The second section of the seven-spice treasure car

The twilight is thick, and there are no longer many pedestrians on the official road, only Ren Tianqi and his party are still silently rushing on the road, and the jingling bells on the treasure car are exceptionally crisp and pleasant, drifting in the evening breeze for a long time. Everyone was in a very bad mood, and they all sat down on horseback, especially Ren Tianqi, who sat on horseback in a trance and followed the convoy and let the horse walk freely, but his mind was overturning the river and thinking about it. He was grateful to the old prince, and he felt that this time under the old prince was the happiest and joyful time in the past few years, and it was the old prince who discovered his talent and gave him the opportunity to display his talents. He felt that he really liked the rugged and heroic in the army, the kind of simplicity and directness, the kind of friendship between each other's hearts and hearts, and the friendship of life and death; he liked to bump and bumper on horseback, gallop and chase; he liked the kind of charge that took the lead, and he liked the feeling of coldly staring at the other party with his Qiankun halberd in his hand and seeing the other party's fear; but he also knew that he didn't want to work for anyone or even for the court, and when he thought of the titles on his head, he felt cold and felt a cold swish on his back, and he always felt that someone was watching him coldly from the side, and he could frame himself and put himself to death at any time。 Although the current gold lord is Shengming, he knows that all the kings in the world are the same cold-blooded and ruthless and unreliable, he doesn't want to rely on anyone, he just wants to live a good life with his own skills, he just wants to be able to return to Guangling as soon as possible to face everything that his hometown has been missing for a long time, he just wants to be by his parents' side for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to return to Shangjing at all. He felt sorry for the old prince and princess. The old prince has no reservations about himself, trusts him, marches and fights, teaches everything as an official, and may give his only daughter to himself, but the old prince has no requirements for himself; if it is said that the old prince is to repay himself for saving his life in the past, but the old prince has given himself so many opportunities and places to use, and he has long been indebted. He knew that the county lord was a golden branch and jade leaf, and he was smart and decent, and he should be lucky to be favored by the county lord; to his delight, the county lord also liked himself from the bottom of his heart, and the two of them were close to each other, and they could be described as respecting each other as guests. The princess is as kind, considerate, and tolerant as her mother; what she likes most is to be able to eat bowl after bowl in front of the princess's eyes, and the princess adds bowl after bowl; she likes to sit and watch the princess sew clothes for herself, while listening to the princess talk about the county lord's childhood, about the idlers in the capital, and about the Jurchens' red and white affairs. In the palace, the princess never blames and buries anyone, she only smiles, understands, sympathizes with and takes care of meticulous consideration and care, and her fat body and hearty laughter are the symbols of the harmony of the palace. Ren Tianqi knew that he respected the old prince, relied on the princess, and loved the county lord, and Ren Tianqi also knew that these were the three people who had important weight in his life, and he would be willing to do anything for the three of them. But now that he is taking the county lord is getting farther and farther away from Shangjing, and away from the old prince and princess, he knows that he will never have the possibility of going back, he feels a sense of loss, a sense of guilt, and even a feeling of being a deserter. He cherishes the respect and loyalty of Mu Huatong and others to himself, he loves every steppe Mongolian who has lived and died with him, he never thinks that they are his servants, they are his captives, he regards them as his siblings as his right-hand man, but he also knows that he does not have the ability and opportunity to change their fate, he can't selfishly only think of himself, he must take into account the feelings of the county lord and the princess, he can only be very reluctant to let Mu Huatong and others return to Beijing to be an ordinary servant in the palaceHe knew that the promises he had made to them would never be kept, and that he could only compensate them as much as he could. Of course, he also knew Mu Huatong's love for Dongxue, and he knew that he also had the shadow of Dongxue in his heart, Dongxue was the first person he was familiar with in the palace, and he was also the closest person to him. It's just that since the status of himself and the county lord was determined, Dongxue has always maintained a sense of strangeness with himself, this strangeness has made him uneasy and lost, until Dongxue and the county lord returned to Guangling with him, and he was at ease, but now he witnessed Mu Huatong's eyes on Dongxue, and he felt very angry. Mu Huatong took the initiative to go back to make him feel very gratified, he believed that at this moment Mu Huatong had an inferiority complex that he did not dare to climb the county lord, he could experience the depression and pain brought by the inferiority, he was very grateful to Mu Huatong's behavior, he hoped that Mu Huatong would one day find the woman he liked from the four daughters of Huazheng. For this he felt that he was mean and powerful. He didn't know what kind of errand the old prince would give him, he was determined not to care about political affairs anymore, but could he get his wish?

