The westward end of the Wuqi Mountains gradually descends into a patch of hills when it reaches the border of Qingzhou, from here to the south is Yangzhou, and beyond here to continue westward, it will break away from Qingzhou and enter Jizhou

Although there has long been an official road here, in the 75th year of the Great Qian's battle with Xidi, in order to delay the time for Qingzhou reinforcements to enter Jizhou, 32 shamans joined forces to cast spells, and heavy rain fell here for five days and five nights, and the soil texture and landform were also changed together, creating a large area of impassable swamp between these hills. Although more than ten years have passed and some places have slowly dried up, the official road has long been abandoned. Moreover, the opening of the Grand Canal ten years ago also made the transportation between Qingzhou and Jizhou very convenient, and few people have taken this old road again.

Xiao Xia hasn't been gone for a long time. I still remember the last time I walked was about six years ago, and when I heard the master say that this place was the closest, I wanted to take a shortcut and go directly to Jizhou alone, but I was almost swallowed by a giant python in this swamp. At that time, after he escaped, he vowed never to take such an inexplicable shortcut again, and he never imagined that there would be a day when he would take this road again.

There is no other reason, this place is indeed the closest, and it will only take two or three days at most to pass through here, and then it will be in Jizhou.

It's been five days since I left the Darkwood Forest. Running from Luoshui City at the eastern end of Qingzhou to the western end in five days, plus being able to leave Qingzhou in two days, Xiao Xia felt that his feet were fast enough. At least the news from Luoshui City is definitely not as fast as him. However, he still felt that it was not fast enough, although he had been very careful to erase the footprints in the woods and the traces he left behind, but the longer he mingled in the rivers and lakes, the more he realized that only the more careful and cautious he was, the longer he could live.

"Daoist Xia, why are you still in a hurry? I'm bored. And I want to take a shower, what you paint on my face stinks, and what you wear on my head is heavy. ”

The girl in white has complained for the twelfth time today. No, it's not a girl in white now, it should be a girl named Mingyue. She is no longer wearing the white clothes, but a set of common military uniforms for the women of the rivers and lakes, and she is one size larger, looking a little bloated and fat, and she also has a golden hairpin and a very bright red flower on her head, and she has two lumps of rouge on her face.

"Miss Mingyue, those things cost me ten taels of silver, enough to buy ten bags of the kind of apples you like to eat," Xiao Xia sighed. Of course, he arranged these things for Miss Mingyue, but of course he didn't want to dress her up more beautifully. Her current outfit and some potions that have yellowed her complexion are completely similar to the two of them before, even if Li Daxia, who almost stared out of his eyes when he looked at her, if he was still alive now, he might not have any extra thoughts when he saw her again.

"And I think the horses are tired of running. The girl Mingyue poked her head out, looked at the horse riding under her, and patted the horse's head with her hand. "Horses, horses, I'm so sorry to make you run so tired. Don't blame Daoist Xia, he's afraid of being chased and killed by the bad guys."

As she spoke, Miss Mingyue seemed to suddenly think of a good idea, her eyes lit up, and her hands clapped: "By the way, I can carry you, I won't run slower than a horse." No one sees it here, so don't be embarrassed. The horses don't have to be so tired. ”

Natsu rolled her eyes. Until now, I don't know if it's right or wrong to run away with this bright moon girl, but at least one thing, it's really not too boring along the way.

Speaking of which, the road under this foot is indeed becoming more and more difficult to walk, the official road is almost invisible among the clumps of low trees and shrubs, and there are more and more hills ahead, and it is only a matter of time before the horse is abandoned. Xiao Xia was a little hesitant, so it seems that Mingyue's construction is also a good way, although it does seem a little inappropriate for a big man to be carried on the back of a young girl, but this is really not seen by anyone. In addition, this Mingyue girl doesn't seem to be a complete girl, isn't there also a Taoist master who uses it as a mount after recovering the demons? But how do you say this, what Mingyue girl said is reasonable, this horse is also fortunate along the way, I can't bear to ride it anymore, so I'll ride you

Just as he was thinking about how to open his mouth about this, Xiao Xia suddenly felt a shock, and the horse under him threw him out with a long neigh.

