385. Encounter
The grain transport team moved forward slowly, and was about to reach the mouth of the valley, and the scout team that was exploring the way in front of the grain team also discovered the starry night and sent one person to interrogate them.
Although I have been subjected to similar interrogations from time to time these days, I am really a little upset, but I am reluctant to clash with the army in the starry night, so I still confess honestly as usual.
I don't know whether I believe it or not, the leading lieutenant ordered one of them to go back and tell him, and he brought his men over to keep an eye on the nearest side, telling them to stay on the side of the road and not to move, and when a few people were sent from the rear to take over, he led his men to continue to explore the road.
This section of the road at the mouth of the valley is uphill, it is not easy for the car to come immediately, and the line is long, and it took a lot of time for the carriage and horse grain to completely enter the valley, and at this time, the front team has begun to enter the first line of the sky.
One or two hundred zhang ahead, there is the narrowest section of the meridian road, called the first line of heaven.
There are many places in the world called a line of heaven, these places may be really narrow as a line, and it is a little difficult for only one person to walk alone, but this is not the case in this section of the Meridian Valley, which is about seven or eight feet wide, although it is also narrow, but there should be no problem for four or five people to go together, and the grain team and horses can still pass.
But after all, it is a suitable place for ambush and assault.
Sure enough, there was an ambush.
When the last carriage and horse of the long grain convoy entered the canyon, when the figures of dozens of soldiers behind the palace went dozens of feet deeper, when the five soldiers who were watching them in the starry night abandoned them because they thought they had nothing to do, and planned to catch up with the team, three big trees fell from the high cliff at the mouth of the valley and blocked the mouth of the valley.
The five soldiers who planned to catch up with the team and had run out of a few feet were the first to find out, but they did not panic, they did not panic, and the leader shouted "enemy attack", directly pulled out their sabers and turned around, pointing at a few people in the starry night,
The other four also followed closely and turned back, their spears pointed, and they were on combat alert.
This Xiao Wei is a master, just a voice, the voice spread far away, but although his voice is fast, the falling trees in the sky are not slow, and the movement caused is not light, and it was immediately discovered by the soldiers in front, and there is no need to think about it, it is the word "enemy attack".
In the midst of the ranks, there was a commotion.
At the same time, a rocket on the cliff soared into the sky, and in the midst of the boom, a firework exploded.
Here's the signal.
As soon as the fireworks were released, a thunderous explosion sounded in the depths of the canyon for a few breaths. The next moment, more than a dozen agile figures rushed down from the cliffs on both sides.
With the addition of unwarranted disasters, Yu Xingye felt helpless, and he was also angry in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, we are not in the same group as those people." ”
The little comfort ordered: "Kill them!"
Five people were killed with weapons.
At the moment, this situation obviously does not make sense, and it is only a fight.
"I'll come. ”
I don't want to hurt or kill people, if Ming Yuetian or the Xie family makes a move, it is inevitable that there will be no weight, and Yu Xingye will call to meet him in person.
A moment later.
The four soldiers flew out one after another in exclamation, but when they landed, they found that they were not injured, and when they got up and looked up, they saw that the commander had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Yu Xingye pinched the back of the knife, put the knife on the neck of the little comforter, and sighed: "Look, I said that we are not in the same group, right? ”
The cold blade was against his neck, and the little comfort was stiff and tense, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his face, swallowing saliva, and said with difficulty: "Since it was a misunderstanding, let me ...... go."
Youxingye said: "That's nature, oh, return your knife." ”
He shoved the handle of the knife back into the man's hand, and took two steps back to show his sincerity, reminding: "You see that the fighting over there seems to be quite fierce, the general should go quickly, and don't patronize a few of us passers-by." ”
At this moment, I saw a line of sky in the distance, and there was already green smoke billowing out.
The gang apparently did not intend to steal the grain, but set it on fire.
It is impossible for the bandits and bandits to do this, in fact, this area is close to the border, and there are Ming troops stationed at intervals, and there can be no living soil for bandits, the identities of these people are obvious, and they can only be people sent by the Zhou family to deliberately destroy.
