Chapter 167: Wandering Arrow, It's Really Dangerous
The starry sky at night is extremely beautiful, but the bright moon in the sky has changed many times in Xu Changan's eyes, and has gone through several twists and turns.
From the beginning of the seaside, he would be fearless as long as he looked at it, and then he muttered and complained about the grass on the wall in the city, and now Xu Changan raised his head and found that it was really beautiful.
Naturally, the moon can't fall from the clouds, so those doubts are no longer too entangled, just as if they have seen something bad.
On the way out of Ancheng, he didn't go fast, but he kept walking.
Although the official road is relatively open, the road is always farther away, and only when he is afraid of getting lost at night will he choose the route that the owner of the braised pork sold told him.
I glanced up, calculating that the sky would be bright in about an hour or two, and I thought that the red sun would be bright tomorrow, and I always felt that it was not enough for a bowl of braised pork to be tempting.
It seemed that he had already felt the scorching heat in the day in advance, and Xu Changan couldn't help but pick up the water bladder he carried with him and pour water into his mouth.
Then he raised his sleeve and wiped his lips, and he began to run in the night, since he was able to practice, he didn't know how fast he could run, and he didn't know where the limit was.
He used to be too tired to get up when he went to that city yesterday, but now that he was about to walk for nearly a day and a night, he found that he could not only continue walking, but even run...
Although he could already practice on that building, he could sweat from the heat when he stood under the sun in broad daylight, and he would not raise his legs and run wildly even if he wanted to know how strong he was now.
Only once when he fought against the guard outside the city of Yingdu, he felt that his speed had already increased, but at that time there was no time for him to feel it carefully, and he only knew it after the battle.
And now, when he was running in the night, he suddenly thought of the rabbit.
With the breeze blowing in his ears, his speed is indeed much faster, if he can use anything to measure and describe, Xu Changan feels that the most appropriate analogy should be the animal he was thinking about just now.
But this kind of thought was only in the previous moment, not that he had a more appropriate description in the next moment, but it was too late to think about it.
Because a very uncomfortable feeling appeared in his eyes, this feeling would appear every time he faced danger, such as before the battle with Lin Ying, and outside the Yingdu City.
It wasn't instinctive vigilance that reminded him that he hadn't experienced many battles, and he wasn't as sensitive to danger as Lin Ying.
The discomfort was just in his eyes, his eyes had always looked far away, and the previous discomfort came from his eyes seeing the tip of the gun flashing by Lin Ying, and also seeing the guard's action of lifting the gun.
And this time, he knew it wasn't a gun.
In the moonlight he saw a little light, not fleeting, but gradually enlarged, with the purpose of not filling his eyes and refusing to give up began to spread in his pupils.
He was sure it wasn't a bug, there was no bug in the world that could reach that speed.
If there was, it must have been tied to a feathered arrow and shot with a bow full in his hand.
That's right, it's a feathered arrow coming at you!
Xu Changan has no instinctive vigilance against the danger that is coming, but human beings will react most instinctively when faced with danger.
or muscle twitching, or trembling, but Xu Changan's instinctive reaction was not these.
Since he got the black sword in his hand last fall, his instinctive reaction to danger has begun to change to swinging the sword.
Almost at the moment when the feather arrow arrived, a black sword body blocked the center of Xu Changan's eyebrows.
The tip of the sword is facing upwards, and it is bladeless and unsheathed.
It doesn't seem lethal, but it is, because the sword isn't meant to kill.
From here to the north, there is a spiritual academy in the capital about a thousand miles away, and last autumn, a gentleman walked out of this academy with a long black box on his back, and went south to the Sifang City thousands of miles away, and gave Xu Changan this sword, since then the gentleman's original intention was not to hope that Xu Changan would use this sword to kill people.
Teaching students to kill is not a way to learn.
This sword is not used to kill, but when it is erected, it seems to be able to block everything that is about to come for him, such as the moonlight above his head, such as the pinprick feeling that brought Xu Changan very uncomfortable from the front a moment ago, and then the sharp arrow.
There was a crisp sound of 'dang', and the feathered arrow that terrified the cavalry on the battlefield seemed to hit the iron wall.
If the person who shot this arrow was in front of Xu Changan, he might be able to clearly see that the position of the arrow was being squeezed and smoothed at a speed that could be checked by the naked eye, and then it fell straight to the ground like an eagle that had lost its wings, with unwillingness.
Xu Changan couldn't see this, he could only feel, he felt the unyielding buzzing vibration of the black sword, and he felt the numbness of his fingers being shaken by those vibrations.
He didn't have time to think about why a feathered arrow appeared, and where the enemy was the most obvious question.
Holding the black sword with both hands, his knees sinking slightly, carefully observing the movements around him.
