The pine forest is vast and boundless, and the snow on the ground is mottled and gray.
The snow is originally silver-white, but the snow in Guangdong, although it falls heavily, melts very quickly. When the sun shines, it quickly disappears, revealing patches of dark gray soil.
During this time of melting snow, the road is most muddy and difficult to walk on. If a horse's hooves step into a muddy puddle, he will immediately sink half a foot straight. It is not much different from walking in a swamp.
After escaping from the Grand Canyon, more than forty horses had been running for nearly half an hour, but there was still no sign of Longchuan City in front, and the pursuers behind them were approaching again!
The journey from Luyuan Grand Canyon to Longchuan City is less than a hundred miles, but after half a day of non-stop escape, all the mounts are exhausted, and even a distance of dozens of miles seems to be out of reach.
generally.
Master Miaojue's mount was injured by an arrow when it came out of the valley. It had stopped running and was abandoned. At this time, Master Miaojue was riding Jingxin's original mount, and the two young nuns Jingxin and Jingyu shared the same horse.
Riding on the back of a horse. Bai Yiling's mount was shot to death. After leaving the canyon, he and Chu Yiyi have been riding together.
The horses that pull carts in the merchant house are not suitable for riding and running. Five or six horses have fallen from exhaustion along the way. Those who have lost their mounts can only ride with others.
As a result, the group's escape speed was greatly affected.
Compared with the people who were fleeing for their lives, the Chang family brothers and the underworld men and horses behind them were chasing them much faster. After all, they were all riding authentic war horses, and they did not pull for a whole day like the horses of the caravan.
cart.
If the distance is only ten or eight miles, a master like Miaozhen Miaojue can abandon his horse and use Qinggong to run. Even if he takes Mr. Ma Da with him, it will still be a few minutes faster than running on horseback. But this place is still far away from Longchuan City.
For dozens of miles, there were no horses, and running on only two legs was too long, making it even more difficult to escape the pursuers.
Even so, several people from "Jingci Lin Nunnery" have already been protecting Mr. Ma Da. As soon as the pursuers behind him arrive, they will definitely take him to escape immediately.
"Master! These mounts have exhausted their strength. If they continue like this, they will definitely not be able to reach Longchuan City!" It was Zhu Hong who spoke. He clenched his fists and said, "Why don't you let me go back and fight with the Chang brothers for a while?
At least it can hold them back for some time!"
"No, if you try to stop them all by yourself, you will die!" Hua Bushi objected.
Of course he knew that most of the people's horses could no longer hold up, but it was not the last moment and there was still a glimmer of hope. He could not let Zhu Hong fight the underworld men and lose his life in vain.
But at this moment, Meng Huan who was running ahead suddenly heard shouting: "Oh no, there are also cavalry blocking the road ahead!"
Although the road here was muddy and difficult to navigate, it was much straighter than the rugged mountain road in the canyon. Hua Bushi stared into the distance and immediately saw fifty or sixty horses blocking the road a hundred feet ahead.
The knights were all dressed in black and had steel swords on their waists, making them look extremely tough.
Seeing this scene, Hua Bushi's heart suddenly sank.
With obstacles in front and pursuers behind, it seems that a fight is inevitable. And with the melee, the people from "Evil Dog Gate" and "Jingci Lin'an" may be able to break through and escape, and the people from "Dingyuan Trading Company"
More than thirty people are weak in martial arts and have no power to resist. I am afraid they will be killed immediately by the strong men of the underworld!
Master Miaozhen looked at Hua Bushi and asked, "Master Hua, do you have any wise ideas?"
Everyone escaped from the canyon, and the "Evil Dog Master" was commanding them all the way, and the "Evil Dog Gate" was now stronger than the "Jingci Lin Temple", so Master Miaozhen wanted to consult Hua Bu
Stone's opinion.
Hua Bushi gritted his teeth and said: "We have two masters in front, let's work together and rush through in a bloody way!"
Since a battle is inevitable, there is nothing to retreat from. Hua Bushi has made up his mind and decided to take advantage of the situation to attack. Although there are many gangsters blocking the road ahead, it is of course better to take the initiative to attack than to be flanked by the enemy.
.
Master Miaozhen did not hesitate and said: "Okay! Let's rush over together!"
With the horse galloping, the distance of a hundred feet can be reached in an instant!
The ones rushing at the front were Master Miaozhen, Yi Ruoying and Zhu Hong. They were the three with the strongest martial arts skills among the people. Meng Huan and Master Miaojue protected Liang Ji and followed closely behind the three in front.
Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu, Mr. Ma Da and others followed behind on horseback, while the people from "Dingyuan Company" were the last to leave.
At this time, the knights in black who were blocking the road also had their swords drawn in their hands, arranged in a square formation, raised their weapons in front of them, and were ready to attack. The sabers in the hands of these men in black were similar to the steel knives used by people in ordinary martial arts.
In comparison, it is both long and thick, and not light in weight. The blade gleams coldly under the reflection of the sky and snow!
The two sides were only a few feet apart, and they were about to collide, but Hua Bushi suddenly shouted from behind: "Stop! Don't do it! They are not gangsters!"
