Chapter 333: Swinging the Blade from the Sky to Rob the Escort Car (1)
That night, no one in Yidu City expected that the legendary birthday card would be mixed in with the carts of grain and grass, passing by them quietly through the streets, and The old governor and the two Yu Hou also did not expect that they would escort the birthday card to the designated Yanwei Escort Bureau, but the person who delivered it would no longer be from the Daming Mansion.
Just like that, as if nothing had happened, and as if everything was running normally, the old governor and the two Yuhou changed the clothes of the escort agency under the arrangement of Yang Zhi, mixed with the minions of Erlong Mountain, and together they The small box containing the birthday card was moved to the escort cars. There were ten cars in total, and each car had the flag of the Yanwei Escort Bureau. After everything was settled, at dawn, the group set off safely on the road. .
Not long after Yang Zhi and his group left, Lieutenant General Qin Fei gathered elite troops according to Yang Zhi's previous arrangements and followed them at a distance of fifty miles.
Yang Zhi and his group walked smoothly. Everything was as he expected. There were no strongmen blocking the way, and there were no signs of robbers. On the contrary, Qin Fei's troops encountered enemies everywhere along the way and killed them one after another. Fortunately, I followed Yang Zhi along the way and gained some experience and skills in dealing with the bandits. My elite soldiers also came over one after another to kill the bandits. The bandits were not surprised at all. The soldiers drew the attention of the bandits. All the power was attracted to his body, and Yang Zhi and his gang walked away easily, and the distance between the two couldn't help but widen.
Yang Zhi originally had no intention of relying on the strength of those elite soldiers to pass through Zijin Mountain and reach Erlong Mountain on the Qingzhou ground. At that time, these elite soldiers were no longer his right-hand man, but became an obstacle. Now they are restrained The ambushes on the left and right will have nothing to do with them once they pass the Purple Mountain. It would be a good thing to get rid of them early.
Yang Zhi was planning in his mind to walk all the way down. The gangsters in Erlong Mountain were holding the birthday card with unspeakable joy in their hearts, and the pace at their feet could not help but be three minutes faster. However, the boss couldn't care less about those two Yu Hou didn't know the reason, but it was very difficult to follow them. He thought that if he continued like this, he would vomit blood and die before reaching Bianliang, Tokyo. However, the old man always mentioned that he needed to rest for a while. Yang Zhi's expression would change. At first he would scold him, and at worst he would hit him with a cane whip. His ferocious appearance was completely different from before. The old Du Guan and the two Yu Hous were tortured both physically and mentally. How could they endure this? However, before leaving, Liang Zhongshu repeatedly told him that he must obey Yang Zhi's instructions in everything along the way. Only then did the old guard realize that Yang Zhi had laid this plan in the first place, and now he is in trouble. At this moment, the three of them had no other choice but to endure it. They could only hold their breath secretly in their hearts, thinking that they would give him a good look when they returned to Daming Mansion in Beijing. However, they did not know Unfortunately, in Yang Zhi's eyes, there was no difference between them and the dead. By the time they reached the foot of Erlong Mountain, they would be doomed.
Just like this, we walked along the official road without incident.
As soon as the sun rose, the group of people set out on the road. When the sun reached noon, they were still on the road. They walked until sunset and continued non-stop. The old governor and the two Yuhou didn't know why they were rushing to die and live. , However, the gangsters in Erlong Mountain knew very well that after all, the nights were long and the dreams were many. It would be better to go back to the village earlier to avoid accidents. When they robbed the birthday card last year, this was what they looked like. The two eldest brothers They escorted the carriages and horses with No. 100 and walked to Erlong Mountain day and night. The group of people pretending to be escorts walked in the dark moonlight in the wilderness.
Unknowingly, he came to a valley with steep cliffs. He saw that there were fewer and fewer flat places, and more and more jagged and strange rocks. Yang Zhi looked around and saw that both sides were hundreds of feet high. Steep cliffs stretch down for dozens of miles. A pipeline passes through this canyon. It is really uncomfortable just to look at it. Since ancient times, there has been no such thing in such a steep canyon. What is a good route for marching? Whenever you are marching and fighting, you will often hear a cannon blast in the middle of the road or see a command flag being waved, rolling lime bottles, arrows, and javelins, accompanied by the earth-shattering screams of death from ghosts and gods. It will come overwhelmingly, and often the group of people below the valley will be frightened to death by this sudden disaster, but they will still be killed with their heads broken and bleeding.
At this moment, such terrifying scenes appeared in Yang Zhi's mind. Fearing that there might be an ambush and falling into a trap, Yang Zhi had to re-examine this familiar valley.
