Chapter 517: Attacked on the Road
After entering Hangu and going all the way to the west, less than 500 miles away, it was counted as Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State.
No more than the Great Era, there are many military towns in the territory of Qin.
You can see soldiers everywhere you go, and it is not a lie that all the people of the Qin State are soldiers, and even the schools in the villages have arranged martial arts courses early.
The muscles of the children who don't understand bullshit are trained early, and they are as strong as calves, and the skin on their bodies is rough and black after years of exposure.
The car ran over mercilessly, and Chen Chao looked at it all the way, quite interested.
"Brother Xian, you said that you Qin State, even the children of Douding have begun to practice martial arts, I don't think it's good, practicing martial arts too early, it will affect the development of children." Chen Chaodao.
"Ughβthat's a mistake."
Meng Bao waved his hand, "Big brother, you don't know this, our Qin country is still martial, which family's children haven't practiced martial arts since childhood?" It's no wonder. β
After ten years of getting along, Chen Chao and Meng Bao have begun to call each other brothers.
Knowing that this generalissimo of the Qin State likes to drink, Chen Chao did what he liked, so the relationship is changing day by day.
Today is a rare sober day for Meng Bao, mainly because the wine brought from Xianyang has been drunk, and he himself has to be pure brewed in Nanshan, and before he left for a while, the whole person was anxious and dry, like full of lice.
Chen Chao looked at the younger brother beside him who had just stopped drinking and was uncomfortable, and ordered Hou Ji to go to the back of the convoy and bring over two jars of wine.
This time he went to Qin State, and there were exactly two carts of wine among the gifts.
"What's so embarrassing about that? I can't ask for it. Meng Leopard waved his hand again and again. This wine is a gift from Daji to the Qin State, and he broke the rules when he took it.
"Don't worry, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, no one will know." Chen Chao smiled slightly: "Take it, the cart of wine will be given to you to Brother Xian." β
"You're really my big brother!"
Speaking of which, there is no reason why Mengbao does not want it.
Picked up the wine jar, unsealed the wine, raised his head and poured a few sips.
said: "Cool." β
As he was walking along the official road, the convoy suddenly stopped, and a Qin soldier who was opening the road in front suddenly ran over and pointed to the road ahead: "Generalissimo, the road is blocked!" β
Looking up, I saw that this was a wilderness, there was no village in front of the village, there was no shop behind it, there was a dense forest on both sides, and the leaves had already fallen. In front of the official road, several old trees fell in the middle of the road, blocking the way, perhaps blown down by the strong wind last night.
"Isn't it enough to send a few people to move away, this little thing also has to be reported, you don't have a brain!" Meng Leopard kicked over the little soldier who came to report it, and he was a violent temper.
"The villain is going, this is going to ......"
After the soldier left, Chen Chao frowned, looked at the woods on both sides, and then looked at the fast and fast messenger in front of him, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He always felt that there was something strange about this.
"Big brother, it's a trivial matter, you can leave in a while." Meng Bao continued to drink, telling Chen Chao not to worry.
Chen Chao rode on horseback, paused, and turned his head to look at the woods on one side.
"Whew!"
A sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, shooting through the leaves that fell sporadically from the branches, and the speed did not decrease, shooting straight towards Chen Chao.
"Xiangye, be careful!"
With Hou Ji's loud roar, Chen Chao's upper body was pressed against the horse's back by Hou Ji's outstretched hand, and he was able to dodge a dark arrow shot from the woods.
Bang β
The crossbow bolt didn't hit anyone.
It is the wine jar where Meng Bao is drinking wildly next to Chen Chao.
The jar was torn apart in an instant, and the liquor was splashed everywhere.
When he boarded, the leopard's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes.
"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!"
An arrow missed, and the sound of breaking the air sounded in the forest one after another, and everyone dismounted and set up shields in front of them.
After a rain of arrows, the leopard poked his head out, drew his knife and shouted:
"Don't die, dare to ambush the mission!"
"Come on, give Marshal Ben a catch!"
Chen Chao also gave Hou Ji beside him a look, Hou Ji immediately made a gesture, and several agile dragon guards got the order and quickly probed into the depths of the woods, making sure to catch the figure in the forest.
β¦β¦
In the forest, three figures fled frantically with crossbows in hand. They did not complete the task assigned to them by the main family, and now they are being pursued by others, which can be described as a great shame.
"Run, don't get caught!"
"Understood."
"Split up and meet at the old location."
The three of them were all good hands, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, and quickly threw off the ordinary Qin soldiers who were pursuing in the rear in the forest.
After running for a while, Heifu turned his head to look and found that he could no longer see the figure of his pursuer, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He held on to the trunk of the tree with one hand, bent over and gasped for breath, wiping a handful of sweat from his head.
After a short rest, Hefu hurried to the agreed rendezvous point.
As soon as he raised his head, a sharp knife light fell, and Heifu was startled, and hurriedly rolled away.
When I went to see it, there were three people standing on the trees around me.
Heifu's every move fell into their eyes.
"Catch it alive." The leader snorted lightly.
The other two nodded and struck at Heifu.
Hearing this, Heifu felt greatly humiliated, and hurriedly pulled the trigger, shot an arrow and tried to escape from the encirclement.
The speed of the three men was obviously much faster than him, and it didn't take long for them to catch up again.
Swish!
A single knife cut off one of his legs.
The blood splashed on the dry fallen leaves, and Heifu knew that he could not escape, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes, but he was about to bite his fangs and kill himself.
"Boom!"
There was a crisp sound, and before he could kill himself, his jaw was broken and dislocated alive.
A punch followed, plunging Heifu's eyes into darkness.
"Carry it away! Take it back. β
