The sky seemed to sense the coming of winter, glowing with a pale color. Just as Yan Rong strode into the study room of Prince Yi's Mansion, the sun just broke through the gaps in the clouds and shone on a white glazed tea cup on the table.

Yu Fengjin was sitting cross-legged in front of the window, watching the sycamore tree beside the window drop its last leaf.

"Brother, everything is done." Yan Rong would put away his usual frivolity every time he did business, and he was even more serious than anyone else.

"Well." Yu Fengjin withdrew his gaze, picked up a letter from the table and handed it to him: "The caravan has replied to the letter. It won't be long before they arrive in Beijing. During these days, pay attention to the actions of Zhang Heng, the son of Pingyang Marquis.

If he wants to take action, the last chance is right outside the city gate. He will not miss it. I don’t know how many people will come from the caravan, but Zhang Heng is trying his best to stop them this time. You have to go to meet them when the time comes.

Take a moment and bring the witness back."

"But Zhang Heng knows me, I'm worried..." Yan Rong took the letter with a worried look on his face.

"Zhang Heng has raised so many thugs, he will not show up easily. Those thugs don't know you, so as long as you don't leave alive, you will be safe." Yu Fengjin picked up the tea cup and took a sip before the last ray of heat disappeared.

Yan Rong nodded and pondered for a while before asking: "Brother, I don't understand. There are many famous organizations in the world, why is it the caravan?"

"How much do you know about the caravan?" Yu Fengjin put down her teacup and looked at him with a smile, her eyes very warm.

Yan Rong thought for a moment and then said: "I only know that the caravan started out by selling horses, because the horses they raised were fat and strong and very fast. They were not only suitable for long-distance transportation but also used as war horses. Later, they used these

Horses transported goods from the south to the north for sale, and occasionally served as escorts. Later, as the business grew bigger, the horse gangs opened business houses in many towns. Because of their reputation and keeping their word, they have today's reputation in Jianghu.

status."

"Well, then you should know who the founder of the caravan is." Yu Fengjin continued to ask.

"I've heard something." Yan Rong thought for a while and said: "The leader of the caravan, Gui Lichi, is a famous ghost general in the legend. He has a ghost army under his command, which is said to be brave enough to defeat ten thousand men. This team once competed with the ancestors

When the emperor went to war on the battlefield, he always felt like he was in an uninhabited territory. He was unstoppable and almost never suffered a defeat. But since Emperor Yu ascended the throne, this army disappeared overnight..."

"Didn't they disappear?" Yu Fengjin lowered her eyelashes and sighed quietly: "It was Gui Lichi who withdrew from the court and took his men to retreat into the world. And he also swore that he would never set foot in the court again in his life. From then on, the world has changed.

The only legend left in Hechaotang is his legend..."

"With Emperor Yu's personality, do you just let them go like this?" Yan Rong frowned, a little unbelievable.

Yu Fengjin smiled faintly and said: "The ghost and god troops are invincible in the world, and the old general also has a high prestige. If we really have to go head-to-head, Emperor Yu may not be able to win completely. Since the old general has sworn not to participate in government affairs again, he will not be interested in Emperor Yu."

If he is threatened, he can only let it go."

Yan Rong showed admiration, but shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that he no longer wants to participate in government affairs. If we can recruit talents like the old general, my brother's career will be successful!"

"How will you know if you don't try." Yu Fengjin slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

The tacit understanding over the years made Yan Rongdeng understand immediately. He laughed, picked up a teacup, filled it with tea, and said to him: "Okay, then I will replace the wine with tea and wish my brother success in advance."

Outside the city of Shengjing, clouds were flying. The path in the mountains was filled with mist. Except for a few occasional birdsong, it was eerily quiet. A sudden sound of horse hooves made the birds rush into the blue sky.

Three fast horses were galloping towards Shengjing City. The one running at the front was a girl, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed in red and red clothes. She was riding a snow-white little horse with an extraordinary steed.

The horse's hooves flew and ran very fast, leaving the people behind it.

A man in his fifties followed on her right side. He had a white face and long beard, long eyebrows and narrow eyes. He wore an indigo turban, a linen shirt that had been washed a little white, and a shiny knife around his waist.

Iron Ruler. His car is an old chestnut horse with unusually tall and fat body.

A thick, dark man about twenty years old followed the girl on the left side. He was more than eight feet tall, wearing a gray mink fur coat and a pair of black deer leather boots. His ears were pointed in the wind, and his lips were very thick.

His face is covered with steel beard, and he looks very fierce and fierce! Under his crotch is a tall horse with shiny black hair, which is also agile, brave and quick.

The sun gradually moved away, and the warm sun slowly rose from the mountain road and shot into the lush dense forest. Suddenly, a cold light flashed through the trees, stinging the girl's eyes.

"Master, Toto! Be careful there is an ambush in the forest!" The girl in red turned her eyes and immediately reined in her horse and stopped.

The two people behind them were startled and stopped immediately. The three men turned their horses' heads, adjusted their formation slightly, and formed a triangle with their backs to each other, looking around nervously.

The old man smiled coldly and deliberately raised his voice and cursed: "Lu Ning, what the letter said is indeed true. We have really gone through a lot of hardships along the way! Seeing that we have reached the door, we still can't escape this! This is already...

Is this the eighth assassination?"

The black-faced man named Toto slapped his nose across the bridge and shouted: "The ninth time! You fell asleep once when they attacked at night, and Xiaolu and I took care of them!"

The girl in red, Lu Ning, stared at the forest that was pretending to be quiet, and shouted loudly: "Since someone has sent you to intercept and kill, there is no need to hide! Come out quickly and let's fight quickly, so as not to delay our entry into the city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the forest. Seventeen or eight black shadows quickly sprang out from the jungle. They instantly surrounded the three people and the three cavalry.

