Chapter 45

Tonight, the moonlight was bright, and two huge black shadows flew past the sky. They seemed to have discovered some target, and flew directly over the mountain jungle and headed north toward the city.

Time was just about to be settled, and inside and outside Luocheng was still calm. However, no one knew that at this moment, a fierce confrontation at the Luo River Ferry in the north of the city was thrilling from the beginning.

The first person to realize that the situation is not good is Bai Ye. The experience accumulated by many years as a thief has given him sensitive sense of touch and observation. Such skills are of great use at some point.

When the night wind blew over with water vapor, Bai Ye, who was riding a horse and walking a few feet away from the left front of the carriage, clearly felt an unusual atmosphere. It was a special smell of swords and iron blood in the tense atmosphere. He was shocked and hurriedly looked up and glanced around, and he had already noticed the cold light flashing in the reeds in front of him.

"I have murderous aura! Be careful!"

Bai Ye did not dare to neglect, so he quickly drew his sword and shouted a warning. No matter what the situation was ahead, he must not be careless. Almost at the same time, he saw Lao Ji, who was driving the carriage, paused his feet, and the carriage suddenly stopped. It was obvious that he had already noticed the abnormality in front of him.

Bai Ye felt relieved when he saw Lao Ji's figure. He had personally experienced the hunchbacked coachman's ability, and he suffered a great loss at that time. It can be said that he had no power to fight back. Although he was not sure what the young man walking with him had, as long as Lao Ji was there, he expected that even if an unpredictable accident occurred, there should be no great danger.

However, it doesn’t take long to wait. Bai Ye may understand that he was too optimistic. The enemy who was ambushing and attacking in the reeds at the ferry entrance were well prepared and had a killing weapon to serve!

Chu Jiangmian was stunned when he heard the warning. He first made a gesture to Qiancheng and Xueer, asking them to sit down and not move around. Then he poked his head out of the carriage and asked.

“What’s the situation?”

"Little Prince, at the ferry in front, a night bird flew up from the reeds just now. It was obviously frightened. If I had made no mistake in my observation, there should be heavy troops ambushing there. Are we still going forward?"

Bai Ye hurriedly approached a little and told Chu Jiangmian his suspicion. Fortunately, he was alert in advance, and there was still about a hundred feet away from where they stopped to the ferry. Just in case, if the group turned around and walked back immediately, it would be too late.

After all, Murong Licheng, who was walking on the right, was not as experienced as Bai Ye in this regard. However, he did not notice anything abnormal. Suddenly, he saw the carriage stop. He turned around in surprise and heard what Bai Ye said to Chu Jiangmian. The boy immediately approached the side of the carriage. The sister was sitting inside. If you want to get close to any danger, you must pass his level first!

"Time is urgent and there is no need to delay. Since we have left the city, there is no reason to go back."

Chu Jiangmian only answered this sentence. Lao Ji shook the whip gently and handed it to him. But he heard him smile faintly and said.

"Little Prince, can you ask for a pot of wine?"

Bai Ye and the boy looked at each other, and the two of them were really confused. They knew that there was an unknown danger waiting in front of them, but the driver of Prince Zhao was not saying that he was driving seriously, but instead asked for wine at this critical moment.

However, beyond their expectations, Chu Jiangmian's face showed a relaxed smile when he heard Lao Ji's words. He smiled, took out a pot of wine from his luggage, and handed it over.

"There is not much wine anymore, and the road is still far. You have to save some drinks... When you return to Longcheng, you can drink as much as you want, and you can take care of it every day!"

Lao Ji took it without hesitation, opened his mouth and drank half a pot in one breath. Since he followed the prince, he has become increasingly inseparable from this kind of superb taste in the world.

"Good wine! Just half a pot, and the remaining half pot will be drunk after crossing the river! If you really drink it all, you really don't have the energy to drive. Haha!"

Lao Ji, who had half a pot of strong wine, wiped away the wine stains stuck to his gray beard. He cherished his face and hid the remaining half of the pot of wine in his arms. Then he jumped out of the carriage and muttered in a low voice.

"There are so many people who are asking for trouble... Alas! The little prince looked at the carriage first, don't let Princess Xueer and Miss Qiancheng be frightened. As for you two, just stay here. Look around by the way, don't let cats and dogs come over, save some trouble."

The slightly hunched figure said as he wanted to walk forward. The young man had never seen Lao Ji's power, and he was still opening his eyes wide and thinking about what he meant, but he had already heard Chu Jiangmian say loudly.

"Wait for you first...this sword is given to you!"

