Unconsciously, the red sun gradually sank in the west, and the sunset scattered, dyeing the earthy yellow avenue with a faint red halo.

The groom dozed off, and the horses seemed tired from a day's walk, wheezing and gasping for breath, snorting from time to time.

Xiao Feng sat next to the coachman, bored and leaning on the goods of the carriage.

It was the third day on the road, and it was business as usual, and I heard that there would be four more wagons carrying goods, which would catch up soon after.

From the mouths of the four officers and soldiers, they learned that the things escorted were to be sent to Tianmen Pass, and they would pass through a place called Autumn Wind Valley on the way.

The night was unpredictably shrouded, and the officers and men lit a fire, and three or five people gathered around to gossip.

Xiao Feng sat alone by the fire, skewering meat with branches, and roasting it boringly.

The meat was cooked, and he was looking for something to do before spending the long night.

"I don't know how Madame is at home......"

The breeze was blowing, the blades of grass were rustling, the smell of meat was spreading far away, and from time to time the sound of the surrounding officers and soldiers swallowing saliva could be heard.

Since he knew that he couldn't get words out of their mouths, Xiao Feng didn't waste time on them.

The old man of the coachman came uninvited again and sat opposite Xiao Feng, smiling all over his face.

He was about sixty years old, with a scruffy beard and a small blue hat on his head, and he usually didn't leave the car.

Every time Xiao Feng had dinner, he would come over on time to eat.

Knowing that the words didn't make sense, Xiao Feng smiled, handed over the meat in his hand, and the two of them ate their own food, without saying a word to each other.

"There are quite a few soldiers stationed near the Valley of the Autumn Wind, and they often rob caravans, especially those of us, who are most interested." The coachman said lightly.

"Damn, uncle, you can talk well!" Xiao Feng was stunned, this was the first time he had heard the coachman speak normally in three days.

"I just don't want to deal with you." After eating the last piece of meat in his hand, the uncle stood up, patted the dust on his coat, and went straight back to the carriage.

Xiao Feng recorded the coachman's admonition in his heart, shrunk by the fire, and leaned against a big stone to close his eyes and recuperate.

"When is this day of eating and sleeping in the open?"

Xiao Feng sighed, turned over and found a slightly more comfortable position, and barely fell asleep.

In the early morning, the morning breeze blows, the leaves of the trees not far away gently sway, the luxuriant leaves make a rustling sound, and the fresh, moist air penetrates the pores.

A group of people set out on the journey again.

Xiao Feng moved his body, in the past few days of sleeping in the open, he had not slept a peaceful night, he had been worried, and he had never taken off his sleeve arrow.

"Uncle, how long do we have to get to Autumn Wind Valley?"

As soon as Xiao Feng got into the carriage, the uncle moved his butt to the side very interestingly, stretched out a finger, and then flicked it.

Today?

If it is really as the uncle said, the Autumn Wind Valley is rich in soldiers, then maybe Liu Cheng's calculation is here.

In the past three nights, he has noticed that in the convoy, officers and soldiers often secretly look at him, and their eyes are not good.

The entire team can't all be arranged by Liu Cheng, right?

While this thought flashed through Xiao Feng's heart, he didn't feel like it.

At the very least, the coachman didn't seem to be hostile to him, and the four people who Wang Lung arranged to come in were secretive in their speeches and their positions were unclear.

Thinking that he might be facing enemies on all sides, Xiao Feng's head was big for a while, and he reached out and touched his sleeve.

The hard hand of that thing made him feel a lot more relieved.

Just as he was thinking, a horse came running on the opposite side, and the dust was blowing up, looking down on the specific face of the man, but the long knife on the horse was extremely eye-catching.

The convoy slowed down a bit, and everyone felt their weapons warily.

As the person who came closer and closer, Xiao Feng found that the person immediately had a bit of a resemblance to Niu Daquan's eyebrows, and he had a rough answer in his heart.

"Who is Xiao Feng?"

Xiao Feng took out a letter from his arms, and said with some uncertainty: "Niu Dehao? ”

Niu De laughed and gave Xiao Feng a bear hug, "My father told me about you, don't worry, as long as you can help, I will definitely help." ”

After speaking, he respectfully clasped his fists at Xiao Feng and saluted.

"Brother Niu, you're too polite." Xiao Feng smiled.

"My father has said everything at home, don't worry, I will play with a big knife, and I will definitely protect your safety." Niu De said respectfully.

The two exchanged a few more words, and Niu Dehao secretly pulled Xiao Feng aside and looked around.

"I inquired, the four officers and soldiers in the convoy are coming at you, the detention is fake, and the killing of you is real."

Although he had expected it in his heart, after hearing these words with his own ears, Xiao Feng still had mixed feelings in his heart.

"The soldiers of Autumn Wind Valley are not small in scale, and they often do things like robbing houses and houses, and they dare to do anything as long as the money is in place anyway."

Niu Dehao led the horse and Xiao Feng walked side by side, and he said with a straight face: "Brother, around noon, we will reach the boundary of the Autumn Wind Valley. ”

"If something happens, you'll ride this horse."

Xiao Feng was annoyed, "Who do you think of me?" ”

"No, I have no grievances with them, there will be no problem, but you, don't care too much at that time, ride a horse and run away."

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Do you think I'll have a good time going back, this batch of goods is a car, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers follow." ”

"The importance can be imagined, if I really ran back, who casually charged me with a trumped-up crime, and still didn't run."

Niu De scratched his head, he didn't know how to answer, he didn't think so deeply.

There was a chat on the road, but I didn't feel bored, and I learned from the chat with Niu Dehao.

This guy didn't get along well in the barracks, and he stayed for more than three years before he got mixed up.

Being upright is one thing, and there is also not giving enough benefits to the bosses.

Xiao Feng patted him on the shoulder, "It's really not good, you can just go back and do it with me, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

Niu De nodded and looked around vigilantly.

Since stepping into the realm of the Autumn Wind Valley, Xiao Feng has assembled the bow and crossbow in his baggage and held it in his hand.

He wasn't good at close combat, so he didn't bring a machete with him when he went out this time.

Niu Dehao found that the bow and crossbow in Xiao Feng's hand were different from what he had seen in the barracks.

Xiao Feng proudly told him that the one in his hand was a modified repeater.

It can be loaded with seven arrows at a time, although it has to be wound manually, but at least it saves the most wasteful loading steps.

Niu Deyu was about to come over to have a look, but suddenly his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but pull Xiao Feng behind a stone.

Xiao Feng and the team were stunned by his inexplicable behavior.

But in the next second, everyone trembled.

At the end of the road, there was a cloud of dust, noisy footsteps and incomprehensible shouting.

More than fifty soldiers, all armed with weapons, approached them with murderous vigour.

Looking at the posture, it is clear that it is coming at them.
