Xuanyuan calendar 36555.

Saibei, the hometown of the Western Regions, the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains.

On this night, the cold moon was like frost, and the north wind howled.

Suddenly, on the lonely and desolate Ganliang Ancient Road (the official road leading from Ganzhou to Liangzhou at that time), a crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded - I saw a sturdy northland horse, galloping from west to east, stepping on the dust!

When the flying horse was approaching, it turned out to be a yellow horse with an unusual horse, and on the back of the horse, a young rider with a vigorous posture was carried.

The young man on the horse, wearing a felt hat and dressed as a knight, was about twenty years old. Although his eyes were bright, his expression was gloomy and solemn!

At this moment, the navy blue cloak behind the rider was hunting and fluttering with the howling north wind......

At the same time, next to the ancient road, about a stone's throw away, on a hillside covered by several small trees, in the shadow under the trees, a big man in black was quietly curled up!

This lurking man was dressed in a black night suit, and even his head was wrapped in a black cloth!

Although it was a bitterly cold night when the water was dripping into ice, the big man in black had great endurance—he had been squatting in that hiding place without a trace......

At this moment, the black-clothed man was steadily holding a divine arm bow (a long-range and extremely lethal bow with yak horns as a bow arm) in his hand, and his eyes were staring intently at the avenue below the mountain!

After only a breath of effort, the yellow hused horse carrying the rider was already within range of the divine arm bow. The black-clothed man immediately held his breath and skillfully controlled the crossbow machine - shooting a steady and fierce arrow at the rider!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a dark arrow breaking through the air, and the rider hurriedly listened to the sound to find his position, and almost at the same time, his upper body fell backwards on the horse--a horizontal "iron plate bridge" just made this dark arrow pass by! The rider secretly shouted "rejoice", and then quickly recovered his body, and without hesitation, he galloped away......

As soon as the horse had advanced a hundred feet away, the rider was keenly aware that there were several birch trees in front of him that obscured the moonlit intersection, and the shadows behind the bushes were ...... There seems to be another killer lurking there!

He couldn't help but curse secretly: "The ghost is not gone!", and immediately subconsciously handed over the reins of the horse control to his left hand. At the same time, the wrist of his right hand stretched slightly, as if he was preparing for a crisis......

Apparently, the rider's judgment was quite accurate, and at the very moment when there were only a few horses left at the junction ahead, a tripwire swayed between the gloomy trees!

It was too late, too soon, and I saw a cold light rise from the rider's cuff and shoot out a sharp blade with great speed - at this moment, the "brush" of the ground cut the rope blocking the way!

In an instant, the yellow horse of the divine steed had spread its four hooves and headed to the east......

In the desolate wilderness of the lonely Saibei, the moonlight is still sprinkled all over the ground like silver, and the strong north wind is still raging wantonly......

The man who was hiding behind a tree and plotting only reaped the look of astonishment on his face! After a while, he still couldn't believe that this result was true!

Originally, on this extremely cold night of the moon, with the joint ambush of the two ace killers - dealing with a young man who has not long debuted, is it not a sure thing?

Who would have thought that the young man would be so incredibly fast, and his calm response could be so easy that he was almost indifferent! Encountering such a "complete defeat" was the first time in the career of the two men in black who had been crisscrossing the north for more than ten years!

Under the cold moonlight, the yellow horse had already galloped to the city of Liangzhou.

However, by this time, the city gates were closed, and the drawbridge was hanging high, and only the clear sound of leakage could be heard from the watchtower. The young knight on the horse tightened his reins slightly, and raised his head to look at the tower......

Then he resolutely turned his horse's head and continued along the road leading to the southeast......
