Great Sui Guoshi

Behind the carriage, the sound of chasing horses' hoofs was getting closer, and the man riding beside him gritted his teeth: "Protect them!" He swung his knife and slashed at the horse's neck.

sigh -

The horse wailed, and the galloping horse knelt on its forelegs and raised its hooves. Under the huge inertia, the carriage galloped past and collided with the horse.

There was a loud bang, the axle broke, and the shaft of the car flew out, hitting a tree next to it. The moment the carriage collapsed in mid-air, the wooden wall on the side slammed open. A woman knocked out, fell to the ground and turned over several times.

"The three of them are staying behind, let's go to the woods, hurry up!"

The big man on the horse came down quickly, picked up the child on the ground, and at the same time picked up the fallen woman and ran into the woods. The driver picked up a knife and followed behind, looking back from time to time.

The sound of the clash of swords and soldiers can still be heard.

The light of the torch flickered, the voice of a person suddenly screamed, and a figure flew across, hitting a tree, the tree body shook, and the leaves fell down.

Dressed in a cardigan and green robe, the slender figure with built-in fine scales and soft armor withdrew his hand.

Kaka...

On that hand was an iron glove as dense as scales, with sharp claws on the fingers. After clenching it, the man walked past the corpse under the tree, with blue-white cheeks and cold eyes squinting at the only living creature on the ground not far away.

It was one of the three people who escorted the carriage and left behind.

"Humph."

The man approached the wounded man, looked away, stepped up, stomped down, and twisted the man's neck.

Click.

The neck bone was trampled and broken, and the dead could not die again.

After a while, more than ten people from here continued to chase, and what they saw was the wreckage of the carriage scattered all over the ground.

Someone held a knife and arched his hand: "Tong..."

"Ok?"

The flames flickered, the slender figure turned his face slightly, and the man quickly lowered his head: "Boss, there are no corpses around, the other party may have escaped."

"escape?"

With a blue and white face in the lead, thin lips outlined, he spread his iron hand, and someone behind him handed him a small cage.

"Huh, fortunately, I expected this to go wrong early."

Opening the cage door, a bird was released, which was slightly bigger than a thumb. It jumped into his palm, chirped for a while, spread its wings, and flew towards a certain direction in the forest.

"This bird is a precious thing, very good at finding traces, keep up!"

With a wave of iron hand, more than ten people started to run, following behind the bird.

..........

Rumble...

Under the rock, the Taoist who was holding the white piece and was about to drop it suddenly covered his stomach, put down the piece, stood up abruptly, and ran outside.

"Wait for a while!"

Lu Liangsheng, who was immersed in thinking about the chess game, raised his head and looked at the back of the person running out.

"What are you going to do?"

Going around the rock, the Taoist who ran to the weeds behind let out a dry howl from a distance.

"shit!!"

Lu Liangsheng smiled, looked at the chessboard, and continued to think. Taoist Toad jumped onto the stone, lifted his fins, looked at it for a while, and nodded.

"Come on, take this bad game of chess from him as a teacher, and continue playing."

"Then Master, be careful..."

The scholar twirled the sunspots, and just said a word, in the wind outside, there was a faint rustling sound coming from a distance.

beast?

Slightly frowning, his eyes looked over the top of the master's head, and in the distance, among the trees, two men and a woman were stumbling and running with a child.

The woman who was following couldn't move anymore, her hair bun was loose and shaking.

"I can't walk anymore...I really can't."

"Madam, let's go a little further, grit your teeth, and go a little longer."

The coachman holding the child glanced back, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the big man with the knife in front of him.

"We've run a long way, they probably won't be able to catch up, let Madam and Young Master rest for a while."

The big man gritted his teeth. The woman opposite him had pale lips, cold sweat all over her face, panting and slumped on the ground, and the child in her arms was also dazed and listless. The women and children here are no longer available.

Cheeks swollen, the big man nodded: "Okay, but first get out of this forest before resting."

After speaking, he persuaded the woman on the ground, who was supported by the coachman and stumbled along for a while. The man leading the way chopped down the branches blocking the way. In his eyes, only a few dozen steps away, there was a big rock Down, light the fire.

The coachman asked cautiously beside him: "Could it be that they set up an ambush here to wait for us?"

"How can setting up an ambush be so open and aboveboard?"

After all, the man has martial arts and has sharp eyes and ears. Not far away, an old donkey sneezed in the grass. Within the range illuminated by the fire, a young man dressed as a scholar was sitting there, with two bookshelves beside him.

After observing the dress and the other party's belongings, the big man was also relieved.

"It's a scholar."

After chasing and fleeing for a whole day, the few people were indeed very tired. Since there were people and there was a fire, it would be best to keep warm and rest. When the man who was in the lead approached, he realized that the scholar was playing chess by himself, and there was another one wearing a suit beside him. The big toad in the short coat was lying on his stomach, and for a while, he regretted coming in.

"This person is a little weird, don't talk."

The big man told the woman and the coachman to get closer to the fire, put the child in his arms into the woman's arms, held the handle of the knife, and made fists towards the scholar over there.

"I'm passing by here, young master, please make it easier for me. If there is any disturbance, we will leave after a short break."

