd and secretly approached the chief of the guard.

At this time, the chief of the guard and Hua Nianze fought to the fullest, and did not notice that other enemies were approaching him for a while, and suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and right arm, and hurriedly turned around to check the situation, but saw that the short knives of the two servants behind him had been stained with blood, and then he realized that he had been attacked by the two of them, at this time, the shoulder and neck junction had been cut, the blood had stained his clothes red, and the right arm was also bleeding from the knife wound, the chief of the guard was not afraid of pain, and swung his knife to a sneak attack of the servant, this division raised a knife to resist, However, there was a big difference in strength between the two sides, instead of parrying the attack of the chief guard, he was shot down by the chief of the guard, and at the same time, the iron knife also directly slashed his shoulder, and the iron knife was directly cut through the flesh and cut off the shoulder bone under the blessing of the chief of the guard.

Seeing this, the Si Cong next to him was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he only felt a hot flush in his pants, and he was directly incontinent......

Hua Nianze found the opportunity to stab at the chief of the guard, and the sharp blade stabbed into the back of the chief of the guard at once, and the head of the knife was more than two inches into the body of the chief of the guard, and it was difficult to go deeper.

Hua Nianze: "If you are cheap, you should die!" Hahaha"

For his own attack, he was very confident, and he thought that his sword could kill the captain of the guard, and laughed out loud.

But he didn't want to slap his face so quickly, the chief of the guard ignored the pain, a divine dragon swung his tail, and the next second a big foot was kicking on Hua Nianze's lower abdomen, and this kick alone kicked Hua Nianze out five or six feet away, and fell heavily to the ground.

The chief of the guard was really a man, and he endured severe pain and pulled out the knife inserted into his waist and threw it aside.

Seeing that his three guards had fallen into a disadvantage at this time, the chief of the guards ignored the severe pain of the wound and rushed towards the enemy's encirclement again.

In this way, the chief of the guard finally returned to the convoy with the three wounded guards......

But when they came back at this time, it was already difficult to recover the overall situation, and the guards in the convoy were wounded, and most of them were seriously injured, and they had lost their combat effectiveness, and seven or eight guards had been killed in battle, and the number of guards who could still fight now was less than seven or eight.

Suqiao Weijie and his wife and children watched the guards all injured and lost their combat power, knowing in their hearts that today was a catastrophe, and it seemed that the monks he met yesterday would not be able to help him survive this catastrophe, but he didn't blame him, maybe it really fulfilled the old saying, everyone has their own destiny and wealth in heaven......

It's just that when he saw the fear on his wife and daughter's face, as a man, he still gritted his teeth and protected his wife and daughter behind him, and the three sons had never seen this battle, a group of people with sharp weapons and unknown origin suddenly rushed to the front of them, and began to attack the escort without saying a word, and even had doubts about the authenticity of this situation in their minds...... Is this still the country of Cangluo?

Hua Nianchi: "Old man Suqiao, are you guilty?" ”

The deputy envoy of the Clean Clothes Division, headed by him, suddenly stood up and asked.

Su Qiao Weijie: "Huh? The old man has been an honest official all his life, what is his crime? ”

Staring at your enemies with wide eyes.

Hua Nianchi: "You still dare to ask me what my sin is?" Okay, well, since you are dying, I will let you die to understand, you are a dying person, you do not wait for the retirement of the year (referring to the retirement from the post, no longer work in the future) to return to the hometown to retire, but still rely on the old to sell the old and discuss the state affairs, and my family's face head (the highest official position of the Pure Clothes Division and the Pure Soul Division) as an enemy, do you say you are guilty? Isn't it damned? ”

Said viciously.

Suqiao Weijie: "Hahaha, it turns out that you are the people of the Pure Clothes Division, a good one is guilty, a good one deserves to die, if the old man is really guilty, he should be dealt with according to the law, as a court official, you actually ignore the court law, and determine the life and death of the old man with personal likes and dislikes, the old man really did not misunderstand you, you are really the scourge of my Cangluo country, I think my Cangluo country has a thousand-year foundation, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in the hands of you people, I only hate the old man for being weak, I can't help you, today it falls into your hands, I know that it is difficult to survive, The dead old man is nothing, but I just sigh that my Cangluo country is about to enter the land of eternal calamity."

Tears rolled in the eyes......
