Chapter 9: Besieged
Aomine pulled the carriage to stop, only to find that the people who had been following them with the salt were all gone.
Aomine suddenly rang out the alarm bell and pulled out the long sword that was placed under the driver's seat.
"Master, we are surrounded, if I am not mistaken, it should be the group of people we delivered just now."
When Ruan Tang pulled the carriage at Qingfeng, he faintly guessed that something was wrong.
Really!
Ruan Tang was glad to have taken Qingfeng with him.
"Can you get them all?"
"Naturally!" Aomine smiled.
He doesn't care about these people.
"Master, stay in the car, don't come out, I'll come when I go."
After saying that, Qingfeng flew out, and after a while, there was a wail outside.
But the wailing continued for a moment, and soon all that was left outside was the crackling of the rain on the trees.
Aomine is back in control.
But before they could go out again, another group of strong men rushed out.
"Coming back?" Aomine shouted indignantly.
When Ruan Tang heard his words, he also lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Good fellows, now there are at least a dozen or twenty people surrounded by them outside their carriage, which is comparable to a small elite army.
Is this necessary to take them down?
"Qingfeng, there are so many people, do you have a chance?"
"Naturally, there is."
As one of the martial arts masters, how can Qingfeng say that he didn't succeed?
I saw him fly out again, and soon he was fighting with those strong men.
But in the end, there are many people on the other side, and no matter how powerful Qingfeng is, it is impossible to solve everyone in an instant.
And those people have obviously undergone special training, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and their vigilance is very high.
It didn't take long for Aomine to be entangled by a small wave of people.
And on Ruan Tang's side, there were also two strong men who rushed up, with a clear goal, and went directly to pull her box of gold.
Where is Ruan Tang willing to let go?
This is the money she earned at the risk of killing her head.
She hugged the box and shouted, "Aomine, help." ”
And Aomine, who was here, heard her voice, and a roundabout kick kicked two of the people around him away before he was able to fly.
He immediately flew back to the carriage and directly killed the person who grabbed the box with Ruan Tang with a sword.
But the others soon all gathered around, and immediately surrounded their carriage.
Soon, the strong men swarmed up, and Aomine began to scuffle with him again.
Ruan Tang and Chunhan hid in the corner of the carriage, holding the box of gold in their arms, and looked at the scene of the fight outside with a shocked expression.
At this moment, there was a 'boom', and the sound of arrows breaking through the air came, and one of the strong men in the group snorted, and the person fell, and after a few convulsions, he did not move.
The change came too quickly, and when the group of strong men reacted, there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and then, several arrows flew towards them through the rainy night.
Several arrows fell.
Aomine had already dodged the first arrow that broke through the air.
When the brawny men began to jump out of the carriage to escape, he grabbed the horse's rope, turned around, and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the carriage sped away towards the forest.
Here, the group of strong men fell down four or five at once, and the remaining ones reacted and immediately found a place to hide, and then released a signal.
And where the arrows were fired, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and more than a dozen men dressed in black sat on horseback and appeared in front of them.
The man at the head was dressed in a pure black robe, and the whole person was hidden in the night, blending with the night.
A lightning flash, thunder, and the light of lightning made everyone see a little bit of the man's appearance clearly, but only for a moment.
Everyone only felt that this man's face was as dark as that of a ghost, and everyone noticed that he also held a small bow and crossbow in his hand, which glowed faintly in the dark night.
He must have shot those arrows just now.
And the group of strong men who witnessed their companions being shot to death suddenly dispersed, and they were able to shoot people down accurately in such a dark night and on a rainy day, so you can imagine how sophisticated that person's archery skills were.
And this line of more than a dozen people, it seems that they are not ordinary people, their target is the people in the carriage, there is no need to fight with these people.
"Your Highness, are you chasing?" Nanfeng looked at the scattered people who had escaped, and turned his head to ask Chu Mu, who was the leader.
But Chu Mu just looked at the direction of the carriage's escape, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't answer his words.
After a while, Nanfeng said again: "The people in the carriage must be the people who smuggled the well salt, Your Highness, why don't we chase them first?" ”
A month ago, Chu Mu's people found out that there were people in Dian Prefecture who were privately making weapons, and it was very likely that they had also raised private soldiers here.
Privately manufacturing weapons and raising private soldiers is the rhythm of preparing for rebellion.
His nephew, the emperor, who can't support the wall, will only have lewd pleasures every day.
If he doesn't find out, it is unknown when the country will change hands.
He promised the imperial brother that he would guard the country for him and support his nephew.
Therefore, he secretly came here with more than a dozen personal soldiers, just to find out who was so bold.
They investigated for more than half a month, and finally got some eyebrows.
It was found that this place may not only be a private weapon, a private soldier, but also some other shady business.
Selling well salt is one of them.
They searched for a long time before they found out that the old nest of the trade was here.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived here, I met black eating black.
"Chase!"
Chu Mu gave the order, and rode his horse alone to chase in the direction where the carriage had fled.
Nanfeng and dozens of guards behind him also hurriedly rode their horses to follow, and suddenly in the rainy night, the sound of crackling raindrops was mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, and they disappeared into the mountains and forests in a moment.
After Ruan Tang and the others fled in a carriage, they galloped fast and fled into the depths of the mountains and forests.
The night is inconvenient to hurry, and it is a rainy day, so the visibility is even lower, and the Qingfeng who is driving the car is like the blind man touching the road, and he doesn't know where to go in the direction of escape?
The carriage had been galloping for a quarter of an hour, when suddenly the horse let out a terrible roar, and then began to lose its rhythm, and after running for a while, it fell straight down.
And the carriage was also carried on its side.
It all happened so fast that no one in the carriage reacted.
After Aomine fell, he got up after a few rolls.
At the same time, he noticed that the horse that had fallen to the side had an arrow stuck in its leg, which glowed coldly in the night.
His heart sank, and he didn't have time to think, so he got up and went straight to where the carriage was.
Ruan Tang and Chunhan in the car were worse than him, they didn't know what was going on at all, they just felt that the sky was dim for a while, and their bodies were smashed heavily on the wooden planks of the carriage.
Before he could cry out in pain, he was thrown out of the carriage, and even the box of gold rolled out of the carriage and fell out, and the gold was scattered all over the ground.
Ruan Tang's forehead slammed into one of the golds, and her tears fell out instantly.
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the place where she was hit, and her face was wet with rain, which seemed to be mixed with a stream of heat.
She took her hand off her head and spread it out in front of her, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
But she knew that it should have been broken.
Because the rain hit there, the pain was intense.
Aomine ran over and helped them both up.
At this moment, a man on a horse, dressed in black, appeared in the sight of the three of them.
Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves continued, and in a moment, behind him were a dozen men who were also riding horses and dressed in black.
