Chapter 279: The Way Home (3/6)
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong hurried up, although it was still the middle of the night, and there were still an hour or two before dawn, but Linglong and Xiao Suifeng were still in a hurry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The strength of those five killers is too strong, and joining forces is also a great threat to Xiao Suifeng, not to mention protecting Linglong's thoughtfulness, so what Xiao Suifeng is thinking about at the moment is to leave this relatively closed road as soon as possible, and after sending Linglong out of this Wangshan Plain safely, he will slowly deal with the people who are hiding behind the scenes and want to calculate themselves.
Linglong's mind is naturally really exquisite, although Xiao Suifeng did not speak, but Linglong also saw through the thoughts in Xiao Suifeng's heart.
Linglong also understands that if there is only Xiao Suifeng alone, even in the face of those five killers, Xiao Suifeng alone will not be able to deal with it, but with Xiao Suifeng's martial arts and light skills, if you want to fight, you can at least be able to do whatever you want, so even if you still can't resist the combination of those five killers, if you want to protect yourself, it is much simpler, and it is much more convenient to act.
However, although Linglong's martial arts are also masters among the Jianghu people, if they are put together with those five killers, they are too far behind, not to mention this head-on confrontation, even if they resist a little, they can't do it.
With such a self by his side, it is naturally a big drag for Xiao Suifeng, when facing those five killers, Xiao Suifeng has some scruples in his heart whether he wants to fight or leave, which naturally greatly restricts Xiao Suifeng's actions.
Therefore, when Xiao Suifeng took the lead and took Linglong straight to Nalan Shuiguan, Linglong didn't say a word, just quietly followed behind Xiao Suifeng.
The strongman hurried all the way, but the road in the mountain plain was already difficult, and from Chuanshui Town to the east, it was no longer the endless grassland, and it had entered the state of the mountain road, and the road was even more difficult. It is precisely because of this that although it is only 700 miles from Shacheng to Naxiamaguan, even if there is a fast horse, it takes seven or eight days, and this is the reason.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong worked non-stop all the way in order to get rid of those five killers, but the mountains are rugged, although the official roads are specially built to ensure the army, but compared to the official roads in the hinterland of Middle-earth that can be paralleled by three or four carts, they are too much worse, strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as ordinary mountain roads.
On the road to get in this way, although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were intentional, their speed was not fast, and they walked for more than two hours, until it was almost dawn, and they only walked less than half of the distance.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are both martial artists, running all the way, but they don't feel anything unbearable, but those two war horses need to rest.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong also needed to use these two war horses to walk hundreds of miles of mountain roads, so naturally they didn't want to tire the two horses to death on this mountain road, so they took a break for the time being.
At this moment, the two of them had already walked dozens of miles away, and it should be impossible for the five killers to catch up for the time being, and Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were also able to take a temporary breather.
I didn't feel anything when I ran all the way before, but as soon as I rested now, the feeling of exhaustion came up instantly.
It's just that at this moment, the two of them hurriedly escaped from the inn, and at this moment, they had nothing else on their bodies except for some silver and two plates of silver provided by Na Li Ne, and they wanted to eat some dry food and drink water, but they didn't have it.
However, both of them are people who walk in the rivers and lakes all year round, and this difficulty is naturally difficult for the two of them.
Xiao Suifeng gently comforted the war horse on the side, checking whether the war horse was uncomfortable, but Linglong turned around and went into the mountain forest, but in time, he came back with two huge leaves rolling some water, and even brought a few unknown red wild fruits in his arms.
"Brother Xiao, give!" Linglong gave half to Xiao Suifeng, and Xiao Suifeng took it and was not polite.
