Chapter 493: The road is uneven
At the junction of the vast fields and the vast mountains, there is a ravine three feet wide and five feet deep. The www.biquge.info just follow the road that crosses the vast fields, climb the steep slope, cross a simple wooden bridge, and cross this deep ditch to reach the foot of the mountain that connects to the fields.
And the group of people who teamed up with Chen Youneng and defrauded Tian Fugui of sixty taels of silver, the six apprentices and his daughter Song Xiaoying brought by Master Song, after they parted ways with Chen Youneng, they followed the road that crossed the vast fields, preparing to cross the mountain in front of them and go to another town on the opposite side of the mountain.
The eight of them talked and laughed all the way, and when they saw the steep slope bordering the fields at the foot of the mountain, there was still a place to shoot. Suddenly, by the pale moonlight, they saw a group of people, like a pack of wild dogs, rushing towards them in the hazy moonlight, one high and one low, one behind the other.
The people were getting closer and closer, and in the moonlight, the steel knives in each of their hands reflected the pale moonlight, reflecting the chilling cold light. They were aggressive, chasing after these eight people who ran the rivers and lakes.
When I looked closer, I found that these people were still masked, and I couldn't see their faces clearly. They stepped forward and said only one word to the eight people who were coming towards them: "Acquaintances, hand over the forty taels of silver!"
At that time, these eight people who ran the rivers and lakes were very nervous, but Master Song was experienced in the rivers and lakes, and knew that these people were just here for the silver. I thought to myself: Give up the money to eliminate the disaster! I was about to ask the disciples to give them all the money, so as not to cause conflict.
His six apprentices followed him to the north and south, after all, they had also learned martial arts, and they all felt good about themselves, and they were even more young and vigorous, and no one could swallow this sullen breath. Although at the beginning, seeing them rushing with bright steel knives, they felt a little nervous and frightened.
Later, when they heard such a request, his six apprentices calmed down, and felt that these people were the local thugs, people who had nothing to do. Seeing that they had won a lot of money, they gathered a group of men in a vain attempt to defraud them of some of the money of outsiders.
With this in mind, they developed a kind of contempt for the twenty-five masked men who were armed with knives in the way, and they thought that these people were all petty gangsters, and they didn't mind them at all.
Immediately, Master Song's eldest apprentice, the bearded young man, everyone called him Heizi, and he was not bad with the presence of the master, and the skills of the younger brothers and sisters were also quite good. Therefore, he took the lead in stepping forward and shouted in the face of twenty-five masked men who were holding knives to block the way: "What a bold man, is there a royal law, how can there be a reason to block the road and rob." ”
Unexpectedly, the masked people in front of them, seeing that the other party was not panicked, calmly stopped them. Immediately, the masked people in front of him who blocked the road were frightened and retreated. From this point, the eight people of Kuroko are even more convinced that these people are all temporary partners, their hearts are not aligned, and their goals are not obvious, as long as they insist on persevering, these people will eventually be self-defeating.
And Master Song also saw this, and at that time he thought that the apprentices could handle this matter, and for a while, he didn't care too much. "Don't get out of the way yet!" Kuroko shouted even louder when he saw that the other party's momentum was dissipating. Then, the five junior disciples also shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." ”
As a result, the first few people with knives were in a dilemma and were in a dilemma. At the moment of the dilemma, a masked man caught up from behind, he did not carry a knife in his hand, but his hands were empty; when he saw that his group of people were holding steel knives and stagnating, he had the intention of retreating. Then he shouted loudly, and snatched the steel knife from the hand of a nearby companion, rushed up, and slashed at the eight people, and shouted at everyone all the way: "What are you still stunned, if you don't give them silver, you will kill them." ”
This sudden change caught Master Song and the seven apprentices off guard. And Master Song was the closest to the masked man, and was slashed in the chest by the other party, dragging out a deep knife cut, and suddenly, blood spurted out. However, in order to keep the daughter and apprentices behind him safe. He simply pounced on the group of masked people in front of him, and for a while, he frightened those timid masked people into retreating again and again.
However, the person who took the lead in slashing him was ruthless and did not hesitate. Seeing that he was fighting hard with himself, he rushed over and stabbed him in the chest again, and this time, Master Song could no longer support it, and immediately collapsed in the rice field below the ridge.
When Yingzi saw his father being cut down by a masked man, he was shocked, scared, and grieved, "Dad...... Father...... Daddy......" She cried out angrily, and several senior brothers hurriedly pulled her back.
The elder brother Kuroko and the other two senior brothers threw aside the forty taels of silver in the black money bag, went up to them, snatched the steel knives from the hands of the masked men who hesitated, and engaged them in a fierce battle.
Kuroko and they never expected that among these masked people, a few of them were indeed very good. After some time, Kuroko fell to the edge of the ridge with six stabs in his body, and the other two junior brothers, he was injured in many places, and finally he was outnumbered, and both were seriously injured and fell in a pool of blood.
During the scuffle, five of the masked men also fell. These five people didn't seem to have much effort, and they were even more hesitant, and in the end, Kuroko and his two junior brothers snatched the knife in their hands and were cut to the ground on the spot.
Now, the masked man had snatched the forty taels of silver from these eight people. But when they saw that the five men who had come with them were dying, all the masked men were angry, and now they were not only going to take away the forty taels of silver from the eight men, but they were going to kill the remaining four.
A bloody cold wind blew in the vast fields, and the silent mountains overlooked the few weak lives at their feet! Song Xiaoying and the three senior brothers wanted to return the same way, but the masked soldiers divided into two roads, and the four of them had already blocked the main road that stretched across the vast fields.
Fear and despair made Song Xiaoying cry for help, and it also made the group of masked people even more arrogant and obscene. Like the vicious wolves, when they hear the bleating of the lamb, the reaction in their hearts is not sympathy, not pity, but more agitation, more madness and arrogance.
"Leave this little girl behind for the time being, and kill the rest!" said the masked man who was the first to raise a knife and cut someone. His voice was cold, making Song Xiaoying and her three senior brothers tremble.
"You two protect the junior sister," the little yellow-haired man stepped forward, and he suddenly appeared very calm, picking up from the ground the steel knife used by the elder brother Kuroko, and the blade had many gaps, and stopped the masked men chasing from the direction of the hillside.
And behind him, there were only six masked men with knives, and the yellow-haired little man thought to himself, with two juniors and disciples to deal with, he should be able to hold out for a while. In the vast moonlight, on the road of the vast field, the yellow-haired little man stood with a knife, facing a group of fierce masked swordsmen, he was not afraid at all.
At that moment, the fourteen masked swordsmen were also shocked by his righteous and awe-inspiring momentum. They stopped and looked at each other, and at last it was the burly masked man who said in his cold tone, "Don't be afraid of him, give it to me!"
Suddenly, a group of swords flashed, forming a knife net, covering the yellow-haired little man standing with a horizontal knife, and immediately, the yellow-haired little man didn't even snort, and was cut into pulp by these masked people.
At this moment, from the direction of Phoenix City in the east, two black shadows floated in, in the pale moonlight, like two giant eagles, flying towards the place where the fight was taking place.
"Stop!" the two black shadows had already floated in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the twenty masked people in front and behind were all flustered.
The two men who came suddenly, one with a sword on his back and a purple robe, his bronzed face reflected a gray light in the night light. It makes people feel that his serious expression is more terrible than the anger of a leopard.
The other, chubby and round, reflected a bright light in the moonlight on his plump face like water, and his pale brows were equally filled with intense anger. The gray cotton robe he wore on his body, with many patches, made it clear to the locals that this man was from a gang of beggars.
