The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 196 The First Wave of Assassins

Li Xiaodao rode her horse northward out of the town smoothly, but as soon as she left the town, she stopped at a fork in the road, one on the left and one on the right, and got into trouble.

Xianggong only said that you can go north to Qinghe Prefecture by riding a horse for seven or eight days, but now there are two roads that go north, which one should you take?
She desperately recalled the rough topographic map of Southeast Province that Xianggong drew for herself on straw paper before going out on horseback with him.

At that time, Qinghe Prefecture did not seem to be mentioned, and I had no memory of it, only roughly remembering where Jinsha Town, the provincial capital, and Anzhou were.

Mr. Xianggong said that Qinghezhou is about seven or eight days away on horseback to the north of Jinsha Town, while Anzhou is in the northeast of Jinsha Town. In the direction of the road, the road on the left seems to detour to the west, and it may not be closer than the detour to Anzhou.

However, neither of the two roads has been passed. In case there are some big rivers and mountains blocking the road from Jinsha Town to Anzhou, it is right to go west, and it is not necessarily true; It can be seen.

Li Xiaodao sighed, he got off to a bad start as soon as he set off.

She pondered again, since she hadn't gone through the two roads anyway, she might as well try to go to Anzhou, where she could still send reinforcements, even if General Gao was not in Anzhou, she could still ask Master Shen for help.It is much more useful to take people to Qinghe Prefecture to help Xianggong than to go alone.

After all, if you calm down and think about it, no matter how good you are at practicing knife throwing, you are indeed just a weak woman, and even if you can't help me much, you must not be a hindrance.

Thinking of this, she looked at the restless horse that had been moving around again, and suddenly she had an idea, took out a husband's old clothes from her bag, put it in front of the horse's nose, let the horse smell it for a while, and said, "Good boy!" Ma'er, this suit belongs to my husband, which direction should I go to find him?"

I saw the horse raised its front hooves and neighed, and then ran towards the road on the right without hesitation.

"I knew it was this way! It seems that our two heroes see the same thing! Oops! You run slowly! I am a novice on the road! No, no, no, you should run faster!"

Under the moonlight, Li Xiaodao galloped wildly on his horseback. The winding country dirt road stretched forward, and it was hard to see where it ended.

Li Xiaodao didn't know what time it was, she only knew that she was going to be scared to death walking at night.

The invisible night road was the next best thing. The scariest thing was that she was the only one on the whole road, and she was very, very quiet.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!" Li Xiaodao said silently while galloping on horseback, but she didn't dare to shout too loudly, lest some bandits would come down the mountain listening to the sound.

"Horse! You must be stronger than brother's horse, and you must run faster than it! Only in this way can we catch up with Mr. Gong!" She talked to the only creature that could communicate with her at the moment, trying to clear up the dark zone coming fear.

As if the horse understood, it neighed again, its hooves spread more joyously, and it ran faster.

As a result, after running for not long, Li Xiaodao found that the sky seemed to be faintly bright.

Did he sleep until the wee hours of the morning?How long did it take before it came out?Can you still catch up with your husband?

But my brother's horse hasn't run any long distance, so it shouldn't run fast, and there should be a chance.

Pei Zhiqi has been riding a horse for two days.In the past two days, Pei Zhiqi tried his best to follow the official road during the day, non-stop, not giving the assassin behind him a chance to strike, and he would definitely find an official post before evening.After winning the election, the government gave a fire card, and with the fire card, you can use the official post that ordinary people cannot use.

There are many people in the official station at night, and everyone inside is not an ordinary person. If it is not guaranteed, there will be someone who delivers a letter to an important person or is a high-ranking official, etc. The assassins behind these two days have not made a move.

Huo Pai could still send three postmen, but Pei Zhiqi didn't want to waste their lives, so he didn't ask the postmen for help.

But on the third day, he rode until the evening, but did not find the next official post.

Maybe the official post is a little ahead, maybe it will be there after a short night walk, but this horse usually only runs errands and pulls carts in the provincial capital, and rarely runs in the wild for a long time. Even if it is driven by the rein, it can't run anymore. It just stops and spins in place, or moves forward slowly.

Too bad, Pei Zhiqi thought.He had no choice but to dismount, let the horse rest on the spot, and fed it some dry food and water.

Tonight, either let Ma Xie go on for a while and find the official post to rest, or he can only light a fire here and sleep in the wild.

But no matter which one you choose, you will have to pass the next assassin first.

Because of my wife's suggestion, I practiced sword and exercised for half a year, and then practiced martial arts for half a year under the guidance of the most powerful nurse that Boss Wan found. Odds are good.

Boss Wan's Nursing Institute taught one person to fight against multiple people, and it can be practiced today.

Pei Zhiqi was sitting on the side of the road, resting and thinking while stroking the ground with his hands.

The vibrations from the ground became stronger and stronger, and the horses behind were getting closer.

And the horse he was riding was still grazing leisurely by the side of the road, with no intention of leaving at all.

Pei Zhiqi got up helplessly, took the sword in his hand ahead of time, and recalled some moves taught by the Nursing Academy.

After a while, a small group of men in black riding horses appeared in the field of vision.

All the men in black were masked, Pei Zhi counted oddly, there were five assassins in total, but there was no Jieyan among these five.

Although they were all masked, none of the five people was as tall as Jie Yan.

Pei Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, maybe he was underestimated, but fortunately he was underestimated, so maybe he could save his life.

The assassins were all veterans. They stepped forward and surrounded Pei Zhiqi first, then dismounted one after another, and then took out weapons from their waists. There was no unnecessary movement or nonsense in the whole process.

Four of the five people followed the instructions of one person, and the person made a gesture, and as soon as the gesture was made, the five people gathered around and rushed over with their knives drawn.

Pei Zhiqi had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, thinking in his heart that there are too many enemies and we are too outnumbered to be caught in a melee. He must hit No. 1 who rushed to the front with heavy hands quickly, and then break through the encirclement, fighting while retreating, breaking the whole into pieces.

He followed Boss Wan's Nursing Academy's teaching, first quickly repelled the first person who came forward with his sword, then quickly ran towards the opening, and then turned around to deal with the assassins who came forward one by one.

Maybe Boss Wan's Nursing Academy taught them well, or maybe these assassins were not good at learning. Pei Zhiqi's reaction speed and strength were a bit better than these assassins, and each assassin could be defeated with no more than five moves.

It's just that running and making moves consume a lot of energy. When the assassins were beaten to the ground and fled, Pei Zhiqi was already exhausted.

Maybe it would be better to take off the soft armor, but without the protection of the soft armor, if a hidden arrow is shot from a distance, it will be powerless to resist.

I usually wear soft armor for training. Although I have long been used to its weight, the fact that it consumes energy cannot be changed.

Pei Zhiqi supported his body with his sword, and slowly walked back to the horse. Sweat dripped from his forehead, but he smiled slightly.

It's a escape.There are still four or five days to go, and I hope it will go smoothly.
