Chapter 22: The River Breeze (2/4)

From Ning Xufeng, among the three journeys to Linhai City, the section from Beizecheng to Kunyuan City is the shortest. If you drive the carriage faster, it will only take about a day to arrive, even if you go slower, two days is enough.

After the coachman accepted Xiao Suifeng's silver, he was also refreshed, and without delay, he drove directly on the road.

It's just that this man seems to be a quiet person, since he got on the road, he couldn't stop talking to Xiao Suifeng while driving, and the topic he said was also incoherent, for a while he was inquiring about Xiao Suifeng's origin, and for a while he was talking about the grand event on Ning Xufeng yesterday, and after a while, he talked about the bloody case in Beizecheng not long ago, which can be said to have been chattering endlessly, as if he didn't know how to be tired.

Xiao Suifeng is a person who is not good at words, and he has no habit of chatting with others because of his indifferent temperament, so when he is alone in the car, often the coachman talks for a long time, and Xiao Suifeng only has a ride and no match.

The official road is straight, and the road is smooth.

Xiao sat alone in the car with the wind, closed his eyes and breathed by himself, or took a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers on both sides of the official road, and occasionally responded to the coachman's whispers.

In this way, although Xiao Suifeng's ears are not clean, he is also peaceful all the way.

After traveling all the way, the carriage did not go slowly, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, it was evening, and the carriage arrived at a mountain gorge.

The coachman looked at the mountain gorge in front of him and said, "Little brother, there is the Nine Bend Gorge ahead, and after the Nine Bend Gorge, you will be able to reach Kunyuan City in a day or two." If we are lucky, we may be able to enter the city before the gates are closed, and we will not be able to sleep outside the city. ”

When the coachman said this, Xiao Suifeng naturally had no opinion, so he only answered, opened the curtain and looked at the Nine Bends Gorge.

At this moment, the sun has set in the west, and the Nine Bends Gorge in front of it has nine turns and nine turns, and the mountains are bleak and cold, shrouded in a hazy and faint shadow in the dark twilight, cold and lonely.

Although Xiao Suifeng doesn't often walk down the mountain, he has also heard of this Nine Bend Gorge.

This Nine Bend Gorge can be said to be the only dangerous road between Beize and Kunyuan. But the road itself is not dangerous, although the mountain gorge is rugged and a little more difficult, as long as you pay attention to it, it will not be a big problem. And the real danger is that the green forest strongmen who occasionally hide in this Nine Bends Gorge often do some businessless business, blocking the road and committing murders and stealing goods. Therefore, ordinary pedestrians and business travelers do not dare to cross this mountain gorge alone even during the day, let alone at night.

It's just that at this moment, the coachman didn't seem to have heard of those things, and when he saw that the sky was dark, he was not afraid, and he still drove directly into the Nine Bends Gorge without hesitation.

As soon as I entered the mountain gorge, the already dim sky seemed to darken a little bit in an instant.

I saw that the mountains and rocks on both sides of the road were lined up, and the shadows of the trees were forested, faintly revealing a little weird. And in the depths of the shadows, there will be a few strange bird wails from time to time, which makes people shudder.

may have been infected by this atmosphere, and the coachman who had been chattering stopped talking, and only drove the carriage and horse seriously, moving forward cautiously.

Xiao Suifeng didn't speak, but tightened the burden on his back, and untied the Chengying Sword and put it across his lap, as if he was on guard.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered, and it was particularly loud in this quiet and surprisingly strange Nine Bend Gorge.

The coachman drove the carriage through six bends and was uneventful, but when he crossed the seventh bend, danger suddenly came.

Whoosh!

I only heard the sound of arrow feathers whistling in the air, and it sounded in this nine-bend gorge. Before the driver could react, he saw several arrows on both sides of the gloomy gorge shooting directly at the horses pulling the cart, and the poor horse was shot to the ground before he could neigh, almost overturning the running carriage.

