Chapter 284: Desperate Situation (2/6)
got rid of those five killers, and repelled the two of them on the peak, and Lian Diyun, just when Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were thinking in their hearts, write down, what dangers they would encounter, but they unexpectedly calmed down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong both maintained absolute vigilance, but they did not find the existence of a threat for the time being, which also made the two of them feel a little more at ease.
However, even if they didn't find that there was a threat, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong still didn't dare to be careless, and they hurried almost non-stop, and almost didn't delay a moment except for the necessary rest and stay.
is also because Xiao Suifeng has the customs clearance waist card given by Guo Qian'an, so Xiao Suifeng and Linglong rushed all the way, but it was also very smooth, and even at night, they could easily knock on and close the door.
Although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong did not get clear news, the five killers they met at the beginning were indeed temporarily gone, in the eyes of Xiao Suifeng and Linglong, among them, the waist card given to him by Guo Qian'an was also not useless, and it was precisely because of such a convenient and time-free customs clearance that it was a reason for Xiao Suifeng to get rid of the five killers.
In this way, three days passed soon, and Xiao Suifeng and Linglong finally came to Zouma Pass.
Zoumaguan is also a pass, because it is a pass connecting the hinterland of Middle-earth and Wangshanyuan, so it is relatively more important in terms of location.
The entire Zouma Pass is also built in a valley, and on both sides of the pass city, there are unattainable and steep mountains, not to mention people, even birds may not be able to cross over. And the valley between the two mountains is also extremely narrow.
It may be an exaggeration to use the word "walking horse", but it is also relatively consistent, the whole valley, the widest place, is only less than ten zhang, and the narrowest place is only able to walk two ordinary carriages side by side.
The terrain of Zoumaguan is steep, and it can be seen that the gate city is built in this canyon, which happens to be a critical place, and it can be regarded as a throat place on the western border of the hinterland of Middle Earth.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong came to this Horse Pass, although out of this Horse Pass, the road is wide and accessible, and it can be regarded as a real step out of the scope of Wangshan Plain, but Xiao Suifeng and Linglong still dare not have the slightest carelessness.
Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and the people of the rivers and lakes naturally do not take the laws of the imperial court in their eyes, but the control of the Dakang court in the hinterland of Middle Earth is naturally not as erosive as in the Wangshan Plain, so even though the situation of the Jianghu people is still public, it will not be unscrupulous in the Wangshan Plain.
If the forces in the shadows must want to get rid of Xiao Suifeng, they can naturally ambush and plot against Xiao Suifeng after they get out of Wangshan Plain, but it is much more difficult than in Wangshan Plain.
Judging from the actions of the forces behind them, this force acts secretly, although the power is huge, and there are few rivals in the rivers and lakes, but it acts in a low-key and mysterious manner, and it seems that it does not want to be noticed.
Naturally, there is a reason behind this act, perhaps the force behind it has some special plan, in short, that force at least does not want to be exposed to the entire Jianghu at the moment.
And since this is the case, after entering the hinterland of the Central Plains, if the forces behind it want to ambush Xiao Suifeng, it is naturally impossible to ambush Xiao Suifeng on the official road with such a large scale of masters as before.
Moreover, if the forces behind it really plan to do the same, then this last step is undoubtedly the last good opportunity.
And once you get out of this pass, the avenue passage, what way Xiao Suifeng is going, it is not easy to grasp, and if the secret strength wants to solve Xiao Suifeng, it will inevitably be more troublesome.
Therefore, for the forces behind them who want to plot against Xiao Suifeng, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong can naturally continue to chase and kill when they go out of Lewangshanyuan, but in terms of convenience and the possibility of success, it is better to solve Xiao Suifeng in this Wangshanyuan.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong also thought of this, so after entering this pass, they became more and more cautious.
Compared with the rest of the military towns and walled cities, and even Nasha City, Zoumaguan is naturally very prosperous and lively because it is a gateway pass into Wangshanyuan.
There are three city walls in the whole Zoumaguan, which divides the entire Zoumaguan into two parts.
In the narrowest part of the whole canyon, a wall was first built, which divided the entire canyon into the hinterland of Middle-earth and the Wangshan Plain.
