Chapter Twenty-Three Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 23 Jianghu

Wang Jiu is an escort leader who travels around the world. He is about thirty years old, more than nine feet tall, with a bald head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, clean shaven, wearing a light blue escort uniform, and carrying a tiger on his back.

With a machete on his back and cowhide boots on his feet, he is very powerful, more than enough to intimidate a bunch of young people.

This time Wang Jiu led a team to escort a group of escorts from Ningzhou to Jingzhou. The convoy consisted mainly of seven or eight carriages, and there were about twenty escorts accompanying them, all of whom were powerful and powerful.

The leader was Wang Jiu, majestic, with a horse behind him carrying a big flag, and a letter with four big characters - Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. The convoy traveled day and night, but no one showed signs of fatigue. They were well-trained, and everyone was obviously an elite.

scholar.

The silk tea leaves in this carriage are the overt escorts, while the old man and the young man sitting in one of the carriages are the secret escorts. The latter are the most important.

Zhenyuan Escort Agency is a time-honored brand of Ningzhou Escort Agency. It has been traveling to major prefectures and counties for more than 20 years. It has been a bloody journey and has dealt with heroes from all over the mountains and caves. The time-honored name of Zhenyuan Escort Agency is...

What is poured out with blood is the accumulation of countless corpses. It is the illustrious reputation accumulated bit by bit by the older generation of bodyguards who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives.

Wang Jiu joined the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau not as long as the older generation of escorts, but it is definitely not a short time in the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. In total, it is more than eight years. The position of Wang Jiu's escort chief is forged with real swords and guns, and it is very good.

He is highly regarded by the current head of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, so the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is very relieved when he leads the escort this time.

The sun sets in the west, and the horses' hooves compact.

The vigorous bodyguard carrying a large flag approached Wang Jiu and said with a smile: "Jiuye, ahead is Jingyang Slope. After this slope, there is the official road. It is only twenty miles away from the Jingzhou City Gate. We have to go to the city for business."

Afterwards, let’s take the brothers to drink flower wine.”

Wang Jiu said unhurriedly: "This transaction has been smooth sailing. Maybe the heroes of the green forest gave us a good escort in Zhenyuan, but we must not relax at all until we see the Jingzhou city wall."

Xiongjian just nodded and said, "I understand, little one."

In the penultimate carriage, an old man and a young man were sitting cross-legged. The old man was about five or sixty years old. He had a fair face and was dressed like a butler. He put his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes to relax. The young man, fifteen,

At the age of six, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she seems to have some male-female looks. She is far from Wang Jiu's majestic and masculine spirit. However, if a woman disguises herself as a man and puts on eyebrows and makeup, although she is not the most beautiful person in the world, she is still not the same.

Far away, he was holding a scroll of scriptures and studying them carefully. There were four books and five scriptures scattered around him in the carriage.

The young man put down his book, frowned slightly, raised the car curtain, and shouted to the bald leader: "Wang Jiu."

After hearing this, Wang Jiu turned around, galloped on his horse, and came to the young man as if walking on flat ground, and said, "What are your orders from the employer?"

"The carriages and horses are moving slowly. You send one person to Jingyang Slope to explore the road first, and return after crossing Jingyang Slope for 500 steps. Then send another person to explore behind, and return after 800 steps. This road is going too smoothly, and you will go to the back.

The quieter it is, it’s just because it’s too quiet, so quiet that you can’t hear the birds chirping in the forest, that’s why it feels wrong.”

Bald Wang Jiu suddenly remembered that when wild beasts hunt their prey, the birds have already become silent.

Immediately, cold sweat wet the skirt of bald Wang Jiu's clothes.

Under the arrangement of the bald Wang Jiu, the team deliberately slowed down its forward speed, and the two riders galloped away, one in front and one behind.

There are only a hundred steps left from Jingyangpo.

Before his employer could speak, the battle-experienced bald Wang Jiu sensed something was wrong and shouted loudly: "Stop, everyone is on level one alert."

According to the instructions of the small employer, the spies who had gone 500 steps to explore Jingyang Slope should have returned, but in the end there was still no news, not even the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

Bald Wang Jiu's expression changed dramatically.

On the Jingyang Slope, a tall horse appeared first. One person on the horse was holding two giant axes. The upper body was naked, and the appearance was arrogant and bloodthirsty.