The coachman did not sit still, and was thrown from the carriage, and rolled on the ground several times before he stopped.

"Ahh

After a while, the coachman seemed to react, screamed, and crawled directly under the carriage that had just stopped.

The night was already dark.

After the coachman shouted, the Nine Bends Gorge fell silent again, as if nothing had happened just now. The trembling coachman who hid under the carriage and the horses that had fallen to the ground with several arrows and blood gurgling showed how real what had just happened.

Quiet, this night is getting quieter and quieter.

An invisible killing machine quietly spread out between the mountains and forests, dyed with a wisp of blood.

Whoosh!

In the darkness, there was another sound of arrows whizzing through the air, only this time it was more dense. The coachman who was hiding under the carriage with his head in his arms looked up, only to see the arrows on both sides raining down, but this time, their target was no longer the horse, but Xiao Suifeng in the car.

With a strong bow and a strong crossbow, so many arrows and feathers are shot together, even if you hide in the carriage, you are afraid that you will be shot into a hedgehog.

Bang!

At this moment, the window on the right side of the carriage was suddenly kicked open, and a black object flew out of it, directly blocking all the feather arrows shot from one side.

After a closer look, I realized that it was Xiao Suifeng's hat!

It turned out that Xiao Suifeng, who had been sitting in the carriage, finally moved at a critical moment.

The hat was thrown, and Xiao Suifeng jumped with the shadow sword in his hand, like a ghostly black shadow, and jumped out of the carriage immediately after the hat, and rushed straight into the shadows on the side of the road.

There were six or seven black-clothed men with strong bows hidden in the shadows, and when they saw Xiao rushing with the wind, they hurriedly shot arrows. But Xiao Suifeng's Lingyun body was light and easy, his body was erratic, and before a few people could lock on to the target, Xiao Suifeng had already rushed to them.

Xiao Suifeng didn't waste any strength to speak, the shadow sword in his hand flipped over, and the coarse cloth wrapped around the long sword was suddenly thrown away. A few black-clothed people only felt that there was a flash of sword light in front of them, and before they could see it clearly, they heard two screams, and when they looked at it, it turned out that it was such an instantaneous kung fu, Xiao Suifeng had already killed two people in a row!

The rest of the people suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and seeing Xiao Suifeng rushing towards them past the two who had fallen, several people hurriedly abandoned the bow and crossbow in their hands and picked up their swords.

"Ah, don't kill me!

Just when Xiao Suifeng stepped forward to solve the remaining few people, a shout suddenly rang out from the side.

Xiao Suifeng saw that several black-clothed people also rushed out on the other side of the road, and the coachman who was hiding under the carriage shouted and fled in the direction of Xiao Suifeng.

Frowning slightly, Xiao Suifeng hesitated slightly, but still abandoned his opponent and headed towards the coachman.

At this moment, several black-clothed people behind the coachman were about to catch up, and one of them was holding a long knife in his hand, and it seemed that he was about to cut at the coachman's back.

Seeing this, Xiao Suifeng took a step with his footwork, and looked like he had only taken a few steps, but he stepped directly to the coachman, and stretched out his hand to pull the coachman over. At the same time as the two of them staggered, Xiao Suifeng picked up the shadow sword in his hand, and the man in black who followed closely behind the coachman fell to the ground and never got up again.

But at this moment, Xiao Suifeng's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Suifeng was about to dodge sideways. At this time, the corner of Xiao Suifeng's eyes swept over, and a silver light flashed behind him, and it was the coachman who was rescued by Xiao Suifeng out of nowhere to find a short sword with a small arm length and stabbed straight at him.

At this moment, the short coachman still has the frightened and embarrassed appearance before, his eyes are clearly ruthless, his movements are sharp and fast, and he is still a master!

The coachman Lin Ge's blow came suddenly, and the shot was fast and ruthless, Xiao Suifeng had already dodged with the fastest action, but still did not completely avoid it, and was cut by the man's arm, and suddenly, blood flowed.
