The cavalry of Xie Bangui and his entourage was deliberately divided into three sections. The knights of the Tang Sect led the way, the Zheng family's horses were responsible for breaking up the rear, and the main figures of the three parties walked in the middle. Until the sun turned west, the entire cavalry was still moving forward unhurriedly.

Go forward on the official road.

As the sky darkened, Zheng Zhongshan, who was in charge of the rear of the palace, felt increasingly uneasy. This feeling was very similar to the scene when he was dealing with bandits in the dense forest outside the pass. At that time, he was also walking in this silent darkness, and the only way he could

The sound they heard was the breathing of their companions, and they even

They didn't even dare to talk aloud, in order not to miss any sounds that might appear or were about to appear, because they couldn't figure out what dangers were hidden in the dense forest around them, and they couldn't figure out whether the beasts peeping at them in the dark were waiting for prey.

, or an enemy who restrains his murderous intent and waits for the opportunity.

But now, this feeling has been copied exactly to the official road. What is hateful is that besides the endless wilderness near the official road, there is not even a stone that can hide. It is impossible to hide the enemy. Zheng Zhongshan is not even within ten feet.

He scanned the ground several times, but he couldn't see even a trace of floating soil where he looked. The possibility of hiding people underground was basically ruled out.

But that look that seemed to come from the depths of his consciousness pierced him like a needle, making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over.

Zheng Zhongshan wanted to ask his companions, but he was afraid that his attention would be distracted and he would miss some details. But the almost suffocating feeling of depression made his hand unconsciously reach for the gun on his waist again and again.

"ah--"

Zheng Zhongshan was frightened by the sudden scream. When he instinctively drew his gun in his hand, the mount under his crotch seemed to be frightened. It stood up with its front hooves off the ground. Zheng Zhongshan shouted loudly.

In the meantime, he tightly tightened the reins, lowered his waist and forced the mount back to its original position. However, the horse was still spinning in circles restlessly. At this time, Zheng Zhongshan saw a figure from the corner of his eye.

The figure hidden under the belly of the companion's horse was holding the horse's ribs with its bony limbs. Half of its pale face poked out from under the horse's belly and looked in the direction of Zheng Zhongshan.

Zheng Zhongshan was shocked and was about to raise his gun, but his mount turned half a circle on the spot, forcing Zheng Zhongshan to twist his horse and aim sideways.

"Brother Zhongshan, what are you doing?" The Zheng family boy was startled by Zheng Zhongshan's actions. He turned over and jumped off the horse: "Brother Zhongshan..."

"There is someone under your horse!" As soon as Zheng Zhongshan roared, all the Zheng family's fire god guards immediately turned over and dismounted, and without any sloppiness, they drew out their fire blunderbuss in the air and pointed them at the empty horses.

But there was nothing under the horse's belly. Not to mention the figure of a human being, there was not even a trace of someone's presence. A Vulcan guard was not determined to give up, so he got close to the horse's belly and sniffed it for a few times before saying, "There's no one there!"

There’s not even the smell of a stranger, Brother Chongshan, are you dazzled!”

"Maybe!" Zheng Zhongshan also suspected that he was dazzled: "Then did you hear someone screaming?"

"No!" More than a dozen Vulcan guards shook their heads in unison.

Zheng Zhongshan said vaguely: "Maybe I'm too tired, keep walking!"

When Zheng Zhongshan turned on his horse again, a black shadow slipped quietly into the belly of Zheng Zhongshan's horse in the blind spot of his sight. A subtle handprint appeared out of thin air on the bulging belly of the horse, as if someone was gently pressing it.

Hanging in the air on both sides of the horse's belly, he followed the horse and moved forward slowly.

In fact, Zheng Zhongshan was not the only one who noticed something strange around him. Tang Che, who was walking at the front of the team, had already keenly sensed the strange murderous intention floating in the air.

As a master of hidden weapons, his intuition and sense of danger are more than a hundred times sharper than ordinary people. He has been through life and death thousands of times. He never thought that one day he would be suspicious, feel that danger is approaching inexplicably, and worry about unexpected disasters.

!

"Disaster is coming!" The moment the words flashed in Tang Che's mind, he finally found the source of the danger.

That feeling came from the top of his head.

Ever since it got dark, he felt that the sky had dropped a few feet into the air. The depressing atmosphere was like a stone pressing on his heart, making him inexplicably irritable.

I don't know when, he suddenly couldn't feel that kind of boredom anymore, because a chill penetrated from the top of his head out of thin air. It felt like... like... yes, like a bird hanging from the sky.

The drops of blood seemed to cut off his neck in an instant, and then lifted his bloody head into the air.

Thinking of this, Tang Che even clearly saw the scene of his own head falling into the sky, flashing quickly in front of his eyes.

Tang Che couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously raised his head to look up at the sky.

At a glance, he saw a man squatting like a bird on the willow tree opposite. The man buried his head tightly between his outstretched arms. Tang Che could not see his hands, but he could see his several-foot-long sleeves.

It started from his knees and dragged all the way to his feet. I don't know if his feet were standing on the tree or clinging to the tree. In short, his whole body was rising and falling with the trembling of the willow branches, as if he was originally hanging on the tree.

A dead leaf.

Tang Che was startled and turned his right hand outwards. He had just grasped the Zhanyue flying knife drawn from his sleeve. He saw the man's one blood-red eye emerging from his arms and looking down at him.

Tang Che only felt that his heart tightened, and his whole heart almost jumped out of his chest. He fired the hidden weapon without hesitation. The flying knife of Zhanyue was like lightning piercing the night sky, and the dazzling cold light flashed and then disappeared.

The wicker that the man was standing on was cut horizontally.

The broken willow branches were still spinning in the air, but the strange figure had disappeared. Tang Che flew forward at the same time and reached out to catch the branch before it hit the ground.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Tang Bing and Tang Horse fell next to Tang Che one after another, taking a defensive posture in a "pin" shape.

Tang Che raised his head and asked, "Did you see anyone just now?"

"Where is there?" Tang Bing asked in surprise: "If there is someone, can it escape our eyes? Aren't you dazzled?"

"But... what's going on?" Tang Che frowned as he held the willow branch. There were two blood stains clearly printed on the roots of the branches side by side. When he blocked it, it looked as if someone had stepped on it, and it also looked like someone had stepped on it.

Two handprints of holding.

"A piece of wicker?" Tang Ma took the wicker and said, "Except for being thicker, there's nothing special about it!"

"You didn't see it... forget it, maybe I was dazzled!" Tang Che swallowed it back in mid-sentence. Since they didn't see the figure, they naturally couldn't see the strangeness on the wicker.

Tang Ma comforted him: "There is an inn ahead. I will arrange accommodation. You may get better after a good sleep."

"Maybe!" As soon as Tang Che raised his foot, the moon-cutting flying knife he shot fell silently in front of his feet, sticking to the sole of his foot like a piece of paper, but Tang Che seemed to
