Jiaohua

Chapter 157
The army marched out, mighty and mighty, thousands of luggage were transported from Shoushi, and the lights were like a long dragon, lighting up the entire ancient road.

The scouts who saw the flames from a distance hurriedly turned their horses back, and the troops behind were dumbfounded when they heard about it. Lin Zongqi asked Li Xiao how to deal with it, and Li Xiao was also dumbfounded.

"It's actually them." Someone on the mountain said softly.

Shen Lie stood on the edge of the cliff without saying a word, the wind came down from the cliff, blowing his clothes to pieces, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness.

"This is a good show to watch." Du Xuan said from the side.

This ancient road has been visited by no one for a long time, and there is only one way. Either continue to meet Jiang Pingsheng's people, or turn around and retreat to find a place to hide.

There was not much time for Li Xiao to think about it, so he reined in his horse and went over there to whisper to Mr. Cai He, and then saw the army under the cliff taking action.

It was just beyond Shen Lie's expectation that these people did not advance or retreat, but untied the horses from the carts that were pulling the baggage, and all the horses that could be taken away were all untied.

Du Xuan raised his eyebrows: "This is..."

Before the words fell, I saw these people quickly gather, and then rode their horses and ran towards the rugged mountain road on the other side.

"I don't want it anymore!" Zhang Meng exclaimed.

"This chest is quite big." Feng Ze said in a low voice.

As soon as they left, the light on this side gradually dimmed, and the luggage on the road was scattered like that. The cold wind was blowing, blowing the oilcloth covering the rain above, and there were strange noises in the night.

"They're gone," Du Xuan withdrew his gaze, and looked at Shen Lie, "Master, this was given to us for nothing."

"Where are we going now? Go directly to Peifeng, or wait for Jiang Shilang to come over?" Feng Ze asked.

"Let's go to Peifeng first," Shen Lie said, looking away, and went to lead the horse, "Too many people are very annoying."

"Yeah!" Several subordinates nodded.

The way down the mountain was not as easy as going up the mountain, not to mention that they each led their horses, so they had to walk around a flatter slope in the end.

After passing through several difficult ridges, from the high slope on one side to the big mountain on the other side, there is a river valley below. Due to the heavy rain for days, the water level of the valley has risen, but there seems to be an embedded cave on the mountain wall below. In the cave, there is a faint fire coming from inside.

"There is someone here?" Du Xuan was surprised.

The sky was too dark, and those fire lights also dimmed in the visibility of the field of vision.

"Master, there is a carriage," Feng Ze shouted, "It's still a double carriage!"

But only the carriage remained, and the horses tied up in front had been untied.

"Strange," Du Xuan looked at Shen Lie, "Master, do you want to go and see?"

"It's important." Shen Lie said, leading the horse in his hand to the other side of the long slope.

Before walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a scream coming from the cave, it was very shrill, and then a group of people begged for mercy, the sound was much diluted by the sound of the river in the valley.

Shen Lie frowned, looked over and said angrily: "Go, go and see!"

Liu Teng sat on the soft blanket and covered his ears with his hands, feeling really annoyed.

The tall man raised his foot and kicked, knocking the corpse off the bench.

The eyes of the corpse without the cranium were wide open, and it rolled to the side of the fresh corpse.

Several big men were in charge of handling the freshly baked "Yao Yin" carefully, and the tall man walked towards the refugees on the other side with a knife.

The refugees were skinny and naked, their clothes were torn and used to bind their hands and feet, and some people had balls of cloth stuffed inside their mouths. Those who were not stuffed because of insufficient cloth were the tall man first. target to choose.

As the man approached, those people moved and shrank in, looking at him in horror.

The man didn't need to pick at all, he just grabbed one and took it to the long bench over there.

The arrested person screamed and moved all the time, crying and begging for mercy.

"Honestly, I'll give you a treat, or you'll see how I kill you!" the man cursed angrily, pulling him away.

"It's so noisy!" Liu Teng called out impatiently, "Hurry up!"

The refugee was forcibly pressed onto a long bench, and other people tied his body with cloth strips.

The refugees screamed loudly, enduring the strange feeling of their hair being shaved.

After shaving, you have to prepare the medicine according to the prescription and put half a stick of incense on the head, and then you can take the "medicine".

Because this man was too noisy, the man casually found the ball of cloth that he had used before on the ground, and forced it into his mouth.

But this man was really strong, and he struggled on the bench, making the bench rattle. The horses tied to the other side of the cave were a little restless because of this, they stepped on their hooves and beat ponytail.

The double carriage was leaning against the mountain wall, Du Xuan went up to touch it, and said in a low voice: "Master, the paint color hasn't faded yet, and the material of the curtain is also very good, the smell inside is quite weird."

Shen Lie leaned against the entrance of the cave, frowning slightly with thick eyebrows, listening to the movement inside, it was hard to judge how many people were there, but what was certain was that the number should not be exaggerated.

At this time, a voice came from inside: "It's almost there, let's do it, it's so noisy!"

What this "hands-on" means is really obvious.

Another man responded, and then wiped the refugee's head with a dry cloth, and when he was about to raise his knife to chop it off, a fist-sized stone came from outside the cave, and hit the blade with a "clank".

The sudden force made the man almost fail to hold the knife in his hand.

Raising his head hastily, he saw a few figures suddenly appearing at the entrance of the cave. The leading young man was tall and slender.

The man hurriedly raised the knife to chop, but only two moves back and forth, the other party has already picked up the big knife in his hand neatly, followed by a swift move of Dongxue Jingmei, the man only felt a chill in his throat, and then only Under a strong sense of suffocation.

The speed was so fast that by the time other people in the cave reacted, the man had already fallen.

Du Xuan ran to the refugees, Feng Ze and Zhang Meng followed Shen Lie and raised their swords.

The boy was born too handsome, his fair skin seemed to be able to reflect the light against the background of his black and purple clothes.

"who!"

"who are you!"

The other big men raised their knives one after another.

Shen Lie withdrew his long sword, a few drops of blood dripped from the edge of the sword, and all the big men raised their knives and slashed at him. His long sword made a string of fluent sword flowers, and immediately went up to meet him.

In ordinary martial arts competitions, one would leave a bit of leeway in his hands, but today's Shen Lie's sword light did not hold back its sharpness at all, and opened up sharply, with a bunch of blood between the swallows and puffs.

Feng Ze and Zhang Meng, who could be sent by Guo Shu to be his entourage, are naturally not bad at skills. They are not trained by ordinary martial arts thugs or in the army. They are the personal guards cultivated by the Guo family since childhood. It was taught by a teacher from a famous school in the world.
