Chapter 253 Fire Dragon
After thinking this clearly, 6 Jinping felt heavy in his heart.┝┝═┞?. He had just stepped onto the Shu Road and encountered such a dangerous situation. It seems that this trip was probably full of dangers. Who wanted his life? Is it the remnant of Queen Wei or who?
6 Jinping thought carefully and did not offend anyone in his personal grudges. After thinking about it, I may have to attribute it to the struggle between the palaces. The most likely one is Queen Wei's people.
Of course, there is another possibility that the real purpose of my trip to the territory this time has been leaked, so some people who do not want to see themselves appear in this place carry out this ambush on the road.
This ambush made 6 Jinping feel more determined. He must find out what he wanted. He knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he was going to see who it was, and he would not hesitate to kill himself to protect what kind of interests? Who was the one who attacked him? If there was an enemy secretly peeping in an attempt to kill you, but you didn't find out what he wanted, then he would have to wait for death. He would rather choose to take the initiative.
Continue to climb over the mountains, stepping on the muddy mountain path in the heavy rain, and finally climbing over the winding steep mountain ridge. Then go down the mountain and enter the spiral road between the mountains.
I did not encounter an ambush from the enemy along the way. Because the mountain road was difficult to walk, I was careful when I arrived at the next market town. By the time I arrived at the next market, it was already night. The rain stopped.
Captain Xiong took people to find the township official and asked him to arrange the best wealthy family here as a resting place for 6 Jinping, two Dali Temple Chiefs and the personal plum blossom inner guards. The other clerks and constables who followed lived in inns or people's homes, of course, they all lived near the wealthy family in 6 Jinping. At the same time, the two dead constables and seriously injured people were entrusted to the township to escort the local people back to Chang'an with carriages.
No words all night.
The next morning, the crowd continued to leave for Bazhou.
Although the road ahead was rough and bumpy, it was relatively easy to walk. A few days later, they arrived at Shu Road, which was really difficult to reach the sky, Jianmen Pass. ┝═┝.
Jianmen Pass is steep, like sharp swords that tattoo the sky with cliffs on both sides. It is really a cliff that can’t be opened by one man, so it is named after the name. Between the big and small Jian Mountains, there are plank roads that stretch for hundreds of miles. These plank roads are built on cliffs, and below are steep cliffs or deep valley river beaches.
The plank road was built during the Three Kingdoms period. It has been repaired and expanded continuously throughout the years, and it is quite good to maintain it. After all, this is the only way from Chang'an to Shu, and it can be regarded as a major transportation road. But after all, it is just made of wood, and it is under the sun and rain. It soon decays. Once the maintenance cannot keep up, it will be very dangerous.
Therefore, when 6 Jinping stepped on the plank road for the first time, he heard the squeaking sound under his feet and felt the entire plank road shaking, and he was still a little nervous.
The plank road is very narrow and can only pass through one horse. Fortunately, they had the foresight to come this time and they all rode on horseback.
Leading the horse, walking up the plank road carefully, looking at the deep cliff on the other side, with hawks circling in the air from time to time on top of your head. It is already autumn, and under the clear and refreshing autumn, it really makes people feel the comfort of the infinite scenery on the dangerous peaks.
6. Because of an ambush before, two deaths and one injury were caused. This time, I was even more nervous and had no time to enjoy these beautiful scenery.
Xiaoxiao made arrangements for the alert and sent two powerful martial arts people to climb up the mountain along the mountain road and searched along the mountain top to prevent the enemy from attacking from the mountain top and smashing it down with wooden, thunder and stones. That would be amazing.
At the same time, the people below will be separated by ten steps away from each other, and lengthen the front line to avoid being attacked by the enemy and causing casualties.
And 6 Jinping's clothes have been changed into black clothes like other detectives and the plum blossom inner guards. It is far from being able to tell who 6 Jinping is.
At the same time, the walking position of 6 Jinping is also arranged at almost the end of the team. ┠.([..[This unsafe place becomes safer, because under normal circumstances, if it is an enemy attack, it will be believed that the most important person must be walking in the middle and protecting the front and back.
Step onto the plank road and move slowly forward, the mountain becomes more steeper.
At this moment, the front stopped and the news quickly reached the back. Only then did 6 Jinping know that there was an old man and an old woman in front of him, carrying a very heavy package. The package was very big, almost filling the entire plank road, and slowly moving forward.
The captain Bear who was exploring the way ahead wanted the old man to make the way, but they could get out of it. The big package on their backs could not be moved away from the road, blocking the entire road.
Captain Xiong suspected that the other party was cheating and immediately checked. The package was filled with various old clothes. He interrogated the two and learned that the two old men collected the old clothes they didn't want from outside Jianmen Pass and carried them back to resell them.