On the east and west sides of this city wall, there is a city wall, the east wall is naturally facing the direction of the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the west city wall is facing the place where the mountain plain looks.
These three to the city wall, also with the middle city wall as the boundary, the entire Zoumaguan City, divided into two parts: the east city and the west city.
Xicheng faces Wangshan Plain, so it is naturally more tightly guarded, so the entire Xicheng is a military city, in which there are always elite troops, specially used to guard the throat here.
Compared with the strict garrison of the West City, the East City is facing the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the guards are naturally lax.
Therefore, in the eastern city, although there is also an army stationed, but the army is very small, and the main thing is that the people and merchants run it, which is a bit lively and prosperous.
In order to avoid staying in this pass, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong deliberately spent the night outside the city, and then entered the city shortly after dawn.
At this moment, there are many people in this city, although it is easy to leak the identities of Xiao Suifeng and Linglong, but it also avoids the risk of Xiao Suifeng and Linglong spending the night in this city and being attacked.
And Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's plan is to stay in this pass as little as possible, and directly pass through the city.
As long as you get out of the horse pass, although the danger will still exist, but, compared to Wangshan Yuanzhong, the forces behind it that want to plot against Xiao Suifeng always need to be restrained, even if they want to chase and kill Xiao Suifeng, I am afraid that they will not mobilize so many masters at one time.
If it was before, when the Central Plains Righteous Path factions and the Cold Moon Sect were at war, the main energy of Tiantai Mansion was also involved, and the supervision of the entire rivers and lakes was lax, and it was able to do some tricks.
But right now, the Righteous Path Sect and the Cold Moon Sect have temporarily truce, and the forces of the Tiantai Mansion have also been drawn back in a big way.
Tiantai Mansion is the eagle dog of the imperial court, the eyes and ears of the emperor, it is the power of the royal family to supervise the entire rivers and lakes, and the power should not be underestimated, the force behind it that wants to plot against Xiao Suifeng, if it is also in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it will inevitably be known by Tiantai Mansion.
Therefore, at least from this point of view, as long as Xiao Suifeng and Linglong get out of the horse pass, their safety can be relatively guaranteed.
With such thoughts, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong cautiously passed through the barrier, although both of them were full of energy and ready to deal with all kinds of dangers at any time, but after all, they walked over calmly.
This made Xiao Suifeng and Linglong both wonder from the bottom of their hearts, "Could it be that the forces behind it really only laid those two ambushes, and there are no other means?"
Although he had this doubt in his heart, Xiao Suifeng was still really vigilant, although he was slightly relieved, but he was not too careless.
In terms of the strong strength of the forces behind it and their methods, if there was really a third trouble prepared for Xiao Suifeng behind it, then the third attack would most likely be even more dangerous than the first and second attacks.
From this point of view, since there is no ambush and no other troubles, it is naturally a good thing for Xiao Suifeng and Linglong.
It's just that Xiao Suifeng and Linglong both of them are difficult to relax in their hearts, but they are both a little heavy.
This is naturally not disappointed that the forces behind the scenes did not ambush in the Zouma Pass, but because the two had agreed to speak before, and after the two walked out of Wangshanyuan, they needed to go their separate ways and go their separate ways.
Xiao Suifeng needs to go to Guangyang City, pick up Liu Laoqi and Liu Xue'er's father and daughter, and return to Luo Qingfeng of the Cloud Sword Sect.
And Linglong has cut off the news from the sect for so long, and now that she is out of Wangshanyuan, she naturally needs to return to the sect.
The two have been together for nearly a month along the way.
A month is not a long time for life, but the two get along day and night with life and death, and they have come all the way, and they naturally have indescribable affection in each other's hearts, but it makes this difference a little sad and sad.
Xiao Suifeng was lost, although there was no emotion on his face, but the cold expression almost returned to the way he first met that Linglong, which showed the emotion in his heart.
And Linglong completely wrote her emotions on her face, and after leaving the horse pass, she just led the horse silently behind Xiao Suifeng, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Soon after leaving Maguan, the official road was divided into two, and the two had different goals and directions, and the paths they had to take were also different.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong both deliberately slowed down their pace, but no matter how slow their steps were, the separation would eventually come, and it didn't take long for the two to finally come to that fork in the road.
