Chapter 5, Outside Linze City (2)
The golden glow of the setting sun sprinkled on the city wall at the end of the sight, sprinkled on the head of the city with the wind hunting tiger head flag, that is the banner of the king of Dingxi. Near the city wall, the word "Linze" on the city gate is marked with silver hooks, which are splashed with blood by the remnant sun, which makes these two words also seem to have a killing atmosphere and shock people's hearts. This word is like its owner, intimidating the border and guarding the city. On the other side of the moat, a soldier stood on each side of the city gate, dressed in armor and holding a spear, with only two piercing eyes under his bronze helmet, staring at the people walking from the bridge without blinking. From time to time, he raised his spear horizontally, stopped the person he felt suspicious, and said, "Slow! After a careful examination, he said again: "Go!" "On both sides of the bridge on this side of the moat, there are many small vendors, one by one, with long stalls. Because of the strict law and discipline of Linze City, non-Nanqi people are not allowed to enter. There is a stone tablet at the head of the bridge, which reads: Alien race crosses the bridge and dies. It has the same killing atmosphere as the word Linze on the city gate, and it is from the hand of one person. The terrible thing is that this is not just a threat, every once in a while, you can always see the soldiers guarding the gate checking the people crossing the bridge, asking and asking, and suddenly a shot pierces a person, picking the abyss. Therefore, small traders from foreign countries mostly gather by the moat to exchange goods with the people who come out of the city, or sell some goods. Linze's defense of the city also ignored it, as long as you didn't cross the bridge, even if you killed people and set fire on the other side, it had nothing to do with him. With such jurisdiction, the people outside the city were terrified, and the people inside the city felt reassured.
"It's finally here!" The middle-aged man at the leader of the caravan let out a sigh of relief, raised his wrist and wiped the corners of his forehead, the white handkerchief tied to his wrist had been soaked with sweat along the way.
The three of them also let out a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, smiled easily, and loosened the strings all the way. Chen Yuan said: "Yes! It's time to settle accounts. After that, he turned over and got off the camel, and before his feet landed, an arrow feather behind him whistled to the back of the heart, Chen Yuan jumped a few feet on tiptoe, and then kicked the camel's back, and then rose again. As Chen Yuan turned around in the air, the four pieces of broken silver sandwiched between his five fingers had been thrown around by him, and then there were four muffled sounds, and the stall owners of the four stalls at the head of the bridge fell to the ground, holding crossbows in their hands, and there was a blood hole in the center of their eyebrows, and the broken silver pierced out of the back of their heads. Before Chen Yuan landed, he could hear a mess of shouts below. Look at the caravan again, where does everyone still look like they have drunk, all of them are extraordinary, Gu Ming and Dai Er are surrounded by three or four each, and they still cooperate with each other, where this person can't hit with a knife, that person's sword blade is already waiting there. The two of them moved in danger, but they could not handle it, Gu Ming didn't have a gap when he wanted to draw the knife, and finally caught the opportunity to unsheath the long knife, and he was hit on his arm, and immediately the skin and flesh were full of blood. However, as long as Gu Ming had a long knife in his hand, it was only a matter of three or five moves to reverse the decline, and Chen Yuan ignored it, and the camel that was shot dead at his foot flew towards Dai Er. Dai Er was also chased and beaten by several people who cooperated well, and he couldn't find a trace of room to fight back, so he kept dodging and wandering by relying on his superb body skills, but fortunately he was not hurt at all. Chen Yuan killed from behind, and the cold light flashed in his sleeve, and one of the several people besieging Dai Er fell. But as long as there is one person missing, it is no different for Daiji than if only one person attacks him. Soon the rest of the people were beaten to vomit blood, and the stacks of sandbags were generally stacked together and sat on them. Looking at Gu Ming's side, the battle was also over, leaving only one alive, who was slapping the man's mouth: "Chop off my arm!" Chop off my arm! When Dai Er saw this scene, he suddenly seemed to remember something, rummaged through several people under his buttocks, picked up one of them and gritted his teeth, threw it at Gu Ming's feet and said, "And this!" This one says that one hand can kill both of you, and the other hand can spare time to dig holes. ”
"Stop playing, let's go." Chen Yuan shouted at the two of them, and the three of them chased back the way they came. Before he could chase for half an hour, he saw the middle-aged man who was running wildly with a small cart.