The official road became narrower and the road surface became bumpy. The official road is going through a hilly area. Ren Tianqi retracted his thoughts, sat up straight on the horse's back, and looked around. It was quiet all around, and it was gray and hazy that I couldn't see far, but the terrain here was very important, and the pipes ran through the hills, between the depressions, and the hills were full of withered yellow trees, which may stretch for more than ten miles, but this place was also a good place for ambushes and robberies.

Everyone in front of them stopped their horses and turned their heads to look at Ren Tianqi. Everyone knows that after nightfall, this terrain is dangerous, and it is especially difficult to be sloppy. Ren Tianqi was silent for a moment, and said: "I don't know how far the hills in front of me are, and it is worth such a wild outskirts, it is difficult to find a proper strategy for a while! I don't think there is a need to go to investigate, it is better to pass through here as soon as possible with caution! I think the prestige of my Seven Spice Treasure Car is not something that anyone dares to rob!"

There was no objection from the crowd, and the convoy went up the hill and into the rugged mountain road. The speed of the car was very fast, and everyone was urging the horse to walk without saying a word.

Five horses stood in the woods. Immediately, five masked men were watching from afar as the horse team slowly approached.

The five men were all dressed in brocade clothes, neat and silent. After a long time, one of the people in the middle said slowly: "Everyone, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, it's time for us to prepare to make a move!"

The other four did not reply, but only reached out and touched the blades hanging from the saddle.

A gust of mountain wind blew. One of them coughed deliberately and said cautiously: "Are you sure that it is the world-famous Qixiang treasure car!"

The man in the middle heard this, his eyes were bright, he turned his head to look left and right, and said: "Are you all scared? What about the seven-spice treasure car, what if it is not the seven-spice treasure car? I still say that sentence, those who can't make a move are all up to you, everyone is the same as each other, and the military rank is the same, it's just a suggestion!"

One of them smiled and said: "My lord is too worried, how can the four of us be the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death! We only have the order of the adults to respect us, as long as the adults shout, we will all live and die together!" It's just ......."

The man in the middle sneered and said, "Brother Tai, don't have any scruples, if you have something to say, you can just say it." ”

The man said cautiously: "Have you ever heard of 'the Seven Spices Treasure Car appears, and the blood flows into pieces', not to mention that the car is still playing a phoenix flag, not an ordinary visitor, it is better for adults to be careful!"

Another person said: "That is, we have heard that the people below have unknown people secretly protecting them, and it is not too clear whether they are officials or bandits or friends in the rivers and lakes." If it is an official army, I am afraid that it will ruin the arrangement of the imperial court, and if it is a friend in the rivers and lakes, should we also say hello to Longqiuzhuang, which side we offend, and I can't afford to be humble and light!"

The man in the middle sneered a few times and said, "I have heard a lot of rumors about the treasure car, but I also want to try the power of this seven-spice treasure car! You don't have to be too reluctant to watch the show here, so as not to ruin your good future because of it!" The man said that as soon as he pulled the reins, he was about to turn his horse down the mountain.

One person stopped him and said, "Your Excellency, you don't have to be angry, the five of us and the other are ordered to go north, and we should advance and retreat together, how can we go to the east and west halfway? If we only seek temporary glory and wealth, how can we come here with the adults to set up an ambush? It's just that what we think about is that the Qixiang treasure car is not what it used to be, it is already quite related to the Dajin Kingdom's expedition to the southern palace, the carjacking is small, and the life and death of an individual is just a life, but if it is a big responsibility to provoke the two countries for no reason, it is not trivial to act without the order of the imperial court!"

The man in the middle said angrily: "Speaking of which, I am still timid and afraid, what is the matter with the imperial court, I will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs! Look at them all the way south, there is no one in their eyes, not to mention that they are about to cross the Huai River and enter the territory of Yangzhou, who can bear it? What happened to the car of the southern palace, since they do not act according to the agreement and want to go thousands of miles into the Great Song Dynasty, why should we rest on our laurels and look down on others, not to mention that if I can't wait to make a move, he will also make a move in Yangzhou Assassin History!"

