Recalling the panic of being chased yesterday, a group of people finally escaped from the town in the evening, otherwise who knows what else will happen, as for who wins in the end between the boy and the eighth master, Feng Shang and they don't care at all.
Feng Shang and they walked north for a whole day, Qiu Xie Ding said: "Walk for almost another day, you can see a river to the east, when we go by boat, this not only speeds up, but also saves physical strength!" Feng Shang glanced around, at this time they were walking on the cliff on the mountainside, but it was getting later and later, he said: "This road is really sparsely populated, if you want to see the sky, it will be dark, where do we live!"
Taishi Xiaomeng pointed to the front and said: "Look, there is a cave there, let's spend the night here tonight!" Mu Ziyi said: "It can only be like this, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, we want to be fast, we can only do this!" Yi Muke smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, at least there is a cave to accommodate, it's better than nothing!"
At night, the group spent the night in the cave, and set off at dawn the next day. In the afternoon, they finally saw the river Qiu Jieding had mentioned, and there was a simple raft by the river. Mu Ziyi said: "Presumably this is prepared for us by the Thirty-six Evils!" Qiu Xie Ding smiled and said, "It should be like this!" Feng Shang praised: "It's really good, it's really easy to have such a pioneer!"
After the five of them got on the raft and began to go downstream, Taishi Xiaomeng said: "This is really much faster than us walking! And it is very easy!" Seeing that the green hills on both sides of the river bank continue to move backwards, Mu Ziyi said: "At this speed, the time we spent on detouring can be made up!"
Several people sat on the raft and enjoyed the surrounding scenery, talking and laughing, when suddenly the raft seemed to hit something and stopped moving forward, and Feng Shang was almost thrown off the raft. Qiu Xie Ding said, "We should have hit a stone!" But when he looked into the water, he realized that the raft had not hit the stone at all, but a line of wooden thorns across the river.
Mu Ziyi also discovered this phenomenon, and he immediately became vigilant, because these wooden thorns were obviously not the masterpieces of nature, and someone must have deliberately arranged a trap here. "Everyone, pay attention, we may have encountered water thieves!" Mu Ziyi reminded the others. Feng Shang was at a loss for a moment, and he asked, "What is a water thief?" Qiu Xie Ding explained: "A water thief is a robber who specializes in robbing on the water surface for money and killing people!"
Feng Shang frowned, and said, "Didn't you say that it was safe to take this road? How could there be water thieves?" Qiu Xie Ding was ready for battle, and he said: "Although this road is rarely walked by people in normal times, those traders will also have water routes in order to save trouble, and I think these water thieves are likely to treat us as traders." As soon as he finished speaking, countless arrows suddenly shot from both sides of the river. Qiu Jieding's left hand was raised, and all the other people who knew each other very well squatted down, and the shield in Qiu Jieding's left hand appeared, forming a huge barrier, blocking all the arrows into the water.
When the thieves saw that the arrows were useless, two men ran to the river, dug up a piece of iron chain in the ground twice, and then the two of them pulled the chain out. Immediately afterward, an astonishing scene occurred, and a wooden bridge appeared out of the water. The wooden bridge blocked the way of the raft, and then, dozens of water thieves ran out of the woods on both sides, and they stood on the bridge and shouted to Feng Shang: "If you want to live, leave all your money and goods behind?"
Mu Ziyi arched his hands on the raft and said, "Big brothers, fight."
As far as you can see, our rafts are simply made of wood, and we have any money on them?" Suddenly, another water thief said, "Big brother, we haven't opened for months, and our brothers are starving to death!"
Hearing this, the eldest brother who was about to let him go hesitated again, and he said to Mu Ziyi: "You also heard, my brothers, there is no way, you have to leave something, we can't run in vain this trip!" Mu Ziyi said: "But we really don't have anything! Only this raft, otherwise I'll give it to you!" Someone among the water thieves said: "Since there is no money, if you strip their clothes, you can exchange them for a few taels of silver, and there are women among them! Yi Muke subconsciously hid back when he heard this, and the boss of the water thieves said: "But we have never sold people!" His little brother said: "Big brother, the times have changed, if we are still as merciful as before, we will starve to death sooner or later, as long as we can get money, we should do whatever it takes!"
Just when this group of water thieves hesitated, Qiu Xie Ding really couldn't wait, he conjured a silver steel knife in his right hand, and said to the water thieves: "You bastards, you really take it for granted to rob houses and houses, it's not good to do something with hands and feet, you want to be water thieves, today I will make you all water ghosts!" As soon as the words fell, he jumped up from the raft, the steel knife in his hand instantly became larger, and then slashed down towards the middle of the wooden bridge.
"Wow!" The whole wooden bridge fell apart in an instant, and all the water thieves standing on it fell into the water, and those who could swim hurriedly swam to the shore, and those who could not swim could only struggle in the water. Qiu Xie Ding swung his knife again and cut off the wooden thorns in the water, and the raft without obstacles went down the river again, and soon the water thieves could not see it.