Lao Ji did not look back, he just took it over and said with a joke.

"Little Prince, your sword was damaged in Lao Ji's hands last time. If this one is destroyed by you, then you don't want it... Huh? This sword...?"

Lao Ji suddenly stopped talking because he finally saw clearly the sword in his hand while he lowered his head. Even a person like him suddenly felt the weight of the sword and the sharp momentum hidden in the scabbard, and could not help but be shocked.

"Well, this is the sword given by Emperor Zhou today. In a hurry, I didn't have time to take a closer look. Who knows what kind of sword it is! Lao Ji, I'll leave it to you now and see what monsters there are in front of you."

Under the moonlight, the hunchbacked driver, who was called "Lao Ji" by everyone, suddenly looked strange. His hands holding the sword seemed to tremble slightly, and he slowly pulled out half of the sword body. Sure enough, the two big words engraved on it were extremely familiar, confirming that his guess was correct!

"Gan Jiang... Hahaha! It was indeed it. Unexpectedly, this sword eventually fell into the hands of the little prince."

"What? You guys seem familiar... Don't worry about that much. This sword is yours now, so it shouldn't be damaged again, right?"

"You little prince, don't worry! With this sword in your hand, not to mention an ordinary weapon in the world, there is nothing to be afraid of if he is a monster or a monster. It makes Lao Ji go crazy when he drinks, even if it is the water of the Luo River, he has to give way to us... Hehe!"

Chu Jiangmian touched his forehead and looked at his yellow teeth, feeling a little regretful that he had let Lao Ji drink just now. This old man is good everywhere, but he likes to brag after drinking! The boy Licheng looked at his back, which was a little crazy walking towards the river, and reached out to draw a sword from behind. If there was really an enemy attack, he would certainly not stand by and let the driver resist. However, Lao Ji was so generous that he liked it a few times.

But just as they said these few words, the enemy hidden in the dark could no longer wait. Where the wind passed, the reeds opened and the cold light suddenly appeared.

Nangong Qi had already seen the carriage galloping and was ready to launch a surprise attack. However, he did not expect that the other party was extremely alert and stopped at such a distance. And it seemed that he had noticed something. If the fish that was about to take the bait ran away, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Nangong Qi was angry, and he was not going to wait any longer. Since it was a fight sooner or later, then start it! Therefore, when he saw the hunchbacked driver jumping out of the carriage and walking towards this direction, he aimed at the figure and pulled the plate machine without hesitation. Almost at the same time, the other people who received his instructions also fired the crimpeded crossbow arrows together. Five or six long crossbows, nearly twenty crossbow arrows in the first round, as fast as lightning, locked the person on the opposite side in an instant. This big killer weapon was originally prepared for him. Since he came to seek death on his own initiative, let's give him some fun!

After the three crossbow arrows in his hand were shot out, Nangong did not have time to pull the strings again, so he ordered all the ambush soldiers to attack as soon as possible! He did not want to startle the snake. Chu Jiangmian, who had become a frightened bird, took the opportunity to escape. As for the very powerful coachman, he was already a dead person in his eyes. In the cognition of Prince Wei, no one in this world could escape such a fatal blow, unless he was a god of Daluo and an immortal golden body!

Lao Ji is not a god, nor is he indestructible. He is just an ordinary person with a physical body and a lonely ascetic who hides from the gates of kings and princes. However, when a peerless sword is held in his hand, he is no longer an ordinary mortal!

Jinshuitan and Luohe Ferry Crossing will be destined to see how dazzling the light of a famous sword is after being completely stimulated.

Amid the sound of breaking through the air, a gust of wind blew over the face. Lao Ji, who had walked only ten feet away from the reed marsh, paused, and he had already seen those deadly edges covering him with the breath of death.

In the night, a faint smile appeared on his face. He pulled out the sword casually. In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of lightning flashing across everyone's eyes. No one could see clearly what happened at this moment. Amid the sound of controversy in his ears, it looked like fireflies flying around. The flying crossbow broke inch by the huge momentum of the sword and fell to the ground one after another!

"What a good sword! I didn't expect that Mengchen would still be so sharp for so many years."

Lao Ji, who had lost his sword, murmured, as if he was talking to an old friend he had known for many years. The light of the sword body shone on his face, and his expression seemed to be filled with endless nostalgia.

"He is so...so powerful!"

Murong Licheng, who saw Lao Ji take action with his own eyes for the first time, shouted this sound almost excitedly. Although the young man with natural divine power had seen many powerful people, he was already very impressed by the power of the sword just now.