Logically speaking, this is the boundary of Zijin Mountain. If you want to go to Erlong Mountain, you must take this road, otherwise you have to climb the two mountains of Zijin Mountain. This is also a matter of helplessness. On this section, robbery It happens from time to time that single guests will not leave and have to gather dozens or hundreds of people before they dare to pass.
I passed by here last year when I picked up the birthday card, and it was also midnight. At that time, Yang Zhi was a little worried. However, Lu Zhishen was an artist and a brave man. After some relief, Yang Zhi and others escorted the car over. It was indeed okay. It was very troublesome, but today, this same sense of foreboding has doubled with time. Standing under this canyon, Yang Zhi couldn't help but look up at the dark road ahead, and couldn't help but feel secretly worried about the unknown future.
Lu Zhishen saw Yang Zhi stop, then came forward and patted Yang Zhi on the shoulder. Although he didn't say a word, Yang Zhi knew the meaning, "Don't worry, I have everything."
Between brothers, this sentence is actually enough.
Yang Zhi took a deep breath, as if he had swallowed the sticky darkness into his heart. The cool breath suppressed the fear that came from nowhere in his heart. Yang Zhi secretly clenched the knife in his hand and lowered his voice. He said: "Everyone, be careful," and then slowly took the knife out of its sheath.
The twenty minions behind him also knew that things were not peaceful here, so they became more cautious and carefully stared at the pitch-black space above their heads. They unsheathed their swords one by one as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
When the old governor and the two Yu Hou looked at the reactions of these people, they seemed to be enveloped by this invisible tense atmosphere. They did not dare to take a breath, and the nerves in their whole bodies were tense, and they suddenly forgot about hunger. , forgetting his fatigue, it seemed that there was a ghost coming to kill him in the invisible darkness in front of him, the old governor also became nervous, secretly pushed the Yu Hou next to him, and asked for his simple knife from him, He no longer disliked Shen and carried it in his hand obediently.
The group of people began to march toward the official road in the canyon with their swords drawn. In this silence, there was only the sound of the footsteps of the group of people, which was aroused and reverberated from there. There was no unnecessary sound, but everyone had their own sound. of worry.
Yang Zhi tried his best to hold on to his breath step by step and walked lightly on this road, but he still felt very uncomfortable. In this canyon that blocked the sky and the sun, the dim moonlight only allowed him to see ten steps away. The scenery, but an indescribable feeling made him feel uncomfortable all over. No matter how he raised his head and looked up, there was a mysterious and boundless black. And in this darkness, Yang Zhi felt that there was always that pair of Eyes fixed on his body, Yang Zhi always felt that with each step he took, a three-finger-wide vital wound might suddenly burst out on his back, accompanied by a scalding hot wound. The blood drained away all his life. For this reason, Yang Zhi took every step he took carefully and cherished it.
And at this moment, on the two cliffs that stand taller than the sky, there is indeed such a person. His eyes can see through the rich darkness perfectly, watching Yang Zhi take a firm step step by step...
At the same time, a man with three mating green snakes tattooed on the back of his neck appeared on the ruined plank road halfway up the cliff. The man was wearing a black square hat with two short trousers on both sides of the square hat. Short brown bird feathers, a set of night clothes that tightly outline the man's strong muscles, and a red and black cloak covering his body, like a bat, melting the whole person into the darkness of the cliff inside.
This man had a pair of triangular eyes, staring straight at the row of blurry figures below, with an imperceptible evil smile drawn at the corner of his mouth.
That's right, this person is Ni Bat, the helmsman of the Flying Helm from the Spirit Snake Cult. Ever since he got the detailed information from the Spirit Snake Cult's spying in Daming Mansion in Beijing, preparations have been started here, and when Yang Zhi and his group enter Qingzhou From the moment they arrived on the ground, the Spirit Snake Cult has been keeping a close eye on them from many sides. No matter when Yang Zhi leaves the city or how he disguises himself, the Spirit Snake Cult people only focus on the "key points" and keep a close eye on Yang Zhi and the birthday card. , and at the moment, when Yang Zhi had finally entered the ambush circle pre-designed by the Spirit Snake Cult, Ni Bat could not help but reveal a cunning smile.
Ni Bat looked down from here and could not clearly see the movements of the group of people at the bottom of the valley. However, in their slow and swaying movement, they could make out an outline of black shadows. However, in Ni Bat's heart, no matter how prepared this group of people were, , no matter how powerful it is, he is not afraid of anyone who comes, because at this moment, he has prepared the best greeting gift in his hands. This is a killing move that Ni Bat has carefully prepared with all his heart and soul. It is fast and powerful.
Ni Bat looked down at the group of men and horses walking tremblingly in the canyon like a heavenly being. The slightly moist hand he held tightly seemed to hold all the power of life and death for this group of people. He didn't know that, in Above him, there is a handsome young man standing in the wind, quietly looking at everything in the valley...
