Chapter 273: Calm old man
In Fuzhou, heavy snow covers the mountains and white mists thousands of miles away.
It has been nearly half a month since we headed south, but Xi Junmai and his group still had no news about Wang Dabao and Zhong Shan.
"Did Dabao and Zhongshan not leave Jingyang?"
Xi Junmai sat on a fur coated bluestone, holding a map of Guanzhong area in his hand and murmured in a low voice.
"It's impossible. If they didn't leave Jingyang, they would leave a mark to remind us, but the person who went to investigate said that there was no mark at all."
Xue Wanche also sat aside, and was gnawing with a roasted rabbit.
Xi Junmai's eyes flashed with a hint of worry when she heard Xue Wanche's response.
There are only two reasons why Zhong Shan and Wang Dabao did not leave any marks.
First, the two of them left Jingyang's territory safely and went directly north to Shuofang, so there was no need to leave a mark for help.
As for the second, Xi Junmai didn't dare to think about it, and didn't leave a mark. Perhaps it was because he didn't have time to leave a mark. So what would force them to not even mark it?
Either the two have been killed or someone has been chased.
Xi Junmai clenched his fists and could only hope that the two of them had already moved north safely, otherwise he would not know what stupid things he would do.
"By the way, where is the Lu caravan, haven't set off yet?" Xi Junmai suddenly turned his head and looked at Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche nodded, looked at the southeast direction, and said, "I guess I can't walk in a short time. Now the heavy snow has blocked the way, and the heavy snow with goose feathers may not stop for a while. When I came back just now, I saw them camping and afraid that they would have to wait for the snow to stop before leaving."
Xi Junmai said "yes" thoughtfully, remembering the rumors when he was at the post station before, and had a vague premonition in his heart.
As he went south, he kept hearing people pretending to attack the Lu family caravan. Although he had no good impression of the Lu family, no one would feel comfortable with this inexplicable charge on his head.
Therefore, while Xi Junmai was working hard to find Wang Dabao and Zhong Shan, she was also always paying attention to another trend of "Xi Junmai".
Until yesterday, in the Fuzhou area, the servants met a team of Lu's caravans who were planning to go north to Yanzhou.
Xi Junmai felt that maybe this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to seize the copycat "Xi Junmai", so she followed without thinking, planning to wait for the rabbit.
The servants' team hung five miles away from the left front of the Lu caravan. It was good, the tracker was walking in front of the tracked person. To follow this way, it was inseparable from the mobility of the team and the telescope provided by Xi Yunfei.
The reason why Xi Junmai adopted this tracking method was naturally because he considered that the Lu caravan was probably targeted, and most of those people were already in the back of them. If he had another back hang, he would probably meet the other person, and it would be unsightly to be alerted to the snake.
The two were chatting together.
The Lu caravan five miles southeastward really welcomed a 'Xi Junmai'.
Although the Ghost Face Xuanjia Army is not as powerful as the real Xuanjia Army, it is a bit of a waste of talent to chase and kill a medium-sized caravan with only a few hundred people.
Just when the Lu's caravan was resting on the spot.
Two hundred iron cavalry suddenly rushed down from the hillside on the south side of the valley. A flag led by him was black in red, with a large character [Shi] embroidered on it, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Kill them all and avenge the villagers."
The leader of the "Xi Junmai" shouted in the authentic Jingyang dialect at the top of his voice.
The ghost face behind him looked at each other and smiled. Although the leader of the team was not their captain, he was also a member of the ghost face. Just because he was born in Jingyang, he played the role of the leader.
They have done this today seven or eight times, and each time they are in every way, so the ghost faces are not wary of the differences around them. They just started a weapon and then went in.
"I am the number one strong man in Jingyang, Xi Junmai. You are a bastard of Lu family, robbing my foundation and killing my villagers. Today, you will have to pay your blood debts and blood. "Xi Junmai, the leader, directly memorized the lines taught to him by Shangfeng, looking fierce and hoarse, as if your parents were really dead.
However, before he could shout the second sentence, he felt a hair suddenly appear on his body, and an arrow shot towards his face without bias.
But this guy was a ghost face after all. After all, he quickly pulled out his sword from his waist and swung it away with just a beat.
Bang ~
The arrow was directly slapped by him and shot backwards into the snow that was deep in his knees.
"So brave!?"
The ghosts looked at the direction where the arrows were shooting.
If you don’t look at it, you won’t know it. When you see, the flowers of your heart are about to bloom.
On the roof of a luxurious carriage, a pretty woman with a stunning look bent her bow and arrow, staring at them with her big eyes with her apricot kernel.
The fake "Xi Junbu" was not surprised but happy. After robbing the caravan so many times, it was the first time I saw such a beautiful woman. If so...
Not only was he so amazed that he forgot the purpose of this trip. He had been running around behind him for more than half a month and had already been exhausted both physically and mentally. This time he robbed the caravan and would have a big meal and drink. But if there was a woman to comfort her soul, it would be excellent.
"Hehehe!"
The ghosts all made creepy laughter at each other, and their eyes looked at the woman in the carriage with a bare heart. Yingying held her waist with one hand, and her eyebrows were shining and her eyes were shining.
At this time, Lu Jianting, who was standing on the carriage, was bent her bow and arrow, and she was determined to die. She thought that the invasion was just a group of ordinary bandits, but she never thought that the archery technique she was proud of was easily blocked by the person opposite.
"Uncle Xie, the thief opposite is not simple. The leader easily shot my arrow. What should I do?"
After all, Lu Jianting is in her prime. Although she is quite content with her own strength on weekdays, she knows that she has hit the nail on the head and is still very self-aware of her asking for help.
As soon as she finished speaking, an old man in plain clothes with white hair lifted the curtain and walked out slowly in the carriage beneath her feet.
The old man has a vicissitudes of appearance, with gray hair and gray beards, and his old man has no shortage of spots, but he has a pair of particularly abrupt copper bell eyes, which is incompatible with his temperament.
The old man waved to Lu Jianting in the carriage.
Seeing this, Lu Jianting was happy and threw the longbow on her hand and the arrow pouch on her waist to the old man.
The old man took the long bow and first played the horse's hair string leisurely, as if he was playing the piano musician, adjusting the strings with bare hands.
Just when the two hundred ghost faces on the opposite side looked at him with unknown reasons.
The old man looked up and said kindly to Lu Jianting: "Girl, I'll demonstrate the Seven Stars Pearl again today. Please observe carefully. I'll take the exam for you when I go back."
The old man looked very leisurely from beginning to end, as if he didn't see the two hundred ghost faces on the opposite side. Even Lu Jianting in the carriage sat cross-legged on the roof, nodded with a smile, and said, "But Uncle Xie, isn't your most powerful archery technique? Never mind the nine-star bead?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head with a smile: "It's hard to cook without rice. Although your purple long bow is not bad, you can only shoot seven arrows at most, and one arrow is weaker than the other. It's not good or bad."
Now that the ghost face man is still there, the old man seems to turn a blind eye to them. Instead, he kindly discusses bows and arrows with Lu Jianting, which makes the ghost face man bear it.
Seeing that the old man and the girl were chatting back and forth, the leader of the 'Xi Junmai' looked at his companion beside him with a grievance. The real leader of the team with ghost faces and muttered: "Commander, is that old man stupid?"