The middle-aged man only felt that the car was getting heavier and heavier, and muttered resentfully: "What a broken thing, the heavier it gets." ”
"You don't know what the is, what are you pulling it for?" There was a sudden sound behind him, which frightened the middle-aged man to stagger, and when he looked back, he sat down on the ground. No wonder I feel that the more I pull it, the heavier it gets, I don't know when there are three people sitting on the small board car.
"Brother! Brother, spare your life, brother! I'm obsessed with money! Raise your noble hand, brother! As soon as the middle-aged man turned around, he instantly knelt down and kowtowed with a sad face.
"Who instructed you?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I don't know him, I just took him two hundred taels of silver, and after I finished talking about it, I had five hundred taels." The middle-aged man shuddered.
"And where are you going now?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"He asked me to take your suitcase and return it to the small restaurant." Middle-aged humane.
"Then why don't you do it at the hotel? It's a lot of effort! Daiji shouted.
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he trembled again, and said in a trembling voice: "He said, he said that the three of you should not be underestimated, and they sent four Dharma protectors in their gang, pretending to be hawkers and ambushing at the Linze Bridge, so they must hit with one blow." ”
"Why are you ambushed at the bridge? Wouldn't it be better to be ambushed in the store? Gu Ming also asked.
And he said, "Only, only when you take it most lightly, the odds are greatest." When you reach the bridge, it is the time when you take it most lightly, and when you get off the camel, that is when you are most defenseless. Hands on you when you are most careless and defenseless. "Middle-aged humane.
"Good idea." Chen Yuan praised, "If we don't do it in the most suitable place, we will definitely be prepared." Where we thought it was safe, wait until we have completely unguarded before we attack. ”
"But you still don't take it lightly." Middle-aged humane.
"It's just luck, thanks to the help of others." Tatsu Yuandao.
"Who's going to help you?" The middle-aged man asked. Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't answer, he said, "You were already guarding us before you entered that small shop." ”
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Where did we make you suspicious? It was smooth all the way. The middle-aged man asked.
"It's because you're so smooth." Chen Yuan said with a smile, "Hire an ordinary caravan and let them deliberately slow down, even if they bring enough food and water, then they won't agree." ”
The middle-aged man was silent.
"This kind of caravan pulling goods can get out of the desert a moment earlier, and it will definitely not stay inside. Even if they were given an extra hundred taels of silver, and they might still have a show if they were to slow down for a while or three, but if it was three days, they would just throw away the goods and money, and leave immediately without looking back. Chen Yuan said again.
"If a person is obedient to you for no reason, he either loves you very much, or he has great plans for you. It's clear that you're not the former. "Dai Erdao.
"Oops! Yes, second child, these words can come out of your mouth. Gu Ming was surprised.
"That's it! Just like those Qinglou women, if I accidentally drop a gold ingot when I take off my clothes, she will do whatever I ask her to do, and she can learn anything she can't. But if she stripped me naked and didn't find anything, then she didn't bother to move, and she obeyed you? Don't. Urging you to hurry up, you can still make her tired if you don't pay attention to it. Dai Er was quite proud.
"That's really...... Life is full of learning. Chen Yuan smacked his lips in admiration, and Gu Ming also twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Hey!" The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, "I really shouldn't have taken this job!" The middle-aged man's face was full of chagrin.
"Alright, don't pretend." Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "When are you going to make trouble?" ”
"Me? What am I pretending, how dare I! The middle-aged man said with a sad face.
"Those people's combined attack skills are quite good, why are you their leader?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile, "You can't stop them, why should they listen to you?" ”
"Hey! How can I stop them! That's because ......"
"Alright, don't make it up!" Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Daiji. "Pushing a cart to run so far without panting, we started panting when we got in the car. When we got in the car, you were visibly stunned, but you still pretended not to know. But if you are not so powerful, how can you not know the weight of three big living people. The contradictions everywhere, you only think about countermeasures, and suddenly forget about this stubble, right? ”
The middle-aged man was silent.
"Hands, take them out of your sleeves." Gu Mingcang's single knife was unsheathed and rested on the middle-aged man's neck.
The middle-aged man smiled, his face gradually calmed down, and there was no longer a sad expression. His hands were pulled out of his sleeves and slowly spread out, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Chen Yuan. He held two small transparent balls in each of his palms, dazzling the weak light of the setting sun.
"Glass bees? Do you have all of this? Chen Yuan was quite surprised.
"What's this? It's weird and good-looking. "Dai Erdao.
"Something that looks good is often dangerous." Gu Ming said.