And almost at the same time, from behind the group of men in black, someone actually shouted loudly: "Hu Ben Guards, listen to the order! Sheath the sword!"
Dozens of swordsmen in black responded in unison, "Yes!" and sheathed their swords in unison. They were well-trained and did not dare to disobey orders.
Master Miaozhen, Yi Ruoying and Zhu Hong had already rushed forward. When they heard Hua Bushi's cry, they immediately thought that the situation had changed and reined in their horses. Yi Ruoying and Zhu Hong were far away.
The swordsmen in black clothes were a little further away, but they could barely hold the horses. Master Miao Zhen was at the front, and his horse was running with all its strength. In a moment, it could not hold back the momentum of inertia, and it was already heading towards the swordsmen in black.
The formation they formed collided with each other!
But I saw a figure flying over the heads of the black-clothed swordsmen like a roc, and landed directly in front of Master Miaozhen's mount. There was a loud "bang" sound, and the horse had hit the ground.
The man was holding a scabbard in front of him, but he was unable to move him at all. The horse neighed and flew several feet backwards, as if it had hit a big mountain, and stumbled and fell in the middle of the road!
Master Miaozhen reacted quickly, her feet immediately left the pedals, her body jumped up, floated three feet away, and then landed on the ground, and her eyes were full of fear!
Only then did she see clearly that standing in the middle of the road was a middle-aged man with thin eyebrows, small eyes, and a short beard. He was also dressed in black. The knife in his hand looked broad and long, and it was the same as the man behind him.
The weapons used by the swordsmen in black are of the same standard.
The force of the forward collision of the horses galloping at full speed was so powerful. This man took the impact forcefully, as if his feet were rooted, and did not move even half a minute. However, Master Miaozhen's mount could not withstand it.
Oh my god, my bones were broken and my tendons were broken by this collision. I fell flat on the ground and couldn't stand up again.
Just by looking at such a powerful kick, one could tell that this person's martial arts skills were extraordinary, at least Master Miaozhen knew that he would never be able to do this.
The people who were running had already reined in their mounts, but Hua Bushi urged his horse to come closer. He cupped his hands at the middle-aged man in black and said, "I haven't seen you for several months. How are you doing, Mr. Xue?"
The middle-aged man in black also cupped his fists and returned the salute, saying: "Xue is still the same, but Mr. Hua's complexion is getting stronger and stronger, which is really rare!"
This short-bearded middle-aged man is surprisingly the one that Hua Bushi met at the "Happy Island Casino" in Changsha City a few months ago.
"Xue", his martial arts skills are extraordinary, of course a mere horse cannot hit him.
When Hua Bushi got close, he suddenly recognized the style of the steel knives in the hands of the knights in black. They were the same as the weapons of the men in black that he saw outside "Happy Island" that day, and he concluded that they belonged to the Jin Yiwei.
They were men and horses, not gangsters. At almost the same moment, Xue Yuan spotted the young master from Huada who was rushing towards the cavalry, and immediately ordered the guards to put away their swords and stop.
Xue Yuan added: "Since I met Mr. Hua once in Changsha City, my master has mentioned him to Xue several times. I never expected that we would see him again in this wild place in Guangdong. I will definitely be very happy!"
Hua Bushi knew that the master Xue Yuan mentioned was the "Thousand-year-old Royal Highness" Mr. Mu Yun whom he met that day. He was overjoyed and asked, "Is Mr. Cao also here?"
Before Xue Yuan could answer, a voice said: "Brother Hua, you are fine, and my younger brother, Cao Muyun, is polite!"
I saw a group of black-clothed swordsmen dodging to both sides, and a white dragon horse as white as snow as silver had galloped out. On horseback stood a peerless and handsome young master, none other than Cao Muyun himself.
This Mr. Mu Yun was the same as when Hua Bushi saw him at Happy Island a few months ago. He was still graceful and elegant. The only difference was that he was sitting at the table playing the piano and drinking wine, looking gentle and elegant.
Now he is riding on a horse, wearing a green shirt, and hanging on his waist is a three-foot long sword inlaid with beautiful jade, which adds a heroic aura.
A handsome man who is more handsome than Pan An and possesses a vigorous heroic spirit, but his charm is irresistible to all the girls in the world.
Yi Ruoying, who was riding a horse beside her, could not take her beautiful eyes away from Cao Muyun. Even Hai Hongzhu's eyes were straight, looking at this peerless young master with a look of obsession on his face.
Hua Bushi coughed lightly, clasped his fists and said, "There is no time to talk in detail at this moment. There are still hundreds of underworld men behind us, and they will be chasing us soon. Please help Brother Cao to defend against the enemy!"
Cao Muyun said: "No wonder Brother Hua came here in such a hurry. It turns out that there are gangsters who are causing chaos in broad daylight. It is really lawless!"
He looked sharply and said: "Brother Hua, don't worry, with my little brother here, those strong men will definitely be in trouble!"
Hua Bushi said: "In this way, I will thank Brother Cao!"
Cao Muyun immediately glanced at Xue Yuan, and Xue Yuan waved his hand and shouted: "He Ben Guards listen to the order and set up an ambush!"
