Chapter 24: An Ambush in the Valley
The valley is flanked by a low peak, with many large trees and few weeds, as if it had been trampled on.
Quiet, the valley is so quiet that it makes people palpitate, only the sound of wind and grass.
Shen Shifang took out the map he bought in Tuojiang City and found the current place. I know that this place is called Shangyang Valley, and the two peaks on the left and right are named Sunset Mountain and Funiu Mountain respectively, and the other side of Funiu Mountain on the right hand has attracted Shen Shifang's attention.
Because on that side is the middle and lower reaches of the Tuojiang River, there is a bend, and there is a gang called Hongyanwu.
"Brother Lian, you see that the trees here are dense, it is extremely easy to hide, if there is an ambush, we are very likely to enter their encirclement, you and I are not hindered to get out, but the safety of these two girls, we need to take care of it. Shen Shifang dismounted and walked over to analyze his thoughts with Lian Kongling.
Lian Kongling looked around, then looked at the map, and lightly pointed at Hongyanwu with his finger and said: "Heh, I heard that this Hongyanwu and Youyanwu are related!" Lian Kongling chuckled twice after speaking: "But this Hongyanwu is not a place for the sect to practice martial arts, and the dock master Wang Pu took advantage of his brother-in-law to be the owner of Youyanwu Dock, Liwen, and raised a banner here to collect dozens of scum who did all kinds of evil, and started to collect river fees in the nearby river area." ”
Shen Shifang frowned: "Don't you care about the Nanliu Kingdom?"
Shen Shifang was indeed unbelievable, he thought it was just a sect, but looking at the name, he might have thought it was a subordinate sect of Youyanwu, but he didn't expect it to be a robber.
"Hehe, I heard that the river rulers of the surrounding towns have been bribed by him, and the river patrol army of the Tuojiang River will probably have to raise a glass and drink together when they meet them. Lian Kongling said sarcastically.
It's not that Nanliu doesn't want to govern these, but the hand of the Dongqian Empire is too long, not only is the national strength strong, but there are also many sect forces that are wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and they are also very helpless.
"So, we still have to take a detour?" Shen Shifang said. If he was alone, he would naturally be able to break through, but the carriage was slow and cumbersome, and he had to take care of the two girls, so it was really helpless to take a detour.
Lian Kongling looked at the map and said: "It takes two more days to go around, turn around this Sunset Mountain and then walk to the official road." ”
"Then it's decided, you tell the eldest lady about the situation. Shen Shifang put away the map and carefully watched the surroundings.
After Lian Kongling explained the reason to Situ Jie, although she agreed to the plan of detouring, she still blurted out an arrogant sentence: "A little Hongyanwu, dare to stop my convoy in the Treasure Garden? I have never heard of this force, why don't you go over directly?"
Lian Kongling had to learn from Shen Shifang's iconic shake and smiled bitterly: "It's about your safety, we have to avoid it!"
When the group was about to turn around, Shen Shifang's ears moved, and only after he turned on the first spirit, his hearing appeared to have improved most significantly.
He heard the sound of breaking wind and immediately shouted, "Be careful." ”
Then I saw a bow and arrow "poof" into the roof of the carriage with great accuracy, followed by a succession of arrows coming towards everyone.
Even Kongling didn't say a word, picked up the horsewhip and defended the left and right on the side of the carriage, protecting the carriage window and door.
Xiao Yang was not affected in the back, but still rushed to the carriage and dodged the deadly arrows.
Only Shen Shifang, he ran sideways in the direction of the arrows, and the best way to deal with bows and arrows without long-range attack weapons was melee combat.
Seeing that it was almost there, twenty or thirty people came out of both sides of the valley one after another, but fortunately, only five or six people were holding bows and arrows, and dozens of people came in waves, so it was difficult for them to do it. The dozens of people walked down the hill in a piecemeal manner, holding all sorts of weapons in their hands. There was another sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and several sturdy men immediately looked at Shen Shifang angrily.
Shen Shifang saw that the opportunity was not good, and decisively stepped back and formed a triangular formation with a few people.
These people approached Shen Shifang and the others step by step, and the first one spoke: "A few of you, leave the carriage and horses, and by the way, give all the gold and silver on your body, and I will spare your lives." Let me tell you again, we are from Hongyanwu, and I am Wang Pu, the owner of Hongyanwu. ”
The man who spoke was arrogant, and his words were full of arrogance, and I really don't know where their self-confidence came from. If it weren't for relying on the name of Youyanwu's subordination, he bought many military leaders, and I don't know how many times he would have been jointly wiped out by those passing merchants.
Shen Shifang held the thorn cloud in his hand, gave Lian Kongling a look, and said to Wang Pu: "Isn't it just a matter of blocking the road and robbing it? ”
"Are you impatient? Hmph, you guys go and tie up those little guys. Wang Puqi smoked and ordered a few little minions next to him.
At this time, Lian Kongling was reluctant, and said: "Hey, I said that you are a product, let these shrimp soldiers and crabs send us to the Treasure Casting Garden in the future, and it is not enough for others to laugh at you?"
