Chapter 33: Attack!
After hearing the truth, Tang Ji couldn't help but burst into tears, saying that it was good to promote good and eliminate evil?
Tang Ji's small eyes were full of heartache for Su Wen, but thinking that he had finally escaped from the ferocity of Steward Wu, he reluctantly accepted the fact that Su Wen was going to the state capital.
"Okay, I don't care anyway, you cheated me out, you have to be responsible for me!"
Hearing Tang Ji's suspicious confessional words, Su Wen couldn't help but feel a chill, and he suddenly felt that in this carriage, I am afraid that only him and his sister Su Yu are normal people.
But at least, the journey won't be so boring.
In fact, what Su Wen didn't know was that from the moment their carriage drove out of Linchuan City, they were already destined not to be so calm forever......
Linchuan City is thousands of miles away from the state capital, and even the best plan has to walk for ten days and half a month, and it will pass through two cities and several villages and towns along the way.
Yanbei seems to be extremely familiar with the distribution of each town and village, and the route he chooses is very reasonable, he can always find the village and town before sunset to rest, replenish water and food, and never have a single overnight stay in the wild, which can't help but make Su Wen more and more curious about this mysterious swordsman. But it's a pity that this Yanbei seems to be really not good at words, so Su Wen tried to talk several times in vain.
Along the way, they were all right, and even the thieves mentioned in Yin Wuxian's mouth didn't see a shadow.
Five days later, the carriage slowly drove into the "New Leaf Town", according to Yanbei, the road behind will be much easier, if you are lucky, you will be able to reach the state capital in about five or six days.
found a random inn in the town, Yan Bei first pulled the horses to the backyard to feed the grass, while Su Wen and the others walked into the inn first, each chose a room, and asked for a few things to eat, all of which were as sparse and ordinary as a few days ago, until they sat down and heard the conversation of several people at the next table.
"Hey, have you heard? There's another big case in the west!" a man with a red face was the first to speak.
Hearing this, an old man next to him stretched out his hand and stroked his goatee, and smiled mysteriously: "Xiaodao, you are lagging behind in this news! The eighth master told us about this two days ago." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Dao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with expectant eyes.
The middle-aged man was slightly chubby, and his face was very rich, and he was not in a hurry to speak at this time, but took a sip of wine, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it is not a big case, but several caravanserai were robbed, and it is said that the same group of people did it, and those thieves were cruel, and they didn't leave a single living mouth." ”
Hearing this, Su Wen couldn't help but look back at the little monk beside him, and teased: "Mr. Know-it-all, didn't you say that there is nothing you don't know about the entire Weiguo?
Haoma smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know, but I can't say it unless I ......"
Su Wen hurriedly waved his hand: "Stop! I won't agree to your request, and there is no other news to exchange!"
After a few days of contact, Tang Ji also knew what the relationship between Haoma and Su Wen was, but in his eyes, this Haoma was simply a little god who opened his eyes and said nonsense, it was okay to deceive the ignorant boy, how could he deceive him Uncle Tang Ji?
So at this moment, Tang Ji also smiled unceremoniously: "You little monk, you make up nonsense all day long, you have been with us for the past few days, how can you know what is happening elsewhere?
Haoma was not annoyed, and said with a pleasant face: "I have my own way, but I can remind you that the gang of thieves they talked about, maybe we will meet in the near future." ”
Su Wen didn't take Haoma's words to heart, he rolled his eyes and pricked up his ears again, wanting to hear any new news from the next table.
"I advise you, don't think about the west, it's better to think more about what to do over there on the Ghost Wangpo!" the eighth master sighed, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.
Hearing the eighth master say this, the knife and goatee suddenly looked bitter, and it was obvious that this question had poked at their sore spots.
"Eighth master, it's not that we don't want to contribute, it's really that place is too mysterious, basically one dies when you go in!"
"Yes, yes, it is said that last time a scholar in that slate town wanted to break through, and finally died, which makes us ordinary people dare to provoke casually!"
The eighth master knew that what everyone said was the truth, and he also frowned, and said: "But we can't go on like this forever, otherwise our caravan will have to make a detour for dozens of miles when it goes out, and this transaction will not be compensated?"
After that, there was another sigh of sighing, Su Wen listened curiously, he didn't know what kind of place this Ghost Wangpo was, but just hearing the name was not a good place, he secretly kept an eye on himself, thinking that he would have to talk to Yan Bei later, it was best to bypass this Ghost Wangpo, so as not to cause trouble, just thinking about it, Yan Bei had already walked into the inn, and the eight masters and others at the adjacent table also stopped talking and drank worriedly.
After dinner, everyone went back to the room to rest, Su Wen read the book for a while, and then fell asleep with Su Yu.
