Chapter 24 Dangerous Roads in Jianghu
Two figures, one black and one white, sat on the horse, quietly looking at the canyon in front of them.
There are no chirping insects, no chirping birds, no ape cries, no roaring beasts in the canyon, it is a bit unusually quiet.
There are only two sea greens floating in the sky.
Situ Mingyue asked nervously: "But was it caused by the fireworks asking for help just now?"
"No!"
After breaking through the fifth level of Qi refining, the maximum range of Shen Bi's spiritual consciousness has been increased to 150 meters, and the scene within the sky is panoramic.
Rows of well-trained crossbowmen, teams of orderly shooters, and a large number of thunder stones and rolling wood.
Although they were not wearing uniform uniforms, Shen Bi was very sure that these were officers and soldiers, or even the elite among them.
Shen Bi quickly found the commander of this group of officers and soldiers, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar.
The middle-aged man seemed to feel something. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the mouth of the valley. When he saw the black and white figure stopped at the mouth of the valley, he straightened his long beard and his eyes flickered. He didn't know what he was thinking.
'What a keen mental power!' Shen Bi secretly sighed in his heart. As a mortal, he could actually sense his spiritual detection. If this person has high qualifications for cultivating immortals, it is a pity that he was born in Daliang.
"Brother Shen, where is the ambush, why can't I see it?"
"Okay, we can leave. You'll know when we get in."
Shen Bi shook the reins and took the lead.
Seemingly accustomed to Shen Bi's way of speaking, Situ Mingyue followed closely without asking any more questions.
As soon as the two entered the mouth of the valley, a strong smell of blood rushed into the nostrils. Situ Mingyue choked and retched several times. As a result, the more he vomited, the heavier the smell of blood he inhaled became, and finally he vomited it out. .
After the feeling finally passed, she saw the scene in front of her that was like Shura Hell. People were shot into hedgehogs by arrows, pinned to the ground by spears, smashed into meat patties by thunder stones, and had their spines broken by rolling logs. , there are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood is almost flowing into a river.
There were even a few familiar ones that she seemed to have seen at the tea stall before.
The horses' hooves stepped forward slowly on the gurgling river of blood, and from time to time blood splashed onto the robes and boots of the two people.
Although Situ Mingyue was scared, she also knew that now was not the time to speak out. Since Shen Bi had made a judgment before and dared to lead her into the valley, he must have something to rely on.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the two of them walked out of the sky, so smoothly that Situ Mingyue felt incredible.
What she didn't know was that above the canyon, the middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar had already soaked his Confucian robe with cold sweat.
Ever since the black and white duo entered the canyon, a fierce murderous intent locked onto him, making him unable to move.
Ignoring the frequent glances from his men, he never dared to give the order to take action. It was not until the two people walked out of the canyon that the murderous intention was finally lifted. The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat on his head and let out a long sigh of relief.
This time the imperial court cooperated with the Three Pure Alliance to strangle the martial arts forces, but this kind of person was not included.
It's not like he has never seen any masters in the imperial court, and none of them put him under as much pressure as this person.
‘It’s quite interesting.’
Shen Bi nodded secretly. He was talented and knew how to assess the situation. It was no wonder that he could lead an army and sit in a high position in the court.
He also roughly saw the plan of the Three Pure Alliance, which was indeed not a serious organization.
Heavy breathing came from beside her, and Situ Mingyue patted her chest and said fearfully:
"It scared me to death, Brother Shen, it's hell there!"
"I also saw those escorts and business people at the tea stall before. They were obviously alive before..."
As he talked, the fear slowly subsided and was replaced by an indescribable emotion.
When Shen Bi saw this, he didn't say anything.
For Situ Mingyue, what happened today may be more than what she experienced in a year of purdah.
This is the first lesson she has experienced in the world. All her emotions can only be understood and adjusted by herself.
Such intrigues and bloody rivers and lakes may be completely different from the happy grudges she imagined.
After passing the sky, Mingyang Mountain is already in sight.
Although he already knew that this was a game between the imperial court and the Three Purities Alliance, Shen Bi still decided to take a look.
It doesn't matter whether the treasure is real or fake, as long as the secret book is real.
If even the secret books are fake, hey, then there is no need for the Sanqing Alliance to exist.
Tomorrow was the day the Sanqing Alliance agreed to go up the mountain, so the two of them went straight to the town at the foot of the mountain to find an inn.
The town at the foot of the mountain is called Mingyang Town, which is named after the nearby Mingyang Mountain. It is more appropriate to say that it is a village than a town.
Mingyang Town is located in a remote place, backed by mountains and isolated by valleys. The only access to the outside world is a dirt road two horses wide, which cannot be passed by larger carriages.
It was still early, and Shen Bi and his wife were riding slowly on their horses, surrounded by green plants. They looked at a lush green area, and the soil trampled by the horses' hooves from time to time was wrapped in the fragrance of green grass.
The two of them didn't speak, and seemed to be immersed in this paradise-like environment.
Situ Mingyue occasionally glanced at Shen Bi, filled with joy, feeling that it was a good thing to have such a big brother.
Drive!
The sudden sound of horse beating from behind broke the tranquility. Shen Bi frowned slightly. Anyone who had the atmosphere ruined would be very unhappy.
When I looked over with my spiritual sense, I saw a team of twenty people rushing towards them with their horses drawn up. They did not slow down even when they saw Shen Bi in front of them.
These people are all wearing cyan short-game uniforms, with the word "alliance" embroidered on their chests.
"The Sanqing Alliance is doing something, everyone waiting here should get out of the way quickly!"
"Anyone who blocks the road will be killed without mercy!"
Just when they were about to collide, the person behind him shouted loudly, obviously without any good intentions.
These people were the reinforcements attracted by Chief Scar's fireworks. They turned around but couldn't find the real murderer. All the witnesses died in the sky. They didn't even understand what happened. .
When I was feeling angry, I saw two figures in front of me and immediately found a target to vent my anger on.
Situ Mingyue was so frightened that she quickly adjusted her reins, but the road was so wide that she didn't know where to hide.
Shen Bi patted her shoulder lightly to reassure her, then he tipped his toes into the stirrups and flew off the white horse.
As soon as his figure hit the ground, an afterimage was left behind, and he was shot out. As grass clippings flew behind him, the entire right arm in his sleeve had turned pale gold.
He clenched his palms tightly and punched through the air!
The galloping horse in front was punched in the neck by him, knocking it over to the ground. The people and horses behind collided with each other, causing broken bones and tendons. No one on the 20th could get up.
He snorted coldly, and the Soul-eating Gu moved quickly through the crowd. By the time he returned to the white horse, the Soul-eating Gu had already returned to his dantian, and no one or the horse behind him made any sound.
Shen Bi's impression of the Sanqing League was extremely bad. This time on Mingyang Mountain, he planned to have a good meeting with this 'gangster'.
Situ Mingyue on the other side looked at Shen Bi's back sitting on the horse, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
