Chapter 67: Suddenly
Yunmo Shuangqi has been a legend on the chivalrous road around Luoyang in recent years. Even the Sword Sea Pavilion, which was not very famous, became the righteous leader around Luoyang because of them.
Originally, the two of them were not in Luoyang, and they didn't rush back until they heard that something had happened in Luoyang, but they didn't expect to catch the thief who made Luoyang people helpless in just one night. For a time, the whole of Luoyang was singing their chivalrous names.
Xu Feilong never wanted to become a hero, so he was not interested in the name of a hero or anything, he asked for some dry food at the inn and bought two clothes at the ready-to-wear store. In this way, I left Luoyang and went west to prepare to go to Chang'an.
The road from Luoyang to Chang'an is wide and smooth, and Xu Feilong is too lazy to buy a horse, so he just walks. But there weren't many trips seen along the way. Xu Feilong took a bag and strode west, and after walking for a long time, he came to the place of Shili Pavilion.
Shili Pavilion, in fact, is ten miles to stop, here is actually a place for pedestrians to rest, and there is a teahouse on the side of the road. There were quite a few people gathered in this place.
Someone saw that Xu Feilong was about to go over, and hurriedly called out to him: "Young man, you dare to walk this road alone? You haven't heard that this road has not been very smooth recently, and you will walk with us later, and one more person will take care of it." ”
Xu Feilong clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still have to hurry to Chang'an." ”
"I'm not in a hurry to get on the road, and then the road is not quiet, there have been many accidents recently, and even the government has sent troops to strengthen patrols has no effect. ”
"Is it really so fierce, I've heard people say this before. But there shouldn't be such a disturbance around this god capital, right?" Xu Feilong asked suspiciously.
"We can't tell! Anyway, sometimes it's safe and sound, but sometimes it's weird, looking at the front and suddenly no one is there. We guess there might be a ghost. The man shook his head, a little uncertain.
Listening to this person's words, Xu Feilong patted Xing Xi and said with a smile: "I don't believe what ghosts and gods say, at most they are a few thieves." Besides, I only have some torn clothes, and I don't have anything else to do. If you really want to run into robbers, you should ask them for some tricks. Hehe, I'll go first. ”
The middle-aged man saw that Xu Feilong had made up his mind, and he no longer kept it, not to mention that a person with no long things was naturally not afraid of encountering a little robber, so he only shook his head at Xu Feilong's back, and said to himself: "I think someone wants to beg the robber." Young people really don't know how serious they are, and talking nonsense will invite trouble!"
Xu Feilong walked along the avenue, and the people along the way were more sparse, only occasionally encountering a group of people, or a patrol of cavalry.
I walked like this for more than half a day, and I don't know how many people I surpassed. The flat land on both sides is already sandwiched by the mountains.
Just as Xu Feilong was hurrying westward and was about to overtake a new group of people, a group of cavalry suddenly came in front of him, blocking everyone's way.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are bandits robbing the road ahead, we are encircling and suppressing them, please follow me to rest in the camp first, and then take you through after the bandits are encircled. ”
As soon as they heard that there were bandits fighting in front of them, the crowd immediately panicked, but soon followed under the comfort of the officers and soldiers.
If it was just three or two thieves, Xu Feilong could ignore it and leave on his own, but if it was a small war, then it would be difficult for him to pass. If you are treated as a gang of bandits, you will be in trouble.
Not long after following this group of cavalry, there was a newly opened gap on the side of the road, and soon a camp appeared in front of everyone.
Tea had been prepared in the camp for everyone to drink, and the cavalry had already departed, apparently to pick up the others.
Just when Xu Feilong was about to sit down and rest, an old man came over and arched his hand: "Looking at the little brother's foot strength before, I'm afraid he can do some kung fu, right?"
Not knowing the other party's purpose, Xu Feilong said casually: "Three punches and two feet, the dealer's style, not enough to worry about teeth." ”
As the saying goes, people become old and become spirits, how can this old man not see Xu Feilong's perfunctory: "Little brother has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, but I am not a bad person, I just have something to ask for." If the little brother is willing to help, there will be a lot of gratitude. ”
Xu Feilong is not so easy to buy, he doesn't know what to do, how can he let go: "You tell me what the hell is going on first?"
"It's just a gesture for a knight, just help protect my young lady to go to Chang'an!"
This is indeed a gesture, this old man's young lady seems to be a big man, as soon as she saw that there were really bandits, she began to pull people to increase her guard regardless of her identity.
But anyway, by the way, Xu Feilong didn't care about making a fortune from him.
"Alright then, as long as the price satisfies me. Protecting your young lady is not a problem. ”
"The price is absolutely satisfactory to you, as long as you arrive safely, I will pay you thirty taels ......" The old man looked at Xu Feilong's eyes while saying that, and when he saw that Xu Feilong was not happy at all, he hurriedly changed his words: "No, fifty taels of silver." You see how. ”
"The price was ok. Let's go!"
But just when Xu Feilong didn't take a few steps after following the old man, suddenly a series of wails came from around.
"What's going on, stomach, stomach, pain, pain......"
Xu Feilong guessed almost in the blink of an eye: "Tea is poisonous!"
Hearing Xu Feilong's judgment, the old man suddenly seemed to be ten years younger, and his legs and feet ran forward extremely neatly. As he ran, he shouted, "Miss, miss." Are you alright?"
Her young lady was so pampered, how could she drink the tea here, and naturally she was safe and sound, but the guardsmen were not so lucky, and most of them drank a little. It's either dead or screaming there. Only three or four of the guards had not drunk water, and they would be looking around the carriage in fear.
At this moment, the sound of cavalry starting to charge on the ground suddenly sounded in the distance.
At this moment, the other party's plan was all clear.
Those who disappeared recently were all killed here. The gang deliberately disguised themselves as cavalrymen and lured passers-by to follow them to the camp with false news, then poisoned most of them before coming back to finish the action. Just now, the other party left, I'm afraid to close the intersection into the mountain road.
The moment he heard the cavalry start to charge, Xu Feilong almost didn't think about it, and immediately pretended to have a stomachache, crouching on the ground with his abdomen hugged, ready to paralyze the other party. Take advantage of the sneak attack.
On the other side, the carriage, the numerous guards, such an obvious target, how could those who pretended to be cavalry not notice it, and naturally rushed to it as soon as possible.
Horsepower plus manpower, not to mention ordinary guards, even if a first-class master comes, he doesn't dare to take it head-on. For a while, flesh and blood flew sideways, and a head rolled in front of Xu Feilong with a gurgling face, which was exactly the old man's blind appearance before.
