The road into the canyon is winding and winding, and when you go deep into the valley, you can no longer see the place, and now it is just after noon, the heavy snow has long stopped, but in the valley ahead, a layer of thick fog floats in the valley, and the sky cannot shine in, giving people an inexplicable deep and dark feeling.

There is no trace of the underworld at Taniguchi.

This is a very reasonable thing, the Luyuan Canyon is more than 30 miles long, even if the Chang brothers want to intercept it, they will never arrange people and horses at the mouth of the valley to startle the snakes, but will definitely ambush in the most dangerous place in the canyon.

When the caravan entered the valley, Yi Ruoying accompanied her on horseback, but she could better understand the gloom in the valley. The valley was filled with fog that could not be seen far as the eye could see, and the sky above had turned into a glimmer, and the sound of wheels and horses' hooves echoed and rumbled between the rock walls, except for the strings of wind chimes hanging from the carriages.

If it is a thirty-mile flat road, it will take less than an hour for the carriage and horses to pass at full speed, but the road in this canyon is not only tortuous and narrow, but also uneven, wet and slippery, and the mules and horses are extremely difficult to walk on it, and it is much slower than usual, and after half an hour, the convoy has only advanced less than ten miles.

But at this moment, Yi Ruoying's ears faintly heard the sound of water in the distance, but she heard Nahuo Steward shouting: "There is the Dabu River ahead, let's move forward quickly, as long as we cross this river, it will be a flat road!"

Moving forward, the sound of the water had become so loud that it was almost deafening. The road turned a corner, but I saw a very large waterfall in front of me, and it turned out that the sound of the water was all from this waterfall.

The waterfall is 100 zhang high and 40 zhang wide, and it flows straight down from the rock wall and falls into the deep pool below. The water in this deep pool formed a river that passed through the middle of the canyon and flowed deep into the earth from the other side of the rock crevice.

It turns out that the "Dabu River" mentioned by Steward Huo is a river buried in the bottom of the Nanling Mountains, and this canyon is hundreds of zhang deep underground, cutting across this river, only to form such a spectacular scene of a waterfall in the canyon.

The river crosses the gorge and has a pontoon bridge over the river ahead, but it is the only way forward. The pontoon bridge is made of logs, strung with iron chains, undulating and floating on the surface of the river, the bridge is more than 20 zhang long, but the bridge body is only more than one zhang wide, barely allowing carriages to pass.

At the other end of the bridge, a tall red horse stood in the middle of the road, riding on horseback was a middle-aged man in a black cloak, and a long sword with a black sheath hanging from the side of the saddle bridge. This man was six feet tall, and although he was not very tall, his face was very fierce, and his eyes were dark, which made people feel fearful.

Behind him, there were more than twenty men armed with knives and guns.

The Sopranos have finally appeared!

Although Yi Ruoying didn't know the middle-aged man on the horse, she could also guess from his form and the long sword hanging on the saddle bridge that this person must be the younger brother of the Chang brothers, Chang Feixu.

The two brothers of the Chang family use a knife, one uses a sword, the elder brother often falls the flower of the "falling flower ruthless knife technique" and the younger brother Chang Feihua's "willow leaf chasing wind sword" are very famous in the rivers and lakes, and legend has it that the two of them also have a set of sword joint attack techniques, called "moving the wind trick", it is even more extraordinary, even the head of the four major sects in the white road may not be able to beat.

Because of this, the two brothers were able to rank in the top 100 on the "Black Wind Record" and become one of the most difficult characters in the underworld in Guangdong.

And they are also strongmen on the underworld, and the more than 20 men behind Chang Feixu are not at all comparable to those bandit minions under the "Golden Bald Toutuo". Although the bandits under the "Golden Bald Tuo" can be called fierce on the surface, they are a chaotic swarm of bees when attacking and defending, and they are a group of rabble. However, these more than 20 men were neatly arranged, horizontal in the middle of the road, obviously in formation, just from the way they stood, it could be seen that it was extremely orderly, and the momentum was amazing, which made people feel murderous.

This is the difference between the elite men and horses of the underworld and the bandits, if the gang of "Golden Bald Heads" fights with these people, I am afraid that they will be killed cleanly in a few faces.

Chang Feixu set up people and horses at the end of the pontoon bridge, the terrain chosen is also extremely beneficial to them, this bridge is the only way to cross the river, and it is very narrow, as long as you hold the square inch of the bridge, even if thousands of troops and horses come, don't want to rush through.

Before the caravan of the "Dingyuan Firm" reached the front of the pontoon bridge, it heard a voice like a broken gong shouting on the other side of the bridge:

"This road has been sealed, no one is allowed to go on the bridge, otherwise they will be killed!"

Steward Huo, who was riding a horse in front of the convoy, hurriedly ordered to stop, and in the shouts of a group of coachmen, the thirteen carts, together with the carriages of Hua Bushi and others, all stopped in front of the pontoon bridge.

Steward Huo shouted loudly: "Are the friends on the Yuejing Road on the other side of the bridge? We are the grain transport convoy of the 'Dingyuan Firm' of the Chai Dashan family in Nanao, transporting grain from Hunan Border, and also carrying the family's relatives, we have obtained the permission of the Leng Alliance Lord, please make it convenient for you to let you go!"

