Just when Meng Ran and the others were resting in the city, the strong man named Lao San had quietly left the horse market, accompanied by three followers.

A group of four people rode horses and galloped in the direction of the north gate.

"Third master, why do you go to the north gate? Isn't it good to go directly to the east gate?" The person who spoke had a scar on his face, which hung obliquely on his cheek, adding a bit of bravery.

The strong man who called the third child snorted lightly, "If you go to the east gate, if you meet that fat sheep, won't you startle the snake?"

The scar man nodded in praise, "It's still the third master who is smart." ”

The third child looked smug when he heard the compliment.

At this moment, a weak voice came, "How can the third master conclude that the fat sheep is going north? What if we run wrong?"

The third child smiled at each other and looked back at the questioner.

The person who speaks is called a stone, and the person is as stupid as a stone, although he has a lot of strength, his martial arts are very loose. If it weren't for his brother who saved Lao Sanyi's life, I am afraid that he would have been driven out of the horse market and lived on the streets.

However, although this stone lacks a string in his head, he is an unusually diligent man, and he is busy in the horse market every day, never stopping, serving the silent cattle and serving the people part-time.

So the big guy only laughed at him occasionally and didn't bully him, so I took him with me on this trip.

Maybe the ride was a little boring, or in order to ease the atmosphere, the third child made a look and motioned to Scar to explain the reason.

Scar bowed his head slightly, and said: "Although the two of them only said a few words, but it is obviously the accent of Hangzhou Mansion, this season, since we have come to Deqing County, and we want to buy horses, we must continue to go north, and from Deqing County to the north, there are only two roads, either to Qianyuan Town, or to Luoshe Town, we only need to guard in the northeast direction of the city, we can determine their route." ”

Shi scratched the shaggy hair on the top of his head and continued to ask, "What does buying a horse have to do with going north?"

"If they are on the way back, it is naturally comfortable and convenient to hire a carriage for such a short distance, so why buy a horse?"

The stone suddenly realized, and he looked like he had finally opened his mind, which made the three of them laugh, and he didn't think he was annoyed, and laughed with him.

Within a single cup of tea, the four of them went out of the city gate, first poured a stomach full of water on the tea stall outside the city gate, and then continued north.

When the four of them disappeared from sight at the city gate of Deqing County, they gently knocked the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and walked around to the east. There were almost no other roads outside the city except post roads, and the four of them rode horses and galloped through the sparse woods.

After running for a while, they stopped where they could see both the North and East gates, dismounted and hid in the woods to observe themselves.

After I don't know how long, when the four of them were a little tired of waiting, two figures appeared at the gate of the east city, one old and one young.

Under the boy's crotch was a good and docile Northland pony with a long knife hanging from the saddle, and beside him was a middle-aged man in a strong suit, riding a green horse, and also carrying a long knife at his waist with a new scabbard.

The third child snorted, "Pay attention, the fat sheep appeared, and they all cheered up." If anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for being rude. ”

The other three whispered.

When Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan got on the post road to Qianyuan Town, the four people hiding in the woods glanced at each other, got on their horses and galloped, intending to ambush on the road to Qianyuan Town.

Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan rode on horseback, talking and laughing along the way, and they were not in a hurry, but they were anxious enough to choke the four people who were ambushed in the woods.

But no matter how slow you go, there will always be a time to meet.

The two of them walked slowly along the post road, and had barely gone far into a wooded road, when they heard a cacophony in the dense forest, the muffled sound of horses' hooves on the grass, and the murmur of weapons on tree trunks.

Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan glanced at each other, pulled out their long knives one after another, and squinted at them.

The eyelids that greeted the two of them were four knights, the same people they had seen in the horse market before, they didn't even bother to do something as simple as covering their faces, they just sat on their horses with cold faces, their weapons tightly in their hands.

The two sides looked at each other for a while, and the four people slowly dismounted and walked towards Meng Ran and them.

Geng Huyuan also turned over and dismounted, holding a long knife in his hand, and put on a defensive posture in place.

Meng Ran did the same, and also dismounted and stood on the road, holding a single knife across his chest.

There was no superfluous conversation, no shouting before the move, and the two sides quickly intertwined, and the sound of weapons clashing between weapons rang out in the air.

It was the third child and Scar who fought against Geng Huyuan, and as for Meng Ran's opponent, it was naturally Shi and the person who didn't speak along the way.

Meng Ran's knife skills are derived from the guidance of masters, coupled with diligent practice on weekdays, although he rarely fights with others, but he is also powerful, and his hands have been dyed with human life, so there is a big difference between him and when he first came out of Lin'an.

I saw him wielding a single knife, the momentum was fast and fast, and soon the two stones fell into disadvantage.

Meng Ran didn't take it lightly, but he attacked faster and faster, slashing through with a knife, bringing gusts of wind, and with a flash of cold light, he slashed the person who had never spoken to the ground.

After he succeeded with a single sword, he swung a single knife and slashed horizontally and vertically, and in a few blows, he struck the shoulder of the stone, and the knife in the stone's hand flew away from the palm of his hand and fell under the soles of his feet.

