Chapter 272: The Snake Is Hard to Get Out of the Cave (2)
Ouyang Han and Wen Yongjie were still the same as before, riding horses in front, and Mi Fang, Yu Tong, and Yu Hai continued to catch up. In more than two days, their journey was about 500 miles, which is not fast, but it is not slow.
At noon on this day, they walked to a dense forest, and Ouyang Han and Wen Yongjie's vigilance was extremely high. Because this dense forest is full of thick trees, the terrain extends from the middle road to the high places on both sides, which is most suitable for ambush warfare.
"As long as we pass through this dense forest, our task will be half completed!" Wen Yongjie looked up, the branches of the big trees that covered the sky stretched out, intertwined with each other, and they were evergreen trees, covering the scorching sun on the horizon, and only a few rays of sunlight could penetrate through the intertwined gaps and shoot into the forest, so that the woods here were not only a little dark, but also exuding a coolness.
Ouyang Han nodded and said: "Out of here, all the way to the north is a broad road, if necessary, we can also use the power of the local government, even if those thieves are bold, they will not come nonsense!"
Wen Yongjie said: "When we return to Beijing this time, we must not rely on the power of the government, otherwise the adults are really dangerous!"
"Why?" Ouyang Han's thinking didn't turn as fast as Wen Yongjie's.
Wen Yongjie said: "You haven't thought that maybe the one who wants to harm the adults is the people in the court?"
When Ouyang Han heard this, he nodded and said, "What Wen Zhutou said makes some sense!"
As soon as Ouyang Han finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound from the forest, and both of them only felt that a strong wind was coming from the side, and their faces changed drastically, and at that moment, the whip waved, and the horse drove more than half a foot away, and a horse Cheng in front of Yu Tong also followed the two of them for a ride. It's just that the carriage in the middle was not so lucky, it had been smashed into pieces by a large iron vertebrae, and even the horse pulling the cart had fallen to the ground and lost its life. As for Yu Hai, who was driving the car, he had already jumped away and was not injured at all.
Wen Yongjie and Ouyang Han both had a numb scalp, but fortunately there was no one in the carriage in the middle, otherwise, no matter how high their martial arts were, under this blow, there was no possibility of survival. Before the two of them could come to their senses, a shout of killing suddenly came from the forest.
Ouyang Han and Wen Yongjie jumped off the horse at the same time, and each of them guarded the corner of the horse with Yu Tong and Yu Hai.
In the blink of an eye, the people in the forest had already rushed to the road and started a fight with Wen Yongjie and Ouyang Han. Ouyang Han waved his long knife at this time, and the people in the future were forced to retreat one after another. Wen Yongjie was killed in the crowd, and where the long sword passed, there were either dead people or injured people.
High in the forest, Leng Qian stood with a fat man. The fat man looked at the fight below, and there was not much expression on his face, but he said, "It seems that Kou Zhun is not in the second carriage!"
"Then in your opinion, will he be in the front, or behind?" Leng Qian asked.
The fat man said: "This Wen Yongjie's martial arts are not very good, but his brain is spinning very fast, with his thinking, I am afraid that the car behind this may be bigger!"
Leng Qian nodded and said: "Yes, we failed last time, because the people who drove the car behind us, with Wen Yongjie's cautious nature, only letting Kou Zhun sit in the back is a safe way." ”
"Hmph, then why don't you plan to destroy the carriage in the back, but in the middle?" said the fat man.
Leng Qian said lightly: "We are all guessing, but we think that the possibility in the middle is greater, if not, how can we blame you and me?"
The fat man nodded: "Okay, then you go and deal with the chauffeur, and I'll handle the carriage!"
Leng Qian said: "It's easy to say!"
After the two discussed, they rushed towards the car that Mi Fang was driving. Mi Fang jumped up directly and fought with Leng Qian. The fat man's mountain-like body jumped up, and the two sledgehammers in his hands smashed into the carriage. It's just that he didn't see the carriage falling apart, on the contrary, an invisible force diffused from the carriage, and his pair of sledgehammers were instantly bounced back. His body was swept away like a leather ball, hitting a large tree, and there was a sullen breath in his chest, and blood spat out.
"My carriage is very expensive, how can I pay if it is broken?" Shen Guhong walked out of the carriage. The fat man and Leng Qian were both surprised, because they didn't know Shen Guhong at all.
"Who are you?" The fat man suffered a big loss with just one blow, and he knew that Shen Guhong's martial arts were much higher than him
Shen Guhong said: "I am me, I am not anyone!"
When the fat man heard this, his complexion changed a few times, but he had never been a person who was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have come to assassinate Kou Zhun to seize the exquisite treasure box. Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, his hands drooped and moved again, the wind rolled up, and the flowers and plants in the four directions had been destroyed to the point that they were not formed, even those big trees that were thick and thick, and the bark of the trunk and old trees had been peeled off.
Shen Guhong's face remained unchanged, and he didn't mean to make a move, but just took a step towards the raging wind. It was this step, but it made the wind that had been rolled back backwards, and the fat man let out a scream this time, and then his body was lifted out again, and he could not get up again after smashing on the ground.
Leng Qian is fighting with Mi Fang, he knows about the fat man's martial arts, but he has not gone through two moves in Shen Guhong's hands. There was already an endless chill in his heart, and he was not paying attention, but he was swept away by Mi Fang's palm, and he was directly thrown out.