This Xiao Wei took back the knife, looked at the faces of the few people in the starry night, hesitated for a moment, and then took a breath and said, "Let's go back and help." ”
Facing the starry night, a few people stepped back to prevent the killer from behind, and after a certain distance, they turned around and rushed towards the first line of sky.
"It's not good, there's an ambush, retreat!"
However, before they could get there, a terrible roar sounded there, and then, eight or nine men in black rushed out of the encirclement, climbed over the trees, and met the five men who had chased after them.
Those people were all martial arts masters, and Xiao Wei and the five people fell three in the blink of an eye, but only two of them paused, and they were hacked to death by several Ming army masters who followed closely in the middle of the sky, and then caught up with the others.
Three of them panicked, and instead of hiding on the cliffs on both sides, they ran towards the main road towards the side of the starry night.
Before he got close, the first one shouted: "Senior sister, hurry up and stop these thieves!"
Yu Xingye touched his smooth chin, and when a few people approached, Bi fell out of the sheath and returned to the sheath in an instant, the sound was like a thunderbolt, the smoke and dust rose suddenly, the ground outside the abbot was slashed, a deep sword mark appeared, and a wisp of residual energy surged forward.
The three were forced to stop.
Youxingye said: "This road is not passable. ”
The person who spoke out was furious: "Senior sister, you, what are you doing?"
There were four masters of the Ming army in the rear to catch up, without saying a word, they raised their swords and killed, and the three grain burners could only meet them, but they fell into the downwind in the blink of an eye, these people, majestic, are actually first-class masters.
There were other Ming soldiers in the rear who chased after them and quickly surrounded the place.
In the middle of the attack, it was still that person, who shouted: "Senior sister, junior brother, what are you still watching? If we can't go back, Master will never spare you, so let's kill the thief with us." ”
You Xingye rolled her eyes, really helpless.
However, I also admired this person's eagerness and desire to survive, and at this time he did not forget to pull them into the water so that he could take the opportunity to escape.
But after all, there is no power to return to the sky.
Until he fell, the person who spoke was still staring at the people in the starry night, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.
After solving the offending enemy, several Ming army masters set their eyes on the starry night.
You Xingye hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, we are just passing by, we are definitely not accomplices, you all saw it just now, and I also helped stop a few of them." ”
One said: "If it's not an accomplice, why do you call you junior sister and junior brother?"
Kicked and kept shouting to recognize the man's body.
Yu Xingye said: "Obviously, you want to use us to stop you, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape, don't be fooled, general." ”
The man was noncommittal, frowning and thinking, probably wondering whether to do it.
A person next to him stared at them with blazing eyes and sneered: "Maybe it's a bitter trick that can't be done." Turning his head to the person who spoke before, he proposed: "Lao Li, it's better to take it down first and bring it back for torture." ”
The soldier who called Lao Li glanced at him and secretly scolded the blind man who had a brain in his heart, he had no brains, and he couldn't see such a big trace on the ground? Pointing to a soldier surrounding the periphery, he ordered, "You, go and inform the commander of the situation here." ”
Then he looked at the people of Youxingye and warned: "Before Commander Zhu comes, please wait here for a while, don't act rashly." ”
You Xingye smiled: "That's nature. ”
The chicken stealer lost a handful of rice, and the fire failed to destroy his own life, apparently the Ming army that transported the grain had already prepared, and placed a lot of masters in the team, and responded quickly, specifically for these sneak attackers, today's sneak attack can be described as anticlimactic.
After watching a lively scene that came and went quickly, the starry night didn't care about seeing their commander, and was not worried about whether he would be considered an accomplice of the sneak attacker.
Even if the identities of Huashan disciples and Xie family swordsmen have no face in front of the big head soldiers, it is great to take out the military envoy token of the Protector Villa, if you don't recognize the rivers and lakes, you have to recognize the Protector Villa, right?