Then fifty horsemen appeared from the trail, all wearing leather armor, half of the people in the front row had spears, and half of the people in the back row were holding bows and arrows, all of them laughing wildly.

The bald Wang Jiu made a quick decision, with a determined look on his face, and said loudly: "Everyone charges together and kill them."

The team of twenty people quickly formed a cone-shaped arrow formation, without any jerkiness or stagnation, and the horses charged forward uniformly.

Unexpectedly, dust was flying in front, and a wave of cavalry, numbering around thirty to forty people, came from Jingyangpo and charged forward boldly, blocking the way of the convoy.

"kill."

Without too many words, the troops from both sides launched a charge, fighting hand to hand and colliding with each other.

For a moment, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of string control, the sound of weapons being unsheathed, the sound of swords clashing, and the sounds of fighting between the two sides intertwined into a deadly requiem, with roars one after another, and lamentations one after another, like beating notes, jumping up and down.

The dance of death.

Beautiful and violent, the smell of blood is everywhere.

The old butler, who had been keeping his hands in his sleeves, slightly opened the curtain, opened his eyes, and said without changing his face: "Young Master, we are ambushed."

The young man with red lips and white teeth frowned slightly, picked up the book he had just put down, and said, "How long can they support it?"

"One stick of incense time."

The old butler reached out seemingly casually, grabbed a stray arrow that was shooting towards the carriage, stared at the iron arrow on the arrow shaft, smiled slightly and said: "If the man holding two giant axes doesn't take action."

The young man turned his head away, opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the naked man standing proudly on Jingyang Slope watching the battle, sighed slightly, and said: "Old housekeeper, you can tell where the other party came from.

What?"

The old housekeeper pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said with a bitter smile: "The only thing that is certain is that these are not ordinary robbers, but a well-trained private army, which should come from the elite guards of the family."

"Haha." The young man laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "It was probably the arms of my good-for-nothing brothers who intercepted me outside Jingzhou City and framed the blame on the bandits and grass bandits."

Bald Wang Jiu's eyes were red from death, and his body was covered in blood. This blood belonged to others as well as his own. The strong man carrying the flag beside him had long been shrouded in horse leather, and now he was the only one left standing.

“Kill, I’ll make enough money by killing one, but I’ll earn one by killing two.”

The bald Wang Jiu shouted loudly and charged forward fiercely without fear of death. At this time, a giant Xuanhua ax came towards him. The bald Wang Jiu held the tiger-back machete with both hands and slashed Huashan Mountain with one move, slashing towards the Xuanhua giant.

Then there was a "clang" sound, and the huge force from Xuanhua's giant ax actually broke through Bald Wang Jiu's tiger-back mountain knife, and the Bald Wang Jiu was split into two. Xuanhua's giant ax rotated in a circle, and returned to

In the hands of a strong man with naked upper body.

"Search."

The shirtless strong man said with a ferocious smile, and then walked forward with his arms in his arms.

The leather-armored knights around him either exchanged shots with the bodyguard who was still alive on the ground, or searched for the gold and silver on the bodyguard and put them into their arms, all laughing.

Soon, these leather-armored knights focused their attention on the belongings of these seven or eight carriages, jumped on the carriages one after another, and searched inside the carriages.

A sudden change occurred. A half-century-old man wearing a butler's uniform easily broke the necks of several leather-armored guards and strode out of the carriage with a sneer on his lips.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

A hail of arrows shot towards the old butler. The old butler flicked his long sleeves indifferently, and the arrows shot back one after another as if a spell had been cast, and the screams of the leather-armored guards were heard.

.

The naked-chested strong man's eyes narrowed, and he said with a grin: "It seems that he is still a practicing master. Brothers, get on top of your shoulders and chop him up."

"kill."

The long-haired leather-armored guards swarmed forward one after another. The old housekeeper, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, raised his palms into the void with a calm step. Each leather-armored guard exploded one after another, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Immediately, the naked-chested strong man carried two giant Xuanhua axes and charged away like a mad bull. The old butler made a circle with his left hand and quickly slapped several palms at the surrounding leather-armored guards with his right hand.