It seems that running away immediately should be the most necessary reaction in the event of an accident, but it is rash until you are sure how many enemies there are.
Although Xu Changan has never read a book of war and studied the art of war, he is very good at empathy.
Although I don't know if someone wants to kill him, if he wants to kill Bi Siqian, then he must be fully prepared to prevent the other party from escaping.
So at this moment, he felt a great crisis, and the delicate throat that had not yet given birth to the Adam's apple rolled up and down, unable to withstand the slight gabbling of the feather arrow.
That's why he's so careful not to make a mistake he shouldn't have made in the slightest.
Making a mistake means that the odds of survival will be 10% smaller, just like the money in the package, he doesn't want to lose any of it.
But when he was ready, he found that there seemed to be only one feathered arrow, and there was no imaginary rain of arrows flying to shoot him into a sieve, and there were no enemies swarmed up and waving their knives, and the scene became very calm.
It was so quiet that he could clearly hear all other sounds, such as the annoying chirping of mosquitoes, to the screams of horses and the neighing of horses and carts not far ahead.
He can still see.
He saw a fire light up in front of him at a very fast speed, the fire was not large, and he thought it was just for lighting.
It was only at this time that Xu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was not killing himself, he thought that the flying feather arrow was just a stray arrow.
But as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately scolded in his heart, because the chariot and horse were running towards him in the process of escaping for his life.
Why? When I can't see the figures clearly in the moonlight, I say that I am not in the same group as them, do you believe it?
Even if they did, the arrow would not have long eyes.
Xu Changan is also fleeing now, and he is not fleeing either.
Don't look at this kind of thing, Xu Changan has never been in the barracks, but he also knows that ordinary people can't hold it, and it's impossible for him to use a hoe or something to grind into an arrow.
That can only be produced in large quantities under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, as long as it is related to the imperial court, it is not easy to provoke, and if it can be avoided, it will be avoided, not to mention the people who the imperial court is going to kill now.
But now there is no way to avoid it, because the carriages with the feathered arrows chasing behind them have already come.
Just when Xu Changan didn't know what to do, a carriage at the front seemed to be aware of his presence, and a voice came from the car: "Get in the car!"
Xu Changan was slightly stunned, and got into the car? What is the difference between this and waiting to die on the spot?
There is still a difference, waiting for death in place will die immediately, but no one can say what will happen after getting in the car.
And he actually felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
In fact, Xu Changan didn't have time to think about anything, because those carriages were running for their lives, so naturally they wouldn't stop where they were and wait for themselves to think about whether to get on the car, so when the carriage passed by him, Xu Changan knew that his chance was only for this moment, and what he missed was the feather arrows that whistled like a cold wind.
Seeing the opportunity, he grabbed the carriage with both hands, gritted his teeth and jumped up.
didn't have time to talk to the person in the carriage, but immediately took the stool in the other party's hand, and leaned down to the lowest in the carriage, holding it tightly with both hands, blocking the position at the entrance of the carriage.
Then the sound of feather arrows piercing deep into the stool proved that he was absolutely right, otherwise the feathered arrows would have been shot at him.
Xu Changan was a little helpless, because he had no choice but to get in the car.
Holding the stool in hand, you can still hear the screams around you from time to time, and the sound of someone falling heavily in the carriage.
A layer of cold sweat oozed from Xu Changan's forehead.
On this day, he heard the sound of three kinds of arrows, one was the crisp sound of the arrow hitting his iron sword, perhaps his iron sword blocked the sound of the arrow, the other was the muffled sound of the arrow hitting the stool he was holding, and the other was very small, like the swim bladder of a fish being stabbed with a knife when he slaughtered a fish.
The feathered arrows that fell diagonally from the sky and the real screams around him told him that it was a real game.
Although he encountered a lot of dangers on the way to Wangshu Tower, except for the one in Sifang City, Xu Changan actually rarely had a time when he was really in danger, because there were always people beside him.
In front of the mouth of the cave in the Chu State, he had seen a round of arrow rain that was much denser than this, but it was not dangerous at that time, even if Yan Weichu had never made a sword Yang Hejiu would also use a sword, he only needed to hold Yang Hejiu's black long box with both hands and hide behind everyone.
Although Yang Hejiu was no longer in the prison robbery of the Chu State, he still had partners, and they discussed a good plan, and then the perfection of Dasi Nong was able to escape from the bag of the soldier with a spear.
And this time, there seems to be someone behind me this time...
Thinking of this, Xu Changan couldn't help but say angrily: "Who are you?"
Isn't it, running on the road with a stray arrow that almost shot himself, needless to say, and was forced to get into this thief car, where can you escape, you have to flee to Lao Tzu?
Although I don't know if it's life or death, who wants to be involved in danger like this? So Xu Chang'an is definitely not angry with the person behind him.
