Chapter 5 Husband and wife darts
Two fast horses galloped through the mountains and rivers of Lingnan, and a pair of handsome young men and women sat on horseback.
That handsome guy is naturally Ma Yucheng, a smoke-wave angler, and Ma Xing is very anxious, and beads of sweat are already on his forehead. Ma Yu wants to be quiet and doesn't want to move around the rivers and lakes more. But since he married Yuan Yunni, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have always been associated with him. Just because the Taihu Heroine is too famous, there are often friends in the rivers and lakes who entrust them with important things. No, here comes again. Jiaozhou Thorn Shi got a jade watermelon from the hands of overseas merchants, a real god, green on the outside and red on the inside, like a real watermelon, to be solved to Lin'an, to the court. As soon as the baby came out of Jiaozhou, he had already encountered a lot of dangers, and his martial arts friends asked Yanbo anglers and Taihu women to help him.
That beauty is Ma Yucheng's newlywed wife Yuan Yunni, the famous Taihu Lake woman. The two of them came all the way from eastern Zhejiang, and they had been galloping for a long time to meet the darts in Lingnan, and the saddle was so hard that their buttocks hurt.
"My butt hurts from riding a horse for the past two days. Yuan Yunni sighed a little. Ma Yucheng pretended to smile lightly and said, "It's okay, when I'm done with this errand, I'll help you take good care of your buttocks." ”
"Wow, it's not in shape. Yuan Yunni snorted.
Not to mention that they were hurrying on the road, but to say that the jade watermelon they were going to greet was experiencing danger at some point. Jiaozhou Thorn Shi sent 500 soldiers to press the transport, but he was still not at ease, and asked the Bagui Dart Bureau to escort him along the way. Bagui Dart Bureau felt that the matter was very important, knowing that such a treasure would inevitably arouse the covetousness of greedy customers, and asked friends from the rivers and lakes to come forward to take care of it one stop at a time along the way, which led to the Yanbo angler and the Taihu Lake Woman.
At this time, Xia Huaiyuan, the chief dart leader of the Bagui Dart Bureau, was facing a jungle, a black forest that could not be seen. This jungle has a terrifying name, Death Valley. In the past, the Bagui dart bureau lost a dart here several times, and often the dart team entered the valley of death, and there was no news of both people and goods. But if you have to take a detour, I don't know how many extra roads will be taken, for fear of missing the dart period.
In the end, Xia Huaiyuan gritted his teeth and led the team into the jungle.
There was an independent grass house not far from the jungle, and when Xia Huaiyuan and they walked into the jungle, a pigeon flew out of the grass house. The pigeon flew across the blue sky and landed in the distant city of Panyu. There is a shop selling antiques in the city, which was opened by the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce. This Pingnan Chamber of Commerce is known as the largest chamber of commerce in the world, with branches in various places, and operates its own business and horse gangs. In the past ten years since the rise of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, the business of dart shops everywhere has been discounted.
The business is a two-story wooden building, and on the platform on the second floor stand two idlers, who are two middle-aged people, with a lot of beards and thick bodies, not like the Central Plains people. The one wearing the gray cloth robe is called Meng Desheng, and he is the helmsman of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce in Pingnan. He caught the pigeon, read the message, and said, "Into the valley of death." Of course, his words were said to the guy in the green cloth robe next to him, the middle-aged man in the green robe was called Meng Pingnan, and he was always sent to supervise the looting of the jade watermelon.
Meng Pingnan nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that our preparation is useful. Let the men of the two wings be concentrated to the north as well. ”
Meng Desheng summoned a young man and asked him to meet and order, while he accompanied Meng Pingnan to continue to see the scenery and wait for news.
Xia Huaiyuan and the others walked for about two hours, and when they reached the depths of the jungle, those tall ancient trees covered the sky and the sun, which was very gloomy. There are piles of white bones on the ground, most of which are left by the dart team who used to be in a hurry.
In the middle of the line, a soldier suddenly screamed, and when the people around him looked over, he had already shriveled and fallen to the ground, and a face was peeled off by life, bloody and very terrifying.
Xia Huaiyuan ordered someone to bury the soldier and continued to hurry. But he hadn't gone far before another scream, and the face of another soldier was gone, and he fell bloody in the forest.
The dart team moved forward in fear, especially those soldiers, whose martial arts were not very good, and they were always the target of the opponent's attack. The dart master of the Bagui Dart Bureau was good and was not patronized. I think that the person who shot has limited kung fu and aims to create terror, and he can't hurt the killer, otherwise something would have happened a long time ago.
It was getting dark, and this was when Xia Huaiyuan was most worried. He and a few dart masters supported the baby, and let the soldiers form several circles around the perimeter, with the guns and knives in their hands facing outward. In this way, a few laps coincide, and the knives and guns appear dense. The opponent who is missing has to use means to avoid this formation.