Looking at the number of people coming, Lu Ning and Totu sneered at each other, seemingly not taking them seriously. However, in the blink of an eye, another dozen black shadows fell from the sky, trapping them in the middle.

The three people and the three cavalry were surrounded by a dark sea of ​​people, looking a little isolated and helpless.

Lu Ning stared at the group of black-clothed and masked men in front of him with vigilance. They were either holding axes or sabers, and each of them had a murderous look in their eyes. They were likely to die together and perish together.

Lu Ning gritted his teeth and shouted coldly: "I knew there would be an ambush on the way to Beijing, but I didn't expect there would be such a large number of people! They really think highly of us!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "In the past few assassinations, there were people who came out to shout to us. Today, even the shouting people are spared. It seems that they will hang us all here today!"

But Toto grinned with a bloody mouth and said: "Don't worry, old man! These little guys want to kill me, Toto, but they don't have the ability!"

When the men in black in front of them heard this, they couldn't help but laugh arrogantly. They didn't take these three people seriously. In their opinion, only the strong man looked serious, and there was a woman and a woman.

The old man is nothing more than an ant.

The two men in black could no longer bear it any longer. Before anyone else could take action, they jumped up with their axes and struck Lu Ning head-on.

Lu Ning, however, unhurriedly drew out a nine-section whip that shimmered with silver, opened the whip neatly, lassoed Hao's wrist, and with a violent flick, the two assassins who were close to him were instantly overturned.

On the ground, the skin and flesh on the body were torn, and some of the bones were even visible.

"Good job!" Toto couldn't help shouting, with an inexplicable ecstasy on his dark face. He picked up a gold-nailed mace weighing more than 100 kilograms with one hand, quickly jumped off the horse, and shouted:

"Let you also have a taste of my power!"

Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly. When they looked up, Toto had already taken a long stride and rushed over like a black smoke. He was yelling strangely, and the mace in his hand was flexibly slashing left and right.

.

In an instant, there was a burst of blood and screams. Four or five assassins fell to the ground, and each of them had seven or eight bowl-sized holes poked in their bodies.

Toto seemed to be getting more and more excited with the beating, and his dark face was stained red by the splattered blood. He just wiped it casually, making the already ugly face even more ferocious.

The assassins had never seen such a monster before, and they all stood there dumbfounded. Some of them were even so frightened that they began to back away without daring to step forward.

Some assassins quickly changed their targets, and they soon focused on the old man who looked like a scholar on the old maroon horse. It seemed that he was the oldest and the weakest in martial arts, so he should be easy to deal with. Several men in black looked at each other and then

He immediately changed direction and ran towards him with his saber in hand.

The old man had already seen through their intentions, tightened the reins and stepped back a few steps, shouting to Lu Ning and Totuo:

"Lu Ning, Toto! I'll go first! You guys are responsible for breaking up the rear!"

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and pinched its belly, and the horse let go of its hooves and ran forward. At this time, the man in black saw that there was a petite woman hidden behind the middle-aged man.

When the woman saw the assassin chasing after her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly put on a hood to cover her face, clutching the middle-aged man's clothes tightly, her whole body shaking.

"Hurry up and catch up with the maroon BMW, the woman is on the horse!" Someone shouted, and seven or eight men in black immediately turned around and chased after him.

The two people who were fighting with the assassins were shocked when they heard this. Lu Ning wanted to go to rescue, but five or six assassins were still fighting with her. She inevitably became more and more angry and couldn't help but cursed:

"Damn it! When they saw that they couldn't defeat us, they launched a mass sea tactic to fight us fiercely, and even picked on the weak. They really couldn't vent their anger until they were killed! Toto, go and save the master! Leave this to me!"

"You thieves, don't even think about touching my husband!"

As Toto spoke, he overturned four or five more men in black, then jumped on his horse and galloped towards the old man.

Although he tightened the horse's buttocks, the black horse under his crotch ran very fast. However, the distant water could not save the nearby fire. He could only watch as the three men in black leaped up, raised their sabers and struck at the two horses.

"master!"

"gentlemen!"

Toto and Lu Ning let out a shrill cry at the same time.

Suddenly, there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and three cold arrows flew from nowhere. With the sound of hunting wind, they hit the three assassins' faces. Before the three people could see who it was, they fell to the ground and died.

Lu Ning looked at the three corpses on the ground and felt secretly worried - he didn't know whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend!

But the men in black in front of her were too fierce, their skills far exceeded her expectations, and their numbers were far greater than theirs. After a round of fighting, she was overwhelmed, her body was sweating profusely, and her face looked slightly tired.

I have no time to think about the archer anymore.

In an instant, three more cold arrows shot through the air. The three people who were struggling with Lu Ning fell to the ground and soon lost their breath.

Lu Ning escaped temporarily and didn't have time to think too much. She immediately turned the horse's head and spanked the horse's butt hard. She rushed to the side of the military advisor and tightened the nine-section whip and flicked it backhand.

The force of this whip was so strong that it instantly shattered the skull of a person who was close to him! Another one swept through thousands of troops, and seven or eight men in black were knocked off their horses in an instant. A few people were temporarily freed to take a breather.

"Can you see where the cold arrow came from?" The old man turned his horse around and ran to the girl's side, frowning and staring at the body on the ground.

The girl put away the silver whip and said: "I didn't see clearly, but this person should be here to help us!"

While they were talking, a neighing sound sounded. The two followed the sound and saw a man in white robes riding a tall maroon horse and galloping towards them.