How could you chase so fast?

From the sound of the horse barking and the way the horse fell, Xiao Xia already knew what was going on in mid-air, his heart tightened, his hand was wiped on his waist, and a Qingfeng talisman was already in his hand, and with the talisman burning to ashes, a whirlwind surrounded him, and when he stumbled to the ground and rolled and stood up again, the Rainbow Shadow Sword in his right hand had been pulled out, and his left hand was a medium-grade spirit talisman, just waiting for the hidden weapon flying in the sky or the masters of the rivers and lakes who rushed up.

Sure enough, a dozen or so people rushed out from behind the bushes not far away, these people shouted and screamed, in addition to knives, guns and clubs in their hands, they actually held a few crossbows, and ran to the front of those holding weapons to face forward, and those holding bows and crossbows were behind, and they were actually quite orderly.

Xiao Xia was stunned. He recognized the men as military crossbows.

There are often wars between Yongji and Xidi, and there are many dragons and snakes in the Yongzhou Liuzi battalion, so it is not too rare for some of these military equipment to be lost. Of course, the military equipment is indeed much sharper than the things of ordinary Jianghu guests, but Xiao Xia was relieved after seeing it, because those who are willing to use these will definitely not be masters. If it's not a master, it definitely won't be the Luoshui Gang who came over.

"A horse thief?" seems to be the only explanation. Although Xiao Xia didn't understand why there were horse thieves who set up an ambush in this place where birds don't lay eggs.

"It's two children~!Be careful, it seems that you still have some skills, this kid seems to have some spells, and he will kill him~!Don't let them get away~!"

Sure enough, it's a horse thief, or a group of experienced horse thieves. The leader waved his hand and commanded his subordinates to set up a formation, and the one behind aimed at it with a bow and crossbow but did not fire, but only deterred, and the one in front directly held a weapon and rushed towards Xiao Xia violently.

Xiao Xia glanced back, she didn't fall, and the girl Mingyue must not have it. But the two horses had broken their legs, and were lying on the ground neighing, and the girl crouched beside them, as if she were fiddling with their injuries, and did not even look at them. And these horse thieves also obviously took Xiao Xia, who was holding a long sword and lit a talisman in the air, as the most tricky.

Fortunately, it's just a horse thief, and there is no need to waste this spirit talisman, a breeze talisman is only the capital of two silvers, and it is enough to deal with them. Xiao Xia withdrew the spirit talisman in his hand from his waist, and quickly met the horse thief who rushed to the front, and slashed out with all his strength with the sword in both hands.

A clear light passed by, and there was not even a trace of sound, and the thief's hands and half of his face flew out diagonally under the clear light together with the spear in his hand, and the horse thief also made a stabbing motion with his broken arm, and then he jumped on the spot like a cramp, and let out a strange howl with half his mouth open, and fell to the ground.

Sure enough, it is a good sword, and it is worthy of being a high-grade treasure worth five thousand taels of silver and two Qingqi people. Xiao Xia sighed secretly, but his hand did not stop, taking advantage of the opportunity of the stunned horse thieves behind him to rush into it, swinging his sword with both hands and slashing again, and suddenly the two horse thieves fell to the ground screaming miserably, and the weapons used to block in their hands were also cut off and fell.

There were a few sharp sounds of breaking the air, and the horse thief with the bow and crossbow behind him also reacted, and the crossbow in his hand shot at Xiao Xia. The accuracy of those horse thieves was good, the distance of more than ten or twenty zhang actually did not miss, and the crossbow arrows flew towards Xiao Xia's head, face, chest and abdomen, but as soon as they approached Xiao Xia's side, the whirlwind suddenly accelerated, blowing these crossbow arrows away, at most only two of them were inserted into the shoulders and cut through the clothes to bring out two blood marks.