Although Wang Pu is only a boss of unpopular forces, he at least knows a little about the major forces in this Nanliu country. Hearing the identity of the person with a very unbeaten expression, his heart immediately retreated, he didn't want to face the anger of the Treasure Casting Garden.
But in a blink of an eye, it is impossible for the convoy of this treasure casting garden to only have a few people, one is not like a delivery person, and the other is not like a certain big person in the treasure casting garden, this person can't be so few.
So he said boldly: "You said that you are from the Treasure Garden, then tell me who you are from the Treasure Garden, I said that I am still the uncle of the Treasure Garden, do you believe it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the subordinates around him burst into laughter, and the sound of haha was unbearable.
At this moment, there was a person whose face was as cold as frost, and he immediately stepped out of the carriage, this was not Miss Situ of the Treasure Casting Garden. Contempt for the Treasure Casting Garden was unforgivable for her, and she also made fun of herself with wild words, which made her father want to let his father enter the country of Nanliu to send troops to destroy them a few times.
Yes, it's a few times, and once is not enough to vent your hatred.
"Are you challenging the authority of my Treasure Foundry Garden?" Situ Jie said in a vicious tone, but she didn't know that her voice was really not ruthless.
Therefore, the dozens of people in Hongyanwu looked over like hungry wolves, and there were two girls who were very smart, and their desires at this time made them lose their IQ, and they didn't care about the identity of the Treasure Casting Garden that they had indicated before.
"Yo, what a beautiful girl, although she is young, she can also be a concubine of the dock master after a few years of captivity, what do you say?" Wang Pu's eyes lit up, and he turned a deaf ear to Situ Jie's words.
"Good, good, good. The miscellaneous people around Hongyanwu chimed in and shouted.
"It seems that they don't buy your account, Miss Situ. Shen Shifang smiled bitterly. This group of daring thieves really has no self-knowledge, in this world, if one is not careful, it is not the net worth, but the most precious life, although in their eyes, life is worthless.
Situ glanced at Shen Shifang whitely, how could she not hear that Shen Shifang was ridiculing herself, but she needed to rely on Shen Shifang at the moment, and she didn't care too much, thinking that going to Liuyun Sect would make him look good.
"Brother Lian, how about it? Fight or withdraw? But it seems that I don't have a choice, I can only rely on you and Liyang. Shen Shifang said to the two of them without any care, this is also the place where he discussed with them before, try not to do anything, and he is responsible for protecting the two girls.
"Come on, look at us, Xiao Li Yang, let's go up!" said even Kong Ling, Xiao Yang also secretly controlled the flow of true qi, ready to clean them up.
For these people, since they are not cultivators, their cultivation is naturally not high, and it is not bad to have a spiritual sense. Now, only that Wang Pu may have reached the first spirit.
"Be careful. If you can't do anything, you will return it. Shen Shifang told Xiao Yang.
"Got it, rest assured. Xiao Yang's stunned expression was gone, in exchange for a fierce face, but... It's still a little young.
When Wang Pu saw two of them coming over, he said angrily: "Heh, this is looking down on us, you all go up." ”
This asymmetrical battle began, and Lian Kongling was like a tiger like a flock of sheep, punching one left and right.
Xiao Yang is also unparalleled in his legs, and the two of them cooperated to beat the few people in front of them to the head of the rat.
Wang Pu saw that his subordinates looked like this, and this was okay, so he ordered everyone to besiege Liankong Ling and the two together, and he and a few good skills went around to coerce Situ Jie to let them be captured.
Several people rushed towards Shen Shifang and a few people, although Situ Jie said that he was from a famous family, he had seen all the big names, but he had never encountered such a scene, and he couldn't help but lose his face, and he was close to Xiao Yu.
Shen Shifang thought about it, his expression suddenly panicked, and he looked like a chaotic style of fighting against a few people, and occasionally took a few punches.
Situ Jie saw all this, and felt that Shen Shifang was just a good leader, and he didn't have much ability.
And what Shen Shifang wanted was such an effect, so that the foreshadowing for entering the Liuyun Sect had already been completed.
Suddenly, one of them took the opportunity to rush towards Situ Jie, Shen Shifang's eyes were cold, and he wiped the throat of one of the people who was wrapped around him, and after solving him, he went in the direction of Situ Jie.
The sneak attacker saw that his knife was about to fall on Situ Jie's neck, of course, he just wanted to hold it hostage, this woman was the main dock, but she couldn't really hurt her, he secretly thought about this merit in his heart.
"This Nizi, if you can't help, you won't hide away!" Shen Shifang complained in his heart.
ran over and pushed Situ Jie away, and Shen Shifang was stabbed in the back. Because he had a short knife in his hand, he couldn't effectively and accurately resist the sneak attacker's long knife, so he had to resist this blow hard.
Fortunately, this sneak attacker didn't want Situ Jie's life, so he stabbed very lightly, Shen Shifang snorted, frowned, and returned with a knife, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded.
When Shen Shifang's back wound was exposed in front of Situ Jie's eyes, the latter still covered his mouth and screamed softly.
Shen Shifang didn't want to kill people, after all, they didn't sin to death, and they didn't want their lives at the beginning.
It's just that repentance shouldn't be ...... The idea of hitting a girl.
So.......
