After leaving Qian'er Town, Qin Zhong protected Wang Langzhong's master and apprentice and went straight to the north. A lantern was hung on the car, and the dim yellow light was shaky, but it could not reflect a patch of light as big as a palm. There were no pedestrians along the way.
, only the donkey cart made a rhythmic squeaking sound.
Qin Chong followed the car on horseback. Just in case, he took off the iron gun and carried it in his hand. He looked around from time to time, but couldn't see anything clearly.
At this time, the window at the back of the car was gently pushed open, and Xiao He poked his head out.
"What's on the horse's back?" Xiaohe asked curiously as he saw four or five large and small bags hanging on Qin Chong's horse.
"Money." Qin Zhong raised his hand, patted the baggage, and said seriously.
"Exactly." Xiao He curled his lips, not believing it at all. Suddenly, Xiao He remembered the gifts from Leigong Fort. At that time, they were piled up in a yard. They were gold, silver, silk and satin, which could dazzle people.
"You really don't want the gift from Thunder Palace?"
"Those things are hot to touch." Qin Zhong nodded and said.
In the evening, Shi Yong and others discussed how to deal with the gifts, and Xiaohe heard it nearby. The old ghost suggested taking away the gold and silver and burning the rest; Liu Hou said that the herbs should be given to Wang Langzhong and the rest should be distributed to the people of Qian'er Town;
But Shi Yong said that they all stayed in the yard and no one moved an inch.
"The gifts from Lei Gongbao are not easy to accept." Xiaohe has never seen a soldier who does not like money. Therefore, she has a better impression of Qin Zhong.
According to the old ghost's analysis, the gift from Leigongbao may have two meanings. One is to test the character of Xiaoqiying. If he is a greedy person, Leigongbao will probably use bribery; the other is to plant a poisonous arrow and counterattack.
If you turn around, you can frame the Xiaoqi camp.
At that time, Shi Yong accepted the gift with the intention of confusing Leigong Bao.
It was about thirty miles from Qian'er Town to Pucheng. However, the road was difficult to travel at night, and the donkey cart was swaying and could not go any faster. Qin Zhongcai felt that if he traveled at this speed, it would not be dawn until Pucheng County.
The key is that on the way, you have to guard against the Leigong Fort to intercept and kill.
Everyone analyzed that if there was an interception at Leigong Fort, it must be on the way to the west. However, no one can conclude that if you go north, you will not encounter Leigong Fort. After all, there is also a road to Yanzhou to the north, and it is closer.
.It’s just that the road is a little more difficult to navigate through mountains and rivers.
It is very tiring to be alert all the time. After walking for about two hours, Qin Zhong felt sleepy. He sat lazily on the horse, closed his eyes slightly and nodded his head to take a nap. He didn't even have an iron gun.
He carried it again and placed it across the iron lintel.
"Little brother Qin." At this time, Wang Langzhong turned around and called.
"Ah?" Qin Zhong was agitated and woke up immediately. "What's the matter with Mr. Wang?"
"Let's take a rest." Wang Langzhong said with a wry smile, "It's really hard to endure traveling at night like this."
"Okay." Qin Zhong pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then he looked into the distance, trying to find a place to rest.
At this time, they were far away from Qian'er, so there shouldn't be any more interceptions, right? Qin Chong guessed in his heart. In fact, he also wanted to rest, and he didn't pay attention to the combat power of Leigong Fort at all. No.
Just come, if you really come, it will only be a fight.
A hundred steps ahead, there is a dark forest, just right for a rest.
"Just rest in the forest, I'll go over and take a look first." Qin Zhong said, and ran forward with his horse under his belly.
The forest is right on the roadside, with a faint green color under the faint starlight. The breeze is swaying, and the leaves rustle softly. Wild birds are chirping softly in the forest, and there are also frogs and unknown insects. It is very lively. Qin
Zhong explored the edge of the forest, but did not go deeper to check.
He dismounted and cleared a place, picked up some dry branches, and lit a fire.
The bright firelight immediately dispelled the gloom in the forest. Through the firelight, Qin Zhong could clearly see the situation in the forest. The ground under his feet was very smooth. He thought passers-by often rested here. Looking around, he saw piles of ashes scattered.
, there are traces of fire everywhere.
This forest is quite large, perhaps because the darkness affects the view, and the edges are completely invisible at a glance.
After a while, the donkey cart came over. Wang Langzhong often traveled around the country, and sleeping in the open air was a trivial matter. He unloaded the donkey very familiarly, took it aside and tied it to a tree, and let the sweating donkey rest. Then he patted the carriage.
