Chapter 229: Half-way interception

Jixianfu City is located at the junction of the terrain, the east of the city is plain, and the north of the city is a low hill that stretches for thirty or forty miles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

An official road several zhang wide, from the gate of the north city, leads straight to dozens of miles away, connects with the trail of the mountain pass, with gravel as the bottom, it seems to have been for some years, under the long-term pressure of the horseshoe wheels, it is already a little dilapidated.

Although the sunset has not yet set, there is no trace of pedestrians on the official road at this moment, and it seems to have merged with the wilderness on both sides, silent.

In a reed swing more than ten miles away from the city wall, two figures could be faintly seen bending down and hiding on the side close to the official road, staring at the south without saying a word, and did not see the slightest movement for a long time.

The two men looked about the same age, forty or fifty years old, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, wearing gray hats, and honest faces, if it were not for the thick calluses at the tiger's mouth, anyone would only regard them as ordinary country farmers.

I don't know how long it took, when a gust of wind rose in the reeds and blew past the two of them, one of the people on the left couldn't bear it after all, looked up at the sky, and said with some displeasure: "It's almost an hour, why haven't they come over yet?"

"Hmph, what are you anxious about, there are still three hours before the time set by the altar master, there is no need to be so nervous, besides, this retreat, the altar master has given a death order, and all the holy relics must be brought out. One of the people on the right side had a huge black mole on his cheek, and he said with some disapproval: "With Wang Laosan and their little manpower, it would be good to be able to gather the holy relics and take them out of the city before dark, what else can they hope for?"

"Also, the stakes are high, it's better to be safe, in case something goes wrong, I won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

The person on the left has a round face, and at this moment a wisp of helplessness appeared on it, and he sighed: "I don't know what kind of madness the altar master is, we have to transfer all the holy relics out in half a day, this is the mansion, Taiqingguan that old thing is sitting in it, if the news leaks, it will be difficult for Wang Laosan and them to escape." ”

"This is what you don't know, the reason why the altar master and they are in a hurry to withdraw the holy relics is also a last resort, after all, the movement in the city in the past two days is not small. When the black mole man heard this, he shook his head and said with an unfathomable look.

"Oh, is there such a thing? The round-faced man looked a little curious.

"Well, although your rank in the altar is a little lower than mine, but at this time, it is not a big deal to let you know. After the black mole man pondered for a while, he said softly: "According to the news that came yesterday, the Taiqing Taoist Temple has invited a group of helpers from the Xianmen above, and the number of people is far more than the last time. ”

"Another immortal cultivator is coming?"

The round-faced man's complexion changed, and after a trace of fear flashed on his face subconsciously, a trace of red light suddenly flashed inexplicably in his eyes, and then he became bold and sneered: "What are you afraid of, as long as you survive this period of time, when the altar master and his old man launch the Blood Moon Dafa, even if he is an immortal cultivator, it is nothing, and he can destroy our Blood Demon Altar in one go?"

"Hehe, what my brother said is right, when the Blood Moon Dafa is completed and the altar master is out of the customs, it is natural to see the gods and kill the gods, and when the time comes, he will dominate the entire Jiazhou, even if it is the emperor Lao'er, who will dare to bully me?"

The round-faced man nodded, and was about to say something, when his expression suddenly moved, and he pressed his right ear to the ground, and his eyes looked towards the official road to the south.

After a while, he raised his head, frowned, and said: "I heard the sound of horses' hooves, but the movement doesn't seem to be quite right, the ground shook like a mountain cracking, and there were at least hundreds of people and horses driving here five miles away, Wang Laosan and they didn't have so many people." ”

"Hundreds?"

The black mole man's eyes shrank suddenly, and after looking at the south, his right hand suddenly flipped over, the cold light flashed, and a two-foot-long hidden blade was held in his hand, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Laosan, they should have missed, ready to respond!"

Hearing this, the round-faced man shook his sleeve robe without hesitation, and also took out a cold hidden blade from it.

Immediately, I saw the two of them put down the hats on their heads, and prostrate motionlessly, staring at the south with all their attention.

Before he could wait long, a violent sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from far and near, like a storm, and exploded in his ears.

"It's coming!"

The black mole man stared at him and shouted, and the whole person suddenly collapsed tightly like a bow and arrow ready to be fired, and the round-faced man on the side also looked solemn, holding a sword in his hand, looking like he was about to shoot at any time.

The neighing of horses boiled, and bursts of dust rose on the official road, and first more than a dozen figures rode horses and galloped over, and from time to time someone looked back, their faces were full of fear, as if someone was chasing after them.

Seeing this scene, the two people in the reed swing did not move, but swept their eyes over the people in front of them and condensed them in the distance.

In just a few breaths, seventy or eighty knights in armor chased after them, and in the dust, they were getting closer and closer to the dozen or so people in front of them.

............

Hiroshizu!

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the team in front, a handsome young man in bright light armor led by the knights had a happy face, and slapped the horse's back with both hands, and jumped up in the neighing sound of the horse under the crotch, and immediately pulled out the sword at his waist.

The man who fell behind looked like he was in his sixties, his physique was weak, and he was almost falling behind all the way, and when he was gritting his teeth and preparing to keep up, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind behind his head, and when he subconsciously looked back, he just saw a cold light like the moon slashing straight down, coming towards his head!

This made the old man instantly turn pale with fright, and he froze in place in horror and couldn't move!

"It's now, up!"

Seeing this scene, a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the black mole man, and he suddenly shouted!

Immediately, he saw that he was on tiptoe, leaving a few gray afterimages, and then swept away at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and almost in a few flashes, the figure appeared in front of the handsome young man.

And at this moment, the handsome young man's sword just fell a few inches in front of the old man's door, but when he heard a soft sound of "clanging", the cold light was staggered, and a hidden blade was inserted from the oblique thorn at a strange angle, and the blade flew out!