Before, Lu Liangsheng had heard the man's whispered words, and he also looked at the other party's group from the corner of his eyes. The woman was dressed plainly, but her exposed neck and palms were white and delicate, she didn't look like a woman wearing this kind of coarse cloth. The man has rough hands and feet, but he carefully cares about him, he is obviously a servant.

As for the big man who surrendered, no need to guess, he was also a guard.

However, when traveling at night in the barren mountains and ridges, if you meet someone, you should be vigilant, and Lu Liangsheng will not be angry because of this.

He just raised his hand and smiled back.

"It doesn't matter, this big rock is not exclusive to me, the strong man and you can do whatever you want."

"Grateful!"

After finishing speaking, the two sides didn't talk any more. The child leaning on the woman's arms raised half of his face curiously, looked at the figure on the other side of the fire, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, that person seems to be playing chess with a toad... ..."

The woman's hair was in a disheveled bun, and a glimpse of her beautiful face flashed across her head when she turned her head. When she heard the child's words, she quickly covered her son's mouth.

"Jing'er, don't talk nonsense."

The coachman on the side was leaning against the cave wall, and he looked worriedly at the handsome scholar holding the chess piece, studying the chessboard intently.

Lower your voice.

"My lord, I think we'd better go... The scholar looked terrified. I often heard people say that if I meet a handsome scholar in the middle of the night, he is definitely not very human."

"Hmm... I also think it's a bit weird."

The man agrees with what he said, as a warrior, he feels more sharply, and I don't know if he is too sensitive to be hunted down, the scholar over there makes him feel more uneasy.

"Go now."

Grabbing the long knife at his feet, he was about to take the child from the woman's arms, buzzing... the sound suddenly sounded outside.

bee?

Lu Liangsheng raised his head, and saw a tiny blue bird, flapping its wings quickly, hanging at the entrance of the cave.

The big man who was about to leave saw the bird, his face changed wildly, and he blurted out.

"It's looking for birds, they found us, let's go!!"

A shout of 'go' echoed in the cave, and suddenly a scarlet black shadow flashed across everyone's sight like lightning, and grabbed the wandering bird.

With a swish, the bird disappeared, leaving only a feather slowly falling to the ground.

"Birds... Where are the birds?"

The big man, as well as the coachman and the woman behind him stared at the feathers on the ground in astonishment, and slowly turned their eyes to the fire.

hiccup!

The big toad on the chessboard had a bulging belly and a feather hanging from the corner of its mouth.

"Quack..."

The atmosphere in the cave became subtle.

On the other hand, the child in the woman's arms was quite excited and stretched out her little finger.

"That little bird seems to have been eaten by that scholar's toad..."

The woman quickly pressed his arm down, glanced at the scholar over there from the corner of her eye, subconsciously leaned back behind the big man, and whispered: "Jing'er, what did you say for your mother just now?"

"That's what it is." The child shrank back to the woman's shoulder aggrieved.

The big man with the knife standing in front of the woman clenched the handle of the knife tightly, his face was ugly, he knew very well the origin of the bird just now.

...... The birds raised by the Royal Guards in the palace are very good at tracking.

Right now, the four of them must have been discovered.

And that scholar... is absolutely extraordinary.

Thinking of this, I can't help but slap myself.

"Why is there something out of the ordinary..."

The big man took a deep breath and bowed his hands to the scholar over there again.

"It's almost time for the four of us to rest, so don't disturb the young master to rest here, and leave."

Under the vigilant eyes of two men and a woman, the scholar's shadow was swaying on the cave wall under the light of the fire, like a demon that would suddenly pounce on them.

The fire crackled and bounced sparks.

When Taoist Toad blew away the feather hanging from the corner of his mouth, Lu Liangsheng, who was holding the black piece, looked at his master dumbfounded, and gently put down the chess piece.

There was no surprise on his face, it was not for pretending, in front of strangers, it is natural not to show too much emotion, just nodded lightly, did not get up, and bowed his hands in return.

"Since the four of you want to leave, I don't force you to stay. It's just that the road is difficult to walk in this dark night, in the barren mountains and wild mountains. Beware of wild beasts, adults don't need to take it seriously, and you must also consider the safety of the child in your arms."

Hearing these simple words, the breathing of the four people over there suddenly became heavy. The coachman squeezed his trouser legs tightly, his body couldn't help shaking slightly, and the heart of the big man holding the knife jumped violently.

How did this scholar know?

There is indeed a problem.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your kind words and persuasion, but you still have to leave first."

The big man didn't have time to think about who the scholar was, turned his face and lowered his voice, and gave a soft drink.

"Let's go quickly!"

The coachman and the woman nodded, and quickly followed the big man with the children. Just after they stepped out of the cave, not far away, the vegetation was swaying, and figures rushed out with knives.

In the darkness, a cold voice shouted violently.

"You can't go anywhere."

Outside the cave, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and the big man with the knife reached out to protect the woman behind him and the child in his arms, his face changed wildly.

"Oops…...."

The chasing thieves stepped quickly and orderly, encircling them in an arc in an instant, and two people in the middle retreated left and right holding torches, and a figure in a cardigan and green robe with a soft armor inside came out with his hands behind his back.

His thin face was pale and pale, but there was only a smile on his face.

"As long as Mi Niao is there, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I can catch you."

In his eyes, he naturally saw a scholar in the cave, still smiling.