"Say, who asked you to come?" Shen Guhong walked towards the fat man, every step out, there was an amazing momentum, the fat man felt like he was pressed by a mountain, Shen Guhong took every step closer, the strength of the mountain doubled, and when Shen Guhong took the fifth step, he couldn't stand it anymore, and directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Shen Guhong knew that a person like a fat man, even if he killed him, it would be impossible to get anything useful in his mouth, so he sighed at the moment and said, "You go, go as far as possible, otherwise your master will not let you go!"
When the fat man heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he was not sure if Shen Guhong would really let her go, but in their line of work, if the mission failed, there was indeed only one way to go back. He got up with difficulty and said, "I'm just a killer, as for who the customer is, this is our rule, we can't say it!"
Shen Guhong nodded: "Let's go!"
Leng Qian, who was not far away, was pretending to be dead, Shen Guhong came to Mi Fang's side and said, "Next, you rest, I'll catch the car!"
Mi Fang nodded, she was indeed a little tired in the past few days. Now that Shen Guhong's has already made a move, it is useless to continue acting.
"Huh, that Leng Qian is gone!" Mi Fang looked back, and Leng Qian, who was lying on the ground, didn't know when he left.
Shen Guhong said: "It's okay, walking through this forest, they can only arrange some more people, if we can't beat them, it's useless!"
Wen Yongjie and the four of them also ended the battle, and the next group set off again, and in less than half a day, they came to another town.
"In a few days' journey, we will be able to reach Bianjing!" Wen Yongjie said. Walking to this town, everyone was obviously relieved.
Shen Guhong jumped out of the carriage and said, "It's not safe here, we don't have many people after all." ”
Wen Yongjie said: "Yes, the people behind this must not be simple, maybe this is the most dangerous!"
Ouyang Han, Yu Tong, and Yu Hai listened to Wen Yongjie's words, and their expressions were more solemn.
"No matter, it's getting late, let's find an inn to stay in first! Then have a good meal, get a good night's sleep, and set off tomorrow!" Shen Guhong said.
Wen Yongjie said: "It's okay to eat some good things, but if you want to sleep well, I'm afraid it's not okay!"
Shen Guhong smiled: "You are so nervous, if you are seen by the group of turtle grandchildren in the secret, you will probably be happy on the side!"
Wen Yongjie was reminded by Shen Guhong and said with a smile: "Brother Shen is still higher!"
Kou Zhun also got out of the carriage at this time and said, "Gu Hong is right, we should eat, drink, nourish our spirits, and move on!"
After sitting in the carriage for a few days, Kou Zhun also felt that it was extremely difficult, and he walked side by side with Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie. Mi Fang, Yu Tong, and Yu Hai continued to catch the car, while Ouyang Han rode in front, his eyes looked at everyone who came and went extremely carefully, because his temperament was different from Wen Yongjie and Shen Guhong. Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie could relax themselves instantly, but he couldn't do it in this situation.
"How can there be a Ping'an Inn here?" Yu Tong looked sideways, but saw that there was an inn on the side of the street, and the words "Ping'an Inn" were written on it.
Wen Yongjie said: "Ping An Inn is just a name taken by others, no need to make a fuss!"
It wasn't that Yu Tong made a fuss, but he was shocked when he knew that the Ping An Inn in that mountain town was not safe.
"No matter what, let's not stay at this inn!" Yu Tong said.
Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with different colors. Wen Yongjie said: "Let's stay in this Ping An Inn tonight!"
"This ······" Yu Tong really didn't know what to say at the moment.
It's not a big town, but it also has a bit of a bustling atmosphere. Shen Guhong and the others asked for the table of wine and food, and after eating, it was close to the end of the day. After such a long journey, everyone was tired, so they all rested early.
Outside the town, another river, a tributary of the Huai Shui, was rowed in the dead of night, but a small boat rowed on the river. Where the boat landed, a white-clothed boy came out of it, if Shen Guhong was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this white-clothed boy was none other than Bai Zhiyang, the second prince in the world.
Bai Zhiyang came ashore, and a group of people came out of the alley near the river.
"I've seen Bai Gongzi!" The leader took the lead in saluting, and the rest of the people also saluted. Bai Zhiyang said: "No need to be polite, you continue to do your business, this time you are here to meet an old man!"
"I don't know who Bai Gongzi is, but I don't know if I can help a little?"
Bai Zhiyang waved his hand and said, "No need, thank you!"
Bai Zhiyang's voice was still echoing in everyone's ears, but his people didn't know when they had left. Everyone was stunned at this time, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Bai Zhiyang is stronger than before!" At this time, a black shadow did not know when it came to everyone again. When these people saw this figure, they all knelt down and said, "I've seen the master!"
"Alright, get up!" said the shadow, waving his hand.
After everyone got up, the black shadow looked at Leng Qian in the crowd and said, "You failed this mission, and you dare to come back?"
When Leng Qian heard this, he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt on the ground again: "Master spare your life, please give your subordinates a chance to make meritorious contributions!"
"Say, where are they now?" the dark shadow's voice was majestic. Leng Qian hurriedly returned: "If you go back to your master, they are now in the Ping'an Inn in this town!"
When the black shadow heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "They must have known that there was something wrong with this Ping An Inn, but they still lived in it." Hmph, outside the game, it depends on who is dead and who is alive!"
"Please instruct the master, what should the subordinates do?" Leng Qian said.
"You go to the front road to set up, and as for the things in the inn, leave it alone!" said the black shadow, and dismissed the group. At the moment, it was pitch black between the heavens and the earth, and this black shadow seemed to be a part of the night, and he looked at the direction in which Bai Zhiyang left, and there was a flash of color in his eyes.