Early the next morning, everyone set off again, and after being reminded by Su Wen, Yanbei seemed to have deliberately changed the route, abandoning the original official road and taking the small road instead.
The carriage bumped all the way, making Tang Ji, who was already obese, even more uncomfortable, his face was faintly pale, Su Wen saw this, and was about to ask Yanbei to stop the car, but he only felt the body shake violently, and he sank forward, and then a loud noise came from outside the car!
Su Wen was startled and wanted to poke his head out to see what was going on, but suddenly heard Yan Bei's loud shout.
"Don't come out!"
Yan Bei rarely speaks on weekdays, and usually nods and shakes his head to signal, and suddenly hearing Yan Bei's extremely hoarse voice, Su Wen was immediately startled.
But he chose to believe in Yanbei.
Almost instantly, Su Wen had already moved, he first stepped to the door of the car, protected his sister Su Yu behind him, and then motioned to Tang Ji and Haoma to lower their heads, Tang Ji's lips were white, and he fell to the ground with some difficulty, and his small eyes were full of horror.
None of the four people in the car now knew what was going on, but Su Wen knew very well that he was afraid that there was trouble.
Thinking of this, Su Wen swept the Haoma lying next to Tang Ji with his peripheral vision, but found that the other party seemed to deliberately lower his head and couldn't see his expression.
Su Wen's heart sank again.
"Could it be that you were really caught in the language of Haoma?"
Yan Bei was standing on the front of the car at this time, the reins in his hand had been cut off by him in time, and in front of him, there was a horse corpse.
It was the horse of their carriage.
Yan Bei still lowered his head, the big hat completely obscured his appearance, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist, motionless.
Not far away, a bald man stood in the wind, holding a short knife, cold, beside him, there were more than a dozen warriors, these people were slowly moving their feet, faintly, the entire carriage had been surrounded in the middle, judging from the fierce light in their eyes and the knotted muscles, these people were by no means ordinary bandits!
The bald man looked at Yanbei in the carriage, his eyes were shining, you know, for this ambush, they have crossed half of Huizhou, and they didn't find the real target until last night, for the sake of insurance, he even carefully poisoned the stable, calculated the time and waited here, but there were still some accidents.
In the original expectation, the sudden death of the horse will inevitably cause a panic among the people on board, and that is the best time for the bald man to do it.
Who would have thought that the driver was too calm, and the moment the horse fell to the ground, he immediately cut the reins with the sword in his hand, minimizing the crisis!
Therefore, the bald man did not attack at the first time.
"It's a pity. ”
sighed secretly in his heart, although the bald man didn't think that the other party would be able to escape the knife in his hand, but judging from the calmness of the driver just now, I am afraid that he is also a good hand, and he can't say it, and in the end he has to fold a few of his subordinates here.
The bald man was hesitating about how to take down the other party at the lowest cost, so he didn't move for the time being.
Yan Bei also didn't move, because he was also hesitating.
Yan Bei didn't know if the other party's target was himself or the other people in the carriage, if it was himself, it would be okay to say, but if these people were coming for Su Wen, things would be in trouble.
Su Wen is the person who Yin Wuxian specially explained before leaving, so that he must protect, he owes Yin Wuxian a favor, and this promise must be kept no matter what.
So, do you choose to stay put, or break out?
Soon, Yanbei made a decision.
I saw him slam his waist suddenly, reflexively got into the carriage, grabbed Su Wen by the collar, grabbed him out of the carriage, and then jumped and rushed towards the nearest martial artist!
"Brother Yan, what are you doing! Let me down!"
Su Wen was shocked and angry, constantly struggling, when he just came to the outside of the car, he had already seen the situation clearly, the horse corpses on the ground, the big men around him, and the murderous atmosphere, all showed that they had been ambushed!
Among the group, Su Wen and Tang Ji have just opened their positions, if it is okay to say that the poetry is right, if they really want to fight with these warriors with rich combat experience, it is definitely a dead end.
Don't look at Su Wen once killed Xu Yi with a song "Minus the Word Magnolia", but you must know that Xu Yi at that time had never even opened his literary position, he was just an ordinary person, and he was an ordinary person who was already injured and couldn't resist!
Therefore, all the hopes are pinned on Yanbei's body.
But who would have thought that Yanbei was actually ready to escape with Su Wen!
What should Tang Ji do if they leave? What about Su Yu?
This is equivalent to pushing them into the fire pit completely!
"You let me down!" Su Wen resisted desperately, but Yan Bei was unmoved, and carried Su Wen on his shoulders, his feet were like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he had already swept three feet in front of the warrior!
"Stop him!" The bald man immediately reacted, and also rushed towards Yanbei, with a hideous look on his face.
Su Wen was struggling, subconsciously raised his head, looked at the bald man, suddenly shook his body, and blurted out: "Hua Fei!"