, wake up the sleeping Xiaohe.
Xiao He got out of the car in a daze, yawning and stretching in an incomprehensible way. Along the way, she was suffocated in the small car, and her bones were about to break. "Master, why do you need to wake up?"
What about you? The pig's trotters are so fragrant, but it's a pity that I only ate half of them."
Xiaohe waved his hands and acted coquettishly with the master, clicking his lips, still reminiscing about the pig's trotters in his dream.
Qin Zhong had a weird look on his face, and he held back his laughter. The little girl was probably suffering from sleep hysteria, and she had long forgotten that Qin Zhong was there. On the other hand, Wang Langzhong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and scolded angrily, "You
You silly girl, why don't you wake up quickly? Someone is watching."
"Who is it?" Xiao He turned around suddenly and came face to face with Qin Zhong.
"Pig's trotters are so fragrant." Qin Zhong teased Xiao He with a smirk.
"Ah." Xiaohe was really frightened and screamed suddenly.
Qin Zhong covered his ears in pain, turned around and ran away. Xiaohe was ashamed and annoyed, and chased after Qin Zhong with a look of gnashing his teeth. Wang Langzhong let them make trouble, laughed, and didn't care.
They took some blankets, spread them on the ground, and began to meditate with their eyes closed.
Finally he caught up with Qin Zhong and kicked his calf twice hard, still feeling so angry that he refused to give up.
"You didn't see anything." Xiaohe threatened.
"I didn't look, I didn't see, I didn't see anything." Qin Chong said softly, but with a wicked smile on his face.
"Are you still laughing? Are you still laughing?" Xiaohe became annoyed again and kicked his feet wildly.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh. I promise, I didn't see or hear anything." Qin Chong quickly begged for mercy.
"Humph." Xiaohe glared at Qin Zhong fiercely, turned around and got into the car.
Qin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, the little girl really can't be offended. It was obviously her own fault, but it was Qin Zhong's fault. It was unreasonable. He cursed and found a big tree to lean against.
He sat on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated.
Not long after he sat down, he heard Xiaohe get out of the car again and walk towards him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao He holding a piece of felt, stuffing it into his arms, turning around and going back to the car.
"Thank you, Miss Xiaohe." Qin Zhong unfolded the felt and spread it, and said to the donkey cart.
"Humph." There was a grunt in the carriage, but there was no more movement.
The woods became quiet. There were not many branches on the fire, and it was about to burn out. But at this moment, Qin Zhong's ears moved, as if he noticed something, and he suddenly leaned down on the ground, his ears pressed to the ground. There was a faint sound.
You can hear the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, heading towards the woods.
Qin Chong jumped up and grabbed the iron gun. A stampede under his feet stamped out the fire, and walked quickly to the edge of the forest. He did not make a sound to wake up Wang Langzhong. He was not sure who was coming, so there was no need to be overly nervous.
.Maybe he is a passer-by like them?
Through the starlight, he could vaguely see a group of people coming from north to south. When he got closer, Qin Chong finally made out that they were a group of Taoist priests, seven or eight men and women, all with swords on their hands or behind their backs.
.Everyone has a light and strong body, and their walking speed is much faster than ordinary people.
Qin Chong frowned, unable to judge the origin of these Taoist priests. However, because he killed the Taoist priests during the day, he became wary of the Taoist priests and was very reluctant to interact with the Taoist priests again. Seeing that these people were getting closer and closer.
, Qin Zhong hid behind the tree and slowly tightened his grip on the iron gun.
"Second Senior Brother, let's take a rest here, my little sister really can't walk anymore." A female Taoist priest said softly.
"Yes, Second Senior Brother, let's take a rest before leaving. Uncle Senior said, just arrive at dawn." Someone else advised.
"Okay, just rest here for a while."
A few people left the road and walked toward the woods. Qin Zhong sighed secretly, feeling very helpless. He didn't want to meet, but they did. The more they feared, the more they would get the same. As long as these Taoist priests entered the woods, they would naturally find the carriage.
, there is no way to hide, we can only face it.
Qin Chong moved slightly and was immediately noticed by the Taoist priests.
"Who? Who is there?" A Taoist priest drew his sword and shouted in the direction where Qin Zhong was hiding.
"It turns out they are some Taoist priests." Qin Zhong stood up, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Let's miss Sutou on the way and take a rest here."
