Chapter 762 The Sword Speed Is Still Not Fast Enough
Lin Feng knew it was Hong Xiao, so he let her press on him. The two of them did not move, and explored their surroundings with their senses.
It was dark all around and Lin Feng felt someone approaching.
Hong Xiao gently turned over and snuggled into Lin Feng's arms, and then the two of them hugged each other and lay on the grass.
The two of them breathed as lightly as possible.
Just as they lay down, they heard a very light sound of footsteps, as if someone was floating towards them with the night wind without touching the ground.
If the two of them didn't have extraordinary senses, they wouldn't have heard such light footsteps.
In the extremely blurry scene, Lin Feng could barely see that a robe seemed to float past his eyes. There were no hands or feet on the robe, only a small head.
The robe circled around the carriage he was riding in, then swept to the back.
Hong Xiao put her mouth close to Lin Feng's ear.
"They are also worried about us. They must have sensed something was wrong."
"These guys are not simple. Their behavior is strange and they don't seem like ordinary people."
The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt that these two people, Gui Juan and Wu Mei, looked very much like the people from a certain island country in his previous life.
Hong Xiao whispered again, "No matter where they are, they are all coming for the general. Their intelligence is very timely and accurate."
Lin Feng also admitted that this was not a clue that could be obtained based on judgment alone, and he had not told anyone his whereabouts except those around him.
"coming."
Hong Xiao said in a low voice.
The wide robe fluttered past Lin Feng and Hong Xiao.
The two of them held their breath and waited for her to pass.
Unexpectedly, the guy stopped beside them, his robe fluttered, and his head on top of the robe moved closer to Lin Feng.
She also found two people lying on the ground.
A little face like a porcelain doll, with big eyes staring, came close to Lin Feng and Hong Xiao's faces.
Suddenly, six eyes met.
They attacked almost at the same time. Lin Feng's steel knife flashed with a cold light, and the sharp spike in Hong Xiao's hand pierced the porcelain doll's throat quickly.
And the girl named Wu Mei was waving her robe sleeve towards her.
With a sound of tearing cloth, Wu Mei's body quickly retreated, bounced on the sandy ground, and disappeared into the night.
Hong Xiao followed closely behind, and similarly, her body flashed in front of Lin Feng's eyes and disappeared.
Lin Feng did not move. He held the steel knife in his hand and frowned as he looked at the robe under his feet, which was cut into two pieces by his own knife.
Lin Feng began to doubt his life again. He had used all his strength in this strike, but still failed to hit the target.
Is it because the knife speed is not fast enough or the knife is not moved correctly?
Anyway, judging from the feel of my hands, I didn't hit Wu Mei's body.
Lin Feng stood there for a moment, sighed somewhat frustratedly, and sat back on the mat, waiting for the outcome of Hong Xiao's pursuit.
I still have confidence in Hong Xiao's speed. I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can escape Hong Xiao's pursuit.
If Hongxiao wanted to run, no one could catch up with her.
Lin Feng sat on the ground and waited for about a quarter of an hour. Hong Xiao floated down from the night sky and sat on the ground next to Lin Feng.
I didn't hear her rapid breathing, only a hint of loss.
Lin Feng glanced at her in surprise.
"Lost?"
Hong Xiao shook her head: "There are more than two of them. The expert last night was part of their group."
"Where did that fake girl go?"
"It's strange. She was wearing more than one robe. I grabbed two of them, and there are still some inside. She ran very fast and her skills were very strong."
Lin Feng flicked the steel knife in his hand.
"They are from Dazheng. It seems that Zhao Zheng has joined forces with overseas. These weird guys are not from Dazong."
"Should we leave or be killed?"
"They must be killed. We cannot allow them to have any chance to develop in Dazhong."
"it is good."
Hong Xiao did not hesitate. She had no psychological barriers to killing such a strange killer herself.
"They are in this caravan, and we don't know where they are hiding. If we don't want to alert others, it might be difficult to take action."
"Let's look for another opportunity. I guess they want to kill us too."
The two discussed for a while, Hongxiao returned to the carriage, and Lin Feng continued to lie on the straw mat, closing his eyes and dozing off.
I dare not sleep too deeply. These guys are too weird and it is difficult to grasp their behavior patterns.
The next morning, after breakfast, the caravan set off and headed west.
Gui Juan and Wu Mei did not appear again.
The caravan entered the hinterland of the west of the town peacefully.
At noon, the team did not stop moving forward, but each of them took a bite on the road, saying that they wanted to pass this area where bandits were prone to occur before resting.
But things did not go as planned. Just as the caravan was climbing a gentle slope, a cloud of dust rose in the distance. It was obvious that a cavalry team was heading this way.
There was no other way. Gan Shisan, the leader of the caravan's guards, rode his horse in front and behind the caravan and ordered all the carriages to form a circle.
Seventy or eighty guards each took a bow and arrow, used the carriage as a fortification, and waited for the bandits to appear.
Soon, a group of horse bandits emerged from the dust in the distance, holding long and short weapons in their hands, shouting loudly and rushing towards the caravan's carriage.
Gan Shisan remained calm in the face of danger and loudly ordered the guards to use bows and arrows to stop the horse bandits a hundred steps away.
Dozens of arrows flew into the air, drew an arc in the air, landed in front of the horse bandits, and stabbed into the ground.
The horse bandits also knew the rules and reined in their horses right in front of the feather arrows that were scattered on the ground.
Lin Feng looked at the group of horse bandits, there were more than a hundred of them, their clothes were messy, and some were in rags, which showed that the bandits were not having an easy life.
The weapons in their hands were also varied, and there were even people riding mules in the team.
When horse bandits rob caravans, they rarely fight to the death. They always negotiate first, collect some bribes, and then leave.
Everyone fought each other, and not only were there casualties, but it was also uncertain who would win or lose.
Generally, as long as enough money is paid, everyone will go their separate ways and live the rest of their lives. This is the best ending.
Seeing that the situation was stabilized, Gan Shisan had a clear idea of what was going on. He took a dozen guards and rode out of the carriage circle.
Their negotiation with the horse bandits was very short, less than half an hour, before they circled the war horses and ran back.
Based on past experience, Gan Shisan asked people to gather the merchants of the caravan and come to the center of the circle.
This caravan was made up of a dozen small merchants. When they encountered robbers, they all understood that they had to pay for their own way out.
Gan Shisan didn't say anything more and shouted loudly.
"I've just negotiated with the bandit leader, and they've given Gan some face. The money they're asking for isn't much, just three hundred taels of silver. As usual, each household will pay equally. Is that okay?"
A merchant in the crowd frowned and asked.
"Boss Gan, why are you offering so much this time?"
Gan Shisan pointed in the direction of the horse bandits.
"Brother, don't you see? There are more than a hundred horse bandits here. According to the rules, if there are more than a hundred horse bandits and they are less than five hundred taels, they will not be let go."
A guard spoke for Gan Shisan.
"We all often walk this way. Tell me, is this the truth?"
Some people agreed, but they were very perfunctory.
After all, no one feels comfortable about having to spend money, and they can only lament how unlucky this trip is.
Some even stepped back to see how others would respond.