Mu Ziyi looked at Qiu Jieding, who had withdrawn the steel knife, and asked, "I thought you were going to get rid of them all!" Qiu Jieding sighed and said: "Alas, we have also seen a lot of people like them along the way, although they are very hateful, but think about it, aren't they also forced by life! If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who would do such a thing!" Hearing this, even Feng Shang looked at Qiu Xie Ding in surprise and said: " When did you change, the old Qiu in the past was jealous and hateful, and there was no room for a little sand in his eyes!"
Qiu Xie Ding sat cross-legged on the raft and did not say anything more.
Many days passed in a flash, and Feng Shang and the others came to the place where the four major legions of the morning mist were frozen at noon. Feng Shang looked at the surrounding environment like ice sculptures and said, "Luo Yun, are they really here? Why have we been here for a long time, and we haven't seen a single figure!" Just as they were looking around for traces, Qiu Xie Ding found a corpse, and he shouted, "Come here!"
After Yi Muke examined the corpse, he said to the others: "This is the corpse of the Enhancement Person, and it has been dead for a long time!" Mu Ziyi frowned and said, "Sure enough, it seems that the Heavenly Silkworm Sect attacked Luo Yun and them!" Just as a few people were reasoning about what was going on, Feng Shang climbed to a high place and looked up to see a large number of dead Reinforcement People. He was stunned.
"What now?" Feng Shang asked. Qiu Xie Ding stood on a high place and carefully observed the characteristics of these strengthened human corpses, and finally he came to a conclusion. "Judging from the overall death trend of these corpses, Luo Yun and they should have fled south!" Qiu Xie Ding said. Taishi Xiaomeng said: "To."
Shouldn't that be the direction of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect's attack?Why are they still going south?" Mu Ziyi said: "What Lao Qiu said makes sense, judging from the number of corpses, the other party must be attacking on a large scale, and Luo Yun and they are weak, and there is no way out for them to blindly flee north, and there is a force to be reckoned with in the south!"
"What power?" Feng Shang asked. Mu Ziyi said: "Qin Cheng, Xiao Yue's army, Luo Yun, they must have gone there!" At this moment, Taishi Xiaomeng, who was extremely sensitive to his senses, discovered something, he lay on the ground and listened, and said to the others: "There is a group of people coming here!" Everyone immediately raised their vigilance, Mu Ziyi waved his hand, and several people hid.
After a while, Dong Tian led a military horse here, and he said to his subordinates: "Hongzhen, the guard of the capital city who needs to be moved, has already marked, don't make a mistake, remember, you must be careful when moving, if it is broken, then the person who is frozen in it is really not saved!"
Mu Ziyi and Qiu Xie Ding saw this group of people waving the flag of the Xiaoyue family's army. Qiu Xie Ding said: "They are Yue Xing's people, why did they come here?" Mu Ziyi said: "What the hell is going on, just go out and ask!" After speaking, he walked out.
The soldiers were taken aback, Dong Tian saw that someone suddenly appeared here, and he instantly became nervous, it stands to reason that no one will come here, except for them, there is only Bai Ye or the Heavenly Silkworm Sect.
"Who are you?" asked Dong Tian immediately. The soldiers immediately surrounded Mu Ziyi, and Mu Ziyi asked rhetorically, "Are you from the Xiaoyue family's army?"
Feng Shang, who was hiding, saw that Mu Ziyi was surrounded by them, and thought that Mu Ziyi had been discovered, so he rushed out without saying a word, and raised the stick and slashed towards Dong Tian. Mu Ziyi was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly swung his sword to block Feng Shang, just afraid that he would hurt Dong Tian.
"Thunderball!" "Easy Swordsmanship!"
Being stopped by Mu Ziyi was something Feng Shang didn't expect, he hurriedly retracted his strength and said, "Mu Ziyi, why are you stopping me?" Mu Ziyi said: "Don't be impulsive, they may be Yue Xing's people!"
"Yue Xing?" Feng Shang noticed their banner at this time.
Dong Tian stared at Mu Ziyi and suddenly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Tai just now is the swordsmanship of the Xiaoyao School?" Mu Ziyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know." Dong Tian said: "I heard you shouting about the free swordsmanship, so I dared to ask!"
Mu Ziyi said: "Yes, I am a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect!" Dong Tian said in surprise: "Are you Mu Ziyi?" The latter was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know my name!" Dong Tian was incoherent excitedly, and he said: "I heard them mention that Zhuge Qingyi, the commander of the Yue family's army, went out of the same sect as you, Qin Fanlin told me, and you also fought side by side with Yue Xing!"
Mu Ziyi affirmed his judgment at this time, and said: "So, you are a member of the Xiaoyue family's army?" Dong Tian bowed his hand and said: "That's right, I am a junior general of the Xiaoyue's army, and Senior Sister Mu Daxia Ling is also in our Qincheng!" Mu Ziyi heard that his senior sister was still alive, and stepped forward excitedly and said: "What are you talking about? My senior sister Zhuge Qingyi is in Qincheng? She is still alive! What the hell is going on?" When the surrounding soldiers saw Mu Ziyi suddenly stepping forward, they thought that he was going to attack Dong Tian and were about to step forward to protect Dong Tian, but the latter waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, it's your own people!"
Dong Tian said: "It's like this......"