Linglong herself drank some water, and after being silent for a while, she said, "I'm sorry Brother Xiao, my martial arts are too poor, not only can't help you, but it drags down Brother Xiao." ”
Xiao Suifeng was stunned for a moment, his expression was as usual, but he shook his head and said, "At your age, with such martial arts, if you still say that it is bad, I am afraid that more than half of the martial artists in this river and lake will not live." ”
Xiao Suifeng was a rare joke, and he couldn't help but chuckle when he said it, and Xiao Suifeng exhaled softly and said, "These people are coming at me, they have nothing to do with you, those five killers together, even if you don't have to take care of your safety, it will be difficult to deal with me alone." ”
Saying that, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but look east along the mountain road, and said worriedly, "Moreover, those five killers are probably just a part of the people behind the scenes, although I don't know what kind of role the forces behind the scenes are, but it is obviously a behemoth, since they already know my whereabouts and want to deal with me, then the means of arrangement are probably not only your five killers. ”
Hearing Xiao Suifeng say this, Linglong was also worried, and couldn't help but say nervously, "In this way, isn't it dangerous to go east this way?"
Xiao Suifeng nodded lightly.
Linglong's face was ugly, and she said hesitantly, "Brother Xiao, why don't we give up this official road and walk out of this mountain forest directly! Then you have to calculate that no matter how powerful your power is, it will be impossible to block the entire mountains, forests and grasslands of Wangshan Plain." ”
Xiao Suifeng was silent, but he still shook his head after all, "Although this is the case, if you don't take this official road and find your own way, it will take too long." ”
Although it is also very difficult to walk from Shacheng Road, the official road of Maguan, and you can't go too fast, but it is still much faster than walking directly through this mountain forest.
If you go from the official road, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong can go out in seven or eight days, and if you rush to hurry, day and night, you can even go faster.
But if you venture into the mountains and forests, even if you can identify the direction and will not get lost in the mountains and forests, if you want to go out, I am afraid that it will not take more than ten days, it is unlikely, and this is still the result of everything going well. This time is too long for Xiao Suifeng.
Moreover, Xiao Suifeng is going to return to the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect after all, so in response to Xiao Suifeng's calculations, Xiao Suifeng can't get rid of it at all, even if he can hide for a while, but he still needs to face it after all.
is also like this, Xiao Suifeng shook his head after all.
For Xiao Suifeng's thoughts, Linglong can also understand that Xiao Suifeng's troubles, if he can really dodge them, then it doesn't hurt to dodge, and Xiao Suifeng is not that rigid person. However, if you can't hide from it anyway, what's the point of hiding anymore?
The two were silent for a moment, and Linglong finally spoke, "In that case, then we still need to get on the road as soon as possible, and no matter what is waiting for Nalan Shuiguan, we also need to rush over as soon as possible, otherwise, if the five killers in the back also come over together, at that time, there will be wolves in front and tigers in the back, but it will be really troublesome." ”
Xiao Suifeng naturally nodded.
So, after the two rested for another half an hour, they went on the road again.
The mountain road was difficult, but the two of them hurried with all their might, and finally arrived at Nalan Water Pass at ten o'clock in the afternoon.
Lanshui Pass is different from Chuanshui Town, it is a real pass.
This Lanshui Pass was originally a valley, with lofty mountains on both sides, which was difficult to pass, and only that valley could be passed. After the Dakang army arrived here, they took a fancy to the terrain here, so they built a fortress in the valley.
The castle is divided into two city walls with a height of three or four zhang in the front and back, and one or two zhang in the back, while the left and right are even mountains, and the middle is just a garrison.
Of course, this is the setting of Lanshui Pass at the beginning, although the appearance of Lanshui Pass has hardly changed, but in the Guancheng, it is also the same as the general city, allowing some people and businessmen to settle down in it, so the current Lanshui Pass can also be regarded as a smaller city.
At this moment, the chaos in Wangshan Yuan has basically been calmed down, and the trade route is gradually returning to normal, in this case, during the day, the gate of the city is naturally open, even if there is no customs clearance waist card, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong only need to pay a small amount of customs clearance fees, they can pass the customs.
In order not to attract attention, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong have even used disguises. It's just that the two of them have too few materials available at the moment, so the disguise is a little simpler, just a slight change in skin color and hairstyle, if you are not familiar with it, you can hide the past.
In this case, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong naturally would not use the Tongguang waist card to reveal their identities, and after paying a small amount of silver taels, they entered the Lanshui Pass.