Xiao Suifeng led the horses of the two, and first stopped, but Linglong kept her head down and didn't look ahead, almost crashing into Xiao Suifeng's body.
Xiao Suifeng glanced at Linglong, silently handed a horse rein in his hand to Linglong, and said, "That's it." ”
Linglong raised her head, although her eyes did not shed tears, but her eyes were slightly red, and she silently took the reins from Xiao Suifeng's hand and did not speak.
Xiao Suifeng looked at Linglong's expression, and wanted to say something in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help but fall into silence, just looked at Linglong silently, and there was no coldness and indifference in his eyes, but it was soft.
Linglong was also silent for a long time, and then Fang Fang sighed lightly and said in an inaudible voice, "Then Brother Xiao, I'll leave." ”
Looking at Linglong's lovely expression, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but soften in his heart and blurted out. "Or I'll send ......"
Xiao Suifeng originally wanted to say that he would send Linglong back, but halfway through the words, he stopped alive.
But Linglong stopped halfway through the words in her ears, her expression couldn't help but perk, and she looked up at Xiao Suifeng, but Xiao Suifeng shook her head and didn't continue, which made Linglong feel disappointed.
Xiao Suifeng was also helpless.
It stands to reason that although Linglong is not a weak woman in the general sense, but after all, she is still a girl, for safety reasons, Xiao Suifeng sent her back to the sect, it is not impossible, especially at the moment, the relationship between the two is extraordinary, Linglong has solved Xiao Suifeng's crisis several times, Xiao Suifeng escorted Linglong back, it is even more deserved.
Moreover, because of Xiao Suifeng's own relationship, Linglong was also involved, so that Linglong was also in a potentially dangerous state, from this point of view, Xiao Suifeng should escort Linglong home.
It's just that Xiao Suifeng said half of it, but he finally retracted his words.
If it was an ordinary time, Xiao Suifeng would naturally not hesitate, but right now, Xiao Suifeng is the real source of danger.
At the moment, although it has come out of the Horse Pass, it does not mean that the trouble and threat on Xiao Suifeng's body have ended, in this case, if Xiao Suifeng escorts Linglong back to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, not only will it not make Linglong safer, but it will make Linglong fall deeper and deeper in the danger and trouble brought by Xiao Suifeng.
In today's small situation, Linglong can only stay away from Xiao Suifeng to be truly safe and relieved.
Xiao Suifeng thought of this, so he stopped his words, as for the disappointment in the exquisite eyes, Xiao Suifeng naturally saw it in his eyes, but he could only sigh.
After a moment of silence again, Xiao Suifeng finally spoke again, "You be careful along the way, contact your people in Hundred Flowers Valley as soon as possible, and then return to your Hundred Flowers Valley." ”
Xiao Suifeng said this, but he was actually still worried about the safety of the delicate road.
And Hundred Flowers Valley, as one of the righteous sects, although the main force has been like the rest of the major sects, it has already withdrawn from the sect, but after all, this crusade against the Cold Moon Sect is only a temporary truce, and it has not completely ended, so Hundred Flowers Valley still has a small amount of strength left outside.
Linglong alone naturally worries Xiao Suifeng, but if Linglong can contact the people of Baihua Valley, it will naturally make Xiao Suifeng feel a lot more at ease.
Hearing Xiao Suifeng say this, Linglong nodded lightly, looking at this Xiao Suifeng, he suddenly hugged Xiao Suifeng, and directly made Xiao Suifeng stupid, but he didn't expect Linglong to suddenly make such a move.
In Xiao Suifeng's consternation, Linglong quickly separated from Xiao Suifeng, jumped on the war horse, and then looked back at Xiao Suifeng.
Looking at Xiao Suifeng's Linglong and the two of them again, they were no longer half disappointed, but they were still smiling like flowers, "Brother Xiao, you also promise all the way, you must be safe, and when I return to the sect first, I will go to you!"
After that, he didn't wait for Xiao Suifeng to come back to his senses, just flicked the horsewhip and walked away. (To be continued.) )