Captain Bear carefully identified the two old and the young, and did not seem to be as good as they had martial arts. However, he still warily asked the two detectives to control them, and then helped them walk forward with their bags, hoping to find a slightly spacious place to make way and let them pass first.
The two old men and the children walked very slowly, especially the two old men, who were staggering, limping, and their legs were not flexible, and they didn't look like they were pretending.
The captain Xiong was helpless and asked the two detectives to carry them on their backs. The two old men were grateful again.
As he was walking forward, the child suddenly took out a round ball from his arms, shook it at the detective who was carrying him and said, "Do you know what this is?"
The child is seven or eight years old, and he is still quite heavy when he walks far away. The detective was not angry when he saw him taking out something and asking himself, saying, "I care what you are, stay honestly."
The child giggled and said, "I can't stay honest, look, I'll play a trick for you."
After saying that, he smashed the ball hard towards the large package of clothes in front of him. With a bang, the ball suddenly exploded, and countless flames flew out, igniting a large bag of clothes in an instant!
The raging flames shocked everyone in front and behind, but the person carrying them did not feel it because he couldn't see it. The package was too big and blocked his entire vision. Only when the constables in front and behind called him to throw away the package in unison, he realized that the huge clothes bag on his back had already ignited a raging fire, and quickly threw his package off the cliff.
But they did not expect that there was a gentle slope below the cliff, with thorns growing on the gentle slope. The huge package was thrown down and fell on the thorns, burning quickly and spreading back and forth.
Obviously, someone thorns were tampered with ignition-induced objects such as sulfur crude oil. The fire quickly turned into a long fire dragon and burned upwards, quickly igniting the plank road where they were.
Fortunately, they opened the distance, so only about 30% of the people fell into the sea of fire. The people behind were retreating quickly. The constables surrounded by fire dragons on the plank road were on fire. The screams echoed in the mountain stream. Many people jumped off the cliff, but they could not destroy the fire on their bodies. They would rather die on the rock than suffer from the burning of the fire.
Captain Bear opened the way in the front, and he kept closely monitoring the two old men. The huge package ignited behind. After the entire plank road caught fire, Captain Bear grabbed the two old men and rushed out of the sea of fire, grabbed the front without fire, and avoided the fire. However, as the raging fire swallowed the plank road, he lifted the two old men into the air with one hand, threw them heavily on the plank road, and ordered the constable who rushed out to tie the two.
Immediately, Captain Bear drew his single sword and wanted to climb over to rescue 6 Jinping and others. However, the fire spread rapidly and swallowed up the entire plank road. He could not do anything unless he climbed over the top of the mountain or climbed down the cliff and walked around the bottom.
Captain Bear decided to climb up the cliff. He climbed upwards, preparing to climb over the peak, and go around to meet them with 6 Jinping.
The child who smashed the ball stabbed into the neck of the constable who was carrying him with a thin needle. The constable thrust his body and fell to the ground and died. The child quickly climbed to the top of the mountain like a monkey. However, he did not escape Xiaoxiao's pursuit. Xiaoxiao's dart caught up with him and shot him to death among the branches of the tree.
6 Jinping walked at the end of the team. When he saw a long flame igniting in front of him and swallowing the entire plank road, he looked around to prevent the enemy from attacking in the chaos.
After seeing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, because at some point, two strong men and a young woman appeared a hundred steps behind them, and were walking towards them slowly.
When Xiaoxiao, who was following 6 Jinping, saw this scene, frowned and whispered to 6 Jinping: "Be careful, these three people have extraordinary martial arts, especially the old man."
However, the three of them were wearing masks. When they got closer, they didn't say anything. They slowly lit up the weapons on their waists and pointed at 6 Jinping and the others.
The black-faced strong man was the first to be in trouble. He rushed straight over and slashed at Xiaoxiao. Because the plank road was too narrow, he could not launch a siege and could only fight alone.
The strong man used his sword, but Xiaoxiao just dodged and did not take action. His eyes were fixed on the old man and the woman.
The 6 primer behind him has been protected by the plum blossom inner guards. Xiaoxiao showed that the two old men and young men did not seem to have the intention to attack. Although the strong man in front of him is enough to be one of the first-class masters in martial arts, he can do it himself.
So Xiaoxiao suddenly made a move, and the long sleeves in her hand rolled on one of the strong man's legs with a bang. She shook out, and the strong man flew into the air like a kite with a broken string.
Just as Xiaoxiao took action, the old man's ghostly figure started, jumped up, and gently tapped on the cliff, from top to bottom, stabbed Xiaoxiao in front of her with a sword. The speed was so fast that it was not enough to describe it with lightning and flash. It instantly arrived in front of Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao had already seen that the old man had a strong martial arts skills, but he did not expect that he was so powerful. (To be continued.)