"Oh, that's it." The Taoist priest took back his long sword and said, "We are also on our way and want to rest here for a while, so we won't disturb you too much."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Qin Chonggong cupped his hands and responded politely.
Qin Zhong was about to turn around and walk away when he saw a person rushing out from the group of Taoist priests. He took a few steps closer and looked at Qin Zhong carefully. Suddenly, Qin Zhong's heart tightened. Before the Taoist priest could say anything, he had already recognized this person.
It was the middle-aged Taoist priest who escaped at noon.
The Taoist priest also recognized Qin Chong, shouted loudly, drew his sword and stabbed Qin Chong.
"It's him, it's him, he killed the Seventh Junior Brother." The Taoist shouted while his sword was like a gusting rain.
With a shout, seven or eight Taoist priests all drew out their swords, changed their positions, and surrounded Qin Zhong. They did not attack all, but guarded the four sides to prevent Qin Zhong from escaping. There were two female Taoist priests who ignored him.
He scolded and jumped to join the battle group.
Qin Chong was on guard for a long time, but he didn't panic. He flicked his spear and fought with the three of them.
As soon as they made contact, there were only two crisp sounds of "ding dong, ding dong". The long swords in the hands of the two female Taoist priests were knocked out by the iron spears. The two female Taoist priests were frightened and turned over and backed away, staring at Qin in shock.
It's so heavy that I couldn't believe it for a moment.
At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest also suffered a big loss. When he first saw Qin Zhong, he was so angry that he forgot about Qin Zhong's divine power. Seeing Qin Zhong's spear sweeping across, he raised his sword and tried to block it. As a result, he was blocked by a force.
After being shaken hard, my arm became numb and I lost all feeling.
In an instant, three people attacked Qin Zhong, two of them lost their weapons, and one was knocked back.
The middle-aged Taoist priest finally calmed down and remembered the arrow that Qin Zhong shot his junior brother. Unconsciously, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Although he was a young man in front of him, he was a ruthless murderer with innate supernatural power. If he accidentally broke it,
Here, that would be too much of a loss.
With this thought in mind, the middle-aged Taoist priest slowly took a step back, no longer rushing forward to attack, and just stared at Qin Chong angrily.
"Humph." A Taoist priest snorted coldly and walked towards Qin Zhong.
"Second Senior Brother, be careful, this guy is very strong." the middle-aged Taoist priest warned.
"It's just brute strength." The second senior brother was particularly disdainful of this, and kept walking until he was in front of Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong looked at this man, who was about fifty years old, with three strands of long beard under his chin, and he had an air of immortality.
He had a bone-chilling demeanor, but his face was gloomy at this moment, revealing a cold murderous intent.
"Throw away your weapons and tie your hands. The old Taoist may give you a happy experience."
"If you fight, go ahead and get out." Qin Zhong didn't have any good impression of these Taoist priests.
"Bad man, the old Taoist will take you in now." The old Taoist's eyes flashed with evil intent, he flicked his sleeves and swung his robe, and slapped Qin Zhong's front door with his palm.
Qin Zhong made a mistake with his foot, an iron spear with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, and a sharp roar swept towards the old Taoist's waist.
The old man did not fight hard. He turned around to avoid the spear point, and hit Qin Chong's waist and ribs with his palm again. In an instant, the two of them were fighting together. The iron spear was powerful and heavy, and the sharp whistle was like a violent storm.
, the gun never leaves the vital point of Lao Dao. Lao Dao moves around in a flash, and his body is extremely flexible.
After more than ten rounds, the two of them did not have a solid move, as if they were practicing martial arts. However, Qin Chong was in the middle of it, but his heart was in his throat, and he became more and more cautious. At this time, he only felt
The more I beat him, the more I felt suffocated, and all my strength was nowhere to be used.
The old Taoist relied on his physical skills to take advantage of Qin Chongyou's fight.
In the midst of the lightning and flints, the old Taoist slapped him with another palm. Qin Zhong raised his gun horizontally, but when he reached halfway, the old Taoist suddenly changed his palm into a claw, grabbed it out diagonally, grabbed Qin Zhong's wrist, and pushed Qin Zhong.
Zhong felt a strong impact and quickly retreated.
But it was too late, the old Taoist stepped forward and struck Qin Zhong in the lower abdomen with a fierce palm.
"Bang." Qin Zhong suffered severe pain in his abdomen, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body was knocked away. He landed with a bang and took four or five steps back before he could stabilize his body.
The old Taoist jumped up and was already chasing him, not giving Qin Zhong any chance to breathe.