"Yes, poisonous fruit always looks so tempting." Tatsu Yuandao.
"Do you know all the glass bees? You're really well-informed. The middle-aged man seemed to be unable to help but praise Chenyuan.
"The No. 1 poisonous secret weapon in the Western Regions, I've heard of it for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it in your hands today." Gu Ming said.
"Can this gadget be used as a hidden weapon?" Dai Er said, "This has no edges and corners, can it hurt when it hits the body?" ”
"Of course it's not a direct sacrifice." Chen Yuan smiled, "This thing is very exquisitely made, and it is glazed all over." The inside is cracked with the poison of the Western Regions killer bee, wrapped in a glass shell on the outside, and the center is also filled with fire oil, I really don't know how it was made. Chen Yuan was amazed.
"What's this, how many skilled craftsmen do we have there, a boat can be carved out of the walnut, and there are villains on the boat." Dai Er scoffed.
"Of course, it's not based on workmanship." Chen Yuan smiled, "This thing is infused with a little internal force, and as soon as it crushes the shell, it will explode violently." The debris inside shoots out in all directions, so much debris, you don't know where it will shoot, and the speed is so fast that there is no way to avoid it. ”
"It's really vicious, and it's attacked everywhere." Generations of the second way.
"What's even more poisonous is that once you crush this, it is equivalent to dying with your opponent. Even the enemies around you cannot be avoided, and you yourself bear the brunt of them. Gu Ming said.
"So it's just right for him right now." Chen Yuan pointed to the middle-aged man, "With one to many, I know that I am invincible, but I can't escape." ”
"Yes, I have no choice but to make this decision." The middle-aged man sneered.
"It's really the best idea." Chen Yuan smiled and took two steps forward.
"Don't move, I'll crush it one step further, there are four of them here, no matter how high your kung fu is, you can't avoid it." Middle-aged humane.
"Oh?" Chen Yuan took another big step forward, and one more big step could be in front of him.
"You!" The middle-aged man Zhang Huang took two steps back in a daze, and said with wide eyes: "You're not afraid of death?" ”
"I'm afraid, I'm very afraid." Tatsu Yuandao.
"Do you think I won't dare to trade my life with you! One for three, Lao Tzu is worth it. "Middle-aged humane.
"I don't know if you dare." Chen Yuan paused, and then said, "But even if you dare, I don't care." ”
The middle-aged man was silent, watching Chen Yuan take out a small bottle from his arms, uncork the bottle and pour out a little white powder on his fingertips, and asked with a smile: "Guess what this is?" ”
"Bear white alkali, can detoxify killer bee venom." The middle-aged man lost his luster and sighed. "No wonder you know this glass bee, and you even have the antidote." The middle-aged man muttered to himself, his hands hung down, and four glass beads rolled to the ground. Gu Ming quickly went over and picked it up, and with a few knives, he dug out a deep pit on the ground, buried the four glass beads in a solid porcelain porcelain, and punched a strong qi through the soil, only to hear a few muffled sounds of "poof", this first poisonous secret weapon in the Western Regions was completely wasted.
Chen Yuan smiled, put his finger into his mouth, and smacked his lips.
"You?!" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, "Bear white alkali alone is also a kind of poison, and only by being poisoned by a killer bee can you fight poison with poison." ”
"I know." Tatsu Yuandao.
"Then you ......" The middle-aged man was stunned.
"Who told you it was ursorine?" Chen Yuan shook his fingers again, "This is fine salt, we who are jumping in the wild often eat game, and it is better to bring a little fine salt with you." ”
"You're lying to me! Bastard! The middle-aged man shouted Chaochen to rush over, and was slapped by Dai Er in mid-air to stop the momentum, and flew back upside down, and a few broken teeth followed the master to draw a flying trajectory.
"Let's go! Take me to your master. "Dai Er is like picking up a dead dog, humane to the middle-aged.
Suddenly, there was a "poof", like a knife that had just hit a watermelon that was ripe and very thorough, and the melon exploded by itself. The middle-aged man's head was pierced by a short arrow like a crisp melon, and the arrow brought out some melon pulps. The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide in shock, staring at Daiji who was holding his collar in disbelief, as if he wanted to say something, but finally frowned violently and died.
"Who!" Daiji jumped on the board with a backflip and looked at the direction where the arrow feathers were shooting. A man in a black robe was running wildly in the deep grass by the side of the road.
"Chase!" Chen Yuan said that the person had left the string.