Lanshui Guanzhong also has a small number of shops, and in terms of quantity, it is not much different from that outside Chuanshui Town.
However, at the moment, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong naturally did not have time to stay in this Lanshui Pass, so they only purchased some necessary things slightly, and went out from the other side of the Guancheng City to prepare to leave.
It's just that although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong have disguised themselves as much as possible and don't want to attract attention, they are still being targeted when they leave this Lanshui Pass.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are both very cautious now, and Linglong is a master of tracking and concealment, so as soon as the two of them left Lanshui Pass, Linglong found out that she was being targeted for the first time, "Brother Xiao, less than a hundred zhang behind us, there is a person who has been following us!"
Linglong opened his mouth like this, Xiao Suifeng frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't even reply, and said softly directly, "Don't pay attention to it for the time being, the other party should not have confirmed our identity, otherwise, there should be more than one person staring at us." ”
Linglong also nodded when she heard this.
When Xiao Suifeng came out of Gesang City and Linglong personally tracked Xiao Suifeng, the situation was not much different from this time, and at that time, Linglong and those righteous sects who were with Linglong also knew that Xiao Suifeng was suspicious, but they couldn't confirm Xiao Suifeng's identity, so they let Linglong follow them all the way.
At this moment, the people behind Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are similar to the original Linglong.
In this case, it is regarded as not finding that person, and leaving normally may be able to dispel the suspicion of the other party.
At the moment, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong no longer deliberately paid attention, and even the speed was deliberately normalized, and they went straight to the east.
In this way, the two of them walked out for a few miles, and Linglong suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, the people behind have disappeared." ”
Xiao Suifeng nodded lightly, "It seems that that person may have given up his suspicion of me, and in the future, there should be no trouble for the time being......"
Xiao Suifeng was talking, but he faintly heard a sound of breaking the air in his ears, and his face couldn't help but change sharply at the moment, and he kicked the stirrup fiercely under his feet, and reached out to drag Linglong, who was walking side by side with him, at the same time, and the two of them flew up directly out of thin air.
And at the same time as Xiao Suifeng's action, dozens of feather arrows on both sides of the mountain road had already shot out, all shooting towards Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's original position.
said that it was too late and that was fast, at the moment when Xiao Suifeng and Linglong took off, the dozens of arrows were shot one by one, although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were temporarily dodging, but the two of them sat down on the original two war horses, but they could not escape, and they were directly shot into hedgehogs.
"Damn, there's an ambush!" Xiao Suifeng used his strength to first throw that Linglong in a safe direction, and the moment he landed, he drew his sword straight and rushed to the side of the official road, and there was a direction where the bow and arrow were shot.
At this moment, Xiao Suifeng didn't have time to think about it, he and Linglong were obviously well disguised and didn't show any flaws, but why they were still discovered and ambushed.
The sword light in his hand flashed, and Xiao Suifeng rushed into the mountains and forests on the side the moment he landed.
Not far from the mountain, among the trees and bushes, there were more than a dozen black-clothed warriors, seeing that Xiao Suifeng had escaped the arrow shot, and directly drilled in.
Xiao swept it with the wind, and immediately grasped the strength of the enemy on this side of the mountain road.
Regardless of the other side of the mountain road for the time being, only Xiao rushed into the mountains and forests on this side with the wind, and there were enough seventeen killers hidden, fortunately, these killers were different from the previous five killers in Chuanshui Town, these seventeen killers, placed in the rivers and lakes, although they can all be counted as good hands, but in terms of strength, the highest realm is only a potential realm cultivation, and most of them don't even have a potential realm cultivation.
Such a killer, although he has an absolute advantage in numbers, Xiao Suifeng can barely deal with it.
At that moment, this information flew through in his heart, and Xiao Suifeng captured it with his words, and directly rushed over with his sword. Xiao Suifeng's sword was like lightning, and a killer who was in front of Xiao Suifeng at the beginning, and he didn't even have time to resist, he was killed by Xiao Suifeng's sword, and blood was splashed! )