The other end of the bridge fell silent for a while, as if discussing something, and after a long time, the broken gong-like voice shouted again: "What is your name?

Steward Huo said: "In Xia Huo Yifan, he is the head of the caravan, and he holds the letter of the leader of the Leng Alliance as a basis. ”

The man on the other side said: "You cross the bridge alone, bring the letter over, and give it to our owner for confirmation!"

Steward Huo should claim that it was, and urged the horse to walk on the pontoon bridge and head to the opposite bank.

Hua Bushi's carriage was in the Zuihou of the convoy, far away from the front team, and Yi Ruoying disguised herself as an accompanying maid and followed the carriage. At this time, when she saw Steward Huo walking across the bridge, she couldn't help but feel worried and worried. When Steward Huo arrived over there alone, if he secretly informed Chang Feixu of their group, this trick to get through the trick would naturally fail, and he was afraid that there would be a tear up immediately.

If this happens, you must first strike strong, quickly rush to the opposite bank, although the Dabu River is only more than 30 zhang wide, but if the other party cuts the pontoon bridge, and then want to take Mr. Ma Da across the river is much more difficult!

Fortunately, although there are masters such as Chang Feixu on the other side, there are only more than 20 people after all, and the "Jingci Lin'an" and the "Evil Dog Gate" can also have a fight.

Yi Ruoying's weapon "Purple Sword Golden Ring" was too conspicuous, so she didn't take it with her, but hid it in the carriage of the carriage. With a slight ride on her horse, she leaned to the side of the carriage, and as soon as the situation changed, she immediately took out her weapon.

At this time, she heard someone in the carriage whispering: "Senior Sister Ruoying, don't act rashly, you take a closer look at the cliffs on both sides." ”

It was Myoshin Shita who was sitting in the carriage who said this.

Yi Ruoying looked at the cliffs on both sides as she said. This cliff is quite steep, rocky, and there are many weeds and shrubs growing on it, and there is nothing wrong with it at a cursory glance, but when Yi Ruoying stares at it, she finds that among those strange rocks and grasses, there are many arrowhead tips exposed, and there is a faint cold light of the blade flashing. If it weren't for her long-term practice of martial arts, her eyesight, and her careful observation by her senior sister, she would definitely not have been able to find it.

It turned out that the more than 20 people on the other side at the head of the bridge were just a cover to attract attention, and the real brigade of men and horses was ambushed on the cliffs on both sides! For a while, Yi Ruoying couldn't tell how many people were ambushed on the cliffs, but from the number of arrows, it can be seen that there were at least more than 100 people. No wonder among the two brothers of the Chang family, only the second eldest Chang Feixu stood at the head of the bridge, thinking that the boss of the Chang family must be commanding those ambushed archers on the cliff.

The terrain is very treacherous, with rocky cliffs on both sides being far apart, and pontoon bridges and convoys within range of the enemy's arrows. Under such circumstances, if there is any change in their group, I am afraid that before they can rush to the bridge, they will be pierced by hundreds of arrows shot from the cliff!

At this time, Steward Huo had already ridden across the pontoon bridge and came to the bridgehead on the opposite bank. Yi Ruoying looked from afar, only to see him jump off the horse, walk in front of Chang Feixu, and after bowing his hand, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the second child of the Chang family.

Chang Feixu took the letter and looked at it for a while, and then interrogated Huo Yifan, but Huo Yifan replied with a gesture. Due to the distance of dozens of zhang, Yi Ruoying and the others could only see Steward Huo and Chang Feixu talking on the opposite side, but as for what they said, they couldn't hear it at all.

Hua Bushi and Mr. Ma Da hid in the luggage compartment and couldn't see it, Yi Ruoying, Miao Zhen Shitai, Zhu Hong, Bai Yiling and others, everyone's hearts were in their throats at this moment, and they didn't know if Steward Huo could hide Chang Feifu, or if he had already leaked the secret of everyone's hiding.

Although Steward Huo didn't have a long time to cross the bridge, Yi Ruoying and the others felt as if they had waited for a few hours. It wasn't until Zuihou Chang Feixu finally finished asking questions that he could only hear the gong-like voice on the other side of the river shouting: "Listen to the people on the other side! Drive the carts across the river one by one, and we will check them one by one!"

Until now, the coachmen had to follow the instructions to drive across the river. I saw that the driver of a large cart in the front drove the mules and horses with a whip, drove the cart onto the pontoon bridge, and drove slowly to the opposite bank. Some people even held a portrait and compared the appearance of the person driving the car.

When the first car was inspected, the man on the other side of the river shouted and called for the second car to come over.

I watched the caravan caravan drive across the river one after another, and as soon as each car reached the opposite bank, it was stopped and searched by the underworld minions. Seeing such a situation, Yi Ruoying's heart was also a little relieved, so it seemed that the Huo steward did not leak the fact that Mr. Ma Da was hiding in a carriage in Zuihou, so the people in the underworld would check the vehicles one by one.