I thought there would be more casualties in the night, but there was nothing wrong with the night. At dawn, they walked out of the Black Forest, and according to their itinerary, they should be able to get out of Death Valley before dark. However, as soon as the team moved, terrorist attacks still occurred from time to time, and the whole team was about to collapse mentally, which was the effect of terrorist attacks. Who is it? Can come and go without a trace? Xia Huaiyuan didn't believe that an opponent with such a high martial arts skill could let them go last night, and there must be other tricks.
He pondered for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred to him, and he thought of a person. He raised his hand to stop the procession, and said in a hearty voice: "Don't panic, everyone, especially when attacked, just guard your portal and wait for me to strike out the original form of that." ”
These people are terrified of what will happen to them when they enter Death Valley, especially if someone around them is attacked. Hearing Xia Huaiyuan say this, his mood stabilized a little.
didn't go far, and sure enough, there was another scream, and another soldier was hit. Xia Huaiyuan had a sword in his hand, swept in front of the slain soldier like a swallow, swept his eyes around, and roared angrily: "I told you to pretend to be a ghost." A sword swept towards a tree. Everyone thought that he was in a mess and drew his sword indiscriminately. Surprisingly, there was a sound of "poof", and there was the sound of blades colliding. If you look closely, Xia Huaiyuan is actually fighting with a person covered in camouflage. The man was short in stature, and he didn't see a blade, as if he was empty-handed into the white blade and hard to connect Xia Huaiyuan's sword. In fact, that guy had a pair of choke sticks, hidden in his sleeve, and others couldn't see it, so they thought he was taking it empty-handed.
The other dart masters quickly surrounded him. The camouflage man let out a clear roar, broke through Xia Huaiyuan's sword light, and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
"Don't chase after the poor. Several dart masters wanted to chase after them, but Xia Huaiyuan waved his hand to stop them.
"Who is it?" asked the dart master.
Xia Huaiyuan said with certainty: "The East China Sea chameleon." His expression relaxed, and he continued: "This person's kung fu is not necessarily very strong, but he is very good at hiding in the jungle, and every time he succeeds, he hides and finds an opportunity to strike again." ”
The dart masters shook their heads, and someone said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"Of course you haven't heard of it. Xia Huaiyuan looked into the distance: "This person has always only committed crimes in Donghai County, and because of his special methods, there are more people who are scared to death by him than he kills." He shouted to the soldiers again: "It's okay, that guy won't shoot again once he has been recognized, everyone be on guard, there will be a fight ahead." ”
Xia Huaiyuan knew in his heart that in the face of such a powerful dart team, the chameleon would definitely not act alone. It seems that he is just creating terror, and the real battle is still on the way. He jumped to the top of the tree and observed the situation in the forest, and saw that there were birds hovering everywhere in the treetops, but there was no sign of them in the direction they were going. Knowing that there must be an ambush there, he commanded his team to take a detour.
The detour is difficult, and in many places it is simply not feasible, and the hazel thorns must be cut with a sword. The group of looters seemed to notice that something was wrong, and left the hideaway to stealthily hide in the dart team. But no matter how they hidden, they still alarmed the birds, so that the dart team was warned, and Xia Huaiyuan asked everyone to be on guard.
This action was pre-arranged by the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, and there are secret forces of this Chamber of Commerce everywhere in the rivers and lakes, but there are not many people in the martial arts who know about it. The chameleon had already created the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, but he had no status in the meeting, and wanted to use this time to seize the jade watermelon to improve his prestige. Who is joining forces with the chameleon? The leader is the cloudy mountain vulture. They hid the dart team, still lurking in the shadows. The vultures saw that the team was waiting for the battle, and knew that the chameleon's intimidation did not have the expected effect, and those dart masters and soldiers were still very warlike and had to deal with it carefully.
The team was on guard, and suddenly a black thing flew in, and the oncoming soldiers picked at the thing with a shot, and picked it upright. Of course, they don't know that this flying thing can't be picked, and if they pick it, it will become a flying disaster. It was a huge hornet's nest, tossed by the vultures in a black cloth, and if no one was alarmed, even if they landed, they would still be wrapped in black cloth. With this pick, the black cloth was broken, and with a "buzz", piles of wasps stung towards the dart team, and the whole team was in chaos in an instant. As soon as the team was in chaos, the vultures waved their crowds to kill, and all of them were strong in martial arts, and they could use natural objects to flash and move, and they were much stronger than the dart masters of the Bagui Dart Bureau.
Xia Huaiyuan's opponent is the vulture dove, and the name of the rivers and lakes played by this guy himself is the Yunshan vulture dove, but no one knows which mountain Yunshan is. However, the vulture is worthy of its name, with a beard on his face, but a barren place on his head, and he practices eagle claw skills. In fact, he is not from the Central Plains, he is from the northern grasslands, and he takes the name of the vulture of Yunshan Mountain, which is purely chaotic. A few of his rabbits rose and fell, and Xia Huaiyuan was about to be unable to resist the enemy. In the arena, the vultures have no obvious advantage, and after several fights, both sides have hanging colors. The commander who led the soldiers was still a general who was in danger, and after stabbing the hornet's nest, he was able to quickly gather the team, and hundreds of bows locked on the vulture and others.