The four did not answer. The man in the middle looked at everyone and said hatefully: "Everyone is giving me a refreshing word in the next sentence, whether to go or stay, and if you don't go on, you won't have a chance!"

The four of them glanced at each other, and they all reached out to touch their respective guys.

There was a gray-clad masked man curled up on the branch behind the five men, and no one knew when or how he came; he could hear the conversation of the five men in front of him clearly; he saw him stretch out, and a little of the branch flew out, and like an ape-like monkey, a few trees fell silently on the horse's ass of the man in the middle. The horse strangely didn't have any abnormal reaction, and the five men in front of him didn't notice anything. The person who came was a slightly short and thin man.

I saw the gray-clothed man poking his head in the middle of the man's ear and laughing: "You are also overbearing, what do you always force others to do when they don't want to? If this is a different old man, I won't have the cheekiness of you!"

When the man in the middle heard the sound, he saw that he had rolled off the horse with a shake of his shoulders and a huff of his waist, and flew back with his hands around the neck of the horse, and threw himself at the man behind the horse with both hands. The other four were also shocked, and each of them shook off their horses and flew towards the gray-clothed man. Five people trapped the compelling in the middle.

The gray-clothed man didn't want to entangle with them, a little horse's ass flew into the air, a turn in the air, and an arc flew up to a tree, he stood on the branch and said with a smile: "The officials are also careless, and they didn't even notice that my old man was eavesdropping on the side, but they still dreamed of robbing the Qixiang treasure car, and they didn't weigh how much ability they weighed.

The man in the middle said angrily: "Which side of the friend are you? Don't meddle in your affairs, don't be bored!"

The gray-clothed man smiled and said: "The power of the Seven Spice Treasure Car is known to the world, and you are so lonely that you want to try it out, I really don't know how thick it is, what year is it today! Let my old man come and see how you are doing!"

The man in gray swooped down in the air, and the five people turned to trap him in the middle again. In a moment, the five of them tossed the man in gray and staggered, and the skills of the five people were too different from the man in gray. One of them shook his body and pounced on his mount to take his blade, but the man in gray was faster, and a gray shadow and the man in gray had already stopped in front of him and overturned it as soon as he stretched out his hand. The man in gray didn't shoot heavily, and he didn't see how to shoot, and the five people could see that the intention was just to trap the hands and feet of the five people, thinking that they were in league with the convoy under the mountain. The five men gave up their bare hands and ran to their mounts to fetch their blades. The man in gray was stunned for a moment, paused slightly, nodded his feet and flew up, jumping over everyone's heads and rushing straight at the horses. The man in gray was a little faster than the five people, and whenever someone wanted to reach out and reach his blade, he always saw a black shadow snatching the blade first. The man in gray snatched his blade and took a look, and then abandoned it casually. In a moment, four people had already taken away the blades, and the gray-clothed man laughed and said, "You are not good enough, today I should be grateful to my old man for saving your life, forget it, you can just play with the old man here with peace of mind." I saw the gray-clothed man holding a branch and flying down, drawing a circle around the five people and flying up the tree on the spot, and said with a smile: "I think you all know the allusion of painting the ground as a prison, the old man and I have no malicious intentions this time, as long as you stay here for an hour, the old man should leave." ”

All five of them snorted coldly, and they all flew on their feet. As soon as the man in gray raised his hand, a few branches flew out and knocked the five people down in place. The five of them rolled on the spot, each reached into his arms, took out a hidden weapon, and raised his hand to hit it. The man in gray let out a long laugh, jumped between the trees, and a few more branches flew down the hidden weapons in everyone's hands, and everyone's wrists were shaken in pain.

The five of them had no choice but to be trapped in the circle by the man in gray. The man in the middle said hatefully: "Who is the friend who is superior, can he report his name?

The man in gray smiled: "Don't be impatient. A little old man is extremely cheap, not worth mentioning, you are naturally unconvinced, but the little old man does not have the slightest intention of showing off his art, just a favor to the old man. Now it is said that only God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. ”

The five of them glared at each other angrily and flew up again. It was dark.
