Chapter 51: Flanking Attack

After a night's journey, I found a village at dawn, and everyone was asleep, it was time to rest for a while, I was too tired. Murong Chen obviously felt the enthusiasm of the people in the village for him, and the village chief took someone to change the carriage for them and took the horses to feed the fodder. Nia chattered with the village chief for a while, and it seemed that she was an old acquaintance.

"Daddy Nemo told me about you, he already explained it when he passed by here, and I will do my best to satisfy you if you want anything. The village chief carried a Miao knife on his back and followed Nia to Murong Chen. He was a quick talker, and although his face was a little dark, he spoke very straightforwardly. There is no feeling of slippery head like the old Jianghu at all, which makes Murong Chen a little surprised. However, it is not surprising that there is nothing slippery about treating his friends, which is also a consistent tradition of Miao Jiang.

"Thank you for your trouble, but it might get you in trouble. After all, with so many people staying with you and changing carriages, it's hard not to be known, and it's hard not to reveal the news. ”

Murong Chen said to the village chief very worriedly, his face was grim, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about this, I don't believe that the officers and soldiers can kill all the people, after all, there are the most Miao people in Miaojiang, if they estimate it too much, they can't stand it themselves, after all, they still like their black yarn hats, and it is estimated that they will not be too vocal about this matter." The village chief said his opinion very disapprerovingly, maybe he had been exposed to this matter too much. It doesn't matter anymore.

"Then thank you village chief, for causing you trouble. Murong Chen looked at the village chief's indifferent appearance, and also sighed and thanked him.

"Brother Murong, you don't have to worry, we are safe here, take a day off, and we can leave immediately. Nia looked at Murong Chen and hurriedly explained. She is very happy now, as long as she is with Murong Chen, she is very happy.

"Let's see how the wagons and supplies are ready, and we're off when we're done. Murong Chen looked at Nia and the village chief and nodded at them. Then went with them to the place of the carriage.

"Looks like you're almost ready. We'll be on our way in a moment, and we can't afford to delay. Murong Chen touched the strap of the carriage, it was already very strong, and he said to Nia with satisfaction.

"Yes. Start early and travel more. lest you have long nights and many dreams. The village chief looked at the two and reminded him kindly. He actually didn't have much of a good impression of Murong Chen, and after he heard about Murong Chen's matter, his face changed. I secretly shook my head at this murderous man, but I couldn't stand the face of Nemo's father, so I had to reluctantly agree to help them. But he has always been a Buddhist who does not kill, so he doesn't appreciate Murong Chen's behavior very much. In his heart, he actually wished that he would leave quickly, in his eyes, Murong Chen was no different from the devil, but he was just a devil who didn't kill good people.

Murong Chen couldn't hear what he meant, but he didn't show his face, he just thanked everyone and left after thanking him again and again, there were no villages along the way from here to King Miao's station, because it was an area of fighting, so there were very few villages, and most of the people fled, so what they prepared was all the things along the way.

The sky gradually darkened, Murong Chen drove the horse team to an open place in the woods, surrounded the carriage in a circle, and built a fire in the middle, all the people fell asleep around the fire, Murong Chen stayed alone by the fire, he wanted to keep vigil, not to let the beasts attack the team, but also to prevent anyone from coming to sneak attack.

The fire was burning, reflected on Murong Chen's face was red, he looked at the fire and was distracted, it seemed that a person appeared in the fire, Shangguan Yanran's face seemed to appear in front of him, he looked at her face and smiled, holding his chin with one hand, and playing with the fire with the other, just laughing.

"Brother Murong, did you think of your beloved?" Suddenly Nia sat up, sat next to Murong Chen, looked at his face and asked.

"Yes, I've thought about it a little, silly girl, go to sleep, I'll be in a hurry tomorrow morning." Murong Chen looked at Nia and said with a smile, he was interrupted by her when he was just immersed in his memories, and his heart was indeed a little out of shape by this little girl. He urged Nyoa to speak.

"Brother Murong, do you think our Miao Jiang is good?" Nya ignored Murong Chen's urging and suddenly asked with her cheeks on her cheeks.

"It's good, but no matter how good it is, it's someone else's home, Brother Murong wants to go back to his own home, where there are my relatives. Murong Chen looked at Nia and said seriously. Yes, no matter how comfortable other people's homes are, they are not as comfortable as their own homes, because that is the happiest place for themselves.

"Liar. Nia pouted, muttered, and then turned around and got into the quilt and ignored Murong Chen.

Murong Chen shook his head, glanced at Nia, shrugged his shoulders and continued to look at the fire.

There were bursts of strange screams in the forest from time to time, Murong Chen pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished, he had set up many organs on the periphery of the camp to protect their safety, but Murong Chen was still not at ease, he had to guard here, because most of these people had no combat effectiveness, and the few young men sent by the village chief were not very good at martial arts, but they had brute strength.

Murong Chen and the young men took turns to keep vigil to protect everyone's safety, two hours passed, safe and sound, two young men came to replace him, Murong Chen confessed a few words to them, and then fell asleep in the blanket leaning against the tree, but he just entered the dream fragrance in a daze, and suddenly he heard the sound of slowly moving in four directions, it was the sound of footsteps, and it was the footsteps of people with high martial arts.

He immediately woke up, and slowly got up, and greeted everyone, and everyone crawled under the carriage, hiding in the blanket and secretly watching this qiē. Murong Chen beckoned a few young men to hide in the trees, holding bows and arrows and preparing to block them. He leaned against a large tree and listened carefully. Four passers-by, with two or three people in each direction, their martial arts skills are not low, and they are tiptoeing towards here.

Obviously, these people are here to flank them, but why are they people from the rivers and lakes? Could it be that there are also masters among the officers and soldiers? Murong Chen thought in wonder, he now had to deal with all the people first, so he motioned for everyone not to move, and he arched over and crawled over the bushes to the east. There is no master's demeanor at all. It's an eye-popping surprise. But Murong Chen's training since he was a child only told him what an effective means of attack was, so he didn't care about any style, that was a matter of celebrities in the rivers and lakes, he never thought he was a celebrity, all he had to do was to quickly and simply knock down the opponent, without any grace.

He crawled, like a snake, and gradually approached the group of men and horses to the east, and he crawled in the grass, and looked carefully, only to see two men one in front of the other, about three paces apart, slowly lowering their bodies, moving in the direction of the fire. Murong Chen cut several sharp branches with a knife, tied them to the branches one by one, and then put them on the way they must enter, and then hid next to him with a rattan in his hand, he saw that the first person had just raised his foot and stepped over the vine, and when the second person was about to step over, he pulled the vine, and the second person was caught off guard and immediately rushed forward, and the person in front heard the cry of the person behind, and immediately turned around and hugged the person who was about to fall, just when they were hugging each other, Murong Chen's fist had already arrived, and it smashed on the necks of the two people, and the two people had fallen to the ground before they could react, fell on the sharpened upside-down branch designed by Murong Chen, only to hear a pop, and the two of them never got up again. As soon as they fell to the ground, they made a noise that was immediately heard by the other people in the other three directions, and they all stopped, led by a man from the south who whistled and learned the sound of birds, and it seemed that this was their means of communication. After a while, there were three birdsongs, and when the man in the south heard them, he nodded and let out another birdsong, and it seemed that he had not noticed anything unusual and continued to move forward.