The strength of the military crossbow Xiao Xia knew that the Qingfeng talisman was also drawn by himself, and of course he knew better what the effect was. Although the mana power is probably consumed after blowing away these few crossbow arrows, the few horse thieves behind will not know, and the other party doesn't care when they see that the crossbow arrows are ineffective, so naturally they won't bother to load the arrows. And Xiao Xia took this opportunity to rush into the group of horse thieves, relying on the sharpness of the rainbow shadow sword in his hand to slash indiscriminately, the blocker was invincible, whether it was the sword snatching grass or leather armor, and even the wooden shield wrapped in iron was broken, and the stumps and broken arms were screaming again and again, but the horse thieves were disrupted, and the horse thieves who were close to Xiao Xia were all retreating.

"The idea is piercing~!The weapon in your hand is powerful~!Brothers, don't panic~!Wait for me to call" The leader of the horse thieves shouted Don't panic, but he was a little panicked, and he took out a firework from his arms while retreating. But before he could use it with his free hand, a flame first came out of Xiao Xia's hand and exploded in his face.

and three taels of silver. Xiao Xia secretly screamed in her heart. He had been keeping an eye on the leader. These horse thieves are not badly equipped, they are by no means a rabble that have been improvised together, and the horse thieves rarely go out in a single group, and these dozen or so people must be on the periphery of a certain group of horse thieves who are sent out to guard, that is to say, there is a large group of horse thieves in the vicinity. As soon as he saw that the leader had taken out a firework, he immediately took out a flame explosion charm and threw it over, this is just a four-grade charm under the fire line, although it may not be fatal, it is no problem to blow up and fall to the ground.

Sure enough, the leader of the horse thieves who had been blown up in the face fell backwards without snorting, but some of the flames from the explosion also splashed on the fireworks in his hand. With a loud bang, a large ball of fireworks exploded around the two horse thieves, igniting all their clothes and hair, and the two horse thieves immediately rolled on the ground screaming, and just extinguished the flames, Xiao Xia, who caught up, kicked them in the head and neck and kicked them unconscious.

The remaining horse thieves finally lost the slightest fighting spirit, turned around and ran towards the distant hills. Xiao Xia didn't chase after him, he stood and gasped for breath, and he also spent a lot of energy.

With the long sword in his hand, Xiao Xia was inevitably a little high-spirited. Although his kung fu skills are indeed worse than those masters, he was not mixed in the two years of the Liuzi Battalion, and the experience of arguing about the battle array and killing is far inferior to the masters of the rivers and lakes who are used to fighting in general or fighting alone. His skills were not much higher than those of these horse thieves, but with this experience, he could kill more than a dozen horse thieves in one fell swoop with the rainbow shadow sword in his hand.

It's a pity that no matter how sharp this Rainbow Shadow Sword is, it's just a sword, and it can't be used like this next time there is such a situation. Xiao Xia looked at the few undetectable scars on the blade of the sword, and secretly felt heartache. The light and agile one-handed long sword was slashed by him like a thick-backed machete on the battle array, and if it weren't for the fact that this sword was indeed extraordinary, it would have been broken a long time ago. The original owner of this sword, whether it was the old protector Zeng or the state pastor, if he witnessed him use this sword like this, I am afraid that without saying a word, he would be slapped into meat sauce.

turned around and walked back to the two horses, Mingyue had already connected the broken legs of the two horses, and she didn't know what magic power she used, the two horses could actually stand up slowly, and they were slowly rubbing against her with their heads and necks. Seeing Xiao Xia come back, she was not surprised at all, but said, "Have you avenged the horse? The horse can't run anymore now, I'll carry you in the future." ”

"I'll talk about that later. Natsu frowned and looked in the direction the horse thief had fled. The sound of the fireworks must have been heard. It's not a good idea to turn around and take a detour now, and it's safest to go to Jizhou as much as possible.