Seeing this, Meng Ran slowly stopped and prepared to step forward to help Geng Nursing Hospital.

At this time, Geng Huyuan and the two of them had fallen into a stalemate, there were contacts and contacts, and the sword light was constantly swaying.

Meng Ran had just taken a few steps before he was hugged from behind, and the back of his head was also hit hard, and he couldn't help screaming.

"Ah......h

After this sound, Geng Huyuan hurriedly turned around to look, but he showed his flaws, and was seized by the two of them, slashing at his body, and blood flowed everywhere.

"Young Master, be careful. ”

Geng Huyuan condensed, and continued to fight with the third child and Scar, and for a while, the sword was light and bloody.

Meng Ran was only attacked in an instant, and after he recovered his mood, an over-the-shoulder fall threw the stone behind him on the hard post road, and he was very angry and angry.

could have gone smoothly to help Geng Huyuan and prove his ability, but because of his soft-heartedness, others were stabbed.

Annoyed, he showed no mercy in his hand, and after biting his lip hard, he clenched the single knife in his right hand, and with just a slight wave, he cut the windpipe of the stone, and the red blood flowed down his neck to the road, and a faint gurgling sound could be heard.

Meng Ran looked at the blood stains remaining on the blade, which were slowly dripping, like beads with broken threads, falling to the ground one by one.

He forcibly suppressed the feeling of boredom in his chest, took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the hilt, and walked towards the fighting figure.

The three people who were fighting had already noticed everything here, and for Geng Huyuan, they were quite looking forward to it, and they were very happy, and with one more person joining, they could naturally solve the two roadblocks as soon as possible.

The two men in Ma Shi secretly complained in their hearts, cursing the two companions who had fallen to the ground, while thinking about how to get out.

Meng Ran looked at the bloodstains on Geng Huyuan's body, and secretly hated in his heart, he swung his knife forward and slashed at the scar.

The already slashed mess is now even more lively.

With Meng Ran's joining, Geng Huyuan, who was already on a par with the two of them, was even more courageous, and the sword light was denser, like the moonlight on an autumn night.

After Meng Ran slashed more than a dozen knives one after another, a sword light appeared, cutting off one of Scar's arms, and in an instant, blood splattered, sprinkling Meng Ran's face.

After less than a breath, I heard a muffled sound, and it was the arm that hit the ground.

At this time, the two of them had already retreated, and they were wielding their long knives while retreating.

Geng Huyuan and Meng Ran did not intend to let them go, and fought and chased.

At this moment, something happened that no one could have imagined.

Scar, who had been standing side by side with the third child, didn't know when he took a step back, standing behind the side of the third child, he tried his best to make a palm, beat the unprepared third child, and staggered towards the direction of Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan, Scar took advantage of this opportunity to turn over and get on the horse, and within a moment, he had already escaped from a distance of dozens of meters.

The third child who rushed forward was stabbed in the heart by Geng Huyuan, and he couldn't die anymore.

Meng Ran looked at Geng Huyuan and asked softly, "Uncle Geng, are you chasing?"

"Of course I chased it, and killed this shit. ”

Saying that, Geng Huyuan was not in a hurry to bandage the wound, but got on the horse with Meng Ran and chased in the direction where Scar had fled.

After running for less than half a cup of tea, the two of them had already seen the scar who had fainted on the side of the road, and they saw that his face was pale, thinking that he had lost too much blood, and he was about to die.

Geng Huyuan motioned to Meng Ran to continue his journey and not to stop.

"Uncle Geng, don't you ask him who is going to kill us?"

"Does it matter?"

Meng Ran thought about it, then shook his head and said, "It's not important. ”

"That's it, what's the matter, let's leave quickly, if it's seen by others, it's impossible to tell anymore. ”

"We are forced to defend ourselves, what is there that we can't say?"

Geng Huyuan shook his head slightly, "Have you forgotten about Qingshan Town? ”

Meng Ran naturally remembered everything that happened in Qingshan Town, and also remembered the fact that Lao Song died tragically in front of his eyes, so he stopped talking, but just drove his horse to follow Geng Huyuan all the way.

The two of them walked along the post road for a while, and then turned into the woods.

After finding a creek, Meng Ran first helped Geng Huyuan to carry out a simple cleaning, then applied some gold creation medicine, and carried out a simple bandage.

The two of them rested for a while, drank some water, and then continued on their way.

At this time, the opinions of the two were a little different, Meng Ran meant to go to the Qianyuan Town in front to take a rest, and by the way, find a doctor for Geng Huyuan to take a look.

Geng Huyuan didn't think so, he felt that the two of them had just killed someone on the post road, and entering the town with injuries at this time would be tantamount to throwing themselves into a net, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that no one knew about the situation here and hurry up.

The two argued, and finally Meng Ran chose to trust Geng Huyuan's judgment and decided not to enter Qianyuan Town, but to make a detour to Moliang Mountain, and then cross Maoshan and go straight to the new town.