The bare-chested strong man raised the Xuanhua giant ax and slashed at the old housekeeper from the waist. The old butler's left hand stuck to the surface of the Xuanhua giant ax. With the help of the force, the naked-chested strong man suddenly fell sideways.

The ax accidentally injured several leather-armored guards around him.

At this time, a huge shadow appeared in the sky, spiraling down in the sky. A giant eagle about three feet in size landed on the ground, staring at them with giant eyes the size of a lantern. A man in gray robe jumped out from the back of the giant eagle.

An eight or nine-year-old boy and a gray wolf over one meter long.

The scene fell silent for an instant, and one could hear the drop of a pin, as everyone stared at the monster and the gray-robed boy who fell from the sky.

"Why don't you fight?" The boy in gray robe touched his nose and said, "I can't see clearly in the sky, so I want to get closer to see clearly."

The old butler closed his hands and clapped his hands in his sleeves. To be honest, he didn't take these soldiers and generals seriously, but the huge monster falling from the sky made him frightened and hesitant.

In the carriage, a young man with red lips and white teeth also stuck his head out and looked at the gray-robed boy and the giant monster falling from the sky. The gray wolf was automatically ignored, and the young man smiled at the gray-robed boy.

The boy in gray robe also smiled back.

"kill."

The bare-chested strong man got up from the ground, holding a giant Xuanhua ax, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the old housekeeper again. The surrounding leather-armored guards had to charge again. Most of the archers aimed at the carriage, bent their bows and nocked arrows at

As they entered carriage ###, the other half aimed their arrows at the giant monster and the boy in gray robes, then fastened their arrows on the string without firing.

The old housekeeper took out his hands that were folded in his sleeves. He no longer had any remaining strength to shake the internal energy in his body. With just a pair of fleshy palms, he aimed at the Xuanhua giant axe, and cut the naked man's neck from the side with a hand knife.

It turned out to be a life-threatening move.

The bare-chested strong man laughed ferociously, and with all his strength, he swung the Xuanhua ax at the old housekeeper's hands, trying to cut off the old housekeeper's arms.

"hiss."

The head that shot up to the sky still had a ferocious expression of death, and the headless body fell down with a crash. The old housekeeper's hand knife was the first to cut off the neck of the naked and strong man, and the other hand quickly slapped away the two Xuanhua giants.

The ax hit the leather-armored guard who came up, and the sounds of broken bones were heard.

Following the death of the naked-chested strong man, the remaining dozen or so leather-armored guards dispersed and fled, but without exception, they were all killed by the old housekeeper with a snap of his finger.

The boy in gray robe clapped his hands and said, "That's awesome. Is this old man also a monastic?"

The old butler refused to let down his guard at all. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's all some unattractive three-legged cat skills that made this young master laugh."

The boy in gray robe stood on the spot, glanced around, and said with a big mouth: "Did you kill all these people?"

The old housekeeper nodded first, then shook his head.

The boy in gray crouched down, holding his cheek, and asked: "Is it true or not?"

At this time, a six-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth, dressed as a scholar and wearing a scarf, walked out of the carriage and said to the boy in gray robe: "Are you going to Jingzhou too?"

"Jingzhou City?" the gray-robed boy repeated confusedly, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Is Jingzhou City fun? Are there any candied haws of sugar to eat?"

The young man with red lips and white teeth laughed dumbly and said: "It's not fun, but you can eat candied haws."

The boy in gray robe hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then we will go to Jingzhou City, as long as we can eat candied haws."

The young man with red lips and white teeth extended an invitation and said: "Then come along. My home is in Jingzhou City. We are destined to meet you. I will entertain you as a landlord."

"Young Master..." the old housekeeper whispered, but was immediately stopped by the eyes of the young man with red lips and white teeth.

"Okay." The boy in gray robe nodded in agreement and said, "I just can't find a place to go, so I'll just go to your house to eat and drink for free." Then, the boy in gray robe lightly covered his mouth.

The young man with red lips and white teeth laughed dumbly again, waved to the boy in gray robe and said, "Get in the car." He turned to the old housekeeper and said, "Old housekeeper, please be the coachman."

The old housekeeper nodded in agreement.

The boy in gray robe patted the blue-eyed goshawk's thigh. The green-eyed goshawk flapped its wings and flew into the sky, disappearing without a trace. The boy in gray robe touched the gray wolf's head and walked towards the carriage.