"If you don't stop, don't kill!" the commander snapped. Seeing that the situation was not good, the vultures blew their whistles, and the group quickly disappeared into the jungle.
At this time, Ma Yucheng and Yuan Yunni had already rushed to the northern edge of the Black Forest, and they did not rush forward, but hid and watched the situation. The situation outside the forest is not optimistic, there are already a few people peeping here, Ma Yucheng doesn't know, they are all minions of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce. Ma Yucheng knew that the Bagui Dart Bureau had entered the Valley of Death, and he didn't know that Xia Huaiyuan had gone crazy. Every time Lin Mojin, there is a clear training in ancient times. There are unknown dangers in the Black Forest, how can he enter such a forest with a heavy treasure?
"I know you, Smoke Angler and Taihu Woman. Ma Yucheng thought that he was well hidden, and when he was complaining about Xia Huaiyuan in his heart, he suddenly heard a word not far from him, which startled him. Following the prestige, it was a thick camphor tree, with very dense branches and leaves, and the sound came from between the leaves. While the two were hesitating, a young man jumped from the tree, very burly, dressed in a strong suit, and carrying a steel gun. Ma Yucheng recognized the gun, it was the soul breaking gun of the Nangong family, different from other guns, at the junction between the head of the gun and the barrel of the gun, there were two more blades on the left and right, which was a unique three-pointed gun.
The couple had never dealt with the Nangong family, and they didn't know anyone from the Nangong family, so they looked at the visitor with some astonishment. The young man smiled and said, "My name is Nangong Yunfei, and my family has some friendship with the Bagui Dart Bureau, and I heard that they were in trouble, so I came to help. I've heard for a long time that they've hired smoke wave anglers to help with their darts. ”
Ma Yucheng suddenly hugged his fists and said: "The situation is not very optimistic, and there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes who covet it." ”
"I saw it, they are all people from the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, try your best to maintain it. Nangong Yunfei smiled. Nangong Yunfei is a hero of the Northland, and a soul-breaking gun swept across both sides of the Yellow River. The Yanbo angler is a tall old man, and it is not easy to find someone who wants to beat him in the half of the south of the Yangtze River. There is also a Taihu Lake woman next to her, as long as the Bagui Dart Bureau is out of Death Valley, they will be able to keep their peace for a while.
As he spoke, the Linjiao Islands flew in shock, and some of the high-rollers of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce shouted: "Come out soon!" So they found a favorable position to entrench themselves.
The jade watermelon is about to come out of the valley of death, and the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce with bad intentions is highly concerned. They were united in obeying the victorious selection, but each wanted to compete for merit, and could not act in unison, so they were divided into several selections. There are more than a dozen or even dozens of people in each pull, and the formation of several pullers is not small. But the Bagui Dart Bureau and the commander of the thousand are not vegetarians, and when they came out, the first to come out was a team of ten people, with a bow. No matter if you are a Da Luo Jin Immortal, once you do it, it will be difficult to be safe and sound under the bow of ten people. The second echelon came out, two teams of ten, still with bows. The third echelon came out, and it was a team of three tens. This was followed by the fourth echelon of four ten-man teams. After the fourth echelon, the dart masters of the Bagui Dart Bureau escorted the dart car, and there were hundreds of soldiers arranged in echelons on the left side of the dart, and on the right, there were also hundreds of soldiers in echelon arrangement, and the rear of the palace was more powerful than the forwards, and there were three echelons of fifty people. With such tight protection, how can this be robbed?
The good players of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce were eyeing each other, but they did not dare to start rashly. The dart team also felt that it was difficult to move an inch, and there was a brief confrontation between the two sides.
"Xia Darthead, I'll help you. Nangong Yunfei raised his voice and shouted, Xia Huaiyuan recognized him, waved his hand, and motioned for them to go over. The three of them entered the dart team, Xia Huaiyuan untied the package on his body and handed it to Nangong Yunfei and Ma Yucheng and said: "When there is a fight, you take this package and break out, and wait for me at the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian, and I will come to you with the official army escorting the dart car." ”
Ma Yucheng took it, feeling heavy and round, knowing that the jade was not in the dart car, but in this package. Tied on his back, his expression was a little solemn.
Those robbers of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce were afraid of the powerful bows of the officers and soldiers, and when they saw Nangong Yunfei and the Taihu Woman, they didn't dare to make a move. They generally don't know Ma Yucheng, if they know that this is more powerful than the Taihu Lake woman, they may dispel their thoughts. However, the Chamber of Commerce strictly ordered them to seize the treasure, and whoever took it back had a heavy reward, and these people were unwilling to return empty-handed, and finally launched it. The bows of the officers and soldiers were not vegetarians, and many people were injured. But the wealth is moving, and blood has not stopped greed, and there are still many people who have broken through the barrier and are gradually approaching the dart cart.
